When Gao Jiajun toasted to celebrate, he was the only one who spent the night expressionless.
"Miko? Saint? Who is the saint..."
Yu Wenxuan is a complete outsider in the Gao family army, just like he was born into the royal family but was a commoner and has never been truly recognized. For this reason, everything he is assigned to do is to do things that are very public and thankless.
So to some extent, he has long been used to being left out.
Legend has it that a dragon gave birth to nine sons, each with his or her own merits. In order to prove to the people of Li that he was possessed by a "real dragon", the king of the Zhou Dynasty also gave birth to nine sons in total.
This ninth son is none other than Yu Wenxuan.
However, the ninth son seemed to be born dull and only learned to speak at the age of five.
When he was five years old, Yu Wenxuan's concubine passed away. He stood in front of the coffin like a fool for three days and three nights, and then finally said the first words of his life in front of everyone.
--I'm hungry.
All the brothers are so good among men, how could you expect such a foolish ninth son to be here?
It is said that the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty was reluctant to follow Gao Huan's example and proclaim himself emperor because he was afraid of the backlash from the legend.
The so-called ninth son was more like a shame and was hidden in the palace for a long time.
Only Yu Wenxuan himself knows what kind of life he has lived in the palace these years. Even if he wants to talk, no stranger is willing to know: How can a stupid person become the chief envoy under the monarch?
"I seem to know why Bai Feng is so special."
The remaining candle on the table was slightly lit. The guard Zhu Dian was about to change the wick for Yu Wenxuan who was still staying up late reading documents. He asked: "I don't know why the young master is so interested in that boy. After we said goodbye to Beizhen,
The young master has always thought about it."
Yu Wenxuan smiled comfortably and said: "Dadian, do you still remember how we met?"
"Why did the young master suddenly mention this matter?" After a slightly intimate "Da Dian", Zhu Dian shrank his huge body and sat next to Yu Wenxuan: "Your mother died of illness that day, and all of us servants were about to be dismissed.
If you go back to your hometown, if you are lucky, you can be favored by other princes and stay in the capital, but if you are unlucky, you can only go back and live a life without a place or future."
Yu Wenxuan looked at the other party and said seriously: "At that time, you were favored by the eldest brother and the second brother. You could have followed them to seek an official position and would not have to worry about life for the rest of your life. Why did you want to stay with me in the end?"
"Because..." Zhu Tian choked.
——I want to protect the family and the people.
——Boy, do you know what you are talking about?
"Uh?!" Zhu Dian seemed to have seen Yu Wenxuan when he was a child.
——Boy, let me go! What on earth are you doing? You haven’t eaten enough yet, have you?
——Don't be afraid, I will protect you.
"Ha, who wants your protection?" Zhu Dian teased kindly.
Yu Wenxuan replied: "I will be the kind of person my mother talks about, protect the family and the people, so that no one will be bullied like my mother."
This time-traveling conversation made the two of them wander for a long time. Yu Wenxuan was the first to come back to his senses, patted Zhu Dian on the shoulder and said, "Did I do it? Dadian, I was protecting the family and the people, right?
"
"Young Master..." Zhu Dian looked sad, showing a gentle expression that was completely inconsistent with his figure, and joked: "At that time, you still said this while crying."
Yu Wenxuan said: "Tell me, I haven't let you down in these years, right?"
"Are you telling the truth?" Zhu Dian looked at him and asked.
Yuwenxuan nodded.
"My lord, your progress is far beyond my imagination." Zhu Dian replied: "From a person who can't speak clearly to a Confucian scholar who can speak eloquently in front of everyone, and finally succeeded in speaking in front of the king.
Win back respect... Young Master, you are worthy of anyone, you have done enough."
"It's not enough, it's far from enough." Yu Wenxuan shook his head sadly: "I found that what I had been lacking in my heart was seen in Bai Feng."
"What?" Zhu Tian said.
"I can't tell in words, I can only see and feel." Yu Wenxuan suddenly stood up and walked around in a daze: "That woman, and Bai Feng..."
Zhu Dian thought he was smart and said: "Master, are you talking about 'Zen'? I once heard a senior monk teach me, and the 'Zen' in his mouth was something that cannot be expressed in words."
"No, it may be very close, but that feeling is not 'Zen', but something purer and simpler." Yu Wenxuan continued to talk: "When we get to our residence in Dazhou, Dadian, please be sure to explore
If you know the real details of Murong Yan and Bai Feng, then start from the people around them, such as that little follower."
"Why don't such talented people belong to me, the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Yu Wenxuan continued.
Zhu Dian stood up and agreed, then bowed his hands and stepped back.
Early the next morning, the Gao family's army broke out of camp and set off.
The little leader Bai Feng captured last night said frankly that Huang Yixiao, the commander-in-chief of the Beizhen coalition forces, had never changed his traitorous nature and allowed his soldiers to rob merchants and herdsmen, euphemistically calling it "robbing the rich and giving to the poor."
The small force that was easily defeated by Bai Feng and a hundred men was just a vanguard force wandering nearby. Because the military pay was delayed, they threw away the military flag and turned into bandits and robbed a caravan.
But in fact, everyone knows that the only ones Huang Yixiao can control are his personal guards. He is a "puppet general" supported by the Yuyi Zhao family, and most of the robbery is not done by regular troops.
This kind of army, which is half ruffian and half madman, is the opponent of the Gao family army in this battle.
The process of marching is always very long. Sometimes people feel that everything around them has stopped and only their feet are moving. If you want all the fatigue of the military journey to end quickly, the easiest way is to fall into thinking.
This kind of pure cultivation and meditation that seems to only exist among Taoists and Buddhists, others will often see it in Bai Feng.
He is clearly riding a horse and his eyes are looking forward, but you can feel that he is deep in thought, meditating, so no one dares to disturb him. Even if you want to call him, you have to think twice in advance, for fear that you will not be able to do it.
The nagging of meaning will destroy any good idea.
But Yu Wenxuan just didn't do this.
I saw this noble young master riding up in a swaggering manner and shouted: "General Bai Feng, in front of us is our garrison in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I ask the general to come to our banquet to reward the army and personally introduce the general to meet the garrison."
Sir."
"Yu Wenxuan?" Bai Feng replied impatiently: "Don't you usually ask a general for a recommendation for this kind of thing? I'm just a deputy general, not even the most important 'deputy general'. Mr. Yuwen really compliments me."
"This is a special situation. Please be sure to be present, General Bai Feng, and other officers of the Gao Family Army will also be present." Yu Wenxuan finished speaking and quietly returned to the back of the procession on horseback.
During this period, he also happily greeted Murong Yan.
