Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

"Let me go?" Yuan Aolie frowned: "How can he have such ability? I'm afraid only Sanlang wants us to leave! Sanlang is not a fool. How old is his son? If he drives us away, who will guard him? Japan!"

"Yes, that boy is really not good now, but what about in three to five years, six or seven years? Don't forget, he is recruiting party members now. In a few years, he will become more and more mature, and let us go by then. ,what to do?"

When Yuan Aolie heard this, he was speechless. He picked up the wine glass and drank it hard. After a while, he said dejectedly: "If this is really the case, there is nothing we can do. After all, he is the Japanese one." My lord, you and I are already quite old at that time. At most, we can become rich men in our own manors. We have also accumulated some furniture and property over the years. For Saburo's sake, he shouldn't How about using our personal money?"

"If you have money to care for yourself, then you have a lot of money to care for yourself!" He Bayong sneered: "Well, even if that kid, for the sake of his father, wants to let us uncles take care of themselves in old age because of old friendship, we are It doesn’t matter, what about our children? What will they do when they grow up? Are they going to live in vain? Like us, carrying a bow and bag and starting as a big soldier? Then hasn’t our blood been shed in vain these years? "

"Then, what can you do?" Yuan Aolie spread his hands: "In the final analysis, this Japanese country belongs to others no matter how you say it. It was that boy who made the pact with Baima in the first place. The Japanese would not recognize anyone else. We are Guests, other people are the masters. When the master gets older, we guests will have to make room for us. At most, we can get some land and money, but it will be difficult for us to do anything else!"

"Of course there is a way!" He Bayong touched his chin and sneered: "But it's useless for me alone, you also have to help."

"Me? How can I help?" Yuan Aolie put down his wine glass: "I'm going to talk ugly to you, so don't cheat me!"

"Look at how bad you are!" He Baoyong glanced at Yuan Aolie with disdain: "You are right in what you said, that boy is the master and we are guests, but what if the master dies? Then there will be no Lord?"

"What do you mean? Are you crazy if you want to kill him?" Yuan Aolie was startled: "He is Sanlang's biological son. You hurt him, and Sanlang can spare you? No, absolutely not!"

"Trash, did I say I was going to kill him?" He Bayong sneered: "How could I be so handsome like you when I was so surprised!"

"Then what do you mean?" Yuan Aolie asked in confusion.

"I won't kill him, but that doesn't mean he won't die! Didn't he want to fight Silla? Okay, let him go, anything can happen on the battlefield!"

Yuan Aolie's mouth opened wide, and then he closed it again after a while: "You, you want to——"

"I didn't think about anything. Do you understand?" He Bayong smiled and picked up the wine glass: "Here, drink!"

"Yes, yes, drink!" Yuan Aolie also hurriedly raised his wine glass, completely unaware that it was empty.

There is a trace of the mansion.

"Ah, Gao Dian, you have given birth to a good son!" Ji saw that Chiyang's face was red from drinking. He patted Ping Ji's deputy hand, raised the wine plate and said to Gao Sheji on the right: "Your Majesty Meng To be personally given a purple robe and serve with a bow and arrow, this is a rare privilege since ancient times! My whole family has been fighting for His Majesty for so many years, and my descendants do not get such treatment. To be honest, I am a little jealous of you!"

"I don't dare!" Gao Sheji lowered his head respectfully: "I never thought that Your Majesty would be so kind to a child. I am really ashamed!"

"Yes!" Ji Jian Chiying sighed: "Don't talk about you, even I didn't think of it beforehand. It should be said that this is luck. Your son has caught it, but don't let go again!"

"Your Highness has taught me, I will remember it!"

"Hey!" Ji Jian Chiyong waved his hand: "You don't have to be so formal tonight. Let's put it this way, since His Majesty treats your son so favorably, it is not appropriate for you to continue to be my disciple. So, From now on, you can establish your own sect! You will also make many meritorious deeds when you follow His Majesty to conquer Silla——" He waved his hand to stop Gao Sheji's words: "I know your family has no money, and you don't have many subordinates. Troops, don't worry. I will support you with money and armor. As for manpower, there are many poor warriors from various countries in Namba Kyo and mercenaries from various countries. You can choose carefully, so you can go ahead with peace of mind. !”

Hearing this, Gao Sheji was already a little overjoyed. His long-cherished wish for many years was actually in front of him. However, he had not completely lost his mind. He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, and Chi Jian's support was certainly not in vain. , then he bowed down and said, "Thank you so much for Ji Jiandian's kindness. However, I really deserve this kind of kindness. I wonder if there is anything I can do to repay you? Please give me your instructions!"

"Hahaha!" Ji Jian Chiying burst into laughter: "Gaodian, Gaodian, it saves effort to talk to a smart person like you, okay, I won't beat around the bush. I like your child Yannian very much, I have He has a daughter who is one year older than him and about the same age. If the two of them get married, then the things I mentioned before will be treated as dowry. From now on, I will try my best to help him in the court, what do you think?"

Gao Sheji breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Akami Akashi's request. Although the Akaki family could only be regarded as a rising star in terms of their family background, they could not compare with Fujiwara and Mononobe, the rich families with a long history of Japanese people. However, Takahiro With great power, it would be of great benefit to both Gao Sheji himself and Gao Yannian to be able to marry him.Thinking of this, Gao Sheji quickly raised the wine plate: "If that's the case, it's settled!"

"Okay, okay, then we are a family!" Chi Jian Chiyun laughed loudly: "Then we will get married as soon as Yannian comes back, and we will save you many long nights and dreams!"

By the time the banquet was over, Gao Sheji was already drunk, and Ji Jian Chi Yang asked his brothers, nephews, and nephews to come to the palace to besiege his future in-laws together.Under the siege of everyone, the chicken in the high house finally collapsed.With the help of the maid, he returned to his residence and lay on the couch. The torches on the stone pillars in the courtyard shone on the window sill, like an island of light in the mist. Outside the courtyard, on the seaside, the beacon fire on the towering lighthouse floated in the dense water vapor at night. , like a hazy and magical orange moon, making his emotions drift.

Has the wind of fortune finally blown in your direction?This shouldn't be a cruel joke, right?The first half of Gao Sheji's life was an unlucky one. He practiced martial arts hard since he was a child and fought bravely. However, the situation of the country became worse day by day. The ally Baekje was conquered by the Tang Dynasty, and then came the Japanese country. The country's powerful ministers were in power and there were endless internal fights. , and finally, under siege from three sides by the Tang people, the country was finally defeated, and he was reduced from a martial sect to a subjugated nation.In order to escape the fate of becoming a captive, he chose to go to the Japanese country and took his family and clan across the sea to a desolate place where there were more people than deer.The days that followed were logging, building houses, opening fields, and hunting. He supported his family like a farmer. The only thing that supported him was the slim hope of reviving the Gao family.But the hope is so meager, like flying reed flowers. Sometimes he also thinks in his heart that maybe he will never see the day when his family will be restored in this life. Whenever this happens, he will train his son more and more fiercely—— He can only place his hope on the next generation.

On the locust tree outside the courtyard, a nightingale began to sing, and the chicken in the high house turned over and sat up. The alcohol made his two temples beat violently, like two leather drums being beaten.The nightingale's song seemed to be a song of victory in his ears, and he found that he could not fall asleep, but his mouth was extremely dry.The high-shelf chicken tried to stand up and go find some water to drink.

Bang!
With a sound, Gao She Ji fell to the ground. The alcohol made his mind excited, but his hands and feet were not in control. He wanted to get up in frustration, but could not succeed. After several futile struggles, Gao She Ji fell to the ground. Giving up, he lay on the floor with his legs spread out, looking up at the ceiling.

"Father, what's wrong with you? Why are you lying on the ground!" Gao Yannian's voice came from outside. "Is it Yannian! Come on, help me!" Gao Sheji hurriedly said. With the help of his son, he sat up: "Ji Jian Palace invited me to a banquet tonight, so I drank a few more drinks!"

"That can't be too much!" Gao Yannian carefully helped Gaoshe Chicken back to the quilt: "It's all turned into a puddle of mud!"

"I can't help it, I'm so happy!" Gao Sheji looked at his son's youthful and energetic face with the help of the firelight on the stone pillars in the yard, and a sense of happiness rushed into his heart: "Did you know? Ji Jiandian proposed to let us Establish your own sect, and let us recruit people with our money and effort, so you can become your own army!"

"Really? That's great!" Gao Yannian smiled and said, "Dad, the thing you have always wanted to do about reviving the family has finally come to an end!"

"Yes, we finally have an idea!" Gao Sheji sighed: "But he also has a condition, that is, you must marry his daughter as your wife, but this is also the right thing to do. After all, unless it is your own son-in-law, who can Are you willing to give your money and effort for nothing? I have already agreed. The girl is one year older than you. We have settled the matter before the expedition, so everyone can feel at ease."

Gao Sheji was talking to himself, completely unaware that his son fell into silence. A few minutes later, Gao Yannian replied angrily: "Dad, I don't want to marry a daughter from the Jijian family!"

"Don't want to get married? Why?" Gao Sheji turned around and said, "His daughter is only one year older than you, and she is about the same age. Besides, although Ji Jian Chixu is a new rich man, she is very wealthy and powerful. You will also be in the court in the future. If you need support, wouldn’t this kill two birds with one stone?”

"I don't know, but I just don't want to get married!" Gao Yannian replied.

Gao Sheji was completely awake: "Yannian, do you not want to get married or do you not want to get married to the daughter of the Ji Jian family?"

Gao Yannian muttered a few times, and finally said: "Aren't they all the same? Anyway, I just don't want to get married!"

Gao Sheji's eyes were fixed on his son's face, and finally Gao Yannian had to lower his head to avoid his father's gaze.

"Have you fallen in love with another girl?"

Faced with his son's silence, Gao Sheji already got the answer he wanted: "Whose family does it belong to? Tell the truth?"

"That's it, that little miko, called Hana Yaksha!"

"I knew it, you little thing!" Gao Sheji snorted coldly: "When you see the color of your daughter's children, you forget everything!"

"I have made an appointment with her. After the matter is completed, I will go to Izumo Taisha Shrine to find her!" Gao Yannian said.

"Izumo Taisha Shrine is looking for her?" Gao Sheji sneered: "Do you know what this miko does?"

"Serving the gods!"

"Serving the gods, have you ever seen people wandering around like this to serve the gods?" Gao Sheji asked: "Also, how did Ah Guo know you and me? He used a letter from Chiying in exchange for our fight. Bandit, do you think this is what a witch should do?"

Gao Yannian was speechless by his father's question. After a while, he muttered: "I know what they are doing, I just want to marry Hua Yaksha!"

"Fart!" Gao Sheji angrily yelled, "You don't even know what that woman does, who is in the family, and who she is, and yet you said you want to marry her? You obviously got angry because she was so good-looking. It’s just lust!”

"I like her good looks, and I also want to marry her! Isn't this allowed?"

"No!" Gao Sheji said: "There is no need for a real man to have a wife. If you want to marry a wife, you must marry a woman who can help you in the court in the future. Don't forget that you are no longer the wild child of the Musashi Kingdom. , but the noble man who was given the purple robe by the king himself." At this point, his tone softened a little: "If you really like that Hua Yaksha, it's not impossible. When you become famous, you can bring her back!"

"Father, you said that I am already a nobleman who has been given a purple robe by the king, so why can't I act according to my own wishes?" Gao Yannian said angrily: "You obviously want to use the power of the Ji Jian family to reorganize the family. That's why you forced me to marry someone else's daughter. Aren't you single now? Why don't you marry me but you insist on marrying me!" After saying that, he turned around and walked away, leaving Gao Sheji alone in the house.

Compared to Zhouliu, Fanyang, and Jincheng, morning comes earlier in Namba Kyo.At dawn, a milky white edge appears on the horizon, forming a sharp contrast with the navy blue sky.Cao Wenzong has walked to the terrace outside the window, facing the sea, and started his daily homework. This has become his habit for decades. Regardless of the cold, heat, wind or frost, as long as conditions permit, he has to have two classes in the morning and evening every day.

By the time Cao Wenzong finished his homework, the sky was already covered with morning glow. He was about to wash up and go have breakfast, when he heard a servant reporting that He Bayong was asking for an audience.

"So early? Could it be that something big happened last night?" Cao Wenzong frowned. He had heard a lot about this powerful General He Ba in the past two years after he came to Japan. He has always been known to act with dignity. It's really weird for a famous person to visit so early in the morning.

"Ask him to go to the study and wait for a while. I'll be there right away!"
