Chapter 232: ten times refused

Chapter 232: ten times refused

This Bei Di Youyong went to the homes of those who had cooked and had no time to eat, and took out food to share, and then searched for the cellar under the orders of Albuhan. However, the tunnel entrance is not the original location of the cellar, and it is much more secretive.

The people hiding in the tunnels have gathered to an underground meeting point in the south of the village, where there is a hidden vent.

Zhao Cong asked dozens of young men in the village if the traps in the tunnel had been set up.

Zhao Cong said: "I guess they are almost finished eating at this time. The men will go back to the tunnel entrance of each house first. If they can't find the entrance, you will deliberately make a little noise and lead them down the tunnel."

"Yes, Lord Jun." Dozens of young and strong men responded, and then returned from the crossing.

Zhao Cong said: "Junior sister, you are going to the passage to the north now. If we can cause damage to them, I am afraid that some fish who slip through the net will give up, and they will run back. You are waiting five miles away, and you can intercept them. live with them."

Chong Lan smiled and said, "I'm going."

"etc!"

"Anything else?"

"be careful."

Chong Lan cut and said, "Just rely on them? What kind of heart do you have?"

With that said, holding the lantern, he turned and ran towards the north passage. She and Zhao Cong designed and supervised the construction of the tunnels of this village, so she was very familiar with them.

When Bei Di Youyong entered the village, it was impossible for the looters to be concentrated in one family. Of course, they would loot their own, but more people would go to the bigger houses, and fewer people would go to the smaller houses.

They also found people in various houses one after another, jumping off for money and killing people, and then there was no more.

When Wang Shuisheng arrived at the entrance of his own tunnel, he regretted setting the tunnel in a thatched hut. He quietly stuck his head out, and faintly heard the Beidi people making a fuss in his house.

Wang Shuisheng's heart was pounding, and he was about to let out a cry when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and he saw a tall warrior Bei Di running over to the hut with his stomach covered.

It's not that people have this quality and don't want to pollute their homes, but the thatched hut is a little shaded and smelly, and few people come to disturb it when it's convenient.

Wang Shuisheng hurriedly turned his head back, with the wooden plank on his head, peeking through the gap, only to see that the Beidi man didn't use his big wooden barrel to sit in the pit, and directly took off his pants and threw himself on the ground.

That Beidi man also turned his **** towards Wang Shuisheng, making Wang Shuisheng want to vomit.

Wang Shuisheng secretly said: This is not the kind of poison that the girl gave to everyone, right? But he didn't have time to take it. This person must have eaten someone else's food. Who would have given the medicine so quickly while escaping?

Wang Shuisheng has been hunting since he was a child, and now he has learned a few kung fu tricks from Chong Lan. Seeing that the man was pulling a **** there, and no one from outside would come in, he was bold, quietly lifted the lid, and touched the ground.

He took a few steps over and slashed the neck of the diarrhoea Beidi man with a hatchet, blood spattered. Because he was too nervous, the Beidi man didn't have time to make a sound, so he screamed out in fright.

Hearing the questioning from the Beidi people not far away, Wang Shuisheng wanted to run away in a hurry, but it might be because he was inexperienced in hacking people and did not cut off his neck, and the knife was still stuck between his neck.

The blood spurted terrifyingly again, and he couldn't help screaming as he pulled the knife back, and his **** fell to the ground.

Hearing a sound from under the door of the thatched hut, three people from Beidi came. Wang Shuisheng hurriedly got into the tunnel entrance. At this time, it was not that he deliberately did not cover the wooden board, but that he was so scared that he forgot.

It wasn't until he got down the tunnel that he felt more at ease, picked up the lantern from the side and walked to the tunnel to the south.

But they said that as soon as the three Bei Di Youyong entered the hut, they saw a comrade who died tragically, and they also discovered the entrance of the cave.

"That's outrageous! It's too unjust for you to die!

"The cellar is here! The Han people are hiding underneath!"

"Go and get revenge on the mediator!"

If this goes on, the light will never be seen again.

Chong Lan's speed was very fast, and in less than two minutes, he ran to the tunnel entrance of Wuli North of the village and climbed out.

She waited here for half an hour when she saw seven or eight You Yong riding horses running in this direction, with a panicked expression.

Zhong Lan pretended to be delicate and weak, as if seeing them very unexpectedly.

Abuhan suffered an unprecedented and strange thing. He also went down the tunnel and saw his companions die inside. He sensitively judged that the situation was unfavorable and there was an ambush, so he took the seven cavalry to flee back first.

When I saw a beautiful village girl over there, I couldn't help but feel moved.

"You can't lose so many brothers in vain!" Saying that, he galloped towards Zhonglan, and he was about to take someone on the horse and kidnap him.

Five steps away from her, Chong Lan pulled out a long sword as soon as he lifted his skirt and jumped to swing the sword.

At the critical moment, Abuhan raised his sword to block, but Chonglan's sword was like a rainbow, and the sword was sharp, and it cut Abuhan's sword.

When his companion saw that Abhan Mauk was attacked, he quickly drew his bow. Chong Lan knew that he could not use magic to deal with mortals, otherwise all his practice and achievements would be in vain.

So, she rode on Abuhan's horse, raised Abuhan's body with one hand to block the arrow feathers, and rushed to the nearest two You Yong.

She smashed Abuhan's corpse full of arrows of her own at one person, smashed the person to the ground, and stabbed the other You Yong with her sword.

Then five arrows shot out one after another, and Chong Lan danced the sword so tightly that it didn't leak.

The remaining three couldn't help but be intimidated by the bravery of this beautiful girl and strong man, and rushed to escape for their lives.

Chong Lan picked up a bow and arrow from a native of Beidi, chased her horses, waited until she was more stable, and shot down two people nearby with her bow one after another.

Chong Lan stepped up his horse-riding pursuit, chased him out for twenty miles, and when he caught up with him, he picked up his sword and fell, beheading him off the horse.

Chong Lan packed the family's head, and then led the other party's horse back to the village.

By the time Chong Lan returned to the village, Zhao Cong had come out of the air vent in the concentration area in the south of the village, and the villagers had also come out of the tunnel one after another.

Zhao Cong saw blood on her cotton clothes, and hurriedly asked, "Junior sister, are you alright?"

Chong Lan threw Di Ren's head on the ground, jumped off the horse, and said, "What can I do? Is everyone all right?"

Zhao Cong smiled and said: "Not bad, there are still a few villagers who haven't come out of the hole, but the most people I know are injured a little bit, no casualties."

Although it is impossible for the common people to have the martial arts of kindling and cut off the way of retreat of the Di people, it has also been proved by practice that the tunnel is enough for the common people to protect themselves.

Not only to protect themselves, but also to effectively kill the Di people's You Yong.

Unless a large army of the Di people dares to come here to station, and then dig soil for the people of a village.

But if the Di people did this, they would just give up their cavalry advantage. Didn't they stay here and wait for Brother Yue's troops to attack the camp?

Zhao Cong said: "If each village can learn 50% of this, the border people will not be afraid of them coming to farm the grass valley. After a few years, will the Beidi people dare to come and farm the grass valley again? Good fields can move more people to Hebei.”

Chong Lan said: "You think as far as the uncle of the master. For me, you asked a few people to go to the north to bring back the other six war horses. This time they lost their wife and lost their soldiers. We picked dozens of horses. The war horse, let's dedicate it to our uncle."

Zhao Cong smiled and said, "Junior sister wants to take credit."

Chong Lan said: "What? No way?"

Zhao Cong said: "I don't usually see Junior Sister worrying about anything, but if you go to Master Uncle's place to ask for credit, you have to fight for it."

...

Zhang Su knew it was still two days later, and Zhao Cong wrote a report.

Zhang Su couldn't help being overjoyed, so he asked Yue Langjun to discuss.

When Yue Langjun saw the report, he happily said, "They have made a lot of credit!"

Zhang Su tapped the table with his finger and said, "Every year the Privy Council spends a lot of money on the purchase of war horses. Xiaoyue, I will write a statement to return to Beijing, and ask the Privy Council to strip you of a reserve fund for the purchase, which will be specially paid to The people buy the war horses they have captured. There won't be many, if there are countless people who killed the enemy and robbed other people's war horses to sell, you should collect them first."

Yue Langjun was taken aback and said, "Uncle Shi is going to spend money to buy horses from the common people?"

Other officials just want the common people to provide war horses to the court. How can someone in the court actually get the right guidance from the common people. Who doesn’t want to take credit for this title?

Zhang Su put his hands behind his back, walked a few steps, and said, "I want to let the people in the frontier know about this, and let them understand that as long as the tactics are used well, the Beidi people are not so scary. Kill the Beidi people and fight back. Their war horses can make money and increase the enthusiasm of the people to kill the enemy and **** the horses. The dynasty lacked good war horses, and mosquito meat is also meat. But war horses cannot be fake. We only recognize war horses for the people, not heads. , no loss at all.

Yue Langjun is worthy of being a talent, and he immediately grasped the main point: "Only recognize war horses and not heads, then you can prevent the wicked among the people from killing the good and taking credit. At least reduce the harm of this active policy by half."

Decades ago, the imperial court reformed and tried to become stronger, but the policy with the purpose of good has all changed shape. So in feudal society it is very dangerous to be smart and easy to establish new rules.

Zhang Sudao: "The horses from the south are different from the horses from the north, so you take care of the increase and decrease of the Hebei army's horses, so as to prevent someone from playing such a black-hearted business. That is a good policy."

The Hebei Army is the northernmost army. The cavalry and war horses of the Hebei Army are the best horses that the Di people have captured, while the horses in the south, except for the Gyeonggi Imperial Army, are not so good.

Zhang Su asked the accompanying text to write a summary, reported this small good news, and wrote down her ideas. On the other hand, he was going to order someone to inform other warriors and bring some village representatives to visit and study in that village.

Ten days later, Zhang Su brought his entourage in person, held a commendation meeting for the villagers there, and delivered a speech.

Then, on the spot, people came to appraise the northern war horses. After confirming the quality, they brought more than 5,000 guans of money and bought horses from the people of this village at a price of 100 guans per horse.

The people of this village were naturally very pleasantly surprised, and even the representatives of the people from other villages could not help but envy, wishing that the Di people robbed their village.

At the study meeting, the village representatives of the village told everyone what happened after the "ghosts entered the village", and the village representatives who came to visit listened with great interest.

Then, according to Zhang Su's request, Zhao Cong summed up the gains and losses for everyone, in order to make progress, and initially summarized various local methods and details in actual combat.

After this round of operations, it spread very quickly in the frontier villages and towns. Everyone learned how to use the tunnel to defeat the Di people. Everyone knew that if they grabbed the Di people's horses, the officers and soldiers would spend money to buy them.

The Yue family's army in Tuntian, Hebei, had a good reputation. At this time, the Lord Protector of the Country came out and performed "a thousand pieces of gold to buy bones", and the people were even less suspicious.

Zhang Su's use of money, rather than empty responsibilities to the people, allowed the people to basically overcome their fear of the Di people and become more confident.

After all the warriors finished their grassroots work, it was also the autumn harvest season. Zhang Su then slightly adjusted the positions of Wu Jinshi according to their work performance, and then filled them into the army of the 100,000 Yue family.

The northern tour has also come to an end, Zhang Su is going back to Beijing. After the autumn harvest, the various transshipment envoys and the newly established customs will send the autumn taxes and customs into Beijing. . Finance and accounting in this era are very sketchy, without her leading someone to preside over the overall situation, I am afraid that the progress is limited.

Zhang Su was reluctant to part with her son, and she rubbed his hair.

Zhang Tianxin said: "Mother will only leave tomorrow, and I will still see her tomorrow."

Zhang Sudao: "Tianxin, don't blame your mother for being cruel. You are still so young, I will keep you at the border. But only at the border will you have a better chance to complete your robbery."

Zhang Tianxin said: "Mother, you have said it many times, and I remember it all. Although I have to go through a calamity, I can't kill innocent creatures indiscriminately, but only on the battlefield. You can't use spells on mortals. The army has not yet entered. Before Bei Di, the deeper you go, the more restricted your spells will be, and even I can't be spared. People who worship the moon will be very dangerous, so don't take risks lightly."

Zhang Su nodded and said, "You have only been with me for a year, and you are going to be separated again. Mother and father are not by your side, don't be sad, no matter if you are an immortal or a mortal, you still have to walk your own way. But we are very Love you."

Zhang Tianxin understood that before he completed this practice, he couldn't just fly back to Kyoto or Kunlun to see his parents for personal affairs.

The next day, Zhang Suqing went back to Beijing from Chejian. Although Zhang Tianxin did not leave with her, Cen Biqing, Zhao Cong, Chong Lan, Li Bilian and others all returned to Beijing with her.

Zhang Su didn't waste manpower either, setting up the honor guard of the county master to drive, and everyone still returned to Beijing on horseback.

Arriving in the capital in a few days, the empress who knew the news in advance brought hundreds of officials to greet him out of the city. Zhang Su made a thorough etiquette, and quickly dismounted to see,

All the kings and ministers are happy.

When returning to Beijing on the second day of the Great Dynasty, Zhang Su told the emperor and ministers about the situation of the northern patrol, including the construction of joint defense of the northern border cities, the number and level of training of soldiers, the situation of the people in the fields, the situation of the Beidi people at the border, etc. Wait.

Zhang Su asked for a sum of money to go down as a reserve fund to buy horses from the common people, and he was not made poor by the three ministers. In fact, although the imperial court at this time was light and thin, it was really not that poor compared to before the city was broken.

Because the number of officials of the royal family, nobles and relatives to be raised by the imperial court is much smaller, the gold and silver jewelry that were robbed of the East Route Army last time, and the five million taels of gold negotiated and destroyed. After the arrival of the puppet regime, it was obtained from the homes of its false emperors and officials. In fact, these money are the wealth accumulated over the centuries by the wealthy families of the imperial family in Kyoto.

In addition to these, the annual fiscal revenue is also enough to distribute stipends and military rations. The poll tax and field tax in the north are reduced, but the income of the salt and iron company and the cotton textile business who have expanded their operations has increased, supplementing half of the lost income.

After retreating from the court, the emperor called her to the study to talk about the adoption of Zhao Cong. Zhang Su didn't show that he couldn't wait to help Ziwei Xing come to the throne, but that would have lost the emperor's heart.

Zhang Sudao: "The emperor's consideration is also very far-reaching. Emperor Taizong's weak clan is indeed detrimental to the stability of the society. The emperor can adopt an heir, but there is no need to establish a prince too early."

The emperor was really relieved, and said, "I will train him for a few more years, and I will have greater ability and performance, and I will wait for him to accept the concubine and give birth to a child before I can make him the prince with peace of mind."

Zhang Sudao: "If the emperor has a successor, after the Northern Expedition is completed, I will also retire with peace of mind."

The emperor said again: "Although I don't want to kill too much, but the Di people have betrayed their promises, so the hatred of the country and the family has to be repaid. The great cause of the Northern Expedition is also my wish."

Zhang Su smiled and said: "The emperor is flourishing in spring and autumn, no accident, the great cause of the Northern Expedition can be expected in ten years, and I would like to try my best to assist the emperor in fulfilling his wish."

The emperor thought to himself: As long as the Northern Expedition is completed and Bei Di is destroyed, after Qianqiu, future generations will regard him as a shameful Goujian.

Of course, this matter does not need Zhang Su to come forward. The emperor will hand it over to the civil servants. Zhao Cong's parents also understand that the emperor has no children, and they want to adopt their second son Zhao Cong, who left home at the age of seven or eight.

The son is already a commoner, but he has become a prince and has the opportunity to become the crown prince to inherit the throne. Where can such a good thing be found?

Zhao's parents agreed.

Zhao Cong couldn't help but think of the master's statement that he had no fate in the immortal realm and only had the destiny of wealth and honor in the world, and secretly asked: Is this the so-called wealth and honor in the world? Not to mention there is also a kingship?

Zhao Cong learned from Xuandu, so naturally he had some knowledge. But not to mention the kings of the world, even the emperor, once he died and entered the underworld, he would be like an ant. How can the rich and noble in the world be able to go to the immortal way?

Why is he unlucky?

When Zhao Cong saw his parents, he also mentioned that he was about to be seventeen, and it was time to get married. Once he is adopted to the emperor and empress, the matter of the prince's wedding will also be put on the agenda.

Zhao Cong went to Chong Lan before his father's imperial decree to enshrine the king and his own adoption into the palace had not been issued. The concierge of Chong's house also knew that he was Chong Lan's senior brother, or from the clan, and did not stop him.

Chong Lan was practicing martial arts in the open space in the garden behind the hall, and when he saw him coming, he invited him to sit in the corridor.

It's been more than half a year, Chong Lan has grown taller, and her appearance has grown even more. Zhao Cong looked at her for a while and asked, "Junior sister, do you say that wealth in the world is better, or immortality is better?"

Chong Lan said: "It's still a question, of course it's the way of immortality."

Zhao Cong said: "Uncle Wudang said, can you cultivate to the true fruit?"

Chong Lan thought for a while, and said, "Master didn't say that I can't do it. The world is not finished, the merit is not yet completed, how can I become an immortal?"

Zhao Cong said again: "If the person you like is a mortal, would you like to be a mortal with him? Share the wealth and honor with him."

Chong Lan frowned and said, "Why did Senior Brother Zhao ask me that? I don't even have a crush on me, so how would I know? If he is a mortal and I like him very much, wouldn't it be better for me to take him to cultivate immortals?"

Zhao Cong said, "What if he only has a life of wealth and honor in the world?"

Chong Lan said, "Senior brother, don't curse me, I don't want to be a seven fairy."

Chong Lan had also heard about the Seven Fairies marrying mortals privately and removing the bones of the fairy. She was very curious, and even peeked outside Dong Yong's house. The Seven Fairies were old, and Dong Tiansheng was crazy again. The result was too miserable.

Zhao Cong said: "But you haven't attained the Tao yet, you are still a mortal."

Chong Lan was slightly annoyed and said, "Why do you always think badly?"

"Because I'm a mortal, I'm just afraid that I won't have a chance in this life."

Chong Lan said: "What does that have to do with me? If you don't have a relationship, do you just hope I don't have a relationship?"

Zhao Cong was silent for a while, then said, "Because I like Junior Sister and want to marry Junior Sister as my wife."

After all, Zhong Lan was a girl, and the first time she was confessed, her face turned red. In fact, after working together in Beijiang for half a year, Chong Lan still found some of his advantages and liked him. However, the education she received since she was a child and the "Seventy Years of Void" education given to her by the Master of Heaven, made her mentally more mature in this regard than a normal fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

Chong Lan said, "You still marry Zhe, Han, and Wang, right? Marry them, they are more suitable for you."

Zhao Cong was hurt by her bland statement rather than the jealous sarcasm.

"Are you unwilling to give up Immortal Dao, or have you never been interested in me?"

Chong Lan sighed: "Brother Zhao, it's you who confesses now, right? If a man really likes a woman, he wants to get better and approach her, instead of blaming her for not giving in? How can you say that you like a woman. What you like is the **** in your heart, not the woman."

Zhao Cong said: "You mean, refuse?"

Chong Lan said: "I can't see the future, why should I agree?"

"Because you are pursuing the future of Immortal Dao."

"This is one of them. In fact, being a mortal does not necessarily have a future, but no one can afford this value. Once a man and a woman become husband and wife, the husband is the guide for the wife, and the life of a woman revolves around her husband and her husband's family, so I can see what I'm going to lose, but you didn't show me that what I've lost will be compensated for. This kind of relationship is like a disordered balance of yin and yang, and it will be like a mirror."

Zhao Cong couldn't help but think deeply, Chong Lan smiled and said: "Senior brother also knows about the Seven Fairies, you can go to Dong's Mansion to see. Among mortals, Dong Yong is a good man, he should only give his life to the Seven Fairies, so far there is none. Concubine, only seven immortal girls have one son. But now, they are not very happy. Even if you are as affectionate and righteous as Dong Yong, you may not be able to achieve what I have lost. Three obedience and four virtues, husband is God, Serving my parents-in-law in the backyard every day, presiding over the central feeder, and managing your concubine's maid, what can this life give me? As for the happiness of men and women, since you like me, if I am moved for you, as long as I am happy, a couple of nights , you won't refuse, right? I'm a disciple of Intercept, who can use those boring rules to get me?"

Chong Lan still smiled at her, but Zhao Cong's heart was cold.

The Tongtian sect master in the Biyou Palace saw this scene of the disciples and grandchildren of the lower realm from the mirror, and couldn't help being stunned.

He did all kinds of calculations to take down the world's qi, and He Wudang taught the reincarnation of the phoenix to "keep yourself and not suffer from men's losses", and he taught her wrong.

When she faced Ziwei Xing's confession, she said: Ten moves refused.
