When the boat arrived at the dock outside Gucheng, it was still dark.
When Fang Sheng happily pulled Xiang Shaolong to get off the boat and go fool around, he called Zhang Quan to Xiang Shaolong and said, "Miss Feng wants to use the car. Go and prepare it."
Xiang Shaolong said in astonishment: "Where is the car?"
Zhang Quan said displeasedly: "Are your eyes grown to look at your butt? Is there a carriage parked at the pier?"
As soon as Xiang Shaolong said these words, he knew he would be scolded.
Although the carriage was on another ship, it should have driven down by now, but he was so anxious that he couldn't escape, so he talked nonsense.
Fang Sheng secretly gave him a tug, and he followed Fang Sheng to the platform and walked off the boat.
In the chaos, someone suddenly pushed him hard from behind. He was stunned, lost his balance, fell forward, and bumped into Fang Sheng's back.
The two stumbled down the gangplank and fell straight to the dock. If there weren't handrails on both sides of the gangplank, they might have fallen into the river.
Xiang Shaolong got up, and Fang Sheng held his left foot, sweating from the pain, and his face was distorted.
Roaring laughter erupted on the boat.
I saw Gu Ming and other charioteers, hugging a short and strong man like a strong man, laughing and laughing at them.
Someone shouted: "Look at Shen Liang, you are tall and strong. It turned out to be a silver-like wax spear head, which is useless. Our elder brother Wu Xun accidentally touched it lightly and fell to the ground. You said you are proficient in martial arts." .”
Xiang Shaolong recognized that the person who spoke was named Fu Yan, who was a backbone member of Gu Ming's party of charioteers, and at the same time he secretly remembered the general named Wu Xun.
Zhang Quan appeared at the stern of the boat and shouted angrily at Gu Ming and others: "What's going on?"
Gu Ming took his time and said, "They both can't even walk. It's no wonder who came."
Then they rushed down the pier and roared away.
Zhang Quan glared at the disgraced Xiang Shaolong angrily, cursed "useless guy", and turned around.
Xiang Shaolong was really angry and silently helped Fang Sheng up. Fang Sheng still screamed and said: "My leg is broken."
Xiang Shaolong could not wait to chase Gu Ming and others immediately and kill them all. He apologized: "I am the one who tired you."
Fang Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "They wanted to hurt you and teach you not to drive. Alas, you and I don't have to have fun tonight."
At this time, several charioteers rushed down and assisted Xiang Shaolong in helping Fang Sheng onto the boat.
As we approached the deck, a female voice shouted: "What the hell are you doing? How dare you block Miss Feng's way."
Xiang Shaolong felt something bad in his heart, lowered his head and bowed his body, and helped the roommate move aside.
A furtive glance revealed the veiled Feng Fei Ying Ying standing in front of her. Next to her was Xiao Ping'er, who was still wearing men's clothing, and four other pretty maids. Surrounded by more than a dozen famous ladies, this beauty was looking at herself.
Xiao Ping'er obviously didn't recognize him, and said with an angry look on his face: "What happened?"
Zhang Quan and another person came out of nowhere, and when they were about to speak, the handsome middle-aged man next to them rushed to say: "It was just an unintentional collision." Then he shouted to Xiang Shaolong: "You are the one A new guy? It's really useless. Why don't you get out of here, do you want the eldest lady to wait for you?"
Zhang Quan's expression changed when he heard him criticizing Sang and Huai.
Feng Fei's voice sounded out from within the veil, "Deputy Manager Sha", which sounded implicitly reproachful.
Shali had achieved his goal and remained silent proudly.
Feng Fei glanced at Xiang Shaolong and said calmly: "Be careful in the future. After helping Fangsheng back to his room, he will come down to set up the car."
Xiang Shaolong wiped his hands with cold sweat and knew that their master and servant could not recognize him.
Watching her step off the gangplank while being cheered and swarmed, I could only smile bitterly in my heart.
In this case, he would never think about running away.
What's more, he felt that Fang Sheng's leg injury had not healed all day, so he should stay and take care of Fang Sheng.
This is Xiang Shaolong's principle of life.
At some point, the powdery snow started to fall again.
Under the hazy light of dusk, the fine snow danced softly and feebly, seeming to reluctantly fall to the ground to end the short but touching journey.
Everything is slowed down and purified.
Xiang Shaolong rides a strong horse and rides with beauty.
Four generals in front opened the way, followed by eight generals behind.
Ao Xiang, the commander of the Wei army, also brought more than ten personal followers to accompany him on both sides, which further showed that Feng Fei was highly respected by the dignitaries from all over the world.
She is like an artist of the 21st century who excels in both sex and art. The songs and lyrics she composes are all popular for a while, and she is beyond the comparison of ordinary karaoke singers who sell their sex.
In such a situation where people are constantly shouting at each other, even if Xiang Shaolong doesn't have the burden of having a house, he still can't escape.
It's not that it's impossible, but it will make Ao Xiang suspicious.
The best thing is that Ao Xiang naturally thought that Xiang Shaolong was the charioteer who had been working for Feng Fei for many years, so he was not suspicious of him at all.
He had no idea where his destination was, so he just chased after the general in front of him.
With the ticking of hoofs, the team of carriages and horses drove unimpeded into the ancient city trapped in a vast expanse of white.
Most shops are open, but you can still tell from the signboards that this city is dominated by crafts such as carpentry, embroidery, weavers and sewing.
Although Xiang Shaolong is not someone who has a deep understanding of culture, due to his strong observation skills, he feels that this city has a more fragrant and antique atmosphere than any city he has visited before.
At this time, Ao Xiang rode up to the carriage, lowered his head and spoke to Feng Fei: "In the past, Han Xuanzi of the old Jin Dynasty came to the state of Lu. When he saw the classics collected by Lu Taishi, he sighed, 'All the rites of Zhou are in Lu.'
Miss Feng should feel something when she revisits her hometown."
Xiang Shaolong's heart moved, and he realized that this city originally belonged to the State of Lu. After the fall of Lu, it fell into the hands of the Wei people at some point.
Even Confucius was born in this land. No wonder it has a cultural atmosphere that is not found in other countries.
Feng Fei sighed faintly and said: "It is precisely because of this that we are tired. If we Lu people were not stubborn and conservative, clinging to the classics, rituals and music, we would not have been controlled by Qi first, and then Wu and Yue. Although we are praised as a country of gentlemen,
, it’s not just the hatred of the subjugation of the country. Lord Ao is overly praised."
Xiang Shaolong was filled with emotion when he heard her sour tone. It turned out that she was not the princess of the Song Kingdom, but the princess of the Lu Kingdom. However, Lu and Song are adjacent, and maybe both countries have something to do with her.
Ao Xiang was flattering him in the wrong place. After rambling awkwardly, he saw that Feng Fei had no interest in talking and retreated back to his original position.
The cavalry turned left and right, gradually leaving the main road and heading towards a remote area in the west of the city.
In the light of the wind lantern, under the miserable wind and snow, it's like moving forward in an endless dream.
Xiang Shaolong felt dejected that the beauty behind him returned to his homeland. He imagined that when Xiaopan unified the world in the future, Ao Xiang and others would become people like her who had lost their country, and he couldn't help but feel another emotion.
The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk
This may be a portrayal of the current six Eastern countries.
The horse team passed through a sparse forest and stopped at a mausoleum.
Xiang Shaolong suddenly realized that Feng Fei came here to offer sacrifices to a certain ancestor.
Feng Fei waited for everyone to get out of the car, and Ao Xiang accompanied her as she walked toward the mausoleum, disappearing behind the trees.
Xiang Shaolong and others left Wei Bing where he was, and after a while there were faint sounds of crying.
When they turned around, except Fengfei, whose face was hidden by the veil, Xiao Ping'er and others all had their beautiful eyes swollen from crying.
It was late at night when we got back to the boat.
Gu Ming and others all slipped to the shore and had a great time, leaving Fang Sheng with an indignant look on his face.
Xiang Shaolong saw that his left foot was randomly tied with some cloth and asked, "What's wrong?"
Fang Sheng's eyes turned red and he said, "If my foot can't be healed, I will fight for them."
Xiang Shaolong had been trained in the general bone-setting medical technique of breaking and beating, so he untied the tied cloth, felt and studied it, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's just that the bones have been moved, so I can endure some pain. "
When Fang Sheng screamed and tears came out of his eyes, Xiang Shaolong also completed the feat.
Fang Sheng stood up and tried to take two steps. He was surprised and said: "Brother Shen really has a skill."
Xiang Shaolong patted the mat beside him and said with a smile: "Sit down, I have something to say to Brother Fang."
Fang Sheng's mood at this time was completely different from just now. He sat down happily and said, "Brother Shen, please tell me."
Xiang Shaolong took out the two ingots of gold from his pocket, held them in his palms, and brought them to his eyes.
Fang Sheng's eyes immediately widened to the limit, and he exhaled a breath of cold air and said, "This is gold."
Just two ingots of gold are enough for ordinary people to live a lifetime without worries.
Xiang Shaolong put the gold into his hand and whispered: "This is yours."
Fang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "How can I accept Brother Shen's gold?"
Xiang Shaolong lied to him and said, "I have ten ingots of gold like this. Master Wuji gave them to me when he knew it was inevitable. Brother Fang just wanted them, and then pretended that he had broken his leg and left this little boy." A song and dance troupe where everyone is in charge, pursuing their own ideal life."
Fang Sheng grabbed the gold and said in surprise: "Brother Shen is so rich, why do you come to live with us?"
Xiang Shaolong joked: "To be honest, I took the opportunity to leave Daliang this time. Since the death of Mr. Wuji, no one like us old people dared to use him. I was not willing to be ordinary, so I took the opportunity to come to Qi to try my luck. .”
Fang Sheng said with tears of gratitude: "I can't thank you enough. With these two pieces of gold and my savings over the past two years, I will ask for my resignation tomorrow morning."
After thinking for a while, he said: "If we had gone together, Shali would never let you go if he was narrow-minded, while Zhang Quan would just use you. Even if Brother Shen dies, he won't shed a single tear." "
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Brother Fang is gone, and I no longer have any worries. Our fall will never be in vain."
Fang Sheng stared at him blankly. At this moment, he felt as if Xiang Shaolong had changed into another person.
That night, Fang Sheng couldn't wait and told Zhang Quan that he was leaving the group due to a leg injury.
Zhang Quan had no intention of retaining him. On the pretext that he was resigning on his own, he casually gave him a measly ten copper coins and asked him to leave the ship tomorrow morning.
Fang Sheng angrily told Xiang Shaolong that he should have received a considerable amount of retirement allowance. Needless to say, it was already in Zhang Quan's bag.
Of course, he wouldn't really take this to heart, because the two ingots of gold already satisfied him.
The next morning, Xiang Shaolong sent him off the boat, and when he was hesitating whether to disappear with him, Gu Ming and others came back. They ridiculed the two of them as they passed by, and then boarded the boat.
Xiang Shaolong saw that the docks were crowded with Wei soldiers and Zhang Quan on the boat was watching him with eager eyes, so he said goodbye to Fang Sheng, suppressed the impulse in his heart, and returned to the boat.
The fleet sets off.
When Xiang Shaolong saw the other servants and charioteers, they were afraid to talk to him as if they were avoiding the plague. Zhang Quan's group of people ignored him as if he were useless. He felt funny in his heart. He took his breakfast and hid in a corner of the deck to eat.
.
But in his heart, he was thinking about how to make trouble with him so that he could force Feng Fei to fire him, and then he could leave in a big way, and no one would be suspicious of him.
However, the timing must be right. It is best to make trouble before replenishing food and water at the next stop, so that you can be kicked off the ship when it docks at the dock.
At first, he felt a little guilty for taking someone else's job, but now he realizes that he helped that person prevent a disaster.
Gu Ming and the others were apparently under orders from Deputy Steward Sha Li and vowed to force him out.
That Shali was very good-looking, and it was probably because of this talent that he hooked up with a powerful servant. After his strength increased, he came to seize Zhang Quan's lucrative position.
While thinking about it, a pair of small boots appeared in front of me.
Xiang Shaolong looked up in astonishment. His sight was blocked by the girl's breasts, so he couldn't see her appearance. He stood up in surprise. It turned out to be the close pet of the second young lady Dong Shuzhen.
Maid Sister Xiaoling.
She glanced at him with a half-smile, then snorted: "Are you that troublemaking Shen Liang?"
Xiang Shaolong has decided to leave the ship at the next stop, but he still has to sell her account. He regains his previous all-powerful spirit and smiles: "Sister Xiaoling has won the award. No one is making fun of her, so what trouble can happen?"
Sister Xiaoling never thought that Xiang Shaolong would be so tit-for-tat. She was shocked and changed her face and said: "How brave do you know who you are talking to?"
Xiang Shaolong crossed his arms on his chest and said calmly: "The state has national laws, and every family has its own rules. Nothing can escape a single word. I am alone now, but others are in groups. Sister Xiaoling, let me comment."
, who has the qualifications to cause trouble?"
Sister Xiaoling was at a loss for words. When she spoke eloquently, how could she be the opponent of Xiang Shaolong, who was used to seeing big scenes? She was so angry that her face turned red. She stared at him fiercely for a few times, then put her hands on her hips and scolded: "Are you
I don’t want to do it anymore”
Xiang Shaolong calmed down and said, "Is this the decision that should be made by Manager Zhang or Miss Feng?"
Sister Xiaoling has always been the only one to curse, and the servant who had a status like Xiang Shaolong once contradicted her. She was so angry that she stomped away.
Xiang Shaolong watched her walk to Gu Ming's group on the other side, and summoned Gu Ming into the cabin. He knew that the show was coming, and secretly felt funny. He turned around and admired the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river after the snow stopped.
He was almost certain that the person Sha Li hooked up with was the pretty maid Xiao Ling. She might even have the support of Dong Shuzhen, the number two figure in the song and dance troupe, so she dared to challenge Zhang Quan's power.
When he was thinking about the route to escape back to the Qin Kingdom, someone tapped him on the shoulder.
Xiang Shaolong looked away and saw a family general who was also one of the people who escorted Feng Fei to the city for sacrifice last night.
The general said: "Master Zhang wants to see you."
Xiang Shaolong saw that he didn't dare to look directly at him when he spoke. He didn't know what was going on, so he smiled and said, "What do you call this elder brother?"
The man said: "My name is Xu Ran, come with me."
Xiang Shaolong's heart felt hot and his hands and feet itched at the same time, so he followed him into the cabin.
