On this day, the wind calmed down and the snow stopped.
Kang Zonghe, who had been stationed at the northern wall of Luzhou for a long time, received a letter and immediately set off from the camp. He had no intention of staying and returned during the rare starry night of the Yuan Dynasty.
The two guards, the green-faced ghost and the Rakshasa ghost, insisted on sending each other off, a hundred miles away from the barrier. When they reached the boundary of the Luzhou barrier under Wen Yu's jurisdiction, they stopped their horses. After all, it was a military regulation, which did not allow the two to master it. After leaving the post, there are many people talking, so as not to lose too much gossip, so you must avoid suspicion. From the beginning to the end, Kang Zonghe never said anything to these two people. He just drove his horse southward, with thousands of cavalry guards behind him, straight through half of Luzhou, and then slowed down slightly to return. , rested temporarily in Luzhou, and ordered Qianqi to return.
However, due to the military orders of the two Rakshasa ghosts and green-faced ghosts, although Kang Zonghe persuaded the soldiers and horses to turn around, the thousands of horsemen insisted on following them. However, they did not go from the main road and only camped in the mountain trails, waiting for Kang Zonghe to arrive. After resting in the border city of Luzhou, we will escort again.
It was the winter moon, it was rare for the wind to be calm and the snow to stop, and there were not many pedestrians on the street at night. Kang Zonghe was not a pure person who could sit still. Of course, he wanted to carry the Changxuan Zhengguan to his waist, loosely Walking into the streets and alleys, I was able to see what it was like during the Yuan Dynasty. Of course, it was not just for people-watching. But in the final analysis, it was not necessarily utilitarian. It was just a walk along the long street. After a while, even when he saw the pile of snow that had not yet melted, he became more playful and wanted to step on it with his long knife before leaving with satisfaction, which attracted many people's attention. .
There is also snow in the Dongzhu Islands, and every winter, snow falls all over the mountains and fields, which is not necessarily less powerful than Dayuan. Especially to the north of the Dongzhu Islands, the mountains are covered with snow all year round and are covered with layers of whiteheads. So it wasn't anything new, but Kang Zonghe had never walked around so casually in Dayuan City before, so it always felt strange. In the final analysis, he is just a very young young man. Although he is the master of Tianqing Pavilion, in the final analysis, he still has the mentality of many young people to wander around the streets. Therefore, you can see that the clothes and street scenes in Dayuan City are different. The thick smoke and smoke of the mortal world is the most touching.
Therefore, many people in the city can see such a handsome young master in rich and beautiful clothes. He seems to be a bit weak, but he is holding a very beautiful long sword in his arms. Although he is strange, he has a handsome face. It seems that no matter how you dress up, you can attract attention. There are many women in the city who have shy eyebrows, but they don’t have the courage to come forward to meet the young master, or to introduce themselves to their family. They just reluctantly change their eyebrows. He looked at it, lingered for a long time, and then reluctantly looked away. Kang Zonghe always had a smile on his face. He didn't know why, but it was very useful.
Seeing that it was getting late, even those who practiced martial arts had a hard time getting used to the cold and bleak scenery on the winter moonlit night of the Great Yuan Dynasty. Kang Zong and Tong were no exception. Even though the clothes on their bodies contained a bunch of fox fur, As usual, I felt that the coldness in the long street was almost as strong as water condensation, which was really hard to bear, so I thought for the first time that I could go to a tavern and sit there, maybe drink some wine, and that would be fine.
The waiter in the tavern is certainly very discerning. Looking at this distinguished gentleman, he only has a very round pearl embedded in the back of his shoes. He is wearing a soapy yellow robe and is full of nobility. Naturally, he knows that this patron's money bag must be there. It's very full, so of course you have to come forward with a smile.
"A pot of strong liquor does not need to be of high quality. Just arrange as many dishes as you like. Since the business here is very good at this time, the craftsmanship must be good. Just serve some special ones. The wine needs to be strong. Don't bother to warm it up. "It doesn't taste very good when you drink it." Kang Zonghe randomly picked a place to sit on the ground, not far from the brazier. After giving orders to the waiter, he noticed that the person closest to the charcoal fire was a down-and-out man with a tired face and even scarlet eyes. He was half-lying at the table, with no drink in front of him. He was casually wearing a rather old gown, and his eyes were half-closed, half asleep, which made him look quite strange.
"Brother, there is depression between your brows. Can you give me some wine and food?
The man who was still lying at the desk looked up suspiciously, but he saw in front of him a well-dressed young man with very upright and handsome features. He thought he had not woken up, but after taking a closer look, he turned his head to the side again. He went to the side and waved his hands impatiently, "I don't run the tavern. Just ask me, brother. Don't disturb my sleep. It's nothing."
I'm not interested in talking to someone who is prettier than me. "
The words were not necessarily polite, but Kang Zonghe smiled. Apparently he did not think that the half-drunk and half-awake man in front of him was some nonsense and absurd person, so he put the knife beside the table and waited for the waiter. Get the dishes. The doors and windows of the tavern are tightly closed, making it the warmest place. Unless someone comes in or out, not much cold wind can seep in. On the contrary, it is because of the two or three extremely hot braziers that the tavern is very warm. There are even a few men in the tavern. Drinking together, it was even more noisy and lively upstairs. Even in this cold winter, the waiter was sweating on his forehead. Although the furnishings in the tavern were already old, the layout was not exquisite, just simple. There are two curtains, one separates the kitchen and the other separates the aisle. Over the years, the background has long been lost, but such a small shop is very much Kang Zonghe's intention.
Since this man had said it in advance, Kang Zonghe no longer asked for trouble. Instead, he lowered his eyes and thought carefully about the conversation between the green-faced ghost and the Rakshasa ghost guarding the North Road barrier a few days ago. However, the entire Zhengzhang Royal Court seems to have relaxed after acquiring the Luzhou Barrier. At first, Wen Yu often sent troops and horses out, but in the end, this was rarely done. Instead, with such a building The barrier is facing the Xu Meng Mansion soldiers and horses from afar. Until now, they have neither regained the lost ground nor expanded their soldiers and horses to a shocking number. Even with the current military garrison issue, I am afraid that the morale of the army is unstable and it is a foregone conclusion. .
But in the eyes of Kang Zong and Zanglu, it was definitely not what they said. This military garrison and pastoral system was executed extremely skillfully, and it was nothing more than three. One is to rest and recuperate, which can stabilize the people's hearts. The Great Yuan Dynasty can be said to be recorded in the annals of history. It has made countless historians scratch their heads and ponder over it. They wrote a lot about this rebellion. The dragon sucked the water and almost destroyed Wang Ting and Xu Meng. The Great Yuan under the government has almost dried up. If the army is raised again, there may be trouble. Even if the people are quite critical now, such a military garrison and animal husbandry can calm the morale of the army. People's hearts.
Secondly, there is food, and the military camp and animal husbandry are obviously not just in the original field ridges, but under the control of one hand, new fields are opened, and then pastures are found. If the weather is good, I am afraid that there will be disasters to the west of the Luzhou barrier. There are a lot more fertile fields than in the past, and there should be enough grain and rice. Compared with the Xumeng Mansion, the soldiers and horses are not used to farming, and they are often scattered plains. Of course, they are not as flat and suitable as Luzhou. Many people have never thought that the treasure land cultivated and cultivated has never been thought of. Luzhou was regained by the royal court. Not only did it lose the geographical advantage of approaching Guzhou step by step, but it also not only lost the most dangerous Luzhou barrier, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack. After surrendering, even the grain and rice fields are expected to be depleted now.
Sanlai Kangzonghe had heard that Shaohehan, who was quite capable and skillful, and even in the eyes of many people was not inferior to the former Hehan, had been exempted from taxes and corvees many times due to the recent resurrection of the royal court. , especially in this tense season of war, without much pause, they have begun to clean up those clan elders who are proud of their achievements. Instead, they use the people's wealth and people's anointing collected by the clan elders over the years to eliminate disasters and calm the people, which attracts even more attention. Young and strong people are joining the army one after another. If this is the case, it will definitely make it difficult to coordinate the upper and lower ranks of the army, and it will be difficult to adjust the gaps among everyone. This will be detrimental to future wars. However, if such a military camp goes through, these gaps can be easily eliminated. Notice it and adjust it accordingly.
The green-faced ghost Rakshasa ghost once speculated that Wen Yu was not a man, but in Kang Zonghe's view, no matter whether this commander-in-chief who came out of nowhere to lead the army of the royal court was a man or a woman, it has to be said that the means They are all quite clever.
Kang Zonghe moved his chopsticks quite frequently, but he still maintained a decent posture. In less than half an hour, he almost finished all the dishes on the table. The drowsy man sitting opposite him was also awake and did not look at it. Kang Zonghe took out a bright silver flying knife and played with it between his fingers. It seemed that the knot in his heart was deeply rooted and he had not been able to get away for a long time. Drinks and drinks seemed to have no effect at all.
From the moment he entered the door, Kang Zonghe knew that this man was a practitioner, and his level was neither high nor low. Now that he has seen this flying knife, he always feels that it is higher than expected.
So when he went out to leave, Kang Zonghe suddenly wanted to go to the Luzhou Barrier to meet Commander Wen. Although he didn't know what kind of brilliant commander Dayuan, who had always been a poor practitioner, could be.
It’s just the time to walk out of the tavern with the knife in hand again,
I saw a young girl with very good features outside, who seemed to be coming to the tavern to look for someone, but I was a little confused about whether I should take this step, so my pink jade-like face was tangled in one place, and I still couldn't make up my mind for a long time. idea. Kang Zonghe was so kind-hearted that he leaned down to take care of the latter, and asked the very reserved little girl if she was looking for a man. The man's features were drooped, listless, and quite a bit With a drunken attitude, the doll nodded repeatedly, but Kang Zonghe smiled casually and patted the little girl's head with thick hair.
"Stop looking. It's true that the man is sitting in the tavern, but his mind is not there. The most he can say is that he's a walking dead. It's better to wait until he comes to his senses before trying to persuade him."
The Young Pavilion Master of Tianqing Pavilion, holding a sword, walked leisurely along the long street for a hundred steps. When he turned around, he saw the little girl still squatting outside the tavern waiting, shaking her head, but finally walked away slowly.
