Drunk Yangzhou

In Jinling during the Grain Rain season, the vegetation should have been luxuriant and luxuriant, but this year is not the same as before. The cold air hits from the north, and the peaches and pears bloom late. Buried in government affairs together, Wen Zheng came back from his hometown and stayed by his side for two days, but returned to Zhejiang due to some things.In Wu Jun's camp, everyone performed their duties, and the atmosphere in the East Garden was harmonious and harmonious, which seemed to warm up this unusual spring day.

"According to the detailed statistics, last year the Lianghuai salt production was 63 shi. After the opening of the Rugao field, it may increase to 70." In Xiaotang Bookstore, Su Yunpu said firmly.He carefully collected statistics for several days, and came up with a pleasing result. His previous idea is being realized step by step. The Lianghuai salt industry is already extremely prosperous. The only regret is that his hometown is in Ludi, which is located in the territory of Daqin I don't know if Fu Yiting can solve these people's livelihood matters.

"Rugao made the same thing a few years ago, but there was a shortage of manpower. Fengchi proposed to pull out the prisoners from the Huaiyang Prison... Actually, it is a way. If you return home, what do you think?" Xiao Ge put down the accounts in his hand, and then Consider the employment of saltworks.

"Mr. Wen's method is getting more and more strange." Su Yunpu praised with a smile, "He has encountered thousands of strange things in the past few years, and he has become more courageous. In my opinion, some prisoners should be kept. It would be good to keep them in the warehouse to make military uniforms, and release the rest to the saltworks to replenish manpower."

"If it's in the saltworks, we need to pay more attention to management. We'll ask Tian Liang to come up with a system later, and we'll make a decision." Xiao Ge smiled, "You can see that Fengchi is bold? I guess he's been secretly working on this method. I used it, but I didn’t report it to me.”

Su Yunpu was startled and said, "Master already knew?"

Xiao Ge was noncommittal, just sat down on the huanghuali wooden chair, and tapped his palm with the bone fan, "You don't have to worry about doing things. I also understand that there is a limit to relaxation and relaxation. Although I won't stop these things, I should listen to them. It’s always good to have some control for you.”

"That's right, my lord is in charge, so I can rest assured." Su Yunpu bowed respectfully, turned his head and ordered the attendants to serve tea, Xiao Ge drank a cup, but stood up again and walked to the map, muttering: From Yiling in Hailing County to Yangzhou Wantou...Guazhou enters the river...The other is from the south via Chaixu Town to Zhenzhou. At present, the load of these two salt roads is already too heavy. In two years, the salt production will increase again. It’s time to plan.”

"My lord, the pressure on Zhenzhou is a little less, and I have already taken a look at one." Su Yunpu pointed at the map, "It's better to dig westward from Yangzi Town, and also drive to Zhenzhou to enter the river."

Xiao Ge carefully looked at the surrounding terrain, nodded lightly, "The location is not bad, you can send someone to investigate along the way tomorrow, if it is feasible, start work as soon as possible."

Su Yunpu complied, and the two were about to discuss tax cuts for the Guangzhou and Guizhou states again, but they saw Bai Song'an directly pushing the door in regardless of etiquette, with an anxious face.

"My lord! Something happened in Zhejiang. This year's martial arts alliance was a bloodbath. The nearby people destroyed hundreds of households in the fight, and the people fled overnight in fright. Even the governor's mansion was alarmed. Mr. Wen is now leading People go to the local area to protect the people, but they don’t know what’s going on, how violent is this?”

Xiao Ge was taken aback, he quickly stood up and asked, "How is it on Qingliang Peak?"

"The sky is full of flames on Qingliang Peak, and what is flowing down is almost a stream of blood. I don't know which sect did it. There is a scuffle around now, and the situation is not good." Bai Songan said urgently.

Xiao Ge had some bad premonitions, although Qinglong's martial arts were superb, he was able to see the enemy from the dark, and the opponent had premeditated, I'm afraid there will be more bad luck than good luck.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, although Qinglong had already let go of his special affection for him and married Suzaku last year, but they were still friends after all, and he was the third son of the Fu family, how could Xiao Ge not worry about him, So he immediately said: "I will personally lead the Wu army in Zhejiang to solve the problem, and set off immediately!"

"Wait a minute!" Su Yunpu was still calm at this time, and he couldn't help dissuading Xiao Ge, "We outsiders can't see through which sect Chief Yun will have grievances with, maybe it's for money, maybe it's for Qinglong Liuyun Thirteen The secret book of recruiting and whipping—my lord, it is better not to get involved in the disputes between the rivers and lakes."

"It's not easy for us to intervene in the battle between the rivers and lakes, but I really can't just sit idly by." Xiao Ge's eyes were wet, and he turned his head and said to Bai Song'an, "Song'an, you know that if Qinglong didn't let Qinglong deliberately let him go that year. More than you and me, the situation in Zhejiang cannot be so safe!"

"The head of Qinglong is indeed benevolent..." Bai Song'an sighed, "But..." He wanted to say that the matter of Chieftain Yunhui's robbery of salt was not very honorable, and Xiao Ge had already made up for the shortfall for them. Not owed to each other, he hesitated for a while and finally didn't say anything, but Su Yunpu answered, "Although the lord has not proclaimed himself emperor, he is no different from the imperial court. The imperial court has always sent troops to martial arts fighters, and it is the latter's conspiracy to rebel against them." , but the turmoil this time is obviously still in the Jianghu martial arts world, I am afraid that the teacher came out of nowhere..." He glanced at Xiao Ge, "If you want to help, it is better to be in the dark."

Xiao Ge bit his lips and thought for a moment, but he still said firmly, "However, I just said in Song'an that the common people have already suffered a lot, and they are not benevolent first. If this matter is done, it must be done clearly, and morality is at ease with people's hearts."

Su Yunpu couldn't help being a little shocked when he heard the words, and when he was thinking about it secretly, Xiao Ge had already hung his two knives on his waist and strode out of the study.

The silver-armored guards were galloping through the mountain roads, Xiao Ge suddenly remembered when he was on his way, the promise he had made to Qinglong a few years ago had not been completed, he had countless opportunities to attack Fu Yiting, but he didn't.

He also tried to find out the truth when he was under the quicksand, but Fu Yiting didn't respond.

Being caught between these two awkward brothers naturally made him in a dilemma, and the root of this dilemma was that he cherished and tendered towards the members of the Fu family.If he didn't care so much, he could do it freely, why he hesitated to such a situation.

Xiao Ge suddenly became agitated, and he whipped Yi Ri's buttocks. At this time, a large thick black suddenly hit the sky, and the wet wind with an earthy smell hit his face. The raindrops fell eagerly, as if they were announcing something. Originally, it was the spring rain that was as precious as oil, but now it was so mournful and angry. When he arrived in Zhejiang, he had to accept the reality.

When Wen Zheng arrived with his troops, the perpetrators had already fled. The soaring flames and smoke covered the sky, and feather-like ashes fell from the surrounding area. Wen Zheng did not go up the mountain, but first led the troops to transfer the local people. Xiao Ge arrived, and after asking about the situation, he ran towards the top of Qingliang Peak without hesitation.

"My lord!" Seeing that he had almost put his life on the line, Wen Zheng's expression became very complicated, he stepped on the horse before the mountain road, puzzled and said: "Even the major gangs have already evacuated, why should the lord put himself in danger?! "

"Fengchi, you don't know what happened a few years ago..." Xiao Ge anxiously took a detour, "The head of the Chieftain Cloud Club is considered to have a relationship with me...this matter cannot be ignored."

"My lord, if I were in danger today...would you be like this..." Wen Zheng asked with some jealousy.

"Of course! Fengchi, you..." Xiao Ge looked into the eyes of his military adviser in surprise. He never thought that Wen Zheng would ask such a question, nor did he think that the gap between them had reached this point.

"Will it?" Wen Zheng smiled wryly, obviously, he didn't believe it.

Xiao Ge lowered his horsewhip, and said somewhat dejectedly, "Fengchi, you think I've neglected you these years, don't you?"

"No..." Wen Zheng felt sour and hot in his heart, and almost burst into tears.

"Still said no..." Xiao Ge sighed, "Fengchi, starting from today, if you don't want to let you go... you can follow me wherever I go... As for leading troops and training, Song'an Jixing and the others should be able to take care of themselves It's..."

The distant flames on Qingliang Peak illuminated the faces of the two, and the wind with a strong burning smell made their faces dark. Wen Zheng raised his head to meet the man's amber pupils, and the mountain in his heart collapsed. He quickly reined in his horse and turned around. Instructing the guards around him to stop Xiao Ge, he raised his whip and led the soldiers to march against the fire, "My lord, let me go."

While Xiao Ge was in a daze, Wen Zheng had already led the Silver Armored Army roaring past him, rushing towards the dangerous situation ahead, this scene deeply hurt Xiao Ge's eyes, he didn't feel it when he was in it, but he could pull it out Only then did he realize that he was actually hesitant about this action.

Is it worth it?Xiao Ge took out the snuff bottle from his bosom, and Qinglong's words "I like you a little..." faintly flashed in his ears. He still remembers the shock brought to his heart by these words, because some people have never even said such a sentence. To myself... Although Qinglong's love is short-lived, it is also true and precious, and it is worth cherishing... He has been using the army for several years with a big cause in mind, and this is the only time he has favoritism.

Xiao Ge rubbed his hot eyes, turned his head and told the other guards, "Brothers have already fought the front line, we can't be idle, go up the mountain to fight the fire immediately!"

Wu Jun arrived late, Qingliang Peak had a different name, the mountain was even more tragic than they imagined, hot oil was poured everywhere, the scorched smell of human corpses made people sick, and the mountain stream was full of gang members who wanted to escape , but only a small number of people survived, and the blood was stirred by the water waves into strands of shocking red brocade, which continued heroically and sadly.

Wen Zheng had already led people to draw water to extinguish all the flames, helping the crowd to identify the corpses of the same family with difficulty, crying endlessly, hatred and despair spread faster than thick smoke.

And the news inquired under the mountain was also passed to Xiao Ge in good time. This was obviously a long-planned trick. Internal strength, after being forced to ask the cheats, they began to massacre the members of the chief cloud society, and some righteous sects could not see such a tragedy, stayed behind to stop them, and suffered countless casualties... Although these murderers in dark red clothes deliberately concealed themselves However, some martial arts seniors secretly commented that their moves are one or two points similar to Shaolin Hunyuan Kungfu.

Now Shaolin became the target of public criticism in the martial arts, several masters argued that someone deliberately blamed Shaolin, but everyone was still skeptical.

At this moment, Xiao Ge has no intention to analyze the cruel conspiracy between these sects, and only tries his best to search for Qinglong's whereabouts. In this turmoil, Qinglong is undoubtedly the one in the most dangerous situation.

Xiao Ge was flustered, he asked several gang members but they didn't know where Qinglong was, so he could only search the map in a random manner.

He accidentally saw the standing cliff at the northwest head of Qingliang Peak, and suddenly remembered that Qinglong would come here alone to practice martial arts if he didn't teach and help the crowd in the morning. He also silently watched the scene of Qinglong dancing the whip from the cliff , that vigorous posture is somewhat similar to Fu Yiting's, but it is more skillful and ingenious, and the change of the whip head is also more unexpected...

Several springs and autumns have passed by in a flash, but the situation here is unexpected, Xiao Ge reined in his horse at the same place, looked at the lone and towering cliff, and found that there was silver light shining faintly on the cliff, contrasting with the waning moon in the sky , a stalwart figure was standing there, Xiao Ge's heart jumped wildly, leaving behind Yi Sun, he stepped on the rock and jumped up the cliff, the man was still wearing a silver mask, but he was motionless, Xiao Ge walked around his chest At first glance, Qinglong's body was full of wounds, a long dagger went straight into his left chest, and the dark red blood had already coagulated.

Alas, congratulations to the master!
