Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 188 Xie Daoyun

Xie Mansion in Wuyi Lane, Jiankang City.In Xie Daoyun's study, Xie Daoyun stretched out his jade-like wrist, held up his fragrant cheeks, and stared blankly at the book kitchen under the gable, his big eyes that used to be bright and brilliant, now seem a little stagnant.At this time, the entire Xie Mansion was shrouded in a thick cloud of gloom.

In the first year of Shengping ([-]), the family Bo Yuzhou Mu and Zhenxi General Xie Shangbing took office.Later, his father Xie Yi supervised the military forces of Henan, Si, Hebei and the four prefectures, General Anxi, governor of Yuzhou, and Jiajie died in office in the second year of Shengping the following year.Then the imperial court appointed Xie Wan as governor of Yuzhou and general of Xizhong Lang to lead the Northern Expedition.Who would have thought that the fourth uncle would swear to the Northern Expedition here, but suddenly there was news that Gao Jingzong, the governor of Henan's righteous people, led the elite soldiers from the eight prefectures, and unexpectedly met Murong Chui in Feng County. The elite Yan army led by [-] was almost wiped out.

When the fourth uncle Xie Wan heard the news, he was so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma. Although the doctor rescued him urgently, he came back to life, but his body fell down.In the current family, the second uncle died early, and the third uncle Xie An was a vagabond who only cared about drinking and having fun all day long. The entire Xie family didn't even have a single supporter.

Xie Daoyun turned his head, and on the bookcase, there were several large cabinets full of books from Four Books and Five Classics, Historical Records, Hanshu, Mohism, Buddhism and Taoism.Since I was a child, I have been familiar with military books and war strategies, and I am proficient in civil and military strategy. My father Xie Yi and uncle Xie An praised me for being inferior to ten men, but I have no chance to show my ambitions.Hateful, why am I not a man?
Countless thoughts came one after another.At this time when the country is in danger and the mountains and rivers are broken, annoyances come to my heart one after another.

At this moment, Yuqing, the personal maid, walked into the study with the tea that had just been brewed in the red clay stove, put the teacup on the desk, and said with a charming smile, "Could it be that the eldest lady is thinking about your second son Wang?"

"Don't mention him to me!" Xie Daoyun's father, Xie Yi, had a deep personal relationship with Wang Xizhi, and he had engaged Xie Daoyun to marry Wang Xizhi's second son, Wang Ningzhi.However, Wang Xizhi's masters are all talented. In terms of calligraphy, they can get their style by practicing, get their momentum by emblem, get their appearance by their appearance, and get their source by presenting.However, Ningzhi is the most mediocre one. He is not only pedantic, but also extremely dull, which Xie Daoyun likes very much.

Last year, Xie Daoyun turned sixteen. According to the family rules of the Xie family in Chenjun, women can only marry when they turn sixteen (one year old).But Xie Daoyun reached the age of marriage, but lost his father.It is necessary to observe filial piety for three years, and when the four-year period of Shengping expires tomorrow, you can get married.Xie Daoyun saw that Yuqing's eyes were slightly red, and teased, "What are you in a hurry for? I can't run away because of the life of the big girl."

Yuqing was speechless, half of the maids who were maids would accompany them when they got married, and being a housekeeper would serve as bed servants for the master!That daughter is not pregnant?Since it is the life of a big girl in the house, the husband of the young lady is also my husband, so I naturally hope that he will be younger and gentler.

Wang Erlang's appearance, knowledge, and family background are all first-class, but he is just a little older.And I heard that she is extremely lecherous, even though she is not yet married, she has taken more than a dozen concubines in succession.This was originally a customary rule of a rich family, but Wang Erlang was so intemperate. His concubine was already fourteen years old, and after Xie Daoyun married, he became the eldest mother of a 14-year-old boy. How could Xie Daoyun feel so embarrassed?
Xie Daoyun said: "Yuqing, change clothes, I want to go out."

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Jiangnan was also contaminated with the habits of northern Hu people.People are very open.With Yuqing's help, Xie Daoyun put on a blue Confucian shirt, a folding fan in his hand, and a Lun scarf on his head.On the other hand, he is dressed as a talented young man of the gentry.

It may not be easy in other dynasties to say that women disguised themselves as men.However, it was very easy in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.Because of the habits of this era, it is almost impossible to distinguish between men and women, and the children of the gentry must not only wear a sachet, but also apply a thick face powder when they go in and out.Moreover, a man's beauty is thin and thin, and he will definitely not be in a hurry when he walks, but will fall on both sides when the wind blows, and Ana is very beautiful.

Xie Daoyun plugged the ear holes with rouge, smeared a layer of ginger on the face, and covered the shoulders with shoulder pads made of bamboo.In this way, Xie Daoyun became a man with strong shoulders.

Xie Daoyun walked out of Wuyi Lane and came to the bank of Xuanwu Lake.But I saw an old man who was selling Hubing with his burden, put down his burden and came to a shop selling mutton soup by the lake, and said softly: "Old man Wang, have you heard? The white captive Murong Chui led an army of 20 to attack us Da Jin was beaten and wiped out by the Henan Governor Gao!"

The old man's wrinkled old face was filled with happiness at this moment.

"Why haven't you heard of it?" The old man Wang who sells haggis soup looked around vigilantly, then lowered his voice, and responded mysteriously, "What you are talking about is old Huangli, and there are shouts everywhere in the city. This matter. Everyone said that Governor Gao had broken through Liang County and regained a large area of ​​Henan."

"It's a good thing!" The old man said puzzled, "Are you still afraid that people won't listen to it?"

Old man Wang said timidly: "It's not like we Han people don't have this!"

As he said, the old man Wang gave a thumbs up, and then sighed: "But, our court doesn't see heroes coming out, I'm afraid it will rob them of their country. What kind of hero was the grandfather (Zu Ti) back then? Killed in Henan Hu'er's head was rolling, but the good times didn't last long, and the grandfather let go. I heard that he was angry with the court. Now the high governor has just won a few battles. If the court knows, won't it send someone to be angry Dead High Commander?"

The old man nodded, tears streaming down his face: "So, my old bones are going to be thrown here?"

Old man Wang said, "Who says it's not? We even lost our ancestral graves. How can we explain to our ancestors when we come down here?"

The diners in the mutton shop also wept secretly.

Xie Daoyun pouted at Yuqing, and Yuqing quickly stuffed more than a hundred red copper coins into the hands of old man Wang: "My Dalang wants to hear about the affairs of the high governor, please tell me..."

Old man Wang who sells haggis soup also smiled, took out a large wooden bowl, wiped it casually with a rag, scooped a large bowl of mutton soup from the pot, and put a few more pieces of fat lamb into it Oil.Then he pushed the bowl towards the edge of the table, pretending to be generous and said: "Your Majesty, use it slowly!"

The old man Wang cleared his throat and said, "It is said that Dudu Gao came down to earth from the Seven Killing Stars in the sky. This Seven Killing Star Lord... old man, I don't know what's going on..."

Xie Daoyun continued: "The Seven Killing Stars are the generals, and when they meet the emperor, they have power. They have the ability to strategize, and they have the characteristics of being strong and extreme, aggressive, adventurous, and adventurous. Life is good or bad, and success or failure is difficult to judge."

Old man Wang said: "I'm stupid, I don't know how to speak, this money..."

Xie Daoyun lacked interest, so she got up immediately and was about to leave.But there was a middle-aged diner in the shop who cleared his throat and said: "It is said that the Seven Killing King came down to earth, and he brought eight fairy masters with him. If you want to ask which eight fairy masters they are, the first one to shake his head is the flying tiger general Hu Guang. Make a red gold ring knife. This knife weighs more than a thousand catties...

Xie Daoyun was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't this too absurd?"

Turning around, the diners in the shop were all fascinated by what they heard.
