Merry Evil Zun Xiuxian Ji

Chang Xiao and his group were walking along the official road, and saw more and more people on the official road, with big and small parcels, all of them looked worried and panicked, and there were even quite a few carriages among them, which were deliberately messed up. It is tattered and looks very ordinary, but one can tell from the depth of the ruts that the carriages are filled with goods, and the materials of the carriages without looking at the ruts can tell that it is not an item of ordinary people's homes. These refugees One after another, they headed in the opposite direction to Chang Xiao, apparently surrounding them to avoid disaster.

Chang Xiao asked someone to inquire about it, and came to understand that Zhang Xianzhong went around arresting and killing people, captured young men, women or children, and sent them all to Wuchang City to be killed. The old, weak and sick were pushed directly into the river, then The mountain of corpses even blocked the river, anyway, as long as he was caught by Zhang Xianzhong's men, he would definitely die.Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates are still radiating around Wuchang as the center.

Therefore, the wealthy households in the counties around Wuchang fled one after another. They still run fast, and the number of refugees behind them will be even greater.

Chang Xiao looked at these refugees with their families passing by, frowned and pondered, and after a while, he called Wang Gui over, and asked in a low voice, "I want to recruit soldiers, is it possible?"

Chang Xiao is about to go to Wuchang, which is probably a maelstrom caused by a meat grinder. It is useless for him to bring these hundreds of people to kill him. I am afraid that General Zuo Liangyu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he will definitely not give it to him. What kind of military power and military power, at most, treat him as an idler who makes military achievements, eat and drink well, and even guard against him. In that case, what's the use of him laughing often?He didn't come to earn military merits to accumulate qualifications and continue to work for Chongzhen. He came to grab a gun and prepare to rebel and start his own business.In Chang Xiao's view, a traverser who doesn't want to be an emperor is definitely not a good traverser.

Wang Gui was taken aback when he heard the words, then his eyes flashed, and Chang Xiao saw a gleam of joy in the deepest part of his pupils, this is what a soldier and an officer are expected to be.

Officers should be like greedy hungry ghosts to expand their subordinates. In the army, the number of people is the right to speak. Wang Gui glanced at the refugees around him, pondered for a while, and said: "My lord, it is impossible to recruit troops. These refugees They are all family-led, and those single young adults still have fear on their faces. If they want to come and recruit soldiers in a friendly manner, they can't follow us back, unless they have blood feuds but can't take revenge, or Only those who have nothing to eat can voluntarily join us. In this way, we will not be able to recruit many soldiers. Besides, it is not convenient for us to loot everywhere blatantly. We have no food to feed them."

Chang Xiao frowned slightly when he heard this, Wang Gui's eyes flickered, and then he said tentatively: "I don't know if the young master is recruiting troops, the court..."

It is definitely a serious crime to recruit soldiers without permission, and if you fail to be charged with a crime of conspiracy, it will be a catastrophe of ransacking your family and exterminating your family.

"The imperial court is not a problem, the key is how to pull together a team." Chang Xiao said in a low voice.

Chang Xiao really didn't have Chongzhen's will to allow him to recruit soldiers at will, and the emperor didn't even arrange a serious official position for him.But this is not a problem at all in Chang Xiao’s view. Others may be guilty of great crimes, but he often laughs to do this, but at most he will be reprimanded. Lost, he often laughs at some outrageous things, Chongzhen may be happier.At that time, his knife will be useless, and Chongzhen can knead it as he wants.

Hearing this, Wang Gui rolled his eyes, smiled and said, "My lord, you actually don't need to make up your mind among these refugees. These refugees are few and strong, so it's useless to recruit them."

Hearing this, Chang Xiao looked at the refugees rushing past him, and it was true that as Wang Gui said, there were not many strong ones.But seeing such suffering people pass by his side, he couldn't pull them into the team. Following his own revolution, he sang a vigorous ballad of serfs turning over and singing, which really made Chang Xiao feel very sorry feeling.

But Wang Gui suddenly said: "My lord, I have an idea. I just don't know if it should be used or not."

Chang Xiao heard the words and said quickly: "Say it quickly."

Wang Gui thought for a while, and then said: "These refugees are useless, why don't we go directly to those bandits for advice. When we were in Nine Sides, we often arrested people from other races to serve as slave labor. It is not a pity to lose it, and it can be used for work, even as an animal, which is very convenient, and the most important thing is..."

Speaking of this, Wang Gui lowered his voice and said, "My lord, it's a big taboo to recruit soldiers and horses without permission, but if we go to suppress the bandits, it's not a taboo, on the contrary, it's a great achievement, no one can say anything. In this way, we can strengthen ourselves, and others can only praise and can't say anything else. Also, those bandits are killing and looting everywhere, and many of them are extremely rich. Confiscating all their property and food will not only be enough to feed them, but you can also make a fortune!"

Chang Xiao heard the words, his eyes lit up, he looked at Wang Gui up and down, until Wang Gui showed a shy smile on his bearded face, then he laughed and said: "That's right, we are not in a hurry I’m going to Wuchang, let’s try some soft ones first and try to see if it’s delicious.” In Chang Xiao’s heart, the value of Wang Gui couldn’t help but increase a bit, he Chang Xiao is a foreigner after all, so it’s not as clear and thorough as these local households .

Wang Gui nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, but his eyes turned to Master Wu and his party.

Chang Xiao naturally understood what Wang Gui meant, it would be inconvenient for Master Wu to follow them and do things freely!Chang Xiao nodded, and after a few whispered instructions, he walked towards Mr. Wu.

Because of a group of people killed on the way, Chang Xiao originally made up his mind to go straight to Wuchang with Mr. Wu and his party, but now Chang Xiao has changed the established route and will not go to Wuchang for the time being. Is there any Mr. Wu for company? Companions don't matter.

Unless it was the foreigners from the Holy Cult and Mo Qianye and his party followed them all the way, otherwise they just sneaked into a small road, and it would be impossible for the other party to find them and intercept them calmly.Even if Mo Qianye came back to kill him again, Chang Xiao would not be afraid. In Chang Xiao's opinion, killing a sword cultivator would not be difficult, and it would be inconvenient to do so with Master Wu watching. If you don't show up, there's nothing terrible about smiling often.If that fierce purple-robed man came to kill him, it wouldn't matter if Mr. Wu and his party were by his side.Mr. Wu is probably not the opponent's general.

Master Wu and his party consisted of ten people, four of them were injured by Mo Qianye's sword light. Fortunately, none of them were seriously injured. One advantage of being injured by the sword light is that the wounds are sharp and neat. Apart from the shortcoming of severe pain Relatively easy to restore.And because the sword light is composed of pure sword energy, the wound is not easy to be infected with bacteria, and it is usually not a big deal as long as it does not hurt the muscles and bones.

In fact, a sword cultivator can completely turn his sword qi into a jagged shape, making it difficult to repair the wound. The reason why he doesn't do this is not because of the pride of the sword cultivator or other nonsense, but because for the sword cultivator, the most important The most important thing is the sharpness and speed, and the jagged sword qi is not the best choice for improving the sharpness and speed.

Master Wu was helping the wounded to re-bandage the wound. When he saw Chang Xiao coming, he nodded and turned to look at Chang Xiao after dressing the wound.

Chang Xiao took a look, Master Wu's dressing level is really average, no different from wrapping zongzi, but the dressing methods of this era are all like this, in the eyes of Chang Xiao, who has specially learned wound dressing, it is naturally worthless mentioned.

"Master Wu, how many days are there before Wuchang?" Chang Xiao spoke first.

Master Wu said: "There are still seven days, but judging from the situation, it will take at least another ten days to arrive."

Chang Xiao glanced at the refugees in twos and threes on the road, among the refugees they really couldn't move fast.

Chang Xiao smiled and said: "Master Wu, I'm afraid you will have to walk the rest of the way on your own. Hehe, Master Wu also saw that there are two female family members on my side. The two of them have suddenly felt unwell recently, so I can only take them with you." Let's make a diagnosis first, so we don't know how long it will be delayed, so we won't delay Master Wu's schedule."

In terms of official positions, Chang Xiao's official position is a few blocks away from Master Wu, but there is no official position between Chang Xiao and Master Wu. They are both people with cultivation bases. High and low are not so important, and they will not be restrained because of this. Tianya is neither humble nor overbearing in front of the emperor, and Chongzhen does not completely treat the other party as a courtier.

Master Wu's eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at the two girls, Yuguang and Jingguang, over Chang Xiao, and saw that the two girls were busy packing things for Chang Xiao, walking steadily, although I dare not say that they are both ruddy and healthy , but no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there is some serious illness that requires so many people to stop and see a doctor together.

Apparently the illness of the two girls is just an excuse for Chang Xiao, and Chang Xiao is not even willing to find a decent excuse, so that people can see through the lies at a glance, especially unprofessional, without any sincerity in lying, but this It also shows from the side that he Chang Xiao must go on the road alone, and will no longer walk with their talented people all the way.

Mr. Wu felt puzzled in his heart. He didn't know why Chang Xiao made such a move. It stands to reason that although Tianyao and Chang Xiao had their own ideas along the way, they were in the same boat. This place is not too close to Wuchang, and the journey ahead It will become more and more difficult to go, and you may even encounter bandits. It is very convenient and beneficial for the two of them to be together. He doesn't understand why Chang Xiao made this request.

If you don't understand, you don't understand, Chang Xiao's meaning is very clear, Mr. Wu knows that even if he wants to have the cheek to stay with him, it won't work.In fact, he is more anxious to go to Wuchang than Chang Xiao, there are still a lot of things to deal with over there, the few golden ruler monks of Dancheng should have arrived in Wuchang by now, and they are waiting for them.Moreover, if the Golden Pagoda in Jiulong Town is delayed for a day, something will happen one day. If Chang Xiao walks slowly, he really can't afford to delay.

Master Wu laughed dryly and said: "Since Mr. Chang's woman is ill, it is indeed necessary to have a good diagnosis and treatment so as not to delay the illness, so I will go on the road first."

Chang Xiao grinned when he heard the words, and said with a fake face: "It's a pity, I originally wanted to ask Mr. Wu a lot about spiritual things along the way, but now it seems that I can only regret it."

Master Wu replied vaguely with a half-smile, and cursed hypocrisy in his heart.
