Chapter 213: There Are Birds in the Sky That Are Big
As soon as he came out of the Heavenly Soul Mountain, Chu Xianzhao saw dozens of big boats floating on the Yunjian River from a distance, and hundreds of white eagle flags were vibrating slowly, which were the ships sent by Jingnan City to pick up the army.
Chu instantly looked at the scene ahead, his heart was a little shocked, but his face turned pale, he pointed to the big ship and just wanted to say something to Hua Youyue, the other party raised his eyebrows and ordered coldly: "Qian Yi passed on my order, let the soldiers in the rear give up the useless baggage frame, quickly go down the mountain to the shoal, board the boat all the way tomorrow, and be sure to arrive in Jingnan City before tonight, if there is a slight delay, it will be dealt with according to military law!"
"Yes!" Qian Yi slammed the eagle flag on his back on the shallows, Chu Xianzhao looked at his back as he turned over and left on his horse, and clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist: "Teacher, I ......"
Hua Youyue ignored him, but walked to convey the order to other subordinates, Chu Xianzhao couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, sure enough, it was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and it was not too late for a woman to take revenge for a hundred years, Hua Youyue didn't even have a chance to apologize to him, so he was too careful.
The water in this area is turbulent, the river is open, the two banks are not blocked by high mountains, the water is dangerous, every year at the beginning of August, the Jiuyun Sword River will roll into a tide, the tide is like thunder, the mountains and the sea are quite spectacular, Chu Xianzhao thought that maybe there was a chance to see the tide of the Yunjian River, my brother had seen it once, he said to himself that the tide was like a majestic silver thread like a shocking burst, when he and the soldiers stood at the bow of the boat was scared half to death, after getting off the boat, he vomited for a long time, the tide came to the face of the air is not lost to the iron cavalry charge, the current calm is only temporary, really to the eighth day of the first month of August, he will have the opportunity to see the scenery of the river that swallows the sky and the fertile day。
Hopefully he'll live to that time.
Hua Youyue instructed herself and the Empress of Shuyue this morning to go to Jingnan City to rest on the boat first, and then the soldiers of the Fang Dynasty got on the boat to cross the river together, at this time he was wearing a green shirt and stood on the bow of the boat, the Empress of Shuyue accompanied her daughter to rest in the bedroom, and he smiled at Su Nianyu on the side: "Do you know why Yunjian River is called Yunjian River?" There is an allusion in this, it is said that there is no river here thousands of years ago, but a barren beach, legend has it that there are two immortals from the clouds to the ground to turn into immortals, but these two immortals actually fought, turning the clouds into rain and thunder, the backhand turned the clouds into a giant sword, the immortals fought on the shallows for seven days and seven nights, during which the cloud sword fell into the shallows continuously, and finally turned the floating clouds into water and finally became a big river, this is the origin of the Yunjian River, I have been thinking about how many clouds to gather into a big river?"
"You know all the stories, tell me a few more?" Su Nianyu hugged him behind his back and said with a bright smile.
Chu Xianzhao smiled: "Let me tell you, after arriving in the middle of the Yunjian River in a while, there is a place called the Great Shoal near here that is an excellent place to watch the tide of the Yunjian River." Due to the long-term siltation of sediment in the river, a small sandbar is formed in the river, and the tide of the Yunjian River bypasses the sandbar after it crosses each other, and finally presents the spectacular scene of "the sea surface thunders and thunders, and the waterfall in the center of the river is horizontal". If you have the chance, I will take you to see the superb view of the tide converging, don't stand in front of you, after a while, the hull of the boat will shake so badly that you will fall into the river, I will not go down to catch you, at most throw a rope for you to climb up. ”
"Then I'll pull you down, just like before, maybe we still have a chance to go on a cave expedition?" she smiled and said, Chu Xianzhao waved his hand: "I don't want to be like last time, this is the surface of the river, and the river doesn't look like there is a cave in the river, and besides, I am not good at water, so I can't swim up." ”
Su Nianyu blinked, looked at the clear river and asked, "Xiao Zhao, is there really a dragon in the river?"
"Perhaps...... Jiaolong is a rare species in the north, but it is often seen by people near the river, inhabiting lakes and other places where water gathers, and will also quietly live in seclusion at the bottom of ponds or rivers far away from people's homes. The dragon that lives in the pond and river is generally called the "water dragon" or "river dragon", if the dragon encounters thunder and lightning rain, it has the opportunity to soar into the sky and become a real dragon!"
"Then what's the difference between Qingguo's dragon and Jiao?" she asked coquettishly.
"The difference is that they are tamed. Dragons or Jiao, they are all overlords on land, pets of gods and Buddhas, and should not have been subdued by humans, but the people of the Zhao royal family are unique in the world by virtue of the method of taming dragons with one hand, it is said that there are thousands of tamed flying dragons in Qingguo, and there will be thousands of flying dragons gathering on the head of the city of Luoyang City every year, which is very shocking to think about. Chu instantaneously summoned his gaze, but when he thought that he would be the enemy of these flying dragons in the future, his heart fluttered.
Jiaolong will often fight for control of lakes and other places, the powerful Jiaolong can seize the lake that is more comfortable, while the weak Jiaolong can only live in a small pond or river, the Jiaolong will often devour the pond fish, causing the fishermen to suffer heavy losses, even so the fishermen still offer sacrifices to the dragon lord in the pool, from the small cakes and fruits to the children at home, the fishermen believe that the rain also has a deep relationship with the dragon, in Chu Xianzhao's view, it is nothing more than related to the thick natural breath in their bodies.
Compared with the real Wyvern, Jiang Jiao's natural breath is obviously much rarer, and it can only control the river water in the river, and cannot control the wind and thunder light flames and swallow the dragon flames.
"And what does the dragon like to eat the most?" she asked again.
"I don't know...... They can eat whatever they want. Chu Xianzhao smiled bitterly and couldn't stop her arm, and bit her face lightly: "I like to eat women like you the most, who smell fragrant and soft to the touch." ”
She blinked her eyes and blushed rarely: "But I'm just a worthless woman." ”
He continued: "Who dares to say that I don't beat him like this, beauty is like a famous landscape painting, it is difficult to change a thousand gold, and it is difficult to find a pearl and jade." ”
"Since I'm a beauty, it's strange, why can't someone just look at it, it's weird?" she smiled charmingly and put her hand on Chu Xian's shoulder.
"Someone is a righteous man and a gentleman, and he really can't do anything difficult for a strong person. ”
"What if someone wanted to?" she smirked as she fingertips.
"Look, there are only big birds in the sky!" Chu Xuanzhao immediately pulled away from the topic and pointed to the top of his head.
"I don't know if the bird in the sky is big or not, if it's someone-" Speaking of this, she stopped abruptly, Chu Xianzhao, who didn't realize it, was still smirking, the two hugged for a while, Chu Zhaozhao suddenly understood something, raised his hand and patted her on the back buttocks: "You woman scolds people without swearing, you can't learn it if you want to!"
The crisp slapping sound spread far away, and Su Nianyu blushed and said unhappily: "There are still many people on the boat......
Chu Xianzhao turned his head to look, the soldiers immediately stopped laughing, pretending to look at the riverside seriously, Chu Xianzhao immediately let go of his hand and stood aside, looking at the river fog at the end, the shadow of Jingnan City was faintly visible.
The vassal kings under the banner of the Yin State all have fiefs, except for Chu Xianzhao's uncle Tang Wangye, almost all of them are kings with different surnames, such as Zhuzi's father is the lord of Weiyang City, mastering part of the military power, and Zhao Kai, the king of Jiangyue, who is in charge of Jiangyue, has a heavy army, Jingnan City has made Nangong Weibo these four years committed to taking charge of Jingnan City, and its soldiers are strong and strong, under the training of Nangong Weber, the soldiers have been fighting with the Yanfu people outside the city for a long time, so they are brave and good at fighting, not only can go up the mountain to conceal the forest battle, but also can go over the mountain and get on the horse as a cavalry, all of them are white in the waves, Nangong Weber personally led the troops to return victoriously。
In addition to cultivating a group of strong soldiers, due to the critical strategic position and strong fortifications of Jingnan City, it is difficult for the Yanfu people to recapture the city, so that the battle is lost, some smart people in the city often go to the battlefield to remove the bamboo armor and swallowtail knife from the dead Yanfu soldiers and take them to the Yinguo Bazaar to sell, in the blink of an eye, the price can rise more than ten times, Nangong Weber advocates the practice of loosening the outside and tightening the inside, so that the scale and power of the city have developed by leaps and bounds.
The war between Yinguo and Yan Fu is not over, although Jingnan City is now in their hands, but Chu instantly summoned the information from Jingnan City, Yan Fu people have united the Shuyue army to gather troops, and the army will press the border at any time, and the soldiers will come to the city, but at this critical juncture, Nangong Weber was bedridden in the early spring of last year, this is very impressive, and his subordinates such as family members died peacefully after two weeks, crying outside the city, the soldiers and soldiers in the city have lamented, Emperor Yin personally went to Jingnan City to worship this subordinate and friend, in order to calm the mood in the city, and named his daughter Nangong Mingyue as the lord of Jingnan City。
Even the soldiers of Yan Fu personally wore white veil on the frontier to mourn this heroic city lord, although the Yan Fu people said that they were debauched, but they had a very good line, they respected the heroes of the war, whether it was the enemy's or their own, there is no such thing as a hero twilight in Yan Fu, every old hero can get great respect and praise from the younger generations.
"Sister-in-law...... Are you alright? I'm here to see you. Chu Xianzhao said in a low voice, although his brother's marriage to her was treated as a farce by Emperor Yinhuang back then, but in Chu Zhaozhao's heart, this gentle woman who likes to wear blue and purple clothes will always be his sister-in-law, and his brother told him personally.
May there be lovers in the world who will eventually become married......
Su Nianyu held her cheeks by the railing and looked at the scenery of the river, and asked softly: "If I am not there one day, will you forget me, Xiaozhao." ”
"Don't ask such nonsensical questions, believe it or not, I'll beat you up again?"
"Then I will let you do it, if you can't fight back, you won't scold back. She said lazily.
"What are you asking me to say about you?"
"When I was a child, when I was away from the north, I looked at the heavy snow outside the window and never thought that I would come to Jingnan City so far away, if it wasn't for that accident, I would have married and had children by now, and I lived a life with a man who left the north and could see the end at a glance......"
"You don't like this kind of life?"
"No, I like it very much, I really want to be able to wear a wedding dress and paint red makeup, I really want to watch the children under my knees in groups, watch them grow up slowly, grow up safely, marry a wife and have children, I really want to look at the white head, and finally die in a warm bed, without regrets in my life, without life or death. ”
Chu Xianzhao was silent.
"Xiao Zhao, you are a person who wants to do great things, you don't understand, and you don't need to understand the wishes of ordinary people like us. You are out of the king, the high-crowned carriage and the million-iron ride are not majestic, but you must know that once you will succeed, it is a living human life, not a hundred thousand pigs or a hundred thousand dogs, the reason why I am telling you these is not for myself, but for those who are willing to die for you, and in the end they have not even left their names, you have to remember their good, and listen to them more. ”
Chu Xuan nodded: "I understand." ”
"I like you the most. She smiled and said, like a fluttering butterfly into his arms, sniffing the smell of the young man's body vigorously, Chu Xianzhao rested his chin on her head and asked softly: "Sister Yu, I heard that you don't close only one eye when you leave the northerners, is this true?"
"It seems to be...... she blinked her left eye vigorously, but found that she really couldn't close one eye as the boy said, Chu Xianzhao looked at her frowning expression and chuckled lowly.
"Sister Yu, let me ask you a question, if you blink an eye, it means yes, and if you blink two eyes, it means no. Chu Xianzhao smiled evilly.
"Kid, you're trying to trick me again, ask?" she chuckled softly.
Chu Xianzhao cleared his throat, stretched out a finger in front of her and said solemnly: "Do you want to be the princess of Yinguo?"
Su Nianyu subconsciously closed her left eye, but found that both of her eyes were closed, puffed up her cheeks and said sincerely: "You...... You...... Is that true?"
Chu Xianzhao rubbed her cheeks: "Lie to you, what a stupid woman." ”
