Chapter 123: A crazy scholar in front of the refugee camp

Views:

"Go back, let me step back!"

"What about you, what about you! If you want to kneel, you should kneel farther!"

Wuhuang Mountain in the south of the city.

Although the name of this mountain is loud, it is actually a steep and barren soil slope, and because of the lack of water and forests in the vicinity, few people have always paid attention to it.

But today is an exception. Not only are there empty streets in Sijiu City, but even many refugees from outside the city have rushed over to join in the fun. This small barren mountain is really surrounded by water.

What caused these wonders was naturally the birth of the first hot air balloon in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and... the sudden crash!

Of course, this is just what Sun Shaozong had in mind.

The official unified caliber of this matter is: Heaven descends auspiciousness, congratulations to the emperor for ten years on the throne - otherwise, why did this auspiciousness not go there, but fell on Mount Wuhuang

Don't say it, this incomparably nonsense rhetoric really confuses many people.

At this time, Wu Yangyang knelt down at the foot of the mountain. Those who chanted Buddha, worshipped Taoism, praised Jun, and begged to give birth to a noble son, all said their own words, but they seemed to be very harmonious.

And Sun Shaozong's current task is to lead the officers from one prefecture and two counties to set up a cordon at the foot of the mountain to prevent someone from colliding with the auspiciousness on the mountain.

On the mountainside, there was the second line of defense formed by the Huben Camp, not to mention ordinary people, even court officials like Sun Shaozong were not allowed to approach it at will.

To be honest, Sun Shaozong didn't have much interest in that hot air balloon—it wasn't a Led Zeppelin. If you glanced at it from a distance, you could tell it was a shoddy thing. What's so strange

But he really wanted to know if there were people sitting on the hot air balloon, or... whether there were travelers on it!

Although it may not be a good thing to have two transmigrators in the same world, Sun Shaozong still has some vague expectations.

"how."

Just when Sun Shaozong was looking up at the top of the mountain, someone suddenly laughed and said, "Master Sun also wants to go and see that large Kongming lantern?"

Kongming lanterns

Sun Shaozong was stunned when he heard the words. The principles of these two things are indeed similar, so it is still appropriate to call the hot air balloon a large Kongming lantern.

only…

Cheng Rixing, a small county magistrate, can see the truth in it, but the court is still so inspiring, isn't it afraid of making some jokes

Just as he was puzzled, he suddenly saw the crowds not far away receding like a tidal wave, and a team of dragon guards wearing ink flood robes, and two large green sedan chairs carried by eight people flashed out.

At first glance, he knew that a big man was coming. Sun Shaozong didn't dare to neglect him. He hurriedly called Wang Qian, the magistrate of Daxing County, Xu Huaizhi, the magistrate of Wanping County, and others, and went up to them together.

When they got close, Sun Shaozong was waiting to ask respectfully, where is the sacred place in the sedan chair, when he saw that the door curtain of the sedan chair in front was lifted, revealing a white and beardless face.

Sun Shaozong hurriedly replaced the bowing hand salute with a one-knee military salute, and said respectfully, "Sun Shaozong, the humble post, has seen the commander!"

Needless to say, the person sitting in this sedan chair is naturally the great eunuch Dai Quan.

In the past, when Dai Quan met Sun Shaozong, he had to make a few jokes, but today he was not in the mood, so he waved the blue silk handkerchief in the wind, and ordered: "Let people retreat, the Sa family has been ordered by the emperor to welcome the auspiciousness on the mountain. Go back to the palace."

When Sun Shaozong heard the words, he quickly greeted everyone to make way for a mountain road, but he became more and more sure that this matter was not simple - at least not as he thought at first, the commotion caused by the invention of hot air balloons by a traveler .

To say that this father-in-law Dai is a resolute one.

Come fast, go fast!

About half an hour later, I saw a group of people descending from the mountain in a mighty manner. In the center, in addition to the two sedan chairs, there was a hot air balloon that had burned most of it.

According to the shape and size of the hanging basket, seven or eight out of ten were carrying people, but Sun Shaozong went through the whole team and didn't see anyone who seemed to be in disguise.

In the green sedan chair

It seems that the reason for the mobilization is really because of the people on board, not the hot air balloon itself!

After sending Dai Quan and 'Auspicious Rui' away, Wuhuang Mountain naturally has nothing to guard.

So Sun Shaozong discussed with the generals of the Hu Ben army, leaving only a small number of people to continue to guard the foot of the mountain, while the rest went back to the city - after all, the order in the city also needed manpower to maintain.

However, Sun Shaozong did not return to the city directly.

This is a hard trip. How can you not go to the refugee camp and visit the cheap brother

However, Sun Shaozong asked about the direction, so he galloped along the official road, about a dozen miles away, and saw countless thatched huts in front of him, guarding a military camp.

Although the refugee camp was a mess, Sun Shaozong was riding on a horse and carrying a knife, and he had a majestic physique. He didn't have the eyesight to stop him.

So he went all the way to the gate of the barracks without hindrance. Sun Shaozong was preparing to express his intentions, but he saw a young descendant on the road grabbing the ground with his head, and shouted: "I beg the general to be kind, and return Ying'er to me!"

Seeing that his forehead was blue and purple, and there were dried blood stains, he had obviously been kneeling for a while - but the soldiers guarding the camp gate turned a deaf ear to him.

This stance…

Could it be the cheap big brother who robbed his woman

"Master Sun?!"

At this moment, I saw a person who came out in surprise, cupped his hands and said, "Are you here to visit my general?"

This person seems to be a commander of the cheap eldest brother, but I can't remember the exact name of Sun Shaozong.

Raising his chin at the kowtow, Sun Shaozong asked, "What's the matter with this man?"

That Duwei glanced at the young man, and said indifferently, "This servant is not saying that the girl the general bought in the morning is a childhood sweetheart with him, and he is arguing that the general should give him someone - if it hadn't been for him to be a scholar I have already had people driven away.”

Sun Shaozong raised his eyebrows: "A childhood sweetheart? Do you have a marriage contract?"

Before that Duwei could open his mouth, the kowtow scholar hurriedly shouted: "Although there is no matchmaker's words, my sister Ying'er and I have long been attached to each other's hearts, using the sky as the proof and the earth..."

Before he could finish speaking, Sun Shaozong urged his horse to enter the barracks.

If there is a marriage contract, it is impossible to say that he will have to weigh it, but how can the friendship that is privately granted and received these years compare to the real money and silver in exchange for the contract of betrayal

However, Sun Shaozong is not hard-hearted after all. After entering the door, he lowered his voice and explained: "If this kid kneels until tomorrow morning, you will let him go to my house to lead someone."

The captain was in a hurry.

However, Sun Shaozong said strangely: "By the way, doesn't it mean that Your Majesty has allocated a lot of money for disaster relief, how can there be people who sell children and daughters?"

Nadu Wei hurriedly explained: "The adults don't know anything, but after this catastrophe, epidemics often follow. The youngest brother in the woman's family was infected with the epidemic, and she had no money to ask a doctor for treatment, so she had to sell her daughter to protect her son. life."

tsk~

It turns out that it is still patriarchal.
