The cold wind was bitter, the snow was falling, and the footprints of people and horses on the ancient road disappeared without a trace in an instant. In the distance, a young man struggled to walk with a lame bad horse and a thin old servant.

"Lao Gao, I always listen to you nagging about the rivers and lakes, what are the rivers and lakes in your eyes?" The young man was in tattered clothes and his hair was unkempt, like a refugee fleeing the famine.

The thin old servant stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "In these years, men need to bring knives when they go out, women need to wear swords when they go out, men pay attention to cultivation, women pay attention to temperament, the so-called rivers and lakes are just a knife and a sword, a pot of turbid wine and a green building." ”

"That's right!" the young man gave a thumbs up, licked his purple lips, and sighed, "If there is a pot of plum wine in this weather, even if I give me two gray chicks, I won't change it." ”

"You'll definitely change one, two...... You don't need it!" Lao Gao glanced at the young man, with some pity.

"Lao Gao, what do you mean by this, do you still want to ride a horse?" The young man jumped like thunder, glanced at the inferior horse beside him, and immediately deflated, where is this guy used to ride, it is difficult for him to walk on his own.

The thin, lame horse seemed to feel the boy's disdainful gaze even more, and squirted a heavy hot breath at the boy, and the smell made the boy almost cry bitterly.

Damn, this guy has bad breath!

The young man glared at the thin horse angrily, and a cold wind blew, and the coarse cloth and tattered clothes were ventilated everywhere, and he shivered from the cold, and he suddenly felt a sense of concern.

This bad horse, which even had some difficulty walking, was bought by the old man at a great price before his exile, and it really cost a lot of money.

However, the old man must have done it on purpose, the horse was not meant to be ridden at all, but to be held back.

The old man who had studied for three days and became a great pillar said: "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds and muscles, so they can't drink wine in a big bowl or eat meat." ”

The young man rolled his eyes, and after reading the books in the Hanlin Academy for three days, the old man learned the first two sentences, and the last two sentences exposed his illiteracy characteristics.

The boy's name is Xiao Xuan, and he is the only son of Xiao Zhan, the Great Pillar State of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the King of Northern Liang.

Xiao Zhan, the king of Northern Liang, was the most brilliant general in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the only vassal king with a different surname in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This is the ultimate of the people and ministers of the different surnames of the vassal king, sitting on 500,000 iron horses, single-handedly disrupted the pattern of the Spring and Autumn Period for three hundred years, he destroyed the Western Shu, Houyan, Northern Han, Northern Wei four kingdoms in one fell swoop, so that the originally weak Northern Zhou quickly dominated, established a strong Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Great Chu Dynasty, the Great Qi Dynasty divided the world, forming a three-legged trend.

"With Xiao Zhan's knowledge, being the king of Northern Liang is still so-so, why did Yuwen Yong let Xiao Zhan be the Great Pillar Country of Nalaosh? Xiao Zhan is really, what is the good of being a Great Pillar Country, and he doesn't give more soldiers and soldiers. When Da Zhuguo is in charge, I have to shoehorn the little fat man of the Yuwen family into me as my daughter-in-law......"

Lao Gao smiled and shook his head, but did not answer, Xiao Zhan and Yu Wenyong, one is the king of Northern Liang who destroyed the power of the Four Kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the other is Emperor Taizong, who single-handedly created the Great Zhou Dynasty, dare to call these two people by name, not to mention the whole world, the entire Great Zhou, I am afraid that there is only His Royal Highness the prince of Northern Liang.

Moreover, the little fat man of Yuwen in the mouth of His Royal Highness the Prince seems to be a talented woman who is famous in Beijing, and her beauty is also impeccable. However, it was the most brilliant princess of the Great Zhou royal family who led to His Royal Highness's five-year and nine-thousand miles of travel.

It is said that he has been driven out of his house by all, except for a lame bad horse and a thin old servant who can be blown down by the wind.

The mink coat was confiscated by the old man before going out, and even a large cake that he grabbed was half snatched back by the old man, the exile of nine thousand miles in the past five years was really miserable to the extreme, and he could live until now, Xiao Xuan had to sigh that his life was really hard.

"Lao Gao, how far is it from Liangzhou?" Xiao Xuan touched the snowflakes that fell on his face and asked in a low voice.

Lao Gao took out a self-made map, studied it carefully for a long time, and said seriously: "There are still about two hundred miles." ”

Xiao Xuan glanced at the map in the old master's hand, this thing can also be called a map, like a ghost drawing, the broken stone stuck in the grass is the first peak in the southwest, Tianzhu Peak?

"Lao Gao, every time I see your wild grass, I probably know why you failed in the imperial examination back then. Xiao Xuan smiled and shook his head, this map estimates that Lao Gao himself looks struggling.

Lao Gao quickly put away the map and sighed: "As the so-called beauty is easy to get, confidants are hard to find, the old man's eclectic calligraphy, ordinary people can't appreciate it, and only the general and the young master in the world today praise it." ”

One is a big man who doesn't know a few big words, and the other is a gentleman who doesn't know how to learn, and he takes these two people as confidants, and Lao Gao is really lacking in heart.

"Lao Gao, do you think we can really return to Beiliang alive?" Xiao Xuan looked up into the distance, the wind and snow were falling, and there seemed to be no end to it.

"It should be possible, if we can't win, we can run!" Lao Gao rolled up his sleeves and grinned, his sparse beard and tattered shirt looked a little silly.

Xiao Xuan glanced at Lao Gao, in the past five years and nine thousand miles of exile, when did he not slip away when he saw that the situation was wrong, it seemed that the thin old servant who could be blown away by a gust of wind was smeared with oil on the soles of his feet, and it was extremely refreshing to escape for his life.

Xiao Zhan, the king of the Northern Liang Dynasty, destroyed the Spring and Autumn Four Kingdoms, broke 3,000 cities, killed millions of enemies, and Li Chunfeng, the big devil of the Spring and Autumn Period who fished the country, gave him the title of "human slaughter".

Xiao Zhan can really be said to have enemies all over the world, and the enemies are all over the world, and Xiao Zhan has many enemies, I'm afraid even he doesn't know it. If Xiao Xuan hadn't been incognito in the past five years, I'm afraid the two of them would have been broken into pieces.

After the Spring and Autumn War, the assassinations against Xiao Zhan and his only son never stopped, and the killers were like moths to a fire, batch after batch.

Thirteen years ago, the princess Chen Lingsu and her young son Xiao Xuan toured the Fallen Horse Pass, the most mysterious Guigu faction, the longitudinal, Lian, and Heng four disciples on the rivers and lakes went out of the mountain, and jointly arranged to intercept and kill Xiao Xuan, the prince of the Northern Liang Dynasty, and the princess of the Fallen Horse Pass accompanied the escort of seventy-two people to die, and the princess did not return to Liangzhou alive, and even the bones were not found, only the young prince survived by luck under the response of the thunderbolt Chen Xuanba.

Langya Mountain, Liangzhou, the mausoleum of the princess of Northern Liang is just a mound of clothes, after the death of the princess, the prince Xiao Xuan often looks at the princess's mound in a daze, sometimes staying for a day.

The somewhat clumsy King of Northern Liang sat behind the prince, leaning against a peach tree, bursting into tears, but tears fell silently. In fact, the old man was also afraid of disturbing his wife who had been sleeping for a long time.

The peach tree was planted by the princess herself, saying that when the peach tree grew up, she would pick the fruit for the children to eat, but before the peach tree had grown, the princess was gone.

Peach trees are planted year after year, and they bloom at the time of reunion!

The self-exile of Xiao Xuan, the prince of the world, was not only to avoid the imperial court's decree of marriage, but also to visit the famous mountains and search for the mysterious ghost valley.

It's a pity that the ghost valley is as ethereal as overseas Penglai, hidden in the world, not in the red dust, and the world only knows its name, but does not know its location.

Lao Gao sighed secretly, Xiao Xuan is the most powerful vassal prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the future co-owner of 500,000 iron cavalry in Liangzhou, it seems that the scenery is infinite, but in fact, there are few people who know the bitterness in his heart.

"Lao Gao, have you ever married a wife?"

"I can't afford to marry!"

"Do you have a daughter?"

"Hey, there's really one!"

"Hey, I didn't have a wife, where did I get my daughter?"

"Born to a daughter-in-law!"

“......”

"What's your name?"

"Gao Yue, nicknamed Crescent Moon!"

"Well, if you can return to Liangzhou alive this time, I will definitely help you take good care of Miss Yue!"

"Young master, for the sake of our fateful friendship, it's better to say goodbye!"

“......”

A master and a servant led a skinny lame bad horse in the snow and walked slowly one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the cold wind howled with a murderous aura.
