"I am very old, and there is dirt on the top of my head. To put it bluntly, the coffin is mostly closed, leaving only a gap, so I can still see this human world. Besides, I have been alive for a long time. If you don’t understand something, there is nothing wrong with it. People often say that women’s hair is long and their knowledge is short-sighted. Now it seems to be a lie. In ancient times, there were many talented and beautiful women. If they could get in and out like men, In schools and private schools, there are probably not many women who are successful, so old horses know their way around, or it is nonsense to say that people in their old age are well-informed and thoughtful, and can understand things that others cannot."
The sudden words really made Tang Bufeng, who had gone astray, come back to his senses. He looked at the old man in surprise, but the latter just blinked and smiled slyly, not criticizing the vulgar words just now. Originally, It was meant to be told to Tang Bufeng, who was in a state of uncertainty. Tang Bufeng also knew the old man's intention, so he nodded lightly.
"Earlier in ancient times, someone once said that the reason why there are such rebellions in a country is because they often deliberately find out the symptoms of the politicians. I think this statement is quite ridiculous. , a woman with a graceful figure was defiled by a powerful person for no reason, because of her dissoluteness or improper behavior? Anyone who encounters harm from others must be at fault. This saying has always been popular among the people. At that time, the old age was still there When I was young, I often accidentally bumped my forehead or got bruises due to playing with my playmates, and my family would often scold me. Whenever someone said that I was unintentional, I would find fault and say why others did it. child boy
Never got hurt by a collision. "
"But they have neither heard about other people's family affairs, nor have they ever thought that it was all unintentional. It just happened to me. Does that mean I shouldn't go out to play? After all, there are so many children who stay out of the house all day long, right? , it’s just that I’m not very lucky. It’s inappropriate to talk about what I shouldn’t do because of the collision. And when rebellion occurs in a country, you can’t blame it entirely on the king. If a saintly king like that is in power, benevolent and tolerant, rebellion may happen. They would also come to the door, and those onlookers who only knew how to use words in later generations often had to pick out the reasons to criticize and refute. Either they said that the imperial power was not handled securely, or they said that the military power was neglected, or they said that the personnel were improperly employed. , but nothing in this world is perfect, right?"
Tang Bufeng had never heard such a statement before, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the old man's words were quite reasonable. It seems that people often just want to make do with their own bodies. Even if they accidentally do something they never intended to do, they can always find some reason to convince themselves. It's up to oneself, for example, someone has to bow his head under the eaves, but he wants a lot from others. He must not be soft-hearted when dealing with merciful people. For those who are strong and courageous in means, the city is not deep enough to be used. , just like the old bird who insists on occupying the bird's nest, it must be fully occupied to be considered excellent.
I think Ruan Qiubai had tried to persuade her for a long time, saying that Tang Bufeng should restrain his belligerence and just stop practicing. However, Tang Bufeng always felt that the woman was very short-sighted and had not seen clearly.
Ruan Qiubai's eyes were filled with worry and panic. To elaborate on this matter, it would be unreasonable.
It's hard for two people to feel the same way, and it's hard for someone to behave and act in such a way that they can grasp the so-called balance just right, not to mention whether big things or small feelings should be kept in the center without losing any sense of proportion.
"Then what does the old man think of the direction of this war now?" Tang Bufeng put away his casual attitude and asked the old man again with a serious tone.
The old man chuckled, "How can I see this? I just open the window and take a look. Don't think that I can talk a lot of nonsense. I think he is some kind of hidden master. His family background is very innocent. He is the most ordinary nomadic people. He can What's the origin? At most, it's because I've lived longer and thought more deeply, so I can find ways to rely on my own ability to come up with such a reason that can convince myself, but this statement may not be valuable in the minds of others."
The old and the young chatted for a while, until the thick clouds outside the sky gathered again and filled the sky. The surrounding scenery turned gray and gray again. The coldest wind in the north caused the clouds to freeze and condense. Large tracts of sharp-edged ice crystals fell down, followed by the mighty north wind, scrambling to be the first to defeat thousands of troops plundering the formation. Many falcons that go out to forage have lost their usual majesty and become deserted.
They fled, fearing that they would be frozen by the wind and snow that swept in again, so they all left, leaving only the lead clouds circling and gathering in the sky, stirred by the strong wind, with strange appearances, gathering and dispersing at times.
This is the sky view of Shuofang that has not changed in the bamboo slips and scrolls in the northern border for eternity. It has changed with dynasties and vicissitudes of life, but it has never changed much, at least until there is a scroll.
It has been like this for thousands of years, even in the short time since records were recorded. It is desolate, vast, and eye-catching.
Tang Bufeng, who was rarely wearing the long purple-sheathed sword, stood under the sky, his eyes slightly narrowed, his cheeks flushed with the cold, he raised his head and didn't know what he was looking at. When he came to his senses, the old man was already about to The horse was brought in, and he sat on the horse's back, pointing to the sky. The strong wind quickly blew away the old man's words, but Tang Bufeng could clearly see what the old man said between opening and closing his mouth.
There is Yuntai in the east. The city will be destroyed and the fortress will be destroyed. It will come soon.
In a farmhouse not far from Luzhou Barrier, someone knocked on the door.
In recent days, Wen Yu's long-stressed thoughts have finally been slightly relieved during winter plowing and winter grazing in this military camp. However, good fortune and misfortune never come alone. It seems that Wen Yu has become accustomed to it. He is now the leader of Wang Tingtong. Soldiers naturally never have a day of peace. If nothing happens for a long time, they will feel more and more uneasy. For example, there were more than a dozen Feng Yan soldiers who came out of the barrier again many days ago, but now no one has returned, including Tang Bufeng, who is already in the third realm. It has been quiet for many days, and only three people who have left the barrier have returned. A few days later, a soldier with excellent eyesight once said that he saw a fire in the Xumeng Mansion military camp in the distance, and then it fell silent again.
According to Wen Yu's calculations, Feng Yan's soldiers are extremely skilled. What's more, although there is still no movement in the Five Jue, it has been a long-standing rule for practitioners not to participate in wars. What's more, Feng Yan's soldiers are sparse, and Tang Bu Feng, a master of all three realms, usually doesn't need to worry too much. Even if he loses, he still has the ability to protect himself.
But now it seems that the situation is not going that way
It was as easy as Wen Yu thought.
The knocking on the door became more and more urgent. Wen Yu came to her senses and was about to get up from the case office. However, the wooden door was cut into two parts with a knife. The person who came did not want to show any courtesy, so he broke open the door. He walked straight into the house and took a seat, without waiting for Wen Yu to speak.
This guest house is a secluded place rarely seen in Luzhou villages. It happened that Wen Yu still had to work hard and time for the military garrison, so only He Zhizhou was left to command the troops stationed at the Luzhou barrier, while he himself came to supervise the army. As long as there are those who damage the fields or do things unfavorably, but according to the military law, this matter is not surprising to the soldiers of the royal court of Zhengzhang. After all, only with strict military discipline can the common people block the way and the whole Zhengzhang The royal court is flourishing, and this is why. It's not necessarily that Wen Yu acted like this just to gain two days of leisure, but if the commander had not come in person, although the soldiers would not say anything, they would certainly be a little unhappy. Only he, the king, would The current commander-in-chief of the army in Ting court had no pretensions and rolled up his sleeves. He really took care of the Dongyue seedlings sincerely. Many soldiers saw this and were happy to do so.
The commander-in-chief of the army plowed the fields without any pretense, as if it was natural for him to be an ordinary soldier.
In addition to making a living, what Wen Yu has been thinking about for a long time, of course, cannot be bypassed by the battle in the royal court. For two or three years, he put everything on his mind aside for the time being, and only tried to pierce the sword in his hand. Xu Meng's family's chest, but unfortunately often the war is finalized and it is not one person's turn to make the decision.
"My husband-in-law has been away from the Luzhou Barrier for many days. May I ask Commander Wen if he knows the whereabouts of Feng Yan's soldiers?"
There are so many people coming
Ruan Qiubai, whom he had never seen before, looked haggard, and sat in front of Wen Yu to question him.
As for the soldiers outside the door, Wen Yu knew that it was definitely not Ruan Qiubai's opponent, so he quickly retracted his thoughts and shook his head slightly, "I never knew that Tang Bufeng was a friend of an old friend, and he had the cultivation level of the three realms. If so, Even he is not suitable to lead the Feng Yan soldiers, so who else is suitable?"
"My little lady is not here to ask why Wen Shuai ordered Tang Bu Feng to lead Feng Yan's soldiers, but to ask what he would think and do if Wen Shuai's husband went out and did not return for a long time without any news." Ruan Qiubai. Her temperament has always been very calm like that of ordinary women. Since coming to Luzhou Barrier, she has not moved around much. She only practices on her own and has never been too involved in military affairs.
At most, when Tang Bufeng said that he would lead Feng Yan soldiers to the east of the Luzhou barrier to spy on the enemy, he smashed the table with his palm. The people in the army knew about it and spread the news. Of course, he almost defeated Tang Bufeng. Not Feng's face. Many people were gloating about their misfortune. They said that this swordsman who used his sword to communicate with gods and could be called the most brave swordsman in the three armies really found a wife with a very bad temper. Although he had a very good face, it was a pity that ordinary people really couldn't deal with it. No, it’s just that there is a lot of sourness in the words that have been circulated.
Wen Yu lowered his eyebrows.
"I will send another group of troops to the east of the Luzhou Barrier before the current matter is over. Regardless of whether the Feng Yan soldiers are still alive or not, the whereabouts of Tang Bufeng will be found for the girl."
"I want to go with you." Ruan Qiubai put away his knife and stood up.
"I would like to advise you, girl, everything is dangerous in the east. Don't try to show off." Wen Yu said calmly and did not pursue Ruan Qiubai's solo intrusion.
There were not many words in the house's actions, just a reminder, but Ruan Qiubai, who had already put away his knife and was about to leave, left and returned, standing in front of Wen Yu, staring down at Wen Yu's face, looking down at him. Word by word.
"It's good that Ci can't command soldiers, but Wen Shuai is also a woman, has he ever done anything for his sweetheart? I'm not like you. I'm not as generous as you, and I even care about everything. But I left my man in the east, so of course I want to go. .”
