Chapter 282
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the weather is getting colder, with snow falling every now and then.

On this day, a group of people came from outside the city of Ye County.

More than ten riders, surrounded by two carts, walked around Fushan along the main road, and took shelter from the wind under Hutou Cliff.

It's only ten miles away from the city gate of Ye County, so if you work harder, you'll be there.The group of people were about to continue moving forward, and the first companion from the back of the line came forward: "Officer, Madam asked, is there a place to rest and tidy up here? After entering the city, the official thought that he wanted to see his brother. We will be full of dust along the way. Respect."

The person called the official is a handsome young man.

The young master laughed, and said casually: "What's wrong with that? That's my real brother's elder brother. He rolled in the dirt, and I saw him too. Besides..."

Having said that, seeing the companion showing embarrassment in front of him, the young master changed his tone: "However, what the aunt is right, um..."

He reined in his horse and looked around, and saw a newly renovated post station in front of him: "The carriages and horses will go there, and send people to fetch more hot water!"

When the cavalry entered the post station, envoys greeted them to examine the cards and documents.Seeing that the talisman was used by the ninth-rank official of the Department of Records, knowing that the immediate boss came, he hurriedly cheered up to serve him.He also saw that the female family member coming down from the frame, although she was wearing a veil, she could still see the makeup of a lady, and her posture was even more elegant and noble, so he became more polite.

In fact, the envoy made a mistake.

The person who came to the station at this moment was indeed the judge of the Recording Department, but he never cared about the affairs of Laizhou.The judge's surname is Li, and his name is a cloud. He is a person sent by Ding Haijun in Zhigu Village, who is responsible for maintaining business contacts with high-ranking officials and nobles in Zhongdu.

The woman who got out of the car was naturally Li Yun's wife, Aunt Hua.

Recently, the Mongolian army has gathered more and more troops in Zhongdu, but the Lushui River and Juma River around Zhigu Village have been sealed to the bottom, and there is no way to stop the actions of the Mongolian cavalry.Outside of Xin'an Haiyan, the sea water also began to freeze, and by that time, even seagoing ships would not be able to pass through.

Many wealthy businessmen in Zhigu Village are worried about their own safety, but Li Yun received Guo Ning's instruction and offered to take them to Shandong for temporary shelter.

Some people agree with this suggestion, but many people have doubts. It is nothing more than worrying about running into black people.But after all, the threat of the Mongols is more terrifying, so in half a month, more than a dozen merchants arrived in Laizhou with their fleets and floating wealth.

According to the previous instructions, these merchants were all placed in Haicang Town, and the person who greeted them with a smile was Wang Shixian, an old friend who had killed people in Zhigu Village that day.Li Yun got a vacation and took his wife to Laizhou to meet his brother.

Aunt Hua has been staying in Zhigu Village ever since she married Li Yun.She is not only Li Yun's right-hand man, but also the female leader of Zhigu Village.

However, Aunt Hua was in awe of Li Ting, and she was nervous all the way this time.Li Yun had nothing to do with his wife, but fortunately he had nothing urgent to do, so he followed her around.

At this moment, a place was vacated in the post station for Li Yun and others to rest, and the group simply took a rest. It was freezing cold, with frost and snow along the way, and the journey was really hard.

In the hall of the post station, the fire pit was burning hot, and the traveler and the post soldiers surrounded them, warming up the fire and chatting at the same time, it was very lively.

Listening to their words, they are talking about the entertainment industry in Laizhou.It turned out that recently several popular kabukis in Zhongdu came to Shandong to settle down with a set of Mo Ni, Fu Mo, Pretending to be Solitary, Fu Jing, and Yin Opera.

These few people sang popular tunes in the Jiaofang Sili of Xuanhuiyuan, performed Wuhua Cuanong's zaju, told the story of the battle between the Ding Navy and the Mongolian army, and laughed in various courts. Jokes.Have the soldiers and civilians in Shandong seen this before?
Wherever the kabuki troupe went, there was a sensation, and everyone was mesmerized.

An official who was present at this time went to Laiyang Mine Supervisor to deliver a letter a few days ago.The Laiyang Mine Superintendent is a popular institution under the Secretary of Government Affairs. It is very arrogant to manage several gold, silver mines and iron mines within Laizhou that have resumed production as soon as possible.So they specially invited a team of kabuki to perform several big dramas for the hard-working miners.

The official was just in time for the meeting, and he feasted his eyes fiercely, and now he vividly relayed the story to everyone.

Just listen to him transforming into Zhang Chi who died bravely in battle for a while, Wang Shixian who commanded well for a while, and monk Luo who was reckless and violent, swinging a sheep stick bone in his hand like a windmill.

When it comes to the end, it is natural that Jiedu envoy Guo Ning will appear on the stage.As the finale protagonist of the whole drama, Guo Ning's prestige in the drama is simply stronger than on the real battlefield.The official imitated the libretto, and waved the sheep stick bone up and down in his hand, as if those Mongolians with vulgar words and wretched temperament were being smashed into meatloaf by Guo Ning's iron bones.

In this year, there are many people who have seen fighting and fighting, so it is inevitable that some people will be suspicious: "Then Master Huifeng, Li Ting and others are really so powerful? Tie Futu's cavalry, one is worth a hundred? Our Jiedu Surrounded by hundreds of Mongols, and then rushed to kill them one by one? Is this an exaggeration?"

At this time, Aunt Hua just smiled lightly.

It turned out that those groups of kabuki were all old acquaintances of Aunt Hua in the academy.Earlier, the military government issued a document to search for people who sing operas and songs in Zhigu Village, and use some theater books and dramas to rally the morale of the people.

These people are engaged in cheap business, and their lives are not easy.After arriving in Shandong, with the military mansion at his back, with the help of Aunt Hua, and with his salary, at least he will not be bullied, which is much better than in Zhigu Village.

Hearing that they were so busy in Shandong, Aunt Hua felt that they were right, she was very happy.

This smile was misunderstood by others as agreeing with the questioning person, not believing in the bravery of the admiral.Immediately, several people were chattering and refuted one after another. They didn't dare to provoke Li Yun and his party, they just scolded the suspicious person bloody.

A soldier with luggage was particularly angry, and said repeatedly: "Why is that an exaggeration! Let me tell you, our commander-in-chief is the birth of Xingxiu! There are also lieutenant generals and soldiers, many of whom are heavenly soldiers and generals! Sweep away the troubled times, and restore the world to a bright future!"

"Stars, constellations? Heaven, heavenly soldiers and generals?"

Even the official who told the story was stunned.

Several people looked at each other, and someone asked cautiously: "This general, you mean..."

Another person asked: "Is it true that the old fairy Yuyangzi in Donglai Mountain is true?"

"It's true! I saw it with my own eyes!" The soldier slapped his chest loudly: "The bones of the soldiers were buried that day, and the commander-in-chief and the generals all went to watch the ceremony, and the Donglai Mountain was filled with clouds and mist! Looking at the cloud, I knew that an extraordinary person was coming, so I used my supernatural powers to find out..."

The surrounding people lowered their voices, trembling with excitement: "And then? Then?"

"Nothing happened at the time."

Everyone sighed in disappointment.

"But that night, the old fairy was talking well, and he kicked his legs, and he died! He was out of breath!" The soldier went to pat the table instead, and it was still thumping: "Let me tell you, it will take less than half an hour. , the person becomes stiff, cold, completely cold!"

Seeing everyone's horrified eyes, he said triumphantly: "And then, do you know?"

Many people present have heard this miraculous story, but how can it compare to a general telling it himself?The general said that he was present and saw it with his own eyes!It's winter, I can't do much, I just brag and talk nonsense every day... I know a little inside information here, and I go back to the village to brag, that's beautiful!
At the moment everyone is asking, "Then what?"

"Until the next day, when the sky was bright, a ray of sunlight hit the old fairy's face, and the old fairy suddenly came back to life! When he came alive, he ran outside!"

"What is he running for?"

"The old god shouted while running, God, please forgive me! I shouldn't have looked at the stars, the heavenly soldiers and generals! I know I was wrong, God forgive me!"

"Hey..." The audience all admired.

At this time, another human said: "The old god didn't run away? I passed by Donglai Mountain a few days ago, and I heard that the old god has been stationed in the ancestral hall."

The soldier sneered: "The old god is also a god! Even if you say a few soft words to the stars in the sky and the heavenly soldiers and generals, beg for forgiveness, that's all, at most you will lose a few years of life! What did the old man say later, you know Is it?"

"What did you say?"

"The old man said that if we set up the navy, we must be able to do great things and achieve great achievements! Those who can be listed in the Donglai Mountain Martyr's Shrine have great fortune and luck. That's why he wants to stay in Donglai Mountain. , get a little blessing!"

Speaking of this, the soldiers held their heads high and looked around at the crowd: "You say, I appoint a commander like the Navy, such a general, they are naturally so brave! Hehe, what is the Mongolian army! What are Yang An'er and his like?"

He waved his hands proudly: "The commander-in-chief has been resting with the people for the past few months! One day the soldiers and horses are ready, and with one order, the discipline will be wiped out!"

Everyone in the inn heard this, and everyone was happy.

Li Yun smiled at his companions, "I'm so excited that I want to go to Donglai Mountain."

"Going!"

Aunt Hua didn't take Yuanben's libretto very seriously, but she had been wandering for half her life, had endured a lot of hardships, and inevitably did some things against her will, and she believed in the theory of gods and ghosts.She responded twice, and then muttered to herself, not knowing whether she was praying or doing something.
