Xiliang, Liangzhou.

Today is an excellent day, the sky is as blue as a match, the sun has a characteristic dryness of the western cool, and you can see beams of colorful sunlight when you squint.

In the so-called Liangzhou prison, the girls got up early to start washing, panning, and weaving, and the shuttle shuttled back and forth in the textile cart. Back then, they were sent by King Jing'an to Xiliang to carry out the assassination mission, no matter how ingenious and elaborate the design, in the end they always failed, and then they were thrown into this mansion by Xu Yunfeng to do some washing and weaving things.

They hate in their hearts, not how much they hate Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, but Xu Yunfeng, the prince of Xiliang, who resent His Royal Highness Xu Yunfeng, who works all day long, without a moment of rest, and has a thick callus on his hands.

The most annoying thing is that Xu Yunfeng often comes to "inspect the work" to see how the silk is spun, and they heard that the reason why Xiliang has the money to raise 300,000 Xiliang troops is that the silk they spun is indispensable. Xiliang is located between the Central Plains and Xihu, cutting off the connection between the Central Plains and the Western Regions, there is a huge empire in the place west of Xihu, the nobles are very fond of the Central Plains silk, and they compare with each other more than whose silk.

And the silk sold by Xiliang through the Silk Road has reached an appalling and staggering level, and a roll of silk can reach 10,000 gold coins! In addition, Xiliang also deliberately concealed the extremely common papermaking technique in the Central Plains, and the empire also used precious sheep paper rolls for writing. I am very envious of Xiliang's production of thin paper.

The main reason why Xiliang was able to raise 300,000 cavalry was that in addition to grasping salt and iron, Cao Yun. It also vigorously grasped papermaking and textiles.

Every time they think that the assassination failed, but contributed to Xiliang's "modernization", the girls became more and more resentful, and they couldn't wait to eat Xu Yunfeng alive.

God is pitiful, Fan Heming, who is in charge of Xiliang's people's livelihood and economy, actually rebelled against Xiliang and was imprisoned in this courtyard. They had heard that those bad ideas had the shadow of this Xiliang Tiger Deer, so they secretly plotted to assassinate this scholar once.

As for the assassination of Sima Qi, who is notorious and loves to skin people, and Yang Tingxiong, who is scary to watch. They just think about it. It's just a pity that it didn't succeed several times, and the closest to success was to cut Fan Heming's sleeve, and then wipe the knife. But he couldn't touch Fan Heming's clothes again.

The assassination was unsuccessful, but the girls were subjected to the seedlings, not because Xu Yunfeng made it difficult, but because Fan Heming's family members who were like flowers and jade quit. Standing in the courtyard with his hands crossed on his hips, pointing his nose and swearing. Every sentence became more and more ugly, and then he went to the king of Xiliang, and the leader was still a blind girl, and I heard that her face was the bluest and her tone was the most ruthless.

The girls beat drums in their hearts, will Xu Xiao, who slaughtered the city and exterminate households in the war, go on a killing spree and kill them all, although it is hard to live now. But it's better to die than to live, and things have taken a turn for the better. However, this turn of events made them even more resentful, because it was Xu Yunfeng who came forward to intercede.

Today, the girls got up early, and before they had time to feel the sun and time, they were forced to go to textile and papermaking.

Fan Heming also got up early, sorted out the books in the house a little, took them out one by one, and then put them in a sunny and airy place. When it was neatly placed, he stood up and stretched his waist, twisted his neck, looked down at his bulging little belly, and unconsciously smiled slightly bitterly.

Then he grabbed a copy of "Participation in the Deed", found a sunny place to sit on the ground, dipped one hand in his mouth, turned a page and read it.

He hasn't been so free for a long time, his life has been moisturized recently, and the routine of work and rest has been completely disrupted, so he gradually got a little blessed, his stomach bulged slightly, and he has been looking through the books that he has wanted to read but has not read all these years, and he has thrown them away after reading them, and he has been sloppy for a few days.

"Jingshi Jimin" is the reader has always put in the heart of the words, his wish is relatively small, through the Xiliang Shiji Xiliangmin, if you talk about it, Fan Heming most respected is still the court scholar Chen Xian, not because he Fan Heming has a "Xiliang Xiao Chen Xian" title, but because he is a real sage, open-minded, hard work, so the great changes in the capital, he felt the deepest is the sudden death of the scholar.

Not far behind Fan Heming, Sima Qi, who was dressed in gray, pushed open the doors and windows, looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky, and unconsciously showed a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Without a burden, this Xiliang Tiger Snake often shows a smile, and there is a hall in the compound, and the hall is a place to eat. Fan Heming and Yang Tingxiong often ate in the house, but when Sima Qi arrived, he walked out of the room and into the hall.

The girls have all heard of the ferocious nature of this tiger snake, killing people without spitting out bones, afraid in their hearts, hiding far away, often can see Sima Qi alone occupying a table chewing slowly, and the girls are huddled together.

Sima Qi has changed, and sometimes he will go out of the house and nod and smile when he sees a girl who is busy and hurried by. For some reason, he tried to smile kindly, but the girls ran away faster.

Wow, the killer Sima Qi smiled at me, and he smiled so insidiously, there must be nothing good about it.

This cage compound is a cage after all, and some girls planned to escape at night for many days, but they were all brought back by Sima Qi. Escaping from prison is the most unbearable thing for Xu Yunfeng, so the girls don't escape from prison easily.

The next day, I got up in fright, thinking that Sima Qi had already been high-minded, and he was ready to accept Xu Yunfeng's baptism of storm, but he never thought that everything would be calm.

The girls didn't think it was Sima Qi's kindness, but that he was brewing a bigger conspiracy.

Looking at Fan Heming's back, Sima Qi suddenly had a lot of conversation, swept lightly, came to Fan Heming's side, and came with him with a gust of wind and a few books flying.

Fan Heming sighed faintly, stood up with great difficulty, and trotted to catch up with a few books. I picked it up one by one, carefully blew the stains on it, and snorted coldly. He put the books away from the beginning, sat back in his original position, and continued to read his books.

After waiting for a long time, Fan Heming didn't speak, Sima Qi pondered the opening sentence for a while, and finally picked out a sentence that he thought was very suitable, but it was the most stupid opening sentence: "Old Fan." Read a book. ”

Fan Heming rolled his eyes and put the book on his lap: "I don't know when you were blind." ”

Sima Qi was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head. Prepare to turn around and leave.

However, Fan Heming suddenly wanted to chat: "Sima Qi, you won't take the initiative to chat with me on weekdays, since you take the initiative to chat, you must have doubts in your heart." Just ask if there's anything. ”

Stop. Sima Qi turned his head from the beginning, and didn't know how to speak for a while, and pondered for a long time: "Old Fan, is it that I have the word bad guy written on my eyebrows, why are these girls hiding far away when they see me?" ”

"Hahaha." Fan Heming couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his finger to point at Sima Qi, "When did Sima Qi care so much about other people's feelings about him?" And it's the same group of girls? ”

The more Fan Heming thought about it, the more he cola, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting he felt. Suddenly, he stopped laughing: "No, you Sima Qi don't want to talk to me about this. It should be something more important. ”

Sima Qi couldn't hide it at a glance, and sat on the ground at the same time as Fan Heming, shoulder to shoulder, although the two are both Xiliang Five Tigers, in addition to fighting side by side on the battlefield, but there are few intersections in private, let alone sitting side by side like today, since it was stabbed, Sima Qi did not hide: "I want to leave Xiliang, travel all over the world, and continue to write "Historical Records". ”

Fan Heming's face was serious, he didn't have the ridicule just now, and straightened his face: "Sima Qi, it's not that I, Fan Heming, look down on you, some things and books are destined, the right time, place and people are indispensable, not what you want to do, Chen Nuonuo only learned above Lin Wan'er, but his talent is insufficient, "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "The Story of the Stone" can only be written by Lin Wan'er, and only Lin Wan'er can do eight poems in one night, not for any other person, even if you only learn the sky, you can't get it." It is much more difficult to do learning than to practice martial arts, respect for the father and Confucianism, tenacity, others can not compare, "Historical Records" is more inclusive of ancient and modern, exquisite writing, precise wording, before the "Stone Record" is not finished, even if there is only half a fragment of the book, it can also be called the first strange book. Although you Sima Qi is smart and forbearing, but you may not be able to continue, if you are careless and become a dog's tail mink, your Sima Qi is not a glorious ancestor, but you will lose the face of Sima Taigong. ”

"I also knew about it, so I thought about it for a while before I made up my mind. My father's talent is eternal, I can't compare, I just want to be able to go out for a walk, see more, these years in my heart there is anger, now my heart is clear, often think of my father at that time to urge the study of things, the more I think about it, the more I want to go out, to see. Lao Fan, this is not a hypocritical move on my part of Sima Qi's enlightenment, but I really want to go out and get out of Xiliang. Sima Qi showed a different smile on his face, as if he remembered something pleasant, "If my father is here, I should be able to chat with Lin Wan'er very well, just thinking about it, I feel that the scene is very harmonious." ”

Fan Heming laughed silently, and agreed with what Sima Qi said, Sima Taigong is rigorous in his studies, upright, serious and serious, and others look a little weak, not to mention talking and laughing, and his father-in-law has been subjected to Sima Taigong's board. Lin Wan'er belongs to the character of babbling and messing around, but she is unparalleled in her talent, Sima Taigong respects, and will tolerate Lin Wan'er very much with a smile, saying that tolerance is not accurate, but love the house and Wu, Lin Wan'er's every move is a reasonable move that a talented woman should have, and Lin Wan'er has a "special preference" that makes others laugh and be frightened.

"Now that you've figured it out, when are you going to go?" Fan Heming asked.

Sima Qi looked in the direction of Xiliang Wangfu: "I will get up in a few days, first go out of Xiliang and turn around and go to southern Xinjiang, first write a geographical chronicle about southern Xinjiang, and then go to the sea to the south to see the scenery of Nanyang overseas." I don't have the face to go to see my father-in-law, and I don't know what to say when I see it, so I will trouble you to relay your words of farewell to my father-in-law. ”

After saying that, he was about to get up and leave, Fan Heming was busy pulling the corner of Sima Qi's clothes: "Don't, Sima, I can't do this kind of thing." Now Xu Xiao is waiting for the two of them to talk to his father-in-law in the small vegetable garden of the palace, but the two of them have never known how to go.

Sima Qi wanted to break free of Fan Heming's hand, but Fan Heming grabbed the corner of Sima Qi's clothes, and the two argued.

Suddenly, the two of them stopped their movements at the same time, raised their heads and collectively looked up in the direction of Shangjing, where there were two breaths rising to the sky, and the sky was full of light, as if they would be able to break through the sky and break through the sky in the next moment.

The door of Yang Tingxiong's room was kicked open from the inside, and the Xiliang Tiger Wolf suddenly jumped into the courtyard, sliding a few meters on the ground with his feet, looking at the brilliance there: "Ha, there are people in Shangjing who are fighting, if you guess correctly, it should be related to the Zhenbei Army." ”

Since the civil strife in the palace, he has been hiding in the room, the more he thinks about it, the more annoyed he becomes, the whole thing comes down, it seems that everyone has their own troubles, only he is for fame, fortune and power, Sima Qi has resentment in his heart, Fan Heming is for his beloved, Zheng Tuo is for revenge, and even the white-faced scholars and old women from southern Xinjiang have their own purposes. Only he is in order to be famous in the world and compete in the Central Plains.

So he was ashamed and didn't want to go out to meet people, so as not to be laughed at.

But just now he felt the momentum of Shangjing City, he couldn't sit still and broke out of the door.

"Sima Qi, Fan Heming, at this time, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and go to the capital. Yun Feng and Wei Song will definitely not sit idly by at Xueyong Pass, and they will definitely go. At that time, even if the Zhenbei Army does not make it difficult, it will be difficult to ensure that the imperial court will not be poisoned, they hate Xiliang, if we don't go, wouldn't it be for them to underestimate it. Yang Tingxiong shouted at the top of his voice.

Sima Qi and Fan Heming glanced at each other, and each shook their heads together: "It's thousands of miles away from the capital, even if you ride a fast horse, it will take at least three days and three nights, and when we get there, the daylily will be cold." ”

Yang Tingxiong sighed and sat on the ground: "What should I do then?" Can you just wait? ”

Fan Heming smiled, picked up the books one by one, hugged them to his chest, and patted them gently: "It's not that there is no way, it's just that it's very dangerous, and I'm not completely sure that I can get to the capital accurately." ”

"Whatever you do, you should always give it a try." Sima Qi said.

"Old Yang, what about you? Are you willing to die once in a lifetime? Fan Heming asked.

"Less nonsense."

Fan Heming threw out the books in his arms one by one, seemingly random but extremely regular, one by one the books hung without falling, forming a circular gossip in front of everyone's eyes, like a mirror, and in the middle of the mirror is a constantly rotating whirlpool, like a tunnel connecting another direction.

"It turns out that you deliberately lost to Wei Song by Yingxue Lake that day." Sima Qi opened his mouth and jumped in first.

Fan Heming and Yang Tingxiong followed, disappeared together, and headed towards the colorful clouds in the upper capital. (To be continued.) )
