Chapter 108: Entering the City Together

Lu Shen showed the pass, rode into the city alone, probably accustomed to the desolate desert with wind and sand like a knife, when she first arrived prosperous, she was a little in a trance, and almost collided with a team of city patrol soldiers, after apologizing, she thought that she would have to back her identity to come out of the tray, and she could avoid entanglement, but she never thought that the other party just let her ride a horse slowly, and not gallop to hurt people, which made Lu Shen a little uncomfortable. Wuhou City, as the state city of Xihezhou, is located in the oasis, and is also known as the city without walls, because of the military strength of Helian Wuwei, who held the festival, and threatened that even if the Liyang Dynasty had the courage to fight Xihe Prefecture, he did not need to use the city wall to resist the enemy. In the Southern Dynasty, Lu Shen also heard of the fierce and good fighting of the Wuhou City Armor, if it is said that Murong Baoding alone took away the glory of a state by holding the martial arts review of the Orange Prefecture, then Xihe Prefecture will be scattered to two tun armies, one of which is the control of the Wuhou Army, the combat power is second only to the White Whale Army of the Imperial Horde Guard and the Tuoba Army God, Lu Shen thought that the combat power was so strong, the soldiers in the city were inevitably arrogant, for the vision, she did not think deeply, roughly asked the way, and went to the direction of Huanxi Spring, there is spring water in the city, it is said that there was a female body Bodhisattva out of the bath, so for hundreds of years every Tantric concubine has to come to the spring to bathe and cleanse, there is a thundering temple by the spring, every rainy season, thunder moves the skyAfter the Spring and Autumn Legigies ran north, only the northerners lived in Quanbei, and Quannan was gradually delivered to the Southern Dynasties, the boundaries were clear, but the family owned a wealthy private house in Huanxi Quanbei, purchased in the hands of a royal family in the north, and lived next to each other with the festival order, which can be seen that the family heritage, although the Lu family is a surname, it is only considered to be a light to stay in Quanbei, Lu Shen is close to Huanxi Spring, there is a luxury carriage hanging silk bell to meet him, a hundred slender jade bells, the sound is far more than the camel bell, Lu Shen raised his eyes when he heard the sound, A white-robed scarf face is a heroic man lifted the curtain, smiled at her gently, Lu Shen recognized him, is the eldest son of the family, a single name of a sandalwood character, and the year of establishment, no matter which dynasty and which generation, is already very married, the official residence of the well corridor captain, led three thousand cavalry, was placed on high hopes by the family, became the first hereditary general in Beimang, Chonggui compared with him, when it is really the light of the candle can be the same as the sun and the moon, the captain of the Yang Dynasty is as many as a cow, but the commander of the army is three or four hundred, and he has to be controlled by others in every way, in Beimang, it is a hundred times more real money, especially the military town captain in the border defense area, it can be regarded as a big step, not to mention that the Tan is still young, both civil and military, literary and artistic by the empress's blue eyes, is a rare Jinshi in Beimang, but also has a promising future, the sandalwood atmosphere is rough, but he likes scarves and Confucian shirts, and there is no pretentiousness, and Dong Zhuo is good, it was he who took the lead in chasing and killing Chen Zhibao who crossed the border with three thousand well corridors, such a character, not only has excellent skills, but also has a family background to rely on, and it is strange that there is no smooth progress, but every time Lu Shen sees the smiling and smiling Tan, he will feel uncomfortable, scared, and can't say where he doesn't like his actions, it can only be explained that it is a woman's intuition。

Lu Shen was originally half of the nominal daughter-in-law of the seed family, and she sat in the same car with the seed sandal, and it was not a matter of hurting the customs, and with the prestige of the two families, there was no need to care about those broken gossip, there was curling in the car,

In this kind of place, one or two ice and one or two gold, Xiaofu Xiaogui can't afford it, there is a mediocre-looking maid sitting on the side, and I don't see how she serves the family family, but Tan Tan took a pair of silver tongs and sandwiched ice chips to Lu Shen and the maid, Lu Shen shook his head and refused, but the maid didn't know the rules and took it, making a slight rattling sound, as if sensing that there were outsiders, not in a proper manner, and hurriedly covered his mouth, weakened his voice, and the sandalwood was slender, with long arms like an ape, bending down to lift the curtain of the car, draped up the hook, and Lu Shen could enjoy the scenery of the Joy Spring。 There is a spacious bluestone path by the spring, nestled in the shade of the trees, the wind and sand in the Western Regions, the sun is scorching, the wind and sand are blowing, but if you hide under the green shade, you can cool down soon, not like the south of the Yangtze River, it is stuffy, and people have nowhere to hide.

Tan Tan looked at Lu Shen and said softly: "Miss Lu, you have been wronged." ”

Lu Shen lowered his eyebrows and was silent. Tan Tan turned his head and sighed, "It's the seed family who can't stand you." ”

Lu Shen raised his head and stopped talking. Tan Tan smiled, straightened his figure, and had some meaning of sitting upright, waved his hand and said slowly: " I don't have a habit of rubbing salt on my family's wounds, the details of this trip, Miss Lu doesn't want to say, just write it on paper, and when the time comes, I don't have to face those nagging old guys, but say it in advance, the family is big, and the gossip below will naturally be indispensable, Miss Lu can go in and out of the left ear, and I will also inform the elders in the family, just as the family has never given the Lu family any gift letter of dowry, it will not tarnish Miss Lu's innocent reputation. Planting sandalwood can guarantee that in the future, Miss Lu will have a hundred years of good togetherness, and the seed family will not hesitate to come to congratulate her. ”

Lu Shen raised his head, looked directly at the future head of the seed family, and said with a resolute look in his eyes: "I am the daughter-in-law of the seed family in life, and I am a ghost in the seed family in death, and I am willing to be a widow for the seed laurel." After meeting his father, he will be persuaded to allow a secret marriage. ”

Tan Tan looked at the window, his brow furrowed.

Lu Shen's tone was clear, and he said: "It's Lu Shen's life, and he can't escape it." ”

When she arrived at the gate of the Chongjia Mansion, she got off the car first, stood on the side, and personally escorted her out of the carriage, and fell in the eyes of many characters at the door who have been pondering people's hearts all their lives, and she is destined to have a special taste in her heart. Seed Tan was sent outside the Yimen, did not cross the threshold, said that he was going out of the city to go to the Leiming Temple to burn incense, after saying goodbye to Lu Shen, returned to the carriage, the maid smiled, there was no half flattery, just like seeing a friend who had known each other for many years, Tan Tan was also accustomed to it, she held a piece of ice, her cheeks bulged, and asked softly and vaguely: "You excuse Lu Shen like this, and pick her from the whirlpool, will it make the seed family disgusted?" It's just that the words are provocative, let her marry into the seed family, force the seed Gui's house to fall down and not disperse, carefully pick up the sesame seeds and throw the watermelon. ”

Chong Tan sat cross-legged, his expression was relaxed, and he laughed softly: "How did Chong Gui die, who died, I'm not curious, there are too many enemies of the Chong family." Lu Shenpo was humiliated and returned, for a woman, it is already the limit, and if she provokes her, not to mention that she will collapse, I am afraid that the Lu family will also be annoyed, and the marriage of the two surnames is the general trend. Since I was born as the firstborn, I must have a long-term vision. Lu Shen has this determination and dares to marry and be widowed, which shows that she is not a short-sighted little woman, such an interesting woman really shouldn't be ruined in Xihe Prefecture. Blocking some wind and rain for her, it is reasonable and profitable, it is all right. ”

The maid clamped the ice chips with one hand, and held it in the air with the other hand, for fear of falling, so she lowered her head and bit it, chewed it heavily, she put down the silver tongs, and then said: "The woman's mind is repeated, and this incense may not allow her to always stand on your side in the future." ”

Chong Tan said indifferently: "She is not the kind of person who keeps to herself, she will definitely cause trouble in the future, and I will continue to protect her." ”

She suddenly covered her mouth and smiled: "Actually, as long as you want her body, everything is decided." ”

Tan Tan said with a look of grievance: "I'm afraid of ghosts." ”

She kicked Tan Tan lightly, and Tan Tan smiled and said, "You are much better looking than her." ”

She sighed: "Lu Shen is considered to have survived. ”

Tan Tan sighed: "Does this count as a good deed for me every day? When I arrive at the Leiming Temple, I will have the confidence to burn incense." ”

The turmoil that can overturn ordinary people is on the side of some people, but it will be blown away with a gentle breath.

Outside the city, there are still three miles away from the city, Xu Fengnian rode a horse on the pedestrian-like post road, deliberately constricted the gas machine, no mirage, suddenly sweated, no different from ordinary people, Xu Fengnian did not rush into the city, the shade on both sides of the post road is heavy, but there should be rules and regulations, the melon farmers who sell watermelons do not dare to approach the post road, just set up a shed twenty steps away from the road to sell and shout, Xu Fengnian turned over and dismounted, led the horse out of the post road, walked on the gravel ground, businessmen and travelers have a lot of bargaining, good at bargaining, can kill from a pound of melon fifty to ten yuan, Xu Fengnian led the horse slowly, saw a sturdy old farmer stall erected a wooden board, written with charcoal"One melon and one hundred papers, you can choose anything", Xu Fengnian glanced at the tanned melon farmer, and the latter who was squatting on the ground also cast his gaze, the latter seemed to see that his money was not deflated, and grinned: "This son, pick one? It's not delicious, I don't want you to pay a penny!"

Xu Fengnian, who wanted to move on, stopped and quipped: "Even if it's delicious, if I want to say it's not delicious, do you still charge money?"

The old farmer's eyes were not as good as those Diao people, and he said, "I still don't accept it." ”

Xu Fengnian let go of the reins, squatted down, a bunch of watermelons, and he didn't know where to start, "Uncle help pick one." ”

The old farmer took a small bench to Xu Fengnian, knocked on the watermelon, picked it up and put it down, and then picked a watermelon that was not small, seven or eight pounds, smashed it down with a punch, skillful, the watermelon was crisp and cracked, roughly broken in half, and handed it to Xu Fengnian, Xu Fengnian broke the watermelon, and asked while eating: "This melon is not cheap." ”

The old farmer smiled: "In other places, the price can also be pressed to ten pounds, but my melon is good, and the melons are also sweet, son, you see, how can I have more than five pounds of melons here, some large, there must be more than ten pounds, in fact, how to sell is not expensive, if the eye sockets are shallow guests, only pick a big one, a melon is spread out, a pound is less than ten yuan, but if you want me to say, this melon is still seven or eight pounds of the best, it is a pound of twelve or three dollars." I also have some money in my family, I don't want to make a fortune by making money, and I don't want to have a dirty relationship with those melon farmers in the neighborhood who only rely on selling melons to make a living. ”

Xu Fengnian didn't expect the old farmer to be so talkative, and smiled, "No wonder the old brother has a spirit, it turns out that he has a wide heart." ”

The melon farmer, who is already in the age of the sixtieth year but does not see the slightest decay and fatigue, also cut a melon himself, does not eat the heart of the melon, gnaws from the edge, and leaves the good things in the back of the shelf, which is exactly the same as Xu Fengnian's eating method, a little childish, the old farmer saw this scene, smiled heartily, and said: "I have also read some books, not much, and I like to shake the words secretly moved from some books when I speak, for fear of being looked down upon by a reader like Gongzi." ”

Xu Fengnian laughed at himself: "Uncle is scolding me." ”

The old man wiped the corners of his mouth with the cuffs, and said with a hearty smile: "Don't dare, I really envy the readers." ”

Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "Pointing out the country all day long, governing the country and leveling the world, it seems that everything can be done, and without them, it will never work, in fact, nothing can be done." Uncle, the scholar came to sell melons, and he can sell them to the surrounding melon farmers?"

The old man shook his head and said: "The son is partial and complete, and the scholars also have powerful characters who are not bad in civil and military affairs, and there are many Confucian generals during the Spring and Autumn Period." ”

It seems that he is afraid that his words will annoy his son, and he is afraid that Xu Fengnian will not pay, the old melon farmer said with a smile: "Scholars have the work of scholars, and after earning a thousand bells of Su in the book, it is better to be able to voice grievances for the people, and the sale of melons will be handed over to an old guy like me to do, and the well water will not interfere with the river water, and they will all live a good life." For example, when you were young, you traveled to study and read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, which is the best thing. ”

Xu Fengnian nibbled on the watermelon and said with a smile: "The uncle's insight can be described as insightful. It is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. ”

The old melon farmer was patted by a scholar, and he was very happy, and every wrinkle on his face was full of comfort, "Childe can listen to the old man's nonsense, and he is a real celebrity." ”

Xu Fengnian smiled and asked, "What about this melon?"

The old farmer was stunned for a moment, looked helpless, and said, "Sell you fifty yuan, you can't be less." ”

Xu Fengnian finished eating most of the watermelon, took out a small piece of broken silver from the money bag, about the weight of 100 yuan, and handed it to the old melon farmer who was not too elegant and not too elegant, and said: "Don't look for me to have extra money, just buy two melons, one for the old man to eat." ”

The old melon farmer was stunned for a moment again, and praised: "Who said that the scholar can't sell the melon, and the son comes to sell it, and it won't take a few years to go to the city to set up a big house." ”

Xu Fengnian also said helplessly: "Uncle said so, I really can't eat the second melon." ”

The old farmer said happily: "Look at what the son said, wait a while, the old man, I will give you a cloth bag, take two melons and hang them on the horse's back, and go to the city to find an inn with well water to chill it, and then pick it up, it is very cool." ”

Xu Fengnian finished eating the melon, sat on the small bench and looked at the scenery in Wuhou City, perhaps because he was in the oasis, he looked out along the post road, the clouds were thick, layer upon layer, straight down, as if he was about to be pressed in the city, there was a great spirit of the clouds of the nine heavens drooping, and there was only one line between heaven and earth.

Among this line, a building with eaves in the city is the most eye-catching.

Following Xu Fengnian's line of sight, the old farmer said: "There is the Leiming Temple, as soon as you enter the temple gate, you can see two rows of eighteen angry and fearful Heavenly King Warriors, the timid and ashamed, they dare not burn incense and worship the Buddha." Outside the temple is the famous Huanxi Spring of Xihe Prefecture, which is considered to be the Bodhisattva with the angry eyes of King Kong with low eyebrows, and the talented and beautiful people with prominent identities are willing to browse around the temple, Huanxi Spring has become more and more smoky and miasma over the years, in fact, there is nothing to see. If Childe believes in Buddhism, it is better to go to Leiming Temple. Childe rest assured, there are many big people in the city, but it is difficult to say that there is no one who bullies men and women, but there are only a handful, and Childe is a scholar, so he can't bully you. ”

Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "Uncle said this, it can be seen that Xihe Prefecture not only governs the army with the law, but also governs the government in a proper way, and is a well-deserved pillar of the imperial court." ”

The old farmer smiled, shook his head, and said, "I can't do it accurately. ”

Xu Fengnian looked at the really towering Thundering Temple, and said to himself: "Mortals seek freedom all their lives. ”

The squatting old farmer held the empty melon and sighed: "The Bodhisattva is happy in the air." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After Xu Fengnian died, the old melon farmer really picked two melons and put them into two cloth bags to give him, Xu Fengnian did not shirk it, calmly accepted it, hung one on the left and right sides of the horse, and after getting on the horse, he sat on the back of the horse and hugged his fist to say goodbye, and the old melon farmer waved his hand with a smile.

Life meets and disperses, can't stand scrutiny, most of them never see each other again, it is very commendable to be able to hate each other, and even leave a good thought.

Xu Fengnian didn't think about this stubble, but when he met an interesting old man from Beimang, what he thought in his heart was the next sneak in Wuhou City. Maybe it's a dangerous assassination and hunting of the Tuoba Spring Falcon.

In the past, in Beiliang, which seemed to be an iron bucket, but there was actually an undercurrent surging, all the characters of the three religions and nine streams sought revenge and found him, and all kinds of stories and legends were countless joys and sorrows, gathered together, and they could compile a book "How to Assassinate and Kill Xu Xiao and the Prince", plus a "Complete Collection of Assassins' Dead Soldiers". Most of these dead people are unswerving to death, and they have to fly to fight the fire at the cost of their lives, but many of the so-called blood feuds can be traced back to the grandfather's generation, but no one will be merciful when killing His Royal Highness. Xu Fengnian knew better that when he succeeded the king of Beiliang one day, the number of assassinations would only increase, not decrease. The reason is very straightforward, can't you kill the person who claims to be slaughtered that even the prince of Yama doesn't dare to collect, and can't kill a child of the anointment who can't even compete for military power with a foreign surname?

Chen Zhibao doesn't kill Xu Fengnian, some people come to kill, and they don't need the white-clothed war fairy to borrow a knife to kill people.

Xu Fengnian carried a sword and a box and melon, and went straight to Wuhou City. My QT room is open!Beacon Opera Princes Official QT Room No.[1655]
