The fifty-sixth year of Kangxi ended in a heavy snowfall. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info east from Fengtian, north to Rehe, from Shandong Henan to Shanxi Gansu and Shaanxi places, everywhere is surprisingly cold, the snow also comes particularly Qi, especially sudden. This sudden snowstorm has clothed the mountains and rivers with a layer of silver, and it also seems to echo the unquiet situation.

Kangxi became more and more tired of politics, so he simply let the deer in the Central Plains and let the princes chase him, and now it has reached the point where the bayonet is red. Those who chased in a hurry have fallen into bad luck, but they were inconspicuous in the early years, but they can stay steadily.

Things in the capital are becoming more and more unpeaceful, and the affairs on the frontier are getting bigger and bigger. Friction between Arabutan and Tibet in Western Mongolia intensified. Alabu led his army commander into Lhasa, killed the Tibetan king, and imprisoned the Dalai Lama. Kangxi sent two armies and horses to divide the troops to suppress. Rongguo Gong Jia Yu's side of the division was okay, steady and steady, with no results and no losses. On the other hand, the main force advanced lightly and was trapped on the banks of the Karawusu River. There was no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, no way to the sky, no door to the ground, and the 60,000 army was annihilated. When Rong Guogong got the news, he couldn't scream alone, so for the sake of safety, he simply retreated neatly.

The two armies lost their troops all the way, and returned all the way in vain, and the angry Kangxi dismissed Ortai, the secretary of the military department, and Jia pardoned and fined him for half a year, and returned to Beijing immediately; In addition, the main general, who had already died in battle, was even more harmful to his family - his home was directly raided.

It is precisely because of this that on this day of freezing and snow, Rong Guogong's team had to trek to the capital. Because after all, he didn't win the battle, Zhao Kun's team was very low-key, only brought ten guards from the Guogong Mansion, plus more than 30 personal soldiers, and when he was about to arrive in Shanxi, he added two civil officials from the military department - this was inserted in half with Kangxi's will, and the official position was not too high, so the group just moved forward in a light car.

Stopping and stopping along the way, the horse team entered Shanxi, just in time for the endless heavy snow at the end of the year. Along the way, the mountain road is getting more and more difficult to walk. Because of the heavy snowfall, it became more and more difficult to distinguish which was the road and which was the ravine. The team walked and walked, and they didn't know where they were going.

No, I finally passed the Niangzi Pass, and after a few days, I couldn't find the way again.

Zhao Kun rarely spoke along the way, and even when he encountered this situation, he only ordered the team to stop and let the two guards run to the front to find out the path. He himself sat on his horse, and continued his expressionless journey, holding the cold hilt of his sword at his waist and looking up at the still snowy sky.

"Grandpa," the pathfinder came back very slowly, but he came back anyway, "Master, we have come to a dead end again, and it is probably difficult to find a place to stay twenty or thirty miles ahead." However, there is a dilapidated mountain temple not far ahead, and the incense has long been broken, and there is not even a figure. Please show me, should we continue to walk? ”

Zhao Kun was not in a hurry to leave - or rather, he did not plan to leave Shanxi quickly before watching the play. So he turned his head and said to the two officers of the military department, "Whether to go or stop, we still have to listen to the opinions of these two." If it weren't for the urging of the two, in this kind of weather when the snow is about to close the mountain, my father would still be drinking in the city. ”

As soon as the two of them heard this, they hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and leaned over with a smile: "Grandpa Jia, you are humiliating and despicable in your words." Grandpa wants to say go, let's just roll and walk and follow behind; If the grandfather says that he will not leave, he will immediately clean up the place for the grandfather, and it will all be done according to the master's orders. Although the emperor's holy edict urged the grandfather to hurry up, it was also to ask the lowly officials to invite the Duke of Rongguo to enter Beijing, and there was no time limit. ”

"Grandpa, you old Shengming, you are just doing errands, and you can't help yourself. The lowly position is just a small five-grade official, what is said above is what, do we dare not listen? Anyway, you are always sympathetic, let's go to Beijing safely, and complete the mission, Grandpa, you don't have to suffer in this wilderness, right? If Grandpa doesn't want to leave, let's go to the mountain temple to rest. ”

This mountain temple is located on the top of a hill, and it seems that the people in the temple have long run out, and the valuable things in it are gone, leaving only an empty temple. However, the house was not damaged much, and when a group of people entered the yard, they began to tear down the railings and make a fire. Others went from house to house and prepared to set up.

Suddenly, a loud cry came from the room to the east: "What man! With the shouting, several soldiers ran over, but soon flew upside down.

Zhao Kun frowned: "What are you making fuss about?" Wang Er, take someone over to have a look! ”

Several of the guards immediately got up, shouted, and rushed to the room together, only to see three cloaked figures rush out after that. Two big men, one is very small, holding incense in one hand and a knife in the other, and as soon as the little man came out, he shouted: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Our brothers passed by here, rested their feet, and inadvertently collided with the military masters, please Haihan! ”

"Who are you?" Wang Er didn't rush to make a move, looked the other party up and down, and waited for a few people to surround each other from afar before asking. "Dare to rush into Rong Guogong's team, are you impatient?"

The three of them were all old rivers and lakes, and when they saw that things were not good, they had already been on full alert, and they flew back together with a whistle. The guards of the Guogong Mansion were about to shout and swarm up, but the other party went up to the wall in a few clicks.

At this time, the little man smiled and said: "Brothers, I don't know if it's a noble person who is here again, so let's accompany him first, but if the noble person wants to take it down with our senior brothers, he still can't catch it." As he spoke, they left silently.

"The subordinates are incompetent...... Wang Er hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Zhao Kun waved his hand, "It's okay, I heard before that those Jianghu people are going to hold a Tuyan conference in Taiyuan these days." All the masters of the major sects have arrived in Shanxi, and it is normal to meet a few good ones. I don't blame you for being inferior to others, but I'm all alert! ”

"Yes!" The guards and soldiers all came down in unison.

"Grandpa Jia deserves to be Grandpa Jia, he even knows the little things on the rivers and lakes, and he admires him!" One of the two officers of the military department also accompanied the smiling face and joined in the fun.

"Humph!" Zhao Kun had a cold face and glanced at him, "A trivial matter? That's no small feat! The person they wanted to kill was named Yan Nantian, and he was a key criminal in the imperial court! As soon as he debuted, he wantonly slaughtered people in the rivers and lakes under the banner of 'reorganizing the rivers and mountains', preached anti-Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and took human blood as fun. ”
