Chapter 958 Storm Pavilion (two chapters in one)

"Worship heaven and earth!"

Just after the new year in Beidu, a great event ushered in.

Yeluqi's big wedding has been bustlingly organized, and Xiao Leshan has assigned Yeluqi the daughter of Prime Minister Asana.

She is three years younger than Yeluqi, but she is already Tingting Lili's big girl.

She is also as beautiful as a flower, which has attracted the applause of many princes and ministers.

The prime minister's daughter married Yeluqi, of course there can be no enviable love, only a marriage of politics and interests.

Anyone who is not a fool can understand the meaning behind such a marriage.

Yeluqi was originally the Crown Prince in everyone's minds, and now that he is getting married, it is also Xiao Leshan's way of attracting political capital and paving the way for his future ascension to the throne.

After all, the current emperor is already too old, so old that he has no fangs, no sharp claws, and only knows about minced meat in the wine pool every day, which is unbearable.

Even Yeluqi's big wedding did not come, but Yeluqi's biological mother came in person, and Xiao Leshan took the place of his father.

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

Yeluqi, who was dressed in a red robe, had a majestic appearance and a heroic spirit, which attracted applause from all the audience.

"Hey, in the blink of an eye, the fourth prince has grown up so much!"

Some old officials looked at the bridegroom, who was covered in red robes, and couldn't help sighing: "When the fourth prince was born, the old officials watched from the sidelines. In a flash, more than 20 years have passed. Time is not forgiving. How old you are, you must fight for the fourth prince for a few more years!"

"Hmph, the defeat of Langshan was due to Xiao Chi's lack of strategy and stupidity. If I were an old man, I would definitely take the head of Mrs. Wu Jie as a wedding gift for the Fourth Prince!"

When everyone mentioned Langshan's defeat, their expressions all turned ugly.

In their view, the defeat of Langshan was completely due to Xiao Chi's reckless plan. He knew that Wu Jie led people to attack Liangzhai, but he didn't lead people to outflank the support.

Even if you suspect fraud, if you don't go to support, the big deal is to retreat. Anyway, it's almost winter, so it is reasonable to retreat.

Now Xiao Chi is defeated, with countless casualties, and the vitality of the northern barbarians is greatly injured, all thanks to Xiao Chi.

Xiao Chi's wife, son and daughter have been expelled from the Xiao family, deprived of Xiao's surname, and changed to untouchables.

This result deserved it in the eyes of everyone.

Facing the complaints of several ministers, the few Hanchens on the small table beside them shook their heads silently.

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that these old guys were an afterthought. If they really let them command the army, Wu Jie would be happy to set off firecrackers at home to celebrate.

In fact, Xiao Chi's strategy cannot be said to be wrong, it can even be said to be an extremely correct and fatal blow.

Concentrating all the troops and directly smashing through the heavenly camp, although it seems that there is no skill, it is the kingly way to win.

The reason for the defeat can only be said that Xiao Chi entrusted him to someone else. It is said that Wanyan Hushui, who was in charge of the charge, led the troops to retreat several times, but after fighting for a long time, he failed to tear open the hole in the heavenly camp.

This is like asking Pao Ding to kill a cow. No matter how good his skills are, if you give him a blunt knife, he can't do anything about it.

Afterwards, these civil servants who once declared the country did a deduction. If Xiao Chi had personally gone to the front to supervise the army, the result might have been completely different.

But this kind of thing, no matter how you say it, is suspected of being an afterthought. Who would complain about a dead person? Everyone can't wait to step on it, so as to avoid damage to the fourth prince's reputation.

"Don't talk about these disappointing things, isn't it just a defeat, and you are afraid that God will fail? The big deal is to issue a big edict, and all the men in the whole country can gather another [-] troops at any time!"

"Yes, yes, the fourth prince is getting married, let's not say such disappointing things."

Seeing that these old ministers were getting more and more wrong, someone hurriedly changed the topic, and a veteran smoothing things out stared at Yeluqi and said in a low voice; "Look, the fourth prince's demeanor is more and more like the king of the Southern Courtyard. gone."

Everyone looked at it, let alone, it was true.

As the old saying goes, a nephew is like an uncle, and the fourth prince's demeanor and posture are somewhat similar to Xiao Leshan.

"Toast tea!"

At this time, the two newcomers took the teacups and walked in front of Empress Xiao and Xiao Leshan.

"Uncle, please drink tea."

Taking the teacup from the bride's hand, Xiao Leshan nodded with a smile, and took out a jade bracelet to give to the bride.

Not far away, Di Qiu and other people from the rivers and lakes looked at each other from a distance, and they all looked at each other face to face.

That jade bracelet is not jadeite, there is a ray of silver light in the light pink color, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that it is a rare treasure in the world, Fendaiyu.

It is said that wearing this kind of jade on the body can make women stay young forever and not grow old.

You can see that Empress Xiao is still as beautiful as a flower, because she has a jade pendant made of pink jade on her body, such a big jade bracelet is even more extraordinary.

"Uncle drinks tea!"

Yeluqi brought the tea to Xiao Leshan, Xiao Leshan took it and took a sip, and looked at Yeluqi in relief, "You have a family and a career, my uncle has nothing to give you, so I will give you a name."

After Xiao Leshan finished speaking, he looked outside the door.

At this time, the eunuch outside the door hurried into the door, knelt on both knees, and raised the imperial edict in his hand above his head.

Xiao Leshan stood up, took the imperial decree in his hand, and unfolded the imperial decree, all the people stood up and knelt to accept it.

"Sacred decree, the fourth prince, Yeluqi, is loyal to the country, his filial piety is touching, and his moral character is a model for the world. Today, he has come of age in his wedding, and he is registered as the crown prince of the East Palace, the heir of the country, responsible for supervising state affairs and supervising all officials!"

As soon as the imperial decree came out, everyone was ecstatic.

This decree means that from today onwards, Yeluqi will officially be the prince of the Northern Man and supervise the state affairs. This is the delegation of power by the old emperor. With the support of Yeluqi, there is only one name difference between Yeluqi and the emperor.

Xiao Leshan sent the imperial decree to Yeluqi, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Although the government is busy, you must not neglect the matters of practice. In a few days, you can go to the Yuanqi Temple and worship the gods on behalf of the heavens. "

For a moment Yeluqi blushed with excitement. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Thank you immediately.

Seeing that Yeluqi had accepted the order to thank him, all the old officials rushed to congratulate Yeluqi, and changed their address to the prince.

Now Yeluqi was really happy.

Hurry up and ask everyone to stand up and say some polite words.

Little did he know that at this moment, Eunuch Chang, who was standing beside him with a wedding wine, was already beaming with joy.

When Yeluqi enters the East Palace, does he have to change his identity? The most important thing is, the treasures hidden in the palace from now on: "Hey, this time it's really a bloody profit."

"what!"

At this moment, far away from another city in Ye, the teams of Shenwuying had already lined up in two rows, waiting for the convoy of Xu Fan's convoy.

Xu Tong sat in the gazebo with Cao Jun in that Huntian cloak, and had a good-bye drink and farewell.

At this moment, Xu Tong raised his brows slightly and thought, "This guy is really lucky."

Chang Wuzhi had already passed on the news of Yeluqi's wedding, and Xu Tong couldn't help but lament that it was really enviable to have a good uncle who was awesome and cared about him.

Seeing that his expression was different, Cao Jun asked, "Is Marquis Wu feeling unwell?"

"No, it's just that I have been taken care of by Brother Cao recently. It is inevitable that I will be a little bit reluctant to leave today. I will only have a drink with Brother Cao when I return from my mission."

Xu Tong didn't say these disappointing things, but bowed his hands to Cao Jun to thank him. In the past few days in Yecheng, Cao Jun treated him sincerely, which made Xu Tong feel good about him.

It's different from Xu Fan's obvious utilitarian overtures.

Cao Jun treats Xu Tong, no... it should be said that he treats Yang Hong, almost like a star-chasing fan.

Therefore, Cao Jun's hospitality to Xu Tong was sincere and he only wanted to make you feel good, and he simply hoped to live comfortably.

In fact, it is no wonder that Yecheng is very close to Langshan, only separated by a river. He knows the battle report of Langshan best.

Originally, even he was not optimistic about the battle of Langshan, but he did not expect to win the battle of Langshan in the end. Many details were unknown to others, but Cao Jun was aware of them. That's why he admired Xu Tong so much.

"Brother Yang, you are too polite. I only hate that I have no strength to restrain a chicken. Otherwise, I will definitely go with my brother to see the scenery of the northern country and kill the majesty of the northern man."

As Cao Jun spoke, he raised his wine glass to respect Xu Tong.

At this moment, a line of chariots and horses in the distance gradually appeared in the field of vision.

The envoy's flag was flying in front of the convoy, and the Xu family's carriage was sitting in the back, so it couldn't be anyone else.

Seeing that the team of envoys had arrived, Xu Tong got up to bid farewell to Cao Jun.

At the time of parting, Xu Tong had nothing to give back to Cao Jun, but he left behind three Zixiao Thunder Talismans as a repayment.

Then Xu Tong got on his horse and waited for the convoy to pass by. He bowed his hand towards Cao Jun and rode away.

"Brother Yang, take care all the way!!"

Seeing the chariots and horses drifting away, Cao Jun raised his robe with one hand and ran forward to chase a few steps, but his shoes ran away, so he stopped, raised his hands high, and cupped his hands towards Xu Tong: "Take care of yourself!!"

Cao Jun looked at the bright red cloak behind Xu Tong waving in the wind, gradually going away, then turned and left reluctantly.

Life is like this, there will always be a few strangers who hit it off, meet very late, and leave in a hurry after they can't say a few words...

The convoy moved forward slowly, and it didn't take long to pass Langshan.

The Wolf Mountain camp had long since disappeared, leaving only some rotten wood covered by heavy snow. Looking around, the ground was covered with hoarfrost. Not far away, Xu Tong saw the wreckage of the vitality chariot standing in the snow.

Surrounded by densely packed footprints of wild beasts, those buried corpses, whether they were thrown out by wolves or bears, were gnawed until only bones remained.

It can be seen that during this period of time, the beasts in the mountains and forests have lived through a winter without starvation.

Xu Tong led people forward, took out the tribute, sprinkled three bottles of good wine, and splashed out the guide money that he had prepared earlier with the wind.

After a while, the mountains and plains are full of guide money.

"Hey, once the general is successful, the bones will be destroyed. I hope the world will be unified soon, and the soldiers will no longer have to fight."

Xu Fan got down from the carriage, looking at the wilderness in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Xu Tong nodded: "I hope there will be such a day, but the enemy will never be less, and if you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is something that has never changed since ancient times."

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Although this saying is straightforward, it is also the truth."

Xu Fan thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what he said was true.

Xu Tong glanced at him: "Of course, I bought it with my life, the blood-stained truth!"

"Been taught a lesson!"

Xu Fan cupped his hands and remembered this sentence in his heart.

After a short rest, the team continued on their way. The spring snow hadn't melted yet, and the group of people left a row of dark mud marks on the snow.

From Tiangan to Beiman Zhongdu, according to the normal speed, it will take at least half a month.

However, Xu Tong and the others moved quickly, traveling day and night, each soldier was traveling on two horses, and the speed was a bit faster than the normal team.

On the way, Xu Tong untied the cloak that Cao Jun gave him, and put it in the item book. It's so coquettish, it's useless at all.

But having said that, Cao Jun is a good person, and this cloak is even more extraordinary.

【Muntian Cloak】

It is rumored that it is made of the skin of Suan Ni, and the wearer can have the power of Suan Ni.

Passive Skill 1: Auspiciousness

Auspicious addition, luck increased by 20%
Passive Skill 2: Dragon Might

After wearing it, one's own luck will be blessed by a ray of dragon power, and luck is not affected by natural factors such as heaven, earth and time.

Active Skill 1: Cloudy Sky Cover
Consuming 3000 script points, the cloak can be unfolded, covering the surrounding sky with a radius of 30 kilometers. Everyone under the cloak will lose [-]% of their luck
Although this cloak does not have any amazing abilities, it is a rare treasure. Wearing it on the body is equivalent to adding a treasure to one's luck, and it can also improve one's luck. It is a very rare treasure .

Seeing that they had reached the border of the Northern Barbarians, everyone fell silent as they looked around.

desolate!

Looking around, it is full of broken walls and messy places.

Even after entering the city, the people in the city still looked disheveled and their eyes were dull.

Once upon a time, the location of this place was considered a fertile land even on the main roads of Beiman, Tiangan, and Xuankun.

Looking around now, it is no longer as beautiful and prosperous as before. Looking at it from the street, those beggars are curled up in the corner, covered with layers of clothes.

These clothes should have been ripped off from other beggars who froze to death, only in this way can they survive on their own.

Facing the arrival of Xu Tong and his party, these beggars showed hatred in their eyes instead.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly Xu Tong turned his head sideways, and a stone flew past his eyes. He squinted and saw the child who threw the stone, and turned around and ran away.

"presumptuous!"

Ge Zhuo's expression darkened, and he was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Xu Tong.

In the carriage, Xu Fan's voice came: "Brother Yang, get in the carriage, these people are no longer from your hometown."

Wolf Mountain was defeated, and the northern barbarians who fled back vented their anger on the residents of these frontier towns.

In their eyes, these lowly Han people are of the same type as the Tiangan people, and it is only natural to vent their anger on them.

Ever since, that day, the originally prosperous town turned into this.

That's why Xu Fan said that these people were no longer from Xu Tong's hometown. When they heard Yang Hong's name, they would not feel respect and would not thank Yang Hong for revenge.

They felt that Yang Hong, a bastard, had harmed their family and their relatives, and they wished to tear Yang Hong's body into tens of thousands of pieces to make them happy.

Xu Tong knew that what Xu Fan said made sense, but he didn't know if it was because Yang Hong, who he played in the memory, had too much hatred between the country and the family, and now he felt an indescribable sense of depression.

"stop!"

At this moment, a troop came galloping in the distance, Xu Tong frowned. This troop was not barbarian soldiers from the northern barbarians, but a guard army composed of Han Chinese.

The leading man held a big knife, glanced arrogantly at Xu Tong and the others, spit on the ground, and shouted perversely, "Who is Yang Hong!"

"Bold!"

Seeing that this person dared to call his own general by his name directly, all the three thousand cavalrymen behind him opened their eyes wide, and there was a loud huh, shaking the surrounding area for a moment.

Those old houses, which had only broken walls, collapsed in pieces in an instant.

Terrible murderous aura permeated the air, and the faces of the few people who were still looking fierce were suddenly turned pale by this roar, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"I am Yang Hong, who are you? Why do you block my way?"

Xu Tong squinted his eyelids, looked up and down at the man in front of him, and asked calmly.

"me……"

Being glared at by the master of three thousand tigers and wolves, not to mention that the man is just a mere Taoist, even an enlightened heavenly man, I am afraid that he will be frightened for a while.

After stammering and talking for a long time, I barely managed to get the whole sentence out.

"I am ordered, please go to the East Storm Pavilion, my husband is waiting for you here!"

"Your husband, what is your husband, you are worthy of my Lord Hou to see him, you bastards, get out of here quickly, don't think this is the land of the northern barbarians, I will wait for three thousand cavalry, and I will be able to do it in a few days." Break through all of you!"

Ge Zhuo held the knife in one hand, his eyes were like lightning.

Now he is no longer the soldier who only knew how to mess around in the past, but a truly experienced general who was killed from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood.

Coupled with Gu Xibai's training during the past few months, although Ge Zhuo is only in the realm of a great master now, the sharp murderous look in his eyes is comparable to a sharp knife, bow and arrow pointing directly at people's hearts.

After he scolded a lot, the leading man felt his heart beating wildly, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

But if you go back in such a dejected manner, I am afraid there will be no good fruit to eat, so I can only bite the bullet and say: "My husband is a great Confucianist in the dynasty, and Zhou Yasheng, the dean of Zhongdu Academy, was ordered by the king to live with Marquis Shenwu." The Fengbo Pavilion discussed."

"What about Zhou Yasheng, Wang Banxian, cats and dogs, get out, we are envoys, not here to do business with you."

Gao Zhuo at the side became a little impatient, and gloomyly glanced at several people, already planning to turn them into living corpses in his heart.

It's just that as soon as the words fell, Xu Tong's ears moved, and he heard a loud and deep sneer from a distance.

"Marquis Shenwu is so majestic, could it be that he became a prince of someone else's family and forgot the etiquette of his hometown and the way of being a guest."

Gao Zhuo was about to scold the street when he heard the words.

But Xu Tong stopped him. In fact, he didn't bother to talk to these people, but since the other party started to set up a dragon gate formation, if he didn't make a breakthrough, he would be even more sorry for the evil spirit in his heart at the moment.

Dang even said with a smile: "How dare Yang refuse to follow such hospitality."

After all, he signaled these people to lead the way, and led the team to turn around and head east.

"Be careful, this Zhou Yasheng is not a good guy!"

Xu Fan poked his head out in the carriage and whispered to Xu Tong.

Gu Xibai looked back at Xu Fan and asked, "Why is this old man so strong?"

Xu Fan scratched his head: "It's not a matter of being strong or not. This person is an ex-official of the Xuan Kingdom and later joined the Northern Man. Rao, the Northern Barbarians disdain the old officials of the Xuan State, but whether it is Xiao Leshan or the current Emperor of the Northern Man, Everyone is very polite to this person.

Because this person is a master in the literary world, a great Confucian of a generation, with amazing talent, and it is said that he has the appearance of a semi-saint, so he is called Zhou Yasheng! "

Although a Confucian sage does not practice Taoism and supernatural powers, it does not mean that his strength is poor.

On the contrary, among the six arts of a gentleman, archery, imperial defense, and archery on horseback are particularly emphasized, and Confucianism has more masters of swordsmanship.

Although he doesn't have access to divine channels, but he is blessed with talent, and his words are easy to follow. His strength is not comparable to that of land gods, but it is still no small matter.

Although Zhou Yasheng is a semi-saint, it can only be said that he is unlucky. It coincides with the time when Confucianism is declining.

Just waiting for Xu Tong to take the troops away, he saw a huge gazebo in the distance, and the inside and outside were full of students waiting for Xu Tong's arrival.

Seeing this, Xu Tong signaled Gao Zhuo and others to wait for him here, then dismounted and jumped onto the gazebo.

Those students just felt a flash in front of their eyes, and when they came back to their senses, Xu Tongren had already walked into the pavilion.

Immediately, his face sank, and he shouted: "Disrespectful!"

Shouting in unison, there was an invisible force pressing towards Xu Tong.

This is the talent of Confucianism, but also the etiquette of Confucianism.

Who knows that this force has not yet approached Xu Tong, Xu Tong's luck made a roar of a tiger, tearing this talent to pieces.

Xu Tong strode forward, looked around, and saw that the gazebo was already full of people. These people were former ministers and scholars of the Xuan Kingdom, but now they are all gathered here. Obviously, even if you think about it, you know it is not a good thing.

However, Xu Tong came here just to express his sullenness, and to see everyone staring at him covetously.

Xu Tong glanced coldly, and then sat directly in front of Zhou Yafu: "Mr., if you have something to say, just say it. I'm short on time, so I don't want to listen to you talking about reason here."

Zhou Yasheng was also extremely surprised by Xu Tong's attitude. He thought that this Marquis of Martial Arts was, in the final analysis, a scholar of their Confucian background, and the etiquette and rules would not be messed up, but he didn't expect it to be so barbaric.

Before Zhou Yasheng could open his mouth, an old official beside him took the lead to raise his voice: "You rebellious person, as you don't know, everything in the world is inseparable from the word truth. As a junior, you behaved so pervertedly, you..."

"Snapped!"

Before the man finished speaking, Xu Tong lightly raised his hand, and everyone felt a popping sound in their ears, and the veteran flew out of the gazebo like a kite with a broken string, and rolled all the way down the gazebo.

Everyone was stunned now, they didn't expect Xu Tong to dare to make a move.

Xu Tong curled his lips, seeing the horrified expressions on the faces of the crowd, he said unhurriedly: "The sky is big and the earth is big, and the reason is the most important. This is true, but there is a saying that when a scholar meets a soldier, it is reasonable to say I don’t know, to reason with a general leading troops is not reasonable in itself, it’s called great deception!”

After speaking, Xu Tong shook his neck, tilted his head lazily, looked around everyone, and said calmly, "Next."
