On the Yellow Dragon battleship does not see the iron armor to be dense, the bow except for the slightly hunchbacked old person, the side is also of inborn a grand man pair of slender arched eyebrows, when his fan eyes always gives the feeling that the person the tiger naps, distant place is standing the slightly a middle-aged person who holds the lance. After Xu Fengnian falls gently gently, looks at each other one with the old person, then greets toward Yuan Zuozong, without forgetting to ask Liu Yanbing retinue to salute from the nod with the distant place, this person as Wang Xiu Junior Brother, the life under the Spear Immortal shadow, the reputation can not show, has never had the magnificent feat of shocking everybody, how therefore Liu Yan soldier/weapon cultivation base, was as deep as a well. Travels light Beiliang Xu Xiao to bring Xu Fengnian to arrive by the parapet, said with a smile: „Remembers previous time in this spring god lake, dies to fight with Wang Mingyang of Xiangfan city, this will seize the chance to come to see several, lake that lake, floated the lake fields full of the corpses of the starved compared with the past corpse the scene, living it up were too many, has the vitality/angry. This walks personally to see, knows that Zhao Heng Zhao Xun this to father and son, governing the district of jurisdiction big or small politics is truly unambiguous, drinks the tea liquor in the city casually, can hear common people's praises to the Ping'an Prince. I have thought toward is being an officer, if were attacked the impeachment by the official charged with remonstrating with the emperor, not necessarily is really the corrupt officials, but if within the boundaries common people reach an agreement, mostly really good.” 黄龙战舰上不见铁甲森森,船头除了个略显伛偻的老人,身边也就只有天生一双卧蚕眉的雄伟男子,他迷眼时总给人老虎打盹的感觉,身后稍远处站着一个持矛的中年人。徐凤年轻轻飘落后,跟老人对视一眼,然后就朝袁左宗打了声招呼,没有忘记跟远处叫刘偃兵的扈从点头致敬,此人作为王绣师弟,一直生活在枪仙的阴影下,声名不得彰显,从未有过惊世骇俗的壮举,因此刘偃兵的修为如何,高深莫测。轻车简从出北凉的徐骁带着徐凤年走到栏杆旁边,笑道:“记得上次在这春神湖上,还是跟襄樊城的王明阳死斗,这趟趁机会来看几眼,湖还是那个湖,就是比起当年死尸浮湖饿殍遍野的场景,热闹了太多,有生气。这一路走来亲眼所见,才知道赵衡赵珣这对父子,治理辖境大小政事确实不含糊,在城里随便喝个茶酒,都能听到老百姓对靖安王的赞誉声。我一直觉得在朝为官,如果被言官抨击弹劾,未必真是贪官污吏,可如果境内百姓说好,多半是真的好。” Mentioned that once to be trampled into young Regional Prince of spring god lake by him, Xu Fengnian jokes: „Also his side has a first-class adviser fortunately, otherwise Zhao Xun has eaten the bone not to remain to the azure party, by Zhang Julu how many under is tossed about by the azure party that sticking together accomplishes disintegrates, has not definitely been able to give a thought to the factional strife potential with stretch/open Dang, may cope with a prestige to be not enough to repress Zhao Xun of Qingzhou, that is also not easy, Liyang is surnamed Zhao, is the Xiangfan city and Qingzhou surname is not surnamed Zhao, who cares? Some people help him comb the vein to arrange the relations, warned of the consequences to that several old foxes, dropped out to marry the imperial concubine several baits, maintained composure intentionally, the son who helped a azure party big shot in Tai'an City must to a real power official employed in the capital, borrow others the tastes to have the truth afterward, Zhao Xun not these bait and kindness, will only degenerate into with a Huainan Prince welldoing.” 提及那个曾经被他踹入春神湖的年轻藩王,徐凤年讥笑道:“也就亏得他身边有个一流谋士,否则赵珣早就给青党吃得骨头不剩,靠抱团成事的青党被张巨鹿几下就折腾得分崩离析,已经完全无法跟张党顾党争势,可对付一个声威不足以弹压青州的赵珣,那还不是手到擒来,离阳姓赵,可是襄樊城和青州姓不姓赵,谁在乎？是有人帮他梳理脉络打点关系,对那几只老狐狸晓以利害,抛下娶妃在内几个鱼饵,又故意不动声色,帮一位青党大佬的儿子在太安城要到一个实权京官,事后才假借别人之口道出真相,赵珣没有这些实打实的诱饵和恩惠,只会沦为跟淮南王一个德行。” Xu Xiao both hands hold the parapet, said with a smile: „Is that in forever the child lane with eye of blind land Xu who you bet the chess, two sparse 14 plans stem from his writing skill, I have also looked, unexpectedly even my boorish fellow can understand, is not simple. Zhao Heng this woman makes mistakes for a lifetime unceasingly, this at the important matter holds the this solitary one request only attractively, in the Yishan words does not have the smoke anger, successful. Therefore this person, cannot be too smooth, went smoothly, really to can only depend on the oneself hopeless situation, must want to save face at all costs, is not willing to act out of desperation.” 徐骁双手抓住栏杆,笑道:“是那个在永子巷跟你赌棋的目盲陆诩吧,二疏十四策出自他的手笔,我也看过,竟然连我这莽夫都看得懂,不简单。赵衡这个娘们一辈子都在大事上犯错不断,唯独这手托孤托得漂亮,用义山的话说就是没有烟火气,水到渠成。所以说这人啊,就不能太顺风顺水,太顺遂了,真到了只能靠自己的绝境,都还要死要面子,不愿狗急跳墙。” Xu Fengnian asked: „How to think that left Beiliang? Yuan Second Brother and Ball Lu these rookies change the veteran, whose Beiliang looks in eyes is the unstable scene, in addition taking advantage of the Beiliang cavalry previous time the Dongfeng that treads the broken border, Beimang that side Dong Zhuo and Hong Jingyan did not have the past fetter, don't you fear Beimang to return the favor, hit our one to be caught off guard? If by some chance in Beiliang some people......” 徐凤年问道:“怎么想到离开北凉了？袁二哥和禄球儿这些新人换老将,北凉瞧在谁眼里都是动荡不安的光景,加上借着北凉铁骑上次踏破边境的东风,北莽那边董卓和洪敬岩都没了以往的束缚,你就不怕北莽还以颜色,打个咱们一个措手不及？万一北凉内有人……” Xu Fengnian stops at this point, Xu Xiao beckons with the hand to say with a smile: „Inside and outside coordinates? The father looks forward to these suppurating ulcer wicked pus to leak, always covers-up calls the person to be disgusting. Some people, half a lifetime life and death friendship is placed there after all, the father also can only open eyes to close one's eyes, long ago complied with their whole life, so long as has not died on the battlefield, how must attain together leniently the woman money official headgear is good, father this whole life had a deficit the deceased person to be many, may live, confessed that also really few had a deficit. Like that Zhong Hongwu, father with his first meeting, but also is only a corporal, that little while father cracks a joke to ask after him, wants to be the big officer, Zhong Hongwu said that can work as Colonel to be content, the subordinate has No. 700-800 capable brothers, whom can see is not pleasing to the eyes cuts anyone, his whole life also on value. Yan Wenluan, a young time interesting young fellow, always talked over after me him must work as a horse dealer, even if as the matter stands died, can still die on the horseback, when if did not need to worry about food or clothing the peaceful officer, he said after one big age was not glad to ride a horse, only feared that must die on the belly of woman. Sometimes, the father looks the old fogies who these high offices and high pay put on weight gradually, suddenly thought does not know. In the past also had the brothers to dare to scold the father not to make every effort to succeed face to face, said that is a father, if big General only will work as well compared with your Xu Xiao, the youngest brother wanted midnight to go crazy, carries jug liquor to run father's army tent/account saying that must play games drinking , the youngest brother was smiling with the father threatens if did not decide the baby to kiss, has not resulted is the brothers. That little while, Li Yishan and Zhao Changling also, Zhong Hongwu Yan Wenluan one large crowd also not old, Chen Zhibao Yuan Zuozong these children, not to mention. At that time the father most liked going to war, never the fearing death person, father oneself did not fear, anyone of you dare not? No courage rolls to hug the young married woman hot head as early as possible. So long as has the weaponry to get ready personally on the insanity, without the weaponry hits, must go to ask the weaponry to hit with these high officials brazen-faced and shameless, do you want money? Father not good this, how many to you how many, to deliver you, considers too little? That is first buying on credit, when father won the war, your entire box of entire box carries off with the carriage is! Wants the military exploit? Also ok, so long as to the father remnant thick soup cold roast/broil, do not treat unjustly the brothers who went all out, so long as your descendants have come to a field, going to war time leaves the battlefield long distance to be all right, afterward gives in vain them the military exploit equally greatly. Such a, who isn't glad to do business with the father? The prize investment, the fool does not do. Then the royal government starts to know that has such a surnamed Xu young barbarian, the eastern Liaoning lowly family background, crops up after by luck, is not greedy for money , not the corrupt merit, wants dead in the battlefield. Therefore to finally, relates the good royal government high-ranking official with the father, is glad to give the troops very much to the weapon, is thinking lets them by father's military exploit the loud speech in the temple. Relates not the good enemy with the father, wants, your Xu Xiao exactly chatty, that lets roll urges to go faster gnaws the hardest bone, hard fight that hitting to be most difficult to fight. Then, the father goes to war to hit is hitting is going south, the bold valve old family that the unyielding pillar of the state who royal government these keep aloof, has looked down upon the father, is glad to raise a curtain screen such a to look finally, somewhat feared, how unknowingly was Barbarian Xu majestic on the soldiers and horses?” 徐凤年说到这里就停下,徐骁摆手笑道:“里外策应？爹巴不得那些烂疮恶脓自个儿漏出来,总是藏着掖着才叫人恶心。有些人,毕竟半辈子生死情分摆在那里,爹也只能睁只眼闭只眼,早年答应他们这辈子只要没死在沙场上,怎么都要把女人银子官帽都一起拿到手软才行,爹这辈子亏欠了死人很多,可活着的,自认还真就没有几个亏欠的。像那钟洪武,爹跟他第一次见面,还只是个伍长,那会儿爹开玩笑问他以后想当多大的官,钟洪武说能当个校尉就知足,麾下有700-800号精壮兄弟,能够见谁不顺眼就砍谁,他这辈子也就值了。还有燕文鸾,年轻时候多有意思的一个小伙子,总跟我念叨说他以后要当个马贩子,这样一来就算死,也可以死在马背上,如果当个衣食无忧的太平官,他说就一大把年纪后就不乐意骑马了,只怕就要死在娘们的肚皮上。有些时候,爹看着那些高官厚禄渐渐发福的老家伙们,突然就觉得一个个都不认识了。当年还有兄弟敢当面骂爹不争气,说是老子要是当大将军只会比你徐骁当得更好,还有老兄弟愿意半夜发疯,拎着一坛子酒就跑来爹的军帐说要划拳拼酒,也还有老兄弟嬉皮笑脸跟爹威胁说要是不定下娃娃亲,就没得做兄弟。那会儿,李义山和赵长陵都还在,钟洪武燕文鸾一大批人都还没老,陈芝豹袁左宗这些孩子,就更不用说了。那时候爹最喜欢打仗,从来不怕死人,爹自己都不怕,你们谁敢怕？没有胆子就趁早滚回去搂着婆娘热炕头去。所以只要有仗打整个人就疯魔,没有仗打,也要死皮赖脸去跟那些大官求仗打,你要银子？老子可不好这个,有多少就给你多少,都送你们,嫌少？那就先赊着,等老子打赢了仗,你们让人整箱整箱用马车拉走就是！要军功？也行,只要给老子一点残羹冷炙,别太亏待了去拼命的兄弟,你们的子孙只要来过个场,打仗的时候离战场十万八千里都没事,事后一样大把军功都白送他们。这么一来,谁不乐意跟爹做买卖？一本万利,傻子才不做。然后朝廷就开始都知道有那么一个姓徐的年轻蛮子,辽东贫贱出身,侥幸冒头以后,不贪财,也不贪功,就是想死在战场上。于是到最后,跟爹关系好的朝廷大员,很乐意给人马给兵器,想着靠爹的军功让他们在庙堂上大声说话。跟爹关系不好的仇家,更愿意,你徐骁活腻歪了是吧,那就让滚去去啃最硬的骨头,打最难打下来的死仗。然后,爹就这么打仗打着打着一路南下,朝廷那些高高在上的砥柱栋梁,一直瞧不起爹的豪阀世族,总算乐意掀起眼帘子那么一瞧,才有些怕了,不知不觉徐蛮子咋就兵马雄壮了？” Xu Xiao cracks into a smile, stretches out a palm, „50,000 cavalries. The father extinguished Northern Han with 50,000 cavalries. Northern Han young Emperor clamored with your father in the past, said surnamed Xu cannot be joined to your mother Wu Su, added that your mother is blind, does not match to practice the sword. The father did not quarrel with him, finally leads 600 elite cavalries, penetrated from the imperial city front door directly, broke in that throne room. The fellow on the dragon chair, frightened to urinate weak the pants.” 徐骁咧嘴一笑,伸出一只手掌,“五万铁骑。爹用五万铁骑就灭了北汉。北汉的年轻皇帝当年跟你爹叫嚣,说姓徐的配不上你娘亲吴素,还说你娘是瞎了眼,根本不配练剑。爹也不跟他吵,最后带着六百精锐铁骑,直接从皇城大门突入,冲入了那座金銮殿。那家伙瘫软在龙椅上,吓尿了裤子。” The Xu Fengnian look smiles warm, this deeds thoroughly cooked in heart, has actually heard the cocoon, but revealed unlike the past directly on the face impatient, so long as now Xu Xiao is willing saying that he is willing to listen. 徐凤年眼神温暖笑了笑,这桩事迹其实早就烂熟于心,听得起茧子了,但跟以往直接表露在脸上的不耐烦不一样,如今只要徐骁愿意说,他就愿意听。 Xu Xiao is suddenly awkward smiles, obviously was thirsty, toward deliberately stood far Yuan Zuozong to beckon, „took two pot white liquors, did not use warm, the white liquor was better.” 徐骁突然尴尬一笑,显然是口渴了,朝刻意站远的袁左宗招招手,“去拿两壶白酒来,不用温热,越烧刀子越好。” Yuan Zuozong carries two pot liquor quickly, Xu Xiao and a Xu Fengnian person of pot, after a Xu Xiao such stop, no longer said that his these past events, said in a soft voice: „Han Shengxuan died, Liu Gaoshi also died, almost was only left over half tongue Yuan Benxi and Zhao Huangchao. Matter that the father cannot achieve, the son achieved, the father was happier. The father this time leaves Beiliang, except for giving Yan Wenluan and the others last opportunity, actually mainly wants to take the road that you passed through in the past, went to the mansion of promote in midway, has not been thinking how to feel embarrassed them, but heard that Shanxi Orchid Pavilion promote right Libationer old gentleman, knows after the father gets married not to enter, on the same day gave scares to death livingly.” 袁左宗很快拎来两壶酒,徐骁和徐凤年一人一壶,徐骁这么一个停顿后,就不再说他的那些往事,轻声道:“韩生宣死了,柳蒿师也死了,差不多就只剩下半截舌元本溪和赵黄巢了。爹做不到的事情,儿子做到了,爹更高兴。爹这次离开北凉,除了给燕文鸾等人最后一个机会,其实主要还是想走一走你当年走过的路,中途去了晋家的府邸,也没想着如何为难他们,不过听说晋兰亭晋右祭酒的老爷子,知道爹过门而不入之后,当天就给活生生吓死了。” Helpless Xu Fengnian said: „Does not make others celebrate the new year.” 徐凤年无奈道:“也不让人家过个好年。” Xu Xiao closes with a smile, looks to the northwest, said slowly: „Father is thinking a matter in the two years, if Beimang really iron core must lack consideration for the whole to insist on going south, then finally, the father hands over the family property on your hand to have many. Father this whole life fought so many wars, the victory and loss has, loses little wins much, may lose that is really miserable, collapses completely, has almost calculates to be annihilated twice, to no one thought miserably the father can also stage a comeback. After losing a battle, saw that these by the young face that the gunsmoke blackens by smoke, saw father time can also smile, did not think that with mistakenly person, the father was much more aggrieved, pledged at that time, even if the father were the high official by luck, had the son, must make this boy go to the battlefield to walk in the future personally one time! Only can like this, the father think that does right by these soldiers, feels better at heart. But really waited for oneself to have the son, must incur you to go to Capital City to make Imperial Son-in-law like past Zhao Family, actually the father had to think complied, at that time the father was thinking, must on a guilty father person, the father later arrive guilty, apologized with the youngest brothers again and that's the end, the heart was thinking very much selfishly the oneself son by this crime, the father be not then carried the liquor to listen to the moist pavilion to look for Yishan to drink, knows that Yishan raised one's wine cup to throw outside the room directly, he heard afterward your boy ran to make a living as a wandering fortune-teller, I asked him to drink the alcohol to drown one's sorrows again, Yishan have. The smile, drinks the fathers unable to calm down. Therefore these years, many veterans after Beiliang takes root, many father hero son is bad, the son rushed out many disasters, making them clean up, some people also kept an face, comes Qingliang Mountain nearby me to ask favor directly, some think me unable to see, handles some more wrong matter stealthily, silences the witnesses to stamp out the source of trouble, the method is not bad compared with the Spring and Autumn war, some are straightforwarder, think that the father rushes to the next today's military exploit family property with Xu Xiao like mad, oneself child kills several people to bully several women to calculate that the important matter of egg, killed and torched to pour the perfectly justified matter, does not think why in the past will be glad. Ties up the head on the belt with surnamed Xu goes all out, why kills to be an official that without hesitation.” 徐骁一笑置之,望向西北,缓缓说道:“爹这两年都在想一件事情,如果北莽真铁了心要不顾大局执意南下,那么最后,爹交到你手上的家底有多少。爹这辈子打了那么多场仗,输赢都有,输少赢多,可输的时候那是真的惨,一败涂地,有两次更是几乎算全军覆没,惨到没人觉得爹还能东山再起。打败仗后,看到那些一张张被硝烟熏黑的年轻脸庞,看到爹的时候还能笑得出来,一点都不觉得跟错了人,爹就憋屈得慌,当时就发誓,就算老子侥幸当了大官,有了儿子,也一定要让这小子将来亲自去战场上走一遭！只能这样,爹才觉得对得起那些士卒,心里才好受一点。但真等自己有了儿子,像当年赵家要招你去京城做驸马,其实爹不是没有想过答应下来,那时候爹就想着,要愧疚就愧疚爹一个人,爹以后到了地底下,再跟老兄弟们赔罪就是了,心底还是很自私想着自己儿子别遭这个罪,然后爹就拎着酒去听潮阁找义山喝酒,知道吗,义山直接就把酒丢到了屋外,是后来他听说你小子跑去闯荡江湖了,我再去找他喝闷酒,义山才有了笑脸,喝到爹都根本劝不住。所以这些年,许多老将在北凉扎根以后,很多老子英雄儿子孬,儿子闯出了很多祸事,让他们来擦屁股,一些人还留了点脸面的,就直接来清凉山我跟前求情,一些就以为我看不见,鬼鬼祟祟做些更错的事情,杀人灭口斩草除根,手段比起春秋战事一点不差,有一些更直截了当,认为老子拼死拼活跟徐骁闯下今天的军功家业,自家孩子杀几个人欺负几个娘们算个卵的大事,杀人放火倒成了天经地义的事情,也不想想,当年为什么会乐意把脑袋拴在裤腰带上跟姓徐的去拼命,为什么杀起当官的那么毫不犹豫。” Xu Xiao filled liquor ruthlessly, smiles to ask: „Father wants to make Yishan handle something, but Yishan said that you do not let, how do you think?” 徐骁狠狠灌了一口酒,笑问道:“爹本来想让义山做些事情,可义山说你死活不让,你是怎么想的？” Xu Fengnian tranquil say/way: „Your this whole life is notorious, does the infamy also dislike insufficiently much? Also will die there also to stay behind to select the reputation in Beiliang old, you did not fear that others scolded you not to think of the former friendship to dismantle the bridge after crossing, I feared. Before these new emperor ascend the throne, previous emperor hurries to help first wipe out the meritorious old person's emperor plan, do not use on Beiliang. Changes me to do, your many can satisfied, I have to have no burden, Zhong Hongwu punish one as a warning to others, later in Beiliang, the favor is the favor, the custom is the custom, who takes the favor with my bad custom, I make him take off to get the hell out. This time returns to Beiliang, when I first go to the west side wilderness, bosses around sinful subjects who that ten on several tens of thousands of Mark fights, then I must go all over the Beiliang district of jurisdiction, I do not believe the Liyang rivers and lakes to pass through, Beimang also passes through, but also cannot walk own Beiliang.” 徐凤年平静道:“你这辈子恶名昭彰,骂名还嫌不够多？也就在北凉旧将旧卒那里还留下点好名声,你不怕别人骂你不念旧情过河拆桥,我怕。那些新帝登基前,先帝赶紧帮忙先拔除掉功勋老人的帝王心术,你就别用在北凉身上了。换我来做,你多少能心安理得一点,我就更有没什么负担,钟洪武不过是杀鸡儆猴,以后在北凉,人情是人情,规矩是规矩,谁拿人情跟我坏规矩,我就让他卷铺盖滚蛋。这次回北凉,等我先去西边荒漠,笼络那十数万上马可战的罪民,然后我就要走遍北凉辖境,我就不信离阳江湖走过,北莽也走过,还走不下来一个自家的北凉。” Xu Xiao gratified nod, but drinks. 徐骁欣慰点头,只是喝酒。 Xu Xiao swallows the last strong liquor, shook the spatial pot, said in a soft voice: „Arrived Beiliang, first left is drawing in the sinful subjects influence that these Yishan prop up anxiously, first accompanies the father to look at the Beiliang cavalry, is good?” 徐骁咽下最后一口烈酒,晃了晃空壶,轻声说道:“到了北凉,先别急着去收拢那些义山扶植起来的罪民势力,先陪爹看一看北凉铁骑,行不行？” Xu Fengnian bites the lip, said with a smile: „Where has, when father always asked that the son is good?” 徐凤年咬了咬嘴唇,笑道:“哪有当爹的总是问儿子行不行？” Xu Xiao threw the wine pot to arrive in the lake, said with a smile: „Where has, when father again and again makes the son go out to brave hardships and dangers?” 徐骁丢了酒壶到湖中,也笑道:“哪有当爹的三番四次让儿子出去涉险？” Xu Xiao both hands insert the sleeve, looked up a weather, narrowed the eye saying: „Previous time is to possibly be busy killing people, had not felt, this knows south side as gloomy and cold as bone , the father is old.” 徐骁双手插袖,抬头看了眼天色,眯眼道:“上次可能是忙着一路杀人,没觉得,这回才知道南边阴冷到骨子里,爹老喽。” Xu Fengnian takes off the red fox fur hat silently, presses on Xu Xiao, draws gently downward solid, blocks from old person's ear. 徐凤年默默摘下红狐皮帽,压在徐骁头上,轻轻往下拉严实,遮住老人的耳朵。 The old person moves the lip, has turned around suddenly. 老人动了动嘴唇,猛然转过身。 It seems like does not want to make the son see his tears, his hero is late in life. 似乎是不想让儿子看到他的老泪纵横,他的英雄迟暮。
