The gloomy clouds hanging over Jiangning finally dispersed, and the world took on a new look.
Jiangning is still Jiangning.
As winter passes and spring comes, old branches sprout new shoots.
It's spring again in March, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River is growing and orioles are flying.
The soft willow branches sprout new buds and are lightly green. When the spring breeze blows, the soft willow branches sway gently like a colorful dancer.
The water of the Qinhuai River is as smooth as a mirror. Occasionally, on the bank of the willow, a group of ducks, or perhaps white geese, will be driven into the river, flapping their wings, and swimming along, picking up the blossoming water huā.
By the river, the women who came out early gathered together in a playful manner, rolling up their sleeves and exposing their jade-white forearms. They talked about Jiangning's recent romance and patted their wet clothes vigorously.
There is an extremely peaceful atmosphere in his soft smile and soft words.
On the Qinhuai River, which was slightly wrinkled by the wind, the merchant girl's melodious singing lingered and dispersed in the light mist like a gauze.
In the spring of March, catkins are flying.
The catkins flying all over the sky, like the white snow in winter, fall lightly and without leaving a trace on the bluestone road, on the light yellow grass, and on the quietly flowing Qinhuai River.
The air is filled with the fresh smell of earth, and the sweet smell of willow branches is intoxicating.
Along the river, patches of sprouting grass are connected together, stretching to the outside of the city and even beyond.
The weather is fine, the sun is shining, birds are chirping, and catkins are flying.
This is an outing season.
Outside the city, countless well-dressed students and ladies were smiling and humming, walking in groups or pairs on the grassy fields in the wild, talking about poetry, the wind, the snow and the moon.
"Hey, Brother Zhengtai, look at that red hillside. It's so beautiful. How about we go there and have some fun?"
A student listened to his companions reciting good verses, but he was not sure. For a moment, he felt a little restless. While he was thinking hard, he inadvertently saw the hillside not far away, which was blooming like fire and red.
, said happily immediately.
"You're just playing around, what do you know? It was in the cemetery 1 that the Jiangning garrison established a month ago to commemorate the soldiers who died fighting the Japanese. There were still the corpses of thousands of Japanese people lying there.
Loyal brother of five hundred sergeants of the Jiangning garrison! Where are you going to play? Do you want to die?" Brother Zhengtai changed his face when he heard this, turned around, glared at him fiercely, and scolded him for being ignorant.
"If that's really the case, then forget it. It's a serious crime to disturb the sleep of loyal friends!!" The scholar didn't turn his face after being scolded. He just took a deep look at the cemetery and sighed in his heart.
.
The scholar also knew a little about what Brother Zhengtai said. However, that day, he happened to be lingering in the Qinhuai Hua boat. He could only hear the killing shouts outside all night long, but he did not know the inside story. He thought it was the official who had been killed again.
Yes, I was arrested.
After a glass of wine, he fell asleep in the fragrant boudoir and stayed there all night.
"If you really want to see the scenery, brother, there is a good place to go!" Brother Zhengtai looked away from the cemetery, rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile.
"Oh, it's true. Brother Zhengtai, hurry up and tell me!" Upon hearing this, the scholar's eyes lit up and he urged impatiently.
"These days, the sun is shining brightly and the weather is pleasant. There is a place where all the ladies and famous ladies hang out. Brother Ertou, do you want to go and see it?"
"Oh, there is such a wonderful place?"
"Oh, you'll know when you go there!"
"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Shota, to lead the way!"
"Walk!"
The group of people left gracefully, leaving behind the scent of rouge and pink powder that lingered in the air. Also, the sultry verses were blown away by the wind.
An old farmer walking by with a hoe on his shoulder raised his head, glanced towards the west, saw the cemetery surrounded by fresh flowers, raised his wrinkled hands, wiped his eyes, cried and sighed and called out:
"Erlang!"
The spring breeze swept across. In the fields, the grass was luxuriant, like waves bullying.
On the hillside in the west, a garden full of red flowers blooms quietly.
Among the flowers and flowers, a heavy tombstone stood there quietly.
Under the tombstone, there is a colorful bouquet, some purple, some red, and some white.
These flowers guard the solemn and heavy tombstones, adding a little life to the cemetery.
Looking up along the bunch of flowers, you can see a tombstone carved out of black stone.
On the back are the names of five hundred fallen soldiers. On the front of the tombstone is the name of the most talented man in Jiangning, the youngest imperial master of the Great Zhou Empire, who personally practiced astronomy and wiped off the dust on it.
Under this cold and heavy tombstone, lie the loyal souls of five hundred soldiers!
They stood firm and were brave and fearless. They resisted the invasion and fought to the death against Japan.
They used their blood and lives to realize the glory of the military.
Jiangning has also achieved peace and tranquility. Now, they lie here quietly and sleep here.
Wanderers living in foreign lands and wandering people, when you pass by, please stop your steps, brush away the cobwebs and dust on the tombstone, and offer a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
Tell these loyal souls who sleep here.
You have not forgotten them!"
The spring breeze blows, and the flowers are in full bloom. In the fiery red sky all over the field, the tombstone stands quietly. Quietly overlooking the land of Jiangning, it has not changed since ancient times.
"Commander, why don't you come with us?"
Outside the city, the spring flowers are blooming and the grass is green and green.
Chu Xuliang, who was promoted and made a fortune, did not have a proud smile. Instead, he only had deep resentment.
At this time, he was standing at the gate of the city reluctantly, looking at Lu Heng resentfully, his mouth trembling, as if it was a farewell between lovers.
This guy was promoted three levels in a row by the emperor because of his meritorious service in fighting against the Dongying people and for exposing Wei Jian's collusion with the Turks.
He was directly promoted from the fifth-rank Jiangning general to the sixth-rank Zhonglang general.
Along with the commendation order, there are also transfer orders from the imperial court. Chu Xuliang and the Snow Wolf Camp who have been trained by Lu Heng for a month. Chu Xuliang will first go to Tokyo to receive the title, and then lead the team to Taiyuan Prefecture to wait.
His will be the high-ranking officials of the imperial court and their generous salaries, as well as the smoky northern battlefield.
However, what made Chu Xuliang unhappy was that he originally wanted to go with the military advisor, but unexpectedly, the military advisor smiled and shook his head and told him to go ahead. He still had some trivial matters to deal with.
Alas, how lonely this journey would be without the company of the military advisor!
Chu Xuliang glanced at Lu Heng resentfully and muttered in a low voice, looking very frustrated.
Everyone onlookers shivered and had goosebumps all over their bodies when they saw Chu Xuliang, a tall man of 1.9 meters tall, showing such an artificial look of affection for his son and daughter.
"Go away, are you talking like that?" Lu Heng also felt numb and his body couldn't help but tremble. He took a step back and stayed far away from this guy, and said with a smile and curse.
"Agui, I have to leave!" This guy Chu Xuliang is very abnormal today.
Until now, I lowered my head and seemed to be crying.
With that said, Chu Xuliang took a deep look at Agui and walked away reluctantly.
Seeing Chu Xuliang in such a distressed state, Agui swallowed his saliva and struggled to resist the urge to beat him up. He coughed, stepped forward, opened his arms, and wanted to comfort this tall and thick man.
However, when Agui opened his arms and was ready to welcome him.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xuliang suddenly squatted down slightly, stretched out his hand, and struck a monkey to steal a peach.
The smile on Agui's face suddenly froze. His face suddenly became as pale as a vegetable.
"Ouch
Agui's face turned green, he covered his little brother and squatted on the ground, covered in cold sweat.
"Chu Xuliang, you bastard!" Agui growled through gritted teeth.
"Haha, you thought I forgot. Last time you pinched me so hard that I couldn't even get out of bed for three days!" Chu Xuliang, who succeeded with one move, didn't dare to stay anymore. He got on his horse and left with a group of people.
"Haha, I finally succeeded, hahahaha!"
In the flying dust, Chu Xuliang's arrogant and proud laughter echoed.
Pinch for three days?
hiss
These two people are so interesting!
Lu Heng suddenly looked sideways when he heard Chu Xuliang's arrogant laughter in the dust.
He looked at Agui with strange eyes and secretly took a step back.
Agui, is it really so good?
Agui was spitting all over the place, pointing at the team that was leaving in the flying dust, and kept insulting them.
After scolding for a while, I found that the atmosphere around me was a little strange.
Turning around, I found that the young master had stood far away from me at some point and was looking at him strangely.
Agui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized when he saw the young master looking at him up and down.
Having been in Jiangning for so long, Agui also knows that the scholars in Jiangning have a good masculine style.
Seeing how handsome the young master is, it seems that he is the kind of person he is.
Agui was at a loss for words. He waved his hands anxiously and defended with profuse sweat, "Sir, you, listen to me, I'm not a fool. Chu Xuliang, you bastard, killed me!"
Seeing Agui's face turned red from holding back, Lu Heng resisted his numbness and walked away bravely. He stretched out his hand, put it on Agui's shoulder, coughed, and said against his will, "Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with loving someone.
Yes. I won’t tell Du Shiniang!”
After comforting Agui for a while, I saw Agui's mouth opened wide and drool dripping from his mouth.
Well, I should be very touched!
Lu Heng reached out and patted Agui on the shoulder, then quickly retracted his hand, secretly wiped it behind his back, coughed, and said in a pretentious voice, "Love knows no boundaries, it is indeed a truth.
