The middle-aged shopkeeper said mysteriously: "Changshan and Ye County are far apart. The guest officer is new here and doesn't know what to do. Zhao Zilong from Changshan visited corrupt officials in various counties and counties in Jizhou. He first warned them not to be greedy for money and harm the people. Anyone who doesn't obey will be warned."
He would be strangled and his family would be exterminated, so many county officials were frightened when they heard about Changshan Zhao Zilong and did not dare to take office. The officials were resentful and surrounded and suppressed Zhao Zilong several times, but Zhao Zilong was so brave that he was able to escape."
After listening to what the shopkeeper said, Deng Zhi understood a little bit. The young master Liu Qi came all the way to Changshan to look for Zhao Zilong. Zhao Zilong hated corrupt officials but was kindhearted and loved the people. He was considered a good man. No wonder Liu Qi was so anxious to come to Changshan.
Maybe if it's too late, a good man in Changshan will be killed by corrupt officials.
From what the middle-aged shopkeeper said, Liu Qi also understood Zhao Yun's situation. It must be that Zhao Yun, who was always upright in history, led Chang Shanyi to join the army and defected to Gongsun Zan. He had offended the government and joined the army for no reason.
Things have changed. Zhao Yun has been hunted down by the government several times and will definitely defect to Gongsun Zan as soon as possible. Liu Qi is thinking that he must rush to Changshan tomorrow, otherwise his trip will be in vain if he is too late. Zhao Yun is a brave and heroic man.
It would be a huge pity to be won over by Liu Bei.
Liu Qi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper, for telling me the truth. We still have to go to the street to purchase some items at night. We have to rush early tomorrow morning, so I won't bother the shopkeeper."
"My guest, please excuse me." The innkeeper bowed and left.
Deng Zhi seemed to see Liu Qi's urgent thoughts and said: "Sir, if you don't want to help the people, you don't have to buy clothes and rice. How about driving light and fast to Changshan tomorrow?"
Liu Qi thought that Jimin's benevolent and righteous actions would win the appreciation of the chivalrous Zhao Yun, and said calmly: "We still need to distribute some supplies to benefit the people. It won't be a hindrance."
Deng Zhi couldn't persuade her any more, so she followed Liu Qi and Huang Wudie to the night market in Ye County. They bought some coarse cloth and cooked food, fried some dishes at the night market stalls and had a few drinks.
After drinking a cup, I learned some about the local customs and went back to the inn early to sleep.
Returning to the inn, thinking about sleeping with the fit and youthful ancient beauty Huang Wudie on the bed of the Ye County inn at night, Liu Qi was full of expectations. This matter of men and women would be a matter of passion between young men and women.
Just like smoking opium, you become addicted once you take it.
Liu Qi is not a sage, let alone Liu Xiahui, who is still pregnant. When Liu Qi and Huang Wudie both finished washing up at midnight, Liu Qi hugged Huang Wudie and tried to have sex with him with a smile, but Huang Wudie pressed her forehead.
Rejected.
"Die'er, I want it." Liu Qi begged shamelessly, not wanting to be bullied.
"If you want it, do I have to give it to you?" Huang Wudie glared at Liu Qi, seemingly trying to whet Liu Qi's appetite.
Liu Qi acted like a rogue and said shamelessly: "Die'er, I only want it if you have it."
"What, there are women in the world, do you want them all?" Huang Wudie said coquettishly.
"As long as Die'er agrees, I can consider it." Liu Qi chuckled, as if he was now the most powerful emperor and could hold the world's most beautiful women in his arms.
Huang Wudie pursed her lips and smiled: "Young master, you have to be jealous. You are just a small county magistrate and you have a lot of bad intentions in your heart. If you become the emperor one day, it will be okay."
"Your Majesty, um, I love the country more than beauty." Liu Qi learned to walk with a graceful posture. If it weren't for the smile on his face, he would have looked a bit emperor-like.
"Okay, okay, I won't chat with you anymore, I have business to do." Huang Wudie said and was about to walk out of the room.
Liu Qi didn't care about that. He hugged Huang Wudie from behind, then moved his hands and rubbed Huang Wudie's earlobe with his mouth. He said softly: "I will do business with you now."
"Let go, young master, we really have something serious to do." Huang Wudie heard Liu Qi's heavy breathing, struggled for a while but couldn't break free, so she said seriously: "Sir, I bought some pieces of cloth at the night market, I have to sew them quickly.
I will give you some coarse cloth clothes and distribute coarse grains to the people tomorrow morning. Looking at the hungry and naked people, how can I have such a leisurely mind as a young master?"
When Liu Qi heard Huang Wudie's words, he couldn't help but let go, and sighed in his heart: "Die'er, Die'er, in the passionate night in the tent, you are a tiger and leopard's daughter, so fierce that I almost collapsed; but now it has suddenly changed."
He has become the Guanyin Bodhisattva who helps people in distress. How can he dare to have the unreasonable thought of sleeping with the Bodhisattva at night in Ye County?"
"Okay, I'll go to sleep first." Liu Qi felt lost and flopped down on the bed. If he had known this, he might as well have spent the night in a tent.
"Get up and come with me to cut cloth." Huang Wudie had no intention of sparing Liu Qi and stepped forward to hold Liu Qi's arm.
"Miss Die'er, please, let me sleep for a while, I don't know how to tailor." Liu Qi begged.
"Young Master is smart, and there is nothing you don't understand. Besides, I can teach you." Huang Wudie, half coquettishly and half arrogantly, pulled Liu Qi up from the comfortable bed and walked towards another room filled with cloth and food supplies.
.
Liu Qi looked at the pile of cloths in the room and secretly complained. This was a night of passionate ecstasy with Huang Wudie, but now he was dragged into doing hard work by Huang Wudie, and it was still an unpaid all-night shift.
However, Deng Zhi and the guards were very discerning. Seeing that Liu Qi was unable to escape, they took the initiative to come to the room where supplies were piled to help.
Huang Wudie spread out several pieces of cloth on the floor, drew the materials of the clothes with color powder, and cut a piece of clothing according to the pink line as a demonstration. The remaining pieces of cloth were handed over to Liu Qi and Deng Zhi for cutting. Huang Wudie
Dieqiao held the needle and thread in his hand, and the thread moved like a dragon. In a moment, he sewed a coarse cloth shirt.
There is strength in numbers. Under the guidance of a woman named Huang Wudie, the sixteen men quickly became familiar with cutting. After working on several pieces of cloth for most of the night, they finally finished cutting. However, Huang Wudie stayed up all night and rushed to make the pieces.
I bought hundreds of simple ready-made clothes.
The next morning, he rented a carriage and loaded it with Jimin's clothes and rice. Looking at Huang Wudie's eyes on the carriage that had turned red from staying up late, Liu Qi felt very distressed: "Die'er, on behalf of the people of Jizhou, I thank you.
Miss Huang, you have worked hard and the people will not forget you."
Huang Wudie showed a tired smile: "Come on, Master, as long as you don't forget, I'll be fine." After saying that, he lay down on the carriage and fell asleep.
Seeing Huang Wudie's lazy and sleepy look, Liu Qi sighed in his heart: "Die'er, why bother? There are so many suffering people in the world, can you take care of them? What you do is to honor the world.
My daughter’s family is truly Bodhisattva-hearted.”
"Sir, let's set off." Deng Zhi urged from the side.
Liu Qi nodded, waved his hand, and the carriage and guards hurried out of Ye County. Looking at the road to Changshan, Liu Qi's heart surged, "Zhao Yun, I'm here."
After leaving Ye County, the carriage traveled twenty or thirty miles. Huang Wudie rested on the carriage for most of an hour and woke up. Seeing two or three hungry people along the way, he immediately ordered the car to stop and blamed Liu Qi for not waking him up. "Sir, I've endured it."
I sewed hundreds of clothes in one night, but if you don't distribute them to the people, do you still want to take them back to Xinye?"
Liu Qi said with a sarcastic smile: "Die'er, don't I want you to sleep a little longer?"
"It's just your kindness." Huang Wudie glared at Liu Qi, knowing that Liu Qi felt sorry for him, but he felt warm in his heart as he said it. He took out a large bag of clothes from the carriage and distributed it along with steamed buns and dry food to satisfy his hunger.
The people who fled along the way were immediately grateful.
How can one hundred pieces of clothing be distributed? After walking another thirty or forty miles, the clothing and rice grains purchased in Ye County were distributed, but they did not expect that the people from various counties in Jizhou saw that two people had come to spread their wealth to help the poor.
The sleepy young master and young lady, everyone exchanged praises for a while.
When the people learned that Liu Qi and his party were going to Changshan to look for Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, the heroes of Changshan who had been hunted down many times by the government, hundreds of people followed Liu Qi's horse and carriage, presumably to voluntarily follow the young master Liu Qi to defect.
Zhao Yun.
Suddenly, so many hungry people came, and they didn't have enough clothes to protect themselves from the cold. Liu Qi's head was getting big. What was he going to do with his son and daughter? Liu Qi was going to recruit Zhao Yun's rebel army, but the people mistakenly thought he was going to defect to Zhao Yun.
Yes, it's all backwards.
Whether the people followed Liu Qi so blindly was because of Liu Qi and Huang Wudie's merits in distributing food, clothing and property to help the people, or whether it was because of Zhao Yun's virtue of robbing the rich and giving to the poor that attracted the people to join him. It was unclear at the moment.
Regarding so many poor people following you, Liu Qi lamented greatly. You have made a name for yourself by doing good deeds, but you have tired yourself out. With so many poor people following you, you can't drive them away.
Liu Qi thought of Liu Beilai, the hero in history who was famous for his benevolence, righteousness and virtue because he abandoned Xinyecheng but did not abandon the people. He felt ashamed. The people's will is the cornerstone of winning the world. How could Liu Qi be afraid of the large number of people?
Are you embarrassed by the trouble? Isn't this a great opportunity to make a name for yourself in the world and establish your virtue among the people?
"Brother Bo Miao, the people are so supportive, you and I must treat the people well. When we go to Changshan, we must not leave an old person alone or weak." Liu Qi dismounted and walked, discussing with Deng Zhidao.
Deng Zhi had a troubled look on his face: "My lord, thousands of people are following us. We are short of food and clothing, so it's hard to survive. If we go to Changshan, we will inevitably encounter soldiers and bandits, and I'm afraid it will drag down the people even more."
Liu Qi said: "I can't bear to abandon the people, why should I be said to be a drag? If a man is born in this world and does not make decisions for the people, he is no better than a walking corpse. How can he cultivate his moral character? Since he heard that Changshan Zhao Zilong is chivalrous and kind, he must have taken these men in.
People, Zhao Zilong will definitely get married when he sees that we love the people."
Deng Zhi was worried and said: "Young Master is benevolent and the people support him. However, I am afraid that Gongsun Zan will criticize these people for taking in them, and might even fight against him. I have done my duty for the people, and I have no regrets. Please think again."
?”
"This..." Liu Qi thought deeply for a moment. What Deng Zhi said was not unreasonable. If he took in these thousands of helpless people, it would definitely arouse Gongsun Zan's suspicion and hatred. Liu Qi taking in people on other people's territory would be taking away their family members.
The measures taken to reduce household and public sentiment are tantamount to a slap in the face.
"Master, I think you can tell the people who are following you that the money and food have been distributed, and we still have to go to Changshan to look for Zhao Zilong, and then let them disperse." Deng Zhi suggested.
"No, there must be no less people who follow you." Liu Qi shook his head and immediately rejected Deng Zhi's suggestion, but he had a strange idea in his heart. If Gongsun Zan and Liu Qi met with swordsmen, it would be equivalent to enmity with Zhao Yun.
The obvious truth, doesn't it push Zhao Yun to Liu Qi's side invisibly?
