It is said that the sycamore tree can attract the phoenix to inhabit, in fact, it likes the sun and is not tolerant to the shade and cold, and the buds are particularly weak, it is difficult to imagine that there can be a surviving sycamore tree in this place in Beiliang, but since it was born in the courtyard of the private house of His Royal Highness the former prince of Qingliang Mountain, it is equivalent to a good fetus, not only survived, but also unusually luxuriant.
It's just that the sycamore tree in the sycamore courtyard grows gratifyingly, but there is a bit of gloomy miserable and miserable relatives in this courtyard, probably because the Qingming is approaching, the people underground are too thinking of the people on the ground, so someone in the sycamore courtyard died quietly, it is a batch of cucumbers in the Zhu Nu Hanlin, this second-class maid, the name has long been forgotten, His Royal Highness the prince returned after the first trip to the rivers and lakes, the eldest son of the old Liang Wang Yan, who likes to eat cucumbers, gave her a vulgar nickname of cucumbers, she also protested back then, and then she was called used to it, and she accepted it with resentment, The death of the cucumber was abrupt and inexplicable, and he died in the absence of King Xinliang in Qingliang Mountain, which caught many people off guard.
Xu Feng's young Che Jian returned to the palace from the place of exiles, and still did not go to the Wutong Courtyard that was becoming less and less frequent, Xu Weixiong, who was in a wheelchair, found him in the pavilion on Tingchao Lake, and handed him a suicide note written by himself before the cucumber committed suicide, Xu Fengnian did not take a look at it, and threw it into the lake, and a thin sandalwood-colored flower note fell on the surface of the lake, soaked and wet, and slowly sank down to the lake, without even causing a ripple, the suicide note and the woman were like this, light and fluttering, as if it was gone, insignificant.
Xu Weixiong calmly told Xu Fengnian that after the cucumber wrote the letter, he pierced his neck with a pair of chopsticks in the house, and died at the desk, a very strange way of dying, and was only found at dawn the next day by calling her to go to the main house to approve the red and the same second-class maid.
Xu Weixiong also said that in the letter, Cucumber admitted that she had been a spy of Zhao Gou in Beiliang installed by the imperial court since she was a child, and she had betrayed twice in her life, once when His Royal Highness broke into the place of exile alone, and last time she leaked Beimang's whereabouts.
At the end of the letter, she said that she hoped that Her Highness would come back alive to see her suicide note, and that she would still want to serve Her Highness in the next life, and that she would never be so human and ghostly again.
Xu Fengnian's expression was calm, he couldn't see the joy and sorrow clearly, and Xu Weixiong also said indifferently: "The Beiliang Eagle Falcon is separated, and the spy reports of Wutong Courtyard and Chu Lushan are divided between inside and outside, I knew at that time that you had noticed that there were internal ghosts in Wutong Courtyard, and I hope they can restrain a little, and accept it when they see it, which should give them a chance to live."
It's just that you should know one thing, since you have embarked on this road, there is no way to turn back, there is no need to spare your life, a woman's life is thin, not to mention that she is still a female spy, after all, she can still decide when to die, how to die, and she did not suffer before she died. ” Xu Fengnian sighed, rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and the words came out from between his fingers, slightly vague, "There is also a spy who is implicated in Beimang, hidden even deeper, who does not have her leaks, not to mention the big driver who alarmed Murong Baoding, the leader of the Orange Prefecture, even Hong Jingyan can't go to Qingcang City to intercept me, these two people stepped on the point just right, obviously after the precise deduction of Beimang's think tank, it seems that she is much thicker than the cucumber girl." ” Xu Weixiong asked rhetorically: "Do you really don't know, or pretend to be stupid Wutong Courtyard has this forbearance and scheming, how many can there be?"
Xu Fengnian put down his hand, clasped his hands in his sleeves, turned his head to look at the lake, and said softly: "I'll go see her, sister, you can help me prepare two glasses of wine." ” Xu Weixiong hesitated for a moment, but finally remained silent.
The second-class maids in Wutong Courtyard have their own private houses, each with its own charm, and the house of the green ants of the small country of the palace is the most miscellaneous and playful, there are many strange objects placed in the house, and there are not many books, she is good at playing chess, but there is no chess pier, not a chess piece, to play chess, she is talking directly with His Royal Highness the Prince of the year in the main courtyard, and can always kill Xu Fengnian to lose his armor, never see her subordinates merciful, is to the god of the first nineteen Dao of the second county lord, when the heart is sharp, occasionally can fight on a fight, It shows that the green ant is extremely intelligent, probably because of the fact that Hui Ji must be injured, and the green ant is also the weakest one in the Wutong Courtyard, but fortunately, Xu Fengnian is a loser who is generous to the people around him, and it is the treasure pill sent to the palace by Song Zhiming, the old man of Wudang Mountain, and it is also regularly given to the green ant to warm up the body all year round.
Today, the Wutong Courtyard is not a green ant on duty, the door of the house is not closed, she sits alone at the window, looking at the green plane tree outside the window, the corners of her mouth are smiling, when she heard the knock on the door, turned her head and saw His Royal Highness the Prince with a glass of wine in his hand, stood up with a smile, the women of the Wutong Courtyard probably still like to regard this gentle and handsome young man as their Royal Highness.
Xu Fengnian walked to the window, put down two glasses of wine, and looked out of the green screen window along her previous line of sight, the green ant never cared about those humility, anyway, Wutong Courtyard didn't pay much attention to these rules, sat back in the chair gently, rested his elbows on the chair handle, leaned his body, and looked up at him, for so many years, it has been the case, this man has always been staring at Beiliang, looking at the rivers and lakes and mountains, she can only look at him, his side or back, at most when playing chess, when drinking, can see enough of his front.
The green ant smiled softly and asked, "Cucumber is a fool, Your Highness, do you say it?"
Xu Fengnian didn't shift his gaze, nodded and said: "In this courtyard, she has always been the stupidest one, the ugliest handwriting, the most stinky chess, and the guzheng doesn't play very aura, every time I am instigated by you to touch the moldy head, to stab Yu Youwei, to stab Pei Nanwei, to stab Lu Chengyan, to attack enemies on all sides, and I still feel that I am righteous and righteous, and I am a heroine who stands up to the sky, I don't know how to scold her every time I want to scold her, and I don't know how to scold her.
The stupidest one became a spy, and in the end he was really stupid.
So I don't blame her, because she is a stupid girl, not to mention that she still has her father and mother alive in Liyangzhou, and she has no choice but to do so.
What about you, you have always been the smartest one in the yard, my sister said, you have no relatives and no reason in Beimang, why are you still willing to give the barbarian life to serve the fun If you defect earlier, be your Beiliang woman green ant with peace of mind, who can come to Wutong Courtyard to kill you Murong Baoding or the first two after Hong Jingyan, the top ten masters in the world, were called to Qingcang City by you together, and I really don't understand if you didn't kill me. ” The green ant said calmly: "Your Highness, if we don't drink wine and chat about which cup is for Your Highness, which cup is for the slave and maid, it should be practiced for the slave and maid."
The slave maid is bolder than the cucumber, the city government is deeper, and the bottom of her heart is the same as thinking that His Royal Highness can go home alive, but the slave maid wants to talk to His Highness again, and she doesn't dare to talk to the cucumber, not only stupid, but also a coward. ” Xu Feng sneered in a young voice: "It's really already a ghost."
It's good to be in time for Qingming. ” The green ant shook Xu Fengnian's cuffs, his eyes were blurred, and he looked at him, the woman in the show of wisdom muttered to herself: "Everyone is a woman, what am I a maid, why do I have to call myself a slave when I see His Royal Highness, why can I only look at you from a distance all my life, I am not stupid, I dare to kill, I can kill people on paper, I also have a name, I also want to marry, I want to teach my husband and children, I have too many ideas, the biggest idea, does Your Highness know what it is Remember Your Highness came back from the capital and drank with me, Said a lot of drunken talk, said a lot of gossip about dreams, said that the dream of a lost dog is to have a home. said that the dream of the river pawn is to cross the river and turn back, and said that the dream of the swordsman is to enter the rivers and lakes and have a sword and a sword out of the rivers and lakes, and also said that you don't want anyone to die because of you, and you don't want to watch the people around you one after another, and you need to go to the tomb in Qingming.
So my dream is for you to look at me more, to really look at me, like now.
When I'm dead, you can remember me, and hate me as long as you live. ” Xu Fengnian shook back his sleeves and didn't let her hold it.
The green ant exhaled and said with a smile: "After the slave is finished, you can also die, Your Highness can go, don't stain your eyes, I don't want to make Your Highness feel guilty when I die." ” Xu Fengnian turned straight and left.
Not long after Xu Fengnian left the house, there was a slight squeak of a wheelchair outside the house, and the green ant did not turn his head to look at the woman who was more indifferent and smarter than himself, and bent down and reached out to hold a glass of wine, "It's the green ant bar prepared by the second county lord" The green ant did not look at the woman sitting in the wheelchair, and the latter also did not look at the green ant, and his expression was gloomy.
The green ant snorted softly, "That's no different." ” Green ants are really smart, if it is two cups of green ant wine prepared by His Royal Highness, one is dove wine, but the other glass is naturally an ordinary green ant wine with extrajudicial grace, whether the green ant is dead or alive depends on the destiny of heaven.
But if it was two cups of wine given by Xu Weixiong, the second county lord, it was destined to only be two cups of poisonous wine sent behind His Royal Highness the prince's back, so it would be the same for any cup she drank.
The green ant picked up a glass of green ant wine casually, drank it all, and before he could taste it, he picked up the second glass of wine, and still poured it into his stomach with his head up.
Since it is death, drinking an extra glass of wine always earns, in the past, she has played chess against the second county lord so many times, and won a few times, relying on her little by little advantages.
The green ant sat back in his chair and waited for death.
After a long time, the green ant frowned, only to hear Xu Weixiong say coldly: "I did prepare two cups of poison wine for you, and I guessed that he would replace two more glasses for you."
He wanted you to drink a glass of wine, feeling that he was lucky to survive, and then left Beiliang and found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to hide, so that he could live in peace.
But I won't let you leave this courtyard so comfortably, I'm just here to force you to drink two glasses of wine, so that you, a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, know clearly who owes whom, he doesn't want you to die, and I want you to live comfortably, I don't have such a good heart, except for old death, you don't want to die, I will let a few elite peregrine falcons follow you for the rest of your life" A voice interrupted the two women's rivalry, "Okay, sister." ” Xu Fengnian turned back and pushed the wheelchair away.
Xu Fengnian pushed her to Qingliang Mountain, overlooking Liangzhou City together, and said softly: "My last bit of patience has also been worn out, so don't worry, sister, I won't be so bodhisattva-minded in the future."
My mother used to say that no one is born to suffer, even if a man can't treat women well, he can't do random harm, he has to treat them as human beings.
Now that the Wutong Courtyard is clean, I don't have any worries, this time you will make a break with me, and finally be willful with you, sister, what's the matter?"
Xu Weixiong snorted.
Xu Fengnian smiled in surprise: "Sister, why are you so reasonable, I don't feel very comfortable." ” Xu Weixiong hit his head back, hit him hard, and said flatly: "I saw that after you became the king of Beiliang, the number of times you went to the Houshan Machinery Bureau exceeded my estimate, so I made an exception to allow you to be willful once." ” The Beiliang Machinery Manufacturing Bureau was built at the bottom of the mountain behind Qingliang Mountain.
It is this inconspicuous institution that has made the best war knives, the best iron spears, the best bows and crossbows, and the best iron armor in the world for the Beiliang Iron Cavalry.
Every sword, every iron spear, every bow, every iron armor, as long as it is a little better than others, but with the addition of 300,000 iron horses, the hidden advantage accumulated is so huge and amazing The place where Beiliang eats the most gold and silver, in addition to the military expenses for raising soldiers, is on the large-scale ordnance released by the Machinery Construction Bureau.
The second King of Beiliang, who guarded the northwest gate of the empire, attached more importance to this than the old king, to the point of being incredibly sick.
Xu Fengnian's eyes were resolute, he stretched out his hand to make a bow and arrow throwing gesture, and said in a deep voice: "I want to tell Beimang Liyang an old truth that Xu Xiao set back then, the biggest truth in the world is within the range of Beiliang's bow and crossbow" To be continued:
