Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

"Actually, I read this book in 'Ningxiu Pavilion'." When Zhao Yan spoke, tears glistened in his eyes.

"Zhao Yan, what exactly do you want to do?" I suddenly understood what he meant.

"Shaoxia, I heard that Shaoxia is also a general in the Shu army array, so presumably Cui Zhuangshi must also be a general, now I, Zhao Yan, want to ask you, if you can be on the battlefield with the two of you, can you be considered a general?" Zhao Yan stared at me.

"That's natural, Zhao Yan, you are naturally a brave general in my Cheng Yin's heart." My voice was loud and echoed in the sky.

"Hahaha!! I am very happy today!! I couldn't be happier!! I didn't expect that I, Zhao Yanneng, could be regarded as a brave general in the general's heart, and I have no regrets in this life!! No regrets in this life!! Zhao Yan's tears flowed down his cheeks, but the laughter was earth-shattering.

"Zhao Yan, what exactly do you want to do?" Wang Ningshuang also seemed to know Zhao Yan's decision.

"The little one has been taken care of by the lord and the son since he was a child, but unfortunately he has not been able to repay it, today is the best time for the little one to repay the palace, Miss don't worry, as long as I Zhao Yan does not fall, it is impossible for the thieves to step into this courtyard half a step!!" Zhao Yan turned around: "Today is the time when the palace is in danger, and the people who are willing to stay in the palace with me will come with me!! ”

Zhao Yan !! With your current strength, it is impossible for you to be the opponent of the bandits, and Cui Li and I will help you together to resist the bandits!! I clenched the heavy iron sword at my waist.

"Young Hero!! It is the responsibility of your soldiers to fight the enemy on the battlefield, and now the four guards of the palace are not in the palace now, and the son has not returned from traveling, and the responsibility of the entire palace has fallen on me Zhao Yan, if I fail to protect the master and the young lady, it is my Zhao Yan's dereliction of duty, and please open the stone gate as soon as possible, please rest assured that the two of you will do your best to resist and buy time for you to open the stone gate. ”

"But..."I don't know what else to say to keep Zhao Yan here.

"Shaoxia, don't say much, if you can open the stone gate to save the old man and the young lady, I will be grateful and disrespectful." Zhao Yan shouted: "The royal family came with me!! ”

Zhao Yan ...... Zhao Yan ...... "Wang Ningshuang wanted to speak and stopped.

"Miss, don't worry, I will protect you." Zhao Yan and the family in the courtyard walked quickly away from the gate of the courtyard.

"That's right, young man." Zhao Yan stood at the door of the courtyard and looked at me and asked, "The 'Battle of the Three Generals' I told you before. ”

Once upon a time, there was a general who led a large army to press in, passing through a city, and after a few days of fighting, the defenders of the city could no longer afford to continue to defend the city. In fact, he could have fled the city, but he didn't, and still led the remnants of his old army to stand on the tower. Its heroic spirit shocks the Quartet...

"'The Battle of the Three Generals'?" I repeated.

"That's right, Shaoxia, are Cui Zhuangshi and Zai Xia exactly the third general? In other words, is it the same as fighting the enemy with Shaoxia and Cui Zhuangshi today?" Zhao Yan said with a smile.

"Count!! Today you are the Lord!! "My tears were on my cheeks, hot, but my heart ached. I couldn't help but suddenly think of Xiao Mo, his armor was red, like the setting sun.

"Thank you!!" Zhao Yan smiled heartily, and the louder his laughter became, the more my heart hurt.

Cheng Yin!! Now is not the time to be sad, I still have more important tasks waiting for me to complete, open the stone door, only in this way can I live up to Zhao Yan's loyalty.

"Cheng Yin, do you have any way to open the stone door?" Cui Li asked on the side, his expression was also very solemn, it seemed that Zhao Yan's loyalty and courage had also caused ripples in Cui Li's heart.

"Look at the eight characters on this stone plate, two of them are the same, there must be something mysterious in this, but I haven't thought of it yet." At this time, I wish that the same dream could appear here, so that I might be able to think of a way to open the stone door.

But there was no dream, I looked at everything in front of me and was extremely anxious, and the time passed minute by minute, and there was no sound outside the courtyard, which meant that the bandits had not yet found this place.

Wait!!! I see!! I see!! The answer suddenly occurred to me. I see!! A smile appeared on my face.

[Note 1] Guzheng, also known as Han Zheng, Qin Zheng, Yao Zheng, Luan Zheng, is a Zheng instrument among traditional Chinese musical instruments, which is a plucked instrument. It is one of the unique and important national musical instruments in China. It has a beautiful timbre, a wide range, rich playing skills, and quite strong expressiveness, so it is deeply loved by the masses. Now there are also small zithers, portable zithers, mini zithers, half zithers, new zithers, and 12 equal law transfer ziters. The guzheng is an ancient national musical instrument that accompanies China's long-standing culture and is native to this fertile loess soil. It is a plucked musical instrument, and its structure is composed of a panel, a goose pillar (also called a zither yard in some sections), a string, a front mountain, a string nail, a tuning box, a foot, a back mountain, a side plate, a sound outlet, a bottom plate, and a string hole. The shape of the Zheng is a rectangular wooden speaker, the string frame "Zheng Pillar" (i.e. the Goose Pillar) can move freely, one string and one tone, arranged according to the pentatonic scale, the earliest 25 strings of the Zheng for the most (divided into Zheng), there are thirteen strings in the Tang and Song dynasties, and then increased to sixteen, eighteen strings, twenty-one strings, etc., the most commonly used specifications are twenty-one strings.

[Note 1] Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has divided the Han region into nine regions, the so-called "Kyushu". According to the records of "Shangshu Yugong", the order of Kyushu is: Jizhou, Chongzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou. In the Zhou Dynasty, the two states of Xu and Liang were merged into Qingzhou and Yongzhou respectively, so there was no Xuzhou and Liangzhou.

[Note 2] Jingzhou, it is generally believed that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou originally had seven counties: Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, after the Battle of Chibi, the seven counties of Jingzhou were divided by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, Cao Cao occupied the largest Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou, Sun Quan got Jiangxia County and Nan County, and Liu Bei got four counties in the south of Jingzhou (Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling). Liu Bei's military security was not conducive to development, so he proposed to Sun Quan twice to borrow the southern county of Jingzhou, and Eastern Wu Lusu persuaded Sun Quan to temporarily lend the southern county to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei had five counties of Jingzhou (Nanjun, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling).
