Outside Jiangling City, several woodcutters were cutting down trees in the woods outside Jiangling City.

"I said Lao Li! Did your second boy get married? "A few lumberjacks are tired, so they just stopped and got together for safety. After all, there are many tigers, wolf, insects and leopards in the woods. There are more people, and there are more familiarity with each other and can chat.

"No, no!" Old Li stopped the axe in his hand and shook his head.

"Not yet? It's already twenty or four, I've been married again. There is a big girl from the village in the head of our village. Today it's 28 years old. Old Li, you can go and find your second son!" The fellow villager next to him said to Old Li.

"I want to go too, but I don't have the money!" Old Li's face became dim. The rich have the troubles of the rich, and the poor have the irritability of the poor. Old Li's irritability was that he gave birth to two sons and the eldest son got married, but the younger son couldn't settle it for a long time, because the family had no money.

All the money was used for the eldest son's marriage and marriage, and there was still some money to get married for the younger son. This was why the younger son was now twenty or four years old. The older son may be able to make a living.

"If you don't have money to do this, would you let your youngest son play Guangguang Hall for the rest of his life?" asked another fellow villager next to him.

"Oh, take one step at a time, maybe you can meet a noble person to give us a little!" Old Li smiled self-deprecatingly. This is completely an optimistic and excessive attitude. A noble person? How many people in this world can meet a noble person.

Just as a group of people were chatting, several humanoid creatures covered in darkness suddenly emerged from the woods.

"Monster. Monster. Run. Run!" Several woodcutters immediately became frightened when they saw these dark monsters in human hearts. They started to scream, and left the firewood and wood and ran away.

"Monster?" Old Li was stunned for a moment.

"Old Li runs quickly! There are monsters, there are monsters!" The fellow villagers there still had a conscience and did not forget to remind Lao Li, but Lao Li is old and has no longer flexible. He came out to cut wood because he gave him an extra ration for his family. How could he escape those middle-aged or young men?

When Lao Li was about to set off, several human monsters with dark bodies ran to Lao Li.

"Ghost. Ghost!" Old Li was also scared. He was about to get over. Although he was in the woods, he would fall down very hard. Seeing that Old Li was about to fall down, the human-shaped monsters on the other side hurried forward to support Old Li to prevent Old Li from falling down.

"Ghost, ghost!" Old Li slowly woke up. Seeing the "monsters" so close to him, he was so scared that he fainted again, but was stopped by several voices.

"Old, old man. We are not ghosts or monsters. Old man, look carefully, we are humans. They are humans!" These human-shaped monsters were about to approach Lao Li's head, but Lao Li's head rolled his eyes and then they remembered that the mud on their faces and the dirt on their bodies had not been cleaned. One of them wiped his face a few times with the cloth inside his body, and then he showed a human-like face. "Old man, you are not afraid now!" The human-shaped monster smiled and showed his yellow teeth.

"You, are you humans?" Old Li asked to these monsters.

"yes!"

"Then how could you come out of there?" Old Li didn't understand. In fact, few people came back in this forest. Most of the woods were cut down in a timber farm near Jiangling, but taxes were required there, so Old Li and others came here. The closest place here is Huarong Road. What is Huarong Road? For outsiders, it is called Huarong Road, and for Jiangling locals, the name of Huarong Road is Ghost Cave.

Because basically no one who entered Huarong Road came out. Even if there were a big life, it would have died in a few days after half of its life came out. If it weren't for the good wood here, he wouldn't have come.

"We came out of Huarong Road!" said the monster. Yes, these people were covered in black and black, and they were all with a man who fell into the mud. The Yangzhou navy led by Lu Xun. After going through a lot of hardships, they finally came out of Huarong Road. The team of two thousand people was now less than 1,500 people left, and there were still 500 people left in Huarong Road forever.

When they left Huarong Road, there were large forests, and it was difficult to find the direction, so they wanted to find someone to guide them on the way to Jiangling. Lao Li and his team were lucky and ran into it.

"General, General, we found a woodcutter! He seemed to know how to get to Jiangling." In order to hide in the woods, Lu Xun and others were in the woods, waiting for the people who went out to investigate to come back. After a long time, someone finally found out that Ren Yan brought a woodcutter back.

"Come on your behalf!" Lu Xun was very happy. They finally walked out of Huarong Road, so they naturally had to find a local person to guide them on the road to Jiangling. Although Wu Mi was from Jiangling, he did not go to Jiangling from the exit of Huarong Road, so it was difficult to find the way. Now that it is much easier to have such a woodcutter.

"Yes!" Soon, Old Li was brought to Lu Xun.

"Old man!" Lu Xun walked up, and Old Li was subconsciously scared. Fortunately, even though Lu Xun's face was a little dirty, it was still very pretty, which made people feel very comfortable to see. So he didn't call him a ghost.

"Old man, don't be afraid, we just want to ask where this place is!" Lu Xun said to Lao Li.

Only then did Old Li look over. There were many people in the woods, all wearing armor. They should be soldiers and horses. This young man should be the leader. "This general, this is the territory of Jiangling!" Old Li said to Lu Xun.

"Jiangling?" As soon as Lu Xun heard these two words, a gleam broke out in his eyes. That's great. Isn't the place he is going to Jiangling?

"How far is this place from Jiangling City?" Lu Xun continued to ask the old man.

"It's about forty miles!" Old Li said to Lu Xun.

"Forty miles?" Lu Xun frowned. Forty miles said, "Forty miles said, "It's not too far away," said, "It's only a day's time to get close. However, Lu Xun and the others are exhausted, so they need to rest. Even if they have the energy, you run outside Jiangling City in one breath and you don't have the energy to attack the city, but if you take a rest, you might have been discovered by the Jiangling defenders long ago.

The reason why Lu Xun entered Huarong Road and went to Jiangling City with Wu Mi was not that Lu Xun was confident that he could defeat the defenders of Jiangling City with two thousand soldiers. Jiangling City must have nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses, and even if he had 10,000 pigs leaning against the city wall, Lu Xun might not be able to beat him.

The reason why Lu Xun entered Huarong Dao with Wu Mi was to catch him off guard by raiding Jiangling City. Once the city gate was taken down, then all the two thousand elite soldiers under Lu Xun could be used.

But the exit of Huarong Road here is forty miles away from Jiangling City. If you run all the way, will you still have the strength to fight?

"Old man, do you have some shortcuts?" Lu Xun asked again.

"General, are you going to Jiangling City?" Old Li is not a fool, Jiangling has been peaceful for a long time. And Old Li has been a soldier once. Under General Cai's command, he fought in Nanyang, but the troops were disbanded. Old Li returned to Jiangling. Looking at the armor and clothes worn by these soldiers, it was obvious that they were not Jiangling's soldiers. Although they had a Jingzhou dialect, Old Li also knew where Jiangling's soldiers were going out in the past few days.

What's more, at the exit of Huarong Road, when you see them covered in mud, you know that they have just come out of the flower passage.

"Yes, we are going to Jiangling City!" Lu Xun nodded.

"General, what's the matter with you going to Jiangling City?" Old Li asked again when he was curious.

"You old man is very long-winded. Our general asks you something. If you don't answer, where will the question come from?" The general next to him said to Lao Li when he was dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Old Li nodded quickly. You must know that he is in the hands of others. Old Li naturally has the insight of being able to come back alive on the battlefield.

"Old man, we are going to Jiangling. That's the one who is looking for old friends. This is the eldest lady of your Wu family in Jiangling City. We are going back this time to escort the young lady to visit relatives!" Lu Xun said to Lao Litou.

"Jiangling Wu family? Is it that Mr. Wu family?" Many people know about the great things of Jiangling Wu family. Mr. Wu's family has been in Jiangling for several generations and anyone who is a Jiangling person knows it.

"Yes, yes!" Lu Xun called Wu Mi over. Wu Mi used some streams in the woods to slightly clean up his beautiful face, making Old Li feel like a fairy in the painting. In addition, Wu Mi spoke in Jiangling dialect, Old Li believed it.

If someone else had changed, he might not have believed in Lu Xun's visits to relatives so much, because the Wu family was destroyed in Jiangling City, which was very popular. Although Lao Li was from Jiangling, his house was not in Jiangling, but in a remote village far away from Jiangling. It is rare to go to Jiangling City several times a year. In this era when going out, it is natural that it is unclear.

"There are some shortcuts to Jiangling! It's just that someone needs guidance, but the old man has to cut wood and go back and sell it for money when entering!" Old Li was a little embarrassed. He had to take these wood back and sell it for money to ensure that his family could be able to get rid of the pot in the next half month, otherwise, there would be no food in the past half month.

"No delay, no delay, look at me!" Lu Xun waved his hand and walked over from behind. Lu Xun took a golden leaf from his guard and handed it over.

"Old man, as long as you take us on that path, this golden leaf will be yours!" Lu Xun bewitched at Lao Li's head.

Old Li was shocked when he saw the golden leaf. The people of Pingming had never seen any gold, all of which were copper coins, so Old Li shook his hand and said, "It's not possible to use it!"

"Make!" Lu Xun said to Lao Li's head, "As long as you take us along the path to Jiangling, this golden leaf will be compensated!"

"There are too many, too many!" Old Li was still shaking his head. The simple and kindness of the ancients was reflected in Old Li. If it were now, if you were not afraid of you not giving, you were afraid of giving less. If you give too much, you would be very happy. It would be nice if you don't criticize you!

The ancients were different. Basically, they were willing to help the way, but Old Li had no choice. If he didn't work hard to cut firewood, their family might not have enough food for half a month. There was a second son of twenty or four in the family, and he had a very good appetite. As the saying goes, this is how I came from when I was old and I was dying.

"Not many! Hold the old man, isn't there a second boy in your family who has not yet married yet? Take these back and talk to him about a good marriage, so that you can enjoy the old man comfortably and comfortably!" Lu Xun continued to say to Lao Li. The words of these woodcutters were heard before.

"My second boy!" Old Li was mentioned to their second boy by Lu Xun. The old Li was moved to see Jin Yezi in front of him. With this golden leaf, their second boy could really get a marriage, so that he could feel at ease. Otherwise, he would not feel good when he looked at his son Guangguangtang all day long, but who made their family barely do nothing.

"Thank you, General!" Old Li still stretched out his hand and took the golden leaf and put him in his arms.

"Oh!" Lu Xun laughed, "Old man, I'll bother you!"

"No trouble, no trouble!" Lao Li took the money from others and naturally had to do things for them. Lao Li stood up and took Lu Xun and others to run towards a small path.

...

"Chenming, are you wrong or right to ask me to surrender to the second young master?" Dong Zhi asked his aide next to him. Dong Zhi has been struggling these days because he didn't know whether he should surrender to the second young master Liu Pan.

In the past, Dong Zhi was very happy with Liu Pan's hookup, because in Jiangling, the Dong family and the Wu family were in the same power. Although Dong Zhi was the prefect of Jiangling, the power of the Dong family was not as powerful as the Wu family. That was because the Wu family and the Huang family were related, so Dong Zhi had no choice but to deal with the Wu family. With Liu Pan's backstage, it would be different, at least in the court, Dong Zhi was considered a person.

I originally thought of suppressing the Wu family a little, but who knew that the second young master would be so cruel to attack and directly confiscate the family and destroy the clan. Hundreds of people from the Wu family were killed as soon as they were killed.

Liu Pan's house did take revenge on the Huang family, which also scared him Dong Zhi.

"Sir, do you have any other choice?" the aide next to him asked Dong Zhi.

‘Yes! Do I have any other choice?” Dong Zhi also smiled bitterly. After the Wu family was destroyed, Dong Zhi was branded as Liu Pan. He basically couldn’t wash it off. He either stood with Liu Pan to the end or was destroyed by others. If it weren’t for Liu Pan, the Huang family would have taken action against him.
