Chapter 256: There are many bonds on the pipa strings (2)
The Chenggao Pavilion is simple and old, and the houses are not rich. Kang Naning came suddenly, without prior preparation, Gao Cheng directly carried her back to the house where he lived without thinking, and couldn't just throw her outside. Then he ordered Cui Jishu to find clothes for Kang Naning to wear and properly prepare a place to be placed. This problem fell on Cui Jishu again, and Cui Jishu was not afraid of trouble and triviality.
The delay was late at night. Kang Naning was not tired, she was really excited, and she was indescribably happy. Wearing Gao Cheng's robe, he looked left and right in the room where Gao Cheng lived, and seemed to be very interested in everything. Gao Cheng sat on the couch and watched her innocent, listened to her ask questions, and occasionally answered her a sentence or two.
"Would it be nice to play a song?" Kang Naning had seen enough, asked enough, took her turtle pipa, handed it to Gao Cheng, and looked at him expectantly. He was so beautiful that she would never forget him the first time she saw him. Orchid is unrestrained and reserved, but her warm eyes are a little unbearable even for Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng took the pipa, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, this curved neck pipa is shaped like a pear, with four strings on it, and he can hear that this pipa is accurate and worthy of the player's superb skills. moved Yaxing for a while, couldn't help but itch, and plucked it with a plectrum, and suddenly a series of beautiful rhythms flowed out. Kang Naning sat beside Gao Cheng and listened quietly, while looking at him intently.
Gao Cheng just lowered his head and plucked the strings, didn't bother to look at Kang Naning, seemed to be thinking in his heart, and took the opportunity to play the pipa to express his heart. On the outskirts of the city, I heard Kang Naning playing turtle music, which has a variety of rhymes and sounds gorgeous. The music played by Gao Cheng has a high meaning of antiquity, and there is a sense of independence in the past.
Kang Naning is well versed in music and rhythm, and listening to such a piece of music has made her even more curious about Gao Cheng. She looked at Gao Cheng carefully and felt that this beautiful son looked extremely young, but when she listened to the music, she felt that his chest was like a city, broad and deep, and he was deep. This made her unconsciously have a heart of admiration. Or maybe this kind of admiration had already planted a seed in her heart when she first met him, and the reunion made this kind of seed sprout quickly in her heart.
After Gao Cheng finished playing, his mood suddenly brightened. At this moment, it was easy for him to temporarily relieve the burden in his heart. I was about to arrive in Jiankang, and I was worried about it, but now I feel that I can see it, and there is always a way to do my best, and it may not be a bad result. Could it be true that there is no balance between Liang and Wei?
Before he could put down the pipa, suddenly a pottery bowl was handed to him. The utensils were vulgar, but the color of the condensed blood inside was exciting enough, and it was the peach wine brought by Kang Naning. Gao Cheng looked up and saw that Kang Naning was looking at him with a smile on his face.
Gao Cheng took the pottery bowl, frowned and smiled bitterly, this is really a tyrannical thing. With such an ugly vessel, with such a fine wine, he always felt disproportionate and awkward. But the peach wine in this bowl is what he likes very much.
Cona Ning didn't speak, smiling at him. The wheat skin texture is delicate, the golden brown curls are shiny, the nose is high and the eyes are deep, and the pair of huge brown eyes are protected by eyelashes that are beyond imagination. He had never looked so closely and so caringly at her face before. Now it looks really different from the Central Plains woman. She looked at him so bluntly that Gao Cheng almost couldn't breathe.
Tilting his head away from her gaze, as if there was an obstacle in his heart. I was surprised that he was not the person who could do whatever he used to be. In an instant, his mind drifted back to Yecheng, to the General's Mansion, and to the person who took away his mind at some point. Subconsciously drank the peach wine in the bowl. Because of something on his mind, the wine was not as delicious as he imagined.
The pottery bowl was shoddy, and it made him uncomfortable when it touched his lips. But the discomfort was soon masked by the aroma of the wine. He doesn't need to drink wine with this kind of coarse vessel all the time, so what does it matter?
"You should also go......" Gao Cheng wanted Kang Naning to go out and settle down, presumably Cui Jishu had prepared everything, and he was completely sure that Cui Jishu was waiting outside now. But he choked in the middle of his words. Kang Nanen had leaned over to him, the two of them facing each other, her lips almost touching his.
The smell of warm, mellow peach wine fills the air, and it's hard to stop. Gao Cheng could also smell the special smell on Kang Naning's body, which had never been seen on a Dawei woman, an exotic smell that would make people confused and novel.
Kang Naning gently used her hand to open the pipa that was still in Gao Cheng's arms, and it was between them. Then he took the pottery bowl from Gao Cheng's hand accurately, and put it aside without looking at it, no matter what place it was. She leaned down again, took the place where the lute had been in his arms, and kissed him on the lips.
Gao Cheng's body subconsciously dodged back slightly, and Kang Naning followed up when he bent down, and he had nowhere to hide. She had wrapped her arms around his neck, focusing on his mouth in disregard. The fragrance was soft in her arms, and this plump feeling of fullness made Gao Cheng lose control all of a sudden, and finally hugged her waist tightly, and suddenly turned over and pressed her under her body.
Cui Jishu kept watch outside all night until dawn. Not only him, but also the slaves.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Wangfu sent to borrow Shugang to build a Han city, and dug a ditch to pass through the Jianghuai. After Chu Huai Wang Huaicheng Guangling, placed Guanglingyi, which means that Guang was hilly. Guangling of Jiangbei fortress and Liangdu Jiankang are opposite each other across the Yangtze River, and they are at the key point of Jianghuai.
Guangling City is in the south of Jianghuai, which is the southern end of the territory of the Great Wei Dynasty and the border of the Liang State, which already belongs to the Great Liang. Guangling has been repeatedly ruined, and it has long ceased to be prosperous. I don't know why, Gao Cheng entered the Liang realm and went straight to this city, but he didn't reveal his identity, and he had stayed in Guangling for a few days.
On the banks of the Yangtze River, the hills are undulating, and the green grass has rendered the hills near and far like a green carpet in late spring. The river is surging, and the back waves catch up with the front waves, hitting the rocks on the cliff bank, rolling back again, and then sweeping again and again, never stopping.
The riverside is windy, and the late spring and early summer are getting hotter, and the cool river breeze is refreshing. Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu walked along the riverbank one after the other, on the rolling hills. Gao Cheng was in front, and from time to time he would pick up small stones and throw them into the river. Cui Jishu followed, following suit, sometimes raising his head to look at Gao Cheng's back. Both of them were preoccupied and too lazy to speak. It wasn't until he walked that he didn't know how far Cui Jishu was already a little tired, and he saw that Shizi finally stopped and stopped walking.
Gao Cheng stands by the river, standing on the high place of the hills, looking south across the river. The prosperous Jiankang City of several dynasties is on the other side of the river. For him, Jiankang is a place that makes him look different. The memories of a few years ago, the past are vivid, as clear as if they were right in front of me.
At the other end of the Yangtze River, on the boat by the river, he first met Yuwentai, reminiscing about the past, he and Yuwentai would never have thought that they would face each other to the death like this now.
Cui Jishu remembered that the naughty young man broke into the palace and entered the Buddhist temple to do whatever he wanted, but he tried his best, he was really full of spirit and rampant in the world. This time, the prince came to Jiankang again as an envoy of Wei, and he was already a powerful minister of Bingguo, so he had much more concerns. Cui Jishu suddenly thought, these days the son and the orchid are inseparable, the orchid seems to be the bride of the prince, the slaves and maids are all called "lady", the orchid seems to be unaware of the identity of the prince, unaware of the etiquette, and also considers herself a lady. Not to mention how to explain to the princess Yuan Zhonghua when he returned to Yecheng, it is not easy to explain if he is in Jiankang if Princess Liyang or Yang Kan's daughter Yang knows about it. Only he knows the mind of the prince best.
Cui Jishu walked over, Gao Cheng turned around, the river wind blew the clothes of the two people fluttering, Cui Jishu saw that Gao Cheng had a slight broken hair covering his forehead, adding a shallow touch of charm.
"How is Master?" Gao Cheng asked suddenly.
Cui Jishu was stunned and hurriedly replied, "The ancestor is very good." "The people sent by Cui Jishu to Shaomuro Mountain have never seen the face of the patriarch, and only know that the patriarch is in retreat in the temple.
Gao Cheng was the first time he came to Jiankang and became attached to the Bodhidharma patriarch outside the Tongtai Temple, and the patriarch liked him very much. The patriarch originally came straight to Jiankang, who knew that he did not fall in love with Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang, but had a relationship with Gao Cheng, so he abandoned the south and went to the north and crossed the river.
Cui Jishu could see that Gao Cheng treated this master very differently and was very worried. He also knew that the patriarch treated the son of the world very differently, although he had never met and had no special instructions, but Cui Jishu always had a special feeling in his heart, feeling that the patriarch and the son of the world had a deep fate.
"Lord Lang......" Cui Jishu took two steps closer, looked at Gao Cheng's charming green eyes and lowered his voice slightly, "If you bring 'Madame' to Jiankang together, you will definitely not be able to hide it, what if you let Her Royal Highness the Princess and the little lady of the Yang family know?" Don't you be annoyed little lady? "In fact, there is no one else around them at all, so there is no need to be so careful, Cui Jishu looks a little ridiculous like this. Cui Jishu knew that what Gao Cheng cared about most in his heart was Yang Shunhua.
"Where's the madame?" Gao Cheng really didn't seem to understand, and looked at Cui Jishu puzzled, "Madame is in the Yecheng General's Mansion, and the princess is the eldest princess Yuan." Gao Cheng emphasized it again, and there was no joke in his tone. Suddenly, he sighed slightly, "Where are you in the mood to care about this?" ”
Cui Jishu knew that Gao Cheng's most suspenseful thing was how to appease Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang, and to seek a balance between the two countries, so as to facilitate the Great Wei to enrich the country and strengthen the people during the three years of the truce with Xikou.
"It doesn't matter, right? Although Emperor Liang has repeatedly taken advantage of the gap to attack the border, he is not like a person with great ambitions, it is nothing more than to seize a few states and counties, and he must be able to catch it if he can take it, I think Emperor Liang is old after all, and he has always been a good Buddha, and his ambition is not as good as it was back then. This person has the benevolence of a woman, less decisiveness, and is not partial to his own love, the emperor is so Liang Guo does not have civil strife, and it can be regarded as Emperor Liang blessed by the Buddha. Cui Jishu felt something and spoke freely. There are only two people, him and Gao Cheng, and no one else, and his speech is a little presumptuous.
Gao Cheng's face was a little pale, and he thought about it, "What you said also makes some sense. The Son of Heaven is selfish, and the country is taboo. Then he said a little abruptly, "Even if he can't afford to stir up the wind and waves, if you sleep soundly on the couch, it will be very upset that others are always making noise when they don't disturb you." ”
"What do you mean by that Shizi?" Cui Jishu was surprised, and asked in disbelief, "Could it be that the prince wants to destroy the Liang Kingdom to calm his ears and eyes?" In Cui Jishu's opinion, it is not surprising that the prince has such an idea, he still believes that the prince can do it.
"The time has not yet come." Gao Cheng sighed, looking up at the Yangtze River, Jianghuai was behind him, thinking about hundreds of years ago, the Three Kingdoms when Soochow was located here and established a country, but in the end, the three points of the world were unified into Jin, how many things happened in the meantime? It's breathtaking.
Cui Jishu was also silent. Although the Jin of the Sima clan is the dominant one in the world, it has lasted for hundreds of years since the Jin Dynasty, but it is even more chaotic. In addition to the Han Chinese, the Hu tribes also rose up one after another, and each established its own state to confront the Jin. It was from that time that the ancestor of the Great Wei Emperor's family, Tuoba Xianbei, established the country several times, destroyed and re-prospered, and finally moved from Shengle to Pingcheng, moved to Luoyang and then to Yecheng. However, the emperor's own anger, regardless of the unification, went to the private level, and one person's private thoughts caused the society to be divided, and the originally unified Northern Dynasty was divided into two. In fact, it was no longer able to fight against the Southern Dynasties.
"Yuwen Black Otter really shouldn't be like this." Cui Jishu sighed slightly.
There is no need to explain, Gao Cheng also knows what he meant, after all, the two have been close friends for many years and have a tacit understanding with each other. But this time he thought a little differently, and slightly retorted, "The heart of meritorious service, the common feelings of people, and the black otter is inevitable." Uncle is a person who is decisive and daring, and he will not let go of the opportunity. He may not have imagined that this would be the case. When the Son of Heaven was in Guanzhong, he must have thought that my father and I could only tie up in the end, how could it be that he thought from the beginning that his move would lead to a split in the society? ”
"Naturally, how could King Gao let him be complacent and fulfill his wish?" Cui Jishu really doesn't have much affection for Yuwentai.
"Kunpeng Fuyao, who doesn't want to respect me in Unai? It is rare that the black otter can also realize the hindsight, but it is a good material for governing the world. Gao Cheng didn't care at first, and then regretted, "It's just that it's not used by me, which is a little regrettable." Gao Cheng values Yuwentai in his heart. The Western Wei Dynasty was based in Guanzhong, the national strength was weak, and there were natural disasters, but Yuwentai was able to select materials to govern the army, pay attention to the people's livelihood and education, so that the national strength of the Western Wei Dynasty was improved step by step, and gradually became a momentum, and he has perfectly demonstrated his talent for governing the world.
"The prince doesn't have to worry about him, isn't it because the Yuwen black otter is gradually becoming a trend that the prince has such a big trouble? Now that Yuwen Black Otter and Rouran are married, I am afraid that Rouran will no longer be satisfied with one side. The prince still thinks about how to convince Emperor Liang first. Cui Jishu felt that there were too many problems in his heart, and he was secretly glad that this burden was not on his shoulders.
"What do you convince Emperor Liang to do?" Gao Cheng asked puzzled.
