This "Thunder Tiger" used to be arrogant and arrogant towards officials, but he treated these ordinary people with courtesy, which made Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai feel a little confused.
What kind of existence are these "bandit soldiers" who came from bandits in Pingliang County?
The more Liang Shanbo thought about it, the more curious he became. He was so bold that he even wanted to go to their camp to find out.
However, the old servant Liang Zhi hurriedly stepped forward and admonished: "Master, didn't you just see how that man treated the magistrate of Qingying County?"
"I think most of the bandits in Pingliang County are haters of officials and rich people. Master, your rich appearance will definitely arouse their jealousy. It's better not to cause trouble!"
Zhu Yingtai did not agree with the analysis of her old servant Liang Zhi. She retorted: "If these officers and soldiers in Pingliang County really hate officials and rich people, they could have refused to give it to us when they shared the horse meat. Why would they share it again?" Give us each a big piece of horse meat!"
Liang Shanbo also nodded and agreed with his wife Zhu Yingtai's analysis.
The old servant Liang Zhi could not stop the two of them.
Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai walked hand in hand towards Wang Erniu and others at the outermost edge of the crowd.
When they were able to walk nearby, Liang Shanbo and his wife were even more surprised.
The Pingliang County bandit soldiers, who had looked arrogant and unreasonable during the day, were actually reading at night with the help of a dancing bonfire.
"Fu Zhuanzhu's stab at Wang Liao was like a comet hitting the moon. Nie Zheng's stab at Han Puppet was like a white rainbow piercing the sun. Yao Li's stab at Qing Ji was like a Cang Ying striking at the palace. Che Ye's stab at Abe was like a thunderbolt. These four "You, my sons, are all men in commoner clothes, and your anger has not yet been expressed. Hugh Xi descends from the sky, and he and his ministers will fight for five years. If a man is angry, he will lay down two corpses, and bleed for five steps. The world will be pure, and this is the case today..."
The more Liang Shanbo listened, the more frightened he became, because Liang Shanbo had never heard of any of the names he heard just now, whether they were Zhuan Zhu, Nie Zheng, Yao Li and Che Ye.
Liang Shanbo hurriedly bowed and said to Wang Erniu and others who were studying at night: "I have disturbed you all in your studies. I am Liang Shanbo, who is studying in the south of the Yangtze River. This is Zhu Yingtai, a humble concubine."
Wang Erniu and his party, who were sitting around the fire, were shocked at first when they heard these two names, and then returned to their normal expressions.
Wang Erniu stood up and bowed as well, and asked with a smile: "Young master Liang and his wife are here, but what do you want to teach them?"
"I just heard the article you were reading was long and catchy, but I have some questions. Can I ask Commander Lei to clarify them?"
Wang Erniu laughed loudly and said: "To be honest, Thunder Tiger is actually not my name, but my nickname. My real name is Wang Erniu. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
"Xiao Kebucai has read several books, but has never heard of this article, and the four people mentioned in the article, Zhuanzhu, Nie Zheng, Yao Li and Cheye, have never been heard of."
Wang Erniu explained hurriedly: "This article is a textbook for the People's Education Press compiled by our great master. The four people in it, Zhuan Zhu, Nie Zheng, Yao Li and Che Ye, are all ancient sages."
With such a rustic title as "Big Master", Liang Shanbo and his wife subconsciously thought that it was Wang Aniu's name for Li Feiyu.
However, not to mention that Wang Erniu's statement about ancient sages could really be deceived by many people. Even the well-read Liang Shanbo and his wife were temporarily deceived.
When Wang Erniu saw Liang Shanbo, a cultural man here, he did not follow him politely. He asked the couple to sit down and said: "Master Liang, we brothers still don't understand many parts of this text. , could you please help me explain a thing or two."
Liang Shanbo also wanted to read the entire article and agreed immediately without refusing.
After Liang Shanbo finished explaining this article "Tang Ju Fulfills His Mission", at Wang Aniu's request, he took the opportunity to read several other texts that he did not understand well.
Liang Shanbo and his wife became more and more frightened and felt that they knew very little.
Whether it's Qu Yuan who talks about "Taixi" in the textbooks and expresses his sorrow for the hardships of people's livelihood by hiding his tears, or Fan Zhongyan who worries about the world's worries first and rejoices after the world's happiness, Liang Shanbo has never heard of any of them, and he has never heard of them. Pass.
Now Liang Shanbo and his wife have higher expectations for Pingliang County than for Pingjiang County.
They wanted to know what kind of person Li Feiyu was and why he knew so many ancient sages.
"Thank you Mr. Liang and his wife for interpreting the above texts for us today. We brothers and our team are very grateful." After saying this, more than 30 people saluted Liang Shanbo in unison.
"It's getting late. The young master and his wife should rest early. Erniu, I have arranged for people to guard the perimeter. We will escort you to Pingliang County safely."
Upon seeing this, Liang Shanbo and his wife also said goodbye to Wang Erniu.
When the two of them arrived at their carriage, they also found Liang Zhi, an old servant of the Liang family, coming towards them holding a wooden stick.
"Uncle Liang, where are you going?"
When the old servant Liang Zhi saw that the young master and his wife were safe and sound, he happily threw down the stick in his hand and cried: "Master, madam, you are finally back! I thought something unexpected happened to you!"
Liang Shanbo quickly stepped forward and comforted him: "The commander in charge of Pingliang County just now saw that I had read a book and asked me to help him explain some homework, so he was delayed!"
"Bandits can also read and write? This is really surprising!"
Zhu Yingtai spoke at this time: "I don't think the top and bottom of Pingliang County can be viewed with ordinary eyes. It's just that the leader is studying. I think the other soldiers all have a personal education textbook, and everyone My books are all crumpled, I will put some effort into them in the future!"
"Sir, this time I am even more curious about the magistrate of Pingliang County, Li Feiyu!"
The seemingly dull Liang Shanbo also nodded. Like his wife Zhu Yingtai, he was also very curious about everything in Pingliang County.
The night was uneventful, and early the next morning, Wang Aniu and the others distributed some food to the refugees who had no dry food.
After a hurried breakfast, more than 50 cavalrymen protected this large number of refugees fleeing towards Pingliang County.
Near dusk on the third day, with only two miles left to Pingliang County, a group of Khitan cavalry suddenly appeared.
This group of Khitan cavalry is even larger than the soldiers of Pingliang County, with more than a hundred cavalry, twice as many as the soldiers of Pingliang County.
The appearance of the Khitans immediately caused panic among the fleeing people.
Some of them couldn't help but think of the lies compiled by Hu Wentao, the magistrate of Qingying County.
"Oops, it can't really be what the Qingying County magistrate said. Those people in Pingliang County won't really sell us to the Khitan people as slaves!" A man on the run said worriedly.
Although the man's voice was small, it was like a bomb that detonated on the spot. Hundreds of people who had fled the scene suddenly panicked, and some even collapsed to the ground in fear.
Wang Aniu led more than 50 horsemen to meet the Khitan troops head-on, and out of them came a man who could speak Khitan. People started shouting after them from the distance.
"Look, some of the bandit soldiers in Pingliang County can speak Khitan. It seems that we are really in danger this time and will be sold as slaves!"
Liang Shanbo couldn't stand it, so he slapped the man who was talking nonsense twice.
Zhu Yingtai also began to comfort everyone in the audience, saying: "Don't worry, everyone. If everyone in Pingjiang County wants to sell us to the Khitan people, why did they treat us so well in the past two days and give us some food and meat?" eat?"
"Besides, if they want to sell us to the Khitans, why bother to draw out their swords and stand facing the Khitans!"
Indeed, as Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai said, the next second the man who shouted in Khitan dialect asked again in Chen Guohua: "We are soldiers under the command of Pingliang County, and we are escorting the people of our county back to the city. Which tribe are you on the other side from?"
"You are now in our territory in Pingliang County. It is best to leave quickly. The situation is dangerous now and the consequences are serious. I warn you again not to say anything unforeseen!"
