Crown Sword

It's not far from Yanjing to the west, and it takes at most half a day to race horses, but Chen Bing at the border is sad.If you don't pass the customs and walk the old road deep in the mountains, not to mention the bumps and difficulties, even if you can really go through, without a guide to lead the way, you will still have to delay for a long time.

Shuang Li was the first to object, insisting on refusing to take a detour so that Xia Zhi could go to the Guanyun Gate of Emperor Shige to worship.

This stumped a few people.

"I have some useful things here." Shuang Li rummaged through the baggage, and found some fake buns, hair bands, beards, and moles, which were usually just teasing things, but now they solved the urgent need.

But disguises are not enough, they only have a three-point document at hand, Chao Chen's family belongings were burnt clean in Jinyang, except for the jade plate, there is nothing left.

Never leave him behind.

Just as she was distressed, a golden light shone from the bundle and hit Shuang Li's feet. She lowered her head and held it up, happily saying, "Don't use the documents, we will use this."

It was a golden hibiscus flower.

"Is it possible? It doesn't look like a family emblem or a seal." Chao Chen frowned, but he didn't see the history after a few glances. Anyway, he also stayed in Yan Kingdom for three years, and there was no chance to meet the real nobles, but the three The grievances and grievances between everyone and the royal family have been heard a lot.

It was still Gongyangyue who said: "If it doesn't work, just type it out."

Chao Chen completely shut up.

They found a village and converted it into a family of four. Everyone was satisfied, except Chao Chen.Among the four, Gongyangyue is the tallest, Qiao Min is the most masculine, neither of them can dress up as a woman, and Shuangli can only put on makeup but not change their appearance. Such flaws cannot be covered up, and finally this unlucky thing fell on Chao Chen.

Shuang Li admired his proud work: "How is it?"

"It's very inappropriate, the so-called: What makes a mortal human is etiquette and righteousness. The beginning of etiquette and righteousness lies in the integrity... (Note)" Chao Chen shook his head and took two steps while holding up the skirt, but the skirt was long and tripped. With one kick, before he finished speaking, he bumped his face into Gongyangyue's back, and the latter stretched his arms around his neck, urging Shuangli to pass the test.

Downstairs Guan, Shuang Li was very kind, "Master Jun, Lord Jun" shouted enthusiastically, holding the hibiscus flower with both hands.He never thought that it was a recruit. He stared at the gold leaf for a long time, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and put it in his pocket, thinking it was a favor for him.

Qiao Min and Gong Yangyue held down the sword hanging under their clothes at the same time.

Fortunately, there was an old soldier nearby, who saw something wrong and came over to snatch the hibiscus flower away, with tears in his eyes: "Where did it come from?"

Shuangli was about to speak, but Gongyangyue took a step ahead, and switched to Xianbei dialect to pick and choose about the whip woman, paused deliberately in the middle, seeing that the person's face was fine, and then continued Make up, just say that the whole family went out to repay the girl's kindness and do something for her.

"Since that's the case, let's go, and please greet her for me." Speaking of this, the soldier leader immediately greeted them with fists, and then let them go, and sent each other fifty steps.

When no one could be seen, Shuang Li patted her heart and gasped: "I was scared to death. What is that woman's background? She is so powerful that even soldiers respect her!"

Gong Yangyue thought for a while before answering: "It's not about respecting her, but inheriting the shade of her ancestors. Earlier I heard that after Murong Chui returned to the country, there was a female general under his command, who was the empress of the famous general Murong Ke, maybe she was."

"Wow, female general!"

Shuang Li praised, but Chao Chen interjected, "You can speak Xianbei?"

Gong Yangyue remembered that there was still someone under her ribs, so she quickly let go of him.

Thinking of the "Gongyang Qi surrenders to the Daiguo" written in the handbook, Chao Chen raised his head, gave Gongyangyue a complicated look, and walked forward alone past him.

"So what if you know the Xianbei dialect?" Shuang Li looked back and forth between the two of them, feeling inexplicable, and bumped Gong Yangyue's waist, "Old Yue, have you stayed in the country of Yan? I haven't heard you mention it." .”

Looking at the thin back, Gong Yangyue was silent for a long time, and there was an unknowingly more pain in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.He reached out and rubbed the top of Shuangli's hair, turned his head to look at Chunyan who was returning home with mud, and said softly, "No, it's Dai Guo, when I was very young."

The Tuoba clan and the Murong clan are both from the Xianbei clan, and both speak Xianbei dialect.

After finishing his words, Qiao Min lowered his head, and an unstoppable flame ignited under his eyelashes. On the other hand, Shuang Li didn't pay much attention, and just muttered casually: "I seem to have heard this saying somewhere, hey, how old are you?" It's just a matter, this girl grew up eating a lot of food, her legs are as long as her body, and she can live wherever she likes!"

----

I found a sheltered place on the top of the mountain to rest, it was already sunset and dusk, there was no way to go to the village or shop, and I could only spend the night in the wilderness.

Qiao Min lit a fire, Shuangli picked some wild fruits, Gongyangyue hunted pheasants and hares, but Chao Chen didn't do anything. Sitting alone in a clean place, watching the purple haze outside the mountain turn from prosperity to decline until the last ray of sun sets, as if sulking——

The ghost knows why he is angry. Could it be that he spends time with Ning day in and day out, so that he has a little bit of delusion by mistake?

It can be seen that he is asking for trouble, he has been in Jinyang for three years, he has heard a lot of words spoken by the people of Yan, but he has not learned a lot, Gong Yangyue's words and accents are not from his ears and eyes, it is not that good at all.What was written in the letter was correct, he, Gong Yangyue, was pretending to be a liar, a liar, and whoever believed him was a fool.

Roasted Rabbit in the Ram Moon, without any spices, so I picked some herbs nearby and crushed them.Shuang Li was already salivating, and rushed forward to tear off a leg, gobbling it up: "Mine, mine, don't grab it! Wow, it smells so good... Hey, Brother Chao is coming to eat too!"

Chao Chen didn't move.

"……What's up with him?"

Gongyangyue was very indifferent: "Cultivate to become a fairy, and you will be bigu."

"Are there really gods in this world?" Shuang Li looked back while chewing.The mountain wind raised the scarf on the cap, and mingled with the long hair in the air. The scribe in green lowered his eyes, staring at the weed grass in front of him motionless.

The light was dim, and it was difficult to distinguish his appearance for a while, but his expression was lonely and gentle.

Shuang carp ate the rabbit leg, sucked its fingers, and felt that the taste was not enough, so it went to tear the last one.Gong Yangyue flew out the dagger directly, pierced through the bone, tore off pieces of flesh, and stuck it on the green grass next to Chao Chen's legs.

"Didn't you say..." Shuang Li was scared out of her wits, hugged her knees and rubbed her hands, glared at the perpetrator, "Oh, I knew..."

Gong Yangyue added a piece of firewood to the bonfire, and said with distaste: "It's troublesome to collect the corpse after starving to death."

"Excuse!" Shuang Li interrupted him angrily, "You just forget your righteousness because of sex."

At that time, Qiao Min, who was sitting idly by the side, was taking off the water bag from the pommel horse, when he heard the words, he almost lost his hand and knocked it over.Gong Yangyue sat up straight, and nodded at the little girl with his sword finger: "Pay attention to your wording."

Shuang Li didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "Then... just for sex?"

To prevent her from being unscrupulous, Gong Yangyue raised her forehead, thinking that it was time to find someone to clean up, so she picked a piece of dog's tail grass and commanded: "Chao Chen, you will teach her to read from tomorrow."

Shuangli refused: "I don't want it, as long as I can read and write!"

What kind of petty girl is this girl? Gongyangyue is not clear about it. She is typical of eating soft and not hard, and she didn't frighten her. Debating Gong Sunlong's "On Jianbai", you wouldn't want to go to Youqiongjing, chat with him, but answer some irrelevant words?"

Shuang Li ate this trick, and immediately refused to eat the rabbit's leg, happily ran to Chao Chen's side, grabbed his arm, and smiled all over his face: "Brother Chao, teach me."

Chao Chen didn't respond, and cast a glance at Gong Yangyue.

"What are you looking at? What's so special about this grass..." Shuangli pushed her head forward, failed to gain a firm foothold, threw herself on the ground, and shook off the brown mud, leaving only the dark purple little flower.

"In the past, there were Boyi and Shuqi who did not eat Zhou millet, but picked weeds and died."

"Plucking Wei and dying?"

Seeing the little girl's surprised face, Chao Chen patiently told her the story.

It is said that the "Historical Records" once recorded that in the land of Youzhou today, there was a country called Guzhu.The Lord of Guzhu had two sons, both of whom are outstanding men in the world.Later Wu Wang Ji Fa defeated Zhou, and the world returned to Zhou. The two sons felt that Ji Fa used his vassal status to attack the emperor. Satisfy your hunger until you starve to death.

When it came to the end, he was so angry that he sang Boyi and Shuqi's poem before their death: "Climb to Mount Bixi, and pick its weeds. I don't know what is wrong with violence (Note 2)."

Violence for violence...

Gong Yangyue listened with pricked ears, always feeling that every word of Chao Chen meant something, so he couldn't help but snorted softly, really looking down on his meandering thoughts.

Shuang Li didn't hear anything, and just held his chin and sighed: "This is dead? If it were me, I wouldn't care about Zhou Su and Li Su. Living doesn't have to be important? I haven't seen King Wu return to Yin and Shang because of this." , when a person dies, he is just a piece of soil, and he can't do anything he wants to do, so why is benevolence and righteousness so important?"

"Of course it matters!"

It is the long-cherished wish of celebrities to seek straightness throughout their lives.Chao Chen clenched his fists tightly, but he didn't want to sarcastically say something to Gongyang Yueneng when he was facing a half-grown girl. In the end, he just thumped his knee and sighed repeatedly: "You will be crushed to pieces, but you must be benevolent!" With benevolence, there will be no resentment."

Gong Yangyue yawned, squinted his eyes, and didn't listen to his admonition.

At this time, Qiao Min walked over with the water bag in hand, stood three feet behind Shuang Li and said to Chao Chen, "Don't you people from the Central Plains say that it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years."

Chao Chen calmly asked, "Aren't you on the same team?"

"It's all together," Qiao Min nodded, looked up at the lone birds flying around, and thought of Goguryeo, which was far away in Liaodong, and couldn't help but whispered, "But if you have nowhere to go, maybe it's not."

"interesting."

After a while, Chao Chen pulled out his dagger, picked up the still warm rabbit leg, tore off the meat and chewed it slowly.Qiao Min sat down to drink, Shuang Li continued to pester people to tell stories, Gong Yangyue was left out in the cold, pretending not to care, and before anyone finished eating, he copied the sword and sent people to work: "Chao In the morning, go get some water."

Shuang Li had an idea, imitating Gong Yangyue's appearance, ordering others with a straight face——

"Xiao Chenzi, go and fill the water bag, and gather firewood from the bottom of the slope, so that the fire can be brightened."

Gong Yangyue kicked her away: "My people can only be ordered by me."

Shuang Li scolded stingily, seeing that Chao Chen had got up, and without the story, she had no fun at all, so she could only turn her gaze to Qiao Min, chasing him all over the hills.

Gong Yangyue leaned on the stone, resting her hands on the back of her head, and squinted her eyes with a smile, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, she cheered and cheered Shuang Li from time to time: "Not bad, not bad, next year today, your lightness kung fu is expected to rank among the top ten in Jianghu."

After Chao Chen finished his work and was about to sit down to rest, Gong Yangyue knocked on the stone with the hilt of his sword: "Come here, the stone is too hard, it hurts my head."

"You can use your bags as a pillow." Chao Chen expressionlessly picked up two and threw them over, and stood aside with his hands wrapped around his sleeves.

"That damned girl of Shuang Li must have stuffed some irritating things in it." Gong Yangyue kicked away the bag and provoked him with words, "Don't you claim that the sky will send a big responsibility to the people, you must first Only by suffering the mind and starving the body and skin can one move the heart and forbearance and gain what one cannot (Note 3), not to mention..." He stroked the broken sword with his hand and smiled slightly, "Etiquette, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and trust are both indispensable, you just talked about it There is benevolence and righteousness, how can you be dishonest right now?"

Chao Chen took a deep breath, unwilling to walk over, and handed over his hand: "It's a lotus tongue."

Gongyangyue didn't answer, and leaned back satisfied.Shuangli saw it, her eyes were shining, she hurriedly squeezed over to occupy the middle, and winked at Qiao Shiqi: "Be envious!"

"Envy, envy," Qiao Min twitched the corner of his mouth, and took a sip of wine, "It's such a happy family of three."

Shuang Li made a grimace, lying back with his vest on his back, Gong Yangyue saw the opportunity to push Chao Chen away, and his little head hit the stone with a "dong".The little girl hugged her head and burst into tears, Chao Chen felt pain just looking at it.

"There are worms in the crevices of the rocks, be careful to drill your ears and eat your brains!" Gong Yangyue continued to bluff people unkindly.

Chao Chen couldn't bear to watch, and hugged the little girl to protect her.Before the arms were encircled, Shuang Li jumped three feet, ran and jumped away from the boulder, and moved to another place.Turning around to wake up, knowing Gongyangyue's way, he was aggrieved immediately: "But there are bugs in the grass."

Nothing to do with her, Gong Yangyue took off her coat neatly and put it on.

Shuang Li pinched the hem of his clothes and shook them, laying them flat on the ground, deliberately took off his boots and stomped on them twice with his stinky feet, flaunting his power at Gong Yang Yue, so that Chao Chen held back when he wanted to speak a few times.

"What can you do with a girl who is not as good as Ji, let's pamper her." Gong Yangyue said in a tone of "the old father has broken his heart", "but I can't teach her to push her feet."

Seeing the little girl's smiling face, Chao Chen couldn't help laughing.

But when he looked back, he couldn't laugh anymore, and saw Gong Yangyue staring at him, motionless.

"What are you doing?"

"Take off your clothes."

When Shuang Li heard the movement, she put her elbows on the ground, raised her head, and saw not far away, two big men were grabbing clothes under the stone.The scene was unbearable, so she took advantage of the situation and lay down again: "You are so good, I don't know what's wrong with it."

Qiao Min was two feet away from her and turned a deaf ear to her.

"Look at these two people, what do they look like..." Shuang Li talked more and more enthusiastically.

Before the word "talk" came out, Qiao Min, who was loading the wood, suddenly said, "The couple are fighting."

Shuang carp and one carp sat up straight, but their backs couldn't keep up with their buttocks, they twisted their necks, and fell down again screaming "ouch".Hitting her head, she could only gasp, trembling and complaining: "Seventeen, I thought that sometimes you just don't speak, and if you speak, you will scare someone to death."

Just hearing a "shua", Qiao Min flashed his sword.

"What are you going to do?"

"I spoke, but you're not dead yet."

Shuang Li turned over with her head in her arms, wrapped herself in her clothes and pretended to be asleep, feeling that none of the people in the group were normal.
