Leave Montaigne and head to Linhai District, De'an Province.

The three thousand horsemen gathered again after two days, but did not enter the small county, so as not to cause a riot.

Linhai County Ling Xie Zhizhi was the only fierce man who dared to confront him when Yan Sui made a mistake in De'an.

After many years, he is still in the local area, neither rising nor demotion, doing his county order.

This is a bit of a strange thing, Wen Zhen and others who have passed through various moths along the way, are very vigilant about this, and they are followed by the most carefully selected decapitators, and there is also a squad that sneaks into the city, and the rest of the cavalry is stationed on a hillside outside the city, and a dive can enter the county seat at any time.

The armed security force in Linhai County should not exceed 1,000 people, but 3,000 elites go back and forth.

Therefore, Wen Zhen felt that if there was an ambush, it would definitely not be a tough battle, it would only be a conspiracy, like the kind of thing that Yi Ming did.

That's why she was wary of the scorpion sting—the name wasn't a good thing.

Yan Sui agreed very much, and his impression of the handsome county magistrate was also extremely bad.

Lin Qing is indispensable. He couldn't wait to see what the side god had left for him.

Looking for the red plum lantern in the market, I thought it would be difficult to find, but as soon as I inquired, I knew that the most famous market was the South Market, and as soon as I entered the South Market, I saw a large red plum lantern with a white background hanging high, so conspicuous that it could no longer be conspicuous.

was so clear, Wen Zhen didn't dare to enter.

However, Lin Qing laughed, the corners of Yan Sui's lips hooked, and the two men with different personalities and didn't care about anything in their bones walked directly to the lantern and entered the store, and the people inside looked up together, but it turned out to be a pawnshop.

When Yan Sui saw the pawnshop, he evoked some not very wonderful memories, and his face turned dark.

Lin Qing lay on the counter, stunned.

The high counter was black and purple, but there was an out-of-place blue cloth hanging on it, and on the counter was a black pottery vase with a dried flower in the green of duck feces.

The scene in front of him suddenly shook like water waves, and a pair of small feet stepped into the high threshold, wearing tattered shoes, but the steps were brisk, holding a blue cloth with deep creases for a long time at a glance, the little feet stood up a little hard, handed the very new and very thick blue cloth to the black and purple high counter, and shouted crisply: "Dangdang!" ”

His vision suddenly decreased, and when he leaned down slightly, he saw a flower of strange color on the top of the little girl's black hair, the color was really ugly, the yellow-green like duck feces, and the nameless wildflowers blooming all over the local area, neither fragrant nor beautiful, but somehow, wearing it on the green and smooth hair of the crow, it inexplicably made people feel that the green was also exquisite.

A somewhat rough hand stretched out from the high counter, grabbed the carefully protected blue cloth roughly, tossed for a while, and threw it out casually: "What a rotten coarse cloth, inappropriate!" ”

The little girl snorted and pounced on the cloth to grab it, "That's new!" New! ”

"The new ones aren't worth much!"

The pawnshop guy suddenly poked his big face, glanced at the little girl who looked down to pick up the cloth, and laughed, "Or, when you are yourself?" Your face is worth more than this rag! ”

Before the words fell, the little girl just cherished the neatly folded blue cloth in her hand, and threw it heavily on the man's face.

It was very sassy and ruthless, but he almost didn't laugh when he saw that the little girl was too short, and in order to reach the guy behind the high counter, he jumped up and hit people.

The poofs were still heard by her, and she turned her head and glared fiercely in her hurry.

This one look.

It's a lifetime.

In his life, countless days and nights, countless stars and suns, countless moments of trekking in the snow and splashing of blood, countless moments of life and death and the lonely season after the dust settled, all retrace this eye over and over again.

Black and white, with resentment and resentment, a thousand years at a glance.

That day, the guy rushed out of the counter to hit someone, and he tripped and fell, before he could make a move, she had already rushed up, picked up the black pottery vase by the counter and hit the guy on the head and broke the blood, and then took his hand and ran, the little hands were held in the palms, so soft that he forgot to tell her that in fact, he could hit this guy and ask for mercy, and he didn't need to run away at all...... Later, he thought, let's run, you can follow her like this, keep running, run for a lifetime, run to the ends of the earth.

Later, separated for a lifetime, you are at the end of the world, and I am at the cape.

Lin Qing laughed lowly, his eyes flashed, his fingers clasped the counter, and he knocked on the ground: "No, why is this blue flower cloth nailed with red edges, how is this black pottery vase square, it should be round, and this flower should also be single, not double......"

"I changed it." A voice answered, and then a person lifted the curtain and walked out.

For a moment, Wen Zhen almost thought that the brother of the god general was coming.

The person who came was about the same size as Lin Qing, his face was about the same as Lin Qing's, and even his facial features were somewhat similar. But if you look closely, it doesn't look like it, and it can only be said that there is a general feeling. And the difference in temperament is also big, Lin Qing is chic and spacious, but this person is chic but mixed with three points of evil spirit, his extraordinarily deep eyelids are half-open, from any angle he looks like he is despising someone, and his face is extremely pale.

Wen Zhen somewhat understood why Yan Sui didn't look good last time he mentioned this person, this was like a blackened version of Lin Qing, which easily reminded him of his mother's glamorous history.

Lin Qing's expression was very happy, looking up and down, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.

Xie Zhizhi himself seemed to hate this kind of "likeness", and said lukewarmly: "I have seen the god general, Your Highness, Lord Wen." "Spread your hands again.

Lin Qing shook the bloodstone.

Xie Zhezhi stared at the word "love book" for a long time before saying, "Follow me." ”

Wen Zhen felt as if he was rolling his eyes.

I also feel very uncomfortable with this extremely smooth process.

She is really used to deceiving me with swords and swords, and she is no longer used to the rhythm of everything going smoothly.

I heard all kinds of wind sounds on my side, and then I put my mind at ease, and it was useless to think of any moths, northern Sichuan is coming, our trio, what else in the world can't break through?

There is no tunnel, directly into the pawnshop's backyard, very big, big enough to cover the whole street, but from the outside, this is the red light district, here gathered three green buildings and four restaurants, from the restaurant out into the green building, from the green building out into the pawnshop, and then from the pawnshop out into the green building, very convenient, so even together is not strange.

This is also the place where everyone in the county will come to the high-ranking officials and nobles to the small people of Shengdou, but it is also a place where everyone will come and be a little jealous, except for having fun, they will try to avoid it the rest of the time. Even if the imperial history of the imperial court comes, in order to avoid suspicion, he will not drill into this area, Wen Zhen feels that the choice of this location is really wonderful.

This huge courtyard has many rooms, Xie Zhizhi opened a room casually, the room was normally arranged, Xie Zhizhi made an inviting gesture to Yan Sui, Yan Sui waved his hand at Japanese, and Japanese stepped forward to tinker, and after a while, the mechanism opened, revealing a huge room compartment, Wen Zhen took a breath.

A room of silver ingots.

The kind that goes from the ground to the zenith.

Wen Zhen is not short of money, but she has never seen so much money, she raised soldiers, horses, added weapons, opened a good meeting in the rivers and lakes and met the three questions book house technical school, the money is rolling in and out, the funds in hand will not be kept a lot, sometimes even stretched, especially after the expansion of the Huzhou army to 100,000, most of the property left by Xiao Lifeng to her has been used, and Yan Sui's money has also been smashed into a lot.

The silver light in the room reflected Xie Zhezhi's face was weird and pale, but his expression was slightly proud, and he stood at the door and said: "This is the silver room, and the mother has accumulated it for ten years." ”

Walking to the next room, the mechanism opened, and this time, the room was full of silver shining armor.

"This is the first room."

The next room is full of swords, guns, swords, and halberds made of refined steel.

The next room is full of all kinds of medicinal herbs.

The next room is full of cotton clothes, bedding, military kettles, tents and other things.

The next room, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and other utensils.

Next, a variety of shelf-stable grains.

……

Except for the war horses that were really inconvenient to prepare, almost all the armaments and materials were stored here, Lin Qing was amazed at first, and then he was silent.

Yan Sui remembered the series of problems he found out when he checked the file in De'an Mansion.

The money that shouldn't be spent, the disasters that shouldn't be reported, the taxes that shouldn't be reduced, the roads that shouldn't be built, the Linhai County that produces saline, and the truth that was about to come out at that time but was pushed back by Xie Zhizhi in person.

It turns out that the answer is here.

His far-sighted and courageous old lady actually made arrangements in Linhai County many years ago, like a diligent moth, digging a hole on the left and a hole on the right in this small Linhai county that is not noticeable, and built today's arsenal.

“…… Twenty years ago, my mother saved me and my brother, and then after years of hard work, first my brother served as the commander of Linhai County, found a capable person, and used his unique boiler to extract sea salt, extract sea salt and then sell it privately, although sea salt is not as white and delicate as well salt, but our price will be relatively cheap, during which all disaster relief, tax exemption, road repair, and other things, it is inevitable to do some tricks and feet, and slowly accumulate...... My brother was transferred after two terms, and then I came back again...... In short, in ten years, these have been saved. ”

Wen Zhen: "......"

Concubine De Niangniang is really ruthless and has no taboos......

"How can a mother trust your brother?"

"Our whole family's lives were saved by Niangniang, originally in Tianjing for Niangniang's use, in Tianjing after a few years of training before I found the opportunity to go to Linhai, Linhai The idea of refining salt is still I gave Niangniang." Xie Zhizhi said proudly, "Although Your Highness has never seen me, in fact, our family is the one who has been guarding Niangniang for the longest time." ”

He didn't look at Lin Qing, Yan Sui stared at him, thinking that he felt that his words and expressions were a little strange back then, so it turned out to be like this.

Xie Zhizhi rubbed the bloodstone, "...... In order to stay here all the time, Niangniang and I have put a lot of effort into it, but when it comes to this day, I am guarding this increasingly huge property, and I haven't had a good night's sleep in all these years, so let's take it away...... I'm tired of it......"

Yan Sui still has a question, "Where did you buy these from?" How can you not be discovered? ”

"Medicinal materials, bedding and clothing are easy to do, send people to collect them slowly from everywhere, sometimes directly on the replacement of items, armor is more prohibited, we secretly found craftsmen to make, but also groped for a long time. As for the weapons...... "

Japanese suddenly came over with a weapon and whispered, "Master, look! ”

Yan Sui saw a pattern on the weapon that looked a little complicated, and few people could recognize it as a variant of the word "Zhen".

He was stunned and couldn't help but smile.

Xie Zhizhi had already said, "...... The weapon was later connected to a mysterious place, and it was not easy to buy, the other party did not know the identity, but the weapon was very sophisticated and reliable. The price is too expensive, and sometimes they need some food and medicinal herbs, but their iron is much stronger than others......"

Japanese grinned.

Yan Sui lowered his eyes, and sighed slightly.

He has always had a big customer in his secret iron-making weapon base in Qingzhou, and he is happy to give money and has a huge demand.

I never thought that in the end, I would do business at home and return it to my own hands.

“…… It's all here, take it, take it, take it. Xie Zhizhi opened the last door, there was a stable, which was full of carriages and horses, which was the carriage used by the Qinglou to transport guests, of course, it was also specially prepared for this moment.

When it got dark, the carriage drove into the hospital and began to move. Lin Qing stretched out his hand to Xie Zhizhi and said, "Can you pay me back?" ”

The bloodstone was still tightly held in Xie Zhizhi's hand.

Xie Zhizhi didn't move.

Lin Qing smiled slightly in his eyes, "It's a love book." ”

Xie Zhizhi slowly handed him the bloodstone. His face was half-lit and half-dark in the light and shadow of the lantern, revealing half that was pale and handsome, as pale as snow.

He asked, "How is the mother?" ”

Lin Qing: "Great, when I left the palace, she still waved to me." Ah, after years of not seeing, she is getting more and more beautiful. ”

Xie Zhezhi: "The god general hasn't seen his mother for more than 20 years, right?" The last time I saw my mother was seven years ago, when I left Beijing for Linhai. My mother talked to me for a long time. ”

Lin Qing: "We are silent at this time. ”

Xie Zhezhi: "Niangniang also wrapped snacks for me to take away." ”

Lin Qing: "She made it herself?" Hey, then you don't have to eat it, the craftsmanship on the side, I've eaten her fried vegetables and boiled fish, it's really ...... Amazing! ”

Xie Zhezhi: "Niangniang made me a bracer with her own hands, and I have always kept it." I wear it once a year on her birthday, and I congratulate her on her birthday. ”

Lin Qing: "Then I don't have the blessing of you, I only beat me with my own hands on the side." ”

Xie Zhizhi: "...... Mother......

Yan Sui: "...... Niangniang is my mother's concubine, she has never told me that you are Xie Zhezhi, and I haven't seen you Lin Qing for more than 20 years. Her needlework is like shit, Lin Feibai refuses to wear the forehead she makes, she stir-fries like poison, Lin Shuai, you said last time that you have eaten diarrhea for three days, and you only ate it once, there are piles of snacks in her palace, and every puppy is hung around her neck. Both, your boring and boring rivalry only makes me feel more sympathy for you. ”

Lin Qing: "......"

Xie Zhizhi: "......"

Wen Zhen: "......"

Ah, your irretrievable emotional intelligence.

After a while, Lin Qing slurped his teeth and said, "Isn't it more sympathetic to a man who even has cubs but still has a concubine?" ”

Wen Zhen: ...... Bingo!

Lin Shuai wins!

……

After inspecting the wagons, inspecting everything, finding no problems, the convoy went out of the city gates.

Xie Zhezhi is a county order, a county parent official, and it is very convenient to open the city gate in the middle of the night.

Seeing the team out of the city gate, countless knights galloped down the slopes on all sides like flowing water into the team, and Xie Zhizhi, who was standing at the head of the city, smiled.

The moonlight sprinkled on his face, and the original pale was already slightly blue.

He quickly got out of the city, got into the carriage, and went back to the house, which was deserted, and for so many years, in order to act secretly, there was only an old man by his side, not even a maidservant. He himself went into the study, slowly grinding the cold ink, grinding and grinding, and there was a hot bright red liquid dripping down.

The liquid dripped into the inkstone, and the ink color of the inkstone appeared a little cloudy.

He ignored it and took up a pen to write.

The word is under the feet of His Royal Highness King Yi:

Goodbye to Your Highness today, that is, farewell.

Your Highness must have wondered why everything was going so smoothly today. Why did Niangniang and her ministers plan for ten years, and they didn't notice it with the power of the first emperor? However, the first emperor naturally knew, as early as half a month ago, the minister woke up in the middle of the night for a mysterious man in black, Xu Chen will look forward, maybe the minister poison dagger, let the minister choose.

What did the minister choose in the end, Your Highness might as well guess?

After a hurried meeting, there will be no time again, and the minister will give His Highness a thin gift when he leaves. May His Royal Highness be in harmony with Lord Wen for a hundred years, and may Niangniang's youth be eternal and live a long life.

Payment: I want to be your father's Xie Zhizhi.

Xie Zhizhi covered his face, sealed the letter, and ordered the old man to deliver the letter. Turn around and keep your head down.

Blood trickled down again, splattered all over the paper, splashing out of the inkstone, and he looked at the red and sighed a little regretfully.

It's too turbulent, I could have painted plum blossoms, but now the mountains and rivers are red and have lost that artistic conception.

Let's draw fireworks.

Skimming, sweeping, smearing, just that piece of bright red, painting the fireworks for half a day.

It seems to be the first time I saw that year, it was the Lantern Festival, the emperor and his concubines went to the imperial city to have fun with the people, and the whole Tianjing cheered and rejoiced in the fireworks and streamers, only he and his brother, but because of offending Haoqiang, one was dragged to the guilt, and the other was sent to the palace as a eunuch.

Struggling to tear and cry for help was drowned out by the fireworks that kept roaring into the sky, and at the most desperate moment, he suddenly saw a golden-red skirt, and when he raised his head, the sky was not starlight, and his vision was burned by the sparks that had just exploded, and he only saw the silhouette of the woman like the most beautiful painting, her voice was hoarse and her smile was lazy.

She said, "Yo, I like this face." ”

In the next moment, another bunch of peony fireworks bloomed behind her, lighting up the entire night sky, but he felt that her face was burning and glowing, three points brighter than the peony.

The Lantern Festival that year was the only festival.

……

There was a slight sound on the ground, and the wolf's pen fell to the ground, splashing a black-red ink mark.

On the table, an unfinished picture of fireworks was slightly lifted by the wind.

……

On the official road, Yan Sui suddenly ordered the convoy to stop.

He came to a car under the astonishment of the crowd, listened carefully, pedaled on the wheels and listened again, then took a dagger and pried open the sides and bottom of the car.

At this time, Wen Zhen saw that there was a hollow place on the side and bottom of the car, and each buried a pipe, half of the pipe on the side was sealed, and only a few small holes were chiseled at the bottom, and oil was dripping down. The tube at the bottom is stuffed with clumps of cotton balls, and in the middle of the cotton balls are black projectiles, and the first few clumps of cotton have been soaked in oil at this moment.

As soon as Wen Zhen saw the familiar black ball, his face changed.

It's a powder bullet!

So wait here!

This terrifying and ingenious trap setup!

I calculated that I wanted to transport these things, and I couldn't find so many big cars for a while, so I had to use the car provided by Xie Zhezhi, so my hands and feet were on the car, the side pipeline transported fuel, and the bottom pipeline cotton was stuffed with gunpowder bullets, so that there was no problem when I just walked, and after walking out of a section, the slowly dripping oil would loosen the cotton bubbles, and there would be a gap between the gunpowder bullets that were tightly squeezed, and once there was a gap, there would be a collision, a collision explosion, and cotton with fuel was the best combustible...... This gunpowder bomb full of the bottom of the car can not only destroy the hard work of Concubine De for ten years, but also blow everyone in the car directly into pieces!

And the two pipes are very thin, dripping oil without sound, unless the car is dismantled, it is difficult to find.

She looked at Yan Sui with admiration, but Yan Sui frowned at the car body and said, "I saw a little oil mark on the car body just now." And ......"

And judging from the cotton that has been soaked, it should have exploded before Yan Sui found out.

Suddenly some beast leaped through the grass in front of him, startling the horse pulling the cart, and the horse spun around and slammed into the body, shaking violently.

Wen Zhen pounced on Yan Sui at that moment.

Yan Sui didn't know what she was thinking, so she was stunned before catching her, and then the corners of her lips curled.

"Shh

But it was not an earth-shattering loud noise, softly, a spark erupted from the bottom of the car, light red and white, spread out, like a gorgeous fan.

It turned out to be ...... Firework.

Wen Zhen was still holding Yan Sui and was stunned.

Lin Qing leaned on the body of the other car, looked at Yan Sui with a little envy for the tenth time, and finally hugged his arms tightly.

If no one is holding it, it is better to hold the baby yourself.

Yan Sui chuckled, simply put his arm around Wen Zhen, put down a few more light-duty cars, pried open the bottom of the car, and let the bottom of the car face the sky.

Suddenly, colorful streamers, five-color vertical and horizontal, the night sky is full of fireworks.

Wen Zhen leaned on his arms, remembering that he had also set off fireworks to inform himself when he was staying in the mountain, but that time he was injured and semi-blind, and he didn't see clearly, but today he thanked Zhizhi for watching the fireworks set off by the big car.

At this moment, they received a letter from the old man of Xie Zhezhi's family.

Yan Sui's gaze stayed on the words "I want to be your father" for a long time.

Everyone wants to be my father, but in the end, he is the least worthy of it.

Wen Zhen also lost his interest in watching fireworks at this time.

At this time, he also understood that Emperor Yongyu really figured out the layout of Concubine De here, but as he was used to, he was quiet, and at the end he sent someone to restrain Xie Zhizhi, wanting to catch it all.

Xie Zhizhi didn't choose to be tough, he made a false accusation, and even offered a plan to say that it might not be useful to ambush and assassinate or something, so it was better to cooperate all the time, and kill them with one hand after they succeeded in the future.

His strategy was adopted, but how could the emperor believe him, he must have poisoned him, and only gave him the antidote when he saw Yan Sui and others die.

Xie Zhizhi replaced the gunpowder bomb with a firework bomb.

What was he thinking when he changed the gunpowder bullets?

Have you ever thought about taking your own life?

Do you want to be saved and pay it back in the end?

Have you ever thought about the fireworks on the night of the Lantern Festival?

Still thinking about the last little joke, setting off a handful of fireworks to scare you, and say, I want to be your father. There is no reluctance, I finally said what I wanted to say, and finally unloaded the burden of a lifetime of hard work, so happy?

That night, the convoy did not move forward.

Yan Sui put his arms around Wen Zhen and finished reading the last gift Xie Zhizhi gave him in a car.

Lin Qing drank wine all night, and when it was dawn, he raised his glass in the direction of Linhai County Gate.

To the brothers.

Respect to all those who have never lost themselves in the coercion of fate.

……

------Off topic------

Does anyone still remember Xie Zhizhi, who was sweet in De'an?

Does anyone else have a ticket in their pocket......
