The wind and snow are difficult, three ride goes toward the Stone Brush Country center. 风雪险阻,三骑一路往石毫国腹地而去。 The tall city of many School of Military land that must fight, is the scene of sores all over the eye, instead is the country boundary, mostly can evade the disasters of war by luck. But the refugee fleeing from calamity four directions, are forced to leave native place, actually bumped into after this winter one after another three heavy snows, by each region major road, many are the skinny skeletons that freeze to death, the young women and children all have. 不少兵家必争之地的高大城池,都已是满目疮痍的光景,反而是乡野地界,大多侥幸得以躲过兵灾。可是流民逃难四方,背井离乡,却又碰上了今年入冬后的接连三场大雪,各地官路旁,多是冻死的干瘦尸骨,青壮妇孺皆有。 Ma Duyi kind-hearted, Zeng Ye is simple and honorable, regardless of the person ghost, does not seem like true Letter Lake cultivator, when a Chen Ping'an way county city, said that must disburse money to look for the native helps open the porridge house and medicine shop the time, completes this matter, they continue to leave again, this lets Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye especially is happy. 马笃宜心善,曾掖淳朴,无论人鬼,都不像是真正的书简湖修士,所以当陈平安途径一座郡城,说要出钱找当地人帮忙开设粥铺和药铺的时候,做完这件事情,他们再继续动身,这让马笃宜和曾掖都尤为开心。 Chen Ping'an then took out that Azure Gorge Island to consecrate the jade sign, was hanging in the sword wrong another side waist, looks the local government authorities, Ma Duyi wore the valance hat, covered up the appearance, but also many leeway wore a thick cotton-padded jacket, the beautiful figure of fox fur beautiful woman one and covered up. 陈平安便取出了那块青峡岛供奉玉牌,悬挂在刀剑错的另外一侧腰间,去找了当地官府,马笃宜头戴帷帽,遮掩容颜,还很多余地穿上了件厚实棉衣,就连狐皮美人的婀娜身段都一并遮掩了。 Before then, their already passes through many prefectures and counties, close to Stone Brush Country, toward north, the deceased person are more, already can see more soldiers and horses, some are the Stone Brush Country disbanded soldiers who south the rout remove, some martial soldier armor are brand-new, take a quick look around, decent. Zeng Ye will feel the Stone Brush Country officers who these rush to the northern battlefield, could fight with the Great Li cavalry. 在这之前,他们已经走过不少郡县,越是临近石毫国中部,越往北,死人就越多,已经可以看到更多的兵马,有些是溃败南撤的石毫国散兵游勇,有些武卒铠甲崭新鲜亮,一眼看去,有模有样。曾掖会觉得那些赶赴北方战场的石毫国将士,说不定可以与大骊铁骑一战。 However Chen Ping'an is very clear, once goes to war, these dress up are carrying out the mail-armor and helmet, to grasp newly the dust-laden many years from each region arsenal as before such as martial soldier of new instrument, will die quickly, only then a small number of lucky fellows, have the opportunity from „not to know how how die” died newly, turns step by step „knows how to go on living” always died. 但是陈平安却很清楚,一旦打仗,这些披挂着从各地武库当中新搬出甲胄、手持尘封多年依旧如新器械的武卒,会死得很快,只有少数幸运儿,才有机会从“根本不知怎么自己怎么死的”新卒,一步步变成“知道怎么活下去”的老卒。 In the middle of the Lotus Flower Root Blessed Land time river, Chen Ping'an has witnessed with own eyes many frigid wars that decides four country national destinies. 在藕花福地的光阴长河当中,陈平安亲眼见证过多场决定四国国运的惨烈战事。 In Vast Domain, Chen Ping'an also experiences the military discipline that south Great Li near the boundary the army have scouted with own eyes, from one small clue one can see what is coming, understands why Great Li the army have „in hillock young hero” title, is in the mound hillocks in skeleton pile, hundred of finally living fought always died, perhaps Great Li in the past hundred years, 20-year-old young died, has fought the war, has seen deceased person, were more than Stone Brush Country here 40-50 years old real power military commander. 在浩然天下,陈平安也亲眼见识过大骊南境边军斥候的军容,见微知著,就会明白为何大骊边军有“垅上健儿”的称号,都是尸骨堆里的丘垅上,最后活下来的百战老卒,兴许大骊近百年以来,一个20岁的年轻边卒,打过的仗,见过的死人,比石毫国这边四五十岁的实权武将还要多。 Chen Ping'an actually thinks to be farther, Stone Brush Country takes one of the Zhu Ying dynasty vassal states, does not propose the class/flow of yellow crane Han Jingling, only said that overwhelming majorities of this vassal state, die imperial prince Han Jing xin in oneself like that dares to prey to have two Great Li that personally accompanies the armed forces cultivator scouts, near the northern boundary that Yin thing General Wei comes the army, polished directly, Emperor Stone Brush Country still reassigned the soldiers and horses from various border passes strongly, stopped up stubbornly on the path that Great Li went south, now Capital City was stranded, clings to tenaciously stance as before. 陈平安其实想得更远一些,石毫国作为朱荧王朝藩属之一,不提黄鹤韩靖灵之流,只说这个藩属国的绝大多数,就像那个死在自己手上的皇子韩靖信,都敢亲自搏杀拥有两名随军修士的大骊斥候,阴物魏将军出身的北境边军,更是直接打光了,石毫国皇帝仍是竭力从各处边关抽调兵马,死死堵在大骊南下的道路上,如今京城被困,依旧是死守到底的架势。 Why is Stone Brush Country willing so to handle affairs? Does not hesitate to take so many life to treat as the blocking the way stone, can hinder the Su Gaoshan Great Li cavalry slightly? 为什么石毫国愿意如此行事？不惜拿那么多的性命去当做拦路石,也要稍稍阻滞苏高山的大骊铁骑？ The writers said in the book, the winter suitable dense snow, has dead honorably the sound. 文人在书上说,冬宜密雪,有玉碎声。 Chen Ping'an raises eyes to look into the distance, the road also snow, the mountain also snow, pressed a difficult burden like Heavens toward the world. 陈平安举目远望,路也雪,山也雪,就像老天爷往人间压了一副重担子。 Chen Ping'an sighed, but thought of the iron armor in that night of Spirit Official Temple clank the sound, felt relaxed slightly. 陈平安叹息一声,只是一想到那夜灵官庙内的铁甲铮铮声,又稍稍释然。 This northbound, Ma Duyi is good, when crosses Ancestral Family Immortal Master, has worked as earnest Letter Lake wild cultivator, the sorrowful nature is unavoidable, but is insufficient extremely shocking, but saw the human purgatory general scene, Zeng Ye that day after day, will burst into tears from the beginning frequently silently, somewhat was numb. 这一路北行,马笃宜还好,当过谱牒仙师,也当过正儿八经的书简湖野修,悲恸自然难免,可是不至于太过震惊,但见多了人间炼狱一般的场景,日复一日,就连一开始会经常默默流泪的曾掖,都有些麻木了。 During this period, Zeng Ye time and time again was taken possession by male Yin thing, somewhat completed the last wish, some only regretted, native country hometown, already the people are no longer the same. 在此期间,曾掖一次次被男子阴物附身,有些完成了遗愿,有些唯有遗憾,故国故乡,早已物是人非。 But resides temporarily in female Yin thing of fox fur talisman paper beautiful woman, leave the world, for example Su Xinzhai. Also will have new female Yin thing to rely on talisman paper unceasingly, the walk world, talisman paper like inn, ferry crossing, come and go, has the reunion of alternating between joy and grief, has farewell that the Yin-Yang is separated by, according to their choices, during the spoken languages, there is a truth, conceals. 而寄居在狐皮符纸美人的女子阴物,一位位离开人间,比如苏心斋。又会有新的女子阴物不断凭借符纸,行走人间,一张张符纸就像一座座客栈,一座座渡口,来来去去,有悲喜交加的重逢,有阴阳相隔的告别,按照她们自己的选择,言语之间,有真相,有隐瞒。 On this day Chen Ping'an brings Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye, pays a visit the County Protector official mansion together, opens access. 这天陈平安带着马笃宜和曾掖,一起登门拜访郡守官邸,畅通无阻。 Local County Protector is the position almost cannot see obese old man of eye, on the government, likes seeing the person to smile, smiles, could not see the eye. 本地郡守是位几乎看不见眼睛的肥胖老人,在官场上,喜欢见人就笑,一笑起来,就更见不着眼睛了。 In this year the old man day crosses the least bit is not peaceful, the turmoil of war, except to from county city recent Immortal cave mansion, hired the Immortal Master descending the mountain guard with high pay, under turns to any doctor one can find when critically ill, but also won over the people of two unauthentic cultivating Dao, said coarse, before is, cannot take a liking to Five Lower Boundaries mountains and lakes wild cultivator of eye, that similarly is Five Lower Boundaries Ancestral Family Immortal Master, angrily, almost returns to mountain top directly, County Protector tries every means to persuade , the salary will add three Snowflake Coin every month, this detains mountain top daoist immortal that does not hope and wild cultivator is a companion of great difficulty, the County Protector anxiety, and loves dearly, is good one visits because of Chen Ping'an, immediately on feeling. Every month three Snowflake Coin overheads, resources are well used, because of that Ancestral Family Immortal Master, worthily is wild cultivator having no way ratio true daoist immortal, a seat of honor, knew that is „opens the door very much” treasure thing, absolutely is that expert so-called goods, was identifies that to consecrate the jade sign compared with huge Azure Gorge Island in any case prime, trembling, has almost not knelt to that young daoist immortal from Letter Lake kowtows. 这一年来老人的日子过得半点不安生,兵荒马乱的,除了向距离郡城最近的一座仙家洞府,重金聘请了位仙师下山护卫,病急乱投医之下,还拉拢了两位来路不明的修道之人,说难听点,就是以前不太瞧得上眼的下五境山泽野修,那位同样是下五境的谱牒仙师,一气之下,差点直接返回山上,郡守好说歹说,又将每月俸禄加了三颗雪花钱,这才好不容易留住那位不愿与野修为伍的山上神仙,郡守肉疼且心疼,好在陈平安一登门,立即就觉得每月三颗雪花钱的额外开销,物有所值,因为那位谱牒仙师,不愧是野修没法比的真正神仙,一上手,就晓得是“很开门”的宝贝物件,绝对是那行家所谓的一眼货,反正就是辨认出了那块比天大的青峡岛头等供奉玉牌,战战兢兢,差点没给那位来自书简湖的年轻神仙跪地磕头。 Then the matter was easy to do, that said that consecration master surnamed Chen, said that must open the porridge house and medicine shop in the county city, provides relieft to the common people, money he pulls out, but the troublesome government authorities a person strives, money must be, at that time Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye, saw that eye of old County Protector finally, stares roundly, is not really small. Should feel unthinkable, old County Protector Ancestral Family Immortal Master is no better, big good man in a family background Letter Lake, is not the big monster opens the mansion saying that Immortal Master is similar? 接下来事情就好办了,那个自称姓陈的供奉老爷,说要在郡城内开设粥铺和药铺,救济百姓,钱他来掏,但是麻烦官府这边出人出力,钱也还是要算的,当时马笃宜和曾掖,总算见到了老郡守的那双眼睛,瞪得圆圆的,真不算小。应该是觉得匪夷所思,老郡守身边的谱牒仙师好不到哪里去,一个出身书简湖里的大善人,可不就是大妖开辟府邸自称仙师差不多吗？ Two seemingly respectful timid mountains and lakes wild cultivator, look at each other one actually, without speech. 倒是两位看似恭敬怯懦的山泽野修,对视一眼,没有说话。 After that is to make everyone feel that on strange added strange, young consecration surnamed Chen makes old County Protector invite in the government office to be skilled in one group of official petty officials who the household register payment of taxes and businessman technique calculated, everyone sat together, started to discuss the detail carefully, now the town price of rice and drug price how, the government authorities granary storage number, the approximate population of local poverty-stricken common people and refugee, the selected location of porridge house and medicine shop, the county city yamen can reassign the idle manpower who and dispatch many not to delay the official business, so forth, links deliberated carefully, making that group of yamen slippery customers be critical situation. 此后更是让所有人都觉得怪上加怪,姓陈的年轻供奉让老郡守请来了官署内精于户籍赋税、商贾术算的一拨官员胥吏,大伙儿一起坐下来,开始仔细商议细节,如今市井米价、药价如何,官府粮仓储存数目,本地寒苦百姓与流民的大致人数,粥铺和药铺的选址,郡城衙门这边能够抽调、派遣出多少不会耽误公务的闲余人手,诸如此类,一个个环节都仔细推敲过去,让那拨衙署老油子一个个如临大敌。 Discussed official business, the County Protector government office bustles about in the evening on the operation, the official petty official scattered in all directions in abundance. 议事完毕,郡守官署这边当晚就开工忙碌起来,官员胥吏纷纷四散出去。 Chen Ping'an three live in the yamen backyard, finally late at night, two mountains and lakes wild cultivator walk in secretly, the least bit did not fear that surnamed Chen „Azure Gorge Island consecrates prime”, with daytime respects amenable cautiously, clearly on the contrary, wild cultivator, points at the thumb to rub, inquired with a smile Chen Ping'an is or isn't should give some seal fees, schemes this county city anything as for „Chen Gongfeng”, is the person is money or magical treasure spirit tool, their two will not manage. 陈平安三位就住在衙署后院,结果深夜时分,两位山泽野修偷偷找上门,半点不怕那个姓陈的“青峡岛头等供奉”,与白天的顺从敬慎,截然相反,其中一位野修,手指拇指搓着,笑着询问陈平安是不是应该给些封口费,至于“陈供奉”到底是图谋这座郡城什么,是人是钱还是法宝灵器,他们两个不会管。 At that time Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye also stayed in the Chen Ping'an room, chatted rarely. 当时马笃宜和曾掖都还留在陈平安屋内,难得闲聊。 Because like Zeng Ye, somewhat does not think slowly clearly, Mister Chen distinct already is being him the matter that step by step wants to handle, although will have this and that rough and is not complete, will have flying back without any results of time and time again, even if some small last wishes, similarly is unable to achieve, but has Yin thing ghosts and demons that eventually comes to Stone Brush Country much, with Su miss such, walking was not regrettable. 因为迟钝如曾掖,都有些想不明白,陈先生分明已经在一步步做着他想要做的事情了,虽然会有这样那样的坎坷和不圆满,也会有一次次的无功而返,哪怕是一些小的遗愿,同样无法达成,可终究还是有不少现身石毫国的阴物鬼魅都,跟苏姑娘那样,走得不那么遗憾了。 Properly speaking, the Mister Chen state of mind, should be with ease is more and more right. 照理说,陈先生的心境,应该是越来越轻松才对。 But is not such. 可是并非如此。 Therefore Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye without disturbing Mister Chen thinks that matter, is accompanying sitting, many are she and Zeng Ye involves to talk foolishly, Mister Chen will also never feel sick but actually, does not like speaking, but hears them to quarrel at the matter of tiny size occasionally, or sends talking nonsense of time purely, Mister Chen will smile, Ma Duyi Zeng Ye meets inexplicable frequently, thought that said respectively the funny spoken language, Mister Chen has no response, how did some least bit not funny spoken languages, instead smile? 所以马笃宜和曾掖就会在不打搅陈先生想事情的前提下,陪着坐坐,多是她与曾掖攀扯瞎聊,陈先生倒也从不会觉得厌烦,就是不太爱说话,可是偶尔听到他们两个在芝麻绿豆大小的事情上争吵,或是纯粹打发光阴的胡说八道,陈先生会笑一笑,马笃宜曾掖经常会莫名其妙,觉得各自说了好笑的言语,陈先生没什么反应,怎么一些个半点不好笑的言语,反而笑了？ This little while, the foot steps on the person of ghost of table bottom small stove and cracking with the teeth melon seed, after seeing thinking oneself clever of that two mountains and lakes wild cultivator, finds it specially fun. 这会儿,脚踩桌底小火炉、嗑瓜子的一人一鬼,在看到了那两位山泽野修的自作聪明后,都觉得特别好玩。 The Ma Duyi look is mischievous, dealing of very curious Mister Bookkeeper. 马笃宜眼神促狭,很好奇账房先生的应对。 Chen Ping'an asked with a smile: „Then you thought how many Snowflake Coin seal fees, is quite just?” 陈平安笑问道:“那么你们觉得多少颗雪花钱的封口费,比较公道？” wild cultivator has the mental note early, „little brother can copy together the Azure Gorge Island consecration jade sign, even can also in front of Ancestral Family Immortal Master, hoodwink to pass through, obviously was a great writer, tonight is to only open the porridge house medicine shop incident, pounded many really gold and silver, therefore this seal fee/spent, how should have...... 40-50 Snowflake Coin? Doesn't know little brother what do you think? Gives up this change, with the aim of making money calmly and steadily?” 一位野修早有腹稿,“小兄弟能够仿造一块青峡岛的供奉玉牌,甚至还可以在一位谱牒仙师面前,蒙蔽过关,可见是一桩大手笔了,今晚光是开设粥铺药铺一事,就又砸下去不少真金白银,所以这笔封口费,怎么都该有个……40-50颗雪花钱？不知道小兄弟意下如何？舍不舍得这点小钱,以便安安稳稳挣大钱？” Chen Ping'an extends both hands, holds down the shoulders of two wild cultivator, „, since were seen through by two seniors, I may probably silence a witness of crime, why to pull out the pen seal fee/spent, if you draw cash, goes back an sum total, instead must reach out for a yard after taking an inch, in the course of contacts, troubled did not say, referred to erratically must go bad my important matter, might as well do a simple matter, did not know you, what do you think?” 陈平安伸出双手,按住两位野修的肩头,“既然被两位前辈看穿了,那我可就要杀人灭口了,何必掏笔封口费,万一你们拿了钱,回去一合计,反而要得寸进尺,一来二去,麻烦不说,指不定还要坏我大事,不如做点干脆的事,不知道你们二人,意下如何？” In two mountains and lakes wild cultivator hearts panic-stricken, this by the holding down shoulder, is causes Qi Palace to vibrate unexpectedly, Spirit Qi stagnates. 两位山泽野修心中惊骇不已,这一被按住肩头,竟是导致气府震动,灵气凝滞。 Does not wait for two people to open the mouth to entreat, Chen Ping'an is putting on a serious face saying: „I plan really in a big way, you two, could add on slightly busy, but wants to live is leaving this county city, first puts out one to buy the life money, although you are only Five Lower Boundaries cultivator, but how should have...... 40 five Snowflake Coin?” 不等两人开口哀求,陈平安板着脸说道:“我谋划甚大,你们两个,说不定能帮上点小忙,但是想要活着离开这座郡城,先拿出一笔买命钱,你们虽说只是下五境修士,可怎么都该有个……四十五雪花钱？” Two not wealthy mountains and lakes wild cultivator, looked grief-stricken, collects 32 Snowflake Coin, said that really did not have. 两位本就不富裕的山泽野修,如丧考妣,凑出了三十二颗雪花钱,说真没了。 Chen Ping'an received the daoist immortal money, waves, „after going back, stops, when my news, so long as is tactful, when the time comes the matter became, divides your remnant thick soup cold roast/broil, dares to have the crooked thoughts, the life of your true value money, strips directly from key Qi Palace, when the time comes you are so distressed is so distressed, will regret to walk this County Protector mansion.” 陈平安接过神仙钱,挥挥手,“回去后,消停一点,等我的消息,只要识趣,到时候事情成了,分你们一点残羹冷炙,敢动歪心思,你们身上真正值点钱的本命物,从关键气府直接剥离出来,到时候你们叫天天不应叫地地不灵,就会后悔走这趟郡守府。” Two finally not to peer „plundering gold belt” when wild cultivator, rejoices the life, feels a unexpected happiness, is difficult to be inadequate can also turn misfortune into a blessing? Two wild cultivator go back an sum total, always thought that somewhat is dangerous, but does not dare to slide secretly, loves dearly the hard-earned money that more than 30 save laboriously, suddenly is swayed by personal gains and losses, keeps sighing. 两个总算没给同行“打家劫舍金腰带”的野修,庆幸活命之余,倍感意外之喜,难不成还能因祸得福？两位野修回去一合计,总觉得还是有些悬,可又不敢偷溜,也心疼那三十多颗辛苦积攒下来的血汗钱,一时间患得患失,长吁短叹。 Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye smile cheerfully. 马笃宜和曾掖笑得欢快。 Chen Ping'an sits at the table, „we leave the county city time, gives back to them Snowflake Coin again.” 陈平安坐在桌旁,“我们离开郡城的时候,再把雪花钱还给他们。” Then Chen Ping'an turns the head to look to Zeng Ye, „later arrived at the north state county city, may have the matter that opens the porridge house medicine shop must be done, but makes one at every place of visit, must look at the time and situation, these first do not raise, I have to haggle over, you do not need to think these. However has the porridge house medicine shop matters concerned again, Zeng Ye, is handled by you, deals with the character in government authorities high and low aspects, in the middle of the process, does not need to be worried oneself will make mistakes, or is afraid the multi- flowers to be unjust to money, is not worth the careful important matter, furthermore I, although will not meddle specifically, will actually help you look in the one side.” 然后陈平安转头望向曾掖,“以后到了更北边的州郡城池,可能还会有开设粥铺药铺的事情要做,但是每到一处就做一件,得看时机和场合,这些先不去提,我自有计较,你们不用去想这些。不过再有粥铺药铺事宜,曾掖,就由你去经手,跟官府上下方方面面的人物打交道,过程当中,不用担心自己会犯错,或是害怕多花冤枉银子,都不是什么值得上心的大事,再者我虽然不会具体插手,却会在一旁帮你看着点。” Zeng Ye first is to make an effort to nod, starts to speak but hesitates. 曾掖先是使劲点头,又欲言又止。 Chen Ping'an said: „Everything is difficult to do at very beginning, but must begin.” 陈平安说道:“万事开头难,可总得开个头吧。” Zeng Ye then no longer said anything, there is nervous, jumps for joy. 曾掖便不再多说什么,既有忐忑,也有雀跃。 Probably compared with the cultivating Dao incident, but must make this youngster feel enjoyable. 好像比起修道一事,还要更加让这位少年觉得舒心。 Chen Ping'an also said: „When wait until thought that tired or was sick, remembers does not use the embarrassed opens the mouth, said with me directly, after all your present cultivating Dao, cultivates the strength is a lord.” 陈平安又说道:“等到什么时候觉得劳累或是厌烦,记得不用不好意思开口,直接与我说,毕竟你如今修道,还是修力为主。” Zeng Ye nods such as the chicken pecking meter/rice, „Mister Chen you could rest assured that I will not delay cultivated absolutely.” 曾掖点头如小鸡啄米,“陈先生你放心,我绝对不会耽误修行的。” Chen Ping'an smiles. 陈平安会心一笑。 In fact, the youngster should be will be only more assiduous and attentive. 事实上,少年应该是只会更加勤勉且用心。 After that in the county city selected location appropriate porridge house medicine shop, rapidly develops methodically, since the yamen knows extremely well regarding this kind of matter, naturally is Sir County Protector personally the relations of urging, as for that cotton-padded gown youngster status, old County Protector said that has not made perfectly clear to anyone, makes one somewhat awe. 此后在郡城选址妥当的粥铺药铺,有条不紊地迅速开展起来,既是衙门这边对于这类事情熟稔,当然更是郡守大人亲自督促的关系,至于那个棉袍年轻人的身份,老郡守说得云里雾里,对谁都没点透,就让人有些敬畏。 Three days later, Chen Ping'an lets Ma Duyi that 32 Snowflake Coin, places in two mountains and lakes wild cultivator room quietly. 三天后,陈平安让马笃宜将那三十二颗雪花钱,悄悄放在两位山泽野修的房中。 Then three ride to arrive at a porridge house near city gate mouth, stops the horse by far, after turning over/standing up dismounts, Ancestral Family Immortal Master that Chen Ping'an exhausted that sees off is helping the nursing moment. 然后三骑来到城门口附近的一座粥铺,远远停马,翻身下马后,陈平安劳烦那位一路相送的谱牒仙师帮着看护片刻。 Arrived the porridge house that side, Ma Duyi is not willing to go to work as „beggar”, Zeng Ye did not feel oneself need to drink one bowl insipidly such as the rice gruel of water, Chen Ping'an goes to patient lining up on oneself, begged one bowl also to calculate that with rice gruel that „thick” touched on slightly slightly, as well as two steamed buns, squatted by the path outside team, the rice gruel is eating the steamed bun, in the ear will have the sound of voices and noise of petty official once for a while, the petty official will have to wander about destitute refugee hence with the local poverty-stricken common people, told the custom loudly, cannot greedy, only when can according to the head/number of people a minute/share of gruel, sip gruel to eat the steamed bun, may not be corrupt. Quickly, ate and drank anxiously, instead messed things up. 到了粥铺那边,马笃宜是不愿意去当“乞丐”,曾掖是不觉得自己需要去喝一碗寡淡如水的米粥,陈平安就自己一个人去耐心排队,讨要了一碗还算跟“浓稠”稍稍沾点边的米粥,以及两个馒头,蹲在队伍之外的道路旁,就着米粥吃馒头,耳中时不时还会有胥吏的吆喝声,胥吏会跟本地穷苦百姓还有流落至此的难民,大声告诉规矩,不许贪多,只能按照人头来分粥,喝粥啃馒头之时,更不可贪快,吃喝急了,反而误事。 Chen Ping'an looks at such as the team of long line, including many wear also to calculate that thick local young man, some also pull the child, inside the hand are eating tanghulu. 陈平安看着一条条如长龙的队伍,其中有不少穿着还算厚实的本地青壮男子,有些还牵着自家孩子,手里边吃着糖葫芦。 Chen Ping'an not far away, pinch of local man who encircles in the same place, nothing emaciated, food and drink, while complained the pig feed to be inferior. 陈平安身边不远处,就有一撮围在一起的本地男子,没什么面黄肌瘦,一边吃喝,一边埋怨猪食不如。 Chen Ping'an chews carefully silently, state of mind ancient well without ripples, because he knows, the thing that the human affairs so, in the world does not need to spend, treasures very much difficultly, if spends, even if bought the same rice gruel steamed bun, perhaps will be few more delicious, will not be foul-mouthed, complaint. 陈平安只是默默细嚼慢咽,心境古井不波,因为他知道,世事如此,天底下不用花钱的东西,很难去珍惜,若是花了钱,哪怕买了同样的米粥馒头,也许就会更好吃一些,最少不会骂骂咧咧,埋怨不已。 Also the gruel bowl, Chen Ping'an moved toward Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye, said: „Walked.” 还了粥碗,陈平安走向马笃宜和曾掖,说道:“走了。” Three ride to go out of town. 三骑出城。 The Ma Duyi thoughts are meticulous, for these days is accompanying Zeng Ye frequently the loitering porridge house medicine shop, discovered some clue, after going out of town, finally cannot bear start to complain, „money that Mister Chen, we spend, least at least 30%, that group of government cunning people loaded oneself belt-bag to the yamen, I look clearly, how Mister Chen you will unable to see why didn't scold that old County Protector?” 马笃宜心思缜密,这几天陪着曾掖经常逛荡粥铺药铺,发现了一些端倪,出城之后,终于忍不住开始抱怨,“陈先生,咱们砸下去的银子,最少最少有30%,给衙署那帮官场油子们装入了自己腰包,我都看得真切,陈先生你怎么会看不出,为什么不骂一骂那个老郡守？” Chen Ping'an said one, „this.” 陈平安只是说了一句,“这样啊。” Ma Duyi was about to irritate. 马笃宜都快气死了。 Zeng Ye is a face is more shocking. 曾掖更是一脸震惊。 The youngster really do not know the circumstances of the matter, his where can see through these governments curved circles. 少年是真不知情,他哪里能够看穿这些官场的弯弯绕绕。 Ma Duyi saw that Mister Bookkeeper not to have as follows, was really even more resentful, „Mister Chen! Your this, I will not help again next time! Makes Zeng Ye this dumb kid be busy at work, looked that he can be more of a hindrance than a help to you!” 马笃宜见那个账房先生没了下文,实在是愈发愤懑,“陈先生！你再这样,下次我可不帮忙了！就让曾掖这个傻小子自己忙活去,看他会不会给你帮倒忙！” Chen Ping'an thinks, was gives Ma Duyi one is not the explanation of explanation, said slowly: „ Since is doing good, matter roughly made, is not very complete, excessively do not make excessive demands, accepts bribes 30% money, I have the preparation, actually my bottom line, but must be lower, manages this matter's government official, lines one's purse, steals away 40%, can accept. 30% also good, 40%, 陈平安想了想,算是给了马笃宜一个不是解释的解释,缓缓道:“既然是在做好事,事情大致做成了,不够圆满而已,就不要过多苛求了,贪墨30%的银子,我是有心理准备的,其实我的底线,还要更低一些,经办此事的官吏,中饱私囊,偷走40%,都可以接受。30%也好,40%也罢, Considered them to make really the meddlesome return. ” 就当是他们做着实在好事的回报了。” How Ma Duyi has not thought that is such answer, wants to be angry, cannot be angry, did not speak simply. 马笃宜怎么都没想到是这么个答案,想要生气,又生气不起来,就干脆不说话了。 Chen Ping'an said with a smile: „If not feel happily, so long as you are willing to help Zeng Ye, my bottom line, can from 40% turn into 20%, what kind of?” 陈平安笑道:“如果觉得心里不痛快,只要你愿意帮曾掖,我的底线,可以从40%变成20%,怎么样？” Ma Duyi is then well satisfied, starts to progress to approach that side Zeng Ye slightly, she and stubborn youngster, the patience explained attainments, knacks. 马笃宜这才心满意足,开始策马稍稍凑近曾掖那边,她与榆木疙瘩的少年,耐心解释一桩桩心得,一个个诀窍。 Chen Ping'an slows down the horse's hoof speed suddenly slightly, pulls out sliver of small wood box from the sleeve, the seal script is plain, is a small thing that Millet Grain Island Tan Yuanyi bestows, is as a three people of forming an alliance intention, is quite rare, is a physical appearance good small sword tomb, merely one finger/refers of length, extremely pocket-sized exquisite , helping carry along, with load the pass on message flying sword, but was inferior that large-scale sword room that flexible ten thousand change, the custom is inflexible, and can only receive and dispatch respectively one signalling flying sword one time, the Spirit Qi loss of warm Yangfei sword, must far exceed the sword room, but so, Chen Ping'an wants even if. Wants, can easily hand over to sell Grain Rain Coin absolutely, therefore Chen Ping'an will certainly not reject Tan Yuanyi the good intention. 陈平安突然微微放缓马蹄速度,从袖中掏出一只长条小木匣,篆文古朴,是粒粟岛谭元仪赠送的一件小物件,算是作为三人结盟的一份心意,颇为稀罕,是一件品相不俗的小剑冢,仅仅一指长度,极为袖珍小巧,便于随身携带,用以装载传讯飞剑,只是不如大型剑房那么灵活万变,规矩死板,并且一次只能收发各一把传信飞剑,温养飞剑的灵气损耗,要远远超出剑房,可哪怕如此,陈平安只要愿意,绝对可以轻易转手卖出一颗谷雨钱,所以陈平安当然不会拒绝谭元仪的这份好意。 Opened in tremor small wood box, Chen Ping'an has gathered slightly the pass on message flying sword from Azure Gorge Island, in the confidential letter said that Willow Palace Island Liu Laocheng knew after his already was in Stone Brush Country, passed message to Azure Gorge Island, on a few words, „then came my Willow Palace Island to relate in detail price”. 打开一直在微微颤动的小木匣,陈平安收取了一把来自青峡岛的传讯飞剑,密信上说宫柳岛刘老成得知他已经身在石毫国后,就捎话给了青峡岛,就一句话,“回头来我宫柳岛细谈价钱”。 Chen Ping'an grips tight Snowflake Coin, Spirit Qi such as the waterdrop drips into a wood box sword to be bad, presses down a wood box ingenious mechanism/organization again, then plunders the wood box sword to be bad the Azure Gorge Island flying sword, flashes to pass, returns to Letter Lake. 陈平安攥紧一颗雪花钱,灵气如水滴滴入木匣其中的一条剑糟,再按下木匣一处巧妙机关,那把青峡岛飞剑掠出木匣剑糟,一闪而逝,返回书简湖。 Zeng Ye looks looks at steadily. 曾掖看得目不转睛。 In the past in Reed Moon Island that crude sword room, he had also done odd jobs, but this hears its name, has not only seen its thing the small sword tomb, is first witnessing, is really wonderful. 当年在茅月岛那座简陋剑房,他还打过杂,可是这种只闻其名、未见其物的小剑冢,还是第一次亲眼目睹,真是妙不可言。 Ma Duyi same is no better. 马笃宜一样好不到哪里去。 Chen Ping'an receives wood box to enter the sleeve, blows on the hands aspirates, is a very big good news. 陈平安收起木匣入袖,呵手吐气,是个很大的好消息。 If he himself said to Zeng Ye, world all things are difficult, all things have the opening to be difficult, first does cross cannot step, stand safely, important. 如他自己对曾掖所说,世间万事难,万事又有开头难,第一步跨不跨得出去,站不站得稳当,至关重要。 Chen Ping'an with should be Liu Zhimao and Millet Grain Island Great Li spy child Tan Yuanyi of no reason at all personal enemy, the three form an alliance. 陈平安与本该是仇人的刘志茂、无缘无故的粒粟岛大骊谍子谭元仪,三者结盟。 Also runs Willow Palace Island, braves hardships and dangers, deals with Liu Laocheng. 又跑去宫柳岛,亲身涉险,跟刘老成打交道。 And taking advantage of this time comes Stone Brush Country each region, „one by one to make up wrong” an opportunity, understands the Stone Brush Country national strength. 以及借着此次前来石毫国各地、“一一补错”的机会,更多了解石毫国的国势。 Has naturally striven. 自然是有所求。 Chen Ping'an in Azure Gorge Island mountain gate nearby room, had had a dialogue with the Gu Can mother initially, but woman that little while also not necessarily hears, words that many Chen Ping'an seemingly say superficially, she will not think deeply mostly, perhaps will not take seriously, her disposition is actually not complex, for her and Gu Can, clouded over suddenly Letter Lake, hoping Chen Ping'an can guarantee Ping'an(safe and sound) for their mother and child, hopes that Mister Bookkeeper, can think of the former friendship, do not disappoint „Ping'an(safe and sound)” such name. 陈平安当初在青峡岛山门附近的屋内,与顾璨娘亲有过一场对话,只是妇人那会儿也未必听得进去,许多陈平安看似轻描淡写说出口的话语,她多半不会深思了,说不定都不会当真,她的心性其实并不复杂,为她和顾璨,在突然变天了的书简湖,希望陈平安能够为他们娘俩保个平安,希望那个账房先生,能够念旧情,别辜负了“平安”这么个名字。 And several words, involve „future Letter Lake, may be different”. 其中有几句话,就涉及到“将来的书简湖,可能会不一样”。 The women not necessarily go into seriously. 妇人未必深究。 Chen Ping'an has actually been doing. 陈平安却早已在做。 Chen Ping'an must fortify at every step, complied with Liu Laocheng at that two half true and half false jokes that on the ferry spoke, „stops at nothing.” „Big ambition.” 陈平安要步步为营,应了刘老成在渡船上说的那两句半真半假玩笑话,“无所不用其极。”“好大的野心。” Because Liu Laocheng already detects the clue, guesses correctly Chen Ping'an, wants truly from the plant root, changes the Letter Lake custom. 因为刘老成已经察觉到端倪,猜出陈平安,想要真正从根子上,改变书简湖的规矩。 The false thing borrows potential, does everything possible. 假物借势,尽力而为。 Chen Ping'an first did not discuss that person of good and evil, is handling a matter, treats as Go piece everyone, draws own bigger chess shape as far as possible, from Go piece to chess shape, then to status. 陈平安先不去谈人之善恶,就是在做一件事情,将所有人当作棋子,尽可能画出属于自己的更大一块棋形,由棋子到棋形,再到棋势。 He hopes that can in the future Letter Lake big custom, least can be involved, formulates custom 他希望能够在未来书简湖的大规矩之中,最少自己可以参与其中,去制定规矩 Therefore Liu Laocheng inquired Chen Ping'an at that time, is or isn't with Black Dragon Pearl Grotto-Heaven the chess of Mister Qi study. 所以刘老成当时询问陈平安,是不是跟骊珠洞天的齐先生学的棋。 Is this principle. 即是此理。 both sides said a word, actually continuously at competition tug-of-war. 双方言语之间,其实一直是在较劲拔河。 In which undercurrent surges, manipulates strategically, above Go Board, seeks for the ladle of opposite party, gets down the unreasonable hand, gets down daoist immortal, is the respective art. 其中的暗流涌动,勾心斗角,棋盘之上,寻找对方的勺子,下无理手,下神仙手,都是各自的讲究。 Is also good facing Willow Palace Island Five Upper Boundaries cultivator Liu Laocheng, even facing Nascent Origin Liu Zhimao, Chen Ping'an actually depends on the fist to speak, once crosses the border, astrays the struggle of Great Dao, stops anyone of path, is no different brings about own destruction, since realm disparate such big, let alone is on the mouth reasons with, no matter uses, the so-called fist reasons with courts death, Chen Ping'an has also striven, what to do? That can only in „cultivating the mind” incident high and low dead time, guess all potential Go piece imperceptibly weight/quantity cautiously, demanded, bottom line, mental disposition and custom their respective. 面对宫柳岛上五境修士刘老成也好,甚至是面对元婴刘志茂,陈平安其实靠拳头说话,一旦越界,误入大道之争,阻拦其中任何一人的道路,都无异于自寻死路,既然境界悬殊如此之大,别说是嘴上讲理不管用,所谓的拳头讲理更是找死,陈平安又有所求,怎么办？那就只能在“修心”一事上下死功夫,小心翼翼揣测所有无形中的潜在棋子的分量,他们各自的诉求、底线、秉性和规矩。
