Am I a scumbag?

Yan Yuliang said that if he borrowed troops, he would borrow them.

There is no reason not to borrow.He is an emperor, destined to stand tall and see the long-term from the very beginning.In the fourth year of Jinyu, Daxia himself couldn't clean up the mess, and he was also in difficulty, but facing Tang Xiujing, who knocked on the palace gate at night, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to lend a helping hand.

Why?At that time, the officials did not understand.Only Emperor Jin Yu could figure it out clearly, whether it was Yue Lu's strategic position in the south of Great Xia or Tang Xiujing's personality, this business would only make a steady profit without losing money, and he had to see the century-old plan that others couldn't see.

In the end, everything was as he expected.

All the investment that year has paid off in the future.Whether it is receiving a lot of gifts from Yuelu in return, making money through business, and now that he can come to Yuelu for free to eat and drink for free, and the convenience of asking others to send troops, there is the kindness planted at that time. because.

There is no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests, and there is between people.

The Vietnam Army assembled quickly.

Yan Yuliang could tell that King Lan disliked Yuejun a little bit, even though he tried his best to cover it up.

There is no way, as a small peninsula country, although Yuelu has had civil wars for many years and was full of blood and tears, the scale of those wars was almost nothing more than village-to-village fighting in the eyes of Daxia, which was not worth mentioning at all.

The vigor and equipment standard of the Yuelu regular army is far behind that of the experienced Green Willow Army. In King Lan's opinion, they are not even well-trained.Fortunately, the opponent is only Jiaonan, which can be regarded as barely able to lead.

Yan Yuliang: "Lan Lan, you really want to take them personally...?"

Tang Xiujing was silently looking forward to it.

As the king of Yuelu, he is extremely eager for Yuelu's army to be led by the "Great Xia God of War" once, so that the soldiers can steal a little bit of division while fully appreciating the demeanor of the God of War.

Yan Yuliang is absolutely reluctant.

He felt sorry for King Lan's body.Although his family, Lanlan, can get out of bed, but after all, her energy and blood are still weak, and it is too late for him to take good care of her every day, so why should he be tossing around again?

Zhuang Qingqu was helpless: "But Ah Zhao, think about it, if I don't personally lead the Vietnam Army, what if they really can't even beat Jiaonan?"

"Hu Xindai is only second. I am most worried about Fu Ling and Su Xu. They have served me wholeheartedly for many years, and they are like close relatives in my heart. Now they are stranded in Jiaonan, life and death are uncertain. I will never miss them. anything."

"Besides, let's bring the father of the princess's child out, and he must be sent back for a good life. Otherwise, people will come to your place every day, can you bear it?"

"Although Fuling doesn't have any relatives, friends and family, his background is extremely pitiful. He has always had ambitions, so how could he..."

"..."

Yan Yu was silent, and silently hooked Lan Wang's fingers, feeling sore in his heart.

Lanlan's light-colored pupils were full of sincerity. He really cared about those two people, and he always believed in them so much that he never had any doubts.but……

Su Xu is indeed a loyal servant of King Lan, but Fuling...

What King Lan knew about Fu Ling's life experience was not true at all.

Yan Yuliang is really a headache.I wondered against my conscience if I could just keep it from him for the rest of my life.Zhuang Qingqu had suffered enough injuries in these years, Yan Yuliang really couldn't bear to tell him more.

It's not that he's angry and blames him.He knew that King Lan would forgive him if he indulged him and loved him, but he just couldn't bear to let him be sad again, it was enough.Really reluctant.

Besides, Fuling certainly doesn't want King Lan to know...

In fact, these years, Fuling has always been very fond of King Lan.Then there is the intelligence officer, who has served beside someone like King Lan who is arrogant and rebellious on the surface but actually has Fanglan in his heart for ten years.

Now that Yan Yuliang thought about it, that was indeed the case.

Especially as an intelligence officer, Xun Chang knew that after he lost his memory, he still did some personnel work.And what about Fuling?

Obviously she has always been the closest to him and knows the most, but until he recovered his memory, he never confessed to him before.Instead, they were all focused on making him and King Lan come back together for a hundred years of good marriage.

Perhaps, it is really a bystander.

He has done enough for Daxia these years, it is time to take good care of others.In the past ten years, no one has seen it more clearly than Fuling.

……

Jiaonan, in the dark woods.

Wave after wave of chasing soldiers, lights and horses kept going, but fortunately Su Xu and Fu Ling were experienced and good at hiding.This wave of chasing soldiers has been busy for several days but got nothing, and finally went away in resentment.

After a long time, Fuling finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you okay?"

Su Xu is not good, his body is dirty and smelly, he is exhausted and bored to death.At this moment, I can finally relax. I collapsed on the ground, grinning my teeth, turning my belly up to face the starry sky, holding back my stomach growling.

Fuling took out the dirty cornbread that had been crushed long ago from his bosom.Su Xu grabbed it and gnawed it in disgust, but cursed a lot while gnawing, and finally concluded: "I have never suffered such a crime in my life!"

His leg was injured and he walked with a limp.

Fuling supported him all the way, and the two of them tossed and tossed all night, and finally sneaked into a small town early in the morning.

The pursuers had just left in the small town, so it was considered safe, the two of them changed into clean clothes, Fuling bought medicine to treat Su Xu's injuries, and ate some decent meals.

Su Xu finally recovered from all kinds of cursing that wanted to cry but had no tears.

Thinking about their ups and downs along the way, how angry!

It was very smooth at first, and Guan Wen was transferred to Jiaonan openly and honestly, and rushed all the way to the old land of Sanmiao.Fuling can be regarded as a bit capable, and he can lead him to find the way smoothly in the endless winding forest. What's more gratifying is that although the abandoned Sanmiao old land is overgrown with weeds and moss on the statue, there are really many wild animals in the lake. Lake Xindai!

But Su Xu was overjoyed, Lord Lan was saved, this trip was not in vain!

But who would have thought that after returning home, he would be unlucky enough to encounter the Jiaonan coup. No matter how he explained that the relevant documents and money were useless, he could not help but be hunted down as a spy all the way.

At the border between Jiaonan and Yuelu, the only checkpoint is still guarded by layers of guards. He tried to sneak in at night and break through, not only failed, but also accidentally sprained his leg.

Sprains can kill you.Originally, he relied on his high martial arts skills to protect Fuling, but it turned out that he limped all the way and hid in Tibet, relying on Fuling to rescue him everywhere.There was an interrogation two days ago, and because of his broken leg, Fuling couldn't hide in the end.The two were arrested together and thrown into the dirty and smelly prison, and it was thanks to Fuling who happened to know an old chief jailer.

The two were released secretly during the starry night.

This trip is not easy!

Su Xu: "But that uncle is really interesting, thanks to him giving us money and horses. I, Su, know how to repay him, and I will definitely thank him with a lot of money in the future! By the way, what is the relationship between him and you? Why did you return later? Cried?"

Fu Ling lowered his eyes and smiled slightly.

"That's an uncle who lived in the neighbor's house when I was young. I probably haven't seen him for many years, so let me post it because of my feelings."

Su Xu: "You, the uncle next door, really miss the old days!"

Ok.

Fu Ling ate with lowered eyes.Both of them ordered glutinous rice balls, the candied hawthorn stuffing was sweet and delicious, he savored it carefully.

"Master Su, what do you see me doing?"

"Eat quickly, you have to leave quickly after eating, we are unfamiliar here, if the pursuers come back, I'm afraid it will be easy to be reported. Also, since the checkpoints leading to Yuelu and Daxia are all locked, It's useless to push hard, I have a plan that can be twisted and turned around, and I will tell Master Su after dinner."

"Oh? What's your plan?"

"Eat first."

Su Xu was helpless, quickly lowered her head, and ate seriously, wheezing.

In my heart, I wanted to praise Fu Ling a little bit, I wanted to say that you, eunuch, father-in-law, are really good.On weekdays, she made the bed and folded the quilt every day in the palace, but she couldn't tell. This journey was adaptable, calm, and there were so many ghost ideas!No wonder Lord Lan has always been very fond of it.

He really deserved to be Emperor Gou's man.Insidious and cunning in the same strain as Emperor Gou, smooth and well-organized in everything.

Of course, saying this doesn't sound like a compliment, so Su Xu refrained from saying it in the end.

What he didn't know was what Fuling, who was silently eating glutinous rice balls in front of him, had actually experienced in the past few days.It would never have occurred to him that even the tumultuous "Emperor Gou" did not fully understand Fuling's real life experience.

Fuling's life experience recorded in the palace was a poor man on the southern border of Daxia. His family died of starvation due to floods more than ten years ago, and he was poor and had no choice but to enter the palace.

But Yan Yuliang found out back then that Fuling and his elder brother Liao Xi were old acquaintances of Xuci.Although the two insisted that they were only people from southern Xinjiang who lived near Sanmiao, Yan Yuliang almost believed that they were survivors of Sanmiao.

But actually...

Fu Ling lowered his eyes, he is San Miao, but he is not.

Liao Xi is not even his elder brother.

……

He is not from southern Xinjiang, nor is he from Sanmiao. His hometown is at the farther south of Jiaonan, which was once full of golden temples and silver pagodas.

He is one of the many sons of the Golden Crow King, and Liao Xi is his personal male slave.Liao Xi was very submissive, and whenever she saw him, she knelt down and kissed the back of his feet, calling him "little master".

It has been nearly 20 years since the Golden Crow Kingdom was destroyed.

When it was still alive, it was once a beautiful and fertile place with countless beautiful sculptures and pagodas.Everyone in Jinwu was barefoot, but all of them wore heavy gold on their wrists and ankles. He was less than ten years old at that time, and he was wearing gold and silver all day long, running around happily and carefree.

Jinwu is small and rich in domestic gold, and Jiaonan in the north is becoming stronger and stronger, and it is very coveted.

When the accident happened, the young Fu Ling was unprepared.That day was supposed to be a joyous celebration in the clan, and he and his clan were dancing happily.

His servant, Liao Xi, is very bored.He was already 14 years old, and the beautiful girl in the clan offered to invite him to dance, but he blushed and said no, and was constantly laughed at by the people around him.

As his little master, Xiao Fuling naturally couldn't avoid being teased by his elder brother, so he bulged his cheeks and bent his hips to drag Liao Xi over, stepped on Liao Xi's instep with his bare feet, and the bells jingled on his ankles.

Liao Xi was at a loss, and looked even more dazed for a while.Fuling laughed innocently and louder than a bell.

He said no, you are not allowed to run, you are my servant and you must be obedient, I ordered you to take me to the end of today's dance.Jump, jump, jump!

Liao Xi: "Little Master..."

But in the end, they couldn't finish the dance.The Jiaonan army rushed in suddenly, and the golden celebration turned into the black and red blood and fire that I can't bear to look back on in my memory.

Burning, murdering, looting, the Jiaonan army did all kinds of evil, looting all the gold and silver pagodas in the capital, and burning them down.

When Fuling was young, she was as beautiful as a little girl.Such a beautiful appearance brought him disaster.

Those Jiaonan soldiers were inferior to animals, and they didn't even spare children.In his frantic struggle and terrified eyes full of tears, he saw Liao Xi desperately rushing to save him, but was stabbed and chopped down by knives in all directions, and blood flowed like a river right in front of him.

There were so many Jiaonan soldiers around, each with distorted faces and laughing wildly.

Fu Ling never thought that he could wake up again.

When I woke up, I was already in Sanmiao, surrounded by the sound of mother and concubine sobbing.

There was a great chaos at that time, his father and emperor were killed, and his mother and concubine took advantage of the chaos to escape with a small number of servants.After the massacre and looting by the Jiaonan army, she sneaked back and searched for the survivors from the pile of corpses and blood, and rescued her son and Liao Xi who were only breathing.

Within two days, they ran into the head of the Sanmiao clan who came to "pick up leaks" while running around.

Fortunately, the Sanmiao people are not as inhuman as the Jiaonan soldiers. The head of the Sanmiao tribe was shocked by the beauty of the princess and promised to do his best to treat her injuries, so he took her back to the Sanmiao tribe with some Jinwu remnants.

During the period of treatment, Fuling was in extreme pain, like falling into an abyss.

Those imprints hurt his body so badly that he couldn't recall the pain. In addition to insulting him, those people completely destroyed his body... The severe pain made him lose all hope and wanted to die several times.

But after all, he couldn't let go of his mother and concubine, fearing that she would be alone and helpless.

Besides, the only consolation is that Liao Xi managed to survive even though he was stabbed more than twenty times in his body.

During the days when he experienced the deepest pain, Liao Xi was also seriously injured, but she held his hand and stayed with him day and night, calling him "little master" over and over again, singing The nocturne of the Golden Crow country coaxes him.

Later, he finally gritted his teeth and survived.

He has lived peacefully in Sanmiao for three years. Because the patriarch loves his mother very much, Aiwujiwu treats him well, and the whole clan dare not treat him disrespectfully. Although his status in Sanmiao is neither awkward nor embarrassing, his status can barely be considered decent OK.

The preface was born to the wife of the head of the Sanmiao clan.

His mother and concubine have been out of favor since she was young, and she was depressed, which caused him to resent Fuling, the "son of a vixen".Whenever the clan met, he would laugh at Fuling's incompleteness, saying that he was a cripple who was neither male nor female.

Liao Xi beat him hard every time.

If an ordinary slave dared to hit his master, he would have died countless times.Fortunately, the patriarch of Sanmiao doted on Fuling's mother and concubine, and never dared to touch her clan easily, so Liao Xi was able to save his life.But capital crimes can be avoided and life crimes cannot escape. Every time he fights with Xu Ci, Liao Xi will be punished to kneel under the giant tree in the clan, and will be whipped to the point where he is bruised all over.

But next time, if he dared to say the preface, he would still dare to rush forward.

Sworn to defend his little master.

For three whole years like this, Fuling and Xuci had troubles every day.But no one thought that Zhuang Xinhuo's army slaughtered the three seedlings in one fell swoop, just as suddenly as Jiaonan slaughtered the Golden Crow Kingdom.

It was also the Sanmiao celebration that day, and everyone in the clan was very happy.

The catastrophe of extinction did not show any signs at all, and it was caught off guard.

In the midst of fire, blood and chaos, he was ruthlessly chased by cavalry blades in the woods at night.There are so many people in the Sanmiao family, and there are only a few who managed to escape.On the way, everyone didn't care about who was who, and kept supporting each other. Fuling was rescued by Xu Ci, and Xu Ci was given wound medicine. Liao Xi went to recite Xu Ci again...

After half a month.

They went back together and buried the remains of their loved ones with tears in their eyes.

Xuci cried and fainted several times, it was the man named Zhuang Xinhuo who killed his parents and sisters in front of his eyes.He hated him so much that he would never forget it all his life.

Fu Ling was at a loss, he didn't even know who to hate.

His father and royal clan were killed by Jiaonan, while his mother and concubine were killed by the Zhuang family.The irony is that Zhuang Xinhuo led troops to beat Jiaonan violently last year. When his mother and concubine heard about this, she even prayed for Zhuang Xinhuo with tears in her eyes, thanking him for avenging the Jinwu people.

Who should he hate.

No amount of hatred, grievances.In the end, a small country with few people is weak and powerless, and no one cares about crying blood and mourning, and is extremely powerless.

King Sanmiao coaxed his mother and concubine, and said more than once that one day Sanmiao would grow up, and he would kill King Jiaonan to avenge her.

His mother and concubine could only smile wryly, no one knew that this was just a consolation, Sanmiao was only a tiny place compared to Jiaonan, how could it be possible in their lifetime?In those few years, there were often exiled Jinwu exiles who tried to assassinate the King of Jiaonan with deep hatred, but it was a pity that every time they just hit a stone with an egg, how could they beat it.

But now Xuci is full of hatred and vows to kill Zhuang Xinhuo.Fuling looked at him, just like looking at his own people back then, feeling extremely sad.

Yes, he wants revenge.But you must know that the three seedlings were wiped out, and those who came from Daxia were not even regular troops. Zhuang's private army came as soon as they said it, and it was wiped out as soon as it was said to be wiped out.Sanmiao is smaller than the Golden Crow Kingdom, but Daxia is much larger than Jiaonanyuan.

But Fuling couldn't persuade Xuci, and couldn't bear to persuade him, and finally came to Huadu with Liao Xi.

The incomplete body made it easier for Fu Ling to enter the palace smoothly and became the little eunuch in the palace of Concubine Yu Yuan.And because she was good-looking and smart, she was valued by Concubine Yu Yuan, and was often used to spread news between Zhuang's mansion, and she was also quite trusted by Zhuang Xinhuo.

Xu Ci entered Zhuang Mansion, while Liao Xi entered Tantai Mansion.The revenge plan seems to be proceeding in an orderly manner.

But Fuling was always at a loss.Even later when he was threatened by the second prince with the details of his wealth, he didn't feel very angry.

He had already lost his home, his relatives, and his future.Pushing the boat along the way and agreeing to revenge for Bang Xuci is just to give himself a reason to continue living.

More tribulations, more despair, whatever, whatever.

At that time, he was already such a walking dead.Under the deep darkness of the Xuanming Dynasty, she was secretly sent by the second prince to do this and that again and again.At first, I didn't understand why some people still refused to give up after the world was like this, and they still wanted to turn the tide and clean up the mess.

Later, I gradually felt that it is indeed good to have a big country.

No matter how painful and chaotic, poor and dark, there is always the possibility of turning around.Unlike Jinwu and Sanmiao, they are gone after being killed.no more.

When Fuling was young, there was always a legend in the Golden Crow Country, saying that there used to be a great hero in their golden country who drove a golden boat across the seven seas for a tour.The legend makes people yearn for him, and Liao Xi also made an appointment with him early on. When he grows up, he will also take a golden boat to accompany the little master to travel around the world.

But when he grew up, he knew that those were just legends.

Such a ship would not be able to be built even with the efforts of all the people of the Golden Crow.There are bound to be some miracles in this world, and it is difficult for a small country with few people to achieve them.On the contrary, maybe in his lifetime, Daxia will build a big ship and send envoys to cruise the seven seas.How enviable it should be.

Yan Yuliang: "But Fuling, you are also from Daxia now."

Fu Ling was stunned.

"In the future, there will be such a ship. If you want, you will be on it, and go south to Qihai to spread the prestige of the Great Xia. At that time, I will be your backer, and you will never be bullied and homeless again."

"Fu Ling, do you want to have such a day?"

"..."

Later, Xuci died.

Emperor Jin Yu did not implicate him and Liao Xi, and still trusted him.Fuling also kept this trust in mind and worked hard.Many times, Emperor Jinyu wanted to reward him and asked him what he wanted, and he said that his subordinates wanted that boat.

Yan Yuliang: "I will definitely give it, and owe it first."

Fu Ling nodded, and later the third prince had an accident, and the imperial concubine Yu Yuan passed away, and he was selected by Zhuang Xinhuo to work in the Zhuang family.And because Liao Xi was serving at Tantai's house, the two could hardly communicate and meet each other in order to hide their eyes and ears.

In fact, he has always missed Liao Xi very much.

Thinking of the days when he was by my side, thinking of the lullaby in my ears, thinking of so many whispers and stories together, but out of helplessness, I could only bear it.

Afterwards the entire Tantai Clan was wiped out, and only waiting for the party feathers to be caught, Fu Ling was secretly very happy, he and Liao Xi finally no longer had to avoid that suspicion, and maybe he could ask His Majesty to transfer Liao Xi to the Zhuang Mansion as a guard.

Finally meeting again, he was worried that Liao Xi would be worried about the Zhuang family's massacre of the three seedlings, so he kept telling him that the young master of the Zhuang family was actually very good, completely different from Zhuang Xinhuo.

Liao Xi lowered her eyes: "Yes, I have met him, he is very good."

"Little master, now finally, he can see a little bit of his lively appearance again."

Fuling didn't understand at that time.

Liao Xi: "Little master...don't forget Liao Xi."

Liao Xi went away with Tantai Hong to a foreign country without leaving a word.After Fuling heard the news that day, his tears fell so badly that he couldn't hold back his tears. Yan Yuliang has been used to seeing him squint and fake smiles all these years, and he never knew he would cry like that, too. panicked.

He said sorry for causing your brothers to be separated.

But in my heart I was also helpless, this Liao Xi only said that I don't know when I will return, Your Majesty, please give the best to Fuling.He also said that his younger brother is very strong and won't be too uncomfortable, but in the end he cried like his wife died. How could it be "not too uncomfortable"?

After Fuling cried, the days continued.

He made the emperor promise that he would give him that boat one day.

As soon as Daxia returns to prosperity, he will go to pick up Liao Xi, and maybe pick up the young master of the Tantai family together.Then go to promote the prestige of Daxia together.

Later, the big ship was being built, King Lan went to inspect the progress of the construction several times, and Fu Ling was ordered to accompany him.

Zhuang Qingqu: "Hmph."

"It's probably because of my teacher last time, that he said he wanted a boat with a deck that could run horses! Ah Zhao spoiled him too much, and Ku Yin was in a tight spot all day long, and he still allowed him to mess around like this."

Fuling: "..."

But it was actually his ship.

For so many years, he has been by King Lan's side.On the one hand, the emperor's intelligence officer, and on the other hand, Lanzhu's Fuling.Gradually, even the feeling of guilt disappeared, and instead he became like Lan Wang's old father. Every day he watched the two of them quarreling again and worried, and sincerely hoped that the two of them could connect with each other as soon as possible.

But he also knows that there is always a lot of helplessness in life, just like him and Liao Xi, there are still many things that cannot be said in time.

Fortunately, he stood in the bright summer and believed that there was still hope for everything.

I also gradually became clear about the future I want to pursue.

After eating with Su Xu, he left the town and headed south.After walking for a while, Su Xu said, "Hey, what's the matter with you? You didn't cry when you entered the prison, why are you crying secretly all the way? You're acting like a bitch."

"Don't worry, as long as you don't rebel again in the future, I promise to pretend not to notice and not expose you to my master!"

Fuling laughed and cried: "I will leave in the future. King Lan already knew that my future home would be on the sea."

It's just that before leaving, Hu Xindai's affairs must be done well.

He was fine, just laughing and crying because he suddenly remembered the old man who let them go in the prison.That man was a survivor of the Golden Crow Kingdom, and he was crying because he recognized him as the little prince.

But everything has been going on for so many years, and only the stories in the small storybooks will always hold grudges, revenge, and a cup to avenge old grudges.

In fact, there are more stories, but the days just go on like this.Eat day by day, reproduce, and live endlessly.The princess of the former dynasty married the prince of the current dynasty, and the criminal ministers of the former dynasty advised the new king.Some people stand in court and even fight side by side with their enemies.

The King of Jiaonan back then had long since died, and now the new dead is not the one who slaughtered the Golden Crow back then.

The former Golden Crow survivors are now living normally in Yuelu, Jiaonan and Daxia, changing their names and surnames.The former little prince also has a new life.

They are heading south at the moment, and there are many chasing soldiers burning here.Fuling's plan is that the roads from Jiaonan to Yuelu and Daxia are heavily blocked, but the borders to other small countries will not be blocked one by one.

He wants to take Su Xu to those small countries to borrow soldiers, Su Xu is completely convinced.

Fu Ling: "Behind us is the mighty Great Xia. Whether they intend to offend us or Jiaonan, I believe those small countries should know how to choose."

"Lan Wang will also send troops to attack from Yuelu. If we attack from both sides, Jiaonan will definitely be defeated."

Su Xu: "..."

"To let you make beds and make quilts in the palace all day long is really a shame."

Fuling smiled: "That's why we're going to go to sea on a big boat. I'm sure I can bring your children a lot of novelties from abroad."
