Chapter 1 Emergence (Mikami) If there hadn't been the fire on the Liaohe River, the fate of many people would have been completely different. At least for Li Waner, at this moment she doesn't have to pretend to be the man who once made her heart beat faster.
He looks calm and says things he doesn't mean, but his stomach is full of turmoil.
She once thought he was dead, died of the sudden rumor, and jumped into the rolling Yellow River with full of grief, anger and despair. For this, she secretly cried several times, and even quietly threw a few rice balls on the ferry.
He was thrown into the water to express his grief. However, he appeared again alive and kicking at the foot of the mountain, and he was accompanied by an alluring beauty.
That woman is about the same age as Wan'er. In addition to her eye-catching appearance, she also has an indescribable charm about her. She is neither luxurious nor humble. She is so peaceful that people unconsciously want to get close to her.
, and dare not use secular eyes to blaspheme
If we use flowers to describe women, Wan'er is a blooming peony, Qi'er is a frosty plum, and the woman who followed Li Xu up the mountain ridge is a red lotus, delicate, tall and straight.
However, when Gao Jie first saw her, the breath of almost half of the men in the village was stagnant. However, Wan'er couldn't ask her who she was and what her relationship was with Li Xu. These questions had to be asked by Qi'er.
, with her current status, she is not qualified to interfere in her brother-in-law’s housework!
But she couldn't turn a blind eye. Although at this moment, "the emperor has a wife, Luo Fu has a husband", as the eldest daughter of the Li family, she has the responsibility to protect her sister's life from being disturbed. Now it is heard that Luo Yi is leading an army to attack Yixian County.
Zhen'er and the soldiers of the six counties are fighting bloody battles for him, but he is enjoying himself with the beauty. What kind of truth is this?
After experiencing the surprise when they first met, the joy in Li Waner's heart was quickly replaced by anger. But in front of Qi Po Ning, Wang Yuantong and other old friends, she couldn't find a chance to get angry, so she had to knock out her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.
As soon as Li Xu, Wang Yuantong, Qi Poning and others went up the mountain, they talked endlessly about their respective experiences after the defeat. Wan'er may have been familiar with these stories for a long time, or she had heard Wang Yuantong and others explain that she couldn't afford to fight anyway.
She listened with spirit, but Li, Wang and others could not understand her mood, they just laughed and raised their glasses to each other.
"Apart from the two of you, who else was sold to the north by the Mohe people. Did they have a chance to escape later?" Li Xu put down the wine cup and asked with a smile.
"There should be Qin Ziying, but he is smart and escaped from the tribe in a few days. Unlike us brothers, he is tall and strong, and he looks like he has strength, so he is watched closely every day, which is enough
It took me more than a year as a shepherd slave to have a chance to escape!" Wang Yuantong smiled and shook his head while drinking. In his eyes, his past experiences were just a plate of dried beef, which he could take out and share with his friends slowly, and taste the wine.
"Other people don't know that the Mohe tribe is very scattered, and they rarely interact with each other. It was one tribe that captured us, and it was another tribe that bought us as slaves. Later, the tribes started fighting again, and the tribes helped the Goguryeo people fight.
We became the trophies of the third family. Fortunately, Lao Wang and I were never separated. We had someone to take care of each other. We survived the first hard days, and our bones became stronger. So we took advantage of their spring to move.
, snatched the horse and ran away, but no one came to chase him!" Qi Po Ning also had a carefree temperament, and answered all Li Xu's questions. Occasionally the woman in pink would refill his drink, and he would squint his eyes with joy.
Lines, scars crisscrossing the face beating like loaches
"If I had known that you guys were still alive, I would have gone to the outside of the Great Wall to redeem you! I was negligent and thought you had been imprisoned in the pagoda!" Li Xu raised his wine cup and apologized loudly.
"Brother Xuzi, it's enough for you to have this heart. In fact, there is nothing wrong with hiding in Mohe. It's hard to suffer a little, but you are not forced to conquer Liao for the second time. Otherwise, who knows that the two unlucky guys like us will die there.
Where?" Wang Yuantong smiled, raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
The later experience was even simpler. Like all people who were unwilling to work for the imperial court, after returning to the Central Plains, they did not dare to return to their hometowns and had to go up to the mountains to work as grass bandits. After all, they had received formal training in the food protection team. Qi and Wang were very good at it.
He quickly stood out from the minions and became small bosses, big bosses, and branch village leaders, just like Li Xu did in the officialdom. He climbed up step by step until a village fire merged and the original big village leader was killed by a stray arrow.
The two of them naturally became the first and second most powerful cottage within a three-hundred-mile radius of Wangwushan.
"Actually, we saw you two years ago. At that time, you were enjoying your time as an official, so we were too embarrassed to go down the mountain to meet each other!" After drinking for a while, Qi Po Ning recalled with a smile.
"When?" Li Xu asked in surprise.
"Last time you passed by Wangwu Mountain, Li Mi gave everyone a green forest order, telling us to stop you. Lao Qi and I sent away his messenger with good words, and then we moved a maza by ourselves and sat on the top of the mountain waiting for you to pass by.
Seeing your boy riding a black horse, he said majestically, our Xuzi has become a high official, but he still looks like a real person..."
"No wonder I always felt like I was being stared at. It turned out to be you two!" Li Xu laughed, pouring wine and wiping the corners of his eyes. These are real brothers. Even if they have different paths, they will watch each other move forward, and
I send him blessings silently in my heart. If you have a few brothers like this in your life, you will never be lonely at any time.
They just drank and reminisced about the past, deliberately not mentioning how to take the future. Xuzi could see that Qi Poning and Wang Yuantong had chosen the Li family in Hedong as their loyalties. Judging from the current situation, this was a good arrangement.
The Li family tree in Hedong has deep roots and countless disciples. If they really raise the flag of righteousness, most of the area west of Dongdu will soon fall into their hands. And Li Yuan is also a relatively generous person, and will not treat those who have served the dragon badly.
Qi and Wang are not lobbyists for the Li family in Hedong. They believe that Xuzi will make his own judgments and choices. The three people are in different positions and the goals they pursue will not be the same. For Qi and Wang, they
He needs to wash away his identity as a bandit and establish his own achievements. For Li Xu, who has become a prince, he has achievements and reputation, and has tasted the glory. What needs to be done next?
What they want is to return to Boling safely, keep their own one-third of an acre of land, and compete for the world in the future. Whether one surrenders the bail and is safe, it is far from equal. The two kings can control it.
Friendships are often the hottest when there are no demands on each other. Drinking this kind of wine is more enjoyable and faster. The three of them forgot about the existence of Wan'er and the woman in pink. They drank from each other and drank to their heart's content.
"Let them go crazy, let's go for a walk in the back mountain!" Li Waner was really uninterested, winked at the woman in pink, and stood up with a smile.
"Sworn brother!" The woman in pink asked Li Xu for instructions in a low voice.
"Go! If you are full, you can go out with Mrs. Chai to stretch your muscles. We will only stay here for one night, and we have to continue our journey early tomorrow morning!" Li Xu waved his hand and said carelessly.
Many years have passed since the incident, and the regrets at that time have gradually faded away. The chance reunion made it stronger again, but Li Xu knew that his heart was already full and he could not make more room for anyone. So he could only grasp it.
Self, let regret always become regret
"Come on, men are like dogs seeing meat and bones when they see wine!" Li Waner cursed with a smile and reached out to pull the arm of the woman in pink.
"Hongfu appreciates the generosity and heroism in it!" The words of the woman in pink were carried back by the mountain breeze, which made people feel extremely comfortable.
Although the two women were both unusually beautiful, they knew how to keep things in perspective. As they chatted, they walked towards the back of the mountain, which was only half way up the hill. They had gradually become acquainted with each other.
"I have long heard that Mrs. Chai is a hero among women, and I have always regretted that I never had the opportunity to meet her." The woman in pink clothes has a good eye for things, and she always maintains respect for Wan'er in her words, "Today I finally have a chance, even if Hongfu eats more
Lu, this trip is worth it!”
"Sister, it's better to call me Wan'er. It's not a formal occasion. You call me Mrs., which sounds strange!" Wan'er smiled and protested in a low voice.
"Hong Fu doesn't dare. Madam is so noble, how can I, a prostitute, call her by her first name!" Zhang Chuchen squatted slightly and insisted politely.
"Now the Wangwu Mountain we are in is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Sui Dynasty. Anyone outside, whether it is the daughter of the Duke or an ordinary citizen, looks exactly the same when they enter the mountain. No one is half a head taller than the other!" Wan'er stretched out her hand to help others!
Holding each other's arm, the smile is irresistible
Hongfu's arms were as strong as hers, but her instinctive choice to give in was not because of fear, but because of her habit of getting along with others. "Then the folk girl has reached a higher level, sister Wan'er!" She responded with a smile, with a smile.
The accent with a little bit of Wu accent feels very soft to human ears.
"What does Gao Pan mean? How can the sister of a dignified champion general be considered Gao Pan?" Wan'er's brows twitched and she chuckled, blaming her for having been in the army for many years and recently becoming the boss of the Wangwushan bandits.
, his words naturally showed a bit of domineering. Although he was smiling, he was also imposing.
"I didn't know he was a champion general at the beginning. I thought he was a thief who wanted to plunder a fat sheep, so I was entrusted by everyone to go to him to negotiate terms. I also put a knife in my sleeve. Who knew that as soon as I walked in, I found out
He was looking at a few incense sticks in a daze and looked very haggard, so I felt soft-hearted and talked to him for a while!" Hongfu is a smart man. He already knew what Wan'er wanted to find out, so he told the truth without waiting for further questioning. "He initially
He told me his surname was Zhang, and we happened to have the same surname...
"Your sworn brother's maternal clan is the Shanggu Zhang family!" Li Waner interrupted Hong Fu's explanation with a smile, "He is actually named Li, and he is the most famous champion general in this dynasty!"
"I found out later, I was scared half to death!" Hongfu patted his chest gently with his hand, and Wan'er was so angry at the amorous expression he showed instantly. "But I didn't know it at the time, so I muddleheadedly became a brother and sister with him. But at that time, I also
I lied to him and smeared the lotion all over his face, making him look like an ugly monster!"
"What kind of potion can actually make life ugly!" Wan'er guessed from the other party's explanation that Li Xu was not in the relationship with him as she had previously suspected. She felt relieved and her smile became lively.
"It's made of Coptis chinensis, white mud and other things. I usually do entertainment everywhere. In order not to get into trouble, I always apply it on my face!" Hongfu took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and waved it in front of Wan'er's eyes. "
But there is no need to pretend in front of his sworn brother, his heart has already been filled up and will not tolerate any other woman! On the road, he sacrificed his sister-in-law every day. As soon as he went up the mountain, he immediately sent someone to Boling to offer sacrifices to another woman.
A sister-in-law delivers the letter!”
Intentionally or unintentionally, she said the word 'sister-in-law' and placed it very clearly in front of Wan'er.
"His wife is my biological sister!" Wan'er smiled and made the relationship between them clear.
"Then he wants to call you sister." Hongfu's laughter immediately became bright, like a stream flowing in the valley, "Then Hongfu should call Wan'er sister." After that, he went down
Squat down and formally give the gift of sisterhood
"Anyway, just don't call me madam!" Li Waner smiled and knelt down, returning the other person's courtesy.
The two women looked at each other and smiled, as if the spring breeze had blown through the residual snow, and the estrangement between them was instantly eliminated. Since they are not enemies, the relationship has become closer easily. Wan'er is a mature and majestic female hero, and Hongfu is also in the world.
Of the ten sentences in "Experienced Romance", nine of the two people's sentences were congenial. In the blink of an eye, they felt that it was too late to meet each other. It was only to blame that Li Xu had not contacted each other earlier.
"My sworn brother is actually very pitiful. He fought for the imperial court, but the imperial court stabbed him in the back, causing his other pregnant wife to die, and the child in her belly was not saved. But he couldn't avenge them, otherwise
It will be regarded as ungrateful!" The most common topic between the two is about Li Xu, especially Hong Fu, who very smartly realized that the sworn brother still occupies a certain position in Wan'er's heart, so he talked about everything he knew.
"Based on the situation at that time, even if he wanted to take revenge, he probably didn't have enough strength. Most of his troops were soldiers from Henan County, and they might not be willing to follow him in rebellion. Even if he was forced to go to the battlefield with coercion, his combat effectiveness would not be displayed.
"Half as much as before." Wan'er has analyzed the reasons for Li Xu's defeat many times and is very clear about the mystery. "Besides, the people who really caused his wife and children to break up were not the gang of officials in Dongdu. All of those guys seemed smart.
In fact, they have become the sword in other people’s hands!”
"Sister, are you saying that there is someone else who framed my sworn brother?" Hongfu was surprised and asked Ruo about her experience in the world. She is more than ten times more experienced than Wan'er. But when it comes to the ways in which wealthy families exclude each other, she
My heart is as clean as a piece of white paper, and there is no way I can compare it with Wan'er.
"Of course, the person who suddenly spread rumors that the Li family in Hedong wanted to raise troops to clear the emperor's side was the real murderer! Although my father had long wanted to reorganize the country, he always felt that the time was not right. With a rumor, this person not only destroyed Zhongjian
The situation that we worked so hard to open up has pushed the Hedong Li family to the edge of the cliff!" Li Waner gritted her teeth, her face filled with anger.
She would not let the rumor mongers go. After hearing the rumors, Dongdu showed goodwill to Hedong and put all the relatives of the Li family in the capital and Luoyang under surveillance. If she hadn't escaped quickly enough, everyone would have died at this moment.
He would be hung on the city wall, and the family that had been maintained by the appearance of respect as a guest also collapsed. The husband, who was known as a heroic man, escaped alone, without even looking back when he left.
Wan'er does not hate her husband Chai Shao. As a transaction between wealthy families, this marriage cannot withstand any storm. Moreover, Chai Shao has done enough for the Li family in the past few years. He deserves the status of Tang Gong's son-in-law. But if he
With half the courage of Zhen'er, Wan'er thought more than once on the way to escape that it would be a completely different ending. She would not watch Zhongjian being framed, and Zhongjian would not abandon herself and run away alone.
"He will not leave me!" This answer is like the mountain wind in the middle of the night, waking Wan'er up from her dreams time and time again. But the reality in front of her is that she and he are meeting again, and she can only feel his feelings from other people's narrations.
Generosity and strength
"But the origin of the rumor cannot be traced at all. Where is my sister going to find the perpetrator?" Hong Fu was startled by Wan'er's sudden and uncertain expression, and asked timidly.
"No matter how deep the conspiracy is, it will leave clues. As long as we have time and patience, we will definitely be able to uncover this person. Not only is Zhongjian the only one who has a grudge against him, but dozens of people in my Li family also died because of him."
As long as I can find this person, no matter who he is or what his identity is, I will cut him into pieces with my own hands without mercy!"
It was already summer, but Wan'er's words made people shiver. Hongfu had never seen a person burnt by hatred like this. It was as if there were knives hidden in the corners of his eyebrows, and his delicate face suddenly became...
She had never seen that kind of ferocious hatred in the eyes of her sworn brother Zhongjian, even though he was the most direct victim of the rumors. Looking back on it from afar, it was hidden deep in her heart
