In the astonished gazes of Liu Ziqiu and Xiangxiang, Gao Xiuer said slowly: "My mother, a member of the Xie family in Moling, was later selected to join the Chen Palace and was named Zhaoyi. After Chen's death, she disappeared into the Gao family. Who would have thought that just now,
In the year, the Gao family is gone."
Gao Xiuer and Liu Ziqiu lived life and death together. When she said these words, she looked indifferent and was not worried that Liu Ziqiu would look down on her.
Princess Yueyang and Xie Zhaoyi were in the Gao family. Although they each gave birth to a daughter, and Xie Zhaoyi was deeply favored by Gao Jiong, they were actually not happy. They lived an ignoble life, but they were deeply ashamed of having raped others, and they were depressed.
, died young at a young age.
Of course, Liu Ziqiu did not look down on their ideas, but he was a little skeptical of Vanilla's words. The Princess Yueyang may have been homesick, but she could never relieve herself by drawing pictures of the manor. Moreover, when Princess Yueyang died, Vanilla had the most
When you are seven or eight years old, even if you have seen a lot, you will not remember it so clearly. This is obviously a demerit that has been forced to be written down repeatedly. There must be a secret in Vanilla's heart.
Seeing that Gao Xiu'er and Xiang Xiang were both in a low mood, Liu Ziqiu was hesitating whether to continue questioning when he suddenly heard Xiao Dapeng shouting in the courtyard: "Brother, someone from the Moling Xie family is here!"
"The Moling Xie family? It's so late, what are they doing here?" Liu Ziqiu frowned and said, "Let's arrange a place for them first, and I'll see them tomorrow."
…
In the Luoyang Palace, Yang Guang was furious in the Qianyang Palace: "Little Tie Le, how dare you offend me, the Sui Dynasty, I want to conquer it myself!"
Xu Guogong and Zuowei General Yu Wenshu hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, calm down. Every year at the turn of winter and spring, it is common for the northern barbarians to invade the border. They will retreat soon. Now the road is difficult to travel, and the Emperor should not move lightly. If Tiele
It is still rampant, so Feng Xiaoci can be sent out from Dunhuang to attack it."
Yuwenshu was also a famous general in the Sui Dynasty. Yang Guang's eldest daughter, Princess Nanyang, married Yuwenshu's third son, Yuwen Shiji. The two were actually sons and daughters, so Yuwenshu was trusted by Yang Guang very much.
After listening to Yu Wenshu's words, Yang Guang pondered for a long time and said: "I will follow your instructions and pass the decree. I ordered Feng Kaoci to be the general of the Youhou Guards and send troops to Tiele immediately!"
Li Mi was on duty today. As an aide-de-camp, his task was to record the dialogue between the monarch and his ministers, but he was not qualified to speak. It was also night, and there was only one minister, Yu Wenshu, in the palace, and no one else would advise Yang.
Guang Yujia went on a personal expedition. Li Mi saw it, was anxious in his heart, but could do nothing. However, Li Mi knew that with Yang Guang's character, one day he could be persuaded to go on a personal expedition, perhaps more than once.
Yuwenshu bowed his head and resigned, sending an order to mobilize his troops.
Yang Guangyu's anger was still lingering when he suddenly heard the servant say: "Your Majesty, Ma Zhong wants to see you!"
Ma Zhong and Wang Hong were Yang Guang's two personal guards and had always been loyal to him. Liu Ziqiu broke into the Forbidden Garden at night, killed Wang Hong and seriously injured Ma Zhong. After more than two months of treatment, Ma Zhong recovered slightly and came to
Asking to see Yang Guang.
Yang Guang was furious and didn't want to see him at first, but thinking of his loyal protection of the Lord that day, his expression softened and he waved his hand and said: "Xuan!"
Ma Zhong was really seriously injured that time, and he didn't have a miraculous doctor like Sun Simiao to treat him, so he still hasn't been able to deal with it easily until now. He almost walked into the palace with one step at a time, and even Yang Guang, who had always been indifferent, was worried.
As soon as he entered the Qianyang Palace, Ma Zhong knelt down, kowtowed to the ground and said: "This servant failed to fulfill his duties and frightened the emperor. Please punish me!"
This is the first time he has seen Yang Guang since he was injured. As soon as he met, he took the initiative to apologize to show his loyalty. Ma Zhong has followed Yang Guang for many years and understands Yang Guang best. He knows that Yang Guang is moody, regardless of whether he is for
The only reason he was injured so badly was to save him. Maybe when he is in a bad mood, he will punish himself for not being able to catch the thief.
Yang Guang saw Ma Zhong's frail condition and felt pity. He waved his hand and said, "Get up. You have done your best. I don't blame you. Tomorrow, go to the inner treasury to withdraw two hundred taels of silver and live in peace for the rest of your life."
!”
Ma Zhong came to see him, and his original intention was to wait for his body to fully recover before working for Yang Guang. But when he looked up, he saw two beautiful women standing behind Yang Guang, both dressed in fancy clothes, each with a waist hanging on his waist.
Swords, one person carries two swords on his back, both of them are heroic and undistinguished.
One of these two women was Fan Yuer, and the other was Xue Yeer who lent the sword to Gao Xiuer. Ma Zhong was injured, Wang Hong was killed, and Yang Guang had no bodyguards around him. Although there were many warriors in the palace, none of them were eunuchs. Naturally,
It was inconvenient to follow him in and out of the palace. Later, Yang Guang thought of Fan Yu'er who was chasing the assassin with his sword. Fan Yu'er was not seriously injured. After five or six days, he acted as usual and showed off his sword skills in front of Yang Guang.
Yang Guang was very satisfied and asked her to be his personal bodyguard.
Fan Yu'er heard about Xue Ye'er and took the initiative to plead for her. Yang Guang, who was always harsh on his ministers and people and tolerant of women, especially beautiful women, actually pardoned Xue Ye'er and made her a personal bodyguard. Fan Yu'er, Xue Ye'er, this
A pair of beauties can make up for the shortcomings of Ma Zhong and Wang Hong.
Ma Zhong was well aware of Yang Guang's nature. When he saw the two beautiful women standing behind Yang Guang, he knew that there was no hope for him to turn back. But he did not expect that Yang Guang could reward him with so much silver. He immediately burst into tears of gratitude and worshiped again: "Slave.
Even with this seven-foot body, I must capture the thief in order to repay the emperor for his kindness!"
Although the court had announced that the assassin fell off a cliff and died, and Yang Xiu was sentenced to death for this, Ma Zhong, who had experienced the life-and-death battle that night, could not believe that the matter was over without seeing the assassin's body.
"Okay, okay. Li Mi, help him down." Yang Guang had already become impatient and thought to himself, when you were in good health, you were no match for that assassin. Now that you are like this, why are you trying to catch him?
Li Mi agreed and helped Ma Zhong up. Ma Zhong bowed to Yang Guang three more times before standing up. He glanced at Li Mi inadvertently, and suddenly his heart was shocked.
That day in Shanglin Garden, although Ma Zhong had a close fight with Liu Ziqiu, the time was too short and the situation was very urgent. He did not see Liu Ziqiu's face clearly. However, Ma Zhong remembered Liu Ziqiu's figure clearly.
.
Li Mi is tall and well-proportioned, somewhat similar to Liu Ziqiu, but slightly shorter than Liu Ziqiu by a few centimeters. This small difference can naturally be ignored in Ma Zhong's eyes.
One is Yang Guang's personal bodyguard, and the other is Yang Guang's attendant. Ma Zhong has met Li Mi and knows that Li Mi is only a civil servant, and has never seen him show martial arts. However, Ma Zhong, who is cautious by nature, still pays attention to this.
Li Mi was arrested and listed as one of the suspects.
…
Early the next morning, Liu Ziqiu and Xiao Dapeng first took people from the Xie family to the village to pay homage to Xiao Xin. Yang Heihu's head had long been buried deep next to Xiao Xin's tomb. There was not even a grave, and no trace could be seen.
The visitor was Xie Yun, the eldest son of Xie Wengshan. He paid three obeisances to Xiao Xin's tomb and sighed: "Xie came here because he admired Mr. Xiao's reputation, but he didn't expect to be separated from heaven and man. What a pity, what a pity."
Xie Yun came here originally to invite Xiao Xin to come out, but he didn't know about Xiao Xin's death until last night. Of course, because of Liu Ziqiu's instruction, Xiao Dapeng did not tell him the truth, only that Xiao Xin had an emergency. At the same time, he told him
, the current person in charge of Changshan Village is Liu Ziqiu, not Zipeng. This news greatly disappointed Xie Yun, so coming to pay homage to Xiao Xin today was just out of etiquette, and it was quite perfunctory.
Liu Ziqiu's eyes were vicious and he had already seen Xie Yun's thoughts. He stretched out his hand to say "please" and said: "Everyone is destined to die, and Mr. Xie doesn't want to be too sad. Before Mr. Xiao left, he had already told Liu about the Xie family
Liu also strongly agrees with the proposal. Although Changshan Village is poor, it still tries its best to run a school. I also invite Mr. Xie to come and have a look and give some advice."
Of course, the Xie family's original intention was not to ask the children of the Xiao family to participate in the imperial examination. Xie Yun believed that with Mr. Xiao's eyes, he would never believe it. After hearing Liu Ziqiu's words, he was stunned. But he was already here, but it was not good.
Avoiding it, he had to cup his hands and say: "Clan Chief Liu, please."
Liu Ziqiu specially took Xie Yun around the village and entered through the main entrance of the village.
Under Wei Zheng's guidance, the defense of Changshan Village has been greatly improved. The original fence wall has been reinforced, a circle of river protection has been dug outside, and a suspension bridge has been set up at the village gate. It is simply a small castle.
A group of ten strong men in the village, holding bamboo spears, walked past Xie Yun from time to time. In the square in front of the school, forty-eight teenagers were practicing catching enemy fists under the leadership of Shuan Zi.
The neat and mighty movements and deafening shouts made Xie Yun's eyes brighten. He couldn't help but raise his hands and ask: "Chief Liu, who set up the defense in the village? Who taught these young men their kung fu?"
Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "I dare not disappoint Mr. Xiao's request to let the villagers practice martial arts to prevent thieves, just to prevent thieves."
Of course, the school is nothing fancy. Although it is the most luxurious place in Changshan Village, it is not worth mentioning compared to the Xie family. Those children have only attended elementary school for a month, and there is nothing worthy of Xie Yun's heart. In the end
The key thing is that Xie Yun's thoughts are not on this aspect.
Xiao Xin's death made Xie Yun's original plan come to nothing, but the layout of Changshan Village and the training scene of the teenagers ignited Xie Yun's hope. However, the situation suddenly changed, and many things were beyond his control.
Xie Yun was full of thoughts and reluctantly walked around the village, and then he handed over his hand and said: "Mr. Xiao unfortunately passed away. Xie also felt deeply sorry for it, so he went back to report to his father. Moling is not far from here, so Xie is bold
, on behalf of my father, I made an appointment with Patriarch Liu to go to Moling when he had some free time, and to renew his old friendship with the Xiao family."
Liu Ziqiu hesitated for a moment and then returned the greeting: "The Xie family is a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. How dare you disobey me! Within ten days, Liu will definitely come to visit Mr. Xie."
After Xie Yun left, Wei Zheng came out from behind, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My lord, do you think that the Xie family really wants to take the imperial examination?"
