Chapter 23: Quail Poems

The autumn equinox is gone, the frost and the winter solstice tears are sprinkled on the spot, if Fang Sinian is not pulled by Zuo Yan, I am afraid that he will rush up to find Ning Xuangu desperately, Su Xi Chounu hugged the legs of the autumn equinox, and refused to let go, or Xu You was relieved, and then turned around angrily and ran away, refusing to come out until dinner.

Although the others are also reluctant, they all understand that the autumn equinox can be favored by Ning Xuangu, which is a rare creation, and the short separation is for a better reunion in the future, sad but not sad, and farewell with a smile.

Back in the courtyard, everyone looked at Xu You, for the rest of his life, all the subordinates were very concerned about his physical condition. Xu You looked around and said with a smile: "Ning Zhenren's medical skills are exquisite, after these few days of conditioning, he has already recovered, and he only needs to cultivate for a while after that, and there is no possibility of recurrence!" ”

There was silence at first, and then there was an earth-shattering cheer, and the faces of Wu Shan, Li Mu, Yan Yang and others were excited, and it was difficult to restrain themselves. If Xu You is sick at every turn, he will die at some point, and everyone will inevitably feel uneasy, and their vision and hope for the future will turn into a dream.

People live for a lifetime, talk about love and handouts, but in addition to love and righteousness, it is nothing more than the word fame and fortune, they believe that Xu You can give glory and wealth, so they are willing to go to the soup and fire, and trust each other with their lives.

But the premise is that Xu You must live, and something like Qiantang can't happen a second time!

"Okay, let's disperse, Lord Xun is fine, but there is a lot of rest. Look at the door, do your duty, and don't be negligent! ”

Zuo Yan is the head of the trilogy, he spoke, and everyone responded with a bang, smiling one by one, full of energy. When the trilogy dispersed, Xu You summoned He Wei, Zuo Yan, Dark Yao, Shanzong, Winter Solstice, and Frost to the room, which is his core team at present, and talked about what happened in Qiantang, and said in a deep voice: "Du Mingyu is really terrible, at that time, I was a fish and meat, and life and death depended on his words, but I had many private conversations, but I didn't show any flaws." Be cautious so far, the depth of the city is breathtaking. I really thought that he was adhering to the decree of Sun Guan, leading the Heavenly Master to start an incident, and wanted to conspire with the prince in the world, if it weren't for Ning Zhenren's guidance, he would still be kept in the dark and played by him. ”

"According to Ning Zhenren, the so-called six heavens, divided into six palaces, Du Mingyu is just one of the gods, it is already so difficult to deal with, it is conceivable that the other five gods must be even more tricky. When Ning Zhenren was leaving, he told us in every possible way to quit and be patient......"

He Wei paused and didn't continue, Xu You smiled and said: "What's the matter, you weren't such a character before, if you have something to say, don't hide it!" ”

"In my opinion, if Qiantang is released in advance, how to quell the chaos can be handed over to the imperial court, and we should not interfere. Of course, Su Tang's revenge must be avenged, but the enemy is strong and I am weak, now is not a good time to take revenge! ”

Xu You pondered for a moment, did not continue the topic, turned his head to look at the winter solstice, and said, "What are the rumors outside?" ”

It is rumored that after Xiaolang fell into the hands of the enemy, he was tortured and unyielding, so he was praised a lot. There are also people who say that Du Mingyu attaches great importance to Xiaolang's talents, and lures him with countless money, dozens of beautiful women with national beauty and fragrance, and a position second only to Sun Guan, but Xiaolang has a heart for Dachu, and always refuses to obey, and even does not hesitate to kill his wife to prove his chastity, and because he is too sad, he can't afford to be sick, and almost follows Su Tang under Jiuquan......"

"Killing your wife?"

Xu You only felt a tightness in his chest, as if he had been punched head-on, and he was a little out of breath. Shan Zong and Dark Yao are both parties involved, and they witnessed Su Tang's tragic death under Qi Huating's knife, but now they were pressed on Xu You's head, which was really angry. But looking at Xu You's expression, Shan Zong held back his anger and didn't speak, he sat still in secret, but he was very indifferent.

Dong Zhi said cautiously: "Yes, the matter of Qiantang Chengtou that day has spread all over Sanwu, and the head of Qiantou is so ignorant that word of mouth has passed on it, so that it is out of shape, saying that Su Tang is Xiaolang's sweetheart, although he has not passed the door, but he has agreed for life in private, and he is no different from his wife and concubine, but unfortunately fell into the hands of thieves and was used by Du Mingyu to coerce Xiaolang to submit." ”

It's no wonder that the rumors are out of shape, Su Tang and Xu You's romance affair spread all over Qiantang as early as last year, plus the scene in the city happened in front of everyone's eyes, after being preached by good deeds, the artistic processing of the general public, it is natural to make some lingering compassion of love and love life and death in line with everyone's imagination and preferences.

Xu You fell silent again, and after a while, he said, "Ten thousand open your mouth, how can you make a statement?" What other rumors are there? ”

Dong Solstice hesitated and said, "There is also some gossip, saying that Xiaolang is unkind, leaving Su Tang to escape alone, and then ...... Then ......"

"And then what?"

Then he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and sat back and watched Su Tang being slaughtered by the sword, but he was unwilling to save him. The so-called deep love is just a hypocrite, and the quail is not as good as ......"

Xu You smiled bitterly: "This is mocking me with quail poems......"

There is a poem in the Book of Songs, called "The Running of the Quail": "The running of the quail, the running of the magpie." People are unscrupulous, I think brother! The magpie is the gallop, the quail is running. People are unscrupulous, I think you are kings! ”

The poetry is concise and clear, the quail still flies, and the magpie is also in pairs, but this person has neither conscience nor kindness, how can he be a gentleman, even the quail is not as good, and the famous "birds and beasts are not as good" joke in later generations has great similarities.

Dong Solstice said angrily: "What do those gutless rats who only know how to rap know? Xiaolang and Na Su Tang just knew each other, but how many times have they helped her? Even after getting out of the thief camp, the first thing to think about is not himself, but to go back to save her, although in the end it fell short, but it is not human power to recover, in the case of them, they were so frightened that they burst into tears, that is the real quail! ”

Xu You's expression was calm, and he said, "The mouth grows on others, let them go!" ”

He Wei shook his head and said, "Qilang is bad! People in the world prefer to spy on privacy and scandals, and if they are fueled by people with ulterior motives, they may suffer from endless troubles. On the winter solstice, you go and secretly gather some storytellers, and let them spread the story of how Qilang fought wits and courage with the Heavenly Master Army, and how to spread the story of the eternal separation between the Chu State and the beloved girl Heaven and Man, so as to be based on the facts, slightly polished, and form a sweeping trend, completely overpowering those rumors that are not good for us! ”

No matter when, the war of public opinion is the top priority, especially when people have a heavy name and a thousand days, but there are endless examples of ruined cases, Xu You will certainly not let his reputation gradually collapse in the gossip that ignores the facts, but as a superior person, it is inconvenient to take the initiative to do some things, so it takes someone like He Wei to carry the black pot professionally for thirty years.

Of course He Wei understands this truth, he and Xu You are a pair made in heaven, and many tacit understandings don't even need any communication. For example, this time, Xu You said, "The mouth grows on others, let them go", the implication is not that he doesn't want to take care of it, but he can't manage it, if he really doesn't want to pay attention to it, he should say "jumping clown, don't worry". He Wei can be said to be extremely satisfied with Xu You in all aspects, but there is only one point, that is, this little lord is sometimes too gentle with his subordinates, lacking a little, or disdainful of using the emperor's mind to master the balance. This kind of practice can win people's hearts and have a remarkable effect when Jingyuan has more and more followers, Xu You is too gentle, and it will inevitably give people the illusion that they can be bullied.

Therefore, when Xu You occasionally uses the power technique, He Wei will respond immediately, he firmly believes that there is no pure and holy person in the world, as long as he is used to the pleasure brought by the power technique, no one can resist it, not even Xu You.

The winter solstice didn't have such a delicate mind as He Wei, but when Xu You really wanted to ignore it, he quickly echoed: "What Yilang Jun said is reasonable, Xiaolang is too lazy to be knowledgeable with them, but he can't let them talk nonsense." I'll arrange this matter immediately, and quietly shut the mouths of these mean guys! ”

Xu You said helplessly: "You guys...... Okay, just listen to its wings, but on the winter solstice, you have to remember that it is better to prevent people than to prevent Sichuan, and it is better to block it than to sparse, and you must not use drastic means, understand? ”

Dong Solstice smiled and said: "I understand, Xiaolang puts 10,000 hearts, I know how to measure!" ”

It is very dangerous to fall into Qiantang, but how to deal with the aftermath after escaping, the danger is actually not far behind. But those who became captives and returned by luck, looking through the history books, how many of them ended well? Once someone deliberately pushes Xu You to the point of defecting to the enemy, greedy for life, and betraying the country, the people's suspicion will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, so it is very important to guide and control the direction of public opinion.

However, when it comes to the importance of public opinion, no one has done better than Xu You in this time and space. The storytellers who have been carefully cultivated before are still scattered all over the place, relying on all kinds of absurd ghost storytelling to make a living, especially Zhou Qiqiao has become a hot celebrity in Wu County and even Yangzhou.

"Who has been here since returning to Wu County?"

Xu You coughed twice, his body felt tired, and he turned his head to find a pillow to rest. The frost has already cushioned the red silk pillow embroidered with the picture of the crane Lingzhi, helped Xu You to lie on the couch, and then gently covered the thin quilt, compared to the intimacy of the autumn equinox, it is more delicate and gentle than the autumn equinox.

"The list of visitors is in the hands of Sister Frost, Xiaolang has too many friends, and the gifts sent are all kind, how can you return the gift without showing timidity? We can't do it well, only Sister Frost can deal with it! ”

Frost glanced at the winter solstice, and without waiting for Xu You to ask again, he said: "Gu Fujun will come to visit Xiaolang every two days, and Zhang Mo, Wang Rong, Wu Shixing, Du Sheng and other people from the Bazi Society have also come twice, seeing that Xiaolang can't afford to be scabies, Zhang Langjun almost fainted from crying. The rest of the Zhu family, the Lu family, and the Zhang family also sent people to send daily necessities and various precious medicines, and Zhu Zhi also wrote a letter to Xiao Lang, which was picked up by the maid later. By the way, there are also a few children of the scholar clan who met during the Qiantang Lake Yaji, rich businessmen and scholars in this county who admire Xiaolang's fame, etc., and so on, the list is also written down, and when Xiaolang is better, let's see how to reply! ”

Life in the world is nothing more than human affection, and when you open your eyes, you can't avoid the trivialities, but you can't help but do it, Xu You nodded, slowly closed his eyes, and said, "You guys go down, I want to rest for a while!" ”

Everyone looked at He Wei together, He Wei stood up and said, "Qilang have a good rest, there will be no outsiders coming to the door today!" After speaking, he waved his hand to everyone and came out in turn.

Outside the door, He Wei said to Xushuang: "You have worked hard these days, the autumn equinox is not there, and Xiaolang can't be served by his side." Wait a few days to find a clever and well-behaved maid, and then replace it! ”

Dong Solstice grinned and said in a low voice: "You don't have to change it, and if you want to come to Auntie, you don't have to be tired or not, right?" ”

Lushuang reached out to pull her face, Dong Solstice made a grimace, ran away with a smile, paused helplessly, turned to He Wei and said respectfully: "But according to Lang Jun's orders, I will obey my orders!" ”

He Wei took two steps away, thought about it, and said: "Ah Wu, Wu County is not Qiantang after all, we are outsiders, and Xiaolang's safety is still the top priority." You also stay, just in case! ”

The dark gaze swept over the frost, without hesitation, and said, "Okay! ”

Frost lowered his head, his eyes fluctuated slightly, and when he raised it again, he smiled and said, "It's really nice to have Agoro-kun as a companion!" ”
