The Prequel of Baolian Lantern Konghouyin

Handan, Hongji Bridge.

In the winter of King Zhou Nan's 54th year, the north wind was bitter.In the early morning, there was fine snow, and pedestrians walking in twos and threes on the road were either wearing straw hats, or wrapping their bodies in light furs, or shrunk their shoulders and backs from the cold.The strange thing is that when Yang Jian walked with Cun Xin, he didn't meet a single man. Those who carried firewood, those who drove cattle and horses, and even those who sold all kinds of fruits, vegetables and meat in the market were all women.Yang Jian didn't look sideways, but Cun Xin looked around curiously, but the doubts in his heart were blown by the cold wind like a knife, so he didn't bother to ask.

Cun Xin has been in Sichuan for a long time, and she is not used to the bitter cold in Yanzhao, so she can't help complaining in her heart.But she was the one who proposed to see the snow scene in the north, and Yang Jian was rarely willing to go out for a walk with her, so her hands and feet were cold, and she still followed Yang Jian's footsteps, not daring to leave for a moment.

"Be careful, there is ice on the bridge." Yang Jian stopped his feet, waited for Cun Xin to follow, and gently supported her elbows to go up the bridge together.Cun Xin stepped on a pair of leather boots, still slipping step by step, until finally he was almost hanging on Yang Jian's arms, and finally "scraped" to the highest point of the arch bridge. At the moment, he was so tired that he was out of breath and said nothing. Ken went down.

Yang Jian shook his head invisibly, leaning on the railing to look at the Fuyang River under the bridge.The river is not wide, and at the moment it is frozen like a mirror. Across the river to the east, there is a faintly towering temple with majestic cornices and brackets.Yang Jian's eyesight was excellent, and when he saw the broken tiles on the temple and the overgrown weeds on the roof of the verandah, he couldn't help but muttered to himself, "Don't cut or cut down Fu Gantang, what Zhao Bo said... ..”

"What did you say?" Cun Xin approached and asked.

"Zhaogong Temple." Yang Jian raised his hand and pointed to the temple in the distance. "From here to the north, it was once the fiefdom of Zhaogong Jishi." Only when Cun Xin can't beat him, pick up some less bloody and cruel things and talk about them briefly.Cun Xin was not good at military affairs, so he got annoyed after hearing a few words, so he changed the subject.Now that 800 years have passed so quickly, many comrades of those years have turned into loess, and there is no one in the world who remembers them.Standing in the howling wind, Yang Jian thought back to the blood-boiling years of the army and horses, and couldn't tell whether it was emotion or sadness.

Cun Xin couldn't understand so much.She stared at the dilapidated temple, and then at Yang Jian. She couldn't understand why Yang Jian, who was calm just now, changed Qi Rong in an instant. She was thinking about it when she heard the sound of carriages and horses in her ear. A car with a green canopy was parked at the end of the bridge, probably because the road was covered with snow and it was too slippery. The two chrysanthemum horses tried their best but couldn't pull the car, and their tired nostrils were blowing white air.

The driver of the cart was a woman in red. Seeing that the horse was struggling, she hurriedly jumped out of the cart and pulled the reins to guide it forward, but it was still in vain. The horse's hoof dug a few shallow holes in the ice on the ground The car remained motionless.Cun Xin stared intently for a moment, then suddenly blurted out: "Fourth Sister!"

She left Yang Jian and rushed forward, but her feet slipped and she almost fell to the ground. It was Yang Jian who took her arm with a lunge and managed to stand still.When Cun Xin called out, Yang Jian also recognized that the driver was none other than Ao Tingxin, the Fourth Princess of the East China Sea whom he had not seen for a long time.

Ting Xin also saw them, but she couldn't care less about the greetings right now, she hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Why are you standing still, why don't you come help me?" , whispered: "There are still people in the car." As he said, he got off the bridge and grabbed the shaft of the car, but he didn't see how hard he was. He only felt that the car body slipped, and he easily led the horse on board. up the bridge deck.

Slowly crossing the bridge, Ting Xin was about to get on the car, only to see the curtain slightly lifted, revealing a big man's bony hand, but it was a middle-aged woman's voice inside: "Qin'er, I should thank this Young master." The fourth princess blinked, took out a few square-footed cloths from her waist and stuffed them for Yang Jian, and said with a smile: "Thank you, young master." Yang Jian didn't know why, but he didn't want to expose it, so he just nodded and took the money , and Cun Xin watched them go away.

"Yang Jian!" Seeing Ting Xin's car driving far away, Cun Xin broke free from Yang Jian's hand and said angrily, "Why would the Fourth Sister be so good-looking as a daughter? You won't let me ask!"

Yang Jian didn't answer this question, but looked down at the cloth money in his hand, only to see four seal characters engraved on it, the left said "ban釿" and the right said "plain". He smiled slightly and said, "Let's go, let's go to Dongwu City .”

"When it comes to tea tasting, the water from Wuyi Mountain is the best." Cun Xin picked up the earthen pot and refilled a cup of tea for Yang Jian.They had just stayed at the best inn in Tobu City, and Cun Xin brought water to make tea. After passing the water under their noses, they immediately felt that the taste was not good, and they wanted to ask someone to change it, but Yang Jian stopped them. "The water quality here is just like this, don't embarrass the owner." Yang Jian took a sip from the teacup and put it down again. He didn't like the taste either.

"I want to drink sweet water, I have enough to drink, so why come here?" Ting Xin from outside the door said, opened the door and came in, standing on the ground with a smile.

"Fourth Sister!" Cun Xin was so happy that she dropped her teacup and got up to greet her, "I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you here? Have you received the pear I sent to Donghai? My father's birthday is approaching, and I want you to help me Bring some gifts back to the West Sea!" She grabbed Ting Xin's hand, pressed it on the chair and smiled, "You're not in the East China Sea to organize the army, how did you come to this ghostly place? You have to tell me the truth!"

"Cunxin!" Yang Jian closed the door, and cast a spell to lower the sound barrier, then turned around and said, "You asked so many questions in one breath, how can the fourth princess answer?"

"Our sisters talk about themselves, if you don't like to listen, go out for a stroll!" Cun Xin glared at Yang Jian, sat down opposite Ting Xin, and took a good look at her: "If you don't tell me clearly today, I will I won't let you go back!"

"Are you going to interrogate me?" Ting Xin smiled, poured himself a cup of tea, and said calmly: "It's still my sister-in-law who wakes up and knows to come to Dongwu City to find me after seeing the money. If If I gave it to you, I’m afraid I won’t be able to figure it out in 1 years.”

"Then there are words on the money?" Cun Xin's eyes widened, she looked at Ting Xin and then at Yang Jian, with a confused expression on her face.

Ting Xin covered her lips and smiled for a while before saying: "I just said, ever since you followed him, you never go out with your brain."

"Isn't it the same when she was in Xihai?" Yang Jian shook his ink fan and chuckled.

"Of course it's different." The fourth princess said solemnly, "When Cun Xin was in Xihai, she was famous for being confused in small things and clear in big things. When one person trusts another to the extreme, he will have no plans in front of him and let him slaughter him."

Yang Jian's hand that was shaking the fan stopped, and he took the ink fan away for a while and said, "I'm going out for a walk, you guys chat slowly."

"Hey~" Ting Xin got up to stop her, "I'm here today, one is to meet with you, and the other is to have something to do, I want Zhenjun to help me find a way."
