Xie An was locked up in the Taoist temple in the mountains at this time, climbed the tower and overlooked, the vision crossed the dark forest, and the camp tents and horses could be seen in the distance.

The Taoist temple was built by Sima Zong after crossing the river, and it was naturally a secluded place for him, and Liu Sheng carried old injuries and new troubles, and the task of guarding Xie An was naturally given to him.

Sima Zong hated Xie Shang very much, he had been operating in Jiangzuo for many years and was secretly broken by Xie Shang with nameless rogue militia, Xi Jian turned a blind eye to the affairs of Sanwu in Jiangbei, and Liu Sheng's Luoxinglou was also harassed, and the people who killed and assassinated him were sent one after another.

Xie An, who was stuffed with walnuts, was very quiet at the moment, so quiet that Liu Sheng was a little uneasy.

All day, Xie An either sat cross-legged, or stood by the window admiring the mountains, calm and relaxed, but Liu Sheng couldn't bear it and helped him get the walnuts out.

"I'm not hungry." Xie An rinsed his mouth with tea and rubbed his cheeks, "Brother Shang also asked me to take medicine Bigu at least three days a month to cultivate my mind, but now that there is no medicine, then I will take Qi Bigu." ”

Liu Sheng said bitterly: "If you know where Xie Shang is hiding, it is best to say it, so as not to suffer." ”

"Why haven't you seen any movement in Lord Yu's camp?" Xie An was concerned about this matter, he found a chessboard in the room, and said to Liu Sheng, "Do you know how to play chess?" ”

Liu Sheng sat down helplessly, and as soon as he twisted his son, he listened to Xie An's words: "If your Zongwangfu plot succeeds, then he will not let me go, don't treat me as a child." ”

Xie An suddenly asked: "What does the north of Linhuai Shouchun look like now?" ”

He put the chess pieces on the board, a chess piece is a military town, although there is no map at hand, but the eyes are to the heart, the chessboard is Xinjiang, and the middle is the Yangtze River.

Shouchun is on the left, Linhuai is on the right, under Linhuai is Guangling, and southwest of Guangling is Jiankang.

To the left of Shouchun are Anfeng, Xiangyang, and Xinye.

This is the most important part of the current confrontation between the north and the south.

Further north is Luoyang.

If it is just a small riot, once Shi Jilong has the opportunity to take advantage of it, the peace of the Eastern Jin Dynasty can be regarded as over.

Xie An talked about the north, Liu Sheng has been coming and going to the border all these years, and the Guangling Qian family also has business connections in the north, compared with the leisure and elegance of Jiankang, they are two worlds.

"In recent years, the two Zhao have fought twice, and they can finally get a trace of peace." Yanagi was out of prison, and because he was sick, his irritable temper weakened, and he was able to speak softly.

"I was born in a family since I was a child, I have never seen the suffering of the people in the border city, nor have I ever lived a civilian life, but since I was taken away from Jiankang by Song Yi, what I have seen and heard along the way is indeed a rare experience.

Xie An placed chess pieces from important towns in the north on the side of the road, Yuzhou, Ruyin, Xiapi, Pengcheng, Yingchuan, Hanoi, Chenliu, Shangdang, Yecheng, Xiangguo......

Hedong, Pingyang, Chang'an, Fufeng, Longxi in the west.

In the end, he even snatched the chess pieces in Liu Sheng's hand, and the chessboard was full, and at the same time, Liu Sheng was dazzled.

"Is it your idea or Sima Zong's idea to help the Karma people?"

Liu Sheng doesn't know how many times he has heard this kind of question these days, but before Xie An was arrogantly outside the prison door, but at this time, Xie An, who was a prisoner, was still arrogant.

Liu Sheng was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke, "I didn't expect Shi Jilong to go south. ”

"Once the Wujun River is lost, you can send the Yu clan and take this opportunity to take over the military power?" Xie An sneered, "But in the end, General Xi was garrisoned in Jingkou." ”

"Wang Dun rebelled in front, and your Zong Wang Ye forgot his fate, the soldiers and horses in the hands of the Zong Wang Ye were less than one-tenth of the generals at that time.

"Supporting the army and rebelling is never the right way, if it is not the right way, the sky will die!"

The young Qingyin was solemn and majestic, and Liu Sheng wanted to refute him, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

If Sima Zong was here, there would definitely be a hundred words to refute, but at this time, Sima Zong's men and horses were walking on the wet mountain road after the autumn rain died.

Tingwei Prison was robbed, the source of the robber is unknown, Xie An was lost, Sima Yan was furious, Huan Wen was slightly injured, and said that the person who robbed the prison was the palace of the king.

Sima Zong is now outside the city, and only a few subordinates have come forward to argue, but they didn't think that in the imperial history, Cheng Zhongya wrote that Sima Zong, the king of Nanton, intended to rebel, and it was also related to the death of the first emperor.

At the same time, Yu Liang, who was originally outside the city, suddenly pulled out his army and returned, and actually brought back Song Yuan, who made the Empress Dowager Yu hate.

Song Yuan re-entered Taicheng, hood and black clothes, the delicate charm of the past converged in the dust brigade, above the court, she said that she was instructed by Sima Zong to assassinate the first emperor.

Zhong Ya had all the evidence and handwriting from Situ Wangdao, and together with Song Yuan's testimony, Xie Shang's innocent reputation was returned in a blink of an eye.

In just one day, the situation in Jiankang City changed several times, Yu Liang guarded the capital, on the one hand, he ordered people to surround the Zongwang Mansion, and on the other hand, he sent the right guard general Zhao Yin out of the city to arrest Sima Zong.

All the changes started when Sima Zong went out of the city to kill Yu Liang, but Yu Liang took another way back, and the two missed it fatefully, and when Sima Zong came to Yu Liang's military tent with the distant bell of the Buddhist temple, he saw that there was no campfire in the tent, only a glimmer of light was burning in the main tent, and the sound of the piano came suddenly.

The melody is light and smooth, like winter snow melted by the warm sun, and the vitality is suddenly rising, and it is ready to burst.

This song must not be Yu Liang's good, Sima Zong was uneasy, and led people to break into the account, and there was only one person in front of the case under the lamp.

"Lord Yu is not here." The man seemed to be smiling, he stopped pressing the strings, a sword was pulled out from the bottom of the piano, and he said to Sima Zong in a rather regretful tone, "Early in the morning, he knew that Song Yi had entered the city, so he naturally led the troops away." ”

"You call him Song Yi?" Sima Zong asked in a deep voice, "So, you are Xie Renzu?" ”

The man did not answer him, but his white clothes were dusty and dusty, his face was hidden in the shadows of the flickering candlelight, and the wind from the mountains sounded like a beast outside the tent.

After the rain, the man's clothes were thin, but his shoulders were erect, and he was carrying the grace and flutter of green mountains and beautiful trees.

There is only one person, and Sima Zong has a lot of people, but at this time, he can't see the slightest fear and retreat, "I haven't seen the prince of Zong for a long time, and I also saw you holding a sword when I was a teenager, but I didn't expect to capture you with a sword, it's a pity." ”

Sima Zong was also calm, "Your precious brother is in the hands of this king." ”

"I heard." Xie Shang smiled lightly, "That's why I'm here." ”

……

……

Hearing the sound of birds chirping and fluttering feathers in the mountains from afar, Xie An woke up in a light sleep, he ran to the window, only to see that in the reckless night, a torch was lit by the river like a dragon and a snake, and the horseshoe shoal, the whip sound was clear, and the echo in the empty mountain was endless.

Yanagi then woke up, but he had a low-grade fever, which made him a little sluggish.

"There are three faces, do you guess if it is your sect lord who is surrounded?" Xie An glanced at Liu Sheng coldly, and his hand stopped above his ear tragus like lightning.

Liu Sheng shivered, and listened to Xie An: "I can use a needle, but you dare not tie me, Chengying and you are underestimating me?" ”

The ear acupoint is one of the dead points, Xie An can only apply needles because of his height, Liu Sheng didn't have time to dodge, he was disturbed by a tingling tinnitus, he wanted to twist Xie An, but he didn't think about receiving a strong punch from the young man.

No matter how weak Liu Sheng is, he is also a long-fighting Jianghu person, and he was plotted by Xie An two times in succession, but he was still stable, and he endured the tinnitus and twisted Xie An's hand after two or three times.

"I'm going to guard against you." Liu Sheng couldn't help but sneer, "If I hadn't been tortured by you for a few days, I would have really been deceived by your pure appearance, not tying you is a pity for your hands, not only writing a good hand, but also acupuncture and moxibustion skills, the prince of the sect appreciates you a lot, but it's a pity that you were born late." ”

"It's because he is in too much of a hurry, and he wants to ascend to the throne, but he doesn't know that he doesn't have this life at all!"

Xie An saw that he was very light, so he hurriedly pulled out and jumped away, but Liu Sheng didn't catch him again, sighed and said, "You want to go, I'll take you away." ”

Xie An looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Liu Sheng rubbed his ears and said lightly: "If something happens to the prince of the sect as you said, I will naturally protect him, if he is fine, I can also help him, as for you, I will throw you down halfway, and I will find my way home, right?" ”

Liu Sheng took him on the horse and galloped down the mountain, the birdsong mountain was more secluded, and the mountain was not only the birdsong at this time, but also the mountain did not know how many mountain beasts were scared away.

Approaching the river, Liu Sheng really threw Xie An off the horse, "Thank you for a bowl of medicine, and you will be responsible for life and death from now on." ”

The shallow reeds paved the river, after a few days of rain, the river is unusually turbulent, if there are no horses, you can't cross the river, and you have to take great danger if you swim over.

Liu Sheng rode his horse across the river and went to the hustle and bustle, Xie An stood on the riverside, smiling in the wind.

Looking across the river is not as good as overlooking on the top of the mountain, Xie An wants to detour along the river to cross the river, but he has never been here, he only recognizes that the river is the north, and he can return to Jiankang along the north road all the way.

Xie An took out the Xun that had been hidden in his arms for a long time, and blew it immediately, hoping that someone would hear Xun Qu and find him.

This Xun palm-sized, pottery, has verses written by Wang Xizhi in fly-headed small letters.

When the sky was getting brighter, the shore was full of autumn dances, and the noise had gradually faded, Xie An walked for half the night, and the corners of his robe were already soaked with water.

The morning sun only flashed in the clouds for a moment, and was isolated by layers of clouds, the sky was still dark, Xie An saw that the detour was not a way after all, it was better to fight and swim across the shore.

The river of this flood is more terrible than the calm sea, only wading a few feet, he felt that the center of gravity is unstable, the strength is not enough, and he can not swim rashly, when he is about to retreat to the shore, he sees a person and a horse crossing the river on the opposite bank, Xie An raised his eyes and looked, only to see the soldiers and horses on the opposite bank standing together, no banner to show up, can not see which soldiers and horses are coming.

It's just that the person who crossed the river looked a little familiar from a distance, but he couldn't see his face clearly while wearing a hat.

Xie An didn't move, waited for the man to get closer, took off the hat, grinned at him, reached out and scooped him onto the horse.

Behind the two of them is the blue and blue river, the river once separated the two, and now the water flows eastward, riding a horse like lightning, he finally came back with him.

"Go back to Jiankang!"

Xie Shangyang whipped the horse, Xie An only felt that the shadow of the mountain and the shadow of the forest disappeared behind him, the dust on this road was like a flower, the yellow leaves of the beginning of the withering fell in the shallow pit, the horse's hooves stepped on, the water leaves splashed, and the sound was as pleasant as the sound of heaven.

……

……

Xie Shang was not in a hurry to take him back to Jiankang, after the two left Tianque Mountain, they went to Shizigang where Xie Kun was buried.

Xie Shang's face was full of exhaustion, "I also saw crows on the day of Shogunate Mountain, and then I was assassinated, which doesn't seem to be a good sign." ”

Xie An smiled and beckoned to the red crow, the red crow shrank his wings, and saw the Xun in his hand again, helplessly looking at Wang Xizhi's face and landing on Xie An's arm.

"It's a red crow, and the god stick says it's a good sign."

Xie Shang stood in front of his father's grave for a while, then took Xie An's hand and said, "Go back, after you go back, you will have an account to account, and you will take revenge."

"Sima Zong just ran away like this, it's a pity." Xie An sighed, "If Brother Shang can catch him, this credit will be even greater." ”

Xie Shang was used as a bait in the tent at the time, and his soldiers and horses were ambushed in the camp, but it was a pity that Zhao Yin, who was sent by Yu Liang, wanted to rob the merit, and the three parties would naturally be chaotic when they got together, and Sima Zong had a master around him, and finally escaped from the encirclement, Zhao Yin was ordered to continue the pursuit, Xie Shang thought of Xie An, searched all over the mountain, and followed the sound of Xun to find his younger brother.

"What is the name of the soldiers and horses brought by Brother Shang?"

Xie An saw that the sergeants he brought were not wearing armor, and they were wearing black clothes and hats, but they were more like Jianghu guests.

"I haven't thought about it yet, these brothers are all homeless people recruited near Jingkou, and they have been with me for more than half a year." Xie Shang thought about it, "It's better for Ahri to think about it for me." ”

Xie An smiled: "Where will they be compiled in the future?" I don't think Lord Situ will dare you transfer out of Jiankang and let you go out to lead the troops, otherwise he won't be so cheeky to face our Xie family. ”

Xie Shang wrote lightly: "Probably will stay in Jiankang, or the shogunate, the scholar clan can't have private soldiers now, so he can't make a name, so he can only be wronged and wronged to be my Xie family servant temporarily." ”

"Nearly 100 people...... Servant, this is too much to afford just to eat and drink. Xie An sighed, "If Aunt Jiao knows, she will definitely make a fuss." ”

"I've heard you've made a lot of money." Xie Shang is outside, but he knows everything about Jiankang, thanks to the regular news from the network of the Situ Shogunate, Xie An has been clear about everything he has done since he returned to Jiankang, "When you grow up, you will visit the Trick House, have the courage to visit the palace at night, and you can go to prison on behalf of your father, and bet with the Empress Dowager Yu with my innocence. ”

Xie Shangming praised him, but his words were slightly sharp, and even his smile was gone.

Xie An was speechless, and hurriedly said: "I promise not to make any more risks." ”

"You'll count your business when you get home." The corners of Xie Shang's lips raised slightly, and he said leisurely, "Have you ever thought of the name that you wanted?" ”

Xie An was stunned, and his heart moved, "Jingkou is also known as Beifu, why don't you call it Beifu Bing?" ”

Xie Shang pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "It's a little vulgar, it's not as loud as the Xuanwu Vermilion Bird, but it's not the ...... of Beifu The word 'north' in the name is a good sign, in the future, my Jin people are going to fight back to Jiangbei, if I have the opportunity, when the shogunate opens, I will take these brothers back to the north. ”

Xie An listened to Xie Shang's gentle words, and his heart was stirred, although the two brothers had never discussed the Northern Expedition, they had already had a clear idea.

Xie An praised: "The name of Beifu should be so!" ”
