lazy tang

Chapter 668 Night Festival
A series of crackling firecrackers attracted people's attention.With the invention of gunpowder, firecrackers were born.Yunhao really hoped that it wasn't Cheng Yaojin's firecrackers that were set off outside, he had seen his family's firecrackers before.All of them are thick and thick, and Yunhao thinks that if they go out and sell them, they will definitely be popular with terrorists.A huge two catty firecracker battle, it's too fucking appropriate to have a terrorist attack or something.

I listened carefully, but luckily there was no loud rumble.If Cheng Yaojin put this thing in the Tai Chi Palace, Yun Hao thought it would be better to take leave and go home as soon as possible.

"Boom!" The huge sound made the Tai Chi Hall seem to shake, and Li Er's eyes widened.The guards drew out their knives one after another, and the sound came from the direction of Taiye Pool.This year, I took a look at the warm spring beside the Taiye Pool, and there is a large area of ​​water that does not freeze.When Li Er is free, he likes to visit Taiye Pond the most.

"What's the sound, find out quickly." Before Li Er could speak, Du Ruhui had already ordered.Immediately, a guard ran towards the edge of Taiye Pool like a rabbit!
Before the guards came back, Cheng Yaojin walked in with a wet body and a carp nearly three feet long, smiling.Walking up to Li Er, he held Yu Daheng to Li Er. "Your Majesty! This is a mascot personally made by the old minister in Taiye Pond for His Majesty. In my Tang Dynasty, there are fish every year, and the grains are plentiful! The prosperity of Zhenguan, uh...!"

There was a moment of silence in the Tai Chi Hall, and saw Lao Cheng's face flushed.Immediately roared with laughter, the sound almost lifted the roof of the Tai Chi Hall.Li Er laughed so hard that he almost lost his temper, Lao Cheng must have asked someone to teach him auspicious words to flatter Li Er.As a result, he was not good at learning, and he forgot his words halfway through the speech!

Yun Hao pouted, talking nonsense.Where did it come from fishing? It was obviously fished up, and more than two catties of explosives went down.Yunhao didn't believe that the fish in the Taiye Pond could hold it, but it was definitely an odd number for such a big fish in the Taiye Pond.

"I, Old Cheng, can't learn the sour thing. When I am old, Cheng will go to Dafeichuan to see the Tibetans. This visit will last for a few years. Old Cheng is here to wish my emperor a long life. I must guard it well. Borderlands, let Your Majesty rest in peace!" Lao Cheng walked a few steps to Danxi, and held the fish to Li Er with both hands.

There was no sound in the main hall again, years ago there was a decree for Cheng Yaojin to go to Dafeichuan to stick to it.Li Er sympathized with Lao Cheng and couldn't come back after a few years, so he specially stayed with Lao Cheng before leaving after the new year.

Li Er put away his smile and stood up from the throne.Turning around, bypassing the case, and walking in front of Lao Cheng.Lao Cheng's face was a little yellow, and there were tears in his eyes.The hair on the sideburns is already gray, and there are scars on the cheeks.It must have been done when I was fishing just now. The bright red blood is slowly oozing out along the skin and flowing into the beard.

Dafeichuan is a place of bitter cold, and savages like the Tubo people don't care, but the Han people in Guanzhong find it difficult to adapt.Going to Dafeichuan is actually going to endure hardships.

"Zhijie! You still don't want to go to Dafeichuan. I will send someone else. I don't want you to be 50 years old and brave the wind and cold to guard the frontier for me. You have followed me since Luoyang. You have fought bitter battles these years. I did too. Now that I’m old, it’s time to enjoy my life.”

"Your Majesty! This old minister can still draw a strong bow, and can still ride a strong horse. This is what generals do to defend borders and land. This old minister wishes to be His Majesty's eagle and dog for the rest of his life!" Old Cheng's eyes filled with tears could no longer hold on. Tears the size of soybeans flowed down his cheeks.

"I've made up my mind, so there's no need to say any more. Pass the decree, and Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie will be transferred to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. After the seal is opened in the next year, he will be the head of the Ministry." Li Er resolutely said.

Everyone was stunned, and this became the most popular Minister of the Ministry of Officials?Xiao Yu, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, just smiled. He is over 80 this year.He has not been in charge of the official department for a long time, and now it is Linghu Defen who has the final say in the official department.The old guy is now looking at Cheng Yaojin with a sinking face, he knows that this immediate boss can't afford to provoke him.

"Dafeichuan, which general would like to go!" After Li Er finished speaking, he looked at the generals present.Cheng Yaojin didn't need to go, but someone had to go to Dafeichuan.Moreover, the geographical location there is very important, I am afraid that it is necessary to send an important minister.

Almost all the veterans stood up and bowed before Li Er's steps.I hope that I can lead the army and go to guard Dafeichuan to relieve His Majesty's worries.

Yun Hao knew that these old guys had been soft-handed after making a fortune over the years.Sleeping women sleep until their feet are soft, and the years of peaceful life have made them have a lot of spleen.The size of many people has evolved to the point where riding a horse is a problem.

In fact, Datang has rarely used these old generals in recent years.A large number of middle-aged generals like Hou Junji have already started to use it.At present, only Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, Zhang Jian, Zhang Gongjin, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong and others are still active in the military.Even Yuchi Gong was only in charge of defending the city of Chang'an.The expedition has nothing to do with him.

Looking at the rows of faces below, Chai Shao's hair is already gray, and Li Jing's legs are not working well.Liu Hongji is so fat that he has lost his human appearance.Duan Hu...!Duan Zhixuan has passed away, and there are fewer and fewer old brothers who follow him to fight the world.

"Li Ji! Let him go, and give him the title reward of the British Duke of Dafeichuan." After watching for a long time, Li Er remembered the one person who didn't appear here, Li Ji who had just been defeated in the Western Regions.At this time, he was still being punished at home, his title was gone, and he couldn't enter the palace at all.

When it came to this point, Li Er's mood had already faded.After looking at the officials under the steps, he turned and entered the inner palace.

After the emperor left, the banquet completely turned into a stage where demons danced wildly.There are those who appreciate singing and dancing, and there are also those who have accumulated grievances and grudges on weekdays, under the guise of drinking too much and fisting.Some even lead war horses and make gestures in the square in front of Taiji Palace.

Generally speaking, Yun Hao stays away when entering this procedure.With such a small physique, there is no reason to be beaten to death by someone.It is better to leave as soon as possible. This is the reason why a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Seeing Qin Qiong waving to him, Yun Hao squeezed out of the crowd and followed Qin Qiong.Among the elders in Chang'an, Yun Hao is the closest to Qin Qiong.In his mind, he really treats Qin Qiong as his elder.

"Let's go, go drink at home. In the palace, I always dare not let go of drinking." Qin Qiong said with a smile.

"With your body, it's not suitable to drink more spirits. You can drink a little more grape wine, which is good for your body." At the end of every year, the Qin family will take away a large amount of high-purity distilled wine from the Yun family.Yunhao was worried about Qin Qiong's health. According to the normal course of history, Qin Qiong should die this year.

But Qin Qiong's complexion is not bad, he has been pampered for many years, and he added the ginseng pills prepared by Yunhao.Although Qin Qiong's body is not as good as before, it seems that it is not much worse, and it is not that he will not be able to survive for a year.

"You said that the wine is not allowed to be drunk, and the meat is not allowed to be eaten. What kind of energy is there to live! In the past two years, you can ride a horse to go hunting when you have nothing to do. In the past two years, you can't ride a horse. Run two miles, I was panting badly. What a bone! Sometimes it’s really boring to live.” Qin Qiong said helplessly, beating his leg with one hand.

Yun Hao was very helpless, because he didn't know how to comfort this old man who was suffering from serious illness.The man in front of me who lamented the years was once a hero who stepped on both sides of the Yellow River and beat [-] counties in Shandong with his mace.But now, it is this kind of virtue.

"When I first saw you, you were so tall!" Qin Qiong said suddenly with the sound of wheels.The height of the hand measure is less than Yunhao's buttocks.

"What's the matter! I was small back then, but I'm not so short. This is no longer three inches!"

"At that time you offended, Wang...!" Qin Qiong's memories came to an abrupt end, and many people had already gone in the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty.Those former heroes are now turned into a piece of loess.

"Go outside the city!" Qin Qiong ordered, and the carriage began to turn.

Yunhao knew that Qin Qiong wanted to see Luo Cheng and his cousins.Every year, Qin Qiong would take a look. Luo Cheng had no descendants.Lao Qin will weed and clean the yard for his brother.Even though the old man guarding the tomb took money from the Qin family and cleaned Luo Cheng's curtain very well, Qin Qiong still had to sweep it again with a broom.

To paraphrase that sentence, what brother sweeps is not the tomb, but mourning!
Tomb-sweeping on New Year's Eve, Yun Hao has never experienced this.Presumably few people have experienced it!
Yun Hao didn't speak, he could only follow behind.Luo Cheng's cemetery is not far from Chang'an, only half an hour away.Not far from the front of the tomb is the gravekeeper's hut.A lonely old man in his 60s with no children became Luo Cheng's gravekeeper.

Qin Qiong stopped the tomb guard from saying hello, and after waving his hand, someone brought him some wine and meat.The servants of the Qin family quickly placed offerings in front of the tomb, and a whole pot of the most authentic Yun family wine was placed in the middle.

After taking a sip of strong wine, Qin Qiong sat cross-legged in front of Luo Cheng's tomb.He didn't speak, and neither did Yunhao.The two of them just stood in front of the tomb, with the wine jug in their hands half empty.

"Boy, do you believe in swearing?" Old Qin said suddenly.The eyes were so bright that those who didn't know thought it was two will-o'-the-wisps.

"I believed it at first, but later someone told me that swearing doesn't work and swearing doesn't hurt, so I don't believe it so much." Yun Hao took a sip of wine, feeling hot from his throat to his stomach.Drink some of this stuff on a cold day, and you will feel warm and fuzzy all over.

"How should I put it? I used to believe it, but I didn't believe it. Many times, swearing is a matter of occasion. But now I believe it!" Old Qin Ang raised his head and took a sip of wine, with a strange smile on his face.

"That year, Luo Cheng and I practiced martial arts in Beiping! He asked me to teach him the Qin family's mace, saying that he would exchange it with the Luo family's gun. At that time, we brothers swore that if we had any secrets, we would die. The oath I made was If I keep one move and a half, I, Qin Qiong, vomit blood and die." Qin Qiong took a sip of his wine and shook his head with a smile.

"That……!"

"The oath made by my cousin is that if anyone hides something, he will die under ten thousand arrows." Qin Qiong smacked his lips and let out a strong breath of alcohol.Pass the jug to Yunhao!

Yunhao's hands trembled, and the flagon almost fell to the ground.

Is this thing so accurate?Luo Cheng was really killed by thousands of arrows piercing his body, and the iron arrows refined from his body weighed several kilograms.Thinking of myself, I often say something in front of a few wives, just love you, otherwise I will have no bottom in my heart for vows like thunder and thunder.

He looked up at the sky, it was winter and there should be no lightning to strike him.It looks like you won't be able to go out in the summer.If God thinks that I have sworn too much, it would be bad to help myself realize the following.

"From the beginning of winter, I have been coughing badly at night. During this period of time, I have brought yellow phlegm, and sometimes there are bloodshots in the phlegm. I know, this is because my cousin misses me. The vows of the year will probably be fulfilled soon. To the old man.

To be honest, my old Qin is not afraid of death.In the ten thousand horse army, there are three victories and three unique skills. If there is one who is afraid of words, he will be dead.This man!The more you are afraid of death, the more Hell Lord will send little ghosts to hook you up.At that time, he was not afraid of death, so he suffered multiple injuries, and even the little devil couldn't hook the old man.

It’s not going to happen now, no one in the family, old or young, can support this door.Duke Yi sounds nice, but in fact he has long since become an empty air.Without the help of you and a few old brothers these years, it might have declined.After so many years, it was not in vain.With a junior like you and a brother like Zhijie, enough is enough! "

"Uncle Qin!" Yun Hao's hands trembled even more. Is Qin Qiong entrusting her family with something?Could it be that his body has really reached that point, it doesn't look like it!
"Stupid child, life and death are ordinary things. Why are you crying? I have killed eight thousand people if not ten thousand in my life. I have slept with countless women. In the eyes of us men, this It is military merit and glory. But in the eyes of other people's family members, the butcher is a whore. Forget it! This life is worth it! Let's go back to the house.

Cousin, enjoy the new year down here.Not many days, your cousin will come to see you.At that time, let's drink together brothers. "Qin Qiong said, spilling the remaining wine in the flagon on the ground.

After returning to Chang'an with Lao Qin, the street has not been cleaned yet.I wondered for a long time before I remembered that today is Yuan Day, and Jin Wu couldn't help it today!

When I got off the carriage, my legs seemed to be filled with lead.Heart more like!

I saw with my own eyes a majestic hero who took the head of a general among millions of troops.Don't look at it, just listen to it and get excited.It can be seen that a hero is late, gray-haired and stooped, but he is still running for his descendants.The feeling of desolation, as if a big rock is pressing on my heart is just a word block.The air pressure seems to be several levels lower because of the blockage, and I feel like I can't breathe.

Even though he tried every means, Qin Qiong's life could not be saved now.In other words, Qin Qiong's life could no longer be continued.This stage play of life can be wonderful or dull.No matter how hard the actors work, the final ending still cannot escape the ending chapter.

The two walked inside with a lot of thoughts, and suddenly the sound of horseshoes came from the street.

"Second Brother...!" In the darkness, a rough howl resounded through the night sky of Chang'an City.
