When Luo Weiran walked out of Chang'an City, he felt that his soul was gone. He dared not look back at the towering City, the flying fish robes that had been sent to the gate behind him, or even the people in the past.
When he was studying arts in the mountains, he felt that he should practice daily, understand the truth, see the sun, moon and stars, and smell the fragrance of birds and flowers like his master. In this way, day after day, year after year, light and comfortable. After practicing in the morning, it must be indescribable to cook a pot of tea and eat some sunflower seeds under the emerald trees outside the mountain house, accompanied by the rise and fall of clouds in the mountain. It was quiet and natural. At that time, he felt that this was the closest realm to the Tao of heaven.
But more than ten years ago, the second senior brother Xiang Qing argued and sent him to the world, which was the most cruel and cold place of intrigue. He was cautious and cautious at first, and then walked leisurely in the court. More than ten years passed in a hurry. Then I found that I was not a lonely person at all. Those elegant days in the mountains and forests were just self deception.
Otherwise, why do you invest so much?
It is because of investment that I feel the pain in my heart when I lose.
I have guarded the Imperial Guard Office for more than ten years, and I have guarded the faith for more than ten years.
Once dissipated, without a trace.
If he can cry, maybe he doesn't mind crying.
The little eunuch Mu San looked at him, and his face was as ugly as him. Those flying fish robes were full of hatred and anger, and their eyes stared at him, as if it was not the supreme sitting on the Dragon chair who drove Luo Weiran away, but his little eunuch like an ant. Mu San feels bitter in his mouth. It seems that something is blocking his throat. He can't cough up and swallow.
He touched the iron box hidden in his wide cuff, and his waist bent a little more involuntarily.
The box is in the cuff and the mountain is on his back.
He had always thought that even if he was an incomplete man and a cheap Eunuch in the eyes of others, he could also win a prosperous and beautiful future by fighting. Just like Wu Peisheng at the beginning, Su Buwei now. He wanted to stand beside the emperor in such a beautiful royal dress. Even if you bend down, you must be tall and straight in your heart, right?
But now, the thing in his sleeve is a knife.
He didn't know what kind of knife the emperor made, or who the knife was aimed at, but he knew that if one was not careful, the first blow of the knife would poke into his heart.
"Lord Luo..."
Mu Sany couldn't change his mouth, and he didn't feel anything wrong. He took a few steps to catch up with Luo Weiran and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty doesn't need to think too much. It's not necessarily a bad thing for your majesty to let you out of the city."
"What do you mean?"
Luo Weiran's body trembled fiercely. He stepped and looked at Mu San.
Mu San lowered his head and said in a low voice, "just remember, your majesty, this arrangement is not meaningful."
"Make it clear!"
"I can't tell you clearly. I have to go!"
Mu San sighed and looked around. No one paid attention to him. He jumped on the horse's back and whipped it hard with a whip. The horse hurt, hissed and rushed out. Luo Weiran saw that he suddenly left. His heart tightened and stood in place silent for a long time.
Until Mu San's figure had disappeared, Luo Weiran suddenly changed his face.
"I see!"
He murmured and strode away.
The flying fish robes gathered behind him shouted loudly that they would like to command to have a pleasant journey, and their voices were neat and deafening. Luo Weiran still didn't look back, his steps enlarged, his body gradually straightened out, and disappeared at the end of the official line of sight after a moment. Those flying fish robes stood outside the city gate for a long time.
Ten miles outside Yongzhou City
The three people in the official line were particularly eye-catching. In front of them was a small Taoist boy carrying a heavy burden. The burden seemed to be very heavy and bent down the shoulder pole. Followed by a trail boy, walking harder than his companions carrying a burden. He had to take a breath and sweat every step. The reason is that he carries a fat man on his back... A fat man who is not ugly but looks very beautiful.
"Can't you walk faster?"
The fat man said discontentedly, "Why are you so clumsy? Look, Xiaojun is still walking fast with such a heavy burden. Look at you, he can't catch up with him! You don't feel ashamed. I blush for you. How can people have no competitive heart? What's the difference between a man without competitive heart and salted fish?"
"Palm... Palm teacher... Show mercy, or let me carry the burden?"
"Bah!"
The fat man said solemnly: "I let you carry me on your back because I want to exercise you. A guy with a mouth full of nonsense called Fang Xie once told me a barely reasonable word. This is one of the few reasonable words he said. Let me think about how to say it... The day will bring great responsibility to such a person. You must first work hard, work hard and starve their skin... I think you are still a good person But the material of creation, you idiot, wasted my efforts in vain. "
"Thank you... Thank you for teaching me, but I really can't hold on."
Almost all the Taoist children who called Xiaomei fell down. I don't know whether the fat man was compassionate or afraid that Xiaomei would fall down. He jumped down from Xiaomei's back, sorted out his clothes, looked up at the big city where he could see the outline, and smiled: "bitch, I'm coming!"
Just at this time, a young man in royal clothes roared past them with a team of Armored Cavalry. The group of warriors looked very strong and strong, with a cold momentum. The headmaster has a slender figure and a pretty face. Riding on a tall horse, he looked natural and unrestrained. He looked back at the three Taoist priests and frowned slightly.
He looked at the fat Taoist, and the fat Taoist also looked at him.
The young childe's face was as white as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. There was no blood color. There was a cold killing intention in his eyes that seemed to rush out at any time, such as a poisonous snake.
At this moment, the fat Taoist was suddenly surprised.
There was a sudden pain on his forehead, as if something was going to drill out.
His heart almost stopped and his face turned white.
"Before leaving Chang'an City, master said to plant a Taoist heart for me... I didn't know what a Taoist heart was. Now I know..."
He stopped, glanced at the big city in front of him and suddenly turned around: "let's go. We won't go into the city."
"Why?"
Asked Xiaomei, panting heavily.
"There are demons in the city. I can't beat them."
The fat Taoist sighed, "come back when I've played."
"Master, you just said how can a man not be competitive? What's the difference between being competitive and salted fish? Even if he can't fight, he should try..."
"Come here!"
"Why..."
"I tell you the magic skill of slapping your face and closing your mouth!"

Huang Yangdao
Zhicheng Huiyang
Outside the west gate of Huiyang City is the newly-built Minyong camp, covering an area of five miles. The Minyong team was established by Yang yanye, governor of Huangyang road. In order to prevent the rebels on the North Bank of the huangniu River, he gave almost all of it. Everything that could be taken out of the Treasury was taken out. It took two years to train the 18000 people to become qualified soldiers.
The scale of 18000 people is already the limit of Huangyang road's ability to raise troops. In addition, 30000 County soldiers mobilized from all parts of Huangyang road are the main force of the whole Huangyang road defense line. Although the number of the rebels on the North Bank of the river is too much different from that of the rebels, with the morale that the home can't retreat behind them, they just lost in many clashes with the rebels.
Yang yanye is proud that he has formed such a team, but now, this team has become a big mountain blocked in his heart.
These Minyong County soldiers are good.
They are all men born and raised in Huangyang road. There are their families, their friends and their parents and villagers in this land. They took up weapons and stood on the South Bank of huangniu River to confront the rebels. Their purpose is different from the people's courage gathered in Gyeonggi road. The people in Gyeonggi do have a heart of meritorious service and are fighting for their future. The Minyong County soldiers in Huangyang road have only one purpose to pick up weapons.
Stand on the river bank and protect the home behind you.
Once they can't stop the rebels, the beautiful home that raised them will be destroyed. They all know the situation north of the huangniu river. Where the rebels pass is like the transit of locusts. As for money and food, if the rebels go to a place, where will there be any money and food if there is a natural disaster?
It is precisely because of this that the Minyong County soldiers of Huangyang road will stand by the river bank and never retreat.
But now, what is about to force them away is not the rebels on the Hebei bank, but the reinforcements they looked forward to before the stars and the moon, the left avant-garde of the great Sui Dynasty.
Yang yanye, governor of Huangyang Road, walked in the camp with several attendants. The pace was very slow and heavy. Those soldiers who still kept training saluted when they saw him, with heartfelt respect in their eyes. Although these days, the governor's tolerance of the left avant-garde has led to at least 200 people being forced to death by the left avant-garde, they all know that the governor actually has no way.
In front of hundreds of thousands of troops of the left avant-garde, the position of governor, which looks particularly bright and glorious, is actually as light as a grain of sand.
"My lord... Are you really going to dissolve Minyong?"
An official asked in a deep tone.
He looked at the soldiers and people who were brave and felt as bad as being cut by a knife.
"There's no other way..."
Yang yanye's heart is more bitter than anyone else.
"The left avant-garde people come to urge food every day. I have extended my hand to the rich families three times. Even if I go to ask for food again, the rich families are willing to give it, but they have almost emptied the granary. Yesterday, I vaguely mentioned how ugly their faces are... But if I don't give the left avant-garde food and grass, Luo Yao's people are afraid to be more presumptuous."
"I called these people together. Now I have dissolved them. My heart hurts more than anyone else."
Yang yanye sighed: "but there is really no food and grass. I can't let these people who are willing to follow me starve to death here in the end. Let them go home. It's time to farm and do business. At least they have no worries about food and clothing..."
"But don't you think that Luo Yao's purpose is to force you to dissolve Minyong?"
Leiwu, Cheng of Huiyang County, said eagerly: "Luo Yao's purpose is not to attack the rebels at all. Zuo Qianwei has been here for nearly a month, but they haven't seen them move against the rebels. For so long, except for the imperial envoy Fang from the capital, who dares to cross the river with his own soldiers and fight the rebels with real swords and guns, who else in Zuo Qianwei wants to go to war? According to his humble position, Luo Yao has a rebellious heart at all The purpose is to occupy our Huangyang road! "
"No nonsense!"
Yang yanye's face changed: "in this case, you can't say it again."
"My Lord!"
Li Huaili, the governor of Huiyang County, advised: "we can't dissolve Minyong. Once Minyong is dissolved, Luo Yao will be more unscrupulous. What he cares about now is the tens of thousands of fierce soldiers in our hands."
"Do not disband... Where did the food come from?"
Yang yanye said painfully, "is it difficult to watch them starve to death?"
"There will always be a way!"
Leiwu, the county magistrate, said, "wait a few more days... There is still some grain in the humble family. I'm willing to give it. My colleagues are willing to come."
At this time, a soldier quickly ran over and whispered a few words in Lei Wu's ear. Lei Wu's face changed. After hesitating, he went to Yang yanye and whispered, "Fang Xie is waiting for you in Wanhe building in the city. See or not?"
"See you!"
Yang yanye was silent for a moment and said, "in the left avant-garde, the only one who is not in line with Luo Yao is this man... Maybe the way is this man. Since his majesty sent him as an imperial envoy, no matter how young he is, his majesty trusts him. At this time, he wants to see me, and it is expected that it is also for this matter."
