( On a chapter has more than 5000 characters, therefore this chapter slightly late.) (上一章有五千多字,所以这一章略晚了。) A man and a woman live in peace with each other on the whole, across the east wind county, close to the succeeding in the imperial civil service examination system county, Xu Fengnian two rides with Pei Nanwei parallel in a profound plank road, again toward travelling to the East hundred li (0.5 km) distance, is honored as the bunch to ban the thing natural defenses Tong Menguan, having Tong Menguan is solid , then Beiliang solid view, is most important mountain pass that in the succeeding in the imperial civil service examination system county deserves, has guard with large army, the hand grasps crack troops 6000 tong gate Colonel Xin Yinma, without doubt is the trusted aide military officer who Beiliang Prince regards as important extremely, this Xu Fengnian transfers the Lingzhou each region soldiers and horses to leave the station, Tong Menguan is the soldiers has not gone, demonstrates Tong Menguan sufficiently in the Lingzhou aloof position. Xu Fengnian has not made Huang Xiaokuai 600 ride to follow, but detours to go to the Tong Menguan recuperation in advance, only brings Pei Nanwei to gallop with Xu Yanbing, in this only on the secret plank road that permits the army horse to step on, and will plant the juniors to come to here to compete the horsepower of good colt by some dealings government authorities palace guards, now a paper makes, does not want before Lingzhou General leaves hits the lance to come up to seek sharp unluckily, Pei Nanwei must go down the carriage to pass the tone, comes the scholarly family due to her, had heard previous dynasty that poet Son of Heaven hung by a tong gate ancient, won in those who lived in ages frontier fortress poem at one fell swoop, this had the origin of succeeding in the imperial civil service examination system county., On the front mountain wall also leaves leeway the knight-errant swordsman cliff to carve it is said that some of her mind yearned. 一男一女大体上相安无事,穿过东风郡,临近折桂郡,徐凤年跟裴南苇两骑并行于一条幽深栈道,再往东行百里路程,就是被誉为束禁东西的天险潼门关,有潼门关固则北凉固的说法,是折桂郡境内当之无愧的首要关隘,有重兵把守,手握精兵六千的潼门校尉辛饮马,无疑是北凉王极为看重的心腹将领,这次徐凤年调动陵州各地兵马离开驻地,潼门关则是一兵一卒都没有去动,足以显示潼门关在陵州的超然地位。徐凤年没有让黄小快的六百骑跟随,而是先行绕道前往潼门关休整,只带着裴南苇跟徐偃兵驰骋在这条只准军马踩踏的秘密栈道上,以往还有些官府衙内和将种子弟来这里比拼良驹的马力,如今一纸令下,都不想在陵州将军离开之前撞到矛尖上去自寻晦气,裴南苇之所以要走下马车透口气,缘于她出身书香门第,听说过前朝那位诗家天子凭借一首潼门吊古,在历朝历代边塞诗中一举夺魁,这才有了折桂郡的由来,前方山壁上据说还留有剑侠崖刻,她就有些心神向往。 Xu Fengnian both hands do not pull the reins, closes eyes with rapt attention, whatever before the warhorse takes to one's heels rushes, the Pei Nanwei horse-riding is average, but wins in did not fear that the falling horse was injured, picked the valance hat, threw over the sable big fur garment, rode a god handsome dark horse, her this scene in snow gleams white, does not know that should say was the resembles only light and lively butterfly, peony that swayed along with the wind and snow like one. Waited for Pei Nanwei to stop horse Yangtou to see the fuzzy carved stone on stone cliff, as if also a matter, somewhat arrived in high spirits the insipidness that returned disappointed, when particularly Xu Fengnian mentioned this plank road with her, light/only was the previous dynasty more than 200 years of country blesses, explained more than 20,000 corpses near here from all sides, this made Pei Nanwei absolutely terrified, did not have the least bit leisure to be refined again. 徐凤年双手不扯缰绳,闭目凝神,任由战马撒腿前奔,裴南苇马术平平,不过胜在不怕坠马受伤,摘了帷帽,披了件紫貂大裘,骑乘一匹神俊黑马,她这一幕在白雪皑皑中,不知该说是像只轻灵蝴蝶,还是像一朵随风雪飘摇的牡丹。等裴南苇停马仰头见过了石崖上的模糊石刻,似乎也就那么一回事,有些乘兴而来败兴而归的索然无味,尤其是当徐凤年跟她提及这条栈道,光是前朝两百多年国祚里,就在这儿附近前前后后交待了两万多具尸体,这让裴南苇毛骨悚然,再无半点闲情雅致。 Weather near dusk, the snow in big flakes that the top of the head is not then willing to stand still, the plank road deathly stillness Yin depth, she somewhat fears obviously, must not have the words to look for the words, slows down horse Su, asked the Beiliang spy child hand eye direct access to the highest authorities with man, why actually cannot inquire into that to the details of master and servant. Under Xu Fengnian puts out a hand, saves snowflake of full palm, grasps an exquisite perfectly round snowball, said careless: „Good spy child, must rare valuable compared with these brave Colonel Commandant, must guarantee that can boil year after year loneliness, has shouldered schemes and tricks, the key is the need is loyal and devoted throughout, but must be able to assume sole responsibility for an important task, screens various news, finally takes the life to transmit, therefore without 56 years of polish, cannot come out to feel relieved that the qualified spy child of assign, some old spy children, said either vanishes vanishes, either betrayed the enemy camp directly difficultly, the intelligence report on difficult to work in the spy child is not easy, must the toughness of investigate person, not be. Everyone is glad to do this line. Before on Chu Lushan, spy child person ready dead outside Beiliang, Liyang thirty states, entire more than 20 years, cultivated more than 400 people, let alone half need to seek something big with foresight, shared to more than 30 state more than 200 counties, how many can each county have? Moreover for last year these scholars went to smoothly coolly, lost hid many years of precious spy children. Also, our Beiliang thought of every means to eradicate the spy children of Liyang Beimang both sides on the 1st, Zhao Gou and spider web does not have to rest, the enemy and ourselves three parties, must every year dying many people, is Chu Lushan wields the intelligence report fortunately, changes into anyone, Beiliang has become the one who has eyes yet fails to see. Only had that saying that very scary 300,000 cavalries, could not win the major battle, that Southern Dynasty war, the Beiliang cavalry advanced, a large part of military exploits, must above the Beiliang spy child. My previous time went to Huangnan Prefecture to consider only the murder to give vent to indignation, butchered several two-sided spy children, afterward my elder sister scolded me is the if you are not running the household , you do not know how much rice and firewood cost black sheep of the family, was not truly undeserved.” 天色近黄昏,头顶便是不愿停歇的鹅毛大雪,栈道死寂阴深,她显然有些惧怕,只得没话找话,放缓马速,跟身边男子问起了北凉谍子手眼通天,却为何探究不出那对主仆的底细。徐凤年伸出手,积攒下满满一手掌的雪花,握出一颗小巧的滚圆雪球,漫不经心说道:“好的谍子,比那些骁勇善战的校尉都尉还要稀罕值钱,既要保证能熬住年复一年的寂寞,扛过一次次阴谋诡计,关键是需要始终忠心耿耿,还要能够独当一面,筛选出各种消息,最后再拿性命去传递回来,所以没有五六年时间打磨,出不来一个可以放心任用的合格谍子,一些个老谍子,要么说消失就消失,要么直接背叛了敌方阵营,谍报难就难在谍子做事已经不易,更要考究一个人的韧性,不是谁都乐意干这行的。以前在褚禄山手上,在北凉以外的谍子死士,离阳三十几个州,整整二十多年,也不过培植出四百余人,何况其中一半都需要放长线钓大鱼,分摊到三十余州两百多个郡,每个郡能有几个？而且去年为了那些士子顺利赴凉,又损失了许多潜藏多年的珍贵谍子。再说了,咱们北凉费尽心思铲除离阳北莽双方的谍子,赵勾和蛛网也没一日歇着,敌我三方,每年都要死很多人的,也亏得是褚禄山执掌谍报,换成任何一个人,北凉早就成了睁眼瞎。光有那说出去很吓人的三十万铁骑,打不赢大仗的,那场南朝战事,北凉铁骑一路突进,很大一部分军功,都得记在北凉谍子头上。我上次去黄楠郡只顾着杀人泄恨,宰了几个双面谍子,事后我姐骂我是不当家不知柴米油盐贵的败家子,确实不冤枉。” Xu Fengnian throws that snowball to the distant place gently, said in a soft voice: „This world, was too big, must discover a person, is not easy.” 徐凤年轻轻向远方丢出那颗雪球,轻声说道:“这个天下,实在太大了,要找出一个人,不容易。” Pei Nanwei shot a look at him, cannot see clearly the expression of Your Highness Heir, only feels vaguely some uncommon desolate. 裴南苇瞥了一眼他,看不清世子殿下的表情,只觉得依稀有些不常见的落寞。 The wind and snow howl, to that Tong Menguan also dozens li (0.5 km) distances, puts in usually does not reveal path Chang, this little while plank road snow is thick, the horse's hoof gets sucked, even if Pei Nanwei throws over the warm marten coat, still starts to feel to endure hardships heavily, moreover her horse-riding is really inferior in expert opinion, Xu Fengnian watched a weather, has the sign of getting bigger and bigger, three ride is against the wind the line, but Pei Nanwei is determined the wind and snow to travel by night single-handedly, Xu Fengnian watches critically, when her mount horse's hoof slips suddenly, both hands have frozen coldly numb, is incapable of gripping the tight reins, crashes on the plank road, hit one to roll, was good because of the snow soft., Is far from is injured. The Xu Fengnian Le Mas returns to the body, extends a hand, she was actually unyielding, after standing has turned around, puts out a hand into the marten coat neckband, covered hot both hands taking advantage of the body temperature, clenched teeth to start , to continue the vertical horse vanguard. Xu Fengnian is also disinclined to speak the ridicule, before progressing to accelerate rushes, keeps off in her rides the front blocking biting blast, when they finally saw that the Tong Menguan palatial top and moves fast the lights, held on to the last that with a resentment the Pei Nanwei faint falls finally, Xu Fengnian then hugs her to start, the fast horse enters the city. 风雪呼啸,离那潼门关还有几十里路程,搁在平时不显路长,这会儿栈道积雪厚实,马蹄深陷,裴南苇即便披有温暖貂裘,也开始觉得遭罪不轻,而且她的马术在行家看来实在蹩脚,徐凤年看了眼天色,有越下越大的迹象,三骑又是逆风而行,可裴南苇执意要独力风雪夜行,徐凤年冷眼旁观,当她的坐骑冷不丁一个马蹄打滑,双手已经冻冷麻木,无力攥紧缰绳,就那么坠落在栈道上,打了一个滚,好在积雪绵软,谈不上受伤。徐凤年勒马返身,伸出一只手,她倒是硬气,站起来后转过身,伸手入了貂裘领口,借着体温捂热双手,咬牙上马,继续纵马前行。徐凤年也懒得出言讥讽,策马加速前奔,挡在她那一骑前头遮挡刺骨寒风,等他们终于见到潼门关的巍峨墙头和飘忽灯火,凭着一口怨气坚持到底的裴南苇终于昏厥落马,徐凤年这才抱她上马,快马入城。 tong gate Colonel Wei finalize accompanies the emperor to show the way personally, ushered in that Your Highness Heir simple official mansion that does not have the least bit extravagant arrogance, when the Pei Nanwei headache wants the crack to wake up, discovered that oneself lies down in a being as warm as in spring room, except for had taken off by Qiu Zi of melted snow percolation, the clothing is complete, probably hit an revolutions in the Gate of Death Jing'an Royal Consort then comes back to life slightly several points, turns the head to see that in the room built a basin stove, the man who that turns away from the bed is boiling the liquor, the wine fills the air leisurely, hungry Pei Nanwei raised the cultivating vital energy strength, wears brand-new warm boots, sits in his body side, puts out a hand to warm up., Xu Fengnian put out a hand to refer to putting the red wood carving flower gift box on stool, hinting her oneself was having ample food and clothing, but helped her pour one glass of boiling hot alcoholic rice wines very much sincerely, Pei Nanwei removed the gift box cover, was not fastidious about what demeanor, wolfed down earnestly, has drunk that glass of liquor, wanted two cups, quick had the rich feeling of weariness to exude, perhaps was does not feel relieved him, endured to focus to hide to fight, did not go to the bed to sleep. Actually two people are well aware, they are hitting a gambling, whom is betting to take the lead to hand over the arms, before then, is well water not interfering with river water, does not need her to go to adopt the stance of what pure and chaste woman of integrity intentionally. Pei Nanwei haunches the eye to hide, the squint looks to him, his face was shone upon beamingly and buoyant by the charcoal fire, he took off the coat, reveals that even Pei Nanwei this layman to look at priceless quiet green soft armor, she bites the lip, lets the oneself sober several points, the voice asked hoarsely: „Why do you want to practice the blade?” 潼门校尉韦杀青亲自随驾领路,把世子殿下领进了那栋没有半点豪奢气焰的朴实官邸,当裴南苇头疼欲裂醒来,发现自己躺在一间温暖如春的屋子,除了被雪水浸透的裘子已经被脱掉,衣衫完好,像是在鬼门关打了一个转儿的靖安王妃这才略微还魂几分,转头看到屋子里架起了一盆火炉,那个背对床榻的男子正在煮酒,酒香悠悠弥漫,饥肠辘辘的裴南苇养了养气力,穿上一双崭新暖和的靴子,坐在他身侧,伸手取暖,徐凤年伸手指了指摆在凳子上的红木雕花食盒,示意她自己丰衣足食,不过很厚道地帮她倒了一杯滚烫醇米酒,裴南苇揭开食盒盖子,也不讲究什么风仪,埋头狼吞虎咽,喝过了那杯酒,又要了两杯,很快就有浓郁倦意泛起,兴许是放心不过他,忍着眼皮子打架,也不去床上睡觉。其实两人心知肚明,他们在打一个赌,在赌谁率先缴械投降,在这之前,也就是井水不犯河水,都不用她去故意摆出什么贞洁烈女的姿态。裴南苇撑起眼皮子,斜眼望向他,他的脸庞被炭火映照得神采奕奕,他脱去了外衣,露出那件连裴南苇这种外行都瞧出价值连城的幽绿色软甲,她咬了咬嘴唇,让自己清醒几分,嗓音沙哑问道:“你为何要练刀？” Xu Fengnian slightly absent-minded, immediately shakes the head, the tone said lightly: „Told you are fun, said that I once wholeheartedly want to be the heroes who lends a hand in emergency indignant, you definitely do not believe. If maintains life, you must say that I live in the luck do not know the luck, does intentionally to moan without being ill.” 徐凤年略微失神,随即摇了摇头,语气平淡说道:“跟你说是好玩,说我曾经一心想做路见不平拔刀相助的英雄好汉,你肯定不信。如果说是保命,你又要说我生在福中不知福,故作无病呻吟。” Pei Nanwei oneself one glass of liquor, had not actually looked like previously one to drink but actually like that heroically completely, but pastes with the warm wine glass on the cheeks, said with a smile: „You practice the original intention of blade, I believe the former.” 裴南苇自己倒了一杯酒,却没有像先前那般一口豪迈饮尽,而是拿温热酒杯贴在脸颊上,笑道:“你练刀的初衷,我更相信前者。” She had the interest of chatting with great difficulty, Xu Fengnian on the contrary is attitude desolate Szo, said indifferently: „Tomorrow morning must hurry along, you rest your. Relax, I sat enough to go out.” 她好不容易有了闲聊的兴致,徐凤年反倒是意态萧索,淡然道:“明早还要赶路,你睡你的。放心,我坐够了就会出门。” Pei Nanwei wrinkled to have extremely flatters the attractive brow of intent naturally, went to the bed to lie down, both hands pressed firmly between the fingers by the corner/horn, for a long time has not heard the sound, is sideways, looks that back to the room. 裴南苇皱了皱极有天然媚意的好看眉头,还是去床榻躺下,双手捏住被角,许久没有听到动静,侧过身,望向屋内那个背影。 In a while, he took the pincers to provoke some tepetates in the charcoal fire, making in the furnace the charcoal burn, then sets out to leave the room slowly gently. 没过多久,他就拿铁钳拨弄了些灰盖在炭火上,让炉内木炭烧得慢些,然后起身轻轻离开屋子。 Xu Fengnian arrives at the Tong Menguan top, Xu Yanbing and Wei finalize stands in the distant place distantly, does not disturb very much tactful. 徐凤年来到潼门关墙头,徐偃兵和韦杀青都遥遥站在远处,很识趣地不去打搅。 - -- The heavy snow got down continuously for night, dawn, the mountain old age. 大雪连绵下了一夜,晨曦时分,青山白头。 Rode a retinue to open access to go into the succeeding in the imperial civil service examination system county, since previously entered the Beiliang border initially, shocked several teams of ants government authorities soldiers and horses, later they met no resistance, retinue who that had the Vajra Boundary strength from not being able to bear ask: „Young master, this Beiliang did Heir frighten to hide difficultly inadequately? Is thinking overhangs truce flag, really can is well with everything?” 一骑一仆从一路畅通无阻闯入了折桂郡,自从先前初入北凉边境,震慑住了几队蝼蚁般的官府兵马,之后他们就如入无人之境,那名拥有金刚境实力的扈从忍不住问道:“公子,这北凉世子难不成吓得躲起来了？想着高挂免战牌,就真能万事大吉？” Is appreciating along the road the snowscape with the outstanding young master who the folding fan whips the palm gently, ridiculed: „Music movement the music movement, you with the buttocks think really the goods of matter, in the past Han Diaosi did not kill you, disliked dirty the hand?” 拿折扇轻轻拍打手心的俊逸公子欣赏着沿路雪景,讥讽道:“乐章啊乐章,你真是用屁股想事的货,当年韩貂寺不杀你,是不是嫌脏了手？” Vigorous and healthy retinue from hehe smiles in a low voice, does not dare to answer back. 健壮扈从嘿嘿低声一笑,丝毫不敢还嘴。 The sons of the influential operate gather together in the hand that the peach blossom beautiful woman folding fan, the smile said: „That Your Highness Heir is also insufficient to evading its point timidly, but this young master has not really paid attention to him, wants to ask for advice the polar bear Yuan Zuozong left hand blade, the world only knows that Yuan Baixiong is the day dismounts to fight first, does not know he had compared notes the knife skill with Gu Jiantang, after that then traded the left hand to practice the blade, is thinking which day attended to big General asking to return to the gathering place with us. However this young master wants to see that rides Yuan Baixiong who the army command, is not easy, in Lingzhou that several Beiliang cavalries are bad the matter, cannot belittle, looked that Xu Fengnian can exhibit in a big way received a guest a weaponry. Music movement, if is only the small scale that several hundred ride, is levelled by you, remembers, breaks the arm to break the leg to might as well, the murder exempted.” 公子哥一开一拢手中那把桃花美人折扇,微笑道:“那位世子殿下还不至于胆小到避其锋芒,不过本公子还真没将他放在眼里,还是更想领教领教白熊袁左宗的左手刀,世人只知道袁白熊是天下马战第一,可不知道他曾经跟顾剑棠切磋过刀法,那之后便换了左手练刀,想着哪天跟咱们顾大将军讨回场子。不过本公子想要见到那骑军统帅的袁白熊,也不容易,陵州境内的那几支北凉铁骑再不济事,还是不能小觑,就看那徐凤年到底能摆出多大的迎客阵仗了。乐章,如果仅是几百骑的小打小闹,就由你摆平,记住一点,断胳膊断腿无妨,杀人就免了。” The Vajra Boundary servant turned the neck, such as one skewer of soybean rupturing creak make noise, nod say with a smile Yin: „If Your Highness Heir is petty, with 300-400 rides to deceive the young master casually, the formation is thick, cannot withstand my several to rush ahead back and forth.” 金刚境仆役扭了扭脖子,如一串黄豆爆裂般咯吱作响,点头阴笑道:“如果那世子殿下小家子气,拿300-400骑来随便糊弄公子的话,阵型再厚实,也经不起我几个来回冲杀。” The sons of the influential do not have waist „” blade, but lives in that famous blade with bright red guy wires, string another end is in the wrist/skill, hangs one side of the barrel, sways. 公子哥并没有腰间“佩”刀,而是用一根朱红长绳系住那柄名刀,绳子另一端系在手腕上,就那么挂在马腹一侧,摇摇晃晃。 The music movement shot a look at eye that blade, the look somewhat dreaded. 乐章瞥了眼那柄刀,眼神有些忌惮。 This gadget that is with the first under heaven symbol blade Southern China same same treasure. 这玩意儿那可是跟天下第一符刀南华半斤八两的同等重器。 The name does not know that is which senior takes, the least bit is not careful, but was called as „crossing river” simply. 名字也不知是哪位前辈取的,半点都不上心,只是被简简单单称作“过河”。 His music movement good and evil is the Demon Cult famous great person, before This, several Heavenly Demon go to Demon Beheading Platform to provoke that Dragon Tiger Mountain big True Person Qi Xuanzhen, finally not only cannot divide equally the world, instead gives to slaughter completely, Zhulu Shan is unable to recover henceforth, declines, 20 years ago his music movement takes the Demon Cult Waishan disciple, reluctantly is the first-class expert, particularly after advancing into first grade boundary, is somewhat light, soliciting of old Duke marquis refusing Zhulu Shan to be a rear survival, without entering the mountain conferred nobility upon, but had one group to raise the standard of revolt hand/subordinate arbitrarily, said Captain Demon Cult, raised big reign of terror in the martial arts world, has not performed good deeds to dominate the rivers and lakes, by bright red. The big court eunuch of boa robe stops up, this person cat comes alone, except for him, everyone was skinned the cramp, if not Han Diaosi keeps his life to serve as to inquire Zhulu Shan secret Zhi, is difficult to escape dies, but after Zhulu Shan, did not want him to enter the mountain, music movement these years like the target of universal detestation, have been with trepidation, were for fear that regarded the waste to do the cat, when Capital City transmitted the Han Diaosi death last year the news, he crying tears of joy, is just thinking is heavy the rivers and lakes to stage a comeback, before result to body, this said that the young son of the influential from Zhulu Shan hits cannot clearly recognize the parents, even attended to a big General mind/square inch thunder. Can put forth, some Wu Family Sword Tomb and Eastern Yue sword pond many do not pass on the secret technique, emerges one after another incessantly, but his oneself how many move of pressure box abilities, only looked at one time by that youngster, can take away to change into oneself to use conveniently, how can his music movement first grade expert, how not be panic-stricken even? 他乐章好歹是魔教鼎鼎大名的大人物,甲子之前,几尊天魔去斩魔台挑衅那位龙虎山大真人齐玄帧,结果非但没能平分天下,反而都给宰杀殆尽,逐鹿山从此一蹶不振,江河日下,二十年前他乐章作为魔教外山弟子,勉强算是第一流高手,尤其是跻身一品境界后,有些轻飘飘,拒绝了逐鹿山硕果仅存的一位年迈公侯的招徕,没有入山封侯,而是带着一伙手下擅自揭竿而起,自称魔教首领,在武林中掀起一场不小的腥风血雨,尚未建功立业称霸江湖,就被一身鲜红蟒袍的大太监堵下,这只人猫单独而来,除了他,所有人都被剥皮抽筋,如果不是韩貂寺留他一命用作打探逐鹿山秘址,也早就难逃一死,只是逐鹿山之后再没有要他入山,乐章这些年如同过街老鼠,一直提心吊胆,生怕被人猫当成废物做掉,等到去年京城传来韩貂寺逝世的消息,他才喜极而泣,正想着是不是重出江湖东山再起,结果给身前这名自称来自逐鹿山的年轻公子哥打得认不清爹娘,甚至连顾大将军的方寸雷都能使出,一些吴家剑冢和东越剑池在内的诸多不传秘术,更是层出不穷,而他自己的几招压箱本领,只被那年轻人瞧了一次,就能够随手拿去化为己用,他乐章就算是一品高手又如何,怎能不惊骇？ The music movement has to be convinced, in the world has the rare martial arts talent. Before was Wang Xianzhi Li Chungang these rivers and lakes seniors, later should be one's turn this mostly „crossing river” the young owner of blade. 乐章不得不服气,天底下果真是有百年难遇的武学天才的。以前是王仙芝李淳罡这些江湖前辈,以后多半就该轮到这位“过河”刀的年轻主人了。 The son of the influential raised the head to see a peregrine falcon to pass over gently and swiftly, raises a charming smile, thought aloud: „Comes somewhat slowly.” 那公子哥抬头看见一头游隼掠过,扬起一个迷人笑脸,自言自语道:“来得有些慢啊。”
