20. Growing Pains(1/2)

Chen Qiu walked briskly across this small forest.

In his mind, Qingqing told him the past few days about the Tiance Army, which was related to Lu Buju.

Before Lord Dutong was killed by Chen Qiu, when he evaluated the Southern Dynasties, he said that the Tiance Army was the last group of real men in the Southern Dynasties.

This sentence is not nonsense. Even the Southern Dynasty people who are honest and well-known, think so.

In the 24th year of Yonghe in the previous dynasty, the early years of Zhengding in the Southern Dynasty.

The Northern Dynasties attacked the territory of Da Chu, and all other fronts were defeated, but only the Tiance Army could hold on. In the case of a disadvantage in numbers, the army defeated the Northern Dynasties three times over Dasan Pass, and severely defeated its sharpness.

He also pursued 3,000 elite troops from the General Li Shouguo at night, defeating the Hanzhong camp of the Northern Dynasties and regaining the Guanzhong area of ​​Chang'an.

Relying on seven battles and seven victories, the elite group of soldiers who dared to fight forced themselves to fight the Northern Dynasties cavalry ran away with their heads in their arms.

They even approached the Yanjing area for a while, which scared Yelu Chong, the hero of the Northern Dynasty, to mobilize other fronts to rush back to Yanjing to deploy defenses.

This gave the Southern Dynasty a chance to breathe.

It was also the victory of the Tiance Army, which gave former Chu General Zhao Hu the opportunity to usurp the throne.

In the early years of Zhengding, Zhao Hu saw that the people of the Northern Dynasties were forced to retreat by the Tiance army, so he took advantage of the situation to lead his troops to recover the land of Qi and Lu, and then entered Lin'an with the momentum of great victory.

As a result, on the eve of entering the city, a fire broke out in the Lin'an Palace in Dachu, and the former Chu Shao Emperor and his wife and daughter disappeared or were dead.

Zhao Hu then regarded Lin'an as the capital and claimed to be the lord of the Southern Dynasty.

It is really impossible to fight against the enemy in war, but it is a match for two to start a conspiracy.

What is even more ridiculous is that the Tiance army was an elite of the border army of the previous dynasty, and it had nothing to do with the Southern Dynasty established by Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu didn't know how much effort it took to make the Tiance Army accept his reward.

Now the Tiance Army is stationed in Guanzhong, and his attitude towards the so-called Southern Dynasties is to follow the tune and not the prophecy, but the people are quite respectful and loving to the last strong army of the Southern Dynasties.

Look, the border soldiers who defended their families and the country looked down on the so-called Southern Dynasties.

So, the officials should have a rough impression of this court that is in a prosperous place in Jiangnan.

But it was precisely because of the chaos in the Southern Dynasty that the martial arts world flourished.

In any normal and healthy regime, things like knights should not exist.

After all, heroes violate the ban with martial arts, while Confucians use literature to disrupt the law.

From Lord Dutong, Chen Qiu knew that his cheap master Lu Bugui was probably a member of the Tiance Army that defeated the Northern Dynasties back then.

Moreover, from this so-called Tiance Breaking Array Axe that is not used by the direct line, we can see that the master's status in the Tiance Army was definitely not low.

But why did he finally have to hide his identity and live in a small half-dead escort agency, and even unwilling to be on the list of the world, making him famous?

There may be too many of them.

All kinds of strange guesses kept popping up in Chen Qiu's mind, but because he still had too little knowledge of the world, he could not understand a logical guess at all.

"Forget it, don't think about it."

Chen Qiu was carrying a geese feather knife and carrying a bow. He patted his head to wake up, and he said:

"I went to Suzhou to inquire. The sister Yaoqin who always hangs beside Qingqing's mouth is the 'Chairman's escort agency. She should know something."

He looked up at the woods in front of him.

Master Bianqi said that it makes sense not to enter the forest when walking on the ward.

Even if it is a small forest, no one knows what is happening inside. Maybe I was unlucky and encountered a litter of wild boars?

Even if there are no beasts, it will be a bad result if you are bitten by poisonous snakes.

What's more, there may be dangerous people hiding deep in the forest.

For example, bandits who robbed the Tao and so on.

However, the forest chosen by Chen Qiu is only thirty feet in radius and sparse trees, which probably does not have the above danger.

And in this ancient times, the environment was really good and there were many wild animals.

Chen Qiu just walked around the forest and caught a gray rabbit and found a few bamboo shoots.

It is almost autumn now, and it is the time when bamboo shoots are the most juicy and taste the best.

He also cut a few bamboo joints, which not only facilitated the use of water, but also made some bamboo tube rice for the greedy little girl.

However, there seems to be not much rice, but it doesn’t matter. According to Qingqing, you will be able to arrive in Luoyang in three days.

It is the most prosperous city in Henan, and you have to pass two small towns along the way, and you can buy enough rice.

As for the cost...

Not to mention the "passionate" black guards gave free of charge, the scattered silver was filled with green purses.

Before they left, the mountain ghost also gave them a large bag of broken silver.

He can't use it in the mountains. He always kills people and collects things. Over the years, the broken silver he has accumulated is a very terrible amount.

How scary is it?

When Chen Qiuchu saw the bag of broken silver, he wanted to ask Shan Gui, brother, how many Northern Dynasties soldiers have you killed?

If God was a native of the Northern Dynasty, like the mountain ghost, he would have been killed by the heavenly punishment.

Chen Qiu was thinking that when he passed Luoyang, he would find a business to exchange the silver for silver notes.

He walked through the woods, climbed up a hill quickly, and looked into the distance. In the past three days, he had begun to learn Lei Gongxinjue and rushed to the two acupoints in his eyes, which improved his vision a lot.

He could vaguely see a small river in front of him, and there seemed to be women washing clothes by the river, and children playing beside the women.

Further apart, under the hills, there is a village full of shadows, and smoke rising at this time.

This scene made Chen Qiu feel quite moved.

You can't see this scene full of life in Taihang Mountains. There is no such peaceful scenery near Taihang, which is like a ghost.

He stood on the hill, looking at the sky and clouds, he couldn't help but open his arms, as if he wanted to embrace this strange world, which was like a scene on earth.

Unfortunately, this world is still slightly different from the China China in his memory.

In his memory, there seemed to be no Funiu Mountain near Luoyang, and it seemed that it was not that close to Luoyang from Taihang to riding a horse.

Qingqing said that Luoyang has a prosperous pier.

But in Shen Qiu's memory, Luoyang does not seem to be famous for its wharf, after all, it is the hinterland of the Central Plains.

so...

"It just looks like it, it sounds like it."

Chen Qiu sighed helplessly, and he said:

"In fact, it's not the same thing, just like a random building block, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the distant Mongolian tribes. Haha, will there be a Japanese pirate country in the future?"

His mind ran away, but he still didn't forget the main business.

There is also a young lady Qingqing who is hungry for feeding.

Soon, Chen Qiu brought back his prey, a fish, and a few bamboo tubes, and Qingqing set fire. This was her job in the kitchens of the two, and it was basically the only job she could do.

This girl is very smart. She learns everything quickly and learns Chen Qiu's "strange words". She is just a mess of cooking skills, and she can cook two layers of pot crumbs even if she cooks a rice.

When baking potatoes, I almost smashed the pot of Shan Gui...

Fortunately, the mountain ghost doesn’t pay attention to these things, otherwise it would be a fatal disaster.

"Well, I'm full."

When the sun sets, Qingqing girl wiped her mouth with satisfaction and ate two large portions of bamboo rice, which made Qingqing extremely satisfied. She planned to fall asleep with the satisfaction of her fullness.

But he was pulled up by Chen Qiu.

"It's time to practice martial arts."

The senior brother took the Yanling Knife with a stern face, and Qingqing curled his lips, but did not dare to resist.

As a person in the world, he is still necessary to practice martial arts every day and work hard.

However, just as Chen Qiu finished playing a decent Guiyan sword technique, he saw Qingqing rushing towards the forest behind him with his stomach covering his stomach. The girl was blushing and must have had a bad stomach.

“Bring toilet paper!”

Chen Qiu shouted helplessly.

Fortunately, toilet paper appeared in this strange world a hundred years ago, and it was simple to make, although it felt bad.

However, because of the cheapness, even people like Shan Gui who are not humane can afford it.

Well, it was the mountain people who "respected" him.

The toilet paper in this world is said to be a thing made by people who are cultivating immortals.

Chen Qiu really thanks the immortal cultivator who was so tired that he went to study toilet paper.

Otherwise, when Chen Qiu really thought of having to use ropes or stones to solve his physiological problems when he came over, he would have to commit suicide on the spot.

After all, how can the chrysanthemums be so delicate?
