Chapter 313: War is imminent
Yun Xiang saw that the Zhou family was really in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Mother, don't be in a hurry. Yunsheng, it's not that we don't want you to go, but the Great Xia Dynasty has a rule that men under the age of fifteen are not allowed to go to the battlefield, and martial arts are specially for the purpose of selecting talents to go to the front line, so people who are not old can naturally not participate. ”
This is also something that Yun Xiang only learned from Gu Mo later. I have to say that the Great Xia Dynasty is still very humanistic. Men who are too young will not be allowed to fight the battlefield and leave hope and a future for the country.
Liu Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt as if he had been hit, and he had no energy. He muttered in a low voice, "Few of those fifteen-year-olds are taller than me, stronger than me, and better than my martial arts!" ”
Yun Xiang pursed her lips, this is the truth. Yun Sheng is not only good at martial arts, but also can see celestial phenomena and understand formations. If you go to the battlefield for a period of time, you must be able to become a famous general. But...... He was indeed too young.
"Brother, can you tell us what you know? Nanyue is just a small country, and now that the Great Xia Dynasty is gaining momentum, how can it suddenly break the border? ”
"It is said that Nanyue Kingdom has taken a fancy to a few cities on our edge and wants to take them." Liu Yunyang was afraid that everyone would not understand, so he explained, "Nanyue Country is mountainous, and only the national capital and a limited number of provincial capitals are on flat land. Other towns and villages are built at the foot of the mountain or halfway up the mountain. They have little grain to grow, but there are many silkworms, and the weaving and embroidery are unique. When I was in the border city, I often saw our merchants from Great Xia and Xihua, who went to buy those things. And the merchants in Nanyue are mostly buying grain from us. ”
Originally, the cultivated area was small, which restricted the development of national strength. Yun Xiang nodded. "It seems that this lord wants to develop agriculture well. It's just that there aren't enough places. So I made up my mind to hit Da Xia. ”
"According to what you say, their Nanyue national strength is not good, and their food is limited. How dare you go to war? Liu Yunsheng listened from the sidelines and didn't understand.
Yun Xiang thought for a moment, "I heard that the population of Nanyue is small, but the people are strong. Men and women, young and old, can go to war with a weapon. Moreover, they are proficient in some crooked and evil ways, and they are very vicious, and our Great Xia has also suffered a lot of losses on them. ”
Otherwise, the ambition of the two emperors of Xihua and Great Xia. It has long been divided up several small countries in the vicinity. The reason why the current pattern is left is naturally because they don't trust each other and are afraid that the other party will stab each other in the back. It is also because these small countries also have some of their own dependence.
A meal, the first time everyone ate such silence and seriousness. Yun Xiang saw that Zhou's heart was heavy, and comforted, "Mother." This is the capital. Even if there is a war on the border. It won't affect you in the slightest, don't worry about it. ”
"I don't know why, but I was upset when I heard the news. How could I not have known that it was far away from me? Zhou sighed, "I'm such a backhouse woman who doesn't understand anything, I really don't have anything to do with it." ”
After Yun Xiang pacified the Zhou family, she took Xue Yue to the guest house where Shangguan Wenqing lived.
"Huh? How do you have time to come to me? Today's Shangguan Wenqing no longer has the depressed and depressed appearance he had at the beginning.
Yun Xiang glared at him unceremoniously, "How long do you plan to stay in my house?" Isn't your new inn the least lacking in rooms? ”
Shangguan Wenqing touched his nose in disdain, "Why do you have to drive people every time you see me?" Haven't I yet reached the goals I set for myself? I swore it. If you don't make some achievements, you won't leave. ”
"Alright. I don't know you yet? Aren't you just afraid of being caught by your son? Yun Xiang sneered.
"If you know everything, why do you always drive me away? My father now has a new sustenance, and he is gearing up to cultivate a talent, and there is no shortage of such an unfilial son as me. Shangguan Wenqing thought that his father had taken seven or eight concubines and gave birth to five or six children in the past few years, so he couldn't help but want to burst into foul language.
Yun Xiang also knew his helplessness, so he didn't continue the topic, "Don't talk about this, I still have something I want you to help me think about this time." ”
"Oops! My aunt and grandmother! Is there anything else! "Shangguan Wenqing is afraid of Liu Yunxiang, he was a dou who couldn't support the wall in his last life, and all his experiences were spent eating, drinking, and having fun. It's not a big deal, how can you remember it.
"It's definitely a big deal this time!" Yun Xiang became serious, "Do you remember what happened to Chun Xiang last time?" Like stabbing or something? ”
"How can I know this?" Shangguan Wenqing couldn't cry or laugh.
Yun Xiang also thought so, but just asked more. If the emperor is assassinated outside, he will definitely not be able to make a noise. lest the people left behind in the imperial capital take the opportunity to be restless. Shangguan Wenqing's father is just a fourth-grade official, and there should be no rumors of this kind of confidential matter.
"Then do you have the impression that Great Xia will be at war with Nanyue Kingdom?" I'm afraid no one will know about this kind of thing, right?
Shangguan Wenqing was stunned and frowned, "I have the impression that there is, why are you asking this?" ”
"And what time do you remember? Is it this year? Yun Xiang asked.
"I can't remember this year!" Shangguan Wenqing saw Yun Xiang's tiger face, and said helplessly, "I am drunk and dreaming all day long, how can I remember it so clearly!" But Daxia is sure to win! ”
"Approximate time! Give me a thought! Yun Xiang couldn't help but pat the table. This person is really embarrassed to say the situation in his previous life so naturally.
Shangguan Wenqing took a deep breath and recalled very seriously, "Yes, I remember...... When I heard the news, I was on a flower boat...... Ahem, that, I'm talking to Oiran Peng Jinniang about poetry. ”
"Getting to the point!" Liu Yunxiang said angrily.
"That day was the first time I was her guest of the scene, and she greeted me in a smoky purple cloud fei makeup satin brocade with a hundred flowers and butterflies, and a snow-white fox fur cloak on the outside! Right! On that day, she came to the flower boat I packed, and I asked people to place a few more braziers in the boat hall in order to watch her dance! "Shangguan Wenqing remembered it, it seems that he still has a very deep memory of this period." That's right, I only found out when I heard those women talk about it! ”
Okay, you are a young master of a four-rank official family, and you have to listen to these female prostitutes in the land of fireworks for this kind of thing, and you are really drunk. (To be continued.) )
