There were birds standing in the treetops and combing their feathers.

In the sound of birdsong, looking at the son who ran away, Gongsun Zhi took his wife's hand and hugged it abruptly in his arms, the startled woman snorted softly, and several maids who followed behind, their faces flushed, lowered their heads slightly, Jian Shuo hurriedly waved his hand at them, "It's all gone, there is no need to wait today." So saying, he arched his hand to the two of them, and led the maids away from the rear.

Here, although it is an old husband and wife, in front of so many people, Cai Yan can't let go after all, but he doesn't have as much strength as a man, he struggled a few times, and had to lean on his thick chest, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, "When will you change your temperament, how can you be in front of so many people." ”

"If I didn't have this temperament at the beginning, I would have missed you." After Gongsun Zhi said quietly, he gently rubbed the green silk on his wife's temples, and the two stood under the eaves and hugged for a long time before he said in Cai Yan's ear: "Take me to see Zhenji, I have something to tell her for my husband." ”

Cai Yan raised his head and looked at him for a moment, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, he nodded, and walked towards the side courtyard with his husband. The mansion was originally not big, originally Jian Shuo intended to expand the north and south, and divided a few courtyards and gardens, but was rejected by Cai Yan, who has always been thrifty, she was originally a master of calligraphy, painting, piano and chess.

Walking all the way across the covered bridge above the pool, there are a few yellowish leaves floating on the water, and schools of fish swimming in ripples below, which has a somewhat bleak atmosphere. In the courtyard behind the crescent moon gate in front, a small pavilion slender figure is sitting where to write pen and ink, the maid in the courtyard knows that the lady and this sister like to be quiet, so she stands farther away, at this time I saw Gongsun Zhi who was walking towards Long Tinghu and Cai Yan who was following closely by his side, and slightly bent his knees to greet him.

Gongsun Zhi waved his hand and let them go down first.

In the pavilion over there, a plain white woman who heard the movement got up and greeted them with a smile, and bowed to the two of them, "Brother-in-law, sister-in-law, how did you have time to come here today, I guess Zhenji, it must be a big victory for my brother-in-law." ”

Walking into the pavilion, Gongsun Zhi sat down opposite, stretched out his hand to take the tea handed by Cai Zhenji, "Jizhou Yuan Shao is dead, but what I want to say is ...... It's another thing that has to do with you. ”

The woman who was serving tea to Cai Yan over there shook her hand slightly, and looked over with a quiet gaze.

A little sunlight squeezed out of the gaps and sprinkled through the clouds, intertwining the branches and falling to the ground to form mottled spots. Gongsun pressed his knees and looked at Zhenji who was looking at him, "Originally, I wanted Zhaoji to tell you about this matter, but I think you will definitely come to me to find out what happened......"

“…… Zhongda is dead. ”

Syllable.

The cups rolled down on the floor, and the tea spilled all over the floor. Cai Yan hurriedly went over to support the somewhat shaky woman, and sat down next to her, Zhen Ji's face turned pale, her eyes were slightly red and water-stained, and in her somewhat blurred vision, Gongsun Zhi's voice continued: "...... Zhongda fought bravely, every time there was a battle such as charging ahead, it was very dangerous to fight Yuan Shao's army, he was killed in the chaos, after returning to Changping, he set up a banquet to let the generals of the army have a full stomach, how did Zhongda get drunk, and when he crossed the city gate suspension bridge, he fell from his horse and fell into the moat..... The soldiers fished for most of the night, and only brought his body up in the early hours of the morning. ”

The girl covered her mouth in Cai Yan's arms and just shook her head.

"...... I have a marriage contract with Zhongda, I don't know how to tell you the news of his death, but this matter must be explained after all, whether you can withstand such a blow or not, it is still up to you, Zhongda's body has been burned, and the jar containing the ashes is in the front yard, if you want, I will order someone to send it to you."

After he said this, let Cai Yan stay to comfort the other party, then got up and left the pavilion, and walked towards the backyard, he was not good at comforting people from beginning to end, having said that, there was no need to continue, he still had a lot of things to do, this is just a small part of it.

**********************

Hatred of water, Xianbei royal court.

There is light in the early morning.

Groups of cavalry followed the roar of hooves, and the horses interspersed between the tents of the various tribes, and then they were surrounded by crackling..... the footsteps of people were all running around, and some wanted to leave to pack their bags and tents, and all kinds of shouts and children's cries were all gathered together in a chaotic manner.

"...... Gongsun Zhi has the heart to destroy my Xianbei, he wants to eliminate Xianbei from the root, let you be slaves of the Han people, don't be deceived by superficial things, do you know, the clansmen over there in Liaodong have come, the division will not appear again, Xianbei is unified again, how powerful the soldiers are......"

The galloping horses shouted in the crowd, and most of the herders stood in front of their tents with their children in their arms, and they did not react to these words, not even "as much as the Han people said." Naturally, some people wanted to follow, but were stopped by the old man in the clan: "What are you doing on the grassland if you have a good life?!" Beware of being beaten to death!! ”

The man struggled in the drag and pushed the old man down: "Xianbei people who have no war, can they still be called Xianbei!" Such a sound of confrontation occurred from time to time in various tribes, but there were not many herdsmen gathered on the side of the royal court, the voices were chaotic and noisy, a little far to the southeast of the Xianbei tribe, the cavalry who ordered the cavalry also clashed with the herdsmen, a scholar from the Han land was escorted away by several Xianbei herdsmen, and then a dozen cavalry chased after them and shot arrows at them.

The direction of the gallop stretched forward, and as they crossed a grassy knoll, the hot wind blew through the grass, and their vision was pushed away, and a cavalry of thousands of men spread out like a black line from the end. The dozen or so Xianbei cavalrymen looked at it from a distance and were stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran, holding their bows and shooting arrows into the sky.

And over there, the dense Hun cavalry erupted into a barbaric roar, from east to west rushed straight over, countless Xianbei herdsmen in the field of vision, thousands of Hun cavalry all the way encountered a small group of Xianbei cavalry, directly by the other party scattered, crushed, the front of the spread of the front, not long after, heard the sound of arrows rushed to support the Xianbei people, a wave of was defeated and scattered, causing greater chaos......

……..

On the side of the royal court, the lock slave rode on his warhorse, bathed in the early morning light, quietly waiting for the herdsmen who gathered from all directions, yesterday the big tent heard that Gongsun Zhi defeated the enemy with 200,000 troops, he had no look on his face, but he was shocked and speechless, according to the other party's temperament, whether there is a big injury or not, he will definitely kill here, close to his own more than 10,000 horses, not an opponent at all.
