(a)

This man is chanting a poem by Yuefu, to the effect that the man broke out of the east gate and did not want to go home. Because as soon as I entered the house, I was faced with the dilemma of no rice in the urn and no clothes on the shelf, which was both melancholy and sad. The man drew his sword and went out, as if he wanted to take a risk. The child's mother saw that the situation was not right, and pulled the man to cry, saying that other people's families want to be rich, I don't want to be rich, but I want to eat porridge with you to live.

"You have a blue sky above you, a child below, and the current government is clean and honest. Don't break the law. You must love yourself and don't do evil! His wife reminded him again and again. The man still insisted on going his own way: "I'm leaving!" I'm late! The woman could only reluctantly admonish, "Then you go safely, I hope you come back soon." ”

Wei Changfeng suddenly felt that the poem was so familiar.

In fact, this poem is just saying four words: the government forces the people to rebel.

Are all those who take risks all lawless people born with great evil? Don't they really want a peaceful life? "Honest now", hehe, if it is really "honest now", who made people "have no rice reserves in Anzhong, and there are no hanging clothes on the shelf"? And who made people draw their swords and risk them so that their wives and children would not starve to death?

Wei Changfeng couldn't help but sigh.

The chief in the hall immediately stopped, only to hear the man say: "Rare guests enter the door, the old Tao has never greeted each other, forgive sins." ”

Wei Changfeng originally wanted to leave, but since he opened his mouth, it was not easy to turn around and leave, and replied: "On a whim, I came in without having time to inform Daoist Lu, sorry, sorry." ”

The Taoist in the door smiled and walked out.

Wei Changfeng saw that this person was about thirty years old, with a thin face, and he was wearing a simple Taoist robe, although the robe was not luxurious but very clean, with two patches in the wrong eyes, thinking that the Donghu people had occupied Liaoyuan for a long time, and naturally no one came to this Taoist temple, and this Taoist priest was afraid that he was very poor.

The Taoist priest went out to see a Han army general, and immediately arched and said: "The wind of the poor road is rising, I don't know the general is coming, the general enters the door, and it is shining, please come in and talk about it." ”

At this time, Wei Changfeng just didn't want to go in, he had to go in, he entered the side hall, and saw that the indoor furniture, beds and chairs were all available, which was no different from ordinary people, and said with a smile: "The life of the Taoist chief is also in order." ”

Fengqi Dao Chang smiled and said: "Whether it is a Taoist priest or a common person, they all want to dress and eat people, but how can anyone not eat the fireworks in the world." ”

Wei Changfeng saw that this Taoist priest was talking extraordinary, so he couldn't help but be interested, sat down with the Taoist priest, and asked: "Feng Qi Daoist, I see that the couplet in front of the door is very good, so come in and take a look." I wonder what the meaning of that couplet is? ”

Feng Qi replied, "It doesn't mean much. In fact, it is just a perverse meaning. ”

Wei Changfeng was surprised and asked, "How can it be perverse?" ”

Feng Qi replied slowly: "Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature." The way of heaven encompasses all things, but today's world is full of slaughter, and the couplet of the poor way is just saying that in today's world, it is already chaotic and contrary to the way of heaven, and sooner or later it will come over. ”

The more Wei Changfeng listened, the more he felt that this Fengqi Daoist was different, which was different from those Taoist priests who pretended to be gods and ghosts to make a dojo to cheat some food, and also different from those Taoist priests who were obsessed with classics and followed the rules step by step, this Taoist seemed to have a taste of penetrating heaven and earth. I couldn't help but talk slowly with the head of the wind and the road.

The two of them talked about the way of the world today, and most of the views of the Feng Qi Dao Chief were the same as Wei Changfeng's, and they were always good at speaking, and Wei Changfeng unconsciously talked with the Feng Qi Dao Chang for most of the hour. Although Wei Changfeng still had a lot of heart to talk about it again, he had no choice but to think about the affairs of the army, so he had to get up and say: "It's very pleasant to talk to the Taoist chief, but Wei still has important things to do in the army, so he has to leave." ”

Feng Qi Dao Chang's expression changed, and he exclaimed: "Could it be that the general is the head of the guard?" ”

Wei Changfeng was secretly amused, thinking about how long he had been talking, this Fengqi Dao Leader didn't ask his name, and now he remembered that it was Wei Changfeng who reported himself, it seems that this long eye can see thousands of miles, but he can't look at the size, and nodded at the moment: "Exactly." ”

Feng Qi Dao Chang clapped his hands, Ha Lu Ha smiled, and said: "Lao Dao has lived alone for a long time, and even the people are a little rusty, if only I had asked General Wei's name earlier." ”

Wei Changfeng had some doubts in his heart, thinking that he had never known each other when he met this Dao Chang for the first time, but Feng Qi Dao Chang meant as if he had been looking for him.

Feng Qi Dao Chang ignored Wei Changfeng's expression, only said "The general is not to be treated", and went out in a hurry.

Wei Changfeng was strange in his heart, seeing that Feng Qi Dao Chang was just in a hurry when he went out, the door was not closed tightly, and he looked along the crack in the door, only to see Feng Qi Dao Chang hurriedly walked to the door of the left hall, opened the door of the left hall, and pulled out a horse from inside.

Wei Changfeng was even more strange, he didn't know what the purpose of raising a horse was in this place that seemed to be just a pile of debris.

The wind started and pulled the horse out, and prepared a saddle on the horse's back, and the horse raised its neck with its hooves and neck, and it seemed very comfortable, thinking that it had been locked in the palace for a long time, and it always wanted to run but could not get it.

(2) Feng Qi Dao Chang prepared his horse, turned around to invite Wei Changfeng, and smiled at Wei Changfeng: "I have heard the general's name for a long time, like thunder. The general's heart of worrying about the country and the people can be seen every day. I just heard that the general was tired of fighting, but lacked a capable horse, I heard that the general of the previous war was tired of horses and failed to capture the enemy chieftain, the old way had the intention to give this horse away, but there was no chance, today I saw it, it was really the will of heaven, and I hope that the general will accept this horse, and the right to do his part for the righteousness of heaven and earth. ”

Wei Changfeng saw that the horse was also smooth and in good spirits, but he really couldn't see any difference from ordinary horses, except for some spirit, it seemed to be inferior to ordinary war horses, I think it was because Feng Qidao didn't know how to maintain it. I think this Taoist is really not good at horses, so he finds a horse that is better than a bad horse and thinks it is a good horse.

He immediately replied: "Thank you for the love of the Taoist chief, there are already horses under the Dao, and it is better for the Taoist to use this horse for his own use, and he does not dare to plunder the beauty below." ”

Feng Qi Dao Chang smiled and said, "The general doesn't have to be too humble. The old way is really not good for raising horses, this horse is mostly used to pull firewood and rice sundries, it is really wronged by this good horse, not to mention the daily cost of forage, the old road is really a little unable to raise this horse. The general should not look at this horse as ordinary, and when he needs it, the general will know its benefits. Lao Dao's move is really a promise from God, and I hope the general will accept it. ”

Wei Changfeng saw the sincerity of what the Taoist said, and thought that this old Taoist was sincere, it seemed that he really regarded this horse as a peerless good horse, he gave this horse to himself, but he also wanted to do his part to help the Han army, not looking at how this horse was, just looking at this piece of heart had to be accepted, so he had to nod and replied: "Since the Taoist is so sincere, Wei Mou has thanked him a lot." Today is really in a hurry, there is no time to worship the gods on the incense, tomorrow I will send someone to send some light gifts, and ask the Taoist to help Wei on a few pillars of incense. ”

In fact, Wei Changfeng didn't have much interest in worshipping God on incense, but he accepted other people's "good horses", but he just thanked him with an empty mouth, but it was really not like words, so he used the excuse to say incense, and planned to send someone to send dozens of taels of silver tomorrow, and he was the right to thank Yi.

When Feng Qi Dao Changfeng heard Wei Changfeng say this, he also understood the deep meaning, but since Wei Changfeng was under the banner of incense, he was not easy to refuse, but said: "Thank you for this, general." The incense is only in mind, and a pillar of fragrance is sincere, and it is not too much to spend. ”

Wei Changfeng smiled, thinking to himself Of course you want to say this, but I can't do this, thank Feng Qidao Chief, and then rode this "good horse", led the reins of the horse he was riding, and went all the way to the barracks.

At this time, people came and went on the streets of Liaoyuan, and the people were oppressed for many years, this time it was the first time that they finally walked on the street with their eyebrows raised, not to mention the young and strong men, the white-haired old man, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law also ran to the street, not for anything else, just for the comfort of the heart. Every time these people saw a Han officer or soldier passing by, they immediately surrounded the generals, and many of them delivered water and food, and they had to talk about it even if it was not good.

Wei Changfeng was dressed in a general's uniform, not only riding a horse but also leading a horse, this disguise was really conspicuous enough, and the people came up one after another, cheering, thanking, sending tea, and there were some women who were squeezing forward, what do you want to do, God knows you know I know.

Wei Changfeng slowly moved forward while entertaining, thinking that when would it be a head if he continued like this, according to this way, he would not be able to reach the barracks for another hour.

He was moving himself, but a woman next to him squeezed to his horse, making a gesture, and called "Brother Wei" as soon as she opened her mouth, and was about to pull the saddle and get on the horse. Wei Changfeng thought that this could not be done, and hurriedly stopped it, but this negligence forgot to look ahead.

In front of a young woman with a three or four-year-old child watching the excitement, the child saw that it was very lively, refused to let the mother hold, struggling to get off the ground, the young woman was also tired of hugging, so she let the child go to the ground, but only looked at the excitement, forgot to take care of the child for a while, the child saw Wei Changfeng's horse is very interesting, the child understands what, smiled and shook his calf to meet the horse and walked over.

When Wei Changfeng and the young woman found out, it was too late, and seeing that the child was about to be knocked down by the horse, Wei Changfeng and the young woman screamed at the same time.

At this moment, the horse suddenly moved, staggered its hooves, moved sideways to one side, and actually let the child go, and went around the child and continued to move forward.

The child was very amused when he saw that the tall horse's legs were actually moving sideways, and he clapped his hands and laughed, but the young woman's face turned pale with surprise, and she grabbed the child and refused to let go.

Wei Changfeng was also shocked, holding the reins tightly, and couldn't help but admire Ma Da. It is not said whether this horse is a good horse or not, but it is not false to say that it understands human nature. What other horse in the world can do this? Even if a horse did not dare to step on the child, it was just to stop, but the horse moved sideways, neither stepping on the child, nor delaying the walk, this kind of miraculous power is really amazing.

Wei Changfeng listened to everyone's admiration, "Our Han people's horses know how not to hurt Han people", but he was already determined to try this horse first, if the speed of this horse is acceptable, he will not change to other horses.
