When the Jiangnan season finally started to turn cold, it was already snowing in some places in the north. . The fastest update

The bitter north wind blew towards the south of the Yangtze River. The cold wind whistled away, bringing the coldness of bones and the breath of death. Even after Mengchashu became emperor, the barbarian army had gradually restrained for consideration of long-term stability, but the corpses all over the mountains seemed to be accusing something.

The first snow fell from the cold sky, which had begun to bury these corpses thrown randomly between the wilderness. By the next year, they would no longer exist, as if they had never appeared. However, Haojing was decorated with lights and colorful colors as the tiger's ascends to the throne, and colorful ribbons were flying everywhere, giving people a feeling of newness in everything.

The top leaders of the Barbarian Army actually considered the country name for a long time. The so-called "barbarian" has some meanings of self-deprecation and contempt, but for nearly a thousand years, the people living in Yinchuan, thousands of miles north, have always envied the lives of the Chinese and their fat land, as if they could never use up gold and silver. Compared with those Chinese with the beauty of crowns and uniforms, they are indeed like barbarians.

Now, they have begun to embrace the Central Plains. Although they have not yet unified the world, the Zhou Dynasty, which is huddled in the south, is no longer in their eyes. Calling themselves barbarians will be a bit self-deprecating.

So, after a long plan, Emperor Hu selected the word "new" from the few words presented by Shen Ce Zongbei, and the new dynasty... appeared out of thin air.

For such a country name, most Chinese literati who were forced to surrender to the barbarian army cursed in their hearts that "it's so terrible that it's not cultured." However, even so, they had to start quoting classics and praising the courage of this word, as well as the inevitability and justice that the new dynasty would eventually completely replace the Zhou Dynasty.

In a corner of the palace, sixty-four large and small bells hung on the four walls. These bells and chimes are collectively called palace hangings. They are part of the Zhou rituals inherited from ancient times in China. Sixty-four bells and chimes are singing together. They were originally a great joy that the emperor was qualified to enjoy. However, at this moment, the old man sitting in the hall listening to them was the hunched old man.

After occupying a large area of ​​land, some barbarians in the Xin Dynasty had already begun to live a life of decay. Most of these people were the leaders of some tribes. They were used to suffering, and suddenly lived a life of spending money, money, beauties, slaves, land, and whatever they wanted. Such a luxurious life was something they dared not imagine in the past. It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it was difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Whether it was China or barbarians, the nature of human beings was like this. Even if some leaders began to try to reverse these bad trends, the whole trend was not something they could easily change.

At this moment, Shen Ce Zongbei was narrowing his eyes slightly and listening to the music played. He was holding a memorial in his hand, which was about the implementation of the military merit system that was about to be implemented in the New Dynasty. Since signs of corruption have begun to appear at the upper level, use the military merit system to motivate the soldiers at the bottom. The implementation of the military merit system will surely break the overall structure of the barbarian army, which originally had a tribe that was not subordinate to each other. An indispensable turmoil will occur. Some people will rise up, but it will inevitably be swept into the garbage dump of history.

Beside him, the eight-lifted sedan fell down, and the falcons peeled the grapes one by one, the bloody grapes, just like the red lips she applied at the moment.

"You look very idle?" Shen Ce Zongbei raised his head and looked at her.

"Is that right?" said the queen of the falcon lightly, "The Ai family really wants to find something to do, but they really don't know what to do."

"Didn't anyone tell you that the word "Ai Family" is the queen mother who only claims to herself after her husband's death in China? Where do you place your honorary emperor?"

"It's true that someone told me this."

"Then what?"

"I told him that the emperor was not educated and he didn't understand this. Then he threw the scholar who reminded me of this into the fire pit." The queen looked at him coldly, "Are you reminding me now?"

Shen Ce Zongbei sighed, thinking that it would be better not to worry about such things anymore.

"What are you doing?" The falcon continued to eat grapes.

"Listen...I'm listening...I'm listening to the sound of the wind." The hunchbacked old man let out a mysterious strange smile.

"The wind blows south." The falcon said casually, "You have arranged the chess pieces in the south and are ready to start?"

"You are talking about the surname Lu? Haha," said the hunchbacked old man, "He is not a pawn, he is just a waste. If the waste is used well, it can also play a very good role, although the waste is waste after all."

"So, what did you hear from the wind?" The falcon raised his head, looking a little interested.

"The Chinese who can't kneel down for a long time... or the battle next spring." Shen Ce Zongbei's face was slightly distorted, "I wonder which one do you expect?"

The Queen of the Falcon didn't say anything, probably because she thought his answer was boring, so she continued to eat grapes...

In the mulberry forest hall, Ning Jiang raised his head, faced the north, and was also listening to the wind blowing from the north.

"Young master, it's cold, go to the house to hide from the wind?" Sun Ziluo came to him and added a windbreaker for him.

The young man sitting cross-legged under the eaves tightened his windbreaker: "Zi Luo, have you smelled anything in this wind?"

Sun Ziluo shook her head: "Young Master is saying..."

"The smell of rotten!" said the young man lightly, "The leaves began to fall, and many things began to rot. The north was rotting, and the south was rotting. Some were just starting to rot, and some were rotting from the root. Some people had their legs broken, kneeling down, and they felt particularly dazzling when they saw others standing. Some people felt bad when they saw plum branches that had blossomed in winter, but they felt particularly inconvenient."

"But, no matter what, winter will always pass, and spring will always come." Sun Ziluo said.

"Yes, no matter what, spring will always come, and those who can't see next spring are lucky or sad... I don't know."

"What will happen next spring...?"

"War... a war that can never stop will be either the barbarians or we will die." The young man stood up, turned around, and was about to enter the house.

"Young Master!" The tall barbarian woman stepped in at this time, "A palace maid came to the palace, saying that it was next to Princess Baotong. This was the invitation sent by the princess to give her to the prince."

"Princess Baotong." The young man was slightly surprised, but he turned around, took the invitation, opened it and looked, "Tomorrow at noon... Wushan Jiuqu Pavilion?"

"Young Master, what's wrong?" Sun Ziluo asked.

"Princess Baotong invites me to Wushan Jiuqu Pavilion for a while tomorrow morning." The young man frowned, "Princess Baotong... Wushan... Jiuqu Pavilion?"

With A Cai and Sun Ziluo's puzzled eyes, the young man sat down again, held the invitation, continued to look at the cold sky of the autumn knife, and listened to the sound of the wind. Finally, he sighed a long sigh.

A Cai said: "Young Master?"

"Jiuqu Pavilion... that's a very interesting place." A sneer appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth, "I originally thought that guy would definitely not dare to act rashly, but I didn't expect that he was a little confused. The outside is cruel and cruel... What does it mean to be cruel and cruel on the outside? People say that tiger poison does not eat anything!"

He stood up again: "Tonight, please summon everyone. How are you preparing on the side of the princess's mansion?"

Sun Ziluo said: "There has been a message on Qin Sanxia's side and everything is right."

The young man nodded: "Miss Lu, I promised her parents that she must send her safely out of Lin'an. Princess Hongdie cannot have any trouble. It is to give her father an explanation, and it is also to make Princess Shan feel at ease. Tomorrow morning, although the masters will be concentrated in Wushan, the princess's mansion will definitely be watched tightly. They will not allow us to take Huangfu Lu away like this. Everything will follow the plan, but we must also be prepared for the response. There will always be some uncalculable things in the world, so be prepared for any accidents."

A Cai asked, "The palace maid is still waiting outside, how should she reply?"

"Let her report back to the princess, I will go to the banquet tomorrow... I will definitely go." The young man turned around, pulled his windbreaker, and entered the house.

...

***

When the palace maid brought back the news that Mr. Ning agreed to go to the appointment, Baotong was happy.

In the imperial garden, the crabapple flowers all over the ground have a unique fragrance of the soil. The ground is full of red and spots, the air is fresh and has a kind of intoxicating pleasure.

In the evening, I asked the palace maids around me to help her carefully choose the clothes she would wear tomorrow morning. However, although I found the most beautiful clothes, I felt that they were not good enough, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad.

After dark, I lay on the bed. I didn't sleep well last night, so I wanted to go to bed early and prepare for tomorrow's meeting. The little black cat, who came out of nowhere, squatted beside her bed and looked at her quietly.

"Where have you gone?" Princess Baotong stretched out her hand in the quilt and gently touched its hair.

The little black cat looked at her with the blue and star-like eyes, and a pair of small cat ears trembled gently.

Extending his delicate, jade-like arm, Baotong gently hugged it tightly and hugged it in front of his chest, and felt a little worried in his heart. The father needs Mr. Ning's help. If he can resolve the conflict between them tomorrow, it will be a good thing for both the world and the father.

But, will you feel a little sorry for Hongdie if you do this? Hongdie also likes that person.

There is also Xiaolu, this cat, which he gave to Xiaolu, but Xiaolu lets it be by my side in order to comfort me. But I went to see Mr. Ning alone tomorrow morning... I felt like I was hiding it from them.

The girl was slightly, a little bit self-blame, and a little shy. In this happy expectation, she slowly fell asleep.

But in the dark, the little black cat continued to look at her with the cat eyes that emitted a mysterious light in the darkness. After the young girl was asleep, it gently drilled out of her arms and circled around her incense pillow. Suddenly, it looked towards the goose yellow point between her eyebrows, and then quickly turned back under the bed and jumped.

Princess Baotong suddenly opened her eyes and found that she was wrapped in an unknown blue light, as if she was attached to the back of a little black cat, jumping towards the windowsill as it followed it.

At this moment, she was somewhat nervous. When she turned around, the girl covered with a quilt embroidered with roses was still asleep and still not waking up. That was...she?

Is this just a dream?

The girl was a little confused. At this moment, she was light and felt like she had turned into an invisible wind. The little black cat jumped on the windowsill and looked back at her.

"Are you going to let me follow you?" the girl asked softly. However, this kind of inquiry seemed meaningless. The mysterious light overflowing from the little black cat lightly wrapped around her wind-like "body". In fact, she could not get rid of it.

The little black cat pushed the window a little open and picked it out like this.

The sky was already dark early. At this moment, the palace was quiet. Big red lanterns were hanging all corners of the palace. Two palace maids were walking under the eaves, carrying lanterns, and did not notice the little black cat passing by behind them, and could not find her existence.

After passing through the flowerbed, from the yellow stone walls, the delicate diamond-shaped panes, the little black cat ran under the night.

After passing several more temples, the little black cat stopped in the corner. In the officialdom ahead, two masters from the inner palace patrolled by a group of imperial guards and patrolled by the marble square. One of the masters looked here, but found nothing.

In this way, he ran all the way, and even reached the palace gate in the south, where many soldiers were guarding there. The little black cat rushed over, and Baotong shouted, "Stop, you will be discovered..."

After brushing, someone raised his head and felt that he had discovered something. He looked around carefully, but there was nothing abnormal. The little black cat disappeared like this.

The girl looked around, and the sudden change of the scene made her feel that she must be in a dream, although the dream was so real. Suddenly, she saw a group of people passing by in a hurry in the alley. Who are these people? She was wondering, but the little black cat looked back at her again and then continued to run forward. The girl could only continue to follow it.

The little black cat jumped onto an eaves and drilled into the air vent. The girl's soul body was half attached to its body. The little black cat hid on the sea of ​​algae, and a vague sound came from below. The girl thought to herself, this seemed to be the voice of the father?

Since it was a dream, I think I should be omnipotent, right? She tried and walked past the wooden board like this, looking down like a ghost. She saw that on the steps below, the father was telling some people what she had told her, and her brother was beside her. Those people quickly left, and then, Master Lu came to his father, and behind him, there were several barbarians.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready..." Grandpa Lu whispered in front of his father.
