Four days later, he left Guanzhou.

To the north is Weizhou, the station of the Weisheng Army in Hexi.

After receiving the report, the commander of the Weisheng Army sent 500 cavalry to gallop to the border between Guanzhou and Weizhou to take over the task of escorting the troops in Weizhou.

Passing through the three counties of Weizhou, after entering the city, the ordinary people are swords or hanging bows, describing fierce, the street market seems to be not much crowded, but the noise is no worse than the county seat of Yuanzhou and Guanzhou, because these people's voices are loud, one person speaks as much as ordinary three, and even women and children roar more loudly.

Xiao Yan accompanied Shen Qingyi to the market with great interest.

As soon as Xiao Cong heard about going to the market, he said that he went to the teahouse to observe the people's feelings, Xiao Yan felt that it was boring to sit in the teahouse and listen to and rap, but it was interesting to go to the market, you can see different shops, different goods, different customs, and different dresses. It is rare to see Lang Jun wearing wide-sleeved robes and ladies with large sleeves and long skirts, men mostly wear knee-length robes with arrow sleeves or short beard breeches, women mostly wear lapels and plackets with tripping buttons, wear a top cone hat on their heads, and wear high leather boots or high felt boots on their feet, all of which are sassy and neat.

There are also a lot of Han and Hu mixed races here, Weizhou encourages Han and Hu intermarriage, more than 100 years later, many Hu people have long been mixed with the Han people, can not distinguish each other, even the belief in the sect is also a mixed family, there are believers, there are believers, there are also believers in the Nestorian religion, Manichaeism.

Mo He Sanniang, who was a guide for Shen Qingyi and Xiao Yan, was a mixture of the Qiang surname and the Han scholars, wearing Dao beads on her left wrist and Buddha beads on her right wrist, with a Jingjiao cross hanging on the collar of her neck, and gorgeous Jacket flames embroidered with gold thread on the sleeves on both sides. Xiao Yan was very happy to hear it, and joked, don't these immortals, Buddhas, and gods fight when your family eats? Mo He Sanniang smiled hoistfully, "We are the Tang Dynasty, the sky is as vast as the sea, the gods and Buddhas have a place, each occupies its own place, what to do in a fight." Another sentence came out, "Our family Ah Lang said that we must talk about convincing people with virtue." Xiao Yan laughed, this sentence is Confucian.

"This is Weizhou! ......" Xiao Yan sighed to her brother after she came back, she felt the fierce aura of this land, this breath surging in the veins of people, they have a rough wildness, vitality and publicity, even if they pay attention to etiquette, poetry and books, it is also elegant and heroic, and there is a kind of inclusive grandeur.

After listening to her exclamation, Xiao Cong said with a gloomy voice: "This is not Weizhou's bearing, but Datang's bearing." ”

Because of the existence of the Tang Dynasty, there is the bearing of Weizhou.

"This is Huaxia's bearing." Shen Qingyi added, his voice carrying a long distance, "Not every Central Plains dynasty can be called Huaxia. Datang's magnanimity lies in the fact that it is Chinese. ”

Xiao Yan listened half-understood.

Xiao Cong's Qinghe voice said: "Dressed in China, civilized in etiquette and music, the Tang Dynasty integrates the essence of China and carries forward this essence, so Xia Shang Zhou is Huaxia, Qin and Han are Huaxia, and Datang is Huaxia." ”

In the hearts of the family with a long history and profound heritage, only these six Central Plains dynasties can be called Huaxia.

Xiao Yan thought for a while and said, "Then isn't the Liang Dynasty established by our Xiao ancestors counted?" ”

Xiao Cong was silent for a while, and said, "It's only half of China." ”

Xiao Yan was confused when he heard it, and he felt that his brother's words were heavy, so he looked at Shen Qingyi for a solution.

Shen Qingyi was in a very good mood because Xiao Yan had been shopping with her all morning, glanced at the autumn water knife on her lap, and said in a way that she could understand better: "Huaxia is like a strong man in martial arts, confident, magnificent, and seeking. Martial arts powerhouse, inclusive, inclusive, none, learning, insufficient, improving, and then fusing to create a new one. And the essence of the strong martial arts will not change, but will become more powerful because of absorption. Huaxia is a strong man of civilization, and its torso can accept the wind from any part of the sky and the ocean, but after entering its lungs, it is the breath of Huaxia. - Datang can do this, so it is Huaxia. ”

"Confident, remarkable, and seeking......" Xiao Yan pondered over and over again in his heart, only to feel that the water droplets on the Lingtai were clearer, the golden light was more transparent, and his mood unconsciously took a step forward.

She straightened up, saluted Shen Qingyi, and said, "Yan Chengjiao." ”

Shen Qingyi saw her solemn expression and teased her, "What's the matter, it's your Buddha Zhongdao again?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded very seriously and smiled again, "The Beidou in the sky, the stars of enlightenment." ”

Shen Qing snorted and couldn't help but smile again.

Xiao Cong was relieved that Seventeen finally understood that "women were in an irritable mood for a few days" and knew how to speak to please people.

This is a beautiful misunderstanding.

***

The next day, the line approached the city of Weizhou.

Thirty miles south of the state city, there are 100 horsemen, the military appearance is majestic, and there is a big banner with the word "Wei".

Wei Yun led a hundred horsemen to meet Xiao Cong here.

Xiao Yan looked up and saw a forty-year-old Confucian man wearing a black gauze soft head and a Confucian shirt, coming down from the white bamboo eaves, gentle and elegant, like a gentleman.

This is Wei Yun, the general of the Wasion Army and the general of Guide.

She heard from the fourth brother that when this General Wei was fighting in the army, he also wore a Confucian uniform, walked with a strong soldier carrying the eaves, and commanded with a bamboo in his hand, looking like a scholar on the battlefield.

But it would be a mistake to think that he is weak.

Wei Yun defeated the Yan and Zhou armies three times, achieving his title of "Wei Hu".

Cao Yuandu, the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Army, had suffered a big loss from this Confucian general in the exercise of the five armies of the Hexi Army, and when he saw him, he had a toothache and said, "When the two tigers meet, there will be an injury!" ”

Xiao Yu once commented on Wei Yun and said: "Jingzhao Wei Huairui, Sanwu Zhou Gongjin also." ”

The history books say that Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin are elegant and outstanding, and their appearance is extraordinary, Wei Yun is forty years old, and he is also handsome and elegant, and his bearing is magnificent.

Xiao Yan compared him with his father Liang Guogong, and felt that his father's authority was heavier, and Wei Yun's gentlemanly demeanor was better.

Wei Yun stepped forward and saluted, smiled gently and warmly, and said, "The son of the world has worked hard all the way. ”

Xiao Cong was wearing a purple round-necked official uniform of the prince of the country, with a Qilin regiment embroidered with martial ranks on his shoulders and sleeves, and a thirteen gold belt around his waist and a military attache horizontal sword, but his temperament was handsome, his eyebrows and eyes were elegant like ink, and he raised his hand to return the salute, "General Lao is out to greet him." ”

Wei Yun seemed to appreciate his elegant temperament, and said with a smile: "I heard that the prince of Confucianism is outstanding, and he has prepared a comfortable bed in the study, and he wants to have a night talk with the prince." ”

Xiao Congqing smiled, "Do you dare to be happy?" ”

An old man and a young man looked at each other and laughed.

Xiao Cong turned sideways and introduced to Wei Yun: "This is a certain seventeenth brother Yan, the word is Yuezhi." ”

Xiao Yan took a step forward and saluted, "Xiao Yan has seen General Wei. ”

Because of her meritorious service in killing the thief, she had been awarded the rank of captain from the Jiupin by the Hexi Metropolitan Governor's Office the day before, wearing a low-grade martial arts light cyan shoulder embroidered flying fish round neck narrow-sleeved official uniform, with a stone belt around the waist and a Qiu water knife, and her posture was delicate and exuding a sharp spirit.

Wei Yun has been in the army for 20 years, his eyesight is old, and he can see at a glance that it is the sharpness of the sword after draining blood, thinking of the military report that the son was attacked and killed by thieves, he smiled on his face and praised it: "Xiao Lang is a sharp sword." ”

Xiao Cong laughed.

Xiao Yan was praised in amazement, but he said proudly: "It's not as good as my ancestor." ”

Wei Yun laughed.

At that time, Emperor Gaozongwu praised Xiao Cheng, the governor of Hexi: "The horizontal knife is immediate, and the gold-faced Wenhou is also." Wei Yun used this allusion to praise Xiao Yan's young heroism, with the reputation of the elders for the younger generations. Xiao Yan said frankly, "It's not too late", which means that it's not as good as now, it's less

The calm and heroic efforts of the year are all leaping into these three words.

Wei Yun laughed and praised: "Good ambition!" ”

He turned back to Yingwu Erlang who was standing behind him and said, "You can say 'not as good as my father' in the future, hahaha!" ”

The young man wearing the scarlet robe of the Hexi Army and covered with navy blue leather armor clenched his fists and responded: "Yes, father." ”

Wei Yun introduced to Xiao Cong: "This is a certain San Lang Ying Zhou, the word Ji Heng, and the current captain of the A Regiment of Youyi Battalion. ”

Wei Yingzhou stepped forward and saluted, "Ying Zhou has seen the son." ”

Xiao Cong saw that he was twenty-four or five years old, his eyebrows were like hanging swords, his temples were obliquely reclined, the bridge of his nose was high, his facial features were as distinct as a knife, and his eyes were as sharp as thin blades, which were completely two extremes with his father's elegant demeanor.

Xiao Cong sighed in his heart: Father Yan, Huzi also!

The Youyi camp is responsible for patrolling and sentry in the army, which is the most dangerous in wartime and the hardest in peacetime.

Wei Shengjun said "under the first climb, you Yi", referring to the first camp in addition to playing the striker, is the most elite of the camp of the youyi battalion, Wei Yingzhou can become the captain of the Youyi who commands 200 horsemen at the age of a weak crown, and he is worthy of being a "tiger".

Xiao Yanwujie was under Wei Yingzhou, saluted him first, Wei Yingzhou raised his hand to salute back, and the two looked at each other, one was bright and bright, and the other was as sharp as a blade, as if there was an invisible spark stabbed out with a "click".

Wei Yingzhou's voice was also as sharp as a blade, "I heard that Seventeen Lang Jun's sword skills are outstanding, so I will fight another day." ”

"Okay." Xiao Yan has always been straightforward about the competition.

Wei Yingzhou seemed to be very happy with her, although it was difficult to see the happy expression on his handsome and cold face.

Wei Yun then introduced the captains, soldiers and staff who came to greet Xiao Cong, and after greeting each other, they got on their carriages and horses and galloped to Weizhou City under the escort of cavalry.

The Weisheng army is stationed in the city of Weizhou, and the military government is located in the north of the inner city, which is on the same central axis as the Thorn Shifu at the southern end of the inner city, and there are more than a dozen square cities in the middle. Xiao Cong and his entourage came from the south, and the street from the main gate of the southern city to the military office in the inner city has been cleared, and it is guarded by a team of Weisheng sergeants in scarlet robes and navy blue leather armor.

The brigade entered the city from the south gate, and went north along the Nancheng Avenue, from the outer city to the inner city all the way to the guard, and the streets and alleys in the distance seemed to be patrolled by sergeants, and the atmosphere was quite solemn.

Xiao Cong lowered the curtain on the car window and frowned.

Based on his father's comments on Wei Yun, this gentleman is a light-weighted person, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and he should not be so martial law in Weizhou City because he was attacked in Yuanzhou.

Could it be that something else is going on in Weizhou?

The cavalry team escorted the carriage and horses to the General Guide Palace.

The residence of Xiao Cong and his family should be placed here.

Wei Yun's Guide General's Mansion is huge, and on the basis of the original general's residence, it has been doubled, and the heavy buildings are very grand at a glance.

Xiao Yan heard from the fourth brother that this General Wei was born in Jingzhao Wei, and belonged to the same family with the surname A as the Lanling Xiao family, and he was the son-in-law of the Yanzhi, even if the cost of expanding the house was several times higher, he could afford it.

The threshold of the main gate of the General's Mansion has been removed, and the carriage and horse go straight in, and they go west to the eaves gate of the West Road Courtyard before stopping.

Mrs. Wei, who was dressed in a large-sleeved dress and beaded makeup, led a group of servants and maids to greet her outside the eaves door, and four shoulders covered with jade pieces and bead pads were prepared outside the door.

After getting off the horse, it was another salute.

Xiao Cong and Shen Qingyi sat on their shoulders, Wei Yun still sat on his white bamboo eaves, Xiao Yan and Wei Yingzhou didn't like to sit on their shoulders in the home house and walk briskly.

The West Road Courtyard that enters from the West Eaves Gate is the garden built by Wei Mansion, and there is a "Zhiren Garden" with Wei Yun's personal title on the door plaque, and Xiao Yan's heart should be taken from the Confucian classics in the sentence "The Knower is happy with the water, and the benevolent is from the Mountain".

Outside the gate of the garden, there are guards of the sergeants, and when you enter the garden, you can see a team of sergeants patrolling from time to time, making this elegant and quiet garden as solemn as a military camp.

Xiao Cong's eyebrows raised again.

Does Zhiren Yuan have a noble person to live in?

The author has something to say: Remarks:

1. Jingzhao Webster: Jingzhao is the county wang.

Jingzhao County, from the Three Kingdoms to the Tang Dynasty, governed the Chang'an region. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty promoted Yongzhou to Jingzhao Mansion, and Jingzhao County was replaced by Jingzhao Mansion from then on.

2. "The Analects of Yongye": "Those who know are happy with water, and those who are benevolent are happy with mountains." ”

"Zhi" through "Zhi", happy to read yào, means: hobby -

After taking anti-inflammatory drugs for a few days, the gums have not yet become inflammatory, can the tooth really be extracted at the appointed tooth extraction time, fall!

A certain West once again felt the consequences of choosing to bear, and when the tooth didn't hurt, did he decisively choose to extract the tooth and still have the pain now? Procrastination and luck have really taken their toll.
