In the cup of Changping is tea, and in the cup of the old drunkard is wine.

"Brother Wang, do you have any worries in your heart?" Changping looked at the old drunkard, his eyes were solemn, he knew in his heart that this farewell would never see each other again.

The old drunkard bared his teeth and took a sip of spirits, "Originally, my heart was like a cat scratching, so I wanted to say goodbye to you again, this cup of cat scratching my stomach, there should not be much." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, Changping laughed bitterly, and the old drunkard laughed with shame.

There was once a high-spirited little general who once made a grand wish to lift the three-foot Qingfeng and build an immortal achievement. There is also a prince of Chu, who likes the words and smiles of the people of Western Chu, and also likes the singing and dancing in a corner of Chu, so he has ambitions and lofty aspirations.

West Chu is in the west, there is the Heavenly Palace in the west of West Chu, there is the West Desert in the west of the Heavenly Palace, there are Buddhas and demons in the West Desert, and there are great good and great evil in this world.

At that time, the Western Desert was a paradise for Buddha and demons, and thousands of temples stood around the holy land of Buddhism - Da Lei Yin Temple, during which there was often the sound of chanting, accompanied by the morning bell and dusk drum sounding in one side. In addition to these Buddhist people who chanted sutras and worshiped Buddha, the people of the Demon Sect who had been driven out by the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains also established a religion here. Kind-hearted monks traveled all over the Western Desert all year round, preaching Buddhism and helping the common people. Forced by the Central Plains to rejuvenate the Dao Law, they were based in the Western Desert, and because of the goodness of their teachings, Western Chu acquiesced in allowing them to live in the Western Desert behind them.

The original Demon Sect was indeed not tolerated by the so-called righteous people, but it was only because its exercises were inconsistent with the righteous path, and the people in the Demon Sect often did not follow the rules and regulations, and its essence was not a great evil, so Xi Chu dared to risk the disapproval of the world and accommodate them to set up a mountain gate in the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range of the Western Desert.

However, over the years, there have been martial arts idiots in the Demon Sect, some people have practiced martial arts to become holy, and some people have gone mad and fallen into demons, and those who have gone mad have created some bloody and vicious exercises, which have harmed the people, so Xi Chu at that time made the idea of getting rid of this vicious dog.

At that time, the young and vigorous old drunkard once made a bold statement: "I must carry a knife into the Western Desert to eliminate demons this time, even if there are thousands of people after me, there is no one like me. If you don't get rid of the bad demons, you won't return to Xichu. ”

The little general's name is Wang Qi, and the army led by him is Wudang, and no one can stop the Wudang army, all the way to the west, slaughtering demons and destroying bandits.

There were victories and defeats along the way, and the general never returned to the court, but only wrote a letter to the former prince who was already sitting on the throne.

"I go all the way to the west, bypassing the Heavenly Palace, there is Chen in Western Chu in China, there is a king abroad, when I return to the court, the monarch and the minister are happy, and my heart yearns for it. ”

Although the Demon Sect is a martial arts sect, when it first entered the Western Desert, it suffered the loss of being squeezed out by various sects in the Central Plains, so after entering the Western Desert, it began to recruit troops and buy horses. Under the actions of Western Chu in the past, in addition to the disciples of the Demon Sect, there were 50,000 demon troops, which were as famous as Buddhism, and became a soil emperor of the Western Desert.

After the start of Wang Qi's Western Expedition, most of the battles were invincible, especially in the key battle, Wang Qi led a thousand people to raid the Yuquan Pass, which was said to be garrisoned by 30,000 demon troops. After the end of that battle, Wang Qi entered the Dao by killing, based on the realm of heaven and man, the Demon Sect at that time had been greatly injured, and the remnants of the people accompanied the order of the sect leader Murong Feng, they scattered and hid among the people, and those bloody exercises in the sect were secretly destroyed, and they did not dare to circulate in the world again, lest they provoke this killing god to kill again.

After putting down the butcher's knife, Wang Qi met the girl who made him fall in love with the green silk noodles, and then took the girl all the way back to the court, and the soldiers who pacified the West Desert with him thought that the West Desert was laid down by his Wang Qi and Wudangjun's brothers, even if Wang Qi returned to the division, they would have to carry the knife to keep the foundation that belonged to them.

"If you hadn't met your sister-in-law back then, and later I still had the 50,000 tiger and wolf army in Xichu, led by you, how could you let the Southern Tang Dynasty be prestigious?" Changping remembered the past, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer.

The old drunkard burped, and then laughed: "It's good, Chen Tang didn't lose face in Xichu, it's just that he thinks the same as you, likes to be happy, and has more than enough to defend but not enough to attack." ”

Then the old drunkard glanced at the jar of wine beside him, "Damn, since you talk about the past, you have to drink, today we are not kings and ministers, since you mentioned your sister-in-law, then we have to follow the method between brothers." ”

Changping looked at the old drunkard in front of him, who was not a few years older than himself, but he looked much older than himself, licked his lower lip with his tongue, took out another jar of wine from behind him, and then said: "I knew that you were going to persuade you to drink, so after drinking it today, promise me to go to court with me tomorrow?" ”

The old drunkard remembered the young emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty for no reason, or another disciple of his own, and imitated and said, "But." ”

Later, after the class teacher returned to the court, Wang Qi said that he wanted to travel to the world. I have been playing in the West Desert for more than ten years, but I haven't seen the scenery of the world well, so this time I will take the girl to play a game in the world.

At that time, Changping drank with Wang Qi and Chen Tang in private, and after Wang Qi explained what happened after he said goodbye to the court, Changping responded with a smile: "My brother is okay to travel, but remember that my brother will preside over a big wedding for my brother after I come back." ”

Wang Qi said with ridicule in his tone at the time: "Aren't you afraid of the wolf ambitions of the Southern Tang Dynasty after I leave?"

Chen Tang should have been a little drunk that day, and patted the table: "Brother Wang, don't forget, there is still Chen Tang in Western Chu, there are still 100,000 sons in Western Chu, and there are still 100,000 sons in Western Desert." ”

"Haha, wonderful, the world is romantic, where can the monarchs and ministers be like me Xichu, between the tables, smiling. Wang Qi laughed, looked at Chen Tang who was in front of him, and then looked at Changping: "There is Chen Tang in Western Chu, and there will be no obstacles." ”

Since that time, there has been one less big general and one more minor general in Xichu, one less killing god and one more Jianghu person in Ximo.

"You threw off the burden back then, and I didn't think ten years ago why you would pick this beam. Changping's eyes narrowed slightly. was already a little drunk, and suddenly remembered that one day ten years ago, a sloppy man returned to the place where he was sitting today after drinking, looked at Chen Tang and himself, as well as Prime Minister Zhou Zhuang, and said: "This child, I will take him for ten years." ”

The old drunkard's eyes were also a little confused, as if he also remembered some past events, his former pride or frustration, and then said: "Because I am from the rivers and lakes, and I am also from Xichu." Then he smiled stupidly, poured the rest of the wine in his mouth into his mouth, and suddenly fell on the table as if he had lost it.

Changping looked at the ridiculous man in front of him, coughed lightly, the old drunkard in his eyes and the proud little general gradually overlapped, and sighed lightly: "What a thing." ”

There is wine in Xichu, the wine name cat scratches, scratches the bottom of the heart, and the love is in the wine, especially the unspeakable old past, and when the wine is drunk, it is even more felt.

Both of them were drunk, but the old drunkard was still muttering: "Years and years, bitter people are sad." ”

There is even a joke from Changping: "Your mother's Wang Qi, you are chic, Lao Tzu is hard." ”

It is very similar to the scene when the little general was not famous and the prince did not ascend the throne, and ten years after the Spring and Autumn Period, there were generals and emperors in Western Chu who slept on their feet.

......

To the west of Western Chu is the Western Desert, and to the south of the Southern Tang is South Korea.

About one or two hundred years ago, the representative of the South at that time was still South Korea, and South Korea at that time was also the most romantic of the Seven Kingdoms, and then it gradually fell lonely for various reasons.

In this world, most of them are occupied by turns, and at the head of the tide, there are different people standing in each era, and the most romantic in South Korea is none other than the first army of South Korea in the heyday of the past - Xiandeng.

"I will go first in the difficult city, and I will win the difficult game first. ”

First to win, these four words have probably been forgotten, even in the Spring and Autumn War more than ten years ago, this army has never appeared, just let those actors called the National Protector Army dance, causing the old people to sigh from time to time, if the first is still there, how can there be a loss of face for his National Protector Army.

On the South Korean border, Tian Shijie sits with the descendants of eight sergeants of the first rank, who have been brothers of the opposite sex for more than a decade.

The first army was originally the private army of the Tian family, and later Tian Shijie's grandfather, due to the restructuring of South Korea, confronted the emperor in the court, and was demoted to a civilian under the anger of Long Yan, so the Tian family was disheartened and retired to the rivers and lakes.

At this time, Tian Shijie was sitting in front of everyone, the autumn wind was blowing, and everyone looked at Tian Shijie, staring at each other with big eyes.

"Lao Ma, as you know, my Tian family was loyal to the martyrs before, and they were all generals in the Xiandeng Army, all of whom were pioneers, and they must go forward in battle, and they were never afraid. Tian Shijie's voice was worried, as if he didn't know how to organize the language, and he stopped talking.

"Liu'er, we are frustrated with the Lu family, why bother to go back to the court to suffer that bird's anger, we put our heads on the belt of our trousers to guard the country for the emperor of the dog day, did he remember us? Even if it was the battle more than ten years ago, all kinds of miscellaneous armies jumped up and down under the guise of a national protectorate, and he thought he was proud? Although there are still those who remember the glory of the past, they have been forcibly supporting the field of the Xiandeng army, but the deeds of those ancestors, how can we forget it?" a man nicknamed One-Eyed said to Tian Shijie, they came here for nothing else, just to prevent Tian Shijie from entering Tianjing and re-being named General Xiandeng.

If it weren't for the fact that someone in the court had a keen sense of smell and felt that Zhao Chunqiu had ascended the throne, there was another hidden situation in Li Gongyang's death, and there was a premonition that the Southern Tang Dynasty was going to mess with the world again, and the Protector Army would not be able to protect the country as it was back then.

"Second brother, the one surnamed Lu sitting in Tianjing City is indeed not worthy of letting us guard the country for him, and even I dare to say that there are some people among the people of Nali who wish that the boy who changed his name to Zhao Chunqiu in the Southern Tang Dynasty personally led the troops to sit in Tianjing City to make them not worry. But I'm sure that there will be a war for the destruction of the country in South Korea, and I must let the world remember that I ascended first, and I ascended first There was a sentence that was remembered in everyone's heart, the country died, and I died first. Tian Shijie's eyes fluttered, as if he remembered what his father had said to him before he died: "My Han family, I can be sorry for the emperor when he is ridiculous, I can raise a knife to quell the rebellion when the people are everywhere, and I can ignore the praise or disparagement given to us by the rest of the countries, I have not been an official in the court for so many years, and I have no resentment, but my Han family, I can't be sorry for the banner that came first, and I can't be sorry for the ancestors who are now the soul of the army." ”

Tian Shijie got up and didn't mention the weapons hanging on the wall, he still remembered the ridiculous things that they did ten years ago when these rabbit cubs carried the elders of the family on the wall of the White Tiger Pass, and he thought he was worthy of the heart of the army first, but he later learned that the heart of the army was not like this, and the soul of the army was not so simple.

Riding a horse, Tian Shijie looked at the boundary further south, looked at the Tianjing City, and unconsciously clenched the reins of the horse in his hand. At this time, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind his ears, Tian Shijie did not look back, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Liu'er, from today onwards, we will change our name to the general, even if the country dies, those eight lambs of the king will not be able to die before we ascend first. Among these righteous brothers, Wu Xiao, the eldest in line, chewed the tobacco in his mouth and looked at Tian Shijie with a smile.

Tian Shijie laughed, raised the horsewhip, and nine people walked together, going to Tianjing, there are still national soldiers in South Korea, and there are still people who dare to die. Today, when the Korean soldiers re-enter the court, the private troops from all over the country will gather together again and form a military flag hung high, which is called "Xiandeng."

......

The old drunkard was wearing a court dress that he hadn't worn for a long time, the West Chu Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and there was a golden dragon on the court uniform, and the old drunkard stood outside the Qiankun Hall with his sleeves folded, with his back to the Qiankun Palace, and the golden dragon on his back was hideous, lifelike.

In the hall, there are Zhou Zhuang, the famous minister of Great Chu, Chen Tang, the famous general of Great Chu, the old emperor Changping, and many courtiers, who jointly arched their hands outside the hall: "Farewell to the old general." At this time, a bell was ringing outside Jianzhou, the capital of Chu State, resounding throughout Jianzhou, magnificent and lengthy, and gradually calming people's hearts.

In the midst of the bells, the old drunkard's laughter was heard, and the one hundred and eight steps, he walked down slowly, with tears in his eyes, tears of shame and relief.

I am ashamed that there will be a war in the country, and I can't fight in front of the country, and I am glad that there are still famous men and famous generals in Dachu, and there is still that peerless romance, how could there be only that many years ago in the Western Chu Concubine? This Manchu Dynasty civil and military is all peerless romance, and Western Chu is very fortunate.

Changping saw far away at a glance, far enough that the old drunkard walked out of the palace gate, and there was no old drunkard in the middle of the dragon and phoenix pillars on both sides of the steps, and then sat down on the dragon chair, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said: "I Xichu, relying on all Aiqing, poured out the romance, he has a new master in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and there are still famous people in my Xichu." The tone was firm and powerful, as if he had returned to the time when he was not angry and self-assured.

Zhou Zhuang and Chen Tang glanced at each other, there were sparks in their eyes, there were sparks about the imminent war, but what Chen Tang was secretly thinking in his heart, and there was a little guy who used to hold a book in his room, with a smile on his face.

The ministers bowed their hands and said, "Long live my emperor." ”

The old emperor got up, got up and stood, at this time his eyes were sharp, straight to the south, there was Tang in the south, and Tang had Spring and Autumn.
