"Maxima often exists, but Bole does not often have."

If Song Hai is compared to an excellent horse on the battlefield, then his Bole is undoubtedly Qiu Sheng. Whether it is from discovering Song Hai's military talent or to the personnel appointment before leaving, we can see Qiu Sheng's importance and expectations for him, hoping that this former hunter and now a ranger general can show his more perfect talent on the military stage of Shangguo.

If Song Hai knew that this was the last time he said goodbye to Qiu Sheng, he might not have walked so easily.

Along the way, the jujube red horse carried him slowly on the way back to the station, only a few clouds drifted in the air, the sun was warm, a little windy, and the weather was good.

Song Hai's heart changed from being at ease with the general's trip to the capital to being a little relieved. Qiu Sheng's sentence "Let's drink together next time" seemed to tell him not to worry about himself, he also knew that after all, he was a general, a commander of thousands of troops, and the regent couldn't do anything with him, but it turned out how wrong his idea was.

After drinking and saying goodbye, Qiu Sheng drove the horse and still walked on the official road leading to Pukou Ferry. Under Song Hai's send-off, his mood was not as low as before, and after some recollection, he decided to give up the stupid idea of dying when he returned to Beijing, and he had to fight against fate. In order to keep the family, Qiu Sheng plans to use his killer weapon to fight to the death.

The official road enters the boundary of Xuzhou along the Xishui, and the mountains and rivers are still the same as when they set out on the expedition. Qiu Sheng is no stranger to this place, because he himself is a person from Xuzhou, and Qiu Sheng is still from a scholarly family, and he has been an official for generations of imperial examinations. I didn't think of Qiu Sheng's generation, but I started the profession of a military general, I don't know if it is a misfortune for the family.

Xuzhou has always been a battleground for soldiers. Although most of the current Xuzhou belongs to the territory of the Mumu Kingdom, only a part of the southern Xuzhou is still guarded by the garrison of the Shangguo, but the importance of Xuzhou is more important for the Shangguo, because it is one of the three major passages for the Northern Expedition, and the other two are Huaizhou and Gyeongju, where the Northern Expedition army was stationed. On the other hand, for the northern Mumu country, the first route to choose for the army to go south will also be Xuzhou, where the terrain is flat and conducive to cavalry mobility, and it is the closest to the capital of the upper country, and the most important thing is that there is the largest ferry on the north bank of the river - Pukou Ferry. Mumu country came from the country, vigorously passed through Xuzhou, and often waved the army to the south and unified the heart.

The great river runs through the land, originating from the snowy mountains in the west, gathering thousands of streams of water, rolling eastward, and flowing straight to the sea. Before the northern territory was lost, the Great River was just an ordinary river in the upper country, but it was relatively wide, but after the first emperor moved south, the Great River basically became the natural border between the upper country and the pastoral country. If a person wants to cross the river, he must have a boat, and if he has a boat, he must have a ferry, so whoever can control the ferry on the river will be one step ahead of his opponent. Pukou Ferry is the most important of the five important ferries on the river.

"Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel or stay in the hotel?" As soon as Qiu Shengzi stepped into the Yuelai Inn, an old shopkeeper stepped forward to ask.

"Do you still have an upper room?" Qiu Sheng said as he looked around with his eyes, observing the people in the lobby of the inn.

"Yes, there is an upper room, but ......"

"Take it, take me." Qiu Sheng didn't wait for the shopkeeper to finish the following words, he took out one or two silver ingots from his arms and threw them over, completely acting like a Jianghu person, without the feeling of being a person in the official mansion at all.

The shopkeeper quickly stretched out his hand, caught the silver in mid-air, and put it in his sleeve. He knew that if the treasurer saw it, he would not have his share of the money.

"Okay! There is a room on the Tianzi number, and the guest officer is invited to !! The loud voice passed through the noisy noise of the lobby and reached the ears of the counter shopkeeper, and the pen he held in his hand recorded this business in the account book: On the afternoon of the second day of the first month of this month, there was a swordsman with a house, a room on the Tianzi number, and a room for the E character.

Walking through the noisy lobby, the shopkeeper walked into the courtyard with his own gold owner and came to a two-story building in the courtyard. Walking up the wooden staircase, the first room at the staircase is Qiu Sheng's room, and the door number reads "Tianzi No. E".

As the shopkeeper pushed open the door, they came to the room. The furnishings are not luxurious, but they are still a little exquisite, and the copywriting curtain is also elegant. There is no shortage of some wealthy families in Pukoudu, and the rooms with reasonable prices and high-grade are of course very popular.

"Uncle, is the room quite satisfied? This is the last of the five upper rooms in the store. The shopkeeper said.

"Not bad. Go down! "Qiu Sheng actually didn't have much to look at how the room was, he would cross the Yangtze River tomorrow morning, who cares, and he won't stay soon. The shopkeeper wanted to leave, but suddenly Qiu Sheng stopped him.

"Little second brother, please send five catties of cooked beef later, add a few side dishes, and don't forget to bring a pot of good wine." Qiu Sheng commanded.

"Uncle, our store has peach blossom wine sold from Jiangnan, sweet and fragrant, Jiangbei this land, only our store has. Do you want to try it, uncle? Since coming to their inn, people from all over the world have praised it after drinking it, and they can't wait to soak in this peach blossom wine jar for the rest of their lives.

"Peach blossom wine? I've never heard of it, is it made of peach blossoms? "Qiu Sheng's best wine and wine, for many years, up to the emperor's state banquet, down to the village inn, before you come out, you must taste the best local wine, but this peach blossom wine is indeed unheard of.

"Don't hide it from uncle, this peach blossom wine is a popular wine in recent years. It is said that it came from the hands of a skilled young winemaker in Yuanhe County, Chuzhou, Jiangnan. It took a lot of trouble for our shopkeeper to buy twenty jars from Yuanhe Shen's Winery, and the price was very expensive...... "The more the shopkeeper talked, the more energetic he became, mixed with a lot of things he hearsay, what can prolong life, what invigorates blood and dispels blood stasis to treat internal injuries, and actually whispered to Qiu Sheng in a matter-of-fact manner: "The little one has also heard the uncles who have drunk it, and this wine can also make people have sex for a long time." ”

Can you also increase durability? Qiu Sheng frowned when he heard this, his face full of suspicion. Although it is said that alcohol can help sex, I have never heard of such outrageousness. Of course, he didn't take these words to heart, and he also knew that the words of the shopkeeper were also half-truths and half-truths, and with curiosity, he wanted to know which ones were true and which ones were false. So, General Qiu, who is now more suitable to call him Qiu Daxia, once again took out a piece of silver from his arms and gave it to the shopkeeper: "These are enough money to buy wine and food!" ”

"Enough, enough. Uncle, wait a minute, I told the kitchen to prepare wine and food for you, wait a while, wait a while. The shopkeeper smiled all over his face as he took the silver and exited the room.
