Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 584 583. Fubo
After eating, Cui Qian and Cui Wanrong left.

The two of them had other things to do, although Cui Wanrong was full of reluctance, but they still had to leave.

But as soon as the two left, the small courtyard where there were only three people left became quiet.

When Xuanzang had nothing to do, he taught the little Taoist boys to copy scriptures.

However, what was copied was not pure Buddhist scriptures, but Buddhist scriptures compiled by some eminent monks and virtuous monks after Buddhism was introduced to China.

It is not to teach him to practice Buddhism, but to tell him the truth in the Buddhist scriptures just like Li Zhen taught his apprentices to tell stories.

Lao Du doesn't read books.

Or the contents of the book are all in his head. At first glance, he seems to be sitting on the porch enjoying the cool air in a daze, but in fact he doesn't know whether he is reading "Spring and Autumn" or "Jin Ping Mei" in his mind.

Coincidentally, Li Zhen doesn't study either.

He sat on the threshold of the kitchen, thinking about the matter of enlightenment that was far away.

Shou Jing's current book has been changed to one book per day, which is placed at night.

And the reason why he didn't come back this time, so he went to see those Longhuo refugees, was because with the help of Shoujing's eyes, he already knew almost everything.

Today's refugees from the east of the river are all ramming the ground on a large scale. Those who are in charge of the eight, eight, four and eight palaces in the Taoist sect have high requirements for all aspects. Let’s not mention it first, just talk about the soil that rammed the foundation, there is a saying.

The five-color soil is the most basic, and among the five-color soil, some soils need some special things.

For example, the foundation of Sanqing Hall, the main building of the palace, needs to be piled with purple jade.

What is purple jade?To put it bluntly, it is a fossil.

Or stone or soil with fossils inside.

Of course, there is no concept of fossils in this era, so Taoists call it purple jade.

Purple is the most noble color in the hearts of Taoists and even the people of the world, and it is exclusive to the gods.

And the foundation made of this kind of purple jade is the necessary and most basic thing for building the Sanqing Palace.

Li Zhenyou remembers... At that time, when Shoujing saw these materials that the Cui family got from someone who didn't know where they got them, she couldn't help but gnaw on them and broke her teeth.

For the same reason, it can be seen from this that this eight-in-one-eight-closed formation that can lock the dragon and fire needs something insane.

At this stage, in addition to laying the foundation, it is rammed earth.

The Taoists demanded that these folks should forcibly build a large formation with mountains, water, life, and death outside Yukui County in Mapingchuan. Block the dragon veins.

So Yu Qun's refugees are really busy.

Busy to eat, busy to work, busy to atone for sins... also busy to finish it early and be able to go home early.

After seeing all this from the perspective of Shoujing, seeing that everything was normal, Shoujing even ate several meals from the refugees, and after confirming that there was no shortage of salt, oil, meat and rice, he completely let go of his mind.

The Cui family has a conscience.

But the same...

The energy displayed by the Cui family also made Li Zhen even more frightened.

And the Cui family alone could do this. Now that I think about it...the Lu family just sent a small group of people to stop them, so they were really lucky.

Thinking of this, his urgency for enlightenment became stronger.

But the stronger he is, the more helpless he is.

reason……

Where is the principle of achieving enlightenment?
……

Linfen County, Linfen.

Linfen County is located in the north of Hedong County, just after Jiang County.

And Linfen County is the most prosperous city in Linfen County, both in terms of population size and city size are incomparable.

However, recently Linfen has become a gathering place for many rich merchants and time-honored brands.

Every day, dozens or even hundreds of carts of supplies are transported outside the city, and there are people who take turns patrolling day and night, and then... the next morning, hundreds of carts of supplies and the small ones range from hundreds to hundreds. Thousands of guards who were not weak at first glance left together and went south.

The reason why this is so is also very simple.

These firms are all firms that have dealt with the Cui family all the year round. Half a month ago, the Cui family suddenly contacted them and made a series of lists.

Want goods, want fast, want more.

As for the credit of the Cui family, these people are naturally not worried, so even if the money is not in place, they have already started to prepare enough materials, those who are transported by water will directly send thousands of sails, and those who are transported by land will arrive in a unified way according to the arrangement of the Cui family Linfen.

There will be professional guards here, as well as Cui's bloodline, leading them towards the east of the river.

As for whether this road is dangerous...

Okay.

Thanks to the comforting ambassador from Hedong, Shanxi, after clearing the thieves in Jiangjun and Hedong, as long as he followed the route given by the Cui family, the journey was very smooth, and no one was killed.

No one dared to make trouble.

It doesn't matter if you are a horse thief or a bandit.

These days...if you offend the emperor, you can go to the deep mountains and old forests to hide in peace.

But offended the family...

How many heads can you chop off?
Therefore, even if no money has been seen, these merchants have already started to take action, and even the benefits of all links have been opened up.

In addition, the Cui family has already taken care of everything that needs to be arranged along the way, and no one dares to pluck a hair by passing by, so that the business environment from Linfen to Yujiao has reached an unprecedented level.

However, just two or three days ago, suddenly, news came from the Cui family.

All caravans stop first.

It's not that the items are no longer needed, but that they are asked to suspend the transportation.

Wait for Cui's guards to arrive.

At the beginning, some people were panicked, but after repeated inquiries from some people, they confirmed that they still needed something. They had to wait for a group of elite soldiers from the family to arrive and personally escort them all the way. After it was safer, people's hearts became more stable. up.

And everyone didn't dare to speculate on why this happened, and they didn't even dare to talk about these things with others.

Because I was afraid that those words would conflict with Mrs. Cui, and my several or even dozens of vehicles of materials would become useless waste.

So although everyone is guessing why this is the case, on the surface they still look like hello and me.

Until... I received the news last night.

At noon tomorrow, all caravans and horses are fed with enough food, water and fodder, and are ready to set off.

And as soon as the news came out, the anxious and anxious team had already completed their assembly before dawn.

Hundreds of chariots and crowds formed a dark and busy scene outside the city.

Countless people were looking forward to it, waiting for those Cui family's guards.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

Among the crowd, two middle-aged men whose clothes were obviously different from those of the buddies and laborers stood beside the official road, looking towards the direction of the city gate, and one of them muttered something.

The other person also nodded slightly, obviously, he couldn't wait any longer.

And at this juncture, suddenly, in the light and shadow at the gate of the city, the shadow of a cavalry appeared.

"coming!"

Everyone's heart froze.

And the attention of the two people was instantly concentrated.

There is a sense of déjà vu that I have finally found my sweetheart.

It was a troop of cavalry.

Or rather, a person on a horse.

He doesn't wear armor, and he doesn't pretend to be a literati.

What he was wearing was just ordinary looking clothes.

Horses are not particularly rare, just ordinary horses.

If you really want to say that the only feature they have is the black iron whip hanging on the horse's back.

The iron whip is three feet and three inches long, black all over, without edge or front, extremely simple.

Just hang on the side of the mount.

within reach.

And when he saw the iron whip, the man who was still muttering why he didn't come suddenly changed his expression:

"That's... Fubo Envoy!???"

His eyes were full of absurdity, but after saying this strange name, a gleam of ecstasy suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"It's really Fuboshi!?"

Two consecutive strange names made the person next to him a little confused.

Obviously, this person doesn't know what Fubo Shi is.

So he asked in a low voice:

"Brother Lu, what is Fubo Envoy?"

"!!"

With excited eyes, the man quickly lowered his voice after hearing the other party's question:

"Brother Lin doesn't even know Fubo Envoy!?"

"...Brother Lu, please guide me."

"Fubo Envoy, Brother Lin, do you know that the Cui family is the descendant of Jiang Taigong?"

"It's natural."

"It is rumored that Jiang Taigong holds the list of gods and conferred the gods to pacify the troubled times. There are three guards around him. One is Feiyu, the other is Houhuang, and the third one is Fubo! According to legend, these three guards have their own abilities , Feiyu is good at galloping, defending the city in thick wasteland, and this Fubo was full-time at the beginning to expand the territory, in charge of killing and defeating the enemy's army, holding a Xuanshui whip, if you don't shoot it, the still water will flow deep, and if you shoot it, it will flow Incessantly, like mercury leaking out!
After King Zhou divided the titles, the three personal guards became the Taigong's retainers. Although the military title was still passed down in the army, they had become retainers after all, so they were changed to Fuboshi.From generation to generation, those who pretend to be surnames, or people of Cui's blood will be responsible!This is Cui's backbone!According to legend, every Fubo envoy is a great practitioner in the realm of freedom!The master of masters!And General Fubo, who commands these Fubo envoys, is a fierce general like no one in a million!It is also one of Cui's greatest confidence to deter the enemies! "

When this Lu brother spoke, his eyebrows were beaming, and he was obviously very excited to meet these so-called fubo envoys this time.

On the contrary, Brother Lin seemed a little unbelieving, looked at the knight who was getting closer, and asked:
"Everyone is a master of the free environment?"

"Ok!"

Brother Lu nodded heavily.

"... Are masters in the free world so worthless?"

"That's Mrs. Cui! Brother Lin!!!"

Looking at the group of knights, he muttered to himself:

"For people like us, not to mention the state of ease, it is a cultivator who is out of the world, and they are all high above. Even if you hire them, these people are all above the top... Ke Lin Brother, don’t forget, it’s not that the masters in the free world are worthless, but... the person who owns them is the Cui family, the Cui family after Jiang Taigong!... This trip is really stable. With Fubo envoys here ...you can sit back and relax."

And it was just this effort to speak, finally, these Fubo envoys who were dressed in ordinary clothes, at first glance they looked like ordinary guards, came step by step to the official road where the caravans on both sides were located.

No one speaks.

And no one looked as contemptuous as some proud soldiers.

These people just looked around, their eyes were flat, and strangers were not allowed to enter, but there was no resistance or alienation.

It seemed that they were really just a group of guards who worked hard for money.

Step by step, without any communication.

Until the middle of the team, three generals in armor finally appeared.

The armor worn by these three people is also engraved with one after another... It can be said to be seal characters, or it can be decorated with flowing water ripples.

Armor, no helmet.

The age is about forty.

His face is majestic, yet gentle, and there seems to be a Confucian demeanor in his fortitude.

And after coming to the team, the voice of the leader's mouth rang in everyone's ears:

"This general, Cui Ling, led five hundred comrades to escort everyone to Yuqiang. I will wait for the front army to advance, and you can follow behind. Don't panic if you encounter any troubles. Leave them to us and follow all arrangements. This general's order cannot be violated."

After finishing speaking, the general named Cui Ling politely clasped his hands together:

"Everyone, let's go."

Being polite, the first reaction in people's heart is comfort.

And the second reaction...

go go go go go!
I've been here for a few days, and I have to send the materials to Yu Quan quickly.

As a result, the carriages and horses on both sides were noisy, and everyone followed the five hundred Fubo Shi in the order of their respective caravans.

In a short time, there was only an empty area outside Linfen City.

And in the long queue of hundreds of mules and horses, the position of Cui Ling and the three generals has changed from the middle of Fu Boshi to the vanguard at some point.

Three riders and one horse took the lead, and after they walked out of the border of Linfen, ten riders rode out and ran to the distance ahead.

Seeing their disappearing backs, Cui Ling said to the lieutenant on his left, Cui Zhu who was also his own brother:
"Second, who do you think the Lu family will send this time?"

Hearing this, Cui Zhu shook his head:

"That depends on what the Lu family wants. If you want to fight, the two brothers Lu Shuangzhan and Lu Shuangzhong will definitely come out. If you want to talk...I don't know what's going on at home, but on this side...Isn't the seventh son of the Lu family here? Fuxian County? You know we're here, if Lu Laoqi doesn't come to see you...huh."

There was a sound of a sneer or a cold snort, and Cui Zhu shook his neck.

"I was able to hold him in the river back then, and it's fine now!"

At this time, the third middle-aged man beside him chuckled lightly:
"Oh, Brother Twelve doesn't need to do that."

Looking at the road ahead, he said unhurriedly:

"This matter is not that complicated. Lu Kuang will definitely come to see us, not only to see us, but according to my understanding of him, I am afraid that no matter what the Lu family's attitude is, when he learns that we have appeared in Hedong, he will be ready The gift will come to visit, and will give us a ride to ensure that we arrive in Yuqian safe and sound. At that time, Brother Twelve will not embarrass him, so that the Lu family will not talk to our family when they know about these things Everyone has a bad face at the time."

"……Humph!"

Cui Zhu snorted again in displeasure.

But Cui Ling nodded:
"Well, then listen to Xiao Nineteen. Second child, if Lu Lao Qi comes, you will stay in the army, and leave the rest to me..."

As he said that, a trace of hot fighting intent gradually appeared in his eyes:
"But... I really hope it's Lu Lao Si who comes... I haven't exercised my muscles for many years."

Accompanied by this fighting spirit, the black iron whip hanging on the horse let out a faint moan.

I am eager to try.

Can't wait.
