Although there were changes in the Yue cavalry camp, the winter hunting trip still set off on time, and the emperor, the minister, the envoy of the subordinate country, the entourage, the guards, etc., stretched for miles just by chariots and horses.

In order to welcome the emperor of the Han Dynasty all the way, the officials in the places where they passed had already splashed the streets with clear water and paved the loess with loess, and the warm welcome of the squires from all over the country showed a peaceful atmosphere.

Only the desolate fields beside the roadbed and the dry bones in the ditches could not hide the depression of society.

With the officials and cronies who deliberately concealed it all the way, Liu Hong, who only knew pleasure, took it for granted that the world was peaceful under his governance.

It's just that he didn't know that behind the concealment, there was a disaster that swept the Han Dynasty was coming.

In the inner hall of Jiang's mansion, the gray-haired old man was listening to the reports of several housekeepers: "Except for the shops in Luoyang City, all the other surrounding shops have been closed, and the guys have also been sent back to their hometowns." In addition, according to the orders of the lord, the materials from all places except the Jiangdong region began to be transported to Luoyang, and all of them will arrive in the latest ten days. However, there are still some side shops that are reluctant to close、、、、、"

"All the fields in the clan were also sold at a low price, and this time the loss was huge, and the villain also lied that the whole clan was about to move according to the lord's instructions, which did not make outsiders suspicious." The steward in charge of the field.

"At present, 300,000 quintals of grain, 2,000 war horses, 3,000 sets of weapons and armor, and 50,000 arrows have been hoarded in the fort, and the old and young of the other clans have basically moved to the mansion in Luoyang City, and the clansmen of the rest of the states and counties have also been informed, and they can reach the big city proposed by the lord in about half a month." The butler in charge of the storage continued.

"My whole clan in Luoyang has been armed according to the orders of the lord, regardless of the master and servant, from the fifteenth to the thirty-fifth, and after selection, the infantry has increased to more than 2,000 and the cavalry to 600, and has been taken over by the young master Qi." Jiang Lidao, the commander of the escort battalion.

"The people who went to Tianshui, Henan, and Shandong all sent back the news, and they all said that they would deal with it carefully、、、、、 "The chief butler finally added.

It wasn't until the last person finished speaking that Jiang Qun, who was half-squinting as if he was in a fixed position, opened his eyes and said with an indisputable voice: "One once again persuades those who have not given up their family business, if they don't obey, let it be fate." The two will buy all the money in the clan for food, such as grain, dried meat, etc., and the three will buy swords, crossbows and bows as much as possible, and the young people, both men and women, will be armed, and these people will serve as the guards of the courtyards in Luoyang, and fourth, the transfer of the old and the young must be completed tomorrow、、、、、、、"

"No" "No" 、、、、、

After everything was taken care of, Jiang Qun got up and walked towards the backyard, and after entering the corridor, he looked at the gray sky and sighed, and his thoughts climbed into his heart again.

It was the evening three days ago, he finished his meal and returned to the study to read some books for recreation, although the affairs of the clan have been assigned to the three sons-in-law to deal with as he gets older, but there are still some things to go to in person, and the day is quite busy, only a little time after the meal can be dealt with freely, and a period of time every day, reading idle books has become his habit.

However, as soon as he took out a volume of Zuo Biography from the bookshelf that day, he heard the sound of the door: "Grandfather is here, and Sun Erqi has important matters to ask for." ”

Hearing that it was his grandson who had just returned from the barracks, Jiang Qun knew that if there was no important matter, he would not come over at this time, so he hurriedly put down the bamboo slip and said, "Qi'er came in to talk." ”

With the sound of opening the door, Jiang Qi strode in and saluted: "I hope my grandfather will forgive me for disturbing me for such a time." ”

"Get up! Qi'er must have something important to tell you when she comes, so sit down and talk、、、、"

"Thank you, grandfather." Jiang Qi was also unceremonious, kneeling directly on the cushion in front of his grandfather's bookcase, and then put a stack of papers with words written in his hand in front of the table.

"What is this?" Jiang Qun casually looked at the paper on the table, what was recorded on the paper was some data such as the number of people, grain and grass, and he asked a little puzzled in the face of confused accounts.

"May I ask if my grandfather can become a few days ago to support the Taiping Taoist disciples?"

"Yes, in the past two years, neither the grain harvest nor the shops in the clan have been very good, of course, it is not my clan, and the rest of the families are not much different, and the imperial court has too many taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and I heard from others that there are a large number of displaced people in many places. At this time, Taiping Dao found his family, hoping to donate some money and food to help the people, out of good intentions, after consultation in the clan, he would fund Taiping Dao hundreds of loads of food and big money every month, although it was not much, but it was also a heart. I heard that there are several Heavenly Masters in Taiping Dao, and there are indeed some mana in various states and counties, and there are countless living people、、、、"

"Then there is nothing else?" Jiang Qi asked again.

"A month ago, a disciple who claimed to be a great sage and good teacher came to Luoyang to find the clan, hoping that the clan would give more funding. In the past month, he has donated 10,000 quintals of food, and in order to transport the chief said that he would form an escort team, the clan sent him 100 sets of armor weapons and more than a dozen horses. ”

"What a good idea." Jiang Qi sneered and said, "Grandfather has just read a few pieces of paper given by the child, does grandfather know what these books are?" ”

"It's supposed to be a ledger for someone, right?" Jiang Qun looked at it again and said suspiciously.

"Exactly, this is a letter written by the commander of Luoyang Qu of Taiping Dao, the so-called great sage and good teacher, which mainly talks about 2 million stone grain, 5,000 sets of armor, 20,000 swords, 3,000 sets of bows and crossbows, 200,000 arrows and feathers and other items raised from various families in Luoyang."

"What does Qi'er mean、、、、" Jiang Qun was a little surprised when he heard Jiang Qi's words, the number of each writing he had just seen was not much, and he didn't expect it to add up to so much.

"My grandfather is on duty, and now that the displaced people are everywhere, the court is too lazy to take care of it, and the Taiping Dao that suddenly came out to selflessly save the people is really so kind? I don't think so! Moreover, why would a Taoist sect hoard so many materials, you must know that such materials can be enough to equip nearly 30,000 cavalry and horses, and enough for a large army for a year, and it is only Luoyang. ”

"Then Yi'er's words, isn't Taiping Dao!!" Even if Lao Er Mijian Jiang Qundang reacted, he also found the seriousness of the matter, and his eyes were surprised.

Jiang Qi nodded and continued: "It's very big at this time, and Qi doesn't dare to speculate, but it's okay if not." ”

"In Qi'er's opinion, when will this happen?" Jiang Qun, who is accustomed to strong winds and waves, thought about it for a while and said.

Qi'er felt that the imperial court had not yet noticed it, and of course it was not a person who the imperial court had no knowledge. The person sent by Gu Qi'er reported that the Taoist who came to my house that day was called Tang Zhou, who came from Guangzong, and was specially ordered to contact the Luoyang family officials. Gu reported that he was able to enter and leave the palace freely, so if he was not completely sure in a short period of time, the Taiping Sect would not have a big move, and it would not necessarily be in a year or two, but Qi'er wanted to take advantage of this matter、、、、、、" Jiang Qi said with a smile.

"It's a good opportunity, maybe it's an opportunity in my clan, don't worry, how much time can you leave for your grandfather." Jiang Qi's little mind can deceive Jiang Qun, as the head of the clan, Jiang Qun naturally has his wisdom, and even if he understands it.

"At the beginning of the year, His Majesty should be back、、、、、"

"There's enough time, haha、、、、、"

An old man and a young man in the room ended the conversation with unbridled laughter.

、、、、、、、、、、、、

、、、、、、

On the gatehouse of Wubao, Jiang Qi took the warm water handed over by Li Li'er and drank it all in one gulp and said, "How are the things packed?" ”

"It's pretty much the same, but Liel wants to stay with her brother." Li Lier put down the kettle and said.

"Yide! Let them build your arrows half a foot high, you have the weakest point, and get some boulders under the city, which is too open. Jiang Qi said to Zhang Fei, who was adjusting the bed crossbow, and then turned around and handed the cup to Li Li'er before saying, "No, it's too dangerous here, if there aren't too many clansmen, Qi won't stay here, you have to go into the city with your mother and sister." ”

"Although Li'er is useless, she can serve her brother、、、" Accompanying Jiang Qi day and night for a few days, Li Lier obviously no longer spoke as carefully as before.

"Don't make a temperament, in case of a fight, Qi doesn't want to be distracted, and Qi is not by his mother's side, and you want to do your filial piety for Qi." After Jiang Qi finished speaking, he hugged Li Li'er and said easily: "Don't worry, Qi will definitely return to Luoyang in its entirety, and now that the dock fort has been rebuilt, I don't dare to be presumptuous." ”

Seeing that Li Li'er was still worried, Jiang Qi whispered again: "Go home first and warm up the water, and the two of us will have a good rest tonight." After speaking, he smiled ambiguously.

Hearing Jiang Qi's words, Li Lier's face turned red to the root of her ears, broke free from Jiang Qi's embrace and hurriedly ran away, until she was about to get off the road, she looked back at Jiang Qi again, and then left shyly.

In her shy eyes, she seemed to blame her Ai Lang for talking about the two boudoirs in broad daylight, but thinking about Li Lier's heart, she was a little hot, and she had to blame Ai Lang who was still snickering. The two went to love together on the second night they came back from the barracks, and they thought it would be as painful as the first time, but they didn't want her to fall in love with the caress between them inexplicably, and they didn't remember how many times it happened that night, anyway, they were tired in the end.

Just as Li Li'er walked away shyly, a birdsong came from the sky, and after the birdsong, a fast horse ran down the galloping dock fort from the official road not far away.

Jiang Qi looked up with satisfaction at a snow-white eagle eagle hovering overhead, then put his index finger into his lips and blew three long whistles in a row.

The eagle eagle that rushed straight to the ground leaned down like a sharp arrow, and the distance of a thousand zhang was in the blink of an eye, until it was about two feet away from the city tower, stretched out its claws, flapped its wings twice and began to slow down, and finally stopped steadily on a T-shaped wooden stake five feet high.

This rare white eagle is the one that Jiang Qi left a life to adopt, and now this eagle has grown to more than 30 pounds, and its wings can be spread up to two zhang, which can be described as the male master of the air.
