Li Baldy has not caught up until now, and he feels a little strange in his heart. However, he does not have the courage to go back and check the specific situation.
Even though he is resourceful and cunning, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Going eastward, you still don't know how many dangers you will encounter, and you can't cope with them by yourself. Therefore, He Cai wanted to recruit the Zhu brothers. Along the way
There are people who make the bed and fold the quilt, and serve tea and water.
Boss Zhu seemed to be more honest. When encountering such a thing, he couldn't see it for a moment. Chu stood next to him with a dark face and said nothing. Zhu Qi wanted to be smarter and looked at He and He with suspicion from the beginning.
.
"Who are you and why are you giving our brothers a way out?"
He Bu replied: "Do you still want to go back to Zhutian Village?"
The two brothers looked at each other, and they could see the embarrassment in each other's eyes. The Zhu family suffered a catastrophic disaster today. Some people in the same village went to report the news, but no one dared to stand up and help. There were dozens of households in Zhutian Village.
No matter how many men come out, they are not afraid of Baldy Li and his gang.
Even if we don't mention this incident, if something like this happened to the Zhu family, the two brothers would never be able to hold their heads high in the village.
Looking at this scene, He couldn't do anything, but he was a first-class expert at guessing people's hearts. Looking at the appearance of the two of them, he was already 70-80% sure.
"If you are willing to be an Orion melon farmer for the rest of your life, let's say goodbye. I'm afraid we won't see each other again in the future. If you don't have the blood of a man, just follow me eastward and you will have a chance to stand out in the future.
.”
The two brothers were already somewhat tempted, but it was difficult to leave their homeland, and it was not easy for them to abandon the place where they had lived for generations.
"Aren't you from Liangzhou? Why are you going east?" Zhu Qi asked.
I have to say that the first impression was the most profound. When Zhu Qi first met He, he was just a hungry melon thief. It was hard to imagine that he would become a big shot with dignity.
He Yiyi concluded that it was hard for him to say that he had drawn a clear line with Liangzhou, so Cheng Dalei's tiger skin would be useless.
However, his reaction was quick and he cheered up immediately without letting the Zhu brothers notice anything.
"I have something important to do. I can't tell you the specific reasons." He straightened his clothes and stood up: "To be honest, I am the general manager of King Cheng of Liangzhou. Believe it or not, I'm all up to you.
It’s your fault if you don’t follow me.”
When he opened his mouth, he suddenly looked majestic. The Zhu family brothers looked at each other and Zhu Qi said: "Sir, let us discuss it."
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside for a while, and we've decided to hit the road together."
After that, He walked out of the jujube forest. It was almost dawn now, and the white fish belly appeared in the east. He glanced in the direction of Zhutian Village, but he still couldn't figure out why Li Baldy didn't chase him.
Are you really lost?
In the dark, he seemed to feel that there were eyes staring at him. He scratched his head, but still couldn't figure it out.
Not long after, the Zhu brothers walked out of the woods, looking like they had already discussed their ideas.
He turned around and looked at the two of them with bright eyes.
Both of them looked a little embarrassed. They couldn't stay in Zhutian Village any longer, but as He walked forward, what would be waiting for him ahead?
"We brothers will be driven by Master He in the future. Master He will ask us to go east, but we dare not go west."
Hedao didn't have much reaction, so he waved: "Let's go."
Continuing to go south, it won't be long before you reach the border of Yangzhou. Of course, Yangzhou is now ruled by Li Xing, who now established the Dawu court to confront the Rong people across the river.
The population gradually became denser and more prosperous. The land south of the Yangtze River was rarely affected by wars, so most people could live and work in peace and contentment. Coming from the bitter cold land of Liangzhou, I never expected that there would be such a prosperous place in the world.
He still had some money on his body, so he changed into a set of clean clothes, changed clothes for the Zhu brothers, and bought weapons for the two of them in the blacksmith shop.
Boss Zhu used two open-edged axes for chopping wood, and Zhu Qi used a three-edged steel fork. They were dressed up like this, which made them look very majestic.
The Zhu brothers were born in poverty and had not seen much of the world. Growing up, they had never worn a few pairs of shoes. They were either barefoot or wearing straw sandals. They started to tremble because they were around them. At first, they felt a little uncomfortable.
Adapt and get used to it slowly.
"Master, where should we go next?" Zhu Qi asked.
"Why are you so anxious? You will have your glory and wealth in the future, so why are you asking nonsense?"
He scolded and pretended to be angry, but in fact he had no idea. He went all the way east to join Li Xingzai. No matter what, Li Xingzai would take him in. Now in Li Xing's territory, the reason why He chose to stay far away was because
In his eyes, Li Xing is really not a talent that competes in the world.
These are all minor. The most critical issue at the moment is: he has no money left.
I took some with me when I left Liangzhou and folded them in Zhutianzhuang. The dozens of taels of silver I took with me have been almost squandered by now. He can't bear the hardship. It's okay to starve in a deserted place.
How can I still suffer in this human world?
The most important thing is to spend some money.
Is a penny a hero? If Cheng Dalei robbed a wealthy family at night, it would be enough to squander it. But without Cheng Dalei's ability, looking at the two Zhu brothers behind him, they really don't look like thieves.
If I had known earlier, I would have brought more treasures from Liangzhou. Why would I have to calculate the accounts with Cheng Dalei so clearly?
He led the Zhu brothers around the streets, visiting teahouses and restaurants, and going to crowded places. After a day of tossing, he already had an idea in his mind.
This place is Nankang City in Yangzhou. The city lord is named Zhu Shanhai, who loves to refine elixirs and cultivate immortality. This is also the custom of Jiangnan. The land is rich and there are no wars and conflicts. Many wealthy nobles are willing to cultivate immortality and meditate all day long.
Tonight, they rested in a restaurant, and the Zhu brothers soon fell asleep. He went over the plan in his mind again, and only then did he feel relieved after confirming that everything was in order.
After waking up the Zhu brothers, they both looked a little confused when they opened their eyes: "Master, what are you doing?"
"Put on your clothes, grab your weapons, and let me do something."
The two of them were confused and followed He out of the restaurant, still not knowing what He was going to do.
He thought about it for a while, but the only idea he came up with was stealing and robbing. If he was given time, he would be able to figure out the overall situation, get a sum of gold and silver, and then leave in a big way.
However, He really didn't want to waste too much time in Nankang City, so it was more straightforward to steal and rob.
The city lord of Nankang City is seeking Taoism. There is a Taoist temple in the city that is most prosperous, and the goal tonight is to burn incense and worship the Lingxu Temple.
