Chu Taiqing forty-four years

Linchuan City, Yuezhou

Linchuan City is located in the southeast of Chu State, in the 20th year of the Taiqing Dynasty, Emperor Chu Wei Yuan divided Yangzhou into two, with Poyang Lake as the boundary, Hunan set up Yuezhou, Hubei is still Yangzhou. Yuezhou south neighbor Jiaozhou, west Tongjingxiang, east to Wuyue capital Linchuan is the southeast of the important town easy to defend and difficult to attack, Taiqing 21 years Wei Yuan will be the third son of the emperor Wei Ji feudal domain here, is the king of Linchuan and lead the history of Yuezhou thorn. Wei Ji is actually not outstanding among the sons of Emperor Chu Wei Yuan, although he is a sister-in-law, but his indisputable character has allowed him to live relatively comfortable in the undercurrent of Chu for decades.

Linchuan Wangfu is located in the east side of Linchuan City, was built in Taiqing Dynasty 19 years took two years to complete, the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate hangs the golden silk nanmu plaque, the inscription of the dragon and phoenix dance on the top is "Linchuan Wangfu" four big characters, the palace silver-topped red door, the high wall of the deep courtyard, make people feel solemn spontaneously.

Now the hour is approaching, the moon is in the sky, and the entire Linchuan City is very quiet at night. However, the brightly lit Linchuan palace in the east of the city seems out of place with the surroundings.

In the council hall, King Weiji of Linchuan sat with a serious face, and His Royal Highness sat two people, namely the left chief Shi Yang Jun who was in charge of internal affairs and the right chief Shi Ren Lian who was in charge of military affairs. Both of them are the old men of Wei Ji's cronies in the palace, and they have followed Wei Ji since when he was in the domain.

"Late at night, the two Qing families were invited, and the king apologized first." Wei Ji spoke first

"The prince has said it, it must be very important to summon me to come late at night, please show it to the prince." Sheep, Ren and the two hurriedly bowed and saluted

Wei Ji also stopped greeting, motioned for the two to sit down, and then glanced at the chamberlain beside him, who hurriedly brought a letter to the two, and both of them were shocked when they saw it.

Yang Jun was surprised and asked, "Lord Wang, what is the truth of what this Fuzhou Taishou said?" ”

Without waiting for Wei Ji to speak, Ren Lian, who was born in the army, answered angrily: "This matter is not trivial, how dare he talk nonsense." A few days ago, heavy rain fell, the water of the Juliu River rose sharply, several embankments burst one after another, and several counties were affected. ”

Yang Jun looked at Wei Ji Tie with a blue face and didn't speak, and hurriedly made a round: "Lord Wang, please be relieved, the letter only said that the prince's car was robbed, and did not say that the prince was captured or killed, and the minister thought that the prince should have escaped by taking advantage of the chaos, and the prince of the world would have no big problem with his own heavenly help." ”

Ren Lian also stood up and patted his chest and abdomen and said: "Don't worry, the last general will send troops to Fuzhou to find people, and ensure that the prince is safe." ”

"Hey! In this way, there is a family of Lao Erqing, and Yang Qing has urged the state capitals to open the people's warehouses to help the victims in the past few days, and continue to write to Jiankang to open the official warehouses and repair the embankment. Then the matter will be troublesome to General Ren. Wei Ji leaned back on the throne and muttered a command.

Sheep, let the two of them make a promise, they will retreat.

"There is also a letter that says that if someone instigates the victims, let us investigate it secretly, and do not startle the snake. and the affairs of the son of the world shall not be preached. ”

"Wait for you to understand!"

When the two of them retreated, Wei Ji was like a deflated ball spread on the throne, saying that Wei Ji is also fifty this year, the first son died early, the second is a girl named the lord of Jincheng, and the third son will have nothing to say, it can be said that this little son is the heart of the family, this time the princess's mother Mrs. Wu is 70th birthday, the child is angry, and he heard that Fuzhou Jinyu skillful craftsman is superb, so he rushed to Fuzhou to personally choose a birthday gift for his grandmother, who would have thought that on the way back to call someone to rob. Fortunately, Fuzhou Taishou He Ju sent soldiers and horses to escort before leaving, and the two sides fought fiercely and the prince took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the soldiers who escaped escaped fled back to Fuzhou to report the matter before they had this letter in the hall, and the letter finally reported some other hidden information.

"It is no coincidence that a crowd gathered to hijack the car of the prince of Linchuan, although he saw the officers and soldiers doing it." Thinking of the report behind the letter, he reported that someone was secretly inciting the victims, Wei Ji couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart.

The flickering candlelight reflected Wei Ji's old face, "God bless the stinky boy and be safe." ”

Besides, Zhang Jian's side, the two of them listened to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer in the thatched house, Zhang Jian was excited, and finally saw someone else and there was a means of transportation, it would be better if he could take himself for a while, this little body is really tired and can't walk. But Wei Ze beside him couldn't sit still, and saw Wei Ze's face full of horror, holding the dough cake in his left hand, and dragging Zhang Jian with his right hand. "Hurry... Run! ”

"Run?" Suddenly, Zhang Jian seemed to realize something, this Wei Ze is not just as simple as getting lost in play.

Zhang Jian grabbed Wei Ze's collar and asked sharply: "You didn't tell the truth, did you, you didn't get lost while playing, right?" ”

Wei Ze dodged Zhang Jian's gaze in horror and muttered, "I... I didn't mean to, I just harmed... Afraid. ”

Zhang Jian saw his aggrieved appearance, and his heart softened, and it was not easy to attack again.

"These people from outside are arresting you?"

"Me neither... I don't know. ”

Zhang Jian frowned, no matter who came now, it was not easy to face it directly, so it was better to hide and see the situation first. Without saying anything, he directly pulled Wei Ze, who was frightened, and dodged into the thatched pile in the back room. At the same time, people outside the house had arrived, only to hear a rough voice sound, "Fifth brother." There's a thatched hut here. The brothers have been looking for the turtle son for a long time, so why don't you rest here. There was silence for a while, it should be that the fifth brother was a little hesitant, "Okay, take a break and don't miss the big thing." Then several people dismounted and walked into the thatched hut.

They were resting, and Zhang Jian and Wei Ze, who were hiding in the back room, had their hearts in their throats. The men who were called the fifth brother cautiously glanced around the grass hut and sat down to rest when they saw that there was nothing abnormal.

"Fifth brother, I didn't expect that there were still two officers and soldiers in Fuzhou, and we set up an ambush and they ran a few of them." The rugged man said vaguely as he gnawed on the jerky.

"It's really a bit unexpected, I didn't think that he would send troops and horses to escort, this time we are careless to underestimate the enemy, if you don't see him, it will be a mess, and it's not good to go back and explain to Mr.

The rugged man didn't think so, and said with a smile: "Fifth brother, think about it, that kid can't run far without a horse, and after dawn, we look for material along the road, and that kid can't escape." There was a flood in the Juliu River, and the soldiers and horses in the state city were all put down, so the old man He was powerless and couldn't manage this side, haha. ”

"Hopefully, I see that kid is panicked and doesn't choose the way, if he can find himself, it's good, if he can't find him, it's really hard to explain."

What a few people outside said was inadvertent, Zhang Jian and Wei Ze in the haystack were so frightened that their hair stood on end, and the group outside didn't need to be combined to know that it was the group that chased and killed Wei Ze, and it was inevitable that they had been planning for a long time. Zhang Jian smiled bitterly in her heart, "Ma Mami, Lao Tzu has just been reincarnated, he is so energetic, is this preparing for a second reincarnation, if I am found out now, I said that I came out to make soy sauce, can they let me go?" Turning his head and looking at Wei Ze next to him, this kid was probably stupid, still holding the dough cake in his left hand, and looking ahead with dull eyes. Zhang Jian sighed helplessly in his heart, and at this time, several thoughts appeared in his mind unconsciously, and when he closed his eyes, it was another battle between heaven and man.

Zhang Jian originally thought that he had been working in his previous life, but compared to now, it was a pediatric, and he really wanted those people outside to get out of the way quickly.

I don't know how long it took, but these people finally had the intention of leaving, "Da Niu, we are doing something important, and you are drinking again." ”

"Hehe, fifth brother, don't worry, I just drink less to warm my body, and I can't miss a big thing." Seeing this reckless man's attitude of burping wine and not caring about it, the fifth brother had long been used to it, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

"Okay, okay, you're all fed and rested, hurry up and don't miss the road."

"Drive, drive!"

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves outside, the two people in the haystack finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they were afraid that this group of people would kill the horses, so the two still did not dare to move in the haystack. Looking at Wei Ze beside him, Zhang Jian fell into deep thought, "Rebirth in this world has become a fact, and I don't feel so shocking that I have been influenced by the Internet in the new era, mainly because the current form does not allow me to think wildly, in the end, Wei Ze's matter has nothing to do with me, and the best thing to do now is to go away, but when I saw the helpless eyes, Zhang Jian couldn't make up my mind, it seems that I still grow up under the red flag, full of positive energy, I can't do this, hey!" Let's take one step at a time. ”

The two of them hid in the grass in a daze until the sky was bright, and the hunger and thirst finally made Zhang Jian unbearable, "It's not a way to hide like this, even if you don't get caught, you have to starve to death and die of thirst." ”

In the end, Zhang Jian decided to give it a go out to see if there were any people nearby, even if he couldn't find something to eat, he had to find saliva to drink.

Before leaving the house, Zhang Jian asked Wei Ze to take off his brocade clothes and change into his own tattered cloth robe, while he only wore a short fight inside. casually stuffed the clothes that had changed the guards into the stove pit, and the two walked out of the grass hut nervously.

On the winding path, the two of them walked in rags and unkempt, Zhang Jian had analyzed where to go, Wei was robbed in Fuzhou, and the nearest direction of the two was to go to Fuzhou, but these people had already planned to ensure that there was no ambush outside Fuzhou, and finally Zhang Jian decided to go in the direction of Linchuan, although there were also risks, but the latter obviously had more room for maneuver. Zhang Jian looked around cautiously as he walked, but Wei Ze, who followed behind, obviously couldn't keep up with Zhang Jian's pace, "Brother Zhang! Brother Zhang! I was tired, hungry and thirsty, and I couldn't walk. So saying, he sat down on the side of the road. Zhang Jian had no choice but to stop and persuade: "Hold on a little longer, maybe there will be someone in front of you who will have food and drink at that time." ”

"Brother Zhang, you won't leave me alone, will you?" Wei Ze asked dejectedly.

Looking at Wei Zetong's red eyes and the tears rolling in his eyes, Zhang Jian sighed helplessly: "Don't worry, if you and I leave early, help others to the end, this is called Lei Feng's spirit." ”

"Lei Feng?"

"A good person, don't ask what you shouldn't."

"Oh!"

"Okay, let's rest enough, hurry up, if we run into those people, we will be ruined."

After hearing this, Wei Ze wanted to ask what "waste" meant, but when he looked up and saw Zhang Jian rolling his eyes, he had to swallow the words again.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance again, "I, do you want to carry it like this", Zhang Jian has now really experienced what it means to have no way into the sky, there is no way to enter the ground except for trees, and there is no way to climb trees or anything, even if you climb up, once you are discovered, you really can't tell if you have a mouth. and the frightened Wei Ze next to him, Zhang Jian's brain suddenly went blank.

The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer, and there is nowhere to hide, and you can't run, so let it be fate,

"Phew! Sigh! ”

Seeing that seven horses carrying people with smoke and dust had already arrived, Zhang Jian lowered his head and grabbed Wei Ze's hand to forcibly maintain his composure.

"Hey! Where did you two come from, haven't you seen a young man in fancy clothes? "Listening to the voice, it should be the little leader who was called the fifth brother last night.

"We are victims from Fuzhou, no... I've never seen any young people in fancy costumes. Zhang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately dressed up before coming out, and now the two of them are like two grizzled victims who have not been recognized at all.

The little leader who was called the fifth brother sat on the horse and circled around the two of them a few times, and then handed a look to the few people next to him, Zhang Jian saw that someone stretched out his hand to the handle of the knife, and secretly screamed in his heart, a bad heart, suddenly mentioned his throat, and he didn't care about anything anymore, and hurriedly shouted: "I seem to have seen a person who is very well dressed, but I saw that he was covered in dust and looked panicked, and I don't know if it is the person you said." ”

The little leader listened to the anxious questioning; "Where did you meet, tell me quickly!"

Zhang Jian saw that the hands of several people reaching for the hilt of the knife stopped, and he was immediately relieved, but he had to make it up: "There is a broken grass hut on the way here, and he rested there when we passed by."

"Fifth brother, it can't be the thatched hut we stayed in last night, right?" One of them came over and reminded.

"I can't care so much, Da Niu will take the two of them and we'll go over to have a look."

Anyway, Zhang Jian was secretly happy when he saw that they believed it, and then he almost fainted when he heard that he was going to take them with him.

"Isn't this a wasted effort to tell stories to the deaf. Toss for a long time, damn it, you have to die. Zhang Jian was completely resigned to his fate, turned his head to look at Wei Ze beside him and sighed lightly, brother, I did my best.

Just when the two of them were at a loss for what to do and were ready to accept their fate, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance again, but this time it was loud and it seemed that there were quite a few people. I saw that the faces of several people immediately changed, and they all looked at the little leader.

The person who was called the fifth brother closed his eyes and listened carefully for a while, shook his head and said: "The response should be no less than a hundred horses, very close, very close, not good." ”

"Fifth brother! So what should we do? Several people asked anxiously

"Don't panic just yet! I don't know who it is, whether it's coming at us, let's wait and see what happens. With that, several people held their breath and stared, pressing the hilt of their knives with their hands and looking ahead.

The speed of this person was also extremely fast, and he appeared at the head of the road in an instant, Zhang Jian raised his eyes and saw a large group of cavalry in black armor and black armor. Just when Zhang Jian was shocked by the momentum of this cavalry, he suddenly heard the little leader shouting at the top of his voice, "The wind is tight, go quickly!" With that, he turned the horse's head, whipped the horse's ass a few times, and galloped away. Seeing this, the remaining few people didn't think much about it, and hurriedly turned their horses' heads and followed. The big bull was also about to drag Zhang Jianwei and the two of them on the horse, Zhang Jian saw that there was a way to live and how could he be caught by him, so he used all his strength to pull away the big hand stretched out by the big bull, and shouted: "Big brother!" Hurry up, little brother! The big bull was suddenly stumped by Zhang Jian's sudden words, and when he wanted to catch people again, the horsepower was already up and instantly rushed out of the distance, Zhang Jian turned his head to look at the big cow that was gradually moving away, and he pursed his lips and nodded firmly.

Big Bull "······! ”
