- (One of the contents is the previous chapter of "Bead Curtain Chapter" - Little Sweet Potato, I found you.)
Xiangfu is in his fourth year.
Rouge County in Youzhou is very famous. The reputation is so great that even the entire Central Plains has heard about it, especially Jiangnan Road where scholars were popular in the early years and Guangling Road where the world's richest people were famous. interest.
Because the mother-in-law of Rouge County is especially watery, she responded to the saying that women are really made of water, beautiful but not vulgar, naturally charming and affectionate. Even a woman from Rouge County who grew up in a remote and remote area still has a unique charm.
But there are many unknown small towns in Rouge County. Among them, in a small county town, there lives a beauty who was once on the Rouge List.
Pei Nanwei, the former Princess Jing'an who should have died in love.
Now she is guarding the small but neat little house. She rarely goes out and raises a cage of chickens. Then she often sits under the eaves and looks at the arrogant old hen. She wandered around the yard with her cute little chickens, pecking here and there. As time went by, although she became a little bored, she felt that such a boring life was the real way to live.
There is an inconspicuous young woman and an old woman who is about to collapse in the wind, living far away from each other. The former will occasionally help fill the water tank, or send some small items that are destined to be unavailable in the small town even if you have money. Rouge, gouache, hairpins, all kinds of bits and pieces, Pei Nanwei also accepted them all one by one. No woman in the world, no matter rich or poor, high or low, would not want to be more beautiful. The old woman with a face full of vicissitudes of life did not give anything as a gift, but came to visit the house every now and then. She chatted about trivial things, saying which silk shop in the town had Sichuan satin for sale, but the old woman quickly came to visit her. Let's just say that 80% of it is a lie, just to steal those silly girls' private money. It was said that the ugly and weird daughter-in-law of Liu Yao'er, the blacksmith shop in the southernmost part of the town, actually hooked up with a young man named Zhang in Poluo Alley. It's really hard to tell who took advantage. The old woman also said that a kite fell on the roof of her house, and those children were really naughty.
"She only went to the house to get a kite to make trouble. There was also a little brat who stood on the roof and peed into the yard. As a result, she went to the door of the child's house and scolded him.
Pei Nanwei listened patiently every time, but she couldn't remember most of them and forgot them after hearing them.
Finally one day, someone broke the peace and tranquility. It was the child named Yu Dilong. He came unexpectedly on horseback with a sword on his waist. He climbed the mountain and dismounted in a clean and tidy manner. The child with a big butt looked particularly old-fashioned. She I looked at it with a smile at the door, feeling a little funny.
When Yu Dilong called out the title of "Master's Wife", Pei Nanwei smiled even more happily. He led the child across the threshold of the small courtyard without any hurry and asked: "Little insect, how many people have you called Master's Wife?"
In fact, this child has been called Aunt Pei several times before, but now she has a new name, which doesn't make her feel annoying.
Since the allusion about walking on the wall seemed to spread throughout Qingliang Mountain overnight, Yu Dilong said this saying about misfortunes coming from his mouth, which could not be more profound.
But facing Pei Nanwei, this child really couldn't remember. He stretched out three fingers and said with a grin: "Just three! But you, the master's wife, are the master's wife!"
Pei Nanwei glared and feigned anger: "You won't just say half a sentence?"
Yu Dilong looked surprised, "Huh? Just three?!"
Pei Nanwei hit this tall and careless child hard on the head and laughed angrily: "I learned it all from your master!"
Yang Dilong, whose face was so dark that it was almost as dark as charcoal, laughed and walked into the courtyard with his wife, his master, in a cheerful pace.
Yu Dilong likes to think of this place as his home, so he discussed with his wife last time that when he saves enough money, he must build another house.
There were two small benches always placed under the eaves. She had thought about buying a small bamboo chair, but after thinking about it, she decided not to buy one. She had other plans.
After the two of them sat down, Pei Nanwei joked: "Little Chongzi, what is the name of your master's eldest disciple? Master, I forgot."
Yu Dilong, who was originally lazy, immediately straightened his back, feeling a little guilty, and whispered: "Her name is Wang Sheng. That guy Lu Yunchang said that it was a tacky name. But I think it's actually not bad."
Pei Nanwei asked: "Then what if Wang Sheng likes your master but doesn't like you?"
Yu Dilong opened his mouth wide with a confused look on his face.
She asked carefully, "Huh?"
Yu Dilong scratched his head, stared down at the tips of his shoes, and said softly: "I can't beat Master either."
Pei Nanwei laughed heartily.
Yu Dilong quickly raised his head and said seriously: "Master's wife, if Wang gives birth to a child, she would really like it."If you like Master, I will fight with Master, but I am not trying to snatch Wang Sheng away! "
Now Pei Nanwei was really confused, "What should I say?"
The child had a serious look on his face and stretched out a fist, "I just want Wang Sheng to know that you can like our master, but a little bug may be able to beat the master."
Pei Nanwei was noncommittal, looked up at the door of the courtyard, and said softly: "Little insect, it's okay to say you're stupid, but it's not wrong to say you're smart."
The child seemed a little depressed, holding his chin with both hands, and was lost in thought.
Pei Nanwei rubbed his head and consoled him: "It may be very soon, but it may also be a long, long time later that you will understand one day that when you like someone, but that person doesn't like you, it's not as good as the other two." Individuals like each other, but you are much luckier than if you don¡¯t even have one person you like.¡±
Yu Dilong frowned and said pitifully: "Master Wife, why does it sound so miserable?"
Pei Nanwei asked with a smile: "Do you think Mistress is happy or sad?"
She added, "If you answer correctly, my wife will teach you how to pursue Wang Sheng."
Yu Dilong said cautiously: "Silly?"
Pei Nanwei¡¯s mouth twitched.
Yu Dilong hugged his head with lightning speed, "Master's wife, Master's wife! This is what Master accidentally let slip!"
Pei Nanwei said cheerfully: "You got the answer right."
Yu Dilong¡¯s face was filled with surprise.
Pei Nanwei chuckled, "But little bug, you should just stay single for the rest of your life."
Yu Dilong was not sad at all. He just tilted his head and held his chin with two fingers, as if he was thinking about something very carefully.
The child suddenly sat up straight and slapped his thigh, "Forget it, let's wait until I come back from Hulukou alive!"
Pei Nanwei was startled, "What's going on?"
Yu Dilong took out a money bag and handed it to Pei Nanwei solemnly, "Master's wife, this is my military salary after I served as the captain of the Youzhou Cavalry. You should continue to save it for me. Master's wife! If one day I hear They say I died in battle outside the pass, remember not to feel sad for the little bug."
Pei Nanwei frowned and said, "Are you going to fight outside the customs?"
Yu Dilong looked around and lowered his voice: "Master! You can't talk about this. If you leak the military plan, you will be slapped according to the laws of Beiliang! I am the leader of the scout corps, and I must lead by example!"
The child wiped his neck and rolled his eyes.
Pei Nanwei put away the money bag, "Okay, I'll keep it for you."
Yu Dilong stood up and said, "Master's wife, if I die, don't tell Wang Sheng that I like her."
Pei Nanwei asked with a smile: "Then if you come back alive, will you tell your wife?"
Yu Dilong quickly waved his hands and said: "No, no, no, don't even say anything!"
Pei Nanwei asked: "Anyway, I want the master's wife not to say anything, so what are you trying to do by bringing this up?"
Yu Dilong was suddenly confused, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
After Pei Nanwei stood up, he poked the child's head hard with his finger, "Little insect, with your mushy head, what kind of land dragon will you be in the future?!"
Yu Dilong sullenly walked down the steps, turned around and waved his hands: "Master's wife, don't give it away!"
Pei Nanwei said angrily: "Go, go, hurry up."
After Yu Dilong walked out of the door, Pei Nanwei suddenly heard the child's surprise voice, "Master?! Why are you here? The battle is over?!"
Pei Nanwei subconsciously walked down the steps quickly. Just as she was about to reach the door of the courtyard, she suddenly woke up and stopped. She laughed loudly and cursed: "You little bastard!"
The children outside the house laughed loudly and rode away, shouting: "Let's go! Master misses Master!"
Now at the turn of spring and summer, a woman from the Pei clan of the Spring and Autumn Period suddenly remembered a small poem, the content of which was word for word, but she forgot the title of the poem and the name of the author.
Quietly gaze at the green wall and leisurely gaze at the green forest. The wandering oriole has nothing to do, its sound is far away from the yin.
????????????? Green walls, green forests, wandering orioles, and daffodils.
I think the reason why she has such a deep memory is that these lovely scenery in the south of the Yangtze River were close to her when she was a girl. The more easily they are available, the less they know how to cherish them.
After becoming the Princess of Liyang, she was imprisoned within a high wall. After getting tired of reading graceful poems, she gradually came into contact with some frontier poems that she had disliked in the past. It was just those words that were tossed back and forth in the poems, such as recruiting people, frost moon, Qiang flute, and reed. Guan, Hongyan.
At this time, Pei Nanwei looked around, seeing yellow mud courtyard walls, sparse greenery, no birdsong, and already scorching hot weather.
The secluded boudoir in a high-rise buildingBlame people?
¡° Then there must be a tall building to live in.
Pei Nanwei got really angry when she thought of this. She was alone in this small county town buying firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Of course, it had to do with money.
Since the last time I went to the Bishan County government office with the guy who was nominally the county boss Bo, and successfully asked for the twenty taels of silver salary that I had owed for a long time, the county magistrate Feng Guan was quickly transferred out for some unknown reason and replaced the original boss Bo. Yang Gongshou, who was in the position of "Xu Qi", succeeded him as the county magistrate. The county magistrate was still Zhu Ying, who came from Qingludong Academy like the new county magistrate. Both of them were scholars in Liang Dynasty. When she went to the county government with him, she met two scholars. Yang Gongshou also hired someone to perform a clumsy play about a hero saving a beauty. Unfortunately, the man named Xu saw through it at a glance. In his words, I was I am the originator of the dandy industry. I don¡¯t know how many young people in Beiliang were eating ashes behind me, imitating my example and painting tigers and dogs.
What makes Pei Nanwei angry is that after Yang Gongshou became the county magistrate, the post of Bishan County chief executive did not continue to fill the vacancy as usual. Instead, Xu Qi's name was renamed. However, the Bishan County government gave him "Xu Qi". "Odd" Since you don't go on duty at Dian Mao, then your salary will be halved. It is said that this was the result of County Lieutenant Zhu Ying's argument with the new County Master. Otherwise, according to County Magistrate Yang's wishes, Lord Bo Xuqi would not even be able to get a single copper coin. Probably all the subordinate officials in the yamen had figured out the thoughts of the county magistrate, especially the women whose men were working in the yamen, and they regarded her as an enemy, Mrs. Bo, and even brought oil, rice, salt, cloth, etc. They are always more expensive. The young woman of unknown origin originally wanted to buy it for her, but Pei Nanwei refused. Pei Nanwei decided to buy it herself, and deliberately brought a few heavy silver ingots with her. Of course, the silver was not needed. Over there in the shop I can't find it either, but when that
When the women looked eagerly at the few silver ingots, Pei Nanwei felt comfortable.
That feeling is like saying, the man who bullied me is not here, but he can rest assured that my man can leave so much money to his woman, but do you men with long-mouthed women have this ability?
Pei Nanwei is also angry because your apprentice Yu Dilong can earn so much money. As a master, you don¡¯t know how to send some money home?
The thought of exchanging a silver ingot for copper coins made her feel extremely distressed.
From the corner of her eye, Pei Nanwei caught sight of the old hen in the yard, which looked like a general patrolling the territory with tens of thousands of elite troops. She immediately became furious and walked quickly towards them, stepping on the ground hard. The hens and chicks fled in fright.
Pei Nanwei snorted coldly and put his hands on his hips, feeling a little proud.
There was a young man who happened to be standing at the entrance of the hospital. He happened to see this scene, his eyes were dull and his expression was in a trance.
He looked at the graceful figure with her back turned to him. He was holding a hand with a cloth bag, and his palms were covered with sweat.
His current name is Zhu Ying, and he was one of the thousands of scholars who followed the king of Shangyin Academy to offer wine to Beiliang. If the scholars at that time were most famous for the Yuluan sword, the eldest grandson of the Yu family, in fact, if he used it His real name and reputation are by no means inferior to Yu Luan Dao.
The world¡¯s Neo-Confucianism is from Zhu in the south to Yao in the north!
Yao Baifeng, the master of Neo-Confucianism, has resigned from the Imperial Academy Zuo Jijiu and returned to his hometown to continue teaching.
The children of the Zhu family in Jing'an Dao have always been unwilling to serve as officials. "Zhu Ying's" grandfather was known as the "God King" in the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a deep relationship with Qi Yanglong, the great winemaker of the Academy. Seven people from Zhu Ying's father's generation joined hands. It is famous in Shilin and is known as the Seven Dragons of the Zhu family. It is even ranked alongside the "Lushi family in Jiangnan, full of beautiful things".
Zhu Ying¡¯s real name is Zhu Ying, and he is the eldest grandson of the Zhu family!
Even though he kept his name anonymously and pretended to be a concubine of a branch of the Zhu family, Zhu Ying still stood out in Qinglu Cave Academy with his outstanding knowledge and farsightedness. Several times, the great scholars invited by Huang Shang, the master of the academy, to give lectures in Qinglu Cave were all Zhu Ying was forced to leave the stage and was in such a state of embarrassment that some elderly scholars even asked Zhu Ying to explain his doubts in the hall. It's just that Zhu Ying's reputation among the scholars who went to Liang was not well known. At most, he had a reputation of being unruly and noble. However, his unpublished articles, as the young vassal king told Pei Nanwei at the time, were already on the desk of Fushui House. , even Xu Weixiong was alarmed, and regarded him as a young handsome man who was not familiar with Xu Beizhi and Chen Xiliang too much. Zhu Ying's codename in Fushui Fang was "Xiao Feng", and he was already on par with Yu Luan Dao's "Da Luan" !
Zhu Ying, or rather Zhu Ying, found that her lips were dry and she didn't know how to speak.
Unlike Yang Gongshou who was astonished when he first saw her, Zhu Ying only thought that she looked good when he saw her for the first time, but he didn't have any charming thoughts. Only one time on the winding street after the rain, he accidentally fell in love with her. I saw her squatting by the street, breaking a piece of dry biscuit in her hand, and gently feeding it to a muddy brown kitten.
It¡¯s hard for him to let go.
He knows that even if he is not ZhuThe eldest grandson of the family is thinking about a lonely woman living alone, which is inconsistent with reason and etiquette.
But he couldn't help it.
Just when he was about to speak, the woman had turned around, frowned at him, and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhu Ying was instantly heartbroken.
In the past year, although we have never spoken to each other, we have seen each other, whether near or far, fifteen or sixteen times?
Zhu Ying's face was pale, her lips were trembling, and she couldn't say a word.
He wanted to raise the money bag in his hand, and wanted to say that this was Master Xu's monthly salary. As a colleague of Bishan County Government, I, Zhu Ying, just came here to send money to my wife.
Pei Nanwei, who was confused, pointed at the stupid chicken rudely, "Is there something wrong? Get out of here!"
She ran to the corner and picked up a broom, glaring at him fiercely.
The young scholar turned around sadly.
Pei Nanwei naturally didn¡¯t know what was going on in this young man¡¯s mind, and he would be confused just because of her actions on the street.
"But with Pei Nanwei's temperament, even if she knew about it, she wouldn't care. I'm afraid she would repeat her unintentional words before: There's something wrong.
As for why Zhu Ying, who clearly rose up in the officialdom of Northern Liang many years later, resolutely rebelled against the Liang Party when it was at its peak, and as a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he was known as "iron-bone" by both the government and the public. With his celebrity character, he has repeatedly suppressed the official advancement of the rising stars of the Liang Party. No one knows why the "Iron Minister" Zhu Ying acted like this, and why he knew that he would end up in the position of Minister because of his disobedience to the general trend. In the end, Zhu Ying, who quickly rose to the rank of Minister of the First Division, gave up the opportunity that his family had obtained by joining forces with several parties, and gave up the opportunity to transfer to the Ministry of Rites as Minister. He resigned but did not return to his hometown. Instead, he went to the north, which was full of political enemies. Liang Dao founded a sect in Youzhou and became a master of Neo-Confucianism. His reputation was not inferior to that of his predecessor Yao Baifeng. In Zhu Ying's life, apart from family marriages, he only took one concubine in his later years in Rouge County, Youzhou. The concubine was young and beautiful, in her 28th year, and Zhu Ying had already
Zhu Ying was already gray-haired. This move also caused Zhu Ying to be criticized in the Central Plains. Someone wrote a poem "A pear blossom crushes the begonia" and ridiculed it. Zhu Ying did not take it seriously and died of old age in Beiliang Road. The imperial court gave him the posthumous title Wenzhen.
Until Zhu Ying resigned from office and died of illness in Northern Liang, the pattern of all parties in the court jointly resisting the Liang Party remained unchanged.
The county magistrate Yang Gongshou, who once overpowered the Zhu family in Bishan County, used his status as a member of the Liang Party to gain a successful career, and eventually became the envoy of the Lianghuai Road Economic Envoy. He has always had a good relationship with Zhu Ying.
When rushing to pay homage to his friend in Youzhou, Beiliang, Yang Gongshou suddenly saw the young woman wearing mourning clothes. She seemed to have four similarities in facial features and eyes with the woman they had met in the town of Bishan County in the early years. Five points.
Originally, in the friend Lingtang, it only revealed a little sorrowful scripture to make the adults.
At this moment, the unknown "disciple" woman was driven away with a broom. Sitting under the eaves, the old woman soon came to visit and started chattering again. However, compared to the previous home, the old woman was short and trivial. I talked more about the war outside the customs that I heard from hearsay, saying that the barbarians in Beimang were almost unable to hold on, and the barbarians in Liangzhou and Beicheng were fighting from last autumn to this summer. I don¡¯t know how many thousands of barbarians died. Once summer comes, let alone During the siege, the mountains of corpses alone were difficult to deal with and even more unbearable. Pei Nanwei listened absently, felt a little sleepy, and yawned. Suddenly he saw the younger woman walking into the yard and sitting on the dirt steps at their feet. The old woman's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and the young woman lowered her head guiltily. .
Pei Nanwei has always been said to be a fool by someone. Maybe a wealthy woman who can become a feudal prince and princess is not really stupid. She just has too many things and is too lazy to care about it.
Probably because he was too bored, Pei Nanwei poked the delicate woman's back with his finger and asked with a smile: "You have something on your mind? Tell me, maybe I can help you."
The delicate woman¡¯s head lowered even further.
The old woman hurriedly stopped her and said, "Ms. Pei, how can Xiao Yang have anything to worry about? She is the daughter of a small family"
Pei Nanwei smiled and said: "Okay, she comes from a small family, and she belongs to the girl from Qingliang Mountain. Maybe even that guy has heard of her name, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sit here with my mother-in-law. . Today we just treat it as ordinary neighbors. There is no water-flushing house or eagle-raising house, and there is no lord or Qingliang Mountain. How about it? Just some whispers between women. It¡¯s harmless. Anyway, the three of us are not. If you tell me, no one will know. Xiao Yangjust think of your surname as Yang for now, tell me, you like it, and Sister Pei and Granny Zhao will make plans for you."
The young female soldier raised her head and said,?Looking at the old woman uneasily, the latter sighed, nodded and said: "It's just this once, there won't be a next time!"
The former timidly said: "Sister Pei, I like"
At this point, she couldn't go on.
The old woman snorted with a straight face: "The county magistrate, Yang Gongshou, has an embroidered pillow, and he calls himself a poet and swordsman. Last year, he spent twenty-six taels of silver to hire someone to stand in front of the prince and Miss Pei. It's not embarrassing." Show your eyes! You must be blind to see a child of this kind of aristocratic family!"
The young woman pursed her lips, a little resentful, but did not dare to refute.
Pei Nanwei found it interesting, and couldn't help cheering up the little girl: "This is the talented and beautiful woman mentioned in the book. It's very good. Xiao Yang, don't be frightened by Granny Zhao. Although you all have the surname Yang, if you are In places other than Beiliang Dao, especially in places like Jiangnan Dao where there are many scholarly families, it is a bit troublesome. Why? Because before the Great Qin Dynasty, marriages with the same surname were not frowned upon, but after the Great Qin Dynasty, marriages with the same surname were banned. Marry, which means that after the Qin Dynasty, people with the same surname did not marry, which became an unwritten rule that the courts of all dynasties did not care about, but scholars loved to take care of it. However, after the Eight Kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period, not even the top ten powerful nobles were gone, so there was no Too particular about these things. But the county magistrate surnamed Yang is probably from a distinguished family in the Central Plains. Otherwise, he would not be qualified to come to Beiliang, let alone become a county official so quickly. So, Xiao Yang, If the elders in the family don't mind, it's best to change it temporarily
A surname¡¡±
From surname marriages to the family traditions of the Central Plains families, to the women's fight for favor in the courtyard, and finally to the fights between houses within the high walls, to the mother's worth and the royal wives who are out of reach for the common people. .
Pei Nanwei was, after all, a woman who was carefully cultivated by the powerful Pei family. She explained the knowledge in a simple and profound way. Not only did the young women listen attentively, but even the old women who originally had a casual attitude were somewhat fascinated.
Pei Nanwei spoke with great enthusiasm, the young female soldier¡¯s eyes shone, and the old woman nodded frequently.
In particular, Pei Nanwei taught the little girl step by step how to pretend to be a noble woman from a declining family, how to pay attention to pronunciation when speaking, which poems and books to read, how to stop talking when talking to the man you like, and how to stop talking when talking to the man you like. The eyes of the dead spies were opened, and they felt that they were also women.
, this woman named Pei Nanwei is a first-class grandmaster. He is worthy of being the number one person in the world who can make our princes "hold the wall and walk away"!
Pei Nanwei spoke with great enthusiasm, and was about to talk about the most obscure thing about raw rice and cooked rice in the woman's boudoir, but she was lightly hit by a chestnut on the back of her head, and a warm voice came from behind her, "I'm not as good as you." You shameless woman! The men in your family don¡¯t know how to establish family rules!"
The two Fushui Fang spies, one large and one small, stood up suddenly as if they were struck by lightning, and then quickly went to the foot of the steps, kneeling on one knee, not daring to take a breath.
Their eyes were fixed on the ground, and in addition to the unprepared horror in their eyes, there was also reverence from the bottom of their hearts, and the burning heat that arose spontaneously.
It took ten years to cultivate Song Yushu, a hundred years to cultivate Xu Fengnian, and a thousand years to cultivate Lu Dongxuan.
Not to mention that life only lasts a hundred years.
Pei Nanwei was so angry that she did not turn around.
The man knelt down next to her and smiled softly at the two elites in the water-flushing room in the yard: "Get up, you two have a lot of work to do these days. Don't be cautious when you come here in the future. It's fine to be like today, so don't It will be lifeless.¡±
They both stood up and nodded.
The man looked at the red-faced young soldier and said, "Yang Gongshou, right? Don't worry, I will help you connect. I will change your status as a nobleman later, but for the time being, you still need to stay in Bishan County."
He nodded to the old woman, who understood and left the yard with the blessing from the sky.
Pei Nanwei still didn¡¯t turn around, ¡°Is the battle over?¡±
He sighed, "Jibei City has been defended. The Beimang barbarians haven't hurt the foundation yet, and the remaining army of less than 200,000 has been able to retreat, so we probably have to fight again, but the victory is already with us." This is Beiliang. I want to go outside Jizhou Pass to meet the old Dongyue Prince Consort. By the way,
Some people also want to say hello, but I don¡¯t worry about others going. "
She suddenly turned around, hugged him, and held him in her arms.
Her eyes were red and she cried childishly: "I won't let you go!"
A vague voice came from between her majestic breasts, "Then don'tsuffocate me here"
She blushed instantly and pushed away this bastard who had taken advantage of him.
?When Xu Fengnian was pushed out, he waved his sleeve and flicked away into the distance.
On the wall of the courtyard, Lu Yunchang, who was squatting there to watch the show, was hit in the forehead by a snap of his finger, and fell to the ground with a bang in the alley outside the courtyard.
The young lady carried the sword box on her back and crossed her arms with her hands. Seeing the embarrassed Lu Yunchang standing up, she sneered.
Yu Dilong, who accidentally met the three masters outside the town, had to return together. His expression was very complicated and he did not dare to take another look at Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Come with me to the small town restaurant and buy wine for Master!"
Yu Dilong said oh without thinking much.
Lu Yunchang said with a wicked smile: "You two just go buy some drinks. I'll keep an eye on Master here to prevent assassins from sneaking up on you."
Wang Sheng, who was carrying a cassette and carrying a sword, stretched out his hand to hold down the hilt of a sword. Lu Yunchang raised his hands and said, "Dede, I'm afraid of you."
Yu Dilong looked confused.
Lu Yunchang shook his head and sighed: "Yu Earthworm, why do you think you don't understand?"
Yu Dilong's momentum changed completely, "Single challenge?!"
Lu Yunchang had a headache. He really couldn't defeat this earthworm.
At this moment, I saw the master and his wife walking out of the courtyard together. There was some inexplicable joy hidden in Wang Sheng's eyes.
Pei Nanwei walked the four masters and apprentices all the way to the corner of the alley, and then she quickly turned and left.
The four of them walked on that winding street, only Yu Dilong, who originally needed to rush to Hulukou, Youzhou, led the horse.
Xu Fengnian suddenly said: "Yu Dilong, there is a child named Gou Youfang in Wudang Mountain. Please pay more attention to him in the future."
Yu Dilong said in surprise: "Ah? Why?"
Xu Fengnian was playful: "Xie Guanying, Deng Tai'a, and the first generation of saints of the Zhang family are all considered half of his masters. In the future, they may also add half of Wudang leader Li Yuaxu. Why do you think?"
Yu Dilong said indifferently, obviously he still didn't care much.
Xu Fengnian snorted coldly: "Lu Yunchang, I remind you not to be evil-minded, do you remember that?!"
Lu Yunchang made a face and held the back of his head with both hands, "I know."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "There will be some of your opponents too."
Lu Yunchang suddenly jumped for joy, "Who is this person?!"
Xu Fengnian said inexplicably: "It is possible to become the third most powerful person in the world, and he is younger than you."
Xu Fengnian¡¯s words became a prophecy.
And the position of the third master in the world is always in the hands of a woman who wields a knife.
Her surname is Tao.
Xu Fengnian looked back and shouted loudly: "In three or four years at most, let's go to Jiangnan together."
In the alley, Pei Nanwei, who had been hiding in place without leaving, secretly raised the corners of his mouth.
She spread her arms, her fingertips lightly touched the alley wall, and walked briskly towards the courtyard.
Because she felt that it was only three or four years, and she was not old yet at that time.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
On the Guangling River, on a brightly lit Huanglong Tower boat, a man and a woman stood side by side on the bow to enjoy the scenery.
The young man wearing the python robe of King Liyang said softly: "You have been wronged."
The beautiful woman gently held his hand and shook her head with a gentle smile.
The young vassal king slapped the railing heavily, "This Song Li is so brave! Wait for me"
She suddenly covered his mouth.
The young vassal king held her hand with a sad look on his face. He turned around and stared at her face that he could never tire of looking at. He forced out a smile and said, "Don't worry, I, Zhao Xun, won't be depressed just yet!"
The three major vassal kings of Liyang, Zhao Bing, King of Yanchi, Chen Zhibao, King of Shu, and Zhao Xun, King of Jingan, joined forces to rebel. Among them, Zhao Bing received the most infamy, Chen Zhibao was the most feared and feared, and Zhao Xun was the most lamented.
Even though everyone in the government and the public knew that Zhao Xun would be dethroned by the other two vassal kings in the future, there were still many Liyang civil servants who firmly believed that the young vassal king was forcibly imprisoned during the Chunxue Tower Incident and was used by Zhao and Chen to deceive the world. The poor puppet.
Tai'an City was actually only half right. It was true that Zhao Xun was unwilling to raise an army to rebel, but it was false to say that Zhao Xun had no intention of usurping the throne.
The two generations of vassal kings, from Zhao Heng to Zhao Xun, the two generations of vassal kings of Jingan, whose territory was located in the central plains, have always had the ambition to compete in the world. The two generations of Northern Liang kings knew this, Yuan Benxi, Liyang's former imperial master, knew it, the blind man Lu Xu who once served as an aide in the palace knew it, and now Nalan Youci also knows it.
Zhao Xun regretted why he didn¡¯t want to believe that piece of paper and the words on that piece of paper.The traces were not unfamiliar to him. They were the handwriting of the maid next to the blind man, asking Zhao Xun to quickly return to the jurisdiction of Jing'an Road after Wu Chongxuan put down the war on Guangling Road.
But Zhao Xun really wanted to take the woman next to him to appreciate the scenery of Guangling Road, and he also wanted to have a good relationship with those military officers and civil servants who were bound to rise in the court. That's why I decided that it wouldn't be too late to leave Guangling Road after attending the celebration banquet at Chunxuelou.
Then came the current situation. At first, Zhao Xun thought it was a blessing in disguise, because someone told him personally that he would help Zhao Xun become emperor. Zhao Xun chose to believe it no matter what the conspiracy was. After all, that person said such things. It is more convincing than if King Zhao Bing of Yan Dynasty said it himself.
The reason is very simple. That person¡¯s name is Nalan Youci.
It¡¯s just that in the recent period, Zhao Xun has been very frustrated and depressed. Song Li, the general who was born in Chunxuelou, was among all the Liyang officials in Guangling Road. His rank was second only to Jiedushi Lu Baijie and Jing Jing. He was the deputy military envoy of Wang Xionggui. Now that he has continued his military exploits on the northern front, he has become more arrogant and domineering. Not long ago, he boarded a building ship, smiled and shamelessly asked for the woman next to him!
Zhao Xun was so angry that he was shaking all over, but in the end he didn't say a single harsh word.
After all, Song Li did not dare to rob openly on the ship. This famous general Xiangfu, who was scolded by Tai'an City as a "family slave with three surnames", did not forget to "kindly" remind the young vassal king before disembarking: "With the age of the old princess, , no matter how long the beauty lasts, how many more years will it last? Why not give me Song Li's golden house to hide her beauty, I will definitely repay you in the future!"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After the restoration of Western Chu, the army of the Liyang imperial court finally broke through the capital of Western Chu. Song Li naturally gained a lot and said, "I only hate that Empress Jiang is dead at Xi Lei."
"The wall" sighed. Then it was Zhao Bing's army that occupied this ill-fated city, and Song Li decisively chose to rely on King Yan Chi with his prominent position as General Liyang Zhennan. How could Song Li be left empty-handed? Rumors continued. At a banquet where people were discussing merit and rewards, King Zhao Bing of Yan Dynasty jokingly asked him face to face, "General Song, do you need to buy a house to raise beauties?" Song Li, who was highly regarded, only answered one sentence, which impressed all the men present, "The more of both, the better!" King Yan Chi applauded and promised on the spot: "I will never let General Song down in this life!" From now on, on the day when all previous rouge reviews from the Central Plains are released, one of the most beautiful women on the list will be sent to the Song Dynasty! "
Besides, Song Li was not only deeply trusted by King Zhao Bing of Yan Chi, but was boldly granted military power. Song Li also had a close relationship with Zhao Zhu, the crown prince of King Yan Chi, and called him brothers.
Facing a celebrity like Song Li, how can Zhao Xun, who has only the title of vassal king, deal with it?
Zhao Xun frowned, looking at the scattered lights of the naval vessels on the river.
She stretched out her hand to smooth his forehead.
He smiled, "Let's go back to the cabin!"
The two returned to the luxurious residence that was like a prison. There was a beautifully carved clothes hanger in the cabin. On the hanger, there was actually a magnificent yellow dragon robe!
When Nalan Youci came to visit as a guest, the only remaining counselor of the Spring and Autumn Period was accompanied by a maid holding a dragon robe.
During this period of time, Liyang Domain King Zhao Xun stroked the dragon robe again and again, with eyes obsessed with him, silently counting the golden dragons.
Tonight, he came to the clothes rack again, stretched out his hand to touch the golden dragon on the dragon robe, and finally even squatted down and touched the "sea water and river ends" at the bottom.
The young man suddenly raised his head and looked at her, and asked with a smile: "Did you know that in this dragon robe, there are four dragons and four lines of dragons, but only eight golden dragons can be seen. Why is the number not the nine in the Nine-Five Lord?" "
She thought for a while, "The emperor is the real dragon emperor, so if he puts on the dragon robe, he will be nine?"
He stood up and laughed loudly, reached out and pinched her cheek, shook his head and said, "You are wrong, the last golden dragon is embroidered on the placket. If you don't believe it, go open the placket and take a look."
She hesitated for a moment, never touching the piece of clothing that every man in the world coveted.
Zhao Xun suddenly took off the dragon robe, asked the woman to stand up, and then helped her put on the dragon robe!
She was stunned and at a loss from beginning to end.
After Zhao Xun carefully straightened the skirt of the dragon robe for the woman, he took a few steps back, his eyes were red, and he smiled softly: "I know that there are many people in Jing'an Road calling you a vassal queen and calling you a beauty. It¡¯s a disaster, but I don¡¯t care.¡±
She hesitated to speak.
Zhao Xun let the tears flow, "I know you are not her, not her I don't care who you are, the spy who was placed beside me. I cared about you at first, but now I don't care at all Why? I like you, I OnlyI like you. Even if you have a different appearance now, I still like you
you¡¡"
Shu shamefully bit her lip, strands of blood oozing out.
Zhao Xun suddenly showed a smile, bent down and bowed, and said softly: "My husband has seen my wife."
There are bright candles in the house.
She is wearing a dragon robe, like a woman wearing a wedding dress.
She slowly gave a blessing and said in a graceful voice: "Your Majesty."
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
The same is on the Guangling River, and the same is in the Huanglong Tower boat.
Wearing casual clothes, Zhao Bing, the king of Yanchi, was sitting on an embroidery stool, raising a glass and drinking.
Although the old man did not wear the lord's python robe or iron armor, he still had great authority. In fact, among the many princes of Liyang who participated in the seizure of the throne, Zhao Bing had the most outstanding military exploits and was the well-deserved number one in the clan with the surname Zhao. people.
According to legend, when Zhao Bing was on his way from Beijing to the vassal camp, crossing the Guangling River in the south, he raised his whip and looked north, smiling at the counselor beside him and asking: "Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling, Zhao Heng, the king of Jing'an, Zhao Ying, the king of Huainan, and Zhao Sui, the king of Jiaodong." , these guys together, do they have half as much military capability as me?"
An extraordinary and handsome middle-aged man was leaning against the window, looking sideways at the roaring river, holding a cup with three fingers and gently twirling it.
King Yan Chi was so decisive in the hearts of the civil and military forces in southern Xinjiang. Zhao Bing sighed heavily and said helplessly: "Sir, can't you let those two bastards go? At least let them live. Anyway, there will be no trouble in the future. ¡±
Nalan Youci did not turn around and said calmly: "You bastards? Both of you are Zhao Bing's biological sons. Why are you scolding yourself?"
Zhao Bing was immediately speechless.
Nalan Youci continued: "The two sons of the dignified King Yanchi deliberately leaked military aircraft to Tai'an City, and almost caused His Highness the Crown Prince to die in the southern battlefield of Gyeonggi. Not to mention the two sons, even their father dared to do this. I You have to be beaten to death."
Zhao Bing rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid of you."
Nalan Youci finally turned around and said seriously: "Do you want to be an only son who can sit firmly on the dragon's throne, or do you want to be a shabby founding emperor who will subjugate his country after only a few years of wearing the dragon robe?"
Zhao Bing waved his hand as if he had a headache: "Sir, the final say! Damn it, I can beat you once in my life."
Nalan Youci smiled and asked: "Then I will send an order to bring two glasses of wine for the child to drink?"
Zhao Bing immediately became embarrassed again, bowed his head and said nothing.
Nalan Youci did not force the vassal king to make an immediate decision. He turned to look out the window again, as if saying to himself: "After all, the tiger's poison cannot eat its food. If you can do this without hesitation, , I, Nalan Youci, would not have assisted you to this point, and of course, I would not be alive now."
Zhao Bing put down his wine glass, clenched his hands into fists, and exhaled a heavy breath, "Just do what you said, sir! I, Zhao Bing, will pretend I never gave birth to these two sons!"
Nalan Youci nodded, "You, you should be content with having such a good son like Zhao Zhu. Look at the son of the old King of Jing'an, Zhao Heng, Zhao Xun, who dreamed of becoming the emperor. In the end, he even lost his beloved woman. We can¡¯t even protect him. Look at the son of Northern Liang King Xu Xiao, Xu Fengnian"
The first half of the sentence is quite heart-warming, but the second half? Zhao Bing couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Stop it, stop it! Are you being rude?! You scholars are full of bad ideas!"
Nalan Youci laughed it off.
Zhao Bing¡¯s mood improved a little, and he advised softly: ¡°The wind in the river is strong, and your body is weak Anyway, it¡¯s better not to stand at the window to blow the wind.¡±
Nalan Youci sat back on the stool, poured a glass of wine for Zhao Bing, and said slowly: "The most interesting thing about the ancients is that everything has a story that hurts the heart. It's a pity, Rouge Li The most famous red cheeks are tributes, and ordinary people cannot buy them even if they have money. What a pity, the women in Huadiao
It¡¯s red, but it doesn¡¯t taste good at all. "
Zhao Bing took the wine glass and drank from it, which was said to have been buried under the ground for more than ten years. He thought deeply and said: "This wine is not good to drink!"
Nalan Youci sighed with emotion: "The purpose of a scholar is to drink, eat, read, write, and pass on all the 'interesting things' of the ancients."
Zhao Bing asked: "What about people like me and Xu Laizi?"
Nalan Youci smiled and said, "You guys, the only purpose of making a scholar's life less comfortable is to prevent the scholar from forgetting his roots and forgetting his roots."
Zhao Bing reached out and picked up a piece of soy beef as a side dish with wine, chewed it carefully, and after a long silence, he nodded and said, "It tastes good!"
Nalan Youci is straightforwardHe said: "Don't pretend to understand. It's been almost thirty years and a dog still can't change its habit of eating shit."
Zhao Bing didn¡¯t take it seriously and laughed loudly, ¡°I exposed it to you again, sir!¡±
Thinking back to the time when the two of them first met in the capital of Liyang, Liyang was still just a corner of the barbarian country in the north, and Zhao Bing was just one of the many princes with a low reputation.
At that time, there were four people present, three of whom were familiar to each other: the prince Zhao Bing, general Xu Xiao, a poor scholar Li Yishan, and Nalan Youci.
Among the four, Nalan Youci, who came from a rich family, was the most famous. Zhao Bing and Xu Xiao were far inferior, and Li Yishan was even more famous.
At that gathering, after getting drunk, Zhao Bing stepped on the bench and laughed loudly with all his pride: "I knew I would have to pee when I drank, but I didn't know I drank urine in the first place!"
Then Nalan Youci, who was as graceful as a god, sneered: "I knew I would have to poop when eating, why not eat poop in the first place?"
Zhao Bing couldn¡¯t sit still and fell to the ground.
Zhao Bing only remembered that Xu Xiao extended his thumb towards Nalan Youci and Li Yishan shook his head without saying a word.
He is now, this year.
Two of the four are dead. Fortunately, the two who are alive are not only alive, but can also sit opposite each other and drink together.
Zhao Bing looked at this counselor whose charm was still eye-catching, and said softly: "Sir, the greatest blessing in Zhao Bing's life is that he has been with him for thirty years."
This counselor of the Spring and Autumn Period never married or had children in his life.
No matter what Nalan Youci's original intention was, King Zhao Bing of Yanchi knew very well that if Mr. Nalan had an heir, there would be many changes in the world in the future, just like when Xu Xiao had his eldest son, he immediately had an heir. That white-clothed case in Beijing.
Zhao Bing may not be as ruthless as the old emperor, but he will definitely be like a stick in the throat.
Zhao Bing also poured a glass of wine for Nalan Youci, "Lu Shengxiang has a young general named Guo Dongfeng under his command, which is quite difficult. Even Zhang Dingyuan and Gu Ying suffered losses one after another."
Nalan Youci smiled and said: "You are allowed to have a general in Zhao Bing, but not a good general in Liyang?"
Southern Xinjiang Infantry Generals Zhang Dingyuan, Gu Ying, Yuanzhou General Ye Xiufeng, Hezhou General Liang Yue, and Wu Chongxuan's Tanghe Li Chunyu and others are all quite capable generals.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With a large group of surrendered generals such as?Song Li, Yuan Tingshan and Qi Shence, as well as Dian Xiongxiu, Wei Fucheng and others under the white-robed soldier saint, it is definitely enough to capture the Tai'an City in Liyang!
On the other hand, under the young Zhao Zhuan, there are only Lu Shengxiang, Tang Tieshuang, Xu Gong, Yang Huchen and others, only a handful of them.
Of course there are other people in Tai'an City who know how to run an army and use troops, and there must be many of them, but they may not have the opportunity to lead troops, such as Zhao Yang, the king of Changshan County, Gao Shizhi, Duke of Yan, and Song Daoning, the Marquis of Huaiyang.
When competing in the world, the general trend is the most important!
It is a general trend to cross the Guangling River in one go. It is also a general trend to win over Zhao Xun, the king of Jing'an. It is also a general trend to successfully instigate Wu Chongxuan!
In fact, in this process, King Yanchi Zhao Bing did not consume much troops, but anyone with a discerning eye would know that the general trend of the world has turned towards him, Zhao Bing.
Of course, real big battles, hard battles and death battles still have to be fought. If you want to finally conquer the world, especially rebellion, there is never a one-and-done deal. Even after you sit on the throne, you may have to go back and forth ten times. Years.
However, Nalan Youci has already given countermeasures to all of this. It may not be possible to cover every aspect, but Zhao Bing is not really as rumored by the outside world. He is just a mediocre vassal king like a marionette. His vassal king The title is only less valuable than Wang Xuxiao with a different surname!
To put it bluntly, if Zhao Bing can still lose after Mr. Nalan created this great situation, he will really die.
Zhao Bing suddenly lowered his voice and asked: "Chen Zhibao is really allowed to lead an army of 80,000 to attack Jizhou?"
After Chen Zhibao rushed to the Central Plains, he had a total of 60,000 Xishu infantry. This time Zhao Bing gave the white-robed soldier 20,000 elite cavalry, and it was a well-deserved 20,000 elite cavalry.
Nalan Youci said calmly: "There is no place for him in the world, not even a place to stand."
Zhao Bing frowned and said, "May I ask, sir, how can you see it?"
Nalan Youci answered the question, "What was Zhang Julu like on top of the Liyang Temple before his death?"
Zhao Bing drank slowly and thought about it carefully. Finally he raised his head and laughed at himself: "I don't quite understand, but since Mr. said so, I think so."
Nalan Youci sighed and said with a complex expression: "Zhao Bing, there are so many heroes in the world, but there is a reason why you won the world in the end."
Zhao BingGrinning, he asked, "Sir, are you complimenting me?"
Nalan Youci said angrily: "There is no more wine."
Zhao Bing stood up and whispered: "Get some rest early. The overall situation has been decided. Sir, don't worry too much. I will return to Tai'an City with you."
Nalan Youci nodded.
After King Yan Chi walked out of the cabin, he said in a deep voice to the five stunning maids outside the house: "Take good care of me, sir!"
Dongyue, Xishu, Fengdu, three corpses, riding on shoes.
The five maids quietly accepted the order.
After Zhao Bing walked out for a few steps, he turned around and reminded a woman: "Come on, hurry in and add a coat to your husband!"
The maidservant smiled sweetly and left quickly to pick up the valuable mink fur that the feudal king had just sent to her not long ago.
When Nalan Youci walked out of the house carrying a jug of wine, the maidservant brought the mink fur. After putting it on, he and the five maidservants walked to the deck of the ship and to the bow railing.
Nalan Youci held the pot in front of him with one hand and behind his back with the other. He narrowed his eyes and murmured.
"A Zhang Julu is looking for death. A half-Gu Jiantang is desperate."
¡°Next is Chen Zhibao, and finally it¡¯s your turn, Xu Fengnian.¡±
The maidservant who had been to Jubei City in Beiliang asked softly: "Sir, why don't you go to the northwest to see it yourself?"
Nalan Youci shook his head and said, "No need."
There was a long silence, the only sound in the world was the sound of the river.
He suddenly threw the wine bottle in his hand into the Guangling River, and then said: "Go and call Lin Hongyuan from Chunxue Tower."
About an hour and a half later, Lin Hongyuan from the Southern Xinjiang Dragon Palace came to the ship.
Nalan Youci had already returned to the cabin. After Lin Hongyuan closed the door, he stretched out his hand to motion for the woman to sit opposite.
Lin Hongyuan sat upright.
Nalan Youci smiled, "Are you feeling guilty for deceiving the one you love?"
Lin Hongyuan suddenly blushed and defended: "Sir, I don't like"
Nalan Youci said softly: "It is true that you will know quickly whether you like it or not, but the feelings beyond liking may not be known immediately. You are still young, and it may take many years to know. If you are here During this period, if you fall in love with someone else, that¡¯s a different matter.¡±
Lin Hongyuan was at a loss and frightened.
Back then, in that restaurant at the foot of Wudang Mountain, the conspiracy that invisibly dragged many people into the water, the interlocking encounters and assassinations, were exactly the result of the layout of the Lord of the Dragon Palace. To be precise, he sat down Mr. Nalan opposite her.
??It is aimed at both the young lord and the young prince.
It¡¯s not about killing people, it¡¯s about killing people¡¯s hearts.
Nalan Youci looked a little tired, and said in a low voice: "Lin Hongyuan, if you have the opportunity in the future, go and say sorry to that person, not only for yourself, but also for me, Nalan Youci."
Nalan Youci gently repeated: "If there is still a chance."
Lin Hongyuan left the building in a daze.
Finally, Nalan Youci let the five maids walk into the house and said with a soft smile: "Queen, don't think about it. After all, there is Zhang Gaoxia, but according to Li Yanglu, there are four imperial concubines in the harem. Who among you doesn't want to As a royal concubine, take a step forward."
Nalan Youci didn¡¯t ask who wanted to do it, but who didn¡¯t want to.
This is directly aimed at the human heart.
All five people took a step forward.
Almost at the same time.
Almost.
Only one person walked a little slower.
Nalan Youci didn¡¯t point out anything, he just smiled and said: ¡°Sir, I understand, please go down.¡±
Since the four silly girls are not willing to be the birds in the cage, then she is the one.
But Nalan Youci also knew that she, who was not the smartest and most elegant among the five, really wanted to be the imperial concubine. She was just afraid that if her husband, who had no heirs, died, some people would unscrupulously settle accounts with her in the future.
The crown prince Zhao Zhu, and the emperor Zhao Zhu.
There will be two people.
No wonder Zhao Zhu, the Crown Prince¡¯s character is actually kind and kind enough.
Even if Xu Fengnian becomes the emperor, it will be the same.
Nalan Youci was lying on the table with sleepy eyes.
I feel a little sad for her.
In the world of love affairs between men and women, after the love is deepest, the one who lives longer will often be more painful.
Nalan Youci slowly closed his eyes and whispered a name.
Yishan.
?¡°All the heroic women in the world only hate that they are born as girls.
But I, Nalan Youci, only hate that I am a man.
The word "love" doesn't know where it comes from or where it lives. I don¡¯t know the knot, I don¡¯t know the solution. Nowhere to be found, no where to end.
¡°I don¡¯t know what you know, but I don¡¯t know what to do.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
The autumn wind is chilling.
In the northeastern area bordering the fertile Jiangnan Road and the barren Lianghuai Road, a dozen horses stopped on the top of a mountain.
Dian Xiongchu and Wei Fucheng, one of the Four Teeth of Beiliang in the past, were among them. The rider between them was a young general who had followed them to leave Liang for Sichuan.
A man in white is holding the famous plum wine at an angle.
The knight next to the white-robed soldier saint is His Royal Highness Prince Zhao Zhu. He clasped his fists and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, I won't send him away!"
Chen Zhibao just nodded, clamped the horse's belly, took the lead, and rode north along the ridge road.
Dian Xiongchu and Wei Fucheng followed closely behind, both of them smiled and patted the young man hard on the shoulder.
The young knight¡¯s face was filled with tears, but he never spoke from the beginning to the end.
Zhao Zhu sighed, winked at the young cavalry officer and said, "Che Ye! Why do I feel like a playboy who robbed a girl? It feels very sinful."
The young man named Che Ye snorted coldly, and soon returned to his rigid face. He is worthy of being known as the "Little King of Shu" in Western Shu Road, and he is the true successor of Chen Zhibao.
Zhao Zhu really likes this guy, but he can't help it. Yushu Linfeng is not only handsome and unrestrained, but he is also extremely ferocious when leading troops in battles. Even his confidant generals, Zhang Dingyuan, Gu Ying and others are convinced by him. How could Zhao Zhu not be tempted by such a talent, so when Chen Zhibao decided to
After leaving Che Ye to himself, Zhao Zhu almost wanted to set off a few firecrackers to celebrate. Whether Che Ye was at Lazikou at the junction of Wushou on Xishu Road and Lingzhou in Beiliang Road, followed Chen Zhibao in the charge on Guangling Road, or attacked Lu Shengxiang's army before, he showed his amazing talent in transporting troops. Talent
, ruthless and accurate, possessing a talent for grasping fighter opportunities that can only be explained by intuition, so Zhao Zhu often joked, Che Ye, if you are willing to betray His Highness the King of Shu, I will let you be my subordinate, Zhao Zhu The number one general will remain unchanged for a hundred years!
Che Ye stayed behind, and Hezhou General Liang Yue and Yuanzhou General Ye Xiufeng, who followed His Royal Highness to stop at the top of the mountain, were very relieved.
Zhao Zhu turned to look at the tall and handsome young woman, and said with a smile: "Gao Xia, let me tell you, I will definitely take you into Tai'an City. When the time comes, you must not forget that oath. ah?"
Zhang Gaoxia, whose ears were red, said expressionlessly: "We'll wait until you enter Tai'an City!"
Zhang Gaoxia is the daughter of the chief assistant Zhang Julu who fled after his death.
The two martial arts masters, Gong Banque and the female boxing master Lin Ya, who had stayed with Zhao Zhu since they left Martial Emperor City, looked at each other and smiled.
After long-term contact, both of them were very satisfied with His Royal Highness the Prince of Yanchi. He was both a hero and a tyrant.
To put it simply, it is the Ming Lord!
A scholar never tires of learning, so he can become a saint. Only when a wise master is not tired of others can he become powerful!
Zhao Zhu caught a glimpse of the taciturn knight out of the corner of his eye. Compared to Liang Yue or Lin Ya, who were approaching in twos and threes, this man seemed particularly out of place.
The surname is Jiang.
However, Mr. Nalan revealed the secret. This man named Jiang Huding was actually the illegitimate son of Emperor Liyang¡¯s master, Yuan Benxi.
Zhao Zhu only knew that Lin Ya, a master of boxing, was an old acquaintance of him, and even a blind person could see that the proud female master, Jiang Huding, who was ten years younger than her, had a strange feeling, but for some reason, the two sides were clearly in love with each other. They are in love, but they are unwilling to pierce the window paper.
Zhao Zhu was worried for them. He tried to help them face to face several times, but nothing ended well. Once, Lin Ya, who was so angry, punched him in the face with a "gentle" punch. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen for half a month. At that time, As long as Zhao Zhu shows up in the army, there must be many direct generals who know everything about him.
They were words of "sadness", "I never imagined that the war would be so tragic. His Royal Highness was working hard on the front line!" "The general only regrets that he cannot share the worries of His Royal Highness. He cannot make contributions on the battlefield and will not escape the death penalty!" When those elders make fun of them, His Highness the Young Prince will laugh and pull
They called their father-in-law and threatened to consummate the bridal chamber when he came back. One of them, the handsome general Gu Ying, had only a young son but no daughter. Logically speaking, he could escape the disaster, but unexpectedly the prince's palaceThen he said something serious, "Given my father-in-law Gu's appearance and demeanor, I, Zhao Zhu, can bear it for a while and wait."
It¡¯s not impossible for that child to be four or five years old! "His Royal Highness, whose bruises were almost gone with great difficulty, was punched again.
Gu Ying, Zhang Dingyuan, who is leading the army to fight on the front line, Liang Yue Ye Xiufeng who followed Zhao Zhu here, and even Tang He, Li Chunyu and others who were once Wu Zhongxuan's generals. As long as they are from southern Xinjiang generals, none of them would care about His Royal Highness Zhao Zhu. Exceptions are appreciated.
Nalan Youci once made a final conclusion about this young man, "Who wouldn't like the warmth of winter, which warms people without burning them?"
Therefore, although Zhao Zhu is the legitimate son of King Zhao Bing of Yanchi, he is not the eldest son. However, when Southern Xinjiang was appointed as the eldest son of the feudal lord, Zhao Bing neither chose his elder brother, nor was he the youngest son who was doted on by the princess.
Zhao Zhu sighed softly in his heart.
He actually had a grudge against Jiang Huding.
Because whether in the world or in the temple, this person has a deep hatred for that person.
However, after Jiang Huding arrived, Mr. Nalan joked to Zhao Zhu in private: How high your royal highness, the Crown Prince, will be in the future, and how high Jiang Huding's status is under your command now will be known at a glance. You might as well do it yourself. Weigh, weigh.
In the end, Nalan Youci went straight to the point and asked: "If you sit north and face south in Tai'an City in the future, can you tolerate the likes of Yuan Tingshan and Jin Lanting, who can rise to prominence under your nose, Zhao Zhu?"
Zhao Zhu did not give an answer at that time, whether he was unwilling or unable.
¡°Perhaps I am afraid that I will disappoint Mr. Nalan.
But maybe I¡¯m more afraid of letting myself down.
Zhao Zhu sat quietly on his horse and looked northwest.
It¡¯s not just because their three masters in southern Xinjiang, Cheng Baishuang, Mao Shulang, and Ji Liuan, were standing in that place at the same time.
There, there was once a peer who would call me a little beggar.
On the top of the mountain, Linciao and Gongbanque are also seen from a distance.
Fellow disciples Yu Groom and Lou Huang were both there. Although Yu Bridegroom was still alive, Lou Huang had died in the battle outside Jubei City.
The same is true for Jiang Huding. His best friend, Zhao Kai, the illegitimate son of the late Emperor Zhao Dun, died at the hands of that young vassal king. And his father has been against that man's father for most of his life. The grievances of the two generations , so far there has not been a clean and tidy ending!
Cheye is naturally no exception. Although he was born in Beimang, outside the pass there, he once fought alongside the white-robed soldier sage as one of Beiliang's 300,000 cavalrymen.
Liang Yue and Ye Xiufeng also looked there. As military generals, how could they not yearn for such breathtaking and majestic battlefields!
For thousands of years, cavalry warfare outside the Northwest Pass has been unique!
Zhao Zhu slowly looked away, turned around and asked loudly: "Mr. Jiang, the family letter from the aunt Xu has almost been handed over to Xu Gong, right?"
Jiang Huding nodded.
Zhao Zhu suddenly turned over and dismounted. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he knelt down and pulled out a piece of unknown grass that was half yellow and half green. He chewed it and said with a smile: "If you want your minister to die, but the minister refuses to die, it is disloyal. A father wants his son to die, but the son does not." Death is unfilial. Now we have to see whether this Lord Jiedushi comes first with loyalty or filial piety."
Then Zhao Zhu grinned and said: "Yang Huchen and Han Fang, the two Jizhou generals, were too shameless. They directly placed Ma Zhongxian and Wen Taiyi, who treated them politely, under house arrest, seized the military power of Jing'an Road, and occupied the hinterland of the Central Plains in one go. It's a bit of a headache. I'll definitely have a drink with them if I have the chance.
???????????????????????????????? "
Zhao Zhu likes to make friends with a lot of acquaintances, and even the ones he is more familiar with will hook up with each other, regardless of the other person's status.
Zhao Zhu raised his head, smiled at everyone and said, "You guys wait for me at the foot of the mountain for half an hour at most."
In the end, only Zhang Gaoxia stayed, and everyone else rode down the mountain.
Zhang Gaoxia stood beside the squatting young prince and said softly: "Are you afraid that you will turn against his brother in the future?"
Zhao Zhu curled his lips, "That guy is such a generous person. He won't care about me, right?"
??Maybe he is asking himself, maybe he is asking about Zhang Gaoxia, whom he has a soft spot for, or maybe he is asking that person across thousands of mountains and rivers.
Zhao Zhu simply sat cross-legged, raised his head, and said softly: "If you are really angry, just punch me twice and promise not to fight back! Haha, but I, the little beggar, will be the emperor after all by then. The two brothers can just compete in private."
Zhang Gaoxia looked down and found it hard to imagine such a tough-minded young man.People will show this kind of weakness.
At this moment, she seemed to really know this man named Zhao Zhu.
She knelt down and gently wiped away his tears. She never knew how to comfort others, so she could only say: "I will always be by your side in the future."
The young man hummed.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
The world is not peaceful.
Fortunately, Hujia City is an important town in the northern part of Aquarius Prefecture. Since it has not yet been affected by the raging war, coupled with the influx of many high-ranking aristocrats from the south to the north, Hujia City has shown a morbid appearance. A scene of prosperity. The fall of the Southern Dynasty is imminent, and most of the people in Beiting are nomads on the grassland. The household system of the Beimang Dynasty has also collapsed. It doesn't matter whether there is a road guide. In troubled times, carrying real money and silver is more useful than anything else if you want to enter a city. To seek asylum, no matter what your status is, you have to pay a large toll. The amount of toll is often directly linked to the height of the town wall. At this time, a man who looked like a scribe from the Southern Dynasties was walking slowly in the crowd. There was no powerful servant escorting him. The ivory white satin robe had long been dusty and turned gray. Pedestrians on the road were not surprised. Countless families of the Southern Dynasties The disciples all looked like a phoenix that had lost its feathers and was worse than a chicken. On the way to escape, even many beautiful concubines and maidservants were personally given to the powerful nobles of Beiting who held military power. This man with a slovenly beard has neither a sword nor a sword, but if he still has the time to look carefully, a woman of a certain age who is more familiar with the love affairs of men and women may be able to tell that this man will have a picture if he shaves his beard. An extremely handsome and weathered face.
Nowadays, Beimang is filled with a culture of taking advantage of the disaster. Taking advantage of the disaster of the Southern Dynasties, many rich and noble women in Beiting who like to support good-looking people have gained a lot. I don¡¯t know how many young people from the Southern Dynasties have fallen into their pockets. Plaything. Just at this moment, a carriage pulled by two majestic war horses opened the curtain, revealing the face of a woman who was not even a middle-aged woman. Her eyes were wandering, like an eagle catching prey. After a circle, she selected the one. The two frail scholars walking together, as she pointed her finger, the thick and strong maid in the carriage quickly went to "solve problems" for her master, called the leading knight in the eight-horse regiment, and whispered A few words.
The knight nodded, galloped on his horse, and dispersed the crowd without any scruples. When he arrived in front of the two panicking young men, the burly knight sat high on the horse and gently twirled his sword, frightening the faces of the two men. Snow White, when the knight bluntly told the identity and intention of his master, and then pointed the carriage with the tip of his sword, the two young men hesitated for a moment, then the knight sneered and drew out the sword, rubbing the tip of the sword with two fingers. . The two of them quickly accepted their fate and followed the knight from the general's palace to the carriage. After sitting in the carriage, they felt both the embarrassment of insulting their family tradition and the relief of selling themselves to seek peace. The woman who was still holding the curtain glanced at them, the corners of her mouth raised. She had thin arms and thin legs. Although her arms were not necessarily as thick as hers, this was what it felt like to be a scholar after all. She withdrew her gaze and looked at the slender figure who had just caught a glimpse and couldn't let it go. She hesitated whether to include another male favorite, but the already slightly crowded carriage made her give up this charming idea, and the carriage continued to move forward. When she passed that person, she thought for a moment. Since she had no more thoughts for the time being, she felt that she couldn't take advantage of those girls in the city who always liked to compete with her and be jealous, in case this person accidentally became their backdrop. Being a guest, how awkward is that? No one can get what you don¡¯t want.
So she asked the strong maid to send a message to the group of followers to kill the man who looked very comfortable just a moment ago.
In troubled times, human life is as cheap as a peace dog. Life and death only depend on some people's thoughts. As the head wife of a powerful general, she lowered the curtain and raised her ears, waiting for the pleasant sound of a sword piercing the chest or simply chopping off the head. If it was just because her husband was a member of the Aquarius State, she would naturally not dare to act erratically like this. But if her man only took this position because of her noble family name, then in Hujia City, there would be no such thing. A few people dared to make irresponsible remarks because she abducted a few refugees on the street and "accidentally killed" a few untouchables.
But after waiting for a moment, she still didn't hear the beautiful sound she expected. She raised the curtain in confusion, and the centurion of the personal guard returned to the window, bowed behind him and said with a look of horror: "Madam, that guy suddenly disappeared!"
The woman said angrily: "Escaped? Can that guy's two legs be faster than the four legs of a war horse?!"
The centurion was frightened not because of the woman's anger, but because of his own strange experience. He hurriedly explained: "Madam, my subordinate just rushed in front of the man and slashed him with his sword, but the guy just disappeared out of thin air!"
The woman frowned and murmured: "Did you see a ghost in the daytime? Could it be that he is a martial arts master who hides his secrets? It doesn't make sense, we Beimang martial arts masters are all fighting almost completely in Beiliang."?, even if there is a fish that slips through the net, it will either continue to serve in the army, or be absorbed by the wealthy families of the Southern Dynasty as a guard. "
Although the woman and her family are the best among the local forces in Aquarius State, they are not arrogant enough to provoke those legendary strangers flying around. The few battles on the Liangmang border were the pinnacle of the masters of both sides. Although not many details of the war have been circulated, the world finally understood a bloody truth. One thousand enemies on the battlefield may not determine the direction of a large-scale battle, but two, three, or even dozens of martial arts With the Grand Master appearing hand in hand, Beimang's 20,000 or 30,000 cavalrymen are simply not enough to kill. Even if an army of 200,000 people wants to advance further, it will be difficult to reach the sky! The woman who could be said to be as prosperous as Beimang's country had a gloomy look on her face, and she cursed the Beiliang barbarians for their stubbornness, especially the King of Beiliang who had made Beimang suffer so much.
When the woman decided to settle the matter, she waved her hand to indicate that the loyal centurion did not need to pursue the man. She lowered the curtain and suddenly noticed an unnatural breeze blowing against her face. Not only the woman, but also the strong maid and two people in the carriage The scholar who was caught in the trap was dumbfounded. Only then did the woman realize that there was an uninvited guest sitting next to her. Her chest was rising and falling violently. She turned her head with difficulty and looked at the strange man who was a dusty man from before but could not hide his temperament. The woman sitting on the embroidered pier was indeed a woman from a wealthy family. Even though her fists were clenched and trembling slightly, she still had a sweet smile on her face and raised her hand to stop the maid from trying to protect her after she regained consciousness. , smiled and said: "This master, is he robbing wealth or sex? No matter which one it is, because of my courage and courage that deeply impressed the slave family, even if he robs both, the slave family will accept his fate."
The man laughed it off and said softly: "Mrs. Shentu is disappointed. I just want a very detailed map of the two cities of Hujia Stone Stele."
The woman asked with a charming smile: "Are you a spy from Beiliang? The slave family is timid. If we are accused of colluding with Beiliang, the nine tribes will be destroyed."
The man's expression seemed a little impatient, but his tone was still kind, and he said: "My time is precious, and I believe Mrs. Shentu's life is also precious. I don't mind if I can't get the map within half an hour"
The woman pretended to be a little girl and patted her chest, interrupting the man's words, and said pitifully: "I'm scared to death. Master, you are an upright hero, why do you have to deal with a weak woman? Of course, two copies The map is not a very important thing to the slave family, as long as I go to the slave family¡¯s house"
The next moment, Gu Zuoyuan said that his wife could no longer utter a word, because her head and body were stuck to the back wall of the carriage, like a piece of tissue paper being nailed into the wall, and her entire expression quickly changed. The redness turned to pale and then to livid, like a fish being pulled ashore, its life hanging by a thread.
The maidservant had already fainted, and lay limply on the ground like mud, not knowing whether she was alive or dead. The remaining two young men who had finally escaped from Longyao Prefecture to Hujia City remained silent, trying hard to shut up, for fear that even one breath of their own would anger this demon of unknown origin.
They saw that the man was a little "absent-minded" and "stunned", as if he was feeling something, and then a little disappointed. After coming back to his senses, he calmly said to the woman: "Maybe I didn't make it clear before. My time is longer than Mrs. Shentu's." Life is actually much more precious. In the blink of an eye, I will assume that my wife has promised to hand over the two maps. I will count to three. If I don¡¯t get the answer, my wife will be carried into the general¡¯s mansion today.¡±
The woman who was about to suffocate to death used her last energy to blink quickly.
¡°She didn¡¯t know until today that it was so difficult for a person to blink.
The truth that made her most desperate was another thing. Her real life-saving talisman was not the arrogant Eight Cavalry retinue on the surface, but the masterful old horseman who did not show his face, the real second-grade little grandmaster. , but the groom was not aware of this change in the carriage from beginning to end. During this period, she intentionally or unintentionally raised her voice to "flirt" with the man next to her. It stands to reason that the old man's second-level realm should have understood what happened so close behind him. It was a close thing, but the result was that the carriage was still moving steadily. Could it be that this man, who looked to be less than thirty years old, was a first-class expert? Is there such a number one person in Beimang Jianghu? The rivers and lakes in Beimang are no better than the rivers and lakes in Liyang, where dragons are dormant and far away from the imperial court. There is no secret at all.
The man sitting cross-legged did not make any movement, and the woman who was the legitimate daughter of the Shentu family was able to regain her breath. The man calmly said: "Mrs. Shentu, your groom was once a second-grade perfect martial artist. He used a left-handed sword. Unfortunately, in My internal organs were severely traumatized when I was about forty years old, and I have been able to maintain the second-level realm by supplementing myself with precious medicinals from the Taoism Sect over the years. Am I wrong?"
The woman¡¯s face was uncertain, and she regarded him as an enemy of the Shentu family who had been hiding for many years. She knew her family very well, otherwise what would happen if she didn¡¯tHow can one tell the story of the old horseman in one breath?
The man said with a slight sarcastic smile: "The reason why I am telling Mrs. Shentu is to tell Mrs. Shentu something. If extraneous matters arise and my time is wasted, it will not be difficult to destroy a small general's residence."
The woman gasped.
She sat upright, took off all disguises, turned around and asked in a deep voice: "Does this young master really only want two maps? He won't kill me, and he won't kill people randomly in the city?"
The man nodded, then closed his eyes to rest.
The carriage stopped outside the general's mansion. Mrs. Shentu originally planned to ask the old horseman to get the map and stay in the carriage as a hostage, but the weird man was so conceited that he asked her to get out of the car and even just asked the servant to bring the map. There was no need for her to show up again. The woman was inevitably speechless and told the two weak scholars who were supposed to be the new chiefs to get out. She walked into the mansion silently, took back the two-axis Beimang military map in less than a stick of incense, and handed it to the still-unprecedented man respectfully. The man sitting in the carriage opened the map and browsed it carefully.
Mrs. Shentu had the courage to look at this man secretly. His face had a softer outline than the man from Beimang and Beiting, but it was more angular than the man from Jiangnan in the Central Plains. Therefore, it could be called handsome but not The feeling of femininity in the person, especially his beautiful double red phoenix eyes, is particularly alluring when he narrows his eyes to look at the map. After reading the map, the man closed his eyes and went through it in his mind. After making sure that nothing was missing, he opened his eyes and handed it back to the woman. He smiled and said: "Mrs. Shentu is very trustworthy. The more than 40 private soldiers in the house did not make any hidden moves. I don¡¯t have anything to thank Madam for borrowing the picture now, but I believe there will be an opportunity to express my gratitude in the future.¡±
The woman was frightened for a while, but luckily when she left her husband's study, she decided that it would be better to do less than to do more. Otherwise, I am afraid today would be the death anniversary of many people in the house.
Just when she was filled with emotion, the man suddenly disappeared like a land god.
The woman suddenly smiled and said: "It is said that the King of Beiliang is not only one of the best in the world, but also very handsome. I think this young master is not too far behind the King of Beiliang, right?"
If she knew that this person was Xu Fengnian, the King of Northern Liang, she would be scared to death.
At first, Xu Fengnian was looking for a needle in a haystack in Beimang and Nanchao, but he soon realized that he and Hongshu's children might not have chosen to go south directly to avoid disaster, but did the opposite, going north to Beiting first, and then patiently Waiting and looking for an opportunity to go to Liang safely, he quickly headed north. But even if the child was really in Beiting, he didn't know whether the child was on the prairie or in a certain city. Xu Fengnian could only rely on his remaining intuition to search. It was very likely that everything would be in vain. In fact, if he searched the Hujia City Stone Tablet City and still couldn't find it, he would have to set off and return.
Maybe the child is no longer alive.
"But this kind of "maybe" is actually the most possible one. Xu Fengnian doesn't dare to think about it at all. He doesn't dare to think about it.
Xu Fengnian was walking around Hujia City. One moment, he might be under the eaves of a secluded restaurant, watching the flow of people on the street. The next moment, he might be in an alley where the laughter of children could be heard. , and then stood on the roof of an inconspicuous high-rise building.
From the scorching sun at noon, to the sun beginning to set in the west, and then to dusk, Xu Fengnian sat on the steps of a dilapidated ancient temple in a poor market place in the northwest corner of Hujia City.
Along the way, he had expectations thousands of times and was disappointed thousands of times. Even so, he never gave up.
Xu Fengnian told herself that her child must be waiting for her somewhere, waiting for her father, who has done so much to both of them.
The ancient temple behind it has been abandoned for many years. It does not show its Buddhist spirit and only has a gloomy light.
There is a large open space in front of the temple.
Xu Fengnian was about to stand up when he saw a group of children running not far away. Some were three or four years old, some were seven or eight years old. They were all dressed in the most common clothes in Beimang. They were carefree, and most of them were holding many things in their hands. It was a low-quality bamboo bone paper kite made by their parents. Seven or eight children played kite fighting. In the Jiangnan area of ????the Central Plains, children, rich and poor, also like to fly kites, but they are flying kites, unlike the current group of children who play kite fighting. This shows that Beimang has a deep love in his heart. That kind of bloodiness. The paper kites in the children's hands are all long and square thin boards, tied into tile-like shapes from the back. The paintings are crude and vulgar, and the tails are not tied but the strings are tied. They are put into the air by running and strong wind, buzzing, rushing left and right, and competing with each other. Other kites collide and fight. If they are entangled, they will cut each other's lines. The loser can only watch the kite fall far away, and then pick it up again. Xu Fengnian looked up at the scene of kite fighting in the sky, and was stunned. Several kites had broken their strings and fell. Some children cried out and ran to look for the paperUnfortunately, he was hanging high on a branch, so he cried heartbrokenly under the tree.
Half an hour later, when it was time to eat, the children dispersed one after another amid the shouts of their parents. The winner of the kite fight was like a victorious general on the battlefield, while the loser was discouraged and wanted to go back and steal more from their parents. Some threads.
In the dusk, Xu Fengnian stared at a large open space in a daze.
Then a burst of soft footsteps broke the silence.
In the distance, a short and thin figure jumped up, carrying a slightly damaged small paper kite in his hand.
Seven or eight feet away from the steps, the slovenly child stopped. It turned out to be a little black girl about four or five years old, with a dirty face. In addition to the paper kite, there were also some withered yellow vegetable leaves picked up from somewhere. , who was probably a beggar, stared at the stumbling block sitting on the steps, showing fleeting caution, but soon returned to her cheerful and jumping posture, and stepped up the steps from Xu Fengnian, about to enter the ancient temple. Xu Fengnian smiled. She might be sitting at someone's "doorstep", so it's no wonder she was a little unhappy.
At this moment, four or five children ran up from a distance. The first one was eight or nine years old, leading a child who had hung a kite on a branch after losing a kite fight in the open space. After seeing the little black charcoal behind Xu Fengnian, he immediately The noise started, and the children behind Xu Fengnian were alert enough. They threw the paper kite into the courtyard almost immediately. Unfortunately, it still caught the eyes of those children, and those children rushed up the steps. , the oldest one punched the little girl on the shoulder, snorted coldly, and threatened: "Thief, go pick up my brother's kite, then kneel down and beg for mercy! Otherwise I will tear your house apart!"
The girl who was punched hard staggered and almost fell. She puffed up her chest and sneered: "Who is the thief? Your whole family is the thief! The paper kite fell on the tree. I climbed up to get it back, but I didn't see it written on you. His name!"
The much older boy slapped him in the face. The little girl tilted her head to avoid it. She kicked the boy in the crotch and made him roll on the ground immediately. Is this okay? Without saying a word, the other kids who formed a clique began to beat this girl who had always been annoying. As soon as they got entangled, they all beat her badly, their noses and faces were all bruised, and one of her wrists was bitten by her teeth. There were blood stains, and of course the skinny little girl felt even more uncomfortable. She had been punched and kicked countless times all over her body, but in the end she still stood proudly at the door of the ruined temple, neither running away nor crying, and continued to fight with them as if it was a big deal. posture.
Those children were not as good as her who were barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. They cursed "bitch" and "beggar" and left in anger, not forgetting to say all kinds of cruel words.
Xu Fengnian turned his head and looked at the little girl. After everyone had gone away, she twitched painfully on her immature face with blood oozing from the corners of her mouth. Then she opened her mouth hard, stretched out two fingers, and pulled out a shaky one. Front teeth extracted
Come, hold it carefully in your hand.
She glanced at Xu Fengnian who looked surprised, rolled her eyes, patted her butt, turned around and jumped over the threshold with her feet together.
Xu Fengnian laughed dumbly.
Xu Fengnian stood up and continued to search in Hujia City, looking for any child who could vaguely see the face of the charming woman. It could be like her eyes, the bridge of her nose, her lips, no matter what, as long as there was a slight resemblance.
In the dead of night, Xu Fengnian found nothing. He stood at the head of Hujia City, sighed, and prepared to go to the last city, Stone Tablet City.
??????????????????????????????????? The expression of that little Heitan pulling out her front teeth appeared in her mind, Xu Fengnian couldn't help but smile knowingly, and asked herself, should I look at her again?
The gloomy temple, the house with dilapidated windows, the narrow wooden bed, the crooked wooden stool, and a small pot. If added to the small bag of grain hidden underground, it would be all her belongings.
But she was still very happy alone. Her dinner was a small pot of stewed vegetables picked from the market during the day, which she felt was very rich.
She sat cross-legged on the small wooden bed farthest from the window, looking up at the starry sky. There was a quilted and patched cotton doll beside her legs. This was her only friend in the world who could talk.
She suddenly sniffed, jumped out of bed, opened the door with a creak, stood there and squinted her eyes, and saw a strange scene in the yard. The guy who was sitting on the steps in the evening was now squatting in the yard. BBQ!
She didn¡¯t step forward, just stood at the door and looked at the guy.
Xu Fengnian set up a fire and roasted a chicken. Although there was no condiment, it was still golden and buttery, enough to make people's index fingers lick.
The little girl swallowed, but she gritted her teeth and refused to move. When the guy tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it into her mouth, she still endured it.
?Until the guy ate half of the roasted chicken, she was still fighting between heaven and man. When she saw that the guy was planning to attack the last fat chicken leg, she slowly walked to the fire and stretched out a hand. It's very clear, I want to eat chicken legs, you give it to me.
Xu Fengnian ignored her and took a bite of the chicken leg, her mouth full of oil.
Xiao Heitan took a heavy step forward and stretched out his hand again.
Xu Fengnian looked at her sideways and bit into the chicken legs.
The girl¡¯s eyes rolled, and she said with a sly aura, ¡°This is my home!¡±
Xu Fengnian said vaguely: "It's just a borrowed place. I'll leave after eating."
The girl said angrily: "Give me the chicken legs!"
The girl hurriedly added: "Only half of it is left!"
Xu Fengnian glanced at her, "Shouldn't we add the word "please" when asking for help?"
He originally wanted to add that your parents didn't teach you, but after thinking about it, he gave up. It would be too hurtful to say this to an orphan.
The dark and skinny little girl spat hard into the fire, then walked back to the steps and sat down.
Xu Fengnian threw away the chicken bones, wiped her greasy fingers casually, glared at her, and didn't forget to burp to add insult to injury.
The stubborn little girl was sulking, and the cool breeze was blowing. Although her hair was dirty and stiff, her sparse bangs were still blown by the breeze, revealing her high forehead, which looked particularly white and smooth compared to her muddy face.
In the end, it was the little girl who was defeated first and returned to the house to sleep.
Xu Fengnian was sitting in the courtyard, like an old monk in meditation, closing his eyes and meditating.
Several times during this period, she stepped on the small wooden stool and peeked quietly through the window without window paper. It was not until late at night that she crept back to the small bed.
At dawn, the little girl gently opened the door, only to see that annoying guy still lingering in her home. She didn't dare to chase him away, so she simply pretended that he didn't exist, and didn't look at him and didn't mind. The broken paper kite climbed up an old tree and then jumped to the roof. It raised the kite high above its head and ran around like a tireless little wild cat.
Xu Fengnian stood up, stretched, and looked up. The little black tan was looking down at her, with cold eyes, full of scrutiny that was extremely inconsistent with her young age.
Xu Fengnian asked kindly: "Your parents are gone?"
The child looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and said angrily: "Your parents are dead!"
Xu Fengnian was a little helpless, "Then why don't you go out to beg? The early bird catches the worm, otherwise you won't be afraid of starving to death?"
The little black girl sneered: "Do you want to take care of it?! Also, you are the beggar! Me! Not!"
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "If you are not a beggar, how can you still steal and rob?"
The little girl sneered: "You know nothing!"
Xu Fengnian didn't speak. The child on the roof who struggled to survive in the lower-level market was obviously very good at observing people's emotions. This was an almost instinctive and sharp intuition. She could fight with those children who were several years older than her, because once she showed her timidity, she would It means that she will always be bullied by them. Last year, they stole her cotton doll while she was not at home. They also hid her small pot. They also often threw stones into the window, but she obviously did not dare to do it. To anger the adult man in the yard, her habit of knowing how to advance and retreat may be an innate talent, but it was forced out bit by bit by her helpless situation. She was willing to steal things and pick up vegetable leaves, but she just didn't want to be a beggar setting out bowls on the street. She didn't know why. This year she has been able to go to the creeks outside the city that are no higher than her knees and try to use sharp wood to stab fish, or use a broken dustpan to catch birds in the wild, and dig wild vegetables. She feels that when she is older, she will definitely be able to do more. matter.
Anyway, she can live a good life alone, and she can slowly wait for her height to grow before doing that big thing.
Xu Fengnian saw the naughty little girl suddenly sitting on the edge of the roof, putting down the kite, swaying her calves, holding her chin and looking towards the south.
Xu Fengnian rushed to the roof and sat down. Half an hour later, she suddenly woke up, turned around and asked with a confused look: "Hey, why did you climb the tree too?"
Xu Fengnian remained silent.
She moved her butt, as if to be further away from him, but in fact, she gently lifted up two pieces of broken tiles with her right hand and held a small wooden knife tightly, but she never let Xu Fengnian see it.
Xu Fengnian still looked into the distance and asked with a smile: "What are you doing hiding a small wooden knife on the roof? Do you still want to kill me?"
Her expression suddenly changed, and she stood up suddenly, facing Xu Fengnian, holding the knife in both hands.
Xu Fengnian couldn't laugh or cry, and laughed at himself: "Whether you believe it or not, I am not a bad person. Well, to be precise, maybe I am a bad person, but I definitely don't have any bad intentions towards you. You can do the math for yourself and see what I should be concerned about." Is it a valuable item? Is it a wooden knife? Is it a small broken pot, or is it this broken house? "
She seemed to smile innocently, saying yes, yes, yes, and waved the wooden knife a few times. But Xu Fengnian could clearly feel that her whole body was still tense without looking.
Xu Fengnian is a little confused, has this child been bullied miserably by being homeless all these years? Otherwise, how could he be so "sophisticated"?
She sat down again with a smile, then took out a dull blade from under the tile, and waved it towards Xu Fengnian, as if to show off her power and say, "I have a knife."
Seeing that Xu Fengnian had not turned around, she relaxed a little and began to sharpen the knife. The small wooden knife was still a semi-finished product, so she had to continue "refining the knife".
Xu Fengnian discovered that this little girl would look very meticulous when she was concentrating on one thing.
Xu Fengnian couldn't help but smile, remembering her childhood, maybe she was like this at some point?
He and she chatted every word, asking and answering questions, but she didn't say anything for the most part.
"what's your name?"
no response.
"Do you have any friends?"
"certainly!"
It¡¯s the cotton doll that depends on each other for life.
"how old are you?"
"Why are you asking this?"
"Did you make this small wooden knife yourself?"
She rolled her eyes, very dissatisfied with his knowingly asking.
"This wooden sword of yours is too different. It is straighter than the Mang Dao, narrower than the Liang Dao, and thinner than the famous bold and powerful sword of the Southern Tang Dynasty"
"Hey, hey, why are you nagging like a girl?"
Xu Fengnian was silent.
But for the first time, she took the initiative to ask, "What kind of sword is the Southern Tang Dynasty Hao Zhengping?"
Xu Fengnian smiled and explained patiently: "It is a saber that looks like a large-scale battle formation sword. It was once very popular in the royal family of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and several famous swords in the world have used it as a reference."
The little black girl glanced at her mouth with disdain on her face.
Xu Fengnian asked curiously: "With your skills, it was enough to deal with those children yesterday. Do you still need a wooden sword to defend yourself?"
The little girl hid the blade and put the wooden knife on her knees. The more she looked at it, the happier she became. She couldn't put it down and hummed: "It's my birthday. This is a gift for myself."
Xu Fengnian joked: "Little girl, you are not treating yourself badly."
The little girl was furious. She turned around and glared at Xu Fengnian. She grinned and said, "What kind of little girl movie! I always pee standing up!"
Xu Fengnian stroked his forehead and was speechless.
The little girl suddenly said: "By the way, don't blame me for not reminding you. My father is the most powerful master and hero in the world. He kills without blinking an eye. If you dare to mess with me, I will ask him to beat you to death when you turn around! I don't think you can I'm telling you this because I look like a bad person
This is a secret! "
Xu Fengnian asked with a smile: "Is your father really that powerful? A master? How tall is he?"
The little black girl¡¯s face was full of pride, and she said: ¡°It¡¯s as high as ten floors! No, it¡¯s a hundred floors! Are you afraid?¡±
Xu Fengnian was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I don't believe it. If your father was such a high-level expert, would you still be here and not even be able to eat a chicken leg?"
She was silent for a moment, and then word after word burst out from between her teeth, "No, Xu, you, say, me, dad!"
Xu Fengnian turned his head and looked at the extremely serious young face. He was in a trance for a moment.
She competed with him.
Xu Fengnian smiled and admitted defeat, stood up, walked to her, and wanted to reach out and touch her little head, but she avoided it.
Xu Fengnian said softly: "Little girl, I'm leaving. I'm going to Stone Tablet City to find a child about your age. She must be as good-looking as her mother."
She waved her hands in an old-fashioned way, and said with a smile: "Go, go, let's meet again if we are destined. Remember, don't be so stingy next time we meet, otherwise the little family will be angry and be careful not to find a wife."
Xu Fengnian was afraid of scaring the little girl, so she did not go straight to the Stone Tablet City in a flash. Instead, she lightly jumped into the courtyard, pushed open the courtyard door, and then disappeared suddenly when she reached the dark corner of the alley.
The little Heitan girl whose name is unknown did not feel sad about spring and autumn. When Xu Fengnian left, she breathed a sigh of relief.Slowly, he squatted down, raised his butt, and hid the short wooden knife. He muttered: "Pull the knife to cut off the water, and the water will be replaced."
It bleeds, and the blood bleeds even more when you draw a knife and behead your head"
Leaving the kite on the roof, she slipped back to the yard along the big tree and started a new day.
It is not an easy task for a helpless orphan to survive. She first went to a courtyard two streets away to help an elderly couple tidy up the house and clean the courtyard, which was a bit difficult. The couple's son and daughter-in-law were peddlers with carts who often traveled long distances. When they returned home every ten days, they would pay her a dozen copper coins, and sometimes they would even pay her on credit. After finishing her work, she would go shopping in the streets. Whenever she heard about a house having a wedding or wedding, she would remember it in her heart. She could have a meal secretly. The two fairs in the first and middle of the month would often have a good harvest. The best time she had was when she picked up a bulging cotton money bag at the Lantern Festival Market in early spring. That was the first time she saw silver. Broken silver, a very small grain, was not as good as silver. Her fingernails were so big, but it still made her happy to this day. If there is no harvest in the city, you have to try your luck outside the city, go fishing in the river, climb the trees and dig out bird's nests. I remember at the end of last year, the river froze, and I saw someone digging through the ice to catch many fat fish. It looked relaxed and comfortable. Another huge profit, all she had to do was squat on the ice, so she tried it once and almost froze to death, but was saved by a kind-hearted vendor passing by. That unforgettable lesson taught the child that her luck was not good. , then don¡¯t expect God to be so generous to her.
A skinny little black girl just ran around happily in Hujia City.
Returning to the abandoned ancient temple at dusk, she had some extra vegetable leaves and a bag of cicadas caught from the tree. God opened her eyes today and sneaked into a wedding banquet for her in the east of the city at noon. She felt like her mouth was full of that now. The small pieces of pork left a smell of oil and water. Unfortunately, she was already cooking the rice very quickly, but she still didn't finish the whole bowl before it was carried and thrown out the door.
In the night, Xu Fengnian stood at the window and saw the little girl facing a pot of fried cicadas, humming a little song with her back to him, "Cut off the head to serve wine, dig out the heart and liver and braise it, peel the skin from cramps" Come steam it, it tastes delicious, but it¡¯s not as crispy as fried cicadas Days pass by, and I grow up day by day"
Xu Fengnian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but when he watched the little girl carefully pick up a fried cicada and put it into her mouth, looking at her thin back, he imagined that she was probably very satisfied at this time, not caring about others or herself. He was so soft-hearted and began to feel sad.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? No matter she suffers or is blessed after she reaches adulthood, she can¡¯t blame her parents?
But she is only this age.
Xu Fengnian sighed, still finding nothing in Shibei City. Logically speaking, he should return to the Beiliang Army immediately, but on the way back, he accidentally remembered this small piece of black coal, and inexplicably returned to the ancient temple in Hujia City.
The little girl suddenly turned her head and saw Xu Fengnian outside the window. She was stunned for a moment, then continued to move her cheeks while eating delicious fried cicadas.
The Qing Qingzhuan pays attention to a non -time order, but the poor people have to eat from time to time. If you consider it among the rich and powerful, fried cicadas can be regarded as an off-the-beaten-path dish that is quite elegant but not popular on the table.
The little girl asked curiously: "You didn't go to Stone Tablet City?"
Xu Fengnian nodded.
She hesitated for a moment, obviously feeling distressed but pretending to be generous and said: "Are you hungry? Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, can I treat you to a meal?"
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Okay."
The little girl obviously hoped that the guy would reply that he had eaten, but she couldn't change her mind, so she had to wave to Xu Fengnian bitterly. There were still seven fried cicadas in the pot, and she moved four of them towards her. I glanced at the guy out of the corner of my eye and gave him one back.
Xu Fengnian squatted face to face with her, picked up a fried cicada and put it into his mouth. Not to mention it was bland and tasteless, and there was an earthy smell without seasoning and killing smell. However, Xu Fengnian couldn't help but think of the shabby life when he and Lao Huang were wandering the world. Scenery, unconsciously a smile appeared on his face.
She asked proudly: "Is it delicious?"
Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "It's delicious."
She had a battle between heaven and man, patted her belly, and pretended to be heroic: "I'm full, and I'll give you the rest."
After Xu Fengnian ate four fried cicadas, he shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I can starve better than you."
She tilted her head and asked, "You really don't want to eat?"
Xu Fengnian hummed, and while she was eating fried cicadas, she looked around, while the little girl took the opportunity to look at him.
She clapped her hands and asked, "Want to enjoy the cool air?"
Seeing that Xu Fengnian had no objection, she took this guy, who was neither disgusted nor afraid, with one big and one small to climb the tree and onto the roof, and lay down together looking at the stars.
She asked in a low voice: "Don't you have a home?"
Xu Fengnian rested her arm on the back of her head and said with a smile, "Yes, and it's bigger than your home."
She curled her lips and said, "Hey, hey, hey, please don't brag, okay? My family is still small, and this big land belongs to me."
A shooting star streaked across the sky.
The little girl quickly closed her eyes and made a wish.
Xu Fengnian said softly: "Did you make a wish? What wish?"
The little girl rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't your parents tell you that your wish won't work if you say it!"
Xu Fengnian looked at the extremely gorgeous summer starry sky and said softly: "Let me tell you, in fact, making a wish will not work no matter whether you say it or not, and whether you tell others."
The little girl hurriedly made a few noises, turning her head and staring angrily at the guy with the crow's mouth.
Xu Fengnian smiled apologetically, "That's my own experience. Maybe it's different for you."
The two were silent for a long time.
She suddenly asked: "Have you ever ridden a horse?"
Xu Fengnian said: "Of course, I have ridden a horse since I was very young. What, you want to ride a horse?"
She lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Let me tell you a secret. My dad has many, many horses. My dad has ten thousand horses, no, one hundred thousand horses!"
Xu Fengnian laughed and joked: "Little girl, do you know how many horses there are in 100,000? If you let the horses run next to each other, if you look at them from a high place, the horse's back will look like the earth."
She murmured: "That's it."
Xu Fengnian lay on her side, looked at her and said: "If you treat me to four fried cicadas, I can grant you four wishes. For example, you can say that you want me to treat you to a chicken drumstick, and that I will give you a chicken leg. I'll try my best to satisfy you for two pieces of silver or something. How about it, am I a pretty good guest?"
The little girl shook her head and said seriously: "My mother said that you should treat people with sincerity. I gave you the fried cicadas to eat, not sold them to you. Besides, if you really sell them, you won't be able to sell them for a single copper plate." "
Xu Fengnian reached out and pinched her cheek.
The little girl didn't refuse, but she didn't look good on Xu Fengnian either. She suddenly sighed, "When I was a child"
Xu Fengnian couldn't help but laugh and interrupted her words, "You are very young now."
She glared and continued: "When I was a child, my mother said that in the far south, every summer, there would be something called fireflies, flying around, so beautiful!"
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "Yes, the poets over there like to call them night candles, night lights or sedums."
She blinked her eyes, which were shining brightly, and asked curiously: "Do they really glow? Why? I asked my mother, but she didn't tell me and told me to ask my dad, but my dad Don¡¯t tell me.¡±
Xu Fengnian replied seriously: "That's because the fireflies have light sacs in their tails that emit yellow-green fluorescence."
Xu Fengnian smiled and added: "Your father is really stingy, and I won't tell you this."
She raised her fists, as if if you say bad things about my father again, I will hit you.
The little girl sighed.
Xu Fengnian also sighed for no reason.
The two continued not to speak.
Xu Fengnian crossed her legs and enjoyed this rare peace.
Since the beginning of the war in Liangmang, in the past four years, there have been endless flames of war, endless drums and hooves of war, endless battles fought, and countless people killed.
Maybe history books will describe this war as spectacular in the future, but as the authorities involved, no one can really take a breath.
Xu Fengnian always felt that he was far inferior to Xu Xiao.
This is how you lead troops in battle.
Being a father is even more like this.
Xu Xiao's father left him a hereditary and irreplaceable king of Northern Liang, 300,000 cavalry, and gave him Xu Fengnian twenty years of youth and frivolity. In Northern Liang, his highness, the heir apparent, was more carefree than the prince. .
This is the so-called house that accumulates good deeds and will always be happy.
And when it¡¯s his turn to be a father, where is his child?
?????????? Is this the case that a house that accumulates evil will inevitably suffer consequences?
A soft voice came from my ears, "Are you homesick?"
Xu Fengnian sighed: "Yes."
The little girl imitated Xu Fengnian, crossing her legs, swaying, and humming a improvised song intermittently.The song, "Firefly, firefly, follow me home obediently"
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Back and forth, just one lyric.
I don¡¯t know how long it took, but Xu Fengnian, who couldn¡¯t hear the singing, found that the little girl had fallen into a deep sleep.
Afraid that she would catch a cold, Xu Fengnian took off her robe and covered her with gentle movements.
Xu Fengnian looked at the sky all night until dawn.
The little girl who had been huddled in a warm robe all night woke up with a yawn. When she saw the man sitting cross-legged, she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xu Fengnian turned around and asked with a smile: "Little girl Pianzi, do you want to go to my house to play, and take care of food, clothing and sleep?"
She said with disdain, "I won't go."
Perhaps because she was afraid that rejecting others' kindness so simply would hurt someone, she grinned and said, "I'm sorry, I can't just wander around."
Xu Fengnian reached out and rubbed her messy hair like a chicken nest, "It's okay, I'll come and play with you again in the future."
¡°Next time you come, can you bring chicken legs?¡±
"able."
"Hook?"
"Okay."
Adults and children pull the hook very seriously.
Xu Fengnian¡¯s smile remained unchanged, but she quickly stood up and looked towards the city gate.
The little black girl first looked along her line of sight, then looked around, her face suddenly turned pale.
Hundreds of black spots flew directly on the roof and jumped forward, heading straight for her little home.
Xu Fengnian explained in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, those people are here to find me. I will definitely help you find a safe place afterwards, and keep it there for you to eat chicken legs every now and then."
Earlier, he swims quickly in several states in the Southern Dynasties, and he is a ghost. Even if Bei Mang has a stare at the practitioner, he will not be able to seize the opportunity to mobilize the soldiers to block, but the treasure bottle state in Beiding's hinterland is different.
Looking at the situation, not only are the spider webs out in full force, but several elite cavalry are also galloping towards them.
But the little girl¡¯s lips trembled and she said in a trembling voice: ¡°No, they are all looking for me.¡±
She pushed Xu Fengnian suddenly and screamed: "Run away, run away! Leave me alone!"
Xu Fengnian looked stunned, looking down at the child who was in a panic for some reason. She grabbed his sleeves, raised her head and choked with red eyes: "Mother is gone, Uncle Xu is gone, and brother Tong Guan also broke an arm for me. , it¡¯s all my faultYou go away, go away quickly"
Xu Fengnian felt like he was struck by lightning.
The little girl let go of her hand and hurriedly pulled out a long and narrow wooden knife from under another tile on the roof. She quickly gave it to Xu Fengnian. She raised her arm and wiped her tears carelessly. She smiled and said, "You can run as far as you can." ,if,
I mean, if you can find my dad one day, tell him that this is my gift to him. Also, my name is Xu Nianliang, and my nickname is Little Sweet Potato. "
She grinned brightly, "My father's name is Xu Fengnian, he is the King of Northern Liang. He is very powerful, right? I didn't lie to you, right?"
Seeing those black spots getting bigger and bigger, she pushed the fool who was holding the wooden knife motionless and said angrily: "Still not leaving?! You are really going to die!"
Xu Fengnian slowly squatted down and pressed his forehead tightly against hers.
At that moment, when he held her, he not only burst into tears, but also sobbed.
Those cobweb spies who entered Hujia City with a certain death mentality settled on nearby rooftops. Seeing this scene, this large group of cold-blooded dead soldiers were also a little stunned.
??The King of Beiliang who made the entire Beimang Dynasty tremble, the invincible man who seriously injured the Martial God Tuoba Bodhisattva and has yet to recover, is he crying?
The layers of encirclement are accumulating, becoming thicker and thicker, but each of the spider web warriors who are outnumbered know very well that in front of this man, they are just pawns who use hundreds of lives to slightly delay time.
The little girl named Xu Nianliang had firm eyes and clenched the short wooden knife in her hand.
Xu Fengnian let go of her, and instead of wiping the tears on her face, she reached out to wipe her dirty cheeks.
"sorry."
The two said in unison.
What Little Sweet Potato means is that she has caused trouble for him, a stranger who is not a bad person.
She just didn¡¯t understand why he wanted to say sorry.
But if you can¡¯t figure it out, you can¡¯t figure it out. Anyway, it looks like the two unlucky guys, big and small, are going to die here.
She didn¡¯t want to cry in front of those northern barbarians. She stared at his face and said with a smile: ¡°It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t laugh at you. Everyone is afraid of death. Look, I cried just now.¡±Xu Fengnian stood up, lowered his head, carefully put on the long and narrow wooden knife that was carved by a child according to the shape of a cool knife, and hung it on his waist.
He said softly: "I found you, little sweet potato."
The city is filled with spider webs and dead warriors.
There is a cavalry army of about 10,000 people on each side outside the city.
The rising sun rises in the east, and the rays of light in the east advance slowly like a tidal wave.
Xu Fengnian put a hand on Little Sweet Potato's head, looked into the distance, and said softly: "Little Sweet Potato, daddy couldn't protect your mother, but he will definitely protect you. Today, let's go home together."
The child stood beside Xu Fengnian blankly, and then burst into tears.
Since she was sensible, this was the first time she cried so heart-breakingly.
Even when she and her mother left Dunhuang City separately, she wisely did not cry. Even when she watched brother Tong Guan's arm being chopped off, she just covered her mouth and did not dare to cry.
She cried loudly: "You didn't protect your mother, so I don't want to call you daddy!"
"I miss grandpa. If grandpa were here, I would definitely let him hit you."
"You are the biggest villain in the world. Give me back the wooden knife, I won't give it to you!"
¡°I don¡¯t want to make a wish to grow up and find you soon!¡±
Xu Fengnian looked at the cobweb dead soldiers with cold eyes, and listened to the angry words of the sad children. The lips of the world-famous King of Northern Liang trembled slightly, and he hesitated to speak, but in the end he did not say a word.
He made a fist with one hand, and the palm of the other hand rested on the rough handle of the long and narrow wooden knife.
At this moment, even if ten Tuoba Bodhisattvas in their peak period block the way, even if all the first-level masters in the world appear here to oppose him, even if there are still millions of cavalry in Beimang blocking the way.
Xu Fengnian is not afraid!
Xu Fengnian was still crying, but her smiles were growing.
¡°Little sweet potato, I found you.
Xu Fengnian exhaled and was about to let go for a fight when she suddenly pulled his sleeves. He knelt down with doubts in his eyes.
She sniffed, raised her little hand, and wiped away his tears.
Xu Fengnian stared at his daughter, the little sweet potato who was dark and dark but more beautiful than all the children in the world in his eyes, smiled and said: "You are not bragging, your father Xu Fengnian is really a master as tall as a hundred floors. "
After saying these words, visions suddenly appeared in the heaven and earth.
Hujia City.
Except this temple.
It is a whole Hujia City.
High-rise buildings were torn apart and lifted upwards, stone walls were torn upwards, and trees were uprooted and floated to the ground.
Mixed with all the weapons in the city.
Nearly all dead things rise into the sky.
Then on this small roof, he was wearing a long and narrow wooden knife on his waist, and Little Sweet Potato was carrying a short wooden knife.
This is a father and daughter.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Merchants are no longer allowed to pass through the Daima Pass on the border of Youzhou.
There was a child named Zhao Yousong, who trotted all the way to the market with a festive face. In the past year, he had liked to squat on that small wall with his friends, watching them one after another Beiliang cavalry army coming from here. In and out, the foreign teacher in their private school was originally the most stern. Although he was not old, he was more knowledgeable than the old Mr. Hong. According to Mr. Xin, he was from Jiangnan Road in the Central Plains. He likes to talk about the customs and customs there, and hopes that students like them can go to their hometowns for study tours. No matter where they are from, they should read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles to live up to their lives. The serious village school teacher actually drank alcohol today! Full of alcohol and drunkenness, the whole school could smell it. Today's gentlemen were shaking their heads. It was so interesting that they almost fell down several times. But in the end, they said to them, "We Beiliang won, we finally won, not only north
The Southern Dynasty of Mangmanzi is completely under the iron hoof of Beiliang. The two great Xiti surrendered one after another. Haha, even the Beiting grassland cannot be saved!
Zhao Yousong ran so fast today that he left his peers far behind.
He quickly ran to the low loess wall, squatted next to a little girl who had been waiting there for a long time, and whispered to her about the interesting things in the private school today.
The situation in that little girl's family was similar to his. Although they were not in the same village, the two mothers had a very good relationship and often visited each other. Many people in the private school joked that they had engaged in child marriage. Zhao Yousong would do it every time. His face was red, but he didn't want to deny it.
He is not stupid, he is very fond of itHe likes her, she is fair and chubby, and her eyes are so beautiful and watery. It would be strange if he doesn't like her. He is the most cruel and enthusiastic about those jokes. In fact, he secretly likes her, but it's a pity that she only likes herself. !
After listening to Zhao Yousong quietly, the little girl lowered her head and said timidly: "My mother is getting married, and that man just came to propose marriage."
Zhao Yousong looked surprised, and then asked in a low voice: "Is it that Mr. Liu Biao from your village?"
The little girl nodded vigorously.
Zhao Yousong sighed heavily, and then comforted her in an old-fashioned way, "It's okay. Although Liu Biaochang is five or six years younger than your mother, he is indeed a hero. Otherwise, how could he be the chief of our Beiliang Crossbowmen?" ! I believe he will definitely treat your mother well!"
The little girl tugged on his sleeve and whispered in his ear: "I heard that your gentleman likes your mother."
Zhao Youling, who was under the dark lamp, was really shocked this time and sat down on the ground, "No way?"
The little girl said a little aggrievedly: "But my mother said so too."
Zhao Yousong said with a sad face, "Our husband is very nice, but I don't want him to be my stepfather at all!"
She asked doubtfully: "Why, my mother thinks that Mr. Zhang is very good, good-looking, good-tempered, and knowledgeable. Last time your mother came to my house, my mother even persuaded your mother to agree. "
Zhao Yousong shook his head vigorously, "No, no! My mother can't marry him!"
She frowned, then pouted, and said angrily: "Do you think your mother has remarried, and a scholar like you will be embarrassed?!"
¡°Actually, she was afraid that he would look down on her. After all, her mother had remarried.
Her mother always told herself that Zhao Yousong is the most valuable scholar in the world. He will definitely have great potential in the future, so he can¡¯t miss it.
Zhao Yousong quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, if my mother really likes someone, I hope my mother will be happy, but I know my mother doesn't like Mr. Zhang!"
In fact, Zhao Yousong lied.
He actually didn¡¯t know whether his mother liked Mr. Private School, but in the child¡¯s mind, he hoped that if his mother really wanted to marry, she would marry that person.
But if his mother really likes Mr. Zhang, he will have no choice but to accept his fate.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Sad.
The two children, who had their own concerns, sat side by side on the wall, looking at the gate of Daimaguan City in a daze.
Suddenly, Zhao Yousong's eyes lit up and he jumped off the wall. He didn't care about the fall and was eating shit. He ran away all the way. The little girl was dumbfounded. After she came to her senses, she helped him take his book bag and carefully ran down the city. head.
Zhao Yousong ran towards the man walking slowly from north to south and shouted: "Uncle Xu!"
The man waited until Zhao Yousong ran up to him, then smiled and asked: "Yousong, why didn't you call me Brother Xu or Mr. Xu this time?"
Zhao Yousong grinned, blinked and said, "My mother taught me this, why don't you ask her yourself?"
The man was stunned for a moment, laughed it off, and said, "I'll go buy meat buns and you'll wait a moment."
When he went to the shop to buy meat buns, Zhao Yousong suddenly noticed that there was a little Heitan following Uncle Xu not far or near. After seeing him, the Little Heitan glared at him fiercely and raised his head. Fists scare people.
The little girl who was Zhao Yousong's childhood sweetheart came to him, panting. Zhao Yousong quickly took the book bag and apologized to her with a smile.
Zhao Yousong suddenly turned his head and whispered in the little girl's ear. She was a little confused, but in the end she ran away.
Xiao Heitan is Xu Nianliang, and the Uncle Xu mentioned by Zhao Yousong is Xu Fengnian who has just returned to Youzhou from Beimang.
Unless her father, Xu Fengnian, was carrying a sweet potato all the way in order to hurry, otherwise as long as she was walking by herself, she would deliberately keep a dozen steps away from him, saying "I promise not to lose him, but I won't follow you either." "get close" attitude.
So after entering this inverted horse pass, the situation was like this again. Xu Fengnian was helpless, and there was no way at all.
Xu Fengnian bought four big hot meat buns, handed them to Zhao Yousong beside him and asked with a smile: "Where is the little girl next to you?"
Zhao Yousong chuckled and said, "Maybe there's something going on at home."
Xu Fengnian shook her head with a smile and turned towards the extremely stubborn girl. The latter did not run away. After taking the meat bun, she quickly took a bite before Xu Fengnian could finish saying "eat slowly and burn it carefully". Immediately, Xu Fengnian took a breath of air and was shocked all over.
?There was no nonsense at all, but I just held back my heartache and quickly turned away.
As expected, only when he turned around did the little girl hold most of the meat bun, stuck out her tongue, and fanned it vigorously with her little hands.
Zhao Yousong¡¯s mouth twitched as he looked at it, wondering whether this little Heitan was hungry, or was he a little careless?
Xu Nianliang, who had long been accustomed to seeing and hearing in all directions, soon widened his eyes, glared angrily at Zhao Yousong, and raised his small fist at him again.
Xu Fengnian reached out and touched her little head, "Don't be so rude."
The little girl turned her head fiercely, tilted her head and blew in the heat and aroma escaping from the meat bun. After waiting for a moment, she held the bun with both hands and took two or three bites, finishing it in an instant.
real man!
Zhao Yousong rolled his eyes, I can¡¯t afford to offend him.
Xu Fengnian handed over another meat bun, then squatted down and helped her wipe away the oil splashed on her clothes.
When Zhao Yousong saw this scene, he felt a little envious and suddenly felt sad. He turned his head and wiped his face quietly.
Xu Nianliang rolled his eyes even more after seeing the inexplicable behavior of the stupid goose.
Although Xu Fengnian did not turn around, she understood the general reason and said softly to her daughter: "Little sweet potato, don't do this."
Xiao Heitan, who had a long and narrow wooden knife hanging on his waist, turned his head sharply again.
Xu Fengnian sighed and stood up.
When he turned around, he saw that kind and gentle woman, Xu Qing.
She was a little breathless, a little shy, but also a little expectant and happy.
She didn¡¯t speak, but those clean and clear eyes seemed to be speaking.
Zhao Yousong first winked at the little girl who was the great hero, and then broke the silence and said: "Uncle Xu, my mother just opened a small cloth shop in the market, why don't you go and have a look?"
Xu Fengnian hesitated, turned to look at the little sweet potato, and was about to decline.
Xu Qing, the young lady who once embroidered a python robe at the Golden Thread Weaving Bureau, came directly to the little sweet potato for some reason, knelt down and picked up the little girl. She stood up, and then looked at Xu Fengnian quietly.
Xu Fengnian felt a little funny when he saw the little sweet potato who was in a hurry but not struggling too much, and nodded.
Zhao Yousong and his childhood sweetheart led the way.
Xu Qing asked softly: "Little girl, what is your name?"
The little black child suddenly started crying, "My name is Xu Nianliang!"
Xu Qing said softly: "Well, he looks like your father."
Little Sweet Potato wiped away her tears and shook her head: "I'm not like him! I'm just like my mother!"
Xu Fengnian was a little surprised as to why Little Sweet Potato was so affectionate to Xu Qing.
Probably it was Xu Qing¡¯s unique tenderness from the bottom of his heart that made this lonely and helpless child feel nostalgic. And this extremely sensitive child has an indescribable talent for distinguishing the good intentions and bad intentions of outsiders.
At that moment, Xu Fengnian's eyes turned red, she turned her head and let out a breath.
On the way south, Xu Fengnian suffered a lot.
If she is even remotely interested in chatting.
"Xu! How many women do you have in Beiliang?"
"I¡¡"
"Oh, so hesitant, that's a lot?! Tsk, tsk, awesome, worthy of being the King of Northern Liang!"
""
If she is in a particularly bad mood.
"The surname is Xu!"
"Um?"
"Believe it or not, I can beat you into a big pig head with a wooden knife?!"
"Dad believes it."
¡°You don¡¯t believe it at all!¡±
"Crackling, there are dozens of wooden knives."
He doesn¡¯t hide.
??If her mood improves slightly.
"Hey, is the Qingliang Mountain you mentioned as big as the two of my family?"
"Yes, it needs to be bigger."
"you're lying!"
Another meal of wooden sword service.
But it¡¯s less than when she¡¯s angry.
If it¡¯s a rare time when she¡¯s in a good mood.
"Hey, Xu Fengnian. Is Jiangnan a place further south than Beiliang?"
"Um."
"Have you ever seen the sea? It's a very big water."
¡°I¡¯ve seen it before, but I¡¯ve only seen the East China Sea and never the South China Sea. Can we go together in the future?¡±
"I?Go alone! "
"Then we have to wait until you are older, otherwise dad will be worried."
Then Xu Fengnian was beaten again.
Only when she is in the best and best mood, Little Sweet Potato will ride on her father's neck, rest her chin on her father's head, and say nothing, just sniffling slightly, but not crying. Make a sound.
Occasionally, when the two of them take a break, Little Sweet Potato will look north alone, lost in thought.
At that time, the man either stood beside her or sat behind her, silent and afraid to speak.
The corners of Little Sweet Potato¡¯s mouth turned up for the only time.
It was on their way back at the border of Longyao Prefecture that they encountered a Beiliang frontier army heading north. They wanted to drive straight into the Beiting grassland with 6,000 Xu family cavalry!
Carrying her on his back, he stopped.
She took the initiative to ride on his neck, opened her eyes wide and looked at the strange cavalry with curiosity on her face.
Six thousand frontier army cavalry dismounted at the same time. After seeing the little girl riding on the neck of the young vassal king, everyone looked excited. The first cavalry commander was none other than the accomplished right cavalry army coach Li Yanchao. He said: "We, Beiliang Right Cavalry Army! We sincerely welcome Her Royal Highness the Princess home!"
Six thousand people all clasped their fists and shouted loudly: "Beiliang Right Cavalry Army! Welcome Your Highness the Princess home!"
?According to Liyang regulations, all daughters of vassal kings are just princesses.
But the Northern Liang cavalry has dominated the world and has been invincible for twenty years! Have you ever cared about the opinions of the Central Plains court? !
After that, Little Sweet Potato rarely spoke.
Until entering the Youzhou border and entering Daomaguan.
When we arrived at the small cloth shop at the corner of the market, Xu Qing might have left in a hurry, and he didn't even close the shop door. There were already many customers waiting for him. The business was obviously good. The Liangmang War had come to an end, and many soldiers from the border were arriving one after another. Returning to the pass, there are more people and more military pay, so business will naturally improve. small shop
There were seven or eight men and women inside, which was a bit crowded, but I believe that for those men, buying cloth was probably a secondary priority.
Xu Fengnian said to Xu Qing considerately: "You go ahead and stay out of the way."
After Xu Qing put the little sweet potato down, he bent down and rubbed her little head. Xu Qing's eyebrows arched and she said softly: "Xiao Liang, can you pick a piece of cloth yourself? I'll help you make a nice dress later. You¡¯re so tanned, so you can¡¯t choose a color that¡¯s too colorful.¡±
The little girl made a face and jumped to pick out fabrics. She was not polite at all. Suddenly she remembered and said to the woman who was walking towards the counter: "I will let the person named Xu pay!"
Xu Fengnian smiled and nodded.
But Xu Qing smiled and shook his head and said: "This time I will give it to you first, but next time I will give it to you, but you will have to pay for it."
The little sweet potato thought carefully and glanced at Xu Fengnian who was sitting on the threshold. The child did not refuse.
¡°Probably because of the sudden appearance of Xu Fengnian, the male customers quickly left, but the women were increasingly reluctant to leave. During this period, the mistress Xu Qing and the little sweet potato looked at each other knowingly.
At that time, before Little Sweet Potato touched the fabrics, he did not forget to wipe his sleeves vigorously with his two little hands.
Xu Fengnian sat alone on the threshold, holding her chin with one hand, always looking at the child, with a peaceful expression and warm eyes.
After finally waiting for all the guests to leave, Little Sweet Potato sighed, spread his hands, and said helplessly to Xu Qing: "I don't like it."
Xu Qing said oh, then walked out of the counter, went to the cloth rack to pick and choose, and finally picked up a piece of floral fabric with elegant colors, turned around and smiled at the little girl: "Then I will give it to you casually. Is this piece of cloth already?"
The little sweet potato blushed a little.
Xu Fengnian stood up and said softly: "The money is enough."
Little Sweet Potato waved his hand, "Okay!"
Xu Qing glanced at the sky outside the door. At dusk, he looked at Xu Fengnian, who seemed to be leaving before paying, and said softly: "Shall we leave after eating?"
Xu Fengnian shook his head, "Forget it."
Little Sweet Potato suddenly asked: "Do you have any fried cicadas there? The crunchy ones!"
Xu Qing shook his head.
The young scholar Zhao Yousong patted his forehead, it turned out that he was a heroine!
Little Sweet Potato asked again, "Is there any rice? Big bowls of rice!"
Xu Qing nodded lightly.
Little Sweet Potato then patted his belly and said, "Eat and drink enough before we go on the road!"
After closing the store door, Zhao Yousong wanted to send the little girl home first, so Xu Qing took the little sweet potato home, and Xu Fengnian could only stand on the other side of Xu Qing.
Xu Qing asked: "Did your father give you the wooden sword?"
? ???Diya patted the long and narrow wooden knife and snorted: "No, I made it myself!"
The child quickly added, "I made it for myself! It's not given as a gift!"
When they arrived at the small courtyard, Xu Qing took the little girl to have dinner together, probably because the latter was happy to stay with her father.
Xu Fengnian was sitting on a small stool in the yard, looking up at the sunset on the horizon without taking his eyes off it.
Zhao Yousong quickly ran home and was in a daze with Xu Fengnian.
When calling them to eat together, Zhao Yousong found that little Heitan seemed to have cried and looked pitiful.
After sitting at the small table with rich dishes, Zhao Yousong soon discovered that the girl was eating rice with big mouthfuls, and her chopsticks were flying, like a starving ghost reincarnated.
Xu Fengnian didn¡¯t say anything, but Xu Qing occasionally asked the little girl to eat slowly and not to be in a hurry.
When the little sweet potato was full, Xu Fengnian actually barely moved his chopsticks.
????????????????????????????????????????????? The little girl's tight strings seemed to suddenly loosen up, and then she became obviously depressed. She almost reluctantly lay on Xu Fengnian's back, closed her eyes and fell asleep, snoring slightly.
Xu Qing immediately covered his mouth to prevent himself from disturbing the poor child.
They were preparing dinner together just now. Although Xu Nianliang didn't speak much, talking about the past events that the children thought were very interesting made Xu Qing feel extremely sad.
Although she has never read a book, the truths in the world are the same. She is a woman who has endured life. She probably knows how men and women in the world suffer when they grow up. There is no way to blame others, but a How could such a young child talk about those things and still talk about them?
You find it interesting and can you still say it with joy?
She looked at the backs of the two figures who walked out of the house. She was a little angry at him for the first time because of her weak temper: "Can't you just let the child sleep in the bed?!"
At that moment, the man suddenly stopped.
Zhao Yousong was at a loss and a little scared.
Finally, Xu Fengnian turned around and returned to the house, gently handing the small sweet potato to Xu Qing.
She took the child to her own room, covered the child with a quilt, stood at the door and whispered: "You sleep in Yousong's room tonight."
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said, "No, I'll go to the yard."
She hesitated to speak, and finally just turned around silently and went to sit on the edge of the bed.
Xu Fengnian was sitting in the yard. Zhao Yousong lowered his voice and chatted with him for a while, then said that he was going to do the homework left by the private school teacher. Xu Fengnian said in a loud voice: "Study hard and get fame in the future. Don't let your mother do it." disappointment."
The child nodded vigorously and then tiptoed away.
Xu Fengnian said nothing.
Sitting all the way to the sunset, sitting on the bright moon.
Xu Fengnian remembered a lot of things from her childhood. Some memories were blurred, while others were still profound.
After arriving at Qingliang Mountain in Beiliang, especially the past events of his youth will become much clearer. However, at that time, his mother was no longer there, and only Xu Xiao was left.
Xu Fengnian remained motionless from beginning to end.
Only when you become a father will you understand that no matter how much your father has given to you, he will never feel that it is enough, and you will always regret that it is too little.
My little sweet potato, Daddy is sorry for you, but Daddy really loves you.
Maybe in the future, when she grows up, she will meet the man she loves, but as a father, he will reluctantly hand her over, hoping that she will be happy forever.
I hope that after I die and can no longer take care of her, she will continue to be happy.
At some point, Xu Qing walked out of the house and sat next to him.
After Xu Fengnian came to his senses, he immediately turned his head and wiped his face with a scribble.
Xu Qing said softly: "I had an uneasy sleep. I woke up several times in a daze and fell asleep quickly. Twice, I cried and asked me where you were. I told her you were in the yard, and she was willing to continue sleeping."
Xu Fengnian hummed.
Xu Qing lowered his head, "I'm sorry from the front."
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said: "Don't think too much, I have to thank you, really."
Xu Fengnian said with a hoarse voice: "I don't know how to take care of her I haven't been able to do it well. As long as she doesn't speak, I will be very scared"
Xu Qing leaned forward and bent over, holding his chin with both hands, looking towards the door of the hospital, "I came here like this back then. The more sensible the child is, the more capable the parents will be.The more I feel sorry for them, the more I feel guilty. "
Xu Fengnian listened quietly.
Under the moonlight, she talked a lot, until her eyes started to tremble.
Xu Fengnian turned her head and saw Little Sweet Potato walking to the doorstep of the house and looking at them. Then she sat down and waved to herself.
Xu Qing woke up suddenly, shook his head, and followed Xu Fengnian's line of sight and spotted the little girl.
Xu Qing stood up, walked to Little Sweet Potato, and asked softly: "Why don't you sleep?"
The little girl also stood up, grinned brightly and said, "You have a good sleep!"
Xu Qing smiled and said: "Then remember to come here to play."
Little Sweet Potato stretched out her little finger, "Here, pull the hook!"
Xu Qing gently pulled the hook with her.
Xu Fengnian smiled and squatted down, waiting for the child to lie on his back.
Little Sweet Potato lay on his back. After Xu Fengnian stood up, she turned to Xu Qing and raised her palm, shook it, and said with a smile: "It's hooked!"
Xu Fengnian reminded in a low voice: "Hold tight."
Little Sweet Potato snorted coldly.
Xu Fengnian turned around and smiled, "Let's go."
Xu Qing stood at the door and nodded.
The two figures disappeared in a flash.
Like a long rainbow that swept out nearly a hundred miles south of Youzhou, Xu Fengnian noticed something strange about the little sweet potato, stopped and asked worriedly: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Little Sweet Potato struggled to leave his warm back. She stood on the ground, lowering her head and saying nothing.
Xu Fengnian knelt on one knee in front of her, not knowing what to do.
She suddenly covered her eyes with her hands, as if she didn't dare to look at her father, and sobbed: "I'm sorry, I miss my mother I'm sorry I'm not angry with you Even if I am, it's only a little bit! Little Sweet Potato I just blame myself for being uselessDad, little sweet potato didn't do many of the things my mother asked me to do.
arrive¡¡"
At that moment, Xu Fengnian covered her mouth hard and slowly lowered her head.
This man who never retreated even a step outside Qintian Prison in Tai'an City and Beiliang Jubei City was afraid that his child would think that her father was not the hero in her mind.
Little Sweet Potato put down her hands, stopped crying hard, took a deep breath, suddenly hugged her father's neck with both hands, and said loudly: "Dad! Don't cry! A good man bleeds and doesn't shed tears!"
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
She sat on his neck again, and this time he walked south slowly.
"Dad, what are my grandparents like?"
"Your grandpa has the best temper, and your grandma is the prettiest."
"Then if you were disobedient when you were a child, would Grandpa beat you?"
"Haha, he wouldn't be willing to give it up."
¡°Then if I disobey in the future, will you beat me?¡±
"I don't want to give it up either."
"Then what will you do if bad people bully Little Sweet Potato in the future? I mean there are many, many bad people, even more than last time we were in the north! A lot more!"
"Dad will beat the ten Tuoba Bodhisattvas until their parents don't recognize them."
"Huh? What does this mean?"
"You will understand when you grow up."
"But I have grown up!"
"In my father's heart, sweet potatoes will never grow up."
"Then if there is a woman who doesn't like small sweet potatoes, will you not want small sweet potatoes?"
"Definitely not. Because dad likes sweet potatoes the most."
"Alas, this must have been how my mother was deceived by you back then."
""
"When I am angry from now on, I will call you Xu Fengnian. Dad, are you angry?"
"Little sweet potato, dad will never be angry with you in this life."
¡°What will you do if your words don¡¯t keep your words from now on?¡±
"Don't you have a wooden sword?"
"That's right! Can you accompany me to the roof in the future? And can we look for those things called fireflies together? Do we have chicken legs at home? Is the quilt at home thick enough?"
"Everything is fine! Everything is available!"
"Dad"
"Um?"
"You don't want to die, okay?"
""
"Don't pretend to sleep!"
"okay."
"Dad."
"What happened again?"
¡°Hey, I¡¯m just calling you.¡±
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Outside the city, smoke was everywhere.
Chaos arose in the city.
You know, this city is called Tai'an City!
For more than two hundred years, no foreign enemy army has ever attacked Liyang Capital!
What saddens him the most is that the reason why the opponent has not breached the city is just because he wants to prevent the Liangmang war from ending too early!
Zhao Zhuan, the emperor of the Zhao family, was sitting alone in the Diligent Room, where all the monarchs of the past dynasties had studied and learned. The only person standing at the door was Chen Shaobao and Chen Wang, the regular attendant of Zuo Sanqi.
The young emperor sat in the seat where he had studied when he was a boy, and looked up at the place where Master Qin Gong Fang was giving lessons.
No one knows whether this young monarch, who originally had great ambitions, was filled with anger, regret, or remorse deep in his heart.
"It's very strange that His Majesty the Emperor has never had any bad reputation from the prince to the time he ascended the throne. In fact, even if he is not the eldest son of the late emperor, his ascension to the throne and the title of emperor is still very legitimate and seems to be so popular.
After he sat on the dragon throne, there was nothing wrong with him. He was a famous scholar, a wise king, and popular among the people. But in the end, the Liyang Dynasty that unified the Central Plains, the old emperor Zhao Li, and the late emperor Zhao Dun, It was passed to Zhao Zhuan and was destroyed in his hands.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, some of the emperors who lost their country had to die, and some did not need to die. The former was like the former Emperor Jiang of Chu, and the latter was like the last monarch of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Although this young emperor belongs to the former, Zhao Zhuan actually does not care about his own life or death.
He just wanted to understand one thing here, why he would lose silently in the end, like a tall building that suddenly collapsed, falling apart in an instant, and even leaving no time to repair it.
Is it already wrong to say that my grandfather was a man of great talent and strategy? Or is the foundation of the Zhao family shaky in the hands of the father?
His Majesty the Emperor, who had his back turned to Chen Wang, looked calm.
Chen Wang suddenly saw the "young" eunuch standing at the end of the corridor.
Chen Wang hesitated to speak. The latter slowly moved forward along the corridor, passing by Chen Wang, and continued to move forward. Finally, around the corner, he disappeared.
From beginning to end, it was silent.
Chen Wang closed his eyes, his face full of pain.
I don¡¯t know when, the empress Yan Dongwu came here. Even at this moment, she is still as graceful as ever.
Chen Wang stepped out of the door and bowed.
After Yan Dongwu nodded in return, he walked into the diligent room and sat next to His Majesty the Emperor, silent.
Zhao Zhuan turned his head and said with a smile, "You're here."
Yan Dongwu smiled and said, "I'll stay with you."
Zhao Zhuan said softly: "I thought that Lu Shengxiang would be like Wu Chongxuan and Song Li, who surrendered when he saw that the situation was not good. Unexpectedly, he fought to the end, and the troops from the capital under his command were defeated seven or eight times out of ten! I thought that Zhao Sui, the king of Jiaodong, would The eldest son, Zhao Yi, would stand still like Gu Jiantang. Unexpectedly, the father and son sent their troops southward, and all the cavalry under their command died in the battle! I also thought that Xu Gong, the governor of the Lianghuai Road, would do what Lu Sheng did like Zhao Sui. He died in battle and died for his country. Unexpectedly, he had someone give me a secret letter today. He basically said this in the letter, "In today's world, there is no Xu Xiao on the frontier, and there is no Zhang Julu in the court. I, Xu Gong, really can't I am willing to die and be loyal to the Liyang Zhao family. We only have the elite border troops left in Huaihe and Huaihe. Instead of dying in a fight with the same room in the Central Plains map, it is better to die like the border army in Beiliang, where everyone turned north and turned south.'"
Zhao Zhuan actually chuckled, "The last sentence in the secret letter from this border general, the backbone of the country, is 'If your Majesty does not agree, even the humble ministers can do nothing'."
Yan Dongwu¡¯s eyes were sharp, ¡°You are a traitor who is causing harm to the country!¡±
Zhao Zhuan shook his head and laughed at himself: "It's just not very loyal. It's not enough to cause chaos in the country. Xu Gong still fought a lot of key victories in the beginning, otherwise King Yan Chi and the others would have no shame in continuing to act like this. This letter, Xu Gong It's not for me, but actually for Zhao Bing and Zhao Zhu and his son. Our General Xu has good intentions."
Yan Dongwu gritted his teeth and said, "The most hateful person is Chen Zhibao! The most shameful person is Gu Jiantang!"
Zhao Zhuan still shook his head, "No matter how powerful Chen Zhibao's 60,000 infantry and 20,000 elite cavalry are, and no matter how superb the white-robed soldier sage is in his military use, it is impossible to completely block the southward march of the two Liao border armies. Gu Jiantang does not want to exhaust his elite connections, and there is also a reason why many generals under his command have to hide their secrets."
Zhao Zhuan sighed: "In any case, Chen Zhibao is indeed worthy of the reputation of the soldier sage in white. No wonder the late emperor admired him so much."
Yan Dongwu looked lonely.
Zhao Zhuan smiled and said: "I should be glad that Chen Zhibao did not stay in Beiliang to assist that person, otherwise the world would not only loseOh my god, why don¡¯t I have a surname of Zhao? "
Yan Dongwu lowered his head and touched his belly.
Zhao Zhuan reached out and touched her head. The young emperor shed tears, but his voice was extremely gentle: "Live well, live well with your child, just want to be safe, and never tell who his father is for the rest of his life. "
Zhao Zhuan seemed to be saying to a non-existent person: "You and my Zhao family have had a close relationship for hundreds of years. Zhao Zhuan only asks the old god that you take her and leave Tai'an City safely."
I don¡¯t know where, as if in my ears or in the horizon, there was a sigh, and then I said one word, "Okay."
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
On this day, Liyang Emperor Zhao Zhuan went out of the city in person to ask for surrender, holding a jade seal in his hand.
The person who accepted the surrender was not Zhao Xun, who had just been emperor for ten years, or even Zhao Bing, King of Yanchi, but His Royal Highness Zhao Zhu!
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
In the early years, after Zhao Zhu and Chen Zhibao's group parted ways, what Zhang Gaoxia said to Zhao Zhu on the top of the mountain was her last words.
Many years later, in the winter when the Xiangfu year name was changed to Yangjia, she was already the queen of Liyang New Dynasty.
In the capital city that has been renamed Taiping City, in the Wuying Hall that has not been renamed, the slender man in green shirt with a cold knife on his waist, covered in blood, slowly walked into the hall.
Behind her, there was a person dressed in white. She was wearing a pair of Chunlei embroidered winter swords on her waist, helping the former to guard the entrance of the hall. Outside the hall were thousands of black armored guards.
She, who was already a queen, still stood with her sword in hand on that day, standing on the main hall, blocking between the two men.
One is the most noble man in the world, and the other is the most invincible man in the world.
??We were the best brothers.
The former wanted to kill the latter, but failed.
The moment the latter entered the hall, he put the cold knife into the scabbard. This action was full of undisguised ridicule.
He looked past the woman¡¯s figure and said nothing.
The new emperor Zhao Zhu, who was wearing a dragon robe, slowly stood up from the dragon chair, walked down the steps step by step, stood in front of Zhang Gaoxia, and faced the man face to face.
Zhang Gaoxia shouted angrily with a trembling voice: "Xu Fengnian! Do you really want to cause chaos in the world again?! Do you know how many soldiers and civilians are going to die in vain in Beiliang and Central Plains?!"
The green-robed woman simply ignored the mother-in-law. She just looked at the dragon robe quietly and asked, "Why?"
Zhao Zhu said calmly: "The little beggar wants to treat you to the best wine, but Emperor Zhao Zhu wants to never have any future troubles, and the children of the Zhao family can sit back and relax. It's that simple."
The man smiled and asked, "Can't you sit down, drink wine, and talk nicely?"
Zhao Zhu shook his head and said: "This is why I, Zhao Zhu, can wear this dress now."
Seeing the man reaching out to hold the handle of the knife, Zhao Zhu just closed his eyes, motionless, and waited for death.
Just as Zhang Gaoxia was about to rush forward, Zhao Zhu grabbed her arm tightly.
With a pale face, she loosened her fingers and the sword fell to the ground.
yes.
A capital city with hundreds of masters and 30,000 armors never stopped him. How could she, Zhang Gaoxia, stop him?
She also closed her eyes, but held her man's arm with both hands.
At some point, she seemed to notice His Majesty the Emperor staggering backward, as if someone had punched him in the chest.
She opened her eyes suddenly, and when she turned her head, she saw Zhao Zhu with a confused face, but he was unharmed.
But the man put away his fists and turned away, saying softly: "Be kind to Beiliang in the future, and I will watch you from outside the capital, little beggar."
The man and the white fox face disappeared in a flash.
Zhao Zhu lowered his head and choked up: "The little beggar is wrong, really wrong"
Except for her, no one listened.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
From now on, the rivers and lakes are gone, and the rest of my life is spent in mist and rain.
After turning around in this life, there will be neither wind nor rain.
??A golden war and an iron horse.
Freehand and romantic.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Magnificent waves.
Haoran is upright.
The sound of books is loud.
The bead curtain jingled.
The world is at peace.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Outside the capital, two riders are traveling far away.
A heavy snowfall has fallen on the world.
The white fox asked with a face: "Don't you regret it?"
Xu Fengnian in green shirt smiled and said: "?I have a clear conscience for Beiliang. "
Bai Hu'er's face was full of anger, "But you let me down!"
Xu Fengnian had a gentle face, turned around and asked with a smile: "What should we do?"
Bai Hu'er snorted coldly, didn't look at him, blushed for the first time, and said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Xu is a beggar! You will be my wife!"
Xu Fengnian gave her a thumbs up, "Technical work! Your Highness, I must reward it!"
Bai Hu'er stretched his face, raised the corners of his mouth secretly, and said angrily: "But my wife has a lot of wives. Let me count them, Jiang Ni, Lu Chengyan, Wang Chudong, Sweet Potato, Blue Bird, Pei Nanwei, Huyan Guanyin"
She keeps counting, why does it feel like there is no end?
Someone looked up at the sky, "Huh? What a heavy snow! It seems to be about the same size as the one we just met back then."
She held back her smile, raised her head, and sighed softly: "Yes."
In the heavy snow.
"Compared with a handful of embroidered winter, a handful of spring thunder.
Now I have an extra cold knife.
The rivers and lakes in the snow started with them and ended with them.
