Chapter 3 6 3 The Legend of the Rivers and Lakes

Xiyang County, on the official road.

There weren't many pedestrians.

Xiyang County is not bad, there is no rebellion, Li Wuchang is still slowly walking with the Mangfu battalion, and the further south he goes, the warmer it becomes.

The New Year has long passed, and the road ahead is still bumpy.

A small boat full of people sailed in a big river with lightning and thunder and pouring rain, and it had taken all the strength to keep the people on board, and as for the direction, it was impossible to grasp it.

"Stunned, we have made a lot of money this time, and the brothers of the Mangfu Camp will also enjoy the blessings!" the fat bear gave a thumbs up, and his eyes lit up.

Everyone laughed, their brows showing excitement.

It took almost no effort to get hundreds of thousands of taels of property in the west of Hongnong, mostly soft and soft, and there were many weapons, which could not be equipped, so they had already found a hidden place to dig a big pit and buried it.

It can be regarded as a hard knock on the Zhang family.

"It's not bad, but the silver ticket takes up a lot of ...... Heh, haven't you noticed? Silver tickets are becoming less and less valuable now!" Li Wuchang smiled.

Wu Xun said: "This is something that can't be helped, as long as the Dayan disaster continues, the silver ticket will only become more and more worthless, after all, real money can be considered confident in your hands." ”

I don't know how much real money I have to pay to negotiate peace with the Huns, maybe I still need cattle and sheep, cloth, grain, wine, and tribute.

The Huns are not stupid, how can they stop if they don't take the opportunity to tear off a few pieces of meat from Dayan?

Now that Jingzhou is also in chaos, it would be a big deal if a Tubo person appeared in Liangzhou to make trouble.

"Alas, these days, I often think about finding out the people who were oppressed by the Zhang family and returning the money. Hey, am I a little whimsical? To be honest, it is obviously the responsibility of the imperial court, and the oppressed people in the western part of Hongnong have nothing to do with me, but I don't feel good about it at all. Li Wuchang smiled bitterly.

How could everyone not understand what Li Wuchang meant, in fact, everyone felt this way.

Zhao Xun said: "Because we have seen it with our own eyes and empathize. Where the people were oppressed, and how many good people died, for most of the court bigwigs, it was just a thin piece of rice paper or a few words. ”

Fat Bear smiled: "Stunned, we have already made a contribution to slaughtering the bastards of the Zhang family and those dog officers and soldiers, and we are worthy of both public and private affairs, I estimate that the people who were robbed are almost dead, even if they are not dead, we are not easy to find." At most, when we have the strength and space in the future, let's go to Hongnong County to do more good deeds. ”

"Heh......" Li Wuchang looked at Fat Bear and Chen Lianbao, "I still remember the scene when I was in the West City of Chang'an City, I took Minglun and Brother Xun to beat you violently, at that time I was still a gentleman, and you and I are half a pound and eight taels, they are all gangsters, and they usually just do some things like stealing chickens and dogs or collecting protection money...... After such a long time, I can't imagine that Fat Bear can say such a thing, quite chivalrous!"

The fat bear blushed and was humble.

Chen Lianbao fell into the memory and giggled.

Jiang Minglun and Zhao Xun also remembered the past of Chang'an City and missed it a lot.

Zhai Changping and Cao Hao remembered the scene where Li Wuchang took Jiang Minglun and Zhao Xun to Niumao Mountain to save the two of them.

Nie Quan and Xie Changhao naturally remembered what Li Wuchang had done in Erzizhuang.

And Wu Xun, of course, remembered the scene when everyone had fought together in the past few months.

If it weren't for Li Wuchang, how could everyone get together?

Li Wuchang is still the same, with clear grievances and grievances, he values friends, he always wants to intervene when he sees injustices, and when he sees ordinary people suffering, he says that it has nothing to do with him, but he still can't help but care and sigh.

"That's right!" Li Wuchang retracted his mind and looked at Wu Xun, "Now I ask Mr. Wu to continue to tell us the story of King Fangling, come, everyone applauds!"

Everyone laughed, and then clapped their palms.

I haven't heard the story of King Fangling yet.

Wu Xun also smiled, then coughed lightly, and said, "Where did you talk about it last time?"

Nie Quan raised his hand and said: "Mr. Report, the queen found that King Fangling, who was unusually sloppy on the surface, was actually a talented man with a lot of literary and martial arts, so she wanted to clear the obstacles for her son, and made many means to get rid of King Fangling, and King Fangling avoided it." King Fangling took the initiative to ask to leave the capital, saying that he was not interested in political affairs, and wanted to take a good look at the great country of Dayan, and at the same time broaden his knowledge, and then he returned to Fangling County to settle down, and the emperor gave him the title of King Fangling. ”

Wu Xun nodded and said, "Well, this is it!"

After a pause, he continued: "King Fangling has really traveled to various places in Dayan, it is said that he will carefully record the customs and geographical environment everywhere he goes, and he will write poems and paintings when he is interested, although everyone has not heard of him much, but his poems and paintings are a must, and many people collect them." ”

Li Wuchang said with a smile: "He has high martial arts, good learning, and has traveled enough, and he can even write poems and paintings, this King Fangling is really an all-rounder!

Lin Yong and Zheng Heng are both well-known all-rounders.

Wu Xun smiled: "This is not easy to compare...... However, I am more inclined to King Fangling, in addition to the advantages that I have rarely said, King Fangling also has a lot of hands on getting rich. ”

Jiang Minglun interjected: "King Fangling has such talent, did he do a big job in Fangling County?"

Wu Xun nodded and said: "At that time, Fangling was very poor, and the people were miserable...... The means, should be a rare fight, business, farming, construction, breeding, processing all proficient, and full of creativity, it only took a short time, so that the people lived a good life, and accumulated a lot of wealth. He's very motivated and enthusiastic. There is an interesting thing to say, he organized the people to raise silkworms, personally went to plant mulberry trees, and specially took another name, called Sang Fugui, hehe!"

Everyone is in awe.

Cao Hao muttered: "He is so talented, and he has won the support of the people, and he has accumulated so much wealth, won't it cause taboos, that queen must not be able to bear it, right?"

Wu Xun sighed: "Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, this is not wrong at all...... At that time, although the queen's son had become the crown prince, she was still not at ease, because King Fangling was so good, not only the people supported him, but also many bigwigs in the court said good things about him. The queen thought of a way to frame King Fangling for accumulating so much wealth, secretly building weapons, and wanting to rebel, after a series of conspiracies, King Fangling was really named a rebel. ”

Everyone frowned.

Wu Xun showed a deep expression and continued: "If King Fangling really has that mind, maybe there will really be some chances, but unfortunately, he has always respected his old emperor father very much, how could he rebel and be brought back for interrogation like this...... Alas, he died violently on the road, and it is said that he has a terminal illness!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked in unison.

"Hmph, he must have been killed!" Zhai Changping looked excited.

"You won't be killed by a sneak attack by a master, right?" Cao Hao frowned.

Wu Xun exhaled and said, "Who knows, anyway, he died so inexplicably...... After the death of King Fangling, many people in Fangling were in pain, and many people directly provided the ranking of King Fangling at home, and offered incense to ask for peace every day. Later, the imperial court brought the things of King Fangling into Chang'an, and it is said that he also put the classics he usually wrote into the Wudao Pavilion! Moreover, since then, there is a legend on the rivers and lakes, saying that the king of Fangling buried countless gold and silver in a certain place in Fangling County, as long as it is found, it is enough to dominate the world, most people naturally do not believe it, but some people have carefully checked, including the people of the imperial court, but nothing has been found, it can be seen that this legend of the rivers and lakes is just talking, ethereal, adding some topics after tea and dinner. ”

Chen Lianbao asked: "Although more than 100 years have passed, but King Fangling is so famous, why is there no rumor about him at all? ”

Wu Xun explained: "If the imperial court wants to suppress the influence of a person, there are naturally many ways, not to mention a dead person, at that time, there were still many people who complained about King Fangling, and they were all suppressed and erased the influence of King Fangling." Moreover, later the imperial court also introduced various policies to disperse the people in Fangling. Therefore, there are naturally not many topics about King Fangling, just some so-called legends. ”

After a pause, he continued: "What I said may not be true, I heard from a neighbor of a distant relative, it was a very old man, not in good spirits, not good at talking, few people were interested in chatting with him, because I couldn't hear clearly, I was a little patient, and I accompanied him to drink a few times." ”
