There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 847|The seventy-fourth dragon scale (3)

The seventy-fourth dragon scale (3)

Xu Yuanji lived to be in his twenties. He followed the old general and the major general. For so many years of marching and fighting, the number of times he went out to hunt could be counted on his toes, but it was the first time he encountered such a stupid prey. ! What happened to the animals in this secret realm? Not afraid of people? Just pick it up and take it away without tying it up?

Some people go hunting, some people brush horses on the beach. The horses have been with them for many years. They have long been friends with hearts and minds. The journey is rough and bumpy. He also broke his leg. At this moment, Su Ji checked one by one, and Zhuge Shang took someone to clean the horses' fur with lake water. Obviously, the cool lake water was very comfortable for horses, and there were a few naughty horses. He also snorted and sprayed the owner with water all over his face.

Su Ji, who was examining them, couldn't escape either. He looked at the long gown that was clean and was now wet. out?"

The horses squeaked twice, probably just after a life-and-death chase. They also knew that their owners were more tolerant of them now, so they became more and more nonsense. When Su Ji checked them, what would happen to them? One is not cooperating with the other. Zhuge merchants bring people to clean up their fur, and then they will be slaughtered and slaughtered. They will make a literati and a doctor angry, but you can lose your temper, this horse Have become fine, know that you are not really angry.

Until Linglong comes over.

The originally arrogant horses instantly lowered their brows and fell to the ground. It was a command and an action. Su Jirang could do whatever he wanted. People can't believe it.

When Linglong approached, they became more obedient, looking at the posture, it was like seeing a natural enemy.

Su Jizheng was giving medicine to a jujube red horse. This guy was scratched on the belly. Fortunately, the internal organs were not injured, but there was a lot of blood. Trembling, couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, suddenly stopped making noise?"

It's good to be noisy, it means that you are still alive and kicking, it is better than lying still.

Zhuge Shang looked at Linglong in amazement, and then looked at the big horses, which were not good enough. You must know that their horses are all famous and good horses. They are very brave, even if they encounter a tiger or a lion. Scared, the powerful old horse can even kick the belly of the wolf! These horses are all battle-hardened, how could they be so frightened when they see this girl?

With Linglong on the side, the horses didn't dare to mess around, they were honestly washed and medicated, and then completely released!

They couldn't get out in the secret realm. Xu Chengbi took the lead and took down the saddle and let them stroll around in the secret realm. The grass here is much more delicious than the outside, tender and fragrant. The horses with dry rations were excited, and even started to swell at the back. They took a bite of the tender grass here, and then went to eat a small flower that had just sprout. Quick, it was almost eaten the day before, and it grew back the next day.

Xu Yuanji, Mao An and others also returned with a full load, and then began to clean up in full swing, removing the hair and peeling, setting up a pot to boil water, after escaping for so long, the birds faded out of their mouths, and they soaked in the water of the secret lake. The air is refreshing, and the stomach is so hungry that they can swallow it even if it is given to a cow!

Linglong was sitting on the big tree by the fire with her feet tossed. The little squirrel hugged the walnut beside her and bit her. Xu Yuanji is a straight man. The Linglong beckoned: "Little sister-in-law! I roasted a hare for you! My roasting rabbit skills are excellent!"

As soon as the little sister-in-law came out, a group of old men began to frantically applaud, scream and whistle. Xu Chengbi just came over with the fish in the back basket that had been cleaned up, and his face turned dark when he heard: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Linglong jumped down from the tree, the red skirt formed a beautiful arc in the air, she came over to pick up Xu Yuanji's roasted rabbit, took a bite, and commented: "It's really good."

Xu Yuanji grinned and opened his mouth with big white teeth, and then he said: "The fish grilled by our general is also a must! Sister-in-law, you can try it later!"

Xu Chengbi: "...Xu Yuanji!"

"To!"

"Shut up!"

"Yes!"

Linglong was amused by these two people, Xu Chengbi's heart was beating like thunder, but seeing that she didn't seem to dislike the name of the little sister-in-law, her heart was a little sweet, but it was quickly covered by bitterness. He has a deep blood feud and has broken his arm, how can he be worthy of such a little fairy? He only dragged Xu Yuanji to a place with few people, and told him not to talk nonsense any more, remember to call her Linglong girl, not a little sister-in-law.

Xu Yuanji honestly agreed, and then asked: "General, you have been living with your sister-in-law, Miss Linglong, for so long, such a beautiful girl, and with such aura, I have never seen such an eccentric girl. girl, the general really has no interest in her at all?"

Xu Chengbi was silent for a moment, then Fang said: "I am now disabled and adrift. I don't know how long I can live in the future, why bother to harm other girls? What's more, women's fame is important, you are in front of so many people. Calling her little sister-in-law in front of her is really bad for her, I'm not worthy of her."

If General Xu, who was high-spirited at the time, might have the courage to woo him, but when he is intact, he already has a marriage contract, even if he is in love, he will not be swayed. He has his responsibilities and obligations, and he will restrain his love meaning. But now that he has fallen to this point, he still doesn't know what to do in the future, and Xu Chengbi will not express his intentions. He said exactly what he thought, and he is not worthy.

Xu Yuanji stared blankly at his general. When the general was still a major general, he followed him. He had never seen such a look of loss on a general's face. The status is extraordinary, and I only hate good luck to make people, in the end it is not the right time.

So Xu Yuanji honestly apologized to Linglong, and Linglong said indifferently: "It's a trivial matter, I really want to apologize, and bake some more rabbits for me."

There has been no one in the secret realm for a long time, and Linglong is too lazy to eat it by herself. The animals in the whole secret realm are all tender and tender, and everyone who eats it is full of oil and shouts refreshingly, especially the one that Miss Linglong let people carry out. Two barrels of golden yellow wine with bubbles, what are they called... beer, yes, beer! It's so refreshing to eat grilled fish against grilled meat! So cool!

The secret realm was as warm as spring. After eating and drinking, everyone simply slept on the ground. Only Linglong, Xu Chengbi, and Su Ji and Zhuge Shang who were Wen Ya Ai Jie returned to the bamboo building together. There were still a few empty rooms on the first floor. It's clean, not even dust.

Everyone rested for several days in the secret realm. It was like a legendary paradise. It was really reluctant to leave, but they still had a lot of things to do and couldn't stay for too long.

In just ten days, the seriously injured men and horses were all jumping up and down. Not only that, the flesh and water in the secret realm completely dispelled the old wounds on their bodies. Xu Yuanji felt that he was full now. Strength, even more than when he was seventeen or eighteen!

Xu Chengbi led the crowd to say goodbye to Linglong in person. Linglong looked at him with a smile. When she was alone, she didn't even comb her hair. The long black hair was blown by the breeze. She had no evil thoughts, and she couldn't help but look crazy.

"Take it with you, it will help."

Xu Chengbi took the little squirrel pushed by the girl, with a blank face. The little squirrel held a half-bitten walnut, chirped at Linglong twice, and then rubbed Linglong's fingers with its big fluffy tail. With Xu Chengbi's left hand jumping all the way to his head, he sat arrogantly, Xu Chengbi was extremely helpless, and said to Linglong, "It's dangerous outside."

"It will help you, you can give it to do anything that humans can't do." Linglong teased the little squirrel, "Your strength is not enough, I don't know where to go next time I open the secret realm. When is the time, so it is best not to rely on the secret realm, and to avenge your own revenge yourself."

Xu Chengbi looked at her deeply: "Great kindness..."

The words were interrupted ruthlessly before he finished speaking: "Don't say anything that can't be repaid and wait for the next life to be tied with grass, I don't want your next life."

She waved her hand and turned around, the red skirt made her back more charming and warm, "Come back alive."

Xu Chengbi fixedly looked at the girl's back and gritted his teeth: "Let's go!"

This time, Xu Chengbi didn't come back for a long time, and Linglong didn't count the time. Roughly estimated, it's been more than a year, and I don't know if he is dead or alive.

Linglong wanted to go out to play, but she had already given the secret realm to Xu Chengbi. Naturally, wherever Xu Chengbi was, the secret realm would be there. If Linglong went out, she would appear beside Xu Chengbi out of thin air.

So the scene was a little awkward.

I saw a flash of golden light, and a beautiful girl in red suddenly appeared, causing the originally lively banquet to become silent in an instant, and the beauties who were dancing in the hall also stopped one after another, everyone looked at Linglong, and Linglong left and right Look, he recognized Xu Chengbi who was wearing a mask, and grabbed his sleeve happily: "Why are you wearing a mask?"

Xu Chengbi never dreamed that the person he had been missing for almost two years would suddenly appear beside him. He was still young and charming. Next to him was the Zhuge Merchant who also wore a mask. Seeing Xu Chengbi getting emotional, he quickly whispered: "Master, calm down."

"Dragon, Lord Long, this is..."

The question is a middle-aged man. He looks like a wealthy businessman. He is staring at Linglong with a coveted face. It was a beautiful woman who was holding him, but Xu Chengbi, who was sitting on the main seat, was bald. Apart from a few attendants, there was only Zhuge Shang.

Seeing the beauty who appeared out of thin air hid behind Lord Long, all the wealthy businessmen were a little bit eager to move. After all, compared with the girl in red, they were almost all vulgar fans in their arms.

"Do I need to answer you?" Xu Chengbi asked softly.

The middle-aged man was asked this by Xu Chengbi, and he seemed to realize what the occasion was and how dangerous this person was. Seeing that they invited the singer to drink and have fun, Long Ye didn't say anything, but forgot what kind of ruthless means this person was in front of him. Doing business with him is going to be peeled off.

Having sobered up most of the time now, she didn't dare to say any more, but Linglong sat down beside Xu Chengbi very familiarly, took the chopsticks in front of him, and started eating rudely.

The banquet quickly dissipated because of her appearance. Xu Chengbi was obviously not in the mood to entertain these wealthy merchants again, and asked Zhuge merchants to send them off. Then he hurried back to find Linglong. Linglong had just eaten a plate of cakes and saw him come in. He was still wearing a mask on his face, so he came over curiously to help him take it off. His slender fingers touched the cold mask. After taking it off, he found that Xu Chengbi was slightly thinner, but his eyes were brighter, as if a flame that would never go out was burning. .

Compared with the last meeting, he should have found a way to live.

"You seem a little haggard, haven't seen you for so long, are you in no danger?"

Xu Chengbi looked at her and replied, "It's not worth mentioning."

Danger is definitely there, and sometimes it's a close call, but there's never been a time when you need to enter a secret realm to preserve your last strength. Xu Chengbi would not allow himself to fall into such a situation again, he had nothing left and could no longer destroy the pure land in his heart.

"I heard what you said when you were drinking, what business are you doing?"

Xu Chengbi didn't hide Linglong either. The two sat down face to face. He told her, "Six months ago, I bought two iron mines. Both iron mines are owned by wealthy businessmen. Private mining is prohibited by the imperial court. He has a ghost in his heart, so he had to sell it to me, and Zhuge pushed the price hard, which is quite a bargain."

"The Xu family army is now in charge of Xu Shao. He joined the emperor, dismantled the Xu family army, and dispersed them into various military camps. My people have been secretly contacting them and are willing to go with us. Now they have almost all converged, so we don't We are still weak as we were two years ago. In addition, we are also doing grain and forage business in the border states. First, we used the security bureau as a cover, and darts in the open, secretly hoarding grain and grass, and then reselling it. , I do not want to provoke war, my Xu family has been loyal and good for generations, in order to protect the people of Daliang who died in battle, I will never deprive any of the people of Daliang.

He said it lightly, and everyone knew that it was definitely not as casual as his light-hearted words. It was difficult and dangerous. I was afraid that words could not express it. Linglong smiled: "Long Ye, eh? What are you? Is it time to change your surname to Long?"

She found out when she came in just now that not only did Xu Chengbi change his surname to dragon, but many of the iconic items in his study also had dragons engraved on them.

"The girl doesn't know something. When we set up the **** bureau, we were all thinking about what name we wanted to call, and we were arguing with Dr. Su. Mao An and Yuanji also had their own preferences. After the fight was over, the general said it was called the Golden Dragon Escort, and later we learned that the girl not only has the character Long in her name, but also her surname is Dragon."

Zhuge Merchant came back after sending off the merchants, and when he heard Linglong's questioning, he helped Xu Chengbi to answer: "Over time, people outside call the general as "Long Ye", and those in the security bureau are either called Ye Ye or Da Dang Jia, like Generals are called like this, and we only call them in private."

After speaking, she bowed to Linglong: "I haven't seen her for two years, but the girl is still as radiant and beautiful as ever."

Zhuge Shang really can talk, and he has a handsome face that is like a spring breeze, and he is generous with praise to Linglong. Who would hate such a good-looking person with a sweet mouth and a sincere heart?

Seeing that Linglong was chatting with Zhuge Shang, although Xu Chengbi was silent, the air pressure around his body was getting lower and lower. When Zhuge Shang saw the situation was not good, he quickly left, so as not to stay and be cleaned up by the general. He is just a weak scholar with no strength, the general should not let him do physical work, it will kill people!

All he needs to do is shake his fan, talk, and drink tea!

As soon as Zhuge Shang left, Su Ji heard about Linglong's appearance, and came to meet him. Next came Mao An and Xu Yuanji, and even the other soldiers who had entered the secret realm with him also rushed over and met one after another. Xu Chengbi Unable to bear it, he slammed the door of his study shut, and no one was allowed to enter.

"How did you get out of the secret realm? It's dangerous outside, when are you going back?"

"I'm not going back." Linglong said unhappily, "I'm tired of being there, so I want to go out for a walk. Why, you don't want to worry about me? Then I can go out and play by myself."

"No!" Xu Chengbi vetoed without thinking, "You can't go anywhere."

"Why?"

Xu Chengbi said earnestly: "Now the world is in chaos. After the Xu family army was disbanded, the emperor had great ambitions, but unfortunately, he overestimated himself."

Why does he think his seat is so firm?

Not because of the loyal Xu family from generation to generation! The Xu family holds heavy troops and never stands in line. They are unswerving royalists. If the emperor runs out of the Xu family first and controls the court firmly in his own hands before crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, it will not be so troublesome, but he is too impatient. Now, maybe Xu Chengbi was too dazzling, maybe Chang Shihua was too beautiful, or maybe he couldn't suppress his inner jealousy, so he shot ahead.

Because of this, when the Xu family fell, military power was quickly divided up, including the emperor's confidant, Duke Chuhe, and the Marquis of Huai'an, the father of the concubine Chang who was favored after entering the palace. A bite of the cake was torn off, and there were disputes among the clansmen, and each faction stalked and framed each other for their own interests, resulting in a smog. Even the harem was in a mess. Today the prince passed away, and tomorrow the concubine who was pregnant with a dragon child had a miscarriage... But the emperor couldn't find out anything. When Concubine Xu was still there, the harem was not like this.

When Xu Chengbi was still alive, he was not like this in the previous dynasty!

At that time, everyone was the emperor's sweetheart, and they were loyal and obedient to him.

The emperor can't figure it out.

The ministers in the DPRK and China are in their own camps. They only remember to bite, bite, and clamber. They are powerful and powerful, and naturally they are not afraid. The people who suffer are all the people.

In this case, the emperor wants everyone to work for him, just a dream!

He soon discovered that his orders were not obeyed, and that many people violated his decrees. What he wanted to do, it seemed that he could not do it. No matter what he asked, the ministers always had various reasons. Rejecting him, being a good emperor, is actually impossible in the court!

So he could only trust Duke Chuhe and Marquis of Huai'an more, but if these two were really pure-hearted, they wouldn't watch the Xu family, who has been loyal and good for generations, be beheaded by raiding. The mansion of the Marquis of Huai'an was known only because of his in-laws with the Xu family. Now that Concubine Chang entered the palace and won the favor, the Marquis of Huai'an became the head of the state, and the emperor trusted him very much. The existence of the Marquis of Huai'an also seriously threatened the position of Duke Chuhe in the emperor's heart. The two fought openly and secretly, and Concubine Chang naturally wanted to help her father. Duke Chuhe tried every means to collect stunning beauties from the people and dedicate them to the emperor. Beauty, the same flowers will make you tired after looking at them for a long time, right?

In short, the DPRK is a chaotic group of demons dancing wildly, the upper and the lower are effective, and the officials below will naturally not be good officials. Xu Chengbi took this opportunity to quickly set up the Golden Dragon Escort Bureau. Perhaps the affairs of the DPRK are too difficult. Many fewer people were sent to hunt down Xu Chengbi, and there has been no news for the past six months.

In addition, perhaps he betrayed Xu Chengbi's fear and guilty conscience, which made Xu Shao, who has now replaced Xu Chengbi as a general, pay special attention to military power among his opponents. He was afraid that Xu Chengbi was still alive, and that Xu Chengbi would seek revenge for himself, because he was still secretly Track down Xu Chengbi's whereabouts.

These are the people who made the court a mess.

According to the report of the spies in the capital, maybe no matter how hard you try, you can't change the status quo.

Recalling how high-spirited he was at the time, he killed Xu Chengbi, and he was full of passion to be an emperor through the ages. Who would have known that within three years, his lofty ambitions had already vanished.

I heard that now the most favored person is a folk beauty dedicated to the emperor by the Duke of Chuhe. She has the appearance of sinking fish and falling geese, and the appearance of closing the moon and embarrassing flowers. The favored concubine Chang gradually fell out of favor, which is really embarrassing.

After listening, Linglong suddenly asked Xu Chengbi, "Are these days getting hotter and hotter?"

Xu Chengbi was taken aback.

The Golden Dragon Escort is located in the southwest of Daliang. The climate here is very humid. Now it is summer, and it is indeed very hot, but in previous years, it has not been so exaggerated. There is a difference, because the growth of his herbs is much slower.

"It will be even hotter in the future." Linglong seemed to be talking about how nice the weather is today, with a flat tone, "The earth will dry up and crack, and the people will be left with nothing, starving everywhere, and dead bodies everywhere."

Xu Chengbi always knew that she was not a mortal person, and the words that came out of her mouth made his heart shudder.

The drought!

The last major drought in Daliang was twenty years ago! At that time, he was still young, and he still heard from his father that many families could not afford food, so they could only sell their sons and daughters. Later, even their sons and daughters were able to eat. There were many refugees, and many places refused to open their warehouses for relief. The refugees rebelled one after another. , Many court officials died.

If so...
