Chapter 249: All Forces (Five Watches)
Tao Qini asked Xiao Er to get some hot water and poured it into the wooden barrel behind the screen, took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and was refreshed.
Open the door and let Xiao Er carry the water out, it's a little troublesome to take a shower, and you must plan it well when you have your own home, especially the kitchen and bathroom.
"Knock knock......" There was a knock on the door, Tao Qini walked over and opened the door, looked at Yao Changsheng in surprise and said, "Mr. Yao?" ”
"You're taking a shower." Yao Changsheng looked at her wet hair and said.
"Hmm!" Tao Qini looked at him and nodded, "If you don't go to sleep, what are you looking for me for?" ”
"Can we talk?" Mr. Yao looked at her with deep eyes and said.
"Now?" Tao Qini looked out the window, the willow tops on the moon, this lonely man and widow in a room, although she was not afraid, she didn't want to be criticized.
"Don't get me wrong, I mean go to the lobby." Mr. Yao turned around and pointed downstairs to the lobby.
"Is it easy to talk in the lobby?" Tao Qini's eyes rolled to look at him when she heard this, and said, "It's better to go outside." ”
Tao Qini also wants to know the situation of all the forces in the city, so it is best to be quiet and not disturbed.
"You can't go outside, it's curfew time, and people are not allowed to go out at night." Yao Changsheng looked at her and said seriously.
"Curfew?" Tao Qini said in surprise with a wink.
"That's right! There is a curfew in most of the city. Yao Changsheng looked at her ignorant and smiled, "The moon is dark and the wind is high, and there are many bad things." ”
"Hehe......" Tao Qini smiled when she heard this, "Then go to the lobby." ”
"It's cold at night, I think you should add extra clothes." Yao Changsheng pursed his lower lip and looked at her and reminded.
"Wait a minute." Tao Qini turned around and entered the room, put on a rabbit skin vest, and walked over and said, "Let's go!" "I went out of the room and closed the door.
"Be careful, the oil lamp isn't bright enough." Yao Changsheng looked at her and said with concern.
"It's already good." Tao Qini looked at his back and smiled, and walked down the wooden stairs to the lobby.
A copper chandelier with candles hangs in the center of the lobby, and the entire lobby is bathed in dim light.
Yao Changsheng followed her line of sight, "That's a candle, it's for lighting, the post station is rich in the end, you can use candles, most people use oil lamps, the light is like beans, it's much darker than this." ”
"How about where we sit?" Yao Changsheng pointed to the corner of the lobby, and he could clearly control the movement of the lobby.
"Listen to you." Tao Qini walked over and sat on the bench.
"Would you like to eat something?" Yao Changsheng stood at the square table and looked at her and asked.
"I don't like to eat at night." Tao Qini raised her eyes and looked at him and refused directly, "Let's have some hot water." ”
"Little two." Yao Changsheng turned around and looked at Xiao Erdao who was standing at the counter, "Come to the pot of water." ”
"Okay! The two of you are objective. Xiao Er walked out of the counter, went to the back kitchen, and quickly came out with a tray, "This is the hot water that the two of you want." "Put down the teapot and two teacups, and fill the two of them with seven points," the two of you use slowly, and you have something to order. As he spoke, he took the tray and retreated, his steps as fast as a rabbit.
"What have you been staring at Xiao Er?" Yao Changsheng lowered his head slightly and whispered.
"I'm looking at everything new now." Tao Qini retracted her gaze and looked at him and said.
"It's not good for you to stare at people like this, and you almost let them spill the water." Yao Changsheng looked at her and smiled, and said patiently, "There are many rules in the city that you have to teach you. ”
"We'll talk about that later." Tao Qini picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, "What do you want to tell me?" ”
"Oh! There are ...... in town now."
Tao Qini looked at him and suddenly said, "Wait a minute." ”
"What's wrong?" Yao Changsheng raised his eyes to look at her and asked.
"The wall has ears, I think it's better for you to write it down." Tao Qini raised her eyebrows and looked at him, Nunu smiled slightly.
"Good!" Yao Changsheng looked at her and nodded, picked up the cup with a smile, poured some water on the square table, dipped it in the water and wrote: There are three forces in this city, 50,000 horses, Gu Dashuai, Su Dashuai, and Lu Dashuai, the three of them belong to the local heroes, gather people to revolt, and capture Bozhou.
Lu Dashuai is old and has old qualifications, so he is respected. The three parties are equal, but they contain each other, and no one can swallow anyone at present? The existing calm is maintained.
Tao Qini frowned at him and moved her lips.
"What do you want to say?" Yao Changsheng looked at her hesitantly and asked.
Tao Qini dipped her index finger in water and wrote: Where this slap is blocked, there are three forces, and the hidden dangers inside seem to be greater than those of the external court!
"Hmm!" Yao Changsheng nodded when he heard this, and continued to write: Especially after relieving the siege of Yanting, he won a short period of peace.
The eternal theme of infighting, Tao Qini said in her heart.
Tao Qini looked at him and wrote: Let's talk about our Gu Dashuai specifically!
Yao Changsheng fanned the water stains on the square table with his hand, and when the table was dry, he wrote: Gu Dashuai, I once said something, he is a local powerful landlord, and part of his uprising is to protect himself and his family property, if he does not revolt, he will definitely face the looting of the imperial court and the second robbery of other rebels, even if the family is rich and silver, he can't bear the robberies one after another. The uprising not only protected his property, but also had 30,000 soldiers, and even the city of Bozhou, which was much stronger than the local lord.
Nowadays, most of the anti-kings from all walks of life are in this way.
Tao Qini frowned lightly, took a sip of the cup, dipped it in the water and wrote: The components of this team are mixed, and they are angry, not quite like honest farmers.
Yao Changsheng had to admire her keen observation, and nodded vigorously, there are idle street thieves and dogs, as well as people on death row, and homeless homeless people and outsiders, it can be said that this is a very uneven and very messy team, but Gu Dashuai is strong and wealthy, and the silver used by him is the means he uses to restrain people, plus this Su Dashuai is a ruthless character, and he runs this city impressively.
Tao Qini nodded thoughtfully, waited for the words on the table to disappear, and wrote: Is this disagreement between General Chu and Gu Dashuai's son on the surface.
"What do you mean by that?" Yao Changsheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her lightly when he heard this, and said, picking up the teacup and taking a sip.
Tao Qini dipped herself in water and briefly wrote about what happened when she entered the Dashuai Mansion and met Gu Congshan.
"Yes!" Yao Changsheng nodded heavily, and continued to write: Chu Jiu's parents died, and in desperation, he went to the nearby Taoist temple, Sanqingguan to practice.
In the view, I sweep the floor every day, visit the Taoist Tibet, practice martial arts, meditate, look at the Dan furnace, draw talismans, cook and wash clothes, and grow vegetables. Soon, due to the famine, Guanli could not get alms, so he went out to reconcile his fate.
