Xingyang, the scripture hall.

The armor-bright Qianniuwei, armed with swords and guns, guarded the large and small exits of the scripture hall. Just after the New Year, the early spring sun shone on the armor and weapons, and there was a cold halo of light, which made people feel like a cicada, and did not dare to take half a step forward.

In fact, even if they wanted to get closer, it was unlikely.

On the periphery of the scripture hall, there are more than 1,000 soldiers guarding the inner and outer three floors. However, they did not prevent anyone from attacking the prayer hall from the outside, but they prevented people from coming out of the scripture hall. Tianbao General Yuwen Chengdu, before arriving in Xingyang, had secretly ordered the government soldiers stationed in Bishui Pass to arrive outside Xingyang overnight. Zheng Shanguo's letter arrived in Xingyang City at almost the same time as Yuwen Chengdu.

Yuwen Chengdu's face was cold, and there was no expression.

After reading out the holy decree, he said to the three elders of the scripture hall in a deep voice: "Gong Zheng, if Chengdu refuses to be accommodating, it is really difficult to disobey it. Please Zheng Gongdon't embarrass the young general, hand over Zheng Xing. ”

Zheng Yuanshou said in a trembling voice: "General Tianbao, is there really no way?" ”

Yuwen Chengdu smiled bitterly and shook his head......

He was tired of Zheng Xing in his heart, and he didn't even want to see Zheng Xing. For Yuwen Chengdu, who participated in the Battle of Liaodong, it was an indelible shame in his heart. At the beginning, when he heard the news that Zheng Xing burned down the Nanshui camp and rescued Paoze, he also admired Zheng Xing. In private, he also said to the third uncle Yu Wenshi: Zheng Jiawen has half a fate, Wu has Zheng Xing, and he will make a comeback, and he can wait.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Zheng Yanqing became a rebel general who defected to the enemy, which made Yuwen Chengdu a little unacceptable.

It is precisely for this reason that he attaches more importance to Zheng Xing...... It's just that Zheng Yanqing came back, and Yuwen Chengdu found that the people and things he respected were all lies. That feeling of being deceived made Yuwen Chengdu feel angry.

came to Xingyang to arrest Zheng Xing, Yuwen Chengdu was worried that the Zheng family would stop him, so he specially transferred soldiers from Bishui Pass.

Looking at Zheng Yuanshou's gray hair, Yuwen Chengdu also felt a little unbearable. He and Zheng Yuanshou knew each other, and when they retreated from Liaodong, Yuwen Chengdu also passed under Zheng Yuanshou's rule. For this Zheng child who likes gladiatorial fights and has a bold surname, he is very impressed.

But in the blink of an eye, the black hair was already gray.

Yuwen Chengdu glanced at Zheng Shanyuan, who was expressionless next to him, and said in a low voice: "Gong Zheng, send Zheng Xing on the road...... After the province got Luoyang, not only would he be ridiculed and insulted, but he would also be beheaded by the death of his life. Now on the road, at least there is no need to suffer. ”

It was the only thing he could do.

Zheng Yuanshou burst into tears and bowed his head gently.

"General Tianbao's affection, old and decaying...... Thank you! ”

As he spoke, he stood up, turned his head and walked back into the back hall. Yuwen Chengdu didn't follow, just sat quietly on the top of the middle hall.

At this time, Zheng Yuanshou didn't dare to play any tricks, he wasn't too worried.

"General Tianbao, the family is unfortunate, and the old decay suffers from this incident, and it is inevitable that he will be confused. I won't talk to General Tianbao and retire first. ”

"Return to Changgong for his own convenience."

Although Zheng Shanyuan has been deposed of the title of Duke of Guichang, it is customary for Yuwen Chengdu to be called 'Duke of Guichang'.

Zheng Shanyuan got up and patted Mrs. Lu on the shoulder, "Brother and sister, let's mourn." ”

"Schadenfreude old thing."

Zheng Yuancong couldn't help but curse in a low voice. After the incident, Zheng Shanyuan was the first person to ask for the abolition of Zheng Shi'an's old man, and it was he who suggested that the land under Zheng Shi'an's name be confiscated, and asked Zheng Shi'an Zheng Yanqing to be his ancestors and grandchildren, and the Zheng family was dismissed. The most ruthless person who fell into the well is him. Now, things have changed, and the old thing wiped his face and immediately made a detached gesture that it was not about himself.

At this moment, I am still pretending to be comforted, I am afraid that my heart has blossomed...... Zheng Yuancong asked in a low voice: "General Yuwen, the emperor...... Did you say anything else? ”

"When the young general left Luoyang, Zheng Shangshu had already written to resign."

"Ahh

Zheng Yuancong was taken aback, opened his mouth wide, and was speechless for a long time.

"It's us who have caused the good results......"

He sighed and asked again, "What about Zheng Yanqing......

"Your Majesty's edict: Zheng Yanqing is disrespectful in resisting the decree, but he has made outstanding achievements. Therefore, the merits and demerits offset each other, and he was ordered to live in Gongxian County and think about it behind closed doors. ”

Zheng Yuancong smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect this kid to be so fierce, fighting to lose both, and he has to take this breath." ”

"Everyone came from the young man's surname, and if this matter were to be me, I'm afraid it would be the same. However, before I left Luoyang, Pei Gong asked me to tell Zheng Gong a word. ”

Zheng Yuancong immediately shook his spirits and said respectfully: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

The person who can be called 'Pei Gong' by Yuwen Chengdu, looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, I am afraid that there is only one person. That is Dr. Jin Ziguanglu, Pei Shiju.

Yuwen Chengdu said: "Pei Gong said: Banyuanjun does this, it may not be beneficial to the Zheng family. His exploits in Goguryeo were too prominent to be a good thing. Zheng Xing, although it is quite regrettable, but there are losses and gains, which is not necessarily a bad thing. In short, please think twice. ”

If Zheng Yuancong has no grudge against Zheng Yanqing, it is a lie.

But Pei Shiju entrusted Yuwen Chengdu with two 'maybes', but they caused Zheng Yuancong to think deeply.

He is different from Zheng Yuanshou, he is a thoughtful person.

After hesitating for a moment, he said in a low voice: "Please General Tianbao tell Pei Gong that this time to mention some affection, the Zheng family must remember it." ”

As he spoke, Zheng Yuanshou slowly walked out of the back hall.

He carried a bloody human head in his hand and came to Yuwen Chengdu.

When Mrs. Lu saw the head, she couldn't help but exclaim, "My son...... Zheng Yuanshou, you ruthless guy, don't you even want to let go of your own flesh and blood? I'm fighting with you! ”

Zheng Yuanshou was expressionless, and pushed away Mrs. Lu who pounced.

"Send Madame back to rest."

After speaking, he presented the head and said in a trembling voice: "Zheng Xing's head is here, please check it by the general." ”

Yuwen Chengdu glanced at the bloody head and recognized that it was Zheng Xing's head. He had seen Zheng Xing, and when he returned to Luoyang, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty summoned Zheng Xing and was given a thousand cattle to prepare. Qianniuwei is almost always controlled by Yuwen Chengdu, so he has also met Zheng Xing a few times, and even spoke. Looking at Zheng Xing's head, who still had an incredible look in his eyes, Yuwen Chengdu, sighed lightly.

If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?

Zheng Xing, Zheng Xing, seeing that you are also a smart person, don't you know that there are some things that can't be done, some things that can't be said, and some people can't be offended?

"Gong Zheng, mourn!"

Zheng Yuanshou's cheeks twitched twice, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't send it." ”

Between the words, it is extremely rude. Yuwen Chengdu was not surprised, nodded, ordered someone to put Zheng Xing's head into the box, and said goodbye and left.

"Zheng Yanqing, if you don't take revenge, I swear not to be a person."

Zheng Yuanshou looked at Yuwen Chengdu's back and looked up to the sky and roared.

Zheng Yuancong had the heart to step forward to persuade him, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back. looked at Zheng Yuanshou's back in a daze, and was silent for a long time.

****

After leaving Xingyang, Yuwen Chengdu did not dare to slack off, and ordered the soldiers to return to Bishui Pass, and he brought three hundred thousand Niu Wei and rushed back to Luoyang.

Hurry for a while, pass under the rule of Gong County.

Yuwen Chengdu found that there were many people on the road, hurrying, as if there was something going on.

So he sent someone over to inquire, and the Qianniuwei came back and reported: "General, these people are going to see the funeral of the goose boy." ”

"Funeral?" Yuwen Chengdu was stunned, "For whom is the funeral?" Zheng Yanqing's family, there is a funeral? ”

They said that the goose boy was going to erect a monument for his mount, so he rushed to see the excitement. I heard that the goose boy had a beloved white dragon horse, and he went with him to go east and west in Goguryeo. As a result, when Gao Jianwu was captured alive by the bank of Liangshui, his white dragon horse died of exhaustion.

The goose boy loved his horses very much, so he brought the white dragon horse back to Gongxian County, and found a feng shui treasure in Huoshan Mountain to be buried, and a monument was erected to commemorate it. This is the first time that a new work has come out since the goose boy conquered Goguryeo and made "Spring River Flower Moon Night" for a year. The literati around him went to observe one after another, wanting to see what the new work of the goose boy looked like, but it had the previous level......"

Qianniuwei is the emperor's personal guard, and his background must be strictly selected.

Yang Guang himself is also a very literary person, so the selection of Qianniuwei is even more demanding.

If you want to become a Qianniuwei, you must not only have a superior background, but also be literate and hyphenated. Otherwise, there are more people with good martial arts in the world, so why bother looking for you to take on the heavy responsibility. Therefore, when Qian Niuwei returned to Yuwen Chengdu, his words also revealed a trace of yearning.

For Zheng Yanqing, who pioneered the singing goose body and enjoys a clear reputation in the literary world, Qian Niuwei is also very interested.

Yuwen Chengdu could naturally hear the meaning of this Qianniuwei's words, and couldn't help laughing. Anyway, Zheng Xing's head has already been obtained, so he won't delay for a while. The important thing is that he is also very curious about Zheng Yanqing, especially Zheng Yanqing's heart for his love horse, which makes Yuwen Chengdu feel a little more good. Yuwen Chengdu originally had a good impression of Zheng Yanqing, but because of the saying of 'defecting to the enemy', he had some evil thoughts. However, the rumors have been broken, and the evil thoughts have long since disappeared, and at the same time, the good feelings have been further strengthened.

"I have heard that the goose boy is full of literary brilliance, and the poems he has made are all masterpieces.

It's just that I've never seen him write poems with my own eyes, such a good opportunity, why don't we go and observe it, and after returning to Luoyang, we can talk about it more? ”

Qianniuwei, Qi claims to be good.

The group immediately changed their route, followed the passers-by, and went to Huoshan to watch.

Along the way, there are more and more pedestrians. There are literati, there are also children of families, and the people around Pangong County come to see the excitement.

Huoshan, thousands of rocks compete for the show, and thousands of ravines compete for the stream.

The peaks and peaks in the mountains are continuous, and the streams linger. Just after the New Year, most of the mountains are still covered in snow. The beautiful style, if you are a graceful girl, is extremely sultry. Twenty-four big men, carrying a huge coffin, walked along the rugged mountain road to the foot of Tianmen Peak.

The most famous scenery of this Tianmen Peak is the natural peak that looks like a big Buddha.

It is 198 meters high, and its eyebrows and eyes are like the real one, which makes people sigh at the creation energy of nature. The tomb of the white dragon horse was chosen under Tianmen Peak. In order to let the beloved horses who fought in Goguryeo with him rest peacefully, Zheng Yanqing specially invited this feng shui treasure to be selected. You must know that this Huo Mountain is the Qinglong Mountain of later generations, and it is also the location of the Northern Song Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum, and its feng shui ...... A huge mound has been built.

Twenty-four tiger guards, in a piece of Western Regions Huqu, slowly placed the coffin in the mound.

The white dragon horse comes from the Western Regions, although it cannot be buried in the Western Regions, but it can also sleep in Huqu. Zheng Yanqing was dressed in plain white, wearing a white cloak, and his eyes were red and swollen looking at the coffin of the jade hoof, and fell into the tomb. Thinking of Jade Hoof's contribution along the way, he burst into tears.

"Jade Hoof, is the soul back?"

Zheng Yanqing stood in front of the grave and cried.

Next to his grave, Shen Guangmao Xiaonian, with a thin waist and four eyes that had grown up, stood quietly and solemnly. Two small mastiffs, already grown. Huge size, like a lion cub, extremely powerful. They and Jade Hoof, it can be said that they grew up since childhood, although they are not the same kind, but they also have a deep affection. If you don't want to see it for a while, you will be separated forever. With Zheng Yanqing's call, the two little mastiffs raised their heads to the sky and roared, the sound as sharp as a wolf's howl, with endless sadness. They knew that from now on, Jade Hoof would never be able to run wild with them again.

Yuwen Chengdu stood in the crowd, looking at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but feel sad.

A good horse, as far as a military general, is like life. Zheng Yanqing can have such feelings for his horse, this person should be a good person.

"Huma is famous, sharp and skinny.

The bamboo batch has both ears, and the wind is light into the four hooves.

There is no space in the direction, and it is really worthy of life and death.

Xiaoteng has this, thousands of miles can be rampant......"

Accompanied by Hu Qu, a low five-character quatrain was sung from Huwei's mouth. Immediately after, I saw the tiger guards in front of the tomb, struggling to push up a bluestone stele, the top two huge gold characters: Hu Ma ...... The strokes of the iron pen and silver hook are majestic and powerful. The pen is round, but there is a magnificent atmosphere.

The people around couldn't help whispering: "Did the goose boy actually write poems and set up a monument for his beloved horse?" ”

The font is impressively a goose style, but compared to that year, it is more stylish. Zheng Yanqing, who came down from the battlefield, became more and more mature in his pen. Between the hooks and the vertical and horizontal, there is a faint aura of slaughter. The poem is not long, but it is as good as Zheng Yanqing's heart for his love for horses.

"Get out of the way!"

Just when people were sighing for the inscription of Nahuma, they heard a thunderous roar.

Two burly and strong men with almost the same size as Yuwen Chengdu, one black and one white, carried a huge stone horse statue and walked to the tomb.

"Jade Hoof, the soul is back...... Today, I will erect a monument here, hoping that you can rest in peace under the nine springs.

If there is an afterlife, I will definitely go to you again and fight with you again. Zheng Yanqing spoke, his voice was a little choked, and he couldn't continue.

He walked up to the stone horse statue and exerted his strength at the same time as the majestic sea Kan Ling.

Thousands of pounds of stone horses, by the three of them in the book on the side of the stone stele. This is Zheng Yanqing in Gong County, asking someone to carve it out overnight. The image of the jade hoof is vividly reproduced in front of you. The hissing of the head made people's blood boil, and they couldn't help but hold their breath.

"A man should be like this, and he will cross the good horse with a bow.

The long knife is as cold as snow, and the jade hooves step on the royal court. Zheng Yanqing was in front of the grave, sprinkled wine and worshipped, and only left after the tomb was built.

A majestic horse mound stands at the foot of Tianmen Peak.

Yuwen Chengdu stood for a long time, and suddenly said to Qianniuwei beside him: "Husband, be like this!" ”
