Song Emperor Jiangshan

"The general taught us how to read that day. I thought Luan was a good character, so I named myself Wu Luan."

Xiao Shan said: "This name is good, the mountains are stacked, and it is very majestic."

Wu Luan said, "Thank you General for your compliment."

Xiao Shan nodded, pulled away the bow that Wu Luan handed over, took a deep breath, and then drew it fully.

Xiao Shan was a little surprised when he drew the bow, he didn't expect Wu Luan to draw a hard bow.The hard bow of the Song Dynasty required a pulling force of 150 jin to draw it.Some have a long range, and they cost three hundred catties.

There are not many people who can hold a bow of 300 catties. In the [-] years of the Song Dynasty, there were only a few people who reached this record.

Xiao Shan is currently only able to barely draw a bow of three hundred catties, but he can only shoot a few times before losing his strength, and it is still difficult to use it freely.As soon as he drew the bow now, he immediately felt that this hard bow weighed at least two hundred catties.He didn't know how Wu Luan got such a hard bow, because this bow was not suitable for Wu Luan and required a lot of strength.

Xiao Shan squatted down slightly, separated his feet, and said: "You stood too straight just now, your center of gravity is not stable, you need to sink your shoulders and elbows, and exert strength on your waist."

Wu Luan nodded and watched seriously without blinking.

Xiao Shan let go after taking aim, and shot out with a whoosh, hitting the bull's-eye a hundred meters away.

Wu Luan looked at Xiao Shan with a look of admiration.

Xiao Shan handed the bow and arrow in his hand to Wu Luan, and said, "You can change to a bow with a shorter range, it should be more suitable."

Wu Luan nodded, but didn't follow suit, just took the hard bow from Xiao Shan's hand and started to practice.

Xiao Shan was watching from the side, Wu Luan was not smart, he didn't understand what Xiao Shan just said at all.Xiao Shan had to repeat it to him two or three times, and corrected his movements with his own hands, before he could understand.But he worked very hard and kept shooting arrows. After shooting, he ran to pull out the arrow stuck on the target and continued to practice.

The surroundings were quiet, the sky began to snow a little, the night was already deep, but Wu Luan's progress was still very limited.

Xiao Shan suddenly thought of Zhao Yuan, if it was Zhao Yuan, he would be able to fully understand it after just talking about it.Xiao Shan couldn't help but see Zhao Yuan's shadow, he shook his head vigorously and threw them away.

On a winter night, the empty martial arts arena was covered with a thin layer of snow. A young soldier kept drawing his bow and shooting arrows, trying to change his destiny with his own efforts.But the general beside him stood quietly, holding the epee, thinking about how to change the fate of others and even the world.

In the middle of the night, Yu Yunwen finally arrived with a large amount of winter clothes and food.When Xiao Shan saw the mule cart pulled by Yu Yunwen, he felt that he had never seen it as beautiful as it is today.

After Yu Yunwen delivered a large amount of supplies to the deputy general, he rubbed his hands and kept warming the fire, and said: "I know that there is a shortage of food here, so before Father Qin came back, I was in Xiuzhou, near Jiaxing, and ordered The winter clothes are ready, we can deliver them and leave as soon as the money arrives."

Xiao Shan laughed and patted Yu Yunwen on the shoulder, admiring in his heart: Yu Yunwen deserves to be Yu Yunwen. When I was still worrying about how to buy food and winter clothes with money, he had already done everything.

After everyone left, Yu Yunwen took off his boots and put them on the brazier to dry. The whole room was filled with foot odor.

Xiao Shan pinched his nose unabashedly, and was about to go out to breathe, but was stopped by Yu Yunwen: "My dear brother, don't hurry, I have something private to tell you!"

Xiao Shan could only come back and continue to endure the smell of his feet.

Yu Yunwen had already dried the muddy shoes, knocked off the dried soil on the brazier, and said while knocking: "Your mother asked me to bring you a message, she said that she found you a good marriage, let you Time to go back and have a look.”

Xiao Shan nodded, and said, "Okay!" Suddenly remembered something, and asked, "How much money did you earn from going to sea this time? Is it enough money to redeem the antique calligraphy and painting of King Pu'an?"

Yu Yunwen spread his hands: "I made a full ten times, but what I think is, don't rush to redeem it, use the remaining money to buy some more goods, sell them at sea again, and redeem them when I have extra money. Not too late."

Xiao Shan didn't ask anymore, there are people in the army who are in charge of money, so it's better to leave these matters to them.

The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Shan persuaded Yu Yunwen to take part in the scientific examination.He wants to change history and destiny, hoping to flap something desperately with his butterfly wings.

Xiao Shan said: "Brother, next spring, you should prepare and go to Beijing to take the exam!"

Yu Yunwen looked at Xiao Shan suspiciously, Xiao Shan said: "I'm not driving you away, it's just that it's not a bad thing to become an official earlier, Qin Hui, you won't live for too long!"

Yu Yunwen asked: "Have you heard any news?"

Xiao Shan shook his head: "No, anyway, I won't harm you. You always stay here with me, it's too embarrassing for talents. You want to be familiar with the military, and you have been here for almost half a year. It should be almost the same?"

Yu Yunwen nodded, without taking off his clothes, he fell down on Xiao Shan's bed: "That's right, Chinese New Year is coming soon, I want to go back to my hometown tomorrow to see my wife, children and father, and when spring comes next year, I will go to the capital to see it! "

Xiao Shan was also very tired, and fell down next to Yu Yunwen without taking off his clothes. Hearing the other party talk about his wife and children, he suddenly thought of that girl whom Wang Meiniang said was pretty nice whom he had never met before.

Xiao Shan thought to himself: Will there be a day like this in the future, when I return home when the Chinese New Year is approaching, and want to spend it with my wife?

Yu Yunwen bid farewell and left the next day, and has already decided to participate in next year's Spring Festival.Xiao Shan was very happy in his heart. He remembered that Yu Yunwen seemed to be in his 40s when he was admitted to Jinshi. If Yu Yunwen can go to high school now, it would be a good thing no matter whether he lives in the lower places or stays in Lin'an.

When Yu Yunwen left with his horse, Xiao Shan already knew very clearly that he was turning the direction of history little by little.

He hoped that while he was trying his best to fan the wings of the butterfly, he could also fan Zhao Yuan's fate.

During the Chinese New Year, Wang Meiniang sent someone to let Xiao Shan go home, saying that he was going on a blind date.At this time, the defense of men and women is not so exaggerated, and most women walk on the street.Moreover, there are also many unmarried men and women who will meet once after getting engaged, and they can withdraw the engagement if they are not satisfied.This time Wang Meiniang meant to let Xiao Shan go back to meet that girl during the Chinese New Year.

Although Xiao Shan had no intention of postponing the blind date, the army really couldn't leave.Because the [-] soldiers under him will not return to their hometown for the New Year, if he leaves, it will cause some bad influence.Xiao Shan didn't want to wait until he came back after a year and heard complaints from the army.

Xiao Shan wrote back to Wang Meiniang and said: "I won't be back during the Chinese New Year. Parents can come to the army as guests. As for the fiancée, you can come if you want. If you don't, I will go back to see her on the Yuan Festival and settle the matter."

The food and winter clothes have arrived, and the training is on the agenda. The five kilometers of cross-country cross-country every morning in the army is an appetizer.After I came back, I started to practice boxing, stabbing, etc., and I would come to a practical exercise every three days. In such a tense day, time passed quickly, and the Spring Festival was coming in a blink of an eye.

Because of the original [-] direct descendants, the family members were all in the army, and most of the prisoners captured later were bachelors. On New Year's Eve, Xiao Shan and the others squatted on the ground and ate the New Year's Eve dinner together, and made a jar of good wine, mixed with water every day. People took a sip and it was a celebration.

Wang Meiniang and Qin Chong didn't come over to see it. Qin Chong actually went to sea again in the cold winter. This time he planned to expand his business. It would be best if he could buy two sea ships and trade on his own.

Time passed quickly, Xiao Shan remembered that he had promised his parents that he would go back during the Shangyuan Festival, and when there were two days before the Shangyuan Festival, he would explain all the affairs in the army and give the lieutenant general .

These days there is a piece of news that surprised Xiao Shan but also made him happy, that is, Wu Luan became a team leader with fifty soldiers under his command.

Xiao Shan heard the lieutenant general mention that Wu Luan had been training very hard recently, and he also performed well in actual combat drills. When he wanted to improve him, Xiao Shan nodded in agreement.Although he has no prejudice against Wu Luan, he is still happy from the bottom of his heart to see that he can work hard and make achievements.

Because of this incident, Xiao Shan was in a good mood for several days in a row. This day was the Lantern Festival. Xiao Shan got up early in the morning, packed his clothes and dry food, and led another horse. When he was about to mount his horse and go home, suddenly a soldier To report: "General Xiao, there is a small official looking for you outside!"

Xiao Shan was taken aback, if he was caught up in something today, he would miss the appointment.

He rode his horse out of the camp. The weather was cold, and the snow in the camp had been cleared away, but there was still snow on the hillside and on both sides of the road. On the open space outside the camp, stood a short man wearing a bamboo hat.A long veil hung down from the bamboo hat, so the man's face could not be seen.

Judging from the figure alone, Xiao Shan doesn't remember that he ever knew such a person.

He pulled the horse forward and asked, "I am Xiao Shan. If you dare to ask this official's name, what can I do with Xiao?"

The man raised his head slightly, stretched out his hand, and lifted the light veil hanging from the bamboo hat. Under the veil, there were a pair of big eyes, a pointed chin, and an unfamiliar face.

That person made a blessing to Xiao Shan, Xiao Shan was taken aback for a moment, thinking how could he be a man and give a blessing to a woman?Looking at the man carefully, he could see that there were pierced ears in his earlobe, and it turned out to be a woman.

The man said in a low voice: "The concubine's name, General Xiao, should already be known. The concubine's surname is He, and the small character is Caiwei."

Xiao Shan froze there.

He did know her name. Wang Meiniang had written her letter and said it no less than a hundred times. The girl he liked was called He Caiwei.

Xiao Shan was going to see her, but he didn't expect her to come first.

Xiao Shan hurriedly bowed to her, and said: "It turns out that the young lady is here, please come in quickly!"

He Caiwei stretched out her hand, put down the light veil on the bamboo hat, and said in a low voice, "Please, sir."

Now that the other party has come, there is no need for Xiao Shan to rush back. After throwing his horse to the soldiers beside him, he walked beside He Caiwei and led her.

Xiao Shan noticed that He Caiwei came alone, and seeing how she walked, her feet were not bound.

Although there are not many women with bound feet nowadays, they are not too few. Most girls from rich and noble families will have a pair of small feet. Ordinary people don't pay much attention to them, most of them have natural feet.

Xiao Shan already knew about He Caiwei's background. Her father was an old scholar in Jiaxing. Although his family was not rich, he was a scholar.Marrying himself, the son of a businessman, a general in the central army, is considered married.

Xiao Shan privately speculated why He Caiwei appeared here, probably because she was not satisfied with the marriage, so she sneaked out to inspect the goods by herself.

Xiao Shan didn't take her to his own room, but took her to a tidy and clean room used by the army to entertain guests, and there were several personal soldiers beside her.Although the girl doesn't mind, Xiao Shan still doesn't want rumors that are unfavorable to the woman to spread when he is unmarried.

He Caiwei had already taken off her bamboo hat, looked around curiously with her eyes, and asked Xiao Shan about life in the army.

Xiao Shan looked at He Caiwei, although he was not very beautiful, but he was also Xiaojiabiyu, delicate and pleasant.

Xiao Shan said: "I was going to Jiaxing today, but I didn't expect the little lady to come. Do your parents know?"

He Caiwei shook her head and said, "I don't know, I've been sneaking out for more than ten days, and I happened to be passing by today, so I'll come and have a look if I remember."

Xiao Shan heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that he ran away from home, rather than eloping with him on purpose.

Xiao Shan said: "It's very inconvenient for the girl's family to go out alone. Xiao is going back to Jiaxing, how about sending the little lady home?"

Before He Caiwei answered, Li Huchen's voice came from outside the door: "General Xiao! Someone is looking for you outside!"

Xiao Shan thought to himself, what day is it today, why are there so many people looking for me?

He stood up and walked out the door. He Caiwei also got up and walked beside him.

It's not easy for Xiao Shan to say anything about her, because leaving her where she is would be disrespectful to the elder girl.Fortunately, He Caiwei was wearing men's clothing, which was not very eye-catching, so she could barely accept it. If it was a gorgeous girl who appeared in Xiaoshan's military camp like this, he would never dare to go with her.

Xiao Shan walked out quickly, Li Huchen and a few others followed him.

Xiao Shan asked while walking: "Who is here? Can you actually let him inform him?"

Li Huchen smiled: "The general will know if he goes out and takes a look?"

Xiao Shan laughed and scolded: "You actually started playing charades with me, it's really a day if you don't fight, and you go to the house to expose the tiles!"

While talking and laughing, he walked towards the outside of the camp.

As soon as he reached the gate of Daying, he froze.

On the dirt road outside the door, a slender man stood with his hands behind his back.There is a slight look of wind and frost on the face, but there is a faint smile on the corner of the mouth.

It was none other than Zhao Yuan! !

Xiao Shan took a step forward, not daring to reveal his identity, let alone salute him, so he could only smile at him: "Brother Zhao, why are you here?"

At this moment, Xiao Shan's heart suddenly cleared up, just like some snow on the ground, the suffocation and coldness that had been there before are gradually melting away under the sun's rays.

Zhao Yuan smiled slightly, and said: "I have something to discuss with you, I think you must be busy and don't have time to go to Xiuzhou, so I just came here in person. Besides, I also want to see how my money is spent. "

Xiao Shan immediately laughed heartily - Zhao Yuan was willing to joke with him.

Li Huchen and several others stepped forward and surrounded Zhao Yuan, asking questions.

Zhao Yuan answered one by one with a smile, his eyes suddenly fell on He Caiwei beside Xiao Shan, and asked, "This little lady is...?"
