Only when the accounts are settled clearly can they be written off in one stroke.

Cheng Dalei understood this, and he also understood it. So when he left, he took nothing with him except the fare for the long journey and a skinny horse.

Cheng Dalei thought to himself that he always felt sorry for He, rather than He sorry for Toad Village. From the beginning to the end, he rarely truly trusted He. Therefore, Cheng Dalei couldn't blame him for He's departure.

It's just that I feel a little disappointed in my heart.

"With your master leaving like this, Shuofang City will be without a city lord. How do you think this matter should be handled?" Cui Baiyu asked.

Only then did Cheng Dalei come back to his senses. He thought for a moment and said, "Let Guan Yu temporarily act as the city lord. There is nothing too complicated in Shuofang City now. Guan Yu's ability is enough for the job."

After thinking about it carefully, he said to Cui Baiyu: "As soon as he leaves, you will have to be busy. You are responsible for the general affairs management."

In comparison, Cheng Dalei even trusted Cui Baiyu more. In this case, it is not surprising that He Hui left without saying goodbye.

"Send people to keep an eye on him along the way to see who he will end up in," Cheng Dalei said to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei agreed, said goodbye and left.

Nowadays, the situation in the world is a mess, but the situation in Liangzhou is calm. Cheng Dalei himself does not cause trouble, and other forces dare not extend their tentacles here. Chang'an Yeyuan Huo, Jiangnan Li Xing, and Donghai Li Xingzai, these three families dare not fight.

Liangzhou’s idea, not to mention other small forces

So now Cheng Dalei only needs to set up the outer defense line, keep an eye on the development of the empire's situation, and then wait to see where the situation will go and wait for the right opportunity to strike.

…

Let’s talk peace.

At this time, spring was coming to an end and summer was getting longer, and the weather was getting hotter day by day. After leaving Liangzhou with a single horse, we turned to the south of the Yangtze River. It was okay for the first three or two days, but as time went by, the road became more and more difficult to walk.

Because of the chaos of war, there were sometimes hundreds of miles of deserted areas, and even if he had money, he had nowhere to spend it. And He didn't have Cheng Dalei's ability to hunt casually, so the journey was naturally miserable.

Starving and sleeping at night, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. However, He is a person who can't stand it. By now, the high spirits he had when he first left Liangzhou have disappeared. Sometimes he also thinks that he left Liangzhou rashly,

Isn't it a wrong choice.

In any case, the environment in Liangzhou is considered good, and Cheng Dalei can be considered worthy of him. If you can't serve the dragon once, your achievements as a frontier official in the future will not be low.

I don’t know why I had such a brain convulsion that I had to go out to suffer even though I was living a good life. Think about it, I will definitely be ridiculed by others when I go back, especially that fat Zhang, whose words were the most vicious, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

At noon that day, the sun was scorching hot, and my mouth was dry from walking. A melon field suddenly appeared in front of me. Green vines held black-striped watermelons, and the color was just right.

He immediately felt salivation in his mouth. He picked up a watermelon and slapped it away on the spot. He didn't care whether it was raw or cooked, and chewed it with open mouth.

The skinny horse next to him was also chewing the flesh of the melon, and each man and the horse devoured large portions.

After eating the whole melon, He finally regained some of his vitality. He held half of the watermelon in his hands and looked around, feeling like he had lived in two lifetimes.

When I was in Liangzhou, although I could not say that I was rich in fine clothes, fine food and delicacies, I never lacked all the things necessary for daily life.

Why bother to come out and live such an unhuman life? Now I am so poor and destitute, the world is so big, and I don’t know where I can live.

"Hey, where did this melon thief come from!"

Suddenly, there was a loud roar, which startled him, and he almost dropped the watermelon in his hand to the ground.

He raised his head and saw a stout young man running towards him with long strides, carrying a dung fork in his hand.

The young man said angrily: "You melon thief, I was just taking a piss, and you ruined my huge melon field."

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I am a traveler. I am thirsty, so I picked your melons to eat."

"I went to take a pee, and you quenched your thirst."

He gritted his teeth, not knowing whether this young man was really stupid or fake. If he hadn't seen this young boy being strong, He Zhen wanted to kill him with a knife, which would have saved him trouble.

"Don't make any noise, kid. I just ate a few of your melons. I'll pay you as much as you deserve."

"If a traveler is thirsty, it doesn't matter if he picks a few melons to eat. But if you don't even say a word, you are a melon thief." The young man rolled his eyes: "Do you have money?"

He rolled his eyes at him, put his hand into his arms, and his expression suddenly froze.

I had some money with me, but I didn't have the chance to spend it along the way. I suddenly used it now, but I don't know where I put it.

Looking at the expression on his face, the young man guessed something and snorted coldly: "What am I talking about? Judging from your poor appearance, you are not rich. You really don't have the money to pretend to be rich."

"Brother..." He Gong cupped his hands.

"That's all, you don't have to be nice. If you have money, give me money. If you don't have money, be careful and I'll beat you up."

When a real dragon swims in the shallow water and is teased by a shrimp, a tiger falls flat and is bullied by a dog. He thought that after a short while, he was ridiculed by this descendant.

He was cruel, took off his sword and threw it to the young man, saying: "This knife is enough to repay you the melon money, are you satisfied?"

Kazumoto doesn't use a sword. This portable short sword is mostly used as a decoration. The scabbard is embedded with orbs, and it is cold when pulled out.

This young man was also about twenty years old, so how could he not love this weapon? He held it in his hand and kept playing with it, and he suddenly beamed with joy.

"Enough is enough."

He Leng snorted and said: "Lead the horse with me and take me to your village. If you serve me well, you will still benefit from it."

The young man agreed repeatedly, and He rode the horse, and he led the horse barefoot. On the way, He asked about it, and only then did he find out that the young man's name was Zhu Qi, and he was from the nearby Zhutian Village.

There are seventy or eighty households in this Zhutianzhuang village with two surnames.

Zhu Qi's parents died early, so he and his brother and sister-in-law lived together. After returning to the village, they vacated a house for He and He to live in, and arranged food and hot water. He suffered too much along the way and did not have a full meal for a long time, although it was just

It's a simple meal, but it's still a clean meal.

This Zhu Qi has a young heart. How can he not show off in front of others when he gets a precious sword? His brother goes to the mountains to hunt at night, but Zhu Qi still has to guard the melon shed and look at the melons. Only his sister-in-law is left in the family.

This woman's mother-in-law was a member of the Murata clan, but she said that the Zhutian clan had been having an affair with her cousin Tian Hu since she was a child.

Today, both brothers Zhu Qi were not at home, so Tian Hu climbed over the wall and the two of them fell upside down on the kang.

Afterwards, Mrs. Zhu Tian talked about He. When she and He were tidying up the bed today, they saw that there were many treasures in his package.

Sake made people's faces red, and wealth and silk moved people's hearts. Tian Hu secretly thought about it. If he lured a bandit to come over and steal Zhu Qi's family, he could get some gold and silver, and he could have a long-term relationship with the Zhu Tian family.
