Chapter 18: No Longer a Teenager
Hou Nankang's 100,000 elites were all lost in Shangjing, and after Hou Nankang was defeated by Yuce outside Huiyang Pass, he saw that Hou Nanyu did not support for a long time, so he directly led 80,000 remnants of the army south to cross the river.
Guanxia is a heavy place in the south, according to the Shuojiang River in the front, surrounded by mountains, occupy the victory of the geographical advantage, although the troops are small, but it is difficult to attack, and the soldiers under the command of Yuce are recruited in the north, they are not good at water warfare, and the crossing of the Shuojiang River alone is already a big problem that is difficult to solve.
"What do you say? Gongxi Yue wants to form an alliance with this king to fight against Hou Nankang? The black and bright Jun eyes widened slightly, and Yu Ce seemed to suddenly remember that there was also Gong Xiyue.
Speaking of western Sichuan in the past two years, it is really unpredictable.
It seems that after the rebellion of the Yi people, Yuwen Zheng put away all his edges and was willing to be silent, but his reputation did not decline in the western Sichuan army.
And Gongxi Yue's father and son, on the surface, firmly hold the power of western Sichuan, but in fact they are like quicksand at the fingertips, and the power in their hands is gradually being swallowed up day after day. This battle between Yuce and Hou Nankang is proof of this. In this case, Yigong Xiyue's temperament is bound to disturb one of them in order to get a piece of the pie, but the Sichuan West Army has never moved, and it is obvious that there is nothing but chaos. Gongxiyue is already old, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the sky in western Sichuan will change.
Adjutant Django sneered, "Who did he send?" ”
"Yu Wenzheng!"
There was silence for a while, several staff members and generals in the study looked at each other, and Yu Ce, who was originally smiling slightly playfully, was also stunned, with a light in his eyes.
Yu Zijin, who had just walked to the door of the study, froze his steps even more when he heard these three words.
Yu Wenzheng?
In her memory, the handsome face of the young man gradually unfolded like a landscape painting, teasing her heartstrings that had been tense for several days.
She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had heard the name, the last time she had ...... Is it in the mouth of the storyteller, or in your own dreams?
It seems to have been a lifetime ago.
After the Liukou Rebellion recognized the true face of Gong Xiyue, Yu Ce had long been extremely disdainful of Gong Xiyue, but after hearing the name Yu Wenzheng, his original thoughts were still loosened.
Heroes come out of troubled times, he is a person who cherishes talents, Yu Wenzheng has been admired for a long time, and he was on the edge of Dongliu City at the beginning, since he has this good opportunity this time, aside from the alliance, he also wants to see him.
Maybe it can be included in the palm of your hand, but I don't know.
A few days later.
"I've seen the Jade King."
Dressed neatly, majestic and elegant, with cold facial features, and a phoenix and dragon posture.
Yu Ce looked at the seven-foot man standing in the hall with his hands in his hands full of appreciation.
On that day, Chunan changed drastically and his family was slaughtered, he thought that Yuwen Zheng would be in decline even if he didn't collapse, but he didn't expect to be able to stand in front of him with such a grace. is a good Gong Xiyue, he really dug a good tomb for himself!
If Yuce has seen the original Yuwen Zheng, he will understand that this young man with an uncompromising bearing is no longer the flamboyant young man he was back then, he has already been reborn and reborn.
Yu Wenzheng looked back at Yuce calmly, his gaze as silent as a cold pool had no waves, and it was difficult to peek into the bottom of his heart.
A character with extraordinary appearance, that person's bearing is not much different from what he imagined. But what made him unable to take his eyes off was Yu Ce's familiar eyebrows.
In the seventh year of the original dynasty, the powerful and powerful heroes of the troubled times and the military genius Yu Wenzheng, tempered in the war, met in this way, and the two unparalleled figures were opposite each other, like the sun and the moon coming out together, and the atmosphere was magnificent.
Later generations "Old Things of the Original Dynasty" contains: the original late Renzhao Emperor Changhe seven years, the Jade King saw Yingcheng in the old capital of Shangjing, when Yingcheng was a young man under the command of Gongxi, not as weak as the crown, the peak is superb, the self-cultivation is seven feet, the solemnity is like that, the talent of the jade is strong, the guests of the pearl are radiating to their doors, and Yingcheng is also shocked to see the heavens....... Yingcheng returned to western Sichuan, and also said privately: "The Jade King's warp and latitude run deep through it, Tianzhi nourishes his qi outside, and he is a peerless man, which is really an example for my generation." ”
The light-footed girl secretly went to the corner of the wall and opened a window, and through the curtain, she only saw a lonely and cold back.
With just one glance, she knew it was him...... It's not him anymore!
Her eyes were slightly red, her body was misty, she shook the tip of her nose and leaned against the wall, the man's voice from the pavilion was obviously much lower and more indifferent, she still remembered the unique clear warmth and faint smile in the young man's voice when he used to talk to her.
The years are merciless, polishing him.
It's not that young, so young.
Will the Yu Wenzheng who would smile softly at her never see her again?
Thinking of this, Yu Zijin couldn't help crying and laughing at herself, they are not from the same world, how can there be any chance to see each other again? He is passionate about the sword to conquer the world, she has held the sword to protect the jade family all her life, even if she says goodbye, she is also the enemy and me, holding the sword to each other, some dreams are not what she should do!
Shaking his head with a wry smile and about to leave, there was a word in the hall at this time that Yu Ce wanted to keep Yu Wenzheng for his own use, she had a lot of thoughts, now Yu Wenzheng and Gong Xiyue father and son have a blood feud, if he can stay in Shangjing for his father, of course, it is the best, and his father is a person who cherishes talents and loves talents, and he will never treat him badly! Thinking of this, Yu Zijin couldn't wait to rush out to help her father keep him, but the next moment, she heard Yu Wenzheng reject Yu Ce.
It is precisely because of the deep blood feud with Gongxi Yue that Yu Wenzheng will not leave Sichuanxi, he has the heart to take revenge, and he has already thought of countermeasures to deal with Gongxiyue's father and son. Besides, Yu Ce values him again, and it is difficult for him to build up his power in the short term when he comes to Shangjing, and Yu Ce will not risk letting him go his own way and fight Gongxi Yue head-on, and now Sichuan West is gradually in his hands, and it is no longer necessary to defect.
Yu Zijin figured this out, so he could only hide to the side and watch the man say goodbye and leave.
Zhuo Zhuo's back faded out of sight, and Yu Ce's long sigh came from the hall.
"Wen Chen, this person is a talent, and he can't use it for himself, it's a pity."
"Yes, although he is young, he has a good demeanor and a good heart...... It's rare, it's a pity to be under Gong Xiyue. Su Jing couldn't help but sigh.
"Quing to Gong Xiyue?" The voice suddenly increased, "No, this person can't stay!" ”
"Lord, what do you mean?"
"Gongxi Yue's father and son are definitely not this person's opponents, if he takes Sichuan West in his hands except for this father and son, and when he rises one day, wouldn't it be a great scourge for this king?"
"Why don't you ...... tonight?"
The young leaves of Tsing Yi went away with the wind, and Yu Zijin didn't listen to it anymore, so he didn't care about panicking and left quickly.
The streets are bustling, and the three of them walk on the street to see the beautiful crown of this character.
"Shangjing is indeed much more lively than in western Sichuan, but the dishes are too troublesome, which makes my old bear wait for a while, and my stomach is almost hungry."
A man with a height of six feet, a fat man who couldn't tell whether he was fat or muscular, walked rampant on the street, with a bald head, tiger eyes, a half-face beard with a horizontal circle of flesh, a scar that was not long or short hanging on the left cheek, and a nine-ring knife was worn cross-body on the bear's back. The appearance of being dressed in grass and wild and vicious should be intimidating, but with a roast chicken in the left hand and a roast duck in the right hand, it is only funny.
Yu Wenzheng and another gray-clothed man with a long beard glanced at the people who were munching chickens and ducks on the street, quite helpless.
"General, how is it today?" The gray-clothed man with a long beard is called Su Baofeng, and he is a deputy general of Yuwen Zheng.
Yu Wenzheng shook his head, "Although Yuce has the intention of forming an alliance, he is not sincere, with that person's talent and momentum, he is definitely not a human minister!" ”
Su Baofeng frowned, and was about to open his mouth when he saw Helian grabbing the chicken and duck and pounced on him, and hurriedly dodged to save himself from being greasy.
"Hey, I said Lao Su, what are you hiding, I won't wipe your mouth with your stinky beard, it's ugly to death, I don't understand where I can afford the three words 'beautiful beard', the bullshit of the reader is really boring!" Helian took a bite off a large piece of chicken breast, and Su Baofeng rolled his eyes impatiently, rotten wood can't be carved!
Yu Wenzheng said: "Okay, Xiongxiong, you don't have anything to worry about sneaking up on the wind to force him to fight with you, his light skills are amazing, you can't be as fast as him." ”
The motive was recognized, and Helian snorted coldly at the beard with disdain, isn't he just a little fat? When he goes into battle to kill the enemy, it is not like cutting vegetables, and it is no less than this dead old man, and one day he will defeat him, and when the time comes, he will tell him to shave his beard! Ha ha! It's funny to think about.
"Big brother!" A little beggar in ragged clothes ran to Yu Wenzheng's side and tugged at his sleeve, Yu Wenzheng lowered his head, the little beggar was only seven or eight years old, a pair of big eyes were quite clear, and Yu Wenzheng's eyes were a little afraid and hesitant.
Yu Wenzheng was used to being deep, his face was cold but not cold, and he was about to take out some broken silver from his sleeve and give it to the little beggar, but the little beggar quickly stuffed a sandalwood box into his hand, and then ran away quickly.
The three of them looked at the direction of the little beggar in confusion, and Helian threw the chicken and duck at him, "I'll go and get that kid back!" ”
Yu Wenzheng waved his hand to stop, glanced at the sandalwood box and slowly opened it, there was a short sword in the sandalwood box, the sword body was extremely sharp when it came out of the sheath, and the hilt of the sword scabbard was carved with pure gold, inlaid with several snow jade polished crescents, which was precious and visible.
"Golden Sword? Who sent this? Helian scratched his head, it seemed that it was quite expensive, and it must be worth a lot of money if it was sold.
Yu Wenzheng and Su Baofeng looked at the things in the sandalwood box in confusion, who gave this away? What does that mean? Looking around, there was no suspicious person, or was the person trying to tell them something?
Jun raised his eyebrows, and Yu Wenzheng picked up the short sword.
The swordsman, the rank of the soldiers, is also called the murder weapon!
"It's not good to stay here, let's go!" Yu Ce has really killed him! Regardless of who the messenger is, it will never be wrong to leave Shangjing!
Xu Baofeng and Helian looked at each other, didn't care about asking too much, quickly left with Yuwen Zheng, and followed him for many years, although Yu Wenzheng was younger than them, but the experience of these years told them: Listen to him will not be wrong!
Not far away, in a delicate and gorgeous carriage, the beautiful girl raised her eyes, lowered the curtain, and waved her hand to order the coachman to drive away.
The people sent by Yu Ce returned in a few moments, and several subordinates trembled after experiencing Yu Ce's thunderous anger and followed Yu Ce's pursuit overnight.
The dew was sassy, Su Hui was pouring out, Yu Ce's eyes were gloomy and looking at the four fields of Luguan shrouded by the moon, and the killing breath was better than the winter ice ling.
That night, after receiving the news of Yu Wenzheng's departure, he came in person, and chased for two days and two nights in vain, although he was just a young general, but remembering the scene of seeing him that day, that bad premonition has always haunted Yu Ce's heart.
Yuce's premonition is right, when he looks back on it for a hundred years, he hates and regrets nothing more than this, a moment of negligence has not been eliminated, and a few years later he has become a fierce rival for a lifetime, and his life's business is an unfinished ambition!
