MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 43
Just like when they came, the army of black armor and white feathers was like a tide when they went.
At the same time, everyone in the Cheng residence was busy pouring fuel into the piles of firewood under their corpses, and they had to be cremated and put back separately. nibble. Shaoshang was listed at the top of the crowd, playing the flute to send these innocent creatures who were about to enter Huangquan.
The melodious sound of the flute was transmitted to the black armored army who had just started. The originally cheerful 'bamboo branch tune' was lowered by the girl and slowed down the rhythm, just like the wind passing through the bamboo forest under the cold winter sun, the coldness And sad.
Ling Budo smiled and listened attentively, but he didn't know what to think, his expression suddenly changed to very cold and self-loathing, like a handsome and proud rock sculpture in the shadow. Then he raised his whip high and rode away with his army.
After playing a song, Shaoshang put down the flute, and his face was full of tears. Many children and girls who were still laughing and laughing yesterday, their relatives and friends can no longer look forward to them. When things came to an end, she realized that she still had a lot of things she couldn't do.
The two surviving handmaids identified a total of eleven thieves who had murdered them from the captives. The young merchant sat in the room and listened to the crowd of melon eaters outside watching the dismemberment of five horses. , and then there was no surprise that there was a lot of dinner left over that night, especially those servants and maids who lived in the inner house all the year round, who were disgusted by the **** scenes and could hardly eat anything.
After the execution, Ling Budo immediately led the army to arrest the bandit leader, leaving 200 black armored troops to **** the Cheng family convoy to Huaxian County. .
Only then did Shao Shang know that his surname was Zhang Mingzhi. He had already obtained an official rank of hundreds of stones, and served as a general for Ling Busu. Liang Qiuqi is the brother of Liang Qiufei, the boy who likes to interject.
The next morning, Shaoshang put on men's clothes again and rode on his beloved cow-spotted pony.
Order to go. The young man swung down his right arm vigorously, swung the whip in the air, and the wheels of the wheels rolled slowly—she rode back on the horse and looked back, finally being able to leave this **** valley alive.
The convoy went all the way east, and this time there was no more harassment along the way. Shao Shang felt that even if there were small thieves who wanted to fight the autumn wind, he was scared back when he saw such a silent and solemn black armored army riding beside the convoy.
Sang's fever subsided after drinking the decoction, and gradually woke up. She looked at Shaoshang who came to visit apologetically: "I wanted to take you to relax and play around, but I didn't want to make you suffer. For such a big crime, it is better to stay in the capital..."
Shao Shang hurriedly told her to stop: "Auntie, don't say that! With my troublesome temperament, I can't stop everywhere, and I won't be pinched to death by my mother when I stay in the capital! My aunt is right to lead me out this time. I have seen so many great celebrities and traveled through so many interesting places. Now I have seen even the robbers and bandits. Blow it! I want to say that I am invincible with arrows, and it is true that I can shoot through two with one arrow. The thieves are invincible..." She pretended to threaten the servants and maids in the car again, "You are not allowed to expose me! "
Shao Shang did not stay in the car for much, and always drove back and forth in the team, not only to take care of whether the injured had fever and festering, but also to ask about the condition of the road ahead, and to take care of Cheng Wei With the twin boys... After only half a day, my whole body was stiff and sore. Fortunately, Zhang Jian was accompanied by the Li family and his son to chat, so she didn't have to bother to entertain.
When we were only half a day's journey away from Huaxian, I saw Uncle Pig's Trotter, who had been separated for several days, led a team of soldiers from Xieli to beat horses frantically. , Cheng Zhi, like a porcupine stepping on a fingerboard, pounced over with a loud bang, and hurriedly shouted, 'Where is your aunt, where is your aunt's wife, where is your wife...'
The young businessman sneered again and again. He wanted to run on the spot, but he saw his beard stubble, his clothes falling, his face yellow and skinny, and his hair was **** in a crooked way. Master Cheng became a Kong Yiji after two days of not seeing him.
Without waiting for the young merchant to open his mouth, the family general beside him had already pointed out the carriage where Sang was, and Cheng Zhi rushed over, crawling and crawling, and then came the uncle's cry from the carriage. And Sang's tears of joy.
Shao Shang suddenly felt that he was superfluous.
I asked Cheng Zhi's accompanying guards to find out that it turned out that the schedule was strange as soon as he entered the county seat of Qing County, because the county seat was fine except for the deserted people. When the senior brother was not there, the county magistrate asked three questions, and said that the magistrate Gongsun had led his troops to leave the county in a hurry three days ago.
The blunt Lord Xiao Cheng sat for more than an hour and finally waited for his brother to come back. Even if his head is not very bright, he immediately realized that it is more dangerous to have his wife and niece hanging out now.
In order to avoid taking advantage of the scattered bandits, the emperor has ordered officials from all over the city to guard the city and not to go out at will. People have fled to the hunting lodge for refuge.
Cheng Zhi led the team around like a headless flies for a few times. It was getting dark before he thought of going directly to Li Taigong Township to find someone, but when he arrived in the village, his filial son Li Wulang had already led him. Xiang Yong went to rescue his father overnight.
Cheng Zhi was so anxious, he only knew that his wife and his party had indeed encountered a bandit, and the rest of the village could not tell where his grandfather was hiding, so he couldn't wait even a moment to find someone. In the darkness and panic, the brigade plunged into a valley one by one, injuring 30% of the guards. Cheng Zhi was smarter this time. He found a local person as a guide. He searched for places where hunting houses might be built. By this morning, he finally found the right place.
Cheng Zhi passed out after making up his own mind. After being awakened by the guards splashing water, he persuaded him that everyone in Cheng Mansion had been rescued and left, so he chased after him all the way...
After listening to this piece of shit, Shao Shang was really angry. This year, the worse the brain, the luckier it is. The most itchy thing is that this uncle pig's trotter has been running around the mountains for days and nights, but he hasn't encountered a single thief!
To say, the third uncle Cheng Zhi is really a model person who has been lucky all the way from the womb.
Yuxue was born cute, exactly like a generation of beautiful man Cheng Taigong, all the brothers and sisters combined are not half as good as him, Cheng mother loves him to death, even if the family is difficult, she will not call him Eat a little bitter. Then, before the age of ten, the eldest brother started to gain momentum. Everyone in the village held Cheng Xiaogong's top quack, and Mrs. Xiao, who had been long-sleeved and good at dancing for a few years, joined a few famous families, and took Cheng Zhi to Bailu Mountain. Gold-plated study abroad.
Cheng Zhi, who was originally from a poor family background, could not avoid the cold-eyed ridicule of his classmates on the mountain. Who knew that when he met Senior Brother Yan Gong, he felt sorry for him when he was young, handsome and innocent, and covered him all the way until he graduated and became an official (less Shang finally found out that this is a serious age). In the chaotic world outside, with beacon fires raging in the sky, Cheng Zhi happily studied and studied in the mountains where there was no competition with the world.
Shao Shang finally knew why he always looked down on his uncle for some reason. As a child with bad luck since childhood, seeing Cheng Zhi like this, can he not be jealous? !
After chatting with the Sang family for half an hour, Cheng Zhi came out to thank Zhang Shan and the Li family father and son a thousand times over. Cheng Zhi turned his panic and panic into gratitude and poured all of them onto the Li family and his son, and he was about to marry their children on the spot.
Cheng Zhi said: The old man has a claim to his eldest daughter Cheng Ni, but the twin sons are still bachelors! The skin looks good and the muscles and bones are strong. Would you like to pick one?
Li Taigong thought that although the Cheng family was a new family, but seeing the trend of prosperity, he readily agreed. In order to show sincerity, Li Taigong revealed his family background and said: Although I only have grandson and no granddaughter now, and the two newly pregnant brides look like they are male, but have you seen my family Wulang? The little girl secretly pulled her little hand and kissed her little mouth as if I didn’t know it, so I went to propose a kiss when I came back, and they worked hard for the past two years to get it soon!
Li Wulang: Father…Please watch sauce…
Cheng Zhi also thought that the Li family was also worried, so he warmly advised the father and son to return home as soon as possible. Anyway, now the Cheng family will add the guards borrowed by the senior brothers to protect themselves. Hua County is enough. Father and son readily agreed.
However, the time to persuade the Black Armored Army to kick back has hit an iron plate. Zhang Qian said that "the military order must not be violated", and the mission can only be completed if he sees them enter Huaxian County with his own eyes.
So, for the next half day, Cheng Zhi never got out of Sang's carriage, and even Ah Li and others were driven out.
He also honestly continued to temporarily lead the team on behalf of the owner.
Arriving in front of the Huaxian city gate, Zhang Qian stepped forward to say goodbye, and resolutely thanked Shao Shang for the two boxes of gold ingots found in his uncle's box and cage, and said: "If you want to be kind Thank you, you might as well thank my young master in person in the coming day."
Shao Shang smiled stiffly on his cheeks: "Exactly, exactly..." There are two problems here. First, holding two boxes of gold to reward Ling Budo, she didn't even dare to think about such a terrifying act. Second, she really hoped not to see Ling Budo again.
Cheng Zhi has been stationed in Hua County for many years.
As the city gate slowly opened, the eyes were filled with white peas. Pedestrians on the road wore sackcloth and filial piety. "Lord Xiaocheng, you are finally back..."
No matter how sluggish the young businessman was, he could sense something was wrong, so he quickly pulled out the uncle who was still in the car.
Cheng Zhi stood at the gate of the city, staring blankly at the people in filial attire, and there were even coffins on the street. He was dazed for a moment, then woke up and told his wife to walk slowly.
Many white evocative streamers fluttered in the wind like snow.
Both of you are stupid.
Cheng Zhi thought: It's broken, because I came out to find someone in a hurry, I didn't ask my brother how Huaxian was.
Shao Shangxiang: Didn't Ling Budo say that Huaxian is safe, is he also a liar? !
When the clerk came out and saw Cheng Zhi, he immediately fell to his knees and wept bitterly, repeating the same sentence: "Master Xiao Cheng, you are finally here, here..." The last sentence, "Old Master Cheng passed away...!"
Cheng Zhi's eyes darkened, his body swayed, he was about to faint, Shaoshang hurried to support this unreliable uncle. Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhi refused to be helped by her, and he refused to get up on the steps of the Fuxian government office, so he burst into tears.
The county magistrate of Hua County is also surnamed Cheng, but unlike the few merchants, they are from a wealthy family in Henan. Cheng county magistrate is nearly 60 years old, and he is a gentle and elegant person. He is not so much a bureaucrat, but more like a kind master who is reluctant to punish students.
Co-workers for several years, Mr. Cheng is always on the go, this subordinate with the same surname is like a relative, and the daily official business is even more hands-on teaching. In fact, the old county magistrate has always been in poor health. If it weren't for the fact that the children of the Cheng family had suffered too many damages in the turbulent times, and now that the family is not accepted in the official circles, he would not have to be called to work at a young age.
At this time, Cheng Zhi would laugh at the side and say: You have said this eighteen times, at any rate, after a few more years, a powerful county magistrate will come back, I can't bear it!
Three days ago, the rebels suddenly attacked, the emperor's station was well prepared, and it was not affected. And go. One of the extremely ferocious bandits rushed to the neighboring and prosperous Hua County.
In the years of peace, many people have let go of their vigilance. Finally, the old Cheng county magistrate responded quickly and hurriedly closed the gates of the city, and ordered soldiers and strong men in the city to come to help defend the city. Although there are not many defenders in Huaxian County, it is fortunate that the repair of the city defense in the past few years is very stable, and the bandits cannot break through it for a while. The people in the city were protected by a thick city wall, but the people in the countryside outside the city were not. Unprepared, two villages around the county town suffered heavy casualties.
Therefore, the most common and tragic scene in ancient war history appeared in the form of N times.
Show it to everyone at the city gate.
In the city are the people under the rule of the old master Cheng, as well as in several villages outside the city, I have not forgotten them when collecting taxes and apportioning corvée, how can I abandon them at this time. The county magistrate of Laocheng bid farewell to his old wife and young grandson (the son died early), and led his generals and half of his soldiers, plus the volunteers in the city, and went out to fight.
Before they left, the white-haired old man sternly ordered the city gate officials to lower the bolts after they left and weld them to death with copper juice.
Actually, everyone knows that there is a huge disparity between the enemy and the enemy. How can they kill the bandits? The old county magistrate also knows that he just wants to kill the bandit army, so that the people who have been captured run away. After half a day of fighting, the people who were kidnapped escaped, but more than half of the teams in the city were killed or injured.
The emperor's Hu Ben was divided into several teams to suppress the bandits. Two of them came to Huaxian after hearing the news. After killing most of the bandits, the rest of the bandits fled. When everyone on the city gate saw this, they cried and smashed the welded gate bolt, but they couldn't find the figure of the old county magistrate. After checking the battlefield, they found the corpse of the old man missing one arm.
Sang Shi heard the news, staggered to the county office regardless of the leg injury, knelt before the spirit of the old Lord Cheng and cried bitterly; Cheng Zhi had changed into plain clothes, and the tears were tied on his face by the cold wind , insisting on keeping the spirit of this old man who is like a parent. Tears welled in Shaoshang's eyes, and he consciously went outside to find a white cloth to wrap around his waist, and knelt before the spirit together.
Amid the hoarse cries of the whole house, Madam Cheng, who was covered in veil, smiled slightly and said to Cheng Zhi, "If we can avoid the troubled times and live to this age, we are not wronged. My son died early, and the adults have long regarded you as a relative, so you should accompany him for three days in front of the spirit. After three days, you can no longer act like a child. "
Cheng Zhi cried hoarsely, he could no longer speak, and after a long while, he nodded numbly.
The old lady turned to Sang again, and said warmly: "He and I have both gray hair, and it is considered that we have grown old together. I hope that you and Zirong will have the same luck as us in the future, and our love will last forever. You are injured, don't challenge yourself like this." After speaking, he asked the maid beside him to support Sang Shi to recuperate.
When staying overnight at the back house of the county government, Shao Shang squatted beside the bed to change the dressing for Sang's family, and couldn't help saying: "The old county magistrate is so old, why should he go out of the city for insurance? Wouldn’t it be okay to ask the generals and the city gate officers to go there? Isn’t that the same as doing his duty? He is so old, I don’t think Your Majesty will blame him.”
"This is not for the emperor." Sang's crying eyes were red, and after a long while, he said solemnly, "Your Majesty will not blame, but all the families and clans are watching, and the eyes are clear. Without this ambition, how can the children of the Cheng family in Henan have the face to enter the court and compete for office?"
Seeing that the young businessman was frightened and dared not speak, Sang Shi felt that his tone was too heavy, stroked the girl's hair, and said warmly: "We come from a wealthy family, so we should be better than the common people. Go to battle first, and be the first to die, otherwise, why should you be in a high position and be supported by the common people. If you only want to be complete, how can you be worthy of the tombs of your ancestors!”
Shao Shang murmured a few times: "...Our Cheng family is not a noble family yet."
Sang smirked: "Maybe it will be in the future. From the generation of your grandfather and uncle, every generation of children and grandchildren have been brave and diligent. After we die, we will be in the ancestral hall. A high tablet will be erected on it, which will be admired by future generations and will last forever. Mr. Cheng died to save the people and sacrificed his life for righteousness. He is also a great man. This is the right place to die."
Young businessman is speechless.
In her era, there were many works that criticized how the aristocratic families were pedantic, how they delayed the times, and how they compromised and appeased peacefully. One of the achievements of many emperors is to destroy the power of the aristocratic family and the power of the noble family.
But the children of noble families in this era are still full of blood, swords are on the side, I travel alone in the sea and snow.
At the same time, she also realized for the first time what a family is. If she is sheltered by the Cheng family and enjoys this comfort food and clothing, then even if she can't bring glory to the Cheng family, she must never discredit the family. Such as wanton indulgence, surrender to the enemy and treason or something.
She sighed, it's not easy to live well in this era.
The author has something to say: Regarding the family issue, I actually wanted to say it a long time ago.
Historical development is a step-by-step process. If the people's wisdom has not been developed and the productive forces have not exploded, it is impossible for you to establish a modern system in a primitive society.
For modern society, feudal monarchy is naturally decadent and backward, but for primitive tribal clans, feudal monarchy is simply advanced.
Similarly, the aristocratic family, as a historical product, also has a process of rise, development, prosperity, prosperity and decline, and survival. I don't think it is right to criticize the family regardless of age.
Therefore, I reject all persuasion to whitewash the Sima Jin Dynasty. According to my shallow historical knowledge, the children of the aristocratic families before the Sima Jin Dynasty are still ardent, they are either advisers or generals , even if they are violent and evil, kill people like numbness, and do not distinguish between right and wrong, they are all vying to be at the forefront of the times, and their temperament is masculine and enthusiastic.
But what happened to the descendants of the family from the beginning of the two Jin Dynasties, smearing grease and powder, taking drugs and wearing women's clothes, the southern part of the Pian An Nan started from them!
The watershed is the Sima family! The Sima Clan completely slaughtered the blood of the only remaining children of the noble family.
About Sima Yi, I really don't think he is a hero. In my opinion, his greatest strength is longevity. He has not only survived the three generations of Boss Cao's descendants, but even survived all the great powers of the year. The strategist.
Wait until all the heroes of the time were all dead, could he not be able to come forward?
The Sima family came to the top, not like Boss Cao with an absolute advantage, leaving others speechless, but the opponent was a politically immature son like Cao Zhen. At that time, the advisors advised Cao Zhen to directly confront Sima and his son You're welcome, the Sima family can't resist, but Cao Zhen is hesitant.
So Sima Yi took the lead and the mutiny succeeded.
It is a thief to be old and not die!
!
—The above is my humble opinion, everyone has different opinions, even if you say it, but don’t attack personally, don’t go down the road, thank you.
