Chapter 492: Triumphant Return, Sandwich the Road to Welcome
The golden autumn air is refreshing, and the slightly yellowish leaves are scattered with the wind......
Before you know it, it's October, and the heat is no more. People will even feel a cold wind blowing in the early morning, and they will feel a wisp of cold air hitting people!
However, at this time, for the capital, it is more lively than the scorching summer days in June.
It's not a New Year's holiday, but there are bursts of firecrackers, not a royal event such as the canonization of the crown prince or the new concubine of the saint, but the emperor still gives amnesty to the world.
In short, both the royal bureaucrats and the common people were in an inexplicable state of excitement. Because today is the day of the triumphant return of Lin Yu, the generalissimo of counterinsurgency who was personally canonized by the saint.
In a restaurant in the capital, it was very lively at this time. Bustling drinkers, whether they recognize each other or not, can sit down and drink a glass of wine.
In fact, it is no wonder that more than a month ago, news came out from the imperial court that once the counterinsurgency did not go well, it would consider moving the capital, which was not a good thing for the bureaucracy and aristocrats or the common people.
Besides, if you live in a place for a long time, you will naturally have feelings, who wants to move around, let alone being driven to migrate like a lost dog......
The storyteller was on stage at this time, foaming at the air, and telling the story of Lin Yu's suppression of the rebellion very hard. Listen to me,
Marshal Lin led the army to Bishui Pass, and staged a wonderful show that was no less than that of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when the princes of the Eighteenth Road crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and Liu Guan and Zhang Sanying fought against Lu Bu. ”
"What's a wonderful method?" asked one of the people in the audience a little impatiently.
"Don't worry, let me ask you, do you know Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu?" the storyteller did not continue directly, but asked around the corner.
"But in the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu who broke the cauldron and broke the main force of the Qin army?" a magistrate who knew a little bit about history replied loudly.
The storyteller nodded again and again, and responded: "Yes, it is this Chu overlord Xiang Yu who can carry the tripod, this Bishui guard general Xiang Guang, is his thirty-eighth generation great-grandson, and he has also inherited the courage of the ancestors, he practiced martial arts at the age of three, got on the horse at the age of eight, joined the army at the age of thirteen, carried the tripod at the age of fifteen, and became a general at the age of eighteen......"
When everyone heard this, they all gasped in shock, they didn't expect the guards of Bishui Pass to be so brave and have such a big background. Immediately, he was interested in how Lin Yu broke through the water barrier, and he became three points stronger, and everyone looked at the storyteller with wide eyes and anticipation.
The storyteller deliberately whetted everyone's appetite, drank a cup of tea slowly, cleared his throat, and said: "On the day of the battle, the wind was raging, and the yellow sand covered the sun. Marshal Lin wears a two-wind purple and gold crown, wears a silver-white chain armor, and under his crotch is a snow skull's chasing wind war horse, and the sword in his hand is even bigger, it is the Qingfeng sword that shocks the entire Central Plains martial arts.
It is said that Marshal Lin defeated the eight major factions of the Central Plains and the Wuyue Sword Sect in succession next to the ancient well of Huashan Yingyue, and won the title of the first sword in the world, and it was this sword that was used!
Let's continue to get down to business, Xiang Guang saw that our Marshal Lin was still young, so he had disdain, and when he opened his mouth and closed his mouth, he was a yellow-mouthed child, and the smell was not dry, these abusive sentences. even unashamedly threatened to let Marshal Lin make three moves.
At this point, the storyteller deliberately paused again, cleared his throat, and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you guess the result is?"
"Speak quickly, say quickly, don't lose your appetite......" Everyone in the audience was fascinated when they heard this, and suddenly heard the storyteller ask such a question, and they were immediately disappointed, and while throwing some broken silver and copper plates on the stage, they seemed to be very impatient and shouted.
The broken silver in the storyteller's stand was almost the same, so he cleared his throat again, and said: "The Qingfeng Sword in Marshal Lin's hand was like a lightning bolt, swishing out of the air, and before that Xiang Guang could react to what was going on, he was surprised to find that his bloody head was rolling to the ground, and he was looking at him with disbelief......
Hearing this, everyone's expressions were stunned, although many of them also knew in their hearts that most of the storytellers and stories told in this market were hearsay, and it was inevitable that they would be suspicious of adding fuel to the fire. However, when they heard this wonderful place, they were still shocked and applauded.
Middle-aged and elderly people praised Lin Yu as a peerless genius who is rare in a century. The young man was enthusiastic when he heard this, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would take Lin Yu as an example and make such an earth-shattering achievement. Those women, especially young women in the period of youth and ignorance, are secretly rippling in their hearts, hoping to marry a hero like Lin Yu. Of course, there are also a small number of people who are envious and jealous and disdain it.
"Then, after Xiang Guang was killed, wasn't Bishui Pass also breached?" asked a spectator with some impatience.
The storyteller smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, this guest officer, listen to me and continue slowly!"
With the commander of the true rebel army being killed, Marshal Lin jumped directly into the air, and the Qingfeng Sword in his hand was like a dragon going out to sea, straight into the sky, cutting off the banner of the rebels. Immediately afterwards, my Ming soldiers, like the rising tide of the sea, rushed up and defeated the rebels. As a result, the Bishui Pass, which is known as the Millennium Heroic Pass, has been broken by Marshal Lin in just half a day!"
Bang Bang ...... Bang Bang ...... Bang Bang ......
As soon as the storyteller's voice fell, the thunderous applause began to ring out and lasted for a long time. Among them, a handsome man clapped the hardest.
"Fluttershy, give me the silver ticket, the silver ticket...... he clapped his hands and shouted to his entourage.
"Gong ...... Son...... What do you want a silver ticket for?" Fluttershy asked, barely slurring, and hurriedly changed her words, a little confused.
The handsome man couldn't wait to respond: "If you want to bring it, you can bring it, why is there so much nonsense." ”
Fluttershy answers, and then takes the silver ticket, but just as she is about to pull one out of it, she is snatched by the handsome man and thrown directly at the stage.
Fluttershy was shocked when she saw this, and quickly shouted, "Princess, that's a few thousand taels of silver tickets......
At this time, everyone's expressions were full of surprise, especially the storyteller, there were so many silver tickets at once, enough for him to spend a lifetime.
This handsome man is none other than Princess Yingying, who escaped from the palace again. She stares at Fluttershy with wide eyes.
Fluttershy realizes that she had slipped her mouth and quickly covers her mouth with her hand.
Just when everyone was stunned, there was a sound of gongs and drums on the street outside the door, followed by an excited shout: "Marshal Lin has returned triumphantly!"
This sentence is like throwing a stone into the calm water of the lake, which is as calm as a mirror, and it instantly stirs up a thousand layers of Lang. The restaurant is like the sea at high tide, rushing outward.
At this time, the entire capital is already empty of thousands of people, and the surrounding streets can be described as crowded. Among them, there are many princes and nobles, who are specially here to explore the wind for their precious daughter who has not yet come out of the cabinet, hoping to marry this family.
Those rich sons who think that the emperor is the first in the world and Lao Tzu is the second in the world, at this time, their eyes are full of envy or jealousy, and there are even some people who say indignantly to their companions: "If I am in charge, I will definitely not be worse than him Lin Yu!"
Some of his fox friends and subordinates, after hearing his words, either out of echoing or coaxing, or out of fear, echoed and agreed, and by the way, he slapped a sycophant again, making him comfortable from his toes to his big forehead, and that fluttering smug look was as if he had won the battle and returned triumphantly.
Some adults who came to watch with children pointed to Lin Yu and said, "See, you have to study hard in the future, and when you grow up, you will be like him, and shine on the lintel." ”
Some daughters, at this time, were in the nearby pavilion, hiding their faces and looking at Lin Yu shyly, with all kinds of fine lights in their eyes, and their hearts were like thousands of deer banging around.
Of course, more people who came to see the excitement pointed at Lin Yu and began to talk in a whisper, except for a very few people, who said some radical words due to jealousy, the vast majority of others were full of praise.
Lin Yu's sword eyebrows were starry, and his clear eyes were like bright stars, staring intently ahead. The snow horse walked slowly, and the proud look was more enjoyable than the owner.
"Brother Lin, the capital is so lively!" For this kind of lively and extraordinary scene, Yan Yun, who had never been to the capital, was a little uncontrollable, his face was full of rippling smugness, and he said to Lin Yu excitedly.
This time, except for Lin Yong, Lin Sheng and others, who were in the capital before, only Yan Yun followed alone. Ah Feng missed Yan Hong very much, and went directly to Shu to find her.
Lian Yong went to Lianzi Village to guard the grave of his wife who had not yet passed the door and two good brothers in the same village.
Lin Yu doesn't have that kind of "spring breeze is proud, and he can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day." The excitement between the eyebrows even slightly condensed into a faint layer of melancholy, just barely squeezing out a smile at Yan Yun.
Yan Yun's mind at this time was all on this extraordinary excitement, so he didn't notice the strangeness in Lin Yu's expression.
Looking at the lively crowd, Lin Yu let out a long sigh in his heart. This kind of excitement is 10,000 times more, and it is not as good as Qing'er's strange sentence "Yin thief, I'm hungry." "Let him come excited.
The rebellion has been put down, and his family has come out of the predicament. But where is Qing'er at this time, the weather has turned cold, I don't know the stupid girl in Lu Dao, do you know how to add clothes, when you sleep at night, do you still like to kick the quilt so much, what if you catch a cold, who will take care of her......
Thinking of this, Lin Yu subconsciously touched the Alluring Love and Phantom Ring in his arms, and couldn't help but feel a lot of sadness in his heart. The eyes that were as bright as the stars began to slowly dim.
"Childe, isn't that Lin Gongzi?" Fluttershy shouted excitedly as she pointed at Lin Yu.
Ying Ying was as happy as a blooming lotus flower at this time, and on her cheeks, two seductive flushes made those women who thought they were full of charm and envious and difficult to look at.
"Lin ......" Ying Ying just wants to call Lin Yu, but before she can speak, she is stopped by Fluttershy.
Ying Ying glared at Fluttershy with some dissatisfaction and said, "Fluttershy, what are you doing?"
Fluttershy hurriedly whispered, "Princess, this is the street, not the palace, so you can't call Lin Gongzi here." ”
Ying Ying nodded again and again, and said, "That's right, if you leave a bad impression on Lin Gongzi, it won't be good." ”
Fluttershy is a little embarrassed at this time, and the first reaction of ordinary people when she calls Lin Yu on the street is that it will damage the majesty of the royal family, and the princess thinks of worrying that it will damage her image in Lin Yu's mind.
But if you think about how Princess Yingying and Lin Yu spent this month after they separated, then it will naturally be strange. The princess doesn't think about tea and food every day, and tosses very late at night, until she is tired and can't open her eyes, and then goes to sleep, during which she is basically thinking about Lin Yu, and even mistakes her for Lin Gongzi.
Sometimes, when Fluttershy went to wait for Princess Yingying to get up and change her clothes, she would always hear her babble about her dream of Lin Yu last night, and then what happened, and once she was still blushing and shyly saying that they had a cute baby, and for the next few days, she would be thinking of a name for the baby in her dream......
"The emperor has arrived, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" Just when everyone was talking, a shrill voice had already arrived.
