The Qianyuan Dynasty divided the world into Kyushu, among which the top number of Yongzhou is the widest, the state includes five counties, and there are only two counties in the narrowest state of Lingzhou in the extreme west.

Under the state, there are four types of cities: county, city, prefecture and county, with a county containing several cities, a city governing several prefectures, and a prefecture leading the counties.

After the scholar ascended to the department, the Zhongshu Province decided, the official department appointed and dismissed the official position of the hand-picked scholar, and the scholar who was really vacant in the office needed to register in the official department, receive the seal letter required to take office, and go to the post after the arrival of the local city god temple to fast and burn incense, and worship the heaven and earth city god, and then became the parent official of this prefecture and a county.

A local official like this can do a three-grade assassination history, take charge of a county, and change into a peacock complement in the official uniform is the end, if there is no intricate relationship between the court and the central government, there is basically no hope of promotion. If you are born in the Mendi clan, you may also be recalled to the imperial city to join the six departments or send a state festival envoy, and you can be regarded as a feudal official in charge of a state.

Linzhou Jiedu Yamen.

Linzhou Jiedu made Zhao Ji look at the urgent report on the public case, and Lian Tianlu, who was in charge of the Linzhou military strategy, learned that the sword mound temple that reached the heavens had suddenly changed, and hurriedly came.

Lian Tianlu is a rude man with a leopard head and ring-eyed swallow-jawed tiger whiskers, dressed in a second-grade military general's uniform, and scolded: "Damn, these Jianghu warriors are less and less concerned about the dynasty's military forces, and in the past 20 years, the emperor has issued three holy decrees, and idle people are not allowed to enter the Sword Mound Temple, and those who enter the temple are beheaded, and now what about those monks who treat the holy decree as bullshit, and they also allow the surrounding people to go to the incense and worship on weekdays." ”

Jiedu made Zhao Yan a weak scholar, shook his head with a calm face and said: "Now that the surrounding beacon fire is rising, the northern army has come to Tianmen Pass, the big gold tiger is eyeing it, and small countries such as Anqi in South Vietnam also dare to disturb our frontier, and there is an extreme shortage of soldiers in the country, and it is not surprising that these Jianghu warriors are making waves." ”

"Really fucking annoyed, these gang of miscellaneous people, they can't be beaten, they can't be caught, so they are allowed to make waves every day?" Lian Tianlu said, hammering his fist on the public case in front of him, extremely annoyed, and said: "Killing people and setting fires in all dynasties is a sin of losing heads, right? ”

"I don't have time to think about these now, the magic sword has been seized, and it is difficult to recapture it with the soldiers in the state, and it is inevitable that there will be a monstrous anger when I report it to the heavens. Zhao Yan rubbed his forehead and said with a headache: "The dynasty is no less angry with these warriors than you and me, according to the current situation, all states in the world are rectifying the army and horses and recruiting soldiers, and when the border is more stable, it will almost change." ”

Saibei Xiongzhou.

Since the heavy snow a few days ago, the winter of Xiongzhou is officially kicked off, Xiongzhou is located in the north of the Saibei, different from the south of the gentle Jiangnan, this bitter cold place as long as the frost falls, is the endless winter, endless snow.

In the cold winter of Xiongzhou, the people seem to even go out is a difficult thing, the cold winter can not trap people's hearts, although the heavy snow is filled, everything in the north of Xiongzhou is covered with snow, but the Xiongzhou people who are happy in the bitterness have their own way to have fun.

Since the first emperor, the people of Xiongzhou who are located in the bitter cold land have more fun life, at the beginning, the people of Xiongzhou like to cook, in the autumn to take some seasonal dishes that can be stored in the winter, to the time when the snow covers the grass and trees are not born, take all kinds of dishes to cook together, it seems to be chaotic, but all kinds of flavors are poured into it to enjoy the inexhaustible taste of delicacies.

Later, the taste of chaotic cooking can not satisfy the appetite, then some people use brass casting to cover the conical Ding furnace, put charcoal fire under the furnace, bamboo and wood charcoal are burned red to release the scorching heat, roast the copper pot, the copper pot is heated and boiling, the diners will put the fresh beef and mutton in it, three or five breath time, the meat that was originally cut very thin is scalded, dipped in some secret sauce, swallow the lower abdomen while it is cooked and tender, the heat fills the body, the rising heat will drive away the loneliness brought by the cold, and countless happy lives in this cold winter and snow.

There are shops in Xiongzhou City that focus on this, and the copper pot soup base is added to the thick soup, and the scalded meat is delicious.

Originally, the cooking pot restaurant with a good business in winter, this year's business is extremely bleak, all this is because of the war outside the Tianmen Pass, the original millions of Xiongzhou people are gone, and the rest are some old and young people who also want to desperately escape from this land of right and wrong but are helpless, originally every year in the store where diners are endless, only two teenagers sit opposite each other and drink, and the heat of the charcoal fire rises in front of them.

Since the crazy master Ji Rong broke through the sky that day, Chen Changge also wondered in his heart, in the past fifteen years, in his eyes, the two masters were just white-clothed scholars and crazy monks, and now he didn't expect that both of them had the ability to penetrate the sky.

These days have been in the broken temple to understand the white-clothed master brought the "Shen Helu", "Shen Helu" is not marksmanship, is a kind of heart experience, experience people and heaven and earth or understand people and the avenue, it is not obscure, but every sentence is extremely profound, the sword is the king of soldiers, do not seek to see the mountains and small, but seek to immerse one, the higher one is higher.

Throughout the ages, it has been just a reckless and strong man who has been a handsome thing in his hands, but it is not necessarily the case, since ancient times, there are not a few martial artists who have pursued the royal road of a hundred soldiers, just because the marksmanship is difficult to understand, and the gun intent is even more profound, and some martial artists are extremely difficult to even get started, let alone keep improving.

In those days, the crazy master didn't know where to take out a copy of the "Xiaoyan Gun Dictionary" and just turned a few pages, and was taken away by the white-clothed master, saying that this book was too profound and not easy to read more, resulting in only "Doom Decision" and "Participation Record" as his companion all day long, but Chen Changge felt that all the things said in "Participation Record" were similar to "Xiaoyan Gun Dictionary" The first few styles are very compatible, just take the five levels of anger killing with the deepest memory in the first few styles, the gunner, don't you pay attention to an unstoppable one, if you are afraid of the head and the tail, you are afraid of the east and the west, and practice a ball of the gun, go home and embroider it, these days it is rare to have leisure This is not pulled out by my friend Liu Yuanshan to eat a charcoal pot that is only available in winter.

Liu Yuanshan picked up a chopstick of fatty mutton from the copper pot in front of him, dipped it in the emerald green leeks and swallowed it in his mouth while it was hot, chewed and swallowed it into his stomach, and when everything was cold, he ate a mouthful of warm mutton The indescribable joy of the world, the young man exhaled a long breath of heat.

The white-clothed young man sitting opposite was not so elegant, looking at the goose feathers and snow outside the door, he couldn't help but sigh leisurely.

Liu Yuanshan looked at his friend's sad face, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's been more than a month from late autumn to early winter, right?" Chen Changge drank a glass of warm rice wine, his expression stunned.

Liu Yuanshan, who had been living a happy life, said with a somewhat gloomy expression when he heard this: "It's been almost two months, and Tianmen Pass is still in flames, and most of the people of Xiongzhou have run away. ”

In two months, Chengjitang became a guest of honor in Xiangfu. Chen Changge's eyes swept the door, and the chief housekeeper of the Xiang Mansion was walking briskly in the snow with a white-haired gentleman, this gentleman was from Chengjitang, and he was the most famous doctor in Xiongzhou City.

Xiang An, the chief housekeeper of Xiangfu, helped this old gentleman with frosty hair to walk quickly in the snow, looking anxious, and it was rumored on the streets of Xiongzhou that the old man of the Xiang family was seriously ill and in danger, and in this month and a month, doctors of all sizes in Xiongzhou City stepped through the threshold of Xiangfu.

Liu Yuanshan said indignantly: "Tiancheng, this kid, just leave, without any notice, the night before they were still pushing the cup together to change the lamp, and the next day I went to find him and couldn't find him." ”

Chen Changge said lightly: "Over the years, Tiancheng has always thought about protecting the land and security for the country and the people, and you have never cared who you can complain about?"

"But also, who knew that this kid had made such a big decision, so many industries in Xiongzhou City said no, he didn't want it, and went to Tianmen Pass to join the army. Liu Yuanshan thought about Xiang Tiancheng, and his expression was gloomy.

"Bitter old man. ”

-

Xiang Mansion everyone is busy these days, since the young master left a book and ran away, the old man was in a hurry, originally just an ordinary depression, sent three or four waves of family servants to Tianmen Pass to inquire about the young master's news, only heard that he knew that the young master went to the recruiting yamen, and then he couldn't go, and caught up with the north army outside the Tianmen Pass to attack the city, and the soldiers on both sides were killed and injured countless times, the old man learned the news and couldn't afford to get sick, and vomited three mouthfuls of blood that night, unconscious.

Mrs. Xiang died early, the little boy said goodbye, the old man was sick, and for a time everything was on the big housekeeper Xiang An, after the little boy left home, the big housekeeper Xiang An told all the slaves in the family not to say that the little boy was not at home, and he couldn't say anything to the shopkeeper under his name, so the slaves at home were obedient, and now the old family owner is only known on the streets of Xiongzhou is old and sick.

The old master's illness is getting worse and worse, and the doctors of all sizes in Xiongzhou City have been invited, and the gentleman with low medical skills is helpless, Wu Langzhong of Chengjitang said that the old family master is sick with heart disease, and he still needs heart medicine, Xiang An knows what is going on with the heart medicine, but where to find this heart medicine?

Xiang An's mind is heavy, he entered Xiang Mansion at the age of sixteen, when Xiang Mansion was still an ordinary rich family, over the years the old family owner and the deceased mother of Xiang An rebuilt, but now in the moment of crisis Xiang An can not help at all, Xiang Anxin regretted it, just bid farewell to Wu Langzhong, the little doorman Xiang Quan rushed over, saying that Chen and Liu, who were good friends with the little boy, came to see the master.

Xiang Anxin moved, can you let the two sons bring some news that the little sons are well, with this kind of heart medicine, the old master will be able to cheer up a little, if you go to the old master like this, I am afraid that time is running out. Seeing that the old master was seriously ill, Xiang An didn't have time to tell the two sons in person, so he had to ask the doorman Xiang An to tell the two sons, both of whom were smart people, and most of their intentions were understood, so he turned back to the back hall and told the master.

The big housekeeper Xiang An just walked into the backyard, and the big maid who served the master, Zhulan, came out of the old man's room, holding a brass spittoon in her arms, the blood stains on the spittoon were vague, and the pear blossoms on Zhulan's face were raining, and when she saw the housekeeper Xiang An's tears, she couldn't stop her tears anymore, and said in a crying voice:

"Butler, the master vomited blood again. ”

When the chief housekeeper Xiang An heard this, his face turned pale as if he had been struck by lightning, and he didn't care about the etiquette of the master and servant, so he ran into the bedroom quickly.
