There is a turning back pavilion thirty miles outside the city of Liangzhou Prefecture, meaning to send people to this point and turn back, from the early morning there are old people coming one after another, at noon it is already full of frost and white, close to dusk, there are five or six hundred people outside the pavilion, three religions and nine streams, not all the people in the city, there are also from hundreds of miles away to come to the old man, some are familiar with each other in the city to travel together, and then in the back pavilion occasionally see many years of old brothers, mixed feelings, less than a little to sigh about the world, more is not the original did not recognize, Because they got close to the others, they couldn't bear the loneliness, and talked to each other, only to know that they were all from the old word camp, one came and went, and the scene of the pavilion was very strange, there were old men in brocade clothes who knelt down to worship the poor and simple old peasants, there were those who brought good wine but still drank the cheap green ant wine, there were two sides arguing over a certain war in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there were also old people on crutches who sat alone.
There is no shortage of fresh clothes and angry horses, luxury car riding teams, young people who don't know the old things see this old guy getting together, all wonder if these old guys have taken the wrong medicine or what, in the afternoon, there is an old man with missing arms who came by ox cart is about to get off the car and lead the ox down the post road, so as not to delay the business travel on the post road, unfortunately it is still blocked a carriage to go to the road, the driver is a strong man, about a fox fake tiger might, grumpy habits, rough voice shouting, but the old cow committed a strong nature, The groom from the Haoheng family jumped out of the carriage, disgusted that the old man was not long-sighted, scolded and scolded a good dog not in the way, a whip was about to be whipped on the head of the lonely old man, as for whether it was dead or alive, where did he care about this file of birds, but the horsewhip was waved, and was lightly held by the shabby old man who was holding the cow, and then apologized a few times, after letting go of the horsewhip, he continued to "reason" with the old cow who depended on each other, which made the horseman in the prime of life only feel that he had lost face, and he was angry, and he stepped forward to kick the old immortal to the ground.
Save being seen by the old man in the carriage, disgusted with his own affairs, but never thought that he kicked fiercely, to the old man as if drunk staggered to dodge, one arm gently pushed on the horseman's chest, the whole person floated back three or four feet away, but did not fall to the ground, the horseman stood in place, his heart was horrified, dare to love himself to meet a real person who did not show his face The old man on both sides of the pavilion and the post road saw this scene, and applauded and cheered continuously.
The groom was frustrated, the first five or six riders behind the carriage couldn't stand it, and were about to charge, outside the pavilion there was an old man wearing luxurious Shu brocade shouted, almost at the same time, no less than ten voices invariably blocked, these dressed relatively rich old men walked through the crowd, looked at each other and smiled, and then hugged their fists and made a simple greeting gift, the old man of Shu brocade faced the knight and said angrily: "Which of you dares to rush one to try it" A fat-headed and big-eared rich man walked down from the luxurious carriage, and when he saw the old man of Shujin, he was so frightened that he repelled the dog's legs and gave the groom a heavy slap, and then he knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaguan Song Long has seen General Youzhou." ” The old man of Shu Jin said expressionlessly: "You know Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu doesn't know you, what the hell, get away" Song Long, as a civil official of Liangzhou Liupin, had seen this Zhou general at a banquet at the last banquet, although Zhou Lao had just stepped down from the position of Xuanhe's incomparable Youzhou general, but there were countless protégés, even if a general like Zhong Hongwu Yan Wenluan saw this person, he was just as polite and cheerful.
Where is his little six-rank official can disobey, Beiliangdao only governs three states, except for those first-class real power generals in the border army guarding the border, the next is to Liangzhou Youzhou Lingzhou Sanzhou General as the authority is heavy, Liangyou is adjacent to Beimang, and it is far from Lingzhou General can be comparable to side by side, these three state generals are not the miscellaneous generals who are good and have no tiger charms, even if they give Song Long ten bear-hearted leopard galls in vain, they dare not provoke Zhou Lao.
A tall old man who walked out at the same time as Zhou Kang, the general of the old Youzhou, was a little younger and more vigorous than Zhou Kang, and looked at the one-armed old man who came in an ox cart, with tears in his eyes, and immediately knelt on the post road, crying and saying: "Yuan Nanting, the old soldier of the lotus seed battalion, see General Lin" Song Long, who was thinking about how to make the old general Zhou lower his anger and deflated, heard this, and his heart trembled again, Yuan Nanting, the white feather cavalry who was the first crossbow in the Northern Liang army was divided into three, and Wei Fucheng, one of the four teeth of the Northern Liang, rushed to Xishu, General Yuan Nanting monopolized the second, and he was really in power.
But that's all, who is General Lin who can make General Yuan Nanting kneel on the ground, and who is Song Long, who flew to the head and smashed on his head, Song Long has the heart to die, and at this time, he can't care about General Zhou's "military order" to let him go, so he also knelt down and kowtowed hard, no matter which kind of Bodhisattva General Lin is in the Beiliang Army, just burn incense and kowtow.
Zhou Kang held the post of general of Youzhou for more than ten years, and Yuan Nanting, who held the first white feather guard of the Northern Liang Yu crossbow and the first white feather guard, naturally recognized the face, but he was not very familiar, the invincible iron cavalry of the Northern Liang Army formed an army in Liangliao, and later went south to fight more and more bravely in the spring and autumn gunsmoke, and continued to grow, making the composition extremely complex, each with its own origins, he and Yuan Nanting are from different factions, each with the older generation of senior veterans and nobles.
However, when Yuan Nanting knelt down and called General Lin, Zhou Kang immediately knew who the one-armed old man who was more than ten years older than himself was, the first head of the Lotus Seed Battalion of the Eighteen Old Battalions, Lin Doufang was cut off by someone in order to save the general, and the general once said that if the old brother of the fighting room has a daughter and granddaughter, he will be my Xu Xiao's daughter-in-law in the future, and after the general is crowned king, he will not hear any news from the old General Lin, and he is lucky to see this person, he is arrogant and conceited, such as Zhou Kang also clenched his fists and said convincingly: "Zhou Kang visited the old General Lin" The one-armed old man took the ox down the post road, walked back to the side of the road, nodded to Zhou Kang, and then walked to help Song Long, and said calmly: "The general has finally trained an elite soldier who dominates the world, and it is not used to play prestige for you and the common people.
Okay, Lord Song, don't kneel, go busy with your business, you don't need to be more concerned about me than the people in today's affairs. ” Song Long didn't even dare to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and hurriedly nodded yes, for fear of getting in the way of his eyes, he fled in embarrassment.
These old people didn't take Song Long, who was a clown, seriously at all, and Zhou Kang asked with a smile: "Why is General Lin here too?"
The one-armed Lin Doufang is not the kind of official who is pretentious, and when the Beiliang Army deserves to be rewarded for his merits, he "retreated bravely", and he has been a flat-headed person who has been incognito for nearly 20 years in one breath, looking at the post road and sighing softly: "You haven't waited for the prince to enter Beijing" As a veteran of the Lotus Battalion, even if Yuan Nanting became a general, in the face of this old boss, he was still respectful, and said with his fists clenched: "General Qiyulin, Yuan Nanting has been waiting with the old brothers for a day, and still has not met an iron cavalry guarding carriage passing by Huitou Pavilion. ” Lin Doufang nodded and said with a smile: "On the way here, I also heard about him going to Beimang to take off two heads, believe it or not" Zhou Kang said in a deep voice: "The matter of Xu Huainan, the king of the North Courtyard, and the fifth raccoon dog in Tibing Mountain, has spread all over Beimang, and the paper can't hold the fire, and it is undoubtedly that the head was cut off by someone, if it is only Xu Huainan who died, Zhou can be regarded as the wrist of the cunning rabbit and the dead lackey of the Beimang Empress, but the fifth raccoon dog also died violently, it is definitely not the Beimang infighting that can be explained."
Now there is intermittent news that the death of Chengtao Qianzhi is also from the hands of the son, and there is also the northern demon Xie Ling, who was also killed, and later the son of the prince met Tuoba Bodhisattva's youngest son Tuoba Spring Falcon, and the two famous demons under his command were killed by the son of the world who was single to face the battle, Zhou Kang privately drew a route for the son of the world to go to the north in the mansion, which is completely in line with the time of death of these heroes, and it should be true.
Over the years, our old guys have been really dizzy. ” Lin Doufang smiled and said indifferently: "These scary statements, regardless of whether they are true or false for the time being, I didn't care very much, I ran to the Huihui Pavilion before I died this time, just because I heard about Xu Yongguan in the Fish Dragon Camp, after he was trampled on a broken leg, before he died, there was a young man who saved him often bought wine for him to drink, and promised him to carry the coffin after his death, I think we followed the general to kill on horseback for decades, and then there was such a young man to take over Beiliang, not aggrieved.
I was angry with the general and went to farm, but a few years ago, I heard about this young man's ridiculous behavior, and scolded the general in my stomach from afar, scolding the general You raised such a rabbit cub, and it is also a loss that I have no daughter or granddaughter in Lin Doufang, otherwise we will not regret it."
Zhou Kang, Yuan Nanting and a circle of old people nearby all laughed heartily.
Lin Doufang also followed suit, and said with a smile: "As a result, I regret it even more, I knew that I married the princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty as my daughter-in-law back then, and it was so pretty that it was not like a word, but unfortunately I was high-spirited at the time, and I missed it when I hesitated, otherwise I would be a big nest of descendants at this time." ” Yuan Nanting, who was not smiling in the army, was like a naughty child at this time, licking his face and laughing: "General Lin, you still have this beautiful thing to talk about with Princess Nantang."
Lin Doufang glared, Yuan Nanting immediately looked at his nose and cared, Lin Doufang slapped the old man on the head, and said: "You kid looked like a dog when he was a pawn, and when he became a general, how can he still be a scoundrel, ugly words ahead, I heard that you are newly promoted to manage most of the white feather guards, but don't be patronized by lard to make money, in case I hear it in the future, see if I don't break your three legs, if I don't have that chance, I have to bother General Zhou to do it for me, when the time comes, this kid dares to fight back, General Zhou, you will reason with the general." ” Zhou Kang laughed heartily, "With this sentence, Zhou Kangke really wrote it down, General Yuan, you have met several times over the years, you have stared at me with a horizontal nose, and now I have the holy decree of General Lin, you will not carry chickens, ducks and fish to my house every once in a while."
Yuan Nanting was straightforward: "You didn't see General Zhou before, that's a helpless thing, the border army and the local army in Youzhou will inevitably have some bumps, but it's not that Yuan has opinions and opinions on you, to be honest, since I can meet you here today, I, Yuan Nanting, have decided that you can be an old brother, and you Zhou Kang will not continue to be a general in Youzhou, but it's a pity that I told the general that if you don't be a general in Youzhou, you can't be a general in Liangzhou."
Zhou Kang shook his head and smiled: "It's different from Brother Yuan, let's not be cheeky to grab jobs from young people."
But if there is a real need, on the day when we ride horses into battle, Zhou Kang can still drink a few big bowls of wine and eat a few catties of beef every day, risking his life and killing dozens of northern barbarians."
Lin Doufang said suddenly: "I see that this time he went to the capital, he didn't bring cavalry at all, maybe we all missed it." ” Zhou Kang was stunned, and Yuan Nanting laughed and said: "That's good, the eldest son of the general, our future king of Beiliang, should have this arrogance." ” A large group of old people around him smiled and nodded, although they couldn't meet His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, they waited for a day in vain, and they didn't regret it.
A simple carriage drove slowly past and out of the Huitou Pavilion, seemingly hesitating and pausing.
A man with a white head and white clothes stepped out of the carriage.
In front of everyone's eyes, the man shook it to the end.
Worship the old man.
When Lin Doufang saw this person, he burst into tears.
He patted his vulgar sleeves, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Lotus Seed Camp Lin Doufang, send His Royal Highness the Prince to Beijing" Zhou Kang followed, knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Youzhou Zhou Kang, send His Royal Highness the Prince to Beijing" "The last general, Yuan Nanting, send His Royal Highness the Prince to Beijing" "The eighteenth old camp ascended to the city camp Qu'an, and sent His Royal Highness the Prince to Beijing" "Cavalry veteran He Tuiren, congratulations to send His Royal Highness the Prince to Beijing" Six hundred old soldiers, facing the young man who had been stiffening his waist for a long time.
One after another, 600 congratulatory send-offs to be continued:
