Chapter 378: Fairy Xiaoxiang, deep love between master and servant
In terms of bloodiness, the people of the Great Xia Dynasty were quite bloody, not to mention the Yongping Marquis Mansion, who had great military exploits. Even Wang Ziteng, a logistical military attache who was always regarded as a representative of conservative war-fearing circles, dared to do so.
The courage to give it a try is bloody, let alone Xu Lingkuan?
As the fifth master of the Xu family, I don’t know how many eyes are watching in the dark.
This is the Xu family.
Although Xu Lingkuan's chief official position in the Beijing camp was only a seventh rank, he was a serious official in vacancy and held five hundred elite troops in the Beijing camp.
Even though the fifth master of the Xu family can fish at home and watch movies and play with his wife on weekdays, he still has to go to Dian Mao for a big fuck once every ten days.
Facing his brother's gaze, Xu Lingkuan was a little embarrassed and hesitant: "I want to fight against my brothers. If you really want to take charge of the battle, the younger brother really has no reason to hide in the capital and enjoy the blessings. Uh..." Go on.
The next words made the fifth master of the Xu family feel really embarrassed, and he was at a loss for words for a while.
It's not that he doesn't know how to speak, but sometimes there are things that don't need to be said between brothers.
Xu Lingyi looked at his younger brother with interest, and after a moment, he laughed.
Xu Lingkuan was a little stunned.
Laughed.
He actually laughed.
From the time I can remember, my brother has always been a serious person.
Marquis Yongping stood up and slowly walked around the desk: "Since you have this intention, I might as well tell you to be more diligent recently and don't just focus on watching the show."
Xu Lingkuan was slightly startled: "Do you really want to fight?"
"Well..." Marquis Yongping said with a serious expression: "They killed so many of us in the past years, how can we let Sengge get his wish again this year!?"
"Of course not!"
Xu Lingkuan blurted out, then he was stunned again and murmured to himself: "So, Lang Geer really guessed it right."
"He doesn't have to guess at all..." Xu Lingyi shook his head and looked at the puzzled look on his brother's face. He slowly stood up, took off the sword hanging on the wall, and drew it out with a swipe.
The shape of this long sword is not fancy at all. The hilt is wrapped with black rope, and there are only simple carvings on the scabbard and sword grid.
The only eye-catching thing is that this sword has two parallel blood grooves on its blade.
Even across the desk, I can still feel the chill brought by this sword.
It looks like an ordinary iron sword, similar to that used by ordinary soldiers in the arsenal, but it is a treasure that has been passed down by the Xu family for several generations.
It's just such an ordinary sword.
An ordinary, murderous sword.
The light of the candle reflected on the blade of the sword, emitting a faint cold light.
"A feud with a country will lead to national humiliation. As a general of the Great Xia, it would be a disgrace to not fight when insulted!" Xu Lingyi sheathed his sword and said, "A man of seven feet should have the courage to fight ten times and fight ten times, even if the court is full of people.
None of the Dukes dare to fight, so you and I, warriors, should also have the courage to fight!"
Xu Lingkuan, impressed by Xu Lingyi's momentum, nodded.
After looking at Xu Lingkuan intently for a few breaths, Xu Lingyi smiled, turned around and put down his sword: "Compared to the young Huiyuan Lang of the Jia family, Fifth Master, you don't look like a disciple of martial arts."
"ah?"
"The establishment of the Four Kings and Nine Borders is not to follow the old system, but to attack, to further attack!"
"Attack?" Xu Lingkuan was puzzled, and the surprise in his eyes became more and more intense.
In his impression, Yongping Hou Xu Lingyi was a silent and steady brother, a qualified commander, and an official who knew how to protect himself in court.
How could such a person not know the principle of "If you use military force to waste troops, misfortune will never come back"? How could you not know that the scholars have been advocating the cultivation of martial arts and culture? In the court, from the emperor to the cabinet, they have always been very restrained and will not easily use troops.
.
If it hadn't been for the fact that Seng Ge brazenly entered the border area of Kinggi and aroused the emperor's anger, the matter would probably have been muddle-headed.
"You are right to think so..." Xu Lingyi nodded lightly, "But I, Daxia, don't just know how to hide behind the city wall. Since others have attacked me, there is no reason not to return it."
"But..." Xu Lingkuan was still puzzled. It was not a year or two before Sengge joined the invaders. Why did it only happen today that the Gonggun princes in the court did so?
unless……
Xu Lingkuan opened his mouth in silence: "Could it be that? Your Majesty, he needs a war?!"
"good."
After Xu Lingyi sat back at the desk again, he nodded invisibly: "As a general, you will have to fight tomorrow. Huiyuan Lang is worthy of being the queen of the Rongguo, yes..."
"Um..." Xu Lingyi rarely praises others. "Not bad" is already a very high rating. Xu Lingkuan was happy that he had made Jia Lan, a friend who could be recognized by his brother, but he was also a little ashamed of himself.
"Fifth Master, you don't need to worry about it..." Sensing the fluctuations in Xu Lingkuan's mood, Xu Lingyi began to persuade: "It's good that you can understand and gain something from it."
Again...not bad??
Xu Lingkuan couldn't hide his excitement, but he unconsciously looked away from his brother, and something seemed to be shining in his eyes.
But when Xu Lingyi put his hand on his younger brother's shoulder and said something slowly, the fifth master of the Xu family seemed to have a different demeanor. He nodded heavily towards Marquis Yongping and turned around to leave.
Under the moonlight, after bidding farewell to the excited Xu Lingkuan under the eaves, the commander of the Beijing camp returned to the room and sat alone, looking out the window in silence.
After a long time, he whispered something.
"The so-called martial arts is the sword in the hands of the Holy One. If it is just fighting, what do we have to fear?"
The sound of rustling wind flowed past the window.
It's not autumn, but it has a hint of solemnity.
…
Grand View Garden.
"The moonlight is shining brightly tonight. I wonder if Mr. Huiyuan has any masterpieces?"
Under the cover of thousands of green bamboos, Lin Daiyu leaned against the beauty in the corridor under the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, pursed her lips towards Jia Lan, and reminded: "Be serious, don't try to use 'the moon in the sky is round and round'
Come and tell me, this kind of doggerel is not even as good as the poems written by Xiangling now. It is ridiculous for Tangtang Huiyuan to write such a poem."
Jialan's mouth twitched slightly.
Just say it's not literary enough and doesn't suit your liking.
strangeness.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I am obviously not a sentimental girl at heart, but I just like this kind of sentimental writing.
In the past, Lin Daiyu had poor health and was judged by Miaoyu to have a defective nature, and her temperament was like that of a sick Xi Shi.
Physical illnesses are difficult to treat, so Jia Lan starts with heart illnesses.
It took a lot of effort to make Daiyu feel more cheerful, but as a result, the burden of being a female literary youth became heavier and heavier.
No matter how beautiful the moon is, is it worth looking at it all the time?
Talking poems to the moon, are you not afraid of feeding mosquitoes? Aren't you afraid of watching and suddenly hearing some horrible murmurs in your ears?
Jia Lan complained silently, and after pondering for a while, he replied: "There are three parts of the autumn moonlight in the world, and two parts of it shine in Shuixin Pavilion."
"Ha~" Lin Daiyu glanced at Jia Lan with her beautiful eyes angrily, "In the poem written by people from the BC Yuan Dynasty, I changed just one word and almost copied it. You are too lazy!" She cast a lowered gaze.
The moon in the water reflected the white moonlight, and he nodded slightly and said, "But...it's quite suitable for the occasion."
Jia Lan smiled when he saw this: "Since Aunt Lin thinks it's the right time, why don't you come with me for a walk? Don't you hear that Li Taibai said that a Taoist can't reach the bright moon, but the moon moves with people? What you hear with your ears is not as good as what you see with your eyes.
It’s better to put it into practice, that’s the truth.”
Daiyu couldn't help but exclaimed when she heard this.
Jialan smiled secretly.
You can shake off the burden of being a young person, and I can also hold high the banner of fitness.
Speaking of which, I really miss it. Jia Lan, who had just graduated and started working, hated outdoor team building the most. He was almost exhausted every time and couldn't ask for leave. Otherwise, the person who used "team spirit" as an excuse to act pua
The boss will immediately jump up and down to arrange a new round of brainwashing.
Sure enough, as soon as she heard Jia Lan say "go for a walk", Daiyu immediately became stressed.
She covered her mouth and yawned, leaned back and pretended to be lazy and said: "It's late at night, I want to rest. If you want to take a walk, we can wait until tomorrow!"
In order to increase her persuasiveness, Daiyu also added: "In the past, I always rested at this time."
"Ha..." Jia Lan laughed for a while: "You are just lazy. I heard the girls said that you haven't had an early rest in the past six months. You always bury yourself in front of the desk and wait until almost the second watch before you are willing to take a rest. Now
But it’s not even the first watch yet.”
Daiyu's pupils dilated slightly, and there was a trace of embarrassment in her eyes. After a while, she turned back and said: "Okay, you two! You two have learned enough about the behavior of the young tongue-tied woman, and she made me look like a woman in this room.
It’s like a sieve, if people outside know about it, they’ll think I’m easy to bully?”
Xue Yan, who was full of childishness, spread her hands: "Anyway, we two talkative women can't control the girl. Now that Lange'er is back, naturally we should let him control her!"
Daiyu raised her beautiful eyebrows and said "yo", and said with a smile: "Yes? I would like to hear Miss Xueyan talk about it, what should I do?"
Xueyan glanced at Jia Lan, exchanged glances with Zijuan and then said with a smile: "This word means literally, let someone who can control the girl take care of the girl. How about this house?"
Besides Lan Ge'er, who else here can really take care of you, the girl? We can't let the two of us go find Sister-in-law Zhu to come over, right?"
"You guys!" An inexplicable blush spread from her neck to her cheeks. Daiyu was immediately so embarrassed by Xueyan's words that she subconsciously looked away.
Seeing this, Jia Lan quickly came out to smooth things over, and the two girls left with a smile.
Daiyu, who had regained consciousness, glared at Jia Lan angrily: "I'm surprised, whose girl is the girl next to me?"
When Jia Lan heard this, a smile emerged from the corner of her mouth, and she said firmly: "Who else can she be? I am your girl, and I will treat your girl wholeheartedly."
Daiyu was stunned for a moment, and most of the momentum she had originally built up was gone. As if to cover up something, Daiyu raised her fan and waved it, looked at the two girls in the distance, and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "Anyway
You have said all the good things, what else can I say? How about I give them both to you?"
Jia Lan replied with a smile: "I'm afraid Aunt Lin may say this, but she's very reluctant to give up in her heart."
"No way!"
Daiyu opened her mouth to retort, but before she could say a word, Xue Yan held her arm in one hand.
"I'm not going anywhere! I'm just staying with the girl!"
