"Load all the heads into the car, find something to cover them with, and then go to visit Huo after a short rest."
"yes!"
He took another sip of wine from the bowl.
There is a saying, although Zhang Biao is not a thing, he soaks well in wine.
He must have mixed honey with the wine to add a touch of sweetness to the spirit, added velvet antler and other medicines, and drank it to feel comfortable all over.
After the killing, have two bowls to replenish your vitality.
boom!
At this moment, Huo He suddenly fell down.
"Mrs. Huo!" Shen Xin was shocked and quickly asked someone to help her lie down.
Gai Yue, who was proficient in medical skills, took her pulse: "My body and mind were traumatized. I was in crisis before, and my mental tension was still manageable. Now that I'm relaxed, I can't bear it anymore. I'll just sleep for two days."
Zhou Che didn't listen at all, his eyes were staring straight at Huo He's white legs exposed from her skirt...
It wasn't until Gai Yue turned around that he suddenly came back to his senses!
He rubbed his eyes violently to keep himself awake: "Do you feel that there is something wrong with this drink?"
"Something's wrong?" Gai Yue pondered for a moment and said, "It's indeed quite strong, and I can swing the sword with more force."
Come on, follow the sword for the rest of your life!
Zhou Che gave up communicating with him, looked at Shen Xin again, and took back his words.
The head of the Shen family is already pitiful enough, I can't hurt him anymore...
"cough!"
He covered the jar of wine and handed it to Gai Yue: "Find someone to put it away. Don't let everyone drink it. There's something wrong with this thing."
"As for the others, please rest first after finishing your work."
"Yes." Gai Yue agreed and then asked, "What about you?"
"I'll go check out Hongxue's place."
Zhou Che quickly left the lobby and controlled his gaze not to glance randomly.
Being the leader can be romantic, but you still have to have a bottom line.
After all, Huo can be regarded as a servant of the royal family.
If you don't even spare your family members, who will sacrifice their lives for you?
Besides, Zhou Che is not that hungry, simply because there is something wrong with the drink!
Soon, he found Qian Hongxue in the forest behind the mountain.
"Owner."
Qian Hongxue was wearing a loose black robe. Because she was searching at night, it was quite hot.
She then opened her black robe, revealing the tight-fitting attire underneath: a fiery red waistcoat and top, a skirt with slits above the knees, and her long whip hanging on her thin white waist.
Seeing Zhou Che coming, she quickly saluted.
"No need to be formal." Zhou Che grabbed her hand and asked, "How is the situation?"
"Cleaning is over."
In the darkness, Qian Hongxue's eyes were sharp: "The few fish that slipped through the net were all killed by the people below with iron crossbows."
"Are you tired?" Zhou Che asked.
She took a step forward, her graceful figure squeezed against Zhou Che, and breathed hot air against his neck: "I want to be tired~"
"Little hoof!"
Zhou Che reached around her back and slapped her buttocks.
"Turn around and hold on to the tree trunk."
"Hmm~"
On the tree trunk, there are several rows of tooth marks...
The next day, early in the morning, Zhou Che led people to Huo's.
The Huo family is in vain.
Huo Pingzhang sat slumped on the cart. This old soldier who used to fight on the battlefield now looked decayed and as angry as dead wood.
"Father, grandpa is here." Huo Zeyou, dressed in white, came over.
Behind him, followed an old man who was over seventy years old.
The old man was dressed in washed white Confucian clothes, and his old eyes were red.
There are more than a dozen carts behind them, which are the grains that Mrs. Huo sent to support the He family the day before yesterday.
He was still holding several ancient books in his hands, and his chapped mouth trembled: "This book is worth a lot of money. A few years ago, the third prince asked someone to buy it for a lot of money, but I never sold it to him..."
Huo Pingzhang's throat was stiff: "Sir... how can those thieves recognize your family's treasure?"
"If he doesn't know, does he want to just sit and watch my daughter die!?" Master He suddenly became excited.
Huo Pingzhang lowered his head and sighed: "I am incompetent..."
"The situation is like this. Her mother and daughter even tried to help my He family when something happened, so how can we blame you?" Mr. He stroked the book repeatedly, with sorrow written on his old face: "Is it really useless... "
Great Xia promoted filial piety and honesty, and studied the scriptures. This kind of annotation of Confucian scriptures passed down from family to outsiders is the most precious.
Even the princes and ministers of the current dynasty came to ask for the book, which shows its value.
But so what?
In today's chaotic Hedong, the treasure is worthless!
"metropolitan."
A disciple announced: "The head of the Wu family of the Wu family in Anyi is here."
Huo Pingzhang had difficulty moving, so Huo Zeyou went to greet him immediately.
The head of the Wu family came in, bringing more than twenty cartloads of money and food.
He first saluted the coffin, and then said to Huo Pingzhang: "General Huo, my condolences."
Huo Pingzhang nodded: "Master Wu is interested."
His turbid eyes glanced back at the cars: "Master Wu, this is..."
"I have heard about the misfortune of Madam." The head of the Wu family sighed: "The world is difficult nowadays, and I really can't do much. Please don't take offense at General Huo."
Huo Zeyou's eyes turned red and he immediately knelt down: "Thank you so much, Mr. Wu for your generous rescue!"
"It's absolutely impossible!" The head of the Wu family hurriedly supported him: "The Huo family has been a general for generations and is a popular family in Hedong. We have also been protected by the Huo family. This is all what we should do."
Following this person, several other nearby tribes came together to join the family.
Huo Pingzhang sat on the cart and thanked everyone: "Everyone, please take back all the money and food."
Everyone's expressions changed: "General, what are you doing?"
"Do you know how much food the thief wants?"
"How much?" Zhu Jia's eyes narrowed.
"Wan Shi."
After spitting out these two words, Huo Pingzhang seemed to have exhausted all his strength and his body collapsed backwards.
Everyone was stunned, and then they were all furious!
"Is Zhang Biao crazy?!"
"Ten thousand shi of grain, let alone this year, which is the season of peace, how many people can afford it?!"
A strong man's monthly ration is only two dan, and ten thousand shi of grain is enough to feed five thousand strong men for a month.
In this calamity year, tens of thousands of grains are needed, which is equivalent to thousands of human lives...
This figure made the owners of the wealthy families in the field completely despair.
They came to support the Huo family. First, as the head of the Wu family said, the Huo family was kind to Hedong and had great popularity.
As for the second one...
"We can't wait to die!"
Another person came to the door. He was quite tall and had several scars on his face. He had an angry look on his face: "They even dare to attack the Huo family, let alone us?"
"When the Huo family falls, it will be our turn next!"
The head of the Wu family looked at the visitor: "What do you mean by Brother Yi Zhao?"
Zhao Chuang also served in the army in his early years and served under Huo Pingzhang.
He and the Huo family had a close relationship with each other as former masters and former ministers.
"Fight them!" Zhao Chuang gritted his teeth and said with a fierce look on his face: "With the hundreds of people under Zhang Biao, it is not difficult to eat him!"
"After Zhang Biao is killed, the young master will take the lead. We will recruit people from each family to form a rebel army. We will support the court externally and attack Li Guo internally to find a way out!"
Hearing this, the heads of each family were moved.
But soon, this thought quickly disappeared and turned into boundless fear!
If they had faced Li Guo a few years ago, they might have been able to fight.
But what about now?
Li Guo's power became stronger and stronger. This time Guo Zhenyue raised his arms and sent out more than 100,000 troops!
And now that they have trouble even eating, what can they do to fight against it?
Huo Zeyou, on the other hand, had murderous intent in his eyes and turned to his father: "Father!"
"Quit your thoughts!" Huo Pingzhang glanced at him coldly: "The imperial troops are divided into two groups. The second prince is fighting across the river and has to face the entire east of the river. It is absolutely difficult to win."
"As for the Sixth Prince... don't mention it."
"With people like us, we can't even feed our families. How can you persuade people to work hard? How can you subvert the overall situation?"
"Why do you think they wanted to attack me, the Huo family, first? The purpose is to force us to take action, and then each family will respond, and then uproot all the clans and annex them all!"
"Zhao Chuang, and all the family heads, Huo Pingzhang appreciates your kindness."
He sighed again: "Go back, leave the food rations, and count every day you can live..."
Everyone was in mourning and speechless.
Huo Zeyou clenched his fists: "What about mother?!"
"metropolitan!"
"Master!"
At this moment, a member of the Huo clan ran over in a panic, surprised and delighted: "The mistress is back!"
"What!"
The whole hall was shocked and in disbelief.
