Chapter 257: Haoyue Cloud Car Feather Cloak Shake (1)
It was late spring, and Guangling City was at its peak. The spring breeze blows the green Jianghuai, and the city of Guangling in Huaizuo is soaked in warmth, not as strong and cold as the Northern Dynasties, nor as strong and colorful as the hometown of Jiankang gold powder, and the sparse place has a moving meaning.
The reason why the scenery is the most prosperous is because of the world-famous Qionghua resort. This kind of flower is unique in the world, and it is the reason why Guangling is famous. When the Qiong flowers are in full bloom, the flowers are as big as a plate, the petals are as white as jade, and they fall like snow, which is beautiful. Some people compare it to a fairy who swaying in a feather coat, riding a cloud car, and climbing the moon, which is really not an exaggeration. Even the entire Guangling City was rendered like a fairyland.
When the Qionghua is in full bloom, there will be a building ship from the south of the Yangtze River on this day. The boat in this building is gorgeously decorated, and there are boat guards, so it doesn't look like an ordinary family. When I crossed the river and was about to approach the north bank, I saw two plain-clothed girls looking at the railing and looking into Guangling City. These two girls are both slender, like willow fufeng, but they are both wearing curtain skirts and hats, their faces are not clear, and they do not behave like ordinary people.
When the boat arrived on the shore, the two girls abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, and hurried to Guangling City by car, leaving the boat and the guards, and only a few slaves and maids. It is reminiscent of the family members of rich and noble families, specially for watching Qionghua.
Chen Yuankang, the general of the Great Wei Auxiliary State, was the first time to Guangling. It was also the first time to set foot in Jianghuai, and he was an entourage of the envoy to Jiankang with the general Gao Cheng. At this moment, Chen Yuankang was standing in the courtyard of the pavilion where Gao Cheng had stopped in the past few days.
Shizi and Cui Jishu went to the riverside and left him in the pavilion, Chen Yuankang thought that Shizi was not worried about "Mrs.", so he would leave him. If it weren't for this "lady", he wouldn't have to stay here. Chen Yuankang is not an eventful person, as long as Yu Shizi is not hindered, he does not advise on private matters. But Chen Yuankang really can't have a good impression of this "lady" in his heart.
The "lady" in the mouth of the slaves and maids is an orchid, and her appearance is different. The prince loves it, but Chen Yuankang only thinks it's weird. The "Madame" eats and eats in a different way, and in her spare time she holds a parchment scroll and recites it in a language that no one understands, and the tone is like that of a layman.
"Madame" loves to drink, loves to play the pipa, and dances well, Chen Yuankang knows that these are all strengths that can make the prince pleasing to the eye and pamper her. But if Princess Feng Yi and Yuan Zhonghua are replaced because of this, it is impossible to say anything about it. In Chen Yuankang's view, at least the princess is determined by King Gao for the prince, and she and the princess are married when they are young, and their reputation is early.
There are no trees in the courtyard of the pavilion, and the beauty is that you can see the qionghua on the partition wall. There is an ancient temple not far from the pavilion, there is a tall and stout Qionghua tree in the temple, when the flower blooms, it is like Qiong carved jade, the canopy is general. The Qionghua in this ancient temple is a well-known scenic spot, and it is expected that someone will come to watch the Qionghua when it is at its peak.
Chen Yuankang stood in the courtyard and was inconvenient to go to the place where the prince lived behind, thinking that the prince was probably about to come back. These days, he always feels that someone is secretly following, as if he is exploring the whereabouts of Shizi. Pay attention to it a few times, and talk to Cui Jishu in private, but I didn't expect Cui Jishu to feel this way. Chen Yuankang felt that Guangling was not suitable for a long time, and it was best to persuade Shizi to cross the river quickly.
However, the prince of Puyang County, who was also an envoy of Wei, took a different route from the prince, and came from Runan, and the journey was slow, so he ordered someone to send a letter to the prince the day before yesterday. It is said that the county road was occasionally infected with a cold, and there was a slight delay, so he asked the prince to wait in Guangling and confess. I don't know how Hou Jing was so accurate to know that the prince had arrived in Guangling and stayed here for a few days.
Chen Yuankang was in a mess in his heart, and suddenly when he heard that it was getting noisy outside, he immediately raised his vigilance. Guangling City is small, and there were not so many idle people and so on. The museum is in a secluded place, not a downtown area. Even if the Qionghua in the ancient temple is a beautiful sight, it is not yet in its heyday, so it will not attract so many people to gather here at the same time to watch together.
Importantly, listen to the heavy and mixed footsteps, the sound of horses' hooves, neighing, and the cries of high and low. Chen Yuankang felt that he didn't feel like an ordinary commoner, but like a soldier, which was even more weird. Fortunately, the prince is not here, otherwise if it is really Liang Jun, he will inevitably be in trouble.
Before Chen Yuankang walked to the door to see what was going on, there was a loud bang, and the door of the pavilion was kicked open heavily. As expected, these people came straight here.
There was also a crisp sound behind Chen Yuankang, and when he looked back, he saw that it was a slave who was holding a pottery in his hand and fell to the ground in fright. Chen Yuankang drank the slave and maid and went back to guard the orchid and not come out again. Since the son of the world has an explanation, he can't bear the trust of the son.
A few Liang **** guards came in from outside the gate, looked at Chen Yuankang and a few Wei soldiers behind him and the guards a little farther away, and asked, "Wait for the Wei people, why did you enter my realm privately and hide here?" ”
Chen Yuankang saw that there were still a large number of Liang Jun outside, and there was a man in white faintly, who stood out like a chicken, quite outstanding.
Chen Yuankang thought that there could be no conflict at this time, and the prince of the world was here for the envoy, so he replied, "Liang and Wei have been friends for a long time, and the emperor of Liang is still sending envoys to Wei, so can't Wei people enter Liang?" Although he did not want to be too flattering, his tone was restrained.
Chen Yuankang and his entourage were all in civilian clothes, and he wondered how Liang Jun could suddenly arrive, and he even knew that his party was from Wei. I just don't know if I also know the identity of the son.
Who knows, the man said angrily, "Clearly quibbly, Er is the minister of Wei, the general of the army, privately entered my Liang realm, haunted Huaizuo, and concealed his identity, not above board, it is clear that he came to explore my reality, how can I tolerate you?" As he spoke, he beckoned his subordinates to take down Chen Yuankang.
It seems that Liang Jun came prepared, he knew the details, and even knew Chen Yuankang's identity, so how could he not know Gao Cheng's identity. is prepared, but he broke in when Gao Cheng was not there, and it seemed to be directed at Chen Yuankang, which is puzzling.
Chen Yuankang understood that it was useless to explain, so he had to conflict. But after all, it is not in the border of his own Great Wei Kingdom, and he can't cause trouble to the prince's trip, which is really difficult.
Seeing the tension between the swords and the soldiers, someone outside suddenly shouted, "Stop!" The voice was not harsh, but it contained an irreversible majesty. Liang Jun didn't dare to move again, they all obeyed the instructions, and then a person walked in outside.
Chen Yuankang's eyes suddenly lit up. The person who walked in was the man in white he had vaguely seen just now. At this time, it was clear in front of his eyes. This man is dressed in white like snow, standing in the courtyard like a jade tree, his demeanor is transcendent, and he is almost inferior to the blooming Qionghua. Chen Yuankang had heard that the characters in Jiangnan were elegant, but he didn't expect that a general who commanded the army would be so elegant and bookish.
What surprised him the most was that this man was really young and jade, no worse than the son of the world, which was the most shocking part. originally thought that the son of the world was a country and a city, but now I know that there are really people outside the world. People can't help but think how amazing this man would be if he was born a woman.
This man's temperament is cold, his face is indifferent, and his eyes are as clear as autumn water, black and white, and at this time, he stared at Chen Yuankang sharply, and his eyes fell on people like a cold wind. "You don't have to quibble, I already know the details of you. It is true that Liang Wei is good, and my lord's envoy is indeed well-intentioned, but Keer and others came anonymously for Wei Chen, waiting for an opportunity to snoop in Jiangbei, whether it is good or not is not something that can be understood by saying what you say. ”
The man in white looked around the courtyard, as if he wanted to find out some details, glanced around and then stared back at Chen Yuankang, "If you return with me, naturally I won't be embarrassed." If you find out what is going on, you can ask the Lord to decide, and my Lord will be merciful and forgiving. If you refuse to obey, don't blame me for being rude. The man's demeanor was gentle and elegant, but his tone was cold.
The curtain on the window of the bullock cart fluttered in the breeze. Through the curtain, the two girls in the car looked out the window in distraction, and neither of them spoke. It was very quiet when I crossed the market, and there was almost no one there. The guards who had come to the market earlier also felt strange, as if someone had done the same thing one step earlier.
Although there were no idlers around, there was a strange tension. The woman in white in the car wearing a draped skirt hat stared out the window through the curtain on the hat and the curtain on the car window, and subconsciously reached out and stroked the waist sword hidden at her waist.
The other woman in purple in the same car didn't want to do anything, just greedy for the street scene, looking around for Qionghua, very leisurely.
By the riverside, Cui Jishu looked at Gao Cheng puzzled and asked, "Doesn't the prince persuade Emperor Liang to take a break from the sword soldiers?" The use of etiquette is precious. Embattled, where does the prince still have the heart to think about how to deal with Yuwen Black Otter? Besides, it is also for the sake of Emperor Liang to value peace, but he himself doesn't understand. ”
Gao Cheng was already thinking about going back, and turned to look at the distant city outline below the hills. "Emperor Liang understands whether he understands or not, what does this matter to me? Knowing and making peace is not feasible in the first place. Since it is a good thing for Liang Guo, how can it be that he himself is not concerned and I am anxious for him? If Emperor Liang is bent on meeting each other, it will be useless for me to persuade him. Do you really think that there is something that Zhuge Kong Ming said to fight the Confucianism? It's just a fake show, and both sides are pretending to get each other's true intentions. ”
Gao Cheng whistled, and in a short time the kung fu mount was briskly running along the undulating hooves of the hills.
Cui Jishu was a little dizzy when he heard it, he has always been a person who looks for chapters and sentences, and he does not have such bold insight as Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng stroked the long mane on the horse's neck, looked back at Cui Jishu who was still stunned, and said with a smile, "Uncle Zheng, where have you read the books?" The way of heaven is repeated over and over again, and there is no time to retreat, and the gentleman should be self-exhorted by the way of heaven, and work hard all day long to improve himself, so why should he take others as the foundation? If it is true that my Great Wei is getting stronger and stronger, I don't believe that Emperor Liang still dares to take the initiative to talk about the war? Emperor Liang also sought the way of Taihe, if he didn't understand this truth, wouldn't he have grown those years in vain? After speaking, Gao Cheng got on his horse and headed towards Guangling City.
Cui Jishu also followed the horse, and couldn't help admiring it. When it comes to reading, Cui Jishu understands in his heart, but he doesn't dare to say that the son of the world is actually not even the most ordinary reader. But he admires Shizi for having one advantage that others don't have, that is, learning and thinking more. Although it is a trick to use one knowledge as a triple, the prince of the world can often figure out the meaning that others can't think of from the few sentences that ordinary people have read, and naturally it is many times stronger than the rotten Confucian.
Cui Jishu followed Gao Cheng closely, and the horse's hooves were light and healthy in the spring breeze, and he had entered Guangling City like a smooth wind. In Guangling City, Qionghua fell like snow. Cui Jishu was originally a scholar, and it was inevitable that he had some poetry and painting feelings, and he suddenly felt in a good mood. Since I left Yecheng, I have been worried about the prince, and I don't know if this moment is because I listened to the prince's confident opinions just now, or because I saw the blooming Qionghua at this time, and put all my thoughts away. Think about it, what can you do? Things are either good or bad, how good can be good? How bad can it be?
Gao Cheng was in front of him, but he was not as open-minded as Cui Jishu. As he walked through the market, he already felt a vision, worried that something was wrong, and hurried in the direction of the pavilion. Gradually, there was no one left, and I realized that something had changed. It's just that he didn't notice that there was a bullock cart parked alone outside the mountain gate of the ancient temple.
In the pavilion, Kang Naning also heard various voices in the courtyard in front of him. There are too many things she doesn't understand, and the slave maid said that General Chen Yuankang asked his wife not to leave in the backyard. Kang Nanen didn't ask much, feeling uneasy. She still doesn't know who her husband is, and gradually feels that he is unusual. But he never mentioned his identity. Kang Naning didn't ask Gao Cheng either, he always felt that men were like this, if he was willing to tell you, he would naturally say; If he doesn't want to tell you, it's useless to ask. What's more, what does it matter if you know or not? As long as she is a person, she knows more and is tired.
The voice grew quieter again.
Gao Cheng saw the scene of swords and swords outside the gate of the pavilion from a distance. Look carefully, it was Chen Yuankang and his own guards who fought with Sergeant Liang. He just went out of the city to the riverside for two hours, and he didn't understand why Liang Jun would find this place so quickly?
Cui Jishu was also shocked. If the identity of the prince is forced to be exposed at this time, this thing will not be beautiful. But Liang Jun must have been prepared to come along the vine so accurately, what is going on? Who leaked the whereabouts of the son? He suddenly remembered the person who had spied on them along the way. Not only him, Chen Yuankang also told him in private, and he also felt this way.
The man in white originally had no sharp blade in his hand. Such an elegant character, if he carries a bow and a sword, it will inevitably spoil the scenery. He had the intention to come, and it was indeed someone who secretly reported that the Wei people from Jiangbei had infiltrated Jianghuai to spy and depict Chen Yuankang's appearance and whereabouts clearly. Because this man is a general in the Liang army, he would rather think that there is such a thing than think that there is nothing, and he still says it so well. As a result, if he really found Chen Yuankang, he wanted to capture him and return to interrogate him carefully.
Of course, Chen Yuankang refused. The father of the man in white was an official in the temple of Liang and was loyal to Liang, and he was taught by his father to be loyal to him since he was a child. Chen Yuankang is a native of the Northern Dynasties, he saw it, and his whereabouts are suspicious, so the man in white must arrest him.
Chen Yuankang was also wrong.
The man in white looked like a scholar, but the cross-waisted soft sword flew like a silver dragon in his hand. This soft sword is not something that ordinary people can use, and it is easy to hurt yourself if you don't cultivate enough. Chen Yuankang never expected that his martial arts realm was so high, and he gradually fell behind.
At this time, I actually saw Shizi and Cui Jishu coming back. And when the prince saw this scene, he hurried over. Chen Yuankang was in a hurry and made a mistake, the man in white was already above him, and at this time, when he saw the flaw, he stabbed at the vital place with a sword.
