Chapter Eighty-Seven: Sympathy

In the past, the border town was in an endless stream of merchants and merchants from the stone city, and the flow of people was crowded, because it was located in the Central Plains and the key points outside the Saiwai, the people's livelihood and official system here inherited more of the genes of the Jin Dynasty, so it was not as self-sufficient as the tribes on the grassland, mainly nomadic herding, but three religions and nine streams, all industries were prosperous, and the market was orderly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info However, everything has changed at the end of the war. The streets were quiet, the four gates were closed, the trade was cut off, and trade was regulated, especially the grain was centrally distributed and distributed according to the head, and money could not buy it. All shops are largely closed.

The tavern located in East Street was opened by a father and daughter from afar, they were originally Huns, but moved to the Han land from their ancestors, and heard that they were oppressed by the local tyrants, and they really couldn't survive, so they returned to their hometown with their families, and opened such a small business in Lishi City, because the old man was diligent and kind, the craftsmanship was good, and the price was fair, so the business soon flourished. His daughter didn't help out in the store, but she was occasionally in charge of the front desk when she was busy. looks like a flower, and is in the boudoir, and there are also eyeless disciples who want to take advantage of the excuse or even make trouble or something, but since the personal soldiers sent by Shan Yu personally beat up the troublemaker, everyone understands that the father and daughter obviously have a lot of backgrounds, and there is a big backer behind them to protect them. From then on, no one dared to fight their father and daughter's idea. But this father and daughter are still smiling and welcoming to the guests and neighbors, and they have made many good connections, which is no different from the past. Unfortunately, the old man did not know what illness he had, so he died overnight, and the hotel was closed, and the door was closed and never opened again. In the middle of the night, the closed door suddenly opened, and two groups of people with extraordinary bearings, who seemed to be either rich or noble, were welcomed in one after the other. There are also good deeds in the neighborhood who get up at night and watch these people coming in and out from a distance, wondering in their hearts, is this store going to reopen again? It doesn't make sense, this army is in chaos, how can there be guests.

Yu'er didn't know the speculation of the neighbors, she was full of joy to send the carefully prepared dishes into the main room, and at this moment sitting in the main room were two people who were famous and held the power of life and death, and they were also the two people who played a great influence and key role in Yu'er's life. One saved their father and daughter from suffering, and the other helped them live and work in a strange city and no longer be bullied. Yu'er laid out the dishes, poured a full bottle of wine, and put them in front of the two of them one by one: "Shan Yu, Childe, you haven't seen each other for a long time, and today is the right time to drink and catch up with the old days." ”

Liu Yuan said with a smile: "Yu'er still understands my thoughts, brother, after a long time, I am very concerned about you for my brother, let's drink this cup full." ”

Yang Ke also raised his glass with a smile: "Big brother, you have lost a lot, and when we meet again today, our brothers are all blessed by Yu'er, I respect my eldest brother and I also respect Yu'er." ”

Liu Yuan said: "Yes, Yu'er, don't see the outside, you are all lobbyists, we are noisy, come and come, you also sit down, let's eat and chat." ”

Yu'er smiled slightly, did not shirk, and sat down to accompany her with a little shyness.

"Big brother, when I first met, you were a proton of the court, and I was a criminal of the government, and now, you are Shan Yu, I am a prison army, and my life is really like a white cloud and a dog, but there is no longer you and my brother around the bonfire, eating roast sheep, drinking wine in a big bowl, and talking about the joy of the world, whether people are like this, the higher the position, the less free they are." There was a hint of helplessness in Yang Ke's words.

Liu Yuan nodded: "I remember that brother, you once asked me, what are your ambitions, and my answer is that I am determined to be in the world, but now I feel that it is really a long way to go." Along the way, there are many more times when I am uncomfortable than when I am comfortable, and I often ask myself, what is so good about being a hero, being noble in front of people, and suffering behind my back, I knew that this was the case, it was better to be a herdsman on the grassland, and I would be more happy and happy. ”

Yang Ke laughed rarely, until he burst into tears, and finally stopped laughing: "Big brother, this is the happiest sentence I've ever heard in my life, being noble in front of people, suffering behind my back, what's so good about being a hero, what's so good about being a god, what's so good about being a god?" As he spoke, he poured a large glass of wine: "Big brother, for your heart-wrenching truth, we have made this glass." ”

Liu Yuan also laughed: "You are also a dignitary in front of people, and you are guilty behind your back?" If you don't call it brothers, we are a pair of difficult brothers, come, dry this cup. ”

Yu'er kept pouring wine and vegetables for them on the side, leaving the stone city, a simple small hotel, two men with the power of tens of millions of lives and deaths, they are not only former brothers, but also a pair of mortal enemies, under a lamp, just a few small dishes, there is not a word in the whole article to talk about military affairs and government affairs, you have a cup, I have a cup, drink happily, and point to the sky and the earth. She had never seen Yang Ke so carried away like today, and she couldn't imagine that Shan Yu, who commanded thousands of troops, would have so many disappointments. According to Yu'er's prior thoughts, they were supposed to come here to negotiate secretly, but as a result, these two people were like two children today, chatting about some whimsical and trivial topics, and finally got drunk.

When Yang Ke woke up from his sleep, he had a splitting headache, his throat and eyes were so dry that he was about to smoke, he struggled to get up, and a gentle voice sounded: "Childe is thirsty, right?" Yu'er handed over a glass of warm water at the right time. Yang Ke drank three cups in a row, wiped the corners of his mouth, and lay on the bed helplessly: "Yu'er, when did Shan Yu leave?" ”

"I left in the middle of the night, and I was drunk, but I could still walk, but I had to be helped by the guards." Yu'er said.

Yang Ke rubbed his swollen temples and asked, "Did you leave any messages?" ”

"Shan Yu let me tell you, you arrange a person to accompany you out of the city, and let your subordinates talk to him about the details, and when your brothers meet in the future, they will never talk about business, only drink and chat." Yu'er replied, she found that Yang Ke's face was as calm as water, without the slightest expression of surprise: "Childe, did you guess that Shan Yu would say these words?" ”

Yang Ke smiled: "Look at what you said, I'm not a fortune teller, I can pinch and calculate, but what I think in my heart is exactly the same as what Shan Yu thinks, in this world, we are all very lonely people, lonely people want to have a good friend, but that's too difficult, I finally met one, so we all cherish it." ”

Yu'er looked at Yang Ke thoughtfully, as if she didn't understand.

Yang Ke pointed to the outside of the room: "Yu'er, please go and pass it on, I want to go out of the city today with the person assigned by Shan Yu." ”
