Little Zhuangtou and the Great General

048

"Brother Shen, I will trouble you for half a month." Qian Guan apologized.

The Ching Ming Festival is approaching, and the children of the Qian family must rush back to Hangzhou.Around Qingming is the most frequent period of night rain, which not only has a great impact on the field, but also causes the stream to surge, and there is a risk of mountain torrents or landslides.Especially in the place where the field is scheduled to be opened, last year, in order to facilitate the opening of the field this year, a lot of stone materials have been transported up in the sunny winter days, and the soil layer has been loosened, which increases the possibility of landslides.

Qian Guan came here specially to discuss these matters with Shen Miao and the others. After discussing for one night, he came up with the most appropriate solution.Since I was about to go to Hangzhou, I entrusted the matter to Shen Miao, and because I knew how tiring this matter was, I felt a little sorry that I had to add more trouble to Shen Miao.

Shen Miao replied with a smile: "Brother Chen doesn't have to be like this. It is everyone's wish to open the fields smoothly, and I will definitely do my best." Although he knew Qian Guan's real name, the children of the Qian family all used aliases outside, so he still called Qian Guan as his father. Chen Qi.

After Wu Liu inspected the carriage outside, he walked in. Qian Guan understood, and quickly excused himself to go ahead.

Wu Liuze put his arms around Shen Miao and sighed: "It's been half a month since I left, I really don't want to let go."

Shen Miao persuaded with a smile: "It's only half a month or so, the battle on West Zhejiang Road is over, and there are no more refugees in the village, so you can go with peace of mind."

Wu Liu stroked Shen Miao's forehead with his chin, and complained in a low voice, "It's not that I don't want to give up on this."

Shen Miao understood, wrapped her arms around Wu Liu's neck, gave him a kiss, and after touching the water, said with a smile: "Is it okay to go now?"

"Not enough!" Wu Liu immediately took the initiative.

This kiss was like glue, and they were reluctant to let go, until the sound of Luo Zhaojian's intentional cough sounded, and the two let go.

Luo Zhaojian stood at the door of the inner house, frowned at the two of them, especially at Wu Liushi, and snorted coldly: "There are only a few cushions on the car, do you want to beat me to death?"

Wu Liu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, his father Qian Liu specifically asked that Luo Zhao must be invited to this Qingming sacrifice to Zhou Bao.Wu Liuzhi's father's intention was not to ask Luo Zhaojian to watch the bloody scene, but to ask Luo Zhaojian for advice on what to do in the future?He didn't dare to be negligent, and prepared the carriage and horses a few days ago, and went to check it just now to make sure that he was sitting comfortably while walking the Baili Mountain Road.Hearing Luo Zhao's remonstrance, he obviously went to see it, and logically, he shouldn't be so picky, let alone approach the inner house uncharacteristically.

Wu Liu's heart moved, presumably Luo Zhaojian had something to say to Shen Miao, deliberately dismissed him, and said, "I'll go and add some more right away."

"En!" Luo Zhaojian's tone became a little better, and he said to Shen Miao after Wu Liu had gone far away, "Come out, I have something to tell you."

Shen Miao also saw Luo Zhaojian's deliberation, and hurriedly stepped out of the inner house door. Luo Zhaojian led him to a corner, and whispered: "Don't take it lightly during the time when everyone is away."

"Disciple understands that it's rainy in the spring night, so people have been arranged to patrol the night, and there are also countermeasures for emergencies." Shen Miao replied.

"It's not just about farming. You should pay more attention to people who suddenly appear in the village, including visiting relatives and friends." Luo Zhaojian warned, but did not say why.

Shen Miao knew that it would be useless to ask Luo Zhao if he didn't say anything, so she agreed: "I know."

"En." Luo Zhao responded and walked out, and stopped after a few steps, "If you encounter trouble, go up the mountain to find Luo Hu."

"Understood." Shen Miao agreed, and followed Luo Zhaojian to send it out.

Wu Liu and Qian Guan had already led their horses and stood in front of the door, and when they saw them coming out, Qian Guan nodded to Shen Miao, stretched out his hand to help Luo Chaojian get into the car, Wu Liu approached Shen Miao and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter? "

"It's nothing serious, Master wants me to pay more attention, I'm afraid I'm worried." Shen Miao deliberately concealed Luo Zhaojian's original words.

Wu Liu nodded: "I am also worried about you, don't focus on farming, remember to rest, and don't forget to eat."

"Well, let's go." Shen Miao smiled.

Wu Liu got on his horse, Qian Guan led the way on the horse, Luo Zhaojian's carriage was in the middle, and Wu Liu was at the end. The group walked east along the road, turned a corner and disappeared.

Luo Zhaojian sat in the carriage thinking about the reason he didn't say just now.Not only Dong Chang and Qian Liu benefited from the judgment of Zhexi Dao, but also Yang Xingmi, the governor of Luzhou who took advantage of the chaos. The three prefectures of Chang, Run and Su belonging to the Eighth Town Army were captured by Liu.

Upon seeing this, the Tang imperial family immediately took the opportunity to put up a check and balance, and praised Yang Xingmi as the Huainan Jiedu envoy for his meritorious service in calming the chaos.

Dong Chang was naturally uncomfortable, even though Yang Xingmi actually only got some territory, but not such substantial things as troops and warships.Therefore, he did not show it on the surface, and still sent people to Yangzhou to congratulate him, but secretly he acted frequently.Especially this Qingming Festival, Dong Chang ordered Qian Liu to make a big deal of it, and it is bound to use this to regain the limelight.

Yang Xingmi was naturally not a fool, he could see Dong Chang's intentions at a glance, how could he be easily overwhelmed when he took office as a new official.It's just that although he has been afraid of Dong Chang since ancient times, he married his younger sister to Dong Chang, and ordered his younger brother to lurk under the pretext of excuses, but the two people's business operations for many years have not achieved much results, and they have to find another way to reverse this situation.

Therefore, this Qingming Festival is by no means as simple as offering sacrifices to Zhou Bao, which is why Qian Liu insisted on Luo Zhaojian to go.

After a three-day slow journey, the group arrived outside the city of Hangzhou.Dong Chang occupied Yuezhou, where the Daoist government of eastern Zhejiang was located, and gave Hangzhou to Qian Liu. When Qian Liu first arrived, he intended to renovate Luocheng, but soon after the West Zhejiang Dao incident happened, it was delayed.Today, in order to worship Zhou Bao wantonly, people were ordered to rest for a while, and the scene outside the city is much neater and cleaner than before.

Ding Jihou of Qian's family was at the gate of the city, as soon as he saw the three of them coming, he went up to meet them, one of them led the horses of the Qian family brothers, and the rest of them drove around the carriage to express their apology to Luo Zhaojian.Because in the past, Qian Liu went out to greet them, but now that there are so many people in Hangzhou, it would be uncomfortable to greet them in person.

The three of them entered through the side door of the mansion in a low-key way. Qian Yan got off his horse and went back to his house. Qian Liu did not summon him, and Wu Liu accompanied Luo Zhaojian to Qian Liu's place.

Qian Liu was already waiting in front of the main hall of the Inner Mansion. As soon as he saw Luo Zhaojian, he went up to meet him. Halfway through the walk, he remembered something and stopped again. He looked at Luo Zhaojian hesitantly, and took another step.

Luo Zhaojian couldn't stand it anymore: "It was you who insisted on your son arresting me down the mountain, and finally made it all the way here. How about you, why don't you give me a smile, and still be coy?"

Qian Liu wanted to say that he was afraid that Luo Zhao would admonish him?

Luo Zhaojian saw Qian Juan's thoughts, and raised his eyebrows in contempt: "As far as what you have done, if I don't want you to want me, who will I want?"

Qian Liu hurriedly apologized, his appearance was exactly the same as Qian Yu's foolishness, Luo Zhao gave him a white look, and a gentle and kind voice sounded behind Qian Liu: "Master Luo, please come in, I have trained him early in the morning , such a small matter can’t be handled well, and I have to trouble you.”

When Luo Zhaojian saw the speaker, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. While saluting that person, he glanced at Qian Liu: "It's still your wife who knows how to be polite."

Qian Liu hurriedly flattered his wife Wu Shi: "That's natural. If you have a wife, what more can you ask for?" He bent down to lead the way for Luo Zhaojian, "Master Luo, please!"

Luo Zhaojian snorted and stepped in.

After the two of them went in, Mrs. Wu said to Wu Liu with a smile: "My son, go and rest quickly. I have ordered someone to prepare some food that you like."

"Thank you mother." Wu Liu hurriedly said.

Wu Shi then turned around and entered the room, Luo Zhaojian waited for her to sit down before saying: "I know what you mean by calling me here, but it's just because you're afraid that Yang Xingmi will make a move on you?"

Qian Liu hurriedly said: "Master has a clear eye. If Yang Xingmi can't fight clearly, he will make a difference. I have countermeasures. I want to ask Master for details?"

"Come on." Luo Zhao remonstrated.

"I am under Dong Chang's command, and I have been cultivated for many years. Even if there is a separation this time, I must stand on Dong Chang's side." Qian Liu said.

Luo Zhaojian nodded: "This is an attitude, so what do you really think?"

When Qian Liu heard this, he sighed: "Dong Chang is not a wise man, I want to choose another."

"From your tone of voice, are you interested in Yang Xingmi?" Luo Zhaojian frowned.

Qian Liu sighed again: "This person is quite capable in politics and has far-sightedness. He is indeed a good choice."

Luo Zhaojian immediately responded with a cold snort: "Qian Liu took Qian Liu, I thought you were trying farming in the village, raising the basics of farming, it was enlightenment, but it turned out that you still have such an elm head."

As soon as Qian Liu heard that it was not good, Luo's mouth was about to start to be greedy again.

Sure enough, Luo Zhaojian began to scold: "Yang Xingmi is indeed a talented person, but he is already Huainan Jiedushi. He already has a foundation at the beginning, and he is surrounded by capable people. Adding you will not add chaos for nothing? Let's talk , there are many people in the world who can share adversity, but few people who share wealth and honor. You have the ability to compete with him, how can he let you last long? Don't tell me, you are trying to be patient? This kind of life-and-death situation What's the use of patience?"

Hearing this, Qian Liu quickly winked at Mrs. Wu, he didn't think exactly as Luo Zhaojian said, but his foundation was not stable yet, even if he wanted to do something else, he had to lean on a big tree for a while.

Mrs. Wu understood, and quickly said: "Master already knew that my husband didn't mean this, why bother?"

Luo Zhaojian snorted: "How could I not know your plan, but you only see the present and don't think about the future. Dong Changshan is suspicious, Yang Xingmi has the ability, it seems that Yang Xingmi's subordinates are easy to do things, but your plan is not just for others What's the use of having a shrewd master when doing business? He'll just blackmail you everywhere, it's better to fool you than a muddled master."

"But Dong Chang is ruthless when he becomes suspicious." Qian Liu sighed. He has suffered a lot from it over the years and has a lot of feelings.

"Those who are jealous and ambitious will not last long. In the past, Dong Chang's jurisdiction was not wide, and the Tang royal family did not fully care about him. Now it is different. The Eastern Zhejiang Province has strong troops and strong horses, and even engulfed the western Zhejiang Province. The possibility of Taoism, his ambition has already expanded. This Qingming Festival can detect that this kind of ambition will deteriorate over time, and he will want to stand on his own. Once you stand on your own, you have a reason to send troops to crusade. Dong Chang is definitely not your opponent, as long as you contain it Live in Yang Xingmi, and you will be able to replace him in the future." Luo Zhao remonstrated.

Luo Zhaojian's words made Qian Liumao suddenly enlightened, and he couldn't help nodding: "That's true. Dong Chang did not hesitate to offend his wife Yang, and when he was determined to find his son who was living abroad, he revealed a little bit. , there must be a son to last forever. It shows his ambition."

Luo Zhao remonstrated with a hum.

Qian Liu said again: "Since this is the case, I know what to do. I should try my best to show my loyalty to Dong Chang, ignore Yang Xingmi's actions, and at the same time promote Dong Chang's ambition?"

After the words fell, Luo Zhaojian didn't answer immediately, and when he saw Wu Shi looking at him with a smile, he reluctantly gave an evaluation: "You can still be taught."

Qian Liu hurriedly flattered: "That's what the master said."

"Hmph!" Luo Zhaojian snorted triumphantly.

This end of Qian's mansion is secretly discussing, a certain place in Hangzhou city is not idle, it is Dong Chang's wife Yang's private house, from the outside it looks only slightly better than the neighboring houses, if you have to enter, you will know that the inside is heavily guarded.

A gloomy, emaciated man with a cane walked out of the house slowly, and there was a man kneeling tremblingly outside the house, holding a box.

The man glanced at the man contemptuously, and the man trembled even more violently, and said in a dying struggle: "The little one finds something, the old one will definitely be happy."

The man was silent.

The kneeling man had no choice but to open the box, and it was actually full of fairy grass: "From the end of last year to the beginning of spring this year, there are so many fairy grasses on the market, I was very surprised, so I secretly investigated... "

Before the man finished speaking, the man who was silent just now rushed out of the room, grabbed the Immortal Grass, looked at it, and giggled strangely.

It was Yang Xingfeng who hadn't shown up for a long time, for some reason, he no longer had the jade face he had before, his body was mutilated, and his complexion was not good.

Yang Xingfeng glanced at the man kneeling on the ground, with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth: "You, stand up and say it clearly, and if you dare to make a mistake, don't blame me..."

"The little one must answer truthfully." The kneeling man hurriedly said.
