The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade Chapter 48: Old man and mulberry

Blind Lao Xu is a Northern Liang veteran. He was originally a crossbowman. After being shot by Liu Ya, he turned to cavalry. His record is mediocre. Before he was disarmed and returned to the field, he didn’t save up a solid family background. He only got a sickness. He had settled in the city earlier and had plenty of money, but he just couldn’t stand the toss of a bunch of older brothers who were more poor than him. Most of them had to be funded by Old Xu The coffin money came and went two times. The lonely old Xu really had no money. Old Xu was a native of Jinzhou in Liaodong. He was lonely at a young age. He followed Dazhu Kingdom Xu Xiao from Jinzhou to western Liaoning, and then from western Liaoning to Xionghaiguan, and then moved to fight. In the Central Plains, many veterans enlisted at the same time as Lao Xu in the Spring and Autumn Wars, as long as they survived, they were able to join the army or the school lieutenant, and at the very least, they were able to receive a military officer who was a deputy lieutenant Zhaowu.

So Lao Xu is a veteran, but not a fierce soldier.

Don’t dare to tie your head on your trouser belt to fight for your fame, and you can still earn official posts. It’s only the sons of the rich family. Old Xu, a veteran who is not greedy for life but absolutely afraid of death, can not be cut off by the military commander. Fortunately for the head.

Lao Xu later became blind in one of his eyes, and he accidentally burned it by burning charcoal in the mountains, and he became the blind man Lao Xu in the alleys and alleys. The most unlucky thing is that after the blind old Xu went blind, the house leaked in the night rain, and accidentally stepped on a horse hoof that had not escaped the anointed beamer in the downtown area and became a lame man.

The group of Gao Liang brothers who brought the United States saw the old man rolling on the ground, they just laughed loudly. The blind old Xu wanted to grit his teeth and desperately, but when he touched the pole on the ground, he heard a voice saying where those brothers were. The son of Captain Wei Zhechong, who was the grandson of a writer and prince Xioma in the capital, Lao Xu threw a pole and cried like a child, yelling over and over again that I should have died long ago, making my scalp numb. , Even some sympathetic bystanders were scared away. A dude who dislikes the old Xu Qiao noise, draws his sword and must chop it down. The folk customs of Beiliang have been sturdy since ancient times. It is those dudes whose hands may only be strong enough to untie the belt of the flower, but as long as the sword can be drawn, it is absolutely It means slashing and slashing, which makes many out-of-town dudes who are new to Beiliang very uncomfortable.

If the sword above Old Xu's head was cut down, there would be no such thing as His Royal Highness carrying Green Ant Wine today.

At that time, Xu Fengnian happened to be passing by. The horses were far more vigorous and arrogant than those third-rate dudes. He didn't want to mix up the trouble with this stall, but was hooked by a heart-piercing sentence from Old Xu. "I’m not interrupted by Xichu’s gang of tortoise sons, but he was crippled by his own people. My god, your mother is as blind as me!"

Xu Fengnian didn’t say anything, but let the evil slaves disperse the gangsters. As for the pampered sons, who broke the arms and legs, wherever he can manage, he will drag his family to the palace if he has the ability. Ask Xu Xiao for money compensation? It is best to take the imperial edict.

Lao Xu did not die in the back. He was taken to heal his legs and feet for no apparent reason, but the impulse of the horseshoe stabbing, no matter how old an old guy’s leg could bear, was completely broken, and he was going to sit in the blind Lao Xu. While waiting for his death in the hut by the river, someone from the official office suddenly said that he would be given a couple of silver a month. After half a year, Old Xu had the courage to ask the adult. The adult said that it belonged to the Northern Liang Army. New rules, treat elders kindly. Later, Lao Xu asked a similarly half-dead Lao Paoze, and learned that this was true, but they all needed to go to the Yamen to collect money.

Old Xu was wondering, good people are rewarded? But no matter how we look at it, I'm not a good person. When I was young, I didn't follow Dazhuguo.

Old Xu broke his leg, but he could barely walk on his homemade crutches. The hut was repaired by the official of the Yamen, and he would send a thick quilt every year before the winter, and the vegetable garden was old. Xu managed to make do, a couple of silver is a thousand wen, old Xu does not have a sloppy mouth, and at the end of the month, he can buy some meat wine with his spare money. The small days have a good time. Now it takes more time to wait for death than when he broke his leg. Cozy a hundred times.

Today, Lao Xu was dozing off on a wooden pier outside the house, and heard a loud voice shouting: "Lao Xu, Lao Xu, drink, and touched you a duck in the river by the way. That's called a fat."

The blind old Xu refreshed, and the kid surnamed Xu came. This kid had been acquainted four or five years ago. It is said that he climbed the wall to watch the Huanghua girl take a bath and was arrested. He was chased by the river and hid in Lao Xu’s hut. The blind old Xu knows that Lanting Jiulu Xiaojiabiyu's lovely person in Xu Xiaozi's mouth. Although he can't see it, he has good ears. He can always hear some wild men gather together and covet and mutter, nothing more than that little girl. The **** have become heavier over the years, the round face has been sharpened again, and the beauty of the embryo has become more and more attractive. Old Xu went to Jiulu to buy the lees and smelled the fragrance of Nizi's body. It smells good, and it is comparable to Lanting’s signature green plum wine.

Xu Xiaozi was beaten and beaten for her back then, not wronged! If our old Xu is a few dozen years younger, where will he get Xiaozi to climb the wall? It's almost the same to him.

"The pot is in the same place in the house, pluck the ducks, remember not to throw them into the river, be careful when you walk with your front foot, my back foot hut will be torn down." Old Xu took the hip flask, sniffed, contented He smiled and said: "This green ant is not as good as the green plums of Lanting Jiulong, but it is still much stronger than the lees."

The customer stuffed the duck with its broken neck into the arms of the blind old Xu, and said in a bad mood: "I have to do it if I pull the hair? I will boil the water."

Old Xu had wine in his hand, so he could talk, and leaned on a cane to pluck the duck.

Not long afterwards, the scent filled the hut. Old Xu gnawed on a greasy duck leg and asked with a smile: "Xu boy, I haven't seen you for more than a year. Either you guy has been missing for three years or news one. What do you do for a living? Listen to Old Xu’s advice, but don’t hurt your senses. It’s okay to peek at the girl’s bathing. Anyway, the girl doesn’t lose a piece of meat. This, you kid probably wouldn't listen to persuasion, knowing that you can't drink your wine for nothing, talk about it, what you want to hear this time, Old Xu can't say how many times he is at this age, but how much he can say."

The man gnawed duck meat and smiled: "Tell me about Liaodong, but I think my ancestor is over there, it's Jinzhou."

It's naturally His Royal Highness Xu Fengnian who can be so boring to wander around.

The blind old Xu haha ​​laughed and said: "I will be unfamiliar with Jinzhou? The whole Liaodong has the same virtue. Don't look at the ten governors, nine out of them are crying out to the imperial court for poverty. In fact, they are not poor at all. We are the only poor. If there is no field, it is only a matter of rebellion."

Xu Fengnian frowned and asked: "According to the law, not every soldier has 40 acres of farmland? The east of Liaoning is a well-deserved and dangerous land in my dynasty. There is no limit to the courts, so in Liaodong, the Central Plains will remain intact, the Liao and the wild will be disturbed, and the world will be mingled with golden drums. Rebellion? Haven't heard the slightest commotion in Liaodong in these years."

Old Xu sneered: "Xu Xiaozi, you know what a fart. I don’t understand you, I don’t understand what you are. From which scholar did you hear it? I only know that when I left Liaodong, Liaodong Tunwei Twenty-one, there are only six guards in the west of Liaoning. Not to mention the west of Liaoning. The twenty-one guards of the east of Liaoning collect a million shi in a year. How many stones fall in the pockets of us? Xiaozi Xu, don’t talk about the governor of Liaodong. Guarding the governor, the governor’s acquaintances, and commanding lieutenants, these are some seven- and eight-rank officials, all of whom are engaged in private service to transform the army to select channels. Now, where did the silver go to honor the upper side? Dazhu Kingdom was in Quan Liao, which was a rare blessing for the people of Liao. Once Dazhu Kingdom left, who was responsible for the death and life of the soldiers, many frontier troops were originally sent to the east of Liaoning. Sinful, who wants to live in the bitter cold land of Liaodong? Once there, who would really think that there is land and grain, I am a Jinzhou native and have no land, these outsiders, even more thoughtless."

Xu Feng laughed young and said: "This can't be countered~IndoMTL.com~Liaodong is poor and used to suffering. As long as there is half a meal, no one is willing to rise up."

Old Xu sighed, "If you don't really want to starve to death, who would be happy to die, but if this continues, Liaodong is really hard to say. I have left Jinzhou for nearly 30 years, and I have endured it for 30 years." /

Liaodong has been a field of battle since ancient times. The safety of the world is always the two Liao Dynasty, Xu Xiaojian said that he would guard it with all the power of the world, but few people in the ruling and the opposition are willing to take it seriously. This is not to say that no one can see what is at stake, but that the situation in the world is temporarily set. How will it be ups and downs in 50 years and a hundred years from now? What benefits will you say and do for your current official position?

Xu Feng said in a young voice: "Old Xu, you can talk more about the customs of Liaodong."

Old Xu said, pour beans in bamboo tubes, and wait until a pot of stewed duck is eaten completely. Old Xu is also exhausted enough, but most of his energy is used to deal with duck meat.

Lao Xu wiped his mouth at the end and said: "Dazhu Kingdom entered Beiliang back then, it was really majestic, what does the princess have a poem to say?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "Qingniu Road gets on the train, and the children under his banner hold mulberries."

Old Xu leaned on crutches with a look of fascination.

Xu Fengnian left the hip flask and quietly walked out of the hut.

Blue Bird stood in the distance, watching His Royal Highness Shizi slowly approaching. Every time she came to the hut by the river, she was accompanied by her, and she never asked why her Highness had to deal with a blind old man.

Xu Fengnian's eyes were a little dazed when seeing the cold face of Blue Bird.

Back then, the blind old Xu was in the Qiancheng team, and his leg hadn't broken yet.

The child held the mulberry and raised his head to ask his mother if it was delicious.

The blue bird was a little bewildered, Xu Fengnian took a bite of her cheek suddenly, and laughed: "It's delicious, it smells like mulberries." My QT room was opened! The official QT room number [1655] of the princes of the beacon play, click to enter
