Chapter 340: Turbulent Waves
After all, Yan Kaizhi still held on to the teaching ground to give lectures to the soldiers and boost morale, and I have to say that Yucang's sudden attack in the middle of the night caught them off guard and was almost broken. They stayed in the Gangying Mountain, not far away, as if they were going to take root there, and they were silent for half a month.
It sounds good that the place where the souls of the heroes of the Taxi Dynasty were buried was actually a mass grave of unknown soldiers, and those famous generals, which of them would be buried on it. Although the Ashi people did not like burial as much as the Central Plains, they believed that it was a final reincarnation to let the dying person return to the place where he was born to die. If he can be cremated in the same place, then this person will inevitably be reborn into the world like a phoenix.
Therefore, the royal family and nobles attach great importance to this etiquette, so pregnant women almost always choose a specific place to give birth, they believe that this is better for their bloodline to pass on. And the mountain was originally a mass grave for those nobodies, just because hundreds of years ago a hundred years ago for the Ta Xi Dynasty called a holy war, almost half of the soldiers died here. There is also a sentence "The sky and the earth are mattress, the four seas are all towns, the vast place, and the clouds have no way." "It is to the effect that wherever you die, as long as there is a starlight road, you can come back, as if there is a kind of momentum of a good man after eighteen years.
However, it is also conceivable that even a general has given up the idea of dying at home, how tragic that battle must have been.
This is how the Ying Mountain has been handed down, and now there are no ancestors and bones, and there are weeds everywhere to regenerate, although the terrain is good, there are no melons, fruits, lakes and springs, let alone birds and beasts. Therefore, even if Yucang occupies Yuying Mountain, if there is no follow-up food supply, it will be difficult for them to stay here permanently. Mu Shi Zhen also has this idea, so he plans to drag it out, it is better not to fight if he can, anyway, as long as they eat up the stored food, they will naturally flee in disgrace, and then Mu Shi Zhen can still get a reputation for winning without a fight.
But Bo Yan didn't think so, he grew up learning martial arts and leading soldiers, although he was close to the Beijing Division, but he was familiar with military books, and he was not lost to Youning, who grew up in northern Sichuan.
Maybe others don't know, but Hongyi knows very well in his heart, as early as when Yan Shangju met Shaohua, he asked people to turn Shaohua's family background clearly. Especially knowing that she grew up in a foreign family, and the Ling family was closer to her than the Li family, he made up his mind to let Yan Kaizhi marry Shaohua. And Shaohua chased Yan Kaizhi to achieve a marriage that can be widely praised in the capital, Hongyi's contribution is not small, whether it is used or fulfilled, Hongyi still makes lovers finally become dependents.
It can be said that every family in Pu'an has relatives in Beijing, and large families are on the line with high-ranking officials and nobles. As the old saying goes, life is a citizen of the imperial city, and death is a ghost of Pu'an. It is impossible to say that the Ling family is hiding from the front and back of the house, and it is still silent to raise such a large army in their own home. But everyone knows that their backer is Queen Duanming, so naturally they won't talk much, especially when Queen Duanming passed away, and those people didn't appear in Pu'an, and everyone forgot about it over time.
The people of Pu'an have forgotten, but the people in Beijing have not, especially Hongwen's escape, the death of the first emperor, and Hongyi's ascension to the throne immediately began to look for these people. However, Old Man Ling is also a person who understands, why not exchange 300 people for a future for his children and grandchildren, and his opponent's in-laws were willing to retire for the sake of their children and grandchildren.
Because of this, Bo Yan knew that the best defense was to take the initiative to attack, and although Yu Cang's target was not them, the target of the Chiba King was Baishan. And regardless of whether their follow-up supplies can be supplied or not, they are squatting in this place of Yuying Mountain, and the threat to northern Sichuan is far greater than the threat to Mingshui. Even if Yu Cang was about to take the throne of Dora and reorganize the Mingshui Palace, who could guarantee that they would not take the opportunity to fight. And yesterday's sneak attack just verified Bo Yan's worries, but fortunately, Bo Yan himself was vigilant, plus Xin Maoshan has always been well-trained, and Yan Kaizhi's sitting in charge has greatly boosted morale.
After waiting for Yan Kaizhi to rest, Shaohua immediately rushed over to find Fulin, and it happened that Fulin had just settled those soldiers. As soon as he saw the menacing Shaohua from the house, he was suddenly startled, and thought that something had happened to Yan Kaizhi, but Shaohua asked: "Tell me honestly, who is this person and why is he with you!" ”
Fulin was forced to retreat, looking at Shaohua's unhappy face, he raised his hands to block his chest, made a obedient appearance, and said in a good voice: "Wait, wait, don't get excited, who is this person you are talking about, you let me know who you are talking about." ”
Shaohua was annoyed in his heart, he didn't care about Fulin's compromise at all, and said with a straight face: "You came from Liangcheng, and who else did you bring, you don't know." When Yan Kaizhi opened and closed his mouth, he seemed to have the feeling of treating Mo Er as Xin Zimo's stand-in, so how could she, as a deity, swallow this breath. If Yan Kaizhi likes someone else, and Mo Er is also a stand-in, then she feels better. Obviously, Yan Kaizhi likes her, whether it is Xin Zimo or Li Shaohua, she is the only one, but a third person actually appeared to play Xin Zimo's position.
Fu Lin scratched his head and thought for a while, and made a sudden realization, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was killed by Shaohua's sharp eye knife, and he was a little hairy, "You said Miss Mo'er, don't look at me like that, I don't know where she came from, no, the carriage was prepared for us by Hu Taishou, and when we went out of the city, we found that someone was hiding in the carriage." "Fulin has a good impression of Mo'er, he is beautiful, and he is obedient to Yan Kaizhi. Although Shaohua is also kind to Yan Kaizhi, compared to Mo'er's meekness and humility, as a man, Fulin is still a little eccentric to Mo'er. He sighed and babbled: "You said that in the middle of the night, we went out of the city again, and it was not good to leave a flower-like girl's house outside the city, and we were also in a hurry, so just, huh, don't look at me like that, what I said is true." ”
In fact, Fulin didn't tell a lie, in order to cover Yan Kaizhi, Fulin personally drove a carriage to accompany Yan Kaizhi out of the city. Although Hu Taishou let him go, in order to prevent trouble, he still used a carriage. And how Hu Taishou put people in, and why Yan Kaizhi didn't find out in the car for so long, he doesn't know. Anyway, Mo'er is out of the way, and if you take it with you, you can just think of a person who washes clothes and serves tea.
Fulin thinks so, but it doesn't mean that Shaohua thinks so, especially since Mo'er has openly provoked. Yan Kaizhi couldn't tell the mind to be here at all, and she didn't come this time to block Yan Kaizhi, so she didn't plan to argue with Yan Kaizhi to drive people away, Shaohua knew in his heart that if he couldn't even settle Mo'er, then it would be difficult to guarantee that there would be no other Mo'er in the future.
Yan Kaizhi's attitude is unknown, but at least now he has no intention of having a child's affection, so he also gives Shaohua a good opportunity. From Liangcheng to northern Sichuan, although Yan Kaizhi didn't say what she wanted to hear, his actions were enough to show her heart, she didn't want to ruin her image in Yan Kai's heart because of this, and she didn't want anyone else to disturb their feelings. She wants to let Mo Er retreat, find out the mastermind behind it, and even more so she wants Yan Kaizhi to know that Xin Zimo is her.
Although she took a bit of a risk, Shaohua didn't dare to imagine that if she didn't follow her this time, but Mo Er stayed by Yan Kaizhi's side instead of her, and when Yan Kaizhi triumphed, she would be completely reduced to an abandoned woman.
She never believed in God's destiny, and if she loved someone, she should win it back.
Shaohua stared at Fu Lin's eyes, forcing him to retreat to the point where there was no way out, and even his child's play expression was retracted, "What about northern Sichuan?" The entire northern Sichuan is so big, can't she find a place to settle down, and she has to follow up the General's Mansion? Didn't she say that she grew up in northern Sichuan, let her find her parents, why let her follow you. ”
Fulin is no stranger to Shaohua, but he has never really confessed, but he knows a lot from Song Yu. Now that he is so face-to-face, Fulin suddenly has a feeling that Yan Kaizhi is going to be eaten to death by this woman in this life. So, he couldn't help but secretly sigh for Yan Kaizhi in his heart, looked at Shaohua's silence, raised his eyebrows, and pretended to be helpless, "You have to ask your husband to go, I'm not the one who speaks." ”
Shaohua knew that Fulin was shirking, if she asked Yan Kaizhi, why did she have to go to such great lengths. Ignoring Fu Lin's interruption, Shaohua asked seriously: "Then let me ask you, in the past few days, has she made any small moves, it is a strange move." ”
Fu Lin's mind turned, a wicked smile rose on the corner of his mouth, and he said deliberately: "How do I know this, she is not here to serve me." Unexpectedly, Shaohua picked up the wooden stick for burning the fire leaning against the wall, as if he was a hooligan forcing Liang Liang to become a prostitute, so that Fulin immediately did not dare to joke, "Cough, what strange behavior do you want to have, anyway, you haven't all the behaviors that a man in a little lady's picture should have, don't you know." ”
Shaohua frowned, dissatisfied with Fu Lin's Gu left and right to talk to him, "I'm not telling you this, I mean that in addition to the general, she has contact with the soldiers, or the kitchen, or you?" ”
Although nothing suspicious was found, the word spy echoed in Shaohua's mind for a long time, and she never figured out the origin of Mo'er's identity. But judging from the current situation, she is the most suspicious. However, since she can get to Yan Kaizhi's side, if she is really a spy, as long as she kills Yan Kaizhi or threatens Yan Kaizhi, she will achieve her goal. Could it be that Yan Kaizhi found out, so she couldn't do it, or because her target was not Yan Kaizhi.
Seeing that Shaohua didn't seem to be making trouble, Fulin thought seriously for a while, and asked in surprise: "Do you mean that she gave these poisons?" No, I look at her, cough, who can't be good-looking, I didn't think that much. Fulin felt a little slanderous in his heart, sure enough, the jealous woman was the most terrible, and even his unintentional praise of the other party could provoke her.
Shaohua sneered at Fu Lin, "It's true that people can't be good-looking, I thought you were ignoring all the ladies, but it turned out that you were just putting on a face for Banniang, and I don't know what she would think if she knew." ”
Obviously, she knows very well that in Fulin's heart, she always thinks that women should be docile, shy, and knowledgeable, so even if her identity is in front of her, Fulin still unabashedly expresses his good impression of Mo'er.
In the end, Fu Lin's death hole is still Hu Banniang, perhaps because of Hu Banniang's temperament, so he admires Mo Er's character even more. Maybe Fulin himself doesn't know, he obviously likes gentle and considerate ladies, but he can't do anything about Hu Banniang's coquettish liveliness. Shaohua is half a passer, so as a bystander, she didn't plan to break it, but was happy to see Fulin begging her for mercy in annoyance: "My good lady, please raise your noble hand, I've done it, don't provoke her, I'm afraid of her." ”
Shaohua smiled at his aggrieved and helpless appearance, and pretended to be generous, "Well, you tell me everything you know about her." ”
Fulin frowned, drooped his head, looking very innocent, he sighed vigorously and spit out all the words in his heart, "Actually, there is really nothing to say, all the way over, Yan Ye's face was not good, and he didn't say anything to her." As soon as I entered the city, I was really troubled by Mu Shi, and I didn't have time to pay attention to her, so if you want to ask me what she did, I really don't know. "He has explained everything he knows, and the rest is the business of the couple. Fulin offended Yan Kaizhi in his heart, and then decisively took refuge under Shaohua, and said very seriously: "But there is one thing, Yan Ye asked her to change this clothes, and she couldn't remember her if she changed Yan Ye anyway." I think it's strange, Yan Ye obviously doesn't know her, how can she think about it, she also said that she grew up in northern Sichuan, and even the general's mansion is very familiar. ”
It's just that Fulin didn't know, just because he knew everything without embellishment, he finally made Shaohua angry. She raised her eyebrows, and even her voice floated up, "Is that all?" ”
Flinyou raised his hand unknowingly and swore, "That's all, really, I don't lie to you." ”
Shaohua nodded, he was going to give him it out like this, "Okay, I know." ”
However, Fulin hit the muzzle of the gun himself, he looked at Shao Hua's thoughtful appearance, and asked curiously: "What's wrong?" Could it be that Yan Ye wants to accept her as a concubine? Decisively provoked Shaohua's angry eyes, he was still not afraid of death and said: "Why are you looking at me like this, I, I guess randomly, I see that every time she says a word, Yan Ye's expression is a little strange, but Yan Ye clearly doesn't know her, I don't think it looks like Yan Ye." ”
Shaohua sneered when she heard this, and made Fulin laugh all over her body, only to hear her shout at the outer wall: "Banniang, I'm done asking, you can handle the rest yourself." Hu Banniang walked over with a black face, and the whole person was like a black rakshasa, and he could see that Fulin wanted to escape.
Fulin was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, pointed at Shaohua's back, and shouted: "Hey, hey, how can you be like this, obviously you want me to say it all." He wanted to slip away, but Hu Banniang brought a wooden stick to block his way out of nowhere, and he was shocked.
Just as Fulin was about to run away, Hu Banniang took out a handful of powder out of nowhere and threw it at Fulin, Fulin choked and suddenly felt weak. Seeing that Hu Banniang had already covered her mouth and nose, with a look of deep hatred, she dragged him to the point where she couldn't pull him, and scolded in her mouth: "Okay, you are a Fulin, you are tired of being alive, and you actually praise other ladies so much, just put on a stinky face for me!" As long as others are like flowers, I am nothing, and I will never spare you today. ”
"Help!" Fulin only had time to shout, and the door was closed by Hu Banniang.
Shaohua naturally didn't bother with their affairs, thinking about Fu Lin's words, and walked back with a heavy heart.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she bumped into someone, she subconsciously wanted to scold the other party for being rude, and suddenly remembered that her identity here was not the general's wife, and she complained a little about Yan Kaizhi's arrangement. As a result, a surprised call made her heart startled, "Little Wu, why did you come here?" ”
Hearing this familiar and special title, Shaohua immediately raised his head, and what caught his eye was Bo Yan's face. After not seeing him for a long time, his facial features have become more handsome and masculine, especially this iron-armored uniform, if he hadn't taken the initiative to call Shaohua's name, Shaohua wouldn't have dared to recognize him at all.
Shaohua couldn't believe it, and shouted cautiously: "Brother Boyan? ”
Hearing Shaohua's response, a smile also appeared on Bo Yan's calm face, "I thought I had seen the wrong person, why are you here." Subconsciously thinking of Yan Kaizhi, his expression froze for a moment, and when he saw Shaohua's face embarrassed, as if there was something unspeakable, he couldn't help frowning, "What's wrong, did something happen?" ”
For Shaohua, the one who can be called an elder brother, except for Li Sinian, is that Bo Yan feels very kind to her. I don't know if it's because they were originally childhood sweethearts, when they saw Bo Yan, Shaohua couldn't hold back his mood and wanted to show weakness to him.
Just when she opened her mouth, Mu Shi really came out from behind with a black face, looked at Bo Yan, and then looked at Shaohua, and seemed to recognize Shaohua as the person who embarrassed him, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth contemptuously: "Zhuang Yuanlang is really a good means, even the general's personal maid has been subdued, no wonder the general treats you with admiration." ”
Shaohua was furious when she heard his frivolous words, and Bo Yan immediately glanced at her, shook her head gently, and signaled her not to act rashly. He hugged his fist at Mu Shizhen, "Lord Mu, please pay attention to your words, if you make the general angry again, no one will be able to protect Lord Mu." ”
When Mu Shi Zhen heard this, he gritted his teeth in anger, "Even you dare to yell at me?!" ”
Bo Yan looked calm, lowered his eyes, and made a respectful look, "Don't dare, just remind Lord Mu that in the end, the emperor asked General Yan to lead the troops to fight, not you and me." ”
Mu Shizhen snorted casually, and walked over disdainfully, because of his height, he stood and happened to meet Bo Yan's eyes, "I am the person who Prime Minister Fang specially instructed to come and stare at you, if you have the ability, you can go to Prime Minister Fang and talk to it yourself!" ”
Bo Yan raised his eyebrows lightly, made a look like this, and then smiled: "I think after the battle, the general will definitely find Prime Minister Fang to make it clear, but before that, Lord Mu still keeps his duty." After speaking, he winked at Shaohua, and symbolically arched his hand at Mu Shizhen, and then strode away, making Shaohua confused.
