Great Sui Guoshi

"Won......"

Looking at the horrific scene, Liu Jianwu could hardly hold the long sword in his hand. Soon, the news of Murong Fuyun's execution was spread back, and he also spread it to Chang'an, which is farther to the east.

Chapter 626 Called by Mother

The morning sun shines through the bustling Chang'an, and there are long humming sounds in the streets and alleys, and the voices of people are loud and noisy. In contrast, Furong Pond is quiet and pleasant, and the falling autumn leaves are whirling and floating to the ground. Taoist Toad is lying under the tree He yawned a few times in a row, looked sleepily at the children who were sitting on the small stool in the distance, who could read and write, and heard a sound of reading, "Oh~~" He yawned again, changed his position and closed his eyes again. toad eye.

The Taoist swept the fallen leaves on the stone steps, carried them on his shoulders and walked over there, and occasionally stopped with the broom, watching the scholar with his hands behind his back passing by the group of children, he read a paragraph along with him, shook his head, and decided to forget it.

Sitting on the threshold, Zhu Gang squinted his eyes, and held a small embroidery in his big black-haired hands. He threaded stitches and threads on it, embroidering the clouds, the bright moon in the sky, and the vague silhouette of a woman with fluttering sleeves. Not yet formed, guessing the time, took the copper spoon that was put aside and knocked on the threshold, like a certain heroic woman in Lujia Village, howled over there.

"dinner's ready."

Soon, the scholar with his hands behind his back looked up at Qiqi's immature faces, smiled and waved his hands, and a group of children sitting behind the short benches immediately got up, picked up their books, and ran away happily attic.

Many round tables were set up in the main hall, Zhu Erniang was busy with eight feet, scooping up vegetables and rice, and Hong Lian took over the dishes and brought them to the table. The children who came in were no longer afraid, holding the bowls forked by their long hairy legs with both hands chopsticks, and thanked her politely, Zhu Erniang was so happy that she grinned and showed a row of sharp teeth.

Tables and tables of little people were holding dishes and chopsticks and quickly picking up vegetables and planing rice. They couldn't bear to drop any grains of rice. Then Zhu Gangli went back upstairs with satisfaction, took out his embroidery and embroidered some more while there was still time.

In the square outside the building, a scholar in a green shirt took the books on the table, and the thumb-sized scabbard around his waist dangled. He walked under the shade of the trees over there, and took the sleepy master and put it on his shoulder.

"Master, go back to sleep in the house."

The Taoist who came up with his broom smiled and picked his chin: "In the past two days, have you been in a good mood?"

"Aren't you happy to have to paint on your face all the time?"

Lu Liangsheng followed suit with a smile, went to the attic, touched Mingyue's bun standing by the door, and put the book in his hand on the little man's outstretched hands.

"Why don't you go in and eat?"

"Hmph, I don't want to eat with them." Mingyue glanced at the noisy scene inside, and the children looked over and waved at him. Mingyue quickly turned her face away, raised her face with her book in her arms, and ran to the stairs with a bang. .

"This kid..."

Lu Liangsheng shook his head, walked through the main hall, and the children who were eating got up together, with food in their mouths, or bowls and chopsticks in their hands, and respectfully shouted: "Sir!"

"Don't talk while eating, hurry up and finish eating, so we can go play!"

Lu Liangsheng watched them press their hands, then smiled and nodded at Zhu Erniang over there, went back to the attic, put Master on the couch, covered him with a quilt, and sat down at the desk. A long sword lay there quietly, it was the Moon Misty Sword that had flown back from Yumen Pass.

"Hurry back then, do you know the situation over there?"

On the horizontal sword surface, the engravings move all the time, and Pudu Cihang's voice can be clearly heard from it.

"...It's too cold over there, so I didn't notice anything. I dropped it and gave it to your apprentice, and I rushed back."

"Didn't see anything?"

"I see, your apprentice still has blood on his body, his spirit is weak, and there are many people rushing to die! If it weren't for this father, they would really be dead!"

Lu Liangsheng grabbed the hilt of the sword, threw the Moon Misty Sword, which was still chattering, behind it, flew into the air and inserted it into the scabbard. Although the words were unknown, judging by the tone of its speech, there should be no major problems. If something difficult happened , Yue Hao will not sit idly by, after all, it is not just simple and spiritual, it will still judge the situation.

'The battle report will be sent back quickly, and it will take ten days at least, so we should hurry up and teach these children. '

Thinking about it, Lu Liangsheng got up and was about to go downstairs for lunch. When he walked to the door, the open window behind him creaked and groaned, and a gust of wind brought a dead leaf in, and it wobbled to the desk.

The scholar picked up a five-pointed maple leaf. There is no such tree in the forest near Wanshou Temple, so he couldn't help looking out the window.

"Young master! Let's go downstairs for dinner!"

Hong Lian's voice sounded outside, the woman opened the door and came in, there was no figure of a scholar in the room, she tilted her head in doubt, and looked at a maple leaf quietly placed on the table.

......

To the east of Chang’an, the undulating mountains are mixed with yellow and green. At this time, there are still many pedestrians and tourists going to and from Lishan Mountain. I didn’t meet that Xiaodie who came out to buy tea at the tea shop in the past. I went along the stone steps that I often walk. To the Old Mother Temple, on the stone steps, the moss turned yellow. In front of the temple gate, an old woman wrapped in a cloth scarf came out with a basket, looked at the smiling scholar, snorted, turned and walked away Go to a side path.

'Uh... am I making my mother unhappy? '

chirp chirp~~~

There are also birds chirping in the woods, shaking the branches and jumping around, blinking their eyes to look at the old woman and the scholar walking on the path one after the other, and then fly down the branches, walking slowly in front The old woman reached out to catch the bird, and sat down on a dead tree lying beside her.

"Mother."

Lu Liangsheng followed, seeing the old woman teasing the little bird expressionlessly, ignored him, smiled and went to pick up the basket on the ground, walked to the roots of the nearby bushes, picked some wild vegetables, mushrooms and the like, and put them in .

"Don't put everything in it, you want to poison me to death, don't you?"

Not long after, the voice of Lishan's old mother was heard, and Lu Liangsheng stopped his hands, and wiped away the dirt on his hands with a smile: "My mother is finally willing to talk to Liangsheng?"

"If you don't talk anymore, the basket will almost be filled by you."

The old mother of Lishan released the bird in her hand, and feigned anger, picked up the wooden stick at her feet and tapped the scholar's shoulder, "You, you are too fond of playing tricks, just like talking to the old man, deceiving the heavens."

Sure enough, the old lady hadn't been told about the picture that Yue Hao took to the northwest.

Seeing that it had been punctured, Lu Liangsheng spoke bluntly, carried the basket over, and squatted beside him: "Mom, I grow this land, eat the grain grown by people, and drink the clear water from the river cultivated by countless people." , I don't want the soldiers on this land to suffer too many casualties..."

"As long as you can!"

The old mother showed a rare emotion, like a loving mother teaching her son, she poked Lu Liangsheng's forehead with her finger: "Sooner or later, you will regret it if you are seen by the Dao of Heaven."

Lu Liangsheng smiled and showed his teeth, rubbing the place where the old woman poked.

"Maybe Heaven is also on my side? All creatures in the world must be protected by one side."

Li Shan's old mother looked at the scholar, sighed and shook her head, stood up on crutches, and walked forward slowly without Lu Liangsheng's help.

"The way of heaven is merciless and desireless, otherwise humans and gods would have coexisted in the same realm long ago. Good life, don't do too many things that violate the way of heaven. Cultivate your way well. You have a big event to do in the future..."

Lu Liangsheng stopped in his tracks and was stunned for a moment. He didn't worry about the so-called major events. There will always be one or two major events waiting on the road that people walk. I can't say...

As soon as this thought flashed through, the old woman in front turned around and shook her head.

"Don't ask, some things will change if you ask them."

Chapter 627 Late Autumn

Lu Liangsheng was very happy that Lishan's old mother could tell him these words, but he always felt uneasy if he didn't tell him about the weird dream, so he picked up the basket and quickly followed the old woman.

"Is there really a way to last forever in this world?"

The old woman ignored him, but turned her face slightly to look at the scholar, and walked up the stone steps covered with fallen leaves: "You, I want to turn around and ask, you make the canopy so that you stay in the kitchen every day." In fact, you are still not satisfied... The doubts in your heart are actually about to be revealed, just do it according to your heart."

"Isn't fate already arranged?"

"Even immortals can't escape, let alone mortals, every creature has something to do when it comes to the world."

"Liangsheng disagrees with this statement, and there are many people who eliminate all living beings."

"Well...those make up the numbers."

Lu Liangsheng: "..."

The scholar was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly the always serious old mother would also joke humorously, but if she really wanted to ask about the weird dream, the old mother of Lishan would not say anything, so she walked with her for a while, and said casually while watching the autumn scenery in the mountains With some homely words, Xiaodie came up from the mountain with a tea pot in her hand, and after a blessing, she looked at Lu Liangsheng.

"Master Lu, there are people waiting for you at the foot of the mountain."

"Do you know who it is?" Lu Liangsheng originally wanted to find out, but his mother was by his side, so it was inconvenient to use spells. The woman in yellow skirt named Xiaodie over there knew that the scholar was in distress, she smiled slightly, and turned her body to make way.

"It's an old man who came from the city. It looks like he's been waiting for a while. Master Lu should go quickly."

Lu Liangsheng looked at his mother, the old woman nodded with a smile, and waved her hands: "Go."

"Goodbye, good-bye!"

He bowed to Lishan's old mother, and when he straightened up, there was light smoke in front of him, and the front was empty. Lu Liangsheng calmed down, used his spells to hurry, and returned to the foot of the mountain. Yang Su, the Duke of Yue, was sitting in a tea shop sipping tea, and seeing the scholar coming down from the mountain, he paid for the tea and came out.

One old and one young walked to the official road outside the mountain.

The autumn is getting stronger, and the farmlands are being snatched away by the farmers, loaded into the shaft carts and taken away. The two people walking in the official road, the old man looked at the busyness around him, and opened his mouth first.

"Fellow Daoist Lu is really a source of good fortune. To meet such immortals as the old mother of Lishan, Su really envies you for seeking immortality and visiting mountains and rivers."

Lu Liangsheng, who was walking on the side, smiled and looked at the sighing old man: "Duke Yue is famous, and I don't know how many people envy him."

"...incomparable."

Yang Su laughed twice, waved his hands, and turned his head to look at the family who were busy in the farmland not far away.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, if you think about it, you can get these things at your fingertips, but you are a source of blessing, which is hard to come by." After a pause, the old man withdrew his gaze and continued: "By the way, fellow Daoist Lu, do you know about the Northwest War?"

The old man's sudden question was not abrupt, but running to the foot of Lishan Mountain and waiting for him to go down the mountain in person was a bit of a fuss. While walking, Lu Liangsheng nodded: "I know a thing or two, I heard Yu Wentuo said about the people there. thing."

"Looking at Fellow Daoist Lu's expression, I think His Majesty will be triumphant in the near future. His Majesty will personally conquer, expand the territory, take care..."

After saying a few good things in a row, the words changed, and they talked about other ordinary things. After entering the east gate of Chang'an, when they parted ways, the old man never mentioned the war again, shook his wide sleeves, and asked Lu Liangsheng Say goodbye.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, farewell."

Here, the scholar watched the old man flicking his sleeves as he walked towards the long street full of people, with a stunned expression on his face, but then he still guessed why the Duke of Yue was like this.

After the Northwest War ended, the emperor grew up.

The sun slanted across the long street. Looking at the thin figure who disappeared into the crowd, Lu Liangsheng pursed his lips, raised his hands and arched them, and turned to go south to Furong Pond.

It will take a long time for the emperor's teacher to return to the court. After that, Lu Liangsheng will not think about seeing the dream of the first emperor for the time being. While sending people to inquire about the fragments of the demon star outside, he will teach the orphans in the temple. The art book found some simple formations to teach, after all, you have to learn step by step from the shallow to the deep.

During this period of time, Lu Liangsheng first took advantage of the free time of Taoist teaching to teach these children to read and write. After more than half a month, they could basically recognize dozens of characters, and they could understand books with simple language.

In half a month, the news of the war in the northwest has come back, making the whole city boil, there are often literati and elegant guests in the brothels, and the streets and alleys are more lively than before. , and more than 200 children in Guanli took to the streets to gather popularity.

In the Xishi restaurant, Zhu Gangguan’s reputation is very loud, and there is an endless stream of guests who come to eat. Most of the people who name their names want the food cooked by Lao Zhu, but fortunately, if you don’t go to the restaurant here, you can still go back to Wanshou Watch and manage things in the kitchen.

Lu Liangsheng advised him several times not to go there at all, and shook his head every time the pig just listened, "Only when I get busy, my old pig won't have too many worries."

The one who made the scholar dumbfounded the most was his master, Taoist Toad.

I don’t know if it’s because Mengdan ate too much that time. Before winter, I fell asleep again and again. Sometimes I closed my eyes when I was walking, and fell straight to the ground and fell asleep. When Lu Liangsheng asked him, Taoist Toad still mentioned that there were many pairs of eyes secretly looking at him in his dream, and he was embarrassed to be looked at several times.

Of course, during this period of time, the letters from home were written by Xiaoxian, and the handwriting has improved a lot. It is brisk and delicate, and it is comfortable to read. If Xian wrote it, she told her to take care of herself outside.

The last paragraph of handwriting, which seems to be bolded, is Xiaoxian's warning to Sun Yingxian: "...Sun Daochang, if you are suave outside and attract bees and butterflies, my aunt will learn how to steer pigs and sheep from the village aunt. …”

The Taoist watched the last paragraph from the side, quickly retracted his neck, laughed dryly, moved a chair quite heavily to sit under the eaves, and fell into his thoughts.

"It's been almost a year since I came out, and I don't know the situation at home, but judging from this letter, it should be the same as before..."

Lu Liangsheng folded the letter and put it away in his sleeve, looked at Hong Lian who wanted to go back to Lujiacun, smiled and comforted, "I'll go back and have a look when I'm done working for a while."

The wind blows through the forest, and pieces of withered yellow fall down one after another.

November, the second day of the junior high school.

The army from the Western Expedition has returned to Gyeonggi, and the first team, led by today's son, entered the city at noon today. Lu Liangsheng brought Hong Lian and the others also came, standing on the restaurant facing the street, watching the Sui flag fluttering, Yang Guang Dressed in military uniform, riding on a war horse, most of the soldiers and generals behind him are credited to this expedition.

The tattered flag of Tuyuhun was held up high, so that the people on the long street could see with their own eyes that there was no chance for the barbarians of the foreign countries under the attack of the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty.

Soon, Lu Liangsheng returned to Wanshou Temple, and the emperor sent someone to invite him to a banquet in the palace.

Chapter 628 The First Emperor's Remnant

The son of heaven personally conquered Tuyuhun and deterred the countries in the Western Regions. This achievement was enough to give the emperor full confidence in front of his courtiers. Naturally, he couldn't wait to start the banquet first.

Xiyun was glowing red, and in the dim yellow room, Lu Liangsheng came out from behind the screen, put on the unicorn cloak, and faced the bronze mirror with red pity, he straightened his clothes. The scholar smiled and turned his head to look Taoist Toad, who was still paralyzed on the small shop.

"Master, come with me to the palace, this feast will surely satisfy you."

On the edge of the bed, Taoist Toad rubbed his eyes and sat up, nodded his head in a daze, yawned, went to the small closet at the end of the bed, found a black robe with wide sleeves, tied it with a belt, kicked his flippers, and jumped Go to the hands of the apprentice.

"Let's go, let's go, I've had enough sleep as a teacher, I just happened to go for a stroll outside."

Hong Lian had no way to get close to the officials in the palace, so she could only lean on the window lattice with her chin propped up, watching the young master who walked out of the eaves turn around and waved to her, muttering in a low voice.

"What's it like inside the palace..."

Naturally, Lu Liangsheng couldn't hear the woman's muttering. When he left the mountain gate, there was a carriage waiting for him. When he got inside, the shaft of the carriage turned slowly, and the body of the carriage swayed slightly to go to the long street.

"Let's go! The shopkeeper in front, please set up your bamboo basket!"

The soldier driving the carriage shouted to the front, the long street was noisy, he shouted for a long time, the shopkeeper walking in front of the carriage finally realized it, and went to the side of the street with a load of goods.

Inside the stroking car curtain, I watched the noisy and bustling scholars put down the curtain and lowered the master in the sleeves, and watched Taoist Toad drooping his eyelids, looking drowsy, and frowning slightly.

"Master is still taking that Dream Pill recently?"
