However, the old man's worries did not come to pass. They were very peaceful that night, and there was not even a shadow of a water bird, so they slept until dawn. There were many bandits on the river, so the two of them did not stay in one place.

Instead, we continued to sail along the current, and it took about three or four days before we finally reached the shore.

"Sir, we have left Huaiyi here, so there is no need to worry too much. The government affairs should not involve too much, just head towards the city." The old man pulled the boat to the shore and faced Feiling.

He smiled and gave two instructions before leaving.

He had just used the oar to leave, but he didn't want Fei Ling to yell at him, so he turned around and looked at the person in confusion.

"Wait a minute, old man." Fei Ling stretched out his hand and made a slow movement, took two steps forward to the riverside, looked around to see if there was anything valuable around him, but there was nothing else, only the hook on his waist.

The ornament was considered valuable and was made of two pieces of fine mutton-fat white jade, so he pulled off the hook of his jade belt and handed it over.

The old man was also stunned when he saw it, then he raised his eyes and looked towards Fei Ling, waved his hands repeatedly and said: "You can't do it, you can't do it. I'm an old man wondering how I can accept such a great gift just because I gave you a ride."

?”

He looked at the jade belt hook and it didn't look like a cheap item. He was afraid that this thing could be exchanged for a hundred and ten taels of silver. He just happened to give someone a ride, how could he deserve such a huge reward?

, I really didn’t dare to pick it up, so I tried to shirk it again and again.

Fei Ling saw that he had taken the jade belt hook for a long time without giving it away, so he opened his mouth to persuade him: "Old man, you are also a kind-hearted person. If the jade hook is torn off, you can't put it back. This thing is nothing."

"You are in need of something at your age. Find a stable place and don't live on the river. It's not safe."

What Fei Ling said was true. The old man was a little moved when he thought that he was on the river in fear every day. Seeing that Fei Ling really wanted to give it to him sincerely, he stretched out his hand and took it.

After thanking him twice, he headed towards the river again.

But Fei Ling, who had no jade belt, found it difficult to wear the two holes on it. He is a person who always likes to be neat and tidy, and this is not a time when he is about to go into battle in the army and can't care about other things. How can he be asked to do this?

Going to the city in a disheveled manner? Thinking of this, he pulled a pampas grass and pushed it through the hole, temporarily serving as a jade hook, and then headed towards the city.

An uprising on one side will naturally affect many parties. Even far away from the south, there is a tense atmosphere everywhere. There are very few vendors on the street and pedestrians are passing by in a hurry. Only some brave men will still be there.

At the noodle stall, he told me some news that he didn’t know where he got.

Fei Ling took out his own money and found that he didn't even have any money at all. Even the only jade belt hook he had given away, he could be considered poor. He took a look at the pretty good clothes he was wearing.

, it was the first time I thought of pawning my clothes, but I still endured it and stood at the joint thinking about how to live my life.

"I heard no, it seems that the Zhang family said earlier that they wanted to find a martial arts master to teach their son the kung fu. When other families heard about it, they also rushed to say that they wanted to learn together. I heard that it was because of the troubled times.

Those who have money are closely watched, and those who don’t put in the effort may lose both their money and their lives.”

Just when Fei Ling was still thinking about where to find some work that could temporarily earn some money, he heard someone talking next to him, thinking that the two siblings he had rescued before were probably this rich.

Coming from a gentry background, the master of the Zhang Mansion was indeed a forward-thinking man, so he thought about it and walked towards that place.

The Zhang family was originally from a noble family, but there were few officials in the family, so they gradually became a wealthy gentry with many shops. They were considered to be prominent people in Qugao, and that was the Yamen Zhizhou.

, and it would not be disrespectful, but it is unclear whether there was any money or whether there was any connection.

At the same time, the rebel army in the south became more and more powerful. Even the soldiers sent by the court before were unable to resist it. In addition, there were many people who defected before the battle, so they became more and more out of control.

In just a few months, this rebel army has developed into one of the largest and most difficult armies in the south. In addition, the Sun family is already a wealthy family and has sufficient food and grass.

The situation was so great that a protracted tug-of-war began with the imperial court.

And the Yiling Sun family began to slowly recruit capable people and generals from all over the world. As long as they could catch the attention of the Sun family, they could become staff members. Suddenly, a large number of people came to Yiling.

He left everywhere, forcing the court into an unprecedented dilemma.

"They are all rubbish. They can't handle this matter well. Why don't you come back and tell me these useless words? And how did the general who put down the chaos follow me? Why are these people just a mob?

Even if you don’t fight, you’ll be so scared that you’ll run away, which makes me feel relieved! Is this what makes me feel relieved?”

The chamberlain followed the emperor, and saw that the fold that had just been handed over was thrown out, and was about to fall on the glass cup on the table. His heart trembled for a while, and he was about to step forward.

When I stopped, I heard Eunuch Liu shouting outside.

"The Queen Mother has arrived..."

Eunuch Liu is an old man who has been serving the Queen Mother. He was also a man who saw big storms back then. Speaking of this sinister and vicious man, he can be regarded as the number one person next to the Queen Mother. Thinking of this, Dongrong's legs felt a little weak, and he

I don’t know what the Queen Mother and Eunuch Liu are going to do today.

The current emperor was only just reaching the age of his crown, and the Queen Mother was in her prime. She wore the big phoenix on her head, with several blood-red gemstones on her eyes, which looked lifelike and extremely delicate and majestic.

, also wearing armor made of white jade on his hands, walking leisurely and unhurriedly, looking from a distance he couldn't help but admire his majesty and magnificence.

"What are these? Good cups, but the foreign vassals just came in the year before last, and there are only three of them in total. If you are angry, just throw them at these eunuchs and maids. What are you doing with the things?" Queen Mother Xue just said

When he entered the door, he saw his son holding a glass cup and was about to throw it, so he made a sound.

It's just that although these words sounded harsh, they came out of her mouth with a hint of coaxing. In addition, her voice was naturally soft and waxy, so I couldn't tell what was wrong with it. It was probably the same as the late emperor's.

It is because of this that I love her very much, but I don't want her to be disrupted by her relatives one day.

After saying this, Dong Rong tightened his hands in fear, and knelt down directly to apologize. However, Queen Mother Xue was too lazy to look at him, and even ignored him. Eunuch Liu next to her gave him a wink, and then

He stood up and stood back up again, but the cold sweat on his body still wet the clothes behind him, and he felt a little shivering when the wind blew.

"Queen Mother, why are you here?" The emperor felt a little embarrassed when he saw his mother coming. When he heard these words, he put down the glass cup in his hand, turned around and went towards the Queen Mother, and even pulled her when he came.

Queen Mother Xue shook her sleeves, showing a childlike attitude.

Queen Mother Xue laughed when she saw the emperor like this. She pointed to the glass cup and said, "I heard that you lost your temper in this palace. I was afraid that they would make you unhappy, so I came over to take a look. Sure enough, you are like this."

You really can't suffer any loss if you are short-tempered. If you are a little late, I'm afraid the cup will turn into crumbs."

"Isn't it a problem with these people down there? Before I went there, I said this place was amazing. How amazing it was. I almost didn't say it was the God of War descending to earth. But now when it comes time to really fight with real guns and swords, there is not even a small rebel army.

If you can't defeat me, how can I not be angry?" When the emperor said this, he stretched out his foot and kicked the tea maid who was still kneeling next to him. Most of his words were angry and complaining.

The palace maid watched the bed attendant last night. She thought she could fly up a branch and turn into a phoenix, but she didn't expect that she was not as good as Dong Rong who was standing next to her. He kicked her in the stomach and it hurt her on the spot.

She gasped for air, but still held it back, but the fingers tightly clenching the tea tray could show how resentful and angry she felt at the moment.

How did Empress Dowager Xue not know about the person the emperor was talking about? She had just heard someone coming to report while she was still in the palace. She listened carefully to every word the emperor said in the palace, including who was being scolded.

Clearly, the general who put down the chaos was a cousin and nephew recommended by her brother. He was the same as her maternal cousin. How could he not help cover up a few words? Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Xue immediately rolled her eyes and patted her head.

The emperor's descendant smiled and opened his mouth to appease him.

"The rebel army is a big family in the south. They are all in the same spirit. When they are beaten, they will naturally be impatient and want to get a share of the pie. Even if they are beaten, they cannot be defeated in one time. You are here

Why is he so angry? It's just a memorial for you to do this for no reason, and I don't know who handed it to you. Such nonsense actually disturbs your mind."

When Empress Dowager Xue said this, she kept staring at the memorial that had been thrown on the ground, and the cold light in her eyes became more and more intense. Dong Rong saw it and thought to herself that it was probably the person who handed the memorial.

The throne was about to suffer. Eunuch Liu was worthy of being the one who followed the Queen Mother, so he didn’t understand what the Queen Mother was thinking. So he stepped forward to pick up the folding book, put it directly into his sleeve, and then stood up again.

go back.

The emperor didn't care about this at all. He was slapped twice by the queen, and he was no longer so angry. He laughed out loud, hugged Queen Mother Xue's sleeves and said: "What the queen said is true, so I won't say it."

These are all disappointing things. Didn’t you hear that my uncle’s sister Ming’er is pretty? Why don’t you come to the palace to meet her?”
