The large ship goes downstream to enter the Yellow River from the Fen River, taking advantage of river water and north wind, is about three days of time, then had arrived in inside and outside 800 Fenglingdu, from the Chang'an City only 200 li (0.5 km) away. 楼船自汾河顺流而下进入黄河,借着河水与北风,不过三天时间,便已经抵达了八百里外的风陵渡,距离长安城仅两百里之遥。 Three days of time is very short, but regarding the fast changing battlefield, enough cavalry advances 300 li (0.5 km) by the lightning offensive. The royal government central military is void, three days of time also escorts to Taiyuan the reinforcements without enough time, the Northern Qi army with irresistible force, has almost not encountered the nice hindrance, at present has arrived in Changshan and south to Handan west to Huozhou and winter, knocked out a giant gap in the eastern front. But the capital Taiyuan city was encircled by ten times of military, day and night under the storm is in imminent danger, judging from the present situation, the broken city is sooner or later matter. 三天时间很短,但对于瞬息万变的战场来说,足够骑兵以闪电攻势推进三百里。朝廷中部兵力空虚,三天时间还来不及将援军送往太原,北齐的军队一路势如破竹,几乎没遇到像样的阻碍,目前已经西临霍州、冬抵常山、南至邯郸,在东部战线上凿出了一个巨大的缺口。而首府太原城被十倍兵力合围,日夜强攻之下已经岌岌可危,就目前情况来看,破城是迟早的事儿。 The front pushes the too far grain and fodder unable to follow, Northern Qi the forced march has not advanced again, transfers builds the mountain pass city garrison, first eats up this springboard to Central Plain, waits for Northern Qi to stand firm, wants to return to be possible is not easy again. Can say this long several days, only good news, before only then Xu Buling, seizes the king, other is the sad news. 战线推太远粮草跟不上,北齐已经没有再强行军推进,转为修筑关隘城防,先把这块通往中原的跳板吃下,等北齐站稳脚跟,想要再打回来可就不容易了。可以说这漫长的几天,唯一的好消息,就只有许不令阵前擒王,其他的全是噩耗。 As the east ignites the flames of war, the style of Fenglingdu Town has changed, without a trace that the Jianghu guest vanishes, what replaces it is Guanzhong army that cannot look at the end, northern North Korea under leadership of military officer march. 随着东部燃起战火,风陵渡镇的风貌已经大变,江湖客消失的无影无踪,取而代之的是一眼望不到尽头的关中军,在将领的率领下朝北方进军。 The Yellow River ferry spot, on the ship's tower two flat roofs, Lu Hongluan and Xiao Xiang'er stand, looks into on the river bank the enormous and powerful army. 黄河渡口,船楼二层的露台上,陆红鸾和萧湘儿站在一起,眺望河岸上浩浩荡荡的军队。 Two people too do not understand to go to war to march, on ship ill-informed, Xiao Qi did not say the Taiyuan war with them, knows Xu Buling supernaturally brave safe and sound also unparalleled, sees the royal government huge reinforcements, has stabilized at heart. 两人都不太了解打仗行军,船上消息闭塞,萧绮也不和她们说太原战事,得知许不令安然无恙还神勇无双,又看到朝廷庞大的援军,心里已经安定下来了。 This under Jiangnan welcomed to kiss, the left accident were too many, Lu Hongluan only wants to return to Suzhou now earlier, even if were eaten the grape by Ling'er, good that also compared with felt alarmed and anxious here. 这次下江南迎个亲,出的岔子太多,陆红鸾现在只想早点回肃州,哪怕被令儿啃葡萄,也比在这里担惊受怕的好。 Lu Hongluan both hands fold in the waist, supple sound said: „Xiang'er, when does Ling'er come back? This several days......” 陆红鸾双手叠在腰间,柔声道:“湘儿,令儿什么时候回来呀？这都几天了……” Xiao Xiang'er is not clear, but the character must the atmosphere be slightly calmer, in a soft voice comfort: „Elder sister has sent to Luliang the news, after Xu Buling receives, will hurry back, taking the land route is possibly slower, but does not have Qi Army to hinder, will not have something go wrong.” 萧湘儿也不清楚,不过性格要稍微大气冷静些,轻声安慰:“姐姐已经把消息送去了吕梁,许不令收到后就会赶回来,走陆路可能慢些,不过没有齐军阻碍,不会出岔子。” Lu Hongluan purses the lips, are not many to the border pass situation understanding, then had not said. 陆红鸾抿了抿嘴,对边关局势了解不多,便也没有多说。 In two people below rooms, is paying attention to the Xu Buling whereabouts similarly. Place that the spacious room usually amuses, zither | Jean Tai, the picture case had transferred to near the wall, center on the room rug, displayed a very big map, above is labelling various geographical positions. 两人下方的房间内,同样在关注着许不令的行踪。宽大房间是平时游乐的地方,琴台、画案已经移到了墙边,屋子正中的地毯上,摆上了一张很大的舆图,上面标注着各种地理位置。 Ye Ying kneels to sit before the map, in the hand takes the wooden club, told earnestly: 夜莺跪坐在舆图前,手中拿着木棍,认真讲述: „If the news delivers quickly, Young Master should yesterday start from Luliang, now arrived here probably......” “如果消息送得快,公子应该昨天从吕梁出发,现在大概走到了这里……” Map surrounding, sat is a female. 舆图周围一圈儿,坐的都是女子。 The Zhu Manzhi double bracelet chest, deeply frowned, although looked that does not understand greatly, but nods from time to time gently, appearance that racks brains to supply ideas. 祝满枝双臂环胸,眉头紧锁,虽然看不大懂,但还是时而轻轻点头,一副绞尽脑汁出谋划策的模样。 The Ning Yuhe apprentice still outside, the expression most feared, listens to several, then supple sound said: „Or do I meet Ling'er and Qingye? Outside turmoil of war, having a helper is calmer and steadier......” 宁玉合徒弟还在外面,表情最是担忧,听个几句,便柔声道:“要不我去接令儿和清夜？外面兵荒马乱的,有个帮手安稳些……” Zhongli Jiujiu sits by Ning Yuhe, the small sparrow stops on the shoulder drowsy. Zhongli Jiujiu is the Xu Buling young wife, where can not worry about husband, originally leaves Taiyuan time, she wants to go to look, what a pity was blocked by Xiao Qi. At this time hears the Ning Yuhe words, she frowns saying: 钟离玖玖坐在宁玉合旁边,小麻雀停在肩膀上昏昏欲睡。钟离玖玖已经是许不令的小媳妇了,哪里能不操心相公,本来离开太原的时候,她就想出去找,可惜被萧绮拦下来了。此时听见宁玉合的话,她蹙眉道: „Are you useful? Except for the elder sister I, who can find the person in such big place? Must aid, should be I goes......” “你去有什么用？除了姐姐我,谁能在这么大地方找到人？要去接应,也该是我去……” The Zhongli Chuchu side sits by Manzhi body, by the present also to master a little complaint of stealing food. Especially heard that a Xu Buling and Xu Buling liangs person, ‚seizes the king, to capture alive the enemy in Taiyuan’, such mammoth heroic deed, envied Manzhi, but their two actually can only sit on the ship escapes, looks at Ning Qingye to work as the leading lady vertically and horizontally/able to move unhindered battlefield dry/does, naturally was not at heart balanced. 钟离楚楚侧坐着靠在满枝身上,到现在还对偷吃的师父有点怨念。特别是听说许不令个人,在太原‘单骑擒王、活捉敌将’,这么波澜壮阔的英雄事迹,都把满枝羡慕死了,可她们两个却只能坐在船上逃跑,干看着宁清夜当女主角纵横沙场,心里自然不平衡。 Manzhi is good, the martial arts non- tall person is not high, originally does not have the opportunity to accompany the Xu Buling vertically and horizontally/able to move unhindered battlefield. Zhongli Chuchu is different, her background is good, if Zhongli Jiujiu is willing to teach her in the past the real capability, how rather than teaches her becomes attractive, this time can definitely capture alive enemy Heir Apparent with Xu Buling, how will become with the vase same pestle here? 满枝还好,武艺不高个子也不高,本来就没机会陪着许不令纵横沙场。钟离楚楚则不一样,她本身底子不错,若是钟离玖玖当年肯教她真功夫,而不是教她怎么变漂亮,这次肯定能和许不令一起去活捉敌军世子,岂会变得和花瓶一样杵在这里？ Hears the words of master slightly discontentedly, Zhongli Chuchu snort/hum: 听见师父的话,钟离楚楚略显不满的哼了一声: „Originally I can the Young Master Xu help, martial arts not good shut out finally. If I can learn the master you half of skills, now is also insufficient to sit worries here......” “本来我能给许公子帮忙,结果武艺不好被嫌弃了。若是我能学到师父你一半的本事,现在也不至于坐在这里干着急……” A Chuchu / neat speech, in the Jiujiu heart had the shame weakly, the imposing manner naturally several points: 楚楚一说话,玖玖心中有愧,气势自然而然就弱了几分: „Oh ~ I teach you and that's the end, can definitely use next time, we first chat the current solution method......” “唉~我教你就是了,下次肯定能用上,咱们先聊当前的解决法子……” Song Yufu is not the Jianghu female, runs the matter that to this think for oneself and act accordingly helps, naturally has the opposing opinion, the opens the mouth gentle voice advises: 松玉芙不是江湖女子,对这种自作主张跑去帮忙的事儿,自然持反对意见,开口柔声劝阻: „Elder Sister Jiujiu, you may not go out secretly, we act unreasonably add to the chaos, Eldest Young Lady Xiao knows, must lose concentration......” “玖玖姐,你可千万别偷偷出去,咱们乱来是添乱,萧大小姐知道,又得分神了……” Because Zhongli Jiujiu has not been concealing the truth, Zhu Manzhi had known the matter that Older Zhong steals her man, becoming reconciled sisters Chuchu / neat shares a common hatred, light snort/hum said: 因为钟离玖玖没瞒着,祝满枝已经得知了大钟偷她男人的事儿,和好姐妹楚楚同仇敌忾,轻哼道: „ Relax, but Older Zhong now the Young Master Xu young wife, where dares to alarm Eldest Young Lady Xiao, yes Older Ning. „ “放心,大钟现在可是许公子的小媳妇,哪里敢惊动萧大小姐,是吧大宁。“ Ning Yuhe and Zhongli Jiujiu are sworn enemies, should follow the Manzhi words, laughs at Zhongli Jiujiu several. But two people lay together are playing the tail, where felt all right ‚100 steps to smile 50 steps’, but pursed the lips to smile, without speech. 宁玉合和钟离玖玖是死对头,本该顺着满枝的话,笑话钟离玖玖几句。可两人都一起趴着玩尾巴了,哪里好意思‘一百步笑五十步’,只是抿嘴笑了笑,没有说话。 With one group of Jianghu heroes female compared with ponders over blindly, many that side Xiao Qi must enforce. 与一群江湖侠女的瞎琢磨相比,萧绮那边明显要严肃的多。 In the studios in two buildings, Xiao Qi sits after the desk, wears the jet black long skirt, the look appears several points of weary condition, look actually as before limpid sharp, during brings one ‚completely grasps’ the high-rank imposing manner. 二楼的书房内,萧绮坐在书桌后,身着墨黑长裙,神色显出几分疲态,眼神却依旧清澈锐利,自带一股‘尽在掌握之中’的上位者气势。 By the tea table of study room, what sat is not a bystander, but nearly has not made an appearance for a long time King Su's Mansion gate god Old Xiao. 书房的茶几旁,坐的并非外人,而是已近好久没有露面过的肃王府门神老萧。 After the less than half year, the Old Xiao appearance has no change, the male servant skull cap as always, the walking stick places on hand, in the hand is carrying the teacup. 时隔小半年,老萧容貌没什么变化,一如既往的家丁小帽,拐杖放在手边,手里端着茶杯。 Before future Consort Heir Apparent, Old Xiao rare received never the proper appearance, sat respectfully, even also appeared several points of features suggesting extraordinariness and immortality. 在未来世子妃面前,老萧罕有的收去了老不正经的模样,正襟危坐,甚至还显出了几分仙风道骨。 Under Xu Buling Jiangnan goes to bride's home to escort her to the wedding, Old Xiao is busy at work for nearly two years in Chang'an City, antagonizes people on Jianghu too, has not then followed, wants to rest for several months, in book reservation rare book that the home careful thorough study collects. As for Xu Buling complies with helps him collect each region ‚wonderful book’ the matter, Old Xiao simply not to take seriously, because little prince definitely went out forgets. 许不令下江南迎亲,老萧在长安城忙活近两年,在江湖上又树敌太多,便没有跟着去,想休息几个月,在家仔细研习搜罗来的典藏孤本。至于许不令答应帮他搜罗各地‘奇书’的事儿,老萧根本没当真,因为小王爷肯定出门就忘了。 Forgot to forget, at the worst oneself washed is, but this little prince, forgot to collect the book, has not forgotten to direct he actually. 忘了就忘了吧,大不了自己淘便是,可自家这小王爷,忘记搜罗书,倒是没忘记使唤他这人。 Bubble of Old Xiao in the Suzhou teahouse, is an express delivers well suddenly, making him select the Wudang Mountain founder hall! 老萧在肃州茶馆里泡的好好的,忽然就是一封急信送过来,让他去点了武当山的祖师堂！ I drop a God! 我滴个老天爷！ The Wudang Mountain founder hall, this might as well makes him select the Song Clan ancestral temple, the Song Clan ancestral temple at least does not have so many martial arts excel smelly ox muzzles to squat. 武当山的祖师堂,这还不如让他去点宋氏祠堂,宋氏祠堂至少没那么多武艺高强的臭牛鼻子蹲着。 Came credibly, cannot work as has not seen. 可信都过来了,总不能当没看见。 Old Xiao can only poke the root walking stick, ran several thousand li (0.5 km) road to Wudang Mountain, abandoned does not know that the big strength, touched outside the Tienchu peak founder hall. 老萧只能杵着根拐杖,跑了几千里路到武当山,废了不知多大力气,摸到了天柱峰的祖师堂外。 Selects the founder hall to select the founder hall, a deteriorated house, has nothing at the worst. 点祖师堂就点祖师堂嘛,一栋破房子,也没什么大不了的。 But Old Xiao just lit the founder halls, oneself that little prince taught to butcher the person Wudang palm. 可老萧刚把人家祖师堂点燃,自家那小王爷就把人武当掌教宰了。 I drop a little darling! 我滴个乖乖！ This news comes, Old Xiao does not know that also some so many old codgers hide near Wudang Mountain immortal cultivation, even True Person Qingxu raised the sword to kill, that scene was called one ‚eight immortals crossing the sea and showing special prowess’. 要不是这消息传来,老萧都不知道还有那么多老不死躲在武当山附近修仙,连青虚真人都提着剑杀出来了,那场面叫一个‘八仙过海、各显神通’。 Old Xiao sits on the ship now, a little cannot believe, oneself actually lived to run. 老萧现在坐在船上,都有点不敢相信,自己竟然活着跑出来了。 However the matter got through finally, was tossed about by own little prince again, it is estimated that must dying outside. 不过事情总算是办完了,再被自己小王爷折腾,估计得死外面。 Old Xiao puts down the teacup, the leaning head looks to Xiao Qi: 老萧放下茶杯,偏头看向萧绮: „Can Eldest Young Lady Xiao, have the instruction? little prince I do not wait, but must go back to stare at the matter of wedding banquet, now the war is urgent, King Su feared that does not have the mental effort to buy these.” “萧大小姐,可还有吩咐？小王爷我就不等了,还得回去盯着婚宴的事儿,如今战事紧急,肃王怕也没心力置办这些。” Xiao Qi knows Old Xiao is the King Su fathers'and sons' gate god, the spoken language is quite intimate, the smile said: 萧绮知晓老萧是肃王父子的门神,言语颇为亲近,微笑道: „I had passed on the correspondence to Xu Buling, making him give to the royal government Jiang Kai, relaxes the relations of Chang'an and Western Liang, Old General Xiao this matter informs King Su then.” “我已经传了书信给许不令,让他把姜凯献给朝廷,缓和长安与西凉的关系,萧老将此事告知肃王即可。” Old Xiao is stroking gently the teacup, shakes the head: „This relations feared that is not good to improve, with the little prince temperament, having the opportunity can a blade chop now Your Majesty, certainly not the second blade. Your Majesty is also now similar.” 老萧摩挲着茶杯,摇了摇头:“这关系怕是不好改善,以小王爷的脾气,有机会能一刀剁了当今圣上,绝不会多出第二刀。当今圣上也差不多。” Xiao Qi naturally knew that contradiction between Emperor and King Su deep, regarding this is only says with a smile lightly: 萧绮自然晓得皇帝和肃王之间的矛盾有多深,对此只是轻笑道: „Situation is fast changing, among princes, so long as the benefit is congenial, no contradiction cannot reduce and solve. Jiangnan and north side also the turmoil, Qi Army occupied the central isolation thing, Western Liaoning Protectorate said troops and horses to Guanzhong, if King Chu, King Wu and other set armies entered Capital at this time ‚serve the King diligently’, the royal government did not dare near the accent the army to return to base Guanzhong, can only take advantage only had King Su. If relates too stiffly, when the time comes did not talk about.” “形势瞬息万变,帝王将相之间,只要利益相投,没有什么矛盾是不能化解的。江南和北边同时动乱,齐军占据中部隔绝东西,辽西都护府的兵马到不了关中道,若是此时楚王、吴王等集合军队入京‘勤王’,朝廷不敢调边军回防关中,唯一能依仗的只有肃王。如果关系太僵,到时候就不好谈了。” „Young lady's meaning, is to make the prince lead troops into Guanzhong, puts down various kings armed rebellion? There is no advantage to Western Liang probably......” “大小姐的意思,是让王爷带兵入关中,平诸王叛乱？这对西凉好像没啥好处……” The Xiao Qi look is tranquil: „Naturally cannot see the advantage short-term. However so long as can enter Guanzhong saying that going back, isn't I decides?” 萧绮神色平静:“短期自然看不出好处。不过只要能进关中道,回不回去,还不是我说了算？” „......” “……” Old Xiao pondered over, slowly nod: „My this old bones, does not understand these. The words belt/bring arrives then, does King Su comply, I also said that does not permit......” 老萧琢磨了下,缓缓点头:“我这把老骨头,也弄不懂这些。话带到即可,肃王答不答应,我也说不准……” „Ultimately, King Su has not resulted in elects. After these I arrive in Suzhou, can speak in detail with King Su.” “大势所趋,肃王没得选。这些我到肃州后,会和肃王详谈。” „Hehe......” “呵呵……” Old Xiao nods, no longer said, set out to go out of the study room...... 老萧点了点头,不再多说,起身走出了书房……
