Treads —— 踏踏踏—— The horse's hoof oversteps the major road between bamboo groves, peripheral does not have the lights, the reason that the heavy snow flutters about, is almost pitch-dark. 马蹄踏过竹林间的官道,周边没有灯火,大雪纷飞的缘故,几乎伸手不见五指。 The heroic deed tomb is burying more than 100,000 people, marketplace common people naturally feels the gloom to be excessive, thing that inside no is also worth stealing, person who therefore has the government authorities except for the ancestral temple that side looks, other place ghosts do not have. 英烈冢埋着十万余人,市井百姓自然觉得阴气过重,里面也没有什么值得偷的东西,因此除了祠堂那边有官家的人看着,其他地方连个鬼影都没有。 Because comes out to handle matters at night, horse side hangs had flare hoe and other things, Xu Buling lit a flare, slightly is running on the stone-paved road between bamboo sea going through. 因为夜晚出来办事,马侧挂的有火把锄头等物件,许不令点燃了一只火把,在竹海之间的石道上小跑着穿行。 Came roughly to use half double-hour, small arm continuously of waist tight, back warm serious, like by soft cotton. 过来约莫用了半个时辰,腰间的小胳膊一直勒的紧紧的,背后暖和的不得了,如同靠在软棉花上。 The Xu Buling itself/Ben thinks that Little Manzhi shy does not dare to speak, the preparation opened the mouth to remind one to the place quickly, behind the result transmits „shouted ~ ~ ~ shouted ~ ~ ~ ~” sound. 许不令本以为小满枝害羞不敢说话,快到地方了准备开口提醒一声,结果背后就传来了“呼~~~呼~~~~”的声音。 Fell asleep, the heart is bigger than him. 得,睡着了,心比他还大。 Xu Buling selected the eyebrow, pours the feeling now this situation, probably a aloof woman leads the Jianghu bludger, who occupies whose small advantage has really not said. 许不令挑了挑眉毛,倒感觉现在这情况,像是一个高冷女侠带着江湖混混,谁占谁便宜还真不好说。 The horses slightly ran to bypass the big ancestral temple outside heroic deed tomb, then went to the graveyard in bamboo sea corner quickly. 马匹小跑绕过了英烈冢外的大祠堂,很快便来到了竹海角落的一块墓园。 The graveyard and common grave are the same, grave neat arrangements are one of them, the front has the stone system fragrant stage of tombstone and sacrificial offering, finally one of the side is the Liu Hou'er grave, front is also suspending the sacrificial offering thing, scattered is covered majority in the paper money of ground by the snow surface. 墓园和寻常的坟地一样,一座座坟丘整齐排列在其中,前方有墓碑和祭祀的石制香台,最后方的一座是刘猴儿的坟,前面还摆着祭祀用品,散落在地上的纸钱被雪面盖住了大部分。 „Manzhi, do not rest.” “满枝,别睡了。” „Un...... ” “嗯……哦。” Zhu Manzhi woke blurry, detected after oneself fall asleep unexpectedly, then fierce sobers, the complexion was red, jumped down the horses. 祝满枝迷迷糊糊醒过来了,发觉自己竟然睡着后,便猛的清醒过来,脸色通红,跳下了马匹。 Xu Buling turns over/stands up dismount, took down the hoe from horse side. Zhu Manzhi took out the incense and candle to be valuable in the arrange/cloth pouch of horse plan, first before was went into the Liu Hou'er grave, worshipped. 许不令翻身下马,从马侧取下了锄头。祝满枝则在马策的布囊里取出了香火值钱,先是跑到刘猴儿的坟前祭拜了一番。 Xu Buling raises the hoe to seek in the graveyard, this place buried over a thousand dying in the line of duty Wolf Guards, according to the time arrangement of dying in the line of duty, looking is not troublesome. According to the dying year of tombstone sought in turn, soon then found the day skillful camp Lin Yang's tomb. 许不令提着锄头在墓园里寻找,此地埋了上千殉职的狼卫,按照殉职的时间排列,找起来并不麻烦。照着墓碑的卒年依次寻找下去,很快便找到了天巧营林阳的坟墓。 Because is ten years ago dies, the grave mound of this place got up the years, in Lin Yang's grave full was subtilis broken, the tombstone also moistened some muddy water stains, wants to come no one to worship very for a long time. 因为是十年前死的,此地的坟堆都上了年月,林阳的坟上满是枯草碎枝,墓碑也沾了些泥水污迹,想来很久没有人祭拜过了。 Xu Buling does not fear the ghosts and gods, but still had to the dead minimum respect, after Zhu Manzhi worships Liu Hou'er, took three to burn a joss stick the ignition from her hand, inserted before the grave mound, burnt a paper money, arrived above the grave mound. 许不令不惧鬼神,但对死者起码的尊敬尚有,等祝满枝祭拜完刘猴儿后,从她手里取了三炷香点燃,插在了坟头前,又烧了点纸钱,才来到了坟堆之上。 The heavy snow is deep and clear, the cold wind is intermittent. 大雪潇潇,阴风阵阵。 Zhu Manzhi is a little actually afraid, moreover digs others grave from ancient to present is not the good deed, she held the flare to stand by the grave mound hesitant under: „Young Master Xu, can this Wolf Guards senior the evening ask you to do accounts?” 祝满枝其实有点害怕,而且刨人家坟从古至今都不是啥好事,她举着火把站在坟堆旁犹豫了下:“许公子,这个狼卫前辈会不会晚上找你算账去？” Hoe that Xu Buling holds up, excessive say/way: „Forgot my nickname?” 许不令举起的锄头一顿,偏过头道:“忘记我的混号了？” Zhu Manzhi blinks: „Does eagle refer to the worthless person?” 祝满枝眨了眨眼睛:“鹰指散人？” „Is Young King of Hell.” “是小阎王。” Xu Buling somewhat cast aside her one eyes funnily, then starts to excavate to dig the grave. 许不令有些好笑的撇了她一眼,便开始掘土挖坟。 Zhu Manzhi always thought that is much more cautious, for fear that drills anything, only dares to look at Xu Buling, without the words looks for the words say/way: 祝满枝总觉得慎得慌,生怕钻出来个什么东西,只敢看着许不令,没话找话的道: „I listened to Storyteller saying that Young Master Xu at age 16, rushed to Northern Qi within the boundaries single-handedly, killed more than 100 individuals ?” “我听说书先生说,许公子16岁的时候,单枪匹马跑到北齐的境内,杀了一百多个人,是不是真的？” Xu Buling recalled slightly, nods: 许不令稍微回想了下,点了点头: „To go to the Northern Qi capital city to have a look, what a pity outside the passes was the desert, the roving bandit runs amuck, chases down for several days to become lost, went back.” “本想去北齐的都城看看,可惜关外就是沙漠,流寇横行,追杀了几天迷了路,就回去了。” „Isn't Western Liang beautiful?” “西凉漂亮不？” „Un...... is close to the western region and prairie, without Chang'an is so lively, surely does not have Jiangnan attractively......” “嗯……接近西域和草原,没长安这么繁华,肯定也没江南漂亮……” Zhu Manzhi secure is listening quietly, thinks, inquired: „In marketplaces wants to revolt, royal government to truncate the fence in some hearsay Vassal King ?” 祝满枝安静听着,想了想,又询问道:“市井间都在传闻有藩王想造反、朝廷想削藩,是不是真的啊？” This saying asked was too rash, a taboo did not understand. 这话就问的太莽撞了,一点避讳都不懂。 However Xu Buling regarding this and does not care, recalled earnestly, shaking the head chuckle: 不过许不令对此并不在意,认真回想了下,摇头轻笑: „I don't know either, Great Yue may Vassal King...... first emperor reign incessantly in the past, my Royal Father and I same enter Capital to study, now Your Majesty also the age of coming of age, studies in Imperial College article bent/tune Yuan at that time, the relations are excellent, but also swear an oath and become sworn brothers cuts the foxnut to become sworn brothers......” “我也不知道,大玥可不止一个藩王……当年先帝在位的时候,我父王和我一样入京求学,当今圣上也才及冠之龄,当时都在国子监的文曲苑读书,关系极好,还烧黄纸斩鸡头拜过把子……” Zhu Manzhi blinks: „Heard...... King Su in the past in capital very...... very without restraint of style?” 祝满枝眨了眨眼睛:“听说……肃王当年在京城很……很不拘一格？” Xu Buling is wielding the hoe chuckle two: „Far more than is without restraint of style, past Chang'an, had ‚Capital's Four Pests’, you guess that was that four harmfuls?” 许不令挥着锄头轻笑了两声:“何止是不拘一格,当年的长安,有‘京城四害’,你猜是那四害？” Zhu Manzhi cancelled ear bank hair, shakes the head embarrasedly: „Does not know.” 祝满枝勾了勾耳畔的发丝,讪讪摇头:“不知道。” „This Capital's Four Pests, first three are young lady and Dragon Roaring Pavilion of Yingchun Building the Jianghu court attendant in gambling operations and Hutai Street, one of the moistening its is big on the trouble, but the four harmfuls are my Royal Father, in the past called one to scold to be surprised the wind and cloud in capital that stirred everywhere was fishy, who bumped who had bad luck.” “这京城四害,前三个是迎春楼的姑娘、龙吟阁的赌档、虎台街的江湖郎,沾之其一就麻烦不小,而第四害便是我父王,当年在京城那叫一个叱诧风云,搅的到处都是乌烟瘴气,谁碰谁倒霉。” „Then?” “然后呢？” „Then...... my Royal Father succeeded to the throne on the safe and sound returning fiefdom, was fiercer than me.” “然后……我父王就安然无恙的回封地继承了王位,比我厉害多了。” Xu Buling some shaking the head of feeling ashamed of one's inferiority, continue saying: „The following matter has not listened to the elder to mention...... Your Majesty to inherit Imperial Throne, my Royal Father succeeds to the throne, each other has not then drunk again together...... ten years ago, East Sea Lu Family refuses to accept the royal government to control, for Your Majesty shocking the land under heaven fierce and ambitious, ordering King Su to lead troops to put down East Sea Lu Family.” 许不令有些自愧不如的摇了摇头,继续道:“后面的事儿就没听长辈说起过了……圣上继承大统,我父王继承王位,彼此便再也没一起喝过酒……直到十年前,东海陆家不服朝廷管束,圣上为了给震慑天下枭雄,下令肃王带兵平了东海陆家。” Zhu Manzhi nods: „This I know, Iron Eagle Hunting Deer involves, died many Jianghu people...... East Sea Lu Family, is outside Heir Apparent Xu the government?” 祝满枝点了点头:“这个我知道,铁鹰猎鹿牵扯出来的,死了好多江湖人……东海陆家,是许世子外公家吧？” „Yes.” “是啊。” The Xu Buling sound is light: „My Royal Father receives an order to lead troops to crusade against East Sea Lu Clan, rivers of blood that although kills, but kept the hand not to have the slaughter clan finally, but inherited the millenniums East Sea Lu Family to be unable to recover, my mother also......” 许不令声音平淡:“我父王领命带兵讨伐东海陆氏,虽然杀的血流成河,但最终留了手没屠族,不过传承千年的东海陆家还是就此一蹶不振,我娘也……” After all fused the memory, Xu Buling said here, in the heart instinct acid, could not be justified unexpectedly, was only left over one to sigh lightly. 毕竟融合了记忆,许不令说道这里,心中本能一酸,竟是说不下去了,只剩下一声轻叹。 In the memory, Royal Consort Su to Xu Buling really good, as good not to dare to recall the childhood as Xu Buling the time. 记忆之中,肃王妃对许不令是真的好,好到许不令不敢去回想幼年的时光。 Zhu Manzhi purses the lips, is a little moved, thinks: 祝满枝抿了抿嘴,也有点伤感,想了想: „That...... princess does Your Majesty kill?” “那……王妃岂不是圣上害死的？” Xu Buling shakes the head , to continue to unearth the tomb: „ This account is very difficult to reckon up. East Sea Lu Clan disobeys orders in first, the royal government does not put down is hard to settle land under heaven, my Royal Father is the imperial decree that receive, because he does not meet, puts down a rebellion was nearest simultaneous/uniform king. 许不令摇了摇头,继续挖掘着坟墓:“这笔账很难算清楚。东海陆氏抗命在先,朝廷不平难以安天下,我父王是自己接下的圣旨,因为他不接,去平叛的就是距离最近的齐王。 Although then my Royal Father led troops East Sea Lu Family, but guaranteed Lu Clan lineage/vein finally secretly, only killed the Lu Family head of household to report on accomplishments to the royal government...... is also my grandfather. 而后我父王虽然带兵去了东海陆家,但最后私自保下了陆氏一脉,只杀了陆家家主给朝廷交差……也就是我外公。 Monarch make the feudal official die, the feudal official has dead. My Royal Father strict, defied the sovereign life. ” 君让臣死,臣不得不死。我父王严格来说,违抗了皇命。” Zhu Manzhi is closely pressed the brow, considers as finished the half of the day, small sound said: „This account...... is not truly good to calculate, what royal government knot is the personal grudge, what King Su anti- will be the sovereign assigns/life...... will have Vassal King to revolt no wonder, royal government to truncate the rumor of fence. If the Jianghu person, I felt right that but actually King Su makes, very heavy friendship.” 祝满枝紧紧蹙着眉头,算了半天,才小声道:“这笔账……确实不好算,朝廷结的是私仇,肃王抗的是皇命……怪不得会有藩王想造反、朝廷想削藩的传言。如果是江湖人,我倒觉得肃王做的对,很重情义。” „Temple is not Jianghu, did not speak the friendship.” “庙堂不是江湖,不讲情义。” Xu Buling sighed: „Therefore, ‚Vassal King wanted to revolt’ ‚royal government wants to truncate fence’ the rumor, no one knows the genuine and fake, after all has the motive, very difficult not to suspect......” 许不令叹了口气:“所以了,‘藩王想要造反’‘朝廷想要削藩’的传言,没人知道真假,毕竟都有动机,很难不怀疑……” During the speeches, hoe under transmits a wood/blockhead the dull thumping sound. 说话之间,锄头下方传来一声木头的闷响。 Thump...... 咚……
