"Everywhere is the sheep intestine road, and the way back is convenience. Examining the life experience from the beginning, today is not the sky. There is no discussion of dividing the feudal state, not talking about dividing the country into the country, and the evening festival is complete. But Jue Jun was gracious, and the old tears suddenly flowed.

Xie Dongshan, Pei Luye, Li Pingquan. From now on, I will cling to the elders and shoulder to shoulder. Ten years of peace and happiness will be a hundred years, not a return to the field. Don't hurt parting, talk about getting drunk and watching the boat. ”

Under a white wall, there stood a fair-faced man, muttering the song "Water Tune Song Head" written on the wall, although he didn't know who the author was, but he felt the same way as the central context of the word, especially the sentence "Ten years of happiness, a hundred years of life, not a return to the field".

The man was extremely well maintained, he looked no more than forty or fifty, and his black hair was thick and neat, but he himself knew that if he had ten years later, he would be in his seventies, and he was afraid that this kind of happiness was already a luxury.

This is a nunnery not far from the city, and the outside of the hall is guarded by a group of officials holding sticks, and a soft sedan chair is parked on the mountain road below the hall. Strangely enough, the canopy on the roof of the sedan car had disappeared, and only four curtains remained, and the two porters leaned listlessly against a tree, glancing at the nunnery from time to time.

"What about the guy?"

A horse galloped from the direction of the state city, and the man on the horse, dressed in a strong shirt and looking rough, stopped his horse on the mountain road, and he jumped down and asked while throwing the rope to the servant.

The official who took the rope sneered in the direction of the hermitage, and the man nodded and strode up. The nunnery is built under a mountain range, the local name is "Jiulongling", there is a mountain gate in front of the hall, and there are three big characters on the book "Kapok Nunnery".

Hearing the movement behind him, the man in the nunnery turned his head, and the footsteps of the visitor kept approaching, and he retreated with some fear, until his back touched the corner of the wall. The visitor saw the inscription on the wall, read it in his mouth, and then smiled sarcastically.

"Jia Pingzhang made a mistake, he should call you Jia Tuanlian, do you know who made this word?"

"I didn't know it, but the word is a little familiar."

Hearing the man's answer, the visitor shook his head, as if mocking his forgetfulness.

"In the first year of Jingding, there was a person who, like you, was demoted from the respect of the prime minister to the training envoy of a state regiment and sent to Xunzhou for resettlement. Passing by here, he wrote this word, and he died two years later, Jia Tuanlian, so to speak, have you ever remembered? ”

"It's Wu Yifu"

After the man listened, he was like a thunderbolt, and the familiar figure appeared in front of him again, the first year of Jingding, it was fifteen years ago, and now he is the same fate, is this the retribution of the heavenly cycle?

"Jia Tuanlian, I've reminded you many times along the way, why don't you still fall in love with the stack, do you have to do it yourself?"

"The Empress Dowager Xu will not die, if you have an edict, you might as well take it out, and it will not be too late to die at that time. County Lieutenant Zheng, you have no grievances or hatreds, why do you have to work hard? ”

"No grievances?"

When the visitor read these four words, he suddenly laughed out loud, and his eyes were fixed on the man's face, so that he did not dare to look at each other.

"The practice of the public land law has caused many people in the two Zhejiang provinces to be ruined, fearing the enemy like a tiger, causing the army to be defeated in the south of the Yangtze River, abusing power and misleading the country, and how many loyal and good people died in your hands. Jia Rudao, until now, do you dare to say that you have no grievances with someone? ”

was called by his name by a lieutenant from Bapin County, the former powerful Taishi, Pingzhang Military Affairs, and Wei Gongjia seemed to be like a person, but he didn't even dare to refute it, even if he was still on it, but in fact, his life was all in the hands of this person, and he didn't know how many times he was persuaded to cut himself off along the way.

But Jia Rudao didn't want to die lightly, he was only over sixty years old, because he was properly maintained and healthy, it was possible to live for another twenty years, above the court, ups and downs were just ordinary things, as long as he kept his life, who knows when he won't be remembered by the officials? What's more, the Empress Dowager personally protected him from death.

Because of this, the county lieutenant Zheng who escorted him didn't want to let him go like this, this was already Zhangzhou on Fujian Road, and then he entered Guangnan East Road, and the destination of their group was Xunzhou under his rule, and he didn't want to wait any longer.

"County Lieutenant Zheng, a certain person has been subdued to the law, but he will live in a distant state for a lifetime, why bother to harm a certain life, a certain net worth and property are with you, just spare this experience."

"It's late, Jia Tuanlian, the world is so big, there is no place for you, the people of Wuzhou heard that you were coming, and Lubu flew to chase him. Jianning Mansion is the hometown of Confucianism, and this Xunzhou, have you forgotten how Prime Minister Wu Cheng died? Why didn't you spare his life back then? ”

Jia Rudao was exposed by him, and he couldn't help but tremble, just after he was named this year, Wu Qian was posthumously presented as a young master by today's official family, and his reputation was restored, but he, the initiator, embarked on the old road of the year, this is not what retribution is.

"It's not too early, Jia Tuanlian, let's go on the road."

After that, the person who came took a step forward, kicked him down, put his right hand on the handle of the knife on his waist, and gently pulled it out, the bright white knife light pierced Jia Yidao's eyes and couldn't open them, and in fright, he grabbed the legs of the person who came.

"Executed in private, violating the law of the country, Zheng County Lieutenant, kill so-and-so, you can't escape, why bother."

"A certain person kills the world, although he dies, what is the regret?"

The person who came raised the knife and stabbed straight down without hesitation, Jia Rudao only felt a cold in his chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth and splashed onto the corner of the person's pants. The person who came was unconscious, and with the force on his hand, he turned the handle of the knife that had submerged into his chest left and right, and then pulled it out suddenly, and the blood stains flew straight to his face, and the person under the knife had gray eyes, dull eyes, and his eyes were dull, and his head was tilted and he was silent.

He tore off the blood-soaked coat and used it as a rag to wipe off the blood stains on the knife, then threw it on the ground, and walked out of the nunnery with the knife in a few big steps.

The officials guarding outside the door saw him come out, and they all sent out inquiring eyes, and the people who came nodded and were about to speak, when suddenly the smoke and dust rose on the official road in the distance, and the rumbling horses' hooves were like thunder.

"Guangnan Terracotta Division transited, who are you, report your name."

"Zheng Huchen, the county lieutenant of the Xiaguan Huiji County, was ordered to escort the repeat offenders here, and he didn't dare to be the way of the army."

Although he was very puzzled why the soldiers and horses of Guangnan would come to Fujian Road, Zheng Huchen still replied with his fists in a fist, the other party's marching army was not good at first glance, and he didn't want to anger these soldiers for no reason.

"Huiji County? Wait, a certain general will come to question. ”

The soldiers on the horse shouted, turned their horses' heads and galloped back to the ranks, and after a while, several horsemen separated from the banner and rushed to the front of the nunnery at great speed, and the general headed by them had beards, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes were staring at them like torches.

"You wait for the escort to take the official to see it."

Zheng Huchen pointed to the nunnery behind him, Jiang Cai jumped off the horse, and walked inside with a few personal soldiers, the nunnery was not very big, and the situation inside could be seen clearly at a glance. As soon as he found the man who had fallen in the corner, several of his own soldiers blocked him behind him, and drew his saber and held it in his hand.

"Get out of the way."

Jiang Cai pushed away the person in front of him, he had already seen that the person was motionless, and there was blood in front of him, he was afraid that he would die thoroughly, but that side was so familiar that he was so curious that he wanted to step forward to take a look.

"It's Master Jia!"

Taking a closer look, Jiang Cai couldn't help but exclaim, he couldn't believe it, at the beginning of the year, he was still in high spirits, and the minister who went out of Beijing with tens of thousands of troops actually died here so silently, and the wound on his chest was obviously not his own doing.

"You did it?"

"Yes."

Zheng Huchen, who followed behind, replied, Jiang Cai nodded, he admired this person's courage a little, Jia seems to be a Taoist country for more than ten years, and his protégés and former officials are all over the world, this person actually kills when he says it, and he is not afraid of retaliation.

"Bury him."

As soon as the person died, Jiang Cai's past grievances disappeared, how to say that he was also the commander of the first army, and it was unseemly to expose the corpse in the wilderness so much, he commanded behind him, and the two personal soldiers stepped forward and dragged the corpse out.

"How far is it from Zhangzhou City?"

"Fast horses can be reached in half an hour."

Zheng Huchen had just come out of the county seat, and he replied when he heard this.

"You have violated the law of the country, although the circumstances are excusable, but the crime is unforgivable, since you have been touched by this official, you will temporarily serve in the army."

Jiang Cai called a personal soldier and asked him to take care of all the servants along with Zheng Huchen, and wait for the infantry army behind to arrive before being incorporated into it, while the cavalry he had other plans.

"Order, the whole army marches quickly, and after half an hour, the official will take the city of Zhangzhou, and immediately go forward for thirty miles, covering all the main roads, and no one will miss it."

This is already Fujian Road, Jiang Cai regards everyone as an imaginary enemy, and in order to achieve his goal, he has to be cautious. When Zheng Huchen and the others heard his order, they didn't know why, they just felt that things were unbelievable, they were surprised enough to kill the criminal officer, this general, actually wanted to capture the city of his country! Did you run into the rebels?

Half an hour later, the unaware Longxi County seat of Zhangzhou Prefecture fell into the hands of the cavalry, the city gate was closed, all the people were not allowed to enter and exit, and on the official roads in all directions, pedestrians were only allowed to enter and not leave, and there was a tense atmosphere of war.

"Wait for this to cross the border, and the official must have a book!"

Zhao Jie, who was under house arrest in his own house, was like thunder, and he, like Zheng Huchen and others, thought that it was a mutiny in a certain garrison. The other party waved the banner of the Quang Nam Terracotta Division, but held the city gate like a bandit, despite this, he was very careful to only dare to say "cross the border", and did not dare to shout the word "traitor", after all, his life was still in the hands of others.

"Do you want to write a book, please, but if you want to send it out, you have to wait until the official leaves the city, I advise you, don't be bored, don't annoy a certain subordinate, be careful that they don't give you food."

Jiang Cai said indifferently, he had to make this decision, because now the military order is still on the way to Fujian, he can't get it out at all, but fortunately, things will be clear in a few days, and he is not afraid of his threat.

After arriving here today, the day's journey will be completed, and the infantry will arrive later, and the sea fleet contacted according to the walkie-talkie has also reached the sea of Zhangpu at this moment, and they will follow tomorrow, all of which are planned.

Walking out of the mansion, the small riots in the city have subsided, Jiang Cai's department did not disturb the people, but just let the people not go out at will, which is also a matter of no choice, who knows which of them will have something to do with the Pu family.

Jiang Cai's worries were not about this matter, the contact with the Jingshi had been cut off, and the last news from Liu Yu was that he was in charge of the war, and he would no longer interfere when and how to fight. This is not in line with what was said before, will something happen? He didn't know, but intuitively it was definitely not as simple as Liu Yu said.

"Turn on the microphone and connect to Chen Qingyun in Quanzhou, who was going to talk to him directly."

Gathering his mind, Jiang Cai turned his attention to the upcoming war again, and instead of worrying about it needlessly, it was better to do his own thing. Since there is no bad news, it means that things have not come to that point. After he passed the order, he stared at the sky without saying a word, the sun had set in the west, burning the surrounding clouds like fire, which was the color of the Great Song Dynasty, and it had been firmly engraved in his heart since he could remember.
