Chapter 753 Who's New Yan Pecking Spring Mud

The matter of Ning Yi and Hong Ti not returning all night was ridiculed a few times by people who heard it in the following two days, but not much was said.

Just as every era has its customs and rules, the emotional problems that occasionally make Ning Yi feel uneasy have a natural way of dealing with them in this age.After living for a long time, Ning Yi and others have gradually been able to find the most natural way to get along.

This kind of polygamous mansion is inevitable, but in general, they get along fairly well with each other.The help of Su Tan'er, who is soft on the outside and tough on the inside, for Ning Yi is self-evident, and the importance of this family is self-evident. Everyone else sees it. In order to protect Ning Yi from throwing himself into the river, he came to Xiao Canghe during this period of time. , For various affairs in the valley, being thin makes people feel frightened.Her meticulousness and tenacity are almost another core of this family. After Xixia broke down, she came out of the weight loss during that period of time. After a period of recuperation, she regained her figure and beauty.

During this period, Yunzhu's care was indispensable to her recovery.Although the relationship between the two was not pleasant when they first met a few years ago, their friendship has been good over the years.In a sense, the two are women who live around a man. Yunzhu's concern and care for Tan'er is due to the fact that she knows her importance to Ning Yi, but Tan'er shows the air of a housewife. , but after getting along for a few years, the friendship between the families still exists after all.

Among them, Xiaochan and Jin'er were more casual.The young and immature little maid is now a 25-year-old woman. Although she has a child, her appearance has not changed much. She basically arranges the daily chores of the whole family. For Ning Yi He and Tan'er occasionally have bad living habits, and she still chatters in a low voice but relentlessly like a little maid back then. She likes to wring her fingers when arranging things, and often clenches her fists when she is anxious.Sometimes Ning Yi listened to her nagging, and couldn't help but want to reach out and pull the braids that danced on her head-the braids were gone after all.

Yuan Baoer has been wanting to have a baby recently - I've been thinking about it for a few years - but I don't know if it's because of the physical problem that I passed over or because of the author's arrangement. Although there is no problem in bed, Ning Yi did not let the woman around him Pregnancy one after another.Sometimes, Jin'er is quite frustrated, but fortunately, she has an optimistic character. She usually teaches and takes care of children, and occasionally chats with Yunzhu and several people in charge of performing and singing in Zhuji about singing and dancing. Not boring either.

Hongti, who lives in Qingmu Village most of the time, is the oldest among the crowd, and is also the most respected and liked by everyone. Tan'er will complain to her when she encounters difficulties occasionally. It is also because among the few people, the suffering she has suffered is probably the most.Hongti's character is soft and gentle. Sometimes Tan'er talks to her in a serious manner, but she is uneasy. It is also because she is not sure about complicated things, but she lives up to Tan'er's expectations, or she makes a mistake and delays things.Sometimes when she talks to Ning Yi, Ning Yi just smiles.

The 26-year-old Tan'er is just at the age of just adapting to society in later generations. She has a beautiful appearance, and after experiencing many things, she has a confident and calm temperament.But in fact, Ning Yi understands best, no matter whether he is 20 years old, 30 years old, or 40 years old, who will really face things without confusion.Children in their teens and 20s see adults handling things calmly, and think that they have become completely different people, but in fact, no matter what age, everyone is facing new things. There are many people, but they understand better, and they have no support and no way out.

And in the bottom of Tan'er's heart, she is actually facing all this in front of her with a strange and flustered mentality.

For Ning Yi, this is not necessarily the case.

I once thought of a peaceful corner, living a happy and peaceful life to finish my life, and then came over step by step and came here.Nine years of time, from warmth and indifference to swords and swords, to mountains of corpses and seas of blood, there are always places that make people sigh, whether it is accidental or inevitable, it makes people feel emotional.In all fairness, Jiangning, Hangzhou, and Bianliang are far more prosperous and fascinating places than Xiaocanghe and Qingmu Village.

Sometimes Ning Yi looked at everything in the barren and barren mountains, and sighed when he saw life and death.I don't know if there is any possibility of returning to such a world with peace of mind in the future.

Of course, the family's harmonious relationship at this time may also be attributed to the storms and obstacles that have come along the way. If there is no such tension and pressure, when everyone gets along, they will not have to wrap their arms around each other to keep warm.

Compared with other families, Ning Yi's respect for everyone and occasional guilt are naturally part of the reason.Sometimes the family would hold small gatherings or picnics on the mountainside of the Xiaocang River, and Ning Yi would occasionally talk to them about his worries and thoughts about the future when he was too tired.He also rambled on. Most of Tan'er and the others didn't understand, and they didn't necessarily care. It was just in Ning Yi's worries that everyone would naturally feel the weight. The kind of weight and pressure are not the same.They are nothing but a small family walking together in this sinister world.

The third day after arriving at Qingmu Village was the eighth day of February.Only a few days after the Jingzhe passed, the spring rain began to fall continuously. Looking down from the mountain, the entire huge valley was shrouded in a misty halo of rain. There were row upon row of houses in the north of the mountain, interspersed with large stretches of shacks. It is a row of cave dwellings. There are fields, ponds, streams, and large forests on the mountain and below the mountain. The settlement of nearly 2 people seems a little peaceful in the spring rain at this time.

Some workshops are scattered in the mountains, including gunpowder, stone chiseling, iron making, cloth weaving, oil refining, porcelain making, etc. Some factories are still lit with lights, and the big theater next to the market at the foot of the mountain is full of lights. Get ready for the evening drama.On the side of the valley where the Su family lived together, Su Tan'er was sitting under the eaves in the courtyard, weaving cloth leisurely. The old lady Su Yu sat on the chair next to her and occasionally said a few words to her. More than ten teenagers, including Xiao Qi, or children were listening. Occasionally, there were children who couldn't stand the silence and made a scene in the back.

These children are naturally the children of the Su family. Ning Yi's rebellion, and the Su family, except for Su Wending, Su Wenfang, Su Wenyu, and Su Yanping, who followed Ning Yi earlier, almost no one understands.But at this level, it doesn't matter whether they understand it or not. For nearly two years, they have been living in Qingmu Village and have been unable to go out. Coupled with the news that Ning Yi's army has broken the Xixia army, this time some people revealed that they could It means to let the children in the family follow Ning Yi's side to do things and learn - to follow Ning Yi is to rebel, but in any case, as long as the surname is Su, their nature has been determined, and there are not many choices.

Su Yu occasionally asked about Xiao Canghe, about Ning Yi, and about the family over there. Tan'er operated the loom and answered them one by one.Most of the old people just listened. In the beginning—when Tan’er was young, grandparents and grandchildren often had such a time. When Tan’er told him something, he would explain and discuss it in order to cultivate this granddaughter and hope that she would be in the future. He may become the successor of a weaving family, but by this time, he is no longer easy to understand and weigh the interests of these things that Tan Er Suo has come into contact with, so he no longer expresses his opinions.

On the other hand, a group of children next to him occasionally heard from Tan'er about the story of Xiao Canghe and the details of the defeat of the Xixia people.Only when Tan'er talked about family affairs, she opened some mouths, let her take care of the house, balance the relationship with the concubine's room, and don't let Ning Yi have too many distractions, etc.Tan'er nodded in agreement.

When Su Yu and Ning Yi met two days ago, he didn't have much to say.He couldn't understand Ning Yi's rebellion, and for Ning Yi to defeat the Western Xia army and save the people of Li, in his heart, it was also an indescribable event.He could no longer comment, so he just stayed with Ning Yi for a family dinner, and then let Ning Yi leave to "do his own thing".He didn't mention to Ning Yi what he mentioned to Tan'er about "taking care of the family".

That night, the drama "Thorn Tiger", which was adapted from Hongti's assassination of Song Xian, was performed in the big theater next to the Qingmuzhai market. , but changed the name.The heroine changed her name to Lu Qing, and Song Xian changed her name to Huang Hu.This drama mainly depicts the difficulties of Qingmu Village in those days. The Liao people were fighting grassy valleys every year. Huang Hu, the military attache of the Wu Dynasty, also came to Lvliang Mountain, saying that it was recruiting troops. , and later became a general.

Lu Qing, a heroine who grew up in Luliang Mountain, went south to Jiangning in order to avenge the villagers. On the way, she was tortured several times. She encountered a bandit and a tiger, and killed the tiger with a single sword.After arriving in Jiangning, he fell into the trap of Huang Hu, and survived nine deaths. Finally, with the help of Jiangning scholar Lu Dichen, he succeeded in revenge.

Afterwards, the heroine Lu Qing returned to Luliang Mountain, but the villagers she loved were still tormented by the overlapping of hunger and cold and the oppression of the north and the south.In order to save Luliangshan, she finally put on a blood-colored mask, turned into a blood bodhisattva, and fought for Luliangshan...

Ning Yi participated in the change of this story. In order to achieve the effect, there are also many symbolic things. Names such as Lu Qing, Huang Hu, and Lu Dichen are the drama of the talented and beautiful.As for plots like killing a tiger, it is a plot that is added to make it more enjoyable.

As a modern person who is used to watching popular movies, Ning Yi has no love for the dramas of this era, but the addition of some things greatly improves the watchability.For example, the vivid Jiangning City props, theatrical backgrounds and other objects he made Zhuji people make maximized the audience's sense of substitution. That night, the theater was full of exclamations, including those who were used to seeing Dacheng Fengyue in Bianliang City. Han Jing and others, who were watching the scene, could not take their eyes off it.Ning Yi sat there dragging his chin, scolding these bastards in his heart.

Sitting next to him, Hongti, who was also a douchebag, was also stunned, his mouth opened in amazement.For a while, I forgot that the Lu Qing woman who was dressed up by Yuan Jin'er on the stage was actually herself, and I also enjoyed watching Lu Qing woman's unwarranted tiger-killing plot.This time, all the old people from Qingmu Village came to the theater. When they saw the key points, some were sad, some were indignant, some were cheering. It can be achieved.

In the following two days, "Thorn Tiger" was performed continuously in this theater. Every time the performance came, Hongti, Tan'er, Yunzhu, Xiaochan and others would go to see it together. Their feelings about Xiaochan and others were probably "Miss Lu is amazing", and for Hongti, the real emotion may be some insinuating characters in the play, such as the dead Liang Bingfu and Fu Duanyun, every time he sees it, his eyes will be red, and then Said: "It's not really like that."

After all, Ning Yi didn't have much time to spend leisurely in Qingmu Village. In the past few days, in addition to the performances of new plays, the soldiers on both sides also held a series of martial arts competitions.Ning Yi arranged for some intelligence personnel under his command to go north-during the Black Flag Army against the Xixia people, the team led by Lu Yannian, one of the leaders of the Zhuji intelligence system, had successfully opened up a way to buy back the Wu Dynasty in the Jin Kingdom. The secret route of the captives, and since then various news came over, Jurchen began to study artillery technology, which has been completely determined earlier.

Judging from the various information collected, the Jurchen army did not gradually go downhill after the death of Agu, and until now, they have all been in a period of rapid growth.This rising dynamism is reflected in their assimilation of new technologies and continuous progress.

When the Jurchen rose and captured the Liao Kingdom Shangjing in half a day, the uninformed might think that the Jurchen had mastered the powerful siege technology.But in fact, this was not the case. The Jurchen army at that time did not even have systematic siege tactics. What supported them in capturing the fortified city was pure wildness and a fighting spirit that was not afraid of death.The siege tactics of the Jurchens have continued to improve during the process of capturing the entire Liao Kingdom and the subsequent invasion of the Wu Dynasty. Even the original siege of Taiyuan and the attack and defense of Bianliang, for them, also have the nature of military training.

After the capture of Bianliang, the Jurchen plundered a large number of craftsmen who returned to the north. Now, the Jurchen army in Yunzhong Mansion is constantly strengthening the research on various weapons of war, including firearms.In this respect, Wanyan Zonghan is indeed very talented, and there is a group of such progressive enemies. For Ning Yi, after receiving a lot of information, there is often a sense of urgency that makes the back of his head go numb.

While these messages came one after another, news of the transfer of the Jurchen army north of Yanmen Pass also came occasionally.Under the national policy of Jindi Wu Qimai's recuperation, most parts of the Jin Kingdom have resumed commerce and the flow of people, and the large-scale movement of the army cannot escape the eyes of those who care.This time, the mobilization of the Jin Kingdom's army was smooth and quiet, but in this smoothness, there was a calm and atmosphere that was enough to crush everything.

In the first half of last year, the Jurchen withdrew from Bianliang and ordered Zhang Bangchang to inherit the throne and change to the Yuan Dynasty.When the Jurchen left, Zhang Bangchang abdicated. This kind of thing caused the Jurchen to send messengers to protest, and when King Kang succeeded to the throne, the Jurchen protested again.Naturally, the Wu Dynasty would not stop the establishment of a new emperor because of the Jurchen protests, and the Jurchen did not slap and roll around or spit out any harsh words because of this.

However, in the eyes of caring people, Jurchen's cultivation and silence this year has gradually accumulated and brewed a suffocating atmosphere.Even though he was in the remote northwest mountain, thinking about this occasionally, Ning Yi never got the slightest relief.

After sending a new batch of personnel to the north, on February [-], Ning Yi and others said goodbye to Su Yu and set foot on the road back to Xiaocanghe.At this time, the spring is still not warm, and it has been nine years since Ning Yi saw this era for the first time. Saibei is hunting with flags, the Yellow River is galloping again, and Jiangnan is still a spring day when singing and dancing are peaceful.In every corner of the world, people, as always, fulfill their respective missions and face the unknown destiny.

Cloud Palace, because of the mobilization and gathering of the army, the atmosphere of the city has become chilling again, but for the Jurchen who grew up among the soldiers, there is nothing wrong with such an atmosphere.The business in the market is done as is, and the meals in the brothel and restaurants are kept open. No matter what war or what comes next, for them, it is nothing but an opportunity.

Chen Wenjun chased the child through the Lang Garden in the mansion, and saw the figure of her husband and the captain of the personal guard beside him chatting in a low voice, she walked over with the child in her arms, Wanyan Xiyin waved to the captain of the personal guard: "Be careful, go. Bar."

"Come back? How's the situation today? Are you worried?"

The maid took the cape that Wanyan Xiyin took off, and Xiyin smiled and shook her head: "It's all trivial matters, it's time to deal with it."

"How about the news from General Lou Shi?"

"Let's see what Your Majesty means, Zongfu is loyal and honest, Zongbi is short-sighted, and the Wu Dynasty is disobedient. What they think is to kill the King Kang, but how can the national war be loyal..." He said here, looked at Glancing at his wife, he hugged her and walked in, "You... you shouldn't worry about this..."

Chen Wenjun looked at him calmly and smiled helplessly: "I always have to worry about it."

"Also..." Xi Yin was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "In any case, Wu's vigor is exhausted, I waited to fight over and over again, plundered some people and things again and again, and came back, after all, I was stupid. Wenjun, the only one The only way to make the world peaceful and the people to suffer less is to wait for us to pacify the Southern Dynasty as soon as possible..."

As he spoke, he walked in with his wife, and when he crossed the threshold of the courtyard, Chen Wenjun tilted his head, and with a casual glance, the captain of the personal guard was leading a few people from the mansion and hurried out.

In the market on the side of Yunzhongfu, the man in Chinese clothing and the Jurchen head snake known as the seventh master met in a secret courtyard again. After a while: "To be honest, this time I came here, Lao Qi has something that is hard to tell."

"Oh? Seventh Master, but it doesn't matter."

"I heard that there is going to be a war, and the wind outside is tight. This time the goods are not easy to get, and the price must be increased."

"Seventh Master... I said it before, but that's not the case. Besides, where did you hear the news of the war?"

The seventh master twitched the corners of his mouth: "People, you have a pair of eyes and a pair of ears. You can always understand after watching and listening. To be honest, I haven't figured out what you guys are doing this time. This time, I don't know. I want to play in a daze, everyone..."

He spoke slowly, and a middle-aged guard behind the man in Chinese clothing leaned over slightly, frowning: "There is a fraud..."

The man's eyebrows sank, and he suddenly lifted his clothes and pulled out his knife. On the opposite side, the face of the seventh master who was still talking slowly changed, and he jumped out a zhang.

"He's stalling for time!"

"Walk--"

A few people turned around and left, the seventh master led a few people around him, and a young man beside the man in Chinese clothing who had been smiling all the time took two steps, turned around abruptly, and rushed towards the old seventh, the middle-aged guard also Jumped out at the same time.

"Black eat black is not authentic! Take him as a hostage!"

"Go first!"

The sword light came out, and someone jumped down from the side of the courtyard. A samurai next to Lao Qi was slashed to the ground by the young man, and the smell of blood filled the air. Lao Qi took a few steps back and drew his sword and shouted: "This is a good thing. not my business!"

Young Master Huafu led someone out the door, and at the opposite street, there were Jurchen soldiers besieging and killing them...

On this day, there was a small-scale chaos in the city of Yunzhongfu. A group of murderers fled in the city and fought with the patrolling soldiers. Soon after, the chaos was quelled.At the same time, on the land north of Yanmen Pass, the clean-up activities for the infiltrated Southern spies have been carried out on a large scale since this day, the border gates began to be blocked, and the atmosphere was extremely chilling.

Gushen Wanyan Xiyin was also comfortable with the many forces hidden in the darkness, and swung down a knife.

To the south, Jinan Prefecture, a new prefect named Liu Yu arrived here.Not long ago, he was hoping to find a job in Yingtian Drill Camp, and after going through the door of Zhang Gui, the servant of the Zhongshu, he got a real vacancy in the prefect of Jinan.However, there were frequent occurrences of aggressive and aggressive bandits in Shandong, and Liu Yu handed over a book to the new emperor, hoping to be reassigned to Jiangnan as an official, and he was severely reprimanded after that.But in any case, it is better to have an official than no official, so he took office again angrily.

Before long, the official will step onto the stage of history with great splendor.

Outside Yingtian Mansion, on the grassy green fields, Jun Wu was riding a horse. With the help of Lu Agui and others, he fought wits and courage with some old bureaucrats, and took out from the tiger's mouth of the military department and the household department. A batch of ordnance, supplies, and well-improved elm cannons were sent to several armies he supported.It's hard to say whether this counts as a victory, but for young people, after all, it makes people feel comfortable.This afternoon, he went outside the city to test the new hot air balloon. Although he would fail as usual, he still rode a horse and ran for a while.

The horse stopped on the hillside illuminated by the setting sun, and the city wall of Yingtian was spread out far away. Jun Wu rode on the horse and looked at the light. He felt that it was not bad to be a prince.He breathed a long sigh of relief, remembered some verses in his heart, and read it out again: "Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, a lonely city looking at Yumen Pass. Yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken..."

After all, he is a man. Sometimes, he also hopes that he can lift his sword and straddle a horse, gallop across the battlefield where the sky is full of blood and rain, and save Li people from the fire and water.But of course, at this time, there are more suitable positions for him.

He stood in this magnificent sunshine for a long time.

Go north, Yanmenguan.

The heavy city wall is ancient and majestic. In the past few years, the damage after the war with the Jurchen has not been repaired. In this cold spring day, it looks lonely and quiet, and the birds are flying from the wind. Stop on the battlements of the city, and there are long lonely roads at both ends of the city wall.

After the countdown, which is only measured in days, the hunting flags covering the sky, the endless forest of guns and knives, the iron hooves and the sound of war drums, will come here again——
