Chapter 203 Sincerity is both brave and powerful

8days ago Historical fiction 7
Zhang Ning led hundreds of people to give up Shimen County and Cili County, and walked back to Fengxia Mountain on the north bank of the Lishui River to trek back to Fengxia Mountain.

The road was very difficult to walk, and finally bypassed the attack range of Yongding Guards and successfully returned to the deep mountains.

The warehouses in the two counties have been looted by them, and the wealthy and wealthy households are forced to take out some of their property to reward the army.

Zhang Ning harvested a lot of silver ingots, forgings, silk, silk cotton, sulfur and other things, but the food could not be taken away due to insufficient road transportation capacity.

When Zhang Ning learned that the Miao people in Larshan raised an army, he had the idea of ​​giving up occupying the two counties of Cili in Shimen. He could temporarily attract the firepower of officers and soldiers to the southern Miaojiang and reduce the difficulty of seizing Yongding Guard.

Later, another news came from the Shuitangao Stone Field, which was leaked by an undercover eunuch in the court. The Ministry of War had sent Zhu Yong as the deputy general of the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the general of Wuling to the southwest to quell the rebellion.

When he learned that Zhu Yong was the son of the famous general Zhu Neng, it showed that the court attached great importance to it and the people who came were not good at it. Zhang Ning no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the retreat to avoid his edge.

So the two teams of soldiers and hundreds of men, women, young and old, from the Dashengzhai Branch went on a long journey and ran away on the mountain road.

Zhang Ning didn't think it was embarrassing to escape and avoid danger. If Taizu had fought with the Yuan army and other anti-Yuan gangs every time, he might have accomplished great things.

It started to rain lightly on Fengxia Mountain, but as soon as everyone came back, Zhang Ning ordered a house to be requisitioned at the entrance of the village and immediately paid military salaries, silver rewards and pensions.

Because he hopes that the soldiers who have fought bloody battles will not have to go home empty-handed.

The drizzle cannot stop the soldiers from getting money. In addition to having feelings, people are also seeking profit. Men understand what it is like to go home with rich wealth. The wives will be extra considerate and enthusiastic, and the neighbors will be very envious. They can be said to be as refreshing as returning home in glory.

The road was soon filled with people, and the soldiers' families also rushed to the scene with umbrellas and bamboo baskets, because they heard that the people in charge of finance would use silk cloth to pay for some of the silver. It was raining again, and people were afraid that wet the things and affect the quality.

Wei Bin's first brigade of left scepter gained the most, because as the main combat force that captured the two counties, the credit was directly linked to interests, and the extra reward was thirty taels; the officers above the general flag were fifty taels.

In the eyes of ordinary people, thirty taels can be considered a huge sum of money. If the people who are responsible have such a fortune, they can ensure that they can live a very comfortable life for many years.

Zhang Ning also stood outside the house where the money was paid with interest and felt the joy of people. Thirty or even three thousand taels were not very important to him, but this did not affect his sharing of surprises and excitement from others.

The guards came over to hold an umbrella for him, but Zhang Ning saw that the soldiers and many villagers were queuing in the rain, so he refused the guards' kindness and stood in the rain with everyone.

A soldier and his wife who had just received more than 30 taels of wealth and property passed by Zhang Ning, and hurriedly fell down in the mud and said gratefully: Thank you for your generous reward.

Zhang Ning stepped forward and helped the soldier up and said kindly: You don’t have to thank me, these things were fought with your life and blood.

When people heard the prince speak, they looked at each other.

Zhang Ning raised his hand and shouted: The court believes that we are sinners, but we are not guilty.Here we have our own country, sharing all, victory and wealth together.

After hearing this, the soldiers shouted long live, and the atmosphere was very warm and cheerful.

Although the weather is not good today, it does not affect the atmosphere of the festival, and it is a very pleasant day.

Zhang Ning stood in the rain for a while before leaving. He was about to meet Yao Ji first.

Walking along the road in the middle of the village, he saw the villagers opening the door and staring at him. Before leaving Fengxia Mountain, the master of the branch was standing by the roadside and bowing to him.

The rain on the road adds a bit of melancholy to the festive atmosphere. The scene of light rain is always not as bright as the sun.

His hat and shoulders were soaked in rain, and there were fine water droplets on his clothes. The chill was not bad, and it made people quiet.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the courtyard behind the temple, a sound of a guzheng suddenly came.

Zhang Ning's musical art cells are not rich and he lacks sensitivity to music. At first, he didn't care and continued to walk in with Xu Wenjun.

When he walked under the eaves, his steps gradually slowed down and his eyes became brighter.

The rain curtain in the yard was trembling with the rhythm, and it was hard to believe such a scene. Zhang Ning did not think it was his imagination, as if he really saw them trembling and dancing.

He looked back at Xu Wenjun and wanted to ask if she heard or not, but for a moment he could not speak, for fear that he would destroy such artistic conception as soon as he spoke.

When Wenjun saw him turn around, he also looked over, and the two looked at each other.

The sad melody echoed in the rain, but the desolation was not as sad as sorrow, and its feeling felt extremely grand and grand; Zhang Ning was absolutely sure that those who had never heard of the Zhongzhao music played at the Emperor's Ceremony would definitely not play this grand tone; so the person who played this song must be Yao Ji, and there was no other person here.

It is so sad that it is heartbreaking; it gives this sadness hope and meaning, filling it with beauty.

Gradually, the melody gradually became low and quiet; it suddenly stirred up like the clanging sound of the iron soldiers of thousands of horses...

Zhang Ning naturally remembered a word from Chu Ci in his mind: Fucking Wu Gexi was fucked by rhinoceros armor, and the car was in a turtle and was short-lived.

The flags cover the sun and the enemy is like clouds, and the arrows fall and the soldiers compete for the first place.

I am walking in the formation and walking, and I am slaying my left and my right blade is injured...

Sincerity is both brave and powerful, and ultimately strong and cannot be overwhelmed.

Since the body dies, the gods are spiritual, and the soul of the son is a ghost hero...

At the end of the song, the rhythm gradually stopped, and only the subtle rustling sound of drizzle falling on the treetops on the roof.

But the melody still echoed in Zhang Ning's mind and could not be removed.

He was stunned and shocked.

Perhaps because of his listening habits, a plain man like Zhang Ning always thought that modern music was better than ancient elegant music, but at this time his ideas had changed. Perhaps because of the slow spread of ancient times, many divine songs were lost.

He didn't know how he walked outside the door, so he reached out and tried it. The door was just a false cover and was pushed open by him half his arm wide.

The white-clothed servant inside turned around and saw that it was Zhang Ning and did not move.

Yao Ji also took her hand away from the piano surface, raised her head, and saw most of Zhang Ning's face behind the door.

One of his handsome faces had a quiet and serious expression, and a hint of sadness and pity.

Those who don’t know thought he was back from a defeat.

The door was already open, and Zhang Ning immediately walked into the room, and Xu Wenjun also put away his umbrella and followed in.

Zhang Ning was about to visit him and found that he was half a person tall with a long sword on his waist, so he took it down and turned around and handed it to Wen Jun behind him. The top of the scabbard touched the floor, and a wave of water droplets shook off from it, wetting the dry ground.

My son pays homage to my mother.Zhang Ning knelt in front of Yao Ji and bowed.

Yao Ji stood up and helped her up, and then ordered the servant to come and sit with a chair.

She sat back on her seat and said: Did you hear the song I played just now?Before you left last time, I mentioned that I wanted to write a "national anthem". I have been composing it for a long time, but I feel it is too sad and I am afraid it will be ominous. Let's talk about it before changing it.

Just the song just now is very good, but as military music, it doesn’t matter if it’s a little sad. The ancients said that the soldiers will win.We had already destroyed our country, and we had hundreds of thousands of troops in the "Jingnan Battle" and the country was destroyed and those who were killed were even more uncountable. Only when we had defeated or destroyed our country, can we understand the preciousness of victory.

Zhang Ning gradually got used to this way of talking, especially when others were around him.

Yao Ji has lived in seclusion in the mountains for so many years, but she still has not changed her dignified and decent words and deeds, as if she has become her habit.

But this does not mean that they do not have ordinary emotions, but are just concealing and suppressing; Zhang Ning is also used to such suppression and restraint.

Yao Ji said with apologies: I really can't forget those terrified days of exile and hiding... I originally wanted to write a more festive and grand song, but I couldn't write it...

After hearing this, Zhang Ning stood there for a while and felt distressed for a while, then turned around and said: Wenjun, what about the things I brought back, that box.

He got the box and put it on the piano table, and said: I brought some jewelry here back. I hope there is one of them that you can like... He gradually could not control his inner emotions and said, King Huayang lives in Lizhou. There is a royal palace in Lizhou, but the palace there is too narrow and not worthy of his mother... One day, I will lead my troops to capture a large palace and let you live in...

The attendants standing beside him couldn't help but look at Zhang Ning with strange eyes.

Yao Ji looked at his eyes for a long time, and she seemed to feel the turmoil in Zhang Ning's heart that was uncontrollable. After a long time, she said softly: I don't necessarily need a palace. You can be so filial to me... What I need is you... Yao Ji immediately closed her red lips and her face turned slightly red.

She didn't even look at the jewelry on the piano table. The box was open, and the colorful decoration inside was very beautiful, but she fell out of favor in front of a woman and didn't even get a look.

She is born a noble woman, and her ordinary life is not suitable for her.

In Zhang Ning's eyes, Yao Ji in front of her was no longer an elder, she seemed to be a goddess.With a beautiful face and perfect skin, she doesn't seem to be old.

After a brief silence, Yao Ji's gaze finally moved away from Zhang Ning's face and turned to look at the yard from the open door.

The small yard has no scenery, only a few trees. The classical house corridor looks pretty good to Zhang Ning, but in the eyes of the ancients, such a house could not be more ordinary.

Are you still used to living here? The place is really too small and you don’t go out to walk around.Zhang Ning asked hurriedly.

Yao Ji smiled slightly: It’s a very good place, it’s usually quiet, and occasionally there are chickens and dogs who can hear each other.
