    Thinking of this, Zhou Ping stood up, stretched out his hand to help Li Xu up from the ground, and said with a smile: "Although Mr. Li made some mistakes before, what he did today has already paid off. For people like you, the imperial court has always let bygones be bygones."  "Looking at the smile on Zhou Ping's face, Li Xu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He suddenly realized that the person standing in front of him was his kind, and he quickly lowered his head and said: "The prince is so kind, but the sinner is the one with the most evil heart.  , It¡¯s hard to repay him!¡± ¡°Come here!¡± Zhou Ping said, ¡°Bring me a bed and a small table, and bring some food for Li Zhuangshi. He must be hungry after working all night!¡±  I wanted to refuse, but when I saw Zhou Ping's smiling face, I couldn't say anything.  He had to carefully sit down with his buttocks beside Hu's bed, his hands hanging down, as if he was waiting for more information.  "Li Zhuangshi, you just said that you have something important to report. I wonder what it is?" Li Xu quickly stood up and looked around, with a troubled expression on his face.  Zhou Ping smiled slightly, stood up and walked back. Li Xu hurriedly followed. When there was no one around, the smile on Zhou Ping's face disappeared and he asked: "Tell me what you think?"  This is given to you by Dafugui!" Li Xu whispered eagerly.  "Fugui? Are you talking about the whereabouts of Fang Qifei and the others?" A disdainful smile appeared on Zhou Ping's face.  "That's not the case!" Li Xu quickly shook his head: "Does the Lieutenant know about Xiashi Town?" "Xiaoshi Town?" Zhou Ping frowned: "Where is this?" "Tell the Lieutenant, this Xiashi Town is Haining County.  In a small town, before those Mani thieves came to attack Xiuzhou, they left all the looted property there. If the Taiwei immediately sent out troops and advanced quickly with light troops, he would definitely be able to catch up with the thieves¡ª¡ª" "Then  How far is Xiashi Town from here?" Zhou Ping interrupted Li Xu and asked.  Seeing that Zhou Ping's interest had been aroused, Li Xu couldn't help but cheer up: "The distance is only fifty miles." "Well!" Zhou Ping suddenly took a step forward, almost putting his face on the other person's face, and asked, "Where is Wang Tong's military position?"  Above me, why don't you tell him about this?" Zhou Ping's sudden question made Li Xu almost breathless. He didn't dare to avoid the other person's eyes and could only answer word by word.  : "I would like to inform the Lieutenant that although Wang Tongjun is above you, he does not have the ability to lead troops. The property in Xiashi Town cannot be delayed. If something goes wrong, it will make him feel that he is a villain taking credit, and he will be angry.  On the villain!" After hearing the answer, Zhou Ping took two steps back and suddenly smiled: "Li Xu, you are a smart person, very good! I like smart people very much, as long as you don't do stupid things, you can live a good life!  "I will definitely serve you wholeheartedly!" Li Xu quickly threw himself to the ground. Zhou Ping walked forward without saying anything and said loudly: "Come here, order the entire army to prepare to go out of the city to pursue the Mani thieves!" Li Xu listened!  Hearing the sound of retreating footsteps, he carefully raised his head and looked at Zhou Ping's retreating back, only to feel the coldness on his back.  Fang Qifei was leaning against the wall of the cart. He was only wearing a short coat that he got from somewhere. The exposed fat swayed with the rocking of the cart, and the cold wind couldn't help but make it from the bamboo mat.  The air blew in through the gap in the canopy, but Fang Qifei seemed to be unconscious, just in a daze.  "Brother Seven, Brother Seven!" Chen Antian's voice came from outside the car. He jumped on the car panting and shouted: "Brother Seven, come out and say something. Someone is fighting in front of you!" "Let's fight!"  "The muscles on Fang Qifei's face twitched, but he didn't come out as Chen Antian asked. Instead, he turned his back to the opponent and whispered: "Then let them fight, as long as the beating is over!  " Chen Antian was anxious when he heard this: "Brother Qi, how can you say that? Those who were beaten are all brothers in front of Mingzun, their own flesh and blood!" "Brothers in front of Mingzun?" Fang Qifei sneered.  He let out a cry, his voice as cold as a wild ghost: "Without food, no clothes, no charcoal fire, running for life in the wilderness in the twelfth lunar month, not to mention brothers in the sect, even brothers are going to fight. What can I do?  What to do? I can¡¯t conjure up food or firewood.¡± Chen Antian suddenly became speechless. After the camp caught fire last night, they lost control of tens of thousands of Manichaeans and had to take dozens of people around them to surrender to Demon King Fang.  , but unexpectedly, when the demon king saw that the situation was not good, he ran away alone.  Chen Antian had no choice but to grab a donkey cart and lead dozens of his men to escort Fang Qifei to escape.  Abandoned corpses of Manichaeans can be seen everywhere along the way. Most of them died after fighting among themselves for food and vehicles.  It should be noted that it was the twelfth month of winter. When these tens of thousands of Manichaeans came, they had already looted the villages on both sides of the road. By the time they fled back, the land was almost completely white.  People ran wildly in the wild fields in the cold winter without eating or drinking. In an era without cotton-padded jackets, there was no way?A person can hold on.  After about half a moment, Fang Qifei whispered: "Ignore them, just rush to Xiashi Town. There is food and ships there. As long as we have these, we will have a way whether we are advancing or retreating." "  Well!" Chen Antian responded, and was about to go out to give the order when suddenly there was a burst of panic shouting outside.  "Officers, officers and soldiers are here!" "It's that Scarface Yang! That Scarface Yang who is desperate for his life is here!" Chen Antian jumped out of the donkey cart and saw that just a few bags of food and a few donkeys were being beaten outside.  The Manichaeans who had been fighting had already scattered and fled. When they looked back, they saw dozens of cavalry rushing towards them. They were vaguely the same group of cavalry that had killed them at the foot of Xiuzhou City not long ago.  Chen Antian trembled, quickly got into the donkey cart, and shouted loudly: "Brother Qi, get out of the car quickly, the officers and soldiers are catching up!" Fang Qifei couldn't help but push the other person out of the cart and got in.  In the grass beside the road.  While talking, the cavalry team had already rushed to the donkey cart.  Chen Antian and Fang Qifei were hiding in the grass. When they heard the sound of people and the neighing of horses, the cavalry stopped.  The two of them were secretly shocked when they suddenly heard a rough voice.  "Leader Li, how far is this place from Xiashi Town?" A respectful voice replied: "Tell Lieutenant Yang, this place is still more than ten miles away from Xiashi Town. If we drive quickly, it will only take an hour or two.  "More than ten miles? Come on, everyone, give the animals some food and rest. We will rush to Xiashi Town and have dinner there!" Following the command from the rough voice, Chen Antian heard  There was a sound of people and horses, and it was obvious that all the knights had dismounted.  Then he heard the respectful voice just now complimenting the leader Ming Jian Wanli.  The more Chen Antian listened, the more he felt that the man's voice sounded familiar. He couldn't help but cautiously look out through the gaps in the grass. He was startled when he saw that the person who was flattering was none other than Li Li, who was his colleague not long ago.  Asahi.  "This damned scoundrel won't give up after buying a brother from the sect, and he actually wants to use the property in Xiashi Town as his own promotion step!" Chen Antian thought secretly in his heart: "It seems that this Xiashi Town is going to  What's more, the only way to go to Hangzhou is to join the Holy Duke!" He looked at Fang Qifei, whose eyes were still dull, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He held his breath and leaned down, silently praying in his heart: "Ming Zun!  My disciple, Chen Antian, asks Mingzun to protect me and help my seventh brother escape from this disaster and avenge tens of thousands of brothers in the sect." Perhaps the Mingzun heard Chen Antian's prayer for about half a minute!  After a while, the cavalry team rode towards Kip Shek Town. The two of them waited for the men and horses to go far away, and then fled quickly to the southwest.  In the evening of the next day, the earliest market in Kip Shek Town was just a grass market next to the canal. Every five and ten days, nearby villagers would come to the market in small boats. With the development of the economy, some traders would come to the market where the boats were parked.  Some straw huts were built next to the pond, and some salt, rice and cloth were sold for food. Over time, it gradually turned into a market town.  Like most other Jiangnan market towns, the center of Xiashi Town is the small bridge across the river. The earliest shops in the town, such as Chenji Tofu Shop, Wangjia Noodle House, and Xujia Sauce Shop, are all located on the small bridge.  Nearby, except for the days when I go to the market, the town is always very quiet.  But this is not the case in Kipshi Town at this time. The rivers at the head and tail ends of the town have been blocked by several boats connected in series with iron chains. The bluestone roads on both sides of the river are filled with sergeants wearing armor and holding soldiers.  The doors of each shop were violently smashed open, and then the Manichaeans hiding in them were driven out one by one. At the same time, an astonishing amount of property came out, and these were compared to the items on the boats parked in the pond in the center of the market town.  Money comes, but it's just a drop in the bucket.  "So many! So many! I didn't expect so many!" Zhou Ping couldn't remember how many times he heard the exclamation from Chang Zongtian on the side. In the open space in front of them, there were rows of burdens, boxes and cages.  , under the open lid of the cage were either silk cloth, strings of copper coins, or even various gold and silver vessels and precious objects.  Under the escort of the sergeants, the captured Manichaeans were still picking up new burdens in an endless stream. Seeing that this open space of more than a hundred feet square could no longer be accommodated.  "Brother Zhou!" Chang Zongtian finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Zhou Ping: "Are you just watching here?" "Just watching?" Zhou Ping was stunned and asked: "What else are you doing? Do you want to do it?  Guard against Mani thieves? Didn¡¯t you already ask Yang Du to lead the cavalry as sentinels? " "Who said Mani thieves?" Chang Zongtian said with a look of hatred on his face: "I'm talking about the two of us.  Those red guys under my command are red-eyed with money. With so much money piled up here, no one can be tempted. If we don¡¯t deal with it quickly, we won¡¯t be able to lead the troops. " "Then what should Brother Chang do with it?" "?I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any need to count them. Is it important that you and I pick out a few that we can trust and ship them all away?  When Chang Zongtian said this, he was afraid that Zhou Ping would think that he wanted to keep it for himself and said: "You are the general leader, you can take half, I will take 20%, and the rest will be divided among the generals, and then everyone will take another."  Take out 15% of it and spread it up and down and it will be ready!  "(To be continued.)
