Chapter 158: The Wild Goose

The weather in the capital is really much colder than in the south of the Yangtze River, even if it has entered spring, most of the ice in the river has melted, but there is still a little broken ice floating, and it still feels cold. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

When the sky was slightly bright, the big red lantern hanging on the door flickered leisurely, the faint yellow light fainted little by little in the gradually brightening sky, and the civil and military officials who had dispersed walked out of the palace gate in a whispered conversation in twos and threes. One of the figures, not wearing official uniforms, was dressed in dark embroidered cloud-patterned Hangzhou silk, and there was only a cloak on the outside, and walked out slowly in the cool morning breeze. Different from the cringe of others, he was dressed so thinly, and he didn't seem to notice the slightest chill, his steps were calm, and his demeanor was leisurely.

He didn't speak, but the man next to him walked and talked, and he just listened politely, nodding his head from time to time, or whispering in response. When he arrived at the palace gate, the man stopped, looked at him with satisfaction and smiled, "Geng Duwei...... Oh! No! Maybe it won't be long before it's time to change his name to Commander Geng. However, with the friendship between our two families, I will call you a good nephew. Virtuous nephew! You are young and promising, and you have military achievements, it stands to reason that it is best to stay in the Northwest Army, but the time is not with me, you might as well obey the destiny of heaven. These five cities of soldiers and horses defend Gyeonggi, and they have a heavy responsibility, and they are not competent for people who are not close to His Majesty. Although this commander is only a positive sixth grade, and is not as good as your previous position as a captain, the virtuous nephew is a wise man, and he should know how to measure the ineffable in this. So I took my leave. ”

"Lord Xu, please." Sending each other away, in the gradually brightening sky, the face of the young man in Xuanyi also became a little brighter, with clear outlines, long eyebrows and sideburns, bright eyes, high nose bridge, thin lips and half pursed, although he seemed to be smiling, but the eyes were very light, it was Geng Xiwu who had grown from a young man to a great man.

Seeing the slightly chubby figure in official uniform get into the carriage slightly awkwardly, Geng Xiwu withdrew his hand and stood up straight, the last trace of the already faint smile on his lips was erased in an instant.

"This surnamed Xu is really embarrassing, this is here to invite credit? If you become this bullshit commander, you will have to be grateful to him? It was a burly man, with a thick beard that almost covered most of his face, but his eyes stained red with anger became more and more sparkling, and he glared fiercely at the direction of the carriage's departure, and spat hard at the ground.

Geng Xiwu glanced at him lightly, didn't say a word, just tossed and turned the two hands behind him and clasped them together, facing the morning light, a pair of eyes, but deep as the night.

"Master, the letter of the fifth girl." There is another person, if Lan Xi is here, he will definitely be surprised and unbelievable, because it is actually Geng Changfeng again, whether it is his appearance or his indifferent temperament, it is the same.

Geng Xiwu raised his eyebrows, took the letter, unfolded the letterhead, and looked down at it. After a while, the corners of his mouth were almost invisibly half-curved, and he leaned over curiously to take a look, but he frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "What are these five girls writing?" The first half of the sentence is fine, I recognize the words, but when combined, I don't know what it means. As for the second half of the sentence, yes, I can't recognize all the words. You said that these five girls, can't you write a letter that people can understand? ”

The apathetic and silent man was still pestled like a piece of wood, and he didn't even lift his eyelids. But the heart is already galloping, is that for you? If it is written to you, it will naturally be written plainly, as long as you can read it. That's written to you, okay? If you can't read it, can you not understand it?

"I asked you to read more books on weekdays, but you didn't listen." Geng Xiwu's response was to roll the letter into a tube and hit someone's skull, but the paper roll was too thin and light, someone's bones were too hard, and the skin was thicker, and he didn't even feel the feeling of tickling. Geng Xiwu hated iron and steel, but when he thought of the letter in his hand and the person who wrote the letter, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull up, and he raised his head, and the morning light just broke through the clouds, and it seemed that it was also pouring out people's eyes as deep as the sea in an instant, and the elegance was unparalleled in an instant. "Let's go! Chang Mo, Lao Cui, the weather is good today, we haven't raced a horse for a long time, why don't you compare with the previous one? ”

"Good! Who's afraid of whom? If you lose, please drink. "The beard that is called Lao Cui deserves to be called a refreshing one.

Geng Changfeng's twin brother Geng Changmo quietly raised his eyebrows, his grandfather, which one is this singing?

On the second day, the news that Geng Xiwu, the fourth prince of the Yasukuni Marquis Mansion, was now being taken over as the commander of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division by the military department's squire Lang Baoju, rode through the downtown area, disrupted the public order in the capital, endangered the safety of the people, and also rammed the female dependents in the carriage of the Anjun Palace. It is said that the king of Anjun was very angry, so he turned out the court clothes that were sunk at the bottom of the box and had accumulated a layer of ashes, and went to the emperor with a handful of snot and tears.

At first, the squire of the military department also defended that it was a misunderstanding, but who knew that Geng Xiwu apologized, but people were stunned and refused. In the end, he was angered by the young man's temper, and he scolded him angrily, and by the way, he dismissed the previous military squire's guarantee, and named Empress Jia's nephew, Jia Junfeng, who served in the Praetorian Guard, took over the position of commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and Geng Xiwu, because of the previous disturbance of the security of the capital and the loss of honor in front of the latter palace, was ordered to go home and think about it behind closed doors for three days, and after three days, he was waiting for disposal. Everyone privately guessed that if Geng Xiwu didn't happen to be surnamed "Geng", this latter one would be enough for him to eat a pot, and he wouldn't have picked it up high like today and put it down gently.

When the news came back to Huzhou, a few more days had passed, and Lan Xi listened to it, and his heart had been hanging for several days, but he quietly fell to the ground. It seems that the senior brother is still very sober. In any case, at this time, whether it is a brave retreat from the rapids, or a taoguang to raise obscurity, it is smarter than being roasted on a fire.

It's just that Lan Xi's breath didn't last long. However, two days later, Precious came to the door with a worried look, saying that Lu Zhan suddenly fell ill. Lan Xi remembered the wind and cold that lasted for more than a month after the year before the New Year, and still felt palpitations, and his face changed at the moment, while telling Qin's mother and Pillow Yue to pack up their things, he rushed to Qingming Residence to ask the third wife for permission, and when he was able to say it, he returned to Xianyayuan, and he didn't stay for a moment, and hurriedly left the house with his packed things and Qin's mother, Pillow Yue, and Liuyan, and rushed to the Sanliu Lane.
