Ping An Biography

"Don't worry about me, I can't get used to it in my heart. The update is the fastest." Zhang Ning looked at Yao Ji and said, "It seems that I have committed a whole body of crimes and debts, and I don't know how to pay them back or how to redeem them. I can't redeem myself. No one has ever treated me like this, after all, we just met for the first time. You are the leader of the evil cult, you have your day, don't be dragged down by caring about others."

Yao Ji's brows suddenly showed a trace of sadness: "Do you think I have dragged you down? I really didn't intend to recognize you at first, otherwise I wouldn't have the heart to abandon you more than [-] years ago. I don't want to rely on you. You drag you down, let alone occupy you, as long as you can have a thought in your heart."

"No! I..." Zhang Ning looked anxious, and found that he had read so many sages and written so many articles in vain, and couldn't express his thoughts clearly. .

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the room, and a voice said from outside: "Master, people outside the main altar have gathered together, and they may have to go up the mountain!"

Yao Ji stretched out her slender hand from her emerald sleeves, and grabbed Zhang Ning's palm: "You have to go. You go out from the stone cave under the ancient temple first, as we have discussed. Those people should not see you when they see you." Come to find out right away, and I will order the congregation to block the road after the person leaves. I will try to prove that the evil spirit sect has nothing to do with the survivors of the Jianwen Dynasty, and that the evil spirit incense is not poisonous. You don't have to get involved, live your own life day!"

"I want to advance and retreat with you, and I will never steal my life alone." Zhang Ning said seriously.

Yao Ji frowned and said, "I can't tell at the moment, but in the future you will understand that there is no hope for the Jianwen Dynasty, and it is useless to do anything. Your days are still long, so let go of what should be given up. You go!"

Zhang Ning walked out with heavy steps, and turned back when he reached the door of the room, "How can I see you again... Mom."

Yao Ji was stunned for a moment, and soon tears flashed from her eyes, she smiled, bit her lips, and said, "Never see you again, see you in your dreams, and think of me." She said After touching his wrist, he bent down with his empty hands and gently lifted up the long skirt, took off a chain from his ankle, walked over quickly with the long skirt in hand, stuffed the chain into Zhang Ning's hand, raised his head and looked dimly. Looking at him carefully: "Leave a thought for you, remember what mother said."

Zhang Ning tightly grasped the chain in his hand. At first, he was so emotional that he couldn't help himself, but suddenly he felt calm, as if he had found a clue in the mess.He nodded cruelly and said: "Then I'll go first, and if Yan Ruofei finds out that I have colluded with the evil cult, there will be a lot of troubles that are hard to solve."

After saying that, he turned around and left, not daring to look back.

The stone road in the mountain was shrouded in cold and moist fog, and Zhang Ning couldn't help shivering as he walked through it.He and Xu Wenjun got all the confiscated items and passed along the way they came unimpeded.

Walked around, as if nothing was taken away and nothing was left behind.

Opening the stone slab from the entrance of the secret passage, Zhang Ning just wanted to get up when he saw the light shaking outside the wooden door of the inner hall.After a while, Yan Ruofei and others walked to the door with torches.Seeing Zhang Ning, Yan Ruofei's face showed surprise and surprise in the firelight: "Master Zhang!"

"Let's talk about it later." Zhang Ning pretended to be mysterious.

The two people who came in with Yan Ruofei were worried, not to mention them, even Zhang Ning felt fear when he first came in.When they heard Zhang Ning's order, they showed grateful expressions, as if they were saying that the old men wanted to leave this ghost place a long time ago.

Everyone came down from the mountainside, and the wind from the vent in the valley was still strong. Zhang Ning accidentally didn't hold down his hat, and it was blown away.The sheltered man behind a big rock took the horse and things and followed them out of the valley and stopped at the camp.

Zhang Ning sat directly on the grass, with a tired look on his face, and deliberately shouted: "I'm starving to death, get something to eat."

The guide and the rest of the entourage looked at Zhang Ning carefully, with fear at a respectful distance, as if Zhang Ning had been cursed or possessed by the ghost king, and he was no longer an ordinary person; To die, just like the curious explorers who entered the ancient temple and went back to die.

While Zhang Ning ate the dry food, he picked up the water bag and poured it vigorously. His mouth was full of food, his cheeks were swollen, and his skirt was also stained.He suddenly stretched out his neck as if he was choking, tears came out and he couldn't stop it.

Yan Ruofei hurried up to pat him on the back: "Slow down, we still have a lot of supplies, don't choke."

After a while, Yan Ruofei asked: "What did Mr. Zhang do in the ancient temple all night? There is a secret passage below, what did you find? But let us worry for a while, Mr. Wu has rushed to Yongshun Division yesterday Consolation Envoy, please rescue me."

Someone next to him interjected: "Yes, we have changed people to guard at the foot of the mountain all night, hoping that Mr. Zhang will come out soon."

Looking around, Zhang Ning did not see Wu Yong and Zhan Zhuli. He calmed down and said, "Of course I didn't see any ghost king. Don't be afraid. It's just spreading rumors. There are ghosts..."

As soon as I said this, a few people who were listening curiously couldn't help but backed away a little.

Zhang Ning continued: "However, I found a cave under the temple, so I went down with Wenjun to find out. Unexpectedly, there was a fork in the cave. We burned the tung oil on the torches, and the light was dark again, and the road was forked. , I couldn't find the way back for a long time. After a long time of groping, I was lucky enough to get out. Is this morning or afternoon?"

"Morning." Yan Ruofei replied, "You went for a half day and a whole night."

Zhang Ning asked Xu Wenjun to take the cloth bag back, and said, "Of course we didn't go in for nothing. We found this thing. It's a big bag, enough to take it back for business."

Yan Ruofei opened it gently, took a finger and put it in front of his nose to smell: "The fragrance of evil spirits."

Zhang Ning nodded and said: "Now we will set off for the Yongshun Propaganda Envoy to meet with Master Wu and the others, and then ask Yongshun to send someone to help find out the details of the evil sect, otherwise the dozen or so of us are too few , and are not familiar with the local conditions, they have made a lot of achievements.”

Yan Ruofei turned his head and wished for the dim ancient temple in the mountains, so he had no choice but to say: "What Master Zhang said is very true, the only way to do it this way."

It was only early in the morning that Zhang Ning said that he did not want to affect the itinerary because of the rest of the two of them, so he immediately packed up the camp and set off.Having not rested all night was really exhausting, coupled with the emotional ups and downs and tossing around at night, Zhang Ning felt his eyes were dry and his body was weak, and his spirit was very bad.

Along the way, Zhang Ning seemed very silent, as if he was in a bad mood.However, after a few days, neither he nor Xu Wenjun showed any signs of dying, nor were they sick, so everyone felt that they should have been caught by the ghost king, but they didn't know if it was due to the evil spirit incense.

One night, when everyone was walking to a place where there was no village or shop behind, Zhang Ning called Yan Ruofei, Zhan Zhuli, Du Fang and others into the tent for a secret talk.Zhang Ning asked Du Fang in a low voice: "Governor Du knows a lot about the evil sect. He should have been paying attention to it for a while. Have you heard the details of their background?"

Du Fangdao: "This divine religion has never been approved by the government. It is neither Buddhist nor Daoist, let alone superstitious. It probably originated in Wushan County, Chongqing Prefecture. It has been lying around all the year round to confuse people and resell talisman water god incense. It is really an illegal gathering. But they have a large number of people. If the imperial court thinks it is a problem, the Ministry of War can send a document to the three judiciaries in Huguang, the chief envoy, the procuratorate, and the three commanders to gather troops to exterminate it."

Zhang Ning frowned and said: "I'm not asking how to exterminate them. The world is so big, there are countless sects pretending to be gods and ghosts, and there are countless cottages that occupy mountains and become kings. Our Ministry of Rites is not in charge of this. If Yue Chef does it for us, maybe my colleagues will think that we Too much free time, nothing to do. Now we just want to know the details of the cult and who are leading the congregation."

Du Fang said embarrassingly: "The lower officials really don't know the inside story."

After hearing this, Zhang Ning sighed, feeling quite helpless.But he himself felt slightly relieved.

Yan Ruofei said calmly: "I think there is something strange about this evil cult. Since it is a clue, I should ask someone to put someone here, organize a sub-division of interviews, and try to infiltrate them to find out the situation. A large number of people go to investigate, and they smell hostility, so they must take precautions and hide; this kind of thing can only see results in the long run if it takes time to infiltrate slowly, and sending people to investigate suddenly may not find anything useful.”

After hearing this, Zhang Ning hurriedly backed away from the left and right, and quietly said to Yan Ruofei: "Hero Yan, this is not the Yongle period, and all the reporters and envoys in the world have been abolished. How dare we set up a government punishment hall? Master Hu is not willing to do this either , unless you get the emperor's permission. So don't mention this matter for the time being, and wait until you return to Beijing to hear what the emperor wants."

Early the next morning, not long after Zhang Ning and others started their journey, they encountered a large group of Tujia horses. The Han officials in the group came up to greet them, claiming to be the guard of honor sent by Peng Dingnan, the "Yongshun Military and Civilian Consolation Envoy" to welcome the court envoys.

Zhang Ning only brought the official official seal and did not bring official uniforms and ceremonial items, so he was not prepared and went west with them directly.In the afternoon, we arrived at Fushi City. According to Hanguan City, this city is the seat of Yongshun Division. There is Zijin Mountain in the south of the city, and Ruoyun Court in the north of the city. write poetry.And on the elegant lawn between Zijin Mountain and Ruoyun Courtyard is the yamen administration of Yongshun Division, which integrates military and government.This is actually a relatively closed small kingdom, the chief is the emperor, and it is normal to live like an emperor.

As soon as I entered Fushi City, I saw people of all ethnic groups wearing national costumes, many of them wearing silver ornaments, lining the road to welcome them as if they were celebrating a festival, and the little Miao lady came up to give flowers.This scene made Zhang Ning feel as if he was a foreign guest on a friendly visit.
