How many buildings are in the mist

In mid-November, Feng Zizhang returned to Jiankang.The love Feng Zihuan gave her has always been unique, and she doesn't have to come to see him immediately when she returns to Beijing, she can go home to rest first, and come back the next day.She immediately went back to the mansion and set up a small mourning hall in the mansion to pay homage to Zhezhu.

Zhezhu had been buried long ago, but she still wanted to pay a new memorial ceremony at the mansion to show her heart.She ordered Huiyu, who was staying at the mansion, to take out the things left by Zhezhu, put them in a box, and transport them back to Nankang to be buried with Zhezhu's body in the next day.She took out Zhezhu's double knives, kept one for herself, and gave the other to Huiyu as a souvenir.Huiyu and Feng Zizhang stood in front of Zhe Zhuling, sighed and said softly: "In the past, Zhe Zhu always said that she must take His Highness back to her hometown to see."

"Yes, I will go one day, but it's a pity that she can't go with me."

Even though Huiyu had cried once when she received the news, she was still crying at this moment. She tried hard to control her breathing, and forced a cry with a smile: "Then when your Highness goes down, it will be much quieter. After all , Zhezhu is the most...noisy..."

She wept bitterly anyway, and covered her face with her handkerchief.Feng Zizhang turned around and hugged her lightly.Huiyu is slightly older than Zhezhu. They grew up together, played together, served the quiet and friendly Feng Zizhang together, and bickered together.Huiyu is an orphan among the exiles in the north. After being rescued by Feng Zizhang and brought into her own house, for so many years, she only felt that Feng Zizhang and Zhezhu were her only relatives.When she met Feng Zizhang, Feng Zizhang was only 98 years old, she was 13 years old, and when Zhezhu came the next year, she was only ten years old.

Is it master and servant?yes.But not just master and servant.

The two mourned once, and Feng Zizhang ordered the spirit seat to be kept here, so that Zhezhu can be paid homage to Zhezhu every year and the [-]th day of the lunar new year.Huiyu told her about the big and small things in the house, as well as the big and small things that happened in Jiankang in the past few months.

"So no one suspects that I'm not here?" Feng Zizhang asked.

"Yes, but our family has always been like this. The reputation of being cold-tempered has long been spread, and it is nothing special to thank guests behind closed doors. It's just that when the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, I guess it may not be possible to hide it. It's His Majesty's will, so I changed the wording. Your Highness..."

"Ok?"

"That, that, um—"

"what?"

"Thank you, City Lord, right? Is she coming to Jiankang?"

Feng Zizhang thought that he had only mentioned it in the letter, why Huiyu's expression seemed to ask him when he and Xie Yan got married-how did he guess it?Unexpectedly, when Huiyu saw her master's slight pause, she knew it in her heart, her eyebrows were raised, her eyes were wide open. "She's coming, maybe in the next year, and I'll just write to her depending on the situation."

"Really?"

This time it was Feng Zizhang's turn to raise his eyebrows in doubt.

"She is going to be my internal history, what do you think? What are you thinking?"

Seeing Huiyu's expression of satisfaction and yearning, she felt shyness and embarrassment and yearning several times stronger than Huiyu's.Originally, I wanted to write a letter to Xie Yan, but I thought that I would have to go to the palace the next day, so it would be better to write it together in one letter.For a moment, she wondered if Xie Yan would be angry if she didn't send a special letter to Xie Yan saying that I miss you, but wrote all these things in a letter; then she realized, no, she won't.

Feng Zizhang is so smart, but unfortunately he didn't know that his own thinking would really move Xie Yan.

The next day, when I went to the palace to face the saint, I went to the hall, but Feng Zihuan was the only one sitting there.

"Come on, sit down, it's back."

"Don't you see General Zhonglang?" She sat down at the place closest to Feng Zihuan.

"You want to see her?"

"No, I heard that Mrs. Cui is the first-class attendant by my sister's side. I thought I would meet her when I came here; Shangsi, but I'm in a hurry. These days have passed, and I'm curious what kind of person she is."

"She was at the Yulin camp this morning, and then patrolled, and she will come back later. If you stay for dinner, you will naturally meet her."

"Ah? Do you still let her watch others eat?"

Feng Zihuan glanced at her, knowing that she was joking: "Is this the kind of person I am? Of course we eat together."

"Unexpectedly, in just a few months, my sister has already had dinner with him."

Feng Zihuan was annoyed and funny when he heard that, are you playing preemptive strike for me? "It's not as good as you, and I left him in the mansion. How about it?"

"How about what?" Although Feng Zizhang didn't intend to play dumb, he just didn't want to take the initiative to answer this kind of question, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion.

"Character, talent, or appearance. I haven't seen her before, tell me about it."

Feng Zizhang replied, talent is first-class, character is first-class, martial arts and strategy of governing the city are also first-class, and appearance is bright eyes and teeth, and a face like jade.Each point is exemplified by her personal experience along the way.

As she spoke, she carefully felt her sister's subtle emotional changes so that she could choose her words carefully.After listening to Feng Zihuan, he said: "If you say that, Xie Yan really lives up to those four words."

"There's nothing wrong with it, people give it a false name, you have to, but you don't have to care about it."

Feng Zihuan laughed loudly, "That is to say, she doesn't think she is 'No. [-] in this generation'?"

Feng Zizhang decided to take the opportunity to kill a carbine, "No, in my opinion, she thinks there are many people who can compare with her, and Cui Xuanji is one of them. They grew up together, so they should understand each other."

Unexpectedly, Feng Zihuan was eager for all talents to be used by me, so he refused to accept this trick, and asked, "Did Xie Yan say that she would come to Jiankang?"

If you don't come, Feng Zihuan thought, you will never marry my sister!

"I want to come. She said that she would come to see my sister, and ask for an internal history of my palace."

Feng Zizhang thought about many ways to say this. Should she wait for Xie Yan to speak to the emperor in person, or wait for the emperor to forcibly resist the edict when he is recruited? In the end, she chose to tell Feng Zihuan first by herself and let Feng Zihuan had a mental preparation.In any case, they can modify the plan according to Feng Zihuan's reaction.

Unknowingly, maybe she followed Xie Yan's plan, or Xie Yan was recruited by her, or they finally found a comrade who could go on the road with them.

She saw that Feng Zihuan seemed to be a little bit angry—but that was the emperor after all, and she was also the elder sister who faced her own sister—she saw Feng Zihuan restrained his anger, and asked calmly: "Why do you want to be an insider?" History? According to what you said, Xie Yan is so capable that he should be a high official in the court. The history of the palace, isn't it wronged?"

"She feels that she has nothing but her family's reputation, so she should start from a small place and slowly build her merits, and work her way up little by little, so as not to be unworthy of her position."

After Feng Zizhang said this, he was prepared.Because according to the usual experience, Feng Zihuan, who is very disgusted with the aristocratic family, would not like this kind of talk, and would not even buy it at all.Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a few months, Feng Zihuan nodded after hearing this, and said seriously: "It should be so. As long as she comes to see me in person, I can agree to her request."

Feng Zizhang stared at his sister for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Feng Zihuan asked.

"It's nothing."

Who fed the ecstasy soup?

Feng Zihuan asked her again about what she had seen and heard about the aristocratic clan along the way.Because of the outbreak of the treason case, the original plan had to be interrupted. Feng Zizhang only got half of the information: "Actually, according to my opinion, many of the aristocratic clans have indeed become corrupt. Moreover, the children have bad character. The following The slaves are not much better. The good ones can benefit one side, and the evil ones can easily cause disasters. We heard a lot of news about civil and military competitions on the road, and we thought it was really clever, and the arrogance of killing these trash is also good. I just want to solve this problem completely The problem is that there needs to be a real group of people who can compete with the aristocratic clan. Otherwise, there is no way, if this family is beaten away, that family will come back."

"Xie Yan thinks so too?"

"That's right. She still guessed that Cui Xuanji came up with these ideas, didn't she?"

Feng Zihuan didn't bother to continue asking, after all, it was better to embarrass Xie Yan himself than to embarrass her with such a question. Feng Zizhang seemed to be determined to help Xie Yan, so he let his sister go, "Yeah, she was the one who came out." idea." Feng Zizhang didn't say that Cui Xuanji was influenced by Jiang Yuan and Cui Yi, but turned a corner: "Sister really trusts General Zhonglang very much."

"It's not easy to find like-minded people, let alone she can be used by me."

Feng Zizhang rolled his eyes and said, "Sister, don't you only appreciate this?"

Feng Zihuan asked suspiciously, "You mean appreciating talent?"

"ability."

"In addition to ability, I also appreciate other things. Virtue, talent, martial arts, temperament, and even beauty, they all count."

Hearing the word "beautiful", Feng Zizhang pricked up his ears like a hound.And Feng Zihuan continued to say—contrary to Feng Zizhang’s understanding of her—"You don't know, Xuan Ji is sometimes too upright, even more upright than Teacher Zhu and Cui Yi, as if he can't give in at all And give in. And she is proud of her insistence from the bottom of her heart, knowing that it may not be good, but because of her pride, she refuses to correct it even if beaten to death. I really like it, but I am really worried about her. Sooner or later, she will Stubborn and wounded."

Feng Zizhang thought in his heart that what Xie Yan said was exactly the same. "It's just that if you are stubborn, you can be loyal to your sister and carry out orders, wouldn't it be great?"

"Let's say so, but..."

Feng Zihuan stared at the air in front of him and the scenery outside the hall for a while, then said: "I don't want her to be hurt either."

Feng Zizhang looked at her, with so many thoughts in his heart, he didn't know where to start.Finally decided not to talk nonsense, just said: "Sister also loves talents so much."

"When will I not be a person who loves talents!"

The two sisters talked about their family affairs again, Feng Zihuan ordered the two imperial daughters to be called, and Fengxi decided on the spot to perform the pipa she had learned for her aunt{99}.When it was time for dinner, the four of them were having a good time, handing the lamp to pass on the meal, and Feng Zizhang was wondering if his sister would not wait for Cui Xuanji?Feng Xu said, "Mother, don't you want to wait for Cui Qing? Although it's a little later than usual, maybe something happened on the way that delayed it." Feng Zihuan said forget it, let's eat.Feng Zizhang thought about it for a while, and realized that her sister was probably planning to wait for Cui Xuanji to come back to eat alone.

Ah yo, tut tut.

Feng Xu's guess was right, Cui Xuanji had indeed encountered something.In the afternoon, she personally led a team to patrol Jiankang Street.When it was time to light the lanterns, people from Dali Temple knocked on the door of a house, but they couldn't open it no matter what.She saw that the house was just an ordinary small courtyard, with neat exterior walls, neither new nor old, and nothing suspicious, so she got off her horse and went over to ask the boys in Dali Temple what was going on and if they needed help.The officers told her that Jing Zhaoyin received several reports recently, saying that people with northern accents and who did not look like Han people often came in and out of these courtyards. Come, so they came to check.Cui Xuanji asked if there were no other clues?For example, what did these people do and who were they associated with?The guards said that there were none for the time being, but the end of the year was approaching, and they dared not let it go, "So look, my lord, we are here to knock on the door, and we dare not force our way in."

Just as he was about to ask again, the Habayashi guards who were still riding behind shouted: "My lord! Someone has escaped!" Cui Xuanji jumped onto the courtyard wall, and saw several figures fleeing eastward in the dark, over the wall and over the wall , like entering the land of no one.She immediately ordered the servants of Dali Temple to chase from the wall of the small alley to the south, and the guards of the Habayashi Army to chase from the road to the north on horseback, "Don't let it go, catch the alive!"

Suspected crimes should not be taken lightly, but if you run away when you see someone, then the suspicion of this person can be taken for granted.She chased after, lamenting that although this group of people is said to be from the north, they are really good at light work; from one roof to the other, there is no effort at all, and it is not easy for her to catch up.She raised her breath a little, and she was about to get close to the last one among the three, but she turned around as if on a horse, and nocked the arrow, whoosh!

Cui Xuanji quickly dodged, and then drew out his knife.Being able to shoot so accurately at such a short distance and such intense running must be a well-trained and even battle-hardened person.Thinking of this, she felt more and more that the other party was not kind. She used [-]% of her speed to chase closer and closer. After parrying the other party's three arrows, the other party found that there were still pursuers nearby, and fired at the horse runner downstairs. Both arrows were blocked by Cui Xuanji, and she took the opportunity to jump in front of the opponent.

The other party was taken aback, from the face, it was a man with beards, Cui Xuanji calmly swung the scabbard, caught him off guard, knocked him out with one blow, grabbed the bow and quiver, and threw the fainted man to the Habayashi guards .Turning around, I saw the other two jumping down, probably planning to fight with the servants of Dali Temple, and then escaped into the downtown area to hide.

She quickly bent her bow and set an arrow, whoosh!The man running in the middle was shot in the calf and fell down.She rushed over immediately, stood on the eaves, and saw the man who was hit by the arrow lying on the ground, unable to resist, calling a language she didn't understand.And the leading man was fighting with the Dali Temple servants.The servants had no swords, and they couldn't beat a strong man with no hands.Cui Xuanji aimed at the man's shoulder and drew his bow fully.Unexpectedly, this fast and fierce arrow was dodged by this guy.The quiver was empty, she drew her sword and jumped down.

Cui Xin taught her sword skills when she was a child, saying that although a knife is brave and fierce, it doesn't mean you have to use it fiercely.If you have the means, you can choose the method that will cause the least damage to the other party.But if the other party just wants to take your life and refuses to give up, and you don't have to worry about it, to defend yourself, you can naturally use the most vicious method.

The strong man snatched the knife from a member of the Dali Temple and slashed wildly, his eyes were bloodshot and red.After a few fights, she found that although the opponent had done a good job of defending himself, he swung a knife to block it, and it was almost airtight.But the defense of the opposite door is insufficient, as if the face does not need to be over-defensive, as long as the attack is fine, so as not to block the line of sight.

And this guy took the opportunity to glance at the fallen Dali Temple servant, Cui Xuanji thought that he probably wanted to take hostages.

Ugh.

She pumped up her energy in the dantian, swung the knife and attacked quickly, and drove faster and faster, forcing the strong man almost to be unable to resist.When the strong man came back to guard against the door in time, whoop, she slashed the opponent's eyes blind.The blind beast was caught and tied up with a rope by the guards of the Habayashi Army who came from around.

The news was sent back to the palace, and after the female officer gave an overview of the matter, the first question Feng Zihuan asked was: "Xuanji, is she injured?"

Feng Xi blatantly said that Cui Qing was highly skilled in martial arts, how could she be injured; Feng Xu smiled and said nothing; only Feng Zizhang, who had just returned, was very surprised.

The author has something to say:

{98}Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zhengshuo in the Central Plains has shifted to Jiangzuo, and wars have continued in the north. As a result, a large number of refugees who lost their homes due to the war fled to the Jiangzuo regime.These refugees had a very special and important position in the history of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

{99} is going to be called that, the author doesn't want to be entangled.It's the same last name anyway!
