Chapter 25: Night Talk
Xiao Yu returned to Zhongdu from Taoism, and Xu Lin opened the city gate to greet him personally.
Regarding Xu Lin's "self-assertion", Xiao Yu didn't say much, let alone refuse, but just acquiesced. It may be public, but it is also necessary. He didn't need to cower and say anything now, and the wind would destroy it. Sitting in the northwest is higher than others, and it is not a little bit high, even if one after another Xiao Wei is placed on his head, what can he do? Besides, what kind of wind can blow Xiao Yu away now? Therefore, Xiao Yu is at ease about Xu Lin's arrangement.
Xiao Yu jumped up from the bitter cold grassland in the northwest, first attached to the four departments, and then his strength rose sharply in the war between the four departments and the royal court, and finally he was the main anti-guest, leading the four departments to destroy the red lady and become the real and unknown grassland king. Just when many people have not fully accepted this fact, Xiao Yu flooded Xu Lin's army again, and Lan Yu surrendered the city, turning into the king of the northwest who was only wearing a python robe, sitting in the northwest and looking at the Central Plains.
If Xiao Yu is not half complacent in his heart, it is a lie. Whenever Xiao Yu ascends the city and overlooks the central capital, there will be a sense of pride as a husband, especially after really tasting the power taste of turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain, Xiao Yu will have a feeling of being separated from time to time.
Once upon a time, he still had to be submissive, and only dared to hide a few lines of anti-poetry in his heart. Now, even if he bluntly said in front of 300,000 iron horsemen, the Heavenly Incense Array penetrated the Eastern Capital, and the city was full of Northwest Jia. What can Emperor Zheng do to him? Of course, Xiao Yu is not fluttering, he knows that his foundation is still shallow, although Zheng Houjian is "dying old", but after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Xiao Yu is only a corner of the peace, it is easy to say, if you want to go further, it is extremely difficult.
The center of gravity of the Central Plains has never been in the north, but in the south of the Yangtze River.
Even if the northern capital is self-reliant, the central capital falls into the hands of Xiao Yu, and Emperor Zheng still has the eastern capital and Jiangdu in his hands.
Not to mention the eastern capital, there are many famous families in Jiangdu. Looking at the mistakes of ancient and modern times, whether it is built later or the grassland, how many times have horses stepped on the Central Plains, but how many times have they crossed the river?
Year after year, bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, it was originally the owner's palace, which is now the Xiao Mansion, with bright red lanterns hanging on the gate, and bright red couplets on both sides. The specifications of the mansion were built according to the royal palace, but in some respects it was the specifications of the emperor, and due to the rush of time, the renovation could not be completed, but after all, it was occupied by people, and it was more popular, and now it is even more joyful from the inside out.
Although it has been out of February, it seems that there is still a little bit of New Year's flavor, and the two masters of the mansion have returned to the house, this mansion that has been deserted for many years seems to be an old tree sprouting, but there is a little bit of disharmony, that is, there are no singers and dancers in the mansion, even ordinary maids are extremely rare, and you can see it everywhere is the iron armor forest, which adds a bit of solemnity to this huge Xiao Mansion.
A belated Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was held in the main hall of Fuzhong, including Xu Lin, Lan Yu, Zi Shuiyang, Huang Shuiquan, Qiu Si and others, all attended.
Regardless of what everyone at the table thinks in their hearts, they are still happy on the surface, and the banquet is staggered, as the host, Xiao Yu is even more drunk by rounds of toasts, although Xiao Yu's cultivation is profound, but it can't stand the special green plum brewed by Lanyu, I don't know if I feel that after the bottom of the altar, it already feels like the world is spinning.
After the banquet was dispersed, Xiao Yu was actually helped out by Lin Yinping.
Not far away, Xiao Yu gently broke free of Lin Yinping, staggering to hold on to the cold high wall on the side, Lin Yinping frowned slightly, and gently patted his back behind Xiao Yu, his eyes were full of distress.
Xiao Yu didn't care, but enjoyed the feeling of being drunk.
How many years has he not been drunk?
Three years, five years, or never?
Xiao Yu suddenly felt that he couldn't remember clearly, so he simply stopped thinking about it, and with the help of wine, Xiao Yu grabbed Lin Yinping's soft and took her all the way towards the small courtyard that could overlook most of the middle school.
This is the small courtyard where Lin Yinping lived when he was recuperating, and he is naturally familiar with it.
Push the door into the courtyard, and the courtyard is naturally cleaned to the dust. A bright moon hung overhead, sprinkling a silvery white silence on the ground, and under his feet were thousands of fireworks.
Xiao Yu let go of Lin Yinping's hand, staggered out a few steps, waved his hand vigorously, as if he wanted to hold the whole Zhongdu in his arms, and said with a smile: "Yinping, do you see it, this towering Zhongdu is ours! ”
Lin Yinping walked behind Xiao Yu, crossed his arms under his armpits, hugged him from behind, and said softly: "I didn't see that you would be panicked all day long. ”
Xiao Yu said with a smile: "I used to hide it in my heart, do I still have to hang it on my face all day long? Even if I hang it on my face, besides you, who else will feel sorry for me? I'm afraid they will all look at my jokes behind my back." ”
Lin Yinping also blocked a round of toasts for Xiao Yu just now, perhaps because of the courage of the wine, she stood on tiptoe, rested her chin on Xiao Yu's shoulder, and exhaled like a land: "Why, who else do you want to feel sorry for you." ”
Xiao Yu pressed Lin Yinping's hands around his chest with both hands, and sighed lightly: "It's enough to have you, if my mother is still there, it will be complete, do you think I'm a little greedy?"
Lin Yinping put Zhen Shou on Xiao Yu's back and said softly: "I miss my mother too." ”
Xiao Yu bowed his waist, directly carried Lin Yinping on his back, and said with a smile: "One day, I will carry your daughter-in-law to the Eastern Capital and give my mother three sticks of incense." ”
Lin Yinping lay on Xiao Yu's back, closed his eyes, and smiled: "I'll wait." ”
......
Dadu Governor, who lives next to Xiao Mansion, also has two people traveling at night, but it is not a man and a woman under the moon, but a pair of old men. Lan Yu, who was given a sword by Xiao Yu to set the storm, and Xu Lin, the governor of the central capital in the past and today.
Two people who should have turned against each other in the eyes of outsiders are now walking together without any guilt.
Lan Yu, who was in charge of the Secret Guard, said calmly: "Grand Governor, I just got the news that Shizun resigned as the Lord of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion half a month ago, and has already left the Eastern Capital. ”
Xu Lin, who had never put on armor and was just wearing civilian clothes, turned his head to look at Lan Yu, and sneered: "Mr. resigned from the position of pavilion master? This is just like when the proprietor became the emperor." ”
Lan Yu just smiled and didn't say anything.
Xu Lin then asked, "Emperor Zheng didn't move there?"
Lan Yu said with a smile: "If Tianji Pavilion wants to go, the Eastern Capital will definitely not be able to stop it, but if you use some means, it is still more than enough for us to be disgusted, if there is a master in charge, Emperor Zheng's means may not be able to succeed, but if the master is not there, it is difficult to say." ”
Xu Lin frowned and asked, "Mr. is not here?"
Lan Yu pointed to the guide and said, "Shizun went to Jiangnan. ”
Xu Lin asked indifferently, "Jiangnan or Jiangdu?"
Lan Yu smiled and said, "Jiangdu." ”
Xu Lin paused in his footsteps, "Sir, this carefree immortal who has entered the WTO, has a lot of plans." ”
Lan Yu said to herself, "Who says it's not. ”
