Chapter 203: See you in the jianghu, see you in the sand
In the northern part of Xishu, there are nine mountains that are like swords, in which the big and small swords are facing each other, the old emperor of Xishu of the former dynasty chiseled the stone to open the door according to the cliff, which is called Jianmen by the world, and set up the flying beams and stacks, which is a very dangerous and dangerous place. Only because of the unification of the Central Plains after the Liyang, a large stagecoach road, Jianmen Mountain Road will be put into the cold palace, for many years only those who are small business merchants and businessmen will come and go from this. About the sword door, with the sword nine yellow in the city of wudi and Wang Xianzhi after the death of the battle, some people say so nicknamed, because of the year in the mountains here to understand the sword, some people say that the sword nine yellow out of shu before the trestle road somewhere on the stone wall engraved with the sword, now there are a number of young western shu practice sword ranger child deliberately to the trestle road to look for the opportunity. In the peach blossom gradually fall branches of the summer time, the goat’s intestines set in the mountain wall between, slightly dark and damp, a middle-aged man riding a donkey, there are schoolboys look like a clean-cut young man leading the donkey and walking, the young man carrying a large bamboo box, muttering to himself, the appearance of the man is not shocking probably accustomed to the young man’s grumbling, ignoring it, dozing in the donkey on the back of the leisurely and. At this time in front of a group of people coming head on, the leader is a common woodcutter in western Sichuan, with a group of young men and women in brocade clothing, the young man’s eyes light up, inserted in the bamboo box of a bunch of peach branches gently thrown to the middle-aged man, whispered urging: “Master master, hurry up, turn around to ride the donkey upside down! And now it’s time for you to recite a poem in a loud voice! Otherwise, there are so many donkey-riding followers in today’s world that it doesn’t show your identity. Otherwise you can’t call yourself the Peach Blossom Sword God, no one would believe you.”
The middle-aged man helplessly said, “This journey has encountered more than a dozen sets of pedestrians, every time I have to recite a poem, but also with the word peach blossom, where I have so many poems in my stomach ah.”
The teenager glared and threatened, “Then repeat the last one, the one called ‘Ã’Â Li Feng Xian Ren’, it sounds quite immortal. Master, if you don’t recite it, I won’t help you with the donkey.”
The middle-aged man was indeed good-tempered and talkative, lazily turning around to ride the donkey upside down, carrying the peach branch in his hand, and then reciting in a loud voice, “Ã’ÂLi Peach Blossom has been seen all over the place, and the road is getting longer and longer as the twilight grows deeper and deeper. The old man granted me the three Qing talismans, living his thousand years to laugh at the king …….”
The young man who was just now as tired as a dog was in an instant put on the dusty demeanor of a child under the seat of an immortal, and without looking askance, took the donkey in stride.
The group of woodcutters hired to help lead the way of the young ladies saw this scene, first froze, and then someone turned his head to the companion of the white eyes in a bad mood: “Hey, these two big magi, bully us have not seen the world, really think that get a donkey with a peach branch is Deng Tai’a? I also get a white horse with a sword is Xu Feng Nian!”
The young man was so angry that he turned red, the middle-aged man laughed, turned around and stopped riding the donkey upside down, and threw the peach branch into the crack of the bamboo box. The two groups of people just brushed past each other in a cloudy manner, the donkey-riding teenager’s carefully set up chance encounter only resulted in countless blank stares. The man looked at the deflated teenager’s back and laughed lightly, ”Angry? Don’t be angry, in fact, the master and long ago wanted to say to you, the jianghu are preaching a real person does not show the face show the face does not real person ……”
The teenager coldly grunted, obviously still angry.
Middle-aged man consoled: “Well, master this time into the Shu certainly take you to see all the great scenery of Sichuan.”
The teenager was silent.
The man had to laugh: “Otherwise the master to a sword and travel, to the gang long to see?”
The teenager sighed and said, “Forget it, those guys have eyes but no pearls, they will suffer anyway.”
The teenager has his own sadness, “Master, I am not talking about you, among the four great masters in Jianghu, Cao Changqing admired you, and then he fought with Topaz in a shocking battle, even Xu Fengyen’s flying sword is still a gift from you, but nowadays, they all say that Cao Changqing defeated that useless monk, and how domineering he was, and how Xu Fengyen and Topaz battled for thousands of miles in the western region, how unprecedented and unmatched they were. how no one has ever come before or since, but no one says anything good about you, I’m worried.”
The man snickered, “Then why do I teach you swordsmanship for three days and two days every time?”
The young man was very old-fashioned and sighed heavily, “I’m not self-aware, I have neither roots nor qualifications, I can’t be a disciple, so I have to think that my master is more successful.”
The man gasped and laughed, “You kid is thinking out loud!”
The teenager suddenly turned his head and asked, “Master, back then why did you accept me as a disciple ah, look at others Wang Xianzhi, Yu Xinlang Lin Crow, several of them can be a first-class martial arts master, so I can talk to you, don’t expect me to help you make a name for yourself in the Jianghu in the future.”
The man was very free and easy to say: “Master what do I want that reputation, besides, live and die without regrets, it’s great, do you think that Cao Changqing Xu Fenian Tuoba Bodhisattva and the three of them can do this? They can’t. If the master died tomorrow, disciple you can be self-reliant food and clothing, so I simply do not have any too much to miss people and things. Xu Fengnian on the other hand can’t let go of the family money left behind by his father, Cao Changqing can’t let go of the river and mountain of Da Chu, Topaz Bodhisattva can’t let go of his fame and fortune even more, this kind of land god who can’t live a happy life, you don’t go to envy.”
The teenager sighed: “really tired.”
Teng Tai’a, who was the real Peach Blossom Sword God, smiled and said, “Is it true that when I say that, you’re less tired of leading a donkey?”
The teenager gave a heave, not as if he was bitterly amused but said from the bottom of his heart, “Master, it’s still true.”
Master and disciple two people behind a burst of movement, the teenager turned his head to see, it is those who walked a meal back to the road of the male gentleman thousand gold lady stopped not far away, and then dispatched that woodcutter ran to them, seems to be a little embarrassed, rubbing his hands on the back of the donkey DengTa’a smiled: “Can we discuss a thing?”
Deng Tai’a laughed, “Older brother, you tell me.”
The woodcutter lowered his voice and said, “Big brother ah, I’m sorry, those rich people’s children said they want to buy a donkey with you, I can’t afford to offend, I can’t help but come to run this errand, big brother, if you’re willing to sell, I think it might be better to talk about the price higher, open up to ask for a twenty to thirty taels, I guess they don’t care about the difference of ten to twenty taels.”
Before Teng Tai’a spoke, the young man was already furious, and instead of taking it out on the woodcutter, he turned around and shouted to the group of rich and noble children, “Our donkey is not for sale! We won’t sell it even for ten thousand taels!”
Turning the donkey’s head, Deng Tai’a stroked his chin and said softly, “If it’s gold, it’s for sale.”
The teenager who was only concerned about the world’s chaos added, “Count yourselves lucky, Master said, ten thousand taels of gold and it’s for sale!”
The woodcutter shook his head, these two people really don’t know the danger of the world. In the middle of nowhere, if that group of young people who were annoyed started to do something wrong, is it possible to report to the police after going down the mountain? This way, this group of men and women that tone can be the top of the sky, a mouth of a so-and-so county governor so-and-so generals, does not seem to be an ordinary family’s origin ah. Really not good bad spirit, in the woodcutter prayed for peace when, the seven or eight people have been raging fast step, one of the body strong waist sword young man even scabbard together from the waist, pointing at the Deng Tai’a sneer: “the old man, don’t give a face, this gentleman big gas, the last chance to give you a chance, this donkey, fifty silver I bought, not we can’t afford a higher price, but we can’t afford a higher price, but we can’t afford a higher price. It’s not that we can’t afford to pay a higher price, I used to spend 4,000 taels of real money a month! However, I have always had a purpose in life, that is, even if you do wrongdoers must have a bottom line.”
The teenager struggled to suppress the anger in his chest, “Master, you can even tolerate this? Anyway, I don’t want to endure it anymore, I want to strike! It’s not possible to deal with a Zong Shi, but against these guys, I’m quite enough.”
Teng Tai’a glanced at a wonderful woman in the group with rather colorful appearance, then looked at his disciple, who swallowed heartily.
Teng Tai’a looked at this disciple who had quietly grown from a child to a teenager at some point, back then, he saved this orphan by the roadside on that snowy day, and for so many years, it seemed to be this child who was taking care of himself as a master, at that time, Teng Tai’a had just left from the Wu Family Sword Graveyard, and it was not yet a Peach Blossom Sword God, and was not well-known in the Jianghu, and he had no interest in shaking off his swordsmanship with anyone, and he could tolerate things when he encountered them, and in the earlier years, it was this Frozen brain disciple time and time again, that small body natural time and time again to beat into a pig’s head, probably this is born of chivalry, it is precisely his Deng Tai’a did not, Deng Tai’a, everything under the sun, in addition to the sword in the heart, are not concerned about their own high up. Later one day in the restaurant listened to the storyteller’s jianghu legend, commenting on the Jianghu clan and masters, the little apprentice suddenly said to practice martial arts, Deng Tai’a laugh and asked him to learn how to become a martial arts, he said he had not thought about it, first learn to think of other things. Teng Tai Ah was also happy to throw away this drag, it secretly facilitated his entry into a small gang, when the child is considered to be “bone clear and strange” child jumped to become a direct disciple of that small sect, not long, practicing martial arts practice out of a top master of that energy quickly consumed, practicing martial arts sparse usual, but because as a direct disciple, monthly There are one or two pieces of silver can be taken, but let the child into a small fortune. Waiting to rest assured that he Teng Tai’a had to show up, surprise leaping child at the gate to see Teng Tai’a, said to invite him down to the restaurant to rub a good meal, and then ran back to the clan, take almost all the bag of silver saved, the result turned out to be the child to Teng Tai’a with the clan to buy a sword, because the child used to travel with Teng Tai’a, and occasionally hear Teng Tai’a to the world of the swordsman’s scoffing, feeling that this The rescuer who could not afford to buy a weapon should not like swordsmen but aspire to a career as a swordsman. Since then, Teng Ta’a took on the only disciple in his life. And that sword, to the discount for a donkey, Deng Tai Ah to go to the East China Sea, Wudi City and Wang Xianzhi battle, but also when the peach blossom is in full bloom, the apprentice is very attentive, at least than empty-handed to go to Deng Tai Ah, the master to be a lot of attentive, persuade the master not to bare hands and empty fists with people, too much of a disadvantage, and finally wore out his lips did not persuade not want to carry a sword of master, the child can only be resentful and gambling pointing to a peach tree! The child had to point to a peach tree in anger and frustration, and said, “Master, you can at least carry a peach branch as a sword can also be ah.
Then, there was a Peach Blossom Sword God who rode a donkey upside down.
Since Deng Tai’a became famous, this disciple will still have this and that kind of complaint, complaining that his master did not win Wang Xianzhi, it is Wang took advantage of the age of the old monster, it is the victory is not martial. Complaining that Deng Ta’a gifted Xu Fengnian the box of twelve flying swords, but not complaining that the master had good things but did not miss his disciple first, but complaining that this master never showed the box of flying swords in front of him, treating him as an outsider, and for this reason, he also fought a cold war with Deng Ta’a for most of the month. The young man also complained that this jianghu has no vision, his own master is obviously the killing skills of the world’s greatest master, but with the other three side by side.
In the chicken skin complaints, Teng Ta’ai felt his ears about to get calluses, and then suddenly one day, realized that his disciple, who always seemed to grow up, really grew up, and began to steal glances at the beautiful women he met on the road, eh? The original lips also began to emerge that little bit of scruff. In Deng Tai’a trance out of the kung fu, the sword pointing at the stout young man angrily said: “I’m this temper …… Hey, old man, don’t give face to face ah, but also thanks to the old man is not the kind of unscrupulous son of a bully, otherwise you would have been to the beat down, hurry up, fifty silver, donkey! The donkey belongs to me. You and the kid will take the money and get out! It’s enough for you two to go to the best restaurant in Shu to eat and drink!”
Teng Tai Ah rolled over and got off the donkey, patted the donkey’s back, looked at the disciple who had been less impulsive than when he was a child, back then, he knew he could not beat him, but also wanted to go up and get beaten up, now after all, he is Teng Tai Ah’s disciple, not to say that he is fighting with the first grade masters, under the hands of the second grade master to support a 20 to 30 strokes is certainly not a problem, but he is getting more and more not to love to get together with those small fights. Teng Tai’ah ignored the anointed son who was actually not too bad, walked to his disciple, touched his head, lazily laughed: “Apprentice ah, although there is not much success, but the master I have such a disciple as you, just feel very happy.”
The teenager was creeped out and said, “Master, what’s wrong with you? It can’t be that you’re sick, right?”
Teng Tai’a laughed, “Just happy.”
In the crowd a young male with excessive drinking and color shook his folding fan, he did not even enter the eyes of the middle-aged uncle riding a donkey, but that little brat’s those eye strokes were too abominable, just now even dared to sneak a look at the woman beside himself that he was so fond of, when he didn’t notice it? The only daughter of the vice general of Western Shu Yizhou is also something you, a donkey-dragging teenager, can covet? He closed his folding fan with an incomparably skillful snap and laughed at the teenager, “Fifty taels of silver, quite a lot, if you aspire to the jianghu, you can buy a good weapon, if you are interested in the imperial examinations, you can even buy some good books.”
Teng Ta’a heard these words, which were both eerie and sheepish, and laughed them off. His disciple even rolled his eyes and said to Teng Tai’a, “Master, let’s go, don’t bother with them.”
Teng Tai’a nodded, but said, “Give me the bamboo box.”
The teenager frowned and said, “Don’t, although I’m afraid of getting tired, but I’m even more afraid of our donkey getting tired, master you’re carrying it, in the final analysis it’s actually not it’s carrying it ah, it’s not young.”
Teng Tai’a glared and said, “If you want to give it, give it.”
The teenager reluctantly took off the bamboo box and handed it to Teng Tai’a, not without another burst of muttering.
Big Sword Small Sword twin cliffs faced each other, and there was a big wind whistling between the mountains.
Occasionally there are flying birds swept over.
Teng Tai’a rarely went to carry the box himself, then smiled at his apprentice, “You go down the mountain first.”
In the next instant, Teng Tai’a did an odd maneuver as he drew out the peach branch from the bamboo box and threw it high.
Just when the crowd was confused, suddenly someone with sharp eyes was the first to shockingly realize that after that peach branch was thrown, it actually hovered in the air!
Just as the teenager was also bewildered, Teng Tai’a gently gave him a sideways push on his shoulder and softly droned, “Qi sinks and raises the sword, Treading Mountain Technique!”
The youngster who was pushed out by his master on the trestle between the cliff walls heard the voice, even though he was in the high altitude between the two cliffs, he still subconsciously made that stepping sword stance of harnessing Qi to sink down.
The young man happened to step on top of the peach branch.
This scene was just like an immortal’s sword.
After a short period of panic, following this sword god master even if he had never eaten pork but at least had seen a pig run the teenager suddenly laughed heartily and yelled, “Down the mountain!”
The teenager’s sword stepped on the wind and went down the mountain.
The sound of laughter echoed among the cliffs for a long time.
How many young men in the world dream of walking on the river with a sword?
And how many people can be like that donkey boy, like the wind immortal flying around in the jianghu?
Deng Tai’a remounted the donkey, and joked to those dumbfounded young people, “Fifty taels of silver, really can’t afford to buy this donkey.”
Finally Teng Tai’a glanced at the young lady that his disciple had fallen for, and said with a smile, “Girl, remember, that teenager, he ah, nagged Wang Xianzhi to his face about all the wrongs of the City of Wudi, drank at a table with that Cao Changqing, and pointed to the nose of the son of the King of Guangling, Zhao Phyo, and cursed, and, of course, the most important thing of all, is that this guy gave me that Peach Blossom Sword God The most important thing, of course, is that this guy gave me the nickname of Peach Blossom Sword God, awesome, right?”
The young woman was so completely surprised that she couldn’t speak.
The sound of the old donkey’s hooves leisurely pounded on the ground, traveling farther and farther away.
The Peach Blossom Sword God on the donkey’s back suddenly had some regrets, three of the four great masters, Tuoba Bodhisattva had already fought, Cao Changqing could not be fought, then he Deng Tai’a did not know if he still had a chance to fight with the boy surnamed Xu in this life.
Kid, don’t die.
If you die under the hooves of the Northern Mang barbarians, don’t you think it’s a shame?
Wudi City in the sea pin general Wang old monster died in Northern Liang, the status of the jianghu fell, especially in the groom and others have left the East China Sea, this former sacred place of the jianghu after a long period of turbulence, the city’s forces of large and small, especially without the constraints of the ban on the martial arts order, the masters of the battle of the invitation to fight, frequent enough to want to find a higher location for the location of the war are difficult, and between the sects The armed fighting is countless, it is said that a good person has calculated, only in six months of sudden rise and sudden destruction of the clan, up to more than sixty, of course, many of these so-called gangs are kittens and puppies three or two, all this chaos, until the young man surnamed Jiang in the city head tide half a year, only began to stabilize, for the identity of the young, there are many guesses, there is said to be Jiang Hakodin is the real Wang Xianzhi closure of the disciples, there is said to be similar to the Qi Qi’s identity, there is said to be the young man named Jiang. Some say that the surname Jiang is a relegated immortal person similar to Qi Xuanzheng, possessing great fortune, and is the person who ultimately restrained the king of Beiliang’s aversion to victory in this generation.
In the Wudi City alone Jiang axe Ding two ears do not hear the world affairs, just day after day in that city beat the tide, the original waist hangs a handle of the river pawn into the cool provocation of the king of northern Liang of the handsome son, fair skin tanned into the general bronze color of the fisherman. Since the boxing master Lin Crow left the city of Wudi, Jiang Axe Ding no longer alcoholism, in fact, it is not much of a turtledove, Wang Xianzhi’s residence would have become an unclaimed land, he Jiang Axe Ding rely on a pair of fists to monopolize the former residence of the Wang old monster, disobedient and ungrateful are given to him to whack the body.
This night, the sea has a bright moon.
Through the moonlight, Jiang Axe Ding rarely carried a pot of wine to sit at the head of the city, sitting on his knees, slowly drinking wine. The identity of the secretive young man, but also once young and wild, a large city of Tai’an, among his peers, he disliked the two sons of the general Gu Jiantang too rigid, disliked the year’s fourth prince in vain, but no ambition, disliked the big prince Zhao Wu coarse and unattractive, disliked the children of those yellow and purple ministers, all of which are drunken, in the end, the only thing with the emperor’s illegitimate son, Zhao Kai, like-minded. Before Zhao Kai returned to the capital from the Shangyin Palace and died at the Iron Gate Pass in the Western Region, the two men got drunk, one said that he would set up a world of work for the Zhao family in Liyang, and the other laughed and said that the rivers and mountains belong to you and the rivers and lakes belong to me, and that if he helped you, Zhao Kai, to sit on the dragon chair, and how about appointing me as a king of the free world?
Jiang Axe Ding looked at the bright moonlight on the sea, lost in thought. Comparing identity family background, Zhao Kai is the emperor’s son, is the disciple of Yang Tai Sui. And he Jiang Axe Ding has not been worse, is the son of the emperor of Liyang, although since childhood in order to cope with the endless vengeance assassination, completely incognito, not with the man surnamed Yuan, but Tai’an City, the top of the handful of people, and which dare to underestimate him Jiang Axe Ding? The youngest son of the old Minister of the Household, Wang Xionggui, now the bullshit capital of the four great sons of the leader of the guy, the early years of conflict with their own, the results of the evening after the incident ran to the honest kowtow to admit their mistakes. When he was young, Jiang Axe Ding said he wanted to practice sword, the man who spoke vaguely for himself to come to Gu Jiantang’s sword, Gu Jiantang was still the Secretary of the Ministry of War at that time, and even the Fangchun Lei also personally taught, the man even took out from the inner arsenal of the hilt of the River Pawn, more than ten years, no less than twenty martial arts masters for their own feed, which has the status of the same superb realm of the great heavenly realm of Artemisia Liu masters!
In that case, why would he still lose to that Xu?
Jiang Hak Ding viciously threw the wine pot into the sea and hissed, “How can I be willing, how can I admit defeat?!”
Jiang Axe Ding breathed heavily and pulled out a book from his arms, seemingly wanting to discard it just like the wine pot, but he raised his arm, and in the end, he still didn’t just throw it away.
This book, is his father’s real relic ah.
The real name of the man is not known, was Liyang deservedly emperor, Liyang dynasty great wisdom close to the demon’s strategist, his opponent, is Xunping, is Huang Longshi, is Xu Snapdragon, is Yan Zhi Wang Zhao Bing, is Zhang Julu led that set of “Yong Hui Spring”.
Jiang Axe Ding muttered, “Father, you have never lost, so how can I compare to you?”
Jiang Axe Ding slowly withdraw his hand, look woodenly at the book yellow books, the title of the book written in meticulous italics, a very strange name, “Night Boat”. Jiang Hao Ding knows the reason, because the man once mentioned, the world of learning, only the night boat in the most difficult to deal with. And this book is written in the beginning of an absurd little story, is that the Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and an old boatman, four people together canoeing in the sea, the Confucianist said that the world’s people of science, the vast and righteousness, the Taoist said that the art of longevity, the mysterious and unparalleled, the monks said that the deepest Buddhism, the heavenly maiden scattering flowers. The boatman first listened to the more horrified, almost scared to lose the hands of bamboo artemisia, and then listened to the more sleepy, confused, and finally accidentally lost the boat artemisia, making the four can not return to the shore.
This book is Yuan Benxi at that time with Song Keli out of the capital traveling north and south of the Yangtze River, came to the Wudi City, personally handed over to the Jiang axe Ding. He only said that the stories in the book are only some hearsay of the countryside, such as ghosts, hardly elegant, purely a bored old man’s child’s play only, in addition to their own son to turn a few pages to see a few eyes, no other use.
The number of words in this book is up to more than 200,000, so each page is extremely dense, Jiang Axe Ding can imagine that the scene is not magnificent to speak of, a slightly withdrawn old man in the identity of Yuan Park in the Hanlin Academy on duty, a pot of inexpensive wine, a dish of fragrant peanuts, such as cones such as knives, a rod of the old rabbit purple hair, sitting alone, drinking, the pen is very slow, sketches very small, every time to write to the self-satisfied! The moment of its intention, a small sip of wine ……
Jiang Axe Ding put the book carefully back into his arms, backward lying down, looking at the bright moon in the sky above his head, “When I was a child, you told me that heaven and earth gave birth to my seven-foot man, that is to win to be a lord, lose to be a hero, and die to be a ghost hero.”
Jiang Hao Ding closed his eyes, bitterly said, “But you and I last side, but said as long as I live well, it is enough.”
A long silence, this young man who was the most withdrawn in Wu Di City was like sleeping to death.
Amidst the morning sun bathing, after finally opening his eyes Jiang Axe Ding sat up and said softly, “I think well, the world can forget a hundred a thousand Jiang Axe Ding, but can not forget that one Yuan Benxi!”
Jiang Axe Ding stood up again and said with tearful eyes, “Father …… I’m going to ask Zhao Zhuan and Li Yang for this account on your behalf, and I’ll help that Zhao Casting to sit on the dragon chair …… I… …miss you a lot.”
“Surname Xu, if you’re lucky enough not to die, then I’ll see you at the temple ……”
Just at this time, a hand carrying a small bamboo cage little boy trotted up to the top of the city, clothes, although shabby, but to take care of themselves quite neat, without words, that clean little face also has the same age children do not have a solemn look, all the way to the child ran to see that familiar slender back, smooth out the breath, to feed the mid-air, only then shouted: “Jiang axe Ding! ”
Jiang Hao Ding gathered his emotions, turned to look at this child born and raised in Wudi City, seems to be an orphan, an elderly couple in the city adopted him, not far from Wang Xianzhi’s old residence opened a baozi store, it is said that in the past Wang Xianzhi’s disciples in the Yu Xinlang and Lin Crow are very much like to go to that small place to eat breakfast, seven or eight years old child’s eyesight is naturally also high, the child raised a bone-thin clay dog, something happens on the Walking the dog all over the city, making it look as if a general was patrolling the area with his troops, Jiang Hak Ding arrived in Wudi City, no one to help take care of life, especially after Lin Crow left the East China Sea, all the time is very careful, so the matter of breakfast is in the baozi store randomly resolved, each time is to spend 20 Wenqian to buy a small cage of thin skin and juicy baozi, over time, but also with the child who collects the money to be familiar with it, and occasionally also tease this what to do what to say what words are a slam-dunk. Things to say what words are all a child, Jiang axe Ding also wondered, so an easy-going couple how to teach such a full of old scholarly flavor of the odd child.
The child with the same surname as the old couple, Gou, handed Jiang Hodin the buns and said in a serious manner, “Twenty cents, put it on your account first, if you forget, I will remind you.”
Jiang Hak Ding said helplessly, “Gou disregard, just twenty dollars, no less.”
The little boy glared, “My surname is Gou, my first name is You Fang! Taken from the sage’s canon, ‘Parents are here, don’t travel far, travel with a party.'”
Jiang Axe Ding, who had been silent for a long time in the East China Sea, only met this interesting child, and only then would he slightly reveal a few moments of the style of the capital’s first-class family son of that year, and smiled, “You don’t even know who your parents are, why do you need to ‘have a party’? I see ah, the green-clothed girl who was your childhood friend, the nickname she helped you with, is more appropriate. Gou Bu Li, Dog Wu Li, how smooth it is to shout.”
The child boarded up his face and said, “Don’t say anything if it’s not polite.”
Jiang Axe Ding laughed, “What does the little kid know about rites or not rites, think back in the day, the reader who gave me the matter of rites that is reason, that was the Zhangfu sage of the Diffractive Sage himself.”
The child frowned, “I don’t know if that gentleman was learned or not, but I do know that his students didn’t learn well.”
Being flirted with and taught a lesson by a small child, Jiang Axe Ding was not angry, sitting at the head of the city, opening the slightly cool bamboo cage, his two fingers gently picking up a small and delicate bun, tilting his head and gently dropping it into his mouth, his mouth full of flavor, with a lingering aftertaste.
In the past years in the city of Tai’an, ate how many of the world’s top delicacies of the mountains and the sea, have long been unable to remember the flavor, and now it is the conversion down to just two dollars a small meat bun, one day do not eat on a cage, it will be unforgettable.
Jiang Axe Ding smacked his lips, ate six or seven buns in one breath, and then seemed to remember some past events, hehehe playful smile: “Tai’an City had a big rain, drowned a lot of fish.”
Gou Youfang gave an alas and said softly, “Not funny.”
Jiang Axe Ding looked down at the caged buns and lamented, “Yes, people eat dirt for a generation, and dirt eats people for a time.”
The child did not speak, after all, little age, should not have this feeling.
Jiang Axe Ding suddenly turned his head to look at the child standing by his side, smiled and said, “After the second grade Little Master, into the realm of Vajra, rely on perseverance. Finger Xuan relies on qualification and enlightenment, and if you want to have the great weather of heaven and earth, then you have to rely on innate roots and bones, and as for that Land Immortal, you have to look at that ethereal qi. Gou disregard, do you want to practice martial arts?”
The child did not hesitate to shake his head and said, “I don’t want to.”
Jiang Axe Ding was surprised, “In this Wudi City, dealing with Jianghu people every day, you actually don’t want to practice martial arts?”
The child said softly, “I heard people say that practicing martial arts is a bottomless pit, even more silver can’t fill it up, I don’t have any money.”
Jiang Axe Ding suddenly looked at the last bun in the cage and asked in surprise, “Gou Bu Li, I remember I have already eaten ten buns, how come there is one more today?”
The child calmly said, “Master said that you jianghu people need to practice martial arts to beat your body, so you need to eat more, so I asked Master for one more, and I can only ask for one more, or else this cage of buns will lose money, my master is not easy to make money.”
Jiang Hak Ding first cried and laughed, then smiled tenderly, seemingly a little reluctant to eat that eleventh xiao long bao right away.
Jiang Hao Ding finally pinched up that bun, slowly ate it, looked into the distance and laughed softly, “What I give you, you may not want, besides, in the long run, it may not be really good for you. However, I will soon be leaving this city, and most likely won’t be coming back, but I will miss you little brat, and hope that you are doing well. More hope in the future if one day you grow up, I, it so happens that I have not yet given the soil to eat that time, you come to find me, then I must treat you to a drink.”
Hearing that this Jiang Axe Ding was going to leave Wudi City, the child’s heart was a little lost, but his face didn’t show it, he just nodded his head and hmmm’d, saying a good word.
Jiang Axe Ding smiled and lifted up that bamboo cage with one hand, looking out over the vast sea where the tide rises and falls, and laughed aloud, “Jun don’t see the three mountains and five yueyue high up in the clouds, Jun don’t see the Northwest’s boundless winds and sands painfully killing people, and Jun don’t see the great river flowing to the sea without return! Jun and listen, life is only a hundred years, want to immortal, only in a cup of wine!”
The child also followed the heroic Jiang Axe Ding smiling, unprecedented joke: “Meet in the future, you can invite me to drink good wine.”
Jiang Axe Ding ruthlessly threw the bamboo cage into the sea, reached out and rubbed the child’s head, “It’s not a matter!”
The child froze and said anxiously, “Jiang Hak Ding! Why did you throw the bun cage? I was going to bring it back to Master!”
Jiang Hak Ding was stunned and speechless, and was at a disadvantage.
A long, long time later, that old generation of masters passed away one after another, there will be a very chewy saying.
Yu Di Long is not really invincible.
Simply because the world is still Gou Yufang.
The people south of the Guangling River in Liyang, it is hard to imagine that there are places where the frost has not yet completely ended at the beginning of summer.
This is the two Liao, where there are black mountains and white waters, where perhaps the first snow of the Liyang dynasty will fall, and where the last snow will fall, where the wind and snow of mid-winter, known as the Great Smoke Bubble, cover the sky and the sun. In last winter’s cold season, there are two people in Qi Jiajie’s personal escort from the capital north into the two Liao, can let the capital’s first swordsman so much publicity, naturally, because of the two people of that Yu Xinlang, is a number of forces secretly trying to pull together the martial arts master, Yu Xinlang politely refused to stay in today’s son of heaven, the emperor Zhao Zhuan, then Qi Jiajie sent all the way, to dispel the covetousness of the other forces of the idea, as the king of the Xianzhi As the first disciple of Wang Xianzhi, befriending Yu Xinlang is almost like accepting the mantle of the Wudi City in its entirety, and Lou Wujia, Lou Hanque, Lin Crow, and the rest of the three, even if they can’t be used for their own purposes, at the very least, they can still receive a good karma with these top masters of the same breath. So Qi Jiajie took a message for the Emperor on the occasion of parting at the border, telling Yu Xinlang that no matter when he returned to Tai’an City, His Majesty the Emperor would treat him as a friend.
In Jinzhou, Liaodong, a river called Songnen River, there is a small village living along the river, about a hundred families, the village of the young and strong mostly hunters, according to legend, a family’s ancestor in his life once caught two head of the sea of the green, both as a tribute to the Liyang set up at that time in the two Liaodong governor’s office, the family’s family as a family heirloom of the preparation of that bow, is the governor’s office, in addition to the bounty of the additional gift. There were two honorable guests living in the village, late last winter a group of hunters encountered a black blind man who somehow didn’t go into hibernation, it was the benefactor who drove away the giant bear, afterward, the village youth and strong men like to learn a few tricks from that young man, and the village children also like to play with that child who likes to wear a green coat.
After the summer, finally able to take off the heavy fur coat of the green girl was very happy, and in that winter she had frostbite, she herself does not feel any hard time, but is less than always guilty. In fact, she didn’t like Liangliao too much at first, because when she first entered this place, the wind and snow were at their peak, and the horrible weather of the big smoke cannons was like a downward spiral for her and Xiaoyu. Until she stopped in this village, she felt fresh and happy when she went to cut holes in the frozen river to fish under the guidance of her new friends, or sat on wooden boards and skated on the ice, and every day she could have snowball fights with more than a dozen people of her age. So when Xiaoyu said she wanted to go to Liaobei, she was not happy, and then Xiaoyu did not urge. Over time, she and Xiaoyu became quite like native Liaodong people, Xiaoyu would carry a bow and arrow and follow the adults in the village to go hunting, and began to raise young eagles under the tutelage of the old hunters, and she no longer wondered why the windowpaper was glued on the outside here, why every family had large and small jars of pickles, and why the adults would say that if they disobeyed, they would be hanged in the basket when they were teaching the children a lesson. Today, Xiaoyu is helping a family in the village to cut the kind of plant that is more than half a zhang high, locally known as goat grass, used to build houses, of course, is not the grass that the goat eats, and its pole is hollow, similar to the bamboo in her hometown. She quietly squatted next to her, looking at the appearance of less than carrying a knife to cut grass poles, felt quite handsome. She remembered that the day before Grandpa Gao left Wudi City, he chatted with her privately, talking about a lot of people, many of whom she didn’t remember, only when it came to Xiaoyu, she was particularly attentive, so she remembered clearly, Grandpa Gao said that the world’s swordsmen, so-and-so had the best chance, whoever had the best innate roots, but Xiaoyu’s qualification for practicing the sword was the best, there was no one.
She squatted on the ground, thinking of that Grandpa Gao, suddenly a little sad. She actually knew that his surname was Wang, but he grew so tall that she liked to call him Grandpa Gao, and he was never upset.
Then she remembered another person.
That person called her Green Robe Child before he died.
Xiaoyu said that person was very remarkable, all the while making Grandpa Gao admire him for most of his life.
She suddenly opened her mouth and asked, “Xiaoyu, Grandpa Gao asked you to look for that person, sort of asking you to take on the apprentice on his behalf, but how are we going to find him?”
Yu Xinlang turned his head and smiled, “We can always find it.”
She gave an oh, shouted I’m going to play ah, got up and ran out of sight in a puff of smoke.
Just like this little girl’s own brother, Yu Xinlang will smile, always afraid that she will find the trip to the two Liao boring, now it seems to be too much to worry about. The only trouble is that this girl and many local children have learned a number of dialects and colloquialisms, such as what you piao ah, what roll calf, what far point deleted, think about it let some of Yu Xinlang can not help but cold sweat.
As for that still do not know in which nook of the “little brother”, that in a sense is the master’s closed disciple, now Yu Xinlang is not in a hurry, he firmly believe that the time to find the natural will meet, this is a kind of wonderful intuition.
Yu Xinlang has the patience to wait.
There is only one Wang Xianzhi, and even more so, there is only one Li Chungang.
In the dusk, Yu Xinlang helped the villagers busy work, back to the house in front of the borrowed house, the owner of the house has prepared dinner, Yu Xinlang but do not know where that girl crazy play, so I had to learn from the villagers like how to yell a voice, soon from the side of the river came the sound of an answer, she quickly ran back, carrying the hem of the skirt lightly over the threshold, to see Xiaoyu and that the family has been sitting in the adobe kang, because of the wait for her did not move the chopsticks! , she made a face at Xiaoyu, then apologetically sat beside Xiaoyu, and the helpless groom Yu reminded in a low voice, “There is no such thing as letting the host wait for the guests to eat.”
The middle-aged village woman was heartily fond of the girl in green, and quickly smiled, “It doesn’t matter.”
The middle-aged man with southern appearance poured a glass of wine for the groom, the man is actually a foreigner, the daughter-in-law is a local, his ancestry in East Vietnam, followed his grandfather’s father together with the migration of Jinzhou, but earlier than Hongjia north run, it is considered to be a blessing in disguise, fortunately escaped the smoke burned all over the central plains of the Spring and Autumn War, because Liaosi is away from the Yang’s Longxing land, Liaodong also stained quite a lot of light, although it is not comparable to the side of the western part of Liaosi to enjoy all kinds of privileges, but also to enjoy the imperial court. Although not as good as the western side of Liaoyang enjoying all kinds of preferential treatment from the imperial court, there is still a world of difference compared to the people of the heavily taxed Dongyue Road, and the world knows that there is a king with a different surname who was a “tiger out of the forest” in Jinzhou, plus the king of Lioyang who is sitting in the town of the two Liaozhongs is the King of Jiao Dong, Zhao Su, and Zhao Su has also treated the people of the territory quite kindly, and even though Northern Mang has been confronting Lioyang for a number of years, the flames of war haven’t spread to this place. Although North Mang Liyang has been in confrontation for many years, the flames of war have never spread to this place, so even middle-aged men have never seen a battlefield since they were young. The man’s family brought a large box of books with them when they were convicted of migrating north, and even though four generations were passed down, generation after generation, the father taught his son to read and write, and even did what many of the Central Plains’ scholarly clans couldn’t do, which was to be a continuous flow of books.
The reason why Yu Xinlang chose to live in this house was because he felt close to the middle-aged man’s aura of bookishness, which was extremely rare in the northern part of the country. When he heard Yu Xinlang said tomorrow will leave the village to Jinzhou City, less drinking friends of the man inevitably some regret, probably half a bowl of wine down, the amount of alcohol can not drink very good middle-aged man also did not have too much to talk about the taboo of the shallow, whispered and asked with a smile: “Yu old brother, is it to go to see the king of the northern Liang ancestral home? I tell you the truth ah, not much to see, one to ordinary people can not get close to, a feudal king’s residence of the guards staring, two to many people say is broken house two or three, rumor has it that a lot of people to go to Jinzhou City to join in the fun are happy to go and return home defeated.”
Yu Xinlang asked, “Many people go to Jinzhou?”
The man gulped down the rest of the small bowl of wine and laughed, “Yes, there are a lot of stories about this, we are only eighty miles away from Jinzhou, and when the village found something valuable, such as sable skins, fox skins, and so on, especially the old ginseng, which is nominally forbidden to be dug up privately by the government, it was all safely handed over to me, the ‘bookkeeper’, who can read and write a few words. The ‘bookkeeper’ goes to Jinzhou City to sell secretly, so I’m no stranger to Jinzhou City …….”
Although the woman was extremely favorable to both the groom and the little girl, when her man talked about the private sale of ginseng, she still secretly kicked him with her foot.
The man is not good to explicitly say his daughter-in-law is not, just as nothing happened, continued: “about that famous man butcher, even if the Jinzhou left more than twenty years, and people also died in the north of Liang, but that Jinzhou people so far said, is still a great deal of fun, the first ten years or so is the most lively, rumor has it that some with the man butcher has an undying grudge of the Central Plains luxury valves and broken households, do not dare to go to the north of Liang to take revenge, and then seek to avenge the death of the man butcher. They didn’t dare to go to Northern Liang to take revenge, but they thought of digging the ancestral tomb of Xu family, if not for the fact that our Jiaodong King has always been good friends with Ren Tu, I’m afraid that they would have suffered a disaster. In my opinion, our Jiaodong King is also to that man slaughtered the fish in the pond, otherwise to the king of his old man’s ability, it should not be now such a bleak scene, last time in the old brother you said that the king of Huainan Zhao Ying also died in battle, our king does not say that compared with the man slaughtered and Yanzhi King, but compared to that king of Huainan and the new King of Jing’an, is more than enough, is not it? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to sit in the position of Jiaodong King. Apart from Northern Liang, this is the only place where the feudal lords are facing the barbarians of Northern Mang, isn’t it? If the late emperor didn’t trust our prince’s ability, he wouldn’t dare to make such an arrangement.”
Yu Xinlang nodded, Liyang the late emperor placed the vassal king, that is the painstaking efforts, will Zhao Ying “captive” in the eyes of the Huainan Road, the ambitious Zhao Bing “sent” the southern border, so that the same father and mother of his own brother Zhao Yi jurisdiction of the entire world’s most productive Guangling Road The most unruly and untamable King Jing’an was placed in Xiangfan, Qingzhou, which was surrounded by enemies, and only Xu Snapdragon and Zhao Sui were placed in the northern border areas. The middle-aged man, who is not a scholar and never regarded himself as a scholar, unknowingly drank up two bowls of wine, and he was supposed to hold on to this amount of wine, but maybe it was because of the reason that he poured himself another bowl of wine, and his daughter-in-law couldn’t stop him, so he lifted up the bowl of wine, sniffed it, didn’t drink, and raised his head to look at the opposite side of the Yu Xinlang, with a little laxity in his eyes, and the middle-aged man, who was far away from the smoke and also from the temple, seemed to begin to talk to himself. Middle-aged man seems to start talking to himself, “The East Vietnam where my grandparents are from, was destroyed by the great general Gu Jiantang, probably not the handiwork of that human butcher, since my grandfather I have no ill feelings towards the human butcher, and I am no exception, I used to hear that Tai’an City is the place under the sky that scolds the human butcher the most fiercely, and then there is the Guangling Road, which is known as the ‘seed of reading, ten out of five or six ‘s Guangling Road, the next is there are countless celebrities style of Jiangnan, and now it is even the new Liang Wang also scolded together, as if the more scolding the official more big, which has a Ministry of Rites, heard that it is still the Northern Liang people …… Hey, so I would like to figure out one thing, since those who have already done the Li Yang court of the Since those people have already become officials of the Liyang court, many of them have not even seen Ren Tu and the new Liang King, and even the rise of their families is attributed to Ren Tu’s Horse Treading Spring and Autumn, then what is the point of cursing? Older brother Yu, you have seen a lot, look at your temperament, I think you are also well read in poetry and books, may be able to solve the confusion for old brother me?”
Yu Xinlang hesitated and laughed, “Raise the bowl to eat, put down the chopsticks to curse?”
The middle-aged man lamented, “Yes! A country without a hero is like a house without a pillar, and a man without a backbone.”
The man’s third bowl of wine drank a big mouthful of wine, then really drunk, in his own mother-in-law’s waiting to fall asleep, still murmuring, said that if the new Liang Wang can not defend the northwest, he is also to curse his mother, even the young feudal king’s old man to curse together. Middle-aged man’s daughter-in-law, nagging a really think they are a big official, these years to do that crop work also do not see you so attentive. The woman nagging to nagging, just look down at their own men that compared to the youth has been a lot of coarse face, she slightly tanned face can not help but emerge smile, thinking who let you so handsome it, when it was with a number of women only to snatch you, even if you crop work sloppy, it does not matter.
After hearing those words, Yu Xinlang fiercely sipped a bowl of wine, blandly said: “A country without heroes, how sad. A country that has heroes but doesn’t know how to honor them, how sad it is again.”
Yu Xinlang got off the bed and sat outside the house with the little girl on a small bench, he turned his head to look at her, who was holding her cheeks in a daze, and smiled, “Or else let’s go to another place to look for your Grandpa Gao’s disciple?”
The little girl twisted her head and rolled her eyes, “If you want to go to Northern Liang, just say so, I don’t really care.”
Yu Xinlang was a bit embarrassed, just wanted to say something, the little girl said in a serious manner, “Go go go, anyway, I also miss uncle Lou, this uncle Lou ah, still in our Wudi City at that time, do not know how to take care of themselves, he went out, I do not feel at ease!”
Yu Xinlang rubbed her little head and laughed, “Yes, yes, Uncle Lou, Uncle Gong, and your Auntie Lin, all of them are missing you.”
She panicked and stretched out her finger to shush, “You have to call out to Sister Lin! She’ll get angry if you call out to Aunt Lin.”
Yu Xinlang laughed, “No wonder Master said that you’re not afraid of heaven or earth, but only afraid of Lin Crow.”
The little girl suddenly sighs, and finally says to Yu Xinlang in a serious tone, “Xiaoyu, let’s say goodbye first, when we arrive in Beiliang, we won’t fight with others, and talk nicely, okay?”
Yu Xinlang pretended to be surprised, “Huh? Who was the one who said that if we can do it, we won’t quarrel with our mouths?”
The little girl lifted her chin, viciously said: “I have not said the second half of the sentence, when you should use your mouth to quarrel, you should have a good discussion, use your fists is not a hero.”
Yu Xin Lang narrowed his eyes and softly said, “In the future, if you walk in the jianghu, you can definitely become a heavenly warrior woman.”
The little girl nodded vigorously, then put her head on Yu Xinlang’s knee and said in a muffled voice, “Xiaoyu, I actually wanted to go to Beilang a long time ago, and wanted to go to the place where Grandpa Gao passed away to have a look.”
Yu Xinlang gently nodded his head without saying anything.
The little girl gently raised her head, the tear stains were still there, but she already had a smiling face, “Xiaoyu Xiaoyu, Beilang is in the northwest, then aren’t we going to drink the northwest wind every day then?”
Yu Xinlang smiled and said, “Yes, there is now everywhere is a sand field, maybe also eat a lot of sand.”
It is not easy to live in the capital as an official, even if it is by the current emperor as the first national player of the chess world after the saint Fan Chang, jumped to become a new nobleman of the Hanlin Academy, but inevitably there is also this feeling, the Fan family can be described as a scholarly family, just in Xiangzhou is not considered to be a luxury portal, he was summoned to the capital when he was just a lone north, did not carry a servant boy, on the body of the banknote is considered to be a seven to eight hundred taels, thought that even if the capital is broad, not, nor too shabby, but also not too shabby. Not too shabby, I did not want to be a real official in the capital, only to know the great expenses. Fan long after all, did not get the emperor gave the honor of the first, and is not a serious degree of scholarship origin, but also in the city of Tai’an did not have a seat master room division good to rely on, not to mention the fellow townspeople of the same year to support, but the Beijing officials, especially the Hanlin Academy Huangmen Lang and other noble status, residential care of a matching official system of authority, so Fan long after a bite of the Ministry of Public Works to rent an elderly return to the old residence, barely considered to be a Xuan has a nursery of flowers and trees, but this cost him a lot of money! The old minister’s face in the Huangmenlang to cut the meat to give the price, do other unusual officials, not to mention the two hundred, doubled, four hundred silver are ten thousand two hundred silver can not be taken. And Liyang court in the matter of official clothing is not a big package, in addition to a few sets of the Ministry of Rites quota of uniforms, the other need to be provided by the officials themselves, can be described as a wide variety of official clothing purchases is a large sum of money, Fan Chang after also serving in the Hanlin Academy for a period of time, only to know that some of the wealth is not very good way of the old Hanlin old board poor to the need to borrow the point of the uniforms, to add to the woes of Fan Chang as the city of Tai’an official field of the newest red, the newest red, the newest red. Numerous entertainment banquets and colleagues red and white wedding, but also let the young man alone spend money like running water, plus as Hanlin’s decent, the daily book of ink and paper needed, more such and such a doorway, fortunately, Fan Chang after going to the capital with twenty or so Feng plate engraved and printed rare books, Hanlin colleagues more book addicted to even if penniless to borrow money to buy a book of the old man, after receiving this gift! After receiving this gift, Fan Chang began to stand firm in the Hanlin Academy, and he also promised many scribes Beijing officials, will be in their hometowns to buy those locally engraved and printed so relatively inexpensive multi-volume large books, but also let Fan Chang gave a good impression, in fact, said that the purchase of the pretext, but from the family collection of the library in the cut, I believe that those who practiced half a lifetime of the public sector of the old oil in fact, also know, just the two sides do not say anything about it.
Beijing foreign officials live in the southeast area of the city, where the landscape is not bad, such as Fan Chang after this southern scholar into the capital, are to enter, so those who have achieved success and fame away from the sun prominent eunuchs, although you have to give the first inner city of the court pivotal value of the person, but also still more in this have a separate residence, but also to facilitate close to the water tower to promote the descendants of the city of Taian chanting gatherings, but also most of them are held in this place. From spring to summer, near the mango seeding, the old saying that spring fights for the day and summer fights for the time. All years is the time of the mango, a large number of literati in that Xinran Pavilion near the rally, interestingly, I do not know which family is so big, in the Xinran Pavilion South special more than twenty acres of the north is not easy to see the paddy fields for people to enjoy the summer season, every night, really listen to the sound of frogs a. This year, especially this year’s Xinran Pavilion rally. This year’s Xinran Pavilion rally is particularly interesting, I do not know whether the gang of old ministers have a tacit understanding, from the Central Secretary of the Order of Qi Yanglong to the door under the province of Tantan Weng, and then to the spring of the Yong Hui in the emergence of the right age of the Zhao Yin Maochun, etc., this year did not come together, but since Chen Wang, Yan Jiexi, Jin Lanting to Li Jifu, Gao Tingshu, Sun Yin and so on, the most prevalent of these statements of the city of Tai’an, “the young people! But from Chen Wang, Yan Jiexi, Jin Lanting to Li Jifu, Gao Tingshu, Sun Yin, etc., the most popular “young people” in Tai’an City, almost all of them attended the Xinran Pavilion Banquet, and of course, Fan Changhou, who had a good reputation, was among them.
This humanities gathering without a strict sense of the initiator, are just calling friends and shouting people with people, Xinran Ting is so unprecedented lively.
At that time, after Fan Chang and Qin Tianjian teenagers in front of the emperor and empress of a hand after the final six people stayed to the end, which Chen Wang and the scholar Li Jifu talk to each other, “uncle” Yan Chi set and Song Keli chatting, and he Fan Chang after the madman Sun Yin in the matter of the game is quite a good match. It is interesting that in the subsequent experience of the capital city bureaucracy, is also roughly according to the development of this trend, Li Jifu is often the guest of honor in the Chen House, and in the Hanlin Academy, Yan Ji Ji set and the Song family Phoenix with the revision of the history of the book, it is said to be very get along with, after Fan Chang and Sun Yin is still not a confidant, but occasionally will also chat a chat about the situation. Today, Fan Chang Hou is to meet with Sun Yin first and then go to Xinran Pavilion together, in Tai’an City, many officials will laugh at the phrase “high-ranking officials riding a thin horse, with no show of wealth”, but suffered a relegation of Sun Yin is not, is still openly bought a high horse from the North Rang, every court meeting and on duty to and from the horse, extremely eye-catching, Fan Chang Hou is fortunate to ride today, and although still not confidant, but occasionally chat about the situation. Fan long after a fortunate ride today, and Sun Yin rode a horse, to the car like a dragon tourists like weaving near the Xinran Pavilion, Fan long after the roll off the horse, can not help but rub the buttocks, Sun Yin this guy is really in the city of Tai’an riding horse can ride out of the feeling of the desert whip, Fan long after the suffering, Sun Yin saw Fan long after the woeful appearance, full of gloating.
With their successive feet to the Xinran Pavilion of an inconspicuous carriage, walked down two men wearing elegant green shirt, Fan long after seeing is the door under the province of the left loose ride standing counselor Chen Wang and the scholar Li Jifu, thought in accordance with the Sun Yin’s high temperament, up to slanting eyes on no longer take care of it, I did not expect that Sun Yin is actually pulling the initiative to walk up to the front, but also see the two of them, Li Jifu obviously did not expect Sun Yin will greet, hard to hide that in his eyes! Unbelievable, on the contrary, the entire Liyang dynasty in the official luck can be comparable to JinSanLang ChenShaoBao, not the slightest surprise look, to them warm smile: “Sun brother, Mr. YueTian, in advance, I still today is not drink, can only tea instead of wine, but Jifu has already made a good not to get drunk not to return the intention, you guys despite irrigation him is.”
Sun Yin coldly grunted, “So what if I drink tea, I will drink wine, one of us will drink a cup, as usual, we can make Lord Changsha go to urinate four, five, six or seven times.”
Chen Wang smiled bitterly and cupped his fists to beg for forgiveness, “Brother Sun, don’t bully fellow townsmen ah, I implore brother Sun to point the finger at Jifu, or else Mr. Yuetian would be fine.”
Fan Chang Hou smiled and said, “Lord Changsha, you can’t rely on your big official hat and just wreak havoc in front of your face, it’s detrimental to the court’s decency.”
Li Jifu looked at the speech without fear of the three, the depths of the heart some envy, although he and the side of this is both the royal relatives and important ministers of the dynasty’s ministers of the Lord of the many private get-togethers, but he never really let go of his hands, and every time the party home, and even have to turn over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again to think carefully, whether it is in a certain wording what is not appropriate and what is not polite. It is no wonder that Li Jifu suffers, everyone knows that as the first of the Emperor’s close ministers Chen Shaobao, in that small court to occupy a place, is just around the corner. And compared to the general Beijing officials, Li Jifu knows more reliable insider, away from the Yang court empty decades of the Central Book Province, in the Qiyanglong into the master, can be said to be a hundred years of work, in the province as the door under the left loose riding standing minister Chen Wang, although it is already a high official of the third grade, but it is very likely that within a year or two will be transferred to the Central Book Province, to serve as a so far has not yet been someone “sitting” the position of the Chinese book of the minister. The Chinese book minister post, three provinces and six ministries of the minister is not a lot, but the Chinese book minister is undoubtedly the most weighty one, not Hanlin not to get the beauty of the posthumous is the trend, but these rules can not control this Chen Shaobao, thirty years old at the beginning of the Chinese book minister, in the old Liyang dynasty of the martial disorder may not be shocking, but Li Jifu dare to say that this is a pile of no one will be able to come after the feat of the officialdom.
Zhao Yuling, Yin Maochun, and Jin Lanting were all eyeing the title of “chief minister”.
But Chen Wang was the only one who was so absent-minded and leisurely.
Perhaps many people present at the time did not expect, xiangfu two years of this Xinran Pavilion party, in the history of later generations left many popular affair.
Dong Ju Ran, a new talent in the calligraphy world who was praised by Tantan Weng himself as “Dong’s son has a ghost in his wrist, and seeing words is like a spring breeze”, wrote the ancient masterpiece “Xinran Pavilion”, and Huang Tsuen, a young painter who was promoted by Qiyanglong, got drunk and splashed out his ink and painted “Drunken Eights”, a painting which was hung by His Majesty in the imperial study on the very same day, after the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies, Mr. Jin Lanting, had personally opened the rice paper for him. In the imperial study, he drew the “Drunken Eight Immortals”, and the song “Chivalry in Beijing”, which spread through the capital almost overnight, was written by 64 people, including Sun Yin, Jin Lanting, Yan Chijie, Song Keli, Chen Wang, Fan Changhou, and Gao Tingshu, who all wrote this famous poem together.
Of course, on this day of Xinran Pavilion, how can there be only handsome and heroic people without moving rouge? The three flower queens of the capital, each with their own unique characteristics, have appeared on the stage, either dancing or singing, especially the woman who had once appeared on the rouge list, known as the voice and color of the double A Li Bai lion, the solo dance, which can be said to have amazed the four seats. What is even more amazing is that after that day, Li Baishi was completely lost in Tai’an City, disappearing with such determination as if she had never been in this world. Afterwards, some people according to her words at the banquet, guessed that because with an unknown name swordsman ranger mutual adoration, from now on the fairy couple free jianghu go.
No wind blowing rain, wind flow since the dispersal.
Banquet crowd until late at night before leaving one after another, Li Jifu has long been drunk unconscious, the highest official position is also the only one did not drink Chen Wang, would like to personally take Li Jifu to leave, only to be retained, really can not get out of the body, can only ask someone to send Li Jifu back, and that person is the hall of the Ministry of Rites Minister Jin Lanting, personally and Gao Tingshu help Li Jifu back to the carriage. Sun Yin left also late, but when the two came, went alone, as if no one else, full of alcohol, galloped wildly, shocked many of the capital’s big gateway to the WanYuXiaoNiang. Fan long after the crowd encouraged by Wu from the first and came to a “successive dispute”, the two sides of the wonderful hands, Wu from the first although lost the game but not lost the momentum, so that the observers called for a great deal of fun, after this battle, Wu from the first vaguely laid Fan long after a person under the status of the second from the Yang Weiqi. Yan Ji Ji and Song Ke Li and the gag Kong Wu Zhi fellow townspeople together to leave, “Xin Ran Pavilion”, “Drunken Eight Immortals” and “Chivalrous Walking in Beijing” this one text, one painting and one poem are handed over to the young Prince of Heaven relatives, he will be immediately sent to the palace.
The night is deep, the lights are still on, there are only ten people left in the Xinran Pavilion, the capital knows that Chen Wang, who never dips his toes in alcohol, stayed till the end, Fan Chang Hou and Wu Congxian have finished playing chess, the latter returned with a group of friends, the characters still staying in the pavilion are all the new nobles in the official circle of Tai’an City, and are willing to put down their cheeks to be close to Chen Wang, the senior official of the central government, but everyone is a scholar with poetry in his belly, even if he has had too much to drink, his casual demeanor is still very good, and he has been drinking too much. However, we are all readers with poetry and books in their stomachs, and even if we drink too much, our mannerisms are still not the least bit less literate, so they are not vulgar. And Chen Wang is not from the kind of characters who like to take the frame, and they are also harmonious, and finally, I do not know who is not yet finished, they spent some silver called in the party “walk the field” to earn money for a musician to sing the song of the woman, the woman holding a pipa, do not smear powder, although not what the national color, can be in the swaying of the lights, but also have a few points of The woman was holding a pipa, not powdered, but in the sway of the lights, there was also a little bit of Chu Chu moving meaning. She is obviously timid in today’s banquet business is cold, did not solicit any business, unlike other counterparts of the woman, although there is fatigue, but has long been the money bag bulging full of return, the woman, sitting in the pavilion outside a well-prepared small stools, playing the pipa before, quickly glanced at the pavilion before the crowd sitting on the bushes, more than ten people, mostly sitting on the steps of the bushes, the steps have a high and low, the highest place to sit side by side with two young Men, she can also guess since these people can appear in the Xinran pavilion, rather than with most of the scholar as far away from the pavilion, then it should be today’s banquet in the outskirts of the capital in the most status of the type of characters, is the great city of Tai’an really big, even if it is not today, and later is also sure to be. She had a moment of disorientation, she was curious about these young gentlemen waiting for the sound of their lute, if they wore official clothes, what kind of light?
One of the males who had hired her to sing, sitting low on the steps, smiled and softly reminded her, “Girl, it’s time to start your voice.”
Her pretty face flushed, slightly anxious and flustered, softly said: “Gongzi wait a moment, allow the slave girl to try the sound for a moment or two.”
Listening to the woman’s gently twisting the pipa strings, intentionally or unintentionally to be able to sit side by side with Chen Shaobao Fan Chang Hou smiled and said: “It is our Xiangzhou side of the typical Jiangzuo Wu family technique, the following out of the wheel is good, the sound is not too high, the section is not too fast, soothing and moderate, not than the north of the big bow full, but there is also a unique purpose, so the repertoire is also a lot of the Jiangnan style of the Wenban ditties. After drinking heavily, listening to such a song is indeed comfortable.”
Chen Wang nodded with a smile and said softly, “I didn’t know that the pipa was a drum in my hometown until I was in the capital. I was just a poor scholar, did not go to the border to study, to be ashamed, even if it is to want to be attached to elegance, only the life of the laughing stock, so for many years it is very sensible not too much to participate in the banquets and gatherings. Other people say that I am not good at raising hopes, that is really lifting me up.”
“The name of the lyric, Daughter Red, is about that Jiangnan water Jiangnan wine and that Jiangnan woman …….”
Then heard the woman’s voice clear before the song read white, Fan Chang after a eek, laughed: “Coincidence, is that daughter red wine, my hometown since ancient times there is this custom, the home of the birth of a daughter, will be buried in an altar of wine, drink wine when the day of the woman’s marriage. In addition to this, there is also Scholar’s Red, which is only taken out for banquets when the man in the family gets a merit …….”
Then Fan Chang Hou suddenly realized that Chen Wang seemed to be in a bit of a trance.
“One point of rice millet gas around the beam, two points of running water day slightly cool, is three points of apricot blossom fragrance. A spring thunder buried an altar, after eighteen years, daughter red, daughter smile, daughteriao, new wine into old wine, the little mother is waiting to wear red makeup ……”
After closing his eyes and quietly listening to the sound of the pipa and the woman’s singing Fan Chang, he finally sighed softly, it turned out that the ending of this tune, not as beautiful as the name of the wine.
The woman in the song, waited for many years, still could not wait for the far away son, and she did not put on the red makeup for other men, then died.
According to the custom, if the woman in the family has not been married and died young, that altar of daughter red wine will be called flower carving, also to take out and drink.
At the end of the song, it is said that the gentleman eventually returned home, and although he had already attained the Scholarship, he could only drink that altar of wine alone at the grave.
After Fan Chang Hou opened his eyes, this time he could no longer see anything strange on Chen Wang’s face.
The song ended and the people gradually dispersed.
There was no need for Fan Changhou to request, someone took the initiative to lend this Huangmenlang a steed, and when Fan Changhou mounted the horse, he inadvertently turned his head and saw Chen Wang standing outside the pavilion, seemingly speaking to the singing girl before walking towards the carriage.
Fan Changhou didn’t have the slightest idea of probing, with Chen Wang’s reputable character and Fan Changhou’s own knowledge of this Chen Shaobao, she definitely wouldn’t think that this Left Hidden Cavalry Standing Counselor would have the slightest intention of being frivolous.
Fan Chang Hou rode his horse slowly.
He was in the far reaches of the river, but now he is in the high reaches of the temple.
Master, now even that Sun Yin wants to be a good official, although I, Fan Chang Hou, can not play your game of Spring and Autumn, but I will try my best to play my own game of chess.
In the distance, Chen Wang boarded the carriage, and before getting on, he asked the woman holding the pipa, asking her if it would be better for the gentleman in the song to return late than not to return.
The woman was timid and did not know how to answer. Chen Wang was just a thoughtless remark, so he said goodbye and left.
Chen Wang leaned against the wall of the carriage.
Even when he married that Zhao’s golden branch, even if the old man is a country’s County Duke, he Chen Wang did not drink wine at the wedding banquet, which many of the Zhao room to participate in the wedding of the noble children, there are many cynical, but so many years have passed, he Chen Wang moved through the various ministries of the capital, and time and time again the fish jumped the Dragon Gate, not to mention those who do not have a climatic merit of the king’s grandchildren, that is, those high-powered County Kingdom of the Duke, but only dared to sit on an equal footing with him. Chen Wang is now on an equal footing with him.
Chen Wang actually carried back a small bottle of wine at this time today.
Just yesterday, he received a verbal covert spy report. The content was only four words, dead. Guilty.
Guilty is Northern Liang.
Has died.
Is just like that song from the daughter red waited until the flower carving, also failed to wait for the poor woman.
South of Jiangnan, yellow plum season rain.
In the north of the northwest, the reeds are full of flotsam and jetsam.
Chen Wang drank wine one sip at a time.
Noiselessly, he drank without stopping, and his tears flowed without stopping.
Chen Wang’s first thought at that time was to be angry at that young feudal king, angry at the whole of Northern Liang where he had long been unattached.
He did all these years, in addition to those silver, that know the grace, more because she is in Beiliang, he hoped that Beiliang stability, in the final analysis, just hope that she is stable. For this reason, he was not afraid to accompany the king as a tiger for so many years, not afraid of the treacherous clouds of the officialdom. This stoic to the extreme of the man, afraid of only afraid of their own will be in the sleep of talking in their sleep, shouting out that name.
But in the end, he who can contribute to the change of the world’s edition of the register with his own words, he who can persuade the emperor to increase his efforts to restrain the transportation of watercourses, has done nothing.
On the official road, under the night, in the carriage, there was a man who could potentially become the second Liyang Zhang Shoufu, like a child, bawling his eyes out.
If the first year of Xiangfu was a year that left Liyang Zhengtong stunned, yet still with a good plan, then the second year of Xiangfu was a year of stormy weather and a growing sense of unease.
In the late spring of this year, under the personal leadership of Cao Changqing, the rebels of Western Chu were so furious that the Qingzhou navy led by King Zhao Xun of Jing’an was unable to rescue them, and the Guangling navy of the feudal lord Zhao Yi was completely annihilated. This also directly leads to the Song Rasa in the Guangling Road land hard to win the balance of power pattern, in the water above the Guangling River easily broken. What is more worrying is as the most important reinforcements of the southern frontier strong army, in the battle force more inferior to the Guangling Qingzhou sailors had to avoid its front, only from the upper reaches of the Guangling River a few narrow ferry landing, and at the same time, the loss of all the sailor strength of the feudal lord Zhao Yi, the defeat is like a mountain, with Xie Xijian personally presided over the eastern front, echoing the West Chu naval division along the river, Zhao Yi remnants of the army can only be more and more hunkered down in the corner of the songasa The hands of the recapture of the territory, as a number of hands on. The battle on the river, pulling one hair affects the whole body, the army of Lu Shengxiang, the commander of the southern expedition, also had to stop the pace of the place to defend a few passes, in order to prevent the Xie Xiezhi Xiezhi in the West Chu waved north to take advantage of the situation to counterattack. This naturally makes the Liyang court originally expected north-south pincer attack east-west merging, until the capital of Western Chu will be surrounded by a good situation, into a fantasy.
Fortunately, at this time of national turmoil, there is still the Xinran Pavilion gathering in the capital, which means that the people’s heart is still stable, and there is also Chen Zhi Bao leading 10,000 elite troops out of Shu, as well as a series of beautiful victories in the eastern line of the two Liaozhuang and the northern border of Jizhou, where the Great Pillar State Gu Jiantang and the new general of Jizhou, Yuan Tingshan, both won a series of beautiful battles.
At midday, on the surface of the Guangling River, several large building ships that had recently been reflagged with the Jiang character, sailed against the current and did not stop at the river outside of the Western Chu capital, but continued to sail upwards along the river, these warships had all been captured from the hands of the Guangling King, Zhao Yi, in a battle on the river. Funny enough, these few building ships that were supposed to have exerted great power in that battle were all almost intact before they changed owners. In the center of a lofty building ship, a line of people standing against the rail, there are men with white sideburns and elegant green shirts topped the world, there is a young woman carrying a purple sword box of the absolute generation, and even more armor-clad military generals, one by one, the spirit and dignity, but also a group of courtiers from the capital temporarily boarded the ship to enjoy the scenery, laughing and talking. In this, there are two young men most notable, if you put aside their identity, one looks flat, temperament introverted, he simply because of the location of the eye-catching, he stood next to the green shirt middle-aged man, vaguely frowned, with the majority of the ship’s generals and civil ministers of the relaxed and cozy very different. The other young man is going to let a person sincerely light up, have to marvel that there is such a man in the world, white robes and jade belt, standing against the wind, really like a god such as immortal, enough to let the other people feel ashamed of themselves.
The bow of the most forward four people, respectively, is Cao Changqing, Jiang Nai, Xie Xijian, Song Maolin.
Now Xie Xijian’s reputation in the Liyang dynasty and the countryside is very great, even the people have heard that the Western Chu rebels have a remarkable genius general, almost like the Spring and Autumn Armor Ye Bai Kui’s posture.
As for Song Maolin, although in the Western Chu temple is a latecomer to the show, compared to the brilliant achievements of Xie Xijian, but no less important, the two men a literary and a martial arts, and known as the Chu double. Song Maolin because of outstanding appearance, as if the world banished people, coupled with outstanding literary talent, in addition to the Chu Twins, and with the Northwest King together with a “North Xu South Song” said. Song Maolin originally came from a powerful warlord, this is probably the real pride of heaven.
Frost at the temples more thick of the main heart of the western Chu Cao Changqing, suddenly turned his head to Xie Xijian whispered and laughed: “How, it is not easy to drive away a Song Kasa, the results of the east side of the Chen Zhi Bao to the Qingzhou naval division, the south side of the Wu Chongxuan, the north side of the Lu Shengxiang is also really in charge of the military power, think that the bad war has just begun?”
Xie Xijian softly said, “If General Kou was still around, it would be much better.”
Cao Changqing laughed casually, “Don t mind that guy, his temper is big …… well, his heart is not small.”
It seems that there is some taboo, Xie Xijian was silent.
Cao Changqing sighed, “Elder Master Sun said last year that Xichu dragged me Cao Changqing down, I would like to say to you now, it is I, Cao Changqing, who dragged you down as a student.”
Xie Xijian shook his head and said, “Sir, you can’t think like this, my disciple has been a citizen of Da Chu for generations, Da Chu gave birth to me, Xie Xijian, and I can also die for it.”
Cao Changqing suddenly laughed, “There is a young man really should know you, so that he knows what is called a scholar. That guy ah, back then to our readers of the resentment is not small, in the Jiangnan Road to see the Tongxi sword fairy Lu Baijie first face, asked ‘Mr. can sell me a few pounds of benevolence and morality’? As for after he met me, he was just as little kind.”
Xie Xijian wondered, “But I have seen all the initiatives of Northern Liang, in the territory of the great school, extremely good treatment to the scholars who go to Liang, the new King of Liang does not look like this kind of person ah.”
Cao Changqing laughed heartily, “Maybe it’s because when a man has a burden on his shoulders, he can no longer do as he pleases. No matter what, Xu Fengnian is indeed the most interesting young man I’ve seen in my life, not even one of them.”
Then Cao Changqing laughed out coldly to himself, mocking himself, “Even if he was praised by me, Cao Changqing, he, Xu Fengnian, would not feel half honored, right? After all, he is the number one Vassal King of Liyang who is in command of 300,000 iron cavalry, and at the same time, he is also a Grandmaster of martial arts who is ranked alongside me, Cao Guanzi. So I can only be considered sympathetic even if I say more good things? To be honest, when I first met that kid a few years ago, I couldn’t have imagined that it would be today’s situation… If I had known that I should have beaten him up back then, and now that I’m talking about it with you guys, I can also brag about it.”
Xie Xiyan was a bit saddened for no reason, although Mr. Xie has always been approachable, but he is not such a talkative elder.
Cao Changqing seemed to see what Xie Xijian was thinking, patted the young man on the shoulder and laughed: “Young people do young things, frivolous then frivolous, for the endowment of a new word strong sadness is also no harm. And the year and then go to do have to bear things, as for like me on the age, then we have to honestly serve the old, occasionally leaning on the old, as life is one of the few joys.”
Xie Xijian smiled a far-fetched smile.
The most winning Mr. Cao of Da Chu, would he also grow old?
Cao Changqing slightly lowered his voice and said, “That guest will secretly come by boat in the evening, you and Song Maolin will stay by my side then, there is no need for you to do anything.”
Xie Xijian asked worriedly, “Why would the contemporary Diffractive Sage Duke of a saintly family with an inheritance of more than 800 years want to meet with Mr. Diffractive Sage? The student can’t think of anything to say when things have come to this?”
Cao Changqing did not give an immediate answer.
Liu Songtao, who had become a Buddha at Rotten Mountain in the Western Region, had come to himself and was urging him to let go.
I thought that that Duke Diffractor should be similar.
The monarch and the public official decided to determine the life and death of a person with a single word, can be the place of righteousness, my generation of scholars full of passionate and generous to die, there is nothing to be afraid of.
But if someone can determine whether a person is a thousand years of fame and fortune or a thousand years of stench, will not be quiet heart to think about it?
Cao Changqing looked at the sky, murmured: “family and country have to put down when, can only put down. Jianghu is even more can be put down. But some, is want to put down can not put down just, even if I read more books know more reasoning, is also so ah.”
Xie Xijian traveled ten thousand miles.
If this life can one day with the Northern Liang iron horsemen in the battlefield in a square battle, although the death has no regrets.
But such an opportunity was not likely to arise.
Jiang Nai did not know when he had walked to a secluded place and looked at the water waves rolling on the river alone.
Song Maolin hesitated for a moment, but still came to her side and softly said, “Princess.”
Jiang Nai, who had her back turned to this exiled immortal, did not make the slightest movement, apparently wanting to pretend she did not hear, so that Song Maolin himself would be wise enough to disperse.
Song Maolin smiled bitterly and said, “Princess, I’ll only say one thing, I’ll leave when I’m done.”
Jiang Nai could only turn her head and blandly said, “You say.”
Song Maolin’s voice was warm and mellow, softly said, “The micro-chen can also guess where the princess went to meet someone some time ago, the micro-chen does not dare to have half a point of finger pointing, I only hope to implore the princess not to be so adventurous in the future, there are many things in the world that should be borne by a man, there is no reason for a woman to help.”
Jiang Nai gave an oh-so-subtle cry, but unfortunately there was no more to follow.
Song Maolin smiled and took his leave.
Only the next moment Song Maolin felt a surge of surprise, the princess had actually called out his name.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and slowly turned around.
Jiang Nai smiled, “Someone asked me to take a message to you, he said that next time if he lets him see you, he will definitely beat you …… whoever and whoever.”
Jiang Nai felt that he had been quite generous, and replaced that two words of father and mother with the less hurtful whoever.
Song Maolin was struck by lightning and his face stiffened.
Poor exiled people.
In the North Mang and the two Liao border on a border line, an iron armor of the cavalry almost in the eyes of the border army sentries in Liyang, whistling past.
The leader of the army was the newest commander in chief of the eastern front of Beimang, a legendary figure who was somewhat similar to, but very different from, the Spring and Autumn relics that Hong Jia had run northward into Beimang. This old man, not in the South Dynasty roots, but in the North Court grasslands travel alone, with the Taiping order to travel away from Yang Jiangshan have the same wonder, although it is nearly half a hundred years old, but the armor old man is still not old, vaguely visible in his youth is certainly a beautiful man, no wonder in more than a decade of time, has always been affair constantly, even the North Mang Royal Court heard that there is an old man who do not know the details of, is very hooked up with three and a half. Even the royal court of Beimang heard that there was an old man who didn’t know what he was about, and that he had hooked up with a bunch of noblewomen, and when this guy suddenly became the commander of the eastern front, the whole Beimang suddenly realized that it was him!
Wang Sui!
With Ye Baikui, Xu Primrose and Gu Jiantang and known as the four great generals of the Spring and Autumn period, the youngest and the most flamboyant and uninhibited of the East Vietnam extra horse harnessed by the side of a team of the side of a team, unlike Ye Baikui, who won a hundred battles and lost only one defeat, unlike Xu Primrose, the human butcher, who became the ultimate winner but actually suffered a lot of defeats, and unlike Gu Jiantang, who was suspected of having a name that did not reflect the reality of the battlefield in which he was placed, Wang Sui was the true undefeated, the demise of the East Vietnam, which is attributed by all generations to the East Vietnam, and which is attributed to the East Vietnam. Wang Sui was truly undefeated on the battlefield, and Dong Yue’s demise was attributed to the self-destruction of Dong Yue’s court, which fell for Li Yang’s stratagem to remove Wang Sui’s title of commander-in-chief, and Wang Sui himself abdicated his throne in style and disappeared without a trace.
Wang Sui became the general in charge of another front in North Mang after Dong Zhuo, Yang Yuanzan and Liu Gui, and unlike the three who have their own troops, Wang Sui was alone and casually rode an old horse to the border to take up his post. In the easternmost front of North Mang where the mountains are full of hills, Wang Sui did not promote anyone and banish anyone, nor did he hobnob with those big and small heads of the army, he was just like an outsider who went to watch the show, and he didn’t take care of anything, and did not interfere with any military affairs. All military affairs are not involved in not interfere, you love what you do, that Wang Sui every day is squinting eyes bent over back hands in the various armies blind wandering, which makes the original or apprehensive or full of grievances of the old forces are dumbfounded, and then those North Mang military head instead of anxious, your mother’s all day long so inactive, when His Majesty misunderstood is our partnership to crowd out your last name of Wang, our group of big old man suffered a big aggrievement, who to look for, and who to find? Who are we going to blame for this? So some people suggested, let this Wang Sui come to the border parade, at least let him taste as the number one person in the eastern army, as compensation for this old man’s understanding of the times.
So this is the scene of today’s North Mang eastern line of military generals, but many North Mang border army veterans and the age of ten thousand captains, squinting at the guy not far away from being surrounded, the corner of the mouth are some cold smile, you Wang Sui’s mighty face is also a flower show.
At least the flower frame is also a frame, Wang Sui side in addition to the forces of all parties to put together a haphazard pro-guard elite cavalry, but also the autumn press bowl big as the person room Wei and winter press bowl Wang Jing Chong as well as four or five young strong ten thousand chiefs of the personal entourage.
North Mang east line called 300,000 troops, in fact, full counting is only 200,000 out of the head, Wanfu chief has 23 people, on top of this there are two compared to Liu Gui Yang Yuanzan and others to be less famous North Mang generals, this is also no way of doing things, in the southern dynasty there is the northern Liang iron horse can be distant, and from time to time, can also fight a few hard wars big wars, can be in the cloudy east line, can only be with the Jiaodong King Zhao Suo and Gu Jiantang successively! But on the eastern front, they could only confront with Jiaodong King Zhao Suo and Gu Jiantang successively, so there was no fart to earn. Now the situation is even worse, under the secret authorization of the Order of Taiping, the eastern front has only lost battles one after another, and the two great generals only feel that they have lost their old faces to Liyang.
Wang Sui suddenly stopped his horse, and the whole army could only stop their hooves.
The large-scale cavalry army of 10,000 people suddenly went from rapid advancement to complete standstill in almost an instant, which made Wang Sui, who was sitting high on the back of his horse and looking around, let out a slurping sound, but that kind of dangling oily appearance inevitably made people wonder whether this old man was really praising or not. During this period of time, many of the thousand commander who had seen the commander in chief not far away were puzzled, is this man really a top general of the Central Plains like the old Liang King of the People’s Slaughter? Is he really not a crook who came out from some small corner to make a living? Did His Majesty accidentally use the wrong person?
Wang Sui turned his head to look at the two young bowl, very smelly smilingly said: “Our soldiers of the Central Plains combat power, since the end of the Dafeng Dynasty on the decline, to the late Spring and Autumn Warfare, miserable to the North Han three steps when you ride the end of the miserable ah, really miserable, I say, fortunately Liyang got the Central Plains, otherwise it really will give you North Mang to take advantage of the chaos of the south of the reign of the world. And what about Liyang? Why did it work? Xu Snapdragon’s Xu family army can fight is one thing, but not the most important, but Xu Snapdragon and Xu family army’s existence, set an example for Liyang, so that when the generals understand one thing, oh, damn original war can be fought so ferociously, people can be so dead ah! If you don’t want to say that the Buddha fights for a burn incense and people fight for a breath of air, then the Liyang dynasty has emerged a large number of daring to fight and dare to die of young strong generals, there is no way, even if it can’t compare to that Xu Snapdragon, but also can’t be too much difference is not it? The two previous emperors of Liyang, not to mention other things, their eyes are not bad. I, Wang Sui, fought with Xu Snapdragon four times on the northern border of East Vietnam, and of course, I must have won all of them.”
Hearing this, a few Wanfu leaders in their prime subconsciously gulped, and when they viewed this old man again, they instantly felt that his stature was so tall and his aura was so strong.
The sunlight reflected on top of the old man’s cloaked iron armor, and for a moment it seemed to be piercing.
A figure who had defeated Xu Snapdragon ah! And he had won four matches in a row! In these ten or twenty years, which Great General of Northern Mang dared to claim to be equal to old King Liang? Great General Liu Gui was powerful enough, right, but that was only called half Xu Snapdragon by His Majesty!
Wang Sui said to himself, “Of course, at that time, I was all about fighting the few with the many, and the one with the greatest disparity in troop strength, I was fighting Xu Snapdragon’s 600 men with 4,000 men, and Xu Snapdragon died more than 500 deaths.”
Those ten thousand captains who had just developed admiration for this old man almost couldn’t help but jump off their horses and curse their mothers.
Just Wang Sui said slowly again, “If I remember correctly, those six hundred Jinzhou old pawns, nowadays the three old word battalions in Beiliang, the skeleton is built up by those six hundred people.”
The crowd was creeped out.
Wang Sui laughed, “the closest strength that time, is my Wang Sui three thousand men, Xu Snapdragon one thousand nine hundred people, I won a big victory, battle losses but six hundred people, Xu Snapdragon failed miserably, and once again broke the old capital, which is why that time ran to Liyang Ministry of the Army Yamen to wait hard in the rain.”
Not only those few Ten Thousand Husbandmen and the quietly approaching set of Thousand Husbandmen, but even the two Qiudong pressers were entranced and stirred up by what they heard.
Wang Sui asked himself, “Is it true that I, Wang Sui, use my army like a god? Among the generals of Spring and Autumn, I can probably be considered as such, but if you want to say that anyone thinks that Xu Snapdragon is useless, you are very wrong. Xu Snapdragon is the real deal. So what if he loses more battles? He can always win the last battle, that’s enough. If you’re a military general in the sand, don’t learn from Ye Baikui, you have to learn from Xu Snapdragon.”
Wang Sui looked around at the faces that were not too unfamiliar, and laughed softly, “An army that is not afraid of losing battles, and not afraid of death, as long as there is that soul, a tiger’s death is still not a fall frame, not to mention the army that is coalesced by thousands of armored soldiers?”
Wang Sui smiled, “I don’t know how many of you present are truly dead set on dying for that old woman. But I know that there are three hundred thousand border troops in Northern Liang who are truly willing to die for the successive two people, to die.”
Wang Sui’s eyes suddenly sharpened, “After I Wang Sui arrived at the Eastern Front, I have been waiting for death, that’s because I Wang Sui simply don’t look up to a Gu Jiantang, don’t look up to the two Liao defenses, I really want to fight with one of them, it’s the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry!”
Wang Sui suddenly asked in a deep voice, “Is there anyone who is willing to go and fight for this general to take down Jizhou, and then go to Youzhou to learn about Yan Wenluan’s foot soldiers?!”
The ten thousand captains looked at each other in dismay, wasn’t this an explicit slap in the face of King Dong Zhuo of the Southern Court? Isn’t this Lord Commander afraid of angering His Majesty and the Order of the Peace?
Wang Sui resumed that cynical demeanor and bristled, “It seems that no one is happy about it.”
If it was a simple and crude agitation, these military generals present who were able to become ten thousand captains in Shangwu Beimang would of course not be moved, much less a hot-blooded one who would run away from the eastern front to Jizhou as a result of the old man’s three words.
But things are far from being so simple, no matter how the Liyang dynasty and the countryside look at the Liangmang war, North Mang itself has actually been worried about a lot, are incredibly looking forward to someone in a certain battlefield to break the stalemate.
Winter Pressure Bowl Wang Jing Chong was the first to break the silence, and asked in a deep voice: “Dare to ask General, if someone asks for a pardon afterward?”
Wang Sui laughed coldly, “Ask for a damn crime! If you guys are still afraid, then I, Wang Sui, will put down my word here that I, Wang Sui, will bear all the consequences.”
Wang Sui laughed uncontrollably, “That said, you guys have no balls, it’s not hard to defeat Jizhou which has lost all of its elites, but can you really take on Yan Wenluan of Youzhou? I think it hangs in the balance!”
Wang Jing Chong laughed, “Then the last general will have eggs for once?”
Wang Sui narrowed his eyes and stared at this remnant of the Spring and Autumn Period who had left his homeland and native land at a young age, and slowly said, “This …… can really be there.”
Autumn press bowl big as the person room Wei also laughed: “In fact, the end of the general crotch that talk is not small, only it, usually do not see the water spirit pussy, lazy sharp, since today and the artichoke and the Youzhou, that can be to light up a weapon.”
Wang Sui did not pay attention to the two press bowl, “no need to hurry, give you half a decade time, the weighing of pros and cons on the good calculation, the and elders to discuss also hurry up, half a decade later, there is not happy to harbor in this eastern line, despite come to me. By the way, don’t forget to bring good wine with you, I know you have a lot of good stuff in your private stash. I know you have a lot of good stuff in your private stash. If you follow me, Wang Sui, and fight for your lives, give me a few jars of good wine to drink today, and I won’t dare to give you back a great general tomorrow, and it won’t be hard for everyone to be promoted to the next level.”
Wang Sui looked to the east and spat heavily.
Then this old man pivoted his horse and walked slowly.
He looked in the direction of the distant Northern Liang.
I’ve heard that you’ve eaten your fill and mixed with the jianghu, little jianghu? Let you one person against ten thousand people, so what? Compare to the sands of jingo and iron horses? Compare to the hundreds of thousands of iron armor everyone to die of generosity and heroism?
Xu Snapdragon’s son, how can you be so petty?
Xu Fengnian, your father was beaten up by me, Wang Sui, so if you’re really capable, come and settle the score with me.
If you lose, you’ll have to resign yourself to your fate.
If you can even win this, this world should all be yours, Xu Fengyen.
