Chapter 1: Feather Cloak (6b)

This is a bit too direct. Shi Chaoyi and Wang Xun were embarrassed at the same time. Especially Wang Xun, just because he is in the restless age unique to young people, coupled with his lack of experience, he likes to vent casually. In fact, there is no hostility towards Datang in his heart.

Shi Chaoyi is much older than Wang Xun and Yan Jiming, and his concentration is much stronger. just laughed, and covered up the embarrassment on his face. Then he raised the wine cup and said with a smile: "Ji Ming is worthy of being a face, and his words are sharp and chase after Naizu. Don't say that you can say it wrong today, Shi Mou's everything does depend on his father's Yu Yin, but Shi Mou doesn't think this way is fair. Do you see injustice? Shi has a straight temperament, so he has to talk about it! Tube on tube! ”

Yan Jiming and Shi Chaoyi have been friends for many years, and they know that the other party is a character who does not admit defeat. Now that the purpose of the reminder has been achieved, he smiled and stopped stubbling. so as not to let the other party find an opportunity to play on the topic. Unexpectedly, Shi Chaoyi seemed to be a little drunk today, and he was so dizzy that he didn't know how to restrain himself at all. Seeing that Yan Jiming smiled and didn't say anything, he put down the wine cup and continued: "I don't read as much as the two of you, and I don't know as much about the truth as the two of you. But there is a story of Jingwei reclamation, I don't know if you have ever heard it? ”

"I've heard it more than a hundred times!" Yan Jiming frowned, looking at his good friend as if he didn't know him. In his memory, the other party hadn't read a few books, and his speech was always straightforward. It was the first time to quote scriptures like this, far from what he usually did.

At this stunned kung fu, Shi Chaoyi was already like a river, "It is recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas that the daughter of Emperor Yan went to swim in the East China Sea, but was drowned by the sea. After her death, her soul did not disperse, and she turned into several Jingwei birds, and every day she threw wood and stones, trying to completely fill the sea! After a long time, the god of the East China Sea could not stand it anymore, jumped out, and scolded loudly, 'Ah, you stupid bird. The fish we eat and the water we drink every day come from this sea. You still want to fill him up, do you still have a conscience? ’”

Wang Xun also read the original text about Jingwei reclamation. However, the text in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is short and dry, far from being as vivid as Shi Chaoyi's play. Listening to what the other party said interestingly, he poured himself a glass of wine and raised it to his lips to savor it. I didn't notice that Yan Jiming, who was sitting next to him, had a blue face.

"What the hell is wrong with him today, or have I been misreading him all along?" also holding a glass of wine, Yan Jiming's tongue was filled with bitterness. Jingwei reclamation, Jingwei reclamation, if Shi Chaoyi compares himself to Jingwei Bird, isn't what he hates is Datang?

"I'm a good person!" No matter what others think of him, Shi Chaoyi suddenly held back his throat and said in a woman's voice, "But you turned into a flat-haired beast!" Didn't I fill in the flats for you, and thank you for providing stinky fish and rotten shrimp? ”

With that, he laughed, raised the wine cup in front of him, and drained it. There was a cold feeling that climbed up Wang Xun's back like a snake, and on a hot day, he couldn't help but want to close the window. The records in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are not as auspicious as Shi Chaoyi said. And almost every word, every sentence, is full of resentment.

"Brother Shi is drunk. Mingyun, don't worry about him! I was panicking, and I heard Yan Jiming's explanation with a smile.

Wang Xun shook his head with a smile and shook the uncomfortable feeling out of his body. "We did get a little drunk today. Eating such greasy and big things, the most taboo is to drink too quickly! ”

"Drunk, drunk, but drunk!" Shi Chaoyi seemed to be unable to sit still, but he was still free to pour himself wine, "Mingyun, I hit it off with you today." Just tell me a few big truths. Although you are also a noble queen, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out of the Jingshi, where a stone can be thrown and hit three princes. Why don't you plug it with me? Over there, we are all straight-hearted brothers, and we can drink wine together every day and eat meat in large chunks. An Dashuai has always attached importance to heroes, with your skills, within three years, my brother will ensure that you can become a general and lead a guard and horses! ”

Wang Xun is now the actual Zhaowu lieutenant, and his rank is the sixth grade. And the generals who led the troops independently, even the lowest General Mingwei, were also from the fourth grade. It is five levels higher than Wang Xun's current position. And according to the convention of the big ** middle school, the higher you go, the more difficult it is to be promoted. Many people have been in the army all their lives, and when they are old, they are just a five-grade general, and the last hurdle is that they can't climb it.

But the title of general is far less attractive to Wang Xun than others expected. One is that he is young, and he has mixed up with the captain when he first enters the official career, and he does not feel deeply about the difficulties, and his desire for promotion is not very urgent. Second, he inherited his father's lazy temperament since he was a child, and the biggest luxury in this life is just to eat peacefully and wait for death, and he is not willing to take any risks at all.

Seeing that Wang Xun always held the wine cup and did not pick up his stubble, Shi Chaoyi couldn't help but be a little disappointed. He frowned and complained in a low voice, "What? Could it be that Mingyun still can't trust Shi? Although you and I have been friends for a short time, Shi really regards you as a friend. That's why I can't wait to take out my heart and show you! ”

"How so? Brother Shi is serious! Wang Xun shook his head, smiled and raised the lamp in front of him, "Brother Shi treats me with this friendship, and my brother understands it." But brother, I have lived in Beijing since I was a child, and I have never been to a place more than fifty miles away from Chang'an. At first glance, when I heard Brother Shi's invitation, I couldn't help but hesitate. To be honest, my brother still has elders at home, and he can't actually be his own master! ”

"A manly man should be ambitious. Why is it so big that everything has to be decided by the elders? Shi Chaoyi waved his hand and said very unceremoniously.

"Parents are here, not far away, it has been the rule of the Central Plains since ancient times." Seeing that Wang Xun politely refused Shi Chaoyi's invitation, Yan Jiming secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly smiled and played a round for the other party. Something is not right today, very wrong. Not only today, but on this trip to Beijing, Shi Chaoyi's performance was a little strange. I visited a lot of people who didn't need to visit, spent a lot of money that I didn't need to spend, and when it was time to make a statement, I suddenly lowered my voice. When it is time to converge, it is particularly public.

This is not the Shi Chaoyi he has known for a long time. The Shi Chaoyi he knew before, although he didn't read much, he didn't mess around. It is even more impossible to tell a small story in the Classic of Mountains and Seas so clearly and vividly. "Could it be they?" Suddenly remembering a rumor, Yan Jiming couldn't help but shiver. Fan Yang Jiedu made An Lushan the most taboo person in his life was Li Linfu, the prime minister of the dynasty. once told his subordinates that he was not afraid of seeing the emperor, but every time he talked to Li Xiang, he would sweat profusely afterwards. And with the fall of Jingzhao Yin Wang Ji a few months ago, Li Linfu's authority in the imperial court has been greatly reduced. Yang Guozhong's family is already faintly in a situation of coming from behind, and they may pull Li Linfu under the horse at any time.

"If that'......" Yan Jiming didn't dare to think about it again. With his position, of course, he knows how strong his father and his immediate boss An Lushan are. Not to mention that the total number of troops and horses in the three towns of Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong has exceeded the strength of the Gyeonggi garrison. Even if the number of both sides is equal, the Gyeonggi soldiers and horses are far from being the opponent of Fan Yangjun. The former had not heard the sound of soldiers for thirty years, and all kinds of flowers and birds began to be embroidered on his combat boots. And the latter, fighting with the Khitan, Xi, and Murowei tribes day by day, has long been tempered like the sharp blade of a whetstone.

"If I get the opportunity in the future, I will naturally go to Saishang to find Brother Shi for a drink. But now? Hehehehe....... "Although Wang Xun has a straightforward temperament, he is not without a ravine. Listening to Yan Jiming speak for himself, he immediately slipped down the steps.

Shi Chaoyi was helpless, glanced at his friend Yan Jiming, who had been playing with his ass since he was a child, and then at Wang Xun, who was full of heroism, shook his head and smiled, "Since this is the case, I will not be reluctant." The rules of your Central Plains are always different from those of our Hu people. It's hard to say who's good and who's bad. But in the future, if you need help with something, just send me a letter. As long as it can be done, Shi will never push back! ”

"Thank you, Brother Shi. The same is true of Wang, where he has a useful place for Brother Shi, although he speaks. As long as you can do it, you will never refuse! Wang Xun raised the wine cup that had just been poured again, and proposed with a smile, "Come, do another one." ”

"!" Shi Chaoyi laughed and drank all the wine in the cup.

Next, with Yan Jiming's deliberate efforts, neither side said anything out of line. In an intimate and unfamiliar atmosphere, the guests and hosts parted happily.

Chang'an City in the twilight has a different kind of prosperity than during the day. Strings of colorful lanterns are hung on both sides of the street, and from a distance, it looks like a heavenly river, and you can't see the edge at all. The aroma of meat, tea, wine and all kinds of food wanders on both sides of the Tianhe River, constantly drilling into people's nostrils. After a tiring day, the men carried pots of wine and hummed out tunes to their homes. The carefree naughty boys rode bamboo poles and chased each other screaming.

The people walking under the lanterns were some richly dressed, some with patches on their shoulders. But everyone had a smile on their faces, with a sense of calmness and calm. This is the unique tranquility of a place that has not been heard of for a long time, and it is difficult to see it on the plug. Although this kind of peaceful atmosphere can easily make people lazy and want to fall asleep before you know it.

Looking at the lights in front of him, Yan Jiming suddenly felt an impulse in his heart, he didn't want this peace to be broken, although he also felt that the people in Chang'an City were too decadent, and they were a little disgusting. Cema and Shi Chaoyi got closer, and he asked with a smile, "Where did Brother Shi hear the story of Jingwei's reclamation today?" Why haven't I heard you say that before? ”

"I'm talking nonsense!" Shi Chaoyi's shoulders trembled slightly, but he still had a big grin on his face, "What, didn't I say it well?" ”

"You can't say it's good, and you can't say it's bad!" Yan Jiming watched all the other party's movements in his eyes, and felt more and more heavy in his heart. Their father and son are under the jurisdiction of An Lushan, and if Jiedu makes An Lushan and the soldiers and horses make Shi Siming disagree, it will be difficult for their father and son to stay out of the matter. But before the incident, they couldn't warn anyone. First, An Lushan has always been respectful to their father and son, and without more conclusive evidence, it is really ashamed to casually charge others with the crime of destroying the door. Second, with the court's trust in An and Shi, even if he and his father expose it, it will not have any effect. The princes of the DPRK and China were so busy fighting for power that they couldn't take care of these "trivial" matters at all. Moreover, no one wants to easily provoke two fierce generals with heavy troops.

"It's good, it's ugly, I've already said it!" Shi Chaoyi glanced at Yan Jiming again, smiling rather than smiling, "If you say it, you can never take it back." It's you, Xiao Yan, I've watched you grow up since I was a child. If I need your help in the future, will you give me a hand? ”

This is already a very obvious hint, and Yan Jiming's heart is awe-inspiring. He doesn't want to break with his best friend, but he doesn't want to be a minion of the other party. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his head and said, "It depends on what Brother Shi needs me to do." There are some things that I'm certainly willing to do. There are some things that I am afraid not! ”

"Tell me!" Shi Chaoyi stretched out his big hand on the horse and tried his best to pat the other party's shoulder. Yan Jiming is very thin, but he has a hard skeleton under his clothes, and he is very handy to shoot.

"If you benefit the country and the people, you are willing to serve!" Yan Jiming stretched out his hand, stretched Shi Chaoyi's arm away from his shoulder, and responded with a smile, but the expression on his face was very serious, "On the contrary, my brother will definitely stand in front of the eldest brother!" ”

"Just you?" Although he had expected it in his heart, Shi Chaoyi was still very disappointed, grinned, and slapped him again, "Sample, I've been ..... since I was a child."

"Do something, don't do something!" Yan Jiming was still smiling, but his eyes revealed an unavoidable tenacity.
