Chapter 35 The World
Lu Ye and Wang Hu clicked their tongues after hearing this.
Wang Hu muttered.
“I heard from some horse soldiers that the archer who shoots the sky is an old bandit who has been passed down for generations, and the bow and arrow is a martial art inherited from the family. He has practiced it for decades, and he appears and disappears. He is known as the best in Dongsai Prefecture. Awesome shot!”
“Lao San, maybe he was the one who shot you!”
"Don't worry, he's only one of us three. If we meet him in the future, the eldest brother and the second brother will help you beat him up!"
Lu Ye and Zhang Cunyi couldn't laugh or cry.
The one who really wants to take action is She Tuotian. He has been rebelling against the king all the way and has many subordinates. It is not something that the three of them can touch.
Excluding those minions under his command, shooting Tuantian with a bow and arrows, there is no difference between shooting three of them and shooting one. Anyway, they are all dead!
Zhang Cunyi thanked him. Lu Ye saw that his face was pale and knew that he had been fighting for a day and had been injured until now. He was extremely sleepy now, and the broken wound needed to be treated immediately.
So he and Wang Hu stood up to say goodbye.
"Third brother, this place is good, with a big yard and many houses."
"Third brother and I will go catch some more to raise. You let your junior brothers see someone repaying me." I kept all the names.”
Zhang Cunyi naturally agreed.
As a result, one night, people came to defect to Lu Ye one after another.
First there were the white-haired old man and the young boy carrying loads of books, then the blacksmiths, butchers, carpenters came one after another, and finally, surprisingly, there was a prostitute from a brothel.
Although there are also young and strong people, there are not many of them. I don’t understand how Lu Ye selected them.
In the early morning, the county town that had been rioting all night gradually calmed down.
You can no longer hear the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs, but occasionally there are cries of killing and killing. The entire county was on fire last night, lighting up half of the sky with the killing and looting.
Now all the open fires have been extinguished, leaving many smoky ruins burned to a white ground in the city.
Many servants were organized and carts of stripped corpses of men, women, old and children were pulled out from the city. The gray-white corpses were pushed out of the city gate and piled up like two hills on both sides of the city gate. .
In such a large county, even though so many people have died, it doesn’t seem very empty.
Because of breaking through the sky and shooting down the sky, Lady Cao and King Mang Jingang of the Four Routes led their old camp, infantry and young men into the city.
They each designated an area, occupied the area as their king, and plundered it to their heart's content.
Among them, the city that broke through Tianbu was the first to climb, so it occupies the largest area, accounting for almost half of the city, and the other three families occupied the other half.
It is said that the four families were at odds with each other because of the size of their territories. Their subordinates fought fiercely with each other many times over several streets, and were finally suppressed by the superiors.
Not to mention how the above rebel kings fought for their own interests.
Lu Ye rode a mule and asked several servants along the way, and finally found Pan Furong in a large house.
The eldest lady said that she looked down on the fake lady like Lin Daiyu who was too delicate to cut off her head.
However, when she entered the city, she chose a wealthy merchant's house and moved directly into the lady's embroidery building. She drove Miss Zhen and a group of maids into the woodshed, and at the same time strictly ordered no one to harass her.
And dress yourself up in the morning.
Lu Ye found out this information from Sister Hong at the door of the boudoir. When he saw Sister Hong's ugly expression, he felt that now was not the right opportunity to meet his boss.
Unfortunately, the lady's voice has already been heard inside - is it the stable boy? I heard him speak, come in quickly.
So Lu Ye bravely entered the boudoir carefully.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the young lady’s face was painted a deadly white, her eyebrows were as black as iron, and her cherry lips were as red as blood.
A woman who was originally very handsome looked like a female ghost had appeared.
The corners of Lu Ye's mouth twitched and he could only lower his head.
"Miss, I would like to congratulate you. I have recruited a marksman for you!"
"I also promised him a position in charge of the team! I am also married to him. Jinlan became a brother!”
Pan Furong was shocked.
"A sharpshooter like Xiao Li Guanghuarong?"
Lu Ye slapped his leg.
“Miss, you guessed it right!”
“Then is he as handsome as Hua Rong?”
“Uh...Miss, he has a son named Zhang Biao, the kid is quite handsome..." Lu Ye finally understood that the young lady was referring to appearance just like Xiao Li Guanghuarong.
"But there is one thing wrong with him. He used to eat official meals, and when he was guarding the city wall, he killed many people who shot into the sky."
Pan Furong immediately understood that this "Hua Rong" was not a beauty. Man, she immediately lost interest and waved her hand casually.
"The left and right are just a management team, you can make your own arrangements."
"As long as he doesn't kill anyone from our female camp, even if he shoots Chuang Potian's men to death, I will do it for him "Carry it."
Lu Zhizi was delighted that Miss Pan was indeed reliable at critical moments.
Pan Furong frowned and said seriously.
"Horseherd, let's not talk about him anymore. Just rest for a few days. I'll give you dozens of mules, and you can make up half a horse whistle."
"Qin Tong just passed on In response to the king's order, the county lieutenant and several martial arts disciples worked together to break out of the siege and ran away. They may have gone to Fucheng to bring reinforcements. "
"The king gave us priority to replenish our troops and allocated half of the east city to us. We are stationed in Fangfang, and the rewards are huge. In order to silence everyone, we are given another job, which is to spy on the government's movements around the county. "
"The furthest distance may be Dongsai Mansion. , do you dare to go?”
Lu Ye promised that as long as Pan Furong recognized "Hua Rong", there would be no harm in becoming a spy. "However," Pan Furong frowned, "then Qin Tong is the leader of the sentry this time."
"You are always smart, so be more attentive and take advantage of him."
Lu Ye's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, and a smile appeared on his face.
“Don’t worry, miss, I am a very particular person and will get things done.”
Pan Furong nodded.
"Just be prepared. Okay, you can retreat. Someone will send you mules. Don't worry, I will give you some good horses. If something happens, but Don’t be too hard on yourself, you and your two brothers will run when you need to, understand?”
Lu Zhiyi warmed up and nodded hurriedly.
If this young lady's makeup wasn't too unusual, he would have raised his head to let her know what loyalty looks like.
He turned around and excused himself to leave the boudoir.
"Wait a minute," Pan Furong asked suddenly, "What do you think of this young lady's makeup?"
"Others say that this young lady has outstanding appearance, but I don't believe it. You must tell the truth!"
>
Lu Ye turned his head and pondered for a moment, and could only say.
"Looks like Yi Zhang Qing..."
Pan Furong was overjoyed. She knew Yi Zhang Qing was beautiful. When Lu Ye praised her, she waved Lu Ye away.
Lu Ye walked out of the room and couldn't help but stretched his head back and said.
"Miss, you might as well call those maids back. After all, there are specialties in the arts, and you want to be a person of ninety-five!"
Waiting for him to go away, Pan Furong just thought about it.
Yizhangqing, the focus is on the word "green". Does this mean she looks like a green-faced ghost?
She was furious and drew her knife, but found that Lu Ye had already walked away, so she could only give up and throw the knife.
After a while, she washed her face and stuck her head out.
"Sister Hong, go find those maids..."
Lu Ye left the temporary Pan Mansion and returned to Tiegongfang, which became the station where his sentry officer was stationed. .
One night passed, and there were more servants in Pan's mansion that he collected yesterday.
After he met Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi and exchanged a few words, they asked someone to call over the old man who was carrying the book load.
Plop!
Fan Buzhong came with his only grandson tremblingly. When he saw three men sitting with a big horse and a golden sword, he immediately knelt down and swayed non-stop.
"I have seen the big king, the second king, and the three kings!"
Lu Ye waved his hand.
“Our rules here are that only the king of Chuang is the king. For others, you can just call me master.”
"Okay, let me ask you, since you are a child, it is said that a scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out. Please tell me about the affairs of the world."
Fan Buzhong opened his mouth in surprise.
"Master, where do we start with this..."
Lu Ye slowly enlightened and learned a lot from Fan Buzhong.
For example, more than ten provinces in the Jin Dynasty have been facing drought for several years, and the disaster is getting worse, and the government officials are still pressing for a lot of money.
It turned out that the Wei Kingdom next door was very aggressive and occupied a lot of territory by attacking the city. The emperor wanted to fight. If he took a penny of silver, the officials below dared to collect ten times the money.
Natural and man-made disasters have caused more and more refugees, and thus more and more refugees.
Dongsai Prefecture was relatively late in the chaos. Several surrounding provinces and even prefectural cities had records of being breached.
It is also said that it has been three hundred years since the founding of the Jin Dynasty by Taizu. Now many gentry say that the dragon spirit of this dynasty has sunk to the west and is irreversible.
The Jin Dynasty is in a precarious situation and may be destroyed.
Either the kingdom will be taken away by the Wei State, or maybe a real dragon will emerge from Caotou King.
There were also objections from the gentry. Even though the Wei was attacking fiercely, the Ba State was getting stronger and stronger behind the Wei State. There was no guarantee that it would be destroyed by the Ba State before the Wei State attacked the Jin State.
Some gentry said that our country is divided into seven countries. It’s a pity that there is no hero and we can’t unify the world. Every day, the countries are fighting endlessly. Not only are those mud-legged people living in peace, but also these masters like me They are also frightened, which is really abominable.
After listening to Fan Buzhong's words, Lu Ye's face became darker and darker.
In the previous year, he had heard a few words from the refugee army, and he vaguely knew that this other world was not very stable.
Who knew it was so unstable? One state was divided into seven countries, and Jin was just one of them. It was also facing internal and external troubles. It seemed that the Jin Dynasty would be over sooner or later.
I just hope that when this dynasty collapses, my three brothers will not be buried with them.
Fortunately, in these troubled times, he still has troubles and is not so desperate.
Lu Ye looked at the boy next to Fan Buzhong, his eyes couldn't help but shine.
Originally I just planned to grab an old Confucian scholar to ask about the general trend of the world and see how I should stand. Unexpectedly, I bought one and got one free, and I actually met a strange person.
I saw the picture of fish and dragon.
The child turned into a koi carp, and two long eyebrows actually grew on the fish's head...
God knows how the carp could grow eyebrows on its head!
"Long-lived carp - a different species."
"Long-lived carp, a slow release of essence - a life span of one hundred and thirty!"
