Zhui Xu

"...Oh, old man, I was originally from Huzhou, and I used to be regarded as a family of poems and books. In the past two years of fighting the fair party, there was originally the territory of King Gao Tian, ​​and last winter, the fair king who killed a thousand knives It was a good day, but when a fight broke out, Huzhou was in chaos. The old man and his family packed up their things and headed south. On the way, my son and daughter-in-law... disappeared..."

"Hey, old Hu, who isn't... That fair king is a bastard, let me tell you, I heard that he was..."

"Killing a thousand swords! I am also stupid, old, stupid! What can I carry with me? With a pile of books like this, my son and daughter-in-law died in vain just to keep these books..."

"Speaking of which, my elder brother and sister-in-law are righteous, Laohu, although I don't like books very much, I know that books are good things..."

"What a good thing. No one wants it. No one wants it. When we get here, we still have to sell it. No one wants it... By the way, two young masters, the old man's surname is Xu..."

"How come no one wants it, some people want it, some people want it, Laohu, so, I will use this dagger to exchange you for a book, and there is also something you like at my stall, just ask, and we will exchange one for each other Instead, it’s really not good for you to bring all the books, and it’s too heavy, Laohu..."

The sun was setting, and in the small camp behind Xianxia Pass, Ning Ji and Qu Longjun set up a stall and failed to sell much turnover. They were idle, but they turned around and hit it off with the white-haired middle-aged man who was selling books. Together, first one-sided, then two-sided chatting enthusiastically.

I found some curios that looked good and were easy to carry. By the way, I took a half-dried rabbit and exchanged a few ancient books.

This white-haired middle-aged man who claims to be old is obviously a book lover. However, at this age, his family members are all dead, and books have become a burden. I bought a few good-looking books for entrustment. He almost traded his life for these books, but at the entrance of the customs, no one wants them. His emotions are basically chaotic, and he is embarrassed if he can't sell them.

"...There are not many people who are really knowledgeable at this Xianxia pass...There are some people who miss it, but if you do, you still have to see if you can get to Jian'ou...You two, you should be careful."

It has been a few days since he came to this camp. First, he struggled to accept the past of his family's death, then he struggled to accept the reality that he was still alive, and then he struggled to face the future of selling the book. His whole body was broken. It must have been a while since he hadn't had much normal communication with people. At this moment, the two young people were friendly, so he looked around and whispered about his observations in the past few days. The neatly dressed handsome son Qu Longjun's eyes lit up: "Who is Mr. Xu referring to?"

"...Fujian has seven mountains, two rivers, and one field. This trip to the south is all mountain roads... People who fled here with their families have some good things, real things for sale, but they want to get a high price for them. There are actually not many people who are serious about buying here... In this place, many people are waiting for their wealth to be revealed, and they can't buy it, or they have been taken by someone else, just do it on the way... The two young masters previously You should have heard that the road is not smooth when you enter the customs... You have so many things, so be careful."

The white-haired middle-aged man said so, Qu Longjun clasped his fists: "Thank you, Mr. Xu." Ning Ji stretched out his hand and patted the other's shoulder: "Haha, Lao Hu is righteous, I understand, I understand, look at our brothers The outfits of the two, Jiangnan is in such a mess, didn’t they come all the way, and there are a few puppies in Fuzhou—don’t be afraid!” Then he gave the other half an extra rabbit as a thank you gift, very grandiose.

Giving away food is a real big deal, the middle-aged man got half an extra rabbit, and he didn't know what to say in the face of this careless fool, but Mr. Qu Long, at this moment, collected more information, and walked aside to talk to Ning Ji discussed: "It's the same as the gentleman who passed the customs said, why is the place where the orthodox court is so chaotic, Xiaolong, do you already know?"

"I've already seen it when I came in." Ning Ji sat there with a low laugh, "Look at the big stupid guy at the street corner here, a few people came over, a few people who were sleeping on straw mats and playing with mud, on the other side the tea The two people at the back of the booth...there are people behind them. It doesn't matter if you look at it, just look openly, if he dares to stare at you, just stare at him. We have all our weapons on our bodies, so we have to have

The aura of a master, otherwise people will really bully them... These people are all stalking, whoever really brought something, as long as it is not sent to the two pawnshops, they will be followed on the road. If you don’t go to Fuzhou, I'm afraid I still can't tell who the baby belongs to, hehe..."

Qu Longjun glanced at every place on the street calmly and indifferently. When he lowered his head, he sighed: "That's right... Actually, when the Jurchens drove the big guys to Lin'an, there were many such things. It's just that I Still young..."

"This is called reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles."

The two are currently dressed as Qu Longjun who is knowledgeable and arrogant, and Ning Ji is careless and uneducated, but in fact, the two of them have always been dominated by Ning Ji, a cold and cold little military doctor, at this time they said something simple There are also philosophical sentences, and after receiving an admiring nod from Mr. Qu Long, Ning Ji jumped up vigorously from the ground again, dancing his hands into noodles in the setting sun: "Baby—" he shouted loudly.

"A treasure from Jiangnan! Fellow villagers! Come and have a look, uncles, aunts, aunts, aunts, and aunts. You can trade in cash or barter. Don't miss it when you pass by. If you find it, you will make money—"

This kind of shout made many people in the camp couldn't help but look sideways. They didn't know where the idiot came from. He looked lively and innocent, but looking at the double knives on his back, he seemed to be a bit difficult to provoke. Everyone He pressed his doubts and apprehensions deep into the depths of his eyes. After a while, Mr. Qu Long had no choice but to shout: "Selling things! Selling things..."

-----------------

Most of the things sold on this day were needles, threads, and scattered rags. When the sun set, torches gradually lit up in the camp, and large bonfires were lit in several streets where crowds gathered.

Ning Ji and Qu Longjun found a nearby open space, pitched a small tent, and lit a fire to cook. After eating and washing the pots and bowls, Qu Longjun sat on the ground and calculated the amount of today's income with Ning Ji, and then drew a map of the road going south on the ground, hesitatingly planning how to get to Jian'ou Or the route of Fuzhou. In Qu Longjun's original study, there are hundreds of miles of Xianxia ancient roads and stretching mountains. There are many places that can be visited, but if this place is not flat, the entire itinerary plan must be modified to a certain extent.

Ning Ji was not in a hurry, and said that he would check it out in the next two days.

It doesn't take long to wait for the opportunity to explore.

In the middle of the night, someone approached their tent.

Ning Ji's flamboyance during the day attracted the attention of many people, and the first one to touch him at night was a tall man who had been stalking him on the street. He opened the curtain of the tent and saw two sleeping figures inside, and then he bent down to flip over the big package beside him, only halfway down, a hand behind grabbed his mouth and nose, and His entire upper body was dragged and flew backwards, firmly and silently pressed to the ground, and then a knife stabbed the side of his body.

The big tall man wanted to struggle, but the hand pinching his nose and nose was as hard as steel, almost breaking his skull directly. The young man looked at him with cold eyes: "Don't move, it's all right now, If you dare to move again, I will turn the knife around."

The knife stabbed in from the side didn't hurt his internal organs, but if he turned it around, he was basically not far from death.

This big tall man has a strong body, and he was considered a ruthless person in the past, but at this moment, knowing that he had encountered a real hard point, he gave up struggling, and the other party slowly moved away the hand that was pressing on his face, and walked aside In the tent, the handsome scholar who looked more aloof and cold during the day came out with a sword in hand. The demeanor of a master behind the scenes.

[In view of the general environment,

"This... in this camp, no killing is allowed..." the tall man said tentatively.

The boy who pushed him to the ground slapped him with a backhand.

"It all depends on the person, brother's craftsmanship, chop you into eighteen pieces, and I guarantee that no one will find out who did it." He held up his hand, "Okay, let's talk, let's talk about the situation on Xianxia Road. , let me explain everything in detail..."

The other party explained in detail.

After a long time, the other party pressed the wound on his ribs and walked away into the darkness with difficulty.

The publicity during the day was not wasted. That night, two friends who took the initiative to confess the information came one after another. After a general investigation, Ning Ji and Qu Longjun also investigated the situation of the Xianxia Ancient Road, and even So I have a general understanding of the situation of the entire Fujian Road.

Since ancient times, the roads in the mountains have been mostly dangerous. Even in the peaceful and prosperous age of the Jurchens in the future, the Xianxia Ancient Road cannot be called completely peaceful. Some bandit villages are scattered among them, and they come out from time to time to beat the autumn wind, and occasionally they are conquered by the government. On the other hand, there are a lot of big clans living in Fujian. Some villages and clans in the mountains set up cards to enrich themselves during peacetime.

Now that Jiangnan has fallen, the refugees have moved further south and entered Fujian Road. Various forces sensed the interests and sent people to follow them. This was originally a scenario that also happened in Jiangnan more than ten years ago. It’s just that Fujian has a special geography. There are only two roads entering Fujian from the north. On the Xianxia Ancient Road, in order to clear the passage for merchants and refugees, the little emperor sent Han Shizhong’s Zhen Haijun to clear the Fuou Road and Xianxia Road. It stands to reason that Dongnanyue and Han have strong soldiers and horses, and they specialize in guarding the mountain roads. They should be able to capture the bandits easily, but I don't know why. Including the unclear part of the lake.

Among the two who walked together, Qu Longjun was familiar with poetry and books, and had experienced a lot of world affairs, but after all, he had not experienced professional military and political edification, so he was not so keen on some things. Although Ning Ji is ignorant here, but in the Huaxia Army, he has been exposed to high-level thinking, and he has already received various trainings in interrogating and pinpointing details. This morning before dawn, when the two were sitting in the tent to discuss , he frowned solemnly.

"...It stands to reason...According to what we say in the Southwest, today the world wants to be strong and strong, and the more promising path taken by several forces is to mobilize the people. The small court in the southeast is doing something strange, but in reality The above is to support the newcomers to fight the old ones, and to support the young forces to fight the old ones. According to the news in Jiangning last year and the beginning of this year, the little emperor took power before and moved his hands against several big families, big households, and big businessmen. , the fighting situation is not bad, it should have taken back some power. But this time, why is the confrontation on Xianxia Dao even more fierce? These bandits all call the government officials "yellow dogs" , I almost didn’t say that I was a righteous man, what’s going on, the masses haven’t been mobilized, the bandits haven’t been wiped out, they’re all blatantly ostentatious here, is Han Shizhong just a showman…”

The previous cross-examination of the three people was mainly about the division of bandit villages and roadblocks on the Xianxia Ancient Road. Mr. Qu Long did not expect that "Brother Xiaolong" would think of such a big thing from those side-by-side details, and he admired it in his heart. Then he frowned and thought about it.

"I've always heard that the clans in Fujian have a lot of power and are stable, and many places are conservative and self-styled. Maybe even if you want to mobilize the masses, it's not that simple in these places. Here... Your Majesty, you want to take power down, show it clearly The big family on the scene may not be able to stop his soldiers, but if they really show their chariots and horses, there are many people who are secretly doing bad things. Could it be that General Han didn't fight, but he really couldn't be defeated..."

"Oh."

In the darkness, Ning Ji thought for a while, then sat there and blinked his eyes.

"That would be interesting..."

-----------------

Calculating and imagining the situation in Fujian can only be regarded as thinking in leisure time. As far as the two are concerned, the most realistic problem for UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is how to arrange the route to Fuzhou in the south. The two stayed in the camp for two more days, and on March 15th, they left Xianxia Pass with the brigade escorted by the naval forces of Xiaobo Town, heading south along the mountain road, but after walking for half a day, they left again. The brigade went to the surrounding mountains to find a place to explore.

The purpose of the two going south was to travel around. After crossing the Xianxia Mountains, the mountains of Fujian were vast and magnificent, and there were many scenic spots in the books. Ning Ji had already received various trainings for survival in the wild. The jujube horse is walking along the hidden mountain road that is almost undetectable in the mountains.

It was late spring at this time, the trees in the mountains were lush, wild flowers were blooming, and the clouds gathered in the sky, which was also unpredictable. There was occasional rain in spring, and the two

They held hands and walked hand in hand. Sometimes they took refuge in the depression under the cliff, set up tents, and lit a fire. They would rather avoid hunting some game and roasting it on the fire, and the aroma was overflowing. Sometimes they have to take off their clothes and dry them by the fire. Mr. Qu Long wears a close-fitting small coat and a coat. He looks delicate and charming. Sometimes he chooses a place where a stream flows. Soaking his feet into the stream, the two laughed and talked, and occasionally Qu Longjun sang softly. Although the road of the journey is difficult, the hearts of both of them are filled with a feeling of warmth and freedom.

In this way, at the end of March, the two met another green forest person in the mountains beside the Xianxia Ancient Road.
