The battle of the Jingshi ended with a great victory for the Shun army.

The residents of the outer city who had fled the war returned one after another, and the dead silence of the outer city gradually returned to its former appearance, but within a few days, the streets of the mule and horse market were filled with peddlers and pawns again, and many shops on both sides of the street reopened.

There was a breakfast stall at the corner of the street, and the shopkeeper was wearing an apron and was standing by the stove to eat, when he suddenly saw a man with a bow coming from a distance, and hurriedly greeted with a smile:

"Hey, Yang Orion, when did you get back? Come, have a bowl of hot soup and go. ”

When the man heard this, he thanked him, went into the stall and sat down, carefully put aside the big bow and quiver on his back, and said to the shopkeeper, "I came home last night, and I had no food at home, and I was going to buy some rice grain." ”

The shopkeeper put a bowl of hot rice on the man's table, and handed him two freshly filled vegetarian buns by the way, steaming hot.

Xu had been standing by the stove for a long time, and the shopkeeper couldn't stop sweating, so he wiped his face with an apron.

"It's hard to buy rice now, and everything is okay at home?"

"It's all good, it's just that I don't eat much, the child doesn't have much milk, and the girl can't eat milk and makes a lot of noise."

Orion was originally talking while eating, but when he said this, he put down the bowl and said with a worried face:

"Brother, a few days ago, I went into the mountains to make up for my mother's game, but I didn't find a fart. Good guy, it's getting colder and colder every year, and it's time to go to war, and all the beasts in the mountains are dead, how can you live? ”

The shopkeeper sighed again and again after hearing this, and said, "Who said no, in this year, adults can't live, and children are purely living and suffering." However, I heard from the villagers from Henan that King Chuang treated us poor people like his own family in Henan, dividing land and distributing grain. ”

Orion was also hungry, so he solved the problem of eating in three or two sentences, wiped his mouth, and retorted: "I don't think it maybe, if it is really as he said, what is he still doing in Shuntian, is it not good to stay in Henan?" Whoever is the emperor is the bird of virtue, and there is no difference since ancient times. ”

"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense, give me the bowl, and my brother will give you a bowl and eat more. ”

When the shopkeeper was about to take the soup with a bowl, a soldier of the Shun army wearing an arrow suit walked in, and the shops of the entire Luoma market street were entered one after another.

"Master Jun is here, sit down, you want to eat something."

The leader of the Shun army, led by him, was high-spirited, and when he entered the store, he looked around.

When his eyes were on Orion, he stopped, and Yang Orion was also a fierce person, not dodging or avoiding, and looked at the leader of the Shun army.

Knowing that the business was important, the leader was not annoyed, and turned to the store and said, "According to the military order, I will exchange good land for rice, grain, oil and salt at home." Okay, let's get moving. ”

"Master Jun, do you have to take it all? There is no food in the field, and the winter is not good. The stall owner said helplessly, and even the chief didn't look at him.

After a while, seeing that all the things that could be eaten in the shop had been emptied, Shi Chang took out a small piece of paper from his arms and threw it to the stall owner, on which the word "Tian" was written crookedly.

"This is a credential, take it and go to the household department to lead the field, go!" After that, he led the crowd out of the house.

It's so deceitful! As soon as Yang Orion grabbed the big bow next to him, he was about to get up and scold angrily, but he saw that the stall owner was in tears, and kept shaking his head at himself, as if pleading.

Seeing that this was the case in the streets, in the houses, and in every household, the hunter was worried that his wife and daughter would come, so he stopped having seizures, said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and hurried home.

Since Li Zicheng killed a few sergeants who tortured him privately, the military discipline of the Shun army has improved a lot. At present, the matter of exchanging land for grain has aroused a lot of resistance from the people, and although they have done something during this period, they have reservations and have not killed anyone.

Yang Orion's house was to the east, and along the way, he heard the sound of crying and broken objects from someone's house, and Orion was so anxious that he silently thought of the safety of his wife and daughter, and took his bow and arrows while rushing away.

When he arrived at the door of the house, he saw a horse standing outside the door, and heard the cries of his wife and daughter, so he kicked open the door and raised his hand to shoot.

As the so-called puppet is angry, blood is splashed in five steps, do you care that you are the king of the army?

There are five big soldiers in the courtyard, who should be new recruits. One of them was fighting with Orion's wife for a piece of wheat cake, while the others stood by talking and laughing.

The door was kicked open, and the soldiers turned back in unison, looking alarmingly at the door. But he only heard a "boom", and the left eye of the person who grabbed the cake was instantly nailed into the arrow, and this heavy arrow went straight into the brain and had a hidden penetration.

Before the rest of the people could react, Orion drew his arrows and shot them again, and in a blink of an eye, three arrows flew away. "Puff puff", the sound of arrows entering the flesh sounded, and the three people were hit by arrows in the chest and fell to the ground. The last man was stunned by the archery, drew his blade, raised his hands and rushed to the door, slowly falling backwards.

In the quiver, after the four ancestral armor-piercing iron arrows were shot, Orion took out the light arrows made of animal bones, and pulled the bow and arrows in one go. Arrow after arrow, the last man was shot like a hedgehog and fell to the ground.

It wasn't until his wife ran over and hugged Orion's arm that he stopped.

Orion took the wheat cake from his wife's hand, came to the "hedgehog" and squatted down, held the wheat cake and said, "There is only one woman and one child in this house, and a piece of wheat cake!" Your mother wants to rob it too? ”

Although the man on the ground had many arrows on his body, he missed the vital point, but Orion deliberately left him to speak.

He knew that his life would be in danger when he encountered a ruthless person, but he did not beg for mercy.

His mouth was overflowing with blood, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Today you are strong, I admit it, what about tomorrow?" What about the day after tomorrow? Someone killed your whole family! ”

Yang Orion is also a person who does not suffer losses, and while strangling the bowstring around this person's neck, he scolded: "How many people are killed today, such as killing a chicken, and the face to mention the next day?" Keep your mouth peeled to play with the king of Hades, and when you meet Lao Tzu in the next life, you will be killed! Then he twisted it vigorously and sent this person to the king of Hades.

After killing Shunjun, the family must not be able to stay, so Orion hurriedly beckoned his wife into the house to pick up his daughter, and went to pack his bags. Orion's wife is also a strong person, and she didn't panic when her man killed the soldier, and she didn't even complain, but just followed silently.

Whether it's escape or death, it's good to have him by your side.

"Thank you for saving me, I will be useful in the future, and the military advisor will only need to call me." Gu Ying was about to kneel down as he spoke, but Song Xiance raised his hand to help him lightly.

"Master Gu doesn't need to thank me, it was Your Majesty's instructions that this official dared to let you go, and you should thank Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank Your Majesty for not killing!"

"If you go to Shanxi this time, don't tell anyone in Beijing, if you don't kill you this time, it is because you were loyal before, if you give trouble to Your Majesty again, even the immortals will not be able to save you."

Gu Ying nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Don't dare to make trouble anymore." ”

"To the outside world, I only call you dead, if the news leaks and causes criticism in the army, you should know what the consequences will be."

"Yes.. Yes, the villain would never dare. ”

Song Xiance brought a jujube red horse and said: "The accompanying things are prepared for you, if someone asks, you only say that it is from the back camp and will do things for me." ”

"In addition, you have also received this letter, and when you arrive in Datong, you will go to my house, give the letter to the steward, and I will arrange it for you. Needless to say, let's get out of town as soon as it gets dark. ”

Gu Ying has been in the green forest for many years, and he is a lawless lord, except for Liu Zongmin and Li Zicheng, there is no one who is willing to convince him. In today's situation, I was so moved by Song Xiance's actions that I was so moved that I willingly kowtowed three times, and then rode away on a fast horse, leaving Song Xiance alone silently thinking about something in place.

——

At night, it rained lightly.

More than 20 miles away from the capital, there is a dilapidated temple, there is only a dry place behind the Bodhisattva statue in the temple, Wang Chengen sits and leans against the corner, Chongzhen lies down, and his head is on Wang Chengen's lap.

Chongzhen chewed the grass, his mouth slightly bitter. This thing is called bran puff grass, like a grain of rice, it was picked up by Wang Chengen on the road, saying that he had eaten it before entering the palace when he was a child, and it was not poisonous and could fill the stomach, but it was bitter.

"Fortunately, I found such a small temple and could hide from the rain, otherwise we wouldn't have survived this rainy winter night."

"Huang Ye is blessed with all the sky, of course he can turn danger into a disaster, and even the old slaves will enjoy the blessings." Wang Chengen gave Chongzhen a haircut, and it has only been a few days, and there are lice in His Majesty's hair.

"What did you carry in your arms at the gate of the city before?" Chongzhen thought of this for no reason and asked.

"Huang Ye, it's the country..."Wang Chengen whispered in his ear.

"Hmm."

While the two were talking, they saw a person standing at the entrance of the temple. It was dark, and there was no fire in the temple, and he couldn't see the appearance of the figure clearly, Wang Chengen thought it was a chasing soldier, so he quickly shut up, and his thighs trembled slightly.

However, Chongzhen did not panic, no matter how bad the situation was, he had seen it all.

So he said, "Friend, I'm here to hide from the rain, come quickly, come here." ”

Hearing this, the man walked in, listened to the voice, walked to Chongzhen and sat down, although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, he could slightly see what he was holding in his hand, it seemed to be a flag.

"Guys, I'm sorry I didn't surprise you, did I?"

"It's okay, it's just that my companion hasn't spoken yet, how do you know I'm not the only one?"

"Hehe, the trail is at the entrance of the temple, and I consciously felt the induction of heaven and man, and I made a hexagram and calculated it."

When Chongzhen heard him say that he was a Taoist priest, he suddenly became curious, and asked again: "How many real people are there?" ”

"If you count the trail, there should be seven people in the temple."

Wang Chengen was originally afraid that it was a chasing soldier, so he didn't dare to speak, but when he heard this Taoist nonsense, he couldn't help but say: "I'm afraid that the Taoist chief has miscalculated, and there are only three people in you." ”

When the man heard him say this, he wondered if he had miscalculated, and his thumb played with the palm of his hand, and he stopped talking.

There was silence in the temple, and after about a quarter of an hour, the Taoist seemed to want to prove himself, and took the lead in speaking: "That friend, you might as well let Xiaodao test your words, right?" ”

Chongzhen immediately said a friend, and the Taoist asked, "I don't know what I want?" ”

"How is the affairs of the Ming Dynasty?"

The Taoist thought for a while and said: "The word friend, the reverse word is two heads, and there are two anti-thieves in the world." ”

After hearing this, Chongzhen thought to himself, this Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong rebellion is not a day or two, and it is not uncommon for a Taoist to go south and north, so he said: "The Taoist is wrong, what I said is whether there is or not." ”

"Hmm... There is no one, the big word goes to a pinch, the clear word goes to a day, if you ask about state affairs, it should be for the Ming Dynasty to lose half of the world. ”

Chongzhen was amazed, this word is really interesting.

Wang Chengen interjected: "What if it's unitary? ”

"If it is unitary, the word goes to the head and feet, and the ninety-five respect, there is no way to go to the feet, and there is no way to go, and the head is..."

The Taoist priest didn't finish his words, and Chongzhen hurriedly said: "If I say a love word, the real person may calculate my fortune?" ”

"Plum blossoms are easy, nothing is necessary." After the Taoist priest finished answering, he immediately calculated.

"Love words, three paintings on the left and eight paintings on the right, hexagrams, earth and fire, at this time it should be Yin, take three changes. I Ching has clouds, earth fire Mingyi, ninety-three, Mingyi in the south hunt, get its head. Thou shalt not be chaste. ”

As a Confucian classic, the Book of Changes is not a Taoist doctrine, and Chongzhen, as the Son of Heaven, has also read the Book of Changes, and knows that what the Taoist priest said is not a lie.

"This layman." After this hexagram, the Taoist priest changed his words and called Chongzhen a layman.

"The hexagram is far from Shangkun, which is the image of the sun sinking into the ground, which means that the future of the layman is unpredictable or harmful. If a layman wants to go south and get rid of the great harm, he must not be in a hurry. ”

At this moment, another person arrived at the gate of the temple, led the horse with one hand, and scolded in his mouth: "His grandmother's, your grandfather Gu has froze to death." ”

I can't imagine that the broken temple is so lively.
