While chatting and gossiping, everyone followed Jia Laoliu's footsteps and cautiously marched along the mountain road; After turning a green hill in front of you, a medium-sized mountain village with smoke immediately came into everyone's eyes......

"Uncle Guo, look, this is our Tugou Village!"

After finishing speaking, Jia Lao Liu let go of his big hand, patted his little grandson's head and said:

"Donkey baby, you first run back to report a message, and ask the sixth aunt to send someone to Weijiagou, Wangjiayaokou, and Jiangpozi to inform you, and say that grandpa has brought thousands of Qin Jun masters, and they want to have a meal and sleep with us; Let them clean up all the places; If there is anything delicious and delicious, don't worry about hiding it! People can bring a way of life to the folks of our Li Mountain! ”

The donkey baby with a slap print on his right face swollen with a slap on his face agreed angrily, and then ran towards the entrance of Tugou Village in a puff of smoke......

Although the donkey baby has short legs, it is fast enough to walk and be familiar with the road conditions; This rugged mountain path was as light as walking on the ground for him; In the blink of an eye, in Wang Zhengling's eyes, he could only see a black shadow, running towards the entrance of the village happily......

As soon as the donkey ran into the village, he went straight to the first house:

"How's it going, Lu Shorty?"

"Jia Ye and I have already "detained" people, let's get to work. ”

After finishing speaking, the donkey baby beckoned to a middle-aged woman again:

"Come with me, until you're out!"

"Hey, the old lady is not willing to gang (partner) with the "earth jumping" (dwarf), not to mention the people of Caimen (tricksters), there are few clean hands and feet......"

"Fuck you! Do business, stick tight, don't be so broken (keep your mouth tight, don't talk nonsense.) ）”

The broken-mouthed woman did not continue to curse, but smeared a thick handful of ash from the windowsill, sprinkled some of it on her hair, and wiped it on her face, so that she looked somewhat embarrassed; Immediately, she dragged the dwarf actor surnamed Lu again, changed into a wooden face, and walked out of the door......

As soon as the two of them walked on their front feet, the rest of the people in the rivers and lakes also rushed out, hanging their heads and scattering away......

It didn't take long for Jia Lao Liu to lead people down the mountain road and come to the entrance of Tugou Village. And the donkey baby hurriedly pounced forward and grabbed Jia Lao Liu's hand; The sixth aunt, who was slightly dusty on her body, showed a thick cowardice on her face......

"His sixth aunt, come over and give a salute to Uncle Guo, this is a noble person in our village!"

After finishing speaking, Jia Lao Liu turned his head again and smiled shyly at Wang Zhengling:

"I'm sorry, Uncle Guo, the country girls don't understand the rules, they haven't seen the world, and they're ...... timid."

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way, the aunt is polite, and it's causing trouble to the villagers."

Wang Zhengling stepped forward and bowed first; The sixth aunt blushed, hurriedly patted the dust on her body, nodded timidly, and still didn't speak.

After all, Jia Lao Liu is an elder who has "seen the world", and he probably thinks that her appearance will embarrass the villagers of Tugou Village, so he immediately reprimanded him with some sternness:

"Dumb you? What is the identity of Uncle Guo? People are polite to you, no matter how stupid you are, you don't know how to respond? I can't make a fart with three sticks, I have to ...... today."

After Jia Laoliu returned to his village, due to the familiar environment and the fact that he was fighting at home, his waist pole also stiffened a lot. The more he scolded, the more angry he felt, and he was about to kick someone, but he was stopped by Wang Zhengling in a hurry:

"Old man, your temper is too impatient! Why do you have to reach out and hit someone at every turn? ”

"Dog meat can't be on the table, hens can't crow, you can't hold back the opportunity to show your face, something that has no interest...... If it weren't for Uncle Guo here today, I would ...... Forget it, hurry up and bring someone to get ready to eat! I took out all the pickles, rolled the noodles for me, and boiled the fattest toppings......"

"Brother Jia...... Our days are over, are we? ”

"If you don't say it when it's time to speak, I think you're a really ...... old girl"

Jia Lao Liu said that he was going to get on his feet again, but was stopped by Wang Zhengling again; This time, Wang Zhengling didn't speak, just shook his head at him playfully; The two looked at each other for a long time, and at the same time they laughed out loud......

"Hey, this person is a big loss, Uncle Guo, don't be surprised...... Don't stick here, hurry up and find a few people with fast legs and feet, and tell those bastards hiding in the mountain col that the big basket they poked out was borne by Uncle Guo! In addition, let the old grandson pick dozens of offspring who are diligent and can serve the animals; Go and take care of the thousands of horses outside the mountain. You must be careful, they are all first-class good horses; In case of a mistake, I'll tear that old boy to shreds and feed the eagle! ”

The woman, probably frightened, nodded timidly, and then took the donkey's little hand and ran back to the village. And Jia Laoliu shook his head, pointed to the depths of the village, and said to Wang Zhengling:

"Uncle Guo, you see, your brothers are really a bit much, and our Tugou Village will definitely not be able to fit it. I don't think it's better to do this, you divide into a detachment yourself, and I will have them taken to Weijiagou in the north, Wangjiayaokou in the east, and Jiangpozi in the west; These three villages are not far from us, and they are ready to eat, do you think this will be a success? ”

Wang Zhengling looked at the scale of Tugou Village, and knew that it was impossible to accommodate the rest of 8,000 soldiers at the same time, so he immediately agreed.

Jia Lao Liu howled a few more times, called out a few timid half-grown children, and then led the three teams that had divided the number of people by themselves to the three mountain paths......

As the sun gradually sank, the fowl and yellow dogs who had gone out to play also ran back to the village. Under the busyness of dozens of villagers, more than 20 large black pots were also supported in the courtyard; The chopping of vegetables and the harmony of noodles show a strong atmosphere of life. Wang Zhengling looked at the women who were kneading the dough vigorously, smelling the pickle jar and the old vinegar jar Kaifeng, as if he had returned to the peaceful period when there was no war......

The oil and spicy people in my hometown are more energetic than this sour vinegar taste!

Wang Zhengling, who was sitting by the stream, was enjoying a rare leisure time, but there was a sound of heavy footsteps behind him:

"I said that I didn't see anyone after looking for a long time, and it turned out that Uncle Guo was washing his feet here! Come, the "plucked fish" just out of the pot, the toppings have been laid, hurry up and mix well and eat! ”

Wang Zhengling turned around and took the big bowl handed by Jia Laoliu.

It's a steaming, long, fusiform noodle covered with a fragrant topping. Diced mushrooms, daylily, fungus and other mountain delicacies can be seen with the naked eye, there is a small pile of pickled vegetables on the side of the bowl, snow cabbage, radish skin and tender ginger shreds are cut neatly, the whole bowl of noodles looks colorful, it is very good-looking. Just smelling it is enough to make people's fingers move, and it is really not inferior to the bowl of "hometown noodles" he thinks about day and night!!

Jia Lao Liu himself also held a bowl of fish and sat next to Wang Zhengling. While eating noodles with "chirp", he casually asked Wang Zhengling:

"Uncle Guo, there is something I didn't understand, why did our Qin army oppose the emperor?"

Hearing this, Wang Zhengling swallowed the food in his mouth, and answered Jia Laoliu's doubts in the most ordinary words:

"Zhou Yuanqing can't be the emperor at all, the harsh taxes are endless, and the stolen officials under him are also desperately bullying the people, we can't look past it, shouldn't we oppose him?"

"It's time to be back, it's long overdue! Ay? Then if our Qin army wins, who will be the emperor? ”

"That must be our Royal Highness King Qin!"

"Oh, then I figured it out, it turns out that this battle is to be a nephew, to fight his own uncle...... This family's, it's really messy! ”

Wang Zhengling was also stunned when he heard this, and wanted to open his mouth to refute it, but in essence, although the other party's words were rough, it was such a thing! If it rises to the height of "family and country affairs", he doesn't know if this old man can understand. After being embarrassed for a long time, he could only shake his head helplessly and continue to concentrate on eating noodles.

"Hey Uncle Guo, according to what you say, if my nephew beats his uncle and finally becomes the emperor, won't we have to pay taxes?"

"Poof! What do you want to do, old man! Don't talk about you, even my uncle, I still have to pay taxes! If there is no tax, what will the emperor use to build the river and build the city, and what will he use to support the army? ”

"Ah...... I still have to pay taxes...... It's okay to pay taxes, so are there any officials left? ”

"Then there must be, Your Majesty can't come to your Tugou Village to collect taxes in person, right? Besides, in such a big place and so many villages, counties and state capitals in our Huayu Continent, the emperor can't be busy alone! Aren't you right? ”

When Jia Lao Liu heard this, he knocked the empty bowl with his chopsticks and stood up, and said with some discouragement:

If that's the case, this battle is "not interesting"! ”

After finishing speaking, Jia Lao Liu trembled and left; But Wang Zhengling was stunned in place, looking at the small half bowl of noodles in his hand, and his brain spun rapidly.

He originally thought that after he helped the "brother-in-law emperor" unify Huayu, the people would be able to live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy peace forever; But now that Jia Lao Liu said this, it seems that this earth-shattering battle is really "not interesting"!

Throughout the ages, there have been many corrupt officials like carp crossing the river, and Qing officials are as rare as a few water chestnuts; Even if the Northern Yan Dynasty becomes the Northern Qin, the gate lord clan who contributed to the imperial court is still the same group of people. When people are officials in Beiyan, they are stolen officials who scrape three feet of land; When he became an official of Northern Qin, why could he change his face and reform himself?

So for the people, what is the significance of whether Beiyan will change the emperor or not? Aren't they suffering from the same extortion and paying the same exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes?

Now the worldly learning in Huayu Continent is the Confucian school on Ludong Road; The "Confucian School", which was identified as a new school, has always been under the siege and interception of the Confucian School. If it weren't for the fact that Dongyou has a Li Qiyuan and Beiyan has a Wang Mubei, I'm afraid that this Confucianism school would have followed in the footsteps of all schools......

But now that Qi Yuangong is "deceased", Mubei Gong is old, and the Confucianism school has no successors......

Although the Confucian school was tragically wiped out, with its strong foundation, the death of a group of saints will not hurt its roots, and it can still firmly control the right to speak of the scholar class!
