Chapter 135: The Peach Tree in the City (Part II)
Zhenbei Hou Mansion, outside the door,
An extraordinarily luxurious carriage stopped quietly,
There are still traces of ruts on the long street,
Seems to be coming from the south.
"Master Hou, it's not too early to calculate the hour!"
A shrill voice came from outside the house in the distance.
"Master Hou, this is what Your Majesty meant. ”
The old eunuch who was waiting outside the mansion looked up at the sky, and continued to speak, "This is more than 1,800 miles to Beijing, it is already a long way, and if it drags on for a few days, I don't know how long it will take to enter the palace and hand over the decree."
"Uhhh
There are soldiers with long knives at their waists half-opened,
The old eunuch bowed his head and forbade a cicada,
"It's still bitterly cold in the north, it's good to go to the capital, your body was injured in the south, and the root was damaged, so you can eat more nourishing things in Shangjing to raise the fetus with peace of mind, and it's good to live a few days of clean and comfortable life." ”
"When the child lands, I will come to the capital to see you two. ”
Xu Wu put down Zhong Nanqiao in his arms, looked at the carriage parked outside the door and said softly, in fact, the one who went to the capital a long time ago already had the intention of letting himself send his family to Beijing, and it is not surprising that many feudal ministers are also treated like this, not to mention that the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry under his hand is too prosperous.
"Well, have you figured out the child's name?"
Zhong Nanqiao smiled slightly,
The melancholy between the eyebrows is fleeting,
Don't fall into Xu Wu's eyes.
"If you are a boy, let's call it Xu Xian!"
"Be more relaxed, save a lot of trouble. ”
"The words of the girl can't be so casual, and when the time comes, I have to worry about it, Mrs. thinks about it, this bit of ink in my stomach is all used for marching and fighting, and I can't squeeze out a few drops, but don't wronged my daughter. ”
Xu Wu grinned.
"Idle?"
Zhong Nanqiao pursed his lips and smiled.
"I hope Madame takes care of herself!"
Xu Wu said solemnly.
"Save. ”
"You should be careful in Liangzhou, it also hurt your foundation back then......
Zhong Nan Qiao's white hands were gently placed on Xu Wu's shoulders.
"Nerd, close your eyes!"
Standing on tiptoe gently, his mouth pecked at Xu Wu's lips.
When Xu Wu was still savoring,
The woman in white had already walked out the door,
I don't know when there was an extra wooden box in my hand,
The woman in white was still walking lightly with Liujia in her arms, her long hair fluttering in the breeze, her skirt slightly raised by the wind, and the wooden box in her hand made a soft sound.
Only Xu Wu knew that there was a long sword lying quietly in the wooden box, who knew that Mrs. Zhenbei Hou was still a half-step second-grade little sword fairy before she got married? Who knows why the high-ranking female sword fairy would fall in love with a little captain rolling in a pool of blood in the first place?
"Mrs. Xu, are you here?"
The chief eunuch was relieved to see the woman walk out of the Hou Mansion.
"Madame, please!"
The two palace maids carefully lifted the curtains.
The whip is raised,
Wheels rolling,
The bead curtain falls,
Xu Wu tilted his head so that the things in his eye sockets would not fall.
After the carriage, the three hundred Liangzhou iron horsemen of the red-clothed black family followed,
Countless armor sergeants on both sides of the street slammed into the ground,
There are thousands of empty alleys in Liangzhou City.
The old eunuch's body trembled slightly, and his expression was silent.
......
"Your mother went to Beijing here. ”
"You were also born in Shangjing. ”
Xu Wu sat on the stone bench next to Xu Xian and muttered, there were three or five jars of Maochai wine on the stone table, one of which had bottomed out, and there were still wine stains on the armor on Xu Wu's body.
"My mother's accident happened in Beijing?"
Xu Xian took a sip of wine and asked softly, but his palm had already lightly covered the hilt of the stunned sword on the table.
"It's not. ”
Xu Wu shook his head.
"At that time, Your Majesty was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and Your Majesty and I had the grace of knowing each other, how could we do the thing of killing chickens and taking eggs? ”
"And why?"
Xu Xian asked.
"Back to Liangzhou for more than 1,800 miles, you can also see that even ordinary four- or five-grade Jianghu martial artists can also kill their fathers, if it is hereditary, it will be fine, but my father is still a knighthood killed on the battlefield. ”
"Speaking of which, my father was also regarded as the cultivation genius that the Taoist priest said back then, he didn't have such a demonic talent for a hundred years, but he could be regarded as passable, and his father barely had a four- or five-grade cultivation at your age. ”
Xu Wu sighed,
Xu Xian was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then quickly relieved.
Originally, I just thought that my dad was very good at hiding things,
Now it seems that there is far more buried in his heart than he thinks.
"Otherwise, how did Daddy survive on the battlefield?"
Xu Wu patted his son's shoulder and grinned,
But Xu Xian always felt that there was too much bitterness.
"Speaking of which, your mother is still a second-grade sword immortal!"
"At that time, I heard people say that if there was no such thing, maybe she could become the first first-grade female sword fairy in the world in the past hundred years, tsk, first-class sword immortal!"
Xu Wu raised his head and poured a sip of wine, the wine went down the corner of his mouth, wetting his clothes, but the latter didn't care, he still drank bitterly, and soon a jar of Maochai wine was poured into his stomach.
"Your mother is from the Qishan Sword Shrine. ”
"It is the most famous female sword fairy of our time, walking for the previous generation of Qishan Sword Shrine. ”
"Don't talk about the background, just that appearance is a character who has been happy to see each other for a long time in the eyes of Qiu Ba. ”
"It's nothing more than a fairy in the sky. ”
"Which Cheng wanted to be his daughter-in-law in the end. ”
Mao Chai wine was in his stomach, and Xu Wu's words were a little drunk.
"There are arbors in the south, and you can't think about it. ”
Xu Xian muttered to himself.
......
Southland,
Yingchuan County is the border land of Daqing South, bordering Daqi.
Yangzhai City is a city on the south side,
Outside the city is also where soldiers and horses are stationed,
The bluestone slabs on the street are a little mottled, many of them are some rough military men, full of meat jokes, stay in the barracks for a long time is to see an old sow is like a fairy, the same has a request, there must be a supply, there are a lot of hooks in the city, and the half-covered door can be seen everywhere in the alley.
It was nearly dusk that day,
And a woman came out of the city on a tall horse.
The soldier who has always been full of meat jokes on the street is rarely speechless,
stunned countless people in the city,
The mere appearance is prohibitive,
The temperament around you, the sword in your hand,
It also dispelled other thoughts in my heart.
But at last the woman stopped in front of her.
Listening to the sound of the horses, Xu Wu looked up at the woman's appearance and was stunned in place, looked around and smiled bitterly, it turned out that he was just in the way.
"Shall I invite you to drink?"
Xu Wu looked at the iron knife in the woman's hand behind him, and said the words almost with a slight tremor in his tone, and hid his right foot behind his left foot without a trace, because a hole was broken in the top of his right boot, and his big toe was in the wind.
"I'm coming from far away. ”
"There's a long way to go. ”
"The master said that I have to walk a lot of roads and see a lot of people and things, so that my sword can be completed. ”
"I've come a long way, I've met a lot of people, but I've experienced so little. ”
"That's why I love to hear people tell their stories. ”
"I have wine, do you have a story?"
The rare woman did not draw the long sword in her hand, but looked at the young man in front of her with great interest.
The things encountered in the past ten years can be recorded in a bamboo tube in detail, and they can probably fill several rooms, so Xu Wu just picked up interesting things one night.
Xu Wu couldn't remember how much he said,
I just remember drinking a lot.
The woman listened carefully with one hand on her cheek, occasionally taking a sip of wine, looking into the distance, while the old horse on the side was eating hay under the castle tower, occasionally snorting.
When he woke up the next day,
It's already full of sunshine,
The woman on the horizon on the horse did not turn around, but waved her hand with her back to the city, and the horse under her was like a chicken's blood, riveting and running into the distance.
Holding the reins, the corner of the woman's mouth hid a light smile, sitting on horseback thinking about last night's words, the smile in her heart before disappearing on the horizon could no longer be hidden, perhaps because Xu Wu, who was drunk last night, said a word in a daze.
"Of all the women I've ever seen, you're the best-looking. ”
Now that I think about it, I grew up in the army since I was a child, and I am afraid that the women I have seen can be counted with both hands.
However, one sentence is enough.
on horseback,
The woman in a plain white dress,
The smile is even more beautiful than the sunset in the sky.
At the head of the city, Xu Wu squinted and watched the figure disappear,
With a bitter smile, he turned and went downstairs.
This is probably the first person Xu Wu liked, and he inexplicably remembered a sentence that had been circulating in the rivers and lakes for a long time.
It's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes,
It made a lot of sense at the time.
But I never thought that
That unreachable fairy,
In the end, he was indeed with himself for many years.
