"What is Shen Zhixian doing, hurry up, I have something to say." Shen Ruchao's actions were beyond Uncle Li's expectations, and he quickly pulled him up, and said at the same time.

Shen Ruchao stood up, took Uncle Li's arm and returned to the inner room, took another sip of tea, and then said: "The old fairy doesn't know, the long-haired army under the command of Lin Reverse Fengxiang, all the way to conquer the city, such as into the realm of no one, has now entered the territory of Zhili, and even under Gaocheng, Xianxian, Jiaohe, Bozhen, Shenzhou and other cities, according to the fast horse report, the rebel vanguard has passed the shortcut, to the mouth of the red child, and the general will be under the city of Cangzhou, although the saint has sent Prince Hui Mianyu, Horqin County Wang Monk Greenqin led elite cavalry to chase and intercept, But Na Lin is very cunning, and the treachery of using soldiers is not inferior to the pseudo-wing king Shi Dakai, and the prince of Mian and the monk king are also tired of running for their lives, alas. ”

Seeing that Shen Ruchao's face was dark and sleepy, Uncle Li and Yang Yi did not answer, and quietly waited for Shen Ruchao to continue.

Taking a sip of cold tea, Shen Ruchao calmed down his mood and continued: "I really don't hide it from the old fairy and the little road chief, at the moment, the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion in Cangzhou City plus Xingyong Regiment Training, but only 3,000 people and horses, with 3,000 people to resist the army of 100,000 tigers and wolves, is tantamount to driving sheep into the tiger, and what makes Shen even more worried is that the White Lotus Society Party in Cangzhou City is ready to move, and wants to be the internal response of the Long-haired Army, internal and external troubles, how can it be embarrassing!" ”

Li Shu'er raised his eyebrows, shook his head slightly, and said, "Shen Zhixian doesn't want the real person to scatter beans into soldiers and cast spells to retreat from the enemy?" Hehe, this, forgive the real person who can't help it, it's not unwilling, it's really beyond his strength. ”

"Don't misunderstand the old immortals, it is the duty of officials to protect the territory and the people, and it is the duty of the courtiers to repay the grace with death, how dare the officials bother the old immortals, it's just that the strange things in Cangzhou City have happened repeatedly recently, and how weird it is, some foolish people are hyping up that it is a demon in troubled times, Cangzhou City is going to suffer a catastrophe, and for a time it is a panic, I am afraid that if it is allowed to continue, it will shake the morale of the army and disintegrate morale, and at the same time, it will also find a reason for those who will make trouble, so Shen has a reluctant request, can you bother the old fairy to do a magic thing, one to pray for my Cangzhou Li people, and the other to calm people's hearts, I don't know if the old gods promised? With that, Shen Ruchao stood up and knelt down towards Uncle Li again.

"Alas, alas, you kneeling around, is it the life of the real person, I watched the sky at night, the broken army and the starry night came to the top of Cangzhou City, three ups and three downs, the stars gradually dimmed, it is indeed not a good sign, so I rushed to the city in a hurry, just to see if I could find a way to help the people through this catastrophe, so, even if you don't open your mouth, the real person will help, but this is not in a hurry, the real person wants to walk around the city to see what dirty things are doing here." Uncle Li pressed Shen Ruchao back to the hard jujube chair and said in a deep voice.

Listening to Uncle Li's words, Shen Ruchao's face turned red with excitement, and he thanked Uncle Li again and again, but Yang Yi on the side almost jumped up and pointed at Uncle Li's nose and scolded: "Nima, your sister, your uncle, you fucking know that this Cangzhou city is haunted, and there are soldiers outside, and you tricked me in, can you still lose a little more?" ”

Uncle Li has been wandering the rivers and lakes for a long time, and when he saw Yang Yi standing up "Teng", his nose was not a nose and his face was not looking at himself panting, and he knew that he was going to break with himself, so he didn't wait for Yang Yi to speak, walked quickly to his side, and with a wave of his hand, there was an extra piece of rune paper with strange symbols painted on it and burning, and then, Li Shu'er pinched Yang Yi's chin with one hand, and the hand holding the rune paper quickly stuffed the rune paper ash into his mouth.

Obviously, his mouth was stuffed with hot ash, but Yang Yi felt a cold air go down his throat to his lower abdomen, and his whole body suddenly seemed to be soaked in ice water.

Seeing that Yang Yi had finally stopped, Uncle Li turned his head to look at Shen Ruchao with a sly smile: "I, a bad, occasionally feel cold, I am using rune paper to dispel illness and strengthen his body, hehe"

Shen Ruchao's face suddenly showed a look of reverence: "The old immortal Dao is profound, and it is the Heavenly Master who went down to earth to save the common people, this is really the auspicious fortune of my Qing Dynasty." ”

Uncle Li waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about those useless things, by the way, in the northwest corner of Cangzhou City, what is the place?" ”

"There is the mansion of the gentry Lu Jingtian, by the way, then the old man Lu understands the righteousness, destroys the family and relieves the difficulties, and takes the lead in donating nearly 10,000 taels of silver to buy guns and cannons to help the city defense, which can be called a model of the gentry, uh, forgive the official for talking too much, I don't know what the old fairy is asking these for?" After Shen Ruchao finished speaking, he also felt that he was too long-winded, so he stopped talking and got back to the point.

"Is it Lu Mansion?" Uncle Li sighed slightly, "Yes, I lived there for a while last year, how can it be that in just one year, a treasure land with excellent feng shui has become full of demonic energy, it is really a strange thing." ”

"The old immortal is really like a torch, in fact, in this Lu Mansion, the strange thing that Xia Guan just said has also happened, and it is still very tricky......" Shen Ruchao wanted to speak and stopped.

"What's weird, just say it and listen to it." Li Shu'er was stunned, and his accent was mixed with a slight northeast accent again, which made Yang Yi, who was still speechless, puzzled: when he used to read miscellaneous books, he remembered that Nurhachi and Huang Taiji raised troops from the northeast and eventually occupied the Central Plains, so starting from Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, the northeast region has always been regarded as the land of Longxing, in order to prevent feng shui from being destroyed, it is strictly forbidden to immigrate from Guannai to the northeast region, resulting in a sparse population in the northeast region, almost all of them are Manchu-speaking bannermen and a small number of Daur people who speak their own language. The aborigines of the Evenki nationality, why did they come out of thin air in the northeastern dialect of Gagachun?

Not to mention the doubts in Yang Yi's heart, he looked at Shen Ruchao again, rubbed his hands and gritted his teeth and thought for a while, and said: "In the past month, there have been continuous incidents of violent deaths in Lufu, if it is three or five dead, it is not surprising, people eat grains, how can they not get sick, death is just a short life, but the strange thing is that in the rest of the month, Lufu actually died five or six people in a row, and the symptoms of those deaths were all bleeding from seven holes, and the skin of the chest and abdomen was scratched by both hands. It's like there's something in your stomach. After receiving the report from the Lu Mansion, I personally took the deceased to the Lu Mansion for an autopsy, and after the deceased was disemboweled, I found that the five internal organs of the deceased had disappeared out of thin air without any damage on the outside, and there were honeycomb-like traces left by something crawling in the inner cavity of the deceased...... "Shen Ruchao wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, obviously remembering the terrible situation of the autopsy at that time, and still have palpitations.

"That's the case," Uncle Li pondered for a while, looked at Shen Ruchao and said, "Since that's the case, then I have to go to Nalu Mansion now." ”

"I don't want to rush the affairs of the Lu Mansion at this time, the old fairy is tired, you might as well go after having a meal in the county office, okay?" Shen Ruchao saw that Uncle Li was about to leave, so he hurriedly got up and arranged for his subordinates to prepare food.

"Don't bother," Uncle Li stretched out his hand to stop Shen Ruchao, with an irrepressible gluttony on his face, "The spicy hot pot chicken in Nalu Mansion is very authentic, it satisfies my appetite, hehe"

At this time, Yang Yi had already eased up and was able to speak, looking at Uncle Li'er's anxious look, he couldn't help but say: "Everyone is like that, you still want to eat, don't you have a long heart......

Uncle Li smiled and waved his hand, and there was another talisman in his hand, Yang Yi immediately shut up, he was really scared of this old liar.

Seeing that Uncle Li insisted on leaving, Shen Ruchao naturally didn't dare to stop him, so he had to shout loudly to find the sedan chair man and prepare a sedan chair for Li Shu'er and Yang Yi, so as to carry their master and apprentice to Lu Mansion.

"There is no need for a sedan chair, Shen Zhixian has always been honest, and I also admire this very much, just work for the carriage of the noble government and let us go to Lufu."

Shen Ruchao's face was a little pale, but seeing that Uncle Li was indeed not ridiculing him, he smiled gratefully, and ordered the soap servant who ran over to prepare the carriage.

For the dialogue between Li Shu'er and Shen Ruchao, Yang Yi was inexplicable next to him, of course he didn't know from the 21st century, since the Daoguang Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, although the country has been declining and dilapidated, and the people's livelihood is withering, but the social atmosphere is becoming more and more extravagant. But the cost is not small, a year, a sedan chair driver has to spend a thousand taels of silver, some officials with a thin family can only take mules, donkey cars (before Guangxu, the carriage is for eunuchs to work) to the yamen office, only when the need to support decent, show the style, will spend money to go to the sedan chair shop to hire a sedan chair driver to carry the sedan chair when the sedan chair is needed.

Shen Ruchao is a county order, the annual salary is only twenty taels of silver, and he has always been quite famous, in the late Qing Dynasty officials who are not officials and are not greedy, the eunuchs are shy and needless to say, therefore, Li Shu'er insisted on refusing to sit in a sedan chair, which is also a kind intention to sympathize with Shen Ruchao.

There is little gossip, and he sat on the middle saddle car pulled by the mule of the green tweed shed of the county government (according to the law of the Qing Dynasty, only the big man above the third grade can take the big saddle car that can open the door on both sides and has a spacious internal space), Li Shu'er made a joke to Shen Ruchao who was standing next to the car and a cadre of officials and masters, and then stomped on the floor of the carriage, and the person who drove the car had been ordered by the officials to go to Lufu, so he flicked the whip and drove the mule cart straight to the northwest.

Sitting in the car, Yang Yi looked at the squinting eyes and pretending to sleep for a while, and saw that the old liar had made up his mind not to speak first, so he couldn't help it, and said: "Okay, don't pretend to be asleep, it's not a joke!" No, the more I think about it, the more I feel that I have been yin by you, do I have a grudge with you in my last life, why do you repeatedly cheat me, are you addicted to play or are you so idle? ”

"Where do you start, why did I cheat you, ah?" Yang Yi said this, and Uncle Li couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he had to open his eyes and pretend to be confused with an innocent face.
