When the young man in the green shirt heard this, he stopped playing with the lid of the tea cup, shook his head slightly, and said, "He is not a person who is good at these trivial things, so he ran into the taboo of that noble man so quickly." However, he is a talent on the horse, presumably the noble man just wants to give him a warning this time, and there will still be a day when it will be activated. ”

The middle-aged man's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said, "What's the matter, both of them have worked in vain?" ”

The young man in the green shirt put the lid of the teacup back on the teacup, stood up and walked to the middle-aged man, stood side by side with him and looked into the distance, and said lightly after a while: "From the perspective of time, Xue Ding will return earlier than Yan." Those who come back later may never return, and those who return early may not stay long. Who can guess what will happen next? ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man glanced at the young man's side face, and smiled a little coldly: "If you have straight words, don't sell them." ”

The young man smiled and said, "The final outcome of this qiē depends on that nobleman, if he is a person who likes to move, he feels that this chair is not wide and stable enough, and he wants to fight again while he is young, Yan will definitely come back." And if he moves, Xue estimates that he can't sit steadily, in the end Xue is just an attachment, and his best choice is to follow that person wherever he goes. ”

The middle-aged man nodded, and after a deep groan, he said, "It seems that no matter what, it's good."

He didn't finish his words, but the young man seemed to know it in his heart, and said naturally: "I know a little bit about your doubts, but it's still too early to make plans, maybe that noble man didn't think about it so much." When the young man arrived, he pointed to the wall under the city wall that was being repaired, and continued with a smile: "That noble man is very protective. ”

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "Listening to what you say, it seems to have another deep meaning." ”

The young man sighed lightly and said, "Not everything needs to be figured out with such a complicated mind, maybe before someone's unintentionality, your excessive intentions will seem to be quite unintentionally vacated two positions, how you want to arrange it is not difficult, the tricky thing is that you must be ready to give up." Maybe a few years, more than ten years to prepare a thing, when the time comes, you have to throw it, and you have to throw it so that no one knows, throw it lightly. ”

"Throw it lightly, and you really have no mouth. In a few years, if the thing I threw away knew that you told me to throw it, I don't know how it would be spit on you. The middle-aged man smiled lightly, seeing that the young man was smiling and silent, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Lin Shan's junior brothers, although the styles are different, the routines are very similar!" ”

"I believe in my choice." A rare Yan sù for young people. He turned his face sideways, a chill flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled heartily again: "Nothing else matters compared to the right or wrong choice." After finishing speaking, he still had a voice in his heart: Senior brother, do you understand when you travel far away? ——

Yan Lu went to Qingzhou, which is stronger than wearing a sin and a crime, but if it is compared with Xue Zhong, it is almost the same as the meaning of sending a military force. But after all, he is a military general with meritorious service to the country, and the emperor who is now in power is a new monarch, and Yu Zhongchen needs to use both grace and power, so he will not be so harsh. You have to travel a long way, and you have to prepare for what you should prepare, so Yan Lu delayed for a few days, and everything was ready before leaving.

In fact, Xue Zhong left two days earlier than him, because Xue Zhong went to Nanxia, and those in the know know that this is a punishment, obviously let Xue Zhong go to enjoy the blessings, just bring something with him, and in the end he will be reappointed in Kyoto!

Nanxia is an inland city directly south of Akigu, and although it is not as prosperous as Kyoto, it is also rich in products. As soon as Xue Zhong left, there were courtiers who joked behind their backs that if His Majesty really wanted Xue Zhong to eat vegetarian, the last place he should order was Nanxia.

When Yan Lu first left the city, Xue Zhong's team had already traveled more than 200 miles from Kyoto, and it was only about 100 miles away from Nanxia. It's just that when the carriage arrived at the interface between Guannan Road and Jingbei Road, and saw that the next thing was the Nanxia Official Road, which was flat and wide to catch up with Jingguan Road, Xue Zhong stopped the carriage and jumped out of the car.

The captain of the guard beside the accompanying carriage hurriedly jumped off his horse, bowed to Xue Zhong, and then raised his head and asked, "My lord, but is there something wrong?" ”

Xue Zhong said: "Scoop me the drawings of Nanxia." ”

No matter in which country, the drawings are undoubtedly state secrets, but for a military future of Xue Zhong's rank, in addition to military powerhouses, except for special periods, and in relatively peaceful periods like now, it is not difficult for Xue Zhong to get the drawings of some counties and counties. And this time I came to Nanxia, on the surface, I was punished, but in fact, the emperor personally pointed out, and there was already a copy of the map of Nanxia.

The drawings were quickly scooped in, Xue Zhong opened the drawings and looked at them carefully, then sighed and muttered: "Alas, this picture is really stingy, and I can't figure it out if I don't enter the main city." ”

The captain of the guard whispered when he heard this: "My lord, it is actually not difficult to follow the official road, and my subordinates listen, the official road in the South Gorge is smoother and more comfortable than Kyoto."

Xue Zhong smiled and quipped: "I still listen to the beauty of Nanxia fish and turtles, and the girls of Nanxia are handsome." ”

The captain of the guard was stunned, but immediately understood, coughed dryly and said nothing, and the embarrassment on his face flashed.

Xue Zhong put away the drawings, handed them back to the captain of the guard, and then jumped onto the captain's mount.

Seeing this, the captain of the guard hurriedly threw the reins of the horse in his hand to Xue Zhong, but he also asked with a puzzled expression: "My lord, who are you?" ”

Xue Zhong took the reins and led the horse around in place, looking like he was about to gallop, and said to the captain of the guard: "This way in the car, the butt is about to sit hard." I am about to enter the South Gorge, and when I see the beautiful scenery of this green mountain and low water, I want to slip through this green mountain and low water first, and breathe some turbidity. When I entered the South Gorge, even if it was like this, I am afraid that it would not be like now, with this kind of carefree feeling. ”

Xue Zhong had a lot, but none of them were to the point. But the captain of the guard is not a coward, there are so many adults, enough to save face. Since there are some things he doesn't want to pick out, he has to pretend to be stupid appropriately. As a non-royal chief of the guard, knowing some things is still a scourge that is not good for himself. However, as the chief of the guard, you have to do your best, regardless of whether the master appreciates it or not.

So the captain of the guard did not say anything more, but presented his horsewhip, and then added: "My lord, this mountain and forest are dense, do you want to send a few people to follow you?" ”

Xue Zhong patted the horse's spine and said with a smile: "It's okay, with your treasure horse, I'm afraid that there will be a few bandits?" Walk slowly with the carriage, and don't disturb me. ”

When the captain of the guard heard this, he suddenly remembered that Xue Zhong had only lost a Jin Ling horse a few days ago, and the horse that looked small under his seat was actually the bloodline of Jin Ling Horse. However, this golden bell horse does not have the pure bloodline of Xue Zhong's original golden spirit horse, but this is already regarded as a favor from the saint to himself, and this is all thanks to the fact that he is the captain of Xue Zhong's guard. But now looking at Xue Zhong's expression, this horse is going to change hands.

Although he knows where his position is and can't fight for anything, he is willing to give it up, but in fact, it is still a little unstraightforward.

He hung his head and was distracted, and when he looked up again, Xue Zhong had already patted his horse and walked away.

Although the South Gorge is located in the south of Zhaoguo, it is actually a mountain basin geographically, but the name of the South Gorge is because of a large Qingxia that crosses the South Gorge area.

The Qianling Snow Mountain, northwest of Zhaoguo, melts a large amount of snow every summer and autumn and gushes out to the East China Sea, forming the Great Qingchuan River in the places it passes. Instead of flowing to the West Sea and the South China Sea, the snow turned a big bend into the South China Sea, and the reason was that the Daqingchuan River bordered the Daqing Gorge halfway.

This Grand Canyon walking in the two continuous mountains, like a heavenly axe, retains the snow-capped mountain Tianquan that wants to go west with a tough attitude, and circles a large circle in the inland south of Zhaoguo, nourishing this place where the temperature and land of Zhaoguo are the most stable.

When the water rises in the summer and autumn, the depth of the inner gorge is unfathomable, and there are sometimes water surface spiral nests formed by deformed areas, and ships of all sizes are in danger of driving. There are many rocks and few trees on both sides of the canyon, and the mountains are as steep as a cut, and only birds can cross them. However, in winter and spring, most of the time it is a shallow beach, so the spring outing in Daqingxia has become a favorite outing activity of the people of Nanxia.

The literati of Nanxia, including the entire Zhao Kingdom, also like to come to Daqingxia in the spring to explore the secluded poems, in order to express their respect for this Daqingxia, which coexists with grace and power and is like a god in the hearts of the people of Nanxia, leaving a lot of poems.

At this time, the sun is on the third day, and the place where the Daqingchuan and the Daqingxia border form a plugged lake, because of the dry water in winter and the lack of rain in early spring, the water recedes to only half of it. On the vast shallow shores of the lake, withered reed leaves swayed in the wind, making a tiny cracking sound, while the sunlight shattered into golden sprays. When the dead leaves are blown low by the wind, you can vaguely see the tips of the tender reed seedlings that grow from the roots of the reeds.

On a sandy road a hundred feet away from Saishui Lake, a gray carriage gradually slowed down.

Lin Shan slowly lifted the curtain, and outside the carriage, the bright afternoon sun sprinkled in without hesitation, but he raised his hand to block it. That night a few days ago, after planning all day and night, and after leaving the city, I had been worried about not being able to get a good rest, and my eyes were quite dry by this time.

Only when his eyes gradually adjusted to the midday sun did he jump out of the carriage. When the coachman who was driving the carriage saw him get out of the carriage, he also followed closely, but when he saw Lin Shan silently gesture to him, he had to sit back on the carriage again. Seeing him standing beside the carriage and looking around, the young coachman stopped talking.

At this moment suddenly there was a baby's cry in the carriage, and then the cry rose like a tide, until a woman's soft hum began to calm down the baby's cry.

Hearing this, Lin Shan hurriedly approached the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked inside, and at the same time asked Wen Yan to the people in the carriage, "What's wrong?" ”
