The disturbance in Changyuan County last night had nothing to do with Su Bingnan, and early this morning, a group of people and horses were ready and left immediately. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The golden toad fought for his eyes, but he turned the world in Zhongzhou. This sentence, which has been repeated by people last night, seems to have brought some changes to Changyuan County.

When he walked to the gate of the city, Su Bingnan could still see that there were rangers or people from the rivers and lakes entering the city one after another, and there were too many rivers and lakes in this county town.

When Su Bingnan felt something in his heart and turned his head to look at the county town behind him, he seemed to be able to hear the shouts and fights of countless people.

Putting aside his thoughts, Su Bingnan walked into the distance with complicated feelings.

......

The Taihang Mountains on the west side hover over the earth, winding and endless.

As the so-called mountain and river metropolis, if the world is divided by a chessboard, the Taihang Mountains are undoubtedly a natural danger, and Shanxi, Hebei, and the Central Plains are separated by him.

The Eight Paths of Taihang are the eight holes of the Taihang Mountains, which can be said to be the throat passage and an important military pass.

Today's eight paths are far from being compared with three hundred years ago, the world has been peaceful for three hundred years, since Emperor Wu, the military has become increasingly decadent, and the Taihang Pass, which is far away from Su Bingnan, may no longer be so difficult to cross.

Retracting his gaze from afar, Su Bingnan found that there was some movement at the intersection ahead.

When a caravan is stopped by a group of men in armor, it must be strictly investigated.

"You are Huang Mang?" asked a middle-aged officer and soldier to the burly man in the caravan.

Huang Mang nodded yes.

At this time, the situation was different from what Huang Mang expected, and he asked the leading officer and soldier, "What about Lord Huang Shiqi? ”

The middle-aged officer and soldier glanced at Huang Mang and said, "He's in prison." ”

"What?!" A short man next to Huang Mang immediately shouted, "This can't be!"

The officers and soldiers directly kicked the man and said, "Don't fuck nonsense, now it's Lao Tzu who is in charge." ”

Su Bingnan's eyes froze, and he saw that the short man was Zhou Jun who he had met before.

Huang Mang grabbed Zhou Jun's hand, signaled him not to be impulsive, and said, "Relax." ”

Then Huang Mang took a step forward, his tall body stood directly in front of the man, and said: "'The residence is respectful, the deacon is respectful, and the people are loyal; 'I wonder if you've heard these words, Master Zhang?'

The man was surprised, "How do you know my surname is Zhang?"

Huang Mang looked at him condescendingly and said, "Your name is Zhang Yuan." ”

Ignoring Zhang Yuan's surprise, Huang Mang said: "Thirty merits, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. I'm a lifter, this time I'm going to Beijing to take the exam, and you, a nameless petty official, dare to make things difficult for me?"

After looking at those officers and soldiers, Huang Mang continued: "If I want to be an officer, I can do it now, but I want to be a junior sergeant." ”

Zhang Yuan's face was a little ugly, he knew that Huang Mang had been lifted, which meant that he already had the qualifications to be an official, and he didn't have to be like himself, it took twenty years to get to his current position. And once Huang Mang won the Jinshi, his career in the future was extremely smooth, not to mention being able to be the minister, at least he would soon be able to be a "Baili Hou".

Zhang Yuan's ghost made a mistake, and immediately lifted the covering fabric on Huang Mang's group of board cars.

Zhou Jun, Wang Chongba and others were shocked, their bodies tensed, and they were ready.

Zhang Yuan looked at the undisguised outlines of the salt cubes, and said to Huang Mang word by word: "This lifter, you don't even bother to hide it?"

The pair of officers and soldiers immediately pressed their weapons with their hands in their hands, and their swords were tense, and the atmosphere became tense in an instant.

"I thought this was Huang Shiqi here to check today. Huang Mang's tone was a little helpless.

"He's already in jail. Zhang Yuan said coldly.

"Zhang Yuan, you should think about your son. Huang Mang said.

"What did you say?" asked Zhang Yuan.

"Your son has studied hard until now, and now he is old enough to see the county, but it is said that he often does not eat meat, and even the books he reads are copied by himself. Zhang Yuan, don't you want your son to have a better life, to be able to eat a little meat a day, and not to borrow other people's books and copy them with difficulty?" Huang Mang looked at Zhang Yuan's eyes and said seriously.

The arrogance in Zhang Yuan's whole body disappeared at once, looking at Huang Mang in front of him, thinking of his son at home, he was speechless for a while.

Huang Mang's face was expressionless, he pointed at the adjutant among these people, and said, "Xu Xiang, your daughter has also reached the age when she should get married, right?"

The person named Xu Xiang was startled, turned his head to look at Zhang Yuan, and said in a trembling voice: "Why are you ......?"

"It's a pity, if her dowry is less, what will her in-laws think of her, and then her savings will only be a dowry at the beginning. Huang Mang said in a quiet tone.

After Huang Mang said similar things to several people, the group of officers and soldiers were silent.

"I will become the assassin of this Zhongzhou in the future!" Huang Mang's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "For the sake of the official and the benefit of one party, you can choose to stop me and then report this matter, but I promise that you will pay the price in the future." ”

As soon as the words changed, Huang Mang's tone changed slightly, and then said: "It is not easy for everyone in this world. Whether it's 'courteous and courteous, all brothers in the four seas', or blood and swords, you choose. ”

Zhou Jun and Wang Chongba came to Huang Mang's side at this time, revealing the long knife on their waists, looking at these people.

Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Let's go." ”

Huang Mang glanced at them and patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder, and these smuggler salt dealers pretending to be a caravan slowly moved forward.

From a distance, Su Bingnan watched the whole process, even he had to admire this smuggler who was lifted.

......

Halfway through, the team disguised as a caravan divided into two roads, most of the people and horses formed a group, and quickly moved away, while Huang Mang and the two young men moved forward alone and rushed towards the direction of the capital.

On the road, Su Bingnan and his entourage, who happened to be on the same road, naturally met the three of them, and they walked together for a few days, so they naturally became familiar with each other.

Ruan Qing is a big family in Lugang Village, Changyuan County, and like Chen Chichu from Fengyang Village, he has been reading poetry and books since he was a child.

And that Huang Mang is a person from Huangjia Village, compared to the two of them, he can only be regarded as a rough brush and ink when he was young. However, since eight or nine years ago, Huang Mang has been very interested in poetry and books, and after winning the move, he has entered Beijing twice to catch the exam, although they are both named Sun Shan, but this time Enke, he and Ruan Qing and Chen Chichu made an appointment to go together.

This Enke is not an ordinary imperial examination, because the current emperor gave birth to a son, which is a celebration for the imperial court, not only amnesty to the world, but also a special examination.

Along the way, the three of them noticed that Su Bingnan was not very human, and the people behind him were marching strictly, and they were secretly powerful. The three of them did not lose their mood because of this, and they still talked to Su Bingnan without humility or arrogance.

A few days later, the three of them looked at the hardships of the people on the road and couldn't help but be speechless for a long time.

There is hunger on the way, and the children are eaten, perhaps it is no longer words on paper, these tragic words have become the reality of how difficult the people's livelihood is, and it happened naked in front of you.

Fortunately, as they got closer and closer to the capital, Su Bingnan and the others could also notice that the situation had improved, at least there were no more dead bodies on the side of the road.

"Fortunately, the Holy God has granted amnesty and ordered the world to reduce taxes together, so that I believe that the life of the people will be much better. Ruan Qing said with a sigh.

The crowd was silent.

As he got closer and closer to the Gyeonggi area of Youzhou, Su Bingnan found that Wang Tianya was becoming more and more silent.

Wang Tianya held the knife in his hand tightly, and his daily practice became more and more desperate.

Sometimes, Wang Tianya would take out a piece of jade pendant, look dazed, and quickly pull out the knife in his hand and stare at it in front of him for a long time.

One day, everyone finally saw the walls of the capital.

To the south of the capital is an important city built by the outer city, which is twenty-eight miles long. Due south is Yongding Gate, the left side of Yongding Gate is Zuo'an Gate, and the right side is You'an Gate. The city gate on the east side is called Guangqu Gate, and the upper side of Guangqu Gate is the East Gate......

Su Bingnan and his entourage were going to enter the capital from Yongding Gate.

Yongding Gate is the largest of the seven city gates in the outer city of the capital, belongs to the thoroughfare, and its city tower shape is the heavy eaves rest mountain. There are city towers and arrow towers, there are two layers of arrow windows on each side, each layer has several holes, glazed tile ridge beasts decorate it, the majesty is extraordinary.

Approaching this door of "eternal stability", Huang Mang and the three of them couldn't help but have a solemn mood in their hearts.

"The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies!" Ruan Qing looked at the capital with a foolish look in his eyes, and couldn't help but say what Taizu said when he was dying.

For this sentence, since Emperor Wu, Dahao has set up nine important military towns along the defense line of the Great Wall in the northern border, also known as the Nine Border Towns, to guard the people of Dahao from the invasion of Wuhu.

Today, Dahao's national strength is declining, but the Hu people have not been able to invade on a large scale after all, and this nine-sided town is like a wall of heaven, absorbing Dahao's financial resources and keeping the people peaceful. Thousands of miles of defense line still standing.

And the capital is not far from this line of defense, the imperial capital is close to the border town, and the Son of Heaven is guarding the country.

As soon as he approached the city gate, one person looked at Su Bingnan's face and immediately stopped the group.

"Dismount, check!" a city gate guard shouted to Su Bingnan.

Someone immediately presented the relevant certificates, stating that they were six doors or brocade guards.

The man didn't raise his eyelids, looked directly at Su Bingnan, and said, "I suspect that you have a problem, come and let me search your body!"

Su Bingnan looked at his arrogant appearance, and immediately knew that this person might be Shu Jiayou or someone from the Fifth Nanshan.

Just when the man was impatient, a fast horse suddenly rushed towards the city gate like an electric bolt in the distance.

The crowd dodged one after another, and the horse riding on the earth was about to break into Yongding Gate.

"The Comer ......"

Bang!!!

As soon as the man who had just stopped Su Bingnan said three words, trying to stop the horse, he was knocked into the air, and he vomited blood in mid-air, and he fell to the ground and was trampled on his chest by the horse, and he couldn't live.

"Eight hundred miles of urgency! Death to those who block! Death to those who block!"

Su Bingnan looked intently, the people parted on both sides, and several people avoided it, and were slashed by the rider with a knife, mercilessly.

The sound of horses' hooves still echoed, and many people were at a loss as to what had happened.

The crowd was about to enter the city, when the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and a gust of wind rushed towards the city at a speed not inferior to that of the previous horse.

In less than a moment, there were two pieces of information that were urgent for eight hundred miles.

Su Bingnan's heart tightened, he raised his head to look at the sky, and felt that the sky was suddenly dark.

......

On this day, a white-bearded old man riding a green ox was suddenly stunned, stopped talking to the boy, and slowly rose into the air, looking in the direction of the imperial capital with complicated eyes. Tianshan, Kunlun, Zushan, Qinling, Dabie, Yanshan, in his eyes, the dragon has died.

In the Sword Pavilion King's house, the Heavenly and Human Realm, who had closed his eyes for ten years, opened his eyes, and at the same time, the roar of the 18,000 sharp swords around him was endless.

In the Li family in Zhongzhou, an old man said to the head of the family: "The sky has changed, prepare early." ”

In the land south of the Yangtze River, a stunning woman dressed in a big red robe, looked at the few people kneeling under her feet with a normal face, glanced at the north, and said, "Dare to question the old mother of Qinglian, you can die." ”

In the Shaolin Temple, a monk smiled and took out the "Pranya Palm" from his arms.

On a mountain peak, the world's No. 1 who is known as "one person is a peak" woke up from a deep sleep, inadvertently glanced at the distance, and continued to sleep.

On this day, the old Mr. Sima from Huangjia Village said goodbye to the child's reluctant eyes, carried a long sword, and left Changyuan County.

There was a sound, smoke and fire came out of the bamboo tube, and Hao Zhi of Qingyun City said to Han Baohu: "This black powder thing still has some power, what do you call it?" Han Baohu replied that it was called black powder.

Hao Zhi suddenly felt something, looked into the distance, turned around again, and said to Gu Xuanji who was standing on the side: "Qingyun City has been staying for a long time, it's time to go back to Jinling." ”

......

On this day, the capital received bad news.

Wuhu jointly knocked on the pass, broke through the nine-sided town, Dahao 100,000 iron cavalry collapsed, and only more than 10,000 cavalry escaped.

The leader of the clan, who was known as invincible, ordered to build a human head Jingguan, and the heads of 30,000 soldiers looked at the Central Plains without turning a blind eye.

On this day, Zhou and Wang, two smuggler salt dealers, gathered hundreds of people, rose up in Gunzhou, and captured the county, which was strong for a while.

The displaced people of Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Huizhou took advantage of the chaos to rise up, broke the officers and soldiers, looted and slaughtered the strong, and millions of hungry people moved in anticipation of the wind, and the ants attached themselves to these dozens of rebel armies.

On this day, Sun Daoshang, the assassin of Jiannan Mansion, secretly killed the imperial court to check and balance the Qincha, and refused to hand over the money and grain.

......

The wind rises at the end of Qingping and the waves become between the waves, and this time, between the grass, it sets off a monstrous wind and waves.

The cold night is coming.
