Volume 1 The Ups and Downs of This Life Chapter 119 Dispatch to Taiping
"I want to eat!" the little girl cheered.
Li Xuandu got up and said: "Then get up, today we will stay in Sanhu County for a morning, and leave for Jiangling Mansion City in the afternoon, and we will be able to arrive almost when the sun sets." ”
The little girl hurriedly put on her shoes and socks, Li Xuandu went out again and asked the guy to get hot water, and after washing up, she left the inn with the little girl.
Walking on the street, Zhou Shuning asked, "Brother, where is Uncle Tianliang?"
Li Xuandu said: "I agreed with him yesterday, and he will go to the city this morning to buy some decent clothes, and it is not good to come to the door like this." It just so happens that today is a market, and people from all over the country will come to the county seat to catch up with the market today, so let's go and have a good time. ”
The little girl sighed, and then she didn't care about Hu Liang anymore, and began to look forward to the next "gluttonous journey".
After coming to the market, it was even more busy, and Li Xuandu was not in a hurry to go anywhere, so he walked aimlessly on the street with the little girl, walked about a stick of incense, and finally found the Yunmeng fish noodles that the little girl wanted in the roadside stall.
The so-called Yunmeng fish noodles, according to legend, are produced in Guze Yunmeng, which can be said to have a long history and a long history. It uses the fish of "white crane diversion", the water in the osmanthus pond, the new wheat flour and sesame oil as the material, white as silver, fine as silk, so it is also called "silver fish noodles". The little girl is a native of Jiangzhou, adjacent to Jingzhou, so the taste is almost the same, but Li Xuandu is not used to eating, fortunately, Sanhu County is a place where merchants come and go, there are all places in the south and north of the world, and the shops here will even have some other food craftsmanship, Li Xuandu asked for some oil and spicy seeds produced in Qinzhou in the northwest, just a small dish, the color is bright red and dripping, you can dip a little with chopsticks, the entrance is hot, and the appetite is open.
Although Li Xuan is not from the Northwest, when he traveled to the Northwest with Hu Liang back then, he did not eat less of such things, and the smell made people's appetite move and their tongues were full of revel. Since ancient times, the real food that can be eaten has never been in the emperor's imperial dining room, and in this folk snack, Li Xuandu poured spicy seeds with red and authentic oil, and ate a bowl of Yunmeng fish noodles, but it made the little girl laugh, saying that he was a tyrannical thing and did not understand the true taste of fish noodles.
After eating noodles, Li Xuandu took out a delicate money bag from his sleeve, took out the copper coin to settle the bill, and then bought a string of red rock sugar gourds for the little girl.
The two walked side by side on the road, Li Xuandu suddenly remembered a lot of things when he was a child, when the relationship between the senior brothers was still quite harmonious, the senior brother would often take him to the back mountain to pick wild fruits, or go to the mountain stream to catch fish, just like he now takes Zhou Shuning to eat Yunmeng fish noodles, but I don't know when, he and his senior brother gradually became estranged, maybe it was in his inexplicable "world" After recognizing the master, or perhaps after the master said that his kendo was three feet higher than that of his senior brother, in short, the two who were originally like brothers gradually became estranged over the years, and finally became mortal enemies.
What made Li Xuandu's heart even more cold was that the master always ignored this, neither heartbroken nor angry, but like an old emperor who was proficient in the emperor's mental skills, he was happy to see it happen, and even contributed to it, which is also one of the reasons why Li Xuandu chose to leave the master and never mentioned the master.
But then again, there are a total of one hundred and eight large and small islands within a thousand miles of his master's sect, and his master is the undoubted monarch, and it is reasonable to have such a heart. It's just that Li Xuan doesn't like this, so he envies Yan Feiqing even more, it is said that he and his master are more like father and son than master and apprentice, and not like him, like a monarch and more like a master and apprentice.
However, he was destined not to mention these words to the little girl, but he just said a lot of interesting things, and as for those that were not interesting, he was naturally buried deep in his heart.
In fact, most of the elders in the world are like this, in front of the younger generations to talk about their own scenery and things back then, or some innocuous things, as for the suffering, most of them do not mention it, or say a word, one is because the younger generations have not experienced it, even if they say it, they are difficult to appreciate the suffering, and the second is that the elders do not want the younger generations to experience the suffering they experienced back then.
Li Xuandu is probably in this state of mind now, he doesn't want Zhou Shuning to experience any more life situations, it is best to be able to be peaceful, if he can love each other with his master and sisters in the Xuannu Sect, like a family, it is better.
The two came to a stall again, a storyteller who set up a stall on the ground, not as good as the treatment of the storyteller in the tavern, there were no tables and chairs, and there was no wine and tea provided by the tavern owner, just a shabby robe, a piece of felt cloth spread on the ground, the condition was simple, but the storytelling ability was not bad. is actually talking about the Northwest War of that year, and the protagonist of the story is naturally Qin Xiang, the general who personally led the army to expel the Golden Horde, but it did not start directly from the Northwest War, but from Qin Xiang's previous life, saying that the general of the imperial court was originally a heavenly spiritual official, only because the world was robbed, and he was ordered by Haotian God to go through the tribulation in the lower realm, so he was reincarnated in the Qin family.
Qin Xiang grew up under the strict education of his parents, and learned the art of war and martial arts from Yiren. Later, he went to the imperial capital to take the martial arts test, and picked the little marquis, and was later favored by the prime minister Xu Shisong, and called Qin Xiang to join the army to fight against the Golden Horde. Qin Xiang was promoted to the Governor of the Left Army because of his merits, and then the old Xu Lord Xu Shisong Zhishi, his nephew Xu Shouzhai took his place and became the secretary of the military department, and when the Golden Horde raised troops to attack, Qin Xiang waved his troops to the north with the support of Xiao Xu, and broke the Iron Cavalry of the Golden Horde in Qinzhou, so that it could not be defeated.
It's a pity that when Qin Xiang was preparing to fully recover Qinzhou and Liangzhou, the emperor died, and the imperial court ordered Qin Xiang to return to Beijing immediately.
Hearing this, the people who listened to the book were all filled with righteous indignation, and shouted for Lord Xu and the Governor of Qin that it was not worth it, so they almost bluntly said that there was a traitor in the court, and the court was in trouble.
The little girl was affected by her father Zhou Tingchao, and naturally she was very angry, and she couldn't even take care of the rock sugar gourd in her hand.
It can also be seen from this that although the queen mother sat firmly in the court and held the power, but in the case of the Great Zhou in the west and the golden horde in the east, the prestige of the court is not as good as before, and three of the four ministers are from Jiangnan, plus the old Sun Ge, who is also from Jiangnan, secretly fuels the troubles, and the people who are far away in Jiangnan naturally have no good impression of the queen mother of Ji Sichen, which is why there are now floating rumors.
But what can the court do?
This is what the human heart can do.
Li Xuandu said softly: "The sword has been put in place, and when you go out, you will be in the rivers and lakes, and you will travel thousands of miles, and you will still be a teenager when you return." ”
The little girl let out an "ah" and looked at Li Xuandu with a puzzled expression, not knowing why Li Xuandu suddenly said such a sentence.
Li Xuandu was silent for a long time, and said silently: "A sword comes from the west, and the river goes to the east, and the anger is crossed." Asked how to inherit peace, it is rare to be peaceful, and to cut down the troubled times, but to open peace, heroes and heroes, righteous and evil ways, and leave it to the future to be judged by the world a hundred years later. Looking back on the past, the light and cold nineteen states, Qingfeng is ruthless. A hundred years of spirit. The world is full of wind and thunder. Sigh the ups and downs of this life, the turmoil is uncertain, and the sword in ten years is chivalrous. The sleeve is a blue snake, the waist hangs three feet, and the road is uneven. Facing the sky, look at the sword qi vertically and horizontally, and then open the green underworld. ”
The little girl was surprised: "Brother, you wrote it?"
Li Xuandu shook his head and sighed lightly: "This is a poem that Zhang Baiyue gave me back then, called "Sending Qinyuan Spring Taiping". ”
