A series of crackling firecrackers drew people's attention. Gunpowder was invented, and firecrackers were born. Yun Hao very much hoped that it was not Cheng Bitingjin's firecrackers outside, and he had seen his family's firecrackers. The top of them were thick, and Yun Hao felt that if he went out to sell, he would definitely be very popular with terrorists. It's a huge artillery battle for two pounds, and it's too fucking appropriate to engage in a terrorist attack or something.

I listened carefully, but fortunately there was no loud rumble. If Cheng Yanjin put this thing in the Taiji Palace, Yun Hao felt that it was better to take leave and go home as soon as possible.

"Boom!" The loud sound made the Taiji Hall seem to shake, and Li Er's eyes widened. The guards drew their knives one after another, and the sound came in the direction of the Tai Liquid Pool. This year, there is a warm spring on the edge of the Taiye Pool, and there is a large area of water that does not freeze. When Li Er is fine, he likes to go to the Taiye Pool the most.

"What is the sound, find out quickly." Before Li Er could speak, Du Ruhui had already ordered. Immediately, there were guards running to the edge of the pool like rabbits!

Before the guards came back, Cheng Yanjin walked in with a smile on his face with a carp nearly three feet long. Walked up to Li Er and held the fish to Li Er. "Your Majesty! This is the auspicious thing that the old minister personally put up for His Majesty in the Taiye Pool. I have fish every year in the Tang Dynasty, and the grains are abundant! Zhenguan is prosperous, uh ......! ”

There was a moment of silence in the Taiji Hall, and I saw Lao Cheng's red face. Immediately burst into laughter, and the sound almost lifted the roof of the Tai Chi Hall. Li Er's laughter was almost out of breath, Lao Cheng, the living treasure, must have asked someone to teach auspicious words to pat Li Er's ass. As a result, I was not good at learning art, and I forgot the words halfway through it!

Yun Hao pursed his lips and talked nonsense. Where is this hit, it is obviously fished up, and more than two catties of explosives go down. Yun Hao didn't believe that the fish in the Taiye Pond could withstand it, but it was definitely an anomaly that there were such a big fish in the Taiye Pond.

"I can't learn the sour thing, and after the old age, Cheng will go to Dafeichuan to see the Tubo people. This is a few years, and Lao Cheng is here to wish my emperor a long life. The minister must guard the frontier and let His Majesty rest assured! Lao Cheng walked a few steps to the Dan Fan and gave the fish to Li Er with both hands.

The hall was silent again, and there was a will to bite the gold to go to Dafeichuan to defend it a few years ago. Li Er sympathized with Lao Cheng for not being able to come back for a few years, so he specially left Lao Cheng for the New Year.

Li Er put away his smile and stood up from the throne. turned around the imperial case and walked in front of Lao Cheng. Lao Cheng's face was a little yellow, and there were tears in his eyes. The hair on his sideburns was gray, and there were scars on his cheeks. Presumably it was just from fishing, and the red blood was slowly oozing down the skin and into the beard.

Dafeichuan is a bitter cold place, and savages like the Tubo people don't care, but the Han people in Guanzhong are difficult to adapt. Going to Dafeichuan is actually going to endure hardship.

"Zhijie! Dafeichuan, you still don't want to go, I will send someone else. I don't want you to be fifty years old, and you still brave the wind and cold to guard the frontier for me. You have followed me since Luoyang, and you have fought hard battles and evil battles over the years. Now that you're old, it's time to enjoy the blessings. ”

"Your Majesty! The old minister can still draw a strong bow and still ride a fierce horse. Guarding the territory and the land, this is what the gate does. The old minister wishes to be His Majesty's eagle dog! The tears in Lao Cheng's eyes couldn't hold on any longer, and soybean-sized tears flowed down his cheeks.

"I've made up my mind, and I don't need to say it anymore. Passed the decree, Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie was transferred to the secretary of the ministry. After the year of printing, he went to the head of the ministry. Li Er said resolutely.

Everyone was stunned, this has become a hot official book? Xiao Yu, the original secretary of the ministry, just smiled slightly, he is over eighty years old this year. He has long been in charge of the ministry, and now the ministry has the final say. The old guy is now looking at Cheng Yanjin like water, and he knows that this top boss can't afford to mess with him.

"Da Fei Chuan, which general is willing to go!" After Li Er finished speaking, he looked at the generals present. Cheng Yanjin doesn't have to go, but Dafeichuan still has to be done. And the geographical location is very important, I'm afraid you have to send an important minister.

Almost all the veterans stood up and bowed down in front of Li Er's steps. I hope that I can lead the troops to the place of Dafeichuan to guard it, so as to relieve His Majesty's worries.

Yun Hao knew that these old guys had made a fortune over the years. Sleeping women sleep until their feet are soft, and years of peaceful life make them spleen and flesh. Many people have evolved to the point where horseback riding is a problem.

In fact, Datang has rarely used these old generals over the years. A large number of middle-aged generals like Hou Junji have begun to be used. At present, only Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda, Zhang Jian, Zhang Gongjin, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong and others are still active in the military circles. Even Wei Chigong was only responsible for the right guard to defend Chang'an City. The matter of going on the expedition has nothing to do with him.

Looking at the rows of faces below, Chai Shao's hair was already gray, and Li Jing's legs were no longer good. Liu Hongji, the fat one is no longer human. Duan Hu ......! Duan Zhixuan has passed away, and there are fewer and fewer old brothers who follow him to fight the world.

"Li Ji! Let him go, and return the title of Duke of Dafeichuan to him. After watching it for a long time, Li Er remembered that a person who didn't appear here was Li Ji, who had just been defeated in the Western Regions. At this time, he was still punished at home, his title was gone, and he couldn't enter the palace at all.

When he said this, Li Er was already excited. looked at the ministers below the stairs, turned around and entered the inner palace.

When the emperor is gone, the banquet completely becomes a stage for demons to dance. There are those who appreciate singing and dancing, and there are also grievances accumulated on weekdays, and those who pretend to drink high and compare their fists and feet. There are even those who lead war horses and draw in the square in front of the Taiji Palace.

Generally, when entering this program, Yun Hao retreated. With his small physique, he was punched to death and had nowhere to excuse himself. It's better to leave as soon as possible, and that's the reason why a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall.

Seeing Qin Qiong waving to him, Yun Hao squeezed out of the crowd and followed Qin Qiong. Among these elders in Chang'an, Yun Hao was the closest to Qin Qiong. In his psychology, he really treats Qin Qiong as his own parent.

"Let's go, go home for a drink. In the palace, I always dare not let go of drinking. Qin Qiong said with a smile.

"You shouldn't drink too much spirits. You can drink a little more grapes, it's good for your body. "At the end of each year, the Qin family will pull away a large amount of high-purity steamed wine from the Yun family. Yun Hao was worried about Qin Qiong's body, according to the normal course of history, Qin Qiong should be hung up this year.

However, looking at Qin Qiong's face is not bad, she has been pampered for many years, plus the ginseng pills prepared by Yun Hao. Although Qin Qiong's body can't catch up with before, it doesn't seem to be much worse, and it won't be able to survive for a year.

"You say you are not allowed to drink the wine, nor to eat the meat. What's the point of being alive! In the first two years, I was able to ride a horse out to hunt if I had nothing to do, but in the past two years, I couldn't ride a horse. When I ran two miles of land, I was panting heavily. This body is bone! Sometimes, all things considered, it's really boring to live. Qin Qiong beat her leg with one hand and said helplessly.

Yun Hao was helpless, because he didn't know how to comfort this old man who was suffering from illness. The person in front of him who sighed about the years was once a hero who stepped on both sides of the Yellow River and beat one hundred and eight counties in Shandong. But now, it's this virtue.

"The first time I saw you, you were so tall!" The wheels crackled, and Qin Qiong suddenly said. The height of the hand is less than Yun Hao's ass.

"What's going on! I was young, but I wasn't that short. It's not a three-inch ding! ”

"You were offended then, ...... Wang!" Qin Qiong's memories came to an abrupt end, and many people had already gone to the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Those heroes and heroes who were once turned into a piece of loess are now turned into a piece of loess.

"Go out of town!" Qin Qiong gave an order, and the carriage began to turn.

Yun Hao knew that Qin Qiong wanted to go to see Luo Cheng and his cousin. Every year, Qin Qiong would take a look, and Luo Cheng had no descendants. Lao Qin would weed his brother and clean the courtyard. Although the old man guarding the tomb had taken the Qin family's money and had already cleaned Luo Cheng's curtain very cleanly, Qin Qiong still had to take a broom and sweep it again.

To paraphrase that sentence, what my brother sweeps is not a tomb, but mourning!

Sweeping the tomb on New Year's Eve, Yun Hao has never experienced this. Not many people have ever experienced it!

Yun Hao didn't speak, he could only follow behind. Luo Cheng's cemetery is not far from Chang'an, and it will only take half an hour to arrive. Not far from the front of the tomb is the tomb keeper's hut. A lonely old man in his sixties with no children and no daughters became Luo Cheng's grave keeper.

Qin Qiong stopped the tomb keeper's invitation, waved his hand, and someone brought him some wine and meat. The servants of the Qin family quickly filled the tomb with offerings, and a stall of the most authentic Yun family's whole wine was offered in the middle.

After taking a sip of the spirits, Qin Qiong sat cross-legged in front of Luo Cheng's tomb. He didn't speak, and neither did Yun Hao. The two of them were just in front of the tomb, the flask in their hands was dressed, and it was half empty.

"Boy, do you believe the oath?" Lao Qin suddenly said faintly. The eyes were so bright, and those who didn't know thought they were two ghost fires.

"I originally believed it, but then someone told me that it didn't hurt to swear and swear, and the kid didn't believe it very much." Yun Hao took a sip of wine, feeling spicy from his throat to his stomach. Drink some of this stuff on a cold day, and your whole body feels warm and smoky.

"How so? In the past, the old man believed it, and he didn't believe it. A lot of the time, swearing is just a matter of time. But now the old man believes it! Lao Qin raised his head and took a sip of wine, a strange smile appeared on his face.

"That year, Luo Cheng and I practiced martial arts in Beiping! He asked me to teach him the Qin family's gun, saying that it was to exchange the Luo family's gun. At that time, our brothers swore that if we hid anything, we would not die. The oath I made was that if I left one and a half moves, I, Qin Qiong, vomited blood and died. Qin Qiong took a sip of wine and shook her head with a smile.

"That's ......!"

"My cousin's oath is that if there is a hidden secret, he will die under ten thousand arrows." Qin Qiong smacked her lips and spit out a mouthful of heavy wine. Hand the flask to Yun Hao!

Yun Hao's hand trembled, and the wine jug almost fell to the ground.

Is this thing so accurate? Luo Chengke really died with ten thousand arrows, and there were several catties of iron arrows refined on his body. When I think of myself, I often love you in front of a few wives, otherwise I will have no bottom in my heart if I make an oath like five thunders and thunders in the sky.

Looking up at the sky, it's winter, and there shouldn't be thunder struck. It looks like I won't be able to go out in the summer. It would be bad if God felt that he had taken too much vows and helped himself to achieve the following.

"At the beginning of winter, I coughed badly at night. During this time, there was already yellow phlegm, and sometimes the phlegm was bloodshot. I know, it's my cousin missing me. The oath of that year is estimated to be fulfilled by the old man.

To be honest, I, Lao Qin, am not afraid of death. Ten thousand horses in the army, if there is a fear of the word, it will be dead. This man! The more afraid you are of death, the more Lord Yama will send little ghosts to hook up with you. At that time, he was not afraid of death, so he was injured multiple times, and the little ghost couldn't hook the old man.

Not now, none of the old and young in the family can support this portal. Yi Guogong sounds good to say, but in fact, it has long become an empty shelf. Without you and a few old brothers to help you over the years, maybe it would have declined. After so many years, it has not been in vain. With a junior like you and a brother like Zhijie, it's enough! ”

"Uncle Qin!" Yun Hao's hands trembled even more, Qin Qiong was entrusting the family's affairs? Could it be that his body has really reached that point, and it doesn't look like it!

"Silly boy, life and death are common. Why are you crying, the old man has killed not 10,000 people but 8,000 in his life. There are countless girls who have slept with them. In the eyes of our masters, this is military merit and glory. But in the eyes of other people's families, the butcher is a whore. Never mind! It's worth it in this life! Let's go home.

Cousin, you have a good New Year below. It didn't take long for your cousin to come and see you. When the time comes, our brothers will drink together. Qin Qiong said, spilling the remaining wine in the jug onto the ground.

followed Lao Qin back to Chang'an, but there was no clean street. It took a long time to remember that today is the first day, and today Jin Wu can't help it!

When he got out of the carriage, his legs seemed to be filled with lead. The heart is more like!

I saw with my own eyes a heroic and majestic hero, who was taken the rank of general in a million-strong army. You don't have to look at it, you get excited when you listen to it. can see a hero in the twilight, with white hair and a rickety body, but still running for his children and grandchildren. That kind of desolation, the feeling of pressing a big stone in my heart is a word block. The air pressure seems to be a few levels lower, and there is a feeling of being out of breath.

Although he tried all kinds of methods, he couldn't save Qin Qiong's life now. In other words, Qin Qiong's life can no longer be continued. The stage drama of life can be wonderful or dull. No matter how hard the actors work, the final ending still can't avoid the ending chapter.

The two of them walked inside with a heavy heart, and suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves in the street.

"Second brother......!" In the darkness, a rough howl resounded through the night sky of Chang'an City.
