There was another flash of lightning in the sky, followed by the routine strong wind and roar, and then I naturally disappeared among the crowd.
This was my first time going out this way. Last time I was dragged out. Life is always a little strange, but maybe people are the source of these strangeness.
I caught up with this man who seemed very capable in a few strides. I believe this man should not know me. Most of those who know my face have also witnessed the scene of that bastard killing his father, so most of them should be walking on the Yellow Spring Road instead of this road. Even if this man is an exception, I must tell him that if he leaks the secret, I will tell the bastard and this unlucky guy in front of me that I spread the news of that bastard killing his father, and then he will definitely go that way soon.
But this person was either very open-minded or too honest. At least he was startled. He must have felt someone chasing him from behind, and he turned around to look at me, then leaned against the column. Looking at his eyes, I believed that he really didn't know me, just like I didn't know him.
But I believe this person would be suspicious of my voice, and there seemed to be a lot of uncertainty on his face. In fact, I was more suspicious of the Jingzhou accent that was difficult to hide in my mouth. So, I had to spend some time to talk.
"Don't panic, I was sent by Lord Wang to protect you and watch the door. He and the Marquis may be following the people coming to the door, so I came to see. I am a fellow villager from Jingzhou brought by General Wang. If the person following is really from Jingzhou, let him say a word. If he has a Jingzhou accent, you can tell it by listening." I acted like a rough man, which was quite good, so he couldn't help but believe me. Or should I admit that I have a better future as a rough man.
"Oh, what about me? This is a good idea, but why haven't I seen you before?" He seemed to believe it a little, but still had some doubts.
"I usually train under the general. This time, Marquis Ping'an Fengyun is here. I might be able to withstand a few of his blows. Together with the brothers at the door, they should be able to catch him. So let me come over."
"Oh, no wonder you look so strange. Oh, you're so big!"
"Yeah, how can I stop that guy without this physique? I heard that guy is over ten feet tall, and I might be taller than him, so I should be able to pin him down." I acted confidently.
"Let's hope so!" This person was not as confident as me, and was still a little panicked: "It's my turn to be on duty today. I haven't seen this person during the day. I've heard about how powerful this person was before, but I didn't expect that this time he was knocked down by the Marquis and dragged out in the end. I don't think he is a very powerful character. But I didn't expect Mr. Xia to come to inquire about this person. He said that this person has magical powers and his words are true and true. However, if there is a storm tonight, this person will definitely escape from the cage. I'm afraid this place will be in danger of a bloody storm. I just thought it was a joke at the time, but I didn't expect that there would be a sudden strong wind and dark clouds tonight, and that person actually ran away."
I had some thoughts in my mind but said, "So, so. It doesn't matter. Not only am I big, I'm also strong. Now I'm here to protect General Wang. Look at the spear in my hand. Even with my strength, a dozen ordinary people can't get close to me." I even pretended to wave my spear, and the whistling wind, combined with the original strong wind and the rumbling thunder in the sky, was indeed scary.
"That's good. I feel relieved." He seemed to be relieved. Maybe he was still thinking, if this big guy can hold on for a while, I can take the opportunity to run away. But his expression was completely different. He breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up at the sky: "Why won't the rain stop?"
Of course I don’t know: “I don’t know either.” This is a rare time when I’m being honest.
This is my second time leaving here. Last time I was dragged away, and this time it took some effort, but I like the feeling this time better.
After a while, he arrived at the door and slowly opened it with the help of the family guard. However, he saw two people standing in the corridor with gloomy faces, not moving at all.
I shouted from behind the night watchman, "Isn't it just one person? How come there is one more person out of nowhere? Could it be that Marquis Ping An Feng Yun is holding him hostage?"
The fellow was really suspicious. He looked ahead, waved to the warrior who was pulling the door beside him, and asked with a guilty conscience, "General Xu, why didn't I see the person behind you just now?"
At that time, I was overjoyed, thinking of instigating the capture of this "Marquis of Peace and Wind and Cloud" who seemed to be but was completely impossible in theory and fact, and the general who was obviously suspected of being an accomplice, and tied them up and dragged them into the hall together, letting them struggle and cry out for injustice, so as to make the situation less chaotic. I could then take the opportunity to use the weapon I had used to capture this person, or use Wang Wei's sword to stab that bastard to death.
But I didn't expect that the situation would take a turn for the better. When the person behind me spoke with a local accent, I was surprised and suddenly overjoyed. I didn't care what excuses he made, I just rushed to ask: "What's your name? I think I've heard of you."
"My name is Han Lieya." I was laughing so hard that my stomach hurt. I thought two words were missing. No matter how he got here, I knew the voice was his.
"My name is Li Beihai, do you know me?" I laughed out loud.
"Uh, is it Big Brother?" His tone was so sincere that I laughed even more in my heart. But when I saw him standing motionless in front of General Xu, I knew there was something wrong.
Po Liu Han Lie Ya is here! My brother Li Beihai is standing in front of me.
"That's right. Uh, General Xu, please come in." He turned around and smiled at the man, "This man is my brother. It will be easier to deal with Ping An Fengyunhou with him. If this man gets murderous, anyone who resists will be chopped into pieces."
The first sentence has a double meaning, because I do feel that things are much easier to deal with; and the second sentence is a reminder to the man surnamed Xu.
Along the way, Shi Wei was in the front, I was in the second, the man surnamed Xu was in the third, and Long Xing was in the fourth. We walked in a line, seemingly calm. I don't know how Long Xing got here, but he must have come here by chance, and then somehow got to know about me and came to save me. He was so brave that he came directly to kidnap the beast and forced him to let the people below release me. But he was obviously also very interested in how I escaped, and the two of us have always had a tacit understanding in bluffing together, so we started. Although we conveyed the information, something went wrong.
"Brother, you are not in Jingzhou, why are you here?" I didn't expect that he was so fluent in the local accent. I think the Xianbei people are really geniuses in learning languages.
"Oh, I was falsely accused of murder and was imprisoned in the death row. Fortunately, someone helped me escape, so I came here to seek refuge with General Wang and have a meal. Now General Wang is in the lobby to meet the Marquis. Hey? I remember that you didn't live in Jingzhou before? Why did you come here and seek refuge with General Xu?"
"Ah, the water is high recently, and my merchant ship was washed away. Fortunately, there are people from other merchant ships coming here, but we are short of people, so I came here to ask for food."
"Okay, okay!" I didn't expect it at the time, and neither did my brother, that we had made a big mistake. I had no other reason than to think that we were too young.
"I'll go in and report first. Please wait outside for a moment, General Xu." He still greeted the three of us very respectfully. We both looked at General Xu, and he nodded without saying anything.
We realized something was wrong because after a while, there was no sound in the house.
Fortunately, we both noticed the problem before we were too excited. So, Li Beihai frowned at me, then pulled out the longbow hanging on his back, drew the bow and put an arrow on it, and walked towards the front of the main hall.
I saw on his face that things were not going well. Arrows flew from longbows, and the soldiers suddenly rushed into the hall in a panic. The sound of weapons clashing, the sound of arrows breaking people's bones, the wailing of the wounded, the shouting of fighting, and the sound of calling for reinforcements all proved this. Even the sky suddenly thundered in response. I immediately chose to grab General Xu's collar, and before he had time to panic, I made his head hit the pillar next to him. I rarely suffer losses in competitions, and fortunately this time was no exception. I don't know if he tried to struggle, but this time he had no chance. Looking at the red and yellow on the pillar, I could only say in my heart: "I'm sorry!" I dragged out the man's sword and immediately joined the battle group over there.
The soldiers in the corridor were fighting with Tu Da and Tu Si, and fighting together seemed to mean that they had a good relationship, but there was no such mood here at all. The scene was more like everyone eating meat together, holding on to wrestling and unable to let go, and these brothers started biting each other.
And Po Liu Han Lieya didn't even bother to deal with the fat man in front of the door, he just shot inside.
Several people had already fallen in the hall. Wang Wei was fighting with the guards with his sword drawn. The situation was very critical. Fortunately, Beihai helped to hold the position and they were able to hold on. At this moment, people were still falling in the crowd around them. I met General Wang with Beihai. Although he didn't know Wang Wei, he could understand that the person in the circle in the hall was the one I was talking about, so he used arrows to protect him.
But I didn't think so much at that time. I rushed towards Tu Si directly and knocked him down with a sword. I really couldn't bring myself to kill this stupid fat guy. They were much more innocent than the beasts in the hall. However, based on my unpredictable strength, it might take a few hours for me to fall asleep.
After a few moments, Brother Tu and his brother fell asleep in roughly the same position.
The local battle situation immediately turned in our favor.
Long Xing and I were in a group. I held a sword and he held a bow. We killed whoever we met along the way. No one could stop us. We chased after that bastard.
"The one wearing the best clothes? He's always hiding behind the pillar, just force him out." He was still able to communicate with me while drawing the bow and arrow.
"Yes, shoot him and spare his life for me. In order to frame me, he even killed his own father. I want to settle accounts with him." While looking for him, I also briefly described the scene at that time, but it was a bit exaggerated, at least his face was described as more beastly.
"Oh, such a damn thing." With gritting teeth, I believe that in this world at least this moral foundation is completely consistent.
"We have to hurry, the people outside might be coming."
"It doesn't matter. We have 300 people. Nan is outside the gate with dozens of brothers watching. There are also Wang Lian's people outside the city. If we fail, they will attack the city... Well, that son of a bitch's shoulder is exposed." There was a smile in his voice, and then the arrow in his hand flew out.
I knew it had definitely hit the target, I trusted his archery skills. As his arrow flew past, I immediately chased after it.
The beast used one hand to cover the pierced wound and the other hand to support himself with my spear. When he saw me coming, he raised my spear and tried to stab me.
"You are so brave!" I shouted, and then dragged the tip of the gun - I was definitely not brave enough to pull the tail. I grabbed the gun with one hand and shouted again, using the power of the roar and the power of the roar. It was like a thunderclap, and I pried him up and slammed him against the wall.
Maybe I was a little depressed that day and needed to vent. Anyway, I felt that my words at that time had some meaning of venting, and it was unwise to waste so much time at that time. Maybe I shouldn't call him Xie Zhi. But at that time, the gun was pointed at, and the man stood upright, and his generous words were all reasonable.
"You beast, you are so self-righteous. You are destined to achieve nothing. But even if you achieve nothing, compared to the people in the world, you are still very lucky. You have everything you want, from fine clothes to delicious food. You have everything you want. You, a beast, actually killed your own father. Do you know that your hair and bones are all given by your parents? They raised you for decades, but you, a beast, shot them with a gun in exchange for such a great favor. Can you live up to them?"
"Isn't it all because of you that I am in this situation?" He actually thought he had a reason, and he kept coughing while speaking viciously to me.
"Haha, you are so shameless. I am going home by boat. I have provoked you. You invited me to come. If I didn't respond, what would you do? You sent people to kill all the people on my boat. You thought that you would be in danger if you did it. So you tricked me ashore and sent people to kill all the boatmen on our boat, right?"
"You just realized this? Turns out you're just like this..." He said in a mocking tone.
"Ah... Bah! You beast, of course you don't understand. I went with you a long time ago because of this. That arrogant man was obviously very important to you, otherwise how could he dare to act so recklessly in front of you and show no respect for his elders. But you still killed him with one knife without any regrets. So I know that you are a ruthless person who will do anything to achieve your goals. I can only do this."
"I don't believe it! I don't believe you would do this for those slaves! How can you behave like Marquis Ping An Feng Yun?" He almost roared.
"This is the difference between you and me!" After saying that, I whipped his lower body viciously with the barrel of my gun. Just as I imagined, this pampered bastard's balls went soft in one go.
"Ah... I am a royal relative, let me go, otherwise you will... Ah... Marquis Ping An Fengyun, I am willing to follow you..."
"Want you? If I want you, I'll turn into a bastard." Hearing this, the more he thought about it, the more disgusted he felt. He exerted more force with his hands, and his throat began to hurt.
“Ah…” He couldn’t even shout for mercy afterwards, he could only wailing until he fell to one side, no longer shouting or moving.
Beihai swallowed his saliva beside me and said, "Brother, you are really ruthless."
"Hit him on the top and he will faint immediately. If not, he will die. That would be a waste of time for this bastard." I felt relieved. I took a quick look at the wound and breathed a sigh of relief. I pulled down a windproof curtain at the side of the hall, tied up the bastard, and dragged him away.
There didn't seem to be many guards in the palace. Wang Wei, who had been injured in several places, was standing not far behind me, with several exhausted soldiers scattered around the hall, looking at us. No one came to trouble us anymore, perhaps because the roars in the sky covered up the fighting here.
"Where is that Shi Wei just now?"
“Here, I left this bastard specially.” Wang Wei licked his bloody chin and dragged the old man out from his side. The old man was tied up and his face looked a little nervous and frightened.
"How did you know that?" I thought he knew what I was asking, so after looking at his expression, I added a few more words: "Be honest, and I won't kill you."
"That... that..."
"Hurry!" I waved my hand to signal Wang Wei not to scare him, but I didn't expect an arrow to pass through his hair. In response, I decided to look behind me with a somewhat angry and helpless look, and the man responded with an innocent blink.
“General Xu is present, how could two soldiers talk so loudly without considering the occasion? It was all about the personnel situation in the mansion at that time, but General Xu disagreed and didn't stop you. General Xu must have been coerced, and you two must be..." This person spoke so quickly that I almost didn't understand.
"Accomplice." I think he didn't dare to use this word. "Yes, we were careless. You are very smart. OK, General Wang, let him go."
"Let...let him go, how can we do that?"
"We are here to kill this beast who murdered his father. This man, including Tu Da and Tu Si, are not big villains. They are just servants of others."
"Then tie them up and wait for someone to rescue them. If you let them go, what will they do if they report the incident?"
"Then we'll kill them when the time comes." I laughed confidently. "We have people in the city, and people outside the city to support them. They have no brains, and we still have this bastard in our hands. They will just be scattered sand. If he goes, it will only add to their troubles. It's okay."
"Oh, all your people are here?" Wang Wei was a little surprised, and then a little impressed. I didn't know what he admired. If I didn't know who it was, then it wouldn't be wrong for me to go first. Seeing the people in front being let go, except for the two big guys who hadn't woken up yet, there were some who would never wake up again. I didn't have any thoughts of sighing, so I decided to introduce my brother and Wang Wei to each other first.
"Yes, Wang Wei, this is my brother, Li Beihai, whose archery skills are almost unmatched in the world." I introduced Beihai to Wang Wei, and Wang Wei to Li Beihai: "This is General Wang, called Wang Wei. If it weren't for him, I would never have come here."
"Thank you, General Wang, for helping my elder brother." The man immediately became polite and courteous, making me want to kick him again.
"I need you more. If it weren't for you, I would be lying here right now." Wang Wei laughed before he could catch his breath. He pointed at the person lying next to him and said, "This brother's surname is not very common. I wonder who he is and how he could have mastered this magic archery skill?"
"I'm originally from Youzhou. When I was young, I spent all day hunting in the wilderness. Over time, I developed this skill." Although his words were casual, I still felt that his pretentious tone suggested that he was asking for a beating.
But on the surface, I remained calm and interrupted the two people's desire and intention to chat: "Let's discuss what we should do next?"
There is no time to lose. The longer we delay, the worse it will be. So once we understood this, we all agreed. Wang Wei and I led the group, Beihai came in the rear, and we met and chatted with Nan outside. After a few pleasantries, we agreed to leave the city first.
But this time I calmed down, but I felt that it was difficult to deal with. Now that the Xunyang County Marquis was dead, I had to kill this beast. It would be difficult to clean up the mess. Who would own this piece of land? It was obviously inappropriate for a commoner like me to decide life and death. This time, it was a bit troublesome. I finally began to feel scared. I would never do this before, but this time, the chill on my back made me realize that I was a little scared. But after taking a look at the beast, I suddenly felt courage. I must kill this beast. But I still knew that this matter would cause trouble.
"Lord Fengyun Hou... what's wrong?" Wang Wei saw that something was wrong with me and asked in a questioning tone.
"I'm a little worried about whether this matter might cause trouble in the future." I spoke frankly.
"Well, it seems you are afraid too?" He was a little surprised by what I said, and his reaction was also unexpected to me.
"Of course, it's fine for me alone, but my relatives and wife... I always have some concerns in my heart."
"Brother, you should announce to the world that this beast was responsible for the murder of his father..."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." I shook my head. Compared with the Xianbei people, we Han people are still too complicated.
"Marquis Fengyun, I don't know, but there is one thing that may be of help." Wang Wei was a little uncertain, but he obviously remembered something.
"General Wang, please speak." I felt that this was an opportunity, so I continued asking.
"A waterside palace is being built here. Did you know?"
"I know about this matter. General Wang, please tell me in detail."
“To build the emperor’s palace, we must report to the emperor, and the emperor will send someone to supervise the construction.” Wang Wei smiled, and it was obvious that he had a solution: “This person is a eunuch…” He seemed to be still thinking, but I got the idea.
"How long has the palace been built?"
"It's been more than two years, and less than half of it has been built. This eunuch came here more than a year ago, and at that time he hadn't come out yet..." Wang Wei pointed to the north and nodded, indicating that he knew what was going on. At that time, Brother Meng De hadn't taken action yet, and the eunuchs and relatives of the emperor were all powerful. In this matter, the eunuchs obviously took advantage. But now it seems that this eunuch was lucky to be out on official business, otherwise, he would have been beheaded on the night of the Lantern Festival.
"Where is this person?"
"It's in the county marquis's mansion."
"It's getting late. Let's go back." I waved my hand and rode back.
The rain still didn't fall, and the defenders didn't show up.
This time we were lucky enough to stop the eunuch at the door. He was about to flee, dressed as a servant, but when he saw us in military uniforms, he was so scared that he couldn't even move.
"Eunuch Zhang, I hope you are okay."
Seeing that it was Wang Wei under the light at the door, he seemed relieved, "It turned out to be General Wang... I don't know how, a group of traitors came tonight and captured the old marquis. They may be the old marquis's loyalists. Hey, what's going on? I don't know what to do down there? There is a mess here. If the higher-ups find out, it will be troublesome." As he spoke, the man became anxious again.
"That's why I need your help." I dismounted, smiling, feeling that there was no need to worry about the matter.
“What’s going on? Who is this…” The man looked at me and smiled. He seemed to feel a little relieved, and then he became a little more relaxed.
"This is Lord Xie Zhi, Marquis of Ping'an Fengyun." Wang Wei introduced me very respectfully, and the man became stiff again.
“Ping… Ping… Ping… An… Fengyun Hou.” The man looked at me nervously, and then his eyes naturally searched behind me.
A flash of light flashed by at the right time, and the beast thrown on the horse's back must have been seen by him.
This time he was so surprised that he knelt down on the ground and said, "Lord Ping'an Fengyun Hou, am I not the same as that beast who killed his father?"
"I know." I nodded, showing absolute trust, because I really needed this person at the moment: "You go back and report to the emperor for me, and report what happened here truthfully." I thought as I got here, and I laughed, "It's okay, when you go back, just go to my teacher, and he will have a better way for you. I will write you a letter, and you dress up as an ordinary person and go to Luoyang, so as not to be caught and lose your life. You must know that if you pretend to be my brother Meng De's men on the road, you will have no life, and you must report my name." This was to scare him and comfort him, to force him to help me, and to give him a relatively better way to survive.
This eunuch was quite sensible. Not only did he quickly thank us, he also volunteered to take us out of the city.
This time is even better. If I go ahead, I will inevitably lose my brothers. If I do it for me, I will definitely feel very guilty. If I have him, there will be no difficulty below.
It was really convenient to have this guy. They passed all the way without any hindrance. All the guards kept silent and let them go. Originally, it was probably because there was no leader and everyone was not on the same page, so most of them pretended to be deaf and dumb. It just so happened that there was such a eunuch in the team. When everyone saw him, they were probably even more suspicious. After all, he was an imperial envoy sent by the emperor. Even if they saw the owner of the zongzi in the crowd, they would probably pretend to be blind.
It was dawn, and it didn't rain that night.
A mile outside the city, I heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the left. In the dim light, I could vaguely see the figure on the leading horse, and I remembered the scene when I met him in Yunmeng. That scene was really unforgettable, and I remember the excitement that I could not suppress at that time.
"Wang Lian, right?" I can still remember his name, which is rare for me.
"Why are you here so late?" Long Xing shouted.
"There was a fire coming out of the palace over there, and we saw a group of soldiers just passing by. We were afraid something might happen, so we hid first. We only came out when we saw them passing by."
"Oh, that means our brothers over there succeeded. Let's go to the riverside. They are waiting for us there."
"It just so happens that our boat is also sailing along the river."
"Then take this bastard away too?"
"What do you mean, Long Xing?" I could already sense the strong murderous intent in my brother, and I also felt that there was no need to bring this bastard with me, and I had no reason not to find a more ferocious place to deal with this beast.
"Shall I come?"
"good!"
Long Xing rode over and deftly picked up the húndan, who was beginning to understand his situation and screaming like a pig being slaughtered, with one hand, and rode away into the distance.
When my brother was away doing business, I noticed someone was shaking, so I naturally went over to comfort him. Unexpectedly, the man wanted to comfort me: "That beast should be killed! It should be killed!" But his tone was full of fear.
I know I don't need to do anything, just don't let him get scared again. But I can't guarantee that Long Xing will bring back a head.
Suddenly my face became wet, and I couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Pieces of water flowers hit my face and splashed into my eyes, blurring the gray sky and dark brown clouds.
"It's finally raining." I don't know whose it is.
"That bastard must be dead," I said to myself, "I wonder how many wronged souls can finally rest in peace."
"You're back so soon?"
"Don't worry, I'll let him off easily. I ripped open his chest, and took away his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose..."
"Alright, alright, no need to describe it in such detail, I understand it now."
When they asked about my wife's injuries, they just said it wasn't serious but didn't say much, and I was helpless.
After that, we picked up our brother and headed west to our hometown. We didn't care what would happen next, because the eunuch would help us, and because at this special time, we would also help him. Perhaps this is the simplest politics, exchanging the rights of the other party for our own benefit.
This is something I learned on my own, and sometimes it makes me sick, even though it’s so easy to do and saves a lot of trouble.
In late summer, the still prevailing southeasterly wind allowed our boat to sail against the current without any problems. I told stories to my brothers, or they pestered me to tell stories. But they were all stories about Mingzi, stories that were hard to tell in a lifetime. Beihai Nan sometimes listened for a while, but would soon leave, lowering his head and keeping silent. Wang Wei listened very carefully, so much so that when he heard me being knocked unconscious by the big guy one evening, he suddenly told me the reason he guessed the big guy did this. At that time, if it were him, he would probably do the same.
"Marquis Fengyun, please don't be offended. I am just guessing. I think he is desperate! Yes, although the situation was urgent, he still had the hope and confidence to survive. Everyone has the hope, but the confidence was originally given to him by you. But this time when you fell, he was awakened. He thought that you were just an ordinary person and could not guarantee that they would survive and kill those Xiliang people. But they are very... you, they don't want you..., so they came up with this idea."
"Thank you." I finally understood, but after I understood it, all that was left was the desolation brought by the breeze under the setting sun.
What surprised me was that Wang Wei was a man with a lot of ideas. He seemed a little confused at ordinary times, but when it came to making a move, he was still very thoughtful. This man was very good, and as a Jingzhou native, his personality was somewhat like that of Jingzhou people. Even though he was a military general, he was still a little pedantic.
But what surprised me even more was that Beihai had become very literary. This must be the "bad result" of often asking his wife for advice on how to compose poems and essays. This originally rough man had become like a scholar, which still made people feel uncomfortable.
What surprised me as a person was that Nan no longer liked to make so much noise, and he was calm and thinking about something like a girl. I asked his brother-in-law, and it was Wenwen's credit. According to unreliable leaks, Wenwen and Nan were very close. He felt that the two of them had done things like crosses, circles, and bars. I really wanted to know who taught them these disgusting words, but I didn't have to think too much, Fang Han's head appeared in my mind. But I don't think they would do such things; but even if they did, it would be fine as long as there were no consequences; even if there were consequences, they could hide in a mountain village in Shushan, secretly settle the matter, and entrust it to the local people, and... Well, I decided to interrupt my bad taste because Wang Lian said goodbye to us.
Wang Lian left us for Changsha with a large group of people. He was originally called by Po Liu Han Lie Ya to help. When he left, he suddenly smiled and gave us some news, "Sister Zheng is about to give birth. It will happen in this month. Brother Zheng has more pimples on his face."
I immediately interrupted the idea of these people to fight against Brother Wen Zheng Qiu Feng, only Xiangyang had something to do. Unexpectedly, Beihai began to complain: "Brother, I have nothing to do. Your teacher and your senior brother, they don't trust me, they only let me teach the soldiers to practice archery. I can mobilize only a few dozen soldiers, and most of them are from my clan. What's the matter? I have been with Chen Liang, and he smiled at me. It's just that we are not fighting now. When the war comes, I will naturally have soldiers I can mobilize. Well, when I think about it, it's right. I never brought the army... Oh, I'm sorry, brother." He waved his hand, "I was bored, and after a hundred days, I took a fifteen-day vacation. My wife went back to her parents' home to recuperate, and Xue'er was also taken away. I was alone, dragging Nan out to play."
"Beihai, you don't think it's cruel. Wenwen will definitely blame you for bringing Nan out this time." I said with a smile.
"Well, your master told me to do this."
"Master? My master has returned to Xiangyang."
"Yes, he is a great archer. We have fought several times, but I didn't beat him once. Most of the time, the result was a draw. I even lost once. It was all because I was too impatient." His words seemed to indicate that he wanted to fight Sanbaihe again after returning.
"Master is back?" I was a little confused, so I hurried back to ask.
Although the days are slow now, they still pass in the blink of an eye. It is sad when they are passing, but it feels too hasty when they are gone. As the saying goes, time flies. This is what it means.
Since landing in Jiangling, we abandoned the boat and changed horses. Since Brother Fan was in the capital, the affairs here were left to the fat man brought by Uncle San. I remember his courtesy name: "Tongfei", but I can't remember his name. I just remember that I thought about this person in this life, even if he couldn't fly in the previous life or the next life, so it's easy to remember.
"Brother Tongfei, how are you?" I greeted him warmly, as if we were very familiar with each other.
"Ah, Brother Zirui, how are you doing out there?" He was also very enthusiastic, as if we were really familiar with each other.
That day, I drafted a letter and pondered for a whole afternoon. Finally, I put together a bad piece of writing. I gave it to the eunuch as a letter to my teacher. In order to prevent my brother Meng De from being quick, I asked him to change into the clothes of a soldier in Jingzhou and let him go as a messenger. The rest was normal, but the messenger was changed to a eunuch, and the reason for the letter was to use the name of Brother Wendong. For this reason, I wrote several times on the cover of the letter, and accidentally wrote Ping An Fengyun Hou or Xie Zhi on it. I could only shake my head and sigh in self-mockery, and laugh helplessly.
The matter came to an end. The most important thing was to return to the city. Beihai had originally planned to let me rest with them for a day before leaving, but it was difficult to pass the time on the water. Just based on this, I had to have a new understanding of him, but I still let him rest, but I had a lot of things to do, so he wanted to go with me, but I also persuaded him. Wang Wei didn't need my persuasion. After being convinced by me, Beihai recounted my words in a different way and kept him for a night.
Along the way, I just kept urging the horses and whipping them, which made my horse suffer. But I was well prepared because I brought fifteen horses, tied in a string behind me. But the fact proved that I was worrying too much, and I only had to use six horses to get home. I changed another horse at the city gate, left the rest to accompany the brothers at the city gate, and went home.
This time, it was another night. Last time, I came home in the same situation and mistook Guo Pei for Yin Ling. But this time, it must be Guo Pei who stayed at home, at least I avoided a mistake. This time, the sky was full of stars, which was different from last time when I couldn't see anything. This time, the streets were full of naked men enjoying the cool air and women wearing a little more clothes, which was also a little different from last time. Last time, it was a good time to enjoy the cool air. The weather was cold enough to freeze, but no one was wearing such clothes outside. This time, I didn't run into the patrol team, which was considered lucky. Last time, I was excited to come back. This time, I didn't know what I felt. I could only be happy secretly. But the same thing was that I decided to "lurk" into my own house like last time. I also dreamed that because of this sudden joy, Guo Pei's health suddenly got better.
So, I got off my horse before I even reached the door, ran home, and covered the mouth of the guard who was about to announce the good news, then signaled him not to say anything, and I tiptoed in. But he still said something, but I didn't blame him, I just lowered my head and went out by myself, because he said to me very politely: "Marquis Fengyun, your house is next door."
In the future, if I am in power, I will make sure that every newly built house looks different from the outside, and that the screens inside are engraved with words, and that all cars have the owner's name embroidered on the outside, and... There is no more, because I still covered the guard at the door of my house, but he pointed his finger at my back. Although I didn't believe that I would make the same mistake twice, I decided to look at the plaque first, and then immediately let go of my hand and signaled that he didn't want anything, but he couldn't help it, and this time I was very dissatisfied: "Lord Fengyunhou, Li Liu's next door is over there."
Finally, I stared at the plaque of Prince Ping'an's Mansion for a long time, and when I was sure that there was no change, I felt relieved and went in. As for this embarrassing incident, I am good at shirking responsibility in this regard. I think this time the responsibility is not on me, because the door was dim, and the most important thing is that there was not even a guard. The door opened easily. When I passed by, I thought it was Hyogo.
That night, I walked in like this without being stopped. I was very puzzled, because my house didn't even have a security guard, which was too strange.
But what was interesting was that the scene that day was exactly the same as the previous time. Kong Ming was still copying books on the table, and Guo Pei was sitting there with her back to me, looking at Kong Ming. Kong Ming was no longer pouting, and it seemed that he no longer "hated" reading so much. But Song Qian, Chen Wu and the others were not there, so there were only the two of them in the room.
I sneaked in from the same window, quietly sat down behind Yu Pei'er, and said softly and gently, "I'm back."
The woman turned around in astonishment and looked at me as if frightened.
But I was the most frightened. I quickly stood up, took two steps back, and immediately knelt down, saying in a trembling voice, "I didn't know my mother was coming. I'm so rude."
