The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time. The lover complains about the night, and he is lovesick at night.

The candles are extinguished, and the light is full, and the clothes are dewed. It's unbearable to give away, and it's a good time to sleep.

"Sir, this poem is very sentimental."

"General! Checkmate! Wake up, the thieves are attacking the city, how should we deal with it! ”

"Sir, do you think this lotus lantern looks good? The concubine made a wish, but she can't tell Mr., otherwise it won't work, hehe! ”

"Where is the healer? Summoning a healer, the general has been shot! ”

"Sir, let's go enjoy the snow together, I heard that the plum blossoms are blooming!"

"Where's the healer! Hurry up and save the general! One of the soldiers shouted at the top of his lungs.

Du Wu heard the sound a little familiar, but after a while, he fell into a coma again.

"Sir, the concubine is in the palace, and there is no day when she doesn't miss him. The concubine is still innocent, Your Majesty is still young, don't dislike me, sir! Let's go to the willow together, I'll play the flute for Mr., I'll play the Xun, but unfortunately Mr. hasn't heard it once, we'll die in the future, Mr. once promised to be a concubine! ”

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his shoulder, Du Wu screamed, opened his eyes, and saw Zhan Lu Xinshi kneeling in front of him, sprinkling medicine powder on his left arm, and the bow and arrow with barbs were thrown on the ground, stained with blood. Seeing Du Wu wake up, Zhan Lu Xinshi said faintly: "The general is awake? This arrow is not poisonous, and the general is relaxed. ”

Du Wu settled down and looked into the distance. The soldiers of the Northern Army on the city wall are firing arrows outside the city under the reflection of torches, and at this time, the sound of killing under the city is bursting, and the sound of the horn can still be faintly heard, mixed with the rumbling sound of the city gate.

Du Wu finally remembered that he was on duty tonight, and when he inspected the Zhangcheng Gate, a captain hurriedly reported that there were unknown armed forces attacking the Zhangcheng Gate, and the situation was critical.

Under the darkness of the night, a figure was screaming and rushing towards the city gate. Du Wu hurriedly ordered a team of men and horses to go down to the city to help guard the city gate, otherwise once the city gate was lost, it would be meaningless to fight fiercely on the city wall. At this time, the left and right Jingfu lieutenants also arrived with troops, Du Wu directly ordered them to defend on the spot, ordered the archers to prepare, and sent people to report to the Chu palace in the city, asking Wang Mang to send troops to support the Zhangcheng Gate, and sent people to the other eleven gates to check the situation, in case the thieves attacked the west.

Perhaps it was too conspicuous when he commanded, and a burst of locusts shot from under the city, and Du Wu was hit by an arrow in the arm, fell backwards, and his head hit the battlement wall, and he fainted when he landed.

At this time, Zhan Lu Xinshi had already bandaged Du Wu's left arm and began to pack up his medicine box. Du Wu was a little puzzled, hasn't this old man been sealed to Taishan County as the Marquis of Taoxiang County, how could he appear here? Just as he was thinking about it, I heard a report from a soldier that the offensive under the city wall had weakened.

Du Wu stood up and ordered the torches on the city wall to be extinguished, so as not to become a living target for the enemy's bow and arrow. He also signaled the people around him to silence, he listened for a while, although the city shouted and killed, but obviously heard that the number of people was not very large. Du Wu's heart suddenly jumped up, the number of people is small, but with such fanfare, isn't it a strategy to attack the west?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly ordered the army defending the north of the city to continue to release arrows downward to prevent thieves from climbing the city wall, and ordered the left and right captains to quickly lead people to open the door and rush to kill, and quickly go around the city to investigate the enemy situation after breaking up the enemy army.

The left and right lieutenants took the order and left, and Du Wu leaned on the city wall and closed his eyes to recuperate. After a while, the city gates were wide open, and the cavalry in the city rushed out, and the northern soldiers on the city walls finally had a moment of respite.

After a while, the footsteps of Dengden came from the corridor of the city wall, and everyone suddenly woke up. Du Wu waved his hand and let the armies perform their duties. The arm was raised a little high, pulling the wound on his left arm, and he couldn't help but snort coldly.

"General, the battalions of the Northern Army are already in place, please give the general an order."

"The cavalry battalion is divided into two, out of the Zhangcheng Gate, divided into left and right patrols along the road to defend the city gate, I have ordered the left and right lieutenants to go first, you two will join it as soon as possible, and report to me as soon as the patrol is completed." The lieutenant and deputy lieutenant of the cavalry battalion took the order and hurried away.

Du Wu divided a small half of his troops to guard the gate of Zhangcheng, and led a large group of men and horses to ride out of the city to chase down the thieves.

In the six years of coming to Dahan, this is the first time to lead troops in the real sense, which makes Du Wu a little nervous, but he can't escape from his duties. If the culprit cannot be found in this storming of the city gate, what awaits him will be the cordial condolences of the court captain and even the impeachment of the imperial doctor, and even the great Situ Kongguang will not be able to exonerate him at that time. Thinking of this, Du Wu couldn't help but lift the reins, the war horse neighed, and rushed forward quickly, and the army also accelerated the speed of the march.

Taiyi Mountain, and Taiyi Mountain.

Du Wu looked at this mountain that had left footprints, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. It was here at that time that he learned that the mansion where he lived was Wang Mang's Great Sima Mansion. The low-key Wang Mang changed the plaque, making Du Wu at that time think that he had just met a rich man in Chang'an City. Until that day, after he learned the truth from Wang Shu's mouth, the feeling of chilling all over his body is still fresh in his memory.

By this time it was already approaching, the sky was gray, there was not a single star, and it looked like it was going to rain. Du Wu stepped on the double stirrups and tried to keep his body as low as possible through a forest. Just out of the forest, I saw a team of people and horses standing on the opposite side, the leader of the big man with a beard, it was that Wang Mazi, holding a big axe, saw Du Wu come out, as soon as he lifted the reins, the horse rushed over, Wang Mazi picked up the axe with one hand, and chopped it down with the horse's momentum, Du Wu only felt that his eyes were dark, his legs moved unconsciously, and he sat up.

It's a dream, Du Wu wiped the sweat on his forehead, and heard the pipa next to him also come over: "Sir, sir, did you have a nightmare?" ”

Du Wu nodded, patted Pipa's shoulder, let her lie down obediently, leaned on the bed, habitually wanted to take out a cigarette and smoke, touched the Han Dynasty pajama pants he was wearing, smiled bitterly, and then lay down again.

It's already the third night I've had a nightmare. Pipa felt a little sorry for Du Wu, leaned over like a kitten, curled up in Du Wu's arms, and didn't speak, just leaned quietly.

It's August of the second year of residency. It is said that the fire flows in July, and the weather in August has become very cool. Tomorrow is the Moon Festival, and I don't know if this year's Moon Festival Shiso will be able to come to the house for the festival. Four-year-old Liu Ying has been the crown prince for two years, and when he heard that Zisu was going to marry to be the crown princess this winter, Du Wu was stunned when he got the news. He promised Wang Yu to take good care of Zisu and prevent her from marrying into the royal family, but this matter is not up to him after all. That day, Du Wu sat alone in front of Wang Yu's grave for a long time, but he didn't say a word, he felt sorry for Wang Yu.

When it was almost dark, Cai Bo packed up the memorial supplies, stepped forward to pick up Du Wu, and said, "Sir, it's time for us to go home." The marriage of the little lady of Shiso is not what Mr. can do, and it is extremely difficult for you to protect her for two years of peaceful life. Go home, Shaojun is still waiting for you at home. ”

Cai Bo is a distant relative of Du Er. At the beginning, Du Wu had just moved out of the Great Sima Mansion and bought a small courtyard next to Qingfeng Building, so he asked Du Er to help find a housekeeper, first, he could take care of the family's life, and secondly, he was already the prime minister of Biqianshi and the general of Zhenbei after all, and he needed to have a confidant.

Du Er was very concerned about this matter, and brought Caibo the next day, saying that he was a distant relative, who had followed the army to the north to conquer the Huns, and later retired from the army due to injury, but he never even had a head, and his life was extremely miserable, and he barely survived by Du Er's help.

As soon as Cai Bo saw Du Wu, he bowed his head, Du Wu saw that his beard was a little gray, he couldn't help but sigh, and hurriedly helped him up, and after asking some basic information, he accepted Cai Bo, and now it has been almost two years.

When it got dark, a man wearing a hat looked at Du Wu's carriage in the distance, pressed his somewhat numb knees with both hands, and quietly left the Wang family cemetery.

Du Wu actually knew that he was being followed, or that he had always had such a sixth sense. The unaccounted for backpack, the dynasty song that was tampered with, and the impeachment of the court from time to time all made him live every day in the Han Dynasty cautiously. It's just that I've had three nightmares recently, the first time I dreamed of the bloody Wang Yu, the second time was Wang Yan who couldn't see her face clearly, and tonight it was Zhang Mazi with a full face and beard.

Thinking of this, Du Wu thought of those blue-eyed rabbits again. Although Wang Mang later killed and burned all the rabbits despite Zisu's pleas, Du Wu's manpower never found any trace of Zhang Mazi, which made him feel the urge to urgently form an intelligence department. Without the intelligence department, in this strange man, he is like a lamb to the slaughter, or the kind of lamb who is stripped naked.

Seeing that Du Wu didn't speak, Pipa opened his mouth and asked: "Sir, tomorrow is the Moon Festival, and the concubine wants to call the little lady of perilla to make moon cakes to eat together, which is lively and lively." Zai Heng moved into the Chu Palace, the second son is still guarding the old lady's spirit, the little lady is only happy when she comes to us, and Rhubarb hasn't seen her for a long time. ”

Du Wu scratched the tip of the pipa's nose in the dark, sighed and said: "Just do as you say, call galangal to help at that time, you make more moon cakes, and go back and let galangal bring back a little bit to his wife." ”

Pipa nodded, put his arm around Du Wu and asked, "Sir, what did you dream about, it scared the concubine a lot." ”

"It's nothing, go to sleep, wrap the quilt, the mosquitoes at this time of year are too fierce."

Du Wu closed his eyes, but different pictures flashed in his mind like a marquee. There are high-rise buildings, there are traffic lights, there is a cafeteria, the strange thing is that there is carved hu rice in the cafeteria, Chen Tang sitting on the guest of honor is holding a beer glass and fighting with Wang Mang, Wang Yu is drunk, is holding the cup of galangal and pouring wine, Shiso is grabbing the cake with the pipa to eat, the little face is full of white cream, Wang Yan who is smiling and chanting is wiping her face with a tissue, Du Wu took a sip of wine, smacked his mouth, and grinned.

This dream is so good.

In April of the first year of Juse, Liu Chong, the Marquis of Zhong'an, rebelled in Wancheng and led more than 100 people to attack Wancheng, but he did not even attack the gate of Wancheng. More than 100 people, including Minister Zhang Shao, were all killed in the battle, and Liu Chong was divided into five cows. Wang Mang was furious and ordered his ministers to report and expose each other. Under coercion, Zhang Shao's cousin Zhang Zhu surrendered himself in Beijing and was pardoned and named Shudehou. Liu Chongyuan's relative Liu Jia falsely accused Liu Xin, the Marquis of Yanxiang, and was named Marquis of Shuaili, and his seven sons were all named Marquis of Guannei. Under the painstaking persuasion of the officials, Liu Xin was spared death and was demoted from Beijing.

In the spring of the second year of Ju Se, the Xiqiang leaders Pang Tian and Fu Wan led the rangers to attack Xihai County, Xihai Taishou Cheng Yong abandoned the city and fled, and Pang Tian's soldiers occupied Xihai County without blood. Wang Mang was furious and drew a sea fishing document across the country to arrest Cheng Yong, but Cheng Yong had no way out and committed suicide by throwing himself into a well. Wang Mang sent Dou Kuang, the captain of the Qiang Guard, to send troops to Xihai County to prepare to recover the lost territory.

Du Wu was thinking about these big and small things in a daze, and he heard the rooster in the next square city start to crow. Du Wu stretched his waist and crept up. Today is the Great Dynasty Meeting, and it should discuss the issue of grain and grass transfer in Qiangdi, which has been almost half a year, and there has been no good news from Dou Qiang, and Wang Mang is already a little impatient.

Seven years after coming to Dahan, the Moon Festival began on such an ordinary morning.
