Pei Gonggui

The continuous rain in the mountains followed Pei Jun all night, and it stopped at dawn the next day.

As soon as he put on his clothes and got up, Zhao Guqing had brought the doctor a decoction to relieve pain and reduce swelling, after he drank it, he invited him to go out for a walk together.

Pei Jun pushed the door open with him and went out, only to find that he was in a three-room wooden house.The wooden house is built on a mountain bag, and the mountain bag is located in the continuous hills and valleys of the tea mountain. At this time, when you look up, you can see that the surrounding thousand acres of tea forests have been washed by the new rain, green and fresh. When you look up and breathe, grass leaves are blowing in the wind aroma.

There are more than a dozen wooden houses on the hillside, which are gathered together with Pei Jun's house to form a village, which can be seen from a distance. Such a village is located every few mu of tea fields in this tea mountain. It is expected that the tea farmers here picked tea. And built.

"Master Pei knows that Zhao is a straight-hearted person, so if you have something to say right now, just say it." Zhao Guqing stood beside Pei Jun, looking at the tea field under the hillock and said, "It's a good thing for us to reunite now, but the battle in the river Two ships of supplies were wasted, especially on the second ship brought by Master Mei, all the gold and silver fell into the water, and all the commercial goods were burned. Although the third ship has the most goods, it may be difficult to maintain the expenses of everyone—— Too many; but if—"

"If we want to make a comeback based on the tea mountain, we have too few people, right?" Pei Jun looked at the green eyes with deep eyes, and his voice was hoarse, "Mr. I don't know, but now that King Jin is missing, Pei really has no intention of making a comeback."

Zhao Guqing sighed: "That's right, Mr. Zhao knows that the Prince of Jin's whereabouts are missing right now, and we're going to lose our vitality. If we mention 'resurrection' again, we may lose our humanity, but Mr. Pei, the world is in chaos and the people have no decision. But it is absolutely impossible to be in Chang'an. Although the tea mountain is closed, it is not remote. The imperial court will eventually find it, whether it is Jiang Zhan or Cai, whether it is March or a year. By then, there will be no military supplies. Could it be that we have to flee again? What? If we continue to escape, what will we lose?"

Pei Jun was startled when he heard the words, and looked up to see the tea field not far away, Mei Linyu was leading a black dog walking on the ridge of the field, his heart ached and he didn't say a word.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhao Guqing continued: "Once the general is successful, all bones will be destroyed... Mr. Pei is unparalleled, since he was determined to overthrow the government, he should understand the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. Forgive Zhao for saying a word, if the Prince of Jin is here, we are here One more move is to pave the way for him, and if Prince Jin is gone... then he must hope that we will continue to fulfill his wish, to make the world clean and the seas clear, and let the people see the prosperity again. In this valley right now , the only person who really understands what he thinks and can truly achieve what he wants is Mr. Pei!"

Pei Jun was about to speak, when Pei Yan's voice came from under the hill: "Pei Jun, look who's here!"

As soon as the sound fell, a crisp "Master" sounded.Pei Jun looked down at the sound, and at the foot of the mountain, Qian Haiqing was running towards him eagerly, grabbing the hem of his robe.

Behind Qian Haiqing, there was an old man with white beard and hair, who was supported by Pei Yan, who was using a thick wooden stick as a crutch, and was also walking up slowly in three steps. At this time, he was so tired that he pointed at Qian Haiqing's back and cursed. : "Brat, just leave your grandfather alone when you see Master? Why did I raise such a dog like you!"

Qian Haiqing had already run in front of Pei Jun, and was a little ashamed when he heard what grandpa said, so he hurried back to help him up together, and introduced him to Pei Jun: "Master, this is my grandpa. This place is near my hometown. So I rushed to invite Grandpa over, wanting to take a look at the injury for Master."

Pei Jun hurriedly said: "As early as in the middle of Beijing, Pei had heard about the genius doctor Qian hanging the pot to help the world and rejuvenating with his wonderful hands. It is really a blessing for the younger generation to meet him today."

Hearing this, Miracle Doctor Qian didn't return the salute, but only glanced at his arm and said, "It's a blessing, otherwise your arm is useless, how could you lead my grandson to rebel?"

"Grandpa!" Qian Haiqing grabbed him anxiously, "Master's intention is to benefit the world, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Doctor Qian glared at him, and wanted to scold him again, but seeing Pei Jun's face was pale and weak, he held back the harsh words in his mouth, thought for a while, and reluctantly clasped his fists and said: "Your grandson is lucky to be in the capital, Mr. Pei Pointing out, this old man thanked Mr. Pei on behalf of his father. Just now, this old man offended me so much, and I hope Mr. Pei will forgive you."

"The old man didn't say a single wrong word, so why offend him?" Pei Junxu helped him, "The old man is old, and he is willing to come here to heal the wounds of this sinner, Pei. He is very grateful and dare not blame him. It's just... Pei has a heartless request."

Doctor Qian raised his eyebrows, before he could speak, Pei Jun raised his hand to greet Mei Linyu from the tea field, and said to Pei Yan: "The old man has a hard time traveling, please come in and sit down first."

After a while, everyone sat in the wooden house, and Mei Linyu came back with the dog.

Qian Haiqing took the black dog aside, and Pei Jun pushed Mei Linyu in front of Dr. Qian.

Doctor Qian raised his hand to remove the gauze on Mei Linyu's neck, carefully inspected and pressed the hideous wound that had healed, and after a while, he raised his eyebrows and said, "He's fine, what do you want me to see?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

Mei Linyu straightened her neck, pursed her lips tightly, her eyebrows trembled when she heard the words, she was only stunned for a moment, then tied the gauze again with trembling hands, turned around and walked out of the room with her eyes lowered.

Pei Yan was opening the door to bring tea, seeing him like this, she quickly put down the tea and put on her skirt to catch up with him, grabbing his sleeve: "Mei Liu, Mei Liu! The miracle doctor Qian hasn't seen clearly yet, don't worry, just wait." I'll tell him, maybe—"

Mei Linyu silently took the sleeves from her hands, turned her head at this time, still smiling at her, and only waved lightly, signaling her to go back to accompany Pei Jun.

Pei Yan wanted to persuade her again, but Mei Linyu had already turned around and walked into her room and bolted the door. She stepped forward and raised her hand, but she still didn't know whether to knock or not.

In the other room, everyone fell into silence because of Dr. Qian's words, but Dr. Qian didn't notice anything unusual. He had checked Pei Jun's injuries and began to gouge out the rot and pus.

Pei Jun endured the severe pain and let him heal him, but at this time his heart hurt more than his hand, and he finally said: "Young Master Mei is a merchant, and now he lost his voice due to injury, how can the old man say that it is good?"

Doctor Qian stopped the bleeding for him, while casually said: "How did you live in the past, how should you live in the future? He has a thick throat and plump lips, and he can be seen as a troublesome person at first sight. You can see his appearance, but he doesn't care about it." They seem to be a talkative person. People, sometimes they don’t know what they want, and they only regret it when they are sick and in pain. The eyes of this old man have seen too much. They obviously regret the illness, but why don’t they regret themselves? "

He said, wiped the dirty blood from the knife in his hand, and roasted it on the fire: "The lost mulberry elm may not be the unrecoverable east corner." Then he looked intently at Pei Jun's arm, and cut into Pei Jun's flesh with the knife , steady and steady:

"Just like you, if you don't remove the bad meat from your body, how can you see the good meat grow?"

After Miracle Doctor Qian said this, the knife in his hand stopped.He picked up a few handfuls of medicinal herbs from the tea field outside the door, crushed them for Pei Jun, bandaged them, and then stayed in the mountains.

Pei Jun's heart never let go of Jiang Yue for a moment. Before he recovered from his injury, he had disguised himself on a mule and horse and went out of the mountain several times. He kept inquiring about the situation in the world and Jiang Yue's whereabouts from nearby towns, but several months passed without finding anything. , but the horse with a broken leg and the miserable situation in the forest that he saw in Shilipo, Ningcheng often sneaked into his dreams together with the words of Dr. Qian, waking him up in the middle of the night.

The world is as predicted by Zhao Guqing.Because of dissatisfaction with Cai Yan's proclaiming himself emperor, heroes rose up in rebellion, and wars of all sizes emerged in endlessly.After recovering from his injury, Pei Jun disguised himself and traveled far to look for Jiang Yue. Within a few days along the way, he would meet a battlefield—he didn't know who beat whom for what, let alone who won and who lost. Pick up the weapons, armor and food that fell on the ground, load them on a cart and take them back to the mountain, without saying a word.

Zhao Guqing has already started to raise the production of the village in the mountains, Yan Yuliang is in charge of the people, Fang Mingjue is in charge of the accounts, and the personnel affairs are quickly cleared up.They found that tea is the most abundant thing on the tea mountain, and there is less food and seeds of all kinds. Although it is enough for the local villagers to eat, if they want to support soldiers and horses, they need to buy a lot of crops.

But the world is in chaos, and food is more expensive than gold. If Mei Linyu can still speak, and has some business acquaintances, it’s okay to sell the tea to sell face and replace some seeds, but now Mei Linyu hurts her throat and can’t negotiate. If Pei Jun and others Recklessly clinging to gold and silver to buy a large amount of grain and rice, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion, and it can be said that the gain outweighs the loss.

Therefore, Pei Jun and the guards had to go back and forth from village to town, buying back only a small bag of grain or seeds each time, but this was a drop in the bucket.

Just when everyone was having a headache, Mei Linyu suddenly disappeared.

The first person to find out about this was Pei Yan. She was so anxious to pull her horse out of the mountain to look for it herself, but Pei Jun stopped her anyway, and took people to search the mountain, but unexpectedly, Mei Linyu came back that night.

Everyone asked him where he had gone, but he answered silently, he was so anxious that he finally went back to the house and closed the door, weeping silently alone.

Pei Jun and Mei Linyu have known each other for about thirteen or fourteen years. Even when he saw Mei Linyu being beaten by his father when he was a child, he had never heard him cry like that. But now, he knows that Mei Linyu is not only like a child, but When he really cried, he was like a helpless child.

Everyone in the mountains is in danger of running out of supplies. Not only is there not enough food, but there is also not enough salt.

After living frugally for ten days and a half months with little soup and fresh water, Pei Jun's endless worries and the depression in the mountains finally gave birth to a crazy idea in him.

That night, he pulled Zhao Guqing into the wooden house, and when it was almost dawn, he picked up Qian Haiqing, and the three of them discussed until noon before coming out together with Wu Qing under their eyes, and they didn't even rush to take a bite of the meal, so they went They summoned 40 of the most skilled guards, put on big beards, pretended to be bandits, and said they were going to occupy a salt field dozens of miles away.

This salt field is the same salt field that Qian Haiqing and Zhang San went to investigate the case.After being handed over at that time, there was chaos in Beijing, Li Si rebelled, and the government was overwhelmed. This salt field has not yet been managed by a special person, and it is not far from the tea mountain. If this field is occupied, it will not be possible in the future. Worry about the use of salt, no matter how chaotic the situation is, if you have salt, you are not afraid that you will not be able to exchange food.

The crowd quickly took advantage of the darkness to set out on the road, and traveled all day and night to the vicinity of Haikou in the southeast. After a short rest, Qian Haiqing talked to the crowd about the road, and the guards took up weapons and sneaked silently to the four sides of the Yantian in the darkness before sunrise. Prepare to investigate first.

Pei Jun originally thought that the people occupying the Yantian at this time must be mobs, as long as they are a little outsmarted, they will be able to return with a full reward.Unexpectedly, as soon as everyone approached the periphery of Yantian, the first few of the guards yelled, "There is a fraud!" , Under the moonlight, a few pieces of silver blades flew past their faces at an extremely fast speed, "dangdang" was nailed to the surrounding dead trees, and they were deeply embedded in them in an instant.

"Damn it, there's a trap, get out!" Pei Jun gave an order, and quickly stepped forward to pull the guards who were trapped first, but saw that their ankles were already trapped by the iron bars nailed to the ground, and they couldn't get out for a while. .

Just as he was desperately trying to save someone, he heard a whistle and a gust of wind behind him.He subconsciously clenched his silver gun and turned around to block it. With a "clank", the silver gun hit the sword blade like thunder, shaking his tiger's mouth numb and almost splitting open.

——What a big hand!

Pei Jun was startled inwardly, looked up, and saw under the darkness, a masked man in black was holding the sword that he had blocked. At this time, he couldn't make a single blow, his brows were sharp, and he raised his hand to strike again.

Pei Jun hastily poked the ground with his spear, turning back and backing away, but the man in black saw that he was fast, so he stuck to his long sword and stabbed at his feet quickly—Pei Jun landed on his left foot, and he stabbed on his left foot, then landed on his right foot. He then stabbed his right foot, the sword stab was fast and precise, if it was any faster, Pei Jun would be in danger of losing his feet.

Although Pei Jun practiced martial arts when he was young, he was not born in the army after all. Now he was jumping up and down in a cold sweat.

The sword edge of the man in black pierced through Pei Jun's clothes and cut his waist. Pei Jun suffered pain, the silver gun in his hand fell away, and he fell to the ground hard. His chest was pierced, he only had time to close his eyes, and he felt that the moment was right——

However, after a while, the expected pain did not come.

The cold and hoarse voice of the man in black came from above his head: "Why do you have this thing?"

Pei Jun was taken aback, and slowly opened his eyes, only to see that the man in black was pointing his sword at the center of his chest, while his clothes were torn, his front was open, and the Jiang Yue picked up from Ningcheng was hanging on his chest. The sachet was being exposed to the sword of the man in black without hindrance.

Pei Jun's pupils shrank slightly, and while the man in black was not looking, he grabbed the sachet and rolled over, grabbed the silver gun on the ground and ran away.

At this time, the surrounding salt fields were already full of men in black who had heard the news, and they fought fiercely with the guards brought by Pei Jun.The man in black behind him quickly caught up and grabbed him by the back of the collar, pulled him to a halt, and quickly shoveled forward with his feet, causing Pei Jun's ankles to go numb and his whole body to lose balance, and he was immediately stuck in the neck , fell to the ground.

He tried to resist with his backhand, but in the struggle, he only pulled off the black veil that covered the man in black.

Under the moonlight, the black veil was falling, and the man in black had eyebrows like crow's feathers and eyes like hanging stars. At this time, he was condescending, and his whole body was full of coercion, like a lord in charge of life and death.

The moment he saw this man's face, Pei Jun was stunned, his whole body trembled involuntarily, and he called out:

"Jiang Yue?!"
