Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The brilliance of the rising sun casts a layer of light on Tokyo, and the gentle sunlight penetrates the mist of early winter and sprinkles on the scenery of all things. The brass bell on the temple tower swayed from side to side during the knocking, and the golden color had a metallic luster.

On the streets by the Bianshui River, besides the city residents, sergeants are common these days. After the township army was rested, they were summoned to Tokyo to build up one after another. They will go north to the Hebei front line in the near future.

The Zhang family brothers were also wandering the streets with groups of soldiers. They were wearing military uniforms issued by the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and they didn't bring weapons. They just went into the city to see the excitement.

"Spring and summer are more beautiful, and now the flowers and willows are all tuned." A soldier said.

But in Zhang Dayan's eyes, the present is also beautiful. Curved rivers, cool brick floors, tall and straight seven-level pagodas, pavilions, and pavilions can be seen everywhere, including beautiful pavilions and majestic inner city towers in the mist. The weather is a bit cold, but there are still a lot of people here. The bustle of traffic is more lively than the festival... Compared with the dilapidated and scarce village, Tokyo seems to be in another world in the sky.

Even the fallen leaves on the ground, Zhang Da was reluctant to step on them with his boots. The road was very clean and the leaves were not soiled.

This is not the first time he has been in Tokyo. He came here many years ago and was very impressed. The feeling was completely different from this time... At that time, he was wearing ragged clothes and was dirty all over.

But it's different now, Zhang Da and the others can look around with their heads held high and their chests held high, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the imperial capital to their heart's content. No one would look down on them. In fact, they quickly got used to being looked at in awe by the people. In this era, warriors are special existences.

And the generals above kept telling them: Brothers are from the official family! Brothers defend the official family, the city of Tokyo and the whole world belong to the official family.

Zhang Da said nonchalantly: "It's a bit hard and scary to be in the battle, but I think it's good to be in the army..."

At this time, the crisp and beautiful sound of the pipa came from the small building by the Bianshui River, and several men couldn't help but stop and listen, with intoxicated expressions on their faces. Everyone doesn't know the rhythm, but the nice voice can still be heard.

A window on the upper floor was opened, and a girl holding a handkerchief smiled coquettishly, "Masters, come in to relieve your fatigue. There will be good wine and beauties to accompany you. Feel free to touch..."

Zhang Laosan and other bachelors were immediately teased|tickled, they stretched their necks to peek inside, curious about what was inside.

Another person said: "The superiors said that the army can't help drinking and visiting kilns these days, everyone can relax and have fun."

Zhang Dao: "I took home all the rewards I sent out last time."

Just now the man said again: "Let's go to war right now, the royal family wants to pay a settling fee, let's go back to General Yu Shi to borrow some, change this tiger skin and come back, and pay him back the money."

Several people echoed excitedly. Zhang Dalang gave Zhang Laosan a hand, and said quietly: "My brother, don't come out for a while. No matter how much money you spend on that kiln sister, you can't get married. When you come back from Hebei, we will pay you to marry a daughter-in-law. It's a business. You can sleep every day without spending money!"

Zhang Laosan nodded vigorously: "Brother is right!"

...It's a pity that when everyone went back, they didn't find Yu Liang, the ten general, so they found Dutou. Dutou is also a hot-blooded young man, so he went to the brothel with everyone after hearing this.

Yu Liang went to Hongying's house, but he couldn't explain why he often wanted to go to Hongying's house. Hong Ying heard that he was going to make a northern expedition to Khitan, but in the evening he made a big table of good food and wine for him, and he was very enthusiastic today.

Hong Ying sat opposite, looked Yu Liang up and down, picked up the exquisite small wine cup, and said: "This cup of respect to Yu Shijiang is a hero, and the man is right to avenge the shame of the country and regain the lost land!"

Yu Liang puffed up his chest when he heard this, and took a glass of wine in a grand manner.

Unexpectedly, after drinking, Hong Ying couldn't help but said: "Although Yu Lang is a little tanned, he still looks handsome and tender. Those Khitan people are all beasts and devils. People like you..."

After hearing this, Yu Liang was a little unhappy and said: "Is it true that a man can't be judged by his appearance? He is usually fierce and strong, but he bullies the weak and fears the hard, and he trembles in fright when he goes into battle. It's not like he hasn't seen it before! Hmph!"

After hearing this, Hongying said: "Yu Lang kills more Khitan people, I hate Khitan people the most!"

Yu Liang pretended to be bold and said: "After drinking the wine from Lady Hongying, I will reward you by killing more enemies in battle!"

Hongying smiled and said, "Yu Lang seems to speak differently this time."

Yu Liangdao: "Er Niang often said that I am mighty. I didn't think it before, but now I feel it deeply. In that battle, there was a rain of guns and arrows. Didn't I also survive..."

"Who is Er Niang?" Hongying asked with a half-smile.

Yu Liangzhi faltered and said: "Xu Erniang, who saved my life in Lingnan, only found out later that she is the maidservant next to Lu Lan, the court female physician... and she is also a poor person."

"Lu Lan?" Hongying pondered for a moment, looked at Yu Liang and said in a deep voice, "You have to hold on to this Erniang Xu."

Yu Liang said: "Why did Lady Hongying say that?"

Hong Ying rolled her eyes at him, shook her head and said, "Fortunately, you didn't take the imperial examination to be an official, so you don't understand such a simple matter? Lu Lan is someone close to His Majesty. I heard that Cao Bin's army was trapped by miasma in Lingnan. Thanks to Lu Lan, he came up with a good remedy. Do you think His Majesty would be grateful to her? Also, this woman is the adopted daughter of the privy envoy Wang Pu, who saved Wang Pu's life... Who are these people? Lu Lan's words may be more effective than you fighting ten times. Although Xu Erniang's status is low, But she can see Mrs. Lu, do you understand now?"

Yu Liangdao: "Xu Erniang treats me so well...how can I make good use of her?"

Hongyingyu said earnestly: "This is not taking advantage of you. She treats you well, and you treat her even better. Yu Lang listen to me once, how have I ever harmed you? Today I heard that Yu Liang is going to conquer Khitan in the north. I sincerely wish you well... I am now disabled and become like this, all thanks to the Khitan people!

If not, I wouldn't bother calling you. This is a coincidence, seemingly simple, but in fact has a lot to do. Maybe in the future, Yu Lang will really be able to enter the circle of generals of His Majesty's direct lineage, so why not worry about being surrounded by riches, honor and beauty? At that time, you are afraid that you will look down on me, a disabled woman. "

After hearing this, Yu Liang raised his head and drank all the wine in the sterling silver cup, sighing "ah".

Rubbing his hand on the rough and sturdy leather wristband, he turned his head to look at the room. The silk curtains were hanging down, the carved windows were closed tightly, and the red candles shone dimly. The rich furnishings, the invisible light, is full of soft atmosphere, and the gentle township is nothing more than that.

Yu Liang used to be very angry with Hongying, but now he doesn't remember hating her at all. The entanglement between men and women seems to be like this. I can't afford to hate, but I can't get into my heart, entangled and unclear.

Yu Liang drank one cup after another, and because the cup was too small, he picked up the jug and took a big gulp.

"Don't look unhappy. It's not easy to have a good time before the expedition. The north is a place of bitter cold." Hongying persuaded softly, and called the maidservant to come over with a pipa, "I'll sing you a tune and drink slowly. Tonight I will accompany Yu Lang all night."

Yu Liang squinted his drunken eyes, looked at Hongying's beautiful eyes and red lips, and gradually became a little obsessed.

... A few days later, rows of infantrymen who were purged at the gates of the outer city of Tokyo marched out of the city one after another. There are many people on the side of the road watching, and it is very lively early in the morning.

A young man riding on a horse has a red rouge lip mark on his face, but he doesn't know it. He seemed to be nostalgic for the joy of last night, and he was intoxicated while riding on the horse.

At this time, a brightly dressed woman wiped her tears, waved her hands and choked with sobs and said, "General, do you still remember Bi'er from the drunk red building when you come back?"

The woman's attire was a bit gaudy, and she felt embarrassed when she saw that she was doing that. As soon as he came out, people immediately noticed the lip marks on his face, and the people burst into laughter. The soldiers couldn't help but smile too.

Dutou blushed, and then sang loudly and heartily: "The luminous cup of grape wine, if you want to drink the pipa, call it immediately. Jun Moxiao, who is drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times."

At this moment, a young lady shouted with joy, "Yu Lang!"

Yu Liang, who was riding in front of a group of infantry, heard the sound, hurriedly rode away from the group, jumped off the horse, and led the horse to Xiaoniang: "Why is Erniang here?"

Xu Erniang blushed and stood there: "I'm here to see you off."

Yu Liang looked down at her face and said: "Yesterday I wanted to say goodbye to you, and now I asked outside the old mansion of Guo. You said that you would occasionally go there with Mrs. Lu to pick medicinal materials, but if you were not here, I guessed that you were in the palace. I am a ten general, but I can't see people in the palace."

Xu Erniang was silent for a while, her eyes turned red, and she shed a few tears.

Yu Liang stretched out his hand and wiped her tears with his thumb. Xu Erniang's body trembled suddenly, but she didn't escape.

Xu Erniang choked up and said, "I'm very worried about you, afraid of you..."

Yu Liangdao: "It is my duty to raise soldiers and use them for a thousand days." He said again in a deep voice, "I went to battle to kill the enemy and avenge your former Zhao Hu. When I come back, you won't feel sorry for Zhao Hu; the dead cannot be resurrected, and the living still have to let go."

Xu Erniang cried even more after hearing this.

At this moment, a general on the side of the road turned his head and smiled, and sang in a long voice: "Hey, Cai Shuiqing, Bian Shui Liu, my lover is on the shore..."

All the soldiers laughed "haha".

Yu Liang hurriedly said: "Er Niang, let's go back first, I have to catch up with the horses, there will be too many people and it will be hard to find."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and got on the horse, kicked the horse and turned back while walking, seeing Xu Erniang looking at him eagerly, Yu Liang was also a little bit reluctant to part. Behind Xiaoniang are the Tokyo city tower and the bustling cityscape, looming in the early morning mist.

Goodbye, the bustling city that dances and dances like a brocade. Yu Liang turned his head, and in front of him was a post road with no end, and a long dragon with gold and iron horses, and the distance of the long road was the beacon fire. \u003c
