Qing Pingle

Danqing history, it is difficult to level the business.

The wild goose is in the cloud, the fish is in the water, who is melancholy?

The slanting sun leaned on the west building alone, and the bright moon was lonely.

The face of the person is unknown, and the spring peach and autumn laurel are still the same.

Chapter 2: Plums and peaches are juxtaposed, and blessings and misfortunes are known

Section 1: Crossing the Huai River

The next day, when the genius saw the dawn, everyone got up early and secretly, said goodbye to the old lady of the old village, and secretly went north out of the village in the morning light. Tianci is all the way wordless to send each other far, want to go together, the heart is relieved that the second brother will go north this time, this time there will be no smooth sailing along the way, it must be very sinister.

Since Tianci returned to Renjiabao to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, he and the second brother are the most intimate, they have nothing to talk about each other, nothing to discuss, Tianci is the respect of the second brother in the world, and Tianqi regards Tianci as the heir of Renjiabao.

When we reached the mouth of the canal, it was already said that the trees were high, the sky was cloudless, and the heat was frequent.

Ren Tianqi stopped, turned around and persuaded with a smile: "Third brother, don't leave it here, don't send it forward." The future of the brother going north is uncertain, even if it is more auspicious and less auspicious, but there is no worry about the surname, you can rest assured; besides, the eldest brother Tianhui is an official outside, it is rare to come back, the family will be all entrusted to you alone, everything must be more careful, the village gang must be reluctant to make it difficult, more attentive, or ask the two old men, or ask a few righteous brothers, and a few righteous brothers, and a few righteous brothers, do not put on the master's shelf; ”

Tianci smiled: "Second brother, don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old child, and I will weigh the weight." However, the second brother and the elder brother of the Tang family are kind-hearted, benevolent and disgusting, and the murderous intention is insufficient. Now the elder brother does not allow the younger brother to go with him, but the younger brother wants to persuade the two elder brothers to be ruthless and black enough in everything. With good intentions, how many people in this world want to end well? People are good at being bullied by others, and horses are good at riding for others. ”

Xiao Sangong Ming said with a smile: "Third master, don't worry, our master wants to be benevolent and righteous, boy, I am not a fuel-efficient master, and I have to take the lead in everything." ”

Tang Shengzhi said with a smile: "Third master, please go back to yourself, I will go to Shaolin just to inquire about the whereabouts of the old gang leader, there will be nothing wrong, besides, we also have so many masters, and no one is so bold as to dare to assassinate the general." Third master, let's go back, we're on our way. ”

What else did Tianci want to say, Ren Tianqi raised his hand to stop, looked at Tianci affectionately, kicked the horse's belly, and flew out of the horse.

Everyone hugged their fists towards the third master, turned around and beat the horses and flew away.

Ren Tianqi and his entourage acted in a low-key manner, all of them were plainly dressed, shrewd and capable, wearing hats, black scarves, and black boots, a total of eleven people, thirteen horses, and two horses for carrying and putting things for use. The group was cautious, fast, stayed early, and did not miss the mountains and rivers along the road.

At noon the next day, he came to the old camp on the bank of the Huai River.

The black and white eagles had already received the report and brought a few personal soldiers to the old camp to wait, took everyone into the big tent, and ordered them to go down to prepare wine and food early.

Black Eagle said: "Brother Xian, the old prince has sent someone to inquire about the whereabouts of his younger brother and sister and Yang Yang, it seems that the younger brother and sister mother and daughter really don't want to show up, this matter is really not easy to handle." ”

Ren Tianqi shook his hand and said, "I don't have to talk about this in advance, Old Man Qiu of Longqiu Zhuang has sent someone to the north to investigate." The county lords are not in danger of their lives for the time being, they don't want to show their faces, what can we do. I'm not in love with the county lord yet. ”

Black Eagle said: "The newly recruited 20,000 recruits have been handed over. Hey, don't say it, Yingguiquan, the old bastard, really has a set, he governs the army on the horse, governs the people on the horse, the head is the way, and he is in good order, and the officers and soldiers of the people are all admired, and they can't wait to go to the soup for him. It's good for me to wait, but now I sit in the lobby every day, doing nothing, and it's very uncomfortable. ”

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "This is natural, Lord Ying is full of brocade, both civil and military, and enthusiastic, if he was born into the emperor's family, he is the capital of the ancient saints; It's a pity that like you and me, I was born at the wrong time, I can't use it, it's difficult to show my talents, and I'm just depressed. Now it is a great honor for him to be able to give him a state or two. ”

Gong Ming said with a smile: "Lord Keying is not a person from us and others, but sent by the imperial court, and his loyalty is difficult to show. ”

Ren Tianqi shook his hand and said with a smile: "There is no doubt about employing people, but there is no need for suspicious people, then there are people who have done a good job, and there is no reason to reward and punish them." Furthermore, in addition to the uncle's civil and military skills, who else can take on his heavy responsibilities, but the uncle is still too young and not stable enough, but like Xu Huai, in the face of the Jin country, it is easy to take it and difficult to defend. Lord Ying may betray me, but he will not rebel against the court. I don't betray the court, and Lord Ying will not betray me, but when I go north, Lord Ying knows?" Ren Tianqi turned his head and said.

Black Eagle said: "I don't know, I also received a letter from Second Brother Wen Feige to know that you want to go north to Shaolin." The two of us also came here under the pretext of patrolling the old camp. ”

Ren Tianqi nodded and said, "Is there a new situation in the northern departments recently?"

Black Eagle glanced at Adi White Eagle, and White Eagle said: "The various departments of the Dajin Kingdom have not seen anything abnormal, and Long Kemu has returned to Yanzhou opposite Xuzhou to sit in the town, and has been promoted to the chief military officer of Yanzhou Metropolitan Command, and has full authority to contact and contact our department, and we have always had contacts with each other. ”

Black Eagle said: "It's just a banquet, I heard that the people in Jiaodong are uneasy, and there are signs of rebellion in the garrisons around the country. We have also sent a large number of scouts to the area. Just ------"

Ren Tianqi smiled: "What are you worried about?"

Bai Ying said: "We are worried that when the incident happens suddenly, will the old prince invite me to lead the troops north." ”

Black Eagle shook his head and continued: "I don't want to invite you, but I still hold my younger siblings and sheep and sheep, Ge Laozi, what kind of old father-in-law is this, he doesn't recognize you as a fast son-in-law of the dragon, why do we want to recognize his bullshit prince." ”

Ren Tianqi sighed and said with a smile: "It's not up to the old prince to decide whether to go or not, it needs the nod of the gold master; again, the current situation is different from the previous time when he went north to rescue the driver, and the situation is critical; we are foreign ministers, and we can't manage his Dajin state affairs; moreover, we have been sending troops to the north recently, using troops abroad, and there are a lot of losses, and the advantages and weaknesses of the Xuzhou troops have been greatly displayed in front of the world, and there is no superiority at all. I am reluctant and do not advocate sending troops north again. ”

Black Eagle said: "That's it, each for his own master, who can manage the bullshit Zhang Sanli Si many things, whoever gives us sweetness will help whom, who is willing to do the things that are not beneficial." ”

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "The wooden frame of the horse rejection and the horse cutting knife that I asked someone to send last time have you still built it?"

Black Eagle said: "A total of 500 horse rejection frames, 3,000 swords, divided Xuzhou and Huai River estuary, each trained 1,000 horse rejection hands, all of them are old subordinates from Yangzhou." ”

Ren Tianqi nodded, and said with a smile: "The candidate is very important, this is a good way for us to deal with the fast horses of the Dajin Kingdom, and we must also know how to hide it for later use; ”

Black Hawk nodded and said with a smile: "Good fellow, you have to eat eighty pigs a day." I've almost eaten all the pigs here. ”

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "You can't always feed yourself, you must also feed more raw horses, and you have to feed those who are hungry for two days a day, so that the two armies will not be timid before the war." ”

The Eagle nodded.

Ren Tianqi walked out a few steps, turned around and smiled: "How are those big insects trained? This is our secret trick, and it must not be used until a difficult moment!"

Twin Eagle nodded and smiled, "Almost." ”

The soldiers had already set up a banquet, and everyone was busy sitting at the table and drinking happily. Ren Tianqi has been in a bad mood recently and rarely drinks freely. Today, there are black and white eagles here, and everyone has not gathered for a long time, but they can't help it, but they only drink a little wine, talk with everyone, and then disperse and rest early.

At dawn the next day, Ren Tianqi and his entourage crossed the Huai River with the black and white eagles and walked to Xuzhou. After Xuzhou, the black and white eagles sent out another ten miles, and after a few words, they hit the horse back to the city, and Ren Tianqi and his party were flying horses.

Gong Ming smiled on the horse: "I said master, the third master and the fourth master seem to have changed today, I don't understand it, I don't understand it." ”

Ren Tianqi took the horse slightly, turned around and smiled: "Why don't you understand, let's hear it." ”

Xiao San smiled and said, "Master Ma, tell me, what do our two baby masters like the most?"

Ma Benqing in the back said with a smile: "Who doesn't know, the two generals' favorite is wine, followed by the excitement, especially fights, battlefields, where to have fun." ”

Gong Ming smiled: "That's right, even Ma Ye knows this." Besides, in the past two days, the two masters did not even mention a word about going north, nor did they ask us what we were going north for. Isn't that unreasonable?"

Tang Shengzhi said with a smile: "Gong Ming is right, I am also wondering in my heart." It is indeed inconsistent with the normal behavior of the two. ”

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "What don't you understand, now they are also a big party, they need to be restrained, and there are many military affairs, how can they compare with when they were in Yangzhou; ”

Everyone laughed all the way and rode their horses away.

After another walk, he has gone out of Shandong and entered Henan, and he has seen many mountains and narrow roads, and poor mountains and bad waters are common, but there are not many pedestrians. Everyone couldn't help but be more cautious, extremely careful.

After eating a few pieces of dry food and drinking some water, everyone was resting on the side of the road.

At the end of autumn, although the weather has turned cool, the sun at noon is still huge and scorching, although the mountain breeze is blowing, people and horses are still very hot and unbearable.

From a distance, I saw a middle-aged farmer who was fighting a hoe on the opposite side, although his clothes were common, but they were clean and neat, and he was humming a small tune all the way.

Gong Ming hurriedly stepped forward to salute and asked with a smile: "This uncle, where is this place called, why is it so deserted, is it this way to go to Songshan Shaolin?"

The farmer stopped and stood hoe, looked up at Gong Ming, and then turned his head to look at the people behind him, stroked his beard, nodded and said: "This place is called Mige, which means that there is a mountain pass ten miles away, which is shaped like a grain of rice, small and narrow at both ends, big in the middle, and among the mountains, it is indeed rare for people to come and go." However, this road can also go to Songshan Mountain, and it is a must-pass place. ”

Gong Ming heard that although this person was slow to speak, he was articulate and had something to say, so he was stunned for a moment, so he smiled and said: "Speaking of which, there are often bad people here?"

The farmer smiled and said, "It is said that it was a robbery, but where did you get it, when did the world ever be peaceful? ”

Gong Ming smiled: "This uncle, you are also a person who has seen the world, it's not simple." ”

The farmer smiled, hugged his fists and said goodbye, resisted the hoe and turned away, and the song in his mouth was sung, rough and bold, just to come calmly and go chic.

Gong Ming turned around, came to everyone, and said with a smile: "It seems that this place is by no means a good place, a little farmer can speak so amazingly, not embarrassed or dry, it is indeed an eye-opener." As the saying goes, the Central Plains has always been a place where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden, and it seems that what is said is true. ”

Ren Tianqi shook his head and smiled: "Is it possible that you can speak well in the whole world?"

Gong Ming hugged his fist at Tang Shengzhi and said with a smile: "Master Tang, you see, such a master is very difficult to serve, neither left nor right, if there are fewer words, it is not good to talk more, and it is difficult to accommodate." ”

Ren Tianqi scolded with a smile: "Look, you can endure it, you say a word, he reverses ten sentences back to you, can you still manage it if you go on like this? Forget it, you can go back and find a place to guard the border." ”

Gong Ming said with a smile: "That's not possible, my mouth is already dissatisfied, if you find another place, if you provoke the people to complain, if you don't kill me when you're angry, I'll stay by my side, scolding is not dead." ”

Ren Tianqi scolded with a smile: "Look at this unpromising appearance, he is also a general." ”

Tang Shengzhi smiled: "Isn't it too peaceful here, and there are bad guys?"

Gong Ming nodded and said, "That's what the farmer said, I don't think I should go and see it before." ”

Ren Tianqi smiled: "No need, we didn't bring anything valuable this time." Everyone hurry up on the road, find a place to settle down early and rest early, I think it will be less than two days to Shaolin. ”

The people got on their horses and hurried away.

Sure enough, the mountain road is becoming more and more treacherous, and the mountains on both sides are also overgrown with weeds, and the forests are luxuriant, and there are no people in sight; it is even more rare to find a figure in the fields by the roadside, and the wild grass is full of green, the wind blows and shakes, and it is very quiet, only the birds on the mountains on both sides are frightened by the sound of horses' hooves from time to time and fly up and down, and a piece is deserted.

Ren Tianqi instructed everyone to be careful, and everyone walked slowly.
