Haiyan

Tianyingguan is adjacent to the Gonghe River in the north and on the mountainside in the south. It has a long history and is famous far and wide.

It is the throat of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the only way to go west to Bianjing and east to Wuyang.

The army of [-] blood alliance guards rushed all the way from Bianjing, and took a rest at Tianying Pass five days later.

October [-]nd, night.

The night of Wei Zi Camp was brightly lit, and it was very quiet. The figures coming and going in and out of the handsome tent did not end until midnight. Wei Qing gently put a bowl of porridge and a few steamed buns aside, and the tent was extremely quiet. It's gone, only the rustle of Wei Shuyou's brush and ink.

After a while, under the lights, the young coach sealed the written letter with wax, handed it to Wei Qing and said, "Give a greeting to the city guards in Yaocheng. Before the reinforcements arrive, be sure to drag those rogues away first." Living."

Wei Qing took the letter and asked, "My lord, do we need to go in such a hurry?!"

Wei Shuyou picked up the steamed bun and took a big bite. He hadn't had a good rest for a few days, and all the blue stubble around his mouth appeared, and his eyes were bloodshot. It became more and more mature and stable.

Putting her head down and took a sip of the porridge, Wei Shuyou said, "Of course we need to be in a hurry, don't forget, His Majesty will always be watching us!"

Wei Qing pouted, but did not speak again, Wei Shuyou asked again: "Is there any news from the mansion these days?"

Wei Qing said: "We've only set out for five days, how can we go so fast!"

Wei Shuyou was taken aback, pinched her nose and smiled, "Hi, I thought it's been a month."

After Wei Qing retreated, Wei Shuyou threw all the official documents on the bank aside, then leaned back in the chair, crossed her legs and began to fall asleep.

The army set off on the 28th. On the day of departure, the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty sent many important officials to see them off. Wei Shuyou politely expressed his gratitude. Chang Sheng took a group of people from the palace to stay. Standing at the side without making a sound, after Wei Shuyou finished dealing with those old things, he walked over and pulled him aside, and asked him: "Why do you look so unhappy, can't you bear to leave for your brother?"

Chang Sheng didn't deny it, just nodded and didn't speak.

Wei Shuyou hugged him carelessly, habitually carried the halberd on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "The last time I went to Sanganhe, I went for two years, and I didn't see your expression. That's fine, be happy. , I will still send you gifts every month in the future, okay?"

Chang Sheng raised his eyes and looked at him seriously. After a long while, he suddenly raised his wrist. Wei Shuyou saw that the sharp knife with the word Wei on his wrist was exactly the one he gave Chang Sheng the first time he came back from Sanganhe. Sheng stabbed it.

Chang Sheng said: "Since you don't bring me along, what's the point?"

Wei Shuyou was a little embarrassed, and said: "It's not the time yet, why are you in a hurry? Besides, I haven't been there for long this time, and even the birds don't shit in that ghostly place, so don't follow the past to join in the fun .”

Chang Sheng sighed, and stretched out his hand to straighten Wei Shuyou's collar. It looked like a little charming wife tidying up her husband who was away from home, but neither of them thought it was weird.

Standing in front of him, Chang Sheng was as short as his head, his face was white and tender, and his lips were as red as if painted with rouge. Destroyed by the blood alliance guards, all eleven cities around the Sangan River were collected by you, but you just left the Yandu Gate, brother, I can even see your deliberate actions, let alone It's Your Majesty."

Wei Shuyou was not surprised by his words at all, and said, "I did this just to let him see it, there is nothing to mention."

Chang Sheng said: "But once you say this, the gap between you and His Majesty will only deepen. Now he has nothing to do with you for the time being, but what about the future?"

Wei Shuyou looked at the distant skyline with a pair of eyes. The scorching sun was like fire, shining all over the land, and it was golden. He said: "Your Majesty has been thinking about cutting down the feudal clan for ten years. After all, there is nothing I can do with my father. Leave it to him, that's what my father meant, and it's also my original intention, but you don't understand our Majesty, the more you show weakness to him, the more he wants you to die, so I made up my mind before I came back last time Don’t leave him any trouble in the west, does he really think I’m the lamb he let him slaughter when I just came back from Jiuyi Mountain?!”

Chang Sheng asked: "But now that he knows that you personally planted the disaster at Yandu Gate, are you not afraid that he will accumulate more and more for you?"

Wei Shuyou said boldly: "That's okay, this hatred has been remembered for more than ten years, and I don't care about this time."

He turned his head to look at Changsheng, and said seriously: "Shang Yu, the reason why I don't want to take you there is naturally my reason. It's hard to say whether the old emperor of the Western Han Dynasty can live until winter. The situation in the Western Han Dynasty will be chaotic. Now they are in charge of the fifth son, Zhao Yuqiang. What are the disadvantages on the surface, but there are already people's complaints in private, I know that your biggest wish these years is to watch him die with your own eyes, so Shang Yu, now is the best time."

Chang Sheng looked at him, and was speechless for a while.

Wei Shuyou is used to being careless, and her words are always rambling, but she is always very serious when dealing with Chang Sheng's affairs.

"I have sent someone to investigate the person who sent the letter to you. This person has been in the Gyeonggi Palace for five years, and he has climbed step by step from a lowly slave to the position of Qianduwei. Such a talent cannot be underestimated. His subordinates There are nearly [-] armored slave soldiers, all of whom were captured during the Great Northern War. Although I don’t know what method he used to get such a great use in the Western Han Dynasty, if there is any change in this man, it will definitely give the Western Han Dynasty a big blow. It’s not a small amount of destruction, Shang Yu, you can go to him, but the premise is that you must protect yourself.”

He stretched out his broad palm and brushed Chang Sheng's hair that fell by his ear, and continued: "The road to revenge is difficult and difficult, but in the end you need to face it alone. I will take care of everything I can for you, but among them, you have to go forward alone, although it is difficult, but don't be afraid, I will always be by your side watching you, accompanying you, so as not to let You are so lonely on this road."

As if something was stuck in his throat, Chang Sheng's eyes gradually turned red, and his chest was surging. The inexplicable emotion seemed to be about to destroy him, and there were too many things he wanted to say to Wei Shuyou , but in the end, it all turned into a soft 'hmm'.

He tilted his head slightly to prevent Wei Shuyou from seeing the change on his face.

"I'll stop talking a lot, and you will definitely understand what I mean. Come on, it's getting late, and it's time for me to go on the road." He turned on his horse suddenly, and the black armor patch on his shoulder made a soft sound as he moved.

Chang Sheng raised his head to look at him, only felt that the man immediately was extremely tall, as if his world could protect him forever and protect him from wind and rain.

"Remember to send me a letter every month, no matter where you are, if you forget, you will die!" Wei Shuyou deliberately stared fiercely, and as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't hold back her laughter .

He waved his hand at Changsheng, and then went to talk to a group of people in the palace. After a while, the army started to move forward, causing the ground to tremble.

In the tent with lights like beans, Wei Shuyou quietly thought about the scene of his parting with Chang Sheng a few days ago, and couldn't help muttering: "Little heartless, I know I'm going to go far away, and I didn't say anything to give Something to make me happy."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly thought of the brown leather bracelet that Changsheng accidentally revealed when he raised his wrist to show him the pattern of the knife with the word Wei.

It was the second time he saw that thing, Wei Shuyou leaned on the back of the chair and slowly opened her eyes.

The surrounding light was very weak and not dazzling, but he couldn't help squinting his eyes for no reason, and murmured: "Who gave it to that little heartless person, so that he didn't tell me that such a precious thing? "

He subconsciously said a word, but he didn't feel that his tone was mixed with a strange taste, and he discarded a bunch of military affairs in his mind, all of which were trivial matters.

"My mistress..." Wei Shuyou murmured for no reason, but was taken aback by what she just said.

"I still only like the kind of our prince who is always down here..."

Wei Shuyou's mind suddenly popped up such a sentence, he thought: "Isn't it a bitch who said under Ban Jiangse? It's not feasible, it must be on top, otherwise it will make people laugh!"

While he was thinking about irrelevant things, he subconsciously took out a pen and paper and began to move, saying to himself, "You son of a bitch, it's been so long and I don't know how to write a letter of condolence to me. I have hurt you for so long."

Saying so, the writing under his hand became faster and faster, like a dog gnawed, and after a while, a long and eloquent letter from home was completed. He read it carefully, and then bit the tip of the pen and said: "What if that What should I do now that the bastard is no longer in the palace? Didn’t I write this letter for nothing?”

Squeezing her chin, she crumpled up the letter she had just written and threw it away. At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly came in along the raised curtain. With a black cloak and a hood on his head, a foot that came in just stepped on the ball of paper he threw away.

Chang Sheng bent down and picked up the things under his feet, and took off the hood. Before he could speak, Wei Shuyou jumped up from the chair, and said in a voiceless voice: "Why did you follow?!"

Chang Sheng smiled, raised his eyebrows and said, "I've been following you. Seeing that you finally stopped to rest tonight, I couldn't help but come over to see you."

Wei Shuyou hadn't reacted from the shock of seeing him, and said fiercely: "Nonsense, who told you to follow, what I said to you when I left, it was all for nothing, right?!"

Chang Sheng didn't dare to look at him, so he took off his cloak, revealing the light green gown inside, which was a far cry from Wei Shuyou's rough and messy appearance.

Ignoring his words, Chang Sheng went straight to the incense table, looked at the leftover half steamed bun and a dry empty bowl, and asked, "This is what you ate at night?"

Wei Shuyou stared at him without saying a word.

Changsheng resentfully said: "I can't rest well and I can't eat well, how can a person bear it? Look at you, your eyes are so red, have you not slept for several days?"

This is true.

Traveling three hundred miles on this road, there is a pair of eyes of the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty staring in the dark, followed by a gang of gangsters from Yandumen. In the past, in the middle of the night, he might still be leading an army through that ravine.

"Have you taken the medicine?" Chang Sheng continued to ask, and immediately asked the Prince Wei who was just about ready to get angry.

"Yo, I'd have forgotten about it if you didn't tell me." Wei Shuyou pretended to go out, but was grabbed by Chang Sheng, and asked, "Why are you going?"

Wei Shuyou: "Ask Wei Qing to bring the medicine to the boil."

Changsheng sneered: "Come on, I've already ordered it, and it will be delivered in a while... Why are you all so reassuring, just forget it if you can't remember it, Wei Qing actually remembers it." Can't stop, I have to talk to him in a while."

As he spoke, he just remembered the ball of paper he picked up just now and opened it, subconsciously asking, "What is this?"

Wei Shuyou wanted to grab it, but saw that Chang Sheng had already lowered his head to look at it. He was a little embarrassed at the moment, and laughed a few times, but dared not say anything.

"Little bastard, my brother just arrived at Tianyingguan today. This place is dilapidated and dilapidated, and it can't compare to the prosperity and beauty of Bianjing. It's a good thing you didn't follow, otherwise you will definitely cry in front of me. I won't coax you at that time." ...I haven't seen you for a few days, and I don't know if you have grown taller. Brother, I have been working so hard recently. When I looked in the mirror this morning, I found that I was three points more handsome. It's a pity that this It's a pity that you won't be able to see such a handsome man..."

While reading in a low voice, Chang Sheng couldn't help laughing out loud, and asked, "Is this a letter to my family?"

Wei Shuyou snorted twice, snatched the letter over, and cursed: "Who allowed you to look at it randomly, you followed me in before I finished writing, it will really destroy the stage."

Chang Sheng laughed and said, "Since it was written for me, why can't I read it?"

Wei Shuyou: "I didn't say I wrote it for you."

Chang Sheng: "Who was it written for? Do you have other younger brothers?"

Wei Shuyou ignored him, put the crumpled letter into her arms, and said seriously: "Tell me, what are you doing with me?"

Chang Sheng sat down next to him, and the chill that was brought on his body just now dissipated, but when he got close to Wei Shuyou, the latter still couldn't help coughing, Chang Sheng was about to say something caring, Wei Shuyou seemed to know what he was going to say Like something, he stretched out his hand to stop, and continued: "Old Huang, do they know that you are coming?"

Chang Sheng handed him his saliva, and said: "Old Huang knows, I told him before I left, so as to save him from worrying."

Wei Shuyou suddenly jumped up again, scolding: "Since you know you are coming, don't you know how to stop the old man?!"

Chang Sheng elbowed him, and said: "He is too lazy to care about me, he only cares about walking his birds, after I told him about this, he didn't even look at me, and told me to get out of here .”

Wei Shuyou immediately became furious, cursing and saying: "This old man, go back and see if I won't scold him to death!" As he said, he hugged Chang Sheng and said distressedly: "Sure enough, besides me, this group of old Bastards are unreliable...Where is Uncle Zhong, did you tell him when you came out?"

Chang Sheng said: "He knows, but he refuses to let me come."

Wei Shuyou nodded and said with great relief: "After all, the people from our palace are reliable."

Chang Sheng continued: "It's not because of anything else that he didn't let me come, but mainly because he was afraid that I would cause trouble for you. As for me, he said he was too lazy to take care of me."

Wei Shuyou: "...Damn it! They will bully you as soon as I leave, right?"

Chang Sheng refueled and said: "Yeah, you don't even know what they did to me during the two years when you were not here, I can't even say it, it's so cruel..."

Wei Shuyou was so distressed that she quickly stretched out her hand to stroke the hair on Chang Sheng's head, and sighed, "I really know people, but they don't know their hearts. I didn't expect this group of people to... ah, that's not right!"

Only then did he realize that he was fooled by Chang Sheng, and he pulled him out of his arms, and saw the man in front of him smiling at him with his mouth crooked, and cursed: "Little bastard, how dare you come to lie to me?" !"

Chang Sheng said: "I'm afraid you're too boring these days, just to tease you... Before leaving, Lao Huang personally sent me out of the city. Uncle Zhong and the others didn't know about it, but they should know about it by now."

Wei Shuyou asked: "Does he know that you are looking for me?"

Chang Sheng lowered his eyelids, and said softly: "Brother, in fact, I came this time mainly to see you... I am going to leave tomorrow and go to Western Han Dynasty."

Rao knew that he would make such a move sooner or later, but Wei Shuyou still couldn't help but twitch her eyebrows, and said with a frown: "Have you thought about it?"

Changsheng: "As my elder brother said, my biggest wish in the past ten years is to watch the executioner who killed Yebei die with my own eyes. No matter how he died, as long as I can watch him, it is considered a temporary end." One of my wishes has been fulfilled, as for the others, after his death, I will continue to go on.”

Wei Shuyou nodded, and asked again: "What did the person who corresponded with you say?"

Chang Sheng said: "I have already informed him of the time and place of the meeting. I haven't explained anything else yet. We haven't seen each other for ten years. All things need to be discussed in person."

Wei Shuyou said: "That's true... But Shang Yu, although the situation in the Western Han Dynasty is unstable now, you can take advantage of it for the time being, but you still have to remember that no matter who you are, you must not entrust everything in your heart out."

Chang Sheng said, "Yes, I wrote it down."

The two sat opposite each other, speechless for a while.

Wei Shuyou sighed, stood up, thought for a long time, and said: "I will send two hundred hidden guards by your side. If you encounter any danger, take care of yourself first, and they will help you deal with the rest." He Looking at Chang Sheng again, with a serious look, he asked, "Do you remember?"

Chang Sheng raised his head, looked at him with a pair of eyes, and felt that there was a whirlpool in those peach blossom eyes that sucked him in, "Yes, brother."

Wei Qing walked in with the medicine, Chang Sheng said something to him, to the effect that Wei Qing didn't tell Wei Shuyou to take the medicine or something, so he scolded Wei Qing bloody, and the latter held the empty bowl with a mournful face Going down, Wei Shuyou said: "It's getting late today, rest early, the army will leave tomorrow, you should go too."

These words were originally nothing, but Chang Sheng felt a little empty in his heart for a while, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

The two lay down together on the hard bed, Chang Sheng slept inside, Wei Shuyou slept outside, the tent was pitch black, Chang Sheng couldn't fall asleep all the time, Yu Wan Lai suddenly said in the silence: "Brother."

Wei Shuyou didn't answer, Chang Sheng stared at the bed curtain: "I don't know when I will see my brother again after going to Western Han Dynasty. These days, I hope my brother can take good care of himself and don't worry me."

Wei Shuyou turned over, turned her back to Chang Sheng, but still didn't speak.

Chang Sheng continued: "I look forward to the day when I can fight the enemy together with my brother. If there is such a day, I hope that I will protect my brother, just like my brother has protected me for ten years..."

Wei Shuyou finally opened her eyes, looking into the invisible darkness, the corners of her lips were cold.

Chang Sheng put his elbows under his head, turned over and looked at his back, "In this world, I only have my elder brother as a family member, so even if it's for me, you have to take good care of your body."

As he was speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hand and put an arm lightly on Wei Shuyou's waist. He obviously felt that person's figure tightened, but he said nothing, "Go to sleep, we have to go on the road tomorrow."

Wei Shuyou didn't dare to move. At this moment, he felt goosebumps all over his body from his head to the soles of his feet. It was so natural for Chang Sheng to hug him, so natural that he felt that he should hug him like this.

What does this action look like?

Wei Shuyou thought, oh, yes, they are like husband and wife.

He suddenly became dazed, and when Chang Sheng was in a daze, he suddenly asked, "Who gave you that thing you're wearing?"

Before dawn on the second day, the army broke out of camp and began to advance.

One hundred thousand blood alliance guards went to quell the chaos. It is a bit of a fuss to say it. There are only less than [-] remnants of Yandumen Xisha. Now Wei Shuyou has exhausted all his troops. Thought.

On the rear wing of the army, the two threw their horses on the high slope and stood facing each other.

Reaching out her hand to pat the dust on Chang Sheng's shoulder, Wei Shuyou warned: "You must pay attention to safety when you go, and it won't be too late to act when I come back from the border."

Chang Sheng nodded, the cold wind in the morning mist made him hard to keep his eyes open, looked up at the person who was much taller than him, and said: "I will definitely wait for brother."

Wei Shuyou pursed her lips, glanced back and forth on Chang Sheng's face several times, and said, "Be sure to write to me and let me know about your situation."

Chang Sheng smiled and said, "Yes, brother."

Wei Shuyou said again: "The two people who came to the palace last time, if you have any difficulties, you can actually go to them...Shang Yu, the proton will be more reliable."

The smile on Changsheng's mouth slowly froze, as if he didn't expect Wei Shuyou to mention Li Su, and forgot to speak out for a while.

Wei Shuyou said: "He has been looking for you all these years. If he hadn't been greedy for something, he should have given up a long time ago. But Shang Yu, although I don't like this person, he is the person who misses you the most besides me. It can be seen that he treats you... Hey, if you have to, you can go to him, don't hold on."

Chang Sheng stopped looking at him, and said: "I know everything, let's talk about what happens next."

Wei Shuyou hugged him with a smile, stretched her arm slightly, and finally whispered in his ear: "I'm leaving, be careful all the way."

When the sound of horseshoes sounded, people and horses raised a cloud of dust on the road. Chang Sheng watched Wei Shuyou's disappearing figure, and felt an urge to cry for no reason.

Going forward to pat the horse's back, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and the east line was white with iron gray gloom, Chang Sheng looked into the distance for a moment, and murmured: "I'm afraid it's going to rain."

As soon as the words fell, dark clouds overhead followed by thunder, and after a while, the drizzle scattered, making the road ahead muddy.

Just as Chang Sheng started to ride his horse towards the Western Han Dynasty, there was a heavy snowfall in the extreme north of the northern land.

This country that seems to have been forgotten by the four seasons has never seen the world outside the white land.

The cold weather is cold, and the white plum blossoms on the top of the mountain are in full bloom, becoming the only moving vitality in this uninhabited Northland for many years.

His whole body was hidden in the thick hood, covered in frost and snow, and chilled.

The extremely western war horse under his crotch paced back and forth on the snow for a few steps uneasy. He gently reached out and patted the horse's back as a gesture of comfort, then turned to his companion of the same age beside him, and said, "Let's go."

Looking around, there was a piece of white land, and it seemed that the eyes could not reach the end. His voice was indescribably deep in the hurricane, but it was so rich that it made the air-conditioning around him tremble slightly.

Qingjun was wearing a fiery red cloak, and her hair was blown all over the sky with blue hair. She was extremely beautiful, with almond eyes and vermilion lips, and gentle lines. She hung the hood by her side and asked the people around her, "Ping, have you decided?" ?"

Yin Ping hid his face in the hood, smiled lightly, and the horse carried him in circles on the spot, he said: "Since Muchen has already agreed to all our conditions, why not?"

Qingjun pondered, her face was blue from the cold, she couldn't help stretching out her hand to tighten the heavy cloak on her body, and said: "But I always feel that this person is a bit untrustworthy."

Yin Ping took off the hood, revealing that young and handsome face, but on that face, from the brow bone to the forehead, there was a very deep scar, crooked like a centipede, giving him an original elegant face Added three points of ruthlessness.

"Today's north is no longer what it was ten years ago. Mu Chen is old. The wolf king of Zhaoyang in the past didn't have sharp claws, and he was not even as good as a dog. Seeing that the tribes he had bloodbathed are getting stronger one by one, If he can't find a strong attachment, why would he dare to continue living in this northern land?"

He looked towards the end of the sky with a pair of eyes, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes, "I will become his strong attachment, as long as he can agree to my conditions, the Zhaoyang Division can still be in the same place as it was ten years ago." This Northland continues to survive."

Qingjun frowned slightly, and said, "Since you have already made up your mind, let's go."

Yin Ping pulled the horse and walked to her side, pinched her fingertips in the palm of his hand, and said softly: "The road ahead will be very difficult, I don't know if I can live, but Qingjun , I have to bite the bullet and go on.”

Qing Jun nodded and smiled at him, needless to say, it was enough for Yin Ping.

The two horses galloped away side by side, and the horseshoe marks left a long string on the white ground, stretched out, and were buried by the wind and snow in a short while, as if they had never left any traces.
