Confucian General [Ancient and Modern]

The scenery on the side of the road passed by quickly, and the sound of horseshoes gradually stopped. Ao Bie heard the sound of Su Shang turning over and dismounting from the horse in the carriage. He got into the car with his body.

Ao Bie stretched out his hands for him to hug, the thin blanket slid off some of his shoulders along with his movements and fell on the shaft of the car, Su Shang looked at it and pulled it up for him, then picked up one side of the clothes, Holding the little Aobie, he walked to the side.

Ao Bie looked left and right. This is a wild scene. They had been riding fast horses for quite a long time when they came out of the mansion, and it took about half an hour to arrive, and Su Shang led him to turn left and right. He entered a small path on the side, and then led him into it without knowing where he had entered.

It's like a different world here, the temperature seems to be a little cold all of a sudden, but after walking for a while, it seems to be warmed up suddenly, and there is some heat all around.

"Where is this place?" Ao Bie grabbed Su Shang's lapel with his small hands and looked around, and sure enough, he saw a steaming pool not far away.

He has never been so eager to take a bath before, because the cold water is very cold, and he can't lift the hot water. Someone put medicine in the water before, and the hot water evaporates forever very quickly, which is impossible to guard against. Therefore, he almost fell asleep that time. dying.

"This is a hot spring, and no one usually comes here." Su Shang looked around, then smiled, "I don't know which family mined it for bathing, but it seems that no one is guarding it these days. We picked up a bargain."

Ao Bie didn't wear any clothes on his body, he just stood naked on the stone, looking at himself and Su Shang compared with each other, one was white like a chick, the other was like a gentle scholar... the difference It's really big.

So Aobie pursed his mouth, put his hands on his hips, and watched Su Shang take off his clothes in front of him without seeing anything, until Su Shang got into the water first to test the water temperature, then he turned his nose to the sky and said, "You just put me in the water like this." If you bring it out, aren't you afraid that your father will punish you?"

Su Shang smiled immediately, seeing that the child obviously wanted to be coaxed, he found a stone and stood up to stabilize his body, then carried him down with his arms, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid, then you will Are you going to sue me?"

Little Ao Bie's cheeks were slightly red, and he glanced at it furtively, and then said with a magnanimous look: "Don't worry, I won't tell others."

"Then do I want to thank you?"

"Well, yes." Ao Bie frowned, grinned, "You have to thank me well."

"Then how do you want me to thank you?" Su Shang took off his hair crown, and Ao Bie's soft hair immediately scattered all over his body. When he moved, there was a trace of coolness, and then he was soaked in water. It's a little warm, and the feeling of sticking to the body is really comfortable.

Aobie actually didn’t know either.

He just subconsciously said such a paragraph, and it didn't have any purpose. He just thought that as long as Su Shang kept following him like this, it would be fine.

Do not contradict him in anything, obey him in everything.

That's it.

He didn't realize at all that something was wrong.

So Ao Bie thought about it carefully, and said, "I don't know, but you will always be so kind to me in the future."

otherwise……

Otherwise, he doesn't know.

Aobie lay on his back on the boulder, resting his head on Su Shang's lap, letting him massage his head, looking at his focused eyes, thinking in his heart.

In fact, Su Shang shouldn't treat him badly like those people. Even if he really betrayed himself and didn't want him anymore, he might be reluctant to kill Su Shang when the time comes.

If Su Shang just disappeared like this, he would be very sad.

As time passed, Aobie was going to find a master too.

This morning Su Shang was more nervous than anyone else, he hurriedly prepared all Aobie's things, and then got into the carriage with him, prepared his luggage, and watched the group of people who followed behind him set off on the road.

"Your master is Mr. Xu, the most famous cabinet member in the court. He has been clean and honest all his life, and it is difficult to accept apprentices. If he fails to pay homage to his master, it will be difficult for anyone to rival him in the current court." Su Shang was worried. Ao Bie is getting older, and the teachers in the mansion are no longer able to teach him anything, but how many people in the world can teach Ao now.

Not to mention, according to Ao Feng's current thinking, if he wants to be king, Ao Bie must be the crown prince.

He must be a prince, and he can only be a prince.

Ao Bie wasn't worried at all, leaning on the limp and squinting his eyes half-closed, he was drowsy, tapping lightly on his knee with one hand, and said, "Even if he doesn't accept me, so what? will affect."

Su Shang was warming him tea, he turned his face unexpectedly and saw Ao Bie's old-fashioned appearance like a little old man, he couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, his worry was much less, "Sit down Some, don't let people see the joke."

Aobie snorted softly, reached out to take the dried fruit and ate two mouthfuls, "You're getting bolder now, and you don't even respect me anymore."

"Oh, you still remember that you are a little master." Su Shang smiled sullenly, reached out and touched his head, and after laughing, he became worried again, "I'm just worried, I will go to serve in the army in a few days, if you can't Becoming under the old door of the pavilion and becoming his old man's disciple... What are you going to do when I'm not around?"

Ao Bie's chewing motions froze for a moment, and he took a long time to see the shadow under the dappled sunlight that occasionally entered the car through the car curtain, "...you don't have to worry about this matter."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and took a sip of his tea.

Su Shang was sitting on the shaft of the car and taking a nap when the sound of the clothes flapping and mopping the floor sounded.

All the guards who came with him were waiting outside the forest, and they were not allowed to enter. At this moment, he was the only one in the bamboo forest. He was quite bold, so he just leaned against it and fell asleep.

When he heard the sound, Su Shang came to his senses, but his steps were familiar, and he was not in a hurry. He didn't open his eyes in a hurry, but smiled before saying anything, and said, "What's the matter?"

Ao Bie stopped in front of him. The exquisitely embellished uppers were hidden by the long clothes, and it was inadvertently obvious. There was no smile on his delicate and beautiful face, and it was tightly stretched. .

Su Shang's heart tightened immediately, and then he smiled again looking at Ao Bie's face, and said, "It's okay, the old man's family rules are very strict, you are still young this year, so he won't accept you, we can always find a suitable teacher."

"He accepted me." Ao Bie stretched out his hand and patted Su Shang's hand to one side, then turned around and pointed to the other side with a desolate, visible eloquence, and several teams who left separately said: "Those are the losers." people."

Su Shang blinked, "..."

Ao Bie then turned his head and smiled brightly at Su Shang, "None of them are as good as me."

Su Shang smiled brightly at this time, and the smile was full of ruddy warmth under the setting sun, "Yes, you are the best."

As he said, he passed through Ao Bie's armpit to pick him up and take him up to pack his things, so that he could move in directly, but was interrupted by Ao Bie's kick, so Su Shang kicked him again He put it on the shaft of the car and said, "What's the matter?"

Ao Bie pouted in displeasure, and held Su Shang's thumb... After thinking for a while, he held Su Shang's three fingers with his own hand, and led him into the room.

When the leaves of the bamboo forest are blown by the wind, they will make a rustling sound. There is always a special meaning in the reverberation in this forest. In front of the door, there are two boys with hair buns sweeping the fallen leaves in the corridor. Shi immediately bowed and took a step back to show the difference between superiority and inferiority.

Ao Bie stretched out his hand and pushed open the sliding door. There was a burst of aloes inside the door, and the fragrance that emanated made the heartbeat that was still a little restless for a moment suddenly calm down.

Behind the bead curtain, an old man sat alone on one side of a set of utensils, looking at the chess-like situation, cross-legged and thinking about something, with a solemn expression.

"Teacher." Ao Bie stopped two steps before the bead curtain, and said under Su Shang's surprised eyes: "This is A Shang."

Only then did the old man turn his head slightly. It wasn't until this time that Su Shang realized that the old man in front of him was really old.

He is in the court by name, but he doesn't go to the court easily for nothing important, and he has served as the elder of the three dynasties. Even now, the fatuous emperor's respect for this gentleman is worthy of recognition.

His face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes could not be concealed. His eyes were bent, as if he would often smile when he was young. After seeing Su Shang, he also narrowed his eyes slightly, and stretched out his hand to beckon , let him in.

"Boy said, you are the only one in the world who can break this chess game. I don't believe it. I have been studying here for three whole days but I haven't been able to understand any mystery." Ge Lao shook his head with a smile, and then stroked his eyes with both hands, as if a little Uncomfortable, "Please ask Mr. Xiao to break this Zhenlong for the old man."

How could Su Shang deserve such a big gift from him? After returning the gift, he said, "Ge Lao respects you."

The chess game is actually not difficult. This is a game that Ao Bie suddenly asked him to memorize a few days ago. He explained all the chess moves one by one, which is almost what Su Shang can think of or can't think of, even in his opinion. The impossibly feasible paths were disassembled one by one by him and then reassembled, so he came up with such a broken chess piece.

The difficulty of the chess game is indeed difficult to find a second person to break it, but Ao don't do it... What's the intention?

Su Shang's expression remained unchanged, and he followed the old man's chess moves little by little. After half a cup of tea, the incense on the table gradually extinguished and there was no smoke, the old man finally sighed and dropped the flag in his hand with a smile, "It's here Well, the old man has already lost."

Su Shang got up and watched the old man being lifted up by the boy who came in and walked out, his staggering steps looked extraordinarily thin against the backlight.

"Sir, what do you mean?" Su Shang was a little confused, and glanced at Ao Bie.

Ao Bie smiled slightly, his eyes flickered, and then let Su Shang look at the chess game, stood a few steps away and said, "Ah Shang, you stand next to me and look, what is the word for this chess move."

"Too... flat?" Su Shang was taken aback, and subconsciously read out these two words spelled out of the complicated chess game.

Ao Bie put his hands behind his back, and his immature face showed wisdom that did not belong to his age, "Yes, the old man has a destiny, and he has nothing to ask for in his life. He only hopes that before he dies, he can see the world. Return to peace."
