Chapter 123: A Bowl of Wine, Many Years Late

As the national and economic center of the Great Wei Kingdom, Shangjing City is brightly lit at night, and the streets and alleys are still full of people, and many night market turnstiles are open at night.

There is a night market not far from the Lin family's courtyard, which is very lively as the sun sets and the lanterns come on. On weekdays, when she has nothing to do, Lin Wan'er always takes her family to the night market to rub it, and the food is not very healthy, but it is enjoyable.

Among them, the food that can arouse Lin Wan'er, Chen Xiaoxiao and Qingzhu Niang the most is durian crisp, which smells a little weird, but it is extraordinarily fragrant when eaten.

After eating fried noodles, Lin Wan'er mentioned yƬ to go to the night market for a visit, thinking that everyone would respond to the call and wave their hands to say goodbye, but no one agreed, asked the reason, and everyone said that they were tired, tired, and wanted to go to sleep.

Lin Wan'er didn't believe it, pointed at Chen Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, you are a night owl, and you haven't gone out today, why are you tired for a while?" ā€

Chen Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly in her heart, not everyone is like Sister Wan'er, who can still be calm and laugh in front of King Xiliang and the general.

With a squeak, Song Duanwu was holding a small bowl, Lehehe pushed the door in, opened his mouth and asked, "Miss Wan'er, do you have any garlic at home, give me one or two?" "I am such a big man in my own small courtyard, I have a rough life on weekdays, I don't have trouble if I don't bother, two steamed buns, a pot of wine, and two garlic heads can make do with a meal.

But unfortunately, there was no garlic at home today, so I came to the next door to borrow two heads, but Song Duanwu looked up at the hall, and the whole person was like a lightning strike. The small bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, his lips trembled, and he shouted: "Brother Xu!" ā€

The smile on Xu Xiao's face suddenly froze. Standing up, he was so excited that he couldn't help coughing, and asked, "Dragon Boat Festival?" ā€

The old man of Song Duanwu knelt on the ground with a thud, put his head on the ground, suppressed his excitement, and shouted: "The old character battalion of the Xu family army Tiger Head Battalion Song Duanwu knocks to see the general!" ā€

There are thousands of generals in the Great Wei State. But the general is only available in Xiahou Xiangyang, but the world doesn't know that there is also a great general in the eyes of the old man of Xiliang, that is, Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang. The Xiliang Army has experienced several twists and turns. In the end, the current 300,000 tiger and wolf division was formed, and it has always followed the original number, but there are new and old ones.

Xu Xiao walked to the door, bent down and stretched out his hand to help Song Duanwu, who was leaning on the ground. But it didn't work out. Song Duanwu was like a stubborn old scalper, clinging to the ground and refusing to get up.

Xu Xiao let out a long sigh: "I know you're angry with me, but Dragon Boat Festival, do you know if you go to Shangjing City and go to your old brothers first, what the court will think, and what Pan Chunwei's group will do." ā€

Song Duanwu whimpered without raising his head and said, "Brother Xu." Am I still afraid that others will frame me? ā€

Xu Xiao looked at Song Duanwu in front of him: "You're not afraid, but I'm afraid." The many brothers who have come together from the chaotic era, counting and counting, there are only thirteen of you left. ā€

Leaned over again and stretched out his hand to help Song Duanwu up, this time Song Duanwu did not resist and stood up, but his face was full of tears.

"I'm sorry for you!" Xu Xiao said with guilt on his face.

At that time, Xu Xiao, as the first general of the Great Wei Dynasty, stretched out his hand to stand a group of brothers who could deliver life and death, the most famous of which was the Thirteen Shenxing Taibao, with outstanding military achievements, unparalleled in the world, how many times the sword mountain and the sea of fire went back and forth, I don't know how many times I saved Xu Xiao. Zhao Jiancheng imprisoned the families of hundreds of civil and military officials, none of the families of the Thirteen Taibao were spared, and all of them were killed, Princess Xiliang was also missing, Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, had entered a state of semi-madness, and there were rumors that Xu Xiao had established himself as the king in Shangjing, and the message of "killing Xu Xiao" has not been broken. At this time, the Thirteen Taibao stood up, at the cost of their lives, painted the ground as a prison, brought their own shackles, knelt and begged not to kill Xu Xiao, before the Jinluan Palace, the thirteen people were ready to die, but it was His Majesty who had just woken up from a coma to stop it, so Xu Xiao was able to continue to put on armor and go to the Weishui with His Majesty, and signed the "Weishui Alliance" to buy time for the Great Wei State to recuperate.

The Central Plains is Dading, the world is peaceful, and the imperial court is facing a problem, whether to let Xu Xiao go north to fight against the Xiongnu, or go west to seal the king of Xiliang? At that time, there were different opinions, but the most popular solution was to "kill Xu Xiao", because Xu Xiao's skill was high, and there were countless brave generals under him, among which the most supportive of "killing Xu Xiao" was the current prime minister Pan Chunwei, and it was the thirteenth Taibao who unloaded his armor and returned to the field, and stood up to protect Xu Xiao.

So, Xu Xiao traveled west to be crowned king, and the thirteenth prince remained in Shangjing. The imperial court arranged different positions to be assigned to the Thirteen Taibao, but they were rejected one by one. Among them, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army in Shangjing City was specially reserved for Song Duanwu, but Song Duanwu disdained it and was eventually replaced by Cao Wei. What is the Guards? The Imperial Forest Army is an army that surrounds the security of the imperial palace, and His Majesty left it to the Song Dragon Boat Festival, which shows the importance attached to the Song Dragon Boat Festival.

Zhao Qian and Lin Wan'er used their flying wings to escape from the palace and hide in the small courtyard, Cao Wei once had a fight with Song Duanwu, and Cao Wei showed respect for Song Duanwu at that time.

Song Duanwu stood up tremblingly, with a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying: "Brother Xu is not sorry for our brothers, this is something that the brothers are willing to do and should do." If it weren't for Sister Xu doing what we didn't dare to do, our brothers might have died of shame and depression. ā€

Things you don't dare to do? Lin Wan'er was very curious, what the Thirteen Taibao didn't dare to do, what would it be, it must be an earth-shattering thing.

Xu Xiao and Song Duanwu walked into the hall, Song Duanwu glanced at Xiahou Xiangyang, who was sitting upright, and bowed slightly: "General." ā€

Xiahou Xiangyang got up and saluted back, and said, "Old general." ā€

Although Xiahou Xiangyang and Xu Xiao are a little overt and secretly disagreeable, but Xiahou Xiangyang still has a lot of respect for the Thirteen Taibao, and someone said back then that half of Xu Xiao's first battle in the Great Wei Dynasty was because there were thirteen people standing behind him.

Song Duanwu sat down and asked a little embarrassedly: "Miss Wan'er, are there any noodles, and I haven't eaten dinner yet." ā€

Lin Wan'er laughed: "Of course there is, there is no problem with eating as much as you want." ā€

Xu Xiao smiled and poured a bowl of wine for Song Duanwu. Picked up the wine bowl: "Brother Dragon Boat Festival, this bowl of wine is so late for so many years, I, Xu Xiao, am sorry for the brothers." ā€

Song Duanwu was flattered again. Tears rolled in his eyes, like a child, he wiped his sleeve indiscriminately, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, and swept away the resentment and resentment that had accumulated in his heart for many years: "Brother Xu, I am not the kind of person who has a good head like Fan Li, but I can also understand the good intentions of the eldest brother." But sometimes I can't get over that hurdle when I think about it. ā€

Fan Li? Lin Chengping, who was present, was slightly surprised in his heart, master of the art of war, the defense line of the Zhenbei Army defending against the Xiongnu now is based on the debate between the general Xiahou Xiangyang and the second prince Zhao Shuoxiang Fu in the first year. However, it was Fan Li's rich and refined, and on the basis of the Fengyan Fengsui system, he created a "roundabout operation" that specifically dealt with the Hun cavalry. Commenting on the top ten masters of the art of war, Xiahou Xiangyang is the first, and the former dynasty horse soldier saint is the second. The third of them is Xu Jiajun Fan Li. Someone once said. The five major battles in the pacification of the world, the three and a half battles in which Xu Jiajun participated were all made by Fan Li, if it were not for Xu Xiao's willingness to be trapped in Shangjing City for the prisoners, there would still be Fan Li's figure in the Chibi Water Battle.

"Brother Xu has been in Xiliang for so many years, and he has never asked about the life and death of his brothers, nor has he exchanged letters, and he seems to have forgotten all the brothers on the surface, but I know that Big Brother is really good for us. I'm afraid that if I get too close to us, I will annoy the court. Let them think that we are against us and have poisoned us. Hmph, but they don't know who wants the world to be peaceful, it must be Brother Xu! Song Duanwu said with some sadness.

Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, was born recklessly, poor since childhood, had to join the army, fought countless defeats, and his mother from Shu to the Central Plains, his mother died of illness, and wanted to be buried in his hometown, Xu Xiao carried his mother into Xishu, and since then he has also fallen into lung disease, often coughing, because he has experienced that period of hard life, so Xu Xiao wishes that the world is peaceful.

"These are all Fan Li's sue to me, and it is also he who mentioned that we will not accept the official position of the imperial court." mentioned Fan Li, Song Duanwu was indignant: "But this old boy seems to be very addicted to life in the capital, he licked his face in private and asked the court for an official and a half position, and he also married a wife, it seems that he really wants to live a small life in the capital." ā€

Xu Xiao sighed: "I know all these things you said, Dragon Boat Festival, you think about Fan Li doing this for your good." At the beginning of the world's decision, how could Pan Chunwei's group of people let you hold power, those are all tempting you, so Fan Li doesn't let you accept it. Fan Li married a wife and concubine and accepted officials, which was also for the court to see, the purpose was to let the court know that I, Fan Li, were tired of deceiving me, and if I wanted to live a good life, don't bother me. ā€

Song Duanwu slapped his head: "Hey, think about it, Brother Xu is right, I have been ignoring that old boy for several years, and every year the wine that the kid sent me was thrown out by me, it seems that he is really to blame." I said, the relationship between Fan Li's kid and Rong'er was so good back then, how could he have the heart to marry a wife? ā€

Rong'er is the personal maid of Princess Bai Su of Xiliang, who is beautiful, Yushu Lingfeng and famous Fan Li fell in love at first sight, but Rong'er didn't look down on Fan Li, it was Fan Li who wasted his strength, and used every possible means to marry Rong'er home with the help of Xu Xiao and Bai Su. On the day of marrying Rong'er, in the barracks, hundreds of thousands of people witnessed it, and Fan Li, who had a handsome face and had always loved face, swore and said: "I, Fan Li, will wash Rong'er's feet for the rest of my life." Rong'er was so ashamed that she was so red that her ears were at the root of her ears, but the yin and yang were separated, and the oath became a broken promise, and the broken promise became a dead word.

Qingzhu Niang brought up the fried noodles, Song Duanwu was hungry and drank for a while, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ā€

Qingzhu Niang was helpless, there was no more, so she could only say: "I'll do it again." ā€

"If it's troublesome, don't do it." Song Duanwu said.

"No trouble!" It was not Qingzhu Niang who said this, nor Lin Wan'er, but Xu Xiao, who has always regarded himself as his master.

Song Duanwu said in a low voice: "Brother Xu, it's not good to be like this, we are guests after all." ā€

Xu Xiao thought for a long time: "Yes." ā€

Suddenly, several people practicing martial arts in the hall looked up at the small courtyard door, and finally Wei Song stood up and said, "Father-in-law, I'll go out for a while, and solve the internal emergency." ā€

Xu Xiao nodded.

Lin Wan'er wondered: "Brother Wei, there is a toilet at home." ā€

Xu Xiao explained with a smile: "Wei Song is a rough person, he is not used to the toilet at home, and he can solve it by going out and finding a corner." ā€

Wei Song smiled apologetically, walked out of the small courtyard, gently closed the small door, his momentum changed, his figure flashed, and suddenly came to a man in black, put one hand against the head of the man in black, and gently pushed, the man was like being struck by lightning, abruptly retreated, retreated again and again, and fell into the wall, splashing a burst of dust, life and death were uncertain.
