Chapter 241 Adoptive Father
The spring breeze blows, and the branches of the willow trees sway with the spring breeze, and the rustling sound echoes in my ears, clear and empty.
It has been a long time since Wang Yi felt such a peaceful feeling, which is so good.
I just thought that I was in that valley, lying carefree beside the old man. He was fishing and he was looking at the blue sky.
After a long time, the old man asked Wang Yi the first question.
"Are you from the court?"
Wang Yi was stunned at first, then looked at the Xiuchundao beside the old man. Wang Yi, who didn't want to tell his true identity, nodded.
"Um."
The old man took a puff of the cigarette and said, "How is the court now?"
Wang Yi didn't know how to answer. His identity was originally to be kept confidential. It was already the limit to being able to admit that he was a person from the court. According to the regulations of the Jinyiwei, those who exposed their identity either killed those who knew their identity or committed suicide.
It is impossible for you to expose your identity if you die.
How is the court like, what is the world like, and what does it have to do with the old man? It was because of King Liang, and it was not because your court had kind hearts.
The old man looked at Wang Yi, and the cigarette rod in his hand burned rapidly. The sound of fire spreading through the tobacco kept ringing. The old man and Wang Yi both remained silent.
The old man was recalling the past, while Wang Yi was nervous.
He just asked himself the question, what was going on? According to the regulations of the Jinyiwei, he could only kill the old man. Wang Yi was a little worried.
Kill the old man?
Since he was caught by the old man last time he ran away, he has lost this intention. Wang Yi has never been a submissive person. He killed someone back then, without any mercy.
But Wang Yi is not ignorant. Facing such a hermit master, he looks like an old man, but in fact he is a master. Wang Yi has no intention of resisting.
Having seen Jia Xu's methods, although I don't know if the old man can compare with Jia Xu, Wang Yi knew that he was no match for him no matter what.
In this way, two people, one smoking a cigarette pole, the other squatting there, staring at their embroidered spring sword and long sword at all times.
The thousand-year-old willow trees sway with the spring breeze, worry-free.
But the two people under the tree each have their own thoughts.
"Take it, from tomorrow, you will be responsible for cleaning the leaves that fall from the willow tree."
After smoking the cigarette pole, the old man slowly stood up and threw the embroidered spring sword and the long sword to Wang Yi, leaving here and walking towards the path when Wang Yi came.
Is this okay?
Wang Yi always felt unreal when he looked at the embroidered spring sword and long sword on his legs.
Although I don’t know the old man’s attitude towards the Jinyiwei, the old man was able to ask “How is the current court?”. Such words are probably a story with the court.
Moreover, there are many stories.
After thinking for a while, Wang Yi couldn't figure out the old man's intention. He shook his head. Since he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it anymore.
I looked up and looked around. The sun had reached the horizon without realizing it.
Wang Yi raised his right hand to block the light from the sun. It was already March.
At the border between Liangzhou and Youzhou, a team of people appeared at the foot of a mountain. There were not many people, only a hundred riders, but they were all well-equipped, and their heavy armor shone brightly under the sunset.
In front of the cavalry, there was an old man not wearing armor, but wearing silk. The horses under him were all red, which looked like a sweat-blooded BMW that only appeared in the legendary Northern Qi Dynasty. The old man was a little thin, and the rosy on his face fell into the eyes of the old man's guard beside him, which made the guard breathe a sigh of relief.
"Prince, General Zhao has been away from Qingshan City for a long time, and now he should have arrived in a small town not far away."
Riding a sweat-blooded BMW, the old man nodded softly, and the brocade hat on his head was taken off by the old man and kept it in his hand.
Suddenly, the cavalry behind him stopped at the same time.
The old man turned over and got off the horse, handed the horse to his personal guard, and found a big stone alone and sat on it.
The guard behind him wanted to lay a mat for the old man, but was rejected by the old man.
"No, I am not old enough to this level."
The guard stood beside the old man in a little embarrassed. When he heard the explanation before leaving, the lady took advantage of her courage and advised: "Prince, although it is March, the weather is still a little cool."
The old man laughed and knew that the guard who had followed him for many years was also kind. "No need, Zhao An is about to arrive, so he should pick it up immediately on the bed, there is no need."
The guard had no choice but to give up and put away the mat.
A man with a big waist and round waist stood by the old man after feeding his horses, "Entertainment Father, you are so nice to Zhao An, I'm a little reluctant."
The old man laughed, "Yuxian, you are so old, you are so jealous. An'er is going to compete with Gu Kaizhi for a lifetime."
This man named Yao Yuxian is one of the old man’s four adopted sons. Like Zhao An, they are all the flesh of the old man’s heart.
The old man is called Li Cheng.
The old man is King Liang.
The only old man who is of the same generation as Emperor Taizong in terms of generation.
It is also the existence that destroyed a country and was named king in the Spring and Autumn Period.
However, the King of Liang was still young at that time, like an eagle, calling the wind and rain in the Ming Dynasty.
Nowadays, King Liang is old, and he can't be old anymore. He is like a sick tiger, but he is old but has a momentum.
Perhaps because he had been sitting on the stone for a long time, the old man stretched out his legs and said to Yao Yuxian beside him: "Yuxian, do you think Zhao An will come here this time?"
Yao Yuxian next to the old man smiled and his huge body squatted beside the old man. He frowned and looked at the armor on his body, a little awkward.
"I don't know, his kid is so powerful, he can't die anyway."
Yao Yuxian actually has a good official position in Liangzhou. He has a deputy commander of the infantry in Liangzhou. He has an army of 200,000, even higher than Zhao An's cavalry commander.
But these are not the key to the famous Yao Yuxian in the Ming Dynasty and Northern Qi.
If the King of Qi was the military god of the Ming Dynasty, then this Yao Yuxian was the most strange one in the Ming Dynasty. When King Liang first arrived in Liangzhou, Northern Qi was not afraid of this prince who destroyed a country.
Because King Liang was not famous at that time, he only made his mark in the later Spring and Autumn Wars.
So in this way, the Northern Qi began to send cavalry to constantly harass the border of Liangzhou. First, there were small groups of cavalry, and they ran away after fighting, which made the generals under the King of Liang very angry. These people were used to the fighting method of fighting on the Central Plains, but when they encountered such small groups of cavalry from Northern Qi, there was no way.
Although these cavalry have no impact on the overall situation of Liangzhou, they can disgust these Liangzhou troops that have been fighting for many years.
Everyone was at a loss, and in the end they had no choice but to report it to King Liang.
King Liang just smiled slightly at that time and issued an order to ask Yao Yuxian, who was still feeding horses among the border troops at that time, to go to the infantry to serve as deputy commander.
But no one wants to do it. Although a boy feeding horses has a huge and round waist, such an unknown junior stood on the head of the old man who fought against the world with King Liang, no one wants to do it.
During that time, all the documents against Yao Yuxian were piled up in the Liang Palace. After reading the documents, the old man smiled without saying a word, but just suppressed the matter.
Then Yao Yuxian used a big victory to shut up those who opposed him.
In response to these small groups of cavalry, Yao Yuxian went to find Zhao, who had been in charge of the cavalry for many years at that time.
An took away more than a hundred cavalry and then broke up the cavalry. Each of them led a large number of infantry, every mountain and every city in Liangzhou were the strongholds, and the cavalry was the first to intersperse these cities.
Start casting the net.
He directly captured all the Northern Qi cavalry who harassed Liangzhou.
Northern Qi was furious and directly sent a hundred thousand troops to the border between Liangzhou and Northern Qi, hoping to take advantage of the fact that King Liang had not yet gained a foothold and beat him up.
But when the 100,000 troops of Northern Qi arrived on the Qingling Plain north of Liangzhou, those who were waiting for them were Yao Yuxian and the 50,000 troops.
During that battle, most of the troops in Liangzhou were deployed on the border and stationed in every border city. The only one who could leave Yao Yuxian was the only army of 50,000 pieces of death row prisoners.
No one could rescue him, because at that time, the Northern Qi Dynasty secretly sent more troops to launch an attack on Liangzhou, and there were wars everywhere.
It can be said that if Yao Yuxian loses, it will be difficult to commit suicide.
Yao Yuxian won, but no one knew why Yao Yuxian won, but he knew that he had won, and those death row prisoners became his personal army.
When Yao Yuxian went to war, Li Cheng, who was not so old at that time, personally said guiltily for the adopted son who was pinned to the border army by himself: "Yuxian, at least he has left a complete body, and his adoptive father can still send you."
Yao Yuxian just nodded and didn't say anything.
Yao Yuxian squatted on the ground, looking at her adopted father's hunchbacked figure, she felt a little uncomfortable. If that hadn't happened back then, would she have to have a nephew called her uncle?
"Don't worry, adoptive father, there are not many people who can kill Zhao An in the world."
The old man heard Yao Yuxian comforting her words and sighed slightly. It was not good to lose his own daughter, and he didn't want to try the second time.
"Don't worry, my adoptive father, but I can't help but worry. This time I went out, the eldest brother was in the west and fought with the Western Regions. The second brother was at Shanshuilang's side a few days ago. The news came from the north Qi Dynasty. This time we ate Youzhou and Qingzhou of the Ming Dynasty, and the court was full of controversy."
Yao Yuxian spat, "Damn it, those who stand in the court will not hurt their backs when they stand."
The old man smiled, "No obstacle, Jade Fairy. As long as I am still alive, they can only talk and disgust me."
Yao Yuxian took off the long sword on his waist and put it aside, looking a little impatient, "As sooner or later, I will use this knife to cut off their heads."
The old man was standing there, so he would not say such almost rebellious words. The old man patted Yao Yuxian on the shoulder and said nothing.
This trip was a bit hasty because the old man learned from Shanshuilang that Gu Kaizhi didn't know why he came to Zhao An to compete first.
This made the old man a little worried. He completely ignored his second daughter's persuasion and obstruction and insisted on bringing his personal guards to come here and waiting for Zhao An.
The old man's second daughter had no choice but to come to Yao Yuxian and accompany the old man here.
After talking for a long time, the old man was a little thirsty. He took the water bag from his guard's hand and took a sip.
Then the old man smiled.
In the horizon, one man and one rider appeared, standing on the same border as Sunset.
The man saw the Liang-character King Flag in the distance, accompanied by the rustling spring breeze, speeding up and coming here soon.
He turned over and dismounted, and came to the old man in white clothes, "Entertainment Father."
The old man threw the water bag to his guard, slowly got up, put his sleeves in his hands, and looked at Zhao An, who had an unstable breath in front of him, and finally put down the stone in his heart.
"fine?"
Zhao An looked at his adoptive father and nodded, "Why don't you wait for me in the palace? It's windy here and you're prone to illness."
