The next day, Kitayama Castle Taishou Mansion.

Huang Yan set up a banquet to wash the dust for the rain and white.

During the banquet, in addition to the four people, there was also Mrs. Taishou and the other three guards in charge.

Mrs. Taishou is an ordinary gateway woman from Beishan from an ordinary background, although she is not that kind of elegance, but she is also down-to-earth and generous. Elegant manners, virtuous and dignified.

According to Huang Yan, the delicacies on this large table are still cooked by herself. For this reason, he reluctantly took out a pot of Yulu elixir that he had brought from the capital when he took office, and the wine pot was much smaller than the one he had drunk in Yumaguan when Yuluobai had drunk it.

It can be seen that our Taishou is really "stingy".

The lady filled the wine glasses for a few people, retreated to Huang Yan's side and sat down quietly, with a breeze between her eyebrows, gentle as jade.

Huang Yan got up, his face was full of joy, and he said with a smile, "Today is the county... The little nephew took the wind, and everyone drank it bitterly, but the elixir was not enough, and he had my own Beishan wine. As he spoke, the servant, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, carried up several large wine vats, which were so large that the sound of the wine hitting inside could be heard clearly.

The servants stepped back and waited for orders.

Huang Yan raised his glass, said a few words casually, and everyone raised their glasses and drank the elixir in the cup together.

It is the first time for the crossbow man to drink this jade dew elixir, the wine is fragrant but not greasy, the taste is like morning dew, taste it carefully, the sweet aftertaste is long, and it makes people suddenly float fairy.

Mrs. Taishou, who was drinking, had a graceful posture and a light veil on her sleeves to hide her face, although she was not from everyone's background, she showed everyone's temperament.

Huang Yan drank the wine in the cup, waved his hand, and beckoned everyone to sit down. He looked at the crossbowman and smiled, and said, "I haven't heard that the little nephew introduced the little real person, and I don't know where the little real person came from." ”

The crossbowman seemed to be still immersed in the aftertaste of the elixir, and when he heard Lord Taishou's question, he hurriedly came back to his senses, "My lord is polite, but it is Xiaodao's negligence, and he has not introduced himself yet." Xiaodao was originally a nobody, and he studied under the Yuma Pass outside the Ming Mountain..."

"But the mountain is a Taoist temple." Before he could finish speaking, Huang Yan exclaimed.

The crossbow man nodded, and Huang Yan asked, "Xiao Zhenren, has you ever known a Xiao Dao surnamed Crossbow in the Taoist temple, and he is about the same age as you." ”

Seeing that Lord Taishou was so excited, the crossbow man thought that his identity would not be able to hide it anymore, and then replied, "Xiaodao is the person surnamed Taishou, I don't know what Lord Taishou has to say." ”

Huang Yan was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and suddenly sat up from his chair, his eyes staring at the crossbowman tightly.

Several people in the banquet also stood up, their eyes full of disbelief, but Yuluobai looked at a few people with doubts.

The crossbow man is a little embarrassed, I don't know what kind of strange disease Lord Taishou has, how can his surname crossbow provoke you, and even if he already knows his true identity, he won't look at me with that kind of eyes, is it that my dead ghost daddy's prestige is already known to everyone in Yanli.

Thinking about it, he rubbed the rain that was only sitting on the side slightly.

Yuluobai got up and said to Huang Yan, "I don't know what my uncle is doing, is my friend's identity so terrifying." ”

Huang Yan was dumbfounded.

After a pause, he swept away the shock just now, but his eyes still fell on the crossbowman, and then he sighed, "Isn't it strange that the virtuous nephew still doesn't know the true identity of your little friend of the way, but it's also reasonable." ”

Huang Yan also sold Guanzi, and the look of anger on Yuluobai's face gradually rose, "Uncle, don't rely on the old and sell the old, please make it clear." ”

Lord Taishou, who was pretending to be profound just now, how could he resist the tone of the rain falling white, the old face smiled, and he raised his voice towards the crossbowman, "The son of the general who protects the country is in the cold mansion, and Huang Yan is terrified." ”

The crossbowman was shocked when he heard that he was the son of the general who protected the country, not the son of the crossbow general. When did the dead ghost father become this protector general, I don't know.

A few people next to him also saluted, except for Yu Luobai, who learned the true identity of the crossbowman, who was thinking about something, only to see that his face was slightly red, and he miraculously glanced at the crossbowman a few more times.

The crossbow man was puzzled, and asked Huang Yan suspiciously, "Xiao Dao is the son of the crossbow green, as for the son of the general who protects the country, please ask Lord Taishou to solve the puzzle." ”

Huang Yan hesitated, as if he had guessed a few of the reasons, and his usual posture was reversed, and his tone was a little more solemn, "Alas, crossbow boy..."

"Lord Taishou doesn't have to be restrained, just call Xiaodao virtuous nephew." The crossbowman interrupted Huang Yan to speak.

Huang Yan continued, "Nephew Crossbow Xian doesn't know, your father, the Crossbow General, is the title of the Great General of the Protector of the Country who was posthumously awarded by King Yan. As early as a few years ago, it should be three months after you went up the mountain to practice, the crossbow general received a false decree from the traitor in the capital, and led the army to oppose the capital, which was mistaken for a rebellion by the current king, and there were people who pushed it by the trend, and did everything possible to block the general from entering the capital to face the saint, the general was forced to be helpless, and was forced to go to war with the defenders of the capital, the king was furious, 50,000 left cavalry troops were destroyed as many as 20,000, and the general and his wife were also missing, life and death are unknown. ”

"This incident shook the whole Yanli at that time, but I don't know why the virtuous nephew didn't know."

The more the crossbowman listened, the heavier his heart became.

Huang Yan sighed again, "In the 17th year of Yanzheng, the capital suffered a great change and its foundation was destroyed. Three years later, the king ordered to move the capital to Nanyun City in southern Xinjiang, changed the country name Yanhua, Yanhua 3 years, the right cavalry commander Yu Longchen for the crossbow general Zhaoxue, the king learned that the crossbow general was killed by a traitor, heartbroken, issued a decree to the world, posthumously awarded the title of general to protect the country, Mrs. Qing Aunt Niangniang, the whole country mourned, and the country was buried in the old site of the palace in the two cities. ”

"His son, that is, the virtuous nephew, will be rewarded when he returns from studying art in Mengshan, as for why he didn't send someone to find you directly, I don't know the reason."

After Huang Yan finished speaking, he looked at the crossbowman's eyes full of sympathy and regret. A few people on the side were like this, but Mrs. Taishou was infected and lost her posture, and was supported by a few maids and retreated.

The crossbow man held back the grief in his heart, thanked Huang Yan, and didn't know where he got the strength, picked up a large vat of wine, raised his head and poured it, the wine flowed down his cheeks, covering the tears welling up in his eyes, the taste was so bitter, without a little sweetness and fragrance of good wine.

Yuluobai snatched the wine jar in his arms, and no matter what the few people present thought at the moment, he raised his head and drank the wine in the jar.

The crossbow man was a little in a trance, looking at that handsome face, the wine slipped down, as if it was dripping in his heart, and today's rain fell on the white was particularly "pleasing to the eye".

I didn't want to break a certain atmosphere today, but some things didn't follow people's wishes, maybe it was arranged in the dark. He bowed and apologized to a few people, trying not to look too ugly.

Huang Yan and the others understood it and didn't say anything more.

Everything is in plain sight.

After a while, Huang Yan couldn't bear to open his mouth first, and his tone was indignant, "Go to the big bowl, Brother Zhao will carry the wine." ”

Then, the servant put the big bowl on the table, and Zhao Wuming brought the wine jar.

Spirits know people's hearts, and heroes are also heroes.

Huang Yan took the lead in lifting the wine bowl above his head, and raised his head to the sky outside the door, "Beishan guards Huang Yan too much, respects the heroic deeds of the crossbow general and Niangniang, and wishes to feel it in another country." ”

Then came the four people on the side.

"Zhao is nameless, a pawn in the rivers and lakes, and he is angry with the general and Aunt Qing, looking at the other country to perceive."

"Scholar Wu Tong, deeply reciting the deeds of the great general, I hope that he will still be majestic when he returns."

"Hanshan is here to pray for the general and the mother."

"Chen Feng's thousand words are all in the wine."

。。。。。。

"To the Great General." Several people spoke in unison, like thunder.

The crossbow man looked at the sky outside the door with his eyes, Daddy, Auntie, have you seen it, I wish you well, Xia Er is going back to see you.

After everyone finished toasting, they led the two to the banquet.

After drinking until late at night, the four commanders retired, and the crossbowman pulled Yuluobai to the top of the house, saying that he wanted to see the moon tonight, Huang Yan did not stop him, and after a few words, he went back to his house.

The two climbed to the highest house in the house, and with the breeze of the night, they looked up quietly at the stars and the waning moon.

Yuluobai has nothing to say, tonight he is quieter than anyone else except drinking.

The crossbowman was really drunk, he didn't even know how he got to the house, leaning on the shoulder of Yuluobai's white shirt, and he didn't know what he was saying to him, and he started crying as he spoke, it was the kind of silent crying until he fell asleep.

In the early morning of the second day, the crossbowman felt a little itchy on the tip of his nose, and he opened his eyes slightly, and a canary flew up from the tip of his nose in a hurry. He was completely sober.

I don't know when I have a blue and white cloak on my body, and I don't know when the rain is gone. Thinking of his emotional out-of-control last night, those words that he said but didn't know what to say, he was a little big.

Thinking about his parents again, it seemed that everything had been left behind again, and he just wanted to find the master as soon as possible, and what else the master was hiding from him was what he desperately wanted to know.

Putting away his cloak, the crossbow man found the Taishou-sama.

Huang Yan knew that he was eager to return, and he had already made arrangements, a fast horse, a backpack, and all kinds of needs were prepared for him.

Seeing that Taishou had a heart, and the deadline he had agreed with the master was not a few days away, it was not good to refuse, so he took the fast horse, returned the salute and thanked him, and then asked, "Does Lord Taishou know where Brother Luobai went?" ”

Huang Yan smiled, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to him, and said, "The little nephew left first, saying that he had something important to do, and he couldn't say goodbye to the crossbow nephew, so ask me to deliver this letter to you, and you will know when you read it." Remember, this Beishan City will be your home from now on, and you will often come to sit when you have time. ”

The crossbowman took it, gave a big salute to Huang Yan, jumped on the horse's head, and left Beishan City under Huang Yan's eyes.

About to leave the range of Beishan County, he dismounted and went to the post station for a while, opened the envelope of Yuluobai, in addition to the letter paper, there was a very familiar thing, that is, the jade pendant that Yuluobai gave him as wine money at the beginning. There is Yun in the letter:

The crossbow brother cares about family affection, and he is eager to return home, how dare he delay it.

Say goodbye, just for the crossbow brother to focus on this matter.

The jade pendant is offered, and he passes through Nanyun on the way, and I will know that he will be drinking with the crossbow brother at that time.

I believe that the crossbow brother has already happened here, his parents are only temporarily gone, and there is a day of reunion, and Luo Baiding celebrates with you.

Also, what the crossbow brother said after drinking is that Luobai has taken it seriously... I can't allow you to regret it, it's a lifelong event for me.

May the crossbow brother have a smooth journey, and I hope to meet again soon.

———————————————————————————————— handwritten in white handwriting

Closing the envelope, the crossbowman put away the jade pendant, only as a joke about what lifelong event in the white letter was his joke, turned around and got on the horse, and did not stay any longer.
