Chapter 314

Shen Mu was so frightened that he turned his back quickly, and Xu Ziling also turned his back quickly. Seeing that the woman was only three or four inches shorter than him, Shen Mu threw a bundle of clothes towards her, saying: "Clothes They are all clean, pick them out and put them on, we won't peek."

After listening to Suo Suo, the village girl shyly said in a moment: "It's changed!"

Both Shen Mu and Shen Mu turned around, staring blankly for a moment, thinking to themselves that she is so good-looking.

This village girl is about [-] years old, her eyes are dark, her skin is very fair, she wears men's clothes, she has a special charm.

The village girl waved at Shen Mu and the two, and said in a low voice, "Follow me."

Shen Mu and the two looked back at the war horse that was foaming at the mouth and was dying, sighed inwardly, and let her go with a sense of regret.

After walking for half an hour, the village girl led them to a hidden cave on the mountain. After the two of them sat down, they bowed their heads and said, "Thanks to the two heroes for their righteous rescue. The little girl is very grateful."

The two of them were honored as heroes by her, and they immediately floated as if they were in the clouds. At the same time, they were surprised that this woman did not look like a village girl, nor did she speak like someone who grew up in a remote area.

The pretty village girl saw the two people's eyes wide open, with puzzled expressions on their faces, and realized that although the two were tall and tall, they were actually just two older children younger than herself. Her shy heart was greatly reduced, and she said softly: "My slave's name is Su Su, she is not from Zengjia Village, but because she was separated from her master, she fled there and was kindly taken in by Zengjia Village people!"

It turns out that this woman is Susu, the close maid of Zhai Jiao, the only daughter of Zhai Rang, the leader of Wagang Village.Because they got separated from Zhai Jiao on the way, they met Shen Mu in Liujia Village.

Shen Mu said in relief: "Miss Susu is so beautiful, no matter if she has good intentions or not, there will naturally be many people vying to take you in."

Su Suqiao blushed and said softly: "My lady is Zhaijiao, the only daughter of Master Zhai Rang. Our team was attacked that day and got separated in the chaos, but my lady is very skilled in martial arts, so it should be fine. Now we should go back to Xingyang."

Zhai was known as the "big dragon head" and was the leader of the Wagang Army. Six years ago, he rebelled in Wagang Village with another fierce general Xu Shiji. Failed to expand power.

Last year Li Mi joined Zhai Rang, which doubled Zhai Rang's strength. Li Mi defeated the Sui army at Dahai Temple in Xingyang and attacked and killed Zhang Xutuo. People and horses respect him as a big leader, which is indeed no small matter.Unexpectedly, this beautiful sister is actually Zhai Rang's daughter's maid.

Shen Mu said: "Isn't Xingyang located a hundred miles east of Luoyang, the eastern capital? It's so far away from here, how could Miss Susu sneak here?"

Susu replied: "Miss wants to go to Liyang to listen to the opera sung by Shang Xiufang, the most talented woman in the world. How could I have missed the news and something happened before I arrived in Liyang. If I hadn't been so fast, I would have never met you here. "

At this moment, a light cough came from the entrance of the cave.

The three of them were shocked when they heard the sound, and looked towards the entrance of the cave.I saw a tall and majestic man in his twenties and four years old, walking in.

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling jumped up and stood in front of Susu.Shen Mu took a closer look, and lost his voice, "Aren't you the one named Li Jing?"

The person who came was Li Jing, who once reprimanded the head of the Green Turban Army. He was not handsome, with a rough face, but his nose was straight, his forehead was broad, and his eyes were shining, giving him the impression of being steady and resourceful.

Li Jing smiled slightly, showing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, which formed a strong contrast with his dark and rough skin. He nodded in surprise and said, "I am Li Jing. This little brother has really good eyesight. At that time, there were at least 150 steps between you and me." From such a distance, you can recognize Li's appearance, so you can call out at once. But judging by your skills, you don't look like someone who has practiced martial arts, this is indeed very strange."

The two felt awe-inspiring, this Li Jing deduced so many things based on Shen Mu's words, which shows his insight and wisdom.

Su Su trembled from behind and said: "At most, I will go back with the heroes, and don't hurt them."

Li Jing laughed and said: "Just based on Miss's words of affection and righteousness, I, Li Jing, will fight to the death to protect you. Don't worry, you three, I only came here alone. Then the boss of Qi has been shot and killed by Li in secret. Evil people will only harm a few more people if they stay in this world."

Shen Mu cupped his fists at the Li family and said, "Brother Li, please sit down."

Li Jing untied the bow and arrow on his back, put down his saber, and sat down among the three of them. After everyone was seated, he smiled and said, "I should have come earlier, but it took me so long to sweep away the hoofprints and footprints for you." Take some time."

Shen Mu secretly praised Li Jing for his careful thinking, worthy of being a general, and said apologetically, "We didn't expect this."

Li Jing patted Shen Mu's shoulder happily, and gave a thumbs up with the other hand, saying in praise: "Being brave in the face of righteousness and not afraid of strength is the behavior of a good man. It's even more rare that you are young heroes, with such courage, wisdom and skill, you will surely be the best in the future." Extraordinary."

Then he said to Susu: "Young lady's riding skills are very good!"

When Shen Mu heard Li Jing's praise of Susu's miraculous achievements, he was taken aback for a moment, then saw Susu's happy face, and said in his heart: "Hey... It seems that I think too much..."

Su Suqiao blushed, and said: "Will those green scarf soldiers blame the people in Zengjia Village?"

Li Jingruo said nonchalantly: "This is the second reason why I am late, and that is to release those innocent villagers. Boss Shaqi and his lackeys are just drinking a few sips of hot tea."

Although Susu was happy, she was also shocked that he didn't take killing people seriously.

Li Jing said indifferently: "You can get a horse if you kill someone, but you only brought two horses, because you didn't expect that the young lady is not from the Zeng family village, but now that you see the young lady, you know that you still owe one horse."

After Li Jing looked at Shen Mu carefully, he said earnestly: "This is an era of great chaos. In the confrontation of swords and soldiers, you will die or I will die. Those who are not cruel enough will be eliminated. So as long as we recognize the goal and set the goal One's own principles, distinguishing between right and wrong and black and white, and the righteousness of friends and enemies, can be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth."

"Exactly! Brother Li, good advice!" Shen Mu nodded in agreement.

Su Su said: "Are those of you who haven't been killed still looking for us?"

Li Jing smiled and said: "The main reason is to find me to settle accounts. Although Du Fuwei is famous, he is not a material for fighting for the world. It’s a trick to quench thirst by drinking doves. At first I thought he was a character, but now I can see it through.”

Shen Mu and Li Jing chatted for a long time, Li Jing obviously thought highly of Shen Mu, and said solemnly: "Looking at the current situation, although rebels are everywhere, there are not many outstanding people. The most popular one is now the "big leader" "Zhai Rang, but Li Mi, Zhai Lord's general, is more powerful than him, and he is well versed in the art of war. If he doesn't know who is the master, something will happen in the future."

Su Susu changed his mind: "Then what should we do?"

Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Miss, if you believe Li's words, you will leave Zhai's family from now on, so as not to cause disaster in the future."

Su Su said sadly: "The maidservant was sold into Zhai's family since she was a child. At that time, the master was still a law officer in Dongjun County. Later, he was sentenced to death for killing the son of a powerful man, so he came out to fight for himself. And the young lady treats me like Sister, how can I abandon her just like that?"

"...Miss Susu is really loyal, I admire you." Shen Mu cupped his fists at Susu.

"I don't dare to be a little girl." Susu blushed slightly and waved her hands quickly.

Li Jing continued: "Besides Zhai Rang and Li Mi, Wang Bo, Dou Jiande and Du Fuwei are the most powerful in front of us. These three forces are the most... hey! The most promising."

Su Su asked: "Brother Li has left Du Fuwei now, what plans do you have in the future?"

Li Jing asked without answering, "Where are the three planning to go?"

Susu lowered her head and said: "I want to go back to Xingyang to find Miss, and ask her to remind Master to beware of Li Mi."

Shen Mu replied: "We are going to Luoyang, the eastern capital."

Li Jing nodded and said: "I also want to go north, since that's the case, I'll send the three of you along!"

When night fell that day, Li Jing and Xu Ziling rode together, while Shen Mu and Su Su rode together.

Shen Mu put his arms around Susu's pretty waist, leaning against her pink back, smelling her body fragrance, feeling relaxed and happy.

Firstly, Su Su was still trembling with fear, and secondly, she became Shen Mu's younger brother, although she felt some intimacy with that kind of contact, but it was not strong, so she never imagined that this kid Shen Mu was enjoying it.

A few days later, Shen Mu and the others first sent Susu back to Xingyang, and then rode their horses into the outer suburbs of Danyang County.

Jiangdu Yangzhou City is the last big city where the Yangtze River branch flows into the sea. From here to the west, there are two important towns along the river, Danyang and Liyang.

Because Liyang fell into the hands of Du Fuwei, the traffic on the Yangtze River was immediately cut off, and Danyang was the first to be in a hurry.

But Li Jing pointed out that it was not easy for Du Fuwei to subdue Liyang. He only had a little spare energy to invade some neighboring towns and towns that had no resistance.

The second is that Yang Guang still controls the three most important strategic cities in the country, the capital Daxing, the eastern capital Luoyang, and the coastal Jiangdu.

Since the opening of the three major canals, Guangtong Canal, Tongji Canal and Yongji Canal, the north and the south have been united, and water transportation has also closely connected the three important towns, so that the new forces of the Sui Kingdom can be quickly transferred to the south to suppress the rebellion.

Assuming that Luoyang was the eastern capital of Emperor Yang, then Jiangdu in Yangzhou would be his southern capital, both of which must be contested and must be defended by Emperor Yang.

Therefore, Sui soldiers will spare no effort to keep Danyang, so as not to harm Jiangdu.

It can be seen that Du Fuwei's occupation of Liyang was actually a turning point in the struggle between the rebel army and the Sui army.

The closer to Danyang, the more tense the situation becomes.

I saw warships sailing from Jiangdufang to Danyang, and the Sui army even set up checkpoints to prohibit martial arts figures from approaching Danyang. Therefore, people who went to Danyang kept turning back, and it was rumored that Danyang had closed itself.

Fortunately, they didn't intend to go to Danyang at all. They sold all three war horses in a nearby county and made a small fortune. This money was nothing to Shen Mu, but it was a fortune to Xu Ziling No small fortune.

Li Jing had something to say goodbye to Shen Mu and the two and left. Shen Mu and the two came to a restaurant and ordered a jar of Nurhong and a few dishes of side dishes.

At this time, five people came in from the restaurant, all wearing knives or swords on their bodies, and the one with bright eyes was a young girl in the age of sixteen or seven, who seemed to be in bud, and she was very beautiful.

The old man in the lead was short and fat, with a mighty expression, and when he walked in, his eyes fell on Shen Mu.

The other three are young people in their twenties, with a strong physique, one of them is very handsome, taller than the other two, standing shoulder to shoulder with the beautiful girl, with an intimate attitude.

Seeing that Shen Mu and Xu Ziling were looking at her with the eyes of thugs in the market, the young girl looked at her without turning their eyes, and the angry look flashed across their pretty faces, and they turned their heads away in disdain, leaned close to the handsome and tall young man, and went to the table.

Shen Mu saw that the girl "has a beautiful woman", and Shen Mu and the two of them were flying around, their clothes were covered with dust, so after eating, they wanted to go to a bathhouse to take a bath and change their clothes.

However, there seemed to be no bathhouses in this city, and Shen Mu thought that bathing and changing clothes could also be done in a kiln, so Shen Mu took Xu Ziling to a Yihong Courtyard.

As soon as the two entered Yihong Courtyard, a bustard dressed like an old monster greeted them, and the two immediately gasped.

When the bustard saw them, she immediately frowned.It's not because they look like weeds, she has seen many more tender guests than them, but it is the first time she has seen guests who look like them with unkempt faces.

Xu Ziling offered the silver taels, but the bustard didn't even look at it, and said disdainfully: "Didn't you see the sign at the entrance that says 'I don't welcome those with disheveled clothes'? If you want our girls from Piaoxiangyuan to entertain you, just Let me go back to take a bath and change clothes first, and then come again!"

Shen Mu held his head high, and said with a sassy smile, "Aside from spending money, we came here mainly to find a place to bathe and change clothes."

The bustard wondered: "You don't even have half of your luggage, where can you get a change of clothes?"

Shen Mu calmly said to Xu Ziling: "Brother, pay a lot of money for this elder sister to find us two sets of clothes."

Xu Ziling reluctantly took out a quarter of his net worth in silver taels and handed it to the old bustard.

The bustard immediately put on a smile, accepted Xu Ziling's tip again, and said respectfully, "You two young masters, please come with me."

Shen Mu listened to her rouge-smeared bloody mouth spit out the word "Nujia", her hair ducts were hard all over, a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she was about to take a step when a voice came from behind: "Aunt Chen! These two Which aunt is the young master looking for?"

Shen Mu turned around in astonishment, and looked back, only to see a pretty girl standing behind them, followed by a pretty maidservant and two strong men, who happened to be looking at the two of them with those charming eyes with a smile on her face , with an even more seductive figure, with a flirtatious look.This woman has a fair complexion, a well-proportioned figure, and is beautiful and gorgeous. Even in a fireworks resort like Yangzhou, such a youthful and radiant woman is rare.

Shen Mu stared dumbfounded for a moment, and the old bustard greeted her immediately with open eyes and a smile, and said with a flattering smile: "It turns out that my lovely daughter Shishi has returned, Uncle Lu and the others have been waiting for you all night."

Shi Shi looked at Shen Mu and Shen Mu up and down, and said with a chuckle: "It's just getting dark, how could they wait for the whole night? But if they continue to wait, it will be the whole night."

While talking, he walked up to the two of them, circled around them, and said with great interest: "Is this the first time for the two little brothers? I saw you at the slave's house just now, but I am in the carriage , you can’t see me!”

The old bustard put on a smiling face, came up to accompany her and said with a smile: "The two young gentlemen are going to the bathhouse, so I'd better go and greet Uncle Lu and the others obediently!"

Shi Shijiao snorted and said: "Miss, I will only accompany these two young masters tonight." Putting her arms around Shen Mu's shoulders, she said, "Come on! Follow me!" Then she ordered the little maid to get the bathing supplies, Leave the bustard in the hall.
