Great Sui Guoshi

The small kitchen was crowded, and the dim oil lamp illuminated the shadow of five people and a toad sitting around a round table and eating their long-lost dinner. They talked about some things they had seen and heard on the way, warm and lively, talking and laughing through the crack of the door, and floated to the yard. inside.

Chapter 298 The Autumn Days Are Long and the Leaves Are Gradually Yellowing

The old tree in the courtyard swayed slightly as the night wind blew, and a warm yellow light shone through the gap in the door of the stove not far away.

"...You don't know the four scholars trapped in Lanruo Temple this time, no, there are five, and I can recognize who they are at a glance...It is Li Fushui Nanxiang, not far from the county, those four idiots!"

"Also, the monster in Lanruo Temple is very familiar with the scholar Lu Dashu, as soon as they meet..."

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the woman in the red dress who was serving vegetables for Li Jinhua, and her words changed suddenly: "...let him go."

The oil lamp stood on the stove, and in the small stove, Sun Yingxian, who was sitting around the round table, gestured with chopsticks, and told Lu Laoshi and his wife about all the things that happened to him all the way north, and kept his chopsticks in his mouth and opened his eyes wide Lu Xiaoxian, who heard their expressions froze for a while.

"...Later, when going north, Lao Lu sent three apprentices to travel separately. On the way, he also ran into a little green snake. Hey, he was very spiritual. He reckoned that he would soon be able to do it. He just followed us to Niutouji. It’s nothing, but when we got there, we encountered corpses, the people who had just died got up in the middle of the night, and ran after an inn clerk all over the street, fortunately, we met this way, guess what happened next?”

Li Jinhua and Lu Laoshi opened and closed their mouths slightly, and forgot to eat the meal. Taking advantage of them not recovering, the Taoist quickly took a piece of fat meat and ate it into his mouth, causing Lu Xiaoxian to poke it hard with his chopsticks.

"Then, don't worry about eating, talk quickly, what happened next."

The gossip about the parents and the west is enough for everyone to eat melons and watch the fun for a long time, not to mention the stories about gods and ghosts, you will be fascinated as soon as you hear them.

The Taoist felt a sense of comfort when he saw Xiaoxian who was getting more and more beautiful, especially when the chopsticks poked his body, he squinted his eyes and sighed in enjoyment.

"it is good....."

Before the word 'shuang' could be sighed, Li Jinhua gave him a sideways glance as he was knocked on the head with chopsticks across a seat.

"speak!"

"Oh." The Taoist stared at her, shrank his neck in fright, sat upright, and started talking again.

Seeing him slumped, Lu Liangsheng chuckled slightly. After picking up food for his parents, he picked up a chopstick for Hong Lian beside him. Inhale lightly and taste the essence of the meal.

After taking a sip, Hong Lian pulled the scholar.

"Young master, is what Daoist Sun said true?"

"Well, that little green snake also saved the master who fell into the water." Lu Liangsheng took a bite of his meal and talked about what he had seen and heard along the way. On the table next to the cuffs, Daoist Toad sat there with his legs spread apart, hugging him. Red Rooster Bowl froze for a moment.

.....To his mother, if you give her food, don't you give it to the old man?He also talked about the shortcomings of the old man.

Could it be that the old man must be able to swim?

evil.....

Over there, Lu Liangsheng picked up a piece of braised pork, put it in Taoist Ha's bowl, and said softly, "Master, eat slowly."

Uh.....

Taoist Toad looked at the fragrant meat in the bowl, then at the apprentice who turned his head to talk to the little ghost, rolled the meat into his mouth with his tongue and chewed slowly.

"Sure enough, the disciple still loves the master, it's so sweet!"

The light was warm and yellow, illuminating the figures around the table. The Taoist boasted and talked, which made Lu Laoshi, Li Jinhua, and Lu Xiaoxian laugh. The fins hung outside the bowl and kicked, and the upper body was buried in the bowl, eating happily.

After the meal, the Taoist, who was full of wine and food, was still sitting there, talking with Xiaoxian, Hong Lian helped the woman clean up the dishes, and Lu Laoshi, who had nothing to do, sat at the mouth of the stove, taking advantage of the embers of fire inside. Bright, braided hemp shoes.

Pushing open the door of the stove, Lu Liangsheng took the toad, walked under the eaves and returned to the house, touched the wick with his fingertips, and the dim light illuminated everything.

Right now the three apprentices have already traveled abroad, and they will not return to live here, but they are not in a hurry to return to the thatched cottage on the mountain, let's talk about it after staying at home for a while.

Put the master on the desk, spread out a quilt, took a few books and put them on the bedside pillow to read, Hong Lian came in, moved the oil lamp on the desk, covered the big fire light, sat next to the scholar, It illuminates the figure reading a book by the bedside.

Flipping through the ink-scented pages, Lu Liangsheng looked at the content vertically and vertically on the book, and chatted and laughed with the woman beside him for a while, the night was getting darker, Hong Lian was going back to the clay sculpture in the temple, so he sent it to the courtyard , watching her disappear and leave.

'After removing the ghast, it becomes more and more...'

Whispering, seeing the bright moon growing taller, sneaking into the courtyard gate along the fence, when the child saw the gentleman standing in the courtyard, he immediately kept the posture of sneaking in and froze on the spot, stammering.

"Sir... when did you come back?"

"Go to mother?"

"hey-hey."

"Go back to your room."

Lu Liangsheng waved at him. Although he was a child, he was smarter and precocious than ordinary children. Seeing that his mother was filial, he naturally didn't say anything about him.

Turning around and returning to the room, Taoist Toad had already nestled in the bookshelf compartment, pulled the quilt over it, and patted the corner of the bed.

"Liangsheng, blow out the lamp!"

Soon, the lighted window sills went dark, and in the dead of night, a fox chirped occasionally from the foot of the mountain outside the village, and the bookshelves perched on the bookshelf turned into smoke, fell to the ground and turned into a human shape, looked at the moonlight outside the window, quietly Climb up on the bed, lie down next to the scholar, and fall asleep together.

She's used to it.

......

Oh oh oh... oh oh——

The rooster stands on the fence wall and raises its head and crows, and the white belly of the east clouds rises. The morning light breaks through the clouds, pushes away the darkness along the foothills and fields, and wraps in the distant mountain villages.

Cooking smoke billowed up, and the morning dew accumulated on the tip of the leaves was crumbling. The door of a room in the courtyard opened, and Lu Liangsheng came out and stood under the eaves and stretched.Lu Xiaoxian, Mingyue on the second floor, and the Taoist all yawned, the latter turned over and jumped down, and the three of them went to the water tank to wash.

'Gu Bobo~~'

Facing the sun, the three of them wrapped their mouths in clear water, and they all turned down together, 'Hey! 'Spit it out.

Uh huh huh! !

In the early morning in the courtyard, it was getting lively. The old donkey pulled the other strong donkey out of the hut with the rein in its mouth, and dragged it for a walk outside the village.

Li Jinhua walked into the kitchen and cooked breakfast. Her husband, with dark eyes, sat down at the door, holding the unfinished hemp shoes from last night, and was in a daze in the morning sun.

Taoist Toad jumped onto the window lattice, rubbed his eye sockets, smacked his lips, watched the three washers leave, and then wriggled his bulging waist in a 'hey, hey, hey'.

Afterwards, the woman who had cooked the meal picked it up, threw it to the vegetable garden, clapped her hands, pinched her husband's ears, dragged him to the kitchen, and turned around to yell at the sons, daughters, and Taoists in the yard.

"Have a meal!"

The three people in the courtyard laughed, and Lu Liangsheng picked up the puffed-up master from the vegetable garden, put it on his shoulders, and walked into the kitchen together.

"Master, don't be angry, let's eat."

In the golden morning light, the bird landed on the side of the water tank, combed its feathers according to the reflection in the water, turned its nimble head to the courtyard gate, and a woman in a red dress came in with a smile, chirped and twittered twice, and happily flapped her wings and flew over , stopped in the woman's hand, and flew to the cypress tree in the courtyard.

In the wind, the old tree swayed gently, and the green leaves gradually turned yellow and fell.

It is late autumn.

The sixth volume of Kyushu Mountains and Seas, Fengming is stained with blood, the scholar is still there

Chapter 299 Under the tide, there is also a warm current

The snow-covered city wall stretches, row upon row of houses and buildings, the noisy long street, people who get up early to clean the street, in the sweeping snowflakes, children laughing and chasing and running across the street, causing their parents to scold them loudly.

In the hustle and bustle of the streets, people who are free at the end of the year chat and laugh together, buy new year's goods, and ask for advice and bargain with vendors on the street and in shops.

White air gushed out of his mouth and nose and rose into the air. In the golden palace of the imperial city in the distance, the lampposts continued to burn, and the hanging curtains of the pillars suddenly moved, bang, something hit the ground, and bounced off the feet of a group of civil and military personnel.

"I founded the country in the Sui Dynasty, abandoned the weakness of the previous dynasty, and never thought of paying tribute and marriage to that Turkic barbarian!!"

The gold and red carpet went straight up the imperial steps. After the imperial case, a crown of pearl curtains shook wildly. Yang Jian leaped down the imperial steps and slapped the fence carved with golden patterns in the Dragon Court.

Throw a piece of paper with the border urgent report down.

"...You all look, should these Turkic people be killed!? Do you think that when I was newly established in the Sui Dynasty, I would be as easy to bully as Zhou and Qi? While I am unifying the north and the south and rectifying the interior, I have no time to spare. Gathering the frontiers, capturing Linyu Town, and burning, killing and looting Wuwei, Tianshui, Anding, Jincheng, and Shangjun, all animals will be exhausted!!"

He walked down the imperial steps and stood still, his eyes glanced at the crowd of civil and military men for a moment, then raised his white-stained head, closed his eyes, and looked at the winter sun outside

"The remnants of the Southern Dynasties are not over yet, but there are no obstacles. I think it's time to free up my hands."

Clenching his fists behind his back, he withdrew his gaze from outside the hall, turned around and walked back to the golden seat step by step, speaking word by word.

"The decree is to build fortresses around the border as barriers and heighten the Great Wall. The soldiers of Shangzhu State Yinshou stationed Youyan to train soldiers, Shangzhu State Li Guang stationed troops in Mayi, and Prince Yang Yong entered Xianyang to guard against Turks! The rest stepped up training and raised war horses. Afterwards, the three armies will go north!"

Yang Jian's voice stopped, and the pen and ink in his hand also stopped, and he threw away the dragon case.

"...Let them see if the Sui man's blade is sharp!"

With a flick of the dragon sleeve, he shouted: "Retire."

In the summer and autumn, the Turks invaded the northern land on a large scale. From east to west, wars raged everywhere, threatening to destroy the Sui Dynasty. Yang Jian broke out completely and issued orders. Messages rushed to the state capitals through fast horses and starry nights, carrying huge amounts of information. Official documents came and went on the official road intensively, countless people received the news, and were horrified speechless.

In several states in the north, the army, food and grass were mobilized and gathered, and the atmosphere had become solemn and dignified.

In Chang'an City, on the snow-covered road, Qu Yuanfeng stopped his horse, handed over the reins to his servants, and walked into the backyard of the mansion in armor. Hearing the sound of fists vibrating the air, he took off the cloak behind him and handed it to the man beside him. Maid, sat down on a nearby stone bench and drank the hot tea brought by the servants.

Qu Yuanfeng has been in the army for a few months now. Compared with his former stature, he is much darker. He looks majestic in armor. In the army, he is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also has good knowledge. Changed to a formation, practiced with hundreds of soldiers under his command. During the military drills, he often won the three armies bravely, and was deeply loved by his superiors.

Every time I go back to the mansion, I will tell my brother Yu Wentuo what the general heard and saw, and it is the same when I come back this time. Waiting for the punches and kicks to stop, Yu Wentuo restrained his breath, put down his teacup, and greeted him excitedly.

"Brother."

"Are you back?" Yu Wentuo took the towel from the servant girl and wiped off some sweat on his hands, turned his head to look at his junior brother, and walked back together to the stone table and bench under the tree and sat down.

"Seeing that you are so happy, you have been promoted again?"

"No." Qu Yuanfeng, who was quite honest, had a smile on his dark face, and he didn't know where to start, and gestured excitedly.

"But it's better than being promoted..."

Organized the language, and then said: ".....I'm going to collect the ground."

Over there, the teacup raised to his mouth hovered, and Yu Wentuo turned his gaze to look at the younger brother who still had a smile on his face.

"fight?"

Sitting in the city of Chang'an, he didn't know the news of the wind and rain on the border during this period, but it was a matter of the court, and it had nothing to do with him as a loose official.

"Brother doesn't seem to want me to go?"

Sitting there, Qu Yuanfeng saw that his expression was a bit strange, shook his head slightly, and laughed: "Junior brother will be fine, the Fenglin Huo formation method taught by Master was used by me on the soldiers, and it evolved into a formation, which happened to be used by the Turks. Practice your hands, these barbarians are burning, killing and looting everywhere, bullying me that there is no one in the Sui Dynasty, and I can't stand it anymore. Two days ago, Your Majesty became war-hearted, so I applied to the superiors for transfer to the land."

"Why didn't you mention it before?" Yu Wentuo frowned, put down his cup: "Have you asked Master about this?"

Over there, Qu Yuanfeng waved his hand nonchalantly.

"How can the magic weapon of communication given by master be used at will? Don't bother with such trivial matters. Senior brother just sit quietly in the city and wait for the news of junior brother's victory. From now on, our two senior brothers, one civil and one military, one internal and one external, will give the master good looks." !"

"Let's be honest, among the four brothers and sisters, you are the one who is more thoughtful."

Yu Wentuo also couldn't help him, he had seen the 'Fenglin Volcano' formation, the offensive was like fire, the formation was like a mountain, and the march was like a strong wind blowing the ground, traveling thousands of miles a day, passing mountains and swamps like a green forest.

It shouldn't be difficult to deal with the Turkic people. Even if there is a mistake, it is extremely simple to get out of the body.

"That's up to you. If you encounter difficulties, you can call Master, or me, to come and help you."

"Hahaha, I'm afraid that senior brother wants to come, and I won't see a few Turkic people!"

The two brothers and sisters sat in the courtyard and talked for a while, and then Qu Yuanfeng left because there were still official duties to be handed over in the army.

Regarding the upcoming military front, the north has already spread, but the south knows that it is only after the spring of the second year that Jiangdong, who has experienced the destruction of Nanchen, chooses to avoid such news, and more Or put it on the current New Year's Day, as well as new wonders in various places.

In the more remote Fushui County, the teahouses and restaurants in the city are often referred to as Qixia Mountain.

"It was unimaginable that Qixia Mountain was so remote and barren back then, but now it is full of pilgrims and business travelers, and cars come and go on official roads, and even the wilderness has become a good place for outings for rich children and literati. There is a red pity temple in the mountain, the temple is not big, but there are spiritual manifestations, and it protects those who come to offer incense..."

Bah!

On the long green cloth table, Jing Tang wooden storyteller dropped his hands and cleared his throat.

"... But before talking about the Honglian Temple, there is one person that needs to be mentioned. That person's surname is Lu and his name is Liangsheng. He studied under the great Confucian Wang Shuhua, studied classics, and stayed up all night in astronomy and geography. It is rumored that he is still a master. His cultivation level is profound, he can explore the sun and the moon, capture dragons in the deep sea, and move mountains and seas with his own hands. When he watched the sky that day and night, he frowned, and found that there was auspiciousness overflowing from Qixia Mountain, and the temple was erected to bless the people..."

The exaggerated statement catered to everyone's taste, and the tea drinkers and diners below were taken aback for a while.

"Lu Liangsheng is Lu Langhu who smashed the Golden Palace in anger?"

"Haha, I know this person, but I don't know if there is a marriage contract. I happen to have a daughter..."

"That's how it was said a few years ago, your daughter hasn't married yet?"

"Hmph, old man's daughter, rare goods to live in!"
