Crown Sword

The silk and bamboo orchestra rises in the wind, and the person carrying the flower chariot touches the toes in front of the pier, floats forward in the air, and then lands steadily on the flower boat in the middle of the lake. Shi Miaoyi holds flower branches and dances on the waves. The girl descended from heaven.

The audience along the coast sometimes cheered and sometimes sang.

Wang Mi rented a painting boat, the interior room is hollow and spacious, it is not too cramped for ten people, there is a small table and stove on the bamboo mat, tea set and wine vessel are all there is.

Seeing that Diao's people searched by the lake to no avail, they left dejectedly. Wang Hong was relieved, and hurriedly asked the man in charge of the pole to lean on the boat and change to Wang Mi's painting boat.After being soaked in water, his feet were hot and humid, so he took off his boots, hung them on the bow of the boat, and walked around the boat barefoot.

Everyone is sitting or lying down, watching Lingbo dance from a distance through the veil.

Don't look at Wang Hong's informality, among them, his sitting posture is the most regular, which is completely different from when he is running around. Just look at him sitting upright with his knees together, and after a dance, he looks a little lonely while holding a wine bottle: " According to the gossip, you may not look forward to Lingbo Dance at the Flower Festival in the future."

Several literati all sighed.

Many people in the world eat young food, no matter how superb Shi Miaoye's dancing skills are, and no matter how peerless her appearance is, there will always be a time when she grows old. Judging from her current age, Jiji said that the married ones are probably children Everyone should be married, and indeed they should be replaced.

The normal state of life, although it is a pity, should not be sad, but the bad thing is that Shi Miaoye has not accepted a disciple for many years, this mantle has no successor, and there is no successor. I am afraid that the Lingbo Ball will disappear in the world.Wang Hong couldn't help sighing: "First, there was a fire in Lutai, and Sang Zi disappeared, and now Miao Ye has also retired. I am afraid that there will be no more beautiful women in the world."

Gong Yangyue couldn't understand their relatives, in his opinion, if there is one, there is no problem, there is no need to worry about it, so he knocked on the table and interrupted: "Then you go. "

Normally, Wang Hong would stand up and argue with Gong Yangyue, but now he suddenly understood, clapped his hands and said: "It makes sense! Only self-sufficiency can last long!" So he straightened his clothes and went smoothly Pulling off the white feathers hanging from Shuangli's waist, he strode onto the deck, "Just go!"

"Skin drum!"

As he spoke, he said "dong dong" by himself, and stepped on his feet.

"Sizhu music."

The music floating in the distance is very light and shallow, so Wang Mi picked up bamboo chopsticks and tapped the edges of the five bowls lightly. Liu Yu picked up the thin willow leaves falling on the silk curtain and whistled. Cheng Tuo, while Gong Yangyue struck the clapper as the music, and after Tuobagui cleared his throat, he echoed in a low voice with a thick tone like the vast wilderness.

In the past, Baqi dance would be danced in the palace during the sacrifices. Based on memory, Wang Hong moved with the beat and adapted it accordingly.Passers-by on the shore heard it, and were attracted by his wild and unruly manner, they all raised their heads and looked sideways, whispering and laughing frequently.

It makes others happy, and he himself is also happy.

After the dance music was gone, the flower boats in the lake withdrew, and most of the tourists left. The rest of the tourists either buried their heads in a hurry, or huddled in the boats to listen to the music and drink. Quietly push away the ripples.

Chao Chen wanted to drink tea, but Gong Yangyue said that he was disappointed, so he couldn't help but snatch the tea set, and the helping hand was passed from one end to the other like drumming flowers, and was hidden under the small stool of Mo Weng. He couldn't get enough, so he could only sit Admit it.Gong Yangyue got a bargain, and immediately lit the stove to warm up the wine, and deliberately gave Chao Chen a big white jade cup.

Liu Yu and Tuoba Gui sat aside, but they didn't make a fuss. They talked to Jiang Xinyue and Yu Jiahuo.

"What are Brother Liu's plans for the future?" Tuoba Gui asked.

The debt has been cleared. If the person in front of him wants to pay back the debt, he will not get the year of the monkey just by doing long-term work. If he wants to earn money as soon as possible, he will naturally not take the usual path. He agrees with Wang Mi's statement and thinks that this person will not Bury the market.

Sure enough, Liu Yu replied: "Maybe I won't stay in Jiankang again."

Tuobagui asked back: "Is Jiankang not good?"

"Although Jiankang is good, it's a land of drunkenness and dreams. Listen—" Liu Yu put his palms next to his ears, and leaned over to look out of the cabin. A cappella came from the drifting boat, and the words were softly bitten. It's Jiang Zuo. The unique dialect, "Unfortunately, they are all sloppy sounds. Once upon a time in the north, I heard a ballad-"Han Suqing is white and turbid like mud, Gao Diliang is as timid as a chicken (Note)", you say, now with the second emperor Huan Ling How is it any different?"

Tuobagui took a sip of his wine, noncommittal: "Aren't you afraid of losing your head when you say that?"

Liu Yu shook his head: "It's terrible to lose your head? The terrible thing is that no one says it, and everyone thinks it's good now."

Tuobagui couldn't help but startled, choked on the wine, and started coughing in time.Liu Yu then continued: "After Grand Master Xie passed away, there is no one in the court to carry the tripod!"

Civil servants follow Sima Daozi's lead, but the Battle of Feishui was only 20 years ago, and there are still many veterans who participated in it. Arbitrary manipulation, maybe stealing chickens will not lose money, but will cause riots.Therefore, Tuobagui's eyes darkened, and he asked tentatively, "Isn't there still Xie Yan in the army?"

"The Xie family's nephews and nephews combined can't be worth a Grand Tutor Xie An, let alone," Liu Yu paused, with a confused look on his face, "The Xie family took the lead in the battle of Feishui, but what are you waiting for? , put power out of the town to escape, and after the two mountains of the Xie family fell one after another, they were unscrupulously suppressed and seized power."

Tuoba Gui thought for a while: "What about Liu Laozhi who broke through Luojian back then and made his mark?"

Liu Yu was silent for a moment, and then replied: "He? Your Excellency, I'm afraid you don't know something. This person has been dismissed in the Battle of Linqiu, and now he is alone. Although he still joins the Jianghuai front line, he has no real power for a long time, and he can rise again. What a prodigal son. Besides, when I went south, I was lucky enough to meet Liu Laozhi once from a distance. Liu Laozhi has a peculiar face and is born with a rebellious appearance. He doesn't seem to be able to bring stability.

As he spoke, Liu Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wang Hong, who was laughing during the banquet. The simplicity and purity of Jiankang were really incompatible with the turbulent Jiankang.The struggle for power between the Sima family and the gentry would inevitably lead to troubles, but if the enemy had not yet come, they were afraid that civil strife would start first, so how could one not be pessimistic.

When Wang Mi scolded Wang Hong earlier, although he didn't respond, it didn't mean he didn't understand.

Those of us who are ambitious, how can we sit back and watch the dynasty collapse!

Liu Yu held the wine bottle heavily, and drank it with his head up: "That boy Wang Hong said something right, only self-sufficiency can last long, and I intend to join the Beifu army. If one day I can become a famous general in the world, I will help this The building will fall!" After talking for a long time, I was answering, but I didn't listen to his advice, Liu Yu then asked: "Then what are your plans? Your Excellency doesn't look like a person from the south of the Yangtze River... I said it in a hurry, and I don't know what to say." I know your honorable name."

Under the green willows on the Jia'an bank, there are people talking about the Tao, talking about the Book of Changes, and opening their mouths is Yuan Henry Zhen, and Yuan is the beginning of all things.Tuobagui came to pick him up, and said in a wild tone, "You can call me Yuangui (note). I don't belong here, and I will leave in the future. If Brother Liu joins the army, there may be a chance to meet each other in the future."

As the emperor of the country, he shouldn't have spoken lightly, let alone blatantly and secretly pointed out, but under this situation, he couldn't restrain the impulse in his heart——

Maybe one day we will meet again.

Liu Yu shook out a copper plate from his sleeve, and guessed with Tuobagui to fight for wine.

Cui Hao is not good at drinking, and he is not very familiar with the two kings, he was afraid of revealing something that he shouldn't, so he and Cui Tanfeng supported the side of the boat to feed the fish. The more people look forward to it, after a while, there will be three or five people who stop by the shore, because both of them have good looks in the market, and a woman throws flowers and branches from time to time, so scared that they shrank into the cabin to grind the new early spring tea .

Shuang Li is the most popular. Although she only met once, she has a sweet mouth and is very supportive. She soon became acquainted with Er Wang, chatting non-stop about the anecdotes and legends she heard along the way.

As for Gong Yangyue, she was busy trying to persuade Chao Chen to drink, sometimes saying that he was generous, sometimes praising him for his righteousness, and adding fuel and vinegar to the night when he was carried out of the Wuding River. He was almost convinced of it himself.

Chao Chen is really a "one cup down", drinking two more pots, people's eyes are staring.

Gong Yangyue took advantage of the situation to tease him, probably because Wang Mi's collection of wine was not comparable to that of the ferryman, it was mellow and intoxicating, and when Chao Chen got up, he wobbled and wobbled.

There was a lot of commotion, and others looked over. Liu Yu was well-informed, and when he saw a problem at a glance, he spoke faster than Cui Tanfeng, a doctor who "sees, hears, and asks": "This is not rice wine. It is very strong. Let him breathe out!"

Gong Yangyue felt as if her foot was on the ground, panicked and lost, she hurriedly docked the painting boat, helped him down to the ground, then waved her hands to call for a few people to play slowly, and took them to find hangover soup.

"Dizzy, so dizzy."

Chao Chen couldn't stand still, and threw himself on Gongyangyue. The latter was happy at first, but seeing his blushing face and puffed cheeks, his expression changed immediately, and he subconsciously kicked him, pushing him into the open space: "You spit over there!"

Without support, Chao Chen couldn't even hold the tree steady. It was lucky that he didn't plant it in the water, and it was expected that his clothes would get dirty.

Gong Yangyue squinted her eyes, disgusted with the stench, but still walked forward, patiently stripped off the dirty clothes, took off her coat, and put it on him.

When he leaned over, Gong Yangyue's chin touched his forehead, and Chao Chen's cheeks were hot. If he met a savior at this moment, he didn't even think about sticking it around his neck, and brought his cheek to his face, gently rubbing it coolness.

With the night wind blowing, Chao Chen showed a "comfortable" smile.

Gong Yangyue's brain buzzed, his Adam's apple rolled, and he couldn't hold the lace tightly in his hand. Seeing that he couldn't hold it, he pushed the person away violently under a spirit.

Chao Chen slumped back to the root of the old tree, leaning against the thick old willow trunk hugged by the two of them, closed his eyes, and breathed steadily.Gong Yangyue squeezed the sweat in her hands, gasped in a low voice, looked back, and turned to find the hangover soup.

Now he knows what it means to play with fire.

Fortunately, there was a farmhouse less than a mile nearby, and they knocked on the firewood door in a hurry. There are a lot of people, and it's not the first time I've seen a hangover here.

Gong Yangyue thanked him again and again, and even offered some broken money as a gift, but he declined, and just dragged him to chat, talking about wine, sometimes talking about good wine, sometimes talking about drunkenness, talking about it, Also a connoisseur of wine.

The hangover soup was ready quickly, and the woman put it in a small cup and tied it with a hemp rope to hold it securely, and carried it for him. Before going out, she repeatedly told her not to drink it in a hurry, but to drink it slowly, or she would burn her tongue.Gongyangyue hummed again and again, and disappeared into the forest without waiting for anyone to finish her long talk.

When he returned to the place where he had just disembarked, he looked around, but he couldn't see the white shadow.

"Chao Chen? Chao Chen!"

Gong Yangyue's hand holding the porcelain cup trembled, almost splashing the lid and the soup on the ground, obviously very anxious.He went to the water's edge, there was not even a bubble in the water, he was afraid that he would sink into the lake and lose consciousness by drowning.Thinking of that day by the Wuding River, he also fell into the river after being drunk, and even forgot about the water, he only knew how to pester people——

Thinking of this, Gong Yang Yue's hands and feet felt cold and numb.

He opened his mouth and yelled, but his eyes were red with anxiety: "Chao Chen, Chao..." There was a movement not far away, as if someone was arguing and arguing, he raised his sword and took a closer look, it was not Chao Chen, but just in front of him Standing are two Lianjiazi holding swords, but they are not familiar faces. Looking at their outfits, they are just strangers on the road.

Chao Chen has a poor capacity for alcohol but not a bad wine quality, unlike someone who would go crazy when drunk.

So, Gong Yangyue took a small step back in the grass beside him, blocking his figure, and watched secretly.I saw the two travellers, annoyed by the long essays he had dug out from which classics, they argued angrily: "We are scolding the heinous martial arts scum, you scholar, why not mind your own business!"

"Why do you scold him? You don't understand him at all!" Chao Chen beat his heart, hoarse, "You don't understand what he has suffered and what he is carrying. Well, that's the stench. Have you seen him? Have you ever spoken to him? Just for a little bullshit reputation, he rushed out to stand in line and yelled, what is killing harm for the people, what is punishing evil and promoting good, I can't wait to cut people into pieces , that is a real person—”

At the end, his voice was almost hoarse, and Chao Chen covered his face with his hands, not knowing whether he was blaming the person in front of him, or using the alcohol and the situation to blame his former self.

After standing silent for a long time, Gong Yangyue could tell from the words that the martial arts scum was referring to herself.
