PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "Starting Point" 515 Fan Festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel down and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

At this time, on the third floor of Laifeng Building, the largest restaurant in Xuzhou, a man and a woman are drinking by the window, exploring the history of this ancient city. Xuzhou is one www.biquge.info of the nine states in China in history, and has been the key to the north since ancient times, the gateway to the south, the place where soldiers must fight and the center where merchants gather. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Sun Quan, the Emperor of Wu, Liu Yu, the Emperor Wu of the Southern Dynasty, Xiao Daocheng, the Emperor of Qi Gao of the Southern Dynasty, and Xiao Yan, the Emperor of Liang Wu of the Southern Dynasty, were all the founding emperors who came out of Xuzhou, so they were called the "enclaves of the ancient dragon".

When the world came, Xuzhou's festival envoy was Shi Pu. This person is good at scheming, when he was a general, when Jiedu made Zhixiang send Shi Pu to lead the soldiers into the pass to suppress the Huangchao rebel army, he went to the Heyin area, and after instigating the sergeants to mutiny, he returned to Xuzhou, drove away Zhixiang, and was pushed to stay in the Jiedu, and was officially awarded the Jiedu envoy. Because it is an important place for soldiers, although the battle situation outside is strife, it is heavily guarded and the soldiers have sufficient food, so there is a rare comfort here. Wine shop singing and dancing, paper drunk fans, **** era, it seems that people want to seize this moment of pleasure more.

Although there were many battles on the way here, and they encountered robberies and bandits several times, it was not a problem for Qin Chaoyun and Sui Baishan, the real problem was that they had been here for some days, and they couldn't find out any news about the Gu family brothers. At this moment, I was asking for some wine and food on the Fenglou in my spare time, chatting about the current situation and the latest situation in martial arts.

As soon as I chatted a few words, I heard an old man in his fifties slowly walking up from the corner of the stairs, although he was dressed in coarse cloth and a little old, but he was cleanly washed, his face was tired, he was holding a few pieces of bamboo in his hand, bending over, asking a few diners if he wanted to order the latest "talk". "Speaking" is a special name for artists in the Tang Dynasty to tell stories, mostly poems, songs, and songs of the latest celebrities in the world, mainly based on historical and current affairs, all by eloquence, and some have to sing. The diners on the third floor, although there is no shortage of rewards, have always liked to hear about popular happy events, but the current situation is turbulent, the war is continuous, and what mood do they have to listen to a "talk", the so-called latest "talk" is just a tragic opportunity. The old artist, who also knew that he was bored, turned around and walked down tremblingly.

At this time, Sui Baishan stopped him, and before he could ask, he first stuffed a few pieces of broken silver into his hand and said, "Old man, you can say a paragraph and relieve our boredom." The old man seemed to be surprised that there was too much silver, but when he saw Sui Baishan's sincere face, he said with surprise: "Okay, okay, I don't know what this master wants to hear." Sui Baishan said: "Listen to this old man, he is not a local. Let's just say the latest "talk" you just mentioned. The old man said with a little joy: "Little Lao'er was originally a person from Chang'an, only because after the defeat of the Yellow Thief, he fled from Chang'an in a hurry, and I finally escaped after being trapped for a few years, but unfortunately the prosperous imperial capital for thousands of years was finally burned by this Yellow Thief, which makes people resentful." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about the color of others, but he rapped with a slightly hoarse voice, and it turned out to be a new song of Wei Zhuang, "Qin Women's Yin", just listen to him:

"In March, the flowers outside Luoyang City are like snow. The east, west, north and south passers-by are desperate, and the green poplars are quietly fragrant. On the side of the road, I suddenly saw people like flowers, resting alone in the shade of green poplars. The phoenix side is slanted with sideburns, and the red eyebrows are folded. By asking where the girl came from? Turning around and thanking the pedestrians, how can it be said that the funeral drift is gone! After three years of being trapped in Qin, he still vaguely remembers the events in Qinzhong. Jun can untie the golden saddle for the concubine, and the concubine also stops the jade toe with the king"

Qin Chaoyun listened to it for a while and then whispered to Sui Baishan: "It's Wei Zhuang's "Qin Women's Yin", a new word that has just come out, it is very hot, I just wrote down a little bit, I didn't expect to hear the whole article here." Sui Baishan nodded yes.

I only heard the old man continue: "Every family is bleeding like a spring, and there are voices of injustice everywhere. Maiko singers donate all their secrets, and babies and girls are abandoned. There is a new painting of female eyebrows in the east, and the country and the city do not know the price. Changge hugged the car, looking back at the boudoir with tears in his eyes. Spin the gold thread to learn to sew the flag, and then go to the carving saddle to teach the horse. Sometimes I see my lover immediately, and I dare not look back and cry, and there are Jurchen fairies in the west, and an inch of horizontal waves cut autumn water. Makeup is only in the mirror in the spring, young and don't know what to do outside the door. Kazuo jumped up the golden steps, slanting half of his shoulders and wanting to be ashamed. The clothes refused to go out of the Zhu Gate, and the red pink balsam knife died. There is a woman in the south who does not remember her surname, and yesterday the good media hired her. The glass steps are not heard, and the jade curtains are empty. Suddenly saw the sound of the blade in the court, and his body was fragmented. Raising his face to the sky and crying, the female brothers and sisters entered the well together; the young women in the north urged each other, and swirled and dismantled the clouds and wiped their eyebrows. I have heard that I have broken the high door, and I don't feel that I am climbing to the heavy house. Suddenly the fire came from all sides, and he wanted to go down the ladder and destroy it. The smoke shouted for help, and the corpses hanging on the beams were already ashes. The concubine was fortunate to have a full knife saw, and she didn't dare to hesitate to look back for a long time. The comb of the cicada sideburns marched after the army, and forcibly showed the moth eyebrows and went out. The old Li is not allowed to return, and the six people are nowhere to be found. ”

At first, the diners upstairs still disdained the old man's words, but as the words and context turned sad, they all turned their heads sideways, attracted by the old man's "speech", and were also saddened by the tragedy of the characters in the words.

When the concubine heard this old sad words, she dried up her tears like rain. When I went out, I only saw the sound of chaos, and I wanted to go east, where did I still hear that the Bianlu boat was desperate, and he said that Pengmen killed each other. The wilderness sells the soul of the warrior, and Hejin is half the blood of the wronged. It is appropriate to hear that there are guests in Jinling, and it is said that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is different. Since Da Kou invaded the Central Plains, Rong Ma has never given birth to four contempts. Punishment and theft are like miracles, and love living beings is like a child. The city moat is solid and the protection of the religion {斆, 敩, effect} golden soup, and the tax is like a cloud to send the military base. However, the four seas are surging, and the situation is as peaceful as a rock. The refuge is a subordinate, but Huai'an envies the ghosts of Jiangnan. May the king lift the east and restore the east, and sing this long song to the public. ”

After the old man finished saying this song "Qin Women's Yin", he was already full of tears, and a few diners who looked like a prince in the room also came out of the artistic conception of this poem, rewarded some broken silver and asked: "I didn't expect to hear the new words of Duanji here, but it is so heartbreaking." Even if you escaped from Chang'an, tell me about the situation in Chang'an, and listen to the old man's words of hatred for Huang Chaojun, is it true that everything in the words is true, I only say that the words are exaggerated, and there are many untruths. The old man sneered, "But there is something untrue, but the truth is many times more tragic than what is stated in this word." Everyone exhaled in surprise.

The old man continued: "Although the author of this poem was in Chang'an City at the time, he was a person with a career in office, and the misery he saw was only occasional, and the real tragedy could not be glimpsed in its entirety. And we, the lowly people of the market, are in purgatory every day. Families shed blood, grievances everywhere, and girls and children were all abandoned. The Yellow Thieves took all the gold, silver and wealth, and even for a string of beads, they could make people corpses in the streets and alleys. ”

Seeing the incredulous expressions on everyone's faces, the old man continued: "This Huang Chao was originally a Confucian student, born in a family that made a fortune by trafficking in illicit salt, but he was interested in a career, but he failed in the imperial examinations many times. So he hated the court very much, and later, the private salt business was finally seized by the court, so he scattered his family wealth and joined Wang Xianzhi's righteous army. At that time, the righteous army could still be called a benevolent army to save us toiling people. But soon, Wang Xianzhi was killed, and this yellow thief actually claimed to be a general who rushed to the sky, and his temperament was also perverse. I heard that from the time he raised the army to the time he became emperor in Chang'an, he begged for officials from the Tang Dynasty five times before and after, an average of once a year. What kind of savior are these people? ”

At this moment, the third floor was quiet, and everyone looked at the old man and listened to him speak in a low voice: "I heard that the year before the capture of Chang'an, he also looted goods in the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion, slaughtered hundreds of thousands of believers and civilians, and when he arrived in Chang'an, he indulged in the palace of drunkenness and gold, and lived a life of lewd pleasure. Some Confucian poems ridiculed, because the author could not find out that he simply beheaded more than 3,000 innocent Confucian scholars in Chang'an City. It was the first time that everyone here had heard such a bloody thing, and for a moment they were all exhaling in fright.

The old man continued: "At that time, the soldiers of the yellow thieves were like robbers with open fires and rods, killing people and stealing goods on the streets of Chang'an, competing for beautiful women, beating civilians, and harassing people everywhere. A few months later, there was a food shortage, and the city of Chang'an was in chaos. There was a small force of imperial army and took advantage of the chaos to attack the city, and the yellow thief was weak at that time and fled from the city with a few followers. Originally, we hated the court where the people of fish and meat paid taxes excessively. However, after the imperial army entered the city this time, we, the common people, welcomed it all in the way. When the yellow thief arrived outside the city and settled down, he found that the number of imperial troops entering the city was very small, and he immediately counterattacked and entered the city. The yellow thieves who came back hated us for welcoming the imperial army, and actually ordered the slaughter of the city. Kill the men in the city to their heart's content, and wash Chang'an City in blood, so that Chang'an City, which has been populated for thousands of years, has become an empty city. My children and grandchildren were beaten to death by this thief. The daughter-in-law and mother-in-law were also humiliated to death by the soldiers of the yellow thieves after they went out on the street. At this point, the old man's gray eyes had long been darkened, and even his tears had dried up.

Everyone was contemplating with sad faces, as if they had seen the tragic situation in Chang'an at that time, and everyone was panicked and unspeakably blocked.

The old man seemed to be dead, and still said sadly: "Later, the imperial court borrowed Shatuo soldiers to assist in the siege of the city, and more than 10,000 Shatuo soldiers fought against more than 100,000 yellow thieves. But when he escaped from Chang'an, he actually ordered arson. This thousand-year-old ancient capital, a city with a population of one million, was burned to ashes, completely erasing traces from history. During the Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan did not destroy Chang'an, and when the Tufan people invaded Chang'an, the urban area was only slightly damaged, and the only one who dared to risk the world's condemnation to completely destroy Chang'an was this yellow thief. The old man gritted his teeth and counted the evil deeds of the Yellow Nest, and the hatred seemed to be even more painful.

Qin Chaoyun asked in confusion: "Listening to the old man's conversation, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary white ding. The old man came back to his senses from the painful memories and said: "When the little old man was young, he also took several imperial examinations, although he also failed many times, but he knew that the number of fortunes was like this, and it was useless to force it. Later, after several twists and turns in life, he relied on the line of "talking" to make a living so far, but it is just the worry of the family and the country, and the husband is responsible. Qin Chaoyun sighed, knowing that since ancient times, although the literati were weak, their backbone was the hardest.

At this time, several diners on the third floor were already looking at the old man intently, and they were also very sorry for what happened to the old man, but they also admired the old man's backbone. Especially those people who looked like a public person, they were even more willing to accept it, asked the old man about the situation in the past, and gave the old man some silver again, and asked where the old man would settle down next. The old man said: "I have a younger brother in Chenzhou, not far from here, I originally wanted to go to him, but the road is not very smooth, I don't hesitate to die, but I am old and miss my relatives, and I will be blind to see him before entering the earth." ”

Now these ministers are embarrassed, they are not short of silver taels, but in this chaotic and rampant territory, they themselves are too busy to take care of themselves, let alone to help this old man.

Sui Baishan looked at Qin Chaoyun inquiringly, Qin Chaoyun understood that he wanted to escort this old man. Although it is none of his business, he knows the honest and honest character of Sui Baishan, not to mention that there is no progress here now, and it won't take much time to go back quickly when he goes to Chenzhou, so he finally nodded.

Sui Baishan smiled happily, and then said to the old man: "Old man, let's escort you to Chenzhou." At this moment, the diners on the third floor, including those few Xianggong, were all surprised, but after carefully examining these two people, they saw that both of them were dressed in strong clothes and equipped with swords, knowing that they must be high-rollers in the rivers and lakes, they were no longer surprised, and the old man bowed down to thank him.

The three of them came out of Fenglou, Sui Baishan bought another batch of fast horses, and the three of them immediately went out of the city and headed for Chenzhou, from Xuzhou to Chenzhou it was more than 500 miles, and they could reach it in almost a day without stopping. It's just that the road is very uneven, and there are indeed small bandits in the middle, but they were all sent away by Sui Baishan and Qin Chaoyun, but the old man was scared enough, although he had experienced life and death, but when he saw the two of them with a knife bandit, it was as easy as cutting cabbage, and he was still speechless. In this way, he hurried almost non-stop, and finally entered Chenzhou City at nightfall.

After settling down the old man who was grateful for a thousand thanks, the two of them casually found a hotel to rest, although they had been together for several months, and they had secretly settled down, but the two of them were still polite and self-controlled, which Qin Chaoyun was very pleased with. Sui Baishan slept very well, and then woke up at the end of the day, just after washing, he heard a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, it was Qin Chaoyunjiao who smiled and waited for the noodles to come in. Sui Baishan's heart is very warm, since he walked the rivers and lakes, he has always been sleeping in the open air, when to have this beautiful woman to accompany him, serving food and lodging. Looking at Qin Chaoyun's flower-like smile, he was actually moved. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a warning gong in the city, and the two hurriedly went out to check, only to see that the merchants were closed and the street stalls were closed. The two of them hurried to the city gate, and saw that the soldiers were on guard, and the gate was closed. After inquiry, I learned that after Huang Chao's forward general Meng Kai led 10,000 people to capture and force Caizhou to surrender, he was now heading towards this Chenzhou, and he was about to arrive in a moment.
