The sky was misty, but the capital of Mangguo was not as cold as a few days ago, and the mist affected the sight, and the temperature was just right. This day happened to be the thirtieth day of October, this month's wonderful weather, so that the cold winter season of the Mangguo as comfortable as spring, this phenomenon has been a hundred years ago, the people are happy, the court also has the right to be blessed from heaven, this matter has not been studied deeply.

Ninety-five percent of the population of the capital lives in the southwest, southeast, and northeast, and the northwest section is also inhabited.

Most of the people of Mangguo are diligent by nature, regardless of the cold winter and heat are orderly, and the birds are sown, just now that the good times have just arrived, the lazy people also get up very early, and stroll through the streets early in the morning, hoping to take advantage of this auspicious day to hit the good luck. The streets are full of people who are bustling with people who often come back to their stalls and shouting for business.

A person who crossed the misty bridge from afar and came to the river to take a bamboo lotus and put it away, just like being nostalgic for someone during the festival. When the surrounding onlookers saw it, they bowed their heads and smiled to greet them, and the man in white cloth returned the salute, turning his head to send the bamboo lotus away by water.

Yang Le, who is dressed in white, is wearing the white cloth as usual, with a white material burden on his back, and a paper feather fan in his sleeve. Today's Le Cong's expression is excellent, his eyes are bright and his eyes are bright and his eyes are wide and his forehead and eyebrows are high, revealing a confident temperament, a white breeze rises, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised to look at the bamboo lotus that has passed away with the waves, so he looks like a heroic scholar.

"Mr. Le Cong," a whisper recalled Le Cong's thoughts, and Le Cong turned his head to look at it, it was the young man who was finished by himself yesterday.

"Yu'er," Le Cong beckoned, yesterday and the boy intersected, and had learned that this son's name was Yu's surname, and he was close to his cousin, so Le Cong called Xiang Yu 'Yu'er'.

Seeing this, Xiang Yu walked to the side of Lecong, looked at the white river, and asked curiously: "Mr. Lecong, there is only a continuous river here, and there is no scenery, why does Mr. stop here?"

Hearing this, Le Cong did not answer, but changed his words: "Is the arrangement of Ling's mother appropriate?"

Yesterday, after the two discussed, Le Conghe gave Xiang Yu the money on his body, Xiang Yu bought grain and rice to cook at home that day, and found a deerskin for his mother to be a quilt, and the cloth was used as a bed, and the wooden bed was placed a lot for the old man. Get up today, before parting, Xiang Yu's mother told Xiang Yu to be serious, upright, not to make something out of nothing, not to return to the evil way, Yu keep it in mind.

"Mr. Xie Lecong cares, my mother can be full of food and care, warm couch for the bed, the body is a lot better, yesterday I went to the wine shop to buy a jar of good wine, ask the doctor to be the mother's formula, apply it twice and the edema dissipates a lot. Saying this, Xiang Yu bowed even more, and his eyes looking at the ground couldn't help but moisten slightly. This has been with the capital for more than ten years, and at this time, Yang Lecong's life favor is really enough for Xiang Yu.

Hearing Xiang Yu's words, Le Cong nodded with a smile, and pointed to the north of the city with a fan in his sleeve, "Although you and I are the guards today, you have two grievances, and you need to be punished for setting up a bureau to drink yesterday." I will supervise you to go to the north of the city to help repair the wall for three days, and then you can go with me to guard the west gate of the city, I don't know if you can be convinced?"

"After my mother met me, she took good care of me and taught me with benevolence, conduct, and quality, which was against my mother's wishes. I am willing to be punished!" Xiang Yu replied in a deep voice, those bright eyes seemed to penetrate the light of the night, if it wasn't really no way, how could Xiang Yu, who was deeply grateful in his heart, disobey Xiang's mother's teachings since childhood, and bother to make trouble with the good wine of the family, and then mention this matter, it is naturally a happy and sincere repentance.

Xiang Yu was honest with such an attitude, and the smile on his face was even stronger, and he exhorted in the attitude of an elder: "People are not saints and sages, and the beast still knows how to protect the mother and family, your filial piety and those resolute and calm eyes are the reason why I give you the opportunity to reform yourself and repent." Wrong is wrong, and with whatever righteous means I would like you to counteract him, this punishment is not only for your own sake, but also for the right way I need to respect your mother's many years of teaching. ”

Xiang Yu nodded deeply, and his face bowed to the earth was already full of tears. If good intentions can disintegrate and offset the shamelessness done for good, then should good intentions also offset the evil deeds committed by wicked people in the past.

The two of them walked across the bridge, crossed the five trade roads through the shops on the west side, and looked at the majestic northern city wall from a distance, the bricks and tiles of the city wall were about ten meters thick and more than fifty meters high, which was the most magnificent of the four city walls. In the past, it was designed by Mangguo 80 years ago by a number of well-known craftsmen in China, its city wall structure is special, by a door and a door spliced together, like vertical bricks and horizontal bricks are stacked, the length of about 10 meters thick is a whole piece of wall beams, at that time for the construction of the city wall spent too much manpower and material resources, so that only one city gate is built so macroscopic, and the other three city gates are insufficient.

However, due to external troubles, most of the enemy troops in Mangguo were in the north of the country, so the construction of the city gate coincided.

Both of them got up very early, and it took a lot of time to walk here, and now the sky was just bright, and the outline of a blazing sun could be faintly seen, and the scattered light had already begun to shine on the sky.

'Knock knock' Xiang Yu looked at the city and thought about it, and there was a sound of gongs in front of him, and there was a large group coming into the city outside the city gate that had just opened. People on both sides of the road stood on both sides of the road with a slight joy on their faces.

Xiang Yu was confused for a while, and was about to speak, Na Le suddenly patted his head with a paper fan, and woke up: "Today's festival, the distant 'Lane Moon Pavilion' should also enter the city, I forgot it for a while." Saying this, Le Cong hurriedly pulled Xiang Yu to the side of the road.

As Xiang Yu, who was standing in a daze, looked around, he saw that a group of passers-by seemed to be eager to try, and they all wanted to walk along the side near the city gate, as if they were afraid of missing something. Le Cong didn't look in a hurry, calmly playing with the paper fan in his hand, and Xiang Yu stood aside and looked at the approaching team with curiosity.

It was a very large procession, not only because of its large number, but also because of its splendor was the endless stream of horses on both sides, and after a few horses opened the way, a member of the team wore a mask embroidered with Mangguo, and through the mask face two eyes were carefully staring at the road, driving the horses steadily forward.

Behind this horseman is a top trimmed with silver tent, this tent is different in shape, large and small but the same, some hang exquisite jade strips, near the sea only have a shell flute, the tent door each depicts a rare animal shape. The tent on the car tent is like the eaves of a rich family, and the curve is handed over to the surroundings, and in the middle is a dark jade, which seems to be able to absorb the scorching sun's rays, and the sun shines into the jade without refraction, and it seems to be an unextinguished lantern along the way, dimming the brilliance all around.

Xiang Yuduan stood more and more puzzled, seeing the carriage and horse passing by the crowd, there was a burst of cheers, and after the carriage and horse left, the crowd lost their souls, and some even chased the team and did not want to leave. From a distance, there are only some horses and horsemen who drive them, as well as the astonishing jade whitewash, which makes people envious and magnificent, and Xiang Yu and Le can only see this scenery from the standing.

Finally, the crowd of people approached Le Cong and Xiang Yu from the gate of the distant city, and Le Cong finally opened the paper fan and fanned the wind with a graceful and elegant demeanor.

The sound of gongs and drums became more and more harsh, and Xiang Yu couldn't help but feel a little deafening, and the noise, which had no scenery and pretended to be noisy, made Xiang Yu no longer want to stay for a long time. Suddenly, the first carriage and horse finally passed in front of Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu's eyes were greeted by a beautiful face, Xiang Yu was fifteen years old, his height was level with the window of the carriage, and that exquisite face walked in front of Xiang Yu's face.

The face of the person in this carriage is delicate, although there is whitewash on the face, but it is not, the temples are combed, like a hairpin and a hosta on the Danfeng hairstyle, the eyes are as white and clean as water waves, the delicate nose bridge and the tranquility of the face, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, just like the appearance of not eating fireworks in the world. The eyes that were as clear as entering the water, the face that was not deliberately strong, a pair of eyes full of curiosity looked around, and saw that Xiang Yu's face was slightly confused, the smile at the corner of his mouth was even stronger, and the corner of his eyes narrowed into the crescent bay.

"The sky is beautiful, and the moon becomes the wind," Le Cong opened his mouth with an obsessive face, and suddenly closed the paper fan with a burst of laughter, and Xiang Yu finally came to his senses, leaving only the woman's appearance in his mind.

"Do you want to make the Jade Pavilion?" Xiang Yu asked Le Cong softly, at this moment, there were still carriages and horses passing in front of the two of them, and the various faces in the carriage tent could only be described by the word 'stunning'. But the surprise that these women brought to Xiang Yu was far less than that of the beautiful woman in the first car tent.

"Lane Moon Pavilion, only one month a year will come to Mangguo, only because of the cold in November, for the people of the whole country, this is comparable to a national event, this month there are too many celebrations around the Moon Pavilion to be held. Seeing Xiang Yu asking, Le Cong did not hesitate to share the news he knew, "Every year in the cold moon, there will be people coming to the Moon Pavilion, in the past, they came here in twos and threes to spend the cold, and the monarch of the Later Mang Kingdom interacted with him and discussed, which made the honor guard of the Moon Pavilion here more and more huge, but because of the instability of the frontier in the past two years, the Moon Pavilion has not visited each other for two years.

In retrospect, every year, there are people to guard the girls of this moon pavilion, and they generally enter the city at night, and block the streets that night, and ordinary people have no chance to see each other. ”

"When fate comes, you and I will have the fate to witness these girls find their beauty today, and the rest is the affairs of the palace, so let's continue on our way." Seeing that Xiang Yu seemed to be still thinking deeply, Le Cong smiled and patted Xiang Yu's head with a paper fan, and then walked to the north gate first.

A piece of paper fan frightened Xiang Yu's mind, took a deep breath and followed closely behind Le Cong, thinking to himself for no reason, why did he feel like he had been taken away, and it was the first time in fifteen years.

The closer to the north city gate, Xiang Yu felt that the sight was covered, the north city gate looked more like a giant beast up close, so the description is not an exaggeration, because its construction is not simply ten meters thick, its city wall shape, the bricks on the city wall, its concave and convex are all integrated, on the city wall, many people are holding drawings, are sitting on a brick and a tile, no wonder there is a saying that the north city gate is the weather of a country.

Le Cong led Xiang Yu straight out of the city gate, the fresh and unfamiliar air outside made Xiang Yu feel a little cold, and looked into the distance, it was a boundless plain with no end in sight, there were only a few people driving horses on this plain, Xiang Yu was fifteen years old, and he had been spending time in this capital since he made sense, and the distance was like a little star, and like a black hole that devoured the light, which made Xiang Yu frightened and frightened, and had a sense of expectation and strangeness.

Le Cong led Xiang Yu to climb the ramp steps to the city wall, and the fifty-meter steps made the distant scenery and the scenery in the city smaller and smaller, Xiang Yu followed, and there was gradually only Le Cong left in his eyes.

"Lord Yang, don't come to harm!" In the distance, a strong man dressed in refined light armor, with a long sword at his waist, and his hands spread out the drawings, greeted Le Cong, and Xiang Yu had a deep and resolute impression between his eyebrows.

Although the two talked like this, the work in the hands of the strong man was not put away, and his eyes still glanced at the drawings from time to time, stared at the city wall, and looked at the soldiers under construction.

"I have a reluctant request, and I hope General Chu can be accommodating. ”

"Oh?" seemed to be surprised by Le Cong's words, General Chu finally put away the drawings, "Yang Lecong in white, no one in the court knows that you speak straightforwardly, no one dares to talk back, no one dares to poke it." Why are you talking intermittently this time?"

"General Chu, don't come to make fun of me, my straightforward temperament is already constricting, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to return to my hometown sooner or later. With a wry smile, Le Cong opened the paper fan in his hand, and saw that it was full of handwriting: forbearance, forbearance, forbearance, forbearance, the size of the handwriting is the same, Le Cong's handwriting is the word 'forbearance'.

At this time, Xiang Yu saw the pen book of this fan, and he didn't feel that he had never seen this handwriting on this fan along the way.

General Chu handed the drawings to the person next to him, changed his serious face and said with a loud smile: "Yesterday, the night of the palace seemed to explode, and it was said that through the provocation of the city guard, the subordinates of the palace lightly said that Wang Qingyang, the master of the Wang family, is it inconvenient to be a brother of Lecong?"

Le never answered, just shook the fan twice, and pointed to the word 'forbearance' in the book with the other hand, and said with a smile: "If you don't go on a business trip, the Wang family will definitely play to stir up trouble, or go to my west gate to make trouble." I'm not surprised by this kind of thing, I don't want to argue too much, so I just 'forbear' and wait for the matter to end naturally. ”

The general surnamed Chu shook his head and laughed to himself for a while, stretched his waist and said: "I'm afraid that it is not the word 'forbearance' to deal with, but Chengzhu in the chest, yesterday that Dong Huguo was also in Xicheng, last night sent that piece of paper to the palace 'madman', it is rumored that he has seen the holy mountain, early this morning the 'madman' was personally sent out of the palace by His Majesty, Dong Huguo personally sent out of the palace." It seems that the princess's illness can be cured, so by extension, the matter of the palace yesterday will definitely be on your shoulders, and the protector will be present to prove that if his old man speaks kind words to you, then the palace will not dare to annoy you with the protection of the country."

At this point, General Chu raised his eyebrows, and suddenly asked: "Le Cong, to tell the truth, do you think that the princess's illness is so abnormal, there is no doctor in the whole country to treat, suddenly a madman comes to treat it with crazy words, and it is also a war in the north, and the situation in the palace is declining, these are so strange, is it really just a coincidence?"

Le Cong groaned for a while, looking at the shepherd outside the city, who was snuggling up to his own horses, and the soldiers were full of diligence and sweat to build the city wall, and then said with a smile: "The general was born in a military and political family, and his ancestors have made boundless contributions to the country. Such a loyal country, if you are proficient in music and rhythm, and know the five books, you can really be a unique pillar of the country. ”

Seeing that Le Cong seemed to be deliberately evading, General Chu no longer asked, but the solemnity in his eyes did not dissipate after all.

"The son said on the river: The deceased is like Sifu." Le Cong changed his words, "Today's request is to hope that the general will leave this child and build a wall for you here for three days." ”

Xiang Yu walked out and bowed, General Chu glanced at Xiang Yu, his brows tightened, "This child is only more than ten years old, the bricks and stones and tiles I have here are all hundred-pound weights, why do you force a child.."

"I am willing, please accept me!" Xiang Yu's eyes were resolute, his voice was too high, and the soldiers around him glanced at him, General Chu looked at that firm gaze, and his tightly knit brows relaxed slightly.

"I will only keep him here for three days, no matter what he does, no matter what he says, but if he violates military discipline, I will punish him according to the law, and if I can, I will keep him. ”

Le Cong looked at Xiang Yu with a smile on his face, and then the two of them bowed to General Chu together. Xiang Yu walked to the other corner of the city wall under the beckoning of General Chu, and the surrounding soldiers handed over the drawings to General Chu.
