194. Wind and rain (5)
The sound of horses' hooves is urgent.
Yu Guozhen's riding skills are really not too good, which is one of his shortcomings. Fortunately, when Gao Bu was alive, he worked hard to learn, so now he is returning to Xiang'an from Jinling and running down for hundreds of miles, and there is no big problem.
Regarding Yu Guozhen's arrangement of a horse change between Jinling and Xiang'an, Sun Lin was no longer surprised.
"Ke Xian, your kung fu is weak."
Compared with Yu Guozhen's Shentai Ziruo, Sun Lin's appearance is a little ugly. In the past half a year, because of the abundance in his hands, he was addicted to the wine of Qinhuai River, and his body, which had been trained quite well, became a little loose.
Yu Guozhen was willing to take him out because he was too addicted to wine.
"Alas...... Jimin, do you know what Mi Zhi and I are talking about you behind your back, demon...... You are the wicked. Sun Lin sighed mournfully, touched his worn thigh, and slowly got off the horse.
"Demons?"
"Yes, you said that what you did, who would think about it at your age except for demons. Those of us who study are both civil and military, but there are a few who are as good as you. Sun Lin pinched Yu Guozhen's arm with some envy, and through his jacket, he could still feel the tight and strong muscles, and he patted his thigh again: "The flesh in the hips!" ”
"But you asked for it, the country is in trouble, the big husband is determined to sweep away the unevenness, turbidity and purity, and finally indulge in pink ......"
"Okay, okay, don't lecture me, I already know." Sun Lin hugged his head and sighed.
Yu Guozhen smiled and handed the horse to the groom who came up. In the past two years, Hosoyanagi has bought a lot of good horses, and there are dozens of them, and in order to take care of these horses, they have hired special grooms. Yu Guozhen was about to beckon Sun Lin into the courtyard, when suddenly, he heard a commotion from the stable, and then saw a young man with his hands outstretched, standing on the back of a bareback horse rushing over.
As soon as Yu Guozhen raised his eyebrows, before he could speak, Gao Dazhu had already come over: "Wang Qinian!" ”
Hearing this, Gao Dazhu who came out to greet him was really angry, originally thought that the little officials would stay in Jinling for a little longer, and it was the Lantern Festival, so he let this group of boys relax, but he didn't expect the little officials to come in advance.
Yu Guozhen stopped, Sun Lin thought he was going to blame the young man, so he said behind his back: "This guy's riding skills are very good, and they can be used, and the people don't have to be blamed." ”
Yu Guozhen smiled, how could he blame, this Wang Qinian, but he was one of the most optimistic teenagers in the fifth phase.
"Ahh When Wang Qinian saw Yu Guozhen, his body shook, jumped off the horse, and fell directly on his heels.
Yu Guozhen stepped forward to help him up, but he got up by himself with a grunt, his face was covered with mud and bruises, and he smirked at Yu Guozhen: "Little official, it's okay, it's okay!" ”
"If you break a bone, you will say it's okay!" Yu Guozhen snorted: "If you practice horsemanship, you will learn horsemanship, but you play such a trick, could it be that you are a Tianzhu person, you don't practice the right way when you train soldiers, you only practice juggling?" ”
When Sun Lin heard this, he secretly admired it in his heart, Yu Jimin was really knowledgeable, and Tianzhu people knew that they only practiced juggling. It's just that Yu Jimin saw this thing from which ancient book? "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty"? Or what other books?
"It's really fine......" Wang Qinian smirked.
"Dazhu, take him to the infirmary, see if the bone is broken, if it is not broken, bring him to be whipped three times, let him remember his surname for a long time, he is always stupid, doing such stupid things." Yu Guozhen commanded.
Hearing that he was about to whip him, Wang Qinian not only did not fear, but smirked even more on his face, Gao Dazhu was also helpless, and he had a lot of family guards to practice, like this guy, it was the first time he saw it.
I'm not afraid of pain, I'm not afraid of falling, I'm obviously stupid, but I still love to be in the limelight.
"Are you still happy to hear the whip?" Sun Lin saw the strangeness, took a step behind, and asked Wang Qinian, who was about to be taken away.
"Happy." Wang Qinian is still smirking.
"Why?"
"I won't tell you."
"It's really a fool!" Sun Lin said when he heard this.
A young man next to Wang Qinian said with a smile: "The official Mo is familiar with him, he is really a fool, he said that after being beaten, the other courtyard will give him boiled sugar water and eggs to replenish his body, so he is happy." ”
Sun Lin was stunned, and then laughed: "Jimin, where did you find this kid, it's really interesting, interesting!" ”
"The two villain brothers, both of whom were found by petty officials in Jinling City, the villain's ancestor also had a big shot, Jian'an Bo Wang Shouren."
"Wang Yangming." Wang Qinian, who had been smirking, added.
This is almost impossible, and Sun Lin also knows that the people of the time like to be attached and find a celebrity as their ancestor. He smiled and arched his hand: "After it turned out to be Mr. Yangming, it was really disrespectful and disrespectful......"
"You two boys, don't you want to go back to your own group, do you want to eat sugar water eggs for seven days in a row?" Gao Dazhu snatched the military stick from the hand of a young man next to him, and knocked it with a stick.
Suddenly, the chickens flew and the dogs jumped, and the two young men surnamed Wang were driven aside.
"Don't drive away, I think these two people are very interesting, one is very cunning, and the other is silly and stupid." Sun Lindao.
"Mr. Sun, these two boys are cousins, living in Jinling, the one who fell off the horse is called Wang Qinian, who was injured by a slave in Jinling City, and touched his brain, and since then something is not quite right. Following his name is Wang Rui, is a cousin, Wang Qinian was hit in order to protect him, this kid also has a conscience, with half of the stupid cousin for a few months, in April last year, the petty officials found them in Jinling City, so they brought them back to Jinling, and raised them for a few months before recovering their vitality, these two boys are the most naughty, especially this Wang Rui, scheming, every time he makes his cousin do this and that, making a mess in our courtyard. ”
Gao Dazhu has become a relative, and a family like him does not have the importance of keeping filial piety for three years. Maybe it's because his wife is trained after marriage, he talks a lot now, and when he saw that Sun Lin was interested in these two people, he talked to him carefully: "However, Wang Rui's brain is good, he has read a few books before, and he actually knows 1,800 words, and now he is the king of children in home school." I heard him say that Wang Qinian was the same as him, but unfortunately he was beaten stupidly, and now he is a groom in the family bathroom - this guy was hit by a horse stupidly, but he likes horses the most, and his surname is Tongma, and the petty officials say that he was robbed by a horse when he was hit......"
"Ahem!"
Yu Guozhen turned his head and glanced at Gao Dazhu: "If you don't do the right thing, when did you become so nagging!" ”
Gao Dazhu didn't say anything with a smile, and Wang Rui, who was joining in the fun, said with a smile: "Little official, Dazhu's sister-in-law has it, these two Dazhu brothers are singing wherever they go!" ”
This Wang Rui is indeed a reading material, but for half a year, among the people who stayed in the Xiliu Courtyard, only Liu Rushi could teach him, that is, the second pillar of the big pillar, and he had followed Yu Guozhen for so long, and the things he learned were also hollowed out by him. But Wang Qinian is the other extreme, it is so bad that he has no talent for reading, and until now, he has forgotten how to write his name.
"Okay, don't nag, it's the fifteenth day of the first month, and I don't know what the north side will look like, Dazhu, you immediately order, enter the second-class combat readiness within half an hour!"
"Yes!" Gao Dazhu's expression was awe-inspiring.
According to the rules of the Hosoyanagi Palace, the combat readiness is divided into four classes, and the fourth class is the general combat readiness of Pingyueli; The third class requires that all non-essential leave be stopped, that all must stay in the camp, and that the vacation of every ten days be cancelled; The second class requires everyone to be on standby, and if they hear the sound of an order, they must be able to dispatch within ten minutes of Western time; As for the first class, it is that it has entered a state of war, the weapons have been distributed, and each person carries rations that can support the three days of the battle.
"Jimin, how should we do it?" Sun Lin followed Yu Guozhen into the house, and there was already a sharp sound of locking outside the house, this kind of tune was to notify the entire Xiliu Courtyard to enter the second-class combat readiness.
"Don't leave anything to chance, the first thing I want to do is to withdraw all the characters into Jinling City." Yu Guozhen said.
"What, you're going to give up Xiang'an?" Sun Lin exclaimed.
Yu Guozhen didn't answer this question, he pushed open the window to the north, and the wind was blowing, gloomy and piercing, and it seemed to have a bloody smell.
"Rogue...... It's not like last year's rioters. Yu Guozhen said.
"Fengyang is not comparable to Tongcheng, it is not so easy to be attacked, right?" Sun Lindao.
"Fengyang will be broken." Yu Guozhen said slowly.
At this time, Fengyang had fallen into a gloom.
The sky was already dark early, and the sky was overcast, and there was not a trace of starlight.
Yang Ze, the eunuch left behind in the central capital, clapped his hands and applauded: "Okay, good, there is no moon in the sky, just look at the lanterns......"
The prefect Yan Rongxuan also laughed: "My father-in-law is very Yaxing, I heard that the thieves broke Yingzhou, and we still have to be cautious when appreciating the lanterns." ”
"That's not our family's business, it's your prefect Yan's business, it's the governor Yang's business, it's the general soldier's Zhu Guoxiang's business, our family only knows that Yingzhou is still hundreds of miles away from us, and there are several states and counties on the way...... Just in case, didn't Zhu Guoxiang lead his troops to meet the enemy? ”
Yang Ze's words made Yan Rongxuan's smile a little bitter, he was busy socializing these days, and he was drunk and smoky every day, but now he finally woke up and wanted to do things seriously, but this lieutenant was still drunk.
Maybe this old eunuch is greedy for money, but he is right, from Yingzhou to Zhongdu, there are still hundreds of miles, let's talk about it after a few days.
The thought came to him, and suddenly, he heard the sound of fast horses, and the ladies and ladies of the streets dodged one after another, and then an urgent soldier appeared in front of him.
"What's going on?" Yan Rong was heartbroken, and asked in a deep voice.
He recognized the soldier he had sent out to find out the news.
"Master Qiyu, the thief, the thief has arrived in the middle capital, and the chief soldier Lord Zhu committed suicide in Yaoshan!"
This news was like a thunderclap in the middle of winter, which shook everyone's eyes. The eunuch Yang Ze's feet were weak, and his body was even heavier.
Outside Fengyang City, Zhang Xianzhong, known as the Eight Kings and the Yellow Tiger, grinned and sneered at this central capital without a city outline.
"How, I said that the garrison here is empty, this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, if the city is broken, there are golden silk women." When he said this, the pockmarks on Zhang Xianzhong's face seemed to be shining, he looked at his left and right generals, and finally stopped at one of them: "Hopeful!" ”
The man stood up and his eyes widened: "Father! ”
"The matter of capturing Zhongdu is handed over to you, don't let Zhang Yichuan, the sweeping king, take the lead." Zhang Xianzhong ordered.
