Earlier, Qian Lu strayed into the trap because of the sloppiness and pride of his youth, so that he lost his official, mother, wife, and son overnight, and his family was ruined, and he returned to Huixian with empty sleeves.

It stands to reason that he almost missed a big thing like this, and he is already an outcast. But fortunately, the son Mu Sheng was generous and benevolent, not only did not blame him much, but also told him to relax his mind, avoid the limelight for the time being, and just wait for the next day to take the opportunity to make a comeback, and then have to serve the country and avenge his hatred.

In the previous year, the cold winter was difficult to overcome, and the son Mu Sheng was sympathetic to the people, so he used his name to buy a large number of clothes and donate them to the poor and disaster-stricken people.

In this way, Qian Lu finally settled down, and he was very bored on weekdays, so he also had a plan. In the spring, at the entrance of the village, a penny roadside tea stall was set up, one for the deceased relatives to accumulate virtue and seek blessings, and the other was to store some people's feelings and conditions in the passers-by who came and went, so as to be used later.

This tea stall is supported day by day, and when Gongzi Mu Sheng knows, he will send someone to bring money from time to time. In this way, on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, Qian Lu will give porridge to the people in the tea stall. After going back and forth like this, the villagers and elders all said that he was a good person, and they knew everything a little more. As soon as there was a stir in the county, Qian Lu heard the news very quickly.

That is, since a few days ago, the county residents have more or less encountered some outsiders who passed through Huixian. Those strangers were in a hurry, and they didn't want to say where they came from, but they only lamented that the weather was not good, the harvest was not good, and they wanted to go elsewhere to join their relatives and friends, and change their livelihood.

Over the years, the weather is unfavorable, the year is not good, and there are many people in the Zhou country who have been going to other sides because of the hardships, so there is nothing unusual about this matter.

A few days later, another team of black-clothed people suddenly came to the county. These black-clothed people not only interrogated everywhere in the county, but also arrested the outsiders from Chaohui County when they saw them, and the posture was so compelling that the people of the county did not dare to go out. One day, a woodcutter called Peng Da to go up the back mountain to chop wood, and by chance he saw the black-clothed people killing, and saw their white knives and red knives coming out, which scared Peng Da, a five-foot man, trembled on the ground.

Everyone in the county knows that Qian Lu is kind-hearted and has done a lot of good deeds, and he is a big official who came back for Ding Wei. So he hid on the mountain until the dead of night, and Peng Da turned his head and went to Qian Lu's house.

Qian Lu already felt that this matter was strange recently, and when he got the letter from Peng Da, he felt that he couldn't ignore it. So on the second day, with the help of the villagers and elders, Ji led away the black-clothed people who were hidden in the shadows, and rescued the stranger who was almost caught back home.

After settling down with the stranger, he was shocked to find out that since the middle of May this year, it had not rained in Pengze County. Today, Pengze County is even more in the predicament of lack of grain and grain.

However, even so, Lu Kui, the county guard of Pengze County, refused to report the drought to the imperial court, and in order to conceal the drought, he was in the same place as Gongzi Heng, trapped all the people in the city, and ordered those who left the city to be beheaded.

As a result, the people of Pengze County were not allowed to go out to ask for help, so they had to watch as the food at home gradually emptied but could not keep up. Later, under the beating of the famine, the infirm, sick and disabled died one after another, and the corpses of the county died of starvation among the walls every day. Gradually, the white bones inside and outside the city accumulated, and it was really stinky.

It was also at this time that the rich nobles in the county who were originally closed to themselves felt that it was not good, and only then did they realize that if they continued to be so closed-minded, Peng Ze would become an island, and the dry bones that had accumulated would also be their end. So everyone who had a mind and a way to buy off the city guards with all their money and fled with their families.

However, if there are many people who flee, they will be detected. So there is this team of men in black who go around blocking and burying the news.

Hearing this, Qian Lu was surprised, he was busy hiding and settling down the foreigner, shaking his hands to repair a book, and ordered someone to send it to Gongzi Musheng quickly.

On the other side, when Feng Qianlou entered the Wei realm with the Wei envoy, the night was already dark.

It stands to reason that Feng Qianlou is a guest at the door, and he should be well entertained and take a break. However, the Wei envoy did not change his original intention, did not stop at all, and only rushed to the palace city of Wei in a hurry.

Seeing this, Feng Qianlou frowned, raised the curtain and looked at the Wei Palace City Tower in front of him, his expression hidden under the mask of the golden lotus was extremely complicated, and without waiting for Wei to speak, he took the lead and said, "You Wei people are not clear about the incoherence, you are in a hurry to save people, but why do you still want to enter the palace to face the saint at this time, what do you still see the old immortal of Wei Jun doing, go to Gongzi Qingfu first."

There was the most obvious contempt and ridicule in his words. But Wei Envoy listened all the way, and he was already a little used to it.

Feng Qianlou has always driven Wei Envoy in this way. Even if Wei Envoy was unconvinced, he had to suffer in vain. After all, he has a responsibility and must not slack off. It's more secretive and not easy to offend.

After all, when Wei Jun favored his concubine and killed his wife, and burned the Queen of the Wind, that is, the second daughter of the Feng family, to death at the stake, the Wei country was flooded and the plague was rampant, and every family suffered. More than ten years have passed, but all the Wei people believe that the catastrophe of that year was all caused by the abuse of Ningchuan magic after the wind. So he, like most Wei people, had a special fear of Ningchuan City. is even more jealous of Feng Qianlou, who was born with a fairy lotus on his forehead, with colored light on his feet, and is rumored to be deeply versed in strange arts.

Now, seeing that his duties were approaching, the Wei envoy was even more polite, and he hurriedly said, "The young master doesn't know, because the king is worried about the safety of His Highness, he has brought His Royal Highness into the palace." ”

Hearing this, Feng Qianlou was as gagged as a soft persimmon. After a while, he said coldly, "Then what are you waiting for?"

The night is quiet, and the moon is moving up. It was dark everywhere, and the sparse light of the palace lamps on the corridor swayed in the wind.

The dormitory where Gongziqing temporarily lived was extremely gorgeous and complicated, and the furnishings in the room were obviously out of control, and everywhere, Wei Jun's preference and expectation for him were revealed. Feng Qianlou only glanced at Wei Gongziqing, who fainted on the couch because of the poison, his left arm was hideous and purple, and he was necrotic at the beginning, so he ordered the palace maid to close the palace door tightly, and hung a heavy cotton curtain in front of the door and behind the door.

After a while, there was no one else in the room, and there was not even a trace of atmosphere outside the hall, so he smiled slightly, approached Wei Gongziqing, who was faint on the couch, raised his hand, and tried his snort.

After a while, he saw Feng Qianlou sneering and took out a delicate wooden box tightly wrapped in thick oil paper from his sleeve to the palm of his hand, bit his fingertips, and dripped blood on the thick oil paper on the one hand, and on the other hand, he dripped the blood on Wei Gongziqing's left arm, and recited Ning Chuan's mantra very quickly.

Then, I saw a faint red smoke suddenly rise from his palm. When the smoke cleared, the wooden box and thick oiled paper that were still in his palm were gone, and only a golden cicada chrysalis the size of a thumb appeared.

The cicada chrysalis was short and round, fat and large, as if it was dead, and it wilted without moving a dozen pairs of black thin feet in the palm of Feng Qianlou.

Seeing this, Feng Qianlou's cold expression was warm, and he stretched out his fingertips, which were still dripping with blood, and gently rubbed the cicada chrysalis's head. After a while, he smiled secretly and lowered his head and let out a cool breath at it. Immediately afterwards, I saw that the cicada chrysalis, which was still in a paralyzed state, moved slightly, and in a moment, it had turned into a golden thread, and it quickly burrowed into Gongziqing's nostrils.

Since his last illness, King Zhou's health has been poor, so he has even more of a desire to seek immortals. The first is to strictly enforce the ban on slaughter, and no meat is allowed to be eaten in the territory of the Zhou State. The second is that the Taoist priest of Guangzhao entered the palace, and through various secret methods, he collected the pure spiritual qi in the void and smelted the elixir in order to achieve immortality. And because of the inconvenience of Zhou Wanglong's body, he ordered his son Zhan to enter the palace to live permanently, and prayed to the Great Dao Tianzun on his behalf, practiced fasting and precepts, crowned the road, and built Danbao.

In the harem, pavilions, rockeries, ponds, and marshes. The Taoist platform built by the king of Zhou with heavy gold is in it, looking at it from afar, it is splendid, and the banner and treasure cover are displayed in the wind.

At that time, Gongzi Zhan knelt expressionlessly on the side of the furnace, moving his hands from time to time, adjusting the heat according to the changes of the hexagram.

But suddenly, there was the sound of eager footsteps in the corridor. He looked up, and saw that the temple people were running from the corridor in small steps, and when they saw that there was no one left and right, they came to him, so they swallowed their saliva, and said cautiously and eagerly, "Your Highness, there was a big incident in the previous dynasty, and now the second highness led a grass people to go to the court, and the road is a great drought in Pengze County, and the county guard Lu Kui and Gongzi Heng are in the same place, and the people are locked up in the same place, and they do not report it, and now, Peng Ze has been hungry for a long time."

As soon as the temple people's words fell, Gongzi Zhan's expression also moved, he raised his eyes in surprise, stared at the sweaty temple people calmly, frowned and said, "Peng Ze drought" Saying, he sneered, dyed with a little anger, and snorted in a deep voice, "The eyeliner placed in Peng Ze County in this hall is dead, why didn't the slightest news come out, but asked Zhou Musheng to take the lead"

Gongzi Zhan's words rang out, and the temple people felt a burst of coercion rushing towards him, which made him tremble, and he hurriedly knelt down and replied, "Your Highness Lu Kui and Gongzi Heng closed the city and locked the people, so Mo Dao is a person, but even the birds and birds in the sky can't fly like this, this news is difficult to pass on This time, Second Highness, it's just that the blind cat touched the dead mouse and happened to let him catch the fleeing homeless."

As he spoke, he remembered Xie Xun's entrustment again, and hurriedly said in a low voice, "Your Highness, do we need to take the opportunity to act and give the Second Highness some color to see?"

"Take advantage of the opportunity" Hearing this, the corners of Gongzi Zhan's mouth pulled, and suddenly a smile appeared, he casually threw the silk sieve in his palm and threw it on the ground, staring at the translucent skylight, pouting and saying, "Zhou Heng, that dog thing, he is a fool, he lifted him up, and the stinky basket he poked is not involved."

"Your Highnesses"

The fish got into the net by itself, and sat back and waited for the net to be closed. Besides, now the mess in Pengze County always needs someone to clean it up," he said, and the old god raised his hand on the ground, and adjusted the heat of the furnace according to the hexagram, all of which were watching from the wall.

On the other hand, compared with Gongzi Zhan's leisurely and leisurely on the platform, the situation above the court is quite urgent and oppressive, which can be said to be the fear of danger in the government and the opposition, and the inside and outside are solemn.

I saw Gongzi Heng kneeling at the feet of King Zhou and kowtowing to apologize, his face was pale, and his voice was full of irrepressible anxiety.

On the side, Gongzi Musheng's face was as cold as frost. He stared directly at the king of Zhou, who was staring at him with complicated eyes, straightened his waist, and continued in the silence of the ministers, neither humble nor arrogant, "Now there is a great drought in Pengze, and the disaster is unpredictable, but it is bitter cold in winter, that is, the border pass has marched to the army and the people, and the warehouses of the counties are still limited, I am afraid that I can't wait for this autumn's harvest, so I can't help it, but now because of the ban on slaughter, livestock must not be slaughtered, fish and shrimp must not be caught, if the storage is not guaranteed, I am afraid that if I am not careful, the famine disaster can be extended to my Zhou Zhong County" The words stopped here, Gongzi Mu Shengmei
