Hypocrites

Climbing the stone hub is a fixed event of the festival, and everyone is very excited.But not many stood up, and the person who said he had climbed the last time did not see any movement.

Shen Yu came out wearing a black mask, his tall figure attracted the women's attention.Liang Heng held back his stomachache from laughing, and applauded him until his hands turned red.A few people went out to fight one after another, surrounded by Shi Shu, and there was a young man among them.Everyone wears masks, and they don't know each other.

The master of ceremonies said: "Okay, the competition will start immediately, listen to my orders—"

Whoever listened to him, immediately a man rushed up, and immediately the rest of the crowd rushed over, trampling the master of ceremonies under his feet.

The bonfire rises, sparks radiate, and the contestants step on the animal head relief, using both hands and feet, attached to the surface of the stone hub.At the beginning, I was very impulsive. You pushed and shoved, pulled your clothes and sleeves, and kicked a few people off while still below.Then go up, after passing a tree height, the fastest climbers will slow down and look down frequently, which seems to be a bit difficult to advance and retreat.

"It's too high! It looks like your legs are weak!"

"What if you fall?"

The crowd was discussing, when there was a loud shout, a person fell down, and a net was stretched underneath in time to catch him properly.

In the shadow of the high place, only three people continued. One of them, Liang Heng, was staring at Shen Yu.

But the first two reached the critical point of victory, and they started to fight, one of them tore out the other's hind legs, and shouted: "Go down!"

There was a click, and the hind leg was broken at the knee, and the man who pulled the leg fell into the net with his broken leg.

Everyone: "..."

The boy with a broken leg laughed loudly, and stretched out his hand to the top of Iroha's mask.Just at this moment, the wind blew up behind him, and a shadow passed over his head—it was Shen Yu who kicked off the animal head to take advantage of the force and jumped to a high place, flying flowers and leaves, and took the mask away from the man with the broken leg like a fleeting shadow .

The man with the broken leg gave a strange cry, kicked the animal's head with one leg, and flew up to snatch it, and immediately both of them deviated from Shishu.The audience exclaimed.

Liang Heng was also horrified, knowing that Shen Yu would not take any risks, he saw the two of them clinging to the relief to stop the fall, the man with the broken leg was so powerful, he used his hands to lift him up again, he was about to hook the mask in Shen Yu's hand, Shen Yu Yu immediately let go.

The mask fell off, and the two jumped off at the same time. They fought several times in the air, and changed positions twice, so quickly that the flames only showed afterimages.There were two bangs on the ground, Shen Yu fell into the net, while the man with the broken leg stood firmly outside the net, his extraordinary skill surprised everyone who lifted the net.

However, the man with the broken leg was empty-handed, but it was Shen Yu who got up, holding a mask decorated with three-colored eagle feathers in his hand.

The crowd applauded enthusiastically.

Because both of them covered their faces, they couldn't see their expressions, but the shoulders of the man with the broken leg trembled, and Liang Heng felt that he was going to die of anger.

The master of ceremonies gave a generous speech, announcing that this year's winner is Black Mask.The black mask left the stage, accompanied by applause and cheers all the way, and a few bright flowers were thrown from the crowd to greet him.When Shen Yu returned to sit next to Liang Heng, he had a red flower stuck in his hair, a yellow flower on his shoulder, and a little blue in his chest.

He took his time and cleaned up the peach blossoms all over his body.

Liang Heng laughed silently.

Shen Yu sat with his arms folded, Liang Heng leaned on him while laughing.When he calmed down, Shen Yu took out the colorful feather mask in his sleeve, and looked closely, it didn't seem to be a big deal, but there were a few dyed eagle feathers stuck to it.But Liang Heng was very happy, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart that Shen Yu could win a lot of glory, but he would return to him in the end.

"Try it!" Liang Heng urged Shen Yu to change into a mask, the colorful hair seemed to grow in his hair, and his appearance was very funny.Forget it, he put on himself and performed a few funny moves.Shen Yu smiled lightly, and the fireworks fell into the depths of his eyes.

Liang Heng looked at him through the hole.

Shen Yu's fingers got into the gap in the mask and lifted it up. Behind this humorous wooden face, the two exchanged a kiss.

Taste and stop.

"Is it sweet?" Liang Heng asked.

Breath tangled together.

Shen Yu smiled slightly: "Chestnuts are sweet."

Liang Heng pinched his face.

Wudi yelled loudly alone, and it sounded like thunder in his ears: "Hey! The surname is Shen! I knew it was you!"

The two separated like a fire.

But seeing the person shouting came hopping on one foot, he was obviously the brother who won the prize with Shen Yu in the end.

Liang Heng asked blankly: "How does he know your surname?"

Xiongtai was indignant, and he took off his mask. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, it was General Lin.No, Shen Yu obviously expected it, showing such an expression as expected.

A person from behind chased him with his artificial leg and shouted, "Your leg! Your leg!"

Unexpectedly again, it was Prince Liang Shizi Zhu.

Eight eyes facing each other, both aphasia.

We parted in the morning, one seemed to be going back to sleep, and the other declared that he was going to visit Linjiang City, but in the blink of an eye they met in the town market of Chaoguo on the North Bank.

Lin Zhu tied his tongue: "Your Majesty..."

"Must! I'm here to participate in the Fire Festival! It's really a fate to meet each other from thousands of miles away." Liang Zhu covered Lin Zhu's mouth.

This coincidence is really too humorous, Liang Heng said: "Well, do you two often travel between the north and the south?"

Lin Zhu waved Liang Zhu's slender arm away: "Don't talk about this, Shen Yu, you are really my good apprentice, and you actually used the flower-picking hand I taught you to steal my prize!"

"When did he become your master again?" Liang Heng asked.

"This morning," Shen Yu replied, throwing Caiyu's mask to Lin Zhu, "Thank you for letting me go."

Even though Lin Zhu felt that he couldn't save face, he was curious about the mask and couldn't put it down. Liang Zhu ordered him to sit down, squatted down and fitted him with prosthetic limbs.

The master of ceremonies of the ceremony came over and informed everyone that the lottery would be withdrawn.

"Are you kidding me!" Lin Zhu yelled, "Whoever gets what you say first gets it."

The master of ceremonies replied: "It doesn't matter who gets it first, but whoever gets it first wins. Every year the lottery is this mask, you took it away this year, what shall we do next year?"

He also said that the funds are limited, such as small business, please ask the guests to raise their hands.

In the end, he left a beautiful feather as a souvenir for Lin Zhu.All four of them couldn't laugh or cry.

On the ferry back to the south bank, because Liang Heng caught him straight, Liang Zhu had to admit that there were everyone in the relationship between the two sides in private. Today is the son of the southern Sichuan prince attending the Fire Festival, and tomorrow is Erzhu Camp. Who is it? General counselors come to the south to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Sometimes when I was walking on the road, I saw the person I was facing and felt familiar, and I thought about it carefully, didn't I see this **** on the battlefield last month?

There have been rumors of peace talks recently, and you come and go even more unscrupulously.It's just that they are all restricted to the market outside the city. Anyone who wants to enter the city will face strict investigations and beware of spying.

Liang Huang held a batch of lists in his hand, all those who were married or had friends with Bei'an were talked to by him and asked about the deployment of the city's military defense. It is expected that Erzhu would be the same, both sides knew each other thoroughly, so they had to stay put, the first mover would lose.

Only then did Liang Heng realize the complexity of the situation, and deeply felt that peace talks were the general trend and what the people wanted.

When we got back to the palace, Liang Huang was waiting in the front hall, Liang Zhu and Lin Zhu conspired to sneak out to play, as usual, they would be punished by family rules and military law, but because His Majesty was covering them this time, not only did they not even say a serious word , It was also praised that it was very good, very good, to take His Majesty to go deep into the people, appreciate the customs, and fish in troubled waters.

Liang Zhu and Lin Zhu wiped their sweat frequently.

Liang Huang handed over a letter to Shen Yu, saying: "Wang Cheng is here to envoy, hand it over to Mr. Shen."

On the silk cover, there is a vermilion seal printed on it, which depicts the Pavilion of Heavenly Prosperity. When you see the seal, you will see people. It is a letter from Duan Yanling.Unfolding the silk script, Liang Heng and Shen Yu gathered under the candle to read it, only to find that the person who wrote the letter was not Duan Yanling, and the person who received the letter was not Shen Yu—it was a memorandum written by Prime Minister Duan Boyu to Liang Heng.

The two looked at each other.

Shen Yudao: "Duan Yanling revealed the matter to the prime minister."

"Maybe..." Liang Heng knew his uncle's intelligence best, and said with shame, "Perhaps Duan Xiang had guessed it a long time ago. After all, Zhang Yi Palace has not seen me for a while."

The table details the pros and cons of Zhuo Shui's war and peace, and attaches the grain and grass tax and young and strong military service filled out by the soldiers every year. The four towns in southern Sichuan can still be self-sufficient in leisure time, and the treasury allocates one-twelfth of it. Up to four out of ten.Moreover, the elderly, weak, women and children in the four towns need to be evacuated, how to arrange it is another matter.What's more important is the timing. It coincides with the flood season of the Zhuojiang River. If the water rises at the critical moment of the battle, the Fuyang River will flood and flow upstream, and the villages and towns along the way will suffer. Not to mention whether they can afford the military supplies of the four towns. Natural and man-made disasters.

Therefore, it is not only best not to fight in summer, but also to ask His Majesty to supervise the construction of the river along the Fuyang River, and not to cut corners in order to deal with the upstream flood.

We must know that when the first emperor was in power, whenever there was a flood and famine, he would be told to send disasters from the sky to warn the world, please reflect on yourself and so on.Seeing this, Liang Heng was dizzy.

At the end, Duan Boyu asked the emperor to give Zhu Zhu's approval, and this form can be filed in Shangshutai to show that the peace talks are the result of the unified opinions of the monarch and his ministers.

Liang Heng was touched and said: "Uncle is cleaning up the mess for me, so as not to make an alliance agreement, and be accused by the three generals of the doctor for abusing power."

Ancestors are not ancestors, but parents are still biological parents, and uncles are also biological uncles.Liang Heng took the pen and wrote "Yu Yiyi", which was brightly embellished at the end of the watch, so he finally had no worries in his heart.

At that night, they agreed with Liang Huang to return to the north and choose the location on the Zhuojiang River. At that time, the two banks will be blocked and the river will be empty, leaving only one boat.Still Liang Huang came forward to meet Hu Lulan.

On the day of the alliance, the sky was blue like rain, and the water was thin and smoked.There are no boats on the Zhuojiang River for thousands of miles, only the crowing of monkeys and cranes on both sides of the river are heard, and there is no one inhabited.

Liang Huang was on the first floor, and Liang Heng and Taiwei were on the second floor. Looking from the window, the ripples on the water surface were faint.Not long after, I saw a boat breaking through the waves and coming slowly. There was a person standing on the bow of the boat, and he was holding an umbrella for him to avoid the rain.

coming.Liang Heng watched the envoy to Beijing silently.

After getting on the boat and closing the umbrella, the man raised his head slightly, showing his face—"Huh?" Liang Heng was surprised.

"What?" Shen Yu followed him.

"This man." Liang Heng was about to take a closer look at Hu Lulan's face, but he had already entered the cabin, "Isn't this the man who went to the theater together at the Fire Festival?"

At that time, Dao was just an ordinary young literati from Chao State, and he enthusiastically explained Nuo opera to him for a while. When Shen Yu came back, the man had left early, so he never saw him.

On that day, he was dressed in ordinary clothes, and he would not be seen among the crowd. Today, he has wide sleeves and a belt, his skirts are flying, his jade face is smiling, and he looks like a good-looking man.In the Nuo opera, Zhu Yijiao, who plays the role of Hulu family, can't match the demeanor of the deity.

"We met by chance, he probably doesn't know me either?" Liang Heng thought again.

Shen Yudao: "Have you ever talked to him?"

Liang Heng savored his tone, blame did not seem to blame, vigilance did not seem to be vigilant, a sour air.Immediately smiled, hooked his fingers, and joked: "Hey, you're not here, why don't you let me communicate with others?"

"Nothing." Shen Yu's face remained calm, but his fingers were entangled with Liang Heng.

The three Taiwan guards were expressionless, and they were used to it.

Liang Huang's voice came from the first floor. The two sides met each other. Hu Lulan presented the letter of credence and was about to read it out.
