Chapter Forty-Nine: The clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle
The mountains and rivers of Qianyanzhou in Xikou raise people, and the villagers are full of self-confidence. Tanhualang's return to his hometown is a big event in Qianyanzhou, nine rivers and eighteen streams, and the enthusiastic villagers carry wild game and fresh food to Cui Hanzhang's body.
Even the sea tide eats with relish, and there are also delicacies in the mountains and wilderness. Since leaving the northern battlefield, he has been unusually quiet. Presumably it is rare to be idle, and he soaked in the kitchen when he had nothing to do, only to see him peel and cut the gourd, cut the cooked mutton into thin slices, mix it with ginger juice, and fry it in the pot with the thin shredded noodles, and then add salt, balsamic vinegar, and green onions to mix into a soup, and everyone ate it straight to their mouths.
Lian Haichao ate very casually, and after a few sips, he smiled and said to the people who were immersed in eating: "This pot of gourd soup is not only appetizing, but also can quench thirst, and facilitate the effect of urinating." ”
"When we go out to get off the horse noodles with dumplings, we can be regarded as eating the noodles from the horse, and our hearts are much more steady, and I am too lazy to talk about things in the north."
"Brother Lian, I didn't expect you to have such a skill, the soup made of medicine and food is of the same origin, nourishing and nourishing qi, and you are not from a famous and rich family." Cui Hanzhang admired him sincerely and couldn't help but praise.
"After the fart is famously rich, now I will be a lost dog, and I will follow you Cui Tanhua to eat." Lian Haichao bit the toothpick in his mouth and said nonchalantly.
"This soup was taught to me by my mother when I was a child, and the old man didn't let me cook at the beginning, saying that the gentleman was far away from cooking, but how did his old man know, in addition to this hobby of eating, where would I care about other things?"
"Don't mention these things about Chen sesame and rotten grain, now my brother and I are Cui Haichao, a distant relative in Tanhualang's mansion, I have taken refuge to eat and drink together, Master Tanhua, you don't dislike me for being ugly, right?"
"Brother Haichao is serious, the poor alley and the humble house can enter your eyes, Hanzhang is grateful, as long as I have a bite to eat in the future, I will not starve Brother Haichao." Cui Hanzhang hurriedly got up and stepped forward to support Cui Haichao, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Quail soup, crab soup, tofu soup, three fresh boiled bone soup, bamboo shoot spicy soup, yellow croaker soup, belly spicy soup, etc., if I let go of my hands and feet, keep the round and round food that Xiao Xuanzi and Lingmei eat." Cui Haichao looked at Cui Xuan and Han Ling still holding the bowl and couldn't help but tease.
"Hahahaha, round and round." When everyone heard this, they saw that the eyes of the two people were still in love with the bowl, and they couldn't help laughing......
The bamboo forest on the right side of the small courtyard of Cui's family reproduces rapidly, now it is vast like a verdant sea of clouds, the light rain is moist and emerald green like drops, the mountain breeze blows, swaying in turn, it is beautiful, it is sunny and rainy every day, so a comfortable and leisurely.
The divine light is vertical and horizontal to the north and south, the territory is vast, and the 90,000 miles of mountains and rivers cannot fit into the hearts of the homecoming wanderers.
In this idyllic and leisurely countryside, the emotions of the old days are rippling in my heart at this moment, like old wine, without the brewing and dust of time, and I don't feel its fragrance.
Ignore the king's affairs and sleep until three poles a day.
Cui Hanzhang recalled the bits and pieces with Mingwei in Xikou, this is the feeling of first love, an inexplicable misunderstanding, a pair of eyebrows and flirtatious exchanges, a feeling of heart, a hand-holding like an electric shock, a heart-wrenching date, a haunting fantasy, a panicked kiss, a trembling hug, all these sneaky sweetness, imprinted in his life.
He clearly remembered how he suppressed the excitement and uneasiness in his heart, smelled the refreshing smell like a bellflower, searched everywhere, and the first sweet softness conquered him.
The touch between the lips and teeth expands from dots to faces, and the shallow licking of the tip of the tongue seems to be lightly scratched by feathers, which not only melts the clumsy tongue, but also tickles their uneasy emotions.
The two people did not have any intention, the entanglement was so natural, exchanging sweet touches, not only the lips and tongues, but the pure love was being transmitted to each other.
Cui Hanzhang buried Mingwei with his own hands, and quietly guarded Mingwei's tombstone every day, and the rest of his life was really long. Wine is not drunk and everyone is drunk, during this time the wine enters the liver and sausage, accompanied by morning and dusk, the old wine at home has been drunk, sometimes drunk in the bamboo forest is a sound, even the tide does not stop him, the two can always find their own memories in the wine glass, but it is bitter Cui Xuan's little brother, and then simply find a cart to drag back the two lying corpses.
In another month, Cui Hanzhang didn't bother to run back and forth, so he simply shouted that Cui Xuan had built a thatched house, which could shelter him from the wind and rain, and he could lie drunk and watch the stars:
"Mingwei, I still remember the night when I first met, it was also so starry, if Mingtang hadn't been fooling me, I wouldn't have made such a big mess in front of my future daughter-in-law......"
The night was silent, only the breeze came slowly, blowing the sound of the bamboo forest.
"They are all hard-working people, the scenery in front of the master Tanhua is infinite, and the back is miserable." Cui Haichao took a sip of wine and said vaguely.
"You say that in this world, good people do not live long, and disasters last for thousands of years. The two of us who should die have crawled out of the pile of dead people in a daze, but innocent and good people can't avoid the disaster of innocence. Cui Hanzhang said this sadly, and only the wine in his hand could dispel his sorrows.
"Let's two of us, half a catty and half a tael, I am a broken family, you are a wife and a wife, oh, you don't have a son, since God doesn't have long eyes, Lao Tzu has to live to see it." The two brothers who were born and died each hugged a clay altar and touched it, and drunk each other happily.
At the beginning of the night wind, blowing the veil of the crescent moon, the crescent moon lingered on the treetops, listening attentively, but it was Cui Haichao's snoring in the ear, and there was a murmuring sound between the mouths, which was really a terrible scenery.
Cui Hanzhang raised his eyes to look into the distance, the lights were lit, and the red light on the ridge in the distance reflected the sky, igniting the night, and he was also confused in a trance, although he could not feel the long pulse of the Xikou landscape like Lou Yueshan and Cui Haichao, but his understanding of this landscape is deep in the bone marrow, and every stream seems to flow in his own blood, this natural intimacy is incomparable.
Sometimes he felt that he could sleep peacefully in any corner of the mountains and rivers, and sleep until his dreams were fragrant, as if he was back in his mother's womb.
In the dream, there are swords and swords, shouting to kill the heavens, and there are also blowing horns and camps, and thousands of arrows are fired together, and in the end it all comes down to a vague face, which will be gentle as water, affectionate, and cold and hateful, looking like Ming Wei and Murong Yanran, but they are all smiling at him, and that kind of laughter makes his back cold and shudder.
Although the people hid in the mouth of the stream to recuperate, the names of the two spread throughout Taikang City. Cui Hanzhang, the commander of the rangers, and Lian Haichao, the Tianzi battalion of the Euphorbia, have already been on the list of the nobles and nobles of various families, especially some boudoir women heard that the two of them were single and lonely, and their admiration for heroes was naturally overflowing.
The battle of the Northern Expedition is the top priority for Shenguang in the past hundred years, such a victory is doubly inspiring, and the sense of persecution in the Beihu pressure has been greatly alleviated.
The two princes are naturally on the list, King Pingkang Mu is at the top of the list, his martial arts are great to destroy the city and destroy the country, and Liu Zhilun, who is respected by later generations as a god, is a "Theory of the Situation" Luoyang paper is expensive, and the children of the poor family have a book in their hands, and they read it hard. Tanhualang Cui Hanzhang followed closely behind, with poetry in his left hand and a gun in his right hand, and thousands of troops and horses embroidered foxes. The second soldier will plant Li Qingshan, Kun Gong knife Lian Haichao, Jiang Jiayushu Jiang Yunlang, border army Yao Daguan, and the whereabouts of the unknown Zekang Wang, these eight in the Shenguang Dynasty called for a high voice, straight to catch up with the nine famous men under the command of Taizu, especially among them are mostly bachelors, but also attracted thousands of girls to fall for it, the eight horses hanging on the Ming Jin Tower marching map will be all Junyan depicted in detail, vivid, it is said that it has been sold for twenty gold a piece, not to mention the various copies of folk painters.
There is also a whisper in the upper boudoir in Taikang City: "Marrying a candidate for eight horses, I have no regrets in my life." ”
"The world is out of my generation, and the years are urging when I enter the rivers and lakes." This is what Li Qingshan's guy often says, and now I don't know where this guy is hiding and licking his wounds, but I don't know what kind of injury his mantra was pronounced by Cui Hanzhang, depicting the war between the two countries.
"Although I haven't seen Li Qingshan and Huan Tan, I can't believe all kinds of rumors, how can such heroes die so easily, and I don't see the corpses of the dead, I vaguely feel that our old rivals will get together again." Cui Haichao made a judgment on this matter, with his current half foot stepping into the realm of refining gods, the induction in the dark is indescribable, but he is very sure.
"Take a look, in the future, Hejian, Shuofang and Jiatong Guanfu towns will be unified, Yuzhou will be set up, the soldiers and horses will be returned to the control of King Kangmu, and the grain and grass civil administration will be temporarily ruled by Dong Baozhen of Hejian Mansion." Cui Hanzhang read the information in his hand and transferred it to Cui Haichao.
"You have good luck in the same year, but I'm afraid that the little daughter-in-law will be angry at both ends in the future. With Yuzhou confronting the twelve states of Youyun, the southwest ghost department took the initiative to attach, draw Qianyin, Bashu town for Bazhou, set up the general of Zhenzhou, the great elder of the ghost department was ordered to enter Beijing to pray for blessings, and the flying general Yao Daguan sat in Bazhou, and his Lao Tzu was promoted back to the dynasty to seal the Shangzhu State and Shulanxuan University Scholar, and it was really a century-old chess game. Cui Haichao couldn't help but ridicule a few words after reading it, and the situation finally became clear.
"I feel that the emergence of Yuzhou Bazhou may open the reshuffle of the local forces of the Shenguang Dynasty, and it will affect the whole body."
"It seems that these days have not been wasted, I thought that your kid was going to get drunk and die in the love of his children." Lou Yueshan strode into the thatched hut.
Cui Hanzhang hurriedly got up and helped the teacher sit down and poured wine for him.
"Ah...... Spicy,"
"Sure enough, it's a country brew, it's enough to rush." Lou Yueshan wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then said:
"Two Beijings, Kyushu, and thirty-two prefectures, this is the latest pattern. The old men of the Taiyuan have been planning for ten years, and they are about to put it into practice with the help of this Eastern Expedition, if they don't redivide the pattern, the Shenguang Dynasty will not use foreign enemies, and they will also decay. ”
"Flowing water does not rot, and the hub does not beetle." Cui Haichao muttered in his mouth.
"Even the kid is good, he can figure out this relationship, and he won't lose his arm if he breaks it." Lou Yueshan pointed to Cui Haichao's drooping left sleeve.
"If you don't encounter these major events, how can you be blessed to practice this body cultivation, conform to the time of the day, everything has a reason, you and my apprentice Hanzhang's numerology cause and effect disputes, the combination is mutually beneficial, and the Lian family will be blessed and extended in the land of Kyushu."
Cui Haichao's divine sense was obvious, and the momentum of Lou Yueshan in front of him was like an autumn wind, sweeping the entire valley, hovering in the air, filling every square inch, this feeling made him suddenly understand that he was not the only one who was on the Divine Refining Path, someone had already walked in front of him, and the original ignorant groping suddenly had a bright direction, and this sudden surprise made his heart surge.
"Taikang is Kyoto, so where is the other capital? Yuzhou and Bazhou have also appeared, where are the other seven states? Thirty-two mansions are so many? Cui Hanzhang was more concerned about this aspect of the matter, and asked with a smile.
"The heavenly machine cannot be revealed, this matter is slowly plotted, Jialong naturally has his plan, a capital is the capital, a capital is the world's trade goods, if this matter comes true is a thousand-year plan, my divine light is not capped."
"Now the hottest thing in the Shenguang Dynasty is your eight horses, and the eight heroes are born in the world. Who would have thought that the countryside would hide Tanhualang and Kun Gongdao, and spread it out to Jianyang Xikou, which will surely move Kyushu. Lou Yueshan stroked his beard and laughed, looking at his beloved disciple, he was really satisfied.
In fact, he undercounted the god refining master Lou Yueshan himself, thinking that he and Cui Haichao were on the heavenly list, there are such two martial arts giants in Xikou Eighteen Streams, what kind of martial arts fortune should be, think that the divine light in Kyoto Taikang City, it is difficult to see two or three martial arts masters meet in ordinary times, otherwise when the masters of the heavenly list meet, there will be an earth-shattering battle under the chaos of the qi machine.
Lou Yueshan meditates and cultivates in the Taishi Building and Xikou Ancestral Hall all the year round, which is naturally more sensitive to the evolution of the qi machine, and the thread head vein deduced in the dark is carefully brushed and grasped more tightly, and his view of the Lian family is also unique, it must be known that in the next hundred years, Lianjiabao as a martial arts family is a faint leader, and it is like a mythical existence in the land of Zhanzhou.
"Hanzhang, you can't hide at the mouth of the stream all the time, Li Qingshan's whereabouts are unknown, and the rangers are now leaderless; King Zekang has been taken back to Yunlin Jiang's family, and no one knows that he is unconscious outside, and no one knows what the specific injury is. Now, the Black Flag Army, the Ranger Army, and the Border Army are the three main forces in the north, and both of you have to go back to lead the army, especially the Euphorbia Tianzi Battalion, which must not fall into the hands of the Xiao family. "Although Lou Yueshan stays at Xikou, he knows the situation in the north well.
"I'll stay in Xikou to guard my home, I'm from the rivers and lakes, so I should naturally return to the rivers and lakes. Cui Hanzhang, if you want to stand firm in the court, the rangers should be held in your hands, I estimate that Li Qingshan has not shown up for a long time, which also means this. Cui Haichao didn't go around in circles and said his thoughts straightforwardly.
"Everything will wait until the saint returns to Beijing, now we don't go to Yuzhou to cause chaos, but we can see more clearly when we retreat to Xikou, if someone wants to jump, let him jump, the higher the jump, the better." Cui Hanzhang thought about it for a while, since it is not easy to go through the world, he has to live clearly.
"The struggle between the Xiao family and the Jiang family is treacherous, and the two capitals and Kyushu Kanyu map are already planned in the heart of the saint, and to stabilize the chaos in the north is to clean up the poison in the south. I don't know where Mingtang is now, I'm a little worried about him. Cui Hanzhang was quite worried about this eldest brother at this time, after all, Mingwei was gone, and the two old men in Cui's mansion couldn't withstand the blow of the bereavement, and they were already seriously ill, and Mingtang couldn't have any more accidents.
"Mingtang should be alive and well, although the news has been cut off, but the old man made a hexagram for him yesterday, showing that he is still in the north." The apprentice travels thousands of miles, and the master's family is worried. When meditating in the ancestral hall, it is inevitable that he will start a hexagram on a whim, and the hexagram is obscure, but all signs indicate that this apprentice who is proficient in business has gone out of his own way.
"The chaotic situation in the north, Mingtang is alone in a foreign land, which is really uneasy, and I have to send someone to visit secretly when I go back."
"I'll let people do this thing when I look back, there are many people in the rivers and lakes, people of all colors, etc., the most suitable for probing the news, tracking and stalking, you sit in the temple, I am mixed in the rivers and lakes, and there is always a way out to do things." Cui Haichao said that there was nothing wrong with this, and Lou Yueshan nodded again and again.
"Look, there's still a small burden, the old man won't open it for you, saying that the noble man in the capital entrusted someone to bring you supplements." Lou Yueshan shook off a delicate little baggage, although the burden is small but bulging, at a glance it is full of good things, the pattern of a hundred birds and a phoenix is reflected on the smooth satin, and it is an object flowing out of the palace at a glance.
You don't have to think about it to know that it is a supplement sent by Princess Yunlan, and in the past three months, the woman in the palace is sincere, which is really moving, Cui Hanzhang also sent a letter to report his safety, and politely declined his concern, but he couldn't stop the enthusiasm of Taikang City.
"Ahem, ahem."
If you like someone, it's always good. Queen Xiao is from the past, and Cui Tanhua is the favorite candidate, and her daughter's vision is still good, which is with her mother.
With the bridge of fate, my daughter and Cui Tanhua will eventually meet in the landscape, and everyone in the palace is happy to see it.
Cui Hanzhang is not unaware of Princess Bai Yunlan's intentions, which girl does not have spring, and the falling flowers are intentional, but he is ruthless at this time, he is a widower, how can He De be favored by him, not to mention the most favored princess of the Shenguang Dynasty, the marriage is naturally not up to herself, the queen mother and the queen have picked up the sons of wealthy families in Beijing, and he is not willing to become the target of public criticism.
In others envy him for his prideful spring breeze and horseshoe disease, serving the emperor to drive the Northern Expedition, but who knows what pain he has experienced in just half a year, and who cares about his life and death, as if since he took the big exam, the people around him have suffered one after another, his grandmother died, his wife was poisoned and died, his brother Mingtang went away, and he was seriously injured and dying, even if he himself felt that dying in Youyun City was the greatest relief.
In the middle of the night, when he was carried back to Taikang City to lick his wounds, he was like half a dead man, didn't he think that Tanhualang's life would be short? Only Princess Yunlan still cares about him as much as before, asks the doctor to administer medicine, shush the cold and ask for warmth, if he says that he is not moved, it is fake, and he is not a hard-hearted person.
"Trouble the master to return this burden, I have no blessing to accept, let alone intend to consume." Cui Hanzhang bowed and bowed.
"Hahahaha......"
"You, everything is good, how did you come across this matter of beauty, and your brain is all mush?"
"You can return the things yourself, old man, I will send you a word, there are flowers that can be picked straight and must be picked, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches, his Jialong's daughter is also a woman, if she is a woman, she has to marry and have children, if you don't follow you, will you stay and be arched by pigs?" Lou Yueshan is also rare to tease him.
Even Cui Haichao next to him couldn't help laughing, inserted his face into the wine jar, raised his neck, and drank heavily, mixed with a bad smile in the middle, if he hadn't exchanged his life to kill the enemy, he really couldn't see how neatly and neatly Cui Hanzhang, who was polite and polite, killed people, and even the embroidered fox Murong Yanran was not destroyed by his spicy hands, and his true colors were fully revealed, and he couldn't imagine that he could accept the kindness of the little girls, and he was so twisted and pinched............
