The prince is very fierce

The Crown Prince is Very Fierce. Chapter 38 of the Hidden Dragon Scales: A Pot of Wine "Tiger" among the Flowers

"Tiger"

"Tiger"

The sky-shaking horn, like thunder and iron hooves, resounded on the edge of the thousands of miles of yellow sand.

The majestic and majestic city lies on the Gobi Desert, the cross wind sweeps the king's flag hunting, and the endless Luo and horse teams stretch to the end of the sky.

Suzhou City is a new city built less than 60 years ago. It is the capital of the entire northwest and the last big city on the edge of Yangyang Dayue Map. Five hundred miles further west is Yumen Pass.

There is a spring under the city, and its water is like wine. This place has also been called "Jiuquan" since ancient times. It is located at the hub of the Hexi Corridor, the lifeline connecting the Western Regions and the Central Plains. It used to be outside Qianyang Pass, the gate of the Central Plains Dynasty, until in front of Jiazi Only then was King Su Lie opened up wasteland and gnawed it down.

It was April, and the sun was already scorching over thousands of miles of yellow sand.

Thousands of horses galloped across the yellow sand. Even though they were several miles away, the caravans on the official road were still intimidated by its momentum. They bowed their heads, not daring to show any arrogance or dissatisfaction under the glances of the city gate guards.

The population of Suzhou City is not as large as that of Chang'an, and it does not have the elegance of the Jiangnan water town or the thickness of the hinterland of the Central Plains. It is like a barbarian wrapped in animal skins, holding a big knife, sitting on the street and munching wine and meat. He cannot enter the elegant hall of literati and ladies. , even jokingly called a "rough man", but whenever war tears apart the bead curtains and powerful enemies step into the house, it is such a barbarian who can give people a sufficient sense of security. This is Suzhou !

Thousands of miles of yellow sand are like the sea, and thousands of horses are galloping like the waves.

Just outside this rough and heroic city, there is a little bit of colorful green, the river is gentle, the grass is long and the orioles are flying, and the sea of ​​flowers everywhere is incompatible with the surrounding scenery, as if she is a well-educated lady. , fell into the bandit village.

This sea of ​​​​flowers, where no outsider can step foot in, has a name that is incompatible with the scenery, called "Little Sword Sea". It comes from the fact that the ancestors of the Lu family in the East China Sea sank into the sea with a sword on the Baichi Cliff and established the clan. Therefore, The Lu family in the East China Sea is also known as the "Lu Chen Jian Hai", and Princess Su grew up there.

In early summer, April is the time when hundreds of flowers are in bloom.

Among the sea of ​​colorful flowers, a small wooden house is peacefully located. Wind chimes are hung at the four corners of the wooden house. The northwest wind never stops, and it always makes a soft sound of 'ding-ding-dong-dong'.

The wooden house has been around for some time, but it is as clean and tidy as new. There are wooden horses, a big bed, a swing, etc. inside. There is a portrait hanging in the middle, and a memorial tablet is placed under the portrait. Three sticks of incense have just been half-burned.

There is a small terrace outside the house. Two empty deck chairs are placed on the terrace. There is a cradle in the middle. There are also wind chimes hanging on the cradle, but they are tied up with red ropes. They must be ringing all the time to keep the baby in the cradle from sleeping. That's why I thought so.

Everything is the same as it was many years ago, but the past has long since changed.

At the edge of the terrace, a man in a python robe was sitting lazily with his elbows on his knees. He had peach blossom eyes and sharp eyebrows. He was holding a green wine gourd in his hand, which was originally a pair with the vermilion wine gourd. In terms of body shape, he is somewhat similar to Xu Buling, but the man has a head full of white hair tied between golden crowns, and the wrinkles accumulated over time cannot be hidden in the corners of his eyes. His temperament does not have the sharp edge of Xu Buling, only the vicissitudes of life. of indifference and tranquility.

Huhu

The cross wind swept through the wooden house and set off ripples on the sea of ​​flowers.

As the master of this world, the man only focused on the small area beside him, where there was a pair of embroidered shoes. In the place of the embroidered shoes, there should have been a very heroic heroine, sitting here in the same posture as him. At this time, there was only one person left. No matter how beautiful this sea of ​​flowers was, it seemed to have no meaning. Peerless Tang Sect fo

Tread

The sound of footsteps came, and an old man in a robe walked over among the flowers. He had a straight knife hanging on his waist and a letter in his hand. He walked behind the man and nodded slightly:

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from the Crown Prince."

Su Wang Xu You recovered from his past thoughts, raised his hand to take the envelope, opened it and glanced at it.

The old man in military robes was called Lao Yue by the people of Prince Su's Mansion. Together with Lao Xiao, he was known as the two gate gods of Prince Su's Mansion. People in the world liked to call him "Yue Jiu Lou". He attacked and defended with Lao Xiao, and the attackers stayed. By King Su's side, he was guarding Xu Buling.

Lao Yue was not as talkative as Lao Xiao, he just stood behind and waited quietly.

Xu You read this short letter for a long time. It was only when the sun was setting and the sound of horse hooves in the distance gradually faded away that he closed the rice paper:

"Don't care about your life or death, think twice before doing anything... Your child has grown up."

Lao Yue stood quietly with his hands behind his hands, and after thinking carefully, he said in a calm tone: "The prince is a genius of his generation. He has experienced ups and downs, and it is reasonable to have some insights."

Xu You smiled softly, put the envelope in his arms, picked up the tea-green wine gourd, and looked at the sea of ​​flowers in front of him:

"The princess said back then that I was incompetent, that I didn't have the world in my eyes, and only thought about my family and one room... In the end, I still liked that my king had a small structure and only thought about my family and one room. It was difficult to have both the family and the country. Ten years ago, I stood on the side of the world. , the princess does not blame this king, but this king has already suffered. Now Ling'er also asks this king to stand on the side of the world, and then take action... It doesn't matter if he is alone, and the whole world is attacked, it is better to set fire to it. As a memorial."

Lao Yue shook his head: "The prince is just guessing after all. If the imperial court is behind his back, he would never dare to kill the prince. Otherwise, he would have already taken action on the Weihe River and would not have kept the prince until now. A king will follow his words and he will not be able to take back an arrow. When you come back, the prince is right to let the prince wait and see what happens before he makes any move."

Xu You was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "It is because you all think so that the other party is so unscrupulous... Ling'er risked his life in the Taiji Hall and was seriously injured. The person behind the scenes sent the antidote wine, which must be a conspiracy. In order to prevent complications, I am afraid that they will take action soon... Pass the order and let the western and northern armies gather in Qinzhou secretly. If Ling'er makes any mistakes, they will directly lead the army to pacify Chang'an."

Old Yue frowned: "Your Majesty, please think twice. If the person behind the scenes is not the current emperor, wouldn't it be a trap?"

Xu You glanced at the sea of ​​flowers and said The voice was calm:

"So what if he fell into a trap? At least the person behind the scenes must be in Chang'an. It is impossible to kill all the wrong people by slaughtering millions of people in Chang'an."

"This..."

Old Yue frowned, brewed a little, but just sighed softly:

"Please think twice, Your Majesty."

"With the world's Go board, even if they are good at calculating and strategizing, they still have to play chess with me. Why think twice if you can turn over the chessboard? I want to see if he dares to make a move."

After Xu You finished speaking, he waved his python robe and strode away, his gray hair disappearing among the purple and red.

Old Yue stood there thinking for a long time, finally shook his head, turned around and went to the Xiliang Army camp stationed outside Suzhou City...
