The teenager is very arrogant

Chapter 12 The Thief Zhou Cang
Resting on the spot for nearly 10 minutes, Xin Zhao was worried that the pursuers would arrive, so he hurriedly sent all the soldiers to go north.After several hours of running around in smoke and dust, he finally caught up with Tang Jian and Tang Yu, who were guarded by Zhu Tong, on the official road full of refugees.

Sitting in the carriage, Tang Yu kept opening the small curtains to look out. She was the one who saw Xin Zhao for the first time.

Xin Zhao came back safely, Tang Yu couldn't help crying immediately, Xin Zhao hurriedly dismounted and approached to comfort him.

Because his life was saved by Xin Zhao, Du Jiang also expressed his deep gratitude, so he followed Xin Zhao with more than 60 officers and soldiers.Xin Zhao's father-in-law, Tang Jian, also has some family background. When it was stable before, there were nearly a hundred servants in the mansion.The fleeing group, together with the previous guard Tang Jian, died and scattered a lot.When Du Jiang and his group came, Tang Jian was still able to support them.

Among the soldiers who escaped together, one of them was stabbed in the leg, and he didn't notice it when he was running for his life. The blood flowed continuously and the injury was even worse.

Xin Zhao was extremely sympathetic, and gave up the horse to the soldier, and led the horse to walk by himself.

This scene made everyone in Du Jiang praise Zhao Xin's benevolence, admiration and gratitude in their hearts.Along the way, Tang Jian and his group looked too conspicuous.After all, rich and noble families look much more luxurious in terms of clothing and driving.

It was inevitable that some poor people took aim at the Tang family's convoy. Fortunately, during the day, Zhao Xin and Du Jiang carried halberds and spears, accompanied by blood-soaked soldiers, and these people did not dare to covet them.

At night, because of hunger and cold, these poor people had no choice but to break through their inner moral restraints and stretched out their hands to the rich and noble people around them.

Xin Zhao was originally a data figure, he didn't need to rest, and he fled outside. Xin Zhao was really worried about Tang Jian and Tang Yu, so he sat outside the carriage, leaning against the pillar, and flipped through the store equipment in his mind.

Unexpectedly, someone really dared to reach out into the carriage!

"Bold thief!" Xin Zhao shouted, and the thief was so frightened that he lost his mind for a while and froze on the spot.

At this time, the soldiers sitting around suddenly raised their spears and spears and surrounded the thief tightly. Tang Yu and Tang Jian, who were squinting in the carriage, also woke up and opened the bed. Curtain to see what happened.

"What's your name, why do you do this theft?" Xin Zhao asked, jumping off the carriage, holding the man's skirt with one arm.

At this time, the soldiers found torches and lit the surroundings.

The thief was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in ragged clothes, unkempt, even if the thief was caught on the spot, with the surrounding spears pointed at him, he did not panic and remained calm.

"My name is Zhou Cang." The boy said with his head held high.

"Hey! You're a good boy. You were caught stealing something, but you were so calm. Do you want to punish him?" Du Jiang came out and looked Zhou Cang up and down.

Xin Zhao smiled when he heard this kid calling himself Zhou Cang!It seems that God favored me, so soon I met Zhou Cang who was fighting against Guan Gong, hehe, good luck.

"No matter how poor I am, Zhou Cang, I know that a man cannot steal. However, the old mother at home is seriously ill and has not eaten for many days. As a son of man, I have no choice but to do so. Since I have been arrested, I will do as I please. "Zhou Cang said with his head held high.

Du Jiang snorted coldly, and said: "Since that's the case, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, I should cut you off as a warning to others! Come on!"

"Slow!" At the critical moment, Xin Zhao stood up.Just kidding, although Zhou Cang is not a general, he has nothing to say to Guan Gong.Guan Yu and Guan Ping were defeated in Maicheng, captured and beheaded by Sun Quan, and Zhou Cang jumped into the city to die. Loyalty is a pity. Zhao Xin likes such talents very much.Not to mention ability, but this character, Xin Zhao likes it to death.

"Du Jiang, let's take Zhou Cang into custody first, and then investigate whether what Zhou Cang said is true. If it is false, he will be executed immediately. If it is true, I have my own idea." Zhao Xin ordered.

Du Jiang and the rest of the soldiers all depended on Xin Zhao’s luck to have their lives today. Now that all the food, drink, and food came from Xin Zhao’s father-in-law Tang’s sword bag, they already regarded Xin Zhao as the upper-level leader in their hearts, so naturally they wouldn’t have anything to do with it objection.

Immediately follow orders.

Speechless for a day.

Early the next morning, when the sky was just getting brighter, the motorcade and a group of people continued to move north.After about half a stick of incense, Du Jiang and several soldiers caught up with them on horseback, leading an old woman with a pale face and a ravine in her face.

Du Jiang said: "Zilin, what Zhou Cang said is indeed true. This woman is Zhou Cang's adoptive mother. Zhou Cang fled with his parents when he was about ten years old. Unfortunately, during the escape, both parents contracted tuberculosis. Died of illness. Afterwards, Zhou Cang was raised by Wang. The Yellow Turban Army disaster, Wang's own three sons fled for their lives, but Zhou Cang, as an adopted son, took his admiration for Wang to seek life together. No matter how hard it was, Zhou Cang would not abandon him. It is for benevolence and filial piety."

After hearing Du Jiang's words, Xin Zhao hurriedly dismounted from Qing Cong's horse, supported the old woman and said, "Old woman, you have cultivated a big man and a good man."

Seeing that Xin Zhao was wearing white armor and surrounded by dozens of guards, the old woman knew that Xin Zhao must be a high-ranking official, she was nervous and wanted to kneel down to salute, Xin Zhao hurriedly helped her up, her attitude was extremely amiable.

But he didn't want to, this scene happened to be seen by Zhou Cang who was brought up with ropes all over his body.

"Old lady, you really have a lot of merit, Zhou Cang is really a dragon and a phoenix among men, I want to use him, but I don't know how to respect you?" Xin Zhao said with a chuckle.

Hearing this, the old lady Wang couldn't control a smile on her face, but because of Xin Zhao's status, she didn't dare to show it, she just nodded repeatedly, unable to say anything excited.

Yes, in this day and age, who can look up to people from poor backgrounds?What's more, Zhou Cang can't even write his own name, and only knows how to farm. Wang can't even imagine that his adopted son will have the fortune he has today.

Seeing this scene, the two soldiers who were holding Zhou Cang untied Zhou Cang's rope tactfully.

Zhou Cang approached excitedly, supported Wang, and the mother and son cried.

After crying for a long time, Zhou Cang turned around, clasped his fists solemnly, knelt down on one knee, and bowed to Xin Zhao, "Thank you for your kindness, Zhou Cang is willing to swear to follow the Lord to the death, whether there is life or death."

Xin Zhao looked up to the sky and laughed, bent down to help Zhou Cang up, Zhou Cang thanked again: "Thank you, Lord."

I thought it was over, but I didn't want Zhou's mother, Wang, to kneel down and thank Xin Zhao.

"Madam please get up quickly."

At this time, Tang Yu got off the carriage with a smile, supported the old woman's arm, and asked to ride in the carriage together, but the old woman quickly declined.

Xin Zhao is not allowed, must sit.

This scene made Zhou Cang even more grateful, and after another salute, Zhao Xin said helplessly: "Zhou Cang, this is a trivial matter, so don't be wordy. '

At this point, Zhou Cang called Zhao Xin his lord and followed him all the way to the north.

Half a month later, Zhao Xin led Du Jiang and others to Zhuojun, Youzhou.

In half a month, Xin Zhao's team was also robbed by several bandits successively, but these bandits were just good people who had nowhere to go and gathered in the mountains.Whenever this kind of situation occurs, there is always a heads-up challenge.

Without Zhao Xin, Du Jiang, Zhu Tong, and Zhou Cang took turns to attack, and within five rounds, they would behead the opponent's leader or capture him alive.

Without haste, the reputation of Zhao Xin's group was already established, and among the fleeing people, many who could not survive came to follow them.When they arrived at the gate of Zhuojun, Zhao Xin's team had expanded from a hundred or ten people to nearly a thousand people.

As the team got bigger and bigger, Tang Jian became more and more annoyed!Why, because these people came for Xin Zhao, but it was Tang Jian's family who supported them. As the head of the Tang family, how could Tang Jian not feel distressed and angry when he saw the gold, silver and food flowing like water.

Tang Jian also talked to Xin Zhao about this issue.

However, Xin Zhao advised: "Father-in-law, unity is the only way to survive in chaos. Look at our long convoy, only a few dozen people guard it. If we encounter larger or smarter bandits, we will You can't fight head-on. If you want to escape, how can you escape as fast as you have so much wealth? It's better than a strong man to cut off your wrist. Not only will you gain a good reputation among the people, but the Han court will not blame you for not guarding the city in the future. Yi Zhong opened the city and surrendered to the enemy. In addition, you can save part of the family business, so why not?"

Tang Jian thought about it carefully, and what Xin Zhao said made sense.In troubled times, there are people who have the strength, so I agreed.

Tang Jian spent more than half of his family property and finally arrived in Zhuojun safely. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the city. However, these people did not want to leave, because they had no food to eat, no clothes to wear, and died. It's just this month or next month.
