Chapter 269: Since you don't say it, then follow mine

After explaining his instructions to the handyman, Tang Cheng waved his hand, and then the official room where the door was gently closed from the outside by the handyman fell into silence again.

Although there were several volumes piled up on the bookcase in front of him, Tang Cheng didn't have the heart to take a look at it, and now he no longer looked like a workaholic, the whole person just sat loosely, as if he was thinking about everything, but he really didn't think about anything.

Although there was still something to be done, it was not enough to save Tang Cheng from his boundless depression, his body and mind were now purely empty, and there were even many memories of the last days before the time crossing.

That period of despair about life, about the meaningless memories of life itself, suddenly, three years, spanning 1,300 years of time and space, Tang Cheng once again truly relived the feelings of a nihilist, the ideal death, the empty and suffocating state of mind after despair.

The sky of life is shrouded in heavy lead-like clouds, even the tiniest light cannot penetrate this thick dark cloud, there is no hope, the ideal has long been dead, you can clearly feel the helplessness of yourself falling into a cold and biting ice cellar, the ice water is overflowing your feet, legs, waist, powerless to struggle, even desperate you don't want to struggle anymore - everything is doomed to be in vain, then wait, wait for the moment when the ice water overflows overhead......

This is the truest feeling of the nihilist - the powerlessness and helplessness of despair!

The rapid knock on the door of "Knock Knock" dragged Tang Cheng out of his past feelings, and after a few big gasps, Tang Cheng sat up straight, and he knew that there was no one else in the county government who could knock on the door of his official room with such strength and frequency except Zhang Xiangwen.

"Come in", I don't know if it is a habit that has been formed in the past two years, even if Tang Cheng's mood is so bad, when he sits in the office room and meets people, whether it is words or sitting expressions, they are instantly adjusted to their usual calm appearance.

Zhang Xiangwen pushed open the door and walked in, the weather slowly got hot, obviously he was also busy before he came here, and a thin bead of sweat appeared on his slightly flushed face.

Walking quickly to Tang Cheng's case, Zhang Xiangwen didn't say a word, first brought Tang Cheng's teacup over and poured it violently, leaned his neck and exhaled comfortably, then put down the document he was holding in his hand, "This is an urgent official document jointly signed by the Ministry of Officials and the Political Affairs Hall, it was not passed on by the post office, it was just delivered by the border army's urgent foot, big brother, look at what made such a big battle?" ”

Zhang Xiangwen came in a hurry, spoke in a hurry, and even the sound of his physical strength after calming down his trot was also urgent, all in all, his urgency and the reddish young face, as well as the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, were all undisguised and full of vitality, looking at this second brother who was not much younger than himself, Tang Cheng clearly felt a sense of vitality.

"You are now also the eight-pin county lieutenant who is prepared by the ministry, and you are still so 'Mao' and 'Mao' irritable!" When he said this, Tang Cheng felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, and Zhang Xiangwen did not refute when he heard this, and stuffed the official document into Tang Cheng's hand with a dead smile as he did in Shannan Dongdao in the past.

Dismantled the fire paint and took out the official document, but the things written on it were simple, and the political affairs hall lifted the derogation of Kong Qi and others in the convection official village. The officials want to transfer them back to Beijing to listen to the use, and at the same time as the supervision task of the Longmen County government is lifted, it is necessary to inform me of this news, and advance the expenses required all the way to send them properly on the way back to the south, in addition to taking care of the families of Kong Jue and others who will return to Beijing later.

The letter to Li Longji that day was finally not written in vain, and the matter of Kong Jue and these people has now been settled! After reading it, Tang Cheng casually handed the official document to Zhang Xiangwen.

Zhang Xiangwen has been here for a short time and doesn't know the origin of Kong Jue and others, so after reading the official document, he was surprised and said: "What are the origins of these people, how can they actually alarm the political affairs hall?" ”

"I'll leave this matter to you, you have to go to Liuguan Village in person", Tang Cheng waved his hand and motioned to Zhang Xiangwen, who was about to ask, to listen to him, "You will know everything if you take this official document to Mr. Yang, remember, you can't be a little negligent with these people, especially in terms of etiquette, and strive to leave a good impression on them, and you will have benefits in the future." It's better to report the good news as soon as possible, so you can go! ”

"Okay, I will definitely serve them comfortably as you said", as soon as he arrived in front of Tang Cheng, Zhang Xiangwen couldn't stand it anymore, salivated and smiled and turned to leave, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said: "Big brother, I look at the look on your face is not very good, if you are tired, go back to the Houya to rest, you are the respect of a county, even if you are occasionally absent from business, who would dare to compare with you?" ”

After Zhang Xiangwen left, Tang Cheng sat quietly for a while, and suddenly raised his hand without warning and patted it on the envelope of the official document, "The sky can't fall, no matter how unlucky you are, there is always good news!" While muttering to himself, I saw him slap his backhand heavily on his face, "Go to *** nihilism!" ”

Because of this urgent document, Zhang Liang postponed the time for his departure, and now that he has the opportunity to walk with Kong Qi and others, how can he let it go, get along for thousands of miles day and night, how many words can he say?

In the next few days, Tang Cheng put down all the government affairs and was busy with this matter, as small as mobilizing the best tailor in the county to prepare to make clothes, and summoning Lang Zhong Kong Qi and others to check his body in a centralized manner; From the carriage to the long journey, as well as the preparation of all kinds of things in the carriage, Tang Cheng arranged everything by himself. When the dozen or so carriages that looked ordinary on the outside were ready, Zhang Xiangwen also welcomed Liuguancun and others to the county seat.

Needless to say, all in all, there is really nothing dissatisfaction with all the arrangements of Tang Cheng These dead wood and spring officials really have nothing to dissatisfaction with, they thought of Tang Cheng thought of it, and Tang Cheng also thought of what they didn't expect, including their long journey, including the family arrangements that they couldn't travel together for the time being, and what is even more rare is that this thing Tang Cheng did is really very appetizing to these readers, everything is comfortable but not ostentatious at all, even if he has done so many things, When facing him, he can still have the feeling of a gentleman's friendship as light as water.

Counting the unbearable years of Longmen demotion in the past few years, they don't have many good memories, and the Tang Cheng in front of them is undoubtedly the best one.

Where is the return journey, the long pavilion and the short pavilion!

Outside the south gate of Longmen County, ten miles of long pavilion.

In the long pavilion specially built for farewell, Kong Qi and others listened to the lyrics of the kabuki.

When the Tang people say goodbye, as long as the conditions are acceptable, they will summon the kabuki to accompany the long song to drink as a send-off, but the usual farewell words are either sad or farewell, and it is vulgar to listen to it too much. The reason why this trickster in front of him can also attract Kong Jue is not because of her appearance, although her appearance can really be called a "beauty".

What attracted Kong Jue and others was her beautiful singing skills, and it was also an unheard of farewell song.

It's summer, everything is sprouting green, ten miles away from the pavilion is hidden in a beautiful landscape with only indescribable painting, from the pavilion in the middle of the graceful posture of the seven weaving to change the tactful singing voice of the past, and sang out a gloomy and bold words with all his heart:

The gold bottle sake bucket is ten thousand, and the jade plate is shy and ten thousand dollars.

I couldn't eat when I stopped throwing my cup, and I was at a loss when I drew my sword and looked around.

If you want to cross the Yellow River and ice congestion river, you will climb the snow-filled mountains of Taihang.

Idle fishing on the blue river, suddenly take a boat to dream of the sun.

The road is difficult, the road is difficult, the road is divergent, and now it is safe.

There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea!

With the long song of Qiweaving, the thoughts of Kong Jue and others suddenly sprouted from the banquet in front of them, and the experience of several years irrepressibly flashed back to their hearts one by one, the prominent eunuchs before the demotion of officials, and the life of ten thousand golden bottles of sake; Once a disaster fell from the sky, thousands of miles away, after the drop stopped, the cup was thrown and the spoon could not be eaten; In the past two years or so, when I think of everything in the past, how do I want to cross the Yellow River and the ice-filled river, and the despair of climbing the snow-covered mountains! When I look back on the life and career I have gone through again and again, I have how many difficult and difficult ways to walk! Huan Hai is evil, it is difficult to be a man, and it is even more difficult to be an official!

Finally keep the clouds open and see the moon, the days of a Chinese year are over, the cold heart is hot again, this time the Holy Son of Heaven is called back to the imperial capital, the future days will be like the cloud sail giant ship long wind and waves straight to the sea!

After a song, when the lingering sound has been exhausted, Kong Jue put down the wine bottle and got up leisurely, "Bosom friends are hard to find, but only this song Mingfu has exhausted the meaning of mountains and rivers, the song has been exhausted, and the wine has also been exhausted, it is time to leave, let's go!" ”

When Tang Cheng was about to get up to send them to the car, Kong Jue smiled and pressed his hand on him, and then walked towards the row of carriages under the pavilion first.

After returning to the city from the Ten Mile Long Pavilion, Tang Cheng's carriage drove directly to the Longmen Inn.

Still in the small courtyard at the innermost part of the inn, Tang Cheng, Jia Zixing and Tu Yezhuo got together.

Jia Zixing and Tu Yezhuo's faces were very solemn, and for a while, there was a relative silence in the whole room.

After waiting to eat up a cup of tea, seeing that no one spoke, Tang Cheng put the empty tea cup on the table next to him, "Rao Le's situation is like this, we have to have a way to deal with it, since you don't say it, then follow mine", and then clearly laid out the regulations that he had thought about a few days ago.

Hearing that Tang Cheng was going to let him open the border and allow thousands of Tiancheng troops to enter, Tu Yezhuo's already solemn face changed again, not only him, but Jia Zixing, who was sitting next to him, also had a difficult "color".

Seeing them like this, Tang Cheng looked at Tu Yezhuo and smiled coldly: "Rao Le's side is really a big fight, don't say that the current business, the Longmen Grassland can't be saved, and to this day, the Tuye patriarch still has the heart to play with a small abacus, hum, admire!" ”

After finishing this sentence, Tang Cheng didn't wait for Tu Yezhuo to answer, and continued to turn his head to Jia Zixing and sneered: "Now Lord Duwei earns more in a month in Longmen County than the imperial court gives him a year, and Lord Duwei is also happy when he takes the money, why is it difficult now!" Hey, Master Jia, don't forget, once Longmen suffers, it will not only cut off your financial route, but also the livelihood of those thousands of brothers, and they will also point to their families to move to Longmen County."

"You ......", eating people with a short mouth and soft hands, Jia Zixing's anger finally turned into a helpless sigh in Tang Cheng's cold eyes, "You don't know, two days ago, the Dadu Governor's Mansion just had a military order down, strictly ordering the Tiancheng Army to guard the Suoyang Pass tightly, and not to 'interfere' in the matter of Raofun"

"Suoyang Pass naturally has to be guarded, but there are no less than 8,000 people and horses piled up on this pass", Tang Cheng didn't let go of half a step, "I just borrowed those thousands of idle people and horses to put on a show on the Longmen grassland, Longmen County is the training place of the Tiancheng army, when the situation is urgent, it is also a natural thing for adults to take soldiers and horses to the Longmen grassland to train and ride to 'shoot', how is it a matter of 'interfering' with pleasure?" ”

Tang Cheng's current appearance only reminded Jia Zixing of the scene when the two first met in Baiyang Town, and now he is even more dangerous than then, this point has been shown in his eyes, this is a person who dares to do anything risky in order to achieve his goal, Jia Zixing has no doubt that as long as he shakes his head and refuses now, Tang Cheng will definitely be able to do something to encourage the Tiancheng Army to mutiny, there are so many ladders in Xigu, he has this capital!

The thoughts in his mind turned sharply, and Jia Zixing finally gritted his teeth and said: "That's it, just do as you say, Lao Tzu personally took 4,000 men and horses to the Longmen Grassland, but there is one I have to say that I am ahead, and it is okay to fight, but the headquarters will not fight with Rao Lexi, unless there is a military order from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, it will not work under any circumstances."

"You are! We are all in the same boat, and I can still watch with my own eyes that Lord Du Lieutenant lost his official position for violating military orders", Tang Cheng laughed a few times and then turned around, "Patriarch Tuye, it's time for Ding Zhuang, who can ride 'shooting' in your clan, to move, since you have to be strong enough to be able to shake people." In addition, it is time for you to have a relationship with Rao Le for many years, so it is better to know any news as soon as possible! ”

A few days later, 8,000 people of the Tiancheng Army poured out, leaving 4,000 people stationed under the Suoyang Pass, and the remaining 4,000 people went straight to the outside of the pass without stopping, and rushed all the way to the Longmen grassland under the personal leadership of Jia Zixing, the commander of the capital.

The desolate sound of the horn sounded everywhere on the Longmen grassland, and one by one, Ding Zhuang put down the whip in his hand, picked up the bow and knife that had been sharpened last winter, and gathered in the patriarch's tent.

Eight days after the meeting of the day, a cavalry team of nearly 10,000 people had gathered by the boundary river separated from Raole in the Longmen Grassland.
