Chapter 322: A Taste of Happiness
In the dark, Lu Pheasant's eyes are there and there, and the difference is really not big.
Although the old witch who spoke was blind, she was familiar with every grass, tree, object and instrument here, and in the house, Lu Pheasant, a clear-eyed person, became a blind man.
"Goddess, you say, if I want to kill someone, how should I kill the best?" Lu Pheasant fell behind, so she simply let go of her vigilance, at least she could be glad that the hostility in the voice of the pious woman in front of her was not so strong.
"Murder -- it depends on who you kill, if it is a mere rough man, you only need to use some wealth and employ those guests who have nothing to do, but if you kill those powerful people, it will cost a lot of money and effort, I don't know, which kind of little woman wants?"
"Of course you want to kill a big one, if you only kill a rough man, how can you alarm Lord Divine Witch?" Lu Pheasant said as he groped for the direction of the other party's voice.
Knowing oneself but not knowing the other.
This is a taboo for soldiers, although Lu Pheasant is a woman, but under the desecration of the generals of the Han army, she also knows that this situation is very unfavorable to her.
"Hmph, it's better for the little woman to be biedong, the ground here is very cunning, and there are some poisons, if you step on it, you will be careful and die." However, it is obvious that the opponent in the dark is also very old-fashioned, and he can judge the situation in front of him just from the footsteps of Lu Pheasant.
"Lord Shenwu, if I were to say that the person I wanted to kill was a big man in the Qin Kingdom, would you denounce me?" Lu Pheasant sighed lightly and said quietly.
The verbal confrontation in the dark made Lu Pheasant very unaccustomed, this feeling of being led by others by the nose was very bad, and instead of this, Lu Pheasant decided to explain his intentions straight to the point.
At least, judging from the early understanding, this woman who claims to be able to make tens of thousands of people in Hanzhong worship. She was very hostile to the central power of the Qin State, and under her influence the Qiang and Di people who lived in obscurantism, she even launched several attacks against the remote and small county towns of Hanzhong County.
"Hehe, the big man that the little woman wants to kill, could it be the Marquis of Qin?" The hoarse voice suddenly laughed, and the laughter was so unpleasant that Lu Pheasant couldn't help but cover his ears.
"Don't be afraid, Li Yuan's thief is just a chance meeting, if you want to kill him, as long as the opportunity is right. There's nothing impossible, okay, since we're all about the same thing, let's sit down and talk about how much leverage you have. A dim oil lamp gradually lit up in the darkness, and Lu Pheasant looked for the place where the light was on, but saw a withered old woman sitting directly opposite the room, and her two eyes were only left with large eye sockets, like a lifeless black hole.
On the path of power. There are successes and failures.
Undoubtedly, Li Yuan is the most successful one for his rise. It also shattered the dreams of many careerists, among them, there are prominent figures such as Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant, and there are also some other unknown people.
The old woman in front of her. If Li Yuan and Yan Le saw it, they would definitely recognize it, Ying's. This old pious woman who stumbled on the Baqiao and fell into the Weishui did not die and came back to life.
Win died and came back to life.
And the trip to Xianyang brought her, in addition to the loss of two eyes, her only son also drowned in Weishui, and the reason was only the child born to Ying Yushu.
The only bloodline of the Win family, now the surname is Li, what is the name of bullshit, every time the Win family thinks about this, they hate Ying Yushu and Li Yuan, a pair of adulterers and adulteresses. At the beginning, she gave up her foundation in the fish country, and went to Xianyang to take care of Ying Yushu to give birth, and when the child was born, Li Yuan's thief was ruthless, and by transferring her son to other places as officials, he deceived them out of the city and secretly poisoned them.
After Ying fell overboard, she was lucky to encounter a merchant ship bound for Hanzhong, which allowed her to avoid Yan Le's subsequent pursuit team while being rescued. Unfortunately, at the moment of falling off the bridge, her face was hit by the bluestone under the bridge, and the blood in her eyes was mixed with the river water, which immediately made her eyes pitch black.
Finally returned to Hanzhong Ying's incognito, with her knowledge of the palace, coupled with sophistry and understanding of the customs of Hanzhong, Ying's quickly became famous in various parts of Hanzhong County, and the identity of the witch made her feel like a fish in water, and under the care of a group of believers, life was very comfortable.
"This enmity is incompatible!" If it goes on like this, maybe Ying's can be stable until she dies of old age, but she is unwilling. As soon as Lu Pheasant entered the house, Ying Shi felt that this woman, like her, had a deep hatred on her body, and this hatred had been soaked into her bones, even if she destroyed the world, she couldn't get rid of it.
Two ruthless women get together, it is enough to set off a huge wave, Lu Pheasant is a foreigner making trouble, maybe Zhao Ben can still deal with it, and with a local snake to win the clan, with Zhao Ben's intelligence and mentality, it is inevitable to suffer.
――。
Changan.
In the midst of the busyness, it ushered in the zuihou month of the sixth year of the Qin new calendar.
The north wind was howling in December, and there were few people on the long street, just like the businessman who wanted to get rich the most, and he hid in the private house he bought early, enjoying the gentle care of the maid he bought.
Inside the Chang'an Order.
Yan Le's face was gloomy, and there was no joy at all, even if his favorite little girl, Yan Niuniu, came to him, he couldn't let this strict father raise his head from the mountains of scrolls.
One trick was negligent and let go of the big fish of Lu Pheasant, which made Yan Le, who had seen nothing in intelligence work for nearly a year, very dissatisfied, but Lu Pheasant was like a small fish diving into the deep sea, only flashed in Yan Le's line of sight, and then disappeared, it was too difficult to find a woman in the vast territory of Qin State.
After the turmoil, Daqin's Fu nationality system has completely collapsed, and if you want to completely re-register the people, it will take huge manpower and material resources, this kind of registration is equivalent to the census of later generations, if you don't invest enough manpower and do a good job of launching in advance, even if you get out of the Fu book, it is basically useless.
"Daddy, Feng'er went to Wuhou Mansion today, and the little brother of Brother Li's family is very cute, and he has been pestering me." Yan Niuniu was just five years old, and her speech was much clearer than before, but when she called Li Yuan, she never refused to change her name to uncle.
Yan Niuniu's name has been taken. The word one phoenix, according to Yan Le's meaning, is to hope that his girl is like a phoenix, Tingting Yuli, beautiful and moving, his willingness so far, it should be said that he has achieved his wish, Yan Feng is very eye-catching in Chang'an's official circle, she and Xin Chai's combination of one big and one small makes many officials praise themselves.
"Didn't you say it, it's called Wuhou or Uncle Li. Is this generation messed up? Yan Le glared at Yan Feng and said to Yan Feng.
"Hey, Daddy, it's trouble for you to be an official, I'll call you Big Brother, I was quite happy to see Brother Li that day?" Yan Le twisted his waist and said angrily.
Speaking in detail, Yan Feng is also a small ghost, in Chang'an City. Yan Le's nickname of "Lord Yama" is almost a household name. Compared with other officials, Yan Le's disadvantage lies in his past, coupled with the profession of the Military Intelligence Department, others have to be afraid if they want to approach him. Being so far away from people all the time was nothing to Yan Le, and if someone caught him somewhere, I am afraid that there would not even be someone to speak for him.
"Alright. Wuhou's army has been in Puban, Hedong County, and during this time, Daddy wants to haode to clean up the law and order in Chang'an. Don't you run around and get me into trouble, hear? Yan Le's face straightened and he commanded. From Jixian County in Yandi to Chang'an, it is the distance from Beijing to Xi'an in later generations, when Li Yuan led the army to reinforce Xiang Yu, because of the urgent military situation and day and night, and this time the squad returned to Chang'an, it did not need to be so urgent.
"Got it, I'm not running around, I'm going to talk to Sister Xin?" Yan Feng spat out his tongue, made a grimace, and then quickly turned around and ran out.
Yan Le saw the little figure of Yan Feng leaving, a smile appeared on his gloomy face, his daughter was her father's lover in her previous life, this sentence is the same at any time, Yan Le, who had an unhappy marriage with Zhao Rong, has long been disbelieving in legends such as the harmony between husband and wife, his wish is only to find a real woman and live a good life in the future, although Yan Feng's mother is a village woman, but Yan Le feels very relieved.
Happiness.
It is like the clouds in the sky, floating around and unpredictable.
Yan Le and Yan Feng have the happiness of their small family, and similarly, the most prominent family in Chang'an City is also quietly looking forward to the day of reunion.
With Li Ye's daily companionship and crying, the young mother Ying Yushu lives a full life day by day, the daughter and the father, the son and the mother, the intimacy between each other is unknown to others, without the control and tie of the Ying family, Ying Yushu is like a bird that has broken free from the cage, and can enjoy the full life according to his own ideas.
Not only her, but also Gu Yunniang, who lived together, also came over, plus Xin Chai, who came to tease Li Ye's son from time to time, the relationship between the three women, who was once estranged, became harmonious again after having the common topic of Ye Boy, and Ying Yushu also began to have a little domineering spirit of being a big woman after being a mother.
Anle Palace.
At the same time, in order to prevent the burning of coal and stone from causing the air in the house to be thin and oxygen-deficient, when the palace was designed, Xin Chai combined with Li Yuan's description and put the coal and stone stove in the southeast direction of the palace.
In the winter of Chang'an, the northwest wind is still strong, the stove is located in the southeast, which does not affect the ventilation of the whole palace, of course, like the huge project of the whole palace surrounded by the juice laneway, the labor and materials spent are also very large, when supervising the construction of Chang'an, Li Yuan's financial resources in his hands are not abundant, he can make up his mind to build such a unique palace for Ying Yushu, which is self-evident.
To be honest, in terms of feelings, Li Yuan's talent is not high, and he belongs to the category of Mu Ne, which is also the reason why Gu Yunniang blamed him for Mu at the beginning, if it weren't for the Qin Dynasty, if Li Yuan's temperament wants to get the favor of the girl, he can only use God's help to pray.
A person's personality determines his temperament and experience.
Maybe it's because he has the habit of being sullen as a traverser, or maybe it's because he has been in the army for a long time, Li Yuan is not as sharp as he is on the battlefield, but more restrained. This kind of introverted personality, if you meet a lively and cheerful personality like Xin Chai, then everything is easy to say, there is no problem.
And if you encounter a delicate and sensitive person, such as Ying Yushu, the run-in period between the two sides becomes very long, and once there are some small mustards between each other, it will cause a series of accidents.
"Well, well, Sister Yu, I see you smiling every day these days, looking forward to Wuhou coming back early, it's a pity, I just came back from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I heard Prime Minister Chen say-!" Xin Chai was dressed in a thick white fox fur sewn and a pair of deerskin boots under his feet, and he was pacing the room with square steps, muttering to himself in a daze.
"What did the prime minister say? Could it be that there is war somewhere? Don't make things up to scare us, you little girl. Ying Yushu's eyes were full of pampering, and her eyes were only staring at Xiao Li Ye who was breastfeeding in her arms.
For the women of the royal family, being able to nurture their own children is a great gift and happiness, after the Ying family was driven out of Chang'an, Ying Yushu finally really matured and began to perform her duties.
"Hehe, the prime minister said that Brother Li still has to inspect the military construction and salt pond in Hedong, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back until the end of December, Sister Yu, don't be disappointed!" Xin Chai said with a grin.
"I have Ye'er, he can't come back, what's the matter, when the time comes, I can't help it, if you really want to, you can go to Hedong to find him." Ying Yushu teased. Li Yuan's carefulness in the construction of the Anle Palace warmed her body at the same time, her heart was also warm, and now she belongs to the king posture that she has in her hands, and she is not worried about what threat Xin Chai will have to herself.
"Hey, my sister agreed, don't be angry, Yun Niang, are you going?" Xin Chai jumped for a moment, and asked excitedly at Gu Yunniang, who was quietly bowing her head to embroider.
"I'm not going. It's windy and snowy outside, and it's not good for my daughter's house to catch a cold. Gu Yunniang shook her head and smiled reluctantly.
"Yun Niang, don't worry, didn't the imperial doctor prescribe medicine, as long as you insist on recuperation, the child will naturally come at that time." Ying Yushu comforted.
Ying Yushu has Li Ye, and Gu Yunniang's heart disease is the same, although she worked hard a few days ago, her stomach has not responded, and then she invited the imperial doctor to come and see, and the diagnosis is that she has injured her body from practicing before, and she needs more recuperation to recover.
This diagnosis made Gu Yunniang very depressed, so when she heard that Xin Chai was going to run out in the winter, she couldn't arouse much interest.
A woman's vision lies in the man and the family; A man's shijie lies in the country and the world.
The women in Chang'an City were looking forward to the arrival of better days in the warm palace, while their men were marching in the bad weather in the east of the river at this time, braving the wind and snow. (To be continued......)
