Because he hasn't gone down the mountain for a long time, Zuo Ci needs to meet some old friends this time, and this stay will pass in a few days.

Jiang Qi, who has no one to care about these times, is like a wild horse that has escaped from the reins, jumping up and down with the two sisters of the Qiao family who have just recovered from a serious illness all day long, playing pranks everywhere, either putting something in when those maids are taking a bath, or adding some materials to the rouge gouache.

Qiao Qian, who has always been eccentric, has become Jiang Qi's best assistant in these days, so that the feelings of the children who have just met have grown by leaps and bounds, and even the girl who has just been brought back by Jiang Qi is happier than before, and there is a smile on her face.

As the owner Qiao Xuan, looking at his daughter who was still sick two days ago, she has been playing with Jiang Qi everywhere these days, especially the piano skills that have not improved before, and she is very happy that she can play the music intermittently after Jiang Qi teaches for two days, and as for those irrelevant little farces, they all laugh it off.

On the day, the naughty Qiao Qian was standing in the gazebo next to the rockery and shouting: "Okay, Brother Four-Eyed is really amazing."

In the distance where Qiao Qian shouted, Jiang Qizheng pulled out a flying knife inserted in the green bamboo, shook his head and sighed, and sighed while walking back to the pavilion: "It's still much worse than I imagined." ”

Seeing Jiang Qi return to the pavilion, Qiao Ying hurriedly took a wet towel to wipe Jiang Qi's sweaty forehead, and said with concern: "Brother Yuyang, rest, you have been practicing for two hours."

"Thank you, sister Ying'er," Jiang Qi replied, inserting the delicate flying knife back into the special knife bag. The knife bag is made according to the width of the belt, one on the left and one on the left and right waists, and five throwing knives are placed on each side. The finger-long blade and the two-finger gripping handle are just right in the knife bag, and if you don't look closely, you may not know that Jiang Qi has a hidden weapon on his waist.

These flying knives are a total of thirty specially customized by Jiang Qi two days ago, and the flying knives were sent by the blacksmith shop this morning, and Jiang Qi happily delivered the balance after checking them one by one to meet his requirements, as for the money, of course, it was all from his old master.

After getting the flying knife, Jiang Qi excitedly started the trial, but he used to play with flying stones and daggers, and he was still a little uncomfortable for a while. It's been two hours since I practiced this before I could hit a wrist-sized bamboo body in fifty steps, and my technique was far worse than before.

Of course, Jiang Qi also knew that he wanted to play with this flying knife, which was only about two taels, to the same power as the dagger of about one pound before, not overnight, and it was no longer serious.

Jiang Qi, who had finished wiping his sweat in the pavilion, took the warm water handed over by the girl and drank it dry in one go, exhaled a lot of turbidity and said, "With a few of you girls here, you can't concentrate on martial arts." Fortunately, the master is not there, otherwise he would have been beaten again. ”

Just as Jiang Qi was talking, Qiao Qian looked at the empty cup that Jiang Qi put down, staggered and flattered Jiang Qi with water, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Brother Four-eyed, you are so powerful, when will you teach Qian'er."

However, although it was to please her, she was not strong enough when she was young, so she poured water on the ground at once, causing several people to laugh.

"You, wait until you can hold the kettle!" Jiang Qi smiled and took the kettle in Qiao Qian's hand and said.

"That four-eyed brother, accompany Qian'er to ride a big horse, Qian'er didn't ride yesterday." Qiao Qian pouted and thought about the villain who had been bullying herself yesterday, riding the white horse with her sister, just don't ride it herself, she cried for a long time because of this matter.

Several people looked at the little girl who was still sullen about yesterday's events, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, okay, wait a minute, wait for Chasing Cloud to come back!" Jiang Qi smiled and pinched Qiao Qian's little nose and said.

"Okay, Brother Four-Eyed is the best、、、、"

After laughing, the girl who had not spoken dared to ask, "Engong, did you hear that you are leaving tomorrow?" ”

"Well, the master said that everything is almost done, and we will get up and go on the road tomorrow morning." Jiang Qi nodded and said.

As soon as she heard Jiang Qi's affirmative answer, several little girls were reluctant to have a complex, and Qiao Qian, who was still thinking about riding a horse just now, immediately took Jiang Qi's hand and said reluctantly: "Brother Four-eyed, can you not go, Qian'er is reluctant to you, it's a big deal that Qian'er will call you Brother Yuyang like her sister in the future."

Seeing Qiao Qian's tears in her eyes, Jiang Qi hurriedly leaned down and picked up this little girl who was not yet high in his crotch and said comfortingly: "Hehe, Qian'er don't want to be like this, okay?" My brother will come back in the future, and then my brother will bring Sister Li'er with you to play together, okay? ”

"How long is Brother Yuyang going?" Qiao Ying, who was infected by the atmosphere and moistened her eyes next to her, asked.

"I don't know, but I promise I'll be back, okay?" Although everyone hasn't been together for too long, the relationship established can't be eliminated, looking at the little friends who have been playing together for the past few days, Jiang Qi has the sadness of parting for the first time.

That day, afternoon, breeze, gazebo, goodbye、、、、、、、

The next day, when the little sister of the Qiao family in a new dress took Qiao'er and the girl, and jumped up and down to find Jiang Qi's apprentice with two food boxes, there was no other figure except for the neat room.

On the official road a few miles away from the bridge pile, Zuo Ci, who was driving a carriage, looked at Jiang Qi, an apprentice who was sullen on a horse next to him, and said, "Yu Yang, the master divined it for you in the morning, do you want to know?" ”

"Forget it, it's not good for you to do divination in general." Jiang Qi replied boringly.

"Haha, this time is definitely a good thing, this morning the hexagram said that your kid is destined to commit peach blossoms, haha" Zuo Ci said informally.

"Haha, huh? I also got up in the morning, and hung up and said that the master should find me a teacher", without waiting for the master to get angry, Jiang Qi quickly knocked the horse's belly and chased the clouds and shot out like an arrow.

Looking at Jiang Qi who fled away, only the master Zuo Ci who chattered endlessly and didn't know what to say was left on the official road, but Jiang Qi still heard one of the words in the master's mouth during the run, which seemed to be: "Boy, you and Erqiao will continue the front edge."

Hearing that the dream in the depths of Jiang Qi's mind was touched again, something inexplicable immediately appeared in his memory, and the clearest thing was the two verses.

As the text became clear, Jiang Qi was startled and turned his horse's head and rushed up a gentle slope beside the official road, his eyes looked in the direction of Qiaozhuang, and he muttered half-loudly: "Dongfeng is not with Zhou Lang, Tongque Chun is deeply locked in the second bridge, is Qiao Ying and Qiao Qian your future fate、、、、、、"

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

In March 178 AD, Liu Hong, who had been in office for ten years, changed the yuan again, this time changing the name of the first year to "Guanghe". The reason for the change of the yuan is because in February of this year, there was a relatively large solar eclipse and earthquake, and Liu Hong hoped to obey the will of heaven by changing the yuan.

However, God did not understand Liu Hong's 'hard work', even if the yuan was changed, the world was still unstable. Several solar eclipses and earthquakes followed.

And the catastrophe that made Liu Hong even more panicked had just happened. In April, a hen that lays eggs in the temple suddenly crows and becomes a rooster. All of this seems to indicate that the world is about to change.

In the face of so many strange events, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty still went his own way in addition to changing the yuan to pray for peace in panic. Even at the same time as this change, there was a shocking thing in the DPRK.

At the instigation of Cao Jie and Wang Fu, the Son of Heaven actually openly sold his official title in the name of the empire in the West Mansion. And each official position has a preliminary price: 4 million yuan for an official position with a rank of 400 stones, 20 million yuan for 2,000 stones, and so on, 10,000 yuan and a stone official rank.

If you want to ascend to the position of the three princes, add 10 million; ascend to the throne, plus five million. If it is an official who is requisitioned by the imperial court or is proclaimed by the local government, he also has to pay half or one-third of the fee. Of course, the price will fluctuate depending on the economic level of the place of employment.

In this way, the Son of Heaven took buying officials as an investment, and the Son of Heaven even knew that after these guys got official positions, they would immediately go crazy in office. But as the emperor, Liu Hong couldn't control so much, he discussed with the officials, and set up a secret vault in the West Garden to store the money from the officials.

The rich Son of Heaven is so fond of accumulating wealth, and naturally there is a reason. The Son of Heaven was born in a small pavilion and did not have a good life, so the Son of Heaven often regretted that his uncle Emperor Xiaohuan did not know how to accumulate private money.

Of course, there is also his mother, the Empress Dowager Dong, and the concubine of this prince has the same hobbies as folk women, always encouraging his son to accumulate some money in case of a big disaster. However, she didn't expect that the official position of the cornerstone of the country could be bought and sold at will, which was tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall.

In the early morning, with the high crowing of the rooster, the originally quiet street began to have the sound 、、、、of people and dogs.

The freshness of the spring air with a slight earthiness diffuses in all directions, and soon when the sky turns white, the shops that were originally closed open their doors, ready for the day's business.

Handan City. Outside the south gate, a liquor shop with a big wine flag is also opened at this moment, different from other shops, the moment the shop opens, the place where the wine is sold is actually filled with a tempting aroma of porridge, with this fragrance overflowing, refugees and beggars who are swept in every corner outside the city gate flock to it.

Gathering and drinking room. The poorly dressed refugees and beggars did not make any disturbances because of the tempting scent, but lined up outside the store in an orderly manner, with the old and the young in front of the young and the strong, and although the line was very long, none of them appeared to cut in line, as if they were all trained teams.

Soon, as the store opened, a few men with hot gruel appeared in the backyard door of the liquor store, and the leader of the men was eight feet tall, with a strong body and a neatly trimmed beard.

However, his face baptized by the years and the corners of his mouth with a smile show that he has long been wiped clean by the world.

Seeing the pots of white porridge that were white and lovely, exuding steaming steam, neatly arranged and on the food table outside the store, there was a brief commotion in the originally neat line, but it was quickly quelled.

The first half-hundred-year-old man in the team looked at the rice porridge excitedly and said: "Shopkeeper Jiang, this government has not opened a warehouse for disaster relief in the face of natural disasters, and your family still boils such sticky rice porridge every day to relieve refugees such as me, how can you bear it in the long run!" ”

"Yes, yes, shopkeeper Jiang, it's better to boil it lighter in the future, I'll go out and find some wild vegetables to live!" A woman behind the old man also echoed and said.

"Old man, don't say that, my wife said, who is not in trouble, everyone is a villager, how can you help more foils, although the store can't provide everyone with two meals a day, but this white porridge a day can still bear, as for what you said just now, don't say it again in the future, otherwise let Mrs. know that she will be scolded."

"Okay, let's start to eat、、、、 don't panic, let's provide the elderly and children first, it's not enough to stay up in the kitchen."

Seeing this, the old man couldn't help but pull his young grandson and pointed to the busy work in the store and said: "What a good person, the child must remember clearly that he has the grace of life for us、、、
