Yejing teahouse's business is very good these days. The lower part is full of guests. The upper part says that Mr. Shu's saliva is flying and his mouth is almost bald.

Seeing that the new scene was full, Mr. Shuoshu knocked his fan on the table and said, "but at sunset that day, people came and went on Yongle street, and a tall horse came slowly from a distance. There are two people sitting at once, one is tall and powerful, the other is slim and handsome, and looks better than pan an.... "

Mr. Shuoshu unfolded his folding fan: "guess who?"

"It's the king of Northern War and his newly married Princess!"

"The princess of the Northern War is amazing, but a man's body is three points more beautiful than a woman's, handsome and charming! As soon as the king of Northern War saw him, he was hooked and vowed to marry him back. But the princess is a man after all. There is no reason why she is willing to follow... "

The storyteller was spitting, but someone was dissatisfied with him and muttered: "this storyteller's story making is too ridiculous. Didn't the princess of the Northern War die long ago? It's said that on the second day of their marriage, they were quietly pulled out of the city and buried! "

"Where are you going to hear the news? It's unbelievable The people next to him couldn't hear it any more. He said: "the day before yesterday, the king of Northern War took the princess to Sanwei Zhai. It's said that the princess loves plum blossom cakes, and the Lord specially took him to buy them. "

"That's it." A nearby aunt echoed: "the plum blossom cakes of Sanwei Zhai are crazy these days. They all say that they will be as beautiful as the princess. If I can't get them, I want to buy some."

Next to someone joked: "aunt, you are this age, still want to sprout?"

Aunt "bah", spat: "what did I eat? It's for my daughter! "

The man who asked the question before was stunned by several people, and then he went back to see Mr. Shuoshu. But Mr. Shuoshu had already said that because the princess refused to follow him, the king of Northern War was angry and took him to the palace to be a forbidden man

Man: --

Although the story is absurd, the tea guests are very interested in it. As the new year draws near, everyone is free, so they like to hear something new and interesting. The story of the Northern Warlord robbing his concubine, abusing his body and heart, and finally getting married is much more interesting than the story of the Northern Warlord's house where several servants died today.

As Mr. Shuoshu talked more and more absurdly, a young man in blue sitting at the back got up and went out, and the two men in grey behind him also left.

Out of the teahouse, wearing gray clothes way: "this story is too far."

"But it's true that two people ride the same horse back to the mansion. You say Second, do you really like that bastard, or are you acting for us? "

The man in grey hesitated for a moment: "I'm afraid there are more plays. I've never heard of the Northern Warlord before. And his temperament You don't know either. "

"That's right." The young master in blue nodded with approval: "is it a play When I go back, I'll ask my mother to announce him to the palace

The young master in blue sneered: "although he has no qualification for succession, he has to guard against it."

After all, several princes in this palace, including him, have no military power. Although they all acquiesced that he could not inherit the grand unification, were there few cases of forcing the palace and seizing the throne in the previous dynasty?

The young master in blue covered his eyes and said, "go back to the palace."

***

but at the end of Beizhan palace, the princess of Beizhan has been having a headache recently.

Since the last time Xiao Zhige went to settle down to meet him and called his nickname once, he would never change his words.

It is clear that such a powerful and tough general is always calling his soft name. When an Changqing looks at his cold, expressionless face and listens to him call himself "here you are", he feels numb from hair to toes.

But no matter what he implies, men just don't change.

Several times later, an Changqing finally compromised and went with him. It's just that I'm not used to it now. Every time a man calls, he will turn red and hot. In the end, I had no choice but to hide from Xiao Zhige.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhige had to go to the camp outside the city every day to train his troops. He was busy choosing Chuang Tzu himself, and he had a rest early in the evening. This did not force him to drive the Northern Warlord to his study to sleep.

This day, an Changqing is telling an Fu to prepare a carriage. He wants to go out of the city.

After several days of searching, he finally found a suitable Chuang Tzu, just outside the city at the foot of Qingyun Mountain. The environment is quiet, and there are hot springs on Chuang Tzu, which is very suitable for recuperation. An Changqing is going to have a look in person. If it is suitable, he will buy it as soon as possible.

"Going out?" When Xiao Zhige was about to go out, he asked.

"Well, go to Qingyun Mountain to see Chuang Tzu."

Xiao Zhige took back his feet, sat down on one side and said, "let's go together, by the way."

An Changqing was surprised: "Wang Ye is going to Qingyun Mountain today?"

Xiao Zhige: No

An Changqing looks at him suspiciously and doesn't know which way he's going. Qingyun Mountain goes out of the gate to the south, and Daying goes out of the gate to the north. However, Xiao Zhige was sitting in a critical position, and his expression seemed beyond doubt. An Changqing thought that he might have something else, so he didn't ask much.After a while, Anfu prepared the carriage, and an Changqing and Xiao Zhige went out together.

Xiao Zhige glanced at the carriage, quietly pursed his lips and looked at an Changqing: "riding?"

An Changqing blinked and looked at the only horse he was riding. He suddenly understood what he meant and glared at him angrily: "I'm in a carriage!" Then he stepped on the horse stool and got into the car.

He also remembered that after the last ride back to the mansion, he suddenly had a lot of feuds! He doesn't want to be seen as strange again.

Riding alone on one side of the king's lips quietly collapsed, with no expression on the horse with the side of the carriage.

The carriage passed the official road, went out of the gate, and was about to turn left to the south when a group of people ran out of the road ahead. Running in front of a tall, thin boy, behind a group of farmers dressed people, each holding a stick hoe, yelling.

The young man was exhausted. He staggered forward for two steps and fell down on the side of the road. The people behind him Hula around and punched and kicked him.

Seeing that these people were going to kill the boy, Xiao Zhige immediately stopped: "stop it!"

When a group of farmers saw his fierce face, they instinctively felt a little afraid. When they saw that the young man fell on the ground and did not move, they were afraid of causing a lawsuit for human life. They yelled, "he is a thief" and all of them broke up.

Xiao Zhige didn't chase him either. He looked at the boy condescensively and left him the kettle and the medicine for the sore. Then he rode back and said to the coachman, "let's go."

"Is it all right to let him lie there?" An Changqing lifted the curtain and asked.

Xiao Zhige said, "I can't die."

An Changqing hesitated to see the young man lying on the ground motionless. His hands and feet were full of scars and frostbite. He was hesitating. The carriage had moved again. An Changqing looked through the window and saw that the young man had struggled to think of it. He called "Niang" in a low voice.

His heart suddenly softened, he stopped the carriage and looked at Xiao Zhige: "why don't we take him back..."

"He looked at me as a child..." An Changqing said casually: "at least send him to see a doctor."

When Xiao Zhige saw him frowning, he seemed to be afraid that he would not agree with him. He was still trying to think about the appearance of the speech. His cold and hard expression unconsciously softened and said to Zhao Shi, "bring people here."

Zhao Shi glanced at him, then looked at an Changqing with a happy face. He thought that doctor Hu was right. The prince only listened to the princess now. When have you seen them before?

When the boy was carried by Zhao Shi, an Changqing saw that he was shivering and asked Zhao Shi to put him in the carriage. Keep your soup warm for him. There was no village before, no shop behind, and no doctor. So an Changqing took the man to Chuang Tzu at the foot of Qingyun Mountain.

There was a barefoot doctor in Zhuangzi. An Changqing asked Zhao Shi to take the boy to see the doctor first, and he was going to turn Zhuangzi inside and outside.

Xiao Zhige also went out with him, but he was ready to leave.

An Changqing doubts: "where does the Lord want today?"

Xiao Zhige said: "camp."

It took an Changqing a long time to figure out that he had sent himself this time. His heart was slightly warm, but he could not help muttering: "running back and forth is not afraid of trouble."

Xiao Zhige didn't hear his mumbling. He nodded to him and said, "I'll pick you up in the evening." then he rode away.

……

An Changqing walked around Zhuangzi, satisfied with everything, and decided to go back and sign the sales contract. After finishing business, he thought of the boy who had been rescued, so he asked Zhuangtou about the doctor's residence and found out for himself.

Zhao Shi was guarding at the door. Seeing him coming, he said, "the doctor has seen it. He said it's OK. It's all skin injuries."

An Changqing nodded, pushed the door in, and saw the boy sitting by the bed drinking medicine. He changed his clothes, which should belong to the doctor's family. He was obviously much more generous, and his face was wiped clean. Seeing an Changqing come in, he knelt down and kowtowed: "thank you for your help. I'll never forget it."

Although the boy tried to imitate, an Changqing still recognized that he was not a Yejing accent.

Looking back on his face, an Changqing helped him up, looked at him carefully, and asked tentatively, "what's your name?"

"Zhou Helan." The young man raised his head. His face was still green, but his nose was deep and his eyes were deep. He looked like a stranger.

Unexpectedly, it was really him. An Changqing was stunned for a while, and didn't react for a long time.

Zhou Helan, national teacher of Yuze, once met Xiao Zhige in the mass grave where he was buried.

At that time, Xiao Zhige died. He was wandering in the mass grave. One day, two people came to the mass grave, headed by Zhou Helan.

Zhou Helan was dressed in black and looked solemn, but brought a pot of wine to worship.

He sacrificed Xiao Zhige.

Xiao Zhige had been in the army all his life. He died without a whole body. Before and after his death, he had many names. This was the first time he saw someone come to worship him. He remembered Zhou Helan's appearance, and then followed him to Yejing, only to know that after Xiao Zhige's death, so many things happened again.For example, Xiao Qiyou, the abandoned prince, died of poisoning only one month after he ascended the throne. However, the two generals of Zhu state had their own discord. The situation that had just stabilized was broken again. Neighboring country Yuze took the opportunity to move his troops northward and occupied the capital Yejing at one stroke.

Yuze king huairuyu was called emperor in Yejing and respected Zhou Helan as national teacher.
