Chapter Twenty-Eight: Like the Moonlight Tonight
"How do I know this?" Jiang Lili pouted, "I have nothing to do, I know how long a Korean monarch has been in power, what is he doing?
Saying that, Jiang Lili looked at Wu Zhou, "Don't you know?
"How do I know that? I've been dead for hundreds of years. Wu Zhou shrugged, "Besides, I'm bored to know how long a monarch has reigned and what to do? If it's the previous Liang Kingdom, I'm still interested in knowing a thing or two, but I'm not Korean." ”
"Liang Guo?" Jiang Lili became interested, "I forgot that you are from Liang Guo, what kind of country is this Liang country, and what does it have to do with Hou Liang?"
"Later Liang, it was originally the Liang State, and it was a new Liang State built again by a group of ministers after the fall of the Liang Kingdom. It's just that because of the forced relocation of the capital, although it is still the Liang State, it should also be called Houliang. Wu Zhou replied: "I have been dead for hundreds of years, and in fact, I don't know how the Liang Kingdom was destroyed in the first place. These things are all told to me by my family when they have nothing to do, so you can just listen to it as a joke, and it can be regarded as a long insight. ”
"Yo, so open-minded?" Jiang Lili pretended to be surprised: "Why didn't I see you so open-minded when I asked Wang Shan to play your steel?
Wu Zhou's face darkened, "Can you mention this matter less?"
Jiang Lili smiled, and suddenly said: "Eh, to be honest, you don't know, when I was crossing the Black Mountain Ridge with Cheng Zhaohua, I met a girl, and Cheng Ru said that she was the princess of Houliang." ”
Wu Zhou's expression changed slightly.
Jiang Lili looked at Wu Zhou teasingly, "I get angry when I look at that girl, and that girl is afraid that I will be half a catty or eight taels when I look at me." Maybe you can meet that girl when you go to Tianfu this time, do you want me to call Cheng Ru to introduce you two to you, so that you can meet the princess of the dynasty in Houliang?"
Wu Zhou was stunned and sighed, "I've been dead for so long, and the things in this world have nothing to do with me." Besides, the Liang State has been destroyed, and the Liang State is no longer the original Liang State, so what else can I see? ”
Suddenly, Wu Zhou asked, "Why are you so kind today?"
"Am I kind?" Jiang Lili sneered: "I just want you to scare that girl, and when I think of that girl's panicked appearance after seeing you, I feel happy." ”
Wu Zhou had a headache and didn't want to discuss more on this topic, "Don't talk about that, let's talk about the time when the Korean monarch has really reigned." ”
"You'll know if you're talking? Don't you want someone to ask?"
"Whom do you ask?"
"You stupid, now that we're in South Korea, can you just find a Korean and ask if you don't know?" Jiang Lili replied.
"No need to ask, no need to ask! I know, I know!" A voice came from the night, and following the voice, I saw Cheng Ru running over panting, with a smug face, "I know this!"
Jiang Lili didn't ask about it at this time, stared at Cheng Ru and said, "Why did you call Huazi and come here?"
Cheng Ru replied: "Don't you know, after you left, I heard the howl of the wolf, alas, it scared me! You see that I am born with such fine skin and tender flesh, and the wolf is not allowed to target me? ”
Jiang Lili took a deep breath, "What about the carriage? Didn't I tell you to watch the carriage?"
"Carriage, carriage?" Cheng Ru said stupidly: "The matter is urgent, and I forgot it in a hurry." ”
"Forgot?" Jiang Lili really wanted to smash his fist on Cheng Ruye's face, "You."
You have a face! Let me tell you, if the carriage is stolen, I will ride you as a horse!"
Cheng Ru muttered: "Where are the thieves at this time? It's almost midnight, even if there are robbers, he has to sleep, right?"
"Heh, I've never seen a robber sleep in the middle of the night!"
"Okay, okay," Wu Zhou said, "Anyway, there's nothing to see here, let's go back first." Even if there are robbers who can't get the carriage away for a while, we can catch up. ”
Cheng Ru nodded and was a little curious, "Don't you want to see it, or do you find the result?" Is this the place you came to in the first place?"
Wu Zhou nodded, "That's right, it's just that at this time, the ghost city has changed its position with the movement of that yin cave, and it should already be in Tianfu at this time, but I don't know where it is located in Tianfu." ”
While walking back, Wu Zhou turned his head to look at Cheng Ru and asked, "Just now, you said that you know the time of the reign of the Korean monarch?"
Speaking of this, Cheng Ru puffed up his chest, and he cleared his throat, "If you want to talk about this Korean monarch, then let's start with the northern border of Jingzhou for thousands of years... ”
"Speak well!" Jiang Lili snorted.
"Five years." ”
"Five years?" Wu Zhou frowned, "You're not mistaken. ”
"How can I remember this?" Cheng Ru said: "The current Korean monarch succeeded to the throne five years ago, roughly in his fifties, and he succeeded to the throne after the accidental death of the last Korean monarch Han Renzong." What, what's wrong?"
"There's something wrong ... Wu Zhou said: "Now the Great Sui Emperor has been on the throne for seventy or eighty years, and the crown prince is already seventy or eighty years old. Because the emperor has the blessing of national fortune, all kinds of holy medicines are indispensable in ordinary times, so even if he doesn't cultivate, he can live at least two or three hundred years old. Now the Great Sui Emperor can reign for at least a hundred years. By the time the crown prince succeeds to the throne, the crown prince should also be more than 100 years old. By analogy, why is it that the Korean monarch is in his fifties when he succeeds to the throne?"
Cheng Ru disagreed, "Didn't we just say it? The last monarch of South Korea died unexpectedly!
Wu Zhou was dumbfounded, how could he hear that there were indeed not many problems with what Cheng said, but he always felt that this matter was not so ordinary in his heart, so he asked again: "But the monarch has the blessing of the national fortune, and he lives in a simple place, and there are a lot of imperial doctors who strictly examine him, where can he die early?"
"You're sick!" Cheng Ru was a little impatient, "Didn't I say it? It was an accidental death! Accidental death! Do you know what the word accidental death means?"
Wu Zhou didn't ask any more, but silently wrote down a note for Cheng Ru in his heart, thinking that with this attitude, next time Lao Tzu must scare his soul out!
Cheng Ru breathed a sigh of relief that the carriage was indeed still there, but there was an extra figure on the fire next to the carriage.
Cheng Ru was startled, he pointed to the figure and said to Jiang Lili tremblingly: "Jiang Lili, look, that person is not a ghost, right?"
"I think you're a ghost, right, when you see someone, you say it's a ghost?" Jiang Lili sneered and beckoned to Wu Zhou, who turned into a puff of green smoke and returned to the ghost bag.
That's not how the idiom is used. Cheng Ru muttered in a low voice, and when she looked up, she saw that Jiang Lili had already walked quite far, and hurriedly trotted to follow, "Hey, wait for me." ”
Cheng Ru's voice was a little loud, and the man sitting next to the fire heard the sound and turned around
At the head, a young man who appeared to be in his twenties, he said, "Hello, is this carriage yours?"
Jiang Lili didn't say a word, walked to the place ten steps away from the man and stood still, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
The man was stunned, and after realizing what Jiang Lili was thinking, he smiled and explained: "My surname is Lu, my name is Zeren, and I am from Chen Guo. I didn't have any malice, but I didn't know who took the package on my body after sleeping in the wild a few days ago, and I didn't have money to stay in the inn, so I had to continue to sleep in the wilderness. Fang just saw that there was a light here, so he came over to say hello, but he didn't expect that there was no one here. He will take your campfire to keep warm, and he has no intention of disturbing him. ”
After hearing this, Cheng Ru smiled, "I was startled just now, I thought there was a ghost, but it turned out to be a false alarm." Eh, by the way, you said that your package was taken away? Then you must not have eaten, I have some grain here, all of which are coarse grains, I don't know if it suits your taste, so I can eat some at will, and it is good to fill my stomach. I'll go get it for you. ”
When he was walking towards the carriage, he was stopped by Jiang Lili, and when he was wondering, he heard Jiang Lili sneer, "You said that you have no malice, you have no malice?" I said that I am the emperor, Lao Tzu asked you to kneel for me, do you believe it?"
Lu Zeren was stunned, and smiled helplessly, "I really have no malice, it's just... ”
"Don't talk nonsense," Jiang Lili interrupted Lu Zeren's words impatiently, and asked again: "Are you from Chen Guoren?"
Lu Zeren was stunned and frowned slightly, it seemed that Jiang Lili's question was extremely difficult to answer.
Jiang Lili snorted coldly: "What's the matter?"
Cheng Ru persuaded: "Jiang Lili, don't be so profound, maybe people have a secret in their hearts, don't they? Now you know what Chen Guo looks like, maybe people just come to South Korea to ask for a bite to eat." It's just that it's not shameful to say this kind of thing, so it's not easy to say. ”
"Joke! Now the ghosts in South Korea know that the little two in the land of Beiming know that this Chen Guoren did not go to the prosperous Houliang in front of him to seek a way to survive, but traveled thousands of miles through the treacherous Black Mountain Ridge to the ghostly and wanton South Korea to beg for food, do you believe this?"
Cheng Ru also had a little more doubt in his heart when he heard Jiang Lili's words, and when he turned his head to look at Lu Zeren, his eyes were also a little wrong.
Lu Zeren sighed and saluted Jiang Lili and Cheng Ru with his fists, "The concerns of the two sons are indeed reasonable, but the purpose of the contemptible people is really not easy to explain to the two of them, but I am also abrupt, so the contemptible people will leave, and they dare not disturb the two of them again." ”
Turning around, Lu Zeren slowly walked towards the depths of the night.
Alone, alone.
Cheng Ru was a little unbearable at this time, and persuaded: "Jiang Lili, I think that person is quite pitiful, why don't you leave him here to sleep for one night?"
"Pathetic?" Jiang Lili smiled, "What's so pitiful about this? It's nothing more than sleeping in the open, a young man with hands and feet sleeping in the wilderness, you say he is pitiful? You really have a bodhisattva's heart, didn't you also sleep on the street when you were a beggar? Does someone pity you? In the end, didn't I give you a chicken bone to eat?"
Cheng Ru's face turned red suddenly, "Jiang Lili, you have nothing to do with these things, you always take it out and say about the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon, it's fun, isn't it? It's extremely rude!"
Saying that, Cheng Ru laughed out loud, and Jiang Lili also laughed.
Two young men of about the same age sat by the fire and laughed incessantly, like the moonlight tonight.
