Chapter 166 – The wind rises and the phoenix flies, the sound of the willow ring selling flowers

Xu Fengyen rode the same horse with the shadowy DanYing who had his head draped in a scarf and his hands hiding his sleeves, and there was no talk of any discomfort, not to mention the fact that his heart vein was still being pressed by it, guiding the fluffy qi down to Kunlun, and at this time Xu Fengyen really couldn’t care less about what’s twisted or not twisted.

After rounding up with the White Horse Boxers, Xu Fengyen galloped back to Beiliang.

Near the border, Xu Fengyen raised his hand, and the handsome green and white luan fell straight down, resting on his arm. Soon there is a rhythm can be described as the ultimate in simplicity of a burst of hoofbeats into the ear, the leader is a bloated fat pig, crotch mount, but also thanks to a heavy sweat blood colt, this fat man was unprecedentedly draped in a set of light armor, because of the size of the cause of the waist knife is not easy to notice, it is really inconceivable that this is a military life of a hundred battles of generals, and even more so can not imagine that this fat man had a thousand riders to open the Shu’s amazing! The feat. After Chu Lushan armor, this time to see His Highness, did not roll off the horse on the spot prostrate on the ground, make some snot and tears flowed across the scene, just bent over the horse and cupped his fists, respectfully said: “Your Highness, the end will have opened up a clean path.”

Xu Fengnian frowned, “Xu Snapdragon has also come?”

Chu Lushan, who only brought three hundred elite cavalry troops, looked up and grinned, “The Great General alone has already scared the shit out of Gu Jiantang’s old army of 60,000 troops.”

The pale-faced Xu Fengnian nodded.

Easily crossing the unimpeded border, Xu Fengyen saw a rider galloping in.

A pair of father and son, looked at each other without words.

Traveling twenty miles, Xu Snap finally opened his mouth and asked, “Is the injury serious?”

Xu Fengnian shook his head, “Can’t die.”

Xu Snapdragon glared, “Bastard, what the hell are you talking about!”

Xu Fengnian glared back.

Xu Snapdragon immediately lost his temper and sighed as he looked ahead, “It’s been hard on you.”

Xu Fengnian didn’t have the heart to say, “You don’t say the same shit.”

Xu Snap nodded and stopped talking again.

Huang Ban’er dragged that Rune General’s Golden Armor, walking as if flying, following behind Xu Snapdragon and Xu Fenian, giggling all the time.

Yuan Zuozong and Chu Lushan drove side by side, but the two phases hate each other, separated by a distance of two feet, from the beginning to the end did not have any intersection of sight.

Chu Lushan also do not look at Yuan Zuozong, just hehehe smile: “General Yuan, look at the situation, not how to put out a lot of effort? Arms, legs and feet are still there, but it is His Highness is not lightly injured. What, did not meet worthy of your old man’s hand? Aigoo, the Yang Tai Sui are not put in the eyes ah.”

Yuan Zuozong ignored Lu Qiu’er’s acerbic sarcasm, a slap in the face is not a slap in the face.

Unfortunately, Lu Ball has never been the kind of person who can slap the slap in the sky, “I say General Yuan, don’t make a big achievement and look down on us can only be far from your flag waving minions, come on, give us to tell us about your old man in the Iron Gate Pass outside the great achievements, turn around and I’ll go to you to set up a monument to go, or to give you to build a shrine? It’s not a problem.”

Yuan Zuozong always did not hear, did not look and did not say anything without anger.

Chu Lushan continue to chatter endlessly there, but slightly lowered voice: “Hey, I thought you would follow Chen Zhi Bao to go to the west of Sichuan to dominate it, your old man with qi dangguo that simple goods, too much to let me down, you see yao jian ye xi zhen those two don’t remember the grace of the white-eyed wolves, did not let me down.”

Yuan Zuozong narrowed those almond eyes.

Dead fat man has not had enough, twisted his thick short neck, still want to talk, was Xu Fengyen turned back to reprimand: “Lu ball, go back to Beiliang to drink your green ants! If it’s not enough, drink milk and urine, whatever you want!”

Chu Lushan shrunk his neck, finally couldn’t tense up, revealed his original face, and said with a flattering face, “What your highness says is what you say.”

Yuan Zuozong looked calm.

Chu Lushan muttered, “What should be countered is not countered, and what should not be countered is countered, doggone it.”

Yuan Zuozong suddenly said, “On the way here, His Highness said, turn around and pull Qi Dangguo, drink together.”

Chu Lushan round eyes, twisted his head and asked, “Say it again?!”

Yuan Zuozong re as stone Buddha meditation, not a word.

Chu Lushan wiped his forehead with hot sweat, “Motherfucker, I’m more panicked than when I heard that you were going to light my sky lantern.”

Xu Snapdragon turned his head to glance at the pair of righteous sons who had been like water and fire for many years and quietly sighed.

Xu Fengnian inhaled but did not exhale for a long time, then exhaled heavily and turned his head to ask, “Deadman A, why?”

Xu Snapdragon said flatly, “It’s not for no reason that Huang Ban Er didn’t get close to his second sister when he was young.”

Xu Fengnian’s lips trembled, wanting to speak.

Xu Snapdragon said, “Although she wasn’t born to me and your mother, I never treated her as some kind of dead soldier armor. I only know that I have two daughters, two sons and two daughters, the three children are all handsome and follow their mother, only the second daughter looks the most like me, Xu Snapdragon, who do I love if not her? Raising sons and daughters is a different way of raising a son, and I as a father don’t know whether it’s right or wrong. Really speaking, the most bitter or you, all the children, I have not scolded anyone, only hit you once, and also just twice and three times to let you run outside, it is not allowed to say that someday I have to white hair to send black hair, your mother went early, otherwise sure to whip me to death.”

“Then you don’t stop my sister?”

“I couldn’t stop her at all. I sent a message to her saying that Cao Changqing would go forward to intercept, she went anyway, and there was almost a mutiny within the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry. This stupid daughter, she is really more than her own flesh and blood, do you think it’s like me?”

“Like. By the way, these words turn around and tell my sister yourself.”

“How dare ah, you kid every time is just take broom stools shoo me, that girl really angry, but will pull out the sword.”

Xu Fengnian helplessly said, “Look at you, the King of Northern Liang!”

Xu Snapdragon laughed: “As long as you’ve got the talent.”

Xu Fengyen gently shook his arm and the six year old phoenix that had been with him for many years lifted its wings and flew.

Xu Fengyen looked at the divine bird that gradually turned into a black spot in the sky and said softly, “It really can’t be seen, donning armor, it’s quite like a general.”

Xu Snapdragon also looked up into the sky and softly said, “You’ll be the same in the future.”

※※※※

A luxury carriage with beautiful jades and lingeries sails into the stage road in the territory of Beiliang Road, it is said that walking in the jianghu does not reveal the yellow and white, the master of this carriage is really unaware of the dangers of the jianghu. Horseman is a physique robust middle-aged man, late fall depression cool, is still a black short hit tight shirt, body muscles bulging, but the qi convergence as usual, breathing and exhaling leisurely and uninterrupted as a long river, apparently already reached the peak of the master of the outside world. From this, the character sitting in the carriage, domineering also have some reason and rely on.

The middle-aged coachman surnamed Hong Phyo, this all the way to go that called a bloody rain, from the dynasty to the southeast to the northwest of the Liyang, overnight the head or the elders into a dry gang clan no less than twenty, these characters in the jianghu have a big name, and never practiced a few hand style can be a reputation of the small fish shrimp, Hong Phyo sighed, some of them are difficult to ride a tiger, deep down the depths of the helplessness, for the young masters behind them! More mixed with a few points more and more intense awe, some words he has not even dared to say to her face, he sought for her as a complementary martial arts cultivation of food for the tiger is not false, but her trip into the north of Liang, why is not with the tiger to seek skin?

Inside the carriage, no maids and maidservants accompanying the young woman is wiping rouge in the mirror, a large-sleeved purple dress, but also thanks to her to suppress this pure color, her lips had been some sick through the purple, this time with the expensive brocade box in the peach rouge pressure, otherwise it is far more Yin gas than the English. She pursed her lips, her eyes did not have any emotional fluctuations. The general woman holding a mirror to depict the eyebrow paste flower yellow, not to mention still look like this fish and geese, is always a joyful and happy thing. She casually threw away around the branch copper mirror and brocade box rouge, thought about it, and picked up the handle copper mirror, stretching out a finger, in the mirror horizontal and vertical sketch, broken.

She is the mistress of the Huishan bullock dagang, Xuanyuan Qingfeng. The carriage piled up no less than a hundred books are mostly Xuanyuan family collection of hundreds of years of secret books, she wants to send a person, is with send a pile of scrap metal no difference between the loser send method. The problem was that the other party might not be willing to accept it, which made Xuanyuan Qingfeng frown, her body’s aura became more and more gloomy, like a withered osmanthus tree in rainy weather. Based on the secret techniques contained in her family’s schooling, she was like a mother taotie that chose to devour others for more than a year, drawing on countless feats of cultivation, allowing her martial arts realm to grow by leaps and bounds in a single day. Before going down the mountain, there are a group of Hui Mountain old enemy bully her woman as a family, teamed up on the mountain to seek provocation, regardless of the presence of neighboring Longhu Mountain real people, she will be all the dozens of people Hooks grabbed into a dry corpse, the original relationship is good Tianshifu has been explicitly stated that Xuanyuan’s children shall not step on the Dragon and Tiger Mountain half a step. But she Xuanyuan Qingfeng will care about this?

Xuanyuan Qingfeng stretched out a finger, gently wiped the rouge on the mouth, the corner of the mouth up, hung full of sarcasm, and so I went to the martial arts ao, the first target is your Tianshi House that nest of yellow and purple nobleman!

She lifted the curtain and lazily sat behind the guest secretary Hong Pho. Hong Phyo didn’t turn around and laughed lightly, “We’ve arrived in Northern Liang territory.”

Xuanyuan Qingfeng nodded and asked, “There is a crooked poem by Lu Zu that says, “Having been passed on the Three Ching Longevity Technique, one has already proved that the Vajra Unbreakable Body is not bad. When you say that the Finger Xuan realm is higher than the Vajra, is it because of this poem that the Longevity Technique comes before the Vajra body?”

Hong Phyo let out a laugh, “This kind of reasoning, family head you can have to ask Huang Fangfo, I don’t know much, I only know to bury my head in martial arts in this life, I used to casually get a book of secret books and walk one way to the black, after that when I arrived at Hui Mountain, I only picked one or two books to learn, and didn’t think much about going through a few more books. In the end, it’s still stupid, dead brain, no medicine to cure.”

Northern Liang’s cool breeze, autumn feeling on the face, Xuanyuan Qingfeng mood sparse a few points, less eerie hostility, smiled: “Uncle Hong, Huang Fangfo but stabbed through the layer of windowpaper of the realm of the first grade, you have to catch up. Otherwise, we really don’t have many Hui Mountain to show off in the jianghu.”

Hong Pei nodded and said, “Don’t worry, family master, Mister Hong won’t slack off in any way. Walking on the external path, the beginning is easy to suffer later, from the external to the internal is not easy, but since the master of the family has given me a straight and clear path, if I can’t reach the first grade of vajra realm, it’s really a brick in the moutain pit that’s of no use whatsoever.”

The lethargic Xuanyuan Qingfeng gave a hmmm.

The master and servant were silent for a long time.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng coldly and seemingly jokingly asked, “Uncle Hong, will you one day stab me in the back when I’m in rebellion?”

Hong Phyo, who had his back turned to her, had the reins of his horse in his hands slightly stagnate, then quickly swung them down and laughed, “No. I, Hong Phyo, can have today, are your father, Xuanyuan Jingcheng, Hong Phyo does not know how to talk about benevolence and morality, but to help relatives not to help, is doomed from mother’s womb out.”

Xuanyuan Qingfeng smiled oddly and said in a calm tone, “Then Uncle Hong stays in the Northern Liang Army.”

Hong Phyo resisted the urge to turn his head and gently asked, “What?”

“Uncle Hong you are well versed in the art of war and tactics, the Hui Shan private army cavalry are all cultivated by you, that Beiliang Prince will most likely accept you, once a prince, when he becomes the Beiliang King, there will always be a day when you will make a name for yourself, compared to stooping to giving me, the jungle fiend, as a fighter and causing a stink, it’s a thousand times better. Whether you think that I am keeping you as a hostage in Northern Liang for the purpose of exchange, or because I don’t trust you and am not willing to keep you with me, it doesn’t matter. This matter is settled.”

Hong Phyo said in a deep voice, “Even if I am in Beiliang, in the future, Mister Hong will not dare to forget for a day that I am a Hui Shan family slave!”

Xuanyuan Qingfeng leaned against the wall of sedum wood on the outside of the carriage and did not make a sound.

Hong Pei did not continue to be thankful either.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng’s line of sight turned from behind Hong Phyo to the willow tree on one side of the stagecoach road.

Willow, harmonic to stay.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng stretched out his fingers and made a gesture towards the willow tree on the side of the road, chopping off a willow branch out of thin air and harnessing it back into his hands.

Hong Pei’s breathing changed from sharp to slow in an instant.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng compiled a willow ring and put it on her head, smiling sweetly.

The brocade bag that was equivalent to the last words had clearly said that Hong Peo had a rebel bone, seemingly naive, but actually treacherous, and needed to be suppressed by force. It wasn’t that Xuanyuan Qingfeng didn’t have the confidence to make him submit, she was just afraid that she wouldn’t be able to help but eat this guy with a backbone alive.

In her eyes, what could a Hong Phyllis be.

She vowed to ascend to the top of the martial arts as a woman!

※※※※

The paddy fields outside Xiangfan have been harvested nine times out of ten, it is a good harvest year, the people say it is thanks to the blessing of the new King of Jing’an.

Only this King Zhao Xun Jing’an in the folk good reputation, in the Qingzhou green party is a sharp turn down, all scolded the feudal king forgetting his roots, over the river bridge, only by the son of the feudal king, the elbow began to turn outward very much. The cause is the court ordered the clan to deploy soldiers to the border for defense as well as additional defense, the number of Jing’an Wang side of the most sparing no effort, so that the temple on the talk more and more no weight of the Qing party complaints, but also, this is the court put on the stage of the cutting of clans, this is from Zhao Xun into the Beijing submitted to the two sparse thirteen policy, now move a stone stone their own feet, Zhao Xun, the exceptionally served as a strategy to make the “Zhao Xun, the exception as the Secretary General, is really ruthless enough to do the same unambiguous, is used to doing the king of the mountain of Qingzhou generals scolded not. Private meeting, said this kind of chest no big ambition of the fart of the feudal king, do what Jingfu party to stabilize a clan of Jing’an king, go to the capital court as a Minister of Rites is almost the same.

But look at the situation, Jing’an king Zhao Xun is happy in it, do a lot of down-to-earth benefit to the people, do not mind at all by the green party pillar big brother dislike, because of the special identity of the Secretary to make, no more many feudal king confinement, and even a few times to take the initiative to visit the green party pillar family name, ate the door is not to, but the old man of the high gate valve behind the old man and the green and strong faction, can not talk about what a good face to the king of Jing’an. In the past, those years of accumulation out of the deep friendship, are given to dilute, only some of the small characters of the generation, temporarily in the family can not say a lot of roles, to Zhao Xun or the view of the good gradual good.

Today Xiangfan city outskirts of a family of farmers but flattered, two scholar look like a gentleman even stopped the horse off, one of them dressed in expensive scholar also personally under the field to help them harvest rice, at first when the family of the old farmers really dare not let that gentleman hands, for fear of cutting the hand, but can’t survive that smile pleading, but also trembling should be under the gentleman is worthy of looking at the University of the readers, learn what are fast! The first mu of autumn harvest, the second mu of rice paddies, the son of a man cut rice with the usual crop work of the villagers as skillful, the old farmer’s granddaughter to the man handed over the kettle, blushing, the old farmer to the joy of even more than that, private jokes about their own granddaughter, said that the scholar is a rich and noble family origins, do not see you as a ninny.

After cutting the golden ripe rice, that gentleman also helped loaded on the oxcart, dark old farmers are for his heartache that a shirt, and finally looked at her granddaughter slowly step sneak three turn back playful look, shaking his head with a smile, the vicissitudes of the old man’s heart lamented that the gentleman is really a good man ah.

Personally go down to the field to cut the rice of the male gentleman sat on the ridge, wiped the forehead sweat, simply take off the shoes and socks, will feet on the mud ground.

Beside him was a smiling and gentle young scholar, plainly dressed, no different from a poor scholar, who did not go down to the field because he was blind.

A servant hidden in the distance wanted to serve a pot of chilled cool wine that had been delivered quickly from the mansion, but was waved back by the brocade-clothed male.

He asked with a smile, “Lu Dan, do you think this counts as this king knowing the hardships of the people?”

The blind scholar tugged at the corner of his mouth, “If you are able to refrain from mentioning the word ‘this king’, only then would you be considered to truly know the hardships of the folk.”

The eunuch laughed out loud, not taking this kind of big disrespectful words at all seriously.

Jing’an king Zhao Xun.

The blind man Lu Dang who used to make a living by gambling chess in Yongzi Alley.

Zhao Xun sighed, worried: “Lu Dan, the matter of the Qing Party, you let me first feed the small fish, long line is good to catch fat, and then supplemented with the slow stewing of old turtles on a civilian fire, I have followed your established strategy to do. These are not difficult, after all, they are considered to be their own family, the green party is the building is about to fall, destined to be the end of the fragmentation, a group of the temple was driven out of the center of the scattered soldiers, most of them in addition to depend on me, there is no other choice. But now we have a pressing need, the capital that a family of three masters of the Song family is determined to bite me, Song Guanhai that old man to create the heart of the Ming school, to dominate the literary world for twenty years, our dynasty after the pacification of the Spring and Autumn period, the Song old man is a personal inscription of the “loyal ministers,” “sycophant” two biographies, and the compilation of the “Nine Pavilions of the whole book, the 15th of each month to assess the world’s scholars, can be ridden in the Imperial City, are all the world’s readers worship the most extreme honorary honor. The small scholar Song Zhiqiu was a young man of the world. The little man Song Zhiqiu blue and better than blue, took over the right priest of the Imperial College, a word of gold, even His Majesty the emperor also praised, nowadays the imperial examination to get a scholar, most of the readers can be had to write that ‘Song style’, pandering to the examiner. Song family phoenix Song Keli also not insulted the family learning style, a list of gold, ranked in the list, become the new Huangmen Lang, in case of polishing a few more years to go out as an official, immediately mixed with sand to our side, can be completely difficult to deal with. Song Guanhai remembered his father in court humiliated him as an old man, now every day in the capital sarcastic me, but also constantly in the court impeachment of me, even if I heard that he is now physically ill, not a few days to live, but there are Song Zhiqiu and Song Keli in the, for us to be a nearly endless battle ah.”

Lu Daan, perhaps because of his blindness, seemed particularly focused when he listened to others.

He is lukewarm nature, never interrupt when others speak, naturally more will not have half a sentence of pedantic speech, quietly waiting for King Jing’an pouring bitter water, also did not jump to conclusions, just calmly asked: “King Jing’an know Song Guanhai in the temple has a loyal and good ministers say?”

Zhao Xun infected by the Lu Deng, coupled with itself is not fidgety, at this time has been a lot of calm and quiet, nodded: “Of course I know, in the spring and autumn before and after when the three slaves of Song Guanhai in order to wash out their own innocence, with the late emperor said the difference between loyal ministers and good ministers, good ministers are for their own personal interests, not afraid of the sword and axe added to the body, in order to be known in history and the emperor suffered the curse of the book of history. The loyal minister is to diligently assist the king’s great cause, at the same time, they also reap a good reputation, the descendants of the fire, blessed with boundless fortune. Song Guanhai, that old man, of course, is a loyal minister, and in the past twenty years, he has remonstrated with His Majesty countless times, and even the Empress personally pleaded with His Majesty on his behalf several times, and only then did he escape from imprisonment. At this point, I do admire Old Master Song from the bottom of my heart.”

The corner of Lu Dang’s mouth hooked up with a sneer, shaking his head and slowly said, “But it’s just the long and short doctrines of a mediator, suddenly using Confucianism, suddenly turning to Huang-Lao, and then revering the law, with no integrity to speak of, not being able to afford the word husband. His Majesty once said that Song Fu Zi is slow and easy to understand, but I think it is flattering. The world thought it was a compliment, but upon deeper examination, it was not a nice thing to say. Or rather it is a sentence with a lot of leeway to cover the coffin.”

After Zhao Xun froze, he laughed comfortably and clapped his hands, “Fresh fresh fresh, Lu Dang you have a great saying. I want to drink!”

Lu Dang is still the ancient well of the state of mind, smiled lightly: “Last time I let the servant girl read the secret letter you sent to the capital, one of the small piece of news written ambiguously, rumor has it that Song Guanhai admonished the emperor’s zhangzhang, all secretly stored copies, but so far held back not to give to the historians. This is and want to be a loyal and good minister of the hearts and minds of insufficient.”

Zhao Xun frowned: “This thing is true or false is not good to say, even if we take a step back, Song Guanhai really have a secret record of the zhangzhang, as long as not given to the historian, we can take this to do what hand and foot? If one day brought into the coffin, it is even more hopeless. Song Guanhai is the one who can let His Majesty write an inscription after his death.”

Lu Daan said in a calm tone, “With Song Guanhai’s character, it must be true. As for whether or not to hand it over to the historian after his death, considering the blessings of his children and grandchildren, even if he is old and dim, his son, Song Zhiqiu, will stop it. But ……”

Zhao Xun impatiently said, “Say it quickly.”

Lu Yan, who originally made no attempt to sell the story, paused for a moment.

Zhao Xun hurriedly smiled and apologized with a bow, “It’s me who was in a hurry.”

Lu said, “people near the twilight of life, especially when they know that in the world, some of the powerful people who do not have far to worry about more than close to worry about, often there will be some big or small faint trick. Even if there is Song to seek intentional sewing, but not watertight, just wait for Song Guanhai died, strike while the iron is hot, use the spies lurking in the Song House, deliberately to the capital of a hostile force of the Song family to leak the matter. If there is no dead spies are also no harm, the gossip of the empty cave is just as secure, the capital is never short of catching the wind and catching shadows of the villain. But there is a point extremely important, news transmission to be fast, to be the fastest speed into the ears of the emperor, must not give the Song family to destroy copies of the zhangzhi idle. If it is quickly destroyed, and then want to bring down the Song Guanhai, can only let the Jing’an Wangfu lead, authorize a person to collect three hundred and forty-two zhangzhang, advocate scattered in the capital, just so, you have to inevitably involved in it, and unwise. We can not belittle the ear of His Majesty’s eyes and ears of the light, as well as those official old man’s keen sense of smell. Also, please King Jing’an you keep in mind that Song Guanhai is after all the great prince and the fourth prince’s teacher, although you have had a side with them in the capital, seemingly mutual perception is not bad, in fact, only to the present, the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages. If this Songmen disaster without King Jing’an you personally, there is no trace of words, then you can tarnish their reputation, false rumors of the leakage of copies of the zhangzhang, due to you. In this way, you can be completely removed from the capital officialdom, temporarily away from the two emperors. And you don’t have to worry that His Majesty the Emperor will be suspicious of you; he is not that kind of ignorant and mediocre ruler, after all, and will only increase his trust in you. This is the right path for Xiangfan and you, the Secretary of Strategy.”

King Zhao Xun of Jing’an chewed carefully and nodded frequently.

But Zhao Xun then asked, “This small matter can really push back the Song family?”

Lu Dang smelled the unique rustic fragrance of the autumn harvest rice paddies, his face finally overflowed with a little smile ripples: “Doing drama in the officialdom, can not do too much. With the stewed duck soup is a reason, slow stew out of flavor, but too long, there is no flavor. The Song family has a way of governance, for the official is far inferior to Zhang Shoufu Huan priests and other people, compared to the Western Chu survivor Sun Taishi is too much worse. Also, since ancient times, the writing of the intention of the requirements of the big, cut into the requirements of the small. Seeing the slightest thing, don’t underestimate this kind of small things, really let the Song family from glory to decline, precisely this kind of small things. The most important thing is that you can’t be a good person, but you have to be a good person. Song Guanhai is not Xu Snapdragon is not Gu Jiantang, not seemingly domineering and eccentric in fact, the bottom is incomparably strong Zhang Julu, rich and noble only three generations of the Song family lost the foundation of the frivolity, seemingly full of honor, coupled with the Song Guanhai too many grudges against the literary world giants, want to save the evening, it is very difficult. Song to seek the right altar of the State Children’s Prison, Song Keli’s small yellow door, once the big trouble, those who call themselves the disciples of the dogs of the Song family, most of them will rush home to put pen to paper to strike, unwilling to fall into the well are considered to be the bones of the strange good. King Jing’an you can choose to make a move after the death of Song Guanhai, you can also make a move when Song Guanhai is seriously ill, if it is the latter, probably can be alive gas and scared to death of this old man.”

Zhao Xun fell backward, lying straight on the ridge, crossing his legs and squinting at the sky, “Then what will happen to Song Zhiqiu and Song Ke Li?”

Lu Dang replied, “Let’s see how they respond, take the brambles and plead for forgiveness, disowning the old man and recognizing the court, there is still hope for a resurgence. If the word filial piety, and even have a little bit of extravagant hope of loyalty and filial piety, is to die in the scribble.”

Zhao Xun is speechless.

Lu Daan was also silent and grabbed a handful of dirt.

Zhao Xun suddenly sat up and asked with a smile, “How did you learn all these doorways?”

Lu Dang laughed at himself and said, “When I am blind and have nothing to do, I can only blindly think about some things.”

Zhao Xun stretched a lazy waist, “You say that old duck pot, really delicious? Turn back and let the subordinates in the house help you make two cups?”

Lu Dang nodded, “Just don’t deduct your salary.”

Remember to make soup this matter of Zhao Xun patted his butt and got up, Lu said gently put down the shovelful of soil in his hands, followed by stood up and said softly: “The woman’s origin is unknown, but also hope that King Jing’an do not stain too much, heart immovable feelings can be.”

Zhao Xun said sternly: “wanton!”

Lu Dan smiled without saying anything.

Stalemate.

Zhao Xun’s face changed violently, holding Lu Dan’s arm, incomparably sincere, said: “I have been waiting for you to say this! I know that Xiangfan up and down, only you are sincere to me, Zhao Xun will not know? Lu Fang, also hope that you can in the future when I take a detour, please straighten out.”

“I’m just a blind man who can’t take the imperial examination and can’t serve as a court official, as long as King Jing’an is willing to inform me, I will know everything.”

“Hey, do you want to hear about that bedtime affair? I, Zhao Xun, can even talk to you about this!”

“Don’t listen if it’s not polite.”

“Don’t! Lu Fan ah Lu Fan, other things are you teach me, I must today to get back a game, properly with you to say this man and woman things!”

“Don’t listen if it’s not polite.”

……

Lu said in addition to the old Jing’an king Zhao Heng in the world, turn around the various Yamen as a number of unimportant small officials, until after Zhao Xun hereditary recklessness, has been living in the king’s house, but also unexpectedly did not serve in any official position, is only considered to be the bureaucrats Qing guest shoulder to shoulder. But the king’s house up and down, no one dares to slow down the first red man in front of the feudal king, even two generations of people are in the king’s house as a steward of the housekeeper, met the blind man Lu Deng, but also the same hush, afraid of a little mistake. And Lu RuYan also really good to talk, occasionally free, can with the servants of the house without revealing the servants to mingle, give a book to say the fox immortal, help people fortune-telling palmistry, writing spring couplets is also a request, really is a desire for a loose fairy characters, and then small-minded difficult to get characters, also hate not up, who is full of support with a will not rob with you what things but can always help you a good character! Who’s not happy with a kind person who won’t steal anything from you but can help you out at any time?

Lu Dan’s residence is quiet and elegant, although it is said to be a unique courtyard, the place is not really how grand, in addition to a few maidservants responsible for cleaning chores, there is also a personal maid called Xinghua, serving this young blind man who does not compete with the world.

The night was late and quiet.

Lu Daan sat in his study, taking care of Apricot Blossom, he purposely lit two oil lamps, as to whether it was that the top quality turpentine oil and water was as expensive as gold, Lu Daan did not bother about such things.

Lu Fang was currently doing something that he had been doing even before he went blind, mocking himself as a dog’s tail. That is the collection of twenty-three history and the world’s states and counties of the book, all generations of the famous public collection of chapters of the book, regardless of the national canon of the chapter, or official records of the people’s hidden record, there is that record, in addition to the King of King of Jing’an books, but also asked Zhao Xun secretly acquired, cost gold and silver a few, Lu Yan still do not bother to pay attention to. Lu fancied let the maid apricot daily recitation text, and help hand record outline of geographic atlas, he is handwritten in fly-head block letters in the first draft of the book page to do meticulous eyebrow notes, so far has been completed more than ten volumes, put in the corner of the study of a bamboo basket, temporarily named the book for the “spring and autumn states and counties benefit from the disease prescription book”, intentionally self depreciating as a only know how to cure the headache head of the end of the flow of the Langzhong, for the world of the state to take a pulse to cure the disease, as for whether the As to whether the right medicine is prescribed, it will be up to the people who read this book in the future to decide. It is inaccurate to say that it is a book of military science. It is not accurate to say that it is a simple geographic atlas, and it is not right. Zhao Xun once came to the study, casually turned over, and did not read the interest, just will write this book as a leisure errand of the land also do not go to force.

Lu said he put aside the pen to rest, turned his wrist, apricot flower asked if you want to rub the shoulder knocking back, still not accustomed to be attentive service Lu shook his head.

Apricot Flower is the Jing’an King’s House of elite dead soldiers, from Zhao Heng passed to Zhao Xun hands. She was proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she was definitely more proficient in escorting and killing people. She can go to her death frankly for the sake of escorting Lu Ran, and she can also kill him Lu Ran without blinking because of a word from Zhao Xun. Lu Boan blind, can know, and also will not be on her or Jingan king to have a stigma.

Both said with people don’t doubt doubt people don’t use. And also said that the heart of the defense people can not be without. Anyway, the truth under the sky are given to say light, but too much truth, is actually equal to not say.

Lu has been studying how to carefully weigh the hearts of people, and ultimately came to the conclusion that women and children all know weigh the pros and cons, but I’m afraid that the bucket is too big and too small. Come to think of it, just came up with a land boasts think very stupid way, is to chess pieces more or less to calculate the thickness of the human heart.

Lu Fang listened to the subtle sound of the lamps snorting as they burned, and laughed, “Apricot Blossom, there are countless sounds in the world, which one do you like the most?”

Apricot Blossom had a mediocre appearance, but her voice was clear and crisp, extremely pleasing to the ear, and her body was graceful and moving, because she had to read as well as occasionally write on behalf of the author, she sat in the chair next to Lu Yan, and smiled, “Your Excellency, the slave girl doesn’t know. But if Your Excellency gives some choices, the slave girl can answer.”

Lu Daan nodded gently, thought a little, and narrated, “The sound of springs, the sound of the zither, the sound of pine waves, the sound of bamboo whistling, the sound of mountain birds, the sound of banana rain, the sound of falling leaves, the sound of a young child reading, the sound of songs of famous prostitutes, and the sound of a young girl picking her burden and selling her flowers.”

Apricot Blossom covered her mouth and laughed, “The slave girl definitely chose the sound of selling flowers.”

Lu Daan was dumbfounded, “I forgot that your name is Apricot Flower. But let me tell you, in the former dynasty, there was a great writer who was called the son of a poet, who said the same thing as you, also said that of the thousands of heaven and earth’s clear music, the sound of selling flowers in the alleys of the marketplace was the first, and it was the most capable of breaking one’s liver and intestines.”

Apricot Blossom asked doubtfully, “Sir, why is this?”

Lu Dang in front of her, probably have a request everywhere, also do not mince words, “These years I also have been thinking about the reason, when I figured out then let you know.”

Spending time with Lu Yan, Xinghua also became much more casual, and joked, “There are also things that Gongzi doesn’t understand ah?”

“There are many.”

After the blind scholar who had been praised by King Jing’an to his face as “not inferior to Yuan Benxi” finished speaking, he lifted up his pen again and wrote the Prescription.

This king is Zhao Heng, not Zhao Xun.

Lu Dan still does not understand who is the Yuan Benxi who made Zhao Heng still have grievances before his death.
