Peach

Luo Yunsheng left from Mount Lu and wandered eastward all the way.With the money given by the king of Wan, he bought a donkey and bought a jug of good wine, and drank while walking on the official road.

On both sides of the official road, there are fields.Now is a good time to grow vegetables, the scorching sun shines on the green vegetable leaves, full of hope for harvest.Going forward, there is the Xunyang Boundary Monument. After passing the Boundary Monument, it will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Lushan School.The green vegetable seedlings came to an abrupt stop near the boundary marker.

It's as if someone drew a line on the vast land. On one side of the line is the lush and fresh green, which spreads to the sky; on the other side is the cracked and dry land and scattered and lonely graves. Hovering over the field, wailing and calling.

A place without sect rule is no different from a land without a master.No one wants to farm here, because after hard work, they will be snatched away by idlers.The royal family is weak, the morals of the world are collapsing, and the laws and regulations are useless.

Luo Yunsheng grabbed the donkey, stood at the boundary monument and looked at it for a long time, picked up a pen, and wrote word by word on the monument: [The green field thins out, the rolling yellow sand marks.One line splits the world, don't touch the outside world.Who says grass and trees are clumsy and doesn't understand people in the world.The sound of jackdaws roosting in trees startles the weed grave. ] Putting down the last stroke heavily, Luo Yunsheng stared at the boundary marker for a long time, then raised his head and took a big sip of wine.

If things go on like this, Dazhang will perish.

When I was young, I traveled all over the country with a sword and a pen, and what I saw was not only the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, but also the people who were in dire straits and the buildings that were about to collapse.He came from an extraordinary background, read a lot of books since he was a child, and he has the righteousness of the world in his heart, and he always wants to turn the world around by himself.

The teacher who agreed to be the prince, told them about the previous dynasty, the law code, and the governance of the country. It is hoped that an emperor who can save Dazhang can be cultivated.However, it still failed.One or two, they only know how to woo the sect to survive, forgetting the dignity of the royal family and the foundation of governing the country.

"Hahahaha, everyone is drunk and I am sober, why bother! Drink, drink!" Luo Yunsheng laughed loudly, and raised the wine gourd to the donkey who was chewing leaves.

The donkey glanced at him, spat out the not-so-tasty leaf with a bah, lowered its head and pulled a vegetable leaf, chewing vigorously.

One person and one donkey walked slowly, and found a small town to rest before dark.

The town is fairly prosperous, with inns and restaurants.The traders and people from the rivers and lakes who come and go are in a hurry.

The wine gourd was empty, so Luo Yunsheng went to the wine shop to buy wine first.

"Is there Xunyang wine?" Luo Yunsheng asked after handing the wine gourd to the shopkeeper.

"No, there is no Xunyang wine after crossing the boundary of Xunyang." The shopkeeper was a stout woman, and on the table were wooden raisins and a shiny big knife.

"Then it's Dukang Bar." Luo Yunsheng took out a piece of broken silver and threw it over.In the previous dynasty, it was not allowed to use silver in the street, only copper plates were allowed; when Dazhang founded the country, it was also not allowed, but the court’s governance became more and more lax, and people in the rivers and lakes did not understand these things, so silver gradually circulated.

In the wine room, a child stumbled out of the opposite restaurant.The child was thin and weak, holding a steamed bun in his hand and stuffing it into his mouth desperately. Before he could finish eating, he was kicked to the ground by the waiter who chased him out.

"Woooo..." The shop waiter and a strong man guarding the shop kicked and beat the child, who was sobbing and stuffing the remaining steamed buns into his mouth.

A cold sword suddenly pierced in front of him, and the waiter and the strong man quickly dodged.

"Why do you want to beat him?" Luo Yunsheng stopped in front of the children and looked at the two big men coldly.

"Didn't you see him stealing something?" the shop clerk said confidently.

Luo Yunsheng pulled the child up and threw two copper coins to Xiao Er.Xiaoer held the copper plate and weighed it in his hand, looked at Luo Yunsheng with a bookish face, sneered, turned around and entered the shop and ignored him.

When he turned his head, the child had already run away.The woman in the wine shop covered the wine gourd she had bought, and said with drooping eyes: "The world is so chaotic, sir, it's better not to meddle in your own business."

Luo Yunsheng frowned slightly, and subconsciously touched the money bag at his waist, which was empty, "I'll get the wine gourd later." After finishing speaking, he turned around and chased after the child in the direction where he was running away.

After chasing to an alley, he saw two gangsters standing inside, one of them grabbed the thin child, snatched the money bag he had just stolen, and threw him heavily to the ground.

Luo Yunsheng rushed forward, caught the child, and put it aside, "Thank you for your help, the knight. The money bag is mine, please return it to me."

"Hehe, you said it's yours, so it's yours? This is obviously my purse, and it was stolen by this little bastard!" The gangster sneered, pulled out a short knife from his waist, and raised his hand towards Luo Yunsheng stabbed.

Luo Yunsheng drew his sword and firmly blocked the gangster's blade.His swordsmanship is not worth mentioning in the martial arts, but it is more than enough to deal with this kind of little gangster, and he knocks people to the ground in just a few moves.

The gangster glared at him viciously, and suddenly whistled.After the whistle sounded, more than a dozen people suddenly appeared in the courtyards on both sides of the street.

"Who is running wild in our town?" The leader had a scar on his face, and he looked very fierce.A group of people were holding big knives. When they saw Luo Yunsheng, a frail scholar, they smiled contemptuously, and chopped at him without asking.

Luo Yunsheng was startled, these people have their own way of making moves, they are all masters of martial arts, and their martial arts are not low.More than a dozen people swarmed up, and his sword skills that can only be said to be average soon became a bit stretched.

"Hey——" the leader of the scarred man shouted loudly, telling everyone to back off, and he himself jumped up and slashed at his head.

"Bang Dang!" The sound of close combat echoed in the empty street. This move was like a thousand pieces of gold, and Luo Yunsheng was pressed down on one knee by this force, struggling to keep his neck from being cut.

"Hehe, come on, hack him to death!" I thought this man was going to compete with him, but after he suppressed him, this man immediately ordered the younger brother on the side to come up to make up the knife.

The sword in his hand could not be moved, and blood would splatter on the spot if he moved; but if he did not move, a dozen knives would pass through his chest.I have been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, so I am going to be buried here today?

The broadsword reflected the light of the setting sun and shone on his face. Luo Yunsheng closed his eyes, waiting for death.

"Bang Dang Dang!" With a few crisp sounds, the big knife that could have been slashed in front of him was thrown away by an iron hook.Luo Yunsheng opened his eyes, and saw a moon-white shadow flashing in front of his eyes, he slapped the strong man on the chest, making the strong man back again and again, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Seven..." After Luo Yunsheng said a word, it was as if his throat was pinched, and he couldn't make a sound.Because the scene in front of him was so unbelievable, the young man in the moon white wide-sleeved thin shirt was Chen Ziqi whom he had only seen two days ago.

The figure rises and falls, like a swimming dragon, and every move shows the power of heaven.This is... the Dragon Chanting Divine Art!

Chen Ziqi only slapped a palm, Wu Bujian and Tu Buxian pounced on them, fighting with the group of people, and four other men in black followed closely behind, and after a while, they took down a group of gangsters who were not bad at sword skills. Beat all over the floor looking for teeth.

A gray money bag was handed in front of him, and Luo Yunsheng came back to his senses, took it in his hand, and tied it around his waist again.

"Sir, are you injured?" Chen Ziqi bent down to help him up.

Luo Yunsheng saluted lightly, "Thank you, my lord, for saving me."

"This area is not peaceful recently, sir, you have to be more careful." Chen Ziqi reminded him with a gentle and courteous gesture.Because of Suxinzong's affairs, many Jianghu people have stayed here recently, and it is really chaotic.Leaving Xunyang City, which was sheltered by the Lushan faction, danger is everywhere.

Luo Yunsheng nodded, didn't say much, went straight to the wine shop to get the gourd back, looked at Chen Ziqi who followed him step by step, and sighed slowly, "If the prince is here to be the lobbyist of the King of Wan, please go back Wherever Luomou travels, he would rather die among famous mountains and rivers than become an official again."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and took a sip of wine, then wandered towards the inn.

"Mister is wrong, I am not the lobbyist of the second child." Chenzi Qi said indifferently, and looked back at Dan Yi who was standing with his hands behind his back a few steps away.

Luo Yunsheng also saw Dan Yi, and couldn't help but stop, "That one, is His Royal Highness Feng Wang?"

"Exactly." Chen Ziqi smiled slightly.With Dan Yi by his side, why would he need to be Chen Zijian's minion?

Luo Yunsheng carefully examined Chen Ziqi for a moment, "Your Highness is indeed the smartest among all the princes... However, what Your Highness wants is probably the same as that of the King of Wan, and Luo will not obey."

Chen Ziqi didn't stop him, turned around and went to buy roasted chicken wine, and found Luo Yunsheng, who was drunk and dreaming of him, in the yard of the inn, sat on the ground, and had a drink with him.

"Dan Yi doesn't allow me to drink, don't tell him," Chen Ziqi smiled and drank a big glass, his eyes were red from the heat, and he let out a long sigh of relief, "I didn't know the things you taught me before. I understand, just this year, Fan suddenly understood."

Luo Yunsheng's hand holding the wine glass paused, and looked at the wine glass in his hand with drunken eyes, without interjecting.

Chen Ziqi took another sip, and snorted lightly as if crying or laughing, "I saw what you said, the country is in decline, and the people are in dire straits; I also saw what you said, the royal family is in decline, and the world will be chaotic. "

"My lord..." Luo Yunsheng suddenly raised his head and looked at him in shock.

"The country still needs literati to rule it. It is not a long-term solution to rule the country with martial arts." Chen Ziqi didn't seem to know how shocking the world he said, just smiled and raised his hand, pouring Dukang wine for Luo Yunsheng and himself.

Luo Yunsheng held the cup and didn't drink, his fingertips trembled slightly, "Is this really what the prince thinks?"

"Otherwise, could it be that Feng Wang thought of it for me?" Chen Ziqi clinked glasses with him, drank the wine in the glass, put it heavily on the table, got up suddenly, and bowed deeply to Luo Yunsheng, " Since I was taught by my husband, I know that my husband has a lot of worries about the Chen family. To be honest, in Zhanghuatai, Zi Qi was chosen by the gods. Virtue cannot save Dazhang, and Chen Zijian has no intention of saving it. Although Ziqi is not talented, he wishes to revitalize the rivers and mountains with his own efforts, so that there will be valleys in the warehouses, officials in the yamen, martial arts can serve the country, and reading can also serve the country!"

The cup in Luo Yunsheng's hand fell to the ground suddenly, and he stared fixedly at this young vassal king with an overly exquisite appearance, a heart that had already been ashamed, because of the young man's words, suddenly regained its color, plop plop plop About to jump out of the throat.

"So..." Luo Yunsheng stood up, helped up Chen Ziqi, who was bowing, and held his wrist tightly, "What does the lord want Luo to do?" In those eyes, which are both a scholar and a swordsman, burst out Shining unprecedented light, it is the determination and hope that will never give up for the righteousness of the family and the country.

Chen Ziqi smiled slightly, "I want sir, come back to the fief with me to raise chickens."

"..." Luo Yunsheng's half-swallowed wine got stuck in his throat, "What?"

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Mr. Luo: What about the righteousness of the family and the country and the revitalization of the country?

Qi Qi: Revitalizing the country starts with raising chickens

Mr. Luo: What's the point?

Qi Qi: If you want to be rich, you should have fewer children and grow more trees; if you want to be successful, you should play less palace fights and more raise chickens.
