Jian Nanhong, Jiang Shuyuan, Meng Di and others were ceremoniously entertained in the Beidou Village for several days, the heroes of the green forest were heroic and refreshing, although they were rough and informal, but they were warm and thoughtful, so that people had to accept it comfortably, the sky was idle, the three village owners were there, Jian Nanhong seized the opportunity, and said the purpose of the cottage bluntly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as the words fell, the thirteen leopards said with a smile, "Meng Gongzi is the great benefactor of our cottage, if it were not for the generosity of his ancestors, our cottage would not be what it is today, since it is what his ancestors placed here, of course it should be returned to Meng Gongzi." ”
Gu Shangwu also readily agreed, "It is natural that the things will be returned to the original owner, and besides, Meng Gongzi is using the treasure here to purchase war horses and weapons and strengthen the army to defend his homeland and hometown, there is nothing to say, but-" He said this, and suddenly hesitated euphemistically; "I don't know where the treasure deposited by Meng Gongzi's ancestors is stored in the cottage, and there is no mention of the treasure in the will of the ancestor of the village. ”
Jian Nanhong smiled and explained, "The student only analyzed and speculated on the artistic conception of Meng Gongzi's ancestors' last pen calligraphy and painting Hanjiang map and deliberately concluded that the treasure was in Guizhai, the so-called paper talk, if not, Meng Gongzi would never blame Guizhai, maybe the student analyzed and speculated wrongly, the right to make a small chat, laughing and generous, if there is really a treasure, Meng Gongzi can quickly increase the number of male cavalry 100,000, let go of the Manchu Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, and recover the lost land. ”
Jiang Shuyuan has been silent, and suddenly took over at this time, "The owners of Beidou Village are all frank and upright Zheng Zheng men, maybe there is a mention in the original will that the treasure is stored, waiting for the benefactor of the Flying Eagle Dragon Xiang pattern to take it, but no one has come to take it, the previous generations of the village owners are people who value righteousness, regard gold as dung, and respect the benefactor's things, no one goes to check the treasure, and over time, it is forgotten, so in the will, only the person who sees the Flying Eagle Dragon Xiang pattern is the benefactor, and there is no mention of the treasure storage...... Speaking of this, he looked at the three village owners and said wittily, "I'm sorry, this is just speculation in the next place, and the three village owners must not blame the next talk." ”
Hao Yunpeng grinned and said, "Jiang Daxia said that, the subordinates are all big-bellied men lying six feet horizontally, not so stingy, even if there is no treasure, they will not blame Jiang Daxia, but Jiang Daxia's words may still have some truth." ”
Jian Nanhong looked at Gu Shangwu and asked, "Master of the ancient village, think about it, is there any secret place in the cottage?"
Gu Shangwu thought for a while, and suddenly slapped his head and said: "There is a hidden stone cave at the end of this stone hall, which is a forbidden place for the village, and only the owner of the village is allowed to enter alone. With that, he stood up sharply and shouted, "Come, prepare some torches." ”
Several subordinates neatly brought a few torches and stood beside them, waiting for orders.
Gu Shangwu looked around at everyone, raised his fists into the air and bowed a few times, and then said solemnly;" I ancient Shangwu regarded the brothers in the village as brothers, the Beidou village is the home of the brothers, what is the bottom of the family, all the brothers should know, there is nothing to hide, so now in the next announcement, the village forbidden land only allows the owner of the village to enter and exit the rule of one person, the two owners and subordinate brothers can go in, the ancestors of the past generations are not strange, please understand, everyone with the owner of the village into the forbidden stone cave to see, maybe the treasure is inside. With that, the leader went straight to the depths of the stone hall.
Everyone followed him, and stopped at the end of the stone hall, Qu Ling'er made a funny grimace, inexplicably excited, childlike, she liked these adventures and treasure hunts, thrilling, mysterious and exciting.
Deep at the end of the stone hall is a complete stone wall with an axe and a broken knife, look at the past, there is no road, but in front of the stone wall, you find that there is another way, bypass the wall along the inconspicuous path and turn in, there is a different world, the path gradually becomes wider, the top space is very large and very high, and a few rays of natural sunlight penetrate into the rock crevices of the wolf's teeth, and the light is still brighter, and there is no need for torches at all.
Suddenly, a six-foot-high bluestone tablet appeared on the road ahead. Forbidden land' two words, Gu Shangwu led over the bluestone stele, and saw a hole on the road ahead, Gu Shangwu was about to order his subordinates to light the torches, but heard everyone exclaimed, carefully looked at the inside of the cave, still according to the rare light, everyone entered the cave in order, the hole path slowly changed from narrow to wide, and finally turned out to be a natural stone room, it is the same as the outside from the rock crevice of the top space into the sun, the light is brighter, dry and ventilated, winter and summer cool, it is really a unique hole, natural into a corner of the world.
Look at the big stone room again, there are several stone tables inside, on which are placed all kinds of weapons, hidden weapons, Go, chess, jade flute, iron chime and other objects, in addition to some copper and silver bottles for drinking, it seems that the owners of Beidou Village have liked each other, so it can be seen that the owners of the village in the past dynasties are some brave and poor real men, no luxury and greed, Qu Ling'er couldn't help but shout; "Wow! The owners of Beidou Village are too shabby, right?" She is the daughter of the first village in Shandong Green Forest, the black lion flame village, and she must be used to seeing the scene of weighing gold in the village, so her tone is particularly big.
Jian Nanhong glanced at her and corrected, "The owners of Beidou Village are all iron-blooded heroes, chivalrous and tender, people are not greedy for money, and their property is used to help the poor people." ”
This explanation is decent and reasonable, everyone immediately appreciated, the sound has not ended, everyone is an exclamation again, because everyone found that in a corner of the stone room, a huge thick low stone table neatly stacked four large suitcases, everyone hurriedly rushed over to check, the outline edge of the suitcase is wrapped with a copper row with rivets, and the stone wall is carved with a knife or sword above the word 'Flying Eagle Xianglong, Engong Deposit', from the meaning of the word, Mengdi's ancestors in the Beidou Village to store treasures belong to the truth.
The suitcase is equipped with a monster buckle, but it is not locked, everyone is overjoyed, near not waiting to open the lid of the box, in an instant, the four suitcase lids are opened together, the jewels in the box suddenly reflect the stone room full of brilliance, everyone screams again, it seems to be very excited, the original leather box is made of mahogany boards, the outside is lined with cowhide, there are gold and silver, pearl agate, jade jade, more rare amber, coral trees, cat's eyes, night pearls, red, green and yellow gems of various colors and patterns, dazzling, some objects are the royal items of the palace court, and everyone is shockedAfter all, it was the first time in their lives that they had seen so many treasures, and then everyone fell silent, they almost didn't believe their eyes.
Only Jiang Shu was willing not to look at the treasures in the box, but he paced back and forth in the stone room, muttering to himself, "This stone room was not so big, and the owners of Beidou Village adapted measures to local conditions, not only widened the stone room, but also used these stone walls to make stone tables and stone stones, which is really a wonderful idea and ingenuity." "He is alienated and casual by nature, indifferent to fame and wealth, and has no interest in these yellow and white treasures.
After a period of silence, Gu Shangwu pointed to the treasure and said to Meng Di, "Master Meng, all the things that the ancestors have stored are here, and there are a lot of them, and now they will be returned." ”
Meng Di grabbed Gu Shangwu and said excitedly, "Gu Zhai Lord, in the next generation of my desert royal family and grassland subjects thank Guizhai, so many years, the stars have changed, I didn't expect Guizhai to be so committed, Guizhai has alternated generations of village owners, no one has touched a finger of these things, Guizhai's character is thin and cloudy, high wind and bright festival, and it is really admired in the next twelve points." After speaking, let go of Gu Shangwu's hand, took a few steps back, suddenly fell to kneel, bowed to the three village owners, and praised;" In the next generation of ancestors thanked Guizhai for the credibility of the promise, on behalf of the desert grassland thanked Guizhai for sending charcoal in the snow, in the next can let go and the Manchu Eight Banners Iron Cavalry fight, recovering the lost land is expected, if one day, in the next to complete the wish of unifying the rivers and mountains, must be in accordance with the royal etiquette to welcome the village owners to the desert grass wish to visit, let the village owners put on the whitest Hada, drink the most mellow mare's milk wine, listen to the most beautiful songs of the grassland. ”
When he bowed, the three village owners hurriedly helped him up, and complained in their mouths, "Meng Gongzi, you are not killing the life of your brothers, please get up quickly!" After Meng Di got up, Gu Shangwu ordered his followers, "Carry the four boxes of treasures out of the stone room and put them in the hall, be careful!"
The subordinate entourage was ordered to step forward and close the lids of the four suitcases, fasten the plate buckles, and prepare to carry them out of the stone chamber.
"Wait-" Meng Di broke off and roared, and suddenly stepped forward to stop the entourage, "Just this promise and this reputation of Guizhai, half of these treasures must be left as a reward given by the royal family in the lower desert, and I hope that Guizhai will smile and accept it, and at the same time—" He said, and opened the lid of a suitcase with his own hands, and said sincerely to Jian Nanhong, Jiang Shuyuan, and Qu Ling'er;" The secret of this treasure is thanks to the careful thinking and analysis of the sword boy, relying on the judgment of Shenhui, and the help of Jiang Daxia and the little brother in Tsing Yi. ”
Jian Nanhong stepped forward to remove his hand, closed the lid of the box, and explained with a smile, "Students and friends will not ask for your things, we have received Brother Mengtai's intentions, if Brother Meng Tai insists on reluctantly, one will damage our chivalrous reputation, and the other will also damage the friendship between our brothers, Brother Mengtai, please take back your intentions." ”
Meng Di was embarrassed for a while, his face was flushed, he was a little embarrassed, and he insisted on saying something, but he saw Jian Nanhong's tone was firm, his face was serious, and he didn't know what to say, so Jiang Shuyuan paced forward and said to Meng Di, "Beidou Village has lasted so many years, this promise is as heavy as Mount Tai, and it should be given to them some treasures as a reward, Meng Gongzi is a person with affection and righteousness, if you don't do this, your conscience will be unbearable, so I also agree to leave half of the treasure to Beidou Village, and don't push the rest anymore." ”
The prodigal son said this, many people present applauded, Ruolin, Butu, copper lamp, green lantern and other Mongolians applauded particularly loudly, the desert steppe children are straightforward, grievances are clear, they have already admired the promise of Beidou Zhai, according to their customs, if they do not give something back, they will regret it for life, if the other party does not accept, they will also be painful and humiliated, thinking that the other party looks down on themselves.
Gu Shangwu, Hao Yunpeng, and the three village owners of the thirteen leopards still wanted to step forward to stop Meng Di, Jiang Shu was willing to stretch out his hand to stop them and said, "The three village owners can't not give Meng Gongzi face, the desert people are very particular about the principle of grievances, and if the three village owners don't accept it, it will hurt their hearts, this matter is so decided, Meng Gongzi took away two boxes of treasures, and the remaining two boxes of treasures were left for Guizhai." ”
The three owners of the village knew that the prodigal hero had traveled from south to north and had rich experience, and he must have made sense to do so, so he no longer pushed it off, and gladly accepted it, and Gu Shangwu ordered his entourage to move out of the stone room with two boxes of treasures to the outside hall.
Everyone returned to the hall, Gu Shangwu and asked Meng Di's subordinates to move the two boxes of treasure back to the room where they lived, Meng Di, Ruolin and others got the treasure, enough for them to equip 100,000 iron horses, their hearts suddenly brightened, and they couldn't help but indulge in pride in their words, they urgently needed to rush back to the desert to buy war horses and weapons to build cavalry after getting the treasure, so they proposed to Gu Shangwu, Hao Yunpeng, Thirteen Leopards and Jian Nanhong, Jiang Shuyuan and others to resign early tomorrow morning, everyone knew that they had a national mission, and it was not easy to reluctantly retain, so they readily agreed, Jian Nanhong, Jiang Shuyuan and others also remembered that the heroes of Kyoto were imminent, and also proposed to the three village owners to resign early tomorrow morning, the three owners of the village had no choice but to agree.
That night, the whole Beidou village boiled and lively, pine oil added, the size of the lamp and the giant candle pot burned, the hall was bright and thorough, as if it was day, the big pot of roast beef, the roast whole sheep mixed with the birds and beasts of the mountains and the monkey's head Ru, the golden silk mushroom, the bamboo sunflower and other mountain delicacies, the wine of the big altar and the big bowl, the feast was rich, the ceremony was harmonious and grand, the big and small leaders of the Beidou Village came to say goodbye to the Mongolians and the Nanxiu Gongzi, the prodigal son and others.
Push the cup to change the lamp, shouting, the wine flow is like a hanging spring pouring, the empty altar frequently overlaps, the wine is drunk in a strong atmosphere, the pride is expressed, the wine falls like the wind and the clouds, it is really vigorous, the desert grassland children are sincerely grateful for the integrity of the cottage from the heart, they are simple by nature, not good at language expression, all the ways are reflected in the wine, the heroes of Taihang also respect them as the benefactors of the cottage, but also diligently persuade the wine, to the evening sub-card time, many cottage leaders and Mengdi's subordinate entourage are drunk on the long table, even Le Xi and the copper lamp, the green lantern master is no exception。
Although Meng Di, Ruolin, Butu and others can barely support and cope, they also feel lightheaded, a little too strong to drink, Jian Nanhong and Qu Ling'er are also drunk with red faces, slightly drunk, fortunately, Jiang has a long-cherished wish to block the wine for the two of them from time to time, and those who come will not refuse, otherwise they would have already laid down, the three village owners have been drunk and shook their heads, almost standing unsteadily, but they are very interesting, and they have to continue to drink, but Gu Shangwu took into account that the guests will set off on the road early tomorrow morning, so he stopped the other two village owners, and ordered people to send the guests back to the room to rest, and those who were drunk were carried back to their respective rooms by people, and the banquet was finally dispersed。
The three owners of the village returned to their respective rooms, but they couldn't sleep when they fell on the bed and tossed over and over, they rested for a while, the wine dissipated, and they wanted to drink and talk, they all liked the straightforward and heroic of the desert steppe children, rough and fierce, and wanted people to come here from thousands of miles away, it was not easy, tomorrow a farewell, I don't know when to get together? So they turned over and got up, and the three of them got up at the same time, and had the same idea, so the three of them picked up two jars of wine and went straight to the barracks where Mundi was staying, and wanted to drink and talk with them again.
At this time, it was already the second watch in the middle of the night, the moonlight was very good, the thin snow reflected the clear moonlight, a silvery scene, the three village owners came to the barracks where Meng Di and others stayed, the guards stood guard saw that it was the village owners who arrived, and they were busy saluting, Gu Shangwu was about to call them in to report, but he heard a noisy sound from the house, the house was lit up, one voice was rough and loud, like the voice of Mundy, and the other voice began to cry after arguing a few words, looking very sad.
The three owners of the village were taken aback, and couldn't help but look at me, I looked at you, looking at each other, not knowing what was going on inside, at this time, the house sounded in the voice of Meng Di again, "Brother Wei has long persuaded you, and tried his best to oppose you to come to the Central Plains of China, I don't know how many times I have told you, the Central Plains of China is not as good as our desert grassland, here is vast, the earth is excellent, the unique soil brewed out of the talent can be Anbang, across the horse can settle the country, and the beauty of the mountains and rivers makes the people here more handsome, chic and dignified......"
The cry was just a sob, no answer.
"Alas-" Mundy sighed heavily and continued, "the people here are handsome and picturesque, you can't help but be tempted, I think you have also reached the age of ignorance and Huaichun, and I don't blame you for being cranky for my brother, but I want to tell you that the sword boy of the family has a righteous mission and belongs to the rivers and lakes, he will not give up his mission because of you, bury this relationship deep in his heart, go to Haosheng to make up some makeup, tell him the truth, and say goodbye to him again, and show a little courage and courage of a grassland daughter." ”
The three village owners heard vaguely, but thought that this was a housework after all, and it was inconvenient to disturb at this time, so they immediately turned around and left.
"The three village owners stay!" saw Butu rush out of another side room and shouted.
The three village owners stopped and turned around, Butu had already come to the three of them, and explained with a fist clasp, "My son-in-law is worried about a little housework, there is no big problem, and it will not sweep away the elegance of the three village owners, please take a moment and report it immediately." With that, he went straight to the front of Mundy's room and banged on the door.
When the door opened, Mondy heard that the three village owners had come to visit and gather with wine, and immediately smiled and raised his hand to the three village owners to show their invitation.
The three owners of the village entered the room, but they didn't see the person who was crying just now, they must have entered the room, the guests and officiants sat down, Hao Yunpeng, the thirteen leopards put the two jars of wine on the table, and Gu Shangwu saluted and said humbly;
Butu had already found a few bowls, put the wine in the wine jar on the table into the bowls, and then put it in front of everyone, and he quietly retreated to the side, after a polite word, the wine fell into the stomach, and after a while, he opened the chatterbox, talking and laughing.
A melodious sound of beads and rings sounded, and a Mongolian decorated girl came out of the room, full of gold and silver round beads, big earrings, big breasts, colorful Xia Shawl, long skirt mopping the floor, placket and long skirt are decorated with pearls and gemstones, it looks crystal shiny, dazzling, the girl's face is like a full moon, the cheeks are crimson, and the cherry lips are dotted, this is the wearing of Mongolian royal clothing, beautiful and noble and reveals a kind of royal solemn atmosphere.
The eyes of the three village owners lit up, and they were dumbfounded, they didn't expect that a beautiful girl of a different race would suddenly appear, they didn't know what to say, and finally looked at Meng Di together, Meng Di smiled and didn't answer, with a mysterious expression.
Unexpectedly, the girl came to the table, picked up a bowl of wine and saluted the three village masters, "The ancient village master, the Hao village master, the thirteen village masters, the little sister respects you with a bowl of wine, there are many disturbances these days, the little sister does it first as a respect!" She spoke generously, and she could also call the surnames of the three village owners.
The three village owners watched the girl drink the wine in the bowl in one go, and hurriedly stood up and picked up the wine bowl, a little surprised, but they didn't know how to call each other, and they were stunned on the spot for a while.
Seeing this, Butu asked with a smile, "The three village owners have a good memory, and they are still drinking together this night, why don't they know each other now?" Seeing the three village owners touching their heads, Butu introduced and explained, "This is Ruolin's son, she was originally the royal princess of my desert golden dragon clan, because it was convenient and convenient to go to the Central Plains of China, so the woman dressed as a man." ”
The three village owners listened to Butu's explanation, and then witnessed it carefully, the girl's facial features and face were really familiar, it was Ruolin Gongzi, the three of them couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "I didn't expect Ruolin Gongzi to be a princess who has captivated the city and the country, making us like a cloud, toasting to the princess!" The three of them raised the wine bowl together and drank it all in one gulp.
Ruolin is actually the princess of the Northern Desert royal family, the sister of Prince Mengdi, who has been influenced by her father and brothers since childhood, loves martial arts, and at the same time learns Mongolian history and the history of the Central Plains of China and poetry and songs, she is deeply attracted by the long history of the Central Plains of China and the profound poetry and poetry, and has long wanted to visit the Central Plains of China, There will be no happy result, this relationship is only buried deep in the bottom of the heart, the last time in Anhui Anhui three-way intersection goodbye, although she was in pain, but still forcibly endured, but this time parting again, she can no longer bear the pain in her heart, crying, fortunately, my brother soothed and enlightened, then turned crying into laughter, decided to restore her daughter's body, and Nanxiu Gongzi said goodbye.
Ruolin Yingying smiled, clasped her fists and saluted, "The three village owners drank slowly, and the little sister temporarily retired, and a little thing was delayed for a while. After the ceremony, he turned around and floated away, and Butu hesitated for a moment and hurriedly chased him out.
Jian Nanhong was awakened by a knock on the door, hurriedly turned over and got up, lit the fire knife and flint to light the candlelight, and then opened the door, saw Butu standing at the door, and hurriedly greeted, "Oh, it's Brother Butu, please sit in the room." ”
Butu stood still, suddenly pressed his chest with his hand, bent down and bowed his head to perform a Mongolian etiquette, and then smiled mysteriously, "Your Excellency Nanxiu Gongzi, please accept the resignation given to you by Princess Ruolin, the most splendid pearl of the Northern Desert Grassland!" After speaking, he quickly turned around and left, his behavior and expression were extremely strange.
Jian Nanhong didn't know what he was doing, and was about to raise his hand and open his mouth to stop him, but he saw that there was a sudden light in front of him, and there was a girl in Mongolian costumes standing in the snow at some point.
Jian Nanhong was suspicious of the dream, and couldn't help rubbing her sleepy eyes with her hands, and looked at it again, the girl was still standing alive in the snow, and it was clearly not a dream.
"Nanxiu Gongzi, do you really don't know your little sister?" the girl's cheeks were crimson, her smile was like a flower, and she shouted his name crisply.
Jian Nanhong was shocked, his voice was too familiar with the girl's figure and posture, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while, he boldly stepped forward, looked directly at the girl's face, and tried to search for memory, trying to see who the girl was, the girl's face was as plump as the moon, her eyelashes were thick, her big black eyes were looking at her with affection, her pupils were like round black grapes, and the night was shining brightly, and her glittering jewel pearls were dimmed in front of her bright eyes.
"You are Ruolin's son!" Jian Nanhong finally recognized who she was, obviously seeing that she was dressed as a daughter at this time, she still called her a son out of habit, and it was difficult to change her words for a while.
Ruolin stepped forward and grabbed his hand, tilted her head and whispered in his ear, "Brother Feng, it's all the little sister who is not good, and the brother is so bitter, you also know that it is not convenient for the little sister's daughter to haunt the rivers and lakes, so she has to dress up as a man, and now that the separation is imminent, the little sister will naturally tell the truth, and say goodbye to her brother with her daughter's true body." The voice is soft and sweet, the fragrance is quiet, and the tenderness is still long.
Jian Nanhong was stunned for a while, he didn't know what to say, but his heart was already surging, his feelings were surging like a flood, and memories came one after another, he clearly remembered that when he first met her in Luoyang City, the other party was innocent and lively, and the simple and unrestrained character of the grassland nomad deeply moved him, he liked this white-clothed boy like himself, and later met Luan Tianbao, the enemy who was mistaken for his father-in-law, when he met Luan Tianbao, the enemy who was mistaken for his father-in-law, he was in pain and hesitated, and he had thrown himself into her arms in a small hotel in confusion, her arms were so warm and soft, with a slight fragrance into the nose, and there was a feeling of returning to his mother's arms...... Later, I wanted to stay in her house and sleep with her and have a long conversation all night, but she reacted at the time, and twisted it herself, which was painful, but it was painful and refreshing...... And then when she quarreled with Qu Ling'er, she clearly showed the stinginess of her daughter's family, and now thinking back on these details, they are all daughters' postures, and they all blame themselves for being careless, and they didn't even notice it...... Jian Nanhong recalled that her words and deeds were a little frivolous at the beginning, and she couldn't help blushing.
Ruolin couldn't help but laugh heartily when she saw him blushing, and the laughter resounded like a crisp silver ling in the night sky, which lasted for a long time, and this laughter made people sound exceptionally kind and relaxed.
A burst of melancholy hit his heart, Jian Nanhong felt a faint pain in his chest, he knew that he was about to lose a valuable friend, and he was already a confidant.
"Brother Feng," Ruolin stopped laughing, called him softly again, and whispered softly; In fact, the little sister fell in love at first sight when she saw you for the first time, you are the prince charming in my heart, you are the blue sky and white clouds in my heart, but the little sister understands the reason, and also deeply understands that it is impossible for us to form a branch marriage, because we all have a national mission and morality, we can not give up, this relationship is hidden in the bottom of my heart, although we can not love each other, but the little sister has no regrets, to be able to know such a person as Jian Gongzi, it is the luck of the little sister, there is a happy memory of getting along with the sword child, the wish of this life is enough, the breakup is imminent, the little sister tells the truth, and the sword boy understands the rudeness and straightforwardness of the daughter of the desert grassland。 ”
Jian Nanhong noticed that her eyes were brighter and brighter, that is, her eyes were full of tears, sparkling, but they never fell, Jian Nanhong's heart shook violently, the daughter of the desert grassland loved and hated, broad-minded, and treated each other sincerely, even if they couldn't love each other, but they cherished each other's feelings, in fact, he had lingering feelings for his children, and he had just experienced pain, that Jiangnan' Silver Swallow 'Willow Cicada is so straight and stubborn about love and affection, what moths to the fire, thorn birds are stuck on the thorns, bloody, that is, you can't love each other, you have to die against each other, jade is burned, compared with this desert girl, Liu Chan'er's mind seems so narrow and small......
"Brother Shufeng, hug me," Ruolin closed her eyes, whispered like a dream, and muttered to herself, "After the little sister returns to the Northern Desert this time, she will immediately plunge into the war with the Manchu Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, galloping on the battlefield, I wonder if I can see Brother Shufeng again in this life?"
In front of true love, Jian Nanhong no longer hesitated, hugged Ruolin tightly, warm fragrance and ambiguous jade in her arms, the blood boiled all over her body, and her feelings were like bursting the embankment and rushing peaks, surging and swirling, and in an instant, the snowy night world was discolored, only their sincere friendship was released to the fullest, blending and colliding burst out brilliant sparks of life, blazing in the sky, although short, but beautiful and flawless, at that moment they all dissolved into each other's unforgettable lifelong memories.
"Brother Feng, my little sister doesn't want any promises from you, let alone your oath, there is only one small request, no matter how many years have passed in the future, you can remember your little sister, and the shadow of your little sister will always be in your memory. ”
"Of course, even if one day the student is old and gray, his teeth have fallen out, and he walks with a cane, the student will still remember you and remember the happy days we used to be together......"
After a long time, Ruolin broke free from Jian Nanhong's embrace, bent down and performed a Mongolian etiquette, and said with a smile: "Let my little sister say goodbye to my dear friend with our Mongolian customs!" After speaking, she raised her head, opened her voice, and sang loudly, the singing voice was clear and agitated, high-pitched and expressive, piercing the clouds and cracking stones, wonderful and pleasant, the mountains immediately responded to the four valleys, she sang in Mongolian, Jian Nanhong couldn't understand, but the artistic conception of the melody and melody brought people into a blue sky, white clouds, green grass, herds of cattle and sheep in the endless prairie, which made people feel relaxed and happy, and their thoughts were flying......
The singing gradually faded away, Ruolin sang while slowly leaving, the singing voice slipped from high-pitched to long humming, and the aftermath lingered, adding the pain of lovesickness and nostalgia.
Jian Nanhong didn't know when he had burst into tears, his vision was blurred, his heart turned over the river and the sea, he was full of emotion, he thought that he would definitely not forget this red face in this life, the singing has gone away and stopped, and the song ended with people scattering, leaving only the echo of the mountains and valleys gradually weakening, Jian Nanhong came back to his senses, raised his palms and was about to clap his hands, but unexpectedly, the cottage had already sounded one after another applause and cheers, resounding like thunder, the original night was silent, Ruolin's singing was so loud and high-pitched, and it was the lyrical melody of the grassland, which naturally let every corner of the Beidou Village hear it, and these people in the cottage have never heard such a pleasant and beautiful song, applauded and cheered for a while.
The next day, the sky was just bright, Meng Di, Ruolin and Jian Nanhong, Jiang Shuyuan, Qu Ling'er and others packed up and prepared to start, the three village owners and leaders came to see off respectfully, when Jian Nanhong peeked at Ruolin, she saw that she was still dressed in white men's clothes, her expression was natural, and last night's judgment was like two people, Fang Fo's Mongolian girl last night was not her at all.
Everyone sent out of the gate of the cottage, Gu Shangwu let Hao Yunpeng and the leaders stay to guard the cottage, he himself and the thirteen leopards and a few entourages sent the guests down the mountain, they also specially prepared a tent carriage for Meng Di and others, pulled by two horses, and put the jewelry suitcase in the car, in order not to attract attention on the way, in line with the character of Gu Shangwu and the thirteen leopards, I also wanted to go to Kyoto to watch the excitement of the heroes of Kyoto, but I had to guard against the five heroes of the North Taihang Mountain and the Demon Palace, so I had no choice but to stay and guard the cottage.
At the foot of the mountain, Meng Di and his party persuaded the two village owners to stop for the safety of the cottage, so everyone and the two village owners were reluctant, said goodbye with tears, and left the foot of the main peak of the Beidou Peak.
Running for a while, Jiang Shuyuan, Jian Nanhong, Qu Ling'er and others said goodbye to Meng Di and others, because Meng Di and others had vehicles with them, the speed was slow, and they also had to buy horses in the markets in the northwest of Hebei Province to buy livestock, and recruit the Mongols scattered in the Central Plains to form an army, Jiang Shuyuan, Jian Nanhong and they were worried about the time of the heroes of Kyoto, so they resigned to Meng Di and others, and parted ways, Meng Di and others knew that they still had a moral mission in the rivers and lakes, and the purpose of their trip to the Central Plains had been achieved, and they were still busy, and it was not good to delay them any longer, so they generously agreed。

Jian Nanhong, Jiang Shuyuan, and Qu Ling'er watched the two games in the crowd of the audience, Jiang Shuyuan said lightly, "Not long after the ring competition began, these are second- and third-rate characters, let's wait for two days and come back." ”
Jian Nanhong looked at the Shaolin monks on the ring on the right side of the ring, hesitated, and couldn't help but ask Jiang Shuyuan, "Brother Tai, do you need to meet with the Shaolin monks to facilitate contact with each other?"
Jiang Shuyuan shook his head and said, "This is not the time, seeing each other in such a hurry, I am afraid that it will bring misunderstanding and trouble, Jian Gongzi once fought alone in Shaomu Mountain against their world-famous array." Five Elements Arhat Fuhu Array', although the Shaolin monks worship and admire you, but it is difficult to have a place in their hearts that they are not convinced, especially the chief disciple of the Arhat Hall, although he is young and strong, but he is the grandson of the old abbot of Hongfeng, and he is also gifted and wise, with strong understanding, plus hard work, martial arts cultivation is never under the Yuantong, let's choose another appropriate opportunity to meet more safely, and we don't need to show our faces in front of the heroes of the world so early. ”
A few people left the ring school, and it was already noon when they returned to the inn, Jiang Shuyuan instructed the store to add a few more dishes, and when the warm wine and hot dishes were served, Jiang Shuyuan poured everyone's bowl full of wine, it seemed that he was in a good mood today, he picked up the wine bowl and smiled at everyone; For many days, everyone's mood is boring and irritable, just burying their heads in the road, all the way is really extremely sleepy, in the next is no exception, the mood is melancholy and uncomfortable, alas, in fact, life is fate, those Mongolians we have not been together for a long time, I don't know why they are so tacit with each other, it is like a twenty years of life and death, everyone is separated, it is really difficult to give up, there is a cone like a hidden pain in the heart, after separating each other, I think of each other thousands of miles apart, I don't know when we can get together again? It was even more painful, everything was bleak, lost and empty—but when I arrived at this small inn in Kyoto, my mood suddenly brightened, and the name of this inn was good......!
Qu Ling'er also took a sip of the wine bowl, and asked puzzledly, "Pingju Inn, the guests come in a hurry, hurry away, some guests only stay for one night and leave with their feet raised, everyone is like duckweed, what's the good?"
Jiang Shuyuan glanced at her, put the wine bowl on the table, and explained slowly, "We Jianghu people are like duckweed, if there is fate, everyone will temporarily gather together, and when the torrent storm comes, they will drift with fate, gather and scatter, so this is the fate of the Jianghu people, and there is no need to be depressed and uncomfortable." ”
When he said this, Qu Ling'er couldn't help but nod and agreed, "Brother Prodigal's explanation is also reasonable and thought-provoking, and the name of this Pingju Inn is interesting. ”
Jian Nanhong also took a sip of wine and said with emotion, "In fact, everyone understands the truth of the saying that there is no banquet in the world, but after separating from a good friend, it is difficult to achieve natural calm, are we all temperamental!" Then again, although the heart of missing friends is very sour, but also very sweet, students are inspired by Jiang Brother Tai, let's wait for Kyoto after the matter is over, why not go to the prairie together, one to reunite with Mondy and others again, and the other to see the blue sky, green grassland, listen to the vast and pleasant pastoral songs, open your eyes. ”
Before he finished speaking, Qu Ling'er was the first to clapped her hands and agreed, "Jian Gongzi's proposal is good, the endless grassland, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep, you can imagine how beautiful and charming it is......" Suddenly, she didn't know what she thought, she slapped the table, squinted at Jian Nanhong, and said with a mysterious smile; No, Jian Gongzi is only afraid that the drunkard does not mean to drink, you must want to see Princess Ruolin when you go to the grassland, everyone already knows the personal affairs of the two of you, and this Gongzi also heard Ruolin's singing that night, and also got up and secretly saw Ruolin's daughter's outfit, she is really beautiful, as beautiful as a grassland begonia flower...... Since Jian Gongzi is not interesting to others, he should not have other evil thoughts, and this Gongzi will never allow anyone to bully her!"
Looking at Qu Ling'er's serious appearance as if she was going to fight a duel, Jian Nanhong and Jiang Shuyuan couldn't help laughing, Jiang Shuyuan explained while laughing, "Little brother, this is not a matter of who bullies whom, Princess Ruolin disguises herself as a man and has always had a crush on Jian Gongzi, but she still wants to return to her grassland to save her nation, when parting, she tells her true image to her intended person, confides her love, and buries her feelings in the bottom of her heart, this is the arrogance and generosity of the grassland daughters, they can afford it, they can let it go!"
Qu Ling'er nodded as if she didn't understand, and then smiled; Anyway, Sister Ruolin is a heroine, pure and kind, dare to hate and love, dare to confide in her love to the person she likes, even if the other party does not accept it, she does not have any guilt at all, her mind is really as vast and broad as the grassland, alas, the women of the Central Plains should learn from her, that Sister Liu Chaner is also both civil and military, and has a graceful demeanor, but her heart and eyes are as small as a needle, and she always wants to fight with people if she can't get love. ”
After all, Jian Nanhong grew up in Kyoto in childhood, after ten years, although the capital is more prosperous, but in the end it is still basically familiar with the environment, so he acted as a guide, with Jiang Shu'er, Qu Ling'er and Qu Ling'er's maid maid and maid visited the streets and markets of Kyoto City together, the bustle and noise of Kyoto City, the prosperity is amazing, Jian Nanhong bought some paper money and incense candles in a longevity store, and took everyone to an abandoned manor, the manor is full of ruins, barren grass, a ruin scene, Jian Nanhong lit incense candles in the ruins, and knelt down on his knees, bowed deeply, and then slowly burned the paper money.
Jiang long-cherished wish, Qu Ling'er knew that this was once the home of raising Jian Nanhong and his father-in-law, and the two of them also stepped forward to light incense and bow down, burn paper money, and pay tribute to the deceased.
Jiannan Hongfeng's eyes were full of tears, looking at the sky and worshipping, and he appealed in a deep voice, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, brothers and sisters, you have spirits in the sky, unfilial children Nanhong has been around for ten years, and today I finally came back to see you, the eunuchs who killed you back then have been punished by the laws of the imperial court, and you should also look at Jiuquan......" Here was once the site of the famous Kyoto Fengyun First Dart Bureau, Jian Nanhong's father-in-law Fengyun First Dart Bureau Master is also a well-known hero of the six northern provinces, liver and gallbladder cover the sky, is a big banner in the North Martial Arts, he is generous and upright, righteous thin clouds, peach and plum all over the world, the business of the dart bureau was booming, the black and white characters of the rivers and lakes gave him a little face, even the six departments of the imperial cabinet and the local governor have a huge amount of silver dispatch and tax silver, or the valuable jewelry given to each other by private individuals are handed over to him to escort the dart bureau, for a time also aroused the jealousy of his peers, plus he himself is jealous and hateful, often chivalrous and righteous to take care of injustice, and made a lot of enemiesWhen Emperor Xizong ascended the throne, he was appointed as a great eunuch of the Si Li Bingpen, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and he was named nine thousand years oldIn case of resistance, not to mention killing, Jinyiwei and Jiumen Catch Kuai were ordered to quickly surround the first dart bureau of Fengyun, Luan Tianbao is also in the fast catch, Jian Nanhong's father-in-law knows that the eunuch's methods are cruel and vicious, and it is difficult to save his life, and he is not willing to be humiliated by it, so he resists, when there are few people left in his wife and children and the dart bureau, and there is no hope of breaking through, he deliberately died under the ruler chain of his friend Luan Tianbao......
Seeing the former homeland, the father-in-law, the mother-in-law, the elder brothers and sisters and those dart heads, the faces of the dart master and the executioner all appeared in front of him, vividly, Fang Buddha was like yesterday, Jian Nanhong was very sad, he couldn't cry for a long time, Jiang long-cherished wish, Qu Ling'er was afraid that he would hurt his body due to excessive grief, so he hurriedly forcibly helped and persuaded him to help him on the back of the horse and leave.
After walking a distance, Jian Nanhong's mood also recovered, and Qu Ling'er suddenly asked, "Brother Feng, this is your father-in-law's home, so who are your biological parents?
Jian Nanhong slowed down his mount, looked up at the sky and sighed deeply, and replied helplessly; Alas, since the student can remember growing up in the father's house, the father-in-law once told the student to practice martial arts well, and when the student grows up to the age of fifteen or sixteen, then tell the student's life, but unfortunately the father-in-law died suddenly, failed to tell the student in detail, remember that the stepmother once told the student, saying that the father-in-law once went south to escort the dart back on the way, picked up a two- or three-year-old boy, that is, the student, the father-in-law's dart business is only in the north, generally not in the south, can not bear the hard entrustment of friends, only to make an exception to the south, but also the student and the father-in-law's fate, the mother told the student that the clothes the student was wearing at that time were silk and satin, should be the son of a large official eunuch, but there is no explanation of his life on his body, it may be that the eunuch family who suffered from the unjust case of the imperial court, on the way to the escort of the side plug, the parents secretly gave up their son, and there is no explanation of the birth line, that is, the parents just want him to be picked up by ordinary people, be an ordinary person, and do not take revenge, so the student's life will always become a mystery...... Alas, how many unjust cases have been caused by this dynasty, so that the whole world is full of resentment......" Speaking of this, he said to Qu Ling'er, "Isn't what happened to Ling Zun also caused by unjust cases?"
Qu Ling'er also sighed and said, "Who said no, I hope that the current Holy Emperor can work hard to punish those traitorous officials and avoid the recurrence of these unjust cases." ”
Jian Nanhong exhaled a long breath and said, "So the world needs a Ming Jun, and it also needs some upright and unyielding Qing officials, so that the world will be truly peaceful." ”
When I returned to the inn, it was already dark, and there were candles and lanterns everywhere, and the shopkeeper saw the guests coming back, and greeted him with enthusiasm, "A few masters have a good time! There is a friend here who has been waiting for you for a long time." With that, he pointed to the corner of the store with his hand.
