The exceedingly high pass/test situated in the Jade City west boundary, completes also not long, the city wall is big, like a vicious dog of crouching in hiding, is staring to warn the outcomer do not approach. 通天关位于璧玉城西部边界,建成还没有多久,城墙高大雄伟,像一头蹲伏的猛犬,正瞪眼警示外来者不要靠近。 Looks at the checkpoint from afar, Shangguan Ru is understanding why little receives the Western Region news in dragon court, the exceedingly high pass/test guards sternly, permits enter cannot leave, closes a Western Region gateway thoroughly, wants to come east thousand ride to close is also so. 远远望着关卡,上官如明白为什么在龙庭很少接到西域的消息,通天关守卫森严,许进不许出,将西域的一道门户彻底关闭,想来东边的千骑关也是如此。 Old King Han is murdered already for nearly two months, the influence that brings still wave after wave, refugee in groups from the Shangguan Ru side process, silent walked toward the area inside the Great Wall, Western Region is also the place of tangled warfare , compared with Northern Court is also safer, enters the swamp from the fiery pit, nobody can cheer up. 老汗王遇害已近两月,带来的影响仍然一波接一波,成群的难民从上官如身边经过,沉默地向关内走去,西域也是混战之地,跟北庭相比却又安全一些,从火坑走进沼泽,没人能高兴起来。 Shangguan Ru rides the flame colt day and night to gallop, leaves behind the large unit, arrives at the exceedingly high pass/test, thirsty has drunk all the way hungrily, has chewed two dried meat, except for letting the mount rests, has almost not stopped. 上官如骑着火焰驹不分昼夜地驰骋,将大部队远远甩在后面,独自一人来到通天关,一路上渴了喝酒、饿了嚼两口肉干,除了让坐骑休息,几乎没有停过。 She understands a truth finally: The robbers and bandits in legend always straightforwardly eat and drink extravagantly, actually the evidence of that even Yueli arduous life, is she, after receiving these many suffering, is at this moment most intense ** is also front can present full table the luxurious feasting immediately. 她终于明白一个真相:传说中的盗匪总是豪爽地大吃大喝,其实那正是平曰里艰苦生活的证据,就是她,在受过这么多苦头之后,此时此刻最强烈的**也是面前能立刻出现满桌的鸡鸭鱼肉。 She has licked split lip, starts spatial liquor pouch that fondly remembers that only to perform high service through hard work, lifts the hand to stroke the nape of the neck of flame colt gently, said in a soft voice: „Oh, must have delicious.” 她舔了舔干裂的嘴唇,开始怀念那只劳苦功高的空酒囊,抬手温柔地抚摸着火焰驹的脖颈,轻声说:“乖乖,就要有好吃的了。” The flame colt has hit a cheerful loud nose, has probably not run to suffice to resemble. 火焰驹打了个欢快的响鼻,好像还没有跑够似的。 The one who defends the pass/test is the Northern Court cavalry, to the entering China inspection not strict, actually specially blocks Shangguan Ru, gathered round the flame colt to transfer several, commended in the Northern Court language with one voice: „Really is the good horse, which the brothers is? This horse sells?” 守关的是北庭骑兵,对进关者检查得并不严格,却特意拦下上官如,围着火焰驹转了几圈,异口同声地用北庭语称赞:“真是好马,兄弟是哪一部的？这马卖吗？” What Shangguan Ru puts on is the prairie men's clothing, the whole face spate, except for is quite thin and small, almost does not have the slightest bit female appearance, replied with the Northern Court language: „Is Hangzhou, exceedingly high pass/test to me, this horse does not sell.” 上官如穿的是草原男装,满脸泥水,除了比较瘦小,几乎没有半分女子样貌,也以北庭语回答:“乃杭,把通天关给我,这马也不卖。” The soldiers have smiled, has not demanded, „is Hangzhou leaves the BMW, what a pity said that died by the king, otherwise he is kneels down also to your horse take.” 士兵们笑了,没有强求,“乃杭出宝马,可惜曰逐王死了,否则他就是下跪也要把你的马弄到手。” Shangguan Ru leads a horse to enter China some little time, the soldier looks out to the flame colt. 上官如牵马进关好一会,还有士兵向火焰驹遥望。 The exceedingly high pass/test is not a big city, at this time turned into the military compound completely, does not allow the common people to stay, before entering China must continuously walks, is passed through south gate. 通天关是一座不大的城池,此时已经完全变成军营,不允许平民停留,进关者必须一直前走,由南门出去。 Outside south city turned into disorderly mixing to occupy, the refugees always here live last several days, overcomes in the heart the fear to different earth another region, inquired that the whereabouts of other people, seeks for the fellow traveller, some people even harbor the optimistic hope, thinks that Northern Court can select the new perspiration king quickly, they turn around to return to the prairie, therefore treats day-by-day in the exceedingly high pass/test, becomes the long-time resident in temporary village. 南城以外已经变成杂乱的混居地,难民们总是在这里住上几天,克服心中对异土他乡的恐惧,打听其他人的去向,寻找同路人,有些人甚至怀着乐观的希望,以为北庭很快就能选出新汗王,他们转身就能返回草原,因此在通天关一天天地待下去,成为临时村庄的长久居民。 In this farm only then does not have Shangguan Ru to hope that the wine and meat, the refugees mostly keep the prairie tradition, brings the tent and food, only several crude shops, sell does not know how long dried meat has saved. 在这种地方可没有上官如期盼中的酒肉,难民们大都保留草原传统,自带帐篷与食物,仅有几家简陋的店铺,卖的也是不知存了多久的肉干。 Shangguan Ru was greatly disappointed, has bought half pouch blue ruins and pile of fresh fodder, in the fodder increased the massive beans and apples, thought oneself can endure, cannot owe the flame colt. 上官如大失所望,买了半囊劣酒和一堆新鲜草料,草料里添加了大量豆子与苹果,心想自己可以忍,可不能亏着火焰驹。 Shangguan Ru drinks to relieve thirst, while watches the flame colt bulk to make chewing motions, even more thought that this liquor is insipid. 上官如一边喝酒解渴,一边观看火焰驹大块朵颐,越发觉得这酒寡淡无味。 „Young Master, sells the horse?” “公子,卖马吗？” „Does not sell.” Shangguan Ru did not return said. “不卖。”上官如头也不回地说。 „Don't 12 money sell?” “12银子也不卖？” That person stressed specially „ten”, in the Shangguan Ru heart move, turns head to take a look at a buying native of Malaysia of this having no sense of propriety. 那人特意强调“十”,上官如心中一动,回头打量这位不知高低的买马人。 Appearance that the 30-year-old man, looks distressed inborn, thought probably 12 money bought the horse still to suffer a loss. 30多岁的男子,天生愁眉苦脸的模样,好像觉得12银子买马仍然吃了大亏。 „Do you want to buy the horse?” “你想买马？” „It is not, my master wants to buy the horse, I have a look everywhere, this your this horse looks sturdy, was inferior that you see the master with me, perhaps he can also pay a higher price, 12, Young Master, were actually also many.” “不是,我的主人想买马,我到处看看,就这你这匹马看着壮实,不如你跟我去见主人,他没准还能出更高价钱呢,12,公子,其实也不少了。” The men beat around the bush in disorderly village, stopped before the tent of surrounding, Shangguan Ru agrees did not make the flame colt leave oneself line of sight, the probe head from the tent beckoned until „master”, she felt relieved that handed over the reins. 男子在杂乱的村庄里拐弯抹角,在外围的一座帐篷前停下,上官如不肯让火焰驹离开自己的视线,直到“主人”从帐篷里探头招手,她才放心将缰绳交出去。 „Xu Xiaoyi, you have the beard.” Shangguan Ru has recognized „master” true colors. “许小益,你留胡子啦。”上官如认出了“主人”的真面目。 Xu Xiaoyi traces the beard, said grinningly: „Rare Tenth Young Master also recognizes me, this is the beard of genuine, two years you had looked again, is definitely more luxuriant than the present.” 许小益摸了摸胡须,笑嘻嘻地说:“难得十公子还认得我,这可是货真价实的胡子,过两年你再看,肯定比现在茂盛。” „Hehe, eats meal and talks, I choose the former now, lets I have a look at your this ‚master’ enthusiasm and skill.” “呵呵,吃饭与谈话,我现在选前者,让我看看你这位‘主人’的热情与本事吧。” Xu Xiaoyi laughs loudly, does not have a meeting free time, causes full table the food and wine like magic trick, is not on the prairie the common beef and lamb and cheese, but is fine slightly fries, has the Jade City old-established shop flavor. 许小益放声大笑,没一会工夫,就像变戏法一样弄出满桌的酒菜,不是草原上常见的牛羊肉与奶酪,而是精致小炒,颇有璧玉城老店风味。 Shangguan Ru picks creamy red-roasted pork to force in the mouth together, closes one's eyes savors slowly, „south city big old Li, you also really have the skill, this dish delivers to here from Jade City few also 34 days, is the crucial moment so how appropriate?” 上官如夹起一块滑腻的的红烧肉塞进嘴里,闭眼慢慢品味,“南城大老李,你还真有本事,这道菜从璧玉城送到这里最少也得34天吧,怎么火候还这么合适？” „Big old Li in the backyard, is Tenth Young Master is being busy at work some little time.” “大老李正在后院,已经为十公子忙活好一会了。” „You know that I will come?” Shangguan Ru gives birth for the first time eats greatly. “你知道我会来？”上官如开怀大吃。 „Heh, the Tenth Young Master courage was also too big, is riding such a conspicuous BMW, arrives at some city gate people to notify to me, I will ponder over will not be having others except for Tenth Young Master.” “嘿,十公子胆子也太大了,骑着这么一匹显眼的宝马,一到城门就有人向我报信,我琢磨着除了十公子不会有别人。” The Shangguan Ru appetite is not big, although is the hometown taste, each type has also eaten several, then drinks, Xu Xiaoyi looked soon was scared, said heartfeltly: „The Tenth Young Master alcohol capacity, 100 Dragon King cannot compare.” 上官如食量不大,虽是家乡口味,每样也只是吃了几口,然后只是喝酒,许小益看得快要傻眼了,由衷赞道:“十公子的酒量,100个龙王也比不上啊。” „Ate to the full.” Shangguan Ru discovered that once puts on again the appearance that the men's clothing wants to make the virtuous young woman to be quite difficult, but she is as far as possible the straight stance, „Dragon King makes me come, can meet you to be really good, to I said these months situation.” “吃饱了。”上官如发现一旦穿上男装再想做出淑女的样子比较困难,但她还是尽可能端正姿态,“龙王让我来的,能碰见你真是再好不过,跟我说说这几个月来的情况吧。” „Situation is complex, the matter are also many, which aspect does Tenth Young Master want to know?” “情况复杂,事情也不少,十公子想知道哪方面的？” „You look saying that first from important start.” “你看着说吧,先从重要的开始。” Xu Xiaoyi lowered the head to think a meeting, „the most important matter was one calls sincere Prince Northern Court, captured the military power, now commands 70,000 cavalries, occupied the exceedingly high pass/test, it is said was preparing to capture the prairie still rebellion.” 许小益低头想了一会,“最重要的事儿就是一位叫多敦的北庭王子,夺取兵权,如今统率70000骑兵,占据了通天关,据说正准备攻入草原平定叛乱。” „Rebellion?” “叛乱？” „Here view was Northern Court various king plots together to kill Old King Han, sincere must revenge for the father.” “这边的说法是北庭诸王合谋杀死了老汗王,多敦要替父报仇。” „Un.” “嗯。” „The following matter was complex, sincere is guaranteed the hostage who Dragon King security, should keep Shu Le duplicate[ ***], right General Shang Liao and Shu Le Crown Prince-- I do not know how they think-- has bled off sincere, it is said the middle has the transaction, now these two in the exceedingly high pass/test, evidently must follow sincere to still the prairie together.” “接下来的事情就复杂了,多敦本来是确保龙王安全的人质,应该留在疏勒复[***]之中,右将军尚辽和疏勒太子——我不知道他们是怎么想的——放走了多敦,据说中间有交易,现在这两人都在通天关,看样子是要追随多敦一块平定草原呢。” „Golden Roc Castle?” “金鹏堡呢？” „Golden Roc Castle still occupied east thousand ride the pass/test, the news that I obtain is with sincere is also flirting with the eyes, very probably in secret reached the agreement, in brief, half Western Region in flattering sincere, puts the gambling stake on him, if Dragon King a bit faster does not come back, the situation may not quite be a little wonderful.” “金鹏堡仍然占据东边的千骑关,我得到的消息是也在跟多敦眉来眼去,很可能已经暗中达成协议,总之,一半西域都在讨好多敦,把赌注押在他身上,龙王要是再不快点回来,局势可有点不太妙。” „Xiaoyao Lake five countries?” “逍遥海五国呢？” „Fortunately, Prime Minister Zhong Heng and in the left General Dugu Xian surface was still loyal to Dragon King, but deployed troops recently, the correspondence intercourse, the movement are also many.” “还好,丞相钟衡和左将军独孤羡表面上仍忠于龙王,但是最近调兵遣将、书信往来,动作也不少。” Shangguan Ru has smiled, „you are not quite probably satisfied to all people.” 上官如笑了,“你好像对所有人都不太满意。” „Not? Dragon King leaves for several months, everybody start to be own calculating, making the rumor to rise from all directions, probably Dragon King will never come back.” “不是吗？龙王才离开几个月,人人都开始打自己的小算盘,弄得谣言四起,好像龙王永远不会回来了。” „How did everybody say Dragon King?” “大家怎么说龙王？” Xu Xiaoyi has patted in the table, appears is angry very much, „said that Dragon King participates in the rebellion being killed at the scene, some people said that he becomes a fugitive in all directions, does not dare to return to Western Region, but also some people said...... Dragon King was charmed by a Princess Northern Court, submits willingly the running dog.” 许小益在桌子拍了一下,显得很生气,“说龙王参与叛乱当场被杀,也有人说他四处逃亡,再也不敢回西域,还有人说……龙王被一名北庭王妃迷住,甘当走狗。” Shangguan Ru laughs, „you can feel relieved, Dragon King has not died has not run away, un, was charmed me not to know that will be in any case quick he to lead an army to return to Western Region.” 上官如哈哈大笑,“你可以放心了,龙王没死没逃,嗯,是不是被迷住我就不知道了,反正很快他就会带领一支军队回西域。” „Ha.” Xu Xiaoyi from the sky has wielded excitedly the fist, carefully maintains sweeps away experienced, „I know, Dragon King will not be penniless.” “哈。”许小益兴奋地在空中挥了一下拳头,精心维持的老成一扫而空,“我就知道,龙王绝不会两手空空回来。” Immediately, his look is also dim, „Dragon King the careful sincere this person, many rumors from his here biography, he probably very much wants to set up Dragon King for the enemy. 70,000 cavalries, in addition Golden Roc Castle and Shu Le duplicate[ ***], at least 100,000 people, how many can Dragon King bring?” 马上,他的神色又黯淡下来,“不过龙王得小心多敦这个人,很多谣言都是从他这里传出来的,他好像很想将龙王树立为敌人。70000骑兵,加上金鹏堡和疏勒复[***],至少100000人,龙王能带回来多少？” Shangguan Ru shakes the head, „I do not know, I only have a duty, sees two people, first is Shu Le Crown Prince, he in the exceedingly high pass/test, has saved many matters.” 上官如摇摇头,“我不知道,我只有一个任务,见两个人,第一位是疏勒太子,他在通天关,省了不少事。” Shangguan Ru had not said that the second name, Xu Xiaoyi understands, „I arrange.” 上官如没说第二个名字,许小益心领神会,“我去安排。” Shangguan Ru has taken a bath comfortably, washes off dust, even if also carrying the flagon in the bath barrel, suddenly thinks funny, why can Dragon King believe itself? Why do oneself willingly rush about for him? 上官如舒舒服服地泡了一个澡,洗去一身的尘土,即使在浴桶里也拎着酒壶,突然觉得好笑,龙王为什么要相信自己？自己又为什么心甘情愿地为他奔波？ Some matters are also forever airtight, Shangguan Ru drinks the next fragrance strongly fragrant good wine, the whole person soaks in the water, Jianghu, she thinks, oneself this was in wanderer Jianghu, Dragon King has given her an opportunity, realized the childhood dream. 有些事情永远也想不透,上官如喝下一口香郁的美酒,整个人浸在水里,江湖,她想,自己这是在闯荡江湖,龙王给了她一个机会,实现小时候的梦想。 Shu Le Crown Prince frowned slightly, the present female is simple and beautiful, actually does not meet the present need, as perishing country Crown Prince, he only takes seriously the strength, „are you Dragon King messenger?” 疏勒太子微微皱起眉头,眼前的女子清丽脱俗,却不符合眼下的需要,身为亡国太子,他只重视力量,“你是龙王的信使？” „Right.” “没错。” Crown Prince changes Xu Xiaoyi, as if not believe, Xu Xiaoyi went forward saying: „Sure right, I can guarantee.” He dares certainly to guarantee, but the real reason cannot say, „Shangguan Instructor commands Land of Fragrance, is Dragon King is right-hand.” 太子转向许小益,似乎不太相信,许小益上前一步说:“肯定没错,我可以担保。”他当然敢担保,只是真实原因不能说,“上官教头统领香积之国,是龙王左膀右臂。” The Crown Prince brow stretches immediately, „originally your excellency is world well-known enlisted woman Instructor, loses the respect to lose the respect, what words Dragon King brings?” 太子眉头立刻舒展,“原来阁下就是天下知名的女兵教头,失敬失敬,龙王带来什么话？” Xu Xiaoyi is tactful to draw back, his responsibility is to collect the information, fully realized that which situations should not stay behind. 许小益识趣地退出去,他的职责是收集情报,深知哪些场合不该留下。 „Is very simple, Dragon King said that the Shu Le country was too big, might as well be divided into several, does not know that which same place Crown Prince Your Highness does like?” “很简单,龙王说疏勒国太大了,不如分成几份,不知太子殿下喜欢哪一块？” The Crown Prince face leapt was red, „what meaning? Dragon King what is this? Can the Shu Le country compare favorably with again greatly Northern Court and Central Plains? I......” 太子脸腾地红了,“什么意思？龙王这是什么意思？疏勒国再大能比得上北庭和中原？我……” Crown Prince awakens suddenly, „Dragon King was worried that I submit to the sincere prince, eventually causes the perishing country? Asked Dragon King to feel relieved, the Shu Le country had the bottom line, the sincere army will leave quickly Western Region, his goal was Northern Court, sufficed his busy one.” 太子猛然醒悟,“龙王担心我向多敦王子屈服,最终导致亡国？请龙王放心,疏勒国自有底线,多敦大军很快就会离开西域,他的目标是北庭,够他忙一阵的。” „Western Region is sincere rear area, he will not drop easily, Dragon King wants you to think, who becomes sincere in the Western Region helper, who will become the Shu Le king.” “西域是多敦的后方,他不会轻易放手的,龙王要你想一想,谁成为多敦在西域的帮手,谁就将成为疏勒王。” Crown Prince frowned, he has the suspicion, but always thought that the matter will develop toward a favorable direction, the reminder that Shangguan Ru brings makes the suspicion turn into the determination finally, „Shang Liao, right General Shang Liao!” 太子又皱起眉头,他不是没有过怀疑,可是总觉得事情会朝着有利的方向发展,上官如带来的提醒终于让怀疑变成确定,“尚辽,右将军尚辽！” Gu Shenwei thinks not to have these many actually, he guessed that sincere will choose one between Crown Prince and Shang Liao, Shangguan Ru in fact will be the judgment that will make. 顾慎为想得其实没有这么多,他猜测多敦会在太子与尚辽之间选择一位,上官如实际上是自己做出的判断。 „Help me, I must see the sincere prince, the quicker the better.” Shangguan Ru said, Dragon King in side, she does not find out a bold plan. “帮我个忙,我要见多敦王子,越快越好。”上官如说,龙王不在身边,她自己想出一个大胆的计划。 Wanderer Jianghu needs to plan boldly. 闯荡江湖就需要大胆的计划。 ( to be continued ) （未完待续）
