Chapter 38 The road is long
After Xue Shang and Zhang Xing arrived at the barracks, they were mixed with recruits and veterans to participate in winter training.
The training was based on the Zhichong Governor's Mansion, with two captains on the left and right each leading two infantry teams and a group of cavalry. Five people are a team, and every ten people are a team.
Xue Shang and Zhang Xing were both in the cavalry team, and the cavalry was the elite of the army at that time.
On the first day of training, the lieutenant first made a pre-training mobilization: "Brothers, you are standing here, and behind you are thousands of fathers, elders, brothers and relatives. Sweating more now is to shed less blood on the battlefield. ”
The two captains were both from Shuzhong, and after mobilizing the soldiers to wave the flag, more than 200 strong men responded loudly: "Remember the commander's instructions." ”
The cavalry was equipped with iron armor on their bodies, legs, and hands.
Xue Shang carried this outfit on his back and ran ten kilometers. In addition, two groups of men immediately fought with guns.
Shu is damp and cold in winter, and when the sun shows his face, he is still half-covered in the fog.
After a day of training, my clothes were soaked and sticky to my body. Flying dust and sweat mixed together, and the face was dusty.
The recruits all walked back to camp with their legs in tow. Taking off the armor on the body, it is as if moving away a mountain, and the body is so light that it wants to fly.
The next day, when I got up, the horn sounded, and I felt pain all over my body. The iron piece still has to be hung on the body. Today's 10 kilometers are heavy at the beginning.
He and Zhang Xing fell farther and farther apart. The lieutenant followed him and whipped them with a horsewhip. He gritted his teeth and ran two steps.
The return is downhill, the mechanical steps of the two. didn't grasp the balance, Zhang Xing fell headlong, he lay on the ground and couldn't afford to rely on it.
The captain came up and kicked twice, "Bad seed, I can't stand this bit of suffering, how to face the danger on the battlefield?" ”
Zhang Xing rolled a few times, and then rolled back like this. Xue Shang helped him up, and the two of them supported him and persevered.
Liu Ye received the letter again, and the level of handwriting was obviously regressed and soft.
Because Xue Shang practiced archery and fighting, he had blood blisters on his hands, and it hurt to raise his arms higher.
When people are in trouble, they feel homesick and miss their loved ones. His beautiful, lovely, and gentle wife, why did he leave her?
He's sweating it all over here. The wife who grew up in a honey pot since she was a child, she is thousands of miles away and has to face the embarrassing days alone.
His delicate wife, he is not around and there is no one to protect her, is she okay?
How beautiful his days were with her, but ambition drove him away, and he wondered if it was necessary.
Between the lines are Xue Shang's lingering thoughts and concerns. Between the lines, Xue Shang did not mention the hard work and difficulty of training.
Willow leaves stood by the well, and the shadows on the water swayed with the waves. She seemed to see two figures leaning against each other again.
Her tears wet the letterhead. Tears broke the calm of the water, and her shadow dispersed with the waves.
Willow Ye stared blankly at the four corners of the sky. She is alone, and she works hard to get by. The husband is thousands of miles away, and he gets up and climbs in the middle of the night.
She abandoned her relatives and family, what is she looking for? Coolness welled up from all fours.
After the change of manna, every time he went to the court, Wenzong and the hundred officials took a look, and then drove back to the palace, and he began to passively avoid the government.
Wenzong came to the Yilan Palace.
Concubine Yang Xian combed a jade ring flying fairy bun, the phoenix on both sides of the temples was swayed with jade, the temples were decorated with jade phoenixes, and the pearls and feathers formed a peacock opening screen flower crown.
She wore a long vermilion dress with a purple gauze blouse and a purple veil painted with a flowing cloud and phoenix pattern.
Concubine Yang Xian was born with a beautiful face and moon appearance, and bowed down with a curling grace, "The concubine greets the holy driver." ”
Wen Zong hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, "Concubine Ai doesn't have to make this big gift." Seeing Concubine Yang Xian, Wenzong's depressed mood was relieved a lot.
Tang Wenzong advocated frugality, and he practiced it himself.
At the beginning of his accession, he ordered the release of palace maids and the reduction of the number of musicians in the teaching workshop. Stop making additional offerings and paying tribute to exotic objects. He doesn't like to have fun.
But for Concubine Yang Xian, he always wants to give her the best things.
Concubine Yang Xian is not only beautiful as a flower, but also empathetic. Sometimes Wenzong recruited King Ying to play against him, and King Ying's chess skills were slightly better.
When Wenzong was at a disadvantage and defeat was decided. There will always be a little bit of a situation where the board is disrupted.
Wen Zong often said: "The concubine is my interpretation flower." ”
"Ai Concubine, I have slackened in political affairs." Wen Zong sat on the couch.
"Your Majesty will bow down to everything, be diligent in government and love the people, if there is peace today, the country is rich and the people are safe. This is the blessing of all the people and the blessing of the world. ”
Concubine Xian is as tender as water, and she is very useful to Wenzong. "Today's concubine has a new song dedicated to Your Majesty."
Tang Wenzong's poem "Joyful Rain in Late Spring"
The wind and clouds are happy, and the thunderstorms are flowing.
Recommend the coin to show the gift, and think about it.
Gradually invaded the Nine Summer Festival, and returned to the third spring.
The haze hangs down and floats into the green.
The suburbs are wet, and the millet has a good season.
Hundreds of recreation, all directions.
Concubine Xian composed music and sang, plucked the strings with her hands, and her lips opened lightly. For the time being, Wenzong left behind the helplessness of being subject to political affairs.
In the past six months, Jiang Yao has made secret visits on several rivers where merchant ships gather.
One merchant was unable to reach the port where they usually berthed in time due to wind and waves.
In a place where many merchant ships gathered, the water pirates did not dare to take action easily.
It was a new day, a dark night. The wind whistled and the window paper whirled.
The people on the merchant ship were tired after a day's journey. For the lone merchant ships, this situation made them uneasy.
The water thieves have a clear understanding of the large-scale businesses that come and go. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves.
As expected, a group of black-clad and masked men swayed and rushed towards them like arrows.
The merchant guards desperately resisted and released fireworks for help.
When the charter ferry arrived carrying Jiang Yao, the merchant ship was crumbling. The thieves who had plundered the goods were about to leave.
Jiang Yao also had no intention of fighting, so he caught a live mouth. Familiar with the nature of the water, Bao Du searches for survivors on a crumbling merchant ship.
On the deck and in the cabin, there were dead bodies everywhere. There were crews of merchant ships, there were corpses of bandits.
There was a hole in the bottom of the ship, and the river water poured into the ship, and the mast toppled over. The ship is gradually sinking. Blood stained the river red.
Bao Du rescues a seriously injured teenager from a merchant ship.
The thief recounted a big order fourteen years ago. They stepped on the line for a long time and finally found their chance.
It was also such a night, and today's tragedy is a remake of 14 years ago.
Jiang Yao seemed to see his father buried in the river covered in blood. His grandfather traveled back and forth, worked hard for many years to earn the family business, and was looted by thieves.
He took the heads of thieves by the river to pay tribute to the souls of his relatives. It was Jia Jinbao and Jia Yinbao who killed his relatives.
The sky has eyes! Bao Du followed Jiang Yao and searched for more than half a year in the Golden River, and finally found out the original culprit of the blood feud.
The thief told about the past was said by Jia Jinbao and Jia Yinbao, two brothers after drinking. The two brothers relied on this big order to save their family business.
Jiang Yao settled in Xunyang, and the captain followed Jiang Yao. The two rented a house in Xunyang and settled down.
