Green willows hang low, the fragrance of flowers overflows, and it is surrounded by white walls and black tiles, making the courtyard elegant and tranquil.
Yang Lin had a drink with the officials of Henan Prefecture for a while, then walked excitedly, passed through the Moon Gate, walked through the brocade garden, and led directly to a two-story building. The boudoir upstairs was very clean, but the layout was excellent.
luxurious.
On the south wall is a red sandalwood antique shelf with seven or eight antique jade articles placed on it. On the side is a large blue and white plate containing dozens of delicate yellow Buddha hands. On the east bed is a crimson light thick silk curtain, surrounded by
With gold thread.
On the dressing table on the west side, there is a polished gilt bronze mirror. The beauty in the mirror has just put down the ivory comb in her hand, lightly touched her crimson lips with a lip pencil dipped in rouge, and then used her delicate jade fingers to touch the lips.
The cherry lips are more delicate with some paint.
"Lingyun, you are so beautiful today!" Huang Xuanzhi, wearing a bridal red dress, said with a smile.
"No way, you are more beautiful." Little Taoist Sister Lingyun was a little embarrassed and turned around and said.
Huang Xuanzhi stepped forward and hugged Little Taoist Lingyun. In an instant, a pair of beautiful faces appeared in a bronze mirror. Their beauty was more than doubled.
The two of them looked at themselves in the mirror and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. They turned their heads at the same time, their faces were red, one pinched the corner of her skirt, and the other twisted her long black hair.
After all, Huang Xuanzhi was more lively and had already made friends with Yang Lin many times. She bit her lip and said with a smile, "Have you already fallen in love with my cousin?"
Lingyun paused in shame, and the two started chasing each other again.
At this time, the door opened, and Yang Lin, who was slightly drunk, walked in wearing a round-neck t-shirt with a hairpin on his head.
In each hand, he held the two young brides who were laughing around the table under his ribs, and they laughed and kicked up their feet together.
...
A little tabby cat was hiding in the sun under a tree in the courtyard. Suddenly, a warbler was heard wailing upstairs, which was extremely clear in this quiet garden.
The kitten started to run away, but after a while, its voice gradually became lower, and then it slowly lowered its guard, readjusted to a comfortable position, and continued to take a nap in the sun.

Early the next morning, the barracks on the outskirts of Luoyang began to be tidied up, and hundreds of guards escorted a carriage out at the city gate.
Luoyang officials said goodbye from behind, and Yang Lin waved before opening the curtain and entering the car.
The two petite and cute little brides in the car looked at him with smiles. Yang Lin laughed, sat in the middle, and said loudly: "Go to Chang'an!"
Chang'an County of Jingzhao Prefecture is the heartland of Qinlong. It used to be the territory of the Zhong family, but now...the current court does not allow generals on the ground to have their own territory.
The Western Army was the most successful of Wang Anshi's reforms, and it cultivated an elite division for the Song Dynasty that could fight tough battles.
However, there are some disadvantages. Now that Xixia has been annihilated, the privileges of the Western Army no longer exist.
Now there is no need for them to raise food and grass themselves. The imperial court has sufficient supplies. In addition, the northwest generals have been attacked several times, and they have lost their ambition to separate themselves.
The Zhejia who were most eager to establish a feudal clan had already been driven to Mizhou Prefecture, and the rest had no intention of separatist rule in the first place.
Luoyang and Chang'an were originally the capitals of the Tang Dynasty, not far from each other.
Not long after the journey, we arrived at the boundary of Jingzhao Prefecture. It was late at night when we entered Chang'an County.
Officials of Jingzhao Mansion, Zhong Zhi and others were waiting here, and the city gate was brightly lit.
Yang Lin had his own small courtyard here, and he also saved the land to find a temporary residence for him. After greeting a few officials, he went to the small courtyard.
When the door of the room was opened, there was no dampness as it had been unoccupied for a long time. Yang Lin asked someone to bring hot water, and after bathing comfortably with the two newlyweds, he lay on the bed and didn't want to move.
Jingzhao Prefecture belongs to Qinlong. Qinlong Province has always been a very special province. Because of the century-old confrontation with Xixia, the people here have always been sparsely populated and young and strong, and almost all of them have become soldiers.
The Great Wall Corps who followed Han Shizhong, and because of their outstanding military exploits in Youyan, received many rewards, many relatives moved their families to Youyan, and Qinlong became increasingly empty.
In recent years, as the war has subsided and the trade routes have opened up, countless foreigners have poured in. Many of them have bought land and settled down in Qinlong.
Nowadays, the population flow in this place is very large, which has naturally spawned countless inns and restaurants, which are open late at night.
With his head resting on his hands, Yang Lin looked at the full moon outside the window and suddenly sighed.
Xiao Lingyun came up and asked: "It's so good, why are you sighing?"
"When I was studying in the past, I saw Liu Bei seeing his barnyard flesh resurrected, and lamenting how time flies. I never thought that I would have this idea now."
Huang Xuanzhi drew circles on his chest from the other side and asked puzzledly: "You are only in your twenties. Why are you lamenting this? Isn't this just a moaning thing?"
The two little girls started giggling, laughing, and started to fight again across Yang Lin.
Yang Lin gave him a slap in the face, sat up and said: "In the past, I had my first taste of women. It was Yun Niang in my house, who was more than ten years older than me. Later, it was Qian Qian and Ning'er, who were about the same age as me.
, now the two little things on the pillow combined are as big as me. Time flies by, which makes people feel sad... In the past, Emperor Zhaolie lamented about the barnyard meat, but now I, Chiyangzi, embrace the beauty.
And the sadness is really that heroes cherish heroes and feel the same."
The two little girls blushed at the same time, pounded their fists wildly on him, and began to pound on him.
When Chi Yangzi was lamenting the passing of time in Chang'an, outside Ani City in the night, a fire shot into the sky.
The Liao people went south brazenly and formed an alliance with the Seljuq Empire in the distance to take Khwarezm together.
Khwarezm's current strength is no longer weaker than that of the Seljuq Empire to which it is attached, even though the other party was once very prosperous.
Seventy years ago, the Seljuk army entered Baghdad. Caliph Qaim thanked these people for lifting the control of the Shia Bouveshi dynasty for him, and named the Seljuk king Sultan, titled "King of the East and the West"
”.
Immediately afterwards, they defeated the Byzantine army at Manzikert and captured the Byzantine Emperor Romanus IV, so that most of Asia Minor belonging to Byzantium fell into their hands.
However, in the past twenty years, the Seljuqs have continued to weaken. After the death of King Maliksha, the empire fell apart due to disputes. Therefore, the Liao people formed an alliance with them to jointly get rid of the ambitious Khwarezm. The Seljuks were extremely happy.
.
They may have never heard of a story called Lips Die and Teeth Cold...
Yelu Dashi personally sat in command and commanded the army to attack the city. The soldiers and horses on the city looked at the huge machines below and were at a loss, not knowing what they were for.
The siege equipment built by Liao craftsmen can be said to be second only to that of the Song Dynasty.
When he fled to the west, Yelu Dashi even killed his son, but insisted on taking the craftsmen in Yunnei City with him. The Liao people had ruled Youyan and Yunnei for a long time, and these Han families had been in power for more than a hundred years. During this period, there were countless Han people,
It is their people who brought them advanced technology.
A series of catapults can hit boulders weighing dozens of kilograms onto the distant city wall or inside the city. Wherever they hit, there will be continuous wailing and blood and flesh flying everywhere.
Khwarezm had just established diplomatic relations with the Liao people, and they still nominally belonged to the Seljuq Empire, so they never dreamed that they would be attacked by two forces at the same time overnight.
There were not many soldiers and horses in Ani City, and they were gradually unable to hold on. The most important thing Yelu Dashi learned from the Jin and Song people during the battles between Song, Jin and Liao in Yunnei was the importance of intelligence.
In the process of several exchanges of communications, he had initially figured out the military strength in each major city in Khwarezm, and the people of Khwarezm did not hide it at all.
In some places, just by asking passers-by on the road, you can clearly know how many soldiers and horses there are in the city.
There were fewer and fewer soldiers able to go up to the city to guard the city, and the Liao people's charge had not really begun yet.
Finally, unable to hold on any longer, Lord Ani opened the city gate and chose to surrender.
Yelu Dashi smiled and led his troops into the city late at night. In the city, he personally lifted up the city lord Ani who was lying on his knees and rewarded him greatly.
The Khitan's sun and moon flag is planted at the top of the city. This land has ushered in a new overlord...
