Kong Sheng's footsteps did not stop, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This Li Xuan is mean-spirited and domineering, and it can be seen at a glance that he is from a wealthy family, and he is a typical "second generation" of the young man.

Conniving at evil slaves to make trouble in the front, and being rude and rebellious in the back if they don't speculate, it shows that they are extremely domineering. With this kind of person, there is no way to be friends at all, and the wisest way is to continue to treat it as a passerby.

Mu Changfeng turned his head and glanced at Li Xuan, who was standing condescendingly by the pavilion with his hands on his chest, and suddenly chuckled in Kong Sheng's ear: "Childe, this is actually a female child dressed as a man!" Judging by her words and deeds, she is by no means a businessman! ”

Kong Sheng smiled and said nothing: It doesn't matter if he is a female or not, whether he is a businessman or not, what does it have to do with himself?

Wu Xian laughed behind him: "Kong County Order, this little guy from Pengcheng looks down on you Jiangnan scholars, in fact, what he said is also the truth." Our brothers traveled all the way with Gonggong Li, and saw that the situation in the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains was completely different, whether it was a scholar, a merchant or a peasant, they all lacked a little blood, and probably swept the snow in front of the door and did not care about the life and death of the people in the world. ”

"However, Kong County's order should report his identity to him, we know that Henan is dangerous and act, and we are loyal to the heart of serving the country, how can we allow him to blaspheme and slander?"

Wu Xie is silent, although he agrees with the words of the eldest brother in his heart, but he is not as overflowing as Wu Jie.

Kong Sheng turned over and smiled: "Boss Wu, no matter what others do, anyway, I, Kong, am rushing to the national disaster at the moment and rushing to Suiyang." As for the bloody and non-bloody, in fact, it is all nonsense on the lips, and it is their own reason to come over and in turn. However, two of them are lieutenants of the forbidden army, and now they are entering Henan with me, and there are many dangers along the way, if you regret it, you can return to Jiangning the same way. ”

Wu Xian pursed his lips: "A certain brother was ordered by Qin to escort you to Suiyang, how can he be greedy for life and afraid of death?" If you don't want to talk to a certain family, since a certain family has promised to accompany you to the post, it will never go back on its word! ”

"Oh, in that case, hurry up."

Kong Sheng clamped the horse's belly, waved the horsewhip in his hand, and chased the wind and stepped on the snow and slowly walked towards Runzhou City. Mu Changfeng whistled in the wind, slapped the horse's head suddenly, and shouted: "Wu Xianwuxie, you two don't have to chirp behind you, it's important to hurry!" ”

Xiang Wu Tingzhong, the arrogant look of the rough servant was swept away, and he bowed respectfully to Li Xuan, a young man in Chinese clothes: "Son, let's go back to the city too." ”

Li Xuan still looked at the back of Kong Sheng and his party gradually moving away, and said in a condensed voice: "Li An, the military situation was urgent before the war, and we were ordered to come to Jiangnan to sell grain and grass, if the grain and grass are properly raised, we should also leave for Pengcheng tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!" ”

"Back to Gongzi, in the past few days, a certain family has sent people to secretly buy grain and grass in Runzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiangning, and has purchased 10,000 pieces of rice." Ang Lee replied in a whisper.

Li Xuanliu's eyebrows frowned: "Only 10,000 Hu?" There are 50,000 defenders in Pengcheng, more than 100,000 people, and a little grain and rice, I'm afraid it's a drop in the bucket! ”

Li An was indignant: "Son, these grain merchants in the three states are hoarding and competing to raise the price of grain, and the price of dou rice is nearly 800 wen, and the money we have raised is limited, so we can only barely buy 10,000 hu rice -- this money is already the best effort of the prince to scatter his family wealth, no matter how much, it is really impossible to get out." ”

"Childe, in fact, the prince should order the officials of several states in Jiangnan and Huainan to raise grain and rice to support the Jiangbei army to resist thieves, this Jiangnan is a land rich in grain and rice, not to mention more, hundreds of thousands of rice can still be raised! These Jiangnan people sit and watch Jiangbei resist thieves and are indifferent, it is really hateful and hateful! ”

Li Xuan sighed faintly: "Ang Li, don't mention what you say again." If we want to mobilize grain and grass from the front line of Jiangnan and Huainan, we have to issue an edict from the imperial court, where can we do this? This Jiangnan front line has not been attacked by war, stable and rich, grain and grass are sufficient, soldiers and horses are strong, if the soldiers and horses in Jiangnan can go north to King Qin, I am afraid that the situation in Jiangbei will be reversed in an instant. ”

"But the imperial court is far away in Lingwu, the new emperor hastened to ascend the throne and become the emperor, the world is in chaos, the imperial power is declining, this corner of the south of the Yangtze River is not a day, the local officials will have the intention of preserving their strength, even if His Majesty the emperor gives an edict, I don't think it may be able to make it ......" Li Xuan raised the corner of his mouth, "Henan anti-thief, I can't count on the imperial court for the time being, and my generation is just doing his best to obey the destiny of heaven!" ”

"Okay, let's go back to the city, escort the grain truck tomorrow, and return to Pengcheng by the road of Shouzhou, and Pengcheng will send troops to meet our grain team. It's good to say at the junction of Jiangnan and Huainan, but after Shouzhou is rampant with bandits, you must not take it lightly, this trip is the life-saving food of the Pengcheng army, and there must not be the slightest mistake! ”

Li Xuan waved his hand, swept his body, swept down the pavilion, lifted the curtain of the carriage covered with snow, and got in. The maid also trotted down with a puff of smoke, and climbed into the carriage with all kinds of utensils and objects in her arms.

Li An let out a sigh of relief, strode down, shook the snow marks on the carriage, led the carriage, and walked onto the official road.

In the city of Runzhou.

Kong Sheng and his entourage entered the city, found a medium-sized inn to live in, simply used some wine and food, and then went back to their rooms to rest. After driving for most of the night, and staying up in the wilderness and ruined temples for half a night, both people and horses need to be well cared for.

According to Kong Sheng's plan, he rested in Runzhou for half a day and one night today, and then left Runzhou to run to Shouzhou the next morning. From Runzhou to Shouzhou, nearly 500 miles, it takes at least four or five days at a fast speed. After arriving in Shouzhou, decide which line to take in the three directions of Yingzhou, Caizhou and Xuzhou to enter Suiyang.

From Yingzhou into the closest, Xuzhou second, the farthest is to bypass Caizhou. But the war is raging, the rebels are in charge, and in order to ensure safety, there are times when it is necessary to make a detour.

It is difficult for Kong Sheng to sleep without distractions like Mu Changfeng or Wuxian Wuxie brothers, or like Mu Changfeng, he is half practicing and half resting, at this moment, he has too many things to think about and worry about, and the various pressures of going to Suiyang are heavy in his heart, how can he sleep?

No one knows better than him the huge risks of his trip to Suiyang to take up a job. If you don't get it right, it's not that you have a future, but that you have to lose your head. How to successfully reach Suiyang, and then how to reverse the tragic ending of the upcoming Suiyang defense battle, are like a sword of Damocles, hanging above his head.

Of course, there are opportunities, but the fighter plane is fleeting, and if you are not careful, you will never recover. But since fate has pushed him to the cusp, since he has decided to fight with God and against fate, it is his duty to never look back!

It is rare to fight a few times in life, since you want to fight once, then fight a vigorous !! If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, and it's a big deal to return this life to the thief God, I'm afraid of a bird!!

In fact, since the moment he left Jiangning, there was no turning back, and it was impossible for him to go back.

Kong Sheng lay on the soft couch and sighed secretly. He never expected that fate would play such a big joke on him, and let him go to Suiyang, the whirlpool of An Lushan's rebellion, to serve as the Songcheng County Commander of Laoshizi?! Perhaps, this is the arrangement of fate, from the moment I dreamed of the Tang Dynasty, it was already doomed.
