In the next few days, Zhang Xing kept saying that he was ill at home, and then tried his best to donate the silk, which attracted Taoist temples in the surrounding area to visit frequently to ask for alms. However, this did not delay his family's increasing money and people.
The more you feel guilty.
There were really more and more people. After another three or four days, 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 benefits of their trip to Jiangdong.
Came 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. The rest were sold to Yan Qing of Bei City. The key is that all the calligraphy and painting treasures are
He is well-known all over the world, but if it is left in his hands now, it is just like a hot potato.
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 jealousy. Now it is 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 that was 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 are fully opened, and Zhang Sanlang has just completely opened the ninth main meridians a few years ago, and is starting 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 be a little overwhelmed but not able...
In fact, 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. Even in the black tower of Jing'antai, Cao Zhongcheng did not lose his dignity.
, came to embarrass his subordinates, and still issued the order to inspect Huaibei as promised, and asked Bai Yousi's inspection team to work with relevant personnel from the Ministry of War to properly handle the matters involving Chen Ling and the Long Whale Gang.
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 received an amnesty, and hurriedly donated the last two hundred pieces of silk to the Black Emperor Temple.
Then he summoned Yan Qing and handed over the blackmailed calligraphy and painting to him, asking him to cash it in. It meant that it was okay to lose a little, but before he came back, he had to exchange it for silver, or even gold.
"That's all. There's something I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
The day before departure, Li Ding came over regularly. After hearing about the next day's itinerary, he neither continued to guide the practice nor accompanied him to discuss government affairs, military affairs, customs and geography. Instead, he mentioned an unexpected topic. "This trip will be with you.
The member of the Ministry of War, Wai Lang, who went with me for propaganda purposes, is a very interesting person, and 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 very similar to you at first glance." Li Ding was trying to figure out the words with dark circles under his eyes. "It's not the kind of resemblance in appearance, but the superficial resemblance."
"What specifically?" Zhang Xing ignored the other party's strange description, but naturally became interested.
"First of all, his origin is unclear." Li Ding introduced seriously. "Anyway, like you, he never talks about his origin, but I have read the text about his origin. He should be of Wu clan descent, and his mother remarried...also because
With this bloodline, although he works very hard in cultivation, he has never been able to rely on his cultivation, which is a bit like you."
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; he also started late in cultivation, so he actually turned on a cheating device, and became naturally connected 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 any hope of getting married, 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 affairs is also very similar. You are both very good at writing documents. You often use documents to exonerate people. Others know clearly 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 trick as him. Dongdu City is indeed too big.
"In the end, you are all equally resourceful, scheming, and willing to make progress." Li Ding continued to speak seriously. "You are really knowledgeable, discerning, and able to see clearly behind things and people. And some of you are not.
There are loopholes in everything."
Zhang Xing became more and more interested, but he still remembered the other person'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 really thought it was a good idea to talk to me when you let me go, and he let me go.
I most likely want to follow me to find the mountain stronghold. When we get there, he may not dare to scold me because he is concerned about the lives of the people in the mountain stronghold. For example, I think he can also think of the matter of your fame this time.
I have the same idea as you, but I am determined not to enter the mountain in person, or if I enter the mountain, I will ask Qin Bao to be the first to show up, and I 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 his cultivation level, can only use all his strength.
You have to find a way to climb up, but you can't help but be selfish and lose your 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. When he was getting the compass, he saw the golden cone and wrapped it in satin.
, tied around his waist, then went to the horse gallery to fetch the yellow gelding, and went out again with Qin Bao, 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, but Bai Yousi was also talking about something.
I 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 remained silent, but Qian Tang was in good spirits. I don't know if he received Bai Yousi's silence, but he pointed to 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 Jiuro of the Ministry of War and the Timely Rain King. 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. He does not look like he is 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 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 threw down the yellow gelding, hurriedly 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'an Terrace, because Qin Bao and I went to Mangdang Mountain this time, things have already happened.
We are going to move the two of us up two places on the ranking list, and the newly added 300th place is said to have been accumulated by King 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 what happened at Mangdang Mountain, I was compared to Mr. Chen of Nanya in Taichung, so my reputation was so great that I even had to receive a regular annual gift during the New Year.
Change hands and send them out to avoid disaster... If it's my turn to get involved in the human rankings, how can I help myself to climb up?"
"I see." Wang Daiji let out a long sigh. "I'm just telling you why you donated hundreds of pieces of silk. But from this point of view, the two of us are in somewhat similar situations."
"Who says it's not the case?" Zhang Xing finally took the opportunity to reach out and hold the other person's hand. "Otherwise, why would we fall in love at first sight? To be honest with Wang Jiulang, when 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 chatting a little. Only Bai Yousi, who didn't know when
, had already sat 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 his newcomer Zhou Xingfan arrived from Jing'an Terrace to collect 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 the previous trip from there 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. It was really hard. But now
, going from Dongdu to Huaishang, it is the New Year season after the new year. Although it is only one month later, it is obviously youthful, especially going from northwest to southeast, as if it is speeding up to welcome 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 do everything comprehensively. When I left today, I relied on the authority of the court and the Yitian Sword in Bai Yousi's hand to take the initiative to attack, and 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, who was previously in command of Luoyang, is now said to have gone to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
All I can say is that since we have many relatives, it doesn’t matter if we eat and drink for free.
During the day, there was no need to say anything about bathing, socializing, and banquets. In the evening, each person had a room, which was also spacious. And at night, suddenly a wind blew. Zhang Xing lay on the couch with his head up, and heard the spring breeze outside the house.
He was so surprised that he was so drunk and full of food that he didn't bother to get up and look.
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 had come to a head, which was in the way of morality.
, favors, responsibilities, just do it one by one, and then never have your own plan and purpose.
There are definitely emotions and thoughts, and there are definitely some 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.
Pressed it.
This is very similar to how we encountered various troubles during our 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 finish off Chen Ling and the Whale Gang, but I don't know when will someone take the initiative in my life?
I don’t know which god or gods 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,
The Wei Dynasty is still like the Qin Dynasty in his own world. The Sui Dynasty suddenly collapsed. 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. There was a big 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?
Do you want to continue a feudal central empire, or do you do your best to be a pioneer who is unable to do your best to make the people live a better life? Even if you do these things, do you want to assist someone, or do 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 going smoothly 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 will be able to stretch out in the future if he bends down for a long time.
Just as I 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 my head.
Zhang Xing was so shocked that he turned over and sat up, and realized again that Chun Lei was supposed to be like this...but he didn't realize until now that he had actually 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, as natural and appropriate as the flowers in front of the moon and the moon. "Are you also coming out to listen to thunder?"
"yes."
Zhang Xing looked at the top of his head that was completely covered by the night, sighed in response, but blurted out, "Lian Guangyu has a lot of thoughts on his mind, and he listens to the thunder in a silent place."
Wang Daiji was startled for a moment, and then sighed: "What a poem! What a 'My mind is so vast that Lian Guangyu listens to thunder in a silent place'! It really captures 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 himself 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? But it turned out to be more appropriate to the occasion.
