Summer Solstice III
Huo Yunyang set off on the third watch, and when the dew was not shining, he had already stepped into the gate of Pingcheng. The tone above, naturally, is to check the security of Pingcheng, in fact, is to meet Tuoba Milling in person.
He is the second son of the Huo family, but what he has learned since he was a child is different from Huo Yunsheng. Huo Zhun's cultivation varies from person to person, so Huo Yunyang is more good at soldiers. In the past few years, he has been stationed in Ningcheng, firmly occupying half of the northwest, and the Huo family in the DPRK and China have responded to each other and complemented each other. To put it nicely, it's Wei Long's left arm and right arm, and if it's not good, it's a division of courtesy.
This weather, Pingcheng is still early spring, and the climate is very good. Lu Wen'an was busy with the secret passage, and he relaxed a little. His position in Pingcheng is different from the past, but he still has three or four hours a day to spend three or four hours on the city tower, and without doing other actions, he stares at the city gate.
Everyone else knows what he is trying to do, so he has to come to please him and say, "Master An, this job is windy and sunny, you can't do it every day, we all have two eyes as four to help you keep an eye on it." ”
Lu Wenan was still as temperamental as usual, and he didn't say much, if there was a little bit of silver on his body, he would take it out. Since he became the person in front of Huo Xiaoyan, others didn't dare to pick it up at first, but later found out that this An Yu is still the An Yu before, as long as he doesn't get the son he is looking for, it really can't beat a fart with eight sticks, so there is only a little flattery left in his mouth.
On this day, Lu Wenan stood on the city wall early in the morning, watching Huo Yunyang and his party enter the city from afar. Naturally, he didn't know Huo Yunyang, but when he saw Han people riding horses from far and near, he began to panic. Even though he quickly recognized that it was impossible for Xue Ling, he still couldn't stop covering his chest, leaning against the wall, gasping for air.
After taking a breath, I inexplicably thought of the saying that father and son are connected. He is a rough man, and he really doesn't have any ink in his stomach, just his own name, which was still learned by his parents and drawing on the ground with a wooden stick for several days and nights. Besides, what kind of father and son are he and Xue Ling?
However, Lu Wen'an had this kind of premonition, and when he came back from Ancheng, there were pictures flashing in his mind day and night. When he was asleep, napping, and even wandering, he felt that Xue Ling was going to beat his horse and whip him, and he came roaring for this peaceful city.
Not for defense, on the contrary, for attack. So much so that he couldn't tell whether he was looking forward to Xue Ling's return, or was he afraid that Xue Ling would return.
In the evening, Tuoba Mill also entered the city, deliberately covering up his appearance, and it was Huo Wei's residence directly by carriage, so few people saw it. Except, of course, for Lu Wenan. Although he did not enter the house to accompany him, he watched Tuoba Mill and his party enter the house.
Back then, with Xue Yihan's battle, Xianbei was still Tuoba Mill's father as the king, and it was rare to meet the main master on the battlefield, Lu Wen'an naturally didn't know Tuoba Mill's status. And the appearance of the Hu people is similar, he thought it was the Qiang people.
The matter of Liang and Liang trading is already well known. However, the people of Anseong walk on the Anseong line every day. If you change a little scheming, you may wonder if the Shen family wants to eat both, and the Shen family came to curry favor with the Huo family. But although Lu Wenan is slick, he rarely has a real calculating mind, he can't think so far, and he doesn't know what everyone is talking about when he touches his head. And he deserves to be worthy of the country in his life, at this time, I really didn't think that the Huo family would collude with Xianbei secretly. Just stay outside the door, planning to be able to eavesdrop on a little bit, and if you can't overhear, you will wait for the time to cheat that Huo Yu.
Tuoba Milling is the master of one department, and a few people go deep into Pingcheng, which can be regarded as taking a great risk. After all, this city is the land of the Liang people, and if there is an ambush, it will be difficult for him to get out alive. But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the situation in the Liang Dynasty can always leak so little into the eyes of those who care. The Huo family is in Liang State, and it seems that it is in full swing. In fact, it is like fire and water with Emperor Liang. The east and west winds are incompatible, and they can't retreat, Tuoba Mill has learned these Han people's ways since childhood, and he thinks he is proficient, so he chose a few guards with advanced martial arts, and the Malaysian golden knife came to the appointment.
What's more, a few days ago, he had forced Huo Zhun to hand over the recital, and with Wei Long's character, he could guess the result. Therefore, unless the Huo family's brains let the wolf bite, they would never dare to play tricks at this time and fight with him.
Huo Yunyang was already sitting in the banquet, and when he saw Tuoba Milling coming in, he stood up and hugged his fist, making a gesture of invitation.
Several Xianbei people were slightly dissatisfied, although the two sides were discussing important matters, Tuoba Milling was the king, Huo Yunyang was no more than the Liang people's courtiers, and he did not give a big gift, so he really had a deliberate gesture of contempt. Tuoba Mill didn't care, waved his hand, motioned for a few people to sit down first, and saw that there was nothing unusual, before he sat down and said, "I have seen Brother Ling, the Huo family is really a talent." ”
"King Tuoba is gracious, please". As Huo Yunyang spoke, he picked up the wine jug and poured two glasses, and drank it all to show that it was not poisonous.
Tuoba Milling didn't twist it, and he didn't prevent the cup from moving his hands and feet, but he also drank it all, and showed the bottom of the cup to Huo Yunyang, and said: "Liang people are clear in wine, sweet and mellow in taste, and this king likes it." ”
"The king is refreshing, both sides are coming from afar, don't talk about business tonight, one drunk party rests, one drunk party rests." Huo Wei danced and beckoned everyone to drink and eat. The sheep on the shelf had been roasted thoroughly, and the soup in the basin was bubbling. In the corner, the musician began to play the piano, although it was a Liang song, but because it was a folk tune in the northwest, it sounded bold, with the figure of the dancer Hu Xuan, the atmosphere was very joyful.
The two sides feasted and drank until the early hours of the morning. is so lively, it is rare for someone to ask about it, Huo Wei has already explained, saying that it is a businessman, and there is nothing suspicious. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, who can recognize the drunken man as Tuoba Milling.
Only Lu Wenan jumped up and down all night, impatient. Finally waited until the people dispersed, and felt into Huo Wei's door. Tuoba Milling was pretending to be drunk, but Huo Wei was really drunk, and fell on the bed, his mouth full of nonsense. Lu Wenan screamed several times, but he still couldn't wake him up, he was angry and anxious, so he directly pulled up and slapped him twice. Huo Wei, who was beaten, finally sobered up a little, shook his head and saw that it was Lu Wen'an, and then felt a hot pain on his face, not doubting that it was Lu Wen'an, and thought it was serious drunkenness. But it was scary enough to have an extra man in the room, and immediately a carp stood up, kicked Lu Wenan to the ground, and said, "You are crazy, come to Lao Tzu's room in the middle of the night." ”
Lu Wenan covered his chest and asked impatiently: "Master, what are the Hu people doing in our city, those people are all Hu people, how can we deal with the Hu people." ”
Huo Wei began to faint again, he knew that this An Yu was a Hu person except for his son, and the Hu people who came to the city also ate together, such a big reaction was normal, for the sake of daily loyalty, he didn't bother to care, and there was no reason to delay his sleep.
He already took Lu Wen'an as half of his own, and he was drunk and hazy, so he didn't take the pretense of "Qianren businessman", and said casually: "We are just a shrimp, the world is the emperor's business, you call him a Hu and a Han." ”
Lu Wen didn't ask what he wanted to know, he refused to give up, and said with a red face, "How can I care, my son, my son ......"
Huo Wei interrupted Lu Wen'an's words impatiently and said, "Your son, your son... Your son's life is not good, don't I let the whole city help you keep an eye on it, An Yu, I have a heart and lungs for you, don't kick your nose in the face, get out quickly. ”
"After that, Pingcheng will not be full of Hu people?" Lu Wenan choked his neck, stood up and looked at Huo Wei viciously, and deliberately guided the topic to the matter of Liangliang trade. If he really came for business, then he had nothing to do. It's hard to fucking say anything about the world, there was a war yesterday, and it is unknown if Ming'er will marry a princess, let alone do a small business.
Huo Wei just wanted Lu Wenan to go out quickly, he knew that An Yu had a bit of kung fu, and he was stupid, and there would be more places to use it in the future, so he patted Lu Wen'an on the shoulder and said: "No, no, how can we have the same blessing as the Shen family to envelop foreign races, I think." You go back quickly, after two days, the smell of sheep in this city will not be so strong, and this beard is not easy to serve. ”
Lu Wenan's head stiffened, and he scolded and went out. He didn't know who Tuoba Mill's surname was or why he came from, but he knew that it was not a Qianren who came. It is impossible for a man to stay for two days and then leave, and never come again.
Tuoba Mill and his party lived in a room, and Tuoba Mill, who had just been supported by someone all the way, immediately changed as soon as he entered the house, pushed away the guards, and poured a cup of tea to relieve his hangover. Tonight, the two sides really talked about some customs and customs, and they didn't mention the big things that the two planned at all. Huo Zhun is an old thing, he taught his son well, he dealt with Huo Yunsheng in Liangjing City three years ago, and the two of them were quite-for-tat, and now when they see this Huo Yunyang, they are not far behind. You came and went, and you didn't get the slightest bargain.
If there is anything that has to be discussed in person, it is really not. After all, they didn't plan to fight, they just wanted to get some benefits from it. It stands to reason that this can be settled with only a few letters. On both sides, they are human spirits, and they want to reap the benefits, but they also want the other party to be unable to reap the benefits, so they can only count on their own alms to eat. Therefore, this Liang business has sent Su Yuanyu to the Jinluan Palace, and the Huo family and Tuoba Milling are still so gentle.
It wasn't until Huo Zhun saw the situation in Chen's Mansion and felt that it was imminent, so he took the risk and sent Huo Yunyang to meet him. Of course, Tuoba Milling was happy to see it, he deliberately dragged Huo Zhun along, but in fact, he was also anxious. The Hu people are already a plate of loose sand, and in recent years, Xianbei has been regarded as a forced one, and some iron-fisted measures are indispensable in the middle. If Wei Long really bent on helping the karma up, as far as Xianbei was concerned, it would be really troublesome internally and externally. He also urgently needs to pull an ally, after all, with more grain and more grass, there is a saying that the soldiers are fat and the horses are strong.
So they hit it off, Huo Zhun handed the chapter to Wei Long, and he also set off into Pingcheng.
The night wind in Pingcheng is whistling, and it is also piercing the face. If it's not a karma, who can it be? Lu Wenan took advantage of the moonlight and stepped on the city tower again. I threw a piece of gravel that I had just picked up and fell heavily under the city wall. It's too high, and the sound of landing is inaudible.
Touching a few holes in his left arm with his right hand, his face has not been so dignified for decades, and under the stimulation of the moonlight, it became more and more pale, looking a little lively, like a porcelain fetal god offered in the temple. He stood like this all night, until the distance was the color of a fish's belly, and the early summer mist made the junction of heaven and earth blank.
Lu Wenan took a long breath, hid what he was thinking, and greeted the pawn on duty with a smile, no different from usual.
In Pingcheng, it's the Xianbei people who came.
