Hongjian Yupan

Chapter 53

An inch of lovesickness (1)

It is said that Liu Xiu saw the man enter the room, so she smiled and said: "The third brother came just in time, I have a little brother here, let's get acquainted." Geng Yan laughed: "Very good, very good. "

Liu Xiu said to Hongjian: "This is my sworn brother Geng Yan, his father is Geng Kuang, the prefect of Shanggu, and now he is the disciple of Wei Detao, the first-rank elder of the Imperial Guard." Then continued: "My third younger brother is a libertine, but he has always been righteous, you will know in the future."

Geng Yan laughed loudly and said: "Brother, your brother is ashamed of what he said, I don't think I'm a loser." There was no expression of concern when he spoke, but a slight expression of color.Besides, Geng Yan was always proud of his family background, it was not because he thought his father was born into an official, but because the Shanggu cavalry was famous all over the world, and his father was the prefect of Shanggu, so he could master this fine cavalry, rule the Huns in the north, and defend Handan, With this controlling the situation in Yanzhao, Liu Xiu mentioned his family background at this moment, so he was secretly happy.

After Cheng Hongjian heard Liu Xiu's words, he immediately clasped his fists in salute, Geng Yan then nodded his head in agreement, and Liu Xiu said to Geng Yan, "This brother is Cheng Hongjian, the third younger brother should not look at Brother Cheng's age, he is very affectionate. Yes." After finishing speaking, she relayed Yao Zhenzhen's account of how Cheng Hongjian fought against Qi and Mei.

Geng Yan saw that Liu Xiu seemed to be looking after Hongjian quite a bit, so he sized the child up a bit and thought to himself, "Although this child's clothes are plain, the jade pendant on his waist must be made of jadeite. It is also worth a thousand gold, it seems that he should also be born in a wealthy family, but he doesn't like extravagance." He didn't know that Qin Haoxuan had discussed with Cheng Zhuo, in order to hone Cheng Hongjian's mind, he wanted to keep his clothes as simple as possible.Needless to say, Cheng Zhuo obeyed Qin Haoxuan's words, although Cheng Hongjian was used to a life of rich clothes and fine food, he obediently agreed and did not play the slightest bit of temper, but the emerald jade pendant with dragon patterns had an extraordinary meaning, Hongjian just now Wear it on your body.

At this moment, Geng Yan heard Liu Xiu's words, he immediately laughed, and turned to Cheng Hongjian and said, "Little brother is young, but he is not afraid of danger, which is very rare. But everything should be done according to one's ability, I have heard of the name of the four ghosts of the Netherworld, they are very cruel. After all, you are very young, and you will easily lose your life if you fight with the ghosts and ghosts like this. In fact, the members of the Tianzhi Gang are not close to you No reason, why risk my life." Cheng Hongjian was taken aback when he heard that, and then said: "This kind of thing can't be ignored, and thanks to the master teaching some stick techniques, I was able to hold on until Big Brother Liu rushed over."

Hearing this, Geng Yan thought to himself: "According to the rules, the head of this school can only teach martial arts to the disciples who enter the house, and he was taught by the head when he just joined the school. It seems that he has some skills." Thinking of this, he nodded his head He said: "Brother Cheng is really righteous. If you have free time in the future, you can come to my room for a while. If you need anything, just find me and brother." Cheng Hongjian was grateful for the kindness of the other party, and said immediately: "Thank you, brother .”

Liu Xiusu knew that Geng Yan likes to drink good wine, so he immediately took out a jar of fine wine, and said softly: "Yesterday, the master rewarded us with five jars of fine wine in the Si Li Yuan. I specially reserved a jar of fine wine. When you go back, take it away." Geng Geng Yan Xi said: "very good, very good, first let me taste what good wine it is."

Liu Xiu smiled, and then poured out two cups. Geng Yan picked up one and sipped it, and immediately discerned the taste, and praised: "This wine is called Autumn Dew White. It is made by collecting dew when the autumn dew is thick. Yes, it's really pure in color and taste. The autumn dew needed for this wine is not easy to collect, so not much can be brewed every year. If the head master can reward this wine, it seems that it is a waste of money." Cheng Hongjian looked at him only After tasting it, he tasted the famous wine, and felt admiration at that moment, Liu Xiu nodded and said: "This wine is exactly Qiulubai, the third brother really deserves to be an expert in it."

Geng Yan smiled slightly, then turned to Hongjian and said, "Brother Cheng, it's better to be lucky if you catch up early. It would be a pity if you didn't try it." Not very good to drink, but also swallowed it.Geng Yan asked, "How does it taste?" Cheng Hongjian coughed lightly, and said, "Spicy..." Geng Yan laughed, and Liu Xiuxiang asked Hongjian, "Since Brother Cheng knows Master Yi, can you tell me about him? What has happened to the old man in recent years?" Cheng Hongjian said: "The old man was murdered and passed away long ago..." His expression was gloomy, and his words became stagnant afterward.

Hearing this, Liu Xiuwen's heart tightened, and he immediately asked, "How could this be? Brother Cheng, tell me carefully!" Although he has always been calm and introverted, it is inevitable that he will feel uneasy when he hears the sad news of his teacher. .

Cheng Hongjian told the truth about the situation that day, Geng Yan snorted softly, and said, "Why did Wang Mang's personal eunuch assassinate famous people in the dynasty? In my opinion, it is probably assigned by the false emperor." Put the cup on the table, and continued: "In the past few years, some ministers in the court have died unexpectedly. There are rumors in the world that those ministers were assassinated by Wang Mang because they were loyal to the Han Dynasty. How can such villains deserve to sit in the world?" .”

Liu Xiu let out a long sigh, and said: "The ruler of the world should be home to those who are virtuous. If the emperor is not virtuous, there will be a mess in the court, treacherous evil will rule, and the people will suffer in the end."

Cheng Hongjian heard that Liu Xiu mentioned the people, and he recalled leisurely: "On the way to Xuanyuan School, I saw countless people who could not eat. I also heard that Uncle Duan mentioned that there was a farm family that was very poor and had to Selling my own children, I really didn't know that there are so many suffering people among the people, they are so pitiful, I really don't know how to help them." Liu Xiudao: "If Wang Mang can make the people live and work in peace and contentment, the emperor simply let the people live and work in peace and contentment. He has done it, but although he is good at strategy, he really has no virtue, and he is really not worthy to be the master of the world."

Geng Yan interjected: "Eldest brother is the ninth grandson of Emperor Gaozu after all. After Changsha became king, how could he say such words? No matter what, this country should be named Liu not king!" Cheng Hongjian didn't know Liu Xiu's family background before. When I heard Geng Yan's words, I couldn't help being confused, but I saw Liu Xiu said: "Thinking that in the past, Emperor Gaozu, in the body of a commoner, raised righteous soldiers to attack the violent Qin Dynasty and punish Xiang Yu. At that time, the world belonged to the Ying clan, and Emperor Gaozu It is only by virtue of righteousness that we have established a foundation that has lasted for more than [-] years, because those who have no virtue must perish, even the Liu family members, as long as they have no virtue, they are not worthy of ruling the world." Geng Yan said haha, Said: "This is quite a high-level statement, otherwise Chen Sheng would not have mentioned that 'the princes and generals are better than each other'. Now that Wang Mang has no way, people with lofty ideals in the world should fight against each other."

Thinking about the events of the previous dynasty, Liu Xiu couldn't help but sighed softly, and then said: "If Emperor Yuan and Emperor Cheng hadn't behaved properly, there would be no disaster for Wang Mang to usurp the Han. Back then, Emperor Xiaoyuan's nepotism made the royal family's relatives dominate the power, and virtuous ministers were useless The land of martial arts; but Emperor Xiaocheng was obsessed with sensuality, ignored state affairs, and left no heirs, so that Wang Mang had an opportunity to take advantage of it and directly taught the people of Li to suffer."

Hearing this, Cheng Hongjian immediately admired Liu Xiu's concern for the people of the world, and then blurted out: "Brother Liu is concerned about the country and the people. If a person like you is allowed to be the emperor, the common people will surely have a good life."

When Geng Yan heard these children's words, he laughed aloud, and then said: "Brother Cheng's words are reasonable, and elder brother is quite kind. If you become emperor, the people of the world may have a better life." Liu Xiu said: " Who is worthy to be the emperor is still out of the question, but a real man was born between the heavens and the earth, so he should make friends with heroes, save the people from the fire and water, and fulfill his life's ambitions, so that he will not be in vain in this world." His tone seemed peaceful. , but faintly revealing a heroic spirit, Cheng Hongjian was unknowingly inspired, and then blurted out: "Brother Liu said well, in the future when I grow up, I will assist Mingjun and save the people of the world!"

Liu Xiu, as the first-rank elder's disciple, assigned him a solitary house in the faction. Although there were few furnishings in the house, the people in the house talked about the world, and it didn't look shabby at all.When Cheng Hongjian got up to say goodbye, Liu Xiu handed the bottle of "Pain Repelling Liangxue Powder" to the other party, and then said, "Brother Cheng has the right to take this bottle of medicine, and I will apply some more when I go back."

Cheng Hongjian was grateful for the kindness of the other party, and immediately took out an exquisite porcelain bottle, and said, "There are some golden-winged Dapeng health pills in this bottle. I think it is very effective, and I will give it to the two elder brothers today." After a long time in the rivers and lakes, he had heard about this kind of magic medicine for healing. Seeing his sincerity, Liu Xiu said softly: "I heard that this medicine is hard to find, so I and my third brother will each take a pill from you. Stay here for emergencies." Geng Yan took a pill, then took off the sword, and then said with a smile: "You brother Geng didn't bring any good things, but my sword is inlaid with two gems. Just give it to Brother Cheng to enjoy, and I will teach you some sword skills later." After saying that, he handed the saber into Hongjian's hand.

Cheng Hongjian took the precious sword, but seeing the exquisite patterns engraved on the scabbard, he really liked it, he cupped his fists in thanks, and left immediately.At about noon, Xiao Hongjian went straight to the house where Yi Qiaoqian lived, but seeing that she was not in the house, he asked the female disciple who lived with her about Qiaoqian's whereabouts, and only then did he learn that Qiaoqian mentioned that He went out to practice martial arts, but the female disciple didn't know where he went.
