The five of them got together during lunch, and Chang Sheng took out the Dragon Vein Continuation Map and handed it to Yang Kai, ordering him and Yu Yishi Xuanming to rush to Hebei Road and enter the dense forests of the Northeast to search.
Since the woman born from Earthly Branches could not confirm the identity and motives of Yang Kai and others, she was likely to launch an attack on Yang Kai and others. In order to ensure the safety of the three of them, Chang Shengsheng and the others only conducted a rough search and arrived at the suspected location or When you see a suspicious person, don't rush to contact him. Instead, notify him with a spiritual token as soon as possible, and wait for him to deal with the matter in front of him before rushing over to handle it personally.
"Your Majesty, what about me, what should I do?" Datou looked at Changsheng with his rice bowl in hand.
Changsheng said, "You should dispose of all the real estate that can be converted into cash as soon as possible, leaving one million taels for your own use. The remaining silver will be handed over to the Ministry of Accounts, which will allocate five million taels to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"Then what?" Da Tou asked, "Where should I meet you?"
Changsheng thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Shenzhou, just outside the city of Shenzhou where we rescued those veterans. I have to go to two places this time when I go south. First I go to Taiping Temple in Eshan, and then I have to go to another place. If we go to Shuzhou, we can roughly estimate that it will take seven days to get to Shenzhou at the fastest. You can just rush to the outside of Shenzhou within seven days."
"Okay, there's enough time." Datou lowered his head to eat.
"You don't have to be too anxious," Changsheng said. "The seven days I'm talking about are seven days under the best circumstances. If there is any situation on the road, seven days will not be enough. You can get there within ten days."
"Don't worry, I have Miss Bai, I can go anywhere quickly." Datou said.
Changsheng turned to look at Yang Kai and the others, "After you leave Chang'an, take a trip to Yingzhou. We have a ship there, which is mainly filled with rice and grain. You can directly inform the Yingzhou government office and let them take over. , sold the ship, and used the food on the ship to open a porridge restaurant to provide relief to the hungry people heading south."
Changsheng paused for a moment before continuing, "Yingzhou is the only way for the states in Hebei Province to go south. The false emperor previously imposed additional winter grains mainly in Hebei Province. Please inform the Yingzhou officials to stop the people going south. After the hungry people have eaten enough, they will receive dry food and return to their places of origin, and they will receive the winter food that was previously requisitioned by the imperial court from the prefecture and county of their place of origin."
The three nodded.
"By the way, I promised double wages to the ship's boss and boatmen from the sea," Changsheng said. "Don't forget about this. The ship's boss and boatmen will all be given double wages. They have followed us to escape death, so we cannot treat them badly."
"Okay." Yang Kai nodded.
Changsheng added, "Also, there are many bandits in Hebei Province, and most of these boatmen are from the south. Carrying two thousand miles of silver back home is easy for them to be robbed. Let Yingzhou send officers and soldiers to escort them along the way to ensure that they can return home safely. .”
"Your Majesty, please let go of these trivial matters..."
Before Datou could finish speaking, Changsheng waved his hand and said, "It's a small matter to us, but it's a big deal to them. Also, remember to warn the escorting officers and soldiers that anyone who dares to extort money from the boatmen on the way will be beheaded."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, Yang Kai and others nodded again. They had been following Chang Sheng for a long time, and they also knew a lot about Chang Sheng's temperament. Chang Sheng would explain things in great detail every time. This is actually a good habit. To avoid misunderstandings and deviations caused by unclear explanations, the only flaw is that he talks too much and seems not deep enough. However, Changsheng never pursues depth. Everyone has followed him for so long, and they have never seen him pretending to be pretentious. cool.
After finishing the business, Changsheng started to take the bowl to eat, and he was not paying attention while eating. The emperor must have been restless and nervous in a short period of time after suffering this disaster. After he went south to do things, he would rush directly to Hebei Road, not Returning to Chang'an again, the emperor would not be able to see him after he came to his senses, and he would definitely feel uneasy.
Thinking of this, he ordered Datou to go to the palace to see the emperor before leaving Chang'an, and inform the emperor of his and everyone's next movements, so that the emperor would be well aware of it. This approach is like a child going out to say hello to an adult. In the same way, you need to let your adults know where you are so that they don't worry unnecessarily.
After the meal, Changsheng immediately packed up and set off. In addition to a small amount of dry food, he also brought a lot of gifts. These gifts were brought by officials from various ministries when they visited in the morning. This time he was rushing to Eshan to meet Taoist Taoist Taiping. He must understand the rules and regulations. Try not to be empty-handed when visiting other people's homes.
Datou and others followed Changsheng to send Changsheng out. After Changsheng got on his horse, he remembered something and ordered Datou to run back and get a piece of jade Ruyi that the emperor had rewarded before. After injecting spiritual energy, he gave it to Datou. "When I see the emperor, give the jade Ruyi to him," he said. He told the emperor that if he encounters a crisis, just smash Jade Ruyi, and I will feel it. No matter where I am or what I am doing, I will come back to rescue you immediately."
"Your Majesty is thoughtful and considerate." Datou said in admiration.
Without any further delay, Changsheng got on his horse and rode away under the watchful eyes of Datou and others.
It was inconvenient for him to gallop on his horse since the city. After leaving Chang'an, Changsheng began to shake the reins and speed up. There were several official roads going south, one of which was leading to Hanzhong. After being apart for many days, Changsheng missed Zhang Mo very much, but when he reached the fork in the road, he We did not choose the official road to Hanzhong because it was not a smooth road and would delay us for a few more days.
In the afternoon, there were many passers-by on the official road, including many on horseback and donkeys. Changsheng rode away on the black master Juechen. Wherever he went, there were a lot of curses. It was said that he was riding so fast because he was in a hurry to reincarnate, or that he was in a hurry. Going to the funeral, Changsheng heard the passers-by's low-pitched curses but did not recognize them. After all, the black master galloped past and brought up smoke and dust that choked people.
However, he also knew that choking passers-by was not the main reason why passers-by scolded him. The passers-by scolded him mainly because they were jealous of the BMW horse under his crotch. After all, compared with the black master, the donkey and horse they rode seemed clumsy and ordinary. If you get something good that others don’t have, you should be mentally prepared to be scolded.
While rushing on the road, Changsheng was also worried about how to talk to Taiping Taoist priests when he went to Taiping Temple. The turtle treasure is a spiritual object that can see through underground treasures. You must be cautious when it comes to money. If it is not handled well, it can easily lead to misunderstandings, especially if you have been in the past. He promised to help others survive the catastrophe, but coming to ask for their beloved things at this time would be like repaying a favor.
After thinking about it, I finally made up my mind, stop being secretive, tell the truth directly, and trust the mind and mind of Taiping Taoists. You must know that the essence of any covering up and encirclement is distrust of the other party's mind and worry that the other party cannot understand it correctly.
Ashan County is located in Yezhou, far away from Chang'an. Chang Sheng rode his horse at full speed, traveling under the stars and at night, until the early morning of the next day before stopping to rest.
After a short rest, we started on the road again. It was late at night and we stopped by a small river. This was the boundary of Yezhou, less than 600 miles away from Mount Ashan.
Changsheng dismounted from his horse to relieve himself, washed his hands and face, and then sat on the beach on the shore to eat dry food.
The reason why Young Master Black is able to run non-stop for long distances is because there is corpse poison in its body. Under the influence of corpse poison, Young Master Black is not prone to getting hot and sweating, but it is a living creature after all. After running for a long time, its body temperature will still increase. As a result, when Changsheng was eating dry food, Master Hei walked in the river and cooled down with the cold water.
After eating the dry food, Changsheng took out the wooden box for drawing talismans that Li Zhongyong made for him, took out the talisman papers inside, and stamped the talisman seals one by one. After getting the talisman box, he never took the time to stamp his own talisman seals, and he did not stamp the talisman when drawing the talisman. Dharma seals and spells are ineffective.
At this moment, a black shadow appeared in the woods downstream. When he discovered the black shadow, Changsheng also heard a strange noise, with a rather scary drawl.
It was late at night, and anyone else would have been frightened to death, but Changsheng was not afraid at all. In fact, he did not see clearly what the black shadow in the woods was, but he knew that regardless of the black shadow that made the strange noise, he was not scared at all. No matter what the shadow is, it is no match for him.
Not long after, the black shadow walked out of the woods. Instead of walking on two legs, he walked on both hands and feet. At the same time, he made a strange sound from his mouth.
By this time, Chang Sheng could already see the true face of the black shadow. It was a ragged, skinny hungry man. He was too hungry to walk and could only crawl. The strange noises he made were the pain caused by excessive hunger. moan.
Seeing clearly that the person coming was a hungry man, Chang Sheng took out two flour cakes from his bag and threw them over without waiting for the other party to approach. Because the night was too dark, the man did not see the flour cakes.
Changsheng raised his left hand, activated the pure Yang spiritual energy, and produced a hot flame from the top of his left hand. When the flames came together, the surrounding area instantly lit up like daylight.
If anyone else saw such a strange situation, they would definitely think they had encountered an evil spirit and would be frightened to death. However, the hungry people were so hungry that they had no idea of fear. By the light of the fire, they saw two pancakes nearby. , ran over rolling and crawling, grabbed it in his hand, and chewed it crazily.
Changsheng withdrew his spiritual energy and sighed. When a person is hungry, he can do anything. He is not even afraid of evil spirits and ghosts. Naturally, he will not be afraid of the court and the government. He must quickly find a way to raise money for the court. The common people have already eaten. They are running out of food. If they continue to collect military rations from them, it will only force the people to rebel.
Changsheng stamped all the talisman papers in the talisman box with dharma seals, regrouped them and stuck them on his left forearm.
The hungry man ate and regained some consciousness. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Changsheng. He really regarded Changsheng as a god and ghost. While kowtowing, he muttered some nonsense.
Changsheng stood up, took out a piece of broken silver and walked over and gave it to him, "Take it, buy some food."
Just when the hungry people were grateful for the money, Changsheng suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Someone was using a spiritual token to summon him.
Changsheng has a photographic memory, and he can memorize the profound martial arts secrets by heart. Naturally, he will not forget how many spiritual energy tokens he has given away. As of yesterday, there were seven spiritual energy tokens that he had given away and had not been used by the other party. Zhang Mo There is a hairpin with his spiritual energy in his hand, Takeda Mayumi has a wooden comb with his spiritual energy in his hand, Taiping Taoist Priest has a spiritual energy branch in his hand, Yang Kai, Yu Yishi Xuanming and the others have two spiritual energy wooden boards in their hands, Chen There is also a spiritual branch at the beginning of autumn, and there is Yu Ruyi who was entrusted to the emperor yesterday.
This time the aura was coming from six hundred miles away in the southwest, where Taiping Temple was located.
At this moment, Changsheng was in a good mood, and he was worried that it would be too presumptuous to come to ask for it. He never thought that Taiping Taoist would actually burn the spiritual energy token to invite him. He really wanted to eat a toad with four legs.
Thinking of this, I immediately picked up my baggage and called Mr. Hei to come ashore, then turned over and galloped southward...
