Chapter 9: People looking up to the light

Behind every beautiful woman in distress is a sad and touching story.

The same is true for the twenty-two-year-old Master Xuan Jing.

She was originally the daughter of Fan Jingdong, the imperial physician of the Ming Dynasty. Just because her father took the elixir while serving the previous emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor accidentally took over Bintian after taking the elixir!

As a result, their whole family suffered.

Her father Fan Jingdong was beaten to death by the queen, the men in the family were sold into slavery, and all the women went to the royal temple to chant sutras and pray for the deceased emperor.

She was lucky enough to be taken out of a temple in the capital by her master and became a monk in Baiyi Nunnery. It took her a year to become the master of the nunnery. She had been calm all these years until she met Yun Yang, and then she began to think about returning to secular life.

“Liar!”

Qian Duoduo took a bite of the crispy peach and rejected Master Xuan Jing’s story.

Since the pregnancy was confirmed, Qian Duoduo's mood immediately changed dramatically. From a young woman who was pregnant, she immediately turned into a proud and arrogant queen.

Feng Ying nodded and said: "It would be a good thing if Master Xuanjing is really willing to return to secular life, but the person he chose is not a good one."

Yun Zhao was angry. Said: "What's wrong with my brother?"

Feng Ying touched her waist that had not changed and said lazily: "You are a good husband, don't you have the right idea?"

Qian Duoduo stuffed the half-eaten peach into Xiao Chu’s mouth, clapped his hands and said, “Only a beauty like me deserves to have a tragic past.

Even a woman like Mrs. Xuan Jing "

Feng Ying said with a smile: "How can you see it?"

Qian Duoduo said: "Value, value is very important. I have seen countless beauties in Nanjing, such as Kou Baimen, Ma Xianglan, Gu Hengbo, Dong Xiaowan, Liu Rushi, like me, were all discovered their value when they were young, whether they were in Zhangtai or Jiaofang, because they had a valuable She has a decent face, so the treatment is not bad.

How could anyone be willing to put them into a temple and let her grow up to be twenty-two years old?

What if? It's true, her luck is not that good.

Even if she becomes a prisoner, even if the Queen's decree reaches the lower level, it will be distorted by the execution. Those people themselves are cannibals. , The courage is as great as the sky, there is no reason to give up the money."

Feng Ying frowned and said to Yun Zhao: "Has the Secret Service checked it?"

Yun Zhao nodded and said: "She belongs to the sect of Taoist Zhixuzi in Dongchang, and is also one of the six concubines of Taoist Zhixuzi."

"Who is Zhixuzi?"

"Cao Huachun, the great eunuch of Dongchang!"

Qian Duoduo waved his hand and slapped his nose twice and said: "Eunuchs also need concubines? But that's right. After you said this, Master Xuanjing The story is much more real."

Yun Zhao grinned.He smiled and said: "Eunuchs also need emotional comfort. Can't they pretend to be a man?

Having said that, if this guy Yun Yang can't even snatch a concubine from an eunuch, I'll be honest. I have nothing to say."

Qian Duoduo looked at her husband and said, "Why do you know such a secret thing?"

Yun Zhao sighed: "That's it. With Buck Yaping's ability, she stole another concubine of Cao Huachun."

Hearing what Yun Zhao said, Qian Duoduo and Feng Ying immediately became interested, and they all came to Yun Zhao to bow. He said: "Tell me..."

Yun Zhao glanced at Xiao Chu who was eating peaches, and Yun Chun and Yun Hua who had their ears pricked up.

Qian Duoduo immediately said angrily to the three maids: "Go out and close the door."

Yun Chun said aggrievedly: "We want to hear it too."

Qian Duoduo said: "You are all young girls, you are not suitable to listen, get out quickly!"

After the three maids left the house reluctantly, Yun Zhao spread his hands and said: "Buck Yaping refused to say anything. He just narrated the incident and the process, but not the process."

"Bang..."

There was a lot of money, and Feng Ying waved her handkerchief together.

"Could it be a woman disguised as a man? That's impossible. With the buck teeth like Ping's, even if a man is disguised as a woman, he won't be able to see where he is."

Qian Duoduo's eyes were rolling around. God knows what dirty thoughts were going on in her heart.

Feng Ying quickly stopped Qian Duoduo's random thoughts and said to Yun Zhao: "After all, they are your generals, so you don't dare to make a show of them."

Yun Zhao spread his hands and said: "Xu I think they have already sent a message to ask about the experience, and expressed their admiration."

"Dirty..."

Feng Ying scoffed, while Qian Duoduo said that he was waiting for Buck Yaping to reply. Afterwards, be sure to show her!

Yun Zhao could not see his wives for more than an hour every day, especially after the three of them kicked the maids out of the room and closed the door, Yun Niang opened the door and left unhappily. Come in.

Seeing that the clothes of the three of them were still intact, the frost on their faces had partially faded. Yun Zhao pointed at his son with his finger, and Yun Zhao obediently left the house and went to the outer house angrily.

Li Dingguo's subordinates have changed twice, and the army under his command is one of the most depleted in the Lantian County army.

However, the army he commanded was also the one with the most military honors.

Yun Zhao originally planned to let Li Dingguo command the remaining Mongolian cavalry, but he flatly refused. He was only willing to lead the Han people to fight. Even if the number of Mongolian cavalry was large, he was not willing to take it. He said that with such When a group of people fight, their backs are always so cold that they cannot fight with peace of mind.

So, when he came to Yushan this time, he was planning to re-select some new soldiers to supplement his cavalry team. The number of cavalry under his command also expanded to 1,500 due to the accumulation of military exploits.

Don’t look at this oneThe number of troops is not large, but including the logistics and baggage troops, the total number exceeds 3,000.

Yun Zhao still doesn’t understand what a cavalry like him does with those light artillery.

Even the lightest artillery requires two mules to tow, plus gunpowder and various types of shells, which quickly reduces the maneuvering speed of his light cavalry by more than half.

Perhaps this is the result of Li Dingguo's careful consideration. He himself is responsible for his army, not Yun Zhao. Therefore, Yun Zhao was not satisfied with Li Dingguo's suggestion to add fifty light artillery pieces to the army. It was finally approved.

However, such a new army still needs a lot of training time from planning to formation to achieve seamless cooperation.

After Li Dingguo formulated the training plan, the two captains were responsible for training the army. He and Zhang Guofeng only needed to supervise and check the training progress.

The military system of Lantian County is the same as that of the Ming Dynasty. The person who really led the army in the Ming Dynasty should be the commander of Qianhu. During the war, the imperial court transferred the troops from the guards to the generals. After the war, the guards The army returned to its original guard.

The only difference between the Lantian Army and the Ming Army is that the captains do not have to take their soldiers to the fields. Their military expenses and food are allocated by the county. Their daily focus is training. Training , retrain.

The army cannot engage in business, cannot farm, or even do anything related to economic activities.

Yun Zhao has seen too many lessons like this from long history. As long as the army is contaminated with economic activities, its combat effectiveness will drop sharply.

This is not worth the loss...

However, Lantian County's rewards for military merit are also extremely generous. Even if there is no war, the income of an ordinary soldier is more than the average. people, not to mention that once the war begins, their income will increase greatly.

Therefore, Lantian County never uses troops lightly. Once troops are used, there must be sufficient returns, either in a strategic sense or in an economic sense.

This requires that the Lantian Army must win in a short time as long as they go to war.

This is also Yun Zhao's request for this army - come when called, and the battle will be won!

Zhang Guofeng returned to his small manor, sitting under the eaves of the large blue brick house that had been built, drinking tea and looking at the light green spring scenery in front of him.

A small dog lay beside him, barking at Li Dingguo in the distance from time to time.

This dog was caught when he came back. It had just been weaned, and it was so plump and cute after being fed by Zhang Guofeng.

Neither Zhang Guofeng nor Li Dingguo need to farm the land themselves. This year, many people have come to Guanzhong to escape famine, and they can hire very good farmers with only a small amount of money.

Now, there are about a dozen farmers working hard on their land.

Zhang Guofeng’s three roomsThe big tile-roofed house is tall and grand, with wing rooms and warehouses built on both sides. Half of the yard, which is an acre of land, is used as an orchard and vegetable garden. A small flower garden is built on the other half of the land, and the rest is empty. The ground is covered with green bricks. After a light rain last night, the green bricks turned dark blue.

With the fat puppy at his feet, this is the prototype of Zhang Guofeng’s dream home!

He likes to lie on the recliner and look at his home when he has nothing to do. Even if Li Dingguo invites him, he is unwilling to go.

Li Dingguo's home is much more impressive. It has a three-entry courtyard with a two-story pavilion built in the middle.

Zhang Guofeng did not envy Li Dingguo's family at all, because there was only Li Dingguo in such a big family.

As early as last year, the Lantian County Registrar calculated the income with them, and they could withdraw part of the expenses in advance to build their own homes.

Zhang Guofeng is naturally very frugal. He wants to keep the money and leave the money to his wife after marrying him, so as to revitalize the family business.

Of course Li Dingguo would not do this. He happily withdrew all the money he could and then built such a large house.

This also led to the fact that after Li Dingguo returned from the battlefield, except for this magnificent mansion, he was penniless and even owed a lot of money. Half of his monthly salary had to be deducted. To pay off debts.

"Guofeng, come to my house to fish."

Li Dingguo shouted at Zhang Guofeng at the top of his lungs.

Zhang Guofeng irritably took off the straw hat covering his face and said: "There is not a single fish in your fish pond!"

"We brothers can go to the river to catch fish, and then Put it in the fish pond, and then catch it!"

Zhang Guofeng was not moved at all by Li Dingguo's stupid suggestion. After he had rested enough, he planned to plant a few rare apple trees in the orchard. Of course, we need to plant a few rhubarb and apricot trees, as well as persimmon trees and walnut trees... In the future, children will be greedy, and if they don't plant more fruit trees, they will harm Uncle Li's fruit...

Just when he was thinking about the future, Li Dingguo's sweaty face appeared above Zhang Guofeng's head. He took off Zhang Guofeng's straw hat and said, "Did you really hire a matchmaker?"

Zhang Guofeng looked at Li Dingguo's surprised face and said: "I am already twenty years old this year, so I should get married anyway."

"Huh? You don't look down on any of those girls from Yushan Academy? Even if they are not good-looking, you can still make plans for the girls in Yun Zhao's family."

Zhang Guofeng said lazily: "I just want a mother-in-law, and this woman doesn't need to be pretty or smart. , as long as you can give me a baby, bring me a bowl of hot rice when I get home, know how to sew my clothes when they are torn, and sew me a few pairs of shoes that fit my feet when I go on an expedition, if you can know A few words would be best.

Are the women in Yushan Academy women?

Everyone seems busier than us.She only has time to do this for me, and maybe I'll have to serve her, and then work at the center to make me angry. I don't want such a wife.

As for the girls from the county’s honorable family, I’m so grateful that I’m just a bastard marrying a princess. "

Li Dingguo chuckled and said: "Don't you miss those goblins in Mingyue Tower? ”

Zhang Guofeng shook his head and said: “I’ve done a lot of cooking for others. It’s a truly thankless job.”

You are eating at my place tonight, and I will ask Aunt Liu to prepare a few more dishes.

Don't talk nonsense when the matchmaker comes later. I'm marrying a wife. You have to be serious. We can't lack the proper etiquette.

Now, help me plant trees. When the children grow up, these fruit trees will also bear fruit. "

Li Dingguo's eyes became more and more strange, he patted Zhang Guofeng on the shoulder and said: "Brother, wake up, you are twenty years old this year, not fifty.

Zhang Guofeng walked into the reserved orchard holding the saplings and said bitterly: "Poor grandpa has only lived for twenty years, and has experienced more things than a fifty-year-old man."

If the matchmaker can help me find a good wife, I will be very satisfied. ”

Li Dingguo looked up at the Phoenix Mountain in the distance and shook his head. He felt that he was still young and it was uneconomical to spend too much energy on his family.

There were chicken, fish, and slivers of meat. The noodles had been cooked, mixed with oil, and left to dry. On the sieve, the tomato and egg toppings looked very appetizing.

When Matchmaker Wang came, she brought a girl with her. Her head was lowered to her chest and her eyebrows could not be seen clearly. She was wearing a light green dress. She was so fat that her waist could not be seen.

As soon as she entered the door, Matchmaker Wang asked her daughter to help Aunt Liu while she sat at the banquet and chatted with Zhang Guofeng and Li Dingguo.

If the general likes our peasant girl, leave the rest of the old woman to do it.

Zhang Guofeng smiled and toasted Matchmaker Wang with a glass of wine and said: "In the army, I am considered a loser. If my daughter wants me to be a marquis and prime minister, then forget it." ”

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Matchmaker Wang burst into laughter and kept saying that the girl was attracted by Zhang Guofeng, and she was just aThose who enjoy the blessings will not dare to ask for a title or title. It would be a great blessing if Zhang Guofeng came back from the battlefield safely.

The banquet was a joyful one, and the drinking was lively. Seeing that Zhang Guofeng was very satisfied with the girl, matchmaker Wang asked Zhang Guofeng for a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver on the spot, and asked Li Dingguo to write it according to her instructions. After exchanging the wedding invitations, they happily took their daughter away.

After the people left, Li Dingguo took Zhang Guofeng’s wedding invitation and read it again and again, and said to Zhang Guofeng: "Isn’t it too childish? Do you see clearly what that girl looks like? What if she grows up to be Xu?" It's terrible when you think about it."

Zhang Guofeng took a sip and drank the wine in the glass: "She looks good, and she is also a smart girl."

Li Dingguo said in surprise: "She didn't say a word, and she never raised her head from the beginning to the end. How do you know that she is a smart woman with good looks?"

Zhang Guofeng said with a smile: "Your brother is mine. The identity is here, and she is marrying a matchmaker. Do you think that matchmaker dares to lie to our brothers?

She is so bad-looking and has such bad character that she dares to lead us in front of us?

Do you know that when we were eating, the girl brought me clear soup three times, and she smiled at me three times in the soup? She has an oval face, fair skin, big eyes, curved eyebrows, and small white teeth. The big black teeth that are common in Guanzhong!

I don’t want you to see them because you know the etiquette. Let me see them because the girl is confident in her appearance. You can’t go wrong with marrying such a girl.

Li Dingguo was dumbfounded, shook his head and said, “We need to let the Secret Service check it out.”

Zhang Guofeng nodded and said: "Then report it!"

Li Dingguo shook his head and left Zhang Guofeng's home. He felt that this guy had gone crazy. He had a chance to become a marquis and prime minister. People, now they only want to marry a girl from a private school teacher's family, which is extremely short-sighted.

Zhang Guofeng obviously didn’t think so. Looking at the sparse saplings in the orchard, he suddenly frowned. He felt that there should be a jujube tree and two grapes missing in the garden. These small fruits were the children. Their favorite fruit.

While it was still bright, I took my shovel to the orchard that Li Dingguo spent a lot of money to decorate, and dug five jujube trees and three grape vines in one go, regardless of the darkness. Light the torches and plant these new fruit trees in your garden.

At this time, the sky was already full of stars. Zhang Guofeng stood alone under the lantern, looking at the dark night sky and letting out bursts of infiltrating laughter.

Yun Zhao took out Zhang Guofeng’s marriage proposal from a thick stack of marriage documents, took a look at it and thought to Xu Wu: “Ask Zhang Guofeng again, he doesn’t need to keep a low profile like this, it’s absolutely fine. Marry my sister."

Xu Wuxiang shook his head and said, "I've already asked, and I was told that I don't want to marry a god. They also said that this woman named Wang is very good, and urged me. Pass the trial as soon as possible so that he can prepare for the marriage!"

"How did my sister become a god?"

Xu Wuxiang sneered and said: "Look at what kind of life Gao Jie is living now. No one wants to marry your sister."

"Is there something wrong with this woman? Did she deliberately approach Zhang Guofeng to win his favor? If so, we must investigate carefully.

Intelligence work must not be done Careless."

Yun Zhao looked over the marriage application document over and over again, but couldn't find anything wrong with it, so he warned Xu Wuxiang.

Xu Wuxiang said leisurely: "The girl's name is Wang Cui. She has lived in Beichuan, Lantian County. Her father, Wang Huidong, is my scribe in Beichuan, Lantian. My mother, Wang Liu, is Lantian. My brother, Wang Yuantu, is Lantian." The boss of the No. 7 caravan on the Yunnan Road in the county will become the second manager of the caravan after two more years of experience.

He also has a younger brother and a younger sister, both of whom are studying at my Yushan Academy.

p>

If the county magistrate thinks that such a family has problems, and asks the county magistrate to draw up the document himself, I will immediately order Wang Huidong to be captured and his whole family beheaded in public!"

Yun Zhao scratched his chin, Sighing: "I just asked you to be careful, and I didn't ask you to create an unjust case."

Xu Wu thought: "So Zhang Guofeng's wedding invitation is considered a pass?"

Yun Zhao said helplessly: "Can't I force my head on the cow if it doesn't drink water?"

Xu Wuxiang took Zhang Guofeng's marriage proposal document, stamped it heavily with the word "agree", and also used The brush wrote a congratulatory word on it, and Yun Zhao kept curling his lips as he looked at it.

There are still seven or eight girls in the family waiting to get married. However, looking at Lantian County, none of them who think they have some potential are willing to marry.

On the other hand, those people with no reputation, such as the King of Qin, Shaanxi's chief envoy, inspector, Xi'an prefect, and even Nanjing's censor, salt merchants, and big businessmen frequently showed their favor to Yun Niang. , expressing that his legitimate son very much hopes to marry Yun's daughter.

"Ugly people tend to cause mischief!"

Yun Zhao gritted his teeth and said to Xu Wuxiang.

Xu Wuxiang sniffed and said: "We are ugly, but in our hearts we think of beauty. With my talent, grandpa, do you think I won't be able to get a beautiful wife?"

Yun Zhao said contemptuously: "I hope it will be as you wish."

Xu Wuxiang chuckled and said: "This prosperous age will definitely appear as I wish, and this beauty will definitely appear as I wish. If you want to appear on my bed, there won’t even be one! Hahaha..."

I envy Xu Wuxiang for being able to look up to the sky and go out laughing, they are not Peng Peng people.

Autumn passed, Lu Xiangsheng was not beheaded, and Han Lingshan was naturally not beheaded.

This makes Lu Xiangsheng so disappointed...

Every time an official comes to the imperial edict, Lu Xiangsheng looks forward to his last moments. His mood is very stable, even a little... eager.

People will eventually become depressed after being disappointed again and again.

The same is true for Lu Xiangsheng. Qiu Jie would never have had him, there will always be some prisoners who die of cold, hunger, poverty and disease in winter, and such a good thing did not happen to him.

He originally wanted to go on a hunger strike and die.

As a result, he did not know when he became the savior of the other prisoners - because the rations of the prisoners in the prison were determined based on Lu Xiangsheng's food intake.

If he doesn’t eat one bite, then the prisoners in the entire prison will not have food to eat. On the contrary, if he eats two large bowls of food in a row, the other prisoners will also have two large bowls of rice. Eat...

At first, Lu Xiangsheng didn't care, thinking that the guards were just scaring him. As a result, after he went on a hunger strike for three days, he saw with his own eyes that the guards dragged three people out of the prison. Death from hunger.

Listening to the pleading voices of the prisoners in the prison, Lu Xiangsheng had to pick up the chopsticks again...

As a result, the jailers here could see Lu Xiangsheng's expression of sadness and anger every day Chewy!

So, the long winter has passed. Because of the abundant food, Lu Xiangsheng’s body not only did not lose weight, but gained a lot of weight, and his face was rosy and full of vitality!

After being locked up in prison for a long time, he even felt as if he had been forgotten by the world.

Han Lingshan, who lived opposite him, was busy writing and writing every day, and he was restless. Lu Xiangsheng did not want to pay attention to this person.

Until one day, Han Lingshan seemed to have finished writing the last word, threw away the brush, and screamed in the prison like a giant monkey, seeming to be celebrating something.

Looking at Han Lingshan carefully putting a thick stack of manuscripts into a bamboo basket, leaning against the stone wall of the prison with a happy smile on his face, Lu Xiangsheng finally couldn't help it anymore and asked: "What did you write?"

Han Lingshan squinted his eyes and enjoyed the rare sunshine and said lightly: "This is my hard work in the past five years. In the past five years, I have traveled all over Guanzhong, and with the The caravan came all the way to the capital, and the book recorded what I saw, heard, thought, and thought in the past five years.

I really want to know from these words, my Ming Yangyang Empire, Why is it reduced to such a situation that everyone can be bullied?

I really want to know why our country, with its abundant resources and outstanding people, suffers from continuous disasters and makes people miserable.

I am very sad. I want to know what is the ultimate reason why we are in such a predicament? Is it a natural disaster, a catastrophe, or both?

I would like to know where is the way out of this sea of ​​suffering? , What can we do to restore the glory of our Yangyang Empire?"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded lonely and said: "I also want to know..."

Han Lingshan smiled. : "I will leave here tomorrow to continue my journey and visit Jianzhou as a visiting scholar to see why the people of Jianzhou have become so powerful in just a few decades.

I would like to compare the advantages and disadvantages of Lantian County’s policies with those of the Jianzhou people.square.

After comparison, let’s see if there is a better strategy that can change the current decline of our Ming Dynasty.

Lu Xiangsheng said excitedly: "This is a very necessary thing. You have to be careful along the way. The slaves are cruel and they may not allow you to enter their land." "

Han Lingshan said: "It doesn't matter, I will go to Liaodong with the official documents from Lantian County to meet Huang Taiji, Dorgon and their main figures.

Mr. Lu, Buck Ya Ping will bring wine today. Let’s have a drink together and treat it as your farewell to the students.

Lu Xiangsheng said lonelyly: "You are very good, and you can still do such an important thing, but I can't live or die, and it's miserable." "

Han Lingshan saw that Lu Xiangsheng's eyes always fell on the basket containing his manuscripts intentionally or unintentionally, so he generously handed the basket to Lu Xiangsheng and said: "Please give me some advice, Mr. Lu. "

Lu Xiangsheng grabbed the basket excitedly and trembled: "Can I see it? "

Han Lingshan smiled and said: "You deserve to see it the most and you are the most qualified to see it. ”

Lu Xiangsheng couldn’t be polite and washed his hands. Then he carefully opened the basket, took out a stack of manuscripts and read them carefully.

This manuscript was opened before Lu Xiangsheng’s eyes. Opening up a world he had never imagined or touched.

In this manuscript, Han Lingshan started from the beginning of his fortune in Lantian County and continued to write about the agriculture, commerce, and development of Lantian County. The rise of industry.

This new world made Lu Xiangsheng tremble with excitement. When he read that Yun Zhao burned the IOU and vowed to revitalize Lantian County, he slapped the railings and shouted loudly!

When he read that the people of Lantian County worked together to build canals, build reservoirs, and carry ice cubes into the fields to increase moisture, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

When he read that Yun Zhao led Yun! When the thieves of the clan disarmed all the armed forces in Lantian County and eliminated the local tyrants and evil gentry everywhere, he gritted his teeth and wished he could personally participate in this vigorous operation.

When he read this. When everyone in Lantian County opened a business road and brought goods from all over the world to Lantian, turning Lantian County from a grass market into a major merchant town in the world, Lu Xiangsheng laughed heartily and kept saying "wonderful and magnificent words" .

When he read that Yunzhao was determined to lead Baiqi to the west entrance, and that the big man of Baiqi was roaring across the grassland and was invincible, the heart in his chest thumped, thumped, and seemed to be torn apart. Only when his chest is broken and can he jump freely on the earth will he feel comfortable.

"I regard the Ming Dynasty as my home. What skills can a hero do in his den? I should carry a three-foot sword and ride a horse across the territory, snatch food from the enemy's mouth, make money from the enemy, conquer the enemy, and control the enemy. The enemy must use his long whip to bind the dragon and control the world, so that he can live up to my ambition as a man!"

After reading this, Lu Xiangsheng dropped the manuscript, grabbed the railing with both hands and shook it vigorously, shouting at the top of his lungs! : "This is a man's ambition!"

Buck Yaping took a careful look at Lu Xiangsheng, who looked like a crazy man.He glanced at it and said to Han Lingshan in a low voice: "Why don't I remember the county magistrate said this? I only remember him saying that our way to get rich is right on the road, and people are stupid and easy to cheat..."

If you don't modify the county magistrate's words, you How do you think those soft words are so inspiring?"

Buck Ya Ping nodded in agreement, drank a glass of wine with Han Lingshan and continued: "If you leave tomorrow, what if Lu Xiangsheng commits suicide? ?”

Han Lingshan said with a smile: “If this doesn’t inspire his will to live, then letting him die and fulfilling his wish is the most respectful way.

For some people, life may not bring happiness, death does!”

“Do you really want to go to Jianzhou?”

“You must go. , you have to think of a way, don't let me die in Jianzhou."

"Since your ambition has been set, you can only hope that Jiannu will also abide by the war between the two countries. "No, my ambition is set. If there is more than half chance of death, I will change my ambition to a safer one."

Lu Xiangsheng spent a whole day reading Han Lingshan's manuscript, and then sat motionless on the edge of the railing.

Looking blankly at Han Lingshan packing his things and preparing to leave.

"I really want to go to Lantian County..."

Han Lingshan heard Lu Xiangsheng's muttering and said with a smile: "Since I want to go to Lantian County, then Just leave, just like a man?"

Lu Xiangsheng said sadly: "I am a prisoner, I can't leave."

Han Lingshan took a bag from under the bed. Zhang handed the shabby notice to Lu Xiangsheng and said: "You have been beheaded and I have been chopped up. Now, the two of us are just two ghosts."

Lu Xiangsheng took the notice, opened it and took a look. He closed his eyes in pain and shouted: "Don't they verify the identity of the criminal when they execute him?"

Han Lingshan sneered: "Put money on your eyes, do you think you can still see?" "What?"

Lu Xiangsheng said in a sad voice: "I am an imperial prisoner and a national traitor, how can I be such a childish person?"

Han Lingshan sneered: "As long as your Majesty does not personally supervise the execution, no?" Your Majesty personally verified the identity of the prisoner, and it was easy for the guards to replace him."

Lu Xiangsheng calmed down, looked at Han Lingshan and said, "How much money did Lantian County spend to save me?"

Han Lingshan shook his head and said: "Ask your two housekeepers. All the money is the result of the frugality of your Lu family. Lao An and his female relatives weave endlessly every day. , men are looking for part-time jobs in Lantian County to make money. After your most valued ninth brother finishes lecturing students every day, he will take off his robe, take off his literary cap, and put on a coarse short coat to work on the construction site.

The county magistrate once gave money to Lao An.An Ren didn't take any money and returned it to the county magistrate. He also said that Lu Xiangsheng's living was a shame to the Lu family. However, Lu Xiangsheng's living was her biggest wish in this life as an old woman. She wanted to see her before she died. Son, she thought that after she died, her son would wear sackcloth and mourn for her.

As for Lu Xiangsheng's survival, it is the selfishness of this old pious woman. If the ancestors of the Lu family want to ask, they should ask her, this old pious woman! "

When Lu Xiangsheng heard what Han Lingshan said, he said expressionlessly: "Lu Fu, where is Lu Shou? "

Han Lingshan said: "They have been living in a cottage outside the prison for more than half a year. "

Lu Xiangsheng sighed slightly and took off his prison uniform and said: "Let's go out together! "

Han Lingshan laughed and said: "Leave it to be useful and see how brilliant the new mountains and rivers are! Mr. Lu, let’s go! "

With a smile, Buck Yaping removed the iron chain hanging on the railing and opened the cell door.

Lu Xiangsheng sighed and said: "I have been in jail for nearly seven months. , only then did we know that Lu was drawing the ground as a prison. ”

Han Lingshan, a familiar person, led the way. Lu Xiangsheng walked behind Han Lingshan, and Buck-toothed Ping walked at the end. Golden beans kept falling out of his sleeves, and the jailers kept swallowing from their throats. He was slobbering, but he stood upright, turning a blind eye to the three people walking in front of him.

The three of them walked for a full stick of incense before they walked out of Beizhen Fusi's prison.

p>

After walking out of the prison, Lu Xiangsheng realized that it was already dark and there was no one outside the prison. Buck Yaping pointed to a group of uncertain fire on the edge of the woods in the distance and said: "Lu Fu, Lu Shou It should be right there. "

Lu Xiangsheng touched the tangled beard on his face and said, "Let me go wash up." "

After saying that, he walked straight to the thatched cottage over there.

Zhou Guoping frowned and said to Han Lingshan, "Aren't you going to wash up?

Han Lingshan stretched out and approached Buck Ya Ping and said: "Taking a cold bath is nothing like taking a bath. I have made great contributions to Lantian County again and helped you Buck Ya Ping again. Could it be that Shouldn't you find me the best restaurant, find the most beautiful girl here, prepare fragrant soup for me, clean my body inch by inch with a silk handkerchief, trim my nails, and shave off my beard? "

Zhou Guoping sneered: "Dream! "

Han Lingshan said: "I heard that there is a fairy in your boudoir who is very good at serving men. It is not impossible to ask her to help me bathe! ”

Zhou Guoping said: “This is my private life, it’s not your turn to take care of it.” "

Han Lingshan put his dirty face almost on Zhou Guoping's face and said sullenly: "There is nothing wrong with a woman being a womanizer. You can send her to your mansion in Lantian. , it is taboo to carry it with you!

You should understand what I mean, right? "

Zhou Guoping said: "I reported the matter and also sent a wedding invitation to the county official. ”

“Did the County Lord agree? "

Zhou Guoping said: "No.be opposed to. ”

“Stupid, if you don’t agree, you are not allowed!” Do you want me to teach you this? As a secret agent, why would you stay with me instead of sending me to Lantian County when you have a family? ”

Han Lingshan’s usual scoundrel spirit disappeared at this moment. His eyes were staring at Zhou Guoping like a hawk, as if he was not the one who was making jokes with Zhou Guoping not long ago.< /p>

Zhou Guoping sighed and said: "I will send that poor woman back to Lantian. "

Han Lingshan sneered and said: "Do you really think that Cao Huachun is a piece of mud that can be kneaded by people like you?

If the people from Jiangnan Road hadn't pinched Cao Huachun's nephew Dai Xiao, Zhou Guoping's head would have been moved, and Lu Xiangsheng would have been executed.

Remember, don’t feel sorry for anyone. After you figure things out, you will find that you are the most pitiful person.

We in Lantian County don’t like individuals to stand out. We pay attention to the overall interests. We are also a complete collective. You have to remember this.

After Lu Xiangsheng and I left, the transaction with Cao Huachun was completely over.

Zhou Guoping, I think you will receive an order to leave the capital soon! "

Zhou Guoping's forehead was covered with sweat.

Han Lingshan stopped talking and waited silently for Zhou Guoping to digest these words.

Lu Xiangsheng The bathing time was not long, and after a stick of incense, two housekeepers appeared next to Han Lingshan, carrying burdens and tears in their eyes.

Han Lingshan smiled and said to Zhou Guoping: "You owe me. I am a favor and must be treated with the best bathing method. "

Zhou Guoping said coldly: "Dream!

Lu Xiangsheng chuckled and said: "Lu said goodbye and wished Mr. Han a safe arrival in Jianzhou. A certain family will go now." "

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng leave with his old servant, Han Lingshan said to Zhou Guoping: "I hope he will not cause any more trouble and rush to Lantian County as soon as possible.

People like him have no way to survive in the Ming Dynasty. "

Zhou Guoping said: "People like you who look bright but are actually like night owls should not live in this world. "

Han Lingshan smiled and said: "I am a person who stands in the darkness and looks up to the light. The subtle changes that you can't see clearly when you stand in the light cannot escape my eyes.

When one day, when the light shines on the whole world and there is no dark corner for me to live in, I will stand under the sun and enjoy the light! ”
