On November 25 of the second year of Longxing, the Ghost Hunting Seven Divisions that came from Yuezhou in the south of the Yangtze River finally crossed the mountains and ravines that stretched for dozens of miles, traversing the mountains and ravines between Qimin Daozhang and Jianerzhou, and stepped into the Jianzhou Mansion that was deeply poisoned by the moon. ◢ With * dream * small ◢.1a

This team of more than 200 people seemed insignificant to any force on the Qimin Road, so that the officers and soldiers under Zhang Xianye's command went into the mountains to chase after them for several days, and after they were never seen, they didn't bother to care about their lives or deaths.

Compared with this inconspicuous episode, in November of this year, several major events really happened.

The first to bear the brunt was the defeat of the northern border army, and nearly half of the sixteen states of Yanyun fell into the hands of the Rakshasa State. What is more worrying than the loss of the city and the loss of land is that the economic lifeline of the Liang Dynasty, the Jingquan Canal, which runs through the north and south, is also in jeopardy.

For more than 1,000 years, tax revenues, grain, silk, cloth, and handicrafts from the rich lands of the south have poured into Bianjing through this canal. At present, the places where the canal flows, Yanzhou and Tongzhou, have all been under the watchful eye of the Rakshasa people.

There are different opinions about the reasons for this sudden defeat, but the spearhead is all pointed at General Tu Lang of Yanyun without exception.

When the news reached Bianjing, Emperor Longxing was furious, not only demoted the right minister Tu Liangyi, but also abolished Zhongshu Province. At this point, the young emperor monopolized power, and the Liang Dynasty, which had implemented two hundred years of monarchy-Confucian co-governance, finally existed in name only.

Because all this is so close to the day when the evil moon is reduced to the eighth day, it makes people's hearts panic even more, and the price of goods is high.

The anti-thieves in Hunan and Shu have not been eliminated, the invasion of the northern rakshasas, and the worship of the moon in Fujian are poisonous, in addition to this kind of chaos, there is another more shocking news.

In mid-November, the news of several fishermen who saw floating islands in the sea in the thick fog when they went out to fish spread in Yinzhou Province, Jiangnan East Province.

When some people heard about this, they quoted the allusions of Tao Gong's old texts and called this nameless floating island Peach Blossom Island. Some people even thought of the legend of the old gods with scales and half claws, saying that this floating island is Yingzhou.

Rumors spread, and the Yinzhou Inspection Department sent two lemon boats to the sea to inspect in order to set the record straight, but they sank into the sea.

A few days later, the two surviving officers and soldiers fled back to Yinzhou in sampans, bringing back chilling news.

On the sea dozens of miles east of Yinzhou, I don't know when, there is a huge and incomparable floating island. The men and women on the island are farmers and weavers, and their clothes and appearances do not look like barbarians, but they don't know that there are Wei, Jin, Tang and Song dynasties, let alone Zhao Liang.

Soon after the patrol officers and soldiers arrived on the island, they were besieged and killed by the mighty giants, and all but two of them fled back at night.

The people have rumored that the old gods are about to return to Shenzhou.

Some people remembered the ferocity of the old gods in the legend, and they were terrified, and some people felt that the evil moon was coming to the world, because the people and gods in the world were reversed, so some brave people tried to sail out to sea to welcome back the old gods, but they went to several waves of people, but all of them returned in vain—and suddenly the floating island could not be found.

The world is in chaos, the wheel of history does not know where to go, in the context of this majestic change, no matter what the Ghost Hunting Seven Divisions do, they can't make much waves.

However, not everyone has forgotten about this team.

Only in Quanzhou Mansion, Qimin Road, there are people, who are worried about this, and it is difficult to sleep and eat.

On November 25, the second year of Longxing, on the same day that the Seventh Division set foot on the border of Jianzhou, outside Wurong County, Quanzhou Prefecture, the dust was flying, and the officers and soldiers were in the camp in the distance, and the shouts of soldiers training were heard from time to time.

On the empty shooting range, Song Manqiu stood with his bow drawn, and his small arm exposed outside the wide cuffs was as white and slender as a lotus root, making it unimaginable that this seemingly weak arm could open such a large giant bow.

There was a bang, accompanied by the aftermath of the bowstring tensioning, and a group of wooden stakes dozens of feet away exploded.

Practicing archery to this extent, in terms of Song Manqiu's age, she is proud enough, but there is no smile on Miss Song's face. The originally sassy face, at this time, the sword eyebrows were frowning, and it looked more and more heroic.

"Sister Qiu is so accurate!" Jiang Chuyun put his hand on the pergola and looked at the arrow target in the distance, his tone obviously with irrepressible joy.

Song Manqiu didn't say a word, pulled the bow and pulled another arrow, and the arrow condensed by the aura still fell on the place where it hit before, blasting the broken wood residue into the air, and she didn't stop for a moment, and pulled the bow again.

"Qiu Mei......" Jiang Chujun was obviously smarter than his brother, and knew when to hide his emotions, and sighed: "Jiren has his own natural appearance, why do you want to belittle yourself like this?"

As soon as these words came out, Song Manqiu really stopped, turned sideways and looked sideways, and said coldly: "What do you mean by this?"

"I ...... I'm ......" Jiang Chuxiao said in his heart, didn't I comfort you, is this also wrong?

Seeing his embarrassed look, Kong Ling suddenly smiled and said: "You don't say it, but you gloat in your heart, my sister Bingxue is smart, can't you hear it?" It's a pity that that son is an unlucky ......."

"Ling'er, what nonsense are you talking about?" Song Manqiu said hurriedly.

"Where am I talking nonsense! He is going to join the Yu family in the future, and he will not be blessed to let down the beautiful woman in vain?" Kong Ling said with a wink.

Song Manqiu thought that she was going to say something unlucky, but when she said this, she was in a better mood, and said in her heart, Bu Gongzi, if you can return with your whole body, it doesn't matter if you join the Yu family.

Her expression was undisguised, and her thoughts were clear, and she could see that the Jiang brothers were resentful.

Jiang Chuyun had a straight temperament, and couldn't help but whisper: "That person has always acted recklessly, and this time he is also to blame." ”

Before Song Manqiu could speak, Kong Ling squinted his eyes and sneered: "Some people have just been grounded for three months, and they are ashamed to speak. I don't know which one is acting recklessly?"

Jiang Chuyun was so excited by her that his face was like pig's liver, his nostrils were angry, and he snorted coldly: "Where did I say it wrong? These Seven Min Dao, there is a king of Hades on the top, and a little ghost on the bottom, and I Qufu are all in a difficult situation. For the sake of some military salaries, grain and grass, Uncle Song was angry, and he didn't dare to offend Zhang Chengtao. It's good to be a bad man, it's okay to beat the dog without looking at the owner, and even send someone to send someone to charge him, now even Uncle Song is in a dilemma......"

Song Manqiu was speechless for a while, turned his head and walked away with a cold face.

"Sister Qiu......" Jiang Chuyun chased a few steps, but when he saw that he couldn't catch up, he stomped his foot angrily, turned around and blamed: "Brother, just say a few words!"

"Where did I say something wrong. Jiang Chuyun snorted.

Kong Ling pursed his lips, paced leisurely in the direction Song Manqiu left, and muttered softly: "You guys, even if that person dies and doesn't see the body, the two of you are just fine." ”

Jiang Chuyun was unconvinced, but he didn't say anything for the sake of face.

His younger brother Jiang Chujun was softer, and he followed with a little hesitation, and said with a smile: "I have to ask Sister Ling for guidance." ”

"I'm young, so I don't know anything about you. Kong Ling laughed, walked a few more times, and saw that Jiang Chujun was still following, and said suspiciously: "Hey, what are you doing with me?"

"I ...... I'm going to persuade Qiu Mei. Jiang Chujun grinned.

"I'm not going to look for my sister," Kong Ling shrugged: "I'm going to play with that old county order, are you going too?"

Jiang Chuxiao stopped when he heard this, obviously not believing it: "That Chen County Ling is always unlucky with a sad face, what fun are you having with him?"

Kong Ling rolled his eyes, and shook his head in disappointment as he walked: "It's fun to see him miserable." ”
