After passing Hongzhangjun Town, and then passing Shuijialing, you will enter the jurisdiction of Wu Shou in Tiebei Jun Town.

Because Chen Qingniu was walking on the official road and had the eighth rank decree, the journey was unobstructed. Moreover, now that he has settled in the post station, his treatment has suddenly improved. After all, he is the "mother's family". Moreover, no matter how small the official Chen Qingniu was in the scene, he was still a clear official. In the Zhuque officialdom, the clear and turbid current was not as good as the Great Sui Dynasty. Therefore, it was divided into the underworld and the sun, but it should not be underestimated.

When Chen Qingniu learned that he could enter the city after another inn, he simply stopped sitting in the carriage to nourish his energy, sat behind Xie Shiji, and enjoyed the scenery along the road.

When practicing, the state of mind is of great importance. Once you lose your normal mind, you will slide into two extremes. You will either go downstream, go thousands of miles a day, or travel against the current, which is extremely difficult. Moreover, the former may not be all good things. Once the foundation is unstable, no matter how high your building is, it will be shaky and cannot withstand the wind and rain.

Forever regret, people's hearts are not as good as water, and waves arise in the plain.

This statement is the poet expressing his thoughts directly, and inadvertently reveals the mystery of practice.

When practicing, nourishing qi is the most important thing in cultivating the mind.

This is also the essential difference between those who practice practitioners and those pure martial artists in the world. The latter is to temper the body, like forging weapons. However, those who practice practitioners value the body as a furnace carrier, but pay more attention to the inner energy.

Chen Qingniu sat cross-legged, and the painted puppets followed suit, one big and one small, one person and one ghost, absurd and funny.

Chen Qingniu asked: "Do you know what are the tips and taboos in military cultivation?"

It sarcastically said: "You are not unclear. You are the most incompatible with our ghosts, and they are the children of the military. Among the five elements, spring wood and autumn gold are killed in autumn. This is why the 'Soldiers on the battlefield' are said to be 'Scarlet soldiers on the battlefield'. I dare not even approach the military, so how can I know their cultivation skills? Such a secret matter is not something that ordinary people hide under the tree. I can remember it with a glance."

Chen Qingniu was not angry either and sighed softly.

It was silent for a moment, and he wanted to speak but stopped several times. Finally, he couldn't help but be curious. Even though he knew it was wrong, he still asked carefully: "I'll ask, you can't answer, and you are not allowed to get angry..."

It suffered a lot during this trip. Chen Qingniu gave so many disagreements and sacrificed the "Justice of the Book of Rites" to make it truly a thread of life.

Chen Qingniu interrupted his words with a smile: "I want to ask me why I choose military strategists as the next foundation and practice on this?"

Its chicken pecked at the rice and nodded vigorously, extremely curious.

Chen Qingniu smiled and said, "I won't answer."

It was frozen there, and was injured.

Chen Qingniu looked into the distance, the breeze blew his face, and his hair shook gently.

People who practice practice have two opportunities to build a foundation, one is the body and soul level, and the enlightenment is like opening a cave. The second great opportunity seems even more illusory.

For example, choosing Buddhism is known as the construction of Sumeru throne or Vajra throne.

When choosing Taoism, it is called the Qi Sea of ​​oneself, holding up a treasure lotus lamp and the Three Pure lamp.

Military corpses are the generals. You can go to the ruins of the ancient battlefield to find those heroic souls and spirits who died in battle.

Generally speaking, all kinds of schools of thought have their own paths.

Among them, the most important thing about military and military cultivation and foundation building is to do one thing, and then it will be declining and exhausted. Generally speaking, if you fail to succeed twice, you will be more and more hopeless when you fail the third time.

Chen Qingniu suddenly asked, "Mr. He, Gao Linlian, Lu Fazhen. They are the entourage, Master, and Venerable. Do you know what inside information do you know?"

The painted puppet stared at him and didn't speak for a long time.

Chen Qingniu was quite reasonable this time and smiled and said, "If you don't want to say it, I won't force it."

It hesitated for a moment, probably because it was rare to feel the understanding of the immortal master, so he repaid his favor and said in a deep voice: "The man surnamed He is Zhu Hongying's true confidant. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "heart-to-heart". Lu Fa is just a person who can only compete with the dragon and possess the phoenix. He has a good practice of Taoism. Under the general trend, it is just like that. The old master Gao Linlian said that this person is knowledgeable and there is no doubt that he is disheartened in the officialdom of the capital and returned to his hometown to teach. I dare not assert that he is not a mediocre scholar, nor is he a corrupt scholar, but a scholar with a big mind. If you are hostile to him, then let me say that Gao Linlian is a cunning Confucian master. So I advise you among the three of you not to provoke Gao Linlian. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. It is absolutely a terrible thing to worry and hold grudges for scholars."

Ignore Mr. He, despise Lu Fazhen, and fear Gao Linlian.

This is the attitude of puppets on the countertop.

It is exactly the same as Chen Qingniu's inner cognition. No matter how powerful Mr. He is in martial arts, he is Zhu Hongying's marionette. As long as Zhu Hongying knows the weight of Guanyin, it is almost as clear to Mr. He himself. The great real man Lu Fazhen is outside the core of the military and political affairs of Xiliang, and is not even considered by Zhu Hongying as a confidant. Lu Fazhen was worshipped by the vassal residence. The real meaning is just to shock the monks of Zhuque. Only Gao Linlian, who is honest and has no desires and no desires, does not want to approach the painted puppets, and Chen Qingniu did not dare to take it lightly.

If you put aside your feelings, Gao Linlian couldn't find any faults, whether it was the reputation and reputation in the vassal residence, Zhu Zhenying's personal impression, or the meeting on the Shanghu Tower boat.

But don't forget.

No one is perfect.

Chen Qingniu said to himself: "If you don't have any interaction with this old master, don't come over and cause trouble."

The reason why Chen Qingniu left Liangzhou City quickly was that the thrilling assassination was actually not the key.

The bored puppet asked casually: "Was that banished immortal taught and answered questions in a small village? Is she a revisiting place? The village is so interesting, and the ancestors are actually migrant people."

Chen Qingniu sighed: "Wandering thousands of miles is ultimately in the world. Some people are wandering in the next life, and their fate is unpredictable, and they are really rootless duckweed."

The puppet said, "I feel sorry for her? Then you didn't try to keep her at that time?"

Chen Qingniu shook his head and said, "It's useless, if the heart is knot, the love disaster will not be resolved."

The puppet also shook his head, "You don't understand women."

Chen Qingniu laughed it off.

The puppet asked in a low voice: "Take out the treasure she gave you last and show me?"

Chen Qingniu looked down at it and asked with a smile: "Are you rushing to reincarnate? To be honest, it is too wasteful to kill you with that treasure, and I don't want to."

It said angrily: "You are cruel!"

Chen Qingniu laughed loudly, stood up, and said loudly: "Those who are slandered when they see wealth and honor are the most shameful. Those who are arrogant when they meet poverty are the most arrogant!"

It climbed all the way to Chen Qingniu's shoulders, "What's crazy?"

Chen Qingniu simply jumped to the top of the carriage, "I have never read books and I know few principles, so I care especially about the high-profile talks of brothel guests. It's a pity that I was poor at that time and couldn't afford to buy paper and pen, so I saved up some occasionally, for the Qingming Festival every year."

After a period of time, the painting of the picture scroll of "Xiongzhenshan and Hailou" was soaked and washed, the aura of the painted puppet became more and more stable, and the face and expression of the "whole person" became more and more lively. It was unwilling to talk to Chen Qingniu about the topic of brothels, and said: "Who is surnamed Chen, have you noticed the ancestral hall in that village? It is called Zhenhuai Hall, but it is not simple. The eaves of the house are raised, like tigers and leopards prey on the towering back, which is very interesting. This is not common in Liangzhou City, especially the incense for hundreds of years, which is about to lend a trace of divinity..."

Chen Qingniu said bluntly: "Stop testing me again. What happened to Wang Jiao and the young Taoist priest in that life? What story does the Zhuolu battlefield that was destroyed in history? I don't know. If she doesn't say it, I won't ask. But then again, are you planning to keep me behind my back besides restoring the tablet of the goddess of your family? "

It didn't make any excuses, but just wrapped its arms around its chest, sneering, "I'm so tired of living with people like you? Besides, with your identity as a guest guest of Lotus Peak, plus the treasure given by Wang Jiao, who would you be afraid of when looking at the southern continent? Who would you threaten you? Especially for a slave like you, who wouldn't take the opportunity to use public service to private affairs before going down the mountain?!"

Chen Qingniu nodded and smiled, "You are already half of my confidant."

Bang!

Another painted puppet with one finger.

The poor puppet roared and verbally in the air.

After a while, it finally ran back to the top of the carriage from the yellow sand ground.

It sat next to Chen Qingniu with a listless expression, with his head hanging down.

Chen Qingniu just pretended that it did not exist.

"Hey! Chen, you have to take two or three hours a day to find a secluded place and beat that big guy to death. What are you trying to do? Your accomplishments in boxing and the firmness of your body are clearly close to the bottleneck, so you are just practicing for that big guy. I'm surprised, who are you and her masters and who are slaves? If you treat her so kindly, you won't be afraid that the stupid girl will open all her tricks one day. Instead, you feel that being a maid is a big deal, and then you will be left without any time to cry! Haha, as long as you think of this, you will be inexplicably happy...ah!"

Someone blinked his fingers.

It went far away again.

In the end, I had to run back obediently, which was also tragic.

———

The most important border area in the southern border of the Great Sui Dynasty was undoubtedly the Jianpo, a place that must be fought for by military strategists.

Zhuque's General's Mansion of the North Envoy was confronted by him from afar and fought against him.

Going westward, the Great General's Mansion with the character Zheng is the Northern General's Mansion with the character Ping. The main force of the field battle is mainly stationed at Niangzipo, only 600 miles away from Mawei, the first town of the Xiliang border army.

After the death of the old general who had no son, several of his direct military generals seemed to have received no recommendations, which made the capital city turmoil. In the end, he was a young and unknown prince who took advantage of the situation and led a total of 4,000 soldiers from the capital city. All of them were elite cavalry and were directly transferred from the imperial guards in the capital. This was rare in the history of the Suzaku. It can be seen that His Majesty the Emperor favored this young man who almost couldn't even protect his ancestral home, and it can be seen that the court's determination to win the territory of the Sui Dynasty.

Zhuque has been conquering and constantly expanding territory for nearly a hundred years, so it has the system of Diaosi Supervisor to prevent the leading generals from being arbitrary and fostering rebellious. In addition, most of the eunuchs abide by the rules and dare not easily interfere in specific military affairs, which makes the Suzaku Dynasty safe inside and outside. This small group of powerful eunuchs from the emperor, even in the eyes of Qingliu, who have always been picky and harsh civil servants, have received a pertinent evaluation of "no contribution, but hard work". This young Liang Duke unexpectedly opened his palace on the festival and led his troops to the border. Among the accompanying team, there was a great eunuch wearing the big red python uniform of Zhuque, who was once the second in command of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. In a series of major battles in which Zhuque annexed the Yuhui Dynasty, the eunuch often appeared.

The noble Duke of the State did not bring any people from the Duke's Mansion during this trip, the loyal family and the beautiful slaves and maids, and even those who share the same hardships did not get any benefits. It is said that several people thought that this guy was not a person who could share the wealth and honor, so they simply turned to another place in anger. This is a joke after dinner in the capital, which is the most lively and not too big.

The eunuch in the python server naturally followed closely, and he didn't even start a battle, so there was no question of surveillance. He was more to protect Duke Liang from dying at the hands of the assassin of the Great Sui Dynasty. If he died halfway through the journey, the face of Emperor Suzuki would be over.

The Great Sui Dynasty, who was good at civilized governance, was suppressed by the Zhuque, who advocated military merits for many years. In the end, the border troops in the southern border of the Great Sui Dynasty became anxious and began to use inferior methods. They took the three routes and sent people to infiltrate the border troops, and specifically attacked and assassinated the various military generals and civil servants of the northern border troops of the Suique Dynasty. Kill one to make a profit and two to make a fortune. It was shameless.

The Duke of the Kingdom and the eunuch of the python were located under heavy protection, but thousands of cavalry traveled in a mighty way, and it was not impossible to do it, but it was not just a bad reputation. After all, this cavalry affiliated with the General Pingbei Mansion did not go out of the customs to fight, but just rushed to the garrison. Therefore, the cavalry baggage behind also stretched out a rather long line.

At that time, there was a horse that often wandered back and forth. It was the coldest time of spring. The young knight was wrapped in a thick cotton coat and was not wearing armor. He was qualified to ride a handsome tall horse and was idle all day long. Someone reported this to the cavalry general, but he only received a vague reply from "Don't care about this person, let it go." Over time, this strange guy who was the first to wash the horse's nose, feed the food, and set up camps and camps almost became familiar with everyone.

There are many different opinions about this person's identity. Some say that he was a companion to the Duke of Liang. He had a close relationship with the Duke of Liang since he was a child, but he was humble in the end, so he made great achievements this time so that he could escape from his slaves by relying on military merits. Some say that he was a direct descendant of the Duke of Jin in the capital. His family once helped the Duke of Jin, which was once extremely down and out. He had such a passion for burning cold stoves, so he was able to join the army. Some even said that this young man was actually a cultivator in the Immortal Mansion, a master who came to take charge of the General's Mansion and secretly protected Duke of Liang.

However, this guy was really helpless. After walking halfway, he began to use his way to spread his width. He first carried a sword and a sword, but then he was still not satisfied. He hung an arrow bag on his mount and carried a crossbow. Finally, he even brought a iron spear.

If you have something to do, just draw a knife and draw a bow by yourself. It’s confusing and can’t figure out what this is for?

Maybe someone said accidentally that this guy might have been exiled to our baggage team. The next day, the guy quietly removed all his weapons and rode one by one again.

Everyone then suddenly realized that this little brother was shaking his mighty before?

After learning the truth, no one really took this young man seriously.

Until one day, I had just passed the jurisdiction of the General's Mansion of the North. It was raining heavily all day long, and the spring was frozen. A baggage soldier suddenly caught a disease on the way. Although he had stabilized his condition with the army, he still needed a place where he could lie comfortably and securely. The army naturally had no interruption. Where can I find such a Feng Shui treasure land? Just when the commander and several sergeant were at a loss, the young man who was wandering on horseback without saying a word, turned over and dismounted the horse, carried the soldier and ran wildly. After about a stick of incense, the commander, who had followed the young man before, returned to the rear of the army with a serious face. He didn't speak any questions, but was willing to say that the patient was properly placed.

It turned out that among this energetic and powerful cavalry, there were only three carriages, one prince and one eunuch in the python.

The last one was the lazy young knight.

The commander finally knew that this man's surname was Liu, and everything else was covered with clouds and mist.

He only saw with his own eyes that after they appeared in the heavily guarded Central Army, no one dared to stop them. After the young man sent the soldiers into the carriage, he drove a cavalry captain with a power in power, just like driving a slave.

This is not the most shocking thing. Even the Duke of the State was alarmed and showed up with the eunuch in the python costume. He personally promised that the young man must take good care of the infected soldiers, and spoke freely, and called the young man "Liu Qier".

At that time, the captain almost glared out his eyes, and was so scared that he stood next to the carriage with fear, and didn't know how to place his hands.

After this powerful cavalry peacefully entered its own borders, an inexplicable wave finally caused.
To be continued...
