Seven Star Pavilion Chapter Fifty-Eight: Dead Yuan Zhi is empty

Lijiang, mainly located in the Song Kingdom, is a tributary of the Yangtze River. On the border between the Song State and Yan and Chu, the Grand Canal was originally used as a waterway for transportation, and the ships were really like carp crossing the river.

However, its own turbulent water, surrounded by mountains on both sides of the river, is mostly a no-man's land, and the road twists and turns are difficult to facilitate business travel, and it is slowly replaced by the Grand Canal, which arose later.

Today's Lijiang, although there are still some ships coming and going in Yan and Chu, they are only active in a small area, such as the Yan and Song in the upper reaches and the Song and Chu in the downstream.

In the middle section, there are clouds since ancient times: "Seven hundred miles away from the middle section of the river, there are mountains on both sides of the river, and there is no place." The mountains are stacked on top of each other, the sky is hidden, and the moon is not seen at midnight in the non-pavilion!"

In today's cold winter, the riverside is wet and cold, and many rich children are eager to wrap two quilts on their bodies. However, those who can stand the cold or are used to it only feel extraordinarily sober and do not complain so much.

"I said, young master, aren't you really cold? Why don't you come in and talk, it's going to take a long time!"

The man who spoke, now wrapped in a quilt and carrying a stove in his hand, was in the boat and said to the people outside the cabin.

"It's not cold! It's rare to see such a magnificent mountain and river scenery, how can you shrink into the cabin and be a turtle with a shrunken head......! Xiao Zhang!"

The son in the man's mouth has a delicate complexion, delicate facial features, melon seed face, willow eyebrows, high nose bridge, cherry lips, and his eyes are not big, but on this small face, he can be regarded as quite spiritual. The body is slender, and it looks thinner than the average young and strong man, and at first glance it is the little white face that the old men say.

The "Xiao Zhang" inside looked embarrassed and embarrassed, and the atmosphere on the whole ship suddenly became a little discordant, and the other people in the cabin looked at this boy standing outside with some anger.

"You're the shrunken turtle!"

A child replied angrily, obviously, a little angry at the words of this little white-faced boy who overturned a boatload of people with a rod.

The boy hurriedly recovered from the longing and relaxed demeanor just now. Looking at the other four people on the boat, he was suddenly a little embarrassed and ashamed.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

I saw that the old man who was leading the child hurriedly pulled the child over, and said with a kind smile: "It's okay, the child is ignorant, please don't be weird!"

The little boy pursed his lips angrily, and turned his head to look at the child. The other two people looked like two young, one was a little rich, wearing gold and silver all over his body, obviously he was also a rich child, he was obviously a little unhappy about being scolded as a "turtle", nodded politely, and continued to shrink into his quilt.

The person next to him was probably his friend, and he was tightly circumscribed. His face and lips are a little pale, and he looks like he is sick. He just smiled and didn't react.

The boy also restrained himself for a while, and returned to the cabin to stay with his subordinates, Xiao Zhang. Xiao Zhang, who was also a little embarrassed, was a little indignant at this time.

"It's ...... that I apologized and didn't give a good face."

The son next to him hurriedly stopped him and continued.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's my own rudeness!"

Obviously, this boy is still very polite, complaining to his subordinates, and smiling apologetically in time.

"If it weren't for the turbulent water of this one or two hundred miles of waterway, the reefs are thick, and the big ships are difficult to pass, who is rare to be embarrassed here!"

"Hugh be rude!"

Brother Gongzi's voice became louder, and the other people in the cabin looked at the master and servant duo and thought it was funny, the two were obviously master and servants, so it felt like a father with his naughty son, the key is that this "son" is still his own subordinate.

The subordinate Xiao Zhang looked angry, and just like the child just now, his mouth bulged out angrily, and he twisted his head to the other side.

The boy looked a little ashamed, got up and bowed, and said apologetically: "It's me who can't discipline me, and I'm so offended!"

The old man nodded peacefully, and the chubby rich boy looked at Xiao Zhang with disgust, but he still replied politely, "It's okay", and the young man who was tightly surrounded by his whole body and looked a little sick still didn't speak.

Probably because he was afraid that the atmosphere on the ship would be embarrassing again, the boy brother opened the conversation box first.

"In Xia Zhonghuai, Yangzhou people, I don't know what you call it?"

Hearing the word Yangzhou, the old man seemed to have more thoughts in his eyes, and the strict young man also looked at the boy brother a little deliberately.

The old man wanted to see the thoughts of this son, arched his hands and said, "Old man Jiang Rengui, this is my grandson Jiang Yu'er." Our grandparents and grandchildren are coming and going here on the river, even if they are from the river. ”

This Jiang Yu'er also saluted when he saw his grandfather, although he was a little unhappy, but he also learned to make a salute.

"In Xia Li Xing, a native of Fuzhou!"

The rich fat boy also replied politely, after all, they are people in the same boat, and they have to stay together for two or three days.

Suddenly there was silence for a while, and everyone looked at the young man who was wrapped up tightly.

"Lin Mang, from Ningzhou!"

The old man seemed to think of something, and in an instant he just smiled, and did not react otherwise.

"The old man also stayed in Yangzhou when he was young, and now it must still be prosperous and prosperous!"

The old man asked with a smile at the young man Zhong Huai.

"There are a lot of rich people in Yangzhou, but in the past two years, the newly appointed prefect and the governor of Yangzhou have colluded with businessmen and people, and the people are fishing, which looks on the bright side, Yangzhou is getting richer and richer, but the silver has all flowed into the officials and businessmen, and the people are not rich!"

This Zhong Huai Gongzi's face was full of sorrow, and he seemed to have a deep feeling about the situation in Yangzhou.

"I didn't expect that more than 40 years have passed, and this day has actually become the same as before, hey!"

The old man's face was sad, and he seemed to remember those old things in the past.

"Grandpa! Yangzhou, is it the Yangzhou that came out of King Jingwu!"

The boy named Jiang Yu'er asked with some curiosity.

"Do you know King Jingwu too, kid?"

Xiao Zhang looked at Jiang Yu'er with some smugness, with a proud expression on his face, as if he was King Jingwu.

"Who doesn't know? Grandpa and many other old men, they have to tell me some stories about King Jingwu after dinner, and I am about to recite them!"

Jiang Yu'er also said helplessly, obviously passively listening to the story about King Jingwu for a long time.

"His family's ancestral house is near our son's house!"

The old man narrowed his eyes and touched his beard thoughtfully. The chubby rich kid looked shocked, and the strict young man next to him also looked at Zhong Huai and Xiao Zhang with some curiosity.

Xiao Zhang's eyebrows fluttered, obviously with a very proud and proud look.

"It's not your home!"

Jiang Yu'er replied, probably because the anger just now had not subsided, and he deliberately wanted to hit this Xiao Zhang, who was not a few years older than herself.

"You!"

Xiao Zhangqi felt hot all over his body, and the quilt couldn't contain the fire. However, Zhong Huai, the son next to him, smiled and stopped Xiao Zhang, who was about to find Xiao Yuer's theory, with one hand.

"Dare to ask General Zhong Yaonian and Gongzi ......"

The old man looked at the young man Zhong Huai in a trance, and when he heard the name "Zhong Yaonian", Jiang Yu'er put away his grimace at Xiao Zhang, and the other two people also looked at the young boy.

"It's Grandfather!"

Except for Xiao Zhang, everyone else's eyes were full of surprise. This legendary brother of King Jingwu, a veteran who also made immortal feats with King Jingwu's southern expedition to the north and south, is actually the grandfather with a little white face in front of him.

The old gentleman was shocked, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, looking at this young man who walked the rivers and lakes but had no city government at all, and would not hide in a low-key manner.

"I see, I'm glad I will! I wonder if the old general is in good health?"

The old gentleman asked with concern.

"Although my grandfather also has a lot of old injuries, his body is still very tough, and he often shouts that the guards in the house accompany him to practice martial arts!"

Zhong Huai replied with a smile.

"That's good! That's good!

The old man seemed to feel a burst of relief, he stroked his beard and said to himself: "Thinking back to the past, King Jingwu and General Zhong and others leveled the troubled times, supported the society, expanded the rivers and mountains, and opened the peace, what a majestic and heroic hair!"

"Bo Chang Bo Chang, Zhongzhou is cold. The Song Kingdom has three thousand miles in the world, three points for Emperor Zhao, and seven points for Bochang!"

Jiang Yu'er took the opportunity to read the comment on the tiger general's list on the Jingwu King Lin Bochang, but it made the entire cabin feel a wave of enthusiasm!

"Now it's just a dry bone, although the world still sings his story, but the royal family of the capital has long left these things out of the clouds!"

The first time the strict young man spoke, it was on this topic. The others looked at him with some surprise, even the fat rich boy who was with him.

Zhong Huai seems to have been paying attention to this young man for a long time, although he is wrapped in only one face, although his complexion is not good, but his face is very handsome and exquisite, and there is always a faint melancholy and coldness in his eyes, which makes people a little afraid to approach.

In Kyoto, the eldest prince of the Jingwu palace killed Cao Heng, the seventh prince of Wei, and assassinated Zhao Yilin, the third prince of the Song State, and seriously injured him. So at this time, everyone also knew very well what this strict person meant.

"That doesn't affect the historical status of King Jingwu, even if the person is no longer alive, if you pronounce Lin Bochang's name in the Song Kingdom or other countries in Zhongzhou, don't you give a thumbs up everywhere!"

Xiao Zhang seemed to be a little dissatisfied with this son's words, obviously he felt that this young man had some little respect for King Jingwu.

"That's it!"

Jiang Yu'er stood on the united front with Xiao Zhang at this time.

"I don't know much about the Song Kingdom, if you pronounce the words 'Lin Bochang' or 'King Jingwu' in other countries, I guess you will have to be beaten!"

The young man Yan Yan said with some jokingness, and the old man next to him, Jiang Rengui, the fat man Li Xing, and the little white-faced boy Zhong Huai couldn't help laughing. There were only two smaller Jiang Yu'er and Xiao Zhang left, but they felt that they had suffered a loss, and they couldn't be angry.

"That also shows that King Jingwu has a great influence, those people did it just because they were scared by King Jingwu, it was really put in the past, let alone do it, it was not unusual for him to pee his pants!"

Jiang Yu'er took the lead in replying, and Xiao Zhang next to him nodded hurriedly in agreement.

"Dead Yuan knows that everything is empty, a dead person can't pose any threat and intimidation, and it may be okay to scare and scare little children, but now that Jingwu Wangfu is in the Song Kingdom, it can only be said to be pitiful, and in the eyes of other countries in Zhongzhou, only ridiculous is left!"

Now Xiao Zhang and Jiang Yu'er were even more angry, and they tried to say something to refute, but they didn't seem to think of anything to say, because whatever they said, the strict young man had a similar answer - just a dead person, and everything will be over if he dies!

Everyone else was savoring the sentence "Death Yuan knows that everything is empty", and that Zhong Huai Gongzi just lowered his head and sighed, as if he was sad for a while. And the fat man Li Xing just glanced at the companion and silently didn't make a sound. And the old man's eyes were full of cloudiness, and his expression was a little confused.

"You're a bad person!"

"Yes, bad guys!"

The two children felt that they couldn't talk about him, and after saying this sentence angrily, they just stared at the stern young man with wide eyes. The young man smiled and didn't pay much attention to it.

"Haha! The child is ignorant, and I hope the son will not be surprised!"

The old man seemed to have been scolded by his grandson like this, and he had recovered from his distraction.

"Yes, please don't meet him in general. ”

Zhong Huai also said apologetically.

"It's okay, Tong Yan is unscrupulous. I actually like the way they are simple and innocent!"

Yan Yan's son said with a smile.

"Childe doesn't have any problems with King Jingwu!"

Zhong Huai looked at the young man curiously and asked.

"No! No! No! Like you, I respect King Jingwu's great achievements from the bottom of my heart. It's just that today's Song Kingdom has lived and worked in peace and contentment for decades under the merits of King Jingwu, which is too comfortable. It's so comfortable that I think that the world is already rich in things, so comfortable that I think that the Song Kingdom has become strong and strong, and so comfortable that I think that this peace will last. Forgetting Lin Bochang is not terrible, but forgetting the troubled times before Lin Bochang, forgetting the hundreds of thousands of forest bones under the peace of the past few decades, chilling the hearts of loyal ministers and good generals and all the people in the world, that is really terrible!"

The stern young man's face became more and more pale, and he even coughed.

"What Childe said is very true, but these words can't be heard by heaven, even if they go up, the sky may not listen to them!"

The old man shook his head sadly and said with a sigh.

Xiao Zhang and Jiang Yu'er next to him seemed to be unable to interject at this time, what is the sky? Could it be that the emperor is talking about it?

"Childe, maybe the emperor will listen to the master's words and ask him to write a letter begging the emperor to spare the master's grandson-in-law!"
