173 [Spring Heart]
After the laughter, everyone gradually became quiet.
Pei Yue was the youngest and the first time he came to such a romantic place, but he behaved very appropriately and calmly, which disappointed Gu Fan who wanted to see him in embarrassment. He never imagined that Pei Yue was once a veteran.
In his previous life, he went to high-end entertainment venues countless times for socializing.
He took over Gu Fan's task, stood up and poured wine for everyone, and said as he walked: "This time, your Majesty will let the Beijing army and the border army rotate in advance. I wonder how the brothers think about this?"
Li Jin muttered: "The war is about to begin."
An excited look appeared on Xue Meng's face, and he rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, I've long wanted to go to the border to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!"
Pei Yue and Li Jin looked at each other, shook their heads slightly and said, "Brother Xue, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
Xue Meng asked in confusion: "Why?"
Pei Yue stood beside him and analyzed in detail: "Because Daliang cannot bear to launch a large-scale national war with both sides at the same time. In comparison, the south will take the initiative to attack, and the west can only defend passively. After you go to the west,
, they will probably use Tiger City as a shield and the four camps as support, and they will not be able to get out, even if the people of Xiwu curse at their mother under the city."
Xue Meng drank his wine gloomily, thought for a while and asked: "Brother Yue, why is the south attacking and the west defending?"
Pei Yue put the wine bottle in front of him, then walked back to his seat and sat down. Under Li Jin's expectant gaze, he slowly said: "Because Daliang and Nanzhou are separated by the Tiancang River, but Daliang and Xiwu
In between is the Gaoyang Plain.”
Now not only Xue Meng couldn't understand, but also Qin Xian and Gu Fan looked at him doubtfully. Only Li Jin showed appreciation.
Pei Yue did not give in and continued: "The soldiers of Southern Zhou Dynasty are very strong, but there is no place for horse breeding in the territory, so as long as they cross the Tiancang River, there will be no hindrance to our cavalry. On the contrary, Xiwu seems to have
There is no heroic pass, but there is the strongest cavalry in the world. In a flat place like Gaoyang Plain, Daliang is actually at a disadvantage. In my opinion, if your Majesty is determined to launch a national war to pacify the world, he should start with the easy things and then the hard ones.
After Zhou's worries are resolved, we can then go all out to fight against Xi Wu."
Xue Meng suddenly realized, and then he said with a bit of toothache: "In this case, if we follow the brave guard to the west, we won't be able to catch anything?"
Pei Yue said seriously: "Brothers, after going to the border, you must be careful and careful. No matter what your Majesty decides in the end, no matter whether you are facing offense or defense, the sword has no eyesight on the battlefield. The prerequisite for meritorious service is to save your own life."
Everyone nodded, and Qin Xian said with regret: "Brother Yue, your overall view is better than ours, but it's a pity that you are too young to join the army. Why don't you mention it to Lord Gu and let you follow?
Be a personal soldier by his side?"
Gu Fan immediately patted his chest and said, "Just nod, I'll take care of this matter."
Pei Yue thanked him first, then shook his head and said: "According to Mr.'s prediction, there will be no large-scale war at least within a year, and at most it will be a small-scale friction on the border. Furthermore, even if the national war breaks out tomorrow, I will not rush
Join the army. I still have a lot to learn right now. If I ignore it for the sake of fame, I'm afraid I will only become a burden to you."
Li Jin said with emotion: "Let's not worry about Brother Yue. This is our first fourteen-year-old Viscount in Daliang, and he did not inherit the title, but got it by his own ability. Although we are older than him,
Speaking of which, I'm afraid he is not as stable as him. Brother Yue's future must have been in his mind for a long time. As brothers, we can't do anything else. We can only gain a foothold in the army as soon as possible, so that we can also be in his future.
Help when needed."
Qin Xian and Xue Meng nodded in agreement.
Pei Yue said with emotion: "Brother Li, I can't bear these words. You have been helping me since we met."
Li Jin shook his head and said: "Brothers don't tell lies. Without you, where would we have the chance to make meritorious deeds?"
Pei Yue didn't know how to answer, so Gu Fan took over and said, "Okay, Lao Li and the others are all real men. You don't have to be too modest. I invite you to leave the garden today. You can't keep the owner of this place outside, right?"
"
Pei Yue laughed dumbly. Looking at Gu Fan's slightly unnatural expression, he nodded and said, "Then please invite Miss Nan Qin to come in?"
"It should have been like this! Why don't you come here and not listen to a song?" Gu Fan's face was full of joy and he hurried downstairs.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, thinking that this guy was acting a little obvious?
After a while, Nan Qin, accompanied by two maids, followed Gu Fan into the flower hall.
The owner of the small building in Liyuan is naturally no better than those ordinary brothel girls. Whether it is her appearance or her demeanor, Nan Qin is eye-catching.
"Nan Qin has met you gentlemen." Her eyes were warm and her voice was gentle. She didn't have any charm about her body, but she was like an orchid in an empty valley, quiet and self-sufficient.
Gu Fan smiled heartily and said: "They are all my brothers and sisters. They have never been to such an elegant place. Don't be surprised if they don't understand etiquette."
Nan Qin lowered his head slightly and said, "I don't dare."
Gu Fan rubbed his hands nervously and said, "We are all rough people and don't understand music and music, so we won't show off in front of you. You can play whatever you want."
Nan Qin smiled and said: "Young Master Gu is too modest. You are all brave and determined men. I think you can't get used to hearing such melodious music, so Nan Qin will play a song "Qiu Sai Yin" for you to help you get drunk."
Gu Fan nodded quickly and said: "Excellent, I will do as you say!"
The two maids immediately went to arrange the decorations. On one side of the flower hall stood a gold-enameled Qiushan travel screen, and behind the screen stood a guqin.
Nan Qin walked behind the screen, and Gu Fan turned his head with a happy face, and then saw the other four people sitting in a row, with expressions of regret and ridicule on their faces.
"What are you doing?" Gu Fan asked unhappily.
Pei Yue turned his head and said, "Who is this person?"
Qin Xian smiled and shook his head: "I don't know."
Xue Meng followed and sighed: "Old Xue feels ashamed."
Even Li Jin, who had watched Gu Fan grow up, couldn't help but whisper: "Fourth Young Master, you are not usually like this."
Gu Fan came back to his senses and said with disdain on his face: "You know... what, I call this respect!"
Pei Yue looked at the extremely elegant and exquisite furnishings in this small building, and suddenly understood why this guy was always short of money.
Even if he is guarding the gold and silver, he still can't help himself from frequenting places like this to be free and unrestrained.
After a while, the sound of the piano suddenly started.
It sounds like the sound of nature from the beginning, making you feel like you are in a fairyland, cold and misty. The middle part is loose and far away, as if you are on the frontier, seeing the vastness of the world and the insignificance of the people. The aftertaste is subtle and long, like a human voice singing softly, and like
The chirping of insects and the chirping of birds gradually fade away.
Nanqin lives up to her name. The three tones intertwined at her fingertips are endlessly changing, and the sounds of all things in the world are included in it.
As soon as the song stopped, not only Gu Fan was mesmerized by it, but even a fierce man like Xue Meng who only thought about killing on the battlefield all day long was immersed in it.
Pei Yue praised softly: "Good skills."
Gu Fan squinted at him proudly.
Nan Qin came out from behind the screen, walked up to everyone and bowed, her eyes involuntarily falling on Gu Fan.
Pei Yue was about to make a few jokes when he saw this, when he suddenly heard a noise downstairs, and then a young man's voice came up: "I risked my life to kill the enemy in the west, and finally came back to rest, come here to listen
How dare you stop me? Tell Nan Qin to come down, otherwise your small building will be demolished today!"
Nan Qin was slightly startled. Unlike other courtesans, he didn't immediately put on a pitiful look. Instead, he looked at Gu Fan with some worry.
Pei Yue saw this scene in his eyes and was slightly touched.
Gu Fan stood up and walked towards the stairs without saying a word.
