"Don't send troops?" Qi Nian frowned, "Qinian would like to hear about it."

For some reason, since he returned to Liangshuo, he heard many remarks like this, each of which made him think twice.He didn't understand: Could it be that these dangerous pear troops who suddenly appeared in Liangshuo were more difficult to deal with than the wolf-like cavalry on the northern border?

"The general guards the northern border all the year round, so he doesn't seem to know much about Dongcheng." Ling Qu sat down and waved his fan, "The lord of the country is a full-fledged businessman, born of a crystal fox."

Having said that, he stared at Qi Nian and smiled at Qinian.

In Ling Qu's bright smile, Qi Nian felt that compared with the lord of Dongcheng Kingdom, this person in front of him was like a crystal fox.He couldn't help but began to wonder: "Fox is not a fox, what does this have to do with the royal army's inaction? Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. The general has been guarding the northern border for many years, and occasionally encounters one or two cunning people, but in the end he still wins." Many times. Now that the Wei Li army has taken root in our country, how can they retreat without a fight?"

Ling Qu's smile didn't diminish at all: "The general misunderstood me."

He took a tangerine on the table, peeled it open and handed it over: "In the face of a national crisis, how can we just let the general's [-] baby army contribute to dealing with such a cunning businessman? The baby army will be of great use in the future. As the city lord of Liangshuo, I can't bear to see the general kill chickens with a sledgehammer, so I have a cheap way, which can at least save [-]% of the power of the royal army in this battle, I wonder if the general will listen to it?"

Qi Nian took the peeled orange hesitantly, and said, "My lord, tell me."

To be honest, he couldn't believe the city lord in front of him, he always felt that there was a calculation in his words.

Ling Qu put his fan back into his sleeve calmly, and tapped his finger on the stone table: "The officials have said that Wei Lijun is a pack of mad dogs. Dogs are the most soft-bodied and afraid of hard, you fight hard with them." , it is not afraid of you. But if you try to do something wrong with him, it will look forward and backward and lose its position. We have to find a group of dogs that are crazier than them, and fight with them, so that this battle can be won."

Not without reason.Qi Nian thought for a while and frowned: "What do you mean, Monk Jun?"

Let the monk army and the Weili army bite first to consume the strength of the Weili army, and then harvest together.This is indeed a way.

Ling Qu nodded: "The monk army will not be tolerated by the sky, and it is useless to keep it. It is better to send it to the battlefield to show loyalty."

But Qi Nian said: "I'm afraid it's not easy. The composition of the monk army is complicated, and they only listen to the orders of the officials, and don't listen to anyone's words."

"In the past, Duan Feihe was able to make a few masters. Once Duan Feihe died, they became headless flies, running rampant to find a way out. I think, even if they are not sent to the battlefield, sooner or later the monk army will be sent to the battlefield. Consume it yourself."

These words are indeed not unreasonable.There are gangs within the monk army, and they are biting each other. In recent years, the number has not increased, but has a decreasing trend.

"So, your lord wants to take advantage of Wei Lijun's wind to get rid of the monk army?" Qi Nian asked.

Ling Qu looked at him, showing an innocent smile: "Although the monk army has taken root in my Wumazhen territory, it has never had much to do with my Wumazhen. Well water does not interfere with river water, and it cannot be eliminated. Why should I be in a hurry? As for you, General, once one hundred thousand treasures are sent to the mouth of the Wei Li army, it will take a lot of effort to cultivate another army of such treasures. At that time, the monk army will take the limelight, and it will be in vain. You have gained a good reputation, think twice!"

"What's more." Speaking of this, Ling Qu has a hint of meaning, "Those past events between the monk army and the general are embarrassing. The Tai family didn't fight ten years ago, don't they want to fight now?"

Qi Nian's eyes flickered, as if seeing the past snowstorm again.

Do you fight?

"Ah-choo—" Sijin sneezed while flipping through the scriptures.

He raised his eyes and glanced out the window.The sky was dark and pitch black, it was clearly daytime, but it seemed like it was already night.He took his eyes back and continued to read the scriptures.There was a cool air from inside and outside the scriptures, which made his hands hurt from the cold.Sijin turned her left hand over, tucked her right hand into the sleeve of her clothes, and baked it in front of the stove.When his right hand was hot, he would turn over the book with his right hand, and put his left hand on the stove to keep warm.

One to two to go.

After a while, Chu Ji ran in and excitedly said to Sijin: "Little master, hurry up! Master is waiting for little master outside!"

Sijin raised her eyes and asked strangely, "Why didn't he come in?" It was such a cold day, why did he have to freeze outside?

Chu Ji scratched his head and said falteringly: "Little master, why don't you go out and have a look? Master said that you are looking at the scriptures all day long, and your eyes are almost broken."

After being reminded by him, Sijin realized that she had been reading for a long time.He put down the book, supported his waist and slowly got off the chair, letting his feet touch the pair of soft shoes on the ground.

Stretching his foot into the shoe, Sijin asked Chuji, "Where is he?"

"Feed the fish under the pavilion. It's been quite a while." Chu Ji supported him and said as he walked, "It's cold outside, so I'll put a coat on for little master."

Sijin watched helplessly as he took off the thickest cloak on the shelf with ease.Sijin said, "This is his cloak."

Seeing the strangeness, Chu Ji still put on the clothes on him: "The master's is the little master's." Why are you so clear?

Sijin had no choice but to drag the thick cloak with a layer of gold floating in the white, and walked towards the small pavilion step by step.

The snow is about to melt, and Sijin walks seriously.The thick cloak is very heavy, and his body is also a bit heavy, so his steps are very steady, and he doesn't have to worry about slippery roads in snowy weather, and he will fall halfway.He walked halfway, looked back to see that Chu Ji did not follow, looked back at the pavilion, vaguely saw someone standing inside the pavilion, and looked closely, but the person disappeared in a flash.

Sijin rested on the spot, and then continued to walk.

A thin pink umbrella covered his head with an umbrella dotted with colorful gemstones.The tip of Sijin's nose was enveloped by a scent of flowers.

It's been a long time since I saw Ling Qu's gaudy umbrella.Covered by this umbrella, the gradually melting snow seems to be full of flowers.Sijin looked at Shang Lingqu with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "It's not snowing yet, what kind of umbrella are you holding?"

He found that Ling Qu was always doing superfluous things, such as shaking his fan against the howling autumn wind, or holding a flower umbrella when the snow stopped.

Ling Qu said, "Block the snow in your heart."

"Is snow falling in my heart? How do you know?" Sijin asked back.

"I know your voice." Ling Qu's demeanor was composed, he was still calm and composed in the past, but he said something that surprised even Sijin, "In the past, you didn't look forward or backward when you raised your hands and feet, but now you must have something to worry about."

miss.Sijin silently read these two words in her heart.He didn't understand what the two words meant.

Among Buddhist practitioners, there are very few concerns.Once a person is free, he will only focus on practice and will not work hard on other aspects.

I won't even miss it.

Ling Qu led him to walk in the middle of the courtyard. The red and white plums in the courtyard were staggered, which looked very moving in Liu Bai's field of vision.He walked slowly, so Ling Qu also slowed down, stopping every step, and holding an umbrella for him.

The snow has stopped, but there is still snow on the stamens. When people pass by, it will fall, and it will fall on the umbrella, making a slight sound.

Sijin suddenly said, "Shall we go for a stroll outside the temple?"

After staying in the meditation room for too long, he hasn't seen the scenery outside the temple for a long time.Now that it's out, let's go and have a look.

"The soldiers are mobilizing at the bottom of the mountain. It's uneasy." Ling Qu said, "If you want to go, I'll send someone to take you to see in a soft sedan chair."

"They're all mobilizing troops?" Sijin frowned, "I heard that the officials ordered the Wang Quan army in the left servant's hands to fight the Dangerous Pear Army. Could it be that they have already started? Then your father..."

"Don't worry about it." Ling Qu said, "Even the dungeon's prison can't lock him up. His life is hard."

"Also." With a smile in his eyes, Ling Qu suddenly bent down, adding a bit of pressure for no reason, "Who gave you the news?"

Sijin froze for a moment, and had no choice but to answer: "Sizhan told me."

"Yeah." Ling Qu reached out and touched the slightly red tip of his nose, and said, "People with broken mouths are most suitable for making wine."

"You are used to scaring people." Sijin rubbed the tip of his nose, it was indeed cold, so he had no choice but to ask Lingqu to continue rubbing for him.

Ling Qu kissed him on the tip of the nose, and then said: "I'll go get a horse and take you for a walk down the mountain."

"I am like this now, I dare not ride a horse." Sijin grabbed his sleeve and said awkwardly.

Ling Qu stared at his protruding belly, and smiled: "Let me lead the rope, what are you afraid of?"

It turned out that she was just leading her away, and Sijin felt relieved.

Ling Qu took a tall black horse and patted the horse's back: "This horse is not wild, and its feet are steady."

Sijin seems to have seen this horse before, but also seems to have never seen it.Seeing the horse obediently leaning over, he used Ling Qu's hand to climb up on the pedals and sit on it.After sitting down, Sijin tugged on the rope, and could see the faint lights below the mountain in the distance.

"In the first lunar month, Liangshuo City is very lively. On the way back to Taihe Temple, someone put up lanterns by the river. Those lanterns flowed down the water, illuminating the river bank," Ling Qu said.

Sijin has been on the mountain all year round, so she has never seen such a scene.There was an envious look in his eyes, and he said, "I want to go and have a look."

Ling Qu led him down the mountain.After walking all the way to the bottom of the mountain, it was already dark.

Fortunately, there is not much wind at night, so although it is cold, it is not so bitter.Ling Qu led Sijin along the river, and he could see the crowds coming and going on the other side, those who set off lanterns, those who bought food, it was so lively.

"Why don't we go to the other side of the river?" Sijin asked impatiently.

Ling Qu helped him off the horse, and was a little amused by his eager face hidden in the cap: "I'm afraid you will throw me off when you see the food running so fast."

Just as Sijin was about to say "No", her eyes were attracted by a lively movement: "What is that?"

Ling Qu looked over, and saw a painted boat with carved beams and jade buildings floating on the river full of lanterns. There were singing and singing in it, attracting countless passers-by to stop.

"Where the fireworks go." Ling Qu looked away, and smiled at Sijin, "Our Ah Jin has grown up."

Sijin was subconsciously attracted by the light, and asked casually, how could she expect so much?He blushed, subconsciously grabbed Ling Qu's sleeve and said, "Let's go."

You only need to pass an arch bridge in the middle of the other side of the river.Sijin dragged Ling Qu to the bridge, but Ling Qu smiled silently and let him drag her.

The painted boat moved slowly along the current and passed under their feet.

Sijin's footsteps stopped suddenly.With a flying kick, he kicked down a sharp back arrow.The arrow sank deep into the crevice of the stone.

"There's someone." Sijin retracted her feet, "It's on the boat."

"It's really hard to keep you still." Ling Qu, who had already noticed it, sighed, took off his soft cloak and tied it on him, "Stand still for a while, I'll come when I go."

"But it's not necessarily safe outside." Sijin frowned.

"Hmm...you make some sense." Ling Qu leaned over and picked up the arrowhead, touched it, and said, "Things from the Three Great Battalions."

"They're going to kill you." Sijin took a breath.

"There are too many people who want to kill me." Ling Qu said with a faint sigh, "If someone suddenly stands in front of me and tells me that he doesn't want to kill me, I will panic."

Sijin said subconsciously: "I don't want to kill you, are you panicking?"

"Panic." Ling Qu smiled.This smile was deeply reflected in Sijin's pupils, so that the arrowhead in Lingqu's hand pierced into someone's chest without Sijin even noticing it.

Only then did Ling Qu turn around, staring at the dying man, his smile getting colder: "To kill someone, the first thing to do is to determine the occasion."

The man left his feet off the ground, moved, and got a mouthful of blood.

"Seeing that it's about to be useless, why not tell me who sent you here." Ling Qu pulled out the arrowhead, and hot donated blood splattered in the air.The man fell to the ground, his pupils constricted: "No comment..."

"Coincidentally." Ling Qu knelt down and looked at him, "I like playing with stubborn people the most."

The man spat out a mouthful of blood and smiled: "The majestic lord of the city wanders around with a big belly. Even if he can't kill you, he must be killed..."

Ling Qu didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and the arrow in his hand pierced his throat directly.

"This man is hopelessly stupid." Ling Qu sighed.

"Get on the boat and have a look." He threw away the arrowhead and took Sijin's hand again.Sijin nodded and stepped over the corpse.

At this moment, the painting boat is parked on the shore, still singing and singing.Following the crowd, Sijin and Lingqu walked to the shore together.

I saw the painting boat put down the sampan, and a group of graceful women got off the boat, swayed around in the crowd, and returned to the boat again.There were cheers all around, and the cheerful atmosphere was very strong.

Sijin saw so many women for the first time.He couldn't help asking Ling Qu: "What are they doing?"

Ling Qu said: "The girls in these boats have been wandering for half their lives, and now they want to take this opportunity to find a home."

"So it's like this." Sijin lowered her head, and couldn't help but feel sympathy for these duckweed-like girls.

Looking at the exquisite hydrangea in his hand, he seemed to think of many things.

Until Ling Qu frowned and asked him, "Where did you get the hydrangea in your hand?"

Only then did Sijin realize that everyone seemed to be looking at him.
