Chapter 17: Departure
Chu Xiaoyang and Bai Xing chatted very speculatively, and soon at noon, Wei Jinyan came to find him, and everyone in the royal classics library knelt down to profess as ministers.
"Bai Xing, meet the Third Highness!" Bai Xing bowed his head and bowed.
"Excuse me!"
"Childe's surname is Bai, I don't know what is the relationship between Bai Gongzi and Prime Minister Zuo?" Wei Jinyan asked.
Wei Jinyan looked up and down at the young man in front of him, about the same age as Chu Xiaoyang, maybe a little older than Chu Xiaoyang. Seeing that he was neither humble nor arrogant, calm and unhurried, he gestured with the elegance of a scholar, and his eyes were as clear as water, as if he could see things clearly, and the cold glow that was inadvertently revealed was fleeting in an instant, and his eyes became warm and elegant.
This person is definitely not simple!
"Back to the third highness, the left prime minister Bai Jian is my grandfather."
"He is worthy of being Uncle Bai's descendant, Bai Gongzi has an extraordinary bearing, a talent, and he will definitely make a difference in the future! Become the immortal hero of Great Wei! ”
"Your Highness has a good reputation, Bai Xing is just a sour scholar, I can't help His Highness to praise him like this!" Bai Xing waved his hand again and again.
"I saw Bai Gongzi and Xiaoyang talking very happily, I don't know what interesting things Bai Gongzi and my junior brother talked about?"
"Senior brother, this is Brother Bai, he is amazing, he knows everything! We talked about a lot of things, oh oh oh yes, brother, do you remember what the teacher told us? Thirteen years ago, the battle between Nanming Wulingjun and Zhao Lie, the general of the Qin State, did not expect that there was something behind the scenes, that Nanming's national teacher Zi Ying, the queen of the Murong clan, actually slaughtered the Wulingjun family, the teacher didn't tell us this, so I said that Brother Bai understands everything, isn't it very powerful? ”
After listening to Wei Jinyan, his eyes were dark, and his gaze was a little cold, what did this Bai Xing want to do. He looked Bai Xing up and down, this person was by no means a mediocre person, could it be that he was deliberately hiding it?
Chu Xiaoyang said happily, and the restless young man's temperament began to reveal again, he walked around the two of them, and the corners of his mouth kept chattering.
"If you want me to say that this Murong clan is really not authentic, people are on the battlefield, swearing to die for them, but they are stabbed in the back and poked in the backbone, this is really not authentic, too inhumane, this and this, I want me to ......"
"You are going to defect to Zhao Lie of the Qin State, make a comeback, and then kill back to Nanming and slaughter the Murong clan!" Wei Jin answered.
"Yes, yes, yes, I want to kill the Murong clan and avenge my family, but this is a rebellion...... This thing seems to be ......" Chu Xiaoyang scratched his head for a long time, and couldn't think of a way to do both, only felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this imminent defection.
"Senior brother, you have to change your temperament, you can't just rely on your own enthusiasm, according to your own preferences, you have to consider a lot of other factors." Wei Jinyan tapped Chu Xiaoyang's head with the jade fan in his hand and taught a lesson.
"You are a dead brain, think about it, if Wu Lingjun had defected to the Qin State at that time, then it would not be just the General's Mansion that was slaughtered. The families of the generals under Wu Lingjun will also not be at peace, and one person dies on the battlefield to keep the family safe. The 6,000 armor soldiers under Wu Lingjun swore to die on the battlefield and followed Wu Lingjun to death, why does Bai Gongzi think this? Wei Jinyan smiled and threw the question to Bai Xing.
Bai Xing held the ancient scroll in his hand, and he replied: "I think this is thinking of the righteousness of Wuling Jun, I heard that this Wuling Jun loves soldiers like a son, and I think he is deeply loved by the soldiers; The second is that there is no way out, if you surrender to the Qin State, the family will definitely die, and the Murong clan will have abandoned them when they return to the South Ming, so it is better to survive than to die on the battlefield vigorously, and after death, they can still fall into the reputation of sacrificing for the country, and then Wuling Jun may be deeply helpless, serving a mediocre monarch is the sorrow of the courtiers! ”
"I think this is clearly the incompetence of the king of the Southern Underworld, this is simply a faint king, a faint king!"
Chu Xiaoyang was very angry, he slammed his fist on the bookshelf, but he used too much force, the bookshelf was crumbling, and it fell apart, and the classics on the bookshelf were brushed off, and it was a mess, fortunately, just a bookshelf fell apart, if a large row fell, those teachers who managed the classics would be busy.
Chu Xiaoyang held his head in his hands and muttered in his mouth, guilty of sin, how could he fall well, he clearly didn't use much strength. He immediately squatted on the ground to clean up the books scattered all over the place, and muttered in his mouth: "Wei Jinyan, the workmanship of this bookshelf is too bad, I didn't use much effort, it fell apart by itself, you all have to replace these bookshelves with new ones, this looks like it has been some years, you Wei Guo's wealth is not bad for these money, don't be so stingy and stingy......"
Wei Jinyan felt very speechless when he saw this, he held his forehead very helplessly, holding the collar behind Chu Xiaoyang's neck in one hand, and twisted him up from a pile of books, like a chicken.
Chu Xiaoyang was strangled and hurriedly shouted: "Wei Jinyan, what are you doing!" If you let me go, are you going to strangle Lao Tzu? ”
He kicked his legs around, and the books he had packed in his arms were scattered all over the ground.
Bai Xing looked at it and laughed, and said, "Brother Chu is really a righteous person!"
"But no, this strength is like a brute bull!" Wei Jin said.
"Wei Jinyan, let go! You're going to strangle me! Chu Xiaoyang just knew the rules and shouted Senior Brother, but now he opened his teeth and claws and revealed his true form.
"Dead? I don't think it's dead yet! Wei Jin gave him a blank look.
"Your Highness and Brother Chu, the relationship between the senior brothers is really good! It's really the envy of Bai Xing. Bai Xing said with a smile, he squatted down and sorted the books one by one.
"It really makes Bai Gongzi laugh, my junior brother is this young man's temperament, frizzy all day long, like a monkey, jumping up and down every day." Wei Jinyan loosened his collar.
"You girl, Wei Jinyan is like a monkey!" Chu Xiaoyang squatted down again to clean up, but he was even busier.
"Brother Chu, leave it to me here, I'm familiar with these books!" Bai Xing sighed, looked at the sorted books, and was messed up again.
"Senior brother, that's the Chronicle of the Heroes, what do you do when you put it in the Kyushu Geography Chronicle, won't you read it? Don't do any help. Wei Jinyan was in a heavy mood and irritable today, his father was seriously ill now, his relatives were eyeing him, and the ministers were ill-intentioned, he really didn't have the patience to watch Chu Xiaoyang make a fool here, so he dragged his arm and went downstairs.
"Don't make a mess here, come back to my house!"
"Which ...... Brother Bai, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for your trouble, I'm going to go first...... Brother Bai, we'll see you next time! Chu Xiaoyang said apologetically, and was pulled away by Wei Jinyan.
The two went down to the first floor, and Wei Jinyu waved his hand to call a few teachers to go up and help clean up.
"Do you know how to trouble others? You're ......."
"I know I know, I will change!" Chu Xiaoyang lazily held his hands behind his head, and his temperament was casual.
"How about this morning? Did you experience the feeling of being Your Highness, high up, and others nodding to you, isn't it very comfortable? How does it feel? Isn't it pleasant? It feels like I'm standing at the pinnacle of my life, eh...... Don't ignore me, tell me, wait for me, don't go so fast! ”
Wei Jinyan really didn't want to pay attention to this noisy guy, strode forward, ignoring him. Chu Xiaoyang kept chattering in the back, which was really annoying!
Bai Xing stood in front of the window and watched the backs of the two leaving, he took away an elegant and gentle smile, his young and handsome face was not similar to his age, his eyes were cold, as if he wanted to reject people for thousands of miles, and he didn't seem to have put anyone in his heart. A pair of cold eyes can see through the pickled in this court, and see everything thoroughly, this kind of person is the smartest and the most pathetic. He stood in front of the window for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
Everyone here knows that the white prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion is a bookworm, a nerd, not good at words and not good at interacting with people, only knowing that a dead reader, reading a dead book, is an elm pimple head. If you don't enter the court to be an official, you know that you have been nesting in this library day and night, and it is really strange to say that this Prime Minister Zuo is ignored, and he also threatened to tell King Wei that this Bai Xing was born with dull qualifications and is not suitable to be an official, and he postponed it again and again, so King Wei said it.
Look, this Bai Gongzi stood there in a daze again, and a group of people who were packing up the books shook their heads, secretly thinking in their hearts that this Bai Gongzi was really a nerd, this Bai family was a wealthy family, how could he give birth to such a descendant......
Wei Jinyan didn't open the mansion, he has been living at his sister's house, and a few days have passed unconsciously, and Chu Xiaoyang is going to leave for Qi on this day.
The princess and Wei Jinyan stood outside the mansion to see him off, Wei Jinyan and the princess both said that they wanted to let someone escort him to the Qi country, Chu Xiaoyang said no, it was not safe to send someone to escort him, and there would be some bandits who were not long-sighted to come out to rob him. And the distance to Qi is still very far, and I don't know how many days it will take, and it is inconvenient to have many people.
Speaking of the bandits, the brothers and sisters couldn't help but smile at each other, and both of them thought of Liang Er and Liang San, these two funny guys, they should find a place to settle down now, these are simple and honest people, and they have no choice but to come out to do this robbery.
"Brother Xiaoyang, will you come again?"
Xiao Jin'er pulled Chu Xiaoyang's sleeve, the little county lord's voice was soft and glutinous, the little girl's nose was red and seemed to be a little reluctant, tears swirled in her eyes, her little hands that were as white as lotus roots held Chu Xiaoyang's sleeves tightly, and she looked up at Chu Xiaoyang with a pair of bright big eyes.
"Will come back!"
Chu Xiaoyang smiled and pinched Xiao Jin'er's face, and the little girl suddenly cried and threw herself into Chu Xiaoyang's arms.
"Xiao Jin'er, don't let Brother Xiaoyang go!"
Everyone laughed and laughed, and they all said that it was really lovely.
"Xiao Jin'er, Brother Xiaoyang is going home! Brother Xiaoyang said that he would come again in the future. Princess Wei Jinyu squatted down and comforted her, she was very doting on Xiao Jin'er.
"Brother Xiaoyang is going home?" Xiao Jin'er asked.
"Yes, Brother Xiaoyang is going home, next time I come, Brother Xiaoyang will bring a lot of delicious and fun to Xiao Jin'er, okay? Xiao Jin'er, don't cry! "Chu Xiaoyang likes this little girl from the bottom of his heart.
Chu Xiaoyang, a frizzy guy, also has the patience to comfort children for a day.
"Mmmm, Xiao Jin'er doesn't cry! Brother Xiaoyang remembers to come again, Xiao Jin'er is waiting for you. ”
"Good!" Chu Xiaoyang raised his hand to wipe away the tears of the little county lord.
The two brothers exchanged pleasantries for a long time, and Wei Jin said, "Senior brother, Wei will always open the door for you!"
"Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars up to 90,000 miles! The boy is ambitious in all directions, and I am willing to compete with my senior brother! ”
"I will accompany you to the end! I don't know which country do you want to vote for? ”
"Qi Country!"
