Chapter 67: A City of Smoke and Rain
"What Brother Nie has learned is really a thousand miles in a day, and a certain family is deeply ashamed!" Xie Laohu looked at the fallen leaves and flowers, and the branches and flowers that had been trimmed by the two of them with swords, actually formed various shapes. The pen fun pavilion couldn't help but put away the sword in his hand www.biquge.info, and looked at the more sturdy and mature Nie Xiaoqi in front of him with a smile.
In a short period of time, he has gradually changed from a brave and loyal family member to a somewhat introverted man, without a look of inferiority and inferiority, and a little more confident and calm. Thinking of his enviable master, Xie Laohu had to sigh about the opportunities in life.
People on the rivers and lakes may not be able to find a good master in their lifetime, and some people may not be able to find a good apprentice in their lifetime.
And Mr. Guiyuan and Nie Xiaoqi seem to be the long-cherished wish of the previous life, and they are waiting for each other's appearance in this life.
Nie Xiaoqi has passed the best age for cultivation, Mr. Guiyuan washed his marrow and changed his pulse, and even gave him empowerment, so that a person who has never practiced internal family skills, in a short period of time, not only from expanding the pulse, practicing qi, solid, to building the foundation, actually made Nie Xiaoqi a cultivator of internal family skills, and his future achievements are naturally promising.
Xie Laohu's eyes were naturally red, and the precious medicinal materials that Mr. Guiyuan had accumulated for decades were all used on Nie Xiaoqi. He did not hesitate to spend his own cultivation to lay the best cultivation foundation for Nie Xiaoqi. Xie Laohu naturally knew that Mr. Guiyuan's empowerment was much better than the achievements that a master who had been cultivating normally for twenty years might get. Looking at Nie Xiaoqi, who was a little restrained standing in front of him, Xie Laohu was more hopeful in his heart.
Nie Xiaoqi was obviously a little excited in his eyes, and he and Xie Laohu had been practicing swords for nearly half an hour, and the two of them had no room for real swords and real swords, although they were not fighting to the death, but they also did their best, and the results were almost evenly divided.
Nie Xiaoqi naturally knew Xie Laohu's force value, that was a character who could compete with his former master, Nie Huzi, and Nie Xiaoqi was even more excited when he thought of this. But he seemed to remember something, his face became indifferent again, he held his sword and hugged his fist at Xie Laohu, and said softly: "Since this period of time, with the help of Brother Xie, a certain family will grow under the teaching of the teacher and the supervision of Brother Xie, and the one who is ashamed should be the younger brother, there are not many tasks assigned by the master before leaving, but the younger brother still has not completed it well!" ”
"Sure enough, it is a famous teacher who produces a high apprentice, and Brother Nie has a good master like Mr., which should be a blessing from several generations of cultivation! Even if you teach some, you can benefit us for a lifetime, let alone teach you day and night. During this time, Mr. also gave advice to a certain family, but unfortunately the task of a certain family here has been completed, even in this Daozhou City is also the last day, but there is rarely a chance to accompany Brother Nie to practice in the future, a certain family is very envious of Brother Nie has Mr. This master! ”
Nie Xiaoqi also slowly put away his sword, and said with some reluctance on his face: "The little brother knows that there is a banquet in the world, but I still want to thank Brother Xie for taking care of the little brother during this time!" He solemnly saluted Xie Laohu again.
Xie Laohu did not evade, looked at Nie Xiaoqi with a smile, and when he saw Nie Xiaoqi's expression recover, Fang said: "Brother Nie don't have to worry, Mr. was entrusted by his old friend and General He to go to Yongzhou to preside over the overall situation, which should be for the livelihood of the world." Mr. Xiang has lived in seclusion here for decades, and now he can come out of the mountain again, because he has something in mind. A certain family privately speculated that it might be for the Nie brothers! ”
Seeing Nie Xiaoqi's face surprised, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Nie, imagine what else can move Mr. now, and what is worthy of Mr. getting involved in the red dust again!" So Brother Nie should be happy, should be happy, and can't live up to Mr.'s hard work! And since a certain family has followed His Majesty, it has won His Majesty's attention, and it does not hesitate to teach the royal mastery! A certain family has nothing to repay, and will run around for His Majesty, but a certain family believes that there will be a day when they will reunite with Brother Nie, because Brother Nie has also joined the secret party! What's more, Mr. also promised General He that he would let Brother Nie follow the army around for training, and it must not be long before we will meet soon! ”
Nie Xiaoqi looked at Xie Laohu, his eyes were a little red, and he watched him turn around in a dashing manner, waving his hand at him, and his figure gradually disappeared.
Look up at the white clouds, look down at the thin water.
Standing on the edge of the stream, looking at the still majestic Nie Family Fort, Nie Xiaoqi had already walked out of the sorrow of Xie Laohu's departure.
Wearing a light robe left by Mr. Guiyuan, Nie Xiaoqi is still a little unaccustomed to this kind of dress, he has been used to wearing small clothes since he was a child, and he grew up wearing casual clothes.
But thinking of what Xie Laohu said, Nie Xiaoqi couldn't help but stand with his hands in the demeanor of Mr., he was already smart, he learned eight or nine points of similarity, and his young face was even more radiant. Mr. is a famous hermit in the world, although he came from a humble background, but now he is a closed disciple of Mr., representing Mr.'s face, Nie Xiaoqi can't help but straighten up.
Because he was born in the Nie family since he was a child, his name has always been called Xiao Qi, if nothing else, in another ten years, it may be Nie Qi, and then Lao Qi. Mr. Guiyuan had thought of this a long time ago, so before leaving, he gave Nie Xiaoqi a big name, named Nie Qi.
When I came to Niejiabao again, it was already a matter of fact.
On the same day, the Southern Han army captured Daozhou City, and Daozhou City finally changed its owner. Daozhou assassin Zhang Wenxuan was escorted to Xingwangfu, Daozhou Sima Hongfeng initially wanted to flee for his life, but finally was captured and still resisted, he was a literati after all, and only half of his life was left. According to the meaning of Liu Jixing, the emperor of the Lingnan Han Kingdom, these prisoners of war needed to be escorted to Xingwangfu for trial according to their personal status, so Hong Feng and Zhang Wenxuan were escorted away one after the other.
Many people also knew the background of the Tiger Hall and the identity of the hall master Xie Laohu, and everyone thought that the power of Daozhou City must belong to him. But what no one expected was that after Daozhou City changed hands, it was Nie Huzi who benefited the most.
When the Lingnan Han army attacked Daozhou City, Nie Jiabao was confronting Zhang Wenxuan, and later after the Han army entered Daozhou City, he took the initiative to open the door to welcome the Han army, and also maintained the stability of Daozhou City with Menghutang. So, after obtaining the permission of Liu Xuanxing, the generalissimo of Guizhou Prefecture, General Ning Yuan, the general of the unified army this time, appointed Nie Yuan, the lord of Niejiabao, as the head of Daozhou City, and Shi Feng Qingquan, the governor of Guiwang's Mansion, knew the state.
It's just that Feng Qing followed King Gui to Guizhou, and it was really not close to Daozhou, and it was not a matter of a day or two to rush to Daozhou City. There are no other officials in Daozhou City today, only a literati named Jin Ying sent by He Guo to assist Nie Yuan in intervening in ordinary affairs.
This Jin Ying is a student of the Lingnan Han Guozi Law School, and one of the staff officers who followed He Guo with the army, and directly assumed the responsibility after the capture of Daozhou City. He Guo handed everything over to Nie Yuan, in fact, Nie Yuan is now the biggest lord of Daozhou City after He Guo evacuated.
Nie Huzi's name Nie Yuan!
He knew that after Nie Xiaoqi was accepted as a disciple by Mr. Guiyuan, and knew that Xie Laohu was accompanying him every day, he knew that Nie Jiabao had the status he had now, and he might be inseparable from Nie Xiaoqi. took the initiative to take advantage of his own name as the head of Daozhou City to eliminate Nie Xiaoqi's slavery.
Mr. Guiyuan was noncommittal about this matter, but when Nie Huzi said that he wanted to give the deed, Mr. Guiyuan did not agree, saying that he didn't want anyone to disturb his life. Nie Huzi stepped down the stage, thanked the tiger for the message, and asked Nie Xiaoqi to go back to Nie Jiabao to get things when he had time.
Hearing what Nie Huzi meant, Nie Xiaoqi was still very excited, although he grew up in the Nie family, but as a domestic slave for several generations, he could remove this brand on himself, which was a happy thing after all. Xie Laohu told Nie Xiaoqi before leaving, the Nie family has no big traitors, and now they have a bit of momentum in Daozhou City, as long as they help the government manage Daozhou City well, the family will prosper in the future.
Under the influence of Xie Laohu, Nie Xiaoqi joined the secret party, because it was said that Mr. and the leader of the secret party were friends. This time, General He Guo led the troops to Yongzhou, so he asked Mr. to go to suppress the formation. Nie Xiaoqi achieved the results of the task assigned by Mr., and naturally he could also rush to Yongzhou, so he first thought of coming to Nie Jiabao to say goodbye.
Approaching the majestic fort gate, across the moat in front of the fort, I saw that the fort gate was actually open, but there were a few people standing at the door wearing soldier clothes. Seeing his former home, Nie Xiaoqi couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Little Seven!" I actually saw an acquaintance, and it was Nie Lian, the second housekeeper of Nie Jiabao's outer fort.
He looked happy, and sat in the middle of several soldiers in high spirits, where there was a wooden step, and when he saw Nie Xiaoqi, he immediately stood up. took Nie Xiaoqi's hand and looked left and right, and said happily: "Master, I am looking forward to your coming back every day!" Every day, I ordered a few families to wait at the gate of the fort to see if they were lucky! ”
Nie Xiaoqi was also very happy, holding Nie Lian's hand tightly, thinking that he was slashed like a dog because of the Nie family's momentum a month ago. Thinking about whether he still has a life to survive, now he is not only accepted as a disciple by Mr., but also can get rid of his slavery. Of course, he was happy to see this Nie Lian, and because Nie Lian was Nie Zhong's younger brother.
As the most important people in Nie Xiaoqi's life, Nie Zhong is not only Nie Xiaoqi's elder, but also Nie Xiaoqi's master of kung fu. On the same day, Mr. Guiyuan said that if he gave Nie Xiaoqi an empowerment, if it weren't for Nie Xiaoqi's strong physique, he might have started to soak in medicine every day, and Nie Xiaoqi would not be able to hold on, let alone the later Shu Jing Tuomai.
Nie Xiaoqi is very grateful to Nie Zhong, not only for Xianglan's love for him, but also for Nie Zhong's selfless teaching to him. Although it was said at the beginning, he was ordered by Nie Huzi to teach the Nie family to give birth to people and strengthen the Nie family's power. Later, he really taught what he had learned, which was how lucky Nie Xiaoqi was.
If there were no professors from Nie Zhong, there would be no cause and effect for Nie Xiaoqi to accompany Nie Wuyi, and Nie Xiaoqi would not have met Mr. Guiyuan. So Nie Xiaoqi was grateful to Nie Zhong, and seeing this Nie Lian, who had watched him grow up since he was a child, his heart became a little closer.
Nie Lian said that he wanted to lead Nie Xiaoqi in, Nie Xiaoqi could feel the politeness in Nie Lian's tone, and for some reason, Nie Xiaoqi felt this polite distance. I was faintly sad in my heart, and I knew that Nie Lian must have known something. To put it bluntly, although he is just a subordinate in the Nie family, Nie Xiaoqi has undoubtedly always regarded the Nie family as his own. Now that there is a distance between the family and themselves, it is indeed a little uncomfortable, is it really different from them?
It's really different! Aren't people changing! What's more, the change of people is huge, and Nie Xiaoqi's identity change is unacceptable to ordinary people for a while.
However, Nie Xiaoqi was quickly relieved, because during this period of time, with Xie Laohu, his thinking had changed drastically. Xie Laohu told Nie Xiaoqi about the purpose of the secret party and his vision for the future, and Nie Xiaoqi knew that he had found his ideal.
People who stand at different heights should do different things, even if they are people at different heights, they still belong to an ordinary person. With an enlightened mindset, everything can be done.
Nie Xiaoqi felt a little sad about Nie Lian's politeness, but he knew that this mentality might be difficult to reverse, so he didn't think much about it. Saying that he was just going home, so that Nie Lian didn't have to be so polite and rusty, just let himself enter the castle, Nie Lian saw Nie Xiaoqi insisting, and there seemed to be a little more comfort in his eyes. looked at Nie Xiaoqi, who was dressed in civilian clothes, although he was dressed ordinarily, he obviously thought that he was not the little guy standing in front of him that day, so he had to say that he would inform the master and went in a hurry.
deliberately found a way with few people, but they will still meet a lot of acquaintances, these people who are also subordinates see Nie Xiaoqi, the most is the surprise after surprise, they don't seem to know the transformation of Nie Xiaoqi's identity, and they will still laugh and scold with Nie Xiaoqi. When they saw that Nie Xiaoqi seemed to be in trouble, they happily and politely asked a few words, and Nie Xiaoqi finally got rid of these people and walked to the backyard of the castle.
"Miss, look at it, this is sent by the second young master of the Cai family, and it is really the Jianghua Wang clan! I'm afraid that this volume of women's history is the ancestral heirloom of the Cai family! "A two-girl girl in a pothos shirt, dressed as a maid, but she looks lively and cute.
She stood in front of the table in the attic, and the desk was all prepared. She was carefully opening the bamboo slips on the desk, and the bamboo slips were densely written with seal characters, she obviously didn't know it, but looking at this ancient scroll, she also let out an exclamation.
She looked at the bamboo slips and saw that she couldn't see anything, but her eyes looked at a girl sitting at the window, half-leaning on the windowsill, a girl dressed in a crimson tulle palace dress.
This girl looks quiet and delicate, but her body is attractive and healthy, and her pair of red phoenix eyes are also very beautiful. She glanced at the maid in front of the table, and said angrily: "Jianghua Cai's family, although it has been powerful in Daozhou City over the years, but in the past, they were descendants of Yaoman, where would they be heirlooms of poetry, calligraphy, and etiquette!" Even if there is such a female history, I don't know which generation was collected by literati collectors. It's just that you have a lot of things, and you want to bring over the things that people show off! ”
She looked at the sky outside the window, her face suddenly darkened, as if she remembered something, looked at the maid and continued: "Call you troublesome, if Xiao Qi is here, tell him to take a horse whip immediately, and whip you hard for a long time!" As she said this, her face suddenly relaxed, and her face was as charming as a blooming flower.
The maid obviously knew that this young lady was telling a joke, but as soon as she heard this, her face actually changed, and she looked at the young lady by the window, and lowered her head gently, and her eyes were moist.
"Although the third master is healed from his injuries, the last time the young lady asked the slave to send medicine over, he was blocked from the outer door and was not allowed to enter. is still locked up in his garden, and the grandmothers on the other side of the third room have been grounded by the master for half a year. The maid raised her head, her eyes were already red, she looked at this young lady, and said with some excitement: "There has been no news of Xiao Qi, I don't know if he ,,,,,, him or not, he is gone!" She choked up.
The young lady's eyes were also a little red, and she couldn't help but look out, and when she thought of that figure, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Suddenly, the young lady's body trembled, and she stared blankly at the courtyard under the attic. On the side of the lotus pond rockery, a person stood there quietly, looking up at this side, smiling at himself. She got up suddenly, her whole body trembled, and she looked at the person closely, she had never realized that this insignificant person was so important in her heart.
That's right, it's him, it's him! That teenager who always has a smile in front of him, a teenager who can do anything for himself! Since childhood, he has always been stupidly following behind him, and gradually growing into a teenager, who leads his horse and holds the reins every day.
Tears flowed!
The beauty has tears! It's like a dream!
Xie Laohu once said that after experiencing life and death, it is easiest to judge the weight of a person who weighs himself!
Nie Xiaoqi decided to come back, because that figure had appeared in his dream, and he didn't know how many times, although Xie Laohu said it was cruel, but Nie Xiaoqi decided to come back and take a look.
Just like the master said, suffering is a process that must be experienced in life. Although Nie Xiaoqi knew that the pain might follow immediately, maybe he was prepared, Nie Xiaoqi was even more indifferent in his heart. Thinking of the pandan who can give everything for herself, how can she not be the same as her!
However, seeing these two lines of tears, Nie Xiaoqi knew that his life was enough!
When holding this soft body in his arms, Nie Xiaoqi was like a dream! Quietly looking at these eyes, which had appeared countless times in his dreams, Nie Xiaoqi hugged the person in his arms tightly, as if he was afraid of losing it in an instant.
"Hmm!"
The fragrance is full of nose, but the beauty is already panting!
"Is that you? The slave family didn't dream! There was a slight throbbing in the girl's eyes, stretching out the soft soft wattle, gently stroking the young man's angular face, his left hand tightly hugged the young man's neck, and the plump white and tender chest tightly squeezed the young man's strong body, a youthful impulse, so that the two of them hugged tighter.
The petite maid stopped at the door, looked at the two people who hugged each other tightly, and her face was full of excitement at first, and gradually there was a little more imperceptible misery, and tears poured out in a short time.
I love him! But he had her in his heart!
Nie Xiaoqi was completely intoxicated with this joy, and the young man's impulse made him even instinctively want to rub the person in front of him into his body. Looking at the girl's shy but passionate eyes, she couldn't help but tremble and approached the distance, and the two lips were only one finger away.
"Third Miss, Xiao Qi is back!"
The girl's eyes flashed with a hint of shyness, but the charm of the opposite sex made her soft, and her whole body was held by the boy powerfully. She hooked the young man's neck tightly, and let out a shallow sigh, and the two of them joined together.
It's rare to get drunk in life!
Zhuang Die's dream!
The sky seemed to be raining lightly, and the group hurriedly walked through the courtyard and walked quickly to the backyard, led by Nie Huzi, who was dressed in official robes.
A happy face is Nie Huzi's current look, he is also a big man, thanks to his own choice, in this war-torn world, he is like a fish in water. He knew that if he wanted to gain a long-term foothold in this era, he must have a backer. Although I don't know what it will be like in the future, being able to have my own power and foundation is undoubtedly a capital that can be relied on in any era.
At first, I thought that Xie Laohu would be my fierce rival in life, but I didn't expect that I was just a chess piece in front of others. Nie Huzi suddenly woke up to the fact that the world was so big, and he was just a drop in the ocean.
I just congratulated myself that there was a talent under my door, but I didn't expect that my future journey might depend on my own subordinate. Nie Huzi did not feel jealous and uneasy, but felt that his father's foresight back then, and his family's clan law, treating his clansmen well, even if he was just a subordinate, could change the family.
Don't think about it, it's already in the courtyard of the fifth brother.
saw his niece's maid Xianglan standing at the door to greet him, and Nie Huzi couldn't help but look at Nie Zhong, who was far away behind him.
"Xiao Qi said that he will always be a member of the Nie family, but ,,,,,,!" Seeing her grandfather coming over, Xianglan's eyes were still a little red, and she suddenly knelt down to Nie Huzi: "He said a lot of rebellious things, please forgive him!" ”
Nie Huzi waved his hand to stop Nie Zhong from stepping forward, leaned over to help the frightened Xianglan, and actually said softly in a faint voice: "He is a member of the Nie family, but he will not be in the future, because the Nie family is too young, Xiao Qi is a person with great ambitions, how can the Nie family keep him!" ”
Although Xianglan seems to understand whether she understands or not, she faintly hears that it is not a bad thing, because the grandfather on the side said with a happy face: "I don't know anything, why don't I take the master in and see Xiao Qi!" Nie Zhong had been relaxing for a long time, and suddenly heard Nie Huzi say that Nie Xiaoqi had come back to Nie Jiabao, so he naturally followed immediately.
Nie Huzi knew that Nie Xiaoqi and Xie Laohu communicated day by day, and after worshipping the famous teacher, he secretly found a few old people to explain, and even chatted with Nie Zhong privately, meaning nothing more than to let Nie Xiaoqi remember the good of the Nie family. At this time, Nie Xiaoqi came back, and Nie Zhong understood the purpose of Nie Huzi in Nie Jiabao with a famous deed, no matter what, Nie Xiaoqi was out of breath, which was a good thing for him after all.
The fifth brother of Nie Huzi also died early, and the family was not prosperous. There was no one in the backyard, Nie Huzi didn't let everyone follow, and brought Nie Zhong in, after all, there were still many diners in the fort.
Turning around a large courtyard and entering a garden, the gravel path stretches into the courtyard, and the sound of flowing water is heard. Here is also the river water brought in, through the entire Nie Jiabao, diverted in each courtyard, but it is more meaningful.
You can see a small stone bridge in front of you, and a person is standing on it.
Looking at the confused smoke and rain in the distance, the stone bridge under your feet is majestic, and the flowing water under the bridge is immortal.
The flowing water passes slowly, and in the faint smoke and rain, it looks like an excellent ink. That person is quietly embedded in this painting, and the whole person seems to melt into this scenery, in this beautiful and quiet painting.
What can't be carried is a lot of sorrow! The encounters and experiences of life are like rivers that don't know where their source is. I don't know where it came from, but after all, it will flow eastward like a river!
There are dozens of springs and autumns in life, and how many people can understand it thoroughly! How many people will think about it!
Even if there is, isn't it sentimental! Or maybe it's boring! And a few people can understand this! A few people want to understand!
Life is like a pot of turbid wine!
Drinkers know for themselves!
Wine lovers will taste the cause and effect, feel the fun and taste!
People who are tired of alcohol, smell it and stay away, how to taste!
The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, and the late Tang Dynasty could also uphold its aftertaste. The people on the bridge are picturesque, and the hearts of the viewers are picturesque.
Hurried as the memory of the past, faint as the Tian family after the rain.
A city, left for one person.
One man, one city is left behind.
It was the city that made the people perfect!
Or man is the witness of a city!
