Approaching twilight, one by two people carried a small sedan chair hurriedly carried over the Guan Gong Ancestral Hall, and went south along the embankment of the Ji River. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Changting Street, the high wall and deep courtyard in the Tongren Lane at the east of the street are strict. At the mouth of the alley, a few faded bare weeping willows, leaning on the afterglow of the slanting sun in winter, drooping their heads listlessly, the willow branches are dry and withered, and the breeze is blowing everywhere.

At the entrance of the alley, two black bronze doors slowly opened, and a handsome middle-aged man walked out of the door and slowly welcomed the people in the sedan chair into the house.

This man is Wang Jin, he wears a wide-sleeved Yuan Qing reeling silk straight jacket, and a blue jade belt around his waist, although it is a homely dress, but it is also a little extravagant.

The eldest princess who walked down in the sedan chair wrapped her hand stove under the mink fur, rubbing her hands non-stop, and the two stepped on the moss-frozen brick path together, and walked to the garden with three wild grass characters in the book "Anshi Garden".

"Anshi Garden" has more than a dozen courtyards, large and small, separated by a cloister, a moon gate, a cobblestone path and a courtyard, and it is quiet and unusual on weekdays. Only Wang Jin and Wang Geng live in it.

Since Wang Geng was crowned the prince of the county the year before last, the eldest princess Zhang Luo has a new house, and she is constantly looking for the princess of the county for Wang Geng.

When the eldest princess came this time, she only brought two guards to guard outside, and another personal girl walked in front with a lantern.

The echoes and the light and shadow of the lanterns in the empty courtyard were faintly lonely.

Wang Jin walked a few steps quickly, helped the eldest princess's right hand, approached her ear, and said softly: "Prince Ning and Old General Qin are here, and Geng'er is accompanying them." ”

The eldest princess bowed slightly, glanced at the withered pots and flowers in the courtyard, and nodded abruptly.

General Qin Yi brought Fu Yannian's young daughter Fu Yingyou.

The little girl was sitting in General Qin's arms, smiling and playing with Buddha's hands, with an innocent smile, and big black eyes looking under the dense eyelashes, that smile really made people's hearts melt.

The eldest princess greeted everyone and sat down with a smile: "General Qin is so blessed, she looks quiet, and she is even more handsome than her mother." ”

Wang Geng looked at Wang Jin, then at the crowd beside him, cleared his throat, and said with a hippie smile:

"It's almost the end of the year, it's not, everyone's intention, the eldest princess is also very clear, but in that matter, although General Fu was negligent, it was also an unintentional mistake, and the crime was not so much. Looking at the faces of the old general Qin and Prince Ning, why don't you the eldest princess—" Before he finished speaking, he saw his mother glaring at him fiercely, so he had to swallow the second half of the sentence.

The eldest princess said gently: "The intention of the prince and the old general, but what Geng'er said? ”

"Exactly." Old General Qin pulled his beard out of the little Lori in his arms, and said, "I wonder what the eldest princess thinks, can this little son-in-law's matter be made small?" ”

The eldest princess gently picked up the purple dragon charcoal fire in the stove in her palm, buckled the tie, and pulled it into her sleeve, and when she raised her head, she smiled:

"Actually, Ben Gong Yuan just wanted General Fu to come and ask what was going on, who knew that he was bent on fleeing, ignoring the old general and Xiao Youyou, could it be that Ben Gong's usual methods are so fierce that they are scary? If he comes back for this time, he will only ask him a few more words in this palace. ”

She let go so easily, which made General Qin Yi and Prince Ning a little surprised.

……

The weather was cold, and in the courtyard of the republican mansion on Fu Yannian's side, Huang Chun lay in front of the brazier, took a charcoal pen to draw a sample manuscript, and painted a water pavilion and song platform, painting carved beams, heavy pavilions, and cloisters.

Fu Yannian was lying behind him, skimming his sketches, and said with a smile: "What deal did you make with the eldest princess, how can you be so sure?" This republican church does not issue a ticket number, nor does it have a surname of money, how can it come to such a large expense? ”

Huang Chun didn't turn his face, only replied to him while continuing to draw his own sketch: "What do you say? What if it were you? ”

Fu Yannian looked at the sky, the sun was gradually lowering, lower, and he muttered, "I heard that the Lord had another stroke this winter." ”

"Hmm."

"It's not going to be good......

"Hmm."

"You don't want to help the eldest princess collect money and escape, and from then on the island is self-respecting, one side of the princes, right? Let's talk about how to make money. ”

"Hmm."

"Did you let Concubine Pu Niangniang's arms reselling business and reach an alliance of interests with the eldest princess?"

"Hmm."

"I'll go, don't, say something important, next, will you profit from this business to fund the Republican Church?"

Huang Chun suddenly stopped, threw aside the charcoal pen in his hand, turned to look at Fu Yannian seriously, leaned his face very close to him, and said: "Let's talk about you first, you know this, there are too many, I would think that you are already a member of my Republican Sect." ”

"I've been here here for so long, when have I not been a republican?" Fu Yannian is neither humble nor arrogant, and takes retreat as the way forward.

Huang Chun smiled dumbly, gave Fu Yannian a broken child on the door of his head with his finger, and said with a smile: "Joining my republican sect, three years of testing, one year of exercise, introducing people, and oath ceremony, one must be missing." ”

"Hehe," Fu Yannian glanced at him and said, "Obviously, you want me to join in every possible way, but this time, I have to hire three media and six times, just like marrying a lady." You, a republican, also have a bit of a feminine connotation. ”

Huang Chun said he didn't want to speak and threw a shoe at him.

"Alright, alright, stop making trouble." Fu Yannian waved his hand again and again:

"It's the first time I've set it up since I joined the church. I see, this big business between the Pu family and the eldest princess has been sweet a few times, and it has to be a little bitter, let me accumulate the first batch of ordnance for our republican sect, for a year, how about it? ”

The corners of Huang Chun's mouth were full of smiles, and his thin beard was rejoicing, but he pretended to be indifferent: "Think about it." What do you need to match? ”

"This is a later story, let's talk about this first-" Fu Yannian handed over the volume of the "Declaration of the Republic", pointed to the handwriting on the note next to it, and asked with a strange smile:

"I want to know, is this Ling Sifu, or Fu Shao's handiwork?"

Huang Chun didn't mean that he suddenly said this, and he was a little stunned for a while, and then turned his face away with a smile.

……

Qi Siyuan was excited all night, his two red eyes looked at the firelight that flashed on the window paper until dawn, and listened to the sometimes chaotic and sometimes neat footsteps outside the window, and he didn't sleep all night.

This is Qi Siyuan's first mission after following Fu Shao into the Republican Church, as an important principal of Beiming's huge commercial system, he has seen a lot of winds and waves, but this is the first time to do private work for the Republican Church. Before dawn, Xiong Luoer put on a dress and led the team to meet him.

Qi Siyuan saw the scene of the stove along the way during the march for the first time, and felt very novel, as if the story of reducing the earthen stove to confuse the enemy in the art of war book suddenly seemed to be in front of him.

The soldiers built stoves in the clay, and the yellow clay stoves dug up were angular and angular. The beef shanks and dry cakes were cooked in an earthen oven on fire, giving off a burst of fragrance.

In the westerly sunshine, a hidden sky at the mouth of the gorge, and in the dense forest that obscured the sun and the moon, Xiong Luo'er and the republican judges around him joined the army and discussed the final details together.

Xiong Luo'er pointed his hand that was still stained with ox leg oil to the map, and gently drew a circle in one place, pointing out a round mud oil idea.

"After passing through the customs between the east and west, before getting on the ship, you have to pass through the first line of Muzhou, you see, there is a bluestone valley in the northwest and southeast direction at Foxi and Beitian, which is three miles long, twelve zhang wide, and more than sixty zhang high, which is an excellent place to set up an ambush."

The republican generals around him were amazed when they looked at the extremely detailed survey map of the mountains, rivers, alleys, and even every well, whether the well was dry or not, and whether it was drinkable.

Noisy and earnest discussions, like a breeze sweeping across the water. Xiong Luoer didn't mean to explain, just assigned tasks one post at a time.

The scout outpost behind her smiled, a pair of cat's eyes stared at her faintly, like some terrifying ghost fire in the night sky, for a long time, she smiled contemptuously, and snorted coldly in her heart: "I also said that the cw hou is a heroine, and he actually used the map of the Luo Wei spies." ”。

But then I thought of what Huang Chun had been educating himself about, in the face of major rights and wrongs, he was not informal. Solidarity with light and dust is the way to last for a long time.

Looking at the re-survey after snatching it, the meticulous survey map is also a lot more pleasing to the eye

"From now on, we'll all march with our flags, tiptoeing and wrapping our horses' hooves."

"Qingshiyu is the only way to go, I'm not afraid that they won't enter."

But what if they go west instead? Just in case, it's better for the last general to lead a sentry to wave the Luo Wa pirate flag over there and disturb the enemy and confuse the enemy. ”

"Just send one or two scouts who are familiar with the local situation, and let them pretend to be fishing fellows and intercept the way."

"The last will go." Ji Xiao finally found an errand that he could take on, and he was afraid that he would be left behind.

Xiong Luo'er smiled and nodded, and continued to command.

"When ambushing, it is also necessary to prepare more rockets, rolling wood, firewood and grass, fire oil, and bows and arrows to hit deep ditches. General Sheng," she looked at Sheng Zheng and instructed, "Remember to supervise in place, and don't raise flags or show your blades along the way." ”

"Yes."

In the afternoon, on the rock wall where Qingyu splits, the rising and falling resident birds and the roe elk hares that are rushing have long been frightened without a trace, and the earthly cooking smoke is in front, faint smoke and dust, and floating water mist.

In the short and grass-colored oilcloth tent, Xiong Luo'er sat with one arm, carefully looking at the seemingly ordinary fifteen-stone bow in his hand, and Qi Siyuan next to him settled down to write one by one.

Outside, a Tsing Yi wrapped his head into the tent and said:
