Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 656
Yiling, located in the west of Xiangguo, is the remaining vein of Taihang.There are many mountains and mountains in this area, stretching to the west, and there are many beautiful places.

Among the ravines and valleys, where the vegetation is thriving, there are some large and small Wubi manors scattered here and there.Some of the owners of these manors are good families from the Jin Dynasty, and some are miscellaneous men who moved here. For example, in the early years, a group of solitary people from the Western Regions, whose leader was named king, and the family settled here. , has been farming mulberry in leisure time for more than ten years.

Located in an inconspicuous manor in the bend of the river, Qian Feng stood with his hands behind his back under the corridor of a wooden hall, looking over the wall to the rolling mountains in the distance.

He didn't cover his face to cover the criss-crossing scars on his face, and it was even more ferocious under the afterglow of the setting sun, but his eyes were deep and his clothes fluttered in the wind, diluting the ferocious arrogance on his face. There is a bit of free and easy dust.

There was a commotion of footsteps in the hall at the back. Four or five young men ranging in age from seven or eight to their twenties walked out of the room, and when they came to Qian Feng's side, they all worshiped with discipleship.Qian Feng turned his head and waved his hands in response.

Seeing the criss-crossing scars on his face, the two young boys couldn't help showing a bit of fear on their faces.The other two older ones were full of curiosity, and frequently peeked at him, but it was difficult to see anything from this gentleman's face.

This Mr. Qian came home with an elder who went out a month ago, and he has stayed at home since then. After that, he was dismissed as an idler by his parents, and his children were asked to come here every day as a teacher. Literacy.

For such an arrangement, the young naughty boy is fine, and dare not disobey his parents.But the two older ones were a little unhappy, and they didn't quite recognize this elder who was extra out of thin air.But one day there were miscellaneous beards intruding outside Ri Zhuang, and Zhuang Ding resisted. They saw this Mr. Qian came out of the manor armed with weapons and killed two Kong Wu powerful miscellaneous beards. Only then did they realize that this gentleman is not a mediocre .

Not only are they proficient in martial arts, but also profound in learning, even if the youngsters have little knowledge and only see a corner of their surroundings in their lives, they also know that this gentleman must have an extraordinary background, so they are naturally full of curiosity, but they dare not ask.

After the young men had left, Qian Feng stood silently for a moment in the corridor, and a middle-aged man in a deep cloth robe came across, and from a distance, he cupped his hands and smiled at Qian Feng: "Mr. Have you ever bothered me too much?"

Qian Feng also stepped forward to welcome the middle-aged man into the room with a smile, and handed over the homework left on Jane by those young men today.Although this manor also has a lot of low income, it is not so extravagant that it needs to use paper, which is now expensive in the north, for the children to study.

The middle-aged man is only proficient in writing and ink, and the bamboo slips are stained with ink. Occasionally, he saw a few clear handwriting, and he smiled, and said with a smile: "Mr. I'm tired."

"For those who survived the calamity, I am grateful for being sheltered. I am grateful to have a place to stay for a while. I just try my best to teach useless learning, and I just hope that I don't mislead my disciples. Feng Jun is too polite."

After hearing the words, Qian Feng smiled and said modestly.

"Mr. Qian is really ashamed to say that. The Han family is poor, and it is an honor for Mr. Rong to live here."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man sighed again: "A few days ago, my brother-in-law led his family to the capital, and I also asked my relatives to find out whether my husband's relatives have returned here. But now this place is not a paradise, Zhuhu... er, wandering around Food and drink, my family is not a high-profile family in the local area, and the involvement is limited, and it is really uncertain whether we can get news."

"The world has collapsed so far, and it's a fluke to survive. Whether you can see the old people again is just a little obsession. Because of my affairs, it's really frightening to bother your relatives."

After Qian Feng heard the words, he let out a miserable laugh, and his expression was not lacking in despondency.The affection was sincere, as if there were real family members who were displaced by the disaster and lived in their arms.

After a few words of pleasantries, the man's eyes darkened, as if he wanted to talk about the important point of the meeting, and asked in an ordinary manner: "The strict master of Taoism, Mr. Qian, does Mr. Qian know where the fairy trail is?"

After Qian Feng heard the words, he shook his head, and sighed, "Master Yan is out of the ordinary, and occasionally dabbles in the mundane world. It's already difficult for people to admire. I really don't know where I am."

"It's a pity. Now, His Majesty the Emperor has won the throne. He has sent ceremonies to all directions, and has repeatedly visited sages. Although I haven't seen Yan Shijun's grand appearance, but from what my brother said, I know that he is an auspicious scholar. It can't be known by others. , It is a great pity."

Hearing this person's emotional words, Qian Feng's eyes flickered undetectably, so he sighed along with him.

Then the man asked Zhuang Nu to buy wine and dishes, and eat with Qian Feng. There were many people in the banquet who showed off and flicked the slightly cloudy wine in the pottery bowls and said with a smile: "In recent years, the ban on alcohol has been very strict, and the fewer people who can make wine .Although my family is not a rich family in the local area, it is also our own strategy to establish a family in Kinki. Sir, you don’t have to worry about living here.”

When it was time to hold the lamp after a meal, the man raised his hand to say goodbye, Qian Feng sent the gift out, and when he returned, he saw a figure flickering outside the wall under the night, so he smiled, and then went back to rest.

Qian Feng was lying on the bed with his clothes together, and his fingers were slightly sketching on the bed. Many thoughts were circulating in his heart, and he couldn't sleep for a long time.

It took him nearly two months to go north and reach the vicinity of Xiangguo. There were not many twists and turns on the road. Although Jie Nu had already included China in China in name, in fact, except for the vicinity of his old nest, he had little control over the area.Except for some important places in big towns that are heavily guarded by troops, the rest of the places are still in the hands of the Haozong.

But this does not mean that it is easy to penetrate into the core of Jie Nu, on the contrary, there is nothing to do at all.

The northern land is different from the southern land, and there are relationships like a spider's web that can be used.When Qian Fengbei came, everything had to be started from scratch, except for getting a connection with Shi Jilong from Huang Quan, there was almost nothing to rely on.

And even Shi Jilong's line is actually not safe, you can't put all your hopes on it.After all, it is too hopeless to gain the trust of a person of that status based on just a message and a token.

So on the way, Qian Feng separated the people on the trip and let Xin Bin lead some of them to Xiangguo to meet Shihu, while he went out to find other opportunities.

Between the two parties, Qian Feng did not agree on any communication channels and signals, nor did he arrange any fixed tasks for Xin Bin, which was entirely up to him.After all, this kind of activities going deep into the enemy's country cannot avoid frequent accidents, and life may be lost at any time. Except for adapting to the situation, any weekly plan is nonsense.

Therefore, Qian Feng is completely unaware of what is going on at Xin Bin's place.As for him, he hasn't even found a specific way to go to Xiangguo, and he is just staying outside temporarily.

The turbulence in the Northland is more severe than that in the Jiangdong, so even ordinary people are full of vigilance.Qian Feng's origin is unknown, and even though his accent can be faked, the details of his words, deeds, and living habits all show that he is an out-and-out Southerner.The more camouflage, the more flaws, and there is nothing to hide with a little contact.

Instead, be frank.After all, despite the confrontation between the North and the South, there are frequent exchanges of personnel in private.Therefore, Qian Feng did not conceal his identity as a southerner, but only as a family fleeing from the north who failed in the Jiangdong struggle. He did not even conceal his old identity and used the pseudonym Qian Yi.But just as Jiangdong is unfamiliar with Jiangbei's characters, Jiangbei also doesn't know much about Jiangdong's affairs.

The family he is currently living in temporarily is a rural family in the suburbs of Xiangguo. The owner's surname is Feng, and it is not a prominent family.The reason for coming here is also a coincidence.

Taking Yan Mu to the north was just Qian Feng's occasional interest.The Tao of Heavenly Masters was cleared in Jiangdong, and there was a lot of commotion, and many people fled north.Yan Mu is well-known in Jiangdong, but he has no old reputation in Jiangbei, but he does have a certain ability to put on airs, and he has won the approval of local people all the way to the north, which has added a lot of convenience to the north.

So Qian Feng simply focused on Yan Mu, and pretended to be his disciple, followed him along the way, and traveled to Linzhang, Yecheng, where they separated from each other and let him travel by himself.Yan Muneng has gained a high reputation in Jiankang, where there are many crowns in the north and south, and Qian Feng is not worried that he has no means.

Although the northern land is already a country of Jie slaves, the rich families of Jin people in the local area have not been wiped out.As long as Yan Mu is not in a daze and directly rushes at the slave thief, he will not have no shelter.

As for whether Yan Mu can be trusted, Qian Feng is not worried.Even if he betrayed himself, it would not do him any good. Instead, he would be exposed as suspicious, or he would be killed.

Because of Yan Mu, Qian Feng got acquainted with the Feng family in Yecheng, and came here directly because of the invitation.As for the attendants around him, most of them were handed over to Yan Mu, leaving only five or six people around.If there is real danger, these people are naturally not enough to protect.But having said that, if something dangerous happened, even if he brought all the Longxi soldiers of the Shen family, it would not help.

After staying in Feng's house for many days, Qian Feng didn't change anything, and seemed to live here at ease.Although this Feng family is not a big family, they are also very vigilant. Apart from sending people to watch day and night, they rarely mention their family background.

The plan to sneak into Xiangguo seems to be at a standstill, but Qian Feng is also calm.In such an environment, it is much more important not to ask for faults than to seek merits!

But today Feng Chang, the owner of the Feng family, revealed that his family brewed privately. This is very good news for Qian Feng. It means that after a long period of observation, this family has the intention to accept him.

Although this Feng family is not an extraordinary family, if it can be accepted by it, it means that Qian Feng's origin in this town is no longer unknown, and he has a traceable starting point.This is really crucial for the next step of planning.

In a turbulent world, having a proven history means a certain degree of credibility.Highly respected, even if the children live outside, but with the old prestige of the county, it will be easier to gain trust and survive in many cases.

Although the Feng family is not a prestigious family, as Feng Chang said, his family has its own means to gain a foothold here.This is of great significance to Qian Feng who started from scratch.

Qian Feng was lying on the couch here to sum up his harvest, and in the other corner of this small manor, there were several people sitting in a group, and one of them was the middle-aged Feng Chang who had previously sat and ate with Qian Feng.

"This Mr. Qian is indeed a talented person. Both civil and military are impressive, and his style and bearing are not vulgar. If he is not living outside, it would be too difficult for my family to make friends with such people."

Feng Chang didn't hide his admiration for Qian Feng in his words, Nian Xu said in a deep voice.

The people in the room are the Feng family brothers.The turmoil in the north is as far away as the east of the river, so the blood and family ties of the clan are stronger, and the families have not been separated for several generations, and they live in groups to protect themselves.This is the case from the wealthy family of Wangzong to the humble family.

"Brother, you really don't need to pay too much attention to this person. He's just a southern thief. Even if Bo has a family background, he can do nothing if he lives in a foreign country. If it wasn't for my family to adopt him, he would die in an instant."

The other person in the table had a dark face and callused hands, with a rather indifferent expression: "Besides, so what if he is considered the family of a prince in Nantu? My family is just keeping the household for self-protection, and we are constantly plowing the mulberry. Could it be that he can plow the fields for the cattle? If a It's troublesome, just drive it out."

"Qilang thinks so, it's a big mistake! The people of the country are cruel and have been abusing the villagers for a long time. Why should my family protect itself? It's not just plowing the fields. If it wasn't for the inheritance of ancestral skills, it would have been conscripted into the army! In such a world, my family is not a group of relatives and friends. If you want to survive, you should look outside!"

A short and strong man in another table said that this man is named Feng Rong, he is the direct brother of the head of the family, Feng Chang, and Qian Feng was invited by him.

Although the family is small, the brothers perform their own duties.Feng Chang, as the head of the family, lived in his hometown for a long time, and Feng Qi, the previous speaker, led the villagers to farm for a living.And Feng Rong, because of his flexible vision, travels abroad and uses his meager family business to make foreign aid.

There is no mystery to the fact that the Feng family can establish a stable village in this township and survive surrounded by miscellaneous people, it is nothing more than offering their daughters and skills.The Lord of Zhao wanted to promote great rule, so he strictly prohibited alcohol, so that there was no brewing in the workshop.But there are hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangguo's left and right neighbors, and there are also a large number of rebellious and unruly Jie slaves, many of whom are addicted to drinking, so how can they be restrained by laws alone.

There is no brewing in the workshop, but it is no secret that anyone with one or two businesses makes brewing in private.The Feng family has this family skill, and since it was discovered by those who are interested, they are forced to make wine. Although they dare not sell it outside to make a fortune, they can still keep their family members.Snakes, insects, rats and ants all have their own way, that's it.

Feng Rong opened his mouth, but everyone else was silent, after all, he was the most knowledgeable person in the whole family.

"The ban in the middle of the country is even stricter, and brewing is also dangerous. My family has to think about retreating, otherwise it is inevitable that the family will be ruined in an instant. Mr. Qian, regardless of his career, can know that he is extraordinary from the fact that he is a teacher in the Tao. The day before yesterday Many people have heard rumors that Master Yan is supernatural, and now the ruler of the country has been visiting a virtuous man for a long time, if he is famous and summons him, he is a man of magnanimity."

When Feng Rong spoke up to this point, his eyes were already bright: "Mr. Qian is a disciple of Master Yan. If my family has such protection, why not worry about being safe? What's more, even if you don't expect great luck, Mr. Qian is a talented person. It is also a good thing to be able to stay at home and raise children. Even if you don’t become an official, your children are all sensible, and no one dares to underestimate them!”

When everyone in the room heard this, they couldn't help thinking about it, and even Feng Qi, who had a lot of contempt for Qian Feng before, bowed his head in silence.

"Looking around for the past few days, Mr. Qian is not a strange person. Although his appearance is... among other things, this gentleman has his family, and they are all strong in martial arts. It is not a bad thing to support him at home!"

In the end, the head of the family, Feng Chang, said with a final word: "Mr. Qian's family is separated, and he must be lonely. In the past few days, other things are put aside, and the wife in the family will clean up and explain. If anyone catches the gentleman's attention, I will salute immediately."

So after another half a month, that Mr. Qian Yi changed from a temporary guest to the son-in-law of the Feng family.Although the status is fixed, the elders do not regard themselves as father-in-law, and still treat them with courtesy.

After becoming his own family, Qian Feng no longer restrained himself and took over many housework.Zhuangzi, with more than a hundred people in his area, naturally did not have any heavy affairs, and after Qian Feng took care of them, he was in order in an instant.Although the external environment has not improved, the atmosphere inside the village is completely new and full of vitality.

The elders of the Feng family naturally felt this change, including the head of the family, Feng Chang, who laughed a lot every day.Although in terms of age, the son-in-law who came to the door was one year older than him, but his talents were incomparable.Being able to manage the inside and outside, take care of the home, and educate the children, is simply omnipotent!
On this day, Feng Chang strolled to the place where the children at home were studying, and when he heard the sound of reading books, he couldn't help but beam with joy.Although this knowledge of classics and righteousness is of no benefit to guarding one's family and survival in this world, but now the Lord Zhao is governing benevolently, and the county school is established widely, and he does not judge people by their old reputation.

If his family's children can be selected... It's too far to think, but just listening to the sound of the book, Feng Chang is already relaxed and happy, and thinking about the old acquaintances in his hometown will give us different emotions.

Feng Chang poked his head to look, and saw that Mr. Qian sitting at the head was writing a book at his desk, so he didn't dare to disturb him.When he turned to look at his own children, his eyes couldn't help but condense, he rushed into the hand and knocked down the pen in the hand of a young man nearby, his eyes were fixed on the simple book case made of wood, on which was Spread out is a piece of square paper cut into more than a foot, which is white and smooth, and the twisted ink marks on it are even more eye-catching!

Qian Feng raised his head and looked up after hearing the sound, his brows were slightly frowned, and immediately opened, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, but he still said in a deep voice, "What's the matter, Uncle?"

"Uh, sir, where did this, this thing come from?"

Feng Chang picked up the piece of paper with two fingers, lifted it up carefully, turned his gaze to other books, there were also papers there, and there were many ink-stained balls of paper at the children's feet, so he couldn't help frowning.Paper things are useless and expensive, and his family didn't buy them at all.But what's going on now?

After Qian Feng heard the sound, he just waved his hands indifferently and said: "It's not easy to write with bamboo and wood. The autumn harvest is over, there are not many things to do in the fields, and it's boring to be free, so I let my family do a little work and made some miscellaneous papers for storage." Use, but it consumes some materials, is there something wrong?"

"This, is this homemade?"

Half a moment later, all the elders of the Feng family were standing in the small workshop built right under their noses, seeing the orderly work of the villagers inside and the finished paper products piled up on the side, they were all dumbfounded .

Recently, Qian Feng pays more for housework. Although they often heard that their family members were ordered to do some meaningless chores, they didn't pay much attention because they didn't delay their daily work, but they didn't expect such a big event to happen at home!
"These papers are all top-grade. Although they are useless to ordinary people, they are not without sales!"

Feng Rong, who is the most knowledgeable member of the Feng family, after appraising these finished papers, his eyes turned brilliant: "There are many old clans living in Chongren in the middle of the country. The country mainly promotes cultural governance, and it is also very courteous to them. My humble family has If this good product is delivered to your door, it will really help the family business a lot!"

Qian Feng stood aside silently, just listening to those people talking, although he was still expressionless, but he was also full of pride in his heart.In the early years, the Central Plains mostly regarded Wuzhong as a land of barbarians, but now the craftsmanship has been far surpassed by Jiangdong.

Although he is proficient in common affairs, he can't know all of them. The skills used by the Feng family are actually relatively shallow in Wuzhong, and the paper products they get are not top-notch, but they have already amazed this family who has lived in the Central Plains for generations.

Qian Feng was still thinking about it, but seeing that everyone in the Feng family had turned to look at him, Feng Rong stepped forward and took his hand and said excitedly: "It is a great fortune for my family to have Mr. It’s hard for me, a vulgar person, to pay a visit to the middle school in the future, and I still need to ask you to accompany me!”

Qian Feng nodded after hearing the words, but sighed inwardly, and finally took another step.Although the Feng family accepted him, they hadn't dispelled their wariness before. They just hid him at home, fearing that trouble would arise, and now they are finally willing to let him go out.

The Feng family was enthusiastic about this fact, prepared for two days, and then went out on the road under Feng Rong's leadership. Qian Feng naturally followed, and only two of the five family members around him.

Although this township is only a few tens of miles away from Xiangguo City, everyone in the Feng family is facing a formidable enemy. There are more than [-] strong men in two cars, neither ostentatious nor deliberately low-key.Along the way, there were many hustle and bustles jumping around on horseback. Seeing their group of Jin people, they looked very unfriendly.But fortunately, on the avenue where people come and go, apart from a few insults and kicks, nothing happened.

There are many checkpoints around Xiangguo, and there are many checks along the way. It's not that the defense is so strict, but it's just extortion of goods along the way.When the city was faintly in sight, the salt, linen, cloth and other goods loaded in one of the cars had already been extorted.Fortunately, these slave soldiers are not very interested in paper, otherwise they might be blackmailed.

After walking all the way into the outer city, Qian Feng breathed a sigh of relief.Although the laws and regulations in this area are lax, if he doesn't have an identity to cover up, he can't go deep into Xiangguo City just by breaking in like this.

After entering the city, the population began to thicken, and most of the people who could walk on the road were barbarians.They are a group of Jin people, and there are many strong men, walking in the streets and alleys is quite malicious.

Qian Feng didn't have time to think about the scenery in the city, and followed Feng Rong around, and soon went to a remote courtyard in the city for a temporary shelter.Feng Rong carefully told Qian Feng and others not to wander around, and then led several family members out in a hurry.

So Qian Feng stayed in this house with peace of mind. There are small courtyards that have collapsed, and someone brings food every day.Feng Rong went out early and returned late. After a few days, he returned with an excited face and said to Qian Feng: "Sir, go to bed early tonight, and visit a dignitary with me tomorrow!"

How Qian Feng was feeling, there was no abnormality on his face, but Feng Rong was restless that night, tossing and turning on the bed, unable to sleep, frequently chatting aimlessly with Qian Feng.It's just that when Qian Feng inquired about who he was going to visit, he was also vague, which showed that no matter what kind of connections he took, he himself was a little dizzy.

Early the next morning, a car drove in and drove out with only two people.In the car, Feng Rong repeatedly comforted Qian Feng to be calm, but he himself was sweat soaked into his temples without knowing it.

The car drove around the city in sevens and eights, and in the end Qian Feng couldn't remember where he came from.Finally driving into a relatively open street, Feng Rong whispered in Qian Feng's ear: "This is Chongrenli, a rare safe place in China!"

Qian Feng's heart moved after hearing the words, before he had time to appreciate the scenery on the street, the car turned into an alley and entered a mansion through the side door.

"And wait here."

The slaves in the mansion had an air of arrogance. They led the two into a side room and hurried away with the samples in hand.

Feng Rong was fidgeting, looking around in amazement.But Qian Feng looked at the layout of the mansion with a calm expression, and unexpectedly saw that there was a bit of the layout of Jiangdong's family courtyard.

After waiting for nearly an hour, the noble servant who led the way earlier stepped into the room again, and said politely: "Patriarch, please step back and see me."

The scale of this mansion is not small, the two walked around for a while under the guidance of the slave, before reaching a hall, motioning the two to wait, he hurried inside to report, and after a while he stood by the door and waved to them.

So Qian Feng walked in with Feng Rong, who was even more excited. His eyes quickly scanned the interior layout, and his brows couldn't help frowning even deeper. When he looked at an old man sitting in the hall, his whole body was froze.

The old man was about 60 years old, and his energy was a little weak. When he saw the visitors outside the door, his expression was flat at first, but when he looked at Qian Feng, his eyes were a little stagnant. He stood up from the table and walked up, looking up and down carefully , and finally stared closely at Qian Feng's eyes, and said with a slight trembling voice: "You, you are... Qian Shiyi?"
