The two of them held up the tea cups one after another, first observing the color, then smelling the aroma, and after drinking the tea, they appreciated the lingering fragrance.
“Good tea.”
Liu Changfeng, the former governor of County Liu, sighed.
"This tea... is quite similar to the dragon group given to the palace by Yu Gong." Yu Jianbai said uncertainly.
"Sure enough, Mr. Yu is a tea lover. He can taste such crude tea art." Song You said to him, "It was given by General Chen Ziyi. Thanks to his blessing, we and other mountain Taoists
You can also taste tea that only the emperor can drink."
"Sir, you are joking. I can't get any tea you want to drink." Yu Jianbai shook his head, put down his tea cup, and said with shame, "It's embarrassing to say that I have been busy with official duties recently. It has been so long since my husband returned to Beijing, and we didn't even know that he was back in Beijing."
I'm in Beijing, but I haven't come to visit until now. It's really a waste of time for me to be an old friend."
"What Mr. Yu said is true." Liu Changfeng said with a smile, "Mr. Yu often misses you. If I accidentally miss you this time, I will regret it in my intestines."
"You two are serious about your words."
"Mr. Liu is right. Thanks to Mr. Yu's awakening, Yu is what he is today. Now that he knows how to be an official, he realizes how confused he was in the first half of his life. I have to say thank you to Mr. Yu." Yu Jianbai said, raising his hands.
Sitting in his original position, he bowed and bowed, "To be honest, it's all thanks to General Chen. If it hadn't been for his Majesty's birthday a few days ago, he had a few words with General Chen in the palace. When talking about Mr. Yu, I would never have known him until now.
I don’t know how long it will take until my husband returns to Beijing to say thank you.”
"useless."
Song You said helplessly to them: "Since we are old friends, it's time to drink tea and reminisce about the past. It's better to let go of these tedious and boring things."
"Sir, what you said makes sense." Yu Jianbai said, "Although I have been separated from you these years, I have often heard your stories, especially after I was transferred back to Changjing. Others may not know it, but when we hear it, we all know it.
That’s sir. Compared to sir’s deeds, the fairy tales that Yu has heard in the past are nothing.”
After saying that, I couldn't help but shake my head and sighed: "Sir, it was so hard to deceive Yu..."
Although I sigh, I have no regrets.
At this time, his state of mind was very different from six years ago.
"I have never deceived Mr. Yu." Song You shook his head and said, "I am indeed not a god, and I do not know the method of immortality. When Mr. Yu asked me about my immortality, whether I live as long as the heaven and the earth, or coexist with the sun and the moon
I have never heard of such people and gods."
"Ha ha……"
Yu Jian laughed twice and didn't care anymore.
Once you become enlightened, you will never be the same again.
By this time he had taken another path.
Soon they were talking about the king's birthday a few days ago and General Chen at the banquet.
The original Governor Liu relied on his outstanding political achievements in Pujun, Hezhou and his superb skills in official circles, plus the support of Yu Jianbai, who almost served as deputy prime minister, and rose up in Changjing. A few days ago, he also reached the end of the emperor's birthday. Now
To put it bluntly, this is a lifelike thing.
The picture seemed to appear before Song You's eyes.
A few days ago, the emperor held a banquet in the palace, and the one who attracted the most attention was undoubtedly the Marquis of Wu'an, Chen Ziyi, who had just returned from the north.
When the wine was full, the emperor ordered him to dance with the sword.
At this time, Chen Ziyi controlled the entire Zhenbei Army and accounted for most of the combat strength of the entire Dayan Army. If they attacked together, they might be able to overthrow the imperial court. For various reasons, Chen Ziyi was everywhere in the imperial court at this time.
Even if Chen Ziyi was upright and not afraid of the rumors about his great achievements and his intention to rebel, he would still be affected by it and become nervous.
Don't talk about merit, just talk about force.
Who is Chen Ziyi?
He was born as a fighting general and had never been defeated. Many generals died under his hands. If they were bare-handed, the palace guards might be able to stop them. If they had weapons in their hands, they could take the emperor's life in a matter of seconds. What's more, it was that day.
At the emperor's birthday banquet, there were only civil and military ministers and not many bodyguards at all.
The ministers kept urging the emperor to be on guard against him, but the emperor insisted on inviting him into the palace for a night of drinking and talking.
It was the same today, and he was asked to dance with the sword.
The ministers were all nervous.
No one knows whether Chen Ziyi really wants to rebel, or whether he was forced to become the truth if he was originally a lie, nor whether he will go crazy under the pressure from the DPRK.
The palace that day was filled with sword light.
If Chen Ziyi really couldn't stand the gossip and frame-up of officials, couldn't stand the humiliation and pressure, and went crazy, the emperor might be dead in an instant.
The emperor was not afraid at all, he was very excited.
For a moment, he seemed even more arrogant than the general in front.
After the sword dance was over, Chen Ziyi returned the sword and asked for orders to hand over the military power of the three towns. He only took the military power of Yuanzhi City and Shuofeng City, requesting to return to the north and lead the troops deep into the northern part of the Great Wall to open up frontiers for the imperial court.
The emperor agreed on the spot.
The storm that had been discussed in the court for more than a year came to an end. Wu'anhou seemed to have truly become Wu'anhou until then, and he became very popular immediately. I don't know how many people went to talk to him.
After Liu Changfeng finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty is so courageous."
Yu Jianbai next to him narrowed his eyes and seemed to be caught up in the memories of that day. He was also full of sighs, but he sighed: "That day, Marquis Wu An's sword dance shocked countless people. Who would have thought that Chen Ziyi, who was invincible in the battlefield, could actually
Do you have the ability to dance with a sword?"
Dayan was a martial artist, and sword dancing was very popular in Dayan.
Some top sword dancers are as famous in the capital as some famous poets or courtesans.
However, martial arts and sword dancing are different. There are many differences between the two at first, but the more advanced they are, the greater the difference. For example, the top sword dancers in Changjing and the palace are generally slender women. At this time, sword dancing
It has become a purely sword-based dance, and the viewing quality has reached the extreme. Even the sword has been replaced with a special sword specially made for the sword dance. Sometimes the sword dances and floats out of the dust, and the long sword and the clothes are
Flying together is not like a mortal, but like a female swordswoman from the sky descending to earth. However, those strong warriors with their muscles often cannot produce this effect.
However, Song You had seen many sword dances by northern warriors.
"The military camps in the north are bitterly cold and boring. Sometimes at night they would set up bonfires in the camps, play bronze pipa and sing songs, and the generals and captains would dance with swords to add to the fun. It was a different style from Changjing," Song You said.
"Sir, he has traveled all over the world and has extensive knowledge." Yu Jianbai said, "It's a pity that my old frame cannot support me even if I want to go north to see more."
Then a few people continued to drink tea and chat.
Mainly chatting, not asking about political affairs, not talking about the people's livelihood in the world, just talking about the things in Yidu, the Songlu Yang Gong who played the piano, the great earthquake that year, and the Wanjiang girl in Changjing. I was very happy until
It was almost noon before they got up, said goodbye to Song You, and left immediately.
Talking with old friends is the most interesting thing.
"The Thousand-Character Essay" was opened and covered on the table. One end exposed the cat's head, eyes still closed tightly, and the other end exposed her tail, but it was shaking and tapping the table.
Song You stroked her beard and she didn't wake up.
When I held down her tail, it stopped moving. As soon as I let go of my hand, it immediately continued to shake the table.
Until there were footsteps outside.
"brush!"
The cat opened its eyes and raised its head to look outside.
It was the neighbor woman who came over.
It wasn't until the cat looked up at her that she walked to the door, stepped in at the same time, and looked at them:
"have you eaten?"
"not yet."
"Meow……"
"I have nothing to do but let you know. I heard that Divine Doctor Cai has returned to Angzhou. He was at a free clinic in Donghe County some time ago. I don't know how he left. I did the math. If he returned to Beijing, at this time
He should have returned to Beiqin Mountain, I am going to look for him." Wu Nuxia said, "We will set off this afternoon, hurry up, go early and come back early, I can't wait."
"Leaving this afternoon?"
"Yes." Wu Nuxia replied, "The main reason is that I don't know if I can find it. Even if I find it, I'm not sure if he will tell me if I ask him, so it's better to go early."
Song You glanced at the cat on the table.
Sanhua Empress is becoming more and more like a child.
It seemed that he had woken up just now, but he just didn't want to wake up. He was like a child who heard his elders chatting happily with other relatives in the living room outside the house. He woke up but didn't want to go out until his relatives left and he knew him.
When someone comes, it only takes a moment to wake up.
Song You thought for a while before saying:
"I don't know if the female hero knows it. In fact, when the Sanhua Empress and I were walking in the north, when we passed by Hezhou, we also saw the style of the miracle doctor Cai. We have a fate and we can be regarded as old friends. If the female hero goes there this time, if we successfully find Cai
Miracle doctor, please be sure to say hello to me and tell him that I will also visit him before the end of the year."
"Hey! You want to help me?"
"This is how it should be between old friends."
"That's not necessary. If he wants to say it, just say it. If he doesn't want to say it, forget it. Anyway, I only need a final confirmation. In fact, whether I can get an answer from him or not, I have almost found out."
"I'd better ask the heroine to tell me that I will visit him before the end of the year, so that I won't be in vain again."
"Okay, I'll talk about it after asking."
"Thank you."
Song You thanked her and said nothing more.
Song You didn't know much about her. She only heard that her father had once been a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but was framed by an adulterer and his whole family was destroyed. So she spent five years in Changjing to find out.
Who were the people who murdered the whole family? At that time, Dr. Cai was still opening a clinic in the capital and was regarded as a guest by many dignitaries. Maybe they knew something.
After finding out, she will probably leave Beijing.
"Then are you still studying?"
The calico cat looked up at her and asked blankly.
"Of course I have to read it. I bought two new books. I plan to take them with me and read them when I have time." Wu Nuxia said, "If I see Teacher Sanhua again in the future and ask you for advice, don't be unable to answer."
"Certainly not!"
"That's good."
"What about the Sanhua Empress exorcising evil spirits and subduing demons?"
"Aren't you already on the line with the Yamen? Why do you need me to introduce business to you?"
"right……"
"Besides, I can't introduce it to you. My old friend from Wude made a death plea a few days ago. He said he was beheaded by the prince. Oh my god, these people pride themselves on being noble and won't take other people's lives.
It’s destined.”
Wu Nuxia was indignant.
In anger, he didn't want to say anything. He waved his hand to the Taoist, bowed his hand to Mao'er, and walked out directly.
The yellow-maned horse that had been with her for many years was already waiting outside the door.
"I should come back again."
Wu Nuxia left a message and led the horse away directly.
Only the Taoist and the cat were left in the house.
The cat turned to look at the Taoist. The Taoist gently stroked the hair on the cat's back. The cat and the cat looked at each other. The Taoist was silent, not knowing what to think, and did not speak for a long time.
