11. Cut the plum: The first dream is sleepy
Time flies, time is like an arrow, since Zhou Xingtian left Yangzhou, nine years have passed.
Under the setting sun, on the winding mountain road, four horses galloped past, and the sound of horses' hooves was so loud and strong that they broke through the woods in a blink of an eye. Although the horse galloped quickly, the knight's body was stable, not at all cramped and flustered, and the riding skills were exquisite, which can be seen.
They came to a hillside and looked at the distant scenery, but they were silent, as if they were reminiscing about the past.
Among the four people, the leader is Chang Hai, standing next to him Lu Yao, light shirt, and a young man with a handsome appearance, wearing a green jade robe, rich as jade, eyes like a star, it is the forced rain that has grown up.
Chang Hai said: "I don't know where Lord Li is now? These court dog officials are really hateful. He sighed.
Lu Yao frowned, and said hatefully: "This treacherous minister Jia seems to be stupid and treacherous, bringing disaster to the country and the people, not only shielding the generals of the defeated army and concealing the military situation, but also beating a rake and framing our Lord Li, alas, we have been away for more than a year, and I don't know what Yangzhou City has become?"
It turned out that in the past few years, the military situation in Fancheng in Xiangyang has become more and more urgent, and the imperial court ordered Li Tingzhi to enter Xiangyang, who knew that the general Fan Wenhu colluded with Jia Nidao, did not listen to Li Tingzhi's orders, marched slowly, delayed the fighters, and even had fun every day, and finally fled without a fight. Chang Hai, Qingyi and Lu Yao were disheartened, and went to Jingkou with Li Tingzhi, and when Li Tingzhi settled down, they went to the main altar of Xiaoyao Palace with forced rain, looking for Zhou Xingtian's traces, and at the same time meeting the envoys and elders.
They did not meet Zhou Xingtian, but lived in the Xiaoyao Palace for a year, one day, suddenly received a carrier pigeon with iron salt, the letter said that Li Tingzhi had been given another important task by the imperial court, and was about to return to Yangzhou, the four of them were overjoyed, so they traveled day and night, and hurried to meet Li Tingzhi.
The four of them sighed with emotion, and continued to urge their horses forward, and after a short time they came to a clear lake, and when they saw that it was getting dark, they stopped their horses, and planned to rest by the lake for the night, and then continue their journey early tomorrow morning.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of galloping horses in the distance, the sound was noisy, roughly calculated, there were about dozens of horses galloping, Lu Yao became alert, carried out light work, jumped on a big tree, only to see that on the mountain road, a row of knights holding torches, writhing like a fire snake to hurry, he looked at it for a while, and suddenly recognized one of the riders, he jumped off the tree, and said happily: "Guess who is coming?"
Chang Hai said: "Lord Li Tingzhi?" said lightly: "Isn't it Senior Brother Weishan?"
Lu Yao smiled and glanced at the forced rain and said, "Xiaoyu guess?"
Seeing his expression, Forced Rain shouted happily: "Is the goshawk coming?"
Lu Yao laughed and said, "You two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, and in the past few months, you are only afraid that you will also have the shadow of a goshawk in your dreams." ”
Forced Yu hehe, scratched his head, and said, "I haven't seen you for more than a year, and he doesn't know if his temper is calmer?"
Qingyi pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "If there is really any dream person in the rain, it will definitely not be a goshawk." I think it's Lord Li's eldest lady, who comes and goes frequently in the dream of forced rain, and she can't go back. ”
Qi Yudeng's face was flushed, and he shouted: "Senior sister, don't talk nonsense, why do I miss Yun and sister?"
Chang Hai heard the sound of horses' hooves to the left, suddenly looking up to the sky and roaring, the sound was like a dragon's chant, it seemed to go straight to the nine heavens, these nine years, Chang Hai marched and fought, concentrated on martial arts, as if he had opened his mind all at once, and his skills improved by leaps and bounds, far better than the rest of the same door. When he was in Xiaoyao Palace, even the Yang Wuyan Sect Master and the right envoy of Zhang Axe Mountain were full of praise for his kung fu and favored him. If he came to compete with Ouyang Chong, the old man of the Heavenly Vein, again today, he was afraid that within a few hundred moves, he would never be easily defeated.
The whistling sound was like thunder far away, and unless the goshawks were all deaf, they would never hear it. Sure enough, the distant firelight turned around in an instant, rushing towards the place where they were stationed, and in an instant they came closer.
At the forefront was a young man with a delicate face and a brave bearing, he was about fourteen years old, wearing black light armor, and when he saw the four of them, he shouted: "You are back, you want to kill me!"
Forcing the rain with a smile on his face, he was about to say hello, but he saw the goshawk non-stop, and rushed straight towards him, the rain was coming, screamed, turned his head and ran, the goshawk stood on the horse, came to a trick hungry tiger pounced, instantly hugged the belly of the rain, plopped, and the two fell into the lake together.
Qingshan laughed and said: "I haven't seen you for two years, I haven't grown at all, and I still like to play so much! ”
The lake exploded, there was a loud noise, only to hear the goshawk screaming miserably, pushed out of the water by a huge force, turned in circles, sat on the ground with a butt, he grinned in pain, kept touching his buttocks with his palms, and scolded in his mouth: "Stinky Xiaoyu, I'm joking with you, you are actually fighting with me!"
Forced the rain to get wet out of the water, and said angrily: "Fight is trouble, what are you doing without my clothes?"
Seeing that he was angry, the goshawk also showed a fierce expression, and shouted: "I see that you haven't seen this kid for a year, and you have become a girl, you must have been damaged by the senior sister in a light shirt, and you are dressed like a gentleman, I see it in my eyes, and I am angry in my heart." ”
Qingshan chirped: "The two of you quarrel, don't involve the senior sister." ”
The goshawk didn't dare to bump into the light shirt, his nose whirred, staring at the forced rain, suddenly, the two laughed at the same time, slowly stepped forward, hugged together, the goshawk cried: "Xiaoyu, you are working harder than before." With you here, Master Li is also back, and Yangzhou City will return to its old ways. ”
Forced Yu to pat the goshawk on the shoulder and said, "What about you, you are crying and making trouble yourself, aren't you a mother?" Although he said angry words, his own eyes were red.
Goshawk and Qiyu cried and laughed for a while, and hurriedly visited their senior brothers and sisters, and introduced the rest of their companions for them. There were a total of twenty people who came, and the leader was a school captain named Miao Cheng, who was also Li Tingzhi's old subordinate. They knew that the city of Yangzhou had not been peaceful recently, and there were many bandits wandering, and Li Tingzhi came here from Beijing, the road was far away, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he specially came here to respond.
Miao Chengxi said: "Lord Chang Hai, Lord Lu Yao, Lord Light Shirt, Master Forced Rain, don't come unharmed, I came to pick up Lord Li on the order of General Weishan, and it is a great thing to meet you here." ”
Chang Hai nodded and said, "Now that he has become the general of Weishan, how is he doing in Weishan?"
Miao Cheng pushed the goshawk and said, "Little eaglet, you come." ”
Goshawk laughed and said: "Although the previous envoy didn't have any skills, he didn't toss around, he reused Lord Li's officers, senior brother and master, he was promoted all the way, and now he is a commander who is not big or small." ”
Lu Yao asked, "Why do you call him Senior Brother Master?"
Miao Cheng touched his beard and said with a smile: "Xiaoying is ingenious, saying that General Weishan is his senior brother and the master who taught him kung fu, so he calls him 'senior brother master'." ”
Qingyi Wan'er smiled: "You naughty child, as always, always do some inexplicable things. ”
The goshawk didn't finish speaking, he was holding back a lot, and at this moment, seeing that everyone was no longer interrupting, he said loudly: "Also, also, senior brother and master, he is married, and now my sister-in-law is pregnant with a doll." ”
Chang Hai let out an "oh" and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that among our brothers, he was the most promising, and in just one year, he had already started a family." Although there was joy in his words, the goshawk faintly sensed a trace of inexplicable sadness, but this sadness was fleeting, and he didn't care.
The light shirt was silent for a moment, squeezed out a smile, and asked, "Whose girl is so blessed to marry our Weishan General?"
The goshawk was full of ambition and said, "If you want to talk about this, it's all my credit." A year ago, when General Jiang Hong celebrated his 60th birthday, he invited his old subordinates to drink, and during the banquet, his daughter hid in the back room and looked at us secretly. What a look in my goshawk's eyes, I immediately saw that she was eyeing my senior brother and master, and had bad intentions."
Miao Cheng snorted and said, "If your sister-in-law knows that you talk about her like this, you will have to be cramped and skinned when you go back." ”
Goshawk hurriedly said: "Lord Miao, Grandpa Miao, Ancestor Miao, all say that this murder is not a nod to the ground, if you report the news, it is too disregarding our comradeship." ”
Miao Cheng was amused by him, turned back to the generals and said, "Have you heard clearly? If anyone sues the goshawk in front of Miss Jiang, he is a traitor who seeks glory and does not pay attention to righteousness!"
Everyone laughed in unison: "What Brother Miao said is that we will never talk too much. ”
The goshawk put his heart down, wiped his cold sweat, and said: "So I frowned, calculated my heart, and used a trick of vole drilling into the ground, and came to my sister-in-law in an instant, pulled her sleeve, and said to her: 'Sister Jiang, are you my senior brother of Weishan day and night, haunted by dreams, and miss Miss Jiang to the bone?'"
Qi Yu applauded vigorously and said: "What a trick 'out of nothing', Brother Goshawk, you are familiar with the art of war, strategizing, this kind of wisdom, I am afraid that I will no longer be under Lord Li Tingzhi." ”
The goshawk arched his hand, his face was proud, and said: "How dare you, how dare you, but as soon as I say these few words, the time will make my sister-in-law's heart ripple, like a flood."
When everyone heard this, they almost didn't laugh until they died, Miao Cheng beat his chest hard, and said bitterly: "Goshawk, goshawk, you are young, but you don't learn well, you didn't learn these words from General Weishan." ”
Goshawk sneered and said: "I have no teacher in the next place, so I am so matched, so that the two of them are eyebrows, and it didn't take long for them to hook up, and then they came and went, love, adultery, love, and heat."
With a long hand, he twisted the goshawk's ears and said coldly: "You are becoming more and more speechless, what is the difference between you and those veterans, ruffians, and sons?
The goshawk's heart was shocked, and he secretly looked at the light shirt, only to see that her expression was cold, and she seemed to be really angry, and her brain was confused for a while, and she was stunned and speechless.
Qi Yu also felt slightly strange, and thought: "Senior Sister Qingyi has always been gentle and open-minded, why do you seem to be a little unhappy when you hear Senior Brother Weishan's happy event?"
He was only fourteen years old, how could he understand what was on his mind at the moment, but seeing that the goshawk was embarrassed, he hurriedly persuaded: "Senior sister, brother goshawk, he really doesn't choose what to say, he really shouldn't be, but now it's important for us to greet Lord Li, I think we should go on the road with Master Miao Cheng." ”
