Men in the first life, for what?

In the final analysis, in addition to the most primitive family affection, most men's pursuits are only two things: money and women.

Now there is a woman in Xiangyang City.

It's beautiful and enchanting.

It's also very rich.

When the pursuit of merging into one tentacle is timely, there is nothing that a man does not dare to take risks, even if he knows that the woman is not simple, and after making this vote, it is likely to attract the revenge of the government, but the person whose heart is to hell, what is he afraid of?

After the big deal is in hand, take the woman west to Shuzhong, the Daliang official mansion can do anything, there are rich and beautiful people, and this life is worth it.

That's the good thing about troubled times.

Outside Zhou Ji's rouge shop, Li Ruyu was already covered with Su Su's trophies, standing outside the door bored, and now he finally understood the helplessness of the few big men on Lin'an Yu Street.

I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of Xiangyang City today.

Rouge Willow, who looks extremely delicate, makes people can't guess its gender at all, walked by, looked at Li Ruyu and smiled, walked straight into the store, came to Su Su's side, and said, "This 'water and clouds' rouge is not good, it is easy to harden when stored, and the color is too moist, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, the little lady should try Zhou Ji's signature 'Jun Zilai' rouge, which is definitely not worse than those century-old shops in Lin'an." ”

Su Su Wan'er smiled, and glanced at Rouge Willow with a charming eye, "You also know rouge?" ”

Rouge Willow smiled softly, but she had a woman's style, even in front of Su Su, she was still not inferior to coquettishness, "I understand a little, I still chose this name." ”

The boss on the side greeted Rouge Willow.

Su Su then reached out and took the box of rouge that Rouge Liu said, "Then try it?" ”

Outside the door, Li Ruyu had a headache.

Dedicated to hospitality for no reason, either treacherous or thief, I am afraid that this rouge willow has ulterior motives.

However, Su Su, a heartless woman, didn't realize it, and when she came out of Zhou Ji's rouge shop, she had already become acquaintances with Rouge Willow, and after a little shopping, the two became ...... Well.

Li Ruyu thought about it for a long time and felt that there was only one word to describe it: sisters in the boudoir.

However, annatto may also be male......

By the time we returned, it was already dusk, after all, the night of deep winter had fallen very early.

Rouge Willow warmly invited Su Su to the mansion as a guest.

Li Ruyu was not invited.

Su Su didn't seem to have any intention of bringing Li Ruyu, she smiled and said yes, yes, and then took the big bag from Li Ruyu's hand, didn't say a word, and just followed Rouge Willow.

Let's go......

Su Su's absolutely, it's as if Li Ruyu is just a personal item that he says will be thrown away.

That's embarrassing.

Li Ruyu has been messy in the wind for a long time, I don't know why, I feel very unhappy in my heart, I can't tell whether it is loss or anger, or embarrassment, anyway, I feel that it is not pleasing to the eye to look at the rouge willow that is indistinguishable between male and female.

Immediately a little helpless.

Is this woman Su Su lacking roots, how long have you known Rouge Willow, you dare to follow you to the mansion as a guest, and you are a charming woman who doesn't know swords, let alone mystical Taoism, so you are not afraid that others will sneer at you tonight.

When the time comes, you will make the heavens and the earth not right, and you will cry.

Immediately, Li Ruyu remembered an embarrassing thing: since Kaifeng went south, he had no money on him, and now that Su Su has run away, how can he solve it at night, do you live in the bridge cave?

Li Ruyu's sadness...... I'm also a person who owns real estate in Lin'an, so why am I so shabby.

The streets are getting quieter.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Ruyu decided to go to the Xiangyang Prefect, or to the Beizhen Fusi of Xiangyang Mansion, but he hadn't found anyone to ask for directions, and someone had already come to the door.

It was a simple middle-aged man, extremely fat, with fat on his face that almost covered his eyes, and a smiling Maitreya appeared in front of Li Ruyu and said with a smile: "Lord Li, Lord Prefect is invited." ”

Li Ruyu was stunned, "You know me?" ”

The fat man was still smiling, "The subordinates just follow orders, and ask the adults to move." ”

Li Ruyu but go.

I never thought that the prefect of Xiangyang was an old acquaintance, it was the governor of Jiangqiu Prefecture back then, and then transferred to the prefect of Xingyuan Mansion Cui Sheng, after Zhao Changyi entered Shuzhong, Cui Sheng was transferred to Xiangyang Mansion, from Xingyuan Mansion to Xiangyang Mansion, it seems to be a flat tone, but it is actually an upward trajectory of his career.

Xingyuan Mansion is on Lizhou Road, between Kaifeng and Shuzhong Jinguancheng, and now Xingyuan Mansion is not under the control of Lin'an, but Xiangyang Mansion is different, not only will not experience war, but it is closer to Lin'an.

And the empress asked him to take charge of the military town in Xiangyang Mansion, so there is no meaning of reuse - after all, this product is from the Cui family of Qinghe, and it is also the second-class eye of Yong'an for six years, and it is still the fifth year of Yong'an's martial arts.

It deserves to be called a Confucian general.

When the empress intended to weaken the world's family, Cui Sheng could still climb steadily, which shows that this person does have real materials.

Cui Sheng's career trajectory is really enviable.

A dinner party that is not grand, Cui Sheng did not dare to snub Li Ruyu, after all, he was in the court, and he knew the terrible thing about Li Ruyu, it can be said that Li Ruyu's weight is definitely not weaker than a six-part Shangshu.

What's more, the will of Lin'an has been sent to the state capitals, and Li Ruyu is now a six-rank official, only one level lower than his own prefect - of course, he is still a lot worse than himself.

Although Cui Sheng is the prefect of the fifth grade, he is a professional official, and the civil and prose official is a doctor of the fourth grade.

It is a normal dinner party that seems simple, there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they are all ordinary wine and meat.

There are only two guests of honor, Cui Sheng and Li Ruyu, and the one who is sitting with Cui Sheng's wife, who is also from the Cui family of Qinghe, but is a side branch, with average facial features, but virtuous and dignified.

And the one who accompanied Li Ruyu was a big guy invited from Xiangyang Qinglou...... Well, everyone who sells their art and doesn't sell their bodies.

Her stage name is Wanwan.

It's just that it's not like those people on the Qinhuai River, who are both talented and beautiful, this woman named Wanwan is not outstanding in appearance, she is middle-to-top, but she is perfect in her piano skills, and she can be called a grandmaster.

And I heard Cui Sheng say that what this woman is really good at is not the piano, but calligraphy, and said that women can't take the imperial examination, otherwise it may be this woman who is a high school calligrapher instead of you Li Ruyu.

Li Ruyu laughed.

But when Wanwan heard that Li Ruyu was the leader of art calligraphy in the first year of Yongzhen, the look in her eyes changed significantly, and she couldn't help but ask abruptly: "The little official is the leader of calligraphy who let the old minister Liu Zhengqing embrace "Chivalrous Travel" into the ground?!" ”

Li Ruyu smiled, and everyone had a good impression of this woman, "It's a fluke." ”

Cui Sheng laughed, "The old minister Liu Zhengqing created his own willow font, which can be called a generation of grandmasters, and it is not a fluke to let him embrace your masterpiece into the earth immortal." ”

The first time someone touted it like this, Li Ruyu was slightly embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Cui Sheng didn't embarrass Li Ruyu, Wanwan was even more considerate and accepted it when she saw it, and poured fruit wine for Li Ruyu, just looking at Li Ruyu again, her eyes were full of worship and admiration.

Three rounds of drinking.

Cui Sheng's wife made an excuse to go to the back house, and Wanwan also sensibly went to the screen to play the piano, leaving Li Ruyu and Cui Sheng to sit and talk opposite each other.

"Have you received your majesty's decree?"

Li Ruyu nodded, and there was some surprise in his heart, it was obvious that Su Su was a fake will, how could he still be recuperating in Caizhou, and the empress let her go to Shuzhong's holy decree.

The Empress is an unpredictable prophet?

Cui Sheng laughed meaningfully, "You don't have to be surprised, I estimated that Your Majesty expected this matter, after all, our Princess Su-" Speaking of this, Cui Sheng's expression was very strange, both narrow and envious: "After all, our Princess Su is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

Li Ruyu smiled bitterly, and immediately remembered something, "This stupid woman was invited by Rouge Willow to be a guest, will it be dangerous?" ”

Cui Sheng shook his head, "It's hard to say." ”

Immediately said: "Xiangyang is too complicated, mixed with fish and dragons, even the imperial court is not easy to solve, and it is impossible to dispatch the north and south to suppress the Fu Division, so we can only maintain the current status quo." ”

Li Ruyu was surprised, "What do you say?" ”

Cui Sheng sighed and asked Li Ruyu rhetorically: "Although you are an art scholar, you should know about the Xiangyang offensive and defensive battles more than a hundred years ago?" ”

Li Ruyu nodded slowly.

During the Xuanhe period, after fifteen years of fierce Northern Barbarian soldiers, the iron cavalry stepped on the Guanshan Mountain and broke into the sixteen states of Yanyun, beating the garrisons of the sixteen states of Yanyun to the point of devastation.

As soon as the sixteen states of Yanyun were broken, behind them was the vast wilderness of Pingchuan, and Kaifeng, the capital of Daliang, was like a little lady who had been stripped of her clothes, unsuspectingly exposed to the Northern Barbarian Iron Cavalry.

Wherever the Iron Rider goes, there is no obstacle.

Chongwen's two-hundred-year-old Da Liang only discovered on that day that between the huge government and the opposition, there was no martial artist to support the world.

The timid Huizong Zen position, Qinzong ascended the throne, and changed the year name Jingkang.

Translocation of the Son of Heaven.

But Da Liang's army is still those armies, the generals are still those generals, and no one can resist the Northern Barbarian Iron Cavalry.

Kaifeng fell.

Gaozong took the remnants of his ministers all the way to escape, and was chased by the Northern Barbarian Iron Cavalry like a lost dog, and finally relied on the Yangtze River to establish a small court in Lin'an.

Since then, Da Liang has lost half of the rivers and mountains.

Until the god of war Yue Jingzhong was born, after the fierce "Man Jianghong", this prodigy of the soldiers after the Great Yan Soldier Saint Baili Chunxiang led the Daliang blue-blooded man all the way to the north.

Restore the old capital Kaifeng, and then wave the army to the north, almost to the Beiban Shangjing, and completely drive the Beiban out of the sixteen states of Yanyun.

The Great Liang Soldier God is in place.

And the Yue family was also hereditary, and Yongzhen Kaifeng.

The Northern Army, renamed the Zhenbei Army.

In that dark years, there is a view of the fishing city to defend 36 years of tragedy, with the natural terrain of being surrounded by water on both sides that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, like a nail nailed there, let the northern barbarian army landslide tsunami, but the view of the fishing city is like duckweed on the sea, floating in the rain of arrows and iron horses.

Don't fall, don't destroy.

No drop!

This nail is thirty-six years!

Wang Lijian, who was appointed as a guard general at the age of twenty-five, still stands at the head of the fishing city after the sixtieth birthday.

In the long thirty-six years, Guanyucheng was about to break the city repeatedly, but miraculously survived, and even killed a high-spirited general in the north in front of the city.

Seeing that there was no hope of recovering half of the country, Wang Lijian was promised by the Beiban that if he surrendered, not a single soldier or a single person in the city would be injured, this veteran of watching fishing who had defended the city for 36 years was willing to bear the infamy of the ages and surrender the city.

But the world knows that in addition to the tragedy of Guanyucheng, there is also the heroism of Xiangyang's decades of attack and defense.

Before Yue Jingzhong's Northern Expedition restored half of the rivers and mountains, the Northern Barbarians never gave up their ambition to completely annex Daliang, and Xiangyang, as a strategic place and a military town, was related to the survival of the entire Huainan.

It has become a battleground for Daliang and Beiban.

From Jianyan Nandu to Yue Jingzhong's Northern Expedition, for decades, the beacon fire at the head of Xiangyang City has never been extinguished.

Even on the first night of Yue Jingzhong's march north, Xiangyang City was holding on...... Providence made people, the last guard failed to hold Xiangyang City, and half an hour before Yue Jingzhong's army came to help, the city was broken.

The guard led all the soldiers to smash the city.

There were only a few dozen wounded soldiers left in the city, unable to move.

Different from Guanyu City, in the decades of Xiangyang offensive and defensive battles, there have been several defenders, not to mention the combat exploits of the previous defenders, only the last general who broke the jade on the head of Xiangyang City, and its tragedy is not inferior to Wang Lijian, a veteran of Guanyu.

The general of the jade crushed is surnamed Guo.

This is a ranger, kind-hearted, when he traveled the rivers and lakes, he won a good reputation, became the most prestigious giant, and even once traveled in the Beiban, met the Beiban male lord at that time, and won the favor of the Northern Barbarian male lord's beloved daughter, could have been the golden sword horse of the Beiban, and then won the Beiban, becoming one of the most powerful two in the world.

But he didn't.

He cherished his homeland, and after returning to Daliang, he married the eldest daughter of a family surnamed Huang, and he was a winner in life.

He could have continued to be his Jianghu Grandmaster.

But after Jianyan crossed to the south, the war in Xiangyang was not extinguished, this Jianghu master resolutely asked for the court with a reckless body, and with the help of his father-in-law, he led those Jianghu rangers who respected his chivalry into Xiangyang City, and after large and small battles, he finally became the commander of Xiangyang to lead the soldiers and horses to resist the Northern Barbarian Iron Cavalry.

And those chivalrous men who followed him also died in battles large and small.

No one regrets it!

In the last offensive and defensive battle, he could have temporarily retreated to Xiangyang, waited for Yue Jingzhong's army to come to help, and then recaptured Xiangyang with absolute strength, but he didn't.

resolutely took his wife to the city, and the veterans under his command also followed generously.

If a person is in one day, then Xiangyang will not be broken in one day.

In the end, it was all broken.

Without the decades of perseverance in Xiangyang City, there would be no feat of Gaozong recuperating and recuperating to Yue Jingzhong, and the Northern Expedition with the power of the whole country to restore half of the country.

It can be said that Wang Lijian, a veteran of Guanyu City, used his life to interpret the military soul that General Daliang should have, while he in Xiangyang City used his last blood to draw the integrity that Daliang Ranger should have.

The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people.

In the death of the dead.

This legend is known all over the world, even if it is the grassland on the Northern Barbarians, there is also a story about him, although he did not become the Golden Knife Horse of the Northern Barbarians, the Northern Barbarians are still called the Golden Knife Horses.

Known.

Even after Yue Jingzhong Yongzhen opened the seal, he also admired him very much, and once said: The giant man in the world is the only one who hears him.

Li Ruyu said at this moment, even though nearly a hundred years have passed, he is still strong and fierce, and finally sighed, "The world has been prosperous for many years, Xiangyang is still there, but Guo Juxia is no longer seen." ”

The rangers in the world all respect Guo Juxia.
