The next morning, it was just dawning.

"The crotch is alive, the crotch is empty, don't be crooked."

Cao Yongchang's legs split apart, and his elbows poked into the clay, causing him to squeeze his eyebrows in pain.

Li Yan sat aside, the pickaxe in his hand tapping at his knees, thighs, and ankles from time to time.

"Walk the hips but not the legs, loose shoulders and not the waist. If the tendons are long, the strength is great, which is the child's skill. As the saying goes, break through the iron cage and escape the tiger and leopard, and suddenly open the golden lock and walk the dragon. ”

Cao Yongchang raised his head: "This is the ...... of the Three Kingdoms"

"Shut up, practice."

Li Yan knocked him again.

"Lord Pacification? Pacify the Lord? ”

At the door, Zhang Zhutou came early in the morning to explain to Li Yan and find out about the sailors that Qianhu wanted.

"Practice on your own."

Li Yan stood up and walked to the door: "Zhang Zhutou has a heart, it's too early." ”

"Serve the imperial court." Zhang Zhutou said with a smile: "I sent someone to go yesterday, and the Jiaozhou Qianhu Office replied, saying that there was a dispatch document from the boss and the guard, so they could send people, and they had already reported it, and it would take four or five days to come and go." ”

Li Yan smiled when he heard this: "I just asked them to borrow a few sailors, but they used the peak to prevaricate, this time the receipt is not to say four or five days, I don't think it will be ten days and a half months." ”

"Alas, lowly is an errand runner, this kind of thing really can't be done, or ......"

Zhang Zhutou's eyes rolled: "The county government sent a few skilled people to come, and most of them are no problem." ”

"The people who can set up a boat all the way to the waterways of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I'm afraid it's not easy to find, and they don't have the same training as the sailors of the imperial court, maybe they will still be dragged down."

Li Yan said and stared at him: "Besides, people don't eat the rice and grain of the imperial court, and the emperor ordered the envoys, how can they leave the officials and soldiers who are in charge of the money?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Zhutou to reply, Li Yan said again: "I'll figure out a way to do this, Zhang Zhutou just cares about it, and doesn't do your business." ”

"Well, Lord Calmer."

Li Yan was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Zhutou.

"Humble duty, there is one more thing to ask for."

"Oh?"

Li Yan quipped: "I still wonder if Zhang Zhutou is so thoughtful, and he has to get up so early to deliver a message, so let's talk about it." ”

"This, this." Zhang Zhutou rubbed his hands: "Chai Jian Zheng of Yibang Tea and Horse Division, my lord, you know." ”

"Just dealt with it." Li Yan squinted: "What's the matter, he sued your county government?" ”

"No, no." Zhang Zhutou waved his hand again and again: "It's Chai Jian Zheng who said, and you Zhenfu you, there is a little misunderstanding, I want to ask the county government to give a letter, please go to Huixian Building for a banquet, and apologize to you in person, this is an invitation." ”

He went to pull out his sleeves, but Li Yan stopped him: "You just have to tell him that I am busy with official business and have no time." ”

Zhang Zhutou's face suddenly became bitter: "Lord Zhenfu, if you don't agree, this embarrassment is still our team leaders, look at this ......"

“…… Okay, it's not hard for you, bring the invitation, when? ”

"Two days later."

Zhang Zhutou handed the gilded invitation to Li Yan.

"That Zhenfu Lord, there is no other command, I will retire first, what is the use of me, just send someone to the county office. I will not shirk. ”

Li Yan nodded, watched Zhang Zhutou leave, and entered the courtyard as soon as he turned around.

Cha Xiaodao sat on the threshold, and he saw everything just now.

"This firewood thief's heart is not dead?"

Li Yan sneered: "He wants to make trouble for me, the best way is to wipe his neck in front of me and splash my blood, and I can't explain it clearly." ”

It's a joke, of course. However, Chai Xuan's errand is here, even if he is from the palace, Li Yan doesn't take him too seriously.

Cha Xiaodao sighed: "It's time for us to leave, since we hit Jiaozhou, there is no demon entanglement, and there is no salty taste in life, where are all the demons and monsters in Shandong?" ”

Li Yan sat down and took a sip of cold water before asking the knife: "Have you read the newspaper that arrived yesterday afternoon?" ”

"The one in your booklet? No. ”

Di Bao said that the body of Zhao Jinwu and his entourage, who escorted the Dragon and Tiger flag in the capital, was thrown in the ditch and the flag was snatched away. Several thousands of households in the Yamen of the Governor of Zhejiang picked up the flag and went to Jiangxi, and when the post station on the road fed the horses, the flag on the body disappeared, and the government dismantled the post station and did not find it, which will reduce the will of the crime is already on the way. ”

After a pause, Li Yan said again: "In some southern provinces, it is long overdue to reach Longhu Mountain, but one hundred and eight flags, none of them have been returned to the hands of the Heavenly Master, you say, what does this mean?" ”

"Either the people of the Heavenly Master Dao were dizzy, so the emperor made a will to return the dragon and tiger banner to the mountain, or they had other plans."

"Don't think so deeply, what I want to say is that most of these so-called capable generals in the imperial court have no ability to resist the evil and evil ways at all. I can't protect the flag. ”

Li Yan pointed to himself: "The matter of the five immortals making trouble in the Bohai Sea, even the monks of the sea know that we did it, those demons and monsters can't not know, persimmons have to be picked soft, the dragon and tiger flags are all over the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and there are fragrant dumplings everywhere that can be mouthful, and no one wants to knock the Liaodong flag, that is, our hard bones." ”

Cha Xiaodao yawned, and tears were about to flow out: "That's no color?" ”

"Not necessarily, we can't see the secret of the Dragon and Tiger Banner. But what Mr. Li meant, this flag is an oil lamp, and all the different ways in the world that arise because of the dragon and tiger are moths, and they will always converge involuntarily. Moreover, the closer you get, the greater the attraction of the flag, we also live in the official office, if this is a black shop that slaughters people and eats meat, there may be how many "color heads" come to the door. Straighten your waist! ”

Li Yan's last sentence was about Cao Yongchang, who was opening his hips.

He looked at Cha Xiaodao: "This afternoon, I want to go to my little brother's house, if there is nothing else, I will personally go to the Thousand Households to ask for manpower early tomorrow morning." ”

……

"At this price, if you love to sell it or not, if you don't sell it, you go to the pharmacy opposite."

The pharmacy guy said with a cold face, angrily at a man in coarse cloth clothes and muddy legs on the opposite side.

"This, this, all ......"

The man was in his thirties, his eyes were glazed, his mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, and he was still a little stammering, but he could still see the anger in his expression.

"It's all it, it's everything, I'll tell you the truth, the last time I received your medicine for the guests to see, the guests returned the medicine on the spot, saying that people like you don't take the medicine that a fool picks. The shopkeeper told me that we won't accept your medicine in the future, and I will buy you at half of the price because I see that you are pitiful. Count me begging you, okay, if you don't sell it, let's leave quickly, whoever opens the door and doesn't do business. ”

Out of the corner of the man's eye, a beautiful little lady came in the door, and the man hurriedly greeted him.

"Yo, rhino lady, is this a medicine for your husband?"

"Hmm."

Hu Shi hummed lightly, and raised his fingers coated with impatiens juice: "Find this recipe for me to catch." ”

As she spoke, she took a piece of silver and put it on the cabinet, and out of the corner of her eye, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the man who had lost his soul and left.

"Who's this?"

Hu asked casually.

"Hi, Jia Liu of Shiqiao River."

The guy grabbed the medicine and packed it, and poked his head at Hu Shi: "It's a fool, born with a problem, I also read when I was a child, so many years, Xiucai has not been in the upper class, after his father and mother let go, his brother and sister-in-law have no conscience, they have to divide the family, and they have taken away valuable things and fields, and Li Zheng came forward, so he left a house, who would have thought that this Jia Liu kicked over the stove in the middle of the night, the house was burned clean, and I don't know where it is all these years, and I don't know where it is all these years, so I don't rely on selling some herbs to make a living." ”

"It's a poor person~ God doesn't give people a way to live."

Hu Shi sighed, picked up the medicine and just wanted to leave, then raised his head again: "I didn't pick this medicine from him, right?" ”

"How can I be, otherwise wouldn't this be scolding you? No, it isn't. ”

"That's good, I don't want to be unlucky."

Hu muttered and walked away.

When she returned to Wang's house with her waist bag, Wang Sheng supported her body but the yamen nodded, and the queen mother did not know where to go.

There was only Cai Azi with a child in his arms in the house, and as soon as Hu entered the door, the two looked at each other.
