Chapter 026 – Walking in the Spring and Autumn to See the Spring and Autumn
Several riders galloped out of Tai’an City, all of them are Liyang’s most elite stagecoachmen, the stagecoach they rode was the emperor’s beloved blood horse, the stagecoach rode wildly on the imperial street avenue, and wherever they passed, no one dared to make a slight obstruction.
The leader of the stagecoach carries an imperial decree of eight hundred miles of urgency.
The imperial decree was not in accordance with the rituals, except for the seal of the Prince of Liyang, there were only four words on the golden silk: either fight or retreat.
When the stagecoach sped out of the city, there happened to be a person slowly walking into the south gate, the sweat blood BMW is directly from this person’s body through, there is no picture of the horse overturned, there is no bloody scene, the rider continued to go south to send the secret decree of the 100,000 urgent, the Tai’an City visitor still entered the city unharmed. There was not even a city patrol armorer to capture this person, and all the armorers and people near the south gate turned a blind eye to him. After he entered the city, he came all the way to the Lower Mawei Stage House, stopped under a dragon’s claw acacia, and saw fourteen men wearing swords, in order, walk out of this post house in the capital, which was exclusively for the use of the Xu family’s generals, and mounted their horses to head for the imperial city. The young man under the dragon’s claw acacia followed, like an immortal on the wind, from beginning to end, no one looked at him.
But he recognized them, or guessed their respective identities, the cavalry at the head of the old man, called Feng Ling, born in Liaodong Mangdao, Xu Snapdragon under the banner of one of the infantry generals, the age of a son, the year before relying on solid military achievements in the capital as a third-grade official, know that Xu Snapdragon early summer last year, the destruction of the country, but only from the rank of the second-grade.
After a ride is a horse thief from western Liaoning Zhu Changfu, fish drum battalion founder, serious injury has not yet healed, temporarily in the capital wounded, did not follow the Xu family iron horsemen south.
Next was Zhang Du Jian, a descended general, who eventually retired from his position as standard-bearer of the Lotus Battalion.
Qin Yun, a veteran of the Xian Deng Battalion, had only ever served as a captain in his life.
Zhao Fengyang, a native of Jizhou, was the oldest scout in Xu’s army, but after receiving a poisoned arrow in his back, he became ill in rainy weather and had to quit the army because of the pain in his bones.
Song Kaichu, nicknamed shaking head showman, read a few days of books, and people like to shake their heads when talking, crepe talk, was once a group of bandits in western Liaoning, the head of the military division, the result of the Xu Snapdragon was still a lieutenant of the spearhead knife up to the end of the pot, Song Kaichu due to the blessing of the bandits into the soldiers. After getting older, more and more unable to ride a horse, opened a restaurant in the city of Tai’an, as long as it is the gowns of the Xu family iron horsemen, meat and wine enough meals, so these years have been doing a loss of business, and did not see how the old sour Confucian heartbroken, always to his mother-in-law’s children constantly chanting.
And so on, a total of fourteen people, are time and again in the rain of arrows in the forest of guns lucky not to die, should have been in the capital to spend their twilight years of the old man.
At this moment in time the world situation, is called by later historians of the North Han East Vietnam’s two northern regimes, one after another, during the Xu Snap first forced the death of the North Han Han have “Han God wood” reputation of General Fan, as if breaking through the bamboo, leading the army to break through the palace, all the way to horseback stepped into the Golden Palace. The other way south army, Lu Shengxiang with a thousand riders snow night Luzhou, open the gateway to East Vietnam, Gu Jiantang almost bloodless easily take half of the country. The side of the couch of the Zhao family in Liyang, there is no outsider sleeping soundly, and then the Zhao family son of God stood on the side of Xu Gu two young and strong meritorious generals, and forcefully argued with the people, insisted on with the armored and strong not lose the Liyang Chu to decide the world’s belonging to the decisive battle. But the Jinghe battle, the consort grave death battle, the successive battles, before the war has been the absolute advantage of the Leiyang soldiers and horses began to successive setbacks, has been to wait until the west base wall of the two armies face each other, both sides who do not dare to claim that the victory, not to mention that there is a claim of victory in a hundred battles in the Chu military saint Ye Bai Kui personally pressure, the Leiyang court began to fluctuate in the hearts of the people, with Xu Snapdragon not to move the troops for a long time, the capital of the gossips are all over the world, and even more! A few heavy weight of hidden spies into the palace, the words of the emperor of the Chu handwriting seal secret letter on the desk of Xu Snap’s barracks, to be with the temple of Liyang suffered a lot of aggrieved Xu Snap’s rule of the river, and rule the world.
The court advocates first under the Chu and then eat the world of the main war faction, the number of people is not much, the two armies against the western base wall, the victory or defeat is difficult to predict, the loss of the loss of the hard to fight the entire northern rivers and mountains, even by the court of the high hopes of the Gu Jiantang have begun to choose to shut up, slow down the speed of the south, so that the Liyang court and then no one is willing to speak for Xu Snapdragon, Xu Snapdragon in the past all sorts of unruly behavior are listed, the whole court of the civil servants The emperor was advised to recall the 300,000 troops of Liyang’s West Basement, otherwise, if Xu Snap’s heart is not in the right place, not to mention the fight with Chu, I am afraid that even Liyang’s family base will be overturned.
The old man Feng Ling sitting high on the back of the horse, the vision of the imperial city gates are getting taller and taller, riding skillfully, these years, although it is in the city of Tai’an old age, but has not fallen, the old man tilted his head towards the imperial street spit hard, stretching out his thumb habitually wiped the corner of his mouth, murmured: “You bunch of bastards each dying in front of the emperor, either wearing hemp and mourning or letting people carry a coffin, as well as in the The Golden Palace pretending to hit the beam, the result, your mother, in the end one did not die! I’ll let you softballs know how the Xu family’s iron horsemen live and die!”
Fourteen riders arrived outside the Imperial City Gate, Feng Ling’s one rider stopped his horse in the center, the remaining thirteen riders lined up, then the fourteen people rolled over and dismounted at the same time, coincidentally loosening the reins and touching the horse’s neck.
Zhang Du Jian grinned, turned his head to look at Song Kai Zhuo, “Shaking his head, we are all old men, we can’t talk to each other, you are the only one who has read books, why don’t you come?”
Song Kaichu said with a blank stare, “Change the one with a louder voice.”
Qin Yun, who single-handedly founded the Xian Deng Battalion, softly said, “Fuck him! I wish I had the chance to lead my brothers to climb the city gates there and plant our Xu family flag.”
Zhao Feng Yang laughed and scolded, “Son of a bitch, if you want to do this, won’t this confirm those rumors that we are going to rebel, shut your crooked mouth that can’t spit out ivory.”
Feng Ling touched the hilt of his sword at his waist and said softly, “The size of your voice is useless, even if those officials hear you, they’ll just pretend they didn’t hear you.”
Song Kaihuo even if he agrees with others, will subconsciously shake his head, smiled and said, “Old Song I only have some bad ideas in my life, did not go to the battlefield to fight, let alone charging into the battlefield, why don’t you let the old Song walk the first one today?”
Jiang Sheng, the old pawn who has always despised Song Kaichuan, stuck out his thumb and laughed, “Song Xiu Cai, you’ve been a wimp all your life, you’re afraid of death, but this time you’re man enough, Jiang Sheng scolded you many times in the past, but today he’s convinced, he’ll say you’re good, and then make amends to you!”
Zhu Changfu laughed softly: “Late, late, to the ground, the old Song he will not have a restaurant for us to drink.”
Old Xiu Cai heavily exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, looked around at his old brothers on the left and right, and said in a deep voice, “Song Kai Ju will go first.”
At the same time, Feng Ling angrily shouted, “Draw your swords!”
Fourteen Xu family swords, fourteen lives.
A generous death.
The young man was like a lone ghost that was neither in the yang nor the yin, and could only stand quietly behind the fourteen, watching as they simultaneously drew their knives and cut their necks to kill themselves, and then collapsed backward at almost the same time.
He walked to Feng Ling’s side, squatted down, and slowly stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to help the dead old man close his eyes.
Dan copper pass, the pass ten paces a ban, open stakes and countless dark sentries, outside the pass even more away from the sun nearly a thousand elite horsemen wandering all day long.
Seems to be a tight protection of a large group of nobleman inside the pass, but the pass inside and outside the pass know very well, even those who are not very old children and teenagers, it is clear that they are the poor “hostages” of the precarious, they are dead or alive, depending on whether their fathers to get the old man’s trust sitting on the dragon chair in Tai’an City. The Dantong Pass, which will never be mentioned in the history books, holds many royal relatives and golden leaves that will influence the pattern of the dynasty in the future, including the mother and son of Beiliang Princess Wu Su and the second generation of Beiliang King Xu Fengyen, the only son of Huainan King Zhao Ying, the son of the future King of Yanzhi Zhao Zhu, and the eldest son and daughter of the great general Gu Jiantang, etc. They all have one thing in common, which is that they are the only sons of the king of Huaiyuan, the future king of Yanzhi, and the eldest son and daughter of the great general Gu Jiantang. They have one thing in common, that is, their relatives in Guanwai, without exception, are all staunchly the main war faction, and are strong enough to decide the situation of a moment, a place or even a dynasty and a country.
But the top priority of these people was undoubtedly that woman Sword Immortal, Wu Su, the contemporary Sword Crown of the Wu Family Sword Mound! If it were not for her existence, Dan Copper Pass would not have needed to be so heavily guarded by such a large number of people.
This night, a small beggar familiar running in the dark alleys, always close to the wall in the shadows, to the outer wall of a courtyard, gently peeled open a pile of long ago loose bricks, revealing the size of the dog hole hole, the small beggar quietly drilled into the small beggar quietly, picked up three small stones in the hand, cat-waisted sneak to a window, threw two of them to the windowpaper, only to throw out the third, heard a dull sound of eating pain, and then a figure rolled over the window and fell down, the little beggar helplessly said, “Xiao Nian, didn’t we agree to open the window after three stones?”
Received a stone companion, is a younger than the small beggar child, eyebrows clear eyes, with uncommon north people south face, gently to the small beggar glare, whispered: “Dead brain, just you still want to learn sword with my mother!”
The little beggar smiled with a blush, then grabbed his companion’s sleeve, said with an anxious face: “My teacher is going to take me out of here tonight, are you leaving? If you want to go, let’s run away together!”
The child who was very scholarly at a young age shook his head and said, “My mother said, it’s not that I can’t go, it’s that I can’t go.”
The little beggar heard a burst of big head, “When are you still playing riddles with me, only you read a lot! You just say in the end to go or not! I have begged the teacher for most of the night before I begged for the opportunity, if I miss this time, we may not be able to see each other again in the future.”
Speaking of this, the little beggar’s eyes reddened a bit.
The other child grinned, “I’m really not leaving, the book says that there is no such thing as an unbroken feast under the sky, but don’t worry, the book also says that we will never meet again in life.”
The little beggar was so anxious that he went to scratch his own head, obviously giving this little year completely confused.
“Xiao Nian” heatedly laughed: “You still have a teacher? Is the old beggar?”
The little beggar hurriedly shook his head and said: “Of course not! It is a very, very learned scholar.”
Xiao Nian quietly laughed: “How big is big? Is it as big as Sister Swallow’s breasts on the next street?”
The little beggar helplessly said, “Xiao Nian, really not go? I really don’t care about you ah, if I don’t go back, master will be in a hurry!”
The little child hmmm, let the little beggar wait a while, rolled over the window back to the house, and soon rolled over the window and out, skillful to the extreme, stuffed the little beggar a bag, touched the little beggar’s head, the old man said: “Originally agreed that in the future we will go together to kill the enemy, you are strong, tube in the forefront, I can read and write more, to help you plan and plan, and now it seems to be no longer possible. This bag of money you take, go out, a penny hard to die heroes. Hey, aren’t you always craving for chicken legs, remember to buy two when you get to a safe place, even if I eat them too.”
The little beggar carefully put the bag, raised his arm and wiped his eyes, was about to open his mouth to say the secret that dad let him not say to anyone in Guan, Xiaonian had already pushed him, “Hurry up and go ah, what are you doing in a daze? When you’re gone, I’ll go and call Mother to the courtyard to practice with the sword, I can probably help you a little.”
The little beggar choked and whimpered, “Xiao Nian, don’t die, I will definitely go to you in the future, I only recognize you as a brother in my life.”
That childish boy’s age was several years younger than Little Beggar’s, yet he seemed to be far more mature than Little Beggar’s old ways, instead, he was consoling him, “How old are you, just for the rest of your life, go your way, those who achieved great things in the history books, even the old son in law and son can say lose, which is like you are so motherly.”
The little beggar nodded heavily, and cat back to leave, in the shadows of the dog hole side, waved his hand towards Xiao Nian.
Xiao Nian waved his hand.
After the little beggar left, the optimistic child who had been acting like he was indifferent, squatted and sat under the root of the wall corner, hugged up his knees, and secretly sniffled.
Suddenly there was a light tap on the head.
The startled child hurriedly turned his head, only to see his mother’s warm smiling face, hurriedly wiped away his tears, and softly said, “Mother, don’t tell father that I cried ah.”
The woman with peerless appearance lifted her son to sit on the window and softly laughed, “Xiaonian, remember, men don’t cry lightly, that’s only because they’re not sad yet. When you are truly sad, cry if you want to, don’t hold it in.”
The young child gave an oh.
The woman laughed, “Go, take the sword case.”
The child jumped and said, “Mother has agreed? Alright, I’ll go now!”
The child jumped off the windowsill and went to move the rosewood sword case that was almost as tall as the others.
The woman came into the courtyard and smiled back, seeing her son struggling to carry the sword case.
When she took the case, the boy turned and trotted away, sitting on the steps, holding his cheeks and gazing intently at his mother. Father but personally said, mother can beat down a hundred of him.
The woman erected the rosewood sword case and pressed one hand on the upper end of the case.
She did not immediately harness the world-famous Daliang Dragon Sparrow out of the sword box, but although the famous sword is hidden in the box, the sword momentum, has been the gas rushing bullfight.
Dan copper pass within a series of sharp dysprosium suddenly sounded.
The woman stood with her hands in the air, the sword box slightly trembling, a wisp of purple sword gas constantly seeping out of the sword box, reflecting the entire compound are purple.
But let DanTongGuan up and down are like a big enemy of that handle big LiangLongBird, actually is a whole quarter of an hour, have not come out of the box, but DanTongGuan all armor generals and JiangHu masters have long been chickens and dogs, everyone is afraid of fear.
The good thing is that the woman sword fairy somehow changed out of the sword to break the initial intention of the pass, which let DanTongGuan as a relief, to be honest, they are on the Wu family sword mound out of the woman, is three parts of vigilance, three parts of fear and four parts of respect, do not want to go head-to-head with her enemy.
In the courtyard, the two mothers looked at each other and smiled, the child carried back to the sword box and put it away, and then out of the house with his mother to sit on the steps, looking at the stars in the sky.
And a young man, who seemed so close but was far away, sat not far away, keeping them company.
The child rested his head on his mother’s knee and asked curiously, “Mother, big sister said that when people die they will turn into stars in the sky, and second sister said they won’t, so will they or won’t they.”
The woman touched the child’s head and smiled, “I don’t know.”
The child sighed, “If only I could grow up faster.”
The woman shook her head and smiled, “It’s better if you don’t grow up.”
The child stood up, put his hand higher than his head and laughed, “Mother, do you believe I’ll wake up tomorrow and be this tall!”
The woman laughed and didn’t say anything.
The child lifted his hand and bounced a few times, “The day after tomorrow I’ll be this tall!”
The woman stood up, stood in front of the child, raised her hand, which was a little higher than herself, then lowered her head and softly said, “Xiaonian, grow up slowly, don’t be in a hurry, sooner or later, one day, you will be this tall.”
Then she raised her head, looked at that height, and smiled.
Behind “Xiao Nian”.
It was exactly at that height that the woman was comparing.
Xu Fengnian, who was out of his body and traveling in spring and autumn, burst into tears, looked at her, and softly shouted, “Mother.”
