PS: Spring is coming, going is going, entering June, Guanzhong leaves have long turned from verdant to green. The wheat was full, the fruit was gradually abundant, and the stomachs of the two women in Guo Xu's yard were also like ripe watermelons, rising proudly and successfully. If it weren't for the fact that the neighbors often saw Chen Song taking one of the women for a walk, they would almost think that Guo Xu had a concubine, and the wife and concubine were chasing after the baby.

Spring is coming, going is going, and in June, the leaves in Guanzhong have long turned from verdant to green. The wheat was full, the fruit was gradually abundant, and the stomachs of the two women in Guo Xu's yard were also like ripe watermelons, rising proudly and successfully. If it weren't for the fact that the neighbors often saw Chen Song taking one of the women for a walk, they would almost think that Guo Xu had a concubine, and the wife and concubine were chasing after the baby.

Chen Song, the young general of Beifu, has fallen hopelessly in love, and was captured by this woman who calls herself Mei Hong, without even a struggle, and is now waiting for a child who has nothing to do with him to be born. After that, he had to wait for a while before he could create the next generation that belonged to them with Mei Hong. In the words of Hu Luzheng, Chen Song is arrogant, and has been looking forward to a stunning fairy falling from the sky, but unexpectedly, he picked up a woman on the side of the road without warning.

To others, it's a joke; But for Chen Song, this is destiny. His previous sketches about the future pillow person were instantly erased by Mei Hong's tearful eyes, and that kind of weightlifting seemed to be to prove how naïve he was, how unreasonable love was, and how domineering fate was.

It is around the time of the vernal equinox. It was during the fifth visit that he finally stopped worrying about being alone. Resolutely give up his ridiculous insistence on the so-called perfection and woo this beautiful young woman with a bulging belly. It doesn't matter who this kid is. He or she is willing to be his or her father, as long as the child and his offspring have the same mother's blood. Mei Hong refused to accept at first, but Chen Song was a tough soldier who was good at attacking fortifications on the battlefield, and he showed the same tenacity in the love field. And Mei Hong is wandering alone, longing for a home, and she has a faint taste of love at first sight for Chen Song. Echoing inside and outside, it was impossible to go down to the Jincheng soup pool, and finally accepted Chen Song's confession under the plum tree in the small courtyard on a night when the bright moon was hanging high. This plum tree did not have any special significance before. When Mei Hong and Chen Song hugged each other and kissed each other, it finally showed God's intention to arrange it here. The only drawback is that there are no orange trees in Guo Xu's yard, otherwise there are tangerine peels and plum blossoms. Chen Song Meihong seems to be made in heaven, and it is almost intolerable if she can't finally become a dependent.

After this period of cold emotional attack and defense of the ice spring, the next thing is the stream singing. A sweet concerto of clear springs. Chen Song and Guo Xu have been brothers for many years, but after conquering Chang'an, they have never run to his house twice in three days like now. It's just that Guo Xu's house is too small. can't accommodate two couples, and Mei Hong moving out is already the general trend.

Chen Songxiang's house is not far from Guo Xu's house. The size is similar, and you can move in after cleaning and decorating. Take advantage of these days to wait for the house. Taking advantage of the fact that the weather had not yet reached the scorching heat of Cheng Dù, while there was no war in Guanzhong, and while the two pregnant women were not so heavy that they were struggling, Chen Song and Guo Xu pulled the two of them in a carriage, called the brothers, and took the handmaidens and personal soldiers out to camp and play. They rowed their boats to a stretch of Cheung Chau in the center of the Wei River, where they set up several tents. The river level here is flat, the reeds are green, the water birds are closed, and the white clouds are long. During the day, the women hid in the shade of the trees and chatted, ate wild fruits to make female red, and cooked fish soup in small pots; The men went ashore to hunt and went into the water to swim. At night the women go to bed early and the men drink. War is far away from them, infighting is far away from them, and here and now there are only fireworks men and women, mortal fun. The group was so ambitious that they almost wanted to retreat, refusing to return to Hongchen Chang'an.

The next night, the roasted rabbits, fish, roasted pheasants, and the moon rose, and a bunch of people lay on their backs in a drunken state, and they were in the mood to guess riddles.

Xiao Qiao first came up with a mystery:

The sun and the moon come together,

Don't be a clear word guess,

Chang Mao is not,

Sorrowful to death Shangshutai.

The men looked at each other, completely confused. Mei Hong gestured for a long time, her eyes lit up, and she said that this was a "guts" word. Xiaoqiao praised her for being smart, and apologized to the men, saying that she had offended her by forgetting that you were less literate. Xu Zhihao said that he didn't blame his sister-in-law for this, but only blamed a few of us for being unproductive. In the future, we will all have children, so we can save money and give money to those village scholars, so we will invite my sister-in-law to be a female gentleman, and educate our next generation to become rich literati, no longer wielding swords and sticks. In this way, I'll come up with a riddle, others have tested me, and it almost didn't make me suffocate my head:

Brothers walk side by side,

One left and one right,

Run as fast,

Don't break up until you die.

Although Hu Luzheng speaks Chinese smoothly, he scratches his head when he encounters this kind of word game that requires a brain turn, and now he looks at these brothers, and feels that no one can run as fast as him, if it is one left and one right, he must have jumped out first. Chen Song vaguely felt that he could guess, and before he could open his mouth, the two women had already shouted in unison:

Wheels!

Guo Xu smiled and said that it was so simple, I couldn't guess it.

Xiao Qiao tapped his head and said, I never expected you to guess.

Chen Song suddenly remembered a riddle that a veteran had said, and he could take it out to stump everyone, including these two clever women, so he cleared his throat and said it as gently as possible:

Nanyang Zhuge Liang,

Sitting firmly in the military tent,

Set up the gossip array,

Catch the fly alone.

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Qiao burst out laughing.

Chen Song said what Miss Sun was laughing at. Xiaoqiao said that when I was very young, I heard my father and his subordinates talk about this riddle, and the riddle is not a spider.

Everyone was amazed, but Chen Song frowned and blurted out:

"What did your father do?"

Xiao Qiao suddenly realized that she was a hundred secrets, and a "subordinate" made Chen Song suspicious. suppressed his heartbeat and leaned on Guo Xu:

"What else can I do? Doing business. When the business was at its most prosperous, there were only a dozen or so men under his command. In the eyes of those of you, it's the size of a sesame seed. ”

Guo Xu has come back to his senses at this moment. Where the love goes, the brain is active. immediately thought of how to cover up for Xiaoqiao, so he reached out and scratched his wife's nose:

"Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, marry a soldier, and the guys have become subordinates."

The crowd laughed. Xiaoqiao was overjoyed by her husband's wit and reached out to stroke the back of his head. Chen Song smiled lightly, glanced at Xiao Qiao meaningfully, and felt that she was very much like a person again. But at this time, it is obvious that the situation can no longer be asked. And Mei Hong is also eager to try a riddle:

A square stone,

Hold down the world and the earth,

One person lifted gently,

10,000 people can't afford it.

Xiao Qiao had never heard of this riddle before, but she felt that the riddle was vast, not like the folk custom of making zuò with ordinary objects. After thinking about it carefully for a while, it suddenly dawned on me and I was about to say it. suddenly realized that he couldn't reveal more of his knowledge, and he didn't look like the daughter of a businessman's family, and Chen Song's suspicions were even more important, so he pretended to be puzzled. Frowning and shaking his head.

Xu Zhihao thought for a long time and said that it could be a mountain?

Mei Hong said, how can the mountain be lifted lightly by one person?

Xu Zhihao said that the gods are fine.

Mei Hong said that if the mountains of the world are together, they can't suppress the world.

Hu Luzheng said that it is qi? Gas this thing. can hold down all the earth under heaven. But it's not one person who lifts it lightly, and ten thousand people can't lift it.

Chen Song said that you are a Xianbei person. If you don't know how to be angry, you have to learn the Tao and ascend to immortality? Then you quit drinking and meat. Find a mountain to live in, as if you know it, drink dew all day long and breathe in the air, don't eat grains, and light up your body.

Hu Luzheng said that if you don't eat, what does it mean to live? The gods have never seen it, the emperor has seen it, if I can be an emperor without eating or drinking, I would rather eat and drink and be a flower child.

Mei Hong pointed to Hu Rhythm with her hand:

"Soon, soon, you guessed!"

Hu Luzheng was confused:

"What's coming soon?"

Mei Hong said that you just talked about the emperor, and the mystery has something to do with the emperor. After saying this, he suddenly had a dark attack, a trace of imperceptible pain flashed in his eyes, and he pretended to rub his eyes and lowered his head.

Chen Song suddenly understood, and clapped his hands happily:

"Jade Seal! The mystery is the jade seal! ”

As soon as the mystery was solved, everyone was enlightened. The jade seal is square and square, isn't it just that the emperor alone gently lifts it, and the subjects of the world can't touch it.

Xu Zhihao was amazed, saying that Miss Mei's riddle was rich and noble, and ordinary people couldn't guess it.

Mei Hong had already quickly changed her expression, and instantly thought of how not to leave a trace, smiled lightly, and said When I lived in Chang'an, there were three merchants and nine streams of merchants who came to the door. This riddle was told to my husband by a procurement eunuch from the palace.

Speaking of the word husband, he quickly glanced at Chen Song, as if he would mind.

Chen Song saw her eyes, knew that she cared about herself, her heart was hot, she pretended not to see anything, poured a small bowl of wild fruit soup and handed it to Mei Hong, and raised her chin at Guo Xu:

"Don't be intimacy, it's time for you to make a riddle".

Guo Xu withdrew his hand from Xiao Qiao's shoulder, touched his face with a little embarrassment, thought about it for a long time, and dug out a riddle that he heard his grandfather say when he was a child:

Wumu Weiton,

Arigi Chaozhuo.

Windless thin,

Windy and fat.

Sorrow without water,

There is water joy.

No fire peace,

It's hard to live with fire.

This riddle looks very mysterious, and it really encircles everyone. In fact, they are very familiar with this thing, but they are in the middle of the pass, and they don't need this thing, and since they are not in the situation, it is difficult to get into the heart. Everyone scratched their ears and cheeks for a long time, and Guo Xu was extremely proud. The stupidest person in a bunch of people, a riddle, will kill everyone. In the end, Xiaoqiao was the first to come back to her senses:

"Isn't it a sail?"

The sail is a thing that cannot be suspended without a mast made of wood, shriveled and drooping when there is no wind, swollen and complete when there is wind, there is no place for use without water, and in order to prevent insects and water, it must be soaked in oil, and the most afraid is fire.

Guo Xu hugged Xiaoqiao's fierce kiss several times, causing others to coax.

Xiao Qiao guessed the riddle, and also aroused her heart, thinking that although the sail is raised, although the water is smooth, Jiangdong is far away, her parents don't even have a decent cemetery, and she doesn't even know where to go to sweep the tomb. I was sad for a while, saying that I was sleepy. I want to go to bed early. Then he staggered to his feet and walked to the tent with his waist bent. It seems to be infected by an invisible aura. Everyone suddenly felt uneasy, and hastily drank the rest of the wine. They all lay down and slept.

On both sides of Cheung Chau, the Wei River flows quietly, and it has no way of knowing the joys and sorrows of the people on the continent.

The moon looked down at this jujube core-shaped pure land in the river, and couldn't help but marvel at the earthly connections. People make riddles to guess riddles, but they don't necessarily know that they are in the middle of a riddle.

In this small land, the secret lover of the last emperor of Yao Qin and his widow slept, and there was another palace maid who knew the truth; the daughter of a former high-ranking official of the Jin Dynasty who fell asleep; The Emperor's court maid is rescued by the Emperor's sworn enemy and falls in love with him, who has no idea of the true identity of her sweetheart; Although he was vaguely suspicious of the origin of the daughter of a former high-ranking official, he could not investigate it because she was the wife of his brother in life and death; Although the daughter of a former high-ranking official has the hatred of breaking her family. But he has no power or intention to pay for his blood debts, so he can only hold on to the broken ship of fate and go with the flow. Heavens, you have traveled through troubled times, led by thousands of miles, pinched so many fate and debts together, with love and hatred as the scripture, and grievances as the weft, whether you want to weave a basket to fill it with good fruits, or to save a whip. Used to slash out the sins of the red dust, intentional or unintentional?

Wait!

This is not enough.

Everyone slept very deeply this night, and the next day Hu Luzheng woke up the earliest, and when he was washing his face by the Wei River, he heard a commotion not far upstream. When he looked up, he noticed that there was also a person on the other side who was also washing his face. The man looked up as well, looking at each other. Both of them were stunned.

Yao exterminates the leopard!

He was dressed in the clothes of a local, and a felt mat was rolled up on the ground at his feet. Next to it is a baggage.

Yao Zhenbao also recognized Hu Luzheng. This man led the cavalry in the Battle of Chiyang and bit the Xia soldiers tightly. Burned to ashes, Yao Annihilation Leopard can also be recognized.

The two sworn enemies on the battlefield faced each other with their bare hands across the Wei River.

Suddenly, Hu Luzheng smiled:

"What's your name?"

Yao Zhanbao originally wanted to say that my name was Yao Zhanbao, but when he remembered that the Jin army had snatched the flag of the Leopard Extermination Battalion, and saying this name could only bring humiliation on himself, he said that my name was Yao Ji.

Hu Luzheng knew the story, and when he heard it, he smiled and said that you are Yao Leopard, and your Leopard Destroyer Battalion is very capable of fighting.

Yao Zhanbao saw that the other party did not mean to humiliate him, smiled and said I used to be called Yao Ji, but now the emperor has changed my name to Yao Zhanbao.

After a slight pause, he said that you are also very good at fighting.

Having said that, it seems that they can't continue, and they both feel a little embarrassed. Yao Annihilation leaned over to pick up his things, preparing to turn around and leave. At this time, I heard Hu Luzheng say don't leave first.

Yao Zhanbao's first reaction was to pull out the waist knife from the baggage. If the other party tries to detain him, he will have to fight. But before his hand reached into the baggage, he heard Hu Luzheng say that since he is here, he will meet my brothers.

Yao Zhanbao was a little hesitant with a burden on his back. He slept in the grass in the middle of the night last night, and didn't notice that there was anyone else on Cheung Chau. Since the other party has a brother, it is even more difficult for him to get out. He and his fellow brothers made an appointment to meet in the Weiqiao area, but no one came to help him. Even if he has three heads and six arms, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with a few strong men who have been in battle for a long time. But if you turn around and run away when you hear that there are many people, it seems that you have insulted the demeanor of a general, and you will be laughed at by the enemy, and if you meet on the battlefield in the future, I am afraid that you will be dwarfed. He clasped his hands on his chest, spread his feet apart, and stood firmly on the shore, waiting for the other to move.

Guo Xu, Chen Song and Xu Zhihao were all surprised when they heard that Yao Annihilation Leopard was actually on the other side. They followed Hu Luzheng to the edge of Changzhou to take a look, and sure enough, it was the enemy warrior who had fought at the beginning of spring.

Chen Song quickly turned his mind:

Looking at Yao Zhanbao's costume, he was obviously pretending to be a civilian to come to Guanzhong to investigate the truth and reality. Although the two sides are not at war now, they both know that there will be a war. Taking down an enemy spy and breaking off an enemy general is the duty of a soldier, and there is no hesitation.

But Yao Annihilation Leopard is only one person at this time, and if he takes him down with more people, he will not be able to win. Besides, this place is not a battlefield after all, Yao Anbao has no armor and no weapons, and his identity at this time is a civilian, so he is trapped in a cage, and the empathy of being a soldier can understand his helplessness and shame.

Looking at the people around him, the official had no intention of making a move, but the soldiers who followed him were eager to try.

After thinking about it, he arched his hand at Yao Zhanbao:

"Since General Yao is here, let's get to know them all. This is Guo Xu, deputy of the Beifu Army, and he was the one who led you to the bank of the Chishui River that day. ”

Yao Zhenbao and Guo Xuge killed for a while, cherished each other, and at this time they bowed their heads again.

"This is Xu Zhihao, the lord of the Beifu Soldiers. He is the one who robbed you of your flag. ”

Yao Anbao forcibly suppressed his anger and threw his hand at Xu Zhihao. This blacksmith who hated all kinds of Hu people in the past, and now he still hates all kinds of Hu people in addition to Hu Luzheng, but he crossed his arms, and there was no meaning of courtesy.

"This is Hu Luzheng, the deputy of the Beifu Army. My name is Chen Song, and I am also a military deputy, and I launched a flank attack on your army with him that day! ”

Yao Zhenbao sighed, several cadres who destroyed the Xia army that day met Qi in such a place by mistake, I really don't know what the heavens meant. Could it be that God does not bless the Qiang people, and even a general of the Qin army who defected to another country should be handed over to the national enemy in such a lonely hand?

was secretly measuring whether he could kill any of them before he died, but heard Chen Song say:

"I know you're here to be a spy. As a general, I admire you for being able to do this. However, at present, there is no war between the two armies of Jin and Xia, and you and I are not enemies. If you are willing to appreciate the light, I will ask someone to row a boat to pick you up, and we will have a glass of wine together, which is regarded as our friendship as landlords; If you don't want to, just step away, we will never stop you, and we will never put a cold arrow behind your back! ”

Guo Xu secretly applauded in his heart. admired Chen Song's words to death, and liked them to death.

Xu Zhihao slowly lowered his arm, he couldn't accept the matter of inviting Yao Anbao to drink for a while, but he also felt that Chen Song's posture was so magnificent.

Yao Xuanbao only hesitated slightly. He nodded. First, he instinctively felt that these Jin generals were not the kind of people who played tricks and would not lure him to the continent and tie him up; Second, he also wanted to take the opportunity to weigh their weight. This can be done alone, if there are people around. On the contrary, he did not dare to do it, because someone would tell Helian Bo if he did not keep it. Describe this contact as his illicit affair with the enemy's country.

Xiaoqiao and Mei Hong had already gotten up and saw a stranger. They all felt strange, and when they learned the identity of the visitor, Xiaoqiao was nothing, but Mei Hong shed tears. One is that she finally met a person surnamed Yao, and he is a distant relative of the Yao Qin royal family, so she can't help but feel a sense of intimacy, and she can't help but think of Yao Hong and those days in the palace. The second knew that he was now the general of Great Xia, and remembered that those Xia soldiers in Qingni had snatched the carriage, Zhong Like was frightened because of this, and he couldn't help but have a trace of hatred. The two maids, when they saw someone surnamed Yao, also secretly wept.

Several men sat around a blanket and poured wine, but did not know how to speak.

Hu Lv Zheng first opened the cavity. He said that there are three kinds of people here now, the Great Jin people, the Great Wei people, and the Great Xia people, all of whom have fought with each other. The first cup is given to the brothers who died on the battlefield, especially the brothers who have just died in Chiyang, no matter what nationality they are, there will be no victory or defeat and no hatred when they die.

Yao Zhenbao nodded, impressed by this Xianbei person.

Chen Song picked up the wine bowl and said that in fact, there is only one kind of person here, that is, soldiers. The soldiers of the world are their own masters, but they are a kind of people in their bones, and they all admire those who are loyal to the country and regard death as home, and they all like to be upright. General Yao is brave and good at fighting, if it weren't for Qu and under Helian Xuan, the coach would not have been defeated to that point in Chiyang. Although we won, we don't judge heroes by success or failure, we admire General Yao!

These words deeply touched the heart of Yao Xuanbao.

Chiyang's defeat was indeed caused by Helian Xuan's inability to lead troops and his stupid command. He was incompetent, and naturally exhausted the three armies. What made Yao Anbao's heart ache the most was his subordinate Qiang warriors, the iron-blooded seeds that the Qiang people had preserved in the aftermath of the country, which was almost lost in this battle, making him, a Qiang general, even more alone in the Huns. Although Helian reused him, those Xiongnu nobles looked down on him at all and still regarded him as a captive. The loss of the military flag by the extermination battalion is even more of a joke they talk about. He was bitter in his heart, and he had nowhere to say, but he didn't expect to gain respect from the enemy today. With emotion, I drank it all. Then fill a bowl and serve it:

"Thank you for your high opinion, Yao Ji is grateful. In my opinion, there is only one kind of person here, and that is men. The husband is upright and does not do things like rats and dogs. It stands to reason that you can take me to receive a reward today, but not only did you not do this, but you also invited me to drink, so Yao Ji also said it openly. The Great Xia Emperor is determined to win Guanzhong, and now that the weather is hot, the Xia army is worried that the heat will be invincible, and he will not play up his weaknesses and avoid his strengths, so you just have to sit back and relax. But in winter, there will be a big south, and there will be a big war, and His Majesty the Emperor will be a personal expedition. Yao Ji can sit and drink with you at the moment, and in the future, he can only meet each other in battle, and he can't care so much about winning or losing on the battlefield, don't hold grudges! ”

Chen Song looked up to the sky and laughed:

"Rejoice! General Yao deserves to be an upright husband. We invite the general to drink, and we also have a clear distinction between public and private, and each is not entangled. Men who walk the world, and those who can sit together and drink wine must smell the same. Take off your armor, you and I know each other; Put on the armor and get on the horse, and live and die in the sky. I, Chen Song, hope that the two countries of Jin and Xia will not fight each other and will not waste the lives of the soldiers. But if there is to be a fight, then we will fight calmly, and we will not hold a grudge against you. ”

Yao Zhanbao lamented that he would definitely confront such a soldier whose heart and lungs were like the bright moon and his liver and gall were like iron and stone, and his strength surged, and he raised his bowl to signal to everyone:

That being the case, Yao Ji put his words here: the two armies clashed, whether they used trickery or bravery, they were convinced of victory or defeat. But as long as he is no longer fighting, he vows not to kill them all, let alone fall into the ground. My words are ugly, but I must say it in front of me to show my intentions: if the Jin army is defeated and any of you are in trouble, I will definitely put my life aside and do my best to defend it, and I will not allow anyone to harm me, so as to repay the love of drinking together today! ”

After saying that, he drank the wine dry, smashed the bowl to pieces, got up and strode to the side of the boat, jumped into the boat, and bowed his hand to the crowd:

"I just swore an oath, heaven and earth can be learned, and I have taken my leave!"

Everyone watched the boat row across the Wei River, and saw Yao Zhanbao jump ashore and leave without looking back.

Xu Zhihao suddenly woke up:

"Why is it only him who defends us with all his might, we should sue him, and if he is in trouble, we will defend it with all our might. Hum! It's like they can beat us! ”

Chen Song stood straight by the river for a moment and said quietly:

"What army in the world dares to say that it will never be defeated?" (To be continued......)
