Li Xuan stood on the bamboo tower in this box, and slowly gave birth to the idea of recruiting Kong Sheng to serve under the account of King Yu, and over there, Kong Sheng concentrated his mind and put his sword into the sheath, with a calm expression.

He looked up at the sky, and a few soft snowflakes fell and fell on his cheeks, a little clammy and cold.

The snow is still falling. Kong Sheng let out a sigh of relief, after a burst of snow yesterday, it was followed by a small snow like reeds, a small piece, a small piece, although it was not raining, but it could grind people to death. He suddenly remembered the description of Jiang Nanxue by the literary giant of later generations-

"The snow in the south of the Yangtze River is so moist and beautiful; It was the news of youth that was still faintly faint, and it was the skin of a very strong virgin. There are blood-red Baozhu camellia in the snow field, a single-petaled plum blossom with hidden blue in white, and a wax plum blossom with a deep yellow chime; There are also cold green weeds under the snow......"

"The snow in Jiangnan has always been full of excitement and life, but it rarely lasts as long, right? It is all over the world, and it is no different from the snow in the north. ”

A crisp voice came from Kong Sheng's ears, and he didn't need to turn his head to immediately realize that it was Li Xuan, a young man in Chinese clothes who was suspected of being a woman disguised as a man, who he met in Wu Tingzhong yesterday.

"The snow for a day and a night blocked the official road and blocked the path of our merchants, which was really troublesome. However, in the eyes of a scholar like Kong Gongzi, this should be a poetic beauty, right? Li Xuan said again, and had already walked to Kong Sheng's side.

He had a moaning chuckle on his face, and his eyes glistened with a vague glow.

"It turned out to be Li Gongzi, and you also live in this inn? That's a coincidence. Kong Sheng turned around slowly, with a faint expression, and arched his hand to Li Xuan, "Ruixue Zhaofeng year, the snow in my eyes is actually not poetic, it just means that the farmers will definitely have a good harvest next year." ”

"Ruixue Mega Year?" Li Xuan was surprised.

Kong Sheng said in his heart: Is it possible that this agricultural proverb has not been spread now? Looking at Li Xuan's surprised performance, it should be the first time I have heard of it.

Li Xuan arched his hand and smiled: "What is Ruixue Zhaofeng Year, I don't understand it very well, and I ask Brother Kong to teach me!" ”

This probably means that after a heavy snowfall, the fields are covered with a thick quilt, and the heat in the field is not easy to dissipate, so as to protect the crops from freezing. In addition, when the snow melts and infiltrates the soil, the eggs that have been overwintered are killed, and the pests are reduced, which is conducive to the growth of crops in the coming year. Kong Sheng clapped his hands and smiled slightly.

Li Xuan pondered for a moment, and then clapped his hands and praised: "Sure enough, it is a wise saying, I don't want Brother Kong to understand farming, it's really not simple!" ”

"Although Kong is a scribe, he is not a mediocre person who is not diligent in his limbs and does not distinguish between grains and grains. Kong Sheng said.

Li Xuan didn't seem to expect Kong Sheng to answer like this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, and automatically changed to a more interesting sentence: "I didn't expect Kong Gongzi to be proficient in swordsmanship, there must be a famous teacher to teach him, right?" ”

Kong Sheng smiled, his face was solemn, and he bowed to the northwest: "The family teacher is on the Qing Baiyunzi." ”

In Kong Sheng's opinion, his basic information and background, including worshipping Sima Chengzhen as a teacher, and his relationship with Miss Yangfu, etc., have long been open secrets, if Li Xuan wants to inquire, it can be said that everyone in Jiangnan Road knows about it, since this is the case, there is no need to hide it.

Li Xuan was shocked: "Sima Chengzhen? It turned out to be the senior brother of Grandmaster Sima! Kong Gongzi studied under the great master of Taoism, no wonder swordsmanship is superb. ”

The name of Sima Chengzhen, the master of the Shangqing Dynasty, is very great, and in the Tang Dynasty, almost all women and children know it. Li Xuan was able to know Sima Chengzhen, and Kong Sheng was not surprised.

For Li Xuan's praise, he smiled quietly, and said humbly: "Where can it be regarded as superb, the class has an axe to make Li Gongzi laugh." The master only passed on my set of swordsmanship, and my qualifications and comprehension are just average, and all I can do is practice diligently and strive to practice perfectly. ”

Li Xuan stared at Kong Sheng deeply: "Regarding the current situation in the world, I had a conversation with Brother Kong yesterday, but I still can't get enough of it. ”

Kong Sheng smiled secretly in his heart: Where is the meaning is still unfinished, and it is clear that it is unhappy and parted. You, a little lady dressed as a man, are proud of your heart, and you have deep-rooted prejudices against Jiangnan people and Jiangnan scholars, so you can't talk about it at all. Besides, there are different views on different positions, and there is nothing to talk about.

Kong Sheng then smiled: "To be honest, Kong is in a hurry at the moment, and he has no time to have a drink with Li Gongzi." Besides, if you are shallow in the future, how can you dare to talk about the general trend of the world? ”

Kong Sheng politely refused, Li Xuan didn't care, and continued: "The heavy snow blocks the path, and the official road is difficult, where is Brother Kong going, not hesitating to brave the snow?" ”

"North to Shouzhou." Kong Sheng waved his hand.

A hint of wonder flashed in Li Xuan's eyes: "Going north?" Now that the officials and thieves of Henan Province are fighting each other, isn't Brother Kong afraid that the fire at the city gate will affect the fish in the pond? ”

Li Xuan asked again and again, looking for the root cause, which caused Kong Sheng to be a little unhappy and suspicious. But he didn't show it, just smiled slightly, but avoided talking about it.

I'm a passerby, where am I going, and what does it have to do with you? Ignorant life, one side of the fate, why bother to explore the roots?

Li Xuan's eyes flickered, and he swallowed the words that beckoned Kong Sheng. He stared at the back of Kong Sheng stepping back to the room in the snow, and a strange light appeared on his face.

This person is going north to leave Jiangnan? A Jiangnan scholar, what is his intention to go north to the Central Plains? Li Xuan stood in the snow, guessing in his heart that his servant Li An quietly came behind him, but he didn't dare to interrupt his thoughts.

Not long after, Li Xuan saw Kong Sheng and the four of them carrying their bags, leading their horses to settle the bill and leaving the inn, along the snowy road, out of the city.

Li Xuan stomped his feet, and the snow splashed under his feet: "Li An, give the order to go down, mobilize our convoy to escort us, and immediately leave the city and leave Runzhou, and go north to Shouzhou!" ”

Li An was taken aback: "Childe, at the moment, the snow is covering, the road is difficult to travel, our convoy is huge, and it is difficult to go on the road in the snow, I am afraid that there will be a lot of inconvenience." ”

"You can still travel while the snow has melted, but when the snow melts and the sky clears, the road is muddy and even more difficult. Now that Pengcheng is short of food and time is pressing, we can't afford to delay here any longer. Li Xuan waved his hand: "Mobilize the convoy and hurry immediately!" ”

The master insisted on this, and Ang Lee had no choice. He had to leave the inn in a hurry, and gave the order to let his own grain convoy scattered in several carriage and horse shops in the city go out of the city one by one, and turn the pieces into a whole.

Within half an hour, a huge caravan composed of dozens of guards and more than 100 carts appeared on the official road outside the city and began to move forward, waving the banner of the Jiangbei Shunfeng Firm.
