34 How to choose in troubled times
After the tiger meat was eaten, everyone had already begun to discuss the matter of going down the mountain.
Xu Zhenren naturally wanted to follow down the mountain back to Luoyang, and change the prescription for the sheep, he said that everything was arranged by the emperor, so he took Xu Henian to sleep in a corner of the cave.
Lu Zhu and Zhang Liang hoe hurriedly cleaned out a clean place, and after spreading the blanket, they asked Zhang Du to check it again before asking the emperor Sima Zhen to come over. However, Sima Zhen didn't feel sleepy at all, and even wanted to sit outside the cave and look at the moon.
Zhang Du had no choice but to accompany him for a casual walk in the forest outside the cave, and Yuan Jianshuo and the others all followed. The night is indeed very beautiful, the moon is big and round, and it illuminates the mountains and forests transparently, and the cracks in the clouds and dragons can be seen clearly.
Yang Xianrong saw that Sima Xin was far away, and she was about to sleep, after all, she was already too sleepy to open her eyes, and she leaned on Cui Xi's side and planned to sleep like this. But at this time, Yang Xiankang came over and pulled the two of them to the fire outside, and handed over a large handful of pine nuts. The taste was indeed very sweet and crispy, and Yang Xianrong woke up immediately.
Cui Xi hurriedly peeled two and stuffed them into her mouth before she said softly: "The emperor is very strange today." ”
"Perhaps, this is the real him." Yang Xianrong was still leaning on Cui Xi's side, feeling that his heart was very chaotic.
"Third sister." Yang Xiankang sat quietly beside her, "The emperor is very strange today. ”
"Hey, be quiet. You're going to scare me to death today, why are you so reckless? Yang Xianrong pushed him.
"I've already said him." Yang Xianyong also came over, "It's just dead." ”
"yes, it's scary." Cui Xi also nodded, "But don't do this again." ”
"Mmmmmmmm Yang Xiankang immediately admitted his mistake.
The four of them sat around the fire together, as if they had been playing in the mountains and forests of Taean County in the past, and their mood was relaxed.
Liu Yao wanted to come over, but was a little hesitant.
Yang Xianyong turned his head to look at him and said in a low voice, "Brother Liu, come and sit together." Roast the fire, it's still cold in the mountains. ”
"Oh." I don't know why, Liu Yao actually had a sense of strangeness to several of them.
Yang Xiankang moved his body, let Liu Yao sit between him and Yang Xianyong, and also handed him a large handful of pine nuts, and whispered: "The emperor has walked to the south and will not come back for the time being." Tell me, how did you end up here? What's going on? ”
"You don't blame me for not telling the truth, do you? About my identity? Liu Yao pursed the corners of his mouth, a little uncertain.
"Hey, if you don't say it, we can guess that you are not an ordinary person. You have to think about it, our brothers and sisters in the Yang family are all smart. Yang Xiankang laughed, but quickly covered his mouth, for fear that his voice would be too loud.
Yang Xianrong gently patted Yang Xiankang's leg and asked in a low voice, "Brother Liu, what's going on?" Hurry up and say it. ”
Liu Yao touched his face, but finally sighed and told his story.
He is Liu Yuan's son, but because his mother, Yuwen, the eldest princess of the Xianbei clan, and Liu Yuan did not officially marry, and later died due to dystocia, he stayed by Liu Yuan's side, but he did not officially enter the genealogy of the Liu family. claimed to be a son, but in fact Liu Yuan's biological son.
Liu Yuan was also very good to him, and found him a lot of masters to teach. He was intelligent and extraordinary since he was a child. When he was eight years old, he went hunting with Liu Yuan to the West Mountain, during which he took shelter under a tree due to the rain, and suddenly a thunderbolt caused the tree to shake, and the people next to him, including Liu Yuan's sons, were frightened and fell, but Liu Yao looked calm, so he was appreciated by Liu Yuan, and at that time he revealed that he would give everything he had to Liu Yao in the future.
However, Liu Yao knows that his identity is special, and he doesn't want to get caught up in the fight between his brothers, so he has always been in a state of laziness, reading, writing, practicing martial arts, and even traveling everywhere to increase his knowledge.
Liu Yuan didn't discipline him too much, and he played around casually. Because Liu Yuan himself was busy fighting, he couldn't take care of him. He was an official in the Great Jin Dynasty at the beginning, but because the Sima family fell apart and did so many things, after discussing with his father and grandfather, he decided to return to Zuoguo City, and immediately raised troops against the Jin.
He also asked Liu Yao to be a vanguard general, after all, Liu Yao had traveled to many places in the Great Jin Dynasty and was familiar with the terrain and landform here and the deployment of local officials, but Liu Yao disagreed, saying that although he knew, he did not do it for the purpose of raising troops.
The father and son had a big quarrel over this matter, and Liu Yao felt very bored, so he decided to go to Guan Shushan where he stayed when he was a child to live in seclusion for a period of time, so that he could calm down.
"At present, we only know that Liu Yuan has done Beidanyu, and we have not received the news that he has reversed. But if he really reverses, I'm afraid it will be another bloody storm. "The sheep is always frowning.
"I have to talk about this thing twice." Yang Xiankang whispered, "The Sima family is in such a mess now, Liu Yuan is a foreigner, and he must not be able to look at it, but it is also a normal thing." Actually, why did Sima Ying agree? Isn't that stupid? ”
"Ahem, ahem." Cui Xi suddenly coughed twice, and Yang Xiankang hurriedly handed her the roasted pine nuts in his hand, but still said in a low voice: "However, Liu Yuan is the opposite, will the people of the Sima family stop making trouble and go to beat Liu Yuan?" ”
"Ahem, ahem." This time it was Yang Xianrong's turn to cough, and Yang Xiankang quickly took off the water bladder on his body and handed it to her, "Third sister, you don't have to get cold." ”
"I'm going to be by you." Yang Xianrong pushed away his water bladder, and Zhengse said to Liu Yao, "You don't have to listen to what the second brother said. Even if the war starts and the people mourn, there is no way to do it. ”
"Third sister." Liu Yao called her softly, "I am indeed hesitant, because I don't know how far this fight will go, the lives will be ruined, and the war will be raging...... And if I fight with my father, I will be the opposite of you. ”
"So what?" Yang Xianrong actually laughed, "Do you think our enemies are not enough?" Xu Zhenren has said that the troubled times have already begun, so why be afraid? It's better to really do something, maybe you can end this troubled world and start a new life for the people. ”
"Third sister!" Liu Yao's eyes widened a lot, he didn't expect this little woman to think like this, he didn't know what to say except to call her.
