Verse 5: "Two adults need not be polite." Sun Yunlong stepped forward and helped Wu Ming up, "In this battle of Guangyang, Lord Wu first broke the Nanban Navy, and then took Guangyang without blood. Now the whole of Nanning is praising the great ** name, your big gift, the little old man is ashamed. ”

Wu Ming said: "Lord Sun's words are also wrong, in public and private, this ceremony should be worshipped." The journey was so hurried that it was delayed, and the kid was embarrassed so far. As he spoke, he insisted on making a big salute.

Sun Yunlong is Zhu Yuqing's uncle, which Zhu Yuqing mentioned when he talked on the second night of the wedding. It is said that the two of them are newly married, so why do they have to visit these relatives and friends, but the next day Wu Ming rushed to Guangyang in a hurry, and these basic etiquette were not fulfilled.

The smile on Sun Yunlong's face became thicker and thicker, and he said that he dared, but he still leaned sideways and accepted half a salute. Then a few people exchanged pleasantries for a while. At this time, Zhu Yulong came out, smiled and said loudly: "Everyone will eat in my main tent tonight, first, to catch the wind for Lord Sun, and second, to hold a celebration banquet for us in advance." ”

The officials brought by Sun Yunlong have traveled for so many days, and it goes without saying. Zhu Yulong is even more strict with self-discipline, and the whole army treats everyone equally, so it is naturally rare to see oil and water. Hearing Zhu Yulong say this, those civil officials and personal soldiers all let out a burst of cheers. Wu Ming was secretly surprised, how could Zhu Yulong, who has always been diligent and thrifty, be so generous today.

Zhu Yulong asked his soldiers to bring tables and chairs, and held a banquet in the courtyard. Subsequently, some generals of the Southern Expeditionary Army arrived one after another, and a courtyard full of people crowded together, and there were seven or eight tables together. This banquet was quite a bit of delicious dim sum, much stronger than the coarse meat when Wu Ming arrived last time, and the dishes were served one after another. Everyone ate happily, during the banquet, although Sun Yunlong talked and laughed, Wu Ming always felt that he had a lot of unfinished words, and Wu Ming could only be bored in his heart despite his doubts.

When the feast was gone, it was getting late. Seeing that everyone was almost gone, Wu Ming also said goodbye to Zhu Yulong. Wu Ming's amount of wine was not large, and after drinking a few glasses with Tao Ziqian in the afternoon, he was even more confused at this time, and when he rode the horse, Tao Taoran was already slightly drunk.

Raise your head and look at the moonlight in the sky. Today is the eighth day of the lunar month. It should be Laba Festival, I wish Yulong to celebrate today, I don't know if there is such a reason. The crescent moon has gradually climbed to the top of Guangyang City, and the few stars or two are competing for the airspace with the remaining day. The soft and pale moonlight poured down, as clear as ice. Looking at this round of crescent moon, his mind suddenly dizzy, and somehow, he suddenly remembered He Yi.

The moonlight that night was like water and ice. How similar this dim light was to that night. Since marrying Yuqing, when I miss my wife, I still think of this first woman in my life, and my heart is accompanied by a burst of colic.

Isn't it sorry for Yuqing to do this yourself?

He smiled bitterly, and with the help of his memory, he walked out with a deep and shallow foot. The bluestone pavement is very hard, and it has been well cleaned by the city's citizens in the past few days, emitting a blue-gray light in the moonlight, but when he stepped on it, it was like stepping on a piece of cold ice. It was as if there was a chill all over his body.

In the night, Sun Yunlong's voice suddenly sounded, "Lord Wu, the old man will send you." ”

He turned his head and saw Sun Yunlong standing alone in the moonlight, the moonlight was hazy, and he couldn't see the other party's expressions clearly. Just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly remembered Sun Yunlong's appearance during the banquet, and burped: "In this way, I'm tired of Lord Sun, let's go for a walk together." ”

Sun Yunlong didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he didn't bring an entourage. The night is dark, and the surroundings are even quieter. In the deep night, the footsteps of the two seemed more silent and lonely. After walking silently like this, Sun Yunlong suddenly said: "Lord Wu, I think you don't seem to belong to your heart." ”

Wu Ming was stunned, stopped, turned his head and said, "Sun Dudu's words, I'm just like this, sentimental." In the past, when General Chen was there, he also criticized the kid in person for being more than benevolent and righteous, but he was not determined enough. ”

"Lord Wu, don't be sincere, you are now the youngest commander in the history of the Guards Battalion, and you have obtained the right to open the military government, after this victory in Guangyang, I am afraid that the official position will go further, what else is there to be unhappy?"

What's not to be happy about? Wu Ming smiled bitterly, this matter is naturally not good to say to Sun Yunlongming, could it be that he misses He Yi? He is Yuqing's uncle anyway, and if he says this, it is estimated that he will leave immediately. There were inexplicable thoughts in his heart, but he said: "Sun Dudu has a lot of heart." ”

"Things in the world, unsatisfactory eight or nine times out of ten, some things, can see the opening point to see the opening point, the ancients have a good saying, 'the moon is cloudy and sunny, people have clutch'." Speaking of this, the new governor of Nanyang Province sighed leisurely: "Sometimes, if you look at the opening point, you may not be able to turn around. ”

Wu Ming's heart was shocked, he looked up at Sun Yunlong, and saw that although the other party's face was full of old age, his eyes were as bright as lamps, as if he could penetrate his heart, and he said in a little panic: "Yes, what the governor taught is that the kid has been taught." ”

Sun Yunlong hesitated, and finally slowly took out a jade flute from his arms, handed it to Wu Mingdao: "This is the wedding given to you by Yuqing's aunt, you can keep it." ”

Yuqing's aunt? That's Mrs. He in the Northwest? Although there is now a Liao Qing between the three northwestern provinces and the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, Liao Qing is swaying, and he has not completely fallen out with the Southern Han Dynasty and the northwest, and there are business trips between the three parties. He stretched out his hand to take the jade flute, and couldn't help but love it, this flute should also be made of sandbar jade, pinched in his hand, silky as water, and a warmth rippled from Xiao's body. This Mrs. He likes to use sandbar jade for everything, but how does she know the making of the flute? Could it be that Yuqing sued her? That's really careful.

Wu Ming didn't think much about it, took Xiao into his arms, and said, "I will thank my aunt another day." ”

Zhu Yulong looked at Wu Ming, stopped talking, and finally sighed and said: "Lord Wu, you have to be nice to Xiaoqing in the future, you have to remember that no matter what happens, Xiaoqing doesn't know, she is innocent." ”

Did he mean in case Zhu Huai and Tao Yu fell out in the future? What's wrong with this Sun Dudu today, he turned out to be a bit of a mother-in-law. The way he looks now, where he is still shrewd and capable when he guarded the city in Hanshui, is more like an elder instructing his nephew.

Wu Ming naturally thought about this, and he replied: "The kid understands. In the end, he nodded as if he was sure of something: "Xiaoqing is innocent, no matter what happens, she is her wife." ”

Seeing him say this, Sun Yunlong let out a long breath, looked at the night sky, and said leisurely: "Lord Wu, after returning to Nanning, think more about what you do, you are now not only the commander of the guard camp, but also the pillar of a family, the obligations of the courtiers must be fulfilled, and the discipline of the Lunchang Gang must also be observed......"

Wu Ming naturally didn't want to talk to him more about this topic, so he hurriedly asked, "Back to Nanning?" Won't you continue the southern expedition? ”

"What's going on in the south? The current situation of the imperial court, is it allowed to march south? ”

"Then, how do you explain it to the mother?"

Sun Yunlong laughed, and regained the demeanor of a governor, he put his hands behind his back and said: "Nanning is making such a big fuss, naturally it is the instruction of the mother, but there is no help from the prime minister. Seeing that Wu Ming was still confused, he continued: "The purpose of Niangniang's doing this, the Prime Minister naturally understands it clearly. But later, seeing that the situation was getting more and more out of control, he had an idea and decided to make a mistake and scare the southern barbarians. ”

Is that okay too? Wu Ming thought about it, and suddenly suddenly realized: "Could it be that those petitions in Nanning, asking for the Southern Expedition and the like are all tricks directed by the prime minister to exert pressure on the Southern Barbarians?" Sun Yunlong continued to laugh and said: "Exactly, but it was not directed by the prime minister, it was just taken advantage of this turmoil." ”

Wu Ming's heart was as cold as ice, people like Zhu Huai are probably calculating all the time. In the past, he said to himself that Li Tie was good at calculation, and he worked every step of the way. But now in his own opinion, he and Li Tie are on par, or even surpassing, although Tao Yu is a little impulsive this time, but because of this, this matter broke out extremely suddenly, and it is not easy to control. But in the end, he still used it as a gun. I don't know if this Xianzhuang Niangniang has woken up now, if he didn't see this clearly, misjudged the shape, and did more out-of-the-ordinary things, it would not be wonderful, thinking of this, he was even more anxious, and he couldn't wait to fly back to Nanning immediately. Hurriedly asked, "Sun Dudu, when will we be able to teach the class?" ”

"Nanban's peace negotiation team should be on the road now, don't worry." Sun Yunlong obviously wanted to be crooked, and then explained: "The Nanban people really can't stand the fright, when I set off from Nanning, their letter of request for peace has been handed to Nanning, according to the schedule, you should be able to arrive in Guangyang in the next two days, and the imperial court will arrange for you to meet with the Nanban peace negotiation team, so as to protect you by the way." Don't worry, you can see Xiaoqing in a few days, don't worry. ”

Along the way, the protection is fake, I'm afraid I want to show off my strength. However, Wu Ming didn't bother to care so much, and flew to Nanning with all his thoughts. Sun Yunlong also saw Wu Ming's abnormality, thinking that he was still immersed in the thoughts of his other niece, He Yi, but he couldn't continue to say anything, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Have a good rest, tomorrow will announce the appointment of General Jian, keep it to surprise you." ”

Speaking of this, there was a joy in his tone that could not be hidden. It's just that Wu Ming's heart is in turmoil now, and he didn't hear what he said later, and he asked himself over and over again in his heart, what should he do if the Southern Han Dynasty really caused trouble to Xiao Wall?

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, but can you find the perfect solution? In any case, we must do our best to avoid such a tragedy.

Looking up at the night sky, the dark moon had already climbed into the night sky, and the night wind of midwinter swept the dark and dead Guangyang City like a broken blade.

The half-moon is like a knife, but it can't pierce the deep night at all.
