Chapter 40 Complaint
Zhao Mingzhi's family education was neither strict nor strict since he was a child, and he naturally read a lot of idle books, but it was still difficult to come into contact with such rough words. Although he could already hear that it should be bad, he didn't understand what it meant, and it was even more difficult to ask. I had no choice but to tangle in my heart, wondering what words followed.

And the speaker was hinted by Wei Chengyan one after another, and finally noticed Zhao Mingzhi next to Li Xun, he was very embarrassed, coughed lightly, got off his horse as if nothing happened, and said: "The second son and this girl have to go on the road tomorrow. It’s not like we changed horses and went back to rest first.”

He raised his head, and the other two people quickly dismounted and led the horse over.

Seeing that a person had already reached his side, and even enthusiastically handed over the reins in his hand, Zhao Mingzhi quickly waved his hands to thank him, and was about to refuse, when Li Xun said not far away: "Let's go first, this time we are here to change horses, and we have to hurry tomorrow morning , I went back to fill my stomach, so I can rest."

As he spoke, he casually took the reins handed by someone else, and gave up the horse he was riding, and the two sides made an exchange.

And the rest of the people also went to meet the first few idle horses.

After running for many days without eating or resting, the horses were already exhausted. As soon as Zhao Mingzhi put on a new horse, before he let go of his speed, he had already come to meet those riders on old horses and fell behind.

Wei Chengyan was leading the way ahead, and Fang drove the horse to run a few steps away. He didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly turned his head to carefully look at Li Xun's face. Le.

His mind was muddled, and he didn't know which direction to go. When he turned his head, he saw Zhao Mingzhi's expression hesitated, and he repeatedly looked back, trying to wait, and then followed her gaze to see the group that was far behind. Ming Wu said, "They are all our own people, don't pay attention to them, just follow your Third Brother Wei!"

Only then did Zhao Mingzhi let go of his distractions, and he still felt guilty, until he saw Li Xun lighting a torch in front of him and nodding to her, then he had no more worries and galloped forward.

This time, after running for more than half an hour, I finally saw people, but they were not ordinary people's houses, but neat camps in rows and rows, with patrolling soldiers at the gate, and flags were erected as a warning.

The jurisdiction here is huge, and the three of them ran for a cup of tea before they left the area they encircled, and there were soldiers patrolling outside the camp from time to time. Look at each other until people walk away.

Zhao Mingzhi saw that the appearance of the patrolling soldiers was exactly the same as the Xiang army he had encountered a few days ago when he went from Junzhou to Dengzhou to change defenses, so he couldn't help but feel hopeful.

She has been out for a long time, and she already knows that it is a common practice in the army of the prefecture and county to lie to the top and the bottom. Although she secretly remembers the boundaries of this place, when she returns to Caizhou in the future, she will find out the names of the local generals, so that It's for promotion, but I don't dare to believe it easily, I still have to choose the opportunity to confirm first.

After passing the barracks, and running forward for half an hour, a small county town suddenly appeared.

There is no need to enter the city, Wei Chengyan has already stopped in front of the gate of a courtyard.

The courtyard occupies a large area, the front is open, four lanterns are all lit, and there are two big stone lions sitting on the left and right, one of them is baring its teeth, and the other is jumping in anger. The lights also fully revealed the fierceness.

There were a dozen or so people standing at the door early on, and they had already gathered when they heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance. When they saw the three approaching, they hurried forward to meet them, and everyone shouted, "Second Young Master", "Second Master", Words such as "head of the family" are endless.

Wei Chengyan was the first to arrive, and at this time La Ma Teng stepped aside.

He only took a few steps before Li Xun jumped off his horse, pulled up the people who were about to salute one by one, or clenched fists, or clapped shoulders and backs with each other, Fang said: "I've been delayed for too long, it's all up to you Work hard to maintain as a stay-at-home."

One of them seemed to have the most senior qualifications, and immediately replied: "It's not like working with others, so what's the hard work!"

For a while, everyone agreed.

Another person said: "It's too late, I've been driving for a day, don't stand outside, go in first to have a drink and talk!"

Sure enough, a group of people crowded around them to enter the door, surrounded Li Xun in a noisy manner, chattering, everyone had something to say, and some couldn't get in, so they hooked shoulders with Wei Chengyan, asking what they didn't know.

Zhao Mingzhi took two steps back knowingly, and was about to give way to speak to them, but before he stepped out of his foot, a man with a silly face smiled at her and said, "Is it Miss Zhao? Sit here, brothers, get ready early." The food is waiting for you."

As he spoke, he led her to sit down.

The host sincerely invited, Zhao Mingzhi no longer refused, and sat down calmly.

There are more than a dozen plates and bowls on the table full of things, including chicken, duck, fish and meat, which looks very bold, but there are no wine glasses in front of everyone, only teacups.

The person who was seated with him got up first, and said with a cup of tea: "Since the second young master has arrived, he will naturally attend to the other important matters, so there is no need to be verbose, but there is a small matter, so he simply talked about it in front of all the brothers - even though he didn't know that I was going to leave later." Afterwards, whoever takes over here, there is one thing that has to be guarded against."

He complained: "Junzhou City has often sent letters in the past two years, asking to pay the account and pay the bank here. In the past six months, Fu Da has sent people here every now and then to look at the account, and asked for the list of brothers in the escort agency, and then sent someone to take over. , don’t piss and take pictures of your toad’s face, dare to dream any dog ​​dream!”

He also confessed: "I send money to the city according to the number every month, only a lot, the second son sees... the old master has raised them for many years, and this escort agency has nothing to do with the same surname as Fu. Give him a name for nothing."

Speaking of this, another person beside him also stood up and echoed: "The head of the family, it doesn't count that Fu Da is in charge of the people in Junzhou City, and he has to stretch his hands out. They keep asking people to inquire about the Second Young Master's business in other states, he seems to be looking for directions and drawing pictures, asking questions everywhere, not knowing what he wants to do——In my opinion, let's just give up and let it go, it will be a disaster after a long time!"

After saying something, no one spoke at the originally lively table, and they all went to look at Li Xun.

Li Xun said: "I'm busy right now, so I don't need to talk to him. I'll let people stare at him for asking the way and draw a picture, and then I'll talk about it when I free up my hands."

After receiving the instruction, everyone immediately silenced the flags and drums. They wanted to ask something, but they all looked at Zhao Mingzhi by coincidence.

A group of people have different expressions on their faces, some want to look carefully but are embarrassed, some look suspicious, some secretly look at her and then go to Wei Chengyan to ask questions, and some look at her first and then look Li Xun came back to see her again.

But Li Xun didn't see him, and pointed to Zhao Mingzhi with his palm and said, "This is the girl Zhao I met on the way. She robbed Di thief's road and saved the important luggage from the river. I took her dart and sent her to go. Jingzhao Mansion went to seek relatives."

As soon as the words came out, everyone immediately let out "oh" and "ah" voices one after another, looked at Zhao Mingzhi with a little more respect and understanding, not only that, but also secretly looked at me, I looked at you, I don't know The so-called show each other with eyes.
