Chapter 176: Toast to the grave
In fact, not only men can take the word "大" but women also have the word "大".
A man has a 20-year-old character and a woman has a 15-year-old character. The so-called "Waiting" in the boudoir means that after taking the character, a woman has already grown up and can get married. Before taking the character, she is underage and cannot get married, so she has to stay in the boudoir.
However, when a woman is allowed to marry, the composition is different from that of a man. Generally, she uses a ranking character or a surname as a preface. For example, Zhou Shuning, her future preface character may be "Nu Zhou", "Nu Shu", or "Hui Zhou". As far as Li Xuandu knows, the same is true for Yu Qingning's preface character, but the same pronunciation is different, and she took a clever way, and replaced the character "Yu" with the character "Wan", which is "Nu Wan". However, Su Yun's preface character is different from them, and is no different from the character "Men" to express her virtue.
When Li Xuan heard Su Yun's face name "Aiyun", he remembered the woman who had beaten herself half-dead, the ugly woman who rode a donkey, as well as the palace official, Yu Qingning and others. He had to sigh that there are too many outstanding women in this world now, with yin and yang falling, and men are inevitably pale in comparison.
He quickly shook his head, dispelled these distracting thoughts, and returned to the topic, "I talked about Jian Xiushan before, and today I want to say something to Brother Xuanji. I want to go to Jian Xiushan and his party. I wonder if Brother Xuanji agrees?"
If they follow the original itinerary, they should go directly to Longmen Mansion. If they go to Jianxiu Mountain again, they will inevitably have to take a detour. Fortunately, Jianxiu Mountain is also in Zhongzhou, and the journey is not too far, so it will not take too much time.
Yan Feiqing had no objection to this, and it only took more than ten days to stay and did not affect the overall situation.
Downstairs, Zhang Nanmu and his group of Qingluan Guards had already left the inn. Not far away, they met an informant who came to report the news. They said that there seemed to be a fight between the people from the east city wall. Zhang Nanmu immediately took people there.
After arriving, the place had been blocked by the defenders of the city, but after Zhang Nanmu showed the token of Qingluan Guard, no one dared to block the way.
Zhang Nanmu looked at the human-shaped pit on the city wall and the Chiyu city wall that seemed to disappear out of thin air, and his body was a little stiff.
Although his realm is not very high, his vision is not low. A person who can have such a method is at least a master of the innate realm. In one mansion, there are few opponents. If there are a large group of people from the Qingluan Guard here, it is not difficult to surround and kill an innate realm master with various bows, crossbows and arrows. The key is that what you lack the most now is manpower. The people from each ward have been sent out. It can be said that the Tiqi is four times, and Zhang Nanmu has only these people around him. If he really meets one or two innate realm masters, let alone a siege and kill, it is probably difficult to even protect himself.
Zhang Nanmu asked the trepidated city guard general: "Have you ever seen clearly the person who was fighting?"
The so-called generals and officials of the city guard are just garrisons of the fifth rank. Not to mention that Qingluan Guard is innately superior to others. Just from his own official position, Zhang Nanmu, the commander of Qingluan Guard, is also a higher official position. In addition, Qingluan Guard is notorious, so this garrison master will inevitably be intimidated and trembled: "Report to the best, I heard from the people below that, it seems to be a woman with a veil."
Zhang Nanmu's pupils shrank, and he immediately thought of the woman with a hat he had just seen in the inn.
The Qingluan Guard commander murmured: "The person who comes is not good, and the good person does not come. This matter must be reported to Lord Gu immediately."
A Qingluanwei behind him whispered, "Did you report it truthfully?"
Zhang Nanmu said in a deep voice: "No word is missing, report it to Lord Gu in truth!"
Qingluanwei, who was behind him, immediately responded to the promise and left.
Zhang Nanmu's face was gloomy and said to the city's garrison: "You immediately order the four gates to be blocked and strictly checked passers-by. Don't let a suspicious person go!"
The garrison suddenly looked puzzled, "The emperor, although the humble position is the garrison in the city and the responsibility of guarding the access control of the city, the civil officials and military generals are the system of our Great Wei ancestral system, so it is necessary to block the four gates by the prefect."
Zhang Nanmu glanced at him and said coldly: "I will go there in person to tell you, just act according to your will."
"But...but" the guard opened his mouth and hesitated: "As far as we are concerned, we can't stop that, such a master."
Of course, Zhang Nanmu knew that the guard was telling the truth, but some things must not be said in public, so he immediately asked, "Why, are you afraid of death?"
Cold sweat suddenly oozed from the guard's forehead, and his waist, which was not straight, bent even lower, shook his head and said, "I don't dare to do it. I am just afraid of missing a job."
"If you do your job well, you won't be able to miss your job!" Zhang Nanmu snorted coldly and turned around and left.
It was not until Zhang Nanmu was completely gone that the guard slowly straightened his waist, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then turned around and looked at the soldiers, changed color, and said sternly: "Closing the four doors immediately, don't let a suspicious person go. If anyone misleads the matter for me, don't blame me for turning against others!"
The soldiers immediately agreed in unison and scattered.
Next, both the job-working people and ordinary people are inevitably flirting with each other.
As the night became darker, a woman wearing a curtained hat appeared on the top of the city again, guarding the void in the air, allowing the night wind to blow on her clothes. A bright moon behind her looked like a fairy in the Moon Palace.
She looked down at the four brightly lit city gates. The white gauze of the curtains was blown up by the night wind, and she could vaguely see a delicate chin and a tightly pursed lips.
After she took the initiative to teach Li Xuandu a lesson, she did not leave Beiyang Prefecture, but continued to walk around the city walls. Not only did she see all the four gates in all directions, but she also looked at all the big and small cities.
This is not the first city she has walked through, nor is it the last city she stopped. As long as she travels along the way, as long as it is a place that military strategists must fight for, no matter how big or small, she will walk on it. After all, hearing is better than seeing it at once. No matter how much you see on the map or how detailed you hear others, it is better to walk on it yourself and then take a look at it yourself.
This is also one of the rules she set for her trip.
However, this city was indeed a little different for her, because she had been here with another person back then, and she was a very important person to her.
In the night, the woman stretched out her white palm, gently stroked her temples, and murmured to herself: "You and I came to the poor and white northwest frontier together. You said that you should be the invincible number one person in the world, and you should also be the lord of the world who is invincible. Let Zheng Yiqing stop his hand and make the Xu family of the Great Wei scared. You laughed at me for being too small and unable to do a big thing, so you obediently follow you, watching how you reached the top of the temple and the world at the same time, and to do the feat that is unprecedented."
"I was young and ignorant at that time, and I really believed your words. But now I look at it, what's wrong? I did what you didn't do. Even if the woman Xie Zhi saw me, she wouldn't dare to say no to me in person. At most, she would complain a few words behind her back. But what about you, your own sword has become someone else's things, what are you left?"
"If you want to be the number one person in the world, I have no objection. If you want to be the co-lord of the world, I have no objection, but if you want to take both, some people will be dissatisfied. I have no objection, but others have opinions, so I can't tolerate you."
"I thought I could persuade you and let you choose one of the two, but why would you just not listen to others? If you insist on doing it alone, you will destroy yourself. Why do you have to end up with such a field today?"
The woman sighed softly, and the sound soon dissipated with the night wind.
She took out a jasper gourd from the Sumeru treasure, pulled out the plug, and immediately a strong aroma of wine came out.
The woman turned her wrist and the mouth of the gourd was facing down. The wine poured out and splashed like rain.
The woman looked at the bright moon in the sky and smiled and said, "There is nothing else to say when you are traveling to the old place and thinking about the old people. After all, in the northwest, everything you want to say was clearly stated, and it also makes it clear. Now, no matter whether you are dead or alive, this pot of wine is to toast you to the grave."
