Section 191 Soldiers
Yang Tianhong saw Yang Hu's collapsed shoulders, the wrapping inside was very thick, and it was raised high under the clothes. He reached out and touched it gently www.biquge.info Yang Hu's body suddenly shrank, his whole person was twitching, his face was distorted because of pain, cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, and he couldn't help but cry out "ah".
"All his bones were broken. ”
Yang Jie's voice was full of anger: "All the invited imperial doctors and Lang Zhong said that my cousin's injuries were too serious to be cured with medicinal stones, and he could only recuperate slowly. His knee was torn and his shoulder was broken. Now it is immobilized with a splint, and even if the wound heals in the future, it can only sit or lie down forever, and become a waste. ”
Yang Hu's whole body was trembling. It's not entirely because of the pain, but because of the humiliation. He clenched his teeth tightly, lowered his head, and didn't dare to face Yang Tianhong at all. Or rather, the courage to be a human being has been lost.
Yang Tianhong's gaze became deep and distant. He looked at Yang Hu and said seriously, "Raise your head." ”
Yang Hu didn't move at all, but his body was still twitching.
"I told you to keep your head up!"
Yang Tianhong raised his voice, mixed with a little anger: "Manly man, what is the pain? If you are injured, you will be injured, and even if you are disabled, it is not a big deal. Don't forget, your surname is Yang, don't discredit your ancestors. Back then, when I was pressed and beaten by you, I didn't bow my head!
Hearing this, Yang Hu was shocked. Gradually, he raised his head and wiped a handful of tears from the corners of his eyes with his intact hands, revealing the unwillingness and pain of a trapped beast.
Seeing people in this state is a kind of torture for Yang Hu.
He didn't want to go to any family dinners at all. During this time, he has become a laughing stock in the eyes of many people. Although he didn't hear much rumors, Yang Hu understood. There is no healing for a broken hand or foot. I've become a waste, and I can't even walk.
"The bones are shattered, and this is obviously not caused by an accidental fall or fall from a height, but by man-made. ”
Yang Tianhong looked directly into Yang Hu's eyes, and his stern tone was full of deterrence: "Who did it?"
Yang Hu twisted his neck with great difficulty, and his teeth grinded into his mouth. Moment. With heavy breathing, he spit out three words in a hoarse voice: "Xuan Junde." ”
Yang Tianhong suddenly appeared in his mind, a young and handsome man holding a paper fan. Last time Yan Kangping was invited to go out, he once saw Xuan Junde.
Yang Tianhong was a little puzzled: "Xuan Junde is just a scholar, you are not his opponent, or is there someone next to you to help?"
Yang Hu's head was exposed because of anger: "He cultivates the Dao technique." I, I'm no match for him. ”
Yang Tianhong continued to ask: "Why did Xuan Junde beat you? Why did there be a dispute between you and him? Why did you want to be so ruthless?"
Yang Hu fell silent again. This kind of thing made him feel unspeakable, but Yang Tianhong's majestic aura was extremely powerful. I can't help but say it. After a moment, he hesitated and replied, "Yes...... It's for ...... Lord of Lingyun. ”
It turned out to be the woman.
A kitsch and enchanting figure suddenly appeared in front of Yang Tianhong's eyes.
Yang Hu continued: "I, I originally agreed with the Lord of Lingyun to meet in the mountains behind the Guozijian after the release of the big exam. Who would have thought that Xuan Junde would be there early, and by the time I passed, the Lingyun County Lord was already entangled with him. Me, I...... I was also angry, so I rushed over. Who knew that Xuan Junde's Taoist skills were exquisite, and I was knocked down by him on the spot. The bones of the hands and feet were shattered. ”
No one will explain the humiliating past in detail. Although Yang Hu is vague. Yang Tianhong can also hear the strangeness and the crux of the problem.
"The county lord of Lingyun promised you to meet you in the mountains behind the Guozijian? Do you think that the other party, as the county lord, should look at you differently? Are you handsome and graceful? Or are you excellent in poetry and writing, and you are talented?"
"Xuan Junde was entangled with that woman? Didn't you notice it before? This kind of thing can be seen early on. Why don't you know it?"
"Since you think things have changed, why do you have to go up and find out? That kind of women's water-based poplar, don't do it, that is, you still hold her in the palm of your hand as a baby. ”
Yang Tianhong said very seriously and harshly: "Even if you don't think about yourself." Think about your parents and your family, too. You don't have long skills, and being able to study in Guozijian also depends on your grandfather's relationship. It's just that you don't want to be motivated, but you are half of yourself. Think about it, how will you live the rest of your life? Your parents are still counting on you to carry on your family. What are you doing with them now? Are you just a joke in the eyes of others?"
After saying something, Yang Hu's face was red, and his face was full of shame and remorse. Yang Jie was about to step forward to persuade him, but he saw tears welling up in Yang Hu's eyes, crying loudly, and constantly beating his injured leg with his hand, and the shroud was suddenly soaked with oozing blood, all of which was shocking red.
"Don't do that!"
Yang Jie screamed and wanted to rush over to stop Yang Hu's movements, but Yang Tianhong stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Just let him vent. If he hadn't learned this lesson, he would have had the same thoughts in the future. said that it sounded good, but he was reckless. It's hard to say, but in fact, it is for a woman to be jealous and be interrupted by others. Either way, it's a joke to say it. In the future, it will be even more troublesome. ”
Here, Yang Hu had already screamed and cried and fell down from his seat in the corridor. There was a lot of movement, which disturbed the people around him. There were more Yang clan relatives who didn't know what to do, and they gathered over, looking at Yang Hu, who was rolling in pain on the ground, pointing, and whispering everything they knew.
Yang Tianhong squatted down, grabbed the back collar of Yang Hu's clothes, forcibly raised his whole body, and said seriously: "Tell me, are you willing to change?"
Yang Hu gritted his teeth and nodded repeatedly, his eyes revealing unprecedented determination.
Yang Tianhong asked again: "Do you want to take revenge? Like a real man, return the fist that someone else hit you ten times and a hundred times?"
Yang Hu is not a fool. He had already understood the meaning of Yang Tianhong's words. Nodding his head vigorously, enduring the severe pain, he raised his broken arm with difficulty, and reluctantly made a gesture of gratitude to Yang Tianhong. His words were full of fierceness and fearlessness, and he roared, "I beg my cousin to be fulfilled." If he can achieve his wish, Yang Hu will be driven by his cousin from now on and will never give up. ”
......
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the capital is already lively.
There were a lot more goods than usual in the bazaar, and the roads were crowded with endless crowds. The crowd looked like ants. Everyone had a smile on their faces. Adults hold dolls on their shoulders, and women who rarely go out are dressed up. Street vendors are shouting one after another, all shouting for their goods. The air was filled with the aroma of food, and there were far more jugglers and entertainers than usual. Everywhere you go, you can hear the sound of laughter.
People in both the city and the countryside will choose to come out and shop at this time.
It's a different story for big families. Especially the powerful and wealthy, at this time, they will only invite relatives and friends at home, drink and listen to dramas, or travel together.
Xuan Junde rode on a horse. He shook out of the city gates.
In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, I have been drinking every day. Since Chinese New Year's Eve, there has been no time to be completely awake. Of course, Xuan Junde will not drink too much of wine, that is, between being half drunk and half sober. If it weren't for the New Year's celebration, he wouldn't let go of his stomach and drink it.
Many wealthy sons are almost in the same state these days. As far as Xuan Junde knew, there was something even worse, directly getting drunk on Chinese New Year's Eve. I was unconscious, and I slept until today and didn't wake up.
An outing with relatives in the clan on the eighth day of the new year is something that has been agreed for a long time. This kind of thing cannot be shirked by Xuan Junde. Although his father is a servant. However, there are also several clan relatives who hold important positions in the court. What's more, it is normal for people of the same clan to help each other and take advantage of the opportunity of the New Year to get acquainted.
Followed by a few long-term followers, a group of children of the Xuan family crossed the moat and soon walked on the official road outside the city.
Far away. A group of officers and soldiers ran across the road.
They wore iron armor and carried weapons, and they were lined up in a neat line, shouting trumpets in their mouths, and although they were burdened with heavy burdens. The running speed has not decreased at all, and it is obvious that he is exercising.
A man of the clan who was quite insightful on a horse raised his whip, pointed to the sergeant running towards him, and said, "Such a fierce soldier must be under the jurisdiction of the Xuanhuo Battalion. ”
The person next to him was puzzled and asked, "How can you see it?"
The child of the Xuan family who spoke was a little proud: "In the first battle of Anzhou, I killed 100,000 barbarians of the Yue tribe in the Great Chu Formation. Since then, the Xuanhuo Army has become famous all over the world. This army only had 10,000 men, but its combat strength far exceeded that of any military town in the imperial court. It is said that Yang Tianhong, the commander of the Xuanhuo Army, has the ability to lead troops, has tough methods, and has strict orders. Sergeants of Xuanhuo have to go out for training every day, rain or shine. From the battalion officers to the soldiers, no one dared to violate the rules. Looking at the Beijing Division, only the Xuanhuo Army has a three-day holiday during the New Year. I heard that Yang Tianhong ordered the Xuanhuo Army to enter the training state immediately after taking the vacation, and I saw it today, and it really deserved its reputation. Look at these sergeants, they have to run and march with heavy armor, and if they change to someone else, I am afraid that they will not even be able to walk steadily. ”
Xuan Junde didn't talk to the side, but raised his slightly drunk eyelids and glanced at the sergeant running over.
The trumpet shouted loudly, and the pace was consistent. The strong legs and feet shook the ground with great force, stirring up a cloud of ice and mud and water chips.
Although the Xuan family was riding horses, these Xuanhuo soldiers had no intention of avoiding it. They ran in the middle of the road and ran straight into the crowd. That kind of brave and fearless momentum makes people can't help but think that even if there is a stone in front of them, they will not hesitate to bump into it.
The members of the Xuan family, who were walking in the front, hurriedly grabbed the reins and turned the horse's head to the side. The Xuanhuo sergeant ran past him, scattering shards of ice flying everywhere. He dodged his horse as he sideways to get out of the way of the splashing muddy water.
"Bad luck! It's really bad luck! I met these Qiu Ba when I went out, what a ghost. ”
Anyone who encounters this situation will feel unhappy. The same goes for Xuan Junde. The mud splashed by the soldiers of the Xuanhuo Army running was so big that they were breathless just to look at it, and no one wanted to come closer.
It's like walking down the road on a rainy day and suddenly a car drives by, and it's so fast that the tires run over the puddles and splash you all over the mud. No matter who it is, in this case, he will point to the back of the car in the distance and scold angrily, from the eighteenth generation of the other party's ancestors to the present to cut off his children and grandchildren.
Xuan Junde's lazy expression suddenly became angry. The robe on his legs and feet was also splashed with muddy water, black and dirty, and he felt very uncomfortable. Although he had raised his arms to cover his mouth and nose, it was cold. The road was full of ice and snow that had not yet melted, and the originally good mood was disturbed by this, and the eyes were gray and hazy, and the whole person felt bad.
Fortunately, it's just a team of soldiers, and the past is over. It's not worth being angry about it.
The Xuan family scolded and went on the road again. The topic quickly shifted from the Xuanhuo sergeant just now, to the plum blossoms in the Hantan Temple outside the city. This is a topic that Xuan Junde is very interested in, taking advantage of the wine, he shook his head and chanted a few lines of poems and witty sentences that fit the situation, which immediately caused bursts of applause and admiration in the crowd.
The good times didn't last long, and in the distance, I saw a group of soldiers running over on the official road. These damn soldiers are still wearing armor. The speed under his feet did not diminish in the slightest, and he ran like a gust of wind, no matter how dirty the mud was raised.
There are fields on both sides of the road, which have not yet thawed, and once the horses go down, they will not be able to get up, and they may even fall. This kind of thing happens every year, and it's definitely not a joke. Falling from a height, even if it's not a broken hand or foot. At least it's a blue nose and swollen face.
"Wow, whoa, whoa!"
The sound of neat footsteps was in unison, and the soldiers were covered in mud. They don't feel anything about it. The personable children of the Xuan family found it unbearable. What are you kidding, who will not go out until they wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year? The Xuan family is powerful and powerful, and who is not a silk silk on the children of the relatives? This kind of clothing is the most uncontaminated with dirt, not to mention that it is difficult to wash, and the texture will also change after encountering water, and it will be the body. Extremely uncomfortable.
Xuan Junde turned his horse's head and stood on the side of the road, with a gloomy face, staring at the Xuanhuo sergeant who was gradually approaching.
Whoever goes out and encounters this kind of thing will not be happy. However, Xuan Junde is extremely well-cultivated. Doesn't bother with these mounds in general.
There was no cement and no asphalt in this era. Of course, these high-grade building materials can be manufactured through material proportions, but the technology of the times has not yet developed to the corresponding extent. Although the official road is spacious and hard, it is also tamped with loess. Under the snow soaking, there will always be potholes and unevenness. The sergeant who went out to exercise ignored it, shouting and stomping on the muddy water, trampling the otherwise barely smooth road surface into a mess.
Like the first squad, the sergeants quickly disappeared behind them.
Xuan Junde's angry face gradually returned to calm. It's not far from Hantan Temple, so there's no need to ruin the good mood of poetry and music for a group of rude people.
A group of people are back on the road.
I have seen the mountain gate of Hantan Temple, but unfortunately, a group of soldiers came on the opposite road.
This should not be intentional. There are tens of thousands of people under the jurisdiction of the Xuanhuo Army, and the area around the capital is their fixed training ground. As far as Xuan Junde knows, the Xuanhuo Army's daily drills are almost this route. Each team has 500 people, and the distance between the front and back is about the same. It can only be said that I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out, and I didn't choose the right time.
Despite this, the anger on the faces of a group of Xuan family members became heavier than before. Even the clan member who had praised the bravery of the Xuanhuo soldiers completely closed his mouth, and turned to scold these soldiers in a low voice for being rude and rude.
"What kind of fame is it that you are doing? What kind of run is running for the Chinese New Year? If you want to train behind closed doors, you just want to go to this kind of place to disturb our interest. ”
"Even if you don't open your eyes to see who we are!"
"Don't the Five Cities Terracotta Division and the Shuntian Mansion take care of it? Look at what this official road has been ruined. Being troubled by these Qiu Bayi, what else is the elegance of watching plum blossoms in the wax moon day?"
Xuan Junde has always been very tolerant. It's not that he is peaceful, but that his ability to restrain himself is much stronger than that of ordinary people. The position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is not for everyone. The functions of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Chu Dynasty are very different from those of the Ministry of Rites in normal time and space, and the scope of jurisdiction is not only the royal sacrifices, but also the collection of newspapers, post stations, and people's sentiments...... Generally speaking, it is somewhat like a combination of the propaganda and postal departments of another world country. Since his father is the head of this department, Xuan Junde's words and actions are also restrained. Of course, by "convergence" here, we mean comparing it with other gentlemen. Xuan Junde also likes the things that men like, and spending time and drinking has always been the favorite of gentlemen. In these aspects, Xuan Junde can only be said to be less exaggerated than those princely sons, and is slightly more low-key.
Seeing the soldiers on the road running closer and closer, Xuan Junde's face was gloomy and black as the bottom of a pot. He repeatedly told himself to restrain himself, and he did endure it for a long time. The two teams of soldiers in front of them are the best proof of this. If I let my temper and anger go out, I'm afraid I won't swallow my anger like I do now.
The big head soldiers of the Xuanhuo Army ran over shouting trumpets, and they were covered in mud and water. I don't know whether it was unintentional or deliberate, but the soldiers moved very loudly and walked very openly, and the team occupied almost the entire road. As many as dozens of Xuanjia tour groups were squeezed to the side of the road and forced to line up. Rao is like this, or there is mud constantly splashing out of the ranks of the Xuanhuo Army. If it weren't for the Xuan family's quick eyes and quick lifting of their arms to block them with their sleeves, I'm afraid that their entire face would be splashed with muddy water.
Riding on the horse, Xuan Junde felt that his entire pants were soaked. First, the cold and wet soaked through the clothes, and then turned into a biting cold that came into direct contact with the skin. It was cold and there was ice on the road. Wearing wet clothes in this kind of weather is simply a sin. (To be continued.) )
