Chapter VIII Conditions
Chapter 8 Conditions
The night was like a thick inkstone, so deep that it smeared on the sky of Jiulong Mountain, and the mountains and forests outside the cottage were shrouded in darkness. There is a protruding boulder in front of the gate of the Jiulong cottage, and the people in the cottage call it "Shimen God", because the sentry on the mountain stands on it, and the enemy situation in the middle of the mountain can be seen at a glance. But after nightfall, because the field of view is reduced, no one will be on guard above.
Tonight seems to be different...
There seems to be a black shadow in the moonlight, the thin body of the shadow is more delicate by the huge "stone door god" under her feet, every time the breeze blows, it can always bring up bursts of green silk behind the shadow, the green silk is elegant, soft, the whole picture is integrated under the night sky, there seems to be a simple and natural charm.
"Miss, the mountain is windy, you be careful of catching a cold!"
Ning Er took a dark purple Shu brocade cloak from behind and draped it on Gao Yingshu, who was staring at the mountain.
"Miss, you've been waiting for an afternoon, it's dark, you can't see anything, let's go back first, if he comes up, someone will come into the village to tell you." Ning Er followed An Yingshu's line of sight and looked down the mountain, it was pitch black.
Before leaving, he told Lin Muzhi to take care of Gao Yingshu, Lin Muzhi is also a righteous person, so he will naturally not slack off, but Gao Yingshu is concerned about the comfort of the mountain, even if there are jade plate delicacies, it is difficult to swallow.
"Ning'er, according to his father's temperament, do you think he can convince him to withdraw from the army?" Gao Ying's hand holding Ning Er was already cold, making Ning Er feel that what kind of delicate jade finger was holding her hand, which was clearly a piece of river ice in the cold winter wax moon.
Ning Er hurriedly persuaded: "My young lady, I don't know if you will retreat or not: I just know that if you wait like this, your body can't stand it?" The little girl was about to cry, "Go, follow me down!" As he spoke, he pulled Gao Yingshu and went down,
"What people!"
The sentry in front of the gate of the fortress shouted, and pointed the tassel gun at the darkness,
Gao Ying looked at the voice, and suddenly smiled at Ning Er and shouted, "Ning Er! It's him! He's back! "Happy like a child who gets a favorite toy,
I saw a big brown and red horse rushing out of the dark mountain road under the night,
"Sigh law ~" The front hooves were raised high, and then stopped steadily in front of the walled gate,
Immediately the man in a white brocade robe stood on his horse,
"Get out of the way! Go tell Lin Muzhi that An Yi is back! ”
The sentry post recognized the comfort, and did not stop it, beckoned another companion to keep an eye at the gate of the village, and went up the mountain to report to Lin Muzhi.
Comfortably drove into the village, walked under the "Shimen God", felt a pair of eyes on the top of his head, and as soon as he raised his head, he met Gao Yingshu's gaze.
"Miss Gao, are you waiting for An?" An Yi asked with a smile:
Gao Yingshu didn't answer, just looked at Anyi,
"Our young lady has been waiting for you all afternoon!" Ning Er next to her said angrily: "Let's go, Miss, let's go down!" As he spoke, he was about to help Gao Yingshu walk down the boulder.
When An Yi saw Gao Shuying, he knew that he was waiting for him, but Ning Er didn't say it, how did he know that this Gao Yingshu had been waiting for him stupidly for so long,
Since ancient times, it is the most difficult to eliminate the grace of beauty~
"I've asked Miss to wait for me for an afternoon, how can Miss suffer from these shoes and socks anymore." An Yi said, facing Gao Yingshu on the boulder, opened his arms, and made an inward bend movement with both palms at the same time.
Gao Yingshu's face turned red with "Teng~", feeling the temperature brought by the blood gushing, completely driving away the cold of the night, and the bold action of comfort, even if Gao Yingshu, who has always been gentle and elegant, is difficult to resist.
He.... Did he make me jump? Jump into his arms? Gao Yingshu's heart seems to have a deer crashing around, and in the quiet mountains, only his heart is "plopping ~ plopping ~ plopping ~"
"Come, I'll pick you up!" An Yi was still smiling, and said softly to Gao Yingshu, as if this volume could only be heard by the two of them,
"Miss! Dangerous.... Yes! ”
Before Ning'er's word "risk" was spoken, Gao Shuying had already stepped out, and the light blue dress and black green silk were blown up together, looking like a falling leaf from a distance.
An Yi's legs clamped the jujube red horse under his crotch, and the horse spiritually turned his body to the side, so that Gao Ying landed on the horse steadily and landed in An Yi's arms.....
She just let An Yi Heng hug her right away, and the time of this moment seemed to be frozen by this beautiful atmosphere.
An Yi looked at Gao Yingshu in his arms, and on his glass-like eyes, his playful eyelashes were slightly curled, which was really as delicate as a porcelain man.
"Are you going to hold me like this all the time?"
The porcelain man in his arms spoke,
An Yi smiled, helped Gao Ying steady, and let her sit sideways in front of the horse. He tugged at the reins with both hands, just hugging Gao Ying in the middle.
He quietly leaned into Gao Yingshu's ear, picked up a strand of hair from her ear, and whispered:
"Have you ever thought about it, girl? Hug it, and I'm not going to let it go. ”
Gao Ying knew what comfort meant, and his delicate face was like a burning cloud in the sky, so gorgeous and elegant.
"Hmm~"
The voice is as light as a floater, but it flows into the heart of comfort like a sweet love word,
"Hahaha~" He laughed,
"Driving~"
Pull the reins and ride up the mountain.
The night wind blew fiercely past his ears, and Gao Yingshu slowly wrapped his arms around his comfortable waist. If you want to say that this rich boy brother and handsome offspring, Gao Yingshu has not been uncommon since he was a child, and An Yi is neither the most generous nor the most handsome, but this man can always give her a sense of security, no matter what situation or problem she encounters, she believes that he always has the ability and a way to solve it, just like his name, as long as she sees him, she feels comfortable.
"Your dad has a problem for me?" An Yi said to Gao Yingshu who was leaning on his arms while riding a horse,
"Won't my father quit?" Gao Yingshu raised his head and asked:
"He gave me three days to take you and the gang down the mountain!"
Gao Ying said: "Three days? How did three days come about? ”
"Alas~" An Yi tugged on the reins, and the red horse stopped the horse's hooves and stopped in front of the village,
"Give it a try."
An Yi turned over and dismounted, turned around and stretched out his arms to Gao Yingshu on the horse again,
"Don't have enough of it?" Gao Ying said angrily:
"I have to hold it for a lifetime, where is this?" An Yi pretended to be surprised, and then hugged Gao Yingshu and led her to the cottage hall.
"Brother An is really a trustworthy person, and he has been waiting for a long time." Lin Muzhi Chong Anyi arched his hand, as early as not long after An Yi went up the mountain from the big tent under the mountain, there were bandits who came to report that the army of the king of Shu had retreated thirty miles and had camped outside Huayang County.
An Yi let go of Gao Yingshu's hand and bowed back,
This small action naturally did not escape Lin Muzhi's eyes, and pointed at the two,
"Brother An came to my Jiulong Mountain and hugged the beauty, admired in the next, if you drink wine one day, don't forget me as a matchmaker."
An Yi smiled bitterly: "Brother Lin, don't be joking, if you have something important to discuss, please take a step to speak." ”
The three of them turned into Lin Muzhi's small study, and told Lin Muzhi about the situation that the king of Shu asked him to go down the mountain, Lin Muzhi didn't answer when he heard it, he stood up and walked around the house twice.
"It's okay if you want me to go down the mountain, but I have three conditions." The Way of Pastoral Forestry:
An Yi didn't expect Lin Muzhi to agree so easily, and he was overjoyed, so he said:
"Brother Lin said."
"First, let's go down the mountain, you must let the King of Shu promise not to blame our three hundred brothers in the past."
Before going up the mountain, he considered the problem of settling accounts after the autumn, and had already asked the king of Shu for an edict in advance, and the first condition was not a problem.
"Second, I want Huayang County to release my eldest brother."
"Okay, I'll go to the prince and say, as long as you are willing to go down the mountain, you will be reunited." An Yi agreed:
The eldest brother Lin Muzhi said was naturally the Song Zhong who was arrested by the Anyi brothers and sisters with Zhou Yunlong a few days ago, and was later strangled to death in the county prison by Taketori.
An Yi thought that these more than 300 mountain bandits went down the mountain to serve the people, not to mention the import of Tianding in Huayang County, and his political achievements were definitely a strong stroke, and he believed that Taketori would not refuse.
But what they didn't expect was that Song Da had already died in the deep prison of Huayang County.
Lin Muzhi continued to mention his third condition,
"Third, I want the king of Shu to give each of our brothers five hundred taels of settling-in allowance."
In the Great Xia Dynasty, the common currency in circulation was scattered gold, silver and silver tickets, generally in places like Huayang County, an ordinary person's annual ration was about 6~8 taels. Therefore, it is obvious that Lin Muzhi is opening his mouth to the comfortable lion.
An Yi felt that Lin Muzhi had agreed too quickly, but he didn't expect to be waiting for him here, so he said with a dry smile: "Brother Lin, please think about it, there are more than 300 brothers under your command, and each person has 500 taels of silver, which is 150,000 taels of silver." Not to mention whether the king of Shu can take out this silver, even if he can take it out, how can you ask him to explain it to the soldiers and the people? If he agreed, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling the people of Sichuan and Shu that everyone could go up to the mountain to be a bandit and then recruit An to receive silver? ”
Lin Muzhi sat down on the Taishi chair, clasped his arms with both hands, and said: "Brother Lin, it was you who came up the mountain to recruit us, how to make the King of Shu agree that it is your business, I just have to put forward the conditions." If the King of Shu doesn't agree, hehe, then Brother An and Miss Gao's wedding may have to be held in my cottage. ”
Isn't that unreasonable? How can there be a little sincerity to go down the mountain, An Yi is also angry in his heart, but he still maintains a smile on his face,
"Brother Lin, I'm thinking about you! Can you live a lifetime licking blood from the knife and robbing the house? You want the King of Shu to withdraw from the army, I estimate that the King of Shu has also withdrawn now, but how can he say that he is also the prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, and you will ask for 150,000 snowflakes of silver if you open your mouth now, so you must give him a step down, right? ”
Lin Muzhi waved his hand impatiently, frowned and said: "Don't tell me about these things, I can see it, you promised to help me persuade the army of the King of Shu to retreat, I also feel that I have a bad temper with you, treat you as a brother, you are very profitable, and when you come back from the mountain, you will become a lobbyist of the court!" ”
"Bang~"
An easy hand slapped on the mahogany table next to it! The earthquake caused several enamel tea sets on the table to fall to the ground,
"Don't be ignorant, I won't mention the things you pull up hills on this Jiulong Mountain, build cottages, and rob houses! Five years ago, you attacked the county seat, ransacked the granary, and caused such a great famine to kill many people! At the very least, you are rogue bandits, and at the very least, you are fighting against the imperial court, that is, rebellion! How much effort did it take me to let the King of Shu loosen his mouth and give you a way to live, you don't toast and don't eat and drink! ”
"Comfort!" Lin Muzhi also stared at him, and he shot the case.
"Lin Muzhi!"
Looking at each other, this small stone room was filled with * smell for a while, and the air seemed to be frozen.
