Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 445 Peach Branch

  Linfen County is in good spring, and there are new peach trees in front of Weijuntang.

  In the backyard of the Wei Mansion, although there are not as many trees as in the wilderness, there are a few trees planted. It is spring, and the lush greenery and bright peach blossoms present a pleasant scene.

Wei Qi sat in the pavilion in the backyard, and there was a table in front of him. On top of the table was a pottery vase with a narrow mouth and a wide belly. The green glaze on the bottle body was cracked finely, like spring A crack on the ice that is about to melt on the river, and a peach branch stuck in the bottle.

Wei Xi was looking carefully up and down at the peach tree branches and leaves in the bottle, holding a small pair of scissors with a round head in his hand. Trimming the peach branches, every time I cut a cut, I have to look at it for a long time, and only after checking again and again will I continue to cut the scissors.

  Spring is beautiful, every plant and tree is full of vitality.

  The vase is beautiful, with smooth lines, simple and chic.

  The peach branches are very beautiful, the petals are pink and full of flowers.

   Wei Ke's clothes are very white, his hands are steady, his expression is indifferent, and he is smiling.

  When Yang Feng came, what he saw was the scene in front of him, and he was stunned for a moment. Pingyang has been defeated, and now the situation is rotten, but Wei Ji is so stable, this skill of nourishing Qi is really amazing.

   "Meet Duke Wei." Yang Feng bent down and lowered his head.

Wei Ji cut off a short branch with a "click", paused his hand, and smiled through the peach branch: "Shuai Yang, you don't need to be polite, please sit down. Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, but Shuai Yang is so..." Wei Ji's gaze He stayed at Yang Feng's hair for a moment.

   It should be said that Yang Feng is in the middle of his life at this time, and when he met in the restaurant, he still had black hair, but he didn't expect that it was only a few days apart, and now it has been mixed with a lot of gray.

  Yang Feng nodded slightly, as if smiling, but didn't say anything, just walked over to the mat and sat down.

  Wei Jiao was silent for a while, then quietly said: "Shuai Yang, how about this branch?"

   "The peach blossoms are shining brightly. Made by the Duke of Wei, they are naturally beautiful." Yang Feng looked at Wei Qi's elegant appearance in white clothes, and for some reason felt disgusted in his heart, so he couldn't help but blurted out.

Taking advantage of the time when Fei Qian and Yu Fuluo were focusing on the camp, Yang Feng dressed up as ordinary people and fled in all directions. He escaped, but now he basically lost all his soldiers, only Fifty or sixty personal guards, like a bereaved dog...

   On the other hand, Wei Ke, sitting comfortably in Linfen City, is still pruning peach branches leisurely!

  If Yang Feng still had some thoughts to play tricks with Wei Ke before, but now he has fallen to such a situation, where is there any leisure in this respect?

   Wei Jiao was taken aback for a moment, then stopped the movement of his hands, his eyes were lowered, as if he was thinking a little bit.

hehe!

  A cold light flickered in Wei Ke's eyes, without saying a word, he just slowly put down the small round scissors in his hand.

  Peach, in the Huainan King’s book, it is written that Hou Yi was killed with a peach stick, and Hou Yi was the leader of a tribe...

  Peach, in the Book of Changes, belongs to Zhenmu. There is a saying in the Zhen Gua, "When the earthquake comes, a hundred million people will die, and they will be among the Jiulings; don't chase them, they will be obtained in seven days." And wood belongs to the east among the five elements.

   Well, even if Yang Feng’s family is not well-educated, he has never read "Huainanzi" or "Yi", but since he is quoting the words in the Book of Songs, it means that he has at least read the Book of Songs.

  Tao Zhiyaoyao describes the time when a beautiful woman gets married, and when used in the current scene, it somewhat mocks Wei Jiao to sit at home and do her daughter's business.

   Wei Jiao looked at Yang Feng, nodded, neither got angry, nor continued to say anything about the peach branch, but just pushed the bottle with the peach branch aside gently, and then called the servants to prepare the tea soup.

   After a while, the tea soup was served.

Wei Ji applied forward with one hand, rolled up his sleeves, and offered tea to Yang in a personable manner, saying: "The spring is expected to be cold, the dew is wet and the fog is heavy, with a little green onion and ginger, although it has a slight smell, it will keep the cold and healthy. Yang Shuai, please drink it." .”

Yang Feng did smell a slightly pungent spicy smell of onion and ginger, but he naturally knew that drinking this kind of **** tea to sweat would have a certain effect on dispelling the cold, and this journey was indeed exhausting, so it was possible to have such a A bowl of tea soup is also very good to drive away the cold and refresh oneself, so I picked up the tea bowl and drank a bowl without thinking too much.

   Wei Ji signaled his servants to serve Yang Fengman again, and then said slowly, "I don't know where Yang Shuai wants to go?"

"I violated Duke Wei's entrustment, and I'm really ashamed, but now that the matter has come to this point, I don't have any energy left. Therefore, I want to go to Hongnong and seek a place with mountains and rivers. It is enough to spend my dying years." Although Yang Fengfang was impulsive It took a while, but now he has calmed down slowly. When it comes to emotion, his eyes are a little red. The past events of these years seem to come to the fore at this moment.

  The shock when I learned that I was an abandoned branch of the Hongnong Yang family...

  The powerlessness of the elders in my hometown when they were swept away by the yellow turban...

   In the helplessness of using knowledge to gain status in exchange for the lives of fellow villagers...

  The fear of waking up in the middle of the night while setting fire, killing people, and doing those evil things...

  The renewed hope when the Yang family sent people to find him secretly...

Once upon a time, Yang Feng even thought that with the power he had in his hands, he could change from a marginal offshoot of the gentry to the ranks of the serious gentry, and obtain an official position in the court, which can be regarded as You can officially return to Hongnong Yang's genealogy, you can kowtow in Yang's ancestral hall and offer a stick of incense...

But his dream, his wish, his strength, his reliance, all of these have disappeared under the city of Pingyang and become nothingness, just like a good dream sleeping in a leaky house, waking up It was still bitterly cold.

Yang Feng hated Feiqian, hated Fuluo, even he hated Wei Ke, hated Hongnong Yang's family, but these hatreds had no meaning anymore, because he had no strength, even if he vented all his hatred How can it be?

  It’s like an ant, desperately waving its big claw, how much damage can it cause?

  Yang Feng was disheartened and turned gray all night.

  Although it is said that there are still fifty or sixty people under his command, he escaped from Pingyang, but so what? No money, no food, go to Yanshan to go to Montenegro, and continue the career of the Yellow Turban thief?

Yang Fengjue was tired and didn't want to continue this kind of life, so he came to Wei Ke. One was to have an explanation for Wei, and the other was to find some food and grass, so that he could take people to Hongnong. .

   Wei Ji pondered for a while, and said: "Victory and defeat are common things, why should Yang Shuai be so discouraged? The floating bridge in Shaanxi and Tianjin has been broken, and it is a little inconvenient to go to Hongnong now. How about Yang Shuai diverting to the east?"

   What Wei Ke said now is very straightforward—

  What's to the east? Taihang Mountain, Taihang Mountain is the base of the Black Mountain Army!

  Going to the east is to defect to the Black Mountain soldiers, and then continue to carry forward the power and role of a **** in the hands of Wei or Yang...

  But Yang Feng didn't want to continue the life of a yellow scarf thief anymore. After thinking about it, he said: "After I return to Hongnong, I will make plans."

  Wei Ke was silent for a long time, and finally raised his tea bowl and said, "So, everyone has his own ambition, let's use this soup to send Yang Shuai off..."

   The origin of the conflict between Wei and Yang:

   …

   Once we chatted and asked what to do when we were old.

   The three generals said they sell steamed stuffed buns, called Lao Zhang steamed stuffed buns;

   Meng Qi said that he sells fried dough sticks, called Laoma fried dough sticks;

   Zilong said that the old Zhao Soymilk who opened the family;

   It was Wen Chang's turn, he said he hadn't thought about it, just at this time Yang Yi passed by,

   Talk fast, let’s say you open a fried shop...

   …

   …

   Since then, there have been constant disputes between Wei and Yang...
