Chapter 395: Knowing Current Affairs, Pharmacist Guo's Thoughts
When Dong Xiuo and Luo Qinghan ordered the villagers Zhuang Ding to collect the corpses, they led Yan Qing, the Yan brothers and others to a village in the east of Benxi County. But when they came to the entrance of the town, they found this
The bloodstains of Yin and Yin remained on the foot-high wall of the dock in Chuzhuang Town, and the corpses of many Han people and nomads were lying around.
"What's going on? How come Caohe Town was also attacked by those laughing dogs!?" Dong Xiaoxiao yelled in shock and anger. He rode his horse and wanted to rush into the town to find out what was going on, but before he could get off the horse, he couldn't.
After running a few steps, there were several "swish, swish, swish!" sounds of arrows coming from the wall of the town dock, and several feathered arrows were nailed directly to a position about five or six steps in front of Dong Xiaoxiao.
While those arrow feathers were still buzzing and trembling, someone suddenly heard shouting from the wall of the dock: "Where did you guys come from? If you take one more step forward, you will be killed without mercy!"
Dong Xiaoxiu saw a dozen villagers with bows and swords suddenly appearing from above the wall of the dock. The man leading them was taller than seven feet tall and had a light yellow face. He seemed to be a big man who often practiced martial arts.
When Dong Xiuo saw the man clearly, he said happily: "But brother Liu Shunren? I am Dong Xiuo! Are the other brothers in the town okay?"
The man named Liu Shunren was slightly startled. He leaned on the wall and saw clearly that it was Dong Xiu, and he immediately said: "It turns out to be brother Dong! Why are you mixed with those Bohai people?"
Dong Xiuqiu waved his hand and said: "I'll wait until I enter the town to talk about the gossip! Xiao Tang and Xiao Renxia sent their confidants to see Brother Guo. He quickly opened the door and asked me to wait in!"
After hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed across Liu Shunren's face. He is a careful and careful person. Speaking of which, Liu Shunren and Dong Xiaoxiu are not very close. It is just because he worships Yaoshi Guo as his eldest brother, and both Yaoshi Guo and Dong Xiaoxiu are Han Chinese from Liaodong.
There are some famous heroes who also know each other's names, so Liu Shunren followed Guo Yaoshi and others from the northern part of Tokyo Road to this time, and then came here to get acquainted with Dong Xiaoxiu and others.
The conflicts among various tribes in the northern part of Liaodong became even more intense, among which the female straights were the most fierce. We left our homes and fled to the boundaries of Liaoyang Prefecture. Now we finally have a place to live. We need to be careful in everything... So what?
Although I have heard Brother Guo mention the matter of Xiao Tang, the Bohai people brought by Dong Xiujiu do not seem to be good people. What does it have to do with the envoys of the Southern Dynasties? It’s just that Brother Guo first talked to Dong Xiuo.
The brothers had a dispute, and now it's hard to offend him any more. We must quickly call Brother Guo to come and make a decision.
Liu Shunren wanted to pay, and he said loudly to Dong Xiuo: "Brother Dong, please rest for a while. When I call brother Guo, I will talk to you in detail."
After Dong Xiuzi heard this, his brows suddenly knitted into a big knot. Listening to what Liu Shunren said, didn't this make it clear that he didn't believe me? Dong Xiuo became angrier as he thought about it, but just as the anger on his face grew stronger,
Hearing a burst of noise on the wall of the dock, Yaoshi Guo and several other Han leaders had also climbed onto the wall.
"Brother Dong Xiu, fortunately you are fine! Brother, I can feel relieved." Medical Master Guo said happily when he saw Dong Xiu, then he looked at the more than 3,000 soldiers and horses behind Dong Xiu, filled with evil spirits.
When there were horse thieves in the Bohai Sea, he showed a vigilant look on his face and asked Dong Xiaoxiu: "Brother, why are you hanging out with those Bohai people?"
Dong Joker snorted loudly and shouted: "Brother Guo, you guys are so annoying! And after all, are you willing to open the door!?"
Seeing Dong Xiaoke's impatience, Yan Qing started to argue with Guo Yaoshi and others after a few words. He immediately rushed to Dong Xiaoke's side and said loudly to Guo Yaoshi: "Guo Zhuangshi, do you still remember Xiao Ke?"
"
When Pharmacist Guo saw Yan Qing, he was startled at first, and then said with joy on his face: "You are not the official Yan Qingyan who is close to Mr. Xiao? Mr. Xiao has a great kindness to me, a refugee in Liaodong, how can I forget it?
I heard that Master Xiao has gone north to Huanglong Mansion to purchase Northern Pearls, but at this time of year, rebellious troops are swarming all over Liaodong. I am worried about Master Xiao's safety, why are the officials here?"
Yan Qing raised his hand to Pharmacist Guo on the wall of the dock and said loudly: "Xiao Ke has been ordered by my brother to discuss something important with Guo Zhuangshi. This matter is related to the livelihood of the Han family refugees in Liaodong, so we must discuss it with Guo Zhuangshi."
It’s best to discuss it carefully.”
Pharmacist Guo thought about it for a while, and finally ordered to go down and open the gate of the dock wall, and let Dong Xiuo, Yan Qing, the Yan brothers, Duan Jingzhu, Luo Qinghan and others enter Zhuang Town. When Yan Qing entered Zhuang Town,
Behind the wall of the dock, many villagers were carrying earth bags and wooden fences, and they were still repairing and guarding against the strongmen and bandits everywhere, and the raids and plunders by tribal horsemen.
Dong Xiaoxiao, who had entered the town, had just gotten off his horse when he heard someone shouting: "Brother, it's a good thing you weren't killed by those taunting dogs!"
Dong Xiaoxiu looked over and saw Dong Zhongsun, his clan brother who had first brought the whole clan to Caohe Town to escape from trouble. Dong Xiaoxiu was about to go up to meet him when he saw Dong Zhongsun and the brother beside Yaoshi Guo, the one named Zhao Heshou.
When the man passed by, Dong Zhongsun glared at Zhao Heshou and cursed: "Fortunately, my brother is fine, otherwise I will not let go of this matter with you!"
Zhao Heshou only laughed twice, and without replying to Dong Zhongsun, he went ahead without saying anything. Dong Clown was even more puzzled when he saw this, and asked Dong Zhongsun: "Brother, what is going on?"
Dong Zhongsun said angrily: "Brother, you don't know something! After I brought our little brother to Caohe Town, I begged Pharmacist Guo to rescue my brother. At that time, the town had just repelled a group of bandits who came to plunder.
A villager came to report that thousands of horse thieves from the Bohai Sea had also arrived near Benxi County. When Guo Yaoshi learned about it, he pushed back and refused to use his own hands to relieve his brother's siege!
Brother, we can be considered kind to Yaoshi Guo and those guys, but when brother was in danger, those birdmen just sat there and watched! We were heart-to-heart with them, but did those guys ever regard us as brothers!?"
"Is there such a thing!?" Dong Xiujiao's face suddenly darkened. He thought for a moment and then snorted: "Now we are going to start a fight with them to make the heroes sent by Xiao Renxia laugh. Let's write this down for now.
, it’s not too late for us to argue with them later!”

Yan Qing and others were invited by Pharmacist Guo to the hall of a large family in Caohe Town. After some pleasantries, Yan Qing learned that on that day, Pharmacist Guo received a gift of 50,000 yuan from Xiao Tang to resettle the hungry people in Liaodong.
Several brothers from Benxi County came to visit Dong Xiaoxiu, who was also well-known on Liaodong Road. Dong Xiaoxiu loved to make friends with heroes on the road, and both of them were Han family members on Liaodong Road, so he entertained Guo Yaoshi and others warmly.
After getting along with each other for a while, we became quite speculative.
About another month later, Xiao Baoxian, who was left behind in Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, Liao Kingdom, was assassinated. When rebellions broke out across Liaodong, the Yuanwai Dong family in Caohe Town was also attacked by rioters who looted food. The whole family was also killed. Already.
After the chaos and riots, the Han people in the town still had to resist the intrusion of the surrounding horse thieves and foreign vagrants. However, Guo Pharmacist Shen Yi was courageous and able to control the crowd with force. Many Han refugees regarded him as their mainstay. Therefore, Caohe Town is now transferred to the township. He is mainly in charge of matters such as bravely defending the enemy and repairing the walls of Zhuangzhen and Wuxing.
Yan Qing also explained Xiao Tang's intention of sending him here to Pharmacist Guo. When everyone learned that Xiao Tang was setting up a town overseas to accommodate refugees from Liaodong, Dong Xiuqiu was the first to express his willingness to join Yan Qing and his whole family. Go to the simple fort wall in Caohe Town. It is different from the ordinary strong and deep fortifications of the Han people in eastern Liaoning. Now the situation is becoming more and more unstable. Today, there are only some Xi people nomadic tribes or some rogue strongmen with only three to five hundred people intruding. , but when any rebel army from Liaodong comes to attack, they will definitely not be able to resist it.
But just as Dong Xiaoguo had just finished speaking, Pharmacist Guo, who had been silent all this time, slowly raised his head. He stared at Yan Qing meaningfully and asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Yan, Mr. Xiao went to the overseas islands of Liaodong privately to set up a stronghold." Town, but under the orders of the officials of the Southern Dynasty? The Song Dynasty also expected that the situation in Liaodong was turbulent, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to plot the northern part of the Liao Kingdom?"
