Yu Jun

In the first year of Kunsheng's reign, on December 13, the Mo army conquered Dazhao Yue Prefecture.

In the second year of Kunsheng, on the tenth day of the ninth lunar month, Jokhang wrote to the Kingdom of Jin, promising to use the territory of the four states of Daqi. The alliance attacked Daqi and agreed to launch a joint attack at the end of October.

When Mo Lingfeng learned of this incident in early October, he immediately ordered Yin Nan, the military commander of Kuanzhou, to lead a large army out of Gaopingzhai and attack Jinlu regardless of the cost.

The Mo army went out of the border with grain, fodder, and gunpowder, and went all out, almost breaking through the Jinlu capital's defense line, and the alliance between Jin and Zhao could not be settled.

On the third day of the second month of the third year of Kunsheng's reign, Daqi conquered the two prefectures of Zhao, Qi and He, telling the world that the emperor's thunderous wrath was a river of blood.

Because of this incident, Zhao Zhan of Zhaozhao spent a lot of money to raise his troops. In the bad years of famine, he used refugees as refugees. The army was strong for a while, but the Mo army could not make any further progress.

However, in the eleventh year of Kunsheng's reign, the situation in Dazhao took a turn for the worse.

The Wude Secretary wields power in the government and the public, supervises hundreds of officials, and is out of control. He regards the rich, gentry, and wealthy households as caves. He extorts wealth and takes revenge. The world is in turmoil. Civil and military officials occasionally express complaints. Within four seconds, he enters Zhao Zhan's house. The ears are often captured and killed.

When admonishing the imperial censor, Zhao Zhan sneered in the morning court: "If you can devote all your energy to the country, why should I care about the criminal law?"

At this point, Wude Si became even more rampant, killing people so brutally that it made people frightened. The whole country and the public were trembling with fear, and they obeyed Zhao Zhan's hands.

In the eleventh year of Kunsheng's reign, the Jokhang locust plague broke out. Daqi captured four states in one fell swoop and marched southward. The navy was brave. In just one year, it approached Tanzhou, which was only separated by a river.

Half of the Central Plains fell into the hands of Mo Lingfeng.

On the tenth day of the second lunar month in the twelfth year of Kunsheng's reign, the spring was cold and the cold rain was raining on the flowers.

It was drizzling in Tanzhou, and a group of twenty people, wearing bamboo hats, short green and brown clothes, and raincoats, dressed as followers, with sharp knives hidden in their waists, and fierce eyes, guarding Mo Lingfeng, galloping on the mountain road, heading towards Huaping County.

A group of people entered Huaping County at this time. They hid their horses in the mountains and ordered two people to guard them. The rest quickly entered the Yanjiang Street, with rows of houses on both sides, turned around the street and entered the alley.

In the alley are footwear shops, teahouses, restaurants, fragrant soup restaurants, and paper horse shops, all of which are closed. Only the footwear shop on the street has a little light, and the drug store at the end of the street has a little light.

Yin Bei waved back at the entrance of the alley, and the forbidden troops behind him immediately dispersed into the darkness, guarding him quietly.

Mo Lingfeng wore a coir raincoat and a soap-colored gown underneath. He strode to the end of the street and looked up at the drug store.

There is only one room in a two-story building, but there are many signs at the door. On the left is "Zhi Ji Lao Shu Jin Huo Xue Wan", on the right is "Cure Stomach Leng Ji Xiang Wan", and there are several small signs saying something like " "Dali Zhongwan", "Qingxin Pill", "Cure Women's Disease", they seem to be quackery, they can cure all directions and not even a blade of grass grows.

This was her destination to take great risks and sneak into Dazhao.

Mr. Yin Yang, who wrote the book of criticism, once said that Mo Qianlan's soul went south and landed in a family named Li in Tanzhou. He was born a boy and his birthday was on the 24th noon of the first lunar month.

She sent people to search for him for a long time, and even stole the Tanzhou Yellow Book, but could not find anyone who matched him.

Shi Yuan accidentally heard someone talk about a female doctor in Huaping County, Tanzhou, who could connect the yin and yang and cut off the souls of the dead. She sent Yin Bei here three times, but she didn't see anyone. This time, Shi Yuan said that she saw someone. Can't wait to come.

She lifted up her clothes, walked up the steps, and crossed the threshold. On the left side of the door was a bench, with a counter and a medicine cabinet behind it. A little girl who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old held a scale in one hand and stepped under the medicine cabinet with the other. Take the medicine out of the drawer and weigh it.

Hearing the noise, the little girl stepped on the stool, stood on the counter, and looked at Mo Lingfeng.

She only glanced at it, and suddenly her expression changed drastically, and her tightly closed lips opened little by little.

A gust of cold wind swept in from outside the house, with a sharp whistling sound and a scalp-numbing cry, like the word "fierce" being repeated repeatedly.

It was eerie and cold to the bone. The paintings on the wall were clattering, the candlelight was shaking, the medicine cabinet was shaking, the beams were shaking, and the little girl's mouth slowly opened and turned into a black hole.

The hole then grew wider, gradually exceeding the entire face, growing larger and larger, becoming a vortex that could swallow everything.

The fangs inside also became mountain peaks.

Yin Bei was shocked and couldn't move, but Mo Lingfeng was not restrained. He suddenly drew his knife and slashed at the monster in front of him. For some reason, the knife was covered with blood.

"Watch chess!" An angry shout came from upstairs. The black hole-like mouth closed instantly, and Mo Lingfeng's knife was still in the air. Everything in the room returned to its original state. Everything just now seemed to be an illusion.

Only the bench slid from left to right.

Only now could Yin Bei's hand hold the handle of the knife. He was sweating profusely, the blood on his face faded, and his hands were shaking.

Mo Lingfeng's expression didn't change. He put the knife away into its sheath and waited for someone to speak.

The person upstairs walked to the corner of the stairs, stopped showing his face, and apologized: "The medicine boy loves illusions and has a naughty temperament. He often uses this to scare people, and he can't treat his distinguished guests."

Mo Lingfeng said: "Since you are an honored guest, why are you covering up and being secretive?"

The man chuckled and said: "I have a serious illness and am afraid of scaring the emperor - no, he is an honored guest."

Yin Bei was sweating again. One hand was tightly grasping the handle of the knife, and the other hand was blocking Mo Lingfeng's body. At the same time, he looked around to see if there was any ambush.

Mo Lingfeng pressed his hand.

There is no airtight wall in the world, not to mention that her profession came from the dock, so she couldn't hide it at all, but the news would not be revealed so quickly. This female doctor was not simple.

"I have an old thing." She took out a wooden comb from her arms. "I want to find an old person. Please help me."

"Guanqi, bring it to me and take a look."

The little girl came out from behind the counter, stepped forward cautiously, looked at Mo Lingfeng warily, stretched out two fingers, held the wooden comb, and jumped up like a rabbit.

There was a brief silence on the stairs.

After a while, the little girl returned the comb, and the person on the stairs said: "No longer in this world."

"Not even a ghost?"

The man suddenly asked: "If he is a ghost, what will you do?"

"I'll take him home," Mo Lingfeng put away his comb, his face indistinguishable from sadness to joy, "Sometimes I'm alone at home. I wake up in the middle of the night and open my eyes. Thinking of not having him at home, I feel like there's no tomorrow. It doesn’t matter.”

"It's not a ghost. There is no afterlife. It has completely disappeared."

"That's it." Mo Lingfeng's tone was calm, with no tears in his eyes.

But the air suddenly stagnated, and sadness was like water vapor, silently clinging to everyone.

The man added: "You have a new life in your belly, and you are a very good child."

"I know, because the child's father is a very good man," Mo Lefeng nodded, "Goodbye."

She already knew the news she wanted to know, and there was no need to stay here for long. She took out a piece of gold cake and put it on the counter. She walked out of the drug store, left Huaping County, and headed for Tanzhoufu Pier.

Shi Yuan was waiting at the dock. Mo Lingfeng abandoned his horse and the boat sailed away from Tanzhou at a high speed. Less than a moment after they left, Tanzhou was completely boiling. The garrison came out in full force to search the mountains and seas, looking for the Emperor Daqi. trace.

The corresponding ship arrived at Huanggu Pier six hours later. Wu Jin had been waiting on the pier. When he saw the Imperial Army escorting Mo Lingfeng off the gangplank, he breathed a sigh of relief and went forward to greet her. He shook off the crane cloak and put it on her shoulders. .

Mo Lingfeng grinned at him, and the moisture in his heart gradually dropped. He stretched out his hand to touch his stubbled chin: "Have you been waiting here?"

Wu Jin also smiled: "No, I just came here and I plan to grow a beard."

The two walked side by side, with the strong wind in their ears and the huge waves behind them, carrying them forward. (End of chapter)
