Sha Po Lang

After explaining to Jiang Chong and others the various affairs during his trip to the south, Chang Geng finally rushed back to the Hou's Mansion before the sun set, and saw Gu Yun instructing his family to pack their luggage - he himself was leisurely sitting in the courtyard Beside the railing, he was playing with the white jade flute that Chang Geng had given him, and from time to time he moved to his mouth and played a few ecstasy notes.

... If Chang Geng has any regrets at this time, it is that he regrets giving Gu Yun a flute with eyes. If he had known how good it would be to give him a solid stick to play with.

Seeing Chang Geng coming back from a distance, Gu Yun waved to him and said, "Chang Geng come here, I'll play a little song for you."

Chang Geng was afraid that he would be serious, so he hurriedly strode over, grabbed Gu Yun who was on the railing, dragged him down, leaned into his ear and said, "Keep your mouth open and do something else."

Gu Yun: "..."

He found that it was true that people who were close to ink were black, and that Chang Geng was getting more and more of his own demeanor.

The two walked towards the inner courtyard together, Chang Geng asked: "Why did you suddenly say that you are going to the Jiangbei front line at today's court meeting? I was shocked."

With his hands behind his back, Gu Yun rubbed the white jade flute back and forth on his fingertips, with a slight smile on his lips: "I don't want to stay in the capital for a long time. I'd rather be on the front line if I'm soaked in this smog every day."

Chang Geng laughed and said: "Could it be that you are going to relax?"

"Well, take it easy," Gu Yun said, "I don't worry about you either."

Chang Geng was taken aback, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually froze. For a moment, he knew that Gu Yun's casual words "I don't worry about you" were just worried about him taking a few scholars to the refugee camp near the front line, but A weird thought still came from the bottom of my heart uncontrollably.

A voice said in Chang Geng's heart: "Why is he worried about me? Is he afraid that I will do something wrong, or is he afraid that I will cooperate with Zhong Lao's Jiangbei garrison to force someone's palace?"

Seeing his footsteps suddenly pause, Gu Yun looked back at him inexplicably: "What's wrong?"

When Chang Geng met his calm eyes, he took a deep breath, reached out and rubbed his forehead, and thought, "Where did I think, am I crazy?"

Gu Yun used to be his consolation... Now that I think about it, this consolation ended at the moment when feelings overflowed, and since the moment Gu Yun turned his head to look at him, it was no longer.

Ruthlessness can be a consolation, but love is an obstacle.

There are feelings, desires, colors, scents and sounds, day-to-day greed, fear and worry, jealousy and sorrow, worries about gains and losses...

The seven emotions and the soul are turned upside down, and the six senses are overwhelmed by the world of mortals.

Chang Geng rushed up and grabbed Gu Yun's hand with a bit of anxiety, as if his heart would be settled only if he held it in his hand.Gu Yun raised his eyebrows, he didn't take it seriously, he spread his palms on the spot, and asked Chang Geng to stuff his hands into his own.

In the scorching summer, the general's hands were not warm enough, there was only a little firepower in the palm of his hand, which was all given to Chang Geng.

At this moment, Uncle Wang walked over quickly, and happened to see the virtue of these two people who were chattering in the courtyard, and immediately lowered his head with a strange expression, and reported out of sight and out of mind: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has come down. "

"Ah?" Gu Yun was taken aback, "Hurry up, please."

Chang Geng let go of Gu Yun and frowned secretly.

A moment later, the eight-year-old little prince ran up to Gu Yun on a pair of short legs. The Hou's mansion was too big. In order to maintain his majesty, the little prince refused to be hugged. When he came in front of Gu Yun, his nose was already sweating. , as soon as he entered the courtyard, he caught a glimpse of Chang Geng there, stopped Xiao Pao immediately, and walked in with square steps, first he asked to call "Uncle Huang", but remembering that Gu Yun didn't like to hear it, he handed it over like a grown-up Seeing the ceremony, he said: "Gu Shuai, Uncle Fourth Emperor."

Gu Yun squatted down and talked to him: "Why is the prince coming out of the palace so late?"

"I heard from my father that Gu Shuai was going south with the fourth uncle, and I came here to practice for the uncle and Gu Shuai," the little prince said sternly, and he forgot his words halfway. On the other hand, he pretended to be calm and composed, and continued, "May this trip to Jiangbei be safe and come back soon!"

Gu Yun was so teased by him, he laughed while listening, the little prince secretly glanced at him, and didn't get angry when he was laughed at, he clumsily took out two peace charms and gave one to each of Gu Yun and Chang Geng.

Gu Yun teased him and said, "The prince has finished practicing, what else can I order?"

The little prince was embarrassed to say it at first, but after a long stretch, he carefully pulled Gu Yun's clothes corner: "I also want to ask for Gu Shuai's calligraphy, but my father said that he used to have Huang... Gu Shuai's copybook. "

Gu Yun liked it so much, without saying a word, he leaned over and picked up the little prince, and wrote a copy to him in the study, the little prince ordered his servants to pack it in a brocade box, and happily rushed back to the palace.

All the way to send the prince out of the mansion with courtesy, Chang Geng said: "The former emperor used me as a pawn to tie you up, now Li Feng is repeating the old trick, using the prince to repair the relationship with you?"

Gu Yun couldn't help but laugh: "What do you mean, children are also jealous?"

Chang Geng looked at him with a half-smile, and suddenly said: "Father is biased, he never held my hand and taught me to write stroke by stroke."

Gu Yun: "..."

Who imitated his handwriting so seamlessly that he fooled He Ronghui from Xuantieying?

Gu Yun: "Are you also eight years old?"

Chang Geng poked him in the heart with a calm face: "No one taught me when I was eight years old. Hugel only used the fire stick that was just taken out of the stove..."

"Okay, okay," Gu Yun hurriedly said, "Can I make it up for you?"

As Gu Yun said, he took the pen from just now and gave it to Chang Geng, and held his hand from behind. With the other hand propped on the table, he lowered his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and brought Chang Geng down a letter in block letters on the paper. The word "Min".

Chang Geng's body was covered with the faint scent of medicine, and he took a deep breath calmly: "Writing a single word is not enough, I always copied scriptures when I was in Huguo Temple."

"..." Gu Yun shook his hand, "Fuck you, do you want to exhaust me to death?"

Chang Geng didn't say a word, just stared at him motionlessly. After a while, Gu Yun gave in, and put his chin on Chang Geng's shoulder in resignation, wrapped his left hand around his waist, and half-lyed on him, stroke by stroke. Copying his scriptures about being plagued by the plague, I feel that this person has become more and more arrogant in recent days, and I can't control it.

Three days later, the chief and deputy imperial envoys—Prince Yan and Deputy Inspector Xu Ling left Beijing under the escort of Gu Yun and twenty personal guards, accompanied by Ge Chen from Lingshu Academy.

Xu Ling was the Tanhua hand-picked by Li Feng in the first year of Long'an. He was as famous as Ling, with delicate features and powdered face. If it weren't for the murderous guards of Marquis Anding to destroy the atmosphere, this deputy inspector would stand with King Yan , just like two sons and brothers traveling together.

After leaving the Nine Gates, Gu Yun directly brought the group to the Peking University Camp. Xu Ling, a first-year scholar, was not too afraid of Gu Yun, the legendary black iron weapon, and asked bluntly, "Master Hou, why are we here at the Peking University Camp?" what for?"

Gu Yun smiled and said, "Change horses."

The future of this journey is full of troubles. Inspector Xu is prepared to be devastated and tired of dealing with local corrupt officials. Even if he is accompanied by An Dinghou, it does not increase the sense of security-especially when he finds that An Dinghou is very happy, as if It's not like going to Longtan and Tiger's Den, but like going on an outing.

Xu Lingzhengzhang and the second monk were puzzled, and Ge Chen had already entered the Peking University Camp familiarly.After Ge Chen joined Fenghangong's family, he gradually took over the military industry and combat preparations from Fenghangong. He often came to Peking University to run errands, and he became familiar with him.

Ge Chen brought a group of people into the fire machine and steel armor warehouse of Beidaying with ease: "My lord, Mr. Xu, this way please."

Afterwards, Xu Ling was shocked.

I saw a "kite" on the flat ground, which was the same size as the red-headed kite back then, but its outer skin was much simpler and more low-key than the red-headed kite. There were no carved jade pillars like those painted boats, and there was only a gray black iron shell on it. .

The "kite" stopped quietly in place, and there was no fire wing on either side. Instead, several rows of scheduling holes as thick as iron cannon muzzles were installed on the four bases. The lines were so smooth that they were almost elegant, like It is an eagle armor magnified countless times.

Xu Ling was amazed and said, "What is this?"

Ge Chen introduced triumphantly: "I haven't named it yet. There is only one frame in the whole girder. We tried to install the power of the eagle on the little kite, and it took many times before we succeeded. The giant kite moves much faster step by step. It’s just that it’s still immature, and there’s only one machine in the world. It consumes a lot of fuel and can’t hold much stuff. This is the first time it’s used outside of the test flight—— When the problem of fuel consumption can be solved, this air tanker can drive those foreigners back to their hometown in a short while. My master said, if it can be used in the army, it might as well be called a 'big eagle'."

Xu Ling glanced in disbelief at Chang Geng, who was not surprised—has His Royal Highness Yan Wang planned to clean up Jiangbei's moths?Even the means of transportation that can travel thousands of miles are all ready!

"Let's go directly to the Jiangbei front line," Chang Geng said, "Master Hou has already greeted Mr. Zhong, leave this thing at the front line garrison, and then find a way to pretend to go from south to north. We are ready to fight, why bother to take advantage of their tricks? How about it, Master Xu, dare to sit on this 'sky chariot' that no one has touched before?"

Xu Ling's family was poor, and he didn't bother to bow down to the rich and powerful, and he didn't bother to associate with merchants. Although he was known as a prodigy since he was a child, his talent was outstanding, and he was clearly a man of great talent. The people who traded money gave way, and even the great talent who was famous in the capital spent countless years in the court, how could he be without complaints?

Previously, there had been rumors in the court that the last time Prince Yan was rectifying the banks of the canal, he seemed to act resolutely, but in fact it just gave the big families a chance to deploy their own people. Xu Ling came out with King Yan this time, knowing that the Jiangbei local officials The foundation is deep, the influence is intertwined, and I am not uneasy, lest the investigation will end, and I don’t know who made the wedding clothes for.

It wasn't until this moment that he felt that King Yan might really want to do something. When his heart was surging, he responded in a clear voice: "The salary of the king, how dare you retreat before the battle? Please, my lord!"

Back then, Gu Yun used the eagle armor to fly from the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River, and it only took two or three days. This aerial chariot is large in size, and it is slower than the black eagle, but it is not too slow. It took two and a half days, and at this time, the news of Yan Wang's departure from Beijing had not yet been delivered to those who cared.

And as soon as they left, some people in the capital began to move around.

Emperor Long'an loved hard work and frugality. Since the war broke out, the air in the entire capital was very tense, and it was a bit quieter than a national funeral. All singing, dancing and entertainment were stopped. No one wanted to touch Emperor Long'an at such a time. The Goulan Courtyard was closed, and it was hard to find a place to relax.

As soon as Gu Yun left, Shen Yi had one less place to drink and chat every day, he really had nowhere to go, and wished he could grow up in the military camp.

At first, nothing happened, but after hiding for two days, someone from the Shen family came to arrest him.

Shen Yi had no choice but to go to the execution ground and go back with his little boy, but before anyone entered the door, the starling that Mr. Shen was hanging by the door opened his mouth and said nonsense to him: "The two-legged bastard is back, the two-legged little one is here!" The beast is back!"

Shen Yi picked up a chaff and flicked it on the bird's head: "Shut up, flat-haired beast."

After being beaten, the bird was very annoyed, and screamed, "You little bastard has no hair, you poor little bastard has no hair!"

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and handed the reins of the horse to the boy at home——he hadn't heard the word "Sangmenxing" for a long time, so he couldn't help but tilt his head and ask, "Who's here at home?"

The servant replied: "Go back to the general, the third lady brought Young Master Hui here, and she is talking to the old man inside."

Shen Yi suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart—the third wife was the widow of his third uncle, who was burdened by him back then and died young, leaving only an orphan and widow at home, his cousin Shen Hui was weak and sick since childhood, When she grew up, she became dissipated, and when she had nothing else to do all day long, she just knew that she was mixed in with makeup, and her face was full of kidney deficiency.

Although Mr. Shen has always been ashamed of his sister-in-law, his aunt has always blamed Shen Yi for the untimely death of his third uncle. The two families have not met for a long time. Shen Yi still remembers the woman in mourning pointing at him and yelling at him. The appearance of Sangmen Xing couldn't help but wonder: "What's the matter with Auntie?"

The servant said: "This... the villain is not very clear, but seeing that the third lady has brought a lot of gifts, she is very polite when she enters the door. If you want to visit relatives, there is nothing wrong with it."

Shen Yi let out a "huh", walked in with a heavy heart, and sure enough, he saw his third aunt and cousin were there.The pretty widow back then is now so old that she looks old, the third lady has protruding cheekbones, and her mandible is sharp enough to stab a knife. Kezi smiled obsequiously when he saw Shen Yi, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

Before Shen Yi could finish the ceremony, the third lady had already stood up, the handkerchief in her hand was rolled up, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years, but Ji Ping is so promising, Admiral of the Southwest, he is a great official in the frontier, The future is limitless——ah, as a mother, I am not as cruel as your father. If I had known that I would have kicked your worthless brother out of the house and let him go wandering around, I wouldn’t have grown into the bear I am now. Sample."

Shen Yi didn't know what she meant, but he was polite and kept silent.

The third aunt seemed to be a little afraid of him, so she reluctantly greeted him enthusiastically, and sat on the side, not daring to look at him anymore. In a few words, Shen Yi understood what the third aunt meant—it was his cousin Shen who had been arguing for a long time Hui caused trouble, and Shen Hui could not succeed in martial arts, and even a low-level official donated three days of fishing and two days of drying the net. A while ago, Emperor Long'an explicitly prohibited officials from entering and leaving the place of fireworks, but some people who are not good at it don't take it to heart. He didn't dare to go to the Goulan Hutong on the bright side, so he gathered a group of cronies to go whoring.

It's okay to steal fishy food, after eating a few bowls of yellow soup, and fighting with the National People's Congress because of jealousy, Jing Zhaoyin got into trouble.

The whole country is gloomy, and these people are still in the mood to engage in such a thing. Jing Zhaoyin is about to send a group of prodigal sons who participated in the brawl to prison. They are all high-ranking and respectable families. After a few activities, the relationship will come out. Who knows that it is catching up with Emperor Long'an to rectify the atmosphere , hit the muzzle.

The corners of Shen Yi's mouth twitched after hearing this, and he thought: "If Shen Hui was my son, he would have been beaten to death a long time ago, and you still let him go out to throw this kind of person?"

The third lady wiped her tears and said: "For this evil animal, I begged my grandpa to sue my grandma, and all the relations that could be left were gone. Later, I handed in a handkerchief. In the early years, I married Mr. Lu of the Ministry of Punishment, and came forward to help this evil. A good word to redeem him."

Shen Hui was eating melon seeds indifferently, as if the disaster was not caused by him.

Shen Yi didn't answer for a while, although he was born in a family, he rarely mixed with this group of people, who was whose wife and who's in-laws couldn't figure out for a while.

Mr. Shen said: "Since that's the case, we should come to the door to thank you."

"That's not it," said the third lady, regaining her spirits, "The next day I personally prepared a generous gift and went to Mr. Lu's house to thank Mr. Lu. Who would have thought that not only did he not accept the gift, but he was also polite, saying it was a trivial matter, just to be with Mr. Lu. Our Shen family has a good cause, and we may be relatives in the future——I just realized that it is due to our General Shen's honor."

Shen Yi glanced at her, then at his father, unable to laugh.

Shen Yi said bluntly: "I don't know where did Auntie say that?"

He went in and out of the battlefield, no matter how bookish he was, he couldn't help being tainted with a bit of murderous aura, his face turned cold and he raised his eyes, the third lady's face twitched, she looked away in embarrassment as if she couldn't bear to look at him, and said evasively: "Isn't the second elder brother proposing marriage to the general recently? The general doesn't know. The sister I handed the handkerchief to is the step-wife of Mr. Lu from the household department. Mr. Lu's daughter is waiting in the boudoir. She is talented and beautiful. She is in the capital Known for her reputation, when the general of our family solved the difficulties in the capital, the girl was very fond of the general—who doesn’t love a hero? It’s just that our general has a lot of affairs and has never had much contact with civil servants, and the girl’s skin is thin, so it’s not good Come to ask rashly, ask me to find out."
