Because Fang Wucheng is located in the north of the desert, the sky is relatively hot, and mosquitoes are raging, so this wormwood has become extremely precious. Moreover, the green wormwood produced here can be said to be green in color and strong in flavor, with small leaves and stems, and the quality is extremely outstanding. The wormwood produced is exported to Chang'an and surrounding states.

This wormwood has always been admired in the hearts of the ancients. Like them, they call the elders, and they call them "Ai"; To describe the beauty of young people, Ai is also used, called "Shao Ai"; In the "Book of Songs", even maintenance is not called maintenance, it is called "Bao Ai"; In "Historical Records", it is written as "Ai'an".

The reason why it has such a high reputation is entirely because the effect of this thing is really extraordinary. In this era when there are no mosquito coils and no toilet water, if you want to resist the raging mosquitoes, this wormwood should be second to none. And because this thing has a special fragrance, it is made into a pillow, and it also has the effect of sleeping and relieving fatigue.

Even the whole herb can be used as medicine, which has the effects of warm menstruation to stop bleeding, dissipate cold and relieve pain, relieve asthma and cough, stabilize the fetus, and anti-allergies.

And what this Fang Wucheng produced was the Northern Ai among the four famous Ai, and it was precisely because of the preciousness of this thing that they would use this to welcome Qin Ze.

But......

This love is too heavy for him to bear.

Moreover, this Yang County's attitude of constantly toasting also made Qin Ze a little dissatisfied in his heart. This is clearly a kind of persecution, the waist pole of the literati has always been precious, and people voluntarily lower their posture, and you naturally can't ignore it, which is also a kind of common sense.

So to put it bluntly, the other party just wanted to give Qin Ze a dismount and swear his sovereignty. If it was in Chang'an, there were literati who made such a big gift, and Qin Ze could only bear it.

But when I got to Qin Ze......

Hehe, the emperor is far away here, as long as there are no big guys in Chang'an, Qin Ze will still be a yarn.

At the moment, he also took over the Qingai wine from Yang County, but he didn't drink it at all, but poured it directly on the ground.

This moment can make everyone stunned, those who were originally full of joy on their faces also stopped waving Qing Ai in their hands in an instant, and they all stared at Qin Ze.

Yang Xian Ling also looked at Qin Ze with fascinated eyes, it was really his action that surprised them too much.

Qin Ze didn't care, and stuffed the wine bowl into Yang Xianling's hand, clearly treating him as a toasting junior.

"Liuyin Mountain, the mountain is even Liuyin Qijiazhai, and the village hangs Yin Mountain in front of the door. This is a folk song that Qin heard from your mouth. And you also know that this Liuyin Mountain has always had complex terrain and wide dark ditches. A Longjiang River in front of the village is to isolate the Qijia Village, and my two hundred soldiers fought with their lives to punish this way. This bowl of wine Qin can't afford it, so it can only be used to comfort the spirit of my soldiers in the sky. Qin Ze stared at Yang Xianling, but stretched out his hand again.

In fact, Qin Ze's lieutenant Yi Mo is just a military officer from the seventh grade, and the Yang County Commander is an official of the seventh grade, if it is really about respect and humility, this Qin Ze still has to salute the other party.

But seeing the other party like this, Qin Ze suddenly lost interest. This seemingly immense welcome ceremony is more of a perfunctory ceremony. The eight bowls of wine are said to be a thank you to Qin Ze, and it is not Yang County's oath to his power.

Qin Ze didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he stretched out his hand.

It is said that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, how can this Yang County Order be said to be a Confucian student, but after so many years of crawling and rolling here, the Confucian breath on his body has long been exhausted.

He really thought that Qin Ze was a rude man who couldn't read big words, and it wasn't that simple to fool Qin Ze.

"Why don't you drink this wine?" Qin Ze saw that he stretched out his hand, but the other party did not move. But he suddenly laughed, although at first he didn't expect to eradicate the robbers for the people, but now the other party's attitude makes him very unhappy.

"Haha, what did Deputy Lieutenant Qin say. The lieutenant led the troops to remove the big trouble in our Wuxian County, and this wine was naturally to be drunk. ”

Yang Xianling's face was gloomy, but he really didn't dare to attack. He could only obediently pick up a bowl of wine and hand it to Qin Ze......

The welcoming ceremony was very unpleasant, but Qin Ze was in high spirits. With the team, he entered Fang Wu City, and when he came in, he saw Qin Ze to know how miserable the people here were.

Before he came, he found that on the wall of this martial city, all kinds of blue bricks were mixed together, which looked very mottled. At first, Qin Ze didn't understand why, but when he entered this martial city, he immediately understood when he looked at the houses on both sides.

At this time, the houses were based on brick and stone, and the walls were made of wood. But looking at the houses in this Wucheng again, most of them have a hole in the east and a leak in the west. Presumably, the bricks underneath were removed to build the city wall, so the house could only be blocked by wooden planks.

Qin Ze couldn't see the vitality of the Tang Dynasty here, and there were no vendors doing business on the streets, only some people stood on both sides of the street, giving out lifeless cheers.

This is a dead city, years of war. This place has become full of holes, even if Qin Ze helped them encircle and suppress the robbers of Liuyin Mountain, there was not much joy on their faces.

Yes, the Turkic iron cavalry has long exhausted their last shred of vitality......

Yang Xian Ling pretended to be happy and said that he would take Qin Ze to Fang Wucheng's side upstairs for dinner. said that he wanted to express his gratitude to Fang Wucheng.

From the beginning to the end, he did not look at the robbers who had been escorted over, or the captives who had followed him. It's as if those people are transparent and not worth thinking about at all.

Qin Ze took two sharp breaths to calm himself down, and then asked Yang County Ling with a cold face how to deal with those robbers.

"The thief is the thief, the way of Confucius and Mencius, no theft or robbery, he has no evil in his body, and he can not condone it to harm us and other people. Deputy Lieutenant Qin doesn't have to worry, although our Wucheng is transferred, the executioner in the execution field will never lose half a point. ”

Qin Ze could see the anger in Yang Xianling's eyes, not only hatred for these robbers, but also anger at Qin Ze's disrespect.

But Qin Ze ......

Ignore him at all.

I don't know if I can sneer twice, Qin Ze asked himself again: "I don't know how the Yang County Order is going to deal with those captured girls?" ”

"Men and women are courteous, prudent in their ministry, clear from inside and outside, and impure, this is what Confucius and Mencius said. Chaste and pure, resolute and unyielding. If you think you are innocent, you will naturally be regarded as unclean. Being a maid and a lonely wife is the best destination. If Deputy Lieutenant Qin didn't dislike such uncleanness, it would be necessary to keep it for military use. ”

The words of Yang County's order are very simple, that is, these people are already unclean people. In the view of a Confucian scholar like him, a woman must defend her chastity with her life. And the best fate for these people to stay here is to act as someone else's servant, or they are expelled together, and then die alone.

Don't think it's inconceivable, in this day and age, even if a woman is defiled, people's first reaction is not to catch the perpetrator. Rather, he condemned why the woman did not commit suicide at that time to prove her innocence.

It is useless to use the concept of equality in later generations here, Qin Ze has a deep understanding of this, so when he heard Yang Xianling say this, although he felt that his heart was on fire, he did not have a seizure.

After a few people followed Yang County's order to the annex building, Qin Ze saw that there were several other people here, all of whom were fat-headed, big-eared, silky, brocade-clothed, and mink-fur. There are two great contrasts with the poor people outside.

When Qin Ze came, there were already more than a dozen side dishes on the table.

The sweet and attractive scarlet brown and crispy yellow and red sheep branches, the sweet and glutinous and fragrant fish with white meat and white meat are sucked with milk......

A large table filled the room with a rich fragrance. Although they are all boiled and steamed, they are also delicious.

Seeing Qin Ze coming, those who were waiting here also greeted him, and they all did not hesitate to pay attention to the pen and ink in their stomachs, and began to praise Qin Ze.

Yang County Ling also began to introduce him, pointing at these people and saying: "This is the shopkeeper of the Fuhe grain shop in Longzhou, this is the carpenter of my Wucheng, this is the ......"

Five or six people were all well-known businessmen in this martial city, but Qin Ze stood there with cold eyes, looking like no one was going to approach.

Maybe the other party saw that Qin Ze's face was not good, and the other party also beckoned Qin Ze to sit down, and then poured wine for Qin Ze diligently.

On the other side, Fang Wucheng exploded at this time, and it was still the Liu blacksmith's house in the west of the city at first. His daughter was kidnapped by robbers in Qijiazhai three months ago, and he thought that he had already died, but he didn't want to come back now.

The neighbors were all standing on the street looking this way, and Liu Lankou was teary-eyed, constantly calling the names of her parents, but the door was closed or not open.

It was her little sister who quietly stuck her head out of the window, but as soon as she called her eldest sister, she was pulled back.

"Father, mother, and daughter know that you dislike me, but my daughter only wants to see you two when she comes back this time. Open the door, and I'll ......leave as soon as you can see me."

Speaking of which, Liu Lankou couldn't cry anymore, she could bear the pain in her body, and even when she was tortured, she didn't say a word. But now in the face of this familiar home, she can't help it anymore.

No matter how much she pleaded, there was a dead silence inside, and she refused to open the door.

"Hmph, the sister of the Liu family will get out of the way first." The veteran who was following couldn't stand it, and when he came, Qin Ze explained to them that if the other party dared not open the door, he would break in directly. He was responsible for the accident.

With this sentence in front, he will hesitate. At that moment, he flew out with a kick, and when he heard a bang, the door of the Liu family was kicked out by him.

This rough scene directly scared the people nearby. Where is this still an army, this is clearly no different from a robber.

Suddenly, everyone hurriedly dodged, for fear that the other party would be unhappy and would anger themselves.

The door was kicked open, and the five members of the Liu family couldn't hide. The little sister of the Liu family was covered by her eldest brother to prevent her from making a sound, and the third brother of Liu Lankou was shrunk in the corner.

Horror and uneasiness were written on everyone's faces......

Liu Lankou is the second in the family, and the next is this younger brother and the youngest sister. Now that the door was kicked open, everyone was stunned for a moment and was actually broken free by Liu Xiaomei, and suddenly threw herself into her arms.

"Big Sister ......"

As soon as a child's voice sounded, Liu Lankou burst into tears......
