At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 419
In the early winter season, beside the Luoshui River and the official road, there is a ten-mile long pavilion, the westerly wind is strong, and the withered grass is scattered. It is a desolate and lonely scene.

In the long pavilion at this moment, there are several dishes of side dishes and a pot of dirty wine on the stone platform. The eldest grandson Wugou is wearing a plain embroidered robe, a dark green cloak, tied in a girlish bun, neat bangs, bright eyes and white teeth, dignified and bright , she poured a glass of wine, put both hands in front of Gao Bufan, and said softly: "I wish Gao Lang a smooth journey to Zhuojun, and the journey will be smooth and skyrocketing."

Gao Bufan took the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, then said softly, "I'll pick you up when I come back."

The eldest grandson Wugou nodded embarrassingly, then stood up and saluted with blessings, turned around and returned to the carriage, after sitting down, he finally couldn't help moistening his eyes.

Seeing this, the servant girl stuck out her tongue, and said in a low voice: "Young lady is so straightforward, I thought she didn't miss my uncle at all. It turned out that she was just pretending, but she was really very reluctant."

The eldest grandson Wugou wiped his eyes in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "A good man has ambitions everywhere, and Gao Lang is a galloping horse. At this moment, how can Wugou tie him down with the love of his son and daughter."

The waiter heard the words and said in admiration: "That is to say, girl, you know the general idea. If you are a maidservant, you will hold the corner of my uncle's clothes and cry... Hehe, maidservant is making an analogy, girl, don't take it seriously."

Seeing his own girl looking over, Shi Shu blushed and said with a sneer.

In the long pavilion, Gao Bufan watched his eldest grandson Wugou's slim back disappear behind the curtain of the carriage, he couldn't help but secretly smiled wryly, and was a little ashamed that he was not as easy-going as a big man than a little girl, thinking about it, lingered in his heart The sorrow of parting faded away, and he took the initiative to raise his glass to drink with his eldest grandson Wuji, and said with a smile, "Wuji, how are you thinking? Follow me to Zhuojun to develop? Although my temple is small, it has potential , and the boat is small enough to turn around."

A few days ago, Gao Shilian left to go to the south to take up his post, and Pei Xingyan and Su Dingyue also went to Hulaoguan to take up posts. Gao Shitai and Wei Dazhong were on duty, so today only the eldest grandson Wuji brother and sister saw Gao Bufan off.

I saw Changsun Wuji shaking his head: "Changqing's kindness is appreciated. Now that my uncle is relegated to Jiaozhi, and there is no male to take care of him at home, how can I do it? What's more, Wuji is still wearing a mourning bag, and I still have to wait two years. Let’s talk about your marriage with Wugou.”

Gao Bufan nodded and said: "That's right, then Wuji take care of everything, if you need help, send someone to Yingyang Mansion in Zhuojun to find me at any time."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "I will."

Then he lowered his voice and said: "I originally planned to take the imperial examination to become an official, but the emperor has ordered the third Eastern Expedition after the spring of next month. Presumably next year's imperial examination will also be cancelled. The current situation in the Sui Dynasty is no longer optimistic. I'm afraid... the situation will be even worse if we send out a large army to march eastward.

Before leaving, my uncle also told me not to be in a hurry to become an official, but to concentrate on studying for two more years. After accumulating a lot of money, I can take the opportunity to see the direction of the wind. Alas, if it weren't for the entanglements at home, Wuji would really like to go to Zhuolu with you, Changqing. county. "

Indeed, now that the Sui Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, there are so many anti-Sui rebels everywhere, and even the imperial government's decree has been difficult to reach the whole country, and some places are actually in a state of separatism. Yang Guang even insisted on carrying out the third Eastern Expedition at this time. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the end of the Sui Dynasty. Presumably there are not a few talents like Changsun Wuji who are waiting for the time to sell.

Gao Bufan poured another glass of wine for Changsun Wuji, and said in a low voice: "As usual, Da Sui won't be able to last for a few years. It's good for Wuji to devote himself to studying for two years, and he can just take care of the family."

Changsun Wuji was slightly startled, and looked at Gao Bufan in surprise. He had already spoken more blatantly, but he did not expect Gao Bufan to be outspoken and so sure. From this point of view, Changqing must already have his own plan.

Changsun Wuji took another deep look at Gao Bufan, drank the wine in his glass, and said with a double entendre: "I wish Changqing all the best in this trip, and you will make great progress, and you will be a bird!"

"Thank you, Cheng Wuji's good words, let's leave now!" Gao Bufan stood up and cupped his fists, picked up the long knife on the table, and gracefully jumped on the big green horse, his movements were vigorous and heroic.

"Miss, look quickly, my uncle is on the horse!" Inside the carriage, the servant girl raised a corner of the curtain and said anxiously.

The eldest grandson Wugou shook her head, pursed her cherry lips tightly, and hardened her heart not to look, she was afraid that she might not be able to hold back the tears, and she was also worried that Gao Lang would see her crying.

"Wuji, take care of Wugou for me." Gao Bufan silently glanced at the oil-painted carriage not far away, and said in a deep voice.

Changsun Wuji nodded, and said with a bit of taste: "Of course, the maidservant Guanyin is my own younger sister. You don't need to tell me, Changqing, that my elder brother has been hurting her for more than ten years, and you are not as good as the later one." What about Nine Streets?"

Gao Bufan sweated secretly, and said with a smile: "After next year, there will be nothing to do with your brother."

"Let's talk about it after next year." Changsun Wuji also said with a smile.

"Let's go!" Gao Bufan turned the horse's head, turned the horse's head, and galloped out with the west wind on his back. He was wearing a green shirt, a long sword, and a cloak, hunting like an eagle spreading its wings.

"Young master is leaving!" the servant said in a low voice.

The eldest grandson Wugou hastily lifted up the curtains and looked over, seeing that the young man on the horse had gone away, his heart was filled with sorrow, and the tears of longing finally couldn't help falling down. Gao Lang.

Gao Bufan galloped out of Lixu, Yuchi Jingde had already led more than [-] riders and waited by the side of the road, seeing Gao Bufan galloping, he gave an order, and everyone stood up and waited in silence.

Gao Bufan rode his horse and stopped in front of the crowd, Yuchi Jingde took the lead to salute: "See General Gao Lang!"

"See General Gao Lang!" A group of Yingyang soldiers bowed on one knee in unison. The young man in green shirt and long sword in front of him will be their official boss in the future.

Gao Bufan was high-spirited, and now he is also a person who holds the military power in his hands. Although there are not many troops under his command, he still has a quota of 1000 people. If he were to be a regiment-level officer in future generations, he waved his hand and shouted: "Get on the horse!"

A group of government soldiers immediately got on their horses, equally high-spirited, they had all experienced their extraordinary culture and martial arts, and superman's courage. With such a boss, everyone felt that the future was bright.

It is worth mentioning here that all the soldiers present at the scene have been pardoned due to the reason of atonement, and the officers were reinstated. In addition, Yuchi Jingde was also promoted to a higher rank, from Yingyang Xiaowei to Yingying. General Shi Lang, that is, Gao Bufan's deputy.

The famous door god in history has become his deputy. Even Gao Bufan thinks that Bilas is awesome, and he also has a lightning bolt. He wonders when he can bring Qin Shubao over. After parting in Huaiyuan City last time, I haven't seen Tai Shubao and Luo Shixin for more than a year, and I don't know if they are still working under Lai Huer's command.

Gao Bufan was about to give the order to set off, when suddenly there was a melodious and low-pitched flute sound on the Luoshui River, the melody was very familiar, like crying, it was the classic "Farewell at the Changting Pavilion".

Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, there are fragrant grasses and green sky.Evening wind blows the tower, the sound of the flute remains, and the setting sun is beyond the mountains...

Everyone hurriedly followed the sound of the flute, and saw a light boat going down the upper reaches of the Luoshui River, with a slim woman standing on the bow. , like a water fairy.

"It seems to be Director Qing!" Yuchi Jingde blurted out, and everyone's eyes subconsciously looked at the boss Gao Bufan. After all, they all have self-knowledge, and Director Qing is obviously sending off for General Gao Lang, not for any of them .

Gao Bufan stared in surprise, but saw the graceful figure in green clothes standing tall on the boat, holding the jade flute horizontally, with his fingers rising and falling, the sound of the flute was sobbing, like weeping, every note seemed to fall on Li Ren's heart.

Gao Bufan listened to Li Shutong's heavy farewell song by the long pavilion, and he couldn't help feeling a deep sense of parting in his heart.

A few days ago, Yang Qingruo had made it clear that if her eldest grandson Wugou appeared, she would not see Gao Bufan off, but Gao Bufan wanted Gao Bufan to send her a farewell poem in advance. I will definitely see him off, so I had to "compose" this song "Farewell at the Changting Pavilion" at the bottom of the box and give it to Yang Qingruo as a kind of compensation. Unexpectedly, Yang Qingruo was deeply touched after listening to it, and cried so much , and did not appear again until Gao Bufan set off today.

It's just that Gao Bufan didn't expect that Qing Ruo would send himself off in such an ingenious way. For a moment, he was moved and melancholy, but more importantly, he was reluctant and worried!

As a member of the royal family, Yang Qingruo is a staunch royalist. It is her mission and responsibility to protect Yang Guang and maintain the rule of the Sui Dynasty, so Gao Bufan knows that Qingruo is unlikely to leave Yang Guang's side until the mission ends. .

But fortunately, according to the trend of history, the lives of Guo Zuo and Yang Guang of the Great Sui Dynasty will come to an end in a few years. How to get away from yourself.

At the end of the sky, at the corner of the sea, half of friends are scattered.A pot of turbid wine to enjoy the rest of the day, don't dream of coldness tonight...

The sound of the flute is getting weaker, the green clothes are far away, and the final sight is out of reach, only the Luoshui is leisurely, and the autumn wind is bleak!
Gao Bufan lifted his spirits, clamped his horse's belly, and shouted: "Let's go!"

The big green horse doesn't have so many sorrows of parting, nor so many troubles in the world. It has long been impatient, and immediately let out a long roar, spread its four hooves, and couldn't wait to turn into a cloud of green smoke, soaring wildly go out.

"Drive!" Yuchi Jingde yelled, and more than 200 cavalry rode their horses galloping, their hooves sounded like thunder, they set off billows of dust, and galloped towards the land of secluded swallows.

It is exactly: the dust and smoke all the way are thousands of miles away, and the eagles and swallows are in the nine heavens.
