Zhezong's death put an end to all irrational emotions: the new emperor got the coveted throne, and compared with the Ninth Five-Year King, someone's affirmation seemed insignificant.Empress Dowager Xiang still regards her aunt as the queen mother, and Empress Meng also made her queen mother on the grounds that "the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother". Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are queen mothers.Zhuge Zhengwo is still the chief coach of the 80 imperial army, and the people of Zhuge'an have also started a quiet life of convalescence.

Exhausted, traumatized, and without internal energy to protect his body, Zhuge Anren's life is not happy.The physical pain affects the psychology, Zhuge Anren is now inexplicably suspicious, whether Qi Shaoshang and Gu Xichao, who have been talked about by later generations, are really tricky?The four famous arresters are willing to let the young Wuqing be the senior brother. Is it really the reason why they started first?Zhuge An was really stunned when he speculated about the private affairs of his relatives and friends with dirty thoughts.

After lying on the bed for too long, Zhuge An got up and opened the window, and saw the red camellia outside the window.The first emperor had a great funeral, and the officials had to pinch off any red flower decorations. The camellia in front of Zhuge Anren’s gate was too tall, and the servants who took care of the flowers and trees didn’t pay attention. After one night, a flower actually bloomed on the branch. , red like flames.

It is easy for people to fall into the misunderstanding of thinking that the world is the world around them, thinking that the world is like the people around them.Zhuge Anren was inexplicably reminded by a flower that the case of Zhezong was just an exception.

However, no matter how great the contribution of this flower is, it cannot be kept.Zhuge'an went out slowly, he lived in seclusion due to illness, he had never worn a hat, his white hair was hanging loose on his white inner garment, his feet were white soft shoes, his whole body was white except for his black eyes.Walking to the camellia tree, he jumped up and picked off the red flower on the branch. Before he could smile, he fell straight down.

Zhuge Anren quickly changed his figure, leaned against the pillars in the corridor, and landed safely.

"Brother An..." Wang Xiaoshi felt sad when he saw that the man who worshiped him like a god couldn't even pick flowers, so he hurried over to help him.

"What's your name, isn't this a safe landing?" In fact, Zhuge An is more proud than Gu Ying, and even without internal strength, he is still proficient in the use of moves, and flowers and trees two or three feet high can also land safely. Yet.Thinking about the first life, people had no internal strength, and with the help of standardized and precise moves, big data analysis, and pre-judgment rehearsals, they could still achieve effects no less than those of martial arts masters.Perhaps the loss of internal strength this time is not a bad thing, it is of great benefit to him in creating a new realm of martial arts.

Zhuge An stood up straight and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you introduce your friend to me?"

Only then did Wang Xiaoshi come to his senses, and ran back to the gate of the small courtyard, and pulled Su Mengzhen who was waiting, "Brother An, this is my sworn brother Su Mengzhen, he is..."

"The owner of the Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower, the leader of the largest Jianghu gang in Bianjing, I met you today, very lucky, very lucky."

Su Mengzhen looked straight at Zhuge Anren. This person is a star that astonishes the sky of Song Dynasty. He just saw it now. He has been waiting for too long.Su Mengzhen imagined when he would see this Great Song God of War, maybe it was on the battlefield, when he was about to die, he must use his remains to regain his homeland and drive out foreign enemies; maybe it was in the early morning of a certain day, The squadron of the Zhenbei Army who had won another great victory returned to the court. He sat on the small building and watched with admiration and admiration as the general in military uniform accepted the cheers of the people. In fact, such a scene had happened before, and it frequently appeared in his dreams.But Su Mengzhen never thought that one day they would meet like this. Zhuge An's clothes were disheveled, and under the snow-white, there were only red flowers on his hands and black eyes in his eyes, which was amazing.

"Su has met the great general. Although he has never met, he has been in love for a long time... Cough cough, cough cough..." Su Mengzhen saw his friend but couldn't control his body like a hole sealed in a box.Yes, as soon as they met, Su Mengzhen defined the relationship between the two as close friends, or even before they met, Su Mengzhen knew that this person had realized what he had always advocated: "Throw your head, sprinkle your blood, and make friends with each other." Heroes, go to danger together, expel foreign enemies, and regain the homeland."

"Lord Su's body is about the same as Zhuge's, please talk in the room." Zhuge'an nodded.

"Yes, yes, yes, talk in the room." Wang Xiaoshi jumped up and didn't know which one to help first. Zhuge An waved his hand and went in first. Wang Xiaoshi could only jump in front of the newly sworn brother and help him into the room.

Zhuge Anren and Su Mengzhen sat facing each other. There was an earth dragon burned in the house, and there was a smoker. The light pine fragrance overflowed slowly, making people relax, quiet and peaceful.

Just now Su Mengzhen was standing outside the gate of the small courtyard. In order not to disturb others, she kept suppressing her cough, and was dragged by Wang Xiaoshi to run for a short distance. cough.

People from Zhuge'an have also heard about him. He has a disease in his body, but his heart is healthier than most people, so he quietly waited for him to get used to it.

Wang Xiaoshi is a disciple of Tianyi Layman Xu Xiaoyi, Tianyi Layman and Zhuge Zhengwo are senior brothers, Zhuge An grew up in the Zizai School, although he claims that he has never studied with a teacher, but he is like a brother in the Zizai School. In other words, several older seniors took care of Zhuge An as if they were their sons.So, when Zhuge'an grows up, he treats his brother's disciples in the same way. In this general's mansion, Wu Qing, Tie Shou, Wang Xiaoshi and others all have their own courtyards, and they don't need to report when they come in and out.

Wang Xiaoshi came yesterday, people from Zhuge'an knew it, and people from Zhuge'an knew that he brought Su Mengzhen here.

Zhuge'an and Wang Xiaoshi have different generations, but they are similar in age. Zhuge'an is like their brothers. Wang Xiaoshi is a naive and detached person. Innocence is not ignorance, but the most sincere and purest expectation for the world. .When he came to Beijing this time, he met Su Mengzhen and Bai Choufei, and became the third owner of the Golden Wind and Rain Building, and he also wanted to fight for their common ideals.

The clay pot on the small red clay stove began to smoke, and Wang Xiaoshi poured tea for the two of them. He who has always been unrestrained, could concentrate on making tea, like a scribe.Tuan tea has always been popular nowadays, but because the people of Zhuge'an like loose tea and have their own tea art, the people of Bianjing chase after the fashion, and gradually spread this tea making technique.

Su Mengzhen also calmed down at this time, picked up the light green tea soup on the coffee table, sniffed and sipped it lightly, and praised: "The fragrance is long, it produces body fluids and quenches thirst, and the aftertaste is sweet. It really is a good tea."

"It is convenient and fast, and not more complicated than the process of tuancha."

"What's the use of being complicated!" Su Mengzhen said seriously, "What's more, the general has his own style of brewing loose tea, and he is full of knowledge. This loose tea is also used by ordinary people, and it is also used in the army. It is suitable for both refined and popular tastes."

Zhuge An took a good look at Su Mengzhen, and said the words "both elegant and popular" are good. This is the reason why he promotes loose tea. The army and the people don't have time to take a sip of tea three or four steps slowly.The people of Zhuge'an have seen too many people from the rivers and lakes who are not worthy of their names, but today they meet Su Mengzhen, but they are people with lofty aspirations.

Zhuge Anren smiled, turned the topic to Wang Xiaoshi who was left out, and asked, "Why are you here? Is Senior Brother Xu okay?"

Wang Xiaoshi didn't feel neglected, but watched the two elder brothers talking with relish, and said with a smile: "Brother An, don't worry, Master is fine. The medicinal materials you sent last year were all planted in Baixu Garden. I saw them when I left. , very energetic."

There is also the thought of playing with medicinal materials, it seems that Xu Xiaoyi's life is indeed going well, Zhuge An smiled, "You didn't sneak away this time, did you?"

"Brother An! How could it be! I can't get out of Master's organ formation!" Wang Xiaoshi laughed, "Master said that I am ready to come out and meet the heroes of the world, and I still want Brother An to guide me..."

In the middle of speaking, Wang Xiaoshi suddenly remembered the fact that Zhuge Anren lost all his internal energy, so he shut up.

"Why, I can't give you any advice now. I can't do anything for the time being. Is my vision and experience useless?" Zhuge An asked feigned anger.

"Useful and useful! The master said that brother An is the most powerful, and you can judge the heroes of the world, and let me learn a lot!" Wang Xiaoshi waved his hands again and again.

Su Mengzhen also smiled at the side. He has been suffering from illness all year round, and he seldom had time to be happy. Hearing the messy seniority of these two people, talking about learning to sing, he suddenly laughed.Su Mengzhen is very proud. The brothers he befriended despise the heroes of the world in words, how proud they are!

"Cough cough...cough cough..." Su Mengzhen couldn't help coughing when she was excited.

"Can you get a pulse?" Zhuge Anren asked with a smile. After a short friendship, Su Mengzhen was in a temper with him in every word and deed.

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." Su Mengzhen nodded.

Zhuge An took out a dark green hair band from the low shelf, tied it with loose hair, and took out a small pillow, asking Su Mengzhen to put it on his wrist.If there is no lack of internal strength and stamina to cause hand tremors, Zhuge Anren can directly use the internal body to check.

After quietly examining the pulse, Zhuge Anren put away the tools and sighed: "Congenital deficiency hurts the lungs and organs, and then poisoned, the sick body is heavy."

"How to cure it?" Wang Xiaoshi asked anxiously.

"Your sword technique is too domineering, and the rampant qi makes the gaps in the already cracked meridians bigger and bigger. The higher the martial arts, the closer you are to death."

"Then I won't practice! From now on, I will protect Big Brother!" Wang Xiaoshi said anxiously.

Su Mengzhen, who has always been calm and quiet, said with a smile: "I will die after practicing. If I don't practice, I will die now. Of course I have to practice! Su Mengzhen can't just spend her life on the hospital bed, I want to live! People mention Su Mengzhen after death. Name, I also know that he lived!"

Zhuge Anren laughed loudly and said: "It's not a blessing to lose one's horse. Master Su has this disease. He knows better than others that life is precious and love is hard to give up. It's not all a bad thing."

Wang Xiaoshi glanced anxiously at the two elder brothers who were sick, and sighed heavily, he really couldn't stop worrying.

"Mr. Su, please take a look." Zhuge An generously handed over his wrist and asked Su Mengzhen to feel his pulse. Su Mengzhen, who has become a doctor after a long illness and is a martial arts practitioner, knows the meridians very well, and he understands everything when he taps the pulse.

"I heard that the general lost all his internal strength to continue the life of the late emperor. In terms of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, Su is not as good as him." Su Mengzhen sighed.

Zhuge Anren frowned, "The matter has already spread outside."

Su Mengzhen pointed to his white hair, and said with a smile: "Everyone who should know knows." For example, the ministers of the court, the giants of the rivers and lakes, all major forces naturally know that Zhuge'an is weak now, and those who assassinate and poison people these days The frequency is even greater.If you don't know it, you don't know it. For example, ordinary people, do others still promote the qualities of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism for Zhuge'an people?

Zhuge'an ignored this, and said with a smile: "Mr. Su, do you think I can use lightness kung fu now?" Just now he picked flowers outside the door and used the later generation Wudang ladder cloud, which is the most typical lightness kung fu without using strength.

"I can't." Su Mengzhen frowned. People who don't know how to use light kung fu naturally don't know how to use light kung fu without internal strength. Estimate the height of the camellia tree outside the door. Su Mengzhen believes that he can't do it under such circumstances.

"So, sometimes without internal strength, the same effect can be achieved by relying on exquisite and accurate moves." This is the charm of precise science, which Zhuge'an only comprehended after three reincarnations.Zhuge An invites Su Meng to sit down at the desk and begins to explain his research on martial arts moves. Su Mengzhen can use more subtle moves and less internal energy, so that his meridians can last longer.Cough disease is naturally relieved and life can be prolonged.

The two talked lively, and Wang Xiaoshi could only serve tea and water. He is a typical "intuitionist", martial arts all depend on hard practice and epiphany, but he can't understand any "precision science".

After talking about his vision for martial arts, Zhuge Anren silently wrote a copy of the Tai Chi mental method to Su Mengzhen, "This is a set of gentle methods for nourishing the body and mind. It does not conflict with your martial arts. You should practice it."

Su Mengzhen had roughly read it when he was writing it. This is an exquisite and precise martial arts mentality, and the energy contained in it is self-evident.But Zhuge Anren just handed it over to him in such an understatement, not for other reasons, just saying "You should practice." What should be?Su Mengzhen took it with both hands, and thanked him solemnly.

Wang Xiaoshi, who is heartless and heartless, was very happy, and said with a smile: "Is the elder brother's body recovering?"

"Yeah, it's good to practice more." Zhuge Anren said with a smile.

"What about you, I even asked you." Wang Xiaoshi said.

"Of course I'm fine, it's just a matter of time." Zhuge Anren intended to maintain the current state more, which would help him understand martial arts.Empty the internal force at once would damage his meridians, but when the internal force is refilled, it will not only repair such damage, but also condense a more powerful skill.

"Great! Great!" Wang Xiaoshi turned three somersaults excitedly, and laughed loudly: "Let's celebrate, drink...cough cough, have a big meal!"

The Zhuge'an people have been in charge of them since they were young, and they are not allowed to drink too much. After chasing their lives, they can't control them later. These people who grew up together, when talking about drinking, they must first look at the Zhuge'an people's face.

"That's exactly what I mean, Xiao Shi, take Master Su to the living room first, and I'll come right after I change my clothes. It's really impolite to be disheveled for a long time." Zhuge'an didn't take Su Mengzhen seriously at that time, so naturally he wouldn't treat him seriously .

"You are welcome, General." Su Mengzhen is also a coquettish person, the two can exchange the most intimate martial arts experience, but their words are very unfamiliar.

The people of Zhuge'an have learned not to ask too much about the title. Some people call you the most popular title, but they can make sacrifices for you that the closest people can't do.

Because during the national mourning period, Zhuge Anren tied his hair with a white jade crown and changed into a gray-blue robe. He was low-key and plain. When he walked into the hall, he apologized to Su Mengzhen with a serious expression, "I can't talk with Su Zhuzhu today." Zhuge'an shook the letter in his hand, "The Liao army knocks at the side."

"What? How could it be at this time?" Wang Xiaoshi asked in surprise, Liao Junjin was scared by Zhuge'an's people, so why would he take the initiative to provoke?

"When the regime changes, there will always be turmoil, which is normal." The Zhuge'an people were quite open-minded. The late emperor had a great funeral, and according to the law, he could not mobilize troops for three years.

"No." Su Mengzhen frowned, "General, do you still remember that I said that you know everything you need to know about renewing the life of the late emperor. Anyone who practices martial arts knows that gray hair overnight is a sign of serious injury If you want to continue your life, you have to use all your internal strength to do it, and the Liao Kingdom also has martial arts masters, and they want to take advantage of it." To be precise, the Liao Kingdom had spies in the Great Song Dynasty, so they were able to learn the news so quickly.

"So what, I'm going back to the northern border anyway." Zhuge'an sighed, he was not afraid of war.

"I'm afraid these people won't fight in an upright manner." For the commander of an army, personal force is indeed dispensable. If you can't defeat him, kill him.And people always live in their bodies*, when people die, they lose everything.

"I'll send Brother An back to the north!" Wang Xiaoshi immediately asked, "Brother..."

"It's doable!" Su Mengzhen nodded, the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower is not bad for Wang Xiaoshi, the third floor owner, Zhuge'an is more important.

"Don't be busy, the government hasn't issued an order yet, everything is unknown." Zhuge'an persuaded them first.

"Except Brother An, who in the whole country can lead the army?" Wang Xiaoshi asked unconvinced.

At this moment, people from all over the house came to report that the eunuch of the palace had arrived and asked Zhuge An to go to the front hall.

Zhuge'an looked at the pale Su Mengzhen, and sighed: "I have the iron guards of the Zhenbei Army by my side... well, let Xiaoshi follow. I know that Master Su values ​​love and righteousness, and never doubts anyone, but The world is changing, and it is never wrong to be more defensive. Please speak lightly and deeply, and please don't blame Master Su."

Perhaps it was because Fu Zongshu fell too quickly, and Bai Choufei hadn't betrayed him yet, and they were still brothers who cared for each other.

"Thank you for the reminder, I will." Su Mengzhen was slightly taken aback, knowing that Zhuge Anren had good intentions, she clasped her fists in response.

Seeing Su Mengzhen's expression, Zhuge'an knew that he didn't take it to heart. They are just meeting each other for the first time, and they really get along with each other, but isn't Su Mengzhen and Bai Choufei's friendship very tacit?For one friend to suspect another friend, this is not something Su Mengzhen would do.

Zhuge'an entrusted Wang Xiaoshi to entertain Su Mengzhen, and left by himself.After he left, Su Mengzhen took out the Tai Chi mentality again, read it silently, and made sure that she had memorized it by heart, and shook the thin paper into flying dust in front of Wang Xiaoshi.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Wang Xiaoshi looked blankly at the white crumbs.

"General Zhuge treats me with sincerity, but I can't cause trouble for him. I have written down my thoughts, it's better not to take things back." It turned out that Su Mengzhen mistakenly thought that Zhuge'an people reminded him that there were spies from other forces around him.

Zhuge'an followed his servants into the palace, and the new emperor was also anxious for the Liao Kingdom. This was the first major event since he came to the throne. Zhang Dun and other ministers were there, as was the Queen Mother.

The new emperor was young and inexperienced in dealing with state affairs. When he encountered an emergency at the border, he was shocked and said hastily, "Send General Zhuge back to the northern border immediately!"

Empress Dowager Xiang said calmly, "Don't be in a hurry for the officials. For the important affairs of the country, the only thing to do is to sacrifice and be more cautious."

"Is there anything else to be cautious about? General Zhuge was afraid of the Liao Kingdom, and the Zhenbei Army has been led by him for many years. It is time for him to go." The emperor asked because he didn't understand, and he was hesitant to ask the queen mother for his favor, so he eased his tone Said, "What does Zhang Aiqing think?"

"The officials are determined to make progress, and the Empress Dowager also speaks solemnly." This is equivalent to saying nothing, "It's just that it is better for General Zhuge to return to the northern border. The late emperor had a great funeral, and according to the law, it is not allowed to use weapons rashly for three years. Now The only one who can deter the Liao Kingdom is General Zhuge."

"Master Zhang is right. I just heard that Master Zhuge is seriously ill and has been on leave for a few days. Can he lead the army... It's not that Aijia's words are not nice. Naturally, one wants to win a war."

The emperor thumped in his heart, and remembered why Zhuge An was sick. When he first saw Zhuge An's hair turned white all night, he thought it was caused by sadness. Later, he asked the people around him who were proficient in martial arts to find out, giving all the internal energy to another person. Risking their lives to continue their lives, how many people in the world regard martial arts more important than their lives.The emperor admired and envied Zhuge Anren for being able to do this for the emperor's brother, but also secretly blamed the emperor's brother for dragging Zhuge Anren down, making him unable to appoint him with confidence at this time.

"Whether you can lead the army or not, I'd better see General Zhuge. I've already passed it on." The emperor temporarily suppressed the controversy.

The emperor summoned him urgently, and Zhuge An didn't have time to dye his hair, so he just came in with his white hair.

Dressed in official uniforms, Zhuge'an came at the pace of dragons and tigers, and said in a military salute: "Your servant, Zhuge'an, visit the official family."

The emperor felt delighted when he saw Zhuge Anren, and the feelings of admiration and love at the beginning prevailed, so he quickly called out and briefly explained the situation.

"The country is in trouble. When the ministers and other generals are serving the country, please go out to fight." Zhuge'an clasped his fists and asked for a fight.

"That's what I mean too..."

"It's just that the privy envoys have always been in charge of the capital, and the officials don't want to violate the ancestral system." Interfaced to the Queen Mother.

Zhuge'an was silent and didn't answer, the atmosphere was silent for a while.

"Then what about according to the mother's opinion?" the emperor asked.

"General Zhuge is not in good health, and the late emperor was given a great funeral. It is still the middle of winter, so it is not suitable to fight. The Ai family is afraid that General Zhuge will not be able to do his best. He is not allowed to send a few more lieutenants, just to keep things safe." The Queen Mother never concealed herself. the goal of.

The emperor looked at Zhuge'an in embarrassment. The late emperor also took him to deal with political affairs when he was there. The military affairs of the northern border were in the hands of Zhuge'an, and the court did not send anyone to criticize him.

Zhuge Anren still didn't speak. Seeing his white hair, the emperor was somewhat convinced by the Queen Mother's reasons. Looking at the Queen Mother and the officials, they seemed to have a plan in mind.

Seeing that Zhuge An's people ignored him, the Queen Mother asked angrily, "What does General Zhuge think?"

Zhuge An was still silent.

"Why didn't General Zhuge answer my mother's question?" asked the emperor.

"Reporting to the official family, this is the Palace of Wende, where all major military affairs of the Song Dynasty are decided. The official family has already grown up and is in charge of the government, and there is no reason for the harem to listen to the government. It's because of the late emperor's funeral and the high status of the empress dowager. It's good for the minister not to speak, so why should the empress dowager answer when she asks questions?" Zhuge'an made a big splash and turned back without hesitation.

"How unreasonable! Rude man, dare to be rude to Ai's family. After three dynasties, Ai's family has been wronged like this, and you have to be blamed by your brat! Before the bones of the first emperor were cold, there were rebellious officials and thieves who insulted his mother. It is better to be with Ai's family." The late emperor went together, so he won't have to suffer this insult..." Empress Dowager Xiang was sobbing, her skin flushed purple.

"General Zhuge!" the emperor shouted sharply.

Zhuge Anren shook his head inwardly, the Empress Dowager Xiang was far behind the Empress Dowager Gao. "Officials, don't speak loudly if you are justified. What is the wrong sentence of the minister, please point out the crime of punishing the minister. The empress dowager also please don't make such a state of crying, making trouble, and hanging herself. The military and state affairs are not to be trifled with."

The emperor was in a dilemma. According to the etiquette and laws, the queen mother should not be in the Wende Palace. It's just that the emperor is newly enthroned.It's just that Zhuge An was impulsive and broke the window paper, but the emperor couldn't say he was wrong.At this time, the minister still has integrity, and he will not follow the monarch to point a deer into a horse.
