Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 376 375. No time

There are about fifty or sixty carriages.

As a person who has dealt with horses all year round, Pegasus City naturally has its own set of experiences on how to identify the number of horses, the weight of the carriage, and so on.

Shang Nian just glanced at it and judged that it was definitely not some kind of food and supplies.

In this battle, regardless of Pegasus City, the Sui Army took [-] soldiers as the vanguard to break through the Huozhou City Gate.But after the war turned into a tug-of-war, although Feng Yi and Beidi did not send troops, they provided food and grass in time. In addition to the baggage carried by Pegasus City itself, the Sui army did not lack food and grass at all.

Although the carriages were all covered by tarpaulins, because it had just rained in the past two days, the ground was covered with potholes and mud, and the ruts were clearly visible.

Just looking at the rut marks, it can be estimated that the weight distribution of the objects on the carriage is uneven.

At the same time, the silhouette also appears eccentric.

There are long rods, irregular blocks, and so on.

"what is that……?"

He couldn't help mumbling.

After Shang Chong glanced aside, he said:
"Is it possible to build a house here? I see that there are many wooden beams on the car."

The two of them were puzzled, and watched helplessly as the team walked to the Chinese army camp.

Waiting until they couldn't see each other, the two brothers and sisters looked at each other...

Shrug each other.

Who knows what it is.

Whatever it does...

However, before the next day, in the afternoon, in the dense drizzle, everyone in the wounded barracks saw another group of people in coir raincoats entering the Chinese army tent.

When they came out again, some soldiers had already carved out a tent area just for them.

Then, there was a strange layer of fog in that area, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside.Only occasionally can see a flash of light.

Although everyone was curious, the army strictly ordered any soldiers to investigate.

There isn't even a need for a food delivery guy in that area.All the cooks were also puzzled... Do these people not eat?

……

Yishui.

Songxian River Section.

On the official road, Li Zhen looked at the crowds of people by the river from a distance, and a little tiredness finally appeared in his eyes.

He is also human.

It can be said that it is almost a sleepless "cattle and horse" thing for a month, which made his body reach a point of exhaustion.

If he hadn't held on to his breath and wanted to run somewhere to rest, then he might have found an inn to sleep for three days and three nights on the way.

And now he finally found a team of civilian husbands who cleared the silt... Although he didn't go home, for some reason, the tone in his heart suddenly relaxed.Now the exhaustion of the whole body seems to be imprisoned by thousands of shackles, so he just wants to find Xuan Suning quickly, tell her about the two counties, and then fall asleep.

So, chasing Lei, who had also lost more than a circle of weight during these days of eating and sleeping, got off the official road with another oolong who didn't know his real name, and headed all the way to the soil beside the row of tents by the river. Room ran.

His movement attracted the attention of some overseer soldiers, and some of those soldiers even wanted to ride over and ask who came.

But suddenly saw a few officials running out of the earthen house.

Standing by the side of the road, he even put on a greeting.

This group of soldiers quickly looked back, what should they do.

And Li Zhen looked at the officials who came out and looked towards him, and seemed to understand something, and the speed was three points faster.

Finally, he arrived in front of these seven or eight people.

After getting off his horse with his exhausted body, he heard one of the leading officials say:
"Master Shouchu, I am in charge of dredging the Yishui River this time. Zheng Tianfeng, a member of the Ministry of Water Affairs, knows the arrival of the leader. I am far away from welcoming you. I hope you will forgive me."

Hearing Zheng Tianfeng's words, Li Zhen quickly saluted:

"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, Yuanwailang is too polite, and I don't dare to be a poor Daoist. I don't know... Is Teacher Pindao here?"

Zheng Tianfeng nodded:

"It's Gao Gong who is waiting for the sound transmission, and I am waiting for the Taoist priest in the quiet room at this moment. Taoist priest, please."

"Thank you, Yuanwailang."

Li Zhen arched his hands, and now he couldn't care less, and walked into the yard with his tired body.

Before entering the door, he heard the chant beside Yi Shui.

Turning his head and taking a look, he saw a group of peasants carrying some logs or holding stones walking towards Yishui.

He didn't say anything, and when he entered the yard directly, he sensed an aura.

There is no need to mention, following the Qi machine, he came to the house on the side of the main hall, walked to the door, tidied up his fairly clean clothes, and shouted:

"Teacher, the disciple has come in."

He opened the wooden door, and at a glance, he saw the female priest sitting cross-legged on the bed and looking at him, who seemed unchanged from a month ago.

Seeing the "acquaintance", Li Zhen couldn't help showing a smile.

But a month ago, Taoist's smile could be described as "clean".But after a month, Xuan Su Ning silently looked at his disciple with a smile, because of the protruding cheekbones, there were several wrinkles in the corners of the eyes, and the calm eyes couldn't help a layer of waves.

He has lost a lot of weight.

It was also much darker.

Before he left, he still looked clean, but now after he came back, a tinge of purplish red had appeared on his face.

This is caused by frequent exposure to the sun.

At the same time, because of his sudden thinness, his neck seemed to have grown a lot.

Coupled with the baggy clothes on his body, the whole person is like a reed that will collapse when the wind blows.

From head to toe, Xuan Suning observed slowly.

And when she saw that her disciple's shoes were all torn, exposing the toes inside, for some reason, she knew that he had suffered a lot outside, but she felt a kind of... indescribable pride in her heart.

This sense of pride is strange.

It came out of thin air.

But it made her shoulders straighter for no reason.

Just now.

Maybe he noticed that the female Taoist was looking at his leaky shoes... Li Zhen's toes were a little cramped and wanted to retract.

But where can it shrink?
Can only fasten in vain.

But such a buckle doesn't matter, the female Taoist sitting cross-legged on the bed suddenly had a smile on her face.

It seems to have seen something extremely interesting.

Laughing is that the sun and the moon are bleak, and the mountains and rivers are eclipsed.

It seems that the peerless and isolated fairy in the picture scroll came back to life, with the fireworks of the world.

For no reason, Li Zhen became more and more embarrassed by her smile.

However, when the smiling female Taoist saw her disciple's sparkling and incomparably clear eyes again, she couldn't help asking:
"Is it all done?"

"Ok!"

Speaking of this, the Taoist, who can't even take care of his fatigue, is full of satisfaction and prosperity:

"The lands of Shangluo and Hongnong counties... are all done. Jingzhao didn't go because I met a judge from the Prison Division. The two of us went together, and he told me that Jingzhao didn't have much to go there. Necessary. It saves some time."

Xuan Suning nodded:

"Hmm... have you practiced yet?"

What she said was that she taught him the method of exercising divine thoughts from "Along with the Light and Dust".

"Harmony with the Light and the Dust", the untold secret of Xuan Junguan.

It is the first-class practice method in the world.

Although she didn't tell her disciples how powerful this exercise is, she didn't even mention that the method of exercising divine thoughts came from "Harmony with Light and Dust".

but……

He is his disciple.

As a teacher, don't hide your secrets.

If it is passed on, it is passed on.

what?

A piece of exercise was passed on to a disciple who cared about all the people in the world and was dedicated to goodness.

She didn't think there was anything wrong.

but……

"No."

Under the calm eyes of the Taoist woman, Li Zhen didn't see any regrets on her face, or she was dodging with guilt.Instead, he shook his head frankly:

"No time to practice."

"..."

To be very frank, if I put it in the hands of others, I am afraid that I will be given the reputation of being lazy and not working hard.

However, when the Taoist said it, with his high cheekbones, purple face, increasingly slender neck, and that pair of ragged and leaky shoes...

Xuan Suning immediately understood the meaning behind the disciple's words of "no time to practice".

So, there is no peace.

The female Taoist's eyes gradually softened.

The tone is also full of softness:
"Shou Chu."

"The disciple is here."

"This journey... Thank you for your hard work."

"I can't talk about hard work or hard work. To tell the truth from the teacher, I feel more at ease."

After Li Zhen shook her head, she seemed to have something else to say to Xuan Suning.

But after opening his mouth, no words came out, he just shook his head:
"Then... Teacher, the disciple should go to sleep first. I don't know... but there is still room available?"

"Although it's up to you to pick and choose, I will explain the rest to the water officer."

Upon hearing this, it seems that there is no vacant house.

Li Zhen shook his head:

"Farewell then...I still have luggage soon, so I can sleep right away. Then I won't bother the teacher, and the disciple will leave."

"……Um."

Xuan Suning didn't persuade her to stay.

Today is the third day of dredging in Song County, and there are indeed no more houses left.

However, in about two days, the dredging of the river in Songxian County will be completed, and one more house will be built when we go to Luhun.

only……

"Shou Chu."

Seeing the disciple who was about to close the door, the female Taoist stopped him.

"what?"

Because of exhaustion, Li Zhen's eye sockets were a little sunken after his breath was completely relaxed.

Looking at Xuan Suning, just wondering what the other party was going to say, he heard a sentence:
"Thanks for your hard work."

"Ah."

Nodding, Li Zhen closed the door.

Seeing the two oolongs that had been led into the yard, he walked over and gave a command:
"Please feed the two laymen more fodder and water, I'm tired."

In the cramped and curious bow of the two servants, Li Zhen took off the set of equipment for the field camp in Pegasus City, and Li Zhen walked out directly.

Before going far, he hung the felt steps above his head between the outer wall of the courtyard and the grass with an iron hook against the courtyard wall, forming an inclined arc. Straw sandals.

Li Laodao, whose feet were covered in black mud, didn't care so much anymore, and lay down on the bunk with a burden on his pillow. Within a few breaths, the snoring sounded.

And it is almost the effort of the front and rear feet.

A flash of light and shadow flickered.

His body was covered with a shiny mink fur.

Light and shadow disappear.

They disappeared together with the pair of leaky shoes.
