65. Chapter 65
Thirty-year-old Fenjiu, although the taste is soft, but full of strength. said that it was four people who drank it, but in fact, half of it went into Jiang Duo's stomach alone.
He was smoky, his tongue became a little bigger, and he complained vaguely to Shen Huan, "Brother, you are really, really not interesting." Because I am sincere to you and to you, you ran away without saying a word, and when you saw me, what kind of Rausch mask was you...... I don't even know what you look like, it's not interesting......"
"But I really didn't expect you to be so handsome. What do you say about Pan An Song Yu, I don't think it's all as good as you. He put his shoulder on the side of Jiang Zhao, "I used to think that my brother was the best-looking man in the world." After seeing you, I realized that he, he can't do it, he is all compared to you......"
After saying that, Ho Ho laughed, no matter how embarrassed Jiang Zhao was. After picking up the wine jug again in the middle of the night, Jiang Zhao hurriedly stopped it, but just comforted him warmly, "Brother, it's almost over, drink too much carefully and get a headache tomorrow." β
But where can it be stopped, Jiang Duo stared and shouted, "I didn't drink too much, what are you panicking about!" I'm happy today, happy ......"
Tilting his neck and drinking it all, no one can persuade him. After drinking, he whispered to Shen Huan, "Brother, if you come here, you can find the right place." Let me tell you, the Great Wei Dynasty is rotten, rotten to the roots, and it will definitely be finished! Looking at the world, the biggest hero is in this small Tongguan City. Don't look at the fact that we are only in a corner of peace now, sooner or later, sooner or later, we will go to Beijing! When the time comes, you can go back to your hometown, and you will return to your hometown! It will be no problem to pay homage to the marquis...... It's a pity that our relatives can't see the scenery. β
Suddenly, it seemed to turn into wine again, "My parents died, and they died unjustly, all because of the dog emperor and the eunuchs around him...... They couldn't see the common people getting rich, so they expropriated and looted everywhere. My father, who was originally the governor of Jingzhou Prefecture, was in charge of taxes, including mining taxes and commercial taxes. In the sixth year of Longqing, the imperial court sent the imperial horse eunuch Bingbi to the south to collect taxes, but they levied too hard and did not give people a way to live at all...... As a result, they were blocked in the post house by the common people, and they burned down this group of straight thieves. There was a eunuch head in the palace, and the eunuch surnamed Chang wanted to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and traced it down, and dismissed the yamen of the Jingzhou prefect from all over the top. My father was robbed on the road by them because he said a word for Shangfeng, and he was strangled to death. Damn it! This group of dogs/Japanese eunuchs, who control the court, fill their private pockets, and have a good country, have been ruined by this group of people. This revenge, Lao Tzu must be avenged! When we enter Beijing and arrest the man surnamed Chang, Lao Tzu will cut off the flesh on his body piece by piece, so that he can taste what it is like to be cut by a thousand knives. β
He was filled with righteous indignation, which made the people around him even more embarrassed. Jiang Zhao sighed, glanced at Shen Huan as if inadvertently, and then turned his gaze away.
"Brother, let's talk less. Those old things are gone, so don't mention them. β
Jiang Duo nodded solemnly, "Yes, it's all over, but we have to remember it in our hearts and not forget it!" This revenge must be avenged, or I am sorry for my father. Father, how much I hurt you at that time, if it weren't for ......"
Jiang Zhao coughed twice and said, "Brother, you're really a little tall." Today is a happy day, why do you keep talking about some tragic things about our family, you don't have to scare Brother Shen. β
"Yes, yes." Jiang Duo came back to his senses and nodded again and again, "Look at me, I really can't speak, Brother Shen, don't be surprised." But I know that you are also a person with a story, otherwise you would have experienced such a calm experience at such a young age. Brother Shen, are your relatives really not in the capital anymore? Didn't leave a sister or anything? β
Shen Huan said no, "The family is gone, and I am the only one left." β
Jiang Duo sighed, "It's also a poor person." He looked at Jiang Zhao again, and then said, "It's more miserable than our brothers, so we can still take care of each other." β
said but laughed again, "Brother Shen, don't be too careful, I just asked, I really see that you are too good looking, I think maybe you can have a sister or something...... I was cheeky enough to ask for one for myself. Hey, don't get me wrong, it's not for me. I know what I look like, and I don't deserve to be such a good girl. It's for, it's for, my brother. You have also seen him, so I won't talk about his appearance, and I can also pat my chest as a guarantee for my character. In addition to these, he is also considered to be both civil and military, and his knowledge was personally taught by the Wuyingdian scholar who was invited by my father to Zhishi, and later he also practiced a good light skill...... If it weren't for the defeat of our family and the joining of the Heavenly King's Army, the expedition to the east and the west would have been delayed, and we would not have had a daughter-in-law until now. Brother Shen, you don't know, this is how many years this has been a piece of heart disease, my younger brother ......"
Shen Huan looked at his younger brother with a smile, Jiang Zhao's face was white and red at this moment, and according to her, he had to reach out and block his brother's mouth.
"Big brother, don't talk about it." frowned, lowered the volume, and still couldn't suppress the flow of embarrassment, "You haven't married yet, where can I get my turn." Didn't we say that it was the first priority to help the king of heaven to achieve great things, and the rest were not in a hurry. β
Jiang Zhao was intuitively embarrassed, but fortunately, at this point, his brother really couldn't talk anymore. Jiang Duo was really a little drunk, and his speech became more and more unclear, and when he saw Jiang Zhao coming to help him, he was able to push him away, "I, I'm not drunk...... I can still walk, walk in a straight line, and I'll show you if I don't believe me. β
He stood up and shook to a stumbling stagger. Jiang Zhao immediately made a decision, summoned the entourage waiting outside, and ordered someone to help his brother back to rest.
The people were sent away, and the room suddenly fell silent. Bai Yin glanced at him, without a good voice, "Why don't you leave?" β
He leaned lazily on the back of the chair and said idly, "I still have a few words to say to Brother Shen, I don't know if the white girl can avoid it?" β
Bai Yin immediately said no, "You can't say anything to people, unless there are unsightly words!" Is there anything you can't say to my face? β
The corners of his lips curled, and he said slowly, "What I'm going to say is about marriage." Actually, I fell in love with a person next to Brother Shen, but this person seems to be a little prejudiced against me, which makes me very distressed, and I don't know what to do. So I want to ask him, what should he do? Maybe the opportunity is right, and I'm going to propose to Brother Shen. White girl, do you really want to hear my words? β
As he spoke, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of spring, and his smile surged up little by little, like ten thousand trees blooming in spring.
Seeing Bai Yin, he was a little dumbfounded, although he knew that not a word in his words was true, he still couldn't help blushing. After a while, he stood up and twisted into the inner room.
Facing Shen Huan, he was a little improper, just lazy as nothing to do with gossip, "Let Brother Shen laugh, my brother is a real person, and he has always been straightforward with people who throw his temper, and he has a point." He treats you as his own, so he will drink and spit out the truth. If there is something inappropriate, I hope that Brother Shen Haihan. β
Shen Huan just smiled, "You said so, if I have any ideas, it's too hypocritical." Your brother is a good man, and he has a straightforward temperament, and he is very temperamental to me. Thinking of Jiang Duo's drunken words, the words changed, "He is really good to you, I have never seen an elder brother who thinks about his younger brother like this and thinks about his younger brother everywhere." β
He looked at her as if to savor her words, "Yes, how fortunate I am! To have such a brother in this life. He is the person who loves me the most in this world, my life was saved by him, and in this life, no matter what I take, I still feel that I can't afford to repay this kindness. β
Suddenly, there was something in the words, but Shen Huan didn't answer his stubble, "The so-called brothers, maybe they only have this life, not the afterlife." Life is short, if it is as heavy as a mountain, it is better to repay it as soon as possible. β
He raised his eyebrows, a little stunned, "You don't seem to have any curiosity." When people hear this, they always ask me about it. You don't care at all, are you really not curious, or are you just not curious about my business at all? β
"You're really talking." She smiled and said, "If you want to tell a story, I'm afraid everyone has a set." I couldn't finish listening, so I didn't bother to ask. What's more, sometimes, I still don't know so much. β
Maybe the time hadn't come yet, he suddenly comforted himself. After thinking about it, he nodded in agreement, "Well, maybe one day, you are in the mood to listen, and I am also in the mood to speak, and then it will not be too late to talk about it." β
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw his attendant outside carrying a basket of silver bone charcoal, and he casually ordered it to be placed in the north room, and then explained to her, "I was in a hurry when I got up in the morning, and I didn't prepare a charcoal fire." The soot smoke in this room is too heavy, so you still have to use this. You also know that the really good things that are used are still the batch of things we robbed from Shanxi Road in the old years. In terms of usefulness, no one can compare to the people in the palace. β
What could she say, she had to smile and thank you. I really didn't expect him to treat her so attentively and carefully. Thinking about his daily appearance, he was full of emotion, "You are quite good at taking care of people, I always thought that you were a young master who only cared about his own enjoyment." β
He looked at her with some disgust, then lowered his eyes, "That's true, you read that right." But that's me on weekdays, and when I met you, I don't know why, so I suddenly became considerate. β
The tone was faint, and if she couldn't hear it anymore, she would be living a hell of a life.
Shen Huan looked at the person in front of him seriously, almost like watching. is really a good-looking man, especially if he is stained with a little alcohol, he is confused in his breath, and he wants to talk about it, and his face and body are full of romance.
Young, handsome, and confident, how many girls will dream of it and flock to it. Unfortunately, she was not among them, and that was not what she liked and appreciated.
She has seen better, the gentlest eyebrows and eyes in the world, the purest smile, and the most dignified bearing.
Her thoughts were surging, and she couldn't help but miss that person. Evil thoughts suddenly surged in her heart, wanting to treat the person in front of her as that person, or to completely change the person in front of her into that person, as if only in this way could she alleviate the pain she couldn't ask for in her heart.
Turning the glass in her hand, she knew that her eyes were foggy, "Really?" That's like me. I'm the person who doesn't like to be favored by others the most on weekdays. But when I touch you, I suddenly feel at ease. Just thinking about it, I can't help but feel a little melancholy. What if you can't afford it in the future? β
He was clearly stunned, because he didn't expect her to answer his words, and he was so ambiguous and informed.
However, it's more interesting. In this way, you come and go, which is much more exciting than him singing a one-man show alone. He almost felt like he had picked up a treasure, and suddenly he was very excited.
"Then don't be in a hurry, think slowly. After a long time, you can always think of ways to repay me. β
His smiling eyes were like a crescent moon in the sky, with indescribable beauty. But no, something is wrong...... He said he would wait, waiting for himself to repay him later.
It's not like that, if it were that person, he would say, don't have to repay him, he doesn't need to. He just watched her live well, live happily, and live willingly, without regrets and regrets.
She sighed silently in her heart, after all, there is only one Gu Cheng in the world. He was there, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, but deeply rooted in her memory. No one can erase it, and no one can replace it.
She shouldn't have looked for his shadow in others, because it was impossible to find it!
It's boring to think about, and it's okay not to play this kind of game. She lowered her brows and changed her tone, "Who is that Liu Xianjun that I said in front of my head?" It's as if both of you brothers have a lot of criticism of him. β
He was stunned again, not wanting her to change the topic so quickly. It's a bit abrupt, but it makes sense.
Maybe he's still shy, some emotions have to be adjusted slowly, and he understands the truth that he can't reach it quickly.
"That's a long story. He claimed to be a cultivator, but as for what sect and sect he cultivated, he never wanted to elaborate. He was found by General Chen under the throne of the Heavenly Throne, and he gave the Heavenly King a few times of life, and he once showed in the army that he traveled thousands of miles at night, was invulnerable, and had stunts such as not eating in the valley, and he had always been cited as a god by General Chen. β
He smiled, sarcastically clear, "Many people believe that he is an old immortal who has attained enlightenment, and some people are still speculating that he may be a thousand years old." Anyway, there are more people who believe that he is here to help the Heavenly King, and it seems that he is such a person out of thin air, which can show that the Heavenly King has indeed received the will of God and came to save sentient beings. β
She frowned when she heard this, "How can someone as clever as the Heavenly King believe in these strange powers?" β
"Strange power?" He smiled contemptuously, "Zi Bu is silent, it's just an ideal." How many people can do it? Now the Son of Heaven on the throne also believes in alchemy and immortal cultivation. The king of heaven is also a human being, not to mention that the people below are willing to believe that this is a god from heaven, if it goes against the will of heaven, wouldn't it be difficult to teach the heavens? β
She was silent, somewhat disappointed. It turns out that Gao Fengxiang is nothing more than this, and he will be deceived by these tricks that pretend to be gods and ghosts. On second thought, it's not surprising. After all, people's hearts are insatiable, and the more they try, the more they will be blinded by those desires, and they will be constrained by their own greed and unable to extricate themselves.
As for Liu Xianjun, Shen Huan has never seen it with his own eyes. But his deeds continued to reach her ears in the next few days.
The reason was that General Chen had returned from a great victory in Shangshan, and in addition to the prisoners of war, he had brought with him thirty young girls who were like flowers and jadesβof course, these girls had been rescued from the imperial army. So these girls came to Tongguan, so how to settle them next became a problem.
Gao Fengxiang has always been extremely strict in governing the army, and has repeatedly ordered the people of the Wushen Department not to prostitute people/wives and daughters, and even more so to prostitutes/prostitutes, but perhaps these strict orders are an exception for General Chen. This person sat in the second position in the Shuntian Army, and he was also the first person to follow Gao Fengxiang to raise troops. The two are really friends who cut their heads and necks, so many things become a little ambiguous when they get to the surname Chen.
Of course, General Chen did not want to leave these girls at home or distribute them to the soldiers. He has another trick, and this trick is exactly what Liu Xianjun got in his dream. He said that when he said the Three Kingdoms, Cao Mengde once built the Tongque Terrace to attract the world's celebrities and beauties, and later generations praised it, which is a good talk - this is the behavior of a generation of overlords, and it is also the right that a generation of masters should enjoy.
Now these women are lonely, and if they are scattered among the people, they will not die in the first place. But if they are dedicated to the Heavenly King, their lives will have a new meaning. The king of heaven does not have to really be involved with them, he only needs to find a secluded place for them to live together, and pray for the king day and night. The girl's innocent voice will condense into a force that will eventually reach the heavens.
Of course, some people believe in this statement, and some people are dissatisfied and suspicious. But General Chen and Liu Xianjun repeatedly insisted, sneering at the opposing remarks, and only attacked the other side for violating the mandate of heaven.
There are Geng Jie's own people in the Shuntian army, and it is said that when everyone was deliberating, a Hongwenguan bachelor surnamed Feng refuted this statement without mercy. Favoring a literati like him is exactly what General Chen likes the most. The two of them quarreled in front of the council hall, and the king of heaven tried to dissuade him several times, but he really had no choice, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being, and leave it for discussion later.
However, according to Jiang Zhao, who participated in the discussion, when everyone dispersed, he clearly heard Liu Xianjun's notice to Master Feng that he violated the will of heaven and was afraid that he would do more injustice.
Sticking to their own opinions, making sarcastic remarks, and even intimidating evil words, it is no different from today's court. Shen Huan smiled when he heard this, but he was a little curious about what would happen next. As a result, only two days later, she heard that Master Feng had really suffered from the seedlings, and there was a ghost in the house for no reason, and she still knocked on the door in the middle of the night.
In the small courtyard, there were only Feng and his wife and a few maids. In the middle of the night, there was a tuk knock on the door in almost every room. At first, no one cared, so they naturally went to open the door, but when they opened it, it was empty outside.
The first time may be a coincidence, but after a few reciprocating sessions, and even closing the door, the knock came clearly. Looking through the door panel, you can also see that there is no one under the eaves.
The handmaiden was so timid that she fell ill in bed. Mrs. Feng was still bold, but at night she was disturbed by the sound and couldn't sleep, and in less than three days, she finally couldn't afford to fall ill.
At this point, Master Feng remembered that the result of Liu Xianjun's violation of heaven's will that day was at a loss for Confucian scholars who never believed in ghosts and gods. The rumors of the haunting soon spread, and those who had questioned the so-called providence were silenced, and no one objected to the placement of the thirty maidens.
"Do you believe that a ghost knocks on the door in the middle of the night?" Shen Huan had heard Jiang Zhao's description, and there must be a hidden secret under her intuition, although she couldn't think of what means Liu Xianjun used for the time being.
Jiang Zhao said he didn't believe it, smiled lightly and shook his head, "I only believe in myself, I believe in what the sage said, there are no ghosts in this world at all." β
Then maybe you can take a look. Shen Huan is a night owl, anyway, there is nothing to do in the town, so he simply took advantage of the unpreparedness, sneaked to Master Feng's mansion at night, and waited quietly on the eaves of his house.
After only a cup of tea, I didn't see a ghost, but I heard a gust of wind behind me, followed by a light sound of landing, so light that it was almost imperceptible.
Good light body kung fu, very talented in pretending to be a ghost! She smiled, Huo Ran looked back, and after her eyes met, she was stunned.
"Is that you?" After looking at it for a long time, she asked with a smile.
"So it's a coincidence that you're there." The person who came was dressed in black, half-masked, and only two slightly upturned phoenix eyes were exposed.
The mask is to cover the overly white complexion, but the phoenix eyes are a unique mark, and the man in black is undoubtedly Jiang Zhao.
He leaned lightly and lay down beside her, "Did you find anything?" β
She shook her head, then smiled, "You're here to investigate?" Look, what's the buzz? Or, how do I know, if you're going to be that ghost? β
He sneered out laughing, "Me? Of course not! Turning his head to look at her, "I'm coming behind you, and if there is a ghost, you should be more suspicious." β
"I don't have to do that." She smiled and bowed her head
He blinked slightly, "I don't have either, and ......" paused, and stared at her more and more, "I saw you go out, so I deliberately followed." I know you're good at kung fu, but I'm afraid you're in danger. β
A low voice wandered in her ear, as if she was blowing lightly, "After all, this time it's to deal with ghosts, so it's safer for two people to be together." β
