[Rebirth] Landscape and pastoral

After dawn, Xiaoguan's colleagues found that he hadn't come back yet.Today they still have the task of collecting food from the villagers.Now that people haven't come back, something must have happened.He knew that his colleague was a womanizer, and he might have been caught stealing incense and jade somewhere.

So Xiaoguan's colleagues panicked and reported the news of Xiaoguan's disappearance.

"The guy who didn't succeed enough and failed more than nothing." The general was very angry when he learned about it. At this juncture, don't bring trouble.So he ordered people to look for the missing officer.

Aunt Wu and the others hid in the tunnel tremblingly. Although there was no sound from outside, this was the most disturbing thing.Xiaoyue held onto Qin Shi's clothes tightly, although she was precocious, she was also very strong.But when she encountered such a thing, she was still frightened.

Xiaoguan's comrades led people to search around the village, but found nothing.He thought about the little official's usual whereabouts, and brought someone directly to Wu's house, only to see the stiff little official in the courtyard.And this family has been empty, and these defeated soldiers suddenly panicked.

To be able to silently kill a person who has been killed for a long time like this, it must not be an ordinary person.And still under their patrol, just ran away.

"Search for me, they must not have left the village yet." The leading general felt that they must still be in the village, and if these people really ran away, they would be in danger.

"Yes, General."

After the people were sent out, the generals and generals came for them, and after discussing with them, they decided to search for some food and evacuate quickly.Regardless of whether the family escapes or not, Sanshui Village can no longer stay.

The soldiers drove the villagers out of their homes and searched them one by one.The villagers were gathered in the open space of the village, and many of them were close together, looking at these bandit-like soldiers in panic.

Because these remnants of defeated soldiers entered the village for a few days, and they have been living in peace. Apart from being unable to leave the village, they have not seen them harassing the villagers.So everyone relaxed their vigilance, and now that they were kicked out of their homes, few people had time to hide in the tunnel.

"Mr. Jun, what are you going to do?" The village head tremblingly stepped forward and asked a leading general.

"Last night, people in your village killed a hundred of our households, and we are arresting the murderer."

"Even if you want to catch the murderer, you don't need to take my family's food. It's life-saving food." A villager obviously didn't believe what they said. When the soldiers entered his house, they went straight to the kitchen.

"Damn it, don't talk nonsense, we get your pointers when we do things." The general was exposed and glared at the villagers.

These people searched around the village, but did not find much food.The villagers regard food as very important, and usually hide it tightly.Fortunately, this is the case, so these people did not succeed.

"General, what should we do? The food is not enough to support us to Fucheng."

The leading general looked at the food collected from the villagers' homes. They were basically coarse grains, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and wild vegetables, and the amount was not large enough for them to march.What's more, the sum of these is not as much as the Zhang family's grain storage, the general obviously doesn't believe it.

"No matter what method is used, let those unruly people hand over the food." Now that the team has rested and the limelight has almost passed, they should go to Fucheng to meet the commander.

"Yes, General."

When Zhang Zirui and the others arrived, they saw the soldiers forcing the villagers to hand over their food.The village chief was tied up and hung from a tree, with a lot of blood on his body.The relatives of the village chief looked at the dying village chief with red eyes.The village head's daughter-in-law cried so much that she couldn't bear to see her husband.

Weeping softly came from the crowd, Er Zhu held Er Zhuang tightly, telling him not to be impulsive.Two fists are no match for four hands, and the strength gap between the two sides is too great.But as a big family in the village, Erzhu was soon dragged out by the soldiers.

"Let go of my father, what's the difference between you and those robbers?" Er Zhuang tightly protected father, knocking the two soldiers who were pulling people to the ground.Wen Qixin was guarded by his older brothers, afraid that he would inadvertently inflate his fetus.

"Boy, you don't want to live anymore, do you? We fought on the battlefield to protect you, and now we just want you a little food." A commander said, waving the whip in his hand at Er Zhuang.

"Speaking better than singing, you don't want a little food, you just don't give people a way to survive." Zhang Zirui snatched the whip from the commander-in-chief and threw it on the ground. "People like you are more disgusting than robbers."

"Who are you?" The commander looked at the man who appeared suddenly, and panic flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Zhang."

Er Zhuang and Xiao Shitou, who had been tightly held by his family, shouted in surprise when they saw Zhang Zirui's eyes lit up.Although Zhang Zirui was alone, the villagers saw him as if they were a savior.

At this time, Ping An also rescued the village chief and handed him over to the village chief's daughter-in-law who was almost crying.Then, under the grateful eyes of the village chief's relatives, he brought Situ Junhao to Zhang Zirui's side.They moved so quickly that the soldiers were caught off guard.

"Quickly, take down these rebels." The commander asked the soldiers surrounding the villagers to step up, and then hurriedly reported to the general.They are people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, otherwise they would not be able to escape from the rebels.

"Hmph, come on, come together, I will let you know about Lord Ma's three eyes today." Wen Qi'an said, and rushed forward with a sword.

"Xiaohao, follow me well. I'll let you see today, your little uncle's ability." Wen Qiping still knows how to take care of Situ Junhao.But he is still a child now, but he is pretending to be old.However, the child behind him seemed calmer than him.

Situ Junhao knew that the imperial court was corrupt, but he never expected that his Situ family's law had reached such a point.Look, this is the soldiers of Dalu, how is it different from bandits and robbers?

As a member of Situ's family, he felt heartbroken for Dalu's decline and decay.He feels deeply guilty about these suffering people.In the end, it was all the fault of his Situ family.

"Well, I will take good care of my little uncle." Master and apprentice Jun Hao nodded firmly.He hasn't studied art for a long time, and his force value is obviously not as good as the two guys in Ping An who are about to be upgraded from children to demon kings.

"Brothers, we will fight them. We have Big Brother Zhang and them here, so we are not afraid of them." Er Zhuang was holding his breath just now, and now he can finally let it out.

"Yes, I'll fight them." Xiao Shitou, the Zhou family, and the Niu family boys shouted, and jumped on them like a tiger coming out of the slaughterhouse.

Soon the two sides fought into a group. Compared with the ferocity of the Pingan brothers and the ferocity of Xiao Shitou and the others, although there were many soldiers, those soldiers were very timid.There are raging soldiers and generals raging in a nest. There is a general who is afraid of death and runs away before he resists. The soldiers are not much better.

"It's almost impossible to survive. I will fight with them." The villagers were infected by the enthusiasm of these teenagers and resisted one after another.Tian Butou mixed in the crowd and quietly attacked those soldiers.As long as they don't meet the leader, these ordinary soldiers don't know him.

Seeing such a chaotic scene, Aunt Yan protected Wen Qixin even more.Wen Qixin had never seen such a scene before, and was a little scared.

Zhang Zirui snatched the weapon from the soldiers and threw it to Xiaoshi and them.Without weapons, they were at a disadvantage.

"Brother Zhang, thank you." These half-sized boys took the fruit weapons and thanked Zhang Zirui with a smile.

"Let me see if you have made any progress in your martial arts recently." Zhang Zirui smiled like a spring breeze, but his moves were like cold wind.

"We won't let you down."

Hearing Zhang Zirui's words, Xiao Shitou and the others were even more excited. Each of them wielded the weapons in their hands freely, shuttled between the battlefields with agility and ease, and killed their enemies to the ground.Obviously, during this period of time, their martial arts improved a lot.

The leading general stopped staying at Zhang's house when he heard the commander's report.He gathered all the soldiers and rushed to the open space in the village.There are still hundreds of people in their line, and they seem to be quite imposing.

The general thought it was just the people who were forced to resist, but when he arrived at the scene, he realized that these were not ordinary people.But so what, his men are not vegetarians, although they can't beat the rebels, but they won't lose in such a small village.

"Give these traitors to me to be executed on the spot." The general looked at these villagers with cold eyes.To him, these people are just like ants.

"Kill, kill, kill—" the soldiers shouted, raising their gleaming weapons.

Seeing such a chilling scene, the villagers were frightened and began to cringe.If only Zhang Zirui and the others faced these people alone, there would be no pressure at all.But there are still many old and weak women and children here, and it is a bit difficult to protect everyone.

"Don't panic, everyone, keep the elderly and children in the middle. The reinforcements will arrive soon, so don't worry."

Zhang Zirui saw that there were more people on the other side, so he ordered the villagers to get together and let Xiao Shitou and the others disperse among the villagers so as to protect everyone.The villagers were in a mess. If there were not big families like the Zhou family and the Niu family who had to deal with it, they might not be able to gather the villagers together for a while.

"Come on." The general waved his hand, and the imposing soldiers approached the villagers.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on those soldiers, they swallowed nervously, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.Xiao Shitou and his newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, but licked their lips excitedly.

At this moment, a pale blue figure passed over the heads of the crowd, and landed beside Zhang Zirui lightly.The joining of Wen Qiwen relieved a lot of pressure. "Brother Rui, King Wuping's army will arrive soon."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

The surrounding villagers secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that there were indeed reinforcements.But those remnant soldiers and defeated generals stopped for a moment.

"Hurry up and get rid of these people, let's retreat." The general looked cold, just wanting to make a quick decision.

It was only when the two sides fought each other that King Wuping's army stationed in Panshan County rushed over.Under the attack of both sides, those remnants and defeated generals were beaten to the point of being powerless to fight back.The generals of these people were finally captured alive, and King Wuping's army hurried away with the prisoners after winning the victory, because they were not strong enough to leave the station for too long.

Seeing King Wuping's army training leave quickly, Situ Junhao felt a little complicated.Because this is likely to be a big threat to his father, if this team continues to expand, what will happen to his father's situation?

The corpses and bloodstains left behind can only be cleaned up by the villagers. The village head was injured indistinctly and needs to be recuperated for a period of time.The village head is not too young, and he is still seriously injured like this, and if he doesn't do it well, it will leave the root of the disease in the future.

Zhang Zirui not only treated his wound, but also left a lot of medicinal materials behind.In today's chaotic world, the price of medicinal materials has also doubled.Whose family has a headache and brain fever, and they can't look down on the doctor at all, so they can only use earth prescriptions.

The village head's family couldn't care about anything at this time, and kept thanking them.At that time, it was fine to save one's life.It's just that after this incident, the villagers respected the village head even more, and they didn't think much of him.

When the remnants of the defeated soldiers were about to ask them where their food was hidden, it was the village chief who bravely stepped forward to deal with them.Even though he was whipped by those people later, he didn't tell us where everyone hides food, let alone that every family in the village has authentic tunnels.

Now there are not many people in the village, and the world is not good.If people in this village are fighting with each other and dismantling each other, life will be even more difficult.

The Pingan brothers also stole the limelight this time, and were warmly adored by all the children in the village.Even Wen Qifang, the youngest son of Wen Chengqian's family, came to them.

"Well, cousin, can I also learn martial arts from you?" After he finished speaking, he blushed with embarrassment, lowered his head and looked pitiful.

"It's fine, but you have to make sure that your mother won't cause trouble or make noises." Wen Qiping looked at the sixth cousin and nodded.

"Okay, I promise. If my mother messes around, I'll tell my father." Wen Qifang raised his head in surprise, and showed a bright smile at Wen Qiping.

"Okay, then you can go to Brother Er Zhuang to teach you in the future, and I will tell Brother Er Zhuang."

Wen Chengqian stood in the crowd, watching his youngest son chatting with the Wen family brothers from a distance, and did not intend to stop him.Now he also sees it, it is not easy for this person to live, why should he care about what is there or what is not.

Thinking about it, he glared at Mrs. Wang and said, "You don't need to ask about Archie's affairs in the future, and you are not allowed to say anything about Ah Wen and the others, or you can pack up your things and go back to your mother's house."

Wang's face was aggrieved, she didn't say anything, she didn't do anything, not to mention she was not stupid.

Aunt Wu, who had been hiding for nearly a day in fear, finally came out of the tunnel.Aunt Wu didn't see Xiang Bei, so she was very worried.Only after this question did I know that Xiang Bei was injured.Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwen told her not to worry, and when Xiang Bei's injury healed, they would send him back.

The Zhang family and the Wen family were messed up by those remnant soldiers and defeated generals, and a lot of medicinal materials in the medicinal fields were also ruined.There is no food left at all.This made Wen Qiwen wish he could catch up and stab those bastards a few more times to relieve his hatred.

Xiaoyue was also frightened by this incident, Zhang Zirui prescribed some shock medicine for her.And let Aunt Qin continue to help with housekeeping, tidy up the house, and he will also deliver food.

Qin was a little hesitant. The Zhang family's house was too nice and eye-catching, and it always attracted people with malicious intentions.Zhang Zirui also saw her embarrassment.He can't force it, after all, building such a house in this poor mountain valley is indeed too attractive.In the end, Aunt Wu kept them to live in Wu's house, and they would go over every day to help with the reorganization, which solved the problem.

Xiangbei recuperates in Taoyuan Valley, which is rich in spiritual power, which is also good for the recovery of injuries.So here is another person who is amazed by the uncanny craftsmanship and beauty of Taoyuan Valley.After Xiangbei recovered from his injuries, he was sent back to the Wu family by Zhang Zirui.Aunt Wu felt relieved when she saw that her son was not only fine, but also gained some weight.

After returning to the north, Xiaoyue felt grateful for his rescue and made some needlework for him.Xiang Bei blushed and accepted it with embarrassment. Xiaoyue didn't think much about it at first, but now she was embarrassed by Xiang Bei.

Aunt Wu and Qin just pretended not to know, they watched these two children grow up, and they knew everything about it.They are good boys, and it would be best if they could be together.If you don't have that fate, don't force it.

In the blink of an eye, two years later, King Wuping's army was in full swing, heading north all the way. After King Cheng, it became another major force that could contend with the imperial court.It's just that after the battle line is stretched, his rear strength can't keep up.

The imperial court is corrupt, and there are not many officials available after attacking the next place.King Wuping was born as a general, and he couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes.Although the siege is powerful, the defense of the city has become a problem.Moreover, every city needs troops to be stationed, so King Wuping's troops are obviously insufficient, and the food and grass cannot keep up.

Although the officials who were appointed by King Wuping were upright and honest, they were too pedantic and dull, and they were easily deceived.You can't see anything in a short period of time, but after a long time, you are not as good as those people who are a little bit greedy but not bad.

Although King Cheng was not the heir apparent, as the youngest son, he was loved by his father and emperor, and he also received royal education since he was a child.King Cheng's army in the northwest had already started farming, and with Zhang Zirui's help, they never went hungry even during the severe drought.

King Cheng knows how to use people well, and his subordinates also know how to use and restrain those officials, so they don't have the same troubles as King Wuping.Even in terms of the reason for sending troops, King Cheng is much more upright than him.King Wuping is not a member of the royal family, even if he raises troops, he will be said to have stolen the world.

Although King Cheng's power did not seem to be developing as fast as King Wuping's, it was steady and did not develop rashly.In the place ruled by King Cheng, it is recovering quickly.The law and order in these places is stable, the people live in peace, and various types of talents also have their own places to play.

But now that King Wuping is short of troops, if he wants to continue to compete in the world, he can only conscript troops and collect taxes from civilians.Taxes are okay, anyway, they are less than those collected by the imperial court.It's just that conscription is indeed a problem. In recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have killed many people.After that, the imperial court forced many soldiers to be recruited, and now the remaining labor force in various places is not enough.

At the beginning, King Wuping brought all the prisoners out of the prison, and according to the crimes they committed, they were assigned to the Qianfeng Battalion and other places to serve as cannon fodder.Then he ordered the safety of various cottages.But this is just drinking poison to quench thirst, and eventually you have to recruit soldiers from all states and counties.

Sanshui Village also failed to escape the fate of conscription this time, but Tian Butou, who lives in the village, got the news in advance.When the conscripts arrived, all the strong laborers in the village hid in the mountains.

Because King Wuping's men were not familiar with the surrounding situation, many people died in recent years.It is not uncommon for a small village like Sanshui Village to have only old and weak women and children left.So Sanshui Village escaped a catastrophe.As a result, Tian Butou's family gradually integrated into the village and gained a foothold in the village.

After Situ Junhao knew this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Now it seems that King Wuping will not be his father's opponent.But in any case, under the rule of King Wuping, Panshan County is still a lot more stable, and the villagers can also have a chance to breathe.

Taoyuan Valley

"Lele, let's go catch fish." Haohao is now three years old, although he is small, he can be very noisy.

"No, I'll get sick, Father spanking." Lele shook her head violently, looking like a good baby.

"As long as you don't get discovered, it's fine. Father and father took my uncle and the others to hunt." Haohao's eyes turned straight, and he took Lele with him. Even if he was discovered, as long as Lele cried, his father would definitely Relentless.

Lele tilted his head with a look of embarrassment, and he promised his father to be a good child and be obedient.But catching fish looks very interesting, so he really wants to go. "Okay then, but only for a while."

"Okay." Haohao nodded, and the two little guys were holding hands and preparing to catch fish in the small fish pond where my father raised fish.

"Where are you going?" Feng Chen, who was washing clothes, saw two naughty boys going out, and hurriedly stopped them.

"Grandpa Feng, my brother and I went to see the little rabbit." Hao Hao smiled innocently at Feng Chen.

"Go, don't run around, you know?" Feng Chen was successfully confused by Haohao, he thought to himself that the rabbit circle is not far away, he can see it here, so it should be fine.

"We got it." Haohao and Lele nodded obediently, and then the little brother held hands and walked towards the place where the rabbits were kept on the gravel path paved by his father on his short legs.

"What should we do, Mr. Feng has been staring at us?" Lele stood outside the rabbit circle, looking nervous like a thief.

"It's okay, when he doesn't pay attention, we'll go quietly." Hao Hao said while sneaking a glance at Feng Chen.

Seeing the two children looking at the rabbit very obediently, Feng Chen smiled. It was true that they were children who naturally liked small animals, so he relaxed his vigilance.So the two little bean dings took the opportunity to run away quietly, happily all the way to the edge of the small pond.

"Haohao, how do we catch fish?" Lele frowned, looking at the sparkling water with a sad expression.

"I'll look for it, I remember my uncle hid the fishing rod by the pond." Haohao said, looking around the pond with his butt pouted.Finally found a fishing rod, but they didn't know how to use bait, so they didn't catch a fish for a long time.

"It's boring, Lele, let's go play in the water." Haohao said, threw the fishing rod casually, took Lele's hand and left.So the two went to the creek not far away to play in the water together.

The creek is very shallow, and the deepest point is only up to the knees of the two. The creek is full of strange rocks, and transparent shrimps are hidden between the crevices of the rocks.

"Haohao, look at Xiaoxia, catch him quickly."

"Okay, look at mine."

"I'm coming, I'm coming, it's coming to my side."

The two little guys were splashing happily in the water, their clothes were all wet and they didn't pay attention.But the child's attention is always easily distracted, just now they were excited about catching shrimp, and after a while, the two were attracted by the beautiful stone again.

After Feng Chen finished washing his clothes, he realized that the two little naughty boys had long since disappeared.So he hurriedly asked Zhang Ming and Daoshi to help him find it. Although there were no wild beasts in this valley, there was still danger for the two energetic children who were only three years old.

Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwen came back with Bai Yu and Ping An, and another group of people turned their backs on their backs.When Zhang Zirui found the two little guys, he was both angry and funny.The two little brothers were already playing dirty at this time, like pigs rolling out of the mud, rubbing the mud all over their heads and faces, lying on a flat grass and sleeping soundly.
