Hundreds of horses hunt on the river beach in full autumn, and they still stain short marten furs with blood.

Who knew that the old man was lying in the world, still pillowing on the tiger skeleton back then.

Most of the poems excerpted recently are from Mr. Qian Zhongshu's "Selected Notes on Song Poems". The poems of the Song Dynasty have always been in an awkward position. Most of the poets of the Song Dynasty learned from Li and Du, and some learned from late Tang poets. So they always searched for chapters and excerpts, stumbling and procrastinating, giving people the feeling that they were not refreshing, not straightforward, and not natural enough.

The poems of the Tang Dynasty did not have too much framework set by their predecessors, so they could be integrated and natural.

This is the same as today's society. It is burdened with the burden of history, bound by ideas, and unable to open up new situations.

Here are the poems selected by Mr. Qian Zhongshu that I think are excellent or representative and I like. Most of them are improvised sketches. Such poems are natural, brilliant, beautiful, and not necessarily profound, but they are better at grasping the moments of life, and of course they are in line with my emotions when typing at that time.

These are the books I have in hand now: Qian Zhongshu's "Selected Notes on Song Poems" and "The City of Besieged", Wang Guowei's "The Ci Talks on the World" and "History of Song and Yuan Opera", Tarkovsky's "Sculpture Time", Zhang Ailing and Li Bihua's novels, Shen Congwen's essays, Wang Xiaobo's essays, Lu Xun's novels and essays, and some Romance novels.

I personally think these are all good books that can be shared with others.

Wanwan and I walked on a winter night in Chengdu. I felt very good when we saw Wanwan, especially after meeting Shi Zhixuan, at least the elf in front of us was vivid.

"Xi Ying is gone!" Wanwan said cautiously, "In our previous agreement, no matter what success or failure of this challenge, he will return to the place we agreed upon. We will be responsible for picking him up, but he has not come back. Now he will never see anyone but die or die."

A figure hiding in the dark suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. Could it be that Yang Xuyan took action? He killed Xi Ying and then destroyed the corpse.

"Can he distrust you?" I couldn't tell the guess and said randomly, "Xi Ying failed to challenge and would inevitably be seriously injured, just like a wild beast. At this time, he would not trust anyone, but just hide himself and lick his wounds alone."

"Uncle Bian and him have been in love for many years, so there is still some trust." Wanwan affirmed, "Shi Zhixuan and An Long did not take action as you said just now. The news from Duzun Castle is that Song Que did not fight Xi Ying, so it must be the action of other forces."

"Who do you doubt it?" I asked nervously.

"Xi Ying's life and death are not important. We just need Xi Ying to provide Song Que's information. Whether Song Que was injured in this battle is the key." Wanwan said anxiously, "Now everything is unknown."

"Ah, do you want to take the opportunity to seize the power of Bashu?" I immediately reacted and asked in surprise.

The Yingui Sect was preparing to launch an offensive when Jie Hui was injured and Song Que was injured to seize the power of Bashu. This was undoubtedly a tooth extraction from the tiger's mouth, so it seemed that the Yingui Sect's power was only...

"We contacted the people from the Sichuan Gang and the Ba League, including Yun Shuai from the Western Turks, and were preparing to break through the Duzun Fort in one fell swoop." Miss Wanwan said in a shocking way.

"You won't set your time tonight, are you?" I doubted.

"Yes, is there a better opportunity than tonight? The action has begun from the moment the news of Duzun Castle came out. Jie Hui made up his mind to turn to the Li family. The Song family was too strict in controlling Bashu. The Sichuan Gang and Ba League had long been unwilling to be at their back. This was their best opportunity." Wanwan analyzed, "We only provided some support in this operation, and they were the ones who led it."

"Are they crazy?" I said in surprise, "Song Que is still in Duzun Castle. Isn't he afraid of angering the Song family when he captures Duzun Castle?"

"According to Zheng Shiru's news, the relationship between Jie Hui and Song Que is very delicate. I wonder if Jie Hui will take advantage of Song Que's injury to take action?" Wanwan guessed.

For a moment, I felt that this world was too crazy. Is this the Tang Dynasty world I know? Just because of the two small characters of the Sichuan Gang and the Ba Alliance, they dared to provoke Song Que. Of course, the Western Turks and the Yin Gui Sect were behind them, and maybe Zhao Deyan's participation was involved.

The figure of the Holy Gate loomed during this operation, so what about An Long?

"An Long must have known some news, but he was too cautious." Wanwan said disdainfully, "This action is also a test before the Holy Gate event. Whoever can control more power will have greater say at that time. In this regard, our Yingui Sect has always been an action faction."

"So where are we going now?" I asked. This road is not the way back to the inn.

"Of course I'm going to see a good show." Wanwan chuckled.

*******

Duzun Fort, located in the northern suburbs of Chengdu, is now fighting and fires are rising into the sky. This fortress made of huge rocks has been broken, or it cannot be said to be broken, but the people from the Sichuan Gang and the Ba League have been inside, waiting for the result of Xi Ying's duel with Song Que. The banner he got was naturally for the winner to celebrate.

As I walked along, I found that the streets and alleys of Chengdu were closed. Logically, even if the two masters could not witness the decisive battle night, they would have to celebrate on the streets. The Sichuan Gang is a local gang and all the local men under him. Naturally, they knew the news. The same is true for the Ba Alliance. The ruthlessness of the ethnic minorities is still above the Han people.

This is a competition between local forces and foreign forces. In order to survive better, they will not hesitate to compete with the top masters. Even with Song Que's courage, can he kill hundreds of thousands of people?

Wanwan and I stood on a high place and watched the battle below. The terrain here was very high and the wind was a little cold, but looking at the scene below, it made people excited. The suspension bridge of the Fort Protection River in Duzun Castle had been lowered, and the door was opened, and countless bare-armed athletes rushed towards Duzun Castle with long swords in their hands.

"Our Yingui Sect disciples are also there, otherwise they would not be able to enter Duzun Castle." Wanwan commented, "The Sichuan Gang has a large number of people, but there are no masters. This time they spent a lot of money to invite a few second-rate masters from the Central Plains. The Ba League mainly relies on the support of the Western Turks. The person flying in the air is Yunshuai of the Western Turks, who is responsible for dealing with Jie Hui or Song Que."

"How long have you been preparing for this action?" I asked curiously. I had been following Wanwan these days and didn't notice such a major action.

"Our Yingui Sect has people who preside over the situation everywhere, and the purpose is to win over all forces. This time it's just a coincidence." Wanwan said lightly.

Looking at the Duzun Castle that was in chaos, I couldn't help but feel a little worried. The Song sisters were inside and Li Xiuning was inside. At the time, I said she was suffering from blood in Dashi Temple, but I didn't expect that I would be sad to say it.

"It seems that Duzun Castle has not organized a resistance at all. Is Jie Hui's name fake?" I asked in confusion.

"This action was to catch him off guard and take the opportunity to remove the Jie family's foundation in Bashu. This is just a main battlefield, and similar things are also being done in other places in Bashu." Wanwan explained, "When Jie Hui reacts, he will naturally launch a counterattack. This will be a fierce battle. There are many variables. No matter whether it succeeds or fails, it will not cause much loss to our Yingui Sect."

Indeed, this is a thing that is beneficial to the Yingui Sect without any harm. After successfully obtaining part of the discourse power of Bashu, he only withdraws from Chengdu if he fails. Jie Hui has decided to surrender to the Li family, and will naturally eliminate other forces in Bashu.

"Since that's the case, isn't it good for us to go back to the inn to wait for news? Why do we have to stand at such a high place to blow the cold wind?" I complained.

"I am an inspector and am ready to deal with any emergencies at any time." Wanwan said coolly.

"That's you, I don't have the ability to deal with emergencies." I laughed at myself, "I'd better go back to sleep, it's too cold here."

"Will you sleep soundly if you don't be with me?" Wanwan said with an ambiguous look.

Just as I was about to defend myself, I heard a roar in Duzun Castle, and a man in black soared into the air and stood at the highest point of Duzun Castle. His figure was the Lord of Duzun Castle Jie Hui.
