These days, it is troublesome for people to travel far away. They have to apply from the village or village. Then the village or village applies to the next level, and then to the state for approval. The process is very cumbersome and time-consuming.
Any urgent matters are no longer urgent under this system. Just wait and wait for the state’s approval.
The county magistrate should have more freedom, but if he wants to travel far away, he still has to inform the state, and the governor will not allow it and cannot make the trip.
"Going to Xuanzhou?"
Liu Qing said with a cold face, "Do you want to go to Jiedushi's place to ring the bell and beat the autumn wind? It's a shame for me!"
"Your Majesty, you look down on me." Yang Xuan said with a righteous look on his face, "Although Taiping is poor, it is poor with backbone."
Liu Qing said suspiciously: "I believe what others say. You... go ahead. Go back early and come back early. You still have to keep an eye on the spring plowing!"
"yes!"
Yang Xuangang was about to leave when Lu Qiang came.
"Hey! Six counties...six counties..." Lu Qiang ran out of breath and stood outside the door, holding his hands on his thighs and panting.
Six counties...this is not right, leave now.
Yang Xuan ran away without hesitation.
Lu Qiang turned around, "Hey! Huhu! Hey!"
He gasped a few times and said, "Stop!"
But Yang Xuan ran away long ago.
"This little brat!" Lu Qiang exploded with anger, "Please take care of it."
Liu Qing slapped the case and said, "Damn it, you are telling me that I should pamper young talents like this. What's the use of saying this now? Slap yourself in the mouth."
Lu Qiang smiled bitterly, "This year's spring plowing will be expanded. How much wasteland the six counties can open up depends on the county magistrates of each county. Damn it, that little brat ran away. When the magistrates of the five counties come to Lin'an,
Look, Shijun, those old guys will poke your spine and say that you are doing favoritism for that little brat Yang Xuan again."
Liu Qing was silent.
After a long time, he said calmly: "That little kid wants to make a crossbow. We can't do anything about it here. He will definitely not stop when he goes to Xuanzhou. I have been tortured by him. Now it's better. Let Jiedu send them there.
This little brat must have a headache."
Lu Qiang said: "The officialdom is a training ground. Too much work will make people jealous. Your Majesty, if you indulge him like this, don't you worry that he will be criticized by thousands of people and die without any illness?"
Liu Qing smiled and said, "Look at those important officials of the Tang Dynasty. As long as they have no background, who has not stepped up step by step from below? Every step is filled with blood, tears and lessons. This person! He will have to suffer a lot.
"The walking is so smooth, you might fall down and be unable to get up."
Lu Qiang shook his head, "You and I are both people who have fallen. Watching that kid fall... But if you are not ruthless, you won't be able to stand firm!"
Liu Qing picked up the document and took a look at it.
He said slowly: "I am optimistic about him, so I have to sharpen him. If he can hold on, he will naturally surpass me and become a great person in the future. If he can't hold on, he will not have this life. In the future, he will find a wealthy place to be an official and be stable.
That’s it for life.”
Lu Qiang asked; "What should I do if the grinding fails?"
"If you're afraid of this or that, then don't become an official. It's best to be a rich man at home." Liu Qing's eyes were calm, "If it gets ruined by hard work, that's fate."
There are people outside looking around.
The roar started as expected.
"He's a sneaky thief!"
…
The Wang family has many mines in northern Xinjiang, and the one closest to Taiping is on the left side of Xuanzhou. Jiedushi is stationed in Xuanzhou, and even though this mine is close to the border, it is still as stable as an old dog.
Yang Xuan and his thirty riders walked slowly along the way.
On the ground, last year's withered and yellow pastures still remained, no green was visible, but there was an indescribable and unexplainable smell in the air.
"This is rustic." The old thief is very familiar with this. "When villains robbed tombs in the past, they only needed to smell the rustic smell to know whether there was a tomb underneath."
This old thief has now become a crazy lover of the art of war, and he can't let go of the book all day long.
Wang Laoer licked his lips and touched the baggage on the horse's back.
Yang Xuan said calmly: "If you eat another piece of dried meat, your dinner will be gone today."
Wang Laoer said: "I just touched it."
The old thief raised his eyes with a vicissitudes of life on his face, and Wang Laoer couldn't help but expect him to say something nice for him.
"I don't know what's wrong with Chang Sanniang. I feel sorry for such a weak woman."
whispering sound!
Wang Laoer rode away further.
"Why are you so far away?" the old thief said dissatisfied.
"Lest the lightning strikes and I suffer the consequences."
Even Yang Xuan was impressed by what he said, "My second child has grown a lot recently!"
Wang Laoer nodded and said proudly: "The book the old thief showed me contains a lot of these words."
The old thief is good, Yang Xuan nodded in approval.
The old thief smiled reservedly.
"What else?" Yang Xuan asked.
Wang Laoer said: "What else... I am so kind to you, please forgive me..."
The old thief blushed, "Shut up!"
What the hell!
Boss Yang felt that his subordinates were all scum, and it was not easy for him to create an innocent second-rate boy, but he was led astray by these scum.
The old thief laughed to himself for a while, pointed to the right and changed the subject, "Lang Jun, I met the scouts earlier and chatted with them for a long time. They said that a small tribe had just moved over there, and it seemed that the population was not large... They originally I wanted to go plunder, but after asking, I found out that it turned out to be the tribe of Khan Huien’s lover in the Kibo tribe, hahahaha!”
Horse thieves plundered regardless of place. The tribes of Northern Liao plundered Tang Dynasty, and the army of Tang Dynasty would also plunder Northern Liao.
This is the current situation in northern Xinjiang. Maybe a robbery will trigger a war at some point.
"Hua En? Why did he leave his lover here?" Yang Xuan felt that this was not what normal people would do.
The old thief laughed and said, "It is said that he was afraid of being guilty. He finally found a lover, but someone reported the news. His wife swore to kill that woman, so he quickly ordered his lover to run away with the tribe to a place close to the Tang Dynasty. His wife’s people don’t dare come here to kill anyone.”
In the afternoon, they found a place to camp far away from the roadside.
The tent was pitched and the bonfire was lit.
A chicken I bought during the day was killed and grilled on the rack. The old man brushed the chicken with oil and served it carefully. Wang Laoer was making broth on the side.
Throw in the dried meat, throw in the bloody chicken innards, and cook them together.
The chicken feathers were not wasted, they were thrown in and burned, giving off a pungent smell. Then Wang Laoer was kicked by Yang Xuan.
The chicken is cooked and the soup is thick.
The sound of horse hooves also came.
"alert!"
The dense sound of horse hoofbeats sounded like thunder. Yang Xuan was already experienced enough at this time and said: "There are about three hundred horses, outflanking them from left to right. There is no way to escape, so be on guard."
Thirty riders plus Yang Xuan and the old thief mounted their horses.
That idiot Wang Laoer also went to cook the roasted chicken. The roasted chicken was piping hot. He frequently changed hands to hold it, and his mouth was sizzling.
"It's a horse thief!" someone said.
Three hundred horse thieves shouted and surrounded us.
"May I ask where you are from?" Yang Xuance immediately stepped forward and held his hands, with a social look on his face.
A sergeant asked: "What does Lang Jun mean?"
no one knows.
But they were all wearing casual clothes.
The horse thieves gathered around silently.
A man with disheveled hair and a dark face rode out on horseback, staring at Yang Xuan with lightning eyes.
"Who are you waiting for?"
Yang Xuan smiled, "Brother, I do some business without capital, just to make ends meet."
"Which side?" the black-faced man asked.
"Coming from Chenzhou." Yang Xuan sighed, "Damn it! Those dog officers in Chenzhou have surrounded us this time. Do brothers Liang Chao know?"
The dark-faced man nodded.
Yang Xuan said sadly: "No, the mother-in-law has been taken away from me. As soon as I saw that the momentum was not right, I ran away with my brothers."
The dark-faced man glanced at the plainclothes sergeants.
Everyone stared at him unwillingly.
Who are we?
The murderer of Sin City!
If Yang Xuan had come with a regular army, he would definitely be pretending to be horse thieves and break up the gang. But this group of tough bandits have the same aura as horse thieves.
The dark-faced man nodded, "I am Hongchun."
"I've met Boss Hong! Brother Du Hui!" Yang Xuan handed over his hand, "Our brothers have long heard of Boss Hong's reputation. With his advanced cultivation, those tribes are helpless... let alone those dog officials."
When the old thief saw that Yang Xuan's face did not change when he mentioned the dog officer, even with a sarcastic tone, he couldn't help but secretly praise him.
Lang Jun is good at acting!
Then he gave Wang Laoer a look, signaling to be more vigilant.
There was no way, he couldn't bear it either.
Hongchun is a well-known horse thief in Xuanzhou. He has a high level of cultivation and 300 elite men under his command. He jumps back and forth between the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Liao Dynasty, and no one can stop him.
Wang Laoer whispered: "Run."
The old thief whispered: "We...can't beat him."
He had never been so desperate when Wahai was around.
Yang Xuan knew that he was no match here, so he was thinking about how to get rid of Hong Chun.
"Where are you going, Boss Hong? The sky is..."
If you want to leave, hurry up and don't delay your trip.
Hongchun looked at the sunset and said, "I can't leave today. This place is very nice, so I'll camp here."
Yang Xuan really wanted to curse, but he still had to say enthusiastically: "Do you have food?"
Hong Chun nodded, "Brother Du, you're welcome. We still have some, but we're just short of fuel."
Oil is the most valuable!
This courtesy is impressive.
Bonfires were lit dotted around, and the aroma of various foods came from the place.
Hongchun's people were about ten steps away from Yang Xuan and others.
"This distance ensures that we cannot make a sneak attack and that they can make a surprise attack at any time." The old thief was verifying his tactics.
"Be careful. We take turns to stay on duty at night. If something goes wrong, do it first." Of course Yang Xuan was not a good man or woman, otherwise he would have died on Dongyu Mountain long ago.
"Get rid of them tomorrow." The old thief suddenly thought of something, "Weren't you afraid of being discovered before?"
That was Hong Chun, a rumored master who could kill Yang Xuan with one slap once he was discovered.
Yang Xuan picked up a dead branch and thought about the male protagonist in movies and TV shows. At this moment, he must be holding a cigarette and talking to a woman with a sad face. He rolled around in the tent later and it was done.
But there are old thieves beside him.
"Afraid, why not? However, Hongchun seems to be indifferent, but in fact he is conceited. This kind of people are the most prejudicial. After my compliments and the fact that the brothers are all fierce, he will naturally not delve into other problems."
The old thief became more and more curious, "Young man has a lot of experience, how come you can't see that Hongchun is conceited?"
Yang Xuan said calmly: "The spring breeze is brisk. At this time, the horse is galloping with its long hair flowing, and it is particularly free and easy. But how can a horse thief bathe often? Look at Hongchun..."
The old thief looked up. Hongchun was not far away. He could see his long hair, which was very smooth.
"I just took a look and the hair of those horse thieves is all messy. He is the only one with long hair. You said a horse thieves leader takes good care of his hair and still lets it hang loose. Why?"
The old thief thought for a moment and said, "Free and easy."
It’s just a pretense!
Yang Xuan glanced at Hongchun.
Men in that world all had short hair, but there were also some who had long hair. Especially some so-called artists, who either had ponytails or long, flowing hair.
Hongchun stood up and suddenly waved this way.
Yang Xuan stood up and whispered: "Be on guard."
He walked slowly over, and the horse thieves sitting by the campfire also slowly looked at him.
The look in his eyes was extremely unruly and provocative.
Just like that flowing long hair, Hongchun is also very elegant in his work. Other horse thieves are eager to attract all the people they can win over to increase their momentum. But Hongchun is different, he must be good at it.
Three hundred riders roamed the grassland, and whenever they saw that flowing long hair, those who had been robbed could only struggle desperately, waiting for death to come.
"Brother Du, sit down!" Hong Chun said simply.
"Thank you." Although he was just the leader of a small group of horse thieves, Yang Xuan still maintained his dignity.
Hongchun picked up the wine bag and took a sip. He moved slightly, and his long hair fell on his shoulders. He reached out and stroked the back of his head, "You come from Chenzhou. You don't have any luggage. You can't survive for five days. How do you make a living?"
The horse thieves around were grinning.
A horse thief, who was probably the little leader, said in a sinister tone: "Why are the knives that escaped so neat? Do you think we are fools and can't see it?"
I underestimated the enemy!
Yang Xuan glanced at Hongchun, and his heart moved slightly.
If Hongchun discovered a problem, why didn't he take action?
But it is also possible that this person wants to show off in front of his subordinates and show off himself.
Yang Xuan smiled bitterly, "I just bought them from the Waxie Tribe. To be honest with Boss Hong, a while ago, my brother heard that there was a wealthy small tribe here, so he wanted to rob it. For this reason, the brother also bought it from the Waxie Tribe.
I bought Hengdao, bows and arrows at a high price... Unexpectedly, Chenzhou’s dog officers suddenly came out, and the brothers died and fled."
He sighed, "There are more than thirty brothers left to follow me. If we want to make a comeback, we need money, so I will bring my brothers here."
"What money?" The horse thief leader's eyes lit up.
People die for money, birds die for food!
Yang Xuan pointed to the right side, "I originally wanted to go it alone, but these are the only brothers I have left. Boss Hong, how about we join together and plunder that small tribe? You take 70%, and I take 30%!"
Hongchun looked at him silently.
The night wind blew by, causing his long hair to flutter slightly.
"You are two, I am eight!"
Yang Xuan lowered his head for a long time.
"good!"
"When will we do it?" Hongchun asked.
This is also a temptation.
Yang Xuan said: "It's not too late!"
Hongchun nodded, "Let's go!"
More than three hundred riders just disappeared into the night.
The old thief followed Yang Xuan and said softly: "Mr. Lang, that is the lover of the Khan of the Kipo Department! Wynn will go crazy."
Yang Xuan looked at him, very surprised, "Does it have anything to do with us?"
Old thief: "..."
Ahead, Hongchun waved, "Brother Du, how far is it?"
'Du Hui' smiled and walked up, "It's not far away. It's said to be right next to a small hill."
It is indeed not far away, just ahead, the shadow of the hill is very obvious.
On the edge of the hill, a tribe of hundreds of people formed a camp, and they were all sleeping at the moment.
"Prepare!"
Hongchun raised his long sword and swung it down violently.
The sound of horse hooves startled the long night.
