Chapter Thirty-One: Disappointed

The general cried: "General Liao Yongzhong and His Highness Prince Xiao Ming were originally talking. Who knew that Prince Xiao Ming burst into tears when he talked about the Queen Mother and Prime Minister Liu? General Liao comforted and said to take Prince Xiao Ming out for some air, but Prince Xiao Ming unexpectedly burst into tears.

When we got to the boat, we accidentally fell into the water." Dakui said angrily: "What did you do?" The general said sadly: "I was following King Xiao Ming at that time. King Xiao Ming fell into the water and I was too late to rescue him." Dakui couldn't care less about complaining.

The general also looked anxiously at the river, unable to do anything.

After a long time, Liao Yongzhong and several boatmen emerged from the water. After someone helped them onto the boat, Liao Yongzhong ignored being soaked and walked to Da Kui, knelt down in pain and said in pain: "General Zhang,

The young general is incompetent. Prince Xiao Ming was not found in the water." Upon hearing this, Dakui sat down on the deck as if his body had been drained of bones.

With the death of Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er, the last hope of the Jiangbei Red Scarf Army was shattered. The Song Dynasty that Liu Futong worked so hard to manage ceased to exist. This short-lived Song Dynasty was the "Post Song Dynasty" in history.

At this time, Dakui was sitting on the side of the ship as if he was lost. Prime Minister Liu Futong and other generals died in the battle. King Xiao Ming fled to the Yangtze River and drowned. Now Dakui was about to die of sorrow.

Thinking of drinking and chatting with the generals, and thinking of fighting together on the battlefield, tears shed on Da Kui's face. Liu Fu Tong's voice and smile were so kind and friendly. He was invincible on the battlefield, but thanks to Liu Fu Tong's orders to demonstrate his martial arts,

He personally explained everything one by one, and that was how Dakui became what he is today.

Thinking again of Jia San who died in the battle, he was cut into pieces by a thousand cuts. In the past, he laughed and cursed, but Dakui felt that he and Jia San were really as close as brothers. How could we just say that they were gone? He still owed me ten taels of silver...

….

Feng Biao followed him down the mountain, and he had made great achievements in the military. Who would have thought that Eagle Mouth would be killed in battle, but the body of King Xiao Ming, who risked his life to protect him, was drowned in the Yangtze River, and his body could not even be found in the capital.

Dakui sat beside the boat like this until the boat docked. The general came over and said, "General Zhang, the boat has docked." Only then did Dakui wake up as if from a dream, stood up and got off the boat. Everyone went to another boat to lead the boat.

They lost their horses, but they were all at a loss as to where they were going.

The generals couldn't help but ask Dakui: "General Zhang, what should we do?" Dakui remained silent, and one of them said: "Why don't we go to Wu Guogong together? Isn't General Zhang acquainted with Wu Guogong's general Tang He, and he can introduce him to him.

"

At this time, Dakui's heart was pounding, but he was a little afraid of experiencing any more flashes of swords and swords. He couldn't help but said: "You all should follow General Liao. I'm tired. I want to find a place to relax by myself."

The general asked in confusion: "General Zhang, won't you come with us?" Da Kui said with a silly smile: "I want to go for a walk by myself, you go ahead. I will come back to you when I have a chance in the future." Seeing that Da Kui refused to leave, the general led him

The other red scarf soldiers followed Liao Yongzhong's men and gradually moved away.

Dakui led Hongyun and walked aimlessly. He didn't know how long he walked, but it was getting dark. Dakui still led the horse forward. When passing by a small village, he felt hungry and found a farmer's house. He picked up the horse.

He was tied to a wooden stake in front of the farmhouse and came to the farmhouse to knock on the door. The door opened, and a young man in gray trousers opened the door. When he saw Dakui covered in armor, he couldn't help but asked nervously: "General, what's the matter?"

Dakui said: "I got hungry when I got here. Is there anything to eat? I'll give you money." Seeing that Dakui is a military man, the young man didn't dare to refuse: "Then you come in." Dakui couldn't help but follow the young man into the thatched cottage.

Look around.

If a house is said to have four walls, then this is it. The house is surrounded by earthen walls, and the one worshiping Emperor Guan in the main hall is actually Lord Guan. There are three black pottery bowls placed on a long bench under the portrait, and the bowls contain cakes, pears, and dates respectively.

There is another room on the left with a closed door and a curtain. There is a pot stand built in the corner on the right, and a large pot is covered with a wooden lid. There is a large vat next to the pot stand. Da Kui guessed that the vat was

It stores grain just like my own grain tank. The tank is also covered with a lid and some sundries are piled on it. There is also a low table beside the tank, with two small stools placed upside down on the table, and there is nothing else.

When the young man entered the house, he went straight to the big vat, took a big bowl from the vat, stretched out his arm and wiped it with his sleeve in the bowl. Then he reached out and lifted the lid of the pot, stood by the pot, and took out some sweet potatoes from the pot.

Put it in a bowl. He turned around and placed a large bowl of sweet potatoes on the low table next to the vat. He also took off the small stool from the table and placed it beside the table. He said: "General, my family is poor. These are the only sweet potatoes we have. General, I will

Let’s eat some more.”

Dakui smiled and said, "It's good to have some sweet potatoes." After that, he walked over and sat down. He was not polite. He grabbed the sweet potatoes and wolfed them down. After eating a bowl, he asked, "Is there any more?" The young man hurriedly took the empty bowl.

He took it over and filled another bowl. After repeating this process three times, the young man blushed and said there was no more.

Dakui still said, "Forget it if you don't have it." He stood up and said, "I'm going to get the money." The young man said hurriedly, "General, you don't need any money for some sweet potatoes." Dakui ignored him and went out to get some from Hongyun's saddle bag.

Qianbao returned to the thatched cottage and said, "I said I would give you money, how can I keep my word?"

Dakui rummaged through his money bag and found that there were twenty taels, ten taels, and five taels of silver and gold ingots. Only then did he remember that he didn't spend money in the army in the past. He didn't have any loose silver coins with him.

What should I do? In the end, I had no choice but to take out a five-tael ingot and put it on the table and said, "I'll give this to you." The young man's eyes immediately went straight.

It was getting late at this time, so Dakui said: "I'll stay one night tonight and leave tomorrow morning. Do you think it's okay, little brother?" The young man nodded hurriedly like a chicken pecking at rice. Dakui walked to the bench again and sat down, looking around.

Asked: "Who else is in your family?"

The young man said: "I am the only one left at home. My mother left last year." Dakui asked: "Where did she go?" The young man was stunned, and then his eyes were red: "He died of illness." Dakui couldn't help but think of his mother and lowered his head.

Silently.

The two were silent for a long time, and Dakui asked: "What is your name? You see it took me so long to come in without asking." The young man said: "My name is Wang Ergou. People in the village call me Goudan. I am a fisherman.

"Dakui couldn't help but said angrily: "I came in here looking for something to eat, why don't you give me fish to eat?"

Zhang Ergou said hurriedly: "I haven't fished for a few days. I have been working for Wang Yuan's family in the town these days. I just came back today." Dakui said with a smile: "Oh, in that case, I don't blame you. I also have a surname.

Zhang's name is Zhang Dakui, and my folks in my hometown call me Silly Dan." Zhang Ergou was immediately happy when he heard this, Goudan meets Silly Dan!

What is this place?" Zhang Ergou said: "This is called Yuwa Village, which belongs to Guabu Town. It is on the boundary of Yingtian and Earth." After a pause, he asked again: "Where is General Zhang going?

When Da Kui heard Zhang Ergou ask this question, he lowered his head and thought, "Now that my mother has passed away and the Song Dynasty has been destroyed, are you going to find Brother Tang? Should you continue to live a life of swords and swords?" When he thought of so many brothers who died in the battlefield,

Da Kui felt a burning pain in his heart. 'It's better to go find the master and stay on Tiantai Mountain without any worries. From now on, I can chat with Wu Jie from time to time.' Thinking of this, Da Kui said, "I'm going to find my master."
