Haiyan

The night wind blows sand and dust, covering a mist over the northern capital at this moment, and the torch burns a huge hole in the gloom of deep sorrow. It seems that something almost invisible is gradually invading inside, mixed with summer The humid and warm night wind cannot be melted away.

When Chang Sheng came out of Ning Yan's tent, he happened to run into Yin Ping who had been waiting for him at the door. He was still wearing the clothes he wore today to receive envoys from the Western Han Dynasty, and the knives on both sides of his waist made Xin Chang's figure even taller. stand up.

Mrs. Ru paused for a moment, the gray hair at the temples was blown slightly by the night wind, the creases on the dry and dark skin looked extremely desolate, she looked at the child who had been silent since he came out, I wanted to say something, but finally stopped talking.

"Madam, go in and take care of your mother. I'll send Ayu back." Yin Ping strode up to hold Chang Sheng's hand, without any fluctuation in his tone.

"Then there will be the Second Prince Lao." The old man turned around and entered the tent.

The moment the sheepskin curtain fell, the child who had been silent all the time raised his head suddenly, his eyes were shining brighter than the stars, and then he opened his mouth wide and yawned, and stretched his waist by the way.

Yin Ping sighed silently, the words of the lesson just now were probably taken as deaf ears again.

Although Li Su said that Chang Sheng injured his arm and blew up the tent, he did not mention to anyone that Chang Sheng did all of this. Or when Li Su came to visit Ning Yan in the afternoon, a servant accidentally mentioned So in the middle of the night, Ning Yan hurriedly called her monkey cub third son over to educate him, but this child was very well-behaved every time he listened to the training, which made Ning Yan really feel distressed. He couldn't bear to say anything more, but as soon as he left his sight, he became a cocky bastard again.

The crown prince Yin Kang loves Chang Sheng the most, and he is more used to his younger brother than Maharaja and Ning Yan. In the past, Philadelphia was full of plum blossoms in winter. Chang Sheng casually asked how many plum blossoms there are in the city. His Highness then ordered people to go to count immediately, but it was not enough after counting, and he picked all the plum blossoms and gave them to Chang Sheng, but Chang Sheng praised them all because he didn't like it.

Things like this kind of over-indulgence abound. Chang Sheng's very playful temperament is more or less inseparable from Yin Kang, so now that Yin Kang is gone, Chang Sheng feels that half of his heart is with his elder brother. gone.

Yin Ping is not as spoiled by Chang Sheng as Yin Kang is, and he has to be trained, but Chang Sheng is a person who is very good at pretending. Whenever he feels that the atmosphere is not right, he can immediately put on the most aggrieved expression in the world. Yin Ping couldn't bear to speak anymore.

"What have you learned from that bull-nosed man?"

On the way back, Chang Sheng saw that he didn't speak, so he had to find a topic for himself to ask him.

Yin Ping didn't answer him, but asked: "Did you blow up the Proton's tent?"

Chang Sheng shook his head, and said very calmly: "Of course not!"

Yin Ping smiled and said: "Don't make excuses, I've heard people say it, but luckily that protégé didn't betray you in front of his parents, otherwise they won't deal with you later, and General Gu won't let you go Help the cub."

Chang Sheng stopped in his tracks, his big eyes fluttered, and he pursed his lips and said, "I really didn't let someone blow it up!"

Yin Ping almost believed it.

Unexpectedly, the child immediately said, "I blew it up myself."

Yin Ping: "..."

"Forget about today's matter. Anyway, the Western Han Dynasty is not going to pursue it. If you trouble that kid again in the future, can you find some other way? If you kill him, do you think our emperor uncle will Let father go!"

"Besides, even if you don't want to see him anymore, you can't let him be teased by you like this on the first day, if..."

Before he finished speaking, Chang Sheng closed his eyes and softened his body, and fell straight into Yin Ping's arms.

Startled by the sudden force, Yin Ping looked down and saw that Chang Sheng had already fallen into a deep sleep. He was stunned for a while, then let out a low sigh, and helplessly picked him up and sent him to the tent.

It was already very late at night, and at this moment, in an extremely luxurious new tent, Li Su was lying pale on a bed covered in brocade and cloud satin. A thick black medicine bowl was handed over, and he said softly, "Second Lord, it's time to drink the medicine."

Li Su's beautiful eyebrows were tightly frowned, and when he opened his eyes, his stomach twitched again, and he jumped off the bed and rushed out.

This was Li Su's first night in the Yebei Grassland. It wasn't until dawn that the young man kicked the eight-treasure glazed incense table placed on the blanket with black eyes and limp body. He gritted his teeth and said, "Stinky boy!" !"

****

The sky is as blue as a lake, reflecting the endless grassland. It is quiet and beautiful like an oil painting carefully decorated by the master. Fenglan Mountain, fifty miles outside the capital city, stands on the Canglan River. The mountains are rolling and surging. Absolutely, very torrential, in summer, the river water hits the foot of the mountain, and the splashing waves are as high as a person.

A loud "boom" sounded suddenly from the depths of Fenglan Mountain. While the green pines and cypresses on both sides of the mountain shook and swayed, hundreds of birds scattered and flapped their wings in an instant.

"Brother Changsheng, I didn't expect this gunpowder to be so powerful. No wonder that such a small amount could blow up that proton's tent in an instant."

A few brats chattered around the boy in the middle who was dressed in white and long coat. Chang Sheng was holding four marbles in his hands. The marbles were filled with gunpowder, and he just used one to blow up the foot of the mountain. , now standing next to the finely crushed stone chips, all the children looked at the remains after the explosion very curiously.

It is rare for Chang Sheng to be dressed so plainly, with only a goose yellow ice silk vest over the moon-white cloud-patterned gesand, and a pair of light blue long-tube embroidered shoes with tiger patterns on his feet, which have been splashed with mud and are a little dirty. At that time, Ning Yan specially asked his servant to rebraid his full head of small braids, and now he was sitting neatly on the stone beside him, silent.

Xiao Wu picked up a transparent stone that was blown apart by gunpowder and ran over, happily said: "Changsheng, what do you think I picked up? Jade! Look, it should be worth a lot of money."

Chang Sheng saw Xiao Wu's flushed face with two snot marks on his face forever, he smiled perfunctorily and didn't speak.

Xiao Wu felt that Chang Sheng was a little sullen since he came out today, so he asked alertly: "Chang Sheng, what's the matter with you, you haven't spoken all day?"

Changsheng sighed like a dog, stretched out his hand and shook the bell on his waist, and said: "I haven't gone out to play for several days, so I feel very boring."

The doubts on Xiao Wu's face flashed, and he said impromptuly: "Then let's go archery and I'll make a target for you, or go to Philadelphia to gamble, and I'll give you a trick to help you export the fifty dollars you sent last time." If Jin Zhu wins back, if you think it’s not good, let’s go..."

"You don't have any other good ideas?!" Chang Sheng curled his lips in displeasure.

Xiao Wu scratched his head and said sullenly: "Then what do you want to do?" Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Changsheng, I heard that there are many barbarian dancers in the pavilion in Yuncheng. At this time, you can peek at them taking a bath."

With a crisp sound, Xiao Wu covered the back of his head and said aggrievedly, "Why did you hit me again?"

"Why do you keep thinking about such disgusting things in your mind every day!" Chang Sheng stood up from the rock in disgust, patted the dust on the hem of his clothes, and said lightly: "Forget it, you guys are playing here." Well, I'm going back."

Xiao Wu said: "It's not interesting for you to go back at this time, why don't we go swimming in the river together?"

Chang Sheng said with disgust: "Whoever wants to go swimming with you, the river will be full of mud crumbs that you haven't bathed for days..." As he spoke, he couldn't help shivering disgustingly.

"Then, what's the matter..." Xiao Wu really had no choice.

Chang Sheng didn't turn his head back and said: "I heard that the proton drank the laxative I put in the cup last time, and he had a diarrhea all night, and his health has recovered in the past few days. I will go to him this time to settle the debt." Calculate."

The little figure gradually drifted away, Xiao Wu pouted immediately, quickly put the very rare jade in his hand into his arms, and then walked towards the little partner behind.

When Chang Sheng returned to the northern capital, Yin Ping was attending a class in Zhang Daochang's tent. Chang Sheng looked down on that Niubi from the bottom of his heart, and he still thinks he is a prodigal son who cheats on food and drink. It's just that his father and elder brother haven't seen through it now. One day when they learned the truth, that Daoist Zhang would definitely end badly.

Thinking of this, Chang Sheng couldn't help feeling a little better after being depressed all day long, but he still felt unhappy, and he couldn't say exactly why.

When passing through Jiangbanpo, I happened to see a bright blue figure standing with his back, looking at him in Han Chinese attire, no need to guess Chang Sheng to know who it was—it was really an embarrassment for Lu Niao to be born at an untimely time.

"Yo Yo Yo, who do I think it is? What a coincidence, it turns out to be the proton." Chang Sheng jumped from the slope to Li Su in front of him.

As if he didn't expect anyone to come, the moment Li Su saw the child, he was taken aback for a moment, then quickly suppressed the anger in his heart, turned his head and left.

"Hey, I've seen you all, and you left without saying hello to me. Are all your sons and brothers in the Han Dynasty so rude?"

Li Su said calmly, "What do you want?"

Shaking the braids all over his head, Chang Sheng said triumphantly, "What can I do? Naturally, I'm asking you for a debt."

Li Su snorted and said with a smile: "You want to pay? Do you want to settle with me for blowing up my tent last time and then pouring laxatives into my water?"

Chang Sheng curled his lips and said: "Forget about it, my lord prince has a lot, so I don't care about these two things with you, let's first settle the account of you destroying my batch of base nubs."

Li Su was originally a few years older than Chang Sheng, and he was even a head taller than him. At this moment, the disparity in the strength of the enemy and us is so great, and I don't know who gave him such a thick skin, and dared to speak so arrogantly in front of Li Su. .

"You really don't know how to live!" Li Su finished with a sneer, as if he didn't want to pay attention to him. This kind of wild boy with no hair on his head is not worthy of making him angry.

"It's not up to you whether you live or die, Li Su, how are you going to pay me for those things!"

Li Su said: "It's all ruined, what can you do? If you really want to settle accounts, you blow up my tent and give me laxatives, shouldn't I lock you in a dark room and repair it? If you don't know how to advance or retreat, you will be punished sooner or later." People were killed!"
