Chapter 24: First Sight

Zhao Zizhong had already fallen asleep, and Wei Hongye treated Boris and Du Dalei for more than an hour, and it was finally done.

An Dalang came in to visit Zhao Zizhong, and when he saw that he was asleep, he asked Jiang Wuniang to accompany Zhao Zizhong and brought the other four to his room.

"I interrogated the captives just now, and accidentally killed one of them. It seems that our revenge will not be avenged for the time being. This gang of pirates numbered more than five hundred, a dozen ships, and had a stronghold on many islands, with no fixed nests. ”

He took a sip of his wine, and then said: "We were watched by their spies before we went out to sea, and knowing that there was a lot of good goods on board, we informed the pirates with carrier pigeons. They sent five boats to intercept the sea, and we were fortunate to only encounter two, and I have asked Boss Lin to speed up and get out of this sea area as soon as possible. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. I swear to the sky, this revenge will not be avenged, and the sky will thunder five times. ”

Du Dalei said excitedly: "Not only you, but we also want to take revenge, nainai's, let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see!" ”

Wei Hongye said: "Our top priority is to find a foothold in the south, so as to accumulate strength, and revenge must be avenged. Da Lang, you are Lao Zhao's brother-in-law, that is, our brother, I hope you can help us. ”

An Dalang patted his chest: "Don't worry, wrap it up on me." ”

Everyone went back to guard Zhao Zizhong, and at night, Zhao Zizhong began to have a fever, and Wei Hongye found antibiotics and poured them into him. The merchant ship went south at full speed, and after walking for three days, Zhao Zizhong's fever slowly subsided, and the people also came to their senses and were able to eat.

Boss Lin found a small island with no people, and a total of thirteen people died in the caravan, two of the eight heroes of the divine arrow, two ordinary guards, and nine sailors. Everyone carried the remains to the island, cremated them, collected the ashes separately, and then boarded the boat and continued south.

A.D. 962 on the eighth day of the ninth month

The merchant ship arrived at the port of Minnesota Prefecture. There are many sails here, and the boats shuttle back and forth, and it is very lively. The boat slowly approached the dock, and Steward Cui sent a man home to report the news, and then got off the boat to talk to the steward of the porter's line to discuss transportation matters.

Zhao Zizhong's injuries were almost healed, and Jiang Wuniang helped him to stand on the deck and watch the prosperous harbor. The children are suffocating these days and running around on the boat. Hu Yidao and Tian Renfeng came over and saluted Zhao Zi again.

Zhao Zizhong said: "Don't be polite, you performed very well that day, who thought of using lime?" ”

Tian Renfeng said a little shyly: "It's me, when I was begging before, I often saw gangs fighting, and they used lime. I found the guys in the cabin killing insects with lime and remembered it. I wanted to help when I was in a crisis that day, but I didn't have the strength to use lime. ”

Zhao Zizhong praised him: "Yes, his mind is very flexible, and he is a good seedling." ”

Du Dalei walked over, "This kid is very insidious, but I like it, haha." Boy, study hard in the future, you will definitely have a great future. ”

He touched Hu Yidao's head again, "You are not bad, you are bold, you specialize in chopping people's feet, don't forget that I took your name, don't lose Lao Tzu's face in the future, hahaha." ”

Steward Cui walked over, "Mr. Zhao, the carriage is ready, please get off the boat and go to Cui's Manor." ”

Everyone got off the boat with their luggage, An Dalang had to squeeze into Zhao Zizhong's carriage, and everyone had no choice but to follow him.

There are a total of ten carriages, only carrying people, and the goods can all get off the ship the day after tomorrow, after everyone gets on the car, the convoy sets off, An Dalang looks at no one outside the car, and says: "Brother, the crossbow you used that day is really powerful, where did you get it?" ”

"We bought it from the West, and this crossbow is estimated to be a masterpiece, and it is said that the craftsman who made it has passed away and no one can make it anymore."

"Oh, what a pity."

"Brother, don't tell outsiders, remember that 'the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty'."

"Brother, I'm awake."

The convoy traveled more than twenty miles and came to a large manor. The manor is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are about hundreds of houses built along the mountain, high and low. White walls and tiles, hidden among the green trees.

The convoy arrived at the gate of the manor, everyone got off the car in turn, and saw that the mansion here was quiet and elegant, and the vermilion gate was some years, revealing a simple atmosphere of vicissitudes of life.

Steward Cui came over to invite everyone into the mansion, and several servants in Tsing Yi opened the door, and everyone climbed the bluestone steps and entered the manor. Inside the gate is a courtyard planted with many flowers, plants, and shrubs. Passing through the courtyard, there is the main hall for the reception of guests, and the house is tall and spacious, full of grandeur. There was a man standing in front of the door, of medium stature, handsome, and handsome, and he smiled, bowed, and said, "A few distinguished guests are coming, fortunately, I am very happy, please come into the house and serve tea." ”

Immediately stepped into the door, after everyone entered the house, they found that the furnishings in the house were full of Ming and Qing style, not like the style of the Tang and Song dynasties, and they immediately knew in their hearts. After everyone sat down, the servants brought tea and dried fruits, and the prince looked at everyone, "In Xia Cui, please ask all Taifu up and down." ”

The five of them announced their names in turn and chatted with Childe. told about the experience along the way, the battle with bandits and pirates, and when it came to the thrilling place, Gongzi was embarrassed, and he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this time my Cui caravan can return safely, thanks to your strength, Cui is grateful." Please come with me to the study to discuss in detail, there are some things I want to ask you. ”

Childe led the five people through the hall and came to a quiet courtyard. There are three elegant houses in the courtyard. When everyone entered the house, the room was surrounded by bookshelves full of books.

Childe asked the servants to wait outside the courtyard and closed the door. He suddenly asked, "A monkey riding on the tree, a monkey underground, how many monkeys are there?" ”

Everyone looked at each other and knew that the meat was coming.

"There are two of them." Na Zhe replied

Childe smiled and asked Boris again: "What is Katyusha?" ”

"MLRS."

"Who is the president of Russia?"

"Putin."

Seeing that the code was matched, Childe was overjoyed, "How did you get here?" "Everyone told about the experience of crossing over.

Childe sighed with emotion, "I'm different from you, it's a soul crossing." I used to be a businessman with a company in Shanghai. Specializing in import and export trade. It was 2015 and I was thirty-eight years old. Have a happy family with a wife and daughter. That day, I drove to Ningbo to discuss business, and when I crossed the bridge, the fog was very strong, and the visibility was very low, and I felt as if I had hit a big truck in front of me, and I lost consciousness in an instant. I woke up and came here. ”

He paused, and then said: "The person I possess is the son of the Cui family, nineteen years old, seriously ill, it should be malaria, and the Cui family has already begun to prepare for the future. It was only after I possessed that I slowly got better. The Cui family immediately arranged a family affair for me after I recovered from my illness, and the woman was the daughter of the Shen family, a big family in Shanyin County. After getting married, I found that my wife was gentle and virtuous, so we lived well together. A year later, my father died, and the Cui family had a fierce struggle for the position of head of the family, and my father had a long reputation and many followers, and with everyone's support, I took over as the head of the family. But there are also many people who are not convinced, and secretly do a lot of small actions. I had to take the family craftsman to make a high-grade liquor, in exchange for a lot of money, and plug the mouths of each house, so that I could sit firmly in the position of the head of the family. ”

Zhao Zi thought about it again and asked, "What is the situation in this world, is Zhao Kuangyin sitting firmly?" ”

Cui Daoshu took a sip of tea and continued: "The year before last, Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chenqiao Mutiny and established the Song Dynasty. In present-day China, the Liao, Song, Shu, Southern Han, Northern Han, Southern Tang, and Wuyue kingdoms coexisted. Around five years ago, Zhou defeated the Southern Tang Dynasty and seized the land of Huainan and Jiangbei, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was renamed Jiangnan State. Wu Yue and the Northern Han were weak, and the Later Shu, Southern Han, and Jiangnan were in decline. Now the Mingzhou where we are located is under the rule of Wu Yueguo. The current king is Qian Hongyu. ”

"At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the five dynasties of feudal towns were divided, and wars were frequent, and the first generation of king Qian Biao adopted the strategic policy of protecting the territory and securing the people and 'retiring the army and relieving the people', emphasizing agriculture and mulberry, revitalizing water conservancy, and developing overseas exchanges with Japan, Korea and other countries, so that the two Zhejiang lands had a long period of stable development.

During the reign of Qian Bi, the economy prospered, and the benefits of fishing, salt, and silkworms were in the south of the Yangtze River; There are many scribes, many talents, and literature and art are also famous all over the world. Migrant workers were requisitioned to build the Qiantang River and Haitang, so that 'Qiantang is rich and prosperous in the southeast'. In the Taihu Lake Basin, the general construction of weir gates, to store floods, not afraid of drought and flood, and the establishment of a water network polder maintenance system, by the field pond is numerous, the land is plastered, there is a 'near Ze Zhi Tian Mei' words. It also encourages the expansion of cultivated land, so that there is 'no abandoned land in the territory', and the year is ripe and abundant. The people of both Zhejiang provinces call him the Sea Dragon King. ”

Qian Hongyu inherited the throne of Wuyue at the age of twenty, inherited the prosperity left by his ancestors, and also inherited the legacy left by his ancestors. After Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, in order to ensure the safety of one party, Qian Hongyu contributed to all the things in the country.

Qian Hongyu liked Buddhism, and after ascending the throne, he was appointed as a national teacher by Master Tiantai Deshao, and received the Bodhisattva vows from Daoqian lawyers, and was called Cihua Dinghui Zen Master. In the second year of Zhou Xiande, he built a tower with King Ashoka, cast 84,000 small pagodas, and the heart mantra of Na Bao Zheng was sealed, and it was widely issued, and it was known as Qian Hongchu Pagoda, and even spread to Japan. In the first year of Song Jianlong, Hangzhou Lingyin Temple was revived, and Master Zhijue Yanshou was invited to be the first generation of Zhongxing. He also invited Master Luoxi Yishan to talk about the "Lotus Sutra" and gave him the title of "Master of Pure Light". The repatriation envoy went to Japan and Goryeo to seek the Tiantai Sect, which led to the flourishing of the Tiantai Sect!"

Wei Hongye took over the conversation: "I remember that it is recorded in the history books that Zhao Kuangyin crusaded against the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the spearhead went straight to Jiangnan. Qian Hongyu rejected Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and sent troops to help the Song Dynasty destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty. After the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wu Yueguo's lips and teeth were cold. Later, when Zhao Er was in power, Qian Yu was ordered to enter Bianliang, was detained, and had to surrender to the Song Dynasty. On his 60th birthday, Song Taizong sent an envoy to congratulate, and Qian Hongyu died violently that night, and some people suspected that he was poisoned. ”
