(Sorry for sending it so late...... ）

In the afternoon, Chen Ke and others found an inn to stay. In the past month, Xu has been accustomed to falling asleep in shaky ways, and he can't fall asleep if he doesn't shake around; Xu is still shocked by the scene of the public sacrifice to Fan Gong, he is obviously very sleepy, but he still tosses and turns, and it is difficult to sleep.

In a daze, there was a faint sound of bamboo in his ears, and Chen Ke couldn't sleep at all. He put on his shoes and got out of bed, opened the door, and heard the sound of the Hunan girl singing:

"The scenery is different in autumn, and the geese in Hengyang don't pay attention.

The sound of the corners on all sides rises, and in the thousands of mountains, the long smoke and sunset are closed in a lonely city.

A glass of turbid wine is thousands of miles away, and Yan Ran has no plan.

Qiang tube is full of frost. People are sleepless, and the general's white-haired husband ...... tears"

In this era, what prevails is the soft and beautiful 'Flower School', Chen Ke heard this song, although it was sung by a woman, but the momentum is tragic and desolate, the artistic conception is strong and strong, and the glamorous sound of the Flower School is swept away. It is the song "Fisherman's Pride - Plugging the Autumn Come", written by Fan Wenzhenggong.

It is said that Ouyang Xiu once joked to Fan Gong: "Xiwen, you are 'plugging the autumn' at every turn, what a poor border master!" Even his friends said this, Fan Zhongyan's style of words that is incompatible with the times naturally does not please the public, Chen Ke has been in Shuzhong for so many years, and he has never heard anyone sing.

Now, Xu is in memory of Fan Gong, so he took it out and sang it. But it's really much more refreshing than those 'leaning on the red and green' and 'chilling cicadas', so Chen Ke followed the singing, walked to the front hall of the inn, and sure enough, he saw a singer with a pipa in her arms, playing and singing to herself.

At this time, it was not yet dinner, and there were several tables of guests scattered in the front hall, drinking and listening to music.

Chen Ke walked in quietly, he was a very lively person, looked around, and saw a middle-aged guest with slender eyebrows and a strange appearance on a table in the corner. He walked over and gestured if he could sit down.

The man looked up at him, and his eyes were deep, as if they could penetrate people's hearts. Chen Ke was surprised, but he refused to avoid his sharp gaze, staring back at the past.

The man almost laughed at the first sight of such an interesting figure, nodded his head, and invited him to sit down. Xiao Er thought that the two of them were all the way, so he added a pair of dishes and chopsticks...... Neither of them objected, and they both listened intently to the song's song.

At the end of the song, the singer bowed and went down to rest for the time being, and the lobby became lively again. The middle-aged man who was at the same table as Chen Ke picked up the wine cup and gave him a slight drink, and then drank it himself.

Chen Ke is so cheeky that he is the best at getting closer to people, he was busy pouring wine for the middle-aged man and said, "Is the predecessor a person?" ”

"And the companion sleeps in the room." The middle-aged man looked at him and said with a faint smile: "The little brother seems to have a Shuzhong accent." ”

Chen Ke was depressed, he had been in Qingshen County for eight years, okay, he spoke with a Sichuan flavor, so he nodded and said, "Well, I just got off the boat." ”

"With the elders of the family?"

"No, I took a few younger brothers and traveled out of Sichuan."

"Oh?" The middle-aged man said with a slight surprise: "At a young age, it is rare to be willing to give up the country of abundance and cross the Three Gorges to go out of Sichuan." ”

"Isn't that what you'll see?" Chen Ke said with a smile.

"Oh......" The middle-aged man suddenly laughed and said, "Interesting, interesting," but then suppressed his smile and said slowly: "But now is not a good time to travel." ”

"Why?" Chen Ke was surprised.

"Don't you know?" The middle-aged man was a little strange, and immediately said with relief: "It's no wonder that Shuzhong is already closed to news, and you have been on the boat for another month, and it is normal not to know that Lingnan has fallen." ”

"Lingnan has fallen?" Chen Ke opened his mouth wide and said, "How could it be? ”

"Yes, how could it be," the middle-aged man said with a wry smile: "I believe that everyone, when they hear this news, they will have a reaction with you." His face sank and he said, "But it did happen!" In April this year, Nong Zhigao, a barbarian from Guangyuan Prefecture, led a large army down the Yujiang River to the east and broke through the fortress of Hengshanzhai, and Zhang Rixin, Gao Shi'an, Wu Xiang and others were martyred. ”

"On the first day of the fifth month, Yongzhou, the first important town in the southwest, fell, more than 1,000 Song troops were killed, and all officials were killed. After Nong Zhigao captured Yongzhou, he established the Great Southern Kingdom, pretended to be Emperor Renhui, and conferred the title of civil and military officials. ”

"After Nong Zhigao captured Yongzhou, he led the army to the east, and quickly conquered Hengzhou, Guizhou, Tengzhou, Wuzhou, Fengzhou, Kangzhou, and Duanzhou. The middle-aged man said with a worried look on his face: "I don't know what the current situation of Guangzhou City is, whether it has been defended, or whether it has fallen like Yongzhou." ”

Chen Ke was dumbfounded when he heard this, he really couldn't imagine that during the time when he was out of Sichuan, the impression of the rich and peaceful Great Song Dynasty would have such a terrible rebellion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I can't think of it, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty can't think of it." The middle-aged man sneered: "Every drink and peck is determined by heaven, and today I finally reap the consequences!" ”

"What do you mean by senpai?"

"Do you know that before Nong Zhigao rebelled, he actually wanted to attach it!" The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "According to the habits of officials and ministers, as long as you see a letter, you will definitely raise your hand to welcome it." ”

"Hmm." Chen Ke has long heard of the behavior of the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers' 'forbearance is high and harmony is precious': "So, Bianliang didn't receive his report? ”

"Yes, because he made several reports, all of them were detained by Chen Heng, the governor of Yongzhou." The middle-aged man is not popular: "And Chen Heng's reason is that more is better than less." The chief was furious, and led the army to the city of Yongzhou, originally only wanted to threaten Chen Heng and let him speed up his work efficiency, but who knew that the defense line of paper paste would be broken as soon as he poked, so he would knock Yongzhou down without much effort. "Yongzhou is now the capital of Guangxi, Nanning.

"Thanks to the development of the post road in the Song Dynasty, the news of the fall of Yongzhou soon shocked the officials and ministers of Bianliang City, and they ordered the military horses and horses in various places on the Guangnan East Road to return to the Guangdong prison Li Shu and the Guangdong soldiers and horses Chen Shu to control the moderation, assemble from the direction of Shaozhou, move to Guangzhou, and intercept Nong Zhigao."

"The response was timely." Chen Ke sobered up.

"If the order is issued quickly, it will be difficult to say the actions of the army......" the middle-aged man sneered: "Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, in the eyes of the northern imperial court, the people of Lingnan are lambs who will never rebel. They proudly believed that the Lingnan people could even endure the brutal and devilish Southern Han Dynasty, and now under the enlightened and moderate Great Song Dynasty, how could anyone think of rebellion? ”

"Only fifty years have passed since the Battle of the Yuanyuan, and the empire's most elite army and strongest fortress have been turned into tofu dregs. And since the Pingnan Han Dynasty, Lingnan, which has not had swords and soldiers for a hundred years, can imagine how rotten the army is! The middle-aged man said bitterly: "In my opinion, the military and political system in Lingnan has completely decayed and is no longer usable, and the imperial court pointed to them to quell the rebellion, I am afraid that another Western Xia will be born." ”

"Lingnan civil and military is not available." Chen Ke said: "The court will be replaced!" ”

"Well said." The middle-aged man nodded coldly and said, "But the most suitable person passed away at this time......

"You mean, Fan Gong?"

"That's right," the middle-aged man said with a sad smile: "When the Great Song Dynasty was employing people, it found that its loyal ministers and good generals had been tossed to death by themselves...... What do you say is not self-reaping?! He sneered and said, "Now, do you know the government and the opposition, why do you remember Fan Wenzheng like that?" There is no other reason, the country is in trouble and thinks of good ministers! ”

After speaking, he picked up the wine jug, shook it, asked the store to sift another pot, serve a few hot dishes, and smiled at Chen Ke: "These complaints, like a fish in the throat, do not come out of pain, but they are uncomfortable." Saying that, he smiled and said: "The only way to solve your worries is Du Kang, who will accompany a certain person to drink without getting drunk today." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two drank for a while, and Chen Ke asked: "Seeing that the seniors are dressed in plain clothes, it seems that they are specially here to pay tribute to Fan Gong." ”

"I came to Yueyang Tower to pay tribute to Fan Wenzheng," the middle-aged man said: "But I didn't expect that I was just in time for a big public sacrifice." ”

Chen Ke listened to his tone, and couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart: "The senior seems to be familiar with Fan Gong? ”

"I can't talk about acquaintance, I've met a few times." The middle-aged man looked at Chen Ke and said, "In the future, if you don't see Fan Wenzheng, it's your loss." He sighed softly: "Fan Gong, the most righteous and pure, almost Taoist, can be said to be the first person in three hundred years, the most sage after Confucius!" ”

"Alas......" Chen Ke sighed lightly: "Actually, we originally planned to go to Yingzhou to pay homage to Fan Gong. ”

"Oh......" said the middle-aged man, "That's a pity." He suddenly said headlessly: "In the next life, seeing each other is fate, I'll give you a hexagram." ”

"Uh......" Chen Kexin said that you can also tell hexagrams? But he thanked Bumin and said: "It's not counted, it's not counted, it's not good to calculate it, and it's in vain to cause trouble." I'd better worry about it when it's time to go. ”

"Hahaha......" The middle-aged man was very amused, and laughed loudly: "How many princes and nobles, begging me Shao someone to be a hexagram but can't do it, but your kid is full of refusal." ”

"Shao ......" Chen Ke suddenly flashed a person in his mind: "Are you that, that ......" He wanted to say 'Shao Yong', but it was too rude to call someone's name in person, but he couldn't remember the person's name, so he could only hold it there.

'Shh......h ”

"Forget it." Although this person may be the first strange person in the Northern Song Dynasty, known as the 'God of Hexagram Gods', Chen Ke has always resisted these mysterious things, for fear that they will calculate their own abnormalities.

"Today. But sooner or later I'll have to give you a hexagram! The middle-aged man narrowed his slender eyes, stared at Chen Ke tightly, and said word by word: "Because you are a person who has been messing with days!" After speaking, he threw a string of money to him and said: "Now that the government is investigating the spies, you Shu people are messing around, be careful of being caught." ”

"What is this?" Chen Ke looked at the delicate money, and on each piece, there was a seal 'Shao' character.

"My fortune-telling stuff." The middle-aged man smiled faintly and said: "When you meet someone who knows the goods, you can always give a few thin noodles." ”
