Chapter 11: Homecoming
Chapter 11: Homecoming
"I have long heard that General Feng's children have grown up in the military since childhood, and I only realized that the rumors are true when I saw them today."
Liu Gengsheng looked at Feng Fengshi and led his troops to leave, and then said in confusion: "But he has been ordered to be stationed in Shangjun with a festival, how could he suddenly return to the capital, could it be related to this draft?"
"Draft?!" Chen Tang said regretfully: "What a heroic female general, but she has to take off her battle robe, put on a red suit, and then flatter an old man with many women, thinking about it, I feel that a good cabbage is arched by a pig!"
Liu Gengsheng hurriedly blocked Chen Tang's mouth and admonished: "Brother Xian must be cautious in what he says and does in the future, just talk about it in front of his brother, if you let others listen and accuse you of slandering the king, then you will be cut off and abandon the city."
"When you see people who only speak three points, you can't throw away all your hearts; Leave half a sentence on the lips of the words, and let three points when the matter comes to an end; Experienced in the world, he rarely speaks, sees through people's feelings but nods!" Chen Tang read a limerick, patted Liu Gengsheng's arm, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, like those boring people, the principle of the younger brother has always been to respect ......and stay away."
"Seeing people only say three points, you can't throw away all your heart......" Liu Gengsheng as a literary scholar, these poems and songs are particularly interested, and he suddenly became interested: "These few short lines of poetry are simply exquisite, and they give full play to Taoist thought to the extreme, who is this virtuous brother?" But it's a good work! ”
"The little brother also heard someone talk about it by chance, I think it's a common saying handed down in the pre-Qin period!"
Chen Tang, as a three-good young man with all-round development of morality, intellect and physique, naturally would not be cheeky enough to steal the fruits of other people's labor, and shook his head in denial.
"It's a pity!" Liu Gengsheng looked up at the sky at 45 degrees, and said ambitiously: "First Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, and then Xiang Yu burned Xianyang City, which led to the destruction of the real history of pre-Qin literature, so the foolish brother has a wish, which is to collect anecdotes from the historical materials of the previous generations and set them into a book for future generations!"
Chen Tang said with admiration: "My brother has this ambition, which is really meritorious in the present generation, and beneficial in the future, and the younger brother admires it!"
Liu Geng laughed and said: "Hahaha, if I complete this move in my lifetime, I will definitely let the virtuous brother be the first to know, and then there will be Lao Xiandi to proofread the foolish brother!"
"The elder brother has a word, and the younger brother dares not to serve his life." Chen Tang assured.
The two chatted while walking, talking about the past and the present, and unconsciously went out of the city gate and came to the outside of the long pavilion.
Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green......
There are many people gathered here to bid farewell to friends, some people hug their heads and cry, some people say goodbye with tears, some people force their faces to laugh, some people get drunk and carnival, the scene is very solemn.
Chen Tang and Liu Gengsheng reacted at this time, and they had walked ten miles unconsciously.
Chen Tang was slightly stunned, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't want my brother to send him, but I didn't expect it to be sent ten miles."
Liu Gengsheng shook his head and said regretfully: "Talking to the virtuous brother, if you drink mellow mash, you don't feel drunk, and you have arrived at the Changting Pavilion unconsciously!" The time to get together is always short, and I am very reluctant to think that my brother is about to go away, but I don't know when I will see each other next time. ”
At this moment, although Chen Tang had thousands of words in his heart, he was stuck in his throat and couldn't speak, so he turned over and got on the horse, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and walked away.
But he shouted: "Take care of your brother, and your little brother will go!"
Liu Gengsheng stood in place, waved his hand, and whispered: "You also take care, I hope you will find out the real murderer as soon as possible and return your innocence!"
………… Dividing line ............
After a few hours of travel, the sky gradually became gloomy, and the wind and clouds changed color, Chen Tang knew that this was the prelude to the coming storm, so he quickly stepped up and tried to find the inn and find the inn before the storm came.
"Boom ......"
A lightning bolt pierced the sky, followed by a thunderclap and a thunderbolt, and suddenly a fierce wind howled, and a downpour of rain accompanied by lightning and thunder followed.
Chen Tang instantly became a soup chicken, and the rain on his forehead flowed into his eyes, Chen Tang quickly closed his eyes and shook his head to shake off the rain.
The horse under Chen Tang's crotch was obviously frightened by the lightning and thunder, and it was like a wild horse that had been unleashed, and it jumped hard, Chen Tang tightly tied the horse rope, grasped the direction, and let it run wild.
Fortunately, it was raining and there were no pedestrians on the road, otherwise at this rate, I am afraid that there would have been a car accident.
After running for about half a column of incense, the horse gradually quieted down and stopped...... Raising the horse's hooves...... It was panting incessantly, apparently exhausted by long periods of intense exercise.
Chen Tang jumped down and stroked its head, the horse was very reluctant to avoid it several times, but his eyes could not escape Chen Tang's clutches, and gradually the horse became docile.
"Horses...... If you don't leave, you will really have to sleep on the streets, with the rain as your companion......" Chen Tang stroked down his head, the horse seemed to like this feeling very much, his head kept rubbing into Chen Tang's arms, Chen Tangton laughed heartily and said: "Are you not sleeping on the street either, since this is the case, let's go."
Chen Tang led the horse, braved the storm, and walked forward.
After Chen Tang's unremitting walking, he finally found a guest house, Chen Tang excitedly pulled the horse to drive him over, and when he got closer, he found that the door was closed, and it turned out to be closed.
Chen Tang pulled the horse and walked up, banged on the door, and shouted: "Shop...... When the door is opened, pedestrians from afar want to stay here for one night, and hope that the store will be convenient. ”
There was no movement inside, Chen Tang banged on the door again, and his voice expanded a little: "Shop, open the door to save your life, the price is negotiable......
At this time, there was some movement inside, and Chen Tang saw a ray of light through the crack in the door.
"It's so late...... Anyone else coming? "Listen to the voice...... It was the voice of an old man, the old man scolded, and then slowly opened a crack in the door, and saw the young man outside the door, with a sword eyebrow, a handsome appearance, wearing a white robe, wearing a hair crown, holding a sword on his waist with one hand, and holding a horse rope with the other, his eyes immediately lit up, and he smiled flatteringly: "Where does Childe come from?" Where are they going? Can it be with a wayguide? ”
Chen Tang took out the road that had been prepared long ago from his arms and handed it to the old man, and replied: "I came from the capital and went to my hometown, Shanyang County, Banqiu County."
The old man held the oil lamp, stretched out and looked at it carefully, and after making sure that it was correct, he put the old soup inside, and the old soup wiped the rain off his face, walked in, and said to the old man: "The store prepared hot water for me, and then got some food, and also got some food for my horse.
The old man naturally did not refuse, and instructed the men to lead the horse to the stable and prepare the feed, while the old man was facing the road at this time to fill in the information in the store book and register it, and then note the date, so that the officials could come to check it in the future!
