After working for a long time, Chen Changcang cooked a pot of white porridge with only a handful of brown rice and wild vegetables such as Ma Chimi. At this time, a little light as big as a bean star was lit. Yan Xiu stared at the porridge that could illuminate the figure, his eyes were like a hungry wolf. As soon as he took the porridge bowl, he made a sound of snoring and drinking porridge.

Chen Chang squatted down beside Yan Xiu. This was the first meal and the last one of the days.

The clay pot containing the grain was already at its bottom, and there were no brown rice, only dozens of pointed rat shit left.

Chen Chang drank the steaming wild vegetable porridge. Although the soup was light and watery, it still had a sweet taste in his mouth.

"Ahon, let's serve you another bowl."

"Hey", Yan Xiu handed over the empty bowl, as if he was savoring the smell of the wild vegetable porridge, but his body was shaking slightly, and turbid tears fell.

When Chen Chang went to serve the porridge, Yan Xiu turned his head aside and quietly wiped his tears with his robe sleeve. Then he saw Yan Qianshi licking the porridge bowl, and his brows frowned.

Singer Chen brought a bowl of porridge full of food to Yan Xiu. In his heart, the two old and young people who had nothing to do with him were now like his relatives.

There was also the manly girl whom I didn't know clearly, and she clearly took advantage of her power. She must have known this, but she never pointed it out from beginning to end. When he returned the waist card to her, it seemed that she had already known that she had asked for her. When Chen Chang recalled it now, she still felt like she was dreaming.

At that time, she only said one sentence: "Lead the way forward!"

"Well……"

There is no hesitation or drag.

Is she the one who cares about herself?

There is also the woman who had an engagement with him in Jiangling.

Suddenly, he felt that he was not alone, and he was still caring about him in this world.

If you want to accomplish something, you must first be confident; if you want to defeat others, you must first defeat yourself!

Before he knew it, Chen Chang's heart was filled with a sense of pride.

But soon he returned to reality.

After becoming rich, Chen Chang of modern times was also a big boss with billions of assets.

It can be said that the housing is endless, the cars are luxurious, the dishes are exquisite, the clothes are exquisite, the clothes are exquisite, the hotel is exquisite, the food is elegant, the food is high-end hotel, the food is delicious, the wine is delicious, the wine is drunk, the wine is drunk, the high-end guild hall is happy, the high-end sports venue is endless, the night is singing among the famous mountains and rivers, and the life is drunk and dreaming of death in the exotic style...

But now, eating has become a problem, and I feel sad when I think about it.

Compared to Chen Sing, who only thinks about food and clothing, Mr. Yan Xiu's awareness is much higher. He took a sip of porridge and said, "Qilang, you are young and should learn more about the scriptures."

Put down the porridge bowl, bowed his hand towards Jiankang, and continued: "At that time, Emperor Gaozu opened the Five Pavilions and Jianguo Studies. He was the professor of the Five Classics and appointed assistant teachers from each. He was the Mingshanbin of Pingyuan, Lu Lian of Wujun, Shen Jun of Wuxing, Yan Zhizhi of Jianping, and the doctoral degree in Kuaiji Hechang, each of which was the main hall, and there were hundreds of students.

Confucian scholars are encouraged to study and study the classics, and those who are well-known in the classics will give them food, and they will be dismissed as officials. For more than ten years, those who have been writing scriptures and books will be said to have met..."

Chen Chang held the porridge bowl and looked at the old man Yan who was talking endlessly, with a very focused expression.

Yan Xiu saw that he heard it seriously and said, "Do you know?"

Chen Chang shook his head.

"I don't learn anything without learning!" Old Man Yan glared at him, "I have the old system in my dynasty. After the plan is in fact, we will choose the following numbers. Although we are the ones who can understand the classics and do not have any skills, we will choose the following numbers. Although we are born in a poor family, we will try our best to be separated from each other... Although you are from a poor family, you are not without chance. As the saying goes, the officials are clear to others, how can you be limited to the Ar tribe?"

Chen Chang roughly understood what Old Man Yan said. Emperor Wu of Liang used Confucianism as the standard for selecting scholars, which to a certain extent broke the concept of family status at that time, and allowed poor families to obtain certain guarantees in enrolling in school and taking official positions to enter the officialdom. Later, Liang inherited his old system, which means that the great young man he possessed still had the opportunity to select scholars.

Chen Chang sighed. The Southern Liang Dynasty was a good era. He used Confucianism to test the scholars, tried to downplay his background, and promoted the formation of the social trend of respecting Confucianism.

But now, he is his own conspiracy: it is useless for Old Man Yan to say that it is useless. Xiao Yan's Nanliang had long been destroyed. Now Houliang is only a state, and the cost-effectiveness of being an official is not high. If you want to go, you have to go to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. At this time, it is only twenty years before Yang Jian's reign on Zhou and Sui Dynasty. It is better to have a good relationship with Yang Zhong, Yang Jian and his son, and maybe you can still earn the merit of following the dragon.

Besides, who doesn’t know that this classic is extremely boring? Even if you have a long hair, you may not be able to dig into one of the classics and waste any effort.

Chen Chang is still a typical businessman's mind, and he will not do anything that loses money.

"Do you know?"

Chen Chang shook his head again.

"If you have any questions, I will answer your questions."

"Then I'll just say it."

Old man Yan twisted his beard with his hands and looked at Chen Chang with expectant eyes: "Well, just tell me!"

“What to eat tomorrow morning?”

Old man Yan really wanted to smash the porridge bowl on Chen Chang's face!

...

The clouds and rain stopped, and the surroundings of Yangjiadu were pitch black, with no stars. They couldn't see their five fingers, making them look a little cold and terrifying.

Two black shadows wearing straw raincoats walked side by side on the path leading to Yangjiadu. The path under her feet was muddy, and every step she took was making a slap sound. The juē on her feet seemed to be trapped in at any time.

One of the yellow-faced men wiped the sweat and rain from their faces, looked at the lights in the direction of Yangjiadu, and whispered: "Tian Hu, Yangjiadu is ahead, and not far from Yangjiadu is the riverside. Your Highness and the Master Zhou Magistrate have not arrived yet, and you and my brother will stay at Yangjiadu tonight."

The man named Tian Hu said, "Subor...oh, no, little brother... I obey my brother's arrangements in everything."

The yellow-faced man smiled faintly: "It's really hard for you to sleep outside Jiangling City during this period. What's the matter I asked you to inquire about?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

It turned out that both of them pretended to be businessmen, and they had just met not long ago. They had not talked too much. It was getting darker and darker. I guess they would not meet anyone on such a path, so the two of them started talking.

Tian Hu said: "Brother, I followed your instructions and went south to Jiangling and found out about the news. Although the person who came from the east had only passed by Jiangling and had not stayed too much, I still found some things by me."

When he said this, he was obviously very proud of his achievements, so he looked a little proud.

The yellow-faced man handed him the wine gourd on his body. Tian Hu took a sip and moistened his throat, then said, "I will talk about Houliang's attitude first. The emperor Xiao Xu heard that His Highness was going to set off from Anlu and go down to Jiankang through Jiangling and going down the river.

Therefore, during this period, a large number of yamen runners were sent to set up chucks on important towns, passes and water and land transportation lines. Many bandits and river bandits and thieves were arrested one after another. At the same time, some soldiers were sent to the mountains to suppress the bandits and quell the bandits along the river."

The yellow-faced man frowned and said, "There are many bandits around Jiangling, which is not a short-term trend. It is not easy to wipe out one stone."

Tian Hu nodded and said, "That's right! I heard that there was a bandit's village based on a large slope. It was more than two miles away. It was inserted into the river from the slope. The trees were all one foot in diameter and buried deep in soil. When they met trees, they would run across the columns. Three layers of trenches were dug out of the outside, and there were many branches lying across the trenches. The branches were sharp and outwardly, and they were called wooden signs."

The yellow-faced man said, "This village is very well guarded, and I believe the Liang army will attack it with a chariot."

Tian Hu said in surprise: "I really guessed it. But the stone encountered a wooden yoke hole, but the junction did not collapse, and it would be repaired if it was broken. The stone attack failed. Then, the Liang army prepared dozens of ropes, tied iron hooks to the end, and recruited suicide soldiers to hook the junction at night, and dragged the ropes with hundreds of people, trying to break the junction. The thief army found that the long rope was cut off, and this plan would not work."

The yellow-faced man smiled and said, "In this way, there will be only fire attack."

Tian Hu nodded: "That's right! Liang's army first made a defensive crossbow arrow, and one card could cover more than ten people. They carried the cards forward, and more than ten people followed with firewood and a bunch of fire. Dozens of cards were raised at the same time, like a wall, pulled out the wooden sign, crossed the deep trench, and went to the village to burn fire. Unexpectedly, the northwest wind suddenly rose, and the wood was wet and did not burn, and the fire burned towards Liang's army, so they had to retreat.

The next night, the thief fruit suddenly caught fire, and the bandits were shocked. The Liang army was waiting for the blade to break, and rushed in and slashed. However, the fire on the thief was extinguished soon after it passed, and the Liang army had no choice but to do anything. After hearing the report, Xiao Xu felt that the situation was not good. Knowing the situation of the thief, he stood firmly at the thief village and it was difficult to conquer it, so he ordered to withdraw his troops."

The yellow-faced man pondered for a moment before saying, "Even if he failed to take advantage of the victory and sweep the cave, he still allowed the bandits to restrain him a lot. It is a good thing for His Highness's safety. Well, I know this. What about the other situation?"

Tian Hu smiled slightly and said confidently: "One day I pretended to be a vendor selling wine and food. The same team of Houliang caravans from Yecheng had dealt with them. When they heard them complaining after drinking, someone asked them about the situation of His Highness on the way back to Jiangling. Naturally, these merchants didn't know. Unexpectedly, those people were very angry before they got the news they wanted, and the two sides almost had a conflict."

The yellow-faced man was furious: "I didn't expect that the Northern Qi hand was so long. His Highness had just a few days from Anlu that they got the news. They were really well-informed..."

He suddenly remembered something and said strangely: "But... Your Highness is surrounded by us, and Captain Zhou is very careful and will definitely not reveal His Highness's whereabouts early. Could it be... Could it be that the person who came to pick us up leaked the news?"

Tian Hu said: "I am very confused about this and have spent time verifying this matter. However, after those spies from Northern Qi entered Jiangling, they could be broken into pieces, just like fish entering the sea, and they could no longer find traces."

The yellow-faced man said, "It would be great if Captain Zhou was in Jiangling at this time, and he would definitely find out."

Tian Hu said strangely: "Brother, why are you so sure? Is Captain Zhou very familiar with this place?"

The yellow-faced man said, "Uh... I don't know if he is familiar with him or not. However, I heard him say that he had saved someone back then. Later, he went to Jiangling to work as a businessman. Not only did the rich family tell me, but he also controlled many city foxes and club rats in Jiangling."

Tian Hu laughed and said, "Even if that's the case, he's just a merchant, how can he help? Brother is too proud of him?"

The yellow-faced man shook his head and said, "Even if you can't trust this merchant, what about Captain Zhou?"

Tian Hu immediately restrained his smile: "Of course I can trust it!"

The yellow-faced man said again: "Where is the man surnamed Hou?"

Tian Hu said: "After they arrived in Jiangling, one of them left the brigade and went up the river, missing."

Tian Hu didn't have many people around him, so he could only track the large group of people and had no time to clone him.

The yellow-faced man paused for a moment before he said angrily: "Hmph, as long as someone threatens the safety of Your Highness, no matter who this person is, I will kill him!"

The two walked hundreds of steps again, and the yellow-faced man looked up: "It seems like a fort in front of him, without lights, and it must have been abandoned. Let's go and take a look. Maybe we will live in this fort tonight!"

Tian Hu said excitedly: "Yes, our brothers still have wine and meat. After entering the fort, they took a good rest and relieve their fatigue."
