Everyone had just enjoyed a big show. Now that it was closed and the main character had left, the onlookers were still reminiscing.
The smarter ones had already surrounded Cao Fei and started to praise him profusely.
No one felt ashamed.
"I originally wanted to gather everyone to support Cao Dutou, but I didn't expect…"
"Governor is mighty. This time, we have taken advantage of it. We can easily make a trip and get a lot of subsidies. Those colleagues who weren't chosen will regret it to death.”
Cao Fei did not care about these people's useless flattery. After this round of punches and kicks, he had a deeper understanding of the attributes of the Drunken Fist. The capital he had to establish himself had also become richer.
He took the wine gourd from the bailiff and drank a few mouthfuls under the scattered moonlight in the forest to quench his thirst. Then, he took a bucket of water from the cart behind him and wet his coat. He used it as a towel to wipe his sweaty upper body.
He thought about the battle just now.
Lu Shixia's arm strength was extraordinary, and his fists were getting heavier and heavier. If it wasn't for the Drunken Fist's evasion attribute, he probably wouldn't be a match for Lu Shixia with his current Drunken Fist Lv2.
This baldy was the most difficult opponent he had encountered so far. He couldn't be underestimated.
The advisor had unknowingly arrived beside Cao Fei and praised him with a smile,""This time, it has been hard on Chief Cao. Retreating the enemy alone is a good story. When we return to Yanggu County, we will definitely ask the magistrate for credit.”
Cao Fei was slightly stunned after hearing this. He turned around and looked at the other party. He saw that the Grand Master's eyes were filled with sincerity. He was sizing him up with narrowed eyes. The smile on his face was even more amiable than before.
His attitude was also much more humble.
It was as if from this moment on, he was placed in an equal position.
From the other party's words, it seemed like he wanted to recruit him.
This was a good thing.
So far, this county magistrate was the thickest thigh Cao Fei could get.
Both sides complimented each other in a friendly atmosphere, expressing their intentions through subtle gestures and language.
One side was interested in recruiting.
One side took the opportunity to seek refuge.
Everyone was happy.
From now on, Cao Fei could be considered one of the magistrate's people.
After such a delay, the sky had already turned completely dark.
With the help of the two or three torches at the scene and the mottled moonlight shining down from the forest, everyone quickly checked the three handcarts. Seeing that they were not damaged, they were all relieved.
Each of them led their horses, packed up the weapons in their hands, and headed towards the road in front of the Twin Dragon Mount.
After passing the Twin Dragon Mount, the terrain became more flat.
The lush trees were gone, but there were many grayish-brown rocks and waist-deep shrubs by the roadside.
The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on.
When they encountered mountain collapses or rugged roads, they had to break the goods into pieces and carry them on their shoulders, relying solely on manpower.
This showed Cao Fei's foresight.
There were more than 20 people in the same group, but only seven or eight government laborers. Most of them were laborers hired from the horse carriage shop.
These were rough men who were used to suffering.
He carried a carrying pole and a towel. The carrying pole was placed on his shoulder, and the towel was placed on his neck.
When the sun set, they would find a place to stay.
The journey was forty to fifty miles a day, neither fast nor slow.
After crossing a sparsely populated section of the road, the number of pedestrians on the roadside gradually increased.
On this day, they had already reached the hinterland of Qingzhou.
The dozen or so laborers were divided into two shifts, taking turns to change the carrying pole.
The three empty cars at the back were handed over to the government runners who were free. They followed behind the main group on a bumpy journey. All of them gritted their teeth and waited for the horn to sound for them to rest along the way.
At this moment.
Suddenly, a short, tanned, sloppy man holding a long saber appeared in front of them.
He saw Cao Fei and his group marching forward, so he naturally moved to the side of the road early to avoid the bailiffs who were scouting ahead on horses.
Looking at the scholar's attire, he was one of the more familiar faces in this group. When he passed by, he suddenly jumped out.
He waved his hand to block in front of him.
He bowed and said," I'm Song He. May I ask for directions? May I know where to go to Clear Wind Camp?"”
The horse was startled and raised its hooves to neighing twice before it calmed down.
This alarmed the bailiffs who were scouting ahead.
However, she did not waste any more time talking to him. She directly picked up the saber sheath in her hand and bent down to fight.
"You bastard, why are you so sneaky? Get lost and don't block the way.”
The man who called himself Song He narrowly avoided the yamen runner's whip and retreated to the side of the road unwillingly. His bearded face wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to. He wanted to curse, but he didn't dare to.
He had wanted to ask for directions, but he did not expect to be treated like this.
Seeing that the bailiff who had just returned from his horse was still staring at him fiercely, he immediately threw away the knife in his hand as if he was begging for mercy. He licked his face and raised his hand to apologize.
"I was just asking for directions. I didn't expect to disturb you. I'll leave now…I'll leave now…"
After saying that, he tightened the bag on his back and bent down with an unlucky expression. He did not even dare to breathe loudly.
He didn't dare to take the main road anymore. He picked up the weeds by the side of the road and avoided this group of strong people as if he was escaping.
Can't afford to offend?
Can't I hide?
