"Huh?"

Hu Ling was stunned for a moment when he heard Cheng Hao say this, and then looked around, and then understood what Cheng Hao meant.

Indeed, it is impossible for Cheng Hao and Liu Xiangjiu to protect him all the time, as long as he leaves tomorrow and comes back, he is afraid that he will be remembered, not to mention that the cake cannot be saved, even if his life is lost!

"Eat, you eat yourself. Cheng Hao patted Hu Ling on the shoulder, he admired this filial young man.

No, Cheng Hao also understands the truth of his guilt.

Seeing that Hu Ling was still hesitating, Cheng Hao lowered his voice and said, "Ming (rì) I will secretly give you a few more when you leave, and you can take it home to be filial to your parents." ”

Only then did Hu Ling smile again, open his mouth and nibble on the cake.

It can be seen that this young man has a good tutor, although he is very hungry and embarrassed, he still purses his mouth when he eats, and he does not make a chewing sound.

This made Cheng Hao look slightly surprised, seeing the young man biting the baked cake in small bites, with a smile on his face that was about to overflow with happiness, Cheng Hao handed him the kettle next to (shēn) and said, "Drink some water." ”

Seeing that Hu Ling finished eating, Cheng Hao said: "Hu Ling, I have something (qíng) that I want to ask you." ”

"Brother Chu, you say!" Hu Ling immediately answered, and sure enough, he ate people's soft mouths and short hands.

Cheng Hao said: "I don't think you look like an ordinary child eating like an ordinary person, what did your family do before?"

Hu Ling was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Brother Chu, I won't hide it from you, my family was actually an official of this Xuangu Pass before, and the ancestor of the family was (tǐng) 掾 on the Xuangu Pass at that time." ”

"Oh, (tǐng) 掾.

Cheng Hao nodded slightly.

He has already had a duan (rì) son when he came to this life, and he is naturally very clear about the official position of the Longteng Empire, this (tǐng) 掾 or cannot be called an official, in fact, it should be regarded as one of the officials.

It is mainly responsible for coordinating rural affairs, and the power in his hands is not small at the local level.

"Then what happened later, how did you end up like this?" Cheng Hao asked his doubts.

Hu Ling sighed and said, "Isn't it a god-killing disaster!"

As soon as the word "military disaster" came out, the surrounding merchants were all trembling, and even Liu Xiangjiu, the shopkeeper, changed his complexion, and scolded on the counter: "Hu Ling! take care of your mouth, Mo Hu said, be careful of the trouble coming out of your mouth!"

Hu Ling didn't dare to say anything when he heard Liu Xiangjiu's scolding, but Cheng Hao glanced at the shopkeeper, Liu Xiangjiu was not afraid, and he also looked at him.

Suddenly, I saw Cheng Hao's wrist flip, and an object flew out of his hand and went straight to Liu Xiangjiu.

Liu Xiangjiu was shocked, and shouted in his heart: "It's over, it's over! I shouldn't have confronted him face to face, so I'll die!"

It's just that he screamed in his heart, but it didn't hurt on (shēn), and when he opened his eyes, he reached out and groped on himself (shēn) a few times, but he didn't see any injuries?

Looking at him again, he didn't know when there was a small piece of broken silver on the counter! The weight was full and the color was good, obviously this was what Cheng Hao threw at him just now!

If you are a businessman, there is no one who does not have money, Liu Xiangjiu suddenly changed his face when he saw the silver, and he quickly used his sleeve to wrap the silver, and then said nothing.

The meaning is very clear, since he received the money, then he naturally won't talk too much.

Cheng Hao is satisfied

Nodding, he beckoned Hu Ling to sit down in the corner of the wall, and then whispered: "Let's talk quietly, don't let them listen, there will be no trouble." ”

Hu Ling nodded, he was a young man (xìng), (xìng) was simple, but he knew that Cheng Hao was good to him, so he couldn't wait to dig out his heart and lungs, and he was very simple.

Cheng Hao said: "Tell me about the military disaster." ”

Hu Ling hesitated slightly, but gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Chu, I'll tell you, but don't say that I said it when you go out." ”

Seeing Cheng Hao smiling and nodding, he said: "The actual matter (qíng) is in the Sili Governor's Mansion and the Pacification Division!"

"Tell me about it. Cheng Hao was also interested, leaning against the wall and listening to Hu Ling's narration.

It turns out that this Sili Province was originally very peaceful, after all, it guarded Youyunjing, even if the rest of the Longteng Empire was chaotic (tào), Sili Province was still stable, and it was controlled by Youyunjing.

It's just bad that the previous emperor's majesty made a stupid move, although Sili Province is still under royal control, but His Majesty the emperor is still afraid that one day Sili Province will get out of control, so he set up a yamen called the pacification department, the purpose is to share power with the Sili Governor's Office.

In fact, the emperor's worries are not completely unreasonable, and the military and political affairs of the Governor's Mansion are grasped, and the power is really too great.

But the question is, now that the empire has collapsed and the hearts of the people are moving (dàng), how can the emperor control the pacification division?

So in the end, not only did it fail to stabilize the Sili Province, but instead it became a confrontation between the Pacification Division and the Governor's Mansion, and even attacked each other, which made a mess of the originally prosperous Sili Province

Stalemate.

Cheng Hao shook his head and sighed when he heard this: "Then those homeless people outside came to this Xuankou Pass because of this?"

"Not really. Hu Ling shook his head: "I met a lot of displaced people along the way, many of them have (cāo) accents from other places, obviously they are not from our Sili Province in the first place, I think they are also disaster victims who have fled from other places." ”

Cheng Hao was silent.

Yes, although this natural disaster is terrifying, it is far from being compared, especially the military disaster.

Out-of-control soldiers are definitely a nightmare for the people, and as long as there is a war, there will definitely be routs and routs.

As long as you catch up with the military disaster, then there is only one way to escape, otherwise you will wait for the whole village to die.

Cheng Hao didn't feel good when he heard the boss, but he had nothing to do, he was still too weak now, and he had long lost the power that commanded the world back then.

Besides, even if he sneaked into the pacification department or the governor's mansion with his own hidden way and quietly eliminated one party, this terrible military disaster still could not end.

Youyunjing doesn't know how to watch it, and if you can't figure out the Qili Emperor Yao Guangyu, who is known as smart and benevolent, in Youyunjing, he just wants to watch the two major factions in Sili Province kill each other, otherwise it will be difficult for them to keep their Youyunjing safe.

But this department is under the governor...... It seems to be Qiu Shuisheng's grandfather Qiu Zhankui, he heard Qiu Shuisheng mention this matter (qíng) once, and he wants the lake to go over and see?

Forget it.

Cheng Hao finally shook his head and denied his idea.

After a pause, Cheng Hao asked again: "So this Xuangu Pass belongs to that end?"
