During the reign of Emperor Suzong, Xue Song served as the envoy of Yuanxi Jiedu in Hunan Province.His wife, Chang's, was named Mrs. Anguo.His son, Xue Pai, was named Longqiwei.Yuanxi Town leads the two armies of Longling and Fenghuang, and governs seven prefectures and eight counties including Cili. The town is located in Fenghuangzhai, which was prominent for a time. One morning, Xue Song went to the backyard early.At this time, the morning light is twilight, the water in the pool is not moving, the birds are not singing on the branches, the wind is not blowing, and the fog has not yet gathered. Mr. Jiedu is in the back garden, and he sees that the plantains are not yet yellow, the papaya is not yet ripe, and the pineapple is only as big as a fist.The melons and fruits in this garden are unbearable.Master Jiedu saw it, and his mouth was a little sour.Just at a moment's notice, suddenly there was a rattling sound in the bamboo grove, like a piggy snatching food, and an assassin emerged. This man was covered in black mud, only the whites of his eyes and white teeth were exposed; There is a belt on his chest, seven or eight small flat axes are hung on it, and a gleaming knife is in his hand. He came straight to Xue Jiedu, intending to stab him.Xue Jiedu was unarmed and unable to reason with the assassin, so he had to flee.The assassin not only chased him, but also threw an ax at Xue Song, brushing past his forehead.Xue Song went straight to the eaves, grabbed a bitter bamboo spear in his hand (this thing is made of a piece of green bamboo with sharpened ends, it is often used to carry firewood and grass, commonly known as Jiandan), and turned to take care of the assassin.Seeing that Xue Jiedu had a gun in his hand, the assassin didn't dare to come to see Gao Low, turned around and ran away.Xue Song summoned up his divine power, let out a loud roar, and threw the gun out of his hand, hitting the back of the assassin's heart, stabbing him to death.After finishing this matter, he felt numb and itchy on his face, as if ants were crawling, and when he reached out to touch it, his hand was stained with blood.It turned out that the ax didn't wipe his forehead in vain, it took away a piece of flesh the size of a walnut.He hurried back to the house.This room is not a green hall, but a rickety bamboo building.Bamboo plank floor plank walls.There are no silk curtains in the room, and the bareness can be seen everywhere.He asked his concubine Hongxian to bandage his wound.This concubine is also not a beauty with fine eyebrows and fine eyes, who looks like a powder carving—a person with a windy bun on her head, a purple gold hairpin, a silk gauze robe, and a dresser in front of a mirror.This girl had black hair loose and fell asleep on the bunk, when she saw Xue Song running in like a blood gourd, instead of fainting with a yell, she yelled to meet her.She has no hair on her body, her complexion is like bronze and shiny, her long arms and legs are tight, her flesh is tight, and she is as agile as an ape.

As mentioned above, the garden Xue Song enjoyed when he got up early, as well as the conditions of his mansion and concubines, are not at all like a Jiedu envoy in the Tang Dynasty, but more like a local chief.But this is only a superficial phenomenon. In fact, he is an official of a big country in China after all, and has a high level of civilization.The red thread bandaged his wound, and he pushed it out three feet with a chest palm.Lord Jiedu said: "You are really unreasonable! I am the master, you are the slave; I am the man, you are the woman; I am the sky, you are the earth; now I am sitting on the ground, you are standing and wrapping my wounds, it seems that I salute you generally!"

Hongxian had no choice but to kneel down to bandage his wound, saying that she just saw that he was good-looking from the Central Plains, so she ran to follow him, but who knew he was so particular, kneeling and worshiping in a new way.Leaving aside the gossip, after wrapping up the wound, Xue Song put on the fine armor that fit close to the garment, carried a short gun, and the red thread took the rattan dagger, and went to the garden to look at the dead assassin.The red line took a look and said: "This is not a person from the mountains, but a Han Chinese by the lake below the mountain."

Xue Song said: "Fart, look at this guy who is naked and covered in black mud. What is it if he is not a barbarian from the mountains? You say he is not from the mountains, but you are just making excuses for your fellow barbarians." The red thread said: "He is indeed not A man from the mountains. First, he stabbed with a hand axe. There are tribes in the mountains who are good at using blowpipes and javelins, but they never use throwing axes. Second, his teeth are white and he has never chewed betel nuts. So he is The Han people at the foot of the mountain smeared mud all over their bodies, pretending to be barbarians.” Xue Song said, “You bastard! Fart! There’s no reason for that!” Hong Xian could only kneel down and say, “Your servant knows it’s wrong, and your servant deserves death.” Xue Song told her Satisfied with the improvement in education, he said: "Gu Nianer is the first offender, and I am exempt from punishment. Go up the mountain and get the horse off quickly." He stretched out one hand, pulled the red thread up, and told her to hurry up. point to run.

When the red thread brought the horse, Xue Song had already dressed: he was wearing a heavy armor with two fingers of thick sea animal skin inlaid with iron, a large wrought copper helmet on his head, a silver mace on his back, and a big bow wrapped in lacquer wrapped in iron tires hanging from his waist. With a pot of spiked arrows and a 70-jin heavy iron gun in his hand, he rides on a jujube hissing horse, majestic and dignified.However, this kind of armed force is extremely inappropriate here, because the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and there are valleys and ponds everywhere. If the horse is startled and thrown into the pond, he will be drowned in the water.According to Hongxian's opinion, he might as well go out on a big ox, without wearing armor, and take a big rattan shield for protection; he doesn't need to bring a gun and mace, just a long knife is enough.Of course, these words were the stupid idea of ​​the barbarian, Xue Song couldn't listen to them at all, he rode out, stood in the street, and ordered his soldiers to gather—those soldiers were lying on rope beds under the eaves of bamboo buildings everywhere, chewing betel nuts. , watching cockfights, and doing everything.Xue Song yelled all morning, only to call out 200 soldiers.He ordered a drum to be played, opened the gate of the village, and set off in a mighty way, with the assassin's body on the animals at the end of the team.He wants to go to the Yaoshan Miao village in the nine caves and eighteen mountains to ask who sent the assassins to assassinate him.

Xue Song went up the mountain to ask the chiefs for their crimes. When he went there, he was dressed in strong and sharp clothes, so majestic. When he came back, his face was flushed with his arms crossed on the horse's back, and he didn't know about the personnel.The soldiers under him took turns carrying the big gun, and they were also panting from exhaustion.This is not a defeat.Although Xue Song's gun is not as famous as the two guns of Luo Shixin and Qin Shubao, the two famous founding generals, but during the Zhengde period, he was the number one gun wielder. How could he stumble in such a place?In fact, he didn't start a fight with anyone after he went up the mountain, and fell off his horse.Go back to the village.When Hongxian saw Xue Song's symptoms, he asked his soldiers to remove his armor and put him on a bamboo bed.At this moment, under Master Jiedu's chest, countless small bright red particles are clearly visible.The red thread asked the soldiers to bring well water, and poured buckets of water on him until the seventh bucket was poured, and Lord Jiedu woke up slowly.It turns out that although the mountain is cool, it is still very hot in June, so the thick armor of sea animal skins is not suitable.Lord Jiedu went out in armor, not only covering his whole body with prickly heat, but also suffering from heatstroke.

When Lord Jiedu woke up, he saw that he was naked as if he had just been born, and his soldiers were standing in front of him, this is terrible!Although his body is not comparable to the imperial body of the emperor, as a court official with both civil and military ranks, he can at least be called a noble body, how can he allow idlers to look at it casually?What's more, his body is covered with leaves.Xue Song is a dignified hero, and prickly heat is something that children grow, so since prickly heat has grown, it should be well concealed, how can it be used for exhibition?Xue Song kicked out all his subordinates and closed the door to enforce the family law on the red line for this mistake, that is to say, hit her palm with a bamboo board.But that little savage lost her temper and roared like thunder, saying that my old lady was kind enough to save you, but she fell down a lot, no, this is called civilization!She also cursed Confucius, Meng, and the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty.Seeing that she refused to accept her education, Xue Song had no choice but to give up.He told her to bring food, go to bed early tonight, and go up the mountain early tomorrow to ask the chiefs about their crimes.

The red thread brings Master Jiedu’s dinner—everyone, this is not a famous dish of the Tang Dynasty, such as roasted lamb and fish, served in a thin disk of white jade bowl; Like it, it is served in a bamboo tube and wooden bowl.Hongxian served Xue Song's food, which was not a matter of raising eyebrows at all, but just serving it on the table in a haphazard manner.The woman seemed a little carried away, and after serving the dishes, she said in a rough voice: "Eat it!" Xue Song was so angry that he was going crazy.If she was Xue Song's regular wife, Xue Song would have to get rid of her according to the rule of seven.If she was a concubine of Chang'an's family, Xue Song would beat her up and sell her to traffickers.But this place is barren and wild, so this is not allowed.He had to swallow his breath and eat.Halfway through eating, he suddenly thought that this barbarian girl must have done something to show her face because she was so arrogant today, so why not ask her a question.I asked him about this room. After Xue Song went out in the morning, two more old men who were covered with black mud came to look for him at home. They were turned over by the red thread and hung in the bamboo forest in the back garden.Xue Song was overjoyed when he heard that, and ran to the back garden to see that there were indeed two people hanging there.This time Xue Song didn't even bother to eat, so he hurried home, opened the box, took out the big red robe of a first-rank official, put it on, put on the black gauze hat, tied the jasper belt, and told the red thread about the law while getting dressed. According to Tang's system, Jiedu envoys did not ask about the criminal name, and the case should be handed over to the magistrate for trial.However, this case is an assassination case, so it can be tried according to military law.After finishing these tasks, he rushed out excitedly and asked the military and political department to raise the account to interrogate the two assassins.

The case is not difficult to try.As soon as the two assassins arrived at the hall, they confessed without waiting for torture.Xue Song asked the reason, and charged those two, one was sneaking across Guanjin and trespassing on the ground of Yuanxi Town; the other was armed with a sharp weapon, trespassing into the Jiedu mansion, assassinating the court officials, and pushing out the gate according to military law. beheaded.After beheading the two men, Xue Jiedu went home, sat on the bunk and sulked.Looking at the red line again, he was sitting on the side with his legs wide open, throwing sandbags and catching sheep crutches, having a great time, so angry that he slapped the table and shouted: "Little thief, what are you happy about?"

Hearing the sound, Hong Xian ran over enthusiastically, knelt down in front of Xue Gao, and roared with arrogance: "Your servant knows your mistake! This servant deserves death!!" Xue Song lost his temper after being disturbed by her, so he had to pull her up and said, "Come on, get up and talk, I am very unlucky now, and I have encountered a bad thing, so I have to discuss it with you." "Reporting to the master, the slaves deserve to die for their crimes. I don't know what you are talking about." "Which one else could it be? It's about the two assassins in the morning."

"Smell! Those two assassins! Have you asked, are they Miao people or Yao people?" When talking about the races of the two assassins, Xue Song's face was a little gloomy.The red thread said, "Do I have to kneel down for you again?" Xue Song said, "That's not necessary. Those people are, as you said, all Han. I was sent to fetch Xue's head." Hong Xian said: She is very guilty, first of all, she is a weak three-yin, with long hair and short knowledge; second, she is a barbarian who does not obey the king, so she The slave family doesn't know what a house boy is, and why they want to take Xue Song's head.Xue Song said that this matter is very absurd. Tian Chengsi, the envoy of the Two Lakes Festival, is in charge of dozens of counties around Dongting. the site.Old man Tian claimed to have asthma and felt sad in hot weather, so he asked Xue Song to lend him a mountain to escape the summer heat.However, Xue Song nominally controlled the seven states and eight counties of the two armies, but in fact, what he could control was the tiny land around Fenghuangzhai, and there was no place to borrow.When Tian Chengsi failed to claim the land, he broke his conscience and sent his otaku to assassinate him.The so-called otaku, second is equal to the son.There are more than 3,000 such godsons as Old Man Tian, ​​all of whom are warriors from the two lakes, who are supported by the old man and are willing to work hard for him.This kind of bad thing will come in large numbers in the future, and it is impossible to kill and prevent. I really don't know how to deal with it.Hongxian said, it was all because Mr. Jiedu didn't listen to her at the beginning.According to her opinion, when the village was first built, it was only necessary to plant a circle of sisal or overlord's whip. At this time, it has grown to such a dense layer that even piggies can't squeeze in, and assassins can't crawl in if it's not for longworms.Now a circle of fences has been erected, and the holes are bigger than the walls, and nothing can stop them.Xue Song said, such words are meaningless, and it is too late to plant sisal now.The red line said that the master of the family claimed to be Wen Yipin, Wu Yipin, and a relative of Datang, so he had a lot of face in front of the emperor.Just write a memorial and send it to Chang'an, and the emperor will punish Tian Chengsi's crime—at least dozens of slaps.Xue Song said with a sad face, the emperor probably didn't care about such things.At that time, the feudal vassals were separated, and the imperial court to the east of Tongguan couldn't control it, and couldn't control it if they wanted to.So Hongxian said that she had another idea, that is, they went up the mountain to seek refuge with his "daddy".Her "daddy" is a great chief who manages more than a dozen villages, and Xue Song's safety must be fine if he lives with him.Xue Song said, this is impossible.He is the imperial court, a high official of the heavenly dynasty, how can he take shelter under the barbarian chieftain?The Master said, the three armies can win the command, but the individual cannot lose the will.Never do this.Hong Xian said that she had no other ideas, unless he went back to Chang'an.It's not bad to go back to Chang'an, she wants to follow to see that colorful world.However, Xue Song's family still has wives, father-in-law, mother-in-law, eldest sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law, etc., hundreds of them.Now serving Xue Song as a master, you have to kneel and worship, and it's okay to be a joke, plus the old master, old lady, grandma, grandma, second mistress, etc., it must not be fun. After hearing the work of the red thread, Xue Song let out a long sigh.He can't go back to Chang'an, but he can't tell the red line.Although she is a personal concubine, she is not of my race, so she cannot be entrusted with her heart.He thought, when I went to Xiangxi, I planned to be the Jiedu envoy of seven prefectures and eight counties of the Second Army, to make contributions to the imperial court, to win a famous name in history, and to teach future generations to applaud.What a Xue Song, he deserves to be the grandson of Xue Rengui and the son of Xue Pinggui!Unexpectedly, in such a dumbfounding situation, Tian Chengsi appeared now, also joining in the fun, it's really fucking fucked up.Then he thought: The Second Army didn't acquire the seven prefectures and eight counties, but only acquired a little savage woman.This bitch ran away without waiting for the words of the matchmaker ordered by her parents, she can be regarded as a person who has run away without talent; I will damage my reputation if I get involved with her.At last he thought again: This pretty woman is not bad, her hair is very black, her eyes are big, her legs are long, and her waist is fine; she is innocent and she believes whatever she says.To put it in a sentence: a barbarian woman can be taught.It would be even worse if he didn't make good use of her right now. When he said this, the red thread was very enthusiastic: "Yes! Receive the decree from the Prime Minister!" He lay down without a rona tent or a white jade pillow.Master Xue hugged her and rolled on the spot.The work had just started, when the back door rattled, Xue Song left the red line and went to grab the gun.But the red line was faster than him. He grabbed a millstone and threw it out. He heard a "wow", and hit a person's face door. The person held a knife and was rushing in from the door.Xue Song was very annoyed: the assassination came at this time, it really deserves to be killed by a thousand knives.So he swung his big gun and went out. As soon as he reached the backyard, seven or eight people jumped out to fight him.This group of people were powerful and brave, Xue Song knocked over two of them, and the rest kept on pounced.If it hadn't been for the red thread dance card brandishing a knife to help, I don't know what the outcome of this battle will be.Seeing Xue and Hong's bravery, the group retreated with a whistle, and rescued all the wounded, which showed that they were well-trained.There was a bamboo forest behind, and Xue Song also had a little wound on his leg, so he didn't want to chase it.Back in the house, Hong Xian picked up the knife dropped by the assassin and looked at it, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Wow! Can this knife shave your head?" Xue Song saw it, and recognized it as Padong's cattle-killing knife, which was worth some money for slaughtering dry cattle without turning the blade.Mr. Assassin is probably not an unknown person who uses this kind of knife. He feels that the situation tonight is serious, and it is likely to be killed.First of all, there are only a few dozen people in his Fenghuang village, and the rest of the soldiers live scattered in the forest outside the village. Dozens of people are also in disarray.It turned out that his soldiers, like him, also fell in love with barbarians.The barbarians like this way of living, they say it's clean and quiet.Now he is going to gather his troops, and the farthest soldiers live ten miles away, so how can they all be called together?Xue Song was in a hurry, and the red thread said: "Sir, my servant has a plan." "Stop talking nonsense! It's not the time to talk about etiquette! If you have any ideas, speak up!" "My lord, these guys are staying in the backyard. They must be waiting for their buddies to help. Let's climb out quickly and find a bald hill to guard. The moon is good tonight, and the lord's bow is strong. You must shoot him to death as soon as his head shows up in Lidi, it's not better to stay here and wait to die." That's a really good idea.The two lifted a piece of the floor, Hongxian was holding a bow and arrow, and a short knife was in his mouth.Xue Song took the bow and arrow, carried the official seal on his back, got down and climbed into the forest along the ditch.It's so dark here that you can't tell your fingers, you can only hear assassins blowing bamboo whistles to communicate, one after another, I don't know how many people came.Xue Song also ignored the decency of the court officials, and crawled behind the red line like a dog.After climbing out of the stockade, he stood up and ran, and after running for a while, he came out of the woods and went up the hill.It was night and the moon was as bright as day. Standing on the top of the mountain, you could see the grassy slopes all around.Xue Song stringed the bow and shook the pot of arrows. There were fifty or sixty heavy arrows. He felt that his safety was guaranteed, so he sighed and said: "Red thread, your idea is not bad! It is your credit for surviving this catastrophe!" Just as he was speaking, there was a bang of fire in the village at the foot of the mountain, and it was Xue Jiedu's mansion that was burning.Some people in the village knocked on clappers and shouted loudly, but no one went to put out the fire, and the light of the fire was bright red everywhere.It was only then that Xue Song realized that he was not covered in any clothes, not even a red tie tied around his neck by the red thread.When Xue Song saw this scene, he pouted and frowned, expressing great sorrow.Red thread didn't know what to do, and reached out to grab his shoulder. Xue Song pushed her away and said, "Get out! I'm so annoying!" "Ah! What's there to bother about, slaves deserve death, can't they?" Xue Song said that this time he would not do her business. It was a trivial matter that a fire under the mountain burned down the ancestral armor gun, and even burned all his robes.He is a first-rank member of the imperial court, so he can't go to see people wearing banana leaves.In such a remote place, it is not easy to buy another set of robes.But this kind of worry can be saved for tomorrow.These two sat down on the top of the hill, back to back, each guarding one side.After all, Hongxian was a child, and she became sleepy after making trouble in the middle of the night. She drooped her head, and Xue Song nudged her and said: "You maidservant, what is this? Do you still dare to fall asleep? My life is only in an instant!" The red thread said with a big tongue: "The little bitch is too sleepy, you old man has to bear it!" After speaking, she fell asleep and couldn't wake up again.As soon as she fell asleep, Xue Song's sleepiness also came up. He suffered from heatstroke during the day and hung up two more colors. He felt dizzy and his eyelids drooped, so he shook the red thread and said: "Red line, I'm sleepy too! You have to get up and accompany me, otherwise we both fall asleep together, and I'm afraid we won't be able to wake up!" Hongxian lazily said: "My lord, this servant is really sleepy. Why did you wake me up? Is it dawn?" She sat there with staring eyes, talking in sleep, and fell asleep again in a blink of an eye.Xue Song kicked her waist and eyes, and not only woke up, but also became angry. "You bastard! I just fell asleep! You are an adult and a master at the same time. You can take advantage of all the advantages and spend the night for a while? My old lady knelt down again, begged you, called you master, and suffered Why can't you even sleep? I want to sleep!" After speaking, she fell asleep again. Xue Song sat alone on the top of the mountain and looked around, when suddenly a burst of sadness came from him, and he couldn't help sighing, "Oh! The year is not good, so I can't return home!" This hurt.With a strong heart, I couldn't help but shed a few heroic tears.Hongxian heard it in his sleep, so he got up and timidly took Xue Song's hand. "My lord, what's wrong with you? Your old man's face is really ugly. Alright, this servant is convicted, you can start the family law!" Xue Song said: "You go back to sleep. Master, my energy is up, and it won't be a problem to watch until dawn." Hong Xian said, hearing the master sigh, it was as uncomfortable as ironing a heart, and she couldn't fall asleep.To put it in words, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, what a sigh.Xue Song said: "It's about Xue's century-old prestige, which you can't know."The red thread said, but why not.Although a certain is cheap, there are those who can relieve the main worry.This reciprocation is famous through the ages.Yuan Jiao, a talented scholar in the Tang Dynasty, collected his stories into "Ganze Ballad". In the year of Jin He's birth, he lost his bedside at night. The spirit of the strong neighbors faded away, and the leader begged from the public. After the success, he resigned from the Luo dude, and died without a match. Concubine Luo is not far away, and she will cherish her smoke forever!" Concubine Luo should be the fault of Concubine Xiang.Recently, a friend of the surname Xue presented a volume of the secret book "The Genealogy of the Xue Family", which contained the history of the ancestor of the surname Xue, most of which were not reported by the predecessors.Yu Nai used this secret book to complete this record, so as to set the record straight.The book is so old, the pages are all purple, it is really a manuscript of the Tang Dynasty!However, Yu's wife, Xiao Hu, took it as seaweed and tore it into soup to make wontons.The paper and ink of the Tang Dynasty are also delicious to eat.Let's not gossip, let's just talk about Xue Song sitting on the top of the mountain that night, talking about his love for the red line.According to "Gan Ze Ballad": "Song Nai told his story, saying: I inherit the legacy of my ancestors and receive the great kindness of the country. Once I lose my territory, I will end my meritorious deeds for hundreds of years." The language is quite simple, and there are many The omission is now supplemented from Xue's secret version as follows: Red line: According to the servants, it is not too tragic to beat an enemy and lose to flee up the mountain naked.Just kill them back in two days.Master, why worry about this. Xue Song: I can't explain this to you.If I was a bachelor and a poor boy, born as a rascal in the city, and I got mixed up in this field, that's fine.However, since I am from a famous family, if I become like this, it is called humiliating my ancestors.My great-grandfather, that is, your Taishang Master, named Xue Shishi, was a cook in the Tang army. He was less than six feet tall, with a hunchback and chicken breasts.My grandfather, your Grand Master, was named Xue Rengui. He joined the army as a cook since he was a child.My father, that is, your old man, named Xue Pinggui, was eight feet long and as powerful as a tiger.As for me, I am nine feet tall, and my martial arts ability is higher than that of my grandfather. I have accumulated the shadow of my ancestors. What do you think I should do? Red line: According to the servants, you should be the emperor. Xue Song: Duh!The barbarian doesn't know who she is!How can it be justified to speak such a language of having no king and no father, committing chaos?Fortunately, no one heard, so you don't have to apologise.As soon as I grew up, I swore that I would make contributions and make a name for my ancestors.It's a pity to meet the prosperity of Kaiyuan, singing and dancing.Concubine Yang Guifei leads the new trend in Chang'an, she is full of literary talent and martial arts, but she has nothing to sell! Then the red line said that she didn't know what was going on in Kaiyuan Shengshi.Xue Song explained that in those days in Chang'an City, the trees were wrapped in colorful silk and the branches were decorated with brocade flowers.The streets are full of buzzing, and the city people sing: "Yangchun Baixue".Although the family is small, there are flowers and plants of the four seasons in front of the door, and in the market, only the sound of konghou and pipa can be heard.In the market, men's clothes are as cheap as dung, while women's clothes are fashionable and new, and cosmetics, exotic flowers, exotic fragrances, etc. are extremely expensive, and they are all over the top.Back then when I was traveling with the disciples of Chang'an, when it came to articles and martial arts, everyone looked at you with blank eyes, and regarded you as a nerd who didn't understand fashion, a barbarian who ate raw meat and raw chicken.No one cares about you unless you talk about singing and dancing, drinking and prostitutes.In those days, the women were full of arrogance, especially the beautiful ones. In summer, they wore ultra-thin and ultra-transparent clothes to show off in the market.Or take to the streets wearing three-point indoor clothing, which was invented by the imperial concubine.She had committed adultery with An Lushan and scratched her chest, and covered her chest with two pieces of cloth. The emperor said it was extremely beautiful, but he didn't know that he was a bastard.Concubine Yang Guifei was everything in those days.Who doesn't know that the Yang family has one family, one noble concubine, two princesses, three princesses and three wives?Yang Guozhong was the prime minister and led forty envoys: Even if you want to be a county captain, you have to leave the Yang family!Those who can't get this set, even if they are like Li Taibai in literature and Guo Ziyi in martial arts, they have no choice but to serve dishes in restaurants.The physical beauty of the imperial concubine is a model for girls all over the world.Her bust and hips are huge and her waist is very thin, and this spindle type is the only beauty mode.Xue Song's younger sister has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and the whole family pins their hopes on her.Watching her tighten her waist and practice weight-bearing squats and sit-up presses, she finally developed a concubine syndrome. She looks okay when she hunches her waist; The flesh of the meat surged upwards, and suddenly it didn't look like a spindle, but like an oil hammer.In such a situation, people who are more noble will sigh and give up their official career.However, Xue Song insisted on wearing purple and jade.His younger sister didn't expect much, so he went out in person: from Li Guinian, he learned to play the flute, from Zhang Yehu, he learned to play the zither, he thanked Aman as his teacher to learn dancing, and asked Mrs. Wang to learn how to walk the rope.Shave and draw eyebrows, go on a diet and girdle.Three years later, all kinds of arts were completed, and Xue Song became a nine-foot-long man with a face like a beautiful jade, fragile, and a beautiful husband who shook every step. Join Guomen.Look at her eyes, eat her saliva, and suffer from the uselessness of that stinky bitch.That bitch was a bit of a sadist, watching Xue Song empty the toilet and wash her underpants, and would lash out at her if she didn't like it.In short, in Guo Mansion for three years, they lived an inhuman life.It was so easy to win her favor, and I wanted to say something for him in front of the Holy One, and the Anshi Rebellion broke out again, and the Yang family was wiped out.The world is raging with swords and soldiers, and the world's customs have changed.Xue Song went to join the army again. He had experienced hundreds of battles and made outstanding achievements.According to the credit, seven dukes and eight marquises should be granted.However, Sansi always remembered the fact that he confronted Mrs. Guo Guo, saying that he was "a male concubine of Guo State, a shameless Yang family, courageous and unworthy of the heavy responsibility." To the deputy envoy of the Longwu Army, a third-rate rank and a fourth-rate ministry.At this time, eunuchs monopolize power, and the world's customs have changed again.The father-in-laws recognize Brother Kong Fang and A Duwu, that is, money.Xue Song saw that there was no way out for hard work, so he abandoned his official position.Changed the productive capital of the seller Zhongtian, and traveled between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River, doing Tao Zhu's business, saving food and money.After ten years of accumulation, you will get hundreds of millions of money.When I returned to Beijing, I saw that there was a vacancy for the new head of the imperial court, the Jiedu Envoy of Yuanxi Town.Xue Song was desperate and spent all his life savings to get the job.I finally became the envoy of the Second Army's seven prefectures and eight counties. Looking at it here, fuck it, it's such a place! The red thread said that she knew a little about this part of the story.Five years ago, a Tang army came to the village in front of the mountain. At that time, she was still a girl, leading a group of children to watch the fun.At that time, the morning glow first appeared, and there was no sound.They hid in the woods and saw the master bathing alone in the stream.I have never seen such a beautiful man in Miaoshan: nine feet long, long hair and beautiful beard, broad shoulders and thin waist, eyes like bright stars.On the chest is a golden soft hair that grows straight to the navel, and the servants dare not say anything further down, for fear that the master will say that the slave is a prostitute, and the master's two legs, wow!Long and straight.The servant girl thought at the time, whoever has such two legs, wearing pants is committing a crime!At that time, the slaves said to the girls: I am still young, in a few years, if I don't get this guy, I will not be a human!Of course, the servant girl deserves death for saying that! At this point in the red line, the sky is already bright.Although the sun has not yet risen, there is a rosy color in the eastern sky.It was a cloudless day, and half the sky was blue and white.It was a bit cold in the morning, so she snuggled up to Xue Song.But Xue Song thought: Although I am in trouble, I am still a first-rank official in the imperial court. The light on the top of the mountain should not be seen by others.He stretched out a finger and pushed the red thread away. From dawn to sunrise that morning, Xue Song taught the red line a lesson.What he talked about was the lessons of his life, all of which were golden and jade good words, all of which were relevant to the current situation, and should have been recorded as a warning to those young people who hugged each other upstairs in the small alleys.However, I did not dare to copy all the works of Xue's works, so I can only give a rough idea.Xue Song said that the love between a man and a woman is originally a human desire, and it is absolutely harmless, but one must not be passed, and the other must not be messed up.Excessiveness is adultery, disorder is adultery.Prostitution is close to defeat, rape is close to killing, this is the eternal truth.Monarch prostitution ruins the country, such as Xuanzong's obsession with Concubine Yang Gui, who ruined this beautiful country one by one; minister prostitution ruins the family, such as Xue Song's unlucky, all because he washed the underwear of Guo Guo's wife.Therefore, people must be vigilant when dealing with this matter between men and women, as if walking on thin ice, as if facing an abyss, and if they make a mistake, they will be hated forever.The sages said that I examine myself three times a day, and it is not an exaggeration to do this kind of thing.For example, now, if you lean on me, I have to introspect: 1. Who are you?Yu and you bet, the name is not too much?Of course you are my concubine, so there is no problem with your status.2. When is this?What did you do?The ancients said that before dusk and after dawn, husband and wife have different beds.Of course, you didn't want to do that kind of thing, but you were cold and wanted me to hug you.The third is the most difficult, to take into account the fear of people's words.Today is already bright, and I am hugging you on the top of the mountain. When others see it, how can they not gossip?This is much more serious than Zhang Chang's thrush!I am a person who has made mistakes in the relationship between men and women, so I must be particularly vigilant. The red thread said: "My lord, I know this before."He also said: Every time the master teaches the servant girl about this kind of thing, the servant girl is very angry in her heart. I really wish I could kill the master and throw him into the ravine.So the next time the master encounters this kind of thing again, it's better not to talk about it, and go straight to the family law, it doesn't matter how much you hit.Don't talk like a toothless old woman.When Hong Xian said this, his eyebrows raised, his nostrils bulged, he gritted his teeth, and his eyes widened.Xue Song thought: This little savage can do what she says, so it's better not to provoke her.On the other hand, the sage said: When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples.Now there is only one barbarian woman by my side, so I still have to do my best to win over her.Just at this time when the fog started to rise, Xue Song said, little bitch, no one can see now, come here, sir, I will keep you warm.The kid read "Xue's Genealogy" so far, he once covered the scroll and sighed and said: Xue Song really deserves to be a descendant of a famous family and a good minister of Tang Dynasty!Regardless of his martial arts and scheming, Shan Na's attitude towards the red line in the morning has already been brilliant.As the couplet on Wuhou Ci said: "If you don't judge the situation, you will be wrong in both leniency and strictness. If you can attack the heart, you will disappear repeatedly!" Yu Xiao got this method to deal with Yu's wife, Xiao Hu, and made her submissive. She swore that as long as the Second Lord still had breath, she would not even look at any man in the world.Even if Gao Cangjian knelt in front of her, he had no choice but to tell him to wait until Wang Er died before taking over.For the sake of gossip, let's just talk about Xue Song holding the red thread in his arms that morning.The red thread wept and said: "Master, you are so kind to me. If you have any worries, tell the concubine. I will take half of the big things for you." Xue Song said, even the master has no idea about the current matter, what can you do?The red line said, the master must have underestimated the slaves!I have been a concubine for the master for the past two years, and I am much more honest.A few years ago, the concubine was Wang Li, a child of the Miaoshan Yaozhai.Climbing Fushui, everything will be impossible.Bending arrows and blowing simplicity, everything is fine, and swords, guns, swords and halberds are all side dishes.Even poisoning and Gu, praying to ghosts, demons and gods, all kinds of narrow methods born in the deep mountains, are no worse than wizards and gods.Of course, the skills of the servants can't be compared with the master, the master is the dragon among men, he was born in a famous family, a good general of the Tang Dynasty, and was also the head of Mrs. Guo's face; but small skills can be of great use sometimes.The master read the scriptures and history, didn't he hear that Cao Mo was about to leave? After hearing such words, Xue Hao didn't dare to take them seriously.He went on to tell of his bad luck.This starts with the title of Yuanxi Jiedushi.In the early years of Zhengde, several Miao people went to Chang'an, claiming to be envoys of the Great Miao Kingdom in western Hunan, and also said that they were the leaders of the Second Army of the Great Miao Kingdom in seven prefectures and eight counties.The king was ashamed of his lack of morality, and was willing to hand over this land to the emperor of Tang Dynasty to govern, so that he could be a citizen of the heavenly dynasty, and the grace of enlightenment was enough.At that time, there were some discussions in the court, saying that the great Miao country was unknown, and these Miao envoys were ghost-headed.Most of the tributes are worthless.So this is 80% a scam, a bunch of green-skinned soil sticks squeezed out the rewards of the Celestial Dynasty.According to the opinions of these ministers, these envoys should be sent to the prison of the Ministry of punishment.But at that time, the eunuchs were monopolizing power, and the father-in-laws wanted this big Miao country.Therefore, the ministers who held this opinion entered the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. The eunuchs controlled the emperor, opened the imperial treasury, and rewarded the Miao envoy with a thousand taels of gold, a thousand pieces of gold and silver medals, silk and silk, etc., which are hard to describe.It's hard to say how many of these things the Miao envoys brought back.This kind of thing always has to be confessed to the father-in-law.Then there is a town in Yuanxi, where the Jiedushi asks for tens of thousands of dollars, which can be said to be extremely cheap.But everyone knows the details, and no one will be fooled.It happened that Xue Song was doing business in the south of the Yangtze River at that time. When he returned to Beijing, he found that there was a Jiedu envoy who sold it out. He bought it for only such a small amount of money.After completing the formalities, I received the official seal letter and the territory of Yuanxi Town, and spent ten times more money than buying an official.The old and the young of the Xue family moved from the original big house to a small courtyard.Xue Song adapted the trilogy Jiading into Yuanxi Town Biaoying.According to Tusuomo, I went to Xiangxi to have a look - needless to say, needless to say anything.To put it bluntly, there are seven states and eight counties in the Second Army, and there is not even a place to go to the village.This mountain Miaodongyao is very brave, he will fight with you for every inch of land you occupy.After finally finding Fenghuangzhai, a land without an owner, there is a place to stay. 红线说,好教老爷得知,这凤凰寨也是有主的地方,归我爹爹管理。当年老爷在此下寨,爹爹要集合三十七寨上万名苗丁下山来打老爷。小贱人在爹爹面前打滚撒娇,说爹爹把老爷撵去,奴就要吞钉子。爹爹说,你既如此,就把这片地给你。将来我死后,三十七寨你都无份。后来下山来跟老爷,每回挨了家法,心里都有些罪该万死的气话。老爷不赦罪,奴一辈子也不敢说。薛嵩说,赦尔无罪,你且说来。红线说,奴婢想:小王八羔子占了老娘这么多便宜,还敢打老娘,而且打得这么痛!现在不理你,等半夜我把你切成八大块扔猪圈里去。等老爷睡了,奴又下不得手。薛嵩一听,吓出一头冷汗,连忙说:老爷打你都是一时气恼,你不要记恨。再往下有些话迹近狠亵,小子未敢尽录。总之是关于家法的事,红线表示想开了也没什么不可接受的,薛嵩对她的教化程度表示嘉许。然后又提到原来的话题上去,红线问薛嵩,既然知道沅西镇是个骗局,何不回京去,向中宫们索回买官之价。薛嵩说,买官之价既付出,已不能全部索回。老爷我不回长安,又和我平生所好有关。 薛嵩对红线讲他平生所好时,正如那李后主词云:红日已高三丈透。彼时雾气散尽,绿草地青翠可爱,草上露珠融融欲滴。薛嵩的心情,却如陆游所发的牢骚:错、错、错!他觉得这一辈子都不对头,细究起来,他这人只有一个毛病:好名。其余酒色财气,有也可无也可,他不大在乎。再看他一生所遇,全是倒着来,什么都弄着过,就是没有好名声。开元时他年方弱冠,与一帮长安子弟在酒楼上畅饮,酒酣耳热之时,吟成一长短句。寄托着他今生抱负,调寄:嘣嘣嚓嚓(此乃唐代词牌,正如广陵散,已成千古绝响),词曰: 乘白马,持银戟,啸西风!丈夫不惧阮囊羞,只恐功不成。祖辈功名粪土矣。还看今生。秩千石何足道,当取万户封! 当时薛嵩乘酒高歌此曲,博得满堂倒彩。有人学驴叫,说薛嵩把D调唱成了E调,真叫难听。像这种歌喉,就该戴上嚼口。还有人说,薛嵩真会吹牛皮。他还要当万户侯哩,也不看看啥年月!舞刀弄棍吃不开啦!这可不比太宗时,凭你祖父一个伙头军,也能混上平西侯。又有人说令祖一顿要吃两条牛腿,而且瞎字不识。这等粗鄙之徒,令祖母不知怎么忍受的,薛嵩闻言大怒,说:你们睁开眼睛等着看吧,不出十年薛某人混不出个模样,当输东道。一晃十年,那帮长安旧友找上门来。这个说:薛嵩,你可是抱上虢国夫人的大粗腿啦。万户封在哪里?拿给我看看。那个说:咱们到酒楼上去,听薛嵩讲讲虢国夫人的裤衩是什么样子的。这种话真听不得。薛嵩在酒楼上说,再过十年做不成万户侯,还输东道。又过了十年,在长安市上又碰上旧友。人家这么说:“嗨,薛嵩!怎么着,听说在江南跑单帮哪?”薛嵩头一低,送给他一张银票说:“今秋东道,劳兄主持。寄语诸友,请宽限十年。不获万户封,当割首级!” 那人说:“得啦老薛,千万别介。大伙都是好朋友,玩笑旧玩笑。你要真赌,我包你死为无头鬼!” 他妈的,这不是咒人吗?转眼十年之期将至,就这么回乡去,别人的嗤笑难当。薛嵩决意死守在此,除了要逃人耻笑,还有两件事儿可干。第一,凭沅西节度府斗大一颗官印,派军需官到巴东江淮贩运盐铁,与苗人贸易。这么干到年终多少能有些钱物汇到家里去,要不只好喝西北风。第二,他还要等继任官来哩,叫他也尝尝这个上吊找不着绳的滋味。所以他今手下人对外只说沅西镇真个有七州八县。谁知这田承嗣也以为他有七州八县,来借一片山。如今弄得他上无片瓦、下无立锥之地。有家难回,有国难投。兽有林乌有巢,薛嵩竟无安身之处。雷呀,你响吧!电呀,你闪吧! ... 小子录到此处,觉得这薛嵩秘籍有点儿不伦不类。晴空万里,何来雷电?倒像近代电影中男主人公失恋的俗套。余妻小胡以为此段乃绝妙好辞,千古文章,文盖上影厂,气夺好莱坞。但小子不以为然,遂将此段删去不载。却说日上了三竿,薛嵩看着脚下的凤凰寨,由于衣冠不整,下不去。红线说:“老爷,奴婢又有一个主意。咱们俩从林子里摸回去。你在草丛里躲着,我去找你的副将,借他的衣甲,就说昨晚家中失火,你老人家去得急啦,失了袍服,然后咱们扯块白布赶制袍服,拿红豆染染,也能穿。至于那外宅男,我来给你对付。小贱人在家里还是大小姐啦,上山去借百把苗丁总借得来。那些人在平地打仗不中用,要讲在林子里动手,比那外宅男强了百倍不止。逮着活的都阉了放回去。看他们下回还敢来不?” 薛嵩一听,觉得这主意还可以,只要外宅男不来行刺,这片地方他还能守得住。他手下拨拉拨拉还有千把人,多数久经沙场。薛嵩本人又有万夫不当之勇。兵法云:山战不在众而在勇。田承嗣若从大路来进攻,薛嵩倒不怕他。于是他解开包印的包袱,把那方黄缎子当遮羞布围在腰间,和红线走草丛里的小路下山去。一直摸到寨中的竹林里,从草丛里探头出去,一个人也看不见,却听见寨前空场上人声鼎沸,有个驴叫天的嗓门儿在念文书: “领户部尚书、上柱国、镇国大将军衔,两湖节度使田,准沅源县文字:'查沅西节度使薛嵩,家宅不慎,灯火有失,酿成火灾,一门良贱,葬身火窟,夫地方不可一日无主,薛镇所遗凤凰镇,及二军六州八县地面,仰请田镇暂为管辖,以待朝廷命令。正德十年,六月二十五日,沅源县令余。'诸位,这下面有田节度使的大印和沅源县印,你们都看明白啦。小的们,把它贴起来!还有一通文书。 “沪部尚书上柱国镇国大将军,两湖节度使田,谕沅西镇军民人等文事:'倾悉沅西节度使薛使相嵩,家宅不幸,火灾丧生,不胜悲悼之至。薛使君是咱老田的亲家啦。英年早丧,国家失去一位良将,地方上失去一位青天父母官,薛家嫂子中年丧夫,我田某焉得不伤心?日某当至凤凰寨抚慰军民,车骑在途。薛氏部属,愿去者给资遣散,愿留者帐下为军。滋事者立地格杀。切切此谕!'” 此文书念毕,场上好一阵鸦雀无声。薛嵩只觉得当头一棒,手脚冰凉。他可没想到田承嗣的手脚有这么快,昨晚上派人行刺,今早上就派人到寨来接收人马。忽然会场上有人大喊一声: “弟兄们!咱们老爷死得不明白!多半是田承嗣捣的鬼呀!” 一人呼百人应,会场上乱成一咽。红线连忙用手肘拱薛嵩: “老爷,咱们俩杀出去吧。场上都是你的人,咱们先把田家这几个小崽于摆平了再说!” 谁知薛嵩长叹一声,面如灰土:“噫!余今赤身裸体,汝又不着一丝,乳阴毕露。纵事胜,亦将遗为千秋话柄。夫子云:土虽死而缨不绝,况不着一丝乎?不如走休。” 这会场上那驴嗓子在吼:“诸位,想明白了啊!管他明白不明白,薛嵩是死了,是明白事儿的赶紧回家去,我们田大人来了有赏。不怕死的就留在这儿起哄!” 于是场上的人声渐息。红线急得用双手来推薛嵩,叫道:“老爷你他妈的怎么了,再不动手下人就要散光了!” 薛嵩回过头来,这张脸红线都不认识了。简言之,是张死人的脸。他呻吟着说话,其声甚惨:“此乃天亡我薛氏,非田氏之能也。余不合力虢国之男妾,遂遭此报!夫天生德于予,田承嗣奈我何?而天不降德于予,也不怪姓田的骑在我头上屙届扈。红线,自古以来,就没人当过我这样的节度使,也没听说过哪个节度使曾叫人撵得光屁股跑。这种事非偶然也,都是我不守士德的报应,现在我觉得四肢无力,心中甚乱,想来命不长矣。你搀我一把,咱们走吧。” 红线把薛嵩架到林里,扶他坐下。她叉着腰在薛嵩面前一站,气势汹汹,再没一点恭敬的样子,说出的话也都可圈可点:“老爷,我不喜欢你了!你怎么这么个窝囊的样子?老娘跟你,图的是你是条汉子!谁知你像条死蛇,软不出溜。我跟你干什么?” 薛嵩呻吟一声说:“事非汝能知者,红线,笔墨侍候!老爷要写遗书。” “呸!别做梦啦。上哪儿找笔墨?” 薛嵩一听,哇地一声吐出一口血来,他想起三国时的袁公路来,当年关东二十七路诸侯讨董或袁家兄弟为盟主,那时中兴得很。曾几何时,袁公路兵败如山倒,逃到破庙里,管手下要一碗蜜水喝。手下说:只有血水,哪有蜜水?袁公路听了呕血而死,为后世所耻笑。如今他临终,索笔墨不可得,和袁公路差不多了。红线见他可怜,就扯一片芭蕉叶,削个竹签来说:“行啦,您别急,在这上面写吧。” 薛嵩要写遗书,怎奈手抖握不住竹签,只得把这蕉叶竹签都递给红线。然后又说:“红线你还是跪下来。不是我要拿架子,而是这种时候一定要郑重。” 红线撅着小嘴下了跪,心里想:狗娘养的,反正就跪最后一回。她现在对薛嵩是一肚子气。那种不遵王化的人,也不懂什么夫妻情分。一觉得薛嵩可恶,就巴不得他早死。薛嵩先时—句:“红线,后园里埋的金银,你要多少?” “我要它没用处,随你怎么分派吧。” “好。我死以后,劳你把这封书信和那些金子送往长安东三坊薛宅。交薛湃收。这信这么写——说与湃儿知道:汝父流年不利,丧命荒郊,今将毕生所贮,及先祖所传之弓,付汝收持。汝母面前可以说知。汝少年有为,勿以父为念,努力上进,好自为之。又:持书之蛮女,乃父之侍妾红线。临终之时,多蒙彼服侍,吾死后,彼愿再醮,愿守节,悉从波便。汝终生当以母事之,不得有违,切切。父字,正德十年六月二十五日。” 红线写完了见薛嵩画押,气得要发疯,心说我还年轻漂亮得很哩,你叫一个二十多岁的大老爷们儿管我叫娘,这不是要害死我?可是薛嵩又要她再写一封信,全文如下: “李二瓜并长安诸友钧鉴:仆薛嵩流年不利丧在荒郊,十年之约,死不敢忘。今将首级交余妾红线持去,你们好好照顾她吧。我这一辈子,全是被你们这批乌鸦咒坏了!今后梦中见无头之鬼,那就是我来问候诸位。红线是我的大令,对我很好;她到长安,吃喝玩乐,多烦各位招待。她要金子,你们不得给银子,要星星,你们不得给月亮。要有一桩不应,薛大爷的脾气你们是知道的,各位家里不免要闹宅,友薛嵩百拜无首,年月日。” 然后他说:“红线,我知道你这个人不遵王化,无男女之礼法。尔见老爷英雄就走了来,却不意要守很多规矩,这在我们天朝女子,原是天经地义;对蛮婆来说,可是难为你啦。老爷平生受人滴水之恩,必当报以涌泉,岂有辜负你这蛮婆的道理。现下有个主意在此:我死之后,你把我的头切下来,身子就埋了吧。这颗头,你按腊猪头做法,先腌后熏。制好了拿到长安去,先给我的狐朋狗友看这封信。等念到一半,你啪地一声把我的头摔出来——有皮无毛,呲牙咧嘴,在案上一滚,吓他们个半死。这帮家伙都是迷信的。见了这种景象,日后难免见神见鬼。一者我报过他们平生相讥之仇,二者你管他们要什么,自无不应者。他们又有钱又有势,你不是要去长安看看花花世界吗?有那帮孙子做护花使者、送钱大爷,包你玩得痛快。” 说完这些话,薛嵩从壶里抽出一支箭,双手持立,照心窝里就捅。小子阅至此处,不禁掩卷长叹日:薛嵩割首酬蛮婆,真英雄好汉也!大丈夫来去分明,相随之恩,虽死不忘,相诮之恨,虽死必报。就如吴起抱尸,死有余智。小子赞叹已毕,开卷再览——糟了,薛嵩没有死!千古佳话,登时吹灯拔蜡。原来是红线见薛嵩如此气概,就有点舍不得。薛嵩一箭桶下去,她却扑上去握着箭头往下扳,只听“啪”地一声箭杆折为两段。不仅大煞风景,而且可惜了一支好箭。薛嵩就叫“小贱人,你又来做什么!” 红线说:“禀老爷,奴婢见老爷吩咐后事,英雄侠气,不减当年,对奴家又是非常之好。小贱人不禁喜欢得紧啦,不想让老爷死。您老人家不就是丢了寨子,活不下去了吗?这件事包在奴身上。不出旬日,我给你夺回来。” 薛嵩说:“呸!吹什么牛皮,这一阵只听寨中人喊马嘶,田承嗣率千军万马已然进寨。我的部属,非降即丧。山川之险已去,身边羽翼已失。只剩你我主仆二人,还都光着身子。拿什么去夺回寨子?就算你上山求动了你爹爹,田承嗣的人马甚多,他也撵不走他。” 红线说:“大人久经沙场,听见人马进寨就知道田承嗣来了,这大概不会有错。田老头不来还不好办,既来了,明天就要他把寨子交还,不然让他烂成一摊水。俗话说,强龙不压地头蛇,小奴家正是这一方的地头蛇!”说完,她请薛嵩稍安勿躁,自己就钻草棵走了。 薛嵩在林子里等着,不到顿饭时,就有几名苗女瑶童到来,奉上酒饭。斩草为窝,编竹为墙,一会儿搭起个绳床叫薛嵩安歇。然后半桩小子、黄毛丫头陆陆续续到这片林子来,有携刀带杖的,有舞蛇弄蝎的。将近黄昏,这种人物到了有二三百之多。薛嵩想:要凭这种队伍去收复凤凰寨,还是门都没有。不过要是去捣乱破坏,倒是够人喝一壶。原来这帮孩子携来的蛇蝎,均系骇人听闻者。什么五步蛇、眼镜蛇、青竹标、过树榕,尚属平常。又有金头蜈蚣、火尾蝎子、斗大的蟾蛛等等,及苗人下蛊诸般毒虫。要是把这些东西都扔到凤凰寨里,那儿马上就成了爬虫馆。天刚半黑,只听顽童百口相传曰:“大家姐来!”薛嵩张目一视,真红线也!那一身装束,《甘泽谣》载之分明,想系诸君耳熟能详者:梳乌蛮舍,攒金风钦;衣紫绣短袍,系青丝轻履;胸前佩龙文匕首,额上书太乙神名,脖子上围一条金鳞大蟒蛇,气派非常。满山童子皆拜日:见过阿姐。红线又指嵩云:此乃姐夫。童子又拜日:见过姐夫。红线乃除蟒堆置嵩身云:给我拿着点儿。那东西在薛嵩身上蠕蠕爬动,朝他脸上吐信子。它要是个母的,还可以说是在表示好感;要是公的,多半就是尝尝味道,准备吞了。不消说薛嵩吓得要死。红线登高发令。指派各重各处做乱去了。然后对薛嵩说:“田承嗣处,非我亲自去不可。”于是把那条大蟒抓过来挂树上,要薛嵩写了一封致田承嗣的短简,拿着就走啦。 这故事的余下部分,薛氏秘籍所载与《甘泽谣》没啥不同,都是说红线夜入辕门虎帐,从田承嗣枕下偷出一个金盒来,里面盛着田的生辰八字。还把他剥得精光,把衣服都拿走。惟一不同之处就是,薛本说,红线盗盒时见田承嗣在梦中犹呼热,心中有所不忍,在他胸前扔了几条眼镜蛇给他抱着取凉。是夜三更,田军忽然炸了营,都说见到猛蛇恶蝎,并有十余人中毒死亡。田承嗣从梦中惊醒,只见七八条眼镜蛇在胸口筑了窝,几乎吓断了气。等到把蛇撵走,又发现枕下失了金盒,被上有薛嵩的书信,当时还以为见了鬼哩。第二天早上薛嵩派人把金盒送回,田承嗣这才大惊大怒,以为薛嵩有什么驱蛇驭鬼的邪法,连忙夹屁而逃。不单不要薛嵩的寨子,还把山边的地盘割了若干县送给薛家。《甘泽谣》所载“明日遣使赠帛三万尺,名马二百匹,他物称是,以献于嵩”,漏了最重要的东西。薛氏秘籍上写的是:赠帛三万尺,名马二百匹,并割湖西郡县,以献于嵩。”又《甘泽谣》载红线盗盒时“拔其簪铒,脱其儒裳”,把田承嗣剥成了猪猡。为什么这么干却无解释,好像红线是个好贪小便宜的。要按薛本就好解释:她老公在山上光着屁股哩,田承嗣是一品大员,薛嵩也是一品大员,所以田的衣服薛可以穿。及至薛嵩平安度过危机,红线辞去;《甘泽谣》所载的理由均属迷信,完全不可信。薛本所载则详实可信。原来薛嵩得了山下的郡县,要下山去做有模有样的节度使,忽得长安书信,其妻安国夫人常氏已去世。薛嵩与其妻感情不好,所以也不大伤心。当时就要册封红线为正妻。红线踌躇三日,最后对薛嵩这么说: “老爷,你真是一条好汉,奴婢也确实爱你。不过当你太太的事,我想来想去,还是算了吧。下了山,我也算朝廷命妇啦,要是不遵妇道呢,别人要说闲话,我对不住你。要是克守妇道,好!三绺梳头两截穿衣,关在家里不准出来。这都不要紧,谁让我爱老爷呢?还得裹小脚!好好一双脚,捆得像猪蹄子,这我实在受不了!如今这事,只好这么计较:你到山下去做老爷,我在山上称老娘,这凤凰寨原本是我的,还归我管。我也学你的天朝礼仪,养一帮奴才,叫他们跪拜我。拗了我的意思,也如老爷对我似的,动动家法。总之,不负老爷平生教化之功。老爷还是我的大爷,要是想我了呢,就上山来看我。总之,拜拜了您哪。” 这番话是在半山上说的,说完红线就泣别薛嵩上山去了。薛氏秘籍中薛嵩红线事到此终。
