The little princess of space where the concubine often eats

Chapter 60

And Ji Lingchen, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, sneezed, rubbed his nose and muttered to himself: "Why do you keep sneezing lately? Does the lady miss me? Hey, I haven't sent a letter back for so long. It seems Going back to be punished"

"Brother, what are you thinking about? So preoccupied?" Yu Mingcheng joked as he looked at Ji Lingchen, who was clearly distracted, "Could you be thinking about your sister-in-law?"

After these months of getting along, the two of them have the same views on many things, and they can talk well. In addition, although Yu Mingcheng is in business, he has traveled a lot and learned a lot. The two chatted along the way, Talking about drinking and talking, the relationship has become a lot closer.

The bandits around the foot of the wall outside the yard laughed out loud when they heard the joke, they were all hearty men.

"Second boss, do you miss your mother-in-law or women? Just two days ago, some people were caught, and there were women inside, and the brothers haven't moved yet. Do you want to get one for you tonight?" A man with a knife scar Said carelessly.

Ji Lingchen stroked his chin, and said inscrutably, "That woman of mine is an expert and a tigress, if she knows that I'm out stealing, you can clean it up for me when you get back..."

As he spoke, he sighed sadly, looking helpless.

Yu Mingcheng pursed his lips and smiled lightly, but he didn't expose him.

"Ah! You are better than the boss? How high is that martial arts? You are so pitiful, the boss. Don't worry, the brothers will enjoy it for you. You'd better keep your virginity and go back to find your sister-in-law." Dao Scar Thinking of Ji Lingchen's martial arts, the man couldn't help shivering, thinking that if he had the opportunity to see his sister-in-law in the future, he must treat her well and never offend her.

Ji Lingchen left the separate courtyard and went to the main hall of the village to find Tiger, the bandit leader in the village.Wang Huo was sharpening his knife. He stepped on a huge whetstone weighing seven to eighty catties, and held a large knife to sharpen it. A bucket of cold water was placed next to it.

When Wang Huo saw Ji Lingchen, he quickly put down the knife and ran over like a dog: "Is there something wrong with the second master?"

This man is highly skilled in martial arts and resourceful. Since he came to the stockade, he has never had any accidents when he went out to rob these days, and his harvest is much better than before.

Ji Lingchen said: "Is there only one way down the mountain? How long will it take to get to the city from here? Maybe our people will go to Jinling City?"

Wang Huhu was surprised: "Second leader, are you leaving? I'm afraid you won't be able to go to the city."

Mu Chengfeng frowned in displeasure: "Why?" I always want to pass on the news of safety, lest the timid little girl think about it. The road Yu Mingcheng led along the way was all in the forest trails, and he didn't meet him. I have been to a town, although it is safe, but the news is cut off, the incident happened suddenly, I was looking for news, but I couldn't understand it and brought many people out, only Anyi was with me, and I never had the chance to go out.

"We are bandits wanted by the government. Our portraits are all over the streets and alleys of Jinling City. If we go into the city, we will be sent to our door to seek death. The officials are not happy to see Lao Tzu. How do you say that? inside……"

Ji Lingchen said: "Catch a turtle in a urn."

Wang Huo slapped his forehead: "Yes, yes, it is to catch a turtle in a urn! What I said in the rivers and lakes is a word of righteousness. As the second master, you can definitely put a knife in your ribs, go up the mountain of swords and go down the sea of ​​​​fire without blinking your eyes! But we didn't let you Isn’t it reasonable for brothers to die in vain? There is a saying that is not bad, a good knife is used on a sharp edge, and it is not worth taking risks for a little thing, besides..."

"Jinling City was sealed off less than half a month ago, only allowed to enter but not to exit, even if allowed to enter, cannot exit."

Hearing this, Ji Lingchen frowned slightly: "Closing the city?"

Seeing him frowning in deep thought, Wang Huo nodded vigorously: "A while ago, the lame man in my village went to the city to inquire about news, but he never returned. I was afraid that he would be arrested by the government, so I sent a few brothers to look for him. There were a lot of officers and soldiers guarding the door, only allowing people to enter and not letting them out. When they encountered those who forced their way in, they were dragged down and beaten to death with sticks. We don’t know what happened in the city, and it’s likely that the group of dog officials are in the city again. play tricks."

Jinling City is really strange here.Ji Lingchen thought to himself, first someone risked his life to go to Beijing to report the spread of the plague in Jinling City, and then the gates of the Fucheng City were closed to prevent people from coming out, and the news was naturally blocked.The more this happens, the more problems are exposed.To cover up, to reveal fully.

"Second boss? Second boss?" Seeing that Ji Lingchen was silent, Wang Huhu called out again.

Ji Lingchen restrained his thoughts and said, "Since that's the case, let's let this matter go. I'll find another way."

He said he was going back to his residence.

Wang Huo threw away the knife he was sharpening, and followed Ji Lingchen, chattering about many things.

Ji Lingchen was still walking like flying in the dark mountain road, and asked casually, "Why do you fall into the grass and become bandits?"

Wang Huo was stunned, then laughed and said, "I was born in a den of bandits, why do you think I am a bandit? Haha——"

Ji Lingchen glanced at him, and said slowly, "I passed Jinling City five years ago, and I never heard of banditry."

A trace of discomfort flashed across Wang Huhu's face, and he said again: "It's because you were lucky that I didn't come out to rob you!" He pointed to the deep scar on his head, "See? After three days and three nights, I finally chopped that bastard until his bones were turned into scum, and he was stabbed in the head. At that time, you might still be wearing crotch pants! Dare to say that I am not a bandit, huh..."

The scar flickered across Ji Lingchen's eyes: "It's a new injury, no more than three years old." He touched it with his finger again, "It's caused by a blunt instrument, not a blade."

All kinds of lies were ruthlessly exposed, Wang Huo sighed dejectedly, fell in admiration to Ji Lingchen, sat down on the haystack, and began to pour bitterness on Ji Lingchen.

"Second leader, I won't hide it from you. Yes, I was not a bandit before." Wang Huo, a reckless man, even burst into tears when he talked about the past, "Not only am I not, but neither are the brothers in the village. Everyone is serious. Those who come out of the family are farming or doing small business in the village..."

"Our village is less than 200 miles away from Jinling City. I am a pig butcher in the village, and my life is not bad. At the age of 25, I paid for a house and a wife and gave birth to a big fat boy." Raising the back of his hand to wipe his face, he choked up and said, "But three years ago, when the new prefect came to Jinling City, he said that he would build a palace to welcome the holy driver, and the government also issued a notice. At the beginning, many young laborers in the village saw the wages they paid. Quite a few, with food and lodging included, so I signed up. My family doesn’t lack those two children, so I didn’t go.”

"After more than half a year, it was almost the end of the year, and the people who went to the practice palace didn't even return. Their families were not at ease, so the village head took the group to the government to ask about the situation. Opened his mouth, and was beaten by those government servants! The magistrate said that the village chief gathered unruly people to harass the government, trespassed on the government, and finally fined the village chief [-] slabs in public, and even beat an elderly man to death! We country people provoked I can't stand the government, dare not speak out, so I have to hold back. Since then, no one has signed up to go to the practice palace."

Ji Lingchen shook his head slightly: "According to what I know, the emperor never ordered Jianxing Palace to pick him up, nor did he expressly say that he would visit Jinling City."

Wang Huo said angrily: "It's not just a group of dog officials trying to curry favor! Later, no one wanted to be a coolie, so the government sent someone to ask for it. The number of people from each village is determined. In our village, every household has to send A strong man, if he has no son, he will give money, otherwise the old man in his [-]s and [-]s will also be arrested! When it was my turn, I refused to go, and four or five officers and soldiers came up and robbed me. My daughter-in-law held her son behind her back. I, who would have known that those frenzied wolves actually pushed people down the well! Poor my daughter-in-law and son, who just drowned alive like that! I, I—”

He couldn't make a sound, and cursed while choking: "I used to kill pigs but not people. That time I picked up the butcher's knife and stabbed it. The white knife went in and the red knife came out. The eyes were red, and it ended in a few strokes." I killed them. My wife and children died, and I killed officers and soldiers to commit a capital crime. I would definitely be beheaded. I didn’t want to live anyway, so I bumped my head against the well and wanted to go with my wife and the others. Heh...sometimes People are like this, it’s so hard to live, but I can’t die if I want to die. It was the people in the village who rescued me, and his leg was broken because he refused to be a strong man. Then we fled here with the rest of the village. At the top of the mountain, after hearing the news, people from the nearby villages all came to defect..."

Such a tragic experience, even a person like Ji Lingchen, who had fought on the battlefield, was slightly moved when he heard about it.He asked, "Did the government ever come here to arrest you?"

"I have been here twice. Hutou Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are many brothers. Our village was built in a hidden way. They couldn't take advantage of it. Later, they simply stopped coming. We were left here to fend for ourselves, and then we were killed in the city. Post our portraits to arrest us and prevent us from entering the city." Wang Huo looked at the big knife in his hand with a fierce look in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Once I have the chance, I will personally chop off the heads of those dog officials!"

Ji Lingchen patted Wang Huhu on the shoulder, don't worry, I promise you can make this wish come true.

Wang Huo rubbed the tears on his face and smiled wryly, "Brother, it's not that I don't believe in you, it's just that the people have never been able to defeat officials since ancient times, so we should save our lives first."

Ji Lingchen didn't say anything more, "Are there any animals like eagles on the mountain here?"

"Yes, there are everywhere in the mountains around here, but eagles are always fierce and hard to hunt." Wang Huo pointed to the nearby mountain.

"Thank you, I'll go take a look." After speaking, he flew over there.

Looking secretly at a certain prince using his great martial arts to catch eagles and deliver letters, he was already speechless. The most speechless thing, the matter of taming the eagles still fell on him, only two hours!Lord, you dote on your wife without abusing your subordinates...
