CHAPTER XXVII
This oolong incident really embarrassed me, but fortunately, I fulfilled the big boss family and helped Li Yin give birth to a son, which is also a merit and worth the trip.
Yuan Gang said that the six people who followed him were all people who wandered the rivers and lakes without wives and children, and they were alone without worry, and after following him, they knew the sweetness of life. Now Yuan Gang's wish for Li Yin has come true, and he wants to go back to Lin'an, the capital of Linzhao, with us to visit his parents, the fifth son is unable to go with him because of a broken rib, and he has been getting along well with the people on the side of the big boss in the past two days, so he chose to stay in the village, and there are four other people left behind, only the third son chooses to go with Yuan Gang, and the third son is the person who held the sword that day, his real name is Guan Feng.
On the third day after coming to the village, the wind was mild, and the five of us went on the road together and went to Lin'an.
It takes about five days to travel from Gushan to Lin'an day and night, and seven days if you rest on the road, which is a shorter distance between Gushan and Lin'an, during which you need to pass through towns; If you avoid the town, it can take seven days to travel day and night. In this way, we naturally chose the shortest route through the town.
Yuan Gang originally had a goatee, but he ran into An Lu, the plague god. An Lu has little hair on his body, and since he has known him, he has never seen him grow a beard, so he is extremely unpleasant to see a man grow a beard, the most typical is Shi Mo, most of the reason why Shi Mo has always maintained a clean face is because An Lu nagged it. Therefore, although he was not familiar with Yuan Gang, this could not stop An Lu from liking and disliking vicious language, and under An Lu's verbal offensive, Yuan Gang chose to compromise and shaved off the goatee on his face.
Yuan Gang, who shaved off his beard, is a little less tacky and more delicate, which makes me feel refreshing, and I have to admit that for me, the handsome man makes me look more relaxed.
For example, Shi Mo, such as the green fan, such as... Liu Ye.
Shaking his head violently, how could he think of that man again.
At this time, we were galloping on the road, and Lian'an was riding behind me, so she could see the movement of my head shaking clearly, and she said, "Childe, is there any discomfort?" ”
I smiled back and said, "It's fine." ”
An Lu glanced at me and said, "We have been on the road for two hours in a row, and we will arrive at Shuiquan Town in another hour, while it is still early, it is better for us to find a place to rest, people do not rest, always let the horse stop." ”
The crowd agreed, and the matter of rest was decided, and a group of five sat on the ground under the shade of a tree in the forest.
After sitting down, Yuan Gang said with some sorrow: "I didn't expect this riot to be so strict." ”
Along the way, the most people we saw were the people displaced by the riots, and the most tragic images we saw were the corpses of men, women and children lying all over the ground. The people who had left their hometowns gathered together, took the baggage with the baggage, and pushed the cart with the cart, and went to find another place to live. And those who died, no one was buried, and the violent corpses were in the wilderness** all eaten by jackals.
Speaking of the riots in Linzhao, I am afraid that it has something to do with the royal family. There are a total of twelve sons under the knee of Linzhao Guojun, of which the seventh son is said to be born to a folk woman, this folk woman is not an ordinary person, I heard that she has a lot of status in the rivers and lakes, and has also attracted others to follow. She died shortly after giving birth to her son, and before she died, she only begged the king to treat her child well. Linzhao Guojun agreed, and he did it, and he has always attached great importance to these seven sons.
This is particularly important, look at it and see that things are coming, Linzhao country adopts the law of succession, if the king of Linzhao dies, the successor is the eldest son, even if the eldest prince is incompetent, no matter how good the other sons are, it is useless. Therefore, unless all the six sons in front of him died, there was basically no possibility of these seven sons inheriting the throne. Helplessly, the monarch spoiled the seven sons too much, so that the seven sons did things without measure, and even thought of plotting for the dynasty, and the plan of this series of positions was not thorough, and his deeds were exposed, and he was ruthlessly imprisoned by the monarch.
This rebellion is not a **** of the king, nor is it a rebellion that broke out in one place, but a rebellion in many places at the same time. As I said before, the mother of the seventh son was a person from the rivers and lakes, and after the seventh son was imprisoned, the riot started. Shi Mo guessed that this riot was for the seven sons.
I said lightly: "The power is above, who cares about the life and death of the people?" ”
An Lu glanced at me sideways and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Xiao Lanmu to have such a big picture, which is commendable." ”
Yuan Gang nodded in agreement and said: "When I was still a lieutenant, the most strict thing was natural disasters, and the people were famine due to the lack of food, and they robbed the rich merchants of grain. I didn't think that it had only been two years, but there was such a ****, they robbed everywhere, regarded human life as ants, and killed men and women of all ages at will, resulting in corpses all over the field, this atrocity is simply outrageous. ”
After speaking, Yuan Gang had clenched his fists.
I said: "When you return to Lin'an this time, don't you just want to serve the country, remember such a scene, and do your best not to let the tragedy happen again in the future." ”
Yuan Gang looked at me fixedly, and he said: "Yes, you are right, I swear, as long as I am in the court for a day in the future, I will try my best not to let this situation recur!" Then he looked at me and praised: "I can't imagine that you have such an opinion at a young age, and your future will be limitless, do you have any ideas to come to me?" ”
I smiled and said, "Passing the award is just from the perspective of a bystander." Speaking of age," I paused, glanced at my third son, Guan Feng, and continued: "I have always had a question I want to ask, but I am afraid of being abrupt. ”
Yuan Gang said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
I took a breath and finally asked the question that I had been holding back in my heart for a long time: "Ahem, in terms of age, you are as old as An Lu, only about twenty, why do they call you big brother instead of Guan Feng?" ”
Yuan Gang replied: "What is the problem of my Tao, it turns out to be this." Linzhao is still martial, so in Linzhao only in terms of martial arts, regardless of age. They couldn't beat me, so they called me big brother, but it was just a title. ”
At this time, An Lu suddenly said: "Then Xiao Lanmu beat you all over, don't you want to call him big brother?" ”
Yuan Gang chuckled, there was no disdain in his smile, but there was more unclear affection, he said: "Although Lan Mu's martial arts are unfathomable, they may not be able to beat me, if you insist on fighting me, you may end up with a lose-lose result." ”
Seeing that An Lu was going to find fault again, I quickly took out a pot of self-brewed wine, the green fan was addicted to alcohol, and I didn't want to go out to buy it for him every day, so I learned to make my own wine, fortunately, the taste was good, the green fan was used to drinking, this time I came out of Yueqiu, and I brought two pots on my body. After throwing the wine to An Lu, I said: "Because Oolong owes you a meal, I brewed it myself, and it is cheaper for you, so you can make less fun of me." ”
An Lu's eyes lit up, he took the wine jug, smiled from ear to ear, and said, "When you grow up, you know how to bring wine to your brother." ”
After An Lu finished speaking, he immediately opened the wine in his hand, raised his head and took a sip, the aroma of the wine overflowing.
Yuan Gang looked at it and didn't feel red, looked at me pitifully, and said, "How can this wine be so fragrant..."
Let An Lu divide the wine in his hand, it is no different from asking for his life, but Yuan Gang has said everything about this, I feel embarrassed if I don't give it to him. So I brought out another jug of wine and reluctantly handed it to him.
Seeing my behavior, An Lu jumped up suddenly, snatched the wine jug I handed to Yuan Gang, and said angrily to Yuan Gang: "This wine is owed to me by Xiao Lanmu, so give me a jug, how can you hairy young man He De drink the wine he brewed himself!" ”
Yuan Gang saw that the wine jug in his hand was taken away, and his eyes were full of regret. After a while, he saw him dodge, and the wine jug in An Lu's hand was changed to his hand. He quickly raised his head and took a sip, shook the wine jug in his hand at An Lu, and said triumphantly: "It's really delicious!" ”
