waking up, he frequently is also thinking this dream, always with no reason at all feels the intense fear, the sound can make him jump, slowly he understood, he must look for that day female, only waits for side her, will again ascend the security sense. 醒来之后,他也经常想着这个梦,总是无缘无故地感到紧张害怕,身后一点声响都能让他跳起来,慢慢地他明白了,他必须去找那个天女,只有待在她身边,才会重拾安全感。 An order transmits from the extremely remote place, Land of Fragrance must form the enlisted woman army once more, goes to Western Region to attend the war. 一道命令从极遥远之地传来,香积之国要再次组建女兵军队,前往西域参加战争。 At that time his was 15 years old , not grown, he wants to participate in the army, has been rejected, „was not good, you were too young, moreover you male, how can mix in the army of woman?” 那时他15岁,还没有成年,他想参加军队,遭到了拒绝,“不行,你太小,而且你是男的,怎么能混在女人的军队里？” He has not given up, instead lobbied in the capital city the youngster of a similar age, „we no longer were the children, cannot make the woman protect Land of Fragrance each time, army that we must completely our duty, form the man.” 他没有放弃,反而去游说都城中年龄相仿的少年,“咱们不再是小孩子了,不能每次都让女人保护香积之国,咱们也得尽自己的义务,组建男人的军队。” He has the prestige among the youngster very much, suggested to win the approval, the partners only set a request: The youngster in city are too few, all puts together is also less than thousand people, must make these in-migrants also join. 他在少年们当中很有威望,建议得到了赞同,伙伴们只提出一个要求:城里的少年太少,全加在一起也不到千人,得让那些迁入者也加入进来。 The youngster leave for different destinations all parties, the external farmer who to these opened up wasteland said: „Western Region is your hometown, there is having the war, Shangguan Instructor

promise, the choice, waits for the miracle, went Western Region to enter the war with us together.” 少年们分赴各方,对那些正在开荒的外来农夫说:“西域是你们的故乡,那里正在发生战争,上官教头是其中一方,她继承了龙王的军队,可是目前处于弱势,她若是战败,香积之国就会归属他人所有,龙王曾经向你们许下的土地也会被夺走,选择吧,是等待奇迹,还是跟我们一块去西域参战。” The scale of Land of Fragrance male soldier army achieves more than 5000 people finally, keeps the domestic minority Great Snow Mountain swordsman to receive the invitation to act as the military officer, the military officers non- old are mostly remnant, has the rich fight experience, can trains to become the soldier one group of youngster and farmers as soon as possible. 香积之国男兵军队的规模最后达到5000余人,留在国内的少数大雪山剑客受到邀请充当军官,军官们大都非老即残,却拥有丰富的战斗经验,能够将一群少年与农夫尽快训练成为战士。 The population of enlisted woman army are more, 10,000 4,000-5,000, they quickly turn from the suspicion excitedly, admitted the male soldier, and acknowledged that they are the main forces of army. 女兵军队的人数更多,有10000四五千,她们很快就从怀疑变成兴奋,接纳了男兵,并且承认他们是军队的主力。 About 20,000 officers embarked, has not caught up with the Jade City most critical time, actually attended hereafter wrap-up war, is crossed Xiaoyao Lake by An Kingdom, with few army union of Shi Guo, attacks to western Kang, sands and benefit three countries together, Dugu Xian can avoid the extra worries from this, deals with the eastern allied armies with single-hearted devotion. 近20000名将士出发了,没有赶上璧玉城最危急的时刻,却参加了此后的扫尾战争,由安国横渡逍遥海,与石国的少量军队联合,共同向西边的康、沙、惠三国进攻,独孤羡由此得以免除后顾之忧,专心应对东部联军。 Under the great pressure of this army, Kang king Shang Liao has to agree to negotiate, he cannot withstand Jade City, Xiaoyao Lake and tripartite converging attack of little as if country's. 正是在这支军队的强大压力之下,康王尚辽不得不同意谈判,他承受不住璧玉城、逍遥海和小宛国的三方夹击。 Xiaoyao Lake battles for one year later, he obtains to allow to go to Jade City finally, pays a visit day female who he has not forgotten frequently. 在逍遥海作战一年之后,他终于获得准许前往璧玉城,拜见他时刻未忘的天女。 „I called Su Ai, the profound peak was reborn in paradise the fort 12 th generation of successor and flowered soul forest sixth generation of big priests, I gave up these titles voluntarily, only hopes that can act as the Shangguan Instructor subordinates dead.” “我叫苏蔼,玄都峰往生堡第12代传人、花魂林第六代大祭司,我自愿放弃这些称号,只希望能够充当上官教头麾下一卒。” Shangguan Ru still remembers Su Ai, he once was kidnapped by Old Man Mu, is her uses/gives Jijiu comes out, but the past child has grown into the healthy youngster, although is only 16 years old, had actually received the temperance of battlefield, has the veteran firm and resolute temperament. 上官如还记得苏蔼,他曾遭到木老头劫持,是她施计救出来的,只是当年的孩子已经长成茁壮的少年,虽然只有16岁,却已经受过战场的锤炼,有着老兵般的坚毅气质。 Su Ai achieved wishes, became the Shangguan Ru transmitting orders officer, two years later, as mission one, arrived at Central Plains Capital City. 苏蔼如愿以偿,成为上官如的传令官,两年之后,作为使团一员,也来到中原京城。 Is he knocks on a door outside, the notification said that some people seek an interview Dragon King. 就是他在外面敲门,通报说有人求见龙王。 Gu Shenwei early forgets the Land of Fragrance sacrifice child cleanly, even if some people introduced in detail, he a short time cannot think, therefore, after opening the door, he sees is only a tall youth, on the face is mixing the immature and calm two entirely different temperament, occasionally catches the eye, flashes before the enthusiasm of crying out for technical skills. 顾慎为早将香积之国的祭童忘得干干净净,即使有人详细介绍,他一时半会也想不起来,所以,开门之后他看到只是一名身材高大的青年,脸上混合着稚嫩与沉稳两种截然不同的气质,偶尔抬眼,闪现出求知若渴的热情。 The interest of Su Ai to Dragon King is higher, even if bows the speech, can only stare at the tip of the toe of Gu Shenwei, reveals excitedly-- he who is hard to conceal compares the locally born Great Snow Mountain swordsman also to worship Dragon King. 苏蔼对龙王的兴趣更高一些,即使躬身说话,只能盯着顾慎为的脚尖,也流露出难以掩饰的兴奋——他比土生土长的大雪山剑客还要崇拜龙王。 „Comes the person saying that asked Pang Jing, how Dragon King to want me to reply him?” The Su Ai manner tone is even more respectful and prudent. “来人自称叫庞靖,龙王要我怎么回答他？”苏蔼的神态语气越发恭谨。 Sits Xu Yanwei mouth in room more casts aside is higher, said to the husband with mouth: „Bootlicker.” 坐在屋内的许烟微嘴越撇越高,用嘴型向丈夫说:“马屁精。” Fang Wenshi shakes the head the smile, although wife's procedure is a little excessive, always compares makes him be able rest assured that overjoyed, to his knowledge, Su Ai has the personal connection very much, particularly came from the Land of Fragrance male and female soldier to these, this young people are the status lofty big priest. 方闻是摇头微笑,妻子的做法虽然有点过分,总比欢天喜地令他放心,据他所知,苏蔼是很有人缘的,尤其是对那些来自香积之国的男女士兵来说,这名年轻人乃是地位崇高的大祭司。 Gu Shenwei turns the head to ask Shangguan Ru, „can I see Pang Jing taking advantage of a room alone?” 顾慎为转头问上官如,“我能借一间屋子单独见庞靖吗？” „Naturally.” Shangguan Ru said, „makes me think......” “当然。”上官如笑着说,“让我想想……” „Uses my this.” Xu Yanwei rushed saying that she has suspended the ostentation, is willing to be the Gu Shenwei working sentiment very much, „I went to other room later.” “就用我这间吧。”许烟微抢着说,她已经摆过排场,很愿意为顾慎为做点事情,“我去别的房间待会。” Does this conveniently, Fang Wenshi is holding the wife of taking off coat big sleeve personally, goes out with Shangguan Ru together. 这样做最方便,方闻是亲自扶着宽衣大袖的妻子,与上官如一道出门。 Su Ai went to greet Pang Jing, Shangguan Ru points at his back to say low voice: „This is my hand/subordinate will do efficiently, named Su Ai, will worship full of admiration to you, you will not make us help, I will not demand, but will take him, will teach him.” 苏蔼前去迎接庞靖,上官如指着他的背影小声说:“这是我手下的得力干将,名叫苏蔼,对你崇拜得五体投地,你不让我们帮忙,我不会强求,可是带上他吧,教教他。” „What teaches him?” Gu Shenwei is stunned, oneself all of meeting as if do not suit the normal person. “教他什么？”顾慎为愕然,自己所会的一切似乎都不适合正常人。 Outside person has soon come, Shangguan Ru smiles to him, had not replied, pursues front Fang Wenshi and Xu Yanwei. 外面的人快要进来了,上官如冲他笑笑,没有回答,追赶前面的方闻是与许烟微。 Gu Shenwei has thought at heart the reason of rejecting: Su Ai is also one of the jade Country Mission, leading him to move about with difficulty, Central Plains Imperial Court will not permit easily. 顾慎为心里已经想好拒绝的理由:苏蔼也是璧玉国使团的一员,带着他行动不便,中原朝廷也不会轻易允许。 Before Pang Jing arrives, Gu Shenwei returns to the room to sit well, changes to a more important matter to come up the train of thought. 庞靖到来之前,顾慎为回屋坐定,将思绪转到更重要的事情上来。 magnificence Princess even emperor's son-in-law is inferior for six years ago the heroic spirit has thrived, to make a bet he who merely, but whirls in the desert disappears does not see, outstanding who present Pang Jing as if has unrecognized talent, presenility, having mind filled with resentment, „Dragon King.” He stands in the entrance, under not cold not pale molecule. 华平公主的驸马远不如六年前英气勃发了,仅仅为了打赌而在沙漠中急行的他消失不见,如今的庞靖仿佛怀才不遇的俊杰,未老先衰,满腹怨气,“龙王。”他站在门口,不冷不淡地微点下头。 Gu Shenwei has not stood up, „Dragon King not in this room.” 顾慎为没有站起身,“龙王不在这间屋子里。” Pang Jing facial features sneer stiffly, his all destroy at present this individual hand, calling anything not to be unimportant. 庞靖面容僵硬地冷笑一声,他的一切都毁在眼前这个人手中,叫什么并不重要。 „Pang Fuma, please wait a bit in this with Young Master Gu, I make the person deliver the tea immediately.” Su Ai has solved the name problem, such a meeting free time, he actually knew „Dragon King” the name was inopportune, Gu Shenwei somewhat is accidental/surprised. “庞驸马,请与顾公子在此稍待,我马上就让人送茶水来。”苏蔼解决了称呼问题,就这么一会工夫,他竟然知道了“龙王”的叫法已不合时宜,顾慎为不禁有些意外。 „Does not use politely.” Pang Jingtou did not return said, „I ’ only discussed several with ‚ Young Master Gu, immediately walked.” “不用客气。”庞靖头也不回地说,“我跟‘顾公子’只谈几句,马上就走。” „Yes.” Su Ai closes the door from outside gently. “是。”苏蔼从外面轻轻关上房门。 Pang Jing goes out forward two steps, has not sat down, „was Young Master Gu same as the past, likes having the words to speak frankly?” 庞靖向前走出两步,没有坐下,“顾公子还跟从前一样,喜欢有话直说？” „Un.” “嗯。” „Is very good, I present the empress dowager commanded.” “很好,我是奉皇太后的谕令来的。” The empress dowager is Pang Jing Elder Sister, two people relations are not close, was very once anxious, but today we are no longer as we have been, the official career hopeless, to lose Pang Jing who the princess trusts, has to look for a backer to oneself well , the compatriot closely always the easiest choice. 皇太后是庞靖的姐姐,两人的关系并不亲密,一度还很紧张,但是今非昔比,仕途无望、失去公主信任的庞靖,不得不给自己找一个靠山,同胞至亲总是最好、最容易的选择。 „I have also been waiting for the verbal message of empress dowager.” “我也一直在等皇太后的口信。” Pang Jing turns back the entrance, outside confirmed nobody, turned around saying: „I must say first a point own matter, to Lin Xiaoshan encounters me to be very regrettable, but catches him is not my idea, sending under custody him to go to the Luo Family village also to have nothing to do with me, I am only...... Follows orders to handle affairs.” 庞靖又走回门口,确认外面没人,转身道:“我要先说一点自己的事情,对林小山的遭遇我很遗憾,可是抓他并非我的主意,押送他前往骆家庄也与我无关,我只是……奉命行事。” „These matters, making Lin Xiaoshan consider.” “这些事情,让林小山自己考虑吧。” Pang Jing listened to threat to mean, the heart cannot help but sank, afterward despised own timid, here was Central Plains Capital City, the Dragon King skill is big, impossible like to act in a self-serving manner Western Region, therefore his sound became chilling, „the empress dowager gave you ten days of time.” 庞靖听出了其中的威胁意味,心不由得一沉,随后蔑视自己的胆怯,这里是中原京城,龙王本事再大,也不可能像在西域一样为所欲为,于是他的声音又变得冷硬了,“皇太后给你十天时间。” „Ten days? This is insufficient.” “十天？这可不够用。” „Is sufficient, is ten days, no one could help you, this was the instruction from superior of empress dowager, I as a rule did not harm.” “够不够用,也是十天,谁也帮不了你,这是皇太后的口谕,我只是照说不误。” „Un, then?” “嗯,然后呢？” „Starting today, tenth day ago, you must discover that crowd of Killer(s), secretly instigation, if due cannot hand over person-- you are the murderer, being forced to share punishment also has Kongtong Faction, because is the purple crane honorable person for the guarantee that you provide, moreover there is Kongtong Faction ** participates in the assassination.” “从今天开始,到第十天之前,你得找出那群杀手,还有幕后主使者,如果到期交不出人——你就是凶手,陪绑的还有崆峒派,因为是紫鹤真人为你提供的担保,而且有崆峒派**参与暗杀。” This did not negotiate likely, reversed image was the ultimatum. 这不像是谈判,倒像是最后通牒。 „The empress dowager this has thrown into the tiger's den me, club that hoping her at least to me catching a tiger.” “皇太后这是把我扔进了虎穴,希望她起码能给我一根打虎的棍棒。” The Pang Jing silent moment, then difficultly opens the mouth, „I was your catching a tiger stick, the empress dowager just appointed me as sect Zhengqing, whom you want to see, to look up anyone, must accompany to go by me.” 庞靖沉默片刻,然后艰难地开口,“我就是你的打虎棍,皇太后刚刚任命我为宗正卿,你想见谁、查谁,都得由我陪同前往。” sect Zhengfu specially manages the emperor's relatives, sect positive/correct a duty holds the post by the emperor's clan according to convention, sect Zhengqing is his assistant, the grade is not low, but Pang Jing still deeply felt ashamed, he rather leads the idle duty or the status is slightly low, but the government position of some manager section. 宗正府专管皇亲国戚,宗正一职按例由皇族担任,宗正卿是其副手,品级不算低,可庞靖仍深感羞愧,他宁愿领闲职或是地位稍低但是总管某部的官职。 Gu Shenwei thinks is actually another matter: The empress dowagers were also suspecting that the Killer(s) secret master is the emperor's clan member. 顾慎为想到的却是另一件事:皇太后也在怀疑杀手们的幕后主人是皇族成员。 „Is good.” “非常好。” „Whom you want to see to ahead of time at least one day tell me, therefore can only waste today.” “你想见谁得提前至少一天告诉我,所以今天只能浪费了。” „Un, making me think, from the most difficult start, tomorrow morning I wants to see Princess magnificence even, in the afternoon sees desolate king.” “嗯,让我想想,就从最难的开始吧,明天上午我想见华平公主,下午见萧王。” Pang Jing complexion is pale, he will expect will have the embarrassing situation, the empress dowager seals his government position at this time like this, must use him and princess's husband and wife probably relates, „good.” He squeezes out a character from the gap between teeth, immediately adds: „I cannot guarantee that you can certainly see these two people.” 庞靖脸色铁青,他就料到会有这样的尴尬局面,皇太后偏偏在这个时候封他官职,大概也是要利用他与公主的夫妻关系,“好。”他从牙缝里挤出一个字,马上补充道:“我不敢保证你一定能见到这两个人。” „Dawn by the principle of righteousness, I believes that the princess and desolate king understand the important surname of this matter, cannot see them, others also had the reason that resists to see.” “晓以大义吧,我相信公主和萧王都明白这件事的重要姓,见不到他们两个,别人也都有了拒见的理由。” In Pang Jingxin surges the impulsion that waves the arms about to walk, what he said: „A matter, you now are not the Central Plains person, therefore should better not to wander about aimlessly, particularly in the evening, lives in the bosom west hall, will have any matter I to deliver to here the news.” 庞靖心中涌起甩手就走的冲动,但他说的是:“还有一件事,你现在不是中原人,所以最好不要乱走,尤其是晚上,就住在怀西馆,有什么事我会将消息送到这里。” Pang Jing turns around to depart, even has not said goodbye, warned itself secretly: This is the opportunity, bears says the shame now, has raising one's head to say by the rear area. 庞靖转身离去,甚至没有告辞,暗暗告诫自己:这是机会,忍得今曰之辱,以后方有出头之曰。 Shangguan Ru came, requested again Gu Shenwei „accepting” Su Ai, points out a fact: „Do not forget, you owe me many favors, ought occasionally also one time.” 上官如来了,再次请求顾慎为“收下”苏蔼,指出一个事实:“别忘了,你欠我许多人情,总该偶尔还一次。” Gu Shenwei has thought that the good rejection reason buries, agreed the recommendation of Shangguan Ru, in fact, he must bring Su Ai to go out immediately. 顾慎为将已经想好的拒绝理由埋藏起来,同意了上官如的推荐,事实上,他立刻就要带苏蔼出门。 He does not want to waste first day in vain, this likely is a war, in initiates the charge before the emperor's clan array, he must solve the extra worries first, „makes us become friends with several Central Plains Jianghu friends.” He said, is not clear, Su Ai wants to study anything from oneself here.( To be continued.) 他不想将第一天白白浪费,这像是一场战争,在向皇族阵列发起冲锋之前,他要先解决后顾之忧,“让咱们去结交几位中原江湖的朋友吧。”他说,还是不明白,苏蔼想从自己这里学习什么。(未完待续。)
