The speed of the carriage was not very fast, and sitting in the carriage, Chen Mo felt that what he saw in such a season was often the endless fields, the farmers who cultivated the fields, and the vitality that filled the heavens and the earth, which was no different from his hometown.

But what you really see is uncultivated, overgrown weeds, clutter left behind, and occasionally bones lying on the side of the road.

It is full of greenery, but somehow, Chen Mo can't feel the vitality that belongs to spring, as if between heaven and earth, only their group of people and horses are slowly moving forward, I don't know where they come from, they don't know where they are going, they just keep moving forward.

The longing and expectation of the first trip were gradually replaced by emptiness and longing for his mother, and this was only the third day of his trip, and according to the teacher, this journey would take at least a month, and a team like theirs would not be able to go fast.

"Teacher." Chen Mo turned his head, looked at Zang Hong, who was closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep, and couldn't help but speak.

"Huh?" Zang Hong slowly opened his eyes and looked at Chen Mo: "What's the matter?" ”

"Why do you say this Taiping religion is causing trouble? And on such a large scale? Chen Mo's expression was a little serious, he had also heard Zang Hong say in the past two days that the current situation, the Taiping Sect has swept most of the Han world in just two months, and the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, at least eight of the states have been paralyzed, and the rest of the places are also plagued by thieves, but they have not yet reached the point of hindering the administration of the government office.

Chen Mo had personally participated in the combat power of the Taiping Sect, and it was difficult to imagine how such an army could defeat the elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty.

"It's a little complicated, if you say it's all the fault of that horn, it's not right, if the court is in power and the Son of Heaven is diligent, that horn has the ability to reach the sky, and it won't make the world turbulent, so this trouble, of course, has the reason for the horn, but the responsibility of the court cannot be shirked." Zang Hong sighed and said.

"Then the court ......" Chen Mo felt that it was a bit unruly to discuss the rights and wrongs of the court, but what the teacher said seemed to be good.

"Now that the imperial court has gathered elite soldiers and begun to clear the rebels in various places, although the Taiping Sect is powerful, it has risen in a hurry, and it will not be able to succeed within two months, and then, it will decline." Zang Hong was not annoyed by Chen Mo's question, but began to answer seriously.

"My mother said that the Taiping Sect is unclear, and it does not really win the hearts of the people, and it will be defeated sooner or later." Chen Mo pondered.

"Madame is indeed a strange woman." Zang Hong nodded, this opinion is not necessarily shared by many scholars.

"Disciple heard that the reason why the world is like this is because of eunuchs interfering in politics?" Chen Mo said curiously.

"This ......" Zang Hong didn't answer immediately, his eyes looked at Chen Mo with some complicated eyes and said, "Mo'er, what do you think of this eunuch interfering in politics?" ”

"If you look at it from the public, the things of all dynasties and dynasties have been proven. Gong politics is the way to take trouble. Chen Mo thought about it and said, what Zang Hong told him the most these days was what happened during the period from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

"Oh?" Zang Hong looked at Chen Mo with interest and said, "Speaking of the public? In other words, there is still selfishness? ”

"Hmm." Chen Mo nodded and said, "It's just that it seems to be a little ......."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, you and I will discuss it with my master and apprentice." Zang Hong said with a smile.

"The Son of Heaven is also a human being, since he is a human being, he will have relatives and distant relatives, the disciple is thinking, the Son of Heaven seems to be surrounded by eunuchs and concubines, right? The disciple doesn't know what the Son of Heaven is, but as far as the disciple is concerned, if what the mother said to the disciple is different from what others and the disciple say, he naturally believes in his mother more, and if what Uncle Yang said to me is different from what a foreigner said to me, he naturally believes in Uncle Yang. ”

This is also something that Chen Mo has been pondering recently, since he knew that the Son of Heaven was actually a person, similar to himself, he began to think about these questions.

"Teacher, is this the meaning that the father is hidden for the son, and the son is hidden for the father, and it is directly in it?" Chen Mo looked at Zang Hong curiously.

"The emperor's family history is much more complicated than this, but it also has this meaning." Zang Hong nodded, looking at this disciple with satisfaction, he found that Chen Mo remembered things very quickly, and often could draw inferences, many things, will have some of his own ideas, in the eyes of some teachers, not very good, and even attract disgust, but for Zang Hong, it is more important, people have their own ideas is not a bad thing, as a teacher, is to try to guide his ideas to the right path, not to stifle them.

Moreover, this child has a temperament that ordinary people do not have, it is a kind of free and easy to look down on life and death, perhaps it is because of this war that it has sharpened the child's heart, as a civilian, in the face of himself and Zhang Chao and such a character, he can be neither humble nor arrogant, not to mention that his brother is a ten-year-old child, even young people may not have this mentality.

"It's okay to play chess with me?" Zang Hong sat for a long time, a little bored, pointed to the chessboard in the carriage and smiled.

It's not actually suitable for playing chess in a bumpy car, it's just that this journey is really boring, not to mention a child like Chen Mo, it's Zang Hong, who can't stand staying in the carriage most of the time for three days in a row, and there is no such a big battle in the past.

From Donglai to Guangling, if you are fast, you can arrive in ten days, which is like now.

"Teacher, the disciple won't ......" Chen Mo looked at the chessboard a little dumbfounded, he remembered that there were basic chess skills in the dream training camp of the system immortals, but Chen Mo felt that this thing was not very useful to him, and it was not worth it to consume five points of luck.

"People have to be studious, and the teacher teaches you, which is actually not difficult." Zang Hong smiled and sat behind the chessboard and said with a smile: "And qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, although you don't need to be proficient, you need to know at least some, and it is best to be proficient in one or two things, so that if you enter the official career in the future, it will be much smoother." ”

Actually, the teacher just wants to find something to do to pass the time, right?

is familiar with Zang Hong, although Chen Mo will not make such remarks directly, but he will still silently slander in his heart, he really can't think of how this qin, chess, calligraphy and painting can be related to his career?

However, since the teacher wants to teach himself, Chen Mo can't refuse, so he can only kneel on the mat opposite the teacher according to the teacher's wishes, follow the teacher's example to uncover the chess cup, and listen carefully to the teacher's explanation of the rules of the chessboard.

The rules of Go are actually not difficult, but it is another matter to play well.

On the post road in late spring, the speed of the convoy is still neither fast nor slow, but the sound in the carriage is gradually replaced by the sound of falling children, and on the boring journey, the master and apprentice seem to have found the fun of dissipating the boredom, and the game of chess gradually replaces words.

"Alas~" On the car that was consigning food, Da Lang took a nap, looked around and smiled at the coachman next to him: "Uncle, isn't the world too peaceful?" ”

"How do I know? However, these 300 elite soldiers were killed from the battlefield of Bingzhou, and even if there were stupid thieves from the Taiping Sect, they could be easily defeated. ”

"Where is the annex?"

"North, far away."

"How far is that?"

"I haven't been there, how do I know, learn to drive with peace of mind, why do you have so many words?"

The coachman was annoyed by the question, and glared at Da Lang angrily.

The boring journey continued, and Chen Mo expected that the Taiping thieves would occasionally rob the road, but as the coachman said, these three hundred accompanying guards were all veterans who came down from the battlefield in Bingzhou.
