Qibicheng
The sky was gloomy, and you could smell the dampness, but it was filled with a thick smell of blood, mixed with the sounds of killing.
"Shoot!" The rain of arrows covering the sky roared down, creating bloody waves. The ladder collapsed and collapsed. The soldiers of the Marquis of Jibei were climbing up the long ladder.
"Smash!" Not far away, the Marquis of Jibei's catapult was being filled. With a command, the boulder was ejected. The boulder whizzed through the air from time to time, and hit Chengheng with a bang. Bricks, stones, earth and wood were scattered everywhere, and smoke and dust billowed. Minzhuang pushed the cart up and set up the baffle.
"Uncle, the Jibei thieves used stone throwers." Uncle Zhongqin frowned at his side.
"Order the stone-throwing team to immediately find the location of the opponent's stone-throwing team. We will fight back and teach them a lesson."
"Yes, uncle." The general immediately accepted the order and turned around to make arrangements.
Arrows rained down like rain, the killing was fierce, and huge rocks kept falling. The Marquis of Jibei watched, and as soon as the general looked at the city in front of him, he smiled ferociously: "My lord, the trebuchet will break down in two more hours."
Before he finished speaking, huge boulders flew out of the city and came towards the trebuchet. One of the trebuchets was instantly destroyed. The general shouted: "How come the trebuchets in the city are so accurate? Hurry, smash them back."
The general roared loudly in fright and anger, and huge rocks flew up from both sides. The morale of the imperial troops on the city was greatly boosted.
Uncle Zhongqin said nothing and watched from a distance.
eldest princess mansion
The eldest princess has just returned home from the Prince's Mansion. The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. The fruits are becoming more and more beautiful along the way. Walking in through the corridor, she feels that she is really in the spring breeze. She is twisting a manuscript in her hand with a joy that is rare these days.
A nun accompanied the eldest princess and whispered: "Your Highness, which courtyard should we go back to now?"
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "This little girl Qianye must still be lovesick. I'll go and comfort her. Hey, I don't know who this girl is like."
Mammy followed the eldest princess's words: "As for the little princess, if you look like anyone, I think you are exactly the same as the eldest princess."
"What's the benefit of being like me?" The eldest princess sighed melancholy and said, "Go to the little princess's courtyard."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Small courtyard
The little princess is sitting in front of the piano, and the maid is making tea. The fragrance of the tea is emitting with the boiling water.
The little maid held up a fan and looked at the little princess from time to time. The spring sunshine was dappled through the carved paper lattice windows, making her feel so comfortable that she wanted to fall asleep.
The little princess was a little upset and reached out to strum the strings.
She just fiddled with her fingers and only played one note. The little princess frowned. She felt that the piano was not played yet, and her heart was already confused. She got up and started looking for it on the bookshelf.
The bookshelf was filled with books, and one column was full of books about wine. The little princess carefully found a book, sat in front of the piano and started reading.
At this time, tea was served, and the little princess drank tea and read.
The book "Jiu Bu Kong" has a unique charm that makes the little princess read it first, second and third times.
Sipping the tea gently, when she heard the sound of the door opening, the maid saw that it was the eldest princess and stood up quickly: "See your highness, the eldest princess."
At this time, the little princess raised her head, saw her mother coming, and quickly put down the book: "Mother!"
"Are you upset and can't play the piano?" The eldest princess stepped forward and looked at the little princess and asked.
After hearing this, the little princess lowered her head and said nothing. Seeing this, the eldest princess forced out a smile, stretched out her hand and rubbed the little princess's head: "You girl, how come you are so like me?"
Passing the manuscript up: "The war situation in Yingzhou has improved. The prince and the emperor are secretly relieved. You don't have to worry about it."
The eldest princess said this, and the little princess couldn't help but raise her head and look at the eldest princess: "Mom, is it true?"
"You, do you think that my mother would coax you on this kind of thing just to make you happy?" The eldest princess laughed angrily when she heard this, and was a little angry: "You have lost a lot of weight because of your restlessness day and night, but he But I didn't remember you at all. Look, Pei Ziyun captured the county and wrote this poem. It's very good, but it's all the pride of men. Hey, who knows how many people are caring behind you?"
The eldest princess said, feeling a little helpless: "The prince admires it and wants to compose a score to sing. He thinks your arrangement is very good and wants you to try it - the poems are all here."
The little princess quickly took the manuscript, unfolded it and read:
"the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero.
Right and wrong, success or failure turn around in vain.
Aoyama is still there, How Many Suns.
The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter on the Nagisa River is used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze.
Happy reunion over a pot of wine.
Many things in ancient and modern times are all talked about with laughter. "
As the little princess read, she seemed to see the change of time and space, the fisherman's boat, the sunset, and something stuck in her heart. She couldn't help but frown, and fell into a certain situation, which seemed to make no sense. Just looking at it, there was something. It resonates with me, but I can’t understand it.
Looking at the appearance of the little princess, the eldest princess was familiar with it and knew that her daughter was crazy again, that her daughter was both music-mad and love-mad.
After a while, the little princess came back to her senses. She looked at the eldest princess and said, "Mother, I just had a melody, but it's just not clear enough."
The eldest princess waved her hand: "You can play this piece by yourself. Mother won't rush you. When you finish writing it, mother will come to pick it up."
"Hehe, mother, I knew you were the best." The little princess said coquettishly. She sent the eldest princess away, returned to her seat, and murmured in a low voice: "Brother Pei's poems always touch me, but I There are still some things that don’t make sense and are unpleasant.”
Naturally, she didn't know that this article was written by Yang Shen, the son of Yang Tinghe, a scholar of Dongge University. He was the number one scholar in the sixth year of Zhengde's reign, edited and compiled by the Hanlin Academy, and served as a lecturer at the Jingyan Banquet.
In the third year of Jiajing's reign, he was given a royal stick due to the "Great Ceremony" and was banished to the Yongchang Guards in Yunnan. He stayed in the garrison for the rest of his life. He was not allowed to return home after six amnesties. He died in the 38th year of Jiajing's reign at the age of seventy-two.
This word was made during the period of derogation.
The little princess couldn't understand this, but it didn't stop her from drawing parallels. She closed her eyes, leaned back gently on the chair, and thought about it intently.
After a long time, I picked up the manuscript. It was written by Pei Ziyun, but the little princess didn't know it. Looking at the manuscript, a thought penetrated: "The sentence "The wine is not empty" is more popular with me!"
"Ask the world, what is love? Directly teach the promise of life and death."
He murmured in a low voice and understood at this moment: "The world is so long. If I don't have Brother Pei by my side, what's the meaning to me if time and space are changing and people's hearts are changing."
Thinking about it, something suddenly penetrated her heart. The little princess took the piano and played it several times.
The rolling Yangtze River passes eastward
The advent of what love is? Direct teaching of life and death
These are two kinds of emotions. It can be said that the rolling water of the Yangtze River flows eastward. Its implicit meaning is the same as "the passing of people is like a man, not giving up day and night." It implies that life is constantly flowing away like water, making people suddenly feel melancholy. , emptiness and even despair, but "asking the world, what is love? It teaches life and death to promise each other." For the little princess, she couldn't help but feel deeply. Although life is like a dream, reunion and separation are not false.
Laughter, crying, tears, sadness, pain, bitterness, love and hate - all these are not just a big dream, but the meaning of life.
This is not anesthetizing oneself, but the reality in a big dream. In other words, because the human body is like a dream, the true feelings are particularly real.
The little princess regained her consciousness in the faint sound of Xiao, which was faintly mixed with the sound of her own piano. She didn't know how long it had been playing, and she didn't know if the Xiao sound really existed.
She only remembered that the sound of the whistle matched her piano perfectly. What was even more rare was that the emotions and perceptions conveyed were not wrong at all - it was not a big dream, nor simple joy, anger, sorrow, but the reality in the dream.
The little princess subconsciously looked at Xiao Sheng, thinking that she should see someone standing under the window, but when she looked up, there was only a peach blossom, quiet and no one, only a bird standing on the branch and chirping carefreely, the little princess The Lord couldn't bear it anymore and tears came out of his eyes.
The rain was falling, and Pei Ziyun led eight hundred cavalrymen, all wearing raincoats, running on the official road. The rain kept falling and gradually penetrated into the neck of the clothes.
My whole body was sticky, wet, and cold.
"boom"
A spring thunder sounded in the sky, and the sky gradually darkened. He led the cavalry captain forward. When he arrived in front of Pei Zi, he shouted: "Master, it is getting late, the rain is slippery, and running at night is taboo. You must find a place to repair."
The rain was pouring down, and the words could not be heard clearly. They had to shout. Pei Ziyun understood it as soon as he thought about it. He immediately issued the order. He saw the orderer beside him giving orders again and again. In a short time, hundreds of cavalrymen pulled the reins of their horses and slowly stopped.
Pei Ziyun wore a bamboo hat and looked around, and saw a small town not far away.
There is a temple on one side of the town. Pei Ziyun frowned: "How many miles are we from Baoyang County now? Where are we now?"
"Master, we are still eighty miles away from Baoyang County, and we are now in Qingping Town." The captain said loudly.
Pei Ziyun only thought for a moment: "The town is repaired and the camp is set up."
After the military order was passed, the cavalry immediately set up camp at a high place even though it was raining. They took out tents, distributed the camp areas, dug water and drained canals. Xu founded the country and governed the army strictly. Soon a camp appeared in front of them.
Smoke curled from the cooking pots, and the pots and stoves were set up one by one. Pei Ziyun inspected for a week, and saw that the water was carried to make rice and the horses were fed in an orderly manner, and he was gradually satisfied.
Pei Ziyun then entered the temple with his soldiers. There were side rooms on both sides of the main hall, and the window paper was not broken. There was a god in the main hall, but he couldn't tell what god it was.
At this time, the soldiers came in, picked up a few pheasants, and said, "There is this one nearby. I will shoot a few of them to give the real person some extra food."
"Yes." Pei Ziyun flashed a smile and ordered: "Clean the room. I saw that there is dry firewood in the wing. I took it to bake the clothes. If there are other suitable things, just use them. Just give me some money before leaving. "
After saying that, he entered the main hall, looked at the shrine and the statue, bowed slightly, and said: "This is not a dilapidated temple. The statue still has aura. It must be because there is no full-time temple blessing. Once you enter someone else's temple, you don't care about the gods." Big or small, you have to be polite.”
"You guys put some incense for me." With different identities, we can't do it casually.
"Yes!" Someone responded, came forward, burned incense, and bowed. In the hall, someone lit a fire and made a crackling sound. They also filled a pot with water, scalded the pheasant, plucked its feathers, and washed it. , as for the internal organs, they were all thrown out without anyone taking care of them.
The wine and salt were sprinkled down, and the cooked chicken gradually released a mouth-watering aroma.
Pei Ziyun lit the fire, poked the fire with a wooden stick, suddenly shook his body, and asked, "Why is there the sound of the piano nearby?"
"Master, didn't you hear that?" The people on the left and right looked at each other, one of them took the chicken soup, offered the whole chicken to it, and said with an apologetic smile, "Or maybe you heard it wrong?"
Pei Ziyun listened carefully, but couldn't hear any music, only the sound of the camp far away, and couldn't help but wonder if he really heard it wrong.
At this moment, the plum blossoms lit up in front of his eyes, and Pei Ziyun was startled. He immediately said: "This is too hot, I will use it later."
With that said, he stood up and arrived in the corridor, paced slowly, and whispered: "System!"
A plum appeared in front of me, and it quickly enlarged into a translucent data frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light, and the data appeared in front of my eyes.
