The clouds are prushing the sky, and the flag horns are shaking the river wind,

Zeng Shiquan pressed the railing with his hand and looked at it beautifully, only to feel that the river was blue and yellow, and kept pouring it into his eyes, a burst of sourness made people want to cry, and a burst of shaking made people want to vomit.

“.” He closed his eyes and pinched his eyebrows, and asked,

An officer replied: "It's been more than three minutes. Zeng Shiquan pursed his lips, but he was speechless,

The water skin was sparkling, constantly turning and peeling, and Xuan released bursts of fishy gas, as if a dragon was suffering from a thousand knives [Xianmo: Now the river is blocked everywhere, the dragon's body is broken, and it is not even more hurtful to think about it], and it is easy to survive for more than half an hour, Li Yichen looked at the sun in Zhongtian, and said in a low voice: "Master, Ji Yeping They may not be able to see through the deployment of the Dugong, last night's wounded soldiers and generals, most of them are still resting upstream, you have not slept all night, it is better to go down to the cabin to rest first." At this moment, someone shouted, "It's coming." ”

Zeng Shiquan was in good spirits, and he stood up and looked forward, and there was a flag sail faintly appearing in the head of the river in the mirror tube, changing its shape in the steaming water vapor, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart: "Ready,." Holding the mirror and making a gesture while observing, the gun carriages of the ships on the river and the shore moved when they heard the news, and immediately aimed all their firepower at the flotilla that was coming downstream, but Zeng Shiquan's hand was halfway through, suddenly stopped, was silent for a moment, raised his face suddenly, and shouted: "Don't open fire, it's your own people." ”

After a short time, the fleet that came down upstream was intercepted by Jiang Muxian and others, and several Dongchang officials changed boats to come over to see, and quickly gave a salute to the leader: "Back to the master, his subordinates were ordered to take people out to chase after him, but when they went to the river to investigate, there was no trace of Himenopaira and his gang. ”

Zeng Shiquan asked urgently: "I haven't seen anyone in this way." The leader said, "No." Li Yichen said worriedly: "Master, Ji Yeping is not stupid, he may have expected that we are here, and he feels that it is hopeless to lead the remnants of the army to break through, will he avoid Sichuan against the current, or go around the dry road to Gutian." ”

Zeng Shiquan's eyes were fixed, and he wanted to quickly glance at the map, but suddenly his gaze stopped at one point, his face changed, and he shouted: "Call Fang Zhennuo." ”

After a while, Fang Zhennuo came out of the cabin, glanced at the sky [Xianmo: the two words are blurry, you can do it to see the weather, you can also do it to see the time, the dual-use of the thief pen is the author's normal, try to think about where the focus of Xiaofang's observation is,], walked up to the ship's building, and went to the railing to give a salute: "I don't know what the master commands." Zeng Shiquan said gloomily: "Let me ask you, if you want to go to Lushan from the tune, is there any other waterway." Fang Zhennuo sank for a moment and said: "Master, before Pillow Nuo went out of the division, he was in Yunnan, and since he entered the Juhao Pavilion, due to the adjustment of strategy, most of the time he has been resting in Lushan, and he is not very familiar with the geography of the Dongting area, and there are many waterways around the Yangtze River. Zeng Shiquan said: "I just want to ask you." ”

"Yes. Fang Zhennuo hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I don't know if I can borrow it on the map." ”

Zeng Shiquan's eyes did not leave his face, flipped the map over and sent it forward, Fang Zhennuo forgave a sin, approached and looked up and down, looked at it, suddenly flashed a trace of surprise, and quickly converged, this change was immediately captured by Zeng Shiquan: "What." Fang Zhennuo seemed to be afraid of something [Xianmo: I'm not afraid of twisting my arms, what am I afraid of at this time,], and said stiffly: "Master, look." He stretched out his hand and pointed to a point below the entrance of the tuning string and on the north bank of the Yangtze River: "Shun Jianli on the side of this river [Xian Mo: where is Jianli, remember that the approvers in the thirty-nine parts should be able to know, shoot who is more knowable, not much to say, if the Chinese want to live, always remember to be the "silent majority", from here, it is to point out the way out of China, to the north and then to the east to the shore, take a short land route, it seems that you can take the Honghu Lake to the east, so that not only bypass us here, but also copy a large piece of shortcut road through Jiangxia, Hankou, so calculated, the journey to Lushan is halfway through, although it seems impossible to go around the distance twice in a row [Xianmo: It is impossible to climb the snowy mountains and cross the grassland according to common sense, and the impossible thing is called military, the so-called soldiers are treacherous,], but if they are seeing through our thoughts, it is difficult to say, [Xianmo: Combine the whole picture, and summarize the ins and outs of the above, and there is really no fear, where does the cowardly come from, and the above is seen at a glance when he goes out of the hatch,]"

Zeng Shiquan still looked at him, and said in a slightly softened tone: "It's been a long time since then, according to you, if Himeno Ping follows this path, can we still catch up." ”

Fang Zhennuo said: "Judging from the wind speed from early to now, I'm afraid it will be ......" His face flashed a little embarrassed, and immediately turned into a relieved look: "But if you go ashore, you will have to abandon the boat, if there is no one on the Honghu side to answer, they can only grab some fishing boats, and the speed should not be much faster." ”

Zeng Shiquan stared at him silently for a long time, but did not arrange the pursuit, and asked: "You were so shocked that you twitched before, what are you afraid of?" ”

Seeing that Fang Zhennuo was a little unnatural, he didn't say anything, and he said as if everything was clear: "Hmph, if you don't say it, I also understand, you are not familiar with the geography here, some people are familiar with it, he is looking at me Haha, hoping that I have a leak, I can step on my head and climb up, you have no foundation yourself, and rely on him, so I guessed his thoughts when I saw this route, but I didn't dare to say it, for fear of offending him, yes or no." Fang Zhennuo lowered his head, as if he was worried in his heart, full of struggle [Xianmo: Miao Xiaofang, singing is also a big horn,], Zeng Shiquan said coldly: "Are you afraid of offending him, aren't you afraid of offending me." Fang Zhennuo said: "Back to the master, this time the pillow promise came to vote, and his heart was only for Guo Dugong and the four masters, as for others, I didn't think about it at all." ”

Zeng Shiquan snorted coldly: "Your ability to steer the rudder when you see the wind is not bad." ”

His hum was quite severe, but Fang Zhennuo looked as usual, without the slightest hint of panic, and said: "Back to the master, Pillow Nuo thinks that since he is under the command of the governor, he must think about everything for the sake of the governor and the factory, and the personal honor and disgrace are small, and the major events in the factory are mistaken, but it is the most important. , chasing Ji with the tail, Ji is the governor, the tail is the four major stalls, chasing the tail, then the four stalls of the governor become one, others sound like a group of people, Xiao Fang thinks of two groups of people, there is a big difference,], if this is also regarded as seeing the wind and rudder, the pillow Nuo thought of the front of the governor, and asked his old man to evaluate for me. ”

Zeng Shiquan said: "If you want to see the governor so much, the governor may not want to see you." ”

Fang Zhennuo said: "I have heard that the Duke has always been thirsty for talent, and the master is the heart of his old man, so he naturally wants to share his worries for the Duke all the time. ”

Zeng Shiquan said: "Oh, it looks like you have to force me to serve this plate of dishes." ”

"Don't dare. Fang Zhennuo said: "If the factory can prosper and gather heroes, then it will be easy to supervise the prince, save the effort, the hundred officials will not be picky, the emperor is satisfied, everyone has a face, and when it comes to it, who can not read the benefits of the master." ”

Zeng Shiquan smiled "ho-ho": "It's hard to say whether it's a talent or not, but your mouth is still a little interesting." ”

Fang Zhennuo said: "It is a talent who may not have eloquence, eloquence must be a talent, Pillow Nuo feels that he is quite similar to you in some aspects, but he has not been able to have both form and spirit, and he will follow you to learn well in the future." ”

Zeng Shiquan said "um" in his nostrils: "You are very good at talking, but in terms of being a person, the heat is a little worse." ”

Fang Zhennuo made his intentions clear, and said: "The choice itself means giving up, the floating clouds are ethereal, and the weight is like a mountain, in this era of paying attention to reality, Pillow Nuo just made a decision that anyone can make." ”

Zeng Shiquan's lower eyelids went up, and he seemed to be very satisfied with this answer, Li Yichen was playing the drum on the soles of his side feet, and he had been cramped and uneasy for a long time, and then he approached and said: "Master, if Ji Yeping really escapes and disrupts the deployment of the governor, this disaster is not small, we should hurry up and pursue it." ”

"Chase, chase, chase. Zeng Shiquan suddenly raised his voice: "Chasing your mother's cunt, walking behind other people's butts in everything, what would you have done earlier, if you hadn't been to beat Junshan, you would be so passive now." With a wave of his hand, he slammed the map in his face, "Take a good look, people copy such a big shortcut, can they catch up, and still think about waiting for work, but it's a fucking waiter, none of us can run this time, wait to hand over our heads in front of the governor." ”

Li Yichen didn't expect him to collapse suddenly, his face turned black with fright for a while, and he lowered his head again and again to say yes, Fang Zhennuo said: "Master Boss's anger, Lord Li's original intention is also for your sake, the so-called bird flies away with Luan Feng, if you can support you to take a step higher." Zeng Shiquan said: "He is not pushing up, he is dragging down." Following the call of raising his hand, the commander quickly approached, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but suddenly froze, Shan Er instructed him to retreat temporarily, turned to Fang Zhennuo and asked: "Xiao Fang, the current situation is in your opinion, what should be done." Although his voice was peaceful, there was a fierce hostility in his eyes.

Fang Zhennuo met his gaze without fear, and said calmly: "The reason why Juhao Pavilion can do trouble is mainly because there are too many people under its banner, if you can catch all the minions, then Ji Yeping can't afford to raise any strong winds and waves with only those few people around him." ”

Zeng Shiquan's face was cold and unchanged, and Fang Zhennuo continued: "The waterway is far away, although we can't catch up with him, but there are still many industrial branches of Juhao Pavilion along the river, and there are also a lot of miscellaneous fish in its small gangs. Hearing this, Li Yichen, who bowed his head next to him, accompanied him and peeked at Zeng Shiquan, knowing that although he still did not react to these words on the surface, he must have understood in his heart that what the court was worried about was not the heroic sword with high martial arts, but the "momentum" driven by these people ,The control may not be able to control the situation,The control of the situation will be able to control the people,All the plans of the Juhao Pavilion are still in the dark,Once the flag of rebellion is waved,It is very likely to cause people in other places to revolt at the same time,That kind of turmoil is what the court does not want to see and cannot bear,In this case, it is far more meaningful to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle than to catch the arsonist,As long as these miscellaneous fish are collected,Not only can it be offset by getting rid of Himeno Hirai's faults,I'm afraid it will also make the governor's satisfaction exceed expectations,

At this time, Fang Zhennuo looked at Zeng Shiquan, leaned over slightly, and had a slight smile on his face: "Now that the account book is in your hand, the master only needs to follow the map, and it is not difficult to catch them all." [Xianmo: The use of the account book is here, Xiao Fang has already planned it in his heart, otherwise he really wants to send it directly to the East Factory to ask for credit, how can he show it to Yunbian Qing, you can know that Yunbian Qing is asking for account books, it is really asking for trouble and not knowing it, this matter is in Xiao Fang's material,]

Zeng Shiquan said: "Account books, what account books." ”

Fang Zhennuo was stunned and said: "It's the account book that I stole out after Himeno Ping left the island, which records the branch strongholds and commercial layout of Juhao Pavilion along the Yangtze River. ”

Li Yichen said eagerly: "This thing is in your hand, don't take it out quickly." ”

Fang Zhennuo said: "I have already handed it over." Suddenly, as if he understood something, he choked on the words in his throat,

Zeng and Li were in a trance for a moment, and their faces immediately showed anger: It seems that he had already given this account book to Yun Bianqing, but Yun Bianqing hid it and didn't say it, so naturally he wanted to take it to the governor to ask for credit, Li Yichen grabbed the handle of the knife and leaned over and said: "Master, this kid is too not a thing, simply,." ”

Zeng Shiquan suddenly pressed him to the side, a white face with a green air, there was a sense of lead water sinking, he didn't speak for a long time, suddenly nodded, asked people to recall Jiang Muxian, and called two personal officials to instruct: "You, go ashore and send a message quickly, tell the governor the truth about the situation here, and don't hide it [Xianmo: Xiaoquan has a lot of problems, but this is the first benefit, otherwise Xiao Guo will never use it,] , I want to remind the Governor that Ji Yeping is very likely to lead people and horses to copy the back road of the official army, please be careful with the Governor, you, hurry back to Yueyang, prepare sixty fast horses for me, feed me with enough grass and enough fodder, and put Yunzhong Hou, Huoli Guwen, and Sonam Gyatso and others out, put them up immediately, and prepare horses for Xiaoshan Zongshu and Lu Huangqiao, and prepare them to Lushan, no, let them go first. Soon after the two officers left, Jiang Muxian's boat also came over, Zeng Shiquan called him up to the ship's building, pointed to the map and ordered: "Ji Yeping did not appear, it does not mean that he must have taken a shortcut to Lushan, and it is possible that he is sneaking upstream and waiting for me to withdraw my troops [Xianmo: Zhou Daozhi, Xiaoquan is not talentless, but he was really broken by his heart, and his intelligence is not in the right place], you take the Qin family's subordinates to continue to blockade the river to prevent him from coming. At the same time, some men were sent up the river to search for their traces, and if they found abandoned boats in the river north of the river, they would immediately return to the army and go down the river as soon as possible. ”

After sending Jiang Muxian away, he asked Yun Bian Qing to be called out of the cabin, and said in a good time: "Ji Yeping has not come to show up for a long time, presumably he has absconded elsewhere with some remnants, and it is important to arrest the Juhao Yu Party at the moment, I have sent Lord Li to be fully responsible for the search and arrest along the river, you have been in Juhao Pavilion for many years, and you must be quite familiar with the personnel and arrangements at the bottom of them, so let Master Li be a support guide, [Xianmo: Miao is not asking him for account books, Xiaoquan has really not done it in vain in officialdom all these years,]" Without waiting for Yun Bian to clear his mouth, he smiled half-accompanied, and continued with an expression of "I'm really sorry": "I know that Lord Yun is a cadre of the Ghost Mist family, and everything should have been arranged by the Governor himself, but this time is special, since Xiao Quan has been appointed to be in charge of Junshan's affairs in front of the Governor, it is inevitable that he will temporarily overstep his responsibilities, everyone is doing things for the Governor, doing things for the factory, and doing things for the country [Xianmo: The Governor is the first, the country is third, and it is dark]. ”

Yun Bian Qing knew that Ji Yeping's temper would never be able to abscond and avoid it, but Zeng Shiquan was so wrong, and he deserved to be criticized by the governor in the future, and he was happy to see a joke, but he arranged for himself to do things with Li Yichen, and most of the credit was bound to go to the head of the surname Li, and it was not actually on the head of his surname Zeng, but now he was under the low eaves, and he had to bow his head, and the people spoke beautifully, and then he did not have anyone available at hand, and he wanted to present the account book to the governor and then come back to catch people, but he was afraid of missing the opportunity, but he couldn't even get some of the last work, and at this moment he knew that he was suffering a loss, so he had to endure it[Xian Mo: This account is useless if you don't use it at this time, Xiaoquan just sees through this, so don't do it at all, if you want to get it in your hand, you also have to send Yunbian Qing to check it according to the book, why bother going around this circle and getting angry,], and said with a smile: "How can it, we are one and the same, and it will be far away if the master says it." ”

I saw Zeng Shiquan smile slightly, and then turned his face away: "Master Li, although you have no affiliation with Lord Yun, you must be polite to him, treat him as the same as me, and even more respectful than me, understand." ”

"Yes, sir. Li Yichen lowered his head in response, and glanced over here: "Lord Yun, next, I want you to take care of me." Yun Bianqing heard that the voice was not right, and his heart was like a mirror: he only had the share of being called, and he had no door at all if he wanted to manipulate him, because there was no "subordinate relationship" between the two at all, and he smiled and said: "Before the Duke of the Governor accepts the guilt, Yun Mou no longer dares to accept the word adult, Lord Li don't call it that." ”

Li Yichen was in a trance a little when he heard this, and suddenly understood: Yunbian Qingyuan did not take refuge, but was sent out by Dongchang, and he was not a white body, he took a small part of the sin of getting rid of Ji Yeping this time, and he and Zeng Zhangye took a large share, and it was difficult to say anything about the rise and fall of honor and disgrace. Don't go too far, the people of the ghost fog have a single line of contact with the governor, although the official position is not clear, the status is extraordinary, maybe it is higher than the status of the four major stalls, it seems that you should pay attention to it, but don't look away, and peek to the side while thinking in your heart, Zeng Shiquan had a slight smile on his face, and his expression was very down-to-earth, [Xianmo: Although the ghost fog is as famous as the red dragon, it is also treated equally by Xiao Guo, but in the hearts of the subordinates, the undercover personnel have always been rarely trusted, It can even be said that he is discriminated against, and Xiaoquan looks down on him, which is normal, and officialdom pays the most attention to aura, and when the aura is lost, everything changes, even if he is empty in his heart, he must pretend to be calm on the surface,]

Zeng Shiquan had no intention of coming back to worry about idle things at this time, and ordered all the officers and soldiers to follow Li Yichen's use, bringing Fang Zhennuo and more than a dozen personal officers, and carrying Ah Yao to take a small boat to turn around and go back to Yueyang, and did not go far into the Chengling Valley, and a clipper came over, Zeng Shiquan took a look, and immediately recognized that it was his subordinates who stood at the bow of the boat, and said loudly when he was busy staggering: "Didn't you let a few of you stay in Junshan, how did you come out." ”

The leader of the officials over there didn't expect him to be on this small boat, beckoning to turn the rudder and stop suddenly, while shouting: "Back to the master, when we were searching the mountain, we didn't find anything like the roster [Xianmo: Xiaoquan secretly ordered to find it], but Lord Yu suddenly remembered something, saying that there is a river near Jianli in Jiangbei that can lead to Honghu, if Ji Yeping and they go here, then you will be in vain outside the Chengling Rock. Xianmo: Yu Lao used to be in the southeast coast, and then stationed in Guangxi, he was not familiar with this area, but with Yu Lao's caution, although he was in a hurry, he must have studied the geography on the road in advance, and he would not be slow to respond, the former was anxious to find Zeng Shiquan on the island to discuss things, and most of the people referred to this matter, but Xiaoquan pressed down for the work, Yu Lao Fang had a "cold ear listening" and a smooth answer, the old man felt uncomfortable, but while cleaning up the mess on the island, he felt that he should not delay the state affairs with this anger, so he sent someone to give a sentence,] , He asked us to hurry over and take a look, if it has already started to fight, it is fine, if there is no movement, let you bring people back quickly, saying that after this half a day, the waterway will not be able to catch up, but Ji Yeping is going to Lushan after all, we are unimpeded by land, if it is from Yueyang to the east straight into the east, day and night, maybe there is still a chance, [Xian Mo: State affairs are big, Yu Lao is Yu Lao after all, everyone has a temper, if the author writes that Yu Lao does not care about the fault of small power, the island will be broken on the spot, it seems that the old general is too "tall and complete" It's a discoloration to read,]"

Zeng Shiquan's eyes fixed for a moment, obviously he didn't expect that Yu Dayou would be able to help him even if he was excluded [Xianmo: I haven't reacted yet, when the old general really remembered it, in fact, people want to tell you when they think of this, you are trying to grab merit, biasing people's mouths, making people's hearts cold, people will send someone to tell you at this time, it is not with you, you still don't understand,], and then raised his anger and said loudly:" You go back, thank the old general for me, just say that I am already on the way, and inform him to leave some people to clean up the aftermath of Junshan, Himinoping is very likely to personally or send someone to Gutian to transfer troops, and ask the old general to return to the defense deployment in time, [Xianmo: If you are moved, you will change your attitude, who said that Xiaoquan does not know grace and righteousness, and people's hearts are flesh and blood,]"

The officer answered, and ordered his men to bow their heads,

The clipper went against the current, sailed into a floating, shining light, and gently shook the shadow, like a piece of charcoal slag that fell into the molten steel, and melted away.

When his consciousness returned to his body, he felt an imperceptible smile beside him, it was Fang Zhennuo's smile, this smile couldn't tell when it was activated and when it disappeared, it seemed to be present there all along, and it didn't come from the corners of the mouth, nor from the bottom of the eyes, but more like it came from the whole body. Coming from a whole, it reminds people of the Duke, and gives people a feeling that all their scheming has been seen through, a feeling that they are gods and not men, and in front of this smile, it seems that all living things are aliens, and they are one and the same,

For a while, a strange and strong antipathy surged from the bottom of his heart, as if freezing his expression, [Xianmo: non-inferiority, real servility, like a sense of crisis that a dog is about to be taken away by a cat]

At that time, he turned sideways and asked coldly, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Fang Zhennuo said: "Oh, it's nothing, the master is thoughtful and well-distributed, which is eye-opening, and Pillow Nuo feels that he is really with the right person this time." ”

Zeng Shiquan stared at him: "You are glad to be with the right person, Zeng Mou is worried that he will lose his eyes." ”
