Chapter 57: Windfall
Spring is already warm in the south, and the slight spring breeze in the north is still a little chilly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
To the southeast of Huadao Mountain, a breeze blew into a long-abandoned courtyard. The courtyard has white walls and blue tiles, and the huge courtyard shows the prosperity of the past. If it was the noble brother of Gaoqu, he would definitely be able to recognize that this was the famous 'Strange Goods Garden' at that time, but it has long lost its former richness. I heard that the owner of the Strange Goods Garden was summoned by King Chen, and then suddenly disappeared, and the treasures of the entire Strange Goods Garden disappeared, and even the plaque hanging in the door with gold and jade inlay did not know where to go. The war of Chen was chaotic, and the outer wall of the Strange Goods Garden was also stained with scattered bloodstains, as if the dead died in vain with the white wall as a monument, and the weeds that died in spring and autumn before the 'monument' were accompanied.
The sun was setting in the west, a red horse galloped past, and the weeds moved slightly, as if to disturb the souls of the dead on the 'monument'.
The person on the horse was only twenty years old, dressed in a moon-white robe covered with a scarlet cloak, so heroic, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, I thought it was a woman at first glance.
The red horse turned the mountain road, and then another brown handsome horse galloped forward, and the man on the horse covered his face with a hat, and the man restrained the horse, turned over and dismounted, and stared at the desolate courtyard and the blood stains on the wall.
How did the battle come to this place? Chen Xiu stroked the blood stains on the wall, and looked up again, desolate. Chen Xiu sighed in his heart, turned over on his horse again, and chased forward.
Geng Xiaoduo didn't want to say something, and Chen Xiu couldn't ask, but Chen Xiu wanted to know, and he had to know. That's why he pretended to follow Qiheng to Yukou, turned back halfway, caught up with Geng Xiaoduo, and wanted to see what she was doing, who expected Geng Xiaoduo to go all the way north to the territory of this Chen country.
Geng Xiaoduo went all the way north, and only arrived at Gaoqu City at dusk, it was late, and there was no place to rest further north.
Chen Xiu led the horse into the city and pressed the hat lower. The city's markets are not as lively as they were a few years ago, most of the shops have changed, and the pastry vendors in the gatehouse seem to be old, and there are still many unknown people who come and go.
Chen Xiu led the horse and walked quickly, and happened to pass by a restaurant, and a scholar was thrown out of the building. A big man walked out of the building, "Wu Guoren is not allowed to enter this store!" ”
The scholar got up softly, picked up the baggage, patted his clothes, and stumbled away, it seems that the fall was not light.
Pedestrians talked and pointed.
"It turned out to be from Wu Guo, no wonder, isn't this deserved!"
"What do you deserve? He is a scholar, just because he is from Wu State, he is so bad? ”
The man looked at the one in front of him, "Oops! You say that! Do you dare to go to the gate of the Wonder Park to talk about it? ”
Hearing the words 'Strange Goods Park', Chen Xiu couldn't move.
One person took over, "That's it, why don't you say it when those Wu people kill people?" Although Xianguo knocked down Gaoqu, he didn't slaughter the city and kill people. The beasts of Wu took advantage of the absence of the Xian soldiers to capture Gaoqu, but they heard that the Xian soldiers had made a comeback and ran away. When he ran, he took the men, women and children in the palace and said that he would take them back to Wu to settle down, but what was the result? Only Dao Hua Dao Mountain, they will all be killed! ”
"I don't know how many people I killed, but the walls of the Wonder Garden are still red!"
Chen Xiu's steps were heavy, and his walk became slower and slower. Who brought the soldiers at that time, you can find out at a glance. There is a debtor and a debtor, and this account will be settled sooner or later.
Chen Xiu took a deep breath and moved his steps again. Forward, there was a small guy leading a jujube red horse, the horse neighed, Chen Xiu came to his senses, looked up, and saw that the door plaque read, 'Go to the Inn'.
The jujube red horse is here, and Geng Xiaoduo must also rest here. "This was originally a private dyeing house, how did this become an inn?" Chen Xiu said with a smile.
The little guy on the side raised his eyes, saw someone coming, hurriedly greeted him, took the reins of the horse and shouted into the house, "Second brother, greet the guests!" ”
The running hall in the sackcloth shirt rolled his eyes, and he knew what to do when he heard the little guy shout. smiled and welcomed Chen Xiu in, and suddenly looked at Chen Xiu and was stunned, why did this person walk without a sound?
"What's wrong?" Chen Xiu stopped.
Runtang smiled and wiped the long table clean, "Please take a seat." ”
"Nope. One room, food and drinks delivered to the room. Chen Xiu said, and went straight to the second floor. After entering the room, Chen Xiu took off the hat. The afterglow of running the hall was swept away, and his hair was only half an inch long, so he should be a new monk.
However, after a long time, the wine and food were delivered, and the people who ran the hall were about to go out, but Chen Xiu raised his hand to stop them.
"How many years have you been in Gaoqu?" Chen Xiu asked with a smile.
"Does the guest know that I'm not from Gaoqu?" The running hall was slightly stunned, thinking and saying, "The guest officer is from Gaoqu?" ”
Chen Xiu smiled, "Didn't you say that Gao Qu's people were almost killed, if it weren't for the newcomers, Gao Qu would only be left with ghosts." ”
He only replied to the previous sentence. Runtang thought about it and looked up and smiled, "I can't say that." ”
"Then tell me what's going on, tell me what happened after Xianguo called, tell me who they led the troops and what they did." Chen Xiu said, his tone was urgent, and he directly dragged a stool and pressed the man to sit down.
The one who ran the hall couldn't help Chen Xiu, "I also heard this." When the Xianguo people called, it was their general Wei Wuyu who led the troops, and then Chen Guo surrendered, and the general came in and turned over the high canal, and he didn't know what to look for, and he didn't know if he found it, and then the general left, leaving a deputy general to guard the city. The defense of this high canal was empty, and Wu Guo took the opportunity to fight again. The state of Wu occupied the city, and a few days later heard that the battle in the south had been defeated, and the soldiers of the state of Xian were coming back. The people of Wu were in a hurry to leave, and when they left, they took away all the people in King Chen's palace, and then went to Huadao Mountain, stabbing one by one. The runner gestured, "Kill them all." ”
"Who is Wu leading the troops?" Chen Xiu said.
ran the hall for a moment, staring at Chen Xiu, "Why is the guest officer in such a hurry?" Does the guest officer have relatives who work on an errand in King Chen's palace? ”
Chen Xiu calmed down and smiled, "Yes, there are relatives on an errand." ”
The runner suddenly smiled, glanced at Chen Xiu again, got up and looked at no one left and right at the door frame, closed the door, and said in a low voice, "The guest officer wants revenge?" ”
Chen Xiu was slightly stunned, looking at the person who ran the hall, who is this person?
"Guest officer, this is a tacit acquiescence." The one who ran the hall said in surprise, and sat down again and pulled Chen Xiu over, "Guest officer, it will be difficult for you to take revenge, then it is the son of King Wu who leads the troops of Wu State." ”
Chen Xiu got up and glanced at the closed door, "Then I can't take revenge?" ”
"It's hard to get revenge." The expression of the running hall suddenly became solemn.
This man! Chen Xiu was shocked, originally imagined that he would inquire about the bloody case of the Strange Goods Garden, but he never imagined that he would meet a persuader. Chen Xiu's eyes looked around, "Dare to ask what revenge is good for revenge?" ”
"National revenge is good for revenge!"
Chen Xiu was stunned, "How can a national feud be retribution?" ”
"Uprising, restoration, revenge." The road of running the hall is loud sentence by sentence.
Chen Xiu was stunned for a moment, startled, turned around, rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled, "Dare to ask for directions!" ”
The one who ran the hall was also happy, "Your Excellency is really from Gaoqu?" ”
Chen Xiu nodded, "How do you know?" ”
"It's not from Gaoqu, how do you know that this place was originally a dyeing house?" Ran Tang smiled, and suddenly clenched his fists and said, "Although I am not from Gaoqu, I am indeed from Chen Guo." Although the Chen country is destroyed, the people of the country are endless! The Chinese people are endless, and the Chen country is rejuvenated! ”
Chen Xiu's heart moved, and he responded, "The people of the country are endless, and the country of Chen is rejuvenating!" ”
Runtang thought and smiled, "That's it." Under the surname Bai, the name is Zhongchuan, and others call me a second brother. Since you are a Gaoqu person, you must know the Snow Maiden Temple on the top of Tianxing Mountain. If you are interested, go up by yourself, and when you get to the name of Bai Zhongchuan, someone will surely pick you up. ”
Chen Xiu also hugged his fists and said, "Brother Xie Bai shows the way." If I have the heart, I will go, but I still have important things, and I will definitely go after this matter is done. Again, "Dare to ask, since it is the restoration of the country, who is respected?" ”
"Our son Chen Guo is not dead." Bai Zhongchuan laughed.
Chen Xiu was stunned. Kunwu: Have they been prepared? (To be continued.) )
