I didn't realize that it was another year of bright spring.

Qin Ao, Qin Leopard's son, was idle at home, and when he saw the willows in the courtyard outside the window, the tea smoke was light, the new warblers were hundred, and the swallowtail was turning into the wind, and he unconsciously moved the meaning of the spring outing. So he went to the upper room to show his father, took a few family members, rode horses, and came to the suburbs.

In the western suburbs of the cold city, there is a Nine Lotus Mountain, and there are nine majestic mountains in succession, all of which are like huge stone lotuses in full bloom. There is a deep spring at the foot of the mountain, it is called the Nine Lotus Spring, the blue waves in the spring are rippling, and the slight waves are like seals. Every spring, there is an endless stream of tourists who come here to enjoy and play.

Qin Ao took his family and went out of the city gate, and saw the tourists weaving, red men and green women, and saw a thousand flowers on the roadside, ten thousand grass sprouts, red apricots are fragrant, and roses are spit out, his heart is more and more happy, he whistled in his mouth, left his family, and galloped forward.

Suddenly, I saw several carriages on the opposite side coming, and when I was busy reining in the horse, it was too late, Qin Ao's horse and the carriage on the opposite side collided together, and the horse on the opposite side "Bang-" neighed, the front hooves took off, and the pulled vehicle leaned straight back, and suddenly I heard an exclamation in the car, vaguely a woman's voice.

Qin Ao knew that he was at fault, and when he was about to clench his fists and apologize, he saw a few slaves running behind the carriage opposite, pointing at Qin Ao's nose and scolding: "Where did the wild man come from?" Dare to ram our lady's vehicle! I don't think you want to live! ”

Qin Ao was originally a pampered young master's temper, where had he ever been scolded like this? And inherited his father's temper, he raised the horsewhip in his hand and whipped it at the leading slave, scolding: "You didn't see the uncle, I didn't mean it?" I was going to pay for it, look at your face, it's just a sample of omission, wait for me to teach you a lesson first, and then apologize to the people in the car! ”

The leading slave was whipped up, how could he give up? Immediately greet the others: "Are you all dead?" Watch me get beaten! Give it all to me! ”

Immediately, seven or eight servants surrounded Qin Ao. Qin Ao has been instructed in martial arts by his father since he was a child, where do you put these people in your eyes? Left and right, crackling, and after a while, these seven or eight people were beaten and did not dare to come forward.

The carriage had also come steadily, only to hear the voice of a woman in the car, and scolded sharply: "You useless fools! Don't be ashamed! Remember his face clearly, turn around and let the master settle accounts with him! ”

One of the servants shouted at the inside of the car: "Madam, I remember, this person is the son of General Qin!" ”

There was a sneer in the car: "Now that you know who it is, don't bother, go back quickly!" ”

There was a rush of wheels and smoke, and in an instant, the car and the servants were gone.

Several family members of the Qin family also rushed over, and one of them said in a bit of a panic: "Childe, this is probably Mrs. Chen Sima's car, now we are just afraid of getting into trouble!" ”

Qin Ao was also taken aback, but pretended to be calm and said, "What are you afraid of?" I didn't mean to hit them, but I just beat a few slaves, the surname Chen is Sima, and my father is also a general, who is afraid of whom? Having said that, Qin Ao was suddenly not interested, so he had to take a few family members and return to the city.

Half a month later, Qin Bao was taken to the prison.

The crime is that during the war against Jingguo, he missed the fighter plane several times, and victory was imminent, but he returned to the camp with his division, and he was suspected of connecting Jingguo.

The Qin family was raided, and all the Qin family's family members were exiled to a wild land.

When dispatching Qin's family, Qin Ao mysteriously disappeared. The officials in charge of supervising this matter beat the Qin family to death, and did not trace Qin Ao's whereabouts.

The imperial court issued a document on sea fishing, and posted Qin Ao's images everywhere, but nothing was found.

Qin Bao was arrested, and Liu Tong broke out in a cold sweat. Under Lin Zhuang's reminder, he hurriedly prepared two generous gifts, one to be sent to Chen Sima's mansion, and one to the house of Zeng Gai, who was supervising the war in his military camp at that time.

Sure enough, not long after Qin Bao was arrested, someone impeached Liu Tong above, saying that he also delayed the fighter plane in the army. Master Sima Chen and Zeng Gai, who joined the army, argued with reason, saying that there was no such thing. With the support of Lord Chen, this matter is over.

When the news of Qin Bao's beheading reached Jiyan City, Li Sui sat in the big chair covered with tiger skin in the study and did not speak for a long time.

It's autumn again, and the wind at the northern border has always been fierce, and this day is even darker, flying sand and rocks. There was a constant "crackling" sound in the courtyard, about the flower pots on the pot rack, which had been blown to the ground by a hurricane.

Li Xuan paced back and forth in the room restlessly, peeking at his father's face from time to time; The goose feather fan in Tang Ji's hand shook much faster than usual.

Although when I first arrived, the sky had completely darkened, and it cast a shadow on the faces of the three people in the room.

Li Gong, who had been impatient for a long time, stopped in front of his father and said in a low voice: "Dad! According to me, sooner or later it will be our turn, so we might as well take advantage of the fact that we still have military power in our hands, and on the other hand! ”

Li Sui's body trembled, and he scolded with a straight face: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" How can my family be blessed with the grace of the first emperor, how can they do such a rebellious thing? ”

Li Yu smiled coldly and said, "Dad, the first emperor is the first emperor, and today is today." Look at your old man, what has become of Xu Guodu today? Over the years, my father ordered his son to go to the capital every year to give birthday gifts to Mr. Chen, and the scenes along the way became more and more desolate year by year, and the people who fled were ragged and had vegetables on their faces, and those who starved to death on the way were countless. The DPRK and China are singing and dancing every day, and they are extremely poor and luxurious. If we toss like this, not only will we end up with those generals, but the lives of the people will only become more and more miserable! ”

Li Sui had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

Tang Ji shook the goose feather fan a few more times, and said slowly: "Don't worry, young general, in recent years, the military supplies given to us in the imperial court have become less and less, and most of the time, we can barely maintain it by relying on the general to lead the soldiers, open up wasteland and farm, and even trade some goods with Hu State." If we raise an uprising, where will the pay come from? Where does the food and grass come from? Again, there are at least one million people in the imperial court, and our Jiyan City is only 200,000 horses, can it be the opponent of the imperial court? ”

Li Gong said: "Although the imperial court has a million men and horses, but they are scattered in various border passes, as long as we take the nearest five or six cities, we can immediately increase a lot of soldiers and horses, all states and counties have spare grain depots, grain and grass can also be replenished, slowly advancing south, it is better than sitting still!" And now most of the generals who have really led troops to fight in the DPRK have been killed by the faint king, I want to see who else can stop us! Daddy—"

Li Sui closed his eyes and spit out a sentence sadly: "Ningjiao is a saint who bears me, and I don't live up to the saint!" ”

A line of clear tears rolled down the old general's wrinkled cheeks.
