Chapter 41: Sang Ye
As soon as Qiao San'er saw that Hou Ye obeyed his words, he returned excitedly: "Hou Ye, you forgot, a few years ago, a master passed by the door, and he told you that in ten years, if it rains on April 15 every year, it is best not to conquer, otherwise, you will be defeated!"
"April 15?" Hou Ye frowned.
"Hou Ye, do you have an impression?" Hou Ye looked up at the sky: "It seems, a little impression." Qiao San'er smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Master Hou, such a big thing is all for you and us, which is good for the Hou Mansion, and I have been helping you remember it for so many years." ”
"Master Qiao has a heart. Hou Ye turned around and said quietly.
"Yes, Master Hou, as long as this is useful information for you, I will help you pay attention to it. Qiao San'er, who was praised, couldn't help but make Liang Yong on the side roll his eyes.
Hou Ye thought for a while: "What else did he say that day?"
Qiao San'er couldn't think of it for a while: "This, this,"
"Lord Hou, the master also said that in the year of the leap month, you need to take the first stamen of the mangrove tree tip of the mountain, with rice wine and a drop of blood on your fingertips, seal the altar, and put it under your couch. After 7749 days, open the altar and drink it to keep you safe. Liang Yong said.
Hou Ye blinked: "This year, isn't it the year of the leap month?" Liang Yong nodded.
Qiao San'er felt that this Hou Ye asked carefully this time, and he was afraid that he was interested in this matter, so he accepted his intentions: "Or, I sent someone to find that Chu Rui?" Without waiting for Lord Hou to answer, Liang Yong's eyes on the side were horizontal: "Qiao Zhutang, where do you know more about this soldier, if you go to find it, I am afraid that you will have to lead the troops in person, so that you will be more loyal." ”
Qiao San'er looked at the ill-intentioned smile that Liang Yong had on his face, and knew that he was treating himself, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant: "I, you and I are both generals, how can you invite troops to be mobilized! Liang Qing really lifted me!"
This Qiao San'er is most afraid of being talked to, but fortunately, Hou Ye waved his hand: "That's it, don't say where to look for this season, even if there is, this so-called master's words, just listen to it." Qiao San'er was down on this table, but Hou Ye rejected the feng shui theory again, he swallowed his saliva stupidly, and didn't speak again.
After this Qiao San'er retreated, Liang Yong came to Hou Ye's side: "Hou Ye, do you have any plans for the next step?"
"I'm going to build a siege, and I'm going to say that there is a king. Do you know whether the one sitting on the chair in this city is a king or a bandit, and it is not yet known whether this enemy is an eagle or a fowl, and what is the plan?"
Liang Yong rolled his eyes: "Why don't we strike first?"
"Do you use my Houye's Mansion as a training ground?"
"The last will not dare, the last will not dare. Liang Yong hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and made repeated reparations.
"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth, this is what the ancients often said. What do you want to do so much?" said Liang Yong, and then he didn't say anything.
After Hou Ye paused for a long time, he suddenly raised his eyelids and looked at Liang Yong, who was still standing in place under the hall: "Do you have anything else?"
"Master Hou, my subordinates think that no one has come for a long time, why did such a person come before we were suddenly ready to attack the city? When you come, you will repair the city, and there are so many rampant people in these eight days so far, and the subordinates really don't know the reason for this. ”
Hou Ye smiled: "I found that you have been following me for a long time, why are you becoming more and more like a fool? What is the so-called people's will? Give them what they want, and they will naturally be at peace. ”
Liang Yong suddenly realized: "Hou Ye is shrewd!"
"Let's wait and see how much more movement can be made from this doorway. Since the name of the city has been changed, presumably, it still has its meaning. Don't say it, I'm really interested in this place now. However, the siege of the city will be put aside for the time being, and there is no hurry for such a moment. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. ”
"Yes, Lord Hou. After Liang Yong retreated, Ling Hougu got up and walked to the window to see the spark that was not very clear in the distance. Just as he said, this sudden Xiangmentai is, indeed, has several meanings.
A few days later, at noon, the city wall outside Xiangmentai was indeed completed. And the wall was built high, and it was on the edge.
Ling Hougu asked Duan Kun suspiciously, "This is the end of the matter?"
"Yes, Lord Hou. ”
"This is a city wall, there is not even a beacon tower, and the walls are covered with black mud. Ling Hougu muttered to himself.
Duan Kun did not answer.
Hou Ye paced back to the couch from the window, and his sleeves waved: "What else is the news?"
Duan Kun's face was embarrassed: "I haven't gotten any valuable news yet." ”
"Oh, I built a wall, and there was no movement?" Qiao San'er said exaggeratedly on the side.
"I'm afraid it's the next step, it's time to repair the door. Ling Hou Gu laughed and laughed, and when everyone saw that this Hou Ye could say this matter so easily, they also laughed.
"Disperse, it's useless to gather all of them here with me. Those who should practice martial arts, those who should train soldiers, don't slack off the time. "Everyone gave the order to retreat.
Except for the city wall that still towers in place, the others are still a mystery, the more so, the more no one dares to approach.
A day later.
"Master Hou, there is movement in this doorway. Duan Kun hurriedly came to report the news.
"Oh, it's not easy, it's not easy, let's hear it!" Ling Hou stroked the parrot's head twice with his hand, and turned back to sit on the couch.
"Master Hou, this gate platform, open the city gate tomorrow!"
"Open the city gate?" Ling Hougu leaned on the handrail on one side: "What is the big opening method?"
"All four doors are open!" Duan Kun said solemnly.
Ling Hougu narrowed his eyes: "Go on." ”
"Yes. And outsiders can enter, there is no order to enter the city!"
"Can someone come out of the city?" asked Duan Kun.
"Yes. But he seldom said anything about the things in the city, and he did not see anything unusual, but he said that they would open a new city tomorrow in Xiangmentai, and they would invite guests from all over the world to a banquet, and they wanted everyone to go!"
Ling Hougu stood up, his hands behind his back, and slowly paced back and forth in front of the couch. His brows furrowed, and he said to himself: "New king, open a new city, open four gates, and do not set an order to enter the city?"
"The subordinates also feel strange, this new king, doesn't he understand the marching habits of our realm, or does he think he can deal with this snooper who blends in with the people?" He raised his head and sighed lightly: "It's because I'm old, I can't keep up with this current thriving way of fighting." ”
"Master Hou is saying, this is going to fight?"
"I'm not sure. But intuitively, I'm afraid that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink. Ling Hougu craned his neck and looked into the distance.
"So, should we prepare?"
"There's no hurry. Since the new king will open the city tomorrow, the people in the city will have their own flow, and if they want to do it, they will not be scheduled at this moment. Therefore, we might as well take the opportunity to find out, anyway, idle, idle. Ling Hougu came to the parrot again, teasing the cute little one.
"What do you mean, go?"
"Why not? Not only to go, but to go personally. Help me prepare a generous gift, and tomorrow, we will meet the new owner of the door. ”
"There will be a new master! there will be a new master!" this parrot learned very quickly, and it made Hou Gu laugh out loud.
Following.
Ling Hougu deliberately dressed up to show respect for the new king.
When he was about to leave the city, Xiao Man behind him shouted in a loud voice: "Father, wait for us!"
Ling Hougu and everyone turned back together.
"Father, why don't you take me and Xue'er there too! It's hard to get out and get some air. You said that Cher has been here for so many days and has been wandering around this house. How embarrassing it is to spread this!" Xiao Man said coquettishly to Ling Hougu.
"Okay, okay, let's go!" Xiao Chuan heard the spirit.
"Don't mess around! Let's go to the other side to throw stones and ask for directions, you know what the hell is going on, you just let them go? What a surprise, how can you explain to General Twilight? Besides, Miss Twilight hasn't recovered from falling off her horse last time, and she just took the medicine from me yesterday. Duan Kun said to Xiao Chuan seriously.
"Xue'er?you, aren't you okay??I asked you a few times ago, didn't you say that you were okay?" Xiao Chuan asked nervously with a frown.
Xiao Song behind him also squeezed forward: "Yes, Tianxue, I saw you and Xiao Man playing shuttlecock in the yard yesterday." ”
As soon as she said this, Twilight Snow lowered her head and her face turned red~ on the ground.
Ling Hougu looked back at Duan Kun: "Take medicine again?" Duan Kun was also a little stunned when he heard this: "Ah, that's it, just go to the girl next to Miss Dusk." ”
Ling Hougu hurriedly approached Twilight Snow: "Xue'er, are you okay?"
Twilight Snow looked embarrassed and raised her head awkwardly, "Well, a little." But it doesn't matter Uncle Shaw. ”
Xiao Song stepped over: "Tianxue, what kind of shuttlecock are you kicking!
"Eh, who are you? Why do you blame me for everything! Yes, I asked Xue'er, and she said that she didn't have anything, so I said that I wanted to play in the yard for a while. I'm so good with Cher, if I knew she wasn't healed, I would have to stop her!"
Xiao Man craned his neck to look at the few people opposite.
Duan Kun raised his right hand and pointed at Linglan beside him: "No, Linglan, you went to me yesterday and said, didn't you also say that your young lady is quite serious? Duan Kun looked puzzled.
Twilight Snow held the sachet of snake grass in her hand, lowered her head deeper, and grabbed Linglan's hand tightly.
"Oh, no, General Duan, you may not have heard clearly. I said, I'll take some more in case Miss is serious. Because of lying, Linglan's tone was also very light.
Ling Hougu bowed slightly: "Xue'er, tell Uncle Xiao, is it really good?"
Twilight raised her eyes and nodded timidly.
Xiao Man dragged her over: "I'll tell you a few, don't want to ruin the friendship between me and Xue'er." Xiao Man said, while squinting at Xiao Chuan and Xiao Song in front of him: "Hmph~ You know what you can do to bully me!" Then he turned his head to look at Ling Hougu: "Father, father, you can take the two of us there, you see, Xue'er's body is all right, and she went to General Duan to get medicine is prevention!"
Xiao Man tugged at Ling Hougu's sleeve almost coquettishly, seeing that it didn't work, and hurriedly turned around and pulled up Twilight Tianxue's arm: "Xue'er, you move one to show them, come, move it! No, you can jump one!"
"Jump! You two hurry back! Even if Miss Twilight is fine, you two can't follow this situation today. It was Duan Kun who spoke.
Xiao Man muttered in a low voice: "I knew that this cold face would definitely not be allowed!"
Duan Kun held the sword in his hand and approached Xiao Man: "What do you call me?"
Xiao Man's eyes widened: "Huh, no, did you hear me?"
Twilight Tianxue on the side covered her mouth and smiled: "Xiao Man, I think what Brother Duan said makes sense." Otherwise, let's go back!"
Ling Hougu stared at the two girls: "Obedient, go back." Let's take a look today, if it's all right, it's not too late to come out again!"
Xiao Man pouted and glared at Duan Kun fiercely.
"Xue'er, Xue'er, if you and Xiao Man are bored, go to my room, I have a kite in my room that I tied a few days ago! Xiao Song stood behind Duan Kun and excitedly said about his handiwork at Twilight Tianxue.
As soon as the kite came out, Xiao Man came to the spirit: "Kite, this is okay! You still have this dry goods!" As he spoke, he turned around and pulled Twilight Snow and ran back.
Twilight Tianxue, who was being led by Xiao Man, had just run two steps, and then looked back at Duan Kun who was standing in place, just in time to meet the gaze of the over. Twilight Snow's face Teng~ turned red all of a sudden.
Watching the two girls go back, Ling Hougu immediately led everyone out of the city.
