Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

  Chapter 175 [Entrustment of Liu Xiuwen]

  After getting rid of the shackles on his body, Liu Xiuwen felt a lot more relaxed. He picked up the shackles with some disgust, put them on the table, and prepared to put them on before going out tomorrow.

  Fang Chang also tasted the tea brought by Hu Xueqiu.

  The taste of this tea is really good. Although it is not comparable to the self-made variety on Xianqi Cliff, it is still top-grade, but there are many broken pieces, which float on the surface of the tea and need to be gently blown before drinking.

   "Liu Hanlin, why were you implicated? Why is your wife here too."

   Putting down the teacup, Fang Chang asked.

  Liu Xiuwen leaned back slightly on the chair, as if he could only get some rest today:

   "That's a long story."

   "Two months ago, Zuo Lang Zhongling couldn't bear the emperor's absurd behavior, so he gathered a group of officials who felt the same, tested the people around them, connected in private, and signed a letter together."

"I am studying common affairs in the Hanlin Garden, which is the knowledge that I need to use after I become an official. The courses are not heavy, and I have enough spare time to pay attention to the affairs of the world. After hearing the content of this book, I also feel that I have a mission, so a prop name, to persuade the king."

   "Who knows, the power of the government has long been left behind. Although this joint memorial is huge, after it was handed in, there was not even a splash. Hehe, maybe the emperor didn't even see it."

   "The consequences were very serious. The enemy counterattacked very quickly. Those of us who wrote our names counted as one, and we were all directly arrested and sentenced to exile."

"Before leaving, Xueqiu couldn't bear to part, and she couldn't bear to see me being sent to the frontier alone, so she sent back the servants at home and asked them to go back to their hometown in Huaifeng Mansion by themselves, and then walked with me. Take care."

"Originally, sir, you know that she has different identities and can rescue me, and the husband and wife will fly away together, but I did not agree. Being demoted for the country and the people is a supreme honor. If she absconds halfway, what will the people of the world think? ? This is definitely not the right way."

   Talking about this, he was sometimes righteously indignant and sometimes solemn, and finally looked at his wife lovingly.

  Fang Chang nodded.

   This cause and effect is very simple, but not trivial.

  No matter what era, there are people who work hard, those who work hard, those who plead for the people, and those who sacrifice their lives to seek the law...they are the backbone of the world.

   Also using that pseudonym is better known than the daimyo, that name is placed after the dash, and the preceding sentence immediately becomes a famous saying, even the "official history" made for emperors, generals and ministers often cannot conceal their brilliance.

  But everyone has their own way, he just sighed, and then asked: "How is the situation in the capital? How many people are already the other party's people?"

Liu Xiuwen thought for a while, and said: "At the end of my official position, I don't have much communication, and I don't understand it comprehensively. First of all, the emperor's close eunuchs should have changed. Among the left and right ministers who are currently in charge of the government, the right minister seems to be Surrender to the enemy. The rest of the ministries, the Ministry of Officials, the Division of Criminal Names, and the Division of Military Bing are still strong and have not fallen, but most of their speeches have fallen. There are also chief officials of various states, and many of them behave abnormally in their words and deeds."

  Fang Chang thought for a while. He didn't know much about government affairs, so he could only judge with common sense: "That's not bad. The situation is not so bad that it cannot be saved. At least there is still a balance of power."

Liu Hanlin on the opposite side was rather pessimistic. He shook his head, and the other party said: "But judging from the trend, we are still retreating steadily. It is only a matter of time before our complete demise. By then, maybe those of us who have been dispatched to the border areas , will be completely liquidated.”

  At the end, when he left the house to see him off, he asked Fang Chang to say:

"Mr. is a man of great power. We mortals who have been relegated can only drift with the tide and are powerless to fight against the tide of the world. I hope that Mr. can save the people of the world and investigate who is doing what. If we can take action to stop one or two , even more meritorious deeds."

   After finishing speaking, the scholar Liu Xiuwen bowed to the ground and stood up for a long time.

   When he raised his head, he saw that Fang Chang had already left.

   Full of doubts, he went back to the house without mentioning it.

   Fortunately, no guards ran into him, and he was not found to have taken off the shackles without permission.

  ...

   "Mr. Fang is coming to eat soon." Seeing Fang Chang approaching, Yu Qingling shouted cheerfully.

   "Okay, I'm here." Fang Chang responded and walked to the table.

  Yu Qingling and Liu Yuande watched him take a seat, so they pulled out their chairs and sat down. They waited for Fang Chang, and chose a table instead of having dinner with other leaders.

  The meals on the table are a bit rich, but the prices are all very affordable.

Vegetables are all in season, except for a plate of fried lotus root, it is nothing more than cabbage, radish and beans, some are fried with sliced ​​meat, some are just dipped in vinegar and vinegar, and there is also a large plate of spinach with a lot of chicken, which looks very oily in yellow and green. tempting.

  Besides a large bucket of corn and rice, there are several cakes, steamed buns, and three bowls of clear bone soup with a few oil stars floating around.

   This **** operation was funded by righteous people in Beijing. Although the money is very abundant, everyone has been careful and careful, and has never acted extravagantly.

   After a day of driving, everyone except Fang Chang was a bit tired. They didn't say much, and they all lowered their heads and ate vigorously, but there was no waste. Soon the dishes were cleaned up, and only some soup was left.

  People in Jianghu are generally good at eating, including Yu Qingling, who looks weak in appearance, even ate two big bowls of millet rice, and even ate a white flour cake.

   "Sir, your room is diagonally opposite. I'll show you there later." Liu Yuande said.

   "Okay, thank you."

  Mountain village nightclub, although dilapidated but still clean, it seems that some care has been taken in the environment.

  However, due to the sudden acceptance of many tourists, the shop owner and shop assistants are still a little at a loss under the pressure. There is a shortage of supplies, and even hot water can only be obtained in line.

   Seeing this, Fang Chang didn't fight with others at all. Instead, he slapped a few descaling techniques on his body and walked into the courtyard. There is an extremely tall locust tree here, about the thickness of two people hugging each other, and it is estimated to be hundreds of years old.

  He jumped lightly, found a tree branch and lay down, staring at the night sky and the moonlight.

  Today, the moon is very good, and it sprinkles like water, making the cold night more peaceful.

  There are small towns littered with lights not far below, which makes them seem very far away.

  It is very high here, and you can see the fields in the distance beyond the surrounding roof ridges. With your square eyesight, no matter the trees, mounds, or fields in the distance, they are all as clear as day.

  But the hazy night makes everything look different from the day after all.

  Since he entered the path of practice, today is the first time he has thought so much and for so long. Fang Chang knew clearly that this was the big decision he was about to face.

  What is your position in this catastrophe?

  Should I accept Liu Xiuwen's entrustment?

   There are two protagonists, what should I do next?

  He is thinking.

   Thank you Sha Jianzhi for the reward.
