Half a year later, Jiankang Imperial City.

Above the court, a group of courtiers are still arguing about whether to move south, although in the past six months, the southbound grassland people do not seem to continue to attack, but no one dares to put the safety of the country in danger, betting on whether the grassland people are merciful.

Of course, more importantly, once the court decides to move south, it means a new round of power reshuffle, and some of the wealthy families who are already in the south will be like fish in water, and those who are in the north will not have such a good time - but in general, the courtiers who support the southward move are still in the majority, in their words, this is called regrouping, waiting for the time to come.

However, in the eyes of the young Tao Wuliu, this is just a pretext, to put it bluntly, I don't want to fight, no one wants to fight, obviously the grassland people haven't continued to advance for half a year, I'm afraid there is a terrible change inside, at this time, I'm afraid it's not the best time to go north to recover the lost territory, but this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, no one wants to fight.

So the angry Tao Wuliu wrote a note and handed it over, hoping that the young Emperor's Majesty, or any minister, would realize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Then he waited for a piece of paperwork.

"This is going to send me to Longzhou?"

Looking at the contents of the paperwork, Tao Wuliu was dumbfounded.

Of course, nominally speaking, this is an order, and it is for him to make up for the lack of Longzhou, but anyone with a little common sense can see that this is someone who is bored with him and asks him to hurry to the northwest to drink the wind - from Jiankang to the northwest, not to mention thousands of miles away, he is afraid that it is impossible for him to come back in this life.

"I ...... Okay. ”

Putting away the order, Tao Wuliu took the old servant to pack his luggage and set up the car, after all, in order to let him get out quickly, the above was still an urgent order, and he could not delay for half a moment.

When he went out, Tao Wuliu arched his hand for the last time in the direction of the imperial city, which was regarded as a thank you for this grace.

If a man doesn't want to listen to him, what can he do?

"Let's go."

Beckoning the old servant to drive the car, Tao Wuliu went all the way west.

In the first half a month, Tao Wuliu was mainly scolding the street, after all, he grew up in Jiankang since he was a child, and now a paper document actually made him leave his hometown, such a fierce suppression, anyone who has been subjected to it will probably be furious - but after scolding for half a month, Tao Wuliu is also numb, in the end, no matter how much he scolds, he can't change any established facts.

So on the next trip, Tao Wuliu tried to stop thinking about these things, but focused on studying the scenery along the way.

"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan."

On the way, seeing those magnificent mountains and rivers, Tao Wuliu will occasionally be poetic and come to a few words.

Then he saw that on the southern mountain that he had sang, dozens of bandits with swords rushed towards him all the way.

Facing the bandits with a full face of anger, Tao Wuliu finally paid the money to buy the road, although he also wanted to try to defend a few words, but just looking at the fierce appearance on the other party's face, it was obvious that the evil anger was almost uncontrollable - so in order to avoid being cut off by the madman, he finally chose to cut off his wallet.

And after running out of money, the journey doesn't seem to be much fun. Although those bandits also left a few days of food for Tao Wuliu and the old servant, this little thing still couldn't last a few days after all.

"As long as I can survive these few days."

Three days later, Tao Wuliu encouraged his old servant.

"As long as we can survive these few days, we can rush to the nearest state city, and when the time comes, whether it is selling some words or writing some poems for others, we will always have something to eat."

Saying this, Tao Wuliu once again looked at the mountain in the distance.

"The mountain weather is good, and the birds are still ...... What do you think of this? Will anyone be willing to pay for it? ”

"Leave the poems alone! Run, sir! ”

The panicked old servant flew up and kicked Tao Wuliu to the side of the road.

Immediately afterwards, the old servant himself was bitten by the big human-faced bird that was more than three feet long, leaving only half of his body to fall from the sky and smash in front of Tao Wuliu.

The old servant who had been serving for many years was actually killed by a monster, which made Tao Wuliu grief-stricken.

hastily buried the old servant, and Tao Wuliu was the only one left on the journey this time, and it was at this time that he realized that the journey of a thousand miles was so far away.

"Otherwise, this official, let's not do it."

Frustrated, Tao Wuliu once again took out the paperwork.

Originally, Tao Wuliu was still laughing at those robbers, but he didn't snatch the document and the official certificate, but now he knows that those robbers may be right, and now in this hellish world, the official document is probably the most useless thing, indeed, with this paper document, he can go to Longzhou as a county magistrate, but the question is, can he really go to Longzhou alive?

"The way of the world...... Ay! ”

With a long sigh, Tao Wuliu finally failed to burn the paperwork ruthlessly.

With this official certificate, then he will at least have an identity, as he said, after going to the state capital, everything will be fine.

Everything will be fine, it will be fine.

"So you're done?"

Facing the soldiers guarding the city at the gate, Tao Wuliu's brows gradually wrinkled.

"I said it all, I'm going to Longzhou to take office...... What's going on here in Dengzhou, is it so inefficient to open a customs clearance paperwork? ”

"Oh? Another official of the imperial court? ”

Several soldiers glanced at each other, and they were happy on the spot.

"It's the one who caught you!"

The heavy spear smashed on his head, and Tao Wuliu was beaten unconscious.

When he regained consciousness, the person had already been imprisoned, and after listening to the conversations of the prisoners around him, he knew that this Dengzhou had already pulled up the anti-flag under the tandem of the Yu people--he, the official of the imperial court, took the initiative to send himself to the enemy-occupied area and plunged into the anti-thief den.

But fortunately, his luck this time was not bad.

It's just because the prisoners in the prison were ready to escape tonight.

So when the prisoners were in turmoil, Tao Wuliu also ran out, but this person was unfamiliar with the place, but he didn't know where he should go - it was at this time that the pursuers of Dengzhou City came over, and in the face of the bright guns and spears, he could only follow the prisoners to seize the road and run wildly.

However, the Dengzhou defenders obviously did not let them go, even if the prisoners had escaped from the city, they still pursued them all the way non-stop, more and more prisoners were stabbed to death by the cavalry wielding halberds, and Tao Wuliu's physical strength was also getting less and less under this wild run.

At the end of the day, it's a dead end, and how can two legs outrun four legs?

"You can run away!"

Seeing that the cavalry was getting closer and closer, some prisoners hurriedly shouted.

"Take the waterway! We can live! ”

Facing the approaching pursuers, Tao Wuliu could only pinch his nose and jump into the water with the prisoners.

Under the washing of the water, Tao Wuliu closed his eyes tightly, he didn't know where he would be taken, and he didn't know if he could survive, he could only feel the water around him in a panic, praying that this nightmare would pass as soon as possible.

But immediately, Tao Wuliu suddenly felt that something was not right.

It's just that the surrounding river doesn't flow eastward.

Instead, it goes in the opposite direction, all the way to the west.

"Get up, it's here."

Just when Tao Wuliu thought that he had drifted to the underworld, the prisoner who shouted before spoke again.

And Tao Wuliu also stood up.

What appeared in front of him was an extremely narrow corridor, which could only accommodate one person to get through, but on the opposite side of the corridor, there was obviously a slight light.

"This ......"

Tao Wuliu, who was a little puzzled, followed the prisoner and went in with the current.

And after a distance of more than a dozen steps, Tao Wuliu's eyes suddenly opened up.

The second shift was delivered, and everyone rested early.

Also: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly passes, and thank you for your encouragement and support.

I've also rested early, good night everyone.
