The Sacred Ding Chapter 112: The old man steps on his sword

Take a remote path from Meiwu Fort, along the Qiuye River north, two or three miles away is the new farm that Chen Hai and the others bought.

There are more than ten acres of peach trees planted on the beachfront of the farmland. Before Yaqu, the original owner gave the farmland the name Taohuawu, but it reminded Chen Hai of the poem "Taohuawu in Taohuawu, Taohuan under Taohua". .

As a tributary of Chu River, the water surface of Qiuye River passing through Meiwubao is extremely wide. In winter, the water surface is more than ten miles wide. The farmland belongs to more than 300 acres of fertile land, which was reclaimed by the original owner from this river beach. of.

Except for a remote road leading to the gallop in front of the Meiwu Fort and the main waterway of the Qiuye River to the east, the other three sides of the farm are covered with weeds and grass covered with white snow.

In summer and autumn, when the water is extremely strong, the river overflows, and the farm will be submerged into an isolated island. You have to wade through the water to get onto the gallop in front of Meiwu Fort.

Regardless of whether the refugees will harm the Gyeonggi area, Chen Hai feels that they must take precautions.

In addition to facing the attack from the Akino River, the other three sides are also easy to defend and difficult to attack. The surrounding shallow grass will open up a ditch after the spring is opened. If you plant alfalfa and chrysanthemum grass on three or four hundred acres of land, Use it directly as a racecourse.

Chen Lie and Su Yuan were very satisfied with the topography of Taohuawu after seeing them.

The old owner is also a first-class figure of the township tycoon. In addition to the exquisitely built main courtyard houses where the family members lived, there are also handy houses where the villagers and servants live, which can be used as temporary military houses.

There are a large number of bamboo, wood, bricks and stones piled up in the farm. Originally, the old owner saw the refugees and bandits in Gyeonggi and planned to build a wall to strengthen the defense of the farm. However, he finally considered moving his family into the city of Yanjing. The ready-made building materials are cheaper. Chen Hai and the others don't need additional preparations.

In addition to the two hundred soldiers, there were more than 30 craftsmen and craftsmen who followed Chen Hai and them into Yanjing. Everyone worked together and built a simple stable in seven or eight days, and a dozen more were built. The bamboo house supplements the shortage of the military house.

More than two hundred guards and horses have moved here. Although the conditions are still very simple, they are much more relaxed than those crowded in the small Meiwu Fort; the pine wood wharf of Linqiuye River only needs to be cleaned up. Dock the ship.

At this time, Chen Lie was busy with Dong Pan and Ge Xuanqiao all day, negotiating with officials of the Taiwei Mansion and envoys of Hexiang Army, arguing about the grievances and right and wrong between the two armies, while Chen Hai stayed to rectify Taohuawu. Before the New Year's Day, they had never entered Yanjing City, but let Ding Shuang, Zhou Jingyuan and the others enter the city to choose a house for Bingjia Shop and Escort.

From Yao Xing’s fragmented memory, Chen Hai was able to piece together the prototype of Yanjing City, but he was inexplicable resistance to entering the city, and Qi Hanjiang and other Kou Nu soldiers drove them to the battlefield to kill with excitement, but Reluctant to lay hands on the craftsmen to do chores, only Chen Haineng can hold these people.

As the New Year’s Pass approached, a large group of refugees moved from the north, about 20,000 to 30,000, stranded in the beach land about seven or eight miles away from Taohuawu.

The local soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi-bu County came to drive a few times, but after every time they were dispersed, they gathered again the next day.

The vast majority of these refugees are ragged, with yellow faces and thin faces, and more than half are old and weak women and children. They gather in the river beaches north of Meiwu Fort to fish, pick wild vegetables or beg for food from nearby villages; local soldiers and horses There is no way to abuse the swordsman to slaughter women and children, and to drive them out several times has no effect, so they don't bother.

Although Chen Hai has long realized that there are a large number of refugees and hungry people in Gyeonggi, he has never left Maywood Fort. This is the first time he saw large-scale refugees in Gyeonggi, not to mention. Dare to leave Taohuawu easily.

Cleaning up the place is not their duty. They are all against the laws and regulations when they come forward to recruit the refugees. The local governments and counties have nothing to do. Chen Hai can only work with the Wuwei military road soldiers stationed in Meiwu in the south to strengthen the north. Vigilance, it is difficult to do anything else.

Two days before the New Year’s Day, Chen Lie, accompanied by Suyuan, rushed back to Meiwu Fort from Yanjing City. Chen Qing and Su Ziling also came back from the school to celebrate the new year together. They also invited Li Yulin and his attendant Leyi to Come and stay in Taohuawu for two days.

Among the disciples of Taiweizong who participated in the election of Tianshu Academy, many of them are familiar faces of Chen Hai. Dong Ning, Jie Wenzhuo, Xie Wenchan, Chai Rong, Li Yulin, etc. will all come over to see if there is anything. A chance to be famous all over the world on the Chunwei Green Bird List.

Xie Wenchan was cleaned up by Chen Hai. Even the nephew of Chen Zhiyi, the clan lord of the Chen clan, hid here. The relationship between Jie Wenzhuo and this side is also sparse, and Chai Rong almost didn't have the courage to walk into Yanjing. He would not show his face in front of Chen Hai; and although Li Yulin is arrogant, but because of Li Xianghai’s relationship, he has also seen Chen Hai’s courage and got close to the Zhaoyang Pavilion. Chen Qing went to Taohuawu to spend the New Year together.

On this day, tens of thousands of hungry people gathered on the northern river beach.

For more than ten days, Chen Hai and the others did not have time to build a thick wall to protect Zhuangzi. They only built four simple bamboo buildings on the four corners of the farm as guards to monitor the movement of the northern river beach at any time.

From time to time, hungry people enter the Caoze Shoal to the north of the farm to pick wild vegetables. Chen Hai is wary and deeply moved.

Emperor Yitian’s seventy-two years are about to pass, and he has entered another world for nearly two and a half years. He originally thought that this world exists for both gods and demons. No matter how hard the people are, they should suffer from being trampled by the gods and demons. Ants, unable to struggle, never thought that Yanzhou is also a world where catastrophes and famines are rampant, and hungry people are left behind.

Uncles Chen Lie, Su Yuan, Chen Qing, Zhou Jun, and Li Yulin first went to Meiwu Fort to the south for a banquet. Chen Hai was not worried about the movement of the refugees on the river beach, so he stayed in Taohuawu, fearing that he would really leave. Whatever situation, coming from Fort Maywood, three or four miles away, will delay the reaction time.

The more the New Year, the more restless the refugees appear, and the less Chen Hai dare to be careless.

When the sky was getting dark, Chen Hai stood on the post in the northeast corner and saw a blue streamer coming from the direction of Yanjing City.

The cyan streamer is far away from Taohuawu, but the sharp aura is like a golden needle, which makes Chen Hai extremely uncomfortable.

What a powerful air machine!

Whether it’s a friend or an enemy, he didn’t say hello, and suddenly he rushed directly to Taohuawu. Chen Hai didn’t dare to relax a little bit. After he released the Biying Sword, he buzzed and passed through the room. Drinking Wu Meng, Ge Tong, Ding Shuang, Qi Hanjiang and others led their soldiers to wear armors...

The cyan streamer stopped three or four miles away from Taohuawu, but a cyan bamboo flute lay across the Qiuye River. A Taoist man wearing a half-old Taoist robe, half-black and half-white hair and beard, stepped on Above the Qing Flute, he glanced at Chen Hai and the others in confusion, as if he didn't expect that the owner would have changed.

The Daoist Qingdi shouted in the direction of Meiwubao: "Ge Lao Dao, the New Year's Day is coming, come out and accompany me in a game of chess and the festival, I haven't killed you in twenty years, it's really itchy to me! "

"It's all said that you are in retreat. I haven't found your figure in Yanjing for half a month. How come I went crazy here today, and it's not painful to come?" Ge Xuanqiao's loud voice, just after Coming from the direction of Meiwubao, a golden light resembling a rainbow bridge came out of Meiwubao and fell directly over the Qiuye River.

Ge Xuanqiao stepped out of Maywood Fort, one step, one mile, three or four steps already standing side by side with the old way, seeing their faces have joy that has not been seen for many years.

This old way of walking on the blue flute is actually Chen Xuanzhen, the teacher of Tu Ziji and one of the eight great wine ceremonies in Meizhu Academy?

At this time, I saw my uncle Chen Lie, as well as 60 or 70 people including Dong Pan, Tu Ziji, and Dong Ning, all flying out of Meiwu Fort and coming over to greet Chen Xuanzhen in madness.

Chen Hai stayed in Taohuawu for the past two days. I didn’t expect that Dong Ning, the lord of Yuecheng County, and so many Taiweizong disciples rushed to Meiwubao from Xuegong to celebrate the New Year—Chai Rong, Jie Wenzhuo, Xie Wenchan, etc. The others who usually hide from Chen Hai are also among them.

Chen Xuanzhen and Ge Xuanqiao stood above the Qiuye River to reminisce about the old days, and then flew to the Taolin River Beach outside Taohuawu. Chen Hai asked Qi Hanjiang and the others to continue to drink and eat meat. He, Wu Meng and Ge Tong pushed open the Chaimen Walk to the river beach.

At this time, Chen Xuanzhen was standing on the river beach, taking out a four-legged chess board from the wide sleeves of his robe and placing it on the river beach, apparently prepared.

Chen Xuanzhen then took out two wooden chairs from the sleeves of his robe~IndoMTL.com~ and handed them to Ge Xuanqiao. The two sat down by the chessboard. He looked at everyone and finally fell on Chen Lie’s face. He took out a chair from the sleeve of his robe and placed it next to the chess table, saying: "Come and sit..."

"The younger generation dare not be rude." Chen Lie said curtly.

"Sooner or later, you will be a member of my generation. Sitting a few days earlier will not hinder anything." Chen Xuanzhen said grimly, and appointed Chen Lie to sit over.

Chen Lie was given the madness of Chen Xuanzhen to sit, but Dong Pan could only stand and watch chess. Naturally, he would not be happy, but it is difficult to figure out what Chen Xuanzhen meant was that Chen Lie could step into the Dao Dan realm at any time. I think Chen Lie really wants to be able to cultivate Dao Dan, and his position in the Wuwei Army and Taiweizong is not the same as that of his subordinate of the Dong family-so he is slightly more balanced in his heart.

Chen Xuanzhen pulls Chen Lie to sit down, but still keeps his hands in his hands. He keeps pulling out the red clay stove, small tables, a set of tea sets, and tea pots from the sleeves of the bottomless robe, and he puts aside his true disciple Tu Ziji. No, take out a three or four-foot tall copper pot with a big belly, throw it directly at Chen Hai who is walking down the river beach, and greet him:

"Look at your baby who is tall and strong, strong and strong. It should be strong. Help us get a pot of spiritual spring water and chop a few mahogany trees to pour tea..."

Hi, mother, if I see Laozi’s destiny, shouldn’t I be crying and begging Laozi to worship you as a teacher? How come I only get the job of cutting wood and making tea?

Furthermore, Chen Hai came to this strange world inexplicably. He practiced martial arts, learned how to ride and shoot, studied casting, and sculpting, but he had never touched the tea ceremony alone, and he didn't know the rules of chopping wood and pouring tea.

Of course, Chen Hai just thought about it in his heart. No matter how wronged and unwilling, he can only reach out to pick up the big-bellied copper pot that has been thrown in front of him, but he did not expect the big-bellied copper pot to be surprisingly heavy. His arms sank and he was almost staggered...
