In addition to the escort of the Shengwu Army of several thousand people and some officials of Xingtai, there were also some Zhongzhou Shiliu and businessmen, and some representatives of students from academies and schools.

The general has always adhered to the principle of applying what he has learned, and at the same time advocating that the students of the museum should broaden their horizons and not blindly study hard in the library. All things in the world are learning, and the knowledge that can be summarized and refined in the way of the world is sometimes far more useful to people than simple scriptures and doctrines.

For this opportunity to follow the general on his western tour of Guanzhong, the students of the museum also attach great importance to it. And among them, including Wei Rail, who was born in Jingzhao Duling Webster.

Wei Liang was fortunate to go to Luoyang Xingtai in the fourth year of Qitai, and at that time he vowed to stay in the sky to cultivate his talents and compete with the young heroes in the sky. At that time, among the companions, there were many people who wished to do so, but they either couldn't bear homesickness, or they were repeatedly hit, and in the end, only Wei Liang stayed in the sky.

The British flow in the sky gathered, and Wei Liang was really not outstanding in it, and he stayed in Luoyang and insisted on listening to the Xinshi Pavilion to listen to the work, and finally got the favor of a museum scholar in the autumn of last year, and was able to become an official student of the Xinshi Pavilion.

This time, he followed the Yijia back to his hometown, not because of how good his schoolwork was, but because Guanzhong was his hometown, so he was exceptionally included by the librarian to take care of his fellow students.

Compared with the excitement of other classmates, Wei Liang did not feel too excited about this westward study tour, but was faintly resistant. He has lived in Guanzhong since he was a child, so he naturally knows what the countryside is like, and he is less curious.

In addition, in the hearts of ordinary young people, it is inevitable that there will be some fantasies of returning home, but he stayed in Tianzhong for nearly two years before he was barely able to enter the Xinshi Pavilion. There are many young people in the pavilion, and he is colorless, and he really doesn't want to return to his hometown with this face. But the curator offered him some kindness, but he couldn't refuse, so he could only reluctantly accompany him.

Along the way, especially after traveling through Hongnong, Wei Liang's mood gradually changed, because everything he saw along the way was very different from what he knew in the past. Especially after arriving in Chang'an, the huge changes are not exaggerated, it turns out that in less than two years, the countryside has undergone such a huge change from chaos to system!

After that, they followed the large army to settle in the old city of Chang'an on the south side of Weishui, and after staying for a long time, someone told that there were visitors to come, and after a little inquiry, they learned that they were also returning to their hometowns with them, because they came to meet them as soon as possible.

After thinking for a while, Wei Liang took leave from the accompanying pavilion and quietly walked out of the camp to meet his fellow villagers. So if so, there is also a little distraction, and I don't want my friends to talk to my classmates and then learn that he is just an ordinary member of the pavilion.

"Brother Wei, Brother Wei, we are here!"

Not long after Wei Liangxing left the camp, he saw a group of young men in fresh clothes and angry horses standing outside the camp, waving to him from a distance. Seeing those familiar faces, Wei Liang was also overjoyed for a while, strode up to greet him, and said with a smile, "You are well-informed, I didn't know about my return to my hometown this time, but I was actually detected by you!" ”

"Brother Wei, if you say that, you really underestimate the brothers! You are in the sky to promote my Kansai Shaoliu fame, we countrymen have not wasted their years in the past, and if you want to ask the accompanying people whether they have old knowledge, this kind of trivial matter is really difficult for us! ”

A group of teenagers and more than a dozen people, hearing Wei Liang say this, they all said triumphantly.

After hearing this, Wei Liang's heart couldn't help but be gloomy again, during this time in the sky, he could be regarded as deeply feeling the beauty of the characters in the sky, and it was not easy to live, so he really couldn't talk about fame.

However, the joy of reuniting with his companions soon diluted the frustration in his heart, and then he saw that the young men's robes and saddle horses were all full of Wang Shi logos, so he was curious: "Have you all joined the army?" ”

"Let's talk as we go."

The boy rushed out and mounted a horse on Wei Rail, and then roared towards a city on the south bank of Weishui. After a long absence, the teenagers were in high spirits, beating horses and rushing on the road, and they couldn't help but recall the happy years of going in and out together.

Shiji City on the east side of Chang'an City, when Du Hong stole Chang'an City in the old years, it was its base camp, and it was also one of the few small cities around the original Chang'an City that was still complete. After the recovery of Chang'an City, it was built again, and this military city was not abandoned, because it was close to Weishui, and it was transformed into a huge storage city.

As the situation in Guanzhong becomes more and more stable, the exchanges between merchants from all sides are gradually becoming more frequent, and Shijicheng has become a place where merchants gather to sit and sit here, and the prosperous place is even better than today's Chang'an New City. It is also one of the few places in this area of Chang'an that does not enforce the curfew, especially at night, when the lights are as bright as the stars, the crowds are like weaving, the music is noisy, and it has become a shining pearl on the three earths.

"Wei Qi returned home, and the brothers should congratulate themselves. Today, since he has entered Shiji City, Feng San should be the host! ”

Because of its prosperity, Shiji City has also become the most enjoyable place for the children of Jingzhao and other townsmen to play on weekdays, as soon as they get close to here, the bustling and noisy atmosphere will come to their faces, all kinds of warehouses and mansions are scattered, and the teenagers are also showing excitement on their faces, and they have coaxed and said.

"This is all what it should mean, and you brothers need to wake up deliberately!"

One of them, a slightly weak teenager, laughed and said, "I always cleaned up the Lupo Villa in my house a few days ago, and I will have fun today!" It's just that Seventh Brother Wei has seen prosperity in the sky for a long time, don't blame the brothers for being harsh and slack! ”

After hearing this, Wei Liang hurriedly waved his hand and said no, and at the same time looked at this prosperous city with a curious expression. It is true that he has seen the prosperity of the sky for a long time, and he has won a lot of this city, but he still remembers that when he left his hometown earlier, this city was not only the original solemn and dilapidated Shiji Soldier City, but also a tidal flat extending to the bank of Weishui, but now how can it have the appearance of being dilapidated and desolate earlier.

Through the gossip of his partners, Wei Liang learned a little about the various changes that had occurred in the countryside during the past period, especially the prosperity of this Shiji City.

As Feng San in the mouths of the teenagers, if he talks about his family background, he is just an inconspicuous township master on the south bank of Weishui. However, thanks to the earlier division of the township industrial field under Jingzhao Yin, nearly 100 hectares of tidal flats outside the dock wall were included in his family's name, which is now the city where the teenagers are based.

As merchants flocked here along Weishui, the value of the beach land under the name of the Feng family also soared, especially in the direction of the expansion of Shiji City, and now the Feng family has become one of the few wealthy families in Jingzhao County.

The young people are always well-dressed, and they naturally lack distractions when they get along, but when they talk about the prosperity of the Feng family, they can't hide their envy. And that Feng San was not reserved and arrogant because of this, he just waved his hand and said, "Compared with Brother Wei of Qiaoli Tianzhong Middle School and Lu Shilang, a brave general of the military government, what is the improvement of the small things that my family has obtained!" ”

A group of people talked and laughed into a garden villa, all kinds of catering matters in the garden villa have already been prepared, Wei Liang took a look, only to see that all kinds of meals are not inferior to what they see at the banquet in the sky, and they feel that the countryside has changed greatly, and it is very different from the poverty in the old years.

"Most of the brothers are also on the job, and Brother Wei is even more with the general, so you can have fun today, don't make a mistake because of alcohol, I let my family prepare less alcohol, but it's not stingy. When we have time in the coming day, let's get drunk again! ”

That Feng San took Wei Liang's arm and pressed him on the upper seat, and then sent his family members bright and delicious pastries of various colors, and when the others saw this, they cried out, "These Yugufang cakes, we usually come to visit, why don't you see Feng San and you take them out?" It's so thick and distinct! ”

When Feng San heard this, he laughed and said, "You gluttons, you have come to harass me since ten days, you have long been tired of seeing me, how can you compare to Brother Wei!" Yugufang Fayuan Jiangdong, it is said that it is a good food and drink in the forbidden garden, and a pound of cake will be worth two gold, so it is natural to keep it for rare guests! ”

Wei Liang sat in the middle of the seat, always smiling lightly, but his mood gradually declined, although his partners were still very enthusiastic about him, but it always made him feel a little alienated and strange, he also accidentally started the topic, and asked, "Yes, why don't you see Lu Shilang come to see me?" ”

If Shiro knew that Brother only asked him at this moment, he would probably be disappointed. He also specially asked me to tell Brother Wei that he didn't deliberately not come today, but the military government was going to be inspected before the general's car, and there were many affairs, and he couldn't get out until the middle of the night......"

Hearing the stories of his partners, Wei Liang realized that Lu Jingzong was now a high-ranking military commander at the level of the main building of the military government, and some of the other absentees were either in the military government or in the official office, and they were not allowed to withdraw.

After learning this, Wei Liang couldn't help but be even more disappointed, a few glasses of fruit wine in his stomach, his mind gradually became dizzy, and he lowered his head and sighed, "The old years were high-spirited, and they left the sky, only to say that from now on, there will be a different kind of heaven and earth to succeed." I have not been away from my hometown for a few years, and I can't do anything in the name of size, but I don't realize that the hometown is already a vicissitudes of life, and my peers and friends are all going before me. I am so honored to be treated by all of you today! ”

"What is to be ashamed of or not to be ashamed?"

As soon as Wei Rail's voice fell, a young man rushed in outside the door, it was their old Lu Jingzong, who came in a hurry, and the armor had not had time to change, and when he entered the room, he saw that Wei Rail had a slight wet mark in the corner of his eyes, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Why is Brother emotional?" I really didn't mean to be snubbing......"

"Shiro, if you say that, then I'm even more ashamed to be too ashamed! I'm just annoyed that I think too much of myself, and I can't bury myself in the heavens for the sages, but it's better for you to go hand in hand, each with its own color......"

After hearing this, Wei Liang hurriedly got up and explained, and then sighed with a bitter smile, "You may all say that I am quite proud in the sky, but in fact, in fact, I ...... Alas, I'm so ashamed of your friends' expectations! ”

Hearing Wei Liang say this, the atmosphere in the hall couldn't help but drop slightly, but Lu Jingzong glared at him after hearing this, and said loudly, "Wei Qi, you are my brother, how can there be a change in the realm." The sky gathers the four directions, and it is not easy to gain a foothold, and it is even more difficult to get ahead. If you can stand in the sky, you are the pride of our hometown. If you make this kind of sad and disgusted voice again, could it be that you have seen the glory of the sky for a long time, and you are no longer willing to share the table with us who live timidly in the countryside and dare not travel far? ”

When Wei Liang heard this, the guilt on his face became even stronger. When he was in the township, he could also be called a hero in the countryside, and even dared to leave his hometown with a group of partners to meet the king when the army was in turmoil in the old years, but he also had high expectations for himself.

After that, he made up his mind to stay in the sky, and he saw many young sages of the times, all of whom were not inferior to him and even showed off more. And he has been repeatedly frustrated even when he was admitted to the Xinshi Pavilion, and this time he even benefited from his hometown. After returning home, he saw that all of these old people had improved, which inevitably made him even more at a loss, doubting whether his decision was right or wrong.

He is not the kind of narrow-minded person, and he can't see that others are much better than himself, otherwise he would not have won the support of so many fellow villagers. But seeing Lu Jingzong, the little brother who followed him in previous years, is now in armor, and he looks like a brave adult, which inevitably reflects his downfall even more.

"Shiro...... Alas, I am even more ashamed that you still treat me so kindly. I've failed your ......."

"What to talk about, under the rule of Xingtai, the world is so prosperous, and people with ambition work hard, how can they have time to wait and see others! If you can be proud outside, we will naturally be happy for you, and we hope to get a little support. But even if you are down-and-out and unknown, if anyone looks down on you, then he is not worthy of being your Wei Qi's brother! It's just that you are stubborn and calculating, and you don't have to show your face at all, so that people can sympathize with your relatives, but it hurts the old relationship. ”

Lu Jingzong lifted off his pocket and saw the fruit wine on the table, when he glared at him, pointed at Feng San and shouted, "The rich are more and more stingy, your kid has a sweet brew in Liquan at home, and he dares to treat guests with this sour pulp, no wonder people are full of thoughts!" Quickly change the wine, let me see how much of Wei Qi still has some old glory! ”

"But Shiro, you ......"

Feng San was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he heard Lu Jingzong scold, "Even if I am fortunate enough to be summoned by the general in person later, it is my own mistake to deal with the failure of etiquette, why do you need to worry about my future, Feng San?" Could it be that only your family in the city has sweet wine, and if you don't take it, let's go to another house! ”

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Wei Liang also cleaned up his mood at this time, no longer troubled by distractions, and at the same time pointed at Lu Jingzong and scolded with a smile, "You come to take a look at this kid, but he is just a little master, and his spirit is better than supervision!" ”

After such twists and turns, the atmosphere in the banquet recovered, although everyone was also in reverie because of what Wei Liang said before, but as Lu Jingzong said, even if you have any thoughts, you really don't have to put them on your face to ruin the old feelings.

The group was in high spirits for a night drink, and suddenly there was a commotion in the courtyard, which couldn't help but disturb the interest, and everyone reprimanded Feng San in unison to ask Feng San if he didn't say that the garden had been closed, how could he still be harassed.

Feng San was also drunk at this time, and got up to inquire with a displeased face, but after a while, he returned with a dejected expression, and opened his mouth with an embarrassed face and said, "Can I discuss this matter with you?" Today, the city is busy, there is no place to spare, and it is suitable for distinguished guests to come here, can they be allowed to enter the park......

At this time, everyone was already drunk, and they couldn't help but be even more profligate, and when they heard Feng San say this, they became noisy. After all, Wei Liang was still old, got up and said, "We are deep friends, how can there be so many vulgar etiquette to ask." You can also have fun in the open air, but you have to explain it, so that the guests can tolerate me a little and wait for the noise. ”

"Brother Wei Gaoyi, I will invite you again to apologize on another day......"

When Feng San heard this, he shook his head again and again.

Lu Jingzong raised his hand and smashed a flower ball on Feng San's body, and scolded with a smile, "Where is all this nonsense, hurry up!" ”

When Feng San left, everyone continued to drink and have fun. Lu Jingzong was already a little drunk at this time, he took Wei Liang's hand and sighed, "In previous years, I respected Brother the most, the equipment is grand, if I can get this little support, it is also thanks to Brother Brother who led us to the east to welcome the king in the past years to meet the Lion of Fenwu Shen and be taken care of by him."

But brother, those sayings are boring...... As the saying goes, old feelings, since they are old, how can they always be new? How are you in the sky, how will our fellow villagers know, so the man should be powerful, whether it is true or not, I feel really sour when I see others snubbing my brother! ”

Wei Liang can see it at this time, in fact, after he said those words just now, he can clearly feel that these old friends are no longer as kind to him as they were at the beginning, and when he heard Lu Jingzong sigh at this moment, he patted Lu Jingzong's arm with his backhand, and said with a smile, "In the past two years, I have really been obsessed with waste, and now I have to rely on Shiro to comfort me."

The weather in the sky is big, it really makes people feel small, I was tired of it earlier, and it is also a long time of depression, and now I think about it, the township is fraudulently called Haoqiang, it is really not what I want, since the old year has decided to be so, how bitter and happy, should also bear it. After drinking today, I don't know how much old love I will have tomorrow, and I will be happy tonight. After tomorrow, how many people can walk together? ”

Feng Sanyi didn't come back for a long time after he went, and at the beginning, some people felt strange, or went out to check, but the people who left disappeared. Originally, this hall was still very noisy and noisy, but gradually the seats became vacant, and even the noise on the other side was gradually overwhelmed, and even Lu Jingzong, who was already drunk, noticed it.

"It seems that there is really a distinguished guest coming......"

Lu Jingzong laughed strangely in the banquet, stood up with his support on the pillar, and turned his head to look at the sparsely sparse hall with his body, and there was a fierce light in his eyes, "I want to see what kind of distinguished guest can make my hometown friends go away forever!" ”

Seeing this, Wei Liang didn't know that this kid was going to borrow wine to make trouble, he hurriedly got up and grabbed it, but was pushed back by Lu Jingzong waving his hand, "This, this kind of trivial matter, really...... It's really not a brother! Ah, brother is here, look at my armor, if this costume is fighting in the city...... Tomorrow the main will pick my skin! ”

When Wei Liang heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh even more, it turns out that you kid still know that it's not appropriate to do this!

However, he also drank a lot of wine, and his reaction was inevitably a little sluggish, after being pushed down on the table by Lu Jingzong, when he stood up again, the kid had already rushed out of the hall, and while running and taking off his armor, he hurriedly followed behind to pick it up, and before he finished picking it up, he heard a noisy fight in another courtyard.

Hearing the chaotic sound, Wei Liang knew that he was going to suffer, and when several Feng family servants passed by, he ordered these people to collect the clothes and armor that Lu Jingzong had dropped, and he hurried into the courtyard.

The movement of the fight lasted for a short time, and by the time Wei Rail arrived, the riot had subsided, and Wei Rail swept his eyes and saw that Lu Jingzong, who was only wearing a middle single, was hanging upside down on a willow tree, and vomit continued to flow from the corners of his mouth.

"Ah, brother, I, I'm planted...... I fell ...... myself."

Lu Jingzong was hung on a tree, and when he saw Wei Rail rushing over, he was still strong there, but with just one mouth, a large mouthful of wine and food sprayed on Wei Rail.

"It's too deceitful!"

Wei Liang also came up with wine at this time, looked around and saw that there was no shortage of partners who were at the same table just now, but he cowered and didn't dare to step forward, he took out a knife to cut the rope and put Lu Jingzong down, and then took out a bamboo cane from behind the tree and rushed towards the brightly lit hall, "Who is here, insult my brother!" ”

"Brother Wei can't ......"

"Hugh is presumptuous!"

Screams rang out from all sides, and several people rushed forward to stop Wei Rail, but they were all knocked over by him with a swing of his staff. It can be seen that he was able to lead the villagers for his own reasons in the old years, such as Lu Jingzong's kind of wine and rushed with his bare hands, and he didn't even know how to find a staff.

In a moment, Wei Liang rushed into the hall, and before his eyes could be fixed to see the situation clearly, he heard a surprised cry in the hall, "You are Wei Qi?" How do you ......"

After Wei Liang heard this, he followed the prestige, and saw a young man in the banquet standing up and looking at him, he fixed his eyes before he recognized him clearly, and he was also a little surprised and embarrassed, "Huan, Huan, young son?" ”

Just a moment later, he widened his eyes and roared angrily, "Young son Huan, my brother is drunk and has no form, it is indeed a rush against you and other drinkers, and it is okay to beat and expel you, don't you hear that you can kill and insult!" ”

Huan Chong stepped forward and snatched the bamboo cane from Wei Liang's hand, and said with a wry smile, "Your brother is really heroic, he vomited wildly when he rushed into the hall, and finally held down his hands and feet and poured a bowl of rescue soup, but it is really rude to hang upside down and induce vomiting, I ...... to you."

"Brother back away! I didn't know who it was, but now I'm making trouble for you...... Since Xiao Shen is here, if you are a man, let's go out quickly, let's have a competition, and let the little lady of the Kang family see who is the real hero......"

Lu Jingzong rushed back again full of alcohol at this time, pushed Wei Rail away, pointed at the hall and shouted.

When Wei Liang heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and his brain, which had already been soaked in alcohol, couldn't react.

There were several people in the hall, it was Shen Jin, Wei Teng and a few others who had just left the Jingzhao Bureau, and only after returning to the old city of Chang'an did they know that Huan Huo had also returned, so they invited the two Huan Huo brothers to come to Shiji City for a recreation, but they did not expect to encounter this situation.

Hearing Lu Jingzong's roar, Wei Teng was already holding his stomach and laughing, and said to Huan Huo, who was also dumbfounded, "I said don't visit the restaurant with Ah He, now Kansai Shaoliu especially hates this fang, and he goes crazy after drinking, and invites him to fight, this is not the first time!" ”

Shen Jin also gritted his teeth and glared at this time, clenched his fists, pounded the food table, and roared: "Why is Lao Tzu competing with you? Why should I let anyone's little lady know whether I am heroic or not! ”
