On the way up the mountain, the mountain road was a little bumpy, and it seemed difficult for ordinary people to climb up, although Ling Yu and the others were cultivators, they also seemed a little laborious, their faces were red, and they were out of breath. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A few people stopped to rest, gasping for breath, Long Chenyi said: "This Qincha guard sailed down the river, enjoying it very much, and it was not worth it for us to climb the mountain and explore so tiredly." Why don't we set off with the Chincha Guard, wouldn't that be faster?"

Ling Yu stroked the green silk, smiled, and said: "You are really a character who walks the rivers and lakes, and you don't know anything about this officialdom, you are really not suitable to be a monarch." Our step is a plan to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chencang, the matter in the southwest is by no means simple, and the death of Qin Cha is not an accident. If we want to find out about this, we can't go openly, then we won't find anything. ”

"Only by letting the Qincha Guards march forward with great fanfare, while we go to the southwest by land, and conduct secret visits and secret inspections on the way, can we find out what we want, and from the mouths of the people, can we really know whether the official qualities of the bureaucrats in the southwest are popular with the people. In the officialdom, we must grasp the hearts of the people, and we must learn to fight wits and courage, and the so-called 36 strategies must be used, so that we can not only find out the truth, but also protect our own safety. ”

Long Chenyi looked admiring and said: "I have envied the rivers and lakes all my life, and I never care about the affairs of this officialdom. The pavilion master is worthy of being a master, although he is in the rivers and lakes, he knows a lot about officialdom, and today's words have indeed benefited a lot, it seems that it is really not easy to really be an emperor. ”

Ling Yu smiled slightly and said, "Don't envy me, these are all taught to me by others, and what I understand is just the surface of it." As he spoke, he glanced at the carefree man who was sitting on the ground resting.

Long Chenyi was a little puzzled, and said, "Could it be that you don't know much about all this?"

Ling Yu nodded and said, "Of course, everything I know is what he taught. ”

Long Chenyi looked at Wu Wu, a little incredulous, this was very different from what he imagined.

Carefree sat aside, his face still cold, and he didn't say a word.

At this time, a short old woman entered the sight of several people, and the scene in front of her was heartbreaking.

The old woman was in rags, with a cane in her hand, and leaned over, and walked step by step up the mountain.

The old man's hair was messy and pale, and his dark face was full of wrinkles, and some of his faces were full of the vicissitudes of time. His eyes were sunken, his eyelids were dehydrated, his eyes were shining, revealing a hint of joy, and there must have been a belief in his heart. There are a few deep wrinkles on his forehead, and those wrinkles are full of the footprints left by the years. The wings of the nose are slightly flattened, the lips are dry, there is no redness, and there is no moisture, no vitality, no joy on the face.

The old man's hands were shriveled, his skin was dark, and the bones on the back of his hands were prominent, leaving only a layer of wrinkled skin, no smoothness, no brilliance.

The old man was bent over, his legs were already staggering, and the strength of his body depended on the crutch made of ordinary wood.

The old man struggled to move forward step by step, and every time he took two steps, the old man had to stand and breathe for a while, and with each breath, he raised his eyes to look at the front of the road, as if he was looking at the end of the road.

Although it is very difficult and very dangerous, every step, if you are not careful, there is a danger to your life, but the old man is determined, even if she is tired, she insists on crawling forward, even if it is dangerous, she does not give up. In her heart, there must be a firm belief supporting her, otherwise she would not have such perseverance.

Ling Yu looked at the old woman in front of her, and was very surprised in her heart, in this high mountain, how could an old woman who was nearly eighty years old come to this deep mountain alone? What kind of thing made her have to come here? What kind of faith was in her heart that supported her?

Although they are passers-by who don't know each other, they look at the old man in front of him. I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart, and tears flowed instantly.

The old man walked forward step by step, Ling Yu and the others were going to go down the mountain from the fork in the road here, seeing this situation, they really didn't feel at ease to leave.

Several people followed the old woman silently, and suddenly, the old man did not stand firm in a single step, slipped under his feet, fell backwards, and fell.

Ling Yu was shocked, and with a light effort, he came to the old man's side in an instant, supported the old man, and everyone's hanging hearts settled down.

This kind of light work and speed is very normal for Ling Yu, and there is no difficulty in saving a person in the blink of an eye, but the old man in front of him is very old, such a backward fall, let alone falling, even if he is scared, he will scare people to death, fortunately, the old man has no effect, maybe she often walks on this road, and she expected such a thing to happen, so she was not so afraid.
