Once the peach blossoms were dewy, but they were cut off by the reckless man.

This reckless man is talking about Wei Long.

And the person who said this sentence was Mr. Lu Shiyinlu.

Lu Shiyin is a Qingzhou madman, he thinks very highly of himself, and he doesn't even take his own family members seriously, and is abandoned by the Lu family, which is centered on family interests.

He was originally a member of the clan, but his father pounced on a servant girl after drinking.

Small families have the poverty of small families, and it is difficult to say that large families are born in large families.

Lu Shiyin did not have a ambition in his life.

Separated from the wall of the Lu family, no matter how much he reads, he can't get rich clothes and food, but he lives in the small courtyard that the family gave to his mother in the early years, drinks bad wine, and lives by writing books for others.

When he was young, he promised his mother that one day he would move back to the red-tiled door because of him.

It's just that the rhetoric was blown away by the wind of reality, and his mother passed away early.

After they moved into the courtyard, his father never came to the door.

The mother died of depression.

When he was over forty years old, he wrote a poem,

The wind canopy is full of sad songs, and the mud is stained with the name of a madman.

Nine out of ten people are white-eyed, and none of them are scholars.

At that time, the new King Lu succeeded to the throne, and Wei Long, who was the uncle of King Lu, was already the deputy marshal of the Qingzhou soldiers and horses, and assisted the new king together with his sister.

The sentence "useless is a scholar" reached Wei Long's ears, and he remembered this sour Confucian who once wrote poems and scolded himself for being a reckless man.

There was originally a peach forest in the south of Langya, the capital of Qingzhou.

The spring breeze peach and plum blossoms bloom on the day when Shizi goes on an outing.

It's just that the peach forest, for some reason, was cut down by Wei Long, who was still the brother-in-law of King Lu.

Seeing this, Lu Shiyin scolded Wei Long, not afraid of his identity.

Wei Long didn't say anything to Lu Shiyin because of this, just a scholar, and he could say a few crazy words.

Wei Long sent someone to invite this self-proclaimed useless madman, but he was taken aback, and Lu Shiyin said to the visitor, General Wei, I can't afford to climb high.

Later, it was Wei Long who went there in person.

I don't know what the two talked about, and then Lu Shiyin became a guest of Weifu.

Once Lu Shiyin was drunk and chanted a poem,

Last year, in this forest today, the peach blossoms on the human face were red.

The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze.

People only know that Wei Long is cutting down the peach forest for Hongyan, and the poem recited by Lu Shiyin is written by Wei Long.

That Weilong's beloved person married into the Lu family and married Lu Shiyin's cousin. And Lu Shiyin's cousin is the descendant of the Lu family, and his father is the patriarch of the Lu family.

The Lu family is one of the four major families in Qingzhou, and King Lu, who is at the helm of Qingzhou, also has to give three points to the patriarchs of the four major families.

The four major families have been operating in Qingzhou for much longer than the Great Jin Dynasty.

Hearing that General Wei mentioned the peach tree, Lu Shiyin smiled,

"After all these years, you still can't let go?"

Wei Long shook his head and said,

"She was gone last year!"

Lu Shiyin was stunned, looked at Wei Long, who was already gray, and did not speak.

Wei Long had already stepped into the small garden, and the three sons of his entourage were waiting outside the door.

Wei Long said as he walked,

"The deceased is like Sifu, the living are gone, she is just one step ahead, she is not fortunate to get married in this life, I hope to cut the candle in the next life, old guy, why are you reluctant to pour me a cup of tea?"

Lu Shiyin is also half of the age when he is in the ground, just now he was just a momentary distraction, and then he walked in with Wei Long, and when he heard the words, he said,

"The general is making fun of the old man, and the old man is going to boil water and make tea. ”

Before that girl married into the Lu family, Lu Shiyin, like many scholars, admired this woman. Wei Long already had a wife and two concubines, and he never married.

Wei Long waved his hand and said,

"Shiyin is not busy, speaking of which, since you went up the mountain, in the early years, you went down the mountain several times a year to sit on my house, why didn't you even want to go down the mountain in the past two years? ”

The two of them had walked to the small pavilion built in the courtyard, there were small bamboo chairs in the pavilion, and Lu Shiyin, who wanted to go into the house to boil water and make tea, asked Wei Long to sit down, bowed his waist and sat down, and said,

"It's all the year of the sixtieth year, such a body is not as good as the general, I can't afford to toss, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and it is a good place to recuperate. The general came this time, but he came for the big wall?"

Wei Long leaned on the small bamboo chair, closed his eyes slightly, felt the coolness brought by the gust of mountain wind, and opened his mouth slightly,

"At the beginning, the old man said to arrange someone to take care of you, but you didn't want to, saying that you are used to being alone and wild. Old stubborn, there are people in the mountains who are like immortals, but after all, we can't do without grains, and we can't avoid birth, old age, sickness and death. ”

When Lu Shiyin heard this, he opened his mouth and asked,

"Don't wait for the big wall to be weak?"

Wei Long's eyes opened, straightened up, looked at Lu Shiyin and said,

"It's too late, someone assassinated King Lu, and now King Lu won't last long. ”

—————————————————

Cheng Shifei and Yuan Xi sat on the hillside, the ground was a little damp, and the morning dew was rolling in the wind on the blades of grass.

The morning sun is rising, looking at the clouds in the distance, bright like fire.

The hare was placed at the feet of Cheng Zhi, and when Yuan Xi asked him that question, he was a little confused.

Is it true that such a cute rabbit died under his own arrow, and he was so excited to see his prey?

How could he be so cold-blooded?

Yuan Xi patted Cheng Shifei, who was sitting next to him, and said,

"Xiao Fei, you said that in this big mountain, hares and pheasants eat grass, wolves, bears, tigers and leopards eat meat, which one is more cruel?"

Cheng didn't speak, what Brother Yuan said, he understood in his heart.

Yuan Xi continued,

"Xiao Fei, there is no need to talk about the big truth, as long as you know that there are some things that we have not done in person, you can have a clear conscience, and if we do it with our own hands, we may not be ashamed. You see, if you hadn't shot this rabbit yourself, and if it had been cooked and brought to you, would you still be able to eat it very happily? We hunt animals for food, this is our human survival instinct, and there is nothing wrong with it, if you don't kill it, someone else will kill it and treat it as a food for the stomach. Uncle Zhao hunts for a living, do you say he is a cold-blooded, bloodthirsty person?"

Cheng nodded and said in a low voice,

"Brother Yuan, I understand, it's just that I can't accept it for a while, just slow it down!"

Picking up the hare, Cheng Cheng examined it carefully.

The rabbit was already lifeless, and Cheng Shifei slowly pulled out the feather arrow, picked up a handful of weeds, and wiped the blood on the arrow. After inserting the arrow into the quiver, he looked up at Yuan Xi with a firm look in his eyes,

"Brother Yuan, this time I will try to shoot directly at the target myself, instead of trying my luck like just now. ”

Yuan Xi got up, patted his buttocks, casually put a piece of grass in his hand in his mouth, and said,

"Okay, this time you try to catch a pheasant, I'll catch a few, and go back to give Brother Kong a try. ”

After saying that you should be careful, Yuan Xi ran towards the forest.

It was too easy for Yuan Xi to catch rabbits and pheasants, and he deliberately startled the birds and beasts so that it would be easier for Cheng to find the target.

Picking up a few stones, popping them out with his fingers, and after harvesting two hares and two pheasants, Yuan Xi, who was carrying the prey, walked towards Cheng Shifei.

Seeing that Cheng right and wrong ten zhang away were raising his bow and pulling the string, holding his breath and staring in one direction, he did not move forward, just waited for the arrow of right and wrong to be issued. He looked in the direction of the right and wrong sight, and it was a roe deer wandering in the forest.

The sound of bowstrings echoed in the mountains, and the feathered arrows went straight for the roe deer.

Perhaps it was the disturbance of the sound of the bowstring, and the arrow that was originally aimed at the roe deer only hit the hind buttocks of the roe deer, and the painful roe deer jumped up and down with the feather arrows on the buttocks, and disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Drawing the second arrow, he was about to hurry up and shoot the right or wrong, but the target was blocked by the woods.

He was a little annoyed that if this roe deer was brought back, it would be enough for him to brag for a while.

Yuan Xi walked over with the prey, and after seeing Yuan Xi coming, Cheng Shifei said with an excited and somewhat regretful face,

"Brother Yuan, don't you know, I almost shot a big guy just now, an adult roe deer. Unfortunately, my arrow hit the roe deer's ass and let it run. ”

Yuan Xi looked at Cheng Cheng with some regret and said,

"It's okay, there is a chance, let's come a few more times in the future. ”

Cheng right and wrong tilted his head to think about it, too, but his luck was good, at least he also shot an arrow, and when he saw Yuan Xi coming back with four prey, his eyes were straight, how much effort did he have?

He had seen Yuan Xi's ability to catch hares with his bare hands before, and did this winged pheasant also catch them with his bare hands? Seeing these prey drooping their heads, but there was no blood, he asked curiously,

"Brother Yuan, how did you get it?"

Yuan Xi raised the prey in his hand and said,

"You say this, I hit it with a stone!"

Yuan Xi said it lightly, and Cheng was stunned when he heard it, and all he had in his mind was the picture of Yuan Xi tiptoeing with stones to smash rabbits and pheasants.

But looking at the prey intact, it doesn't look like a stone, right?

Looking at Cheng Cheng's puzzled eyes, Yuan Xi put the prey on the ground, and then bent down to pick up two stones, one large and one small. He stood there and listened carefully, and then casually threw the larger stone in his hand, about twenty feet away, and a pheasant flew out with a cry.

Yuan Xi flicked his fingers, and the pebble in his hand flew out, and the pheasant fell to the ground.

Cheng Shifei tiptoed his neck and looked into the distance, and then looked at Yuan Xi.

Then he stammered and asked,

"Brother Yuan, this, this, that's it?"

Yuan Xi clapped his hands, raised his eyes to look at the right and wrong that was very surprised, and said,

"Ahh

Cheng Shifei raised his arm, followed Yuan Xi's example, and then stretched out his hand and flicked it, with a snap in his mouth, he flicked it with a gesture, of course, he flicked it empty.

"It's as simple as that?"

Yuan Xi smiled,

"Okay, go and pick up that pheasant, this is the kung fu I have practiced since I was a child, and if you play a lot, you will become familiar, if you are willing to learn, I can teach you, but first say it, this is no trick, just like archery, practice makes perfect." ”

Cheng Zheng, who was so happy to go to pick up the prey, said "Okay" happily.

The two of them went up the mountain this time, and they gained a lot, so they packed up and prepared to go down the mountain, when they heard the neighing of the horse, which was the direction in which they were tethering the horse.

The horses were much more valuable than the prey in their hands, and they thought that there was no one in the mountains, and the horses should be tethered there. This sudden horse roar made the two of them speed up their steps and walk back with their prey.

Thinking that some beast had startled the horses, they ran back to the place where they were tethered, and saw two masked men moving their horses.

Seeing the comer, the two did not stop the movements in their hands, one had already untied the reins and led the horse, and the other person held a knife in one hand and followed behind.

Drink right and wrong,

"What are you doing?"

The two stopped, and the man who followed behind looked back at Cheng Fei, looked at it, and said,

"Where did you come from, didn't you see your uncle leading the horse?"

When Cheng heard this, he said angrily,

"That's my horse!"

The man holding the reins in one hand and the hilt of the sword with the other, said proudly,

"Your horse, what are you kidding? This horse is mine, uncle!"

Cheng Shifei heard it, and co-authored that he had met a bandit, but Cheng Shifei was a little excited, and he was ready to teach the two of them a lesson. Such a little thief, he is confident that he can handle it alone without Brother Yuan's action.

He whispered to Yuan Xi,

"Brother Yuan, it seems that we have met a bandit, leave it to me, I promise to beat the two of them. ”

Yuan Xi remembered what the two of them saw when they went up the mountain, so he asked back,

"Xiao Fei, something is wrong, there are soldiers guarding the mountain when I came, how can there be bandits on this mountain?"

Cheng thought about right and wrong, and it was true, so he shouted to the two who no longer paid attention to them and continued to walk forward,

"Where did the gangsters come from, don't you know that this mountain is heavily guarded?"

Those two people were the men and horses led by Wang Ji, and they pretended to be bandits and dealt with Zhou Bochang's people.

It's just that for some reason, the lord ordered a few of them to hang around these mountains, and according to Lord Zhou, they should be active in those mountains in the southeast.

Lord Wang told them a few of them, be clever, this is a secret mission.

Zhou Bochang did not send anyone to track down Yuan Xi and Cheng Shifei, after all, with Yuan Shaoxia's ability, it was impossible to track them at all.

His idea was that if Yuan Xi was really weird, he would search carefully after he descended the mountain.

Moreover, the stationing of the Zhennan army here is already a move to startle the snake, even if something happens, it may become nothing.

Wang Ji did this, but he did not listen to the arrangement of his eldest brother.

Since Songguo Mountain only allows activities on the west side of the mountain, if Yuan Xi comes here to hunt, he will inevitably climb this mountain, and he is ready to wait for the rabbit.

A boy from the mountains and wilderness, who went to the city and changed his clothes, is he a young hero?

Even if Zhou Bochang told him, he didn't believe it.

He thought that the general was wise to suspect that the boy, and that the uninformed women in the city still spread the rumors about what the young lady had to do with the boy, and a bunch of foolish people did not want to know what the identity of the young lady was.

If it weren't for the general's atmosphere, he would have wanted to take a team of people to patrol the streets every day to see who was idle and dared to gossip about the general's mansion.

Wang Ji really likes the title of the female devil of Miss.

The drill can't be regarded as child's play, but fortunately, if you pretend to be a thief on your side, you can naturally hide everywhere and play a game of hide and seek with the eldest brother's people.

In this mountain, there is the advantage of the terrain, and it is much easier to hide and defend than to grasp and attack.

That's why they've cleaned up so many times, and there are still bandits everywhere.

The thief is as cunning as a fox.

Since he is pretending to be a bandit, he can naturally disobey common sense, and it is normal for him to send a few people out of the scope of the drill.

The two teams were stationed in Songguo Mountain for one day, and according to the plan, Wang Ji's side had two days to hide, and then Zhou Bochang led people to clean up.

Wang Ji also sent people to guard the mountain, but he hid in the distance, secretly staring at the road up the mountain.

I didn't expect that kid to come so soon.

After receiving the report from his own people, he quietly touched it himself, found the person he arranged, and made some arrangements to have the picture of Yuan Xi and Cheng right and wrong.

Since you pretend to be a bandit, let's test it as a bandit.

The two of them are not very capable, but their tone is not small, and the opposite side is just two hairy boys, although they are pretending to be bandits, they are real people in the Zhennan Army, and they will not be afraid.

One of them spoke,

"Who are you frightening, uncle, am I scared? This horse is uncle, what can you do?"

But the king can explain it, and there is no need to be afraid of these two, but bring the horse to him, and he will have a reward.

What are you afraid of with the support of Lord Wang!

Cheng Shifei saw that the two of them did not enter the oil and salt, so he was angry in his heart and said to Yuan Xi,

"Brother Yuan, those two are obviously unreasonable, let's take advantage of the situation here and snatch the horse back. ”

Yuan Xi always felt that something was wrong, but these two people were really messing around, and they didn't have a good countermeasure, so they said to right and wrong,

"Xiao Fei, just teach a lesson, let's one by one, and solve it quickly. ”

The two of them did not carry the two behind their backs in the conversation, and when the two of them heard this, they drew their swords and sheathed them, and shouted,

"Good boy, arrogant enough!"

After saying that, the two of them slapped the horse's buttocks vigorously and ran forward.

Yuan Xi and the two looked at each other, what kind of operation is this, don't think about it, it's important to chase the horse, and they also chase after each other.

I don't know how many people there are on the other side, and there are blades in their hands, Yuan Xi, who is afraid of being left alone, can't chase so fast, as long as he doesn't lose his target.

The two men drove their horses not down the mountain, but in the southeast direction.

The mountain road is rugged, coupled with the large number of trees, this run, the light skill of success is only one or two, even if Yuan Xi slows down his pace, he is still thrown out more than ten zhang away.

After chasing a cup of tea, Yuan Xi suddenly stopped chasing, and at this time, Cheng Shifei, who caught up, wiped his sweat and said anxiously,

"Brother Yuan, why don't you chase me, don't you care about me, catch up with the horse first, I bet fifty taels of silver in the horse market, that's still for the sake of my Yunde Martial Arts Pavilion, the deposit is much less. ”

Yuan Xi looked at the direction in which the two of them disappeared, and said,

"Don't worry, you can find it in a while, there are suddenly a lot of people in front, Xiao Fei, this matter is not simple, act at the opportunity for a while, you have to be more careful. ”

After saying that, he beckoned, and the two walked forward.

After walking forty or fifty zhang, Cheng saw his rented horse tied to a tree twenty zhang away.

Cheng also saw that something was wrong, and he opened his mouth to ask,

"Brother Yuan, I think those two seem to be here to lure you and me here, but it's not right, why did they do this?"

Yuan Xi was also puzzled, just when the two were puzzled, more than a dozen people came out, all masked and holding bows, bending bows and arrows, aiming at the two.

Although Cheng Shifei had been to play in the army, where had he ever seen such a battle, the dazzling arrows on the opposite side shook his heart, and he suddenly felt a little scared, for fear that if the people on the other side were not careful, he would be the same as the rabbit he shot to death.

Before the person on the other side came out, Yuan Xi had already looked around, and a foot behind him, there was a big tree two people thick, he moved his steps, blocked Cheng right and wrong behind him, and said in a low voice,

"Xiao Fei, the situation is unknown, if you hide behind the tree next to you for a while, their bows and arrows will not be able to shoot you, with your ability, if someone attacks you, it will not be a problem for you to protect yourself, remember, believe me, believe in your father, believe in yourself. ”

With Brother Yuan in the way, Cheng Zhifei only felt a lot more at ease.

Hearing this, he didn't speak, and glanced at the tree that Brother Yuan said, he gritted his teeth, leaned over, and flashed over.

The other party didn't make any moves, and the arrows all pointed to Yuan Xi.

At this time, Yuan Xi opened his mouth,

"Is there a steward? What does that mean? Come out and say something!"

Wang Ji didn't expect so many feather arrows pointed at that wild boy, he would be so calm.

The timid guy in the Yunde Martial Arts Pavilion saved a lot of trouble by hiding himself, otherwise it would be difficult to explain if he was injured by mistake, after all, the owner of the Pavilion and the general are still very familiar.

Miss mentioned right and wrong, saying that she had beaten her to cry when she was a child, and after saying that, Miss smiled happily, like a flower.

Wang Ji, who came out from behind everyone, did not cover his face, Yuan Xi looked at it and said,

"Is that you?"

The person he met after going down the mountain, Yuan Xi disliked it the most, I am afraid it was this person.

Wang Ji said proudly,

"That's right, it's me!"

Thinking of the look and tone of the kid at the beginning, Wang Ji felt a little unhappy in his heart, a kid from the mountains, how about some kung fu? Where did he get the confidence to talk to himself so much.

No, it's disdainful to talk to yourself.

This hurt Lord Wang himself.

I'll let you see who has the ability to speak like that.

Yuan Xi thought of the people who were following him outside the martial arts hall, and then thought of the identity of the person opposite, so he had a guess, and he said,

"Look at this battle, it's coming specifically for me!"

The corners of Wang Ji's mouth lifted and he sneered,

"You can be proud of the general's attention so much, how about it?

Cheng Shifei, who was hiding behind the tree, thought of what his father told him, but he didn't expect that the Zhennan Army would act like this.

"Bad intentions?"

Yuan Xi smiled, he opened his mouth and asked,

"Since you say that I have a bad plan, why don't you arrest me in Pingnan City, why bother so much?"

Wang Ji sneered,

"How can our Zhennan Army arrest people for no reason? Who knows if you still have any comrades. ”

Cheng couldn't hold back any longer, he jumped out and said loudly at Wang Ji,

"I am the master of the Yunde Martial Arts Pavilion, my father Cheng Yunde is good friends with General Lu, and Brother Yuan is a chair martial artist invited by my father, not a bad person. ”

Wang Ji didn't expect that coward to jump out, he sneered lightly and said,

"Yo, the young hall master of the Yunde Martial Arts Pavilion, such a big name, I advise you to be honest, so as not to injure you by mistake and hurt the harmony between the hall master and the general, I tell you, I suspect that he has something to do with the assassination of my young lady. ”
