After being passed on the three-move sword style, Feng Buhang asked Su Che to talk about the current situation in the DPRK.
It is said to be a court affair but actually it is also a family matter.
In the northern war situation, although Wang Yuanying of Zhongshan was defeated, the Northern Dynasty still had spare strength. Reinforcements gathered from all walks of life, the Huaihe River swollen causing disasters, and the supply of military rations was insufficient. Wei Huaiwen was in a dilemma.
Su Che's eldest brother has already asked for help in front of the battle. He wants to stay in the north and asks Wei Huaiwen to lead the army to slowly retreat southward.
Su Che didn't know much about military affairs and could see that staying in the North was a dead end.
The war in the north is at a stalemate. On the ten continents of the East China Sea, the Izumo Kingdom and the Hyuga Kingdom sent envoys to the DPRK. These two countries are located on the East China Sea and have always been obedient vassals of Daliang. They heard that Wei Huaiwen had won a great victory. The Northern Dynasty sent envoys to congratulate him.
The emperor then ordered people to choose a navy to sail eastward to appease the two countries. The second son of the Su family was also promoted from the sixth-rank secretary to Taichang Temple to serve as Taichang Shaoqing and serve as an envoy to appease the two countries. .
After all, the elder in the family is considered a member of the palace. The three brothers of the Su family are all outside, and there is no one in the Duling Su family's capital.
"The second young master had told his family before he left that he would send someone to take care of him. Su Gong also agreed."
Feng could not do business first and then private affairs. After the important affairs of the court were explained, we talked about the Su family's family affairs.
"I know that the Third Young Master is unwilling, but the war in the north is fierce and dangerous, and the misfortunes and blessings at sea are difficult to rely on, the Third Young Master still reluctantly does it."
Su Che answered every sentence, I probably have some understanding of the changes in the DPRK and at home.
Among the three brothers of the Su family, the eldest and the second are both career-oriented and want to find opportunities to revive the prestige of the Duling Su family, and the elder of the Su family seems to be following this brave and enterprising path. , happy to see them succeed.
It sounds a bit risky, if anything happens. For example, the king of Zhongshan in the north showed great power, and the boss of the Su family was defeated and died.
Or maybe there was a sudden storm or sea monster on the trip to the East China Sea, and the second son of the Su family capsized and died.
Or maybe something happened here in Xuanshan, some dizzy demon king fought to the death, and the newly appointed Tiqili deputy deputy Qianhu Susan died in a royal incident.
The only way is to see if the martial arts cultivation of the elder in the palace has the means to revive the dead wood.
Another thing is that the elder of the Su family is thinking of ways to get engaged.
It is common for high-ranking people in Daliang to arrange marriage with each other. At this level, their bad reputations don’t matter.
In marriages between high-ranking families, character and appearance are secondary. The main thing is to look at the lintel.
The Du Lingsu family's marriage was also selected from among the martial arts families who were born in Yongzhou, but no suitable one was selected for the time being.
After talking for a few days, Su Che announced his resignation to Mr. Feng.
Feng Buhang said that he asked Suche to follow him to handle confidential documents. In fact, he did not want him to be trapped in the situation like Shi Chibao. There was no real secret for Suche to handle.
Master SuPlease leave. If Feng can't do it, he won't be left here. He just made an appointment to come back to the camp to practice swordsmanship tomorrow morning.
Su Che also went back to the county office early to change into casual clothes.
Tonight I made an appointment with the little fox to visit the big tomb in Niushou Village, and "Wuzhiqi" from the Zhongshan Society will also participate.
This time can be regarded as a small gathering of several members of the Zhongshan Society, so Su Che naturally had to make plans in advance.
Having changed his clothes in advance, Su Che pretended to be a wealthy young man, wearing a pale white Sichuan brocade gown, a crane-headed jade hairpin on his head, and a yellow Sichuan brocade strip tied on his forehead. He took it with him and took out a folding fan with a fragrant wood beauty fan.
Second Master Su asked Zhang San, the yamen officer, to inquire about the situation at Niushou Mountain. Knowing that the village was about an hour's walk from the county seat, he set off directly in the direction of Niushou Village.
Niushou Village is located in the south of Shanyin County, not far from Xuanshan Mountain. It got its name because there is a Niushou Mountain behind the village. The population in the village is not large, and there are no famous specialties.
It is similar to many villages in Shanyin County and has no characteristics.
There is just a towering mound behind the village near Niushou Mountain, which is said to be a large tomb left over from the previous dynasty.
At this time in Niushou Village, although it was daytime, the clouds were gloomy and the miasma was dense. The sun was covered by the clouds and miasma, and as far as the eye could see, it looked like dusk.
The miasma is suffocating, and in the pale and dim miasma, there are chirping sounds. Occasionally, with a glance, the shape of monsters can be vaguely seen in the layers of miasma.
Strungs of green light the size of lanterns floated in the miasma. It was unknown whether they were the torches used by the demons for lighting or the eyes of the big demons salivating for blood.
Every house is closed, only two red lanterns are lit in the ancestral hall of the ancestors. A man is wearing a yellow robe, holding a mahogany sword in his right hand, a hexagram mirror hanging high in his left hand, stepping on Yu steps, chanting sutras orally. arts.
Wires of spiritual light flew out from his body and went straight into the ancestral hall.
This gathering of spiritual light suppressed the miasma, preventing it from flooding the ancestral hall.
"...Swerve one's mind to the destiny ceremony, the best is the most pure..."
Lin Jiugong finished reciting the scriptures and breathed a long sigh of relief.
He carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a few steps back, and gently knocked on the door of the ancestral hall behind him.
The door creaked open, leaving a gap for people to stand sideways.
Lin Jiugong took a step forward and was immediately surrounded by a group of people, including men and women, old and young. There were more than two hundred people in total. The villagers of Niushou Village actually hid in Into this ancestral hall.
Three old men, four young men, seven aunts and eight aunts talked nonsense. Even a person like Lin Jiugong, who was accustomed to the world, was a little hard to resist for a while.
In the end, several senior village elders stood up to stop everyone. This gave Lin Jiugong a chance to breathe and retreat to the other side.
Not far away, his eldest disciple Qiu Sheng and a group of people were waiting for him there with furrowed brows.
Among these people.
There is a tuotuo with a ring on his head, a soap-colored ziyi, and hemp shoes. His face is as red as red dates, he carries two ring knives on his back, and he holds a water-milled Zen staff in his hand. There was a small green snake between his neck that kept spitting out messages.
There was a swordsman with a leopard head and eyes and a beard. He was wearing linen clothes and a leopard skin. He had an eight-sided ancient sword with a ring head that was more than four feet long on his back, and tied around his waist was a swordsman. Green-skinned gourd, eyes flashing.
There was a girl, petite in stature, delicate in facial features, and too beautiful to be alive. She had two round buns on her head, a bulging leather bag around her waist, and a green shirt. She was holding an ocher jade flute with her left hand and had a slightly sad look between her brows.
When Natoutuo saw Lin Jiugong retreating, he immediately stepped forward and asked.
"Brother Jiugong, how is the situation?"
Lin Jiugong glanced at him, first smiled brightly, and then gently waved his hand to signal his disciple Qiu Sheng to step forward to cover the probing eyes of the villagers. , then frowned slightly and shook his head.
“This miasma is a combination of demonic energy and yin energy, coming from Xuanshan Mountain. Ordinary people will get seriously ill if they take a few puffs. I think it’s probably because there is a demon king in Shanyin County. Take action."
The leopard-headed knight frowned and said, "Should we explore the big tomb in Niushou Mountain? And you don't know where your disciples are scattered. "
Thinking of literary talent, Lin Jiugong let out a long sigh.
Since the changes in Kulin Temple, Lin Jiugong has been recruiting friends from all over the place. Among the three people in front of him, two of them are his old friends.
