Chapter 36: Unexpectedly, Wu Yue is in the same boat (middle)

[The second update, asking for red tickets and collections]

The creaking sound of pushing the door sounded softly, "Sanguan, it's time to get up." Li Xiaoliu's voice then came into his ears.

Han Gang woke up from his sleep, and the red light of the rising sun on the east-facing window paper suddenly came into his eyes. Flocks of sparrows chirped in the stables downstairs.

"When?" He asked, a little sleepy.

"It's been five watches."

"It's all about time!"

Startled, Han Gang was completely awake, lifted the quilt and jumped off the bed. After a night's sleep, the alcohol in my head has disappeared, and I only feel refreshed. Moved his muscles and bones casually, and swung two punches into the air, whirring sound. After only a few months of recuperation, I can't feel the legacy of nearly half a year of bedridden life.

After all, I'm still young! Han Gang thought happily, fortunately he had a good baby, and the physical recovery of a nineteen-year-old was different after all.

In the simple but fairly clean wing room, the floor bunks on the ground have been put away, because it is the second floor, even if Li Xiaoliu sleeps on the floor all night, he doesn't have to worry about the ground qi invading his body. And Liu Zhongwu and his luggage outside are also nowhere to be seen.

"What about Liu Zhongwu?" Han Gang pointed to the outside and asked Li Xiaoliu.

"Liu Guanren set off just after the fourth watch."

“…… Run so fast! Is there a tiger chasing him? ”

Han Gang only felt funny, panicked like a lost dog, anxious like a fish that slipped through the net, and Liu Zhongwu's reaction made him feel very funny. Running so fast, it's like being chased by a tiger behind you. In winter, the sun rises late, and he ran away as soon as he arrived at the fourth watch, and he doesn't know how long he will have to walk in the dark field, and his luck may almost break his neck.

"Sanguan is like a big insect in the eyes of Liu Guanren." Li Xiaoliu also laughed with him. Liu Zhongwu was poured a stomach full of wine by Han Gang last night, and he fled in embarrassment this morning, and he found it interesting to watch.

Han Gang didn't expect that he would put so much pressure on Liu Zhongwu. It seems that Xiang Bao's reputation is also well known in Liu Zhongwu's heart. Since Xiang Bao joined the army, it has been smooth sailing, and it only took more than 20 years to rise to the top of the army, and the speed of promotion is enough to make a veteran like Zhang Shouyue, who has been hesitating in the frontier for many years, want to cry without tears.

He has never suffered any setbacks in his life, so Xiang Bao has a very high heart and a strong desire for power, and he can't tolerate the slightest disagreement from the people below. And Wang Shao, who shared his authority, and Han Gang, who lost his face, are mortal enemies in his eyes. Liu Zhongwu must know this well, so he will run as fast as a rabbit.

It's just that now Liu Zhongwu and himself are walking on the same road, and they are both riding horses, and the speed of a journey cannot be too much different, even if they want to avoid him Han Gang, they can't dodge.

Although Han Gang's current status is far less than that of the previous one, it is not difficult to find trouble and disgust Xiang Bao. Liu Zhongwu was a native of Qinzhou, and he was quite famous in the army, Wang Sunchen and Zhao Long had heard of him, and it would be a good thing to dig him up from Xiang Bao.

In fact, Han Gang himself didn't realize that since he left Qinzhou, his mood was much more relaxed than in the past few months, otherwise he wouldn't have any prank thoughts. Since he was reborn, he has been oppressed by the heavy reality, and every time he tries to survive, although he uses strong means to cut all obstacles with a sword, his mind is always heavy. It wasn't until I left the environment in Qinzhou this time that my heart suddenly brightened up, and I was in the mood to joke.

"Please wash up and go on the road early, there are still more than 100 miles to catch up today...... Li Xiaoliu came in, brought a basin of hot water and put it on the table early, and even the hand towel for washing his face, the green salt for rinsing his mouth, and the toothbrush were all prepared for Han Gang.

Han Gang answered, and changed clothes and washed under Li Xiaoliu's service. Usually people use the barked willow branches to brush their teeth, but the rich and noble people buy toothbrushes to use, horsehair is worn on the wooden handle, one is only sixty wen, and brushing their teeth with green salt feels better than willow branches. I heard that there is also a tooth powder made with medicinal herbs such as Poria cocos in Beijing, which has a stronger brushing effect.

Han Gang came to wash, Li Xiaoliu rolled up his sleeves for him, handed him clothes, handed him a hand towel, he was very capable at a young age, and he served properly and thoroughly. While brushing his teeth, Han Gang watched Li Xiaoliu neatly take care of his clothes with his hands and feet, and looked at the back of the fourteen-year-old boy with a slightly cold look.

The Li family's family background was far better than the Han family in the old days, even if Li Leper had many children and grandchildren, Li Xiaoliu, the son of the concubine, was inconspicuous and not loved by him, but he was also a small housekeeper, but when he turned around to serve Han Gang, he could look at it at a glance and not make any mistakes at all. But there is no such thing as a naturally inferior servant!

In the eyes of outsiders, Han Gang's sparing of Li Lezi, the culprit, is a rare magnanimity in the world, and Li Lezi is also very grateful, looking like he wants to be a man again. But Han Gang has a deep understanding of the world, and his eyesight is like a knife, how can he see that the hatred hidden in Li Lezi's heart is as deep as the sea. People are like this, they often don't see their own mistakes, and always blame others. Li Xiaoliu can be a low-voiced little wing, if he doesn't have a plan, how can he work so hard?

The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, the servant who runs in the house of a high-ranking official and eunuch, can actually be recommended as an official. Both the prime minister and the ruling party have the right to recommend domestic servants as officials. And even if he is not an official, the servants of the official's family can have many places where they are pretending to be powerful. Han Gang has a bright future, even though Li Lezi hates Han Gang for ruining his family's decades of accumulation, as long as he wants to revive the family business, he can only put the treasure on Han Gang.

However, Han Gang doesn't account so much, Li Lezi hates himself for ruining his family business, if it is unreasonable to be grateful to himself, let him go, he can't do anything anyway. And Li Xiaoliu is a smart and hard-working boy, and it can be seen that he is not with his father, but he can be cultivated.

After washing and taking care of it, Han Gan took Li Xiaoliu downstairs. Li Xiaoliu had already eaten in the kitchen early, and the breakfast served to Han Gang was the famous mutton steamed bun in the northwest - although it is not called this name now, but it is called yokan, but in essence, it is the same thing before and after a thousand years, and the types of seasonings added are a little less.

The big sea bowl in front of Han Gang can be used as a basin, and eating all the yokan full of it is enough to strangle people to death. The reason for this is that ordinary people nowadays have two meals a day, and after eating this meal, it will be worth a day's hunger. And Han Gang is used to eating three meals a day, even if he is on the road, he has to eat something to cushion his stomach at noon. Because of this, Han Gang, who barely ate most of the bowl of yokan in the sea, put down his chopsticks.

Yicheng walked up cautiously and attentively at this time. The book he held in his hand was no different from the hotel registration of the afterlife. Han Gang relied on the post coupons issued by Qin Feng's Jinglu Division, and ate and drank at the Qiliping Post Station all night, and these food items needed to be confirmed by his signature and drawing, as a certificate for the year-end audit of the post station.

In fact, from the institutional point of view, the bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty was already very complete, and the rule of civil officials represented a hell of official documents, and any affairs involving the official government had to leave written evidence.

Han Gang took the pen and signed the book, and casually turned two pages forward, except for Liu Zhongwu, he didn't see any acquaintances. After all, the New Year has not yet ended, and after the Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month on the second day, there will be an endless stream of Qinzhou officials who have embarked on this road.

Han Gang continued on the road after eating, and the horses he rode yesterday had been replaced with two new ones, both of which were good horses that had cultivated their foot strength in the post house for three or five days, which could support Han Gang's master and servant to continue running.

After a day, the mount was drenched in sweat, and its earthy fur was soaked with sweat and turned a deep yellow. Looking up the road in front of him, Chen Cangshan was already in sight. More than 1,000 years ago, Liu Bang sent troops from Hanzhong, burned the plank road openly, secretly crossed Chencang, and restarted to fight for the world, which is located at the foot of Chencang Mountain. And the destination of Hangang's second journey, Baoji [now Baoji City], is also located here.

This place is already Fengxiang.

Han Gang had to pass by Fengxiang when he entered Beijing, and his uncle Li Jian served as the head of the Fengxiang Mansion Army. It's just that Tianxing County, the governor of Fengxiang Mansion [now Fengxiang], is located in the upper reaches of Yongshui, a tributary of Weishui, a hundred miles away from Weishui, and his uncle's station in the northern boundary of Fengxiang Mansion is even farther away. Although Han Gang was passing through Fengxiang, there was no need to go around to say hello.

I left late in the morning, and when Han Gang arrived in Baoji, it was already late. The sun sets early behind the mountains of the West. Looking up, Venus is twinkling in the sky. He gave the mount another whip, and after a few more moments, as soon as the city gate was closed, the master and servant were to find a place to live outside the city.

The horses galloped, looking at the west gate of Baoji from a distance, a team entering the city was lined up in front of the door, Han Gang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally caught up. When they got closer, they saw a tall man in the procession leading a red horse, waiting in line to enter the city.

Han Gang laughed on the horse, that wasn't Liu Zhongwu, who could it be?!

"Brother Ziwen, what a coincidence!" Han Gang shouted from afar, he directly said Liu Zhongwu's words, and the title of Liu Zhongwu became more and more affectionate......

With a little mischievous mentality, Han Gang looked at Liu Zhongwu who turned around and hung up his face. Han Gang ignored how ugly his face was, stepped forward to pull him, didn't go to the queue, and went directly into Baoji County with the official document in his hand.

After staying in a post house in the city, Han Gang decided that Liu Zhongwu would go to the outer hall to drink. He has a post ticket with him, and according to the rules, there is a daily diet standard of 300 wen at the post stations along the way, and yesterday and today he dragged Liu Zhongwu to drink, counting the number, and he was also stuck on the standard.

Attentively poured Liu Zhongwu a glass of Fengxiang Mansion's famous wine Luquan, the clear wine syrup shook in the cup, Han Gang asked: "Brother Ziwen is going to the capital together, why did he leave first this morning, not with Han?" ”

"The villain saw that the officials were sleeping well, so they didn't dare to disturb."

Han Gang's face suddenly turned cold, his eyes narrowed slightly and stared at Liu Zhongwu, staring at him so that his eyes swayed left and right, and he didn't dare to confront himself, so he said softly: "A little thing in the old days, Han has long forgotten. And Xiang Xuan is generous, and he doesn't care about anything. Could it be that Brother Ziwen still has to take it to heart? ”

Han Gang spoke straightforwardly, but Liu Zhongwu didn't know how to reply.

After a few contacts, Liu Zhongwu's character Han Gang also had a little bottom in his heart. His calm and steady temperament made him favored by Xiang Bao, and he didn't have to worry about him taking the enemy lightly when he led the troops to the battle. But with such a character, when encountering an opponent who does not play cards according to reason, he will be restrained.

Liu Zhongwu had nothing to say, so he could only bow his head and drink. Han Gang suddenly laughed twice, breaking the awkward silence, "It's just a joke." Han knew that Brother Liu was in a hurry to go to Beijing to be an official, so he left in a hurry. Don't mention it, come, drink, drink! ”
