Ruihe three years, Dayi border city, south border, back to the south city gate.

The name of Huinancheng, according to rumors, was taken by the founding emperor of the Great Yi Dynasty himself.

Because this place is located in the extreme south of the Great Yi Dynasty, guarding the peace of the people in the south of the empire for 600 years, the emperor of each dynasty of the Great Yi Dynasty will send a close confidant to garrison the south with heavy troops to suppress the southwestern countries.

This is a later word, temporarily press not to watch, only to say that because of the countless loyal souls and martyrs buried here, leaving home on an expedition, but in the end can not return, when the initial emperor was angry, he gave the name back to the south.

The emperors of Tiande, Ruihe and the two dynasties were in power, and the garrisons returned to the south, all of which were Jiuzhang Palace.

At this time, under the city gate, a group of several people came on horseback, the young man at the front was dressed in a black robe, the jade crown tied his hair, he raised his eyes, his eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, the jade quality was natural, and it was difficult to hide the quality of a dragon and phoenix.

There is a murderous aura in his eyes, even if the clothes are minimal, he can't hide the elegance of that body, and the princely and noble are all like this.

He raised his hand and pulled the reins slightly, and everyone behind him also stopped, moving quickly, and the discerning person knew at a glance that these were well-trained soldiers.

The man in the dark robe sat on his horse, staring at the southern city wall, and was silent for a long time.

After the group dismounted, they entered the city, and the people who came and went in the city were all dressed in plain clothes, and the hawkers were not shouting as loudly as in Kyoto.

He had heard many songs about the men who carried guns and could fight on horses, and those who could go down to the fields to plant rice when they got off the horses, and it was rumored that they were women, and they were much better than the sons of most families in Kyoto.

He also went to the land of Yanbei with the prince, and the people there drank wine and ate meat in big bowls, which was very much in line with all the pride of Biansai he had heard.

But this time Nancheng is so quiet, it doesn't look like the legendary border city at all, it's easy to look at, and it's very strange in my heart, and the rumors can't be believed.

The border city is heavy, although it is not as cold as Yanbei, but it is not as prosperous as the south of the Yangtze River, if it is a nobleman, born splendid, it will not come here, so there are really not many nobles in the south city this time.

However, there is a noble surname at the top of the Great Yi Empire, the younger brother of the first emperor, and the prince's mansion of His Royal Highness Prince Jiuzhang, the uncle of His Majesty today, is on the square street in the south of the city.

During the Tiande period, the garrison returned to the south, and the 300,000 soldiers and horses in the five cities of Nan, Pingyang, Jingyang, Liyang, and Anyang were the younger brothers of the saint, and the prince of Jiuzhang was awarded the title of two-character king.

Because the first emperor founded the country 600 years ago, the southern and northern wars, the surrounding countries all bowed down to the vassals, except for the occasional small army in the frontier to cause trouble, the military fortresses in the east, west, north and south of the Great Yi are not the years of war in the mouths or books of the storytellers in the teahouses in the capital.

In addition to being not as prosperous as the capital, the people of Huinan live a very peaceful and happy life.

Naturally, this was in Rui and a year ago Taiping.

When the southwestern countries invaded, Prince Jiuzhang was martyred, and the sky back to the south was always shrouded in a shadow.

According to the custom, every time a general stationed in the border dies, the imperial court must send another general to garrison back to the south.

However, His Majesty in the Imperial City of Shengjing seemed to have suddenly forgotten about it, and never mentioned the matter of sending military generals to garrison it.

Everyone in the court, the military generals admired the heroism of Prince Jiuzhang, and they would not mention it much, and the civil officials saw that the princes and princesses of the Prince of Jiuzhang were all gone, and they died to defend the country, and they didn't dare to say much for a while.

After all, it is a matter of martyrdom for military generals, and this military general is different from ordinary generals, it is the son of Emperor Wu's relatives, the younger brother of the first emperor's relatives, and Tianhuang noble.

Whoever said more at this time would have given ordinary political enemies an opportunity to take advantage of, and it was because the entire Dayi civil and military officials were very tacitly secretive about the matter of returning to the south to defend the generals.

And the military affairs back to the south were also sent to the Prince of Jiuzhang Mansion like snowflakes as usual.

As before, everything was adjudicated by the royal government, and it was reported again in March and sent to the case of the emperor of the Qianqing Palace in Shengjing, and there was no mistake.

It is the most difficult mid-week old man in Yushitai, and when he returned to his house, he rarely said something related to political affairs to his wife, "It is really worthy of Luoshui's single-handed growth, and under the prince Jiuquan, he should also be blinded." ”

At the end of the year of Ruihe, the countries of the Western Regions of Southern Xinjiang took advantage of the unstable situation of the new monarch of the Great Yi Dynasty to bypass the south and disperse their troops to the surrounding three cities.

Xu has read more Central Plains military books over the years, and the Chinese military generals of the DPRK do not understand poetry and books, and Nanban, who does not know the art of war, has finally learned the trick of "soldier noble and fast".

Suddenly, Pingyang, Jingyang, Liyang guards for many years comfortable, unnoticed, by the coalition forces one after another broken city, 800 miles of urgent war report sent to the capital overnight, the next day of the court in an uproar.

At that time, there was a civil court meeting advocating peace, and the eldest princess insulted her for not respecting her father and not caring for the king, and he actually hit the palace headlong and died.

At this point, the name of the eldest princess has spread all over Beijing, which is not to be mentioned later.

It is only said that the South-West Coalition Army was singing and drinking in the Pingyang General's Mansion that year, and Xi Zizi planned to set off and return the next day to eat the fattest piece of meat in their eyes - "Back to Nancheng", Prince Jiuzhang of the Great Yi led 3,000 guards to attack the Pingyang General's Mansion.

After killing several generals in southern Xinjiang, he fought and retreated, and when he returned to the south, no one in the army of Prince Jiuzhang retreated.

Huinan Erlang has received the king's order: "Swear to defend the city to the death, and the city is in the people."

However, the people who returned to the southern city spontaneously opened the city gates, claiming that the king's army would not enter and the city gates would not be closed.

The king army is heroic, and the people in the city are heroic.

For the whole thirteen days, the blood of countless men in the army stained the Huinan River and the Huinan City Wall red, which was dazzling red and dazzlingly red.

In the end, the battle was a disparity in manpower, the prince of Jiuzhang was killed in battle, and he returned to the south to break the city.

After the city was broken, Xu was particularly hindered in returning to the south, and the southern barbarians did not care about burning, killing and looting after entering the city.

On that day, Huinan wept blood, the green willows that had been in the city for four seasons withered overnight, and the silence over Huinan City was like a backwater, and the birds were scattered.

At this time, seeing that the pedestrians in the city were all plain and white, and the sadness between the eyebrows could not be concealed, the children I met along the way were all quiet.

Rong Jingqian couldn't help but think of the day when the army rushed to the south of the city without sleep, and the corpses were everywhere.

At first glance, when he returned to Nancheng on that day, Rong Jingyan went on the horse with his father to kill the enemy and galloped on the battlefield when he was a teenager.

In the end, it didn't have time.

The city is full of heroes, and the soul is broken back to the south.

Yes, the one who entered the city was the famous Da Yi Rong Shizi, who was known in Shengjing City, and the children in Shengjing City knew that the prince of Rong Wangfu was a noble person.

Rong Jingqi is a person, born in Shengjing Rong Wangfu, created a silver armor horse, broke 100 million, covered the party, collected the Turks, and was the son of Mu Yunjiao, the eldest princess of Tianjiao, and Prince Rong, who had a different surname.

When he was young, he was intelligent, well-versed in military strategy, and was liked by Renzong, and he gave words clearly.

In the sixteenth year of Tiande, he went out with his father, and the nine-year-old Rong Shizi Tianzong was a general, and he was famous for his iron fist and toughness in the Juyu War, and he succeeded in returning to the south to win a great victory.

It is rumored that he inherited the old man of Tianshan Mountain, and his Qimen Dunjia, the formation and Tao strategy are all attacked from the vertical and horizontal ghost valley.

However, although this Rong Shizi is young and ambitious, he is a notoriously weak character in the capital, and he rarely goes out of the house to interact with people.

The Da Yi Fenghua List rated it as the first son in the world, saying: Su Su Panasonic wind, high and Xu Yin, unique demeanor, unparalleled princes.

Along the way, now this city is full of vegetarians, even if you don't ask, you know, it's for the proud Prince of Jiuzhang, and for the 60,000 Hui Nanerlang who is buried here.

However, it has been more than a year, and the people are still filial piety, but it is just because Prince Jiuzhang is loved by the people in the south.

Even if you enter the south, there is absolutely no reason not to visit the lord of the south.

Although the king of Jiuzhang is gone, the prince's mansion of Jiuzhang is still there, and there is a His Royal Highness Chang'an in the mansion.

The princess had also ordered them to serve her close to her several times in the past, and she had to remind him from time to time when she was walking outside, and she could not let his temperament come.

So Yi Yi stepped forward and asked, "Shizi, but visit the Prince of Jiuzhang Mansion first?" ”

As soon as I finished asking, I suddenly understood why I had entered and returned to Nancheng, and all the way through, the city was full of vegetarians.

He couldn't help but subconsciously solemnize his face, and even his back was straight, and he had heard his brother mention the bloody battle on the thirteenth day of his return to the south.

Rong Jingqian bowed slightly, he had been to Nan this time, and he was very familiar with it, so he turned around and went to Sifang Street.

The prince of Jiuzhang defended the city and died, he was full of integrity, and his loyal soul lasted forever.

A group of people passed through the city, and when they reached Sifang Street, they saw a group of carriages and horses in front of the gate of the palace, as if they were going to go far away.

"Shizi, it's a major general!"

When you meet an old friend in a foreign country, even if you are not familiar with the old person, it is easy to be surprised for a while.

However, although he was pleasantly surprised, the young general in his mouth was not heard.

Xiu Zhao turned his back to him and chattered about a carriage.

Rong Jingyan stepped forward, as if he was strolling in a leisurely garden, and slowly approached, because he was a person who had practiced martial arts since childhood, his ears and eyes were naturally not as good as ordinary people.

When I got closer, I heard Xiu Zhao's voice instructing, "You haven't seen the scenery of the south, you can walk slowly on this road, and enjoy the great spring all the way."

In the end, he was very excited, "I haven't seen it either, and you have to walk slowly when you set off, so you have to come here for a while, so you have to be a little slower." ”

Not far away, Rong Jingqi, who grew up in the military camp since he was a child, in his mind, a man should be like his father King Rong, stepping on the horse and stepping on the mountains and rivers, and getting off the horse with pride.

Where had he ever seen such a man, listening to Xiu Zhao's mother at home chattering non-stop when their father and son went on an expedition.

No, he is more nagging than his mother.

Why didn't you find out before? The young prince did not move because of the novelty, but listened with a bright heart.

It's easy to run over and see this is the scene.

He arranged for the rest of the people to settle down in the other courtyard, and when he came, he saw the young general talking non-stop to a closed carriage, and his family was standing behind it, not avoiding it, nor coming forward.

It's very bright.

However, in the end, he was about to speak out to ask the young general's An, but he didn't want the young general to speak out again, "If you go fast, wait for me, but two days away, I will gallop very fast."

He didn't finish talking, and Sui Xin in the carriage was speechless, saying everything he didn't have, but the master didn't speak, and she had to listen.

Finally, the sound outside stopped for a while, but he didn't want his county lord to put down the scroll in his hand, lifted the curtain with his bare hands, and said very seriously, "I will wait for you to return to Beijing together, go back."

Xiu Zhao shut up, and the curtain fell.

The county lord focused on asking the young general to return, but these words fell into Sui Xin's ears, which was really a pain in his heart.

Sure enough, sure enough, the county lord of her family was different from this disciple, and she really had to wait for him to accompany her.

She lamented in the carriage.

On the other end, there were also people whose minds floated, and it was only for a moment that it was easy to see the woman in the carriage clearly.

Well, that's a good look!

His first reaction was to turn his head to look at his own son, he had also read a book for a few days, and four big words popped up in his mind, golden boy and jade girl!

I didn't want my own son to step forward directly.

"General Xiu."

It's not a young general, it's not a little boy, it's General Xiu, Xiu Zhao was very happy when he heard it, and turned to look at the people with a smile.

When I saw the people clearly, my good mood was scattered.

"Rong Shizi is a big driver, and he is obviously disappointed."

It's easy to come back to his senses, and he stepped forward to give Xiu Zhao a salute.

Xiu Zhao learned that his master and servant were the master who visited the palace, so he said bluntly, "Coincidentally, today coincides with His Royal Highness Chang'an leaving for Beijing. ”

It turned out that she was the county lord Chang'an.

"It's okay, I came to the door to disturb without handing over the prayer post, it was my rudeness first."

It is easy to be calm on the face, but in his heart he can't stop grinning for a while, Princess, where is the prince as unfamiliar as you thought before.

Look, that's pretty to say!

The guests were too polite, and Xiu Zhao, who heard this, was a little embarrassed.

There were distinguished guests who came to visit, and the host sat in the carriage, and there was no sign of wanting to come down.

He was about to speak, but a woman got out of the carriage, she was still young, and she gave a salute to Rong Jingqian when she got out of the carriage.

"I didn't know that Rong Shizi was coming, and the palace was full of brilliance, but unfortunately, the county lord was ordered to return to Beijing, and it was not good to miss the time, so I couldn't set up a banquet for the prince to catch the wind, and I asked the prince to forgive me."

The woman's face was full of apologies, but it seemed that her master didn't know how to be polite, but the words they heard about walking slowly on the road and admiring the beautiful mountains and rivers all the way were all auditory hallucinations?

It is easy to be about to speak, so it is okay that the maid who was obviously waiting next to the county lord of Chang'an spoke again, but this time it was to salute the young general Xiu.

"Young General, the county lord has a word, the honorable guest has come from afar, His Royal Highness has not been able to fulfill the landlord's suitability, and also asked the young general to entertain the distinguished guests on behalf of His Royal Highness, so as to make the guest feel at home."

Major General Xiu seemed to have an extremely good temper and agreed with a smile.

Seeing that his son was as stable as Mount Tai and very leisurely, he had to speak, "This sister is serious, the county lord has something important to do, so he will go first."

Then the servant girl gave two more salutes, and half a salute to him, he turned sideways to avoid it, and only then did he return to the huge carriage, the curtain shook slightly, but there was nothing to be seen inside and outside.

It's easy to sigh, the maids of the Prince's Mansion in these nine chapters are extremely thoughtful, even if there are some official daughters in Kyoto, they are not as good as them.

Then it was easy to see that the carriage really went first, and the county lord of Chang'an in the carriage never spoke.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually rose, and finally there was a clear sound in the car.

"Returning to the south should be for the prince to catch the wind, Chang'an is rude, he is prosperous in the palace of the nine chapters of Beijing, and a banquet is set up to congratulate the prince on his longevity."

It's easy to hear his family's son's answer, but he didn't have it in a trance, I don't know if he heard the fork.

"Waiting".

Rong Jingqian watched the carriage in front of him drift away, but what came to mind was the young girl who Yingqu Wang Ting met in the past, but her eyes were extremely stubborn.

Although so many years have passed, and Fang Cai is only a glimpse, he is enough to conclude that she is her.

That year was the eighteenth year of Tiande.

It was easy to see that Major General Xiu warmly invited Shizi to eat and drink, but Shizi looked like he had never heard of it, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

Fortunately, when Major General Xiu's sword eyebrows frowned slightly, the prince spoke, "I am on official business, and it is inconvenient to drink."

However, the young general naturally did not take the path of ordinary people, so he did not ask what official duties this Rong Shizi had come all the way here, but only said, "If the prince does not dislike it, why don't you live in the palace temporarily?" ”

Chang'an let him entertain distinguished guests, the first thing to bear the brunt of this residence is the problem, although the master of the palace is now traveling far away, Rong Jingqian will not go in to live, but Yili, I still have to ask such a mouth.

"There is General Lao", it is easy to hear his own son reply like this, and the corners of his mouth can't help twitching slightly.

There is no serious master in the palace now, the prince!

It is easy to recall the appearance of his own master who was very polite before, and his heart was quite complicated for a while.

When he raised his eyes and saw that the young general Xiu was also stunned, he was faintly sympathetic.

At this moment, Xiu Zhao's words had been exported, and it was difficult to collect the water, so he had to invite people all the way into the royal residence and the Guangming Courtyard.

Even though there is no master in the palace now, the county lord of Chang'an opened his mouth before leaving, so that he must make this Rong Jingyan feel at home.

Xiu Zhao comforted himself like this, and said with a smile, "Zhao will set up a banquet tonight to wash the dust and catch the wind for the prince, and we will definitely get drunk and rest at that time!" ”

It is easy to roll his eyes in his heart, and at this moment, this young general is obviously an image of a drunkard in his heart.

"There is no need to have a banquet", after saying that, Rong Jingqian took the lead in entering the courtyard alone, looking at this young general Xiu, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Fortunately, this young general is also an old man, and he also knows a thing or two about the temperament of this prince of Rong, who is covered with Jinghua, and knows that he is famous for his joy and quietness.

At this time, the empathetic major general followed him into the courtyard, stood under the corridor, and said loudly, "The prince came from afar all the way to the dust, and Zhao will not disturb the rest of the prince."

Yi hurriedly saluted him, and the major general was heroic and left with a smile.

It is easy to sigh that the young general is really an approachable and empathetic good general.

At this moment, as soon as Major General Xiu, who was empathetic and had a good temper, stepped out of the Guangming Courtyard, he saw the Zhengda Courtyard opposite.

He regretted it very much at the moment, and he knew that he should have taken Rong Jingqian to the other side and let Dazheng stay with him!

"Zhengda Guangming" is the name given by Prince Jiuzhang for the two guest houses when he first returned to the south.

The prince didn't like Wen Mo together, because he didn't have much interest in naming the courtyard, or when he saw that the princess was just returning to the south and was excited to name the backyard, he also took the front courtyards one by one.

And "Taisho" is a parrot that Prince Jiuzhang picked up from the battlefield, because the princess didn't like it to be noisy day and night, so the prince took it and slipped it to the guest house in front of the front yard farthest from the backyard.

Xiu Zhao hurried all the way towards the outside of the palace.

Fang Cai Rong Jingqian has already made it clear that he is on official business, and now that he has taken the initiative to show up and live in the palace, since he is in the clear place, what is he afraid of.

At most, it's just that the Imperial City has some news to catch the wind and shadows, and it's not a big deal.

Thinking like this in his heart, Xiu Zhao turned around and went to the barracks, the major general thought that the top priority was to reorganize the military camp in the south, no matter what, he still had to confirm it with his own eyes before he could feel at ease.

As for the steward Qi on the other end, when he heard the young general's order that the distinguished guests in the Guangming Courtyard should not be treated slowly, he hurriedly left before he carefully asked the distinguished guests what they were afraid of.

It was the housekeeper who had to go to the front yard in person and find a waiting question.

When I learned that it was a rare person to live in the Royal Guest House, and it was still the prince of Prince Rong who came from the capital, it was really a stream of pastries from all over the place to the Guangming Temple.

Without him, the housekeeper also went to the battlefield with Prince Jiuzhang in his early years, and he also fought with Prince Rong a few times, and later Chengyuan was lame in the war because he saved a young general.

Prince Jiuzhang looked at the face of his elder brother, Qi Yang, the chief steward of the palace in the capital, and left him here to go back to the Jiuzhang palace in Nancheng to be a housekeeper, and it has been fifteen years since then.

When he was still in the army, the prince occasionally said in his spare time that King Rong was fond of sweetness, and it didn't hurt to march and fight.

If you are outside the battlefield and you are careless about eating, the old guy will not be easily fooled.

The prince always likes to call the old guy Rong Wang, although they are only three years apart in age.

Thinking of his own prince, Qi Liang couldn't help but look gloomy, God is jealous of talents, God is jealous of talents.

Qi Liang thought like this, and only hoped that God would have mercy and let his county lord have a smooth and worry-free life.

can be as the prince originally hoped, happy and happy, peaceful and happy.

But he said that after Xiu Zhao left, it was easy to go in and serve his master, and after thinking about it in his heart, the words rolled and rolled on the tip of his tongue, and finally he couldn't help but make a sound.

"Lord Shizi, let's come to other people's mansions as guests, and the host's family banquet is a courtesy, and it is also respectful."

So don't be cold to people at every turn.

"The Loyal and Brave General's Mansion and the Royal Mansion are married?"

Rong Jingyan's casual words were easy to be shocked.

"Shizi, how important is a woman's reputation, how can you, how can you" How can you count it, and you don't dare to say it easily.

His family is not sophisticated, but he can't stand up to the high power, except for the prince and the one in the imperial city, who dares to say that he is not.

But he is easy to be just a minion, how dare he be presumptuous, but he reads the princess's instructions before leaving, and it is easy to not know how to speak for a while.

Rong Jingqian looked at his appearance of wanting to spin in place, and made a conclusion in a deep voice, "Then it can't be considered a master."

It's easy to grow up with your own master since you were a child, and you can understand this sentence anyway.

Thinking of the words of the county lord of Chang'an before he left the mansion, did his own prince feel that he had to wait for him to return to Beijing to set up a banquet in person?

It's easy to suddenly understand it again.

After the prince finished speaking, it was rare to take a look at it, and it was easy to instantly have an inexplicable feeling, I don't know what his master meant, he was thinking about it carefully, but he listened to his own son continue, "Don't spread falsehoods."

Naturally, if Rong Cheng is here, he must say "beat a rake" in his heart.

But it was easy to not be Rong Cheng after all, at this time he was already stunned and had not come back to his senses, so he had to honestly claim that it was.

In his limited experience, he didn't know what to say at this time, and he had already begun to honestly reflect on his own rumors.
