Chapter 16: Revisiting the Past [1]
At this time, just when the boy was ready to break in.
But suddenly he was pulled to the root of the city wall on the side by a force.
I saw that the visitor immediately covered his mouth.
But he is not a vegetarian, so he immediately gave the other party an over-the-shoulder fall.
Then he touched his lips and said lightly: "Brother, what about me?"
I'm not a broken sleeve. ”
After speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but the person behind him suddenly said, "Childe, we have seen it." ”
The young man was stunned, and then straightened the hat on his head.
Then he turned around and said, "Seen?" ”
The other party nodded, then pointed to a sedan chair not far away and said, "This is really not the place to talk.
Childe, why don't you come with me? ”
The young man snapped his fingers quickly.
Then he responded cheerfully: "You'd better not lie to me." ”
As he spoke, he followed the man into the sedan chair.
When he got on the sedan chair, the young man really saw an acquaintance.
It's the old man.
The old man in the caravan that had carried them out of the desert.
He still remembers the old man's bowl of water.
I saw the young man sitting beside the old man.
Then he asked, "Old man, do you recognize me?"
But I've always had a hat with me, how did you 7 recognize me? ”
The old man stroked his gray beard.
Then he said with a smile: "I can still recognize Childe's figure."
What about your dog? He's dead?
You have entered the Prince's Mansion...... The corpse swept out of the Prince's Mansion with broken grass that night... Is it yours? ”
As soon as the old man said this, the young man was immediately stunned.
After a long time, he suddenly chuckled and said, "Okay, you, old man, do you know so much about the affairs of the Prince's Mansion?"
You can't be spying on the Prince's Mansion, are you? ”
The old man glanced at the young man secretly.
And the young man next to him suddenly said: "Childe, don't say anything if you see through it." ”
The boy glanced at the other party disdainfully.
I didn't pay any attention to him.
Then he suddenly looked at the old man again and asked, "What are you looking for me to do?" ”
The old man closed his eyes and said nothing, only waved his hand slightly.
So, the sedan chair fell silent.
I don't know how long the carriage walked, but it was a fact that the road was not easy to walk.
Until the boy's ass was numb from the upside down.
The carriage stopped.
He was the first to get off the sedan chair.
At this moment, the carriage stopped at the door of a house that looked good.
The old man, supported by another young man, also got out of the sedan chair.
The boy took off his hat and pinched a dog's tail grass on the side of the road.
put it in his mouth, and then asked with a look of hanging: "Old man, this is your home?"
The grade is very high, surrounded by mountains and rivers, independent courtyards, villa-level! ”
"Villa? Dare to ask Childe, what is a villa? ”
It was another teenager who was questioning.
Along the way, he found out that this person really talked a lot.
Rory was chattering, as if he hadn't spoken in his life.
He had just finished asking, and he immediately said with a dog's tail in his mouth: "Villa......
It's just to praise you for the very good house you live in.
Well...... Good feng shui, good environment, and the shape of the house is also very good......"
"Alright, I know what you mean."
The boy respectfully made a series in front of him.
It means you don't talk about it anymore, I know you're praising us.
The old man chuckled softly.
Then he said, "Go in!" ”
As he spoke, he took the lead in entering the courtyard gate.
Two teenagers followed, and the courtyard was large and quiet.
I didn't see a few people along the way, not even the seven people in charge of sprinkling.
The young man threw away the dog's tail grass in his mouth and asked, "Old man, you won't live in this garden by yourself, will you?" ”
The old man shook his head and did not speak.
They continued to walk inside three or four more courtyards, and then stopped outside the door of a house called Lan Zhuxuan.
I saw the old man bend down respectfully and said, "General, young master, I brought you back." ”
"Wait...... Young master? Who are you, old man?
And who is the general here? ”
The boy stared at the closed door.
Then he looked at the old man again, and saw the old man suddenly kneeling on the ground.
Then he said earnestly: "It's the old slave who is clumsy, and he didn't recognize you as our young master."
If the old slave recognizes you as the young master that day, the old slave has to bring you back safely! ”
The young man's brows tightened, as if he understood something.
Immediately said: "You are all Xiao Kuo's old department? ”
At this time, the door suddenly opened, to the boy's surprise.
It's not some tiger head, or beard, or an elderly person.
The man who was called a general by the old man.
turned out to be a weak scholar who was helpless and lame, sitting in a wheelchair.
I saw that he had red lips and white skin, and was wearing a black bamboo robe.
The only downside is a long scar on the chin.
It looked like it should be a knife wound, but I saw him looking at a few people in the courtyard warmly.
Then he congratulated his hand and said, "Under Zhang Meng."
Former general Xiao Kuojun was the vanguard general of the left flank. ”
The young man's expression froze, and then he bent over very respectfully and said, "Xiao Nansheng." ”
The old man was helped up, and Zhang Meng let go of his body and said, "Come in and talk!" ”
Xiao Nansheng followed the old man into the house together.
Zhang Meng's room is very simple, except for the bookshelves.
The rest is a bed with a tall screen.
The only strange thing may be that there is nothing painted on that screen.
Zhang Meng saw that Xiao Nansheng had been staring at the screen.
He explained to himself: "The mystery of that screen is not in its surface.
It's on the back of it. ”
When Xiao Nansheng heard this, he immediately went around to the back of the screen.
But I saw a painting hanging on the back of the screen.
It depicts a stormy night.
In a brightly lit general's mansion, the ground was stained red with blood.
A group of people dressed in black night clothes retreated through the courtyard shrouded in darkness.
Took away the swords that were still stained with the blood of the dead.
Xiao Nansheng couldn't help but gasp.
Then there was a pinprick-like pain in my heart.
Zhang Meng chuckled and said, "This is the last picture I can remember that night.
For more than ten years, I have hung it in my room.
I will look at it day and night, and tell myself not to forget the grievances of those who died in vain. ”
Xiao Nansheng turned around, looked at the solemn-looking people and said, "What did you find?"
How could this majestic handsome mansion be completely destroyed overnight? ”
Zhang Meng nodded and said with a wry smile: "What the young master said is good.
With the skills of those few thieves, how could they kill all the generals' mansions? ”
As he spoke, Zhang Meng told Xiao Nansheng about the situation that night.
That night was Xiao Nansheng's 100-day banquet, and most of the civil and military officials in the DPRK and China went to congratulate him.
With enough wine and food, everyone also opened their hearts.
It wasn't until late that everyone dispersed, after the dignitaries of the DPRK and China left.
