Section 7 Misfortune Sacrifices

The rain outside the curtain was ticking, and this begged spring rain lasted for three days, and Li Chengzu stayed in my residence for three days because of this!

He was very hesitant and hesitant, wanting to ask me something, but he couldn't say it, probably because he was worried that I would calculate something for him, so that he would know his inner thoughts, and he was afraid that he would be killed by the East Window incident. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But he refused to leave, as if he was expecting something, and the contradiction in his heart made him depressed, just sitting in front of the bamboo curtain all day silently watching the rain outside.

This time the rain was very successful, the rain was very small but long-lasting, and it only fell intermittently and incoherently every day, and did not bring any flooding.

Several children were playing in the mud, and after a while, their songs came from outside the door: "The sky and the earth are easy for the old master, and the remnants of the country are on the way to the west; when they find the mediocre land, they will settle down, and the poor people will be barren and the country will be difficult to recover; the heavenly court has mercy on the Qin relics, and Fangling has sent the fairy children to the army; to solve the problems and eliminate the bandits, and the people will rain to save the suffering." ”

I was amazed that someone else had made such a ballad for me, and the children were all singing about it.

Li Chengzu smiled after hearing this, and said to me with great satisfaction: "Xiantong really won the hearts of the people, Xiantong has such a powerful ability, I don't know where the teacher is?"

This Li Chengzu obviously knows that I am not a real immortal, and now he is back to find out my details!

All my skills are taught by the Great Wizard, but in this world, no one probably knows who the Great Wizard is, although the Great Wizard is nominally my master, but he has never taught me a skill, and all these things I will learn from those left secret books.

So I replied casually: "This is self-taught, and there is no teacher! Why do you still have doubts about this question?"

Li Chengzu was taken aback after hearing this, shook his head again and again and said: "No, no, no, it's just that such an extraordinary skill can be self-taught, this is a natural talent, isn't the fairy child really an immortal outside the world?"

I smiled and said, "I am a mortal body, not an immortal! If I were an immortal, I should have gone down to drive the Huns to bless my Great Qin, why did I come here after the death of the country?"

After hearing this, Li Chengzu nodded again and again and said: "It makes sense, the fairy child is meticulous and every word, it is very human, the title of the fairy child is not exaggerated, it is really famous!

I smiled slightly, you kid is finally willing to open his mouth to solve, I smiled and said: "Noble man, it doesn't matter, if there are any difficulties, I will do my best to help!"

Li Chengzu immediately bowed and thanked him, and then he sat down at the table and sorted out his thoughts, and then said to me slowly: "Just as Xiantong said, I am the descendant of Li Si, the prime minister under the command of the First Emperor of the Great Qin! How virtuous the ancestors were, they helped the First Emperor to unify the six countries and pacify the world, and also ruled the empire and all the people with the law, which was deeply valued by the First Emperor! As a descendant, I have now become a slave of the country, and I have to work hard for the Huns for the sake of the people! Every family sacrifice is washed with tears, and it is really shameless to face the ancestors and ancestors! As a descendant of the Great Qin, I should have gone west to be loyal to the new lord, but I am looking at the ignorant monarchs on the ground, and there are no virtuous ministers and good generals to assist the government, and all the counties are selfish, and the government and the opposition are chaotic and the people's livelihood is suffering, and it is really difficult to make a difference!"

After saying that, Li Chengzu lowered his head and sighed in pain, judging from his expression, he and the hermit old man in the valley also have a patriotic heart, but it's a pity that the luck is not good, and the descendants of the Great Qin royal family are too mediocre!

After listening to this, I sighed a little emotionally, and asked him: "So the noble man is sad every day because of this, and he can't be assisted by Mingjun, and he has lofty ambitions in his heart but there is no place for them!"

Li Chengzu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, looked at me silently, and only nodded and replied after a few seconds: "That's right, can the fairy child help me untie the knot and show me a clear path?"

I smiled slightly, and said loudly: "The noble man is already in the Xiongnu country, and he should be loyal to the lord and defend the side! If Da Dan Yu can treat all the people well, even if the ruler is a Huns, he can also be called a Ming monarch, and he can still assist him!"

Li Chengzu laughed a few times dismally, and then asked me rhetorically: "If Da Dan Yu poisons my descendants of Great Qin, what should I do?"

I replied without hesitation: "If the emperor often bullies the people, and he can only live by forbearance for the sake of his subjects and the people; if the emperor does not allow the people to live and forces the people to rebel, the people will have to rebel! If it is really at that time, my descendants of the Great Qin will also have the people of the Yongguo on the west side, and all the people will raise troops to welcome them, the Xiongnu can be broken, and the Great Qin can be restored!"

Li Chengzu was shocked after hearing this, and hurriedly asked: "The meaning of the fairy child, implying that we should settle down in Wancheng first and wait for the situation to see how it changes?"

I looked up at him and asked, "Could it be that Da Shan Yu is a mediocre person, how can you be so decadent?"

Li Chengzu sighed sadly: "The Huns are evil in human nature, after entering the Central Plains, they only care about fish and flesh, and their descendants of the Great Qin have never treated the people well, and the thieves have long been notorious, and everyone will be punished, just because of their great power, although they provoke the anger of the public, they dare not move!"

After listening to this, I also sighed and said: "It's a pity that my Yongguo has long fallen, otherwise I can take the opportunity to counterattack the Xiongnu and save the people from the water and fire!"

Li Chengzu shook his head and said: "There are few poor people in the Yongguo, even if there are Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers alive, it will be difficult to become a climate in the end! The sky is vast, and the road ahead is confused and difficult to choose! I wonder what the fairy child plans to do in the future?"

I replied truthfully and said: "I have already planned, I should stay here to save the people of Yongdi first, and then try to plan the Huns!"

Li Chengzu looked at me in surprise after hearing this, and after a long time, he nodded slowly and said: "The fairy child is a great talent, and there must be a good plan for the country in his chest, we will wait for the emperor in Wancheng, and don't forget the immortal honor!"

I nodded and replied: "The nobles should be more vigilant in the future, and everything should be based on the overall situation! When I look at your face, I know that the nobles will definitely soar in the future, but the princes and kings of the ten counties can be in charge of the official residence! But everything is not absolute, and there are often a few variables, and the nobles should do it and cherish it, remember to seize the opportunity!"

Ancestor Li Cheng was shocked, and after pondering for a long time, he nodded knowingly!

He thanked me repeatedly, then got up to say goodbye, and immediately left Fangling City in the rain with his entourage.

What Li Chengzu said is completely my personal opinion, as for whether he will be an official and a prince in the future, this is a conclusion deduced from the yin and yang gossip, and there will be no falsehood!

It's just that the current situation is not very clear, and the yin and yang gossip is also very vague, so I don't know if he, the prince and king, is an official of our Huaxia people, or an official given by the Huns, which is unknown!

I think I will definitely participate in the war between the Yongguo and the Xiongnu Empire in the future, if I can win over this Li Chengzu, maybe it will bring me a lot of convenience in the future! This is a move I have arranged after I came to this world, and if I want to do a good job here, it will definitely not work without a certain plan and arrangement!

However, just when I was triumphant, a bad news soon came from Yongzhou!

Wang Xianyuan is a businessman, he often makes big deals between Fangling and Yongzhou, and his news is the most well-informed!

On the night of Li Chengzu's departure, Wang Xianyuan hurried to my residence in the rain, saying that Yongzhou heard that someone in Fangling was worshipping the sky and asking for rain, so he appointed a priest to come to Fangling to investigate the matter!

I looked at Wang Xianyuan's very anxious appearance, and asked very puzzled: "Wang Gongzi, he is just a priest, why are you so flustered?"

Wang Xianyuan immediately approached me, lowered his voice and said to me: "Lord Xiantong, this is also an appearance! A few days ago, when I was praying for rain in the city, someone saw Li Chengzu, the Nanyang County Guard of the Huns, blending into the crowd, and this person was a visitor of Lord Xiantong, and Yongzhou had already learned about this! Yongzhou ostensibly appointed a priest to come to Fangling, but in fact, the priest brought an army of 1,000 people, and the purpose was to arrest Lord Xiantong!"

I frowned and asked, "But the Nanyang County Guard came here just to find my face, what crime did I commit, why did you arrest me?"

Wang Xianyuan was very impatient, and immediately explained: "Oh, Lord Xiantong, you may not know much about this kind of thing! Then Nanyang County Shouben was the commander of the first army of the Xiongnu, and if you come here to have a private meeting with you, you may be suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason!"

After listening to this, I said angrily: "Ridiculous, I am a cloth cloth, I have no power and no soldiers in my hands, how can I collaborate with the enemy and commit treason?"

Wang Xianyuan sneered: "What you say is indeed reasonable, I believe you, and the people of Fangling will also believe it, but Yongzhou is deeply afraid because of this!"

I knew that things might be a big problem, I never thought that seeing a Xiongnu county guard would cause such a huge trouble, and I would be charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason, this Nima is a serious crime of the Nine Clans!

I'm panicking, Nima, the world here is too terrifying!

Wang Xianyuan was calmer, he immediately ordered Zhang Tiedan to help me pack my clothes and protect me from Fangling City overnight!

In the middle of the night, the rain was drenching my whole body, and I looked very at a loss when I came to the outside of Fangling City, and I really couldn't decide where to go.

Zhang Tie Dan opened his mouth and said: "Lord Xiantong, why don't we go to the southwest village for the time being to settle down, the Cheng family and others are worthy of trust, and they can take care of it!"

I was already scared of the six gods, it happened so suddenly, and now I don't have a clue, so I have to follow his arrangement first!

Fortunately, I had been kind to the poor people in the village, and everyone respected me very much, and when they saw me hurrying in the rain, they immediately beckoned me to come into the house to rest.

Early the next morning, before dawn, I planned to go out immediately with Zhang Tietang and continue to escape!

Unexpectedly, the door was crowded with my fathers and villagers, all of whom were poor people in Fangling who I had placed in this village! When I heard that I was in a hurry to leave, everyone came to save me, hoping that I would stay!

I said to the crowd, "I can't tell you the truth, due to some misunderstandings, I have now become a repeat offender of the imperial court!

One of the old men, he leaned on crutches and cried out with great sadness: "The fairy child has benefited me and the world knows that the world knows how to treat you as a prisoner! What is the matter with this world, what kind of heavenly principle is this?"

Later, many poor people shouted for me, complained for me, and showed that they trusted me! Seeing this situation, I was a little moved, but in order not to implicate these innocent people, I urged Zhang Tie to leave immediately and leave here quickly!

I don't think there's anything to do but go back to the original valley for a while to take refuge, and there's no way to do it!

As the two of us went south along the river into the mountains, a group of men and horses suddenly chased after us, and we were so surprised that we hurriedly looked back!

I know all these people, I don't think they should have come to arrest me, there must be something else. Since the imperial court secretly sent people to arrest me, this matter must not be made public, so the county government of Fangling should not receive a secret order from the imperial court! This incident can be seen that Yongzhou does not even trust the county government of Fangling, so he personally sent a large army from Yongzhou to carry out the mission! Even his own county government does not trust, this court is really sad, such a Yongguo monster has to be favored by Li Chengzu.

Zhang Tiegan and I stopped our horses, waited for Ma Zhutou and them to arrive, and asked them, "Ma Zhutou, you are in such a hurry all the way, is there something wrong?"

Ma Zhutou replied anxiously: "Oh, Lord Fairchild, it seems that you have already figured it out, so you left alone! But Lord Fairchild, you have always been very good to us and solved problems for us, but why did you leave us alone this time?"

I frowned and asked, "I'm already a criminal in the imperial court, so it's naturally better to stay away from everyone, so as not to drag everyone down, how can I teach everyone to leave everyone alone?"

Ma Zhutou sighed and said: "The imperial court is mediocre, and the Yongguo follows the old law of the Qin State, and the Qin law is harsh and will punish the nine clans at every turn, and even the neighbors in the township will not let go! Now the fairy child is burdened with the trumped-up felony of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and my Fangling County government is unaware of the same crime; all the people of Fangling have watched the fairy child sacrifice to the sky and ask for rain, and they are full of praise for the fairy child, but I am afraid that the people of Fangling will not be able to escape the blame! According to the consistent cruel methods of Prime Minister Wang Cheng, I am afraid that the people of Fangling will be slaughtered because of this!"

I exclaimed, "What? This, this is ridiculous!"

Ma Zhutou said anxiously: "The county magistrate said that Lord Xiantong is from the southwest mountains, and you must return from here, so I ordered me to come and chase after you, so that Lord Xiantong must take everyone to escape together!"

As soon as I heard this, I wondered, I don't know where the way out is, how can I take the county officials and the gang away?

But before I could think about it, the sound of countless carriages and horses came from the same place! I looked for prestige, and saw that the river valley on the north side was densely packed with people, and it was not only the people of the county government who fled, but also the people of the entire Fangling Tomb!

The disaster was caused by myself, and I shouldn't have taken Li Chengzu to show up to participate in the sacrifice, I have made up my back on this burden! There are more than 10,000 people in Fangling City, and the total number of people living near the city is as high as more than 100,000! Such a huge number of refugees have to follow me, isn't this food ration problem a top priority, what to eat!

Just when I was worried about everyone's rations, the fat county magistrate drove over and said to me urgently: "Oh, Lord Xiantong, you wait for us, don't go in such a hurry!"

I frowned and asked, "County master, you brought so many people to escape with me, you are taking them to a dead end!"

The county magistrate panted and said: "How can it be? If I don't take them away, tomorrow when the Yongzhou army arrives, the people of the whole city will die!

I asked rhetorically: "But county magistrate, have you ever considered what we will eat along the way, how we will settle so many people in the future?"

After hearing this, the county magistrate smiled happily, he turned around and pointed to the countless convoys behind him and said: "Lord Xiantong, please see, we, the people, have long been accustomed to moving and fleeing! In such a war-torn time, everyone has learned a skill, that is, they can pack up their belongings and escape quickly in a very short time! Look at them, they have carried all their belongings into the car together, and they have all the food and supplies with them!" When the time comes, find a remote place, just give them some soil and land, they can reclaim the cultivated land and support themselves, and we don't have to worry about anything!"

I sneered: "Even if you find land for them to cultivate, it is not a matter of one day for the crops to ripen, so what do you let them eat for such a long time?"

The county magistrate said with a smile: "Oh, this! On the side of the river pass in the direction of Gucheng, it is the only outlet of our Yongguo to the east! In order to prevent the Xiongnu from invading our Yongguo, we have a large army stationed there all the year round, and their military rations are naturally supplied by our Fangling, so our Fangling is also a large place for military grain hoarding! Since we chose to flee in order to survive, we will naturally take these military rations with us, so as not to starve everyone in the future, I think that it should not be a big problem to maintain the crops in the field to have a harvest! ”

This county official seems to be just a mediocre moth who fishes for oil and water, but I didn't expect that when he was in trouble, he still took care of the people of Fangling! His parents in this place are not very derelict in their duties, and everything is considered for the people is very thorough, I really underestimate him!

It seems that the hermit old man and I had been talking about immigrating into the valley and reclaiming the mountainous land to settle down and buy real estate can be put into action! Although the number of people is a little insufficient to support this place to become a county, the problem of building a county is still possible!

Thinking of this, I made a decision on the spot, immediately let the big guy evacuate quickly and go directly west along the river into the valley!

After staying in Fangling for a month, I have a rough idea of the location of this valley! This valley should be located under the Shangyong Basin, adjacent to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River in the south, which is the area south of the Shenlongjia, and in fact, it should be more convenient to enter Hubei from here than to enter the Shangyong area!

Ignore these for now, anyway, in these areas in the mountains, those rulers in ancient times rarely asked about the situation in the mountains, and it is safer to place all the people in the mountains!

The rain began to fall overhead again, and we braved the rain to continue our walk westward, and finally entered the valley!

I have organized the servants and catchers to act as temporary guards for our fleeing crowd, and let them be stationed at the entrance first, so that they can enter the valley and pass the word as soon as there is a situation!

Hey, I originally wanted to devote myself to the great cause of restoring the country and do a good job! I didn't expect that after only wandering around Fangling, I would soon return here.

Seeing that I had returned to the valley with a large number of people, Zuo Chengfu happily came down the mountain to greet me, so I had to immediately arrange for the people to be stationed on the spot to rest first, and when I found the hermit old man, I came to discuss the matter of relocating the people!
