Between the Zhongshan mausoleum, the snow-white mountain forest, at this moment a gust of wind blows, and here is the cemetery of the dead, which is particularly eerie and terrifying.

Li Congqing looked at it, it was snow-white, and the high and low buildings were listed among them, and it was even quieter in the snow.

The eaves and teeth are pecked, and the snowflakes on the tiles have been blown off by the wind, Chen Qiao listened to Li Congqing's words, and at the same time he did not take Li Congqing's words to heart, but after listening to the situation in Runzhou, Chen Qiao was also dumbfounded, he understood Lin Renzhao's personality, in Chen Qiao's mind, Lin Renzhao was strong and resolute by nature, strong in martial arts, known as Lin Huzi, and was a rare handsome talent in the army, and he regarded this general very seriously.

It's just that at the moment, the king of the prison country Qi seems to have complaints about Lin Renzhao, and I heard that the emperor Fu Jixun who was sent was also cut off, Chen Qiao said: "Prison country, Huangfu Jixun has an enmity with Lin Huzi, who doesn't know who in the court, and although this person acts a little rude, but he is as careful as dust, this time out of Beijing may have other things?" ”

"Hmph, the forbidden army sent by this king was ambushed outside the city and the whole army was wiped out, and later this king even sent the forbidden army to go to Runzhou to ask for the guilt, but Lin Renzhao killed the old general Huangfu, and the rest of the people and horses were all taken over by Lin Renzhao's subordinates, Chen Qiao Chen, do you think there will be any misunderstanding in this?" Li Congqing's face turned red, and the spit star sprayed in front of Chen Qiao.

Chen Qiao still had a trace of illusion in his heart, he didn't wipe his face because of Li Congqing's spit, he breathed a sigh of relief and suggested Li Congqing: "If it is as the prison country said, then this Lin Renzhao really can't stay?" Prison country, now that my Datang is employing people, why not go to Runzhou to appease Lin Renzhao? ”

The most important thing in the five dynasties and ten countries is the arrogant soldiers, Chen Qiao is a civil official, since ancient times, especially in this era, the emperor is like a seedling in the field, changing stubble after stubble, faster than the time for the wheat seedlings in the field to grow, Chen Qiao understands and knows the harm of the military generals in chaos, but he doesn't think so about Lin Renzhao, but at the moment, if he can be appeased, he will be appeased, and if he can be reconciled, he will be reconciled, and when the time comes, he will talk about discord.

Li Congqing listened to Chen Qiao's words, he valued peace and wanted to act as a peacemaker, but now something like this has happened in Zhongshan, which makes Li Congqing even more uneasy, he feels that there is someone behind this who is sabotaging and deliberately doing it. The more Li Congqing thought about it, the more strange it became, and he always felt that there was someone behind all this. He plans to return to Jinling City, let Ouyang Yuntian and others secretly help him find the black hand behind this, as for Zhongshan's side, it is impossible to be buried, Li Congqing can't agree to it in his heart, and Zhao Dezhao, who disappeared without a trace, is also a big problem, like a fish in his throat.

Chen Qiao saw that Li Congqing was thinking about things, he understood what Li Congqing was thinking, and he didn't ask much for a while, but said: "Prison country, now the matter of the first king, the burial can only be postponed, and the coffin will be temporarily placed here, and the burial ceremony will be carried out after the construction is completed." ”

Li Congqing listened to Chen Qiao's words, and only said helplessly: "According to Master Chen's words, I will leave today, as for Lin Renzhao, this king will make a decision after consulting with the ministers of the court." ”

"Since the prison country thinks so, without further ado, we will leave after noon."

Li Congqing suddenly remembered that something was wrong at this time, so he hurried back to the room.

Turning the corridor, Li Congqing looked from afar, and saw that Li Yannian was still waiting at the door, but he was hunched up, standing like a weak wind supporting a willow, his eyes flashing.

Seeing Li Congqing coming over, Li Yannian immediately bowed his hand and said, "Li Yannian has seen the prison country. ”

When Li Congqing saw Li Yannian, his heart was stunned, and he remembered the incident that had happened last night and this morning, but Li Congqing found that he couldn't raise his angry expression, not to mention that Li Yannian may have been in the palace with him for many years, and he still has feelings, as for that matter, he also enjoyed different pleasures, in this society, as long as it does not violate the great defense of men and women, it will not hurt, not only the doctor of the scholar, the good of Longyang between the nobles, and the habit of breaking sleeves is also normal. He saw that Li Yannian was very good-eyed and quite lovable, so he said: "Forget about this matter, this king is not to blame." ”

"Thank you." Li Yannian raised his head and looked at Li Congqing with watery eyes.

Li Congqing lifted Li Yannian's chin and said, "Are you free tonight?" ”

——

After noon, the sun was more dazzling, the earth was white, the whole world was clear, and hope was sown over the field.

The beggars had all woken up this morning after a good night's sleep.

They had already packed their bags early in the morning, and were standing outside the mountain temple enjoying the snowy scene, a piece of sunshine sprinkled on the earth, that was hope, hope was in the Jinling City, as long as they set off to Jinling City, there would be hope, so today they planned to go to the city to mortgage these things.

One of the old beggars, in order to do things well, said, "Even if we go to the mortgage shop like this, we will be suspected of being thieves by others, so why don't we let a person go to the mortgage shop and exchange these things for money?" ”

"Brother Erdan, you are the only one among us who can read and write, and those vendors in Jinling City have a lot of fancy intestines, so we can rest assured after you go." Most of these people are illiterate villagers, they have been dealing with farmland since birth, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and now only the seventeen-year-old boy in front of them can read and write, so those beggars said.

"Thank you for trusting me, I am ashamed to be on a blind date." As soon as Erdan remembered the past, he couldn't cry.

"Brother Erdan, it's not your fault." Erniu, who grew up with childhood sweethearts, has been persuading the young man in front of her, she gently raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of the boy's eyes, "Brother Erdan, don't be sad, let him pass the past, as long as the rest of our villagers are alive." ”

Erniu forgot that she was holding a piece of charcoal in her hand, and the black ash on her hand also made the dust on the corner of Erdan's eyes, and at this moment, Erdan's tearful eyes left a black mark on half of his face, like a clown, "Brother Erdan, I'm sorry, your face was soiled by me." ”

Erdan smiled: "Hehe, Erniu, your hands are so dirty." After speaking, Erdan held Erniu's hand tightly.

"Erdan, don't worry about going to Jinling City, we are waiting for you outside the city." The folks said.

However, in order to go to the detention shop smoothly and not be regarded as a beggar, the young beggar who found the things changed into a suit from the scavengers, and went to the detention shop to mortgage the remaining things. "I changed my clothes so they wouldn't think I was a beggar."

After Erdan changed his clothes, he was like a different person, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, but his thin body looked a little hasty and thin in this robe.

"Second egg." The folks shouted.

"Brother Erdan, you are so good-looking." The second girl looked at the second egg in front of her shyly, smiled and showed her teeth, she remembered that her hands were still black, and she didn't cover her mouth, in her heart, the second egg has always been so good-looking, and now she has changed into a brocade dress, she is more handsome, the girl's hazy heart is beating faster, she turned her head shyly, twisting and not looking.

Erdan turned around, he was stunned, held the hand of the girl beggar and smiled, "Erniu, am I good-looking?" ”

"Hmm, Brother Erdan is the best-looking person in the world." The second girl quickly looked at the second egg, and the goose egg face lowered and buried it in her clothes.

When Erdan was five or six years old, after he was hit on the head, he lost all his past, and the fathers and villagers in the village called him "Erdan" since he was a child, as for his real name, he forgot it, only remembered that he was a member of the Shang family, but this Erdan was also born Wenqu Xing, and those words seemed to know each other as soon as they met.

In the middle of this year, the village suffered from drought, and the villagers of the merchant village starved to death because of the famine, including the father and mother of the second egg, but the officials of the Tang State were forced to die to the death, forcing the villagers to pay taxes, this group of villagers could not stand the persecution of the officials, so they fled to the mountains and forests, and the second dog was also by chance, in order to help the villagers get justice, he killed one of the officials by mistake, and the background of this official is not small, and the background is the state official of the Tang State.

After the governor found out, he personally came forward to arrest Erdan, and after some severe torture, the originally sturdy Erdan also became scarred and weak,...... The jailer thought that he had killed the second egg, so he threw the body in a mass grave,...... Later, Erdan only knew that it was three Taoist priests who saved his life, and Erdan picked up a life.

After returning to the village, the original fields were not harvested, and the merchant village was razed to the ground because of the killing of officials by Erdan, and the remaining villagers were homeless and have become disaster victims.

Until today, Erdan has been haunted by this incident, and he feels like he has made a mistake in front of the villagers, "It's me Erdan who can't live with the villagers, if I hadn't killed the dog official by mistake, our merchant village wouldn't be like this." ”

"Okay, the dog official died and died, and you also avenged our merchant village, but you were arrested at that time, and we thought you would die in the dog officer, and I and my Hun family just wanted to collect your body, but I didn't see you return to the village safely, and I was content." The second uncle of the second egg said.

After hearing what the second uncle said, Erdan couldn't hold back his tears.

"This time I will definitely succeed in entering the city."

Erdan has already set off, and the villagers behind him have also set off to Jinling together.

The tall city wall of Jinling is particularly eye-catching on the whole earth, and the forbidden army at the city gate is also guarding the city gate and performing their duties, but it is just a scene that makes them stunned, followed by a group of beggars behind a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful brocade clothes, and the clothes worn by the young man are also of high quality, it seems that it is an official of a dignitary, a prince and a general.

After bidding farewell to the villagers, the young man asked the people around him, and with the few remaining coils in his pocket, he hired someone to transport them to the south of the city by mule cart.
