Chapter 393 More Wind and Rain 1
"...Xiao Bo, governor of Guangzhou, had no intention of sending troops, but Chen Baxian secretly ordered envoys to join the King of Eastern Hunan."
After listening to Suiyu, he asked: "What's going on with Xiao Cha and Xiangyang?"
Yu Daizi continued: "Second senior brother used some tricks to let Xiao Cha send troops from Xiangyang to attack Jiangling, but he was defeated and fled back to Xiangyang. He then fanned the flames and tricked Xiao Cha into claiming a vassal for the Western Wei Dynasty..."
Wang Caoqin said coolly: "Master, the Xiao family is not worth risking your life for."
Xiang Suiyu snorted, "Who wants to sacrifice his life for the Xiao family? It's just because there will be no eggs under the overturned nest....Even if I want to take care of it, I'm a commoner, so I have to have that ability."
"Sigh, the master is not the master of the past."
Xiang Suiyu smiled instead: "What was I like back then?"
"To help the country, the heart is higher than the sky."
"In Caoqin's heart, is this kind of person?"
Wang Caoqin also smiled and said, "Didn't the master himself think so, back then?"
Xiang Suiyu sighed: "Ever since I followed my master to the Immortal Valley Middle School, I felt that it is important to help the country, but no matter who wants to sit in the mountains, he can't make the rice in the field grow any more. So we can The only ones are "Book of Si Sheng" and "Essential Techniques for the People". What does the king's way have anything to do with me? It's better to have a variety of crops."
Wang Caoqin couldn't help but nodded, "It is possible that the master will march and deploy troops."
"The master of Wubi in the world, who can't march and set up an army? I was born in Wushan, and I only hope that the weather here will always be smooth."
Wang Caoqin said with a smile, "It's a blessing for Wushan to have a master lead him."
Xiang Suiyu sighed: "Although the words of playing the piano are nice, but luck is the source of misfortune. I am trembling every day, like walking on thin ice..."
"You don't have to worry about the Lord, there is Caoqin and all the evil stars to share the worries of the Lord... Ah, it's time for the young master to come and pay his respects to the Lord."
Hearing the mention of Jinling, he smiled at Suiyu, and even made the sun glow with warmth.
The war on the border stopped for a while, and Gao Cheng couldn't wait to usurp the throne, and he had no time to attack the southern border. The small group of Xianbei soldiers who went south would collapse at the first touch. Except for sporadic turmoil in a few counties near the sea, there were no more warnings from all the docks for the time being. So Xiang Suiyu ordered Jinling to go to Yunding to retreat, so as not to have many branches.
Today is the day when Jinling leaves the customs, Han'er Lian'er is already busy in the kitchen, and Xiang Suiyu is waiting for her return in the uppermost room of Ubud.
Xiang Suiyu stopped talking, seemed to be waiting quietly, and seemed to just enjoy the warm sun.The old black cat lying on his lap didn't make a sound at all, only the slight ups and downs of its body let people know that it was still alive.
Wang Caoqin was also very casual, clasped his hands behind his head, and lay sprawled on the couch specially moved out to lie on.
In this kind of weather, it’s time to open an altar of old bamboo leaves and invite friends to drink and compose poems by the river.It's a pity that Xiang Suiyu doesn't have any hobbies other than playing chess, he never engages in such things.
The old cat on his lap suddenly pricked up its ears and wagged its tail.Although it was not seen moving, it was clearly seen that it was on alert.Xiang Suiyu did the same, she seemed to be asleep, but her body tensed up slightly.
"The golden bell is here."
He sounded a reminder, Caoqin quickly put away this indecent posture, and sat cross-legged.
Sure enough, within a few moments, Jinling had already appeared at the end of the aisle.
"Master, Uncle Caoqin."
Caoqin greeted her with a smile and waved her hand.Xiang Suiyu opened his eyes, nodded slightly, and said, "Come here and let me have a look."
Jin Ling stretched out her hand.
To this day, she is still a little afraid that Xiang Suiyu will suddenly reveal [-]% of the "Burning Heart Art" in her body, although Xiang Suiyu didn't give her pulse once or twice like this.
She hides it very carefully every time, and Xiang Suiyu never mentions it.But the master has great powers, she is not sure that she will be able to hide something from Xiang Suiyu.
He even knew that Gao Yang, Gao Cheng's younger brother, had long been disobedient, but Gao Cheng was still kept in the dark.Does he really know nothing about me and Silver Lock?
Jin Ling became more and more apprehensive, she lowered her head and waited to speak to Sui Yu.
"...Yes, there has been some progress. The sun is good today, and I am too lazy to sunbathe. I will try your martial arts tomorrow. You can take a good rest today. Han'er and Lian'er are all cooking, and there will be some time after sunset." What you like to eat."
"Yes."
Xiang Suiyu smiled and said, "Pull up a cushion and sit down and talk."
Jin Ling agreed, went back to the room and found a soft cushion, knelt down on it respectfully, and asked, "I don't know if Master has any other orders."
Xiang Suiyu said: "Tell me about your work in Jianye. I have been busy until now, and I haven't asked you carefully."
Jin Ling was silent for a while, and said: "I don't know if Master wants to hear something related to Mingjiao, or something related to Mother."
Xiang Suiyu said, "It's related to Mingjiao."
Jin Ling said: "The people who stay in Jianye from Mingjiao are almost all the elites among the elites. I know some of them. They can't leave Jianye themselves. Therefore, when Yinsuo told me that her mission to Jianye was to When the remaining members of Mingjiao brought out Jianye, I immediately believed in it."
"Well, yes, Lu Kanglong is very loyal, he will not let his men be in such a dangerous place... Before the fall of Taicheng, there was no food and grass in the city, many civilians were killed, and the meat distributed to the soldiers said It’s horse meat, but it’s actually mixed with a lot of human meat.”
"That's right. During the day, Mingjiao disciples pretended to be ordinary civilians, and carried corpses in exchange for some rations. They scouted around for information, and found out the inside and outside of the building. At night, Yinsuo went out to check the roads out of the city, and finally decided to escape by water. .After half a month, someone came to meet us by boat. We were able to escape smoothly afterward.”
"So that's why you got on the same boat as her."
"Yes," Jin Ling lied casually, "I'm afraid that the order Yinsuo received was not to bring back all Mingjiao disciples, but to bring mother back to Jiangling."
Xiang Suiyu concurred: "That's right, when Lu Kanglong received the news that the princess was arrested, he dispatched Yinsuo in a hurry. First, she has a better relationship with you and is easy to talk to the princess. Second, she is sweet-mouthed and willing to coax you." The old man is happy. Sending her is the best choice."
Jin Ling thought to herself: Yes, my mother has been thinking about her for a long time.It's all my fault for praising her so much.
"That's probably the case."
Xiang Suiyu shook her head with her eyes closed, and said in a low voice, "Well done. You have always been a good boy... I really don't know how I can treat you better. What do you want?"
Jin Ling shook her head and said: "It is the key to Bing Xin's concentration that foreign things do not stay in the mind. I'm afraid it's not quite right for Master to ask me that."
Xiang Suiyu sighed and said: "Even Jinling knows to teach the teacher a lesson, and he is old as a teacher... Wulang is useless, not to mention his whereabouts are unknown, even if he is here, he can't hand over Wushan to him... Play the piano, Among the Xiang family's children, who else has a bit of talent?"
Wang Caoqin murmured: "I'm afraid I'm going to go to the Shushu to have a look. There is no class in the Shushu today, so I'll take the Master there another day."
Xiang Suiyu sighed again, and said, "The leaves on the mountain have started to turn yellow."
There are maple trees all over Wushan Mountain. With the autumn air, the water between the sky and the earth seems to be sucked away little by little, and the leaves begin to wither and turn yellow. Only the leaves of maple trees turn yellow and then turn red.When the leaves turn red, it is the time of the annual competition.
Wushan is very high, and it is colder above the clouds than below. Jinling is already wearing autumn clothes, but she still looks very thin.Xiang Suiyu looked slightly worried, and ordered Caoqin to go to the kitchen to urge Han'er and Lian'er.
"Jin Ling will take good care of her body, why doesn't she seem to be gaining weight after coming back from outside the Great Wall? You still look better like you used to."
Jin Ling whispered: "Master... I am almost 20 years old, how can I still be the same as when I was a child?"
Xiang Suiyu was taken aback, and said, "Twenty already?"
The law of the Liang Dynasty stipulated that women should marry at fifteen, and Xiang Suiyu was the biggest in Wushan. He acquiesced in Jinling's not marrying, but it was a matter of course for women to marry since ancient times, and he was no exception. He always felt that he owed Jinling something.
Knowing that he was going to bring up this matter again, Jin Ling sighed and said, "Master, don't talk about it. I don't need it."
"... But when is this the end... Daizi's bad idea..."
When Xiang Suiyu was thinking about the past, Jinling eagerly looked forward to it.Three years ago, she didn't know that Long Ruo, whom she missed all the time, was looking forward to coming here, and she never expected that she would count the days and wait for her lover's arrival three years later.
The two were silent for a while, and suddenly said to Suiyu: "Oh, by the way, the King of Eastern Hunan has sent his troops south to attack Ezhou."
Jin Ling was taken aback, and said, "Attack Ezhou? Why did you do this all of a sudden?"
"Of course the old emperor died. Hou Jing supported the crown prince to ascend the throne, and the king of Xiangdong avenged his father. Unexpectedly, his elder brother was a scum of the family. He surrendered to Hou Jing and sent his own son to the court to be a dog for Hou Jing's pleasure. So I will teach you a lesson..."
Jin Ling nodded and said: "Well, in order to ensure the smooth passage of the Yangtze River, it is indeed necessary to take Ezhou..."
"Also...Xiao Cha retreated to Xiangyang and declared himself a vassal to the Western Wei Dynasty."
Jin Ling was taken aback for a moment, and said: "Then, that... isn't the Second Martial Uncle in Xiangyang?"
Xiang Suiyu nodded and said, "It's he who is behind the scenes."
Jin Ling lowered her head and sighed: "Second Martial Uncle is really a man with great supernatural powers."
"Oh, and Xiao Liuyi..."
"Brother?"
"That's right, he ran to Linjiang alone. Xu Xiaohan joined forces with Jiangnan martial arts people to fight against Hou Jing's army. He wrote to me the day before yesterday that there was a young man who called himself 'Marshal Jin' and he was very good at marching. He is very tough even in fights, but he can't tell the history, he just said that he is from Jingkou. He also said that he will introduce this person to you after Sanwu is settled... Ha ha... Xu Xiaohan is also a real person."
Jinling felt powerless for a while, Xu Xiaohan had the guts to find a husband for her, so he naturally told Suiyu that the master really... is old and likes to be a matchmaker.
"Master won't agree?"
Xiang Suiyu was one of the few people who knew that Marshal Jin and Jin Ling were brothers and sisters, so of course he couldn't agree, and comforted him: "It's fine if you don't want to. I only mentioned it to him, who knows he With this in mind, I wrote to him and told him not to worry about it."
Jin Ling finally gave up, but fortunately Wang Caoqin appeared in time and said, "Master, the meal is ready, do you want some vegetables?"
