Chapter 503: The customs of the people are truly simple
Gu Liubai did not refuse and agreed immediately.
Xue Jingxian walked to the Hegang and said something to the feathered archers. Gu Liubai listened quietly. The county magistrate arranged for people to be on duty in three periods, and then arranged before sunrise, the two of them headed towards the east official road to see if they could guard the sergeants passing by.
According to the news he had received before, Han Yumo, the city gate captain of Purun County, escorted some families of prominent families to Qinghua for refuge, and should have returned on this day. Han Yumo was his friend, so he said that he had something to ask him to come here to make a revenge.
"This person is such a good person. I really want someone to take you back to my hometown." Although Chen Ruoruo is not a serious practitioner, he even needs Gu Liubai to teach him to activate true qi and promote blood circulation. However, even the eighth grade he picked up is still eighth grade. She eavesdropped clearly, and she couldn't help but tease Gu Liubai with a secret smile, "Young Master Liang, do you want to eat your aunt's milk tonight?"
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "I haven't taken a shower these two days, I'm afraid there is a smell of sweat."
"My sweat is fragrant." Chen Ruoruo said unconvincedly, and then smiled, "I see that County Magistrate Xue is both enthusiastic and talented. Why don't I find him later and ask him to help you think of a solution to see how you can marry this aunt naturally after you return to Changxing Town."
Gu Liubai was also happy, "Then let it go, I think he is very busy with official business."
"You are a person who speaks nonsense and talks so casually, but he is such a smart person who believes it." Chen Ruoruo thought of some nonsense that this person had just said, and he couldn't help laughing out loud again.
Gu Liubai whispered, "This person observed carefully and could see that our relationship was unusual. This statement follows his thoughts, and it is easy for him to believe it."
At this time, Xue Jingxian had already come back after giving the explanation. Seeing Gu Liubai and Shen Ruoruo talking and laughing, he shook his head unconsciously, feeling that although the middle-aged woman was mediocre and much older than Liang Ning, the two really looked like each other.
Nothing happened overnight.
In the early morning, the two people he sent out indeed led more than a dozen cavalrymen over.
The head lieutenant was full of dust on his face, but he was energetic. Although he looked ordinary and had dark skin, he had a masculinity on his face. Seeing Xue Jingxian from afar, the man happily raised his whip and shook it, saying hello, "Old Xue! I didn't expect to meet him here."
"This is my friend Han Yumo. He was originally a scholar like you, but later he couldn't find a way out and joined the army. Now he can support some people." Xue Jingxian quickly introduced to Gu Liubai. He was an old friend of Han Yumo. When he saw Han Yumo's figure, the corners of his mouth had already risen, and the haze of the chaos in front of him disappeared in an instant.
"I went to find you once, but I wasted it, but I happened to know your whereabouts."
Xue Jingxian smiled and went up to meet him, and introduced Gu Liubai's group, and then asked directly whether Han Yumo could send them along the way.
Birds of a feather flock together.
What kind of people make and what kind of friends.
When Han Yumo heard Xue Jingxian's words, he burst into laughter and said, "Old Xue, what do you mean? Can you send them along the way? If you don't go along, can you send them over the way?"
Xue Jingxian smiled and said, "You guy, I'm just worried that it will hinder your military affairs."
"What are our military affairs now?" Han Yumo sneered, "Old Xue, I am the city gate lieutenant of Purun County. What is my duty? I am responsible for the city gate defense of the county, and at most assist the Zhonglei school lieutenant in training troops. What am I running around outside now? These prominent families in Fufeng County were afraid that their families would be implicated by the war, so they asked us to escort to other counties. Now we have become the escorts of these men. What kind of military affairs is this? I send those people to, and I will send them back. How can you owe me a favor? "
Xue Jingxian laughed and scolded, "I owe you nothing. Then Mr. Liang and the others, I'll ask you."
Han Yumo looked at Gu Liubai and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, if I, Han, can still stand, I will never harm them."
Xue Jingxian nodded and saluted him seriously. When Han Yumo waved his hand and told his brother not to do this, he solemnly said, "Remember not to meddle in other people's business. When the war is in chaos, many people are beasts, you have to hold back. People like us are just ants in this chaotic world. At least they can help a few more people when they are alive."
"I know, I know." Han Yumo looked at Xue Jingxian and frowned, "You guy, you are exactly the same as what my mother in my family said."
Xue Jingxian didn't say much. Seeing that Gu Liubai and others were ready, he asked Han Yumo to escort them on the road.
Han Yumo took Gu Liubai and his group to the official road. When he saw Gu Liubai's team, he was immediately happy. Especially when he looked at the three elders of the nameless temple, he couldn't help but quip: "Young Master Liang, are you taking these three old men? Are they serving you along the way, or are you serving them?"
Gu Liubai said seriously, "Person Han, don't underestimate my three teachers. They have practiced them when they were young, and they have a lot of strength in their hands. Ordinary strong men may not be able to beat them."
Fufeng is not far from Chang'an. Even if he is just a local lieutenant, Han Yumo's cultivation level is not low, and he is also a dignified fifth-grade cultivator.
But with his cultivation, he could not see the cultivation of the three elders of the nameless temple who were hiding their aura.
Gu Liubai said this, and he turned his head and happened to see Elder Tianshu sitting on the horse dozing off and almost falling off the horse. He was immediately happy and said, "That's not the case. After seeing the three of them, the ordinary strong man probably didn't dare to take action."
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "No need to have three. They just went up and stood in front of those arrogant people. Those arrogant people instantly spoke softly and even dared to lift their arms out."
Han Guimo laughed, "Mr. Liang, your method works on weekdays, but it's a little unworkable now. If you believe me, after you return to Changxing Town, you will persuade your family to increase the wall of the courtyard and thicken it, hire a few more guards, and if it doesn't work, use more money and ask him to clear the relationship with the county magistrate, and let him divide a few feathered archers under the commander of Xue County to show you the house. Also, it's best to hide the money and grain in the family in the house in ten places, and don't just hide it in your house. Whenever a soldier arrives at you, no matter which side, cooperate quickly and give them the food in the house. You also have to ask them if they can leave some food, so that they must not let them know that you have money and grain hidden in other places. If there are beautiful women, please send it away quickly. Of course, it's best to learn from those powerful and noble families and move to places where it is impossible to fight."
"How can I be their master? If they can give me more silver, can I come back at this time?" Gu Liubai sighed, "And our Liang family is not as good as those prominent families. We have no other business, so we rely on those fertile fields. Those who can be the master in the family can't bear the fields. But I thought about it. When I went back, I saw that the situation was not good, so I would find a way to take people to live in some nearby temples and Zen temples. At worst, I could steal some money from my family and find a small temple to repair it, and try to live in. It would not be like demolishing the temple in war, right?"
"This is a good idea." Han Yumo suddenly felt that Gu Liubai was good, and he had an indescribable cleverness and could chat with people. He now understood why Xue Jingxian asked him to escort this person.
Although this person can't find a way in Chang'an, if he uses the right place, he is also a good talent.
Now that the war is in chaos, Xue Jingxian's meaning is to let him get familiar with this person first, and perhaps let this young man do something with them in the future.
"You told me not to meddle in other people's business. I always love talents when I meet a young man on the way. You are just a county magistrate. I don't know how long you and us can live in this chaotic world."
Han Yumo thought that he had encountered such a chaotic world in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and he couldn't help but curse Zheng Zhu a few times, just be good at doing it. What should I do if I rebelled?
After walking for a while, he discussed with Gu Liubai, "We are going to Mei County. Our county magistrate has an older sister who has some shops there, and probably some valuable things. We want us to go over and help, but I don't know where to hide it or why. You just followed us in the past two days. Originally, you arrived at Huaiya Town and then turned to Song. Changxing Town was the closest, but the Wei River was not stable recently, so you simply walked with us to Jinqiu Town. Then we will send you to Jinqiu Ferry. After passing the ferry, we will go up to Changxing Town. There is no wilderness there, and there will be no trouble."
Gu Liubai was walking northwest anyway. He wanted to first figure out the general deployment of Zheng Zhu and other generals at this time and where the generals who were leading the way were the same for him. So he immediately agreed happily and said, "Person Han, you have a safe arrangement, just follow this route."
In the afternoon, a big town appeared in front of the official road, which was Huaiya Town that Han Yumo called.
Gu Liubai was still afraid that Han Qiumo would ask him about Huaiya Town, so he deliberately said casually, saying, "When I went to Chang'an before, I didn't take the road here. Although I have gone a little far away when I come back, I have seen a different scenery at least."
Han Yumo smiled and said, "Young Master Liang hasn't been to this Huaiya Town yet? There is a nickname called Haoren Town, and the people are simple."
As a result, just as he finished speaking, several people rushed out of the entrance of the town and pulled his reins, and said, "Twenty bronzes."
Han Yumo was stunned. Looking at the men wearing robes that did not look like soldiers and their official uniforms did not look like official uniforms, Han Yumo asked, "What are twenty bronzes?"
A man with a somewhat vicious face said, "Directing the defilement fee."
Han Yumo frowned slightly and said, "What does the cleanup fee mean?"
The man said coldly, "Where there will be feces left when the carriages pass by, they all need to be cleaned, so it is called the defilement fee."
Han Yumo sneered, "Who came up with the idea to collect this bronze slap?"
The man said arrogantly, "No matter who has the idea, twenty copper coins are alone, hurry up."
"Twenty bronzes are alone?" Han Yumo was stunned again, "Isn't it all?"
Chapter completed!
