Dugong is polite, Xiaosheng can't stand it

No matter how pitiful the scholars are, they are powerless. The food and grass for disaster relief have long been arranged, and the disaster in Changning City is the worst. If there is no food and grass, the people in the city will definitely not be able to bear it.

Zhao Jun calculated the food along the way, most of the food he brought was to be transported to Changning City, and some of it was consumed by the team, especially the team led by Xue Yu to escort the food and go to suppress the bandits, the supplies were essential.

In this way, there is really no surplus food to help other refugees. They walked all the way, and when they stopped to rest and recuperate, Zhao Jun would take off his official uniform and ask those refugees about their affairs. The scholar is a poor scholar who mixed with refugees. It is not obtrusive, and it is convenient to inquire about things.

It is inevitable that food prices will rise during this disaster, but each county should store some food every year to prevent natural disasters. Now that the disasters are rampant, but the local government has done nothing, one can imagine where the money went.

Zhao Jun thought that the emperor didn't deal with these officials, not because he didn't know, but because there were too many county officials involved. Once he ordered a thorough investigation and punishment, it would make the situation even more chaotic.

Corruption and bribery by officials in the Southern Zhou Dynasty was serious, and the official system was connected, so it was inevitable that officials would protect each other.

If you want to enter Changning City, you must pass through Daxuan Mountain, and the bandits are hiding in the area of ​​Daxuan Mountain, so Xue Yu ordered his subordinates to be vigilant when they arrived here.

The terrain of Daxuan Mountain is complicated, Xue Yu has been paying attention to the movement around him along the way.

There is a group of people lurking, holding swords and ready to move.

"When shall we do it?"

"Wait a minute, this time the head of the family has ordered that the leader and official must be captured alive. After a while, a group of people will find a way to lure the guards away, and the rest will catch the official as soon as possible. By the way, the food and grass must also be taken away. !Did you hear me."

"heard it!"

"Get ready to do it!"

Taking advantage of the complex terrain around them, those people were slowly approaching with bowed waists and sharp swords in their hands.

Whoosh whoosh, these people jumped out of the forest and rushed towards the scholar and Xue Yu. The guards rushed to the front to stop these bandits who suddenly appeared, and the scholar hid far behind the guards. At this time, a group of bandits suddenly appeared behind them.

In any case, the goal of the two groups of people is on the scholar.

Zhao Jun's horse was startled, and was suddenly attacked, and the people under him became a mess again. Xue Yu was about to chase Zhao Jun, but Zhao Jun yelled: "Food is important!"

Xue Yu had no choice but to quickly direct the people under his command to protect the food for disaster relief. These bandits are very cunning and know how to use complex terrain to cover themselves. But it was also very difficult.

After Xue Yu covered Zhao Jun's people who escorted the food to leave, he directed the rest of the people to leave.

And Zhao Jun didn't know how to ride a horse. The horse was well-trained, and Xue Yu was beside him. It didn't matter whether he grabbed the rein or not, and he didn't dare to pull it anyway.

The horse got into the woods and didn't know where to go. The scholar was so frightened that he held the rein tightly with both hands, and his body was shaking on the horse.

With a whoosh, an arrow pierced the horse's neck. Before the scholar could react, he heard the horse neigh, and he fell off the horse.

"Go!" Liu An grabbed the scholar on the ground and ran away.

Liu An covered the scholar and ran to the forest behind, but the scholar was dragged by Liu An and staggered towards the depths of the dense forest, ignoring the mud and the thorns of the thorns in the forest.

"Let's run separately, so as to distract them." The scholar said panting.

"Okay, then you have to be careful!"

The two ran in two directions, the scholar ran, looking back from time to time, but no one was chasing him, but his cheeks and hands were scratched with thin wounds by the branches, and he hadn't noticed such small wounds. wounded.

(11) Captivity

ah!The scholar stepped on the ground and rolled down a small slope. It was a coincidence that when he slid down, he hit the stone and fell unconscious immediately.

The scholar was a little dazed by the bump, and it took him a while to get up from the ground, clutching his forehead that was hurt by the bump, there was no wound, just a bulge.

The clothes were covered with mud and grass clippings, he patted his body, where should he escape.

At this time, a black shadow flew down from the slope, flew over the scholar's head lightly, and jumped in front of him.

"Follow me obediently." The man in black suddenly pointed his sword at the scholar's neck sideways, the blade was too close and scratched his neck.

"I'm just a poor scholar, what do I do with a small student?"

The man in black pointed his sword at his chest, and picked out his cloak: "Poor? This cloak of brocade silk and mink should be used as tribute brocade and white mink."

The scholar subconsciously grabbed the cloak on his body. Yesterday he had some typhoid fever. Xue Yu thought that he would be weak and get sick and delay the trip, so he lent his cloak to him. Who knew that the cloak was so precious.

The sword rested on his neck again.

"Don't move, go!"

The scholar was caught by the man in black and walked in the direction he asked.

But after a few steps, several men in black jumped out and blocked their way.

"If you hand over the person now, we won't be entangled anymore, otherwise I will kill you together."

The man in black who was holding the scholar protected the scholar behind him and said, "Then stop talking nonsense."

Isn't this the same group?

This one wants to arrest him, and those people also want to arrest him?what's the situation.

The scholar thought that he hadn't caused any trouble or offended anyone, so he didn't care, and he ran away in the chaos after a while.

The group of black-clothed men who came out halfway didn't seem to pay attention to this man due to their large number of people, and approached step by step with weapons in hand.

The scholar was waiting for the opportunity to escape, and occasionally he turned his head quietly to find a way to escape.

They swung at the masked man with their knives, and the masked man blocked the sword horizontally. At this time, another man slashed at him with a knife. The masked man had to dodge to protect himself and loosened his grip on the scholar.

After only a few rounds, he found that the abilities of this group of people were not weak, and he could handle one or two, but it was really difficult for him to deal with so many people by himself.

But he still persisted, but even the scholar could see that he was no match for these people at all. Several people attacked him at the same time, and the masked man in black was not their match. The masked man was knocked to the ground and covered The black cloth was soaked with blood, and he had no strength to fight back.

The scholar knew that the time when they were fighting fiercely just now was a good time to escape, but he couldn't take a step forward, he couldn't walk, if he left, the masked man would definitely be killed, anyway, he was going to die anyway.

The scholar yelled, "Wait a minute!"

The masked man shouted, "What are you doing!"

The scholar shook his head again and again: "No, nothing."

Xiaosheng can't be ashamed like this!

The scholar stood in front of the masked man and said, "What you want is my life, killing one more is not good for you."

The masked man lying on the ground opened his eyes wide and looked at the weak scholar standing in front of him in disbelief. Why did he save him?

The leader looked at him jokingly, played with the blood-stained knife, and suddenly pointed at the scholar: "Now I have the final say."

The scholar was startled, his hands were cold but he was sweating profusely. It seemed that he had lost his life even if he was not saved.

But those thieves suddenly put back their knives and said, "What I want is your life. I don't care about his life. Get out."

The scholar turned around to help the man up. His injuries were so severe that it was difficult to even stand up. The scholar pulled him up and pushed him to the direction behind him.

"move."

"You are such a fool." The masked man cursed softly.

The masked man turned his head slightly, paused for a moment, then staggered away from that road.

The scholar watched him go away, feeling a little relieved, at least one person was saved, he felt that the masked man was not a bad person, he really hoped he was not a bad person, this would not be in vain to save his life.

After running for so long just now, he suddenly felt that his throat was uncomfortable, and the scholar couldn't help coughing twice.

The leading thief looked at the scholar with a smile, with pride and arrogance in his eyes as if he had caught prey: "I didn't expect the governor of Dongchang to be just a sick child."

The scholar clenched his hands secretly, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, but he soon calmed down, the person they wanted to kill was actually Xue Yu.

The man in black raised his knife to the scholar. Under the sun, his blade shone with a silver-white light, which was a bit dazzling, but the scholar stared at him intently.

The scholar seemed to be looking at something that had nothing to do with him, and there was no fear or dying struggle in his eyes.

The knife fell...

The scholar watched the knife cut towards him...

when!The knife fell straight down, but it was already broken into two pieces. The scholar was safe and sound, but a strand of hair was cut off.

"Who is it! How courageous!" The leader threw away the useless knife in his hand angrily, and shouted angrily.

In the chaos, the scholar only felt a heavy blow on the neck, which caused a dull pain, and he fell to the ground as soon as his vision went dark.

Daxuan Mountain Liufeng Village——

"Brother, why did you save him!"

Originally, in the forest, he should have killed the scholar in front of him!I didn't expect my elder brother to come over and save this poor scholar at this time!

Lu Changyu couldn't figure it out, thinking about it, they stayed on the Dabie Mountain for so long, they didn't do little when they robbed houses, they killed countless people, and their elder brother was able to handle things clearly, so why did they have to intervene in this matter today.

Lu Changyu's eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to eat the scholar in front of him alive!Even if he is the person his brother wants to protect!

"Chang Yu, in the past, you killed countless people, why did you ever take care of it? But today, this person must stay!"

Lu Changfeng was the black-clothed Meng who kidnapped the scholar back then.
