Jiangjin City, south of the river, Jinshui around the city, so named Jiangjin. Jiangjin City is built majestically on the mountain, the two main peaks of the mountain are equal to the height, the east peak is called the dragon mountain like the dragon, the west peak Sanmao Palace is also called the Fengxiang peak, the double peak is like the door, the water is guarded by Jin, so Jiangjin is called the Tianjin gate again before the city is built.

Jiangjin looks at the East China Sea in the east, Jingchu in the west, and Wanyue in the south. The former dynasty ran through the long river through the Luojin water, and it was a accessible place from ancient times to the present. It is among the four capitals of the world, which shows its prosperity. The main waterway of Jinshui bypasses, and there is another diversion ditch that goes through the city, which is also called Jinshui. In the heyday of the former Chaojin water transportation, the commercial ports on both sides of the strait reflected each other, and there were many restaurants. So far, it is a little inferior, but there are still businessmen gathered, the market is prosperous, the song building dances, the sound of the piano and the wine vessels, all night long.

Dongli teahouse faces the street and water, lives in a prosperous place, but it is a rare quiet and elegant, the window can see the twin peaks of the mountain, the sky stands, and you can see the water under the window, the boats gather, the sails cover the said. A few feet square by the water* planted a variety of chrysanthemums, now it is the number nine severe cold, there are still a few different species in the flower garden in full bloom, Zheng Zheng wind bones more than the competition for beauty. The front street is facing the Yongning County Governor's Mansion. The former governor of the capital was happy and quiet, and every time he ordered two officials to hold the cane, he encountered someone who had nothing to do, and the cane was used. Zhang Dong rose to Yongning County, since Mujiangjin, changed all the decrees issued by his predecessors, but this one has not been changed. Therefore, although the Dongli Tea House is in a prosperous place, there is no noise of cars and horses.

Xu Ruyu thought to himself, his father often said that the world gets along, and there is no more strife, and the folk customs in the market are like old wine, which makes people intoxicated. Now it's somewhat similar. The mountain is outside, the clouds and clouds are gathered, the chrysanthemums under the window are contending for research, the name of this teahouse is the east fence, which is obviously taken from the artistic conception of the ancient poem "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing the South Mountain". If my father were here, he would definitely look for the owner of the tea shop to taste the wine. Thinking of this, Xu Ruyu was sad and grief-stricken.

Wu Chu was accustomed to this situation, ignored it, and calculated in his heart that from yesterday, the strict collection and search in Jiangjin City would be stopped, and the normal city defense should be restored. Obviously, Zhang Dong saw that he had not shown his body, and continued to collect and search, disturbing the people for too long, hurting the political system, and having to restore the order of life in the city. If he let his guard down and boldly go to assassinate him, he will surely fall into his snare. At this time, Zhang Dong should be tight inside and loose outside, and you can know a thing or two by seeing that the honor guard he travels every time he travels is still strict.

Just thinking about it, I saw four bearded men entering the teahouse, and they sat down by the window in a big way, and greeted the tea-man to serve the tea in a rough voice.

The four of them have an even body posture, and they lift weights between their steps, and they are obviously all good players.

One of them behaved rudely, propped his right leg on the table rung, and scolded aggressively: "Wu Chu's dog thief is very harmful..."

Before he could say more, the white-faced and long-bearded man on the left side stopped him sharply and said, "Whisper." You want to get us reprimanded together. ”

The rude man sneered and spoke softly to the other three.

When Wu Chu saw that the four people talked about himself, he immediately gathered his ears.

"There has been news from Zhongliu's side that Prince Wu wants to attach to the Ejia family, but has been rejected by Suihou Epu and left to the southeast. Why did the lord still make us pretend to be diners and mess around in the wine shop? The rude man said angrily.

"I don't receive errands, my salary is not reduced, and I can still travel in the mountains and rivers every day, so what's uncomfortable about the second brother?" A scar-faced man on the other side said lightly.

"Having said that, but this is the time to make a contribution, who has the heart to enjoy the mountains and rivers here? Besides, we are just staying in this teahouse restaurant, not like the three evils of Jiangjin and them..."Before the words came out, he felt that he was speechless, and he was busy keeping his mouth shut, hoping that the three of them would not find out.

However, the obscene young man on the right did not let him go, and took his words sarcastically: "It's not like the three evils, they stay in the Red Pavilion and Qinglou, right?" Haha, it turns out that the second brother is not angry that he can't build a successful business, but misses his pleasure. ”

The rude man knew that he had lost his words, and he couldn't refute it for a while, so he only blushed and stared at the obscene young man angrily. But the lewd young man was not afraid of him, and he was very proud of his eyebrows.

The white-faced man with a long beard didn't feel it, and said, "Xiao Ke, don't tease your second brother anymore." After a pause, he said solemnly: "The lord has a deep meaning in this arrangement. Zhongli's current Wu Chu may be pretended to be his subordinate, the purpose is to attract our attention. Wu Chu and his forty-nine subordinates were covered with bronze masks, and it was impossible to tell if they were not acquaintances. Okay, don't talk about Wu Chu anymore, if he doesn't show up, let me wait for the vacation. ”

Next, all four of them talked about things. The rude man and the obscene young man even talked about the silver filth of the Qinglou, not making obscene laughter. Hearing this, Wu Chu frowned, and turned around to see Xu Ruyu frowning. After spending more than a month with him, he knew that his five senses were different from ordinary people, and it was not strange to see that he could hear the conversation of the four people at this time.

Xu Ruyu looked at the person in front of him and thought: Although he is brutal and impermanent, he is also deeply supported by his subordinates. At this time, he has lost his momentum, but there are still people to help. My father used to say that if you can win people's hearts, you will gain something. It seems that beneath the surface of his brutality lies something else.

Xu Ruyu was rescued by Wu Chu to save his surname, and the two have been together for more than a month, and they have been safe and sound, and they are no longer as rejected as they were at the beginning.

Wu Chu said: "Zhang Dong is cautious, how can he easily fall for this plan? ”

Xu Ru foolishly saw that although he was talking to himself, he knew that he was talking to himself, so he continued: "It is Zhang Dong's cautious personality that will fall into this plan. ”

"Oh, why do you say that?" Wu Chu restrained his voice, isolating the sound field between the two from the outside world, and he was not afraid of others hearing it.

Xu Ru knew that he was taking the school himself, so he didn't care, and then said: "Although Zhang Dong knows that Zhong Liu's person will not be the prince of Wu, but with his surname of not knowing anything in detail and not daring to worry about it, he will definitely send a good hand in the clan to find out." In this way, the strength in Jiangjin City will definitely be dispersed. ”

Wu Chu showed praise on his face and said, "You won't end your words here, continue to speak." ”

"If you can find the family to join you again, you will be rejected several times and it seems that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and then you will go north to Jiangjin. Even if Zhang Dong may not be fully convinced, he will do his best to intercept the south bank of the river. That's when you'll be able to use it cheaply. ”

"Sure enough, it is worthy of being the queen of Liujun. The same should be true of Meng. ”

Xu Ruyu hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "I just don't know what deep hatred you have with Zhang Dong, and you want to kill him quickly?" ”

The light in Wu Chu's eyes flashed, and his face became gloomy, as if he was immersed in the past and couldn't extricate himself. Xu Ruyu saw that his face had become extremely ugly, and his eyes were sometimes fierce, sometimes sad, sometimes gloomy, sometimes gentle, and changed in an instant. I can't help but regret asking such a question, and I can't help but be scared, and I don't know what to do. Fortunately, after only a moment, Wu Chu's expression returned to normal, and he glanced at the four people in the distance with a grim look, and said, "You really want to know?" ”

Xu Ruyu met his gaze, hesitated, and nodded affirmatively.

"Well, let's find another place so that the four dogs don't notice anything."

The two of them checked out and left the teahouse, and found a restaurant on the bank of the Jinshui River to enter, and sat down with peace of mind when they saw no one in disguise.

"Along the Jin River, more than 350 miles away from Jiangjin City, there is a small Yi named Boling, which belongs to Qinghe Mansion of Yongning County, my Wu family is the big family of Boling, and the successive Boling Mansions are from our Wu family. Although there are more than 10,000 households in Boling, it is a place where soldiers can win their lives. Zhang Dong has just risen in Yongning County, only Yixing, Baishi two mansions and Bayi, east of Donghai County, see rejected by Chen Ang, northeast is Yijia Qingzhou. At that time, the Zaifu disciples possessed Jiangjin, Qinghe, and Nanyang, but their governance was tyrannical, like wolves shepherding sheep, and the common people of the family were unbearable, so they plotted to lure Zhang Dong into Jiangjin to expel the Zaifu disciples from Yongning County. At that time, my father led more than 1,000 elite soldiers of my Wu clan to follow Zhang Dong. Zhang Dong invaded Jiangjin through Dao Boling, and my Wu family intercepted the reinforcements of Qinghe Mansion for him, and later helped him seek Qinghe Mansion. When Zhang Dong returned to Jiangjin and passed through Boling, the army Chen was on the bank of Jinshui and asked my father and brother to drink outside Boling City to celebrate their achievements. My father was jealous of him, so he let me lie in the sick city and lead the army in case something changed. Sure enough, after the banquet, the ambush soldiers came out, and Zhang Dong tied my father and brother to the city, and asked me to abandon the city and surrender, and hand over the Qinghe Charging Technique. My father and brother were so humiliated that they killed themselves by chewing their tongues. The siege of the city was broken for half a month, and only 17 of our people broke through the siege and were able to get out, and the rest were either dead or captured. Compete for hegemony and do everything. Our clan is located in the place of Boling, and there is a family legend of Qinghe thaumaturgy, although in the troubled times do not fight for hegemony and land, but the strong man is deeply jealous of my Wu family. In the troubled times, if you don't want to forge ahead and suffer elimination, there is nothing to talk about. I hated Zhang Dong's dog thief, captured my beloved wife, and wanted to be strong, and when I saw that my wife refused to obey, he put a knife on the neck of my child who was less than a month old. My wife was humiliated and died, Zhang Dong cooked my son and those who contributed to the battle, and one hundred and twenty-three people of our people were slaughtered. ”

In the last few words, Wu Chuhu's body trembled violently, his words were choked, and his eyes were full of tears of hatred. Xu Ruyu's heart was like a huge force, and it was difficult to breathe, and finally he couldn't control the hot tears pouring out.

The two of them pondered separately, and without saying a word, they sat straight to the Bo Se Mountain, and the sunset was empty. The sparkling waves above the water are like hidden gold, rippling under the long branches of the weeping willows. At this time, there are dozens of painting boats tied to the shore, there is a faint sound of singing, listen carefully, but it is "the country is broken by mountains and rivers, the city is deep in spring, the flowers splash tears, and the birds are frightened!" After the mountain sinks, the hookah rises, and the twilight deepens, but the singing is endless, and it is getting louder and louder.

The sound of the piano flickered, and the sad turn, Xu Ruyu heard that it was the ancient music "National Mourning", which was a sacrificial music for the soldiers who died in the battle to defend the land. The singer paused, and then reused the sad voice and sang:

Wu Gexi was armoured by the rhino armor, and the car was wrong and the short soldier was picked;

The enemy is like a cloud, and the arrows are falling to be the first;

Ling Yu staggered for the rest of his life, and his left side was injured on his right side;

The haze is two rounds and four horses, and the aid is beating the drum;

When the sky is frightened, the spirit is angry, and the wilderness is abandoned;

There is no way in and out, and the plains are far away;

With a long sword, he carried the Qin bow, and his head was not punished;

Honesty is both brave and martial, and finally strong and invincible;

The body is dead, the god is the spirit, and the soul of the child is the ghost.

Xu Ruyu recalled what his father said: The heroes rise together, compete for the world, and enmity each other. The ant people in the world are either enslaved or slaughtered, the living have no return, their relatives remain, and the heroes make it so, and the world regards them as enemies. Wu Chu was blinded by hatred, attached to the Yi tribe in Qingzhou, and trained thousands of ghost horsemen to intrude Yixing, Baishi and other places in ten years, two mansions and six towns, and it was difficult to leave one of the ten households, and the people who were in trouble would definitely hate him very much. Thinking of this, his sympathy for Wu Chu was much lighter, and he restrained his sadness, but he was even more immersed in the boundless sadness of the song. My father used to say that people are the most easily deceived, clinging to their beliefs, but causing others to be harmed. In this way, hatred is also a deceived belief. When my father was dying, he did not forget to tell me to forget revenge, thinking that he did not want me to be blinded by hatred. I just heard that Wu Chu said that his meridians were damaged, and I was afraid that he would not live long, and there was no way to mention revenge.

I wanted to stay for a while, until Wu Chu woke him up, and he realized that it was already in the middle of the moon, and the stars were Zhaozhao.
