Chapter 6: Surrender
Before dawn the next day, Dan Fu was woken up by a rapid knock on the door, opened his eyes dimly, sat on the bed with his hands, and watched the door of the bedroom tremble, good guy, even the ashes on the door have fallen, this early morning to disturb people's dreams!
"Master! Master! Although the prince's voice was immature, it was like a sledgehammer suddenly falling, waking Dan Fu from his sleep, and he took three or five palace people to bang on the door of Dan Fu's bedroom.
What I knew was knocking on the door, and I didn't know that I thought I had met a mountain bandit, Dan Fu drooped his eyelids, lifted the quilt and got up, lowered his head and walked to the door, opened the door, the prince and a few little eunuchs fell in together, Dan Fu said with a loveless look: "Get up, you don't have to say goodbye." Turned around and yawned......
The little eunuch helped the prince up, he ran over, hugged Danfu, raised his little face and asked him: "Master, what fun did you bring me back yesterday?" ”
Dan Fu tilted his head slightly, squinted at the prince, and then raised his eyes to look at the dark sky outside the window, and pointed to the table casually, "It's all there......"
The prince immediately let go of him, turned around and threw himself on the table, Dan Fu thought about it, and suffered! With wide eyes, he shouted in horror: "Don't move! ”
The little hand that the prince had just stretched out hung in the air, slowly turned his head to look at Dan Fu, swallowed his saliva, and asked with a look of fear: "Master, master...... How...... What's wrong? ”
"Huh? No, it's nothing, it's just that you can't take it all away, it depends on your performance......" After Dan Fu explained, the prince breathed a sigh of relief, and he himself breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, you're scared to death!" The prince couldn't help it, and opened the cloth bag at once, "Zhong Kui Hunting Demons"? Master, what kind of book is this? "The prince has not seen any other books except the Four Books and the Five Classics, and this is even more unheard of.
Dan Fu hurriedly walked over, wrapped the cloth, and left only a copy of "Zhong Kui" on the table, "This is called a storybook, and it is a book that can tell stories." ”
The prince looked at the "baby" in his hand and liked it very much, "Master, you let it speak, I'll listen." ”
Dan Fu took the book from the prince's hand and began to read the story in the book to him vividly, and the prince listened to it with relish, this book was a fatal attraction for the prince, unlike those books in the past, which were extremely boring.
Dan Fu read and read, and fell asleep on the table, and the prince looked at it, what should I do? Just as he was talking about the highlights, he shook Dan Fu vigorously, "Master, wake up......"
Dan Fu ignored him and continued to sleep, although the prince was a little stubborn, but he was not a barbaric and unreasonable person, seeing that he couldn't wake up Dan Fu, he took the book and left silently.
Back to the main hall, the prince called all the palace people over, picked out a few who were slightly literate, and taught him to continue to read this book.
Those palace people are sweating for Danfu, looking at the momentum of the prince, I am afraid that "Xingshi asks for guilt", alas, those bottles and cans are going to suffer again! Taifu, Taifu, ask for more blessings......
The prince came to the door of Dan Fu, kicked the door open, Dan Fu sat up in shock, only to see the prince go up with an arrow step, and knelt down in front of Dan Fu, "Master, I have never knelt down anyone except for my father and queen mother, today, I kneel to the master, please teach me to read and write!" After speaking, he bowed respectfully to Dan Fu.
The palace people were dumbfounded, and they were dumbfounded! The little eunuch close to the prince slapped himself, it hurt! It's not a dream!
Dan Fu hurriedly helped him up, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't help this, how can he kneel to Weichen?" ”
"Please teach me to read and write!" This time, the prince really wants to read and write, and the master still has several books.
Soon, the matter of the East Palace spread in the palace, Nan Xiao heard the news, it was incredible, he secretly came to the East Palace, the guards at the door saw it, and as soon as he figured it out, he was gagged by the guards around Nan Xiao.
He secretly stood at the door, no longer as restless as before, without the painstaking persuasion of the palace people, without the sparse porcelain falling to the ground, without the stubborn frolic of the prince, Nan Xiao glanced up at the plaque on the door, East Palace, he smiled with satisfaction.
Nan Xiao walked into the courtyard lightly, and the guards immediately swarmed in, but there was no sound, and then surrounded him in an orderly manner, Nan Xiao stared at the hall, the items were placed in an orderly manner, the prince's hair was tied up with a crown, dressed neatly, sitting at the table in a regular manner, reading with Dan Fu carefully word by word, and the concentration was so focused that even someone in the courtyard did not notice.
Dan Fu saw Nan Xiao coming quietly from the reflection of the incense burner in the hall, and walked silently, the smile on his face quickly disappeared, in the Southern Jin Dynasty, he was rooted, but there were too many unknowns waiting for him in the future.
What Nan Xiao saw today was the picture he had looked forward to countless times day and night, and when he came out of the East Palace, he looked back again, "Dan Fu ......" Nan Xiao muttered in a low voice, and a smile appeared on his face.
……
In the tenth year of Tianbao, the national strength of the Eastern Yu Kingdom was growing stronger and stronger, and it often harassed the people on the border east of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and the Southern Jin Dynasty decided to recruit troops from Beili, and Nanxiao specially sent envoys to Beili to supervise this matter.
Beili Palace, shooting range.
"Good! The son of the world is amazing! It was Gu Beicheng's maidservant Yingge who spoke, seeing Gu Beicheng's accurate archery skills, and clapping his hands on the side.
When Gu Beicheng was one year old, Mrs. Zhuang Ji saw that she was a girl with a duty and was also smart, so she asked her to stay and serve Gu Beicheng closely, and Gu Beicheng was six years old in a flash.
"The arrow of the son of the world is very impatient, full of brute strength and lack of wisdom." General Li Zhen shook his head, "You don't have to boast about the world all day long, this is harming him!" ”
Yingge glanced at Li Zhen and made a grimace at him with her tongue out.
"Sister Yingge, let's let General Li Zhen see the power of this son!" Gu Beicheng glanced at Li Zhen.
This time he took three carved arrows from the quiver barrel, held the magpie painting bow in his left hand, put three arrows on the bow, straightened the swallowtail, buckled the tiger tendon string in his right hand, pulled a full bow, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Gu Beicheng's chin raised slightly, and he asked Li Zhen with a proud face, "What does the general think?" ”
Li Zhen still shook his head, "Arrows are long-range attacks, don't be impatient when you send arrows, endure when you should endure, wait for the opportunity, and be ready to kill with one blow!" ”
"Humph! Bear with me! Watching the Southern Jin Dynasty bully me Beili, my mother let me endure it every day, and I have to endure it when I shoot an arrow! Don't anymore! Gu Beicheng threw his bow and arrow to the ground, "Yingge!" Back to the palace! "Just ran away.
Yingge hurriedly picked up the bow and arrow, this is the favorite bow of the prince, and it must not be lost, and then quickly gave Li Zhen a salute, and hurriedly went to Gu Beicheng.
Gu Beicheng ran out of the shooting range, and before his entourage could put the ladder on the small stool, he climbed up to the car angrily, the little stool hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him, Gu Beili turned his head and scolded angrily: "Don't touch me!" ”
The little stool was confused by the roar, and when she saw Yingge running with a bow and arrow, she hurriedly whispered to her, "What's wrong with the son today?" ”
"What else? Our son can be greatly wronged today, and he blames General Li Zhen, which pot is not opened! After speaking, Yingge climbed into the carriage, "Don't ask, let's go......" bowed into the carriage.
After about a tea time, he heard the screams of a woman outside the carriage, Gu Beicheng lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw a person wearing a Southern Jin Dynasty official uniform standing at the door of the post station, looking indifferently at the woman kneeling on the ground, the woman used her body to protect a child of about three or four years old in her arms, her body was covered with blood, and a Southern Jin Dynasty soldier next to him raised the whip in his hand high, and was about to whip it on the woman, and scolded and said in his mouth: "You Beili pigs also dare to collide with adults!" ”
"Stop!" Gu Beicheng roared.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes at the gate of the post station looked towards the carriage, Yingge hurriedly covered his mouth, dragged him into the carriage, and whispered: "Shizi, no!" ”
When the soldier heard the sound, he walked over, and was just about to lift the curtain, Yingge quickly leaned out, knelt down and buckled his head and said: "My brother is still young and ignorant, I just offended an adult, I will accompany the adult for my brother!" Please let us go. ”
"Whose children are you?" The soldier asked.
Gu Beicheng was already on fire, and he was in a hurry to get out of the carriage at this time, but Yingge desperately stopped him with his hand, "Back to adults, we are the children of the Situ female medical officer's family." ”
"Forget it this time, pay attention next time, little brute!" As soon as the soldier turned around, he heard a "whoosh", and an arrow flew out of the carriage and passed through his chest, and the soldier fell down......
Yingge turned around and snatched the bow and arrow from Gu Beicheng's hand, and in an instant, the carriage was surrounded by the guards of the Southern Jin Dynasty!
"Who? Who put the arrows? The Southern Jin Dynasty official at the gate of the post station roared angrily, he had just been blocked by the soldiers, and before he could see clearly, the soldiers died.
A Southern Jin Dynasty commander immediately pulled out a sword and put it on Yingge's neck, and a few soldiers came up to hold the small stool with knives, Yingge slowly climbed out of the carriage, and quickly pulled the curtain with his hand, the commander saw that the bow and arrow were in her hand, and before he could say anything, a sword pierced Yingge's abdomen, and blood splashed everywhere!
As soon as the commander put away his sword, the soldiers also put away their swords, and he turned to the officials of the Southern Jin Dynasty and said, "Lord Qiqi, the prisoner has been punished!" ”
Yingge fell heavily on the wheels, the arrows fell out of the quiver barrel and spilled all over the ground, and the bow was still tightly held in her hand.
"Yingge!" The little stool let out a heart-rending cry, startling Gu Beicheng, he lifted the curtain, and Yingge fell in front of him covered in blood.
Seeing Gu Beicheng come out, Yingge handed him the bow, used all his strength, and said, "Don't come out......" After speaking, he swallowed his breath.
Gu Beicheng knelt beside Yingge's corpse, crying heartbreakingly, he stood up angrily, pointed at the people of the Southern Jin Dynasty and shouted: "You! You shameless people! What a guts! The people of this world dare to kill! ”
As soon as the little stool heard this, he pushed Gu Beicheng into the carriage with one palm, "drove", rode his horse and whipped, and headed towards the palace......
The commander of the Southern Jin Dynasty was about to chase after him, but was stopped by the official, "No need to chase!" The official looked at the carriage in the distance and said to himself, "Shizi? He slapped his head, "Quick!" Bring pen and paper! ”
