fluttering night wind

Bai Yan said: "Come down, I have something to say to you."

The young man rolled his eyes and said strangely: "You can just say something, why do you want me to come down?"

Bai Yansheng held back his anger: "Don't talk to outsiders."

The young man felt curious and puzzled, and said: "Then you come up." Seeing that Bai Yansheng was silent, he clapped his hands and laughed, "You can't come up, right?"

Anyone who has followed Bai Yansheng for a long time knows that the more modest his appearance and appearance and the warm spring breeze, the angrier he will be to the extreme.Seeing his calm tone at this time, he smiled instead of anger: "Although I am not capable of climbing up, but if you are below, I can send you up."

The young man was overjoyed, put the slingshot back to his waist, and said: "I don't believe it", while speaking, with both hands flat, he turned somersault from the top of the Bodhisattva's head, and rushed straight to a step in front of Bai Yansheng before stopping his pace. Bai Yansheng raised his eyebrows, at this moment he raised his head slightly with a childish face, and said with a smile: "I'm coming down, show me what you're doing." Before he finished speaking, there was wind in his ears, and he was already slapped hard on his cheek Turn your face away.

"Your urgent need to save people is to stop evil deeds. At such a young age, why do you take a life if you take action, and instead use violence for violence, and evil for evil?"

The young man covered his cheeks and turned back slowly, his eyes quenched, and now he fixed Bai Yansheng with dead eyes, and instead of being angry, he smiled and said: "It is said that people in the Xia Dynasty were hypocritical, and I see that you are the ancestor of hypocrisy. You were in the tower just now In addition, Shen Yin has spent the past half a day, and I don't know how many thoughts of fearing the most evil, but it's a pity that the Wisdom Saber was not good, and the poisonous dragon was not killed. I cut this karma for you, you should thank me."

Bai Yansheng seemed to have received a blow to his head, and after being shocked, he couldn't help but look at him carefully again. The young man was about thirteen or fourteen years old, or even younger. Although he came from a foreign race, he had the appearance of the sky, an astonishing appearance, his face was as white as jade, and his hair was slightly brown. Long head and high cheekbones, deep-set eye sockets, a pair of blue eyes bottomless, staring at each other makes people drunk without drinking.

This young man is handsome and upright, not to mention that he is lovable when he is not moving, but when Bai Yansheng looked at him, he felt that his mind was confused and could not restrain himself, so he said: "The reason why human beings are more valuable than animals is their wisdom. If etiquette and righteousness are accomplished, fame and status will come. If you are moved by emotion and indulge in lust, your life will be in danger. Since he has committed evil, he has his own public punishment law, so where is it your turn to use lynching?"

The young man snorted coldly and said, "Fart! Regardless of evil deeds or virtues, strength is needed. How can a weak person like you save her? He is clearly harming her. Once you leave, they will be on the chopping block." Fish. Why were you standing there hesitating just now?"

Bai Yansheng asked him back, "What are you looking at while sitting on top of the Buddha statue?"

The young man looked at the disguised picture of hell above his head and said: "I'm looking at these pig-like fools who are dying, but still can't wake up from their dreams, indulge in worldly desires, have no self-reflection and awareness, and are entangled by greed, hatred, and obsession. "

Bai Yansheng was about to speak again when the guards outside the tower surrounded him, one of them said: "Lord Bai, General Guo arrived at the county guard's mansion and heard about what happened just now, he was furious."

Bai Yansheng sighed inwardly, and sure enough, all the demons started, pointing at the young man and the woman, "Come here, tie these two up."

On the Linxi side, after Guo Huaizuo, the commander of Fuyang, landed on the island, he handed over the county guard's mansion, which was only half burnt, and gathered in the open area of ​​the island to set up camp.Meng Ziying put together the broken books in her tent for a long time, then excitedly walked to Bai Yansheng's camp.From far away, Guo Huaizuo's angry shouts were heard, saying something like "It's reversed, these gangsters are barbarians", something like "How will I see Jiangdong's elders when I go back", and something like "What is the face of the Celestial Dynasty".Bai Yansheng seemed to be talking with him to relieve his anger.Sun Shuye stood outside the tent and waved his hands again and again, signaling not to go in at this time.

Mencius Ying felt that she was bored, so she turned and walked out.Passing by a camp, I saw a man tied to a cart transporting supplies, shackled and covered in mud, but his eyes were extremely condescending.Naturally, he had heard about what happened in the afternoon, so he walked over, took out a book from his pocket, flipped through it and asked, "What is your name, where did you come from, and who else is in your family?"

The boy named A Rong looked up at him and said, "Who are you? Haven't the yamen's registers been burned?"

Meng Ziying glanced at him and couldn't help being amazed, and said: "I am the one who has re-checked the household registration. I advise you to tell the truth as soon as possible. It is important to be careful."

Ah Rong half sat on the ground, rolled his eyes, and said slyly: "I am from Datong, Hanoi County, Yunzhou. I was sold by Ren Yazi from the sea to this restaurant as a coolie half a month ago. Why don't you do me a favor and let me go. "

Mencius Ying knew that he could not take a word of what he said to be true, and was about to threaten him with a few more words, when a soldier came and asked him to see Bai Yansheng.After entering the camp, Guo Huaizuo and Sun Shuye were no longer there, only Bai Yansheng stood in front of the marching map, the candles were flickering, and under the shadow of the lamp was full of exhaustion.

Meng Ziying looked closely, wishing she could reach out and smooth his eyebrows.Distressed: "You must have saved that boy and this group of foreign singing girls. How did you get rid of Guo Huaizuo?"

Bai Yansheng thought to himself that if he hadn't made the boy named A Rong choke in the afternoon, he probably wouldn't be able to do this.He sighed and said, "I said I wanted to report to him for his first achievement in conquering Yingzhou and landing on the island first, so he let go."

Mencius thought about it for a while and said: "Sovereign Sun naturally knows that you are not a person who is too busy to show off your talents, but you can't pretend to be unheard of when you see it. But you have to take care of everything, and Chen Jiadao will be taken by Guo Huaizuo. It’s gone, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket?” It’s not only a matter of face, but also the difference in how much the court rewarded and pensions came later. How can these people follow him wholeheartedly when they won military exploits but can't get money as a comfort?

Bai Yansheng looked at him appreciatively, and said: "I have just talked to Sect Master Sun. You also know that I am not unreasonable. I intended to give up Chenjiadao." He pointed to several places on the map and said: "You didn't When I came back, I led my troops to occupy these outlying islands. Although they are small, over the years, due to the heavy tax burden on Yingzhou, many seafarers have left Chenjia Island to do business. These outlying islands are where smuggling is rampant. Now that troops are stationed here, taxes are collected according to regulations, and with these outlying islands in hand, what is the use of mere Chen Dao?"

Meng Ziying was both surprised and happy. What surprised him was that this person was not only a wise and courageous person of benevolence and filial piety, but also a man with a long-term vision. He was happy that he didn't miss it at the beginning. This is the person who can truly accomplish great things. It was in vain that he had turned against all relatives of the Meng family.Thinking of this, a thought came to him suddenly, because he saw Shen Huaixiu lurking in Yongjing to collect information in the name of practicing medicine, and he felt that his eyes and ears were not working when he went out for a few times, so he thought about it and told Bai Yansheng.Bai Yansheng stroked the university, and the gloomy look in his eyebrows just now disappeared: "I said Ziying was a roundworm in my stomach, and he must have thought of what I thought of."

Mencius Ying had an angry face, spat and said, "What a shameless coach, I've thought about everything people say, and I'll take all the credit for it."

Bai Yansheng looked at him with a smile and said: "I want to open some music halls and restaurants in densely populated thoroughfares. On the one hand, I want to raise money, and on the other hand, I want to find out information. I have already thought of the names." He took out a book from his sleeve as he spoke. When I opened the paper, I saw the words "Qingshangguan" written on it in a fluttering manner.

Mencius Ying took it, tasted it carefully, and said, "Qing means Shang; turbid means palace. Is it from the meaning of the three tunes of Qing and Shang?"

Bai Yansheng walked up to him and said: "How do I know this, I don't dare to plunder the beauty, this name was thought up by Qu Chengfeng. This matter has also been entrusted to him. He was originally from Lehu, and he has traveled far and wide to see a lot. Guang, those music singers ask for their own opinions, and those who don't want to stay in Chenjiadao are also ready to be taken away by him to take care of them."

Meng Ziying thought to himself that he had considered everything and had already planned it out.He couldn't help laughing and said: "It's good, but you came here and only took a few foreign beauties. Don't be afraid that people will say that you are soliciting songs and choosing colors at sea, holding Yuemianxiang in your tent, and getting a reputation for being lewd and shallow-sighted." ?"

Bai Yansheng was taken aback, amused and angry at the same time, raised his hand and twisted his face, said: "Your mouth is like a knife, this is killing people without blood, I'm really afraid of you."

In less than three days, they moved their camps and villages and came across the sea.One afternoon on the way back to the teacher, Bai Yansheng, Meng Ziying and the Sun brothers were sheltering from the rain by the side of the road. Counting their footsteps, they should be able to reach the next station before dark.It was still early, and while drinking tea, Meng Ziying told the whole story of her trip to Yongjing, skipping the section on Shen Huaixiu of course.

Bai Yansheng said in a deep voice for a long time: "According to what you said, General Xu's family moved away before the fall of Youzhou, and the court didn't even hear about it. Could it be that there is something else hidden?"

Sun Shuye's eyes flickered, and he said: "I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Everyone is naturally urging.Fang Ting said unhurriedly: "When I was leaving the island, I heard from some travelers from Beihai that one month ago, Murong De, the king of Zhongshan in Xianbei, rebelled, killed the Great Chanyu, and proclaimed himself Emperor Xianbei. It is named Yan, and its capital was established in Youzhou, which was named Yanjing. Could it be that Xu Kuang voted for Murongde?"

Everyone gasped.It is unimaginable for a general to defect and seek refuge with the Hu captives, let alone such a country leader who is known as a Confucian commander.

Bai Yansheng lowered his head and remained silent.

Mencius Ying knew that he was thinking of something else, so she said contemptuously: "Xianbei horsemen, how can they learn from the Han people to build a capital and settle down, and change their plundering nature? It must be a rumor."

Just as he was talking, a man and a horse chased him from the main road, and they chased him to the gazebo. One of them was soaked and got off the saddle to pay his respects. The white goose said in a strange voice, "Didn't you follow the song and ride the wind to Xuzhou?"

The man took out a bamboo tube from his pocket and presented it, and replied: "After walking on the official road for three or four days, Mr. Qu asked me to send him back, saying that it was difficult to discipline."

At this moment, Meng Ziying and the Sun brothers also gathered around, and Bai Yansheng read the note in his hand three times and two times, and his face was full of anger: "The sky is bright and the sun is fine, why are you hitting the blind man with a slingshot again?" s eyes?!"

Sun Shuye and Sun Jiren both looked at each other, but Meng Ziying realized something, seeing the messenger bowed his head and said, "It's just because the passer-by looked at him a few more times to annoy him." Unavoidably miserable.

Bai Yansheng restrained his anger and said: "I understand, you bring him here and return to Qu Chengfeng's place."

Not long after, a young barbarian was brought along the main road, with his hands tied in front of him, walking past the Chinese army one by one.It was raining lightly, and the boy's gray clothes and trousers were completely wet, but he looked even more seductive, which made the soldier swallow his saliva.He walked under the gazebo, first looked at the four people in the pavilion one by one, without any fear on his face, but paused when he saw Meng Ziying.

Bai Yansheng asked him: "Ah Rong, when I asked someone to ask you whether to stay in Chenjiadao or return to your original place, you didn't choose. Why did you go on the road with Mr. Qu and provoke disputes?"

A Rong curled his lips and said, "I didn't say I wanted to go with him."

Bai Yansheng's face was already very displeased: "I have given you all the notes on the documents, you can take care of yourself."

Unexpectedly, Ah Rong said generously: "Then I will go with you."

As soon as these words came out, Sun Shuye and Sun Jiren burst out laughing.Only Meng Ziying felt a little sick in her heart, and her eyes scanned him up and down dozens of times.

"My parents sold me. If I go back, I will only be sold one more time. Marching and fighting with you, and having food and wages, is much better than being yelled back and forth."

Bai Yan's voice was distorted, he couldn't laugh or cry, he thought that he was just a child with a temper, and would shrink back after a long time, so he waved his sleeves and said, "It's up to you. If you are in the army, you must respect the military law, but if you violate it, you will definitely not forgive it." .”

That night, he rushed to Qinghe County post station to station.Bai Yansheng arranged for the soldiers, and because he thought about A Rong's identity and was afraid that he would cause trouble, he asked someone to bring him to the post to stand guard.After inspecting the first army, he returned to the room covered in mud, but there was no one on duty at the door, and when he was about to get angry, he heard A Rong shout from the room: "Is the water delivery man here?"

Bai Yansheng looked back and saw two teenage boys in the corridor, wearing the clothes of a post house servant, carrying a bucket of hot water together.He backed away, intent on seeing what kind of tricks this young man was playing.I only heard Ah Rong repeatedly ordering in the room: "You guys, don't go, rub my back."

There was the sound of water splashing, and A Rong tutted: "This post house is really dirty, like a pigsty, how much is it for a night?"

A servant couldn't bear his dominance, so he was a little more courageous and said: "One pig is fifty yuan, two pigs are one hundred yuan."

Bai Yansheng almost burst out laughing outside the house.

A Rong was silent for a moment, and asked with a smile in his voice, "What's your name?"

Although the little servant came from an ordinary family, he was probably raised in a pampered family, and he said without showing any weakness: "Zuo Xiaoqiu. Left and right Zuo, big and small, the enemy's hatred."

A Rong said: "No wonder you have such a long face. This name is not good. Enemies should be resolved rather than knotted, even a small grudge should not be remembered. You'd better change your name to Zuo Xiaoyuan, or Zuo Xiaoen..."

He was still talking and teasing, but Bai Yan's voice was really unbearable. He pushed the door open with a bang, and said with a stern face, "You all go out."
