Shuoyun Feidu

The two discussed in detail about the trade of food, grass and horses. When the matter was over, Beitang Rongdu held the wine glass in his hand, hissed lightly, and said, "The prince's wine is really strong." Bi Dan looked at him with a smile on his face, and said: "If the young master likes it, why not drink more." Beitang Rongdu glanced at Bi Dan with a smile, and said jokingly: "Although my father has always disciplined me, it's not a big deal. Strict, but it's not good if you go back drunk." Bi Dan smiled freely, and said, "I've always heard that the Lord of Beitang Castle is famous, but it's a pity that I never have the chance to see him." Beitang Rongdu's face was shallow With a smile on his face, he turned over the squeaking venison in his hand, and said, "If there is a chance in the future, maybe I can see it." After he finished speaking, he suddenly changed the subject, and said calmly: "... ...There is one more matter today, my father asked me to pass it from the prince to the king of Fulgi."

The smile on Bi Dan's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Oh? It must be a major event, please tell me, Master Shaobao." Beitang Rongdu wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said slowly: "After the prince returns, I will convey this message. King Huzhi, let me say that my Beitang family supported Huzhi and became the co-lord of all the ministries in the grassland country... Now that the south is in chaos, all the ministries have dispatched a large number of elite troops to compete for interests in the Central Plains. It is just when the local power is weak, so Why don't you take advantage of the situation and swallow it up...Speaking of which, I'm from the Beitang clan, and I'm still related to the Huzhi." After a pause, Bi Dan smiled and said, "Young castle master was joking, they mobilized a large number of It’s true that the troops are staying in the south, but isn’t our falcon still doing the same? Although our falcon is the largest force in the grassland, the current falcon’s headquarters is also weak, so what’s the chance of annexing others?”

Beitang Rong Du suddenly smiled when he heard the words, and looked at Bi Dan with piercing eyes: "I never joke... Maybe the prince has forgotten that besides my father, I also have a blood relative! It is well known in the world that the number one divine religion in Miaojiang The leader, Mrs. Zhaohua, is my grandmother. The Moyue Sect is located in Miaojiang. If you want to return to the grassland in the shortest possible time, the south of Miaojiang is the place you must pass. At that time, except for the army of Ugh, I will not Let anyone else pass by here! Miaojiang has natural dangers to rely on, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the grasslands can't be united. At that time, my Beitang clan will send an army to stop it. As long as the Falcon soldiers return, they will rectify the army and quickly annex other forces , In this way, those ministries stranded in the Central Plains will lose their foundation and will be slowly eaten away sooner or later!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Bi Dan's face suddenly changed, and he really understood the methods of Beitang and his son.

For Falcon, this temptation was too great. He knew that this move was being used by the Beitang family, but he had no choice. He couldn't control himself not to swallow this bait!Once the Falcons send troops to annex other tribes, the soldiers and horses of the tribes staying in the Central Plains will receive the news. If they want to go back in time, they must take the shortcut south of Miaojiang. Pass, easier said than done?Once the soldiers and horses of the various tribes are really blocked in the Central Plains, they cannot go back for a while, and the falcons are originally the biggest force on the grassland. No one can change it!Once the falcons are done and the grasslands are unified, those Hu people who stay in the Central Plains will have no foundation, the morale of the army will be shaken, and there will be no capital to turn around. In the end, the barbarian soldiers and horses left in the Central Plains will only end in collapse, and the chaos in the Central Plains will be resolved. At that time, the south will be flat, and the local powerful families will also consume a lot of strength. At that time, Beitang However, the family can really fly in the sky, and can gradually accept the south without spending a huge price. In this way, if the north and the south are unified, the Central Plains will be completely in the hands of Beitang and his son! ——

This is the real plan of turning one's hands into clouds and turning one's hands into rain!

Bi Dan's mind was full of thoughts, his face was uncertain, for a long time, he suddenly laughed loudly: "The masters of Beitang Castle and Shaobao are good at strategy and tactics! Unsheltered Fortress dominates the Central Plains, once they make a move, they will be able to respond to the situation and turn the tide." Yun, it’s just that, this kind of plan, I know it’s for the use of Unsheltered Castle, but I still really can’t refuse this proposal!”

Beitang Rongdu smiled slightly, nodded slightly and said: "It's just mutual benefit. It's a great benefit for oneself and the other. Wouldn't it be great for me, the Beitang clan, to join hands with Huzhi and divide the world?"

Bi Dan also laughed, no one would take the so-called two-divided world seriously, but at this moment, both sides need each other, and because of the word 'interest', they have become the closest allies!He looked at Rongdu in the Beitang, his eyes were unclear, his mind was spinning a hundred times, and suddenly a ridiculous guess arose in the blur, his eyes darkened for a moment, and after a moment, he suddenly said in a low voice: "Young castle master, Bi Dan has something, and I would like to ask Master Shaobao." Beitang Rongdu smiled slightly: "Prince, please tell me."

Bi Dan's eyes were heavy, and there was no abnormality in his expression, he just said softly: "...Young Castle Lord, have you ever seen my brother?"

Beitang Rongdu immediately looked at Bi Dan when he heard the words, and after a while, he clapped his hands and exclaimed: "The prince is really a smart man..." Bi Dan saw him smiling brightly, with a peaceful brow, and felt a slight chill in his heart for no reason. , then nodded lightly and said: "So that's how it is... Wushebao single-handedly provoked the chaos in the Central Plains, and made all kinds of tricks. There are more than tens of thousands of people in this world, but they are all played by the respected father and son." Beitang Rongdu Smiling without saying a word, he raised his glass and took a sip of fine wine, then said with a light smile, "Why should the prince say such a thing? Speaking of which, the prince is the one who benefits the most. Now that Erlong is dead, the prince will be the next King of the Ugly. He will be the lord of the entire grassland, if he does not die, the prince, as the son of the concubine, will never be able to become the king of the Falcon." Beitang Rongdu said, taking the time to cut off a piece of roasted venison, put it in his mouth, and leisurely He said: "At the beginning, I was the one who cut off Erlong's head with a single sword... So, I have done such a great favor to the prince, and the prince should thank me."

Up to now, Beitang Rongdu is not afraid that Huzhi will know about this matter at all. Under the huge benefits, a son is nothing. Even if King Huyi knows that the eldest son died at his own hands, he will still choose to cooperate. Besides, Bi Dan is a smart person, so he will not leak this matter out, and if the falcon wants to announce this matter to the world in the future, pointing out that the Beitang family started the war for their own selfishness, no one will believe it. , It should only be regarded as a conspiracy by the Hu people to attack the largest power in the Central Plains, with the intention of stirring up suspicion among the Han people and causing conflicts.Therefore, when the barbarians rode their horses to the Central Plains last year and everything developed according to the plan, Beitang Rongdu was not afraid of this being known at all.

Bi Dan's face was calm, and suddenly he smiled, and said: "Yes, I owe a great favor to the young castle master!" Then he raised his glass and said: "I would like to thank you in advance for this wine." Beitang Rongdu said loudly Laughing and toasting, the two drank at the same time.

The guests and hosts were enjoying themselves for a while, Bi Dan's eyes flashed, and he went back to normal, only smiling at Beitang Rongdu, and said: "Today, I hit it off with the Master of the Young Castle, so please forgive me... It's just that the Han people always Paying attention to integrity, morality, etc., now respecting father and son and acting like this, stirring up the world with one's own selfishness, seems to be inconsistent with the word "benevolence and righteousness"..."

Beitang Rongdu raised his eyebrows, and said: "The general trend of the world is that if it is divided for a long time, it will be united, and if it is united for a long time, it will be divided. Even if I have no cover and don't fight this head, there will always be someone who will do it. If this is the case, it is better for me to do it than others. " Then he held his wine glass and said with a smile: "Prince, I know that my father once taught me a word." Bi Dan smiled: "I would like to hear more about it." It is said: It is not good for oneself, even if it is good, do not do it, it is beneficial for oneself, even if it is evil, it must be done!"

As soon as these words came out, Bi Dan was silent for a while, and after a while, Fang sighed: "...The Lord of Beitang Castle is really a hero." Then I ask your department to stay in the Central Plains for a while longer to completely muddy the water in the south... The prince will go back this time and convey the matter to the King of the Falcons. Your ministry can pass through Miaojiang and go back to Huzhi." Bi Dan nodded slightly: "The matter is very important, I will pass this matter on to my father." Beitang Rongdu smiled and said nothing more.

When it was getting late, the two bid farewell to each other politely, Beitang Rongdu got on his horse, and the group quickly disappeared into the night. Bi Dan saw the other party leave, and unconsciously sighed to a middle-aged man behind him "No one I have ever met in my life is as good as Beitang's father and son... Beitang Rongdu is so young now that he is already like this, but I don't know what kind of character Beitang Zunyue is?" The middle-aged man said: "Since the prince has the heart to encompass the world, he must have time to deal with him in the future." Bi Dan smiled and said: "The world... the 'world' refers to our grassland. They belong to the Han people, unless the Central Plains is weak, otherwise, we will not be able to stand on our feet at all."

……

Midwinter, Uncovered Fort.

The huge castle was full of singing and dancing. After more than half a year, Beitang father and son finally returned to the castle today. In the entire unsheltered castle, everyone enjoyed themselves.

At this moment, when it was the busiest time, Beitang Rongdu sat beside the head of Beitang Zunyue, put down the wine bottle in his hand, his face was slightly flushed, and said in a low voice: "Father, I am already I felt drunk, so I stopped drinking... I was in a hurry when I came back today, and I haven't had time to go to see the festival yet."

Beitang Venerable knows that he loves Beitang's good times like pearls and treasures, father and daughter have not seen each other for a long time, Beitang Rongdu has always been thinking about the child in his heart, how can he have much thought about drinking and having fun, so he said: "You go." Beitang Rong Du agreed, and was about to get up, but Beitang Zunyue laughed softly and said: "...Tonight, go to my seat." Beitang Rongdu was stunned, and then lowered his voice: "I just came back from outside It stands to reason that whoever doesn't stay in his own residence has gone to sleep with his father who came back together!" The more Beitang Zun saw him like this, he knew that the young man would not agree, so he gave up and didn't want to provoke him, so He waved his hand, and said, "Forget it." As he spoke, he had a half-smile on his face, glanced at Shen Hanyan, who was drinking, and said to Beitang Rongdu, "Everyone says farewell is better than a newly-married couple." , why, why don't you go to my seat tonight, is it because you have a gentle place waiting for you?"

Beitang Rongdu felt inexplicably impatient in his heart, and said in a low voice: "You can't stop eating this boring dry vinegar? After all, Han Yan was married to me seriously, it's not like you don't know about it... No matter what Say, in my heart, no one is more important than you, is that okay?" Beitang Zunyue will naturally not be satisfied, but he also knows that if Beitang Rongdu gets stubborn, he doesn't know how to fight him coldly. You can't push him too fast, the gain outweighs the loss, so I can only suppress the dissatisfaction in my heart, coldly snorted: "...Go ahead." As he spoke, he poured out the wine and drank it himself.

Beitang Rongdu left the banquet and returned to Bihai Pavilion shortly after. Everyone in the pavilion was busy serving tea and water when they saw him coming back. Meng Chunyuan seemed to be a little taller now, wearing a light yellow shirt, handsome There seemed to be a little bit of growth between the brows, and he changed into soft-soled slippers for Beitang Rongdu, and there was endless joy in his expression, which was beyond words: "Young master is back, I have always missed you. Well." Beitang Rongdu touched the top of his head, and said with a smile: "Well, it seems that he has grown a little taller." Meng Chunyuan proudly looked up at Beitang Rongdu, gestured with his hands, and said: "Isn't it? I've grown so much."

Beitang Rongdu asked a few words about his homework with a smile, and didn't even bother to drink tea, so he turned to ask Cuiping next to him, "... Where's the wedding?" Cuiping said with a smile: "Young lady just woke up , now father and daughter have not seen each other for more than half a year, son, hurry up and have a look." Then, he led Beitang Rongdu to Beitang Jiaqi's house.

The room was very warm, Beitang Jiaqi was wearing a water red brocade jacket, wrapped in a small blanket, lying on the bed and yawning, a group of maids and nurses in the room circled around her.When everyone saw Beitang Rongdu coming in, they rushed to greet Beitang Rongdu. When Beitang Rongdu saw Beitang Jiaqi at this time, it was a father-daughter bond, and their hearts were filled with mixed feelings. They couldn't care less about anything else, so they went straight to Before the bed, I saw that my daughter has grown up a lot compared to when I left the castle, and her facial features have gradually grown. She is white and fat, with a head of soft black hair, her small mouth is as red as a petal, and her eyes are as flexible as a flower. Extremely, it is really pitiful and loving. Beitang Rongdu was even more moved when he saw his daughter's cute appearance, so he couldn't help stretching out his hand for a while, and took Beitang Jiaqi from Hugged up on the bed, lowered his head and kissed the tender little face that smelled of milk, and said with a smile: "Good boy, do you miss Daddy?"

Beitang Jiaqi was very young at this time, and it was impossible for him to remember his father whom he hadn't seen in half a year. Now that he was suddenly hugged by such an unfamiliar stranger, he couldn't help but burst into tears, waving his little hands again and again, as if It was because she wanted to struggle to get rid of this strange embrace, and cried with her mouth open.

When Beitang Rongdu saw this, he felt a little embarrassed and helpless, and coaxed softly: "Guy Luer, I'm your father, why are you crying? Don't be afraid..." Beitang Jiaqi didn't like him at all, Still crying, two chubby pink hands stretched out to Cuiping at the side, tear-stained, and cried: "Hold..."

Cuiping smiled helplessly, hugged Beitang Jiaqi from Beitang Rongdu's arms, coaxed her affectionately, and said to Beitang Rongdu: "The girl is too young, and now I haven't seen you for a long time, naturally I don't remember, it's inevitable She's a little shy." Beitang Rongdu didn't take it too seriously, he laughed at himself, and said, "This child is so alienated from me... Well, she's still so young, how can she understand this?" Then, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked "By the way, it was said in the letter that Luer can call someone, right?" Cuiping said with a smile, "Isn't that true? The girl can already speak a lot of words... Even walking, she can walk quite well now. It looks good now, and if you hold on to something, you can walk a long way." As he spoke, he coaxed Beitang Jiaqi who had stopped crying, and while stroking her, said softly: "This is Daddy, Call 'Daddy'... come on, call 'Daddy'..."

Beitang Jia looked forward to Beitang Rongdu's glance, still a little timid, with both hands tightly around Cuiping's neck, watching for a moment, under Cuiping's constant coaxing, Fang hesitantly said softly: " Daddy..." Beitang Rongdu was immediately elated when he heard it for the first time, and wanted to hug his daughter, but he was afraid of scaring her, so he stopped his hands embarrassingly, just looked at Beitang Jiaqi with a straight smile, and looked at it carefully with daughter.

For a while, Beitang Rongdu took the toy, and patiently and slowly coaxed Beitang Jiaqi. Anyway, after all, father and daughter are united, and there is a blood connection in the dark. Gradually, Beitang Jiaqi seems to be no longer Then reject him, and when Beitang Rongdu tried to hug her again, Beitang Jiaqi didn't cry anymore, and didn't struggle, Beitang Rongdu was overjoyed, and gently shook her soft little hand, the light pink nails on it, Just like a few small petals.Beitang Jiaqi grabbed a rattle and didn't care about the surrounding affairs anymore, just started playing seriously by himself wholeheartedly.

Beitang Rongdu waved away the crowd, and only he was left playing with his daughter in the room. He was lying sideways on the bed, teasing Beitang Jiaqi with one hand. The candles in the room were brightly lit, and there was a faint scene of singing and dancing in the distance. , Beitang Rongdu's stomach was full of alcohol, and before he knew it, his eyelids began to sink little by little, and he still dozed off after all.

When he was half asleep and half awake, he only felt someone whispering beside his ear: "Beitang..." Beitang Rongdu slowly opened his eyes, because he had just opened his eyes, there were faint shadows in the past, and after a little concentration, he finally He saw that there was a person sitting in front of him.

The man was Shen Hanyan, and the young man's eyes were a bit wine-colored, slightly stained with a moving flush, the bottom of his eyes were like waves in autumn, he was still hesitant to speak, he was sitting on the edge of the bed, warm red under the sleeves inlaid with gold silk The slender hands are exposed, fresh as a breeze passing through the bamboo shoots, there seems to be a sense of affection in the eyes, a strand of black hair escapes from under the silver crown, and the expression is calm and peaceful, both in appearance and complexion, just like the past , Beitang Jiaqi was snuggling in his arms, giggling and stroking his hair with her small hands.Beitang Rongdu looked at the young man quietly, as if in a trance for a while, the kind of absent-minded daze was hidden in his eyes, slightly fluctuating, and after a while, he suddenly sighed softly: "Han Yan..."

Ever since Shen Hanyan started following Beitang Rongdu when he was 12 years old, the two had never been separated from each other for so long. Today, since Beitang Rongdu returned to the fort, the two of them haven't even bothered to take care of each other. After saying a few words, Shen Hanyan looked at Beitang Rongdu, and seemed to have something to say, but when the thousand words came to his lips, he finally turned them into one sentence, smiled, and raised a smoke cage. With long eyebrows, he nodded slightly, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he said in a clear tone: "...Beitang, when I see you right now, you seem to be thinner than when you left the castle last year."

Beitang Rongdu remained silent. After a while, he sat up, stretched out his right hand, and held Shen Hanyan's palm. Putting it aside, I turned around and stared at Beitang Rongdu. In just a moment, my white fingertips were tightly sunk into Beitang Rongdu's palm. Du hugged into his arms, he could hear that he was trying his best to calm down, his tone was already a little depressed: "I miss you very much..."

It is rare for Beitang Rongdu to see him like this, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but Shen Hanyan quickly calmed down, and slowly let go of Beitang Rongdu, his eyelashes were long and drooping like wings , when he raised his head again, he was already smiling happily, and said softly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I lost my composure for a while." As he spoke, he hugged Beitang Jiaqi from the side again, changed his face and smiled, and said, "Now Luer grows older There are a lot of them, and they will be amazing, and they look more and more like you." Beitang Rongdu felt a chaotic emotion in his heart, and he didn't know what it was like. I'm not used to you not being around." Shen Hanyan concentrated his attention, and slender fingertips slid across the eyebrows of Beitang Rongdu, and said: "I live in the fort, but you work hard in the army. , is better than being at home.”

This peace as usual is no different from before, but at this time Beitang Rongdu heard it in his ears, but it seemed to have a different taste. Even though he was so familiar with such gentleness, there was still a warm warmth gushing out from the bottom of his heart, full of joy. Then he raised his hand and rolled up the fine hair at the sideburns, lowered his brows and eyes, and said: "It's nothing. When we were outside, it's not like we didn't suffer... But I saw that Jiaqi was healthy and healthy. You put She's been taken care of very well."

The two talked for a while, and gradually the night was getting dark, and Beitang Jiaqi also fell asleep unknowingly. Shen Hanyan carefully carried her back to the room and handed her over to the nurse and maid. When she went back, she saw Beitang Rongdu was already tired and fell asleep.Shen Hanyan looked at him quietly for a while, then turned off the lights, leaving only a vigil, then took off the red brocade robe outside, and lay down on the couch beside Rongdu in Beitang.

Beitang Rongdu breathed heavily, obviously asleep, Shen Hanyan turned sideways and looked at him quietly, for a long time, stretched out his hand, took Beitang Rongdu into his arms, and kissed the young man's forehead lightly.
