Great Sui Guoshi

hiss--

There were inhaling and murmuring sounds one after another, which made it impossible for everyone to pick up the words, and after a long while, the voice spoke angrily.

"Just like our Majesty...I'm afraid...to..."

The aroma of tea was lingering, and the speaker looked at the street outside the tea shop from the corner of his eye. Several guards patrolling the street passed by, stopped talking immediately, picked up the teacup and pushed towards the surrounding tea shoppers.

"Drink tea, drink tea."

Regarding the beheading of the great Confucian Wang Shuhua, there was an uproar in the capital and even most of the Nanchen scholar circles. Some impatient scholars called friends and went to the local county government to sit quietly. Some people heard the news and cried loudly. The annotated classics were once regarded as classics.

According to legend, Duke Shuhua rushed to the Golden Palace to anger the emperor to avenge the injustice of his student. There were also messages from the capital saying that the old man could not understand His Majesty's attitude towards the He Liangzhou matter, and the humiliation of his favorite student, Capture, the three are mixed together, and this is the theory of Shangjindian.

After the old man died, more topics shifted to the old man's student Lu Liangsheng. Some people said that he was killed by the captured army on the spot, but it is believed that the other party left the Chen Dynasty and lived far away in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

It's really nothing to vote for Bei Zhou. What really scares them is the opponent's ability to call wind and rain with magic.

In the past two months or so, the discussion has become much less heated. The scholar who was mentioned walked through He Liangzhou leading the Lin Beast that had turned into an old donkey again.

In the places we passed, the brownish-yellow land finally had a sense of fertile substance. Although the population has become sparse, farmers can still be seen busy in the reclaimed fields, and the stretches of mountains are green and sparse, but it is better than it used to be like graves. The appearance of the package.

"Finally not in vain..."

Lu Liangsheng walked through this land, everyone he met, he smiled and nodded to each other, passing by the re-organized small village to rest, sometimes he could hear the story of the rain from the fairy in white, which became the most strange story told in this land .

The people in this land know that the current life is not easy to come by. Almost every household has a spiritual tablet in the main room, engraved with the words 'White Clothed Immortal'.

It was already the afternoon of the second day after leaving Heliangzhou and arriving at the original Wangjiazhuang.

Know... know know know...

The annoying neighing continued to be heard from the cicadas in the forest, and the old donkey swung his tongue around his mouth, and a lot of heat was transpiring on it.

Sun Yingxian looked at a familiar woods in front of him, remembered a certain severe beating that he couldn't bear to look back on, and hurriedly turned and ran away. On the bookshelf he passed, Hong Lian hummed a little song, sometimes put on a painted skin, and fell not far away, giving everyone Come to a new play.

Creaky and wobbly bookshelf compartments.

Inside the small open door, Taoist Toad had his jacket on and his short legs were crossed. The palm-sized leaves acted as palm-leaf fans and kept flickering.

"Liangsheng, give Shi Huan a glass of ice water, for the cheese one, add two cherries!"

"Be patient, master, the river is about to cross."

Walking ahead, the scholar in coir raincoat and bamboo hat looked at the opposite Changhe and said with a smile. When he reached the desolate ferry, a small boat slowly came.

As the evening light fell on his handsome profile, Lu Liangsheng looked at the invisible figure on the boat, and bowed his hands in salute.

"Boater, can you take us across the river?"

"Haha, old boats are famously fast on this river!"

The boatman laughed heartily, echoing in the sunset.

"Both guest officers, let's get on board."

The boat swayed, and soon it was pulled away from the ferry. Lu Liangsheng took off his bamboo hat, stood on the bow of the boat, and looked to the east, as if he saw the outline of a huge city.

'My mentor...Liangsheng is back. '

The wind is warm, and the hair is gently stroked.

Chapter 162 Visit

The evening wind blew across the river beach, and the reeds were slightly shaken in the residual red of the setting sun.

There was a sound of 'wow', and the boat pushed away the water pattern and came from the river, gently crossing the bridge, Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey ashore, turned around and waved goodbye to the boatman.

"Two guest officers, go slowly!"

The old boatman had nothing to say, he put away his pole and walked to the shore, looked around, and said to himself just like in the past: "It's not good to drink the village chief's wine, you should pay him a gift... hey, Get him some fish."

Whispering back on the boat, Lu Liangsheng and the Taoist who left were walking on the river bank, and they could see the Wangjiazhuangzi not far away. At this time, the villagers were cleaning up the day's farm work and washing their hands and feet in the creek beside the field. go home.

"Sometimes it's good to think about this kind of life. You work at sunrise and rest at sunset."

Hearing the scholar's emotion, the Taoist shook his head with a piece of dog's tail grass in his mouth, and spat the grass not far away with a pooh mouthful.

"That's because you have experienced a lot. If they were them, they would be envious of you and me."

Lu Liangsheng smiled, looked away, patted the head of the donkey that was biting the reed pole, let it follow closely, put his hands behind his back, and walked forward side by side with the Taoist.

".…..maybe."

The evening breeze was gentle, and a few birds chirping passed overhead.

The Taoist was quick-eyed, picked up a few stones and swished them a few times, knocked down the birds that flew past, wiped his hand on the Taoist robe and ran over, raised it and waved it at the scholar, laughing.

"Dinner is settled."

After a few miles of Wangjiazhuangzi, the two lit up a bonfire by the roadside and cooked a pot of meat porridge. Taoist Toad came out of the cubicle holding a small bowl of ice cream cheese, glanced into the pot, and threw the small bowl away. Sitting cross-legged by the pot, seeing the silent apprentice, he could probably guess what he was thinking.

"When you arrive in Chen Chao's capital, do you want to avenge your mentor?"

This sentence attracted the Taoist who was plucking hair and belly to look at it.

Lu Liangsheng stretched out the dead branches and picked them from the fire, watched a few sparks rising, and fell silent for a while. In the light of the fire, he thought for a while, and threw the dead branches into the fire.

There was no fluctuation in tone, as if talking about a simple matter.

"Don't worry, find the remains of your mentor first, and bury him in Qixia Mountain according to his last wish, and then talk about Emperor Nanchen."

Daoist Toad, who was licking a cherry, smacked his lips, threw the cherry into the small bowl, hugged his fins, looked dignified and serious, and nodded.

"Well, there is also a centipede spirit in the palace who cultivates with dragon energy. Although Liangsheng has entered the golden core state, to deal with him, you must first have the magic weapon or ability to restrain it from killing its Sanskrit sounds."

Standing up, he put the flippers behind his back again, took two steps swaying, and looked at the sky full of stars.

"If you're a master at your peak, why be afraid of a little monster..."

Seeing that no one responded to his words, he hurriedly turned his head, Taoist and Lu Liangsheng picked up the bowls and ate the food, and even Hong Lian sucked the essence of the food, but the toad eyes stared suddenly, rushed over, took it The bowl that belonged to him was raised above his head.

"Liangsheng, serve me a bowl quickly!"

There was a sound of chopsticks hitting the bottom, Taoist Toad chewed and swallowed the bird meat wrapped in his mouth, and then he leaned back comfortably, showing his bulging white belly.

hiccup.

With a long sigh: "Shu Tan..."

After resting for a while, they cleaned up the bowls, chopsticks, and small pots, and the two of them set out on the road again. The sky was completely dark, and in the distance, the lights of the city at the end of the official road could be seen over the city wall.

ding ding ding...

The sound of the bell wafted in the night wind, and the soldiers guarding the city yawned. A sudden chill hit the back of their necks. They all shuddered, and felt their eyes dazzle vaguely, as if a vague figure emerged from the closed city. The door came in, but apart from a few colleagues and the sound of patrolling footsteps on the city wall, there was no other abnormality.

"Strange, are we all dazzled?"

"It can't be a ghost... Bah, Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wuji."

"Your mother has two sons, so you're still childish!"

The wind blew across the street, rolling up a few fallen leaves on the ground, and the tinkling of bells rang through the long street, and on the empty street, there was the sound of clappers.

"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful with fire..."

In the mist, the watchman suddenly stopped talking, looked at the middle of the street, and gradually showed the silhouette of two people and a donkey, so scared that he hurried to the alley next to him, thinking it was a ghost, covering his mouth and keeping his breath shut, not daring to make any noise, Watching helplessly, the other party is two or three feet away in a flash, and disappears at the end within two breaths.

Lu Liangsheng didn't know that he was frightening a watchman. He walked through several streets and came to Baiguanfushe Street. On both sides of this avenue are the places where the officials' houses in the capital are concentrated. Red lanterns are hung under the eaves. Outside the gate of the mansion with the word 'Min' written on it, the two stopped together.

"I'm going to see Min Shangshu, you and the old donkey are waiting for me outside."

Pressing the bamboo hat, Lu Liangsheng said in a low voice, then stepped on the stone steps, walked to the red lacquered gate, knocked on the copper ring on the door, and after a while, the doorman's footsteps sounded inside, opening a gap, and asked: "Who is it? "

Through the gap in the door, what the cloudy eyes saw was the figure wearing a bamboo hat raised his head slightly outside the door, and a familiar face was reflected in the light of the lantern.

"Lu... Mr. Lu?!"

Lu Liangsheng nodded: "I want to see Min Shangshu."

"Master Lu, come in first."

The porter quickly opened the door, invited the scholars outside to come in, and then looked around. Except for a Taoist and a donkey, there was no one else, and then gently closed the door.

"Why is Mr. Lu coming back at this time? You must not be outside on the road. There are officers and soldiers everywhere trying to arrest you."

"I know."

"It's good to know, it's good to know." The concierge didn't forget what the other party was here for, and pointed in the direction of the side courtyard, and whispered: "The master is in the small courtyard where Duke Shu Hua lived. You just go, don't let me go." When other people saw it, there were many people in the mansion, and by the way, there was another person who seemed to be surnamed Zuo."

After finishing speaking, he slowly went back to the porter's hut.

.......

The stone table and wine jug in the small courtyard were tilted, and the wine stains fell to the ground bit by bit, and the old sycamore tree was rustling in the wind.

In the row of rooms on one side, two silhouettes were cut on the window lattice.

"Zuo Qianwei came to my house tonight just to talk about these things?"

"Why not, Duke Shu Hua is gone, and I am afraid that Lord Shang Shu will be so outspoken that he will anger His Majesty and be demoted again."

"Hmph, if that's the case, then this minister won't sit in this position!!"

The lights in the room were warm and yellow, and there was a sudden bang, the wine glass shattered and bounced to the corner, Min Changwen stood up with eyes wide open angrily, walked back and forth in the room, waved his wide sleeves, and clenched his fists.

"I have known Duke Shu Hua for many years, and now Yin and Yang are separated. If His Majesty doesn't feel relieved, he can kill me together. If he doesn't kill me, then I will whisper in his ear every day!!"

On the other side of the round table, it was Zuo Zhengyang with a thin knife on his waist, and he put down the wine glass in his hand.

"Then Master Shangshu is just begging for death."

"A confidant, if we are in adversity, we can naturally die together. If I can wake up Your Majesty before I die, I will be worthy of Duke Shuhua."

He punched the wall with a bang, Min Changwen gritted his teeth and pursed his lips after saying this, he also knew that expectations would be hard to come true after all.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, Zuo Zhengyang, who was sitting over there, saw the moment the oil lamp on the table flickered, his face suddenly tightened, and he got up from the stool to look outside.

"Master Shangshu, don't talk, there are people outside!"

As soon as the words fell.

A familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Min Shangshu, a man from the mountains, Lu Liangsheng asks to see you."

Lu Liangsheng...

Min Changwen was taken aback, then smiled, turned around and opened the door, and saw figures in coir raincoats and bamboo hats standing there with hands clasped under the plane tree.

Inside, Zuo Zhengyang also chased him out, subconsciously grabbing the handle of the knife, the scholar on the opposite side of the line of sight was a little tangled in his heart, he is a felony, and I am a newcomer to the palace, and I have the duty to apprehend him, but if I don’t Taking the other party is another insult.

...how to do this?

Over there, Min Changwen, who used to support the scholar's hands, didn't think too much. He looked at Lu Liangsheng carefully for a while, and sighed in relief.

"Seeing that Liangsheng is safe, I feel at ease. Come!"

He reached out to hold Lu Liangsheng's wrist, and pulled him into the room quickly. There was a shrine in the middle of the wall, and in the shrine was Wang Shuhua's spiritual tablet.

"Liangsheng, burn incense for your benefactor." Min Changwen handed over three sticks of incense.

"Ah."

Lu Liangsheng took it, and stroked the three incense sticks with his fingertips, sparks lit up, and the incense was lingering around. Worship respectfully to the spiritual tablet with the name of the mentor written on it, and insert the incense burner.

Then, he looked at the spiritual position in silence for a while before speaking.

"Min Shangshu, I want to ask you, where is my mentor buried?"

"This….."

Min Changwen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Lu Liangsheng would ask about this when he came back, but he didn't hide it.

"It's just at Qiaotougang in the north of the outskirts of the city...everyone who has been executed by the law will be buried there."

Lu Liangsheng stared at the spiritual seat, and squeezed out words word by word.

"Mass Burial Mound?!"

At the door, Zuo Zhengyang roughly guessed what the other party was going to do, and reached out to grab the shoulder of the figure in front of him.

"Liangsheng, don't act recklessly, His Majesty has ordered you not to relocate Duke Shu Hua's grave without permission!"

The lights in the room suddenly fell down and almost went out. In a flash of light and darkness, Zuo Zhengyang who rushed over slammed, as if he was hit by something, he stumbled back and hit the wall.
