一支商贸马队进入流州境内,来到凉州与青苍城中间位置的马鬃山,一眼望去,尽是棕黄色的戈壁残丘,难以耕作,山势呈现出一排排南北向的雁行状,山口之间,风急沙大飞如刀,由东往西的马队就要从此穿过,在朝廷将北凉原有三州纳入版图后,原本离开此地就算是出塞离边了,近20年来不乏有诗人远游此地,多有脍炙人口的边塞诗篇传诵朝野。此次北凉道设置流州,离阳朝廷大概半年后才下达诏令,数十人得以升官加爵,主要一封就是拔擢杨光斗为流州刺史,中原官员根本就没听说过此人,但也心知肚明,这是赵廷不得不捏着鼻子承认了徐家在北凉的只手遮天,太安城的圣旨几乎与北莽举国兵马南侵的消息一同传出,京城马上就有人幸灾乐祸,传出“且看你北凉横行到几时”的说法,随着北莽陈兵西线边境的传闻得到确认,竟是冲刷了许多广陵道征战失利的阴霾,在许多人看来,只要不打顾剑棠大将军把守的东线,一来离阳不用两线作战,二来凉莽死磕本就是狗咬狗,毕竟如果说北莽是一头垂涎中原肥肉的野狗,北凉也好不到哪里去,对于离阳朝廷而言,始终是一只不太听话的看门狗,野性难驯。As a Beiliangcounter-flowstategraduallyrelaxesmanybans, somerefugees not only can the returningancestor worship, even can also throw the armyborder pass, but alsooldBeiliang of oldthreestate can also the smoothinward fluxstate, search the opportunity that pans for goldkeenly, thisshuttlein the horse caravan of Mazong Shanisso, the horse caravanmastersare the Lingzhouwealthy and powerful families, generationoperationteahorsesalt and irontheselarge trades, the ancestorisfollows the personslaughterto fight up and down the countrymanyyears of military personfamily backgrounds, after Xu Familysettles downtakes root inBeiliang, the government positiononlycrawlstofrom the old person of fourth grademilitary commanderdiesof the battlefieldchronic illness, it is saidat that timeevenBeiliang Princealsooncearrived at the mourning hallto worship, thisgreat honor, will be planting the entrance.

随着北凉道对流州逐渐放松许多禁令,一些流民不但可以返乡祭祖,甚至还能投军边关,而且旧三州的老北凉也能顺利进入流州,敏锐寻觅淘金的商机,这支穿梭于马鬃山的马队就是如此,马队主人是陵州的大户,世代经营茶马盐铁这些大宗生意,祖上是跟随人屠南征北战多年的武人出身,徐家落户扎根北凉后,官职只爬到从四品武将的老人死于沙场旧疾,据说当时连北凉王也曾亲临灵堂拜祭,这份殊荣,在将种门庭多如牛毛的北凉境内,屈指可数,随着老凉王徐骁的去世,那次待遇,就愈发成了这户人家的护身符,别家的边境生意开始凋敝难行,他们做生意反而越来越畅通无阻,甚至还把家族枝蔓顺利伸入了流州。将近百人的傅家马队中夹杂有两个外人,是一对师徒,马队几位常年行走边关险地的主事人对此都不太欢迎,只不过听说是陵州一位连傅家也招惹不起的当红官老爷发话,说是那世家子吃饱了撑着要游历塞外,不得不收容进入马队。傅家除了老家主辛苦积攒下来香火情,之后两代后辈因为都遵循祖训远离官场,难免露出疲态,毕竟还是要看人脸色行事。傅家名义上的领队是傅家三房的长孙傅震生,再交由两名熟络边境的老江湖帮带着,这傅震生倒是一身书卷气,不过传言族内武艺教头对其习武天赋赞不绝口,至于手脚把式的深浅,从没人见过他出手,赵家宝和冯千祥两位在江湖沉浮中练就火眼金睛的老人也吃不准,江湖规矩是看低易看高难,想必傅震生的身手差不到哪里去。

马队在一座雁形山后小作休整暂避风沙,傅震生背靠山壁而坐,小心翼翼拎起新制羊皮水囊,喝了口难掩温臭的水。傅家一直有这个传统,傅家子弟头一回行走边关,便有家中长辈妇人缝制水囊,再由男性长辈交到手上。新囊即便经过烘干祛除腥味,储水之后依旧让人难以忍受,这对于富贵子孙来说无异于一种折磨,不过傅家家风淳朴,子孙后代大多性子坚韧,傅震生经过初期的不适应后,每次喝水已经可以面不改色。他瞥了眼站在远处的那对师徒,做师父的跟他差不多年纪,长得玉树临风,本该是在陵州风月场合做那班头人物,不知为何要来边塞自讨苦吃,那个徒弟是个不起眼的孩子,不过进入流州后,比许多走惯了塞外的傅家人还要如鱼得水。傅震生一路细致观察,此时跟两位前辈说道:“赵伯,冯叔,那徐奇不像是初次行走边塞的人物,不需咱们提醒,每次饮水的分量就十分恰当,从不因口渴而暴饮。待人接物也八面玲珑,不像是那些不谙世故的士族子弟,况且能让咱们傅家忌惮的陵州大族,也不算多,可没有听说有这么一号人物。”Worked as the Zhao Familytreasures of more than 20years of retainernot to needto act servilelythat side the head of householdtoFu Jia, relates the sworn friendwiththreeroom/househeads of household, therefore the linegave as much support as possibletoownyounger generationgeneralFuZhensheng, heardFushakesto livethisold daoistspoken language, the oldbosomconsoledgreatly, thatsenilemotleyvicissitudesfacepiled a heartfelthappy expression, the nodsaid: „Thatcalledslowstrangeyoungster, althoughwalkedin the horse caravans, mustlittlesuffermanysandstormhardshipscompared withfewmasters, butthatcalm, does not wantto install to install, rode a horseaccompanying and dismountdiet, andthousandauspiciousthesedrank the old bones of northwest windsame is not fastidiouswithme, properly speaking, trulypassed the stockto be strange, has toguard. Fewmasterscan the longmind, be the good deeds. Sincefewmastersopened the mouth, thousandauspicious, you can also divulge the details.”
给傅家当了二十多年门客的赵家宝在家主那边都无需卑躬屈膝,跟三房家主更是关系莫逆,故而一路行来对自家晚辈一般的傅震生倾囊相授,听到傅震生这番老道言语,老怀大慰,那张老态斑驳的沧桑脸庞堆出一份由衷笑意,点头道:“那叫徐奇的年轻人虽说走在马队中间,比少东家要少吃许多风沙苦头,可那份气定神闲,不是想装就能装出来的,骑马随行和下马饮食,都跟我和千祥这些喝惯西北风的老骨头一样没讲究,照理来说,确实透着股古怪,不得不提防。少东家能够多长一个心眼,是好事啊。既然少东家开口了,千祥,你也可以透底喽。”
The bodybackFengQianxiang of long bladesmiled, sinkingsound said: „Fewmastersfelt relieved, before head of householdjourney, in privatehas confessedwithmeandoldZhao, althoughthisslowstrangeof unknown origin, butcanguarantee the statusto be pure, is not a bad man. HoweverIhave the selfishnesswitholdZhao, wantsto look that fewmasterwhetheroneselfcan take a look atthatto the difference of masters and disciples, thishas not stated clearly, fewmasters should not be offended.”
身后背了一柄长刀的冯千祥笑了笑,沉声道:“少东家放心,家主这趟出行前,私下跟我和老赵交代过,这个徐奇虽说来历不明,但可以保证身份清白,绝非歹人。不过我跟老赵都有私心,想看一看少东家能否自己瞅出那对师徒的异样,这才没有明说,少东家可不要见怪啊。”„By rights ought toso.”FuZhenshengwas contaminatedsince childhoodcommonlywithwill be planting the gatewaydifferentfamily tradition, is reserved, receivessheepleather bagslowly, sipped the splitlip, self-ridicules saying: „oneselfpasses throughthis, knows the northwest wind the flavor, seriously.”
“理当如此。”傅震生自幼浸染着与寻常将种门户大为迥异的家风,性情内敛,缓缓收起羊皮囊子,抿了抿干裂嘴唇,自嘲道:“自己走过这一趟,才知道西北风的味道,当真不咋的啊。”FuZhenshengsighedsuddenly, said: „Thatnewclass/flowstateis the place of wolfobserving the situation, previouslyBeiliang Royal Residencetrusted aidestaffChen Xiliangreally had the suspicion of womanly compassion, extremelypays great attention toonce here and there the success and failure, refused the abandonedcity, finallywas siegedin the deep greencityby10,000mounted bandits, ruineddozenswhite horserighteousnessin vainfrom the life, Beiliangguardedborder passso manyyears, thislossmaybe rarely seen.

Drew back10,000steps saying that Fushakeslife and deathdied, delayed the Beilianggreat undertaking, if the grandfatherwere in good health, the grandson who mustnot allow my not to become a useful adultmostlyenteredhome.”
傅震生突然叹了口气,说道:“那新流州是豺狼环视之地,先前北凉王府心腹幕僚陈锡亮确有妇人之仁的嫌疑,太过注重一时一地的得失,拒不弃城,结果被一万马贼围困青苍城中,白白葬送了几十位白马义从的性命,北凉镇守边关这么多年,这种损失可不多见。也不知道新任刺史杨光斗是一个如何性情的大人物,若是跟陈锡亮这位清凉山大红人一脉相承,我们傅家此行,恐怕前途叵测。退一万步说,傅震生死则死矣,耽误了北凉大业,爷爷倘若健在,多半要不许我这个不成材的孙子进家门了。”
The Zhao Familytreasuredoes not favorto the futureobviously, is heavyhearted: „OurFuwasBeiliangrushes aboutto toil for about20years, in namewas the wandererborderbusiness, sought for the mineactuallyin secreteverywhere, the Beilianggold oreiron orestems fromFu'shandmost probably, thiswent backclass/flowstateFengxiangto confirm that the quality of materialoutput of thatiron ore, Ilookedsomewhatdangerous.”赵家宝显然对前程也不看好,忧心忡忡道:“咱们傅家为北凉奔波劳碌了将近二十年,名义上是闯荡边境生意,实则暗中四处找寻矿山,北凉金矿铁矿可谓大半出自傅家之手,这回去流州凤翔一带确认那座铁矿的质地产量,我看有些悬。”FengQianxiangsaid with a smile: „After all is hopingBeiliangcanwinthiswar, otherwisefatheraccumulated the family property of most lifetime to throw away carelessly. When the time comeseven ifBeiliang Princestandsnearbyme, I must point athisnoseto scoldone.”
冯千祥笑道:“终归是盼着北凉能打赢这一仗,否则老子攒了大半辈子的家底可就打水漂了。到时候就算北凉王站在我跟前,我也要指着他的鼻子骂一通。”
The Zhao Familytreasurelaughs, looked that the becoming fewermasteris bewildered, explained: „Heardmustgo to war, that sideLingzhoudid not have the consciencenot to have the wealthy and powerful families of courageto startto go out, but the house and paddiescould not carry off, can only sell cheap, the goodhouse that more than 2000twosilvernotnecessarilybought, 820 to succeed in obtaining, thousandauspiciousthisdid not take advantagefour, for this reasonalsoborrowed1200withme.

Don't theserich mendisliketroublesome? Even ifonly then the family properties of 102,000money, 100 golds and 1000 silvers, mustrun50times.”
傅震生好奇问道:“才这么点金银,难不成派人来回出入北凉?那些有钱人也不嫌麻烦?哪怕只有十万两银子的家底,100金1000银,也得跑个五十次啊。”FengQianxiangshakes the headto say with a smile: „Alsosimple, actuallydoes not needto carrygold and silverto leave country, bought the antiquecalligraphy and paintingrare curio, but alsorelaxedconvenient, thistakes awayalsono oneto managein any caseagainmuch, toBeiliangoutside, samecantrademoney, the hereditary scholar classfamily whose fortunes are on the decline that theseare skilled in the connoisseurship, changes, became the guest of each and every family, nowmaypick up the fullcrumbs.

Fewmasters, or did youmarrythatwoman?”
冯千祥摇头笑道:“也简单,其实不用携带金银出境,都买了古董字画珍玩,还轻松方便,反正这个带走再多也没人管,到了北凉以外,一样能换到银子,那些精于鉴赏的士族破落户,摇身一变,成了家家户户的座上宾,如今可都捞足油水了。咱们陵州那个莫名其妙崛起的鱼龙帮,少东家听说过吧,我比起他们的吃相,简直不值一提,人家那架势,简直就是万金散尽,全部买了田地宅子,也不知道那么多银子是哪儿来的,粗略算过,就我所知道的地产,鱼龙帮就已经砸出去八十万两银子,真实数目还不得翻一番,这都要成为坐拥半个陵州的大地主了,鱼龙帮那女子帮主的魄力,我这个大老爷们也佩服得五体投地。少东家,要不你去娶了那女子?”FuZhenshengcannot open the person of joke, butstillfeltsomewhatreluctantly, self-ridicules saying: „WithHuishanpurpleclothessamehero who moves the world, wherewill be able to take a liking to the eyeI.”
傅震生不是开不起玩笑的人,不过仍是感到有些无奈,自嘲道:“跟徽山紫衣一样名动天下的女中豪杰,哪里会瞧得上眼我。”

带着余地龙进入流州的徐凤年绕到另一座雁形山壁后,看到一对意料之外的熟人,鹿鸣宋氏的宋洞明和他的书童,两两相望,宋洞明先是愣了一下,然后爽朗大笑,“从山清水秀的武当到这穷山恶水,都能遇见这位公子,可真是人生何处不相逢啊,公子若是放心,我这儿还有小半囊酒,是北凉的绿蚁,酒烈得很,入嘴初时灼烧喉咙,可片刻后,竟能喝出一份清凉,宋某人也是才喝出的门道,早知道就多买几壶了,悔不当初担心囊中羞涩啊,就该赊账也要多带两壶绿蚁傍身的。”Xu Fengniandoes not have many smalltalk, received the liquorpouch, liftsinin the air, poured a smallmouth, hands overto give back toSong Dongming, the lattersmilesto ask: „Young masterare not manydrinksseveral, might as wellmatter.”徐凤年没有过多客套,接过酒囊,抬在空中,倒了一小口,就递还给宋洞明,后者笑问道:“公子不多喝几口,不妨事的。”Xu Fengnianshakes the headto say with a smile: „slowstrangedid not seize a person of beauty.”徐凤年摇头笑道:“徐奇就不夺人之美了。”SeesXu Fengnianto identify one's role when first coming on stage, Song Dongmingthoughtprobably the son of the influential of Beiliangvoicedefinitelydoes not knowwhereLumingSongissacred, said: „Below Song Dongming, the ancestral placein the JiangnanLumingcounty, meets by chancewithYoung Master Xutwice, the fateis really big......”
见徐凤年自报家门,宋洞明大概是觉得北凉口音的公子哥肯定不知道鹿鸣宋氏是何方神圣,说道:“在下宋洞明,祖居于江南鹿鸣郡,与徐公子两度相逢,缘分委实不小……”
The wordstold only half,Song Dongmingis swattedby the witheredneedlebushes that the sandstormcoerceson the cheeks, puts out a handto touch, after holdingthatis mature, rootwithered and yellowbushes that makes the flyingcotton woolto the land, sighs with emotion: „A year old twoups and downs, faded and fallenalong withstrong wind from afar.”
话才说到一半,宋洞明被风沙裹挟的干枯针茅草扑打在脸颊上,伸手一摸,抓住那成熟后根离大地作飞絮的枯黄茅草,感慨道:“一岁两枯荣,飘零随长风。”
The bookchildstretches out the fingersuddenly, shouts: „Misteryoulooks, is that the rocket?”
书童突然伸出手指,喊道:“先生你看,那就是狼烟吗?”Along the finger of writing bookschild, Song Dongmingsaw that above the desertraisessturdyrocket, shouldbe the deep greencityposition, is showingsafe and secureto the Liangzhouherereport, previouslytheywalked into the class/flowstatenot to seethisscene, no wonder the oneselfbookchildis so surprised, Song Dongmingmuttered: „Inancient booksaid that herestopperrocketis differentfrom the Central Plain, toburn the wolfexcrementto acquire fame, the smoke and firestraightlyandis extremely black, the winddoes not blowslantingly. Maythink so,thisrocketexcept foris sturdier, shadeandCentral Plainnotdifference.”
顺着书童的手指,宋洞明看到大漠之上升起一根粗壮狼烟,应该是青苍城方位,在向凉州这边报示平安,先前他们走入流州都不曾见到这番光景,难怪自己的书童这般惊奇,宋洞明喃喃自语道:“古书上说这边塞狼烟不同于中原,以烧狼粪而得名,烟火笔直而极黑,风吹不斜。可这么看去,这股狼烟除了粗壮些,浓淡与中原并无差异啊。”Xu Fengniansaid with a smilein a soft voice: „Thatperhapsis the false reports of certainfrontier fortresspoets, the northwestborder area, the wolfexcrementburnssmokeperhapsoccasionallypromisingit, butthatis the helplessaction under cattleexcrementinsufficientsituation, mostlymakes use of local materials, the diversiform-leaved poplarChinese tamariskcarpentryfirewood, supplements with the dryreed that mayresult ineverywhereand other flammablegrass, moreoverBeiliang the regionalbeacon-fires of army, the so-calledrocketburns the supply, hasconsiderablestrictmixing, ifwere patrolled the prisonridesto discover that somebeacon-firereserveis insufficient, mustbe implicated the upper fourth gradeofficial, beheadscompletely, whoasked favoruselessly, Beiliangabout for 20years, becausethis‚minor matter.’, Almostdied more than 300people.

Young Master Xu, listening toyoupreviouslyto tell the rocketreason, obviouslyknows thoroughly the soldiermatter, whetherwasSong Dongmingto dispel doubt12?”宋洞明悚然一惊,喝了口绿蚁酒,这才说道:“两代藩王交替接班,北凉边军又不同于其它藩王军队,诸多桀骜难驯的功勋老将手握兵权,本该求稳防乱,为何还这般手段暴戾,以小见大,加上先前传闻,曾经一言不合便秘密杀死了怀化大将军钟洪武,就不怕引发哗变吗?徐公子,听你先前讲述狼烟缘由,显然是熟谙兵事的,可否为宋洞明解惑一二?”Xu Fengnianasked backwith a smile: „Doesn't a wordgather?”徐凤年笑着反问道:“一言不合?”Song Dongmingis intelligent, althoughcompletelyhas the probefrom the beginning, butalsoknows that saidcarelesslysomelaymanspoken languages, cannot pull out the expertexpertwords, looks serious and respectful saying: „In the Beiliangarmy the mountain topstands in great numbers, the newkinghigh-rank, onlypunishes one as a warning to others, otherwise the war, is hardwith the military exploitobedience.”宋洞明何等聪慧,虽然一开始尽是心存试探,但也知道胡乱说些门外汉言语,掏不出内行的行家话,敛容说道:“北凉军中山头林立,新王上位,唯有杀鸡儆猴,否则战事未起,难以用军功服众。”Xu Fengnianlistensthisearis drawing out the cocoongenerally speaking, without the conversationdesire, the planreturned to the Fuhorse caravan, mustprotectthemto arrive in the deep greencitycalmly and steadily, when the time comesnaturallycanhaveeliteto ride the teamto escortthat sideFengxiangin secret the newly discoveredmine.

ThereyourQingliang Mountain, as ifdid not speak the custom.”徐凤年听着这种耳朵起茧子的泛泛而谈,没了交谈欲望,就打算返回傅家马队,总得护着他们安稳到达青苍城,到时候自然会有精锐骑队暗中护送到凤翔那边新发现的矿山。若是对北凉劳苦功高的傅家得知北凉王亲自护驾,也不知会作何想,会不会觉得这么多年的辛苦付出物有所值。当然徐凤年也不会让他们得知真相,这也许正是讲求细处见功底的徐渭熊所不喜的地方,身为人主,却不肯于细处收买人心。宋洞明看到徐凤年有告辞离去的迹象,赶忙亡羊补牢,说道:“徐公子,听说你们北凉王府有两个年纪轻轻的幕僚,北莽北院大王的孙子徐北枳当上了陵州刺史,这是北凉王的用人不疑,而起用寒士陈锡亮,可算用人不论品第,很能为北凉招徕寒庶门户中的遗珠。大胆说一句,你们北凉道假使是自成一国,那么这两人板上钉钉是未来的宰辅人才,可自古庙堂重臣,皆是由公入私,即先以才学事功跻身朝堂中枢,进入帝王眼帘后,再得以走至帝王身侧。如此说来,你们清凉山那儿,似乎不太讲规矩。”
The Xu Fengniannodsaid: „Did not speak the custom, however, thismaking an exceptionpromoted, looked likeinMr.Song, advantageshow?”徐凤年点头道:“是不太讲规矩,不过话说回来,这种破格提拔,在宋先生看来,利弊如何?”Song Dongmingshows a faint smile, roughlyspoke of the matter of excelling, the whole personappears the gaseous stateimmediatelyrefined, tells, „in the short term, paying a thousand gold pieces just for the bones, naturallyis the good deed, especiallyhelpscomfortinggo to the coolscholars, Chen Xiliang that sinceeventhatbothimportant matterssuffer setbacksone after anotherhad not been punishedbyBeiliang Prince, ourthesescholarsread the poetry bookto be learnedfull, the family backgroundhas is not worse than thatChen Xiliang, how to be the senior official?”宋洞明微微一笑,约莫是说到了擅长之事,整个人顿时显得气态超俗,娓娓道来,“短期而言,千金买骨,自然是好事,尤其利于安抚赴凉士子,既然连那接连两件大事都受挫的陈锡亮都没有被北凉王责罚,那咱们这些读书人饱读诗书满腹经纶,出身比那陈锡亮只好不差,如何就做不得高官了?”Xu Fengnianbreaks the Song Dongmingspoken languagevery muchimmodestly, asked: „How did Mr.Songregard the Chen Xiliangclinging to tenaciouslydeep green? Thinks that Beiliang Princeiswhenpunishesordoes not work aspunish?”徐凤年很不客气地打断宋洞明言语,问道:“宋先生如何看待陈锡亮的死守青苍?以为那北凉王是当罚还是不当罚?”Thatbookchildhad looked that thissurnamed Xufellowis not pleasing to the eyes, oneselfmasterwhat kind ofvisiontalent, onJiangnan Circuit, even if the seventy years of ageChinesefamous litterateur, listens tomasterpreachingsolutionwriting, thatmustbe the appearance of listening in reverent attention, thisslowstrangeworthilyisBeiliangdomesticbarbarian, butis looking atlikely the scholar, the bearingknowledgein a complete mess, oneselfmasterisn'tthatlavishes praiseto lookto the blind person?

那书童早就看这姓徐的家伙不顺眼,自家老爷何等眼界才识,江南道上哪怕古稀之年的华族名士,听老爷讲经解文,那都得是洗耳恭听的模样,这徐奇不愧是北凉境内的蛮子,只是瞧着像读书人而已,气度学识都一塌糊涂,自家老爷的可不就是那抛媚眼给瞎子看?这书童正要出言教训那不识趣的家伙,被宋洞明不露声色地瞥了一眼,吓得最讲规矩的书童立即噤声,宋洞明继续说道:“对于陈锡亮,当赏罚并用。此人守城一役,看似糊涂,以至于北凉人人以为此子是志大才疏之辈,却不知北凉不缺甲士,不缺好刀大马,甚至不缺银子,唯独缺了两个字,民心。”Song Dongminglooksto the distant place, „popular sentimentthing, is the person in beneficial conditions of timeliness , favorable geographical conditions , and unity and coordination of the people and foundation, the danger of country, neverin the danger of mountains of placeadvantage, butassembles and partsin the will of the people.

自说自话的中年读书人神情肃穆,“如果陈锡亮当时选择了退却,不错,的确是给北凉王留下了城中的白马义从,可惜李义山当年的谋划,就全成了竹篮打水一场空。恩威并济,李义山驱逐流民不得返乡,常年调遣北凉甲士去杀人练兵,是施‘威’在前,陈锡亮不守青苍,城内城外的十数万流民当时可都盯着,徐凤年想要让这些流民为北凉死战?痴人说梦!北凉以为心思缜密的徐北枳远胜妇人之仁的陈锡亮多矣,哼,这才是真正的见识短浅!内圣外王,唯有为政以德,方能如天上北辰,居其所却有众星拱卫,才算真正的得道者多助。北凉空有军心而无民心,那么就算三十万甲士死绝,一样守不住离阳西北大门!那么当时仍是世子殿下的徐凤年在京城御道所言,要为中原百姓镇守国门,不受北莽马蹄祸乱。根本就是一句被人笑掉大牙的屁话!”NearbybookchildDengdaeyes, will the mild-mannered and cultivatedmasteralsosoalways have a big mouth?
