I am a local lord on the road to escape

Chapter 274

"Bingzhou City was breached in half an hour?"

"How is it possible? In this little time, from the Outer Kingdom to the Inner City, and then to the City Lord's Mansion, even if you run non-stop, you won't be able to get there!"

"What are you saying about the eight-legged monster running across the city? The scouts must have been scared out of their wits, and they are so powerful!"

The staff and school lieutenants of Chenliu County's prefect's mansion, you talk to each other, and the voices of angrily questioning reveal the negative atmosphere of being strong outside but doing nothing.

Hu Luhou stopped it with a word: "Bingzhou City, it is indeed lost!"

That's right, no matter how much the siege method and the length of the siege time go against their cognition, and the state city, the result is lost!
General He Lai died in battle!

The City Lord's Mansion was smashed to pieces!

The soldiers of the He Lai tribe were all headed up, and the heads and corpses were buried in two separate pits, so that these soldiers could not be reincarnated after death!

Colonel Hu Lvjie suddenly said in grief and anger: "The scouts have one more word! Hu Lvba, who the general sent to Wangcheng before, were killed to sacrifice the flag before attacking the city!"

The staff immediately shouted: "This is a provocation to the Hulu tribe!"

Someone asked again: "The next step, will this force come to Chenliu County?"

boom!Hu Luhou hit the book case: "Soldiers come to block! If you are afraid of death, get out of Chenliu County as soon as possible!"

At dusk, when the city gate was about to close, Huluhou rode out and left Chenliu.Although he said that the soldiers were coming to stop him, he already had a bad feeling that if the mysterious and treacherous Wangcheng attacked Chen Liu, his Hulu family might end up the same as the He Lai family.

The long-lost blood rushed to his heart, isn't Bingzhou City being rebuilt?Isn't that royal city already sitting outside Bingzhou City?Then he must take a look, what does Wangcheng look like?How can you win the hearts of the people in the Northern Territory within a few months!
Is it true that Wangcheng is full of grain as the scouts reported?
If he doesn't take a look with his own eyes, he won't believe it!Not reconciled!

Ever since he led some of his clansmen to the Northern Territory, how lucky he was to escape from the control of the late emperor, and how much he wanted to do something!

He never regarded the people of the Han family as aliens, even if the tribal warriors oppressed the people, he would never take sides, he would be sentenced and killed if he should be sentenced; he tried his best to make friends with Xiao Yelu, and helped this reckless general several times Relief; he no longer looked down on the mediocre former Song Dynasty, for the sake of the people's early well-being, he spared no effort to help the people to quell the chaos in Yecheng; Freedom to come and go; he has always been harsh on himself, never dared to eat enough, and married to the Liang clan family to obtain more food and relieve the people of Yecheng; The rest of the tents, even his own big tent, were distributed to the affected people!
If God let him Hulu family end up in a dismal situation like He Lai family, he would really not be willing!What did he do wrong?
After running around for a day, he saw the people serving along the Fengyang River Dam outside Bingzhou City.But the strange thing is, since it is a military service, why are there still many tents similar to food stalls built along the way, emitting wisps of cooking smoke?In addition, there are private ox carts coming and going, and the porters frequently walk around in front of the dam, which is a bit like a lively market!

He got off his horse and came this way.When he left Chenliu, he disguised himself as a ranger in civilian clothes, and after going through a long journey, he didn't look as clean as the people around the river dam.

Looking closer, sure enough, there are food stalls under dozens of tents.

This alone shocked Huluhou!Ever since he came to the Northern Territory, the Fengyang Plain has always been a gray and desolate scene. Last year, there was no smoke for thousands of miles. Even when he was in Yecheng, he hadn't seen a bustling food stall for a long time.

"From afar? Over there there is a grass shed where animals can be fed for free." A porter passed by him and enthusiastically informed.

Hu Luhou actually saw it too, but he didn't expect it to be free.With suspicion, he led his horse to the thatched shed. There were twenty groups of large stone troughs under the shed, and each group of stone troughs was arranged in parallel for food and water.In the trough was fresh alfalfa and chaff, long enough for three animals to eat abreast.

There are already more than [-] cows and six horses.

An old woman was sitting by the side of the shed, the chair was a high chair with a back, and there was a food table in front of her, with bread and water bags on the table.

Huluhou swallowed his saliva, and his stomach began to growl.He brought bread, but he didn't know that he would be hungry for a few days on the way, so he didn't eat it if he was not particularly hungry.

The old woman smiled gently at him and said, "Xiao Langjun is a traveler? You can rest assured that the horses will be fed here for free."

"Thank you, grandma." Hou Luhou nodded politely at her.He tied up the horse and stared at the clover full of clover again.Damn it, the livestock here are better than what the warriors of the Hulu Department eat.

There is a wooden sign next to the thatched shed. The handwriting is not good, but it is very clear in vernacular: here, horses, cows, donkeys and other livestock are provided with free food, and the river dam is recruiting animal power. Get two copper coins.

"Grandma, will you pay me back the copper coins for serving in the river dam?" Huluhou was shocked!Because the currencies in the Central Plains have long been abandoned, the imperial court has produced bad coins several times, which are not recognized by the people at all, and they all use food, salt, and cloth instead of currency.

The old woman took out a copper coin from the cloth bag on her shoulders and said, "This is a copper coin. The little man has a lot of strength at first glance. As long as he is willing to work hard, your animal can earn two copper coins a day, and you can also earn three." One. Add up, five a day!"

"How do I make money?" Hu Luhou could count the copper coins as soon as he pinched them. It's really high-quality brass!And this copper coin is too beautifully made!The obverse is a relief "picture of plowing", the reverse is simple, only a slightly curved vertical line (number 1) is floating, and the circle of copper coins is fine and dense silk teeth.

Silk teeth are not just for looks. If anyone wants to steal copper from copper coins, if the silk teeth are missing, the copper coins will not be recognized by the people.Who came up with this idea?Wonderful!It's a pity that the craft of silk teeth is too difficult, and ordinary craftsmen can't do it at all!
The old woman coughed twice, Hu Luhou hurriedly returned the copper coin to her, pretending to be very embarrassed and said: "I don't know much, this is the first time I see such a beautiful copper coin."

The old woman got up, pointed at the people on the dam, and said: "Go there, as long as you work hard, you can make money and have food!"

Gululu. Huluhou's stomach screamed in cooperation.

"Stay full!" the old woman added.

Hu Luhou was really embarrassed this time, and walked towards the dam.

There were a few conspicuous long tables, and there were a few teenagers who looked like students.Huluhou looked at it for a while, there were those with registered names, places of origin, origins, food service plates, and those who were specifically puzzled: "The food plates are universal, you can eat at any food stall here. "

Hu Luhou went to the book-making table and asked, "Are you hiring workers here?"

"Yes. It is settled by the day, with two meals a day."

"If I have something to do, can I leave at any time?"

"Yes." With a kind smile on his face, the young man explained patiently: "However, when Mr. Wang has something to leave, it's best to settle the day's bill before leaving. For half-day labor, we only issue food cards, not wages."

"Then I'll sign up." Huluhou's stomach growled again.

"Okay. Tell me your name, where you come from, and where your place of origin is."

"My surname is Wang. I don't have a name. Everyone calls me Wang Dalang. I come from Chenliu County, and my origin is in Chenliu County."

"There are quite a few people from Chenliu County." The young man registered these, without asking too many questions, and carved a "Wang Dalang" nameplate with a small drill. "Hang it around your neck, and use this card to find the foreman to settle the copper coins every evening."

The young man next to him handed Huluhou a food sign and said, "You go to eat first and then work."

"Can this work?"

"Your stomach is growling, how can you work hard when you are hungry? We are not exploiters, so go quickly. The food signs are universal, and you can eat at any food stall here."

Like Grandma Liu who just entered the Grand View Garden, Hu Luhou came to the food stall top-heavy.

The steaming big steamer, the fried noodle fruit that was put into the pot, unexpectedly... there is even braised pork!

smell good!
A lot of delicious food!
