Humane Yongchang

Chapter 20 The Splendid Country and the Thousand Miles of Drywood

Chen Sheng met Xiang Liang in a remote residential house in Nancheng.

The house is not luxurious, but rather dilapidated. The courtyard is full of moss and withered grass. At a glance, you can see that there are few people living in this courtyard.

When he came, the yard was crowded with strong men in strong suits, all with long blades around their waists, and a look of indifference that no strangers should enter, even those who knew Chen Hu, met Chen Hu. They just nodded slightly.

"Hahaha, the nephew is finally here!"

When I heard that Chen Sheng came, a dignified middle-aged man with an oddly large skeleton, a face like a heavy jujube, a beautiful beard and a chest, only wearing underwear and disheveled, ran out of the inner hall with bare feet and quickly to greet him.

No need to introduce anyone, just by looking at this posture, Chen Sheng knew that the person who came was Xiang Liang, the protagonist of today, and quickly took the initiative to meet him, grabbing the person's arm: "My nephew is a junior, how dare you to greet him!"

Xiang Liang glanced vaguely at Chen Hu, who was standing behind Chen Sheng with his head turned upside down, grabbed Chen Sheng, took his arm, and pulled him to the inner hall: "Hey, I've heard of it long ago. The nephew of the world is not very neat, the general sighs and sighs every day in the army, and even the uncle of the world is also worried, and now seeing the nephew Kangtai as usual, the uncle of the world is too happy, and there is no difference between the elders and the younger."

"Good boy, sit down quickly and tell Uncle Shi, how is your body and bones lately, but what's wrong with you?"

He forcibly pressed Chen Sheng onto the mat next to the main seat of the inner hall: "Shibo's family recognizes many famous doctors, even if Shibo came, he is Luoyi's imperial doctor, Shibo will definitely find a way to invite Shibo!"

"The nephew is not up to his expectations, and he implicates his uncle and uncle Shi."

Chen Sheng was faceless, like his uncle and nephew, and bowed to Xiang Liang with a smile: "I also ask Shishu to be relieved. Now that my nephew's body and bones are much neater, there is no longer any worries about illness."

"That's fine, that's fine!"

Xiang Liang stroked his beard gratified and laughed: "In this way, the general can also command the army with peace of mind in the army!"

"correct!"

Having said this, he turned his head and shouted to the outside of the hall: "Someone, please bring up the general's sword!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in a brown coat walked quickly with a long jujube box in both hands, walking to Chen Sheng's side and bowing to greet him.

Chen Sheng glanced at it: "Uncle Shi, this is..."

Xiang Liang stroked his beard and said, "The general is worried that his nephew has been ill for a long time, and he is often bedridden, so he specially went to consult several high-ranking scholars in Youzhou. The only way to resolve it is to use the soldiers of the shackles to suppress the qi of the nephew to save the catastrophe, this time the uncle is disarmed and returned to the field, the general specially entrusted this sword to me, and ordered me to hand it over to the nephew."

He stretched out his hand to open the jujube box, and with his precious and heavy hands he took out a simple, heavy and square bronze sword with a sheath, and handed it to Chen Shengdao: "This sword is called 'Sharp Picking', and it is your uncle and grandfather who spent a lot of money. Ask a famous craftsman to cast the army for the general. The general has been in the army for [-] years, and the sword has not left his body. It is useless to kill demons with this sword. Don't let this sword be let down!"

Chen Sheng instinctively took over the bronze sword, but was almost crushed by the bronze sword and fell to the ground. Only then did he realize that this sword not only looked heavy, but actually weighed, and it was about forty or fifty pounds. I don't know what metals are mixed in.

Then, when I heard Xiang Liang's words, I suddenly felt that the sword in my hand was hot.

The sword that has not been separated for 20 years, this feeling alone is hard to measure with money...

But after thousands of miles away, he just wanted to shirk, but there was no chance.

He could only feel a little heavy, but he put away the bronze sword and put it in the jujube box: "Nephew, I'm really ashamed of my uncle!"

"That's a bad word!"

Xiang Liang was very pleased: "In the eyes of the general, the peaceful growth of the nephew is far more important than this dead thing!"

Chen Sheng nodded helplessly and said, "I can only greet my uncle in the future when I will greet him and thank him."

Xiang Liang nodded happily and said: "Very good, very good...Speaking of which, Uncle Shi's family also has two nephews who are as old as the nephew. Uncle Shi has been away for 12 years, and I don't know if they still recognize Shishu. uncle!"

Chen Sheng said with a smile: "Uncle Shi is worrying too much, like a hero like Uncle Shi, even if he is not at home, someone must always mention Uncle Shi's name, my two brothers, even if they can't remember the face of Uncle Shi, they can't remember him. Know the heroic deeds of Uncle Shi in Northern Xinjiang!"

Xiang Liang Dayue stroked his beard and said, "Reasonable, reasonable, hahaha..."

Loud laughter, like a subwoofer, made the beams rust.

Looking at his state and his age, Chen Sheng hesitated again and again, but still couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Uncle Shi, please forgive my nephew for taking the liberty, my little nephew looks at Uncle Shi, at the height of the Spring and Autumn Period, when we are overcoming all obstacles. , Create a new peak, why do you disarm and return to the field at this time... Uncle Shi forgives his sins, the little nephew has no other intentions, but is worried about what happened to the uncle Shi's family, and the little nephew's family is somewhat familiar in Chen County. Knowing the way, if there is a place where the younger nephew can help, Shishu must not be polite to the younger nephew! On the way here, my second uncle repeatedly told the younger nephew, saying that my uncle went north to join the service of Shishu, and Shishu took care of him. Plus, it’s not a family, it’s better than a family, so the little nephew must never treat Uncle Shi as an outsider.”

Although Xiang Liang has a big beard, this is just his personal style and has nothing to do with age.

Looking at his appearance, Chen Sheng estimated that he was about 35 years old.

"Oh?"

Xiang Liang's face seemed to soften a lot when he heard the words. He turned his head with a smile and shouted, "How about Tiger Chen, if you don't get in here, what kind of idiot is Duke Yu Nai!"

Chen Sheng looked up in amazement, and saw Chen Hu walking into the door dawdlingly, with his face pouted, he reluctantly said to Xiang Liang, "I have seen the team leader under the mark."

"Ok?"

Chen Sheng's amazed eyes wandered between the two. There is a story between these two greasy middle-aged men!
"I'm afraid you don't know yet, nephew?"

Xiang Liang turned his face to Chen Sheng with a smile and said, "In those days, Uncle Shi and Tiger Chen were the same soldiers, and Tiger Chen died two years earlier than Uncle Shi. Back then, this fellow didn't act like a pawn with Uncle Shi, but he didn't. Cheng Xiang, in the end, was robbed by Uncle Shi of the team leader position, just for this stupid thing, this fellow unloaded his armor in a fit of anger, I have seen Uncle Shi for so many years, but I have never given Uncle Shi a good face!"

"You still have the face to say?"

Chen Hu said angrily: "Back then, it was clear that Lao Tzu's Ge first stabbed into the heart of the demon slave nobleman, and your sword cut off his head later, but in the end it taught you to become the leader of the team. Don't say that this matter has only passed ten years ago. Years, even ten or twenty years later, I will not accept it!"

Xiang Liang looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Do you still think that it was because of the head of the demon slave noble that Nai Gong was able to snatch the leader of the team that you regarded as something in your pocket?"

Chen Hu cocked his neck: "Why else? In terms of military age, when I was old, you were just a new pawn. In terms of military exploits, there is no one who can match Lao Tzu at full rate!"

"Why did you come later?"

Chen Sheng hugged the sword box and happily hid to watch the play.

Such an old drama is rare.

Xiang Liang stared at him and said incredulously, "In those days, you were punished for drinking alcohol in the army, and you beat up a hundred generals with black hands, right?"

Chen Hu was stunned for a while, and said: "How do you know?"

Xiang Liang said speechlessly: "Baijian slapped you with the whip on the front foot, and was pressed into the urinal and beaten by the back foot when patrolling the night. This kind of thing, just your dog's brain would think that other people don't know... If it wasn't for it back then The general came out behind his back to protect you, and you still want to disarm and return to the field? Die on the grassland!"

Holy crap, Lord Tiger pissing!
Chen Sheng stared at Chen Hu who was in the hall, and there were countless alpacas rushing past happily in his heart... Is this something that a human can do?

"This this this..."

Chen Hu's face was flushed, and he squirmed his lips for a while before spit out a sentence: "Why didn't you say it back then?"

"Why say it?"

Xiang Liang looked at him angrily: "Speaking of which, are you going to beat up Bai Jiang again?"

When Chen Sheng heard this, he almost laughed out loud... As far as Chen Hu's dog temper is concerned, he can really do such a thing!

Chen Hu was at a loss for words, and he babbled for several breaths, but he couldn't utter a single word.

When Xiang Liang saw this, he waved his hand and said, "But for the sake of your teaching Nai Gong Shi's nephew well, Nai Gong won't care about you old guy, get out!"

"Grandma!"

Chen Hu couldn't hold his face anymore, so he simply had no shame: "If you say a thousand words and ten thousand, it is also your kid who robbed Lao Tzu of the team leader position. If it weren't for you, Lao Tzu would be a military marquis now!"

Xiang Liang didn't even bother to look at him: "Bum, it's annoying to see you old guy!"

"Go away!"

Chen Hu snorted coldly, turned around and swaggered out of the hall, as if he was the winner.

After he stepped out of the inner hall, Chen Shengcai couldn't help laughing: "Uncle Shi, our two families are really fateful!"

Xiang Liang stroked his beard and said, "It's natural. You called Nai Gong Shi Shu, and Nai Gong will be your Shi Shi for the rest of your life!"

"Uncle Shi removes his armor for..."

Chen Sheng held back his smile and asked seriously.

He really wanted to help.

Invest in peaches and repay them with li.

This is the long-term way to communicate with people.

Xiang Liang pondered for a long time before he sighed softly and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid this world will be in chaos..."

Chen Sheng frowned slightly, and then said as usual: "Uncle Shi, where did you start?"

Xiang Liang glanced at him admiringly, and admired how calm he was when he heard such shocking remarks. Even if you are not old, you are indeed a dragon and a phoenix among people... Anyway, these words, Uncle Shi told you to listen, the words come out of my mouth and enter your ears, and you have the right to have never heard of this door. "

Chen Sheng nodded: "Uncle Shi is at ease, little nephew saves it."

Xiang Liang nodded and said, "My Xiang family in Xiang County is also a member of the Ji clan, so I know some things about the royal family... Kyushu Ding, I'm afraid it's going to be overwhelmed."

"However, there are demons who drive away the dogs and tigers, and there are severe droughts in Lianzhou and starvation everywhere."

"At the moment when the building is about to fall, the imperial court not only does not want to take lightly on the poor, and rest in peace with the people, but instead intensifies the use of military force and extravagance!"

"Today, 30 people will be recruited to build the Great Wall!"

"Tomorrow 30 people will be recruited to build the emperor's mausoleum!"

"In the future, 30 people will be recruited to conquer Baiyue..."

"How many people are in the world?"

"Uncle Shiguan, the splendid mountains and rivers, are like dry wood for thousands of miles. With just a little spark, it will turn into flames burning the city..."

He said these words to Chen Sheng, perhaps to remind Chen Sheng to pay attention to the current situation.

After all, the Chen Xiang family is a family friend, and they are from the same county. If the Chen family does not fall, the Xiang family has a strong support.

However, after these words came out of his mouth, his tone was indescribable sighing and anguish.

But also, this world, after all, is the world of their Ji people.

But he, the side branch of the Ji family, can only watch the brothers and uncles of the main line, and lose the foundation of the ancestors little by little without knowing it. How much torment should this be?
"Uncle Shi originally had to stay in the army to see the aftermath."

"Of course, I want to repay the monarch with a countryman, but you don't treat me with a countryman!"

"Think of my Youzhou army. It has been more than [-] years since Ding Wang Ding stayed in Youzhou in the cloud."

"For more than three hundred years, millions of hot-blooded sons and daughters have rushed to the grasslands one after another, and the corpses are still wrapped in horse leather..."

"Even though I've waited so far, they still don't believe that I'll be loyal!"

"First there is the Youzhou Protectorate."

"Afterwards, Ji Xuan, King of Yan, took over the Youzhou Army."

"To put it bluntly, don't worry about us fighting men!"

"It's disgusting to think about the dog's housekeeping and lasping the dog like this... hey."

The venting self-talk finally condensed into a long sigh.

Chen Sheng's face was also sinking, he noticed something that was beyond his plan, but which appeared very frequently in Xiang Liang's mouth: "Uncle Shi, nephew has always heard you talk about demons and demon slaves, is this a contempt, or …”

"You don't know about demons?"

Xiang Liang twitched his thick eyebrows sharply, but when his eyes fell on Chen Sheng's white, tender and handsome face, he loosened slightly and realized, "Yes, you are still young, and you have never been to Youzhou... A demon is a demon. , or the shape of a giant beast as big as a building ship, or the changing state of a beast’s head, a human body, or a human beast’s head, feeding on people and drinking blood from hair, is the mortal enemy of our human race based on the land of Kyushu!”

Chen Sheng's eyes widened abruptly, and there was a sense of astonishment that the three views he had just established were suddenly crushed by someone's foot: "Is there really such a thing? Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

Xiang Liang couldn't help frowning again, and there was a bit of anger in the eyebrows: "Neigong has countless robes and brothers, all of them died, you said that Naigong has seen it with his own eyes?"

He raised his voice and shook the beams of the room to the ground.

Seeing this, Chen Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and put his hand on his chest: "Uncle Shi, don't be angry, don't be angry, don't have the same knowledge as the little nephew, the little nephew has just never seen it before, and I usually hear people talking about it as a poor, sour and rotten scholar. The strange power is confusing the words of the gods, so there is such a confusion, don't be angry, don't be angry..."

Xiang Liang was silent for a long time, and suddenly heaved a sigh, raised his hand and gently stroked the top of Chen Sheng's head: "I don't blame you, I waited for Pao Ze to fight to the death in that windy and snowy land, but it's not just to make my human race women and children live forever and never see it. What a bloodbath... I don't blame you!"

"Uncle Shi, what do you mean by Quan Rong?"

Chen Sheng fully carried forward the spirit of not being afraid of death as long as he did not die, and he was about to break the casserole and ask to the end.

When Xiang Liang heard the word "Quin Rong", complex expressions of contempt, disgust, contempt, and disdain flashed across his eyebrows, and then he said succinctly: "A bunch of bastards who forget their ancestry!"

"Mongrel?"

Chen Sheng thought for a while: "Mixed-blood?"

Xiang Liang nodded and said nothing.
