Chapter 78 Take refuge
When he came to Weizhuang for the second time, Xu Huang's whole mentality had undergone an earth-shaking change.

Looking at the military camp stationed outside Wei Zhuang, the big banner standing outside the camp, and the [Sun] outlined in gold on the banner.Xu Huang just smiled lightly, and rode past with his head held high.

The gate of Weizhuang opened slowly, and the guards guarding the gate not only knew Xu Chu, but also Xu Chu, who had been here many times.

Chengtou greeted everyone with a smile. These guards used to be Wei's farmers, but because of a coincidence, they practiced a little kung fu and became Wei's servants. Many of them went up the mountain with Chengtou when they were young. What about the bird's nest?

"Brother Chengtou, come to help the second master deliver the letter again." A young man stepped forward and said.

This person is Wei Gong's deputy, he has met many times, and they have become familiar with each other, chatting a few words from time to time.

Nodding his head, he asked with a smile, "Is the third master not here?"

The young man said: "The third master has gone to the county mansion...Brother Chengtou, you are going to dismount here. Forgive me, there are village rules. Don't worry, we will take care of the horses."

Several people dismounted from their horses, Xu Chu asked: "Mr. Wei, do you have some free time now? Young Master asked me to deliver the letter and report something important."

The young man took the leading horse, frowned and said: "I don't know about that, Mr. Sun hasn't left yet, the master should be in Dongyuan, I'll find someone to inform, Brother Xu, wait a moment."

"Thank you." The three of Xu and Chu bowed their hands in greeting.

at this time.

A carriage rolled towards the village, and the driver who led the horse saw that someone was in charge at the door, so he couldn't help slowing down the speed of the carriage.

Seeing the frame, the guard at the door hastily pulled the first-class horse aside.

When the carriage passed the door, the curtains were lifted, and Sun Jian looked towards Xu Chu and the others.

Seeing Xu Huang, Sun Jian still had a little impression, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He was just stunned for a moment, and then put down the curtain.

As the carriage went away, Xu Chu turned his head and said, "This is Sun Polu? You really are so brave!"

Xu Huang laughed noncommittally.

Instead, he asked curiously, "Is this person very powerful?"

Xu Chu and Xu Huang looked at each other.

Is Sun Jian good?
Judging from his current achievements, he should be very powerful.

But since ancient times, literati despise warriors and slander each other, and the two are unwilling to admit that Sun Jian is better than themselves, if they have the chance...Of course, the two are just thinking about it, and they are not really arrogant.

The three of them saw Wei Hao.

According to Wei Cheng's instructions, Xu Huang explained to Wei Hao the movements of the Baibo Army and the possible chaos.

"...That's roughly the case. At present, the most important thing is Xia County. The Baibo Army is likely to attack Xia County. I also ask Wei Gong to make a plan early. The meaning of the son is the same. Don't let the Baibo Army mess up the villagers in Hedong, so that the people in Hedong Lives are in charcoal."

Wei Hao frowned, he didn't expect the situation to be so chaotic.

If the Baibo army really wants to repeat the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Hedong, then Hedong will inevitably become the next place of seclusion.

Wei Hao unconsciously clenched his fists when he thought that the foundation that his ancestors worked so hard to build might be ruined in his own hands.

Wei's headquarters is in Hedong, and almost every county in Hedong has branches, so it can be said that it affects the whole body.

In addition, the Wei family has many in-laws in Hedong, such as the Taiyuan Wang family, Wenxi Pei family, Xie family and so on.

If the Baibo army really wants to attack the family, it is obvious that the Wei family cannot be alone in this.

When Wei Hao learned that Wei Cheng intended to protect the villagers in Hedong, his old eyes narrowed slightly.

He said: "You go back first and tell Cheng'er that the family has its own way to deal with it, so that he doesn't have to worry about it, but if it's life or death... forget it, that's all, you go back first."

If it is a time of life and death, run away, and run away as far as you can with your wife.

Wei Hao originally wanted to say this, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. At that time, it seemed that there was no point in saying anything.

The three of Xu Chu didn't understand why, so they could only retreat obediently.

After leaving Weizhuang.

Xu Huang frowned and said, "Tell me, did Mr. Wei not understand our young master's meaning?"

Xu Chu also frowned, scratched his nose and said, "Could it be that you are too pessimistic about the situation? I think what you mean, young master, he doesn't take the Baibo army seriously, but just now Duke Wei doesn't seem to care. Think so."

"Then what should we do?" Chengtou interjected in a daze.

The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while, so they had to go back and report to Wei Cheng in detail.

In fact, what the three of them didn't know was that Wei Hao triggered Beloved's passive. He loved Wei Cheng too much and didn't want Wei Cheng to be in danger.

The three of them rode their horses and brought up billowing smoke in the wilderness.

When I first arrived at the official road, I saw about two to three hundred people walking hard on the official road in front of me.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes behind them, those people made way.

Xu Chu and the others didn't care, and rode through the middle on horseback.

At this moment, a childish voice from the crowd shouted: "Father, mother, it's the uncle, the kind uncle who gave me steamed buns!"

Xu Huang was stunned for a moment, feeling that the voice sounded familiar, he couldn't help but look back, and when he saw a little girl taking it back from him, he froze for a moment.

"Appreciate~"

Seeing Xu Huang stop his horse, Xu Chuhe followed suit and took the reins, turning his head to look curiously at Xu Huang.

At this time, a shiny bald head popped out from the side, shouting: "What a coincidence, two strong men."

Xu Chu looked at that person, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, he frowned and said, "Are you from the Jiaolong Gang?"

Among the crowd, an old man stood up, bowed his hands respectfully to the three of Xu and Chu, and said, "You two strong men are safe here."

Chengtou asked in confusion, "You two know them?"

Xu Chu pointed to the bald-headed silver carp, who shrank his head behind his head, and said, "Have you forgotten, the ones who made trouble the day before yesterday?"

Cheng looked at the silver carp, frowned instantly, and said angrily, "Hehe, it turned out to be you."

The silver carp nodded awkwardly and walked behind the old man.

The old man cupped his hands and said: "Forgive the strong man, but the children are ignorant and offended the nobleman. I will apologize for them."

Seeing that he was old and couldn't even stand upright, Chengtou bowed to himself, and couldn't say anything, "Forget it, forget it, old man, don't do this."

Over there, Xu Huang jumped off the horse, touched the little girl's head, took out a few steamed buns from the bundle on the horse's back, and distributed them to the surrounding children, then raised his head and asked the adults : "Why did you appear here?"

The child's parents expressed their gratitude one after another, and one of the women said: "We have no choice but to do so. After you left yesterday, some officials and soldiers came to our village and said they wanted to recruit strong men to dig some mines. Chuan and the others disagreed, so they started fighting with each other."

"Oh?" Xu Huang frowned slightly.

A woman said angrily: "They claim to be from the Baibo army, and they say that if we don't obey, we will massacre the village. My mother is not used to him. I was dragged into the army and returned with my life, and then took my son away. I won't live."

"Yeah, we beat them away, but we were also afraid of offending the Baibo army. In the end, we really had no choice but to seek refuge with you!"

Baldheaded and farted, he walked up to Xu Huang and watched the children gnaw on the steamed buns. His mouth blew out, and he was sucked back.

"Take refuge with us?"

"This……"

Xu Huang looked at Xu Chu, both of them looked puzzled.

···
The construction of Haojia Village is still in full swing.

Hao Dadao would go to the shabby room from time to time these days, mainly to ask Wei Cheng for some professional metallurgical techniques.

Don't ask why Wei Cheng suddenly became a smelting expert. In fact, he also took time to return to modern times.

Hao Dadao didn't take it seriously at first, but after trying the metallurgical formula provided by Wei Teng, the wrought iron he got had a large increase in both hardness and toughness, and he was shocked immediately.

I have to sigh, it’s good to be born in a family, you know everything, this recipe for making iron is just taken out, it’s even better than the recipe from the Imperial Armory Workshop...Hao Dadao was once conscripted to make ordnance , understand a little bit.

At this time, the arsenal next to the brick factory had already been properly built, and dozens of people tirelessly beat the hot iron billets.

Wei Cheng sent them another task today, to create a building material called nails.

It wasn't that Wei Cheng didn't want to build houses with mortise and tenon structure, nor was it that people in the village didn't understand what mortise and tenon structure was.

How good it is to use nails. First make do with building the house, and then promote ancient architecture in the future. Opportunities abound, so don’t be in a hurry.

It was the first time that Wu Santong and others who got the nails discovered that building a house can be so easy. You only need to saw the wood according to the specifications and plan it, and then connect it with nails. Just this, the speed of building houses and towers has increased. a lot.

In this way, the demand for nails skyrocketed.

In addition to supervising the quality of the house, Hao Dadao also took time to watch the progress of the arsenal.

Wei Cheng suggested that he hand over the supervisor of the house to other people. Hao Dadao also felt that he was gradually unable to do what he wanted, and finally suggested that Hao Sanzhu be the supervisor.

Wei Cheng nodded in agreement. Hao Sanzhu and Aunt Manhua are both well-behaved people, including Xiaohua. Their family belongs to the type of diligent and meticulous work, which is very suitable for this type of overall planning work.

The two found Hao Sanzhu.

Knowing that he was going to be responsible for the house construction, Hao Sanzhu refused at first because he felt that it was difficult for him to take on the big responsibility.

Another point is that he was isolated by the villagers because of his excessive bragging. Now that he has returned to live in the village, he just wants to blend in with everyone. As for being a leader, he absolutely dare not think about it.

However, what he didn't expect was that not only Wei Cheng and Hao Dadao agreed to ask him to be the supervisor, but even people in the village stood up and spoke well of him.

"I think Uncle Sanzhu is fine. Uncle Sanzhu works seriously, but his mouth is too stinky."

"Well, that's right, Sanzhu is good for everything, but that mouth is particularly annoying."

"Forget it, forget it, let Sanzhu be the supervisor, there is no more suitable candidate than him in the main village."

Hao Sanzhu was about to cry, are you willing or not? Can you not forgive others?

After thinking about it carefully, isn’t that what I used to be like? It turns out that it feels really uncomfortable to be left behind... Wait, guys, it turns out that you are cursing me around the corner.

The people in the village cheered up their addiction, and Hao Sanzhu also successfully became a supervisor, mainly responsible for the follow-up of the progress and quality of the houses.

Many years later, Hao Sanzhu, standing in front of the gate of the imperial palace, looked at his life's proudest work. He never imagined that his life would take such a wonderful turn because of today...

Withered vines, old trees, faint crows.

sunset.

The three of Xu Chu, who were supposed to return in the afternoon, finally appeared at the foot of the mountain at this time.

The three of them looked at each other with wry smiles on each other's faces.

On the top of the mountain, the villagers who were about to lower the lifting platform inadvertently glanced behind the three of them, and their movements stopped instantly.

The villager in charge of vigilance shouted: "Everyone be on guard."

He even went to ring the iron bell for the alarm.

The leader at the foot of the mountain shouted hastily: "Heizi, it's us."

Heizi shouted: "I know, have you been held hostage, I will call someone to come over and take care of you."

The head shouted angrily: "No, you misunderstood, we are fine."

Heizi froze for a moment, then pointed to more and more people behind the three, "Then who are they?"

Not long after, Wei Cheng, who got the news, came to the lifting platform.

Xu Chu and the others had already climbed to the top of the cliff, accompanied by an old man.

Seeing Wei Cheng, the old man saluted respectfully: "Old man, Huafu, I have met you son."

Wei Cheng looked at the villagers gathered at the foot of the mountain, frowned and said, "This is old man?"

Xu Chu talked about the Jiaolong Gang wanting to join Wei Cheng in general, and then pointed to the old man and said: "They were targeted by the Baibo army, and they wanted to lure the men in the village to mine. After driving away the Baibo army, they will When he escaped and had nowhere to go, he thought of us."

"This..." Wei Cheng looked at the densely packed hundreds of heads at the foot of the mountain, one head and two big heads for a moment.

Seeing this, the old man hastily knelt down to Wei Cheng and begged, "Master, please help us."

At the foot of the mountain, everyone knelt down and shouted in unison: "My lord, you are so kind and virtuous, please save us."

Looking at this scene, Wei Cheng felt indescribably uncomfortable. First, he pityed them for their hard life, and second, he felt helpless to be driven away. If he refused directly, wouldn't it be a little too unkind?

Sighing deeply, Wei Cheng said bluntly: "The old man got up first to speak... To be honest, you can accept it, but you have to listen to me in everything in the future. If you can't do it, don't blame me for turning my face and denying others." .”

The old man hesitated a little, but remembering that winter is coming soon, and without shelter, many people would die, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, my lord, since we have made plans to seek refuge, we will definitely follow your lead and follow suit. Don't dare to disobey the young master."

Wei Cheng nodded slightly, and immediately said: "The first order, everyone goes to the creek to the east to wash their bodies."
