It's dog days.

Dog days are the hottest, humid and muggy days of the year.

The so-called "Futianer" refers to the hottest time of the year.

It can be understood in this way: "volt" means that the weather is too hot, and it is not suitable to move.

Dog days are the hottest 30 to 40 days of the year in the Central Plains, around July to mid-to-late August.

At this time, if there is a rain, it is the best, especially the night rain, at this time, you can rest peacefully in the scorching heat.

Qinling, which is the dragon vein of the Chinese nation; Under the shadow of the Qinling Mountains, the Qin Dynasty not only completed the unification of the Spring and Autumn Period, but also laid the foundation of the Chinese nation's "agriculture-oriented" for many years, creating the first peak of this agricultural civilization.

Then in the majestic Qinling Mountains, the Han Dynasty laid the vast territory of the Chinese nation, in addition, along the Qinling Ancient Road, papermaking and other cultural relics of Chinese civilization.

However, at this time, the western part of this mountain range was mostly occupied by the Qiang people, and the years of war in the world made the Han people sharply reduce and withdraw from the land they occupied in the past, and these lands that were ceded were then occupied by the Qiang people from the west, and multiplied here and gradually grew.

At this time, in a village in the Qinling Mountains, in the fluttering light rain, the rain was sprinkled little by little, and the rain was dense.

There are no permanent lights in the village, and for small households, oil lamps are also a valuable expense, and they are closed early, even a very few large households, and only faintly visible dim lights.

At this time, it was the dinner season of the big family, in a house, the copper oil lamp emitted a soft light, and on a table, there were four people, Yan Shi was the chief, and Mrs. Yan, and Zhang Han, and a young child, but Yan Shi's son.

The dishes on the table are not exquisite, five dishes and one soup, which seems to be coarse tea and light rice, but for the commoners of this era, this is already extremely luxurious.

Not to mention being able to eat food, it is a luxury for civilians to have a full meal.

Because Yan Shi has been teaching for many years, the Yan family is very particular about etiquette, and even young children are sitting upright at this time, chewing and swallowing slowly, trying not to make a sound, and listening quietly.

"Master, I have thought about it carefully, is your movement a little bigger, if it is according to your teaching, this time the light will return to the situation at the most three or five years, and the Han Dynasty has lasted for hundreds of years, and it is not as good as the Great Zhou of the year, and the Great Zhou is only a few years in the end; Under the great fortune of the Han Kingdom, it should not exceed ten years at most! ”

Zhang Han said at this time, he always felt that something was wrong, but the master's move was a little reckless, but Zhang Han had some premonitions, which were very bad!

At this time, listening to the sound of rain outside the house, Yan Shi put down his chopsticks and looked at his son and his disciples with a smile, as far as a cultivator is concerned, it is not difficult to live past a hundred years old, so he still has a lot of time, if there is a breakthrough, it will not be difficult to go for a few more decades; However, before leaving the world, you have to cultivate a suitable heir, just a few decades of observation, and this disciple can, although the others are talented, but their luck is either insufficient, or there are family ties.

He nodded at this time and said, "I also know that you have this confusion, you are still young after all, although you have wisdom and have not yet been rounded. ”

His toddler was very well-behaved, he didn't talk or move at this time, stared at his father with big eyes, listened quietly, Yan Shi lovingly touched the top of his son's head, and when he finished eating, he put him on his lap and let him sit more comfortably.

Then he said to Zhang Han: "At the beginning, the Han lord was just a regent, and when he came to me, I looked at it, it was just ordinary, and it seemed ordinary, but now you look at the Han lord, when he first took charge of the army, he was in good order, and all parties arranged reasonably, so that the enemy had no escape, and the military ability can be seen!"

Looking at the governance of the Han lord again, it seems that although the action is big, just like the new country back then, but it is only in one place and one county, which is not bad, the combination of the two, its ability is really terrifying! ”

Zhang Han pondered intently, but he was not a reckless person, and said: "Master, this is nothing, that is, ordinary people can do things that they can't usually do when they meet great luck, and the clouds are straight up, not to mention the world is revolutionary, the mandate of heaven has changed, there will be a large number of talents to sweep the world, for the king to drive, the new country, but also the world's scenery, the world people look forward to it, there is a king who can't be born, such as the common people."

And in the spring and autumn rounds of wars that year, before Allah came out, all the countries of the world, how many strange people and wizards?

Even now, Cao Wei, Sima Zhao, Zhong Hui, Jia Chong, Sun Wu, Sun Hao, Lu Kang, and Jiang Wei, Huo Yi and others of the Han Kingdom, which one is not unique, which one is not or amazingly beautiful, or deep and heavy, or resolute and decisive?

Which one is not a big thing, this is not a big thing, this is not outstanding! Zhang Han expressed his opinion.

"What Han'er said is very much, if this is the only point, there are many such people in the world, if it is the guard of a county, or the history of a state, it is only a moment of luck; But the lord of Han is the king of the country, the king of a country, so what he has done during this time makes me shocked! ”

"Open acres of land, determine the nationality of the people, sacrifice to the river god, kill foreign races, and settle the Quartet, these things are all deep-rooted and fundamental things, although this thing is small, but if you think about the ancient monarchs, how many people can do this?

It's the so-called seeing the subtleties! ”

Seeing that Zhang Han's face changed slightly, Yan Shi reminded again: "Luck comes and goes, it is all determined by heaven and earth, just like if I fold a flower and insert it in a vase, although this flower can be brilliant and bloom for several days, but it will eventually be a tree without roots and water without a source." ”

"I am not surprised that the Han lord opens the fields, I am not surprised to pacify the mountain tribes, and I am not surprised even when I become the lord of the country, even if I marry with the big clan, I am not surprised, these things are only done in one piece, they are all trees without roots, water without a source, once transported, they are only for people's wedding clothes, and the flowers are brilliant, and the petals and leaves are withered when they are transported.

But this is the lord of Han, as the lord of a country, but only focus on one county, all these together, what they do, but it makes me frightened, even tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night, if you put a handful of willow branches in the ground, what do you say is the consequence? ”

"Shhh Will there definitely be roots that will grow? Although Yan Shi's words were soft, they hit Zhang Han's ears like a thunderbolt, and suddenly made him look at the problem from a new height.

"Yes, if it is one, it may have no roots, and this will naturally wither, and there is nothing to fear, but if it is several, or Jiatian, then it will definitely grow roots, and it will be hidden in luck, even if it is not obvious for a while, but next year, what about it? This is different from what the true monarch has instructed, when the time comes, the rootless will be the hidden dragon, then it will be difficult to win the foundation! ”

"Hey, why don't you talk to the master?"

Yan Shi shook his head and sighed and said: "I'm not good at the art of looking at qi, how can this art of looking at qi be so simple, only the realm of real people can really insight, I am just teaching and cultivating here for more than ten years, and the merits of education, this is a little bit of experience, according to the truth in the previous book, I can see some clues, but it is difficult to convince the teacher."

To say a big disrespectful word, the master takes metaphysics as the sect, but he refuses to listen to this worldly way, and it is useless to say it, just keep it in your heart. ”

Zhang Han listened to Yan Shi's words, and the more he wanted to change in his heart, the more reasonable it became, originally he secretly always felt that Yan Shi was too persistent, and he was a little puzzled, but now that he thinks about it, he really has the true meaning.

At this moment, the beautiful woman Yan said with a smile: "Don't say much about the food, the dishes are cold, everyone eat quickly!" ”

The two laughed, and Yan Shi raised his chopsticks again.

At this moment, in the middle of the village, there was silence on the road, and at this time, one person shrunk his neck and continued to move forward.

This is a broken settlement in the village, there are also lazy people among the Qiang people, they have been doing some stealing chickens and dogs to make a living, last time from this mountain, get some rusty iron tools, mixed some money, this food and drink for a few days, and now it is eaten up again.

Now I heard that a noble family has moved to the village, but there are few people in this noble family, only a few temporarily hired servants, all of whom are local, and they all go back to their own homes at night, and this nobleman's family is quite large, so he secretly got up tonight, thinking that if he didn't talk about getting some money, he could always get some food.

The village does not have a tall wall, after all, it is in the deep mountains, there will be no large number of thieves to intrude, and a simple fence can block some wild beasts.

The man, who lived in a cave outside the village, looked at the fence and was ready to start climbing.

In fact, he had already prepared a place, usually a lot of time will steal in, get something to eat, at this time found the old place, just thought about going in, suddenly, only to hear the cold light behind him, one person lowered his voice, said: "General, there are people here!" ”

This person didn't want to think about it, he turned around and was about to flee, this stealing property, in this mountain is not reported to the official, as long as no one speaks, he will be beaten to death, half dead, and even some are killed and fine, this kind of person who no one speaks, if he dies, he will die in vain.

However, this person, the ancestors are also of the same clan, and he will not die, but he has also suffered a few times, and if he still wants to be beaten, he has to flee, and as soon as he lifts his feet, his hands and feet are sluggish, and his whole body trembles, and he does not dare to move.

I saw a group of people standing in front of him, wearing helmets, wearing leather armor, pressing the murder weapon in their hands, their eyes were blazing, and they were glancing at themselves fiercely.

Following their report, a young man stepped forward, he was not wearing the clothes of a high-ranking official, but he was also dressed in iron armor, and it was Rochamp who had come by order.

Luo Shang was in a very bad mood at this time, and for him, who was familiar with politics, of course he knew the intention of Fa Sui.

Hanzhong County suppressed thieves, now in Hanzhong County, there are not many thieves of the Wei people, he originally exterminated two places, and then recruited some people, and trained soldiers in the mountains, according to his plan, this is a matter of three or five years, or even longer.

It's just that what Yang Yi's goal is, he also knows that it is the Qiang people in the Qinling Mountains, these days, he has been searching for news, but it has taken a lot of money.

The relationship between Yan Shi and the Qiang people can't be hidden, and the Qiang people's transgression is naturally not a strange thing, in this troubled world, this is really a common thing.

Moreover, the Qiang people have always been respectful, and they do not hold military power, and not long ago, they have made it clear that they are willing to support the Han State and pay a little tax, so although many people are a little confused, they have not yet thought that the Qiang people have bad intentions.

It's just that at this critical moment, it is better to kill the wrong person than let it go, and this Yan style hit the muzzle of the gun, and he didn't even try it, and he directly destroyed the whole door, which meant not only knocking on the Qiang people, but also knocking on some people in several border counties!

was sent to do this dirty work of destroying the door, Luo Shang was also the first time, of course he was in a very unhappy mood, at this time, his usual calm demeanor had long been gone, staring at this little thief, his tone made people feel cold: "Who are you, three watches in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?" ”

This little thief lived by being abducted and deceived by the pit, and he was good at observing words and feelings, and when he heard this, he knew that as long as his answer was the slightest mistake, he would immediately have a great disaster.

Quickly knelt down, kowtowed and said: "The villain is just a poor man in the village, he got up in the middle of the night, just to do something to touch the chicken, go back and get some food, general, the villain doesn't dare to lie!" ”

As he spoke, he kowtowed repeatedly, and Luo Shang looked at it at this time, only to see this person's thief eyebrows, and he believed most of it in his heart.

This thief's eyebrows and rat eyes are not the so-called natural character, the judicial officer in the army, and the court lieutenant in the court, no matter how he looks, after doing this for a long time, his whole body has a kind of murderous aura, which is the power of the law that is naturally carried by the law all year round.

Similarly, this kind of thief, no matter how he looks, usually thinks about stealing chickens and touching dogs, and he can't see people, and in the long run, it will naturally make people feel that they are "thieves and rats".

As for those who have been in the upper position for a long time, it is even more obvious, this is what the ancestors said, "live and move qi, nourish and move the body".

Originally, Luo Shang didn't care about this kind of person, this is not his jurisdiction, let it go, just let it go, at this time, he was in a bad mood, and he was secretly acting, and he was unhappy in his heart, so he waved his hand.

A soldier in the back, seeing this, did not hesitate, the sword flashed, the thief's face was still flattering and humble, only to see the blood splashed, the head flew out, rolling on the ground.

At this time, seeing that the lights in this village were only faintly few, and there was no sound, Luo Shang ordered at this time: "Come forward and surround the Yan family!" ”

"Yes!" The surrounding soldiers responded, and at this time, Meng Liang was also obediently leading the way, with him inside, naturally the whole journey was smooth.

At this time, the Yan family had already finished eating, Yan Shi and Zhang Han went to the study, Zhang Han was going to read the poems and texts that had been passed down by the Han lord from beginning to end these days, and discussed countermeasures with the master.

At this moment, Yan Shimeng's whole body shook, he opened the window suddenly, stood in front of the window, his body was straight, and at this time, there seemed to be a breath of qi around his body, which suddenly gushed out.

In the distance, there was nothing out of the ordinary, only the sound of some pouring rain.

"What's wrong, Master?" Zhang Han raised his head and saw that Yan Shi's body was trembling slightly, as if he was suppressing something, and Zhang Han sensed a hint of fear.

"Quick, go down, don't light the lights, and don't turn off the lights!" Yan Shi pulled Zhang Han away, seeing that Zhang Han was going to take the lamp, he hurriedly said, at this time he swiped his hand, but a touch of light leaked out of his fingertips.

"Husband?" At this time, Yan was about to go to sleep with the child in his arms.
