generation hero

The fleet is far away, and the sun is about to set behind the western mountain, and it will be difficult to go on the road if it does not go down the mountain.

Yuan Tang said: "What should I do now, do I want to go back?"

When the Wang family found out that Feng Cong had escaped, they must have been in a mess, and they might have reported it back to the palace.

Feng Cong patted Yuan Tang on the shoulder, signaling Yuan Tang to look behind the portrait.

Yuan Tang turned his head, and at some point there was a fire at the foot of the mountain, the Wang family's trilogy and the palace guards surrounded the foot of the mountain, and many people went up the mountain with torches.

Uncle Feng Cong sat on a big rock beside him.

Yuan Tang was a little dumbfounded.

At this speed of pursuit, they were discovered not long after they left Jianxiu Garden.

"Take you out to play, and you may not be able to come out for a long time in the future." Feng Cong said.

Yuan Tang also knew that sneaking away would have bad consequences, and he didn't have much freedom in the first place.

Seeing Yuantang's expression, Feng Cong said again: "Okay, okay, don't look like you're about to cry, it's not because of you, they wouldn't let me out at first, and if I don't come out today, I won't have a chance. "

The first ones to go up the mountain were the palace guards, followed by Wang Qu himself. Wang Qu was still wearing the clothes for the banquet. He walked up the mountain very exhaustingly and was supported by two servants.

Wang Que's eyebrows were furrowed together, obviously suffering from a headache, and he didn't dare to question Feng Cong. Standing by the stone and looking out, the mountain was already pitch black and he couldn't see anything. Wang Que said, "Your Highness, the scenery here is beautiful."

Feng Cong leaned on Yuantang's shoulder, looked like he was still drunk, and gave a soft "hmm" and said, "Going down the mountain."

Wang Qu, who had just climbed the mountain, had a bitter face all over his face.

On the way down the mountain, Feng Cong told Wang Qu to keep fit, Wang Qu listened bitterly, if not for the servants supporting him, he might already be lying on the mountain road.

After Feng Cong went down the mountain, he untied the mule cart and handed it over to Wang Que and told him to take care of it before he got into the cart sent by the palace.

Yuan Tang couldn't help laughing until he got into the car, and said, "Yun Yanghou looks like a man...puhaha, he has a good temper."

Feng Cong said: "He has no evil intentions, he will do whatever the Empress Dowager tells him to do."

Feng Cong and Yuan Tang were sent back to the palace directly.

Yuan Tang was restless all the way, the night was already deep, the Carnation Hall was brightly lit, the Empress Dowager was wearing a light blue crepe skirt and a plain soft silk dress, half of her hair was put down in a bun, and the other half was fixed with a white jade hairpin.

Feng Cong and Yuan Tang approached the splendid Kangxin Palace covered in muddy clothes, leaving a string of muddy footprints on the floral lichen.

The queen mother looked at Feng Cong quietly for a while, and said, "You're so naughty." Her voice was so gentle that she didn't seem to blame, she seemed to sigh, and her eyes moved to Yuan Tang who was beside Feng Cong. Hold Yuan Tang.

Sure enough, it was coming, Yuan Tang thought to himself, it's only natural that the boss is making trouble for the younger brother, and it's only right that he saw this boat, so it should be.

Yuan Tang didn't intend to resist, Feng Cong stopped in front of Yuan Tang, and said to his queen mother, "No."

The Empress Dowager said, "Shouldn't you be punished for indulging your mischievous behavior without knowing how to persuade you?"

Feng Cong raised his chin and said, "The queen mother sent him to me to make me obedient. He has no family background to handle, at least it is much easier to handle than Shen Jingxuan. If it is broken, it doesn't matter if you change it to someone else." use."

There was a smile on the Queen Mother's lips, and she didn't care about Feng Cong's outburst of her intentions, "That will also have to be punished, you have to have a long memory, and you can't mess around like this again."

Feng Cong also smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager is sure that I will have a long memory as you wish? Besides, why punish him, wouldn't it be better to punish me."

Yuan Tang heard the meaning of the two people's words, only to see that the queen mother's smile seemed to freeze, but it quickly melted away: "Why didn't you stay in the Wang family, because the Wang family did not treat you well?"

The queen mother didn't mention the matter of punishing Yuan Tang, and the servant also bowed and retreated.

Feng Cong was like a rogue child, casually said: "It's too boring, I don't like those people."

The queen mother frowned slightly and said, "They are indeed not likable, you have to get used to them. Your uncle should have told you that he will leave Shangyun next summer at the latest. Who do you think is appropriate for the Wang family to send out of town?"

Feng Cong said not too seriously: "Wang Qu is definitely not good. Shangyun Mansion controls the three states, and the front line has to fight Beicheng from time to time. Wang Qu has no achievements and reputation, so he can't control the soldiers of the army mansion, and he can't dispatch the frontier generals."

"You think so too." The Empress Dowager nodded, her brows were lowered, as if she was thinking about something.

The hourglass was ticking, and the queen mother rubbed her forehead tiredly, and said, "Forget it, it's getting late, let's not talk about today's affairs for now, don't mess around, I won't hurt you," the queen mother looked at Feng with a kind tone , with deeper emotions in his eyes, he finally waved his hand and said, "Go."

Feng Cong bowed in salute, and pulled Yuan Tang away.

The queen mother leaned against the table and closed her eyes, and said to the people around her after a while: "A Tao, do you think Hongyi and Dalang look alike? I think they are very similar. They are both smart and unyielding, but Hongyi is too stubborn. Da Lang is always very obedient and filial."

The servant said: "Queen Mother, there is no difference between father and son. His Highness Hong Yi just stayed outside the palace for too long."

The queen mother sighed: "Really..."

"Is the queen mother angry? Is it really all right?"

Yuan Tang was a little moved, but also a little worried, he could only see Feng Cong's back in the night.

"Are I still here? What's the problem? The Queen Mother has no time to be so idle."

Yuan Tang was still a little worried: "Will the Empress Dowager really not punish you?" There was too much movement about running away, and in a few days there would be another "bad deed" of Feng Cong circulating outside.

Feng Cong said, "She won't care about such a small matter."

The next day, the Empress Dowager sent Feng Cong to Taixue as before, and sent a large number of guards to Feng Cong from the palace.

When they went to the Wang's house for a banquet, Yuan De stayed in Taixue, and the two of them came back after a night. Yuan De heard the whole story of their escape, and his expression was a little complicated for a while. Mouth mentions.

As for the queen mother's new guards, they usually go to class well. When Feng Cong practiced rowing, they all stood in line by the river, as if they were afraid that Feng Cong would run away again while no one was looking.

Amu patted Feng Cong's shoulder in private, as if to comfort him. Feng Cong looked indifferent. Su Zicong and another Taixue classmate were already familiar with Feng Cong, but they became reserved and silent in front of a large number of palace guards.

On the fifth day of the sixth lunar month, the emperor of the Xia Kingdom watched the exercise of the Xia Kingdom's water army at Kunyou Lake in the west of Beijing, accompanied by officials from the harem and civil and military officials.

Barriers were set up on the bank of Kunyou Lake early in the morning, and a high platform was set up. The emperor, officials, and palaces sat on the stands by the lake. The queen mother's seat was no longer on the side of the harem, but beside the emperor.

The empress dowager's bun is decorated with precious tinsel and flower hairpins, and a golden phoenix in the middle is dancing about to soar to the sky. The long skirt embroidered with gold thread is like a slender tail feather, hanging gracefully behind her.

This gorgeous adornment may be too noisy or too vulgar on others, but on the Empress Dowager, it is only a foil to her appearance and demeanor.

She supported the servant's hand and sat beside the emperor, shaking the round fan lightly, emitting dazzling firelight in all directions, even the emperor could only be in the shadow of her light.

Attendant Xiao Xiezhi served as the general of the Chinese army at the same time, and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it is ready. Please check it out."

The emperor turned slightly sideways: "Queen, do you see?"

The queen mother said: "Dancing with knives and guns is all your men's business. I'm just watching the fun, old lady. You can decide what you say."

The emperor said, "Let's begin."

Xiao Xiezhi took the order, waved his hand, and the horn sounded all over Kunyou Lake.

There was the sound of drumming on the surface of the water, and dozens of ships sailed into the lake from the eastern waterway. The arrangement was similar to what Yuantang saw on the mountain that day. Small ships were in front and large ships were behind. There were more types of ships. The outside of the boat is covered with fireproof cowhide, like a water monster.

Yuan Tang lay on the railing curiously, Feng Cong held his belt behind him: "Be careful, don't fall into the water."

"What is that, those on the boat, why didn't I seem to see them that day?"

Feng Congzhe looked at it for a while, and said, "That's a stick. The boat that day hadn't been loaded yet. The stick can lift stones and hit the approaching boat. Those hit by it will sink."

The racket shaft looks like a wooden crane, with a log on the vertical wooden post.Feng Cong talked to Yuan Tang about how to use the racket.

As the fleet passed the stage, the huge building boats docked on the shore, and the lighter warships sailed into the lake again, swimming away like long snakes.After a while, the long snake was divided into two parts, each forming a formation. The drums on the shore sounded, meeting the drums of the ships on the lake, and the flags were waved. The soldiers on the ships shouted loudly. Driving in the lake, the speed was extremely fast, and the formation was not chaotic. When the two formations intersected, the ships of the two sides were very close to each other, and the sound of the drums became more and more intense. The ships separated and adjusted their directions, forming a circle connected end to end in the lake.

The ships turn and sail flexibly, like people walking on flat ground, and change into different formations with the sound of drums.

Warships and light boats lined up one by one, and the gong under the stands sounded "clang", and the fleet converged and entered the waterway in the same formation as when they came.

The formation drill mainly depends on the command and discipline of the sailing boats. The emperor was quite satisfied with the performance and smiled frequently.

Both Feng Cong and Yuan Tang put on short clothes, wrapped black cloth scarves around their heads, and prepared to board the boat with the other team members.

The second prince, Feng Hongshen, also led a group of people to the lake, looking at Feng Cong with folded arms.

Feng Cong didn't even look at him, the second prince glared bitterly.

Yuan Tang suddenly discovered that the second prince and his uncle Xiao Shanzhi were quite similar in some ways, they loved to find fault, and the more frustrated they became, the more courageous they became.

One of the servants ran down from the stand of the concubine, begging Feng Hongshen mournfully: "Your Highness, the Empress is worried...you should go back."

"No," Feng Hongshen said, "Go back and tell my mother, don't worry, just watch carefully. He can compete, why can't I, it's because of Prince Wenxi..."

The servant kept begging, but Feng Hongshen jumped into the boat without looking back.

When Feng Cong heard him mention Prince Wenxi, he turned to look at him, and Feng Hongshen looked back provocatively.

Another gong sounded, and dozens of flying boats shot towards the lake like off-string arrows, dragging out the trajectory of white waves.

A floating platform is set up in the lake, on which a flower ball made of colored silk is hung on a bamboo stand, and there are more than a dozen bamboo rafts not far away, whichever team of flying boats grabs the bamboo raft first, boards the floating platform and gets the flower ball, Whichever team wins.

Yuan Tang slammed on the drum and roared with everyone, the blood was concentrated on his face, he couldn't hear anything except the roar and the sound of the drum.

Amu raised the flag in front of the boat, shouting loudly.

Their boat quickly emerged from the crowd, soaking everyone in splashes.

Halfway through the water, Yuan Tang caught a glimpse of a black figure approaching from the right, and the boat that Feng Hongshen was on also quickly moved away from the other boats by a large margin, and gradually approached Yuan Tang and the others.

Feng Hongshen stood at the drummer's position at the stern of the ship, turned the drumstick, and struck the side of the drum three times. Repeated this three times, the distance between the two ships narrowed.

Yuan Tang: "!!!"

Yuan Tang tapped on the drum and the side of the drum. This was the rhythm he and Amu agreed to remind. Amu looked at Yuan Tang, and Yuan Tang signaled him to pay attention to the right side.

Amu nodded, the flag was pointing to the left, and the helmsman veered to the left, but it was too late, Feng Hongshen's boat rushed to the left and hit their hull at once, the oars of the two boats also staggered in the water, and the hull slammed into each other. Shocked, Yuan Tang almost fell into the water.

Amu shouted: "Steady, steady, don't stop!"

Yuan Tang stood firm and began to beat the drum vigorously.

The ship shifted to the left, and Feng Hongshen hit the side of the drum again. When it hit the drum for the second time, Yuan Tang and his boat were impacted and squeezed onto another boat on the right side. The boat on the right side lost its balance and rolled. Several oarsmen fell into the water.

There was an exclamation in the stands.

Amu shouted: "Quick, don't stop, row away!"

Yuantang's hands were numb, and besides the sound of the drums, there was the sound of his own heartbeat. However, Feng Hongshen's boat was stuck on the left side, and he couldn't even row the oars.Feng Hongshen beat the drum quickly, and their boat moved forward, Yuantang's team escaped from the gap, and stayed for a while, Feng Hongshen's airboat team had already rowed ahead, and the bamboo raft was just ahead.

Amu shouted: "Go!"

All the team members pulled the oars together, and soon, the two boats were even again.

Feng Hongshen knocked on the side of the drum for the third time, Yuan Tang gritted his teeth, his heart was about to burst out, Feng Cong who was sitting in front of him leaned back and shouted: "Listen to me!"

The two boats approached again, the drums beat fast, Feng Cong shouted: "Stop! Go left!"

Yuan Tang fixed his hands in the air, and the team members were used to listening to the drums during training. When the drums stopped, the oars also stopped. They paddled to the left and were soon over halfway across.

Feng Cong shouted again: "Go!"

Yuan Tang beat the red drum with all his strength, the wooden paddles moved despite the drum, the bow of the boat moved forward, and bumped into the boat of Feng Hongshen's team.

Both boats were shaken and swung out of their original direction. Feng Cong threw away the oars, jumped into the water, and swam towards the bamboo raft. Other team members jumped into the water one after another. Yuan Tang threw away the drumsticks and followed suit. Jump.

Their boat had swung to the side of the bamboo rafts. Feng Cong grabbed one of the bamboo rafts first, and Yuan Tang also climbed onto the other. Feng Hongshen's team also quickly entered the water to grab the bamboo rafts, and fought with Yuan Tang's teammates in the water. Get up, some climbed onto the bamboo raft and were dragged down again.

Feng Hongshen also jumped into the water and successfully grabbed a bamboo raft with the help of others.

Yuan Tang's feet slanted, his bamboo raft was grabbed by someone, Feng Cong crossed the long pole, stabbed the man underwater, and said to Yuan Tang: "You go first."

Yuan Tang nodded, taking advantage of Feng Cong's fight with others, he slid towards the floating platform with Hao Hao.

Feng Cong used Changhao to pick off two people who were chasing Yuantang, and stepped over a few bamboo rafts to pull up a few teammates who were still in the water.

Feng Hongshen saw Yuantang approaching the floating platform, and Feng Cong picked almost all of his team underwater. He was a little angry, and said to the left and right: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and chase."

One of them climbed onto the bamboo raft and chased after Yuantang, Feng Cong wanted to chase after him too, when there was a sudden gust of wind behind him, Feng Hongshen held up a long wormwood and whipped it on Feng Cong's back, the splash made Feng Cong squint his eyes.

This time Feng Hongshen used all his strength, and Chang Hao cracked Feng Cong's back.

Yuan Tang had just climbed onto the floating platform and was about to pick off the bouquet when his feet trembled. The person behind him was about to push him into the water. Yuan Tang turned slightly and grabbed the person's wrist. He was always covered by Feng Cong, thinking that he was not good at skills, so he rushed into the water without guarding against his move.

Yuan Tang picked the bouquet, jumped onto the bamboo raft, and was about to paddle back when Feng Hongshen's terrified cry resounded across the lake.

"You, you, ah, let me go!"

Feng Cong was wearing Feng Hongshen's belt, and threw Feng Hongshen into the lake in full view.

Yuan Tang seemed to be able to hear the screams from the stands, and was so shocked that the bouquet almost fell off.
