In the dawn, harnesses the carriage to drive out of the Huangnan Prefecture county city, Hong Shuwen rides a horse to escort, the facial expression is lazy, the side is other two white horse righteousness, since. Xu Fengnian sits in the carriage, Huyan Guanyin has a drowsy look, rolls up in the corner, the body threw over Xu Fengnian Qiu Zi. Last night stopped the horse before Wang Mansion, she treated alone and forsaken in the compartment, raised several curtain screens, has not seen by him of stone lion blocking, only saw big groom who that pitied the word such as the gold/metal. Afterward returned to the courtyard side room/concubine to stay, she estimated that has not rested calmly and steadily, can rest on the contrary steadfastly in the compartment, said that she is a servant girl, but also really does not know that is who takes care of anyone. Huyan Guanyin opens the dim sleepy eyes, opens eyes to hide reluctantly, by a slit, sizes up this secretly overnight the man who turns cloud duplicate rain in the county city single-handedly, on coming the Huangnan Prefecture road, discovered that his double-hour will then lift the curtain screen every other, nearly the obsession, she does not know that he is looking at anything, in her eyes, the post road except for the scholartree willow tree of being exactly the same, does not have the new things again, but he as if always also looks does not tire, occasionally heard the hoofbeat to brush past, he with total concentration, will or be lost in thought that was difficult to be inadequate can also see a flower from the stranger. Come? 晨曦中,一驾马车驶出黄楠郡郡城,洪书文骑马护驾,神情慵懒,身边是其余两名白马义从。徐凤年坐在马车内,呼延观音睡眼惺忪,蜷缩在角落,身上披了件徐凤年的裘子。昨夜在王氏府邸前停马,她孤苦伶仃待在车厢内,掀了几次帘子,都没有看到被石狮子遮挡的他,只看到那名惜言如金的高大马夫。后来回到院子偏房住下,她估计也一宿没睡安稳,反倒是在车厢内还能睡踏实,说她是女婢,还真不知道是谁照顾谁。呼延观音睁开朦胧睡眼,勉强睁开眼皮子,透过一丝缝隙,偷偷打量这个一夜之间在郡城一手翻云一手覆雨的男子,在前来黄楠郡的路上,就发现他每隔一段时辰便会掀开帘子,近乎强迫症,她也不知道他到底在看什么,在她眼中,驿路除了如出一辙的槐柳,就再没有新鲜事物,可他似乎总也看不厌,偶尔听闻马蹄声擦肩而过,他就会更加聚精会神,或者说是怔怔出神,难不成还能从陌路人身上看出一朵花来? When will soon have the Huangnan Prefecture border, rides towering to catch up, is peregrine falcon group leader Song valley who that enters the scrapwood door institute, Xu Yanbing hears behind the car(riage) curtain screen instruction, implored one, stops the horse slowly. Song valley turned over/stood up dismount, kneels side the carriage, raising the head was the car(riage) curtain screen. Hong Shuwen transfers the horse's head to return to the body, then leisure spun side Song valley, occupies a commanding position the laughter saying: „Did the Song leader, how demand return money to come with me?” 在即将出黄楠郡边境时,一骑突兀赶来,是那进入柴扉院的游隼小头目宋谷,徐偃兵听到车帘子后头的吩咐,吁了一声,缓缓停下马。宋谷翻身下马,跪在马车侧面,抬头便是车帘子。洪书文调转马头返身,接下来慢悠悠在宋谷身边打转,居高临下嬉笑道:“宋头领,怎么跟我讨还银子来了?” This Song valley in the entire Beiliang peregrine falcon was the role of middle-grade position, and other writing Diezi did not say regardless soft-shelled turtle, martial Diezi was a person ready dead, rarely had the official rank to change in the peregrine falcon, because the martial arts incident was impossible to get it done in one action, the peregrine falcon spoke by the fist, on those who are able under the mediocre person, Song valley had the third grade strength, once was the common people in Beiliang chestnut Cangxian, chestnut Cangxian martial arts became common practice, seven big surnames, had absolute technique to rely on respectively, the Spear Immortal Wang Xiu wife then stemmed from the chestnut Cangxian Qi. Song valley the practicing martial art course might be called the marketplace legend, when was young met an outside marksmanship great master to contend in martial arts to chestnut/trembling Cangxian, that marksmanship Grandmaster posted a reward by the enemy large sum of money, one encircled kills launches, did not say that two batch received money the rivers and lakes killer who specially eliminated the risk, chestnut Cangxian had the great people of two surnames to be involved, killed 7788 rivals close to Vajra Boundary Grandmaster, after all one person alone cannot save the situation, before dying, escaped abandons the residents to chestnut Cangxian one, bumped into exactly goes to there to cook youngster Song valley who the dog meat ate, gave everything one has to teach its lifetime absolute technique, what a pity Song valley half have not learned, afterward was swayed by personal feelings one time, Song valley. The divulging style, was recognized by the enemy of kind teacher, unavoidablily to become the Beiliang peregrine falcon, about ten years fights, is becomes outstanding. This falcon branch family, first grade boundary several people, perhaps only then Chu Lushan and Xu Weixiong two people were clear, but second grade Little Grandmaster has 14 people, the falcon is high and low, first two years are more prosperous, reach 20 people much, were only the Lu Qiantang dying in battle reed marsh, Shu Xiu withdrew afterward, a person died in the border, a person missing, a person died, in Chen Zhibao left enters on the road in Shu coolly, a person retired after meritorious service, awarded mixed number General, established the school southeast Lingzhou, lived hand to mouth to eat by the transporting grain by water, was actually eats black black, dog eat dog small fish ate the sun-dried shelled shrimp, who lived finally, who on can hold to live in the transporting grain by water. The rice bowl of this fat class/flow oil. 这个宋谷在整个北凉游隼里算是中等地位的角色,抛开“甲鱼”等文谍子不说,武谍子即死士,在游隼中很少有官阶变动,因为武功一事不可能一蹴而就,游隼靠拳头说话,能者上庸者下,宋谷有三品的实力,曾经是北凉栗沧县的老百姓,栗沧县武学蔚然成风,有七大姓氏,各有绝学凭仗,枪仙王绣的妻子便出自栗沧县齐家。宋谷的习武历程堪称市井传奇,年少时遇上一名外地枪法巨匠到栗沧县比武,那名枪法宗师被仇家重金悬赏,一场围杀就此展开,不说两批专门收钱消灾的江湖杀手,就连栗沧县都有两个姓氏的大人物参与其中,接近金刚境宗师杀去七七八八的敌手,毕竟独木难支,死前逃至栗沧县一栋废弃民宅,恰好碰到去那里炖狗肉吃的少年宋谷,倾囊传授其毕生绝学,可惜宋谷一半都没有学到,后来一次意气用事,宋谷泄露招式,被恩师的仇家认出,不得已成为北凉游隼,将近十年打拼,才算出人头地。这次鹰隼分家,一品境界到底有几人,恐怕只有褚禄山徐渭熊两人清楚,但是二品小宗师有十四人,鹰隼上下众人皆知,前两年更为鼎盛,多达二十人,只是后来吕钱塘战死芦苇荡,舒羞退出,一人死在边境,一人失踪,一人死在陈芝豹出凉入蜀的路上,一人功成身退,封赐了一个杂号将军,在陵州东南创立门派,靠漕运混饭吃,其实就是黑吃黑,大鱼吃小鱼小鱼吃虾米,谁活到最后,谁就能捧住漕运这只肥的流油的饭碗。 Four did not have the bystander, Song Guchen the sound said of kneeling place: Stroked water society second-rate room/house Songgu, braved death to have the matter to report your highness.” 四下无外人,跪地的宋谷沉声道:“拂水社二等房宋谷,冒死有事禀告殿下。” Curtain screen not slightly sound. 帘子没有丝毫动静。 Song valley clenched teeth, „the scrapwood door institute incident, Song valley was contrary established plans, has the mistake in first, Song valley does not dare to deny. The reason, requesting earnestly your highness to listen to humble officer to explain. The scrapwood door institute spy child is stroking the water society second-rate room record in the locust nymph of book, had Southern Dynasty Aunt stops up state woman Queen of Flowers Wang Huanru, had Kunzhou person woman small procuress Qu Ruo, had paternal aunt stops up state several faction disciples to infiltrate the scrapwood door institute becomes protects the institute. humble officer thinks Hong Shuwen at that time, since can participate to stroke the water society confidential military affairs temporarily, wants to come the skill is not bad, aims at Qu Ruo by him, has confidence compared with third-class eagle gentleman Ren Shanyu......” 宋谷一咬牙,“柴扉院一事,宋谷有违既定谋划,有错在先,宋谷不敢否认。只是其中缘由,恳请殿下听卑职解释。柴扉院谍子在拂水社二等房记录在册的蝗蝻,有南朝姑塞州女子花魁王焕如,有昆州人氏女子小鸨瞿若,有姑塞州数位帮派弟子渗透柴扉院成为护院。卑职当时以为洪书文既然能够临时参与拂水社机要军务,想来本事不差,由他去针对瞿若,远比三等鹰士任山雨更有把握……” An indifferent voice shows the window curtains: Walks.” 一个冷漠嗓音透出窗帘:“走。” Song Guru was struck by lightning, both hands according to entering ground, although deliberately constrained the intonation, was still difficult to cover the miserable say/way: Your highness! This conduct, was not Song valley intends to idle!” 宋谷如遭雷击,双手按入地面,虽说刻意压抑声调,仍是难掩凄凉道:“殿下!此次行事,绝非宋谷有意懈怠!” Xu Yanbing where will pay attention to one is only the peregrine falcon that to stroke the water society second-rate room raises, drives to lead the way. 徐偃兵哪里会理睬一头仅是拂水社二等房豢养的游隼,驾车前行。 Hong Shuwen both hands draw the reins, sits the horseback high, after the body is languid supine, turned the head coldly shot a look at Song valley. 洪书文双手拉缰,高坐马背,身体懒洋洋后仰,转头冷冷瞥了眼宋谷。 Close to dusk, as the carriage approaches, the azure Heicheng wall of Lingzhou state city even more stands tall and erect, when across wall, immediately must celebrate the new year, hung full Bi the big red lantern unexpectedly, lightens early, actually is not only here, the state city faces the street tall branch to give to hang all over almost overnight, is unable to imagine, this is the exercise strategy causes the Li Gongde great writer unexpectedly, it is said the petty official janitors of various yamen complain, became the exercise strategy to cause in the unstated criticism, but also was flattery with being utterly isolated Lingzhou General, but in the city the common people went out, on the face were actually many several points of happy expression. Xu Fengnian made the carriage stop in noise bustling streets of intersection, selected a restaurant, said that was everyone has the dinner outside, the restaurant was fully occupied, the group waited till the neighboring two spatial tables in a building with great difficulty, Xu Fengnian makes Hong Shuwen go to the counter that side choice to inscribe the name the bamboo slip. Takes a seat, has the noisy sound to resound, Huyan Guanyin looks following the sound, is the monkey-like young man, she also no longer looks. Instead is Xu Fengnian has turned around to sit on the bench, smiles to look. 临近黄昏,随着马车临近,陵州州城的青黑城墙愈发高耸,穿过墙道时,马上要过年,竟是挂了满壁的大红灯笼,早早点亮,其实不光是此处,州城许多临街高枝几乎在一夜之间就给挂满,无法想象,这竟然是经略使李功德的大手笔,据说各座衙门的胥吏杂役都怨声载道,都在腹诽都当上经略使了,还跟一个四面楚歌的陵州将军溜须拍马,不过城内百姓出门,倒是脸上都多了几分喜气。徐凤年让马车在一处十字路口的喧嚣闹市停下,挑了座酒楼,说是大伙儿在外头吃顿晚饭,酒楼人满为患,一行人好不容易在一楼等到相邻两张空桌,徐凤年洪书文去柜台那边挑选刻有菜名的竹签。才落座,就有嘈杂声音响起,呼延观音循着声响望去,是个尖嘴猴腮的年轻男子,她也就不再多看。反而是徐凤年转过身坐在长凳上,笑眯眯看去。 A that thin monkey leg puts on the stool, picks the teeth while shouts to shout: I, if Beiliang Heir, has a big General such father, hey, practicing martial arts, has hear of moist pavilions so to be that big in any case an arsenal piles up with the secrets, some experts are innumerable, has realized the peerless marvelous ability, did not say the world top three, the relaxed world first ten always cannot run away. The leading troops words, take hundreds of thousands cavalries casually, we did not boast, said that what one breath killed off the northern barbarian, Beimang Southern Dynasty Aunt Theron waist that several states also not already infertile?” 那瘦猴儿一条腿搁在凳子上,一边剔牙一边嚷嚷道:“我要是北凉世子,有大将军这么一个爹,嘿,练武的话,反正有听潮阁这么大一个堆满秘笈的武库,又有高手无数,早就练成绝世神功了,不说天下前三甲,轻轻松松天下前十总是跑不掉的。带兵的话,随便带上十几万铁骑,咱也不吹牛,说什么一口气把北蛮子杀光,北莽南朝姑塞龙腰那几个州还不早就寸草不生了?” Immediately has others to join in the fun and pour cold water, real false, I may remember that in the cool headstrong border seems like 300,000-400,000 soldier barbarians, that is not the paper sticks, fortunately only then our Beiliang can block, moreover Beimang also has Tuoba Pusa this army god, the Southern Dynasty destruction was also not meaningful, so long as Tuoba Pusa did not have, but this fellow went to war fiercely, if the homicide gets angry, ignored the life also to want your head, what to do? But this in the world only loses to the Martial Emperor City king strange fellow, in 1 million armies is accepted after passing an examination the severed head, does not take something out of the pocket.” 马上就有旁人凑热闹和泼冷水,“真的假的,我可记得凉莽边境上好像有300,000-400,000的兵蛮子,那也不是纸糊的,亏得只有我们北凉才拦得住,而且北莽还有拓拔菩萨这个军神,南朝覆灭也没啥意义,只要拓拔菩萨没,可这家伙打仗猛,万一他杀红了眼,不顾性命也要你的脑袋,咋办?这位可是天底下只输给武帝城王老怪的家伙,百万大军中取上将首级,可不就是探囊取物。” Thin monkey hears Tuoba Pusa, obviously shrank the neck very much, that first lets off Beimang, leading the Beiliang cavalry to make a long-range raid toward the east side completely, on 2,000-3,000 li (0.5 km) road, in Gu sword Hall big General except for east line border, Yanchi Prince Zhao Bing is far very with Guangling Prince Zhao Yi both crack troops, could not attend , attended to old man being pressed by our big General in the past has not gasped for breath, this little while same was not an opponent, we killed the imperial palace directly, sat dragon chair, looked that who dares to speak the last words with father! What purple fine beard blue eyes Zhang Julu, the brain is intelligent, supporting is also a civil official who kills the chicken not to dare, he must dare to stand before the father, father little while gives him immediately a big mouth, the fan he cannot find the way.” 瘦猴儿一听到拓拔菩萨,很明显缩了缩脖子,“那就先放过北莽,带着全部北凉铁骑一口气朝东面奔袭,也就2,000-3,000里路,除了东线边境上的顾剑堂大将军,燕敕王赵炳广陵王赵毅的两支精兵都远得很,顾不上,顾老儿当年被咱们大将军压得喘不过气,这会儿一样不是对手,咱就直接杀进皇宫,坐上龙椅,看谁敢跟老子叫板!什么紫髯碧眼儿张巨鹿,脑子再聪明,撑死了也就是个杀鸡都不敢的文官,他要敢站在老子面前,老子这会儿就立马给他一个大嘴巴,扇得他找不着北。” Immediately some people said that a face got angry him not to struggle, mystifying say/way: Is our that Heir is also timid, without the skill, went to a Capital City in vain, anything has not done, your his mother good and evil bullies several Capital City Queen of Flowers is also good, is lord knows grandson goes to that side Capital City, the masters gave in vain many Beiliang blood and sweat money to the official employed in the capital white/in vain, I may hear, he goes to Jingcheng Road, light/only sends under custody the box of golden silver jewelry antique, has dozens, absolutely true! Young bastard who this only dares to be nasty at home, now became Lingzhou General, was definitely tidied up in Capital City miserably, must return to the oneself domain to abuse power ruthlessly.” 马上有人接话,一脸怒其不争,阴阳怪气道:“也就是咱们那世子胆子小,没本事,白白去了一趟京城,啥事都没干,你他娘好歹欺负几个京城花魁也行啊,天晓得这孙子是不是去京城那边,给京官老爷们白白送了多少北凉的血汗银子,我可听说了,他去京城路上,光是押送黄金白银珠宝古董的箱子,就有几十只,千真万确!这个只敢窝里横的小王八蛋,如今当上了陵州将军,肯定是在京城被收拾惨了,要回到自己地盘上狠狠作威作福。” Thin monkey lowers the sound slightly, said mysterious: You heard, our Your Highness Heir this returned to Beiliang dingily, but big General was really unable to continue watching, had/left Beiliang personally, this gave the son who this did not make every effort to succeed to put back into two daughters-in-law, it is said was Qingzhou woman, in the big General booth such first wife's eldest son, was really but actually the mildew of eight lifetime, small Prince worked as up and down a Beiliang Prince that is the huge good deed.” 瘦猴儿微微压低声音,神秘兮兮道:“你们听说了没,咱们世子殿下这趟本来是灰溜溜返回北凉的,可大将军实在看不下去了,才亲自出了一趟北凉,这才给这个不争气的儿子弄回了两个儿媳妇,据说都是青州女子,大将军摊上这么个嫡长子,真是倒了八辈子的霉,小王爷当上下一任北凉王那才是天大好事。” youngster of scholars appearance said with the strong Jizhou cavity smile: Stands closely related does not make a concubine's son one's heir, stands steadily not vertical young.” 一位士子模样的年轻人用浓重的蓟州腔微笑道:“立嫡不立庶,立长不立幼。” A neighboring table old person sighed: Right, the small Prince reincarnation threw the evening.” 邻桌一位老人叹气道:“对啊,小王爷投胎投晚了。” Because Xu Xiao only married Royal Consort, does not have in other wealthy and prominent family bold valves the division of commonly seen wife and concubine, before felt Your Highness Heir, although absurd not good, after all is the eldest son, second son Xu Longxiang is inborn gruff silly, about whose perpetual hereditary rank, who makes this Beiliang Prince, no objection. Small Prince leads the dragon to ride likely again, treads the broken border, is meritorious, breaches enemy lines, pushes to the front, no one refuses to accept, passes on a message Yan Wenluan Zhong Hongwu this group of meritorious service veterans to be full of praise to small Prince. 因为徐骁只娶了一名王妃,也就没有其它高门豪阀里司空见惯的嫡庶之分,以前都觉得世子殿下虽然荒唐无良,毕竟是长子,次子徐龙象又是天生憨傻,关于谁世袭罔替,谁来做这个北凉王,没有什么异议。只是小王爷率领龙象重骑,踏破边境,战功显赫,亲身陷阵,更是一马当先,无人不服,传言燕文鸾钟洪武这帮功勋老将都对小王爷赞不绝口。 An undercurrent surges. 一股暗流涌动。 This undercurrent without doubt already with Lingzhou disturbance afflux. 这股暗流无疑已经和陵州风波汇流。 Xu Yanbing has meal with the Xu Fengnian classmate naturally, eating is unambiguous, from him side Xu Fengnian, never has flattered the color. Clamored regarding the building, two ears did not hear. Plates of Central Plain food of Huyan Guanyin on to table does not like, when she hears the spoken language of related side man, raises up the ear to listen strongly clearly, then cautious bending the waist probe head, looked that Xu Fengnian is whether annoyed, but she only sees one always very tranquil smile. 徐偃兵自然而然跟徐凤年同桌吃饭,下筷子也不含糊,自他在徐凤年身边,从未有过谄媚颜色。对于楼内喧哗,两耳不闻。呼延观音对桌上的一盘盘中原菜肴并不喜好,当她听到有关身边男子的言语,就竖起耳朵竭力去听清楚,然后小心翼翼弯腰探头,去看徐凤年是否恼火,可她只看到一张始终很平静的笑脸。 Xu Fengnian has turned around, wolfs down, after eating to the full, looked at Huyan Guanyin, she nods, hints to eat enough. 徐凤年转过身,狼吞虎咽,吃饱了后,看了眼呼延观音,她点了点头,示意已经吃够了。 Has paid a bill, the group went out of the restaurant, Xu Fengnian looked at the falling mountain afterglow, kept silent to move toward the carriage. 付过账,一行人走出酒楼,徐凤年看了眼坠山的余晖,默不作声走向马车。 In the Xu Yanbing heart sighed. 徐偃兵心中叹息。 Only then before he can understand the body, youngster complex thoughts. 只有他才能理解身前年轻人的复杂心思。 If, Beiliang were really one day trod the broken northwest front door by the Beimang cavalry finally. Then in Beiliang person many several like the restaurant, as Xu Fengnian of cool weather of early autumn king, his guilt can few several points. 如果真有一天,北凉被最终还是北莽铁骑踏破西北大门。那么像酒楼内这样的北凉人多几个,作为新凉王的徐凤年,他的愧疚就可以少几分。
