was stunned, only to hear Xiao Yuanying say disdainfully: "It turned out that the Wu delegation had arrived, what should I be doing." Come, Shaoyang, let's continue to drink and talk. As he spoke, he pulled Long Shaoyang and Cheng Bo into the table.

"Your Highness is talking about the Wu State of our Great Qi Dynasty?"

"Exactly. A few years ago, a letter was sent out in the inner court, saying that this year is His Majesty's 40th birthday, and that the countries of Xiliang, Northern Wei, and Eastern Wu will send delegations to celebrate, and that there are two days before His Majesty's birthday, and the mission should also arrive. Xiao Yuanying said lightly.

"Although Wu has always been a vassal state of my Great Qi Domain, as far as the old slave knows, the clan relationship has long existed in name only over the years, and the annual tribute has long been broken, why is it so pompous this time? Cheng Bo said.

"yes, I think it's weird too. Not only that, but I heard that this time it was the only daughter of Wu Guogong - the commander of Zizi County. Xiao Yuanying's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile, "Speaking of this Zizi county lord, Zhong Ling is handsome, elegant and dignified, and is known as the first beauty in Eastern Wu." Shaoyang, Haizhou is connected to Wu State, have you ever heard of the good name of the county lord?"

"The county lord's reputation has long been heard of, but he didn't have the opportunity to see it. Long Shaoyang said with a smile.

"Haha, 'My Fair Lady, I've been longing for it'. Shaoyang, this can be described as a heroic temperament. Xiao Yuanying said with a smile.

Long Shaoyang was about to answer, but when he heard Cheng Bo, he suddenly sighed deeply and said: "Speaking of Wu Kingdom, it was not like this more than 20 years ago. I remember that one year there was a domestic rebellion, Wu Guogong escaped alone for help, Emperor Taizu Gao sent troops to escort him, and the battle was settled, and Wu Guogong was reinstated. But now, if Wu Guoruo leaves, the Northern Wei Dynasty is eyeing the tiger, and the Xiliang wolf is ambitious...... Daqi has long since lost its former prosperity. With that, he buried his head deeply.

Xiao Yuanying glanced at the door and said in a low voice: "Uncle Cheng, you don't have to hide it like this, although this king was only a drooping age back then, he also remembers some things." I want Emperor Taizu Gao to be wise and martial, all countries surrendered, Haiyan River was clear, Wenchen was like clouds, and military generals were like rain. ”

He burped as he spoke, and then said: "Speaking of military generals, I have to mention the generals of the Four Great Pillar Kingdoms, who are a little older this year, I am afraid that everyone knows about it...... Shaoyang, how old am I to be you, I saw and heard these things when I was young, you are just an adult, have you ever heard of these old things?"

Long Shaoyang originally sat on the side in a daze, listening to the two reminiscing about the old things, and was at a loss. Seeing that he asked himself at this moment, he smiled to himself and said lightly: "The junior brother has also heard a little about the generals of the Four Great Pillar Kingdoms, but it is fragmented and incomplete. ”

He took a sip of wine and swallowed it.

"Speaking of which, the generals of these four pillar kingdoms are about the same age as the old slaves. Cheng Bo said, "Little Prince, Master Long, more than 20 years ago, the old slave also tiptoed into the ranks, but he had no choice but to live a shallow life, and he had no chance to serve under the four generals. He coughed violently, and the old bark-like face turned red.

Cheng Bo said: "It is said that a group of generals followed Emperor Taizu Gao's southern expedition to the north and south, born and died, and Dingding Yu was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and the four with the greatest merit were named the generals of the Zhuguo, and the first-class dukes were attacked, known as the generals of the four pillars, and they were the generals of Jingdong, Pingxi, Zhennan, and Dingbei Zhuguo. ”

"I heard that Emperor Taizu Gao also specially ordered craftsmen to build seals and distribute them to the generals of the Pillar Kingdom. Xiao Yuanying interjected.

"Yes, Emperor Taizu Gao swept the universe, the people lived in peace, auspicious and auspicious, there was a native of the people to offer four pieces of jade from Jingshan, Emperor Gao's special order in the palace craftsmen according to the ancient four spirits each made a jade seal, in line with the direction, and gave the four pillars of the generals, that is, the famous jasper green dragon seal, fat jade white tiger seal, blood jade vermilion bird seal and black jade Xuanwu seal. Afterward...... Later, the battle of Suoguiba was killed in the battle of Dingbei, and the general Jingdong was given to death for "slandering the lord and conspiracy to rebel", and Emperor Taizu Gao followed the dragon to the sea...... The wind is always blown away by the rain and the wind. Later, General Pingxi guarded the west, and General Zhennan entered the court, holding the power of the world's soldiers and horses...... Nearly 20 years have passed in a flash. After speaking, Cheng Bo raised his neck and drank all the wine in the cup.

"Where are the four jade seals now?" Xiao Yuanying asked hurriedly.

"The two jade seals of the fat jade white tiger and the blood jade vermilion bird are considered to be intact human jade, and as for the other two jade seals, they have disappeared since the death of General Dingbei and General Jingdong. Cheng Bo replied.

Xiao Yuanying said: "This king was still young, and his ears were full of the reputation of the four generals, especially the general Jingdong, Emperor Gao once commented that one and a half of the generals of the four pillars were all-rounders, and this one was General Di. General Di's literary talent and martial arts are the first of the four generals, and it can really be said that martial arts can be used to determine the world, and Wen can put pen to peace in the world. Coupled with the noble character, open-mindedness, and righteousness, he is most loved by the soldiers and the people, a generation of famous generals, but it is a pity that he ...... later"

Cheng Bodao: "I heard that eighteen years ago, a royal Shi Jin Cheng Di General handwriting a pair of poems, according to which he was impeached for "slandering the lord and plotting rebellion", Emperor Gao was furious and personally convicted. General Di led 80,000 soldiers to garrison abroad at that time, and after receiving the holy order, he went to Beijing alone. General Di is such a smart man, after some interrogation, knowing that his defense is useless, in order to protect the soldiers from being implicated, he pleaded guilty and drew a prisoner, and finally gave a glass of gold dust wine to death in prison. ”

Xiao Yuanying said: "Hey, it can be said that the general has a hundred battles and his reputation is broken, and he looks back thousands of miles to the river beam, and the old man is forever." Cheng Bo, rumored ...... It is rumored that the villain around General Di stole his poems for the sake of wealth and wealth, so as to invite credit, which was far-fetched by people with ulterior motives, and was interpreted in a twisted way......"

Cheng Bodao: "These are all rumors, chasing after the wind and shadows, and no one has real evidence." As for the truth of the matter, things have changed, cold and summer, and only the participants of the year know about it. ”

"Well, it's not a pity for the eldest princess of Sadahara. At that time, she tried all kinds of persuasion, to no avail, and after the general was given death, she was depressed all day long, and soon committed suicide by hanging herself. Genealogly, this king still calls him an aunt, how sad!

"Lord Wang, you drank too much......"

"This king has drunk too much? This king has believed in a saying in his life, that is, not to tell all lies, not to tell all truths. Ben Wang ...... What this king said just now is true, manly...... Big Husband ...... Be as it is. ”

......

The two of you say a word to me, you have a cup and I have a cup, just like a chess opponent, very happy.

Xiao Yuanying hiccuped, thinking that he was afraid of snubbing Long Shaoyang, glanced at him, and saw that he listened to the conversation between the two very attentively, motionless, but the expression on his face was very strange, it seemed that there was a sigh, pain, curiosity, and a kind of compassion and pity, and sighed: "Shaoyang, say ...... Speaking of which, General Di is still a little implicated with you......"

Long Shaoyang seemed to have been hit by electricity all of a sudden, and exclaimed, "And me?"

"Not bad. Xiao Yuanying's two eyes that were already red stared at him, and nodded: "He...... He is the owner of your current guest house, the father of Xiao Di Xiao's eldest brother. ”

After speaking, he fell to the ground and lay on the wine table.

Together with King Teng's entourage, the two of them were put into the carriage, and Long Shaoyang first sent King Teng to the mansion, and then drove back to the Xiao Mansion by car. After a big round of tossing, when I got off in front of Xiao's house, it was already the time to hold the lights. There were already servants from the Xiao Mansion waiting for him, Long Shaoyang was thinking about carrying the drunk Cheng Bo out of the car with the servants, and when he turned around, he found that Cheng Bo had gotten out of the car at some point, and he was swaggering towards the courtyard with the cigarette pot pinned to his waist. Long Shaoyang smiled silently and followed.

Back to the Zhu House, after a simple meal of porridge and snacks, Long Shaoyang casually took a book from the bookcase and walked through the room at will.

When he came to the window, the cold moonlight poured down through the window, and he looked up, but saw a round of moon full like a silver platter, hanging in the sky. Looking down at a glance, he saw a corner of the letterhead exposed under the paperweight on the case, Long Shaoyang's heart moved, moved the paperweight, and slowly unfolded the letterhead, only to see that the font on the paper was straight and neat, with official script, and the pen between the horizontal bends and hooks was not enough-it was the familiar handwriting.

There are only a few words on it: "Martial arts and literature test, be prepared." ”

He slowly lowered his hand and looked out the window in a daze.

After a long time, he raised his hand and hung the letterhead over the candle flame in front of the table.
