Sha Po Lang

Chang Geng was red from scalp to heels, it was so ripe that it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant from the seven orifices, he was so angry that he couldn't scream.

Mrs. Cao was very envious of this kind of room beam treatment, she was fascinated by Gu Dashuai's back, and bit Ge Pangxiao's ear and said: "If I can let Lord Hou carry it once in my lifetime, I really deserve to die Already!"

Ge Pangxiao is very loyal, and immediately wiped his nose when he heard the words, and took a solid horse stance. He sank his dantian, raised his chest and folded his belly to hold his breath, and patted himself on the shoulder as if he was about to carry a big bag, looking at death as if at home Said: "Come!"

Lady Cao looked at him for a moment, spat, and angrily ran away with small steps.

On New Year's Eve, Jin Wu couldn't help it.

Once outside, Gu Yun finally remembered to save face for his godson and let him go.

Chang Geng's face was as heavy as water, and he strode forward with strides, his waist was so straight that it could be used as a flagpole, and his cloak billowed and rolled behind him, as if he already had the shape of a tall, imposing figure in the future.

Gu Yun rubbed his nose, chased after him and said with a deadpan smile, "Are you angry?"

Chang Geng shook off his hand on his shoulder, and said stiffly: "How dare you."

Gu Yun: "Aren't you tired of not stepping out of the gate every day? Children..."

Chang Geng gave him a gloomy look, and Gu Yun gave him a rare wink, and hurriedly corrected him: "Young people—young people should be more lively, you've only been a few years, and you're tired of looking at the world of mortals?"

Chang Geng had nothing to say to this kind of lively adoptive father, he put on a stiff face and said nothing, once again he wanted to wave away Gu Yun's hand that was holding him, but he just touched Gu Yun's fingertips, and was shocked by the ice.

Chang Geng frowned, and grabbed Gu Yun's hand with his backhand, seeing that the paws were blue from the cold, as cold as a dead body that had just been dug out from the ground.People don't burn Ziliujin in their stomachs, and they run around the streets wearing single clothes in the cold winter, can they not be cold?

It's almost full!

Chang Geng was so distressed that his heart ached from the pain. While he was sullen, he took off the cloak on his body repeatedly, and wrapped it around Gu Yun involuntarily. Gu Yun was pulled down by him and had to lower his head. Without dodging, he let him fasten his collar button indulgently, and enjoyed the filial piety with a smile, thinking: "It's great to have a son, when little Chang Geng grows up, I'll find another one myself— — it would be better to have a girl."

On New Year's Eve in the capital, from the third quarter of the unitary hour, there is a trombone at every moment, reminding people of the approaching steps of the coming year.

The city was full of gongs, drums and firecrackers, and red paper was flying around like colorful butterflies. There were people with two legs everywhere by the river, upstairs, in the middle of the road. It really seemed that people from all over the world were squeezed into the small Sijiu City. Compared with this kind of bustle, the market in Yanhui City, which crowds people into the river every year, is simply desolate and lonely.

Whether it was Gu Yun who forced him to go out, or Ge Pangxiao and Mrs. Cao who were in high spirits, they were all so unreasonable in Chang Geng's eyes at this moment. While holding Gu Yun's cold hand, he tried his best to warm him up. As soon as it is warm, at the same time, take care that the two country children who are looking around do not get lost, even if there are a few mysterious guards from the Xuantieying around, they are still very busy.

Maybe some people are born to worry about their lives.

At this time, there was a long sound like the howling of an eagle and the chirping of a crane in the air, and the crowd cheered.

"Red-headed kite!"

"Look, the first red-headed kite is flying this year!"

The most important place in the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, is usually free. There are countless white rainbow arrows on the nine gates, which are black eagles. If you dare to approach the capital from the sky, you will only end up being shot down.

The only exception is New Year's Eve.

A wide road from the imperial city leads directly to the outside of the city, and stands the symbol of the entire Central Plains - "Qiyuan Tower".

It is said that when those Westerners who sailed across the ocean in large ships first arrived in the Central Plains, they only knew of two places of interest, one was the Imperial Palace, and the other was Qiyuan Tower.

Qiyuan Building is not a building, but was built by the first emperor with the reduced military expenditure in the 21st year of Yuanhe. It welcomes guests from all directions in the universe. It is named "Yunmeng Daguan", and the southern area is a high platform. Some people secretly joked that it is "Zhaixingtai".

Facing each other from north to south, it means a place with a round sky, facing the imperial palace far away.

Every New Year's Eve, Tingyuan Terrace will become the center of the entire capital. Famous prostitutes and actors who come and go from north to south all sharpen their heads and want to go up to sing a song. There is no shortage of dignitaries.

And once the three quarters of the unitary hour pass, twenty "red-headed kites" will rise around the stop kite platform.

The principle of the red-headed kite is similar to that of the frontier giant kite, except that the giant kite scares countless barbarians, while the red-headed kite is purely for fun.It is in the shape of a boat, with fiery red koi engraved on both ends of the first one, ascending to the sky by ninety-nine and 81 fire wings, and the body of the boat is tied to the kite platform with a special rope that is translucent like spider silk.

As soon as the fire wings were fired, more than 20 red-headed kites like red koi hung steadily in mid-air, shaking slightly, swaying gracefully, and the night sky in the imperial capital was like water.

The view from above is excellent, there is a private room and a circle of terraces, and food and wine can be passed up along those spider-like ropes, and people on it can see the lights of thousands of families and the red walls and forbidden palaces.

Gu Yun took the three and a half teenagers up the stairs from the small road next to the station, and the guard on duty at night recognized him and was startled. He was about to bow his head in salute, but Gu Yun waved his hand lightly to stop him: "Bringing children to play, don't be too polite - have you seen General Shen?"

A fire attendant ran over from a distance: "Master Hou, this way please, General Shen is waiting for you on the red-headed kite."

Gu Yun nodded calmly, but he couldn't help admiring in his heart—he actually just brought Chang Geng and the others to join in the fun, and he didn't expect Shen Yi to be so omnipotent, and actually ordered a boat.

Ge Pangxiao stared straight at the red-headed kite, and followed Gu Yun and asked, "Master Hou, are we going to ascend to heaven?"

Gu Yun: "Don't worry, we won't be promoted again in a few decades, let's go up and step on it today."

Chang Geng listened to the ingenious and auspicious words of these two people on New Year's Eve, and really wanted to gag their mouths together.

The private room on the red-headed kite was as warm as spring, and when Gu Yun entered the room, he took off his cloak and put it on the back of the chair.

Shen Yi had already ordered a table of food and wine, and there were several beautiful young girls standing beside him in the private room, and some of the bold ones kept stealing glances at Gu Houye.

Gu Yun glanced around, and was taken aback for a moment——Shen Yi is a prematurely aging pedant, even looking at Western paintings would make his eyes dirty, and he has been prudish for 20 years, how could he leave behind such a group of tender meat?

When Dang even cast a questioning look, Shen Yi whispered in his ear: "This is what King Wei insisted on giving you after hearing about it."

Gu Yun was speechless for a while, his face was indistinguishable.

The fire attendant had sharp eyesight, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Master Hou, do you want to light the fire?"

Gu Yun paused for a moment, then nodded: "Come on—that's right, let the brothers guarding on the terrace come in for a New Year's Eve dinner. There are no outsiders today, so there is no need to be rigid."

The fire attendant got the order, and immediately exited the red-headed kite respectfully, jumped off the terrace deck, and sang in harmony.

Several soldiers from the Xuantie Battalion came in at the sound, and saluted in unison in a well-trained manner: "Commander!"

For a moment, Xuan Tie's coldness invaded the ten-foot soft world in an instant, and the ambiguous atmosphere in the private room was immediately dispelled.

Out of the corner of Gu Yun's eyes, he glanced at the waiters who had withdrawn, and one of them who was particularly pleasing to the eye even peeked at him affectionately before leaving, Gu Yun smiled at her, and at the same time thought regretfully that he had a With three and a half children, the entertainment in the middle of the night may only stop at eye contact.

Shen Yi gave a dry cough in a dignified manner, and Gu Yun looked away as if nothing had happened, and the group of five complained: "The king of Wei is not young anymore, he is really out of tune."

Shen Yipi smiled and said: "Hehe."

Fortunately, the three teenagers were attracted by the group of brightly lit fire wings around the red-headed kite, and they all lay on the window looking out, not noticing the dark and dirty adults in the room.

The buzzing of the fire wings hummed, and a gust of warm hot wind swept in with a "huh", making the window sills rattling. Chang Geng felt that his feet were empty, and he couldn't help but grab the wooden window. Shouting from the side, the whole red-headed kite trembled slightly and went up to the sky.

Just at this moment, when the time of Xu arrived, a ball of fireworks suddenly shot up from the platform of the kite, and exploded among the twenty or so red-headed kites, dyeing the spider threads that were connected with each other orange red.

The platform of the kite rises slowly, and the iron gears below are intertwined. A dancer in red appears with a pipa in her arms and opens her voice.

There is nothing more prosperous than this in heaven and earth.

Shen Yi opened a bottle of wine, raised his hand and poured a glass for Gu Yun: "This is what they paid tribute to in the first year after the rebellion in the Western Regions was put down. The luminous glass of grape wine is suitable for a hero. Try it."

Gu Yun stared at the luminous cup for a moment, his expression involuntarily faded, he took a sip and then put it down - it's not that the wine is bad, but it always feels a bit unpleasant.

Gu Yun: "Forget it, I'm not used to drinking this, let's change to Hua Diao, it seems that I'm not a hero but a bear—hey, everyone sit down, don't worry about the three of them, they've already eaten at home, let them play."

While speaking, he began to feel that his vision was a little blurred, so he lowered his head and stretched out his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, knowing that the medicine he drank a few days ago might soon be useless.

It took about half an hour for the effects of the medicine to wear off, and usually he would be blind first and then deaf.

Shen Yi knew what was going on as soon as he saw his small movements: "Master Hou?"

"It's okay." Gu Yun shook his head, changed the wine, and raised his glass to the banquet, "You are all my brave warriors, but you follow me, but you don't have any wealth, wealth, or power. The frontier is poor. Even the salary is so little, I am wronged, I will toast to the brothers first."

After Gu Yun finished speaking, he drank it in one gulp, and then couldn't help but fill another cup for himself: "The second cup is to the brothers who stayed in the Western Regions. Back then, I took them out out of nowhere and failed to bring them back..."

Shen Yi: "Marshal, it's Chinese New Year, don't talk about it."

Gu Yun smiled for a while, then stopped, raised his glass and drank it down, and immediately refilled it again.

"The third cup," Gu Yun said in a soft voice, "I respect the emperor and the empress, and may all the gods and demons treat my soul well."

Chang Geng stood by the window, at some point, the grand scenery outside could no longer attract him, he turned sideways, and stared at Gu Yun without blinking.

He had never seen Gu Yun who toasted in a lonely way and drank it all in one gulp. Such a adoptive father was almost unfamiliar to him.

After all, Gu Yun never lost his temper in front of him, and he seldom showed tiredness or unhappiness, as if he was always teasing him, both amiable and hateful - it seemed that apart from this side, many other expressions were It's not convenient to reveal it to him.

Because he's just a helpless kid.

Chang Geng suddenly felt a desire to become powerful immediately.

At this time, Ge Pangxiao suddenly turned around and shouted: "Master Hou! General Shen, Yang Maozi brought a lot of wild animals to dance! Come and see!"
