"The more you yearn for the sun in the heights, the more its roots must go downward, the more it must take root in the soil, and the more it will endure more shade ......"

Yang Xiaoyang sat in front of the tepidly burned wooden house and muttered this sentence softly.

The yin air here is heavy, and the spring breeze blows slowly, but it can't blow this fire. Now the hut has been burned down for a long time, but the outline can still be clearly seen.

"Little lamb, what did you just say?" Xiao Di looked at the wooden house twice, stopped looking at it, and flew to Yang Xiaoyang's side and asked.

Yang Xiaoyang put the bowl and a quaint book into his arms, and a talisman was pasted under the bowl so that the contents of the bowl would not fall out, "Xiaodi, what do you say is good and what is bad?"

Xiao Tu pursed her lips, frowned, raised her eyes, thought for a while, and shook her head, "I don't know." But I've heard it, and I want to know what I don't know. ”

Yang Xiaoyang smiled and continued to ask: "Then if I can do something that is bad in the eyes of most people, but I can treat your sister Yeqi, do you think I should do it?"

This time, Xiao Di didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "Then do it, as long as I can save Sister Yeqi, I am willing to do a hundred things." ”

Xiao Di was stunned for a moment after speaking, and exclaimed, "Have you found a way to save Sister Yeqi?"

Yang Xiaoyang looked at Xiao Di for a while, suddenly laughed, beckoned to Xiao Di, and when Xiao Di flew closer, he said sneakily: "Xiao Di, let me tell you, just now I told me the method of treating congenital deficiencies, but your sister Yeqi is an upright person, and she definitely doesn't want to use it, so let's not tell her, I'll quietly make the medicine for her, how about it?" ”

Children always have longing and yearning for secrets, Xiao Di didn't hear Yang Xiaoyang's more meaning, and nodded after a little thought.

Yang Xiaoyang saw that Xiao Di agreed, and didn't think much about it, he lay on the ground comfortably with his head in his hands, and quietly watched the wooden house burn down the mountain after it burned down.

...............................

In the twenty-fourth year of Anyan, summer, the city of Yingzhou.

"General, the army of the five kings has a total of 200,000 and is only ten miles away, and the 30,000 cavalry of Yongliang is believed to be three days away. A foot soldier in iron armor hugged his fist.

The Yingzhou city guard held the city head with both hands, looked at the billowing smoke and dust in the distance, and said firmly: "Go and move all the equipment in the city, you must guard the city!"

The foot soldier glanced up at the general slightly, gritted his teeth, said no more, and trotted away.

"How can a thousand people hold the city......"

Although the defender said resolutely just now, he actually knew very well in his heart that even if he held for three days, the 30,000 cavalry who came to help would never be the opponent of the 200,000 army, and the cavalry in the northern frontier was too far away to be too late.

As for Chen Zhou and Xu Zhou behind them, they were powerless to help, so they could only protect themselves.

As soon as Yingzhou City was broken, there was a horse behind him, and I don't know if the Imperial Forest Army could stop it.

"It's a day to be able to drag it out. "The Yingzhou City Guard gave himself the final order.

"Uh......h Woo......"

The horn sounded outside the city, and the Yingzhou city guard saw a group of people forming a military formation and rushing towards Yingzhou City, the momentum was huge, and they couldn't see the end at a glance.

He looked at the narrow and shallow moat in front of the city, and felt that the other party could fill the river with a single spit.

The army stopped outside the moat, and the defenders could already clearly see the chill of their weapons.

The opponent's army suddenly rode forward and shouted at the city: "Your small city will be powerless to resist in front of my army, and the city defenders will surrender quickly, otherwise your city will be destroyed in a snap of your fingers!"

Although the defender of Yingzhou City was desperate, he did not compromise, and he drew his matching sword and responded: "Although I am a husband, I will definitely shed the last drop of blood for my emperor, and you will wait for the rebellious people to come and take my head!"

The lone rider didn't say much when he heard this, and returned to the military formation.

After laughing like crazy, the defender gave one last order to the soldiers defending the city: hold the city.

"Oh, the little puppet is so temperamental, and he admires the poor way. ”

Suddenly, an old voice came into the ears of the guard, and the guard looked at it in surprise and found that there was an old man standing next to him at some point, with a fairy and a dusty temperament.

"Who are you?" asked the guard, not daring to be careless, pointing his sword at him, and frowning.

"Poor Dao is entrusted by General Yang to come to your aid. The patriarch didn't care about the sword pointing at him, touched his gray beard, and said with a smile.

The guard general thought that this old Taoist was here to take him to escape, and said firmly: "The Taoist chief has good intentions, but the last general is unwilling to abandon the city and vows to die with the city." ”

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, he pouted his lips when he met the old Dao who had just returned the fairy bones, "Who do you think you are, you have such a big face for Poor Dao to save you, and Poor Dao is here to save this Ming Wu!"

The Yingzhou City Guard didn't react for a while, and was stunned in place.

But he saw that the old man flicked his sleeves, straddled the city wall with one foot, and pointed to the black pressure outside the city with his finger, and shouted to the black army outside the city like a horseman: "Poor Dao must protect this city today, and you should retreat as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame Poor Dao for being polite!"

The Yingzhou City Guard only felt that his brain was completely insufficient at this time, and he guessed that this old way must have gone crazy.

At this moment another rider stood out and shouted, "Who in the city is speaking wild words?"

"Hehe, the poor way is just a horse's ear!" the patriarch sneered.

In response to the patriarch was the sound of war drums and shouts.

The patriarch watched the army start to charge, silently retracted the foot straddling the city wall, and muttered: "Oh, why can't you listen to persuasion?"

Then he flicked his sleeves and walked away without hesitation.

The Yingzhou city guard looked at the back of the old man and wanted to cry without tears, where is this whole thing for your old man?

Then he suddenly felt a lot quieter around him, and he stiffened his head to look out of the city, where there was still half a figure.

......

The general who commanded the Five Kings Alliance was just now commanding the army to attack the city, when he suddenly felt a flash in front of his eyes, and his mind was dizzy.

After he came back to his senses, he patted his head, looked left and right, and saw that the army was still beside him, but there was no shadow of Yingzhou City in front of him.

He heard the sound of water in his ears again, and looked back in confusion.

It's the rolling Yangtze River......

.................................

"Xiaoyang, where have you been? We have been looking for you in the mountains for a long time but have not found you, so I have been worried for a long time. Li Congwen leaned on a ginkgo biloba and ate dried fruits leisurely.

Yang Xiaoyang's face darkened, "Why can't I see that you are the slightest worried?"

Seeing Li Congwen beckoning, Xiao Di happily flew to Li Congwen's side and ate dried fruits together.

"Have you found someone who doesn't violate the Tao?" Ju Yeqian looked Yang Xiaoyang up and down, and always felt that he was a little different from before.

Yang Xiaoyang tried not to look at Ju Yeqi with too much expression, and for the first time found that her eyes were so bright.

Yang Xiaoyang bowed his head slightly and said, "His life is over, and he has been feathered." ”

Ju Yeqi was stunned for a moment, sighed, bowed to the mountain, and recited the scriptures.

"He did such an intolerable thing, and you still chanted the scriptures for him?" Yang Xiaoyang said.

Ju Yeyan glanced at him, his face was calm, "Heavenly Dao has its own burden, there is no need to worry about poor Dao, poor Dao chanting for him is just sending him a ride." ”

Yang Xiaoyang said secretly: He can't hear it.

Li Congwen put away the uneaten dried fruits, clapped his hands and said: "This son admires the mind of the night lady! ”

Yang Xiaoyang glanced at Li Congwen, if he knew what the people who didn't violate the Tao did, he might not be as simple as scolding.

But not necessarily, with his temperament, he will applaud.

Yang Xiaoyang ignored him and asked tentatively at Ju Yeqi, "Yeqi, in fact, you are not afraid of death?"

Ju Yeyan glanced at him, "Poor Dao has been dead for more than ten years, even if he started to be afraid, he is not afraid now." Furthermore, life and death are days, life and death are one, what is the difference between fear of death and fear of life?"

Yang Xiaoyang was dumbfounded, he didn't dare to say more, he was afraid that Ju Yeyan would guess something, but his determination to make a medicine for her never wavered, but he became firmer.

Ju Yeqi suddenly smiled, "Poor Dao can see such rivers and lakes before he dies, and meet so many interesting characters, what is the regret of dying?"

Xiao Tu shook her braids, flew to Ju Yeqi's side and shouted, "Sister Yeqi, you won't die, Xiao Yang and I will cure you!"

Ju Yeqi blinked her big eyes twice and touched Xiao Di's head, "That's nature, the ancestors said that I won't die, then I won't die for a while." ”

"Okay, don't talk about this, let's hurry to Ezhou City. Xiao Di, I'll take you to the best restaurant in the city and serve you all the dishes!" Li Congwen patted his chest and laughed, as if he had forgotten about the things that did not violate the Tao.

Xiao Di's eyes lit up, and she flew to Li Congwen and chattered about the dishes she wanted to eat.

Yang Xiaoyang glanced at them enviously, then got into the carriage and prepared to drive the horse to Ezhou City.

"Why didn't this horse listen to today?" Yang Xiaoyang looked at the jujube red horse who didn't move, frowned and asked.

Li Congwen sat next to him and looked at him with disdain, "Don't you feed him the mash on weekdays?

Yang Xiaoyang's eyes widened, "My brain is broken, feed a horse to drink mash?"

Li Congwen stretched out his hand to stop him, "Hey, don't quibble, my son understands everything." ”

What do you know?

Yang Xiaoyang watched Li Congwen take out a jar of mash from the carriage and put it under the horse's mouth to feed it. When the horse had finished drinking, he snorted and went out into the woods.

Yang Xiaoyang had a dark face, and secretly said that this is to raise an uncle?
