Chapter 55: Sit and Wait
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Ma Yue has always stayed in the prosperous and extravagant city of Luoyang, he always feels that he has not done enough, he can work harder, and he has to go to the next level.
But Cai Yong told him that it was too much.
"Too much to ......"
It's night, a bright moon hangs high in the night of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the melodious Qiang flute is facing the moon, Ma Yue sits on the eaves, alone.
It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he is stranded in a place like Wu County.
He can't go back to Liangzhou, and he can't go back to Luoyang.
Like all travelers stranded in a foreign land, he sat alone on the roof on such a night, feeling sorry for himself.
Qiang flute, Qiang flute, whenever I hold the Qiang flute, I can't help but feel a sadness in my heart, maybe because the first time I heard the Qiang flute, it was accompanied by a fight, maybe because it was a musical instrument belonging to the wrangler, or because it was ...... The girl who loved to hear him play the Qiang flute was no longer there.
Since he walked out of Zhangshan, his life has been full of turmoil, and what can he do to keep Cai Yan peaceful forever.
He can't make any promises, he's just a taller pavilion that can help his partner jump. They are a group of little barbarians who are not looked down upon by the world, trying to climb higher in this world, and he must climb higher with his companions.
Born in the well, they all want to be illuminated by the sun, and they long to one day be able to walk on the royal road of Xuanwu Avenue in Luoyang City with their heads held high, so they are not afraid of killing and killing.
Scheming took away Wei Zhongdao, defeated Liu Bao in piano and martial arts, and Cao Mengde, who was always on guard against non-divisive thoughts, endured the humiliation brought to him by Zu Lang, scolded Wu Chenghao and Yan Hu, and killed Yan Yu, who was a feud. Even...... He even got Cai Yan's heart of admiration for a moment.
But what did he use to change the weather-beaten Cai Yong's stability?
While he himself enjoyed the night breeze that brought her a moment of peace.
Suddenly, in the night breeze, he heard the sound of a flowing piano in the backyard, a sound that he knew all too well.
This is the beginning of a laugh in the sea.
And who is the hand who plays the harp? Is it Cai Yan who he thinks about for a long time, or Cai Yong who rejected him, or Gu Yong who listens to Qin Shanji?
He didn't know what he could care about until now.
With his arms on his pillow and the sound of the piano, Ma Yue fell asleep on the eaves of the Jiangnan Water Town.
……
Yan Hu came, taking his most gorgeous longship parked in the harbor.
"Did Brother Ma pick up the word? Just now, I heard Yuan sigh and call you Jun Hao. ”
Yan Hu took his arm and invited him out of Gu's mansion, and took a carriage all the way out of Wu County to the port and got on the long boat.
Ma Yue was distracted, sat on the boat and suddenly came back to his senses, and smiled embarrassedly: "Well, yes, Mr. Cai just gave me the word yesterday." ”
"Tut-tut, Mr. Cai personally wrote and taught me to be envious." Yan Hu shook his head and shook his head, and said with envy on his face: "Mr. Cai wants to give me a word, and he is willing to be a cow and a horse." ”
Ma Yue pretended to be a matter in his heart, and just asked casually, "Do you respect Mr. Cai very much?" ”
He didn't see that Yan Hu had some respect for Cai Yong.
"Respect? I don't know much about Mr. Cai, but I just listen to the name and respect. Yan Hu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I can't understand a lot of what his old man said, and I won't know what his old man knows. ”
"Hey." This Yan Hu is self-aware, Ma Yue asked: "Since the eldest prince knows this, why do you still worship under Mr., why do you still want Mr. to give you words?" ”
"Ugh." Yan Hu scratched his head, clapped his hands and called the singer Youling in the boat, asked someone to add some tea and snacks, shook his head and smiled embarrassedly at Ma Yue and said, "It's okay not to mention it." ”
Ma Yue nodded and chuckled, just watching the singer dance, he knew everything.
"Lang Jun smiled, they are all prostitutes, you haven't seen anything from Luoyang, I don't understand these music and dances, you just look at it." Yan Hu laughed with him, drank a glass of wine and said: "Actually, I don't say that you can guess it, it's just that I want to use Mr. Cai's fame to get in touch with more people. Begging for a living on the river is not a long-term solution after all. ”
Ma Yue lowered his head, in fact, he really hadn't seen it. Over the years, the swords and swords have never stopped, where is the leisure and elegance to watch the song and dance...... He only saw Cai Yan playing the piano for him.
"Yes. I know how you feel. Ma Yue said with emotion: "I also felt this way when I was in Liangzhou a few years ago, and I felt that it was not a long-term solution to raise two hundred soldiers for Thorn Shi and raise horses all day long, so I went to Luoyang, I can understand your feelings." ”
"Jun Hao, I'm not wrong. In fact, I envy you very much, you have the support of nobles along the way. I didn't have that life. Yan Hu shook his head, laughed at himself and said: "I am Wu Cheng Haoqiang, but I am a ruffian hooligan, I also want to study, and I want to go to Luoyang last year to try my luck, maybe there will be big people who can take a fancy to me...... But I can't help it, I can't go. ”
"Why is that?"
"It's not Ayu, it's not a secret, my brother has an extreme temper and always wants to cause trouble. It's okay to be on the streets when I was young, both of my brothers have the strength of their arms, even if they offend people, they are just the leaders of some gangsters in the market, my brothers have long knives in their hands, how many people come to beat us, but who have you been afraid of? ”
"But this is a different time, alas." Yan Hu sighed, quite a feeling of a tiger falling into Pingyang, and said with a wry smile: "Now that the family has more than a dozen boats on the river, and his reputation has increased, idlers dare not provoke him when they hear his name, but I am still afraid in my heart, if I provoke people again, it may not be a problem that can be solved by knives, guns and sticks." So in recent years, I've been walking like I'm walking on ice, and I've been advising him not to get into trouble with bad people. If I go to Luoyang for those things, he can't do it alone. ”
"So I can only stay here and be the elder brother, and the younger brother will always protect him when he commits a big thing."
For some reason, when Yan Hu said this, Ma Yue found that he had a little smile on his face, which looked like his own eldest brother. But for him, these words did not feel doting, but outright fear.
He knew what an older brother could do for his younger brother, and he was afraid he couldn't sit still.
"By the way, what about Brother Ling?" Ma Yue sighed in his heart, and pretended to be concerned: "Why don't you see Brother Ling, haven't you found it yet?" ”
"Well, my subordinates heard that someone saw him out of the city with a crossbow a few days ago, maybe he went into the mountains to hunt, Ah Yu's playful temperament has not changed, and Lao Junhao is worried."
Ma Yue nodded and forced a smile. The things in his heart were messy, he asked Yan Yu to borrow a carriage, and drove across the bend of the river into the city alone.
He was going back to the Gu Mansion and asked if his weapon was ready.
