God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 767

Under the watchful eyes of Li Er and others, the pig catching brigade was like a group of lunatics, fearless of death, just smashing their heads and faces with maces.

The well-trained imperial army fell down in an instant.

A moment later, fifty imperial guards dressed as hunters all fell to the ground.

On the other side of the pig catching brigade, only three people fell down.

At this time, the mace in Li Ergou's hand suddenly pointed in the direction of Li Ergou and the others, and shouted: "Brothers, there are still a bunch of people over there, go, catch up, arrest them all, and send the young ones to you!" Build roads, send the old ones to raise pigs, kill them!"

A dozen guys rushed over with maces in their hands.

The faces of Changsun Wuji and others changed greatly, and they all shouted: "Protect Your Majesty!"

"go!"

"Come on!"

Li Er and the civil servants went first, and the generals resisted in the rear.

Qin Qiong, Li Junxian, Hou Junji, Li Daozong and others fought hard and barely repelled the pig hunting brigade. Then they looked back and saw that Li Er and the others had left safely. They looked at each other and withdrew one after another. Shock was seen in the other person's eyes.

Are these lunatics in front of us really just pig catchers?Why is the fighting power so strong?
……

dusk.

Li Er walked out from the deep mountain with a group of people. Everyone was in a panic, tired and hungry.

Li started to learn riding and archery with Li Yuan at the age of 20, and rebelled against him when he was a teenager. Over the years, he has been on the battlefield, and there are no disadvantages, and the people around him are all famous officials and generals who have followed him to conquer half of the Tang Dynasty. You know, today the boat capsized in the gutter and fell into the hands of a pig hunting brigade composed of 20 people.

It can be called a great shame!
Along the way, no one spoke.

The atmosphere became more and more awkward.

Cuckoo.

Suddenly, someone's stomach growled.

Hou Junji pointed to a house in the distance with smoke coming from the roof, and said, "Your Majesty, there is a house ahead, let's go ask for some food first."

Li Er nodded: "Alright, by the way, let's count the number of people."

Qin Qiong stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have already counted. There are 32 people who followed His Majesty to hunt in the mountains, and now there are 13 people present. The rest of them have not had time to run out. I am afraid they have already been arrested." The pig brigade took them away. Among them was Wang Situ!"

Everyone looked around, but there was no sign of Wang Gui.

Wang Gui was a civil servant, and he was very old, so he couldn't escape in the chaos.

Li Er said angrily: "Li Ke is a rebellious son, don't be discouraged, dear friends, go ahead and have some food and rest, then come with me to Hu County to beg for someone."

"Yes!"

Everyone quickly came to the courtyard of this family in front of them.

There is only one old lady in the family with a little grandson who is about seven years old.

The old lady learned that Li Er and the others had lost their way into the mountains, and seeing that although these people were in a mess, they were dressed in extraordinary clothes, so without saying a word, they began to prepare meals for everyone.

At this time, the old lady's grandson came over, looking like a tiger, and everyone thought it was cute.

Li Er then asked: "Child, how far is it from here to the county seat of Hu County?"

The child replied: "It's not far to go to Hu County, and I will arrive soon. I am studying in Hu County, and I just came back today."

Li Er was startled.

Look at this farmer's house, the house is dilapidated and not rich, so they can let this child go to school?

"Do you have any spare money in your family to send you to school?" Li Er asked curiously.

The child said arrogantly: "Why not, my parents are building roads on Anhu Avenue, and they add up to a lot of money every month. My grandfather works on a farm in Huxian County, and he has five hundred Wen a month, and I am studying. It only costs five hundred cash per month."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this.

If the child didn't lie, doesn't it mean that this family can provide for two or three children to study?
"Then what are you studying for?" Li Er asked again.

The child said with a smile: "When I grow up, I will be a city manager, I will catch pigs, I will arrest people, and I will arrest more people to raise pigs. What a prestige!"

At the mention of the word catching pigs, Li Er's face turned green.

He really doesn't want to hear these two words now.

In a short time, the old lady prepared meals for a dozen people and set up a simple table.

The dish on the table is simple, a cabbage soup.

There was also a large pot covered with a lid, and steam was coming from the side.

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but lifted the lid, and suddenly, a scent came to his nostrils.

It was only then that everyone saw that there was a pot of meat in the jar. The meat was cut into square pieces, which made people drool.

Li Er said happily: "Zhu Qing, I didn't expect to be able to eat meat here, everyone, hurry up and go to Hu County when you are full."

Crash.

Everyone picked up the bowls and chopsticks one after another, feasting on them.

Changsun Wuji praised repeatedly: "This is the best meal of meat I have ever eaten in my life!"

"What Master Changsun said is very true, but I don't know what it is, it is so delicious."

Chen Shuda nodded: "This meat has a lot of fat. It's not mutton or donkey meat. It's so weird, it's so delicious!"

Everyone quickly forgot the unhappiness of the pig-hunting brigade chasing after them, and praised the meat one after another.

Li Er was curious, so he called the old lady over and asked, "Old man, what kind of meat did you cook for us?"

The old lady was embarrassed, and said with some fear: "Your honor, don't blame me, just now you said that it would be better if there is meat, but there is no other meat at home, only a piece of pork brought back by the child's father yesterday, so I cooked the pork, If you feel that something is wrong, I will return the money to you right away."

pork?

Li Er and the others all stared wide-eyed.

This turned out to be pork?

Everyone is stupid.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, but then they all became confused: "Is this pork? Why is it different from the pork I know?"

"I also ate pork when I was marching and fighting, but it was very unpalatable. Why is pork so delicious today?"

Li Er stared at the old lady, laughed, and said: "Don't be afraid, old man, we don't mean to blame, but I just have something to ask. Raising pigs consumes the most food, but ordinary people can't even eat enough for themselves, and there is no surplus food to raise pigs." , your family even raised pigs?"

The old lady hurriedly said: "I have no food at home, and I don't raise pigs. The kid's father bought this pork from a pig farm in Hu County. Now that pig farm slaughters hundreds of pigs every day. Rich and big families don’t eat it, but those who build roads for Anhu Avenue, those who work on farms, and people in the county government eat it themselves, and sell the rest to the common people. The price is very cheap, and mutton costs three It costs ten renminbi a catty, and pork only costs five renminbi a catty, and you have to queue up to buy pork every day, and you can’t buy it when you go to play.”

Li Er showed doubts on his face, and asked hastily: "You mean, many people have started to eat pork?"
