Chapter 178: It Feels Good to Be Home
After Liu Yi and Dongfang were undefeated and galloped for dozens of miles, Dongfang Undefeated suddenly restrained Ma and said with a smile: "What do you say we are called? We are also celebrities in the rivers and lakes, how can we act like two fugitives?"
"Fugitives, you can think of them, have you ever seen a fugitive as handsome and dashing as me, and a fugitive with a jade tree in the wind? In my opinion, it is a pair of little lovers eloping!" Liu Ying replied with a smile.
"You're still handsome and chic, you are Marshal Tianpeng. Also eloped, you are so beautiful, I don't care, there is an inn in front, I want to rest, I have been busy fighting with Jin Bing during this time, and I haven't slept well!" Dongfang Undefeated had a hint of ridicule in his tone.
Not to mention that Dongfang was undefeated and didn't sleep well, Liu Yi was also very tired, although the old lady asked them to return to Sizhou City as soon as possible, but with Liu Yao's undefeated martial arts with Dongfang, there was nothing to worry about.
The two of them hit the horse and came to the inn in front, the inn was not big, a dilapidated lantern with a few broken words written on it was shaking in the wind, Liu Yi had no mind to study the broken words on the lantern with missing strokes and few drawings, and he didn't know what this inn was called.
Although the inn is broken and small, but today's business seems to be surprisingly good, this road is the only way from Yangzhou to Kaifeng, now the war in Kaifeng has stopped, those people who fled are rushing back, so the business is better.
Liu Yi just asked casually, and the shopkeeper explained to him for a long time, and the purpose of the explanation seemed to be only one, that is, although there was a room in the inn, there was only one.
One is just one room, it's better than nothing, Liu Yi didn't feel anything embarrassed. After all, he and Dongfang are undefeated, and they have not shared the same bed. It is said that sharing a bed with a beautiful woman is either a beast or a beast, Liu Ai actually wants to be a beast, but he is not as good as a beast.
After opening the room, the two came to the lobby to eat after a simple wash, the small inn estimates that there are few ordinary guests, and there are not too many dishes, ordering here and there are not only shallots mixed with tofu, or boiled radish heads, anyway, it is extremely simple.
Fortunately, Liu Yi has not paid attention to these, and as for Dongfang Undefeated, he has always focused on a light diet in order to maintain a beautiful figure. The dish that the two called was simple. I also ate it with relish.
Although the inn is a Quartet of guests coming and going, the majority of them are in the suburbs of Kaifeng, perhaps growing up at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and they especially like to talk to God. Although when the golden soldiers came, they ran faster than anyone else. But he can brag more than anyone else.
A general who said he knew a certain general of the plantation master. One said that he knew a certain subordinate of Tianbo Yang Mansion, and the other actually said that he knew Yangwu Hou Liu Ai......
Liu Yi didn't swallow a mouthful of food, and almost squirted it out. Looking at Dongfang Undefeated face to face, it was really hard to cry and laugh, of course, Liu Yi didn't expose their tricks, it was just a few small talks, and it wasn't a big deal.
The purpose of what they say is nothing more than to make it clear that the so-called inside stories of the gods they say are true, and it is nothing more than to attract more ignorant people to attach themselves to it, and gain an inexplicable sense of superiority from it.
From their scattered speeches, Liu Yi could also hear that they actually had a lot of complaints about this peace discussion, and they also hated the lords and factions of the court, although they didn't know what military affairs were, let alone politics, but there was one thing they knew very well.
That is, the altar to catch the tortoise, nine out of ten stable, in their opinion, Wanyan Zongwang went deep alone, came to Kaifeng, and the soldiers and horses of the king of Qin from all walks of life are also coming, that Wanyan Zongwang is the turtle in the jar.
But what made them feel particularly angry was that so many civil servants and so many military generals, why did they understand this from time to time, and why did no one catch this turtle?
Jar to catch turtles, this truth is very simple, using this to describe this war is also a special image, Liu Yi has already begun to admire the wisdom of the ancestors, such an intricate war, with this simple few words to express clearly.
But what's the use of making it clear? Is it that those civil servants don't understand or those military generals don't understand? In Liu Ai's opinion, everyone understands it in their stomachs, but some people deliberately pretend to be confused.
Don't those lords and factions really know that Wanyan Zongwang is a lone army? Don't they really know that those Qin Wang's teachers trample to death Yan Zongwang is as simple as stepping on a bunch of ants!
Of course, they knew that if they didn't know, they wouldn't have leaked out about Yao Pingzhong's robbery, and if they didn't know, they wouldn't have run to the Yellow River in advance to stop the pursuit.
They know everything, and their purpose in doing this is not for the common people of the world, they are only for their interests, and they are only for the use of these incidents to fight against dissidents, and the common people are ants in their eyes.
Liu Yi didn't have much of the heart to listen to their gossip here, and returned to the room after a hasty meal, as a latecomer, of course he knew that this siege of Kaifeng was just a prologue, and the greater disaster was still to come.
The difficulty of Jingkang is the pain in the hearts of everyone in the Huaxia nationality, the Jin soldiers not only looted Kaifeng, but also took the families of the royal ministers to the north when they left, and suffered humiliation, more than 3,400 women, only more than 1,900 were left after arriving in the Jin country, and half of them died on the road, which shows the cruelty and humiliation in the middle.
In the past, when I was reading history, I always felt that this was a very distant thing, but now, I just went to history, especially this time the siege of the Jin soldiers, and I became a participant in history, but it did not play a decisive role, and relatively speaking, I can only be a passerby.
Although Liu Ai has not learned the history very well, he also knows that the shame of Jingkang happened in the second year of Jingkang, which was the first siege of the Jin soldiers, and the Jin soldiers will invade the south again next year, and it will not be as simple as besieging the city at that time.
On the way to Kaifeng this time, there are people fleeing everywhere, and this kind of human tragedy that has only been seen in books has happened vividly in front of his eyes, if Kaifeng City is broken, the people are not as good as ants, what kind of scene will it be, Liu Yi has not dared to imagine.
Whether Liu He is the emperor or Liu Blind is the emperor, the entire court is already rotten to the roots, and such a court, no matter what he does, it is impossible to save it.
The diners outside are still talking about current affairs, still talking about the foam, they still think that after the Jin soldiers retreat north, they will get a temporary peace of mind, so when they talk about current affairs, they do not forget to intersperse some personal plans in the middle, as well as the yearning for the future.
Therefore, after the Jin soldiers retreated north, they rushed back to their homeland as soon as possible, they wanted to use their hard-working hands to rebuild their homeland and erase the wounds of the war.
Liu Yi suddenly felt that Huaxia was very lucky, because the people of Huaxia were so kind, even if they left their homeland this time, even if their homes were destroyed this time, but in addition to resenting the brutality of the Jin soldiers, they were particularly tolerant of those in power.
In their hearts, although they feel a little sorry that they didn't kill Wan Yan Zongwang outside Kaifeng City this time, but it's just a pity, for them, the way of war and peace is not important, the important thing is that the Jin soldiers retreated, and they could go home.
What a desirable word to go home, think about the country of China thousands of years later, in order to go home, you can squeeze into the train station for three days and three nights, just for a station ticket to go home, in order to go home, you can ride a motorcycle and brave the wind and rain to walk on the lonely road, in order to go home, you can roll up your pants and walk on the cold highway barefoot......
Liu Ai actually wants to go home, not in Sizhou City, but in Haicheng, but he knows that he can't go back to that home now, and the only thing he can do now is to let these people who go home no longer leave home!
After Dongfang returned to the room undefeated, she saw that Liu Ill had been standing there stupidly, looking preoccupied, and she didn't dare to disturb him, because she knew that Liu Ill was the most taboo to disturb at this time.
Running around for days, even if she is an iron beater, she can't stand it, not to mention that she is also flesh and blood, she didn't let Liu Yi have laid the floor, and when she went to bed, she naturally squeezed inside, leaving a vacant seat.
Liu Yi had already thought about it in a mess, and he didn't speak, but sighed heavily, took off his coat, squeezed into bed, and faced Dongfang Undefeated, but he didn't have the heart to think about the story of the beast or the beast that was inferior, but turned slightly sideways and left his back to Dongfang Undefeated.
Liu Ill's behavior made Dongfang Undefeated feel very strange, because in her memory, whenever she was alone with Liu Ill, his hand would always be put in the position where it shouldn't be, but this time......
Dongfang Undefeated slowly turned sideways, stretched out his hands and hugged Liu Ai in his arms, only to find that Liu Ai's whole body was trembling slightly, and his hands involuntarily hugged him tighter, and said softly: "Don't worry, maybe the old lady is alarmist, we will definitely be able to return to Sizhou City safely!"
It seems that Dongfang Undefeated misunderstood himself, and thought that his fear was because Wei Zhongxian would come to chase and kill, but he didn't know that what he was really afraid of was the upcoming Jingkang disaster, and Liu Ying didn't explain it to her, because it couldn't be explained.
It's good for her to misunderstand, at least she can lie quietly in her arms, just like lying in her mother's arms when she was a child, very quiet and safe.
Dongfang Undefeated hugged him tightly with his left hand, put his right hand on his head, gently pulled his long hair, and said very gently: "You can sleep at ease, no matter whether it is a strong wind or a rainstorm ahead, I will accompany you to the end!"
Liu Yi has stretched out his right hand to hold Dongfang's undefeated little hand, only to feel that her hand is very warm, also very tender, and has a special strength...... (To be continued......)
