Volume 1, The Wind Rises in Shu Chapter 31, More than 1,000 Miles to Jinglu 6
Zhao Zhengli's dark skin visibly faded to the naked eye, as if the dark clouds had dissipated, revealing a fair and handsome face, red lips with a look of precious light, and sword eyebrows; The face is like a crown of jade.
Zhang Ziya is like a ghost; Frightened and incoherent: "This and this ......"
Yu Xiaowei and Li Zhanyi also stared at each other, and their lips were full of puzzlement.
The Bijia sisters hurriedly helped Zhao Daochang of the soil pit up, and then fed him a pill of Qi Nourishing Pill, using true qi to help him digest, the eyelashes of the well-defined Pianpian boy moved slightly, and slowly opened his pair of sparse starry eyes, Zhao Zhengli suddenly glanced and saw the crying and laughing expressions of the two beauties beside him with red and swollen eyes, pear blossoms and rain, and asked in a weak tone: "Why are you two crying?" Who bullied you? ”
These words deeply pierced the hearts of the two sisters, and he only stepped back from the Hades Palace half a foot and began to worry about the two sisters, and the two of them may not be able to find a second one in this world. The tears that didn't dry and the uproar flowed uncontrollably, and what was different from the past was that he was extremely happy at the moment, throwing himself into the arms of the bad road chief and crying.
Zhao Daochang's face was red and red at a loss, he was so big and so close to a woman for the first time, and he didn't know that the woman's body bones were so soft, and there was a faint fragrance, which made the Taoist who had never been in the world panicked, looked left and right, and found that he was in a dirt pit, lying just right with a height of more than eight feet, and then moved his eyes up, and found that Yu Xiaowei, Li Zhanyi and Zhang Ziya were looking down at himself in the pit, he seemed to understand something: "Hey, you have no conscience, you actually want to bury me alive!" In vain, this way desperately protected you last night! ”
“……”
The three people on the pit were speechless, this misunderstanding seemed to only be explained by the Bi family sisters, and the three of them were more puzzled by his resurrection? Although it is not as obvious as the Bi family sisters, their eyes also reveal joy.
Yu Xiaowei, who was a little happy just now, looked at the three people hugging in the dirt pit, the corners of her mouth pursed, and she silently twisted her head to the side.
The lady-like Li Zhanyi glanced at Zhang Ziya, who looked envious on the side, and he quickly moved his eyes away vigilantly.
Zhao Zhengli didn't feel that he had died once, he only knew that he was very tired from being invaded by Gu poison last night, and then he couldn't hold his eyelids and fell asleep, and when he woke up, he saw the Bi family sisters crying and crying with him in the dirt pit.
This night, Zhao Daochang slept extremely sweetly and felt refreshed, while the other five people looked tired and looked like they hadn't closed their eyes for several nights.
He himself was thinking hard, how did the Gu poison in his body disappear overnight? The True Qi seemed to spread all over the body, blending with flesh and blood.
He was puzzled.
Several people got on the road and walked towards Qipanguan on foot.
Li Zhanyi, who has been walking the rivers and lakes for several years, suddenly said: "Can the Taoist know the people of Longhu Mountain? ”
Zhao Zhengli shook his head: "It's only been more than two months since I came out of the mountain, and I've been hanging around in Shudi; Where did you know the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain? ”
Li Zhanyi frowned: "That's weird, there are countless miracle medicines in the world, although there is a fairy herb elixir that brings the dead back to life on the coast of the East China Sea, but after all, it is a legend, the unique Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Pill that can be compared with the elixir in the whole world, even the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Pill does not have the magic effect of resurrecting the dead." Besides, it is still resurrected from the body of Gu poison, and the "Heavenly Silkworm Gong", which cultivates the art of nirvana rebirth, cannot achieve the effect of overnight resurrection. ”
Zhang Ziya accosted: "Maybe the Dao Chang's bones are surprised, and it is not necessary to adapt to the Gu poison of the body!" ”
The Bi family sisters also said: "It's really possible, the Dao Master has been soaking tea oil sulfur water to refine Gu poison for several months, maybe he has quietly improved his physique." ”
Several people nodded suspiciously, but Li Zhanyi felt that the credibility was still not great, could it be that he was really the reincarnation of a celestial?
The noble lady looked at the handsome Taoist priest's face and became more curious, and those eyes were eager to see him thoroughly.
Zhao Daochang said unnaturally: "I know that I am handsome, and Senior Sister Emei should not patronize it, it is good to send two autumn waves to show this Dao, but I don't want to have a love triangle between you and Ziya, so Senior Sister Don't bother to work hard." ”
“……”
Senior Sister Feng was speechless, Zhang Ziya blushed, but the Bi family sisters laughed, but Yu Xiaowei hurried away expressionlessly.
There are not many horses in Qipanguan Station, and only three horses can be provided, which means that two people ride one horse......
Zhao Daochang made a difficulty, did he ride a horse with the Bi family sisters at will? Or choose one between Yu Xiaowei and Li Zhan?
He was entangled and there were already two horses galloping past, leaving only him and Zhang Ziya at the door of the post station, the guy who was half a head shorter than the Taoist was smiling at him obscenely, he was also a man, he naturally knew what the bad Taoist was just imagining, of course he also had, but it was not as obvious as Zhao Daochang, out of respect for strength, Zhang Ziya politely surrendered his hand: "Dao Chief, I can only wronged you to ride a horse with me, is Dao Chang sitting in the front, or sitting in the back?" ”
The Taoist chief glared at him very disappointedly: "What is the front and back, filthy words, this way is on horseback!" ”
“……”
In the end, the bad road chief put Zhang Ziya on horseback and carried him on the road like a prisoner, Zhang Ziya protested vigorously: "Ah! … Dao Chief... I can't stand it! ”
"Dao Chief! … Yes! … Slow down! ”
"Shut up, and shake your bile out again!"
“……”
I don't know if Zhao Daochang's horse control technique has progressed, or the two horses in front of him deliberately waited, and caught up with the four of them in less than a moment, when they saw Zhang Ziya's way of riding, they were particularly surprised, and they didn't have to think about it to understand that it was a masterpiece of the bad Dao Chang, and they were sad for him last night.
After walking for more than 30 miles, Zhang Ziya felt dizzy, turned over the river and poured his stomach, and the overnight meal reached his throat, he regretted one thing at the moment, that is, he should have dug a pit on the spot in the morning and buried the damn bad road chief, so that he would not suffer this crime.
Maybe the bad road chief is not bad, seeing that Zhang Ziya is really not good, let him straddle the front and ride a horse together, and Zhang Ziya is like being released.
This road is not dangerous, the three horses gallop for more than seventy or eighty miles, and take three breaks from Qipanguan to Xingyuan Mansion, which takes about an hour.
The mountains and rivers are lonely and the clouds are flying, and the market is bustling and pushing cups.
Xingyuan Mansion is like Shu land in the general fertile field for thousands of miles, prosperous and prosperous, the environment by the mountains and rivers is very livable, this place leads from south to north, and it is a natural granary again, so that the heads of the heroes of the past dynasties break the blood flow, there are four plank roads that cross the Qinling Mountains of 800 miles alone, for Chen Cang, wrapping obliquely, Fu Luo, Meridian, up to the ancient Shang pre-Qin; Down to the troubled times of modern times, all of them have left ancient and modern battles here, and it can be said that every plank road is paved with blood and white bones.
The six people did not come to Xingyuan Mansion to experience the humanities and history, but corrected their identities in the government, found the five-flowered horse sedan chair that the Yu family had been waiting for a few days, and then asked for a Xingyuan Mansion armor heavy horse escort.
After the lesson of last night's blood, everyone agreed that 'borrowing' is very important, and it is not a nest to find which county road to escort, on the contrary, the government is very happy, after all, Zhao Zhengli belongs to the hand-picked person, and it is not easy to explain what happened in the place, not to mention that there is also the baby daughter of the military department, and it is best to throw out this hot potato early.
On the twenty-fifth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, several people officially went north to Jingzhao Mansion by Fu Luo Plank Road, escorted by fifty armored heavy horses of Xingyuan Mansion, and the killing gas exploded on the plank road, and tourists from all walks of life heard the wind and avoided it, and the incident of the night attack on Qipanshan was also spread in the rivers and lakes, "The magic sword cut off the remnants of Nanzhao, and the momentum scared away the Tubo national teacher", and "human demon" became Zhao Zhengli's new title in the rivers and lakes.
Li Zhanyi and Zhang Ziya are equally famous, but it's a pity that the light covered by the ruthless role of 'human demons' is scary enough for these three grandmasters alone, and now they have added fifty armor and heavy horses, and they don't dare to come forward to say hello without the strength of the great grandmaster.
It is rumored that Zhao Zhengli was seriously injured in the first battle of Qipanling, so he dispatched fifty armored heavy cavalry escorts in Xingyuan Mansion.
Whether it is true or not, no one stepped forward to test it, because there are still two grandmasters and fifty heavy armor, and many people in the rivers and lakes are expected to watch the excitement on the Fu Luo plank road, asking, assassination, etc.
Xingyuan Mansion Fifty Heavy Cavalry took a day to escort to Fengzhou to hand over to the Tongyuan Army, and there was no edict between the county roads to cross the line, which was the iron law of Qingguo.
Entering Fengzhou is to enter Qinfeng County Road, Qinfeng County Road has a total of 12 states, 38 counties, divided into three route armies, for Wude, Zhenrong, Tongyuan.
Zhao Zhengli and others were led by a detachment of the southernmost Tongyuan Army, with more than 70 people, wearing iron armor and a three-meter spear standing in the saddle; Coupled with a strong shield, the war horses and iron horses were uniform, and the marching momentum was far better than the previous fifty heavy horses, and Zhang Ziya's blood was boiling when he saw it, and the fifty heavy horses earlier did not make him so excited.
The reason for this is that the Xingyuan Mansion is heavily cavalry under the government establishment, and geographically it is not like Qinfeng County close to the border of the Three Kingdoms, the upper is the Western Xia and the Khitan, and the left is Tubo, although the war has gradually decreased in the past two years, the border defense will inevitably drop the grinding of guns, and there will be one or two waves of small wars in a few months.
And this group of iron horsemen is the warriors who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, and the morale of the soldiers is naturally obvious, if 700 or 7,000 people march; That morale exploded in the heavens, and I am afraid that ordinary people are not very good at seeing their legs and feet.
The seventy ironclad soldiers did not say anything, except for the nine rank officers who led the team; Wu Lei accompanied Captain Rong and communicated with a few people on urgent issues, while the remaining dozens of people were like machines, eating and talking, sleeping and not removing their armor, so they traveled on the Fu Luo Plank Road for two days.
On the afternoon of the 28th day of the lunar calendar, under the escort of Captain Wu Lei, he entered Yongxing County Road, and his eyes were full of vast loess bordering heaven and earth, and the wind and sand were dusty.
Zhang Ziya looked at the vast landscape and sighed: "It's really like the old saying, go north to see the vast murderous atmosphere, and go south to see scholars gathered." ”
Wu Leihao patted his leg and said quickly: "This is very reasonable, there are literati in the south, many reckless men in the north, Wenzhi country, Wuding Xinjiang, although no one in the north and south looks down on anyone, but they can't do without anyone, but unfortunately, now the court seems to be more fond of literati, and I am waiting for these martial artists." ”
Wu Lei said that he was obviously depressed and regretful, shook his head and put aside this topic, and said with great pride: "This is not vast, more than a hundred miles north, in the endless desert outside the Sai; Only the blue sky and yellow sand can be seen there, and the real vastness and murderous aura can be felt there. ”
Zhao Zhengli glanced at Zhang Ziya, who looked obsessed: "Aren't you going north to recover the land of Yanyun, how about joining the army with Captain Rong?" ”
Before Zhang Ziya could say, Wu Lei, the captain of the school, took the lead and seriously probed Zhang Ziya: "Ziya's open-mindedness is admired by the captain of this school, if the rivers and lakes in the world have this mind, why worry about the smoke and clouds and not returning, I am afraid that the Khitan and Tubo will all have to return to my Daqing territory." However, it is condescending to come to our team with the Dao of Ziya Grandmaster, if you really have a heart; The young general can recommend you to go to the General Mansion of the Tongyuan Army, and you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in the north and make the Khitan cowardly! ”
Zhang Ziya peeked at Li Zhanyi who was in a sedan chair with a five-flowered horse, and said euphemistically: "Thank you for your appreciation, there are not many border wars now, Ziya still wants to travel first, and Ziya will definitely not hesitate to wait for the front line to be tight in the future." ”
Wu Lei didn't understand his deep meaning at all, he was iron-clad, and said with arrogance and seriousness: "Ziya is modest, with your grandmaster Dao Xing in the army, it is naturally not like a soldier to charge, and you can preach a qualified soldier, and you will be a martial arts and other important positions......"
Zhao Zhengli saw that Zhang Ziya was chatting about the same topic in his heart, and it was very awkward, so he changed the topic: "I heard that the captain can use seventy iron horses to block the charge of nearly a thousand Khitan soldiers, Poor Dao is very curious, what is special about this seven-star array?" ”
mentioned Wu Lei's area of expertise, he proudly raised his chest and talked about Kaikai; The six people were handed over to the Jingzhao Mansion soldiers who took them, and when they left, they didn't forget to remind Zhang Ziya to wait for the words at any time.
There are 12 prefectures on Yongxing County Road, with two prefectures, one is Hezhong Mansion, which is mainly guarding the northern Khitan, and the other is Jingzhao Mansion, which is mainly transportation, training and other logistics.
It is only more than 100 miles from here to the capital, and you can choose two ways: water and land.
Now that the end of August is approaching the rising season of the Yellow River, the river is turbulent, few shipbuilders sail, and official ships only depart at a certain time.
There are several bandits rampant on land, and there is only one official road that goes directly to the capital, which is only for the emergency use of the imperial court.
At that time; Zhao Daochang tasted the benefits of the family of the dispatching officer, and naturally knew how to pull the tiger skin to pull the banner, and on the grounds of lack of time, he asked the Jingzhao Mansion Yate to open this road to borrow the road, and told how hard he worked for the imperial court in Shudi, how much he sacrificed, and how difficult it was to enter Beijing this way, and sold it miserably.
In fact, he didn't need to pour bitter water, Jingzhaofu Prefecture Mu Li Zhan, Assassin Shi Tian Zhicheng, Zhijun Xin and others had already found out clearly, and they knew that there were forces in the capital that did not want him to enter Beijing, and spent a lot of money to buy other people's heads on the black market.
Although Jingzhao Mansion is a treasure land, it is not favored by the emperor now, at most it is the second treasure land, and the first treasure land is naturally the contemporary capital; Bianjing, how dare the bureaucrats of their second treasure land offend the first treasure land? And this Taoist priest from Shu was blocked from entering Beijing, and it was obvious that some people in the imperial court did not welcome this 'outsider'.
They can't afford to offend several forces, it is definitely not possible to leave him here, and letting him go smoothly will indirectly offend the temple people, the only thing to do is to control the time well, and you can't see the difficulty, and you can't see the help.
With a few people's many years of climate experience, the last day or two is scheduled to have autumn rain coming, and then find an official road collapse congestion as an excuse to refuse, it is not offended, of course, the premise needs to be warm hospitality for a few people, to dispel a few people's concerns.
So several scarlet-robed bureaucrats in Jingzhao Mansion warmly entertained these six guests from afar with the specifications of Qincha, and took a few people to visit the old Tang Dynasty Shengdu, feel the prosperity of this thousand-year-old imperial capital, and taste various special foods.
The prosperity of this place is staggering to the six people, and it is the most magnificent giant city seen so far, even Yu Xiaowei, the daughter of Shangshu who has seen all the prosperity, can't help but sigh at the magnificent royal spirit of the imperial capital of all dynasties, even more magnificent than the capital.
Zhao Zhengli was in the prosperous Jingzhao Mansion, but his heart stopped at the eight hundred miles of Qinling not far from the Jingzhao Mansion, because there were five blessings and seventy-two valleys, as well as the old Tang Sun Simiao, Li Chunfeng and other dojos, he wanted to visit them one by one, but unfortunately this trip was a hurried passer after all.
After the warm reception of several scarlet-robed bureaucrats, it was almost dark, and seeing that tomorrow was the twenty-ninth lunar calendar, Zhao Zhengli was really a little panicked, and said secretly; I knew that the road was difficult, and I was able to set off after receiving the holy decree, and I would not live up to the beautiful scenery and ancient temples along the way, and it was ironclad to temporarily live in Jingzhao Mansion tonight.
Several bureaucrats were very enthusiastic and sent people to prepare the yard.
Night; The day did not fulfill people's wishes, the heavy rain poured all night, and there was still autumn rain in the morning, and the six of them planned to leave earlier, but they couldn't stand the hospitality, and the few people who pushed the cup and changed the lamp ate the highest breakfast ever.
It was nearly noon to set off again, and it was definitely too late to take the boat, so I had to rush through the plank road, and the military officer hurriedly said that the heavy rain and landslide blocked the plank road last night, and the soldiers were urgently dredging it, so that a few people could wait for some more time.
The six people naturally can't afford to wait, tomorrow is the thirtieth lunar calendar, if there is a mistake in the holy decree, they have no choice but to take the countryside road for dozens of kilometers, escorted out of the county by the cavalry of Jingzhao Mansion.
All the way to the autumn rain, muddy and tortuous, first to Tongguan, and then along the river embankment to the east.
The rolling Yellow River flows eastward, the continuous yellow bandits are rampant, and the remaining dozens of miles are rampant, although the road is not high, but the little ghost is difficult, all the way back and forth, it is annoying, so that the guards of Jingzhao Mansion can not parry it at all, and Zhang Ziya was forced to raise a gun to open the road.
It was already dark, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the rush arrived at the North Jingxi Road, where the guards of Jingzhao Mansion stopped, and if they got closer, they would be charged with plotting against the palace.
The six of them traveled alone for the remaining dozens of miles, the road at the foot of the capital was peaceful, the only road was muddy and slippery, and the loess was sticky to the axle, but it was bitter for Zhang Ziya to scrape the mud to open the road.
It was the middle of the night when I arrived in the capital, and Yu Shangshu's five-flowered horse sedan chair became a real "flower horse", but it was made of mud.
