Waits for your family place maidservant end to come pot tea, departs slowly, the Gongsun Yang hitch visited gently, poured one cup of tea, white porcelain cup pale green tea, glistening lovable, carried the teacup actually to put down. 等府上丫鬟端来一壶茶水,姗姗离去,公孙杨轻轻栓上门,倒了一杯茶,白瓷杯淡绿茶,莹莹可爱,端起茶杯却又放下。 He who the foot contracts the internal poisoning caused by damp endures the stabbing pain to take off the shoes and socks, has passed the 40-year-old, does not have to stand. Gongsun Yang looks to out of the window, sighed, endured the stabbing pain to take off the boots sock, fell into recalled. 脚患湿毒的他忍着刺痛脱下鞋袜,已过不惑之年,却无而立。公孙杨望向窗外,叹息一声,忍着刺痛摘下靴袜,陷入追思。 Youth, under xu character royal flag oppression of the people place visited, infertile, by the potential of long-range raid Western Shu imperial city thunder, before his father , the sad news that died in battle comes, the grandfather writes the dying poem dead for one's country generously. It is said now the dynasty makes the loyal minister biography, Western Shu is next to Western Chu, the dying poem, is eight countries is more abundant. Although the Western Shu old emperor the political ability is average, the governing is incompetent, when such a unenlightened ruler small country, he of youngster was taken away by the loyal servant, after that Qingyun Street that the Western Shu Capital City officials huddle together, wailing that after performing is the official goes , the family member resounds, the youngster young girl who the fugitive mostly such as he same has not come of age, little has to take off the young man who the official's costume mixes in the refugee extremely, still who can imagine these to keep in the home to drink completely the dove liquor, to commit suicide by hanging, blade and sword wiped the man of neck possibly the day before on the royal government cursed that Emperor was muddle-headed? On possibly did one month receive the shame of flogging? 少年时代,徐字王旗麾下铁蹄所过之处,寸草不生,以雷霆之势奔袭西蜀皇城,他父亲阵前战死的噩耗传来,祖父做绝命诗慷慨殉国。据说如今王朝做忠臣传,西蜀仅次于西楚,绝命诗之多,更是八国最盛。西蜀旧帝虽说才略平平,治国无能,但正是这么一个昏君一个小国,少年的他被忠仆带走时,经过西蜀京城官员扎堆的那条青云街,尽是官员赴死后家人响起的哀嚎,逃亡者大多如他一样是尚未及冠的少年少女,极少有脱去官服混入流民的青壮男子,谁能想象那些留在家中饮尽鸠酒、悬梁自尽、刀剑抹脖的男子可能前一天还在朝廷上大骂皇帝昏聩？可能上一个月才受了廷杖之辱？ The Western Shu Gongsun, excelling at causes the continuous arrow. 西蜀公孙氏,擅使连珠箭。 Gongsun Yang puts out a hand to stroke on the table to make up the top chord the bull horn bow, has tears streaming down the face, the lip shivers. 公孙杨伸手抚摸桌上已经补上弦的牛角弓,泪流满面,嘴唇颤动。 The knock resounds, Gongsun Yang wipes the tears rapidly, steady mind, said the sound waits a bit, wears the shoes and socks, turns lamely is walking to open the door, sees is Young Master Xu, the latter self-ridicules saying: „Took the sword to pursue cutting by Miss Liu, has to escape to Gongsun senior here evades the disaster.” 敲门声响起,公孙杨迅速擦去泪水,稳了稳心神,说了声稍等,穿好鞋袜,瘸拐着走去开门,见到是徐公子,后者自嘲道:“被刘小姐拿剑追着砍,只好逃到公孙前辈这里避灾。” Gongsun Yang said with a smile in a soft voice: „Here has the pot good tea, the top is inferior to numerous Le Le happily.” 公孙杨轻声笑道:“恰好这里有壶好茶,独乐乐不如众乐乐。” After Xu Fengnian shuts the door , before arriving at the table sits down, immodestly to oneself but actually one cup, is raises head a matter, Gongsun Yang moved the bull horn bow, double refers to pressing firmly between the fingers the nature infertile soil greasy porcelain cup, slowly drinks the tea that the mouth passed coolly. When Xu Fengnian puts out a hand to pour tea, the movement stops, asks: „Has a matter not to know , said does not work as to say.” 徐凤年掩门后走到桌前坐下,不客气地给自己倒了一杯,也就是仰头一口的事情,公孙杨挪了挪牛角弓,双指捏住质地薄腻的瓷杯,慢慢喝了口凉透的茶水。徐凤年伸手倒茶时,动作一停,问道:“有件事情不知当讲不当讲。” The Gongsun Yang heart sinks, the complexion said as usual: „Young Master Xu but said that might as well.” 公孙杨心一沉,脸色如常说道:“徐公子但说无妨。” Xu Fengnian ends the tea but actually, a finger is stroking gently the slender cup edge, said lightly: „I return with the wild goose close the local common people to inquire, in the city only then a bow shop in old shop, old man surnamed Zhang is deserted, cannot pull away entrance two stone bow not to do your business, Zhang, I looks most likely is the false surname. This shop is very good to inquire, is easy to look, by the arm strength of Gongsun senior, should not be blocked in out of the door. Then I there learn Gongsun Senior from Miss Liu accidentally, was a double-hour had arrived at the city gate fully. With senior's sentiment to the Fish and Dragon Gang, should not help the numerous dry in the sun with three Fish and Dragon Gang Miss Liu intentionally in the wild goose returns closes this strategic place, I guessed, is on the senior money belt/bring weren't many, spending the most double-hour to bargain back and forth there? But thinks again, seems unlikely, by the rivers and lakes story of senior . Moreover the expert of continuous arrow, naturally knows the string silk the quotation. Therefore I asked oneself, was Gongsun Senior with that old man is the old knowledge, talked about old days lost the time, but I was very curious the am good relations, needs to let the Fish and Dragon Gang future master's on less than half double-hour in the city gate? Gongsun Senior, whether to inform 12?” 徐凤年倒完茶水,一根手指摩挲着纤细杯沿,平淡道:“我与雁回关当地百姓打听过,城里就只有一家老字号的弓铺子,姓张的老头性情冷僻,拉不开门口两石弓就不做你的生意,弓长张,我看十有八九是假姓。这铺子很好打听,也好找,以公孙前辈的臂力,应该不会被拦在门外。然后我无意中从刘小姐那里得知公孙前辈,是过足了一个时辰才到城门。以前辈对鱼龙帮的感情,应该不会故意将刘小姐与三名鱼龙帮帮众晾在雁回关这种险地,那我就猜测,是不是前辈身上银子带的不多,花了大半个时辰在那里讨价还价？但再一想,似乎不太可能,以前辈的江湖阅历,而且还是连珠箭的高手,自然知道弦丝的行情。于是我就问自己,是不是公孙前辈与那张老头是旧识,叙旧才耽误了时间,但我很好奇得是多好的关系,才需要让鱼龙帮的未来帮主在城门等上小半个时辰？公孙前辈,可否告知一二？” Gongsun Yang hesitant, the Xu Fengnian smile said: „Senior does not use anxiously, slowly thinks, I was drink tea to chat, could wait.” 公孙杨犹豫了一下,徐凤年微笑道:“前辈不用急,慢慢想,我就是喝茶闲聊来了,等得起。” Gongsun Yang puts down the teacup, asked slowly: „Was the weapon supervises the army Sirs and Young Master Xu gives Fish and Dragon Gang to get down a wrap/sets together?” 公孙杨放下茶杯,缓缓问道:“是兵器监军大人和徐公子一起给鱼龙帮下了一个套？” Xu Fengnian sneers saying: „Gongsun Yang, you are you, Fish and Dragon Gang is Fish and Dragon Gang. By this kind of time, do you also want to mislead the public? The Fish and Dragon Gang foundation is very clean, this point is without a doubt, Liu Nirong, even is Xiao Qiang is kept in the dark by you, this business is your one facilitates vigorously, now what I want to know was what information you delivers to give that Mr. Zhang, was the Beiliang military defense chart? The personal connection distribution of Beiliang army? I want to be both have at the same time, will make you stay in the bow shop was so long. What kind of pie did Beimang give you to draw? Will recover Western Shu in the future? Wants the Beiliang cavalry complete destruction? Gives the stage brace that you Western Shu Gongsun stage a comeback?” 徐凤年冷笑道:“公孙杨,你是你,鱼龙帮是鱼龙帮。到了这种时候,你还想混淆视听？鱼龙帮的根底很干净,这一点毋庸置疑,刘妮容,甚至是肖锵都被你蒙在鼓里,这趟买卖是你一手大力促成的,我现在想知道的是你送了什么情报给那个老张头,是北凉的军事防御图？还是北凉军的人脉分布？我想是两者兼有,才会让你在弓铺子呆了那么久。北莽给了你画了怎样的一张大饼？是日后光复西蜀？还是要北凉铁骑全部覆灭？或者给你西蜀公孙氏东山再起的背景支撑？” The Gongsun Yang complexion is complex, said: „Since speaking of this step, Young Master Xu still dares to attend a meeting alone, such as I think is not bad, Young Master Xu deeply concealed, at least has the second grade strength. Gongsun Yang only wants to know that on the shoulder this head, the wild goose returns to a pass/test bow shop in addition, how many gold can make Young Master Xu make, can fish big official headgear?” 公孙杨脸色复杂,道:“既然说到这一步,徐公子仍然敢单身赴会,想必如我想的不差,徐公子深藏不露,起码有二品实力。公孙杨只想知道肩上这颗头颅,加上雁回关一座弓铺子,能让徐公子挣多少黄金,能捞多大的官帽子？” Xu Fengnian shot a look at Gongsun Yang to build in table nearby both hands, said with a smile: „My Xiao Qiang can kill, kills your Gongsun Yang that falls third grade is not difficult. Moreover am your I distanced am far? You raised the bull horn bow and arrow pouch even, successfully pulled open distance that may supply continuous, but you really think that escaped to obtain Wei Residence? Wei will Feng make Beimang leave behind the city to know Beiliang general's family junior? When the time comes did not say I and Wei Feng how, Fish and Dragon Gang first died a tragic death completely. The loyal fidelity three characters, the filial piety did not say, the loyalty two characters, to your Gongsun Yang, the latter seem dispensable.” 徐凤年瞥了一眼公孙杨搭在桌边上的双手,笑道:“我连肖锵都杀得掉,杀你一个掉回三品的公孙杨并不难。而且你我相距才多远？你就算提起牛角弓和箭囊,成功拉开可供连珠的距离,但你真以为逃得出魏府？魏丰会让北莽留下城知道来了一个北凉将门子弟？到时候不说我与魏丰如何,鱼龙帮第一个全部惨死。忠孝义三字,孝不说,忠义两字,似乎对你公孙杨来说,后者可有可无。” The temperament temperate Gongsun Yang facial features are fierce, ten fingers such as the hook grasps in the table edge, trembled still had not actually made noise. The desktop trembles lightly, two cups of tea are having the ripples while convenient, the tea aroma even more greet the nostrils. 脾气温和的公孙杨面容狰狞起来,十指如钩抓在桌沿,颤却仍是没有出声。桌面轻颤,顺带着两杯茶水起涟漪,茶香愈发扑鼻。 Xu Fengnian stretches out double refers to holding down thin Taitian the white bright teacup, lowers the head to look in the cup the tea surface, does not have the sentiment saying: „You have thought that Gongsun Yang, several hundred are or dormant like you in the Beiliang losing people, does not hesitate the life, lives likely a dog, right, you rack brains to transport the information to Beimang continuously, wishes one could to dig the Beiliang foundation day and night continuous. But if really one day, the Beiliang 300,000 cavalries use under the tide offensive of strength of whole nation in Beimang, complete dying in battle destruction, entire Beiliang cloud of smoke float over, exciting. However when the time comes the north gate was opened, old Western Shu, old Southern Tang, old Eastern Yue, old Western Chu , will how many people die? 20 years ago you are a mourning watchdog, when these years the mourning watchdog also works as have a strong sense of righteousness, hates not to hesitate with the Beimang barbarian to flirt with the eyes for enemy of the nation, if the Beiliang cavalry really had that day of suffering a defeat and fleeing, the world Han people clothes all changed Mang Fu, was really is interesting. Gongsun Yang, loses the people regarding the perishing country of your crowd of engraved inscription Spring and Autumn principle of righteousness, admires below!” 徐凤年伸出双指按住薄胎甜白的剔透茶杯,低头望着杯中茶面,不带感情说道:“你有没有想过,一个公孙杨,或者说几百个像你这样蛰伏在北凉的遗民,不惜性命,活得像条狗,对,你们绞尽脑汁源源不断地给北莽运送情报,恨不得日夜不休挖断北凉的根基。但如果真的有一天,北凉三十万铁骑在北莽倾尽举国之力的潮水攻势下,全部战死覆灭,整个北凉都硝烟弥漫,大快人心。但是到时候北门被打开,旧西蜀,旧南唐,旧东越,旧西楚,又有多少人会死？二十年前你是一条丧家犬,这些年当丧家犬也当得大义凛然,为了国仇家恨不惜与北莽蛮子眉来眼去,如果北凉铁骑真有败亡的那一天,天下汉人衣冠皆换莽服,真是有意思极了。公孙杨,对于你们这群铭记春秋大义的亡国遗民,在下佩服至极！” Does not wait for Gongsun Yang to refute anything, as if felt senselessly Xu Fengnian counts on the fingers a ball, is filled with the tea the porcelain cup to revolve turning round, the tea does not sprinkle the least bit, looks at the teacup, Xu Fengnian is self-ridiculing saying: „Said that these boast empty talk, is very bored.” 不等公孙杨反驳什么,似乎觉得无趣了的徐凤年屈指一弹,盛满茶水的瓷杯滴溜溜旋转起来,茶水不洒半点,望着茶杯,徐凤年自嘲道:“说这些大话空话,挺无聊的。” Gongsun Yang is calm: „Young Master Xu, so long as can guarantee that does not draw the fiery pit Fish and Dragon Gang, Gongsun Yang is willing to be without a fight.” 公孙杨镇静道:“徐公子只要能够保证不把鱼龙帮拖进火坑,公孙杨愿意束手就擒。” Xu Fengnian cannot help laughing say: „Do you also want to negotiate the terms with me? Gongsun Senior Gongsun Senior, do not test me, if I attempt to Fish and Dragon Gang, 100 methods make it beyond redemption, your lost righteousness character, I help you pick then am. That loyal character, I also one and deliver you, how?” 徐凤年哑然失笑道:“你还想与我讲条件？公孙前辈啊公孙前辈,你就别试探我了,我若是对鱼龙帮有企图,有一百种法子让它万劫不复,你那个丢了的义字,我帮你捡起来便是。那个忠字,我也一并送你,如何？” Gongsun Yang initial muddy look in room, gradually pure brightness, the body caster, depends on the chairback layer on layer/heavily, seems a vision short shallow old farmer, does not know where burden/shoulder pole awfully should put to carry too many years, finally can stop to rest. Gongsun Yang said with a smile: „Knows without family or friends, is good. Somewhat does not do right by Old Gang Lord Liu, accommodates is a good miss, hopes that Young Master Xu treats well, returns to Lingzhou, depended on Young Master Xu to take the trouble. How as to explain to her, by Young Master Xu mental, not too difficult office.” 公孙杨初始在房中的浑浊眼神,逐渐清明,身体后倾,重重靠着椅背,好似一个眼光短浅的老农,一副不知道该搁在哪里的要命担子背了太多年,终于可以歇一口气了。公孙杨笑道:“才知道无亲无故,也有好处的。就是有些对不住刘老帮主,妮容是个好姑娘,希望徐公子好好对待,返回陵州,就靠徐公子费心了。至于如何跟她解释,想必以徐公子的心智,不会太难办。” Xu Fengnian shakes the head saying: „Does not need me to explain anything.” 徐凤年摇头道:“不需要我解释什么。” He said, the mistake arising out of chance circumstances must come Gongsun Yang to discuss Liu Nirong of matter listens to this dialogue, finally cannot repress, shoves open the door fiercely, tenacious such as she is also the pear flower belt/bring rain, is biting the lip stubbornly, shakes the head saying: „Uncle Gongsun, do not die!” 他才说完,阴差阳错要来公孙杨这边谈事的刘妮容听完这场对话,终于按耐不住,猛地推开房门,坚韧如她也是梨花带雨,死死咬着嘴唇,摇头道:“公孙叔叔,不要死！” She is incapable dejected, the weeping voice asked: „We return to Lingzhou together, is good?” 她颓然无力,哭腔问道:“我们一起回陵州,好不好？” Gongsun Yang rubs the eyes, does not look at Liu Nirong, said in a soft voice: „Pitifully, did not have the liquor on hand. Does Young Master Xu, drink cup of tea is not in the way?” 公孙杨揉了揉眼睛,不去看刘妮容,轻声道:“可惜了,手边没酒。徐公子,喝杯茶不碍事吧？” The hand extends, actually stops, he of person of dying will think aloud: „Drank to be happily good to below. Troubles Young Master Xu to bring to go out Liu Nirong.” 手才伸出去,却又停下,将死之人的他自言自语道:“还是到下面喝个痛快好了。麻烦徐公子把刘妮容带出去。” Xu Fengnian has a heart of stone said indifferently: „Gongsun Yang, I think you dead.” 徐凤年铁石心肠地冷漠道:“公孙杨,我看着你死。” Liu Nirong said rendingly: „surnamed Xu, are you a person?!” 刘妮容撕心裂肺道:“姓徐的,你还是人吗？！” Gongsun Yang is instead tranquiler, says with a smile: „Also good, this is dies cleanly. Accommodates, said one with the senior master, Gongsun Yang these year of shame to Fish and Dragon Gang, dies not undeserved.” 公孙杨反而更加平静,笑道:“也好,这样才算死得一干二净。妮容,与老帮主说一声,公孙杨这些年愧对鱼龙帮,死得并不冤枉。” Liu Ni allows to be unusual peaceful, does not look at Gongsun Yang, both eyes observes closely Xu Fengnian scarlet stubbornly. 刘妮容反常地安静下来,不去看公孙杨,双目赤红死死盯住徐凤年。 „World did not have the Western Shu Gongsun Lianzhu arrow again.” “世间再没有西蜀公孙连珠箭了。” Gongsun Yang closes the eye, relaxes, the front piece, the double fist pounded on the oneself temples. 公孙杨闭上眼睛,直起腰,正了正衣襟,双拳砸在自己太阳穴上。 Weak on chair. 瘫软在椅子上。 Liu Nirong covers to be quiet, the blood from referring to the seams seeps out. 刘妮容捂住嘴,鲜血从指缝间渗出。 Xu Fengnian turns the head saying: „Be not pretending non-involvement the relations with me anxiously, be not thinking does not want the cargo to leave leaves behind the city, if really this, Gongsun Yang died in vain. Hates my anything as for you, after can return to Beiliang, greatly plans. Offers to sell Makwan, I can make Xiao Qiang, is leaving behind the city, I can persecute to death Gongsun Yang, your Liu Nirong do not join in the fun now.” 徐凤年转头说道:“别急着与我撇清关系,也别想着不要货物就离开留下城,真要是这样,公孙杨就白死了。至于你恨我什么的,大可以回到北凉以后再谋划。出倒马关,我能做掉肖锵,在留下城,我能逼死公孙杨,你刘妮容现在就别凑热闹了。” Liu Nirong loosens the palm, the mouthful blood stain, ice-cold say/way: „Told me your real name.” 刘妮容松开手掌,满嘴血污,冰冷道:“告诉我你的真名。” Xu Fengnian thinks, points at Spring Thunder Blade saying: „If I can live am returning to Beiliang, you know that who I am.” 徐凤年想了想,指着春雷刀说道:“如果我能活着回到北凉,你就知道我是谁。” Liu Nirong said categorically: „Xiao Qiang simply has not betrayed Fish and Dragon Gang, is you kills!” 刘妮容斩钉截铁道:“肖锵根本没有背叛鱼龙帮,是你杀的！” Xu Fengnian looks at her partly sound, without speech, but nods. 徐凤年看着她半响,没有说话,但还是点了点头。 „Good! I arrived at Lingzhou to burn incense to respect Buddha, asking the Bodhisattva to bless you to live is returning to Beiliang!” “好！我到了陵州会烧香敬佛,求菩萨保佑你活着回到北凉！” Liu Nirong turns around decidedly. 刘妮容决然转身。 Xu Fengnian indifferently sits on the chair, stares is having a drink together two cups of full tea who two people have not drunk with enough time. 徐凤年无动于衷坐在椅子上,盯着对饮二人都没来得及喝的两杯满茶。 To tease one „beautiful both legs, suddenly went away”, may see that old person's corpse corners of the mouth flow the blood threads, has not said that but stretches the body forward to take the sleeve to help delete gently. 本想自顾自调笑一句“多美的一双腿,说没就没了”,可见到老人的尸体嘴角流淌出血丝,就没有说出口,只是探身拿袖子帮着轻轻擦去。
