Half a year later, the Imperial City of Kang was built.
Above the court, all the courtiers were still quarreling over whether to move south. Although the grassland people who went south seemed to have stopped attacking in the past six months, no one dared to bet the safety of the country on whether the grassland people would move south. Above kindness.
Of course, more importantly, once the court decides to move south, it will mean a new round of power reshuffle. Some wealthy families who are already in the south will be like a fish in water, but those families whose power is in the north will not have it so easy - - But in general, the majority of courtiers currently support the move south. In their words, this is called regrouping to prepare for the coming time.
However, in the view of young Tao Wuliu, this is just an excuse. To put it bluntly, he just doesn’t want to fight. No one wants to fight. It is obvious that the grassland people have not continued to advance for half a year. I am afraid something terrible has happened internally. At this time , I am afraid it is not the best time to go north to regain the lost territory, but no one in the civil and military dynasty wants to fight.
So the angry Tao Wuliu wrote a memorial and handed it over, hoping that the young emperor, or any minister, would realize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Then he waited for a piece of paper.
"Are you going to send me to Longzhou?"
Looking at the contents of the document, Tao Wuliu was dumbfounded.
Of course, nominally speaking, this is a transfer order, asking him to make up for the vacancies in Longzhou, but anyone with a little common sense can see that someone is tired of him and tells him to go to the northwest to get some work - from Jiankang was more than a thousand miles away to the northwest, and he was afraid that he would never be able to come back in this life.
"I... okay."
After putting away the transfer order, Tao Wuliu took the old servant to pack his luggage and get into the car. After all, in order to get him to leave quickly, the order was still urgent, and there was no delay.
On the way out, Tao Wuliu bowed his hands towards the imperial city for the last time, as a thank you for this favor.
If people don’t want to listen to him, what else can he do?
"Let's go."
After greeting the old servant and driving the car, Tao Wuliu headed west.
In the first half month, Tao Wuliu mainly cursed. After all, he grew up in Jiankang, and now a piece of paper actually made him leave his hometown. Anyone who suffered such cruel suppression would be furious—— However, after half a month of scolding, Tao Wuliu became numb. In the final analysis, no matter how much he scolded, he could not change the established facts.
So during the rest of the journey, Tao Wuliu tried his best to stop thinking about these things, and instead focused on studying the scenery along the way.
"Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, you can leisurely see Nanshan Mountain."
On the way, when he saw the magnificent mountains and rivers, Tao Wuliu would occasionally get inspired by poetry and write a few lines.
Then he saw dozens of bandits carrying weapons rushing towards him on the southern mountain he was chanting.
Facing the robber with an evil look on his face, Tao Wuliu finally handed over the money to buy the way. Although he also wanted to try to make a few excuses, but just looking at the evil look on the other person's face, it was obvious that the evil spirit could no longer be suppressed - —So in order to avoid having his head cut off by the evil madman, he finally chose to cut off his wallet.
And after running out of money, the journey didn't seem to be much fun anymore. Although the bandits also left a few days of food for Tao Wuliu and the old servant, this amount of food could not last for a few days after all.
"As long as I can survive these few days."
Three days later, Tao Wuliu encouraged his old servant.
"As long as we can survive these few days, we can rush to the nearest city. Whether it is selling some words or writing some poems for others, we will still have something to eat."
Saying this, Tao Wuliu looked at the mountains in the distance again.
"The mountain air is getting better day by day, and the birds are returning to each other... What do you think of this sentence? Will anyone be willing to pay for it?"
"Don't worry about the poem! Run, sir!"
The panicked old servant kicked Tao Wuliu to the side of the road with a flying kick.
Immediately afterwards, the old servant himself was picked up by the big bird with a human face, which was more than three feet tall. Only half of his body fell from the sky and landed in front of Tao Wuliu.
An old servant who had been with him for many years died on the road due to an evil spirit monster, which made Tao Wuliu devastated.
After hastily burying the old servant, Tao Wuliu was the only one left to embark on the journey this time. It was at this time that he realized that the journey of a thousand miles was actually so far away.
"Otherwise, I'd better not do this as an official."
Frustrated, Tao Wuliu once again took out the piece of paper.
Originally, Tao Wuliu was still laughing at the robbers for not taking away the documents and official certificates, but now he realized that those robbers might be right. In today's hellish world, official certificates and documents are probably the most useless. It is true that with this piece of paper, he can go to Longzhou and become a county magistrate. But the question is, can he really make it to Longzhou alive?
"This world...hey!"
With a long sigh, Tao Wuliu couldn't bear to burn the documents in the end.
With this official certificate, he at least still has an identity. Just like he said, everything will be fine after he goes to Zhoucheng.
Everything will be fine, it will be fine.
"So have you finished checking it?"
Facing the soldiers guarding the city at the door, Tao Wuliu's brows gradually wrinkled.
"I told you, I'm going to Longzhou to take office... What's going on here in Dengzhou? Is it so inefficient to open customs clearance documents?"
"Oh? Another imperial official?"
Several soldiers looked at each other and actually burst into laughter on the spot.
"You're the one who was caught!"
A heavy spear hit his head, and Tao Wuliu was immediately beaten unconscious.
When he regained consciousness, he was already in prison, and after listening to the conversations of the prisoners around him, he realized that Dengzhou had already raised a rebellion under the connivance of the Yu people - Co-author As a court official, he took the initiative to send himself to the enemy-occupied area and plunged into the rebel den.
Fortunately, his luck was not bad this time.
Just because the prisoners in the prison were planning to escape tonight.
So when the prisoners were in turmoil, Tao Wuliu also ran out, but he was unfamiliar with the place and he didn't know where he should go. At this time, the pursuers from Dengzhou City came over and faced him. With his spear shining brightly, he could only follow the prisoners and run wildly.
However, the Dengzhou defenders obviously had no intention of letting them go. Even though the prisoners had escaped from the city, they still pursued them non-stop. More and more prisoners were stabbed to death on the ground by the cavalry wielding halberds, while Tao Wuliu His physical strength is also getting less and less under this crazy running.
After all, this is a dead end. How can two legs outrun four?
"You can run away!"
Seeing the cavalry getting closer and closer, some prisoners started shouting.
"Take the water route! We can survive!"
Facing the approaching pursuers, Tao Wuliu could only hold his nose and jump into the water with the prisoners.
Under the wash of the water, Tao Wuliu closed his eyes tightly. He didn't know where he would be taken, and he didn't know if he could survive. In panic, he could only feel the water around him and pray that this nightmare would come to an end soon. past.
But immediately, Tao Wuliu suddenly felt that something was not right.
Simply because the surrounding rivers do not flow eastward.
Instead, go in the opposite direction, all the way to the west.
"Get up, we're here."
Just when Tao Wuliu thought he had drifted to the underworld, the prisoner who screamed before spoke again.
Tao Wuliu also stood up.
What appeared in front of him was an extremely narrow corridor that could only accommodate one person, but on the opposite side of the corridor, there was obviously some light.
"this……"
Tao Wuliu, who was a little confused, followed the prisoner and got in along the current.
After a dozen steps, Tao Wuliu's eyes suddenly became clear.
The second update has arrived, so everyone should go to bed early.
Also: Thank you all for your recommendation votes and monthly votes. Thank you for your encouragement and support.
I also went to bed early, good night everyone.
