The sturdy life of crossing

A half-new carriage was driving on the official road, and the driver was a strong young man. There was a rustling sound in the carriage, and then a weak voice came out: "Xiao Niu, how long will it take to arrive at Chunchun?" Linfu, my ass is about to fall apart."

As soon as the words were finished, a person got out of the carriage, sat next to the driver, and rubbed his buttocks indecently.It is said that it is easy to go from simple to extravagant, and it is difficult to go from extravagant to simple. The ancients do not deceive me. This young man is Jian Wenyuan who is leaving Beijing to rush for the exam, so he lamented in his heart.

I think that when he was in Jinhai County, he used to go in and out of a carriage with rubber wheels. He hadn’t sat in this old-style carriage for a long time, but he could ride again. , and the terrain here is remote, rubber tires are rarely circulated here, and few people can afford them. In order to hide their names, the dignified young prince can only abandon the comfortable carriage and use this old-style one.

It was his childhood playmate Tian Xiaoniu who traveled with Jian Wenyuan and was responsible for protecting his safety on the surface. But now his name is Tian Jing, and he is also a fourth-rank military officer anyway. Mavericks can't come and go.

Tian Xiaoniu looked at Jian Wenyuan complaining amusedly, and joked: "Obviously you can choose a place that is closer, so that you can suffer less. Who told you to choose such a remote place."

This carriage has been refitted and has a certain shock-absorbing effect, but the mountain road here is also rugged, one can imagine the result, Tian Xiaoniu's influence is not too big, after all, these years have been running around and turning around on the battlefield in a circle.

Jian Wenyuan is now aliased as Li Wenyuan, and there was indeed a scholar Li Wenyuan in the county below Chunlin Mansion, but on the way out of his hometown, all his family members were killed by bandits. Jian Wenyuan came to the exam with such an identity.

Jian Wenyuan stretched his waist, cheered himself up, and said: "In addition to rushing for the exam, I also have to subdue my brother's private defense. I heard from my father that the prefect of Chunlin Mansion is very suspicious. They are trying to cheat and connect with each other, but now I don’t have time to find out the situation here. Anyway, it’s the same wherever I go for the rural exam, so I’ll come here as an outpost for my father and brother. The prefect Liu here must not have thought of me. The dignified prince and you, the fourth-rank military officer, will personally investigate, and it is up to us whether there is any problem with the prefect Liu and other local officials."

Tian Xiaoniu looked at his brother's smug expression teasingly, and laughed secretly. He was as ignorant of the world as Wen Yuan in Yong'an Village, thinking that Yong'an Village and Canghe Town were the whole world. Concern, joining the Canghe Gang in the past few years, he has grown up rapidly, much more mature and stable than Jian Wenyuan, this guy is taken care of by His Majesty, and he still looks like he won't grow up.

Of course, Tian Xiaoniu also knows that this guy looks innocent on the outside, but whoever really believes it, just wait for bad luck, this guy has dark stomach, Tian Xiaoniu shook his leg and said: " Okay, let's work together to make a big deal, there is really a problem with this surname Liu, and if we meet the two of us, his good days will come to an end."

"That's right, I'm the wise and mighty little prince Mu, no one can fool me!" Jian Wenyuan said full of fighting spirit.

"Is your butt not numb?"

"Okay you Tian Xiaoniu, let's see if this king will make a move to treat you!"

After dark, the two finally arrived at a post station. They didn't sleep in the wild, and Jian Wenyuan had all the documents on him, so they checked in and moved in.

After a night's rest, he will be able to arrive at Chunlinfu City after dark tomorrow. Jian Wenyuan expressed his pleasure, and the hard days along the way are coming to an end.

The two asked for some food and brought them into the room, then closed the door.

"This inn seems a bit strange. It seems to be wary of people coming from outside." Jian Wenyuan whispered to Tian Xiaoniu. For students, the inn will be more polite.

"Be careful, there is no big mistake, we still eat the dry food we brought, don't touch these foods." Tian Xiaoniu said cautiously, the eyes of those people were not quite right.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Jian Wenyuan knew that Tian Xiaoniu had more experience in traveling outside than him now, and couldn't help but sigh that Tian Xiaoniu was still envious of him when he went out to study. It's really a turn of events.

The two of them didn't even take a sip of the water in the post station. After washing up, they turned off the light early and went to sleep. The room was soon dark.Two figures appeared in the courtyard outside, and they lowered their voices to communicate: "Are we too cautious? Isn't it just a scholar rushing for the exam, at first glance, he looks like a dull scholar who has read too much."

Another person said: "If they didn't come over tonight, who cares about this stupid scholar, okay, leave them alone, eat our food and drink our water, and make sure they sleep until dawn. It's about time, no Something went wrong on the way."

"Probably not, we have high mountains and far rivers here, who would like to run here."

"I heard that His Majesty is very powerful now, tsk tsk, I can't imagine that a brother has become the emperor."

"It's just luck. Besides, although he is a brother, he is a reckless man. It is said that in the capital, he only knows how to hang out with those people in the military camp all day. Fortunately, the emperor can bear it."

"Why can't I take it anymore? Now the imperial husband and the chief minister of the cabinet have the final say in the court, and the chief minister of the cabinet is also from the He family. Maybe that brother made wedding clothes for others. In the end, the court is still surnamed He , scoff, after all, what can my brother do!"

The sound outside was getting quieter, but there was the sound of grinding teeth from under the window in the room. Jian Wenyuan was furious, so let’s just say that he is a dumb scholar. Anyway, he deliberately pretended to be dumb, but in the end he talked about his brother. Damn it, if you don't know the relationship between his brother and He Yunzhang, and know his brother's ability, you won't have any suspicions against He Yunzhang and the He family after hearing too many things like this

What do these bastards know? His brother said that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, and military power is in his hands. Who can cause his brother's rebellion?

Tian Xiaoniu also had a cold look in his eyes. The atmosphere in the capital has begun to change. There are brothers and women who have stepped out of their homes to become officials. But when they leave the capital, the more they go to remote places, the more they know that it is difficult to change the concept here. Much more, it is more difficult for brothers and women to stand out, and they don't even have much respect for their majesty.

After more than a quarter of an hour, there was finally movement, and Jian Wenyuan was overjoyed, his feet were almost numb from squatting, and he would not be able to hold on if there was no more movement.

Tian Xiaoniu lay on the ground and listened to the movement for a while. When he got up again, he gestured to Jian Wenyuan. Jian Wenyuan immediately understood that there was a group of people coming from outside the post station, about 27 or [-] people.

There was a commotion outside, and the people who had been waiting in the station immediately opened the door for those who came outside. In the night light, Tian Xiaoniu saw a group of people entering the station, and these people carried several wooden boxes.

With such a big commotion, there was no movement in the other rooms. It could be seen that everyone had eaten the food with added ingredients, and no matter how loud the commotion was, it would not wake up the people living in it.
