Lingnan Gang

For Su Beiqin, the winter in Lingnan is much more difficult than in the capital. Although it is not very cold, the damp water is everywhere. Even if it is not rainy, his knees still hurt a little. Now, every night, according to what Elder Wu said, he rubbed tiger bone wine for him, which made him feel better. In addition, his diet seemed to be specially ordered, and it was all delicious and rare wild animals, among which there were many nourishing products , Su Beiqin was suspicious, and asked Si'er specifically, saying that he went hunting in the mountains, so he could rest assured.Su Beiqin saw that he couldn't find anything to ask, so he had to give up.

He seldom leaves his yard now. If there is anything wrong, Qin Han and others will naturally come up to him, and the paperwork and account books that should be shown to him every day will also be brought by a special person, and the things he ordered will also be done. Some people conveyed it one by one. From this point of view, it seems that he is the village owner of this uninhabited village, but the real village owner has been teasing cats and birds all day long, not seeing people, or doing nothing in his yard. No matter how good his self-cultivation was, Bei Qin couldn't help being a little annoyed when he saw him dangling in front of him too much. He put down the book in his hand and said, "Can you settle down for a while?"

Wu Weiyang swayed for a long time, finally seeing him pay attention to himself, his round eyes suddenly lit up, he squatted down beside Su Beiqin's recliner, leaned over to look at the book in Su Beiqin's hand, ""Qi Min Yao Shu", Mr. Su is really diligent and studious, he recites the sage's words when he is in the court, and understands the people's livelihood when he is out of the court, so it seems that Mr. Su is more suitable than anyone else in the world to be the emperor."

Su Beiqin didn't respond to his shocking words, he just closed the book and said coldly: "I don't have such ambitions."

Wu Weiyang pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh? You have the world in your heart and you have talent. If you come, the world will be stable and prosperous. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Su Beiqin laughed softly, "Su doesn't understand martial arts, why, but General Wu is willing to bow down to Su and stop the Turkic horseshoes from Yanshan Mountain for Su?"

Wu Weiyang did not shut up as Su Beiqin thought, but showed a very bright smile, "Why not!"

Su Beiqin was startled, then sneered, he shook his head, and said, "That's all."

Wu Weiyang stood up a little bit, leaned in front of Su Beiqin's pale face, stared at him and said, "Mr. Su doesn't believe my sincerity?"

Su Beiqin also raised his eyes. His eyes were still as dark as the night under the warm winter sun. There was something in them that Wu Weiyang was both afraid of and excited about. He looked directly at Wu Weiyang and slowly said: "You don't understand , what I want is more than peace and prosperity in the world, I want to see much more than this, and you are the most important part of it."

Wu Weiyang heard his words fall word by word in his ears, it was obviously a warm and soft voice, but it made him tremble inexplicably. It was not fear or anything else, but an excitement that he hadn't felt for a long time. The fighting spirit that came out of his bones was only felt when he was 13 years old, in the final battle with King Ajinadur Khan. He barely suppressed the urge to move in his heart, and said with a smile: "Mr. gone."

The corners of Su Beiqin's mouth raised slightly, revealing a slightly mocking smile, "You look as if you want to pounce on me and devour me."

Wu Weiyang touched his cheek, with a pure expression on his face, "Really? I think Mr. is so good-looking that I can't help it."

While talking nonsense, he stood up again, "Oh, I'm finally relieved. I was thinking that Mr. is so impartial and selfless. I don't know how to thank him when things come to fruition. Since Mr. has what he wants, it will be easy. There are too many, sir, please don't be polite, just open your mouth."

Su Beiqin also stood up and stood opposite Wu Weiyang, with a resolute and calm expression on his face, "My lord, you must remember that what Su wants to see is peace in the world, and there is only one thing—" He paused , said in a low voice, "See the emperor I have chosen wear a crown and rule the world."

He patted Wu Weiyang on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Please don't let me down, Lord Wu." After saying that, he lazily lay back on the chair, picked up the book and read it carefully.

Wu Weiyang walked out of the courtyard and met Si'er head-on. When Si'er looked up and saw Wu Weiyang's expression, he trembled in fright and stammered, "Boss...boss!"

Wu Weiyang glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Why, do you want to find Mr. Su?"

Si'er lowered his head in fear, and said, "Well... there's a guy named Bai outside who said he was looking for Mr. Su."

Wu Weiyang waved his hand indifferently, and said: "That's Mr. Su's close friend, let him come in and treat the guests well." After saying that, he walked away unsteadily.

Si'er stood there blankly for quite a while before he came back to his senses. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and murmured, "How did Mr. Su provoke the boss..."

But as soon as he entered the courtyard, he forgot about it. He originally brought jujube tea to Su Beiqin. The weather was cold, and the jujube tea was already warm in just a few dozen steps. , He handed the jujube tea to Su Beiqin, "Sir, drink it quickly, it will be cold if you don't drink it." Seeing that Su Beiqin drank most of the tea, he was relieved and told Su Beiqin about the visitor's visit. Bei Qin said.

Su Beiqin knew it was Bai Zixia as soon as he heard it, but he didn't know how he found it here, so he said: "You bring him in first."

Si'er got what Su Beiqin wanted, so he went out, and after a cup of tea, he led Bai Zixia back to the yard.

Bai Zixia didn't wear official robes, but a very ordinary blue cotton jacket, which was much simpler than Su Beiqin's sleeves. When he saw Su Beiqin, he smiled and said, "Northern Qin, Long time no see."

Su Beiqin also stood up, took Bai Zixia into the study, and told Si'er to serve tea, and said to Bai Zixia, "Why did you find him?"

Bai Zixia said: "In the beginning I was worried about you, a good scholar, but was intercepted by the bandits to be the accountant, but last time it was too hasty, and you repeatedly told me not to act rashly, so I didn't do anything, just Two days ago, a family in the county came to sue, saying that the bandits forcibly robbed the food and finances of the family. I asked carefully, and it was indeed a good thing done by the uninhabited village. After thinking about it, I still found out the way here. I came to find you."

When Su Beiqin heard the words, he knew that the people Wu Weiyang sent down the mountain to collect grain must have been a bit arrogant, he smiled slightly, ignored the matter, and said: "If I knew you were coming, I would have done it well. It's just that there is a lack of clothing and food in the village, so I can't bring out any good things, I wonder how Brother Bai has been doing these days?"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and when Si'er served tea and left, Bai Zixia sat up straight and said seriously: "I won't go around with you anymore, what is the origin of this uninhabited village? Why did you settle here so dignifiedly?" In Six Peaks Mountain?"

Su Beiqin took a sip of tea, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Brother Bai, forgive Beiqin for not being able to tell the truth."

The expression on his face was always calm, but just a frown and drooping eyelashes prevented Bai Zixia from continuing to pursue the question. He sighed and said, "I was reckless. I think you don't have much freedom here." .”

He was about to pick up the teacup when he suddenly thought of something. He held Su Beiqin's hand anxiously and said, "What are you doing here? Are these reckless men and the village master doing something wrong to you?" attempt?"

Su Beiqin looked up at him in astonishment, "What did you say?"

Seeing Su Beiqin's expression, Bai Zixia let go of his hand in embarrassment, cleared his throat and said, "Don't blame me for speaking rudely for my brother. In fact, in the capital, there are many such things. I thought brother In a moment of urgency."

Su Beiqin naturally knew that an honest gentleman like Bai Zixia would not ask Cai Cai's words on weekdays, and it seemed that he was really worried about him, so he slipped his words. He said gently: "Of course Beiqin will not blame Brother Bai. Starting from the capital, Lingnan has always been remote and unreachable, I wonder if something happened after I left?"

Bai Zixia sighed: "After you left, the lord sent a few more people, all of whom were well-known literati and scholars, and Taifu Su also closed the door to thank guests. For a while, no one in the court dared to speak, and the prime minister was still very popular with the lord as always. Reuse, alas, it was the treacherous minister who whispered flattery in the Lord's ear that made the Lord make such a decision."

Su Beiqin was not surprised by Bai Zixia's words. Those literati Yuemo were punished because of him. The current Emperor Shunguang is suspicious and jealous, and treats some famous officials as thorns in his eyes. It is because of the extraordinary status of the two emperor teachers, coupled with their advanced age and low profile, that they have stayed until now. If not, I am afraid...

Su Beiqin tapped on the table thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "How is Master Luo?"

Bai Zixia was startled, he didn't understand what Su Beiqin meant, but he still replied: "Master Luo is very good, he is also a member of the royal family after all, His Majesty will not do anything to him."

Su Beiqin showed a smile, "That's good."

The two chatted for a while, and when Bai Zixia left, Su Beiqin said in a low voice: "Beiqin has only one sentence, I hope Brother Bai must take it to heart, No Man's Village has its own way of doing things, Brother Bai is new here, don't act rashly .”

Bai Zixia said clearly, "Brother knows."

After seeing off Bai Zixia, Su Beiqin took a look at the sky, it was already dark, he sighed, went back to the room, and when he opened the door, he saw Wu Weiyang sitting on his bed, eating with relish the candied fruit on the small table.

Seeing Su Beiqin coming in, Wu Weiyang waved his hand at him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Su, I just got the news that this year the Turks came to invade the border again."
