Kun Yi said with virtue: "Since we really met the drunken Eight Immortals, disciples, let's go, why don't we hurry up today and tell the Eight Immortals about the Ming army's slaughter of villages and civilians in the world? Why don't you hurry up and tell the Righteous Eight Immortals? I think the Righteous Eight Immortals will definitely not stand idly by when they hear this."

Hongyi said: "Master, what you said is that we should hurry forward and tell the Drunken Eight Immortals, hurry up and tell the righteous Eight Immortals, and let the Eight Immortals also know about the disaster that is happening here." ”

Kunyi Degong said: "Yes, I think so too, disciple, let's hurry up and see the Drunken Eight Immortals." ”

Hongyi said: "Okay, master, this is really the eyes of the heavens, but at this time, there are drunk eight immortals again." ”

So, the master and apprentice stepped forward again.

But when he walked forward, Na Kunyi's virtue and skill suddenly became suspicious in his heart, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Is there really a drunken eight immortals in the world? Is the drunken eight immortals in the story of the eight immortals crossing the sea true? Is the story about the legend of the eight immortals also true? Is there really such a thing that eight immortals once became immortals and crossed the sea in Penglai Immortal Pavilion? How can it make people feel a feeling of disbelief in their hearts." ”

Thinking like this in his heart, Kunyi Degong kept looking for the answer in his heart, and couldn't help but look carefully at the eight immortals who were approaching and approaching.

Although they all look like the eight immortals dressed in their outfits, and the instruments they are all holding in their hands, they are the same as the eight immortals in the legend of the eight immortals, but they make people look and give people the impression that they are like eight real people, so that people can't tell whether this is the drunken eight immortals or real people in the story of the drunken eight immortals.

So, Kunyi Degong couldn't make up his mind in his heart, and wanted to meet the immortals forward, but he was afraid that these eight people were not immortals, if they were real people, and he was afraid of making jokes.

Legend has it that in Yangzhou, there were Zhang Guolao, He Xiangu, Lu Dongbin, Han Xiangzi, Lan Caihe, Uncle Cao Guo, Tie Guan Li, and Han Zhongli who acted chivalrous and righteous, and the eight immortals were real people in Yangzhou, and the eight immortals in front of him could not be the eight immortals among the eight real immortals in Yangzhou?

Liu Sheng was defeated in Hongjiazhuang, met Hu Lugu along the way, and was followed by Hu Lu Valley, this group returned to Qingzhou, and gathered the people and horses of Tu Village in Qingzhou, and gradually the Ming army of Tu Village was ordered to return to Qingzhou one after another under Liu Sheng's order. After the Ming army returned to Qingzhou, Liu Sheng counted the men, plus the local officials and troops who originally cooperated with the army of Tucun, there were more than 90,000 people. Before the slaughter of the village, Liu Sheng's army plus the local officials and troops were no less than 200,000, and Liu Sheng was a little surprised when he saw that he had only returned with such a small number of men and horses, and said: "Could it be that there will be such a big casualty in the slaughter of the village this time? Impossible, how can this be? Only I have suffered some casualties in Hongjiazhuang, Tengfeihu, He Huier has suffered some casualties, and then Shen Shi has suffered some casualties, and Li Jinlong's entire army has lost 10,000 casualties, how can there be so many casualties?"

But Liu Sheng didn't know that the little general Hong Yunxiu cut down the brave general Biaozi General Fanhu when he was heading east, and slashed the eight fierce generals and the fourth fierce general Liu Qiyuan, Fanhu's men and horses, and Liu Qiyuan's men and horses were all wiped out, aren't these the Ming army? There are some other people and horses who were killed by the eastbound team, and the whole army was annihilated, aren't these the Ming army?

Moreover, there were no less than 10,000 Ming troops killed by Mengzhuang Sanjie and Yucun Erji, and these were not Ming troops? However, this is still very different from the figure of 110,000, that is, the Ming army in Tucun has not completely and completely returned.

The news soon reached the ears of Hu Yun, the governor of Jeju, who heard that Liu Sheng had been defeated, and his first reaction was, "What happened to my three nephews?" So, he hurriedly set off and rushed from Jeju to Qingzhou. I met Liu Sheng in the marshal hall of Liu Sheng in Qingzhou, and after the two met, Liu Sheng retreated left and right, and politely greeted each other, so Hu Yun couldn't wait to get straight to the point: "Marshal Liu, I heard that the marshal has been defeated in this Eastern Expedition, I don't know what robbers are so rampant?

Liu Sheng looked majestic and majestic: "This time to suppress the thieves, the robbers encountered are not a group of strong thieves, it seems that the bandits in Shandong are rampant, and the army of the imperial court has been repeatedly frustrated, the army of the imperial court has just arrived, and they don't know much about the bandits here, is it possible that Hu Zhizhou, as the local governor, and the parents and officials here, will not even know that the bandits here are rampant to such a point?"

Liu Sheng's passive and active questioning, sure enough, with an invisible deterrent effect, made Hu Yun feel that Liu Sheng's person was not easy to provoke, with Liu Sheng's words, he prevaricated to the court how serious the problem of rampant bandits here is, and then said to the court that Hu Yun hid and did not report, who would the court listen to? Naturally, he will listen to him, the generalissimo of the thief An Yuanhou, and the local officials in Jiaodong surrendered to the thief Tang Sai'er, which made Hu Yun feel afraid, afraid that the court would investigate him and have no way to govern, and now seeing Liu Sheng say this, he felt in danger and fear like a knife about to stab his heart, so he couldn't help but take out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat and said: "Marshal Liu, then what do you say about it now? What support do you need from our place? Please Marshal just speak." ”

As soon as Liu Sheng saw Hu Yun, he immediately changed his tone and attitude, and when he saw that he looked scared and nervous, he said softly and hardly: "Alas, Hu Zhizhou, what are you asking me to say about you? For the seriousness of the bandits here, if I conceal it from the imperial court and do not report it, the responsibility lies with me, and the imperial court sees that I am newly defeated, and I don't know that the banditry here has reached such a serious level, and thinks that I have made a mistake in command, if I report it truthfully to the imperial court, right? Hu Zhizhou, think about it, what will happen to the imperial court? Why does the imperial court only know about Tang Sai'er, but not about the bandit trouble of Hongxiu women? Why don't you know that most of the officials in Jiaodong here have surrendered to the thieves?"

Hu Yun said: "Marshal, these are the subordinates' negligence and poor management, please ask the marshal to think of a perfect strategy, or to eradicate the overall situation of the anti-thieves here, we should work together to fight the thieves, and you and I should call each other here first." ”

Liu Sheng said: "My responsibility is to exterminate the anti-thieves and eliminate the bandits for the imperial court, your responsibility is to govern the peace of one party, although our responsibilities are different, but the current purpose is the same, that is, to restore the peace here as soon as possible, and eliminate the anti-thieves as soon as possible, don't you want to do this?" This time, the bandits here are so serious, I can not report to the imperial court for the first time, continue to train people, accumulate strength, as long as the time is ripe, in one fell swoop, all the anti-thieves are wiped out, eradicate the bandits here, if Hu Zhizhou doesn't want to let the imperial court know, what should I do, I don't think Hu Zhizhou won't know, right?"

Hu Yun said: "Xia Guan understands that the marshal has the right to mobilize any army in our place, and besides, Xia Guan supports the marshal with all his heart, and I am recommending ten generals to the marshal, these ten war generals, each with their own specialties, the marshal will definitely be useful." ”

Liu Sheng said: "Okay, in this way, when the anti-thieves are exterminated, you Hu Zhizhou will be indispensable." ”

Hu Yundao: "Ten generals, after I return to Jeju, I will be there immediately." ”

The red show girl and Bai Jin'e, get up early in the morning before dawn, say goodbye to the heroes of Hongjiazhuang, leave Hongjiazhuang on the road, and go to the mountain with Bai Jin'e. Along the way, I walked until dawn, but suddenly a masked white-clothed Taoist appeared on the road, and the Taoist said: "Girl, this is more auspicious, or ask the girl to go back." ”
