Chapter 202: To the West and to the North

In the bazaar, there were several cages full of Zhanren, who were short, dark-skinned, and unclothed, and stretched out their arms out of the cages, shouting and shouting strange local language. ≮∑,▽.23↘x.netbsp; They were slaves, captured by the Yue people, and sold everywhere at extremely low prices.

If it weren't for the Han people who looked down on the short and lazy slaves, maybe they could be seen in the human market of Chang'an City.

Cao Shi carried two pockets on his back and walked to the cage silently, staring at the simple cage and not knowing what he was thinking.

The South Vietnamese officer wore a crude iron sword and said proudly: "Do you see anything strange?" Is there any trace of the Han Chinese? If you have any doubts, say quickly, buffalo and rice are waiting for you. ”

"I know!"

A lame man appeared in the crowd, pointing at the crowd and shouting: "I saw two men and a woman, the two men are very tall, the women don't see their appearance, except for the wrong age, everything else is right." ”

"Where are the people?"

"Right here, huh? What about people? ”

Suddenly, the prison in which the squatters were held crumbled.

The people who jumped out screamed and screamed, and the people who grabbed the things of the Yue people drilled into the crowd, and hid around with their short stature, which suddenly made the scene chaotic.

In a short time, smoke billowed from the corner of the market, and the locals panicked, crying and screaming, and fled in all directions.

Cao Shi lowered his head and bent his waist, calmly blending in with the surging flow of people and leaving safely, the officers of the South Vietnamese soldiers could not stop it, and watched the people in the market run cleanly.

"Murder!"

The Vietnamese soldiers looked at it fixedly, and it turned out that the lame man who had just reported the news had been stabbed to death. The knife in the heart socket didn't even come out screaming.

"It has to be them! It has to be them! Go and tell the boss that the traces of the three Han people have been found! ”

Out of the bazaar to the meeting point.

After a while, the other two rushed over, and the three of them went northwest into the mountains and forests without saying a word, and the three of them took off their makeup and changed back into their clothes.

Cao Shi said with a straight face: "What are you doing?" Why kill that cripple? ”

Liu Ling pursed his lips and was unhappy: "Because he is informing." ”

"That's not supposed to kill people either, the death of a person will immediately reveal our whereabouts."

"Undead, our whereabouts have been revealed."

"You don't throw in the towel? Do you know that it is wrong to kill innocents indiscriminately? ”

Liu Ling rolled his eyes and chuckled: "Isn't it just a dead Yue person, I still taught me this killing technique by you, and the dead Yue person must be very wronged." ”

Wang Meng was embarrassed to be sandwiched between the two nobles, trying to persuade but not daring to talk nonsense. Distressed and aggrieved, he squatted beside the stream as a mute.

The atmosphere was stagnant. Until Cao Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I taught you self-defense techniques for your good, if you die, someone will be sad." ”

"Thank you."

Suddenly, a fragrant breeze blew, and I only felt a warm feeling on my cheeks.

Liu Ling covered his mouth and giggled: "I know you care about me." This kiss is the etiquette of thanksgiving! ”

Cao Shi's face flushed: "You dead woman." I care about you what nonsense. How can I care about you, obviously talking about your father, Liu An, the king of Huainan. ”

"I know, I still thank you for helping me escape. I'm sorry I haven't said a word of thanks in so long! ”

"Uh-huh! We should hurry up and hit the road, the thieves will catch up soon, Uncle Wang, we should go in this direction, right? ”

Wang Meng looked around and nodded: "It's here, let's go and explore the way forward first." ”

"Okay, our goal is to go west and then north, and the goal is to return to Chang'an in Bashu!" Cao Shi walked forward.

Liu Ling followed behind him and giggled, this guy was so interesting.

Huainan country.

At dawn, in the candle-lit room, a handsome middle-aged man was silent in front of the bronze mirror, he was Liu An, the king of Huainan.

Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-nine years old, more than seven feet six inches tall, handsome and dashing Yushu Linfeng, only eight years tall and rich and five cars, young and written books and said that he is famous in the sea, compassion for farmers, Corporal Lixian is a model for the people, and he is a virtuous king admired by the world for studying poetry and books.

Liu An said with a flat expression: "What a good head!" I wonder who will take my head? ”

"The king is our pillar of the sky, you can't be discouraged!" Princess Huainan said worriedly.

"I have written books for more than 20 years, and I have passed down a piece of "Honglie", so don't lose it."

King Huainan shook his head and groaned: "Hong, Da Ye! Martyr, Ming also! "Honglie" thinks that the words of the Great Ming Dao are also! Its purpose is close to "Lao Tzu", indifferent, quiet, in and out of the scriptures, saying that it is big, then the sky and the earth! Speaking of its details, it will be reduced to immensity, and the chaos of ancient and modern times, blessings and misfortunes, strange and wonderful things in the world! Its righteousness is also written, its text is also rich, things and things and the like, everything is contained, but its big comparison is attributed to the Tao, called "Honglie" also! ”

The princess slowly retreated with a stack of manuscripts, this is her husband's life's work, a treasure more precious than life.

The attendant walked in: "King! Weiwei Zhuang Qingzhai asks to see! ”

"Hmph, when I go outside, I will say that the lonely king is resting."

The attendant retreated quietly, and the noisy voice gradually approached.

Bang!

The gate was slammed open by brute force, and the attendant guarding the door stumbled and said angrily, "The king is going to go, the guard is coming in." ”

"Where to go!"

Zhuang Qingzhai entered with armor and sword, swept the corner of the room, and his eyes fell on the king of Huainan on the couch.

"Liu An, King of Huainan, are you guilty?"

"What is the sin of the lonely king?"

"Plotting to rebel is a great rebellious felony, can you plead guilty?"

Liu An raised his head and glanced at it: "Wei Wei grabbed the lonely king and chased after a few of them, the more well-intentioned, don't you know what the crime you want to add is useless?" ”

"I knew you wouldn't bow your head and confess, I found human and physical evidence today, see how you hand it over!" Zhuang Qingzhai clapped his hands and walked from behind him, one of them was Liu An's confidant Wu Quilt, and the other was Lei Quilt, who was known as the first swordsman in Huainan by his henchman. The two not only have similar names, but also are the second of the eight princes of Huainan, and Wu is even ranked among the eight princes.

Liu An was shocked: "Why are you guys here?" ”

"King!" Wu was kneeling on the ground and wept: "You are unladylike, let Lei be mixed in by thieves, I never thought that this fang is Ding Gong's minions have long had a disagreement with the king, it is he like Wei Zhuang Qingzhai to tell the secret!" ”

Lei was furious and said: "Okay, you have been pushed away, if I am Ding Gong's minion, you are a thief who wants to stop the rebellion, the rebellion plan I know is only scratching the surface, and you personally participate in every discussion of the rebellion." There is no explanation from you. How could the lieutenants find the ordnance, food, chariots, bows, and horses of the rebellion? ”

"What did you say?"

Liu An, the king of Huainan, had dark eyes and almost fainted.

There are three brothers in their family, except for the second king of Jibei, Liu Bo, and the other two brothers who can't urinate in a pot, and Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, wants to rebel like him. The path they followed was the same as that of their father, Liu Chang, the king of Huainan Li. Use the funniest means to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne. It can really be said that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the son of a mouse can make holes, and he has a wonderful father. There is a wonderful son.

Wu was insulted and said angrily: "If it weren't for you, the villain, who falsely accused me of rebellion, how could I tell the truth clearly?" I have long advised the king not to rebel, being a peaceful and virtuous king is the most important, why bother to break the laws and etiquette of the Han family for his own selfishness, but it's a pity that the king doesn't listen! ”

"Hahaha...... Who would believe that the king's rebellion was successful? As far as I know, there are only a few people in Huainan who are so naïve, seven or eight of them are the king's relatives and confidants, and there are no more than thirty people in the world, and there are no examples of successful rebellions of thirty people in the whole world, and the king's rebellion is doomed to fail before it succeeds. ”

Liu An hated it very much, and pointed at Lei with a halberd in one hand, and scolded bitterly: "Two traitors! I hate that I'm blind and mistaken for believing you wolf-hearted dogs! I want to take your lives. ”

"King Huainan, what else do you have to say?"

"Humph! The lonely king didn't expect that Wei Wei was very powerful, and it was useless to continue to talk about it at this point, so put a shackle on me! I'm going to Beijing to wait for the Son of Heaven to fall. Liu An stretched out his hands and waited for the flail.

Zhuang Qingzhai waved his hand to stop the soldier's movements: "Since Liu An, the king of Huainan, has confessed, then I will convey the oracle of the Son of Heaven, ordering Liu An and Liu Ci, the king of sin, to assist in rescuing the Marquis of Pingyang, and if something happens, the death penalty can be avoided." ”

Avoid death?

Danshu iron coupons are also exempt from death.

Meritorious princes do not die in piles.

Liu An wanted to show his disdain, but he couldn't, he was trembling nervously at the moment, and he couldn't even say a word.

Is he afraid of death? The answer is obvious.

If he is not afraid of death, why bother to sit alone in front of the bed in the middle of the night, holding the ancient mirror and stroking the head on his neck, only a person who is extremely afraid will do this, because he does not want to die.

Liu An is only 39 years old this year, strong and strong, and there are no physical problems of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

This year, the old man who has lived to be 80 years old, that is the emperor has to talk very kindly when he sees it, not only exempt from forced labor, exempt from tax, exempt from big gifts, give a few rods, give a big feast, every year bureaucrats at all levels go to the countryside to express condolences, counties and counties assess the performance of bureaucrats, first listen to the opinions of these old men, it is simply the best in the Western Han Dynasty.

Beiping Hou Zhang Cang lived for more than 100 years, even if Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty did not like him, he had to come to the door every year to condole, the Han Empire re-old, respect for the elderly, the idea of providing for the elderly was almost waved to the extreme, there was no one before the ancients, and the three old system came into being under this thought.

According to the calculations of medical workers, Liu An has at least 40 years of life, as long as he relaxes his heart and does not have to work hard, he tends to be the true essence of Huang Lao Wuwei mentally, and it is not impossible to live to be 100 years old.

He didn't want to die.

I really don't want to die.

"Huainan King Liu An, how are you thinking about it?"

Liu An was stunned for a moment, and only then did he realize that a long time had passed, and he raised his head and said: "I also know that Lei was a kid who has a different heart, and Ding Gong has a femme fatale, how can I be unguarded?" I know the whereabouts of Ding Gong, he has a shadow arranged by me, not only left traces along the way, but also sent a flying pigeon to pass the book. ”

King Huainan pulled out a note from his sleeve, and Wei Wei Zhuang Qingzhai looked at the scribbled handwriting with a sentence.

On the day of Bingyin in April, Ding Gong and his entourage of 133 people broke away from Wuling and entered the country of Nanyue, more than 650 people died of poisonous miasma, Wei Youqu, the crown prince of Wei's Joseon family, was infected with a miasma, Zhao Yingqi, the crown prince of Nanyue, taught to chew betel nut to prevent drug miasma, Ding Gong and the crown prince successfully reconciled, Pingyang Hou Cao Shi, Huainan Wang Ling, Pingyang Houfu doctor Wang Meng escaped without a trace, Nanyue King Zhao Tuo ordered his arrest.

Liu An pulled out another note: "This is the news I received two days ago, and now it is suspected that the traces of the Marquis of Pingyang, going over the mountains and mountains in the direction of Bashu, the pursuers of the Nanyue Kingdom chased from the road to the checkpoint, if you take a boat up to Bashu now and then turn around and pursue south, maybe you can save the Marquis of Pingyang and my daughter." ”

"This news is important, thank you!" Zhuang Qingzhai arched his hand: "Someone! Send the king of Huainan to Beijing to meet the Son of Heaven. ”

"Whoa!"

The fierce soldiers of the Southern Army picked up Liu An and walked out, and Wu and Lei were also captured.

The two of them were caught in a terrible way, and Ray was yelled, "Captain! What do you mean? We are the ones who report the merits! You can't treat us like that. ”

"I'm sorry, your one-sided words are not enough evidence, let's go to Chang'an to meet Tingwei and make it clear, and escort them down!"

Zhuang Qingzhai glanced indifferently at the two people who were like mourning and taking a concubine to be escorted away, Wu was half-hearted and had already had an idea, Lei was eaten inside and crawled outside and was willing to be an inner ghost, even he, an outsider, wanted to shed tears of sympathy for Liu An, the king of Huainan, and it was really a great sorrow as a human being to know people to such a point.

When the sun rose, hundreds of civilian ships quietly docked at the inner harbor outside Shouchun City, which is located at an important port on the Huai River, and easily reached the Yangtze River through the Guò ditch, and the difficulty of going upriver to the Yangtze River was much less than that of the turbulent river (Yellow River), and the 10,000 elites of the Southern Army boarded the ship in turn.

He was accompanied by 4,000 soldiers from Huainan and Hengshan.

Not surprisingly, Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, confessed in advance very unproductively.

This undisciplined prince and king put all the blame on his brother Liu An, the king of Huainan, and kept claiming that he was deceived and that he was a very simple person, Liu An didn't know that his good brother was backing at the moment, and he thought that not mentioning his brother would be equivalent to taking all the blame on himself, compared to Liu An was more naïve and simple.

Zhuang Qingzhai didn't persist in several interrogations, and every time he saw Liu Ci's obscene and shameless face, he couldn't help but kick his feet to vent the anger in his heart.

Every year, most of the sparse performances handed over by Hengshan State are impeachment of Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, for misconduct, encroachment on land, and meddling in store taxes.

Zhuang Qingzhai buried his head in the case, and quickly wrote a note: "I sent a flying pigeon to Chang'an, and then I am writing a detailed note to send it to Chang'an City, and the situation has changed, I take the Yangtze River to aid Bashu with the right to act cheaply, please prepare the Holy Son of Heaven, Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, the king of Minyue, Zhenfu, the king of Dongou State, and Wei's Joseon King Weimeng are very likely to rebel and make a rebellion. ”

"Whoa!" Sima of the Southern Army left with a sparse play. (To be continued!)
