After saying this, Qu Lingyu no longer paid attention to the two of them, and said to Chu Qingliu: "I have said everything that should be said, senior brother, let's go." ”

Away from Su Yiyue Gongqi, Qu Lingyu said: "Senior brother, I just said that we have already met Uncle Wu, and it was Uncle Wu who asked us to come and see Yezi, saying that Uncle Wu broke us up to see someone, and this Su Yiyue was in a hurry." It can be seen that Uncle Wu has not left, and is still in this Miaoyi view. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "I can see it too." It's just that why did Granny Shi lie to her face just now? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for her to see us again later?"

Qu Lingyu said: "Tell a little lie or two, it's nothing to be embarrassed about, if you don't believe it, you will know when you see Granny Shi later." People have everything to say, and they will never be embarrassed. As for why we are lying, what's so hard to guess? People just don't want us to meet Uncle Wu. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "Senior sister, you shouldn't have made that joke just now, why did the master deliberately support us because he wanted to meet someone, didn't he deliberately provoke Miss Su?"

Qu Lingyu said: "Flirting is indeed teasing, but it is not just for jokes, but also to test Uncle Wu's whereabouts. Senior brother, this Miss Su has a lot of scheming, and she must try to make her angry and attacked, so that she will not be able to distinguish her mind to harm others. ”

"She wanted to frame Uncle Wu in the back mountain, but fortunately we met, and used poison to fight poison and use the Yinshan faction to scare her, so she blocked it for the time being. Unexpectedly, she still refused to give up, and pulled Gongqi here again, and used a beauty trick. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "You said it too ugly. ”

Qu Lingyu said: "With Uncle Wu and the two of us, we can go anywhere, and no one has to scruple." But if Qu Dingxiang, Gongren, and that Granny Shi join forces, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome, not to mention that there are three helpers, Ji Qinghan, Gongqi, and Su Yiyue? What's more, we are in the light, and they are in the dark, so do you need me to say more about the truth that dark arrows are difficult to prevent? Therefore, we have to think about the bad in everything, and use it wide and narrow, so that we will not be caught off guard when the matter comes. Chu Qingliu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Qu Lingyu said: "We must not let them form a party, the Kunlun faction, Miaoyiguan, and Yixuetang, no matter which two they are, as long as they become friends, it will be bad for us." ”

Chu Qingliu said: "That's why you want to break the marriage between Senior Brother Gong and Miss Su?"

Qu Lingyu said: "I can't be considered a break. Senior brother, if Miss Ruosu is sincere to the surname Gong, what is the use of my words? This girl is obviously desperate and confused, so she will change her face, give Gongqi a good look, and try to pull the entire Kunlun faction over. Even Su Yiyue can see that the Kunlun faction has long stopped taking the branch of your Wanghaizhuang as its own----- Senior brother, I am not provoking. ”

Chu Qingliu smiled: "I naturally know that it is not a provocation. Let's look at Haizhuang, where can we say that it is a branch of the Kunlun faction? It's just the master and me. Let's not talk about it, let's go to the Scripture Pavilion first. ”

The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is built on an independent small peak five or six miles away after the view, although the name is the pavilion, in fact it is a small building up and down four up. The doors and windows upstairs were all closed, and downstairs in the sunny leeward place, an old Taoist was basking in the sun with his eyes closed. The two of them approached and saluted, telling their intentions.

The old Taoist sat there, refusing to open his eyes, and said in a daze: "Master Wuzhuang, he moved to the front of the lecture hall to live." When asked again, he still said this, and then he simply snored loudly. Qu Lingyu smiled: "Senior brother, isn't Uncle Wu running around like this because he wants to embarrass us? Let's go to the scholastic academy to see if he can still run there." ”

Chu Qingliu smiled bitterly and said: "The lecture hall must be going, but how to go? Let's go to the door, and if the people say that they are not there, then send us away with a word? What can we do? We can't force ourselves to break through the door, right?" Qu Lingyu said: "I have a way. Chu Qingliu was in high spirits and said, "Come and listen." ”

Qu Lingyu said: "I burned their scripture pavilion with a fire, as long as Uncle Wu is still in Hengshan, I am not afraid that he will not come out. found Uncle Wu and built a new attic for them. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "This method is really good, then you go and set it on fire, I will come to see this Taoist priest." ”

Qu Lingyu said: "No, I'm timid, or you go and set fire, I'll come to see this Taoist priest." ”

Chu Qingliu said: "It's okay." After taking a few steps, he pretended to be old and said, "Senior sister, this method of setting fire is actually not very good. ”

Qu Lingyu said: "I also know that it is not very good, but I can't think of any good way anymore." If you want a better way, you have to think of it yourself as a senior brother. ”

The two have no choice but to play tricks on each other to relieve their boredom. After laughing for a while, Qu Lingyu said: "Senior brother, you brought this annoying Taoist priest to an invisible place, pointed at his acupoints, and told him not to run, move, speak, or listen. We have taken this good place for him, and I have something to say to you. ”

Chu Qingliu grabbed the Taoist upstairs and put him downstairs, the two sat opposite each other downstairs, Chu Qingliu said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, I will listen to it." Qu Lingyu said: "I'll tell you about Uncle Zhang Yuan and Uncle Zhang first. Chu Qingliu said: "Didn't you say that there are too many clues about this fact, and you won't be able to explain it clearly for a while?"

Qu Lingyu said: "I'll talk about it briefly, and when I have free days in the future, I'll talk about it in detail." Senior brother, you heard it clearly first, I and you are enemies of life and death. Chu Qingliu was puzzled: "What kind of life and death rival?" Qu Lingyu didn't answer, but just said: "You remember these four words first, and then listen to them well, and don't interject too much." ”

"Uncle Zhang Yuan is a native of Huayin County, Yongxing Junlu, Great Song Kingdom, this person has great ambitions since he was a child. Chu Qingliu said: "He has great ambitions, does he want to be the emperor?"

Qu Lingyu said, "Didn't I tell you not to interject?" Chu Qingliu said: "I have something in my heart, so I must say it." I studied with my father-in-law, and I also heard some words of great ambition, so I will tell you first. When Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, saw Qin Shi Huang on patrol, he said, 'The eldest husband should be like this', and the overlord of Chu said, 'You can replace him', these two people are not small, and they all want to be emperors. ”

"'Shi Eun should be regarded as the ruling Jinwu, and when he married his wife, he should marry Yin Lihua', this is what Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu said, it sounds like he just wants to be an official. In fact, there is a saying --- "Where there is a will, there is a way", this so-called thing, in fact, I still have to be the emperor----- I finished speaking. ”

Qu Lingyu said with a smile: "Compared with the three you said, Uncle Zhang can only be said to be Xiaozhi, he didn't dare to think about being an emperor, he just wanted to be a prime minister." However, it is not a Xiangguo like Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo, but a peaceful and good minister like Xiao He and Cao Shen. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "Dong Zhuo, let's not talk about him, Prime Minister Cao Cheng, ordinary people are really inferior to him." 'Let there be no loneliness in the world, and I don't know how many people will be called emperors and how many people will be kings', this is what he said. Prime Minister Cao Cheng has been killing people who want to be emperors all his life, and your Uncle Zhang didn't even pay attention to Prime Minister Cao, and his ambition is already not small. If you want to be an official, then go for a scientific examination. ”

Qu Lingyu feigned anger and said, "What does your stepfather do? ”

Chu Qingliu said with a smile: "My father-in-law is a landed Han Confucian, who keeps running accounts for others on the Guazhou Ferry Terminal. ”

Qu Lingyu said: "Uncle Zhang is not an arrogant person, how dare he look down on Cao Cao? He just wants to be a peaceful prime minister who helps the world." It's a pity that he went to Tokyo and took three subjects in a row, but he couldn't get in. ”

Chu Qingliu laughed. Qu Lingyu said: "What's the matter? Isn't it funny? Uncle Zhang is not without talent, every time he can pass the provincial examination, he can be admitted to the palace examination." However, after taking the temple examination three times, all of them were dethroned, and I can't tell what happened. Chu Qingliu frowned and said, "Really, how can there be such a thing?"

Qu Lingyu said: "This thing is very strange and difficult to believe, but there is such a thing. Whether it is one of the three, one of the two, or two of the three, he will never be able to pass the palace examination, he will always not be able to enter the eyes of the ministers who preside over the palace examination, and he will not be able to enter the eyes of the emperor of the Zhao family. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "Your Uncle Zhang, how does he look? Is it that he was born a little ugly and can't get into the eyes of the emperor of the Zhao family?"

Qu Lingyu sneered: "Uncle Zhang's appearance, whether he is ugly or not, you will know when you see him in the future." ”

Chu Qingliu said: "Even if you can pass the provincial examination one after another, it can be seen that all the articles on talent are good, but if you can't pass the palace test, you can't get into the jinshi, it's nothing." ”

Qu Lingyu said: "In our opinion, even if we don't go to the exam, there is nothing, but this is not the case for Uncle Zhang, he is a person who aspires to be a good minister." He doesn't have a father who sits as a big official, and if he can't be a jinshi, he can't be an official. Chu Qingliu said: "Senior sister, you also know that the most difficult thing in the world is not to kill the dragon and the tiger, but to go against the trend and force it." ”

Qu Lingyu said: "After taking these three subjects, Uncle Zhang has spent a full ten years, and he will be thirty years old. Uncle Zhang thought that he was dead, so he abandoned the poetry and scriptures and did not read, and devoted himself to studying the art of war, war strategies, and the ghost valley. In addition to studying, he wandered around, crossing the Yin Mountains in the north and going west to the desert in Tibet. In order to defend himself, he also learned a little self-defense, carried a sword on his back, and inserted an iron flute in his waist. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "It's also a member of my generation." ”

Qu Lingyu said: "I don't know if it's a person in my generation, I only know that his desire to seek officials has not diminished at all, and he has just put it aside for the time being." Uncle Zhang often said that his literary talent could only be in the second class, compared with Sima Xiangru, Yang Xiongjiangyan, Li Taibai, Wang Bo, Chen Ziang and others, it was far inferior, and he could only draft some applied edicts and write popular poems that suited the situation. If you fail the imperial examination, it is all providence. ”

Chu Qingliu shook his head and said, "I think it's all angry talk. Could it be that those Jinshi in Bianliang City are all first-class talents? They are all first-class figures such as Sima Xiangru, Jiang Yan, and Yang Xiong? I don't know about others, but I heard my father-in-law say that Chen Ziang has a poem, which is called "I don't see the ancients before, and I don't see the people who come after. Master doesn't read poetry books on weekdays, and he also says that this poem is excellent, but he has not seen any champion Jinshi write such poems. ”

Uncle Zhang said that since the road to the imperial examination is impassable, then we should abandon literature and join the army to become a soldier, and if you can't be the prime minister of the peace, then you should be a general who quells the rebellion and destroys the thieves. It was at this time that he met my Uncle Wu. ”

"This Uncle Wu's name is Wu Hao, he has only passed one subject, and he has also passed the provincial examination, but he has not passed the palace examination. ”

Chu Qingliu said with a smile: "If this kind of thing is said by someone else, I won't believe it, it's too coincidental." ”

Qu Lingyu said: "Uncle Wu Hao woke up earlier, and he stopped taking the test if he didn't pass the test. He didn't have any big ambitions, if he hadn't met Uncle Zhang, I'm afraid he would have gone into the mountains to find his way. ”

The two of them met, and under the conversation, they were very rebellious, and there was another named Yao Sizong, who was also a person who was not hit, and the three of them often wandered together. This Yao Sizong later became acquainted with the great nobleman Fan Zhongyan, who promoted him as an official of the Great Song Dynasty and knew him by many people. He has nothing to do with us, so we don't need to talk about him. ”

At this time, Uncle Zhang asked Huayin County Commander to arrest him and beat him up for no reason. Chu Qingliu said: "I originally thought that only our Yinshan faction would behave nonsense, and they should be a little bit reasonable, but it seems that it may not be." Why did that county order want to beat people for no reason? What did Mr. Zhang do that violate the law and prohibition?"

Qu Lingyu said: "Those who are officials, when have they been reasonable? Those who are reasonable, are they still officials? That county order arrested Uncle Zhang and charged him with eight words, called |" Laziness and industriousness disturb the people's hearts. Chu Qingliu said: "Disturb the hearts of the people? Could it be that your Uncle Zhang wants to pull the flag and rebel?" ”

Qu Lingyu said: "You can just listen carefully." Uncle Zhang can't wander around all day, and he has to go back to his hometown to see. When he stayed in Huayin City, he would often set up a stall to tell fortunes and earn a few pennies to spend. It is said that he is very good at taking advantage, and there are many people who spend money to ask him about things. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "It seems that he shouldn't be a prime minister or a general in his life, but he should be a person like Chen Tuan's ancestor." ”

Qu Lingyu said: "The ancestor of Chen is profound, so he doesn't need to be beaten. At that time, it was the busy season of farming, and many people left their farm work to come to Uncle Zhang to see their fate. The county magistrate found an excuse for this, saying that Uncle Zhang not only refused to work hard, but also let the people not work. If all the people in the world who should work don't work, then what will the emperor eat? What will the officials eat? What will the soldiers eat? Isn't this a great chaos in the world? Anyway, there are a lot of big words, and every sentence can crush people to death. arrested Uncle Zhang into the county government and beat him hard. Uncle Zhang was reluctant to spend money to buy the errand service, and at that time, even if he wanted to spend money, he was afraid that it would be difficult to buy the errand service. This hardship is really not light, and it really makes the skin open. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "If it were me, I would never stretch out my head to be beaten, wouldn't I run?" I ran out, looked for an opportunity, turned around and killed the dog official again." ”

Qu Lingyu said: "Although Uncle Zhang doesn't have the good skills of you, senior brother, if you really want to run, you can't run, but he just refuses to run." You'll find out if you listen to it. ”
