After taking the first step, his waist straightened; after taking the second step, his eyes became clear again; after taking the third step, the gray hair on his temples became much less.
There is a horse outside the tavern, covered in dark red armor. From head to tail, only the eyes are exposed, which are also dark red. There is a long spear stuck upside down on the ground, which is very cold; there is a knife hanging on the blood shield, which is leisurely.
He was spinning around, as if he had been bored for too long, and he was yawning repeatedly.
He took off his knife, pulled out the spear stuck on the ground, and smiled slightly: "Old friend, long time no see."
The swords and guns roared, and the grass and trees in the mountain stream moved by themselves without the wind. He jumped onto the war horse, and the war horse raised its hooves and let out a long neigh. The sound spread melodiously and resounded throughout the valley. Everyone was startled by the roar of the war horse.
They ran out of the door and looked around, whispering to each other, and there were many discussions. The chickens didn't crow, the dogs didn't bark, and the whole world was in a state of silence.
Looking back, Lao Yin and the shopkeeper raised their bowls in the distance, and he smiled, like the gentle breeze in the spring. The war horse suddenly moved away and disappeared at the end of Xiaoyang River in a few breaths.
Miss Mu also heard the sound of a war horse neighing. She gently put down the book in her hand, her eyes flashed, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she whispered: "Isn't the golden scale a thing in the pool?"
He left, leaving only Lao Yin and the shopkeeper.
"He left, you should leave too." Lao Yin coughed lightly and said calmly.
"We're all gone, what about you?"
"You are all gone, there must be someone staying here."
"Thanks a lot."
"Hypocritical." Lao Yin scolded with a smile. The shopkeeper laughed loudly, jumped up to the beam, took a sword from the beam, stuck it on his waist, and said with a big smile: "Let's go."
"Get out of here!"
"This tavern is given to you, but I'll keep the wine in the backyard and don't drink it secretly!"
"He's right, the wine you brew is so bad that even dogs won't drink it."
"Haha, the three of us drank."
"We are not dogs." Lao Yin said with a smile.
The shopkeeper didn't look back, he just waved his hand casually, strode like lightning, not much slower than a war horse, and soon disappeared.
A loud singing voice came from the mountain pass:
The cold wind whistled and the snow fell;
The long road is long, walking along with singing;
Looking back, looking at the stars;
The past is like smoke and clouds
After a long, long time, the neighing of the horse gradually subsided. Since then, a legend has been left in Shangyang Village.
The war horse followed the Xiaoyang River and soon reached the mouth of the river where it intersected with the Dayang River. In the past, he always thought that this stream was very long, but he did not expect it to be so short. It was so short that he had no time to miss it and it ended.
I don't know when there were many knights riding horses like him around me. One by one, I don't know where they came from, and joined the ranks. By the Dayang River, there were already thousands of them, with spears, sabers, and bows.
The crossbow shone with cold light, making the sun above its head lose its color.
Going eastward along the Dayang River, he found the girl's husband's family where she had first married. When the war horses flattened the city tower and rode into the city, the county magistrate hid under the table and shivered, not even daring to say a word.
When I saw the girl, she was fat and had a child, a boy and a girl. The boy was older and the girl was smaller. The cavalry officers and soldiers surrounded this well-to-do family. The husband's family had pale faces and looked at that appearance in horror.
The handsome man dismounted and came.
He looked at the girl with a warm smile. The girl protected the two dolls and looked at him warily. Although she was very scared, she still stubbornly protected the children behind her. Standing beside him was a steady and mature man. If he only looked at
Her appearance seemed to be several years older than him, and the two people's hands were tightly held together, which somehow made him feel a little dazzled.
He didn't speak, just looked at the girl. The girl's initial fear turned to suspicion, and then with confusion, she slowly merged him with the figure in her young memory, and timidly called out: "Dad?"
"
He smiled, like a spring breeze, without any murderous aura.
"father"
He is still laughing.
"Dad!" the girl cried, broke away from the man's hand, and threw herself into his arms, beating him with her hands while crying. He gently held the girl in his arms and looked at the helpless man apologetically. At this time, in the house,
Only then did I feel relieved, but the expression on my face was very strange and also revealed fear.
The girl finally stopped crying, pulled the baby, and asked them to call him grandpa. He was at a loss, and soon regained his clarity. The baby just looked at this grandpa who was younger than his father curiously, blinked,
I don’t know why my mother is crying so sadly.
A cavalryman came over, tapped the two children between their eyebrows, bowed slightly, and led his soldiers out of the city to set up camp.
The girl would cry and laugh sometimes, never leaving his side, just like when she was a child, she would pester him to carry her down the river, carry her up the mountain, and hold her to catch birds with colorful tails.
He stayed at the girl's husband's house for three days. During the three days, in addition to visiting his relatives and elders, he spent most of the time with the girl. He listened quietly to the girl telling her every detail of leaving Shangyang Village. After telling her, he also
If you want her to say it again, remember every word and every word.
The county magistrate wanted to pay a visit, but he glanced at the cavalry soldiers stationed in front of the house from a distance, swallowed his saliva, and walked away dejectedly, not even daring to enter.
Three days later, he left.
The girl cried and chased her for a long distance, shouting: "Dad, don't blame your mother."
Complain? I stopped complaining a long time ago.
Thousands of miles away, the royal city and the imperial residence, with singing and dancing birds, silk and bamboo orchestras, wine pools and meat forests, are just like the dynasty in my memory.
The whole dynasty was full of civil and military cups, and it was a joyous scene. Today, the emperor's favorite concubine is pregnant with a dragon heir. The emperor is very happy and entertains all the ministers. The happy ones are very happy, and the unhappy ones are also happy.
Speaking of the emperor's favorite concubine, she is astonishingly beautiful. She is said to be the most beautiful woman in the entire kingdom. However, she has heard her name for a long time but has never seen her. Even now she is wearing a veil and dressed elegantly.
The clothes are decent but not matching. They are cold and cold, which is incompatible with the lively palace banquet.
But no one made irresponsible remarks, and those who dared to speak were killed by the emperor. His love for this imperial concubine had reached the point of obeying her every word.
The happiest thing today is the emperor. He drank a lot of wine, but it was not enough. He still had to drink. The only drawback was that the princess did not drink and had not touched a drop of wine. Also, her health was important.
Suddenly, there were soldiers from the imperial army outside the palace reporting urgently that there was an enemy cavalry attack thousands of miles away.
What a disappointment, what a disappointment! Emperor Long Yan was so angry that he wanted to drag out the soldiers who were delivering the order and kill him. Fortunately, there were still sensible ministers who told the emperor that although the concubine's happy event was a big one, state affairs could not be delayed, so they sent troops to intercept them.
Okay, no need to spoil your interest.
A little later, soldiers came to report that the invading enemy was no more than four thousand. The ministers smiled and felt relieved after mentioning it.
