Volume 2 The Rivers and Lakes in the Temple and Outside the Temple Chapter 24 The Frost Test
The sound of the rain grew louder and louder, making the empty attic look particularly lonely.
Footsteps sounded behind Xu Changan.
"There are some things that are easy to discern when you think about them. ”
The voice of the night thousand trees reached Xu Changan's ears.
"If that senior can freely enter and leave the Yunmeng Forbidden Land, you don't have to worry, it's not easy to catch a grandmaster-level master. ”
After finishing speaking, the footsteps behind Xu Changan faded away.
......
Chai Xintong woke up.
There is always a special magic in the windows of Dechun Building.
The girls in the building would use a few soft stools to set up in the afternoon, put their slender legs on the stools, and occasionally look up at the world outside the building.
The boss of Dechun Building also liked it before, but she didn't sit lazily in the afternoon, but liked to stay quietly in front of the window alone after midnight, not knowing what to think in her heart.
Thinking about it, the temporary boss of Dechun Building also likes this, puts a chair in front of the window, and looks out of the window from time to time.
"Did she say where she went?" Chai Xintong asked lightly, unable to hear the joy, anger and sorrow in his words.
Xiao Tong licked the rock sugar gourd in his hand and said vaguely: "The shopkeeper Fan seems to have something, and he left with an uncle before you woke up." ”
"Also, you should be happy, otherwise someone will ask you for money as soon as you wake up, and it will be uncomfortable to think about it, but you are the one who promised to build a few more Dechun buildings for others. Besides, they spent a lot of money this time to hire an old miracle doctor to help you heal your injuries. If I were you......" The boy paused, then said, "If I were you, I would make a promise." ”
Chai Xintong did not move.
Xiao Tong poked his head forward, wanting to see Chai Xintong's expression at this time.
Seeing that the child was slightly closer, Chai Xintong pulled the child past and snatched the rock sugar gourd from the child's hand.
"After eating the rock sugar gourd for so long, my mouth is not sweet, and I ate it in vain. He threw it out.
The child was teary-eyed and aggrieved.
At this time, a shriveled old man walked in, saw the aggrieved appearance of the little boy, his beard curled, and scolded angrily: "Stinky boy, believe it or not, I threw you out." ”
Chai Xintong turned his head and smiled: "This is Dechun Building, and I am the acting shopkeeper." ”
Fan didn't save a moment of anger.
"Little boy, the master will buy it for you again, and you and the master will go back to the mountains in the future, and you will have everything. ”
Chai Xintong's eyes widened.
"Old man, tell me clearly, who will go back to the mountain with you, whose master are you?"
Fan Busu had a headache, he originally thought that this kid would easily let the child worship himself as a teacher after waking up, after all, there are not many people in the world who want to worship him as a teacher, if he really wants to count, it is estimated that he can be ranked from Tongzhou to Chang'an.
But this kid doesn't get diesel, and when he says a few words, he will come over with a cane to beat himself.
If it weren't for the fact that this kid was tightly wrapped, he really didn't doubt that Chai Xintong would do it directly.
"What are you going to do to make him worship me as a teacher? You must know that the cluster of cyan fire that was born in his dantian would be a pity if he didn't practice my lineage. ”
Chai Xintong nodded approvingly.
"You can teach if you want, no one will stop you. However, he is still a member of my Confucius Temple, and his master is only qualified to be a person in the Confucius Temple. ”
Fan Bushu's face was tangled, and he hugged Xiao Tong: "Let's go, grandpa will take you to buy rock sugar gourd!" After speaking, he glanced at Chai Xintong as if showing off.
......
The winter in Tongzhou came as late as a hundred years, and if it was replaced by other years, I am afraid that it would have already covered with snow, covering the entire Beiman, the entire Tongzhou, including the small towns south of Tongzhou.
For this kind of weather, Coke spoiled the people of Tongzhou and the Holy Dynasty, especially the temple sages who were in high positions and strategized, and of course the soldiers who guarded the Zhenban Mansion at the junction of Beiban and Tongzhou.
If it was in previous years, heavy snow fell one after another, covering the snow wolf riding forward. The group of soldiers riding snow wolves mixed in the snow, and every time they went south, they could get good results.
The staff of the military department in Chang'an City had a rare and enjoyable winter, they didn't have to be urged by the military department to come up with various solutions, and they didn't have to be scolded by General Xu Zhenwu's nose and scolding the waste, and they had a rare good winter.
Every time those staff members were scolded, they wanted to bury their heads in the ground. But this northern barbarian snow wolf ride, the world's famous iron horse, no matter how much you force them, it is useless, the iron horse that has not been able to solve it for a hundred years, even if you force them for another hundred years, it is useless! Sometimes, they are scolded so much that they even wish they could play in person, and it is a big deal to be bitten to death by the snow wolf the size of a foal, and they do not have to be humiliated by those big men who wear brocade, eat delicacies, and play with jade.
Zhao Zhiyan is one of the many staff, and he was also scolded in previous years. was scolded by those dignitaries and nobles, and it seemed that they were a little sorry for their ancestors and ancestors when they hanged themselves without shame.
This year, however, was very different, and he made a constructive proposal.
The bigwigs of the Qin Heavenly Prison have calculated and brought bad news.
In another half a month, this belated heavy snow will come, not only in Beiban and Tongzhou, but also in Chang'an.
This news undoubtedly gave the staff of the military department a little respite.
They began to get nervous, and were scolded by those big men for being small, if something really happened to the Zhenman Mansion, it was not impossible for the imperial court to send the heads of a few of them "mediocre" in order to appease General Xu Zhenwu.
At this time, this staff member named Zhao Zhiyan quietly entered the Qin Tianjian and invited the officials on duty to have a drink, and got a message from it.
About seven days later, the frost began to fall, and the frost was to welcome the heavy snow a month later.
But according to the time of the frost, he planned a sneak attack before the heavy snowfall.
For so many years, the Holy Dynasty was in a situation of passive beating, the cavalry of the Northern Barbarians was like a swift wind, as fast as lightning, everywhere they went, the food and women plundered, and before the army arrived, there were only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the town.
It seems that being oppressed has become a habit.
But this time, there was actually a staff member who came up with such a plan, taking advantage of the heavy snow to counterattack, and also using a small force of cavalry, this plan made the magnates of Chang'an City raise their eyebrows, and there was a sense of pleasure in returning the favor to the other.
Soon this plan was reported from the Ministry of War, and after the approval of various departments, even the Confucius Temple finally approved the operation.
Xu Zhenwu, as a general sent by the imperial court to Zhenman's Mansion, had never looked squarely at the suggestions of those staff members in Chang'an City, who were thousands of miles away, but what he didn't expect was that this time, General Xu Zhenwu agreed with this action and personally named it "Frost Test".
Zhao Zhizhi was also able to hold his head high in front of the staff and dignitaries in Chang'an City, and strode with his head held high.
Palace.
The second prince heard that the Zhenman Mansion was about to take a big action, and his mind became active.
King Jing'an, who supported him, was transferred to assist Xu Zhenwu before, and he didn't know what the situation was on his side, if he could get the support of General Xu Zhenwu, then he and the imperial brother would have the strength to break their wrists.
Even if he can't get Xu Zhenwu and find a way to bring King Jing'an back, he will not be as passive as he is now.
The little eunuch next to him is his confidant and often gives him some good ideas.
"Your Highness, why don't you tell the Holy Emperor to go and investigate the general's mound, and then take this opportunity to transport some food and weapons over, if it can be done, I am afraid that General Xu Zhenwu will also look at His Highness differently. ”
When the second prince heard this, his mind became lively, but he immediately became worried.
"My father said that you are not allowed to go above the Huixi Realm, in order to have the strength to fight with the imperial brother, I forcibly mentioned the cultivation to the Youye Realm some time ago. ”
The little eunuch smiled mysteriously.
"Isn't there the kind of pill in the Danfang that lays a solid foundation and lowers people's cultivation, His Royal Highness asks the Holy Emperor for medicine on the grounds that the foundation is unstable, and His Majesty will not disagree. ”
When the second prince heard this, he suddenly woke up.
Chai Xintong limped back to the bamboo forest with a cane.
Since that day, the old man has not changed the medicine for himself, but his injuries have healed, and some minor problems can recover on his own with his physical fitness alone.
The wind sounded, pieces of bamboo leaves fell, sword light flashed, and a large piece of bamboo fell in response.
Bamboo leaves flying, like snowflakes falling in the sky, a young man in green clothes, holding a long sword, standing in the wind.
Chai Xintong was not in the mood to look at this picture, and all that was left in his eyes was the rows of fallen bamboo.
"How many bamboo baskets do you have to weave to deal with Master!"
Although his heart was dripping blood, he still pulled an ugly smile at the corner of his mouth.
Xu Changan put away his long sword and walked over. He didn't speak, looked Chai Xintong up and down, and then hugged Chai Xintong's shoulders with both hands, his eyes were a little moist: "It's okay." ”
Chai Xintong was a little unaccustomed, and hurriedly opened his hand: "You pay attention to me, I'm Boss Fan's person now, don't do anything to me, besides, I don't like men." ”
Hearing this, Xu Changan laughed with tears in his eyes.
Chai Xintong's face suddenly became solemn.
"I've heard, in a few days, you're going to have a competition. With that, he raised his head. "Master once sent a letter asking me to teach you Haoran righteousness. ”
Xu Changan wanted to speak, but Chai Xintong immediately stretched out his hand to stop it.
"You don't have the right to refuse, it's my job. Looking at Chai Xintong, who was still holding a cane and covered in a tight body, Xu Changan nodded.
He had a lot of questions and puzzles, but he knew that now was not the time to ask.
"So what should I do?"
Chai Xintong smiled mysteriously: "Weave bamboo baskets and read books." I'll tell you on the last day. ”
