Chapter 288: A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains
Generally speaking, there is a kind of cold everywhere at night, and Ling Yan is often used to describe the arrogant and unruly cold wind, but tonight, there is no chance to feel it on the head of the high Fengyong City, so there is nothing else, only the cold. But for the desert outside the northern country, only the cooling seems too pure, so an unexpected heavy snow fell, look carefully, the rough snowflakes are still sandwiched with small crystal clear ice crystals, which are generally very difficult to be found, but tonight under the illumination of countless scorching torches on the head of the city, under the sharp eyes of the countless sleepless city guards, it finally showed a side that had never been revealed, connecting the brilliant golden yellow, Looking in the direction of the countless torches, thousands of miles of golden flowers fluttered by, wrapping this slightly vicissitudes of life eroded by the wind and sand outside the fortress, the golden city, yes, just tonight, it is indeed a golden city. If you think that such a scene is not enough taste, it doesn't matter, because the heroine of this city, the woman who has a stunning posture and a country and a city, is about to play, and the two delicate Tsing Yi have quietly put her guzheng that has been silent for a long time on the city.
The melodious rhythm resounded on the high head of this golden city called Fengyong, and the old sound rhyme cleansed people's hearts and spleens, and unconsciously, it has added a bit of melancholy and poignancy to this slightly silent snowy night.
She played very attentively, Tsing Yi whispered beside her did not interrupt her distracted playing, she did not speak, only sighed softly after quietly finishing the song.
"Sister, they're here!" Tsing Yi said in a low voice.
Ci'er turned to see that three women wearing hats and black veils were already standing in front of her.
"Don't be restrained, take off the veil!" Ciel said.
The three of them took off the hat, and slowly removed the black veil, but what appeared in front of them were three unusual stunning postures, several people looked at each other and smiled, and hurriedly bowed down in front of Xi'er.
"Facing the wind, catching the snow, and the cold moon, it's really good, the three of you are the same sisters, and you don't know whose Taoism is deeper?" Ciel asked with a faint smile.
"There are really four of us sisters and sisters, and Luoyun is on the way to come, and he will arrive soon. We are from the same school, and the Taoism has its own merits, how can I praise a seat, just because I am a few years older than them, so they all respect me as a senior sister. "Windward back.
"Okay, let's go straight, the reason why you can see me is not accidental, I also know what you have to do, everyone takes what they need, but you can't be in a hurry. Since you are doing things together, you must have a way of doing things, and you will serve on my left and right from tomorrow, be my personal Tsing Yi, and wait until you take refuge in Huang Qi and sit firmly in your seat, so you can start. Ciel walked left and right, pacing.
The three sisters met, bowed to Xi'er again, and went down.
Xi'er stood on the top of the city and saw the snow falling all over the city like golden sand, sighed, and turned to Xiao Zhuo. From time to time, only a sharp hiss could be heard piercing the night sky, and an eagle-feathered arrow from the arrow tower at the head of the city had been shot in the direction of the enemy camp.
"Report! Lord, an arrow was shot at the head of Fengyong City, and there was a letter on the arrow. The scout ran into Huang Qi's tent, shouted loudly, and handed the letter over.
"Tonight, the second watch will enter the city with the torch of the South Arrow Tower, and the house slave Xi'er will give it a hundred worships!" Huang Qi took a look at the letter, and was overjoyed, and immediately gathered people and horses, and ambushed a stone's throw away from the city, and was about to do it on the second watch.
In the middle of the night, in the silence, I have heard the squeak of the drawbridge on the moat and slowly put it down, the city gate is wide open, and I see the torch on the arrow tower at the head of the city swaying three times, Huang Qi saw that the time has come, pulled out his sword, raised his arms and shouted, tens of thousands of horses and horses rushed into the city with a shout of killing in the sky, saw that the south gate did not resist, went straight to the north gate and the east gate to outflank, Pang Qing, Pang Liang put the east gate, saw a group of enemy troops from the city to attack and kill, immediately panicked, hurriedly responded a few times, saw that the situation was not good, a group of people crowded to the north of the city to escape, to the front, has long been lost, want to break out, who knows that the outside of the city has already been in flames, closer and closer, the city is surrounded like an iron bucket, and it is difficult to fly.
After a night of scuffle, the east was white, and a group of soldiers tied Pang Qing and Pang Liang in front of Huang Qi, Huang Qi pretended to be sharp and said: "What's the use of binding these two people, don't you push them out quickly, cut off your hands and feet!" Then he turned to Xi'er and said, "They are all your subordinates, what do you say?" ”
Xi'er persuaded: "The lord is lenient, instead of abolishing the two of them, it is better to give them a chance to make meritorious contributions, if they can persuade the remnants of Shuofang, let the other fifteen cities all open the city and surrender, and serve the lord as the co-lord of Shuofang, wouldn't it cost a single soldier to get Shuofang, saving a lot of energy." ”
Huang Qi was overjoyed, explained the time limit to Pang Qing and Pang Liang one by one, and set up a military order for the fifteenth.
A few days later, the generals settled down the Fengyong City defense, and then set off to Shuozhou to receive the defense, and when they were halfway there, they saw a half-dead beggar sitting cross-legged in the uninhabited wilderness, the man was unkempt and skinny, but he was dressed in a good outfit, and put a black pottery bowl in front of him, and there was a pair next to him, and he didn't know who to give alms, and he saw the army passing by, supporting his body, and kowtowing again and again. A few good sergeants looked amused, and rushed forward to get some silver with him, but when they saw that the big black pottery bowl was empty, and there was nothing, they kicked the foot away in a hurry, and snatched one of his pairs, and ran back.
Xi'er was originally sitting in the car, but after being depressed for a long time, she straddled herself and was about to breathe, when she saw that several sergeants in the army had robbed the beggar's things, and hurriedly stopped and asked: "You dignified Rong Wu man, what are you doing to rob that beggar's things!" ”
The sergeant replied, "It's ridiculous, the beggar is standing in the middle of the wilderness to see whoever is in the wilderness, and we will snatch his pair and write a few letters home, and we will not waste it." ”
"What a pair, show me!" Xi'er said as she took the pair and looked at it, only to see that it read, "The Oiran Squire in the past, the Fallen Squire today." Waiting for the Oiran to pass by, relieve me of a period of sorrow. ”
Xi'er's face turned pale after reading it, and he hurriedly beat his horse and galloped to the beggar, and when he looked at it, it was Pei Guang, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and asked a few sergeants to carry him to the car.
The team traveled for two days, has arrived at the city of Shuozhou, that Pang Qing, Pang Liang led the city of civil and military Confucianism and crane to kneel in front of the Yong'an Gate in the south, dragging a wooden plate in his hand, the Shuofang 16 cities of the soldier talisman official book handed to Huang Qi, and played drum music, welcome the army into the city, Huang Qi was overjoyed, not only did not punish the two of Pang, but also appreciated more and more. The next day, in front of the Longqing Palace, the hundred officials were rewarded, and the female general of the Tianshu of Xi'er Shendu was specially added, and the name Huang Xi was given, and she was accepted as a righteous daughter, Pang Qingzhong led the army, Pang Liangzhong protected the army, and set up an altar to worship, and accepted the Pang two as righteous sons, ranking behind the five sons.
Pei Guang was rescued, rested for a few days at Xi'er's place, and gradually felt better, so he explained to Xi'er what happened before and after, and elaborated: "Since that day, I said goodbye to the girl, and went to the place of Qipancheng, but I stayed in a black shop at night, and was robbed by a group of people, not to mention, and forced me to drink the poisonous wine, but I should not die, I escaped in the middle of the night against half my life, and I was rescued by a passing old road, he saw that I was pitiful, and led me to the Taoist temple outside his city to rest for half a month, and wrote this pair after counting my birthday. If you want me to wait on the road between Fengyong City and Shuozhou, I said that someone will come to the rescue, before leaving, he will pay me a treasure in his view to keep it, saying that the treasure is a pity to put in the view, it's time to show people, I want to hang the treasure in the Longqing Hall in Shuozhou City, I don't agree, but he said that I will be able to live up to the mission, but also because of the soaring, I don't know why? ”
"I see, but where is that baby now?" Ciel asked.
"It's on me." Pei Guang said as he took out an embroidery bag from his sleeve and handed it to Xi'er.
Xi'er took out an object from the bag, and looked closely, it was a palm-sized scroll, and the two of them slowly spread out the scroll, and the picture had become huge in a trance, and it was suspended in the air, reflecting a dreamlike picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in front of him.
The two were ecstatic, and Pei Guang said: "When the old Taoist left, he paid me a few spells, and you can also give it a try." Xi'er was colorful, and saw Pei Guang standing in front of the painting, pointing his finger in the direction outside Shuozhou City, and shouted: "In and out of the painting, the Tao is not bad, and the urgency is like a law!" ”
In the blink of an eye, he had escaped into the painting, and from time to time, he saw the blue light flashing in the painting, Pei Guang had already held the wildflowers in his hand, and stood in front of Xi'er again. Xi'er was surprised: "It's amazing, if it were me, would it be possible to recite that spell into the painting?" ”
"You can give it a try!" Pei Guangdao. He stood in front of the drawing, pointed in the direction of the outside of the city, and recited the incantation aloud, but there was no movement, and after trying a few times, it had no effect.
Pei Guang said: "Strange, is it only me who can use this spell to enter the painting!" ”
"That's fine, it seems that the time has come for Childe to make a career, and come with me." Xi'er replied, changed his Taoist clothes with Pei Guang in Tsing Yi, collected the drawings, took them with Xiao Zhuo, and the three of them went straight to Longqing Hall to see Huang Qi.
General Huang didn't believe it at first, but after Pei Guang changed the spell once, he was suddenly surprised, and he exclaimed: "Those who know this magic should be regarded as a national teacher." ”
Xi'er immediately echoed and praised some kind words, and commended Xiao Zhuo's merits. Huang Qi was overjoyed, and on the same day, he added the title of General Pei Guangshentu, set up a government office for his opening of the mansion, and added the title of Xiao Zhuo Hu Ben Zhonglang General, gave the surname Huang Zhuo, and accepted the two of them as righteous sons, ranking eight sons and nine sons, and ordered the fifth son Ma Yuanye to train Huang Zhuo carefully and teach martial arts, not to be lazy.
