Ning Que first time saw Xiao Hou in the Hulan sea bank last year, after that had meeting of short distance in Tu Yang City, that time Xiao Hou, although competes for the Heavenly Scripture bright calligraphy scroll failure, is forced to reach the agreement to surrender with Academy to turn over to old, but manner still easy assurance, even there is an aggression that hidden and does not send. 宁缺去年在呼兰海畔第一次见到夏侯,其后在土阳城里有了近距离的见面,那时候的夏侯,虽然争夺天书明字卷失败,被迫与书院达成协议解甲归老,但神态依然从容自信,甚至有股隐而不发的霸气。 However today's Xiao Hou actually obviously became old several points, although wore a brand-new armor, although his facial features still cold Lin, but indifferently, body still tall and straight like mountain, but Ning Que actually faintly can smell, transmitted together the moist Chai Fangduo year later stale taste the body of this Great General armed forces. 然而今日的夏侯却明显变得苍老了几分,虽然穿着一身崭新的盔甲,虽然他的眉眼依然冷凛而漠然,身躯依然挺拔如山,但宁缺却隐隐能够闻到,从这位大将军的身上传来一道潮湿柴房多年后的霉味。 Xiao Hou suffers the news that the Devil Sect powerhouse assassinates on the wilderness continuously, although was strictly kept secret by the Great Tang military headquarters, actually still gradually spreads, naturally reached in the ear of Ning Que. 夏侯在荒原上连续遭受魔宗强者刺杀的消息,虽然被大唐军部严格保密,却依然渐渐流传开来,自然传进了宁缺的耳中。 „Devil Sect cleans up the method of rebel, wants compared with the imagination in directly powerful.” “魔宗清理叛徒的手段,比想像中还要直接强悍啊。” Ning Que looks that the distant place by the Xiao Hou back that the huge crowd blocks from, thought that if on Xiao Hou that armor that were chopped to abandon the great blade by Tang hand in , the that extremely pitiful success hopes, may luckily on many point. 宁缺看着远处被人海遮住的夏侯背影,心想如果夏侯身上那件盔甲真的被唐手中那把巨刀砍废了,自己那本来极为可怜的成功希望,或许会幸运地多上一分。 Xiao Hou is empire Great General, title glory, is not Zhang Yiqi the censor or Huang Xing this person, can be assassinated at will, the most essential issue is, day after day old Xiao Hou, is still like that formidable, Ning Que wants to assassinate successfully, and does not leave behind any evidence, basically is the impossible matter. 夏侯是帝国大将,爵位荣耀,不是张贻琦御史或黄兴这种人,可以被人随意暗杀,最关键的问题在于,日渐苍老的夏侯,依然是那般强大,宁缺想要暗杀成功,并且不留下任何证据,基本上是不可能的事情。 Imperial Court and Academy Silence Xiao Hou turns over to tranquilly old, West Ling does not know that is what idea, in brief present Ning Que, seems like behind some innumerable background backers, before the Xiao Hou body, these background backers will not actually strive, then in this case, how he can kill Xiao Hou? 朝廷和书院默允夏侯平静归老,西陵不知道是什么想法,总之如今的宁缺,看似身后有无数背景靠山,在夏侯身前,这些背景靠山却根本不会出力,那么在这种情况下,他怎样才能杀死夏侯？ In Great Tang Tianqi in the spring of 15 in the day that went to the summer solstice autumn to return , a plan formed in the heart of Ning Que gradually, but often remembered this plan, thought some nonsenses including him, how regardless of because to see does not have any successful possibility, if made others know the real content that he planned, for example Li Yu, for example Ye Hongyu, for example Chen Pipi, will think his brain definitely had problems. 就在大唐天启15年春去夏至秋回的日子里,一个计划在宁缺的心中渐渐成形,只不过每每想起这个计划,连他自己都觉得有些荒唐可笑,因为无论怎么看都没有任何成功的可能,如果让别人知道他计划的真实内容,比如李渔,比如叶红鱼,比如陈皮皮,都会觉得他的脑子肯定出了问题。 The entire world, is only Second Senior Brother and Chao Xiaoshu these two fellows will express the support probably. 整个世界,大概只是二师兄和朝小树这两个家伙会表示赞同。 Sang Sang is supporting the chin, looks under the teahouse crowd, suddenly turns the head, looks at Ning Que, on the small face full is the anxious facial expression, said: „Why such worries?” 桑桑撑着下巴,看着茶楼下方的人群,忽然转过头来,看着宁缺,小脸上满是忧虑的神情,说道:“为什么这么着急？” Ning Que said: „Waited for 15 years, I thought that my patience was very good.” 宁缺说道:“已经等了15年,我觉得自己的耐心已经很好。” Sang Sang said very much earnestly: „He is older, we are stronger, when he turns over to the old several years in the countryside, at that time began again, doesn't have confidence?” 桑桑很认真地说道:“等他再老些,我们再强些,等他在乡下归老几年,那时候再动手,不是更有把握？” From infancy to maturity, Ning Que does not want Sang Sang to ponder these bloody brutal matter, but this does not represent him not to teach her, in fact in Mount Min, is on grassland outside Wei City, he has kept instilling into some concept to the young maidservant, regardless of the enemy is always weak or the women and children, so long as can defeat the opposite party, how shameless method uses, how sad mood must bear, must endures most to have confidence get rid, gets rid to make the opposite party die. 从小到大,宁缺都不愿意桑桑去思考那些过于血腥残酷的事情,但这不代表他没有教过她,事实上无论是在岷山里,还是在渭城外的草原上,他一直不停向小侍女灌输着某个概念无论敌人是老是弱还是妇孺,只要能够战胜对方,怎样无耻的手段都用得,怎样难过的情绪都要忍得,要忍到最有把握的时候才出手,出手就要让对方死。 The Ning Que smile said: „If not kill, Xiao Hou was really old.” 宁缺微笑说道:“如果再不去杀,夏侯就真的老了。” Sang Sang asked puzzled: „Isn't such good?” 桑桑不解问道:“那样不好吗？” Ning Que said: „He older time...... Kills him naturally to have confidence, but I was worried, what to do if he does die of illness? Really what to do if he does pass away?” 宁缺说道:“等他更老的时候……杀死他自然更有把握,可我担心,万一他病死怎么办？万一他真的老死怎么办？” Sang Sang does not understand what is heard, thought that if Xiao Hou like this passes away dead of illness, what issue has? 桑桑听不明白,心想如果夏侯就这样老死病死,有什么问题？ She asked: „Isn't such good?” 她问道:“那样不好吗？” The Ning Que nod said: „It is not good.” 宁缺点头说道:“非常不好。” Sang Sang eyebrow micro wrinkle, asked: „Why?” 桑桑眉尖微皱,问道:“为什么？” „Because Xiao Hou is not my enemy.” “因为夏侯不是我的敌人。” After a Ning Que slightly stop , to continue to say calmly: „He is my personal enemy.” 宁缺稍一停顿后,继续平静说道:“他是我的仇人。” Then at this time, the storekeepers and waiters in teahouse returned to the building, was discussing excitedly formerly in the team that by the street saw, was acclaiming the military might of Xiao Hou Great General armed forces. 便在这时,茶楼的掌柜和伙计们回到了楼中,兴奋地议论着先前在街旁看到的队伍,赞叹着夏侯大将军的威武。 Ning Que calmly is listening to the discussion in teahouse, shook the head. 宁缺静静听着茶楼里的议论,摇了摇头。 „Enemy can die of the disaster Zhao Nanhai eating delicacies river bursts, so long as he no longer blocks before our bodies, prevents path that we go forward, destroys our matters, he eats meal to choke, goes to bathroom to stink to high heaven, does not matter.” “敌人可以死于天灾**海啸河溃,只要他不再拦在我们的身前,阻挡我们前进的道路,破坏我们的事情,他就算吃饭噎死,上厕所臭死,都无所谓。” „But the personal enemy is different.” “但仇人不同。” „Takes revenge this matter, if the time drags for a long time is too too long, often gradually will ferment to evolve another flavor, compared with must make the opposite party die, paid the price for the past story, a more important matter, as if must through killing the opposite party by oneself forgot the past story, obtained the true extrication since then.” “复仇这种事情,如果时间拖的太久太长,往往会逐渐发酵演化成另外一种味道,比起要让对方死,为当年的故事付出代价而言,更重要的事情,仿佛是要通过杀死对方让自己忘记当年的故事,从此得到真正的解脱。” He looks at Sang Sang saying: „Makes the personal enemy pay price, has been extricated by oneself, cannot leave the most essential that link eventually, that kills the personal enemy. Moreover he must die in the hand of avenger, cannot die, cannot be killed by the God, cannot think that rests on the bed.” 他看着桑桑说道:“不过无论是让仇人付出代价,还是让自己得到解脱,终究离不开最关键的那个环节,那就是杀死仇人。而且他必须死在复仇者的手中,不能自己死,不能被老天爷害死,不能一觉睡死在床上。” Ning Que remembered was falling rain Chang An East city that year, is thinking in the blacksmith's shop the senior blacksmith of that dying with injustice unredressed, is thinking at that time by the pale hair that the rain water moistened, the facial expression felt frustrated. 宁缺想起那年落着雨的长安东城,想着铁匠铺里那个死不瞑目的老铁匠,想着当时被雨水打湿的苍白头发,神情微惘。 „He cannot even be old, cannot get sick, cannot be thin and pale, should better also be in the life the peak, only then this can bring enough pleasant sensation to the avenger, but this, is the key point of revenge.” “他甚至不能老,不能病,不能憔悴,最好还处于人生的巅峰,只有这样才能给复仇者带来足够的快感,而这,便是复仇的重点。” „Xiao Hou was old.” “夏侯已经老了。” Ning Que formerly had said very much seriously earnestly the words have duplicated. 宁缺很严肃认真地把先前说过的话重复了一遍。 „If not kill him, he was really old.” “如果再不杀他,他就真的老了。” ...... …… ...... …… The Xiao Hou Great General armed forces return to Chang An City, first entered the imperial palace to have an audience with your majesty, then in accepted the title that your majesty has granted toward the meeting above, accepted the respect and expressing best wishes of royal courtiers. 夏侯大将军回到长安城,首先进了皇宫觐见陛下,然后在朝会之上接受了陛下赏赐的爵位,接受了朝臣们的尊敬与致意。 After Royal Court will finish, he has turned down invitation of several Minister Imperial Court, is leading own soldier to the military headquarters turning over the handling military affairs, by the Vermilion Bird main road that meadow azure forest in small building that complements, stayed entire afternoon time, it is said that has had the long-term talk with Great Tang military leader General Xu Shi. 朝会结束之后,他婉拒了几位朝廷大臣的邀约,带着亲兵去往军部交办军务,在朱雀大道旁那片草甸青林掩映的小楼里,停留了整整一个下午的时间,据说与大唐军方领袖许世将军进行了很长时间的谈话。 The twilight gradually draws back, the dim light of night covered Chang An, Xiao Hou left the military headquarters, own soldiers rode a horse to hold the flare, escorted him to arrive at the North City solemn and respectful magnificent and expensive own palace. 暮色渐退,夜色笼罩长安,夏侯离开了军部,亲兵们骑马举着火把,护送他来到北城肃穆华贵的亲王府。 Own palace in dim light of night is brilliantly illuminated, after one common is actually passing the palace family reunion banquet of old friendship, Crown Prince Great Tang Li Peiyan led him to arrive in the study room. 夜色中的亲王府灯火通明,一番寻常却透着旧谊的王府家宴之后,大唐亲王殿下李沛言带着他来到了书房中。 On the black-colored writing desk, puts several dossiers, the handwriting on dossier is having has pale thickly, is not a time writes obviously, above writes some names, name side uses the small dense secret-ink writing very exhaustive explanatory notes and commentaries. 乌黑色的书案上,搁着几份卷宗,卷宗上的字迹有浓有淡,明显不是一个时间段写就,上面写着一些姓名,姓名旁边用小楷密密写着很详尽的注疏。 Zhang Yiqi, Chen Zixian, Yan Suqing, Lin Ling, Gu Xi, Huang Xing, in Shuizhu...... 张贻琦,陈子贤,颜肃卿,林零,谷溪,黄兴,于水主…… These names or expensive or inexpensive, or officer or people or armed forces, but two same characteristics, first these people once were one of the Great Tang military, the next these people died. 这些名字或贵或贱,或官或民或军,但都有两个相同的特点,首先这些人都曾经是大唐军方的一员,其次这些人都死了。 Li Peiyan looks at these names on dossier, silent after long time, said indifferently: „These people died, then explained some already damn the person is also living.” 李沛言看着卷宗上的那些名字,沉默很长时间后淡然说道:“这些人都死了,那么说明有些早就该死了的人还活着。” Xiao Hou reads in the dossier some name, unemotionally saying: „This person has not participated.” 夏侯看着卷宗上某个名字,面无表情说道:“这个人没有参与过。” „He has participated in Yan Territory that matter.” “他参与过燕境那件事情。” Li Peiyan sighed, advanced the one side these dossiers on writing desk, looks that Xiao Hou said anxiously: „Although does not have any evidence, but behind these names as well as the names are hiding these stories, then can show that our worries is right, in the past some Xuanwei General's Residence people were also really living.” 李沛言叹息一声,把书案上的这些卷宗推到一旁,看着夏侯忧虑说道:“虽说没有任何证据,但这些名字以及名字背后隐藏着的那些故事,便可以证明我们的担心是对的,当年宣威将军府果然有人还活着。” Is listening to Lin Guangyuan this name, Xiao Hou that two are similar to the eyebrow of thin iron wire is slowly pressed. 听着林光远这个名字,夏侯那两道如同细铁丝的眉毛缓缓蹙起。 He remembers certainly that who Lin Guangyuan is. 他当然记得林光远是谁。 Several years ago, the Great Tang military has one for Xuanwei general who brave is famous, the name of that general was called Lin Guangyuan, at that time many people believe that Lin Guangyuan was after Xiao Hou Great Tang another brave general. 十几年前,大唐军方有一名以骁勇著称的宣威将军,那位将军的名字叫林光远,当时很多人都认为,林光远是继夏侯之后大唐的又一猛将。 Great Tang Tianqi first year, Xiao Hou extinguished the Lin Guangyuan whole families. 大唐天启元年,夏侯灭了林光远满门。 It is not because he does not like himself some people placing on a par with this general, although he is famous for overbearing cruelly, but frequently has not extinguished the person whole families' interest and hobby. 不是因为他不喜欢有人把自己与这个将军相提并论,他虽然以霸道暴戾著称,但也没有动辄灭人满门的兴趣和爱好。 Xiao Hou narrows the eye slightly, facial expression is somewhat complex. 夏侯微微眯起眼睛,神情有些复杂。 It is not because in his heart has any guilty to that Xuanwei general, this has killed too many people for a lifetime, has handled crueler cold blood matter, confiscates and beheads general whole families can be anything. 不是因为他心中对那位宣威将军有什么愧疚,他这一辈子杀了太多的人,做过更残忍冷血的事情,将一个将军满门抄斩又能算什么。 But the crown prince palace mentioned Lin Guangyuan this name, reminding him of many past matters. 只不过亲王殿提起林光远这个名字,让他想起了很多过去的事情。 Several years ago, the empress empress passed away, Qing He County various families is ready to make trouble, your majesty takes great pains, is having that south imperial concubine who called Xiao Tian You Daze, and regarded the disaster matter. 十几年前,皇后娘娘因病去世,清河郡诸姓蠢蠢欲动,陛下不厌其烦,带着那个叫夏天的妃子南游大泽,兼视灾事。 Xiao Hou meets your majesty secret imperial edict, is leading several thousand cavalries, turns over to Chang An from Tu Yang City darkly, assumes the rear area for your majesty, the auxiliary crown prince regards toward the matter temporarily. 夏侯接陛下密诏,带着数千铁骑,自土阳城暗归长安,替陛下坐镇后方,辅亲王殿下暂视朝事。 He received a secret imperial edict from West Ling Divine Palace. 他又接到了来自西陵神殿的一封密诏。 Facing the West Ling Divine Palace secret imperial edict, he who is in the life most peak, wants to continue to enjoy the respect of common people, therefore accepted the request of opposite party very much quietly. 面对西陵神殿的密诏,正处于人生最巅峰时期的他,想要继续享受着世人的尊敬,所以很平静地接受了对方的请求。 In Chang An City started a reactionary reign of terror, Xuanwei General's Residence whole families completely has executed. 长安城里掀起了一场血雨腥风,宣威将军府满门尽诛。 Xiao Hou knows one do this, will enrage is going on patrol greatly Ze's emperor, but he believes at his merit, your majesty again how great anger, is impossible without evidence, begins to oneself, moreover he is hoping faintly your majesty is in a rage, will then not confer that the imperial concubine who called Xiao Tian was the empress. 夏侯知道自己这样做,会激怒正在巡游大泽的皇帝陛下,不过他相信以自己的功绩,陛下再如何盛怒,也不可能在没有证据的情况下,对自己动手,而且他隐隐期盼着陛下一怒之下,便不会册封那个叫夏天的妃子做皇后。 He does not want his blood younger sister to become the Great Tang empress, because he knows that this is a very dangerous matter. However he has not thought that your majesty still became the empress empress by his younger sister. 他不愿意自己的亲妹妹成为大唐的皇后,因为他知道这是件很危险的事情。然而他没有想到,陛下依然让自己的妹妹成为了皇后娘娘。 Compared with these stories, actually the stone lion before Xuanwei General's Residence dyed many blood and dust, has not made Xiao Hou change countenance, does not have the qualifications to make him sad. 和这些故事比较起来,宣威将军府前的石狮究竟染了多少血和尘埃,从来没有让夏侯动容过,更没有资格让他感伤。 ...... …… ...... …… In own palace study room. 亲王府书房内。 Li Peiyan looks that Xiao Hou said bitterly and astringently: „Lin Guangyuan also has the bloodlines to spread in world unexpectedly, this matter this cannot be regarded anything, but if that vowed that for general young master who he takes revenge, now becomes Master passes on the disciple, has become the 13 gentlemen in Academy two-story building, this matter troubled.” 李沛言看着夏侯苦涩说道:“林光远居然还有血脉在世间流传,这件事情本也算不得什么,但如果那个矢志替他复仇的将军公子,如今成为夫子的亲传弟子,成了书院二层楼的13先生,这件事情就麻烦了。” The Xiao Hou silent moment said: „The meaning of your highness is...... Is Ning Que the Lin Guangyuan son?” 夏侯沉默片刻说道:“殿下的意思是……宁缺是林光远的儿子？” The Li Peiyan sigh said: „I do not want to acknowledge that this is real, but except for this, does not have other explanation.” 李沛言叹息说道:“我也不想承认这是真的,但除了这个,没有别的解释。” „In the past Xuanwei General's Residence confiscated and beheaded a main points I to supervise personally, can be exempt from punishment the person of mansion to be extremely few according to Law of the Tang, did not have the agreement to tie the temporary employment of document, was impossible to have the fish slip through.” “当年宣威将军府抄斩一案由我亲自监督,依唐律可以免刑出府之人极少,都是没有契结文书的临时雇佣,不可能有漏网之鱼。” Xiao Hou looks the candlelight that on the writing desk swings, unemotionally saying: „Lin Guangyuan has two sons, characteristics record in the book, I have inspected personally.” 夏侯看着书案上微摇的烛火,面无表情说道:“林光远只有两个儿子,身上的特征都记录在册,我亲自查验过。” Li Peiyan said: „Then this explained that some people fudged.” 李沛言说道:“那么这说明有人动了手脚。” The Xiao Hou facial expression said indifferently: „Ning Que is the Lin Guangyuan son, how can he?” 夏侯神情冷漠说道:“就算宁缺是林光远的儿子,他又能如何？” ...... ……
