Chapter 989: The bitterness of being born in a wealthy family
Xiangyang Ancient Road. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe last quarter moon hangs in the sky like a shining scimitar, and the faint light will fall down, feeling the loneliness and loneliness of the winter night. There are stars shining faintly in the thick clouds, but they are extremely dim, giving people a very depressed feeling. Suddenly, a thunderous sound of horses' hooves shattered the silence of the winter night, and a group of samurai in soft armor galloped from the other side of the ancient road. These samurai horsemen were extremely skilled, and although they were speeding in the dark of night, their entire formation was not chaotic at all, indicating that they had been rigorously trained.
Not far away is Xiangyang City. It has been three watches, and the bustling city of Xiangyang is still lit by candlelight, and its warmth can be felt even when viewed from a distance.
A strange whistle sounded from the mouth of a middle-aged man in the lead, and all the galloping horses were immediately stopped by their masters, and they were nailed to the ground like a row of nails, rolling up the snow on the ground and splashing it one after another. From extreme movement to extreme stillness, this sudden transition is extremely natural and can never be done by ordinary people. It is conceivable that these samurai are by no means ordinary Jianghu people.
"Dismount and stand by!" A rough but magnetic voice commanded, and with this command, the warriors leaped from their horses in unison, and quietly led their horses to the side of the road, without any commotion.
For the good performance of his subordinates, the middle-aged man in the lead was also quite satisfied, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bloom a proud smile, although this smile was fleeting.
"Uncle, the moon has passed the middle of the day, why don't you go into the city yet? After riding a horse all night in winter, it was cold and cold...... "The only one who did not obey the order to dismount was a young girl, although she wore the same soft armor as the other samurai, and it could be heard from her coquettish tone that her relationship was extremely close to the middle-aged man in the lead.
The middle-aged man obviously loved the girl very much, and he was not impatient at all, but explained with a smile: "After all, Xiangyang is still the territory of the Wen family, especially at this sensitive moment, we must be more careful. We are not here to start a war with the Wen family, and if it is not necessary, it is best not to alarm Wen Shizhong, and we will leave after we have done what we need to do, so as not to increase the variables. As he spoke, he looked at the corner of the girl's slightly curled lips and said with a smile: "Don't be impatient, I have already arranged everything, and someone will come to answer after a while, and I won't let you wait too long." I'm sure Wen Shizhong will never know that we ever appeared in Xiangyang. ”
The girl nodded, sighed suddenly, and said, "I didn't understand what Daddy was thinking. Our dynasty has always been developing well in Hebei, why does Daddy have to expand to the south? Especially this time he formed an alliance with Meng Caiyi and the Sword Shadow Building to send troops to deal with the Wen family. The Wen family and our sphere of influence are separated by the territory of the Sword and Sword Shadow House and the Yellow River, and there will be no direct conflict with us in terms of interests...... Isn't it a bit worth the cost for us to do this? As she spoke, she lightly lifted the hood that was pressed on top of her head, and her long hair like a waterfall immediately poured down, revealing a delicate and beautiful face, which was the beloved daughter of the Immortal Dynasty. And the middle-aged man with long hair and a shawl, no soft armor, just wrapped in a navy blue light man, revealing a blood-red iron spear head, red tassels dancing in the cold wind, without asking, he knew that he was the number one general of the Immortal Dynasty, "Thorn Tiger" Bian Stop.
"Thorn Tiger" Bian stopped following the Immortal Dynasty to roam the rivers and lakes, and the relationship between the two was like a biological brother. It is no wonder that as Fengyun Dance, he also has to be honored as "uncle".
Bian stopped and said: "No matter what happens, if you don't advance or retreat, you can't slack off." Rather than seeking new developments and being satisfied with the status quo, the final outcome must be perdition. At present, the imperial situation is indeed developing rapidly in Hebei, and the operating capital is abundant, but that is because we are still secretly doing some business without capital. However, it is not a long-term plan to rely on plundering to maintain the operation of the imperial dynasty, and Hebei is a capital division directly under the central government, and the lucrative business of gambling houses and brothels is virtually subject to certain restrictions from the government, so we must go south to open up new sources of wealth...... Xiao Wu, the eldest brother has only one daughter like you, and this huge dynasty situation will be handed over to you to take care of after all, this time you are responsible for the alliance with Meng Caiyi and the Sword and Sword Shadow Building to deal with the Wen family, just to give you a chance to exercise, and I hope you can take on the heavy responsibility of the dynasty in the future. So you have to take a long-term view of everything you think about, and don't disappoint your father. ”
After Fengyun Wu heard this, the corners of her mouth pursed higher, and she said coquettishly: "Uncle, you are always like your father, you will teach me a lesson at every turn, I am a girl, I don't know how to depity other people's ...... at all."
Putting the future of the entire dynasty on Xiao Wu's young shoulders is indeed too heavy for her! Other girls at her age are doing some idle and elegant things such as fan fluttering butterflies and spring sleepy meditation, but she has to follow her rough men with the eyes of everyone to work hard in the treacherous rivers and lakes......
Although he was very sorry in his heart, the tone in Bian Zhu's mouth was as hard as before, and even a little harsh: "As the master of a valve, thousands of lives under the door will be tied to one, and every choice and decision you make will affect the changes in the world of martial arts. If you don't want to disappoint your dad and uncle, pack up your little girl mentality from today onwards and act like an adult...... No, do everything you have to do like a man! ”
Hearing Bian Zhu, who had always been very fond of him, suddenly scolded him so harshly, Fengyun Dance was almost stunned, and tears of grievance kept rolling in his eyes. Looking at Bian Zhu's harsh, almost cold eyes, she was silent for a long time. However, the almost breathless pressure that she had endured silently for many years finally turned into a strong resentment at this moment, which made her unable to bear it anymore and burst out: "I...... I never thought about being the lord of the valve, it was you, you and my father forced me to do it! You never asked me if I liked it or not, except that you asked me to do this or that! I'm a girl, why should I be like a man? Why can't I be coquettish like any other girl? It's not okay, it's not good...... Well, I don't want to be the lord of any valve, you can let whoever you like, anyway, I won't be! He shouted out in one breath, and immediately felt that the pressure in his heart had faded a lot. Fengyunwu stubbornly raised his head, looked coldly at Bian Zhu's cold face, and did not retreat. This was the first time she had lost her temper with Bian Zhu, whom she had always respected, and it didn't seem to be as bad as she imagined, and she was even secretly proud of her brave behavior.
"Excellent! will finally lose her temper, this is the daughter of the 'Gun Tyrant' Immortal Dynasty! You used to be too gentle...... "Bian stopped laughing instead of anger, but the smile lingered at the corner of his lips soon and then retracted, replaced by a tone of lesson: "However, as a valve owner who often has to make major decisions, the most taboo thing is not to control the emotions in his heart, so as not to be affected by emotions and his ability to judge things, which you must keep in mind......"
"Hmph...... I just ignore it, I can do whatever I like, anyway, I won't be a valve master, what's the use of you telling me this? Fengyun Wu pursed the corners of his lips and said disdainfully.
Bian stopped and said, "Since you don't like to inherit the position of lord so much, your father and I will not be reluctant." However, the position of the lord of the dynasty must be inherited by our own people, and it seems that we have no choice but to choose young talents to join our dynasty to be your husband, so that we can justifiably take charge of the affairs of the dynasty on your behalf...... It's best if you can give birth to a boy quickly, then our dynasty will not be afraid of no successor! ”
When Fengyun Wu heard this, she blushed with shame, she still couldn't accept this topic like having a child, so she could only say coquettishly: "Uncle, what nonsense are you talking about, what is not rich, it is ugly to hear." I don't listen, I don't listen! I don't want to hear ......"
Bian stopped and said, "Are you saying I'm joking?" This is your father's idea, not my nonsense here...... If you can be qualified for the position of lord in the future, then the power to choose a son-in-law is in your own hands, and you will marry whoever you like, of course, this person must still be in our dynasty; But if you are not qualified to be the lord of the valve in the future, or if you are not willing to be the lord of the valve, then the right to choose a husband is not up to you, and we must appoint a person who can take on great responsibilities to be your husband...... All in all, everything is based on the foundation of the dynasty, and personal gains and losses must be left behind. ”
Fengyun Dance suddenly felt angry and funny, and said angrily: "You guys...... How can you two do that? What am I in your eyes? ”
A touch of sadness and pity slipped through Bian Zhu's eyes. He hardened his heart: "Our dynasty has been in this position until today, and it is the life and blood of many brothers who have bought it...... Compared with this heavy morality and responsibility, our personal gains and losses are nothing at all. So, you either strive to be a lord who lives up to expectations in order to strive for your own happiness; Either we will choose a husband for you, so that we can take charge of the affairs of the dynasty in your place. Other than that, there is no other way to go. "Since you are the daughter of the imperial dynasty, your life will go on according to a set route, and there is no chance of any choice! Bian stopped and sighed secretly in his heart. He deeply hated the role he was playing at the moment, but as he himself put it, "compared to this heavy morality and responsibility", what was the personal gain or loss?
The cruel reality made Fengyunwu not know how to respond to Bian Zhu's words, and she couldn't help but turn her face to look at the quiet Xiangyang City in the distance, and a sad mood suddenly rose in her heart. I can't decide my own life path, is there any joy in such a life? A helpless bitter smile appeared on her face, sad and gorgeous. At the same time, the figure that made me think about it day and night suddenly jumped out of my heart, the man who was like a devil but couldn't resist. I heard that you are also in Xiangyang, but I wonder if I can see you this time?
For a while, Fengyun Wu only felt that his heart was moving, and his body was fluttering, and there was no place to focus, and the handsome face of the man and his smile that seemed to care about nothing appeared in front of him, which seemed to be real and illusory. Fengyun Wu subconsciously touched his right wrist. There should have been a jade bracelet that he had been wearing since he was a child, but on the night he first met him, he forcibly took it away. At the same time as he took away the jade bracelet, his heart was also gently and skillfully taken away by him. Thinking that he might be able to meet that person in Xiangyang this time, Fengyunwu suddenly felt tender, excited and excited, and there was an indescribable nervousness.
Wu Xiaotang...... Wu Xiaotang...... Do you remember me?
Bian stopped and sighed secretly in his heart. He deeply hated the role he was playing at the moment, but as he himself put it, "compared to this heavy morality and responsibility", what was the personal gain or loss?
