"Seal the mountain!"

The same sound echoes in different villages.

In the square of Beishan Village, Zhang Yangping, the village head, led more than 100 villagers in the village to stand in the middle of the square, and in front of the square, there were nearly 100 sergeants wearing armor.

Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian also stood in the crowd, each villager with a trace of confusion and helplessness on their faces.

"Master Jun, the mountain can't be sealed, if the mountain is sealed, what will we eat?" After listening to the words of the leading sergeant, Zhang Yangping, the village head, walked up to the leading sergeant with a hint of begging on his face.

"Are you the village chief of Beishan Village?" the leading sergeant looked at Zhang Yangping.

"Yes, I am the village chief, military master, you see that we, the villagers under the mountain, make a living by hunting, if the mountain is sealed and we can't go into the mountain to hunt, more than 100 families in the village will not be able to live. ”

"I heard that there is a Taoist hall in your village?" the leading sergeant did not answer Zhang Yangping's words, but asked rhetorically.

"Yes, yes, this Dao Hall was moved from Nanshan Village, and it was set up by the young lady of the Shenhou Mansion herself, if the military master doesn't believe it, you can ask the gentleman of the Dao Hall. When Zhang Yangping heard the words of the leading sergeant, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

"Well, now the road to Huai'an County has been closed, if you have any difficulties in your village and want to go to the county seat to procure, it is best to detour some mountain roads, but there are many fierce beasts on the mountain, and you still need a few more people to go together. After speaking, the leading sergeant also took out a black metal token from his arms and handed it to Zhang Yangping.

"Master Jun, that ...... Is the mountain still sealed?" Zhang Yangping carefully took the token, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"The closure of the mountain is a military order!"

"This ...... Closure ...... But...... Jun, military master, someone in our village participated in this year's Taoist exam, and also passed the government exam, and ......"

"Ben will know that Li Xiantai in Huai'an County has already taken care of Ben Jiang. If it weren't for this reason, you would not have been so easy if you wanted to go to the county seat!" the leading sergeant waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Zhang Yangping's words.

"Master ......"

"Okay, needless to say, Ben Jiang has been on the night road for several days these days, everyone is a little tired, have you moved out of the place where you live?"

"It's all ready. ”

"Well, I'm going to be stationed here with the sergeants these days, although it's going to be a bit of a nuisance. But the general has also given you some convenience, and the other villages don't have this kind of treatment in your Beishan Village, so you still have to prepare this wine and food, you know?" explained the leading sergeant.

"Yes, yes, please rest assured, Master Jun!" Zhang Yangping wanted to say something more, but. In the end, he swallowed it, and for the sake of the safety of more than 100 families in the village, he could only do so.

After all, this is a military order of the dynasty. No one dared to disobey.

Although he knew that Fang Zhengzhi had passed the government examination and was participating in the court examination in Yanjing City, no matter how far Fang Zhengzhi had passed the court test, it was still not enough. He didn't want Fang Zhengcheng to have a grudge with the army because of this.

This is also his maintenance of the integrity of the other party, the best maintenance of an elder, and all the troubles are taken on himself. I only hope that the younger generations can have a good future.

"Hmph, didn't you just pass the government test? I don't know the results of the court test, can a civilian in a mountain village still dare to fight against the military order?" The leading sergeant glanced at Zhang Yangping's unwilling expression, let out a cold snort in his mouth, and then began to greet again: "Everyone eats and drinks well tonight, and tomorrow will cheer up Lao Tzu, this time it is a big deal, whoever has a mess will not be killed!"

"Yes!" the nearly 100 sergeants immediately replied in unison.

The leading sergeant nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the somewhat dilapidated Beishan Village, and frowned: "That Li Xiantai told me that what is that kid's name Fang? I was so anxious that I didn't hear it clearly, forget it, anyway, there are no big people in this broken mountain village, and I will participate in the court test? The court test is not so easy, not to mention, Lao Tzu is now receiving a military order, let alone a civilian who is still taking the court test, even if it is the mountain of the hometown of Lord Futai of Xinhe Mansion, it is not mistaken!"

Zhang Yangping looked at the departing leading sergeant, frowned, didn't say anything, just looked at the sky, and let out a sigh.

Fang Houde saw Zhang Yangping's lonely expression and walked quickly to his side.

"Brother Yangping, how is it?"

"The closure of the mountain is a military order, and it can't be changed, if it weren't for Li Xiantai's cleaning in advance, it is estimated that we would not even be able to go out of the village, let alone go to the county seat to procure. Zhang Yangping's tone was a little helpless.

"Since it's a military order, there's no way, Brother Yangping doesn't have to worry too much, there must be some fierce beast on the mountain, just wait for a while, the righteous kid left some silver tickets when he left, I will let Xuelian take it out later, and I should be able to deal with it for a while." Fang Houde comforted.

"Alas...... I just hope this is over soon. Zhang Yangping sighed again.

......

Yanjing City leads to Huai'an County.

A painting boat was making two water lines in the river at an extremely fast speed, and in the sky, a large bird like an eagle swooped down from the sky and landed on a horizontal wooden pole in front of the painting boat.

Soon, a girl in a green dress came over, took a bamboo tube from the claws of the big bird, and then poured out a rolled letter in it, opened it, and the girl in the green dress hurried to the door of the cabin.

"Young master, there is news from Yanjing City!"

"Say it. A faint voice came from inside the cabin.

"The deputy capital commander was killed in the martial arts test, and he was killed by Fang Zhengzhi, and it was ......"

"Go on. ”

"Moreover, Fang Zhengzhi also got the sword of the Holy Heaven God of War Mengtian, and in addition, now he is the official sword envoy, and he is the official position of the fourth grade. ”

"Well, got it, how long will it take to get to Huai'an County?"

"Seventeen days at the earliest. ”

"Arrived in fifteen days. ”

"Yes!"

The girl in the green dress stepped back.

In the cabin, Yun Qingwu sat on a chair in a plain white dress, with a square scarf covering her face and a pen in her hand.

In front of her was a fuchsia bookcase, on which was covered with a huge white paper, densely packed with countless circles and lines, which was extremely complex.

Yun Qingwu frowned slightly, and then, when he put down his pen, he had to think carefully about each stroke, and it seemed that he had to work hard.

This lasted for a cup of tea, and only five strokes fell on the paper.

Looking up at the sky outside the cabin, Yun Qingwu slowly put down the pen in his hand, and there was a faint brilliance in his eyes: "I didn't expect that I sacrificed a deputy capital commander, and didn't stop him from entering the office...... According to the custom of the Great Xia Dynasty, he is going back to his hometown to save his relatives, right? If this is the destiny of heaven, how are you going to break my deadlock?"

......

In Yanjing City, Fang Zheng and Yan Xiu said goodbye at the door of the inn.

According to the practice of the dynasty, after he was crowned an official and received the seal, he needed to go back to the village to save his relatives, and then, accompanied by his parents, bowed to the sky, which was etiquette.

Fang Zhengzhi is not a person who attaches too much importance to etiquette, but now there are still several months before the re-examination of the martial arts examination and the holding of the palace examination, and he is about to celebrate his birthday.

Sixteen years old, in this era is an adult, to add a crown.

Well, of course, it is better to spend this birthday in the village, and it is impossible to say that there is no longing at all for several months away from home.

Of course, there is another reason that Yan Xiu received a letter from Xiliang and wanted to go back to Xiliang, so he would have nothing to do in Yanjing alone.

Just go back to the village, and by the way, play around again, and take the Traceless Sword to see the outside world.

In life, I always stay in a city......

How tedious.

The world is so big, you have to go out and see it!

"When the palace tries goodbye, I will definitely defeat you!" Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhi, the mountain and river Qiankun fan in his hand shook gently, and his indifferent face showed confidence.

"Huh...... Don't blow it, I'm very strong now!" Fang Zhengzhi smiled and shook his head, a look of disbelief. (To be continued.) )
