The horse thief who was talked about by Sun Min and others now has encountered a problem.

"You can't walk this road!" Looking at a smooth official road in front, Niumen waved his hand and stopped the many brothers behind him.

A brother who was puzzled asked, "What's wrong? According to those two people, Chen Zhi must walk through this road and walk around the mountain. Maybe he can intercept him in the town behind him."

Niumen shook his head and said, "Things are not that simple. Even if it is Qingzhou, Zhu Shou left a lot of troops. We intercepted and killed that group of people before. If the news spreads, I will wait on this road without any restraint. If it is intercepted, it will be a disaster!"

When the brother who was asking questions heard this, he realized the problem, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Who according to the boss?"

"Around the mountain!" Niumen said firmly and said in different words of change, "If everything goes well around this mountain, it happens to be at night. His guards are not as good as the previous convoy, and they will definitely sleep peacefully at night. In addition, there are no guards in ordinary towns, that is, the walls of the wealthy families in those places are thick, but what we are looking for are not the wealthy families!"

"I am worthy of being the leader! I am just wise!"

The brothers around him immediately flattered him.

Then, another person pointed to the two prisoners who were hanging on horseback and asked, "Master, since the plan has been made, these two people will be useless. Should we keep them?"

As soon as they said this, the two prisoners immediately struggled, but their hands and feet were tied up, and they were seriously injured and could not break free. They just kept begging for mercy immediately.

"This leader, you said before. As long as we are giving directions, we will not kill me once we see Chen Zhi..."

"I didn't say I won't kill you," Niumen smiled and showed his white teeth. "I just said, "I'll talk about how to deal with you when I see Chen Zhi. As for now, haven't you seen Chen Zhi?"

Such tricks made the two prisoners cry and could only struggle desperately.

A horse thief next to him sneered, drew out his long sword and was about to slash, but was stopped by the Niumen. He looked at the two overly frightened prisoners and said lightly: "Keep the two of them first, it's not a burden now. Maybe it's useful. I can take their lives at any time!"

As soon as he said this, the two prisoners finally breathed a sigh of relief. The other horse thieves also restrained them. Following the team, they turned around, crossed the official road, ran towards the other direction, and then arrived at the foot of the mountain in front, and moved forward in the opposite direction, preparing to bypass the hill.

Da da da da da!

The horse's hooves were loud and he just walked around the mountain.

They didn't know that at this time there was a tall man standing on a piece of high stone paper, holding a spear, looking out from afar, and frowned when he saw the horse team.

"This team is not like a soldier."

But as soon as his thoughts changed, he shook his head again.

"Forget it, I'm here this time to find someone to compete with my skills. It's better to have less than more things. Today's business is done. I'll sell the fur later and continue to go south and arrive in Pengcheng as soon as possible."

As he spoke, the man jumped directly from the high stone, at a height of two feet. He was walking on flat ground. After landing, his legs moved like guns, removing all the impact.

At his feet, a tiger lay on the ground, not knowing life and death.

……………………

On the other side, in the barren town, Chen Zhi and others finally met the Master Chu.

"I have met several gentlemen and nobles in Chu Jin. I have been too busy these days and have neglected you. It is a sin. I will hold a banquet today to serve as a plea. I hope you don't blame me."

Mr. Chu is not tall, half a head shorter than ordinary adults, and his body is very thin, but his clothes are well dressed and his slender eyes make him look quite smart.

Just at the first glance, everyone felt as if this person was smart and capable.

Zhao Xing grinned and said, "Master Chu, when I come here, I will hear your name."

"If you can't call me such a noble person, just call me Chu Jin." Mr. Chu looked flattered, then he was humble and asked someone to arrange a banquet.

Afterwards, Chen Zhi and others proposed to take a look at the farmland outside the town. Chu Jin naturally agreed repeatedly, not daring to be in any way. He also regarded himself as a guide, guiding everyone and telling interesting stories about the countryside along the way, but most of them were still the tenants who were cunning, how they liked to be lazy, and that they were just a small punishment and commandment in the end.

"Actually, there is nothing worth seeing in our villages and towns, there are only a few fields."

After walking through a ridge of fields, Chu Jin glanced at the sky and guessed that the time was almost over, so he thought about inviteing everyone to the banquet, not wanting to waste time outside anymore.

Chen Zhi and others did not object, so they walked back together, but as they walked, Chen Zhi suddenly asked: "Brother Chu, there must be a lot of land under your name. Have you all been reclaimed? I see that there are still a lot of wasteland around this village and town. Perhaps the land price is not expensive, and the government advocates reclaiming. I wonder, do you have the idea of ​​buying them all? I think in this town, if you are only your brother Chu, who has the ability to eat it."

When Chu Jin heard this, he smiled and said, "Chen Junzi, you are wrong. I don't have to buy it anymore, because outside the radius of this village, 70% of the land you see in my eyes are under my name, hahaha!" This obviously pointed his compliment and immediately started talking.

Liu Gang was a little puzzled and asked, "Since that's the case, why bother to let the land be desolate and reclaim it all, wouldn't it be good?"

Unexpectedly, Chu Jin shook his head and said, "This matter is hard to say, but it is not convenient to say. In short, too much land is not necessarily useful, as long as it is enough."

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk in depth, others were not easy to ask, but he became more and more confused and his view of Chu Jin was gradually complicated.

To be fair, although this person is not from a gentry, he has studied and talks, but when he speaks, he always gives people a feeling of being too careless.

This is particularly obvious at the dinner party. Whenever the dish comes, Mr. Chu Jin will explain in detail how extraordinary this dish is and how valuable it is.

Chen Zhi and the others didn't say much, they all cooperated. Therefore, after a banquet, at least on the surface, the guests and the hosts were having fun. However, when they returned to the courtyard where they were temporarily living, Liu Gang couldn't help but shake his head and said, "This Mr. Chu is such a strange person. When I was having dinner with him, I felt that it was more nervous than when I was with my grandfather and the others. But I was not worried about saying the wrong thing, but I didn't know what the master was going to say. But I was a guest and had to respond to what he said."

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "We just need to understand these things a little. As long as this Mr. Chu does not commit crimes, we don't have to worry too much." Speaking of this, he glanced at Chen Zhi intentionally or unintentionally, with some meaning.

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, the court has its own laws and no one else has the right to interfere, but it is still necessary to understand what should be. Looking at this place today, I will have a little insight."

Liu Gang suddenly became interested and asked, "What is the feeling?"

Chen Zhi just shook his head and smiled, "It's not a system yet, so there's no way to start."

"Don't you know him yet?" Lu Ying smiled at this time, "He will keep it in hiding, but when he really sorted it into a system, it would be really amazing. You all read it. He walked along the way, and he sometimes wrote it at his desk. The book "Qimin Yaoshu" only wrote two or three out of ten. The content is so complex, the extensive knowledge, and the exquisite use are all amazing."

As soon as I said this, everyone nodded, and Tao Ya said, "Actually, when I was watching these miles of deserted fields during the day, I thought about the chapter on Fortune in Brother Chen's "Qimin Yaoshu". Several of the farming methods can be used properly, and this continuous wasteland can be turned into fertile farmland."

Before studying abroad, Chen Zhi spent more than two months not only recuperating his injuries but also training servants, but also trying to complete the manuscript of "Qimin Yaoshu" to meet the inheritance of his unique skills.

This book "Qimin Yaoshu" is different from that in history. Chen Zhi summarized many experiences and techniques in later generations, integrated them into many chapters, and divided them into many chapters. The structure was first formed, so the manuscript was heavy. Along the way, the manuscript alone was filled with a box.

There is a chapter that specifically talks about various methods of reclamation, farming and watering.

Tao Ya and the others walked together. Chen Zhi asked some farmers along the way about busy farming and solar terms, and then recorded them on the spot and listed the manuscript. Several of them were watching and were amazed when they knew the content of the book, so Tao Ya said this.

When others heard this, they nodded and said yes, but the book was not yet completed. They all knew the rules and would not leak them out. So after talking for a while, they talked about their experiences. Then they saw that it was dark and they went back to their rooms.

Soon, the lights in the yard went out, and only the many servants who were watching were patrolling back and forth with lanterns.

It was late at night and the whole village seemed to have a peaceful night.

But in the second half of the night, a scream broke the tranquility of the village and town, and then the lights spread from a corner of the village and town, spreading across the town in a few spots, and finally spreading everywhere.

Then there were continuous horse hooves. Such a huge noise quickly woke Chen Zhi and others up.

"What's going on?" Zhao Xing was the first to respond and pushed open the door directly. Two elite guards who were already following him were standing outside the door and gave him a brief report.

"It seems that a horse thief is coming. Please give me instructions from the young master."

Zhao Xing didn't even have any, so he said, "In a group of two, guard Chen Zhi and the others first, in case of accidents, others go out with me to find out the situation!"
Chapter completed!
