【Chapter 1 Eighty】

At the end of September, after a few drizzles, Ningzhou became extremely cold,

The wilderness is rustling, and lonely birds fly by from time to time.The terrain of Ningzhou is dangerous, and it has been an important place for military strategists for thousands of years. Walking along the road, you can vaguely see the ruined walls.Ningzhou was controlled by Hang Zhu before, but was later captured by King Yan's army, and now it is occupied by Zheng Yi. It has changed hands in just three years. No wonder there are no pedestrians on the road.

Chi Heng thought, the time is so short, Zheng Yi, like Yan Wangjun, has not gained a firm foothold in Ningzhou, so he will be attacked by his own fast soldiers and fast horses.Zheng Yi occupies half of the territory in the northern part of Yuanxi, and now he is ambitious to expand westward. After he occupied Ningzhou, he suppressed Yuanzhou to death. Beware of suddenly rising from Yuanzhou.

And it was lightning fast.

But when Zheng Yi came back to his senses, he would definitely send a large number of troops to Ningzhou, and he would be in even more trouble then.Fortunately, this place in Ningzhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as they have the upper hand, they will not be afraid of Zheng Yi's attack.In the long run, many cities in Ningzhou can become long-term garrison capitals, which are easy to spread around, such as Lingcheng, Ningzhou City, and three or two other cities are very good.

After all, Leizhou, Stonezhou, and Yuanzhou are not suitable.

If Ji Ce is willing to come out and advise with Cen Po Jing Shiwei, it will be easier to take back Ningzhou - the reason why Ji Ce did not come to Ningzhou is very simple, he does not want to return to his old place, things are different, and only sad.Why not myself, so I can't stay in Yuanzhou.

The day before yesterday, Luo Jinghan sent a letter saying that Huayan Sui had arrived in Bingzhou, and that the ship and sea affairs had just begun to take shape, and that there would be great progress in the near future.

In this way, the rear has something to rely on.

……

Chi Heng fell into deep thought, walking slower and slower, unknowingly the sky turned gloomy and cold rain poured down.Seeing this situation, Chi Heng rode his horse and drove quickly. After running through many desolate places, he saw a dilapidated house in front of him, so he rushed over.

The house is indeed dilapidated, and it was only when we got closer that we found out that it was a broken Taoist temple.

When he arrived at the Taoist temple, Chi Heng was taken aback for a moment, because looking inside from the collapsed wall, there were actually two horses and a carriage.Chi Heng was alert at once, and wanted to ride his horse away, but after thinking about it, if there was a mistake in the current movement, he couldn't escape, so he ran in generously and tied his horse with those horses.

He weighed his wet clothes and ran into Sanqing Hall.

There are five people in the temple.

When they saw Chi Heng, they looked up together.Three people who looked like scholars, an old servant, and a young strong man.The old servant was lighting a fire, and the young strong man was sitting upright, with a serious look on his face. He didn't speak when he saw Chi Heng coming in, but looked at the wall after a glance.

The three scholars were dressed in broad clothes, all wearing Gaoshi scarves, and they were very polite when they met Chi Heng.

Chi Heng sighed, can a scholar in this troubled times survive?

These three scholars.

One has a beautiful appearance, the other has a modest demeanor, and the appearance of the scholar in the corner is easy to forget, and they all look like they are in their 20s.Chi Heng would not be able to do without a bit of nagging, and asked them one by one. The beautiful one was named Liu Sheng, the humble one was named Zhou Sheng, the ordinary-looking one was named Lu Sheng, the old servant was called Lao Liu, and the young strong man was named Deng Yuan.

Deng Yuan and the sixth child did not speak.

Zhou Sheng asked Chi Heng's name, and chatted for a few words, full of the rotten air of a scholar who dropped his book bag; Liu Sheng also said a few words occasionally, and his conversation was as elegant as a spring breeze; relatively speaking, Lu Sheng was silent and taciturn.It turned out that these people came from Silicon Prefecture, and they heard that Grand Master Zheng Yi was recruiting talents in the capital, and they were going to try it out to see if they could gain fame.

Fame?

Chi Heng couldn't help but want to laugh, whether the fame obtained in this era is reliable or not.

In the time it took for a cup of tea, the fire was lit, and Lu Sheng stepped forward to add fire.

His clothes were all wet, so Chi Heng stepped forward to dry them, and took the opportunity to chat with Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng spoke in a calm tone, and answered in a simple and clear way. Take it out and eat."

"Yes, sir."

The old servant took out dry rations and rice cakes, distributed them one by one, and gave Chi Heng a piece as well.

Chi Heng weighed the clothes with one hand and took the rice cake with the other, thanking him all over.The skin of the powdered glutinous rice cakes was browned and blackened, and it smelled like sesame seed cakes. Chi Heng had never eaten this kind of food, so he didn't know how to eat it. He glanced at it and saw that the scholars were all polite and bowed their heads to eat it.

Chi Heng put the rice cakes by the fire and said with a smile, "Thank you, old man, I just ate it."

The old servant was deaf and hoarse: "It's not wet, it's not wet. The old servant didn't even get a little rain on the innermost layer."

It is said to be a broken Taoist temple, and it is really broken. The rain seeped down the eaves and flowed into the Sanqing Palace. Chi Heng stood at the place where there was no water, and approached the young strong man Deng Yuan. Deng Yuan was born fiercely. She opened her chest, revealing her good muscles, and she wore a long dress underneath to cover her feet, sitting upright motionless.

Chi Heng talked to him, but Deng Yuan ignored it.

In a blink of an eye, the rain subsided, and Chi Heng was about to go out, but he heard Liu Sheng say, "Brother, did you just say you were going to Lingcheng? You are on the way with us. I heard that there are many robbers in the mountain ahead, and we are all scholars who are afraid." If there is an accident, it is not too far away, and someone will come to meet you after you climb over the mountain."

Looking at the silver tael handed over, Chi Heng smiled and pushed it back: "It's just a little effort."

Zhou Sheng and Lu Sheng rode horses, the old servant drove the carriage, and Liu Sheng and Deng Yuan rode in the carriage. It turned out that Deng Yuan had a leg injury and could not ride a horse.It was still drizzling, Chi Heng lightly waved his horsewhip, and followed behind the carriage.The horse harnessed to the carriage was not very strong, and the carriage kept shaking.

Quick snap.

The wheel stopped, and the old servant got off his horse and muttered, "Why is it so good that it's broken?"

Chi Heng got off his horse to check, and it turned out that the carriage wheels were cracked: "This carriage is no good, and someone needs to repair it, why don't you let Liu Sheng ride a horse with me!" After he finished speaking, he lifted the curtain, and the two people in the carriage were side by side. Sitting, Liu Sheng smiled slightly, and Deng Yuan turned pale.

The old servant said again and again: "You can't make it, you can't make it!"

Chi Heng stretched out his hand and made a supportive gesture. Liu Sheng stood up and stretched out his hand too. Seeing that his hands were about to touch each other, Chi Heng suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled it out suddenly. Liu Sheng was caught off guard and fell off the carriage.

"What are you doing!" Zhou Sheng and Lu Sheng's old servant exclaimed at the same time.

Chi Heng stepped forward quickly, grabbed Deng Yuan, and dragged him out of the carriage in a blink of an eye.Outside the carriage, Deng Yuan sweated like rain, his lips trembling: "Quick, quick, save me!"

After exclaiming, there was a confrontation between the two.

Liu Sheng had already got up and stood next to Zhou Sheng.The old slave had an extra bow in his hand and pointed at Chi Heng: "Brother, follow us if you are sensible."

Chi Heng smiled: "Why should I go with you?"

He smiled, but looked at Lu Sheng.On Lu Sheng's ordinary face, his gaze suddenly became sharp: "It's amazing! Too bad there's too much nonsense, why don't you look at your feet?" He raised his hand suddenly.

Chi Heng was taken aback for a moment, and moved his feet.

Although he didn't see anything, Chi Heng kicked his feet instinctively, but it was as if he was being bound violently by a shadowless tencel. Just as Chi Heng was about to jump off, a flash of light flashed by, and he fell heavily to the ground.

……

Not long after the darkness, a long needle pierced his knee, Chi Heng shivered and woke up from the pain.

It was Liu Sheng's beautiful face that was reflected in his face.

There is also Zhou Sheng's humble to stiff smile.

And, naked Deng Yuan.That's right, Deng Yuan was lying on the ground with his legs tightly clamped between his legs, trembling all over, and turned his head up in horror.Lu Sheng lowered his head and said with a half-smile, "I told you not to ask for help!"

Deng Yuan burst into tears: "I didn't speak." He was so terrified, such a strong person, but at this moment he was trembling like a shaved quail.

Lu Sheng turned his head and smiled at Chi Heng: "This little brother has good eyesight."
