Chapter 144: The Red Feather Flying Horse Comes from the North
Towering Chang'an, surging Weishui, a majestic city stands on the land of Guanlong, like a quiet lion. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There is wind and snow today, and Chang'an is white. In the cold winter, the people of Layue went to bed early, and the people went to bed early before it was dark.
At the north gate of Chang'an, the soldiers guarding the city were pushing the heavy city gate to close, and suddenly a horse came to the dust, and the snow on the horse's hooves was flying, and the speed was like a sharp arrow.
"Don't close the city gate yet, it's an eight-hundred-mile expedited horse, get out of the way quickly!" The captain of the soldier squad guarding the door was very knowledgeable, and when he saw the flying rider with a red feather on his back, he immediately knew that this was the person who passed the book on the fast horse in the army.
The soldiers hurriedly moved out of the way, and the red-feathered knight didn't look at them, and directly galloped through the city gate, all the way to the palace.
"From the Northlands?" The captain of the gatekeeping team flashed his eyes, frowned and secretly pondered: "Could it be that the Turks are knocking again?" No, the covenant has just been signed, how can you say that you will turn your face......"
A young soldier next to him lowered his voice and said, "Maybe it's not the Turkic business, captain, don't forget, it's been three months since the Marquis of Jingyang was out of the customs!" ”
This sentence really woke up the dreamer, the team leader frowned, nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes, according to the time, it is estimated that the migration army of the Marquis of Jingyang is about to arrive at the place." Alas, I hope that Hou Ye can successfully build a mutual market. ”
"It's going to be going well!" The young soldier spoke up firmly, and said with a look of admiration: "Our Hou Ye is a fairy child, and nothing in this world can stump him." He swallowed his saliva when he said this, and then said: "Captain, you don't know that this time Master Hou is out of the customs, our whole village is mobilized together, and my father, mother, and younger brothers and sisters are all following." Everyone said that as long as you follow our Hou Ye, you won't go hungry anywhere. When the mutual market is established, everyone will make a fortune, and the Turks will suffer a lot......"
"Then why didn't you go with you?" The squad leader's heart is Cen Cen.
The young soldier's face twitched, and he said in annoyance: "I'm unlucky, this year's military service period has not yet arrived, otherwise I can follow Hou Ye!" ”
The team leader laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lao Tzu is the same, I thought I was unlucky alone, it turns out that there are still difficult brothers and brothers." ”
After a conversation, the friendship between the squad leader and the young soldier quickly warmed up, and at this time the sky was completely dark, and everyone was talking about Han Yue's deeds while pushing the city gate, and they heard a rumbling sound, and the huge city gate was tightly sealed.
……
Quiet Chang'an, the wind and snow are falling, there are no pedestrians on the long street, only the bell echoes.
It was the bell that came from the palace, striking every other hour. The melodious and low sound of the bell travels far and wide in the snowy night, telling everyone that time has passed another hour.
On such a snowy night, even the nobles in the palace rested early, and there was little sound in the palaces, but the queen's main hall was still full of lights.
The eldest grandson hasn't slept yet, because Li Shimin has just arrived.
The queen was holding her son in her arms, and the little girl didn't know what was going on tonight, she was very excited, and she had to tell her mother a story.
"Storytelling...... "The eldest grandson's eyebrows are long, and there is a trace of melancholy on his face." The queen mother doesn't know how to tell stories, but if your eldest brother is here, he will definitely be able to tell a good story to the little son. Good baby, it's not early, lie in the arms of the queen mother and go to sleep. ”
The son shook his head, his two fleshy little hands twisted like twisted flowers, and he pouted and said, "No, no, my son wants to listen to the story." ”
Once the little girl is coquettish and clingy, generally no one can bear it, the eldest grandson smiled bitterly, pinched his son's little face and said: "Okay, listen to the story, listen to the story, let your father tell you the whole line!" Saying that, he sent his daughter Wang Li Shimin into his arms, and quipped: "Your Majesty, it's up to you!" ”
Li Shimin is holding an ancient bamboo slip and looking at it fascinated, this is a spring and autumn ancient scroll presented by the local government not long ago, and people can't put it down when they read it. He was going to read it overnight, but the queen suddenly stuffed a little ghost elf, Li Shimin had no choice but to roll his eyes, put down the bamboo slip and hugged his daughter steadily.
"Father's ......" little son is very well-behaved, especially knows how to be coquettish and likable, she scurryed up in Li Shimin's arms, stripped up, and finally reached her father's neck with two fleshy little hands, the little girl smiled proudly, hugged Li Shimin's neck and coquettishly said: "My son wants to listen to the story!" ”
"Okay, good, my son wants to listen to the story!" Li Shimin laughed and said with a little smugness: "Then let my father tell you a story about 3,000 iron armor breaking 100,000, how about it?" ”
"Don't listen, don't listen!" The son's little head shook like a rattle, and he pouted and said, "The son wants to listen to the big monkey!" ”
Belch!
Li Shimin choked when he boarded, he didn't know how to tell the story of Journey to the West, and he had heard Han Yue say it a few times before.
I was going to let the kid write it down and print it into a book, but he didn't think that things would happen one after another, and he didn't have time to care about books anymore.
The queen sneered beside her and said, "Your Majesty, do you know where the gap is now?" I can't even coax a little girl......"
"Alas!" Li Shimin sighed lightly, looked at the little son's pitiful eyes, felt that his scalp was numb, and said angrily: "It's all to blame on that stinky boy, you said that he didn't do anything good, but he wanted to make up a Journey to the West to hang people's appetites." Is there a monkey king who has become a monkey? Monkeys are everywhere in the Qinling Mountains, I go hunting every year, this animal runs away when it sees people, how can it have the heroic spirit of Sun Wukong. ”
"That's why Yue'er is unique!" The queen laughed lightly and said leisurely: "A big monkey can make people listen to it, not to mention that the little son likes to listen to it, even the concubines are very concerned." and Concubine Yang, who asked people to come over to inquire several times, said that she really wanted to hear about the aftermath of the big monkey, and asked if there was any letter from Jingyang Hou. ”
Li Shimin shook his head helplessly, and snorted angrily: "I don't know where that stinky boy is, so that one or two of you are so worried about him." I figured that he was almost there, and when he was settled, I would send a book to him, and I would write back to him and ask him to write the story. ”
The eldest grandson frowned slightly, and said with some concern: "The concubine heard that the north is cold, and the wind and snow are particularly fierce this year, Yue'er has no martial arts, I am really afraid that he will not be able to withstand such weather." ”
"If you can't bear it, you have to carry it!" Li Shimin's face was very ugly, and he said hatefully: "This is the path he chose by himself, and he has to finish it for me to kneel." ”
The queen sighed and looked out the window. Tonight, the wind and snow cover Chang'an, and the land of Guanlong is still like this, and I don't know what kind of cold winter it will be outside the gate.
She was very worried in her heart.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the palace, and then someone whispered: "Your Majesty, there is a red feather riding from the north and is waiting at the palace gate." ”
Li Shimin stood up with a bang, and because his movements were too violent, he almost scared the little son. He handed his daughter to the queen, strode out of the palace, and shouted: "Pass him in quickly, and wait for him in the Ganlu Palace." ”
The man who gave the report said yes and ran away.
Li Shimin was about to go to the Ganlu Palace, when the eldest grandson stood at the door with his little son in his arms and shouted, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, if there is news of Yue'er, please come over early and inform the concubine." ”
"I know in my heart that if you wait for a while, I will be back in an instant!"
Li Shimin didn't wait for the words to finish, and plunged into the wind and snow.
The emperor was actually very anxious about Han Yue's news.
