In the ninth year of Long'an, Calais Yinghu died, and the prince succeeded to the throne. On behalf of the Eighteen Tribes, he officially announced his surrender. The new Wolf King was conferred the title of King Jue. In Shuobei Province, the northernmost part of Daliang, the surrendered nobles were all under the control of the governor of Shuobei.
So far, the Eighteen Tribes no longer pay tribute to the imperial court, and they are all included in ordinary taxation.
Daliang was celebrated throughout the country.
Shen Yi temporarily left the handover, Gu Yun wanted to return to Beijing to resume his life, and Lady Cao was with him. Chen Qingxu had just developed the whole female secret technique, and it was too late to digest, so she also left to return to the Chen family.
Before leaving, Gu Yun called her aside. At first, he wanted to ask Wu Ergu if he was sure of the solution, but later he felt that the question was in vain. A reliable person like Chen Qingxu would definitely not be full of words. A sentence of "do your best", so there is nothing to say, he thanked Chen Qingxu very solemnly, and said, "It's all up to Miss Chen."
Chen Qingxu did not dare to accept the salute, and explained to Gu Yun for the first time: "Xiao Cao has helped me translate a lot in the past two days. There is no separation between witches and poisons in female secret arts. Many unthinkable practices are ritualistic. Which ones? It is really meaningful, and what is nonsense, it is difficult for me to say clearly at the moment, the commander gave me some time."
Gu Yun was busy and said no problem.
Chen Qingxu took out another sealed envelope and exhorted, "These are all nourishment recipes, it's useless to take one or two times, you have to take time to take care of them slowly, the handsome loses too much, it's better than nothing, the usual medicine Moderate anyway."
Gu Yun nodded and put it away, looking up just in time to catch a glimpse of Shen Yi who was staring at him.
Shen Yi glared at him, Gu Yun knew him for so many years, and it was the first time that he knew that Shen Jiping's eyes were so smart that he could swear - anyway, he clearly saw in Shen Yi's eyes, "Where did you two come from so much to say?" resentful.
Gu Yun rolled his eyes at him and said to himself, "You're watching by yourself, can't you expect a big girl who is naturally taciturn to talk to you? It's a waste every year, especially this year."
The two stared at each other for a while, and finally, Shen Yi couldn't help but walk over, and first said to Gu Yun angrily: "Master, it's time to go, don't miss the hour."
Then he turned to Chen Qingxu awkwardly.
Gu Yun didn't bother to look at his virtue of not being able to kick a fart with three feet, so he tapped Shen Yi's waist lightly with the horsewhip, mounted his horse and left.
When Gu Yun returned to Beijing to resume his life, the people had heard about it in advance, and word of mouth spread. On that day, the streets and alleys were full of people, waiting to see the generals of Xuantie Ying, but after waiting for a long time, they didn’t see anything— There were only a few civilian officials who represented the surrender of the imperial court and walked over from the Yi and the Beida Camp with a little-known sergeant from the former Northern Xinjiang Garrison, the former Central Plains Garrison, and the Xuantie Battalion. I went home in a small carriage that was not very conspicuous, and went directly to the palace the next day.
He used to love the rhythm of swaggering through the market and throwing fruit into the car. He could blink his eyelids all the way to the neat-looking girl on the side of the road. But now I don't love it anymore. First, Jiangnan has not recovered, and he has no face. Second, he gradually began to dislike that kind of flashy and lively. He couldn't tell why, maybe he was tired, or maybe he was old.
At this time, Chang Geng, who was dawdling for some reason on the way north, hadn't come back yet. Chang Geng was not at home, Gu Yun himself had nothing to do in Hou Mansion except to listen to the birds scolding the street, he dared not let go of his heart and eat to death and sleep for three or five days to cultivate his vitality - that was the way of young people, he no longer did. He has such conditions. If he really relaxes his psychological strings, he may not be refreshed, but a serious illness.
Therefore, he hurriedly ordered a Mao in front of Li Feng, and then he had to rush to Jiangbei.
Before Gu Yunlin set off, the letter came to visit.
Duke Fenghan sat down and didn't even have time to drink the tea, so the monkey hurriedly pulled Gu Yun away: "Commander, the Royal Highness of Yan Wang has sent a letter asking me to show you this before you leave."
Gu Yun smiled and said, "Why, Duke Fenghan made a sea monster?"
Zhang Fenghan smiled "hehe", but he didn't say anything. A few years ago, his old man looked like an old man with no one to send him to his death. Dare to love is idle. Like a blossom, her face is full of red, as if she had met a beautiful old lady.
Gu Yun had no choice but to get into his old man's car, and voluntarily assumed the position of the servant who brought tea and poured water, to prevent Zhang Fenghan, who was spitting heavily, from saying that he was dehydrated: "Fenghan's old man should be strong, which is really enviable. "
Zhang Fenghan hurriedly said, "I don't dare" to take the teacup, his gray beard upturned, and smiled: "The court needs my old thing, I live vigorously, this fire machine steel armor, everyone It's all dirty, but I have loved this line of work since I was a child, not only love, but also love to be famous, isn't it a beautiful thing?"
Gu Yun thought about it for a while, and felt that it was the same reason, but unfortunately it couldn't be applied to him - it was normal for others to love lighters and steel armor, and it was normal for an official to love a high-ranking official and a rich salary, but when it came to him , To say that love to fight and love to kill is not very human.
But at that time it was precisely he who chose this path.
why
Gu Yun couldn't remember it for a while. Anyway, he remembered that he hated the word "going to the frontier" when he was a child, because it meant that he had to separate from his playmates, he had to see his terrible father every day, and he couldn't eat well. sleep well. When he was in his teens, he was put on the battlefield by his father's old minions. Before he could get his youthful blood on his head, something went wrong in the first battle. Later, he gradually got used to the days of eating sand in the frontier. Young and frivolous for a few years, and when he heard Calais cryptically reveal the truth about the transformation of the Xuantie Camp, he had completely extinguished his desire to expand the territory, and it seemed that he was doing his duty every day.
When the whole country was immersed in the joy of victory in northern Xinjiang and the recovery of Jiangnan might be just around the corner, the commander of the four realms and a bad old man were sitting on a rickety carriage, asking themselves about their choices, and they were puzzled - he I recalled a little bit of my own life, and found that the spring breeze was complacent and the beauty of the people was ostentatious.
All I can think of now is when Ji wanted to give up.
Just before leaving, Zhang Fenghan said, "Commander, here we are."
Gu Yun had already packed up all the old things in a short time, and put on a very expectant expression at the right time to make the old man happy: "Don't tell me what the Lingshu Institute will do?"
The voice fell, and he suddenly felt that the ground trembled slightly, as if some behemoth was passing by, and there was shouting from outside the car.
Gu Yun jumped out of the carriage and was stunned.
Seeing that a huge creature was really in front of him, Gu Yun said, "Is this the steam rail car?"
It seems that the drawings that were flipped through in the post in the cold night have come to life in situ. The front of the car is vividly engraved with a relief of a hundred horses galloping. A horse with angry temples is at the forefront, with its head raised in a neighing shape, and the back Pulling a carriage that can easily hold things at a glance, the complex devices on the wheels are exposed, which makes people dazzled - a layman like Gu Yun can't tell which is useful and which is purely decorative. effect.
"The rails are under construction. This section is only for trial runs, and it's not long." Zhang Fenghan was sweating with excitement, "Ge Chen! Where's the Ge Chen people?"
A small round face appeared from the window behind Matou: "Hey, Master! Lord Hou!"
Zhang Fenghan: "Show the commander how our car runs!"
Ge Chen stretched his neck and howled, "Okay!"
Said that he retracted into the front of the car, and a young monkey-like spirit pivot gestured in front of him with two flags, and the steam rail car started slowly, a purple flow of gold that only Gu Yun could smell. The fragrance floated out from the steam on the roof, followed by a long beep, and a string of tails did not affect the movement of the front of the car at all, and it ran steadily faster and faster—
In the end, he disappeared from Gu Yun's sight.
A bunch of crazy spirits around began to chatter again, Zhang Fenghan could only maintain order at the top of his voice: "What about the rules? What about the rules! In front of the Marquis of Anding, can you give me a face too?"
Nobody listens to him.
Zhang Fenghan had no choice but to turn to Gu Yun embarrassedly: "The commander is laughing, they have been like this for the past two days, the car runs once and calls once, it doesn't matter who comes - oh, to tell you the truth, this thing is Du Gong's overseas relationship. , The blueprints bought at a high price, but those foreigners are very treacherous, whether they are mixed or not, and they have invaded our court. It wasn't that His Royal Highness King Yan was secretly helping to deal with it, this project has long been abolished by the above, it is too easy for these children, you should not pick on them for spreading their virtues everywhere."
Gu Yun stayed on the spot with his hands behind his back, still staring at the direction where the steam train disappeared. He actually wanted to make a noise with the spiritual pivots next to him. He was afraid of scaring others, so he had to force a plan. The steady shell came, but the heart had already run away with the long car driven by Zi Liujin.
An artery-like steel rail lays down along the canal, and the two rivers are no longer far away from the sky and the emperor.
Gu Yun couldn't help thinking of the vision Chang Geng once said to him: "Let the lighters running on the ground return to the fields, and the long kites flying in the sky are filled with ordinary travelers who bring their families to their hometown to visit relatives."
Gu Yun turned to Zhang Fenghan and smiled sincerely: "Fortunately, I haven't been picky for so many years, otherwise where would I go to see this kind of thing for the first time?"
Lord Fenghang completely failed to grasp the essence: "Hahaha, the handsome is joking."
Gu Yun didn't know what name Qing History would give him after a hundred years. Anyway, he was there when the Western Regions were repressed twice, when the capital was about to be destroyed, and when the Northern Xinjiang surrendered, the first steam rail car. He was there when he was leaving with a roar of dust—thinking about it, the confusion in his heart on the way was resolved, and he found a bit of interest in "I am everywhere" from the middle.
At the beginning of May, Gu Yun set out for the south and found out that King Yan was walking along the official road by land, so he simply abandoned the eagle and rode along the official road with a team of light cavalry. Sure enough, he was in the territory of Zhili, not far from Beijing. For a long time, I "ran into" King Yan's car.
Chang Geng didn't intend to delay the trip. He "sharpened the knife without missing the woodcutter". He met the people he needed to meet one by one along the way, and was ready to set off a storm when he arrived in Beijing.
This was a long way to go. He didn't expect to meet Gu Yun, who disappeared without a trace. When he heard the report, he almost bounced out of the car.
He pretended to do a good job of etiquette in front of him. Once he reached the inn where he was temporarily resting, he closed the door and backed away. Chang Geng wanted to stick to Gu Yun, and he touched it up and down: "Why do you ride on the official road? It's not too tiring. Have you ever been injured in Northern Xinjiang? How is your wrist eating for me for a while? Did Chen Qingxu say anything?"
Gu Yun leaned to the side and listened to him asking verbally again the long-winded words he usually wrote in letters. He was not in a hurry, and asked with a smile: "Which one do you want me to report first?"
Chang Geng laughed for a while, and found himself overexcited: "Why don't you use an eagle for such a long journey?"
Gu Yun: "Just change at the garrison station in front."
Chang Geng was stunned for a while, suddenly realizing Gu Yun's implication, he raised his head in amazement: "You are for"
"Isn't it? I've been waiting for a long time in the middle of the road, specifically to rob His Royal Highness King Yan." Gu Yun stretched out his hands to support his sides, resting his chin on Chang Geng's shoulders, and said lazily, "If you want to pass by here, stay and buy Road fortune."
Chang Geng's throat moved slightly, and inexplicably remembered the palm of his hand sent from thousands of miles: "Jiao Cai or robbery? Cai has a palace and a courtyard, a shop specializing in selling rare items, and"
Gu Yun pretended to be surprised and said, "So rich? It's the first time I ran into this kind of fat sheep. If my life is really good, I'll be robbed!"
Chang Geng laughed and pulled him down unexpectedly. He leaned into Gu Yun's ear and said, "Foster father, you must have seen the steam car. How about you promise me?"
Gu Yun immediately repented: "Look at my sloppy mouth, I made a mistake just now, do it again - boy, you should pay for it."
Chang Geng coquettishly said to his ear "wronged": "I don't have any cash, my man will spend all the cash, can't I just sell myself?"
He stayed in the Liangjiang Camp for a few months, and his accent was almost taken away, and from somewhere he brought a watery soft voice. Entering Gu Yun's ears, he heard numbness in his back. He had no choice but to give whatever he wanted.
It's a pity that there is only one night of warmth in a hurry, and the next day, they have to pack their bags and pass by each other, one going north and one going south, like changing shifts.
King Yan officially returned to the DPRK and resumed his command of the military aircraft office.
Fang Qin silently prepared two excerpts. If King Yan's handling of the beacon tickets was ineffective, he would participate in King Yan's disaster for the country and the people. Back then, he pushed the beacon tickets with short-sightedness, causing the current chaos. If he tries to use the topic again, it may be abolished. King Yan's several administrative reforms restored the smoky court to its original state.
If those giants who didn't buy the accounts of the households actually obeyed after King Yan came forward and successfully uncovered the beacon ticket, then there is much to be done - King Yan has not always advertised that he is not a party, a group, and a righteous person. For himself, Fang Qin knew that he and Du Wanquan and his group had been plotting a long time ago, but he had never been able to get hold of him. What kind of heart is in the hands of a businessman who has even gone to sea several times and has connections with Westerners
Fang Qin was fully prepared and never intended to turn King Yan over—when he passed by King Yan at the court meeting and nodded to each other, Fang Qin could feel that King Yan did not intend to let him go.
