Chapter 9 The Human World
Deng Yi and his party rested at the inn for a night, arranged for the delivery of a letter to King Feige of Zhongshan, and set off again.
The King of Zhongshan helped stop him, but the man could not let the King of Zhongshan send him to Beijing, so they continued to move forward to meet up with the King of Zhongshan.
The people were gone, and the wind was blowing sand and dust. The postmaster stood outside the postmaster, narrowing his eyes, landing his hands on his waist, touching his empty wallet.
Things that happened these days eventually turned into a dream.
"Sir." A postman came over, "That Afu turned out to be the daughter of General Chu Wei. This little girl is really a lie. Others talk about it, but she beats the drums and brings out a troupe."
The Yicheng sneered: "Lie? You are belittling her. She is not a liar. She is simply a bandit!"
It is obvious that you are spending so much money, one by one, and one by one, making everyone play around with each other.
Yicheng thought of Ah Fu, and often lowered his head, occasionally looking up at someone, his eyes actually looked really fierce.
I didn't take it seriously at that time, but I was a little girl after all.
Well——The post soldier named Ajiu asked so carefully at the time. Did he notice something was wrong?
Yicheng shook his head again, so what? In the end, Ajiu brought her. This story is so perfect. Who would have thought that this little girl spent money to invite someone to perform it?
However, it is really strange that Chu Ku's daughter is like this.
Thinking about it again, it is not surprising that Chu Ku did much more than a little girl lying to others.
"Sir." The postman asked curiously, "What's going on with General Chu Wei? It sounds like he is unknown. After all, his official position is so low, but he is very famous when mentioned, and everyone knows it."
The postmaster looked at him and said that the postmaster was still young, only seventeen or eighteen years old. When Chu Ku was in the limelight, this kid was still thirsty.
"When General Chu was as old as you," he said, "it became famous."
"I don't know how he won the favor of His Majesty. It is said that His Majesty visited the military camp in a private manner, and he beat His Majesty off the horse as a spy, and he didn't know whether it was true or false. If it was true, then Chu Ku would be a rebellious boy at the beginning."
"Later, he left the capital and went to work as a small school in the border county. He was good at fighting and was extremely brave. He reversed the situation where Xiliang was in the border county and was in a state of no one. He beat the King of Xiliang to the emperor for peace and called him brothers."
"Chu Ku is rising steadily, and he is promoted to General Wei in one breath. The general is just around the corner."
"Your Majesty is extremely favored to him. He can also communicate with His Majesty without going through the Secretary of the Weiwei Mansion."
"For him, the post station is equipped with post soldiers to deliver letters."
I have never heard of this kind of favor. The postman was shocked, but he was puzzled: "Then why did he only become a general of the guard in the end? He has been in the border county. I heard that he has not left for more than ten years."
The border counties are not a good place. The generals come and go, and only those who can stay for so long are the only criminals who have been sent to the exile?
Yicheng smiled: "The old saying goes, good fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and it is not good to have a lot of favors. Chu Ku was young and frivolous, arrogant and arrogant, and finally was arrogant and lawless, and hit His Majesty. If it weren't for his military achievements, let alone General Wei, his life might have been gone."
At this moment, the postman was even more curious: "What mistake did you make?"
The postmaster paused for a moment and thought for a while: "The cause should be the suppression of bandits. In the border counties, Xiliang was raging, the people were living in poverty, horse thieves and bandits everywhere. In addition to blocking Xiliang, Chu Ku was also ordered to suppress bandits. However, when he suppressed bandits, he privately let the bandits go and was impeached by local officials. When His Majesty questioned him, he accused His Majesty of rampaging of bandits because His Majesty was incompetent in governance-"
The postman opened his mouth wide when he heard this: "This, this is too brave!"
The official secretary looked like he saw through the world: "It's not surprising that once a military general is valued by the emperor, it's easy for him to do this. He will not accept the orders of the outside king. He will say some crazy words, do some arrogant things, and destroy his future."
The postman shook his head: "Your Majesty is not an exaggeration to chop his head. He is so kind to keep him as the general of the guard."
The postmaster looked at the direction of the border county with his hands in his arms: "From then on, Chu Ku was abandoned by His Majesty in the border county, and he became a common person."
The postman curled his lips, "I deserve it. With such a criminal father, Miss Chu dares to be so arrogant. She really doesn't know how to be so arrogant."
Is Miss Chu arrogant? Yicheng touched his fat belly, and on the outside, he was not qualified to evaluate this Miss Chu, after all, he was deceived.
This time I was so busy that I was empty-handed and almost lost my official position. I avoided Chu Ku and could not provoke Miss Chu.
"Go and go to work."
"Let your eyes be highlighted!"
"Receive all kindness!"
......
......
The more you go north, the more the wind and cold the heavier it. When night falls, you hide in the north wind, and ignite the bonfire, and the stiff body gradually recovers.
Zhang Gu took off his scarf, let out a breath, and patted his companions around him: "Do you still have dry food? Let me take a bite."
Before my companion could speak, someone next to me handed over half a piece of dried rabbit meat.
"Master Zhang, you bake this." The female voice was timid.
Zhang Gu turned his head and looked at the girl wrapped in a turban: "Afu, this rabbit meat was a few days ago, right? Why are you--"
"I marinated it with herbs. Mr. Zhang, don't worry, it didn't break." Ah Fu hurriedly explained, and then wiped the rabbit meat with his hands, "It's not dirty, it's herb residue."
Zhang Gu smiled: "Afu, I don't dislike it. I mean, this is for you, why haven't you finished it?"
Afu shook his head: "I have eaten less and I can't finish it. Thank you Jun Ye, please work hard, I will give it to Jun Ye."
"You silly girl." Zhang Gu pushed the rabbit meat back, "Now we are on the same journey. Who works harder than who? Your thin body is even harder, eat it quickly!"
"Zhang Junye is really a kind person." Ah Fu said, his eyes exposed outside were full of gratitude.
A hand stretched out across and took away the rabbit meat.
"It's not good if you eat too much in your little body." He said, "I will not be supplemented with deficiency."
Ah Fu didn't say anything, Zhang Gu was helpless: "Ah Jiu, don't always make trouble with a child."
Ajiu sat down beside him: "What kind of child, Brother Zhang, I am not a few years older than her, I am also a child."
He also reached out to gesture between himself and Afu.
He sat down with long hands and feet, almost equal to Afu standing.
"Look, we're almost the same." He laughed.
Zhang Gu glared at him and looked at Ah Fu again. Ah Fu had retreated and sat quietly beside the campfire. Her sister took out the dry food and roasted it on the fire.
Ajiu waved the rabbit meat on the fire twice, then started to snatch it and eat it.
"Brother Zhang, you can try it, it's really good." He said.
Zhang Gu snorted, "I am an adult, I won't compete for food with your children."
Ajiu laughed loudly.
The other postmen also laughed, took out dry food and wine, and ate and drank lively. You can't drink too much wine, just to drive away the cold, and it's enough for everyone to drink one or two sips.
"That Ah Fu, what, do you want to drink some?" Ah Jiu asked on purpose.
I remember the name Afu, but her sister was taciturn all the way and stuck to Afu's side all the time, like a shadow, and no one remembered her name until now.
"Thank you, Junjun." Ah Fu thanked, "Just let me drink hot water."
Afu's sister hung a small pottery bottle on the bonfire, containing the incoming water. When the water was heated, it poured onto a cotton cloth and pulled Afu's hand and rubbed it gently.
After washing your hands, take out a pottery cup and pour water. This is what you can drink.
Afu was holding a pottery cup in one hand and drinking water by his sister in the other hand. The faint fragrance of the medicine spreads.
It is hard to walk in the middle of winter, and frostbite is easily caused by frostbite on hands and faces. Afu's sister prepared ointment to relieve her sister.
"As the saying goes, the elder sister is like a mother." Zhang Gu also saw it and whispered, "It's really good to have a sister."
Ajiu took the wine pot that was passed to his hand, raised his head and drank, saying, "No need, it's the same with a maid. My maid is so careful. No matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, I always remember to apply scent to me carefully."
