It was a crisp autumn day in September. Wu Shigong and his party were walking by the road. In the fields, the wheat was like a golden ocean that could not be seen at a glance. After the breeze, layers of waves were stirred up. The low parts of the waves were exposed.
I saw the backs of farmers one by one. They were all busy with the autumn harvest. In the distant sky, a row of wild geese formed a neat "one" shape and slowly flew towards the south. Looking at the row of wild geese, Wu Shigong felt a surge in his heart.
Melancholy.
But having said that, after leaving the capital, although Wu Shigong felt a little regretful, he also felt relaxed in his heart. Now Emperor Chongzhen has ascended the throne. Although there seems to be no movement yet, Wei Zhongxian is still active in his position, but it is conceivable that in the near future
, Wei Zhongxian definitely had no good fruits to eat. As for his father-in-law Xue Lian, as the "Wei Party" with a label on his forehead, although he showed some support when Chongzhen came to the throne, he also gained a certain favor from Chongzhen, but
As long as Chongzhen truly takes power, he will definitely be on the bench.
And if he were still in the position of commanding the Nancheng Military and Horse Command Department, Emperor Chongzhen would never tolerate himself as Xue Lian's son-in-law, dangling under his nose. Besides, he was making too much money, even though he was everywhere
I also realized that on the surface it seems to be all-rounded, but in fact it definitely offends a lot of people.
Although Wu Shigong didn't know the allusion of "Chong'er is outside", he always understood the principle of avoiding the limelight when in danger. Even if he was sent out of the capital now, Chongzhen could be considered to have punished Xue Lian. As long as Xue Lian
To be honest, I should say that I am still very safe for a period of time.
He gave Eunuch Qin four thousand taels of silver, and gave Chongzhen's eldest companion, the eunuch Wang Chengen, a gambling house with an annual income of nearly twenty thousand taels of silver. In exchange, he only received a thousand-household office that could only serve as an agent for six years.
Some onlookers may think it's not worth it, but Wu Shigong doesn't see it that way.
If I stay shamelessly in the capital, in a few months at most, my hat as a military commander will be thrown off. By then, I will be living at home and have no power, and I will not be able to save the gambling house. It is already necessary.
I am already very satisfied with what I can get in exchange for what I lost. Besides, there are many people who understand that they have made money. If they meet someone with a dark heart, they may swallow themselves whole. By that time,
Even if I regret, I have no place to cry.
But now, at least I still have an official position. Having an official position is better than sitting idle in the capital. I am so tall that even those who are envious of me can't find their target. What makes me even more satisfied is that I
Now it was a military position, and he could legitimately recruit troops. With troops, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when Li Zicheng rebelled and Qing troops invaded the country, he at least had the ability to protect himself.
Even in the end, whether Li Zicheng succeeds in his rebellion or the Qing Dynasty overthrows the Ming Dynasty, as long as he has the strength, even if he sells himself to them, he can still get a good price. Wu Shigong now has no dream of dominating one party or competing in the world. Too much
It's ridiculous. With the nearly 200 people he has with him now, even if he adds the more than 1,000 people from Senhushuo, if he wants to have a relationship with those heroes, it is not a dream, but sleepwalking.
Already.
Let other time-travelers do the glorious mission of eradicating troubled times, safeguarding the bloodline of the Han family, and resisting alien invasions!
As for him, he can only act as an agent for six years now, but after such a long time, he can always think of a way. At most, he will lay a dirty trick and let the little boy who inherits the position of Qianhu after he becomes an adult die suddenly.
After meeting Zhao Ruya and Li Xin's carriage outside the city, Xue Yongli and Wu Shigong discussed it. Then Xue Yongli arranged for two people to take the money and quickly go to Tongzhou. They arranged the group's accommodation in Tongzhou and hired a boat in advance. Wu Shigong
I also told the two of them Zhang Chunyu's name and situation, and if possible, asked Zhang Chunyu, a local snake, to help.
As soon as the group set off, they heard the rapid sound of horse hooves coming from behind, and the people on the horses kept shouting: "Wait! Wait!"
Wu Shigong turned around and saw Zhou Xun running over on a fast horse, sweating profusely. When he stopped in front of him and saw a baggage on his back, Wu Shigong teased him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You are running away from home.
ah?"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xun blushed when he saw Wu Shigong and was speechless.
Wu Shigong suddenly understood and exclaimed in surprise: "You really ran away from home! Didn't you tell your father?"
"I have grown up and can make the decision for myself." Zhou Xun stammered in defense. Feeling that the reason was not sufficient, he added, "Follow the grown-ups, you have the energy!"
Wu Shigong laughed loudly when he heard this, and gestured to Zhou Xun: "Since you feel energetic, let's follow you." So Zhou Xun immediately rode into the team with a smile on his face. Wu Shigong then told Zhou Xun: "Go to Tongzhou
At that time, write a letter to your father to ensure that you are safe, and I will send someone to send it back." Zhou Xun nodded quickly and agreed.
After walking for a while, there was another rapid sound of horse hooves from behind, and the man on the horse kept shouting: "Wait! Wait!"
Wu Shigong couldn't laugh or cry, why is there no end today? Could it be that after traveling to today, his domineering spirit was revealed, attracting heroes to come to him one after another?
Looking back, it turned out that Zhou Shikun and two men were chasing after him on horseback. The team separated a lane, allowing Zhou Shikun to run to Zhou Xun, so that the father and son could meet each other.
Zhou Shikun's face was livid. After nodding to Wu Shigong, he looked straight at Zhou Xun. After looking at it for a long time, he sighed and took a large bundle from his horse and handed it to Zhou Xun: "This is for you."
There is still some money left in the clothes that mom packed for you, so be more careful when you go out."
Zhou Xun also rode over, took the bundle, and called out: "Dad!" Tears welled up in his eyes.
week
If so." Then he turned to the two people he brought with him, clasped his fists and saluted, "I'm sorry to trouble you two brothers."
The two men hurriedly returned the greeting, saying, "You're welcome."
Zhou Shikun sighed again, calmed down his emotions, clasped his fists and said to Wu Shigong: "I will leave the dog to the adults."
Wu Shigong's face was solemn, and he clasped his fists seriously and replied: "If you don't say false words, it is: my brothers share life and death."
After Zhou Xun kowtowed to Zhou Shikun several times, the team set off again. After breaking up, the team was silent for a long, long time.
As dusk approached, the group of people arrived at Tongzhou City. Zhang Chunyu and the two people who had been standing there had been waiting by the avenue for a long time. Seeing Wu Shigong and others arriving, they quickly welcomed them into the inn they had booked. It was not until Wu Shigong and others made arrangements that Zhang Chunyu
Go back. The next morning, I went to the inn early to wait, took them to Tongzhou Pier, and arranged for them to get on the scheduled boat.
It took a whole morning to get people, horses, vehicles and luggage onto the ship. Wu Shigong looked at this situation and thought to himself: When we get to Qianhusuo in Guide, we must train these guys hard and assemble urgently.
This subject must be regarded as a key training item.
Zhang Chunyu stayed with Wu Shigong and others until they finished loading the ship. When they were about to board the ship, Wu Shigong said to Zhang Chunyu: "Thank you, I won't say more. We have a long way to go." After saying that, he said goodbye.
It was after noon that the fleet officially set off.
