Chapter Seventy-Three: Parting
The decision has been decided, and the next thing will be easy to do, Yan Wan will come forward and talk about the conditions with Zuoqiu Shoubai. The king of Jiangxia can return to obedience, but he does not enter the court, does not meet him, does not listen to the announcement, retains the military power of Jingyong and Yongzhou, and Liangzhou, Jiangzhou and Nanyu Prefecture are returned to the imperial court, and the decrees of the imperial court on weekdays can be obeyed as long as they do not affect the situation in Jingyong.
An Xiu Ruo supervised the military inside and outside the five states of Jingyong, Liangjiang, and Henan, but Liangzhou is far away in Hanzhong and borders Xiliang, even if An Xiuming sends someone to take over the assassin history, once the army is in chaos, it is not the soft persimmon in An Xiuruo's hand, rubbing it at will? Since Zhu Zhi arrived, Jiangzhou has been operating an iron bucket that has long been out of control. Besides, Zhu Zhi secretly took refuge through Xu You, and it didn't matter if he was in his hands or not; As for Nanyuzhou, next to Jinling, the side of the couch will not allow others to snore, An Xiuming must swallow it in his stomach, if he does not hand it over, it means that there is no sincerity in negotiation at all, so it is okay to hand it over.
Jiangdong 22 states, the real strategic position is only Yangzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yongzhou four places, Yizhou in the hands of the Heavenly Master, is also equivalent to in the hands of An Xiuming, but An Xiuruo secretly occupies the other three states, this is where he dares to raise troops.
As for not entering the court, not seeing him, and not listening to the announcement, both sides know that if An Xiu does not dare to enter Beijing, An Xiuming does not dare to really let him sit in Jingyong, peace is only a short honeymoon period, and whether there is still a war in the end depends on the degree of development of each other.
mixed society, compared to being ruthless enough, righteous, and brothers; Fighting for the world is better than the time, place, and people!
In the final analysis, it is still the same sentence: the weak king dies, and the weak minister dies!
"Xu You actually has the blood edict of the first emperor...... "The matter of the blood edict must be disclosed to the people below, so it is not a secret, and the eighth lady can easily find out, but the matter of Zhu Zhi's refuge is relatively secret, and only Xu You, An Xiuruo, You Yuan and An Yuyi know about it.
Xu You...... I still underestimate him! Zuoqiu Shoubai recalled that when he first saw Xu You, he was panicked like a lost dog, and he intrigued with Yuan Jie, just to get back the dowry gift he gave to Yuan. Unexpectedly, in a few years, the once nothingless teenager began to get involved in the chaos that decided the fate of Jiangdong, and became a party that could not be ignored.
"So, what's next? Do you want to tell Jinling about Xu You and King Linchuan? ”
"Not necessarily!" Zuoqiu Shoubai smiled and said, "Isn't An Xiuruo going to be the opposite?" As long as we achieve our goal, no matter what means or whom, it doesn't matter! ”
The Eighth Lady nodded and said, "Are you going to agree to Your Highness's conditions?" Do not enter the court, do not meet you, and do not listen to the announcement...... Will it hurt the Lord's face too much? ”
"A covenant that will be torn up sooner or later, there is no need to which side is more beneficial. The Lord knows that there will be a battle between him and the King of Jiangxia, first talk about peace, and then find an opportunity to never suffer in the future, no matter what agreement we reach with the King of Jiangxia, it is a flower in the moon mirror in the water, and no one takes it seriously. Zuoqiu Shoubai turned around and walked outside the firewood room, and said softly: "The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman profits, so they can fight to the death, disrupting the world shared by this gate valve and the royal family, and only then will there be six days to replace it in the future." Eighth Madam, you are lying dormant beside King Jiangxia, you are the most important chess piece of the Heavenly Palace, if it is time to see the poor dagger, I hope you will not hesitate. For my generation, the love between men and women is just a passing cloud, and indulging in it is the way to death! ”
The body of the eighth lady hidden in the shadows shook slightly, and although her voice remained calm, she could still hear a little uneasiness, and said, "What does the water official mean by this?" ”
Zuoqiu Shoubai stopped and said with a smile: "It's just a kind reminder!" The dragon and phoenix among the kings of Jiangxia are very fond of you, and they may have promised you that they will abolish the princess in the future, marry you as the main house, and be glorious and rich, almost at your fingertips, isn't it more desirable than verifying the difficulties and dangers of the Six Heavens Avenue? Eighth Madam, Si Wan Heavenly Palace is harmonious, and the Five Heavenly Lords are not strict, you may have other thoughts, this is all human nature, I can understand it. But you must not forget, according to the punishment of the Heavenly Palace, who is the Four Heavenly Lords, the means of dealing with apostate people are far above the Sili Mansion, don't have time to enjoy the glory and wealth, but you yourself suffer from skinning and cramping first! ”
Zuoqiu Shoubai quietly walked away, and the eighth lady seemed to be drained of strength, sitting slowly on the ground against the wall, her hands trembling, and the sweat droplets on her forehead flowed into the depths of her clothes with her white neck, slowly drowning her in terror and despair.
According to the Heavenly Palace......
Two days later, a plastic agreement that could temporarily maintain the peace was successfully reached, and Yan Wan, as the representative, led the people of the Governor's Mansion to send the envoy group out of the city. Three or five miles down the river, the scenery on both sides of the river is pleasant, the left hill guards the white standing at the head of the boat, the eyes swept inadvertently, and saw a person standing on the low undulating hills, green silk long hair, green skirt flying, that handsome and beautiful face plucked the dusty strings in the bottom of the heart.
Linchuan under the high moonlight, cool fireflies fluttering in the ears, girls who always comb pigtails hold hands, stumbling around the dense silver magpie trees:
"Stop, hurry, catch up with me faster......"
"Hee-hee, stupid, why did you fall down again?"
"Huh? Does it hurt? Auntie will blow your fairy breath and blink your eyes......"
Sister?
Is it a sister?
Zuoqiu Shoubai rushed forward two steps abruptly, as if he wanted to fly to the shore, but he stopped instantly. The surging river does not stop him from cultivating a lot, but he has multiple identities and has experienced many cruel tortures before he has the qualifications to walk in this chess game.
Zuoqiu Sijin, who used to be a vassal of the King of Linchuan, is now the righteous sister of the King of Linchuan!
No one knows the past between him and Zuoqiu's family, and they won't associate each other with each other because of their surnames, so they don't see each other, not only to protect themselves, but also to protect Zuoqiu Sijin.
He forcibly endured the irrepressible throbbing in the depths of his heart, and his gaze greedily swept over Zuoqiu Sijin's face for the last time, remembering her eyebrows, her sideburns, and her skirt firmly in his heart.
Then, leave peacefully!
The boat went away, and Zuoqiu Sijin was already in tears unconsciously.
In the hidden place of the dock, Xu You looked at the man Yan Wan gifted, and suddenly laughed, and said, "Qingming, do you remember the time when you assassinated me in Jinling City pretending to be the autumn equinox?" ”
Qingming smiled: "Does Lang Jun want to settle accounts after the autumn?" I won't admit it, if you want to settle accounts, please find a dark child! ”
Xu You rolled his eyes and said, "I don't want you to settle accounts, I just feel that the world is wonderful, each of us is pulled by a line that cannot be seen, and it seems that we are crawling aimlessly towards countless possibilities, but the result is still met at the same end." ”
"I don't understand!"
"If you know who Zuoqiu Shoubai is, you will understand......"
Qingming Qi said: "Lang Jun recognizes him? ”
Xu You's eyes were quite playful, and he said: "He is the scholar who serves the pen and ink by Yuan Jie's side, named Qimo, and it is said that Yuan Qingqi met a homeless child by chance when he was out playing. ”
"Huh? Yuan Qingqi's people? How did you become the Lang Zhongling of the King of Hengyang? ”
"So, Yuan Da sacrificial wine is really a good means!"
Xu You didn't know what happened in Yuan's Mansion at the beginning, and he didn't know that Qimo deliberately approached King Hengyang, so he was expelled from the Heavenly Master Dao by Yuan Qingqi, so he thought that Yuan Qingqi arranged a secret pile into Hengyang Palace.
Everything has been decided, Xu You and An Xiuruo resigned, An Xiuruo knew that time was precious, and did not leave him, said a lot of praise, obviously admired Xu You a lot, and finally pondered for a moment, and said: "Weizhi, before you leave, can you give me another advice?" ”
"Please advise Your Highness!"
"If that traitor reorganizes the Chinese army, directly tears the covenant, and strikes first, what should I do?"
As for Jingzhou, as many as 30,000 troops and horses are still in Wuling and other places to pacify and deter the barbarians, whether it is the idea of unifying the three armies or raising ordnance, grain, grass and ships, it will take a lot of time.
But now it is obvious that with the assistance of the Xiao clan of the Sili Mansion and the Shen clan of the powerful sect, An Xiuming is likely to become the first party to complete the integration, and at that time the initiative will be in his hands, and he can attack and retreat, and there is a lot of room for turnaround.
Xu You said categorically: "Your Highness, rest assured, when I left Xunyang, Zhu Tingshi once said that he had a good plan to delay the rebels to control Jinling, and give us enough time to arrange the arrangement." ”
An Xiuruo groaned: "Zhu Zhushi is known as Xiao Zhuge , does Weizhi think it is reliable?" He doesn't deal with Zhu Zhi much, although he has a good reputation, he is afraid that it will be difficult to live up to his reputation, so he pays more attention to listening to Xu You's opinion.
"If there is still one person in the world, he can be regarded as a last resort and win a thousand miles, and I think that it is none other than Zhu Thorn Shi!"
Yan Wan said gloomily: "Xu Langjun is too overestimated Zhu Thorn History......
Xu You was silent.
An Xiuruo showed a bit of a heroic bearing at this time, and said: "Okay, since Weizhi is so respected, I naturally have no reason not to believe it." I wish to go to Pengcheng, you and I will meet again in Jinling! ”
Xu You knelt on the ground and said, "I hope that my lord will make the virtue of Great Chu shine in Tang Yu; Ming Gong Shengxun, beyond Huan Wen. Then Lincang Prefecture and Xie Zhibo, climb the Kei Mountain to make a promise, isn't it grand? ”
An Xiuruo, who called "my lord", lifted Xu You with his own hands, stroked his shoulder, and said: "If there is a day when the Taiji Hall is honored, there will be a throne in front of the palace!" ”
Xu You's heart was like water, but his face was ecstatic, and he bowed his head and bowed again, saying, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”
Yan Wan stood proudly on her side, and was very disdainful of Xu You's character, so frivolous and sloppy, and praised the master without authorization, which was neither compliant nor too flattering.
After that, Xu You left Zong Yu in Jiangling as a link between the three parties, and secretly met with Tan Xiaozu to discuss how to keep the information flowing. On the night he left, he went to visit Guo Mian again.
"Shichiro is leaving?"
"Yes!" Xu You maintained his respect for Guo Mian and said: "The matter is done, there is no time to wait, it is better to return to Yangzhou as soon as possible!" ”
Guo Mian poured tea for Xu You, and said casually: "In the palace, there seem to be traces of the remnants of six days......
Six days were pervasive, Xu You was surprised, but he was not surprised, and said, "Did you find it?" ”
"Before I returned to Jiangling from Jinling, Yan Wan gave His Royal Highness a singer, this singer has a beautiful complexion, singing and dancing, but also knows how to please men, it can be called a wishful interpretation flower, it didn't take long for His Royal Highness to be favored, this time even the princess didn't care, and stayed in the singer's room all night......"
Do you want to be shameless?
Yan Wan despised him for patting An Xiuruo's ass before, Xu You saw it in his eyes, this is good, you send a woman directly, and you have the face to despise me and say a few polite words?
"I thought that no matter how bad Yan Wan was, at least she still had a bit of gentleman's character...... I didn't expect it, ha! Xu You mocked unceremoniously, but the ridicule was ridicule, and the business could not be delayed, and asked, "Is there a problem here?" Is it the first time for Yan Wan to send a singer to His Royal Highness? ”
"No, he will send it once or twice every six months, otherwise what are hundreds of singers in the house for? Most of them are for the sake of giving them to His Highness for enjoyment after they have been recuperated. Guo Mian said lightly: "Your Royal Highness is in military affairs, Yingluo Weitian, in government affairs, Shen Ming is decisive, but there is nothing else to do, but to be a woman!" ”
Everyone in the world is a good woman, this is not a big sin, but as the lord of man, as the son of heaven, if a good woman is uncontrolled, there will definitely be no good end. If An Xiuruo even wants the women sent by his subordinates, it can be seen that there are no taboos, this weakness will not only be known to Guo Mian, many times, weakness is almost equivalent to a dead hole!
"Since it's not the first time I've sent it, how can Guo Gong conclude that this singer is a person from Six Days?"
"I can't say for sure yet, because someone has sent someone to check that her origin is innocent and flawless, but I can smell a strange smell on her...... There is an ulterior secret hidden in that smell. ”
Could this be the sixth sense of a veteran spy officer?
Xu You never doubted the professionalism of the cattle who could make the boat pavilion by himself, his face became heavy, and he said: "We must confirm the identity of this woman as soon as possible, and if there is really a problem, solve it as soon as possible!" ”
Guo Mian nodded and said, "I'll do this matter personally, Qilang doesn't have to worry about it!" He suddenly laughed and said, "But there is another matter, Qilang doesn't plan to say it yet?" ”
Xu You said with a smile: "I came to the house tonight, just for this." ”
He left the table and stood up, ordered Qingming to take out a jade pendant, gently forced, folded it into two, handed half of it to Guo Mian, and said: "This is my dowry for Wenjun, in the future, if anyone comes to me with this jade pendant, even if it is a big difficulty, I will definitely try my best to do it." ”
Guo Mian took the jade pendant, put it in his arms, laughed loudly, and said with heartfelt happiness in his laughter: "Okay, I have to get Qilang Yinuo, which is better than ten thousand taels of gold, I accepted this dowry!" Be kind to Wenjun in the future, she is a poor person, don't let her heart down! ”
"Don't dare to lose each other, and don't want to lose each other!"
On the branches of the moon, the city was silent, Guo Mian sent Xu You to the door, Xu You said: "Guo Gong, I have prepared a boat to wait at the dock, let's say goodbye!" ”
Guo Mian clapped his hands, and a person came out from behind the door, dressed in black, wearing a cage crown, carrying a small package, the green silk was tied into a bun that only men have, and his smooth face was painted with a dull gray, at first glance, he seemed to be an ordinary man, but those smart and bright eyes were clearly Xu You's acquaintances.
Song Shenfei!
"Shichiro, take her away!" Guo Mian said in a low voice: "Yan Wan has never given up, staying here, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect her." Follow you, and be a companion with Wenjun in the future, which can be regarded as a trust. ”
Concubine Song bit her lip and looked at Guo Mian, her eyes were red, but she didn't say a word after all, she knelt on her knees, kowtowed her head three times, got up and walked to Xu You's side, and said quietly: "Lang Jun, let's go!" ”
The warbler is willow-colored, and the first smell is the fish; The phoenix tube luanzheng is indistinguishable from the ups and downs and turbidity.
Xu You vaguely remembered that He Wei said that Song Shenfei's zheng, as well as her shocking song, slush wine, such a wonderful person, after all, was wiped out by this world.
"Let's go!"
Until he arrived at the mouth of the street and alley, Xu You looked back, in the moonlight, Guo Mian's old body was getting older and older, but his shadow was as tall as the pine trees in the yard.
Perhaps, this is the last meeting between the two,
Xu You suddenly had a realization.
