The Submissive Emperor

15

The house is very large, with the door facing east, and it is divided into inner and outer courtyards. The outer courtyard houses the village head and servant women. The inner courtyard can only be seen through the outer courtyard.

Lou Jing stretched out his hand and took His Royal Highness's hand, leading him directly towards the inner courtyard.

Passing through the hanging flower gate, and then bypassing a nine-curved corridor, at the end is a wide pavilion with tables, chairs, and soft couches. Under the water pavilion is a spring of running water, gurgling from the bottom of the pool paved with pebbles. The other end of the water pavilion is connected to the gate of the inner courtyard. It is an unsurprising moon gate. Inside the gate, a rockery is used instead of the screen. The green vine is covered in the gate, which is tightly shielded, making it impossible to see the situation in the courtyard.

"It's messy, let's sit here and wait for them to come over." Lou Jing pointed to the chair on the water pavilion. A servant woman had already placed a cushion.

Xiao Chengjun nodded slightly and sat down quietly. He clearly arrived in the inner courtyard, but said that it was messy and asked him to sit on the water pavilion. If he still couldn't see that there was a problem, his prince would just do it for nothing. "This Zhuangzi Is it your private property?"

"Yeah," Lou Jing let go of His Royal Highness's hand, waved her hand to let the young man go down, and made tea by hand and passed it over. "The Lou family has three farms in the suburbs of Beijing. So he assigned this Zhuangzi to me."

"During the Taizong period, could it be..." Xiao Chengjun looked around, "This is Youyun Village?"

In Taizong's reign, Anguo was still the founding father who followed Taizu to fight the world. Taizu died, and the old and strong Anguo continued to expand with Taizong.

Back then, the northern Youyun sixteen states were not a country, and the remnants of the former dynasty entangled there and invaded the border from time to time. It is said that An Guogong only brought a team of Qingqi, broke 16 cities in a row, chased the enemy for eight hundred miles in the starry night, and cut the only prince left from the previous dynasty. Taizong Longyan Dayue, this "Youyun Village" was one of the rewards at that time.

"I heard that Anguo only took 16 people back then." His Royal Highness took the tea made by the Princess herself, took a sip, and glanced at the still quiet moon gate.

"The story has been circulating for a hundred years, and it will inevitably be exaggerated," Lou Jing shook his head. "Youyun Sixteen Prefecture is the name of the previous dynasty. Although it is only sixteen counties, the terrain is dangerously easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are not tens of thousands of troops. Where can it be captured, but it is true that only 16 people chase the enemy for 800 miles."

As he said, Gao Yun walked out of the inner courtyard with a dozen men in black. They maintained a peculiar pace, with a bit of murderous in their lightness, like a bladed dagger coming through the air, unstoppable. .

Xiao Chengjun squeezed the cup and saucer in his hand and slowly put it on the table.

"This is what every generation of the Lou family will raise, Youyun Sixteen Guards," Lou Jing didn't seem to see the guard of His Royal Highness, and raised his hand to fill his cup with water. "On the battlefield, it is called Youyun Sixteen. ride."

Yesterday, Yunba came back after passing the news to Lou Jing. Now the one kneeling in front of them is intact. It has been passed down for more than 150 years, Youyun Sixteenth!

Xiao Chengjun quietly looked at the sixteen people who were kneeling in front of him. From appearing to kneeling and bowing, they did not make any sound from beginning to end. "Didn't the Lou's Sixteen Horsemen follow the old Anguo Gong to die on the battlefield?"
