Great Sui Guoshi

The old man looked at the scholar in front of him, turned his head to look at the four who followed him, as well as an old donkey and a beautiful girl sitting on the donkey's back, glared at them a little annoyed, got up and lifted the firewood to his back , pushed his buttocks up, carried it back up again, waved to Lu Liangsheng and his party, and said while walking back.

"You are really brave. You ran around in the deep mountains and old forests, and you brought a girl with you. You are not afraid of harming others. You are also lucky. You didn't encounter any wolves, tigers and leopards. Follow up quickly and follow the little brother."

The old man wears straw sandals and walks the rugged mountain roads all year round. Every step is very steady. The nagging first scolds a few people, and then thinks about this place. Most mountain people and farmers rarely leave their lives. On a three-acre land, most people listened to the traveling merchants from outside talking about the outside world. The old man's words were not rich, but he was able to give a general idea of ​​the situation.

"This is Ningzhou... I don't know where Ningzhou is. Later, I heard that there was a lot of chaos outside, and there were wars everywhere. Then, Ningzhou disappeared, and I haven't seen anyone from the government for a long time. Now There are a lot of other tribes here, don't run around if you have nothing to do... this way!"

Lu Liangsheng nodded, followed the old man, listened to the other person's words, frowned and thought about where Ningzhou was, and Wang Feng who followed behind suddenly said softly: "National Teacher, Ningzhou is the area of ​​Nanzhong, Yongchang County and Yunnan Province. county."

After saying this, the scholar remembered that since the chaos in the Central Plains, he seemed to have given up here completely. No wonder he couldn’t remember where Ningzhou was for a while, but Lu Liangsheng did remember that there should be Xiezhou here. .

"National teacher, Xiezhou also has it, but it's still in the north, far away from here."

"The four of you are familiar with the states and counties."

Lu Liangsheng couldn't help laughing, and turned his gaze to the four people walking behind the old donkey. Seeing the national teacher looking over, Wang Feng, Ma Liu, Zhang Ti, and Zhao Tang quickly grinned.

"The national teacher sees what I am waiting for. I have traveled too much. Naturally, I often look at the pictures and write them down..."

At this time, the old man leading the way suddenly made a voice.

"Everyone, we're out of the woods, the stockade is in front of us, go and have some food..."

The old man turned around with a smile, suddenly a gust of wind blew across his face, and the dimples on his face moved when the wind stopped. When the wind stopped, he opened his eyes, only a few leaves fluttered across his field of vision, where there were no scholars, donkey.

"Ouch, I met a monster!!"

The old man was startled, his legs became weak from fright, and then he recalled the scholar he met in the woods, his clothes were as clean as new, he didn't look like a lost person, he pinched his thigh to wake himself up, and walked towards the empty woods again. It's clasping fists and bowing.

After a while, he turned around after carrying the firewood and ran towards the stockade. What he didn't realize was that it was a bit strenuous to carry the firewood just now, but when he ran now, his face was not flushed and he was out of breath, and his whole body was full of energy.

As soon as he returned to the village, he told the people in the village about the strange things he encountered while cutting firewood, but no one believed him...

.......

"Liangsheng, why didn't you go to that village just now, maybe you can have a meal, but it's been a long time since I've had rice as a teacher."

The sun shines on the dirt road on the mountainside from the top of the mountain in the west, and the birds flap their wings and fly over the heads of the group of people, and then fall to the treetops and sing crisply.

Walking under the treetops extending to the mountain road, Lu Liangsheng listened to the singing of birds in the forest, turned his head and smiled at Taoist Toad, who was sitting on the donkey's head and embracing his fins, and said with a smile: "Master, the mountains are barren, and there are so many of us, so there is no one." If you have money, you can’t lose it to others, and if you’ve already arrived here, isn’t Master afraid that you won’t be able to eat?”

Taoist Toad was stunned for a moment, then snorted, turned his head away, and turned to the direction.

"As a teacher, just say a few words, do you think you are always confused as a teacher?"

The four people behind them didn't care about a meal or two, at least they had already returned to the territory of the Sui Dynasty, and they were very excited. The thing about the last three days and three nights, not to mention the relationship with the national teacher, the relationship is not ordinary, then it may be possible to go to the court, get a beautiful wife and concubine, and reach the pinnacle that ordinary people can hardly reach in a lifetime ah.

The sky was getting dark, Lu Liangsheng and his party inquired about the nearby cities along the way, and finally found a town by groping the night road. In the territory of the Sui Dynasty, you can appreciate the scenery here, look at the mountains and rivers, especially the local bitter tea, the people who are used to drinking light tea, immediately spit out the tea in their mouths, and then went to the big lake named Erhai, The four scholars stood on the boulder to recite poems and compose Fu, while Lu Liangsheng set up an easel, taking advantage of the rising sun to reflect a shimmering scenery, and drew a picture of Erhai Lake in ink.

When you are thirsty, you lean over and take a sip of the lake water. When you are hungry, you catch fish and pick fruits, and stroll all the way in Xinting, but you are free and easy.

The summer heat is gradually fading, and the mountains are green and yellow in autumn.

I have seen Yunnan County, which once belonged to the various dynasties of the Central Plains, the yamen are dilapidated, and most of the city is mixed with Nanman and Han people, and the maintenance of law and order is also a local native.

'It seems that Suian's friend wants to establish a country here, it is not unreasonable. '

Looking at the fairly orderly street, Lu Liangsheng was about to leave with his old donkey, when he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the tea shop on the street, and vaguely heard some words, which made him frown slightly.

"I heard that Shelong is back and lobbying people of all ethnic groups."

"Is he still thinking about establishing a country?"

"The area of ​​Wuman Mengshi is very powerful, and there is no Han government here, so why dare not?"

"But I heard that he summoned people everywhere, not as if he wanted to establish a country, but as if he wanted to fight a war..."

"Don't talk about it, let me tell you, I know about it! I heard that a friend of his was trapped on the side of the Canglan River, and he came back to rescue the soldiers..."

Sheron?

Didn't he always accompany Ann?

Could it be that Suian is the one who needs to be saved...

Lu Liangsheng quickly let go of the rein, and stepped into the tea shop. The tea guest who was talking felt his eyes darken. When he raised his face, he saw a scholar standing in front of him.

"My son, what are you going to do?"

"Please also tell Sheron where she is now!"

Soon after.

Lu Liangsheng came out, led the old donkey and turned around outside the city, in the opposite direction to Xiezhou where he was going, and went out of the city gate. Taoist Ha climbed on the back of the donkey and looked at the disciples in front of him.

"Liangsheng, I seem to be going in the wrong direction, sir? Xiezhou is in the north, so this is going to the east."

"It's okay Master, it's not a big problem."

Lu Liangsheng smiled, turned his face back, and his smile gradually cooled down.

Catch my disciple...

Canglan Sword Sect.

With a flick of the sleeves, there was a strong wind, and the branches and leaves swayed wildly, and the leaves were rolled up. In the blink of an eye, the steps of the step forward disappeared on the road together with the figures of everyone.

Chapter 687 Six Edicts of the Southern Kingdom

In Ningzhou and Yunnan County, many leaders of the nearby Wuman tribe gathered, some of them were still on the way, and they all rushed to Dongzhao Village. It is airtight, and there are dozens of bunker watchtowers outside, monitoring everything around it from a distance.

The gate of the village extends straight in front of the stone road, and the main building stands on a gentle slope. There are noisy voices inside, and the banquets on both sides are intertwined. Others whispered to each other and glanced at the silent figure holding the wine at the main seat from time to time.

"Before you came, I heard from High Priest Shelong that he was saving a Han Chinese and was his friend."

"...I, the Wuman, have always treated my friends like this. Lang Qiong Zhao is willing to help."

"Who wouldn't want to come here?!"

"I just don't know if I can catch up."

Amidst the noisy talking and drinking, the whispering people raised their heads and looked at the leader. Shelong was holding the drink and frowned tightly. When he realized that there was someone in sight, he raised the hero knot wrapped with the blue cloth handkerchief, and his face was full of smiles. Look dignified and solemn.

He put the drink in his hand on the table lightly, dragged his cloak to stand up, glanced at the drinking orders below, and summoned his subordinates beside him.

"Have all the edicts come?"

The subordinates of the Ministry lowered their heads to calculate, raised their hands to press their chests, and quickly replied: "Reporting to the high priest, four edicts have come, and one more edict should still be on the way."

Shelong nodded and turned his eyes to the hall. The Sizhao leaders on both sides also stopped talking and drinking. Some people walked in the middle and wanted to speak, but he raised his hand to stop him.

"I've been waiting for half a month, and it's almost time for an edict." Shelong took the pottery bowl on the table and passed it to the side, filled it with his subordinates, and walked over with his cape dragging.

The person who was interrupted stepped aside, watched the high priest approach, and punched his shoulder with his fist.

"High Priest, tell me when to send troops, I have not many people, but they dare to fight and kill!"

Shelong hummed, glanced across the headman's face, looked at the other three headmen, walked to the middle, raised his drink, and spoke forcefully.

"The six imperial edicts of my Southern Kingdom have always been united in the same spirit, and one damages the other. Today, a brother from the Sui Dynasty in Meng Shezhao is in trouble. You are invited to come here. Shelong is very grateful!"

As he spoke, he held up the wine with both hands, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, lit the bottom of the bowl towards them, and stretched out his hand to wipe off the wine stains from his thick beard.

"The Sui people lived and died together with me, suffering together from north to south. I am a man from the southern country living in a wilderness, but I also know the righteousness and friendship, how can I see death and refuse to help."

"Well said!" Someone stood up during the banquet, picked up the wine and drank it up, and smashed the pottery bowl to pieces with a bang: "Bing (teng, dan) Zhao, I am willing to go with the high priest!"

"Count the Yue Analysis Edict!"

"That Sui man is a friend of the high priest, that is, a friend of Shi Langzhao! Let's go together!"

At this time, a lot of soldiers from the Sizhao tribe gathered in front of the main building, and they were also related by marriage. When they got together, they didn't distinguish between each other. When they heard the opinions of the leaders inside, they pulled out the blades at their waists and raised them above their heads, and shouted.

The person standing at the end stood on tiptoe and shouted a few times, and when he stood back again, he turned his head, and from the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a faint figure coming from the gate of the village in the distance.

Hastily opened his mouth and shouted: "Who?!"

The sudden sound made the nearby clan soldiers stop shouting instantly, even Shelong who was talking with the leaders of the four clans in the main building heard the sound, and turned their heads to look outside together.

Amidst the soft sounds of drawing swords and touching swords, the clan soldiers who had been standing outside the building suddenly moved out of the way, and saw a scholar striding forward with his hands behind his back. There were slight white marks, which made the leader Shi Langzhao in the hall step forward and shout: "Scholar from the Sui Dynasty, stop!"

The other three drew their weapons ferociously, and followed them forward, with ferocious expressions on their faces. As long as the scholar outside dared to step into the threshold, they would rush to chop him into pieces.

However, the scholar who came over stepped in, and the four of them were furious immediately, grabbing their knives and rushed forward. The next moment, there was a sudden "bang" sound of the pottery bowl breaking, and the shattered bowl pieces jingled to the four sides. people's feet.

The four headmen turned their heads sideways, and the high priest standing in the middle suddenly had surprise on his solemn expression, raised his hands and imitated the etiquette of the Han people, and bowed down.

"Shelong, pay homage to the national teacher!"

For a moment, the four heads were stunned, holding the knife in their hands at a loss, "High Priest, what are you doing?"

"Yes, High Priest, don't speak Chinese, we don't understand!"

Over there, Lu Liangsheng who came in raised his hand to let him stand up, and the latter straightened up and explained to the Sizhao leaders on both sides.

"This is Sui Guoshi, my friend's master!"

After finishing speaking, he hastily made a gesture of invitation, invited Lu Liangsheng to sit down, and clapped his hands to call for more wine, "Take out the spring wine from the cellar!"

"Need not!"

Lu Liangsheng raised his hand to interrupt, "My teacher heard what you said just now, thank you for Suian." He raised his sleeves and sat down next to Shelong.

"However, you don't have to go, just tell me how Suian got into trouble, why didn't you send a message?"

The scholar spoke Chinese, and only Shelong in the hall could understand it. He looked at his friend's master in front of him, with a little shame on his face, and turned his face away.

"Reporting to the national teacher, Suian is a bit wronged about this matter."

Afterwards, he told Lu Liangsheng the ins and outs of the matter. A few months ago, he and Suian went here as usual. Due to the reason of the journey, they first arrived in Gongzhou, where the mountains were steep and steep. They are all cultivators, such a rugged mountain road is naturally not difficult, Li Suian is also clever and weird, every time he is the first to rush up the mountain, and when he is approaching the Canglan River, he turns over a mountain, but breaks into a pool, and sees a girl Taking a bath in the pool.

It caused the girl to scream in surprise and attracted several young people. Li Suian explained to them, but how could this misunderstanding be explained clearly? In the end, a fight broke out, and those people ran back with the girl. After chasing and jointly attacking, Suian let him escape first, but Shelong felt that it was wrong to run away, so he went back the same way. At that time, Li Suian was already captured by the other party, and he heard that these people were from the Canglan Sword Sect through the voodoo technique. .

I am definitely not an opponent by myself, maybe I will be captured by then, and I am afraid that no one will really know about it.

It was too far to go north to Chang'an to ask for help, so I returned to Ningzhou to gather the tribe and prepare to go to the rescue. It took another half a month to come and go.

After listening to the general ins and outs, Lu Liangsheng frowned, and asked again: "Why not summon?"

"National teacher, at that time, Suian also thought about sending a message, but the national teacher did not respond."

I didn't respond?

Lu Liangsheng subconsciously reached out to touch the jade pendant on his waist, but found nothing. Then he remembered that when he was fighting with the four generals of the Demon family on the sea, he was taken to the other side of the sea by a monkey while his magic form exploded. In chaos, fell into the sea.

Forget it, since we're back, let's settle the matter of Sui'an first, and then go to the East China Sea to send the Merman back.

After sorting out his train of thought and knowing the cause and effect, Lu Liangsheng stopped staying, and She Long, who was sitting beside him, hurriedly got up to follow.

"National teacher, Shelong knows where it is!"

As he spoke, he said to the head of Sizhao, 'You don't have to go. Then he quickly followed the figure in front of him and walked out of Dazhai.

outside.

The four scholars waiting beside the old donkey squatted on the ground in a circle, paddling around with branches, and looked up at the stockade in front of them from time to time.

"Why hasn't the national teacher come out yet?"

"What are you worried about, who here dares to move the national teacher."

"That's right, even if you want to move such a person as the national teacher, you need that strength... By the way, when you return to Chang'an, tell me, based on our relationship with the national teacher, will your majesty give us a boost?" The official ranks?"

"That's natural, there will be women...hehe."

"Last time black..."

"Don't mention it, as soon as I talk about it, my brother thinks of those two huge black women, and I'm still a little out of breath."

While talking, the old donkey next to him suddenly started running, and the four raised their heads, a shadow blocked their sight, they got up quickly, and shouted respectfully.

"National Division!"

Lu Liangsheng took the reins, led the old donkey to a certain direction, raised his hand and snapped his fingers at them, "Let's go."

Chapter 688 Canglan Mountain

"Liangsheng, do you know where you are as the grandson of your master and disciple?"

"I already know."
