On the spring equinox of the third year of Yuanyou, Cheng Minzhong of Xiping County has been eating and living on the ground for three consecutive days. The so-called spring equinox wheat rises, a moment is worth a thousand gold, the spring equinox wheat sprouts, farmers should rush to do farm work, to ensure that the wheat survives. Xiping County has little rain in spring this year, although the county order has been built by craftsmen last winter to help farmers get water for reclamation, but he himself has always been a hand-shaken shopkeeper who ignores everything, for the harvest of the people of Xiping County this year, Min Zhong also had to personally go out to keep an eye on the point.

By the time Min Zhong had organized people to draw water from the rainbow for irrigation, it was almost noon. Yu Lichang, the chief of the village, personally brought the meal to Min Zhong. "My lord is working hard, let's eat first."

Min Zhong was really hungry after a busy morning, so he thanked him immediately, took the meal and chewed it according to the case.

Yu Lichang sat aside until Min Zhong gradually slowed down halfway through the meal, and then said: "My lord, how can the siphon make the sons and daughters in the village understand, and the villains will arrange for the sons and daughters to take turns to do the farm work in the next few days." The adults are busy with official business, and the soil in this field is large, so the adults should go back early. ”

Min Zhong put down the dishes and chopsticks, nodded and said, "Since you have all learned, the rest will be handed over to the chief." The official will leave for the neighboring village in a moment. ”

Seeing Min Zhong standing up, Yu Lichang hurriedly stepped forward and patted the dust on his body. "With this siphon, everyone will not have to worry about spring ploughing and irrigation, thanks to the county lords! I don't know if the county lord and his old man have been okay in recent days? ”

Min Zhong looked down at Yu Li's long head of white hair, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and said coldly: "It's good, it's good!" "Every day, I either drink and have fun with Qiao Feng or quarrel with Qiao Feng, and all official business is either thrown to him or Zhang Wenjie, how can I be okay?

However, although Min Zhong has a lot of slander against the lazy county order, in the hearts of the people of Xiping, their parents and officials have always been immortal figures. Hearing that Min Zhong replied, "One qiē is good", Yu Lichang was obviously relieved, and said happily: "We Xiping have always been poor, and we have wronged the county lords...... I also asked Lord Min to tell the county lord that now that there is a siphon, the village will never dare to delay this year's tax, and he will definitely make the county lord have a long face! ”

Min Zhong was in a complicated mood, and he really didn't want to talk, so he had to look into the distance. After a while, he saw Li Yajun hurrying towards him with a knife on his shoulder.

Li Yashi was immediately relieved when he saw Min Zhong, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Lord County, many people from Huangshui want to defect to our Xiping County. The adults said that God has the virtue of a good life, and asked Lord Min to go back and settle it quickly. ”

When Min Zhong heard this, he was immediately furious. "The farm warehouse was handed over to me, and the criminal name was given to Zhang Wenjie, what are you doing?"

Li Yashi rubbed his hands with a smile, stepped forward and whispered in Min Zhong's ear: "My lord and Qiao Zhuangshi quarreled again, and they haven't spoken for two whole days." When the villain set off to find Lord Min, Qiao Zhuangshi was packing his luggage to leave, and everyone was now persuading the adult. Min-sama, what do you see? ”

Min Zhong looked up to the sky and sighed, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go back!" ”

As soon as Min Zhong and Li Yashi left, several farmers who were also resting in the pergola surrounded Yu Lichang and asked in a gossipy: "Lichang, there are fugitives over there in Huangshui?" ”

Yu Lichang only listened to a few words, and he didn't know anything about the specific details. But when he saw the villagers coming to ask, he still made a look of concern for the country and the people, and replied calmly: "There is little rain this year, and I am afraid that it will not be easy on the Huangshui side, and it is common for people to come to vote." ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid to come and divide our fields." Some villagers said worriedly, "If you want me to say, they are all aliens, and adults are kind-hearted!" ”

Unexpectedly, his voice fell, and before he could reply, someone had already spoken out to defend their parents. "Old Wangtou, what are you talking about? If it weren't for the kindness of adults, could we have you and me today? Besides, the adults have already said that although the fugitives from Huangshui are dressed as aliens, in the final analysis, they are still the sons of our Han family and the white-haired Danxin. They can't live anymore, shouldn't we help one or two? ”

The scolded old king also knew that he was at a loss, so he shrank his head, and only whispered after a while: "These people are still the people of Xia Kingdom and Tubo, and now that the adults have taken them in, they are afraid of getting into trouble!" ”

"What are you afraid of?" Before the old king's voice fell, there were villagers again. "Who can be more ruthless than us?"

"That's it, that's it! Think about that old monster of the stars, how arrogant he was before the adults came......"

"yes...... The result was in the main hall of the government office...... That head......"

"It's a rotten watermelon with one palm, red and white...... Gee! It's been so long, and I'm still scared when I think about it! ”

"Huh? You say, our adults are obviously like the gods in the sky, why are they so dark? I heard that on the other side of the Sea of Stars, none of the disciples and grandchildren of the old monster of the stars survived...... At night, the wind is gusting, the ghosts are crying and the wolves are howling, and the ghosts are not gone, and it is miserable......"

Seeing that in this sunny weather, the more everyone talked, the more cold they felt, Yu Lichang hurriedly coughed twice and said loudly: "Okay! What can you say about the gossip of adults? Do you dare to injustice the old monster of the stars? I don't know what to do! Why don't you get to work? The adults built the siphon, I don't know how much manpower we saved, if you miss the agricultural time and shorten the tax, don't blame the old man for not saving face for him! ”

Yu Lichang has served as the lieutenant governor for many years and is known for his prestige. As soon as he spoke, the villagers didn't dare to say more, and they immediately dispersed.

Min Zhong and Li Yashi hurried back to the county office, and before they could ask why Murong Fu had an argument with Qiao Feng again, they saw the groom leading a few military horses to the stable. Seeing this, Min Zhong asked, "But the Western Army's Master Dao has arrived?" ”

"Exactly, when the villain leaves, the adult is persuading. Why don't you persuade Master Min too? Li Yashi said tentatively.

Min Zhongpi smiled and said "hehe" twice, and turned his head to see the escapees from the water. In Min Zhong's eyes, Murong Fu and Qiao Feng are simply a pair of enemies, and there is always a fight between the two ends in three days. Every time, either Murong Fu retreated or Qiao Feng ran away, but in the end, no matter who was right or wrong, Qiao Feng always gave in first. Min Zhong was used to seeing it for a long time, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it at all.

In contrast, the Dao of the Seed Master is not as open-minded as Min Zhong. He hadn't even taken a sip of water for a while, so he had to stop Qiao Feng, who was packing his luggage and was about to run away from home. Then, Murong Fu was placed in the inner room and Qiao Feng was placed in the outer room, and he himself sat down on the threshold, and said helplessly: "What are you arguing about?" ”

Qiao Feng looked at the corridor with his back to the planter, smiled hesitantly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't dare!" ”

Murong Fu also stared at the wall with his back to the Seed Master, and sneered: "It's just that the little brother is not a saint!" ”

The planter immediately choked, and immediately wanted to get up and leave. In fact, the Seed Master Dao did this, but as soon as he got up, Qiao Feng, who heard the movement, suddenly turned his head and glared at him fiercely. Seed Master Dao instantly felt a little cold in his neck, he touched his nose and sat back again, and said in a good voice: "The eight years of brotherhood between the two of you and the friendship between cutting off your head and changing blood, what misunderstanding can't you talk about well?" ”

Neither of them talked.

This officer is also forbidden in the army! Seed Master Dao couldn't help but scold, and said, "Qiao Feng, you say it first!" What's going on? ”

Qiao Feng was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Princess Shushou has been in the boudoir so far, Murong, since you have no intention of her, why bother to provoke her?" ”

"Princess Shushou? What does it have to do with her? The seed master was as straight as Zhang Er King Kong was confused, "Murong, do you want to be a horse master?" ”

"When did I provoke the princess?" Murong Fu said angrily, "When I left Beijing, the princess left an address to contact the official family. The teacher is now the official to the right, I don't know how many guns and arrows are aimed at him, I have been writing letters with the official family for the sake of the teacher. There is also this defense line of the Western Army, if I hadn't been writing to the official family to explain the battle situation here, do you think the official family would support the strategy in the court? ”

Last year, the Imperial Court declared that the war was dangerous and that it was willing to raise its own funds to build a defensive line from Lanzhou to Gyeongju to defend against foreign enemies. The song was sent to the political affairs hall, and the Luo Party led by Liu Zhi spoke out against it, saying that it was a waste of money for the people, and even the Empress Dowager Gao hesitated. In the end, it was the official family who spoke out in support of Su Shi, which allowed the matter.

"I see." Hearing the inside story today, Seed Master Dao stood on Murong Fu's side on the spot. "Brother Qiao, you don't understand the officialdom. Murong can't spend his whole life in Xiping, only by keeping in touch with the official family can he be in the emperor's heart and be of great use in the future! ”

"But he borrowed the name of Princess Shushou! He had no intention of marrying a princess, didn't he ruin her reputation and delay her life by doing so? Qiao Feng couldn't sit still anymore, and turned around and said hatefully. In addition to letters, he also gave gifts. Rare treasures, toy poems and books, each of which is trying to please the princess. Isn't this so that the princess will never forget him? ”

“…… That's right! "The seed master Dao immediately stood back, and said solemnly." Murong, this is yours! There are many sisters in the Taoist family, and he asked himself if someone like Murong Fu had been in private with his sister for many years, but he never had the idea of marrying her. He will surely go out and cut off the head of the bearer with one sword.

"I have never taught the princess privately, heaven and earth can be learned!" Murong Fu immediately swore an oath to the sky. "There has never been a word about the princess in the correspondence with the official family! As for gifts, in addition to the official family and princesses, the Empress Dowager Gao and the Empress Dowager Xiang also have a share in everyone! What's more, very few people know about my correspondence with the official family, what can I do to the princess? ”

This time, he couldn't even help it, and roared bitterly: "So what? The princess will only become more and more convinced that you are bothering so much for her sake! Murong, do you understand your daughter's thoughts? ”

"Why don't I understand?" Even the seed master didn't help him, Murong Fu couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and said angrily. "This year is the year of Dabi, when the new science and technology is released, the princess will marry a woman, even if there are still any thoughts and reveries in her heart, they will soon disappear. On the contrary, what we are going to do now is related to the national fortune society, how can I give up lightly for the sake of a little woman's cranky thoughts? What else can be accomplished with such fear? ”

Murong Fu was so arrogant that the Seed Master Dao was suppressed. After a while, he muttered, "It seems to be ...... It's also very reasonable...... "Seed master Daojiu has been used to seeing blood and human lives in the army, for the sake of peace in the world, don't say that it has not affected the princess's life at the moment, but what is it if she really ruins her life?"

"Crooked!" Without waiting for the Seed Master Dao to finish speaking, Qiao Feng immediately shouted angrily. "Master Dao, do you still have the word 'morality' in your heart?"

“…… Yes, yes! "The Seed Master Dao suddenly woke up and was ashamed of the secret Dao, and carefully persuaded Murong Fu." Murong, although you are reasonable, but what you do is immoral after all! ”

"What morality?" Murong Fu couldn't stand the wall-head grass of the Planter Dao anymore, "Planter Dao, if you believe in morality, why do you kill people in the army?" Why don't you knock on the scriptures and chant the Buddha? ”

Wait, what's the matter with me?! Seeing Murong Fu's nameless anger burning to himself, the Seed Master couldn't help but choke speechlessly.

It was still Qiao Feng who was generous, and he couldn't bear to see the seed master Dao suffer from the pond fish, so he put him aside at the moment, and said loudly: "You are simply strong words!" ”

"Why don't you say you're pedantic and stubborn?" Murong Fu choked back without blinking.

"One less word, one less word!" Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was becoming more and more tense, and they might fight at any time, the kind of cannon fodder that had just been set aside hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't yet stood firm, and was pushed out by Murong Fu again. I only heard Murong Fu angrily say: "Planter Dao, you give me less and thin mud!" Me and him, who are you helping? ”

How do I know who I'm going to help? The planter staggered a few steps, already dizzy.

Qiao Feng immediately reached out to support the seed master, and said loudly: "The problem between you and me, why should you be embarrassed by the seed brother?" ”

"I'm embarrassed, how are you doing?" As soon as Qiao Feng said this, Murong Fu's face became darker and darker, and he slapped his palm at the Seed Master again.

Where would Qiao Feng make Murong Fu succeed, and threw the Seed Master Dao back casually, so that the move in the Tai/Ancestor Chang Fist, "Swallow Copying Water", opened Murong Fu's palm. "You're unreasonable!"

The Seed Master Dao didn't know if it was Murong Fu's palm that was more powerful, or Qiao Feng's flick was more powerful, but he was a poor seven-foot man, and at this time, he fell out like a gourd rolling on the ground.

"The Tao is different, and they don't conspire with each other!" Murong Fu answered the sentence expressionlessly, and instantly changed his move to poke Qiao Feng's "shoulder chastity point" with his fingers.

Qiao Feng was reluctant to make a move with Murong Fu, so he took two steps back and couldn't help sneering. "Okay, I'll be the first to speak. If there is really a day when the princess is tired for you, Murong, don't regret it! ”

Seeing this, Murong Fu also withdrew his hand, glared at Qiao Feng hatefully, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "I believe that there will never be that day!" Even if I had, I would never regret it! ”

Once again, the negotiation broke down, Qiao Feng let out a long sigh, turned his head and left.

"That's it! All right! The gourd rolled back at some point, hugged Qiao Feng's waist tightly, and shouted hoarsely, "This matter is revealed!" Stop arguing! Everyone is still good brothers! I have something to do! I have something to do! ”

Murong Fu stood still, his face calm, and he never spoke.

After all, it was Qiao Feng who was more stable and knowledgeable, he sighed lightly, and took the initiative to ask the seed master, "What's the matter?" ”

"The defense line over there in Huanqing can't be repaired." The planter said with a sad face, "A few days ago, a few women wearing black veils and green cloaks came to the construction site, they came and went without a trace, killing many of our craftsmen, and our army officers and soldiers couldn't catch up at all. Nowadays, everyone is in danger and does not want to go to work. I see that these women are all armed with martial arts and claim to be the holy envoys of the Ethereal Peak Vulture Palace, and this matter can only be done in the rivers and lakes. ”

After saying that, without waiting for Qiao Feng to say something, Murong Fu couldn't help but sigh: "Tianshan Tong ...... is such a high-level boss, I'm afraid that North Qiao Feng and South Murong will not be enough for her to fight!" Is it too late to go to Shaolin Temple to make friends with Xuzhu?
