Bright moon out of Tianshan

Xiao Jian turned his head to look at Wei Young, but saw that Wei Young shook his head lightly at him, and said: "Your Highness, Xiao Ke is still a grassroots person, and there are some truths, it is not good to know too much, and it is easy to burn yourself. Since you have entered This Cuixiu Academy, then I will do my best to entertain you as a landlord, but I don’t know which girl His Highness has taken a fancy to? So let her come and serve you.”

Gao Hong sneered and said: "You are obsessed with obsession, but this king wants to tell the truth. This king has a concubine and a concubine, and although he likes men, it can't be regarded as a broken sleeve. Some people he can't do it at all. Get close to a woman, that is the real broken sleeve!"

Everyone stared at him blankly, knowing that he was talking about Gao Huai, but everyone except Wei Young couldn't believe it.Xiao Jian looked at Gao Huai in front of him, Gao Huai's eyelashes drooped slightly, his face was calm, he didn't open his mouth to defend, he just acquiesced.Xiao Jian remembered the slap he had received, and suddenly understood the reason in his heart, he took a step back slowly, and said: "Stopping or not going on, it's everyone's own business, what does it have to do with others?"

Gao Hong sneered, and said: "Xiao Jian, I have said a few more words to you for the sake of Grand Master Xiao, but you are so ignorant! Very good, you can do it, and you will be behind when you cry! Boss , prepare Cuiweiju for this king, and lead the way!" Then he turned to Gao Huai and Ding Wuxia and said, "Third brother, Xiao Ding, are you coming? Ding Wuxia shook his head, but Gao Huai ignored him. Hong sneered, and rushed away with a group of people. Wei Young hurried up with a few girls.

Xiao Jian let out a long breath, and finally put his heart in his stomach.His eyes swept over Gao Huai, and suddenly he was angry, and turned around to go into the back garden.

Gao Huai said, "Xiao Jian, go slowly. Listen to me."

Xiao Jian said: "I don't want to hear your words, what should I do? You should save your words for those who want to hear them!" He was about to walk away angrily, but Ding Wuxia rushed forward to block his way, saying: "Tiantian, I'm sorry, I'm all to blame today. I've already explained to His Royal Highness, it's me...it's my fault, I..."

Xiao Jian said: "Just now I have asked Jingyan to understand. Lao Ding, I don't blame you, this is my fate, I admit it. As long as I can completely wash away my family's reputation by myself, no matter what, I can bear it! I don't believe that a person who has bad luck can walk for such a long time, I really don't believe in this evil!"

He spoke angrily, and Gao Huai heard something unusual again, and said, "Xiao Jian, what happened today was purely accidental. Don't be angry, there will be more opportunities in the future. But I have never led soldiers to fight before." It is estimated that the battle is far from my brother. But anyone with insight will not choose to follow me in this expedition. You need to be cautious."

Xiao Jian paused, and said after a while: "I have no choice." These words sounded very sad.If I can choose, don't I want to choose someone who is good at fighting and go to battle to kill the enemy and become famous forever?But I am a good man, if I want to get ahead, I have to rely on my ambition and a long knife in my hand, so how can I imitate that young man who seduces people like a child prostitute?

He thought about it, and at this critical moment in his long life, he decided not to argue with Gao Huai, turned around and turned back, and said, "Then I didn't hear what His Highness said, what about the broken sleeves, what he is saying Who is it! So what if it’s broken? So what if it’s not stopped? It’s bullshit! I’m going to follow you! It’s useless if you don’t like me! If I don’t have the ability to resist a strong enemy, then let me die in battle!”

The corners of Gao Huai's lips twitched a few times, thinking that he was repeatedly stimulated today, and he was so angry that he couldn't choose what to say, so he had to choose to turn a deaf ear, saying: "You ask Wei Young to send a message to your brother Xiao Xiong, saying that I will find him, let him know what to say. He's coming every two days."

The next day, the imperial court published the imperial list, and Xiao Jian, Zhang Jingyan, and Han Lin were selected as No. 10 and No. [-].The third prince Gao Huai and Yang Baozhen who planned to go to Zhao State, the eldest prince Gao Hong and Fengzhu General Liang Fei who went to Beiyan.This time, the top ten candidates in the first class can freely choose which army to follow, and register at the Ministry of War within two days.

Xiao Jian registered with everyone's surprised eyes, willing to follow the third prince, but found that he was not alone in the registration post.Besides himself, there was another one, and it was Han Lin.He couldn't help laughing, Ding Wuxia was by his side all the time, looking at him worriedly, thinking that he was confused by this martial arts test, but Xiao Jian said with a smile: "It turns out I'm not alone Stupid, there is even a companion!"

It's pitiful to think about Gao Huai, but no decent person wants to follow him, and if he hadn't been forced to do so, he probably wouldn't want to follow him either.But I don't know what kind of madness this Han Lin has gone, it's really unpredictable.

Three days later, Yang Baozhen summoned the newly recruited soldiers to practice and arrange in the large school grounds. Xiao Jian, as a cavalry captain, first led [-] soldiers, and then increased as appropriate according to the situation.Since his official position was determined by Gao Huai's martial arts competition with him, he was not as high-ranking as Han Lin, who was formally conferred by the court as a captain of cavalry. As a result, Han Lin became his immediate boss.Later, when Ding Wuxia broke the gossip, saying that the third prince gave Han Lin money to send slaves to take care of his mother, Xiao Jian said coldly: "My life is good, but our life is hard! You will know it when you know it. Tell me so much." Well? Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?"

Ding Wuxia was silent for a while.

Yang Baozhen has a strong temper, but he is very skillful in training soldiers. He always holds a whip in his hand, and keeps cursing, seeing whoever doesn't like him immediately.Xiao Jian and a few young generals were scolded by him every day. Fortunately, Xiao Jian was straightforward and quick to react.

After the drill that day, General Yang asked these people to stay and drink with him, Xiao Jian said: "General, I don't know how to drink, besides, my sister is still waiting to go back."

Yang Baozhen squinted at him contemptuously, and said, "What kind of man is he if he doesn't know how to drink? Want to join the army and fight? Why don't you go back and hang out with those girls from Cuixiu Academy!"

When Xiao Jian heard this, he was furious, thinking about the difference between superiority and inferiority, but he couldn't get angry.General Rong Qian, one of Yang Baozhen's lieutenants, saw that his face had changed, so he hurried up and pulled him, "Xiao Jian, what kind of a man is a man if he doesn't drink alcohol? If you don't know how to do it, then learn! Come, come, elder brother will take you with me!" "Forcibly dragged him into the restaurant, coaxed and tricked him into getting half drunk, and then let him go back.

He staggered back to Cuixiu Academy, the girl Liyue in the academy was ordered by Wei Young to watch at the door for a long time, waiting for him to come back.As soon as he saw it, he rushed up to greet him, and said: "Master, where did you go? The hall master has come and has been waiting for you, but you have been crazy until now. He is now in Shui Seju, You go over quickly!"

Xiao Jian shook his head, and when he heard the word Hall Master, he suddenly woke up, and said in surprise and joy: "My elder brother is here? I'm going right now, right now!"

Shui Seju is located in a remote place, facing the water on three sides, and there are many hidden sentries in the Five Great Halls, so ordinary people can't get close to it easily.The furnishings in the room imitate the northern style. There is a long rosewood couch in the north, but it is a backrest and pillows of striped homemade cloth, everything is available.The open window on the south faces the lake, where the reeds and wild rice shoots are just beginning to bloom, and a burst of fragrance and water breeze diffuse into the room, which is cool and humid.Xiao Xiong chooses to live here every time he comes.

When Xiao Jian ran into the room, he saw Xiao Xiong and Gao Huai sitting opposite each other on the couch, with wine and food on the small table in the middle, and Wei Young accompanying him.Xiao Xiong still wears a white nightgown casually, as if he can lie down and sleep at any time.Seeing Xiao Jian coming in, he tilted his head and smiled, and said, "Come and sit beside me."

Xiao Jian hurried over, squeezed to sit beside him, Xiao Xiong embraced him, and said: "Have you been drinking?"

Xiao Jian said: "Yeah, I was called to drink by General Yang, and I said I don't know how to drink, so he scolded me, so I had to drink."

Xiao Xiong said with a smile: "What did he scold you for? Did he scold you for not being a man? Hehehe, then you should study hard in the future and let him go one day sooner or later! If you want to drink, you have to turn over all the people at the table , That’s what you can do. Here are lotus seed paste buns, you can eat some more.” Wei Young hurriedly brought over his favorite sugar lotus root porridge, Xiao Jian drank the wine, but didn’t eat anything. Just gobble it up.

Xiao Xiong comforted Xiao Jian, turned his head to look at Gao Huai and said, "Go ahead."

Gao Huai said: "Okay. This time, I am leading the Dragoon Army under General Xie. The Dragoon Army has been guarding the northwest border for many years. In terms of strength, it is no less than General Liang's Fengxiang Army. But the northwest border has never been closed. There is a big dispute. General Xie has been seriously ill for the past two years. General Yang is too busy alone, but the generals and soldiers are a little neglected in training. This is not a big problem. The biggest problem is that Zhao's military strength is obviously higher than that of the North. There are so many Yans, I followed General Xie’s suggestion and chose Zhao Guo. He said that Zhao Guoguo has weaknesses, and he seemed to be having fun. I tried every means to investigate, but because I didn’t have the right people, I still couldn’t catch the key point.” He raised his head and said solemnly Looking at Xiao Xiong: "Master, this time Zhao Guo, I have to take it down, I need your help."

Xiao Xiong was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, and said: "Just take it? Do you want to grab it in front of your eldest brother?"

When Gao Huai heard the words, he knew that he already knew the promise his father made to himself and his brother, whoever brought the jade seal of the enemy country back to Jinling first would be the crown prince.I secretly sighed in my heart for the well-informed news from Wudang Hall.Then he smiled slightly and said: "I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I only made up my mind a few days ago. It would be better if I can get ahead, after all, if my elder brother gets ahead, I will have a hard time in the future. Even if he wants to do something, he probably has no intention. So," he paused, and said solemnly, "I can't be polite to him."

Xiao Xiong smiled and said: "You finally figured it out! Then bring it." Stretching out a hand towards him, Gao Huai took out a black-feathered arrow from his sleeve and put it in his hand.

Xiao Xiong took it and held it in the palm of his hand. He has never been taboo about speaking, and sighed: "When the three black-feathered arrows are all taken back, I don't know if it will take our old life."

Gao Huai's eyebrows twitched, but he couldn't answer.Seeing that Xiao Jian had finished eating the steamed stuffed buns, he seemed to be listening to the excitement with his ears open at first, but now that he was drunk, he leaned against Xiao Xiong and fell asleep, so he interrupted: "Your brother seems to be sleepy."
