Chapter 12 Section 6: Adventures of Su and Qin outside Hangu Pass

After returning from Luoyang Wangcheng, Su Qin has been bored in the study thinking about the countermeasures for traveling to Qin. Conscious that he has a plan, he walked out of the study, but found that his family seemed to be busy with his trip: Su Dai and Su Li planned stationery for him, a large wooden box with a good pen, ink knife, and clipped A stack of precious parchment; the eldest brother who was running around doing business has also returned, and hired two Shangfang craftsmen from Luoyang City with a lot of money, and repaired the chariot specially given by the King of Zhou to a luxurious and dignified appearance. The neat sister-in-law and dull wife packed Su Qin's clothes, winter clothes, summer clothes, fur shirts, cloaks and jade crowns, and a large wooden box was also filled.

"Okay! The second uncle has finally come out, how about it?" The sister-in-law asked with a smile, pointing to the suitcase. "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, why do you need to go to war?" Su Qin felt very sorry for the whole family's solemnity. "Second uncle is bad!" The sister-in-law smiled and dragged out a sentence: "This time, you are looking for a high-ranking official to be a high-ranking official. You can't teach others to look shabby, right? Your eldest brother is honest and kind, and he can earn a little money. To support the family. Su's change of family is all due to the second uncle!"

Su Qin couldn't help laughing: "Sister-in-law has such high hopes, if Su Qin can't find a high-ranking official, why wouldn't he dare to come back?" The sister-in-law waved her hands again and again, with a serious expression on her face: "Second uncle's mouth is poisonous, so don't talk nonsense. It must be a high-powered car and four horses, and the clothes will return!" "Okay, okay, sister-in-law just wait." Su Qin couldn't help laughing even more.The sister-in-law was about to say more when Su Dai hurried over: "Second Brother, Brother Zhang Yi has arrived and is waiting in your academy."

"Oh? Brother Zhang is here? Let's go." Su Qin turned around and said, "I'm bothering you, sister-in-law, fix some food and drink." "What do you need to say? Don't worry." The sister-in-law smiled and waved. Outside Dewafu Academy, Su Qin saw Zhang Yi in black clothes standing by the pool from a distance, a cart parked outside the door, and a young man with a bucket carefully grooming the horse that had been unloaded, looking very leisurely.Su Qin said in a loud voice: "Brother Zhang is so free and easy!" Zhang Yi turned around and said with a smile: "How can you be as free and easy as Brother Su? You are already famous all over the world without leaving your home!" When the two met and held hands, Su Qin said with a smile: "Zhang Brother came just in time, I'm going west out of Hangu Pass the day after tomorrow. Let's go in and talk about it in detail. Who is this?" Zhang Yi waved and smiled, "My little brother. Fei Yun, I've met Brother Su." Fei Yun Yun put down the bucket and came over to salute: "Fei Yun met Brother Su." Su Qin smiled in surprise, "Ah, what a handsome companion! Brother Zhang is not bad at traveling. Let's go in and drink." Fei Yun blushed and said: " I'll come as soon as I finish packing, and the two elder brothers will invite you first."

After a while, the elder sister-in-law brought food and wine again, accompanied by Su Li on behalf of Su, and there were five people including Fei Yun.After drinking for three rounds, the greetings were over, Zhang Yi said with emotion: "Brother Su, I have been all the way west, and I have heard many people's praises, saying that the King of Zhou gave Brother Su a chariot for the emperor. I don't think this dying Zhou family still has such an ancient style of respecting virtuous people? Su Brother entered Luoyang first, but this move is brilliant!" Su Qin smiled in relief: "You and I discuss together, why did you ever think of entering Luoyang first? This is my father's intention to serve the country first, and I don't want Wang Cheng and his party. Only then did I know that this dangerous emperor cannot be summed up by the word 'faint'. The value of a car Geometry? But not every monarch can do it. For me, it is also unexpected."

"An emperor's car is ashamed of the Warring States Period!" Zhang Yi was deeply moved when he shot the case. Su Qin's heart moved, and he smiled and said, "There is a car, why is it here? Could it be that Brother Zhang was shut down in Daliang?" Zhang Yi drank a jug of Lanling wine, threw the jue and slapped the table and said, "It's a shame and a shame, it's really hateful!" Then he recounted the trip to Daliang in detail, and finally said: "Hateful, the King of Wei didn't Zhang Yi asked me what he wanted to do, and he kicked me out of the palace! Is an old Mencius who is like a rotten tree worthy of such courteous treatment?"

Su Qin has always been meticulous and calm, and has already heard the key point, and said with great emotion: "Brother Zhang, why do you hate? With one move by Liang, he demoted Mencius and made Wei Wang's recruitment of talents show hypocrisy. Wouldn't it be very satisfying? In my opinion, within a month, Zhang Yi's name will shake the world!" Then he smiled leisurely: "What kind of person do you think that old Mencius is? He is famous for his erudition and eloquence. How can ordinary people scold him? When he met Brother Zhang's eloquence, he was ashamed! Spread the word! What kind of reputation? Actually, brother Zhang is famous for his talent, which is far better than this emperor's car!"

Zhang Yi walked all the way, his mind was completely drowned by anger, and he didn't think about the cause and effect carefully, but when he heard Su Qin's words, he suddenly realized, and laughed heartily: "It makes sense! It seems that both of you and I are worth touching. Come on, come on, come on!" He lifted the wine jar and filled it with Gao Jue for Su Qin himself, and the two of them touched each other and drank it up at the same time, laughing loudly. That night, Su Dai, Su Li and others went to bed early.Su Qin and Zhang Yi still talked at night by candlelight, talking a lot and in depth, until the moon was hidden and the stars were thin, and the rooster sang loudly, they fell asleep until the sun was high.

On the second day, Zhang Yi said goodbye, and Su Qin sent him to Luoyang official road.The humble suburban pavilion was full of weeds, and the two of them drank the last jue Lanling wine. Su Qin said earnestly, "Brother Zhang, let's stop trying the sword. This trip is a decisive battle. You must be careful when you go east or west." "You are running in the opposite direction." Zhang Yi smiled and said: "One day, if the country is actually an enemy country, and we meet on the battlefield, what should we do?" "Seeking the country with others is a matter of loyalty. You should give it a go."

"One success and one failure, so what?" "Help each other, and share hardships and dangers. Wouldn't you be lonely if you were born with invincible hands?" Zhang Yi laughed loudly: "Okay! Help each other and share hardships and dangers. This is Su Zhang's oath!" He stretched out his palm and hit Su Qin loudly, bowed long and said "goodbye", then waved his sleeves, turned and boarded the car Rumble away. After seeing Zhang Yi off, it was already evening when Su Qin returned to the village.Everything has been prepared in the past few days, and he will leave for Chengxi tomorrow. Su Qin thought about it, and he only has two things to do tonight: one is to visit his father, and the other is to say goodbye to his wife.Father and wife are the two people Su Qin needs to treat most carefully at home.The father has experienced vicissitudes of life, he is reticent, thoughtful and serious, and never chats with his son when he has no business.So every time he sees his father, Su Qin has to think through the matter thoroughly; the prudence towards his wife is completely different. Every time he sees him, he will be annoyed. Su Qin needs the utmost restraint, and he has to meet her in a very prepared state of mind before maintaining have to come down.

Su Qin had already made up his mind along the way, and he still had to see his father to sort out the major issues first, and then go to the unavoidable Dunlon Pass. Although Su Zhuang is very big, my father lives in a thatched hut in a small forest.My mother died of illness six years ago. Although my father married a concubine, he often separated from his concubine and stayed alone in this hut.Huang Sheng, the shepherd dog brought back from the Yinshan grassland, became his father's only loyal companion.Apart from patrolling the entire manor three times a day, Huang Sheng followed his father step by step, ignoring anyone who teased him.His father became a monk on a business trip, and Huang Sheng stayed outside the thatched hut. No one was allowed to enter the hut, even his father's concubine and the sister-in-law who ran the house. She was so angry that the sister-in-law called Huang Sheng "a dead dog"!Su Qin liked this mighty and serious shepherd dog very much, and felt that its rigidity and seriousness were somewhat similar to his father's personality. Stepping on the first moon, Su Qin came to the hut, and whistled a long way from afar.Almost at the same time, Huang Sheng's deep whining sound came from afar, indicating that he already knew who was coming.When he got close to the yard in front of the thatched hut, Huang Sheng was already squatting solemnly on the boulder at the intersection, whining lowly at Su Qin.Su Qin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just stand here." As soon as the words fell, Huang Sheng turned his head and said loudly "Woof! Wang!" twice, and then heard his father's old voice: " Second child? Come in." Su Qin agreed: "Father, I'm here." Huang Sheng whimpered and moved out of the way, leading Su Qin to the wooden door of the hut, squatting on the ground and watching Su Qin go in, Then he wagged his tail and left. "Father." Su Qin bowed and saluted: "Su Qin is going west tomorrow, and I am here to say goodbye to my father." My father was sitting in front of the desk flipping through a scroll of bamboo slips, he said "hmm" and didn't speak.Su Qin knew his father's temperament, so he stood silently without speaking.After a while, my father closed the bamboo slips: "How about a thousand pieces of gold?" "Too much." Although it was abrupt, Su Qin understood what his father meant. "Huh?" Father's nasal voice carried an old stagnation. "Father, lobbying the princes is not about making friends and buying officials. Why do you need to be like a merchant?" "You can't use it, just take it back." Father's words were extremely succinct. "Father," Su Qin said resolutely, "a hundred gold is enough. Otherwise, if you are laughed at by others, what face will there be for a celebrity?" Father was silent for a long time, sighed, and nodded: "It's also reasonable." Su Qin knew that this was because his father agreed with his idea, so he put aside the matter and said: "Father is old and weak, so he can't go on a long business trip. It is enough to have a big brother to do business on behalf of his father. Although my son has been crowned for a long time, But I can't share my father's worries, I can't be filial, I can only show my heart, I hope my father will be kind." Father still gave a "hmm", although he didn't speak, his eyes were shining brightly.After a long time, my father patted the bamboo slips on the desk: "One last time. It can protect the Su family for a hundred years. Dazong. I must come." After this rare long speech, my father fell silent again. Su Qin bowed deeply and went out.It's always been like this when it comes to making decisions with your father, keep your words short and long, don't talk about things you can't figure out, and talk about things you can't figure out.The foundation of Su Qin's art is eloquence, and he always wants to decompose everything in a clear and orderly manner, but he has to filter it dry in front of his father, without leaving a trace of moisture, and without being hypocritical, otherwise he will not be able to get along with him. Father talks.There have been several times when Su Qin's decision was reversed by his father with just a few words, including entering Luoyang first instead of entering Qin; thinking about it afterwards, his father's proposition was always more fundamental.When Su Qin entered the mountain as a young man, he knew little about his father. When he returned from the mountain, he treated his father as an ordinary businessman.Including the Chinese people praising his father for the great merit of letting the three brothers study and study, Su Qin also believes that this is just the ordinary mind of a glorious ancestor, and it is not a farsighted plan.But after several decisions, Su Qin looked at his father with admiration.This time, his father was able to agree with him to "enter the Qin Dynasty with a hundred pieces of gold" and gave up his idea of ​​"a thousand pieces of gold", which is really a miracle!Father is by no means a mediocre businessman who only knows how to save money. He will only give up his idea if he really agrees with what you said. Normally, this is almost impossible, but today it has become a reality.Although Su Qin has never experienced the taste of persuading princes, in his opinion, persuading the king of a country will never be more difficult than persuading his father. Tonight's achievement is a good omen! With a relaxed and peaceful mood, Su Qin came to see his wife. This small courtyard is the official residence of him and his wife.The father inherited the delicacy of the descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and his housekeeping is very unique.After each son is crowned and married, he will live in another small courtyard in the manor, and he is not worthy of servants. The daily livelihood is taken care of by each couple alone.From a big account, the Su family is a whole family.From a small account, the Su family is a small family, just like the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period.Such a family saves a lot of disputes and is actually very harmonious.Su Qin never cared about family affairs, only thought that his father was trying to save trouble, and didn't think deeply about the reason. Near the small courtyard, Su Qin saw the lights and heard the sound of locomotives, so he slowed down immediately. When his mother was dying, his father decided to marry him a wife.At that time, Su Qin was still practicing in the mountains, and his father didn't ask him to come back to mourn for him, so he naturally had no way of knowing that he already had a wife who was married by a Ming media.The wife is the daughter of an engineer who has the status of a "national" in Luoyang Wangcheng. She is dignified, honest and hardworking, and she is very popular with the old father and the wife in charge of the family.When Su Qin returned, facing this strange woman who was two years older than himself, one can imagine the embarrassment.According to Su Qin's solitary personality, it is difficult to accept this strange wife who respects him like a guest.However, this is the "inheritance" left by the mother when she was dying, and it is the choice made by the father to fulfill the wish of the mother. How can he bear the notoriety of unfilial piety by divorcing his wife?For a famous person like Su Qin who takes it as his mission to dominate the princes of the world, he can't be careless in matters of fame and integrity. Bearing the name of "unfilial piety" is tantamount to ruining himself!Back then, Wu Qi was notorious for "killing his wife and begging the general", and no one in the world dared to use it. The name "unfilial piety" is almost equal to "disloyalty"!How can a strategist be worthy?After thinking over and over again, Su Qin finally accepted this wife silently.However, Su Qin often stays in his Wafu Academy, and rarely "goes home" to fulfill the courtesy of Dunlun with his wife.As if tacit understanding, father, eldest brother, sister-in-law and all family members never blamed or reminded Su Qin; even the wife herself never went to the academy to serve her husband; in Su Qin's life, it seemed that there was no wife at all. Now I'm going to lobby the princes, I don't know when I will return, the whole family regards it as a big deal.Only the wife remained the same, she just silently helped the sister-in-law pack Su Qin's luggage, and she still smiled and saluted Su Qin when she saw Su Qin, never taking the initiative to ask a word.Su Qin suddenly felt unbearable, and from the hesitant tone and complicated eyes of his family members, he realized what they expected of him.Husband and wife are the first in human relations, and it is really unreasonable to travel far away without a wife... The sound of the locomotive suddenly stopped, and the figure of his wife stood up and walked out, but she stood at the door in a daze holding the lamp in her hand: "You? Are you...what's the matter?" "Tomorrow is a long journey, and I am here to say goodbye." Su Qin tried his best to smile. The wife's eyes were shining brightly, but the lamp in her hand moved to her armpit, and her face was suddenly hidden in the shadows: "Thank you...husband..." "I, can I go in and have a talk?" Su Qin's heart trembled suddenly. "Ah?" The wife's chest heaved and gasped: "You, don't you just leave? Husband, please..." With the help of the dim moonlight and the light in his wife's hand, Su Qin vaguely saw that the yard was very tidy: in front of a dense bamboo forest stood a derrick made of bluestone, and in front of the derrick was a horizontal bar covered with new starched cloth to dry. There is a mulberry tree with lush branches and leaves more than ten feet ahead of the derrick, and there is a slight rustling sound from several bamboo baskets neatly placed under the tree; Feeling its desertedness; the four tile-roofed houses on the west hand side are obviously machine rooms and workshops, daily agricultural tools such as hoes and shovels are neatly hung on the walls, and through the open door, one large and one small two looms are vaguely unfinished The cloth and silk; a few steps to the north is the main room with four bays and three entrances.The first entrance is naturally the hall, the second entrance is the study room, and the third entrance is the bedroom.Walking in lightly, Su Qin only felt that the cleanliness was a bit deserted, as if no one had ever lived in a new house. His wife led him to the hall, her face flushed with embarrassment: "Husband, please, take a seat. Let me make tea, okay?" Su Qin hadn't gotten rid of the unspeakable thoughts, nodded in confusion, and wandered around the hall.The wife first lit the largest copper lamp, and the hall was lit up immediately; she hurried out to find a pack of charcoal, knelt down in front of the table where she grew up, set up the cauldron stove, pottery pot, and pottery cups, and began to make tea .Su Qin had calmed down a little, so he sat opposite his wife and watched her make tea silently.Su Qin was a little surprised when the bright light shone on his distressed wife!This wife, whom he had never looked at carefully before, turned out to be beautiful!He has regular facial features, a broad forehead, and a graceful and plump figure. Although he is not a cherry mouth, his slightly thicker lips and slightly larger mouth match his full moon-like face, but he is also gentle and pleasant; he is dressed in commoner clothes, with black hair, without any decoration. But it naturally exuded a gorgeous and dignified demeanor; if such a commoner woman sang the innocent "National Style" in the fields on a spring outing, the free and unrestrained Su Qin might chase after it, singing and lingering with forgetfulness... "Ah!" The wife exclaimed in a low voice.She was embarrassed and flustered, but her fingers were burned by the cauldron! Su Qin suddenly came to his senses, and couldn't help but concerned: "How is it? Let me see." He took his wife's hand and wanted to look at it, but his wife pulled it back nervously, and said with an apologetic smile: "The tea skills are unfamiliar, my husband, forgive me. " This time, Su Qin was also a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Wipe a little concentrated salt water, it will be better." "Husband, how do you know such details?" "Study in the mountains and travel often, how can you be helpless for minor illnesses?" "Ah—" the wife looked up at Su Qin: "Then... the husband must be cherished." Su Qin smiled: "Naturally." But he didn't know what to say anymore.Seeing his wife's nervous forehead dripping with fine sweat, and her cheeks with black marks of charcoal smeared in panic, Su Qin's heart moved, and he suddenly wanted to use his sweat towel to wipe off the sweat and charcoal dust on her. !His hand had already touched the sweat towel, seeing his wife's meticulous expression while sitting upright, but she couldn't take it out no matter what, she pondered again and again: "Don't make tea, just gossip." "When the husband returns home for the first time, he should be courteous, how can he be sloppy?" The wife lowered her head and stared at the cauldron, her voice was very soft. "How much cloth can we weave in a day?" Su Qin wanted to find a topic. "Three feet a day, one horse every three days." "Family fortune is good, why do you have to work so hard?" "Even if your family is good, you should be self-reliant. If your husband is tired of studying, how can you be a burden for your wife?" "Once you become famous, you should repay your family." Su Qin was both guilty and emotional. The wife just bowed her head silently and sighed softly. "You can't trust Su Qin?" The wife shook her head: "I didn't have such a luxury to live in peace at home." A simple sentence made Su Qin suddenly feel dull.From Zongjiao's childhood, Su Qin has been a child with great ambitions, quite different from his dull elder brother.When he was five years old, his father made "money divination" for his two sons with the ancient method of the Yin and Shang tribes-this is a way for the Yin and Shang tribes to test their children's business talents-according to the "Heaven" that appeared vaguely in Zongjiaoer's children. Yin", decide what kind of businessman to invite him as a teacher?Those who are smart and flexible generally learn to do business (long-distance trafficking), while those who are dull and conscientious generally learn to sit Jia (open a shop by sitting on the ground).The father took out fifty gold and placed it on the long table in the hall, called the two sons to the front, pointed to the shining plate of gold cakes and asked, "Give each of your brothers fifty gold, how do you use it?" The eight-year-old elder brother blushed and said, "Buy land, build a house, and marry a wife." Little Suqin circled around the gold cake, and said in a childlike voice: "Chinese chariots and horses, travel around the world!" The father couldn't help being very surprised, Feeling that children's ambitions are immeasurable, they have all kinds of painstaking efforts that are completely different from ordinary businessmen.After more than ten years of studying and traveling, under the encouragement and guidance of famous teachers, Su Qin has become an ambitious celebrity with the ambition of the world.Like Zhang Yi, he likes to read Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou" the most. He often hides the scroll and sighs: "I was born as a Kunpeng for ninety thousand miles, and I broke my wings in the South China Sea. What regrets do I have?" What he despises most is the kind of mediocrity. Ann's ordinary people often ridicule them as "Pengjian sparrows".In ordinary contact with people, he instinctively likes ordinary people who, even though they are mediocre, can understand the extraordinary ambitions of celebrities and have sustenance for celebrities.For example, the elder sister-in-law worships Su Qin like a god, and keeps saying that the second uncle will lead the Su family to jump into the dragon gate.Su Qin couldn't help but like it a little bit, and even his sister-in-law's noise was no longer so annoying.What Su Qin hates the most is the kind of vulgar people who are mediocre but still disapprove of the feelings of celebrities, and they are indifferent to celebrities. Unexpectedly, the wife is just such a person! She kept her wife's way, abided by etiquette, and was content with a well-off life. She didn't pursue greater glory and wealth, and she obviously had a kind of indifference to the changes that her husband might bring her.In a moment, Su Qin's mystery, admiration and impulse towards his wife due to unfamiliarity disappeared.Suddenly, he felt that his wife was very familiar, so familiar that he was a little tired of it. "There are still many preparations, so I will leave." Su Qin stood up. The wife was pouring tea, and stood up in embarrassment: "Husband... the etiquette is not exhausted, please drink a cup of tea before leaving." "Okay." Su Qin took the pottery cup, took a sip of the hot tea, and put down the cup: "Treasure yourself, I'm leaving." The wife walked to the door silently, her face still hidden in the shadow of the lamp, "Husband...do you have a return date?" "It's up to God, it's hard to say." With a wave of his sleeve, Su Qin's figure gradually disappeared in the hazy manor path. That little light flickered under the gate for a long, long time. As soon as the sky was bright, Su Qin's car drove out of the west gate of Luoyang. Two hours later, Su Qin crossed the Luoshui River and headed towards Hangu Pass along the official road on the south bank of the Dahe River.Su Qin is a bronze cart pulled by two horses, which can be called a tall chariot.The third younger brother Su Dai believed that the chariot bestowed by the emperor could not be matched by a good horse, so he persuaded his eldest brother to repair the chariot to a new look, and then bought two handsome horses to drive the chariot.According to Su Dai's practice, the eldest brother will also match Su Qin with a skilled driver to make him look good.But these were all rejected by Su Qinjian.According to Su Qin's original intention, although the emperor's car has mottled copper and rust and the wheel box is loose, it is a minister's specification with a six-foot car cover, and it is free and easy. It only needs to repair the wheel box firmly; It's impossible to go back to the old days, so let's give up; it's too ostentatious to have a horse in the driver's hand, and make it look like a special envoy of the emperor. If the simple Qin people look sideways, wouldn't it be self-defeating?Therefore, Su Qin insisted on driving the car himself, without driving the hand or child servant. Now, once on the official road, this tall horse and chariot has shown its extraordinary bearing—the sound of the car is pure and rumbling, and the horse is moving harmoniously and smoothly. Under the tall bronze car cover, Su Qin's red cloak is fluttering in the wind, passing by the queue of merchants. Teaming up with ox carts attracts amazed eyes and applause from time to time from passers-by. They are really free and easy celebrities! At sunset, I arrived outside Hangu Pass.But seeing the two mountains facing each other, Guancheng is on the road, vehicles and pedestrians are in a hurry, rushing in and out of the customs before retreating.The first time Su Qin entered Qin through Hangu Pass, he couldn't help but stand by the side of the driveway and wait and see.At this time, Hangu Pass had been returned to the Qin State for nearly ten years, and the pass city had been refurbished in a majestic manner. There was only one hole in the closed gate, but the archery tower on the city wall was a hundred steps wide.The black "Qin" flag on the Guancheng fluttered in the wind, and the soldiers with spears on the crenels of the female wall were as motionless as nails; a hundred steps before closing the door, there were two rows of soldiers, and an officer with a sword Meticulously, he carefully checked the goods and photos of the vehicles and pedestrians entering and leaving the vehicle, while constantly sternly rejecting the money bags stuffed by the luxurious businessmen, and loudly declared: "Qin law does not allow bribes, merchants must not break the law!" An inn shop, a lantern has been raised in front of the door.One of the lanterns had a big book "Weifeng Ancient Residence", which was obviously the most particular one. From time to time, pedestrians, carriages and horses who were going to rest outside the city drove into the inn one after another. After watching for a while, Su Qin felt that he was in order, and couldn't help feeling a wave of respect. "Is Su Zi safe?" Su Qin turned around, but saw a man wearing black veil and black clothes standing behind his car, he couldn't help being very surprised: "Are you talking to me?" "Under Hangu Pass, is there a second Su Qin?" Such a familiar voice!Su Qin suddenly came to his senses and jumped out of the car: "You are? Yan..." "Hush—" the man in black waved his hand to stop him: "Please Su Zi move and talk to the inn." "Okay, I'll park the car." "Under the Hangu pass, the way does not pick up lost things. Don't you know?" Su Qin smiled excitedly and apologetically, threw away the reins, and followed the man in black to the largest ancient Weifeng apartment by the road.Although it is a roadside inn, it is clean and spacious, without any dirty feeling.After going through two guest rooms, he came to the backyard. He saw two soldiers with swords guarding the gate. Su Qin was surprised when he saw the man in black bowing solemnly.Entering the gate, I saw a military tent erected in the courtyard, and several soldiers were swimming in the courtyard outside the tent.Su Qin was puzzled, but didn't ask any questions, and followed the man in black into the main room. "Su Zi, please take a seat." The man in black greeted him, then entered the cubicle, and came out after a while, but turned into a beautiful woman with a high bun and a red dress dragging the ground!Standing in the hall, looking at Su Qin with a silent smile, his face was blushing. "Yan Ji?" Su Qin stood up in amazement: "How did you get here? Where do you want to go?" "Don't worry." Yan Ji smiled sweetly, and said loudly to the door: "Bring tea to sir." A maid floated in in response to the sound, and lightly lifted the copper tray into the cup to pour the tea, and floated out lightly.In a daze, Su Qin seemed to have returned to the old and extravagant palace of Luoyang King City. The maid retreated, Yan Ji knelt down opposite Su Qin, and sighed: "Su Zi, I have been ordered by the king to marry Yan Gong." Su Qin suddenly realized, and said in a daze: "Oh, give relatives to go north? Ask relatives to go south?" "Heaven's special envoy bestows marriage. Go north." Yan Ji said with a faint smile, "Zhou etiquette is lax, and they are all familiar with me, Su Zi should not be rigid. Yan Ji is waiting here to see you." Su Qin always felt like a dream.Ever since Luoyang Wangcheng had an unexpected encounter with this lady of heaven, she had an intuition that this woman was extraordinary, embedded in his memory and lingering.One night, Su Qin dreamed that he had returned to Luoyang City with a tall chariot, a horse, and a body seal. My heart was pounding, and I felt that it was absurd to dream of this distant and erratic female officer!He never thought that he could meet her outside Hangu Pass today, let alone that she has become the bride of Lord Yan at this time! A beautiful dream fairy suddenly turned into a real secular noble lady.The misty dream formed a kind of empty loss in Su Qin's heart, and turned into an imperceptible soft sigh: "Han is so vast, you can't think about it. Jiang Zhiyong is forever, you can't think about it..." Suddenly, Yan Ji's eyes dimmed.She naturally heard Su Qin's "National Style" recited softly.It was originally a frustrated love song sung by the commoner boys in Luoyang Wangcheng. The singer admired the beautiful girl who went out in spring, but because of their different identities, they could only look at each other from a distance!The first sentence is "There are trees in the south, you can't stop thinking about it"-although the trees in the south are tall and beautiful, don't even think about resting under her shade... Back then, this sincere and timeless love song was passed into the king's city , it touched the hearts of countless concubines and maids, and Yan Ji was naturally very familiar with it. Now, Su Qin muttered to himself, but it was deafening to Yan Ji's ears! Yan Ji got up slowly, walked to the qin platform in the hall, bowed deeply, opened the qin cover, and knelt down solemnly, plucking the strings lightly, and the singing began with the sound of ding dong: Su Qin's trance and confusion suddenly dissipated amidst the beautiful music of the piano and singing.He tasted the same heart song of Yan Ji from the sound of the piano and the song-the king is like "there are trees in the south" to me!Thinking of this, Su Qin was greatly relieved, and his empty heart was suddenly filled with a layer of warmth.Yan Ji walked slowly, as if everything just now had disappeared with the sound of the piano and singing.She knelt before sitting on the table, smiling calmly: "Su Zi, I am waiting here to ask you a question, please think twice before answering." Su Qin nodded seriously. "Are you willing to go to Yan Country?" Su Qin looked at Yan Ji in surprise, but remained silent for a long time.It's not that this question is difficult to answer, but it's just that she can't imagine how Yan Ji could think of such a whereabouts?Could it be that she recommended herself to Lord Yan?impossible.If you haven't entered Yan, how can you speak?Could it be that Zhou Tianzi took the opportunity of "bestowing relatives" to recommend himself to Yan Guo?According to Zhou Wang's personality and situation, it is also unlikely.But in any case, Su Qin still has a decisive decision on major matters of merit. He shook his head after thinking about it: "Yan Kingdom is too weak and lifeless, so it cannot achieve the great cause of being king and hegemony." "Su Zi judges, of course there is no difference." Yan Ji had no intention of persuading: "In the future, if Su Zi has the heart to go north, I will help you, and it will be fine." Yan Ji watched silently after she finished speaking. With Su Qin. Su Qin sighed with emotion: "Yan Ji has such a heart, and Su Qin admires her. However, Su Qin can only go to Qin State. Only Qin State can be a great cause." "What if Qin doesn't use Su Zi?" Su Qin laughed heartily: "I have a long-term plan, why not use it? Yan Ji, but relax." "In this case, Su Zi must come and meet me when he travels to Yan." "From now on, Su Qin may no longer have the leisure time to travel around." Suddenly, Su Qin felt that he could not have other distractions, nostalgia for such a prince's wife, so he calmly smiled and said: "Even if you are an envoy to the country of Yan, there is no reason to meet the monarch's wife." and also." Yan Ji was silent for a while, but smiled lightly: "Su Zi's chariot and horse are too luxurious, can you leave me a horse?" "Yes." Su Qin nodded again and again: "I felt quite uneasy all the way. Why don't you just change me to a car?" "What's so difficult about this?" Yan Ji was very happy. She originally wanted to tactfully help Su Qin rectify the detrimental atmosphere of celebrities and nobles, but she didn't want Su Qin to blame himself so readily. For this, Yan Ji felt more relieved, got up and clapped her hands, and told a chief servant who walked in outside the door: "Drive in the Chinese chariot by the road outside the store, change it to a royal chariot, and leave another horse, the chariot Move the upper luggage properly. Be careful." "I would like to obey my wife's order." The chief servant walked quickly. Yan Ji smiled lightly and said, "Hangu Pass is closed at sunset, the cock crows and the switch is opened, Su Zi can have a night of drinking with me, how about it?" "How can I be respectful?" Su Qin happily agreed. Yanji ordered someone to open a jar of Handan Zhao wine that was bestowed by the emperor, and invited Weifeng Guyu to cook a pot of fat lamb stew and some Qin dishes, and specially made a farewell banquet for the two of them with the pure Qinfeng banquet.More importantly, of course, it is to give Su Qin Zhuang Xing.The two of them drank a few cups silently, and the mellow Zhao wine made them fascinated. You and I talked about each other, uninterrupted and full of emotion, the topic was broad, but seemed to be closely related Looking at a certain circle, talking a lot, I didn't realize that the rooster sang three times, and the switch horn of Hangu Pass had already echoed melodiously. Su Qin laughed heartily, bowed generously to Yan Ji, jumped on the bronze chariot, and rumbled into Hangu Pass.
