Taoist is a plush control

Gu Wangshu didn't know whether it was because he stayed up all night, or such a mess happened suddenly, or it was this group of rambunctious people who were chatting quietly and busy moving things around in the side room. The helper made a fuss... Anyway, the temple felt like an arrow had been pierced, and it hurt so badly.

Really, miserable.

He has lived alone since he was a child.Just because his appearance is different from ordinary people and his temper is bad, everyone unconsciously avoids him and feels fear, and no one wants to live with him.After a long time, I got used to it. On the contrary, I feel that it is more clean and comfortable to live in.There are so many people rushing in and arguing all of a sudden, it's really uncomfortable.

Gu Wangshu was so annoyed that he could only sit alone under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard with a pot of wine, watching this group of people bustling back and forth like a revolving door, his head felt dizzy.

The side room has not been lived in for more than ten years, even though it is right behind his house, he has never entered it again.The accessories in the house are too old to be used anymore. Needless to say, it needs to be cleaned thoroughly, and even the large pieces of furniture have to be repurchased. After all, it is not much easier than building a new house directly.The little Taoist priests who were called to help were all very busy at the moment.

He sat there watching pieces of worn-out and ashesed, even some rotten furniture being moved out. He couldn't help but recall those memories that were also buried in his heart and accumulated a thousand layers of ashes, thinking about those furniture. Even when it was brand new, probably when he...was only fourteen or fifteen years old.

At that time, this side room was also used as a guest room, where people lived in it.

He narrowed his eyes in relief.Not wanting to think about it, he swallowed a big mouthful of wine.

Before he took a sip of wine, he seemed to hear some rustling sound from above his head.As soon as he looked up, he saw the owner of the haunted face like a ghost, squatting on the branch of a tree like a wild cat and looking at him at the moment.

Seeing him looking over, Ai Ye immediately put on a smile on his sluggish face.

"Little monster, lend me a sip of your wine."

Gu Wangshu didn't bother to talk to him.

"No loan."

"Little monster, don't be so stingy, anyway, we are neighbors now." Ai Ye was a perseverant, dangling his arms from the tree and dangling back and forth in front of his eyes.

Gu Wangshu was surprised, how could this demon always appear when he was most worried and wanted to be alone, and kept teasing and challenging the bottom line of his mentality.

"I also have a name, okay! My name is Gu..."

"Is that Wang Shu?" Ai Ye giggled on top of his head, raised her hand and used her sleeve to shield him from the ray of sunset that fell on his face after being disturbed by the tree branches, as if knowing that his eyes were naturally sensitive to light.

"Your name, Hanchuan Lingyue and Gu Wangshu, is well-known in Yizhou. How could I not know about it. Who needs a candle, and the cool sky is hopeful. It's a good name."

"Since you all know, why don't you shut up your cheap mouth." Gu Wangshu looked at him really angry, then turned his head and turned his back, gritted his molars and said fiercely.

"Little monster, have you lived alone all this time?"

"So what?"

"What's the matter with the black window paper pasted outside your house? Doesn't it mean that you can't see the scenery outside the window?"

"What's the matter with you."

"What about the family? Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

"No."

……

"...It turns out that being born in this world will be lonely." Ai Ye's voice suddenly became softer, as if he was talking to himself.

"I thought that this world is full of family and work, harmonious and peaceful, Bo Xun Zhongchi's. It turns out that what I see may not be true."

Gu Wangshu felt a stiff back, as if someone hit the back of the head, and suddenly lost his voice.

Bo Xun Zhongchi, the meaning of brotherhood and harmony, how ironic.

He looked up at Ai Ye.The dark red setting sun passed through layers of leaves and scattered on him.A gust of west wind blows, osmanthus dances in the wind accompanied by his loose white long hair, looking at the dark sunset, as if there is a layer of mist in his eyes.The demon, who usually seems to have a bad character, is actually a bit frustrated at this time.

Gu Wangshu seemed to be able to imagine how he had watched the sunrise and sunset thousands of times with such an expression, day after day, endlessly.

It looks like it has lived for a thousand years.

Gu Wangshu stood up and silently raised the jug in front of him.

Ai Ye picked up his eyes, looked at the jug, then at him, changed back to his youthful face, and took it with a smile.

That's all.Living in this world, who can have no stories and no secrets.I have only lived such a short period of twenty and five years, and I have so many pasts that I don't want to look back on.

What's more, he is a demon who has been born for more than a thousand years.

"By the way, little monster, what do we eat at night? How is the food in Guanli?" Ai Ye hung his head from the tree and asked curiously. "Do you have a shank of lamb? No... No, rabbits are fine!"

It's really terrible to be noisy.

"If you want to eat rabbits, go to the back mountain to catch them yourself. But whether you can enter the forbidden area of ​​the back mountain depends on your ability." Gu Wangshu patted the dust on the skirt of his clothes, picked up the umbrella and propped it up, without looking back and left.

Even if it was Wujin Xizhao, if Ai Ye hadn't stretched out his hand to cover him, he still wouldn't be able to bear it without holding an umbrella.

"Hey...? But your master won't let me walk around alone!" Ai Ye shouted after her.

"Where are you going, I have to follow!"

"I'm going to bed, is it possible that I still have to tie you up?"

----

Yizhou.

In Yizhou area, there are many mountains and trees, and the terrain is steep.

This road is a mountain of swords, trees and knives, and a vast forest.Even if it is an official road and a commercial road, there are many plants with intertwined roots that occasionally appear to block the road.Horse thieves and robbers appeared frequently, and not many convoys dared to walk on this mountain road without their bodyguards.

A flimsy carriage came slowly from a distance, with rolling wheels and creaking wooden sounds.Behind him was an old horse, wobbly pulling a few servants and a small amount of luggage.This shabby look, even the horse thief didn't bother to pay attention to it, but it was a blessing in disguise and walked all the way safely.

Gothe poked his head out of the carriage to let the air in. Although it was already autumn according to the annual calendar, it was still a bit hot to stay in the airtight carriage.The shadows of the trees were mottled, and I raised my hand to cover the sun, and I felt unspeakable depression in my heart.

I think that I have passed the age of forty years, and I have worked hard day and night for many years before I passed the scientific examination and became an official. I have been upright for many years, never followed others, and I am always careful, but I am still implicated in the assassination of Zhongshu Sheng. Dog Fortunately, my brother survived and was driven to Yizhou, thousands of miles away, to be the magistrate.

For the group of pugs in the imperial court, they must be extremely happy to be kicked out so far after taking the blame.

It's just a pity that my family members have also been wronged.

There were not many family members in the mansion, this time they were in a hurry to leave, and they moved so far away, so they had to dismiss most of the people, leaving behind a few servants who had followed since childhood, and they didn't even bring much luggage. The general appearance is indeed shabby.

In fact, being dispatched to the local Zhizhou is not a bad thing at all, after all, you can enjoy the happiness in the court and the public in the courtyard, and you don't have to live in fear with the old foxes in the court every day, not to mention that Yizhou is also famous It is a peaceful and rich place, and it is also the only way for caravans, Minxi Wufu.

It's just that this Yizhou has some special features, which makes Gao De really feel at ease.

That is the Yizhou army stationed here to defend the city.

This Yizhou army is different from other city guards who train a city gate to guard the border every day. It is a capable army with actual combat experience, strict military discipline, and can participate in battle at any time.

After all, the predecessor of the Yizhou Army was the National Defense Army led by the former National Protector General Feng Liao. .

It's just that Feng Liao was defeated five years ago and was executed for the crime of surrendering to the country. Those who were implicated in the army should be executed, and those who were dismissed were dismissed. There were very few old troops left. With Feng Liao's only son, the general secretary who had just turned Feng Hanguang, a young general from the town, changed his name to the Yizhou Army together. He cut the large army in half and left it in the remote mountains to guard the northwest frontier.

No one knows that the strength of the Yizhou army is still in the hands of a young general in the town, and how much of it is still left today.

According to the informant, after all, the court is beyond its reach.In the local area, the Yizhou army is more authoritative than the imperial court officials. It is said that although General Feng is young, he manages the army well.

Protecting the common people of one side to live and work in peace and contentment, to act vigorously and resolutely, and no barbarians dare to invade.After all, water from far away cannot quench thirst from near, so naturally the common people don't trust the imperial court, they only trust him as a young general.

It's just a bunch of bereaved dogs.Gothe thought to himself.No matter how powerful it is, it is just a chess piece discarded by the court, not to mention that Feng Hanguang is only in his early twenties, so he can endure so much hardship and understand how many people's designs.How can it turn the sky upside down.

The carriage thumped and rolled forward for an unknown amount of time, and the sky began to gradually darken.The old coachman looked around and saw that the vegetation was thinning and the driveway was wide, so he turned his head and rushed into the carriage and said, "My lord, we have arrived at the border of Yizhou."

"Well, everyone has worked hard." Gothe responded.Turning around to look at the tired faces of the family members and horses, I was not feeling well either.

There was a sound of horseshoes in front of it, and as it got closer, a large number of forest birds were startled.Now that he has entered the territory of Yizhou, he naturally doesn't have to worry about whether he will be a barbarian or horse thief.Gothe got down from the carriage and took a closer look. It was two armored soldiers galloping on fast horses. When they saw Gothe himself, they reined in their horses together, turned over and gave a military salute.The two moved in one go, without the slightest hesitation or difference.

Just this has already sent a chill down Gothe's spine.No matter how long he has been an official, he is just a civil servant who lives deep in the capital. He has never been to a military camp or seen a military posture.These two people seem to be just ordinary soldiers, why can they be so well-trained?Or... is this always the case in the barracks?

But anyway, he is an official of the imperial court in name, and he still can't be inferior to others in terms of momentum.Gao De raised his arms to invite the two of them to stand up, but then he pretended to be intimidating and asked, "Where is your general? Why, with such a big face, you only deserve two pawns to welcome me?"

Unexpectedly, the two soldiers acted like a stringed puppet, they didn't answer a word, and even their expressions didn't change, they just made a "please" gesture and got on their horses to lead the way.

"This... my lord, are we following or not?" the coachman stumbled a little at a loss.

"……and."

Gothe gritted his teeth secretly.This Yizhou army, when they met for the first time, was such a disarming force, it's really not a good thing.

It's just that before knowing the details of the other party, you still can't act rashly and make troubles.

The carriage wandered into the city, and the main street of Yizhou City in the evening was still very lively, bustling with people, and the saying of the Little Imperial City in the Western Region really lived up to its reputation.His flimsy carriage did not attract much attention from the people on the street. Any caravan's car was several times richer than theirs. No one would have imagined that their future Lord Zhizhou would come from afar in such a broken car.

I don't know how long it took, the chariots and horses finally stopped in front of the main town mansion.

As the sky turned dark, Gothe leaned out from the carriage.Autumn is high and cloudless, rendering it dark blue.The wide black iron gate of the General Town Mansion and the two majestic stone lions in front of the gate actually gave people an indescribable sense of chill and oppression in this dimness.

Gao De couldn't help shivering.This feeling, I probably only experienced it before standing outside the imperial palace to accept the crime.

But the man soon calmed down.Thinking about it, it might be that he was really fooling around all the way, or it might be a sequela brought to him by the power of the government and the opposition, why is it that he is nervous even to see the general town mansion now.

There is nothing to be afraid of, no matter how the owner here is, he is nothing more than a traitorous empress.

It was getting cooler at night, and the group of people was left hanging outside for a long time, only to see the closed door slowly open, and an old soldier who looked like a certain class and was about his own age walked out and directed at them. Sorry lol.

"Lord Gao, I'm sorry for the long wait. I'm the general of the Yizhou Army, Du Zhong, and I welcome you from afar."

Feelings, there are still people here who can laugh.
