As the New Year is approaching, the weather is getting colder and colder, with snow falling every now and then.
On this day, a group of people came outside Ye County.
More than ten riders, surrounded by two carts, walked along the road around Fushan and took shelter from the wind under Hutou Cliff.
This place is only ten miles away from the gate of Ye County, so we will reach it if we push harder. When the group was about to continue moving forward, a companion from the back of the team came forward: "Official, my aunt asked, is there a place to rest and tidy up here? After entering the city, the official
I think I want to pay my respects to my brother, but we are so busy along the way that we may not be respectful."
The man called the official was a handsome young man.
The young master laughed and said casually: "What's wrong with this? That's my biological brother. I've seen him even when he was rolling in the dirt. What's more..."
At this point, seeing the companion's expression of embarrassment, the young master changed his tone and said, "But the aunt is right, um..."
He reined in his horse and looked around, and saw a newly renovated inn ahead: "Go there with your horse and carriage, and send someone to get more hot water!"
The cavalry entered the inn, and an envoy came out to inspect the talisman. Seeing that the talisman was used by a ninth-grade official of the Recording Department, he knew that his immediate superior had arrived, and he quickly braced himself to serve him. He also saw the carriage in the carriage.
The women who came down, even though their veils were hanging down, could still see that they were dressed like ladies, and their postures were even more elegant and noble, so they became even more polite.
In fact, the envoy made a mistake.
The person who came to the post at this time was indeed a judge from the Recording Department, but he never cared about Laizhou affairs. This judge's surname was Li, and his name was a cloud. He was sent by Ding Haijun to Zhigu Village and was responsible for maintaining relations with the Central Government.
People with business connections to high-ranking officials and nobles.
The woman who got off the car was naturally Li Yun's wife, Mrs. Hua.
Recently, the Mongolian army has gathered more and more troops in Zhongdu. However, the Lushui and Juma Rivers around Zhigu Village have been sealed to the bottom, making it impossible to stop the Mongolian cavalry. Outside Xin'an Haibao, the sea water has also begun to flow.
It's frozen, and by that time, not even sea ships can pass.
Many wealthy merchants in Zhigu Village were worried about their own safety, and Li Yun received Guo Ning's instructions and offered to take them to Shandong for temporary refuge.
Some people agreed with this suggestion, but many people also had doubts. They were just worried about running into a gangster. But after all, the threat from the Mongols was more terrifying, so for more than half a month, more than a dozen merchants came with their fleets and
Floating wealth arrived in Laizhou.
According to the instructions in advance, these merchants were all relocated to Haicang Town, where they were greeted with a smile by their old friend Wang Shixian who went on a killing spree in Zhigu Village that day. Li Yun got a holiday and took his wife to the town.
Meeting with brother in Laizhou.
Aunt Hua has been staying in Zhigu Village since she got married to Li Yun. She is not only Li Yun's right-hand man, but also the leader of women in Zhigu Village.
However, Aunt Hua was in awe of Li Ting, and she was nervous all the way. Li Yun had nothing to do with his wife, but fortunately, he had nothing urgent to do, so he followed her around.
At this time, a place was vacated in the inn for Li Yun and others to rest, so the group simply rested for a while. It was freezing cold, and there was frost and snow along the way. It was indeed hard work to travel.
In the hall of the post station, the fire pit was burning hot. Travelers and post guards gathered around, warming themselves by the fire and chatting. It was very lively.
Listening to their words, they were talking about the entertainment industry in Laizhou. It turns out that recently, several popular singers in Zhongdu came with a team of moni, deputy mo, pretending to be alone, deputy net, and leading the show.
Settled in Shandong.
These few people sang popular tunes in the Xuanhui Academy Jiaofang Division, performed the Wuhua Cuanong drama, told the story of the battle between Ding Haijun and the Mongolian army, and had various jokes from the big and small courtyards.
Duanzi. Have the soldiers and civilians in Shandong ever seen this?
Wherever the kabuki team went, there was a sensation and everyone was intoxicated.
An official who was present at this time went to deliver a letter to the Laiyang Mine Supervisor a few days ago. The Laiyang Mine Supervisor is a popular agency under the Department of Government Affairs. It is in charge of several gold and silver mines and iron mines in Laizhou that have resumed production.
, very angry. So they hired a team of singers to perform several Wuhua Cuanong dramas for the hard-working miners.
The official was in the middle of the meeting, and he was really feasting his eyes, and now he vividly recounted it to everyone.
He could be heard one moment transforming into Zhang Chi who died heroically in battle, another moment transforming into commanding Wang Shixian, and the next moment transforming into rampant Monk Luo, swinging a sheep club bone in his hand like a windmill.
At the end, it was natural that Jiedushi Guo Ning had to appear. As the final protagonist of the whole drama, Guo Ning's majesty in the drama was simply stronger than on the real battlefield. The official imitated the lyrics in his mouth and held the sheep in his hand.
The stick was waving up and down, as if those Mongolians with vulgar words and filthy temperament were being smashed into meat patties by Guo Ning's iron bones.
In these days, many people have seen fighting and fighting, so it is inevitable that some people will be suspicious: "Then Master Huifeng, Li Ting and others are really so powerful? How can one of Tiefutu's cavalry be worth a hundred? Our Jiedu
The envoy was surrounded by hundreds of Mongolians, and then he charged forward and killed them one by one? Is this an exaggeration?"
At this moment, Mrs. Hua happened to chuckle.
It turns out that those teams of singers were all Hua's old acquaintances in the academy. Previously, the military government had issued a document asking Zhigu Village to search for opera singers and get some academy books and dramas to rally the morale of the people.
These people have a very low life, and their life is not easy. After arriving in Shandong, with the military government behind them, Mrs. Hua to help them, and a salary, at least they will not be bullied, which is much better than in Zhigu Village.
.
Hearing that they were so busy in Shandong, Aunt Hua felt that they were right and she was very happy.
This smile was misunderstood by others as agreeing with the doubter, and they did not believe in the bravery of the naval admiral. Immediately, several people refuted all of them. They did not dare to offend Li Yun and his party, so they only scolded the doubtful person.
The dog's head is bloody.
A soldier carrying luggage was particularly angry and kept saying: "How can this be exaggerated! Let me tell you, our commander is the star Tuosheng! There are also army lieutenants, generals and soldiers, many of them are heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals descending to earth! Just for this reason
Clean up the troubled times and restore a bright and prosperous world!"
"Stars, stars? Heaven, heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals?"
Now even the official who told the story was stunned.
Several people looked at each other, and someone asked cautiously: "General, do you mean..."
Another person asked: "Is the story about the old immortal Yuyangzi in Donglai Mountain true?"
"It's true! I saw it with my own eyes!" The soldier clapped his chest loudly: "On that day when the remains of the soldiers were buried, the Commander-in-Chief and the generals all went to watch the ceremony, and the Donglai Mountain suddenly became filled with mist! The old god said
Looking at this cloud, I knew that an extraordinary person was coming, so I used my magical power to see what happened..."
Everyone around them lowered their voices, and their voices trembled with excitement: "Then what? Then what?"
"Nothing happened at the time."
Everyone sighed in disappointment.
"But that night, the old immortal was just talking. He kicked his legs and died! He was out of breath!" The soldier patted the table instead, and it still made a thumping sound: "I tell you, in less than half an hour
, the person becomes stiff, cold, completely cold!”
Seeing the horrified looks in everyone's eyes, he said triumphantly: "What happens next, do you guys know?"
Many people here have heard this magical story, but how can it compare to a general telling it in person? This general said it, he was there and saw it with his own eyes! It was impossible to do it in the middle of winter.
What, all I have to do every day is brag and nonsense... If you know a little inside information here and brag about it in the village community, that would be beautiful!
Now everyone is asking: “What next?”
"Until the next day, as soon as the sky brightened, a ray of sunlight hit the old god's face, and the old god suddenly came to life! When he came to life, he ran outside!"
"Why is he running?"
"The old god ran and shouted, God, please forgive me! I shouldn't have looked down at the stars, the heavenly soldiers and the heavenly generals! I know I was wrong, God forgive me!"
"Oh..." The audience all praised.
At this time, someone else said: "Didn't the old immortal run away? I passed by Donglai Mountain a few days ago and I heard that the old immortal has always been stationed in the ancestral hall."
The soldier sneered: "The old god is also a god! Even if he says a few soft words to the stars, soldiers and generals in the sky to beg for mercy, that's it. At most, he will lose a few years of his life! You know what the old man said later.
What?"
"What did you say?"
"The old man said that if we set up a navy, we will definitely be able to do great things and achieve great achievements! Anyone who can be listed in the Martyrs' Shrine in Donglai Mountain will have great fortune and great luck. That's why he wants to stay in Donglai Mountain.
, get a little blessing!”
Having said this, the soldier held his head high and looked around at the crowd: "You said, if I have a commander like this and a general like this in the navy, they will naturally be so brave! Hehe, what does the Mongolian army mean? What do Yang An'er and his like mean?"
He waved his hand proudly: "Commander Jiejie has to rest with the people in the past few months! One day, when all the troops and horses are ready, with a single order, all disciplines will be wiped out!"
Everyone in the inn was excited when they heard this.
Li Yun smiled at his companions and said, "It makes me want to go to Donglai Mountain."
"Going to do it!"
Aunt Hua didn't pay much attention to the lyrics of the song, but she had been wandering around for half her life, had suffered a lot, and had inevitably done some things against her will. She quite believed in the theory of gods and ghosts. She responded twice and murmured again.
He was muttering to himself, not sure whether he was praying for blessings or doing something else.
