The 33rd Christmas Eve Snow
Let’s talk about Dong Chao and Xue Ba’s two people. There was a fire in the grass stone field, and the ground was gone. They were about to keep for a few days. They were all shouting and secretly discussing. Dong Chao said: “I’m afraid I won’t take you and my brothers’ heads to sacrifice the flags? I often hear people say that whenever this guy fights in the Western Army, he will break out of the enemy’s formation and take the heads of the Western thief. He is so brave!”
Xue Ba was also worried. He knew that his two families would be rebellious, and the young and old could not protect them. Even if there was a thief, he would have a chance to occupy the top of the mountain. What kind of future could he have? He could not be as kind as the court, so he was timid and was determined to die.
He only left Dusong Pass, and the two of them were not injured. Dong Chao didn't know what to do, so he came to discuss and said, "Looking at his chaotic army, it's better to find an opportunity to run out. There are government officials along the way. He has never searched for you and me to seal the road text, and taught the wing army along the way, ignited the troops and killed the guys early. Not to mention only one, there are so many of them, so what is so great about it?"
Xue Ba hurriedly stopped him and said, "I ignored you and I, but I ignored you and I, and got the woman's orders. Just watch you and I want to run away and kill Qingjing with one knife? If he wants to keep you and me, he must have a problem. If he doesn't see someone killing for a few days, he must have a distinction. At least he will make some good things. Just say it. When you arrive in the capital, you will only tell me about it, and then say that he is black. Who believes that it can be vain? And for a few days, you don't have to sacrifice your life by yourself."
When I came to Enzhou, the traffic was very prosperous. Zhao Chu mentioned these two people, but he was not possessed. He had already forgotten the Xu Hanyong from the previous few days and was like garlic. But he begged for mercy and did not dare to refuse to obey.
Zhao Chu taught him, "Don't worry, I miss you two. Although I am not the same as me, I am also concerned about my family and loyal to the court. It is rare for two thieves to be thieves. Today, let's see how many of us are greedy and want to eat some good wine from Enzhou. If we are not in enough staff, we have to teach you two and move them together."
However, the army was crowded with people and powerful, so they had to thirty or fifty groups of people, and stopped from far away. When they saw the fireworks, they scattered and asked people to go to the market to buy food and water. It was really insufficient.
Dong Xue and the other two were not sure about this, so Dong Chao came to ask for his official documents. Zhao Chu smiled and said, "I will have two days to let you go, so don't worry. The official documents must be eaten by me and keep them freely on me. I will teach you two, and I will go back to Enzhou many times. I think I know the way, so I will go with a few brothers, get good wine, and return early."
The two of them could not do anything. Seeing the few people who were walking with sharp swords, they were about to take action just by waiting for him to run, and they dared not disobey them all the way. When they entered Enzhou City, they said some good things, saying that they knew where they were the best, but the one who did not let him go, took him hostage, so they looked for someone to ask, went straight to the wine shop, and waited for the government along the way, and they knew that they were not alive and dared not wait for an opportunity to escape, and secretly complained.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the men had obtained the gold and silver from the past, threw the gold and silver into the shopkeeper's hand, pointed at the two of them, and smiled and said, "You must see these two, but they are very friendly with my brother. They have already owned the gold and silver. They have given them too much by my master, so they can't carry them. Therefore, I will teach me some helpers - stop talking and call the best wine. There must be two officials here, so I won't teach you how to sue you."
The shopkeeper was quite embarrassed and said, "The guests' gold and silver are good, but the shop cannot resolve it."
The heroes looked at these two people, and the sharp knife on hand made his waist numb to the ground, so they could only smile and said, "You don't need to make changes, just give you enough wine, and you'll be on the way when you take a break."
It turns out that in this market, only copper coins are circulated, including three or five silos, seven or eight silos, and usually hundreds or dozens of silos. No wonder the shopkeeper is in a dilemma.
He only walked eastward, but there was prosperity, so some people held him hostage to buy wine and meat, and they were more generous. Many idle men who ate wine praised him: "What a good man, he spends money like this!"
On this day, when he saw Gao Tang, Dong Chao was very puzzled, but Xue Ba suddenly realized, fell to his feet and beat his chest and said, "You are the thief who killed the sky, so you can trap me two of you!"
Dong Chao asked, "Only he takes action, don't make any change in broken silver. It's all his own money to do your own business?"
Xue Bahen said, "I didn't see you and me walking towards the prosperous place along the road? He took you and me hostage just to teach people to see, and refused to cut the big piece of gold and silver, which clearly wanted to teach people to remember. If you and I don't meet his wishes in the future, they would go back to the capital and talk about him with some bad words. They would only teach a few people and spread the word everywhere, just say that you and I collude with him, and they all fell into pieces. What should we do?"
Dong Chao said: "I just tell the difference, isn't it good?"
Xue Badao: "Distinguish birds? There are at least thirty or fifty places, 1,800, and all of them are seen. If you are interested, there will be more than a thousand helpers in the capital? Just spreading around, the Grand Marshal is willing to protect him. How can he be suspicious? Teach a few more people to pretend to be you and me, and set a fire in the important places, and you will not be able to argue with them!"
When Zhao Chu left the brigade and escorted Madam Lin to the south, Dong Chao scolded: "Put this thief, you can teach the strong man along the way, chop it into a steamed bun stuffing, swallow it whole, and you can't relieve your hatred!"
However, when Zhao Chu was there, he didn't care about him. How could Qiongying be willing to go there? He walked along the way, only taught some men to greet him, walked quickly, carried the luggage package, and walked slowly, and covered the shackles and slapped them all. He took the long stick and beat them all around, saying that passers-by said that two people were compatible, so they couldn't relieve their hatred, so they had to be fast again.
After a while, every night, the two of them thought of the many methods of escorting the prisoner, but they did not dare to act without any action, and they held grudges in their hearts, and they all said, "As the saying goes, there is no airtight wall. Even if he calculates well, he can see the flaws when he finds an opportunity. At least he can tell the difference, and he will definitely crush the bones and ashes to relieve his hatred!"
These two men who taught the dead grass to make fun of the old grass all day long. When they arrived in Jinan Prefecture, they were too thin to be too old. They forced them to swallow the dry food for three or five people all day long with fat and greasy meat. They kept them for a few days. Although the dough was yellow, the circle of the body had already been highlighted.
When Qiongying saw this, she felt very unhappy again and said, "Before leaving, Dalang ordered these two beasts, he would frame Teacher Lin for thousands of times and plot against him, how could he worship him like this?"
The men had many other means to use their own skills from the three mountains and five mountains. Dong Xue and the other two felt that the most joyful thing in their lives was this. They just waited for the dawn to rush forward, and they were torture for another day, and they could not live or die, so they had to endure it.
The flowers bloom at both ends and each branch is reflected. Along the way, we have reached Qingzhou without any danger. When the scouts in front of us are spreading, there are passers-by, and four mountains hold the doors to the go, and heroes often go down the mountain to rob. After all, why did Qiongying make a mistake? Let's not say it for now.
Just talking about Zhao Chu, he drove the car away from Enzhou. It was snowing again. It was not very tight. The road was very wide and it was just right to go.
Less than half a day after leaving, Lady Lin sighed in the car: "When the coach left, they were escorted by these two men. Seeing that he was fierce and evil, he was also divided by the Taiwei Mansion. Poor coach, I don't know how much suffering he suffered."
Jin'er and Zhao Chu became familiar with each other, so they complained, "What should I keep these two thieves? They can't forget him if they eat and drink all day long. They will kill them early and fall clean."
Zhao Chu smiled and said, "Teacher Lin was a companion to Cangzhou. He suffered hardships along the way, but with Senior Brother Zhishen, he was taken care of by all means. I am afraid that my sister-in-law will regret falling into the grass early and not being able to make her innocent now."
Lady Lin sighed: "In this world, those who steal the country are the princes, and those who steal the hook are punished. If it is good, who can teach innocent people to be innocent? They can only survive. Whether they are an official or a thief, they are all good."
He asked him again: "Since Dalang is too old, why not go to the Liangshan Lake? The coach must be very considerate and not afraid of attacks by the officers and soldiers, and also has room for advance and retreat."
Zhao Chu said: "It's not that I refuse, but I can't. Liangshanpo is indeed a good place. I heard it earlier and I yearn for it. However, there is also legend in the world that the leader of the country is called Wang Lun, a white-clothed scholar, is very not a hero, and cannot tolerate anyone. Teacher Lin is also in aggrieved to go there. If I go there too, the guy will not be at ease day and night. Once there is no place to go, it will inevitably be incompatible with him. It's so difficult for the teacher to be a human being."
Along the way, I got off Bozhou and went southwest from Liaocheng County. The official road changed, crossed several hills, and stepped onto the land of Yanggu County. There was a Ping'an Town next to the official road. It was quite prosperous and there were endless merchants. It was snowy or rushed back to the New Year, and I was in a hurry.
Zhao Chu held the car and asked people. He saw that it was still early, so he wanted to go to Yanggu County to rest.
The local old man saw that he was very enthusiastic and was very heroic, so he advised: "If a hero wants to go east, there is a group of merchants, you can go on the same route or on your own. If you want to go south and west, you must rest in this town for half a day, wait for dawn and hunters on the mountain to find out the road conditions before you can get off."
Zhao Chu asked me what happened. The old man sighed, "The guest looked like he came from another place, but he didn't know Yanggu County. A few days ago, the granary in front was called Jingyanggang, which was very easy to walk. One day, a big white-eyed worm broke out and injured many guests by blocking the road. Some of them had a noble status. They were also sent to the outside as soon as possible. The prefecture issued a document. The county magistrate scolded him, but he couldn't take the big worm. He had to post a notice and recruited heroes to capture and shoot him. At the same time, he passed by Jingyanggang, and he had to join forces before he could go there. He looked at the heroes with a good body, just spend some money and stay for one night, and don't lose his life."
Zhao Chu was surprised that he knew that the big insect was there, so Wu Song had never returned home. He thought to himself, "I don't know what my methods must be with Wu Erlang? Can I beat the tiger to death?"
Only in Daming Mansion, I was able to compete with Lu Junyi and taught Liang Caizhi to be scheming. He was just showing off his power, which was not worth it. So I went to ask Lady Lin and said, "I just said that there was a Jingyanggang in front of me, and a big worm blocked the road and hurt people. I saw that it was getting late, so I just rushed to the road?"
Madam Lin had a heart for coach Lin, and only hoped to be by his side early. He only heard that there were big insects and did not dare to teach Zhao Chu to take risks. He hurriedly said, "Da Lang should not show off. I think that beast is extremely powerful and is in the mountains and forests. How can I be stronger than it? It is better to just rest for a while and wait for tomorrow to form a team, and it will not be too late."
Jin'er smiled and said, "There is a big insect. The official article clearly states that if it is cut off, there will be many benefits. Zhao Dalang has all his skills, so why not eliminate harm for the people?"
The old man shook his head while listening, and said, "My little lady is very unaware of things. Human resources are always poor. How can that big worm compare? Such a hero who has a useful body, why bother with the big worm?"
He came to advise Zhao Chu again and said, "Don't show off your strength. In the past, there were also famous heroes with a range of hundreds of miles. They were greedy for the government and rewarded 100 taels of silver. They went to the mountains in a group and never returned. Since ancient times, the tigers were only in their words. The old man had been fifty or sixty years, but no one had seen him."
Zhao Chu said: "Then I'll worry, can there be a clean inn in the town?"
The old man smiled and said, "It's not that the old man boasted that his inn is small, but his inn is the most useful one. It's just that he has not been famous for less than a few days since his new opening. However, it's the old man's family, and he is a man of duty, so he can ask questions in the town."
Jin'er smiled and said, "It was a store owner. Is there really a big insect on Jingyanggang?"
The old man was embarrassed and said, "I have it myself, and there are government notices in the store. If you don't believe it, you can go and see it."
Zhao Chu turned around and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you calculating?"
Through the curtain, Lady Lin said, "I just look at Dalang's arrangements, and I will teach Dalang to worry all the way."
Zhao Chu smiled and said, "Although I have never met the teacher, I have been in contact with you for a long time, so I have trouble saying anything." Then he asked the old man to lead the way. The old man led the car and said, "It's a guest's family, but he didn't want to escort him, so he admired him."
Speaking briefly, the old man said angrily: "It is a hero who is a character, and the old man is not afraid of talking too much - how can that big worm be accomplished? Even Grandpa of the Mountain God, the officials are not afraid of filial piety, and the villagers say something good in front of him, don't say a big worm, even if it is ten or eight, they must be taken back. There are also guests who often go to Jingyanggang and pay some silver and money, afraid that there will be no three or five hundred taels. In the government, there are also three hundred taels. How can there not be any real heroes? There are countless heroes in Yanggu, not afraid of death, but only poverty. The officials and men can indeed distribute the rewards in full. Don't talk about the men in the world, and the hunters have long sacrificed their lives to steal the big worm."
Zhao Chu asked him: "Do you know where the deducted silver rewards have gone?"
The old man said, "What can we do? It's just to respect the superiors, collect some treasures, and seek officials. There is only one flower and stone gang, and I don't know how many innocent families are forced to death. Now we want to teach heroes to sacrifice their lives in the mountains, and we also need to exploit them."
The old man shook his head and sighed, leading Zhao Chu to the inn, consciously saying something wrong, and never asked for it. He arranged for the waiter to stay and ordered someone to get water and hand over tea, but he refused to come forward.
In the evening, when we were closed, there were a large number of people outside, including three or five hundred soldiers, all of whom were carrying loads, and the travelers were holding the middle, with their shoulders, and they were noisy and staying in the inn in front of the town.
Zhao Chu didn't know, so he asked the pawn hall, "Depending on where he came from, it's also the Yanggu side, how can he do it?"
The waiter was very young and glared and said, "Don't blame the shop owner for the guest. He only saw that he could leave, but no three or five hundred people were seen? They were all generals in the wing army, gathered together, and there were bows, arrows, swords and guns. Don't talk about big insects. Even those who cut the path must not dare to rob. How can the guest be alone compare to him?"
Zhao Chu said: "It's not that the shopkeeper is blamed, but I really don't know what the army is carrying when this army is rushing to the middle of the road?"
The waiter said: "What can you do? The officials in the prefectures dare to neglect the holidays? That is, in Yanggu County, the county magistrate and a few wealthy families gathered a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to send gifts to the mansion."
Zhao Chu also knew it and said inexplicably: "Those who are in charge of the military affairs of Yunzhou should be in the government office. After Yanggu goes east, why go to Ping'an Town? Isn't it a torment to be fooled?"
The waiter smiled and said, "How can the guests know that there are now a group of heroes in Yunzhou, gathering in Liangshanpo, and robbing the houses and houses. It's not lively. Those who are officials just wait for their own people to be straight and straight, so how dare they provoke him? But they don't know how powerful the minister of the Daming Mansion was in the five or six months. They also taught the heroes to rob the gang?"
Zhao Chu Fang realized that it was indeed close to the water pool, and his heart was moving.
After a few sounds of support from the hall, he ordered him to send the hot soup and promised some silver rewards. The lantern of the hall seemed to be turning around to serve.
When it was dark, the old man was so exquisite that he pulled many merchants going west and only rested in the store. When it came to snow at night, he talked around the fire. He was so happy. Seeing that Lady Lin and Jin'er had turned off the lights, Zhao Chu mixed in and listened to the merchants talking, but it was getting late.
They said goodbye to each other, and saw the late guests. They gave the tables and chairs to have a drink. They were just waiting to go back to the house. They heard the shopkeeper outside's flattery. They all said that whether it was this or that, a splash came in from the cotton curtain roll.
Zhao Chu looked sharp-eyed and looked at the yard with more than a dozen cars and horses. He was running errands and got the waiter in the store, busy.
When I looked at this guy who was scattering in, I first showed off a good-faced businessman. He was wearing a gorgeous dress, tall, white and pretty face, and looked very handsome. He hooked up his elegance eyes, drew two scimitar eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and was very rich.
Someone among the guests shouted "Good" and called out a good person.
The man was under 20 or 30 years old. He smiled and bowed his hand to answer the gift. He was very kind, but he did not lose his identity. He sat on the tables and chairs freely. He taught him to come with his specialty wine and food. He knew him and flattered him from afar.
Zhao Chu stood in the front and saw clearly that this man was a medicinal material merchant. He heard that he was called Ximen again. He was surprised and asked the runner-up, saying, "Who is this official, who is here?"
The person who ran the hall received a lot of silver rewards and flattered him, saying, "The guest didn't know him? A famous figure in Yanggu is very good, with eighty-point martial arts, and richness. A long time ago, the military soldiers had a great gift. Everyone in Yanggu called him a great official, and the county lord was a guest. There was a name that he dared not mention, and the other surnamed Ximen Banzi was celebrated. He was very satisfied. Because he went to Liaocheng County to get his medicinal materials a few days ago, and the shop next to him was full, so he rested in the small shop. I thought he was very happy, so I came again."
Zhao Chu knew it was him, so he had no intention of staying. He turned around and wanted to walk inside. Another person shouted outside: "It's snowing heavily. The store owner has a room. You only need to stay for one night and go to the city tomorrow."
The shopkeeper was very embarrassed and said, "There are at least a dozen people in the customer group. There are also guest rooms in the shop, but the best ones are not enough."
The cotton curtain was lifted up, and a few people came in. Three young heroes, holding swords and guns in their hands, did not hide. One of them spoke to the shopkeeper and said, "The inns in this town are full. It is rare for you to stay here. If you don't have less, you will have less. If you live in one room, you can live in another room, but if you have an open one, you will pay you three times the money for the shop."
Then one of them untied the felt tent, shook off the snowflakes on his shoulder, took off the felt hat, and leaned against the wall with a rotten silver spear, and said, "What a loud sound. When you arrive at Yanggu, it will snow. If you want to go back to the village for the next three or five days?"
This man looks like a double-ten person, very honest and dressed in a dress, and looks like a wealthy body, but he looks like a hero. The one at his hand is seventy-sixth of a similar person to him, but he is a little older and advised: "My third brother is so impatient. He is a member of Daming Mansion. He has never thought about returning to the village before the New Year, so why bother to worry?"
The one who agreed to the shopkeeper stayed in, lifted the felt tent, and was in his thirties, and had three black beards. He was very majestic. He thought it was the leader of the three. He smiled and said, "I'm afraid that my third brother would go back urgently. He didn't miss the village, but there was a younger brother and sister who had not passed the door. I missed him so much for a few months."
The third brother turned red. When he was looking for a table and chair, Ximen Qing stood up on the side and bowed and smiled: "Looking at the three of them, I have a guess in my mind, why not sit together and drink a cup to drive away the cold."
The three of them saw him and recognized him. They refused because of the great refusal. They could not resist Ximen Qing's enthusiasm and sat down together, saying, "I didn't know that I met a high-ranking official here."
Ximen Qing ordered the shop to come with the best food and drinks, and smiled and said, "Although I am a businessman, I am quite good at fists and feet. I only look at three of them. I am very handsome and from Yanggu County, I am just invited."
This time, there is a saying, it was a business that was a gift for people all the way. In the town of Fengxue, the powerful people were in trouble. There was a saying: It was famous on snowy nights, and the wind was frozen, and the guns and swords were cold in the bonfire; the strong dragon met the tiger sitting on the ground, and passers-by talked about Liangshan for thousands of years.
After all, who is the person coming, let’s see what’s going on next time.
Chapter completed!
