Advise the Son of Heaven, tend to Xijing, and ask Yingying to connect the north and south.

Yu Yu revisited the plains, and tears flowed for thousands of miles.

Nine songs are of high standard, neither of them are seen, and the generosity is silent.

Why do women look, why do people go, Kyushu hurts Xintinghou.

Mian Mian is incomparable in wisdom, and the autumn wind is sent to the whim.

――"The Epic of Xinyue: The Legend of Xue Fantai"

The literal meaning of those two words is: the dead.

Therefore, the group of Luo Wei cavalry who came to sneak attack sacrificed hundreds of people, just to create the best time for the dead to assassinate the prisoners in the car.

They succeeded. Hateful.

A pain gnashed at my heart, and a feeling of powerlessness paralyzed my nerves.

After the death threat finally approached these family members who had been pampered in Beijing since childhood, and after watching the Ming Jian Division and the guards of the Praetorian Guard shed blood and sacrifice for them, there was a brief shock, and the awakening of human nature was still there after all.

I also knew that I had made a mistake, and I didn't show up again along the way, and stayed in the carriage with my grandfather.

On the day I arrived in Xijing, spring sprouted slightly, and everything seemed to wake up.

It was the second time that the envoys of the Beiming Kingdom, who had arrived in Xijing with our group of people, had come to talk about a joint anti-Japanese peace treaty.

Today's Beiming Kingdom, in fact, a few years ago, was still regarded as a mountain bandit of Liangshan Liukou.

However, with the Yangtze River in its back, facing the rivers and oceans and water conservancy, with Qingmai Mountain in the west to build a walled defense system, and in the east as a waterway transportation hub -- the economically rich Beiming Kingdom, for Xinyue, which faced the huge threat of Luo Wei, sooner or later, it was an ally that had to compromise and recognize each other.

Thinking of this, I raised my head slightly, and like many people on the streets of Xijing, I looked at the procession of Beiming envoys.

The cold willow wind blew for ten miles, and Xijing, which had not been slaughtered by the war, was still a peaceful scene:

The hawkers in the streets and alleys, the stalls for sale, the merchants with flags open on the doors, the patrol soldiers who hurried by, the green oil trucks driving the tames, the small sedan chairs decorated with golden silk horns, and the aunts who shouted and paved the rows, the alleys and alleys were very lively.

When I returned to Xijing Xue Mansion, I was entertaining guests at home.

I walked around the hall, and in the distance, I saw two shadow walls in my home:

On the turquoise and huge chessboard wall, thousands of chessboards, tens of thousands of chess pieces, various chess games, changing formations, black and white chess pieces, dotted in between, as if walking into the stargazing platform at night.

When I looked closely, it turned out that on the two shadow walls, the chess game reflected each other, restrained each other, changed offense and defense, the line of success or failure, perfect match, love and kill. I was tickled for a while, and my heart was excited.

I performed the art of yoga, swept through thousands of chess games on both shadow walls, and finally stopped silently in front of a strange chess game.

Immediately, with the help of memory, he turned his head to find the reflection of this chess game, but there was no solution?

I was amazed, after all, I am very good at the art of microscopic observation, shorthand and screening, which ordinary people cannot. I am confident that even if the starry sky is vast, the stars are endless, and the changes are endless, I can easily distinguish the difference between the stars and the half.

However, I repeatedly checked the chess game on the two shadow walls twice, and it was an even number of chess games that corresponded one-to-one, but this strange lone book appeared, which made people wonder about the subtleties.

After a long time, I suddenly dialed a few of the chess pieces, and when I pinched them in my hand, the smooth warm jade chess pieces were black and white, and through the faint light of the sun, they flashed different black dots and projected them on the ground.

A flash of inspiration. Put the pieces back on the board. But I heard a hearty laugh behind me.

I looked back and saw the smiling empty Taoist, and the old man behind him

- Father, trying to suppress his anger.

Although I have been a scout spy for many years, any of his emotions have long been unknown, and I was almost immediately frightened by his anger because of my ability to observe the subtleties and know him too well.

I turned to the empty silence to perform the junior salute and said with a smile, "Uncle empty silence is good~~~".

The empty and silent iconic eyebrows bent down abruptly, but there was still a smile in his eyes.

He walked straight to the shadow wall covered with chessboards, turned to look at me with a slight gaze, and said, "The virtuous nephew has good eyesight and good chess skills. ”

His gaze was very gentle, but I had a hint of guilt in my heart.

That chess game is still the same chess game, but it is no longer the original chess game.

Master Empty Silence walked up to me, gently spread out the palm of his left hand, and placed it in front of me.

I was very embarrassed, put a chess piece hidden in my hand, sweated back into his hand, and explained without three hundred taels of silver: "I think this chess piece is extra, I'm afraid my uncle put it wrong-"

Empty smile and silent, with a trace of inexplicable weirdness on his lips, happy and hateful, both good and evil. The wind blew his robe, fluttering.

He looked at his father and arched his hand and said, "Ling Lang's eyesight is extraordinary, and the virtuous brother should be relieved to have this Ling'er." ”

Then he lowered his voice slightly and said, "If you want to have Ling Lang going, it will be helpful for me and other important things." ”

I watched the subtle changes in my father's face, the slight trembling behind his ears, the slight tremor between his noses, and the urge to slip up in my heart, but my legs couldn't move my steps......

I cried out in my heart.

I only heard my father say lightly: "I'll send off the empty silence." Since you have just arrived in Xijing and are tired from the journey, you will go to bathe and change your clothes first, and after resting in the middle of the sleep, after dinner, you will come directly to the Houtang Ancestral Hall to find me. ”

After a slight pause, he added: "Don't go out and hang around." ”

I only accepted the order and went to settle it myself.

After bathing, having tea and dinner, and thinking about the family method of being whipped by my father, I was the first to think of my grandfather, and sneaked out of my grandfather's house to move the rescue soldiers, which seemed to be the safest way.

Thinking of this, I rolled my eyes slightly, looked at the courtyard wall at home, and wanted to come to my yoga kung fu, this courtyard wall is still rare for me to go?

However, I was wrong, and when I wandered to the root of the wall, I found that the secret post of the Ming Jian Division actually had a player who specialized in guarding the root of the wall.

In order to...... Right...... Scheme...... Private......

I whispered to myself. Slightly depressed, it seems that this way is not working.

Suddenly, his eyes rolled and he saw the vegetable sister on the edge of the firewood house, and the vegetable sister bought vegetables for the house all the year round, so she was called the vegetable sister.

On the vegetable cart that Sister Cai had emptied, there was a pile of empty loose sacks.

I peeped left and right, and there was no one around, so I plunged into it and ambushed myself inside.

However, as soon as the eldest sister pulled the frame, she immediately felt that the weight was wrong, she picked up a handful of iron scales, and raised her hand when she saw it.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, I shouted in a panic: "Sister Cai, Sister Cai, don't-it's me, I'm-"

Sister Cai took me out of the rag bag, and her big hand, which was slightly rough, lovingly swept through my head, and sorted out one or two vegetable leaves hanging on it: "The little young master is here today--why are you here to play-"

As she spoke, suddenly, her eyes blinked and softened back.

In my sinful groping pig hand is a thin needle with a drug.

"I'm sorry, Sister Cai-," I whispered to Sister Cai, who had fainted, expressing my deep repentance for my sins, "Seeing that you are similar to me, I have no choice but to do so." Save someone's life, win the seventh-level floating slaughter, and you will definitely live a long life. ”

I put my arms around Sister Cai, slowly put her in the firewood room, untied her waist shirt, danced with my hands, curled my hair into a slightly equal look to hers, and slapped a few handfuls of dirt on my face.

When it was a little dark and about to go to the door, he hurriedly went out of the house.

Amitabha Buddha actually slipped out.

Out of the house, go straight to the grandfather's mansion is the right way. I walked to the river, washed my face, and then ran outside my grandfather's house.

After all, my grandfather is a civil minister, although he is a great Confucian of the Hanlin Academy, but he is not involved in secrets, and he is very clean inside and outside the house.

I looked at the big red Luo shirt on my body, touched the fallen horse bun on my head, and thought about my current dignity, so as not to be scary, I simply jumped into the backyard wall.

One day's misty night, at this time is still a little cold, resting on the moonlight weeping willows, facing the pond on the edge of the stone bench, there are two people sitting.

I rubbed my eyes, and for the first time I doubted my incomparably confident eyes.

The one who drank with his grandfather was not the first seat of the former Xinyue Guozi Supervision Ordnance Engineering Division, and later switched to Beiming and became the minister of Beiming, and now he came to envoy - Fu Shao.

I looked at him from a distance, and he was just a little bit older.

Thick eyebrows and big eyes, dignified, neither humble nor arrogant, humble gentleman, there is no trace of the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes from Beiming, but he is cautious, gentle as jade, and his gestures are all Confucian demeanor.

Fu Shao did not wear an official uniform, nor did he wear an official uniform according to the system, presumably he came this time to visit him secretly by a personal tutor and a micro-service. There were a few secret guards on his side, all of whom were standing a little far away.

He wears a neat and fine silk robe with no other ornaments, narrow and convenient sleeves, and a soft armor silk simple daku, which is extremely ordinary, but it shows a bit of poetry and calligraphy.

The outer justice has a sentence with him, but there is no sentence, talking about the past.

"Thanks to your father, Master Fu Yanfu, is he okay? ……”

"Ling Gong is polite, and my father also cherishes good talents. The father's body is still strong, and Ling Gong doesn't have to worry about it. ”

"Hey, that year Jiu'er was only three years old, Fan Taizheng served in the Ili Green Battalion, following the Ili general at that time, and Xiong Huaiyi, who was later appointed as the chief general of the Western Expedition to the Jin Russian Left Route Army, went on the expedition.

The Right Route Army of that year was led by Lin Fengzhi, the brother of the first emperor's favorite concubine Lin Concubine. ”

"The first emperor was already sixty-five years old, and Lin Concubine Cardamom was in her prime, and she had no heirs, and because she was born as a singer, she had no foundation in the court.

So Lin Fengzhi, the elder brother of Concubine Lin, obtained important military merits with the help of this battle, so as to steadily promote the position of Concubine Lin's harem to make her feel at ease, and everyone in the dynasty knew it.

The left and right armies set out from the northwest and the capital respectively, went to Mengluo to make peace, and raided Helan Mountain from Daizhou and Qinzhou according to their strategies.

Who knew that the right army got lost halfway and disappeared without a trace, there was no news of the falcon, carrier pigeons, and secret sentinels, and the left army had already gone deep alone and was investigated by the enemy.

So Xiong Huaiyi, the commander of the left army, had no choice but to send Fan Tai to lead the scout flying cavalry to explore the way to find and contact the right army, and he himself went around the desert with Jin Russia and fought in the desert.

The sad left army ran out of food, grass and arrows, crossed Qiling Mountain, Flame Mountain, and crossed Shazhou Ridge, and finally fell into a heavy siege, 80,000 soldiers and horses fought to 200, and Xiong Huaiyi was finally captured......"

"I found the right army and met with Fantai, but soon after, I got the bad news that the left army was defeated and the commander was captured.

Lin Fengzhi, the commander of the right army, was extremely frightened, and immediately played the court, claiming that Xiong Huaiyi of the left army had been defeated and surrendered to Jin Russia, and intended to assist the Jin Russian army to come to block the new Vietnamese army, and asked to withdraw for the time being.

Although Xiong Huaiyi's father, General Xiong, with his influence among military generals and civil officials, made the imperial court repeatedly petition, and finally forced the imperial court to thoroughly investigate the cause of the defeat in this battle, and obtained the opportunity to order Xue Fantai, the commander of the scout battalion, to state the battle situation in front of the saint.

However, at that time, no one was sure how Fantai would answer. ”

"Yes, I've heard my father say it. Lin Concubine was favored by the first emperor and everyone knew about it, and Lin Fengzhi also sent someone to threaten and lure General Xue. General Xue finally withstood the pressure and told the truth, which was actually praised by Shilin that year. ”

"Hey...... People's hearts are not as good as water, Fantai has never entered the stream, and the people in Shilin have always been only low-ranking martial artists in the borderland, but where do they understand the feelings of robes, and people have the same heart. ”

"Yes, if you put an unwarranted stigma on General Xiong at the beginning, it would be to put tens of thousands of soldiers who died in battle under him in a place of injustice, and countless widows and weak children behind him will not be guaranteed, which really makes the soldiers unable to look at Jiuquan."

"Because of this incident, General Xue became known as a loyal, righteous and virtuous man, but he also unexpectedly disobeyed the Sacred Heart and was angered by the thunder of the first emperor."

"Ah, my miserable daughter and son-in-law. The first emperor angrily reprimanded Fan Tai for selling his reputation, violating the holy will, and betraying the sacred heart, and wanted to follow the example of Ma Qian of the Taishi Company, so in the name of imitating Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he dismissed Fan Tai and imposed a corrupt punishment. ”

"After the blow of this great change, Mrs. Xue couldn't afford to fall ill and died suddenly."

"At that time, all the people of the dynasty came to mourn. When your father was in charge of the subordinate department, that time to mourn my poor daughter, it was also the first time I saw you, you were still a teenager at that time, and more than ten years have passed in a flash......"

"If it weren't for your father's efforts to promote Van Tai as the supervisor of Hanoi's history, I really don't know how to go on the road of more than ten years."

"Ling Gong is polite, I remember that at the beginning, Ling Gong personally selected six masters for General Xue and took office with him to make up for his shortcomings in literary and ink kung fu, criminal name and government affairs."

"It is also Fantai's own creation, Hanoi Supervision History, Jianghuai Daoist, Jiangning Transit Envoy, Hedong Political Envoy, and promoted to the capital after the new emperor ascended the throne, becoming the chief privy ...... of the National Mingjian Division"

"But, that is, after becoming the chief privy councillor, Fantai's ten years of incorruptible, virtuous, pure minister, and reputation were lost overnight, and he was denounced as a sinister eunuch, and people are terrible, and it is because of this that he has been in Beijing for a year, and Jiu'er has no friends, poor ......"

"The Mingjian Division holds the privacy of the major dignitaries, is in charge of the secret intelligence inside and outside the country, and becomes a sharp blade of the Son of Heaven at any time, hanging in the hearts of many officials.

Although it is said that if people don't know, unless they do nothing, but after all, in the officialdom, there are a few people who can be clean like lotus flowers, and General Xue's current position is always inevitable,......"

These words, since I was a child, my grandfather has been chattering, I am not unusual, but because the mood is too relaxed, I can't control the yoga mind for a while, and the breathing is slightly shaped, which of those secret guards is not the master of the masters?

At the slightest change, they followed my direction and wanted to round up and beat me, an "eavesdropper".

I thought that on my grandfather's territory, if I was really beaten, it would be too shameless, so I didn't wait for them to make a move, so I hurriedly shouted, "Grandpa, it's me, Xue Jiudao-"

Those secret guards were dumbfounded, just now they were still imposing, and suddenly there were flaws in their bodies, I caught a gap in the middle of the four, jumped hard with my left leg, swept over with my right leg, kicked down the two, and I rolled forward in front of my grandfather, hehe smirked.

"Y- how did you get like this?" Grandpa and Fu Shao's eyes were wide.

I looked at my shirt and smiled even more awkwardly.

As the saying goes, if you can hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth.

On the fifth day of my grandfather's "absconding" at my grandfather's house, my father personally came to the door and "invited" me back to Xue's mansion.

In the ancestral hall of the Xue family, unexpectedly, my father did not use the whipping family law on me. Just gave me a great task.

On the 10th day of the fourth month, on the day when the Beiming delegation returned, I got up very early, had breakfast with my father, and went to the Phoenix Pavilion in Xijing as planned.

The Phoenix Pavilion of Xijing is a fifteen-zhang four-storey octagonal platform, the eaves pick the moon, the height of the porch changes and is complicated, and the lake blue glazed tile covers the roof, the dark brick and stone pavement, each brick tile is engraved with the name of the contractor and the name of the shop, it is a place where the song and dance of the Beiming style is leveled.

I rode to the door, then rolled the saddle and dismounted, threw a gold leaf to the waiting servant in front of the door, and picked up a folding fan with a drunken picture of Dongpo, made a gentleman's appearance, and swaggered into the gate on the side of the street.

As soon as I stepped into the door, there was already a purple saro skirt, and the ** holding Juan Pa in his hand came forward with a smile on his face, and looked me up and down:

"Childe looks at his eyes, do you want to listen to the song to relieve your boredom, or do you want to be drunk and gentle, or—" He said and blinked, and said with a strange smile, "Something else?" ”
