Chapter 36: Changes (1)
The next half month. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In order to enter Beijing to catch the exam, Lu Chengkong studied hard to take the exam, and he no longer went to the teahouse, and "Lu Sheng's Art of War" was even more abandoned. The Lu family mobilized the whole family to prepare the materials he needed to enter Beijing. Although it was hard study day and night, Lu Chengkong didn't feel tired when he thought about the wonderful days after high school. Lu Liang saw that his son was on the right path again, and a relieved smile finally appeared on his face.
Although Lu Chengkong sometimes narcissistically thinks that he will definitely be able to get into the Jinshi, he is also very aware of the difficulty of the imperial examination. If the most useful subjects in ancient times were language and history, Lu Chengkong could only memorize a few classical Chinese texts, memorize the years of several dynasties, names and some fur systems. The imperial examination emphasizes understanding and literary brilliance, and Lu Chengkong has zero combat effectiveness in front of ancient scholars.
He clearly remembers the story of 'Fan Jinzhongju', Fan Jin didn't win the lifting until he was fifty-four years old, and he was in the Tang Kingdom, and the Jinshi Department was the most difficult, and there was a saying of "Fifty Young Jinshi", even if he had broad knowledge, in front of the imperial examination, he still had no bottom in his heart.
Since Lu Chengkong decided to participate in the imperial examination, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he put all his thoughts on it, and he seemed to have changed in the four schools, and he worked harder than others every day. Although the books of sages are all written in classical Chinese, and every word is broad and profound, and it is difficult to understand, but every Chinese descendant, no matter where he was born, has the gene of the Chinese language in his blood, and Lu Chengkong is well-informed, so he understands it very quickly.
These days, it is strange to say, Lu Chengkong has never seen the "Lu Sheng's Art of War" since he made up his mind to take the imperial examination, but every night, he dreams of the scene of the battle, the dream is so clear, exactly the same as the last night in the future world, it seems that he can still feel the temperature of blood splashed on his face. But after a long time, he got used to it, just because he was too tired from studying and too nervous, and occasionally joked to himself: "Could it be that in my last life, or in my last life, I was a mighty general?" When he said it, he didn't believe it himself, and while smirking, he looked at his weak body and said, "Just this body and bones, I still read honestly." ”
……
Another half a month passed.
After lunch that day, Lu Chengkong walked on the street, preparing to go to Simen to ask Fang Nansheng about his article. But as far as the eye can see, the pedestrians on the road look panicked. He didn't pay attention to it at first, but when he walked near the city gate, he saw a large number of people, old and young, running into the city with their burdens on their backs, looking frightened and uneasy.
Seeing this strange situation, Lu Chengkong stopped, thinking that he would enter Beijing in a few days, he hadn't been to the teahouse for a long time, and he had to go to Gu Yuansheng to say goodbye, and by the way, he asked if there was something important, so he turned around and walked towards the teahouse.
When I entered the teahouse, I saw that every table was full of people. The appearance of these people is quite eye-catching, and they don't look like people from Yingxian. I saw a man carrying a burden and still panting, so he asked, "This uncle, why is everyone so panicked?" ”
The man took a big sip of a bowl of tea, fixed his soul, and asked, "Cui ...... Trixiliang is going to be killed in a few days, don't you know yet? ”
"What? High...... Who is Trixiliang? Lu Chengkong looked puzzled.
"We all escaped from Nangang County." The man gasped, and then said: "A few days ago, Cui Xiliang suddenly took soldiers and horses and captured our Nangang County! ”
Lu Chengkong was taken aback and said, "This, this...... Isn't this just a rebellion? ”
A woman next to her answered, "Isn't it?" As early as half a month ago, Cui Xiliang gathered 500 people to rebel in the land of Xiangshan, and attacked it in a few days......"
"What happened to Nangang County now?" Lu Chengkong hurriedly asked.
The woman sighed, wiped the corners of her eyes, and choked up: "It only took half a day for Cui Xiliang to capture Nangang County, they burned the county government and robbed the granary...... The people of the city, who can escape...... They all escaped. ”
The man on the side continued: "I heard that Cui Xiliang killed people without blinking, Nangang County is only a hundred miles away from Ying County, look at this posture, the rebels will be killed in a few days, let's still flee for our lives!" ”
As he was talking, he saw many old and young women and children still with blood stains on their bodies, and they walked in with each other. All this came too suddenly, Lu Chengkong was stunned for a while, looking at the injured people, his heart was unspeakably uncomfortable, and he frowned and asked, "What about the people in the military government?" ”
"The military government? We haven't seen anyone from the military!" From time to time, people from Nangang enter the teahouse, and the interface said.
"The county order of Nangang doesn't care if you live or die?" Lu Chengkong asked again.
Another big man dragged his family into the teahouse, he spat 'bah', and said sarcastically: "Regardless of whether we live or die? As soon as Trixilian arrived at the city, they abandoned the city and fled, and now they don't know where they have fled! There are still some who don't have time to run, so they have already lowered Cui Xiliang, and followed from door to door to ask me not to resist. ”
The big man's wife continued on the side: "Hey, it is said that Cui Xiliang's group of anti-thief soldiers are strong and strong...... Ying County can't hold it, you better flee to Lingzhou quickly! ”
The more people talked, the more panicked they became.
"No...... No need to run away! Lu Chengkong's eyes widened, and he suddenly said loudly.
The men and women around, old and young, saw the thin scholar in front of them, with an inexplicable arrogance, and their hearts were surprised, and asked, "This ...... Childe, why can't you escape? ”
These days, Lu Chengkong has been accustomed to a condescending posture in front of the ancients, and he has a sense of pride in his heart, swept around the people around him, straightened his waist, and said: "A mere traitor, how can you be able to defeat me...... My officers and soldiers of the Tang Kingdom? ”
"Who are you? Could it be that he is a member of the military government? The big man's wife listened to these rather confident words, and then came back to her senses and looked at Lu Chengkong carefully. I saw that he was polite, his face was fair, and no matter how he looked at it, he was a powerless scholar, so he asked tentatively.
"Who am I?" Being asked like this, Lu Chengkong was suddenly stunned. It is said that people are the most real inadvertently. At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Lu Chengkong's mind, and he didn't know who he really was in this world. Maybe it was habit, he subconsciously raised his hand, touched his chest, and found that his arms were empty, and then he remembered that he had thrown the book "Lu Sheng's Art of War" on the desk, missing this book, and suddenly felt empty, and inexplicably remembered everything about this book in his mind......
"It seems that someone has said who I am......" Lu Chengkong still didn't come back to his senses, and suddenly remembered the conversation with Gu Yuansheng in the teahouse, ""Lu Sheng's Art of War, all people surnamed Lu in the world are ...... What about me? ”
"Looking at him like this, he must have never seen the ferocity of a traitor." The people in the teahouse are getting more and more panicked.
"Traitor?" In the midst of the noise, Lu Chengkong came back to his senses, looked around, and blurted out: "I am a 'descendant of Lu Sheng', how can I be afraid of traitors?" ”
Dahan's wife looked confused, and persuaded again: "This son, since you are not from the military government, you should leave quickly, don't be a hero...... If you don't leave, I'm afraid it's too late. ”
The big man beside him didn't know what the 'descendant of Lu Sheng' in his mouth was, nodded at his wife, and said, "That's it...... That is, let's rest in Yingxian for one night and go to Lingzhou tomorrow. When I arrived in Lingzhou, it was safe. ”
Lu Chengkong didn't have the heart to listen anymore, so he hurriedly walked out of the teahouse and ran towards Zhichong Mansion. In the past half a month, he has devoted all his mind to reading, but he didn't expect that there would be a rebellion by Cui Xiliang. Since Lu Liang and Pang An went to the military mansion five days ago, they have never seen them again. As Lu Chengkong walked, he thought, "Why did the war really come overnight?" ”
