Chapter 010 Warm wine knocking bell and then view the scenery
White Fox face closed again, the front foot only stepped into the tide pavilion, the back foot this side of the lake is completely broken, not only that, the entire lake began to sway up, countless koi carp jumped out of the water, see fish Youwei trance.
The Shangyin Palace of Learning has a variety of lectures, only the theory of ghosts and gods is eliminated, but the treacherous spectacle in front of her, Yu Youwei did not believe that it was humanly possible, even Jiang Nai, who was used to seeing ten thousand carp rise to the sky, frowned tightly, unable to figure out the reason for it.
Xu Fengyen pondered for a while, cursed in a low voice, and threw in the cucumber that he had gnawed up to his ass.
Horseman old yellow hands sleeves inserted shaking trotted over, presumably to join in the fun.
This old servant’s status in the royal residence is relatively special, no relatives, but because for His Highness the Prince and the Second Sheriff for many years to raise horses, even the shady nature of Shen Dajiang see the old groom will slow down and nod, and no matter who he sees the old Huang is always the same naive, grinning, missing incisors, giggling.
Xu Fengnian greeted Old Huang and sat down, the lake had calmed down.
Let the subordinates to prepare a boat, bring ginger mud fish young Wei and old Huang together to the center of the lake to cook wine and enjoy the snow, the old Huang did not have much interest, in addition to feeding the horse is to steal a little wine, so the butt, the whole old face is a smile.
To the boat, the old yellow set up a stove, add dry wood at the right time, the wine is not yellow wine, but Lingzhou specialties of a kind of local wine, the King’s House outside of the village brewed a new wine, the wine floats on the surface of the slag does not look good, the color of a little green, as fine as the ants, by some people can not afford to buy a good wine in Lingzhou poor only called green ants wine, there is not too much to say, can be the big pillar of the State is good for this mouth.
Green ant wine is really famous, but due to the Northern Liang Wangfu two county princess ten years old, made “brother enjoy the snow” the first sentence “green ants new spirits wine, red clay small stove”, extremely Liangdi scholar said, and then widely circulated, by the capital of many talk about the celebrities amazed at the heavenly, and for a time, even up a wave of winter warm green ants of the trend.
Northern Liang King Xu Snapdragon’s second son Xu Fengnian Xu Longxiang, two daughters in the eldest daughter Xu Liphu, the second daughter Xu Weixiong, the second princess this name can not be half a bit of daughter gas, from childhood will be too smart, swordsmanship success, poetry is amazing, chest has a gully, sixteen years old to enter the Palace of the Shangyin schooling, and Han Guzi Xi Weiwei art, the only shortcoming is that the two princess stunning, but the appearance is mediocre, much less than the big princess and His Highness the Prince of that gesture of the splendor! The only thing that’s wrong with her is that the second princess is stunning, but her appearance is mediocre, far less colorful than the grand princess and His Highness the son.
Jiang Nai still doesn’t drink, because she hates green ant wine, hates everything related to that woman, the degree of hatred, second only to Xu Fenian.
Yu Youwei drank several bowls, and the rest was consumed by Xu Fengyen and Old Huang.
Listening to the tide pavilion side of the atmosphere as if the enemy is at war, clad in thick fox fur Dazhu Guo saw a line of people boarding the ship, raised his hand and waved, the king’s mansion, six or seven shadow masters slowly retreated, of which the five guarding the pavilion slaves out of the three.
Wine power went to his head, Xu Fengnian drunkenly pointed at Jiang Nai, then nodded at Yu Youwei, playfully said:
“You, and you, in fact, in the end there is no injustice, but make it impossible, kill me? Fine, Jiang Nai, take out your divine talisman and I’ll let you stab me. I want to see, is my body Wu Kui treasure armor strong, or your dagger sharp. Why don’t we make a bet, if you win, the result is of course needless to say, if I win, you give me a smile, Princess Taiping, how about it, is this deal a good deal?”
Jiang Nai finely narrowed her good-looking eyes and leapt to her feet.
Jiang’s name. Divine Symbol. Princess Taiping.
The mother had been the late emperor’s sword servant father was a scattered official of Western Chu fish young Wei’s hand shook, causing Wu Meiniang in her arms to let out a lazy yelp.
Xu Fengnian threw away the thousand gold fox white fur on his body, ripped open the inner lapel, revealing the navy blue treasure armor that he hadn’t been able to take off since returning from his travels, and opened up his chest, “Come, stab me.”
Jiang Nai was hesitating, waiting for an opportunity to move, like a young leopard.
Old Huang was not worried about seeing blood, the eldest young master those three years at first ate the loss of inexperience in the jianghu, more woeful, the later it came, the more treacherous it became.
In the end, she gave up the tantalizing opportunity and sneered: ”You would do a losing deal? I’d rather believe in ghosts than you.”
Xu Fengyen swished and quickly put on his fox white fur, and said, “Fortunately, fortunately, I was scared out of my wits, I really can’t drink too much of this wine. Old yellow, go to support the boat, we went back, from the ghost gate to pick up a life.”
Jiang Nai’s eyes were filled with chagrin.
Old Huang followed the young master and was happy.
On the shore, Jiang Nai left in anger.
Without wearing the sable fur that he sent to the courtyard, Yu Youwei handed her the fox white fur that was the only one of its kind on her body that was luxurious in the entire royal residence, and touched Wu Meiniang’s small head in passing, seemingly casually saying:
“You learned the Fengzhou accent to cover your ears, but in the Basho courtyard, a small test, let you reveal, on the boat, another half-true, half-false Princess Taiping of Xichu, then you hooked your fox tail, young Wei, you are really not suitable to be an assassin dead, in the future, be at ease to be a bird in a cage canary. Look, I didn’t lie to you, there is an extremely beautiful snow scene here.”
After saying this, Xu Fengyen shouted “wind is tight, pull hoo”, and ran away with his servant Lao Huang.
Clothed in a thousand gold fur fish young Wei stopped in place, the body can not distinguish between the fox white fur or the wind and snow.
…… Liyang Dynasty Qianyuan six years, lunar calendar 28, North Liang King Xu Snapdragon and his son Xu Fengyen left at dawn, in addition to Chen Zhi Bao and Chu Lushan is not in the ranks, the rest of the four sons of righteousness are accompanied by three hundred iron horsemen, voluminous to the territory of the Kunzhou Jiu Hua Mountain.
Although this mountain is the Bodhisattva’s dojo, but away from the Yang Dynasty has been revered Taoist suppression of Buddhism, and then Jiuhua Mountain is located in a remote area, there is no big temple big Buddha to worship, the most important thing is that over the years the big pillar country intentionally expulsion of idle believers, so that the Jiuhua Mountain appears to be particularly all alone.
At the top of the mountain there is a thousand Buddha Pavilion, the top of the building there are ten thousand big bells, here the bell is extremely elaborate, a day ringing one hundred and eight times, a time can not be more, a time can not be less, the morning bells and twilight bells, each time tightly eighteen times slow knock eighteen times, and then not tightly and not slow eighteen times, and so on, so repeated twice a day, a day a total of one hundred and eight, should be a year of December and seventy-two seasons and seventy-two climates, the Buddha symbolizes the elimination of the root of the troubles of one hundred and eight.
After the death of the princess, never had a concubine Xu Snapdragon even made up his mind not to marry again in this life, and every year Qingming, Chongyang and the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar Calendar will personally come to the top of the mountain thousands of Buddha Pavilion, and personally morning and evening twice to ring the bell.
Before entering the mountain gate, all of them dismounted tacitly, Xu Snapdragon and Xu Fengyen walked side by side, and the four righteous sons, Yuan Zuozong, Ye Xizhen, Yao Jian, and Qi Dangguo, dared not overstep the bounds of the rules.
Among the four, “Zuo Xiong” is a vanguard-type general who can take a general’s head in the middle of an army like a bag, his force is superb, and his marching and formation are also outstanding.
Ye Xizhen is a Confucian general who specializes in yang strategy and planning behind the scenes, the opposite of Luqiu’er, who likes to conspire with the side door.
Yao Jian is a Taoist side branch of the origin, skilled in searching for dragons and sand, always carry a torn “geography of the Green Bag Jing”, nothing to do like squatting on the ground and chewing to taste the soil. Qi Dangguo is the standard bearer of the Northern Liang Iron Horsemen’s Xu Zi Wang Banner.
As for the six sons of the first Chen Zhi Bao, known as the “little man butcher”, life achievements can be roughly a leaf to know the fall.
That night, the six people stayed at night at the top of the ancient temple, the lunar calendar 29 morning and evening of the Great Pillar State Xu Snapdragon ringing one hundred and eight times the bell. Before descending the mountain, at dusk, Xu Snap and Xu Fenian stood in the corridor of the Thousand Buddha Pavilion, and the Great Pillar State said softly, “When you perform your crown rite, you will be the one to ring the bells from now on.”
Xu Fenian nodded his head and hmmm’d.
The mountain wind rose at first, the sea of clouds drifted away in the twilight, the mountain ranges and mountains were like a fairy island in the sea, the mountain wind rose again, and the resurrection was hidden in the sea of clouds and waves, the weather was majestic. Occasionally, the sea of clouds will stir up more than ten mushroom-shaped thick cloud columns, rising up to the sky, slowly fall down and disperse, turning into wisps of wandering clouds, is a unique scene of Jiuhua Mountain.
Xu Snap reached out and pointed to that arcane scene from afar, saying:
“Very few people can be unchanged for decades of smooth sailing, ups and downs is the norm, the court that a foot has stepped into the coffin of the three dynasties are no exception. Your father this glory is countless times gambling bet out, so the most taboo people say that climb high fall heavy, for fear of falling down, even dragged a few of you can not get up. Do military generals, sealed different surnames king, is already the top, for the civil ministers, the great pillar state is also the ultimate, this monstrous honor, away from the sun dynasty for four hundred years, only a few.”
Father and son vision, the scene like the sea waves, like a snowball rolling on the ground.
The voice of the Great Pillar State is mellow and neutral, transmitting a green ant wine’s unique intensity.
“Here is just you and me, father and son, at most plus your mother in the sky, there is no outsider, I will say it straight, Li Yishan is right, it is easy to achieve success, but it is difficult to retreat from fame, I have already ridden the tiger.
Three years ago, the court intends to call you to the capital, his majesty even intends to the most favored twelve princesses give marriage to you, then you will have to go to the capital to do that empty name of the emperor’s side by the side of a team of horse harnessed by the side of a team of the emperor’s side, in fact, for the hostage, but I politely refused to let you go to travel for three years to hike 6,000 miles, only to seal the court’s mouth, but this is still a cure for the symptoms do not cure the root cause.
I am waiting, if His Majesty still refuses to give up, hum! Xu Snap was ten years old when he killed with a sword, and after forty years of military service, he hasn’t read a few moral essays, and when the time comes then it will be no wonder that Xu Snap is disloyal and unrighteous! King Xu’s 300,000 Northern Liang iron cavalry, who dares to fight head on?”
Xu Fengnian laughed bitterly, “Pops, I’m not interested in the Emperor’s throne. You’re old, don’t do that hard work of fighting the world for your son to be the emperor, how silly, I don’t see how it would be more comfortable than being the son of the world if I were to become one.”
Xu Snapdragon said angrily: “Then you are willing to go to be the emperor’s side by the side of a horse? And be a caged bird with that fish woman?”
Xu Fengnian blankly said, “Even if you rebel, you won’t be able to become an emperor. Liangdi has never had the feng shui to produce a dragon, how has there ever been a person who ruled the world?”
Xu Snap sighed, “Li Yishan said the same thing. If you were just a waste like Li Hanlin, father wouldn’t have cared, being an extra horse harnessed by the side of a team wouldn’t have mattered, being a parasite, at least under the roof of the palace.
Your second sister to go to the yin school palace before I said a word, a word, a family on the surface of the luxuriant vegetation blotting Run, weather grace, useless, most of the inner hollow, especially worried about the successor no one else, the more rich and powerful family, once the children and grandchildren generation is not as good as a generation, far more than the income is not enough to pay for the internal bag gradually exhausted to the horror of it.
So dad is not afraid of your spending, but Feng Nian, you gave dad a big problem na, you give dad a bottom, there is no idea in the future to hold the Northern Liang military symbol? At that time, your second sister will be the military advisor, Huang Ban Er will charge for you, together with father’s six righteous sons, even if father dies, 300,000 iron cavalry can’t be disorganized or scattered.”
Xu Fengnian asked rhetorically, “What do you think?”
Xu Snapdragon said, “Father is very old, it’s not easy for him to save up a big family business, you unfilial son should leave some thoughts for father, right?”
Xu Fengnian said boldly, “This is no problem. It’s not just about destroying the family, I’m good at it.”
Dazhu Guo’s hunchbacked waist, that moment, seems to quietly straighten up.
