Chapter Twenty-Four: The Truth of the Past
Gu Zi'an looked for Meng Yining's shadow and found the Shattered Moon Tower, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Meng Yining's upright back. He walked over and patted Meng Yining on the shoulder.
"Gu Shizi." Le Su stood up and observed the Beiyang prince who was imprisoned in Great Xia, and his face was indifferent and calm with no age attributes.
Meng Yining glanced at Gu Zi'an, and the short sword was clenched in his hand.
Le Su smiled, stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, and looked out of the busy window.
"Master took a hexagram before I went down the mountain, and traveled westward, and within a month, I would find the little girl of the Bai family. Sure enough, I finally met you in the capital of Great Xia. I wasn't sure that on King Lian's birthday the day before yesterday, the exquisite ball you gave was what your father taught you to make. ”
Meng Yining thought for a while, thought of the feeling that he always felt being followed in the palace that day, took a step forward, and asked, "That Yingge pulled me to change clothes, and you followed behind?" Behind her voice was ice cubes.
Le Su turned his head a little embarrassed, "Xining said, you were injured when you were a child, and you have plum blossom marks on your back. I have never seen you, so I can only judge it that way. ”
"Where did you get the handkerchief? Why does it look freshly embroidered? ”
"It's Freshly Embroidered"
Meng Yining's back suddenly trembled, "What do you mean?" ”
"You and I will know when you go to Fengling Mountain."
"Your master is a son of Lingfeng Villa." Gu Zi'an said.
Gu Zi'an had heard of this name, and he studied under a Zhang Daoren who had returned to the mountains. It is said that Zhang Daoren came by the crane stepping on the clouds, and the place where he passed, auspicious clouds fell from the sky, and the colorful phoenix flew. With the strength of one person, he ended the situation of multinational disputes and melee more than 200 years ago with an indefatigable tongue, and the war subsided for nearly 100 years. In the past 100 years, people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and this has formed today's pattern.
Zhang Daoren later lived in seclusion in Lingfeng Mountain and built Lingfeng Villa. In the past 100 years, there are 72 bachelors in the villa, and they are the talents that all countries are vying for. This Zicong, Gu Zi'an once heard that he never participated in the treacherous court disputes, nor did he participate in the mergers and alliances of many countries, he was the most proud disciple of Zhang Daoren, and he took over the place where this incense was prosperous, but he never stepped out of Lingfeng Villa.
Gu Zhang, the former monarch of Beiyang, risked being attacked by Yan Rong's dead soldiers, and personally came to this mountain range located on the border six times and invited Zicong to go out of the mountain, but he was unable to do so.
Although Gu Zhang didn't get any tricks, Wei Yong, the general who was still stationed at Lingfeng Mountain at that time, found a life-saving plan. In that year, because Beiyang was becoming more and more powerful, the Yanrong monarch was unwilling to send an army of 50,000 to take the three cities including Zhaojun in the west of Lingfeng Mountain and the fertile land in the Lingfeng Mountain area. There is a river that leads directly to Yangshang, the capital of Beiyang, which can be described as a strategic place.
The Wei Yong garrison was only 10,000 people, and the Yanrong army advanced quickly, and camped outside the city, curling with smoke, surrounding the city like an iron bucket. Yan Rong knew that there were not many defenders, and he felt that he could take Beiyang City within three days.
The battle of trapped beasts, the battle against the water, there is no other way.
Wei Yong asked the capital for help, and at the same time hurried to Lingfeng Villa to seek a clever plan before closing the siege. Jiang Ningzi only gave one piece of advice: "If you can't, you can't, and you don't need it." Those who are good to the enemy, lure them with profit, and the enemy will take them. ”
The three cities are lined up with the word "product", and the first of them is Zhaojun, Wei Yong with 10,000 troops concentrated in the southwest and southeast. Women, children, and children were sent to defend the city, and the garrisons retreated outside the city, waiting for an opportunity to move. Zhaojun surrendered without a fight, hoping that Yan Rong would not slaughter the city, and the gold and precious jade, wine and delicacies would be served together. Yan Rongjun was overjoyed when he saw this, thinking that Wei Yong had fled with his troops. That night, singing and dancing were leveled, and the attack plan of the other two cities was planned.
Two days of rejoicing, on the second night. Wei Yong, who was ambushed around, led the army to raid, taking advantage of the dark night to launch a fierce attack, and when Yan Rong's army was still immersed in the victory the day before and did not react, it began to retreat. Wei Yong skillfully broke through the enemy's formation, annihilated 40,000 enemies, and Yan Rong's army scattered and fled.
Since then, Wei Yong has become famous.
became a powerful general by Gu Zhang's side.
Zi Cong was good at strategy, and his disciples became the king's guests after leaving the mountain.
Gu Zi'an thought of this, and said calmly: "I didn't expect Zicong's disciple to be so young, he is really a young talent. I just don't know, how did you recognize Yi Ning's identity? ”
Meng Yining looked at him puzzled, and poured three cups of tea.
The tea reflected the shadows of the three people, rippling wisps. The breeze was blowing outside the window, and the crows were chirping.
"Bai Yan, the white girl's father, is the teacher's younger brother."
Meng Yining flickered, "Why don't I know?" ”
"About thirty or forty years ago, Zhang Daoren left Fengling Mountain, and Bai Yan had a fierce dispute with the teacher." Lesu held his hand on the carved window frame, sighed, and told all this.
Bai Yan and Zicong went out of the same school, Zicong said that the other senior brother has worshiped Yan Rong's appearance, this person is fame and fortune and has many schemes, you are in the same dynasty as him, he may not be able to tolerate you. Bai Yan said that he was a native of Yanrong, and he had studied hard to enrich and strengthen his country. Others are fame and fortune, and I let him be. No matter how Zicong stops it, Bai Yan is ambitious and has made up his mind.
Before leaving, Zicong gave him a short sword with a snake handle.
Meng Yining lowered his head and stroked the short sword in his hand, his heart full of sadness.
"I was originally an orphan, but I was adopted by Master and lived in the villa. Master practiced alone in the Lingfeng Pavilion, but told me that if the sky changed, I must ring the bell to call him. ”
On that day, the black fog was rolling, as if there were Yin soldiers crossing the underworld. The lightning in the sky seemed to split the earth apart, and the dark clouds were like giant pythons swimming towards the capital of Yanrong.
Le Yi He had seen such a scene and slammed the bronze bell.
When Master Zicong came out of the pavilion and saw such a strange scene of black clouds rolling, he even said, "Oh no." ”
shouted Le Yi to prepare the horse to go down the mountain.
Eight horses galloped, day and night, two hundred miles a day.
Three days later, when I arrived at Baifu, there was already a strong smell of blood in the air.
Bai Yan held a three-foot green sword in one hand, and the other was holding the close-fitting dagger. Le Yi and Master rummaged through the corpses of all sizes in the dark night, only to find that Bai Xining's chest was still hot. Her legs were buried in the snow, stiff, and her breath was weaker than that of a bird.
returned to the villa, picked all kinds of fairy grasses to carefully recuperate Bai Xining, and taught her to have a hundred families.
Le Yi looked at Gu Zi'an and smiled with interest: "I left the villa half a year ago, and the master's first sentence told me that the little girl of the Bai family was in a prosperous place in the west, and the second sentence was ......" Le Yi glanced at Gu Zi'an.
Gu Zi'an's face did not change.
Suddenly, Le Yi knelt down on one knee and said sonorously: "Gu Shizi, Bai girl, on the orders of the master, I will send you back to China to each other."
Meng Yining covered her face with her sleeves and cried with joy.
Gu Zi'an hurriedly helped Le Yi up, and there was a confident smile on the corner of his mouth.
