bright sheath

The two water ghosts didn't dare to go to the main hall of the main hall like this, making seven bends and eight turns, bypassing ponds, artificial hills, and jade arched bridges. The colorful spring in the whole house was finally over. Chen Yunyu took him to a side room, which was clean and tidy. Tables and chairs are all available, but there are no traces of human habitation, only a few portraits hanging on the wall, the paper is yellowed, and it looks a little old.

Ling Yanchi looked around before saying: "Where is this?"

"My mother's studio before she was alive, but when I was a child, I splashed ink all over the studio." He shook the spring shirt stuck to his body with his hands.

"Then am I disturbing her here?"

Chen Yunyu looked at him, "Aren't you fearless?"

"Don't dare, don't dare." After he finished speaking, he turned around and kept saying "How offending, Princess Haihan". As he spoke, he searched everywhere for traces of Chen Yunyu's childhood, and it turned out to be that fine golden nanmu There was a thumb-width corner missing in the middle of the desk.

"Did you do this?" Ling Yanchi asked him while touching the scar on the poor desk.

"This... Chen Nian did it, he bit it when he was young!"

"...Did you treat him badly when you were young?"

Suddenly the mahogany carvings were pushed away, the rain suddenly became louder, and the humidity invaded. Chen Nian was shaking the umbrella with the two of them on his back, and brought the water marks into the room, muttering: "I knew you were here, come here. Come on, the clothes have arrived, and I figured Mr. Ling's figure is similar to Shizi, so I directly took two clothes from your closet, Shizi."

Ling Yanchi couldn't help but think of Chen Nian biting the table when he was a child, covering his mouth and laughing.

The two of them changed their clothes across the screen fan, and wiped their hair half dry with a dry cloth towel. They were both dressed in moon white, one was bright and the other was gentle. Chen Nian stared into his eyes and straightened the hair for the two. With slightly messy hair and a jade crown, she said with a look of admiration: "My lord, do you think the princess will say that you are a pair of twins after seeing it?"

"Speak less, be careful that my father will punish you."

Chen Nian stuck out his tongue, and the three of them ran towards the front hall non-stop, until they barely stopped at the door, Ling Yanchi watched Chen Yunyu and Chen Nian caressing their chests at the same time, then Chen Yunyu put his hands on his chest, Chen Nian stepped sideways and lowered his head, stood by the door, and secretly grinned at him, beckoning to the two of them, "Your Majesty, Mr. Ling, please come inside."

His voice was obviously much louder than usual, and he was announcing the people inside.Soon after, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid came out and led the three of them to the main hall. Chen Yunyu was scolded as soon as she entered.

"What's the matter? You spend so much time eating, don't you think that's what you do when you march and fight?" On the round table filled with fine wine and delicacies sat a red-faced, majestic middle-aged man, facing Chen Yunyu. glare.

Ling Yanchi followed behind Chen Yunyu without making a sound, only looked at him calmly, King Liao's hair was half white, tied with a golden crown, he was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe, his body was slightly plump, and his face was more contoured than Chen Yunyu's. Even tougher, it can be seen that Shizi's nose and mouth follow him, presumably those eyes should follow Wangfei.It was this anger that the two mustaches under his nose were blown away by him, which was a little cute.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yunyu ignored his father at all, just took Ling Yanchi forward, and said bluntly: "Father, this is Ling Yanchi, a friend my son met when he was traveling, and he has helped him a lot."

Ling Yanchi smiled and cupped his hands at the right time and said, "Grassman Lingyan, see the prince."

"You are Ling Yanchi?"

Hearing this tone, the prince had heard him before, he put his hands down and raised his head slightly surprised.

The old prince twirled his beard and said, "I have heard Chen Nian talk about you a few times, so I have some impressions."

Chen Yunyu didn't know what was going on, but suddenly coughed a few times and interrupted: "My son is hungry, can we sit down and eat?"

The old prince squinted at him: "Aren't you in a hurry? You didn't come after waiting, why are you yelling at me here now?"

"My Liao Prince's family has a great business, so we can't neglect the guests." After speaking, he signaled to the attendants behind him, and soon two people came over and pulled the nanmu chair away.

The old prince snorted through his nose and cursed: "You are an unfilial son who doesn't distinguish between superior and inferior." He shifted his gaze to Ling Yanchi's face and said, "Since you are my son's good friend, then I will call you directly. It's late for the geese, it's new to the palace, if there are places you are not familiar with, just let him take you around more, once you are familiar with it, it will be fine, and it will save him from coddling in the room all day and making me look at it as an eyesore."

Ling Yanchi suppressed a smile and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your concern."

Chen Yunyu waited for him to stop talking before saying calmly: "Father, in all honesty, what else did I do besides telling you to drink less?"

"Isn't that enough?"

"My son is thinking about his father's health, so he feels that there is nothing wrong with it." Chen Yunyu drank calmly.

The old prince "hummed" and looked like Ling Yanchi again, causing Ling Yanchi to put down the bamboo hairpin he had just picked up, and sat down obediently, then he heard the prince say: "I see you come to my palace and you don't feel cramped. , I think he is not an ordinary idiot, I hope to watch him more in the future, at least it can make him not so bored." He raised his glass to Ling Yanchi.

Ling Yanchi toasted generously in return: "Friends are supposed to take care of each other a little bit. Your lord's words are polite. It should be a great honor for me to have Yun Yugui as your son again."

Chen Yunyu was a little awkward, and suddenly changed her name to this person.

The old prince drank the wine glass and then put his hand on the table. He looked like a warrior. He shook his head and said, "I would rather we are just ordinary people's family, so that he won't have no friends since he was a child. ...Look at the princes of the aristocratic families around you, they are very considerate in front of others, and it doesn't matter if you don't mention it in the queen...Obviously they were fine when they were young, but now they are grown up and sensible, but they are afraid of having anything to do with the Liao Palace."

Chen Yunyu became even more troubled, frowned and said: "Father, why are you talking about these things carefully, can a glass of wine put you down?"

"I can't even talk about it? Who is it that has a sullen face all day long? I'll see if you get well when this goose comes late. I think my daughter-in-law should have one soon..."

"Father, if you keep talking nonsense, I will ban you from drinking. Anyway, Ling Yanchi can't drink too much." For some reason, Chen Yunyu turned to look at Ling Yanchi next to him, and Ling Yanchi was looking down at the wine glass with a flat expression.

"Nonsense! You still want to ban me from drinking in this kind of day? Your mother will definitely agree to it here! Anyway, it's the first time I brought a friend back, really! You don't have any other skills, but your ability to judge people is quite accurate... ...Come on, Yan Chi, let's drink, no one has been drinking with the old man for a long time, I'm sick of this brat taking care of me every day."

The little boy Chen Yunyu's face turned green with anger, and he grabbed Ling Yanchi's wine glass and said, "Father, he was born with asthma, don't drag him to drink!"

The old prince was obviously stunned. In the blink of an eye, Ling Yanchi didn't expect that he would really dare to touch his father's favor, so he quickly took his hand away, stood up and toasted: "Ms. Ling has very few friends in this life, and it's already enough to be able to make friends with your son." It’s my honor to offer a cup to the prince here, without the prince and concubine to set an example and teach me personally, I wouldn’t be able to know a prince with excellent conduct..."

His boasting went to the heart of the prince, mainly because he hit the point and brought the late princess with him.Now Chen Yunyu's words about prohibiting alcohol were thrown out of the blue by him, and he immediately put the emerald jade wine glass on the table heavily, and said proudly: "Okay! I'm sorry for you! Finish this glass of wine!"

Ling Yanchi raised his hand: "My lord, please!"

The cups of the two bottomed out instantly.

Chen Yunyu supported his forehead, and had no choice but to signal to the servant behind him to put more vegetables in his father's bowl.

After eating this meal for a full hour, the old prince seemed to have met a confidant, he pulled Ling Yan to recall the past, and even taught him how to march.

"Let me ask you, if you are asked to lead troops, how many troops can you bring at most?"

Ling Yanchi stroked his chin and thought for a while, then said, "Not much, fifty thousand."

"[-] is a lot, let me ask you again, if there are [-] soldiers here, and you are asked to attack a city that is impenetrable, what are your plans?"

"How is the opponent's strength?"

"You are evenly matched."

"If I attack the city, I will definitely outsmart it. I will lie down day and night, and a small army will test it. I will beat drums and gongs under the city gate to disturb the enemy's mind, and then set up an ambush secretly to lure them."

"How to set up an ambush?"

"Accumulating over time, pretending to be small merchants and peddlers, wandering outside the city, buying food from merchants, and letting them ambush around while solving the ration problem."

"Why don't you lead the army directly to the city and catch him by surprise?"

"I will not take my soldiers to take risks without certainty of victory. Furthermore, it may be related to my dislike of the smell of blood. It will make me feel better if I overwhelm the enemy mentally and then fight with fewer casualties."

The old prince stroked his beard and nodded, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of his statement on the battlefield, and finally he said: "You are not a general strategy on the march, but you are taking advantage of people's weaknesses Acting in a somewhat treacherous manner, without the recklessness of a warrior, it is superior." Finally, the old prince turned the cannon fire on his son and said, "What about you, tell me how many soldiers you can lead, what's your opinion? "

Chen Yunyu sighed, and said, "Father, why don't you go on and on, and I don't take the martial arts exam, why do you force me to do it every day?"

"Tsk tsk tsk... What about your future? Looking back, Prince Liao is an idiot who doesn't know anything..."

"All right, all right! I said, actually, I don't know how many soldiers I can bring. Just now he was talking about the attacking side, so I said defending. If I really encounter someone playing drums under the tower in the middle of the night, I will fight on the top of the tower." Light up the torches, let the guards cheer up, set up archers on the tower, come one to kill one, come two to kill one pair."

The prince frowned and said: "He only sent a small team, and he disturbed all the soldiers so they couldn't sleep peacefully. If things go on like this, the spirits of the soldiers are worrying and suffering unspeakably. What do you do?"

"Be the first to strike first, raid in the middle of the night!"

Ling Yanchi disapproved and said: "No, how do you know that he didn't deliberately lure you to go out in the middle of the night and set up an ambush on the road?"

The prince nodded, "Yan Chi is right. Things change on the battlefield, so we must guard against it."

Chen Yunyu touched his chin, showing a thoughtful expression, could it be that a broken copper and iron that made a sound in the middle of the night stopped him?

Ling Yanchi reminded him: "What place is good at beating gongs and drums?"

"The theater?"

He smiled and said, "That's right. Let's invite a few good Tsing Yi Huadan Wusheng students to set up a play on the city wall. He will beat the gong, and you will sing the play, turning waste into elegance, and all the soldiers will fall asleep listening to the sound of the play." , it’s not impossible.”

"Wonderful! Haha!" The old prince patted him on the shoulder, laughed loudly, and said very happily, "When you said that the gongs and drums were played, I just felt a little unreasonable, but when you said that you set up a stage, I just felt that There is no better way to deal with it than this. Don’t leave the troublemakers, and after listening to this play, our morale will be greatly increased, and it’s not a bad idea to fight ten against one!" After speaking, he patted his knee and laughed again. After a long time, the laughter gradually faded and could hardly be heard. He said, "If only Yanchi had been there at that time, General Zhou might not have been captured, and Vice-General Sun would not have died. In this way, the old general would not have died in the end." will die..."

Ling Yanchi's heart could barely beat anymore, a feeling of suffocation hit his heart, as if countless hands were strangling his heart, pulling it, moving in all directions, the blood in his heart was surging, his heartbeat accelerated, he felt faint The pain but only feel happy.

Does it hurt?Pain is right...

The sound on the wine table gradually fell silent, the prince was deep in thought, Chen Yunyu bowed his head, Ling Yanchi heard his heartbeat slow down, his blood cooled down, and his heart suddenly calmed down, but no one knew about the turbulent waves.

He was a little confused.
