Chapter 27: Those Years, Those Things

A story always needs to be told by someone to be a story!

And the story told must be listened to by someone to be considered a good story.

On top of the nine-story tower, Concubine Yu, the great grandmaster, looked at Bai Sheng as if he had fallen into a memory.

"You are very similar to your master. ”

Bai Sheng was shocked, with a puzzled expression, he looked at Concubine Yu and asked, "Senior knows my master?"

Concubine Yu smiled and said, "If I, the master, can't recognize my disciple, is it still a master?"

Bai Sheng's mouth was open, and he couldn't close it for a while, and even Liu Xi'er beside him was surprised, looking at Bai Sheng and then at Concubine Yu, he didn't know that there was such a relationship between the two.

"Bai Sheng visited his ancestor. ”

Bai Sheng knelt on the ground in a panic and made a big salute to Concubine Yu, his master is also like his biological father, he has the grace of recreation, and the master's master should be a big gift for him.

"Good boy, get up, I am full of joy when I hear this voice, I have been forgetting your master for many years. Concubine Yu sighed.

It should be more than 40 years after calculating the time, at that time the Warring States Rebellion had just begun, and the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time was still one of the six great powers on this land.

At that time, the "victorious" prince had only been born for two or three years, and the Holy Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was happy to have a dragon son, as if the heavens were sending auspicious signs, implying that the Great Zhou Empire would win this war.

It was also at that time that she carried the guqin on her back, stepped out of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and walked around to find her path to the great master.

"Do you want to hear the story?" asked Concubine Yu.

Bai Sheng and Liu Xi'er nodded at the same time, they knew that Concubine Yu would definitely tell Bai Sheng about his master.

Concubine Yu smiled and said slowly: "When people are old, they always like to recall some things in the past, this can be regarded as a kind ......of disease!

At that time, the rivers and lakes were not like they are now, the heroes were bright, and geniuses appeared as if they didn't want money.

Zhao Wouji, the spear immortal who occupied the first place in the land list for decades, was followed by the great kendo master of the Jin Kingdom and Concubine Yu of the Eastern Han Kingdom who founded the Changle Mansion.

At that time, these three people were like Wu Qi today, stepping on the shoulders of their peers, standing at the peak of the rivers and lakes, and seeing the mountains and mountains.

Fifty years ago, the rivers and lakes were like this, the rivers and lakes of three people, the hermit realm of three people, and the story of three people.

......

"Well, at the beginning of this war, it was us ordinary people who suffered, and no matter who won or lost, it was us who suffered. ”

At the beginning of the War of the Six Nations, countries recruited adult men to join the army on a large scale, and those who had dreams thought that their opportunity had come, and in order to fight for the glory and wealth of the future, they left behind the two elders of the family, their wives and children, and walked on this road of fighting for tomorrow with their lives.

War means death, no one dares to say that they can not die, only a year of fighting, the Great Zhou has already died tens of thousands of people on the battlefield, horse leather shroud.

In a corner of the teahouse, a woman in a green robe with a wooden box on her back was drinking a pot of wine, listening to the guests around her tell about the damage caused by the war, and couldn't help but feel that the wine was very bitter.

"Well, how do they know about the people's suffering?" the woman sighed, took the last sip of her wine, put down her glass, and got up to leave.

Someone suddenly saw the back of the woman in the green robe carrying the wooden box, as if he had seen it somewhere for a while, and when the woman had disappeared from sight, he suddenly exclaimed.

"Wasn't that person Concubine Qin just now?"

"Where?"

The woman who had just sat there drinking.

"You can't be mistaken, right?

Someone didn't believe the man's words, and looked at the man like a fool and asked.

In the end, the man had no choice but to do it, but the concubine Qin in that person's mouth was wandering around the Great Zhou Imperial City at the moment.

Because the "victorious" prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty turned three years old in a row, he put up lanterns everywhere to celebrate, and the Great Zhou won a big victory on the battlefield with the Jin Kingdom, and the Holy Emperor was even more fond of his little prince.

Concubine Yu shook it, looking at the people selling sugar gourds on the street, and couldn't help but rejoice in her heart.

"Boss, come on two strings. ”

Concubine Yu was holding a string of sugar gourds in one hand, and was about to bite into it, but she couldn't help but think that if her two friends knew that a hermit master was actually eating something that only children eat, I was afraid that she would laugh at it again.

"It just so happens that they don't know, I can eat as much as I want. ”

Concubine Yu smiled and took a bite of a mountain plant fruit that had been covered with sugar, which was crunchy and sweet in the sour, and her lips and teeth were fragrant, so comfortable.

While eating and walking, looking at the exotic customs of the Great Zhou Kingdom, with sugar gourds, as if leaving all the troubles behind, at this moment she is no longer the concubine Qin admired by everyone on the rivers and lakes, but an ordinary woman.

"Woo woo......".

At this time, a cry came from the side, and Concubine Yu turned her head to see a three-year-old child sitting on the side of the street, with a helpless face and a look of panic, crying.

I don't know whose child was so careless and left him behind.

"Do you want to eat?"

Concubine Yu walked up to the child, squatted down, and handed the rock sugar gourd to the child.

When the child heard someone talking to him, he couldn't help but look up, and saw a woman with a sweet smile, handing him a string of things he had never seen before, as if it were called a sugar gourd.

It's just that the child seems to be a little afraid of the woman, and although he is no longer crying, he doesn't dare to pick it up.

"Delicious. ”

Concubine Yu couldn't help but smile when she saw the child's appearance that she wanted to take it but didn't dare to take it, and handed the sugar gourd closer again, and then the child timidly stretched out her little hand and took the string of sugar gourds.

just looked at the sugar gourd but couldn't say anything, and looked at Concubine Yu helplessly.

Concubine Yu went to the child's side, opened her mouth and bit down a mountain plant fruit, the child saw and learned from the other party's appearance, opened her mouth and bit it, but the mountain fruit was too big, she couldn't wrap it in one bite, but she made a mouth full of sugar.

Concubine Yu couldn't help but smile when she saw it, and said softly: "Bite little by little." ”

The child nodded, took a small bite, and the little face, which was originally scared and panicked, actually laughed after eating the rock sugar gourd.

"It's delicious. The child ate the sugar gourd and said indistinctly.

"Of course it's delicious, it's my sister's favorite food. Concubine Yu said proudly, as if she was even more proud than she became the top three in the rivers and lakes that day.

"By the way, what's your name, why are you here alone. Concubine Yu saw that the child was no longer afraid, so she asked.

"My name is Zhou Desheng, I went out to play with Eniang today, and I accidentally got lost. "Children don't express themselves as clearly as adults, but they can tell the general meaning.

"Zhou Desheng?" Concubine Yu knew who the little guy in front of her was when she heard it, it turned out that he was the little prince of the Great Zhou Holy Emperor.

"Zhou Desheng, what an ugly name. ”

When Zhou Desheng heard this, his little face was a little flustered, and he hurriedly said: "This is taken by my father, my sister can't be counted, she will be killed." ”

"This kid still cares about himself." Concubine Yu couldn't help laughing, and then said playfully: "Then sister doesn't say it, it's just that my sister doesn't like this name, why don't you give you a new one?"

Zhou Desheng, the little prince, thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed, it can also be said that he himself thinks his name is very unpleasant, but he doesn't dare to say it explicitly.

Concubine Yu looked at Zhou Desheng and thought for a moment, before she said: "Seeing that you look so handsome, just like a girl, I will give you a single word, for Xiu, and you will be called Zhou Xiu in the future." ”

"Zhou Xiu. Zhou Desheng thought about it and thought it didn't sound very good, but it sounded better than what his father had taken, and after adding that this sister gave him a string of such delicious sugar gourds, Zhou Desheng nodded and agreed.

Concubine Yu smiled secretly, happy that her treacherous plan had succeeded, so she chatted with Zhou Xiu, the prince was missing, and with the power of the royal family, he should be found soon.

Just after Zhou Xiu's string of sugar gourds was eaten, the people of the Great Zhou Kingdom finally found him, only to see a woman dressed like a concubine, with tears on her face, followed by a large number of people running here.

"The Queen Mother. ”

Zhou Xiu saw that his queen mother finally found him, and immediately stood up, just about to run over, but stopped his figure, turned to bow to Concubine Yu and said, "Victory... Zhou Xiu thanked her sister for the sugar gourd. ”

"Go ahead!"

"Yes"

At this time, Zhou Xiucai turned around and ran towards his mother, and after coming to his mother's arms, he began to cry.

"I actually dared to kidnap the prince, and someone came to arrest me and put him in prison. ”

At this time, a man dressed in armor stomach saw Concubine Yu who was still sitting on the side of the road, his face turned dark, and he immediately said loudly, a group of people immediately besieged Concubine Yu, and just as he was about to make a move, Zhou Xiu broke free from his mother's arms and said loudly.

"Don't touch my sister. ”

After speaking, he whispered to his mother what had just happened.

"Stand back".

Hearing her emperor's words, the concubine knew that the woman in front of her was her emperor's savior, and hurriedly asked everyone to step back and step forward.

"Thank you, girl, for your kindness. ”

Concubine Yu sat on the ground, without any awe because of the other party's identity, just looked at Zhou Xiu with a smile and said, "It's okay, I love this kid very much."

When this concubine saw that the other party knew that her identity was so disrespectful, she couldn't help but turn pale, just seeing that the other party had saved her emperor, she planned not to pursue it, but she just wanted to speak, but was preempted by the general next to her.

"Bold, when I saw Concubine Jing, I didn't kneel down and salute. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Yu looked up at the general, her eyes gradually becoming cold.

"Roll"

The next moment, like a lightning strike, the general flew out upside down in an instant and fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, not knowing life and death.

The faces of all the sergeants changed drastically, and they were all ready to fight, and that Wei Jing Guifei saw that the woman only spit out a word, so that a general was seriously injured and did not know life and death, this kind of cultivation can not find a few in the world, looking at the other party's dress, as the concubine of a country, I still don't know the identity of the other party, I am afraid that this concubine has done it in vain.

"Senior, but Concubine Qin?"

Jing Guifei found that she was trembling a little when she spoke, but there were really not many people who could maintain a normal heart in the face of this top three master.

Concubine Yu didn't admit or refute, she just beckoned to Zhou Xiu, Zhou Xiu just thought about it, but found that he was hugged very tightly by his mother, and he could feel his mother's body trembling.

Zhou Xiu patted his mother's hand and said, "Mother, my sister is a good person and won't hurt me." ”

When Concubine Jing heard her emperor's words, she slowly let go of her hand, but she was still worried.

"Do you want to play with your sister?" asked Concubine Yu with a smile.

Zhou Xiu wanted to agree immediately, but thinking that his queen mother would disagree, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Concubine Jing and shouted, "Queen mother." ”

At this time, Concubine Jing wanted to say the word "no", but when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't say anything, and finally forced herself to squeeze out a smile and said: "Since my sister likes you, let's go! ”

This sentence has two meanings, the first is to promise, and the second is to tell Concubine Yu that the child in front of her is the prince of the Holy Emperor of the Jin Kingdom.

Concubine Yu just smiled and didn't care at all, and because Zhou Xiu was still young, she knew these things, and she was naturally happy to see her mother agree.

Concubine Yu left with Zhou Xiu without leaving any words, such as when she would send Zhou Xiu back. Concubine Jing saw her child walking away slowly, and couldn't help but sit on the ground, and at this time, the general who was shocked by Concubine Yu's words finally came to his senses, and with the support of his subordinates, he slowly got up, and looked at Concubine Yu who had gone away with palpitations.

"Back to the palace, the palace wants to tell the Holy Emperor about today's events. ”

Concubine Jing took her subordinates and immediately headed towards the palace, met the Holy Emperor of the Jin Kingdom in person, and informed him that Zhou Desheng was taken away by Concubine Yu.

"This is the emperor's chance, there is no need to worry. ”

Hearing the Holy Emperor's words, Concubine Jing was finally relieved, but she was still worried about her child.

"Sister, where are we going?"

Concubine Yu led Zhou Xiu and began to slowly move away from the imperial city, Zhou Xiu looked back at the place where he had been living, and couldn't help but look up at Concubine Yu and asked.

"My sister didn't know, she just wanted to walk around and take a look. Concubine Yu replied.

"Oh" Zhou Xiu responded disappointedly, but the child's attention was easily attracted by other things, looked up at the wooden box behind Concubine Yu, and asked with a curious expression: "Sister, what are you carrying behind you?"

Concubine Yu stopped, squatted down to look at Zhou Xiu and asked, "Do you want to see it?"

Zhou Xiu nodded heavily.

Concubine Yu smiled, took the wooden box behind her to her, and slowly opened it, Zhou Xiu's eyes were wide open, for fear of missing something, until the wooden box was all opened, and Zhou Xiu saw a very beautiful guqin.

The guqin is indeed very beautiful, as if she is a beauty, as beautiful as Concubine Yu.

"Is this a piano?"

Zhou Xiu stretched out her little hand, unable to control herself from touching the guqin, Concubine Yu did not stop the other party, but nodded. When Zhou Xiu's little hand landed on Qin Xuan, before she could pluck Qin Xuan, a piano sound suddenly sounded, which startled Zhou Xiu, and Concubine Yu looked at Zhou Xiu in surprise, and then she smiled.

"Do you like it?"

"Like".

"Want to learn?"

"Think"

"Is it good for my sister to teach you?"

"Good".

"From then on, I will be your master, and you will be my concubine's disciple."

"What is a disciple?"

Zhou Xiu asked suspiciously.

"You'll find out later. ”

Concubine Yu smiled and said.

This pair of masters and apprentices did not practice the rites of master and apprentice, but they had the fate of master and apprentice.

......

"Master, didn't he bow to the master?" After listening to Concubine Yu's story, Bai Sheng couldn't help but ask.

Concubine Yu shook her head and said: "When he was still young, he forgot about it later, but when he grew up, and I left, and the Great Zhou Kingdom was destroyed later, when I couldn't go because of one thing, but later I heard that your master lived, but for so many years, he has disappeared, even if he is out, he has never come to me, I think he doesn't want to trouble me." ”

It's just that she, the great grandmaster, is afraid that her disciples will be involved?

"Then where is my master now?" Bai Sheng suddenly thought of the beheading he had heard, and couldn't help but ask.

"Have you heard the rumors that have been circulating in Tai'an City in the past few days?" asked Concubine Yu.

Bai Sheng nodded, feeling uneasy in his heart.

"The news is true, but it was your stepfather who was caught, and your master's whereabouts are still unknown, and I want to spread this news in order to lure your master out. Concubine Yu guessed.

Bai Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, his master was fine, but he clenched his fists again, and his face was full of sadness when he thought of his father-in-law.

"Child, do what you want to do, and have the master help you. Concubine Yu said, although the words were plain, but they gave Bai Sheng infinite strength.

"I'll help you too, I'll let my grandfather do it. Liu Xi'er on the side also said, no matter which method is used this time, she will not let Bai Sheng face everything alone.

"Yes".

Bai Sheng nodded heavily.

Concubine Yu looked out the window, her eyes didn't know where she fell, and muttered in a low voice that she could only hear: "Xiao Zhouxiu, your master, the great grandmaster, are you still afraid that you will be involved?"

......

Outside Tai'an City, a man dressed in cloth clothes like a poor showman, carrying a wooden box appeared here, he looked at Tai'an City in front of him, his eyes showed a gleam, and then raised his feet and walked towards the city.
