The sky was covered with thick clouds, and the howling wind blew the snow down, Pei Ziyun rode a horse and galloped all the way, in front of him was Xiting County, galloped for thirty miles, and entered the county seat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, it was noon, the snow was heavy, the population was sparse, and I went straight to the county office, and saw that the yamen was closed, and there was a thick layer of snow on the bluestone steps in front of the door.

Pei Ziyun jumped off the horse, saw the drums in the gate, pushed open the gate and went in, beat it, and the sound of "dong dong dong" immediately sounded.

At this time, it was almost close to the New Year, and the county order discussed with people in the afternoon about the New Year's affairs, and returned to the government to drink, and before he finished resting, he listened to the drums and rain sounding, so he had to open the door and go out, and he was very unhappy in his heart, and secretly scolded: "Whoever beats the drum must be punished for a crime." ”

At this time, someone from the county government had already opened the gate and came out, rubbing their hands and drinking: "It's so cold in this snow, who came to report the case?"

"I am the current Yingzhou Xie Yuan, I was ordered by the governor to accompany the governor's envoy to the imperial court, I don't want to be assassinated by thieves, and Liao Ge is being killed, I am here to report the case. Pei Ziyun said coldly.

"What? An official was killed?" the official was startled, and hurriedly turned around and went in to announce, and after a while, he led Pei Ziyun into the county government and entered the county office.

The county magistrate of the West Hall sat in the high hall at this time, rubbing his hands and feet, his nose was red from the cold, and he said: "The hall is Pei Xie Yuan, who will explain the matter in detail." ”

Pei Ziyun presented the official document and explained the matter in detail, listening to the fact that more than 20 people died in a row, and the people in the hall were full of horror, this is a big case.

"Xie Yuan, please take us quickly, this matter is troublesome!" the county commander said in fear.

The county order, several headhunters, and dozens of officials rushed to the ferry together.

When I arrived at the reed field, I saw corpses all over the ground, covered with snow, all frightened, the county magistrate had just turned fifty years old this year, and his demeanor was dignified, but his face was blue at this time: "Check every corpse and record the pictures and texts." ”

Pei Ziyun went all the way, the horses on the ground and the corpses of six people were gone, so he snorted coldly, if there are still people behind these people, fortunately he escaped quickly, and now they are all people from the government, and they don't dare to attack.

"Please also ask Xie Yuangong to stay for a few days!" the county magistrate said with a bitter face, this matter is a disaster from heaven for him, this matter is within his jurisdiction, even if it is not his responsibility, a middle and lower comment cannot be avoided.

But the person in front of him is Xie Yuan, and in fact, if it was a civilian, or even a showman, he would have taken it a long time ago.

"It should be like this!" Pei Ziyun smiled slightly, and entered the county seat with the county order, the winter days were short, and it was getting dark at this time.

After a long time as an official, the county order regained some color at this time, and smiled: "Xie Yuangong, I have heard your name for a long time, I am fortunate today, please let me do my best as a landlord." ”

The county order also figured it out, Pei Ziyun can't be blamed for this, and Pei Ziyun can't be blamed, since he has nothing to do, so why be a rival?

It's better to get a good relationship and introduce a small hall at the moment.

There was already a small banquet in the small hall, and a hot pot was boiling with white smoke, Pei Ziyun couldn't help but smile: "It turned out to be an antique soup, and it was cold at night, this is the best." ”

Hot pot, known as antique soup in ancient times, existed during the Warring States period, with clay pots as pots, to the Song Dynasty, hot pot has been common in the folk, and the hot pot in the Qing Dynasty is not only popular among the people, but also has become a court dish.

The world is similar, hot pot is in the hall of elegance, and the most important thing is convenience.

The county commander smiled: "That is, it is cold at night, and there is no time to prepare, and it is cold fast when you are prepared, so I am on this pot." ”

Saying that, a maid came over, spices, ginger, garlic, sugar, vinegar according to the proportion, and sprinkled the rice wine into it, suddenly, the aroma of meat, wine, vegetables rose, and there were belly slices, meat slices, meatballs and other materials around, and steamed buns, spring rolls, and dim sum.

"Where is the county!" Pei Ziyun smiled: "The sumptuous banquet is already satisfied." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the wine jug on the table, served wine for the county order, and smelled it: "Mellow fragrance!"

"It's home-brewed. With Pei Ziyun's approval, the county magistrate said happily: "Let's use it together!"

Speaking of reality, Pei Ziyun was hungry for a long time, and he devoured it at the moment, and the county order was also very attentive, and he also poured Pei Ziyun a glass of wine, and a few glasses before he said: "Xie Yuangong has a new work?

"I wrote a university collection of notes, and I used up a few years of literary thoughts, and this article was gone for a while, but there was another poem, which I wrote when I crossed the river. ”

Pei Ziyun smiled, just now when he killed people, he still read the scenery of the northern country, and now of course he doesn't even dare to divulge a word - this kind of poem was not written by the emperor or the emperor's reserve in ancient times, and it must be killed, so he chanted at the moment:

"Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear.

Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow. ”

This is Liu Zongyuan's landscape poem, the original intention is to express his depression and grief of being degraded, just four sentences, immediately rendered a desolate and lonely realm, although not directly use "snow", but listening to the poem seems to see the overwhelming snow, has felt the cold and pressing.

When he arrived at Pei Ziyun, there was a heavy realm, and the county magistrate listened to this person's words trembling, and there was the sound of gold and stone, and suddenly remembered more than 20 horizontal corpses, many of which were killed by this person, and immediately thought to himself: "Good realm, good murder!"

With trembling in his heart, the county magistrate raised the cup and said: "Good poem - with this wine for a thousand cups, don't get drunk, dry!"

At the end of the banquet, the county ordered someone to clean up the room early and invited Pei Ziyun to get together for one night.

In fact, it's not okay at all, the house is warm, the quilt is soft, and it is comfortable to lie down, Pei Ziyun is very tired, but he can't sleep for a while, thinking about it......

"The people who attacked and killed themselves, the first group were the so-called warriors of the people, and the latter group must be soldiers. ”

"Strange, although my trip is not too secret, but the route and time of my trip, but a secret thing, I deliberately set off secretly, there are no satellites here, who can block us with such a quick response?"

In fact, the answer is not difficult to guess, Pei Ziyun sighed secretly, got up in his clothes, and slowly paced in front of the bed, the fire in the charcoal basin was still burning, and finally no longer hesitated, checking his belongings.

"Soft armor, nothing. ”

"Magic sword, nothing. ”

"This is ......" flipped out the package and groped up, suddenly touched one, when he left, he didn't remember it, and when he pulled it out, his face was cold, it was a Taoist talisman.

Pei Ziyun's eyes were gloomy, with murderous intent, but he didn't expect that someone was hiding the Dao talisman in his underwear, and Pei Ziyun knew that this talisman was the traction talisman, which could be located, but he was furious.

"Who's going to do it to me?"

"Could it be?" Thinking of the source, Pei Ziyun's eyes were gloomy, and he suddenly sneered: "That's it, how can anyone else, it must be you, Song Zhi." ”

"Hey, look, it can only exist for ten days?"

"Then it's useless for me to take it back, and I can't go back now. ”

"But am I the one who has been bullied and can't fight back? Let me think, how can I fight back?"

"Hmph, I'll stay in the county for three days to let you catch up, and at the same time, let me prepare and surprise you. ”

Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun suddenly showed a smile.

There was nothing to say that night, and on the third day, Pei Ziyun continued to go to Beijing with the official document, and resigned from the county order, saying that he met for a few days, and the county order was really surprised by Pei Ziyun's talent, and he also sent twenty or two Cheng Yi.

Mountain Temple

There was a clearing on a hillside, a place of earth and rock, not much wood, and in the middle of the clearing sat a ruined temple.

It may be in disrepair, the walls of the broken temple appear a little mottled, with a cold wind blowing in, and there is a plaque at the main entrance, which reads the words "Mountain Temple".

Pei Ziyun arrived in front of the shrine, lit incense on the fire, and sensed it, only then did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief: "There are no gods in this temple, or you can't choose here." ”

There are gods in this world, there are miracles in this temple, Pei Ziyun will not choose here, there are no scruples, Pei Ziyun swept coldly, this broken temple is spacious in front, and the back is against the mountain, it is a good place to set up an ambush, you can check the enemy in front, and you can escape into the mountains and forests in the back, if you don't come, it's okay, if you come, you will definitely make these people suffer a big loss, that is, sneering, since groping for the Dao charm, I have an idea, and I will light the bonfire.

I was calculated like this, how can I not retaliate, this talisman can leak the position, and how can I not lure the enemy to set up an ambush, tonight to see if there is a thief coming, coming, how can you live in peace without killing a few people?

At the moment, he smiled and took out the water bladder from behind the horse, the water bladder was very large and heavy, and the county order also asked, Pei Ziyun also smiled: "This is to bring wine, the weather is cold, and there is wine on the road to warm your body." ”

The county order really believed it.

At this time, Pei Ziyun carefully splashed the wood, door, and other places that were easy to catch fire with a water bladder, and secretly sneered: "My fire oil has tormented me for several days, and all I secretly stole is the best grade." ”

"I have also preliminarily practiced with the Dao method, ensuring that one point is enough, and a fire will form in a short time. ”

After the preparations were completed, Pei Ziyun restrained his sneer, revealing a scared look, the last time he was on the reed beach, he was really careless, and he didn't want these people to be so bold that he directly lured the warriors of the rivers and lakes who had a grudge against the Japanese to kill the officials.

"Hmph, but it's still unprofessional to attack, if the woman in the first wave cooperates with the continuous attack, I'm afraid I may not be able to escape. "It's chilling to think about it.

At this time, the sword leaned on the pillar of the broken temple, secretly breathing, I don't know how long, there was a sound outside the sudden.

Pei Ziyun was startled, and then sneaked to the door, and when he looked, he saw dozens of figures, and secretly said: "These thieves have learned a lesson." ”

"Originally, the warriors of Reed Beach were a rabble, and although the cavalry behind was elite, the number was too small, and I was defeated one by one. ”

"This time, depending on the situation, there are no less than thirty people, and judging by the way they sneaked over, they all have a clear division of labor and are well-trained, and they are obviously ready to annihilate me in one fell swoop. ”

"And in all fairness, if it weren't for this battlefield, in any place, my current martial arts and Dao Fa would hardly be spared. ”

Secretly glad in his heart, he took something from himself and threw it into the incense burner, then turned and dived towards the back of the courtyard, and before these people were completely close, he jumped out behind the courtyard, and then hid behind a wooden stone, and looked at the path.
