The ancient farming life of liberal arts scum

The weather in autumn is a little cool, and the mushrooms and bean sprouts are slow to germinate. Before they sprout, Xun Jiu came.

Compared with Shao Xin and Bai Liyi, he looks younger, with a thin and handsome face, tall and strong figure, very eye-catching, most people would not guess him as an intelligence dealer when they see him.

Shen Ge greeted him, "Brother Xun Jiu."

"Second Master." Xun Jiu nodded, walking with great momentum.

The two didn't know each other very well, after saying hello, Shen Ge cared about his board and lodging issues before leaving.

Afterwards, Shen Ge and Xun Feiguang said with emotion, "I have only heard his name but never seen him. When I saw him, I realized that Big Brother Xun Jiu really lived up to his reputation."

"Huh? What's your name?" Xun Feiguang exhaled through his nostrils, cast his eyes down, and glanced at Chen Ge, "You just want to see that Xun Jiu is handsome."

"..." He is indeed handsome, Shen Ge shuns his hair, "No matter how handsome he is, he is not as handsome as you. I just think he has a bit or two of your demeanor, so I can't help but take a few more glances."

Xun Feiguang looked disbelieving.

Shen Ge laughed, "Is this still fake? I have lived for so many years, and I have never seen anyone more handsome than you."

Xun Feiguang snorted a little triumphantly.

In the evening, Shen Ge asked the cook to tidy up a table of hard dishes, and invited Xun Jiu, Shao Xin, and Bai Liyi to come over to the house for dinner, which was considered a cleansing for Xun Jiu.

The four of them grew up together, but they always get together less and leave more. This time they can get together because of Xun Feiguang's health.

As several people exchanged cups and cups, they all expressed their concern for Xun Feiguang.

Xun Feiguang didn't care, "I'm fine, but I just forgot a few things."

Bai Liyi was worried, "That being said, you are not recovering from your illness, sir, and you always carry some ominous signs, and you may relapse at any time. I think you have to invite a famous doctor to come to the mansion to have a look. yes."

"Brother Hu Naiqing will come over in a few days, let's wait and see when he comes." Shen Ge comforted him.

As a lay Taoist priest, Hu Naiqing is good at divination and calculation, and he is skilled in witchcraft and medicine. Shen Ge knows his ability. If he will come over, things don't have to worry so early.

Bai Liyi nodded, "Then I'll stay here for a while and wait for Mr. Hu to come over."

Shen Ge clinked glasses with him, "You haven't taken a vacation for many years, so it's time to take a rest."

Xun Jiu's arrival also brought news from many sources, and Shen Ge followed him to listen. From Beiman to Kyoto and then to Nanguan City, Xun Jiu's news was very wide. I can't help feeling in my heart.

After Xun Feiguang listened, he tapped his fingers on the table, and said, "The foreign barbarians can't shrink back, so we have to find a way to lure them out and give them some color."

Shen Ge didn't know what he was thinking, and looked at him curiously, but Xun Feiguang refused to say, his face was somewhat mysterious.

Shen Ge was not very familiar with the matter of marching, and he was not interested in it. He mainly dealt with logistics. Seeing that Xun Feiguang had nothing to say, he put this matter behind him.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, one night, Xun Feiguang suddenly and mysteriously came over to urge Shen Ge to change his clothes, and wanted to take him out.

At that time, Shen Ge was sleeping in a daze, and when he heard this, he put his arms around Xun Feiguang's arm and asked vaguely, "It's so late, where are you going?"

Although the night is not very deep now, but it is the end of the Xu Dynasty, and seeing the second watch is approaching, most people have fallen into deep sleep at this time, and the land is completely silent.

Shen Ge was able to sleep recently, but before Xun Feiguang woke him up, he was in a deep sleep, so he was very reluctant to move.

Xun Feiguang picked him up and let him lean in his arms to help him dress, "I'll take you to catch water mice."

Hearing this, Shen Ge thought it was some strange thing, and couldn't help but shook his head to express his resistance, "Why catch that thing? Let's go during the day." That thing doesn't sound good, and it probably won't be very tasty.

He opened his mouth to yawn, and Xun Feiguang reached out to take the clothes beside the bed, "Water mice are very cunning, and you may not be able to catch them during the day. Didn't you say you want to build a big boat? Get up quickly, if you catch water mice, your big boat will probably be able to catch them." doing it."

Shen Ge was at a loss, but seeing Xun Feiguang's expectant face, he put on his coat and followed Xun Feiguang out.

Outside, Shaoxin and Xun Jiu had already led the team to wait. A group of solemn soldiers rode horses with torches, swords on their waists, bows and arrows on their backs, everyone wore armor and helmets, fat and strong horses. It looked extremely tough.

Because he was worried about Shen Ge, Xun Feiguang specially pulled him to sit in front of him. After he sat down, Xun Feiguang pulled the reins, and half hugged him who was still asleep and rode on the road.

Du Xin started to trot under the urging, and the soldiers behind followed him in a uniform manner.

When the horse started to run, Shen Gefang discovered that they had wrapped the horse's hoof with cloth. The sound of the horse's hoof stepping on the road was extremely dull, and most of it disappeared as soon as it spread.Walking on the empty night road, this group of people quickly passed by like phantoms.

Shen Ge couldn't help but look back, turned his head and whispered in Xun Feiguang's ear, "Is this going to be a surprise attack?"

Why does it look like this to catch a water mouse?

Xun Feiguang nodded, "You will know when you arrive."

Shen Ge leaned back against his warm chest and didn't make another sound.

The horse trotted towards Changzhou County. As the parent officer of Changzhou County, Shen Ge became more and more suspicious. When the team came to a house, Shen Ge suddenly found out that this was Li's, a big family in Changzhou County.

The Li family has settled in Changzhou County for more than 200 years, and there are special records of his family in the county annals.For so many years, the Li family has been prosperous in terms of people and wealth, and has almost never been defeated.

Shen Ge knew that there was such a family under his rule, and he made a special trip to visit it before.Mr. Li, the head of the Li family, is very talkative. Shen Ge's success in Changzhou County is thanks to the cooperation of the Li family.

When the men and horses were some distance away from Li's house, Xun Feiguang made a gesture, and the cavalry immediately reined in and stopped in unison, quietly waiting for the next order in the night.

Xun Feiguang looked solemn, and waved again.

Shao Xin and Xun Jiu led the people immediately, and ran forward one at a time, surrounding the entire Li family.

All the soldiers drew their arrows and bows, aiming at the Li Family Courtyard.

Xun Feiguang dismounted from his horse, took the rest of the dozens of people behind him, and walked to knock on the door of Li's house with their robes flying.

The doorman of Li's family seemed to be taken aback, and shouted in local dialect with a slightly distorted voice: "Who is it?!"

"Open the door!" Xun Feiguang's deep voice sounded.

Inside shouted loudly: "It's so late, what's the matter? The gentlemen at home have already gone to bed, why don't the guests come to visit tomorrow."

Xun Feiguang made a gesture, and the army of tigers and wolves behind him immediately stepped forward, six people stood in front of the door in a row, and began to slam into the door with a bang.

The people inside panicked, they didn't expect that Xun Feiguang would bump into it as soon as they said it, and they didn't have time to take other measures to block the door, so they were knocked open after two or three hits.When Qing Lingwei rushed in to hold them down, their faces were still pale with great panic.

Qing Lingwei gagged the man, tied him up firmly and put them aside.

"Search!" Xun Feiguang stood aside with a knife in his arms, and Qing Lingwei trotted in behind him, searching from east to west.

Obviously, the Li family did not go to bed early as Menzi said. When Mr. Li and his sons were tied up, they were neatly dressed, which was completely different from the pajamas worn by the little one next door.

What surprised Shen Ge the most was that among the people who were tied up, there were a few high-browed and deep-eyed foreigners. Their hair was yellow and white, and their pupils were blue or gray. They knew at a glance that they must be from overseas.

"Master Shen." Old Master Li's voice was frustrated and hoarse, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

As the magistrate of a county, Shen Ge had no idea that someone under his rule had collusion with the enemy, and the collaborator was the famous old Mr. Li in the county. He couldn't help being a little shocked. Only then did he realize that the water mice Xun Feiguang was talking about were this group of rats. Yang Yi.

"Take it away." Xun Feiguang waved.

Qing Lingwei immediately dragged the bundled Yangyi out.

"You can't do this! We are serious businessmen, and we came to Dayan to do business with good intentions. If you treat guests from afar like this, it will definitely arouse public outrage. Do you want to fight?" Dayan shouted in Mandarin.

Shen Ge walked up to him, squatted down one meter away from him, and looked at his face, "Where are you from? You are also from Gege Mainland?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Yang Yi's face, and he quickly covered up the surprise.Even though he was crushed to the ground by two Qingling guards in embarrassment, he still tried his best to show calmness, "Yes, we are all from Gege Continent. Respected officials of Dayan, I think you must know that Gege Continent is very big and there are many people We just came out to do business, we have no bad intentions."

"Well, you're not mean, and you secretly set foot on our land at night?"

"That's because your country doesn't do business, and there's nothing we can do about it." Yang Yi argues, "If you are willing to do business, we won't sneak here at night. We have no choice."

Xun Feiguang, who was on the side, heard this, and impatiently swiped the knife with the scabbard in his hand. The scabbard hit Yang Yi's left cheek, and his face was instantly swollen with a slap.Yang Yi was stunned by the beating, and it took a while to spit out two teeth with blood in his mouth.

Xun Feiguang looked at him coldly, "Smart words."

The rest of the people were silent, afraid to speak.

Xun Feiguang made a gesture, and Qing Lingwei immediately dragged him out like a sack.

The Li family howled miserably, and shouted from the sidelines: "My lord, you are wronged!"

Shen Ge took two steps forward and knelt down in front of Li Jia Dalang, "What wronged you?"

He swallowed, "My lord, it's not that my family is collaborating with the enemy. This group of foreigners suddenly came to the door, and there is nothing we can do."

"Oh? What are these foreigners looking for?"

Dalang of the Li family was full of panic, "They wanted to buy food, vegetables, porcelain and tea, but our family didn't agree, and they were just trying to drive them out. My lord, we have no enemies."

Shen Ge looked around, and the eyes of the people around were pleading, hatred, and despair. Several girls looked at the gagged child with tears in their eyes.The children had just been pulled up, their little faces were pale, and they were trembling slightly like quails.

"If you are wronged, why are your guards with knives and sticks guarding outside?" Shen Ge looked at them and sighed silently, "Now you should think about how to get rid of the crime. Take it away. "

Qing Lingwei immediately dragged the people out, and Shao Xin and Xun Jiu outside also caught a group.These groups of people were bound by their hands, gagged, and followed behind the horses by a long thick hemp rope.

Shen Ge couldn't bear it, so he ordered the children to be taken away on horseback instead of walking at night.
