Chapter 138 There is only the sound of rain in heaven and earth
Da Da Da –
The sound of horses' hooves sounded on the long cold street,
"I've seen it, Mr. Ma!"
"Your Majesty and Your Highness are still inside?"
Ma Youliang turned over and dismounted and asked the captain waiting outside the door.
"Well, it's been an hour. ”
"Hey, what's this called? ”
"You go to patrol the streets first, I'll be here to watch. ”
Ma Youliang sighed, waved his hand, and the soldiers around him retreated and sat down at the door, with some shabby clothes and armor on his body, and at this time there were a few new traces of sword slashing, and the red clothes lined with it were even more difficult to see the color, but the strong smell of blood could be smelled from afar.
The backyard of the Hou Mansion in the north of the town,
"Your Majesty, let's go into the room and rest. ”
Bai Qingfeng approached and looked at Xu Wu, who was full of wine, and said.
"Let's just lie down here. ”
"Closer to Nancho. ”
Xu Wu, who was lying on the stone table, turned over, looked at the peach blossoms in the courtyard and suddenly smiled bitterly, and the figure in a black and gold python robe at the gate of the courtyard slowly walked away.
"Do you think Xian'er will understand?"
Listening to the footsteps dissipating in the courtyard, Xu Wu muttered in a low voice.
"Your Highness has grown up. ”
"Does it matter if you understand it or not?"
Bai Qingfeng looked up at the peach blossoms in full bloom in the courtyard and sighed a little, speaking of which, he followed Xu Wu when he was first in Nandi, and then it was Liangzhou for 20 years, and many things about Xu Wu can be said to be very detailed, and he knows most of them.
It can also be said that he is the closest person to Xu Wu in the general army of the six towns of Liangzhou, and he also knows what kind of weight Zhong Nanqiao has in his heart, and he can better understand how desperate and helpless he was when he guarded Zhong Nanqiao's corpse in Shangjing City.
There are 300,000 iron horsemen in Liangzhou,
For Xu Wu's horse is the first to see is more true,
But the kingdom of Qi is in the south,
Is it realistic for 300,000 iron horsemen to cross the border of Daqing from north to south?
Qishan sword mound in the west,
Is it possible for 300,000 iron cavalry to cross several countries and soldiers in Linqi Mountain?
The woman I love most in my life died,
is already the most powerful marquis of a country,
Obviously holding 300,000 Liangzhou iron horsemen invincible,
But he still can't do anything,
In the early morning of that day, Xu Wu, who was holding Zhong Nanqiao, walked out of the Hou Mansion slowly, there was no expression on his face, but his originally upright figure was slightly leaning on Lou, but his temples had already added a lot of gray hair in less than a year.
"Let's go, go back to Liangzhou. ”
These five words spit out from his chapped lips, and there were no ups and downs in his tone, but only then Bai Qingfeng knew what the man had experienced.
I was stunned for a long time,
"Your Highness is Your Majesty's only son, and I believe that no matter what Your Highness wants to do, Your Majesty will support it. ”
Bai Qingfeng said softly, Xu Wu has only one son named Xu Xian in his life, and there is only one woman who is Zhong Nanqiao, so as long as Xu Xian chooses the road of the entire Liangzhou.
"That kid might be able to do something he couldn't. ”
Xu Wu lay on the stone table and muttered a few times with a little complaint, just like an old father watching his son grow up and have the ability, many regrets left by himself, he may be able to do it, he is relieved in his heart, but he will inevitably mumble a few words, and he is also tired and fell asleep after speaking, and there is a faint sound of snoring, which becomes loud after a while, and the snoring sound is like spring thunder.
"Your Majesty, it's been a long time since I've slept so peacefully. ”
Bai Qingfeng sighed lightly, found a big coat and draped it on Xu Wu's shoulder.
......
"Coming out?"
Ma Youliang sat at the gate of the Hou Mansion in the north of the town, looked at the young man who was walking slowly, and smacked his lips.
"Hmm!"
Xu Xian looked at Ma Youliang, who looked like an old farmer at the door, bowed his head and smoked a dry cigarette, nodded, and sat down next to him, not caring about the strong smell of blood on his body.
"One?"
Hand over the fire fold,
There is white smoke rising,
"Hoo ......"
I took a puff suddenly, the thick smoke pressed down my throat into my lungs, I closed my eyes and felt the feeling of my head empty, I didn't inhale for a few days, I only felt that the whole person was a little light.
"I heard that His Highness and His Majesty have been chatting for a long time. ”
Ma Youliang said abruptly, when it comes to the relationship between himself and Xu Xian in the Liangzhou Army, there are some things that others are not easy to ask, but he can speak.
"Well, we talked a little bit about my mother's family. ”
Xu Xian smiled, his emotions had been buried in his heart.
"Your mother is the most beautiful woman Lao Ma has ever seen in his life, and she is also the most imposing woman, anyway, there are few women in the world who are the same as your mother......"
Ma Youliang grinned, rarely did not use the title of queen, it seems that the memory is still fixed in Liangzhou, as the earliest team of Xu Wu in the Liangzhou territory, is also impressed by the woman in the white dress.
"What happened later was that your Uncle Bai accompanied His Majesty to Beijing. ”
"Although I don't know the inside story, since Your Majesty is unwilling to mention it, he naturally has his reasons, and since I told His Highness today, I hope His Highness will not complain about Your Majesty. ”
"Well, I've saved it. ”
Xu Xian nodded,
The two of them just silently swallowed the clouds and spitted fog, and there was some silence on the field.
"Have you dealt with the affairs of the prisoners in the city?"
After a long time,
Xu Xian slowly exhaled smoke.
"Well, many, many people died. ”
Ma Youliang shook the ashes and sighed in a somewhat embarrassed tone, in the past, the high-ranking civil officials would have begged for mercy and cried under the knife, and even many prisoners were scared to pee their pants.
There was some quiet on the field,
After a long time,
Ma Youliang looked down at the dark red blood stains on his red clothes, which had dried up, and his voice was lowered.
"Uncle Ma, you taught me to kill when I was in the Gobi. ”
"Killed a lot of people. ”
"That's right, Uncle Ma, ...... future"
"Maybe I'll have to kill more people. ”
"I want to get an explanation for my mother. ”
Xu Xian took a deep breath, looked at the tobacco in the pipe suddenly lit up for a moment and then turned into ashes, his lungs were full of smoke, he spit out suddenly, and slowly got up from the stone steps.
Ma Youliang looked at the young man and was stunned, and some pain welled up in his heart, maybe this is the most real His Highness.
"By the way, let's open peace for all generations. ”
The young man laughed at himself, he was a layman.
"Actually, I am a swordsman first, and then His Royal Highness the Great Qian, the future monarch. ”
"And the swordsman,"
Xu Xian paused,
"Naturally, you have to be happy!"
patted the stinging sword on his waist,
Xu Xian exhaled lightly, looked into the distance and said loudly,
After that,
The young man smiled brightly,
Walking down the long street,
In fact, there are still a few words hidden deep in my heart that have not been spoken,
"Xu Wu is really tired, he has too many things on his shoulders. ”
"But I don't want to live like that, I want to live happily, even if it's selfish. ”
......
At the end of the long street,
"Minister, Bai Xiaosheng, I've seen Your Highness!"
A white-faced scholar walked out of the street corner and bowed, although he had changed into a new robe, it was still difficult to hide the smell of blood soaked in his bones.
"The prisoners in the city, Xiao Xiao, the thieves have been cleared!"
"How many people died?"
"Your Highness, there are a total of eight thousand three hundred and twenty-one people!"
There were fine beads of sweat on Bai Xiaosheng's forehead, there were a lot of people killed yesterday, and all the people on the list died, even some of the implicated people also fell to the ground.
"Hmm. ”
Xu Xian was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"The city has been settled, Your Majesty should enter the imperial city as soon as possible, in order to calm the hearts of the army and the people!"
Bai Xiaosheng spoke again.
"The news of the saucer in the south has also come, the Qi side has begun to mobilize a large army, and the Wei side seems to have moved, at this time, if it drags on, I don't know how long it will take. ”
"In the long run, it is difficult to determine the morale of the army, after all, there are too many meritorious ministers on this trip, and if it drags on for a long time, I am afraid that the morale of the army will fluctuate. ”
"Hmm!"
Xu Xian also knows that it is too late to change, and it is better to set the tone early, not to mention that the war is about to start, and his father will sit in that position to stabilize the country, so that he can kill the enemy with peace of mind.
Right
Xu Xian never thought of sitting in that position early,
There used to be words in the Imperial Garden,
I want to sit in the supreme position in the Taihe Palace,
But not now,
I still have a lot to do,
I still have a lot of battles to fight,
I still have a lot of people to kill,
I don't want to be bound to the imperial city of Shangjing early, and my father is already old, so I should leave some things to myself.
And that location,
Plainly
It's always your own, and no one can take it away.
"When is the date of the enthronement ceremony, and have you prepared for the dragon robe?"
Xu Xian asked.
"Minister, I have sent someone to ask the people of the Heavenly Division, carefully deduce that tomorrow is the auspicious day of the zodiac, the dragon robe in the army out of the mountains and rivers when everyone has already started to prepare, yesterday just completed, you can go to Pingkangfang at any time to get it, the merit of entering Beijing has been carefully recorded, and it will be handed over to His Majesty to determine the reward, and the remaining officials of the former dynasty who did not commit the crime will also enter the court, as for the remaining vacant positions, it is still waiting for the Qin Gong to be restored to make a decision. ”
"Hmm!"
"Well done. ”
"After ascending the throne, I will definitely lead the army to fight with Qi Wei. ”
"After this war, the Liangzhou Espionage Division can also spread out and infiltrate the two countries, or what was said in Liangzhou, whether it is important people or money, you just have to speak, and it is okay. ”
"Minister, thank you, Your Highness!"
Bai Xiaosheng knelt on the ground and looked at Xu Xian with burning eyes as he raised his head.
"By the way, in addition to the infiltration of the two countries, I also need all the information of the Qishan Sword Shrine for hundreds of years. ”
"I can give you some time, but the information must be detailed. ”
Xu Xian thought for a moment and said.
"Qishan Sword Shrine?"
Bai Xiaosheng was stunned when he heard this slightly unfamiliar name, he had heard this name mentioned a few times, but he only knew that it was far away from the territory of Daqian, but he didn't know why His Royal Highness was interested in this Qishan Sword Shrine now.
"Hmm!"
Xu Xian nodded very seriously.
"Your Highness, there are still several countries in the middle of the Great Qian, is it too far away. ”
"A lot?"
"Just push it all the way. ”
A fluttering voice sounded in Bai Xiaosheng's ears.
"Minister, save it!"
Bai Xiaosheng's body shook suddenly, and he said solemnly.
"I'm going to Pinghong Fong. ”
"I will report the rest of the matter to my father, and you can rest assured that you will start arranging. ”
After Xu Xian finished speaking, he walked towards Pingkangfang.
Stepping into Pingkang Fang,
There is no sound of the beam, there are Liangzhou soldiers stationed at all the street entrances in the square, looking at the sign of the drunken immortal residence in Nanqu, Xu Xian was slightly stunned.
"Your Highness!"
As soon as he reached the door, he heard an exclamation,
It was the Qingqi man who was in Liangzhou who was accompanying everyone around Wen, who was covering his mouth at the moment and looking at the handsome face of the person in front of him in surprise, and his eyes turned to see that the young man had changed into a black and gold python robe, and a flush quickly rose on his face.
"Smell everyone, it's upstairs. ”
"His Royal Highness Lao Fu went inside to drink a cup of tea and waited for a while. ”
After the Qingqi man opened his mouth, he respectfully added a pot of tea to Xu Xian, and quickly turned around and went upstairs, since he entered, the Qingqi person never dared to stare at Xu Xian again, and there was always a touch of red on his cheeks.
"Huh-"
Xu Xian took a sip of tea, shook his head, and chuckled.
Sure enough, his appearance still follows his mother.
"Your Highness!"
After a while, Wen everyone went downstairs and two maids behind him were carrying two agarwood boxes.
"Your Highness, the dragon robe is ready. ”
"It's just that I didn't expect His Highness to take it lightly. ”
Hearing this, everyone waved and the maid put one of the wooden boxes on the wooden table.
The wooden box is lightly opened,
The eye is made of Shu brocade as the bottom of the black robe embroidered with gold thread dragon pattern, did not open it, just look at the black dragon robe has a heavy breath coming.
"The five elements of Liangzhou belong to water, and water virtue is black!"
Hearing everyone's black dragon robe, he just read it lightly, and the yellow robe in the Liangzhou camp was a little rougher when he thought about the urgency, but this enthronement ceremony could not tolerate the slightest sloppiness and was naturally much grander, and the same other wooden box also contained another dragon robe five-clawed golden dragon, which was bright yellow, which was a dragon robe commonly used in all dynasties, and it was also quite meticulous and elegant, but everyone still wanted to give it a try.
Because that day, when I came out of the door of the Drunken Immortal Residence in Beiliang City, I only heard the man casually quipping;
"The workmanship of this dragon robe is good. ”
"It's just that this yellow is a little cheesy. ”
The speaker had no intention, but he listened to the heart, so he heard that everyone made preparations with both hands, and only after careful study did he know that the five elements of Liangzhou belong to water, and he moved the mind of the black dragon robe, and after that day, Liangzhou Daxu also embroidered the black dragon, and saw that there was no change in her mind.
"Minister, please ask Your Highness for forgiveness for your sins!"
I haven't seen Xu Xian for a long time,
Hearing that everyone was a little panicked and fell to the ground, the maid beside him quickly opened another wooden box, and the bright color made the hall a little brighter.
"Smell everyone, I'm too worried. ”
"This dragon robe is very good!"
Xu Xian chuckled, the color of the dragon robe is inconclusive, there are black, red, and yellow, and the reason of determining the color of the dragon robe with the five elements has existed since ancient times, not to mention the hairpin.
What's more, compared to the yellow dragon robe,
I love black more than 100 times.
"Hearing everyone, not only is it not guilty, but it is meritorious!"
"There is a reward for this matter. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Hearing this, everyone got up and saluted.
"There are still many things in the city, so I won't stay long. ”
After a closer inspection,
Xu Xian closed the wooden box and walked out the door.
"Your Highness stays!"
Just when Xu Xian stepped out of the threshold with half a foot,
On the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Residence, a woman's crisp voice came, and a very handsome woman wearing a tulle dress spoke.
"Su Xian'er, don't be rude!"
"No problem. ”
"Girl, please have something to say. ”
Xu Xian turned around and said.
"Dare to ask Your Highness, but what everyone said about the person surnamed Xu who composed the song "Yushu Backyard Flower"?"
Su Xian'er's chest was violently skinned, obviously she had plucked up great courage to speak before, after all, the identity gap between the two is like a chasm, how can there be so many stories of talented people in the world who love beautiful women, if such abrupt words make the other party angry, your fate can be imagined.
But since that day, after singing and dancing, the poems and tunes have lingered in my mind, and the curiosity about the lyricist has become more and more intense, but where can so many people surnamed Xu in the world find themselves?
"Hmm!"
Xu Xian nodded,
did not deny it because it was a glamorous word.
"It's really His Highness's doing!"
The joy on Su Xian'er's face was beyond words.
"Dare to ask Your Highness, what is the rest of the songs?"
Su Xian'er gritted her teeth and asked, although she is in the Drunken Immortal Residence and is an Oiran and a Qingqi person, but in the end, she is just a Qinglou woman, but everyone has their own pursuits, and for such women, a good poem can make their hearts gallop for a long time.
As the saying goes, the drama is ruthless, and the bitch is unrighteous;
But there are always exceptions, and it is precisely because of this that Liu Sanbian in the previous life was able to prostitute for so long, although there was a relationship of interest, it did not hinder their pursuit of what they liked.
"The rest of the song is called "Bo Qinhuai"
"The smoke cage is cold and the moon is long and sandy, and the night is close to the restaurant in Qinhuai. ”
"The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the backyard flowers across the river. ”
Xu Xian read softly.
"Smoke cage, cold water, moon and sand, such beautiful poetry!"
On the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Residence, Su Xian'er muttered in a low voice,
I was stupid for a while.
"The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the backyard flowers across the river. ”
"Your Highness means. ”
"The little girl danced for the big celebration that day was the last song?"
Su Xian'er asked again after reading the poem, as an Oiran cultivator, she was naturally able to read the meaning of the poem, in addition to sighing at the beauty of the poem, the tone of the last sentence became clear.
"It's not about girls, it's not about women. ”
"How can the change of dynasty be blamed on women?"
"It's just that the Daqing man is not angry. ”
After Xu Xian finished speaking, he no longer hesitated, looked at the door and walked,
The rest of Su Xian'er sighed softly upstairs.
......
The next morning,
There was a light rain in the sky,
The rain falls through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the peach tree,
fell on Xu Wu's face,
Wake up slowly,
"Please also ask Your Majesty to bathe and change clothes!"
Bai Qingfeng, who was waiting on the side, removed the big straps on Xu Wu's shoulders for Xu Wu.
Countless Liangzhou soldiers in red clothes and black armor on the long street on both sides of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei stand with long halberds, and the black dragon flag embroidered with the word Xu in Liangzhou extends to the outside of the palace gate.
Xu Xian stood outside the door with a wooden box, waiting quietly,
The total soldiers of the six towns of Liangzhou outside the Hou Mansion in the north of the town arrived,
The day of the enthronement was made known to all yesterday,
"Please change your father's clothes!"
Listening to the movement in the room,
Xu Xian pushed open the door, and the wooden box in his hand had been opened.
The black dragon robe has been lifted,
"Son, personally change the clothes of your father!"
"Too eager, huh?"
Xu Wu looked at the black dragon robe in front of him and his outstretched hand was stunned in mid-air.
"Father, Uncle Bai, Uncle Ma......"
"They've been waiting for a long time. ”
"300,000 Liangzhou Iron Horsemen have been waiting for a long time. ”
"Millions of people in Liangzhou have been waiting for a long time. ”
"I've been waiting for a long time, and my mother has been waiting for a long time......"
Xu Xian whispered.
......
The carriage slowly drove towards the imperial city, the ruts pressed over and there were tiny droplets of water splashing, and the Liangzhou soldiers of the red-clothed and black-clothed families on both sides of the street all looked at the carriage with burning eyes, and there was water flowing out of their eyes, mixed together, and they couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.
When the carriage drove into the vermilion palace gate,
The rain suddenly became heavier,
In front of the white jade long steps,
Raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky one by one,
The figure in the black dragon robe looked up and walked up step by step,
There is no one to cover the umbrella,
He's just walking silently alone,
Walk to the end of the white marble staircase,
Xu Wu turned around slowly,
What caught my eye was a black dragon robe,
A figure wearing a tiara.
The dragon robe pennant festival flag is black above, the cuffs and the bottom are a little red, there are dragon patterns on the big sleeves, and the lower body is embroidered with dark gold silk thread with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, Chinese insects, Zongyi, algae, fire, powder, yellow, and twelve crests.
Xu Wu looked into the distance,
The back is straight,
Looking at the rain all around, as if standing in the middle of the world,
Only the sound of rain is the company.
The figure in the dragon robe just stood calmly, and he didn't know that the rain falling from the sky was sprinkled on Xu Wu's body, and the long sword hanging from his waist moved as he walked, and the narrow sword body rubbed against the ground leaving a long water stain.
Xu Wu stood on the front of the white jade long steps for a few sticks of incense,
Just standing still,
Eyes back to the people below,
Looking at the extremely familiar faces,
His eyes fell on the dragon robe on his body again,
Laughed out loud out loud,
There is an indescribable meaning in the smile,
Everyone in the audience suddenly found that the world was so quiet, the wind, rain, and thunder seemed to have disappeared, and everything in the world seemed to fall into a strange silence in front of the black figure.
