Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Fourteen years of Taiyuan (390 AD), February, Jingkou.

Garlic Mountain, Qili Township, Liujia Village.

Since the Battle of Feishui, great changes have taken place in the administrative area of ​​Jingkou. A large number of Beifu Army soldiers have moved here, and Liu Yu, as the first warrior of the Beifu Army, has more people to take refuge in him. The villages where they lived were also renamed Liujia Village, including Tan Pingzhi, Wei Yongzhi and other temporary residents who had previously lived in towns specializing in resettlement of northern expatriates. They also moved to these villages. The yellow book, which turned into yellow paper that was soaked with professional mothproofing paper, means that its identity has changed from a temporary overseas nationality to an official citizen of Dajin.

A young man in his twenties, carrying a hoe, walked into the official road from the field. His complexion, due to his long years of work in the sun, became yellow and black, and his raised muscles showed him again. Like everyone here, after years of rigorous military training, you can see from his walking posture that he has a strong figure and firm pace, but if you see his face under the hat, you will be surprised. This face is full of book gas, and even the color on the neck is different from his body. If he puts on a long gown and robes, no one will doubt that this is a white-faced scholar.

The black-and-white farmer, after embarking on the official road, glanced subconsciously towards the end of the official road. This is his daily movement in the past ten years. He has become a habit, filled with hope, and gazing at the village entrance. The moment I became disappointed again.

A yin and yang strange voice sounded from the other side of the official road: "Liu Daogui, what do you hope? The person you want to wait for will never come back!"

This white-faced farmer is Liu Dao, Liu Yu ’s third younger brother. When Liu Yu first joined the army ten years ago, he was just a child under ten years old. Today, he has grown into an excellent stick boy and benefits from being at the Xie family. In those years of foster care, Xie An specially arranged a famous teacher to teach him reading and writing, so Liu Daojie had much higher cultural literacy than his elder brother, and later entered the Beifu Army for strict training. It can be said to be a complete combination of culture and martial arts. Until the Beifu Army defeated the Northern Expedition three years ago, he and all the soldiers were sent home together. For the past ten years, he looked at the official way of the village entrance every day, hoping that the familiar figure appeared again Has become a part of his life.

Liu Daojiu gritted his teeth and looked at the sound. He only heard a gong and drum, a team of hundreds of people, crowded in front and back, Diao Xie's face was as thick as he came to Beijing in the early years. The white powder, and the guards in front and back in the clothing of the public service are different from those of the family's Dingqu that were dog legs at first sight. They are all powerful and muscular, and they are mostly veterans of the Beifu Army. This can be proven from Liu Yi, who is riding behind him.

Diao Xie stopped the horse, just over ten steps before Liu Daogui, he touched the two mouse whiskers on his upper lip and smiled: "Liu Daogui, you probably do n’t know, ten years ago, it was almost exactly the same here. The official is also relative to your elder brother. At that time, he was not sensible, and he did not know the reason why the envoys had to kneel. You are a scholar. What should you do when you meet Shangguan? "

Liu Daojiu hooked the corner of his mouth, took a hoe, and walked to the side of the road, standing on the hoe: "Caomin Liu Daojie, courtesy Diao Changshi."

Diao Xie's complexion changed, Shen said: "Well, you are Liu Daogui, when you see the chief, you don't even kneel, what do you want to do?"

Liu Daojiu said aloud: "The court has a decree, all the soldiers and soldiers of the Beibei Army, and their families, can see that the officials are free from kneeling. My eldest brother is the first warrior of the Beifu Army, and everyone in the world knows. You do n’t have to kneel when you meet the prime minister. "

Diao Xie laughed: "That's a soldier who has contributed to the court, but your family is not here, don't forget, Liu Daojie, your eldest brother, once had such a small contribution, but already feared sin You have defected to foreign enemies. As for you, although you have joined the army, you have not made any contribution, so you must kneel when you see this officer! "

Liu Daojiu raised his head and looked firm. On this white face, five points are equivalent to Liu Yu. The stubbornness and calmness brought by the same mother in the same child are almost the same. He said calmly: "Diao Changshi, you are the court Life officer, Jingkou parents, you are responsible for your speech. What evidence do you have to say that your brother is guilty of treason? When did the imperial court give an order saying that my brother is a traitor of the country? "

Diao Xie temporarily stopped talking, stutteringly said: "Hum, dare to blame the people, and dare to argue that your eldest brother was in the battle of Yecheng and ended up alone in the enemy army. This has been seen by hundreds of people. Over the years, the news Nothing, no sending people to report, it ’s not a defection from an enemy country, what is it? "

Liu Daojiu laughed: "Long history is a big fallacy. If my elder brother treasoned and enemies, he would also pull all his comrades to surrender. Why should he stay and cover his retreat? What's more, he left himself before After the break, thousands of enemies were killed, and even the enemy's country was terrified. How could such a person betray the country? He has been unable to return for all these years. I think there must be a reason, and the court never gave up his rescue and treatment. I'm inquiring about the whereabouts. Before the court had no conclusion, you would buckle him such a hat of treason and enemies, wouldn't it make all the soldiers in the North House cold? "

Diao Xieqi was desperately corrupted ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The whip swung hard in the air twice: "Well, you are a sharp-eyed boy, don't teach you, I really don't know what is up and down, come, give me ... ... "

Liu Yi on the side suddenly said: "Diao Changshi, you are a court official, why do you want to breathe a farmer kid here, this does not match your identity." Speaking of which, he lowered his voice, "long History, do n’t make a big mistake because we are small. This time we are here to do things. It is not worth it to provoke the civil unrest for Liu Yu. Besides, the old brothers may not believe that Liu Yu really treasoned to vote against the enemy. "

Diao Xiegan coughed twice: "Liu Daogui, your eldest brother is a hero or a traitor. I believe that the court has its own public opinion. The official does not care about you for the time being, but this time the official came here to practice the royal court, your family tax, It has been owed for three years, and I have been resisting it. Today, the official is here to urge you, as well as the tax-resistant people, to pay taxes. Eat our food, use our food, steal our food, pass it to me Spit it out! "He said more and more intensely. Suddenly, what he saw was like a stabilization method, and he froze immediately, his mouth wide open, as if he had seen a ghost, only his fingers were left, pointing straight Forward.

Liu Yu's voice slowly sounded from the other end of the official road, and the general figure of the tower stood in front: "Diao Changshi, I haven't seen it in a few years, congratulations on his promotion, but please advise me about this tax. At that time, the military of Jingkou also had to pay taxes? "
