Wulong Inn

The ancient literati were more or less a bit of a plot to express their feelings by climbing high, as if only standing at the place with the widest view can expel the depression in their chests.

The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and the stars can be picked by hand. Come to think of it, Li Shixian, who has long been dead, can think of this extremely exaggerated poem, he must be at a very high place, proudly looking down on the incomparably small living things.

At this time, standing on the highest point of Ding'an Mansion - on the eaves of the West City Watchtower, Zhang Boxing was moved by the vastness he could see. , with long hair flying, quite a bit of majestic bearing.

But after all, not everyone will have romantic feelings. Gao Fei is obviously one of the crowd of unsightly people. Endless resentment, he was too careless, how could he trust Zhang Boxing so easily!

At first, Gao Fei walked all the way beside Zhang Boxing. Seeing that the corner of the land was getting more and more remote, and the population was getting less and less, he was still a little hesitant, but when he thought that the other party had taken him to such a beautiful Wulongling Gao Fei's few traces of doubt that just appeared disappeared immediately.

But the cruel facts proved that empiricism is not worth it. Sure enough, suddenly, the other party gave him a huge 'surprise'. He was taken to the tower on the side of the city wall with just a blink of an eye!

It's the end of September now, and it's almost the beginning of October. It's okay to climb a mountain in mid-July. After all, the night is not too cold at that time, but standing on a tall building at the end of September to watch the stars at night is very brain-dead. I know that the autumn nights in Cangzhou are famously cold and windy.

At this moment, Gao Fei was 'enjoying' the cold wind rushing in from all directions, while trembling, he kept thinking in his heart that he must not just follow people around without asking questions, today's lesson is too profound ...

At first, Gao Fei wanted to growl to fully express his dissatisfaction, but before he could say anything, a gust of cold wind whizzed by, and Gao Fei felt a cloud of cold air running down his mouth, so that The resentment and resentment in his heart were instantly extinguished... It was so clear and refreshing.

Zhang Boxing saw that there was a lot of movement on his side, turned his head and glanced at him quickly, and warned: "Shut up, do you want those city guards to hear?".

So... So, Gao Fei, who hadn't recovered from the tragic and wonderful experience just now, stopped eating like this.Closing his eyes, Gao Fei thought to himself, md, I gave up my life to accompany the gentleman today, so you can do as much as you like.

Zhang Boxing had been observing the movement of the defense, and he didn't pay much attention to the changes in Gao Fei's mood. When he saw the group of city guards walking away, he turned to look at Gao Fei.But he saw that the other party was like a small cabbage swept by the cold wind, wilted there, and almost shrank into a ball to retain the last trace of warmth.

Watching this scene in astonishment, Zhang Boxing suddenly realized that not everyone has the inner strength to protect himself and is not afraid of the severe cold like him.

Seeing Gao Fei's shrunken face, Zhang Boxing was amused but also a little bit distressed. He strode forward and grabbed him. Zhang Boxing said apologetically, "Go down first, and it will be warm in the room after a while."

Gao Fei didn't reply when he heard the words, and snorted angrily to express his dissatisfaction.In view of the tragic experience just now, Gao Fei decided to only speak through his nostrils at this moment.

Looking at Gao Fei with an awkward face, Zhang Boxing couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly, and stopped asking for his opinion, and led him to go somewhere in the tower...

------------------segmentation-----------------

"What kind of place is this?" Looking at the small room in front of him, Gao Fei asked with some doubts.In front of him is a very narrow small room, except for a soft bed for a nap, there are only a set of chairs and a bookcase in the corner.

"Study." Zhang Boxing replied indifferently.

study?Gao Fei couldn't help being stunned, and said to himself, it's really unconventional to build the study here. He glanced at the simple furnishings in the house. Although they are a bit old, he can still see some extraordinary things from the texture and workmanship. .

There is only one window in the house, and when you open it, you can see the vast land in the northwest of the city. Standing by the window, Zhang Boxing seems to be caught in some kind of memory, and he sighed after a while: "Back then, there was a general here , overlooking the distance from the window, overlooking the land of Cangzhou and the barbarians of the Qiang and Yuan Dynasties."

"Old General Yuan?" Unaware of the gloomy look on Zhang Boxing's face, Gao Fei looked at the surrounding decorations, and said casually, he remembered the allusion about the naming of Ding'an Mansion that he heard outside the city gate.

Zhang Boxing couldn't help but hesitated when he heard the words, and after a long silence, he said hesitantly: "You...do you also think that the Zhang family colluded with foreigners in order to seek rebellion?" There was some unspeakable resentment in the words.

"Of course not," Gao Fei cut off when he heard the words. At this time, he had already turned to the bookcase, took out a book, and found that there was no dust on the book, so he couldn't help flipping through it happily.

Gao Fei's answer obviously surprised Zhang Boxing, and he couldn't help but be taken aback.

But Gao Fei said while flipping through the book: "When I was flipping through the book a few days ago, I came across something by chance. Speaking of which, this historical record is too vague, there must be some problems,"

Having said that, Gao Fei simply put down the book, looked at Zhang Boxing, and began to analyze slowly: "Think about it, such a thing as treason, but in order to win higher power and deceive the Yin clan, it needs to be decided before it is acted on." Back then, Taizu's sudden death was an unexpected incident, and the Zhang family's family members were all in Zhongdu, so the timing of the conspiracy was too hasty."

After finishing speaking, Gao Fei paused for a moment, and said again: "What's more, rebellion needs to be righteous in order to be justified. According to the records in this history book, it is colluding with foreigners to subvert Kaiyuan's orthodoxy. This is also unreasonable..."

After talking to himself for a while, seeing that Zhang Boxing didn't respond, Gao Fei couldn't help but pause, and said a little embarrassedly: "I've talked too much."

Immediately, he frowned strangely again, thinking to himself that he was still talking about the room just now, how could it be brought up to state affairs in a blink of an eye, he was secretly puzzled, but he didn't notice that Zhang Boxing looked at him differently.

After thinking about it, Gao Fei decided to change the subject, and said again: "Didn't you just say that this room belongs to an old general?"

"Yes..." Zhang Boxing regained his composure when he heard the words, and said, but at this moment, his expression was less gloomy and resentful, and more joyful.

Seeing this, Gao Fei thought for a moment, secretly said that they are all surnamed Zhang, he must have met a descendant of the Zhang family, if so, then the old general, could it be... Thinking of this, A hint of surprise appeared in Gao Fei's eyes, but this thought only passed by in a flash, and was quickly buried in his heart.Gao Fei has no intention of guessing other people's privacy, if Zhang Boxing wants to tell him, he will tell him one day.

With this in mind, Gao Fei simply turned around.Sitting on the wooden chair in the room, he looked up at Zhang Boxing, and said slowly: "That old general must be a hero."

Hearing the words, Zhang Boxing's smile grew stronger, and he said slowly, "I haven't seen him either, it's just a few words from hearsay."

"Maybe, let's hear it." Gao Fei showed some interest when he heard the words.

Hearing the words, Zhang Boxing fell into his memories. Unexpectedly, the image of the one-armed old man full of hostility appeared in his mind. The second uncle who had no warmth other than urging himself to take revenge and restore the glory of the family , How did he tell himself at that time, about his father, about everything that happened in this small room.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Boxing said slowly: "Back then, this Ding'an Mansion was far less prosperous than it is now, and the population was also very sparse. The man was young and vigorous, and wanted to go out for a living. The style of the state is very different, and the folk customs are aggressive. I want to see it. Who would have thought that what I saw along the way was all dilapidated and dilapidated scenes. , there is not even a complete city wall!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Boxing was a little excited, and he paused before saying: "Speaking of which, this place was not called Ding'an Mansion at that time." Seeing Gao Fei nodding his head to express his understanding, he continued: "At that time, he secretly made up his mind to Build the big and small prefectures and counties here to be as solid as gold, and drive the Qiang Yuan people out of my Kaiyuan territory!"

"What happened later?" Seeing that Zhang Boxing had fallen into silence, Gao Fei couldn't help asking.

Hearing the words, Zhang Boxing smiled wryly, and said slowly: "Later, he disregarded his family's opposition and asked the late emperor to go to Cangzhou. The big and small cities in Cangzhou have been reinforced, and they are much more secure.

Back then, he spent the most time building Ding'an City. He said that this is the capital of Cangzhou. After it is completed, it should be called "Ding'an", which means Yongding Ankang. The small room is facing the northwest, so that when you look from a distance, you can see the beautiful scenery of Cangzhou and the Qiang Yuan barbarians in the north.

At that time, he was full of ambition, and only waited for the late emperor to give orders, and he would lead the troops to the north! "Speaking of this, Zhang Boxing's tone also showed a bit of pride, as if he was the one who made the great wish.

"Then did he succeed?" Gao Fei had a thoughtful look in his eyes when he heard the words, and seeing Zhang Boxing paused again, he asked in a timely manner.

"It's half the battle," Zhang Boxing said in a deep voice after being silent for a long while, "Back then, he had finally waited for the order of the first emperor to send troops. He took off his wedding dress, and suffered great injustice for no reason." Speaking of this, Zhang Boxing's eyes were filled with monstrous hatred.

Slowly chewing on the other party's words, Gao Fei has already confirmed that the original owner of this small room must be a member of the Zhang family, but then he was a little puzzled, and secretly thought, why did Zhang Boxing report this to himself?Could it be that he is indirectly revealing his identity?

He didn't allow him to analyze for too long, and soon, this series of guesses became a paste in his mind. Gao Fei felt his eyes go dizzy, and his head began to feel heavy. He knew that this was just being crushed by the cold wind The drunkenness came up again, trying hard to maintain a sense of clarity, Gao Fei began to listen to Zhang Boxing's next words.

However, Zhang Boxing was silent for a while, and finally said with a smile: "Fortunately, God is merciful, the grievances of these years will finally be washed away, and the general who has been so stigmatized must know and be happy." of."

After saying that, Zhang Boxing seemed to have made up his mind, and a little firmness flashed in his eyes: "So, no matter how much hardship there is, I will try my best to get justice."

Speaking of this, Zhang Boxing was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said with a smile: "These are all thoughts from the bottom of my heart, why have I told you all of them?"

In a blink of an eye, Gao Fei lowered his head and seemed to be lost in thought. He hesitated for a while, and said tentatively: "I don't know why, I always think about you, and there are many things I want to tell you... "Halfway through speaking, seeing that Gao Fei didn't respond, Zhang Boxing couldn't help but pause, and looked at Gao Fei with some anxiety.But seeing that the other party was still the same as before, with his head down and his hands on the table, Zhang Boxing frowned slightly when he saw this, and couldn't help but step forward a few steps.

Carefully lifting the other person's face, Zhang Boxing couldn't help but burst out laughing, but Gao Fei had already fallen asleep at some point.

Speaking of which, Gao Fei is considered a qualified listener. No matter what, he can maintain this minimum courtesy when others are speaking, but today's situation is very special.Because the drowsiness brought about by alcohol made his eyelids heavy for a while, and Zhang Boxing's magnetic voice seemed to have some kind of soothing power, which made him feel at ease for no reason.

Before he knew it, Gao Fei fell on the table and fell asleep.At that time, Zhang Boxing was muttering his thoughts, so naturally he didn't notice Gao Fei's strangeness.

Pinching Gao Fei's face punitively, Zhang Boxing sighed, and said helplessly, "Forget it, I'll let you go this time."
