Chapter 061

"Liu Wo, you are such a brute force, but you should show mercy and stop."

The Yamen servant roared and formed a circle around the place where the two people were standing, forming a medium-sized arena.

At this moment, Lu Jiu'an suddenly said: "10 points will be deducted if you lose." When

Liu Wo heard this, he just tilted his head in the direction of Lu Jiu'an, nonchalantly.

He didn't think he would lose. Magistrate Lu's words were just unnecessary.

The competition is a best-of-three game. The first game is about strength, the second game is about speed, and the third game is a direct confrontation. Whoever's upper body touches the ground first loses.

In the first game, a common fighting technique was used. Liu Wo was already known for his strength in the team. There was a huge disparity in strength between the two. Zhan Weizhu did not get any benefit from him, and Liu Wo won easily.

Zhan Weizhu lost the first game, and became more and more frustrated. She stretched her limbs on the spot excitedly, and raised her chin provocatively and glanced at Liu Bo, as if she was the one who won.

Lu Jiu'an was very interested, and all the government officials around her were so excited by her move that they wanted to drive Liu Wo off the field and meet the next challenge themselves.

Really, this girl is too arrogant!

The second round of speed competition was a regular race. The venue was changed from the backyard to outside the county government office. It was a straight road. The two of them had to start from the starting line and run all the way to the pillar under the big banyan tree, which was almost a hundred meters. look like.

One hundred meters, a sprint of this distance, not only tests the explosive power of the muscles in the early stage, but also tests the speed in the middle stage and the sprint in the later stage. Every step is very critical.

Modern sprinting must be divided into male and female competitions. Because of women's physiological characteristics, they do not have an advantage in physical fitness and leg span. Sprinting is actually not very fair to Zhan Weizhu.

However, when Zhan Weizhu was consulted about the competition method before the game, Zhan Weizhu was very firm in requesting that the competition be conducted according to these three types.

"It's not scary to lose. Only when you know where you are lacking can you have room for improvement."

Lu Jiu'an gave a thumbs up to express his admiration. It was amazing that this sentence came from an ancient person.

The two stood in front of the starting line to prepare. After Zhan Weizhu took a few deep breaths, he suddenly squatted down, with his left knee on the ground and his right knee forward. After the legs bounce twice, the back supporting leg is slightly raised.

"What kind of posture is this?" Fu Wenxin folded his arms and muttered, "Like a cat or a dog."

Lu Jiu'an glanced at him with his lips curled up when he heard this, and Fu Wenxin was stunned, thinking that he had offended him because of his inelegant words The county magistrate looked sideways.

Little did he know that Zhan Weizhu's squatting starting position was exactly what Lu Jiu'an told her.

It is expected that this starting position was laughed at by others because of its weirdness.

However, the crouching start is the most explosive position in sprinting. The reaction obtained by pushing on the ground with all your strength can accelerate the start to the maximum limit.

In order to express his appreciation for her, Lu Jiuan, the biggest cheat, gave Zhan Weizhu a small and insignificant convenience.

"Bang!"

As soon as the gongs and drums for the starting command sounded, Zhan Weizhu stepped back and exerted a slight force, and shot out like an arrow from the string. Only the afterimage flashed past at such a fast speed.

Everyone's eyes were dazzled. When they looked again, Zhan Weizhu had already pulled Liu Wo two or three meters away.

"No, it can't be right? Is this Zhan Weizhu really a cat?" Fu Wenxin opened his mouth wide, looking suspicious of life.

"This speed... is too outrageous!"

Liu Wo fell so many steps behind from the start. He gritted his teeth and looked ferocious, as if he couldn't believe that he was being outclassed by a woman.

Of course, he would not give in. He swung his legs vigorously and caught up.

However, after Zhan Weizhu started running, her speed became faster and faster. She was already known for her agility, and she ran as fast and light as she could with all her strength, like an unblocked elk on the grassland. No matter how hard Liu Wo tried, it was all in vain in the end.

Zhan Weizhu quickly crossed the finish line of the pillar and stopped breathing heavily. She put her hands on her hips and laughed out loud: "Nothing more than that."

Liu Bo rushed over quickly, his face flushed, and he also I don't know if it's because of the rush of blood from running, or because of Zhan Weizhu's anger.

Zhan Weizhu provoked him again and again. Finally, someone among the yamen couldn't bear it anymore and cracked his knuckles: "Young girls are too arrogant. I, Yu Lao Er, can't stand it any more. Liu Wo, please change me." Come on."

Liu Wo scratched his head and said, "Go away, it's only the second game. It's not sure who will win."

"Oh, you're still angry. You have the nerve to be angry after being defeated by a bitch?"

Liu Wo huffed and puffed in his chest. Ups and downs, eyes wide open.

In fact, he originally wanted to end the battle in two rounds, and did not leave a chance at all. He also felt that Zhan Weizhu was not capable of a third round. Now in front of everyone, he was crushed by Zhan Weizhu and won. I felt a snap on my face.

Liu Wo pulled off his outer shirt, and his exposed arms were bulging with muscles and covered with veins.

"Come on, Zhan Weizhu, I won't give up to you in the third game."

Zhan Weizhu sneered in a very shameless manner: "As you said, you gave up to me in the last one, just come over here, I will take you "Kneel down and sing "Conquer"

"What?"

"You don't need to know." Zhan Weizhu hooked his fingers: "This is what Mr. Lu taught me. "

"Nonsense. " Master Lu wouldn't say such a thing." Liu Wo tried to find Lu Jiu'an in the crowd: "This man has gold at his knees. Even if I, Liu Wo, lose, I will never kneel to you."

Lu Jiu'an chuckled. People don't lose the formation. Liu Wo didn't compete before he started talking about losing. Why are his group of government servants so stupid? If they go out to deal with them in the future, it will be a shame for him.

Cultural courses must be put on the agenda!

The two of them started to fight back and forth, Liu Wo's fists were fierce, and Zhan Weizhu did not give in too much. He was as slippery as a loach, and Liu Wo couldn't catch it at all. Liu Wo stopped and said angrily. : "Don't hide if you have the ability. Do you dare to compete with me openly?"

Zhan Weizhu ignored him, wiped his nose and hummed: "Master told me that human hands and feet are like weapons. One inch is long, the other is strong, and every inch is short. "Danger, since there are no rules, of course I will use what I am good at to deal with you."

Liu Wo shouted and looked at Lu Jiu'an anxiously: "Sir, this Zhan Weizhu is

just a fool." What a stupid guy. Lu Jiuan sighed and spread his hands: "It only depends on winning or losing, regardless of method."

Liu Wo's eyelids drooped, like a big aggrieved dog. Lu Jiuan pointed to his head: "General Han "Where are the strategies I taught you? Use them."

Liu Wo's eyes were shining, but it was a pity that he didn't have a deep pass. Compared with Zhan Weizhu who has been running around in the world all year round, Liu Wo was dodged by Zhan Weizhu. Flash, the result can be imagined, he was quickly exhausted.

Zhan Weizhu squatted down and lightly swept his legs. Liu Wo's huge body was unsteady and hit the ground with a bang, kicking up dust all over the ground.

Liu Wo's face was full of humiliation, and he lay on the ground for a long time and refused to get up.

Lu Jiu'an was funny: "A manly man who is willing to admit defeat will only be deducted 10 performance points."

Lu Jiu'an didn't say it was okay, but when he mentioned it like this, Liu Wo felt that the duck he was sure to win had been let go by his failure, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

At this time, Mu Lin spoke up for Liu Wo: "Zhan Weizhu wins by cleverness. If she is in the actual battle, she should not be your opponent. But if I train with you for a period of time, the result may not be determined." "

Zhan Weizhu won the best-of-three contest. No matter what method she used, facts speak louder than words. Especially in the second round of racing, her explosive power and speed were unmatched, and the government officials who were watching and cheering were convinced.

Lu Jiu'an said: "So, don't say that women are inferior to men. Do your own thing well. Your own abilities and achievements will never be improved by belittling others."

Zhao Laosan looked eager to try: "Sir, I'll try it with Zhan Weizhu. Don't get me wrong, I just think this kind of competition is interesting.

"

Yes...yes."

Everyone is competitive.

Zhao Laosan's words made Lu Jiu'an think about it. Yes, he had been worrying about how to encourage national sports before, so why not hold a winter sports meeting?

Due to food and clothing problems, people in Yingping have been struggling to make ends meet all year round. In recent years, recreational activities have been rare and almost extinct.

It is winter now, and the people have little time to do farm work. Holding a sports meeting will not only inject a touch of color into Yingping's boring life, but also increase their cohesion.

He remembered that when he was studying, no matter whether he was a good student or a poor student, as long as it was a sports meeting, everyone would come over and cheer for the people on the field at the top of their lungs.

That day will be the most glorious time of the year for the students in the class. Not only do they enjoy serving tea and water, but they also have people helping to hold their arms and legs and ask for help. The whole class is united like never before.

If you get first in the class, the great sense of honor will overwhelm everyone. There is only one voice in their hearts:

We are first in the class!

Personal glory is completely incomparable.

At that time, another wave of sponsorship will be obtained to develop the sports meeting into Yingping's unique entertainment event.

In such a lively scene, there are always smart vendors setting up stalls around, right?

After all this comes and goes, won't the economy pick up...

"Sir?"

Lu Jiu'an came back to his senses slightly, looked around, and saw other people looking at him expectantly. He thought he was eager to compete, so he laughed and scolded He said: "Do you want to compete with other girls? Since you want to compete, then hold a sports meeting just for you to compete."

Zhao Laosan's eyes lit up: "Are there also today's races, arm fights, and ring battles? " Yes

." Lu Jiu'an said: "There are not only individual competitions, but also team competitions, long and short races, relay races, long and high jumps, and tug-of-war. There are quite a few, enough for you to have fun with."

Liu Wugang is embarrassed . , eager to find the venue, he rubbed his hands and asked: "When will it be held?"

Lu Jiuan touched his chin: "The sports meeting needs a flat venue and some seats for the audience. It will definitely not be available in the near future. It must be repaired first. "A stadium."

Lu Jiu'an did it as he said. He had been in Yingping for so long that he knew the surroundings and even all the villages. He quickly found a suitable location on the map: "It's not far from the county seat, and there aren't many villages around it." , opened up and designated as a playground."

Lu Jiu'an kept sliding his long fingers on the map and drew a small circle around the county.

Lu Qi was confused: "Sir, what is this circle you drew?"

Lu Jiu'an said: "Greenway around the city."

Since there is a stadium, greenway around the city is indispensable. If people are encouraged to exercise in the future, then it will be necessary Provide them with a dedicated place to exercise.

Running is a simple aerobic exercise that all healthy people can try, and the track is easy to build.

Lu Jiu'an's inspiration gushes out like spring water. Now that there is a stadium and a greenway around the city is being considered, let's design a venue for the government officials to practice obstacle courses.

After all, to become a people's soldier rescue team, climbing and jumping are indispensable.

Zhao Laosan saw Lu Jiu'an smiling with evil intentions, and for some reason, he suddenly shuddered.

Lu Jiu'an is like this. If inspiration comes in a steady stream, he thought of several interesting and implementable plans, and finally finalized: "Build the playground first. Since you want to compete, then you will be the laborers."

Poor. A group of government servants were dragged into becoming young men again just because of a whim.

Lu Jiu'an encouraged them: "Give some effort and fix it as soon as possible. When General Han's Snow Embrace Twelve Cavalry comes back, we can drag them to compete together. Don't you want to?"

Lu Jiu'an is like a roundworm in other people's stomachs, he always knows. What others expected most, he used the simplest and most effective way to defeat the enemy with one move and make these government officials submissive.

Chapter 062

To prepare for a sports meeting, the equipment needed for the competition is essential.

For example, if you use Taoist timing equipment in a race, don't count on a stopwatch. Xie Huailiang is still painstakingly studying the wall clock.

Lu Jiu'an settled for the next best thing and had to ask him to get a touch timing equipment. Finally, after Xie Huailiang thought hard, he improved the timer by combining it with the rope. When a person runs to the finish line and knocks over the rope, the timer will be paused and the record will be reached. Purpose.

Lu Jiu'an stayed in the office, unable to feel the changes in light and darkness in the outside world, until Lu Qi gently knocked on the door: "Sir, it's late at night, go to bed early."

"Okay, you go back to your room first, I Then leave."

Lu Jiu'an glanced at the rapidly increasing energy value on the computer. He still had 20,000 to unlock the printer. He had never missed the convenience brought by modern technology so much. He only hoped that after the sports meeting, the energy value would increase. It can be over 100,000.

Lu Jiu'an sighed, his thoughts moved, and the office suddenly turned into my hometown.

When Lu Jiu'an blew out the candle and walked out of the study, Lu Qi had disappeared. There was a lantern left in the verandah, emitting a faint light that could only illuminate a one-meter radius.

In ancient times, there were no electric lights, mobile phones, or computers, which was extremely inconvenient. Lu Jiuan was extremely uncomfortable at the beginning, but he has gradually gotten used to it.

The winter in Yingping is different from that in southern Shanxi. There is overwhelming snow in southern Shanxi, and the temperature is low, and the cold wind often howls. However, if you are fully equipped, your body will not feel so cold.

In Yingping, the world is not pure white. Even in winter, many of the plants in Yingping have evergreen leaves. But on the contrary, the cold in the south is cold, and it is cold that penetrates into the bone marrow.

During the short distance that Lu Jiu'an walked, his whole body felt like he had been plunged into the cold lake water, and the tip of his nose turned red from the cold.

There was a heater burning in Lu Jiu'an's room, but he was afraid of carbon monoxide poisoning, so he only burned it for a while before letting people evacuate.

Lu Jiu'an took off his clothes and was about to go to bed when Lu Qi came in with a basin full of hot water: "Sir, it's freezing cold. You can use hot water to boil your feet. I've already ordered my servants to stuff two of them under your quilt." Tang Pozi."

The hot water in the bathtub quickly steamed up a large amount of mist in the room.

"Then let's take a dip."

Lu Jiu'an had just taken off his boots and put his feet into the hot water. Lu Qi squatted down and got into the tub. Lu Jiu'an was startled and quickly lifted his feet out of the water: "What are you doing? Well?"

Lu Qi rolled up his sleeves and said matter-of-factly, "I'll rub the young master's feet. Dr. Qin said, rub them hard to make them warmer."

"Get up." Lu Jiu'an pulled Lu Qi's arm to the edge of the bed. Sitting down, he stretched out his fingers and flicked his forehead: "You are my brother, you don't have to lower your status to do these things."

Lu Qi looked at him steadily: "I just want to do these things for you, it has nothing to do with your status."

Lu Jiu'an's heart softened: "Be obedient, take off your shoes and take a bath with me."

The two pairs of men's feet were put into the tub together, and the hot water spilled out. Lu Qi exclaimed, Jiu'an saw through his thoughts and held down his legs that he wanted to pull back: "It's okay, it's all spilled."

Somehow, this scene reminded him of the time when Han Zhilai gave him a medicine pack when he returned from water treatment and took a hot bath. , the scene where he invited the general to take a bath together because there was not enough hot water.

Han Zhi had been away for more than a month. Although he knew that the twelve knights of the Snow Guard were brave and good at fighting, after all, they only had less than a hundred people. Two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Jiang Yu and other guards are very skilled. Didn't they suffer a loss at the hands of the bandits at the beginning and lost two of them.

The details of the bandits are unknown. We don't know how many they have, nor their abilities. How easy is it to catch them under such circumstances?

Moreover, now they are operating on someone else's territory. Yingping's terrain is steep and the mountain roads are complicated. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Lu Jiu'an is deeply afraid that Han Zhi will not notice and fall into the bandit's plot.

Lu Jiu'an was in a daze. He put his feet in the basin for a long time without stirring it. Lu Qi asked: "Are you worried about General Han and the others?"

Lu Jiu'an sighed: "Yes, with Han Zhi's ability, he will never use it for that long. "I'm worried about something happening along the way."

Lu Qi said, "General Han has fought many enemies on the battlefield, and he has faced countless conspiracies, open and covert attacks. My lord, your concern will lead to chaos. Lu Qi believes in General Zhenyuan and Xueyong Twelve." The ability to ride."

Lu Jiu'an could only comfort himself: "I hope so."

He rested late last night, and Lu Jiu'an couldn't get up today. He stayed in bed, leaving only a piece of black hair scattered around the silk pillow. .

The plainly dressed girl gently carried the toiletries and placed them in the room. The boy brought in two pots of red-hot coals, and the room instantly became warm.

Lu Jiu'an stretched out under the quilt, rolling around and squirming with his eyes narrowed.

Lu Qi hurriedly stepped in from the threshold and almost stumbled: "Sir, get up quickly."

"What's wrong?" Lu Jiu'an finally gave himself a rest and wanted to take a good nap.

Lu Qi's voice contained surprise: "Good news, sir..."

Lu Jiu'an jumped up from the bed and said, "Brother Han is back?"

Lu Qi shook his head: "My master and his wife have sent a letter, and they have brought a bunch of things that are not worth mentioning." Countless supplies. "

Lu Jiuan lives in a wealthy and harmonious family. His parents are still alive, with two brothers above him and a sister below him.

Father Lu made the business outside flourish, and Mother Lu kept the backyard in good order. When Father Lu turned 50, he was blessed with a double happiness and welcomed a baby boy.

Since Lu Jiu'an was born, the Lu family's business has been going smoothly, and there is a tendency to improve it. He is the clam pearl that the Lu family holds in their mouths for fear of melting, and holds it in the palm of their hands for fear of breaking. Suddenly, the whole family became very fond of him.

Lu Jiu'an's grandmother followed him in every aspect and loved her grandson as her darling.

Lu Jiu'an is also very competitive. Not only does he have excellent luck, he has also been extremely talented in poetry and calligraphy since he was a child.

Until she won the crown in the Moon Palace, she was selected as the third flower by the emperor, and then demoted to Yingping.

The two elders of the Lu family burst into tears. Lu Jiu'an was so old that the farthest away from them was to go to Shannan for scientific research. Now he has to go to Yingping, which is a hundred and eighty thousand miles away, not to mention the barren mountains and rivers, and the poisonous miasma. Surrounded. How could their pampered little boy endure it?

No matter how reluctant he was to leave his family, Lu Jiuan still said goodbye to his parents and set out on the road alone with only a few guards and Lu Qi.

Lu Jiu'an has complicated feelings. This is a relative who has been bound to the original owner since birth. He doesn't know how to deal with this strong love for the calf. This family relationship belongs to the original owner, not him.

Four or five letters were sent from home, each written by different people, and carefully packaged in boxes.

Each letter filled several large pages. In the letter, the parents were short-tempered and asked about their welfare. As Lu Jiu'an looked at it, a text he learned while studying suddenly sounded in his head: "Is your child cold? Are you hungry?"

Just now. The emotions that were still so entangled were wiped out in the warmth between the lines.

Lu Jiu'an's throat was choked, and tears dripped down his cheeks on the letterhead, making the ink words blurry. Lu Jiu'an cried until he broke down.

In the hearts of parents in the world, their love and care have not diminished at all with the passage of time, but have become stronger with each passing day. And this longing for seeing him, with the blessing of distance, became more and more intense, turning into a raging fire, burning Lu Jiu'an's whole heart.

"Father...mother..." Lu Jiu'an murmured, not knowing whether it was due to the influence of his original body, but he called out so naturally.

The clerk of the Household Department was full of emotions, and Lu Jiu'an's true feelings touched him deeply. At this moment, the corners of his eyes were moist. He glanced sympathetically at Lu Jiu'an in his prime, and couldn't help but think: "This County Magistrate of theirs, Lu Jiu'an, is so... He left his hometown alone when he was young, and has experienced so many natural and man-made disasters that his age should not have to endure. It is really sad to cry so sadly. After all, he is still a child without a family."

Lu Jiu'an burst into tears, and his back was filled with tears . Slightly bent as if overwhelmed, Lu Qi's eyes were red as he stood beside Lu Jiu'an and kept stroking his back.

After a while, Lu Jiu'an took a long breath to calm down, and his expression slowly returned to his usual appearance. Except for the tears on his face, he looked completely different from before.

Lu Qi asked: "Sir, are you feeling better? What did the madam say?"

Lu Jiu'an handed him the family letter: "I'm almost here. They are old and their bodies are not suitable for pommel and horse work. They can't do it for me personally." It's time for the crowning ceremony."

I have been thinking about his son who is alone at home, and I have been counting the days and preparing a car full of gifts for him to celebrate his crowning in advance.

Lu Jiu'an opened the first box, which was full of hometown snacks, each one thoughtfully wrapped in toilet paper.

Lu Qi said in surprise: "It's the almond bergamot from Nongzi Street, steamed chestnut flour cake with osmanthus sugar from Paoliu Lane, ice-cut spring deep from Ruyifang... Young Master, they are all your favorites."

Lu Qi said for each snack . The name reminded Lu Jiu'an of the scene in his childhood when he secretly took the boy to the streets and ate and drank wildly, and he couldn't help but smile.

Lu Jiu'an opened the second box, which contained tea, jade, pens, inks, paper, inkstones, etc. divided into categories.

Lu Jiuan stopped in front of the last box, opened the lid, and saw three crowns and hats placed on top of the neatly folded dark blue crown uniforms.

"My mother cannot be here in person, and I feel so sad that I can only sew a hat to comfort my heart."

In the courtyard, under the lights, at the dining table and in the side room, an old woman stayed awake, holding the cloth in her left hand and pinching it in her right hand. The embroidery needle sews the endless thoughts into these three crowns stitch by stitch.

Lu Jiuan held the hat in his hand and raised his eyebrows: "I'm here, I will be an adult in more than ten days."

Lu Jiuan's birthday is the same day as Lu's father. In addition to replying to his hometown, Lu Jiu'an also needs to write to his father. Prepare birthday gifts.

Lu Jiu'an replied with something interesting and asked, "Who did you meet yesterday?" What did you do today? In short, report good news but not bad news.

On the contrary, he took great pains to prepare a gift for his father. Not to mention the local specialties of Yingping, he prepared a copy of them all.

Thinking that elderly people like them usually have bad spines, they stuffed soft cushions and ergonomic cushions into their luggage.

I also brought the Nine Rings, the Rubik's Cube, and the interesting gadgets recently developed by Xie Huailiang, just to pass the time for the two of them on weekdays.

Lu Jiu'an didn't see much when he was packing, but when it came time to actually pack the boxes, they all added up to more than a dozen boxes. There were only two cars when he came, and now he has doubled the number when he went back. Under the control of the groom, eight fat horses dragged four heavy carriages away gradually, and soon disappeared.

The mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and Lu Qi was busy preparing for Lu Jiu'an's crowning ceremony, and could not spare a moment.

Seeing that Lu Qi had turned back into the nagging housekeeper, Lu Jiuan was as big as two heads. He rubbed the bridge of his nose with his fingertips: "Stop fussing, isn't it still so long? Prepare so early, if you want to show off Should I sue Quan for peace?"

Lu Qi directed the maids in the house to sprinkle water and sweep the floor. Hearing this, he said, "Sir, getting crowned is a once-in-a-lifetime event. As your personal pupil, I am now your long-term follower. , Of course, the layout must be strictly controlled, and there should be no mistakes."

Lu Jiuan casually picked up the Bingzhan Chunshen on the table. The name of this snack is elegant, but the ingredients are very simple, but after being cooked by hand. , the taste matches the name very well, no wonder Lu Jiuan liked to eat it so much before.

Lu Jiu'an took two bites and was ready to tell Lu Qi not to worry so much. But before he could say anything, he heard a high-pitched and excited voice announcing the good news from outside the window: "My lord, my lord, General Han and Xueyong Twelve They're back after riding down the bandits!"

Lu Jiu'an didn't even eat any snacks. He couldn't wait for the official to come in and walked out with his legs: "Where are they?"

Mu Lin came over after hearing the news and asked: "Han Er is back? When did it happen?"

The yamen servant's hair was messy and he was panting when he spoke. He must have run all the way back. Lu Jiu'an saw a maid next to him dragging a pot of tea and was about to put it into the back room, so he took it over with his hands. : "Drink some water."

The yamen officer drank the water and then spoke intermittently: "The general and the twelve Xueyong cavalry have arrived at the border of Yingping. They have captured a lot of bandits, and they are densely packed with their hands and feet tied and following them. I'm afraid they've wiped out all the gangsters in Jiangzhou. Now, people traveling to and from Yingping, Jiangzhou no longer have to worry."

Lu Jiuan calmed down and was deeply moved. No wonder they stayed there for so long. It turned out to be because they were searching for these cunning bandit leaders.

Chapter 063

: Different from the silence when they first came to Yingping, under the command of Han Zhi, the twelve snow-clad cavalry entered the county town with deafening force.

Han Zhi was covered in wind, rain and blood, and his face was covered with beard due to long-term neglect.

He was sitting on the horse, holding the reins in one hand and holding a spear in the other. His expression was cold and solemn, and his eyes were half-covered.

Because he had just withdrawn his troops, his eyes still contained a bit of hostility and indifference, as if he were looking down at the ants from a high position.

From a distance, Han Zhi saw a dozen shadowy figures standing at the entrance of the county town. He couldn't help but slightly tugged on the reins. Xiao Xiao stopped and stamped his hooves anxiously.

There were so many people at the entrance of the county town, but he could accurately identify the person he had been thinking about.

Seeing that Han Zhi's team had not moved for a long time, and if the mountain did not come, I would go to the mountain. Lu Jiu'an rushed over to meet Han Zhi.

As soon as Lu Jiu'an ran away, Han Zhi also moved, marching forward with great force like an army of soldiers and horses, and finally stopped steadily in front of Lu Jiu'an.

This group of people were covered in dirt and blood, especially Han Zhi. He had a great time killing on the way to suppress the bandits, but he couldn't hold back the blood evil energy until the return trip. Lu Jiuan only felt the suffocating power rising to the sky like a ball. Thick blood mist rushed toward him.

Lu Jiu'an didn't take a step back, looking straight into Han Zhi's eyes: "Are you injured?"

Han Zhi shook his head: "A small superficial injury is nothing to mention."

Lu Jiu'an stretched out his hand, wanting to shake the victorious hero's hand. Fist, the big palm on the horse's reins retracted like an electric shock: "There is still blood on my hands that has not been washed away."

Lu Jiu'an smiled nonchalantly: "After you have narrowly escaped death and killed the enemy, I will still despise you, remember. Stay here, Brother Han, you are the cutest people."

After Lu Jiu'an said, he stood up on his tiptoes, pulled the clothes on Han Zhi's chest, and pulled him off the horse so effortlessly.

Lu Jiu'an leaned over, stretched out his arms to hug Han Zhi, and punched his back hard with his clenched fist: "Welcome back, our great hero."

Han Zhi lowered his eyebrows and looked at the back of Lu Jiu'an's head.

Before, his love was like a burning fire, and he was wandering between pain and sourness every day, so much so that he had to withdraw. He felt that as long as he didn't see this person, his heart would not be affected by him and suffered.

But in fact , every night in the open air after the day's battle, Han Zhi could not help but think of Lu Jiu'an's figure, his face, his hands, his smile, his slender straight legs and jade-like figure. chest.

Mountains and dense forests, distant waves and morning glow, everything is him and everything is not him.

As the war intensified, while conquering the most difficult mountain, Han Zhi suddenly thought: "How about taking Lu Jiu'an captive to the border, so that he can be with him all the time, and there won't be any mess." Someone or something will disturb them."

However, such an unbelievable thought only occurred for a moment before he stopped it.

Jiu'an has a gully in his chest, and he holds the people of the world in his heart.

Is he going to break his wings just for his own selfish gain?

Besides, he was a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he still had border lands that he needed to guard.

The bandits harboring on that mountain were all extremely vicious people, and Han Zhi was so angry that he killed them heartily.

After the killing, he suddenly felt relieved and made a decision:

It was just a matter of love, so there was no need to be hesitant. Just think of conquering the enemy camp and just plan carefully...

Han Zhi stretched out his hand, intending to give him a fist in return as a comrade, but In fact, Lu Jiu'an's move was just a spur-of-the-moment move. Before he could take action, the arm holding him was about to explode, without any hint of charm.

Lu Jiu'an looked at the crowd of bandits behind the Twelve Horsemen: "Brother Han, are there so many bandits in Jiangzhou?"

"Fortunately, these people are not bad in nature. When we attacked, they surrendered. The rest resisted desperately and did heinous things, but I killed them one by one."

Although it is said that the bandits who were detained were recruited voluntarily, in the end, their previous identities cannot be regarded as such. Real good people will handle it.

In the end, Lu Jiu'an asked them to do hard labor first. After the inspection period was over, they could consider where to stay.

When Han Zhi and his Xue Yong soldiers returned to the county government office, they had washed away all their fatigue and filth. Lu Jiu'an couldn't wait to take out a brand new piece of clothing: "Brother Han, after the reward given by the emperor, I will have someone make some clothes for you using those materials."

Lu Jiu'an unfolded them one by one for him to see. There were Lined with an outer shirt, it has everything you need to wear to keep you warm in winter and cool in summer.

"Look, not only have they been made for you, but each of the soldiers who came this time to hold the twelve knights of Snow Horse also has their own style."

Han Zhining frowned: "They don't need it."

Lu Jiu'an looked at him accusingly: "No, Brother Han, just This is Ying Ping's gift of thanks, and I have to accept it anyway. The environment in the border area is harsh and you have to sleep in the open air. It's just a set of clothes."

Han Zhi paused, seemed to remember something, and called Yang Gengqing outside the door. He said: "Bring the things in."

Yang Gengqing said nothing, and the footsteps gradually faded away. After a while, Yang Gengqing came in holding a ball of fluffy white stuff.

Han Zhi handed it to Lu Jiu'an: "I'll give you a piece of fox fur. Ask your servants to make it into a coat and wrap it around your neck to keep you warm in winter.

This fox fur is of excellent color. It's all white and not mixed with any color. , when these soldiers came back, all of them were obviously gray and dusty, but this fox fur was not stained with any dirt. It must have been well preserved.

Yang Gengqing said: "This fox happened to be seen at the foot of the mountain when we came back from camp. Arrived, the general felt that it suited you very well the first time he saw it. I was caught after two days of pursuit. In order not to damage the fur, the general did not use bows and arrows and captured them alive with bare hands. "

Lu Jiu'an touched his forehead and smiled bitterly, but did not reach out for a long time.

He finally took the initiative to give the general a gift, but unexpectedly he was given something more valuable in return. Lu Jiu'an didn't know what to do.

"Jiu'an, Just keep it, I won't need it if I hold it. "

Han Zhi turned his head and looked at the lanterns hanging around him, with a puzzled look on his face: "Is there any happy event at home recently?

Lu Jiu'an was embarrassed: "I'm going to win the championship soon. Why is Lu Qi celebrating me in a big way? " Actually, I don't think this is necessary. Han Zhi

was stunned for a moment, then looked at him seriously, with a whirlpool in his eyes: "The crowning has different meanings, it's better to be solemn and formal."

"I know, but the crowning ceremony will be held in the ancestral temple. Hanging these in the county government office seems extravagant and wasteful. " "

Han Zhi originally planned to return to the frontier after suppressing the bandits. Now that he heard that Lu Jiu'an was about to be crowned, Han Zhi stayed in Yingping for a few more days and waited for Lu Jiu'an to be crowned before leaving.

The ceremony for the crowning had not started yet. Another thing happened to Ying Ping, which was the winter sports meeting planned by Lu Jiu'an.

It was the simplest fortification in Ying Ping's history. The location Lu Jiunian chose didn't have many tall plants, so he only needed to remove the grass. The shrubs were removed and the road surface was smoothed.

In addition, these government officials were eager to compete with the Xue Yong soldiers, so they worked very hard and built the playground that Lu Jiuan wanted in just a few days.

It was also easy to arrange the spectator seats. The yamen officials adapted to local conditions and slightly tidied up a circle of hills around the flat ground, which turned into a stand overlooking the scene.

But the only drawback is that people can only bring their own small benches, otherwise in addition to sitting on the floor, they have to stand on their legs all day long.

A white cordon was sprinkled with lime on the playground. Except for the athletes, other unrelated personnel could not cross it.

The venue conditions and environment of the first sports meeting were indeed a bit crude, but when people experienced it for the first time, they just saw it as a novelty, so they probably wouldn't care too much about it.

The sports meeting chose an auspicious day with relative weather conditions. The people in Yingping got the news early from the notice. Whether it was the old group of locals or the new group of refugees who had just settled, they all gathered in small groups on that day. Come to the venue.

The yamen who serve as staff at the venue are maintaining order: "Go one by one, don't push, don't enter the white lines."

Although Xie Suiqian and the other nobles are old and no longer interested in these sports events, they still It was Magistrate Lu who started the event, and he also sent people to occupy a position with a wide view, intending to support it.

After all the onlookers had taken their seats, Jiang Weiwei looked around and exclaimed: "Sir, there are so many people here, more people than on the day when the shop was completed and accepted. I'm afraid everyone from Quan Yingping is here."

Lu Jiu'an and Han Zhi sat in a row together and said happily when they heard this: "This year there are only people in Yingping. When the economy gets better and the number of vendors in Yingping increases, these interesting things will be passed down by word of mouth through their mouths. It's getting more and more lively."

Jiang Wei tied the red headband on his forehead and looked at Han Zhi expectantly: "Is the general really not going to show up?"

Han Zhi raised his eyelids and looked at the other member of the Twelve Riders. The deputy general patted him on the shoulder: "You are so courageous, our generals are going up there? Isn't that bullying others? What's more fun?"

Jiang Weiwei thought about it dejectedly, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

"I should be satisfied now. Being able to compete with the real twelve snow knights will be an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Commander, for agreeing to our request."

The deputy general clenched his fists and snapped his muscles and bones: "Haha, right and left Nothing. When the general took us, there were actually competitions, but they were all real fights. These competitions that Magistrate Lu thought of sounded quite interesting. We are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, so we can change them occasionally. The porridge and side dishes are also good. "

...

Lu Jiu'an heard their conversation from the side and was speechless for a while, and deeply suspected that what Xue Yong Twelve Cavalry just said was suspicious of Versailles.

The previous matches between the Yamen and the Snowy Twelve Riders will not appear in the official match, but will be held as a friendly match at the end.

The strength of the two is very different. If the game is one-sided, it will be a bit satisfying to watch, but because there is no suspense, people will not be able to talk about it after the game.

The competitions only selected track and field, high jump and long jump, tug of war, and Cuju.

Track and field is further divided into 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash, 1600-meter long-distance race, relay race, and 100-meter hurdles.

There will be five groups of government officials participating in the sports. They will wear five different colors of red, yellow, blue, green and purple to make it easier for people to distinguish.

Mu Lin pointed at the contestants doing warm-up exercises at the entrance: "Are they going to go on stage directly?"

Lu Jiu'an shook his finger mysteriously: "Of course not, there has to be a performance before the competition. Please take a closer look. ."

As soon as Lu Jiu'an finished speaking, a young man walked up to the only high platform in the playground. After he stood in front of the stage, he bowed slightly to the front.

Han Zhi: "Is this Lu Qi? Is he going to perform?"

Lu Jiu'an smiled and said: "No, Lu Qi is the host and conducts broadcasts. He wears many hats and will also provide live commentary during the game. "

Han Zhi has become accustomed to the endless flow of unfamiliar words in Lu Jiu'an's mouth: "Why do you need to explain?"

Lu Jiu'an: "If there is a live commentary, the atmosphere will be more exciting."

Lu Qi on the stage could only hear the scene. With enthusiastic cheers, he followed the procedure written by Lu Jiu'an, raised the trumpet-shaped bamboo flute in his hand, and said loudly: "The first Yingping Winter Games has officially begun. Now please enjoy the pre-game pep song.

" There was silence because Lu Qi's words passed through the strange object in his hand and reverberated around the scene like thunder. From such a long distance, everyone could hear it clearly.

Lu Jiu'an looked at Han Zhi's eyebrows and knew that he was curious. He took the initiative to answer his questions without waiting for him to ask: "This is a simple microphone. Xie Huailiang made it according to my request."

Han Zhi said sincerely: "Jiu'an has a talented man. There are many strangers."

Lu Jiu applauded and said, "After all, we have to learn from everyone's strengths. After all, after you left, Brother Han, I recruited another person, a Taoist priest. If his research makes any progress, Ying Ping will be transformed. I'm counting on him now."

Chapter 064

Meng Yitai, the luthier, finally returned to her job. She carried her pipa, which was always with her, to the high platform, and Lu Qi placed the microphone facing her instrument.

"Shh, let's listen attentively." Meng Yitai's level of performance could hold a concert in modern times.

The music that Meng Yitai played today was different from before. It started with a loud "dang" sound, and then the momentum continued unabated all the way. The whole section was impassioned, majestic and majestic.

The pre-game pep song was very effective. The onlookers cheered loudly and easily got their blood boiling.

"This song should only be heard in heaven, and is rarely heard in the world." There is a scholar who shows off his literary talent.

"It's soul-stirring. Let's play another song."

The deputy general listened to it for the first time and excitedly clapped with everyone: "This young lady plays so well. It makes me want to fight the general for 300 rounds without knowing where the sky is. Hahaha ."

This deputy general should be the only person in Xue Yongbing who has an out-of-control temper. As soon as he speaks uncontrollably, he realizes what he said.

Sure enough, Han Zhi said: "Next time if you can't last fifty rounds under me, then you will be punished by feeding the horses."

The deputy general suddenly fell silent. The miserable scene of being punished by feeding the horses was still vivid in his mind, so how could he dare to accept it? General's words.

He rolled his eyes to find a way out for himself: "Haha, sir, it would be good to add a horn to this piece of music."

Lu Jiu'an was pleasantly surprised, wow, this man knows music quite well, he even made a symphony: "The suggestion made by the deputy general is very reasonable. In the future, it is better to find other artists, erhu, guzheng, flute... and form a symphony orchestra for them."

He not only wants to be Meng Yitai's boss, but also provides support for these artists in different fields. We are close friends, and I hope that after they meet, they can cherish each other and create different sparks in the field of music.

Meng Yitai's song ended, and the government servants waiting at the entrance gate entered one after another. Mu Lin asked: "Is it going to start now?" Lu

Jiu'an still shook his head: "Not yet." Speaking of sports games, how can we miss the opening ceremony? Woolen cloth?

The evolution of the sports opening ceremony has evolved from a regular square formation at the beginning to a variety of hardcore appearances. At the opening ceremonies of different schools, representatives of different classes performed eighteen kinds of martial arts, striving to become the brightest star in the school.

I can only say that it is not the weirdest, only weirder.

Unfortunately, it was the first time for the government officials to attend the opening ceremony. Even though Lu Jiuan emphasized that they could play boldly, they couldn't keep up with the standard for a while, and finally chose the old-fashioned square formation.

Just leave, the phalanx is marching neatly, and it's just time for the people to see the sudden change in the military quality of our Yingping disciples.

Sure enough, the yamen's appearance with his head held high and his chest raised as if copied and pasted, even waving his arms and raising his legs at exactly the same angle, shocked the audience.

Even Han Zhi, who cherished words like gold, couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows and gave a very high evaluation: "It is well-ordered and coordinated. Under my banner, over time, it can be cultivated into elites."

The yamen uniformly walked to the center of the playground, The sound of footsteps falling heavily on the ground overlapped together, creating an aura that shook the earth.

"Serving the people wholeheartedly is our purpose. Yingping's government officials will always protect the lights of thousands of families in this land!"

Nearly a hundred adult men shouted out in a deep and powerful voice, like piercing clouds and cracking rocks, The scene was very shocking.

The people were stunned, and the next moment tears filled their eyes. Some of them stood upright, waving their hands, in response to the yamen officer's oath-like promise.

The Twelve Horsemen of Xuehu were also stunned. It was the first time for them to see such a scene where soldiers and civilians were united. Their hearts were filled with ups and downs, as if this group of ordinary government officials had lit a fire in their hearts.

No wonder before coming to Yingping, the deputy general asked Commander Yang: "How is the place where the general is staying?"

How did Commander Yang answer at that time? As if his eyes were twinkling, he answered with just four words: "The people are harmonious."

Enjoy his food, dress him well, live in peace, and be happy with his customs. The people will be harmonious, and all nations will be harmonious.

Lu Jiu'an has been working hard towards such a simple yet arduous goal. Yingping seems to be a suitable place for the people to live. The food is not so delicious and the clothes are not so gorgeous, but the people are united and united.

"He has truly become a compassionate county magistrate who protects the people from wind and rain." Qin Zhao sighed. Ji Zhi's insistence on staying in Yingping was indeed a wise choice.

After the Yamen retired, the official game began.

They had never forgotten this day since the day they played Zhan Weizhu. During the game, they tried their best and worked hard as if they wanted to avenge their shame.

Zhan Weizhu's starting posture was corrected by the Yamen. It is indeed more explosive than the ordinary standing and bending postures. Therefore, everyone chose this starting posture in today's track and field competition.

The deputy general crossed his arms with great interest and praised: "Wow, that's okay. It looks a bit impressive. Guys, don't embarrass me in the friendly match later."

The referee blew the bamboo whistle, and the five groups of contestants were anxious. Shooting out, you chase me, knocking down the red ribbons at the finish line one by one after a while.

Thanks to the timer that Xie Huailiang rushed out, they were evenly matched. The time difference between them was very small, and it was difficult to tell the winner with the naked eye.

The referee registered and read the table and quickly decided the ranking.

When the contestants were running, Lu Qi would give commentary on the stage: "The red team rushed out first, the blue team was chasing after them, and the yellow team rushed up. He passed the third place, and then passed the second place. Beautiful ! The yellow group seems to have won the first place. Let's take a look at the final score obtained by the judges. The yellow group came first!"

The contestants on the playground went all out, and the host on the stage gave passionate explanations. With this two-pronged approach, the scene was indeed like Lu. As expected by Jiu An, the atmosphere was high.

In such a scene, if there is a voting link, the audience participation will be higher. However, the preparation for the first sports meeting was relatively hasty, and this link was only added in the second year.

If we talk about track and field competitions, individual competitions such as high jump and long jump, where the winner can be decided in a moment, are already very exciting, then the tug-of-war competition ignited the scene to unprecedented excitement.

In a tug-of-war competition, the two teams must work together. If anyone's steps or wrists are slack, the situation will change.

This change happened not just once, but several times. The suspense is often more touching. Some viewers held their breath and wrung their fingers and couldn't help but feel nervous about it. Others were completely opposite, cheering and cheering one after another.

Finally, under the expectation of everyone, one side was overwhelmingly strong and the other side was defeated like a mountain. The red cloth strip in the middle of the rope crossed the Chu River line to determine the winner.

"We won." Liu Wo roared.

As the anchor of the tug-of-war team, he stood in the last position and had to wrap the rope around his body, acting as a stabilizer in the team, almost like a goalkeeper in a football match.

In the process of being pulled several times, he was not pulled over by the other party at once, which was a great contribution to his contribution.

Liu Wo was so excited that his chest was hammered. His companions in the team gathered around him, lifted him up and threw him high into the air.

Infected by their emotions, the audience actually started to throw the Sipa fruits in their hands in their direction. If there was nothing available in their hands, they simply pulled a weed next to them, and every item counts as the same to express their joy and support.

Lu Jiu'an was surprised: "These brats, have they started to act as fans so early?"

Han Zhi raised his lips, knowing that he still had a few days to win, yet he called someone else brats.

He turned his head, just in time to see Lu Jiu'an take out a headscarf, bite it in his mouth, stretch out his arms and start to pull his hair.

Han Zhi leaned forward slightly: "Do you need me to help you?"

"Uh-huh." Lu Jiu'an bit his turban and spoke vaguely. Han Zhi pulled the turban out of his mouth, biting out the cigarette headband. A circle of wet shapes.

Lu Jiu'an freed his mouth, sat down obediently and let Han Zhi do whatever he wanted: "Thank you, Brother Han. My hair is too long, and it's really hard for me to style it."

He had been learning for so long, and he could only tie his hair up, no matter how much he did. hairstyle? Sorry, it's too complicated. He's clumsy and can't learn it.

The satin-like blue silk slowly slid along the fingers, and the warm jade-like neck was looming under the collar.

Han Zhi lowered his eyes and moved his calloused hands flexibly. Lu Jiuan didn't even feel his scalp being pulled. He moved away from his body pressed against his back: "Okay."

Lu Jiuan only saw Han Zhi . When he was wielding swords and guns, who would have known that he would actually tie his hair in a bun? He once again sighed sincerely: "To be honest, Brother Han, it's a pity that you don't marry a wife. Whoever marries you was cultivated by her in her previous life." Blessed. If you can do it on the battlefield, if you can do it in the kitchen, and you can also wear a bun, I won't have the slightest doubt that you can still paint your eyebrows."

Han Zhi said: "No

, it doesn't matter. , you are already a top ten good man." Lu Jiu'an came closer, blinked his eyes and whispered: "Brother Han, why don't you get a wife?"

Han Zhi looked at him with condensed eyes and said nothing.

Lu Jiu'an coughed twice: "If it's inconvenient to say, just pretend I didn't ask and I'll leave first."

"Where to go?"

Lu Jiu'an took off the loose and thick robe outside, revealing the narrow sleeves wrapped inside . Brown, smiled brightly: "It's time for me to play in the next Cuju game."

When Lu Jiu'an was studying, he even played basketball and football with his classmates. Since he started working, he has been working from nine to eight every day. He often stays up late in the morning and works overtime, and has an early schedule. Messy.

Later, my career steadily improved, and I had more time. I developed a lazy temperament, and I couldn't make enough teammates, so I never played football again.

Now he has to take the lead and set an example, just to get over his addiction to football, and he wonders if his skills have become rusty after not playing for many years.

Lu Jiu'an rushed to the court, bumping shoulders with his teammates and hugging them one by one: "Jiang Weiwei, you have to work hard. I haven't touched the ball in many years, and I'm just waiting to win today."

Lu Qi was the first to respond, clenching his fists , his eyes were unwavering, as if he was confident: "Don't worry, sir, I have learned a lot from Jiang Huwei, and I will definitely lead you to victory."

Lu Jiuan came on the stage, the cheers became even louder, and the audience got excited and started throwing fruit silk handkerchiefs again. Even an old man like Xie Sui Qian Qin Zhao took off his waist accessories with great interest and threw them into the center of the field.

"Lord Lu, I'm counting on you to beat them to a pulp."

"Master Lu is mighty!"

Liu Wo: ...

You were clearly cheering and celebrating for them just now, so why are you letting Master Lu beat them to a pulp again? It would be too quick for the people to fall out.

"Don't throw it away. I will try my best. If the venue is dirty, it will be inconvenient for exercise." Lu Jiuan stopped the enthusiastic behavior of the people and asked staff to pick up the gifts in the center of the venue.

In order to prevent strains, Lu Jiu'an is used to doing a few warm-up exercises before exercising, such as lowering his waist, pulling his legs, and stretching his hands and feet.

Han Zhi's eyes swept over the young man's body inch by inch, from the sunken waistline to the stretched long legs.

The lust that was finally suppressed resurfaced so quietly.

It's true that wildfires can't be burned out, and the spring breeze blows them again.

Over and over again...

Han Zhi pressed his temples and closed his eyes in frustration.

Han Zhi was not the only one on the field who was attracted by the young man's vitality. Mu Lin regained his cuteness and showed a frivolous attitude that has been battle-tested for a long time: "It's unprovoked, that small waist, those long legs, tsk tsk."

Han Zhi raised his eyelids, Yes, the young man is full of energy, his strong figure when running, and his smiling face when he scores a goal. I don't know how many people will be touched by this.

Lu Jiuan started to stumble and gradually became more comfortable, and the more he kicked, the smoother he became.

...

"Wow!"

"Master Lu won!"

"I knew that Master Lu is a Kunshan jade, there is nothing he can't do."

Lu Jiu'an pulled off his turban excitedly, crumpled it into a ball and looked at it. The seats were thrown away, but a scholar with quick eyes quickly grabbed it and waved his turban proudly.

In the eyes of scholars, these are all cool and unrestrained moves for elegant people in southern Shanxi.

Lu Jiuan and his teammates high-fived each other.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

The sports meeting is basically over now. The people have endless aftertaste. When they left with the small benches, they were still discussing it in a lively manner.

As a result, I heard that there was a friendly match between Yamen and Xue Yongbing, so I went and came back excitedly.

The deputy general cracked his neck and said, "It's finally time for labor and management to come on stage. It makes my hands itch."

Yang Gengqing has a calm temper, but he is a man after all, and it is difficult to resist the temptation of sweat and competition. He looked at his general inquiringly.

Han Zhi said expressionlessly: "Go ahead, take off the token if you lose."

The yamen servants took a short rest. They exercised continuously for a whole day, and they didn't feel tired. The things they had been dreaming about were finally coming true, and they followed each other one by one. Bloody, even more energetic than before.

The Xueying soldiers had been working non-stop on the mountain to suppress the bandits for more than a month, and their condition was no better than that of the government officials. Both sides were evenly matched.

Both Yamen and Xue Yongbing were trained under Han Zhi, but Xue Yongbing was renowned as an elite army in the Zhou Dynasty. In just one stick of incense, he won the game effortlessly.

Sure enough, it was a crushing direct pass. No matter how the government officials changed their strategies, in the face of absolute power suppression, it seemed that all their efforts and strategies were just decoration.

All the government officials were lying on their backs with their limbs stiff and unable to move.

So tired.

A hearty battle.

So cool.

The yamen servant laughed with satisfaction.

"This group of brats who don't know the heights of heaven and earth are still dreaming of defeating Brother Han's Snow Soldiers. Are the pillows given to them too short?" Lu Jiu'an scolded with a smile, with connivance in his tone, "But it's a good thing for people to have dreams. What if it comes true?"

Han Zhi remained silent, as if he didn't even notice what Lu Jiu'an said, looking at his toes in a daze.

Chapter 065

The morning light fades, and everything is silent.

The Yingping County Government Office was buzzing with activity.

"Is it ready yet?" Lu Qi went back and forth to the kitchen to urge him.

Today, his son has reached the crown, so he must not miss the opportunity.

"Here we come, here we come."

The boys hurried over carrying three buckets of hot water, followed closely by the maid holding a black silk cloth garment.

"Give it to me. You go down first and come in when I call you." Lu Qi reached out to take the clothes, turned around, walked around the landscape screen and walked into the inner room.

The cold wind and cold air whistled past the house, and the house felt as warm as spring. Buckets of hot water were poured into the bathtub, filling the air with steam.

After everything was ready, Lu Qi walked softly to Lu Jiu'an, only to see him wearing a white fluffy collar and dark green fox fur, leaning on the couch, holding his forehead with his hands as he raced to regain his sleep.

"Sir, it's time to take a shower."

Lu Jiuan's hand slipped and he almost fell to the ground.

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Crown Ceremony, those who receive the crown need to burn incense and bathe to remove dirt and filth.

Lu Jiu'an wore Cai Yi's black Zi Zi clothes, decorated with vermilion brocade borders, then put on Cai Lu and went to the county government temple.

The temple is solemn and elegant, with statues of sages of Confucianism standing inside, and sacrificial objects such as ash furnaces and shrines placed in front of the statues.

A clerk from the Ministry of Rites has already stood solemnly. He will serve as today's crowning official and help preside over today's crowning ceremony.

The wooden wheelchair rolled gurglingly on the ground. Lu Jiuan bowed to Qin Zhao and said, "Mr. Qin, I'm tired."

Qin Zhao wore a high crown on his head, and his cold right hand slightly supported him: "I can crown the magistrate of Lu County. Lucky to be born."

Lu Jiu'an was very embarrassed.

The ceremonies of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Crown Ceremony are usually performed by parents or clan elders, and rarely by others.

If he had not been away from home and his parents were not around, he would not have bothered the doctor with limited mobility.

There is such a big Ying Ping, who dares to recommend himself to crown the magistrate of Lu County? Apart from Qin Zhao, there is really no suitable guest to host the crowning ceremony.

Mr. Qin Zhao was a highly respected man and had served as an imperial physician in the palace. In terms of status, experience, and moral character, he was the perfect choice for the guest of honor.

The Ministry of Etiquette read out the congratulatory speech according to the procedure, and Lu Qi put Lu Jiu'an into the deep-cut dress that Lu's mother had prepared in advance.

Qin Zhao first added a cloth crown: "On the auspicious day of the month, he began to add Yuan clothes. He abandoned his young character and followed him to become virtuous. His longevity test is only Qi, and he introduces you to Jingfu."

Lu Jiuan bowed, and Lu Qi took off his dark clothes and took off his clothes . Take off the Zi cloth crown and put on the Lan suit.

Erjiapi Bianguan: "On the day of the auspicious month, it is the time for Shen Erfu, respect for you, majesty, and Shushende. The eyebrows will live for thousands of years, and you will be blessed by Hu forever." Lu

Jiu'an bowed again, and Lu Qi took off his deerskin hat and Lanfu, change into public clothes.

Finally, he added the title of Bian crown: "In order to keep the year right, and to keep the order of the month. Xian Jiafu. Brothers are here to achieve great virtue. Huang Lao has no boundaries and is blessed by heaven."

Lu Qi took a bottle from Yousi's tray. The wine was handed to him. He was worried that Lu Jiu'an was drunk and wanted to secretly spill some into his sleeves, but he was also afraid of breaking the rules.

"Sir, please drink slowly."

Qin Zhao smiled knowingly: "The wine is refreshing and won't hurt anyone, don't worry."

Lu Qi's thoughts were exposed and he tilted his head in embarrassment.

Lu Jiu'an held it in his hand and stretched out the tip of his tongue to lick it carefully. As expected, the taste was weak, so he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

Originally, according to the ceremony, it was customary to put on a dress and hat to meet the clan officials after being crowned. When the Ministry of Rites came to ask Lu Jiu'an about the regulations, he said: "I won't hold it at home, so there won't be so much red tape. ."

At this point, the crowning ceremony is complete.

Even so, Lu Jiuan felt even more tired than staying up all night as he walked through a circle of rituals and took turns changing clothes.

Qin Zhao looked at his gloomy face and said jokingly: "Xiao County Magistrate Lu is getting married today when he reaches adulthood. How can he still frown?"

Lu Jiu'an lowered his shoulders, shook his head and sighed: "Jiu'an will establish a career first. We'll get married later, there's no rush."

​​Lu Jiu'an couldn't wait to return to his house, took off his dark blue crown and wrapped himself in a fox fur coat.

He was shivering from the cold, curled up his neck, and his face was sunk in the long fox fur.

Han Zhi handed Mrs. Tang to him, and Lu Jiu'an sighed: "It's finally over."

Han Zhi said: "When I got the crown, I was busy all day.

" Yes, if I put mine with you, it would be like a small witch or a big witch." When Lu Jiu'an said this, he suddenly said, "Come to think of it, Da Zhou and Guan don't even have words." "

What? " "

It's the same as a name."

Han Zhi asked shamelessly: "Why do you need a name if you have a name?"

Lu Jiuan sneezed. Of course, it was impossible to say that this was from the Zhou Dynasty. Customs passed down.

He could only speak vaguely: "Actually, I also saw it in a book. There is a place where after the crowning ceremony is completed, another word is added to the name. It is considered a kind of good name. People who are close to each other can call each other by the word. "Actually, it's nothing. I said this just for fun."

Lu Jiu'an was afraid that he would say something if he asked again, so he took the initiative to change the subject and complained to him about how sore his waist was after standing for so long today. My back hurts so much, as if it suddenly turned into an unbearable delicate flower.

Lu Jiu'an changed the topic abruptly, and Han Zhi couldn't tell. He just hesitated to speak. Lu Jiu'an said, "Brother Han, tell me what you have to say."

Han Zhi said his plan in a low voice, calmly and calmly: "Follow me." Just tell me, I will go back to the border tomorrow."

Lu Jiu'an was stunned, stopped talking, and muttered again as if he didn't respond, "I'm going back to the border?"

This day has finally come.

Lu Jiu'an's usually bright eyes became dull, and he weakly comforted himself: "General, it has been more than half a year since I came to Yingping. The soldiers on the border cannot do without you. There is no saying that there are no handsome soldiers. You should really go back. Han Zhi

stared into his eyes, and slowly, each word seemed to roll on the tip of his tongue: "Jiu'an can't bear to let me go?"

Of course he can't. We have been together for so long, and we have already developed feelings for each other. : "Yes, it's a pity that there is no eternal feast in the world."

Han Zhi was silent for a long time and asked an irrelevant question: "What Jiu An answered Qin Zhao in the ancestral temple before was true? You won't know how to do it before you establish your career." Marry a wife and have children?"

"Yes, Heroes of Women, if we fall in love now, I'm afraid I won't be able to settle down anymore." Just kidding, falling in love is not as good as having a career.

Han Zhi asked again: "How can we establish a career?"

Lu Jiu'an tilted his head and thought for a while, then gave an ordinary answer: "Yingping has a good harvest, and the people must have surplus food in their hands."

"There is enough time."

" Huh? "What's too late?" What Han Zhi said was really nonsense. Lu Jiuan was confused when he heard it, but Han Zhi kept silent.

Han Zhi left as soon as he said so. Fortunately, Lu Jiu'an was prepared and prepared a full frame of supplies in advance. Lu Jiu'an escorted him all the way to a long pavilion on an ancient road. Han Zhi stopped his horse and said, "Let's stop here. "

Lu Jiu'an was feeling sad about parting: "We say goodbye today, but I don't know when we will meet again."

No wonder there were so many farewell poems in ancient times. In an era when transportation was inconvenient, some people were still young men in light clothes and fast horses when they separated. When we meet, he may have gray hair hanging down his neck.

Fu Wenxin burst into tears and cried miserably: "General, I will always remember you. Woo hoo hoo."

The emotions that Lu Jiuan had finally brewed up were all washed away by this moment.

Han Zhi did not have such sentimentality. He leaned down from the horse, approached Lu Jiu'an, looked at him from top to bottom, and asked in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "Jiu'an, I hope you remember what you said yesterday, wait for me Come to Yingping next time..."

How about coming to Yingping next time? Lu Jiu'an almost put his ear to Han Zhi's mouth, but he spoke softer and quieter, and his unfinished words were like a wisp of smoke, dissipating in the wind.

...

That's not what the whispers say. Lu Jiu'an was as curious as if he was being scratched by a cat's claws, but Han Zhi pulled away.

"Ah, Brother Han." Lu Jiu'an suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly: "Mu Lin hasn't come to say goodbye yet, why don't you wait for him?"

Han Zhi waved his hand without looking back.

Lu Jiuan's imagination held hands to hold him back, and said goodbye with tears. There was no lingering parting between the men. General Han was still in front of him a moment ago, but now there is only withered grass and green sky.

General Han really left this time, and Lu Jiuan was extremely melancholy.

Not only because of the sudden loss of Han Zhi's thick and useful golden thighs, but also through this period of getting along day and night, he had already introduced Han Zhi as a close friend.

Lu Qi saw that Lu Jiu'an was in despair, so he couldn't help but persuade him: "The general has gone far, it's freezing cold, sir, let's go back too."

The snow-armed soldiers marched very fast, reaching the Yingping boundary, using less than half a stick of incense. At the right moment, Han Zhi suddenly tightened the reins and his hoofs made a long hiss, dragging a messy footprint on the ground.

Hoofiao was the leading horse, and as soon as it stopped, the horses behind them all neighed and stopped.

Yang Gengqing didn't understand: "General..."

Before he could finish the question, he suddenly smelled the aroma of wine on the tip of his nose. He was secretly annoyed that he was so careless that he had to wait for the general to stop before he noticed. He immediately threw his spear and shouted: "Who, come out?"

Mu Lin raised his hand to catch it, and took two steps back in vain: "Commander Yang is still so rude."

He took the gun in his hand, bumped it, and threw it back at Yang Gengqing. Then he stood unsteadily and sat down on the grass along the tree stump.

Han Zhida stepped forward, picked up his wine gourd with a gun, and threw it far away on the ground. The wine gourd was not covered, and transparent wine gurgled out. Mu Lin shouted in annoyance: "Hey, Han Er, you can make my wine." What?"

Han Zhi turned a deaf ear and said in a cold voice, "What's the matter with you here?"

Mu Lin curled his lips and said, "I've been your best friend for many years, so it's okay for me to give you a ride, right?"

Han Zhi sneered: "When I first set out for the battlefield from southern Shanxi, I remember you came to see me off and broke the leg of the horse given by the emperor, so I had to change horses temporarily."

Mu Lin touched his nose and said, He was not careful that time, and Han Zhi had held a grudge for so many years. He said stubbornly: "I came to see you off this time out of kindness."

Han Zhi was so busy asking: "Then tell me, why are you so kind?"

Speaking of this, Mu Lin no longer felt guilty. He even laughed at Han Zhi mercilessly: "When I first saw you treating Lu Jiu'an, I thought you two were in love and had already communicated with each other. Later I found out that it was you. Wishful thinking."

Han Zhi has a deep love for Lu Jiu'an, and every move he makes overtly and covertly seems to be in Sima Zhao's heart. Anyone who has experienced romance can easily see it.

Besides, Mu Lin had been hanging around Fengyue's place for many years, so Han Zhi certainly couldn't hide it from him.

It's a pity that only Lu Jiu'an has a rectum that reaches the end, and he can't see the deep affection in Han Zhiyi's eyes.

Han Zhi remained unmoved, as if Mu Lin's words had no impact on his heart.

Mu Lin kept talking: "Han Er, you know, during this period, I almost died laughing when I saw how you kept suppressing yourself and trapped yourself in a cocoon."

When Mu Lin said this, he was really happy. Holding hands and laughing.

Han Zhi's face was as dark as water: "Have you laughed enough?"

Mu Lin finally stopped laughing and asked, "I'm just here to ask you, do you plan to keep it secret like this?"

Han Zhi remained silent, and Mu Lin seemed to know His answer in silence: "You are indeed right about Yumu Ge'ao. If you don't express your feelings, how will Lu Jiu'an know? Why, you want to boil the frog in warm water and let him feel it for himself? Stop dreaming, just Lu Jiu'an A person who doesn't understand love, no matter how affectionate you are, as long as you don't tell him, he will treat you as his brother for life."

Han Zhi lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, slowly snapping his fingers, and his hoofs moved at the sound, and he rushed over in a blink of an eye. In front of him, Han Zhi got on his horse and said, "If you are here just to say this, then go back. I'm leaving."

Mu Linheng hated that iron cannot become steel: "I'm here to give you advice, even if you talk about it, Don't tell me I didn't warn you. If you leave like this, you will see a group of his wives and concubines."

Han Zhi's figure on the horse paused: "No. "Yes, Jiu'an said he would start a family after he established a career."

So he changed his plan and planned to return to the border first. After arranging the snow soldiers and border guards, he could leave enough time to wrap up his prey like a python, slowly eating it one bite at a time. Swallow it.

Mu Lin shook his head and added fuel to the fire: "Tsk, tsk, there are really fools who believe this. Love doesn't know where it starts, and it goes deep. How can you control it? What I said to you about Meng Yi before Tai and Lu Jiu'andeng are not lying about this, and Qin Jizhi is watching eagerly. If you don't get to the water tower first, if someone gets there first, don't come to me to drink to drown your sorrows

. Ask yourself, can you tolerate Lu Jiu'an getting married to someone else in the future? Can you tolerate Lu Jiu'an sleeping with someone else and having skin-to-skin contact?"

Han Zhi straightened his mouth, veins popped up on his neck, and looked at him expressionlessly. Mu Lin.

"When the time comes, Magistrate Lu Xiao will hold his beloved wife and lead his child, and nothing will happen to you without you."

Han Zhi's eyes were as dark as ink and he said nothing.

Suddenly he turned the horse's head and galloped forward. Within a few breaths, he disappeared.

The deputy general, Monk Zhanger, was confused: "Where are you going, general?"

Mu Lin smashed his mouth and took out another wine gourd from nowhere.

"Let's go to the balcony."

Chapter 066

Lu Jiuan sat in the study and wandered into space. He held the pen for a long time. The ink on the tip of the pen was dry and he didn't write a word.

A surprise call suddenly sounded outside the courtyard. Amidst the commotion, Lu Jiuan heard a rush of footsteps approaching from far away.

He looked at the figure standing against the light at the door of the study, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief: "Brother Han, didn't you leave?"

Han Zhi closed the study door with his backhand, and the light in the study suddenly dimmed, allowing Lu Jiuan to see clearly. His face and a pair of calm eyes.

Han Zhi slowly approached him step by step, and under the calm eyes of the lake, an undercurrent began to surge.

Lu Jiu'an didn't know what to do. He swallowed his saliva and felt a sense of fear in his heart for no reason.

The only passage between the study and the outside world was closed by Han Zhi. This small space was so quiet that it was suffocating.

"Uh..." Lu Jiu'an turned his head crazily, trying to make a little noise to cover up his uneasiness: "Brother Han, did you forget to bring something?"

Han Zhi closed his mouth tightly and had no intention of answering. .

Lu Jiu'an was forced to retreat again and again, and finally had no way to go. His back was pressed against the pillar. Finally, he was afraid and reached out to push him: "You...what are you doing."

Han Zhi buried his head in silence . Looking at him quietly, the turbulent waves in his eyes were overwhelming. His gaze slowly fell from Lu Jiuan's eyes to his full lips. Lu Jiuan had a bad feeling and struggled instinctively. The next moment, all the words he wanted to say were wiped out. Swallow it into your belly.

Han Zhi's lips pressed heavily on his lips, turning them around repeatedly.

Lu Jiu'an's head was buzzing with thought, and he was so blown away that he lost all reflexes.

Han Zhi's left hand was tightly around his waist, and his right hand was pressing the back of his head, like a ferocious beast, gnawing at its prey and grinding it to the limit, sucking so hard that it seemed like it was going to eat him up.

Lu Jiu'an's lip was accidentally bruised by him, he hissed slightly in pain and came to his senses. Suddenly, he felt like a scalding hot water kettle. Not only his cheeks and ears were red, but steam was also sizzling out.

"Uh huh..."

Lu Jiu'an struggled with his hands and feet, flopping up and down like a carp that fell on the shore and was short of water, and finally got a breath of strength: "Hey, don't go too far, uh..." .."

Han Zhi almost didn't hold him down, his eyes darkened, and he kissed him again.

Han Zhi pressed close to him, using his own strength to hold him down. Lu Jiu'an almost died under the weight of this iron-like body, and he didn't dare to move anymore.

The person in his arms finally calmed down, Han Zhi was satisfied, and the hot and domineering kiss gradually became gentle.

Han Zhi patiently licked it one by one. Lu Jiuan was so dizzy from his delicate kiss that he slowly became interested and closed his eyes in a daze to enjoy the taste.

It's just that this kiss is endless. Han Zhi is addicted to it as soon as he kisses it. Lu Jiu'an gradually becomes out of breath and reaches out to push him away: "Is it over yet? It's almost done."

Han Zhi had a lingering smile in his eyes, which was fiery . His palm touched the back of Lu Jiuan's neck and gently rubbed the soft skin.

Lu Jiu'an's eyes glared fiercely: "You are so ambitious... ugh."

Poor Lu Jiu'an was kissed again before he could finish his words.

Lu Jiu'an had nothing to do with him. He couldn't beat him again and again, and he didn't have the chance to scold him. He could only let him do whatever he wanted.

Han Zhi's kiss this time was different from the previous two. He pressed him calmly, like a woodpecker next to a big tree, pecking his mouth here and there, and occasionally stretched out his teeth to gently tear him, so tenderly. no.

Lu Jiu'an grabbed Han Zhi's hair and pulled him away: "Are you a dog? You bit me."

Han Zhi held his face with both hands and slowly pressed his forehead against it.

The winter weather is cold outside the window, but the scenery inside the house is infinitely beautiful.

Han Zhi was like a hungry wolf. He hugged him and kissed him for a long time before letting him go.

Lu Jiu'an's originally meticulous hair had a few strands hanging down his forehead, and his usually cunning and gentle eyes became embarrassed.

"Jiu'an, wait until my next response is flat." General Han's voice was light and airy, like white clouds floating in the sky, "The response is flat, Wajihua, I want to show it to you."

Sparks occasionally popped up in the charcoal basin, and in the study Apart from Lu Jiuan, there was no one else.

Except for the unique smell of Leng Feng's iron blood that filled the air, it seemed as if everything that had just happened was just a mirror image.

Lu Jiu'an picked up the pen again, but this time he became even more distracted. Not only could he not write a single word, he finally put the pen heavily on the table, crumpled the white paper into a ball, and vigorously vented his anger. Throw it to the ground.

"Is this Han Zhi sick?" He went all the way and came back, just to hold him and chew on him?

Just leave, but before you leave, you have to do this, isn't it annoying him for no reason?

No wonder I asked him about some wedding matters out of nowhere yesterday, why are my feelings waiting for him here?

Lu Jiu'an hammered the table in annoyance, making a loud bang: "Damn it."

But the ferocious and lingering kiss kept coming to mind uncontrollably.

Lu Jiuan covered his eyes, his whole body was about to smoke.

Han Zhi's fierce actions clearly show that he likes him, not the friendship between brothers, but the love between lovers.

Thinking about it this way, there are actually traces of Han Zhi's liking for him. The way he usually looks at her, the care he shows for her, and the occasional show of restraint and restraint all point to the same truth.

What about himself?

Lu Jiu'an has always felt that he is upright. He has had several girlfriends in modern times. If it weren't for work, he would have gotten married and had children long ago.

Even when I have an erotic dream, the object in my dream is a beautiful sister with fair skin and beauty.

How could he be gay?

However, what happened today shattered Lu Jiu'an's unwavering faith.

He actually enjoyed the feeling of Han Zhi kissing him.

What the hell is this? Lu Jiu'an thought in despair, wanting to cry without tears.

Mu Lin ticked into the study room, his eyes came closer to look at him playfully, and he sighed: "Oh, how pitiful, my mouth is swollen from kissing, Han Er is so fierce?"

Lu Jiuan was so frightened that he immediately raised his hands to cover his ears. Covering her mouth, a suspicious blush appeared on her face.

"Get out." Lu Jiu'an became angry with embarrassment.

Mu Lin looked at him as if he were a little kitten with teeth and claws, and didn't pay attention to the ferocious look he tried to muster up: "You say Han Er is not enlightened, he can torture himself to extreme pain, you say he is not Come on, I just asked him to express his feelings, but he just kissed me directly."

Lu Jiuan completely exploded. His grandma's was actually a demon created by Mu Lin, leaving him alone here, extremely entangled, and unable to keep his mind at ease.

Mu Lin was kicked out of the room by the furious Lu Jiu'an, and the door was closed vigorously in front of his eyes. After that, Lu Jiu'an felt that it was not enough to relieve his anger, so he said harshly: "You are not allowed to come to my study in the future."

Lu Jiu'an was so angry that he came to the office and looked at his mouth from side to side against the glass. Sure enough, just as Mu Lin said, his mouth was not only red and swollen from being kissed, but his lower lip also had a cut. No matter who looked at it, Everyone knows what happened.

Lu Jiu'an gritted his teeth and said, "Bullshit."

Lu Jiu'an drank a few sips of herbal tea. He was still angry and couldn't help but think about all the things he had done since he met Han Zhi.

As I thought about it, I realized that each scene was for his benefit.

Speaking of which, in fact... General Han is good at everything, and there seems to be nothing to fault...

Lu Jiu'an didn't dare to go out to meet people before his mouth was swollen, so he made an excuse to eat three meals a day in the study. Qin Jizhi was turned away even when he came to visit.

Qin Jizhi stood at the door and patted the door persistently: "Jiu'an, I heard from Lu Qi that you are not feeling well. Let me take a look at you."

Lu Jiu'an regretted that he found such an excuse and was caught by Qin Jizhi. Just then, just thinking about what reasons to reject him, there was a loud bang not far away, and the ground shook.

This sound...

this movement...

Lu Jiu'an felt a thump in his heart. It was broken. It couldn't be that Taoist Feng Jing accidentally researched the gunpowder weapon.

Lu Jiu'an could no longer care about the awkwardness in his heart and the embarrassment of being discovered. He immediately opened the door and rushed out. When he saw a figure coming towards him, he had no time to escape and collided with Qin Jizhi who was about to forcefully break in. .

"Jiu'an, run away if it's dangerous."

"Hiss." Lu Jiu'an's nose hit the jadeite on his chest, making stars pop out of his eyes.

Two lines of hot liquid flowed down from his nose. Lu Jiuan stretched out his hand and touched it. It was red.

Bright red nosebleed seeped out from between Lu Jiuan's fingers. Qin Jizhi was frustrated and frustrated: "It's all my fault. Let me take a look."

"It's okay, it's just a broken capillary. It will be fine after a while." Lu Jiu'an pinched the area under his nose and blew his breath.

Qin Jizhi soaked the handkerchief in cold water and carefully applied it to his nose. The clean white cloth instantly turned red.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious and the bleeding stopped after a few minutes.

Qin Jizhi held his chin and looked at it worriedly: "Okay, be careful not to touch him again recently."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes stopped on the two lips that had been bullied, and he froze.

The two lips that were originally in good shape were now congested and swollen, and it looked like they had been severely polished.

The hand holding his chin couldn't help but exert force.

Lu Jiu'an broke free, frowned and said displeasedly: "It's just a nosebleed. No need to make a fuss. I'll go over and take a look."

There was such a big movement, I don't know if there were any casualties.

Qin Jizhi stood there with his eyes wide open in confusion.

Lu Jiu'an was like the glimmer of light in the boundless darkness. When he was at his most lost and depressed, he broke through the fog and pulled him out of the abyss.

He regarded Lu Jiu'an as the faith that saved him from drowning, and his eyes couldn't help but follow him.

Qin Jizhi always thought that he was grateful to him, but it was not until this moment that he understood his true feelings. However, it seems too late.

Not far away, flames shot into the sky, and the servants rushed to each other in panic: "It's flooded, go and put out the fire."

Only then did Lu Jiu'an remember that he had promised to build a monastery for Feng Jing, so he set up his research site in Sparsely populated suburbs.

So what's going on with this explosion?

Lu Jiu'an stopped an old woman casually and asked, "Where's the fire?"

The old woman was in shock, with a white face, and tremblingly replied: "The kitchen."

The kitchen, a place with open fire, is indeed prone to accidents.

Chapter 067

The fire was raging, tongues of flames rolled around the wooden beams mercilessly, and a man wrapped in a white turban ran out of the yard with a huge fire in disgrace, choking and coughing non-stop.

There was a lot of noise in the yard. In addition to the crackling sound of burning wood, there were also the yamen servants carrying buckets to water the fire and shouting incessantly.

In winter, when the weather is dry and dry, a spark falling on hay can set off a prairie fire, not to mention the important area of ​​the kitchen.

Fortunately, the temperature was low, and the yamen servants kept bringing buckets of ice water and pouring it in. The flames gradually faded and eventually died out.

The kitchen had turned into ruins, and the wooden beams, doors and windows were burned black and turned into pieces of coke.

Three or four government officials rushed into the ruins and carried out a huge black body mixed with mottled blood.

A maid with childish features hiding behind the crowd stretched her neck to look, and her face changed: "Ah!"

I saw that the body was burned beyond recognition, and when it was laid flat on the ground, it was no longer human-like, and the maid's face was pale. He took a few steps back, fell to his knees limply, and vomited out while holding his hands.

Lu Jiu'an looked ugly and asked in a calm voice, "What's going on?"

A good stove would be reasonable as long as it only ignites, but why should it explode?

Everyone around looked at each other in confusion. The government servant who came to put out the fire wiped the sweat from his forehead with his dirty hands: "We heard the noise and came here, but we don't know why."

"Who are the people in the kitchen?"

"Chef, are you still here? " There is a fire boy."

Lu Jiu'an frowned, that's not right, there is only one corpse. The yamen servant was smart and returned to the ruins to search again. The kitchen was so big, even if it was burned to only the skeleton, it was time to find it. However, the yamen servant turned over the scorched earth and finally returned empty-handed.

Lu Jiuan breathed a sigh of relief. Not finding him showed that the other person was still alive.

At this moment, Mr. Zhao brought a man who looked like a young boy to Lu Jiuan and kicked him to the ground: "Sir, this man is acting suspiciously, and I'm afraid he has something to do with this matter."

"You're wronged, Mr. Lu." The boy was lying on the ground.

Zhao Laosan didn't believe it, "Then tell me, why are you secretly hiding at the door and looking around?"

The young man glanced at the direction of the corpse, and his whole body was shaking like a sieve. Before Lu Jiu'an asked, he recalled intermittently: "Sir, this little man is really He has never done anything harmful to anyone. The baker came to send a message, saying that he would make some snacks today and asked me to send him a bag of flour. When I walked to the door, I happened to meet the baker.

He said he had an upset stomach and wanted to go to the toilet, so he asked me to take it in. I put it on the stove and left. Who would have thought of such a thing? I don't know what happened. Tears were streaming down the ground, and he was so scared.

"So, if the waiter is not here, then the corpse on the ground is the boy who set the fire?"

The boy's teeth chattered up and down. He was speechless and kept nodding.

In order to confirm the facts in the boy's words, Lu Jiu'an sent people to find the waiter first. Finally, the yamen servant found the waiter beside the latrine, exhausted and weak, with blue eyes.

When the baker learned the bad news, he hugged the body and cried heartbrokenly. Ever since he came to the county government office, the baker had been living with the baker day and night. The two of them had long been more than just partners. There is a sense of absurdity that the world is unpredictable, but also a loneliness that is like a rabbit dying and a fox sad.

"It was fine when I left. The doors and windows were closed tightly. I just made a fire... I said before that I would learn how to cook with me in the future."

Lu Jiu'an had already guessed the cause of the fire from his few words. .

Flour, open flames, enclosed spaces...

dust explosions!

Lu Jiu'an could probably guess how this sudden incident happened.

It was freezing cold, the wind was howling, and in the closed narrow space, the boy who was lighting the fire kept passing firewood into the stove door. At this time, the boy brought flour and put it on the stove. I don't know why, but maybe the cloth bag was broken. Maybe the waiter saw that the waiter hadn't come yet and wanted to help him get rid of the flour. As a result, the flour was scattered in the air and hit the heat source, causing an explosion and subsequent fire.

The Shaohuo boy went to the county government as a slave under a life-and-death contract. He could not find his parents, siblings, or relatives. Apart from burying him on the spot, he could not find any other work-related injury compensation.

Ancient building materials were mainly wood. Once a fire breaks out, if the fire is not put out in time, it will cause unbearable and terrible consequences.

As the new year is approaching, Lu Jiu'an is worried that similar accidents will happen again, so he has taken a series of measures to strengthen fire prevention.

Not only has he added three more watchmen, but he has also distributed fire and disaster prevention manuals to every township, so that everyone can be more honest. We collectively inform people that we must improve people's awareness of fire prevention.

During that time, every household knew that something was wrong with the county government. A boy was burned to death. If the county government office hadn't had enough manpower, the fire would have burned down the entire county government office.

The people were very cautious and careful when burning firewood.

Qin Jizhi rarely came to the county government office since the day of the fire.

I don't know if Han Zhi's kiss opened a door to a new world for him. Lu Jiu'an was like a frightened bird now, thinking about Ji Qing no matter what he looked at.

During the few rare encounters with Qin Jizhi, Lu Jiuan was keenly aware of the changes in his attitude. Sometimes Qin Jizhi would look at him in a daze, which made Lu Jiuan have to doubt Qin Jizhi. He also had special feelings for him, which made him afraid to appear in front of Qin Jizhi.

In order to avoid Qin Jizhi, Lu Jiu'an deliberately chose the time when he came to the house to go out to check the research results of several special talents he had recruited.

The sowing season is in March and April every year, so the only work that farmer Shen Zhi can do now is to select grain seeds and improve the soil by retting the nine points of land allocated by Lu Jiu'an.

Mr. Zhu Hao, the accountant, made rapid progress in the multiplication tables and arithmetic. He was already very interested in arithmetic. He was so hungry when reciting the multiplication tables that he forgot about food and sleep. It only took him a few days to recite the multiplication tables by heart.

When Lu Jiu'an took the exam for him, he was very confident and could answer questions fluently.

"Zhu Accountant seems to be born to eat this bowl of rice. What takes others two months to master, it takes you less than half a month." Lu Jiuan admired sincerely.

Zhu Hao also thanked Lu Jiu'an from the bottom of his heart: "Thanks to Magistrate Lu, the method you taught me is better. Since I learned addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, I can do accounting like a god."

"It's the same thing, okay. Things naturally have to be shared, so as to facilitate Ying Ping's development. I'm not teaching you in vain, we are mutually beneficial. "

The mutual benefit Lu Jiu'an said naturally refers to Zhu Hao's transformation from a student to a teacher. Train a group of financial personnel.

Zhu Hao is a shrewd person. If Lu Jiu'an's accounting team is established, then as a teacher, he will definitely be on an equal footing with the former accountant of the government office. Therefore, he immediately expressed his sincerity: "Don't worry, sir, Zhu will do his best and give everything he has." Professor."

The group of accounting students Zhu Hao wants to teach have all worked in the county government for a period of time and have a certain foundation. Lu Jiu'an said: "If you have any needs, just ask them. If I can satisfy them, they will be satisfied. You."

Neither of them bothered Lu Jiu'an. They have a clear goal. As long as they follow that general direction, they will get Lu Jiu'an's results sooner or later.

But Feng Jing was different. He was crossing the river by groping for stones. The front was empty and he didn't know what kind of results he would get if he groped behind.

Feng Jing's studio is in a courtyard in the suburbs. This place was originally an abandoned and dilapidated tile-roofed house. Lu Jiu'an slightly modified the original building, bought a few Taoist stone statues, put incense burners for altars, and it became a simple Taoist temple.

The gym was deserted, and he was alone. When Lu Jiuan arrived, waves of indescribable smells wafted out of the gym, like all kinds of messy smells mixed together.

Lu Qi was so overwhelmed that he almost lost his breath: "Master Feng, aren't you making alchemy? Why do I feel like you are making poison?"

"What's wrong?" Feng Jing's baby face looked innocent.

Lu Qi covered his nose: "Don't you think your place stinks?"

"Where?" Feng Jing sniffed around with his nose. He was used to staying in the gym and didn't feel anything wrong in the air.

There were bottles and cans everywhere on Feng Jing's workbench. Some bottles had no caps and the contents were spilled on the table. Lu Jiuan collected the yellow powder and smelled it, which smelled a bit like sulfur.

"Like rotten eggs." Lu Qi also picked it up and smelled it, with a look of disgust on his face.

"Don't underestimate this thing. There is sulfur in the ingredients of gunpowder." The other ingredients are charcoal and potassium nitrate. As for where the potassium nitrate comes from and what the ratio of the three is, he doesn't know.

The other two people present expressed confusion: "What is gunpowder?"

Lu Jiu'an thought for a while and gave an enigmatic answer: "A thing that is so beautiful that it can bloom gorgeous flowers and is strong enough to break copper walls and iron walls. "

Lu Jiu'an walked around the gym. Feng Jing saw that he found nothing. He already felt that he was ignorant and had never heard of gunpowder. Now he was even more ashamed and angry: "Master Lu, I didn't refine anything useful. "

Creation is a long and difficult process." Lu Jiu'an expressed his understanding. "It may not be possible for a while. I can afford to wait.

" What do you want?"

Lu Jiu'an patted him on the shoulder and told him not to be stressed: "When it comes to investing, you have to be prepared to lose everything. Even if you can't research anything, I am willing to do so. I won't blame you."

"Besides, the work of the predecessors is the teacher of future generations. Failure is also another way to success. At least you have eliminated this ineffective possibility for future generations, allowing them to avoid detours. "

Lu Jiu'an thought very openly. If I gain my life, I will lose my life. If nothing can be accomplished, then I will change my thinking and method. All roads lead to Rome.

He encouraged Feng Jing, who was not confident, before turning and leaving.

"I'll give it to you." Feng Jing wanted to make some insignificant compensation elsewhere.

Walking to the entrance of the gymnasium, Lu Jiuan suddenly saw an irregular-shaped object piled up in a pile of dust in the corner. He asked curiously: "What is that?"

Feng Jing walked over and kicked it, but it didn't move. The bang bang seemed to be integrated with the wall: "I don't know when I made it before, but it was of no use. I originally planned to pile it up in the corner and throw it away another day, but it rained a little two days ago, and the thing condensed into a lump and became sticky. It couldn't even be buckled on the wall."

Lu Jiu'an was ecstatic, and a bold guess flashed through his mind. He walked over and felt it with his hands, and it was indeed as hard as a rock.

Chapter 068

Lu Jiu'an was so excited that his voice trembled: "You said this thing was not hard before, but it turned like this when it encountered water? Then what did it look like when you threw it into the corner?"

It's been a while, and Feng Jing has been in a mess these past few days. I made a lot of things, but I don't remember them for a long time. He recalled it and said uncertainly: "It seems to be in powder form? Or in the form of pellets?"

"Didn't I ask you to record whatever you do? Write it down?" Is it there?"

After Lu Jiu'an reminded him, Feng Jing remembered: "I do have this. Sir, wait a moment, I will take it out for you to see."

Feng Jing held up a book that was as unkempt as his own . When Pu's handwriting came out, Lu Jiu'an originally thought that this thing was ruined on the outside, at least gold and jade on the inside. When I took it into my hand, I saw that the pages were not only colorful, but the handwriting was also flying and elegant.

This cursive handwriting is comparable to the prescriptions prescribed by traditional Chinese medicine.

Lu Jiu'an handed the booklet to him and said politely: "You'd better read it to me."

Although Feng Jing's handwriting was unflattering, the raw materials, proportions, production process, etc. in the notes he took all corresponded to each other. Everything was ready. After hearing the description, Lu Jiuan was so happy that he wanted to hug him and kiss him hard. This was obviously cement!

He came here with the intention of seeing Feng Jing's progress, but he didn't expect to get any actual gains. The surprise came so unexpectedly.

Feng Jing asked: "Sir, this hard thing is just like a stone, what use can it be?"

"Of course it is useful!" This is cement! Hydraulic inorganic cementitious material. It can firmly cement sand and gravel materials together and is an important component of concrete!

With cement as an adhesive, whether it is building buildings or paving roads in the future, they will be stronger than the current materials.

Lu Jiuan was overjoyed. What Feng Jing made unconsciously could be said to play an important role in future infrastructure work.

"I'll go take a look at the things in your gym." Lu Jiu'an thought that Feng Jing had originally planned to abandon this thing, and worried that something might have slipped through the net again, so he went back to check it carefully.

In the end, there was nothing left to do except cement. It is also possible that he had little talent and little knowledge. Apart from the leading experiences that he had in his extra life, he could not find their use for the time being.

Although cement is available, it is temporarily unable to be produced on a large scale. One of the reasons is raw materials. Another reason is that he needs to build a house again.

You can't just put the materials out on the ground after you pull them back. Workers always need a place to rest on site. Carpenters and iron shops all have formal workshops. Of course, something as precious as cement should enjoy the same treatment.

When it comes to building a house, labor has to be provided again. Fortunately, Han Zhi, the bandit suppressor, had attracted a large number of free men for him, and he was able to reform them through labor.

Lu Jiu'an also set performance points for these prisoners who are waiting to serve their crimes. However, unlike the performance points of government officials, the basic performance points of these reform-through-labor prisoners are negative 100 points. Points will be awarded based on their usual performance. When will the points be added to 0 points? It means that the person has reformed and can be given a chance to start over.

When Lu Jiu'an returned to the office at night, another happy event fell from the sky, knocking him into a daze.

The energy value he had been looking forward to day and night finally increased to 100,000!

But it was not easy. During this period, he only went in and out of the office a handful of times. He was afraid that if he saw something he coveted, he would not be able to control himself and use up the energy he had accumulated.

Lu Jiuan held the mouse and unlocked the printer without hesitation.

"Ding." The printer started up and hummed online.

The tiny green power light made Lu Jiu feel happy. In his eyes, the printer was as precious as a global limited edition sports car.

He will never copy by hand again, he finally has his hands free!

Lu Jiu'an poked his finger happily, intending to experience the printing effect.

He created a new document on the desktop, wrote down a few words, and clicked the print option.

The printer clicked twice and stopped running. At the same time, the computer showed that there was insufficient printing paper.

No, Lu Jiu'an took out the paper box and looked at it. He was dumbfounded. There was not a single A4 paper left. What's the use of just having a bowl but no rice. Could it be that all his hard-earned wages were wasted in the end?

Lu Jiu'an didn't give up. This was a full 100,000 energy points. Could it be unlocked and used as a decoration?

He groped around everywhere, and Huang Tian paid off, and finally discovered that he could use energy values ​​to print directly on the computer, which was equivalent to using energy to generate printing paper.

This means that as long as the energy value is enough, printing paper can be used continuously and unlimitedly.

This is truly a blessing in disguise.

Lu Jiuan smiled happily and clicked OK.

After deducting 5 energy points from the energy value, Lu Jiuan made a rough calculation. Assuming that a book has 100 pages, it only requires 500 energy values, which is really insignificant compared with 100,000 energy values. Lu Jiuan is rich and does not take it seriously.

Lu Jiu'an looked at the remaining energy value, made a lot of choices on the computer, and exchanged it for a financial management book.

After the finished product was printed out, he bound it with a stapler. Lu Jiuan was very excited as he held the freshly made paper book. This way, he could put it in the office and watch it at any time.

Lu Jiunian was filled with emotion as technology brought convenience, and he wondered how Xie Huailiang was doing.

On a whim, Lu Jiu'an wandered to Xie Huailiang's remote courtyard. There was a door across the door, but there was no answer after knocking for a long time.

When he opened the door and saw that Xie Huailiang's room was empty, there was a note on the table: "Blacksmith shop."

From the beginning, Xie Huailiang worked alone, whether it was design or finished product, he did every step personally. Now, together with the beam carpenter and the blacksmith, they form a fixed team of three.

Of course Lu Jiu'an is happy to see the results, as it is said that only when there is a collision will there be sparks.

Before he even got close to the blacksmith shop, Lu Jiuan felt the intense heat coming from inside, as if the surrounding air was distorted and melted.

Suddenly, Xie Huailiang's earth-shattering laughter erupted in the shop: "Hahaha, it's done, it's finally done."

What's done?

The shop was pushed open with great force, and the blacksmith walked out with a red face. He was stunned when he saw Lu Jiu'an: "Master Lu."

"What's so cheerful?" Lu Jiu'an waved his hand without any airs.

Xie Huailiang couldn't suppress the excitement in his voice: "The wall clock is ready."

Lu Jiu'an was surprised. He thought that Xie Huailiang didn't understand the components inside for a moment.

Xie Huailiang's eyes were moist and he almost cried: "I kept fumbling with the wall clock all day long, and once I almost broke the wall clock."

If such a unique and precious thing was messed up in his hands, he would definitely be blamed for his death.

On the one hand, Xie Huailiang wanted to get results urgently, but on the other hand, he was very under pressure. Therefore, once he cracked it and successfully produced it, he was extremely happy.

Lu Jiuan was also happy.

When I feel really sleepy, someone gives me a pillow.

Isn't there a way to explain Jiguan's fortune? For example, Jiguan's wishes came true and he had good luck.

"Master Lu, please go in and take a look." Xie Huailiang invited him expectantly.

After Lu Jiu'an entered, a wave of heat hit his face. The dry and hot air was like an invisible pair of hands, poking back and forth on the surface of his skin, stinging slightly.

Lu Jiu'an saw Xie Huailiang's finished product at a glance, because it was really huge, like an unexcavated rock, occupying one-third of the space of the blacksmith shop, and standing as solid as a rock in the middle of the house.

The blacksmith Nan Ran said: "The things Mr. Xie asked me to make are too small, not as thick as a small man's finger. I am used to making big things, and I can't make these small things."

Xie Huailiang said: "Sir, this Although the wall clock is not as beautiful as the one you gave me, I enlarged it to the same proportion. You see, it can work."

Xie Huailiang said, turning the spring on the back, and there was a "click", and the minute hand was very sharp. Swing regularly.

The wall clock provided by Lu Jiu'an is placed in front of the giant clock. It can be found that the hands on the dials of the two wall clocks swing at exactly the same frequency, like a replica of a mother and child set, one large and one small.

Xie Huailiang's face was full of obsession: "The person who developed this thing must be the best among people. Look at the swing of these three pointers. It's so wonderful. I even feel that it's better than the music Meng Yitai played that day." It sounds beautiful."

Lu Jiu'an finally figured out that this modern Xie Huailiang must be a straight man who regards wood craftsmanship as his lover.

Lu Jiu'an said: "You made the wall clock so big, I just thought it would have a good place to go."

"Should it be used in the county government office to keep time?" This was the first thing that came to Xie Huailiang's mind.

Lu Jiu'an shook his head mysteriously and nodded towards the Life Square with his chin: "How about putting it there? Build a tall tower in the center of the Life Square and put the wall clock on it to make Yingping's bell tower."

Xie Huailiang immediately said Ran: "The bell tower? Like the bell tower, can all the people see it?"

Lu Jiu'an thought further: "Yes, the tower should be built bigger. It will be used as a landmark in Yingping in the future, so that all those who pass by Yingping can see it." Passers-by, as long as they mention the Bell Tower, they will think of our Yingping."

The way of promoting tourist attractions such as Internet celebrity check-in spots has been proved in modern times. There are countless examples of people who are curious and travel together due to word of mouth. .

Looking at the entire Zhou Dynasty, Ying Ping is the only one with a bell tower, and there is no semicolon. Who has heard that there is something that can accurately measure time in the world, and doesn't want to see it?

Lu Jiu'an walked around the giant wall clock and suddenly asked: "Can you set up a mechanism that can automatically trigger a broadcast on the hour?"

"Broadcast?"

"It's like the bell ringing in the temple. It's OK if the sound is louder. It can be transmitted very far, so that the people can know the time based on the broadcast."

Xie Huailiang's eyes sparkled: "Let me think about it, Mr. Lu, this should be possible."

He is a person with many fantastic ideas. Not only did he not feel embarrassed by Jiu Anti's request, he even took it as a challenge and was eager to fight.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Construction of the Life Plaza will begin after the people start planting seeds in the spring. At that time, the victims in the refugee shelters will gradually move out. The towers will be repaired along with them. Try to complete it before then." In

ancient times, Many people do not have timekeeping equipment at home. The phrase "sunrise and sunset" largely explains that they estimate and measure time based on the sun.

If the clock tower is built, people will be able to plan everything they do, and it will benefit the people in a sense.

Chapter 069:

The water of Nujiang River rolls away, and time flies.

As the winter snow melts and spring returns to the earth, Ying Ping slowly revives with the buds on the branches, showing a brand new look.

The refugee shelter completed its mission. Throughout the cold winter, the victims spent their first year in Yingping safely under the shelter of four shops.

"Brother, stop playing. Mom told us to go back."

A little boy wearing a rag hat among the children turned his head when he heard the sound and glanced at Tian Hua, who was standing by the pillar with a bun in her hair: "Sister, Wait a minute, I'm about to win."

Tian Hua put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Mom said, if I can't call you back, he will come with the wicker in person later."

Tian's mother is usually gentle and gentle. , but once a child makes her angry, it is still very scary to get angry and break a wicker to teach others. Tian Shu threw away the round stone beads in his hand unhappily and muttered: "What's so urgent? We have to go back right away."

Tian Hua said: "Our new home is built and we have to move out from the storage room."

Tian Shu said But he was not at all happy: "We have all moved away, will we come back in the future?"

Most of the victims who settled in Yingping were placed in the refugee shelter. There were many victims and many children here. Tian Shu had never had so many interesting playmates. , if they were separated at this moment, would he still have a chance to play with his friends?

"Then I don't know." Tian Hua picked up the ignorant Tian Shitou next to her, "Go back and ask your mother."

The three children stepped into the door of the shop one after another. There were two floors in the shop, except for the kitchen and Toilet, bunk beds are placed in each room, with a side passage for two people to walk between the beds.

The mother holding a several-month-old baby walked back and forth to coax the child in her arms. Several old men gathered around a bed and played chess. The mother-in-law talked about interesting things that had happened recently. The three children shuttled among the noisy streets. Among the crowd, he climbed up the stairs and came to his bed.

Tian's mother and Tian's father were packing their luggage. The aunt who was lying next to her helped her stuff her clothes into a bag. She looked envious and said, "You guys are really capable. In just a few months, you not only reclaimed three acres of wasteland, but also built a house." It's all built." Mother

Tian covered her mouth with a smile on her face: "It's built entirely with thatch and mud. In five days, no one will be allowed to live in the shelter. If you don't build it yourself, you will have to rent a house."

The government had reminded the people at the shelter a month ago that the shops could not continue to provide for the victims. They were owned by the owner, and housing them was an act of benevolence. When the time came, they would be taken back.

Disaster victims like the Tian family who are able to build their own houses, while those who are unable to build their own houses have another option, renting a house in the county.

Thanks to Ying Ping's previous fortifications, the victims had some spare money.

The aunt who was helping had a frown on her face: "You can't live as comfortably in a rented house as in your own farm. This person still needs to have some skills, like yours, who can build a house. Even if the county government doesn't have any new fortifications, he can take on other work during this time." , can support the five of you."

Tian Mu said: "I heard that our living square is about to start paving stone, and we will definitely recruit workers. Please pay more attention to the notice at the gate of the county government."

"Hey." The woman was overjoyed when she got the reminder.

There weren't many things that the Tian family could bring, and they were all packed up in a short while. Tian Shu looked at Tian's mother longingly: "Mom, will we come again in the future? I can't bear to leave Little Niba and the others."

"Come when you have time." Their house is tight. It was built next to the newly opened fields. There was no wasteland for them to cultivate nearby. If they wanted land, they had to go farther.

The woman followed them reluctantly. During this period of time together, the relationship between the two of them became deeper and deeper. It was more real than the previous neighbors in their hometown. Tian's mother held the woman's hand

and said: " Our two families chose a farm in the same village that day. If you want to build a house in the future, it should be next to our house. The land has good feng shui."

When I was going out, I met another woman carrying a big bag. Xiao Bao, they know this woman. Her son was selected by the county government to work in the government. I heard that he can receive a generous salary every month, but it is quite hard. It is still dark every morning, rain or shine. He ran with the yamen servant behind him and lost a lot of weight.

The two sides greeted each other, and when they stepped out of the door, they both stopped.

"What's wrong, mother?"

"Master Lu is here."

Magistrate Lu is Ying Ping's spiritual support. Once the news of his coming to the storage room spread, everyone in the shop stopped whatever they were doing.

The new grass is thin and the willows are thin, the black soil is clear and the river is clear. The fresh air brought by the warm sun is mixed with a trace of unusual smell, a bit like wet sweat, with a bit of pine.

Lu Jiu'an strode in front, followed by several carriages of luggage. The living square is still covered with hard soil, and the government officials escorted the carriages as they passed by, leaving several deep ruts.

"My son." The woman next to Tian's mother suddenly called in the direction of the visitor.

There was a government official behind the carriage who heard the sound and looked over. He obeyed the order and only nodded slightly.

Lu Jiuan came to the Life Plaza today for no other reason. The people here will move out one after another in five days. One is to express condolences, and the other is to encourage farmers.

"Folks. Common people." Lu Jiu'an clapped his hands, and when everyone gathered around, he said loudly: "I'm here to distribute grain seeds to you today."

When Lu Jiu'an was reading official documents in the house, he found farmer Shen Zhi A report was submitted by the manned record keeper and it was realized that rice would be sown in a month.

When Lu Jiu'an resettled the refugees and encouraged them to open up new lands, he had planned to provide grain seeds in the coming year, but it was not free, but in the form of leasing.

"Today you can withdraw the grain in advance and return it with the same weight when the autumn harvest comes."

The people who are still staying in the storage center have already settled in Ying Ping'an's family. Most of them are or The fields were more or less plowed and prepared for cultivation of food.

They were still worried about this. If they farmed, they would have to spend part of their money to buy grain seeds. Grain seeds are the fullest and largest grains of good ears selected from the harvest of rice, and the price is not cheap.

The news brought by Lu Jiu'an was like giving someone timely help. Someone called out with tears in his eyes: "Master Qingtian."

The crowd lined up and began to register their names to receive grain seeds.

"Can I get five kilograms of grain seeds?" A big man asked greedily, rolling his eyes.

"What's your name?" The subordinate in charge saw what he was thinking and asked, flipping through the book in his hand.

The big man's face was filled with joy and he reported his name in a flattering manner. The subordinate quickly found the corresponding information: "Your family has only cultivated a total of 30 acres of land, and can only receive 2 kilograms of grain seeds at most. I don't want to receive grain seeds." The amount you can receive depends on how many acres of land you have in your name, and the maximum amount will be allocated based on the area of ​​reclaimed land. "

The wasteland reclaimed by the people needs to be measured by the county government, and the land number, name of the land owner, and area will be assigned. The land grade, land grade, etc. are registered in detail on the fish scale atlas. Finally, the shape is drawn into a map, which is very similar to the modern land parcel certificate.

"Why?" the big man yelled, "can't I plant more species in my field?"

The crisp bird was singing, and the crowd was in a commotion.

Lu Jiu'an sat next to him and said, "No, old man, if you plant too much on one piece of land, it won't grow well. It will fall down easily when it matures. The gain outweighs the loss."

Lu Jiu'an had seen this kind of people a lot, so he stopped him with a considerate and caring word.

The people lined up behind him would not give him any face. They pointed at the shameless man and scolded him: "You scoundrel, you only get so much for one acre of land. Don't think we don't know what your plans are. Just know how to bully our magistrate Lu Daren. Don't wait any longer. Get away quickly."

The big man became the target of public criticism and did not dare to delay. He took two kilograms of his own grain and ran away.

When they came to Tian's mother and father, they didn't leave in a hurry. They took the children and knelt down together, and kowtowed to Lu Jiu'an three times.

Lu Jiu'an quickly helped her up: "It's just a little grain. You have to pay back the autumn harvest. How can I pay it back?"

Tian Mu's eyes filled with tears and she shook her head: "It's not because of this, Mr. Lu, the common people just thank you for your righteousness before." Hold your hand, without you, the three children of the grassroots would be nowhere to be found."

Lu Jiu'an looked at her for a moment and remembered the scene of selling the children: "Ah, it was that day..."

He caressed the three children like a kind elder. The child's head: "Well, it seems that he has eaten well and his face is a little rounder."

The three children knew that he was the county magistrate, but they were not afraid of him. Tian's mother often nagged in their ears: "County Magistrate Lu is the heavenly magistrate ." Gods who came to earth, without him, there would be no you. Remember, we must repay Magistrate Lu well in the future."

They were influenced by this, and they felt a sense of respect and admiration for Lu Jiu'an, so they saw his gentleness and tranquility. When he touched her head again, she felt that her whole heart was soaking in the hot spring, feeling extremely warm and happy: "Lu... Master Lu."

Lu Jiu'an pointed to Tian Mu's luggage: "Are you moving now? Where do you live?"

Tian's mother answered one by one, and Tian Shu said: "Mom said that we live far away, and I will never see Mr. Lu again. I will miss you."

Tian's mother scolded: "You kid, say that. What? Magistrate Lu...

said, "Tong Yan Wuji, but it won't be long before you see me again. Do you want to study?

" Tian Shu replied crisply: "My father said that if you study, you can become an official, like Mr. Lu, and benefit the people."

Lu Jiu'an raised his little finger: "Then it's agreed that Yingping will run a school in the future, but you have to come to study. Oh ."

Tian's father said: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, the common people will send Tian Shu to study."

Lu Jiu'an said, "You don't have to sell things, just bring your children to register. " "Bring the little girl with you."

Because the information was registered in detail in the early stage, today's work efficiency was very high. Several carts of grain were distributed in less than half an hour. Lu Jiu'an was very satisfied: "I hope you will get one today." A grain of millet can turn into ten thousand seeds for the autumn harvest. "

Ming law, promotion of talents, emphasis on farming, water conservancy, and education. "

This is his general plan to govern Yingping and improve people's livelihood.

Five days later, all the residents of the shelter were evacuated. Lu Jiuan kept his promise and erected a commemorative stone tablet in front of the living square to commemorate the refugee shelter. He also personally wrote a eulogy to record everything that happened after the establishment of the shop. Praise the shop owners for their noble and honorable actions in helping those in need and helping those in need.

Chapter 070

Since the people in the refugee shelter have moved out collectively, the construction of the living square must be quickly put on the agenda.

If the handover was delayed for a while longer, Lu Jiu'an was afraid that the owners of the other three shops would become determined.

The floor of the living square is laid with bluestone tiles according to the preliminary design. During the process, Lu Jiuan planned to replace it with a cement floor, but then he thought about it. Such a large area of ​​​​a square is poured with gray concrete. Even if it is not beautiful, the quality may not meet the requirements.

It would be ridiculous if people from other counties saw the pits on the paved floor.

Xie Sui Qian was like a cat that smelled something fishy, ​​coming to the door the next day with a bulging package.

He spread out the package, and all kinds of rare treasures shone with colorful light: "Mr. Lu, these are all interesting things I have collected in recent years. I hope you will accept them."

Lu Jiuan did not accept it and habitually turned the items in his hands. Pen, looked at him with interest: "

Mr. All directions are heard, and any disturbance cannot be easily ignored." Lu Jiu'an laughed and asked, "I wonder

what Mr. Xie is doing." If others don't know what his temper is, how can he not know it? Play clever with him? That is Guan Gong playing a big sword in front of him and not overestimating his own abilities.

In the end, I'm afraid I was deceived and lost all my money. Xie Suiqian simply said: "Mr. Lu, let me tell you the truth. I came here uninvited because I heard that you plan to build a display board in the Life Plaza to display Yingping's daily interesting things for people to watch. "

Lu Jiu'an nodded: "It is true. Not only the interesting things about Ying Ping, but also any strange news and happenings in various places in the Zhou Dynasty will be displayed on it. In this way, Ying Ping can be informed. Having more conversational skills among ordinary people can also increase their knowledge and kill two birds with one stone, so as to avoid being said by outsiders that we should be ignorant and ignorant. "

This is also one of Lu Jiu'an's plans. In addition to running a school, there is a plan. Post daily news. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient. Since you can't travel thousands of miles, you can read thousands of books. Xie Suiqian 's eyes shone with a strange light: "Master Lu, if you are brave, can you find an advertising space?" The little grown-up wonders if he has any weird ideas in his mind.

As long as he follows his steps closely, one day the Xie family will be famous. Not in Yingping, not in Jiangzhou, but in the entire Zhou Dynasty! Ying Ping is on the rise. This unknown place, with no obvious mountains and rivers, will definitely make a great turnaround under the leadership of Lu Jiu'an! He had such a strong premonition in his heart. Therefore, no matter what the price is, no matter how much risk he takes, he must firmly seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At this moment, Lu Jiu'an sighed in annoyance and put down the pen in his hand.

The alloy material of the pen made a crisp sound on the pear table, and the sun flashed across the black pen body. Xie Sui Qian was slightly lifted up in his heart, like a patient waiting for the doctor's trial, and he asked carefully: "Mr. Lu, if you have any requests, just ask." Lu Jiuzhan pretended to be regretful and said: "I want Xie The master is disappointed. I have indeed set up advertising space. I originally planned to announce it to all merchants in Yingping on the day it is completed. Unexpectedly, you have planned something ahead and come to me in advance. However, I cannot give it to you directly. I will have to wait for the number to be rolled out. "

Xie Suiqian has become a mature man, and he has benefited from it a few times. I heard that the sales volume of the properties under his name doubled. Although it benefited from the increase in population during this period, the advertisements for building shops and the good reputation of the homeless shelter gave him a good reputation. A lot of potential. With many years of experience, Xie Suiqian keenly sensed the business opportunities and knew that he could make a profit here. In order to lay the foundation for the future, he actually wanted to make a one-time deal and tie it down directly. Lu Jiu'an had to praise him for his wise words.

If he hadn't been from the perspective of the county magistrate and looked at him with such vicious eyes, Lu Jiu'an might have agreed. "I don't know what rolling numbering means." "Rolling replacement of advertising slots within one month." Rolling replacement every month? Wouldn't that mean there will be bidding every month? You can imagine how intense the competition will be by then. Xie Sui Qian pushed the package forward, and Lu Jiuan shook his head: "Mr. Xie, I work on behalf of the Tian family, and the court will pay me a salary. A gentleman loves money in a proper way, so there is no need for Xie to spend money. "Yes." Xie Suiqian's wishful thinking failed, and he was inevitably disappointed. Looking at Lu Jiu'an, who looked sincere and innocent, he could only sigh helplessly: What a good plan. Randomly, he thought of his unlucky little son, who clearly had the bargaining chip, but somehow he was so stupid that he was willing to be deceived into his house by Lu Jiu'an. The son is useless. If he had known earlier that Xie Huailiang's heretics could win the favor of the county magistrate... a lot of money can't buy it. He would have known it earlier. Xie Suiqian had just left when there was a knock on the door.

Lu Jiuan looked up and saw that it was Mu Lin: "Hey, did you know you knocked on the door?" Mu Lin was wearing a swaggering burgundy brocade robe. It had just entered spring. He was holding the gun in his left hand. Gu Yue's fan is always with her, holding a wine gourd in her right hand, making her look like a romantic dandy. "If I don't knock on the door, I'm afraid I'll be bullied by Mr. Lu. After all, Mr. Lu is already in his prime, and his little mouth has been kissed. How can I dare to offend the person who was sealed and escorted by General Han?" Mu Lin didn't mention any pot . , Lu Jiuan was not angry after hearing this, and even poured him a cup of tea himself. "I have to drink the tea that Mr. Lu condescended to pour. I have to drink it anyway." Mu Lin raised the cup to his mouth. He just took a sip and frowned: "Why is it cold... Oh, cold tea, Lu Jiu'an, you are like this The way of driving away guests is really special." "Mr. Mu Xiaohou comes from a noble family. If you give me a hundred courages, I wouldn't dare to chase you away," Lu Jiu'an retorted. Mu Lin lay down carelessly on the soft couch in his study room. Oh, it should be called a lazy couch now. As soon as he lay down, his whole body sank in, as if he were wrapped in balls of goose down. All the muscles and bones in his body relaxed and he fell into a drowsy state. Lu Jiu'an, everything in my hometown, seems to be tailor-made for him. "Is there anything else that you, Lu Jiu'an, don't dare to do?" Mu Lin stretched out comfortably: "I just heard the new year's money coming, and I heard it outside the house, and started to cheat again?" Lu Jiu'an's eyes curled up with an innocent look .

The arc: "Master Mu Xiaohou, what you said is really ugly. How can you call it cheating? As the county magistrate, I must prevent these big merchants from monopolizing the market." Mu Lin took off the lid of the gourd and took a peck. "To put it so grandly, the purpose of preventing monopoly is just to bite more meat. As a county magistrate, you use everything to the best of your ability. This is the first time I have seen it in my life." Lu Jiuan Frowning, she reached out and snatched the gourd from his hand: "Mu Lin, you are so young, why are you so addicted to alcohol? Drink less, it will hurt your stomach and body." Mu Lin covered his eyes with his burgundy sleeves and muttered in a low voice: "And he said he was timid..." Lu Jiu'an locked the wine gourd in the drawer with a clang: "You must have something serious to tell me when you come today."

Mu Lin turned his head, and his voice was buried in the sofa, making it hard to hear: "I'm here to say goodbye to you. I'm going on a long trip."

He and Mu Lin had a nondescript relationship, and they always quarreled when they met. The feelings are getting deeper and deeper day by day. If I have to describe it, a modern word is just right: harming friends.

Lu Jiuan was stunned: "Are you leaving too?"

The people he met that day left one by one, and he felt really sad for spring and autumn. It seemed that even the sunlight coming in from the window was colder.

"Ha, look at your expression. It's not like I want to say goodbye forever, and I'm not leaving Yingping either. When I was wandering around a few days ago, I heard that walking into the deep mountains of Yingping, there are rolling snow-capped mountains in an inaccessible place. It's so spectacular. It's already spring, and there's still snow. I want to see what the snow scene is like on the mountain. "

...

Lu Jiu'an was speechless, wishing he could go back a few seconds and bury his sentimental self underground.

"The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the blue sky, and the snowy road is even more difficult to walk. I don't trust you if you go alone."

Mu Lin disagreed: "I can just watch from a distance. If I don't go up, it won't look good up close, so I still have to keep a distance. "

The great rivers and mountains of the motherland really need to be explored, but you can't go there alone like this. Lu Jiu'an felt helpless. How could such a good-looking nobleman from the royal family have such an adventurous heart and want to be a mountaineer?

Lu Jiu'an murmured: "Traveling on a budget is still very tiring. I have prepared people and horses, warm supplies and some dry food for you. Generally, altitude sickness will occur at high altitudes. If anyone in your convoy has symptoms of difficulty breathing, call them immediately." Stop and don't do strenuous exercise. Severe high reflexes can cause shock. Don't be careless. Do you hear me?"

Mu Lin didn't care whether he understood what Lu Jiuan said. unfamiliar words, nodding constantly.

The coachman raised his whip and let out a soft whistle to prepare for departure. Lu Jiuan suddenly pressed down on the carriage and shouted: "Wait a minute, I remembered something, don't leave yet, wait for me to come."

Lu Jiuan ran all the way back to the office and clicked on the computer The travel folder.

The content of this program is based on Xu Xiake's life experience of traveling north and south of the Yangtze River and writing "Xu Xiake's Travels". It tells the story of human beings' continuous exploration from ancient times to the present, and their footprints have spread from all over China to the world, and then into the universe.

Naturally, this file contains a scanned copy of the book "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes". This book is an investigation record written by Xu Xiake in the style of diary and prose during his half-life travels. It not only contains descriptions of the rocky landforms of various places, but also the local customs and customs. The records are detailed and true in content, the words are beautiful and gorgeous, and the different landscapes and rivers are vividly displayed on the paper.

The energy value used in this book is quite a lot. Lu Jiuan gritted his teeth, looked at the few remaining values, and clicked to print.

The travel folder is of course not only the book Xu Xiake's Travel Notes, but also uses many other travel materials from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

He calculated the energy value and carefully selected it on the computer. He saw a wilderness survival guide book and printed it out.

The wilderness survival guide contained a lot of modern equipment. Lu Jiuan browsed through it briefly. Time was running out, so he took out a few copies of the content that Mu Lin and his party could use and put them aside.

Then he picked up the printed copy of Xu Xiake's travel notes and also took out part of the paper.

The names of the landforms and places in "Xu Xiake's Travels" were not found in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Lu Jiu'an was afraid that Mu Lin would see the clues and it would be difficult to fool him when asked, so he couldn't give him the whole book.

Lu Jiu'an put the two contents together and made a hasty seal.

Lu Jiu'an walked around the office and focused on the solar flashlight, which had an energy value of 30,000.

Forget it, not to mention that he doesn't have enough energy now. Even if it is unlocked, this thing cannot be given away. If it is a compass, there will be no problem, but it is a pity that he does not have it in his office.

Mu Lin was already impatient with waiting. Seeing the sun in his head, Lu Jiuan ran over panting and threw the things in his hands at him.

Mu Lindu copied it with his hands, and his face turned green with anger: "I've been waiting for you for so long, why did you give me a box of pens, ink, paper, inkstones and a book?"

Lu Jiu'an blinked mysteriously: "I'm afraid you're on the way. I'll give you a book to comfort you when you're lonely. The interesting things in the book are all your favorites. Remember to read them."

Mu Lin sat back with a stinking look on her face: "I originally wanted to be simple and easy, but now you've put so much pressure on me."

Lu Jiuan gave away his things and chased him away like garbage: "Go quickly, leave early, and come back early."

Lu Jiuan spent so much time, paid for it, and had to worry about his life, so he just hoped Use travel notes to inspire Mu Lin, so that the idle Mu Xiaohou Ye can at least give him something in return when he travels around.
