Han Xingzhao Iron Clothes

prisoners of war.The hands and feet of the prisoner of war were tied with thick iron chains, and his jacket was shattered by the whip, revealing his strong muscles and several scars.Even though he was in a mess, he still stared at the crowd angrily, showing no sign of submission.

Yang Bangjie asked, "Is he making trouble alone? I wonder how big the trouble is."

The official in charge of the fortification said, "General Qi, you don't know that this guy tried to escape every day, relying on his own strength, injured several brothers, and destroyed a lot of materials. If this guy was used in the past, I've already killed him with a knife." After finishing speaking, he still clasped his fists and looked at Yang Bangjie, which meant: The current trouble is caused by your inexplicable order, General, not to kill prisoners of war indiscriminately.

Yang Bangjie was embarrassed by him, and he didn't say anything, but Wang Li paid attention.Seeing that the prisoner of war looked a little like Yang Bangjie between his eyebrows, his heart skipped a few times, and he said to Yang Bangjie, "It's not easy to deal with just this one person making trouble? Meng Xuan, leave this person to me." !"

Yang Bangjie originally wanted someone to kill the prisoner of war, but he was afraid that Zheng Yicheng would be unhappy if he found out, so he was happy to let Wang Li deal with it, "Just take it away."

Then Wang Li turned around and said to the soldiers, "Send him to my tent at night, remember to shave his beard and wash him inside and out before sending him over."

Wang Li's soldiers all knew the commander's flirtatious temperament, and they hugged beauties all day long to have fun.I couldn't help laughing secretly, how could General Guide suddenly want to try masculinity, and still speak so harshly?

The prisoner's face turned green when he heard it, and he couldn't help shouting, "Scholar can't be killed..." Before he could finish his sentence, Wang Li slapped him on the head, and he fainted immediately.

Wang Li said to his soldiers, "Take people away, you need to be taught about such a trivial matter." Then he said to Yang Bangjie, "Meng Xuan, let's go, I will accompany Jin to see General Huo."

Yang Bangjie said with a smile, "Just now you looked like a king of the mountains who robbed civilian men."

Wang Li said casually, "I'm here to relieve your worries, and you're still laughing at me, King of the Mountain? Maybe you can put a little star by your side, so I won't be allowed to sleep with a man?"

Yang Bangjie teased him and said, "I thought you would look for that kind of girl. I remember that [-]% of the camp prostitutes you sent over were of that kind."

"Change your taste!" Wang Li was afraid that Yang Bangjie would find out the reason, so he hurriedly found other topics to cover up and said, "Meng Xuan, if General Huo scolds badly later, you have to speak for me."

"of course."

The two came all the way to Huo Zhiping's tent, and saw Wang Li salute with a smiley face and said, "Uncle is well, my nephew greets you."

"I'm almost not mad at you, say you're well, get up!" Huo Zhiping waved him to get up, although he said he was angry, but his face was very happy.

Wang Li took a peek with his eyes, and knew that his leaving his post without authorization was really not a hindrance in Huo Zhiping's eyes, so he said with a smile, "My nephew came here like this, just to relieve your worries. Anyway, the person you sent to help my nephew Those personnel are formidable, nothing serious will happen.”

"If you were born to me, you would definitely be beaten if you did such a thing. You will be thirty next year, what people say is [-] years old! Why are you still so frizzy? I know the friendship between you and Bangjie Profound, but you can't just leave your job aside without saying a word..."

Although Huo Zhiping didn't take it seriously, he still had to scold Wang Li logically and scold him a few words.After scolding, there is still nothing to do with this nephew, and he still entrusts the North Route Army to him.Seeing that Wang Li stayed in the camp for a few days, and before leaving, he asked Yang Bangjie for some prisoners of war, and then went to the north to set off.

After this battle, Nanyak was severely injured, the [-] army was wiped out, and the commander disappeared, so he had to temporarily suspend his troops.Huo Zhiping took advantage of Nanyak's recuperation to implement the financial reform measures proposed by Linghutu and Zheng Yicheng in the three towns of Longxiang, Nanchuan, and Boyu.

On the southern Yak border, generals such as Wang Li, Yang Bangjie, Wu De, and Song Yuan dispatched irregular numbers of soldiers to harass them.The location is changeable and the tactics are inconsistent, making the Nanyak exhausted and ignoring it, but the Shu army will really plunder wantonly, taking advantage of the poor defense, and encroaching on several cities.

Nanyak Xinjun was not someone who would not fight back when he was beaten. He launched several offensives in a row, but he was almost lost, and the defensive layout of the Shu army had been perfected.Naturally, the result was repeated battles and repeated defeats. In the past two or three years, after several battles, the national strength of Nanyak has naturally deteriorated day by day.

Huo Zhiping, Yang Bangjie and others were not idle during the period of using troops against the Southern Yak. While performing military exercises and implementing reforms, they also encountered some troublesome incidents.

The Nanyak war came to an end, and the imperial court sent envoys to offer rewards. This battle was won only after a small defeat.After the merits and demerits were equalized, Yang Bangjie only received some silver rewards, but he did not get promoted.Yang Bangjie himself thinks it's nothing. If it wasn't for Huo Zhiping's support all the way, it would be quite rare for him to be a strong military general under the fourth rank at his age, and also the deputy envoy of Boyu Jiedu.

However, after the young green-robed official had finished announcing the decree, he asked everyone to be dismissed. He pulled Yang Bangjie secretly and said, "Your official, Feng Shu, has heard of General Yang's reputation for a long time in the court, so I can take advantage of the opportunity to announce the decree." It was a pleasure to meet you."

Yang Bangjie didn't understand what he meant, so he had to politely say, "Your official, you are too polite. This general is just in the honor of General Huo, so there is no such thing as a high reputation."

Feng Shu eagerly took Yang Bangjie's hand and said, "The general defeated the many with less, and defeated the 20 troops of the Southern Yak with more than [-] men. I really admire such illustrious military exploits."

Yang Bangjie frowned and guessed that the 20 army was the result of the Ministry of War or Huo Zhiping's false report of military exploits.I still don't know what it will be like to be passed down by those people in the court, a fierce general with one against ten?

Feng Shu lowered his volume and whispered again, "If it wasn't for the covetous people in the court who calculated the trivial matter of the general luring the enemy deep and accidentally being trapped, General Yang would be able to wear the purple robe. The subordinates are really sorry for General Yang."

Yang Bangjie was already on guard, but when he heard what Feng Shu said, he couldn't help expressing his heart, "Brother Feng's words are wrong! We, as courtiers, want to share the worries and labors of the Holy One, why should we care about personal honor or disgrace? What's more, the money rewarded this time is quite generous, and the brothers have also received the emperor's gift, so I am very grateful, where did the grievance come from?"

After listening to Feng Shu with a smile, he still said, "General Yang is loyal to the country, and everyone knows it. The second prince can still sympathize with General Yang's feelings of loving the people like his son and treating his fellow robes like brothers and sisters, so he specially ordered his subordinates to prepare Beef and fine wine are labors. It’s just that the officials came here alone, how to buy these things? They must be converted into silver, please ask General Yang to order the cook to do it for you. I am also grateful for the general’s concern for the country, so I specially prepared this..."

As Feng Shu said, he went out and called his servants to fetch a long box. When he took the lid off, it turned out to be a precious sword.As soon as the sword is out of its sheath, you can feel the cold light, and the fresh air is overwhelming.

Feng Shu put away the sword, held it in front of Yang Bangjie and said, "The so-called 'Sword for Heroes' is a sword forged by the famous craftsman Ou Zuoxing. The general should know that this Ou Zuoxing is a descendant of Ou Yezi, a master swordsmith in the Warring States Period. Everyone It is said that the sword he forged can not only cut gold and cut jade, but also have spirituality. If the master can subdue this sword, if the enemy attacks at night, the sword will come out of its sheath to protect the master.”

Yang Bangjie said with a smile, "This sword is indeed a treasured sword, but it has been passed down to be something strange." He stared at the sword, but refused to take it.

He hesitated in his heart, this guy was originally sent by the second prince to show his favor, and the second prince Xu Chongqi and the crown prince Xu Chongsi were fighting for the throne, and the tide was raging.The emperor's favorite is actually the second prince, but the prince is not at fault, and the idea of ​​cutting the feudal clan has won the support of a group of civil servants.If this gift is accepted, and outsiders know about it, and a foreigner will be charged with befriending the prince and committing misconduct, then everyone will be executed.If he doesn't accept it, he will offend the second prince, and if he wins the position in the future, he will definitely not please him.

Yang Bangjie was hesitating when he saw that Feng Shu took out another scroll from the sword box, unfolded it in front of Yang Bangjie and said, "Please look, general, this is the authentic work of Gu Changkang's "Picture of Making Qin". The second prince heard that the general's wife is a talented person. Proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It happened that I bought this painting with a lot of money, and I immediately thought of Mr. Zheng."

Yang Bangjie was secretly startled, the second prince had very long ears, although he did not hide the matter with Zheng Yicheng from the soldiers in his army, he also ordered that it should not be spread indiscriminately, all he said was that Zheng Yicheng was recruited into the shogunate.With a thought in his mind, he smiled and said to Feng Shu, "These things are too precious, and I dare not accept them. It's just that this picture was not given to me, and I can't refuse it for him. It's up to me." Pass it over to Mr. Zheng. As for the other things, the second prince's kindness has been appreciated, please thank the second prince on behalf of Bangjie."

Seeing that Yang Bangjie was willing to accept the painting, Feng Shu said happily, "Everyone says that General Yang is incorruptible and self-respecting, and that he loves his wife. Seeing it now, it's true."

The two talked a lot more falsely, then Feng Shu left slowly, and when Yang Bangjie turned around to return the tent, he headed towards Huo Zhiping's camp.Yang Bangjie returned to the tent, immediately called Zheng Yicheng to discuss and said, "Zixin, this matter is troublesome, what should we do?"

(41) Mysteries of secret language

Holding Gu Kaizhi's "Picture of Making Qin", Zheng Yicheng couldn't stop admiring and said, "Meng Xuan, look at the lines of this character's clothes, which are thin and straight; Practice. The painting is about making Qin, and the characters break the board, make the strings, and test the piano, each with their own posture, which is very appealing to me.”

Yang Bangjie didn't understand a word, but from Zheng Yicheng's expression, he knew that he liked the painting very much, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows and asked, "Do you like it?"

Zheng Yicheng put away the scroll, put it on Yang Bangjie's case, and said with emotion, "If you like it, you should give it back to others as soon as possible! Since ancient times, few people have succeeded in fighting for the throne. The crown prince has a group of civil servants to help him, which is not so good. shake."

Yang Bangjie pulled Zheng Yicheng, and the two of them took off their boots and sat on the couch together, whispering to each other.After all, what I will talk about next is extremely secretive. If it gets out, it might lose my head.

Yang Bangjie put his arms around Zheng Yicheng and said in a low voice, "The prince's attitude towards us foreign officials is not very friendly. You and I have offended Wu De again. I'm afraid that when the prince ascends the throne in the future, our life will not be easy. The second prince is waiting for an opportunity to buy people's hearts, maybe If there are people who take refuge with him, the emperor dotes on him, if he does not accept him, he is afraid of offending the second prince."

Zheng Yicheng was quite surprised, and couldn't help but whispered, "Speaking of which, you actually support the second prince?"

Yang Bangjie pulled Zheng Yicheng to his body, and said in his ear, "I don't like the prince, but the second prince loves himself and shows his sharpness, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to accomplish anything."

"If you can see through this point, others can see through it too. In my opinion, it's better not to accept this gift. If you are afraid of offending others, I can accept it and give him back two calligraphy and paintings. It's considered as a friend through writing. If you are held accountable in the future, you can just push it on me."

"I thought the same way at first, so I was willing to keep this painting. Later, I thought it was not good. Now I want to return it, I'm afraid it's a bit strange."

"Meng Xuan, that's how I look at it. The crown prince relies on his orthodoxy, and that proposition is indeed justified in a world of peace, but it's a pity that this is a chaotic world. The second prince relies on the emperor's favor, and his momentum is huge, but...the two are competing for the position, and they must be drawn together. People, don't express your position too quickly. You only need to build your own strength and stand on the sidelines, are you afraid that they will not flatter you?"

Yang Bangjie hesitated for a while, then said in a low voice, "If the crown prince really gained power and showed us his knife, then wouldn't I be helping a tiger?"

Zheng Yicheng laughed softly, "You've been talking to me for a long time, but you actually want to talk about something else?" Yang Bangjie neither likes the prince nor is optimistic about the second prince, so he must be hoping to find another way out.

"It's really hard to say."

Zheng Yicheng sat in Yang Bangjie's arms, clinging to him with his hands, looking like he was about to be intimate, he lowered his voice and said slowly, "When encountering this situation in ancient and modern times, either raise the enemy to be self-respecting, or support other princes, or At once……"

Zheng Yicheng didn't say the rest of the words, but Yang Bangjie could also understand what he wanted to say: in the last resort, he can support Huo Zhiping or become king himself, no matter which one is, it is a big treasonous thing.

Yang Bangjie's heart skipped a beat, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He turned over and pressed Zheng Yicheng down, kissed him lightly, and whispered in his ear, "You are bold enough to say these words."

Zheng Yicheng pressed Yang Bangjie on his body, and still said softly, "Don't you think so too? Otherwise, the Fourth and Seventh Princes can also consider it..."

Yang Bangjie frowned and said, "Don't grind around, talk seriously." He left Zheng Yicheng and sat aside, a small tent was obviously set up on the bottom of his trousers.

Zheng Yicheng laughed in a low voice, "I think you might as well ask General Huo what he means, and you can also contact General Guide to give gifts during the festival to find out the meaning of nearby towns. Be sure to keep your actions secret, don't let anyone else know." What an excuse for forming a party for personal gain."

"Furthermore, Wu De is quite interesting. He was born as a companion of the prince, and he was placed in the capital to help the prince. With his soldiers sent here, the effect is not that great. If the prince sent him to restrain him Yes, it’s not like that, maybe someone was worried about the crown prince’s position and let it go. If you can find out who’s idea is, you can also exchange information..."

Yang Bangjie said, "It was the emperor's idea that Wu De came to help. General Huo asked for more reinforcements, and the emperor let him come without saying a word."

Zheng Yicheng sighed, looked at Yang Bangjie indifferently, and felt that the emperor was too partial to the second prince.Yang Bangjie took his hand and got up and said, "Let's go, let's meet General Huo first."

The two of them told about the fact that Feng Shu made friends with the second prince on behalf of the gift, and then asked Huo Zhiping whether he had any intention of becoming the world leader.Huo Zhiping refused to express his position, but said, "If you like those things, you can accept them without discrimination, and if you don't want to be contaminated, then don't accept them all. Just remember everything is right and proper."

Not two days after I finished speaking, the Fourth Prince, Seventh Prince, and Eighth Prince all sent people to give gifts, or they said they were laborers, or they brought antique calligraphy and paintings to ask for Zheng Yicheng's calligraphy and painting. , Naturally, I did not forget to feel sorry for Yang Bangjie, and added a few bad words about the prince by the way.Yang Bangjie accepted Huo Zhiping's words without hesitation.

Not long after, it was the Spring Festival again, and there were even more people coming and going to socialize.Giving gifts during festivals is more justifiable than those excuses for laboring and asking for calligraphy and painting. Yang Bangjie is the deputy Jiedu envoy in name, and the celebrity around Huo Zhiping. Naturally, the town officials do not forget to show their favor to this second leader.

Yang Bangjie didn't refuse either. Except for a few treasures of digital paintings and Zheng Yicheng who stayed by his side, he asked him to exchange all the others for money as military expenses.He used the money to reward the soldiers under him; he made many fish-scale armor and mountain armor to improve the armor rate of the army;

According to Yang Bangjie's words, "It's all the fat and anointing of the people. If you don't take it for nothing, you don't take it for nothing. It's better to use the money to buy some equipment for the sons and daughters, so as to protect the country and the people."

Zheng Yicheng wanted to stop him, but he also knew that corrupt officials were rampant these days, and being a clean official would not be a big deal.So he was happy to exchange his calligraphy and paintings for treasures worth hundreds of times, and then sell them to enrich the force of Yang Bangjie's army.

In this way, there will be more literati who know that Zheng Yicheng is under Yang Bangjie's curtain. In addition, his deeds of assisting Yang Bangjie to defeat many with less and defeat Nanyak, combined with the story of a child prodigy in Benzhou when he was young, Zheng Yicheng became a A topical figure in Kuizhou.

Lieutenant Huo Zhiping, who knew about his affairs with Yang Bangjie, had to add a few words about seductiveness and selling himself for glory; those who didn't know, either admired, envied, or envied, Zheng Yicheng couldn't have heard these rumors, but he Be deaf to the wind, and forget it when you hear it.

After the morning meeting that day, Linghutu passed a piece of paper to Zheng Yicheng, which was Biyunchunshu paper.The owner of the letterhead is Hou Chi, a famous scholar in Kuizhou, imitating the handwriting of Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface", and invited Zheng Yicheng to participate in the elegant collection of Qushui Liushang during the season of offering sacrifices.

Linghutu said, "Brother Zixin should know about Hou Dingheng's reputation in Kuizhou. The Hou family was very prominent in the Daxuan Dynasty, but in today's troubled times, they are guarding the property passed down from their ancestors. It’s impressive, and still has some local strength. You might as well go and win over these literati for General Huo and General Yang.”

Zheng Yicheng pinched the piece of paper and asked cautiously, "Mr. Nanze is not going?"

Linghutu stroked his beard and said, "Ten years earlier, I might have had that enthusiasm, but now I'm old. You young people can just play by themselves, I don't have that kind of thought."

Looking at Linghu Tu, Zheng Yicheng suddenly felt that he had aged a lot in just a few months. He was afraid that his shocked expression would be seen, so he said hesitantly, "This... I have never met him..."

Linghutu smiled and said, "Hou Dingheng loves to make friends with famous people. I know you are in Kuizhou, and I have asked someone to look for me several times. I must invite you to attend. Just go at ease!"

Holding the letter paper, Zheng Yicheng was so excited that he couldn't speak for a moment.Linghutu could quite understand his thoughts, after all, as a scholar, he would always have some thoughts of chant the wind and make fun of the moon.Zheng Yicheng had a rough background, he had been in the army for many years, and he had a relationship with Yang Bangjie. The literati in the shogunate didn't like to talk to him, and he had never experienced those romantic and elegant things.How could he not be tempted to be invited by a celebrity from this state now?

After the numerous military affairs came to an end, Zheng Yicheng took a moment to discuss with Yang Bangjie in the evening.Yang Bangjie caressed his neck and said happily, "Anyway, Xiangwu County is only two days away from here. The roads have been opened, and there are no dangers. There is only a small hill to climb. You can make some friends with peace of mind. Otherwise, if you tell me those poems or something, I’m afraid you’re just playing the piano to a cow.”

When Zheng Yicheng heard the word "friend", his eyes turned red immediately, he stroked Yang Bangjie's chest and said, "Is there such a caring big stupid cow like you?"

Yang Bangjie put his arms around him and said softly, "Don't make such an expression, you should be happy when you go to play!"

"Meng Xuan..." Zheng Yicheng pulled Yang Bangjie by the lapel, wanted to ask him to go with him, but felt that it would not be good to harm the public by selfishness, so he was hesitating, but Yang Bangjie could tell by his expression.

Yang Bangjie said, "I really want to accompany you, but I have already made an appointment with Uncle Han to send troops at the same time on the first day of March. Although it is only to invade the southern Yak border, it will take ten and a half months to go, so I have to wrong you."

Zheng Yicheng widened his eyes and said, "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter earlier? Why didn't you take me with you when you were going on an expedition? I immediately rejected Hou Dingheng." After finishing speaking, he thought of getting a pen before the case.

Yang Bangjie hugged him tightly, not letting him move, "Listen to me, Mr. Nanze and I both think that you should go out and contact outsiders more. There were many wars a while ago, so it's fine if you can't get away. Now you are threatening Now that it’s gone, it should be adjusted. What’s more, you are from this state, don’t you want to go back to your hometown to have a look?”

Zheng Yicheng said, "Aren't you busy all day long? Once the battle is over, you start to be busy with fortifications. Before the fort is finished, you have to find time to send troops to the south, and you can't rest for a day. I'll go out with the army, and we'll go back to my hometown some other day to have a look. Wenhui or something is secondary."

Yang Bangjie frowned and said, "Before I said I was going to go to war, the look on your face was full of joy. Just take it as a way to help me see if there are any talents I can recruit, how about that?"

Although Yang Bangjie couldn't appreciate the fun of these gatherings, he could also see that Huo Zhiping's advisers didn't want to see Zheng Yicheng.So he either bury his head in the paperwork, or inspect the construction site. When he is bored, he even takes the initiative to learn swords and fists. In the past, this is extremely rare.

Yang Bangjie saw it in his eyes, felt pain in his heart, and finally made Zheng Yicheng willing to put down his work and contact outside scribes.

Before the army set off, Yang Bangjie specially left a team of personal soldiers as Zheng Yicheng's guards, and then he led 50 cavalry to attack.The number of soldiers in a team is 40 according to the establishment. After deducting the empty space that was eaten up, there will be roughly three to [-] people.But the team of personal soldiers he left behind this time was full.

When Zheng Yicheng thought that these fifty burly men were going to walk with him, he couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb.Seeing that Yang Bangjie had gone far away, he said to the soldiers, "Everyone should leave! Why do you need so many people to follow you to participate in an elegant gathering?"

But I saw the Renyong captain named Lin Zu saying, "Mr. Zheng, the general made a special statement before leaving. No matter what you say, we have to follow. If you let you act without permission, you will interrupt us when you come back." If anything goes wrong, our heads will be cut off. If you can protect your security and advance to the first level, you can take it easy!"

Zheng Yicheng frowned and said, "How can all these people stay at the top together? It is enough for me to bring four or five brothers with strong skills to follow me."

Lin Zu said with a smile, "We can stay in the inn. The general has written the document himself. Just rest assured, sir. Although the southern barbarians won't come, after all, it's after the war. It's always safer to bring more people."

Zheng Yicheng saw that he couldn't get rid of this group of soldiers, so he had to say, "You can follow along, but when I go to the man's house, you can only wait outside, otherwise people will think I am here to raid the house."

Lin Zu said, "This point of propriety is still known to the humble, so I will follow you at that time."

Zheng Yicheng reluctantly agreed, leading fifty soldiers in disguise along the way, no matter how you look at it, it feels like a march, not a distraction.

However, Lin Zu’s words are indeed not unreasonable. The land bordering Kuizhou and Nanyak has experienced the torment of war. Although the residents who fled have returned home one after another to resume farming, there are still [-] to [-]% vacant households.Once bandits appeared in the territory, they were either suppressed or recruited, and they were forcibly incorporated into the army. There was no major disturbance, but there were still many thieves, beggars, and refugees.

When Zheng Yicheng rode Snow Shadow and passed those ragged and skinny refugees, he secretly rejoiced that although he had experienced many hardships, he was always protected by someone. appearance.Thinking about how the people in the territory should settle down, many emotions lingered in his chest, and he had no time to think about Yang Bangjie's battle situation for a while.

After another day, we entered Xiangwu County, which was already some distance from the border. The city walls were intact, most of the farmland had been recultivated, and there were still some people coming and going in the market. This is a rare peaceful scene in this chaotic world.The small town is full of spring, and the colorful colors are really beautiful.

Zheng Yicheng watched the scenery along the way, but his melancholy became more and more intense. He saw a clump of bloody red azaleas blooming in the corner of a house, and he couldn't help but feel emotional, and almost burst into tears.And the group of Qiu Ba behind him didn't know what he was sentimental at all, but just followed Yang Bangjie's instructions, "Follow Mr. Zheng closely outside, and keep your eyes on his every move, so as not to make any mistakes", followed step by step, Zheng Yicheng felt embarrassed even if he wanted to cry.

On the day of enshrinement, Zheng Yicheng paid a visit to Hou Shi, and then went outing with the others and came to the bank of Yuanbi River to repair the temple.The soldiers also disguised themselves as pedestrians traveling in spring and followed Zheng Yicheng.In the afternoon, everyone went back to Hou Chi's mansion. The mansion had been well-arranged a long time ago. Hou Chi moved from somewhere to repair several clumps of bamboo, and displayed them along the pavilions and rivers. There was even a group of singing girls playing music across the bank.Near the water, there are several square embroidered felts on the floor, and some tea and fruit are placed on the low table, so that everyone can sit in a row at will.

In the early thirties of Hou Chi's year, he was dressed in amber brocade embroidered with dark cloud patterns, wide shirt and big sleeves, imitating the style of the famous Wei and Jin scholars who praised the clothes and belts. It’s been a long time since I’ve been arty today, and it’s a great honor to invite you here. Especially today we have two new friends, Lu Huanzhai and Zheng Zixin, who are well-known talents in Kuizhou…”

Several people who were familiar with Hou Chi at the table interrupted him and said, "Brother Dingheng's introduction is too late! We have been talking for a long time."

"Brother Dingheng, save the polite words!"

Hou Chi didn't take it seriously, and after everyone laughed, he said, "In today's troubled times, I have to ask you to submit to my humble house. Although there are no "high mountains and high mountains" here, there are "luxuriant forests and bamboos", "clear streams and rapids, reflecting "Left and right", just like the gathering of "Liu Shang Qu Shui" in Lanting, and "talk about the quiet feelings" with everyone."

Another person named Yuan Xi said with a smile, "From Brother Dingheng's point of view, I'm afraid the show has already been planned."

Hou Chi laughed and said, "Naturally, I need to compose poems for the beautiful scenery on a good day. My younger brother wants to use Wing Chun as the theme of the time of sacrifice, and link it with everyone."

Yuan Xi asked again, "Poetry must be written, but I don't know how to order it?"

Lu Hui cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I just have a suggestion, why don't you drink this song of water, and when the wine glass stops in front of that person, ask him to compose a poem, as the saying goes, 'One glass, one chant'!" .

Everyone said, "Brother Huozhai's suggestion is very interesting!" Then they asked, "I don't know what rhyme to use?"

Hou Chi pointed to a singing girl playing the pipa and said, "Just say one word."

The geisha didn't know what she meant, so she could only say, "Then it's the 'day' in spring!"

Everyone said, "I just want to talk about the rhyme of the entering tone." Generally speaking, the flat tone rhyme is used in most poems, and the oblique tone is rarely used.

Seeing everyone's reaction, the singing girl couldn't help asking, "Is this word bad? Do you want me to say it again?"

Hou Chi laughed and said, "The four-quality rhyme is the four-quality rhyme! It's just a test of everyone's skills. Since I am the host, I have to start with a few sentences."

Everyone laughed and said, "That's exactly the reason! If brother Dingheng can't do it, he will be punished with three glasses of wine."

Hou Chi asked the maid to study the ink and spread the paper. After four sentences, he pondered and said, "My heart is envious of the song cup, and the Lanting plays in the spring. Invite the king to pass the tea house, and stay in the open room."

Yuan Xi said with a smile, "The beginning of the story is mediocre, but it fell into a cliché."

Hou Chi also laughed and said, "It's because I'm afraid that everyone won't be able to pick it up." He ordered the maid to pour wine upstream and put the wine glass in the running water.Just watch the wine glass go down the meander and stop in front of Yuan Xi.

Hou Shi smiled and said, "Quickly answer it! Now I want to listen, what good words can you answer."

Yuan Xi stroked his beard and frowned, and uttered a few words for a long time, "The wet moss slides on the clogs, and the soft grass is low." Then he asked the maid to release the glass.Then came Shen Lin's joint sentence, "A magpie's joy and words are in pairs, but the flowers are not one."

Then it was Lu Hui's turn. He drank the wine with a handful of hands, and said brightly, "The smoke is thick and the mountains are roasting, and the springs are broken and the water is pounding."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "There is a cup of water in front of you, where did you get the tea from?" Lu Hui pointed to the tea set on the low table and said, "Isn't it?"

Zheng Yicheng sat at the side, watching everyone talking and laughing quietly, and didn't know what to say. He didn't want the wine glass to stop in front of him, so he picked up the wine glass and said a few words, "Don't hang on to the ladle, you can move the book Chi."

Before everyone commented, the second wine glass stopped in front of Zheng Yicheng.Zheng Yicheng smiled and said, "What's going on? You want me to keep talking."

Hou Shi laughed and said, "Brother Zixin was silent for a long time, this wine glass has spirituality, I want you to speak more!"

Zheng Yicheng had no choice but to say, "It's quite tolerant of woodcutters and hermits, how can I hear Zen and law."

Yuan Xi said, "Okay! Meet the situation in front of you!" The maid pursed her lips and snickered, but she saw that the wine glass had just been put away, and stopped in front of Hou Shi.Everyone said, "You think you'll be fine if you sit on the top, but this wine glass really has spirituality."

Hou Shi smiled and chanted, "If you don't seek sparse bamboo, the vines will be denser." He also said, "This wine glass is weird. Could it be that someone has tampered with it?"

Zheng Yicheng smiled and said, "Someone must have tampered with it, otherwise why would you come to me?" Everyone saw that they were all happy, and the wine glass stopped in front of Zheng Yicheng again.

Zheng Yicheng pondered and said, "There is little ink in the pool, and lacquer in the garden."

Everyone clapped their hands and laughed, "I'm sorry for you, I barely let you pick up a ready-made allusion."

Then there is Yuan Xi's couplet, "Jing Yan still sleeps in his pillow, drunk and lazy." Looking at who is next, it is still Zheng Yicheng, and everyone bursts out laughing.

Zheng Yicheng himself laughed unsteadily, "If it's me next time, then I'll have to stop! This is not a couplet, it's a wine glass bullying people." Then he linked two sentences, "Yun Jiao is light-hearted. , the name of the land can be left behind.”

Hou Chi simply walked up to the maid and said, "Don't always put it in the same direction." The maid laughed, "Every time I put it down, the direction is different, and the amount of alcohol is also different!"

Hou Shi said, "Then I'll do it!" Then he rolled up his sleeves and put down a wine glass.Everyone didn't talk anymore, they just wanted to see where the wine glass would stop, and saw the clear water and white cup meandering down, and finally it was still in front of Zheng Yicheng.

Everyone laughed loudly, "This wine glass really has spirituality!"

Zheng Yicheng picked up the wine glass and drank it down, "Then let me finish this fraudulent couplet!" He said loudly, "You should wait for the imperial scorpion green, and the quiet period will come out."

Yuan Xi had a good memory, so he transcribed all the verses written by everyone, and passed the inscription "Twelve rhymes of the couplets of Dinghengshe in late spring" to the audience to watch.Some of those who had drunk clamored for a drinking order, and some wrote impromptu poems, called the singing girls to come, and sang along with the banquet.

Seeing the noise of the crowd, Lu Hui came over with a wine glass.The two made a toast to each other, but he took the initiative to sit on Zheng Yicheng's table and said with a smile, "Brother Zixin's reputation, I have heard about it for a long time, but now that I see it, he really shines."

Zheng Yicheng also knew the name of Lu Hui's poems, he cupped his hands and said, "The Layman Huozhai's poems are famous far and wide, wherever there is flowing water, you will know the poems of Lu Hui, and you will admire them with sincerity."

Lu Hui said solemnly, "I heard that brother Zixin defeated the 20-strong army of Nanyak under the cover of Boyu Jiedu's deputy envoy. Only then can the country be settled in peace.”

"Brother Huozhai, you're being polite, it's just a coincidence."

Lu Hui pulled him and said affectionately, "Brother Zixin is too polite. In the future, Boyu and Wei Zhong will marry each other, and the south of Sichuan will be as safe as a rock, which is the prosperity of the people in the world. Let me again Respect son, respect brother!"

Zheng Yicheng's heart turned cold when he heard it, so is he bringing up the old matter of Yang Bangjie's marriage again?He forced himself to take a sip of his wine, and asked calmly, "Brother Huozhai, I can't understand what you said just now. Who is Wei Zhongjiedushi going to marry?"

Lu Hui said with a very surprised expression, "Brother Zixin doesn't know? Of course it's Boyu Jiedu's deputy envoy and strong military general Yang Mengxuan!"

(43) Meet like a dream

When Zheng Yicheng heard that Yang Bangjie was going to marry someone, his heart became cold.In fact, he also knew that in Yang Bangjie's capacity, it was wishful thinking to keep his wife and family vacant.

Although Zheng Yicheng didn't want to doubt Yang Bangjie's intentions, he also knew that the other party might not be able to make the decision, so he asked cautiously, "Where did the news about Brother Huozhai come from?"

Lu Hui didn't take the trouble, and said eloquently, "Wei Zhongjiedu envoy heard about my poor reputation, and sent envoys to invite me in again and again. I'm used to being lazy, so I refused because I wanted to serve in this state. He. In the end, he still didn't give up, and sent someone to lobby, saying that in the future, the two towns would become one family. He also said that this was General Huo's idea, and it took a long time to convince General Yang."

Zheng Yicheng still couldn't believe it, and murmured, "As General Yang's secret agent, how could I not know anything about this?"

Lu Hui also said that he thought he was not trusted by Dong Weng, so his face turned pale, and he had to comfort Zheng Yicheng and said, "This happened not long ago, maybe it's too late to explain it to you."
