Chapter 9: The Man Who Looks to the Light

Behind every beautieth in distress is a poignant and moving story.

The same is true of the twenty-two-year-old Master Xuanjing.

She was originally the daughter of Fan Jingdong, the imperial physician of the Ming Imperial Physician's Department, just because her father served the previous emperor of the Ming Dynasty and ate the immortal medicine, and after the emperor ate the immortal medicine, he accidentally controlled Bintian!

As a result, their whole family suffered.

Her father, Fan Jingdong, was killed by the empress with a cane, the men of the family were sold into slavery, and all the women went to the royal temple to pray for the deceased emperor.

She was lucky to be taken out of the temple in the capital by the master to become a monk in Baiyi Nunnery, and it took a year to become the owner of the nunnery.

"Liar!"

Qian Duoduo took a bite of the crisp peach, and by the way, vetoed the story of Master Xuanjing.

Since the pregnancy was confirmed, Qian Duoduo's mood has immediately changed dramatically, from a little woman who is in the period of Ai Ai, to a proud and arrogant empress.

Feng Ying nodded and said, "If this Master Xuanjing is really willing to return to the vulgar, it is also a good thing, but the person chosen is not very good." ”

Yun Zhao said angrily: "What's wrong with my brother? ”

Feng Ying touched his waist that had not changed and said lazily: "Good husband, don't you have the accuracy yourself?" ”

Qian Duoduo stuffed the half-eaten peach into Xiao Chu's mouth and clapped his hands and said, "A beauty like me is worthy of a tragic past."

Forget about the kind of woman that Master Xuan Jing. ”

Feng Ying smiled: "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 Ru They are like me, they were all discovered at a young age, whether they are in Zhangtai or in the teaching workshop, because they have a priceless face, so the treatment is not bad."

Where would anyone be willing to let them into the temple and let her grow up to be twenty-two years old in vain?

If it's true, her luck isn't ordinary.

Even if she is a criminal official, even if the queen's decree is below, it will be distorted by execution, those people themselves are human flesh and rice, and their courage is greater than the sky, and they don't want any silver in their hands. ”

Feng Ying frowned when she heard this, and said to Yun Zhao: "The secret spy department has checked it?" ”

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "The family belongs to the sect of the head of the Dongchang Zhixuzi Dao, and they are also one of the six concubines of the Zhixuzi Daoist. ”

"Who is the Void Stopper?"

"Cao Huachun, the great eunuch of the East Factory!"

Qian Duoduo waved his hand and slapped his nose twice and said, "Eunuchs also need concubines?" But that's right, after you said this, the story of Master Xuan Jing is much more true. ”

Yun Zhao grinned and said, "Eunuchs also need emotional comfort, can't people pretend to be a man?"

Having said that, if this guy Yun Yang can't even grab a eunuch's concubine, I really have nothing to say. ”

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

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "This is Luo Yaping's ability, she snatched Cao Huachun's other concubine. ”

Hearing Yun Zhao say this, Qian Duoduo and Feng Ying immediately became interested, and they all came to Yun Zhao and whispered, "Tell me ......."

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

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

Yunchun said aggrievedly: "We also want to hear it." ”

Qian Duoduo said: "You are all yellow flower girls, it's not suitable to listen, get out quickly!" ”

When the three maids reluctantly left the house, Yun Zhao spread his hands and said, "Luo Yaping refused to say it, but just recounted the incident and the process, but didn't say it." ”

"......Shh

Qian Duoduo, Feng Ying waved their handkerchiefs together.

"Could it be a woman dressed as a man? It's impossible, just the buck teeth of Luo Yaping, even if a man dresses up as a woman, he can't see there. ”

Qian Duoduo's eyes rolled, God knows what dirty thoughts were turning in her heart.

Feng Ying hurriedly stopped Qian Duoduo's cranky thoughts and said to Yun Zhao: "In the end, it is the general under your command, don't you dare to make a show of them." ”

Yun Zhao spread his hands and said: "Xu Wu thought that they had already sent a message to ask about it, and he also expressed his admiration. ”

"Filthy ......"

Feng Ying scoffed, and Qian Duoduo said that after Luo Yaping replied, he must let her take a look!

Yun Zhao can't 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 pushed open the door and walked in unhappily.

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

Li Dingguo's subordinates have already changed twice, and the army he commands is the most attritional army in Lantian County, and there is no one.

However, the army he commanded was also the one with the most military merits, and there was no one.

Yun Zhao originally planned to let Li Dingguo command the remaining Mongolian cavalry, but he categorically refused, he was only willing to fight with the Han people, even if the Mongolian cavalry was large, he was unwilling to ask for it, saying that he was fighting with such a group of people, and his back was always cold and he couldn't fight with peace of mind.

Therefore, this time he came to Yushan, which was to prepare to re-select some recruits to supplement his cavalry team, and the number of cavalry under his command was also expanded to 1,500 because of the accumulation of military exploits.

Don't look at the small number of this army, but, counting the logistics baggage army, the total number exceeds 3,000 people.

Yun Zhao still didn't understand what a cavalry like him wanted those light artillery to do.

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

Perhaps, this is the result of Li Dingguo's careful consideration, it is he himself who is responsible for his army, not Yun Zhao, so for Li Dingguo's proposal to add fifty light artillery pieces to the army, Yun Zhao finally approved.

However, such a new army will need a lot of training time from planning to completion, and it will be able to cooperate seamlessly.

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

The military system of Lantian County is no different from the military system of the Ming Dynasty, the person who really commands the army in the Ming Army should be the commander of a thousand households, and in wartime the Imperial Court draws the guard army for the general to command, after the war, the guard army returns to the guard.

The only difference between the Lantian Army and the Ming Army is that the commander does not need to take his soldiers to Tuntian, their military expenses and grain and grass are allocated by the county, and their daily focus is training, training, and retraining.

The army is not allowed to do business, nor can it be farmed, or even do anything related to economic activities.

Yun Zhao had seen too many such lessons from the long history, as long as the army was contaminated with economic activities, its combat power would drop sharply.

It's worth the cost......

However, Lantian County's rewards for military merits are also extremely generous, even if there is no war, the income of an ordinary soldier exceeds that of ordinary people, not to mention that once they start fighting, their income will increase greatly.

Therefore, Lantian County never uses troops easily, and once the soldiers are used, there must be enough returns, which are either strategic or economic.

This requires that as long as the Lantian Army fights, it must win in a short period of time.

This is also Yun Zhao's requirement for this army - come as soon as it is called, and the battle will be won!

Zhang Guofeng returned to his small manor, sat under the eaves of the blue brick and tiled house that had been built, drank tea, and looked at the pale green spring scene in front of him.

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

This dog was caught when he came back, just weaned, and it was cute to be fed fat by Zhang Guofeng.

Whether it is Zhang Guofeng or Li Dingguo, there is no need to farm the land himself, this year, there are many people who come to Guanzhong to escape the famine, and as long as they spend a little money, they can hire very good farmers.

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

Zhang Guofeng's three large tile houses are magnificent, and wings and warehouses have been built on both sides, half of the yard with one acre of land has been set aside as an orchard and vegetable garden, and the other half of the land has also built a small flower garden, and the rest of the open space is covered with green bricks, which turned dark blue after a light rain last night.

Coupled with the fat milk dog at his feet, this is the prototype of Zhang Guofeng's dream home!

He likes to lie on the recliner and watch his home when he has nothing to do, even if Li Dingguo invites him, he is reluctant to go.

Li Dingguo's home is much more magnificent, it is a three-entry courtyard, and a two-story pavilion has been built in the middle.

Zhang Guofeng is not envious of Li Dingguo's family at all, because in such a big family, Li Dingguo is the only one.

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

Zhang Guofeng is naturally very thrifty, he wants to keep the money and leave it to his wife after marrying a wife, 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 mansion.

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, and half of his monthly salary had to be deducted to pay off his debts.

"Guofeng, come to my house to fish."

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

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

"Our brother can go to the river and catch a fish, put it in the fish pond, and catch it again!"

Zhang Guofeng was not moved by Li Dingguo's stupid suggestion, he was ready to rest enough, and after he had rested enough, he would plant a few rare apple trees in the orchard, of course, a few rhubarb apricots, persimmon trees, and walnut trees...... In the future, the children will be greedy, and if they don't plant more fruit trees, they will go to harm the fruits of his Uncle Li's house......

Just when he was imagining the future, Li Dingguo's sweaty face appeared on top of Zhang Guofeng's head, and he took off the straw hat that Zhang Guofeng buckled on his face and said, "You really invited a matchmaker?" ”

Zhang Guofeng glanced at Li Dingguo's surprised face and said, "I am twenty years old this year, no matter how I count it, I should start a family." ”

"Huh? You can't look down on any of those women in Yushan Academy? Even if they don't look good, you can still plan the girls in Yunzhao's family. ”

Zhang Guofeng said lazily: "I just want a mother-in-law, this mother-in-law doesn't need to be good-looking, how smart, as long as she can give me a baby, I can bring me a bowl of hot rice when I go home, and know how to sew it for me when my clothes are torn, and I can sew a few pairs of shoes close to my feet when I go out, if I can know a few words, it would be the best."

Are the women in Yushan Academy women?

One by one seems to be busier than us, where is the time to do this for me, maybe Lao Tzu will serve her, and then rely on working in the center to play with my temper, I don't want such a wife.

As for the sisters of the county family, Lao Tzu respects Bumin, and the bastard only marries the princess. ”

Li Dingguo smiled and said, "Don't you want those goblins in Mingyue Tower?" ”

Zhang Guofeng shook his head and said: "Lao Tzu is enough to give people shabu-shabu, which is a really thankless thing.

You eat here tonight, and I will ask the aunt of the Liu family to prepare a few more dishes.

Don't talk nonsense when the matchmaker comes, I'm marrying a wife, you have to be serious, we can't lack the etiquette we should have.

Now, help me plant trees, and when the children grow up, these fruit trees should bear fruit. ”

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

Zhang Guofeng walked into the reserved orchard with the saplings in his arms and said hatefully: "Poor grandpa has only lived for twenty years, and he has passed more things than fifty-year-olds.

If the matchmaker is hard and can find me a good wife to come back, 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 young, and it was not cost-effective to spend too much energy on his home.

In the evening, the aunt of the Liu family hired by Zhang Guofeng had prepared a table of good meals for him.

There are chickens, fish, and slivers of meat, the noodles are cooked, mixed with oil and then dried on a sieve, and the toppings of the tomatoes and eggs are very appetizing.

When Mrs. Wang came, she brought a girl, her head hung down to her chest and her eyebrows and eyes could not be seen clearly, and the light green dress on her body was so fat that she couldn't see her waist.

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

This matchmaker is not annoying, she looks white and fat, and she is not very old, with a green cloth handkerchief wrapped around her head, and she looks festive.

To be a matchmaker for people like Zhang Guofeng, Mrs. Wang has no intention of outflow of fat and water, and from time to time points to the girl who is busy in the kitchen and says to Zhang Guofeng: "The girl is sixteen, the body has just grown, and it will be fully opened after a year, it is a good birth, and it can be regarded as knowing the roots, it is my niece, my father is Mr. private school, in the past two years, all the children in our county went to Yushan, he did not teach private school, went to Beichuan as a clerk, and was very kind, although the girl did not read much, but also read and hyphenated, and did a good embroidery job.

If the general takes a fancy to the daughter of our peasant family, the rest of the old women will do it. ”

Zhang Guofeng smiled and saluted Mrs. Wang's matchmaker with a glass of wine and said: "In the army, I am considered a worthless person, if my daughter wants me to be a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister, then forget it." ”

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Mrs. Wang smiled and said again and again that the girl was favored by Zhang Guofeng, and she was a blessed person, where did she dare to ask for anything to pay homage to the prime minister, and it was a great blessing to ask Zhang Guofeng to return from the battlefield safely.

A wine banquet was happy to eat and drink, and the matchmaker Wang saw that Zhang Guofeng was very satisfied with this girl, so she asked Zhang Guofeng on the spot for a dowry of ten taels of silver, and asked Li Dingguo to write a wedding post according to her story, exchanged eight characters, and left happily with her daughter.

After the person left, Li Dingguo took Zhang Guofeng's wedding card and looked at it again and again, and said to Zhang Guofeng: "Isn't it too child's play, do you see what that girl looks like?" If it looks like Xu Wuxiang, it will be miserable. ”

Zhang Guofeng picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and said: "She looks good, and she is also a smart girl." ”

Li Dingguo said in surprise: "I didn't say a word, I didn't raise my head from beginning to end, how did you know that she was a smart woman who didn't look bad?" ”

Zhang Guofeng said with a smile: "Your brother's identity is here, and he is married to Ming Media, do you think that matchmaker dares to deceive our brother?"

She who is too bad looking, who has too bad character, dares to lead us to our brother?

Do you know that when I was eating just now, the girl brought me clear soup three times, and people smiled at me three times in the soup, with a goose egg face, white skin, big eyes, curved eyebrows, and a mouth of small white teeth, not the common big black teeth in Guanzhong!

If you don't see it, you know the etiquette, let me see, it's the girl who has confidence in her appearance, and it won't be wrong for such a girl to marry.

I'm going to get married next month, what do you think? ”

Li Dingguo was dumbfounded when he heard this, shook his head and said, "I have to let the secret spy department check it." ”

Zhang Guofeng nodded and said, "Then report it!" ”

Li Dingguo shook his head and left Zhang Guofeng's house, he felt that this guy had gone crazy, a person who obviously had the opportunity to be a marquis and worship the prime minister, but now he just wanted to marry the daughter of a private school gentleman's family, and he was extremely short-sighted.

Zhang Guofeng obviously didn't think so, looking at the sparse sparse saplings in the orchard, he suddenly frowned, he felt that there should be no jujube trees and two grapes in the garden, these small fruits are the children's favorite fruits.

While the sky was still bright, he took a shovel to the orchard that Li Dingguo had spent a lot of money to arrange, dug up five jujube trees and three grape vines in one go, and didn't care about the dark, so he lit a torch and planted these new fruit trees in his own garden.

At this time, it was already a starry sky, and Zhang Guofeng stood alone under the lantern, looking at the dark night sky and letting out bursts of oozing laughter.

Yun Zhao took out Zhang Guofeng's marriage proposal from the thick stack of marriage proposals, glanced at it and thought to Xu Wu: "Ask Zhang Guofeng again, he doesn't need to be so low-key, he can marry my sister-in-law." ”

Xu Wuxiang shook his head and said, "I've already asked, and people said that they don't want to marry a god and come back to offer." He also said that this woman surnamed Wang is very good, urging me to pass the trial early, he is ready for 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? Whether he deliberately approached Zhang Guofeng to win his favor, if so, he had to check it carefully.

There must be no carelessness in intelligence work. ”

Yun Zhao looked at this marriage proposal document over and over again, but he really didn't find anything wrong, so he warned Xu Wuxiang.

Xu Wu thought and said leisurely: "The girl's name is Wang Cui, she lives in Beichuan, Lantian County, her father, Wang Huidong is my Lantian Beichuan scribe, mother, Wang Liu's family, brother, Wang Yuantu, is the big guy of the No. 7 caravan of the first word in Lantian County to take Yunnan Road, and after two years of qualifications, he is the second shopkeeper of the caravan."

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

If the county leader thinks that such a family also has a problem, then ask the county leader to draw up the document himself, and I will order Wang Huidong to be arrested and his whole family beheaded for public display! ”

Yun Zhao scratched his chin and sighed: "I just asked you to be cautious, and I didn't let you create an unjust case." ”

Xu Wu thought and said, "So Zhang Guofeng's wedding post is considered excessive?" ”

Yun Zhao said helplessly: "If the cow doesn't drink water, I can't force my head, right?" ”

Xu Wu wanted to take Zhang Guofeng's marriage proposal, stamped the word "agree" heavily, and wrote a congratulatory sentence on it with a brush, and Yun Zhao kept pouting.

There are still seven or eight girls in the family waiting to get married, but looking at Lantian County, none of them are willing to marry.

However, those who are not famous, for example, the King of Qin, such as the political envoy of Shaanxi, the envoy of the inspection department, the prefect of Xi'an Prefecture, and even the imperial history of Nanjing, salt merchants, and big businessmen frequently show favor to Yun Niang, saying that their sister-in-law very much hopes to marry the daughter of the Yun family.

"Ugly people are so weird!"

Yun Zhao gritted his teeth at Xu Wuxiang.

Xu Wuxiang sniffled and said, "We are ugly, but what we think is beautiful, with my grandfather's talent, do you think we will not be able to get a beautiful wife?" ”

Yun Zhao said disdainfully: "I hope it is as you wish." ”

Xu Wuxiang smiled and said: "This prosperous world must appear as I wish, and this beauty will definitely appear on my bed as I wish, not even one!" Hahaha......"

I envy Xu Wu and want to go out with a smile, they are not penny people.

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

This made Lu Xiangsheng so disappointed......

Every time an official came to the edict, Lu Xiangsheng looked forward to his last moment, his mood was very stable, and even a little longing.

People will eventually become depressed in the disappointment again and again.

The same is true for Lu Xiangsheng, there will never be him in autumn, and there will always be some prisoners who die of cold, hunger, poverty and disease in winter, and such a good thing did not fall on him.

He would have wanted to die on a hunger strike.

As a result, he didn't know when he became the savior of the rest of the prisoners—because the rations of the prisoners in the prison were determined according to the amount of food he ate Lu Xiangsheng.

If he doesn't eat a bite, then the whole prison will not have food to eat, on the contrary, if he eats two large bowls, the rest of the prisoners will also have two large bowls of rice......

At first, Lu Xiangsheng didn't care, thinking that the brocade guards were just scaring him, but as a result, after he went on a hunger strike for three consecutive days, he saw with his own eyes that the jailers dragged out three starving bodies from this prison.

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

As a result, the jailers here can see Lu Xiangsheng munching with a sad and angry face every day!

Therefore, after the long winter, because of the abundant food, Lu Xiangsheng's body not only did not clear up, but gained a lot of weight, and his complexion was ruddy and full of energy!

After being imprisoned for so long, he even felt as if he had been forgotten by the world.

Han Lingshan, who lived opposite him, was working hard every day, and he had a sleepless posture, and Lu Xiangsheng was unwilling to pay attention to this person.

Until one day, Han Lingshan seemed to finish writing the last word, threw away the brush, and shouted in the prison like a big horse monkey, as if he was celebrating something.

Seeing Han Lingshan carefully put 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 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, I have traveled all over Guanzhong in the past five years, and I have come to Jingshi with the caravan, and the book records what I have seen, heard, thought, and thought in the past five years.

I would love to know from these words why my Ming Empire has fallen to such a point where everyone can bully.

I really want to know, why do I have endless disasters year after year, and the people are not happy?

I'd love to know, what is the ultimate reason for us to get into such a predicament? Is it an act of God, or **, or both?

I wonder what our path out of this sea of suffering is, and what we can do to restore the majesty of our empire. ”

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

Han Lingshan said with a smile: "I'm going to leave here tomorrow, continue my trip, and go to Jianzhou as a visiting scholar to see why the people of Jianzhou have become so powerful in just a few decades."

I want to compare the advantages and shortcomings of Lantian County's policy compared with the policy of the people of Jianzhou.

After comparison, let's see if there is a better strategy that can change the current decline of my Daming. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with some excitement: "This is a very necessary thing, you have to be careful along the way, Jiannu is cruel, and you may not be allowed to enter their land." ”

Han Lingshan said: "It doesn't matter, I will take the official document of Lantian County to Liaodong, go to meet Huang Taiji, meet Dolgon, and meet their main figures."

Lu Gong, Luo Yaping will bring wine today, let's have a drink together, just like you are seeing off the students. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said lonely: "You are very good, you can still do such an important thing, but I can't survive, I can't die, and I can't be miserable." ”

Han Lingshan saw that Lu Xiangsheng's gaze always fell on the basket he was holding the manuscript intentionally or unintentionally, so he generously handed the basket to Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Please Lu Gong for guidance." ”

Lu Xiangsheng grabbed the basket excitedly and said in a trembling voice: "Can I watch it?" ”

Han Lingshan said with a smile: "You should see it the most, and you are the most qualified to watch it." ”

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't be polite, and deliberately washed his hands, then carefully opened the basket, took out a stack of manuscripts, and read it carefully.

This manuscript opened up a world in front of Lu Xiangsheng's eyes that he had never thought of or touched.

In this manuscript, Han Lingshan writes from the beginning of Lantian County to the rise of agriculture, commerce, and industry in Lantian County.

This new world made Lu Xiangsheng's whole body tremble with excitement, and when he read that Yun Zhao burned the IOU and vowed to revitalize Lantian County, his hand slapped the railing and applauded loudly!

When he read that the people of Lantian County were all dedicated to building canals, building reservoirs, and carrying ice cubes into the fields to increase moisture, he couldn't help but burst into tears!

When he read that Yun Zhao led the thieves of the Yun clan to clear all the armed forces in Lantian County and eliminate the local tyrants and inferior gentry in various places, he gritted his teeth and squeaked, and he hated to participate in this vigorous operation in person.

When he read that the people of Lantian County opened a trade road and collected goods from all over the world in Lantian County, making Lantian County from a grass market into an important business town in the world, Lu Xiangsheng laughed loudly, and his mouth said, "Wonderful, strong words are endless."

When he read that Yun Zhao was determined to lead the hundred horsemen to the west exit, and that the hundred horsemen were invincible in the grassland, the heart in his chest was popping and jumping, as if he had to tear his chest and jump freely on the ground to be comfortable.

"I regard the Ming Dynasty as home, what ability does a hero have in the nest, I should carry a three-foot sword, a horse across the territory, snatch food from the enemy's mouth, make a fortune from the enemy, conquer the enemy, control the enemy, and whip the dragon, dominate the world, so as to live up to my man's ambition!"

Reading this, Lu Xiangsheng dropped the manuscript, grabbed the railing with both hands and shook it vigorously, and shouted hoarsely: "This is the ambition of a man!" ”

Luo Yaping cautiously glanced at Lu Xiangsheng, who looked like a mad demon, and whispered to Han Lingshan: "Why don't I remember what the county zun said?" I just remember him saying that our way to fortune is on the block, where people are stupid and easy to deceive......"

Han Lingshan took a sip of wine and said: "The county also said that art comes from life, and it must be higher than life.

If you don't embellish the words of the county honor, how do you think those soft words can make people deafening? ”

Luo Yaping nodded approvingly, touched a glass of wine with Han Lingshan, and continued: "If you leave tomorrow, what if Lu Xiangsheng still commits suicide?" ”

Han Lingshan said with a smile: "If this appearance can't urge him to live, then let him die, and fulfilling his wish is the most respectful way to respect him."

For some people, being alive is not necessarily happy, death is! ”

"Are you really going to Jianzhou?"

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

"Now that your ambition has been set, you can only expect that Jiannu will also abide by the rules of the two countries not fighting each other."

"No, my ambition must be set, if there is more than half a probability of death, I will change my ambition and change it to a safer ambition."

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

He watched Han Lingshan pack his things and prepare to leave.

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

Han Lingshan heard Lu Xiangsheng's muttering, so he smiled and said, "Since you want to go to Lantian County, let's go, and the manly husband will leave when he says to go?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a gloomy expression: "I am a prisoner of sin and can't leave." ”

Han Lingshan took a shabby notice from under the bed and handed it to Lu Xiangsheng and said, "You have been beheaded, and I have also been chopped off, and now, the two of us are two ghosts." ”

Lu Xiangsheng took the notice and opened it to look at it, then closed his eyes in pain and shouted: "Didn't they verify their bodies when they killed people? ”

Han Lingshan sneered: "Put the silver on your eyes, what else do you think you can see?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said angrily: "I am a prisoner and a national thief, how can I be so childish?" ”

Han Lingshan sneered: "As long as it is not Your Majesty who personally supervises the beheading, and does not personally verify the integrity of the guilty prisoner, it is easy for the Jinyi guards to replace people. ”

Lu Xiangsheng quieted down, looked at Han Lingshan and said, "In order to save me, how much silver did Lantian County use?" ”

Han Lingshan shook his head and said: "Ask your two housekeepers, all the money is from the surplus of your Lu family's frugality, Lao An people take their female dependents to weave every day, and men seek part-time jobs to make money everywhere in Lantian County, and the ninth brother you value the most will take off his robe, take off his crown, and put on a coarse cloth coat to work on the construction site after giving lectures to students every day."

The county zun once gave money to the Lao An people, and the Lao An people did not take a penny, and gave it back to the county zun, and said that Lu Xiangsheng was ashamed to be alive, but Lu Xiangsheng was alive, and it was her old woman's greatest wish in this life, she wanted to see her son before she died, and she wanted that after she died, her son would give her linen and filial piety.

As for Lu Xiangsheng's livelihood, it is a selfishness of her old pious woman, if the ancestors of the Lu family want to ask, they will come to ask her, this old pious woman! ”

Lu Xiangsheng heard Han Lingshan say this, and said expressionlessly: "Lu Fu, where is Lu Shou?" ”

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

Lu Xiangsheng sighed slightly, 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 splendid the new mountains and rivers are!" Lu Gong, let's go! ”

Luo Yaping smiled and removed the empty chain hanging from the railing and opened the cell door.

Lu Xiangsheng sighed and said: "I have been in prison for nearly seven months, and only now do I know that Lu is painting the ground as a prison." ”

Han Lingshan was familiar with the way and led the way in front, Lu Xiangsheng walked behind Han Lingshan, Luo Yaping walked last, golden beans kept falling out of his sleeves, and those jailers kept swallowing saliva in their throats, but they stood straight, ignoring the three people who walked in front of them.

The three of them walked for a full pillar of incense, and then they walked out of the edict of Beizhen Fusi.

Walking out of the edict prison, Lu Xiangsheng found that it was already dark, and there was no one outside the edict prison, Luo Yaping pointed to a fire on the edge of the woods in the distance and said: "Lu Fu, Lu Shou should be there." ”

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

After speaking, he walked straight to the grass house over there.

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

Han Lingshan stretched his waist and approached Luo Yaping and said: "What kind of bath is taking a cold bath, Lao Tzu has made a great contribution to Lantian County again, and helped you Luo Yaping again, shouldn't you find the best hook bar for Lao Tzu, find the most beautiful girl here, prepare fragrant soup for me, use silk handkerchiefs to help me wash my body inch by inch, trim my nails, and shave off my beard?" ”

Zhou Guoping sneered: "Dream! ”

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

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

Han Lingshan almost put a dirty face on Zhou Guoping's face, and said gloomily: "There is nothing wrong with a good woman, you can send her to your mansion in Lantian, it is taboo to take her with you!"

You know what I mean, right? ”

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

"Did the county honorable agree?"

Zhou Guoping said: "There is no objection. ”

"Stupid, if you don't agree, you're not allowed! Do you want me to teach you this? As a secret spy, if you have a family member, you won't send it to Lantian County, why do you stay by your side? ”

Han Lingshan's usual ruffian spirit disappeared at this moment, and a pair of eyes stared at Zhou Guoping like a falcon, as if it was not him who was gagping with Zhou Guoping not long ago.

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 you people?"

If it weren't for the people of Jiangnan Province who pinched Cao Huachun's Dai Xiao's nephew, your Zhou Guoping's head would have moved a long time ago, and Lu Xiangsheng would have been beheaded all over the house.

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 to be individual, we pay attention to the interests of the whole, and we are also a complete collective, which you have to remember.

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

Zhou Guoping, I think, you will soon receive an order to leave Beijing! “

Zhou Guoping's forehead was full of sweat.

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

Lu Xiangsheng didn't bathe for a long time, and after a pillar of incense, he appeared beside Han Lingshan with two housekeepers with burdens and tears in the corners of his eyes.

Han Lingshan smiled and said to Zhou Guoping: "You owe me a favor, you must treat me with the best bathing method." ”

Zhou Guoping said coldly: "Dream! ”

Lu Xiangsheng chuckled and said: "Lu said goodbye, I wish Han Gongzi can arrive in Jianzhou safely, and a certain family will go." ”

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng left with the old servant, Han Lingshan said to Zhou Guoping: "I hope he doesn't want to make any more extraneous branches, so that he can rush to Lantian County."

People like him have no way to live in Daming. ”

Zhou Guoping said: "You seem to be bright, but in fact you are like a night owl, you should not live in this world." ”

Han Lingshan said with a smile: "I am a person who stands in the dark and looks up to the light, and you can't escape my eyes if you stand in the light and can't see the subtle changes that you can't see."

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