Chapter 20 The Son of Heaven
This is still Yancheng, but it is far away from the sea field, and this place is dominated by antique porcelain and satin cloth. The people who bought and sold at night had already rested, and there were only a few people on the street, probably all of them Northwest soldiers. Lu Yunli found the Quartet Inn in the night, he didn't feel sleepy, he lay on the bed and looked at the beam, and his thoughts revolved around Wu Xiaofei.
Lu Yunli got up at dawn, washed up, ate breakfast, and went straight to the sea. I picked two stores with a lot of goods, and discussed with the shopkeeper to send the freshest goods to Bingma County, and explained that the emperor of Jincheng wanted to eat, if he ate bad, he would kill his head, and if he ate well, he would reward you with a thousand taels of silver. The shopkeeper nodded again and again, promising that it would be fresh, and organized to load the truck and transport it to Bingma County. Turned around and went to Xianjulai, went straight to the back kitchen, found the two best chefs inside, and forcibly brought them to Bingma County under the order of King Beiling.
It was already dark all the way to the Beiling Palace, and Lu Yunli reported to the King of Beiling first, seeing that the King of Beiling looked much better, and he could already walk with the support. After the report, more than a dozen people were called to keep the raw ones alive in the seawater, and the dead ones were carried to the ice cellar for refrigeration.
After finishing the work, I settled the money of the two fresh food shop owners, found two rooms in the palace, cleaned and settled the two chefs. After all this was done, it was already late at night, I went to look for Hua Feihua, knocked on the door, and no one responded inside. With a slight push of the door, there was no one in the house, Lu Yunli went to Tian Zihua to look for it, and it was dark there. Lu Yun thought, "Where else can you go if you don't have flowers?"
In the silent night, a person came, Lu Yunli heard the footsteps, flashed to the back of the house, and saw through the moonlight that the person walking was Hua Feihua. I saw Hua Feihua walk to the tomb of Tian Zihua and his wife, stand for a while, turn around and walk to the opposite clearing, holding a wooden sword in his hand, dancing in this clearing. Sometimes attacking, sometimes retreating, the flexible pace of Lu Yun centrifugal applause.
After a set of swordsmanship, Hua Feihua sat cross-legged on the ground and sat quietly, as if he was recuperating his spirits, but he was actually practicing qi. Lu Yunli has been looking at Hua Feihua from the back of the house, and understands that he has been practicing every night all these years, and he looks weak during the day, and he is indeed in a posture of killing gods at night.
Lu Yunli didn't want to disturb Hua Feihua, so he simply sat down cross-legged, but he didn't practice qi like Hua Feihua, and he fell asleep leaning against the wall for a while.
In the morning, Hua Feihua made porridge in the house, bought some flatbread and pickles on the street, and kicked Lu Yunli with his foot behind the detour. Lu Yunli's hazy eyes opened, and he saw Hua Feihua looking at him with a smile on his face, and asked, "How do you know that I am hiding here?"
Hua Feihua still had that smiling face and said: "Mouth chirp, talk in dreams, I'm not deaf, I can't hear, get up and go into the house to eat something." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled Lu Yunli up.
Lu Yunli followed into the house, he was already hungry at this time, and he ate three flatbreads and drank a big bowl of porridge, feeling full.
The two returned to the palace to discuss with the king of Beiling the deployment of the emperor of Jincheng in the past few days, and learned that of the 50,000 soldiers brought by the king of Beiling in the last battle of Yancheng, only one hundred and ten ran back, and the rest were either killed in battle or prisoners of war.
An Ran waited until the twenty-eighth day, the Jincheng Tianzi Brigade passed through Yancheng, did not enter the city, only set up palaces outside the city to live, the king of Beiling at this time early led all the army of 50,000 people to wait in the palace outside Yancheng, to prevent the northwest army of Wutian from defending to the death.
I saw a golden light covering the sun in the distance, like a golden dragon lying on the ground. At this time, the king of Beiling was very worried that the Northwest Army would suddenly kill out of nowhere, and he was uneasy in his heart. Watching the team of the Son of Heaven of Jincheng come closer, there was no shadow of anyone rushing over, and the King of Beiling was a little relieved.
There are twenty caravans of the Son of Heaven in Jincheng alone, these twenty cars are all exactly the same, with a wide golden appearance, each car is pulled by eight tall horses wearing gold armor, and even the people who drive the cars are fully armed in gold armor, and the four corners of each car are standing heavily armed guards staring at their direction. At the front of the procession, riding a black horse, shirtless, dark-skinned and strong, with a pair of eagle eyes constantly looking around, any noise around him could be detected. On the saddle behind him was a one-man tall Golden Dragon Glaive Knife, showing its domineering majesty. This person is Lan Ji, one of the Yongping Twin Stars, the general of the court, and the defenders of the eight directions must be at his disposal.
The King of Beiling greeted him with a full face of compliment, and said to Lan Ji: "The general has worked hard to protect the Son of Heaven all the way, I have prepared a banquet here, I don't know which car the Son of Heaven is in? ”
I saw that the twenty carts were in unison, slowly driving to the gate of the palace, the first one passed, without stopping, the second passed again, and a beautiful woman stood on the side. After seven cars in a row, some of the glamorous women were the concubines of the Son of Jincheng, and some did not stop, until the eighth car stopped at the door, and immediately someone jumped out of the car, curled up, kneeling under the door of the carriage, the glamorous women quickly ran to both sides of the door to wait, a fat hand stretched out the car door, and several women reached out to help. I saw that this person had a fat head and big ears, a pair of eyes had been squeezed into a slit by the fat on his face, he was already obese in his twenties, and the fat body was wearing extremely luxurious clothes, without too much decoration, and he staggered down, stepping on the person who was crouching under the car as a footstool, and the weight of this foot was only known to the person who was crouching on the ground, this person was Liang Taiyun, the son of Jincheng.
Lu Yunli only watched from a distance, seeing such a bloated person, he must be a lazy and extremely indulgent faint king. Thinking in his heart, his eyes saw two strange rings on Liang Taiyun's left middle finger and index finger.
When the king of Beiling saw the son of Jincheng get out of the carriage, he hurriedly greeted him, knelt down and said: "The saint has worked hard all the way, and the minister has prepared some fruits and delicacies here to catch the wind and wash the dust for the saint." ”
Liang Taiyun said: "This time I came to pacify the Blue Wolf Country, I already knew that you fought with Wu Tian, a traitor, and I knew it in my heart that you were loyal to me. ”
King Beiling thought that this matter would not be known by the Son of Heaven of Jincheng, but he did not expect that he would still know, a little ashamed, the Son of Heaven of Jincheng saw the ashamed expression of King Beiling and said: "That is just an ambush of the traitor Wu Tian, if the real sword soldiers meet, he may not be your opponent of the King of Beiling." These few words brought back a lot of face to King Beiling in front of many ministers, and made King Beiling even more grateful.
The king of Beiling let Liang Taiyun take the upper seat, and he and Lan Ji sat on the left and right sides respectively, accompanied each other, and laughed for a long time, during which the emperor of Jincheng only ate a little fruit, and then got into another carriage and continued to walk towards Bingma County.
It wasn't until Bingma County that the King of Beiling put down the heart hanging in his throat, the interior of the palace had already been tied, the huge central hall was filled with all kinds of delicious dishes, the Son of Jincheng was helped into the center of the hall and sat down, a beautiful concubine on the left and right, Lan Ji and the King of Beiling still sat on both sides to accompany each other.
In the open space opposite the hall, a hundred-member band played, and as the music sounded, ten fairy-like women twisted their waists and walked in with small steps. The dancers bowed to the Son of Kinjo, and then followed the music to relax their long sleeves, slender feet, slender waists rotated with the music, turning faster and faster, and the wide cuffs were like butterfly wings, with the whole person as if flying.
The Son of Heaven praised loudly, not that he had never seen such a good dance, but that the thirty days on the road were really boring. When King Beiling saw the praise of the Son of Heaven, he slowly let go of his restrained heart, and changed the cup with the Son of Heaven of Jincheng and the civil and military officials he brought. First, he toasted to the Son of Heaven in Jincheng, and said all the compliments such as the Holy Lord. After saluting the Son of Heaven, he began to toast with the accompanying officials, and the scene was extremely lively.
Lu Yunli didn't like this kind of occasion, nor did he like these utilitarian people, so he quietly retreated, looking for flowers and flowers, but he couldn't find them anywhere. Seeing Yiyan walking to the backyard of the palace with a bucket of water in both hands, Lu Yunli wanted to go up to help, but before he remembered it, he held his footsteps, but waved his hand to Yiyan from a distance, turned around and continued to look for flowers and non-flowers.
I only felt that Hua Feihua seemed to be avoiding him, and the entire palace had found all the places that could be found, and there was no trace of it. In desperation, I returned to the central hall, and I could hear the lively shouting, singing and dancing inside. Lu Yunli was already bored before he walked in, and he changed his route to the direction of the shark's corner tower on the east wall, and after a few steps, he saw the general Lan Ji sitting on the top of the rockery in front of him, which was as high as a three-story building, and was the highest rockery in the palace. Lan Ji looked up at the sky, holding a pot of wine in his hand, and he didn't drink it, but just looked up and was distracted. Lu Yunli looked at this great general like a rhinoceros looking at the moon, and his sturdy figure looked more powerful in the moonlight than in the daytime.
Lan Ji looked at the sky and was distracted, Lu Yunli looked at Lan Ji distracted, thinking in his heart, "Such a brave person is by the side of the Son of Heaven in Jincheng, how can I do it, and I can retreat with my whole body." Thinking about it, Lan Jiyi found Lu Yunli, jumped off the rockery with a flying jump, and just stood opposite Lu Yunli, Lu Yunli immediately woke up from his thoughts, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "The general is very skilled." ”
Lan Ji: "The sky in the north is much wider than that in Jincheng, and you can see countless stars here, but in Jincheng, the high-walled compound, the sky you see is all square, far less vast and heroic here. ”
Lu Yunli heard the meaning of Lan Ji's words, probably because he didn't want to stay in Jincheng and have nothing to do all day long, but that his husband would definitely gallop across the field. I understood it in my heart, but in order not to be noticed by Lan Ji, he said: "The eldest husband is ambitious in all directions, but you have already achieved success enough, general, and this time you have led the elite soldiers to smash the blue wolf, and such feats will be recited through the ages." ”
Lan Ji was complimenting when he heard this, he thought that the person in front of him who didn't want to drink with the crowd must be a person with arrogance, but he didn't expect that he was also a villain who only had a flattering heart, so he didn't say much, and left with his body dangling.
