In the early morning, the sound of gongs came from the county town.

Crisp and melodious.

Liu Da got up early. Today he was going to visit a friend. He thought about it for a long time last night and tossed and turned. After all, he still couldn't let go of this foundation and couldn't run away.

After waking up his wife who was still on the bed craving for warmth, he put on his clothes and hurriedly called the maid to bring the meal. It was still early in the morning and he set out in a hurry, so he just had a bowl of gruel to satisfy his hunger.

"Get up and let Min'er and Ping'er wash up, take some fine gold and silver with them, and go through the tunnel of Zhang Yaoli's house to hide somewhere else for a few days."

Liu Daru gave the order, but other than his wife, he did not inform the rest of the family in advance.

Neither the two daughters knew about their father's plans.

Seeing the faint sadness in his wife's eyes, he pretended to be calm and comforted: "Relax, Mr. Donglin is one of the few swordsmen in the prefecture. He is anxious for justice and loves justice. In addition, in the past years, his disciples have made good friends with me and often took care of things."

"Now we only accommodate a few female relatives. With this favor, it won't matter."

After hearing this, Liu Da's wife looked a little calmer, but she was still worried that Liu Da himself was in danger, saying that it would be better if the whole family fled together.

"no!"

Liu Da categorically refused.

"When the white pole bandits first came, they killed many wealthy landowners to scare the monkeys. Now they have captured me as an example and are keeping a close eye on me. You still have a chance to sneak away, but I will definitely not be let go."

In fact, he can still run away. But Liu Da can't let go of his family wealth in his heart. Even though he has given a large amount of money to those damn gangsters to avoid disasters, and has his bones and marrow sucked out from time to time, there are still many people hiding in the cellar.

.

How much money can he take with him when he flees? As long as he can hold on until these gangsters are driven away by the army, he can keep all his belongings!

After working hard for half his life, he could only take away a few bags of gold and silver in the end. It was like trying to draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain. Liu Dashi couldn't think about it, and his heart felt like it was being cut.

However, his family members could not take risks with him. Although he looked down on the gangsters in the city, his swords had no eyes and he had to let them leave early.

Zhang Yaoli was an acquaintance of Liu Da when he was doing cloth business a few years ago. Unfortunately, a group of traders came from the north. The materials they brought were of good quality and only cost a hundred yuan a piece. The large quantity was favorable, which allowed the business of several nearby counties.

are all affected.

He also changed his way of making a living.

However, the connection with Zhang Yaoli has not been broken. There was chaos in the north a few months ago. Zhang Yaoli, who was doing business in the Jiangnan area, was forced to bring his whole family to this remote town to escape the increasingly fierce war.

It's a pity that God's fate was not good enough, and he could not escape after all. Just two days after he settled down, he was blocked in the city by the white pole bandits again.

Fortunately, he remembered that there was a tunnel in the other party's house that led to the outside of the city. Perhaps the predecessor of his residence did not trust the power of the local government, so he worked hard to dig it, and finally got Zhang Yaoli's advantage.

The latter had experienced fleeing chaos and was still frightened, so he naturally did not bury this escape route. At the same time, he only talked to Liu Da once while drinking when they got together.

At that time, the two of them didn't know anything else, they just thought about it.

I didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Liu Da sent his wife and daughter away, and he wrote a letter to Zhang Yaoli early in the morning. In the letter, the other party also advised him to leave as well, so that he would not have to be trapped in the city and worry about the fate of his family and his family.

Liu Da did not leave, but his friend still remembered the friendship between his family in this situation, which touched him, so he also pointed the way to Zhang Yaoli, who was unfamiliar with the place.

"There is a small town called Pingya to the south of Jiusu Mountain, where Dong Lin Gong, a famous swordsman in the state capital, opened a martial arts school."

Dong Lin Gong was born into a wealthy family. When he was young, he wandered around the world and wandered around with a group of warriors.

He gained quite a reputation, and later when his parents were getting old and needed help, he returned to his hometown to get married and pass on the family business.

"Dong Lin Gong has always been good at justice and has a great reputation among warriors. Due to his family background, he is also on good terms with local officials and merchants. I am also a rare first-class swordsman. Even now, more than ten years later, my sword is still strong.

.”

With an open martial arts school, dozens of martial artists, and a man named Donglin Gong who is well-versed in all aspects, having his wife and children go to stay temporarily and escape for a while is undoubtedly more frightening in Liu Da's opinion than following him in the county town.

Better.

After receiving the news, Zhang Yaoli was immediately grateful, and wrote another persuasion in his reply. However, Liu Da really cared about his family's savings for generations and could not bear to abandon them. The former had no choice but to obey Zhao's instructions, take the token and leave with Liu Da's wife and daughter.

That night, more than ten people escaped from the secret passage. The gangsters had tight control over the city. Fortunately, Zhang Yaoli had done a lot of escaping and was very familiar with it. The group of people escaped from the city without any danger and came to a small courtyard prepared in advance.

He got out his horses and headed towards Jiusu Mountain all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Da woke up from his bed again. His heart was tight. He carried a drink and pretended to visit an old friend. He apologized to the gangsters who were patrolling on the road and finally was let go.

When I arrived at Zhang Yaoli's house, the doors and windows were locked, but I still found a letter in a familiar corner.

Putting it back into his sleeves, Liu Da hurried back.

In his house, in front of the desk, he spread out the letter paper and scanned the lines. When he saw that there was no accident on it, he let out a long sigh of relief.

His wife has been with him for decades, and the love between the two is unimaginable. Otherwise, given his family's wealth, there is only one person in the backyard, even though usually there are only a few maids and maids when gangsters come.

Seeing that my wife and daughter are safe, I should calm down the gangster leaders who are having fun in the county government and not let them have the intention of killing the goose that lays the goose for the wealthy landlords like myself.

After putting down the letter, the huge stone in his heart just fell to the ground, Liu Da began to think carefully about how to deal with the next thing. It is not an easy task to prevent the hidden treasure from being exposed among a group of gangsters who eat people without spitting out their bones.

Boom, boom, boom!

He raised his head suddenly and heard fierce knocking outside the door.

When Liu Daxin mentioned it, he suddenly thought that his actions were noticed by the gangsters.

No matter how turbulent his heart was, he gritted his teeth and trembled and took out a short knife from under the bedside.

His round face turned pale, and he was sweating profusely, but there was a trace of determination in his eyes. He told his wife where he hid the money. As long as he died, no matter how many people searched, they would only be able to find a small part...

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Liu Er Er!"

"What are you doing hiding at home?"

"Get out quickly, the big boss is going to lead people to attack Xuanjiang Town! I tell you to ask the rich households in the city to pay for food!"

call--

After spitting it out in one breath, Liu Da released his strength and almost fell down.

Fortunately, fortunately, it was not a matter of my wife running away.

He wiped his sweat, quickly packed up his things, and burned the letter paper with a candle.

Only then did he arrive in front of the door.

The door is wide open, and there stands a young man with slanted eyebrows who looks like a thin bamboo pole. He is covered with high-quality silk and satin pulled from an unknown house. His hair is messy, his face is stained with dirt, and his eyes are green.

They look human-like, but in fact they are neither fish nor fowl.

Feeling contempt in his heart, Liu Da apologized and smiled in flattery.

"My wife broke her bones a few days ago. She is recuperating these days. Please remind me, little brother, I will go and let them get the money."

At this moment, he didn't dare to be careless, and patted his chest and promised that he, Liu Da, would be satisfied no matter how much he wanted.

It is with this sharp tongue that he can survive in the chaotic county town.

Unexpectedly, the man opposite was stunned when he heard this, and instead grinned and joked: "The bone is injured? Hehe, Liu Er Er, don't lie to me."

Liu Da lowered his eyebrows and didn't even dare to say anything.

Then he picked at the rope and pulled out a few silver beans. In the process, he turned the cuffs outwards to expose the clean inside. The look of pain made the other party laugh at him.

The thin bamboo pole seemed to have vomited out everything Liu Er Er had picked out from the rest of the people in the city.

The Baigan bandits now have a lot of knowledge about Liu Er Er's character. They know that he is greedy for money, and they always use their orders to plunder money from various houses. They don't know how this person can fool him, even if it is not his mouth every time.

He said he could have as much as he wanted, but the quantity was indeed not low, which made several leaders very satisfied.

This temporarily spared the other party's life, and at the same time ignored this person's small actions to make profits.

If you regard wealth as your life, you are destined to not live long.

There was disgust in the eyes of the thin bamboo pole, and he only expected that this fat-headed and big-eared person would be hacked to death by crossing the river and demolishing the bridge after he was no longer of use.

It's interesting to think about it, and I heard that this person also has two daughters...

Fortunately, this person was still needed now. Shou Zhugan didn't say much else. He collected the things and passed on the words before leaving.

Behind the scenes, Liu Da's expression was gloomy and uncertain.

From what he heard from the other party, it seemed that the bandits had already targeted his wife and daughter. At this moment, he was extremely glad that he had sent his family members out in advance, otherwise he didn't know how many unknown things he would have suffered in the future.

Pooh!

Seeing the idle and domineering gangster walking away, Liu Da spat angrily.

Damn that shit!

Time passed like this day by day, and five days later, the atmosphere in the city became increasingly solemn.

Liu Da was walking in the alleyway with fear every step he took.

He shouldn't have been so afraid after he had given away his wife and daughter. However, not long ago, the leader of the Baigan Bandit led his men to attack Xuanjiang Town, and was struck by a sudden attack that came out of nowhere and focused his left eye.

Unfortunately, his lack of strength allowed the evil thief to survive by chance.

The big boss who returned after the defeat became more and more irritable day by day, and frequently killed his servants.

Even the few younger brothers who followed him in the rebellion were beheaded for provoking him for no reason.

So much so that everyone in the city was in a panic and did not dare to say another word.
