Ming Shan Xi (II)
Huangling Villa is a little walk away from Yinshan Road, and it is estimated that it will be possible to reach it in one day by riding a fast horse, but Chongzuo has taken out all his pockets, which is only enough for them to take a horse from the post station.
Lu Yi resolutely did not ride a horse with Chongzuo, he soaked it for a long time, borrowed a cloth towel from the five ladies in the teahouse and gave it to Lu Yi, and swore an oath: "If you wear this, no one will recognize you as Lu Yi." ”
Walking left and right for two or three days, horseback riding is indeed fast. Can......
On the one hand, she is indeed unwilling, and on the other hand, Chongzuo rides a horse with an injury, in case the wound breaks open?
After talking for a long time, Chongzuo couldn't resist Lu Yi, so he had to hurry up and get on the road. Fortunately, Yinshan Creek can be navigated by boat and waterway, and as soon as Chongzuo got on the boat, he stayed firmly on the bow of the boat and closed his eyes leisurely.
The boat opened, and so did Chongzuo's mouth.
After a while, he asked, "Does Miss Ah Yi like Lulan?" ”
Lu Yi replied: "I like begonia flowers. ”
"Oh, I thought you'd like Lulan, why Begonia?"
"You should know that there is a kind of begonia flower, the flowering is white and has no fragrance, just like the immortal who is not stained with mortal dust. There is also a kind of begonia, which does not wither and decay all year round, and it is always a warm color. One is clean, the other is warm, I used to like to pick begonia fruits......"
Lu Yi stopped suddenly, and the Xifu begonia in front of the window had not been opened for a long time.
She likes to sleep with flowers since she was a child, and she is even more obsessed with begonia flowers, perhaps because she realized that she had talked too much, she decisively shut up, but she didn't know that this was the purpose of Chongzuo.
As soon as he got on the boat, he reacted, this Lu Yiyin was obviously afraid of water. She sat by the side of the boat, but her eyes didn't dare to look at the lake, and the person was stiff, no wonder Yin Hui would threaten her with this before.
So how did she decide to jump into the lake by herself and not say Chongzuo?
He is unpredictable, but Lu Yi is also on the boat, and the six gods are like a man's back. For now, it's better to find something to say, so that she can forget for a moment that they are still on the water. Otherwise, according to the posture of her desperately grasping herself under the water that day, he was really afraid that she would not be able to stand it after a while.
"Have you ever eaten Qianzhou jelly?" He then asked.
"No, it won't be another relationship between you and the girl, right?"
Chongzuo saw that she was interested, so he took over the conversation and continued: "Yes, yes, I saved a girl in Qianzhou at that time, and that girl wrote in Yong'enlu that she would repay me with a lifetime of cold powder......"
Chongzuo made Lu Yi laugh, and it shouldn't be boring to go to Huangling Villa.
When the boat docked, the two were faced with a problem: where would they stay overnight?
When I asked the people on the boat, the old man pushed the boat away with a rod, leaving a shadow of indifference.
Lu Yi burned his eyebrows like fire, and Chongzuo still had injuries on his body, in case he ran into someone from Yin Hui......
Lu Yi was so anxious that Chongzuo walked two steps deeper into the grass on the riverbank unhurriedly, and complained: "Tsk, the humidity here is too heavy. ”
Chongzuo suddenly whistled, and the golden eagle circled down and landed steadily on his right arm. The master took the creed from it and sent it into the sky.
"It's too late, Princess Yongle's premises have been exposed." Chongzuo said as he looked at the creed.
Things are at an impasse. On the one hand, Yin Hui wants to arrest Chongzuo, and on the other hand, it is necessary for the princess to get it back. Once the princess was forcibly captured back to the palace by them, Lu Yan would be the first to be guillotined, and then Chongzuo and Lu Yi.
"You and Lu Yan rely on the clouds to send letters?" Lu Yi suddenly had a plan, "How long does it take to go back and forth?" ”
"Now they have moved to the inn in Huangling County, and if the clouds fly fast, they can be delivered in three hours."
"That's easy to do." Lu Yi said that her sister Lu Min has a Zhuangzi in Huangling, which is her dowry, and if she goes there, it will be safe, "My sister has a Zhuangzi in Huangling, called Qiushiyuan." You tell Lu Yan to tell them to go back and go there. Just do enough work and find a way to get out. ”
"Go back?" Chongzuo couldn't help but worry, "In this way, if Yin Hui finds out and attacks in the back, then we will be completely finished." ”
"Yin Hui won't send people back, besides, my sister's yard, even if he is bold, he won't dare to send someone to search it, it's just an orchard, he can't suspect it."
Chongzuo heard that this was indeed feasible, but he was also worried: "Don't forget, the premise of this is that the clouds must be able to fly faster, otherwise if the letter is delivered late, it will be a dead end." ”
Lu Yi stomped his feet: "Then you should write it and let it be sent!" ”
"It's so easy."
Lu Yi couldn't help but look at the golden eagle flying in the sky, its name was Yunjian, how could there be so many rules?
"How can you make it go faster?"
Chongzuo saw Lu Yi take the bait, and said with a smug smile: "My golden eagle has a strange personality, and only mutton can make it fly farther." ”
Lu Yi heard that he was talking nonsense, and said, "Then let's wait for the autumn to be beheaded." Three people head and one bird head, and meet at noon to go down to the Yellow Spring. ”
Lu Yi seemed to be angry, and Chongzuo said: "Miss Lu, I'm joking with you, I don't have any writing tools on my body now, I want it to lead the way by following the clouds first." ”
After following the clouds for a while, I saw a dilapidated wooden building with a large pile of straw piled inside. Judging from the style, it looks like a former restaurant. In those years, there were wars and conscriptions, and the family had no male to flee to other places to earn a living, which was probably abandoned at that time. There are still two or three broken wooden tables left in the wooden building, there is an abacus with broken beads on the desk, and a pipa is placed on the wooden shelf behind it.
Lu Yi looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but pick up the dusty pipa: "This family can still play the pipa, why is it dilapidated like this now?" ”
Chongzuo rummaged through the pen and ink, there must be an account book on this table, and there must be an account book without the pen and ink used to keep accounts. He replied while looking for it: "Miss Lu, do you know how many soldiers Your Majesty recruited for the war in the northwest back then?" ”
Lu Yi didn't say anything, but she knew that the number would not be less. His two elder brothers went to the battlefield at a young age, and they came back with dozens of scars and blood......
Chongzuo continued: "That year, the age of conscription was lowered from 17 to 15 years old, and there were 30,000 more young soldiers. The battle of Wolf River Slope lasted for two months, and only half of the 30,000 people were fought. ”
He said lightly, but he pulled the tightest string in his heart.
In the twenty-eighth year of Taiyang, the Baishuo people crossed the Great Wall to occupy the northwest border. Emperor Taiyang sent troops to regain the lost territory, and the Hou Shizi of Ding'an took command of the general of Jibei and led the Shen army to penetrate from the right side of the enemy, but was ambushed and defeated in Anyang, which was far away from the battlefield. The Baishuo people clamored into Anyang, and the war lasted until half a month later, when the imperial court sent heavy troops to beat the Baishuo people to the Wolf River Slope, and the pro-holy decree sent the whole country to Princess Yongning to pray for her.
However, just when the people of Dazhao thought that the days of peace were coming, Princess Yongning and the guards escaped from marriage. The leader of Bai Shuo knew that he was outnumbered, and he would lose both sides in the fight, so Princess Jinnan married the prince who was a full eight years older than him.
Fight and stop, people are almost dead, and they are married, and a marriage of politics and metallurgy is used to maintain the peace of fire reduction. But only four years later, the Baishuo people once again provoked disputes in the Wolf River Slope, the war broke out again, Princess Jinnan committed suicide in shame, and within a month of fighting, the court was going to make peace again.
Chongzuo has long been tired of the style of Dazhao, Yin Yin is strong and can fight, but he hesitates under the banner of serving the people. Yin Yin has killed many people, but he still has to maintain the demeanor of a great country, and he has fueled the arrogance of the Baishuo people again and again.
Either fight, take back the northwest, and protect the people.
Either you don't fight, inside and outside the Great Wall, you will be abducted.
