Chapter 76 76 Tongzhou

   Li Yu turned his head and stared at Zhou Jia and pouted at him, motioning him to hurry up, but who knew that the fool came over to Li Yu.

   After Zhou Jia approached, he found that the team was officers and soldiers, and the middle-aged man who took the lead was a general at first glance. Zhou Jia's heart lifted up and he walked towards Li Yu.

  Li Yu turned his head and didn't want to look at him, Zhou Jia walked to Li Yu's side and held Li Yu's hand, and said to her softly, "Come with me."

  Li Yu whispered, "Why are you coming back? Come back to die?"

   Zhou Jia's heart warmed, he led Li Yu to the tall man a few steps away, bowed and saluted, "Student Zhou Jia greets the general."

   The tall man looked at Zhou Jia, frowned and asked, "Student? Are you a scholar?"

   Zhou Jia bowed and replied, "Yes, General."

General    walked in front of Zhou Jia and looked at his imposing manner, "You are a scholar, why are you here?"

Zhou Jia bowed and handed over the identity document, "General Hui, we are from Qingshui Town, Qingshan County. After the drought and locust plague, Qingshui Town was looted by mountain bandits. In desperation, the students had to bring With his fiancée and some villagers, they want to find a place that is not affected by the disaster to settle down."

After reading the text plate, the general gave it to Zhou Jia, nodded and said, "The drought and locust plague in Qingzhou this time are very serious, and I'm afraid it will continue." Then he glanced at Li Yu again, "This girl is your fiancee. I think she's very skilled, I don't know which daughter in Qingzhou is she?"

   Zhou Jia cupped his hands and replied, "General Hui, the student's fiancee is either a daughter from a family or an ordinary girl."

  The young man bowed his hands to Li Yu and thanked him: "Thank you for your life-saving grace, I just saw that girl's moves are sharp and I wonder who she is taught by?"

   Li Yu casually said, "If I go back to the little general, I don't know who my master is. Every time he comes to me, I can't find him."

   The young man was a little surprised when he heard it. The general looked at him and smiled, "Those people in the mountains are like this. They act according to their hearts, and they don't pay attention to the secular etiquette."

   "Sister, (Yu'er) are you alright?" Li Mei and Li Qing ran over from behind, holding Li Yu nervously to check, and the village chief and the villagers all gathered around.

  Li Yu lamented in his heart: This is a good one.

   Zhou Jia bowed to the general and said, "General, we will retire after all the villagers have come over."

The general looked at Li Yu and then at the villagers, smiled and said to Zhou Jia: "Zhou Xiucai, since you want to find a place that is not affected by the disaster, come with us to Tongzhou! To be honest, I am the guardian of Tongzhou. Take Shen Yu, considering your fiancée and these heroes helping my nephew, I will arrange you properly."

   Zhou Jia thought to himself after hearing this: As long as we didn't kill people, we planned to go to Tongzhou, and it would be safe to follow the officers and soldiers along the way.

   Zhou Jia raised his head and bowed his head gratefully, "Students meet General Shen, and it is a blessing that students and villagers can't ask for to go to Tongzhou with you."

  Shen Yu waved his hand and smiled heartily, "Okay, let's set off on our way!"

  The Zhou family bowed and replied, "General Shen, please allow me to speak to the villagers."

  Shen Yu nodded in agreement, Zhou Jia turned to the village chief and said, "Grandpa Chen, this is General Shen stationed in Tongzhou. General Shen invited us to Tongzhou together and will help us arrange it properly."

  The village chief heard that the mighty man in front of him was a general, so he knelt down and kowtowed excitedly and said, "The grass people pay their respects to General Shen."

Shen Yu smiled and helped the village head up and said to the village head with a pleasant face: "Old man, you don't need to find a place to escape from the famine, just go to Tongzhou with me! We in Tongzhou have enough water resources and few droughts, and the fields are also fertile. The days will be better in the fields."

  The village chief looked at Zhou Jia, Zhou Jia nodded and said, "Grandpa, following General Shen all the way, we will no longer have to be afraid of bandits."

   After hearing this, the village chief hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The Caomin thank General Shen for everyone."

  Shen Yu smiled and helped the village chief, "Old man, please get up quickly."

   Shen Yu left a young general named Shen Wu, and followed Li Yu and the others with four personal soldiers, and left first with the boy and other men.

   The teenager asked Shen Yu on the road, "Uncle, we don't need to keep them, I don't think they are bad people."

   Shen Yu looked at the young man and laughed loudly: "I thought you would become suspicious after this murder, but I didn't think so, you are still as generous as before."

   The teenager shook his head and said, "Uncle, I have changed, but I can see from their eyes that these people are different from those people."

  Shen Yu laughed 'haha', "Okay, I hope I'm suspicious, we'll wait and see!

  The village chief watched Shen Yu and the others walk away, and asked Zhou Jia in a low voice, "Mr. Zhou, won't we be military households if we follow the officers and soldiers?"

   Zhou Jia shook his head, "It shouldn't, I'm afraid there are some reasons why I'm not very clear."

  The village chief nodded, "They are all afraid that they will be hired as military households. I will go over and tell everyone." After listening to the explanation from the village chief and Zhou Jia, everyone felt relieved.

  The village chief looked at them and whispered: "As long as we don't become military households, where can we live? Besides, we planned to go to Tongzhou. General Shen also said that Tongzhou has sufficient water resources, and it will be safer to have officers and soldiers along the way."

   "Okay, then let's follow the officers and soldiers!" Everyone packed up the luggage scattered on the ground and set off.

   Zhou Jia glanced at Shen Wu, who was riding in front of him, and looked at Li Yu and whispered, "The Queen's maiden name is also Shen, and the brothers in the family are all military generals. I wonder if this General Shen is?"

   Li Yu smiled and said, "What about him! We've already met and we just pretended not to know. Besides, we were going to Tongzhou, so it's a lot safer to have them escorted along the way."

   Zhou Jia smiled and nodded in praise, "Yeah! You still think clearly."

   Li Yu leaned on Zhou Jia tiredly, and the mule cart staggered toward Tongzhou.

  With officers and soldiers escorting Li Yu and the others, it was like they had amulets. They walked for another half a month without incident, and arrived outside Tongzhou in the early morning of August.

The teenager Shen Wu pointed to the towering city walls of Tongzhou City and boasted proudly to Zhou Jia, "Mr. Zhou, look at how good our Tongzhou is, even the city walls are higher than other places, I don't understand those people who always say that we are a barren land. , they all like to flee to the boundary of Kyoto."

   Zhou Jia nodded with a smile, "That's because everyone doesn't know about Tongzhou, it's good to know more."

  Shen Wu took everyone into the city. Li Yu saw that the roads in the city were spacious and tidy, there were many shops on both sides of the street, and the pedestrians on the street looked peaceful.

  Shen Wu took Li Yu and the others to the garrison yamen, and outside the yamen, Shen Wu said to Zhou Jia: "Mr. Zhou, wait a moment and I will ask the general, where do you plan to place you?"

   Zhou Jia nodded and watched Shen Wu enter the yamen, then turned to look at Li Yu and the village chief, "Everyone rest for a while and wait for the general to settle down."

  The villagers waited anxiously at the yamen gate and prayed secretly in their hearts: God bless, the general will put us in a good place!
