Chapter 14 - The Choice of Changsha City
Nothing was said all night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The next day, after the middle of the day, the foursome who had been drunk last night finally got up.
"It's all your fault, Lynch, we all said we wouldn't drink last night, you have to drink, now it's okay, I missed the morning rush time!"
The other three complained. While scrambling to ...... Put all kinds of clothes on your body.
Lynch didn't care about these people, how did he blame himself? Instead, I went to lead the horse early!
By the time they had all packed up and walked out of the inn door together, Lynch was already on his horse, urging them constantly.
"Hurry up and ......"
made the three of them depressed!
Finally, what messy luggage was thrown onto the horse...... Several people breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, they are both a little glad that they are both scholars who can ride horses, and if they meet...... Those wastes that can only ride in the car, I don't know how long it will be rubbed?
And this is also the reason why Lynch left the team of fellow villagers and resolutely merged with the three of them.
And those who can only ride...... The so-called reading people are together. If you want to rush all the way to Xiangxi, you don't know the Year of the Monkey?
Even if the imperial examination was held in the Manchu and Qing dynasties in previous years, there were people who delayed their trips on the road, resulting in jokes that they couldn't enter the examination room! Get out ...
What's more, Lynch has liked to dance with knives and guns since he was a child, so he doesn't like it even more, with which gang of nerds...... Stayed together.
After getting on the horse, Liu Shaobin, the eldest, said: "Today is a morning delay, a few brothers, let's hurry up next, otherwise I'm afraid we will miss the deadline!" ”
Several people nodded yes again and again, and then a horsewhip sounded, and the horses neighed, galloping all the way to the southwest.
Along the way, there were more and more waves of readers, but the hearts of the four of them became heavier and heavier, and the pressure in their hearts became more and more great.
Looking at this rhythm, the whole world is not ...... Only the four of you are smart people!
Can you stand out under Zhang Yun, and then gain the power of the ruling party, and then be able to realize your life's political ideals and ambitions! But it's all up to luck......
Although I don't want to say these depressing words, but looking at this southbound road, there is a lot of traffic on it, and people who are in the same direction as themselves and others, and their identities are almost the same, just a few people can see it with their own eyes.
On the way to gallop this afternoon, I met no less than 100 people!
By the time the sun was setting, the boys had finally arrived in a small market town.
"Hey... Ay...! ”
Guo Qian sighed while rubbing his buttocks.
Just when Lynch felt that the atmosphere was not good...... Just when he wanted to turn around, a large wave of complaints came to him!
After spraying each other for a while, the other three saw that Lynch was still unwilling to lower his head, so he could only give up and enter the room separately.
At the same time, it was agreed that you must get up early tomorrow morning, continue to rush to get up first, and you must call the last to get up, saying that you can't delay the journey anymore!
If it weren't for the fact that the world was not peaceful and there were bandits everywhere, Liu Shaobin would have wanted to rush ......overnight.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning. The four of them did the same work again, got up, washed and ate, and then hurried. After several people persevered, they hurried like a forced march for nearly a month.
A few brothers, you see...... In front of Changsha City, the foursome are all pleased!
Guo Qian trembled his lips and said: "This month, my son has suffered an old sin, and he has never suffered such a sin since he was born, but fortunately, he finally arrived in Changsha City, and this hard work was not in vain." ”
Several people are related!
Liu Shaobin: "A few of you, don't blame your brother for forcing you to hurry now, right?" ”
The other three shook their heads together, and Lynch's heart was also full of emotion, no matter what he and the other three did, they had no longevity.
Fortunately, Liu Shaobin has been forcing several of his people to hurry, and all methods such as agitation methods have been used up, and on the way, the three of them hated Liu Shaobin miserably.
It's just that I've been holding it in my heart and haven't said it, but now I suddenly stood under Changsha City, and the resentment in my heart seemed to have suddenly disappeared...... There was a hint of gratitude to Liu Shaobin!
Compared with the youngest Lynch, Guo Qian and the others have no resentment towards Liu Shaobin!
Instead, I remembered the countless examinees who were left behind by myself and others along the way...... Those so-called reading people who ride in the car.
Once you see the city, you will inevitably go in and stay, and you won't be able to suffer at all, so it's nothing!
It's just that the date released by Xiangxi seems to be approaching, and a few of them have already arrived in Changsha City, so of course they can be in time.
And the ones are hard to say, nine times out of ten they will even miss the date, and then there will be a kind of joke!
"Thousands of miles to catch the exam, it's coming to an end, but I can't get in the door. But it has nothing to do with the few of you..."
After a few people turned their minds in their hearts, Lynch spoke: "This road is tiring, and now I have finally arrived at Changsha City, the younger brother wants to go into the city to rest for a few days, what do the brothers think?" ”
The other two were still hesitating, and Liu Shaobin said categorically: "Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, we can't enter this Changsha City, and if we don't rush to Xiangxi, we won't reach our destination." ”
Seeing that the opinions of the two were opposite, Guo Qian and the two were caught in the middle, and they had a headache!
Whoever speaks will offend the other side, and the four of them were stunned for a while, and Liu Shaobin saw that the three of them had different opinions from him.
I was going to say something to them...... But all of a sudden, I was a little irritable, and I didn't want to say a word to them anymore!
The reason why he didn't get on the horse and galloped was to give them one last chance.
It depends on whether the three of them are smart enough...... Going into town at this time?
And it's the Hunan provincial city close to Xiangxi, how stupid should this brain be, to give birth to such an idea...!
Aren't they aware of the difficulties and dangers along the way?
As soon as the scholars went out, they were stopped back, although the Taiping army did not care about the behavior of themselves and others, but the Manchu side obviously did not think so.
There are a lot of levels set up along the way, but fortunately, I have the foresight to be able to turn danger into danger and succeed repeatedly.
But just what I saw, there were many people along the way, who were blocked back, and not only that, but some were also imprisoned.
This Hunan provincial city close to Xiangxi, if there is no Longtan tiger's den waiting for him and others in it, it is a ghost!
What's more, now that they are close to Xiangxi, those partners can be dispensable, anyway, there are no bandits on this road now.
As for the other dangers, they are just from the Manchu side, even if they are really caught, they should not be in danger of their lives, so they will not participate in this imperial examination!
And if they keep up, it is naturally the best, take care of each other to break through, this chance of success, of course, is higher than going to break the level alone, in case they don't have long eyes.
If you really enter Changsha City, you will be friends and foes from then on, according to your own inference, at this time, I am afraid that none of the scholars who go to Changsha City will be able to get out.
Seeing that Liu Shaobin didn't say a word, he left without looking back, and the remaining three looked at each other!
In this case, no one is sure of this, and Lynch has no idea of persuading him in his heart, but the bits and pieces along the way appear in his mind.
The two people next to him are like idiots, they can't get on the stage at all, maybe they read well, but this person is sophisticated! I don't know anything at all.
They can't see the danger of each level along the way, but they have a faint guess!
In this regard, Liu Shaobin is a leader, and under his clever hand, his own line of people can be said to be in danger.
You just need to endure loneliness, endure pain, and keep hurrying!
And according to the other people I saw, there were not a few who were stuck at those checkpoints on the way!
At this time, seeing that the two were still hesitating, Lynch dropped a sentence, "I'll go first"
immediately got on the horse and followed Liu Shaobin's footsteps, Liu Shaobin is a tiger, and the two people behind him are sheep, do you want to be a tiger or a sheep? In the middle of his own thoughts,
Hey!
I, Lynch, am a person who wants to be a tiger, a dog travels thousands of miles to eat, and a wolf travels thousands of miles to eat meat, and my choice is not wrong.
In such a complicated environment outside, it is much better to follow a ruthless person like Liu Shaobin who eats meat than to follow these two grazing sheep behind him.
"Driving... Drive...! ”
Seeing that Lynch's horse was getting farther and farther away, Guo Qian and the two looked at each other, and sighed together, they couldn't imagine that these two people who didn't deal with each other along the way came here, but they came together, leaving the two of them.
Guo Qian looked at Shen Jun and said, "Does Brother Tai want to enter the city, or do you want to chase the two of them?" ”
Shen Jun said with an indignant face: "How could these two people ever care about our feelings...... It's too much to see, anyway, the little brother doesn't want to go with the two of them! ”
After speaking, he came up and pulled Guo Qian's horse reins, and said in his mouth: "Brother Guo might as well enter Changsha City with his junior brother, and rest for a few days first, anyway, there is still time, how about it?" ”
On the one hand, it was Shen Jun's enthusiastic invitation, and on the other hand, it was the duo who never looked back, and for a while, Guo Qian fell into deep thought.
Judging by the various performances along the way...... The duo who left first is indeed smarter than themselves, although they don't want to admit it, but that's the way it is.
In this difficult situation, Guo Qian remembered Liu Shaobin's performance along the way, and suddenly shuddered in his heart.
I am afraid that every soldier who has gone through a lot of hardships and came to the city of Changsha. I guess I have the same thoughts as I do now!
"Those who walk a hundred miles are half ninety."
I really want to go into the city to rest now, so others naturally have this idea, and what will the Manchu court arrange in Changsha City?
Thinking of this, Guo Qian raised his eyes to look at the seemingly calm Changsha City Gate, and suddenly felt that the gate was like a tiger's mouth...... remembered the duo who didn't look back just now and turned around and left.
Guo Qian seemed to understand something all of a sudden...... At the same time, he admired the foresight of the two of them, and recalled the slow motion when Liu Shaobin led the horse away just now
Guo Qian resolutely turned around and left...... At the same time, he no longer cares about Shen Jun.
Some things are not clear...... Just like what Zhang Shaobin did to the three of himself just now.
