Next morning. 翌日清晨。 5 to 7 a.m. the end, carries out the second round „bombing” 3000 tian gou army safely returned to Shanshen Temple. 卯时末,执行完第二轮“轰炸”的三千天狗军平安返回了山神庙。 Last night sneak attack altogether threw 8000 barrels of gunpowder, is Liangzhou now the complete black powder reserve. 昨夜的偷袭一共丢了八千桶火药,是凉州现在全部的黑火药储备。 The tian gou army died in battle more than hundred people, is basically shot down carefully. 天狗军这边战死百余人,基本都是不小心被击落的。 But thought the season allied armies at least casualty 100,000 people. 而觉季联军则至少死伤了十万人。 The official fight has not started, army then in one night personnel losses 1/8. 正式战斗还未打响,大军便在一夜之间减员了八分之一。 So the loss is nothing less than big, made the allied armies that threatened suddenly become fearful and apprehensive. 如此损失不可谓不大,亦令原本气势汹汹的联军一时间变得心惊胆战。 They do not know the tian gou army also to be able old trick heavy, but black powder that frightening might forced them to make most discrete dealing. 他们不知道天狗军这边还会不会故技重施,但黑火药那令人恐惧的威力还是逼迫他们做出了最为谨慎的应对。 Starting from 7 to 9 a.m, the other 700,000 people then stopped marching, pitches camp same place at the same time also occupied the complete peak within surrounding area dozens li (0.5 km) range at the extremely quick speed, guarded that the matter of sneak attack repeats. 自辰时开始,剩余的七十万人便停止了行军,原地扎营的同时还以极快的速度占据了方圆数十里范围内的全部高峰,谨防偷袭之事重演。 On the other hand, various types of originally prepare the great arrow car(riage) crossbow that makes attacking a city to use also to be arranged around the camp, becomes powerful weapon that copes with the tian gou army. 另一方面,各种原本准备作攻城之用的巨箭车弩也被纷纷布置在营地周围,成为了对付天狗军的强力军械。 Without a doubt, last night two rounds of bombing let think that season allied armies mind/square inch chaos, the present goal has turned „did not strive for cherishing only the hope of avoiding mistakes active”. 毫无疑问,昨夜的两轮轰炸让觉季联军方寸大乱,如今的目标已然变成了“不求有功但求无过”。 Attacking and capturing Liangzhou is the later matter, at present must first guarantee that cannot die again too many people under this type of powerful gunpowder. 攻克凉州是以后的事,眼下首先要保证不能再在这种威力巨大的火药之下死太多人了。 In the enemy intelligence unclear situation, this dealing is nothing wrong. 在敌情不明的情况下,这种应对并没有什么错。 But unexpectedly tian gou army has not actually followed up a victory with hot pursuit. 但出人意料的是天狗军方面却并未乘胜追击。 Instead is the 40 Wan Daning armies in Liangzhou city sends out suddenly all, arrived in nearby Shanshen Temple two days later, and in looking at Nanfeng starts to construct the fortification. 反而是凉州城中的四十万大宁军队突然尽数出动,在两天之后抵达了山神庙附近,并于望南峰一线开始构筑工事。 Hence, fought from „immortal pond surprise attack” merely over the past three days, the situation of Liangzhou war then had the huge change. 至此,距离“仙池奇袭”一战仅仅过去三天,凉州战事的局势便发生了巨大的变化。 Although both armies battleline at this time is separated by several snowy mountains, each other is not expected. 两军阵线此时虽然相隔数座雪山,彼此不可望。 But the straight distance between two actually is less than hundred li (0.5 km). 但二者之间的直线距离却只有不到百里。 This means that no matter which side decides to make war comprehensively, his army can kill to the opposite party in front in one day. 这意味着不管哪一方决定全面开战,其大军都可以在一天之内杀至对方面前。 Meanwhile, this also represents Liangzhou to fight is earlier than the anticipation, ahead of time entered the momentarily detonated final moment. 同时,这也代表着凉州大战已经早于预期,提前进入了随时都会被引爆的最后关头。 Actually can hit? 究竟会不会打？ This issue and has no necessity that is worth discussing in most people opinion. 这个问题在大多数人看来并没有什么值得讨论的必要。 After all Wei Changtian captured alive Yan Huanwen not saying that but also almost destroyed completely with a surprise attack complete vanguard army that thought the season allied armies. 毕竟魏长天生擒了闫焕文不说,还用一次奇袭几乎灭掉了觉季联军的全部先锋军。 Only latter has intensified the irreconcilable situation contradictions of both sides, let alone the supreme enlightenment once prepared about the war on this time greatly for a long time. 单是后一项就已经把双方的矛盾激化到了不可调和的地步,更别说大觉曾就此番大合战准备了许久。 Therefore, perhaps the present issue is only „when to hit”. 所以,眼下的问题或许只在于“什么时候打”。 However...... 不过...... In February/two months 13, „immortal pond surprise attack” post-war sixth day, both armies form facing potential in Tianshan third day. 二月十三,“仙池奇袭”之战后的第六天,两军于天山之中形成对垒之势的第三天。 That night 11 p.m. to 1 a.m, an old court eunuch from the supreme enlightenment imperial palace, found Daning Zhan Shifu to send quietly in the envoy of supreme enlightenment. 当夜子时,一个老太监从大觉皇宫而出,悄悄找到了大宁詹事府派驻在大觉的使臣。 The latter is surnamed Jia, at that time just prepared to sleep. 后者姓贾,彼时刚刚准备睡觉。 Has not waited for him to take off the clothes, then saw that several black-clothed person do not know when stood in oneself behind. 只是还未等他把衣服脱掉,便见到数个黑衣人已然不知何时站在了自己身后。 „Who you and are you?!” “你、你们是什么人？！” „The two countries battle does not cut to cause! You did not do to act sloppily!” “两国交战不斩来使！尔等休要胡来！” „......” “......” „Sir Jia, me this time am present the secret order to come, the rash place also asked you to extend forgives.” “贾大人,咱家此番乃奉密令而来,莽撞之处还请您宽谅。” Looked at a complexion pale envoy, the black clothes court eunuch lowered the head to arch cupping one hand in the other across the chest. 看了一眼脸色铁青的使臣,黑衣太监低头拱了拱手。 „I want to chat with you toward imperial prince your highness.” “我朝皇子殿下想与您聊聊。” „Please.” “请吧。” ...... ...... ...... ...... „First puts down, how you and Song Miss knew?” “先平,你与宋姑娘是如何认识的啊？” Outside Liangzhou city, Shu army even/including battalion. 凉州城外,蜀军连营。 Now is late at night, but in some top leaning tent/account is also shining the light. 如今已是深夜,但某顶偏帐之中还亮着光。 clear/pain is first straight before the table tuart reads some information that feeds from the supreme enlightenment, Li Zimu is sitting in the opposite, rubs an inkstick, while " cheerful , interested " pursues asks: 楚先平正在桌桉前翻看着从大觉传回的一些情报,李子木则是坐在对面,一边研墨,一边兴致盎然的追问道: „Said, this is not the secret!” “说说嘛,这又不是什么秘密！” „What person is she?” “她是个什么样的人啊？” „......” “......” Without a doubt, Li Zimu mouth „Song miss” clear/pain Xianping name brand madame, 毫无疑问,李子木嘴里的“宋姑娘”正是楚先平的正牌夫人, Song Li. Song Li was clear/pain Xianping is presenting the Yuan brothel understanding, therefore the latter is not naturally willing to relate in detail this matter. 宋梨。宋梨是楚先平在奉元的青楼认识的,所以后者自然不愿意细说此事。 But Li Zimu sees him not to say a word, immediately guesses correctly anything indistinctly. 而李子木见他一言不发,立刻就隐约猜出了什么。 „First puts down, Song wasn't Miss good with my same family background?” “先平,宋姑娘是不是跟我一样出身不好呀？” „Un.” “嗯。” clear/pain Xianping hesitant, puts out a few words in a soft voice. 楚先平犹豫了一下,轻声吐出一句话。 „Is I for the body that she redeems.” “是我替她赎的身。” „......” “......” The meaning of these words representative is obvious, Li Zimu cannot help but stares slightly, at once sighs low voice: 这句话代表的意思再明显不过,李子木不由得稍稍一愣,旋即小声感叹道: „She was very certainly attractive.” “那她一定很漂亮了。” „Yes.” “是。” clear/pain Xianping is still reticent: „Very attractive.” 楚先平依然惜字如金:“很漂亮。” „Compared with me?” “跟我比呢？” „This......” “这个......” „Giggle, it seems more attractive than me.” “咯咯咯,看来是要比我好看了。” Li Zimu eyes become the crescent moon curved, the tone somewhat teased: „No wonder you will marry her!” 李子木眼睛弯成月牙,语气有些调侃:“难怪你会娶她呢！” „I am not she who because her appearance marries......” “我不是因为她的样貌才娶的她......” clear/pain Xianping shakes the head, the look is complex. 楚先平摇了摇头,眼神复杂。 „Her father owed the gambling debt, was insolvent, then to sell the brothel her.” “她爹欠了赌债,无力偿还,便把她卖到了青楼。” „I see her to feel sorry, therefore redeemed the body for her.” “我见她可怜,于是替她赎了身。” „I think that among us fate also so, who knew her unexpectedly to find me afterward.” “我本以为我们之间的缘分也就如此了,谁知后来她竟然找到了我。” „Again then......” “再然后......” „Then the Song miss must pledge yourself again.” “再然后宋姑娘就要以身相许。” Li Zimu hits to block the way suddenly with a smile: „You do not dislike her, therefore then complied, right?” 李子木突然笑着打断道:“你也并不反感她,于是便答应了,对么？” „......” “......” Looked up a smiling Li Zimu, clear/pain first the flat spot the nod. 抬头看了一眼笑盈盈的李子木,楚先平点了点头。 „Yes, almost is this.” “是,差不多便是这样。” „I said.” “我就说嘛。” Li Zimu happily shook the head, then also the meaningful neutral tone said: 李子木得意的晃了晃脑袋,然后又意味深长的轻声说道: „The Song miss may really achieve wishes to find a gratifying my dear.” “宋姑娘可真是如愿找到了一位称心的郎君呢。” „......” “......” The eye narrows the eyes slightly, clear/pain Xianping naturally listened to Li Zimu's words the meaning. 眼睛微微眯起,楚先平自然听出了李子木的话中之意。 It looks like in the latter, Song Li married him is actually not because of anything „sentiment”, but net worth and power and influence that because he showed at that time. 在后者看来,宋梨之所以嫁给他其实并非因为什么“感情”,而是因为他那时展现出来的身家和权势。 „Li Miss, time not early!” “李姑娘,时候不早了！” Suddenly, ice-cold that clear/pain Xianping the complexion immediately changes: „You , if all right then please return, does not deliver!” 一时间,楚先平的脸色顿时变的冰冷:“你若是没事的话便请回吧,不送！” „Snort, knows that you do not like listening......” “哼,就知道你不爱听......” Sees clear/pain Xianping to catch up with the person suddenly, Li Zimu is not but actually angry. 见楚先平突然就要赶人,李子木倒也不恼。 Side she will grind the good ink slab to advance clear/pain to be first even, then selfish standing up body, low voice drop gu: 她将研好的墨台推到楚先平手边,然后就自顾自站起身子,小声滴咕着: „In any case what I said is really false, yourself must clearest.” “反正我说的是真是假,你自己应当最清楚。” „......” “......” Deeply inspires, clear/pain Xianping has not spoken again, but lowers the head to pretend to read several confidential letters. 深吸一口气,楚先平没再说话,只是低头假装翻看着几封密信。 Actually, he indeed had felt Song Li is not right. 其实,他的确早就感觉到了宋梨的不对劲。 Since two people get married, the latter overflowed several days then to propose that must study Xu Qingwan to do business, said that must look for a matter to do. 自打二人成婚后,后者没过几日便提出要学徐青婉做生意,说是要找点事情做。 clear/pain Xianping naturally depended on her, and also made the benefit society many lend a hand in secret. 楚先平自然依了她,并且还令共济会暗中多加帮衬。 Afterward, Song Li the business was even more prosperous, gained many silver. 后来,宋梨的生意越发红火,也赚了不少银子。 But this time she no longer has actually satisfied is only a rich merchant, must mix in the benefit society unexpectedly. 可这时的她却已经不再满足于只做一个富商,竟然又要掺和进共济会之中。 Before this matter clear/pain Xianping, has discussed with Wei Changtian, latter being disinclined manages. 这事儿楚先平之前就跟魏长天商议过,后者懒得管。 But clear/pain Xianping did not have really to allow Song Li to enter the benefit society finally. 而楚先平最终也没有真的准许宋梨进入共济会。 However even so, Song Li actually depended her as before „rudder Lord madame” status frequently line „bossing the marketplace” matter. 不过即便如此,宋梨却依旧仗着她“舵主夫人”的身份经常行一些“欺行霸市”的事情。 Not is extremely serious, may also make various line of various cities of Shu state city quite have the complaint...... 并不算太过严重,可也让蜀州城的各行各市颇有怨言...... The candlelight sways, the reflected person's shadow is lanky. 烛火摇晃,映的人影瘦长。 At this time Li Zimu has arrived by the tent/account curtain, prepares to raise the curtain to go out. 此时李子木已经走到了帐帘旁边,准备掀帘出去。 Looks at former's back, clear/pain first the unemotional taste is very complex. 看着前者的背影,楚先平心中滋味十分复杂。 He knows what Li Zimu said is right, then some compunctions in oneself just attitude, open mouth to apologize. 他知道李子木说的是对的,便有些内疚于自己刚刚的态度,张了张嘴想要道歉。 However has not waited for him „to be sorry” that says, off-balance actually first step passes on an anxious sound. 然而还没等他将那句“抱歉”说出口,帐外却先一步传进来一个急切的声音。 „Young Master clear/pain!” “楚公子！” „Young Master Wei invites you and Li Miss goes to state alley discussing official business now immediately!” “魏公子请您和李姑娘现在立刻去往州衙议事！”
