Chapter 134 Shoe Repair Old Craftsman
In fact, where there is still a road, there is already a swamp on the marching map.

Not to mention setting up defenses, but running away, the only way to escape, Zhao Yuan has been sending people to dig a hole for water these days, and it is about to be turned into a big river by the continuous heavy rain...

Now, reinforcements have not arrived, food and grass are exhausted, and people's hearts are mutiny.The people in the city couldn't sit still, and there were several large-scale disturbances in succession last night.

After a night of torment in the rainstorm, the generals who followed Zhao Yu were exhausted, and they didn't want to care about the lives of these people anymore, so they begged Zhao Yu to abandon the city.

Although Zhao Xi didn't directly refuse, his attitude was already very clear. From the beginning to the end, he was staring at the marching map that had been read badly, and pretended to be deaf and dumb to their words.

Yuan Tianqing had no choice but to turn to He Chuanjiang again for help.

He Chuanjiang ignored him and looked at the marching map indifferently.

Yuan Tianqing was furious, he clasped his fists in anger, and shouted angrily: "This subordinate will leave!"

Before Zhao Yuan could speak, he turned and left.

Angrily stepping over the threshold of the lobby, a guard ran towards him, saluted him, and hurried into the lobby: "Report! General, an old man came down from Nancheng, who claimed to be an old shoe repairer. This time, he came here to help us. , Get out of trouble!"

Zhao Xi paused his pen, raised his head and said, "Who?!"

Yuan Tianqing raised his eyebrows in surprise, and strode back: "The one who repaired shoes at Tongdu?"

After finishing speaking, he looked up at He Chuanjiang.

The military adviser who had been silent for a whole day finally came to his senses, his eyes became brighter, and he looked straight at the guard.

"Yes!" the guard replied, "General, he is still waiting outside."

Everyone looked at Zhao Xuan.

On the contrary, Zhao Xi paused, and looked at He Chuanjiang beside him: "What do you think, teacher?"

"Are you afraid that he is a fake?" He Chuanjiang asked back.

Zhao Xuan frowned, and said, "It's not like that, those people don't need to do anything extra."

He Chuanjiang nodded: "Even if the rebels want to send someone here to find out our reality, and send a secret signal to inform them to attack the city, they may not be able to bear the heavy rain."

"Could it be that someone who has some knowledge and just heard the rumors about this old shoe repairer came here to cheat on food and drink?" Zhu Pei asked beside him.

Zhao Xuan put down his pen, stood up straight and said, "It's a man or a god, you have to come to your face to know."

"I'm going to ask for it," He Chuanjiang said with a smile, "If he's not, we won't suffer, and if he is, he will definitely be able to help us."

………………

It was already dark.

Standing outside the city gate was a thin and straight figure, leaning on crutches, with a dilapidated bamboo hat, and the rainwater submerged his straw sandals, which had reached his knees and legs.

He has been waiting here for half an hour, and now his back is facing the city gate, looking up at the gray distant mountains.

"Old man!" A cry sounded from afar.

Come and turn around.

In the torrential rain, Zhao Yu ran over in person, stood on the city wall and looked down.

The visitor laughed and shouted, "General Zhao, please keep me waiting!"

There is water inside and outside the city gate, and the resistance is great. It is very difficult to open the city gate.

Several city gate guards threw down a large sturdy bamboo basket, and Zhao Zi's guards shouted: "Old man, I have wronged you first!"

The person who came didn't care, smiled and waded through the water.

Being pulled up from the bamboo basket, Zhao Xuan walked over with a military adviser and a few guards, and said respectfully, "Sir."

A guard with an umbrella hurried over and covered the head of the visitor.

The visitor shook the rain off his body and said with a smile, "It's raining too much, and I don't know when it will stop."

"Sir," He Chuanjiang stepped forward and said directly, "Sir, are you really a veteran shoe repairer?"

"Hahaha!" The visitor laughed loudly and looked at him, "Look at your outfit, you should be the military adviser here. There are big puddles of hundreds of meters long one after another three miles outside Peifeng City, but you have to dig of?"

He Chuanjiang paused and did not speak.

"I ordered the digging," said Zhao Yuan, with a less respectful expression on his face than before, "Do you have any advice, sir?"

"Why dig those?"

Zhao Xi smiled, and pressed his right palm on the saber on his waist habitually, and said: "It seems that the master passed by that place, so did the master see a big pit in it, full of corpses? "

"Have you ever seen them, they are all refugees?"

"A corpse of 320, I was going to burn it up, but unexpectedly there was a sudden heavy rain a few days ago. I immediately asked people to fill the soil back, but it was too late, the wind and rain were too strong, and the thunder It’s too big, and it’s dark, and many of my soldiers slipped into the pit, and almost couldn’t climb up. So I can only go back temporarily, and go to the side to dig the pit the next day.”

The visitor nodded, and then asked in doubt: "Then you dig a hole again?"

"It has been raining all night, and the pit is full of water. If I don't dig a pit to bring in the water, then let the water in the pit overflow?" Zhao Xuan said coldly.

The person who came laughed: "Then why didn't the general dig a canal, but a pit? Wouldn't it be better to dig a canal to divert the water away? You have been digging a pit to divert the water in the heavy rain these days, and there will be no more soldiers." Fall into the pit?"

Zhao Xi was almost impatient, and frowned: "Dig a canal to lead it away, where to lead it, lead it to the lake? After soaking the water of more than 2000 corpses overnight, after it is diverted into the lake, do you dare to drink it? Do you dare to use it?" Why? Why should I burn these corpses, isn’t I afraid of the epidemic?”

Seeing that someone was about to ask another question, He Chuanjiang said, "Sir, you haven't said anything yet."

"What did you say?" The visitor looked at He Chuanjiang.

"You haven't said whether you are a veteran shoe repairer in Tongdu."

The visitor waved his hand and said with a smile: "I chose this nickname at will because I was angry with my pretentious brother. My surname is Ji, and my single name is Hong. You can call me whatever you want, but it's just a title."

As he said that, he took a step forward and walked towards the stone steps going down the tower ahead with a stick.

Zhao Xuan's face was ugly, and he looked at his military adviser.

He Chuanjiang returned him a comforting look, and signaled him to restrain his temper, and then followed the person.

Although it is not certain that it is the old shoe repairman, at least it can be seen that this person is not an ordinary person.

Ordinary people would dare to chatter and ask so many questions in front of Zhao Yuan. After all, Zhao Yuan was a general, and as a general, he had blood on his hands, and the murderous look in his eyes was condensed from blood and bones.

After He Chuanjiang followed, he said casually, "It turns out that Mister still has senior brothers."

"Heh, speaking of my senior brother, you should all have heard of his name." The visitor laughed.

He Chuanjiang wanted to see his face, but it was too dark now, and he was hiding under the bamboo hat, and the sight was partially covered by the heavy rain, so it was really hard to see clearly.

"Oh?" He Chuanjiang said, "May I ask who is your brother? What is his name?"

The visitor smiled again, and said: "He likes to bluff and deceive all these years, so he has gained a better reputation. He calls himself Qingzhou Shenglao."

He Chuanjiang nodded. He had indeed heard of it, but he had never been in contact with it, nor had a deeper understanding. He only knew that the medical skills seemed to be good.For a counselor like him, on the contrary, he felt that the veteran shoe repairer in front of him was the more powerful one.

"Oh," He Chuanjiang said casually, "Qingzhou Shenglao."

　ε=(ο｀*))) Well, it’s been half a year, time, slow down.Everyone in Amway has a song, I don’t know if you have heard it, I am crazy about the song-the wind has blown my ears, I hope everyone will always be happy and carefree.
