fluttering night wind

Bai Yansheng followed Sun Jiren into the inner hall.I haven't been back for three years, and the scenery in the house has changed. The maids and servants who come and go have long hair tied up in a bun, or new hoarfrost has been added to the sideburns, and there are even unfamiliar faces. After seeing him, they all showed joy in their eyes. With a surprised look, he quietly retreated to the corridor and waited for them to pass.

Bai Yansheng walked outside the courtyard door of the study, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.There were two men standing in the yard, about the same height, and they all looked at him ecstatically.

Sun Shuye rushed forward first, with tears in his eyes, and said: "You are back!" Bai Yansheng shook hands with him, and after three years of separation, he did not know whether to live or die. What a joy it is to meet him at this moment, so he said: " Uncle Ye, Yansheng is incompetent and has tired you too much. Why are you so thin?"

Sun Shuye's slender phoenix eyes took a hard look at him a few times, and seeing that he had a ruddy complexion, a loud voice, and vigorous footwork apart from the dust of the journey, he knew there was nothing to worry about, so he smiled slightly and stepped aside.

The young man behind him came up to salute at this moment, knelt down and said, "Yanfeng has seen elder brother."

Bai Yansheng's eyes brightened. In just three years, the little boy had grown into a tall, graceful young man.Tears finally fell from his eyes, as if he wanted to cover up, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped Bai Yanfeng.

With the wind and thunder in his palm, Bai Yanfeng was startled, he knew that his brother was going to test his martial arts over the years, so he raised his arms quickly to support Yansheng's palm firmly.Bai Yansheng kicked out his palm before he could take it back, the lower part of Yanfeng Peak did not move at all, Bai Yansheng sounded as if he had kicked an iron plate.

Sun Jiren laughed and walked over and said, "General Xiaobai's martial arts are progressing so fast, my grandson is already willing to bow down."

"It's Brother Sun who taught you well." Bai Yansheng helped his younger brother up and looked at each other with his arms. Yanfeng was young and old, his eyes were not shining, and he looked like a master, but he felt trembling slightly when he held his hands, and there was ecstasy in his heart. Only then did I know that my younger brother has the tendency to achieve great success.

The two brothers spoke a few more personal words, when they heard footsteps outside the courtyard, two teenagers rushed in, threw themselves into Bai Yansheng's arms, and called each other "Big Brother" affectionately, it was Yan Xing and Pei Lie.There was an eight or nine-year-old boy at the gate of the courtyard, holding a small wooden sword in his hand, with a flushed face, looking up at them enviously, he looked like little Pei Shao.When Bai Yansheng left that day, he was still at the age of playing with mud.

Whose family is the son of the family.

Seven days in the middle of the cave, thousands of years have passed in the world.The sound of Bai Yan suddenly felt overwhelmed by vicissitudes.

The sky was getting dark, Bai Yanfeng said to the three little ones: "Go, go back to your own courtyard to eat and do your homework."

Brothers get together today, great joy and homework to do!The faces of the three little ones were horrific, they lingered on Bai Yansheng's body, and Yan Xing boldly said: "Brother Feng, please forgive us today."

Pei Lie also chimed in, "We want to listen to Brother Bai's story."

Bai Yanfeng's face was pale, and he snorted softly from his nose. He was so powerful that the three children were so frightened that they immediately got off Bai Yansheng's body and stood with their hands down.

Bai Yansheng was both funny and ashamed, these ten years of war, wandering north and south, everything in the inner hall was taken care of by Yanfeng, both brother and father, it is rare for these children to listen to Yanfeng's words like this.So he patted each of the children's heads, and said affectionately: "Go, the homework for these few days is waived. However, brothers still have important matters to discuss. I will play with you tomorrow when I am free. "

After the three children reluctantly left and the servants put on the lights, tea and cakes, the four of them closed the door and sat facing each other on the Hu bed.

Sun Shuye briefly introduced Xuzhou's governance and current situation when Yansheng was away.It turns out that Bai Yansheng disappeared during the Jiangling battle, and the Shu army spread rumors that he died in the chaos.But Yanfeng and Sun Shuye still didn't believe it.

Although Bai Yansheng was on the verge of defeat, he managed the changes of the world with his own body, and he challenged Mencius You alone, and his feat of breaking his hand became famous all over the world and shocked the ancient and modern.He also had the merits of capturing Xiangyang and assisting Xiakou that day, and the merits and demerits were balanced, and the imperial court did not send anyone to reprimand and punish him.For the past three years, Xuzhou was managed by Yanfeng. Duan Hui and Fu Xi urged the emperor to send people to regain the military power. A lieutenant general, a soldier and a long history came from Yongjing, and they were all put under house arrest by Yanfeng in Xuzhou city.There are powerful ministers in the imperial court, and there are many princes outside. Liu Xie is weak, so Xuzhou can't manage it for the time being.

When Bai Yansheng came back this day, he saw that Xuzhou City was well-organized and the prosperity was better than before, so he knew that it was because of the Sun family brothers' efforts to manage it.Thinking about the defeat of Jiangling and the annihilation of the whole army, the imperial court must be furious. Even if they don't write articles on the bright side, the shadows of swords and swords in the dark cannot be avoided. It's hard to say.

Bai Yansheng raised his forehead with both hands, saluted the Sun brothers, and said with a choked voice, "You two will repay the kindness you have given us and the three brothers in the future."

The Sun family brothers hurriedly returned the gift, Sun Shuye said with a smile: "My lord is back today, I am afraid that the wind has blown south. Mencius You is in the limelight and has already rushed to the city of Yongjing. Hearing this news, I don't know how to feel about it." .”

Speaking of this person, Bai Yansheng's pupils suddenly constricted, so is he a person who is afraid of things?

Bai Yanfeng, who hadn't spoken for a long time, asked at this moment: "Where has the eldest brother been for the past three years? Who is the girl brought back today?"

Bai Yansheng was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "In order to save me, this girl made her unable to return home. It is really Yansheng's fault."

The other three were taken aback.Sun Shuye has never met Xiao Rongyue, but he expected that the woman who came with Bai Yansheng would not be too bad, he just wanted to make a joke: then the lord will make a promise with his body.Suddenly thought of something, raised his eyebrows, and stopped talking.

Bai Yansheng told about Xiao Rongyue's origin and what happened in the past three years.The three of them were horrified when they heard that Shen Huaixiu was not dead, and they performed heart-replenishing techniques for him. Then they heard that he was hiding in Xiao Yuanzao's Zhuguo Mansion, and that Hu'er, who used to do odd jobs in the mansion, was actually Murong De's illegitimate son. The fact that Xiao Yu is a half-brother is even more shocking.

Bai Yansheng calmly said: "I have recognized Ah Rong as a brother, and I have no friends abroad, this matter should not be publicized, but if someone wants to make trouble, I am not a person who is afraid of trouble."

All three of them were shocked.The Sun family brothers are fine, but Bai Yanfeng was very unhappy in his heart, frowned and said in disbelief: "Xianbei Beard, Rong Di Jackal, when he is in the midst of a big event, it's fine to pretend to be a snake, why should the elder brother lower himself and make friends with him?"

Bai Yansheng's warm and crystal eyes slowly passed over his younger brother, and said softly: "Xiaofeng, don't be narrow-minded, and don't pretend to be orthodox in China and look down on others. Although born in a foreign land, I would not call it a barbarian if I could set my heart on China. The people of China abandon benevolence, righteousness, and loyalty.

Bai Yanfeng didn't think so in his heart, but he was always serious, when the brothers reunited, he didn't want to argue harshly.

Sun Shuye smiled slightly. After all, Yanfeng is young, so he has enough talent but not enough knowledge.Seeing that Bai Yansheng had returned from the catastrophe this time, he had a vastly different mind than before, thinking that he might be able to succeed in less than ten years, he couldn't help but his face was full of joy, and there were smiles on the corners of his eyes and brows.He opened his mouth and said, "My lord, I think Mencius is at the end of his strength, and he may not be able to complete his achievements in this battle. If the Shu soldiers retreat, there will be two happy events in the house this year."

Bai Yansheng was taken aback: "What happy event?"

Sun Shuye laughed loudly: "My lord, you forgot about your marriage to Miss Xie? Miss Xie has been a widow for you for three years, and if you don't come to ask for a marriage, you will be hired by others, but it's hard to find a beautiful woman again."

Bai Yansheng was ashamed and ashamed, and said: "I delayed her. What is another happy event?"

The Sun brothers all turned their gazes to Bai Yanfeng, Yanfeng blushed suddenly, his neck was thick, he was not good at words, and now he was even more speechless.Sun Jiren had a half-teacher friendship with him, so he said on his behalf: "General, Yanfeng and Miss Li are in love with each other, and I hope you will help them."

Bai Yansheng couldn't figure out the situation for a moment: "Which Miss Li?"

"The other Miss Li is the girl from Xiangnan."

Although Yanfeng didn't speak, he stared at his elder brother without blinking. He was afraid that his elder brother would think that he was born in a lowly place in southern Hunan, and that he was reckless, so he would not agree to a marriage. , Yanfeng has also reached the age of starting a family. Miss Li is simple and kind, with a strong disposition, she is a match made in heaven, why don't I make it a big happy event? It really is double happiness."

======Unfinished

The four of them talked about the battle and the chaos, Bai Yansheng ran around for days, his eyes were covered with black and blue, but the more they talked, the more excited they became.Sun Shuye didn't want him to be so distracted, he wanted to interrupt several times, but was distracted by other people.It wasn't until Sun Shuye coughed heavily and winked at the sound of a cock crowing that Sun Jiren and Yanfeng left one after another.Bai Yansheng closed the door and went to bed, the excitement and gratification of the rest of his life were still unfinished, he tossed and turned for a long time before falling into a deep sleep.

Xiao Rongyue was also unable to sleep that night like him.

She followed the sound of white geese all the way in such a daze, until today she finally settled down.Looking back on the past twenty days, she felt terrified when she thought about it, her heart ached from sadness and fear, and her internal organs shook when she felt the pain.

Xiao Rongyue was born 16 years ago and has always been as healthy as an antelope on the grassland. This is the first time in my memory that she is so sick that she can't get up.

Li Xiangnan knocked on the door once in the morning and no one answered, and knocked again at noon, but still no answer.She felt something was wrong, so she pushed the door open and opened the curtain, but saw that the person on the bed had flushed cheeks and blistered lips.

So while sending people to the Yan doctor to grab the medicine, he notified Bai Yansheng.

Bai Yansheng knew in his heart that this was caused by mixed worries, but he could do nothing about it.Seeing Li Xiangnan standing aside quietly, he cupped his hands and said, "It's still too much work for my brother and sister to take care of her."

Li Xiangnan was overjoyed, although he knew from Yanfeng that he had agreed to the marriage of the two, but it was different from hearing the words "brother and sister" from him. go.

Bai Yansheng came out from the courtyard, but seeing Yanfeng waiting for him in the corridor with a slight smile on his face, he knew that he had clearly heard the "brother and sister" just now.So he said: "I hope to win the hearts of the people, and the white head will not be separated. Xiangnan is a good girl, don't let her down."

Yan Feng solemnly answered yes, raised his eyes to look at Bai Yan and said: "Brother, follow me to meet someone."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hands and walked in front, but he looked like he was leaving the house.Bai Yansheng followed him around in the alleys of Xuzhou City, feeling strange in his heart, just about to ask him where he was going, but Yanfeng turned around and made a silent gesture, his eyes looked around, looking around cautiously. pole.

Something was wrong, Bai Yansheng saw that he didn't even call out to the Sun brothers, so he followed him calmly, wanting to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Yanfeng finally took him outside the wall of a rich family.He stretched out his hand and opened a locked window on the wall, motioning Bai Yansheng to look inside.

I don’t know whose family’s abandoned house is inside the wall. Gaohuai and old willows cover the ruins. The only intact one is the shady door. A young man is reading under the window. An old man walks out from the other side of the open house to splash water in the yard .

The young man raised his voice and said, "Eunuch Gao, what kind of allusion is this, please take a look."

The old man responded and entered the room.

Bai Yansheng seemed to have been beaten by someone, his eyes darkened, he quickly walked away from the wall, stood still in the alley, looked back at Yanfeng, gritted his teeth and said: "Is that the crown prince Liu Polu?"

Yanfeng nodded as if nothing had happened, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.

A month ago, Mencius You came to Yongjing with troops, and Emperor Jingning Liu Xie avoided Yangzhou and gave way to Prince Liu Polu.Poor Sheng Gong didn't hesitate, Liu Polu contracted an epidemic and died on the way, the Supreme Emperor hastily set up another clan son, and Jiangdong's political situation was in a mess.

Bai Yansheng turned pale in shock, took a deep breath, and said, "Why is the prince here? Does Shuye know about this?"

Yanfeng slowly shook his head and said: "About half a month ago, I met these two people among the refugees at the gate of the city. I had a disagreement with them, so I detained them. Why did the two of them end up here? Please go and ask After all, Yanfeng dare not specialize in it. Apart from me, no one in Xuzhou City knows of their existence."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped heavily on the face!

Bai Yansheng trembled all over, pointed at him and said solemnly: "You dare not be good at it! Are you blackmailing the emperor to make the princes?! You don't even talk about Sun Shuye, why are you so happy? If I don't come back for the rest of my life, you How to deal with the two of them?!"

On Baiyanfeng's face was a clear five-finger mountain. He was a tall man standing still, his eyes were fierce and fierce, and his voice was full of grief and indignation, like a hungry beast wanting to eat people: "In today's world, not only the king chooses The minister, the minister also chooses the king. The master who is ordered is not only difficult to start a business, but also to maintain success. Since he does not have the diamond, he should not take up porcelain work. I have already thought about it. If the elder brother does not come back by autumn, I will be here in Xuzhou Make yourself king, kill these two people to sacrifice the flag!"

Bai Yansheng was startled in his heart, he took several steps back, the old warmth was gone, he hardly knew this younger brother anymore.

Running for thousands of miles, the land is vast and the sky is long, and the young children are old in the world.

The brothers couldn't go back to the old days.
