Chapter 16 Dongting Cicada
Xiao Zhan quietly returned to the General's Mansion on Langya Mountain on the night of the ambush.
The old man returned to the General's Mansion without stopping and hurriedly came to Qinfangyuan, where the prince lived, but the young prince gave the old man an unfathomable back.
The old man looked at the beautiful young man basking in the moon in the courtyard, silently wiped the corners of his eyes, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Xuan'er, have you seen any beautiful girls in your five years of travel? Do you want to help you capture them all for your father?"
It's really a family, a few sneaky maidservants who peeked at the son of the world covered their mouths and snickered.
The young Shizi glared at the old man, "Where the woman that Lao Tzu likes is caught, she is always caught." ”
The old man smiled and hurriedly said yes, looking at the world, the only one who dares to call Lao Tzu in front of Lao Tzu is His Royal Highness the Prince of Beiliang.
"Are you alright?" the young prince looked up at the night sky for a long time, then finally turned around and glanced the old man up and down.
The old man smiled and shook his head, "With you and the military advisor plotting, some uneasy people are all clowns who jump off the beam, how can they afford to lift the head of my slaughter Xiao Zhan." ”
The news that Xiao Zhan was seriously injured came out, but it was just a means for Lao Gao to confuse the enemy, Guigu carefully laid out and paid a heavy price, if there was no return, it would be too inconsistent with the identity of Guigu.
Beiliang's mastery of the Ghost Valley is not enough, and it has not yet reached the point where the fish die and the net is broken.
Xiao Xuan looked at the hunchbacked old man who was inexplicably a little frizzy, and glared: "What are you laughing at, it's only been five years, why can't you even straighten your waist?"
Xiao Xuan tore off his mink coat and draped it on the old man, the old man took off his warm coat and sighed: "It's old!"
"Old fart, get out!" the young man's eyes widened, and the sound of a rolling word was like a bell, and the momentum was compelling.
If the old man was amnesty, he turned around and left, the god of killing who shocked the world, and the only Tiance general of the Great Zhou Dynasty ran away directly.
Those maids and maidservants who secretly watched the prince were a little dumbfounded, and the old man who left in gray was not an old peasant from an ordinary family, but a killing god who slaughtered the four kingdoms, and was the general and prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The young prince looked around, and found no less than ten little girls who were secretly looking at him, and smiled evilly, "What do you see, whoever looks at this son again will come to warm my quilt at night!"
"I'll ......"
The young prince thought that this move would scare these little girls with rippling hearts, but they didn't expect these girls to be even more unscrupulous, and even applauded directly.
What about the woman's reserve, the woman's subtlety, the young prince bared his teeth and said viciously: "Go and line up, this son loves you one by one." ”
Xiao Xuan turned around and ran away after dropping a sentence, and went to Luoyan Island Tianji Pavilion to practice knives.
In Baixiao Building, Lao Gao and the old man who had just returned from the capital sat on the ground casually, the two had not seen each other for five years, and they had not seen each other for five years, and the two did not sigh and sigh, but looked at each other, and turned their heads tacitly.
It was a look of mutual disgust, the general who slaughtered the four countries could not be said to be heroic, and the poor Confucian who ended the chaotic war in the Ten Kingdoms could not be said to be romantic.
"Where's the plum wine?" Seeing Xiao Zhan's empty hands, the poor Confucian looked at him angrily, snorted coldly, and sat on the ground sulking like a trick.
Xiao Zhan smiled, sat on the ground, and took out a delicate tea can from his sleeve robe, tattooed with the words "Dongting Cold Cicada".
Dongting cicada is the tea produced by three strange tea trees in front of the cold wind cave of Dongting Lake, the cicada is poignant, the Dongting fog is hidden, the tea tree is hidden in the clouds and mist, and curls up like a cicada after picking. There are only ten cans produced every year, even the emperor is difficult to drink, and each can is worth a thousand gold, which belongs to the best in tea.
Lao Gao suddenly smiled, this peerless strategist who came out of the chaos of the Ten Kingdoms had two hobbies, green tea and plum wine.
Lao Gao made tea when the amount and amount, for fear of wasting a grain, the way in the tea, from the selection of tea, the amount of tea, to the soaking time and techniques, there are all kinds of exquisite, broad and profound.
......
Lao Gao and Xiao Zhan sat and drank, Lao Gao was like a treasure, every sip was tasted and enjoyed with heart, just like the old farmer's Xiao Zhan took a big sip of cow drink, a cup is a mouthful, Lao Gao's face hurts, it is simply a cow chewing peony.
"This doesn't taste very good, and it doesn't seem to be any different from the two taels of silver that can buy dozens of catties of tea!"
Xiao Zhan smashed his mouth, what he said almost didn't make Lao Gao angry, drinking tea like a cow chewing a peony, and being able to taste the true taste of tea, that is really hell.
As soon as the second pot of tea was brewed, a secret letter from Huainan was sent to Baixiaolou, and Lao Gao looked at the secret letter and his expression was slightly gloomy.
"Yuwen Hu made a move against the Sima family?" Xiao Zhan's eyes bloomed with a chilling glint of coldness.
Lao Gao shook his head and handed the secret letter to Xiao Zhan, who looked cold after reading it.
The content of the secret letter is very simple, Sima Cuo, the second son of the Sima family in Jiangnan Province, was stabbed to death, and the young daughter Sima Xiaoxiao disappeared, suspected of being Guigu's shot.
After being silent for a while, Xiao Zhan's face returned to normal, and he asked softly, "What does Mr. think?"
Lao Gao slowly turned the teacup and muttered: "Don't tell Shizi about this matter for the time being, so as not to distract him, let Bai Mei go." ”
Xiao Zhan nodded slightly, he has three righteous sons, each with their own strengths, all of whom are extraordinary people.
On the cultivation of Xuangong, when the world's tenth Chen Xuanba is the leader, Chen Xuanba is good at using a pair of thunderbolt fire hammers weighing 300 catties, once with the strength of one person, the strength of the 200,000 troops of Xishu, killing 3,000 enemies, battlefield attack, unparalleled in the world.
On the art of war, Huo Jinghuan should be the leader, Huo Jinghuan is known as a soldier, and he is good at winning with treachery and changeability.
Ten Kingdoms chaotic battle Xiao family army in the Western Shu general Li Mo decisive battle Jianmen Pass, Hou Yan suddenly sent troops to attack the Xiao family camp, Huo Jinghuan regardless of the Yan army raid Xiao family back, but personally led 50,000 troops to attack the capital of Hou Yan, Hou Yan army rushed back to help, the capital still fell, Hou Yan Emperor Murong Xian died in the melee, only one seven princes escaped, Hou Yan was devastated because of this, and soon was wiped out by Xiao Jiatie.
Chen Xuanba and Huo Jinghuan are both famous generals who fought in the chaos of the Ten Kingdoms, even if they look at the Central Plains and Kyushu, except for Xiao Zhan, Meng Ao and a few others, who can stand side by side with them.
But the head of Xiao Zhan's three righteous sons is neither Chen Xuanba nor Huo Jinghuan, but the white-eyed and white-haired weird Ye Baimei.
Ye Baimei, born a freak with white eyebrows and white hair, was abandoned by his parents in the wilderness, but it was Chen Lingsu, a medical woman who went up the mountain to collect medicine, who saved him and raised him as an adult.
After Chen Lingsu married Xiao Zhan, Ye Baimei followed Xiao Zhan to fight in the south and the north, and made countless military exploits, once attacked Xishu at night with 300 iron cavalry, burned the military rations of 200,000 troops in Xishu, and forced Xishu to have a decisive battle with Xiao Zhan in advance at Jianmen Pass.
Although Ye Baimei is not as brave as Chen Xuanba, nor as good as Huo Jinghuan, Ye Baimei is smart and resolute, and is known for his calmness and ruthlessness.
It is indeed the most appropriate to send Ye Baimei there, the situation in Yingchuan is complicated, Huainan Wang Yuwen Hu is the younger brother of Yu Wenyong, the son of heaven of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with 200,000 infantry and 30,000 sailors, he is one of the most powerful vassal kings of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Not only that, Jiangnan Province also has Sima, Murong and other wealthy families, some of these families have been inherited for hundreds of years, and they are deeply rooted in Jiangnan Province, even if Huainan Wang Yuwen Hu does not dare to move them easily, the situation in Huainan is complicated, and it really needs a calm person to go.
As soon as night fell, a horse quietly left the General's Mansion and galloped south.
Two miles away from Langya Mountain, a young man dressed in white and riding a big horse waited quietly on the deep mountain path, as if waiting for someone.
It didn't take long for the sound of horses' hooves to be heard, and the lone rider who had left the General's Mansion stopped behind the young man.
The black-robed man raised his head, revealing a miserable white face, white eyebrows and white hair, except for a pair of dark eyes, everything else was white.
The man in black looked at the young man in front of him, and said lightly: "Ye Baimei, I've seen the son!"
"It's seven years in a blink of an eye, big brother, how are these years?"
The young prince shook his head with a sigh, seven years ago, Ye Baimei was sealed as the assassin of Liuzhou, guarding Liuzhou, if he did not escort Xiao Zhan back to Liang this time, Ye Baimei would not have returned to Beiliang.
The father-son relationship between Xiao Zhan and Ye Baimei is not heavy, if it weren't for the medical girl Chen Lingsu, I'm afraid Ye Baimei would not recognize Xiao Zhan as his father-in-law, and naturally he would not recognize his brother-in-law Xiao Xuan, who has a very bad reputation.
Ye Baimei didn't say much, just nodded lightly, neither deliberately greeting him, nor holding the shelf of his righteous brother, just as plain as water, the ancient well does not wave.
