Chapter 2 Prelude: Beauty is difficult, leading the tiger into the hall

For a long time, he mistakenly thought that Ge Shuhan was an old thief who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and his assassination in the middle of the night failed. www.biquge.info After learning that Ge Shuhan pretended to surrender and was actually preparing for the future of Zhongxing Datang, he decided to follow Ge Shuhan to serve the country together.

I slept for a long time, and when I woke up again, it was already evening.

After a long time, I pushed open the door of the guest room, and the sun was about to set. The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the eaves and creates a circle of crimson light on the tiles, which is very beautiful. There are some green bamboos planted in the courtyard of the guest room, and there are colorful flowers around it. At a glance, you can see that there are people taking care of it every day, and the soil is still moist.

For a long time, let him walk around in the courtyard, and if he wanted to move his muscles and bones, he punched and kicked in the courtyard. Not far away, a woman wearing a pale pink cloak, a pale pink scarf, and a white silk robe watched him at the door of the guest room.

However, for a long time, Jean did not find this woman. This woman is Ge Shuhan's adopted daughter, Ge Shu Bihua.

After a while, a doorman came up, saluted the woman, and said, "Miss, the lord asked me to call the guests to the banquet." ”

Hearing someone talking at the gate of the courtyard, he stopped for a long time. I saw a man and a woman standing at the gate of the courtyard.

Geshu Bihua saw that he was staring at him for a long time, so he turned his head and walked away. Mending walked in front of a long time to make a salute and said, "Childe, the master asked me to invite you to the banquet, please come with me!" ”

After a long time, he was led to the living room by Mending, and secretly guessed in his heart about the talented woman: "This girl is so beautiful, she must not be a descendant of Geshu Mansion, I don't know if I will have the opportunity to see her face again in the future?" Thinking of this, I can't help but secretly regret that I really shouldn't have missed it.

The living room was spacious and bright, with eight large tables arranged in an orderly manner, and seven or eight people were made on each table. On a large table closest to the living room, Geshuhan and his family sat together, chatting and laughing.

For a long time, Jean was brought to Goshuhan's table. Ge Shuhan hurriedly stood up, grabbed Jiu Jiurang's right arm, and introduced to the guests present: "Guests! This young man is the protagonist of our banquet today. This young man is not simple, he is a descendant of Xu Shouye, the general of the Dangkou during the period of Emperor Taizong! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion among the guests present, and there were a lot of voices of admiration: "If you are really a hero, you are a young man, and after a famous family, you have an extraordinary bearing." "Look at this young man like Lang Xing, he will definitely become a great weapon in the future!"

Ge Shuhan introduced his family to Xu Jiurang in turn, and arranged for him to eat on the left-hand side.

At the banquet, Ge Shuhan drank a lot of wine. While drinking, he sighed with emotion, boasting that An Lushan knew people and was good at his duties, and expressed his kindness to himself. In the depths of love, I can't help but cry. After a long time, I understood that all the people present were the demoted generals in the Pinglu area and the eyeliner of An Lushan. He thinks that if you say more, you will lose, or have fewer words.

The banquet didn't end until late. For a long time, I frequently parried the toasts of other guests, and I naturally drank a lot, and some of them were not clear-headed.

Seeing off the guests, Ge Shuhan beckoned Long Jean into the bedroom and gently slammed the door shut. The two sat at the table, and Ge Shuhan poured a glass of water and said, "Young man, you can see that you rarely participate in such occasions!" As he spoke, he handed over a glass of water.

"Thank you, Senior Geshu!" After a long time, Jean took the water cup and said, "Don't hide it from the old general, this is indeed the first time I have participated in this kind of banquet. I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. ”

Ge Shuhan nodded and said, "That's not a problem. Before the banquet, do you remember the people who toasted with you? ”

After a long time, Jean nodded and said, "Remember is remember, but I don't know my surname." ”

Ge Shuhan took a sip of water and said, "You don't need to remember the first name. Among them, most of them are the eyeliners arranged by An Lushan beside me. I said to the outside world, you are a descendant of Xu Shouye, who was persecuted by the Tang King and defected to the old man, and you are loyal to An Lushan with the old man. In this way, if you live with me, you will not be able to leave any truth. With that, Ge Shuhan leaned forward and asked, "Besides, how did you think about yesterday's events?" ”

After a long time, Jean put down the water glass and said, "Old general." After careful consideration, I have decided to follow you to ZTE my Datang. What does the old general command, even if he sends it, I will let you die for a long time! ”

"Good!" Ge Shuhan said with a smile, "In this way, with your assistance, Zhongxing Datang is hopeful!" ”

Ge Shuhan said, walked to the bedside, took out two books, and handed them to Long Jiurang, which were the two gun books and sword books.

After a long time, Ge Shuhan patted him on the shoulder and said, "These two books are family heirlooms of guns and swords. I was originally a Hu person, but my ancestors received the emperor's favor, and I must repay the emperor's kindness. These two books contain the essence of all the martial arts of my brother Shu's family. Today, I will officially teach you these two scores, and I hope you will make good use of them to improve your martial arts. ”

After a long time, I opened it and saw that it was densely packed with words, so he said: "But, old general, I can't read." ”

"It doesn't matter. The old man teaches you to learn literature during the day and martial arts at night. When you learn to read and write, you will learn my family's martial arts moves. At that time, if you practice diligently with these two books, your martial arts will improve a lot. ”

After listening to it for a long time, he immediately got up, knelt down in front of Ge Shuhan on his knees and said, "Old general, from now on, you will be my master." The master is above, and he is worshiped by the apprentice! After saying that, he kowtowed three times.

Ge Shuhan got up and helped him up for a long time and said, "Hey, you don't need to make this big gift. Apprenticeship and art, that is a matter in the rivers and lakes. You and I are all for the country, and we are not masters and apprentices. If you want to count, then you will recognize me as your father. ”

After listening for a long time, he knelt down on his knees in front of Ge Shuhan and said, "The righteous father is above, and he is worshiped by the child!" ”

Jiu Jiu Rang became Ge Shuhan's adopted son, and Jiu Jiu Rang's life experience gradually became clear. It turned out that the Xu family, since Xu Shouye's death, has gradually declined. When it was passed down to this generation for a long time, Xu's martial arts had long been lost, leaving only the kung fu of flying eaves and walls to protect themselves. For a long time, I didn't know anything else except light work. For a long time, Ge Shuhan was also impressed. It can be seen that if the martial arts of the Xu family are not lost, they will also be very strong.

For a long time, he has a strong understanding, and in just three months, Ge Shu's marksmanship and swordsmanship have been learned most of them. In this way, as long as you carefully study the mental method, your martial arts can be increased by more than ten times.

On this day, for a long time, he was practicing the new moves that Ge Shuhan taught him. Suddenly, a familiar figure walked in the distance.

That's right, it was the girl in white who was watching him at the door of the guest room that day, Brother Shu Bihua, the adopted daughter of Ge Shuhan.

Geshu Bihua got closer and closer, looking up and down for a long time. For a long time, I was a little embarrassed to be watched by a young girl, so I unconsciously lowered my head.

Geshu Bihua is not only young, but also very dignified in appearance and full of chivalry. There is only a faint aroma of rouge powder on the body, and when you get closer and closer, the fragrance is refreshing.

Geshu Bihua walked in front of Jiu Jiu Rang and said, "Are you Jiu Jiu Rang?" ”

After a long time, Jean raised his head slightly, glanced at Ge Shu Bihua, and quickly lowered his head, and replied softly: "Yes, I am ......"

Geshu Bihua smiled softly, walked around for a long time, and then said: "Sure enough, it is a bone essence, and my father is right." In the future, you will indeed be able to assist us in seizing the Han people's world. ”

After listening to it for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Geshu Bihua, and thought to himself: "She is the adopted daughter of her father-in-law?" Why do you say this? Could it be that my father-in-law is testing me? ”

Looking at the long time in a daze, Geshu Bihua smiled again: "What? Fallen for by my beauty? After speaking, he put his slender jade arm on Jiu Jiurang's shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "Help my father defeat the Han people, and I will be your person." After saying that, he kissed him lightly on the ear.

"Bihua!"

Following the sound of the voice, Ge Shuhan walked over slowly.

In the three months that he had been teaching Xi Wen and practicing martial arts for a long time, Ge Shuhan suddenly aged a lot. The lack of food and rest every day made Ge Shuhan feel that his body was deteriorating and that there was not much time left. Because of this, he very much hoped that he would learn the essence of his martial arts for a long time as soon as possible, so he forgot to sleep and eat even more. As a result, in a vicious circle, Ge Shuhan is now old, as if he is no longer as energetic as he was three months ago, and it is even difficult to even lift his sword now.

Ge Shuhan walked over slowly, and Ge Shu Bihua deliberately stayed away for a long time.

Ge Shuhan smiled: "Look, you have been here for three months, and I forgot to introduce you to my adopted daughter." Saying that, Ge Shuhan pointed to Ge Shu Bihua and said, "Jiu Rang, this is my beloved daughter, called Ge Shu Bihua, who is twenty years old this year." ”

Ge Shu Bihua took Ge Shuhan's arm with both hands, shook it and said coquettishly: "Father, you are talking about people too much. I'm only 19 years old! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ge Shuhan hurriedly corrected, "My daughter is nineteen years old this year. As he spoke, he pointed to Xu Jiurang and said, "Daughter, this is the new son of my father, the descendant of Xu Shouye, the general of Dangkou." ”

Jiu Jiu Rang hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Sister Bihua, my name is Jiu Jiu Rang, and I am eighteen years old this year. Well...... That's polite! ”

Ge Shu Bihua ignored him, took Ge Shuhan's arm and said, "Father, let's talk, I'm going to play with my sisters." As he spoke, he spread out a hand and placed it in front of Ge Shuhan.

Ge Shuhan glanced at it for a long time, and embarrassedly took out a few pieces of broken silver from his sleeve and put them in Ge Shu Bihua's hand. Seeing that she was walking away, Ge Shuhan smiled and said, "Alas! This daughter of mine, such an adult, still asks me for money like a child. Hey! ”

Watching Geshu Bihua walk away, I was very excited for a long time, but it quickly cooled down. As Geshu Bihua said, he was indeed captivated by her beauty. Perhaps, if it weren't for the time of war, he would have asked Geshuhan for this family business.

After a long time, he helped Ge Shuhan into his room, sat down on the edge of the bed, and asked tentatively and softly: "Father-in-law, what is the origin of your adopted daughter?" ”

After hearing this, Ge Shuhan smiled and said, "It's not a secret. I bought this woman on the street when I was in Anthy. At that time, his mother took her and wanted to sell her husband. I saw that she had a poor background, so I bought her mother and daughter. Back then, I didn't learn anything, and I provoked the enemy. When the enemy was chasing me, her own mother blocked a fatal knife for me, and she died at that time. I've felt guilty about this for the rest of my life. ”

"So, isn't she Han?"

After hearing this, Ge Shuhan felt a little unhappy in his heart and said, "What are these words? also plays for Zhongxing Datang, what kind of Hu Han is it? My brother Shuhan is also a Hu person, and he does not hesitate to die on the battlefield for the country! ”

After a long time, Jean hurriedly reassured: "Father-in-law is angry. I don't mean anything else. It's just that just now, before her stepfather came, Sister Bihua said some strange things. She said......"

"Alright, don't say any more." Ge Shuhan rudely interrupted Long Jean's words and said, "My daughter, I know her. After speaking, Ge Shuhan stood up, walked slowly to the door tremblingly, turned around and said, "Jiurang, I am not old and confused. You just need to practice literature and martial arts, and leave the rest to me to handle. With that, he walked out.

After a long time, I realized that Ge Shuhan already felt that his time was short, and what he hoped for most was the stability of the current situation. Maybe he knows that his daughter has different intentions for him, but at this time, people don't dare to face the reality.

Only three months later, Geshuhan fell ill in bed, unable to afford to be sick. When he was dying, Ge Shuhan called Jiu Jiu Rang to his side.

looked at Ge Shuhan, who was dying on the bed, and suddenly cried for a long time. The cry came, and the doormen and attendants around couldn't help but sob.

Ge Shuhan strengthened his spirits, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly and said, "Jiurang, come closer." ”

For a long time, Jean cried and knelt beside the bed.

Geshuhan raised his trembling hand and motioned for the surrounding doormen and attendants to withdraw. Then, he put it on the shoulder of Jiurang and said, "Jiurang." My brother Shuhan should have died a long time ago, but the cause of Zhongxing Datang was not completed, and he couldn't close his eyes at all. Now, my limit is approaching, and you have learned all the martial arts moves of my family. All that's left is to carefully study the two books I gave you and cultivate the mental method. As he spoke, tears flashed in the corners of his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he became old and tearful.

Ge Shuhan took out a four-folded piece of paper from his bosom and said, "This piece of paper is what you need to do after I die, but you are not allowed to open it yet." After speaking, Ge Shuhan raised his hand to wipe away his tears and continued, "Jiurang, I'm really unwilling!" I can't see the day when Master Wang returns! ”

After a long time, Jean fell on the side of the bed and said, "Father-in-law! Say no more! You want to take care of your illness, and I will also learn martial arts with you every day! ”

Ge Shuhan shook his head and smiled: "Don't cry. After being famous, how can you cry because of this little thing? After speaking, Ge Shuhan raised his hand to wipe away the tears that had been in place for a long time. For a long time, Jean also held back his sadness and held back his tears.

In this way, after two days of death, Geshuhan died of exhaustion.

When the news of Geshuhan's death spread throughout the country, the people rejoiced. They didn't know that the so-called "traitorous old thief" in their eyes was killed by hard work for the sake of Zhongxing Datang.

The funeral of Geshuhan was lined up and down the Goshuhan Mansion. The preparations for the funeral were in charge of Ge Shuhan's two sons, so naturally they didn't have to be presided over for a long time. When An Lushan heard the news of Ge Shuhan's death, he was also heartbroken and made a special trip to Pinglu to offer condolences.

This is the perfect time to assassinate An Lushan!

That's right, for a long time, let him secretly calculate: "Before Ge Shuhan's spiritual position, killing An Lushan with his own hands is the best tribute to it." ”

Sure enough, three days later, An Lushan led his close entourage into Geshuhan's mansion.

"Emperor Dayan has arrived!" As a voice came, I heard a middle-aged man staggering into the door. An Lushan personally came to offer his condolences.

"Aiqing!" An Lushan's arms were in the air, trembling constantly. His face was blurred with tears and his expression was sad. More than a dozen personal guards behind him, surrounded by An Lushan, approached the mourning hall in the main hall step by step.

It's been a long time since I've been closed for the past few days. First, in order to weaken his existence in Geshufu, secondly, he was stepping up his study of all the marksmanship and swordsmanship taught by Geshuhan, and thirdly, he wiped and wiped the sword that Geshuhan carried with him, and waited for this day to use this sword to kill An Lushan with his own hands.

Now, An Lushan is in front of him.

"Don't stop me!" An Lushan cried and shouted, "I treat General Geshu like a brother, let me go and bow in front of his spirit!" With that, An Lushan broke free from the personal guards around him, and rushed to the spiritual position with an arrow step.

An Lushan took off his hat and bowed deeply to the spiritual seat.

It's a great time!

After thinking for a long time, the sword bounced out of its sheath. An arrow rushed forward, grasped the sword, and stabbed it with a single sword.

Seeing this, the personal guards immediately rushed up to escort the car. Unfortunately, the action is a step slower.

For a long time, the swordsmanship was sharp, and he showed no mercy. After piercing a guard, he raised his hand and opened a large hole in An Lushan's throat. An Lushan's blood "poofed" and sprinkled all over the mourning hall.

"I killed An Lushan?" For a long time, I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Raising his hand, he cut off An Lushan's head and shouted to the personal guard in front of him.

"An Lushan's head is here! Lay down your weapons! It's time for ZTE to Datang! ”

Suddenly, the sound of Sansheng slapping came from outside the door.

"Let's see, where is my head?" As he spoke, another round middle-aged man walked in.

This is the real An Lushan.

It took a long time to be surprised. He didn't expect that there would be a second An Lushan. In other words, An Lushan will arrange a fake stand-in first.

At this time, following the real An Lushan in, there were dozens of personal guards, each of whom was wearing heavy armor, and the blade was aimed at for a long time.

"Long time!" An Lushan shouted, "How dare you assassinate me? ”

After a long time, let lose the head of the fake "An Lushan", held the sword tightly in his right hand, and looked at the guards around An Lushan vigilantly.

"Your Majesty!" A bewitching voice came from An Lushan's back. After a long time, I looked at it, and it turned out to be Ge Shuhan's adopted daughter, Ge Shu Bihua.

"Your Majesty! This strong man is a long time. He colluded with his adoptive father and conspired to prosper the Tang Dynasty! ”

"You!" After a long time, his eyes widened with anger, and he pointed his sword heart at Geshu Bihua, "Thanks to the grace of the old general Geshu, you didn't know how to repay the favor, but colluded with An Lushan and recognized the thief as your father?" ”

"Humph!" Geshu Bihua's face changed, and he said, "Recognize the thief as a father? Phew! I am now the princess of the Great Yan Empire, how can I recognize a thief as my father? Didn't Ge Shuhan tell you that he was a Hu man? ”

After being asked like this for a long time, I had no idea.

Ge Shu Bihua glanced at him, and then said: "Ge Shu Han is a shame to our Hu people! Served the Han court, and did not repent when he died. Tell you, I am also a Hu person, and An Lushan is also a Hu person. The Central Plains has been ruled by the Han people for so long, and it is time for us to sit on the world! ”

"Hahaha!" An Lushan laughed and said, "Ai Concubine, that's right! ”

After speaking, An Lushan continued to shout: "Geshuhan's family, listen! Ge Shuhan colluded with the Han people to be unfavorable to our dynasty! The long time in front of me is the desire of the rebel forces! After capturing for a long time, I will let you continue to live in the mansion, and the descendants of Geshu will succeed as the envoy of the Pinglu Festival. Otherwise, I'll cut you all down!" ”
