At the end of the Han Dynasty: a stingy husband from his hometown

Chapter 60 Homecoming
"Tap Tap!"

The rapid sound of horse hooves came from the official road, raising a large amount of dust.

When the common people working in the fields saw this knight wearing a red jersey and bright armor, they all stopped what they were doing and saluted the cavalry team galloping past.

On a field path, a ranger and a few rascals were loafing about.

The ranger at the head, seeing the mighty cavalry coming, couldn't help but clenched his fists and shouted to the sluts around him: "This is what a man should do!"

Dressed in bright clothes and angry horses, looking at each other with disdain, is the dream of many young people.

"Awen, look at the person riding the horse at the front, is he Ayu?"

Next to him was a prodigal with excellent eyesight, who couldn't help exclaiming as he watched the cavalry team getting closer and closer.

The leading young man, who was feeling emotional, hurriedly looked over after hearing the words, and he really saw Zhou Qi in official clothes, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

This ranger is called Chen Wen, and because of his humble background, he doesn't even have a nickname.

When Zhou Qi attacked and killed Pei Guo Prime Minister Wang Ji, Chen Wen also participated in it. At the gate of the city, wearing a mask, he was responsible for lighting the haystacks and attracting Pei Guo's lieutenants and officers and soldiers, among them was Chen Wen.

However, this matter was too big, and even the slightest carelessness could lead to death, so Chen Wen did not tell anyone.

Even among the losers behind him, no one knew about this at all.

Originally, the government wanted Zhou Qi and Xiang Hong everywhere, even Zhou Cheng was injured, and Zhou Gu was arrested and tortured. Chen Wen was worried for a long time, fearing that Zhou Gu would push himself out.

In fact, Chen Wen was planning to flee Xiang County some time ago.

Unexpectedly, before Chen Wen's escape plan was implemented, he saw the latest official document issued by the government and learned that Zhou Qi had not only been cleared of the crime, but had also been recruited as an official in the Sili Xiaowei Mansion.

Even Zhou Qi and Xiang Hong, the two main criminals, have been acquitted by the government, and Chen Wen, the accomplice, is naturally not worried about being wanted by the government again.

It was precisely for this reason that Chen Wen had the idea today to take a few of his dog-legged wanderers and wander around the countryside.

Unexpectedly, he actually saw Zhou Qi after being away for several days.

Seeing Zhou Qi, Chen Wen was not afraid of the galloping knights. He immediately ran to the side of the official road, raised his hands and jumped up and down, shouting Zhou Qi's name.

Zhou Qi also saw Chen Wen from a distance and felt extremely happy in his heart.

Although Chen Wen and others did not directly participate in the assassination of Wang Ji, without their help, even if Zhou Qi could kill Wang Ji in the end, he might not be able to escape calmly.

Xiang Hong followed him to kill in public. Although he was wanted by the government, at least he still had a reputation.

For people like Chen Wen, Zhou Cheng, and Shi Huan who were clearly involved in this matter but only helped secretly without revealing their identities, they did not get the reputation they deserved. Therefore, after Zhou Qi escaped from Xiang County, While I was worried about them, I also felt a little guilty.

"Awen!"

After a few exchanges with Yang Jiazuo beside him, Zhou Qi led Xu Chu to leave the team and headed in the direction of Chen Wen.

"Shut up!"

Zhou Qi reined in the reins, dismounted and gave Chen Wen a big hug, not concealing his inner joy at all.

The two hugged each other heavily. Chen Wen did not appear restrained because of Zhou Qi's change of identity, but was filled with pride in his heart.

He pulled Zhou Qi, turned around and looked at his dog-legged sluts, slapped his chest loudly, raised his head and said proudly: "Ayu is my brother, have you seen it?"

When those sluts saw Zhou Qi, it was as if the street gangsters of later generations saw a big brother in society, their eyes were full of reverence.

They didn't dare to be as casual as Chen Wen, they all stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

Zhou Qi didn't show off, and returned the greetings solemnly to several people before he began to ask Chen Wen about the current situation in Xiangxian County.

When he learned that the Zhou family's residence and fields had been seized by the government, Zhou Cheng had been injured, and Zhou Gu had been captured and tortured, his face suddenly sank.

Seeing this, Chen Wen hurriedly advised, "Ah Yu calm down."

"The person who did these things is the Lieutenant of Pei State. A lieutenant is no better than the Prime Minister. He holds military power in his hands. When there is no Prime Minister in the country, he can also take charge of the Prime Minister's duties. He is no easier to provoke than Wang Ji."

Chen Wen's worries were indeed correct.

Wang Ji seems to have the highest position and great power.

But because of the presence of Lieutenant Pei Guo, Wang Ji wanted to mobilize the troops in the city, and at least he needed Lieutenant Liu's permission.

If Wang Jizhong betrayed his relatives, and Lieutenant Pei Guo also deliberately perfunctory, then he, the Prime Minister of Pei Guo, would not be as powerful as imagined.

Lieutenant Liu was different.

In any case, the military power is at least in his hands, and if he is to be pushed into a hurry, Lieutenant Liu will be far more dangerous than Pei Guoxiang Wang Ji.

Zhou Qi nodded and comforted: "Don't worry, I won't do anything random."

"Do you know how Zhou Cheng and Zhou Gu are doing now?"

Chen Wen hurriedly comforted him: "There is no need to worry about this. Because Zhou Cheng was protected by the villagers, the officers and soldiers did not dare to push too hard, so his injuries are not serious."

"On the contrary, Zhou Gu has indeed suffered a lot."

"But this boy is indeed a man. Even though he was beaten to death, he never confessed to us."

"On the contrary, after Lieutenant Liu learned that Ayu had become a Duguan, he not only released Zhou Gu to settle down, but also sent two very smart maids to serve him."

Hearing this, Zhou Qi let out a long sigh of relief.

He looked at Chen Wen and said, "I have official duties, so I can't stay here longer. Ah Wen, go and help me gather those brothers. I will host a banquet at the Zhou family's residence tonight."

"As for who there are, you should understand."

Chen Wen grinned and showed his white teeth. He patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, Ayu. Except for Shi Gongliu who returned to Xiao County, I will help you find everyone."

Zhou Qi was about to leave when he suddenly woke up and asked, "You said that the Zhou family's mansion and fields were seized by the government. Have they been returned now?"

In Zhou Qi's opinion, even Zhou Gu was sent out of prison and treated well.

Then Lieutenant Liu must have returned these seized mansions and fields, so he thought about returning to Zhou's mansion to entertain everyone.

Chen Wen smiled and said, "That's natural."

In this way, Zhou Qi said hello to the wanderers behind Chen Wen, and then led Xu Chu to ride forward to catch up with the large army.

Chen Wen watched Zhou Qi's figure gradually go away, turned his head to look at his younger brothers, patted his chest and laughed, and said in an extremely shy voice: "Did you see, Zhou Qi, Zhou Ziyi, the captain of Sili Xiaowei's mansion?" Officials are engaged, my brother, I am returning to my hometown!"

Naturally, the younger brothers kept flattering each other, making Chen Wen laugh again and again.
