Chapter Eighty-Nine: Letter into the Northwest
In the land of Xiazhou in the northwest, an army is mighty and endless. Yang Yong was wearing armor and walked at the forefront. A horse came galloping from a distance.
"There is a letter from General Luoyang". The cavalry ran quickly towards Yang Yong and respectfully handed him the letter in his hand.
Ten days ago, I received a war report from my family that there was a large tribe of party members in Lingzhou who was acting strangely. My father sent an order for him to lead 5,000 cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers to exterminate him. At this time, Luoyang came to the letter, what is the so-called. Yang Yong took the letter and opened it to watch: Now that the battle for the storage position has subsided, King Yong has been defeated. Brother Sheng deduced that there might be an abnormality in Xingqing Mansion. You may advise your home to be vigilant about this. In the two states of Ling and Xia, each of them is in a dangerous place. Garrison troops in case of accidents.
"Why did the letter come so late?" Yang Yong looked at the letter written by Jia Fu and the time when the payment was made, and looked at the soldiers suspiciously, his tone was a little dissatisfied.
The soldiers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied respectfully on horseback: "This letter is on the way, going around and around. Ten days ago before you arrived at home, these days your whereabouts are uncertain. came and went, and it was delayed for some time."
"Bring the map". Yang Yong didn't continue to ask, but thought about it in his heart, and he was careful that there was no big mistake.
A personal soldier hurriedly took out the map from the backpack behind him, and Yang Yong raised his army to stop advancing and rest on the spot. A group of people dressed as military generals walked over, and more than a dozen people turned over and dismounted, looking for an open space. The map opens and is placed in the middle of a group of people.
A group of generals looked at the map and pointed, Yang Yong thought for a moment, and focused on the map, "I intend to change the route and lead the army to garrison here."
"General, this is the junction of the two states of Lingxia. Isn't there something wrong with our troops coming to a standstill?" A military general looked at the place where Yang Yong was pointing, and there was a hesitant look on his face.
The surrounding generals echoed one after another, and one of them interjected and asked cautiously: "The purpose of the general's trip to our army is to go to Lingzhou and exterminate some party tribes. But if we are stationed at the junction of Ling and Xia Prefectures, will we be punished by our families?"
"If there is a punishment at home, I Yang Yong will bear it. Half an hour later, the whole army turned around." Yang Yong looked at a group of people, hesitated, and directly moved the military order.
The generals received orders one after another, and each dispersed to convey the military order. Half an hour later, the army changed direction and hurried away.
At three o'clock in the morning, Liu Sheng got up. I slept too late last night, and I'm still a little sluggish at this time. Put away the calligraphy and drawings and walk out of the bedroom. Wash up, and after breakfast, wander around the courtyard. Jia Fu's snoring like thunder rang in his ears.
Liu Sheng looked left and right, feeling fine. He turned into a house, took out his fishing rod, and walked to the back of the house. When Yihun saw it, he hurriedly lifted the fish and followed behind.
With a flick of the fishing rod, a circle of ripples appeared in the lake. The sparrows were flying, and Liu Sheng looked at the fish hook and asked: "Yihun, the people in the house, how are you prepared?"
"This time, Qingyuan Dao Chang, the group went to Chang'an. There are five people in the house, and you can follow them at any time." Yi Hun replied respectfully, he was busy with this matter this morning.
After listening to Yihun's report, Liu Sheng pondered: "Five people, is there a little less?"
"Brother Sheng, what's missing." Jia Fu yawned, walked over, and asked suspiciously.
Liu Sheng turned his head to look at Jia Fu and smiled slightly: "Didn't you snore like thunder just now?" I woke up so fast."
"Isn't it good to snore like thunder? It's a sign of health, and it's something you can't envy." Jia Fu touched his head and said exaggeratedly.
Liu Sheng looked at Jia Fu's exaggerated appearance, turned his head back, and continued to look at the fish hook: "Snoring is a disease, not serious."
"Brother Sheng, what were you talking about just now?" Jia Fu didn't answer, and continued to ask the previous question.
Liu Sheng didn't answer, and Jia Fu shifted his gaze to Yihun. Yihun could only answer honestly: "Master Jia, it's about Qingyuan Daochang, their trip to Chang'an, and some arrangements in the house."
"Some arrangements in the house?" Jia Fu's puzzled gaze shifted to Liu Sheng again.
Yihun continued, and continued to answer: "Childe confesses, the principle of voluntariness. I was in the house in the morning and asked about them one by one. Five people expressed their willingness to follow them to Chang'an for development."
"There are only five people in the house, isn't it a little less?" After Jia Fu heard what Yihun said, he thought about it for a while.
Just when Jia Fu was thinking, a guard ran over and reported to Liu Shengyu: "Son, Qingyuan Daoist is visiting."
"Brother Sheng, Qingyuan, are they here to discuss the trip to Chang'an." When Jia Fu heard that Qingyuan was coming, he asked suspiciously.
Liu Sheng looked at the fishing rod and sighed, feeling that every time he fished, he was very unhappy: "I guess it's also this matter, but it's a pity that fishing here can only be stopped."
"Let's go, it's important, don't forget. Meditation monk, before you pass away, the calligraphy and painting left to you". Jia Fu looked at Liu Sheng, who was sighing, and smiled and prompted.
Liu Sheng remained motionless after hearing this, and continued to fish: "How do I feel, you are more anxious than me about this matter."
"How can I not be in a hurry, these are my business. I'm really looking forward to you guys, picking up dung." Jia Fu said the righteousness in the previous sentence, but the latter sentence was careless, exposing his thoughts.
Qingyuan came with his senior brothers, and when he heard what Jia Fu had just said, he asked suspiciously: "What kind of dung do you pick?"
"The dung in the village is all picked." When Jafu heard the question, he almost blurted out. After speaking, he reacted, turned around, and looked at Qingyuan and them in surprise.
A gust of wind blew, and the robe moved with the wind. Qingyuan looked at Jia Fu, who was surprised, and laughed: "Ah Fu, why are you, it's this expression."
"How did you get in, you can't get here without passing through the house." How does Jia Fu look at it now, how does Qingyuan look like, Mingyi's bull-nosed old way.
The oldest Taoist couldn't help but interject with a smile: "We are the people of your house, respectfully invite in."
"Impossible, without the nodding of Brother Sheng and me, they wouldn't have let you in." Jia Fu didn't believe it at all after hearing this, looked at the group of people, and looked up and down.
Liu Sheng put away the fishing rod, listened to their conversation, and looked at Jia Fu angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, it's important to get down to business."
"Look at my memory, I almost forgot it. You came to look for me and Brother Sheng, but about the trip to Chang'an." When Jia Fu heard Liu Sheng's reminder, he hurriedly patted his head and put away his messy thoughts.
Qingyuan and they nodded again and again, expressing their agreement: "Yes, we have made preparations, and we are here to bid you farewell today."
"At the same time, I also want to ask, you have arranged manpower to go to Chang'an with us." A Taoist couldn't help but interject and ask.
Liu Sheng nodded and looked at Qingyuan and them: "The mansion has been prepared, and there are five people who will go to Chang'an with you."
"Five-person ......". The elder Taoist fell into deep thought, and seemed to have made a decision for a long time. The juniors who looked at him nodded hurriedly.
Qing Yuan saw his senior brothers and sisters, and looked at Liu Sheng and Jia Fu with a look of approval: "Since both sides have been prepared, this matter should be done sooner rather than later, and we plan to set off in an hour."
"Not tomorrow? Could it be that the manpower of the real view has arrived in Chang'an? “。 Jia Fu looked at Qingyuan and them suspiciously, he only talked about it yesterday. Calculate the time, and it is impossible for the people who really look at it to appear in Chang'an.
Qingyuan shook his head and explained: "Let's go first and get acquainted with Chang'an." If you really look at your fellow disciples, you will naturally come to Chang'an to meet us."
"Now that time is urgent, I will retire first. Please inform the people in the house to go to the Zentang Hall and join us." The older Taoist heard the answer he wanted and took his leave. Qingyuan and his party also hurriedly resigned.
The two of them were not forced to stay, and sent them outside the house. Liu Sheng watched them get into the carriage and go away. I sighed in my heart, Shantang didn't know how many people there were, and they pinned infinite hopes on it. Maybe it won't be long before it warms the whole world.
