See you in the world

Chapter 168 Do something

The geographical location of Niujiao Town is in the south-central position of the hinterland of the Dali Dynasty. The war in the north can be said to be thousands of miles away from here.

But even so, this place is still shrouded in the shadow of war.

The most intuitive manifestation is that in just three days, food prices have doubled, and there is a continuous upward trend. Ordinary people may not understand the meaning of the fall of the master, nor can they really understand the cruelty of war. Something happened, and then I felt uneasy, so I wanted to stock up on more food. After all, I don’t panic when I have food in my hand.

Except for food, the prices of all items on the market are rising, but the increase is not as exaggerated as food.

It is also due to the popularity of farmyard manure in the past few years. People in the entire Dali Dynasty are gradually familiar with the benefits of farmyard manure. There will only be more and more food in the future. Otherwise, the price of food on the market will double under the shadow of war. It is also possible, this is only the beginning of the war...

There are still many scholars who take to the streets every day, talking and pointing out the country, wishing to stain the battlefield with blood.

For such people, Li Qiu scoffed. In his opinion, they are just a bunch of braggarts talking on paper. They can talk, but you should take action. What's the use of talking?

However, it is only natural for scholars to talk about state affairs, and the general public will not feel that there is anything wrong.

In addition, there are still many scholars who go to the yamen to block the door every day, demanding that the court avenge Mrs. Chen and give an explanation to the scholars of the world...

Tell me, sister, didn't you see that they went to war directly for Master Chen's dynasty?You guys have such kung fu, can you stop making trouble?
The government also has nothing to do with these scholars, they can't beat or scold them, and they have to accompany them with a smile in many cases, and his meowing is very annoying, in short, they are in a state of desperation.

This is just a small place in Niujiao Town. The other places have no idea how noisy it is. There is vague news that a large number of scholars gathered in several places to put pressure on the court...

After hearing the news, Li Qiu's evaluation is that the success is not enough, and the failure is more than failure, wishing to cut down a few to relieve his anger.

However, there is no way. Scholars must show that they are showing their integrity and showing their feelings for the country and the people. How do you think this kind of thing is going to happen.

There are quite a few similar situations, and every time he hears it, Li Qiu's brows will frown, and he can vaguely feel the taste of conspiracy.

How can it be possible to say that scholars are 'causing trouble' if there is no one who is afraid of chaos in the world?

Scholars have learned a lot of knowledge. Many times they are rational, but many times they are the most irrational. Just a reasonable idea can make them rush upwards like chicken blood, herd mentality, Or because the people around me are 'concerned about the country and the people', for the sake of face, it is unreasonable for me not to join.

Regarding the gathering of scholars, the dynasty has not yet come up with an effective control method. You say iron and blood suppression, what if the entire circle of scholars rebounds?If the country wants to stop, it will only make the chaos worse, but if you follow them, it will become more and more serious, and the whole egg will hurt.

There is no way for these things to happen. One hair will affect the whole body. After the war begins, these things are inevitable.

Fortunately, this kind of thing is still within the controllable range, so it is not a big problem, but as time goes by, no one knows what will happen.

Scholars, often causing troubles are more troublesome than a vicious murderer, because he is 'reasonable'...

None of these things affect the overall situation at present.

Every day, news about the border battlefield came. Niujiao Town was too far away from the battlefield. When the news came here, it was unknown how long it had happened.

On the first day when the Dali Dynasty declared war on the Dajiang Dynasty, 800,000 troops gathered at the border and sent 300,000 troops to fight against the opponent. The Dajiang Dynasty was already prepared to face it head-on.

The first large-scale frontal collision, the two sides fought for a day and a night, with nearly half of the casualties each!

In that battle, it can be said that blood flowed like rivers and bones, and how many men stayed in that land forever, the real Shura ground!
Neither of the two sides got a bargain, so Ming Jin withdrew his troops, cleaned up the battlefield and fought again in the future.

In the first battle, the Dali Dynasty failed to break through the border of the Dajiang Dynasty and go deep into the hinterland. This was a big blow to the Dali Dynasty who took the initiative to declare war, especially the blow to morale. To win a certain result, that is failure!

This made countless people in the Dali Dynasty realize that the other party is a hard bone, war, trouble!
After the first battle, in the days that followed, wars broke out between the two sides every day. More than a hundred thousand people participated in the war, and there were tens of thousands less. The war fell into a stalemate. This is not a good phenomenon.

However, more troublesome things followed. On the fifth day when the Dali Dynasty declared war on the Dajiang Dynasty, the Golden Wolf Dynasty declared war on the Dali Dynasty, and millions of Chen soldiers rushed to the border between the two sides. On the seventh day, the Sangluo Dynasty declared war on the Dali Dynasty. , Chen Bing 700,000 rushed to the border between the two sides!

So far, the Dali Dynasty has to face the pressure of war from three countries!
Obviously, the Dali Dynasty had expected this situation long ago, and immediately dispatched 800,000 troops to face the Golden Wolf Dynasty and the Sangluo Dynasty respectively.

By this time, there is no need to guess. Master Chen's downfall was definitely caused by the cooperation of those three countries. Otherwise, they would not have fought against the Dali Dynasty almost at the same time.

The war has only just begun, and the Dali Dynasty has already dispatched nearly 250 million troops. There are too many and the scale is too large, but it also shows how angry the Dali Dynasty is about the fall of Master Chen, almost from the very beginning. It's costly!

250 million, not 250, standing together, it is simply a sea of ​​people, the kind where you can't see the end at a glance.

God knows what will happen in such a large-scale battle, and how many people will come back alive in the end?

However, since the Dali Dynasty dared to declare war, it still had a certain amount of confidence. The source of confidence was that the popularity of farmyard manure in recent years had increased the country's grain production.

As long as there is food to feed the soldiers, the country can continue to fight.

Once a war is stalemate, what is fought is not the number of people, but the strength of the country. Whoever can't exhaust it first will fall into a land of eternal doom!
For half a month in a row, new news about the border battlefield came every day, and there were casualties in each.

The three countries in the north did not immediately suppress the soldiers at the same time. I am afraid that they are preparing to use the power of the three countries to kill the Dali Dynasty.

So far, the two sides have been restrained. They are all soldiers fighting, and the high-end combat power like the master has not made a move. It is not to say that they want to preserve their strength, but that when that time comes, it will probably be the moment of the final battle. I can't afford to gamble. For an existence like that, life and death are likely to be related to the direction of the entire war situation and the rise and fall of the country. No one dares to use this kind of power in the first place...

Li Qiu pays attention to these issues every day. He learned from folks and various channels that he is getting more and more anxious every day.

When he got the news, he would sometimes tell Yunjing in a grumbling manner, and sometimes he would ponder it in his own mind.

One day, Yunjing discovered that there was an extra sand table in their residence. From then on, whenever Li Qiu didn't teach Yun Jing anything, he would stand in front of the sand table, frowning and meditating, and deduce the battle situation on the sand table based on the information he got.

"Master probably wants to go to the battlefield. That day may not be far away..."

Seeing these things in his eyes, Yunjing also felt a sense of urgency in his heart. Now that the war is at a stalemate, who knows how long it will last. Once the situation gets out of control, there will be no eggs under the nest, and it will definitely affect himself and his family.

So Yunjing felt the need to do something.

He was born in this country for ten years. He has his own family, friends, and teachers here. The stability of the country in the past ten years has given Yunjing time to grow. He still has a strong sense of belonging to this country. Interestingly, Yun Jing is not a white-eyed wolf.

Not to mention too lofty ideals and noble personality, but even if Yunjing gave himself the space to survive and grow for the country, for his family and friends, or for himself, from his point of view, do something Not wrong.

Even if you can't change anything, but do your best to obey the destiny, do it yourself, and have a clear conscience!

Yun Jing's personality is relatively gentle, and with the teachings of his master over the years, his temperament is very stable, so even if he decides to do something, he is not in a hurry to mess up, lest it will be difficult to end, and may even cause chaos.

He has a clear understanding of himself. At present, he is a small person, and he has no means to change the world. If he doesn't have diamonds, he won't take on the porcelain work. It's better to plan later than to add chaos...

While Yunjing was planning silently, Li Qiu, as his master, was also fulfilling his promise.

One day, he told Yun Jing that he had found a master for his younger brother Yun Dong, and the other party had agreed to accept Yun Dong as his apprentice.

The other party is an old Juren, surnamed Zhao, who is almost 60 years old now, and the family still has some wealth, but life is not easy.

Mr. Zhao's life is not easy, not materially, but spiritually. He was an official in his early years and had a happy family. The sad thing is that when he was an official, he once arrested a martial arts practitioner who committed crimes. The man, after the other party was released after serving his sentence, held a grudge, and went to Zhao Laoju's house in the dark one day. At that time, he was working with his grandfather. The family escaped unharmed by putting the footbath in the well.

Although Zhao Laoju was an official, he was also a serious scholar, he had a teacher, and he was good at martial arts, so he killed his enemies with his own hands.

Revenge is revenge, but his family is gone, heartbroken and disheartened, he resigns from office and settles down in Xinlin County to raise his granddaughter carefully.

Li Qiu knew him from the "same year" in the early years, and there have been many correspondences in these years. He wrote to Mr. Zhao, saying that he would introduce an apprentice to him. The other party thought that his knowledge would be passed on, so he agreed. down.

Mr. Zhao agreed, not simply because his relationship with Li Qiu could not save face. In fact, he also had his own considerations. After all, he was going to grow old and die. Son, on the one hand, his own knowledge has been passed on, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as leaving a way for his granddaughter.

Disciple and disciple, master-student relationship, as close as father and son, with a disciple helping granddaughter, you can feel at ease when you die in the future.

Mr. Zhao promised to take Yundong as his apprentice, and even agreed to settle down in Niujiao Town, and he would also serve as a teacher in the school to teach Yundong conveniently...

Yun Jing seriously suspected that the master was planning a way out, reckoning that after he left, Zhao Laoju would be the head of the school. Otherwise, Zhao Laoju could take Yundong to the county to receive a better education.

These cloud scenes are seen in my eyes and kept in my heart. Master has his own thoughts and plans, and he is powerless to change anything...

On the day Mr. Zhao accepted Yun Dong as his apprentice, Yun Jing's family and Li Qiu all went and reserved a seat in Xiaolin House in the town. Due to the current situation, they did not make a big deal to avoid arousing criticism.

The process is similar to when Yunjing was apprenticed to the teacher.

After paying homage to his mentor three times, Yundong had a master, and a nephew who was one year younger than him, who was Zhao Laojuren's little granddaughter.

After that day, Yun Dong will be studying with his master and has to say goodbye to his parents and family.

That day Yundong cried, crying very loudly. Since then, he left his parents and family when he was young, he was very helpless, and it was a bit more sad than the atmosphere when Yunjing was holding back his tears when he left his parents.

After the eldest son Yun Jing left, the second son Yun Dong also grew up and 'left'. As parents, Jiang Susu and Yun Shan are not sad, it is false.

But when the child is about to grow up, they can only part with tears and tell the child to be obedient and homesick, so go back and have a look.

As a result, only Xiao Yunxi was left by their side.

The most unstoppable thing in the world is that the child has to grow up...

Separation in the world, especially the separation of flesh and blood, the inseparable pain, only through personal experience, can we know how bitter it is...

Fortunately, Niujiao Town is not far from Xiaoxi Village, so it is very convenient to go home.

Yundong's experience is much better than that of Yunjing before. No matter what, he still has an older brother in this town. It is very easy to meet him. At that time, we can see each other every day in the school. Where is it like Yunjing once? The town was completely alone, and Yundong still didn't realize much of the loneliness of leaving home at first.

After Yun Dong became a teacher, the days returned to 'calm' again.

Li Qiu still taught Yunjing what he had learned every day whenever he had time, and it was not long before school started, once school started and he became busy, Li Qiu would not have so much time to teach Yunjing as he did now.

Three days before the start of the new semester, Yunjing received a gift, a gift from his young daughter-in-law Su Xiaoye.

There are three gifts in total.

A piece of clothes that Su Xiaoye sewed by herself, a piece of wood carving she carved by herself, and a piece of yellow crystal with a pungent smell.

Su Xiaoye's needlework skills are obviously much better than when she was a child, and the clothes she sewed for Yunjing are decent.

The woodcarving she carved was a little tiger, the cartoon kind, a veritable 'fat tiger', very cute, and she asked the person who delivered the things to bring a message to ask Yunjing, what she asked was, Brother Jing, why? I have traveled so many mountains and forests, but I have never seen a tiger like the one you drew for me.

Hey, a cartoon-shaped tiger, it's no wonder she can find it in the mountains.

As for the piece of yellow crystal, according to the person who brought Su Xiaoye, she picked it up in the mountains, and she didn't know what it was, so she sent it to her brother Jing, a scholar.

Of course Yunjing knew what it was.

sulfur!
