In the next few days, Zhang Xing kept saying that he was ill at home, and then tried his best to donate those silks, which attracted Taoist temples in the surrounding area to visit frequently for alms. However, this did not delay his family's increasing money and people. The more guilty you are.
There were really more and more people. After another three or four days, all the government offices were officially put into operation and all the shops were opened. The people of the Bai family naturally gave everyone in the Chen Liu Bai family's manor the profit from their trip to Jiangdong. Come over. . .
What others got was usually gold and silk and horses. The gold and silk were hidden at home, and the two best horses were kept for themselves. They were then exchanged for cash in Beishi City, which looked clean.
But isn't Zhang Baishou greedy?
Taking advantage of the convenience of work, he was forced to blackmail himself as a high-level person. Two horses were left tied on the back porch to increase Qin Bao's workload, and the rest were sold to Yan Qing of Bei City. The key is that all the calligraphy and painting treasures are It is well-known in the world, but now it is like a hot potato in his hands.
There is no way around it. If a person has a great reputation and cannot cover it up, he will feel like he is in trouble no matter what he does.
In addition, there was another job that should have been his, which was to deliver the prepared items for the trip to various places in Taichung, so as to save everyone from being jealous, but now it was a bit inconvenient.
In the end, I had no choice but to invite Hu Yan to sell my face. This Zhu Shou gave me a calligraphy and painting, and that Zhu Shou gave me a bag of beads... But some people started not to sell their face, as if they had heard some rumors. ...In the end, it was Zhang Xing who came up with the idea. He first carried the three-foot-high coral prepared for Zhongcheng Cao Lin into the black tower in front of everyone, and then sent it off for the second time. Those people just accepted it.
After all, Fulongwei belongs to the Fusi of Xizhen. Although they are mostly directly dispatched and used by the palace, they are still essentially Cao Lin's subordinates. And Cao Zhongcheng has the bearing of a great master. He can complain angrily to those in Nanya, But he really doesn't want to be petty with his subordinates.
In short, during the first half of the first month of the first month, Zhang Xing just hid at home to avoid the limelight, and at most he studied the "Yi Jin Jing" with the visiting Li Ding.
But this is also a bit embarrassing, because most of the auxiliary methods in the "Yi Jin Jing" can only be practiced after the twelve main meridians have been fully opened, and Zhang Sanlang has just completely opened the ninth main meridians a few years ago, and is beginning to impact The tenth meridian is just the right meridian. If you want to feel the magical effect of "Yi Jin Jing" like the other person, you will inevitably have more than enough ambition but not enough power.
Even because of this incident, Zhang Xing always felt that he had not kept up with the task level, which added to his unhappiness.
But finally, as all major government offices resumed work after the year and all procedures were completed, the imperial court officially issued the relevant transfer order through the Ministry of War for Chen Linggun to go to the northwest to guard the desert. In the black tower of Jing'antai, Cao Zhongcheng did not lose his dignity and come to embarrass his subordinates. He still duly issued the decree to inspect Huaibei as promised, and asked Bai Yousi's patrol team and relevant personnel from the Ministry of War to go and arrest Chen. The matter between Ling and the Long Whale Gang was settled.
The order was issued, and the other members of the patrol team who had made a fortune were caught off guard, and then they became unhappy. Only Zhang Xing, who had been unhappy before, felt like he had been granted amnesty, and hurriedly donated the last two hundred pieces of silk to Black Emperor Temple. Then he summoned Yan Qing, handed over the extorted calligraphy and painting, and asked him to cash it in - which meant that it was okay to lose a little, but before he came back, he must exchange it for silver, or even gold.
"That's all. There's something I don't know if I should tell you."
The day before departure, Li Ding came over regularly. After hearing about the next day's itinerary, he neither continued to guide his practice nor accompanied him to discuss government affairs, military affairs, customs and geography. Instead, he mentioned an unexpected topic. "The member of the Ministry of War, Wai Lang, who went with you on this trip, is a very interesting person. Everyone in the Ministry of War knows about it."
"How do you say that?" Zhang Xing, who was gradually becoming cheerful, was surprised for a moment.
"The main thing is that this person looks a lot like you at first glance." Li Ding was trying to think of words with dark circles under his eyes. "It's not a physical resemblance, but a superficial resemblance."
"What specifically?" Zhang Xing ignored the other party's strange description, but naturally became interested.
"First of all, the origin is unclear." Li Ding introduced seriously. "Anyway, like you, he never talks about his origin, but I have read the written records of his origin. It should be that he has the blood of the Witch Clan, and his mother has remarried... Because of this blood, although he works very hard in practice, he has never been able to Fa Na's cultivation base is a bit similar to yours."
Zhang Xing nodded, but didn't take it seriously... He couldn't explain his origin even if he wanted to, but he obviously had low self-esteem; his cultivation level also started late, and he actually turned on a cheating device, and he was born with the other party. Having a difficult pulse is not the same thing... But he also understands what Li Ding means, that is, neither of them has hope for success, and neither of them has the hard line of cultivation to open up the situation. They are both people who rely on certain abilities to make a living. .
"Then your behavior in public is very similar. You are both very good at writing documents. You often use documents to exonerate people. Others know that he is playing with words. When you come back to argue with him, you can't argue with him." Li Ding continued. "Then he secretly gives money to these people to make friends... But he is also really good at writing books, and he is very good at settling accounts and other things."
And Zhang Xing finally found it a bit interesting. These days, there are actually people playing the same tricks as him. Dongdu City is indeed too big.
"In the end, you are all equally strategic, scheming, and willing to make progress." Li Ding continued to speak seriously. "He is really knowledgeable and discerning, able to see clearly the secret behind things and people, and then he can find loopholes in everything."
Zhang Xing became more and more interested, but he still remembered the other party's words: "If they are so similar, why do they say they are superficially similar?"
"The reason couldn't be simpler." Li Ding finally laughed. "You are a hero, and he is a yinxiong... Just like that day in Taolinyi, you let me go because you really thought it was a deal with me, and he let me go because he wanted to follow me to find a copycat. When we get to the mountain stronghold, he may not dare to scold me because he is concerned about the lives of people in the mountain stronghold. For another example, regarding your fame this time, I think he will have the same idea as you, but he will not dare to go into the mountain in person. , or even if you enter the mountain, Qin Bao will be the first to go to court, and you will only explain it in advance later."
Zhang Xing was stunned, but surprisingly he was not annoyed.
There is no other way, as the old saying is almost getting rusty, the peasants are cunning and shameless, but it is the samurai who forces the peasants to do that... This man, because of his low origin and unable to cope with his cultivation, can only use all his strength. They have to find a way to climb up, and they are inevitably selfish and lose their tolerance.
In comparison, I, on the other hand, always looked at people and things with the arrogance of a time traveler, and I couldn't help but like to be pretentious and fussy, so I fell in love with the temperaments of noble children such as Bai Yousi, Sima Zheng and Li Ding.
On the other side, Li Ding saw that Zhang Xinghun didn't care and didn't say much.
The next day, Zhang Xing and Qin Bao were preparing to travel. Considering the presence of the second son of the Zuo family, Zhang Baishou finally took the compass with him after hesitating for a moment. When he was getting the compass, he saw the golden cone, so he simply wrapped it in satin and tied it to his waist. Then he went to the horse gallery to get the yellow gelding, and he and Qin Bao went out again, preparing to go to Huaishang.
Just at the east gate, Zhang Xing also saw the foreign minister of the Ministry of War that Li Ding mentioned. He was standing in front of Bai Yousi with his hands tied, talking and laughing with Li Qingchen and Qian Tang, while Bai Yousi was also talking about something. He was quite interested and watched the three of them laughing and talking.
It wasn't until Zhang Xing arrived that the three people stopped talking.
"Zhang Sanlang, this is Wang Daiji, a member of the Ministry of War." Li Qingchen was silent, but Qian Tang was in good spirits. He didn't know if he had received Bai Yousi's promise, so he pointed at the person he saw and introduced him briefly. "This time you will have to work hard with us."
Wang Daiji quickly handed over his hands and asked for words.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing listened to Li Ding's warning and took the lead. He handed over his horse and said, "I have long admired the name of King Jiu Lang of the Ministry of War, King of Time and Rain. It is a great honor for Zhang Xing to see his true appearance today."
Besides, the patrol team members who have arrived here range from twenty to fifteen. They just bowed to Bai Yousi before and then sat around casually in the market beside the road outside the city gate. Only Zhang Xing was seen. He came over and stood up again. When he heard these words, everyone was surprised. Almost everyone looked at the neglected Yuanwailang named Wang.
Qian Tang and Li Qingchen were even more surprised and horrified.
As for Wang Daiji himself, he is only twenty-eight or nine years old this year and does not look like thirty. He is still young. He is wearing an official uniform and a small crown. He can be regarded as a talented person. However, his beard is obviously yellow, which seems to hint at his witch descent. .
But he was a young man after all, otherwise he wouldn't have been so happy chatting with Qian Tang and Li Qingchen. When people around him looked at him like this, he couldn't stand it anymore and could only hand it over in embarrassment:
"How dare you call me by your name in front of Zhang Sanlang of Jing'antai? Moreover, this Jiyu... this is actually the first time I have heard it. Are you sure Zhang Sanlang is right?"
"Of course it's not wrong. It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because names are called by others. The reason why you say this is because you often assist officers who have violated the law in the Ministry of War, and they have become famous in private. "Zhang Xing dropped the yellow gelding, quickly stepped forward to hold the opponent's hand, and explained sincerely. "And to be honest with you, as far as I know, at the Black Tower of Jing'antai, because Qin Bao and I went to Mangdang Mountain this time, we have been prepared to slightly promote the two of us by two places on the list. The newly added The 300th place is said to have been accumulated by the King of Timely Rain... Zhang Xingxian is here to congratulate Wang Jiulang!"
Wang Daiji was stunned. It took him half a day to react, but he could only smile bitterly: "Zhang Sanlang, please show your respect!"
Zhang Xing also smiled bitterly: "Wang Jiulang, to tell you the truth, because of the incident at Mangdang Mountain, I was compared to Mr. Zhang of Nanya in Taichung, so my reputation was so great that I even had to receive a regular annual gift during the Chinese New Year. Change hands and send them out to avoid disaster... If it's my turn to get involved in the human list, how can I help myself to climb up?"
"That's it." Wang Daiji sighed. "I was just wondering why you donated hundreds of bolts of silk. But from this point of view, the two of us are in somewhat similar situations."
"Who says it's not?" Zhang Xing finally took the opportunity to reach out and take the other person's hand. "Otherwise, why would we fall in love at first sight? To be honest with Wang Jiulang, as soon as I saw you, I felt that you were my closest brother..."
When Wang Daiji heard this, he shook his hands and exclaimed: "That's it, that's it!"
When Qin Bao heard this later, he could only turn around and scratch his chin, trying not to look at these two people. Qian Tang and Li Qingchen were also a little embarrassed. There was only one Bai Yousi, who had already sat down on the flagpole of the grass shed next to where someone was selling tea, and was watching this scene with great interest.
And for some reason, the flagpole didn't break, but only fluttered in the wind under her feet.
In this way, after a long time of tossing, as the black-sanded Hu Yan and the newcomer Zhou Xingfan arrived from Jing'an Terrace to collect the official documents, everyone arrived, but everyone no longer hesitated, got on their horses and led their mules together, and headed towards Huaishang again.
Thinking about passing through that place before heading to Dongdu, it was the middle of winter, cold and dry. The key was that the schedule was tight and I couldn't be delayed for even a while. Moreover, I had to deal with banditry along the way and deal with it from left to right. It was really hard work. But now, going from Dongdu to Huaishang is the New Year's season. Although it is only one month away, it is obviously youthful, especially going from northwest to southeast, as if it is rushing towards the arrival of spring. .
However, the biggest change is the mentality of going back and forth.
When I came that day, I always solved the problem passively, but I was too tired to deal with it, and I couldn't think of everything. When I left today, I relied on the authority of the court and the Heavenly Sword in Bai Yousi's hand to take the initiative to attack, so naturally I felt cheerful.
Under such circumstances, on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, when they arrived in Huaiyang, which was only more than a hundred miles away from Chengfu, Bai Yousi suddenly proposed to stay here for a day or two until the whole group had finished repairing, and then went back to Huaiyang. City Father, no one has any objections.
But what is interesting is that they did not live in Guanyi, but in the manor of an official of the Zhang family outside Wanqiu City, Huaiyang County. This official had a younger brother named Zhang Yue. Bai Yousi's brother-in-law, the former Luoyang order, is now said to have gone to the official department.
All I can say is that there are many relatives anyway, so it’s okay to eat and drink for free.
There is no need to talk about bathing, socializing, and banquets during the day. At night, everyone has a room, which is also spacious. And in the evening, the wind suddenly started blowing up. Zhang Xing lay on the couch with his head up and heard the spring breeze whistling outside the house. He was also surprised, but he was too lazy to get up and take a look even though he was full of wine and food.
But he didn't fall asleep either.
On the contrary, he began to inexplicably think back to his various experiences since time travel, and thought about the future path... How should I put it? So far, Zhang Xing has always felt that he was doing things passively and that things were wrong. Due to morality, human feelings, and responsibilities, he just continued to do things one by one, and then he never had his own plan or purpose.
There must be emotions and thoughts, and there must be random arrangements and friendships, but they are definitely not special plans and purposes. Even the idea of rebellion is just a thought on the road, and was given by Bai Yousi. Press it.
This is very similar to the various troubles encountered during this trip to Jiangdong, and then passively resolved them.
However, now that the trip to Jiangdong is over, even Huainan has to take the initiative to go back and put an end to Chen Ling and the Whale Gang, but he doesn't know when he will take the initiative in his life?
I don’t know which god or supreme sent me here for nothing?
I don’t even know what main tasks are waiting for me?
Of course, one thing that must be admitted, or one cannot pretend to be confused, is that at present, considering that practitioners are advancing rapidly in the age of great strife, and the Supreme Enlightenment is also an ordinary setting in this world, then the most likely thing is, Or is it that the Wei Dynasty suddenly collapsed like the Qin and Sui Dynasties in his own world? An unprecedented era of great strife appeared before the eyes of the world. The barriers of the great masters were broken, humans, dragons and gods danced together, and there was a great battle between heaven, earth, humans and dragons. chess.
But even so, you still have to consider who is playing chess, whose chess piece you are, and whether you are willing to be a chess piece, etc.
Moreover, whether it is making chess pieces or playing chess, what will be the guiding philosophy?
Should we continue a feudal central empire, or should we do our best to be a pioneer beyond our capabilities and make the people live a better life? To do these things, should you assist someone, or should you do it yourself?
Just like this, after thinking about it, Zhang Xing felt that he was thinking in vain... For now, he didn't even know where his hometown in the North was, and the people he knew and felt were important. It's all in the Eastern Capital City. So as long as you don't have the ability or determination to rebel, what can you do except lurk in Fulongwei, observe the situation, and wait for the sky to fall?
Only, as the saying goes, a man can bend and stretch, and his official career seems to be smooth now, but in essence, he still bends under Bai Yousi, a top nobleman, in order to seek peace, but he doesn't know if he can stretch out in the future if he bends down for a long time.
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, there was a flash of white light outside the house, and a moment later there was a sudden thunder above his head.
Zhang Xing was so shocked that he turned over and sat up, and realized again that Chunlei was supposed to be like this...but he didn't realize until now that he had been in this world for a full year.
Thinking of this, he could no longer sleep peacefully, so he put on his clothes, walked out of the room, and came to the porch to enjoy the wind and listen to the thunder.
Unexpectedly, the lights in the corridor flickered, clearly illuminating that there were already people here.
"Brother Wang Jiu."
Zhang Xing changed his smile without hesitation and reached out to hold the other person from afar.
"Zhang Sanlang." Wang Daiji took the opponent's hand without any doubt. Inside the corridor eaves, the two of them were in the wind and thunder, just as natural and appropriate as the flowers in front of the moon under the moon. "Are you also here to listen to thunder?"
"yes."
Zhang Xing looked at the top of his head that was completely covered by the night, sighed, but blurted out. "Lian Guangyu has a vast mind and listens to the thunder in a silent place."
Wang Daiji was startled for a moment, and then sighed: "What a poem! What a 'Lian Guangyu has a vast mind, listening to the thunder in a silent place'! It really depicts the state of mind of you and me at this time, but I don't know what the whole poem is like?"
In fact, as soon as Zhang Xing finished speaking, he was stunned.
No way, he didn't actually want to copy the poem, because he almost vomited when he copied it in Jiangdong before, but this time, he really just quoted it casually.
However, the other party asked urgently, so he quickly put away his strange thoughts, thought carefully, and then answered it seriously: "There are two more sentences above... called 'There is no wormwood in the face of thousands of families, and I dare to sing and mourn. '."
Wang Daiji was slightly startled.
And just like before, after finishing his words, Zhang Xing himself was a little stunned - was it actually these two sentences before the thunder broke out? But it turned out to be more appropriate to the occasion.
ps: Happy going to work and good night everyone.
