In the days when I was forced to become a Feng Shui master

"You—you are talking nonsense." Wu Shilang said viciously: "Mr. Yu, do you know what crime should be for killing an official of the court?"

"Master Wu, be careful." Liu Shilang clarified the chariots and horses: "Mr. Yu is a high-ranking disciple of the state teacher, how could he talk nonsense at such a critical juncture? Since Mr. Yu said so, there is always a reason for him-Mr. Yu's ability, Even the Holy Majesty praised him once or twice! The Holy Majesty pointed Mr. Yu to the residence of the Duke of Zhen, but within a day, he heard that Miss Zhen was recovering from her illness. Master said that your horoscope is suitable for offering sacrifices to the heavens, so take personal revenge!"

Yu Ning smiled lightly and said: "It's okay, Mr. Wu doesn't know what's going on, so I really can't blame him--this proposal, I wonder if Mr. Wu can make a decision? Is it to sacrifice the small self to fulfill the big self, or is it nostalgic for the world of mortals, unwilling to let go? Of course Yes, Master Wu chose the latter, there is nothing wrong with it, there is great fear between life and death, fear of death, it is not shameful to say it."

"Mr. Yu means that if I am willing to sacrifice my life for the Qing Dynasty, this monstrous flood will stop abruptly?" Wu Shilang said speculatively: "If not, what will happen to Mr. Yu?"

"Master Wu is serious. I said just now that I have little knowledge. Even if Master Wu does not hesitate to sacrifice his own body to sacrifice to the heavens, at most he can only maintain peace for two years." Yu Ning shook his head and said: " But two years is enough for Qing Dynasty to recuperate, repair the embankments, and resist the next round of floods...Master Wu, do you think so?"

There was a little pity on Yu Ning's face, he was clearly looking at him head-on, but there was a hint of aloofness on his face.He revealed the same message from head to toe: Are you the apprentice of the national teacher or am I?I said yes, so why do you say no?

"..." Wu Shilang fell silent, the supervisor looked at Wu Shilang, then at Yu Ning, and smoothed things over: "Mr. Your Excellency is...Master Wu is also the pillar of the country, now that Mr. Zhou is missing, it is up to Mr. Wu and Mr. Liu to guard the camp."

"What does Master Wu mean?"

"...Hmph, you are so powerless." Wu Shilang snorted coldly with disdain, got up and left in a huff.

"Master Wu!" Liu Shilang wanted to stop him, but Wu Shilang left without hearing anything.Liu Shilang sighed, cupped his hands to Yu Ning and said: "Wu Zhiyuan... Mr. Yu, you have to be more careful, I don't know which faction he belongs to, but he came up with such a bad idea. This is to blame you. ah……"

"I know." Yu Ning frowned slightly, and suddenly began to think about the possibility of offering sacrifices to heaven.

Although Gu Guoshi asked him to settle the matter calmly, accidents always come too fast. His performance in order to cross the waterway before can not be called a trick, but after all, there are some disaster victims on the other side , if it really wants to spread the word, it is estimated that not many people are willing to believe it.

He couldn't hide the fact that he came to look for Zhou Shilang, but he didn't think about how to hide it at first, and he came out at night to show it to someone who cared, just for fun.

Zhou Shilang was swept away by the flood. To put it bluntly, even a person with excellent water skills was swept away by the flood. The probability of surviving is not very high, let alone Mr. Zhou looks so thin and gentle.

If he really went to hold a sacrifice to heaven, unless he didn't want to die and went to fight again, and forced to blow up a waterway, what's the use?If there are other methods... Feng Shui must also comply with the basic law. The current flood is caused by the warm spring and the water from melting snow pouring into the river. He can't change the Feng Shui of the whole continent, so that the temperature will drop so that the snow will no longer melt, right?

If the snow does not melt and the temperature drops, what about spring plowing?What do farmers in the whole country eat in autumn?How to survive another winter?If the temperature of the whole country is raised, then who knows where the icebergs and snow mountains will melt again, maybe the whole country will be flooded.

What's more, he can't do this step.

Seeing Yu Ning's pensive face, Liu Shilang shook his hand holding the teacup, "Mr. Yu... this flood is ruthless, you must not be provoked by that Wu Zhiyuan, not on the embankment! Even if Wu Zhiyuan agreed to die Xiangji, you can't go either!"

"I know, Lord Liu, don't worry." When Yu Ning said this, he suddenly smiled sideways: "I was the one who bluffed him just now, what kind of zodiac coincidence, serving the world, I just talked nonsense, Master Liu doesn't really believe it?"

"...Ah?" Master Liu looked at Yu Ning, slapped his thigh, and said with a wry smile: "I think you've spoken so convincingly, and you mentioned the masters of the kingdoms, it's really a bit of a move—to tell you the truth, Mr. Yu , I was still sighing in my heart just now, why is this person who is compatible with Chinese characters not me? If it were me, I would definitely not hesitate."

The content supervisor looked at Yu Ning inexplicably, although Yu Ning admitted that it was nonsense just now, but he always thought it was true, but it was not good to mention this time again at this time, so he had to say: "Lord Liu is righteous. "

"Young Master, this place is dangerous, and Mr. Zhou has lost his trace again. Young Master Yu should go back to Lizhuang as soon as possible." The content supervisor said again.

"I'm planning to go back...Since the supervisor said so, I'll stay soon, and I'm leaving now." Yu Ning got up, nodded slightly to the two, and left the tent, Fu Rong followed behind him and asked in a low voice : "Master, can we meet Lizhuang now?"

"It's hard to come out, and I will go back if I say go back. Isn't this young master very shameless?" Yu Ning thought for a while, and ordered: "Leave two people to watch Mr. Zhou's tent, and no one else is allowed to enter. Unfortunately, my lord has died, and when I have definite news, I will find a way to destroy all the manuscripts sent by this young master, and not even a single piece of paper will be left behind."

"The rest get on their horses and go with me to search for Mr. Zhou." Yu Ning just stayed in Zhou Shilang's tent for a while, this tent is the place where Zhou Shilang stays the longest on weekdays, the aura on his body is natural after a long time It will be integrated with the items in the tent, although Zhou Shilang does not carry any magic weapon and has little aura, Yu Ning can still get a glimpse of it.

However, Yu Ning really couldn't find people according to his aura, and he walked with the guards, mainly to prevent him from staying in the camp alone and making some unpredictable moths. Instead of doing this, it's better to leave directly.

After all, if you don't work, you won't die.

This is to be responsible to himself and to those under him who protect him overtly and secretly.

***

Tianyu Mansion, Lishan.

With a sharp pain in his chest, Zhou Shilang uncontrollably spewed out a stream of muddy water. He coughed a few times and then regained his sanity.Someone helped him up, patted his back trying to calm him down, and shouted, "He's awake—!"

Zhou Shilang raised his hand to stop the opponent's movement. The strength of the opponent's hand is not weak, and if he continues to slap him, he may be angry.He lay prone on one side, and heavily stretched the tip of his tongue toward the mouth of his throat, and then vomited. He didn't feel a little better until he vomited out all the water in his stomach.

The sight in front of him gradually became clearer, and he wanted to speak, but Fang found that his voice was so hoarse that it didn't sound like a human voice, and there was a tearing pain, presumably the throat was hurt by choking water: " This is... where?"

This is a small main room, but it is crowded with many people, most of them are dressed in rags, but all of them are sturdy and strong men, sitting on the floor leaning against the wall.The only place that was slightly vacant was the place where he was lying, and the person who was supporting him just now was a man in a gray gown, he was the only person in the room who was well-dressed.Zhou Shilang bowed his hands to them weakly: "Thank you all the brave men for your help."

He asked again: "This gentleman...cough cough...where is this?"

The man said: "This is Lishan, you were washed down by the water, but you were lucky, you broke a rib, Er Niu and the others rescued you when they were looking for food."

Zhou Shilang nodded his head with difficulty: "Zhou must have a big thank you... Could you please send me back to Liuhe Village, all strong men?"

Liuhe Village was the camp where they were stationed.

"I'm afraid it won't work." The man explained: "You have two broken ribs. There is no doctor in our village, only an old hunter who has been around for a long time. He tied you up a little. If you move at will, you will be broken." Bone piercing into the lungs, it is difficult even for a god..."

Before he finished speaking, a strong man nestled in the corner interrupted: "Military officer, stop being so polite, who doesn't know where Liuhe Village is? We saved him because we are fellow villagers." Come on, who knows that he is from Liuhe Village... I see him, he is either an official or a son of some family, hey! Listen carefully! Now that we have rescued you, you have to ask your family to bring food and money Redeem you back! As a token..."

His eyes glanced at Zhou Shilang maliciously: "Either ears or fingers, you choose one? - toes are also fine."

Zhou Shilang coughed twice again, with a very calm expression, as if he was not afraid of the other party's threats at all: "The situation is urgent, and I can't hide it from you... My surname is Zhou, and my name is Zhiheng. I am a minister of the Ministry of Industry, and I am..."

"Wait." The military adviser interrupted him, with a subtle expression on his face: "Your father is Zhou Yubandit, and your grandfather is Zhou Mingyu?"

"Exactly."

"I don't care what your father and grandfather's name is! In short, you can either give money or die..." The strong man said again, but the military adviser didn't turn his head back, and shouted: "Shut up! This is a descendant of Zhou Shengong's blood! Master Xiao Zhou, the official history of the second cure for the flood! Usually, he didn’t take his brains when he went to the shrine to offer incense?!”

Hearing the words 'Zhou Shengong', the brawny men who were joking among themselves suddenly stopped and looked at Zhou Shilang.Many people got up from the ground and patted their clothes, trying to make themselves look neater.

The military adviser took a step back, straightened his clothes, and bowed his hands to Zhou Shilang: "It turns out that it is Mr. Zhou. I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes. Please don't blame Mr. Zhou... Please Mr. Zhou here!" Rest for a while, and I will send someone to Liuhe Village to summon you."

"...Thank you." Zhou Shilang reached out and rubbed the acupuncture points on the side of his neck, trying to make it less painful when he spoke: "I don't know what to call Mr., but I have something to ask."

"My surname is Gu. There is only one word Yun in my single name. There is no word. Master Xiao Zhou can just call me by my first name."

"Come with ears."

Master Gu leaned over upon hearing the words, and Zhou Shilang said in a low voice: "...I don't have any tokens, but I and my cronies agreed on a secret code at the time. If your people go, don't go directly to the camp, go to the kitchen. A cook named Lao Wang told him that he wanted to eat boiled cabbage... I don’t know when it is now, but at that time, there was a wave rolling over me on the embankment, and I was pushed down by someone.”

"The camp is no longer safe. Once I die, it will take at least a month for the court to hear the news and send the official history. Now the embankment can't hold up for a month...I can't die, at least not yet, Mr. Gu ,Do you get me?"

"It's best not to spread the fact that I was saved by you. The less people know, the better... Otherwise, this place will not be safe."

"I understand, Master Xiao Zhou, don't worry." Gu Junshi's eyes moved slightly: "Lishan is our lair, if you want to touch you, you have to step over our dozens of brothers first."

Zhou Shilang let out a long breath, he was already at the end of his strength, now that he got the promise, he passed out again.

Seeing him pass out, the strong men next to him wiped their hands on the hem of their clothes, and asked cautiously: "Is this really... a descendant of Zhou Shengong?"

Zhou Shengong's full name is Zhou Mingyu, and he is Zhou Shilang's grandfather. Twenty years ago, the Yellow River burst its embankment, and the entire Tianyu Mansion was almost submerged. Compared with this time, Zhou Shengong led the soldiers He came to Tianyu Mansion to rectify the floods, killed treacherous officials, slaughtered evil officials, opened warehouses to release grain, and repaired river embankments with one hand. He spent a lot of effort to rectify Tianyu Mansion, and Tianyu Mansion established a new plan for him. But in the second year, Zhou Shengong passed away due to the pain left by the embankment repair.

But the embankment left by Zhou Shengong lasted for ten years, and the embankment broke again after ten years. At this time, it was Zhou Shengong's son, the father of Xiao Zhou's servant, Zhou Yubandit, and that was it. Year after year passed, Zhou Yubandit also died in the flood control last year, and this year is his son Zhou Shilang.

"There's nothing wrong." Master Gu nodded and said, "From now on, you all keep your mouths shut about the fact that we saved Master Xiao Zhou... Don't let me know that you spread the matter, just let me know." You saved an ordinary person! Do you know! Er Niu, come with me!—Old Qi, please show Master Xiao Zhou again.”

"Hey, OK." An old Orion nodded, stepped forward and tore off the thick gauze wrapped just now, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and sprinkled the medicine powder on Zhou Shilang's wound again—— This medicinal powder was obviously much better than the previous ones, as soon as the medicinal powder met the wound on Zhou Shilang's body, it sealed the wound.

While re-bandaging Zhou Shilang, the old Orion muttered: "I just said, how can such a thin-skinned and tender son wear linen clothes... It turns out that it is Mr. Zhou, Zhou Shengong, you are old and spirited, but please forgive me." This, it's really a sin... Those who don't know it can't be blamed, this old man's precious treasures are all used by Master Xiao Zhou..."

Gu Junshi took Er Niu outside and emphasized the matter to him several times before telling him to go to Liuhe Village.Er Niu is the best swimmer among them, and he is also good at sailing boats. He planned to ask Er Niu to go to Liuhe Village to dive underwater, find someone secretly to inform him, and then quietly return along the current.

This trip can save a lot of time. Mr. Zhou's injury is serious, and it is impossible to delay it. The sooner he can be treated, the better.

Someone shouted at the entrance of the village: "The boss is back—!"

Junshi Gu looked relieved, and walked over quickly. A group of people walked in from the entrance of the stockade. A dozen burly men surrounded a handsome young man. Everyone was covered in mud. As soon as he got the horse belly, he walked over and said to him: "Old Gu, according to today's news, there is another opening in Liuhe Village. We are afraid that we will continue to move north."

"This year's flood is too wrong." Junshi Gu nodded and waved: "Come with me, I have something to say."

"Coincidentally, I also have something to tell you!" The head of the family waved his hand and said loudly, "Come in!"

Another group of people poured in outside, and the leader was actually Chen Heguang.Chen Heguang came on horseback, dressed in brocade clothes and jade belts, which attracted people's attention very much, the head of the family said: "This is my benefactor, I almost won't be able to come back this time - those bastard bastards actually have two Divide up."

"This is...?" Junshi Gu squinted his eyes, and before the person approached, he said in a low voice: "You don't want to die? When is it now, do you still dare to be this kind of person who knows it's not easy at first glance?" Contact?!"

"Hey, you can't say that." The head of the family said nonchalantly: "Old Gu, you are too particular. Although Brother Chen comes from a wealthy family, his character is really good! Not that kind of person..."

Chen Heguang didn't step forward, and got off his horse with a calm expression, and stood there, waiting for the head to pick him up.The military adviser and the head of the family said a few more words, and brought people forward: "Brother Chen, this is my brother and the military adviser of our village. His surname is Gu. If you like, just call him 'Mr. Gu'. If you don't Call him 'military division' if you like."

"I've met Mr. Gu." Chen Heguang cupped his hands, and then said, "Is there any water? This muddy body makes me feel uncomfortable. Can you give me a place to take a bath?"

"Success! Let's go! Just behind!"

***

It was night, Chen Heguang opened his eyes vigilantly.

His guards were all squatting in twos and threes in the corner to take a rest. At this moment, they all woke up, gestured a few gestures to their companions, and then quietly and quickly went to the back of the wall to guard in case someone broke into the door. .

Chen Heguang looked at the figure holding a sharp weapon outside the window, and asked in a low voice, "Which side is it from?"

One person replied in a low voice, "It's officers and soldiers."

"Aiming at the young master?"

"Not like."

"Look again."

Chen Heguang shook his head and said, "Get out."

"Yes!" All the guards responded in unison, the leader kicked the door open and killed him without saying a word.The door was broken so unexpectedly that two officers and soldiers were crushed under the door. They struggled to get up, and when they saw Chen Heguang surrounded by all the guards, they shouted: "Master Chen?"

With this shout, the scene fell silent, and the little commander behind the officers and soldiers rode on a horse and glanced suspiciously at Chen Heguang: "Zhen Guo Gongfu, Young Master Chen?"

Being recognized, Chen Heguang didn't deny it: "It's me, who are you?"

"Coincidentally." A trace of excitement flashed in the eyes of the little commander: "Come here——Chen Heguang, the Duke of Zhen Guo, and the bandits, detain Master Zhou, kill him, and rescue Master Zhou—! If Chen Heguang and the bandit leader can be captured alive , bounty ten taels! Record second-class merit!"

Second-class merit can make an ordinary soldier become a commander!Twelve taels of gold is enough for my family to live a lifetime of stability and prosperity!

There was an uproar on the field, and the officers and soldiers fought harder, except for besieging and killing the big bosses, they came to take the heads of Chen Heguang.There were about a hundred soldiers in this team, they were well-trained, and they were not at a disadvantage against these dozens of bandits. Even the guards of the Yasukuni Mansion joined, and they didn't have much chance of winning.

"—Master! Go away!" Chen Heguang also wanted to end the fight, but was grabbed by the guards beside him and dragged him to the outside. As soon as he retreated, the guards stopped him, and the guards who surrounded him would kill him. Soldiers firmly blocked.

"Chasing—!" The little commander roared: "Promotion and fortune are right in front of you! Come on, brothers!"

Chen Heguang knew very well that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. He and the head of the family also had plans, and they couldn't do anything when they saw things, so they immediately said: "Take those who can walk together, and this village is gone!"

"Yes." The guards responded, and more than a dozen people formed a crane wing array, blocking all the soldiers' swords and swords in front of them like a bunch of sharp knives, while gathering the twenty or so survivors in the village to fight outside. Fortunately, the soldiers were all brought from Chang'an Mansion, and they didn't know the way, seeing them fleeing into the forest, they dared not chase them any further.

Chen Heguang led the people to a hidden mountain valley, and only the people in the bandit village knew the way. The people stopped, panting heavily.The head of the family did not escape, Gu Junshi and Ling, an old man, supported a man whose head and face were covered with a robe, and said to Chen Heguang: "Master Chen, why did the commander want to kill you today?"

"It's more complicated, and I won't be able to tell for a while." Chen Heguang narrowed his eyes: "This is...Master Zhou?"

Zhou Shilang tore off his robe, he was seriously injured, two ribs were broken, he was simply dragged away, even so, there was still severe pain between his chest and abdomen as if being burned by fire.He wiped the cold sweat off his face: "Master Chen, Mr. Zhou is polite."

Chen Heguang took a look at Zhou Shilang and knew that he was seriously injured, so he ordered Gu Junshi and the others to lay Zhou Shilang down on his back: "How did Mr. Zhou make himself so virtuous?"

Mr. Zhou sneered and said, "Some people don't want to make this Tianyu Mansion peaceful, so they naturally want to kill Zhou...Why did they kill Young Master Chen?"

"Perhaps I got Mr. Zhou involved." Chen Heguang pondered for a moment, then answered truthfully: "If someone wants to kill Mr. Chen, why should Mr. Zhou disappear first?"

The two looked at each other, and suddenly someone said: "Are you still thinking about this at this time?"

The sound was strange, the mountain was flat and there were no dense trees, but there were more than a dozen people standing not far away, and no one found out when they came and how long they stood here.

Gu Junshi's expression changed drastically: "Who are you?!"

The leader is naturally Yu Ning, Yu Ning's feet are not dusty, and he wears a light robe. He looks particularly clean and tidy among the disgraced bandits and the guards of the Zhen Guogong's mansion, as if a fairy came on the moon.

The night wind hunted, and the clothes fluttered, Yu Ning stretched out his hand to gather the broken hair behind his ears, looked at the group of people in a panic with a smile, and said, "Master Zhou, you are really easy for me to find."
