The excited people turned their heads and looked around. The voice was clearly audible across the crowd, and the owner of the voice was particularly conspicuous in the crowd.
This person is as long as bamboo, wearing a green cloth monk's robe, straw sandals and a bamboo hat. He holds a wooden staff in one hand and puts the other hand in front of him. He is a monk.
As he watched, his voice floated out from under the bamboo hat again: "Everyone is in ruins, and hell on earth is about to begin."
The people around him were stunned and immediately became uproar.
"Nonsense!"
"Mrs. Chu is the most benevolent person. She calms the troubled times and saves the people."
The lowered bamboo hat was lifted up, revealing a dusty face with sharp eyes. He shouted: "Mrs. Chu is an evil ghost."
The loud shout shocked the hearts of the people around him and left them speechless.
Monk Mu stopped drinking, looked at the people around him, and said in a deep voice: "Putting out fires is a good thing, but dikes are broken to divert water to put out fires. When the fire subsides, the water submerges. The people who should have died were not burned to death by the fire, but drowned by the water.
People who were not in danger of fire fell into the mire of the ocean, and those who set fires were evil spirits. Aren't the people who did this not evil spirits?"
The people around looked at the monk who had raised his hat. They didn't know whether they were shocked by the words or by the monk's true appearance. Their expressions were stunned.
Suddenly a person came back to his senses and shouted: "I know!"
Monk Mu looked at this person. Is anyone enlightened?
The man pointed at Monk Mu: "He is what the government calls a spy!"
spy?!
Monk Mu lowered his gaze and sighed softly.
The people around were woken up by the shout and looked at the speaker. The speaker's voice was loud.
"I was working as a waiter at an inn outside the city. The police came to check and said that there was a monk who was snooping around and making lies to deceive people."
"If anyone sees it, please report its whereabouts immediately."
"The notice is posted in the store. Not only us, but other stores have it."
The government has already issued a notice, which means that it is indeed true, and then some people also remembered it and started shouting.
"I have also heard that our village chief also said that we should be wary of a passing monk and report it immediately if we see it!"
The people around were no longer stunned. They were in high spirits and looked towards the monk: "You..."
But there was no one in sight, the noise started and then became silent immediately, and the excitement, excitement, and anger all turned into shock.
Where are people?
How can you just disappear in front of everyone?
This is not a human being, this is a ghost!
The consternation turned into fear, and screams were about to be heard...
"The monk has run away! This monk is very good at martial arts!" Someone shouted first, "That's why the government only allows people to report their whereabouts when they see him, not to arrest him."
He ran away. He ran because he was afraid. If the monk was afraid, they were not afraid. Everyone was relieved. Some were not afraid and shouted to arrest the monk. Some cautiously shouted to report to the government. Some began to argue that this person was not a monk but a spy pretending to be a spy.
, some people lamented that although she knew there was a thief, Mrs. Chu was afraid of hurting innocent people and just kept vigilant to prevent people from catching her. Isn't this kindhearted?
The street was noisy, with people running and shouting. Monk Mu was walking striding in an alley. He couldn't see the bustle behind him. He stopped watching the bustle and put the bamboo hat on his head.
People who are trapped in a maze cannot wake up even if they scream, they can only break through the maze.
...
...
The Fucheng where Shannan Dao Yamen is located does not have the hustle and bustle of Huainan Dao.
The city was closed and the shops were closed, but people were still walking through the streets, or gathering in the streets to chat nervously in low voices.
Naturally, the topic was that the rebels were going to attack Linzhou.
The rebels were overwhelming, some said 100,000, some 150,000, some 250,000, and not a blade of grass grew in their path.
Some people comforted them: "What are you afraid of? They are not here to beat us."
Others reassured: "Don't be afraid, everyone. The rebels can't attack Linzhou. There are many soldiers and horses in Linzhou, and our soldiers and horses from Shannan Road are all there."
It's okay if I don't say this, but if I say this, the faces of the people around me will become even uglier.
"If you can't defeat Linzhou, then they will attack us." Someone murmured, "If the thief doesn't escape, we can't be idle when the rebels come."
The soldiers and horses were the first to be mobilized. If the rebels could not defeat Linzhou, they could easily attack them. It was so unlucky to be so close to Linzhou.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Someone took a few deep breaths to reassure them again, "We still have soldiers and horses from Jiannan Road."
This sentence made everyone look a little calmer.
There were soldiers and horses galloping past on the street, confirming their words. These soldiers and horses were heroic and mighty, with the military flag of Jiannan Road flying behind them.
"Yes, Jiannan Road has set up barracks here in the past two years and trained many soldiers." Someone said happily, "There are only a lot more guards than the original ones! We have no shortage of soldiers and horses to guard Shannan Road! Moreover,
The governor of Jiannan Road is also here with us."
But this was refuted: "The little governor seems to have returned to Jiannan Road."
Compared with Shannan Road, Jiannan Road, which is difficult to reach, is the safest.
"Moreover." Another person hesitated, "I heard that soldiers and horses from Jiannan Road are also going to support Linzhou."
Then it's really over, it's over, it's over...
The faces of the people on the street were ashen, and Han Xu in the government office also looked very unhappy. Looking at the letter on the table, Mrs. Chu was getting more and more aggressive. The last time she wrote a letter, she asked if Jiannan could be saved.
Give some of the extra armor and weapons to the Tao. Huainan Dao has too many soldiers and horses, but not enough equipment.
Can such things as weapons be given away privately? He gritted his teeth and saw that the Huainan Road soldiers and horses were also guards' soldiers and the meat was in the same bowl, so he found some excuses and gave them in batches.
As a result, the woman actually wrote a letter scolding him for being heartless and unjust.
"Is the deep love between us worth ten chariots of weapons and armor? Sir, my concubine is not as powerful as a city in your heart? Do you have a new love?"
What kind of affection? Where did they get their affection? Han Xu was also cursing in his heart, asking for a city's military equipment? What does this woman think of him? Is he a forbidden concubine?
Of course, he didn't reply to scold her, he wouldn't act like a woman and go crazy.
But this woman actually went even crazier. When she wrote the letter this time, she initially blamed Youyou for ignoring her and why she missed her... These were sour words, and then she tore off the beauty's skin and revealed her ferocious face.
"Lend me 50,000 soldiers and horses, and I will intercept and kill the rebels from the capital, which can be considered as a contribution to Linzhou."
"Mr. Lang, the Zhenwu Army is about to be guilty. What will I do then? When I went to save you despite thousands of troops, could you bear to see me suffer?"
"If you don't lend me your money, I will go to the court to sue the emperor for bullying me, a woman."
Han Xu picked up the letter on the table and wanted to tear it up. Han Xu's heart was as hard as iron. He dared to bear the punishment of ingratitude and the filth of romance... The letter was still not torn, so he folded it up and put it in his heart.
.
If she really goes to court to complain in the future, this can be regarded as evidence.
His brows rose again. This lady from Chu State was afraid that Zhenwu Army was guilty, so she should persuade Wu Yaer to return to defense!
No, Mrs. Chu was not afraid that the Zhenwu Army would be guilty. She clearly wanted to take the opportunity to demand 50,000 troops. The emperor in Linzhou cautiously asked if 30,000 troops were extra.
"Master Han, what are you thinking about? You don't look good." A voice came from outside and asked, "Are you sick?"
Han Xu calmed down his expression and looked at the young man who poked his head outside the foyer. The young man's face was full of concern.
"Commander, why did you go back to Jiannan Road without saying goodbye?" Han Xu asked, "Are you afraid?"
Li Mingyu stepped forward and categorically denied: "Why are you afraid? I just went back to do some errands. My family is still in Shannan Road."
That was because he deliberately kept it a secret. He didn't care at all about the men and women of the Li family.
Having taught this child for more than a year, he has long known that he is not just a child. Han Xu sees through it without telling him. At this time, he does not care about whether he respects his elders, loves his children and is filial, nor does he care about whether he is filial when he hears that Linzhou is in trouble.
Instead of sending troops, I ran back to Jiannan Road. Isn't it disloyal to the emperor...
As long as Li Mingyu is persuaded to lead the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road to aid Linzhou and protect the king's country, it doesn't matter whether he is loyal or fighting for power.
Han Xu said: "Just come back. I have something to tell you."
Li Mingyu nodded: "Master Han, please speak."
Han Xu said: "Master Mingyu, the time has come for you to let your father, Quanxia, feel at ease."
