[Latest chapter reading.]

Inside the bilge, the air is stuffy

The smell of varnish, the aroma of freshly shaved wood and the smell of water combine to create a special fermented taste

Yao hadn't moved since he was thrown in, and was lying on his side on a cramped little bed, like a doll that had been placed there at random

There was no light in the cabin, and she looked at the darkness, and there was an illusion of levitating in the night sky, as if her gaze could penetrate infinitely, and as if she couldn't see anything, but she quickly came out of it, because there was a pain in the air, as if she had a hoe under her while she was sleeping, and she knew that it was not the hoe, but her right arm, which was now dull and numb, as if it was really lignifying, and the left arm, which was hanging down and half-hanging outside the bed, tore some gap in the shoulder joint, and there was a slight and constant pain in it It seems that the tendons at the junction are elongated and thinned, and they want to break and connect, and the same is true for the junction between the thigh and the hip joint

Every slight shake of the hull of the ship would move the body around, and the pain in these places would rise and fall, like microwaves, forming a kind of torture that was neither too strong but also very unbearable

And yet the shaking has a familiar feeling

Yes It's like the carriage that goes to Hengshan

It's been a year

At that time, Chun Tao was holding the whip in front of him, and Brother Chang was sitting cross-legged opposite him with the eldest lady in his arms, and the scene of the carriage swaying slightly in the march was like this

Compared to the autumn in the south, the autumn fields in the north are a little more crisp and cold, and the autumn colors at that time are warm in the memory

Why is there always such a process in life, not long or short, maybe just an extremely ordinary moment, but it can stay in the heart for a long time, not devastated by the years

It's been a year, a year has passed out of thin air, and my memory seems to be still stuck in Hengshan, as if I am still with my eldest brother and eldest lady, and I have not taken a step forward with the years

Isn't this endless darkness just like the night on the top of the mountain that day...... Or is it my current self I have never left Hengshan to watch the snow snowflakes fall

Her mind was empty, and she suddenly felt that the snow had a real feeling, and she came back to her senses, and it turned out that it was not snow, but floating dust illuminated by a few wisps of light

How can there be light

The light came through the cracks in the upper floor, and the needles hung down in a millimeter, and with it, a few gentle steps

Recall that this ship is quite small, and when you came down, you turned two stairs, so you should be on the bottom of the ship, and there is a deck above

"Click"

The sound of the planks clashing against each other from the top was the same as the sound of the sliding door closing after being thrown down by the officer, and it seemed to be a similar cabin from above

After being silent for a while, after a few sounds of water sucking tea, a quicksand-like voice finally leaked from the cracks in the upper floor: "Hehehe, the military advisor really deserves the name of this 'proud son among people', it seems that I will rely on you more in the factory in the future."

followed by Fang Zhennuo's voice: "What did Brother Yun say Dugong and his old man are saffron You and a few masters are green leaves Like Pillow Nuo and the like It's just a small fibrous root that absorbs water at the bottom There is always some scenery on it Can teach us what to do with these buried in the soil?"

Yun Bian Qing laughed and said: "I think you are like an ant climbing branches and pulling leaves, I am afraid that you will ascend to the sky in a few steps" Fang Zhennuo smiled: "No matter how high the branches are, how can they be as high as the clouds Pillow Nuo still has this self-knowledge " Yunbian Qing was silent Ah Yao listened attentively After a while, there was a sound of hard objects rubbing on the upper floor It seems that someone pulled the chair and sat down

Fang Zhennuo yawned for a long time, and his laughter was a little vague and sleepy: "I heard that the palaces and courtyards of the Beijing Division have collected beautiful women from all over the world, and they are extremely prosperous, and when I go back after this trip, I have to ask Brother Yun to take my younger brother for a good shopping " Yun Bian Qing said: "If you want to go shopping, it is most suitable to find a third gear head to go with me, but I will forget it" Fang Zhennuo smiled: "At this point, Brother Yun doesn't have to be like this anymore" Yun Bian Qing sneered Fang Zhennuo said leisurely: "It is said that Emperor Yun is chic and high-minded, and he is not close to women, but it is true that in fact, color eating is also alive and alive It is nothing more than these two things." It's better not to treat yourself badly."

Yunbian was silent for a while, and said: "Extravagance and arrogance are easy to do bad things, we come out with the national mission and the trust of the governor, we should be self-disciplined and self-respecting, how can we be willing to degenerate and contaminate the bad habits on the rivers and lakes He took a long breath, and there was a little more emotion in his originally deterrent voice: "Actually, what is it called bad treatment, eating, drinking, and having fun, and doing too many things is nothing more than that."

Fang Zhennuo said: "It seems that Brother Yun is a person who has realized everything."

Yun Bian sighed: "In the early years in the factory, I was still very keen on grabbing authority, and later, I ...... cough After all, it's young After all, I came out and stayed in the Juhao Pavilion all these years I also planned to set up a great cause to go back to the town of them Who knows that the changes in the factory are earth-shaking I am also used to the wind and moon of the rivers and lakes From time to time, I am a little happy and miss the mistake of making another place my hometown Alas, think about it coldly, but the Governor is right People in this life As long as they can always be at ease, it is good What is enlightened, who can do it, it is not all a joke "

"Feel ......at ease," Fang Zhennuo repeated

Then ask: "What is comfortable?"

Yun Bian smiled: "You are a disciple of Li Lao, you will not understand these two words if you learn through Chinese and Western and the three teachings of Litong"

Fang Zhennuo said: "The word "comfortable" is always on the lips, but when you think about it, you will have a very strange feeling, as if you suddenly become unrecognizable."

Yunbian Qingdao: "The Duke once said that life in the world is always full of ** and fear will want money, fear of illness, and worry about the future For this reason, Confucius passed down the word "prudence" Scholars can be brave enough to break this fear Daomen talks about freedom I want the heart not to be bound by external objects The core is all in one law The way to observe and eliminate it is to "contemplate freedom" Discipline, righteousness, and self-contemplation are all to find the state of 'I am here' I am here I am at ease so comfortable for a while It is a moment of immortal Buddha, not at ease, is a moment of vulgarity, can be at ease, can be Guanyin, today's foolish people will be Guanyin three words chant day and night, hope that he will save the suffering, but do not know that Guanyin is Guanyin is Guanyin, the result is hundreds of millions of kowtows, burned all the sandalwood, bitter and ineffective, all become a joke "

Fang Zhennuo was secretly shocked in his heart and said: "Before, I was affected by Jing Lingyu, sad and frustrated, and suddenly heard the sound of the water duck looking for the shore, and then suddenly realized that I want to live in the world like a water duck standing on an isolated island When it finds its loneliness, it looks into the distance and hopes that there is a bigger land outside the world, but they are wrong This world is actually only this life, and there is no second other shore Buddhism talks about letting go is to let people know that this body is illusory and unreal, and it will decay sooner or later Therefore, don't be obsessed, let go of life and death, face the world with a fearless mentality, and exchange for infinite calmness The Taoist door is also to let the heart not be affected by external things Seeking spiritual freedom and then turning back to do what you should do with a peaceful heart Confucius's "cautious independence" mind method is also in this way It can be seen that the three teachings are the same as the original None of them makes people passive and avoid the world So listening to what he said just now, Guo Shu Ronghua's thoughts are not secretly in line with me."

Yunbian Qingdao: "Why, looking at your expression, it seems that I don't agree with it, your teacher Li Molei is known as 'not eating pork', and he thinks that he is a strange Confucian who is a substitute for the saint and continues to learn, or is a maverick outside the world, I don't know what you think of the word freedom in the hearts of your master and apprentice."

Fang Zhennuo said with a smile: "I don't dare, the family teacher has been concentrating on writing books in the past few years, and rarely talks about these truths, as for me, I don't seek to understand anything when I read, everything is at ease with everything, but according to my will, I live an easy life, and I am quite a bit 'comfortable' As for the 'comfortable' that the governor said, it is a little uncertain."

Yunbian Qingdao: "How dare we lay people look at the realm of the Duke It seems that your understanding of freedom is similar to me What about me, it's very simple I am at ease in everything I am at ease when I look at others If I am not at ease, then others will not be at ease " Fang Zhennuo smiled and said: "Yes Yes "

Yun Bian Qing sighed: "There are many things in the world that you and I can't figure out This word is still the words of the Governor more than ten years ago When he was still a young man I was still young at the time I was still young I see that he is already unfathomable Now his old man's heart I am afraid that it is even more difficult to know The ghost is difficult to know After speaking, he was silent for a long time I don't know what I was thinking After a while, I continued: "It's difficult to be at ease Himeno Ping led people to kill Junshan At this time, most of them have already arrived on the river I don't know what will happen If he really ran away I can't say that I am not responsible." Go back and lose face, not to mention that the credit of these years will also be greatly degraded, and in the future, it will end up with a broken name of 'only making baskets, not closing', so that people in the factory laugh You think you are my brother, but you have to think of a way to share your worries for your brother."

Fang Zhennuo said: "Since the younger brother has devoted himself to following his brother, he naturally wants to share the blessings and difficulties with his brother, and when he arrives in the factory in the future, the younger brother will also take the elder brother as the head of the horse, and there will be no two hearts, as long as our brother is diligent and cautious, and he will not worry about not being able to accept the advice of the governor, who will dare to show his teeth when the tide rises in the future."

Yun Bian Qing said: "Who can take care of the future The Yangtze River is wide and the water is turbulent Even if the brigade is intercepted, it may not be able to withstand the rush with the river Old General Yu has face in front of the emperor This trip has nothing to do with him Who else can the black pot fall on Fang Zhennuo said: "Then what does Brother Evian mean, what should we do Yun Bian Qing smiled: "Brother Fang, you have already made a bamboo in your 'chest' At this time, it is too insincere to push around."

Ah Yao listened and wondered in the bilge I don't know what he meant by deliberately aggravating the word in his chest At this time, there was a little silence on it There was a slight sound of clothes and pages chattering Then Fang Zhennuo smiled and said: "Brother, don't blame the younger brother was also stunned for a while" The footsteps moved forward and then retreated back to the original position and said: "There is Zeng Zhangye who led a large army to block the river, and I can't run away if I want to come to Himeno Ping and his gang Let's collect these shrimp and crabs according to the booklet The credit is not small I believe that this level can always be passed."

The fleet went out of Chengling Jikou and turned east against the current Out of more than two arrows I saw a forest of artillery carriages along the shore Sails on the river were heavy Countless ships were cruising and weaving After the other party saw Zeng Shiquan's flag, he quickly separated a clipper boat and got on the gangplank before he got close A young man took two middle-aged men and walked briskly and glanced at Zeng Shiquan who was sitting on the top of the ship.

Zeng Shiquan sat still, glanced down, glanced at Jiang Muxian, and swept his gaze behind him, but did not answer

Jiang Muxian bowed his head to both sides The two middle-aged men behind him felt the pressure and had to bow down and arch his hand: "Gu tastes new, Mo Ruzhi has seen the master."

Zeng Shiquan let out a "hmm" in his nostrils and said with a faint smile: "Jiang Muxian, you are not in the establishment of the factory guard, and you are not under the control of the military camp, this time our family is willing to take you over It is completely to look at the face of your little Qin Ye Follow the official family to do things There must be official rules everywhere You have to discipline your subordinates well Don't spoil the dignity of the imperial court."

Jiang Muxian lowered his head again and said: "Yes, Jiang Mou was ordered by the young master to serve in the army this time, everything is at his disposal, and the master can use it with confidence, but Jiang's subordinates are all rough and ruthless men Although they are vigorous and resolute, they are somewhat lacking in courtesy, and it is inevitable that there will be a spill of soup and water The so-called 'adults don't blame the villain' Occasionally, it is always indispensable to ask the master to take care of one or two Fortunately, I heard the young master say that he is in Nanzhen Fusi You are in the East Factory Factory Weiyuan is a family The relationship between the two of you is also quite good Public and private As long as we serve carefully, don't embarrass him and the master The master will never let those of us who are subordinates be wronged."

"Tut-tut-giggle" Zeng Shiquan let out a series of strange laughter that were almost hiccups in his throat Like a choked chicken eating food He squinted his eyes and poked his two fingers down He looked sideways at Li Yichen and said: "Look at it Look at it No wonder it is said that the Qin family has been prosperous for the past year and a half There are such talents Can it not be popular Little Qin Ye is smooth sailing in Beijing He is better than his father and uncle Look at the people he chose to bring out Sure enough, it is very different Li Yichen also nodded and smiled: "Yes The back waves of the Yangtze River are urging the front waves So young, he sat in the position of the second head of the Qin family." It's really amazing "When he spoke, his eyes swept over the heads of Gu Weixin and Mo Ruzhi Zeng Shiquan smiled and said: "Hehehehe, Brother Xiaojiang, I don't know what the situation is here."

Jiang Muxian said: "Back to the master, we have used the blood spider silk to open a big net on the river to form a tight line of defense, and it is impossible to smuggle in the past, but so far, no trace of the people of Juhao Pavilion has been found Zeng Shiquan said "um" as if expected: "What kind of blood spider silk do you have, the brother who tuned the string last night used it, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal" Jiang Muxian said: "Although the dexterity is not as good as the family, but a good saddle also needs a horse to fit the stuff is good or not, and sometimes it doesn't matter if it's smooth."

These words are neither humble nor arrogant Zeng Shiquan smiled He waved slightly An officer took a roll of paper and spread it out in front of his eyes with a sideways block The situation of the mountains and rivers is briefly marked on the paper: a wide blue line at the top is marked as the Yangtze River There is a piece of blue in the middle and lower part of the Dongting Lake There is a thin red diagonal line on both sides The left is long and the right is extremely short Both are up to the Yangtze River The lower part is connected to the Dongting The land part in the middle is approximately an irregular, inverted trapezoidal shape The officer pointed to the top of the long diagonal line on the left and said: "Master, this is the entrance to the tuning." Follow your finger to the top corner of the right diagonal line: "Here we are, Himeno Taira came out of the cave against the water, and it was not small to go up in this big circle, but with the current wind speed, there will be another three and two moments, and you will definitely be able to see it on the river."

Zeng Shiquan nodded, stood up, took out the order flag, and the leaders of the officers and generals immediately lined up on the deck and said: "Everyone listen, open the bow and prepare to meet the enemy, if you let go of a boat and a person, all of them will be held accountable and sit together Military law is engaged in the reward of 100 taels of gold for catching the bandit leader Himenodira, and he will be promoted to three levels in a row."

Jiang Muxian and the others retreated in response to the crowd Sun Cheng and Shen Liang also spread their wings in formation For a while, the shadows of the boats on the river gathered The tense atmosphere was doubled Zeng Shiquan looked against the current and looked at the place where the blue sky and the river blended The corners of his mouth smiled coldly: "Hmph, five or six times the strength can no longer hold down your little chicken cub Then I really don't need to have the surname this Zeng."
