Chapter 9 Talking on Paper

The track of the car passed away, the sound of hooves faded away, and Qin Zhongshu was stunned by the blur of the night. Xu Ruyu pushed him a few times, only to see him come back to his senses, and said with a smile: "In front of Hua Xiuyan, you can gather lust and pretend to be an ang man." Now you only need to treat a set of clothes and drive a carriage, and you can follow the Xiuyan girl you think about every day in the future. ”

Qin Zhongshu sighed, without words, turned around and walked around.

With a bag of money, in terms of everything, the three of them changed their neat outfits in the early morning and rushed to Zuiyang Building in a carriage. After reporting Hua Xiuyan's name to the guy downstairs, he knew that she had already ordered him to come down, and the guy led the three of them to a small courtyard in the back house.

Seeing the smoke of flowers standing against the flowers and trees in the cold morning light, Xu Ruyu's eyes couldn't help but light up. Under the sparse branches of the flowers and trees, the thin flower Xiuyan is particularly weak, and there is no need to hide it, naturally revealing the appearance of a color and soul.

Xu Ruyu's appearance is also handsome, but he has changed into an old brown robe, his belt is loosely tied, his back is rickety, his crown hair is messy, and his eyes are constantly wandering on Hua Xiuyan and the beautiful girl, quite obscene and ambiguous, standing with Qin Zhongshu who is wearing a light green silk robe and wearing a high blue crown, he is immediately dwarfed, it is Brother Feng who looks rough, and his appearance is more dignified than him.

Hua Xiuyan's brows furrowed slightly, and the moment she looked at Qin Zhongshu, it was very natural and relaxed, making people feel like a spring breeze. Xu Ruyu was amazed at what he saw. Although the appearance was disguised, he didn't dare to conclude that Hua Xiuyan and the man named Yan Lao couldn't see the flaws. Secretly: I only want to see Hua Xiuyan is only interested in Qin Zhongshu, don't cast your eyes on him.

Hua Xiuyan showed disgust, Xu Ruyu knew and was interested in having a warm relationship with the beautiful girl, and also learned from Hua Xiuyan to call her "Ruier Ruier". The Northern Tang Dynasty was full of thieves, but Hua Xiuyan was not afraid of the chaos outside the city, and everyone drank morning tea, so they took their horses and rushed out of the city.

Hua Xiuyan and Hua Ruier took a carriage, the old man named Yanlang drove, and Xu Ruyu, Qin Zhongshu, and Feng Ge'er took a carriage. Feng Ge'er was in the car, sitting on the left side of the car, Qin Zhongshu wanted to talk to Hua Xiuyan, sitting on the right side of the car, Xu Ruyu had to bend down and squat behind the two, and he didn't want to hide in the carriage and miss the opportunity to get close to the beauty. Qin Zhongshu and Hua Xiuyan couldn't plug in their words, so they talked to Rui'er, Rui'er also promised him at the beginning, Xu Ruyu became more and more arrogant, salivating, saying some fragrant allusions, and squinting his eyes at Rui'er, revealing the true face of all scholars with dirty thoughts. Rui'er hindered Hua Xiuyan's face, and it was inconvenient to have a seizure, and her beautiful face was blue and white for a while, and then Suo surnamed Suo hid behind the car curtain.

Xu Ruyu interjected a conversation between Qin Zhongshu and Hua Xiuyan, but the two of them ignored him and didn't answer his words, and he didn't think it was very interesting, so he dodged back, rolled into the carriage, and sang in his mouth: "There is a new Taiwan, and the river is muddy."

The request of grace is not new.

Xintai is sprinkled, and the river is muddy.

The request of the grace is not destroyed.

The setting of the fishing net, the Hong is separated.

Yan Wan's request was given by this Qi. ”

Brother Feng shouted outside: "Li San, what are you singing, I can't understand a word?" ”

Xu Ruyu didn't answer in the carriage, and continued to sing: "Xintai is dazzling, the waves of the river are long, and the beautiful hope is what you get, but what you get is a toad, and Xintai is towering; The waves of the river are rippling, and the beautiful hope is obtained, but what is obtained is a toad; The fishing net is newly knotted, Feihong is far away, and the beautiful hope is only a toad. ”

Hua Xiuyan and Qin Zhongshu laughed together, Feng Ge'er still didn't understand the meaning of the song, and only heard Hua Rui'er stomping and scolding in the carriage.

The North Tang City is surrounded by mountains on all sides, it is a basin, the mouth of the west is flat, the two carriages first go west, cross the mountain in front of the temple, and then go south along the snow field at the west foot of the West Mountain, and then turn into the east, go three or four days, in fact, it is only fifty or sixty miles straight from the North Tang City. Xu Ruyu teased Rui'er every time she was amused, and she avoided the carriage when she was about to have a seizure.

Although Xu Ruyu didn't know the details outside the city in the city, he also knew that Li Sixun couldn't let go of himself so easily, the mountains and fields outside the Northern Tang City must be full of good hands searching for him, and the Wandering People's Army has been making trouble recently.

The carriage crossed the east pass and left the Northern Tang Dynasty, although the road was rougher, but it only took a day, so tortuous and detoured, to the steep place, everyone often got off the car, drank and enjoyed the scenery, but it was like a scholar and a beautiful woman driving for an outing.

The world is chaotic, the scholars are all proud of being able to talk about the army, Qin Zhongshu is no exception, Qin Zhongshu has the intention to show off in front of Hua Xiuyan, pointing out the mountains and rivers, which place is good for ambushing soldiers, which place is good for charging, where is good for encirclement, and where is the place of birth, death, handover, and floating land written in the book of war, and the terrain of the Northern Tang Dynasty is explained at a glance.

Hua Xiuyan seems to be interested in comparing Qin Zhongshu, the later it is, the more dangerous the place where the carriage goes, and the more Xu Ruyu is later, the more shocked he is in his heart. Rui'er also gathered around and asked: "Listening to Gongzi Qin's tone, if you lead the troops to attack in the Northern Tang Dynasty, it will be easy to get something out of your pocket?" ”

Qin Zhongshu was slightly stunned, startled by Rui'er's question, and glanced at Hua Xiuyan, but saw her bright eyes looking at her expectantly looking at herself, her heart was hot, and she said, "Of course." ”

Rui'er laughed out loud and said: "Rui'er hasn't read any books, but she also knows that the Northern Tang Dynasty has been around for thousands of years since the founding of the city, but it has never been captured. ”

Xu Ruyu hid between the carriages and said casually: "The battle of Hulan's southern invasion and siege of the Northern Tang Dynasty a hundred years ago was the most tragic. In history, Jia Wei, the king of Hulan, personally braved the arrows and stones to supervise the battle, and bombarded the city wall with heavy stone-throwing crossbows at night, so that the city wall was scarred, and there was almost no complete moat at the head of the city. Tens of thousands of crossbowmen lined up under the city, and during the tenth month, they shot at the city day and night, and the arrows rained down like locusts, covering the sky and avoiding the sky, pressing towards the Northern Tang Dynasty. The head of the city gathers feathers, so that the new arrows have nowhere to insert, more arrows fly over the city, shoot into the city, the old rules have been recovered from the hands of the people with ten dollars, and more than 100,000 sharp arrows are obtained by spending 10,000 gold. The southern invasion of Hulan, in a few years, trapped in the Central Plains hundred cities, but the Northern Tang Dynasty in the old rules and Wu Dongzao under the insistence, five years of defeat, the loss of nearly 200,000 soldiers, Hulan King Chu Shi Jia Wei also died of illness under the city, and finally because of the strong attack on the Northern Tang Dynasty and could not, Hulan Iron Cavalry retreated to the north and south of Yinshan. Chu Shi Jia Wei is the first sage king of Hulan for a thousand years, Qin boy, don't you think that Chu Shi Jia Wei is more powerful? ”

Xu Ruyu couldn't mention the luck of Danxi, but although the five senses were sensitive, and although the three of Hua Xiuyan tried their best to restrain themselves, in Xu Ruyu's ears, their breath was tight and slow, and it was not as leisurely as just now. Xu Ruyu sneered in his heart, and secretly thought: Hulan is really powerful, how many people can recognize that the charming Hua Xiuyan is actually a fine work sent here by Hulan, Hua Xiuyan has a beautiful face, is good at singing and dancing, and can help Hulan find talents.

Qin Zhongshu didn't know Xu Ruyu's intention at all, so he used the allusion to hit himself, he was stunned for a while, and said: "Although the Northern Tang Dynasty was not attacked by others, it was not impossible to attack......

Xu Ruyu rushed in the car and said: "Water attack also, Hanging Urn Mountain is located in the west of the city, Jin water out of Yan, through the south of the city and into Fenshui, Hanging Urn Mountain has empty valley can store water, build a canal to change the waterway, irrigation can be trapped." ”

Qin Zhongshu hurriedly said: "The west of the Northern Tang Dynasty hangs the urn mountain, the Jin water flows out from there, bypasses the south of the city, and flows into the Fen River in the east, although it can be regarded as the natural danger that the city depends on, but there are still two sides, in the spring and summer rainy season, the mountain flood is outbreaking, the river water is surging, you can build an artificial riverbed, build a dam, and break the Jin water into the dam to irrigate the Northern Tang Dynasty." The three Li brothers have also read the "History of the Great Wilderness", Tang Yao started to build the Northern Tang City, and then the Fenjun Zhi clan wanted to trap the Northern Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, and used this strategy. ”

Rui'er said: "The Northern Tang Dynasty is still standing still, doesn't that mean that the Zhi Clan has failed to capture the Northern Tang Dynasty with water attacks?" ”

Xu Ruyu said in the car: "Qin Xiaozi said, there are still two sides to the matter, the Zhi clan built a dam to block the water and wanted to trap the Northern Tang Dynasty, but let the Tang clan send people to dig the embankment on the other side and flood the Zhi clan's camp, that battle, the Zhi clan was defeated, and the Zhi clan was wiped out. ”

However, there is also a record of this in the "History of the Great Wilderness": the flooded Zhi camp eventually spread to the Northern Tang City, but at that time, the Tang Clan had already won a great victory, digging a diversion canal to drain the stagnant water, but unexpectedly, the Northern Tang City collapsed in many places one after another.

When Tang Yao built the city, he considered the plan of water attack, the rammed earth technology of the plate sandwich, adding salt and eggs, it was extremely strong, and the wooden piles and stone foundations were also strengthened in the middle, and the water potential accumulated in the hanging urn mountain could not destroy such a solid city. Xu Ruyu still remembers listening to his father tell this history and immediately explained the gist of the city: divert water to flood the city, and then pump out the water, and after it dries up, the city wall will collapse and collapse.

Six hundred years ago, the Zhaowu Burning Ceremony, which lasted for 38 years, erased the record of this paragraph in the "History of the Great Wilderness". When people read "The History of the Great Wilderness", they only know that the Zhi clan wanted to trap the city with water and drown themselves, but they can't see the record of the water draining up and the city wall collapsing.

Qin Zhongshu is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, which has frightened Xu Ruyu. Xu Ruyu was only afraid that Qin Zhongshu would also know this allusion, so he took over his words, lest he leak the strategy of breaking the city to Hua Xiuyan. Listening to his breath as usual, I realized that he didn't know the real strategy to break the city, and I couldn't help but secretly regret that he was too sharp.

Hua Xiuyan sighed slightly, and said: "The city of the Northern Tang Dynasty is strong, and the water storage on the Hanging Urn Mountain is equal to the city saucer, and the Zhi clan is calculated, and it may not be able to destroy the city wall." ”

Xu Ruyu smiled, and was about to say a few words of teasing, when he heard Qin Zhongshu and Feng Ge'er's breath gradually increase, and he lifted the curtain to look, but saw a cliff in the distance and turned around and walked out.

It was cold in the north, but the man was wearing a thin green shirt, with an iron sword hanging from his waist, and his long hair was tied up with a silk silk draped behind him, and his demeanor was extremely free, looking down on Hua Xiuyan and others, and said: "You are talking here, don't you know that only the Hulan people in the world are desperate to capture the Northern Tang Dynasty?" His eyes slowly swept over everyone like electricity, and his eyes stopped for a moment on Xu Ruyu's face who lifted the curtain to reveal his head, frowned, and said: "One hundred thousand sieges, the Northern Tang Dynasty has gone through seven times, and seven times it is still unstoppable. ”

Xu Ruyu secretly wondered: Why did Fan Wenlong appear here? Could it be that Li Sixun spread the news that I was injured and escaped? Fan Wenlong recognized me, but he didn't say anything, but slowed down his language and covered it up for himself, what does it mean? Don't dare to be careless, and suddenly enter the realm of returning to the heart of the five senses, as long as Fan Wenlong kills him, he will fight to aggravate his injuries, and he will forcibly escape away. It's just that at that time, they had to rely on Zhao Jingyun and them to forcibly break through the siege of the masters of the Yaoguang Palace.

Qin Zhongshu said with a smile: "But feel free to find some talking points to set off the mountains and snowy scenes." ”

Fan Wenlong laughed and said, "Your talking point inevitably has too many murderous intentions. "Stepping on the steep cliff, walking on the ground, he slowly walked to the carriage and said, "Yuhang Fan Wenlong, when he first arrived in the Northern Tang Dynasty, he heard the name of Xiuyan Girl, but he didn't expect to meet in the wilderness and snowfield. Miss Xiuyan probably also hopes to find someone before leaving Beitang? ”

Before Xu Ruyu said that before leaving, he didn't have time to look back to see who the archery person was, but he deduced from his archery skills that he was the brown-clothed man in the city, and he couldn't know that the two masters on the other side were Wu Mengli and Meng Tu. Secretly: In this place, I am afraid that there are many peerless masters who come to him. Seeing Fan Wenlong approaching, he dropped the curtain and moved to the back wall of the carriage, and the heart lake reflected the qi of everyone within a few steps around like still water.

Hua Xiuyan glanced at the iron sword on Fan Wenlong's waist, and said indifferently: "Qin Gongzi is the person I am looking for, now that the person is looking for it, we will go to Fan Yang, but I don't know who Fan Ye is looking for?" ”

Fan Wenlong smiled: "I don't know who I'm looking for, since Miss Xiuyan is looking for Qin Gongzi, probably Qin Gongzi is also the person I'm looking for, and won't mind if I go to Fanyang together?" ”

Hua Xiuyan thought to herself: What's the use of minding, Fan Wenlong can avoid the masters lurking around him and approach here, which shows that his cultivation is not weak, Yan Lao closed his eyes and was speechless, which means that he was completely unsure of him in the face of such an opponent. He made up his mind to follow, but what could he do? It's better to wait for the time being, and then plan slowly. said with a smile: "Since Fan Ye is interested, how can the concubine refuse, only the body is narrow, and she wants to wronged Fan Ye." ”

Fan Wenlong said with a smile: "I hide the horses at the bottom of the mountain, as long as the Xiuyan girl stops to enjoy the snow, leave me a glass of wine." After that, he waved his sleeves and rolled up a puff of snow, and the snowflakes fell quietly, and there was no longer Fan Wenlong.

Qin Zhongshu was stunned and said, "Why is this Fan Wenlong's person looking for me?" ”

Xu Ru smiled and said: "Fan Wenlong is the first master of Yue County, the general of the Fan clan, he must know Qin Boy's talents, and I want to invite you to go to Yue County to play the Kou." ”

Qin Zhongshu said with a smile: "The trend of the southeast will eventually fall under the rule of General Qingfeng, and it is better to go to Jiangning than to attach Yuhang." ”

Xu Ruyu sighed: "Xu Ruyu harmed the world with the county policy, and the disaster of the displaced people in the Northern Tang Dynasty was also caused by the county policy. This Jiang Ning, I'd rather die than vote. ”

Qin Zhongshu sneered twice and said: "The disaster of the displaced people in the Northern Tang Dynasty is nothing more than the persecution of the hometown in the world, what does it have to do with the county's policy?" The family wanted to blame the natural disaster on the county policy, hoarded grain in the fort, and refused to help the hungry, so there was a disaster of displacement. Now Xunda indulges thieves to wreak havoc outside the city. wanted to use the power of thieves to destroy the strong fortress built by the family between the dangerous peaks and mountains, but he didn't know that it was Hulan who helped in the end. ”

Hua Xiuyan said: "Xun Da borrowed the power of the displaced people to destroy the walled fort of Shijiahao, which is conducive to continuing to implement the county policy in the future, and how can it be said that it is beneficial to Hulan in the end?" ”

Xu Ruyu sighed and said: "The homeless people pushed down the walled fort of Shijiahao, but it didn't have to be so hard for the Hulan Iron Cavalry to invade the south, so Qin Xiaozi said that it was Hulan who helped in the end." In his heart, he pondered Qin Zhongshu's identity. Qin Zhongshu said that he was a member of the Qin family in the Northern Tang Dynasty, and everyone sat under the wall of the Qin house, but they didn't see any of the Qin family's retainers recognize him, but his insight and foresight were far beyond the reach of ordinary scholars. In these three or four days, Hua Xiuyan wanted to refuse and welcome, and he was like glue, and the meaning of solicitation was clear at a glance, and it was only at the right time to find out his identity.

Mengtu gave horses to harm himself, and from this incident, it can be seen that Hulan's style of recruiting talents: if you don't use it for me, you will be slaughtered.

Xu Ruyu was afraid that Hua Xiuyan would make his intentions clear too early, and his cultivation would not recover, if Qin Zhongshu flatly refused, he was afraid that he and Feng Ge'er would cause murder. Xu Ruyu deliberately led him to say something that he had a bad feeling for Hulan, so that Hua Xiuyan could not say what he was soliciting. But it was Fan Wenlong's sudden appearance that caught Xu Ruyu off guard.

After the Battle of Fuzhou, Fan Wenlong was hidden by Fan Che and served as a lieutenant in the offshore cantonment for nearly two years. If Li Sixun spread the news, then Fan Wenlong was most likely ordered by Fan Che to assassinate him. Why didn't he do it, could he see that he could forcibly raise his breath when his heart was damaged?

Driving in the afternoon, everyone had their own thoughts, words were less, the soft sound of the horse's hooves stepping in the snow was still clear in the valley, through the valley, saw Fan Wenlong leading a blue horse standing on the road in front, looking up at the sparse forest on the distant mountain.

Xu Ruyu was shocked in his heart: the horse led by Fan Wenlong was the Qingjun given to him by Mengtu, and after Xu Ruyu was attacked in Xishan, the Qingjun should be in the hands of Zhao Jingyun and others.

Qingjun is a pure-blooded divine horse, even if it is not common in Hulan, Xu Ruyu saw Hua Xiuyan's body slightly stunned, knowing that she also recognized this Qingjun.

Fan Wenlong looked at Hua Xiuyan and smiled, and said, "Miss Xiuyan recognizes the origin of this horse? He threw the reins around the horse's neck and said, "On the way, I met Loboyuan, and he shook my horse to death, so I rode his horse." ”

Hua Xiuyan said: "Qingfeng General Xu Ruyu alias Li You and Hulan Gongzi Ze are good friends, and Meng Gong Ze gave a cyan wonder horse, I heard about this in the Qin family's house, and I think that the wonder horse is the horse in front of me." ”

Qin Zhongshu was amazed and said: "It is recorded in the book that the dragon has a phoenix skull, a swirling hair like milk under the abdomen, and a hoof like iron. ”

Xu Ruyu had no time to listen to him praise the horse, and secretly wondered: If Luo Boyuan rides this horse, there must be urgent business, how can he ask Fan Wenlong for trouble? Fan Wenlong wanted to tell me that he had obtained this horse from Zhao Jingyun and others as a token.
