Born short-lived

After a battle, both Silan and Heiqi were seriously injured, and several cities were destroyed along the way, and the refugees were all over the place.

Hua Xu's sea fleet stopped at the port of Silan for a short rest, and also helped clean up the mess of Silan along the way.

As soon as Dong Sheng finished the battle, he threw away the doctor's order left by Jiang Huaikong, and went to the Silan Restaurant alone to get drunk, and crushed the cup in Zhou Zirong's hand on the spot. , Regardless of military affairs, he took a horse and went to arrest people all over the city.

Strictly speaking, that restaurant is actually a flower restaurant, the one that Aldan took him to last time.So when Zhou Zirong asked around to come here, his face turned green with anger.

He came early rather than coincidentally, just in time to see Dong Sheng staggering out of the flower building, followed by a timid little girl.

The little girl seemed to want to go up to help, but she seemed to be worried about something, so she could only follow behind cautiously, sweating profusely from anxiety.

Dong Sheng's face was blushing, and his eyes were bewildered. He vaguely saw someone in front of him, and he tried to focus on it. It took a long time for his distiller's brain to recognize who this person was, so With his tongue out, he asked vaguely, "Zhou...Zhi Rong?"

Zhou Zirong didn't even get angry when he saw his drunken appearance. Just when he was about to get angry, the man just fell forward and fell limply into his arms.

Zhou Zirong's pent-up anger was instantly leaked.

There was no way to beat him, and he couldn't scold him, so Zhou Zirong resigned himself to his fate, picked up the ancestor, and got on his horse.

The little Silan girl saw that the two were about to leave, and she didn't understand Hua Xujinwen, so she hurriedly chased after them with an "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

Zhou Zirong saw her attire, and her posture of being desperate to stick to her, and there was something she didn't understand.

Zhou Zirong's face became even uglier.

When Dong Sheng was in the East China Sea, he would go to redeem the girl in the flower house from time to time on a whim. He was beaten and scolded countless times by Zeng Fenglei back then, but he never changed his mind.It was not until I grew up a little later that I realized not to meddle in other people's business casually.

I don't know what happened today, the old problem happened again.

Looking at the little girl's appearance, Zhou Zirong was probably only a little over ten years old. Although he was angry and could not take care of her, but it was really wrong to leave the little girl here like this.

The little girl was dressed very revealingly in the winter, with her entire shoulders and waist exposed, and only a layer of tulle wrapped around her body. She was shaking like chaff after just staying outside for a while.

Zhou Zirong was afraid that she would freeze to death. Although the boss was reluctant, he managed to make his face look a little more friendly. He stretched out his hand to the girl and signaled her to get on the horse.

Seeing that the nobleman in front of her was finally willing to take her with her, the girl was overjoyed to give her a hand.Although there is a huge difference in status, in the past, there were often children from rich families who took Hualou girls to ride together, so she didn't feel very panicked.

Zhou Zirong pulled her up and let her sit behind him.

Zhou Zirong held the unconscious drunk around the waist with one hand, and held the rein with the other, and rushed towards the palace without stopping.The little girl sitting behind him had no choice but to find a place to hold on to, for fear that one of her hands would slip and fall.

The girl felt a little strange. Usually, after these high-ranking officials ransomed the girl from the flower house, they hugged her in their arms fondly at least at the beginning. However, the guest just came to find her as soon as he entered the restaurant, but he didn't do anything. I couldn't find the southeast, northwest, and then I waved my hand to redeem the girl.

The girl followed him all the way out, and he refused to help him even if she wanted to help him, almost without touching her.

Sitting on the horse now, the girl looked at the two people in front of her, and suddenly felt that she was a bit redundant, so she hurriedly grabbed the saddle more tightly, for fear of being knocked down.

Zhou Zirong took Dong Sheng back to the foreign mission hall around the path, and asked his servants to cook him hangover soup.

When the girl entered the diplomatic hall, seeing that no one paid attention to her, she gradually realized that she knelt down at the door obediently, waiting for the nobles to speak.

Dong Sheng slept dizzily for a long time before finally waking up from the alcohol. When he woke up, he saw Zhou Zirong sitting on his bedside, laughing so hard that he almost froze.

Dong Sheng hadn't remembered what kind of bastard he had done, but when he saw this smile, he shuddered and swallowed, thinking that he probably provoked him.

Dong Sheng and Zhou Zirong grew up together. Although Zhou Zirong is five years younger than Zhou Zirong, he can clearly understand what kind of pee this person is - Zhou Zirong is usually like this when he is angry.

"Are you awake?" Zhou Zirong asked with a smile.

Dong Sheng shivered, and when he thought about it, he suddenly felt a splitting headache; "Hiss, how long have I been asleep?"

Zhou Zirong smiled coldly and said, "It's not long, just half a day."

Dong Sheng was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was in the wrong, he was too embarrassed to continue this topic, and instead asked: "How is Da Ling?"

Zhou Zirong knew what he was referring to. During the naval battle before, they surrounded and killed the first batch of Daling sea fleet. They wanted to surround the corpses and bring reinforcements together, but the reinforcements of Daling people had no shadows. None, which is really weird.

Zhou Zirong: "The imperial court has made arrangements, but it is still unclear."

"Speaking of..." Zhou Zirong turned sideways, raised his chin in the direction of the girl, "What are you going to do with her?"

Dong Sheng looked along, and was stunned for a moment when he saw the girl. Seeing that the girl looked expectantly and looked at him cautiously, he suddenly felt his head hurt even more.

How can I be so messed up...

Dong Sheng's fragmented memory began to be connected slowly. Although it was incomplete, he still vaguely remembered that he redeemed the girl after he was drunk.

Originally, it was planned to have a few drinks with Aldan here, but Aldan's injury was not healed, and Dong Sheng was afraid that drinking him would cause some bad things, so he didn't make the trip.But he suddenly became addicted to alcohol for some reason, and wanted to see the little prostitute he met when he came last time, so he came to have a good drink alone.

To be honest, he has no interest in this kind of little girl whose breasts haven't grown out at all. He thinks that anyone who would look for such a young prostitute is a fucking pervert who is worse than a beast. The last time he saw this girl, he felt that this girl was a bit It's miserable, today, while drinking and watching her timidly kneeling opposite, I feel more and more emotional.

In fact, he didn't know what he was thinking, and redeemed the girl with the help of alcohol.

But in fact, the redemption of the firework girl is very troublesome.If he is really irresponsible, remembering that he is a big-tailed wolf, he can give her a sum of money at will, and let her "let the birds fly" to fend for herself.

What is freedom, what is good.

Some time ago, the war was raging, and almost all the restaurants on that street were closed. This restaurant was supported by the royal family and nobles, but in fact, there was a place to go back, and those with relatives also ran away with their families. After all, who would burn Even if she has her ass, she still has to go whoring#贵, this girl is probably a helpless orphan until now.

This kind of girl grew up in the Lane of Fireworks and Willows since she was a child. She can't do anything except please men. When she goes out, if she spends all her money, she either returns to her old job or waits to die.

Dong Sheng felt that his head was a little big, so he raised his hand to summon the translator who had been following him, and asked him to ask the little girl, "If you let you go, do you have a place to go?"

The girl had hoped with all her heart that if a woman from Fireworks was redeemed, she would become a concubine with the benefactor, eat delicious food, wear gold and silver, and would not have to serve a lot of unknown men every day, but He didn't even touch her, and he was about to drive her away. The little girl's face turned pale with fright, and she kowtowed and begged in Sri Lankan.

The interpreter listened to her incoherent cries, which made my brain ache. It was not easy to wait for her to finish speaking, so the translation was roughly simplified, and some repeated and life-threatening words were removed, and said to Dongsheng: "She It is said that she was sold there since she was a child and has no relatives..."

Originally, there was another sentence, "If you drive her away, she won't be able to survive."——But the translator was a little afraid to say it. This is Prince Hua Xu, and the little girl is blind if she doesn't know. Booing——Isn't this statement so obvious?

The girl still doesn't know which god redeemed herself, but seeing the bead embedded between his eyebrows, she thought it was some kind of playboy who likes to hunt for novelties.

After listening to the last sentence, Dong Sheng knew what the next sentence would be. Although he felt troublesome from the bottom of his heart, it would be too wicked to throw someone away casually, so he had to let her stay and wait for him to figure out how to deal with it before making plans. .

Zhou Zirong has always kept his promise. He said before that he wanted to make up for Dong Sheng, so he really stared at the kitchen every day and cooked all kinds of delicious food for him.Aldan expressed his embarrassment. Originally, he had already ordered Dongsheng to eat the best food and eat whatever he ordered, but Zhou Zirong still thought that the food in Silan's kitchen was not good or bad all the time, saying that Silan's food was not good. The dishes were not to his liking, so he simply dragged the cook he brought into the palace.

So Dong Sheng spent a few days of fattening in the Silan Palace down-to-earth, and ate back the meat that had been reduced in the past few days.

Dong Sheng's appetite has increased several times at some point, and the cook's face turned pale with fright.That's not counting. After eating, I went to practice swords. After practicing swords, I was hungry again.I finally knew why the empress wanted to kick him out since he was a child. Maybe the empress was very prescient, fearing that he would eat the palace poorly, so she let him eat all over the world.

In fact, Zhou Zirong was still concentrating on military affairs at first, but for some reason, ever since that little Silan girl who fell from the sky appeared in the foreign envoy hall, he ran to Dongsheng every now and then, and more than half of the twelve hours a day were sticky. Beside him, he can chatter more than before, and he can't wait to go through his basic necessities of life diligently.

Dong Sheng thought he was afraid that the little girl's unknown origin would be dangerous, so he laughed at him unconscionably. He was so wicked that smoked meat could be made on the ancestral grave.

Given that Dong Sheng was always black-hearted, Zhou Zirong didn't bother with him, but he accepted it happily, never repented, and stuck to him even more.

Dongsheng's face as thick as the Great Wall was a bit unbearable, and he couldn't help pleading: "My general, isn't there someone here? How can you be so busy?"

Zhou Zirong said with a smile: "The minister is happy, does His Highness despise the minister?"

Dong Sheng had a headache.

The dignified head coach Huaxu Donghai treated the prince as an old lady, and he didn't feel that there was any loss of value, and he still loved it.

Aldan didn't feel much easier after the war, he was still in good shape, and there were still a lot of messes waiting for him to deal with in the country, and it was his younger brother who made him even more troubled.

Ajiaxi was pulled out from the pile of dead by Dong Sheng, but he kept silent and ignored anyone who came to him.The civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty cried out to ask Aldan to kill Ajiaxi, and Ajiaxi was convicted of treason, and he really deserved death.

But Aldan never made a decision.

The ministers seemed to be urging them to die, and finally one day Aldan couldn't bear it anymore and asked them: "My brother, do you want to decide whether to kill or not?"

The implication is, do you still want to do the opposite?

Since ancient times, emperors have always preferred softness to toughness. The tighter you push, the more he thinks you are pushing the palace.

So after shouting a few times, everyone saw that Aldan should not be angry, and they dared not continue shouting—forcing the king to kill his own brother, it’s fine if the king is willing, but if he is not willing, it’s okay if someone else mentions it court death.

It's just that Aldan didn't completely let the past go, he still put Ajiaxi in prison, waiting to be punished.

The fact that the Daling people did not move their troops gradually surfaced, because several countries in the north had already made troubles. At first, these people babbled and muddied the water - they all knew that something was wrong, but Don't know what went wrong.

The people Zhou Zirong sent out to investigate began to have some clues, and when Zhou Zirong found out that the Xuantian Pavilion's mysterious angels who came to Silan with him had left without a word, his heart was like a bright mirror.

No wonder the queen was so confident back then.

The country of Daling has been the sovereign of the world for so long, in addition to its strength, there are also some dogs who can't get rid of the problem of eating shit.For example, let's talk about their crazy desire to control, and let's talk about their insane good face.

If they only have one of these two problems, then the Huaxu people really can't do anything about him, but he has both—that's easy.

When King Daling established the Tianji Pavilion, the original purpose was to supervise the important members of the parliament and the group of old and disrespectful old things in the Senate, but later when Da Ling's position as the suzerain of the world was gradually established, the Tianji Pavilion slowly Hands out abroad.

From the Western Ocean to Huaxu, Nanyang to the Southern Continent, almost all the government centers of various countries have their secret work and hidden stakes.

When it came to Wendell's generation, it became even more proficient to the point of insanity.

And it was at this most critical moment that the tight string broke.

Without knowing the reason at all, a hidden stake of Tianji Pavilion in Xiyang suddenly turned against the water.That boy betrayed himself, and even bought dozens of his compatriots—the Western countries discovered in a cold sweat that the old thing in the Daling Palace had sent someone to listen to them for decades. The root of the wall.

So the Western countries, who had swallowed their anger for several generations, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and a group of old men ran to Daling Jindu with beards and stares and made a huge disturbance.

Originally, Da Ling was just about to send the second batch of sea fleet to support at this time, but somehow it was so weird that this news "just happened" to leak when the Western countries came to make trouble.

So Westerners are even more reluctant.

In fact, everyone knows why Daling wanted to fight Silan, but the Westerners have been watching from the sidelines before, and they have nothing to do with themselves.But right now they only think that the only person who can restrain the Daling a little bit now is Hua Xu. If the Daling really takes over Silan and controls Huaxu's southern border, wouldn't the Daling be even more powerful in the future? Be arrogant.

The Western countries felt that Daling, a young man, should not be allowed to push his nose on his face like this.

So more than a dozen of them cobblers, I don't know how many Zhuge Liang, tried their best to make a fuss in Jindu, and forced the second batch of support ships to stop at Dongda Port.

When Zhou Zirong told Dong Sheng about these things, Dong Sheng couldn't help being surprised, and then asked him vaguely: "Is there something about the court?"

In fact, Zhou Zirong didn't mention the Queen's matter to him, but he didn't expect the kid to guess it as soon as he heard it.

But Zhou Zirong only smiled.

Xuantian Pavilion has been out of the pass for ten years, and it has been shaken for ten years.Whenever Xuantian is transferred, there will always be some earth-shattering events.As for the details, how these people got inside the Westerners to instigate the Tianji Pavilion is unknown.

I only know that in the past, Westerners were small countries with few people, and few grains of grain could be grown. The eyes of industry and commerce were high, and the supply exceeded demand.Ten years ago, Hua Xu built a business route leading to the West and saved them. The Empress also took the opportunity to buy many factories that were about to go bankrupt.

When the Huaxu people contributed money, they naturally needed someone to take care of things. Most of these people in charge were people from the imperial court.

These people slowly took root in the West, becoming more and more powerful, rich in financial resources, and gradually gained their own place in the parliament, and then gradually became political officials...

But in the final analysis, these are not important for the time being, the important thing is that Da Lingren honestly suffered a dumb loss, and this experience is over.

Aldan appeased the rest of the Black Banner people, confiscated the military power and strictly managed it, and established a government office jointly ruled by the Muslims and the Black Banner people there, encouraging exchanges between the two parties.

It didn't go well at first, and the Islamic garrison only increased.

After several days of raising Dong Sheng, he remembered the black flag holy sword that he had stolen in his previous life, so he asked someone to bring it over on a whim.

He opened the box and found that it contained a long sword made of clay.

what is this?Do you want to say that they can't bear to be beaten, and they will be broken when they are hit?

Dong Sheng flipped it around twice inadvertently, and suddenly saw a crack in the back of the sword, from which the bronze blade was faintly exposed.

Dong Sheng's heart tightened.

So, Dong Sheng sneakily smashed the "holy sword" into pieces, and found that what was wrapped inside was a long bronze sword that had been broken into several pieces.

There is an empty inlay groove on the hilt of the long sword. It seems that something inlaid has fallen off, and two words are engraved under it: Huozheng.

Dong Sheng was stunned on the spot.

Dong Sheng didn't tell Zhou Zirong about Huo Zhengjian, and he and Zhou Zirong stayed in Silan for more than a month, and they didn't plan to go back to Donghai together until the beginning of spring.

But at this moment, the imperial court issued an urgent order, asking them to return to Beijing immediately.
