By this time in the seventh verse, the rain had begun to fall heavily. The team sang "Battle Song" and headed south on the post road. The water on the road is getting deeper. The surrounding refugees gradually multiplied, trudging through the mud, horses trampling on it, muddy water splashing, and these refugees took refuge. Wu Ming couldn't stand it after all. jumped down to look south, and said to Yang Xiong beside him: "Tell everyone to get off the horse, otherwise the people around will be splashed with mud, what will it look like." Yang Xiong opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He saluted and passed the order down.

Just stop and go, and by the time Wu Ming and the others returned to Hanshui, it was already late.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it has become a downpour. The north gate of Hanshui is open at this time, and there are several tung oil torches around the city gate, and refugees from the north are pouring into the city in a steady stream. A refugee walked in a hurry, and threw himself into the water, and the soldiers guarding the city scolded and scolded, and walked over, with a whip on his head: "Old dog, hurry up, you block here, and the people behind you don't have to pass?" What a hassle. "It was an old man, probably after a long journey, and he didn't have much strength, but after a whip from this soldier, his body curled up like a worm, and he was snorting miserably in the water, and he could barely get up.

I remember that when Gaozu founded the country, he once made a military order, strictly ordering all soldiers not to hurt the people and disturb the people for no reason, but to this day, how many soldiers in this huge empire still remember this article?

The city gate was now crowded with people, and everyone looked at this scene angrily, but they did not dare to make a sound. The old man struggled on the ground a few times, and his body was already covered with muddy water, but he couldn't get up. When the soldier saw this, he cursed and whipped it down again. Wu Ming couldn't stand it anymore, and walked over a few steps and pinched the soldier's hand. He said angrily: "Are you still human? Then he took his arm and shook it. The soldier let out a scream and fell several meters away. His body was also drenched with muddy water, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

There was a burst of cheers at the city gate, and Wu Ming stepped forward, helped the injured old man, and was about to say a few words of comfort. Suddenly, I heard an angry shout: "Who is here to disrupt military affairs and want to rebel?" ”

Wu Ming raised his head and saw a man who looked like a small general pulling the soldier up. The twilight was dreary, and the man's complexion was also very dark, as if he had a posture of being long and short with the sky. He grabbed the spear in his hand in one hand and aimed it at Wu Ming. Seems to be ready to rush at any moment.

Wu Ming was stunned and was about to explain a few words. Dai Yu suddenly came out from behind him and said, "Shao Wei, don't you have long eyes?" This is Lord Wu who Sun Dudu asked me to pick up. ”

The young general named Shao Wei didn't seem to believe it, but he was still holding a gun in his hand with a vigilant face. Step by step, he walked over and said, "Is he Lord Wu?" Dai Yu raised his foot and kicked Shao Wei, and said with a smile: "You kid, you don't even believe my words, what's the matter, do you want me to show my waist card to Lord Wu?" ”

Shao Wei got closer, and finally saw the red night on Wu Ming's waist, his face was straight, and he saluted Wu Ming and said, "Lord Wu, the lower officials didn't know your identity at first, and I hope you don't blame you." However, adults are not only role models for the army, but also hope to take the lead, abide by the law, and think twice before acting. Wu Ming suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, this Shao Wei was a little interesting. Probably he didn't see the whole process, in his eyes, he and those arrogant and domineering children of the family are the same virtue.

Shao Wei turned his head, then saluted Dai Yu and said, "General Dai, after Governor Sun and Lord Wu come back, go to the Governor's Mansion immediately." ”

Wu Ming thought for a while and said to Yang Xiong: "Brother Yang, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you tonight." ”

At this time, the wind and rain were blowing, and from time to time there were thunderstorms, but the number of refugees entering the city did not decrease at all, but more and more, and there was already a long queue at the city gate. The soldiers guarding the gate had settled down a lot after what had just happened. While maintaining the order of entering the city, many soldiers looked at Wu Ming's side sneakily. For fear that the legendary commander of the Guards Battalion would suddenly attack.

Yang Xiong calmed the mount that had become a little irritable due to the heavy rain, wiped the rain on his face and said, "My lord, what's the matter?" You just say. ”

"I won't be able to go to the Governor's Mansion to have so many people, so you can bring the soldiers here to help the brothers maintain order." Wu Ming pointed at the soldiers and said, then turned his head and said to Tian Hong, who was staying on the side: "Brother Tian, you can take two brothers to accompany me to the Governor's Mansion." "Yang Xiong is careful, with him here to supervise, those soldiers will definitely not dare to mess with the people, Wu Ming is naturally relieved. As for letting Tian Hong follow him, it is nothing more than to make it more convenient for Yang Xiong, I am afraid that this kid will cause some trouble here.

Shao Wei led the two of them all the way in the rainstorm. After coming back this time, Dai Yu's words were much less than before, and he seemed to be a little afraid of Wu Ming. Wu Ming also thought about his thoughts, and didn't think much about it. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of the messy horses' hooves seemed to carry the moisture of the water, and it was heavy. In the distance, the towering Tower of All Saints turned into a sword that grew larger and larger in the field of vision.

Sun Yunlong's Governor's Mansion is in the middle of Hanshui City, which is naturally not very far from the Ten Thousand Saints Pagoda. When the three of them arrived at the Governor's Mansion, the entire Governor's Mansion was still brightly lit. Many armoured generals came and went in and out of the governor's palace, and from time to time a patrol squad with spears came and went, and it was a busy scene. Shao Wei seemed to be Sun Yunlong's henchman, and as soon as the soldiers of the patrol team met him, they all nodded and saluted, and then opened the way, and no one came to investigate.

Walking to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Wu Ming asked Tian Hong to wait outside with two soldiers from the Guards Battalion, and he and Dai Yu went straight inside under the leadership of Shao Wei. Sun Yunlong's Governor's Mansion was much smaller than Zhuhuai's Governor's Mansion. Not long after walking, the three stopped in front of a large house, which was brightly lit. He said in a loud voice: "Governor, General Dai is fortunate not to be dishonored, and Lord Wu has returned safely." Xu was still annoyed with Wu Ming's rudeness, and he was obviously squeezing Wu Ming in his words. However, Wu Ming was able to get out of trouble this time, thanks to Dai Yu. It is impossible to worry about these things with this Shao Wei, and he just smiled when he heard this.

"Ah, really?" Sun Yunlong's cry of surprise sounded in the room. The door of the house opened, and Sun Yunlong ran out of it wearing a leather coat. looked a few people up and down, and then took Wu Ming's hand affectionately and said, "Oh, it's really Lord Wu." The two of them came just in time, and I am afraid that I will have to trouble the two of them if there is something important. ”

After finishing speaking, he said to Shao Wei, who was still standing aside in a daze: "What are you still doing?" Why don't you go and call someone for tea and a night supper? Shao Wei agreed, bowed and went down without mentioning it.

Sun Yunlong let the two of them into the house, and said, "Lord Wu, this kid is the captain of my own army, although his temper is straight, but his heart is not bad. You can take care of it more in the future. In his tone, he spoke like a colleague.

It seems that Sun Yunlong has invested in Zhu Huai's side, which is real. The last time he visited Zhu Huai at night, he probably talked about this matter. It seems that Zhu Huai is also fully prepared for the dispute between the north and the south, so how can he deal with the hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen who are about to go south? Wu Ming thought in his heart, his face was still motionless, and he walked in with Dai Yu under the leadership of Sun Yunlong.

There were two braziers burning in the house, and the dampness and coldness in the air suddenly disappeared a lot. On a table in the middle, a brush is placed on an inkstone, and a white paper is pressed underneath, and the ink on the paper has not dried. Obviously, Sun Yunlong was still fighting at night just now.

Sun Yunlong walked over, put away all the things on the table, and then pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Please sit down." ”

Wu Ming sat down, patted the simple bamboo chair and said, "Sun Dudu is really hard. Sun Yunlong sighed and said: "The world is about to be in chaos, I stay in this house, there is a fire heating up, and there are bamboo benches to rest." It's so strong that I don't know much better than those people who are trekking in the wind and rain, so how can I say that I am bitter. Alas, this war is down, and I don't know when it will end. ”

Although he said it softly, the sentimentality in his words was very obvious. Wu Ming was stunned, since Sun Yunlong had such a sad and pitiful feeling. If he wants the war to end early, it is only right for him to join Li Tie's side. Now it is turned to Zhu Huai, which makes the battlefield form even more confusing. He really wanted to ask him to understand, but he and Sun Yunlong had only met twice, so he definitely couldn't ask indiscriminately.

At this time, Shao Wei had already presented the tea and night points. Sun Yunlong picked up the cup and said, "The two of you will drink a cup of tea first to drive away the water." Wu Ming picked up the cup and took a sip, only to feel that the tea was extremely fragrant, but it went down his throat with a faint heat. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Good tea." ”

Sun Yunlong also picked up the cup, touched his lips, and smiled: "Lord Wu, do you know what the name of this tea is?" In the words, there was a slight pride.

Wu Ming is in the tea road, which can be said to be ignorant. This tea is very good, but it is impossible to really ask him to name it. was about to tell the truth, but Dai Yu took the cup and drank it all, and then smashed his mouth. He said unsatisfied: "This tea should be the 'Hanning Spring' that is hard to find now, right?" ”

Sun Yunlong slapped his right hand on the table, glanced at Wu Mingdao, who was a little dazed: "Exactly, General Dai is worthy of being a native of Nanning." This is exactly the 'Hanning Spring', this tea must be the tea trees of the dangerous stone mountains around the Jiming Lake in the west of Nanning, and then the mandarin duck well under the Wansheng Pagoda to brew this fragrant and pleasant taste. This time the tea tree bud in the new year. Zhu Duzuo specially picked some and specially asked someone to bring some. The humble house is not far from the Mandarin Duck Well, but it is also convenient to brew, and the two of them are very happy. ”

This tea is very famous and is said to be miraculous. Even people like Wu Ming, who don't know anything about the tea ceremony, have heard of it. Legend has it that this tea was a special tribute royal tea in the previous dynasty. It is famous for its color, aroma, strong flavor and endless aftertaste. Therefore, the tea must be picked in the spring to pick the new sprouts of Nanning Jimingtan and brew it with Hanshui Mandarin Duck Well to achieve the best taste. At that time, Hanshui and Nanning were still the same city, so it was also called "Hanning Spring".

There are more and more people who taste tea, and gradually a tea house appears near the mandarin duck well, and the boss is attached to the elegant meaning, called "Wanxiang Building". Every year, there is an endless stream of people who come to taste tea and talk about Taoism, and it has become a great attraction in Hanning. Later, the world was in turmoil, and the north bank of Hanning was also slaughtered by Ouyang Fang, and the blood flowed like a river, and this teahouse was said to be the rebellious base at that time, and it was also eradicated in one fell swoop.

If this Wanxiang Building is still there, it is estimated that the Baihe Tower in Nanning will not dare to call itself the "first floor".
