The first time (below) Shi Nianyuan's soul pierced into another world, and Murong Lu was personally engaged

The dinner was held as scheduled, and to the great surprise of the officials of Cangyun County present, a white-shirted scribe was the main guest and occupied the main seat of the banquet hall.

After Shi Qinlian's solemn introduction, the old foxes who had been cultivating in the ups and downs of officialdom for many years were relieved, and they also found that General Dingyuan always deliberately suppressed Wuhou in small places such as wine table etiquette, and his words were even more insinuating.

After all, it was in Cangyun County, the fiefdom of Wuhou, and Murong Lu's behavior made the atmosphere at the main table of the banquet extremely dull, and General Dingyuan actually let the sword attendant participate in the banquet in an irregular manner, and he also sat at the second table of the main table.

Some Cangyun County officials who were even higher than Shi Qinlian had a higher grade than Murong Lu, who had no trace of disgust, and they didn't even owe the scene of a glass of wine. Naturally, there are also officials who have active hearts, although it is not good to kneel and lick directly in front of Wuhou and his colleagues, but after the banquet, I am afraid that there will be a secret letter and private appointment.

On the other table, the old god of wealth Mao was accepting the businessman Jia Qijing: "Mao is fortunate to be loved by the gentlemen, but the Wuhou Mansion has its own rules, and the generous gifts brought by the gentlemen Mao do not dare to accept it without authorization, so as not to dislike the adults." Why don't you replace it with grain, oil, rice and flour of the same value tomorrow and distribute it to the people in the south of the city, what do you think?"

The Tao is divided into two poles, yin and yang coexist, even if the rich and noble counties are located, there are also people who have difficulty in food and clothing. In the south of Liuye City, it is a poor resettlement land. After Mao Caishen made this proposal, the harvest was naturally a response from the businessmen such as "kindness" and "Wuhou loves the people like a son".

In fact, except for the strange atmosphere at the main table of the banquet, the rest of the places, whether it is Wuhou Mansion or Yulong Camp, are mostly happy and full of wine and food.

Jiang Taoyuan also set up a table of sumptuous meals, and sitting at the same table with the Marquise Zhu Xianlan was the first-class maid in the mansion who was responsible for serving the lady's daily life on weekdays.

In addition, Zhu Xianlan's left hand side was second, a shy young man dressed in martial slave clothes was not clean and tidy, his bare arms showed a healthy bronze complexion, and his sideburns on his forehead were dried with white stains.

Li Qingyun, who was still helping to take care of the banquet, was instructed by Zhu Xianlan to the big girl to hurriedly pull it from the back kitchen, because of the initial refusal, Li Qingyun was directly dragged by the big girl without disliking the charcoal black hand, which made Li Qingyun blush to the root of his ears, and proposed several times that he wanted to clean up first, but the big girl held her hand tightly and pouted softly under the refusal. At that time, feeling the soft touch coming from his hand, Li Qingyun was moved and shy, maybe he also had some unknown thoughts, and finally couldn't bear to break free.

Li Qingyun, who was sitting on pins and needles, was afraid that his dust would stain the red sandalwood carved chair under the seat, so he only put less than half of his butt on the chair, mostly relying on his legs to support the weight of his body, and he was worried that the smell of sweat on his body would smoke his wife and several sisters, so he tried to inhale and exhale in small breaths, thinking that he could inhale all the strange smells into his lungs in this way, and his face couldn't help but turn red.

Zhu Xianlan took a piece of fat and thin braised pork with chopsticks and put it in the boy's bowl, and Li Cripple's youngest son took a small bite more reserved than Huanghua's eldest daughter after thanking his wife, but this braised pork was not only well-selected, but also stewed deliciously, Li Qingyun finally resisted the desire to stuff the whole piece of braised pork into his mouth and chew it vigorously. The shy young man who couldn't hide his mood chewed on the delicious food that was not enjoyable and had a sad face, which made the four maids cover their mouths and chuckle.

Zhu Xianlan handed Shi Nianyuan in her arms to the big girl on her right hand and hugged her, and whispered "Little Lizi", and then stretched out her hand to straighten the messy collar for Li Qingyun, who was half-turned, and then wiped the filth on Li Qingyun's face with plain white sleeves, and finally pushed it back to the chair.

"Xiao Lizi, it's all a family, don't be so restrained, let go of eating. ”

The banquet gradually dispersed, and Li Cripple stood in front of the middle gate to see off the guests. Turning back, he prepared to continue to supervise his subordinates to clean up the mess and cups and plates. In the shadow of a titled pearl stone lion, a person walked out strangely, Li Cripple was startled, and by the light of the red lantern hanging high above the mansion door, he saw the familiar nocturnal black clothes in front of him, and then relaxed: "It's you." ”

"Your Excellency told you to go to the study. The man in black had a hoarse voice, and he couldn't tell his age.

Li lame nodded solemnly, dragging his lame leg towards the study as fast as he could.

Li Cripple walked into the study room of Wuhou Mansion where no one dared to approach without an adult's order, walked to the bookshelf familiarly, twisted an azure porcelain bottle, and the bookshelf slowly rotated in the sound of the machine, revealing a gap that one person could pass through, and Li Cripple leaned in.

The furnishings in the secret room are simple, on the front wall is a large geographical map of the Thunder Empire, in the middle of a low table, no stools, several display cases, and in the corner there are wine jars of different heights, short, fat and thin.

On the futon next to the table, there are two people sitting opposite each other, a candle on the table, a pot of wine, three cups, and someone on the floor next to him is lying unconscious, isn't it who is the silver-armored sword attendant?

The lame Li smacked hard at the sword attendant on the ground, and then saluted the two people sitting on the futon, a military salute.

"If you want to vomit, you can vomit. Murong Lu took a sip of the wine cup, chuckled and teased, his expression was much more sincere than that of Bai Ri.

Li Lime shook his head.

"Sit. Shi Qinlian pushed a futon, Li Cripple was not pretentious, because of his lame legs, after sitting down not easily, he shouted urgently that the adults couldn't help it, and hurriedly took the wine jug in Shi Qinlian's hand that was about to pour wine for himself, first poured it for Shi Qinlian and Murong Lu, and then poured a cup into his own cup.

Murong Lu handed out a familiar xuan to Li Cripple, on which were written the names of several officials that Li Cripple was familiar with.

"If you want to please me, you are destined to be flattering to the blind. Murong Lu chuckled softly.

After taking it, Li Cripple looked at it carefully, went through it a few times in his heart, confirmed that he remembered it, handed Shu Xuan to the fire candle and burned it to ashes, and then turned his head to look at his adult with inquiring eyes, and made a gesture of cutting off the marquis with his hands.

Shi Qinlian shook his head: "It's not that serious, the ups and downs of the sea are many, there are many who start well, there are few people who end well, there are many repeaters, there are few loyal and righteous people, there are many people who seek profit, and there are few people who keep their duties." I don't hate the talents who are good at seeking personal interests in the post, but they also make real achievements, nor do I hate the talents who strive for the top and are good at changing habitats, and I don't hate the talents who are honest and do their jobs, and do not stand in line with the party. ”

Li lame nodded yes.

Murong Lu took out a dark porcelain bottle from his arms, pushed it to Li Cripple's table, and then raised the wine glass towards Li Cripple, Li Cripple held the bottom with one hand and the other held the cup, the wall of the cup was three inches lower and Murong Lu met, the two of them drank it all, and Li Cripple put away the porcelain bottle: "Thank you, General." ”

"It still hurts badly on a rainy day?" Murong Lu pointed to Li's lame leg.

Li Cripple grinned, pinched the lame leg that was disabled because of the general Dingyuan in front of him, and still didn't feel anything: "That's it, compared to those brothers and brothers who threw their lives in Xilian Mountain, I am a cripple and a great fortune." ”

Li lame listened to the conversation between the two very carefully, some of them as a side wind, the left ear went in and out of the right ear, and some secretly wrote it down carefully, and did not forget to seize the opportunity to drink the old wine that his own adults treasured.

Murong Lu pointed to the silver-armored sword attendant who was paralyzed beside him, and then gestured to the ceiling: "Although it has a long relationship with that person, it is indeed an imperial uncle." ”

After a while, Murong Lu noticed that Li Cripple's eyes were full of essence and he wanted to speak, and said curiously: "Vice General Li, there is nothing wrong with saying it." ”

Li lame said with a smile: "General, lame, I am no longer an adult adjutant general." It is...... The book you talked about when you first arrived at school today, ahem...... Cripple I joined the army at the beginning of the original intention, that is, to eliminate harm for the people and uphold justice, such a vulgar and forbidden book, how can it be allowed to circulate! It is the so-called defeat of the enemy and the prophet of the enemy, so I want to find out what the lame man is, hehe......" Li lame man rubbed his hands together, his face full of excitement.

Unexpectedly, Murong Lu also showed a look of excitement about meeting a confidant, there were only three people sitting, and he was sneaky, and took out a scroll from his bag, the scroll was smaller than the size of ordinary books, and the small characters on it were as thin as a fly's head.

Murong Lu shrugged his eyebrows and handed it to Li Cripple, Li Cripple took it with a smile, flipped a few pages at will, and saw the accompanying picture, his eyes were full of wonder. Shi Qin kicked the lame Li with a lewd expression on his face a few times, and slammed it on the secret door: "I've taken the medicine, I've got the book, I've listened to what I should have listened to, and I'm not going to get out." ”

The lame Li who knew what he was talking about smirked and smirked, and while getting up and walking out, he took the secret door with his hand.

"It's a pity, the head is bright, brave and strategic, if not disabled, you can be a general. Murong Lu sighed lightly.

Shi Qinlian didn't say anything, poured two glasses of wine again, and said in a solemn tone: "You personally took a trip to Cangyun, not just to think of the full moon." ”

Murong Lu tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly: "The empire is ruled by the third generation, bordering Loulan in the north, barbarism in the south, Qiyi in the west, and Gaomi in the east. Today's children are suspicious by nature, stuck in steadiness, and do not want to be closed. The 100,000 mountain barbarian tribes in the south have a special governance strategy, not to mention for the time being, in the north and west, Minglei has been handed over to Loulan and Qiyi, and the border is the same as water and fire, in the east, Gao Mi has repeatedly shown goodwill to no avail, and gradually cut off contact with Minglei. The empire is now really like an isolated island, closed off from the rest of the country, and unable to communicate with each other in terms of economy and trade. Although the empire has a vast and fertile territory, and in recent years the wind and rain have been smooth, so the people can still be self-sufficient, but this peace and stability is always in turmoil, once the balance is broken, the empire will be besieged. ”

Shi Qinlian got up and walked to the geographical map of the empire, silent, his gaze wandering, and finally landed on the imperial capital Xuanyang.

Before dawn the next day, in Jiang Tao's courtyard, Murong Lu hugged Shi Nianyuan with a smile on his face. Shi Qinlian, Zhu Xianlan and his wife joined hands, since marrying Shi Qinlian, Zhu Xianlan, who had no close friends in the boudoir, handed out a pro-embroidered sachet and asked Murong Lu to transfer it to his wife, the old friend who was far away in Luoyuan County, Tang Manlan, the wife of the Dingyuan General's Mansion.

Murong Lu teased Shi Nianyuan in his arms, raised his head and looked at the white belly of the fish in the sky, the moon has not set, the sun is rising, it is already the time of parting.

Murong Lu took out a Hanqing Yin Yang Dragon and Phoenix Pattern Jade Pendant, divided it into two, and put half of the dragon pattern on Shi Nianyuan: "Xiao Nianyuan, good son-in-law." Born in a princely family, he has his own blessings and misfortunes. Now that the dark tide is turbulent and the times are turbulent, the process of your growth will be full of ups and downs, and you must be healthy and safe. ”

In the shadows, a shadow killer dressed in black at night said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, that sword servant has already walked towards Jiang Taoyuan. ”

Murong Lu returned Shi Nianyuan to Zhu Xianlan's arms, and said softly to Shi Qinlian and Zhu Xianlan: "This is a farewell, I don't know how many years of reunion, take care." ”

"Take care. Shi Qin stretched out his arm and clenched his fist, and Murong Lu smiled and punched a pair.

Murong Lu turned around and walked into the house, picked up an antique porcelain vase engraved with famous calligraphy and paintings in the house, and smashed it at the feet of Shi Qinlian Zhu Xianlan and his wife at the moment when the silver-armored sword attendant appeared outside the door, leaving a sentence of "I don't know how to lift" and did not look back, brushed his sleeves and left, and when he reached the door, General Dingyuan turned his back to Wuhou, raised his hand and drew out the sword of the sword, and the other hand picked up the tail of his clothes, and cut it off with a sword.

Not long after, a piece of gossip was very loud, it is said that the Wuhou Mansion of Cangyun County fed the horses and the people happened to see it, and made monstrous feats in the era of the first emperor, but because of the addition of officials and knights, the imperial twin stars who parted ways since then, the current Dingyuan general Murong Lu and Wuhou Shi Qinlian The contradiction intensified, and the robe was cut off.

A month later, a county order from Luoyuan County prohibiting the county's merchants from having any more dealings with the merchants of Cangyun County was confirmed on the side.

The gossip groom was now limping down the school grounds of the Fish Dragon Camp, followed by a shy teenager.

Liu Shan held the nine-section whip in his hand, struck at the empty place, and raised his eyes to look at Li Cripple: "Have you thought about it?"

Li Cripple looked back at his youngest son's firm eyes, turned around and nodded and said, "There is a bird under the step, standing up to the sky and the earth." 'Men should be cross-Wu hooks, and horses should step on twenty states'. ”

Liu Shan listened to his old comrades-in-arms whispering the poems written by his eldest son who died in the Western Xinjiang in the yellow sand desert, the scars on his face were sensational, and he looked at the seeping people, the man's eyes were red and he laughed, and then suddenly stopped, and shouted: "Li Qingyun!"

The young man straightened his head and stood upright like a gun: "Here!"

"Incorporated into the 10th Company of the Fish Dragon Battalion. ”

"Yes!"

At dusk, the figure grows up, and the soldiers of the Shizi Army's Fish and Dragon Battalion, who have completed a day's training, run to the small artificial lake and jump naked as usual, I don't know who it is, and suddenly sang a crooked song in the army with a lame out-of-tune but full of breath noise, one person sings, and everyone is harmonious.

Shizi Army, Shi Jialang, Shiqi Jiashi Bird is thick and long.

Stone soldiers, Shi generals, there will be a stone family burial after death.

Drink the blood of the enemy, open the enemy's chamber, and what does it matter if the horse leather shroud.

The first test died, the eldest brother died, and the widow returned to the stone wall.

A tall jujube red sweat and blood horse stepped on the hooves, and the armor of the armor was covered with sharp weapon scratches, and a scarlet spear was obliquely carried in his hand, and the blood groove on the blade was deep and long, hideous and terrifying.

The ride stopped abruptly by the lake, and the scar-faced captain who was making the new pawn rub his back in the lake stood up straight for a moment, and he couldn't control the swaying objects under his crotch, Liu Shan shouted: "Salute!"

The small lake is not large, and it cannot accommodate 3,000 armor soldiers.

At this time, whether it was the unarmored and shirtless soldiers by the lake, or the naked soldiers in the lake, they all stood upright, meticulously saluting the army, the scene should have been comical and absurd, but because of the ban on the order, there was a solemn atmosphere.

The armor turned over and dismounted, stuck the famous gun "blood" upside down on the ground, took off the covering and armor on the body, and then took off the underwear, and was naked, revealing a scar of swords, guns, arrows and halberds.

How do you have to fight a hundred battles to reap this iron-blooded glory?

The corners of Wuhou's mouth were hooked, and he glanced at the three thousand stone-shaped soldiers from left to right, and laughed loudly.

"It's a fish or a dragon, Lao Tzu is waiting in the camp in Western Xinjiang!"

After that, put on clothes and armor, and go away.

It wasn't until there was no more smoke and dust in his sight that Liu Shan shouted "Finish the salute".

Because Wuhou has been stationed in the Western Xinjiang camp all the year round, the young new soldiers of the Yulong Battalion have not yet met him, and some young new soldiers have turned the old soldiers next to him with their elbows, and their eyes are full of admiration and respect: "Brother, which general is this in Western Xinjiang, a man should be like this! I must train hard, go to the front line of Western Xinjiang, and be his soldier!"

Liu Shan happened to hear this sentence, turned his head and smiled at the new pawn, the new pawn was creepy, and he laughed like this when Captain Liu took the whip on dog days.

Liu Shan took two steps forward in the water, and the new pawn forcibly resisted and did not retreat.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shan, who has always been irritable, patted his hand softly on the head of the young new pawn: "Boy, I want to be a soldier of Wuhou, I have ambitions, work hard, Lao Tzu is optimistic about you!"

The first time, it is over
