Jing Zhigang at the back of the ox cart had just drunk a few glasses, plus he hadn't slept all night, and he was also a little tired, "Ah-" said, and then closed his eyes half-awake and half-drunk, and after a while, he actually snored like thunder.

From time to time, passers-by pointed at the ox cart: "Is this person sick?" actually drove a big scalper and swayed on the street. ”

"No, the people who drive the ox carts today are rich people."

"I don't think so, or he'll be a cattle dealer."

"Well, maybe there's a piglet in this cart with an ox cart in it."

……

"Mouth on others, let them say it." Gong Changyu just smiled, not caring about the speculation and discussion of passers-by. He whistled merrily, waved his bullwhip, and drove the ox cart on.

Everywhere you go, you can see the continuous city walls. It is like a spine raised on the earth, thousands of years of wind and rain, still standing tenaciously on this land, like an affectionate elder, sheltering the people here.

Day and night, the water runs diagonally through the ancient city from west to east. The stilted buildings built by the river, the wooden piles exposed to the water, some have been yellowed or even rotted, the houses are wooden structures, and the walls are slabs on all sides.

The willows on the embankment are still clinging, and the willow catkins are curling, like smoke and fog. The river overflows Futou, gently drumming, the gurgling sound of pounding clothes passes through the millennium, and the bluestone of Futou is polished smooth like a mirror over the years.

Gong Changyu drove the ox cart, along the big and small king cities, through one street after another, and finally arrived at the fisherman's pavilion, he stopped the ox cart.

Everything is still so quiet, and the river is as good as yesterday. Under the sunset and slanting sun, the mountains in the distance are majestic, and the nearby rocks are lined up, and the shadows are sufficient, such as the beasts of the wilderness, the vast waves are sparkling, and the golden waves are flooded.

"The road is long, I will go up and down and seek." Gong Changyu stood in the pavilion, leaning on the railing alone, he really wanted to look up to the sky and roar. But he can't, because there is no Xiao Xiaoyu today.

Since ancient times, the people have suffered from the rise and fall, and every time there is a war, the people here will be poisoned to varying degrees. During the Tang Yuanhe period, the situation was turbulent and floods were rampant, and the Miao Yao people in Confucianism, Xinning and other places rose up one after another, shaking the dynasty.

Liu Xuan (Liu Zongyuan's uncle) was ordered to be in danger, and only raised 500 soldiers and settled in Wugang City. Liu Gong was benevolent and righteous, and could not bear the war, so he did not send a single soldier, ran around to persuade and appease, raise money and food to help the victims, and inspired the troubled people, in exchange for the peace of the people.

In that year, Liu Hedong had been demoted to Yongzhou, and when he heard his uncle's good deeds, he was moved to write the article "Wugang Ming" to show his merits......

The hands of the years can't erase the bloody rain. The war broke out again, and the 300,000 blue wolf army was hundreds of miles away, and they would be killed at any time, and the life and death of Wuyou City were in our hands.

"I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled man." Gong Changyu's heart was surging.

But that county Ling Jing Zhigang was still sleeping soundly on the ox cart, his eyebrows were burned, and he could still sleep, what a real Buddha! Gong Changyu walked around, he had never entered Xiao Wangcheng, so he had to ask Jing Zhi what he did just now.

He walked to the back of the ox cart and lifted the curtain to see that Jing Zhigang had actually become a Maitreya Buddha. Everyone in the world is drunk and I am drunk, and others have woken up and I have not woken up, which is really admirable.

"Lord Jing, where is the palace?" Gong Changyu shouted.

"Oh......" Jing Zhigang rubbed his eyes and yawned, "General Gong, where is this?" ”

"Fisherman's Pavilion." Gong Changyu smiled slightly.

"What are you pulling me here for?" Jing Zhigang straightened his clothes and walked down from the ox cart.

"Look at the cliff that stands on the bank of the Zheshui River." Gong Changyu pointed to the stone statue that had been carved into a little blurred.

"Hey, isn't that Dr. Sanlu?" Jing Zhigang said.

"Who is Dr. Sanlu?" Gong Changyu was puzzled.

"Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet of Chu during the Warring States Period." Although Jing Zhigang is a little cynical, he still has some admiration for Mi Yuan (Qu Yuan).

"Oh. Our Dragon Boat Festival in Chudi is for him, right? Gong Changyu asked.

"That's right." Jing Zhigang bowed slightly.

"How many grades of the official of the Sanlu doctor, is there a high auction grade of General Dusi?" Gong Changyu said with a smile.

"Doctor Sanlu is a special official position of the Chu State during the Warring States Period, and he is to preside over the sacrifice of the temple, and he is also in charge of the idle errand of the education of the children of the three surnames of the royal family, Qu, Jing, and Zhao, and has no real power. I don't know very well, maybe not as good as yours. Jing Zhigang said with a haha, "General Gong, your question is a bit brain-burning. ”

Then Jing Zhigang bowed three times to the stone statue, stroked his beard and said: "You don't see, Qu Zi stands on the bow of the boat with his hands, a flat boat, a pot of turbid wine, songs on the side, and poems on the side." Look at him, his brows are tightly locked, his expression is worried, and after answering with the fisherman, he has strengthened his belief in this trip. Under the cliff of the ship's mooring, he seemed to be a little lost, and he was quite emotional about the difficulties and dangers ahead, and he didn't feel tired, so he rested against the cliff with his back......"

Qu Zi is dedicated to the community and the people of the world, and sighs long to cover his tears. has the heart to serve the country, but has no power to return to heaven. Sometimes hope lives on as long as the soul lives. At some point, Mr. Yin appeared on the edge of the fisherman's pavilion, interrupting Jing Zhigang's excitement.

"Hey, Mr. Yin, aren't you in the River Fish Restaurant?" Jing Zhigang was taken aback by the appearance of Mr. Yin.

"I've been following the ox cart, but you don't notice it." Mr. Yin said with a smile, "The old man has something to ask Master Jing, why is Qu Zi not like Shang Jun, who went west to Qin and committed suicide by throwing himself into the water?" ”

"Qu Zi held the position of Sanlu Doctor, but after being alienated by the King of Chu, he was demoted and far away from the center of decision-making power. He was very disappointed by this appointment, coupled with the despair of the king of Chu and the state of Chu, he couldn't figure it out, and hoped to warn the king of Chu with death. Jing Zhigang responded.

"Master Jing, Mr. Yin, I, Gong, know very little about Doctor Sanlu. I thought that Qu Zi was only loyal to his Chu State, just like me, he only contributed to the Qinghe State, and he didn't care about the two masters. Gong Changyu said, "If the Blue Wolf Kingdom sends someone to give me a king now, what kind of appearance or something, I will consider it." ”

"Woe comes from the mouth." Old Mr. Yin coughed a few times, "General, don't talk nonsense. ”

The Blue Wolf Army, a group of hooligans and unemployed vagrants who killed people and set fires, gained momentum for a while, but they were losing the hearts of the people and could not last long. At this point, Gong Changyu was in the hands of the Blue Wolf Army more than ten times, and he also saw the defeat of the Blue Wolf Country, so he dared to open a gamble game of "Blue Wolf Army vs. Jingnan Army" in Laojie Town.

"Old man, now I don't want to go to prison, and I said that it's okay." Gong Changyu said with a smile.

"General Gong, if this official joins you in front of Governor Jiang Changyi, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat and walk around." Jing Zhigang said with a full burp.

"Sir, just mind your own business. You have been in office for more than three years in Wuyou County, and you have no political achievements, and you have been an official in a mess, and you have won the reputation of a 'shadow county order'. General Ben helped you recapture Duliang City, and you also got me a trumped-up charge, I think you are tired of being innocent, right? Gong Changyu suddenly pulled out his sword and put it on Jing Zhigang's neck, "If it weren't for the white strip that you hit tens of thousands of taels of silver, I would have directly given you the Fa on the spot!" ”

"Gong Jichang, bold! This official is an official of the imperial court, and you are just a registered garrison of the Jingnan Army, and you have no right to hold this official accountable. Jing Zhigang stiffened his neck, "Cut me off, don't want to live." ”

"My lord, this is an extraordinary time, as long as General Ben says that you have neglected your duties, secretly communicated with the Blue Wolf Army, and robbed the treasury and shops in Duliang City, you will be guilty of death!" Gong Changyu looked serious.

"General, let's not talk about the Blue Wolf Army...... I'll take you to the palace and promise to give you a different surprise. Jing Zhigang grabbed the blade and gently removed the saber from his shoulder.

"Lord Jing, where is the royal city?" Gong Changyu withdrew his sword.

"Over there in Xuanfeng Tower." Jing Zhigang flicked the hem of his clothes, climbed into the position of the ox cart and sat down, and then said to Gong Changyu and Mr. Yin, "Go to the back of the carriage, and the official will personally drive the car for you." ”

"Lord Jing, you are so close to the people, drive a car for the old man." Mr. Yin clasped his fists and saluted, "Old decay can't afford it." ”

"Old man, this official has always been very close to the people, and he has to go to the countryside every month to inspect the people's situation." Jing Zhigang waved his hand, "Let's get in the car, I also have an addiction to driving ox carts." ”

"Lord Jing, it's better for General Ben to catch the car. You'd better go and sleep in the back. Gong Changyu dragged Jing Zhigang down.

"General, this ox cart is wide and windy, you just let me try it." Jing Zhigang climbed up with a smile, and Gong Changyu scrambled to catch the car, pulling and pulling.

The big scalper looked back, rolled his eyes, and screamed, as if to say, you two don't toss, whoever pulls the reins is the same, I have to walk. If you change people, you don't need me to pull you, I will obey you.

"Hey, you two don't argue. The old decay has no fame, just a grass people, and I am the most suitable to catch the car. "Mr. Yin came out to relieve the siege.

"As far as I'm the youngest, the eldest one goes out, and the younger one suffers, I can give you a ride, rightfully so." Gong Changyu pulled the reins tightly and didn't let go.

"Oh yes." Jing Zhigang and Mr. Yin nodded at the same time, and finally agreed to Gong Changyu to drive. The two of them finally made their way to the back of the car.

"In fact, it doesn't matter who drives, so why fight for it. The point is that I have to get the white strip of the river fish house done today, and the matter of building the fortifications must be solved for me within a week. Gong Changyu said while catching the car.

"General Gong, you can rest assured. The official hid tens of thousands of taels of silver in the tunnels of the palace, which was enough. Jing Zhigang said in the back. He has his own little Jiujiu, if he doesn't take out the silver, once the Blue Wolf Army occupies Wuyou City for a long time, it will dig three feet into the ground, and the silver can't be kept, so it's better to donate it and give yourself a way out.
