Chapter 31: The Caged Sparrow

Cao Qiong's face changed slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "How can this work!" ”

Ling Xiaoyun teased: "Why not do this? Isn't it that the seniors are worried that they will be dug up by the juniors and lose a piece of jade in vain? The seniors can rest assured, your apprentice can continue to stay by his side to practice martial arts, the juniors only teach him gunnery, and the rest of the matters are still up to the seniors, you are the master, and the juniors can be the second master. ”

Seeing that Cao Qiong was still weighing, Ling Xiaoyun hit the railroad while it was hot: "I believe that with the unique vision of the seniors, the Lingtu must be talented and have excellent roots, rather than letting him squander his talent in vain, it is better to let him inherit the lifelong spearmanship of the younger generation, so that the younger generation can have successors." ”

Cao Qiong wanted to refuse again, but it could be seen that Ling Xiaoyun's eyes were blazing, and after thinking about it, since Lu Huaiyuan was unwilling to practice swordsmanship, it was better to let him practice spearmanship with Ling Xiaoyun, it was better than wasting his talent in vain, so he said: "The old man is very strong, it is useless for the old man to promise you in this matter, you have to agree to it yourself." ”

Ling Xiaoyun said with a smile: "It's okay, as long as the seniors nod and agree, the juniors will say it in person later." ”

————

It has been seven years since the last time the three kingdoms united in rebellion, and in these seven years, Yunxi, the monarch of the Liao State, was obsessed with martial arts, almost did not ask about the government, and had already been handed over to Li Mixian as the supervisor of the country.

Liao is subject to the terrain, although the territory has not expanded, but with the Ashan crossbow like a bamboo several big victories, many young people in the Liao country have joined the army, Li Mixian Yunxi Island 3,000 armed people scattered into the army, teaching soldiers martial arts, now Liao compared to Hongjiang reign, the national strength is more than doubled.

At the same time, Chen Xiong of Chu State and Li Chengzhi of Yan State are both ambitious heroes in troubled times, and they are assisted by strong opponents, and they are secretly accumulating strength to prepare for the future attack on Liang State.

Back then, when Emperor Liang Qing was in power, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, and the four generals of Liang were still there, and how could the three kingdoms of Yan, Chu, and Liao dare to attack, so they could only be willing to bow down and be vassals. Feng Jing'an is virtuous and benevolent, Li Jian has repeatedly admonished that he took the initiative to send troops to crusade against the Three Kingdoms, breaking them one by one, so as to prevent future troubles and dominate the world, but Feng Jing'an could not bear the people being harassed by the war, and was always unwilling to take the initiative to provoke war.

After Emperor Qing died, Emperor Wu succeeded to the throne, with the national strength of Liang at that time, it was not difficult to break the three kingdoms one by one, but Feng Jingquan was not Feng Jing'an, and he was always suspicious of Li Jian. It's good to rely on your own skills to turn the clouds and rain again.

But no matter what, now the Three Kingdoms are getting stronger and stronger, if it weren't for Li Jian's Dinghai Divine Needle, Liang was afraid that there would be another war.

After careful calculation, it has been 14 years since Emperor Wu of Liang succeeded to the throne, and now it is also the year of his establishment. There are countless concubines in the harem of the Liang Kingdom, but Emperor Wu of Liang has never been crowned a queen, in fact, everyone in the Liang Kingdom knows that Emperor Wu of Liang has coveted his sister-in-law An Murong for a long time. When An Murong first entered the palace, he was only regarded as a heavenly man by Feng Jingquan, who was only fourteen years old, because of his identity and his brother Feng Jing'an, who was still alive at the time, he did not dare to be too presumptuous. After the death of Emperor Liang Qing, Feng Jingquan's true form was revealed, and he found An Murong privately many times to express his intentions, but An Murong had a strong temperament, and he was forced to die every time, coupled with the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms at that time, Feng Jing had no time to take care of him, and An Murong was able to preserve his innocence.

Now that there is no external trouble, with Feng Jing's year-round growth, the matter of establishing a prince after the seal has been pushed on the agenda again, and Emperor Wu of Liang has played up the bad thoughts of the imperial sister-in-law in the past.

In the palace of Liang Guoye, after the death of Emperor Liang Qing, An Murong was simple, and he should not have stayed here, but Emperor Wu of Liang was extraordinarily gracious, not only letting him continue to stay here, but also having countless palace maids to take care of An Murong's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

said that An Murong has been living in seclusion for more than ten years, and the most he does every day is to sit in front of the window and enjoy the scenery. A few days ago, An Murong asked someone to buy a "green embroidered eye" outside the palace and kept it in a cage for recreation.

A woman's mind is already delicate, and An Murong, who is over thirty years old now, has long passed the age of ignorance of a girl, and she naturally knows Feng Jingquan's careful thoughts. In the troubled times, for women, it is fortunate that the husband's family is strong to be able to rely on, when forced by the pressure of the family, in order for the An family to be able to go to the next level in the Liang Kingdom, An Murong was forced to marry into the emperor's family, and cut off the marriage with his beloved, it was a hard thing, but Feng Jing'an is not only eloquent, but also a rare virtuous monarch, after marriage, the husband and wife respect each other like guests, An Murong does not feel wronged himself, as for the person's affection, he has been disappointed in this life, and he can only repay it in the next life. originally planned to give birth to an heir for Feng Jing'an to inherit the unification, and stay in the harem with peace of mind, An Murong thought that he could not be in charge of the harem, the feat of motherhood in the world, but he could devote himself to husband and children, which was easy for her who had worshiped under the academy and was knowledgeable.

But the original warm and quiet life was broken with Feng Jing'an's bizarre death, if it was an ordinary woman, when she encountered this matter, she could return to her parents' home to seek refuge, or she could remarry and re-choose a wishful husband, but she couldn't, just because she was the queen of a country, from the moment she got married, she was destined to die of old age and death, and she could no longer live the life of ordinary people.

An Murong teased the "green embroidered eyes", looked sad, and murmured: "Little guy, you are just a bird that needs to be fed by others to survive, without support, even if I open the door of this cage, you don't dare to fly away from here, it's really pitiful." ”

The bird, named "Xi'er", chirped as if in response. An Murong slowly stood up and looked into the distance, but all he could see was the palace wall with no end in sight, and the outside world, since the moment he entered the palace, had nothing to do with him.

An Murong sighed, and said to himself with a little crying: "Guo Lang, if you and I could be brave back then, would we be able to spend the rest of our lives together now?" ”
