Chapter 908 The storm by the lake pavilion is ups and downs, Fan Bainu and Hu are begging for the skin
A carriage stopped outside the outskirts of Liangzhou City. The young man with a knife and jade walked off the carriage, carrying a pot of green ant wine he had just bought in his hand. Looking up, there were persimmon trees in groups of three or three on the plain, clusters of bright yellow fell on the branches, barely making the barren northwest part of the word “harvest”. The young man moved forward slowly, looking at the familiar persimmon trees that were near or far from time to time. I remember that I often sneaked out of the city and wandered around here, and I was bored, and I even gave the persimmon trees many nicknames. The branch half inside and outside is slightly scattered and is called “Hanger Armor”. If you see it in the dusk, it will be a bit scary. The short persimmon tree that relies on each other for a few years has not been seen, and has been raised a little bit higher. At a rough look, it is even more fruitful, full of golden body, very happy. The nickname he gave it back then was the “little yellow robe”. The young man continued to move forward along a dry stream and finally came to a hut that was surrounded by no earth walls. Behind the house were a few strange crooked elms.
There is no owner in the house.
The young man walked to a stump, squatted down and bent down to wipe the dust with his cuffs, then sat on his head and looked around. He gently placed the green ant wine on his robe and shouted with a loud voice: “Blind Lao Xu, I brought you wine.”
If it were at the end of Yonghui, there would definitely be a blind lame man who ran out quickly, took the wine pot from his hand, skillfully uncovered the mud seal, lowered his head and sniffed it hard, and then a big smile would bloom on his vicissitudes of life, smiling like a persimmon tree in autumn. However, when the old man drinks with him, he always gets cheap and teaches him a lesson. When he has some spare money, he cannot slap it at will. No matter how small the copper coins are, they have to save them one by one, so that they can get married. The world is so big that the matter of marrying a wife and having children is the biggest. At that time, Lao Xu always said that there is a land called Yanzhi County in Youzhou, Beiliang. My aunt is the most beautiful. If you, Xiao Xu, can you ask a girl from Yanzhi County as your wife, and you will send a message to me, Lao Xu, even if I walk for three days and three nights, I will go to your house to have the wedding wine.
I remember that time, after the old man said these words, he asked himself carefully, “It’s such a great thing to have such a big wedding wine, and if he is a blind man like him visiting the door, would he be embarrassed?” If Xu, your elders and in-laws in your family will dislike him, then Lao Xu will not join in the fun and just go back and get two pots of affordable green ant wine.
A young man who often brings green ant wine or steals chickens and ducks to the old man, pats his chest and says that his words are the most effective. If Lao Xu doesn’t go when he holds a wedding banquet, he will be anxious with Lao Xu and say that Lao Xu must sit on the main table.
At that time, the old man only felt that the young man who often chatted with him was a common young man in Beiliang City. When he was young, he was like him, who had his feet on the ground, floating around and restlessly, soI heard that I wanted to invite him to sit at the main table for a wedding banquet. I didn’t think much about it, let alone associate the young man with a very strong tone with that Qingliang Mountain. There are too many people in the world with the surname Xu. It is not that young people at that time always showed their longing for outside of Beiliang in chatting, thinking of being a heroic and righteous man, using the best sword, drinking the strongest wine, and finding the most beautiful woman in the world. She must be the kind who looks better than the Rouge County Lady. The old man always sings opposite to the young man, telling him in the tone of an experienced person that he must not be so big. No matter how good the Central Plains is, it will not be home in the end. At that time, the young man also sighed and said that he also understood this principle. The master who taught him to read and read at home once said, “Young people are not long after ten years. If they are older, they will travel far away just one step away.” After hearing this, the old man smiled and said that your teacher is really knowledgeable, how can you teach you such a half-bucket apprentice?
Sometimes when the two of them sit together and chat, the blind old man, Lao Xu, who is older, will sit on the tree stump next to him, leaning on the crutch with both hands, and dozing off secretly in the sun.
Perhaps, many years ago, on the battlefield of the West Bulletin, there was a young soldier from the old-fashioned battalion. His legs were not lame and his eyes were not blind. However, he would doze under the sun like this, but the crutches in his hand were replaced with iron spears. Perhaps there was a big banner with Xu not far away, clamoring in the strong wind.
Now it is the beginning of autumn for three years of Xiangfu, the blind old Xu has long died, so naturally there will be no more nagging.
The old man did not live until the day when the young man drank the wedding banquet.
The young man also promised the elderly that after the elderly die, they would carry the coffin for the elderly and attend the funeral.
But the young people didn’t do it.
At that time, he was far away in Jiangnan.
He did not go to the grave of the blind Lao Xu, but just poured the pot of green ant wine on the ground in front of the tree stump. When he bent down to pour the wine, he whispered: “Lao Xu, the wine was secretly bought by Xishi. Now the world is not peaceful and war is about to start again. Our Beiliang has begun to ban people from brewing wine privately, so this pot of wine is not cheap. If it weren’t an acquaintance, the shop might not dare to sell it to me. The daughter of the boss’s daughter is now so beautiful, and the girl changes a lot from her. It’s true. I heard that the girl now has a fancy to a young foreign scholar who is teaching in a private school near her home. When I bought the wine, the boss’s wife joked, saying that I was late and her daughter had actually been waiting for several years. Look, I didn’t brag about you back then, so I said that the girl had a good attitude, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to pick me…”
Some regrets are like an old dog crawling on the corner of the street sobs alone, slowly and slowly, scratching his heart and lungs.
He left the wine pot on the stump and stood up and left.
The carriage returns to Qingliang Mountain.
Nowadays, there are two places in the Beiliang Palace that are famous all over the world: Wutong Courtyard is nicknamed “Feng Pavilion”, and halfway up the mountainThe official residence of the deputy general in charge of Song Dongming was called “Longmen”.
As soon as he returned to Qingliang Mountain, a Longmen official rushed over and reported to him that he was the deputy manager who asked the adults to discuss important matters.
When he saw Song Dongming standing in front of the low official residence waiting, he knew that the news was good or bad, but it was definitely not a trivial matter. Otherwise, with the calmness of this old minister of the Yang Dynasty, he would never be unable to sit still.
Sure enough, when Song Dongming approached, he turned around and walked into the official residence in the center, and said in a slightly hurried tone: “The four news gathered together, which are related to Liuzhou, Central Plains, Beijing and Beimang, and the prince must weigh the pros and cons. “
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, “Then let’s talk about the news from Liuzhou first.”
Song Dongming nodded and said, “An emergency spy came from Fengxiang Army Town, which is closest to the Western Regions. Cao Wei and Xie Xiqiu arbitrarily changed the established strategy of the Protectorate’s Mansion and chose to take the initiative to attack, wanting to eat the Zhongtan cavalry in one go in the Miyun Mountain Pass!”
Xu Fengnian’s face was as usual, and said, “It should be that the monk soldiers of Lantu Mountain did not set off with the Zhongtan cavalry.”
Song Dongming said worriedly, “Even so, the difference in military strength between the two sides is still not big. Such a head-on exchange of life is not going against the original intention of Liuzhou to use troops.”
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said, “If we fail to wipe out the entire Zhongtan cavalry at the Miyun Mountain Pass, then this battle will be meaningless. It can even be said that because of their greed for merit, the entire Liuzhou fell into a huge passive state. But since even Xie Xiqian was willing to accompany Cao Wei on the danger, I believe their vision.”
Song Dongming sighed and smiled bitterly, “These two guys are really not worry-free.”
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, “If we win, there may be unexpected surprises.”
Song Dongming knew in his heart: “That’s right, if the Zhongtan cavalry was wiped out, maybe Rantu Mountain would have to think about it again.”
Xu Fengnian asked, “What is the news in the Central Plains that Wen Taiyi and Ma Zhongxian are finally no longer stumbling on the grain matters.”
Song Dongming smiled and said, “This is not important news.”
Xu Fengnian was a little surprised: “There are situations that are more important than this.”
After Song Dongming and Xu Fengnian sat respectively in the meeting hall, the deputy general of Beiliang Road who had been nodded by the Ministry of Personnel of the Liyang court, said with a playful look: “The Jing’an King Zhao Xun, who was originally loyal to the court, just surrendered to the two rebel princes.”
Xu Fengnian was stunned on the spot.
