Chapter 285: The secret letter comes from the north
"Hoof it, hoof it ......"
On the official road from Gushi to Shangcai, running for five hundred horses, the leader was wearing a crown robe and a high crown but a long sword hanging from his waist, it was Zhao Yu, the head of the Zhao family. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe autumn trees on both sides are green, flying away from the finches, sometimes circling the branches, and the Russian array is flying, which has a unique northern style.
If it was usual, he would have stopped at Gefu, but now he has no intention of the scenery, just burying his head in the road. Since Liu Nong sent a letter to him, Gushi County has been far away from the scouts and collected the people. However, even so, he was still worried in his heart. Therefore, he went straight to Shangcai early in the morning, intending to find Liu Nong to ask what was going on.
Zhao Yan glanced at the long sword on Zhao Yu's waist, his eyes showed envy, but he teased: "I heard that Liu Weiyu has a sword name Chu Yan, and the eldest brother named the sword: Han Que." As far as my brother is concerned, I don't give in! ”
Zhao Yu's face turned red, touched his waist sword, and said with a smile: "Liu Weiyu is a hero in the world, how dare Zhao Yu compare with him." Hugh had to covet this sword, and when he waited, I asked Liu Weilu for another one, and I gave it to you. ”
Zhao Yanxi said: "Big brother, is this true? ”
"Naturally!"
Zhao Yue tightened the sword on his waist, and in a happy mood, his expression was slightly relaxed, this sword was given to him by Liu Nong, and the iron was sharpened like clay. And Liu Nong likes to travel in a robe and a sword, his demeanor is both chic and handsome, and for a while, he was imitated by the children of the Zhao family, and almost everyone wore a robe and a sword.
When I walked out of the woods, a hill appeared in front of me, and a seven-zhang high sentry tower stood in the grass.
"Woo......"
The horn spread from afar, Zhao Yu hit the horse and shouted, "Don't be alarmed by the sentry, Zhao Yu will meet Liu Weiyu." ”
The white robe on the sentry argued carefully, his expression was relaxed, and the horn sounded three times in a row, and then he put down the torch he wanted to light and said with a smile: "Zhao Fujun, my little Langjun was still here yesterday, and he said that he wanted to go to Gushi to gather with Lang Jun in the near future, but Zhao Fujun arrived first. ”
"Haha, the white robe is against the wind and the people, and the hard work is still very hard. Zhao Yu has two urns of inferior wine and three bundles of dried meat, which are placed under the post. Later, and-off! ”
Zhao Yu laughed loudly, ordered someone to put down the wine and meat, and led the army into Shangcai.
As soon as I entered Shangcai, I felt different, the young and strong people in the village came and went, all carrying weapons, and their cautious eyes searched for Zhao Yu and others, and in the wide county road, the horses' hooves rolled, and hundreds of white robes ran from afar.
Zhao Yu patted his horse to catch up, rode towards him, and waved his way: "Zhao Yu, have you seen the county lieutenant of Qu, can Liu Weiyu be in the city?" ”
Qu Ping dragged the lance and said, "The general is in the city, and come with me." ”
Zhao Yu followed Qu Ping along the road, until the county town peak, but saw that there was a battalion under the peak of the drill, back and forth sword light Huohuo, did not hear the sound of shouting and killing, but it was a rock guard under Du Wu.
After watching the performance for a while, Zhao Yan's expression changed greatly, and he stopped talking.
Zhao Yu smiled slightly, shook his head at it, and then, thousands of troops crawled up, entered the urn city, entered the inner city, and were heavily guarded along the way, and the iron armor and cold knives patrolling the city could be seen everywhere, although it was not three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, but it was also similar.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Yu felt uneasy in his heart, his brows immediately tightened tighter, and he camped his troops in the military camp in the east of the city, and hurried to the county office with Zhao Yan.
Once he stepped into the county office, the atmosphere changed, without it, because at the door of the county office, there were a few warblers releasing paper warblers, and Zhao Yue knew them.
Twelve or thirteen years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, wearing a coarse cloth skirt, scattered behind the back, and the green silk hanging down to the crook of the legs, is the daughter of Xue Gong, the inner official of Shangcai, the little black girl; is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the person who is graceful and slender, and the person who attacks the Luo skirt is Liu Weiyu's maid weaving; There is still a daughter, who is almost the same age as the little black girl, and her eyes are very smart, and the most important thing is that little cherry lips, even if she doesn't smile, she is slightly upturned, it is ......
"Ah, it's going to fly......"
Because the wind was too strong, and the three girls put a paper warbler, therefore, the three girls, you pull the east, I pull the west, and the paper warbler is crooked, and I see that it is about to fly away. Suddenly, the woman with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned shook vigorously, and then she heard a "poof", and the paper warbler line broke.
"Black Carbon Head!!"
"Whoosh!"
With the slightly upturned female cry of the corner of her mouth, a white shadow jumped down from the wall at a height of the zhang, and took advantage of the situation in mid-air, pulling to the head of the paper warbler's thread. The figure fell very lightly, his hands kept wrapping around the thread, pulled back the paper warbler, held it, walked in front of the woman, rubbed a snake's hair, and said with a smile: "Luo Yu, give!" ”
"Hmph, the thread is knotted, how to put it again!" Luo Yu took the paper warbler, and his beak was raised higher.
At this time, the little black girl saw Zhao Yu who was stunned on the side, raised her thin eyebrows, cut her eyes twice, pulled the weaving element beside her, and then held her hand towards Zhao Yu and said softly: "Heiya, I have seen Zhao Fujun." "After that, the blessings have not risen, and the long eyelashes are sighing.
Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows, smiled lightly, took out something from his arms, handed it over, and said with a smile: "This is an embroidered hairpin, Xue Xiaoniang admires it, just right!" ”
The little black girl glanced at the hairpin, her mouth pursed, she got up slowly, didn't look at Zhao Yu, and threw down a sentence faintly: "Zhao Fujun's things, the black girl deserves it." Father's words, courtesy is still exchanged, and it can last for a long time. If the black girl is granted, I am afraid that there is nothing to give back! As he spoke, he shook the things in his hand.
It was a shermois hairpin, which made Zhao Yu's eyes flash.
"Poof......
"Gege ......"
The laughter was endless, Zhao Yu's face turned red, and he put the hairpin in his hand into his arms, but his heart was inexplicably relieved, and he smiled at the three chirping little swallows, and then led Zhao Yan into the office.
Zhao Yan endured it for a long time, and suddenly said: "Big brother, who is Liu Weiyu at the bottom?" Under his rule, there are many swords and armor, but there are laughter and singing. If you compare it with the solid beginning, you will feel two lifetimes. ”
Zhao Yu paused, frowned and thought about it, and replied: "Brother, more than ten years ago, Yuzhou was like this. Liu Weiyu is a real celebrity, and he can keep his soldiers and armor outside, so that the people can live in peace. If the people are safe, they will return to normal, and the fields will hear the singing. Herdsmen, too. ”
While talking, the two came to the backyard of the office, where a platoon of soldiers waited.
Zhao Yu was about to step forward, but saw a person walking out of the West Courtyard. The people who came didn't seem to see Zhao Yu and Zhao Yan, and strode towards the east courtyard. When they passed by the side of the two of them, they raised their eyebrows, snorted coldly, and walked faster, and they did not pass through the entrance of the courtyard, but the soldiers closed their heads together with respectful expressions.
"Hoo ......"
Zhao Yu shook his head and couldn't help but exhale.
Zhao Yan's eyes chased after her waist sword, the more she narrowed, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Yingchuan Xun's family, Xun Guanniang, Qi woman, in the past, this Shu, at the age of fourteen, traveled thousands of miles and led the army to save his father!" A month ago, he brought hundreds of horsemen and horses to the west of the Cai River, coercing Zhang Man to bow down and greet him. My generation, it's better to do it! It's just that why is it on Cai instead of Xiangyang or Yingchuan? Mo Fei, ...... with Liu Weiyu"
"Brother Yan, Hugh is talking nonsense!"
Zhao Yu looked startled, and hurriedly restrained his brother.
However, it was too late, the red shadow flickered at the gate of the courtyard, and Xun Niangzi, who was wearing a red cloak on her shoulder, went and returned, her face was frosty, her eyes were hidden, and she didn't say a word, slowly pulled out the gorgeous long sword on her waist, walked to the two of them step by step, raised her sword, and pointed at Zhao Yu: "You, who is it?" ”
Zhao Yu was embarrassed, if you talk about family history, Yingchuan Xun clan and Shu clan Zhao clan are not the difference between heaven and earth, although Xun Niangzi asked knowingly, but he also had to take a deep look and said: "Zhao Yu, I have seen Xun Niangzi!" Fang Cai gave up his brother for a while, please forgive Xun Niangzi! ”
Xun Niangzi's face did not change, and she raised her sword and pointed at Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan was stunned, his face suddenly turned red, and he said: "Gushi, Zhao Yan, I've seen ......."
"Huh!"
The light flashed, Zhao Yan only felt a light on his head, and then, an object rolled off his neck, and "Pu" fell on the bluestone slab, and he couldn't help but look down and see that it was a half-cut crown.
"If you talk nonsense again, the one who is taken by Guan Niang will not be the crown of Er, and the head of Nell!" Xun Niangzi said lightly, turned around silently, put the gorgeous long sword into the sheath, and slowly walked into the courtyard.
The armor soldier at the gate of the courtyard frowned, trying to hold back a laugh.
Zhao Yan was stunned and picked up the crown, his face was red and blue for a while. Zhao Yu patted him on the shoulder and whispered a few words. Zhao Yan's expression changed, nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "What the eldest brother said is extremely true, how can you dance the knife as a little girl from a high-ranking family......"
"Brother Yan!" Zhao Yu snorted softly.
"Big Brother......
Zhao Yan raised his head, looking aggrieved, but secretly glanced at the door, and saw that there was no more red shadow flying, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Yingchuan Xun has retreated into Jiangdong, half of Xiangyang, half of Jiankang, but there are still children guarding Yingchuan to observe the situation, Xun Guanniang's brother Xun Rui is the internal official of Yingchuan, and now Yingchuan has no county guard, only Xun is dominant. Even though the north is now only strong, the Xun clan still has 3,000 pieces of Yingchuan, and the deep roots are far from being comparable to the Zhao clan.
Zhao Yu shook his head helplessly, patted Zhao Yan's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yan, don't say anything more, and follow me into meet Liu Weiyu." ”
"Yes, big brother." Zhao Yanshang came to Shangcai for the first time with Zhao Yu, first shocked by Shangcai Junwei, then stunned by Shangcai Minfeng, and then stunned by Xun Niangzi's heroic posture, and suddenly looked lonely.
The first soldier was interrupted by Xun Niangzi, and he forgot to communicate inward.
When the two entered the courtyard, Zhao Yan saw at a glance that there was an old locust tree inside.
Under the tree, there are white reed mats and ebony cases.
There is a chessboard on the case, a man and a woman, playing against each other. The two of them each served a maid, Zhao Yan, the maid on the woman's side, did not know, and Zhao Yan, the maid on the man's side, had seen it, but it was Hongxiao, one of the strange women in the Shangcai army. There are three women in the Shangcai army, all of whom are not idle people, Xun Guanniang, Hong Xiao, and Kong Zhen.
The man was dressed in a slender arrow robe, his sword eyebrows were sharp, and his eyes were as clear as a lake, which made people dare not look directly when he opened and closed. It is Shangcai Fujun, Runan Internal Officials, Weilu Generals, Liu Nong, Liu Zhanzhen. Born as a human being, it should be so.
The woman sat with her back to her, combing her fallen horse bun, covered in a snow veil, and did not see her face, but her posture was enough to teach people to be unforgettable.
"Ahem!!"
At this time, the eldest brother coughed heavily, interrupting Zhao Yan's gaze and thoughts, and at the same time disturbing the people playing chess.
"Zhao Yu, I've seen Liu Weiyu."
"Zhao Yan, I've seen Liu Weiyu."
The two Zhao brothers are all deeply together. Zhao Yu glanced at Liu Nong, didn't look at Qiao Yousi, but knew who this woman was, took a diagonal step, blocked Zhao Yan's gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Yue doesn't know that Liu Weiyu is playing chess in the courtyard, so he is reckless and rude, please don't blame!" ”
"Smack!"
Liu Nong's brows furrowed, and then, with a slight smile, he pressed the chess pieces in his hand, and smiled at the bridge You Si: "You Si, if you talk about chess skills, Shang Cai Weixun is a good lady." Liu Nong, how much is too late! ”
After speaking, he brushed the hem of his robe, nodded to Xun Niangzi, and motioned to Xun Niangzi and Qiao You to continue playing, and Xun Niangzi raised the corners of her mouth.
Qiao Yousi smiled lightly, picked up the child into the pot, and said softly: "If Xun Niangzi doesn't think Yousi's chess skills are shallow, you might as well enter the game." ”
Seeing that it is not the same as the same house, Xun Niangzi frowned, glanced at the two Zhao brothers, and knew that Qiao Yousi did not want to see irrelevant people, when he walked to the side room with Qiao Yousi, he said while walking: "You Si, the east courtyard is cramped, not as vast as the west courtyard, Mo Ruo moved to the west courtyard with Guan Niang, in the future, you and my sisters will also be good to the moon, hand to talk all night." ”
"Puff ......," Qingyan chuckled.
Zhao Yu and Zhao Yan's expressions changed, Liu Nong's body paused for a moment, but his complexion did not change, he walked quickly towards the Zhao brothers, and saluted back: "Liu Zhao intersects, it is irreversible, why is Zhao Langjun so polite?" If you are rude, you should be in Liu Nong. and enter, and continue. ”
At that moment, the three of them entered the main room.
Zhao Yu had something in his heart, took a sip of tea, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Weiyu, now that the war in the north has started, I don't know if Zu Yuzhou can win this time." If it is lost, if it is defeated in Huainan last year, Runan and Ruyin may be harmed by the scourge of wandering horses! ”
Liu Nong picked up the tea bowl, took a sip slowly, and said lightly: "Zhao Langjun, don't worry, this battle is a conspiracy between Yuzhou and Yanzhou. ”
Zhao Yu saw that Liu Nong was calm and relaxed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as his worries were gone, his pride immediately rose, and he said with a smile: "At that time, even if there is a loss, but Liu Wei is here, Zhao Yue is willing to be the queen of the horse!" Since the recovery of Yuzhou, even though Zuyuzhou has occasionally suffered defeats, and Shile has also sent rogue cavalry to plunder Ruyin and other counties, he has not dared to go deeper. It can be seen from this that Shile is afraid of Zuyuzhou! After a pause, he looked at Liu Nong deeply, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "If Shangcai and Gushi are leaning on each other, it will be difficult to break through the army!" ”
There is a sound in the words...... Liu Nong's sword eyebrows were raised, his thoughts were instantaneous, and he knew why he came, his heart suddenly relaxed, he waved towards Zhao Yu, and said with a smile: "Zhao Fujun is relieved, Liu Nong is definitely not a person who abandoned the people and fled!" Shangcai and Gushi should be one and one heart! ”
"Wonderful!!"
Zhao Yu patted his legs and praised, his expression was overjoyed, and his worries were dissipated for a while. As he said, as long as Liu Nong's army is in Shangcai, and the two sides conspire to fight together, even if Shi Le sends ten thousand troops to come, he can still defend it. If you only ride in the stream, you should not be afraid!
"Lang Jun ......"
At this time, Guo Pu hurriedly stepped into the hospital, walked straight to the room, tilted his head, saw the Zhao brothers, his expression was slightly stunned, and then he frowned, slowed down his pace without a trace, slowly entered, and said: "Lang Jun, there is a letter!" ”
Liu Nong took the letter and read it hurriedly, his sword eyebrows furrowed...... (To be continued.) )
