Chapter 90: Three Inches of Light (Part II)
The wind and rain are like obscurity, and the sky will be dark, only the fire in front of the mausoleum flickering and reflecting the pine and cypress of the forest.
Ji Tianquan and Ji Chengche knelt in front of Princess Lingxi's tomb and threw pieces of yellow paper into the brazier.
Ji Chengying raised an umbrella next to him to shield the rain from extinguishing the flames.
After all, Ji Tianquan did not let go of the obsidian wreath of unknown origin, and threw it into the brazier and burned it repeatedly until it turned into ashes.
The faint fragrance of obsidian flowers permeated the humid air, mixed with the scent of incense and candles, drifting away in the wind.
"The first time I saw your mother, it was about twenty-eight years ago, when Lingxi was only a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, her long purple hair was carefully braided at the back of her head and fell to her waist, and she was wearing a lilac flowing color dark flower cloud brocade palace dress, and walked out of the carriage. ”
Ji Tianquan put a piece of yellow paper into the brazier, watching it slowly be engulfed by the flames, the light of the fire flickered and dimmed, and his voice also rose and fell in the rain.
"That year, I had just started the army, and I had only three or five thousand brothers under my command, and I was driven around by the Qin army outside the pass, and I couldn't find a place to stay. In order to reverse the situation, after discussing with Zhao Yishan, Yan Qingwei, Lin Zongtang and others, I decided to make a desperate attempt to attack Yunmen Pass and open the entrance gate. ”
"In order to investigate the deployment of the Qin army in Yunmen Pass, Lin Zongtang and Qiao Zhuang became refugees, mixed in the crowd going south, and planned to sneak into the pass, but who knew that we met a rogue in the middle of the road. ”
Ji Tianquan said with a calm face: "I remember that the head of the Liukou seems to be called Liang Xiong, and there are more than 200 soldiers under his hands, and it is very rampant to rob houses outside the gate. Lao Tzu once wanted to take someone to kill him, but this guy's whereabouts are uncertain and cunning, and he can't catch anyone. ”
Ji Chengche said: "This is also a nowhere to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, but this time I actually let Lao Tzu run into it." ”
But at that time, there were only two people around Lao Tzu plus Lin Zongtang, but Liang Xiong had more than 200 brothers. Although there are many refugees, they are all old and weak, women and children, and they are not useful at all. ”
Ji Tianquan said with a smile: "Fortunately, Liang Xiong didn't come to Lao Tzu, the thief didn't know where he got the letter, saying that there were family members of the nobles of the Qin State mixed in the refugee team, so he brought people to fight the autumn wind." ”
Ji Chengche woke up and asked, "But what do you mean by my mother?"
Ji Tianquan bowed his head and said: "Isn't it her?" that Liang Xiong took his shrimp soldiers and crabs to kill a back and forth in the refugee team, and went straight to Lingxi's carriage, and immediately surrounded them. There were only a few disguised guards beside Lingxi, guarding the carriage and preventing Liang Xiong from approaching. ”
"At this time, I saw Lingxi get out of the carriage, and it was only a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old who had no fear on her face, and glanced at Liang Xiong lightly and said, 'I'll let you strike first. Liang Xiong laughed: "If you lose, you will be the wife of this king!"
Ji Tianquan glanced at the tombstone as he spoke, and said slowly: "Lingxi didn't say much, and sneered: 'Whatever you do, it's up to you.'" At that moment, the son of a bitch stretched out her paw and grabbed your mother's chest, but she dodged and dodged. The two of you fought back and forth for more than 20 times, but Liang Xiong never touched the corner of Lingxi's clothes, but was almost knocked to the ground by your mother several times. At that time, I thought that although this girl was a demon, she was very good. ”
Ji Chengche smiled and said, "It turns out that you were secretly interested in my mother at that time. ”
"It's true that your mother was a beautiful embryo at that time, but at that time, Lao Tzu was just thinking about it, how do you know what will happen later? About forty rounds, Lingxi grabbed Liang Xiong and drew his sword to his neck. Liang Xiong saw that he couldn't beat him, so he begged for mercy: "Miss spare my life, I will take my brothers away." ’”
"Your mother is young and inexperienced, and she actually believed Liang Xiong's words and accepted the Longyang Divine Sword. As soon as Liang Xiong escaped, he beckoned his subordinates: "Catch Lao Tzu alive!" More than 200 desperate guys rushed up. ”
Ji Chengying asked, "Can my mother's guards stop it?"
Ji Tianquan smiled and rubbed his hands and said: "If you can stop it, what is the matter with Lao Tzu?" Although the cultivation of those guards is not bad, it is difficult to beat four hands with two fists, and the heroes can't stand the crowd, and they will be injured in a short time. Lao Tzu didn't think much about it when he saw that your mother was going to suffer, he pulled out the hidden blade and rushed up to fight with the group of bitches, Lin Zongtang had no choice but to follow when he saw me doing it. Liang Xiong was caught off guard, and was rescued by us, and the spirit rhino was killed, and a bloody way escaped from the encirclement. ”
Ji Chengche pouted when he heard this: "You, Lord Lin, and my mother-in-law can't even beat a group of horse thieves, is it a shame to say it?"
"You kid knows a fart!"
Ji Tianquan scolded with a smile: "It was more than 30 years ago, Lao Tzu's cultivation had just passed the realm of splitting mountains and opening the mansion, Lao Lin and I were half a catty and eight taels, your mother's cultivation was even worse, how could you stand more than 200 people's swords, guns, crossbows and arrows to slash their heads and face and greet them, shameful? If you don't lose your life, you can't do that stupid thing!"
Ji Chengche laughed in his heart. It turned out that his father and mother had also been so young and embarrassed. It was interesting to be chased and killed by horse thieves and flee for their lives! They must have experienced that kind of time together, so they had the later hand-in-hand. It's good to have this thing.
Liang Xiong refused to give up and led people to chase after him, so Lao Tzu had to lead them around the gate. After chasing and tossing for four or five days, the three of us were injured, and we also killed a lot of Liang Xiong's shrimp soldiers and crab generals, but in the end, we were still blocked in a valley by that guy. ”
I only heard Ji Tianquan continue: "The three of us used all kinds of means to desperately defend the valley mouth, not letting Liang Xiong rush in, and we were exhausted and injured all night long. Lingxi's injured eyes were about to be unable to hold on, so Lao Tzu tied her behind him with a heart, intending to desperately break through and let go. ”
Ji Chengche listened intently without moving, as if he saw the scene where his parents were blood-stained and worked together to resist the enemy, and silently experienced the despair and stubbornness when they were in a desperate situation.
At this moment, a Qin army suddenly appeared, although there were only more than a thousand people, but the leader was Feng Qiushuang, the capital of Yanzhou. Grandma's, the Qin army at that time was really elite and invincible, and they killed a dry horse thief like chopping melons and vegetables, and the blood flowed into a river and there was no armor left. Lao Tzu saw that the situation was not good, so he wanted to slip away...... Well, the hero doesn't want to repay his kindness, and the other party is a little girl from the demon clan?"
Ji Tianquan laughed as he spoke, and continued: "Who knew that Feng Qiushuang would kowtow when he saw Lingxi kneeling, and Lao Tzu knew that it was the princess of Daqin who dared to save himself." Grandma's, this thing is making trouble - Lao Tzu was originally a person who pulled the flag and rebelled, but he somehow saved the person he wanted to rebel against, what kind of thing is this?"
Ji Chengche asked, "What about later?"
Later, Feng Qiushuang was grateful to Lao Tzu, and dragged us to Yunmen Pass to recuperate. Of course, Lin Zongtang and I had to and were embarrassed to refuse, so we entered Yunmen Pass and became the guests of the Qin army, and took the opportunity to get a lot of information about the Qin army. ”
"Lingxi often came to chat with me while recuperating from his injuries, which meant that he persuaded me to join the Qin army, and why didn't he take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures...... Hehe, fifty states, Lao Tzu wants more than fifty states! In this way, we stayed in Yunmen Pass for almost a month, and after she recovered from her injuries, she was personally escorted by Feng Qiushuang to return to Tiandu City. She invited Lao Tzu to go to Tiandu City together, and I could only excuse myself and say that there was something at home. ”
Ji Chengche put a piece of yellow paper into the brazier, looked at the black smoke rising up, and asked, "You broke up like this?"
"Yes, do you think Lao Tzu should follow her to Tiandu City and bother to get a horse master to do it?"
"On the day of the breakup, Lingxi personally sent us out of the city, all the way out of thirty miles. When she was over, she suddenly said to me, 'Brother Ji, I have a bad feeling that maybe we will become enemies when we meet next time. 'How did Lao Tzu know if she saw something, so he could only sloppily and say, 'You are so beautiful, where am I willing to be your enemy?'"
Ji Chengche and Ji Chengying quietly exchanged glances and smiled, but they didn't expect that a rough man like Ji Tianquan would also use clever words to please girls.
Ji Tianquan saw his two sons blatantly squeezing their eyebrows in front of them and making small movements, and glared: "Why are you both thinking that Lao Tzu is a piece of wood?" Although Lingxi is only twelve or thirteen years old, she is also an out-and-out little beauty, known as the first beauty in Daqin. Well, that is, Lao Tzu, who is determined to be unwilling, if he is someone else, how can he care about a group of rebellious brothers, and he went to Tiandu City to be a concubine and be happy. ”
Ji Chengche smiled: "You have been married to the queen mother for many years at that time, right?"
"yes, it's been almost ten years. Zizhi is a good woman, and she has suffered a lot with Lao Tzu, and she is not less frightened. You don't know that before the clarification, she was pregnant with a baby, but she ran around and didn't save it. Father...... I owe her!"
Ji Tianquan casually plucked a piece of grass and chewed it slowly in his mouth, sighed and said, "Let's talk about the spirit rhino." When she heard my words, she smiled and said, "Brother Ji, even if you become my enemy in the future, I will let you go today." 'Damn, Lao Tzu was frightened when he heard this, and he wanted to ...... Hehe, if it weren't for Lin Zongtang next to him who made people hate the old cough, I would have snatched the spirit rhino home. ”
Ji Chengche couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that Liang Xiong thought so at first. ”
"Nonsense!" Ji Tianquan raised his hand and slapped his son on the back of the head, and said angrily: "That son of a son of a bitch, can you compare with me?
He stood up and looked down from the mountain, where the majestic and prosperous Tiandu City was bathed in smoke and rain.
In the distance, the green mountains are faintly sweaty, and the land is vast and picturesque.
"Lingxi, have you seen it-" Ji Tianquan's eyes lit up and looked down at the four fields, and said: "This is Lao Tzu's city, Lao Tzu's country, Lao Tzu's world!"
Ji Chengche sent the last piece of yellow paper into the brazier, stood side by side with Ji Tianquan and looked at the mountains and rivers of Dahan, and said softly: "This is our city, our country, and our world." ”
Ji Chengying stood behind his father and brother with an umbrella, and a warm smile like a spring breeze escaped from the corner of his lips and said: "I suddenly feel that the picturesque rivers and mountains are all under my feet." ”
Ji Tianquan opened his arms and hugged his two sons, one left and one right, laughing and proud.
Ji Chengche smiled silently, silently looking at Qinchuan and Hanshui, the rain and fog were misty, and the lights of thousands of homes were as bright as stars, I don't know how many people lived for it, lived for it, and died for it.
The former Jin Ge Iron Horse has rumbled away, just like the spring thunder in the night sky.
It's just that in this vast land, who is the lord of ups and downs?
The father and son stood on top of the high hill, smiling and watching the wind surge. (83 Chinese Net.)
