On the official road, seven Taoist priests were walking. Occasionally they met a patrol, saying that they were returning from Qixia, Shandong Province to clean the ancestral tombs of Changchun masters, and they were going back to Huaiyin Zixiao Palace.
This is Li Xia and his party, with a carriage and two horses.
In the past, Nie Zhongyou got the horses based on his identity, and Li Xia got the horses by killing people. It was different now. They didn't want to alert the pursuers anymore, and obeyed the law along the way, so they neither robbed nor had money to buy horses.
It took ten days to walk from Kaifeng to Jezhou, which was later known as Jining City. Then he turned south and walked for another three days to reach Yicheng District, which was later known as Zaozhuang City.
Slow is slow, but fortunately the journey is safe...
Han Qiaoer wore a Taoist robe and pretended to be a little female Taoist priest.
She sat in a bumpy carriage every day, holding an intelligence booklet on her back and looking a little tired.
During the break that day, Lin Zi saw Han Qiaoer like this and couldn't help but said to Li Xia: "Li Xiaolang, it seems that you are safe now, why don't you let the little girl silently recite information again?"
"That's right, memorizing these things is the most painful thing in the world." Liu Jinsuo said.
Han Qiaoer acted as if she hadn't heard anything, still burying her head in front of the book, holding the steamed bun in her hand and forgetting to bite it.
Li Xia turned around to look, shook his head, and said, "This information is important, so memorize it first to avoid losing it due to danger on the road."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Zi did not dare to talk nonsense and silently tore up a little more of his dried meat and put it into Han Qiaoer's bowl.
Liu Jinsuo recently listened to their discussion and thought he understood a lot. He wanted to show off and asked: "Is there still danger? Isn't the East and West Road of Shandong within Li Fen's sphere of influence?"
Lin Zidao: "So? If we are caught by Li Fen's people, will he let us go?"
"Isn't he also going to rebel?"
Lin Zi snorted and said, "You don't understand, yet you insist on asking. Even after I told you, you still don't understand."
Han Chengxu explained patiently: "Li Fen's father, Li Quan, died at the hands of the Song Dynasty. He wanted to rebel to stand on his own, not to return to the Song Dynasty. Even if Yang Gong contacted the Song Dynasty, even if he did not object, he might not fully agree. Otherwise, the intelligence
They will go from Shandong instead of asking us to go to Kaifeng to get it."
Liu Jinsuo said: "I still don't understand... If we want to fight against Mongolia, shouldn't we all work together?"
"Work together?"
Han Chengxu hesitated and was choked by this rough guy. He didn't know where to start, so he just murmured: "Where does the concerted effort come from..."
"Mr. Han, you don't need to pay attention to him." Lin Zi said, "I have told you, but he still insists on asking if he doesn't understand."
"To put it simply, even the Song Dynasty might betray us, how can the northern prince be trusted?"
Liu Jinsuo asked again: "Then why don't we go around from the west?"
Lin Zi couldn't answer and turned to look at Li Xia.
"We pass through Zhongnan Mountain in the west. There are too many Taoist priests, so our identity will be exposed more easily."
"oh."
Although Liu Jinsuo talked a lot, he did not delay what he was doing. He quickly lit a fire and took a clay pot to the stream to get water for boiling.
"Hey, Mr. Li Xiaolang is very particular. On this hot day, you have to boil the water before letting it cool down."
"Try not to drink raw water." Li Xia responded casually.
Liu Jinsuo asked again: "Why?"
Li Xia was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore, as long as this reckless man could just follow his instructions.
It was Han Chengxu who still opened his mouth to explain: "According to "Yi Jian Zhi", the famous general Wu Jie during the Emperor Gaozong's reign, Wu Shaoshi, left the army on a summer night and hurriedly drank dirty water containing locust eggs. The larvae grew in his body, invaded his internal organs, and caused hemoptysis.
And died."
Liu Jinsuo asked again: "Then the water we drink is not dirty, why do we still have to burn it?"
"Shut up," Lin Zi said, "Li Xiaolang asked you to burn it, and you just burn it. There's a lot of nonsense."
"Aren't I burning? Aren't I waiting for it to boil?" Liu Jinsuo said, "I just listened to Mr. Li Xiaolang and it was time to ask clearly. If I am afraid of bugs, I will pick them out..."
Gao Changshou thought it was noisy here, so he stood up, walked to Gao Mingyue, and saw that she was feeding the horse with fodder.
"We will arrive south in a few days." Gao Changshou said.
"Um."
"When we get to the south, we will be separated from Li Xia."
"Um."
Gao Changshou thought for a while, hesitated a little, but still said: "There is something I still want to ask you."
"Um?"
Gao Changshou turned to look at Li Xia and said, "If you also think Li Xia is good, I will mention it to him in the next few days..."
"Second brother." Gao Mingyue interrupted him, frowning, seeming a little annoyed, "Why are you saying this without any reason?"
"You misunderstood. I am trying to win over you this time. I just think he is good enough, which is rare in my life..."
"Because he is good, shouldn't I like him?"
Gao Changshou sighed: "He is worthy of your lifelong trust..."
"Second brother, do you have to say this when you are on the run? I have worked so hard for you, but you are causing trouble on the sidelines, which is annoying."
"If I miss it this time, why don't we wait until we are far apart?"
Gao Mingyue said: "In short, I don't like..."
"You..." Gao Changshou said: "Whose family is not the destiny of the parents? An elder brother is like a father, so why can't I be your master? If I don't feel sorry for you, why should I ask you what you want?"
"Second brother, I didn't let you get into trouble." Gao Mingyue became more and more annoyed, threw away the fodder in his hand, turned around and ran back to the carriage.
Gao Changshou scratched his head in embarrassment, saying that he really didn't understand his sister's thoughts. It would be better if his mother was still here.
Turning around, he saw that everyone was still resting. He raised his whip in a low voice and said, "I'm going to explore the road ahead."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Muru, please be more careful..."
Over there, Gao Mingyue returned to the carriage, still a little annoyed.
I saw Han Qiaoer reciting the information, eating, and returning to the carriage with the book in hand.
"Wokuotai was the Khan, and close ministers such as Biedie and others reported that 'the Han people have no contribution to the country, so they can be used as pasture land.' Yelu Chucai reported: 'Central Plains land tax, commercial tax, salt, wine, iron smelting
, from the profits of mountains and rivers, one can get 500,000 taels of silver, 80,000 bolts of silk, and more than 400,000 shi of millet every year, which is enough to supply, so what is the meaning of no supplement?" So he established Yanjing and other ten roads to collect taxes, and appointed Confucian scholars...
…”
Gao Mingyue knew that this information sounded useless, but it actually contained Mongolia's policy towards the Central Plains, and could be used to deduce many things... In short, Han Qiaoer was young, but her powerful memory played an important role this time.
.
When Han Qiaoer got into the car, the moment the car curtain opened, Gao Mingyue also looked towards Li Xia, and saw that the man was discussing the skills of killing people on the battlefield, making several movements with his hands.
But no matter how nice that person is, why should I like him?
Gao Mingyue felt a little angry with this thought in her heart...
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, Han Qiaoer closed the book in his hand, raised his head, and murmured: "I memorized it."
"Huh? Qiao'er has finished memorizing this volume?"
"I memorized it from near to far. This old information from more than 20 years ago is the last volume."
Gao Mingyue was surprised and asked: "In just these ten days, you have memorized so many books? Will you not forget them?"
"I won't forget it." Han Qiaoer said crisply: "As long as I recite it once, I won't forget it. I'm very good at reciting things."
Gao Mingyue blinked and wanted to say something else...
But Han Qiaoer had already jumped off the carriage.
She tied her hair into a Taoist bun and wrapped it in a square scarf, with two strands of hair floating gently, making people feel relaxed just looking at her.
"Brother Li, Brother Li..."
Li Xia just stood up, and Han Qiaoer had already ran to him, with his head raised and tiptoes, looking intimate.
Gao Mingyue looked at them talking and laughing, thinking that Qiaoer looked thin and small, but she was actually very cute...
But she herself just sat there alone with her knees folded, isolated from the world.
On this day, Gao Changshou, who went to explore the road ahead, did not come back for a long time.
Just when everyone was a little worried, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly sounded in front of them.
Everyone looked around and saw that Gao Changshou was still galloping on his horse on the official road, but his Taoist robe was stained with blood.
