In December 29, end of the year eve. 腊月二十九,年关前夜。 In the Taiyuan city the firecrackers sound, the brilliant smoke and fire may hear above the Fen River distantly, gathers hundreds of thousands of population in the giant cities put on a show of peace and prosperity, be continuous several li (0.5 km) side army battalion within/inner, immerses in the atmosphere of discarding the old for the new continually greatly. 太原城内爆竹声声,绚烂烟火在汾河之上遥遥可闻,聚集数十万人口的巨大城池内歌舞升平,连绵延数里的边军大营内,都沉浸在辞旧迎新的气氛中。 Rushes about after 800 li (0.5 km), Xu Buling in night, rushed to the projection bay of Fen River upstream, found anchored the large ship in harbor. 经过八百里奔波,许不令在深夜时分,赶到了汾河上游的崖头湾,找到了停泊在港口内的楼船。 Taiyuan has been far away from Youzhou, the west side in eastern front, from the Chang'an 900 li (0.5 km), walks toward the west, crosses Luliang, to extend the state, then to the original state , the original state was stationed in Western Liang troops and horses directly, was basically equal to going home to there. 太原已经远离幽州,地处东部战线的西侧,距离长安九百里,往西走,过吕梁、延州,便直接到了原州附近,原州驻扎有西凉兵马,到了那里基本上就等于回家了。 Arrives in Taiyuan, Wolf Guards and pursuing troops has been missing, but the imperial jade seal in the body , Xu Buling does not have hurrying along a grand scale for safety's sake, is going into hiding along the way the whereabouts. 抵达太原,狼卫和追兵都已经不见了踪影,不过玉玺在身,为了保险起见,许不令也没有大张旗鼓的赶路,沿途还是隐匿着行迹。 When arrives in the Fenshui river bank the harbor, the time has crossed three, altogether while Jiujiu and Chuchu / neat of horse by the same place, is drowsy, on the cheeks brings several points of thin and pale, obviously is long-distance rushes about to be the result. 抵达汾河畔的港口时,时间已经过了三更,共乘一马的玖玖和楚楚靠在一起,都是昏昏欲睡,脸颊上带着几分憔悴,显然是长途奔波所致。 Ning Qingye is firm and resolute, never revealed that in front of Xu Buling weak side, the figure sits in straightly immediately, the long hair dances in the breeze along with the night wind, seem very natural. 宁清夜性格坚毅,从不在许不令面前表露出软弱的一面,身形笔直坐在马上,长发随夜风飘舞,看起来还挺潇洒。 Found Chuchu / neat to lie in Zhongli Jiujiu conducts the back to fall asleep, Ning Qingye opened the mouth saying: 瞧见楚楚趴在钟离玖玖背上睡着了,宁清夜开口道: „Runs does that anxiously, did not fear dies of exhaustion your family Young Lady Jiu?” “跑这么急作甚,就不怕把你家九姑娘累死？” Zhongli Jiujiu was drowsy, hearing this saying to awake immediately, does not dare to speak the harsh language actually, is only the supple sound said: „What Young Lady Jiu, Qingye, you called my elder sister to be good.” 钟离玖玖本来昏昏欲睡,听见这话顿时醒了,倒是不敢说重话,只是柔声道:“什么九姑娘,清夜,你叫我姐姐就好了。” Xu Buling walks in the Ning Qingye body side, is actually very also exhausted, but sees the distant place to flutter the large ship on river surface, smiled with a sense of relief under: 许不令走在宁清夜身侧,其实也很疲惫,不过看到远方飘在河面上的楼船,还是如释重负的笑了下: „Tomorrow is the year 30, must the whole family sit together eats meal is not, now no, can rest to the ship on tired well.” “明天就是年三十,总得一家人坐在一起吃个饭不是,现在累点没啥,到了船上可以好好休息。” After Ning Qingye finds the ships, then sped up horse speed, ran up to the riverside. 宁清夜瞧见船只后,便加快了马速,跑到了河边。 Xu Buling brings Ye Ying and master and disciple two follows, turns over/stands up dismount in the shore, guard King's mansion welcomed immediately. 许不令带着夜莺和师徒俩紧随其后,在岸边翻身下马,王府护卫马上迎了过来。 The lamps of two ship's towers extinguished, only then in two building marriage Room is also shining the lights, the window appears a female to write the silhouette of writing. 两层船楼的灯都灭了,只有二楼婚房中还亮着灯火,窗口显出一个女子执笔书写的侧影。 Xu Buling saw that making the guard do not drag in lots of people to disturb the rest of young lady, after leading a horse the deck, trend ship's tower softly. 许不令见状,让护卫不要兴师动众打扰了姑娘们的休息,牵着马上了甲板后,轻手轻脚的走向船楼。 Zhongli Jiujiu is not big serves tea to fellow elder sisters in the evening, went to oneself room silently. Chuchu / neat wants to find sisters Yufu to complain actually, but the weather is not good to disturb others late, then also returned to the room. Ning Qingye went to the Ning Yuhe room report to be safe. 钟离玖玖也不好大晚上给各位姐姐敬茶,默默回了自己房间。楚楚倒是想找好姐妹玉芙诉诉苦,不过天色太晚也不好打扰人家,便也回了房。宁清夜则是去了宁玉合的房间报平安。 Xu Buling makes Ye Ying return to the room to rest, is raising alone the wooden box that is loaded with the imperial jade seal, arrives at two buildings quietly, lifted the hand to knock the door. 许不令让夜莺回房休息,独自提着装有玉玺的木盒,静悄悄走到二楼,抬手敲了敲房门。 Thump thump —— 咚咚—— „Comes.” “进来。” The door shoves open, catches the eye then sees a candle lamp to place on the spacious desk, in the room is joyful, the curtain lower berth the scarlet bedding, the assorted gold vessel is placed in the table-top. 房门推开,抬眼便看见一盏烛灯放在宽大书桌上,房间里充满喜气,幔帐下铺着大红被褥,各色金器摆在案头。 Wears the black to rest Xiao Qi of skirt to sit after the desk, such as the black ink long hair hangs loose is conducting the back, had obviously just bathed, the skin also has several points to blush, resembling freshly and beautifully is bright-colored, but the makings aloof, on the face does not have the least bit mood as before. 身着黑色睡裙的萧绮坐在书桌后,如墨长发披散在背上,明显刚刚沐浴过,皮肤还带着几分红晕,似出水芙蓉般明艳动人,不过气质依旧高冷,脸上没有半点情绪。 Xu Buling entered the marriage room, Xiao Qi looked in an instant, turns head to continue to read the letter, but quick was the expression one stiffly, has turned the head fiercely, facial expression and past calm widely divergent, set out from the chair directly, by the window, hand was covering under the belly, stared the big eye: 许不令进入婚房,萧绮转眼瞄了下,回过头去继续看信件,只是很快便是表情一僵,猛地转过头,神情与往日的波澜不惊大相径庭,直接从椅子上起身,靠在了窗口,手儿掩着肚子下面,瞪大眼睛: „Xu Buling, how did you come back?” “许不令,你怎么回来了？” ?? ？？ The eyeful gentle Xu Buling expressions are also one stiff, looks at the mature intellectuality fiancee, saw after him , the least bit does not have joyfully, but also reveals so evades such as the appearance of viper, in the heart is not comfortable, frowns saying: 满眼温柔的许不令表情也是一僵,看着成熟知性的未婚妻,见到他后半点喜悦都没有,还露出这般避如蛇蝎的模样,心中自是不怎么舒服,蹙眉道: „Qiqi, how? Doesn't welcome me?” “绮绮,怎么了？不欢迎我？” „It is not......” “不是……” Xiao Qi responded quickly, knows that spoke incorrectly the words, put down the hand to stand rapidly several points, showed the smile: 萧绮反应很快,知道说错了话,迅速放下手站直了几分,露出笑容: „husband, is I disrespectful...... is only has not thought that you come back is so quick, should meet your......” “相公,是我失礼……只是没想到你回来这么快,该去接你的……” Xu Buling nods, although is a little vacant, but Xiao Qi is busy with the official business all day, almost without idling time, the weather too late a little absent-minded is also normal, then toward has not gone at heart. He closes the door, raises the imperial jade seal to place on the desk, lifts the hand then to Xiao Qi hug, goes all out. 许不令点了点头,虽然有点茫然,不过萧绮整日忙于公事,几乎没有闲下来的时候,天色太晚有点失神也是正常,便也没往心里去。他关上房门,提着玉玺放在书桌上,抬手便要把萧绮抱过来,大干一场。 The Xiao Qi eyeground is somewhat panic-stricken and embarrassed, under the belly by younger sister scribblings, where is dared to make the fiance see, she initiates an attack hastily, grips both hands that Xu Buling extends, stood on tiptoes the tip of the toe to kiss the mouth on the Xu Buling face slightly, then said: 萧绮眼底有些惊恐和窘迫,肚皮下被妹妹鬼画符,哪里敢让未婚夫看到,她连忙主动出击,握住许不令伸过来的双手,微微踮起脚尖在许不令脸上亲了口,然后道: „Said the proper business, the grown man, other light is thinking the red light district.” “说正事吧,大男人的,别光想着温柔乡。” Xu Buling knows the Xiao Qi temper, knows that now the situation is not right, then does not have is too irritable, sat down on the large round-backed wooden armchair, patted the leg: 许不令知道萧绮的性子,也知道现在形势不对劲,便没有太急躁,在太师椅上坐下,拍了拍腿: „ You leave spend all day- > > “你别整天费-->> The brain light is thinking the proper business, this/should rest must rest, otherwise the body cannot shoulder. ” 脑子光想着正事,该休息也得休息,不然身体扛不住。” Xiao Qi very clever sits down on the Xu Buling leg, the happy expression is gentle: „I do not think these, you counted on that Xiang'er and Hongluan are inadequate? Must have to supply ideas to you......” 萧绮很乖巧的在许不令腿上坐下,笑意轻柔:“我不想这些,你指望湘儿、红鸾想不成？总得有个给你出谋划策的……” Xu Buling nods, thought that Xiao Qi is too a little clever today, like the past aggressive domineering intellectuality young lady, did not ponder over completely secretly, also only considered the short separation to win newly-married. He looks in an instant to the desk: 许不令点了点头,觉得萧绮今天有点太乖了,完全不像往日霸气强势知性的大小姐,暗暗琢磨了下,也只当是小别胜新婚了。他转眼望向书桌: „Has the urgent message?” “有紧急消息？” Xiao Qi mentioned the proper business, then hidden went to the concubine some shy, took up the letter paper on table, by the Xu Buling bosom, said earnestly: 萧绮说起正事,便隐去了小女人的些许羞怯,拿起桌上的信纸,靠在许不令怀里,认真道: „In the past few days, Jianghu fierce bandit Sun Gan, stone spring/lust and the others corbelled out the revolt in Jiangnan, should be the arrangement of King Wu, was early deliberate, the government authorities also responded slowly, but the short ten days of time, then expanded more than 20,000 people the rebel army. Muzhou guards loosely, 3000 defend the army to hit continually has not hit then abandons the city to escape, by the present does not know that developed what kind of appearance.” “前些天,江湖悍匪孙乾、石春等人在江南挑头起义,应该是吴王的安排,早有预谋,官府也反应迟钝,不过短短十天功夫,便把叛军扩充到了两万余人。睦州防备疏松,三千守备军连打都没打便弃城而逃,到现在已经不知道发展成何等模样了。” Xu Buling seems not strange, is hugging Aunt Xiao Ting, read the old schoolmate Xiao Ting hand-written letter letter: 许不令对此似乎不奇怪,抱着萧庭姑姑,看了看老同学萧庭的手书信件: „The Jiangnan soldiers have not gone to war, in addition King Wu creates difficulties, naturally flees at the mere distant sight. What is the Chang'an City that side responded?” “江南兵都没打过仗,加上吴王从中作梗,自然是望风而逃。长安城那边是什么反应？” Xiao Qi takes up another letter on table: „Your Majesty asked to be furious, but possibly also guessed correctly was not right, has not scolded King Wu, has not urged the King Wu suppression, but transmitted orders Western Liaoning Protectorate and Yu and Wei two kings, under fast dispatched troops to Jiangnan to put down a rebellion.” 萧绮拿起桌上的另一封信件:“圣上问讯震怒,不过可能也猜到了不对劲,并未责骂吴王,也未督促吴王镇压,而是传令辽西都护府和豫、魏两王,速速派兵下江南平叛。” Xu Buling nods gently: „It seems like Song Ji is not silly.” 许不令轻轻点头:“看来宋暨不傻。” Xiao Qi shakes the head: „Your I am an outsider, the obtained news are many, can size up the situation correctly. Chang'an City was kept in the dark, surely does not have your me to look farther ahead. Your Majesty guesses correctly is King Wu is attempting to pervert, but not the clear King Wu layout, only considers King Wu to want taking advantage of the refugee to revolt to take advantage of a favorable situation. But by my guess, Yu and Wei two kings has been in cahoots with King Wu inevitably, King Wu does not want to support oneself for the emperor, but relies on the abundant financial resource support strength strongest King Wei high-rank. At this time passes on the aim to put down a rebellion, Wei and Yu two kings will definitely agree overtly, but oppose in secret, walks for day to rest three days of protracted time.” 萧绮摇了摇头:“你我是局外人,得到的消息多,自是能看清局势。长安城被蒙在鼓里,肯定没你我看得远。圣上猜出是吴王在做手脚,但不清楚吴王的布局,只当是吴王想借着流民起义乘势而起。但以我的猜测,豫、魏两王必然早已和吴王串通一气,吴王也不是想自立为帝,而是凭借雄厚财力扶持战力最强的魏王上位。此时传旨平叛,魏、豫两王肯定阳奉阴违,走一天歇三天拖延时间。” Xu Buling thought, approves to this view actually greatly. 许不令思索了下,对这个说法倒是大为认同。 Under the King Wu Jiangnan soldier cannot go to war, possibility better than nothing of rebellion. King Wei is different, King Wei and King Yue guard the south, with the Southern Yue positive/direct approach. 吴王手底下的江南兵根本打不了仗,造反的可能性聊胜于无。魏王则不同,魏王和越王镇守南方,和南越正面接敌。 King Yue is in the poor mountain remote place, the poor armor even cannot collect, is in Seven Vassal Kings buys the soy sauce, simply has not had the feeling, basically is King Wei alone town/subdues Southern Yue. Although the soldier quality misses compared with the northern border, but the King Wei compete land under heaven capital has. 越王身在穷山僻壤,穷的连铠甲都凑不齐,是七位藩王中打酱油的,根本没存在感,基本上是魏王独镇南越。虽说兵员素质比北疆这边差一下,但魏王逐鹿天下的资本是有的。 „Perhaps that Jiangnan wanted the chaos, does not know that must die many people.” “那江南恐怕要大乱了,不知要死多少人。” Xiao Qi sighed: „Continuing, Yu and Wei two kings is motionless, puts down a rebellion to depend entirely on Western Liaoning Protectorate to mobilize soldiers, but few days ago, Nation Succeeding Jade Seal and your matter passed to Chang'an, to prevent King Su storm Guanzhong said, Chang'an City adjusted the west line massive crack troops, if at this time some people attempted to pervert on the east line mountain pass, turned back in order to help friendly forces continually without enough time.” 萧绮叹了口气:“不止,豫、魏两王不动,平叛全靠辽西都护府调兵,而前些日子,传国玉玺和你的事儿传到长安,为了防止肃王强攻关中道,长安城把大量精兵调去了西线,这时候要是有人在东线关隘上做手脚,连回援都来不及。” A Xu Buling brow wrinkle: „Is this King Wu plans?” 许不令眉头一皱:“这都是吴王谋划的？” „Did not say certainly, result that all parties add fuel to the flames in secret. The eastern front stretches across the thousand li (500 km) from Luliang-Youzhou, where will begin, in advance could not find out. We in the west side, the transient influence we, watch changes quietly to wait for the proper time to move then.” “说不准,各方暗中推波助澜的结果。东部战线从吕梁至幽州横跨千里,会从哪儿动手,事前根本摸不清。我们在西边,暂时影响不到我们,静观其变待时而动即可。” Under Xu Buling his hand does not have half soldier, except for seeing a play unable to make anything probably, immediately nods, lifts the hand to untie binding belt of Xiao Qi skirt. 许不令他手底下没半个兵,除了看戏好像也做不了什么,当下点了点头,抬手解开萧绮裙子的系带。 Xiao Qi said that matter, the look is slightly nervous, holds down the hand of Xu Buling: 萧绮说完正事儿,眼神又是微慌,按住许不令的手: „husband, you...... my month of matter, you looked for Xiang'er.” “相公,你……我来月事儿了,你去找湘儿吧。” Xu Buling slightly obviously helpless: „wife, you, when I won't record the day?” 许不令略显无奈:“娘子,你当我不会记日子？” „......” “……” In Xiao Qi heart anxious: „I was tired, ok......” 萧绮心中焦急:“我累了,算了吧……” „Does not need you to move, relaxes to you.” “又不用你动,给你放松一下。” Xu Buling has the smile, places on Xiao Qi the desk, the movement is gentle. 许不令带着微笑,把萧绮放在书桌上,动作温柔。 Xiao Qi is supporting the table single-handed, prevents with the hand diligently, face wants the red drop to bleed. But she is only the scholar young lady, where is the Xu Buling opponent, has not seen clearly, the skirt started. 萧绮单手撑着桌子,努力用手阻挡,脸儿似是要红的滴出血来。可她只是个书香小姐,哪里是许不令的对手,还没怎么看清,裙子就开了。 ?? ？？ Flying phoenix mantle...... 飞凤展翼…… The Xu Buling smile concentrates, lowers the head looks at solemn intellectuality Eldest Young Lady Xiao...... that anything...... 许不令笑容一凝,低头看着端庄知性的萧大小姐的……那什么…… Decorates in the warm marriage room to be silent, the needle falls may hear. 装点温馨的婚房中寂静下来,针落可闻。 Xiao Qi sees the matter to expose, the double pupil appears the look that wants to cry but have no tears, helpless blocking, trembling sound said: 萧绮见事情败露,双眸显出欲哭无泪的神色,无助遮挡,颤声道: „Hunan...... Xiang'er that dead girl......” “湘……湘儿那死丫头……” „Qiqi was cleverest...... hehe......” “绮绮最乖了……呵呵……” „You cannot smile!” “你不许笑！” „wife, the hand moves away, I have a look carefully......” “娘子,手拿开些,我仔细看看……” „Oh ~......” “唉~……”
