Chapter 928 A Dream's Life
Spring passes and summer solstice;
A while ago,
Pingxi Prince's Mansion issued several appointments in succession, which seemed a little unexpected at first, but upon closer inspection After thinking about it, apart from being a bit dense and rushed, it makes sense.
First of all, Qu Peiluo, who was originally responsible for the internal defense of Fengxin City, was transferred to the front line of Zhennanguan to start setting up the Chuzi Camp. He was also given a large number of standard household qualifications. ;
The former young master of the Qu family finally got the opportunity to fly out again to show off his ambitions.
Subsequently, it was Jin Shuke who was promoted to General of the Imperial Guard, officially confirming his status as the second-ranking figure in the Pingxi Palace Army after General Liang, and organized the new army.
Below this article is another article: Brother Ke Yandong, who had been sweeping the ground for half a year, was finally dispatched to Yupan City with his subordinates who swept the ground together, and became the general soldier of Yupan City;< br>
The Army of Yupan City The political status is naturally much worse than that of Xueguan back then, but it finally has a new beginning;
And Sun Liang, the original prefect of Yupan City, changed from the position of prefect of Yupan City He was transferred back to Fengxin City and served as construction supervisor.
Of course, he is just a prominent figure. In fact, the Sun brothers have always been led by Sun Ying.
In addition, the palace has two yamen under its jurisdiction, with Chen Daole and He Chunlai as the helmsmen.
These two yamen are under the jurisdiction of many functional yamen in various aspects. Controlling these two yamen can be said to control the economy and people's livelihood of the entire eastern Shanxi. Counting "Sun Liang", these three people are very important in the local area. Among the people, they are called the troika under the palace.
Moreover, these three are all Jin people. To a certain extent, whether in terms of quality, distance or ease of absorption, since the headquarters of the Pingxi Palace is in the east of Shanxi, then absorbing The elites of Jin land are undoubtedly the most convenient and fastest choice.
In other places in Shan Dynasty, the combination of Yan officials and Jin officials is still maintained, and under the background that Yan officials are often the main ones and Jin officials are supplementary, Jindong can be said to be the elite of Jin region leaping over the dragon gate. first choice.
Overall, this series of personnel changes did not surprise the outside world too much, because even the local people had heard about it. The people under the prince, or in the palace, who really hold the real power are the gentlemen under the prince. These All the gentlemen have amazing talents. They have followed the prince from a very early age to the present. Moreover, these gentlemen don't seem to care about false fame, and they basically don't hold positions outside and get titles.
This is indeed true. This is not a secret among the upper circles of the palace. No matter how high your official position or military power is, you must bow and say hello when you see your husband.
So, no matter how the flag outside changes, the palace is still the same palace.
However,
this time,
It's really different.
…
“Madam.”
“Madam.”
Chen Daole and He Chunlai stood in the signing room of the palace.
The person sitting in the side position was still Yuexin, but the person sitting in the front seat was not Si Niang, but Xiong Liqing.
Xiong Liqing looked at the pile of foldables in front of her,
took a deep breath,
showed a helpless smile,
faced the person standing below Chen Daole and He Chunlai said:
"Excuse me, please, two more cups of tea to delay your work."
"Yes."
"Yes."
The two sat down immediately.
They are here to hand over the documents of the past half month for review. This was the tradition when Mr. Feng was there.
But it is obvious that although Xiong Liqing has mastered these tasks, it is only limited to keeping the system from getting stuck in her place. As for giving any guidance, she knows that she is not at this level and does not dare to use it as she pleases.
Xiong Liqing felt suffocated when she thought about how her sister was still doing extremely tedious matters such as banknotes, bonds, and coins when she was pregnant last year, while still doing them in an orderly manner.
So, my sister is my sister after all, and she is worthy of being the one who personally arrested me.
Chen Daole and He Chunlai really sat there and started drinking tea. They had to follow their past habits and conduct a period of "discussions" when reporting on their work.
Although this is a waste of time, it does need to be wasted.
Because everyone has to try their best to maintain this situation to prevent the outside world from knowing that those gentlemen are not in the palace or Fengxin City at this time... they may even not be in Shanxi Province yet.
Not only the gentlemen, but also the prince is not here.
Thinking of the fear and fear of walking on thin ice in the past two months, everyone in the signing room was exhausted physically and mentally, but they still had to grit their teeth and hold on until the prince and the gentlemen came back.
Fortunately,
There is no war now, and the second is the development plan. From the details to the general direction, they have been decided early, so they only need to follow the original process. That's fine. Pingxi Prince's Mansion has already established a well-functioning system, which can be regarded as reducing their burden.
After drinking tea,
Chen Daole and He Chunlai excused themselves and left.
When they went out,
they happened to see Sun Liang pushing Sun Ying out in a wheelchair.
When everyone met, they looked at each other and smiled.
Mr. Feng is not here, and naturally neither is Mr. Bei. We are all here to "waste time" together.
......
In the signing room,
Xiong Liqing rubbed her wrist with pancreatic acidosis,
facing Yuexin, who was sitting on the assistant's desk next to her. , smiled bitterly;
"So tired."
Yue Xin smiled, this lady had to shout tired several times every day.
“I want to go home and take care of the children, and I don’t want to go out to take care of the house. I used to be envious of the empress dowagers in the history of my Xiong clan in the palace. But after I got started, I realized that this was not the case. Son.”
Yue Xin replied. Said: "Madam, if you can have leisure, who would want to work outside."
"Yes, I used to be angry, why do we women have to stay at home to support our husbands and raise children, and women can't start their own careers? What?
Only then did I realize that actually men like to stay at home and not go out. It is too tiring and troublesome to deal with things outside, so it is better to stay at home and feel more comfortable.
It’s just an extra layer of burden on my heart. "
While talking,
the princess laughed again,
"So, our prince saw through it from the beginning. ”
"Hehehe." Yuexin laughed together.
In the eyes of outsiders, Prince Pingxi should take care of everything;
Otherwise, how could Eastern Jin have such a prosperous situation?
In fact, Prince Pingxi likes to stay at home and play with his children. Every time he needs to change into formal clothes when going out, he always looks impatient.
“I just don’t know how long the prince and sister will have to play outside.” Xiong Liqing sighed, “How can this be like this? How can such a huge foundation be abandoned so easily?”
"There should be something important." Yuexin said.
“Of course I know this.”
Xiong Liqing picked up the teacup, took a sip of ginseng tea, and said:
“Fortunately, the people below are well behaved, and the stewards The adults are also calm and capable in doing things, The most important thing is that General Liang is still there. As for General Jin, the prince said that General Jin is one of his own who can be trusted. "
Other matters can be left to others temporarily. This does not affect anything, but military power. , not to leave for a moment.
Therefore,
Liang Cheng unfortunately became the only demon king staying in Jindong this time.
Coupled with the loyal Jin Shuke, these two have the current military power in Jindong, and the land of Jindong will not be able to cause any trouble.
“Keep reading. In fact, there is nothing wrong. The people below have reviewed it more than once before submitting it. But if I don’t do it once, I always feel that this company’s temporary management is too incompetent.”
"What the madam said is true, and it should be so."
...
The back house of the prince's palace;
Tiantian, who has finished today's homework, is practicing swordsmanship.
The person who taught him swordsmanship was Xu Chuang.
Wen Mingshan’s faction has always been a master of swordsmanship. Although they have never produced many real heroes, it does not mean that this faction’s swordsmanship is not good. It is precisely because of the swordsmanship they inherited. The magic and sword skills are both unique, which makes me unable to choose. After cultivating both swords and swords, I have to devote more energy, so I end up in a situation where the strength of my disciples is generally much lower than that of other major sects.
Accompanying Tiantian to practice swordsmanship are Chen Xianba, Zheng Man and Liu Dahu.
Standing not far away is the Sword Master.
The Sword Master has long been numb to his eldest son standing there learning sword skills;
Fortunately,
The Sword Master has other hopes.
Behind Juggernaut, there is a large crib.
But Da Niu and Zheng Lin on the bed didn't seem to like watching the brothers practicing swordsmanship in front of them;
Da Niu hugged Long Yuan,
Zheng Lin reached out to touch Long Yuan, the big girl didn't give it, so Zheng Lin stretched out his hand and the two children started to pull.
No one cried or became anxious, they just instinctively pulled at the things in front of them.
The sword master stretched out his hand, pulled Long Yuan out of Zheng Lin's hand, and gave it to Da Niu.
Yes,
In this regard,
The sword master "bullies the small with the big";
No matter how you say it, he is the big girl. The disciples of Yu Huaping are the successors of Zhenger Ba Jing who will fully inherit his mantle;
He is not an official. If he needs to take into account the overall situation, he is his favorite!
The big girl hugged Long Yuan back and smiled at the sword master.
The Sword Master also laughed,
At this time,
Zheng Lin sat there with an indifferent expression, looking at the Sword Master.
He was having a good time playing around with his sister;
but he met someone who couldn't afford it.
If Zheng Lin could speak now, I'm afraid he would have to scold him directly: "How shameless!"
In fact, he was indeed very angry. The prince of the palace had not had a very good temper since he was born.
At this moment, the red mole between his eyebrows was also bulging.
The Sword Master knew that this child was special, and facing the child's "aura", the Sword Master also slightly revealed a little bit of his own aura.
Zheng Lin's eyes blinked,
The next moment,
turned his head.
The highest point of wisdom is actually seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
He could clearly sense how terrifying the man in white in front of him was.
At this time,
The sword master released a wisp of sword energy from his fingertips.
Zheng Lin immediately turned around and looked over, his eyes widening.
The sword master gently swept the sword energy from an iron accessory hanging in front of the crib, and the accessory was directly divided into two smoothly.
Zheng Lin looked even more intently.
The sword energy suddenly turned around and rushed towards Zheng Lin.
Zheng Lin instinctively covered his head with both hands, but the sword energy dissipated in an instant.
"Giggle..."
The big girl laughed again.
Zheng Lin put down his hands in confusion, looked at everything around him, and licked his lips.
Standing on the edge, the sword master was originally teasing the child, but he noticed the desire in the child's eyes.
He seems to be craving for power.
Even if he is destined to become one of the most powerful few people in the world from birth, he has an instinctive pursuit of power.
This,
He is really unlike his biological father.
The sword master glanced around with the corner of his eye,
He knew that there were no outsiders here;
This time Zheng Fan went out, only taking those few gentlemen with him, and even It was rare that he, Yu Huaping, did not join him.
But even if the child's parents are not here, you will always feel guilty when you have the idea of abducting someone else's child.
The Sword Master clicked his fingers,
Another wisp of pure white sword energy circled out from his fingertips,
The Sword Master looked at Zheng Lin,
asked Tao;
“Do you want to?”
...
"Hiss..."
In the courtyard of a small village, Siniang was helping Zheng Fan treat the wound on his chest.
The wound is very deep. Siniang has just sutured it and is now applying medicine. In fact, the process of applying medicine is often more painful. The medicine has to go inside, and the bursts of pain are more difficult than the suturing process. Bear.
After the medicine was taken, Siniang helped Zheng Fan put on his clothes.
Not far away,
Fan Li is piling corpses;
Xue San is hanging on the flagpole, looking to the north.
The blind man was tortured alive in a shed;
Not only was Zheng Fan injured, but the devil kings could also see their embarrassment one by one. Fan Li was the biggest and had no body parts. He also had the most healed wounds, which were hanging densely on his body, which was very scary.
This is the junction of the forces of Fancheng and Chu State, the default buffer zone between the two sides, and it is also adjacent to the Qishan Mountains. Last year's Three Kingdoms War caused many forces to enter this area in order to avoid danger.
Furthermore, unlike Zhennanguan, which accepts refugees from the Chu State, Fancheng here has a stronger military meaning. Therefore, there are many large and small forces entrenched here, just like a "evil man" Valley" area.
Those who are called kings here, kings there, and those who call themselves generals appear to be very compact, sensible and low-key.
In the past two months,
Zheng Fan has led the demon kings to practice in this area.
There is no other way. Looking around, this is the place.
To hang a big king today is actually just a few dozen people, and to kill a king tomorrow is just a bunch of bandits;
Of course, there will also be hard problems, such as Zheng Fan here I have encountered two "rogue bandits" who clearly had the shadow of the Chu State's regular army, and also encountered a probe from the Fengchao internal guards.
These three times, it can be said that there are dangers everywhere.
With the absence of the Sword Master and the absence of the Jinyi guards, everything has to be done by oneself. Everything seems to be back to those days in Hutou City.
But the effect is also very outstanding.
Xue San, Fan Li and Blind Man all rose up a level during the fight.
This is the result of the last experience. Basically, if you sacrifice your life to protect the Lord and then let the Lord be moved, it will take effect.
For this reason,
Zheng Fancai has to bite the bullet and attack those tough persimmons;
Moreover, you can't choose to attack by surprise. It's best to do it in an upright manner, that is, to pursue danger.
Just for the blind men and the three of them to advance, the gains are already huge. After all, with Zheng Fan’s current status, it is really difficult to naturally take risks;
Even when the Qian Kingdom was besieged last year, eight thousand cavalrymen died to clear the way for them, and Zheng Fan himself did not really fall into the fighting.
But this is not the result that Zheng Fan wants most.
After all, even if the blind men are promoted, it is only to make up for the previous lessons. In this round of lessons, they have not found the real path.
"My lord, I think we can stop for a while," Siniang said.
“Miss your son?” Zheng Fan asked.
"Actually... I don't want to." Siniang replied.
"Well, let's take a look again. The main thing is to find a way out this time." Zheng Fan lowered his head and looked at the wound on his chest.
Having been promoted to the fourth level, he has quickly consolidated his realm during this real experience.
Occasionally when fighting in groups, the shadows of Shatuo Queshi and Lao Tian can still come to mind. After all, the fourth-grade martial artist is already a well-known master in the world.
At this time,
Xue San slipped from the flagpole,
reported:
"My lord, someone is coming from the north."
"Where are they from?"
"They seem to be ours."
"How many people and horses?"
"A few hundred people, should we avoid them?" ”
Before here, I had not encountered Sentry Riders or supporting forces from Fan City, but they all took the initiative to avoid contact.
After all, the purpose of "abandoning my family and career" this time was to pursue the simplest "excitement";
If I had to recruit several teams of soldiers and horses to protect me, I would not be able to achieve the desired effect.
But this time...
“That’s all, the first stage goal has been completed. We all need to adjust and cultivate ourselves one by one, otherwise we may really end up cheating on ourselves.
Go and greet me.”
"Yes, my lord."
About six hundred wildling cavalry quickly surrounded the small village.
The third master jumped down on his own initiative.
Not long after,
the wild cavalry seemed to have received the order and began to retreat.
Immediately afterwards, a small figure in the cavalry team rode over alone.
When he arrived in front of the village gate, he got off his horse and ran up excitedly. Who else could he be if he wasn't the Savage Wang Gou Moli?
"My lord, my lord, it is really you."
Gou Moli knelt down in front of Zheng Fan very excitedly and kowtowed in salute.
Both sides seem to ignore the buffer zone, but in fact they are fighting inside;
In the past two months, a group of martial arts masters suddenly appeared and began to act aggressively here, which naturally attracted Fan Cheng's attention;
Firstly, these mysterious masters who suddenly appeared only targeted forces close to the Chu people, and secondly, they also Take the initiative to avoid contact with your own side, and look again and again at the strange wounds on some of the corpses brought back by your subordinates...
The most important thing is that
The letters sent from Feng Xincheng to Fan City seemed to have a different tone. Although the other party pretended to be like it, Gou Moli could still tell that it was not written by a blind man. ;
After all the clues, if Gou Moli hadn’t made that kind of guess yet, he would have wasted his title as the Savage King.
"Haha."
Zheng Fan had just treated the wound. When he saw Gou Moli coming, he just moved his body slightly and said with a smile;
"Why, don't you just lead the troops?" How many of us are going to fight? This is all over."
The troops stationed in Fan City are mainly composed of barbarian soldiers and horses. With Gou Moli's ability, he can naturally control these soldiers and horses in his hands, and looking at the entire garrison under the Pingxi Prince's Palace, Perhaps here in Fan City, the control and centripetal force are the lowest.
Hearing what the prince said,
Gou Moli was not frightened, nor did he immediately kneel down to plead guilty or show his loyalty.
Instead, he smiled and said:
"Master, Xiaozizi is afraid that the master has already planned to go." I opened an inn and retired to the world, but I didn’t take Coyotito with me. Coyotito is really panicking.
In the past two years in Fan City, Coyotito has slept in the stables more often than in the main house;
The following people. I thought we were being self-denial and setting an example;
In fact, we are just practicing the art of feeding horses in advance, because we are afraid that you will abandon us when the time comes. "
"Haha. "
Zheng Fan waved his hand and said
;
"Okay, let your people come over and escort us back to Fan City first. ”
"The dog obeys!"
......
At night,
Due to the distance and Zheng Fan's injuries, he did not go back at night and starry, but walked on a A temporary camp was set up by the river.
However, Gou Moli had already sent someone to greet the nearby Fan City Rangers, so there was no need to worry about a sudden surprise attack by an organized enemy.
Zheng Fan also rarely had a peaceful sleep, but he still woke up in the latter half of the night.
After waking up, Zheng Fan sat outside the tent, leaning against the stake, looking up at the stars.
After a while,
Gou Moli came over carrying a large bowl of noodles and some side dishes.
When marching and fighting, according to the tradition of Prince Pingxi, the troops under his command mainly bring fried noodles, which are fried flour mixed with salt, oil, sugar and other substances.
The fact that Gou Moli was able to bring out a big bowl of beef noodles in this wilderness proved that he had been aware of the identity of his group for a long time, but he still restrained himself from rushing over immediately.
After all, since I and others have hidden their identities, there must be a reason.
This small detail is enough to show what kind of careful character the Savage King is.
Fortunately, he lost. Fortunately, he tamed him;
As for what he said about raising horses in the inn during the day, Zheng Fan felt that it was not just flattering.
Humans,
have been through ups and downs, watched the sunrise on the mountain tops, endured the cold in the valleys,
now we don’t have to worry about food and clothing,
You have to find some kind of pure spiritual comfort.
Maybe Gou Moli took that as comfort. The inn that he had always talked about since he left Hutou City seemed to end up somewhere inconspicuous in the world. But in fact,
It is always there,
It is in the heart.
Perhaps, it will never appear in reality, and I will never really drive it, but deep down in my heart, it always has its place, and the one at the door of the inn The lantern is still on.
"My lord, I see you are awake. Let's have some supper. Madam is treating Ali's wound." Gou Moli placed the supper in front of Zheng Fan and sat down next to him.
Zheng Fan was not in a hurry to move his chopsticks,
Instead, he said:
"I just had a dream. In the dream, I saw many things in the past like a revolving door. Some of them I have seen with my own eyes, and some of them have been heard of. , but it was all in a dream, and I 'watched' it again. "
Gou Moli stretched out his hand and started to peel the garlic for the prince;
He knew that the prince wanted to talk to someone. It was an honor for him to make it just in time.
“In a dream,
For a while I stood in the farmhouse, watching the blood and fire that night;
For a while I stood in the backyard of the Marquis Mansion in Litian City, looking at Lao Tian who sat on the threshold and turned gray all night long;
After a while, he stood by the Wangjiang River again and asked Li Fusheng, how come these Chu slaves are still alive?
Standing on the wall of the imperial city of Yanjing, the late emperor stood in front of me. Below, a group of old men from the Yan land shouted to save food for the army to build the country, and jumped into the fire pit with laughter;
Standing in the imperial study room, I saw the late emperor’s body covered in rust, but he still continued to swallow the elixir;
The fire in Yingdu, the roar of the fire phoenix and the white hair emerging from the fire;
In the Lu family house, the young prince stabbed his father in the chest with a knife. The father and son seemed to have gone crazy. The same, all laughing;
Under the frozen Wangjiang River,
tens of thousands of ghosts, shouting "obey the Lord's order", rushed out from the bottom of the river, disturbing the sky It started to rain.
I saw eight thousand cavalry, shouting to clear the way for the prince, and went to die calmly.
Oops,
I saw so much in this dream, but it’s okay. Normally I have such a complicated dream, and I’m afraid I’ll feel dizzy when I wake up, probably because I’ve caught a cold;< br>
At this moment, I feel quite refreshed.
Looking back,
Unknowingly, I have experienced so much in these years, and I was a little shocked.
Gouzi,
You are smart,
Guess,
Why did I have this dream? ”
Gou Moli laughed and guessed:
"Lord, are you tired of the past days and want to go into seclusion?"
"Where are you now? It's still early. There are still things to do, commitments to be fulfilled, and there are still things to do." I haven’t seen the scenery I want to see.
Retreating to seclusion,
Oh,
it’s useless to go to the end of the world if you don’t have peace of mind.”
"Hehe." Gou Moli smiled, "Then, my lord, you are..."
Zheng Fan reached out and pressed Gou Moli's hand that was peeling garlic,
said:
“Probably,
I suddenly don’t want to use garlic cloves tonight;
By the way,
Are there any stir-fried soybeans? "(End of this chapter)
