On the edge of Qingjiang River, the river is gurgling.
Chen Laoshi was sitting on his boat, smoking a cigarette pipe, his furrowed face full of depression and helplessness.
How come I was so obsessed with lard at that time that I wanted to join the Dingxiang Guards of that Lao Shizi!
It's better now, I can't run away even if I want to.
The Qi State lost the war and wanted to divide the rivers with the Han State to rule. The land north of the Luo River and the two river basins were allotted to the Han State. My life was about to get better, and I could have enough food and clothing every day.
It's warm.
Who knew that suddenly it would be a bolt from the blue.
Brother Ergou came over and informed his family that they were moving to the south bank of the Luo River.
Let’s go to the Qi State. I am a Han, not a Qi person. Ever since the Qi State signed the Luo-Jiang Treaty, my family has become a Han, not a Qi person.
If I don't want to go, there is nothing the higher-ups can do.
But my stupid son, I don’t know what medicine he took in the past few days, and he is clamoring to go to Qi State to rescue the people of Qi State who are in dire straits.
Damn it, after just a few days of eating, this turtle's wings are stiff.
After being punished by me for a few times, this kid stopped clamoring and went to Qi State.
Chen Laoshi finally felt relieved and no longer had to think about going to Qi to starve. Looking at the neighbors who had moved their families, Old Chen understood very well.
When I went there, I was starving. I had just eaten the Han Dynasty's food for two days, and I didn't know how much I weighed.
Not complying with Shangguan's order, Chen Laoshi thought about quitting being a Dingxiang Guard, so he fished hard to support his family. The money he got from selling the fish was enough to buy a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and he suddenly had food.
What a wonderful day this is.
But just now, when Chen Laoshi was going out, he met his son who was sneaking out.
Chen Laoshi was a little curious. This kid has always been mysterious these days and what he was doing.
Following his boy, he arrived at a pear orchard and saw several young boys gathering together. Listening to what they were discussing, Chen Laoshi almost burst into anger.
"Xiaoqian's parents went to Qi State to contribute their own efforts to save the people of Qi State who were in dire straits."
"I'm leaving too, waiting for you in Qi State."
"Xiao Niu, you should hurry up. We are about to leave. When parents say goodbye to their relatives, we will leave too."
"Don't be discouraged, Maverick. The battle of wits and courage with your father is always hard, but if you can go to Qi, it's always worth it."
A group of middle school teenagers who were bewitched by unknown sources spoke high-spiritedly about serving the country and the people.
Xiao Niu is Chen Laoshi's son. When he heard the news that all his fellow villagers were leaving, he became depressed. He bid farewell to his fellow villagers and went home dejected.
Chen Laoshi was sitting under the bare pear tree, as if his whole body had been ripped out of bones.
He didn't know what these young men heard, and they actually wanted to contribute their own efforts to the Qi State. Don't they know how dark the Qi State government was? For a few fish, they beat Chen San to death on the river.
Because she had beaten the drum of injustice, Mrs. Chen San was beaten to death in front of the government office.
Such corrupt officials actually want to contribute. These guys are really out of their minds.
Chen Laoshi came out of the Liyuan but did not go home. He went to the riverside near the village, found his boat, sat on the bow and smoked a cigarette.
It seems that it is impossible not to go to Qi State.
It's a pity that I rejected Brother Ergou and was unable to go as a Dingxiang Guard. Now I am going in vain. It will be impossible to return to the Han Kingdom by then.
Do you want to go find Brother Ergou again and talk about your decision to go to Qi State voluntarily?
Hey, what a cheating thing.
"Brother, why are you smoking here? Look, who is here?"
Chen Laoshi was stunned for a moment, then he looked over and saw Ping Qi, who was smiling. He was the new governor of Liangjiang Prefecture of Dingxiang Guard, and his old boss had decided to join Dingxiang Guard.
"Meet the Governor"
Chen Laoshi stood up in a hurry and saluted Ping Qi with his hands crossed. His wrinkled face was dark red. He was a high official and a good man.
Qi Qi waved his hands and said with a smile: "Brother, you don't have to be polite. Our friendship doesn't require these clichés."
"I heard that you don't want to go to Qi State, so you have to leave Dingxiang Guards for this. It's not necessary. If you don't go to Qi State, you can still be Dingxiang Guards in our Han State. It's not like there are no robes in our Han State.
, not only are there, there are quite a lot of them.”
Ping Qi sincerely invited Chen Laoshi to come back and continue to work on Dingxiang Wei.
Chen Laoshi's face lit up. The governor's words meant that he had not been dismissed from the Dingxiang Guards yet. Not only did he agree to continue to be the Dingxiang Guards, but he also meant that if he wanted to go to Qi State, it was not impossible.
discuss.
"Captain, I was the one who wanted to be sent here before. Since my superior has arranged it, I am willing to go to Qi State and serve as our Dingxiang Guard."
Ping Qi narrowed his eyes with a smile and said cheerfully: "That's right, it's not impossible, but Brother Honest, you brought the family with you. Originally, you wanted to stay for the sake of your sister-in-law and nephew. These sister-in-law and nephew?"
Chen Laoshi said hurriedly: "I want to take them all to Qi State. Is that possible?"
Pingqi and Ergou looked at each other, with a smile on their lips, turned around, calmed down, and said seriously:
"Honest brother, you have to think about it carefully. This mission is very dangerous."
Chen Laoshi patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Commander. I, Chen Laoshi, came in the wind and went in the rain. When I followed Brother Ergou to work for the Qi army, it was very hard. But I still made it through. It's okay.
I, Chen Laoshi, have experience.”
Three days later, Ergou and Lao Tan came to see Chen Laoshi off.
Sitting on the carriage, Chen Laoshi looked at his smiling son and his sad-looking wife, sighed in his heart, and explained to Ergou.
"Brothers Ergou, I am going to Qi State. I don't know if I can come back. My mother is relying on you."
Lao Tan rushed to say: "Don't worry, brother, I am responsible for everything. We are here to guard you. Clothing and seasonal vegetables will be delivered to your palace. I am responsible for everything."
Chen Laoshi suddenly had an ominous premonition: "Er Gou, could it be you?"
Ergou nodded: "Brother, don't be afraid. You go first. After a while, I will arrive. When I get there, I will still take care of you."
As he embarked on the road to Qi with tears in his eyes, Chen Laoshi really couldn't understand.
My son, Xiao Niu, went to Qi State to do his part, and his brain went crazy.
The Ergou brothers have official positions and can still live peacefully by the Qingjiang River. They also want to go to Qi State, which is also a mess.
I am afraid that my brain is full of water. It would be inappropriate to abandon the people of Han who have no shortage of food and drink, but choose to go to Qi State, which is short of food. I really have my brain.
Cars rattled, horses rustled, and people traveling far away embarked on the road away from home.
