Chapter 052: The Wind Rises
Dozens of cold and killing breaths rose from the ground, thick as a hundred-year-old giant tree, like a long rainbow running through the sun, crossing the sky, and the clouds on the horizon were stirred and rolled, as if boiling.
Li Mubai faced Zhao Gan's questioning, did not speak, and moved forward gently, blocking in front of everyone again, like a high mountain.
The hunchbacked old man who had been raising horses in the palace for ten years, his body moved slightly, leaving an afterimage, and the next moment he came to the wall of the palace, holding his hands behind his back, and looked at the people in front of the door coldly.
An old man with cloudy eyes who was guarding the door in the backyard of the palace got up from the rocking chair, stretched his legs and feet, and came to the door in an instant.
A stern old woman in charge of the purchase and sewing of the palace's ** shirts narrowed her eyes slightly, and a few people moved to the front of everyone, staring at Li Mubai.
The seven-foot man who chopped firewood every day in the Snow Mountain of the palace to supply the firewood of the palace fell from the sky with a huge axe in both hands, like a huge meteorite smashed on the ground.
On weekdays, the sharp-mouthed man who nods his head and is missing two front teeth when he sees people, restricts the cynicism on his face, and a strange-shaped sword flies out of his sleeve, and the person moves with the sword and comes in the air.
The silent man who was tasked with raising a falcon for His Royal Highness the Prince raised his arms slightly, and the falcon on his arm spread its wings and flew, and he jumped lightly and stepped on the eagle.
The old-fashioned man who specializes in the management of 10,000 koi fish and lotus leaves in the middle of the lake in Yingxue Lake in the palace has his hands in a false position, as if holding up a lake of water, and the figure gradually disappears, and the next moment, he has come to the door of the palace.
A one-armed sweeping old man with one arm missing, tilting his head slightly. Glancing at the direction of the palace gate, he sighed and picked up the broom that had been sparse and unshaped. Towards the door.
……
Dozens of people were distributed in different directions, forming an angle between each other, and at the forefront of the momentum was facing Li Mubai in white, everyone saw Li Mubai's extraordinary, and secretly raised the internal force to the peak. They were very confident, confident that they would be able to whirlpool with this white-clothed sword immortal for a while, waiting for the team to arrive.
King Xiliang pacified the world. The purpose is to find the princess Bai Su, and the rivers and lakes are on the rivers and lakes. Not all the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes are iron-clad, and with the ambition of "the children of the rivers and lakes die in the rivers and lakes", many famous people in the rivers and lakes are willing to bend down and bow their heads to become slaves.
And the Xiliang Mansion also built a shelter for this group of people in the rivers and lakes. became the caretaker of the home. It's not that there are no people in the rivers and lakes who have had other thoughts, but without exception, they were either skinned by Sima Qi and lit the sky lantern, or they fought a fair battle with the tiger bear Wei Song, and were picked by the other party and broke their hearts and smashed their heads.
Lin Wan'er tiptoed, jumped over Li Mubai's shoulder, and looked at the dozens of people who suddenly appeared. She couldn't see the extraordinaryness of these dozen people, but she knew that two fists were hard to beat four hands. The reason why there are many people is easy to do, I thought about the proportion of people in my heart, yo, yes, there are many of us, some of this fight, and when I rush to Xu Xiao, I will ask a good question first, and then a big-eared melon seed will be slapped on Xu Yunfeng's mouth, it is best to fan out the two front teeth, and breathe a sigh of relief for Sister Su and Baoyu.
She took out the Shang Fang sword at her waist, tore off the veil on the big hat, hid herself, and did a woman's demeanor, and said in a cold tone: "Rush me, whoever stands in the way will not be recognized by his (her) parents." ”
The two hundred people were ready to go, and they took three steps forward, always following the footsteps of the Lin family, and never leaving for a moment.
The people of the palace did not back down, and took three steps forward with a mop and broom, swearing to defend the palace to the death.
Lin Wan'er couldn't hold her breath the most, babbling in her mouth, and rushed forward brandishing her sword.
The dozens of people nodded to each other, and at the same time, they attacked Lin Wan'er together.
Li Mubai's eyes were cold, as if dozens of Li Mubai suddenly appeared in an instant, blocking Lin Wan'er's body respectively, and all of them blocked the attacks of dozens of people.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the dozens of people didn't move, and Li Mubai didn't move, only Lin Wan'er rushed up with a sword in his eyes, and the dozens of people were secretly surprised in their hearts, this boy in white was so powerful that he blocked everyone's attack without much effort.
As a party, Lin Wan'er only felt that there were a few gusts of wind blowing around her for no reason, in different directions, blowing away her tied hair, stumbling under her feet, showing a "big" character on her body, lying on the ground, the sword in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, and the big hat on her head was still crooked to the side, covering her eyes.
Zhao Qian hurriedly ran over and helped her up: "Grandma, be careful, it was still magnificent at the beginning, and it flew down three thousand feet at once, and it fell directly to the ground." ”
Lin Wan'er staggered and stood up, straightened the crooked big hat, picked up Shang Fang's sword, and rubbed her arm: "It hurts me to death." Zhao Gan, don't stand and talk without backache, you have the ability to rush! ”
Zhao Qian looked left and right to see that Lin Wan'er was fine, and said lightly: "I have no ability." ”
Her ugly appearance actually eased the tense atmosphere invisibly, and she and Zhao Gan directly pushed the atmosphere to a mysterious scene with a light and ethereal conversation.
Everyone in the palace looked at each other, this person is here to be funny.
The team of 200 people accepted it calmly, and it was not strange to see more of this kind of scene in the future.
Brandishing the sword again, Lin Wan'er "got on the horse" again: "Everyone rush me!" ”
"Click", the sound of horses' hooves tapping on the street continued to sound, a horse galloped from the end of the street in Liangzhou, and came to the gate of the palace in a few moments, Wei Song turned over and dismounted, and shouted to everyone in the palace with a cold face: "All retreat!" ”
Everyone knew the status of the tiger bear Wei Song in Xiliang, although there was some injustice in their hearts, but they all slowly retreated, dozens of masters who took care of the home and nursing home, exhaled a long breath in their hearts, and their figures gradually disappeared, but the old woman who was in charge of the purchase and sewing of clothes in the palace glanced at the monkey not far away.
Wei Song clasped his hands into fists, with a wry smile on his face: "Miss Wan'er, your trick of marching at night and entering Liangzhou in batches is really powerful, you actually concealed the defenders around Xiliang and entered Liangzhou City, Wei Song only knew your whereabouts." ”
"Brother Wei is polite." Lin Wan'er said. glanced at Baoyu beside him, and then looked up at the tall stone statue of Sister Su, and the grievance and anger in his heart overflowed again: "Brother Wei." Please lead the way in front, I will go to the prince of Xiliang and let him see that I brought Baoyu to Xiliang safely, hum! ”
Wei Song sighed in his heart, Xiliang's matter could not be explained in a few words, but he could understand Lin Wan'er's thoughts very well, and he didn't say much. Leading the way in front, the group entered the palace.
The 200-person procession also wore a lot of carriages. Unable to enter the palace with a threshold of three feet high, the steward gestured with a few eyes, and everyone waited outside.
Lin Wan'er, who was holding Baoyu's little hand and had already crossed the threshold, noticed that everyone was still standing in place, and turned her head to stare at her: "What are you still doing stupidly." Why don't you hurry up and keep up? ”
She has always remembered the ancient adage that more people are easier to do. Don't fight with the people in the palace for a while, only to find that there are not enough people.
Two hundred people were a little scared, but also a little excited, Xiliang Wangfu in the Central Plains is called "purgatory on earth", three steps and one soldier, six steps and one sentry, I heard that anyone who went in and idle people did not come out alive. The previous ministers didn't see what the Xiliang Wangfu looked like at all, and they were tossed by His Royal Highness the Prince of the World. There is also one of the weakest ministers, who didn't even pass the snow pass, and was directly bombarded back to the Central Plains by Xu Yunfeng with soldiers and horses.
Everyone gritted their teeth and made up their minds. She followed Lin Wan'er into the Xiliang Palace.
Lin Wan'er has been to the palace, but also to the Jing'an Palace, the palace is majestic and wide, endless, the eaves are fighting, the rows are scaly, showing the royal majesty, the Jing'an Palace is luxurious and rich, the pavilions and buildings are dizzying, one step at a time, Lin Wan'er got lost while walking.
The Imperial Palace and the Jing'an Palace are the extremes of the two landscapes, and the Xiliang Palace, which is in the middle, the scene is neither empty nor crowded, and it is beautiful and pleasant.
The palace is in the south of Liangzhou, half surrounded by the mountain, the mountain is called Snow Mountain, and in the north of the Snow Mountain, there is a bay of lake, named Yingxue Lake.
There is an arch bridge on Yingxue Lake spanning the period, south of the arch bridge is the lotus leaf floating in the middle of the lake, each is like a pot lid, and the north is the koi in the middle of the lake, bustling, barefoot in the water, you can grab a few koi fish with a stretch of hand.
In the southeast corner of the lake, there are many reeds, and there is a pavilion in the northwest corner, in which there is a stone chair and a stone table, and a guqin is arranged on the table.
There is a plaque hanging on the pavilion, on which are engraved with four big characters - reflecting the snow on the west bank, although there is no antique taste, but it is also suitable for the occasion.
And between the Yingxue Lake and the Snow Mountain, is the stone statue of the princess who is gently held in both hands, full of compassion, the whole Liangzhou City can see its posture, and worship as a god, praying for good weather in Liangzhou.
The whole palace is built around the snow mountain and the snow lake, all kinds of well-known and unknown trees linger during the period, the flower garden is sporadically located, at this time the capital is already late spring, the flowers are like brocade, the wicker is green, and the west is still early spring, the green leaves of the flowers have not grown fat, and the willow branches have not drawn out the new green.
In addition, there are many orchards in the palace, and rows of fruit trees are scattered to create a different landscape.
Wei Song led everyone along the long corridor called "Houde Road", Lin Wan'er was angry, and she didn't care about watching the surrounding scenery, but just held Baoyu's little hand and walked forward.
Walking through Houde Road, passing through the Wangfu Zangjing Pavilion, turning a few corridors that cannot be named, the scene in front of me suddenly changed, several very ordinary civil wooden beam houses are located in them, the roof is still built with seaweed, the doors and windows of the house are very small, and ordinary people are no different, in the whole palace it seems a little nondescript, and the scenery is ruined.
This is the residence of the king of Xiliang, which is so simple that it is a little shabby, and there was a joke in Xiliang: "The residence of the king of Xiliang can't catch up with the horseman." "Those who have been to the palace with their own eyes know that it is not a joke, but the truth.
There is a large piece of land in front of the house, and the land is full of melons, fruits and vegetables, including cabbage, cucumbers, eggplants, loofahs, carrots, beans, and loofahs...... There is also a small peanut field, which shows that the owner of the land is very sad, and in this still cold early summer, this land is unexpectedly green.
A rich old man with a slightly hunched back and gray temples holding a water scoop in one hand and a bucket in the other, carefully watering vegetables, he took advantage of the little girls around him not paying attention, and secretly scooped a small scoop of cool and cool water with a water scoop, and poured a few mouthfuls.
He has lung disease, phlegm all year round, cough and terrible, avoid drinking cold food, the whole palace seems to be arresting him for stealing cold water, every time he is caught first, he always happily says: "Next time it won't, it won't." "But it will always happen again, how do you know the sweet taste of this cold water?
He is the King of Xiliang, the King of Xiliang of the Great Wei Kingdom.
Xu Xiao got up early, put on a single coat and went out, but as soon as he went out, there were two little maids waiting, and put on a thick shirt for the prince, the silk was purchased by the Lingzhou Weaving Bureau from Jiangnan Road, and after more than ten skillful hands carefully sewn for three months before he could enter Liangzhou and enter the palace, the clothes were embroidered with a pale yellow five-clawed python, and the momentum was solemn.
In addition to His Majesty's Nine Golden Dragons in the Great Wei Kingdom, only Xu Xiao is qualified to wear a python robe, and even His Majesty's younger brother King Jing'an is not qualified to wear a pale yellow python robe, and can only wear a blue four-clawed python robe.
Xu Xiao sighed in his heart, this gorgeous dress is too gorgeous, it is as smooth as water on the body, but it also makes people feel extremely uncomfortable, not as comfortable as coarse linen.
Stubborn but the two little girls with a very big temper, Xu Xiao could only put on the clothes, lift the wooden barrel, and fetch half a bucket of water from the well of the black hole in front of the door, carefully watering the melons, fruits and vegetables, thinking in his heart that the current season is a little early, if Baoyu comes later, these melons and fruits are ripe, if you want to eat them, you can open your mouth and chew if you want to eat them.
Stopping the work at hand, Xu Xiao wiped the sweat on his face with the expensive clothes, stood up and stretched his legs and feet, suddenly he trembled all over, turned his head and looked not far behind him.
Baoyu stood there, her small body was slightly thin, and her eyes were very similar to Su Su, full of spirituality.
A smile rippled on Xu Xiao's old face, he looked at Baoyu, pointed to the stone statue of Baizhang not far away, and said: "When I met your mother by the West Lake, she was holding water in both hands, looking very beautiful, I looked stupid, I swore that she would not marry in this life, and then I really married to the family, I was very proud and happy." I thought about it for a long time, what I was going to say when I met you, and finally decided that I must tell you about it. Today is a family reunion. ”
Baoyu also smiled, smiling happily.
At this time, Xu Yunfeng, who was far away in Liangzhou City, woke up with a hangover and a hangover, lying on the windowsill, his chin pressed on his hands, looking at the stone statue, gently pressing his hat and covering his eyes.
In Liangzhou, suddenly, the wind rose.
(PS: I watched Miyazaki's "The Wind" again today, I love Miyazaki very much, but my favorite is his "My Neighbor Totoro", the plot is not ups and downs, but it can capture people's hearts, the scene is light, the characters are light, the love is light, the family affection is light, and it is just right.) In addition, Xiliang Wangfu is described according to the campus of my husband's university, which is really beautiful. (To be continued......)
