"That son, rest early!"

"Hmm!"

Qingpu, Jiang Liu waited for Ruo Ao Ziyan to change clothes and wash, went to the bed to rest, and when he withdrew and closed the curtain, Qingpu saw Ruo Ao Ziyan supporting his forehead alone, leaning on the couch with his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was asleep or thinking about things.

"You said the war is over, what is Childe still thinking?"

Qingpu said in a whisper secretly.

"According to me, if it weren't for you today, Childe wouldn't have rested so early!"

Jiang Liu put his hands behind his head, "We should now cook cattle, slaughter sheep, wine and meat, feast the whole army to celebrate today's victory...... Hey, it's a pity......"

"Hmm!"

Qingpu wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at the son in the tent and nodded, "It's all my fault today." ”

At this time, the time has passed, and the new moon does not know when to climb the top of the northern mountain, quietly watching the lower realm, the entire Chu army camp, whether it is a soldier or a slave who has fought for a day, can finally lie down with peace of mind, sleep for a while, and dream of his home and country thousands of miles away.

However, in the entire Central Plains and even in Kyushu on this night, there are many people who are afraid that they will not be able to sleep peacefully like Ruo Ao Ziyan at this time.

From early morning to night, the cities of Zheng State within a radius of nearly 100 miles, Chengzhou Luoyi, and even Cai State, Chen State, and the southern border of Jin State gradually quieted down until this time.

"Why is there no sound?!"

In Yinggu, the Zi family, who was about to send a report to Zheng Gong, suddenly found that there was only a quiet weirdness left in his ears, and raised his head and asked.

"Doctor, the Chu army has withdrawn!"

The scouts sent went deep into the area where Chu and Jin were fighting, and did not turn back until it was determined that the Chu army had withdrawn ahead of schedule.

"What?

When the Zi family heard this, the wolf in his hand couldn't help but be stunned, the ink dripped down the silk silk, soaked in black, and said in surprise, "The situation of the Chu army is very good, why did you withdraw the troops in advance, shouldn't the style of the Chu horse be chased all the way through the Beibi Mountain, and Zhao Piercing was destroyed, and he was ashamed of his blood?"

"That's right!"

The sub-communist did not believe it either, and even ran to the battlements and looked towards the battlefield of the battle in the distance, but in the dark night, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen except the stars in the sky.

"In this battle, the Chu army is like a rainbow, and it is not under the line to take the Jin State directly. ”

"There is no reason to withdraw from the army, and the Jin Kingdom has been cheapened in vain. ”

"The subordinates waited on the side to investigate for a long time, but they didn't know the specific reason. The scout shook his head.

This is also the thing he wonders the most, Zhao Dun quits early without thinking about it, he can know what the reason is, but the Chu army has more battles and fewer battles, and he has the upper hand but retreats, it is unreasonable to think about it, unless there is something wrong within the Chu army.

But before Chu left, he vowed to come back.

It doesn't look like it.

Just when the Yinggu guards were talking about it, no one realized that the battle they were surprised about had completely broken the balance between the north and the south of the strong Jin and the weak Chu, and the hearts of the whole world were all moving towards the side of the Chu State at this time.

And if Ao Ziyan turned into the big hand that stirred up the entire Kyushu storm, after stirring the storm fiercely, he suddenly withdrew, and even left various speculations about this battle in the later official histories.

However, there is one thing that the whole world agrees on.

The momentum of Chu State's hegemony has been decided!

Xian Gaohou couldn't help frowning outside the door, although he was in the position of a phoenix, but the restoration of the Chu State was not a situation that he wanted to see.

Yinggu guarded the city, looking at him and asked in a low voice, "Noble man, the two doctors are busy, why don't you come back tomorrow to ask for a meeting." ”

"No, Xiangao has a heavy responsibility, and I am tired of reporting!"

After the words fell, the servant of the string high order handed over a bag of coins, and Da Yan took the weight of the pad, and smiled, "The big noble man is here later, and the small one will go in and report." ”

Soon, Xiangao was led in by Da Yan, but he didn't expect to see at a glance that it was actually his two old acquaintances in Xinzheng, "Brother Zigong, Brother Zi, why are you all here?"

"I just want to ask you, didn't you say that you went to Chu State to do business, why did you come back early now?" Zigong sat down and asked rhetorically.

"Then I don't need to ask, Brother Xian Gao is a well-known patriot in my Zheng business, dare to go to a dangerous place to reward the Qin army for me Zheng Guo to solve problems, this time my Zheng State was surrounded by the Jin State again, if he gets the news, even if he is thousands of miles away, how can he not rush back?"

The Zi family smiled and praised the high righteousness, and invited him in, and put on a banquet to warm him up.

Xian Gao smiled, "The two doctors praised Xian again!"

This is the duty of every Zheng person. ”

"Hehe, not every Zheng person will be like this. ”

Zheng Guo has always been in the land of four wars, if you want to say that Zheng people are loyal and righteous, this is the most unconvincing words, even Zheng Gong is still in the twilight of the Jin Dynasty, not to mention the people of Zheng Guo.

After the three of them continued to use the old one, Zigong stared at the few servants who were drumming behind Xian Gao with shining eyes, and couldn't help but move his index finger and asked, "Hehe...... Brother Xian, you have been doing business in Chu for a long time this time, can you bring back the most delicious puffer fish in Chudi?"

Xian Gao smiled, Su Zhizi had a good appetite, so he deliberately collected some delicacies on the way back to his liking, and the Zi family loves books, and he prepared a lot of classic works unique to Chudi.

Smiled and pointed to the baggage carried by the servant behind him, "Brother Zigong, don't worry, it's difficult to carry and preserve the pufferfish, so I can only bring you some other delicacies." And before the Zi family left last time, they asked me to collect Chu Jian. ”

After the words fell, he ordered someone to present gifts to the two, which was naturally praised by the two, and the three of them spoke more affectionately, and from time to time Xiangao told the two of them about what he had seen and heard in Chu.

And the Zi family is also curious about the Chu State, which has now defeated the Four Kingdoms, "Is there a building ship in this world that does not need to be pulled by manpower?"

"Yes, Gao has seen it with his own eyes in the Chu State. This ship is ten zhang high, more than 20 zhang long, can be said to be the largest ship in Kyushu today, even bigger than my Zheng Guo's treasure ship, can carry thousands of people, has four wings, no need for manpower to pull the fiber, can gallop the river. Xiangao's eyes lit up and said, "In this battle, if I, Zheng Guo, take the opportunity to return to the Chu State, before Gao Lin leaves, I will be promised by the Chu Tainu that as long as I, Zheng Guo, can block the Jin State from going south, I can give this treasure ship blueprint to my Zheng Guo." ”

"Really?"

"If the State of Chu can not attack our Zheng State, how can our Zheng State be the enemy of the State of Chu, with the presence of Chu horses, it is tantamount to self-destruction!"

……

At this time, after the Jin army cleaned up the battlefield outside Yinggu, it was afraid that the Chu army would rebel, so it escorted Ji Liuyu, who was seriously injured and in danger, overnight to cross the Beibi Mountain, cross the Luo River, and return to the Jin Kingdom.

However, the domestic situation in the Jin Kingdom was even more dangerous than Zhao Dun's description in his heart, it was late at night, no one in the entire Zhuangzi was asleep, and the scout messengers went in and out one after another, some went to Quwo, some were sent to Zhao Chuan, and some were rushed here from Jiaodi overnight.

"Brother Piercing, how can you come back?"

This is the twelfth time that Zhao Dun has asked the messenger who came in.

Finally heard a voice, "Back to Zhengqing, Handan Jun has led the army back to the Jin Kingdom, and it will arrive in a few days!"

"Good!"

The middle-aged man sitting at the top of the table said.

All the people of the Zhao clan were overjoyed when they heard this, and when Zhao wore it back, everything could be turned around.

……

Chengzhou Luoyi, Wang Sunman stood on the top of the mountain, saw that the whole world was gradually quieting down, only the shallow sound of the night breeze was left, and looked at the direction of the Jin Kingdom in the north and smiled, "When the Jin Kingdom encounters an opponent like Ruo Ao Ziyan who takes ten steps in one step, he can escape ......quickly."

After the words fell, he got up and ordered, "Xiao Xun, take these!"

"Oh!"

It was already past the time, Xiao Xun, who was about to fall asleep on the stone pavilion on the side, wiped his face when he heard the sound, and looked up to see that the moon was in the middle of the sky, so he hurriedly packed up and urged, "Wang Sun, then let's hurry back to the house, the old lady must be in a hurry." ”

"No, let's go to the city and have another walk. ”

Wang Sunman thought for a moment.

"Everyone went home and slept in the middle of the night, how can there be anyone?"

"Huh...... Not necessarily tonight, maybe it's lively. When the words fell, Wang Sunman compared the empty sleeve bag and said to himself, "I don't know if my sleeve bag can hold a thousand gold ......."

……

In the royal city of Luoyi, at this time, it is like the New Year's Festival, the major tea houses and liquor shops and gambling houses are lit up all night, and there are scouts beating horses all the time, reporting the situation of the battle between Chu and Jin at the fastest speed, and whenever a scout comes out of the palace, someone comes forward to inquire about the latest battle situation.

Mr. Storyteller sat in front of the hall with the lamp in his hand all night, and his eyebrows flew to the people of Cheng Zhou outside the hall, his mouth was dry, and his steps and sleeves seemed to be a confrontation between the two armies, and the two heroes of the north and south fought swords across Kyushu.

"It is said that the Chu army killed the Quartet in this battle, and was invincible, and fought in the four countries, only to meet the bank of Luoshui, the prince of the Jin Dynasty...... Speaking of which, the magistrates must ask which of the two future overlords of the north and south is better?"

"Speak quickly!"

The people inside and outside the hall looked forward to it, and some of them thought they were smart, "Since Gongzi Jin retreated from the Chu army with the strength of one person, it should be Gongzi Jin who is stronger!"

"The end of the Chu and Jin War, the world has changed a lot, and the Jin Gongzi, who was once hostage in my Great Zhou, is afraid that the golden scales will meet the dragon of the wind and clouds, and the future will not be small. ”

"No!

The storyteller shook his head.

"The victory of force is not called victory, but the victory of people's hearts is called victory. ”

"Since you all said that Gongzi Jin retreated from the Chu army, do you think that the Chu army lost this battle like the Battle of Chengpu?"

"How could the State of Chu lose?"

"That is, with one country winning four countries in a row, forcing Zhao Chuan to drop the sentence "Chu State is about to die", such a Chu army can be called lost, what are the other four countries?" someone stood up and said loudly.

So the answer is self-explanatory. ”

The storyteller was shocked when he heard this, and his words changed, "But whether it is these two people or the two countries, the superiority between them is not the most important. ”

"What's that?"

The audience asked.

The storyteller smiled when he heard this, and spit out four words, "The general trend of the world!"

Mantang sighed when he heard this, "This is still used to say that the momentum of the Chu State's hegemony has been decided, and three-year-old children know it." ”

"That's not right!"

The storyteller shook his head.

"In the future, the world is not strong and weak, so what is it?" asked the full hall in disbelief.

"Wang is not a king, Hou is not a marquis, thousands of horses are chasing the north! Hou is not a marquis, ministers are not ministers, princes and marquis are ......"

"What do you mean?"

Some people were puzzled.

"If the Ao clan of this Chu country, the Zhao clan of this Jin country will definitely become the largest magnate among these thousands of clans, and the prince will win the victory!"

"And I'm the son of Zhou...... Don't talk about it. ”

When Mr. Storyteller said this, he took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, packed up his money and drifted away, leaving only the legend of "The Battle of Chu, Jin and Zhengdi for Hegemony" that everyone was vying to sing for a long time.

"The Son of Heaven is not as good as the prince, and the prince is not as good as the clan, he really hit the nail on the head. I didn't expect that there would be such a person in the market for a week!"

Wang Sunman, who was standing outside the hall, clapped his hands and sighed, and then beckoned, "Okay, everyone is gone, we still have to go to collect the money, it's late, I'm afraid the gambling house is going to close!"

……

"Let's go, little marquis, the inn is already ready!"

From the private room in the back hall, a group of entourages escorted a young man out one after another, and met Wang Sunman, who was about to leave outside the hall.

Wang Sunman looked at the young nobleman of the Chu State in front of him, who was equipped with the fire phoenix and jade of the Chu State, and his appearance was extraordinary, and said with a smile, "Looking at the dress of this prince, it seems that he is from the Chu State?"

Wang Sunman didn't know Zhao Ming.

But Zhao Ming had seen him at the field hunting conference.

Zhao Ming chuckled lightly when he heard this, "No, I want to return to Chu from the Qin State, and I came to see and understand this Luoyi Royal City through this Luoyi Royal City." ”

"How's it going?"

Wang Sunman squinted and smiled at each other.

"The Zhou Dynasty is really full of weather, based on the center of the world, majestic and majestic, but unfortunately today's Cheng Zhou is no longer the Zhou Dynasty when King Wu of Zhou was alive. ”

Xiao Xun said angrily when he heard this, "My Zhou Dynasty is the Heavenly Dynasty, rich in Kyushu, how can I be compared with Chen Wei!"

"Hehe, then you might as well ask Chen Guowei, what do they think?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Ming said goodbye and left.

Xiao Xun couldn't help but be annoyed, but Wang Sunman said, "What he said is the truth, and no matter how angry you are, you can't change the world's opinion of me Cheng Zhou, unless we are really strong." The words fell, and Wang Sunman, who was walking in the dark night alley, had a pair of triangular eyes that were extremely deep, and a sharp edge flashed.

……

This night, he couldn't sleep in the entire Central Plains, and Yu Ruo Ao Ziyan also tossed and turned.

Today can be said to be the most important day in his twenty-two years of life, and it is also the day that should be remembered the most, today he led the Chu army to finally fight the Jin army after nineteen years and fled without a fight.

But when the war ended, his father was not around, Huang'er was not around, and even the little guy who was about to be born was not there......

Facing the empty tent, Ruo Ziyan turned over and over, and finally couldn't help but sit up, brushing the black hair scattered in front of his forehead with some uncalmness, and said secretly, "If my father is here, he will definitely say that my heart is not ......good enough."

After a long time, he let out a sigh, "Why is Huang'er not around at this time...... I knew I should take her with me...... The big war was won, but everyone had something to say. ”

But apparently, he could only complain and complain.

Ruo Ao Ziyan shook his head, put on his clothes, and walked out of the big tent alone, at this time most of the soldiers had already fallen asleep, only a few were still patrolling, and on the side of the bonfire lit between the tents, there were people sitting in a group of threes and threes, and it seemed that they were just as excited as him when they thought of going back, so they couldn't sleep.

The four fields are vast, like sunspots.

Piles of bonfires are reflected in the distance into sparks, lining the entire heaven and earth in the vastness and distance, boundless.

For him at this time.

The sky is high and the sky is wide, the wings are full, and you can fly high.

Standing alone at the foot of this Beimang Mountain, deeply breathing the turbidity of the muddy soil and blood belonging to Kyushu, stepping on the land of the north under his feet, his heart could not be calm for a long time, and he was faintly agitated for more than ten years, just for today.

Qingpu and the storm, Jiang Liu saw him come out and stepped forward and said, "Childe, why are you up again?"

"Can't sleep. ”

This sentence "can't sleep" made Qingpu and them laugh too, and they couldn't sleep either.

Jiang Liu asked curiously, "Childe, will we really come back next year?"

"Needless to say!"

Qingpu looked at the river with disdain, which was always a slow beat.

The frightening wind also held the spear and couldn't help but look deeply at the northern sky twice, and when they went back, it would not be easy to see it again, this was the first time they went north, and they had to go back before they had gone to other countries.

"Let's go, let's go to the north of the mountain to have a look!"

Ruo Ao Ziyan said suddenly, and then the group took advantage of the night to go to the top of the Beibi Mountain.

Leaving Qingpu and them below, Ruo Ao Ziyan climbed a cliff on the top of the mountain alone, when the wind was independent, his long black hair like a waterfall was scattered on his shoulders, and he flew like a phoenix flag in the wind, and at this moment he looked down, and it seemed that the whole of Kyushu was in his eyes, under his feet.

To the west of him was Cheng Zhou.

The "center" of the whole of Kyushu.

And the Jin kingdom is to the north of him.

The "center" of the entire North.

No matter which one it is, it looks like it's just as small as a chicken at this time.

He seemed to be able to grasp the entire Cheng Zhou and Jin Kingdom firmly in the palm of his hand as long as he reached out slightly.

But in the end, he only caught a wisp of fresh wind, which passed through his five fingers, and he couldn't help but sigh, "If it weren't for Ji Liuyu getting in the way this time, I would definitely be able to catch Zhao Chuan." ”

"In the coming year, it will be easy to go north and take the Jin Kingdom directly. ”

I don't know when, there were a few footsteps behind me, and there was a "crackling" sound, and the sound of almost ghosts crying wolves was made one after another in the deep mountains and old forests, which frightened birds and beasts to run around.

"I said, junior brother, you can't sleep in the middle of the night, and you don't have to run to this kind of place, so I'm easy to find!"

"It's noisy!"

The rare silence was disturbed.

Ruo Ao Ziyan, who was standing alone on the top of the mountain left and right, couldn't help frowning, and looked back at the person who came and ran over with one foot and one foot shallow, breaking into the world that belonged to him.

Obviously, he can walk well, but every time he walks, he twists and twists, and there is no positive shape, and even makes all kinds of screams that make the beast scared away along the way.

Ruo Ziyan frowned deeply, and said in disgust, "You don't need good martial arts, you don't need to take a good road, and the dignified Prince Qi is not right!"

"I really don't know what you want to do in this life?"

Ruo Ziyan retracted his gaze in disgust, looked at the sky that was about to dawn, and let out an inexplicable snort.

"Hehe, in the dead of night, my junior brother can't sleep, what do you want to do?

"But, junior brother, it's autumn. ”

"It's not the right time. ”

Jiang Wuye squinted his smiling eyes and looked at the man with a calm face at this time, who had been relieved of the decisive aura of killing in the daytime, holding a statue of the two lords in his hand, but there seemed to be no drop of fine wine splashed out, and he was not afraid of his indifferent aura of idlers, and walked towards him quickly.

"Boom".

There were stones rolling down from the edge of the cliff.

Jiang Wuye swallowed his saliva, and cautiously looked at the mountains and forests under his feet, it was pitch black, and if he fell, he would either die or be disabled.

So he hurriedly took a few steps back on his toes, walked back to the crooked neck ancient tree on the edge of the cliff, a monkey hung a golden hook upside down, turned over the branch sensitively, leaned on the trunk leisurely, waved his legs and asked, "Senior brother, how does it feel to step on Kyushu today and chase the Central Plains?"

"It's okay!"

The corners of Ruo Ziyan's mouth turned up slightly.

"How?"

Jiang Wuye looked at the smile on his lips, held a statue in his hand, took out two golden jue from his clothes, and shook it at Ruo Ao Ziyan under the tree, "This wine is brewed by the first brewing master of my Qi country, and it has been buried in the Qi Palace Jixia Society for ten years, do you want senior brother to accompany you to discuss wine among the princes?"

"Otherwise, the autumn night will be long, and it will be unbearable to be alone!"

"You stole this wine, didn't you?"

"Does this prince still need to steal? The entire Qi country is mine, and this is the filial piety of the people below!"

One step away, Ruo Ziyan whispered leisurely, then stretched out his hand, snatched the Xiaozun and Jin Jue in his hand like a naan, looked at the Xiaozun in his hand and praised, "Good baby, this good thing for Yin Shang Wuding and women in the previous dynasty has also been obtained by you." ”

When the words fell, he unveiled the golden honor, the aroma of wine overflowed, and a statue poured the wine into the mouth, dripping with joy.

"Good wine!"

"The wine is good, people can go!"

A bright moon in the sky quietly sank from the middle of the sky, and the tall man sitting cross-legged on the branch of the tree, like a child, his clear and carefree eyes rose a little hazy.

Jiang Wuye looked down at the young man under the tree until he drank most of the fine wine, and asked with a smile, "If I leave, then the junior brother will not cry as lonely as he did when he was a child......

"Am I going to be lonely?"

Ruo Ziyan looked up at him and asked rhetorically.

"It's cold in high places, and it's naturally lonely like snow!"

Jiang Wuye blinked and said leisurely.

"Beimang Mountain is also considered high?"

If Ao Ziyan has high sword eyebrows on one side, overlooking the mountain under his feet, he disdainfully.

Jiang Wuye nodded matter-of-factly, "Yes, Beimang Mountain is indeed not high, but it can be regarded as a famous mountain in the Central Plains of our Pingchuan, of course, I know that my junior brother will definitely learn from that Zhou Wuwang to climb Mount Tai and be small in the world!"

"Well, Tarzan has a chance to go and see it. ”

Ruo Ziyan nodded without hesitation when he heard this.

Mount Tai Feng Zen is the place that everyone who participates in the Kyushu hegemony is ultimately eager to reach, and he is naturally no exception.

When the words fell, he looked up at the sky of Kyushu, held Jin Zun in his hand, and returned a cup to Kyushu.

"This cup is for the whole of Kyushu. ”

"If I Ao Ziyan will come back!"

Lonely with him, innate, when others were still playing with mud, he already had someone to teach literacy, and the first two words he recognized were the word "Kyushu".

Therefore, whether it is lonely or Kyushu, it is like this glass of wine in his hand, sweet as pleasant.

The wine will be poured in, and the glass will not stop.

A song with Jun.

Please listen to me.

……

At the foot of Beimang Mountain, Qingpu, and the frightening wind They stayed far away at the foot of the mountain, stopped, and looked up at the man on the top of the mountain.

Jiang Liu was the only one who leaned on the trunk of the big tree and asked to himself, "You said that Gongzi is standing so high, will it be very lonely?"

"Huh!"

Qingpu let out an inexplicable laugh, "Loneliness doesn't belong to Childe. ”

"Then what belongs to Childe?" Jiang Liu looked at him.

"The whole world. ”

……
