"Wine bag rice bag!"

A piece of music was slammed down, and the blue glaze lamp on the case flashed back and forth a few times, and the figure reflected on the wall also shook a few times in response to the occasion, as if to be angry.

In fact, the owner of the shadow was already furious - the city of Tokyo was the imperial capital, but a plague of unknown history broke out overnight, and the impact was so great, what would the emperor think if he learned that in just a few hours, the plague had spread to most of the city?

"Captain, don't worry, this villain has just gotten the news, and he has already assigned people to set out to search for the infected person, and he is buried alive, and the dead villain is also burned. And this twist and turn has been intercepted by us, and the big thing has been turned into a small thing, and the small thing has been turned into a small thing. What else are you anxious about? ”

"Fart! Forget if others are stupid, Gao An, you have been with me for five or six years, and I have handled thousands of large and small incidents, why can't I learn at all? The emperor is now having a hot fight with Li Shishi, the first card in the capital, and he will have to go out of the palace in the middle of the night in three or five days, no matter how much I delay, I can't let the emperor not go out of this palace for ten days! Not to mention ten days, now this chaos in the capital, you can't clean it up if you give you a month! When the time comes, if you don't report it, you will hide it privately, hum! "Gao Yu struck the gong and slapped the table all the times, like a harlequin in the Shangyuan Festival troupe." I'll let you take all the charges! You go! ”

"Ah, villain top, villain top..." Gao An shrunk his neck, so frightened that he couldn't say anything else.

"You are guilty! You're a piece of! Can you withstand this big black cauldron?! Hurry up and take this fold and seal it as it is, where did you come from, and send it back to me! Gao Yu was so angry that his voice was hoarse, and he fell back into the chair. Gao An trembled and stretched out his hand to hold the fold, and ran out with a rolling belt.

"Master, you drink tea to dissipate your anger, why should you be so angry with this stupid subordinate." Behind the screen, a charming girl came out, respectfully handing over a delicate teacup decorated with glass and gold.

"Ahem... Lan'er, you are clean in the courtyard every day, and you are at ease in poetry and embroidery, how do you know the danger in this court, and you are like a tiger. Let's put the tea aside, I can't think of a rut, drinking water is like pouring lead juice on me. ”

"Then master, you drink the lead first, and the concubine will tell you a countermeasure." Lan'er smiled lightly and lifted the lid of the cup for Gao Yu.

"When have you been joking, how can you women interfere in this national affairs? Tell me, what good ideas can you come up with? ”

"Master, there is a way that a single tree cannot make a forest, have you forgotten? I want to break the sky, and I don't like to talk about it to a reliable person. Lan'er whispered: "Taishi Cai just sent a letter, saying that he wants to come to the house tonight, and there is something to discuss." ”

Gong Cheng listened to the crying outside and clenched his fists.

Last night a natural disaster struck, and the city was in chaos, although the sky was merciful, and no one in the family was infected with the epidemic, but after such a commotion, my father's already weak body was almost unable to hold on. I didn't expect that the catastrophe that the Dao man said yesterday was so terrifying, and for the first time, Gong Cheng felt that death was so close to him, so close that it was suffocating.

"Young master, master, he woke up and told you to come over." The old servant said with tears in his eyes.

"Alright, alright, I'll get over here!" The male loses three steps and makes two steps and runs to his father's bed. After all, Gong Yifeng has been a military attache for half a lifetime, even if his eyes are half closed, and his breath is like a gossamer, he still folds his big hands with abrupt bones on his chest and lies straight, and his eyebrows are still righteous and awe-inspiring. When the old man saw Gong Cheng walking to the bed, his eyes regained some brilliance: "Cheng'er..."

"Yes, Father! Are you feeling better? When the outside settles down, I'll call the doctor. ”

"Not necessarily." The old man shook his head resolutely. "People who have been sick for a long time can be regarded as a little self-aware of the cold and hot of this body's yin and yang..."After a few deep breaths, Gong Yifeng continued: "I thought that this sick body could last another year and a half, but who knew that last night's epidemic, although it was not infected, this sudden change in wind and clouds also exhausted my last bit of anger." I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight, and there are still some things that I can't rest assured, so I have to explain them to you. ”

Gong Yicheng knew his father's stubbornness very well, and also saw that his father was indeed in danger, so he didn't dare to say more, and immediately knelt beside the bed and replied: "Father, please speak, the child must remember." ”

"Okay, Cheng'er, you listen carefully." The old man adjusted his breath and said slowly. "Since the ancestors of the Spring and Autumn Period became craftsmen and ancestors, even after the change of dynasties, they have been reused by the country."

"It's like a public loser... Luban? Father, our ancestor was Lu Ban? Is it the ancestor of craftsmen? "Then why haven't I heard others praise me?" ”

"Well, it's my father." Gong Yifeng shook his head helplessly. "A few years after you were born, the Liao Kingdom began to have constant friction with my Great Song Dynasty, I only had time to teach you some fist and foot kung fu, and I was transferred to guard the border, and I was also sick and painful in the years I came back, and I never talked to you about the glory of my ancestors. The public loser invented all kinds of weapons and armor, and then the unique ingenuity of the public loser has been coveted by all forces. In order to prevent the clansmen from living in many dangers, the 12th Gongyi announced that he would stop developing telekinesis and pass on most of the previous achievements to his apprentices. Gong Yifeng said this for a long time, and he rested for a long time before he was able to continue speaking.

"It's just that this ingenuity is still secretly passed down from generation to generation, and is being improved from generation to generation. After all, the trick can defend the land and kill all sides; Small can be used for farming and weaving, so that twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Father, why has it been since I was a child, except for my father's saber, I have never seen any ordnance in the family?"

"As the so-called big sound is sounded, the elephant is invisible. My father-in-law has always had the cross clan admonish his descendants: 'Prosperous times make plowshares and hoes, and troubled times cast swords'. In order not to be noticeable, most of the public transport tricks can be disassembled, assembled and spliced in ordinary times, disguised as daily necessities, and when necessary, they can also be turned into killing tools in a moment. The technique must be broad and profound, and you must study it carefully as an adult. On weekdays, you are casual and playful, and you don't say anything for your father. But you have to remember that at a critical time, the male of the public loser must be able to do his part for justice..."The voice of the public loser became smaller and smaller, and his face began to darken.

"Father, the child remembers. You take a break first and don't talk too much in one breath. ”

"All that the Father wants to say is finished... The fragments of the technique were sewn into the lining of my armor, and in the carpentry room in the backyard were the pieces of equipment I had made from the fragments in my early years. If the Liao soldiers come to attack in the future, you must make good use of it, not only to give full play to the power of public transport ingenuity, but also to be careful not to let people with bad intentions get them. After Gong Yifeng finished speaking, he closed his eyes with relief.

"Taishi Cai suddenly came this time, which really made the lower officials panic, and dared to ask what could be done to work for the Taishi?" Under the shadow of the lamp, Gao Yu smiled all over his face, carefully observing the old guy in front of him. This is an old fritter who has survived the war between the two factions of the first dynasty and has been demoted four times, if Gao Yu is a poisoning insect in the dynasty, then this Cai Jing can be called a nine-headed demon snake that can't cut endlessly. Gao Yu thought like this, and didn't feel some cold sweat on his head.

"Captain Gao is polite. The old man came this time because of the plague in Tokyo last night. ”

This is too straightforward to say a few words, which makes Gao Yu a little confused. This old man is also well versed in the way of officialdom, how can he speak without concealment today?

Got something to ask for? No, he is already a supreme minister, what else can come to me for a first lieutenant?

Be a thief? Nor will it. The old thing has neither a reason nor the ability to raise up such a catastrophe.

Are you trying to pull me into the water? It must be. He is the prime minister of the dynasty, and he can't get out of the plague at the gate of the imperial city this time. What Lan'er said is reasonable, I'm so stupid, this plague is not just me, why should I panic here alone? Now that I've grasped the opportunity, I'll take the old fox's words.

"Taishi is far-sighted, presumably the epidemic disaster, Taishi already has a solution. If there is a place where the lower officials can contribute, even if the Taishi speaks, Gao must be-"

"Yes, the old man already has a countermeasure to this plague. Since Taiwei is so enthusiastic, the old man is not very polite, and this time he came to have a reluctant invitation, and he wanted to bother Gao Taiwei to make a trip. ”

Gao Yu slapped himself fifteen times in his heart, he wanted to hear the old thief's ghost idea, but he really put himself in. Now this old thing, even if I go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, it will be difficult to shirk. I knew that I shouldn't have kicked those few leather balls in front of the emperor, but now that I have an official position, my head is tied to the belt of my trousers every day. Iniquity, iniquity!

Cai Jing couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart when he saw the forced smile on Gao Yu's face and the twitching corners of his mouth. "Hey, Captain Gao."

"Huh? ...... Master, please speak, but it is useful to the villain, and it is also necessary to go to the soup and fire. ”

"Hahahaha, Taiwei is serious, Taiwei Gao is a red man in the eyes of the emperor, how dare you let you go to the soup and fire, if you are not careful, won't you roast this red man?"

It's a shame that this old dog can still play here Haha, Gao Yu scolded secretly in his heart, and he had to laugh dryly: "The master is laughing, laughing." ”

"You don't have to go to the soup to fight the fire, you just need to help the old man go to the Jiangxi border and open a lock for me." Cai Jing's smile was unusually fast, and he stabbed at him like a categorical sentence.

"Forgive the official for being stupid, but I don't know what kind of lock this lock is? How important is it to go so far to open? Gao Yu asked, rubbing his cold fingers.

"Captain Gao", Cai Jing's gaze suddenly became sharp, "If there is something that you can't handle, will you try your best to do it knowing that you can't complete it?" ”

"This, this..."Gao Yu's brain doesn't seem like his own.

"Taiwei is also a smart person, and he should know how to accompany the king like a tiger. This plague is extraordinary, and if we can't end it quickly, the emperor will definitely blame us for our poor relief. But if a more ominous event occurs immediately after the plague, people will think that the two are interrelated, with the plague coming first and the catastrophe coming last. When the time comes, we will solve the latter first, will the emperor still delve into the matter of the plague? ”

"Master, this plan is a clever plan. But we can't even solve this plague, and you have to cause the disaster yourself, and if you can't deal with it, won't you set yourself on fire..."

"Don't be in a hurry, and listen to the old man." Master Cai took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then said: "It is natural to deal with natural disasters. But if it's a man-made disaster, isn't it much easier to deal with? ”

"What do you mean by man-made disaster?" Gao Yu is now chilling from the bottom of his heart, it seems that this old thing is a hundred times more vicious than he imagined.

"This is going to talk about the lock that the old man asked the captain to help open." Cai Jing smiled.

"Tired of Gao Taiwei, he will write to the saint tomorrow and ask to go to Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province to burn incense and worship the ancestors of all generations to eliminate the plague. There is a temple in the mountain behind the fairy palace, called the temple of the demon. The lock that the old man begged the captain to open was there. ”

"The Demon Temple... What's locked? ”

"Of course it's a demon," Taishi Cai squinted and smiled, "To be more detailed, it's the Thirty-Six Tiangang of the Big Dipper." ”
