Chapter 0230: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore

The small courtyard in Anyang is still the same, since Zhang Yue and his younger brother Zhang Cheng left home, my father lives alone, and the house is full of sundries, which looks messy and deserted. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhang Yue has only lived in this era for a month or two, and there is no special feeling.

However, Bian Yu was very curious, pulled him to look inside and out, pointed to all over the room in the courtyard and asked all kinds of strange questions, which made Zhang Yue cry and laugh. For Bian Yu, after my father heard that she was a flat wife, he didn't like it very much, and his lukewarm attitude made Bian Yu very aggrieved.

The midyear festival is also called the Obon Festival, and the festival activities are to worship the ancestors, as well as some famous sages, as usual, to go to the grave and sacrifice the lonely souls and ghosts. Dad didn't know that Zhang Yue was back, and he had burned paper money to sacrifice before, so he couldn't go again, and Zhang Yue took Bian Yu to go.

Mother Zhang's curtain is in the dry land outside the village, and the rest of the grandfathers, grandparents and other scenes are a little farther away, Zhang Yue took Bian Yu to worship the ancestral tomb for half a day, and he didn't stay at home for a long time, and then went back to the Xindu Inn, and waited for his father to explain the affairs in the butcher shop, so he picked him up, and then took his own soldiers to hire a boat to go south.

Two days later, in the evening, he returned to the dock outside the shallow mouth town to moor the boat, this time Zhang Yue had no interest in landing again, and honestly stayed on the boat to chat with his father about some family life, but he had to buy grain, rice and vegetables, so he sent Du Ximi to take ten personal soldiers to the town.

When he didn't want Du Ximi to come back, he took the Song family on the boat. When Zhang Yue heard about it, he saw that the Song family only had a servant girl and five guards, and he stood on the bow deck and refused to come in. She is still wearing a dark purple dress, which matches the snow-white skin, and there is always a sense of charm.

"Finally waited for General Zhang to return, the concubine is really looking through the autumn water!" Song blinked and smiled charmingly.

"Really? You've got your migration routed, right? When I pass by the Daimyo's Mansion on my way south, I will talk to King Wei. Zhang Yue nodded and agreed.

"Good! Bozhou is under the rule of the Tianxiong Army, and Yunzhou is under the rule of the Tianping Army, which is two towns, but as far as I know from the last time I went to Tokyo, after the King of Wei was transferred to the Daimyo's Mansion, the new Tianping Festival Marshal was He Fujin, but he died of illness before he arrived, and Yunzhou is still the agent of the King of Wei, so you only need to find the King of Wei, General Zhang, don't forget to mention Yunzhou. ”

"No problem! It's windy in the bow of this ship, don't you go to the cabin and sit? Speaking of which, I still don't know much about your White Lotus Society, and I don't even know your name. Zhang Yue invited with a smile.

"Huh...... The concubine's name is Yaozhu, and she is not enough to worry about, so she won't go in, lest your little lady be angry! Song glanced at him strangely, and said: "You already know a lot, more than 1,000 people under my general altar have moved to Qiankou Town, and they consume countless amounts of food and money every day, General Zhang has to do it as soon as possible!" ”

Song Yaozhu bent her knees slightly, turned around and quickly got off the boat. As soon as Zhang Yue turned around, he saw Bian Yu holding on to the railing on the side of the boat, talking to his father Zhang Yonghe, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Who is that woman? Could it be that you are going to take in the concubine again? Zhang Yonghe asked with a dark face, looking directly at Zhang Yue.

"Ahem...... How so? It's just a little friendship, some business dealings. Zhang Yue scratched his head and explained with a wry smile, but saw Bian Yu quietly glance at him and ran away quickly, and couldn't help but feel in his heart, daring to love this girl to sue herself.

"Friendship? If a man and a woman don't have that kind of relationship, what friendship can they have? Zhang Yonghe glared at the old man, put his hands behind his back, and counted down very dissatisfiedly: "You are now a general of the forbidden army, even if you fly to the sky, I can control you." It is said that it is a good thing for you to take a few more concubines and start a family as soon as possible, but this woman! You can't marry all of them home, learn about the etiquette of books, be dignified and virtuous, so that the house is peaceful, you can have no worries, make meritorious achievements, and repay the grace of the saint for marriage. ”

"Yes, yes...... Daddy has a point! My son remembered it all! The old man said that he was still in a set, Zhang Yue was surprised for a while, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice, so as not to make him angry, and it was very stubborn to start a temper.

It's really not easy to say that the old man lost his wife when he was not middle-aged, and he has not continued the strings, both as a father and as a mother, bringing up both sons, and refusing to stop when he is old, and continuing to manage his butcher's business.

Zhang Yue left home not long after coming to this era, and he didn't have any feelings for this cheap father, but because of his reputation and respect for the old man's personality, he has always been respectful. His gentle and humble appearance made the old man very satisfied, but he still taught a few words with a straight face before giving up.

It was getting dark soon, dinner was served, there was a father, Zhang Yue was inconvenient to run to Bian Yu, accompanied the old man to dinner, drank a few glasses of wine, didn't want the old man to chatter, talk about some trivial past events at home, and couldn't stop at all.

Zhang Yue sat on pins and needles, so he had to accompany him, and finally stayed up until the old man freshened up and fell asleep, Zhang Yue ran out, and when he arrived at his cabin, he hesitated, and walked to Bian Yu's cabin at the stern, and when he got to the door, he pushed it gently, and the door was not closed, Zhang Yue couldn't help but laugh. He dodged in, closed the door and threw himself directly at the bed, but he was empty, and the bed was neatly furnished, but it was empty.

"You bad guy! deliberately sue you, let your father teach you a lesson, and you dare to come......" Bian Yu flashed out from behind the couch and grabbed Zhang Yue's ear.

"I'm afraid of wool! Let's be above board...... What else could he say? Hey...... Besides, it doesn't have to be that, it's just that I'm not used to sleeping alone. Zhang Yue turned around and hugged Bian Yu into his arms, pretending to coax.

"Okay...... I'm not used to it either! Then you are not allowed to mess around......"

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the noise of the sailors on night outside, and then the footsteps rang into a sound, and everyone was chattering endlessly, and the soldiers who were sleeping in the atrium of the cabin also got up, and someone was shouting.

"Looks like something happened! Don't run around in your room, I'll go out and have a look! Zhang Yue turned around and ran out of the cabin, and the soldiers and sailors outside gathered on the bow deck.

Before he reached the bow of the ship, he saw the night sky in the distance blazing into the sky, shouting and shouting, and screaming in a chaotic manner. Judging by this distance, it should be that there is a fire in the town of Asaokou, but Zhang Yue's boat is at the riverside wharf, and it is still two or three miles away from the town, so he can't see what happened.

"General! There was a fire in the town, but there were shouts of killing, which was very strange! Du Ximi saw Zhang Yue come out, so he went up.

"Well......" Zhang Yue nodded, and quickly remembered in his heart that Song Yaozhu said that more than 1,000 of her subordinates had moved to the town, maybe they were discovered by the officers and soldiers and sent troops to encircle and suppress them.

Zhang Yue looked funny in his heart, a little gloating, and decided to watch the fire from the other side. In this era of backward agriculture, these followers of the White Lotus Society, who do not do their jobs and do not produce anything, are simply parasites of society, and they also spread chaotic ideas everywhere, confuse and recruit displaced people, and once they become big, they will rebel in all kinds of ways, which is completely one of the factors of social instability.

After watching for a while, Zhang Yue instructed the sailors to be vigilant, and assigned Du Ximi to lead his own soldiers to help guard all parts of the ship, and then went back to his room to sleep, pretending not to know. (To be continued.) )
