“无病兄弟,原来是你!”</p>

这声音甚为熟悉,无病抬头看去,只见来的不是别人,却正是那官居右羽林卫大将军的薛涛。</p>

薛涛朝身后的一队禁军兵士挥了挥手,令他们退下。自己便大步赶过来将徐无病的双肩抱了一抱,笑道:</p>

“无病兄弟,才两月不见,你从哪里练了这一身的好轻功?!”</p>

原来,无病自打在玉山草庐中,得雨庐翁传授了“太乙昆仑决”和“一气混元剑”之后,对那剑法,始终觉得太过繁复,只一招剑法便蕴有五方剑势,加之无病平素好读书,厌武喜文,便没怎么去习练。对这“太乙昆仑决”倒是日日打坐,每日于睡前都要默念功法,眼观鼻鼻观心,炼气化神、炼神还虚,将这体内的气府元藏,不断运转于周天……久而久之,愈是习练此功,心内便愈是觉得空灵舒泰,畅快莫名……如此便每日练功不辍,已然成了习惯。今夜他急于赶路,不经意间,体内真元鼓动,脚步便已奔行如飞……以致于,薛涛远远望见,竟还将无病当作了哪一路的飞贼……</p>

徐无病此时却浑然未知,他听了薛涛的话,不由得挠了挠自己的前额,心中暗道:“好轻功……我哪来的轻功?这薛将军也太会说笑了吧……”</p>

“无病见过薛将军!”薛涛这个时候是巡城的禁军大将,又是正四品上官,徐无病如今已身入朝堂,跟着秋明礼也学了不少朝廷的规矩,此时忙俯身行礼。</p>

薛涛一把扶住了无病,笑道:“无病兄弟,我老薛是个粗人,最见不得这些个繁文缛节……你今后,只管叫我一声老薛就行了……咱哥俩可不要这么见外啊……”</p>

无病见那右羽林卫大将军薛涛长得浓眉大眼、满面虬髯,相貌堂堂、威风凛凛,此时伫立于冷风寒月之下,更显出一身的慷慨豪迈之气。无病蓦地想起了几个月前,在杭州相识的青衣卫百户汪猛。“汪大哥不知是否还在人间,此刻若能见到汪大哥在此,该有多好?……”想到了汪猛一身的侠胆,当时为了相救自己脱困,竟被分水堂的总堂主方文昭给打落了悬崖,无病不禁心中一热,眼中一湿,便慨然叫了一声:</p>

“薛大哥!……”</p>

“唉……好兄弟……哈哈哈!”薛涛听得无病那满含真情的一声叫唤,不由得心中也受了感染,他再度上前,拍了拍无病的肩膀,眼眶里,没来由的,竟也微微地有些湿润了起来……</p>

“走!……前面有个望仙楼,大哥叫他们炒几个菜,咱兄弟两,今夜要好好地喝几盅!……”薛涛一拉无病的胳膊,就往前走去……</p>

无病心下不由暗道:“依大乾律,巡城将士,但有擅离职守者,轻则挞三十、罚俸半年,重者革职下狱……今日薛大哥正值巡夜,却要与我饮酒,我当劝还是不劝?……”</p>

见薛涛意兴正浓,无病数次话已到嘴边,终不忍拂了薛涛的兴致,便跟着他一道,来到了望仙酒楼中。</p>

时值亥正,正是宵禁的时候,望仙楼正要关门打烊,那店掌柜一见薛涛过来,慌忙满脸堆笑道:“薛将军来了……将军少待,小的这就去给将军弄几个热菜过来……”</p>

于是,无病之前刚刚与秋明礼等人喝得醉意微熏,此际,又跟薛涛在望仙楼中,你一杯、我一杯的喝了起来……</p>

“无病兄弟,你这次,可算出了名啦!……朝野上下,都在传你的大名呢!”薛涛撕了一只鸡腿,咬了一大口肉,说道。</p>

“让薛大哥见笑了……”无病仰起脖子,将手中的一杯“老刀烧”一饮而尽。无病只觉此酒入口火辣,喉中似有火烧,这二十文钱一壶的“老刀烧”,虽没有“汾阳醉”的那股醇厚香浓,但也别有一番劲道。</p>

薛涛也跟着满饮了一杯“老刀烧”,兀自说道:</p>

“无病兄弟,非但朝廷里的人,在议论你,连那市井巷陌中的人,也都在到处打听你的名字呢……都道你不惜孤身犯险,竟敢老虎嘴里去拔牙,公然跟太子作对,还替国库讨回了一大笔的银子!……哈哈哈!以前,秋先生说你‘胆色从容’可以当他的老师了……我当时还道秋先生只是玩笑之语,现如今,我老薛可还真的有些信了……”</p>

徐无病闻听此语,不由得心中哭笑不得,心道我不过是无心之举,这全是胡姐姐的筹划之一,再者,追还库银亦不过是我的本职罢了,却怎会闹得朝堂上下沸沸扬扬?遂淡然说道:</p>

“薛大哥,切莫听那些人胡扯乱传,无病追讨国库欠银,原是我分内的本职差使,算不上什么‘老虎嘴里拔牙’……至于那‘讨回了一大笔银子’之说,更属无稽之谈……那一百一十万两欠银,太子能不能还、何时可还,也未可知呀……”</p>

薛涛喝了一口酒,又道:</p>

“不瞒你无病兄弟,老薛我听魏王说了,皇上将那太子叫进了大明宫,狠狠地教训了一顿,还严令他务须在新春之前,将那一百一十万两欠银尽数归还国库,若误了半日,少还半两银子,国法处置!”</p>

无病听得不由心头一振,暗道皇帝有此决心,实属苍生之幸也!</p>

无病正欲说话,却听得薛涛顾自叹了一口气,说道:</p>

“咳!就算太子把欠国库的银子都还上,朝廷目下既要赈灾施粮,又要修河引水,这缺口还有二百多万两银子呐……这么多银子又从哪儿去筹?……魏王这几日,愁得头发都白了好几根啊!”</p>

……</p>

薛涛看上去一个铁塔般的汉子,但酒量却是很浅。无病与他一起,才喝了一壶“老刀烧”,便见薛涛已醉意微萌。他心道薛大哥毕竟是当值的人,若再喝下去,势必酩酊大醉,便略略劝了几句,叫来店掌柜付了酒钱,与薛涛径出了望仙楼……</p>

两人出得酒楼之外,已是子初时分。此时,黑沉沉的夜色已然将整个长安城尽行包裹了起来,极目望去,四周都是一些黑黢黢的屋宇瓦舍,天地之间,仿佛只有无病与薛涛两个萧索的身影,正踽踽独行……</p>

子时天地相交、一阳初起,这时候,大地最为黑暗,光明却已悄然孕育……阴阳轮转、天地间一切变化,均是早已设定……</p>

无病与薛涛分开之时,各自拱手道别,无病忽然心有所动,不禁一边施礼,一边说道:</p>

“薛大哥,无病的老家江南道,无论杭州府还是云州府、嘉定府、绍兴府,以及那苏南道……那里良田肥美、物产丰饶……今年又是丰收之年。薛大哥何不劝魏王到那江南一带,向那些粮田大户募款筹粮,或能解得灾民困厄……”</p>
