How many buildings are in the mist

Not long after Xie Yan and Feng Zizhang entered the border of Luling, they successfully found Gongsun Man's eyeliner here.It was rare that a humble subordinate not only prepared an ox cart for them, but also found an excuse to let out the rumor that he was planning to go shopping for grain.The two of them sat carefully in the car all the way, they were good-looking and just pretended to be Gongsun Man's subordinates.All the way to the west, not only can avoid the fatigue of the journey, but also can calmly observe the surrounding area.Although there were several interrogations on the road, the soldiers were full of wine and food, and the inspections were only perfunctory, and sometimes they openly accepted bribes.The three easily dismissed these people with money, and walked on the official road aggressively.

As far as the eye can see, a lot of trees have been cut down, but judging from the scale, most of them were cut down for firewood, rather than looking for good wood to build ships and so on.But the people in the farmland are full of the old and the weak, not even the middle-aged women.Feng Zizhang didn't bother to ask, everything was as expected.When the three of them stayed at night, they were very careful not to be followed.Or simply sleep in the wild and take turns keeping watch, hoping to reach the depths of Luling Kingdom safely.Although Feng Zizhang felt more and more worried as she walked in, but she had to go forward.

It was night, when Gongsunman went to sleep and Xie Yan got up to change shifts, Feng Zizhang couldn't sleep, so he just got up and chatted with her.

"Let's go forward, it's time to reach Yangfeng." Xie Yansong said after setting off the bonfire, standing up straight again, and looking at the starry sky.

Feng Zizhang said: "Oh? I heard that Yangfeng Iron Mine is very rich and the ironware produced is very famous."

"Yeah, so I guess we'll see a lot of smithies and blacksmiths. Of course maybe not."

"Ok?"

"No way, you're still so stupid."

Feng Zizhang laughed, "If you say that about him, he is really going to take your life."

Xie Yan also laughed, and after laughing, the two of them looked at the Milky Way in the sky together without saying a word, enjoying the silence.

"Tell me," Feng Zizhang asked, "is it more terrifying to take a small number of soldiers to death and deal with enemies far larger than yourself, or is it more terrifying to go to a dangerous situation alone like this?"

Xie Yan chuckled lightly, "There is no one in my heart who walks on a single-plank bridge, and there are people in my heart wherever the world is, my way is not alone." Speaking of danger, she wanted to ask Feng Zizhang a question. She was concerned about Gongsun Man's subordinates, But thinking of the other party's loyalty and reliability, he said to Feng Zizhang: "If we do find an unusually large number of blacksmith shops in Yangfeng, it can be seen that Luling King must have made preparations. What are your plans?"

Every step she takes, she wants to ask Feng Zizhang how he plans to go down. If Feng Zizhang decides to quit at any time, she will protect Feng Zizhang to exit safely; if Feng Zizhang wants to continue, she will definitely go forward with Feng Zizhang Go: But she needs to give Feng Zizhang a chance to think about it, and don't force herself.

"I'm still hoping to get some evidence."

"Evidence? Like?"

"Then let's see what can be taken away as evidence, otherwise the court will have no name; but we can only go there to see what is there and take it, otherwise they will be fully prepared to raise troops to rebel and harm the people, of course they can't."

Xie Yan said: "Then we only have to go into Luling Palace to steal this way, and I hope Feng Zisong has prepared the dragon robe with seal and ribbon, and prepared it for us."

Feng Zizhang laughed, and then said seriously: "Why do you think the King of Luling conspired against him?"

Xie Yan shrugged and shook his head, "In my opinion, the current emperor is the hero, but the world is not completely a world that the hero can dispose of at will. It is inevitable that some people will not accept it."

Just as Feng Zizhang was about to ask her if she meant that the Lu family was instigating this matter, Xie Yan said, "But if it were me, it would still be in the wilderness at this time, with the moon and the breeze coming freely and comfortably. What about being rich and rich? It is comfortable to have freedom!"

Although Feng Zizhang agrees with her ambition of being born in this world, he pushed her face and said: "I want to be a saint in the court, but also want to be unrestrained in the mountains, how can there be such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone!"

The three of them walked for another three days, and it took a lot of effort to perform the show well without causing people to be too suspicious. Thanks to Gongsun Man's subordinates who had a good show and a good car, they arrived in the afternoon of the third day He moved to Xichang, the capital of the Luling Kingdom.Xichang was originally a transit point for frequent business contacts, because the king of Luling, Fengzi Song, liked to have fun, and it was a very prosperous and large town.However, when the three of them entered the city, they found that the bustling and noisy streets had become extremely chaotic, with cars and horses jostling around, pedestrians on the road could hardly walk, and businesses were infected by the oppressive atmosphere, too lazy to go out to greet customers.From the gate of the city, the interrogation became stricter.In the end, the three of them looked around the city, but they didn't dare to leave the ox cart to avoid being confiscated by the palace. They chose to let Xie Yan and Feng Zizhang stay in the city, while Gongsunman's men went out to find a secluded and safe place to sleep.

When the two of them rested at night, they always heard soldiers coming and going on the road, and officials watching the night scolding passers-by and ordinary people.The two quietly climbed to the top of the building to observe, Feng Zizhang shook his head and sighed, but Xie Yan looked happy, Feng Zizhang asked her why she was happy, she said: "Look at this mess, you can see a group of mobs, the court ordered four One circle, I’m afraid I’ll surrender before fighting. Don’t mention how big the waves are, I’m afraid I won’t even see the waves, and I’ll fail.”

Feng Zizhang smiled and said: "Your mouth is really terribly hurtful."

During the day, the two searched for possible and easy-to-obtain evidence in Xichang City.But if there is no result as expected, I can only ask the Luling Palace.So the two surveyed the terrain of the palace, the situation of entering and exiting, the frequency of guard shifts, and whether there were cracks in the city wall for escape, etc. for two consecutive nights.On the third day, during the day, he made an appointment with Gongsun Man's subordinates, who had been a carriage driver all the way, in which forest to meet at night.

"If you don't come...?" asked the coachman, of course he didn't want this to happen at all.

Xie Yan thought for a while, "I won't not come, just wait."

On a sultry summer night, the sky is full of dark clouds, and I don't know when it will rain.The two of them took advantage of the moonless night to be Liang Shangjun.The two found out that there were ox carts transporting war materials in and out of the palace every day, and they planned to hide in them, or hang them under the carts to get in.And soap-colored clothes are prepared for this.Unexpectedly, I met a car full of wine and food on the only way the car must pass.Seeing the messy pile of items and a lot of straw on it, Xie Yan threw a stone into the distance, attracting the attention of inspecting soldiers and coachmen, and the two sneaked into the car gently. hid.The two lay on their backs, not daring to move, let alone make a sound.Feng Zizhang already felt that there was a huge leg of lamb beside her, but fortunately, there was a wine jar on her head, not beef—she knew that Xie Yan seemed to have several pieces of fresh and huge beef on her head.

Fortunately, the ox cart brought them into the backyard of the kitchen, bypassing the checks at the door and the heavy guards of the warehouse, and directly approached the place where Fengzisong lived.When the two climbed up to the roof, Xie Yan took off the straw stained with cow blood and muttered with a stinky face, "Is it possible to carry so much food at this time—" Feng Zizhang poked her. shoulder, beckoning her to listen quietly; when she listened carefully, it was full of silk and bamboo orchestral sounds.The two changed a few more roofs, and took a closer look: Well, the war is coming, and there are going to be rebels, and this Luling King is still feasting on guests.

Of course, the banquet guests themselves are not necessarily wrong, because the banquet can be of the nature of winning over, or of stabilizing the morale of the army.Looking from the roof, the people at the banquet didn't know each other very well. It's hard to say whether it was a banquet of win-win nature or appeasement nature, but Feng Zisong was alone with two concubines in his arms, and there was a group of Yingying sitting beside her. Yanyan, this is very inappropriate.

"It's really not good enough." Xie Yan said.When she said this, Feng Zizhang suddenly remembered when he was young, when he was playing with Feng Zisong.

At that time, Feng Zisong was still the youngest daughter of Rencheng Wang Fenghao.Their birthdays were only one month apart, and their mother loved the clan, especially the lineage of King Ren Cheng who chose to be neutral in the civil war, so she brought Feng Zisong into the palace to raise them together.After Feng Zisong understood a little bit, she said to her all day long, "Oh, it will be different if you are young for a month. In the future, you will have the seat of the prince. I don't know where I will go."

There has never been a precedent for the clan to be canonized separately, and it is also to prevent the clan from growing up.Feng Zisong groaned to himself every day, with a "sister" on the left and a "sister" on the right, and he didn't want to talk to her at all, so when he got really annoyed, he said, "Feng Ziju is your real sister, I'm not."

At this time, Feng Zisong will say, yes, but Zizhang, your sister is the empress dowager, and she is going to be the emperor in the future, can you help me to beg her to give me a title when she ascends the throne? , Let me not suffer from hunger and cold.Nine-year-old Feng Zizhang smiled—the smile she would do today—and retorted: The king of Rencheng enshrined the country and the rich, how could you suffer from hunger and cold!

Later, before Feng Zihuan succeeded to the throne, Feng Zhao granted Feng Zisong the seat of a prince and the distant Luling Kingdom.Although she has never been to Luling in these years, she still found out from time to time in Jiankang's gossip and Feng Zisong's once-a-year congratulations that it was not unreasonable for this guy to worry about being hungry and cold since he was a child. It's really extravagant and extravagant.Just like the banquet and the dozens of concubines in front of me, just like Luling is not the richest but pays tribute to the most precious treasure every year.Feng Zisong has never been married, and she is not in a hurry to marry the princess. She is very happy to have fun with both men and women. It is said that a few years ago, she really recruited a few beautiful male pets, but later she felt annoyed and kicked them out together.

In their generation, the oldest is Feng Zibai, and the youngest is Feng Zisong.However, the indulgent guy in front of him doesn't look like a cypress, "soft" is almost the same.

"Yeah, useless guy," she said.Xie Yan glanced at her and smiled.

Such a person is obviously just a child who only knows how to play, so how could he rebel?

The two watched for a while, ready to decide whether to look for possible evidence by themselves according to the situation, but suddenly found a well-dressed man with a serious expression, all the guests stood up and bowed to him. Yu no doubt.Lu Yu stepped forward, separated a group of concubines, and whispered a few words to Feng Zisong, Feng Zisong immediately struggled out of the powder pile, asked everyone in the seat for leave, and then followed Lu Yu along the corridor to the other side of the palace .The two followed carefully on the beams of the house, and they met a man with long eyebrows and thin eyes and a fair face at the second corner.Hearing Feng Zisong call that person "Bo Ji", Feng Zizhang looked at Xie Yan, Xie Yan nodded, Feng Zizhang knew it was Lu Mao.

The three talked while walking, and Feng Zizhang and Xie Yan followed carefully on the roof.He probably heard all about their conspiracy.What is the situation of the surrounding people's requisition, how the front-line fortifications are being built, how much food and ironware have been collected, and Lu Yu has also calculated in detail how much iron is now available for recasting, how much can be processed every day, how much is needed, and when can be processed.Feng Zisong just listened, and didn't seem to understand what Lu Yu was talking about; Lu Hao didn't care at all, and interrupted Lu Yu when he couldn't wait, saying that he had written a good article, and the content probably didn't need to be revised, the point was to publish There are not enough channels.Lu Yu said it's okay, his brother's writing is the best in the world, and he won't worry about not being praised by the world when he sends it out.Also talking about the mobilization of border troops, Lu Yu said that the imperial court routinely mobilized some defenders every three years, so the movements on the border of Luling Kingdom would be hard to detect, and it should be safe.It also analyzes how to rationally allocate professional troops and recruit civilians.

Feng Zizhang really wanted to hear them talk about the specific military deployment, but that bastard Lu Mao interrupted his cousin again and changed the subject. Probably not.Lu Mao swears that both Gu and Sun can get it easily, and that the Lu family is nothing to be afraid of. If the Xie family is lucky, they will wait and see. As for the Cui family, "I've already been on the same level as that stupid lord!"

In the end, when Er Lu was about to leave, he told Feng Zisong that His Highness must remember to take time to burn our letters in the palace before the incident, and Feng Zisong agreed.

The two waited on the roof, waiting for Er Lu to go away, and waiting for Feng Zisong to return to her banquet.Unexpectedly, Fengzisong just didn't leave, just paced back and forth anxiously in the room; finally, he ordered someone to fetch a brazier.

Feng Zizhang knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so after the servant turned and walked out of the courtyard, the two jumped down and walked into the study. Xie Yan drew his long sword and placed it on Feng Zisong's neck, scaring the Luling king into a panic. Dare to move.Feng Zizhang snatched the rest of the letter, opened it and glanced at it. The signature was on the head, and there were a few lines of content. It was an email from Erlu to communicate with important officials of Jiankang and other aristocratic families. "Is there any more?" She asked Feng Zisong, Feng Zisong shook his head first, Xie Yan leaned the blade of the sword against her neck again, a cut was made on the fair and delicate skin, and a trace of blood flowed down.

"Yes! Yes!"

"Where?"

"In, in the dark compartment on the bookshelf!"

"Open it for us." Xie Yan said without emotion and had a very intimidating effect.Feng Zisong nodded, went to open the secret compartment with trembling hands, and gave Feng Zizhang the letter inside.After checking, Feng Zizhang accepted all of them, and then asked: "What else did you prepare for the rebellion, take them out together." Feng Zisong pointed to a locked ornate box in the room, and Feng Zizhang went to open it , I found that the dragon robe and jade seal were all there.But it is useless to take such things away, and it is easy to arouse suspicion, so the box is closed.

Just about to interrogate Feng Zisong in detail, a charming female voice was heard outside the door, asking why His Highness didn't return to the banquet.Feng Zisong was too frightened to say anything to stop her, so the woman pushed the door open and walked in, screaming and leaving immediately.

Seeing that the guards were approaching, Xie Yan let go of Feng Zisong, "I'll go and defend for a while!" Then he left the study to the two.Feng Zizhang drew out his dagger and put it on Feng Zisong's neck, and at the same time pulled down the veil to let Feng Zisong see clearly - this move was necessary, because Feng Zisong was not sure about this just now. The person was her sister who was only one month older than herself, and now she was sure that she was even more scared out of her wits—then said sharply: "You must not tell what happened today. If you cover it up for me, I will say something nice to the emperor. Otherwise, you can wait to beheaded. Conspiracy is already a serious crime, Fourth Sister will fight for you, and you have to find a way to control the situation after the incident, otherwise you will die if you follow the Lu family brothers! "

Feng Zisong nodded repeatedly, but the guards seemed to have come in, and after a while of shouting, they were quiet for a while, obviously being knocked down by Xie Yan.Feng Zizhang grabbed some waste papers on the desk and threw them into the brazier, then used his internal force to ignite the fire, quickly burning a considerable amount of ashes, and then put on a veil before letting Feng Zisong go. The soldiers who entered forced Xie Yan who had retreated to the door to break through the window and escape.

The warriors of the Luling Palace are not low in level, and they have undergone recent rigorous training and carry professional weapons. Once they have an advantage in numbers, they will follow closely.Xie Yan was at the back of the palace, while trying to escape, he had to be careful of the arrows that kept flying, and at the same time, he had to protect Feng Zizhang.Feng Zizhang tried his best to open the way ahead, and after a while he reached an open space near the stables, surrounded by ten warriors of different sizes and armed with different weapons.Without further ado, the leader, a man with a nine-section whip, shouted "Go up" in a low voice, and ten people launched a siege.All of a sudden, meteor hammer, short lance{74}, Yanyue knife and a pair of swords came to Xie Yan. The inner force was poured into the knife, and he chopped off the short lance stick with a single stroke, leaving a terrible wound on the chest of the lance holder, and then dodged to let go of the slashing of the crescent knife, and skillfully stabbed the man's chest from behind Then use sword to sword, sword to sword, separate the moves with both hands, after more than ten moves, cut off the sword holder's head and pierced the sword holder's chest; at this time, the meteor hammer hit the air, and she Folding the swords into a cross, he blocked it with great difficulty, and after blocking the person with all his strength, he picked up the enemy's sword from the ground with his feet and kicked it flying, which was another one.

At this moment, she saw that Feng Zizhang had dealt with four of them, and was struggling with the nine-section whip.Her left calf had been scratched, and there was a little blood.Seeing this, Xie Yan felt furious, clenched his molars, and without a word crazily attacked the nine-section whip holder.The man was very dexterous with the whip, and he easily entangled Xie Yan's knife, but he didn't expect it to be in his arms: Xie Yan didn't fight him, but stabbed at this person with his strength as if desperately. The speed was so fast, it was here Before the man repented, a sword pierced his throat.

At this time, the riding governor Wang Dian had already arrived, shouted and let go of the arrow.Feng Zizhang had already taken the opportunity to capture Feng Zisong's beloved horse, and the two rode away from the small gate specially set up by the palace for Feng Zisong's hunting, went straight to the outside of the city, and headed for the woods.

At this time, the pursuers were far better than the low-level cavalry that Feng Zizhang had encountered back then. Not only were they all holding guns and riding good horses, but they all came with the aim of killing people and exterminating them.Feng Zizhang was in front, afraid that Xie Yan would repeat Zhe Zhu's mistakes.Xie Yan dealt with the arrow rain in the back, and occasionally he could use his strength to fight back and kill individual pursuers.Even so, Xie Yan had to turn around to fight when pursuers appeared on both sides, and as a result, he was hit by two arrows whoosh on his back.

She gasped, feeling even more angry.She grew up so big, the last time she was hurt like this was when she was a child!In a fit of rage, she felt stones in the saddle bag, took them out, and used the best internal energy in her life to hit the stones like darts, hitting them all on the forehead, killing the pursuers.

Feng Zisong's favorite horse was astonishingly fast. When the two of them reached the woods, the hooves of the pursuers could no longer be heard.After getting into the carriage, the coachman quickly helped them up, then drove the carriage calmly, and left the woods quietly.Walk according to the selected safe route, and discuss with the two people in the car how to go back while walking.Feng Zizhang asked Xie Yan to lean on his leg to check the injury on Xie Yan's back: the arrow clusters penetrated deeply into the body, and even with the hemostatic powder, the effect was not good. The wound is torn.It must be too late to go back to Jian'an County now.

"Go south, to Nankang Country."

"Ah? But going to Nankang Country——"

"Don't worry about it! Just go! Come on!"

Feng Zizhang had never been so worried and lost his composure, Xie Yan thought, he could hear her voice trembling.

"You..." She tried her best to turn her head to look at Feng Zizhang, "You are not Li Zhang...you are the King of Nankang, Feng Zizhang."

She laughed, then passed out.

The author has something to say:

{74}The lance is generally about 4 meters (the ancient standard required more than 23 zhang 4.14 chi, the Han chi is about [-] centimeters, and the [-] zhang [-] chi is about [-] meters). The lance, so it is called a short lance.
