It is said that there is fairy grass, and it can be invisible.
The fairy book has been erratic, and there is no article on this matter.
From whom you have to, you don’t distinguish between false and true.
Persevering in the city, self-proclaimed to be a master of skill
Grab the gold day by day, and pick up the precious treasures.
Others hid their mouths and laughed, happily for a while.
What you get from your side is blind and faint in the world.
Non-humans do not see you, but you do not see people.
"Fairy Grass"
Song Dynasty: Ouyang Xiu
—I am the dividing line —
Yangzhou City, in the yamen of Jiangnan Salt Xunyuan, in the attic with Wu Daozi's "Eight-Seven Immortals" painted on the walls.
Among the stacks of purple gold plates and pine pattern gold plates, there are large silver collars and small silver cakes that are stacked like a mountain; Zhuge Yin is also using tear bamboo rabbit hair as a salt to visit the courtyard. The pen was dipped in saliva, counting and marking the official documents on the case table.
"Shouzhou Yang Xing was stunned, and would like to donate 50,000 pieces of silk and 40 million yuan in money to be appointed as the deputy chief of the government..."
"If you allow him to be, but do you want a real life, Hao defensive envoy, you have to forget it, it is not enough to rely on this point to enter the service... Let him pay the same price again, I will give Let him be a Huai'an army ambassador."
"Nei Shi (Lu Yongzhi) has already said something; if he can take back both Suzhou and Sizhou, why should I offer him the price of two more provincial governors! Naturally, this is also true for Bi Yaozi. One reason."
"Internal History has also explained that it is enough to sell the ministries in the mansion casually, but you must be cautious in the role of guardian, and don't casually sell to people who may be embarrassed by us..."
"We also need to put water and fish well, and leave some time for those who have taken office to return to their originals. Otherwise, if they change too often in a short time, this position will no longer be sold.. Don't do it for a little profit. It’s broken my reputation and reputation..."
Looking at the gold and silver luster that was placed on the ground from the case table, I recalled that he used to be a desolate person who could not even enter the ordinary Taoist courtyard. You can only survive by selling fake and real prescriptions on the street.
In the early years, I was infected with gangrene on the streets, and I was often shunned by the pus and blood that I often grabbed. But since Lu Yongzhi, who was quoted as his arm, clung to the lieutenant Gao in the name of a fairy, everything It's completely different.
Although this public has a habit of cleanliness, but when he believes in the immortal theory, he sits with himself and urges his knees and eats with a cup. The left and right tried to make a comment, but Gao Pian laughed and said: "The gods have used this to pass the human ears!" This is even more trustworthy.
Even if Gao Pian raises a small dog, he has heard of its filthiness and many come and go. The beast of Gao Pian is ignorant of immortals, but Zhuge Yin wisely smiled and said: "Yin tasted before the Jade Emperor. Don't come here for hundreds of years. You still know each other."
Therefore, in the end, Lu Yongzhi obtained the great authority inside and outside the head office. As a member of the party, he has also been given an important position in the Yangzhou Special Administration of Salt and Iron Taxation. Since then, he has a lot of power and money, let alone a beautiful house in a fertile land, and a treasured woman.
Therefore, the most beautiful singers and maikos in Guangling City, the most luxurious clothes and equipment, the finest delicacies, the most majestic and imposing crowds and ceremonies, almost everything naturally came to him. .
He didn't even need to speak in person, as long as it had a look in his eyes and an expression; naturally, there would be people who tended to dazzle and divide the surroundings, using power, intimidation, and deception to take them in front of him.
In order to maintain the status of the immortal family and the unpredictable reputation, they would also be just those minions and party feathers from time to time, secretly using some tricks and tricks to pretend to be ghosts.
For example, the monumental monument in the Yangzi Yard of the Transshipment Officer will be sent to the folk cattle in the evening to Tuoyundao Street, and then a wooden pillar will be erected next to it as a commemoration: "It will come naturally without manpower."
In addition, he would send his disciples and party members to set fire in Luxiang during the rainy season. Then when the fire extinguished itself in the rain, he triumphantly declared in front of Taiwei Gao:
"There should be a fire in this place, and the city will be reduced to ashes. But I sent the poisonous dragon under the golden mountain to moisturize the earth with drizzle. Although it was slightly worrying, the disaster did not happen after all."
Regardless of whether the people in Yangzhou believe it or not, at least the Jieya headed by Gao Linggong is pious and convinced. Between the truth and the fantasy, he seemed to be close to the gods, and only the bridge to the fairyland was in his eyes.
Therefore, at the top of Yanhe Pavilion, people often see this king of Gaojun wearing a Taoist suit and riding on a wooden crane, with a strange light shining in his eyes—it seems only one step away, he can do it. Go to the heaven of bliss promised by the alchemists.
However, pretending to be a god in front of the high lieutenant for a long time, after all, is like Linyuan and awakened in midnight; therefore, he has never stayed with the same woman multiple times, just to prevent the dream from missing.
And in the daily life where all these are real and dreamy, when occasionally being alone, only the luster surrounded by these wealth and treasures can make him feel the peace and tranquility of the long-lost moment.
What he is most grateful for in this world is Lu Yongzhi, who gave him a hand. So even if I know that these official transactions are the result of many generations and the result of making wedding clothes for others, I still enjoy it.
It's just that the other party seems to have been fascinated by the little girl sent by Bi Shiduo recently, not only has he been reluctant to put it back, but there are fewer in front of Ling Gong, and can only rely on himself to share more and make up for some.
—I am the dividing line of repaying my gratitude —
And on the other side of the Jiangnan Chizhou. The Xiongrui army, which was retreating with all strength under the leadership of military envoy Gao Ming, also encountered corresponding troubles.
Although at this moment, there were no decent chasing soldiers to threaten and contain; however, they soon discovered that the bridges and roads on the return journey were destroyed first.
Although it seems to be rather hasty, the extent of damage is quite limited; for example, at best, cutting off a few pillars under a small wooden bridge, or digging a rainwater-filled horizontal trench on the road.
Although these destructive methods did not really hinder the pawns’ ability to pass; the big deal would be to line up to wading across the river or to go around the ridge beside the car;
But the horses and carts and mules and horses they carried were not so good. At this moment, the Huainan officials still did not have the determination to abandon these burdens.
Of course, even the amount of work needed to repair it is a trivial matter for the 8,000-scale heroic army.
But it couldn't stand the emotions that everyone was thinking of returning nowadays, and amid the frequent changes in the gossip, the morale and the army became more and more anxious.
Not to mention, these sporadic vandals were still in the puddles, ditches, and ridges that needed to be bypassed. They moved their hands and feet, inserted bamboo sticks, or buried thorns.
The bloody stabbing of people's hands and feet is not a matter of life, but it also further delays the progress of cleaning and repairing. As a result, the transportation team, which is fully loaded with luggage and gains, has become more and more backward and concentrated.
As for the division of troops to search for and pursue these potential saboteurs, the soldiers assigned at the very beginning may have some motivation; but it didn't take long for the soldiers sent out by Zhexi to be able to return.
The result that Gao Ming sent people to find and respond was also very surprising; these soldiers did not encounter an ambush or other enemies were unpredictable, but took advantage of the situation to rob the place, but naturally they made a mistake. It's the return date.
Then, he simply gave up these futile efforts and began to concentrate on solving the obstacles on the road, and let the soldiers of different affiliations be in the same team looking for materials nearby, monitoring each other and sitting together to ensure progress.
Despite this, it still took a lot of time. When their men and horses bypassed the lower reaches of Danyang Lake and arrived at Huangchi Town occupied by another officer and army, they still spent a whole day and night.
At this time, the news that the Huainan army had begun to retreat finally spread around the surrounding area; so when the soldiers were struggling to be physically and mentally exhausted, Gao Luo, who had been corrected all night in Huangchi Town, found the town. Scattered peepers have appeared in the field outside.
When the official army ignited the town of Huangchi and set off on the road again, there were more and more snoopers in the wilderness, and they continued to appear on the edge of the mountains, hills, and Pize.
But as long as the officers and army have made the gesture of chasing and driving, they will disappear like scattered birds and beasts; however, not long before, similar figures will appear again not far from the road ahead.
It's like there is something intangible, passing and relaying among them; although it has not been able to cause substantial damage and hindrance to the Huainan army horse, the psychological pressure of being monitored all the way is still brewing quickly Open.
This kind of emotion, like a shower brewing in silence, finally, after traveling more than 30 miles, arrived at another rear stronghold controlled and left behind by the officers and soldiers-Xuedian Town; it suddenly broke out because of an inexplicable factor and reason. Up.
I don't know who started on the street first, and then it became a cathartic act led by Gaoyou Town Army to burn, kill, and looting in the town; then the soldiers of the Heroic Army also joined in one after another.
Soon this big town, which once had more than six hundred households and four thousand mouths, was turned into a hell on earth where corpses and ruins were everywhere, and only unclothed women were spared.
At this time, there were even more snoopers gathered in the countryside, and they even appeared in groups in broad daylight in the Huainan Army's field of vision, playing banners of mixed colors.
Although it seems that the officers and soldiers who are still strong and strong, as long as they turn around and kill a carbine, they can easily smash and crush these incomplete equipment, and they are also mixed with old and weak mobs, but at this moment no one is willing to take the initiative to do this kind of thing.
Because it’s only 20 miles away from Caishiji and the town where it’s located, it’s only a half-day journey away; and the first person to realize this is not the strongest subordinate, but Still reluctant to give up the massive gains of Gao Ming.
Rather, before dark, he had eaten his subordinates early, and then fell asleep early until midnight before quietly abandoning the excess baggage and burden, and only brought dry food and went to Gaoyou town general Zhang Xiong.
But in the chaos after daybreak, the soldiers of the salt court knew that they led the soldiers and horses under his command, and they ran towards the river without saying goodbye. Gao Ming had only time to control the remaining two soldiers and horses, and he chopped dozens more. The personal head serves as a deterrent to stabilize the situation.
However, at this time, he has also become described as withered and with a wrong beard, and some advances and retreats are called valleys. At this time, there are more and more "mobs" gathered in the wilderness, and he even took out the golden drum to beat and practice. .
Such a scene also made Gao Ming once again made up his mind: Then he said to the anxious ministers:
"Since the Gaoyou soldiers and the like were the first to take the lead, then we did the opposite, and walked along the river to the Jieshiji in the west of Dangtu.. Another ship was looking for a boat to cross the river or not..."
However, turning from here to Jieshiji on the river's edge, although it is only a dozen miles away from Mapingchuan; but the hostile thieves who gather together will not let them easily complete this distance.
The problems of roads being cut off and river banks being opened, although no longer obstructed in the direction they are heading, those "thieves" are becoming more and more daring.
They even kept getting close to the range of the official army's crossbows, using their own bows and arrows to start sporadic to frequent attacks along the way: and once an official army fell behind because of this, they would not politely swarm them.
Therefore, when walking and stopping all the way, under constant expulsion and sporadic battles; five miles away from Jieshiji, the Caohe Patrol, who was detained with the main commander and low morale, took the lead in dispersing and collapsed and became those gathered together. The first prey of the thief.
However, taking advantage of the opportunity to escape created by the Caohe patrol, the remaining Xiongrui Army and the majority of Chuzhou Unity finally saw the rushing river and the ships in the Joshiji Ferry are still there.
But soon, cheering and cheering as the first to rush into the Jieshiji Ferry, trying to control the ferry and fishing boat soldiers, but they turned around and fled one after another in a louder uproar.
After a while, Gao Ming, who gave up his mount and walked, couldn't help but fell to the ground with a horrified expression, and Jiang Shang said with trembling fingers: "This is the day I want to die..."
Because in that direction, among the night haze and the clouds that were gradually dissipating on the river, there were a large number of boats and boats coming downstream amidst the rumbling drums.
And as if responding to the faint drums on the river, from above the wilderness, there are also jagged drums rumbling everywhere, like a noose for life, gradually approaching the radius of Jieshiji. .
And among these faintly arrayed crowds, the reflections of armor suits and swords are still shining. Obviously it is the armored weapon that was abandoned by weight reduction in a panic, but now it has become these armed thieves. It's a reminder. (End of this chapter)
