Shuoyun Feidu

Hearing the words, Beitang Rongdu couldn't help being touched, nodded and said: "...Indeed." He looked down the city, watched the army drill for a while, and said to Beitang Zunyue in a leisurely manner: "Since we are sending people to fight with the falcons Contact, then I am afraid that the other party will respond in the next few days... For such things, there must be someone with enough weight to come forward. The eldest prince Erlong died in my hands secretly. I heard that King Huzhi has a second son. Calling Bi Dan, who is quite liked by the King of the Falcons, is now staying in the south with the army, and if anyone from the Falcons wants to contact us, it should be him."

Beitang Zunyue put his right hand on his shoulder, twisted a strand of black hair around his fingertips, played with it carefully, and said nonchalantly: "Speaking of Huzhi, a few generations ago, there have been people who have married A woman who lived in a falcon." Beitang Rongdu turned his head to look at Beitang Zunyue, and said with a smile, "That's right, so speaking of it, Bi Dan and I are somewhat related... Well, I heard That was a well-known beauty in the world back then, a noble lady." Beitang Zunyue lightly smiled and said, "Beauty... well, you have always been used to lingering in the wind and the moon, leaning on the red and the green, but now you have been very busy for more than half a year. Why are you thinking about other things, now you are looser, maybe you are thinking about women?" Beitang Rongdu was slightly stunned, and then he laughed and said: "You only think about women...in broad daylight, I just heard There is a smell of vinegar, and the wind is sour." Beitang Zunyue tapped the boy's head lightly with his hand: "Bastard, it's not big or small."

After the two stood at the top of the city and talked for a while, they returned to the city. Beitang Rongdu ate something casually and stood in front of the sand table to practice the marching formation. After a while, they heard someone outside the door saying: "Report to Shaobao Lord, there is a letter from the castle." Beitang Rongdu couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, and said, "Come in."

The man entered the room and presented a letter from home respectfully. Beitang Rongdu waved him down. He opened the letter himself, took the letter paper inside, unfolded it, and read it slowly. There were lines of ink characters on it. Feng Juan is fluent, naturally it was written by Shen Hanyan himself, and most of what he wrote was nothing more than the recent situation of Beitang Jiaqi, and then briefly mentioned some things in the castle. He is just on the road now, but now Shen Hanyan has already sent someone to bring the letter from home. He watched it and laughed to himself. , I like it even more in my heart, and I want to go back to the castle sooner, so as to see my daughter. I think that the child is young and has not seen me for a long time, so he must have forgotten that I am a father.

……

In early winter, there is no shelter fort.

At noon, the sun was fine and the lily fragrance was lit in the room. It was so quiet that there was no sound. The fragrance penetrated through the pores and almost penetrated into the bones of a person, making the whole person so exhausted that he did not want to move. On the bed with a thick soft blanket, the eyelashes like crow's wings are closed together, the body is covered with a lake green brocade quilt, a few soft goose down pillows are piled on the head of the bed, a bunch of black hair is scattered on it, like a soft black aquatic plants.

There was misty light smoke from the cauldron, the light in the room was wrong, and the thin sky light fell through the gauze on the face of the person in the bed. The young man seemed to be sleeping restlessly. The aroma made my head dizzy, and Qingzhi's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled like two lying silkworms.

Shen Hanyan was in a daze, only feeling that his body was hot and hot, quite uncomfortable, and even his head was dizzy, as if he had fallen into a strange dream, he frowned hard, and finally seemed to wake up Feeling faintly conscious, he vaguely heard someone talking outside.Shen Hanyan was still lying on the couch in a trance, his mind flickering and he didn't know what to do.

There seemed to be a moment of silence, and then suddenly heard slight footsteps gradually approaching, Shen Hanyan slightly opened his eyes, in a daze, only vaguely saw a figure hidden outside the tent, separated by two layers of veil, Appears to be looking at him.Between waking and half-waking, Shen Hanyan muttered habitually and instinctively: "...Beitang?..."

His voice was too vague, the man didn't hear what he was saying clearly, he only heard a voice, and knew that he was awake, so the next moment Shen Hanyan saw the tassel-embellished scarlet gauze covered by snow-white fingers. The tip was lifted, and there was a half-inch-long nail on that finger, which looked like a water onion. It was exquisitely groomed and rounded, and it was dyed bright red with impatiens. It was very beautiful. At the same time, I heard a crisp and clear voice saying: "... …Han Yan, I just heard that you were sick when I first came here."

The dazed mind suddenly woke up, Shen Hanyan put one hand on his forehead, his face was red with sweat, his eyes were slightly squinted, as if his eyes were dazzled by the light, and he stared hard at the past for a while, Then he recognized the person who came, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed in his heart, but he still smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "It's nothing serious..."

The tent was lifted by a silver hook, and a thin wisp of pale white smoke leaked from the bronze six-pan cauldron on the ground in front of the bed. Among the curling smoke, someone stood quietly, holding a bowl in his hand, and a pair of red phoenix eyes were bright and clear, The body is slender and well-fitting, beautiful and elegant, and the clothes are also luxurious. It is Mu Qingping.Shen Hanyan sat up slowly, smiled appropriately and said, "You're here..."

Mu Qingping saw that his face was burning red, and there was a little sweat on his forehead, so she nodded and said with a smile, "Yeah." As she spoke, she looked at Shen Hanyan's expression again, and saw that he was a little sluggish, and she didn't feel concerned. Said: "Just now I heard outside that you have a cold...how did you do it?"

Shen Hanyan supported her forehead, let out a faint oh, coughed twice, and then said: "... a few days ago, I got a cold from the wind and cold, so I can't help but take care of her more, maybe it's just because of this." Mu Mu After hearing this, Qingping hurriedly asked: "Then is she okay now? After all, she is still a child, so don't be careless." Shen Hanyan nodded: "...It's all right now." Mu Qingping just now Oh' said, "She's still young, it's not good to be sick... By the way, when I came last time, I would call someone when I saw her. I don't know now, but can she already speak?"

Hearing the words, Shen Hanyan couldn't help laughing, she seemed to be laughing, and added a little strength to her voice, and said: "...now it's just winter, and she's not even a year old, so she can only be called 'Daddy. A few words like ''good', it's still a few days before I can speak..." Mu Qingping heard this, her face flushed slightly, she turned her face slightly embarrassed, and said, "I've never seen such a thing before. Little child, how do you know so much..." As he said that, he suddenly remembered that he had brought medicine in his hand, so he handed it over and said, "Well, when I came in just now, I saw that the servant was about to give it to you, so I just passed it to you. Bring it here, you can drink it soon." While taking off the lid on the bowl, he put the decoction in Shen Hanyan's hand.

In the dim light of the room, a painting on the wall was reflected, in which a young man in plain clothes and barefoot was sitting by the lotus pond, picking a white lotus. His appearance was handsome and handsome.Shen Hanyan took the bowl and drank the medicine slowly. Mu Qingping pulled a chair from the side and put it in front of the bed. She sat on it, opened the lid of the cauldron, and slowly sprinkled a handful of lily incense into it. , let the fragrance become stronger, and said: "...I heard that the boy will be back soon, is that right?" Shen Hanyan put down the medicine bowl, took out a golden hairpin from under the pillow, and simply pulled the messy black hair , looked at the picture of picking lotus on the wall, coughed a few times, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said: "... yes, I read the letter, it should be back to the castle soon." Mu Qingping He closed the cauldron cover, looked at his exquisite nails, and asked casually: "Listen to my father, seven or eight out of ten northerners have already surrendered to Unsheltered Fortress. If that's the case, will they stop fighting when they come back?  … …Speaking of which, some time ago I heard that Hunjiao slaughtered the city, and there were countless casualties.”

Shen Hanyan smiled slightly and said: "No, the south side is still very chaotic." He pondered for a while, and then said: "As for the massacre of the city... since the two armies are at war, naturally they will do everything they can." Mu Qing Hearing this, Ping covered her mouth and yawned a little, and said, "I don't understand you men's fights, it's just..."

When she said this, she paused, remembering what her father had secretly revealed earlier, the expression on her face sank slightly for a moment, her eyes looked at a cold plum branch slanting outside the window, the light shifted and the shadows moved, She couldn't help being a little dazed, Shen Hanyan saw that she seemed to be distracted, and asked softly: "... What's wrong?"

When Mu Qingping heard the words, Fang looked away, came back to his senses, forced a smile, covered it up quietly, and said, "It's nothing."

The warm room became quiet. Occasionally, there was a faint sound of wind outside, but it was very light, as if afraid of disturbing the peace of the house. Mu Qingping heard the soft sound of the wind chime hanging on the porch outside the window, It was chaotic and noisy, just like her mind, she was quiet for a while before she opened her mouth and said: "I..."

At this time, Shen Hanyan was also about to open his mouth to speak. The two of them spoke almost at the same time, and then stopped at the same time. His gaze flicked between the young man's clear face and long black hair, he shook his head and said, "...it's all right."

……

In early winter, the snow is falling.

Beitang Rongdu sat cross-legged in front of the brazier, put his hands on it to warm the fire, and a roll of military books was laid out beside him. Soon, an extra person appeared in the room silently, and said in a low voice "The second prince, Bi Dan, is already waiting in Changmei Garden, [-] miles northeast of the city." Beitang Rongdu let out an ooh, nodded and said, "How many people did he bring?"

Gu Xing squatted down and put on cowhide boots for Beitang Rongdu, and replied: "After investigation, there are about three hundred riders." Qi... He is showing me that he has no malicious intentions... this person has some courage." Suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, since I secretly killed their master Li Hangzhai last winter After Lan Miaoxuan, there was a momentary scramble for power in the sect, and Li Hangzhai's vitality was greatly damaged by the time the new Zhai Master came to power. In this case, let's send someone to talk to them... Anyway, they have been relying on training for so many years. The 'fairies' who are 'bingqingyujie' come to confuse men, so naturally they can't live up to their abilities, and when they will be useful in the future... As long as the current Zhaizhu still has some brains, he should see the general situation clearly and know what to do. Choose." He sneered coldly: "At the beginning, Lan Miaoxuan dared to plan to harm me, so the young master was very angry, and the consequences were very serious."

Beitang Rongdu said, and went to get the fur coat and put it on: "Order down, order a hundred horses, and go with me." Gu Xing hesitated for a moment, and said: "Master, why don't you put on the heavy armor and take it with you?" Fifty armored soldiers..." Beitang Rongdu laughed and said, "Although he is not of my race, his heart must be different, but since Bi Dan has brought three hundred horses, he will meet me, and if I bring more people, I will take heavy protection Get up, you don't have to let them underestimate you!" He hung the sword on his waist, and said with a cold smile: "Even if there is any hesitation, I, Beitang Rongdu, have a sword in my hand, the world is so big, But how many people can keep me?" Fu said again: "Send someone to say hello to father, and tell him that I'm going to the meeting." Gu Xing accepted the order with his hands down, and made arrangements without mentioning it.

For a moment, Beitang Rongdu walked out of the door, and the snow was falling outside, as if there was nothing. Not long after, Gu Xing was already wearing light armor, and he led a hundred riders to gather outside the city and wait until he arrived at Beitang Rongdu. After arriving, a group of people rode their horses towards the northeast of the city in the face of the light snow all over the sky.

In the evening, the snow had already rested, and the group of people had arrived at Changmei Garden, sixty miles outside the city. They all rode forward, and a falcon guard came to greet them from a distance. The person stepped forward and said: "Come here Is it the young master of the Beitang clan? My prince is here to invite you." Beitang Rongdu didn't dismount after hearing this, and led someone into it, followed him, and saw hundreds of soldiers along the way separated on both sides, each of them The expression is solemn, the momentum is strong, and the whole body is fierce and brave. Although he is not a master, he is also a warrior who marches and fights.

Beitang Rongdu came all the way on horseback, and saw that although the pavilions in the garden were crumbled and the mountains and rocks were sparse, he could still vaguely see the grandeur of the royal palace in those days. If it rains, it seems that the world is free to choose, but seeing this situation, I also feel a little emotional, thinking that I don't know when, Wushebao will be able to sit on the world, so as to live up to this life. How many people can?Holding such power in one's hands is truly magnificent!Unknowingly sighed for a while, and said to Gu Xing beside him: "Seeing this, I feel like I don't know where I am, but I don't know what kind of scenery this place was hundreds of years ago?" Gu Xing said : "The prestige of the Tian family is naturally different." Beitang Rongdu smiled and said: "Naturally."

After the group of people walked for a while, their eyes suddenly opened up, and they saw a large open space in the distance among a large plum grove in full bloom, and a thick felt was spread on it. A person was sitting cross-legged on it, with a desk in front of him. , there are iron stoves, iron forks, iron nets and other things beside him, as if they are preparing to bake something, surrounded by their own guards, the man saw Beitang Rongdu and his party coming from afar, he got up and said: "... Lord, are you safe?"

Beitang Rongdu got off his horse, and everyone behind him left their saddles one after another. Standing quietly behind him, although Beitang Rongdu was slightly surprised that the other party seemed to know him, he still smiled and said, "Oh? Could it be that the prince has met me before?" Noodles?" As he said, he also walked over.

I saw that Prince Falcon had blue eyes, a head of blond hair, and a rather handsome appearance. He was wearing a brocade robe of sea dragon skin. He was tall and straight, with a wasp waist and a monkey back. It was only then that he suddenly remembered an incident from last year. It turned out that this man was the one who had been compared with Zhou Xiaoshi and other famous beautiful boys in history. Suddenly, he couldn't help but suddenly said: "Oh, I've seen it before... I just didn't expect that Your Excellency is Bi Dan, the second prince of the Falcon." Then, he took off the windshield hood, took off the sheepskin muff for the hand guard, and put it in his bosom .

Everyone in the falcons heard the voice of Beitang Rongdu before, and they only felt that the tone was neither light nor heavy, neither urgent nor slow, like a clear spring, but when they took off their hoods and saw the other person's appearance clearly, they were all shocked. Seeing the young man with a slender figure, floating out of the world, walking alone in the world, wearing a light blue mink fur embroidered with bucket patterns, luxurious and elegant, with a pair of phoenix eyes as deep as the autumn moon in the cold river, when his eyes pass by people, it will make people feel There is an illusion of "he sees me", and the high-spirited features are difficult to describe and draw, which makes people feel unspeakable joy in their hearts. In all their lives, they had never seen such a handsome young man. A few of them who were so masculine even opened their mouths slightly, feeling a little lost for a moment. Fortunately, it was the first time that people in the world saw him, and most of them were In this way, Beitang Rongdu has seen a lot in his life, so he doesn't take it seriously.

With a slight smile on his face, Bi Dan said: "Last time, I was reckless for a while, and my words were a little offensive, please don't mind, Young Castle Master." Beitang Rongdu remembered that he was also polite at the time, so he didn't care, and nodded Said: "It's just a few trivial things, the prince doesn't need to mention it again." Bi Dan smiled and said: "Young Castle Lord is really straightforward." Saying this, he led Beitang Rongdu to the thick felt position: "Young Castle Lord, please."

Beitang Rongdu was also polite, and sat on a bearskin cushion, while Bi Dan waved his hand to signal the falcons to retreat to the distance, and then gave instructions to the back. Jug of wine.Bi Dan took the iron fork and put the meat on it, then roasted it on the iron stove, and said with a smile: "The deer I just shot is very fresh, you might as well try it, Master Young Castle." Beitang Rongdu was not shy , also took a piece of meat, took a wire rack, put it on the fire and roasted it slowly, eat as much as you want, drink as much as you want, not afraid of what the other party does, Bi Dan nodded slightly in his heart when he saw it.

The surrounding snow was covered, although there were hundreds of people standing still in the distance, they were still almost silent, like clay sculptures, motionless, only the occasional snorting sound of distant horses, the two of them Eating roasted venison, drinking fine wine, and talking casually with a few words that are not salty or light, can be regarded as a joy.

After drinking for three rounds, Beitang Rongdu held the cup, suddenly changed the subject, and said, "I don't want to repeat anything, since the prince is here, let's talk about the exchange of food and horses." Dan's hand holding the cup paused, nodded and smiled, "Alright." As he said that, he suddenly looked at Beitang Rongdu with piercing eyes, and said, "Forgive me for saying too much, but right now I am only sending troops to the Central Plains. Han people, why do you need to help us with food and grass?"

Beitang Rongdu's hand holding the wine glass was crystal clear, like a piece of carefully carved beautiful jade, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his phoenix eyes turned slightly, which made people feel involuntary. , What exactly is it, the prince knows it well, so why bother to test me? Besides, horses are indeed needed for marching and fighting, so what's wrong with you and me getting what we deserve?"

Bi Dan smiled suddenly, raised his wine and said, "I've made a mistake." After speaking, he took a sip of wine, then smiled slightly, and said in a calm tone: "The battle of Hunjiao City has been heard all over the world. It's the style of a man, the true nature of a man." Beitang Rongdu smiled but said nothing, and slowly turned the iron stick with venison on the fire, and when he felt that it was almost done, he picked it up and tasted it, saying: "In the past During the chaos of the Five Husbands, when the Eight Kings Rebelled, Murong Xianbei ran rampant in the Central Plains, kidnapping tens of thousands of Han women... The prince should know what happened at that time."

Bi Dan's eyes flashed a little, and he heard Beitang Rongdu continue slowly: "These women are naturally insulted and abused, but Murong Xianbei used these women as army rations, slaughtered them and ate them when he left. By the time of Yishui, there were still [-] women left. Murong Xianbei felt that he could not finish eating, so he drowned all these women in the water. Bring grain and grass, and only use the Han people along the way as food, so not only can people be strong and strong, but also there is no logistical worry... In this way, I occasionally slaughtered a city or two in Wushibao, and it is not my Han people inside, and I am afraid what?"

Bi Dan was speechless for a moment, although the expression on his face remained the same, his heart was slightly agitated by Beitang Rongdu's understatement when he talked about Wan's life and death. , but it is worthy of the name, he is really a first-class ruthless character, so he changed his face and smiled, raised his glass to drink, saw Beitang Rongdu's long eyelashes and phoenix eyes, and a slight smile on his lips, and he could even vaguely see the underside of his face. His pale blue blood, his complexion is extremely handsome, and he smiled casually: "A man should act like this... It's just that the young castle master sat with me today to drink wine and eat meat. He is quite proud, but he is not afraid of what I do? "

When Beitang Rongdu heard the words, he also smiled, holding the cup in his hand, and said leisurely: "Oh? Although I am no match for my father, I am not afraid of anyone's secret tricks." Saying this, he moved forward slightly Qing approached Bi Dan, whispered and said with a light smile: "If you are angry, you will bleed for five steps... Except for a few people in the world, as long as the rest of the people are close to me, their lives are not mine. , the prince thinks, who am I afraid of harming me?" Bi Dan smiled unchanged, nodded and said: "Since the master of Beitang is the best in the world, the tiger father has no dogs, and the master of the young castle has the style of being a father." Tang Rongdu smiled and said, "Prince, you are welcome."
