Chapter 5: Spring Dawn (Part I)

Yu Wenzhi finally couldn't let go of his family affection and went home with his brother. Ma Fang was busy looking for someone to study the knife score left by Lei Wanchun, and hurried back to his own home. In the blink of an eye, the Wang family's mansion returned to its usual tranquility. Looking at the quadrangular sky outside the high wall above his head and the trees whose branches and leaves were about to fall, Wang Xun suddenly felt an indescribable tiredness in his heart.

In the past few days, he has seen too many incredible things. It's so much that it's far beyond the limits of what can be accepted. While he was busy worrying about the fate of himself and Yuwen Zhi, he didn't feel mentally tired for the time being. As the external pressure eased, Yu Wenzhi's case was closed, and his heart suddenly relaxed, and all kinds of chaotic ideas immediately followed.

The friends I usually make are basically useless. At the critical moment, the one who was willing to help was Jia Chang, who had never looked down on him, and climbed to a high position by fighting cocks! He usually ran rampant on the streets of Chang'an, treating those small people in the market as ants. In the eyes of Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu, who are really in high positions, he and Yu Wenzhi are probably not much different from ants. The title left by the ancestors can only scare outsiders like Sun Renyu, and it is useless at the critical moment. And the eunuch Gao Lishi's words can make the Wannian County Commander forget all his previous plans and respectfully release Yuwenzhi, who has been regarded as a death row prisoner.

Lei Wanchun's world-class martial arts are not useful, he can't save others, and he can't save himself. With just one Wannian County, you can mobilize a bunch of masters whose martial arts are not under Lei Wanchun. In the face of power, Zhang Xun's full stomach is also vulnerable, and Mrs. Qiu Guo waved her hand in a charming manner, but she was able to make the head catcher of half Chang'an fast, silent like a cicada.

Thoughts like this, right, wrong, and miscellaneous, kept hitting his heart and tormenting his nerves. forced him to sit down for the first time and carefully look at the Chang'an City outside his body, in which he had grown up. But I found that I had never really understood the city, neither its prosperity nor its mysteries.

Who lives in those courtyards by the Qujiang Pond? Wang Xun found that he had never cared. In Chang'an City, except for His Majesty the Emperor, who has the most power, who can decide his life and death with a single sentence, Wang Xun has never paid attention. In the seventeen years of his life, he grew up almost ignorantly, fighting in a daze, and doing a job in a daze, but he never opened his eyes to see the changes outside. Neither know others nor know oneself.

He found that he didn't understand Zhang Xun's worries at all, and he didn't seem to be able to see through Jia Chang's sleekness, and he didn't even understand Yu Wenzhi's fierceness and Yu Wende's shamelessness. And although Ma Fang's childishness can be seen through at a glance, it is incompatible with him now. It was as if I had encountered a heavy fog when I was climbing the mountain alone, and it was white when I looked up and blurry when I looked down. This moment accompanies him with nothing but loneliness, confusion and endless confusion.

Maybe life is destined to be lonely. When he tossed and turned at night, he pretended to be old and thought alone. Then he looked at the moonlight through the curtains and began to brew the verses. It's a pity that a poem has been confused before it is finished. In his sleep, he and Yu Wenzhi fought with the two of them, and they had a lot of fun.

Fortunately, there are only a few days left for him to be in a daze, otherwise the Tang Dynasty may have another bitter bard. In an instant, the day of entering the camp came, and early in the morning, Wang Xun was called up by Aunt Yun's personal maid, bathed, and changed. Then he went to the family ancestral hall on an empty stomach to worship the few ancestors of the Wang family, and begged their spirits in the sky to bless him with a smooth career, and he would never have the opportunity to gallop in this life. Next, I went back to the room to have breakfast with Aunt Yun, put on my military uniform, and said goodbye to the rest of the family.

"Erlang went to the barracks, don't rush to get out again. See that things are far away, you are a hereditary viscount, even if you don't make meritorious contributions in your life, you can survive the years with qualifications, and you will be promoted faster than others! Aunt Yun helped him straighten his shoulders with her own hands and babbled in a rambling manner. Halfway through his words, he suddenly found that Wang Xun was already a head and a half taller than him, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he turned around and walked out.

"Isn't it the camp in the south of the city? Half an hour on horseback and you'll be able to run back! Very puzzled by Aunt Yun's appearance, Wang Xun grinned and shouted.

"Jiro ——!" Ziluo dragged out her voice and wanted to say a few words of self-determination, her nose suddenly became sour, she stretched out her hand and hugged Wang Xun's waist, and tears flowed all over her face at once.

"Look at you like this, like I'm really going into battle!" Wang Xun touched her smooth hair and smiled to explain. "If you can't help it, I'll just not go. Anyway, with our family's friendship with Fourth Uncle Feng, he will definitely not treat me as a deserter! ”

Ziluo wiped her face and shook her head desperately. He glanced at Wang Xun a few more times with tears in his eyes, as if the other party was about to disappear in the next moment, and then took out a concentric knot from his arms, and quickly tied it to Wang Xun's neck while the maids in the room were not paying attention. "It's not uncommon for Erlang to be the marquis and worship the prime minister, just be safe and secure for the rest of your life!"

While recovering Wang Xun's collar, her tears fell down with a thunderbolt. Disturbed by the sad atmosphere in the room, Wang Xun smiled and protested in a low voice, "Look at you, it's like I don't want you anymore......."

"No...... Ziluo hugged him again, and finally whimpered. Feeling the wet tears in his chest, Wang Xun's heart finally warmed up. smiled and said in a low voice: "Don't cry, I will definitely come back to see you and Aunt Yun every ten days and a half." Get me the knife, it's not too early. Don't delay a little on the first day. ”

"Hmm!" Ziluo nodded obediently, picked up the gilded leather sheath from the table, and slowly hung it up for her husband.

Looking at her meticulous appearance, a sense of responsibility about men arose spontaneously from Wang Xun's heart. In this family, he is the only man. Aunt Yun is looking forward to her own success, just like looking forward to her biological son. Ziluo is looking forward to her own achievements, so that she can have a light on her face. And oneself, after all, has to bear everything on the shoulders of men, sooner or later, there is no escape.

Coming out of the door, it's a different look. The neighbors had already learned from Wang Ji, Wang Xiang and others that the little marquis of the Wang family had a future and became an eight-rank Xuanjie lieutenant, and there was no lack of envy in his eyes. Of course, there are also many people who scoff at this matter, especially after seeing Wang Xun's bright clothes and the big bag hanging on another saddle, they strengthened their original judgment, "That child of the Wang family will definitely not be able to endure the hardships of the military camp." The Flying Dragon Guard, that is the one that His Majesty just ordered to strictly retrain, he went there, it is estimated that it will not be more than three days, and he will have to cry and shout and sneak back! ”

Wang Xun has long been accustomed to the judgmental gaze of his neighbors. Since he was a child, he has never been a positive role model for others. It is estimated that it will not be for a long time to come. "Don't learn from Wang Jia Erlang, you don't have any education at all!" "Study hard, otherwise you will become the second lang of the Wang family when you grow up, and you will be angry with your grandpa!" Similar words are not worth thinking about, and a casual grasp in memory is a lot. But this time, Wang Xun wanted to leave a good impression on the neighbors, tried to sit firmly on the horse, pulled his back straight and straight, and silently said in his heart: "I am the great-grandson of the founding marquis Wang Qiang, the grandson of Wang Zheng, and the only son of Wang Zizhi." I am the only man of the Wang family's generation....."

A long, long time later, Wang Xun still remembers his naivety and stubbornness. Looking back at the memory of yourself and smiling, like drinking alcohol.
