Volume Seven: Ma Mingfeng is Xiaoxiao, the Young Man Raises His Sword
In fact, Guo Baiyi was fully mentally prepared, but when he heard Xiao Yuanche's words, he was still a little surprised and confused, and hurriedly asked: "How could...Su Ling was born in Sanhe Town, Wanyang?"
From Jiacun, I went to Nanzhang County later...how could I be in Chongzhou?"
Xiao Yuanche let out a long sigh.
The past is as vivid as yesterday.
"Fate has its way with people, fate has its way with people... Bai Yi, you also know that at first, the relationship between me and Ding was just a marriage, and because I deeply hated the family, I was also quite indifferent to her.
, although we have children, there is no affection at all between her and me. Moreover, at that time, because I was willing to give in to others and came from a eunuch family, although the Ding family did not look down on me, their Ding family
But he was afraid of avoiding me. Before I went to Chongzhou, I almost wrote a letter of peace and separation... If Mrs. Ding hadn't cried and begged at that time, saying that she would never leave her no matter what, I would have made up my mind.
My idea is to never meet Ding again in this life..."
Xiao Yuanche paused and said: "The day I returned to Chongzhou was the darkest moment in my life. I was surrounded by powerful enemies outside and squeezed by local clans in Chongzhou. I only had the skills and the passion to serve the country.
But I had no way to serve the country... So in order to protect myself, I even more self-defiled, drinking and getting drunk all day long, hanging out in parties, and living like a dandy..."
It was also the first time that Guo Baiyi heard that Xiao Yuanche had such a past incident, and he felt a sigh of relief in his heart. He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "I don't want my lord to have such a difficult time..."
The vicissitudes of life on Xiao Yuanche's face were even greater: "But Bai Yi, you know, time is the sharpest murder weapon in the world. Although I am clear in my heart and know my life aspirations, what is the reality? How can I not
Clearly, getting drunk and looking for flowers have become my normal routine. Over time, I have become accustomed to these things, and I even feel that my life has really passed like this..."
"Lord..."
"Until I met Jing Niang, the most beautiful scene in my life was meeting her. I still dream about her from time to time at night..." This powerful minister who was feared by the entire Jin Dynasty actually
Suddenly all the iron blood and coldness were removed, and his expression was filled with gentle light.
"That day when I woke up, there were thunders in the sky, and a drizzle fell continuously in Jinhua City, Chongzhou. I went out to have fun and drink as usual, and got very drunk, but I forgot to bring any money. Since ancient times, the land of fireworks has been the most ruthless.
You can do whatever you want with money. Without money, no matter who you are, you will turn your face and deny anyone..." Xiao Yuanche fell into deep memories.
"Yes... Bai Yi understands this..." Guo Baiyi said with deep understanding.
"That day, because I forgot to bring my money, I was beaten up by the brothel madam and the evil slaves. It rained heavily and I was already drunk. I only wore a middle coat and didn't bring an umbrella, so I had to face the wind and rain in this city.
I was running around in Jinhua City like a headless fly. Coupled with my depressed mood, I became even more distraught and couldn't find my way back. My mind was slippery due to the rainy day, and I even fell down a few times...
"Xiao Yuanche said slowly.
"I was covered in dirty water and mud, soaked from head to toe by the rain. I fell a few times and suffered a bruised nose and swollen face. What made me even more embarrassed was that I was walking in the rain in a daze.
, and even met many children of famous families. They were all well-dressed and bossy. Seeing me in such a mess, they all laughed at me and were extremely sarcastic... Bai Yi, do you know what they said at that time?
?”
Xiao Yuanche looked at Guo Baiyi, his eyes full of resentment towards the children of those aristocratic families.
"how?"
"Look, he looks like a dog..."
When Guo Baiyi heard this, his eyebrows stood up and he said in a cold voice: "Those people...all deserve to die!"
"Damn it? There are so many aristocratic families in the Jin Dynasty. They have established a huge system and control the entire dynasty. Can they be killed? Can they be killed?" Xiao Yuanche shook his head helplessly and said: "Now I am inferior to one person, and I am inferior to ten thousand people."
Go on, what can I do, don’t you want to coax them and use them for me?”
Guo Baiyi's expression suddenly darkened and he remained silent.
“I was devastated, as frightened as a bereaved dog, and I was wearing only my middle coat, soaked to the skin, and couldn’t stand the cold, but I found that the cold rain didn’t seem to stop falling... When I looked up,
I saw a light green oil-paper umbrella above my head."
Xiao Yuanche said word by word: "And in front of me is the woman holding an umbrella for me... I still can't forget the first time I saw her... The green clothes are full of flowers,
Li Guo smiled lightly, the soft light in her eyes was like the stars on a summer night..."
"She was slender and delicate, but she stood there, holding up the light green oil-paper umbrella, shielding me from the wind and rain in the city and all the malice in the world. At that moment, she was me
, Xiao Yuanche’s entire world!”
Speaking of this moment, Xiao Yuanche's face was full of tenderness and his heart was filled with vicissitudes of life.
"She thought I was just an ordinary man who was down and out, so she took me to eat a bowl of hot noodles, and then took me to buy some clothes. Although the food was ordinary, the clothes were not at all gorgeous... but
, That was the most delicious meal I, Xiao Yuanche, have ever eaten in my life, and the most luxurious clothes I have ever worn..." Xiao Yuanche spoke slowly.
"Later... I learned about it secretly and found out that this girl was called Jingniang. She was a lonely woman. Her mother died early and only her father was seriously ill. However, she never felt that God was unfair to her. She still felt that God was unfair to her.
Every day I smile like the wind, facing all the coldness in the world with a smile. I always find various excuses to see her and help her. We spend many days and nights together, we laugh or cry, so we finally trust each other,
I swear I will never be separated again in my life..." Xiao Yuanche's face was full of intoxication, and the frivolous days of his youth were like the wind blowing by, thawing away all his coldness.
"This...how could Mrs. Ding from Longtai..." Guo Baiyi said half of his words before swallowing.
"Alas! I also know that the Ding family is a famous member of a wealthy family, and it is already unfair to her to wait for me in the capital. If she knew that I would...then her entire Ding family would be afraid
They will never let me go, let alone Jingniang... But I already have a deep love for Jingniang, and at that time, I couldn't care about that much." Xiao Yuanche sighed.
"As time went by, she also knew that I was a Fenwu general of the imperial court. It was only after the imperial court suffered a setback that I hid in Chongzhou in an attempt to make a comeback. She also knew that I also had a real wife, who was the Ding family of the Longtai clan." Xiao Yuanche said slowly.
Xu shook her head, "But Jing Niang said that she didn't care who I was, let alone my status. She only knew that I was the down-and-out man she met in Jinhua City in Rainy Day City...
As long as she is with me, he will ask for nothing. After listening to her words, I secretly vowed that I will live up to her in this life..."
"But..." Xiao Yuanche sighed deeply and said with some helplessness on his face: "If the sky doesn't go as planned, how can lovers be allowed to live day and night in these troubled times? Sha Liang rebelled against the national thief Wang Xi
, for a time, the mountains and rivers were shattered, blood flowed, and smoke was everywhere. Wang Xi's soldiers were sharp and the court could not resist. He actually attacked Longtai and slaughtered all the resisting troops of Longtai and the imperial court in ten days. This was the darkest event in the history of the Jin Dynasty.
On the tenth day of Longtai... The Jin Dynasty was covered in dust, Wang Xi was cruel, and even tried to encroach on the entire world, so the twenty-eight princes in the world rose up to resist Wang Xi. I, dormant in Chongzhou, knew that I was suffering
The opportunity you’ve been waiting for has finally come!”
"That day, a scribe came to my house. He told me that he came from Longtai just to find me. His name was Xu Wenruo..."
"Xu Lingjun!..." Guo Baiyi blurted out.
"Yes, it's him. I have also lived in Longtai for a long time. I am one of the eight dragons of the Xu family. How come I don't know the name of Wenruo Longshou? That day, we talked all night long, and he made it clear to me all the plans he had in mind.
We agreed to advance together and retreat together to save the Jin Dynasty and save our Li Shu! That’s why I took the initiative to advocate the righteous army. I also invited all the princes from the world to gather in Jinhua City in Chongzhou, join an alliance with bloodshed, and send troops to Bacheng to fight together.
Wang Xi." Xiao Yuanche said.
"I see......"
"Yes, it's true that I, Xiao Yuanche, was able to completely break away from the unsavory reputation I had in the past because of Xu Wenruo's initiative in advocating for the rebel army and leading the alliance plan! That day when I gathered my troops and set out with the army, I wanted to treat Jing Niang with me.
I want to go, but she doesn’t want to go with me..."
"Why?"
"She said that her man belongs to this world, and he wants to do something spectacular. If she goes, she will only be an extra worry and burden, and she doesn't want to bow to the wife... She said
, she will burn incense and pray every day at the place where she met me in Jinhua City, Chongzhou, wishing her husband all the best!..."
"She even told me that she was pregnant... I cried with joy and wanted to take her away, but she was even more reluctant. She said she would give birth to our child and raise her well. She
She is not going anywhere, she will stay in Chongzhou, waiting for her man to come back..."
"I had no other choice, so I put on her wrist the bracelet that my mother passed down to me when she was dying. It was a bracelet made of Shuibi. There is no such thing in the Central Plains...
.I told her that if the child is born, it will be a gift from the father to the child..."
"On the day the army set off, I was among thousands of troops. Looking back, I saw her standing at the foot of Jinhua City, still wearing the light green clothes she wore when we met me that day, holding the oil-paper umbrella in her hand...
..."
"She stood there with a faint smile on her face, her smile was like the wind... Behind her, the peach blossoms were burning and in full bloom..."
Xiao Yuanche fell into deep memories, his heart was filled with vicissitudes of life, and his eyes were filled with the past.
"The spring clothes are narrow, the skin is fragrant and moist, the curtains and green clothes reflect the peach branches..."
"Twenty-eighth Route Army attacked Wang Xi, and the war was in full swing. Under Ba City, with beacon fire and wolf eyes, after a fierce battle, my Chongzhou Army finally broke through Wang Xi's defense line and advanced towards Longtai...
Later, Longtai was restored, and the emperor was welcomed back to the Forbidden Palace by me. The overall situation was decided... On top of the city, I met the Ding family again after a long absence... Finally, my grudges with the Ding family
, completely released with a smile..." Xiao Yuanche slowly closed his eyes, and said after a while: "Because of this, I fought to become Feng Sikong, and because of this, Shen Jizhou fought to become General Feng. You, Baiyi, have done these things.
Everyone knows that under Ba City, you succeeded your senior brother and relied on you for these things..."
"Eldest brother, Bai Yi is just repaying the kindness of knowing him. He also knows that eldest brother does not care about family status, but only talents..." Guo Baiyi said hurriedly.
"After the war ended, I immediately wanted to return to Jinhua City to find Jingniang in person... However, I was already in a high position, entangled with many things, and couldn't do anything... I had no choice.
So I secretly sent someone to Jinhua City in Chongzhou to look for Jingniang, but I was looking forward to news about Jingniang day and night, but all I got was in vain..." Xiao Yuanche had a painful look on his face, and slowly said
Closed his eyes.
"Baiyi knew that when Wang Xi was about to be defeated, he took a risk and launched a surprise attack on Chongzhou, hoping to cut off his eldest brother's base camp... Fortunately, the lord made an effort and rushed to attack Longtai. Wang Xi had no choice but to attack again.
Retreat from Jinhua City and rush to help Longtai..." Guo Baiyi said.
"Yes...who is Wang Xi? Which of his generals is not a wolf, tiger or leopard? How can the people not suffer if they occupy Jinhua City in Chongzhou? When the people I sent return, tell me, Jinhua
Almost all the people in the city were slaughtered, and nine of the ten houses were empty. Where is the shadow of Jingniang..." Xiao Yuanche said with a sad expression on his face.
Guo Baiyi was a little confused and said: "But...if that's the case, then Su Ling..."
Xiao Yuanche waved his hands and said: "God is pitiful, God is pitiful. Just when I thought I would never know the news about Jing Niang and my child I had never met, that night, suddenly came to my study.
A Taoist who has taken part in creation..."
"Taoist?"
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said with deep meaning: "Don't Bai Yi know who this Taoist is?"
Guo Baiyi's thoughts raced, and he finally said loudly: "I understand, the Taoist the elder brother mentioned is Taoist Master Kongxin?"
"That's right! It's Taoist Master Kongxin of Daoxian Palace... As for how he got to know me well, I already said it when we were dealing with the Yiwu alien race..." Xiao Yuanche said.
"Why did Taoist Master Kongxin come here late at night?" Guo Baiyi asked with some confusion.
"Taoist Master Kongxin told me that that day when Jinhua City was destroyed, he was in Jinhua City and met a dying woman in a ruined temple. She was holding a baby boy in her arms. The baby boy
Still crying...Kongxin Taoist
He saw a bracelet on the woman's wrist, which he had seen before, and it belonged to me... After careful questioning, I found out that the dying woman was Jing Niang, and the man
Ying is my son, Xiao Yuanche!" Xiao Yuanche said word by word.
"I see... Then why didn't Master Kongxin send the baby boy to Longtai Sikong's mansion immediately..." Guo Baiyi asked.
"He really meant it. He just felt that there were still doubts about the matter, so he sneaked into our Sikong Mansion late at night to ask me for confirmation. After asking, it was indeed the case. He told me that Jing Niang had been seriously injured and died... She
, before he died, he murmured my name, Xiao Yuanche..."
When Xiao Yuanche talked about this moment, he burst into tears, but it was heartbreaking.
"Lord..."
After a long while, Xiao Yuanche waved his hands to stop his tears and said: "The past is over, but I have failed Jing Niang and the others after all..."
"Taoist Kongxin told me that the baby boy is in his Taoist Immortal Palace at the moment, and there is a girl over three years old beside him. She teases him all day long, but there is no wind or rain. He asked me if I would put this baby
The baby boy is returned to my house..."
"I really wanted to take my son back to my home, but...I couldn't!" Xiao Yuanche looked helpless.
Guo Baiyi also sighed and said nothing. He also understood Xiao Yuanche's difficulties.
"The Ding family is powerful, and the Ding family is strong. What's more, I also have two sons, and now I have another two sons, not to mention that my mother is an ordinary woman... Then my son must not have any ability to establish a cone?
"Xiao Yuanche said in a deep voice.
"Brother is worried about that..."
"So, I asked Taoist Master Kong Xin to take care of my son on my behalf... However, Kong Xin is a Taoist priest with six pure roots. It will be inconvenient for him to bring this child of unknown origin... I and
Kong Xin discussed it all night, and finally decided to let him send the child to an ordinary people's home. Because of the troubled times and constant wars, the family had to be far away from the big city, and the place where they were located needed transportation and lack of information.
It is best to be isolated from the outside world as much as possible. Only in this way can the baby boy be protected from the war or less affected by the war. Although he will have to endure hardships in the future, he will eventually survive..."
Only then did Guo Baiyi suddenly realize: "So that's it! That's why Taoist Kongxin chose the closed Sujia Village in Sanhe Town!"
Xiao Yuanche nodded.
"As time goes by, it seems that many years have passed, and I have Jingshu and Cangshu again, but I never stop missing my son who I have never met..."
