Chapter 113: Fans
The carriage turned a long downhill slope, drove less than a few dozen meters, slowly approached the stones, and then slowly stopped. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The coachmen controlled the somewhat tired horses and stopped a few meters away from the boy.
Gong Shu jumped out of the car with the other two coachmen, and watched the young man stride over.
The horses parked next to the young man over there were all dressed in jujube red, but there was a circle of snow-white fluff on the hooves and feet of the limbs, and the horses with long legs and wide backs were very wonderful. When it saw that the people here were neighing, it actually raised its hooves and barked, as if to tell its master that these people were strangers.
The boy is still lazy, and he doesn't seem to have much to do with himself when he looks at everyone without saying anything special. But when he saw the coachman coming, his melodious singing stopped, and he grinned with his eyebrows raised.
Although he saw Gong Shu and the three of them getting out of the car, he still lay there. The corners of Resolute's mouth also curled slightly, revealing his kindness, but he didn't show the slightest.
But when others saw Gong Shu and the three approaching, he suddenly reacted. I didn't see any big movements from him, but the man suddenly stood straight, like a robot that plucked the clockwork, and moved automatically.
He was still carrying the horizontal knife in his right hand, but after his left hand kicked the blade beside him, when the chopping knife suddenly came out of the ground and flew upward, it was a quick kick at the end of the hilt, and his left hand quickly stretched out into a grasp.
I saw the knife dancing in a dazzling circle in the air, but he grabbed the horse chopping knife in the air.
Whether it is a teenager who loves to show off his skills, likes to pose a few times in front of others, or the beautiful dancing knife wheel, it is like a brilliant and charming illusion, but it is enough to make others look sideways. The two knives in his hand alone added a bit of power to the young man.
Seeing Gong Shu and the three of them approaching, he strode up and greeted him, his face with an evil smile made people feel that it didn't match his age. I can't tell that this is a young man, but like a man with a lot of experience.
However, this is indeed a little teenager!
He is said to be small, because he has not even grown a beard, and he only has a strong body and eyes that do not match his age. His careless eyes give people a sense of elusiveness.
and the speed at which he stepped forward to react more quickly, and the weapon in his hand with teeth and claws, so that the stamen sitting in the carriage couldn't help but lose a little color when he saw it.
Even ordinary people would think like this, he wants to fight with these three coachmen, after all, everything seems unknown to others.
Who would know about their relationship!
Hua Rui didn't know who this young man was, although he saw him just galloping by on the road, and seemed to greet Gong Shu in a hurry, but Hua Rui, who was in the deep palace, had never seen this kind of formation.
Naturally, I don't know that this is a common trick in the rivers and lakes, and it is also a common urging and transmission among the army. Although she and Meng Chang had been in the snow, she had also heard of some strange heroes, and had longing for those rangers like Nie Yinniang, but most of them were immortals and the like, and there were many fabrications and adding oil and vinegar.
It's like what I've seen with my own eyes in the past few days, and the reality of coming is exciting. Not to mention the little young man in front of him, although he didn't know his skills, just seeing those two knives made Hua Rui impressed most of them.
I don't know what kind of person this young man is, what kind of skills and skills he has, but since ancient times, there are many strange people in the rivers and lakes, and they can't ignore everyone, and Hua Rui still understands this truth.
But Hua Rui also had some thoughts in his heart, maybe this young man was a ranger, although his age was really a little young. But don't people all say that the old, weak, sick and disabled, and even some outsiders will be some strangers on the rivers and lakes!
Seeing the two sides approaching, when Hua Rui was worried, a faint voice sounded behind him, for this sudden voice, although Hua Rui was not very familiar, but at least he had heard it.
"Don't worry, this is the one who came to greet us!" The woman who had been sitting cross-legged behind her finally opened her eyes and looked at the few people who got out of the car.
Gong Shu really got together with the young man, although he didn't hook his shoulders, but he also exchanged with a low voice and laughter. They must have been connected, otherwise how could they be so close.
Although it was only a quick glance, Hua Rui also understood one thing, presumably like the handovers in the previous two days, this young man was here to greet his people. Knowing this, Hua Rui's mind didn't care about these things, but looked at the road leading to the river.
It was a dirt road less than five feet wide on the side of the official road, which stretched all the way to the river. There is a simple wharf made of wooden timber by the river, and the wharf is actually built with some large sections of tree branches, which looks rough and primitive, but it also has a unique flavor.
Naturally, Hua Rui didn't have the heart to look at this, because he faintly heard that he was going to take a boat, but he didn't see a boat on the shore. Seeing that half of this solid wharf was built in the river, I don't know why my heart is a little more stable.
Although I couldn't see the situation clearly, it was the rainy season, and the water in the river was so full that it seemed that the water was almost submerging to the pier, and the water was close to the treads made of tree branches. Presumably, the wharf made of wooden branches is very firmly fixed, and although the current in the river is large, the wharf stands firmly by the river.
The shore is green with reeds and grass, but when you look at it, it looks deserted.
At the beginning of the harvest after the rain, everything is so fresh and natural. It's like there's a little more umami in the air, and even though there's no sun, it's very comfortable.
The narrow dirt road can't be compared with the official road, so naturally you can't drive over, although the dirt road is muddy, and the grass on the side of the road is full of water droplets, but it seems that there is no choice, and everyone must get off the car.
At this time, Hua Rui's mind calmed down, and the matter has come to this point, and it must be in vain to make another plan.
Hua Rui is not a fool, she was escorted by someone for some reason, and she traveled thousands of miles to the wild land of Lingnan. In the past, this kind of action was the place where the imperial court issued prisoners on death row.
Of course, now it is said that Shuzhong is suffering, and as a generation of imperial concubines, she has been taken out of the people from the palace. was then escorted by house arrest, and no one came to pursue him along the way. Everything is still a mystery about what his future holds.
Hua Rui thought a lot, either Emperor Meng Chang really had a big accident, or the emperor followed the Empress Dowager's decree and gave up on himself.
As long as she is awake, she will think. Especially when she saw Li Yanniang and those women, Hua Rui basically ruled out the emperor's idea of abandoning herself, but felt that Shuzhong had really changed the sky.
The more desperate she is, the smarter she is, and the clearer the ideas in her mind.
Although these people themselves don't know who they are, they can also see some clues. First of all, although they are strict all the way, they also have a clear division of labor and strict organization, but they really did not treat themselves badly.
And when they arrived in the territory of Dechu, Hua Rui clearly felt the identity of those people, it was a specially trained team. Although Hua Rui did not participate in the political affairs of Shuzhong that day, she also accompanied Meng Chang to watch a lot of drills of the forbidden army. It is conceivable that Hua Rui's surprise when she saw these people was even more majestic and shrewd than the Shuzhong Forbidden Army.
What kind of team is this, an army? Or is it a privately recruited army of volunteers?
It's an army, so what kind of people do you need to train this team? is an army of righteous sons, then the master of this team must have a big plan!
If Shuzhong wants to distribute or exile himself, why bother so much! Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for concubines to be exiled, not to mention that it is now Lingnan with a different regime. Thinking about this period of sadness, I completely ignored the essence of the matter, which are obviously two different things.
As the saying goes, the authorities are confused, and it must be nothing more than that. Now I am in a situation where I have lost my previous spirituality.
Now that she figured things out, Hua Rui immediately knew her move, and now she didn't have to worry about anything. Where to go in the future, God has its own arrangements.
Although the young man was chatting with Gong Shu and them, he couldn't help but glance at the carriage, although he didn't stay for too long, but his sharp eyes had already left a deep impression.
After a pleasant exchange, the smile on his face that had been smiling was even worse, as if everyone had reached some kind of consensus. After nodding at Gong Shu and the others, he suddenly pursed his lips and let out a sharp whistle. From his mouth came a shrill whistle, and the whistle sounded through the wilderness, far and wide in the wilderness.
After a pause, the young man was not in a hurry, but just watched quietly. Then came two shrill whistles and sounds, and the sound was also crisp and long, and the direction was the river.
The young man stood beside Gong Shu and did not move, but looked at the dirt road leading to the dock in front of him with a smile, although his expression was relaxed, he seemed to be expecting something.
There was a silence, and just when everyone felt a little weird, the boy actually whistled twice. After about a while, there seemed to be a movement at last.
The reeds and bushes that approached here suddenly trembled. After a while, I saw that from the official road to both sides of the riverside wharf, from the wharf to the shore of the river, suddenly there was a burst of grass and birds flying.
Then you could see that on both sides of the dirt path, from the reeds and bushes, many people were coming out one after another. These people in strange costumes came out very suddenly, and the outfits and accessories on their bodies were very similar to the environment they were in just now. If you don't distinguish carefully, or if they don't come out on their own initiative, surely no one will be able to spot them.
What a clever stealth technique!
They all had all kinds of weapons in their hands, and their faces were smeared with colorful paints and rebranding things. They saw the young man on this side waving his hand, looked at the carriage and people on this side, and ran over quickly.
The people here looked over there, and a large group of people came over, not to mention a group of people in disguise, so they naturally felt a little inexplicably surprised.
The curtains have been lifted so that the people in the car can also see it. There was a woman who went to another escort with the car, and they got out of the car first, and stood by the car and waited.
The people in the car looked closer, only to find that they were actually a group of young men and women, all of whom were armed with weapons, and they were all dressed like the young man who was holding grass at the beginning, and they looked similar.
But what is even more surprising is that although these young men and women have used various techniques to put on makeup, they can also see that the oldest of them is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest looks only eleven or twelve years old.
Rao is a flower stamen who has seen many strange things, looking at this group of young men and women, and even people who are still children, in addition to being surprised, is surprised.
If these people in front of him were a team of officers and soldiers who had fought in battle, or a team of trained private righteous sons, Hua Rui would take it for granted. After all, the shock brought by these people is still amazing, but I never expected that it would be a group of young men and women.
There were nearly thirty of them, and although they appeared to be of different heights and sizes, they were even more different in age. But at a glance, it can be seen that they have just changed from children to teenagers or girls, and even children themselves.
Not to mention Gong Zuo, who was standing next to the young man holding grass, and Hua Rui in the car, they were all dumbfounded.
Gong Shu is not an ordinary person, and receiving this task is a good opportunity and exercise for him, and it is also an opportunity to prove and affirm himself. Although he heard his boss say who the person who connected this time was, and he heard this young man Liu Jialong mention it just now, he was still completely stunned when he really saw these people.
Walking and running are moderate, and at first glance it is well-trained, although it is still young, it cannot be ignored. As soon as you look at the formation of their influx, you can see that these people are not ordinary stragglers, but a specially trained team.
Gong Shu sighed in his heart, they had already come to the carriage quickly.
A fighting ship slowly sailed out of the reeds, without the slightest fancy, and even deliberately painted the hull a strange grass color.
Everything came prepared and without the slightest delay.
Another young man on horseback just now was standing at the bow of the boat, directing the fighting ship to approach the dock.
Gong Shu watched them move in surprise, and the two girls looked like they stood next to the carriage. carried the stamen on his back, and then one person carried it, one person protected it, and in a group of two, he ran to the dock quickly.
Gong Shu looked at the young man Liu Jialong on the side, and when he saw himself looking at him, he actually nodded politely. Gong Shu was surprised, but his face was silent, watching two more teenagers follow, beside the two girls, escorted one after the other, and quickly went to the dock.
These people had obviously been arranged a long time ago, and Gong Shu saw that each group was two girls, with a woman on his back, and then two teenagers on his side. Everyone moved quickly, one by one in the direction of the dock.
The two partners around Gong Shu are from the same background, and when they saw this situation, they also looked at Gong Shu in surprise. Everyone knows that Liu Jialong and the young man Liu Jiasheng on the boat are both talents from the Children's Hall, and they are both people who have been commended by the emperor. Originally, I wanted to win the emperor's smile because of their age, at most, because they were young, but I didn't expect that they really had some ability.
There is now a special institution in the Great Han Kingdom, which is called the Children's Hall.
Emperor Liu Jixing searched for some homeless and unattended children in various parts of Lingnan, and even entrusted his subordinates to search for some homeless and unattended children in various places in the Central Plains. Gather them all and bring them to the Xingwang Mansion to educate and train them in the children's hall.
No matter where these children come from, as soon as they enter the juvenile hall, they all change their surname to Liu. The man is called Liu Jia, and the woman is called Liu Jia!
They received the best education from the imperial court, and there were great Confucians and scholars, as well as experts with various specialties. Let them enjoy the best environment, live in the school built by the imperial court, and eat and dress the rations of the imperial court. The only requirement of the imperial court for them is to study hard and transform themselves into talents from all walks of life.
The officials of the court and the central government initially held a conservative view of the emperor's actions, after all, everyone knew in this era that the gathering of these children was nothing more than their own life. And everyone also feels tacit, after all, being able to live a life is the greatest kindness, not to mention being able to make people stand out!
Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, separatist forces and warlords in various places have wantonly recruited their own righteous army to strengthen their own power and jurisdiction. Everyone generally co-opts their generals and takes them as their own sons, and since the Five Dynasties, many generals have risen to prominence because they became the sons of the princes.
Emperor Liu Jixing had already started this action since he had not yet ascended the throne, and when he ascended to the throne, he took the initiative to carry out this action and opened it to the outside world. In just two years, the number of people in the Children's Hall has exceeded 3,000.
Because these children range in age, and even younger, to fifteen or sixteen years old. Most people will think that the emperor must be the first to use the old children, after all, these children can become the fastest objects that can be driven.
But at the beginning of the year, Emperor Liu Jixing did a surprising thing. After going through the assessment of the Ministry of Rites, a fourteen-year-old boy named Liu Jialiang was used to make him the county commander of a county, which really broke through the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.
Although the Ministry of Rites was more subtle at that time, it was hoped that the emperor could leave Liu Jialiang in the capital, train him for two years, and then give him a foreign position. Later, it turned out that the young emperor Liu Jixing was not reckless, and after the young Liu Jialiang arrived, he not only handled government affairs in an orderly manner, but also won the praise of the Ministry of Rites many times.
Now that young man Liu Jialiang has become a well-known figure in the Han Kingdom, not only becoming a role model for the younger generation of the Lingnan Han Kingdom, but also the youngest county magistrate in the Han Kingdom.
Although he had not personally experienced the education of the Children's Hall, he was really shocked to see that the actions of these teenagers were not weaker than those of the top students from the military academy.
Seeing that they sent all the people in the car to the boat in an orderly manner, Gong Shu knew that although he still had to escort them along the shore along the road, it actually didn't have much effect on all the changes on the river.
However, the three of them must drive quickly and wait at the previous stop. Thinking about the actions of these teenagers, Gong Shu really wanted to get on the boat and go with him to see what they would do. But there was no such arrangement in the mission, and the three of them only had the support of the land route.
Liu Jialong, a young man holding grass, saw that everything was ready, and said goodbye to Gong Shu, whether it was the handover of the task or the trust in the other party, without the slightest drag, he also quickly got on the boat.
Yandu
It is a capital city under the jurisdiction of Xingwangfu, because it is located in the tributary of Heshui, and it is also an important pass into Beijing and Guixiang, from the scale of a small county at the beginning, and now it is a large county directly under the jurisdiction of Gyeonggi.
Yandu is also one of the first capitals to be rebuilt by the first emperor Liu Shengqian and the last years. According to the suggestion of Emperor Liu Jixing, the original county seat was tripled, and the permanent water village and infantry military camp were added. Of course, the most important thing is to follow the model of Xingwangfu and set up the East and West Cities in Yandu.
The two cities have their own fang cities, and the houses are planned and constructed in a unified manner. Although some people questioned it at first, the cooperation of many businesses made Yandu develop rapidly.
Spring Water Station
It is the largest official post station in Yandu, and the personnel who usually do the work of the imperial court, and the personnel who enter Beijing from all over the world, like to stop here.
The morning sun has not risen, the morning light is warm, and in the backyard of the post station, there is an independent village. Although the rockery lotus pond is small, the ancient trees and flowers are dotted, but it also makes people feel that there is a different meaning.
The small lotus pond does not have large lotus leaves, but small duckweed, which also blooms with delicate flowers. There is a cluster of rare Buddha belly bamboos in Lingnan by the pond, although there are only three or five green bamboos, but they are already two people tall, lush and very verdant.
In the morning light, a beautiful woman stood brightly.
The long green silk hair that can reach the back of the feet is gently woven with a rope of several strands of fine linen cotton strips, and the embellishments are generally tied at the back of the waist.
The green silk white clothes are particularly eye-catching in the morning light, and the stunning Huifei flower stamen in Shu, even if it is not deliberately dressed up at this moment, this posture is also moving.
And the naturally drooping green silk on both sides of the cheeks and ears half-conceals the jade face, which makes the whole person look thin and gentle. It also makes people feel more mysterious from time to time, and has a rare desire to pursue her.
The originally fashionable and timely long eyebrows may have not been modified for a few days, and the thin eyebrows that were originally trimmed have grown, turning a pair of eyebrows into natural willow leaf long eyebrows. A pair of bright and watery eyes, black and shiny, like a smoke cage with a veil. The flickering long and curled eyelashes make this pair of Danfeng eyes even more lovely.
The side head looks concave and convex, the nose is straight and cute, one more curvature is high, and one lower arc is flat. The fluffy hairs under the tip of the nose under the morning sun make the sexy red lips particularly attractive. Although there is no embellishment of the palace phoenix lipstick, the vertical lip lines exposed on the lips are even more fantastic.
Without the slightest modification, standing next to one of the verdant Buddha's belly bamboos, wearing a white linen gauze light skirt, she looked like an elf who does not eat fireworks in the world.
The slender white and tender jade fingers gently grasped the tiny green branches, as if they were fairies coming out of a painting.
Suddenly, looking back, at the middle gate of the round hole in the courtyard, there was a group of young men and women whispering there. She looked at the group of people here, and couldn't help but be surprised and inexplicably unsure of what to do.
Although I arrived in Yandu last night and was arranged to live in this post house, I don't know what these people want to do until now.
But seeing everyone's blazing eyes, Hua Rui still couldn't help but shake her body slightly. If it weren't for the fact that there were only a few women among these people, seeing the looks and eyes of these people, the stamen would definitely lose its color.
Fan group, no one has heard of it! I don't know what it means, but literally, I can vaguely see that there are two meanings!
Hua Rui looked at these teenagers stupidly, and the slightly shy girls, they all looked at themselves with a kind of admiration! It was a frenzied admiration and envy, and the stamen could see it in their gaze.
