retaliate

Chapter 762

The autumn is crisp and the harvest is imminent. Farmers sharpen their sickles at home and recharge their batteries.Merchants are preparing their goods for a post-harvest spending spree.

There is also a group of people who steal half a day's leisure and go out for an outing outside the city.

In the flying red leaves, toast and drink.How happy it is for you to compose poems and come to me to sing!
Life is boring, you have to learn to have fun!

The carriage moved slowly.

The car curtain was lifted and hung on the hook.

Princess Ningcheng looked at the fertile field outside.

Amid the golden waves of wheat, the farmer walked slowly on the ridge with his hands behind his back, looking left and right, as if the waves of wheat were his army.

Ning Cheng couldn't help laughing when he saw the happy faces of those farmers.

"Everyone says that the northern border is bitterly cold and not suitable for human habitation, but look at those farmers... as long as there are people from the Tang Dynasty, it is livable!"

The maid said: "The princess is wise."

Princess Ning Cheng was stunned, "This is what my elder brother said back then."

When Emperor Filial Piety was around, he was extremely kind and generous to his younger siblings. Thinking about it until now, Ning Cheng can't help but miss him.

"Brother said that the people of the Tang Dynasty are hardworking, even in the desert, they can find a way to survive. Gradually multiply and prosper, that place will become a prosperous place. This is the ability of my Central Plains people, unrivaled in the world!"

The maid said, "It's a pity, Your Majesty."

Ning Cheng sighed, "That's not true. If Eldest Brother is still here, how could this Great Tang end up here!"

According to seniority, she is Li Mi's aunt.If she hadn't been unwilling to escape into Fang, she would be the serious eldest princess at this moment.

Several dogs rushed over and growled at them.

Ning Cheng smiled, "This dog also likes to be lively."

An old farmer came after him, drove the dogs away, and then saluted, "I have offended you."

Ning Cheng nodded, "No problem! By the way, how is the northern border recently?"

The old farmer didn't dare to look at her, "Recently...it's okay! He Lianfeng was defeated and fled, and Deputy Envoy Yang in Tao County said, just focus on farming."

"How are you doing?"

The public opinion circle in Chang'an is not very friendly to northern Xinjiang. They always say that there are poor mountains and bad waters, and the people are arrogant and cunning.

"Fortunately, these two years! Much better than before."

The old farmer was very sincere, and Ning Cheng's impression of Beijiang was immediately reversed, "Were the previous years very bad?"

"Hey! A few years ago! The Northern Liao Dynasty was rampant, and we didn't dare to go out of the city to farm. We were full and hungry."

"Isn't Chang'an allocating money and food every year?"

"The nobleman doesn't know that most of the food is bad, and eating it can easily spoil the stomach, and some of them will cause problems.

But if I didn’t eat, I was too hungry, so I gave my wife and children food from home, and we ate those poisonous food.

Hey!Poison food!
We just can't figure it out, this Chang'an has poisoned us to death, but it is good! "

Ning Cheng was startled, "It's so? Did you tell Chang'an?"

The old farmer couldn't help but sneered and said: "Chang'an? Chang'an doesn't care about our life or death. Your Majesty sleeps with his daughter-in-law in Liyuan all day, it's so beautiful!"

He felt it was wrong, so he quickly apologized, "The villain is lying."

Ning Cheng shook his head, "No problem. Let's go!"

The carriage drove away slowly, and the old farmer followed him with his eyes. He didn't go back until he could no longer see it.

Several farmers looked at him and smiled, and someone said: "You old man, why are you pretending to be a farmer? You are trying to fool the nobleman!"

The old farmer coughed dryly, "Great man? All nobles eat meat, human flesh!"

He found his horse and galloped around.

On the way, I met Bao Dong and his party.

Bao Dong received the news of Princess Ningcheng's arrival and went out of the city to inquire.

The old farmer is his subordinate, "I met the master. The villain met Princess Ningcheng earlier."

Bao Dong now has a group of people who are dedicated to publicity, and even have a post of director.

The old farmer is his subordinate, and today he is patrolling outside the city, spreading the concern of the deputy envoy to the farmers everywhere.She didn't expect to meet Princess Ningcheng, so she took the initiative to fool her.

He told Princess Ningcheng's words and deeds, Bao Dong touched his chin, and the old farmer felt uneasy, worried that he might make a mistake.

"The next time something like this happens, you should say that Beijiang is extremely grateful to Chang'an."

The old farmer was puzzled, "But everyone in the world knows that Beijiang is dissatisfied with Chang'an!"

Bao Dong sighed, "A lot of times, complaining is worse than forbearance. The more you forbear, the more outsiders will feel that you are wronged and take the overall situation into consideration.

They will think, what made us endure the wronged, think about it... what did you think of? "

The old farmer blurted out, "Your Majesty!"

"That's right!" Bao Dong said: "Many times, you don't need to say who you want to complain about. The best way is to let others figure it out on their own. All you have to do is induce, understand?"

The old farmer was convinced and saluted, "If the master goes to Chang'an, I'm afraid he can also be a prime minister."

Bao Dong said, "Chang'an, yes, it's not rare!"

He turned back, "Immediately report to the Deputy Envoy that Princess Ningcheng is here."

The emperor's aunt is here!
Anyway, let's go out to welcome you.

Yang Xuan was also taken aback when he received the news, "Let Helianyan come."

Helianyan came in a hurry.

Out of breath, he patted fiercely.

This bitch is so charming and seductive!

Yang Xuan looked away from the trembling height, "In the news from Chang'an, is there Princess Ningcheng?"

Seeing that the boss was not staring at her height, He Lianyan felt a little disappointed, "Yes. Princess Ningcheng had a relationship with Deputy Envoy Liao..."

Following He Lianyan's narration, Yang Xuan sighed: "Old Liao is so good-faced that he wasted half his life."

But why is she here?Yang Xuan was startled, He Lianyan said: "Princess Ningcheng became a monk in Chang'an, this time I came to Northern Xinjiang, I'm afraid it's because of Liao Jin."

"This is getting old, and you want to beat the heartless man?" Yang Xuan couldn't sit still, "Let's go out of the city and have a look."

……

In the early morning, the woods were empty.

The red leaves are scattered on the ground, and when the wind blows, they are flying around.Some red leaves floated into the nearby stream, and followed the stream to the east slowly.Some red leaves fell on the ground and rolled on the ground with the wind.

Liao Jin was carried out of the carriage, someone got a chair, Liao Jin sat down, and several attendants lifted the special chair and walked all the way to the woods.

"Stop."

Liao Jin put himself under a big tree.

He stretched out his hand to pat the tree trunk, looked up at the crown of the tree, and said, "Ambition and ambition are all in vain."

He had also smugly dreamed of the scene where he ruled the northern border, but an assassination made it all come to nothing.

The withering of ambition made him melancholy.

Now that Yang Xuan is in charge of Northern Border, his position is getting more and more embarrassing.

If it was said that he stayed in northern Xinjiang at the beginning, it was a slot, but after Yang Xuan killed the experts brought by Tian Xiao, and officially fell out with Chang'an, the slot became redundant.

When people are old and have nothing to do, they will miss it.

He patted the tree trunk, thinking of that year.

At that time, he was young, and when he first entered the army, he was very energetic and wanted to make a big career.His comrades in the army were unruly, making fun of his ambitions, and some even ridiculed him.

He used a horse spear to fight all over the army, claiming to be invincible.Immediately attracted the attention of Shangguan, promoted all the way.

Chang'an at that time!
Liao Jin shook his head slightly, thinking of that time with a smile.

Energetic, he went out for a walk when he was on vacation. Qujiang Pond, various workshops, and even villages outside the city have left his footprints.

Once, when he was traveling, he had a conflict with someone in Qujiang Pond, and someone came out to persuade him.At that time, Liao Jin was shy and refused to forgive others. The young man who persuaded him mocked him, saying that he had no guts.

After the two quarreled, Liao Jin said that he can hold his stomach, Yeye is full of alcohol, dare to try it?
Just try it.

The two found a place to compete for wine, bickering while drinking, and gradually, they became somewhat speculative, so they made an appointment to meet again next time.

Just like this meeting once or twice, until that autumn, the two came to the woods outside the city, the man's hat was hung down by a tree branch, Liao Jin picked it up and gave it to him, and put it on for him.

He accidentally saw holes in his good brother's earlobe!

Bow your head again, my good brother's chest muscles are more developed than my own...

My title is Ning Cheng.

The good brother revealed his identity, Liao Jin awkwardly pretended to be disdainful.

Ning Cheng talked about how he sneaked out of the palace, and how stupid he was, yet he never found out.

He retorted, and the two continued to bicker...

Friendship is accumulated little by little.

If you want to be a princess, there are two ways, one is to be rich and idle, so you can live freely.The second is that the emperor wants to use the princess to win someone over. In this way, the son-in-law must be either talented or outstanding in military exploits.

Ning Cheng said that she had a solution, but Liao Jin was at a high-spirited age, and said that he would use his military achievements to marry her.

——I will appear before your eyes with scars and military achievements all over my body.

This is the man's promise.

Ning Cheng chose to support it, and the two negotiated for a five-year term.

Liao Jin didn't see the sadness deep in his sweetheart's eyes, and left happily.

This time, Guanshan Wanli.

This is the fleeting time.

In the past five years, he returned to Chang'an, but he did not perform any meritorious service at that time, and he was ashamed to see his sweetheart.

Returning to Northern Xinjiang again, he fought bravely and was not afraid of death, and won the reputation of a fierce general in Northern Xinjiang.

He often walks by the river without getting his shoes wet. Beiliao set up a trap for him and besieged him heavily.Liao Jin led his subordinates to charge repeatedly, and finally broke through the encirclement, but he was also seriously injured.

When the five-year period came, he wished he could spread his wings and fly to Chang'an, but he could only lie on the bed.

He wrote several letters, but had no place to deliver them.

Is it still possible to let the messenger send the letter to the palace?

The princess hooked up with a foreigner in private, do you want to lose her reputation?
After finally recovering from his injuries, Liao Jin couldn't wait to rush to Chang'an, but when he arrived in Chang'an, he received a bad news.

——The princess became a monk, saying that she will never marry in this life!

Liao Jin patted the tree trunk, "It would have been nice if the old man had the cheek to venture into the Taoist temple!"

But he, who is proud and arrogant, chose to return to northern Xinjiang.

After his return, he married a wife and had children.

But he was not happy.

There was always something in my heart.

If he could go back to the past, he would choose to break into the Royal Taoist Temple!

"Chang Ning!"

Liao Jin looked at the tree trunk, and in a daze, the girl stood in front of him, smiling sweetly, "I am titled Chang Ning, and Ye Niang likes me. You are not allowed to bully me in the future!"

He said slowly: "Okay!"

But, the old man failed you!
Squeak!

A carriage stopped.

"Princess, this forest is so beautiful!"

"Hmm! Let me see."

"Princess be careful!"

"Who?" Liao Jin's entourage guards intercepted the person.

Immediately, spread out.

"What are you looking at?"

Liao Jin didn't look back, his body was trembling, "Look at that year."

"That year, you said that you would marry me with scars and military achievements, but you didn't come."

Liao Jin's eyes were blurred, "Yes. The old man was seriously injured at the time, and when he was able to ride a horse, he rushed to Chang'an with his injuries. When he arrived in Chang'an, the old man learned that you were a monk and became a female crown, so he returned to northern Xinjiang in a fit of anger..."

"That year, there was a big change in the palace, Ye Niang was poisoned and fell down, she said that it was the elder brother who poisoned her, and then the elder brother was poisoned to death.

I was panicked and comforted by both sides.

After the elder brother left, Ye Niang gradually got better...but her temperament gradually changed, becoming more and more ruthless.

They gave me a fancy to be a son-in-law, but I refused, so I was grounded...

Later, when I learned that the palace was preparing for my marriage, I cut off all my hair with scissors, forced me to die, and became a monk as a female crown..."

Liao Jin's body was trembling, "Old man... old man..."

"I've been waiting for you!"

"Old man..."

Liao Jin turned his head sharply, and his body fell from the chair to the ground.He tried to raise his head and looked at the gray-haired woman.

Vaguely, you can see what it looked like back then.

He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he was ashamed, "It's the old man who betrayed you!"

Chang Ning walked slowly, "You have arrogance, so do I. Two proud people are destined to have a lot of quarrels when they walk together.

So if you don't come, I won't go either.

Over the years, I have heard a lot of news about you intermittently, marriage, meritorious deeds, Northern Xinjiang titan, Northern Xinjiang deputy envoy...

You have made meritorious service, but it has nothing to do with me. "

Liao Jin burst into tears, "Old man... I'm sorry!"

Yang Xuan arrived with people, seeing this scene, he and Bao Dong looked at each other in blank dismay.

He Lianyan said: "Mr. Lang, why does Liao Zhongcheng look like a heartless man?"

Yang Xuan waved his hand, leading others to avoid him.

Chang Ning walked up to Liao Jin, "I have been unwilling all these years, not to say that I don't want to give up on you, but, I have been thinking, was it worthwhile for me to be so determined to fall out with Ye Niang back then?
I often say that it is not worth it for such a courageous man.

But when I took the scriptures, I felt unwilling.

Later I realized that it was obsession.If I don't get rid of this obsession, I feel uneasy.

So here I am. "

Liao Jin lowered his head, "You kill the old man!"

"I won't kill you!" Chang Ning said, "I want you to shout loudly, I'm not as good as a pig or a dog!"

Liao Jin raised his head without hesitation, "This old man is not as good as a pig or a dog!"

Chang Ning looked at him, "I heard that you are paralyzed."

Liao Jin nodded on the ground, "I can't move below the waist."

Chang Ning looked at him, "You owe me!"

Liao Jin nodded, "Yes."

It was he who turned that delicate girl into a Taoist nun, and half his life wasted.

"Then, follow me!"

"it is good!"

Chang Ning turned and walked towards the carriage.

Liao Jin propped his hands on the ground, not to mention mobilizing his inner breath, just supporting and keeping up.

Chang Ning walked faster and faster, and suddenly stopped, and the maid followed.

"Princess."

"Hold him. Go, hold him!"

"Yes."

The maid asked someone to help, but she accidentally found that Chang Ning burst into tears.

Liao Jin got into the carriage, Yang Xuan couldn't help but galloped out, "Zhong Cheng, where are you going?"

Liao Jin was sweating profusely, and waved his hands on the carriage, "The old man is gone and will never come back! Zitai, take care!"

Sitting next to her was Princess Changning. She glanced at Yang Xuan, and couldn't help but startled when she saw the eyes, "Those eyes..."

"Chang Ning!" Liao Jingang said.

"To shut up!"

"it is good."

"Chang Ning."

The carriage is gradually going away...

In the autumn of the tenth year of the Daqian Dynasty, Liao Jin, the governor of northern Xinjiang, followed Princess Changning to Chang'an. He passed away halfway, and said before leaving: "I will bear you in this life, and I will be a cow or a horse in the next life, and I will be driven by you."

Princess Changning buried him there, at a place called Wa'erpo.She asked people to build a Taoist temple in Wa'erpo and stay there to practice.After passing away many years later, the local people built a temple for her, and they often prayed for a successful marriage, and the incense was strong.
