Volume 1: Jiangzhou Chapter 58: Birth of the Tiger and Wolf
The entire Jiangzhou City did not become depressed because of winter, but was in full swing. The area of the entire Jiangzhou City continued to expand, and merchants from the surrounding Xinzhou, Yuanzhou, Ezhou and Huangzhou began to settle here.
City.
Duan Qing has been busy. It is actually very easy to settle in Jiangzhou. Foreigners who want to live or do business in Jiangzhou only need to register with the government office.
Businessmen are always the ones who understand the changes in customs best. The changes in Jiangzhou City in the past year have already spread throughout the court and outside. Many prefects have heard about Jiangzhou Prefecture's Ling Xin'an, especially him.
That set of compulsory education caused a great disturbance in the court.
Zhang Feng of Qingzhou Prefecture even participated in Ling Xin'an's book, and the governor Su also openly interfered with him in the court, but in the end nothing happened.
In the world of Jianghu, apart from the fact that spiritual veins appeared during the autumn harvest and caused a sensation in Jiangzhou City, no one has paid much attention to it now.
In this way, as time passed day by day, Ling Xin'an received the flying pigeon letter from Sun Wu and Lu Fengxian.
After he read it quietly, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
After Sun Wu and Lu Fengxian learned that Ling Xin'an had returned safely, they were sincerely excited. At the same time, as subordinates, they felt deeply guilty for not being able to protect Ling Xin'an three times. They had no face to face Ling Xin'an again, so they decided to officially join the army.
, became the most ordinary soldier in the surrounding area, and fought on the battlefield from then on.
Sun Wu has always felt that his strength and talent are considered outstanding, but after experiencing several border battles, especially Liang Han's annihilation battle, for the first time he felt the insignificance of force when facing life and death. Among the ten squads,
, less than half survived. After Ling Xin'an left, there were only seventeen people left in a head-on battle, including the two of them, out of the more than a hundred people.
Between the lines, Ling Xin'an could feel Sun Wu's sadness and deep sense of powerlessness. Ling Xin'an took the initiative to be the bait, and the sacrifice of his companions made him determined to choose this path.
Lu Fengxian's words were similar, but he said in his letter that Liang Han, as a commander, chose to kill the enemy head-on in his own country, did not know how to use strategies, and sacrificed the lives of Zhou soldiers in vain.
What to do was listed one by one, and the battle was restored again, allowing Ling Xin'an to understand the entire process head-on.
At night, Ling Xin'an just ate a few simple bites, still thinking about the letters from Sun Wu and Lu Fengxian. Seeing this, Ling Xue said, "Master, is the food not to your taste?"
Hearing this, Ling Xin'an came back to her senses and said, "Speaking of this, who cooked the food during this period?"
"Sir, it was made by Fei Zhang's nephew Runtu. Should I ask him to come over?"
Ling Xin'an shook her head and said, "No need."
"Then why does the young master look so sad? Is there something else?" Ling Xue asked.
Ling Xin'an sighed and expressed Sun Wu and Lu Fengxian's thoughts.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Ling Shuang's angry voice: "Huh, two cowards, they don't even dare to come back, how can they have the nerve to send a message like a flying pigeon? Wait until one day I meet this girl, and I have to strip them both.
The skin is not good."
Ling Xin'an quickly comforted: "Okay, I ordered them to run. You don't understand the situation at that time, so don't be angry!"
"Shuang'er doesn't know how to march and fight, but it is only natural for subordinates to protect you. They are two useless things." A look of indignation.
"Sister Shuang'er must be worried about them!" Xia Xiaoyu suddenly said, with a slight smile on her face.
Hearing this, Ling Shuangfeng glared and glared at Xia Xiaoyu: "Why don't you say anything about eating!"
"You two cowards, don't come back alive if you can. See how I deal with you."
There was a hint of concern in the words.
Hearing this, Ling Xin'an looked at the three of them and suddenly smiled.
At night, Ling Xin'an picked up a pen and replied to each of them with a letter.
He expressed that he respected the two people's choices and had no intention of blaming them. Nowadays, the Great Zhou Dynasty seems to be singing and dancing in peace, but in fact it is just a calm day before the storm. The two of them can choose to join the army to serve the Great Zhou court. Ling Xin'an has no choice.
He objected, but he also pointed out that although Sun and Lu had followed him for a period of time and learned some knowledge, especially about marching and fighting, their styles were completely different, and it was suggested that they should not be in the same place.
Sun Wu can continue to train in the southwest borderland, while Lu Fengxian can go to the north to enlist in the army. The implication is that there is no blame, the only requirement is that the two must survive until the day they meet again.
By the way, Ling Shuang's anger was burning.
The next day, Ling Xin'an asked people to send out the two confidential letters quickly, along with two sets of unknown books.
In the desolate southwest borderland, today, the Ming people no longer clamored for war. They just fired a wave of cold arrows from a distance and turned around. Since the appearance of the Blood Princess, this year's autumn wind has changed. The Ming people and barbarians are no longer there.
They rushed over desperately, but fell silent. The news from above was that the underworld and the barbarians seemed to be planning a bigger plan.
Sun Wu and Lu Fengxian sat on a hillside outside the camp. The night sky was dotted with stars. It was rare that there was no snow tonight. Although the temperature was cold, the two of them sat on a dead tree and looked at the sky in silence.
"Your Excellency did not blame us!" Sun Wu said softly.
Lu Fengxian nodded: "I also received your reply, and you don't blame us."
Sun Wudao: "I can't believe that the master we are following is completely different from the Ling Mansion in Jinling."
"Yes!" Lu Feng nodded first.
Sun Wu whispered: "I also hoped that the adults would scold us, but he didn't say anything!"
After that, he became silent, but his eyes were filled with tears, so crystal clear in the night.
Lu Fengxian was silent. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "Such an adult is someone worthy of our following."
Sun Wu raised his head and wiped away his tears: "Miss Shuang'er scolded me, which made me feel much better!"
Lu Fengxian laughed and said: "She scolded me too, haha!"
After that, he quietly said: "Xiao Wu, I have to leave!"
Sun Wu was startled and said: "Where are you going? Back to Jiangzhou?"
Lu Fengxian shook his head: "No, my lord has said that it is not suitable for us to serve in the same place. This is not good for our growth. Don't forget, my lord must have told you to stay alive until we meet again."
Sun Wu nodded, looked at Lu Fengxian and was about to speak, but Lu Fengxian interrupted: "Xiao Wu, I know what you want to say, so don't say it. I believe this is the best arrangement for you. Maybe in the future, we can't ask you to do it."
You’re an adult.”
"What do you call an adult?"
Lu Fengxian looked at the boundless sky and smiled expectantly: "Maybe he is sir!"
Lu Feng left first, carrying a military recommendation letter given to him by Wei Qing and left the southwest borderland.
…
The weather is getting colder and colder. It can be said that Jiangzhou is located along the tributary of the Yangtze River, which is now named by Ling Xin'an. It has four distinct seasons all year round. I didn't expect it to be so cold in winter.
After several days of heavy snow, the entire Jiangzhou City came to a standstill. Today in the courtroom, Ling Xin'an received a report that farmers' houses collapsed. The same phenomenon occurred in the villages below Jiangzhou City. Ling Xin'an sent people out to investigate, and by the way,
Some first aid materials and these methods once again surprised Duan Qing and others.
Soon, at nightfall, the police officers who came back reported that the collapsed houses were mostly poor families, mostly lonely old people or widowers, so they took advantage of this opportunity to provide them with some material assistance.
Because of the heavy snowfall, Ling Xin'an woke up early in the morning and started shoveling the snow in front of the government office. The weather was so cold, so naturally the guards would not stay in front of the door all the time. The door of the government office was also closed. Only a quarter of an hour before the ceremony was held.
Open the door from the front yard.
Ling Xin'an's work and rest routine, in such a cold weather, after doing some Tai Chi, she found that the effect was not good, so she started to clear the snow.
The inner courtyard, the middle courtyard, the front courtyard, until now in front of the government office.
rustle……
With the gentle sound of snow sweeping, Ling Xin'an calmed down and swept the snow in front of the government office again and again. Every piece of snow was swept so seriously and meticulously. Slowly, Ling Xin'an was immersed in it, as if between heaven and earth.
, only this white snow is left, the sky and the earth are vast and empty, everything is silent, Ling Xin'an is just a drop in it, unknowingly, when there is a bang in the ear, Ling Xin'an raised his head and looked following the sound,
Surprisingly, it was the waiter from a merchant on the right who opened the door and saw Master Ling sweeping away the snow. He was surprised and dropped the door in his hand to the ground, making a loud noise, which woke Ling Xin'an up.
"Little boy, little boy, hello to you!" The waiter in the store was really a little panicked. He just got up early today and opened the door as early as possible. Then he saw a figure sweeping the snow meticulously. Behind him, it was clean.
There was not a single piece of snow. Where had the snow gone? He was extremely surprised at the time, until he saw the figure's feet. When the snow melted rapidly and mysteriously disappeared, behind him, a faint pattern was suspended in the sky.
, which really startled him, until he woke up the man, raised his head and looked over.
The waiter was horrified to discover that it was Mr. Ling of Fuya who was sweeping the snow. Damn it, there was actually an adult in the world who was sweeping snow on the street early in the morning. He had never seen Mr. Fuya who loved the people so much, so at this moment
He was really panicked.
Ling Xin'an shook his head. He was clearing snow just now. He seemed to have entered an unknown state. When he woke up, there was a clean avenue of nearly 300 feet behind him. There were no traces on the street.
A piece of snowflake, until this moment, snowflakes continued to fall from the sky on the street.
After thinking about it, Ling Xin'an smiled and said, "Get up."
