Chapter 2 IKEA IKEA
Qiu Shan of the Two Lakes Gang said: "The horse gang has often used goods at night recently, and they always have to hold back for a period of time in Funiu Mountain, which is indeed suspicious. ”
Jinyang County is now mainly focused on Jing County, and would rather see the local power of Shangnan grow than see the power of the Xun family grow. Although the eldest prince and Xu Ruyu have a personal holiday, it is a matter of Jinyang's plan, so he has to help Ma Gang, and Xun Zhuwu cannot be allowed to succeed.
Luo Cheng said: "If the Ma Gang really colludes with Xiangfan, if you want to come to the Ma Gang, you can't escape from the palm of the Xun family. As far as I know, General Qingfeng led the caravan of the horse gang to travel on the official road in southern Henan for five days, and did not see the Xun family ask about the responsibility for the collusion between the horse gang and the Xiangfan Society. But listening to what General Zhang said just now, it seems that the Xun family has long had evidence of collusion between the Ma Gang and the Xiangfan Society, why do they still condone the Ma Gang until now? Could it be that Hou Ye wanted to expel all the forces of the Ma Gang to Shangnan Town, and then let the 20,000 elite foot soldiers of the Xun family hiding in Bears Ears Mountain go to Shangnan Town to quell the rebellion? ”
Xun Jie's face was pale, and he was full of clever tricks and flaws. Originally, I thought that the Ma Gang would panic under the pressure of exterminating the gang and evacuate to Shangnan Town desperately, but I thought that the Ma Gang, with the help of Xu Ruyu, slowly made a plan and involved all the forces in Shangnan. Isn't he afraid that Huo Qingtong will recapture Jiang Youli from him?
Everyone looked at the look on Xun Jie's face, and their thoughts were different. Luo Cheng's words undoubtedly exposed the Xun family's intentions to plot Shangnan, not to refute it, not to refute it, but not to refute it, Xun Jie's 20,000 elite foot soldiers in Bears Ears Mountain disappeared out of thin air; Now it seems that the Huo family is in Yunxi City, and the Fu family is ready in Longzhong City, but seeing the Ma Gang calmly retreating to Shangnan like this, when will the resentment in his heart disappear?
Zhang Xuyang said: "Xunhou's secret elite soldiers want to wipe out the horse gang and the Xiangfan Society in the mountains, so they didn't alarm the horse gang too early. ”
Xun Zhuwu couldn't wait to make a voice to tell him to shut his mouth, but it was good that he didn't make a sound, and as soon as he made a sound, everyone's attention was drawn to the Xun family. Sure enough, Fu Xian snorted coldly, his voice was already extremely stern, and said: "Dare to ask Master Hou, is Funiu Mountain in the territory of my Fu family, or in the territory of your Xun family." The news that Xiangfan will be entrenched in Funiu Mountain does not inform my Fu family, but it is okay, and now I want to send troops to secretly enter the country to suppress bandits from my Fu family, but I don't put my Fu in my eyes? ”
If the governor of Xun Candle Wuqing does not turn around, it is possible that the Huo family and the Fu family will join forces to expel the Xun family from Shangnan, and said: "The Xiangfan congregation secretly gathered on the south slope of the main peak of Laojun Mountain in Funiu Mountain, and my Xun family only knew about it for ten days, at that time there were elite soldiers of the Fu family stationed in Longzhong in the southeast, and there were elite soldiers of the Huo family stationed in Yunxi in the southwest, but I Luanchuan was the closest to the bandits but there were no elite soldiers. If my Xun family really wants to seek business in the south, they will only double the road, where will they take the Bears Ears Mountain Road? If the Luo family and Sect Master Fu can understand the painstaking efforts of my Xun family, they should sit down and discuss together to exterminate the mountain bandits. ”
Zhang Xuyang echoed: "Yes, Xiangfan will be the common enemy of the Jiangbei family, how can we be provoked by them?" ”
Fu Xian said angrily: "Xiangfan will be a common enemy, but your Zhang family is my old hatred of Nanyang." Ignoring Zhang Xuyang's vicious gaze in his eyes, he said to Xun Zhuwu: "This matter is important, Fu Xian can't do it, the head of the family is now in Longzhong City, if you think that you can talk about the head of the family with this alone, please go to Longzhong in person." ”
Luo Cheng also said: "The matter of the Xiangfan Association has been discussed by all the families in Jiangbei, and they have rejected and driven it away, but they have not assisted you in the responsibility of the Xun family to exterminate it." If the Xun family has a better suggestion, please go to Yunxi City in person to explain to the eldest prince that if there is no understanding between the two parties, the Xun family will act across the line without authorization, and my Huo family will regard it as the Xun family taking the initiative to provoke a war. ”
Xun Zhuwu sighed secretly, knowing that the matter had come to this, the Xun family had to take a step back, let go of the horse gang, and looked at Weiyuan Hou Xun Jie, to see what he decided. Xun Jie is not a person who does not know the general situation, but he was manipulated by Xu Ruyu to such a point, and the hatred in his heart is hard to eliminate. Ignoring everyone's suspicions, Xun Zhuwu came to Xun Zhuwu and said: "Shangnan is not profitable, but it is also necessary to leave the horse gang, you have made up your mind, and I will bear it on the second brother's side." ”
Xun Zhuwu was stunned when he heard this, and no one else knew what Xun Jie said to him in front of everyone, with different expressions on his face. Xun Zhuwu said: "This matter my Xun family has not considered, Hou Ye wants to personally explain to the Fu family master, Huo Shizi, and conspire to suppress the bandits, Fu Sect Master, Luo Dangjia can be the rumor, eight days later, the three families each led 2,000 elite soldiers into Shangnan to discuss major matters." ”
If you only look for trouble between Xiangfan and Xu Ruyu, what will be the attitude of the eldest prince? Luo Cheng couldn't make up his mind for a while, hugged his fists and said: "This matter needs to be consulted by the eldest prince, and Luo Mouren can't answer now." ”
Xun Candle Wu smiled: "This Candle Wu understands. ”
Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "The Xun family's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry and the Huo family's Mingguang Elite Cavalry live together among the 'Top Ten Elite Soldiers in the World', and they are really eye-opening when they see each other at the same time. ”
Luo Cheng heard Xu Ruyu's words, his face changed slightly, the eldest prince rushed to Yunxi from Huailai, and there were only more than 400 elite cavalry with him, if he gathered 2,000 people from the guards, the combat power was very different from the Xun family's 2,000 elite cavalry, and he almost fell on Xun Zhuwu's trap again. Looking at Xun Zhuwu's eyes, he suddenly became gloomy.
Xun Zhuwu was aggrieved in his heart, he didn't want Xu Ruyu to be so sharp-minded, and he grabbed a loophole in his words to fight back, which made Luo Cheng worried, and said to him: "General Qingfeng really lives up to his reputation, in General Qingfeng's opinion, how many elite soldiers can each of the three families send to wipe out Xiangfan in the mountains in one fell swoop?" ”
Xu Ruyu smiled: "My false name is because everyone in the East China Sea loves Ruyu. Presumably everyone has heard of it, I have a good private relationship with Shao Haitang and Xu Jingcheng of the Xiangfan Society, although the private convenience is not harmful to the righteousness, but let Ru Yu talk about the extermination of the Xiangfan Society here, and I am uneasy in my heart. ”
Xun Zhuwu didn't want Xu Ruyu to generously admit his relationship with Shao Haitang and Xu Jingcheng, but it was not good to use this matter to squeeze his relationship with the Xiangfan Society, how high-sounding his words were: it is advisable to be private and not harmful, and the relationship between the Ma Gang and the Xiangfan Association will also be removed by a few points.
Xun Zhuwu looked at Luo Cheng: "What suggestions does Master Luo have?" ”
Of course, Luo Cheng didn't want to leak the Huo family's military strength in Yunxi City, his expression quickly calmed down, and he said lightly: "The Fu family is the landlord of Shangnan, how dare someone Luo go beyond the bounds, and let the Fu sect master decide." ”
Fu Xian laughed and said: "The temple can't accommodate too many Bodhisattvas, and two thousand is not too much, but the horses are huge, why don't all families bring foot soldiers?" ”
Luo Cheng said with a smile: "Sect Master Fu is afraid that the war horses of which family will drown everywhere and dirty the environment of Shangnan, right?" Since the landlord said so, I will repay the eldest prince in this way, whether it can be done or not, it is up to the eldest prince to decide. ”
After all, Funiu Mountain is at the junction of the three families, and it is inconvenient for each of their families to intervene, so after the discussion, the forces of various factions in Shangnan left behind to supervise the withdrawal of the Xun family, and they all left one after another. Xu Ruyu, Xu Boying, and Xu Ji responded to a total of more than 300 people, and they took the initiative to ask for the post. In Miaozi Town, the Xun family failed to confirm the charge of collusion between the Ma Gang and the Xiangfan Society, so they were naturally not afraid of the Xun family's difficulties at this time.
The pass of Funiu Mountain is more than 20 miles long, is composed of six canyons of different lengths, it is said that the canyon is not a flat gorge, but compared with the steep mountains of other mountains, it is low and gentle, and it can barely allow the double carriage to drive through, and it has become an important land passage connecting Fen County and Yongning County and Jinyang County.
At this time, the autumn color will be deep, and the mountain maples between the gorges are like fire, and the clusters are gorgeous and abnormal. The mountain wind passes through the forest, and it sings like an insect. The leaves fell, Xu Ruyu casually picked up a leaf that fell on his shoulder, saw that the leaf veins were still moist as new, and the leaf color was golden, and he thought: A leaf knows autumn, and it is hidden in winter. If you don't come to the mountains with Youli, this scenery will be depressed.
Xu Tingyi saw Xu Ruyu riding his horse at will, thoughtfully, and asked, "Ruyu is worried about the situation in Shangnan, right?" ”
Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "Oh, the situation in Shangnan is getting more and more complicated, which is worrying." ”
Xu Boying said: "Fu Xian helped my horse gang, I can still understand, but Luo Cheng also spared no effort to excuse my horse gang, I don't understand." Fortunately, Fu Xian and Luo Cheng are inclined to us, otherwise it would be much more difficult to suffer in Shangnan. ”
Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "Luo Cheng is loyal to the Huo family, not Huo Qingtong, and of course he thinks about the interests of the Huo family. The Huo family's more than ten troops were wrapped up in Jing County, and they really didn't have the energy to take care of Shangnan's affairs. And the important land in Shangnan is where the weakness of Jinyang lies, the weakness falls into the hands of the Fu family, and it is harmless for the time being. The caravan's surrender to the Fu family was the ending he wanted to see the most. ”
In terms of understanding the situation in the world, Xu Ruyu is one of the few people who can see the overall situation, Xu Boying is ultimately limited to the help of the horse gang, and his accurate grasp of the situation cannot be compared with Xu Ruyu. But he was thoughtful, and he was able to handle the affairs of his hands with great skill.
Xu Ruyu talked with Xu Boying, Xu Ji and his entourage, a hundred miles away, everyone rode horses for five hours, and when they arrived in Shangnan Town, it was already dawn.
Xu Ruyu saw that Youli's eyes were slightly bloodshot, and knew that she had left Shangnan Qi, she must not have been able to feel at ease, and she felt pity in her heart, jumped off the horse, and carried her soft wattle. Under the light of the snow, Youli saw that Xu Ruyu did not avoid others and took her hand directly, her face was blushing, and she was hoping that he could do this, so she secretly gently pinched Xu Ruyu's palm to let him know how much she missed him.
Xu Ruyu saw that the Ma Gang did not need his intervention in the chores, so he looked for an opportunity to say goodbye to Xu Ji and others, and led Youli, Jue'er, and his uncle and grandson Fangwu to return to Yuanju Tower. Shao Ruyan was already sleepy, so she asked the female dependents of the horse gang to lead her to wash and rest.
Xu Tingyi arranged a separate courtyard for Xu Ruyu and the five of them in the backyard of Yuanju Building, and when Xu Ruyu and the others returned to the courtyard, the sky was slightly open. You Li didn't want to be separated from him and rest, so he asked him to tell her in detail about the events of the seven days in the side hall.
Uncle Sun said with a smile: "Ru Yu and Youli have passed the great gift of heaven and earth, and Youli has also coiled a snail, and now he is still sleeping in separate rooms, so that outsiders don't know what is going on." Ru Yu take Youli back to the room to rest now, you left Qiyue, she didn't have a moment to calm down. ”
When Xu Ruyu heard this, he immediately became unnatural, and looked down at Youli. Youli's face flushed, Qiushui's eyes glanced at Ru Yu, and his head hung deep in his chest, not having the courage to look at him again.
Xu Ruyu felt a panic in his heart, and the irrepressible joy immediately overflowed, and he took Youli's hot and humid hands, and he didn't know what to say, "sigh", picked up Youli's tender waist, hugged the whirlwind in his arms and left the side hall and returned to the room.
Youli's breath gradually became chaotic, and when he saw Ru Yuyin's lips, he sighed, and his arms were wrapped around Xu Ruyu's neck like the mangrove. Xu Ruyu said in a low voice: "When I leave Qiyue, I miss you more than I did in that year." "When you go there in the future, you will take me with you, I thought that we would be separated for a few days, but it felt so long to think of it. The sound of the piano was messed up, which made Jue'er laugh to death. Ru Yu looked at her bright and misty eyes, looked at her shy expression, hid a little playfulness, and pressed the chin of the newborn mustache against her smooth cheeks, feeling her warm scent of fragrant orchids. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, Lai. "Me too." Xu Ruyu brought a quilt and wrapped him and Youli in it.
Xu Ruyu woke up with his eyes open, Youli's warm breath hit his chest, looked at her long eyelashes, stood up to touch it, I don't know what she was dreaming, her eyes squirmed twice, the powder was more close, the futon opened the gap, Xu Ruyu reached over, tucked the corners of the quilt, saw Youli also woke up with her eyes open, and asked her: "Sleep so soundly." ”
Youli's cheeks were red, and he hugged Xu Ruyu with his arms open, and hid the head of the mantis in his chest. Xu Ruyu's hands retracted into the quilt, and his hands wrapped around Youli's smooth body under the futon. Each can feel the other's gradually hot body and gradually confused aura.
Xu Ruyu practiced the sword for a while, and when he saw Youli get up and walk out of the house, he hurriedly went over to help her, and said, "You are inconvenient, so you have to move around these days." Youli blushed and spat him, and said in a very low voice: "It's all because you don't know how to pity others." ”
Xu Ruyu smiled and said, "Uncle and Aunt Uncle and Aunt will go out in the morning, and I will let Jue'er bring you porridge, you can watch me dance the sword." ”
Youli's face was flushed, and his face was extremely gentle. Ripples rippled in your fool's heart.
The long sword was slanted, and the ginkgo biloba leaves fell one by one, slashing across the blade.
Since the interpretation of the ancient practice of breathing boxing in the independent courtyard of Yongyang City, the taste of the Tao and the beautiful spiritual experience have been tasted and unforgettable. In fact, at that time, Fu Weichen sought the way to escape, and Xu Ruyu's heart was deeply entangled at that time. The imprints of Gu Lian Xiquan, Piao Xiang Sword, Amazing Divine Technique, Biluo Jue, Buyun Technique, etc. in his heart are already extremely faint, Xu Ruyu seems to know that when everything is gone, it is the last way to escape, and the throbbing of the indescribably beautiful soul almost let him let everything go with Master Fu. deviated from the first line, or could not touch the endless vitality. Xu Ruyu felt that he had no motivation to move forward. The death of his father was a lifelong struggle for others and self-destruction; The father-in-law slaughtered Yingye, and finally led himself to kill himself and destroy himself for righteousness. Xu Ruyu understands that his father's righteousness to destroy himself is the righteousness of the common people, and where is this righteousness of the common people hidden, Xu Ruyu is unpredictable. Master Fu deduced the "Great Dao Zedang" for him, and at that moment, he tasted the infinite vitality in the Great Dao. Suddenly I realized that the righteousness of the common people is hidden in the living beings, just as Master Fu said: If you don't enter the red dust, you can get the red dust, and without the help of external wisdom and vitality, you will never be able to reach the maturity and mastery of the ego. At that moment, Xu Ruyu no longer deliberately avoided the world. In the river, I feel that my breath and nature are integrated, in the woods, mountain roads, I feel the friendly breath of nature, in the crowd, I feel the endless vitality, at that moment Xu Ruyu no longer deliberately cultivates, only knows to let himself dissolve into this living world, no matter how chaotic he is, he only knows to let the earthly current push him forward, not jump out and escape. After meeting Youli, it triggered the desires of ordinary people, sleepy and hungry. The surname affair between Ling Chen and Youli made his heart suddenly open-minded, and the endless vitality was also hidden in the beautiful experience.
The autumn wind is in full bloom, the floating leaves are falling non-stop, a few pieces are stuck to the blade of the sword, and they want to fall without falling, just when the leaves fall, the sword suddenly moves, and the smart sword and the floating leaves that continue to fall dissolve into one. The leaves were still in no hurry, and each sword was slashed in the space where the leaves fell.
At this moment, Xu Ruyu completely dissolved the anger of the fragrant sword intent. Xu Ruyu returned the sword into the sheath, and Youli took out a champa to wipe the sweat on his forehead for him, and said: "You also said that you are a master, and after practicing the sword for a while, your head is covered with sweat." ”
Xu Ruyu wrapped his backhand around Youli's body, pressed her ear sideburns, and said, "From that moment in the morning, I knew the joy of being an ordinary man. I still have your sweat on me. Youli Ergen was hot, and he couldn't afford to push him away, and his hands gently twisted Ruyu's back muscles, and whispered, "Jue'er is coming in." Xu Ruyu let go of his hand, Youli was reluctant to leave his embrace, hesitated for a moment, and was hugged by Xu Ruyu again, hugging Ruyu's forehead where he felt his coarse hot breath, and couldn't help but raise his head, eager to rub himself into his body.
"Phew, phew, phew, I'm going to have eye sores now."
Youli's confused feelings quickly faded, and he hurriedly broke away from Ru Yu's embrace, and looked at Jue'er with a flushed face. Xu Ruyu said: "Ah, Jue'er is here with porridge, and I am hungry." "Go, go, go, this is for Sister Youli, Fu Xian posted here, please go to Fujiabao for a banquet, Uncle Sun asked me to ask you how to go back."
Xu Ruyu saw that Youli's face was tender, and naturally he didn't want to be seen by others because he was not doing good because of that matter, so he said: "You let Uncle Sun go back to his house, saying that I am in retreat and cultivation today, and I will only be able to get out of the customs in a few days." Jue'er said with a disdainful face: "The king has never been in court early, I didn't expect you to be like this." ”
Youli pulled her over, and then whispered in her ear, Jue'er blushed when she heard this, glanced at Xu Ruyu, was distracted for a while, and said again and again: "What do you tell me about this, if you don't go out, you won't go out." With that, it slipped away like smoke.
Youli said: "Jue'er is also a piece of affection for you, I have been sisters with her since childhood, sleeping and eating together, and then there is one more you, you think it is better to take her into the room......"
Xu Ruyu drew a circle on his chest and said softly: "My heart is so big, I can accommodate you, it is already full, and it is about to overflow." Youli was drunk, so he didn't say anything.
In the next few days, countless people who came to visit Xu Ruyu or invited Xu Ruyu to the banquet were all stopped by his uncle and grandson Fang Wu. Xu Ruyu hid in the courtyard every time she was reading, and sometimes she saw Youli struggling to draw her eyebrows in front of the bronze mirror, so she put down the book in her hand and drew her eyebrows. Xu Ruyu grabbed Jue'er and asked her to go to the courtyard to practice martial arts with Ruyan. Ruyan said that she had come and got along well with Youli and Jue'er, and her surname Suo came over. Xu Boying and Xu Duanguo will come to the courtyard in the afternoon when they have nothing to do, Xu Boying and Xu Ruyu talk about the art of the world, discuss the customs of various places, the two of them talk about Feng Jian and have their own views on the world, the same but the same, often both of them forget the time, until it is dark and need to hold a candle to be aware.
