My country is dead again [Rebirth]

Xining 17 years, Lezhou autumn hunting.

The hunting ground in Lezhou is built along the Yanlan Mountain, which runs from east to west. In the early years, it was mainly from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside. The hunting range in the forest was separated by wooden fences. During the autumn hunting season, the people are not allowed to approach.

Later, several emperors lost interest in hunting, and the range of the hunting ground at the foot of the mountain expanded, extending in a fan shape to the Taohe River forty miles away. Lin rode around and made a show.

The same goes for this year's fall hunt.

When Emperor Xietang set off from Pingdu, he brought some [-] concubines from the harem, and traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers.As soon as he entered Suifang, the chief envoy sent two slim beauties with a knowing look, coaxing Xie Tang to smile.After arriving in Lezhou, four general soldiers from Northern Xinjiang came to visit. Qi Junmao, general soldier from Haimen, presented two dancers from the Hu nationality.

Everywhere in the camp, banquets were held according to the emperor's taste. Every day on the hunting ground, the three major battalions of the capital, the Suifang Guards Army, and the Northern Border Army were led by their relatives Xungui in turn. However, most of the time, Xie Tang had to deal with unattended political affairs for Xie Tang.

The aristocratic families in Kyoto, Suifang, and Northern Xinjiang were busy drinking wine during this autumn hunt, and none of the servants who served them sneaked away, but Xie Ruzhuo thought he was a rare idler.

His mother, Concubine Ning, was originally a prostitute of the Jiaofang Division. Xie Tang entered the harem on a whim, but after a while, she lost her freshness and took advantage of the lack of prosperous children in the palace to be named concubine.After entering the palace, Concubine Ning lost the gentleness and softness she used to have in Jiaofangsi, and she never tried her best to please the emperor. Day after day, she became an inconspicuous role in the harem full of beauties.

At that time, there were still five princes alive in the palace. In front of Xie Ruzhuo were the elder brother, the prince, and the fifth prince, and behind him were the seventh prince and the eighth prince, who were girls from noble families.

Xie Ruzhuo is not as sweet-mouthed as the fifth brother and can act like a baby, but he can always please his father. His mother's background and status are far inferior to the two younger brothers. He, the sixth prince, is naturally ignored when he is caught in the middle. It may have been several months before Xie Tang I will remember that there is such a son as him.

There are no children from the family to curry favor with him, and his father doesn't need him to accompany him, so Xie Ruzhuo came out after lunch to take a nap while Concubine Ning was taking a nap.

He didn't dare to take his attendants with him, he only dared to sneak away alone like a thief, otherwise, when he returned, his mother would definitely ask him to explain in detail what he had done when he went out, who he had met, and what he had said. If there is a slight discrepancy, he will have no dinner.

Concubine Ning never allowed him to go out to play, so everything he saw was novel, squatting in the corner and watching a group of young people from aristocratic families play Cuju was enough for him to be happy for a long time.He really wanted to play with them, but he couldn't play cuju, so he could only pout and get angry with himself, and walked away silently.

The front seemed to be a racecourse, and Xie Ruzhuo couldn't ride a horse, but he still skipped and skipped past.

When Xie Ruzhuo approached, he realized that the atmosphere on the racetrack was not as harmonious as the group of young people who were playing Cuju in front. He opened his eyes wide, and saw a bay red horse passing by the field, and he looked at it in a daze. fell to the ground—

There was a deep drag mark where the horse had run.

Just like that, the bay red horse dragged a person and ran over.

living people.

Zaohong was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, with a vivid phoenix embroidered on his navy blue brocade robe with narrow sleeves, and a waist knife on his gleaming golden belt. The tone told the young men in brocade clothes who rode their horses to catch up quickly.

In Xie Ruzhuo's view, this person really looks like a golden pheasant showing off its might.

The living man tied behind the "Golden Pheasant"'s horse with a thick hemp rope seems to be younger than the "Golden Pheasant", and his white ramie clothes are dirty. Pulling the hemp rope, he kept trying to get up, but the horse ran too fast, and he seemed to be injured, so he couldn't exert his strength, and in the end he could only be dragged all the way on the sandy ground by the horse.

Xie Ruzhuo didn't know how long he had been dragged like this, when the bay red horse turned around and ran back again, he had already closed his eyes and could not move.

A boy following behind shouted: "Yunfeng! He won't die, will he? Take a look."

Xie Ruzhuo thought for a while, it seems that there is no one with the surname Yun in the famous family, but the generation of the Pei family in Cangzhou is the Yun family, so it turns out that the "Golden Pheasant" is from the Pei family.

The golden pheasant named Pei Yunfeng was obviously not happy when he heard the words, and shouted "It's so easy to die", but it still stopped, jumped off the horse's back, cut the hemp rope attached to the horse with a waist knife, and the person who was dragged all the way dropped his hands , lying motionless on the ground.

"What are you pretending to be dead!" Pei Yunfeng kicked the man to the ground twice, "Aren't you very capable, why... ah!"

Xie Ruzhuo looked intently at Pei Yunfeng's scream, and the half-dead man unexpectedly kicked Pei Yunfeng's ankle when Pei Yunfeng walked over. Pei Yunfeng howled and fell to the ground. Standing up, he quickly put his knee on Pei Yunfeng's stomach, pinning the golden pheasant under him.

"Your bastard, are you looking for death!" Pei Yunfeng scolded angrily, "You are presumptuous! How dare you! Let go of this young master..."

What Pei Yunfeng said later turned into a voice squeezed out of his throat. The man who was holding him down was still tied with a hemp rope, but his ten fingers tightened and strangled his neck.

This man's face was covered with dirt and scratches, and the heaving of his chest showed that he was panting violently. The previous series of actions probably consumed the little strength he had left, but the ferocity between his eyebrows and eyes made Xie Ruzhuo He felt that he would really kill Pei Yunfeng.

Pei Yunfeng's face was flushed red, and he kicked his legs to break off the fingers on his neck. Fortunately, his companions rushed over quickly and pulled the man away from Pei Yunfeng's body.

"What were you trying to do just now? You wanted to strangle me?" Pei Yunfeng had two bruises on his neck. He had just been rescued by his companions when he kicked that man's chest. "You bastard, I see you!" Today is courting death!"

Blood oozed from between the man's lips and teeth, and he bowed his body with a muffled grunt. Pei Yunfeng was still puzzled, and kicked him on the back again, crushing his shoulder blades and smashing it to the gravel ground.

The young men in brocade clothes beside him obviously took Pei Yunfeng as their leader, so they also surrounded him when they saw this, and kicked and kicked the man.

"Yunfeng, is he following your fifth brother now?" A blue-clothed boy said, "Just teach me a lesson and forget it."

Pei Yunfeng said disdainfully: "It's just my fifth brother's servant, what's the point?" He thought about it for a while, and felt that he really couldn't disable the fifth brother's people, so he snorted coldly, "Shen Ci, knock me down!" Fifty heads, I will let you go today."

The companions also seemed to think that this proposal was very good, and they took the initiative to drag Shen Ci into a kneeling position, and urged: "Quick knock."

"You are dreaming!" Shen Ci glared at Pei Yunfeng angrily, "If you are capable today, kill me, or I will beat you every time I see you in the future."

Shen Ci is obviously still a child who hasn't grown up yet, his whole body is bruised and embarrassed, but the fierceness in his eyes never fades away.

Xie Ruzhuo's figure was hidden behind the pillar beside the stable, thin and weak, those people didn't notice it, he thought to himself: He is arrogant and crazy, but he is so fierce.

Those words really angered Pei Yunfeng again. He slapped Shen Ci, gritted his teeth and said, "You are not small, thinking that I dare not kill you? Your mother is a prostitute who is played by men, and you were born to be played by men." Trampled bastard. When the time comes, give your master and wife 100 taels, is it enough to buy your life?"

Shen Ci's eyes really wanted to kill Pei Yunfeng. The others held Shen Ci to prevent him from fighting back like before. He struggled and said, "Shut up! Do you dare to mention my mother again?"

"Tch, did I make a mistake?" Pei Yunfeng said with an evil smile, "Isn't your mother a prostitute? There are prostitutes who haven't been played by men, right?"

Shen Ci cursed a dirty word, and was about to break free from those people and strangle Pei Yunfeng to death, when a strange voice came: "My mother is also a prostitute."

Everyone looked over in a daze, and saw a child wearing a bright red wide-sleeved brocade robe standing there at some point, with a pair of peach blossom eyes like a clear mountain spring, and when he smiled, his eyes curved into crescent moons.

Shen Ci also looked at him, the child's voice was clear and sweet, and for a moment it reminded him of the soft glutinous rice cakes made by his wife and wrapped in sugar.

What he hated the most since he was a child was when others called his mother a prostitute. He would rather be scolded more harshly than others call his mother a prostitute.

But the child said with a smile like this, my mother is also a prostitute.I am the son of a whore.

It’s not self-deprecating, it’s not contemptuous, and the speaker didn’t endow the sentence with any emotion. If he said it casually, he wouldn’t remember it after he said it, and others would hear it after hearing it.

Because he didn't care about this sentence himself, and he didn't care about the possible harm contained in this sentence, so what does it matter to him whether others care?

Pei Yunfeng and the others had never seen someone who could admit so bluntly that his mother was a prostitute, and looked at Xie Ruzhuo who suddenly appeared with very complicated expressions.

"Yunfeng," said the young man in blue, "I went to the Imperial Palace with my father before, this seems to be the sixth prince."

The blue-clothed boy's father is Si Tongzhi, the commander of the Suifang capital. Before Xie Tang thought of Suifang's hard work in preparing for the autumn hunt, he gave a special banquet to show his appreciation. He must have met several princes at that time.

Pei Yunfeng cupped his hands casually: "I have seen His Highness Six."

The rest of the people also greeted each other sparingly, Xie Ruzhuo raised his head and winked at them, and said, "My mother is also a prostitute, but she has never had sex with any man other than father...well, she has played..."

Xie Ruzhuo understood the meaning of this word, but he was too embarrassed to say it, his fair little face turned slightly red.

"I didn't intend to offend Concubine Ning." Pei Yunfeng really saw a ghost, he didn't expect to meet such a strange prince, but the more natural Xie Ruzhuo's demeanor, the more inexplicably embarrassing he was, "Sixth Highness, no wonder. "

Xie Ruzhuo smiled slightly: "I don't blame you, so can you stop beating him?"
