Gu Qingci

I don't know why recently, Ye Lai Youmeng always sees me in the previous life, and then breaks out in a cold sweat.It was a pretty scary thing, because I didn't want to face my previous life.That me, crazy, paranoid, restless and sensitive.

When I was awakened once, Liu Yueying happened to be beside me. When I saw her face, I had a sense of unreality as if I had passed away, and I was not sure which time and space I was in.

"Xiao worry?" My movement was too big, which woke her up.

Only some candlelight from outside the bed curtain came in, and it was very dim. Her hand touched my forehead covered in cold sweat: "What's wrong with you?" Her tone was inexplicably anxious.

Liu Yueying, did I really meet you?Could all this be just a dream?Great fear shrouded the top of her head, a chill came down her back, and she threw herself on her body.

"Your Majesty, you slap me." I said slowly.

The aroma of light plum and sandalwood gradually floats from the nose to the mind-this smell has been integrated into my blood, and I will never forget it as long as I live.

"Xiao Lu is a nightmare." Her cheek was gently caressed by her hand, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"I'm here" these three words instantly grasped my wandering heart firmly and returned to its original position.

Closing his eyes and hugging her, feeling her body temperature, what appeared in front of his eyes were some scenes from the nightmare just now, but now it is not so scary.

I am so close to my god.

Her warm breath lingered around me, dispelling all the restlessness and shrinking in the dark night, enough to make me bow down and worship sincerely.

There is a pot of wine among the flowers, and the vegetation provokes dew.

In the middle of the night, Sha Yu sat on the ground, and some water droplets stuck to her gauze robe.A pair of bewitching eyes lost focus, looking at the sky full of stars aimlessly.

Footsteps sounded from behind.

"Hello." Without turning around, he already knew who was coming.The man walked to his side and sat down casually.

"You've been a little bit out of sorts lately." Mu Diezhi and Sha Yu sat side by side, and spoke after deliberation.

"Something's not right? — It seems that there is something wrong." Sha Yu raised his head and poured a glass of wine, "Come on, Xiaodie will drink with me."

Mu Diezhi watched the mellow liquid slip into the wine glass, and said, "Don't worry about the emperor and Yangli, you have to go to the palace for a while, why, you will practice Zen and realize the truth when you come back once?"

"No way," Sha Yu pouted slightly, "How can Xiaodie be so vicious, haven't you been to the imperial palace?"

"If it wasn't for your face, who would want to go there," Mu Diezhi snorted disdainfully, "I never give treatment to high-ranking officials, let alone the emperor, look at how big a precept I have broken. "

"Xiao Die is really noble." Sha Yu took another sip of wine, narrowing her eyes, "I went to the palace to meet Yang Lu, just to prove something and get a result..."

"Get the result?"

"Got it." Sha Yu chuckled, then raised her head to look up at the stars in the sky.

"What's the matter?" Mu Die rarely saw Sha Yu wanting to talk, so he couldn't help asking.

The corners of the stinky woman's eyes curled up, Danfeng seemed to have thought of some bad idea, she pointed to her lips and said, "Give me a sip of wine, and I'll tell you."

Mu Diezhi glanced at her, took the wine glass and brought it to Sha Yu's mouth with both hands, but saw her licking her lips, narrowing her eyes and saying, "Well, that's not how you feed~"

Sha Yu quickly stuck out his tongue and hooked it, then quickly retracted it into his mouth.

"Bah! Shameless!" Mu Die put the wine glass back on the table heavily, blushing.

"Hahahaha..." Sha Yu smiled and bent over, his eyes formed two arcs, and rubbed his hands on his stomach for a long time.

Mu Diezhi was sullen, and when Sha Yu finally stopped laughing, he cleared his throat and said, "You come here every night to watch the stars, what do you see?"

"I always felt that something was going to happen, but...the stars haven't given me the answer these days." After she succeeded, the stinky woman propped her head up with her hands.

"Don't pretend to be sad, you, a famous magic stick, can't see it, let alone other people!"

Sha Yu smiled without saying a word, and poured a glass of wine by himself.The fireflies around gradually emerged, and the occasional cicadas rang from a distance.

She raised one hand and pointed at the constellations in the sky, as if she was gesticulating something, and suddenly asked: "Xiaodie, what is reincarnation?"

Mu Die went to the entrance of a glass of wine, but Sha Yu didn't expect Sha Yu to ask this abruptly. After thinking for a while, he said, "Samsara, work at sunrise and rest at sunset, it's the interaction of the sun and the moon; cold comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter hides." , is the change of seasons."

"Too."

"Now I can't understand you more and more, so tell me, what is reincarnation?"

The beautiful eyes lost their focus for a moment, and then regained their clarity in an instant.

"Reincarnation is the passing and birth of life. There are endless generations of life, and Jiang Yue is only similar year after year." Sha Yu said seriously.

Mu Die was stunned, and said hesitantly: "This is inheritance, not reincarnation. It's like the blood in the tendons, flowing all over the body, and finally returning to the heart, which is a reincarnation. How can it be called reincarnation if you will never see your ancestors?"

Sha Yu suddenly laughed, clapped his hands and said, "Xiaodie, you are right, you are so right! Only when descendants meet their ancestors can they be called reincarnation..."

Her excitement was only for a moment, and soon died down.Mu Diezhi reluctantly snatched the wine glass from Sha Yu's hand: "Drink less, I'm going crazy again."

Sha Yu stood up from a carp on the ground, looked at the night sky again and was about to go back to the house, but suddenly found that among the stars, a star in the center suddenly brightened.She thought she had read it wrong, rubbed her eyes hard, pinched her palm and read it again.

"The energy of Emperor Star has become stronger?!" Sha Yu was a little surprised.

The star's light became more and more dazzling, and when it was about to touch the surrounding stars, it disappeared into nothingness, leaving only a halo.

The night sky dimmed again, and the stars settled down like jewels in the night, as if nothing had happened.

"What will happen if the Emperor Star's energy becomes stronger?" Mu Diezhi asked curiously.

Sha Yu drank the remaining liquid in the jug, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said: "The Emperor Star has become stronger and the Qiang barbarians have declined, which is a good thing for the common people. But...how come there is a halo, Make the surrounding stars darken?" His fingers brushed his lips subconsciously, as if he was talking to himself: "There must be no mistakes, and I can only get a glimpse of one or two when I go back and look through the classics."

I haven't mentioned the second line of the canal for a long time. Because this line has to bypass the high mountains north of Rongcheng, it has been very difficult since the start of construction.The Ministry of Industry proposed four or five proposals in a row. I discussed with Zhang Yi and the Water Conservancy Department for a long time, and finally selected the most suitable one.

The second-line supervisors were methodical. The detour had already been dug in half. When the mountain was completely bypassed, the rest of the process would be much faster.

At the same time, I secretly made plans about Nanban.Nanman is close to Jiangnan County, and the tributaries of the Jiahe River will soon flow into Nanman's area.

Wouldn't it be great if the Nanman were brought down in the future and the canal was extended there?Many unusable swamps in Nanban will be turned into navigable waterways, and the rich products there can be transported to Daxing very well.

So, I squeezed out time to map the direction of the canal in Nanman, and searched for a lot of information about the terrain of Nanman, but I did it secretly without telling anyone.

In the summer of the eighth year of Tianjia, Xiao Chu led an army deep into the rear, and finally beheaded the head of Xiangshang, the leader of the Northern Qiang.When the tribes that were still fighting in the corner heard the news, they surrendered one after another.

Daxing finally completely wiped out the huge tribe that had harassed Beizhen and threatened the border defense for nearly a hundred years, and there will be no more "Northern Qiang" in history.

This is what was recorded in later generations: "In the eighth year of the emperor, the threat of Pingbei Qiang was garrisoned in the grassland. All tribes competed to be ministers, envoys and chariots flocked in an endless stream, and the rare cattle and sheep of tribute outside the (Rong) city gate were overflowing. The people steal at night, and no one asks for the crime."

Liu Yueying quickly dispatched Daxing's troops to various tribes on the grassland. Residents of the four towns in the north cheered with their hands and lit bonfires every night, singing and dancing, and the thick smoke could still be seen until the next morning.

General Xiao Chu, who had been fighting in the north for four years, finally returned with his army.

I thought there would be no more accidents, but before Xiao Chu entered Beizhen Pass, he was assassinated by a group of uninvited guests.Xiao Chu's young general, after winning a big victory, became complacent and negligent.The assassin took him by surprise and seriously injured Xiao Chu's right arm, and he didn't know when he would be able to wield his spear again.

What happened to those assassins was that they were shot to death by random arrows from the lieutenants, and none of them escaped.Everyone speculated that it should be the dead man of the leader of the Northern Qiang who hit the stone with an egg in the end, fighting for the fish to die.

The day before Xiao Chu led the army back to Rongcheng, Liu Yueying said to me: "Yang Li, the Yuqi army went to investigate in detail outside the customs, and they got something new." The dead soldiers left behind by the Northern Qiang are... the people of General Nangong."

I was really surprised to hear this, but the surprise didn't last long.Seeing Xiao Chu's outstanding military exploits, after returning to the capital, the emperor might abandon Nangong even more, and his status was in jeopardy, so naturally he had to find a way to contain Xiao Chu.

"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate to spread this matter, and it's better to use the Northern Qiang dead soldiers as an excuse to the outside world."

She didn't change her face: "I think so too. People from Nangong seriously injured Xiao Chu's right arm, and it's too late for me to thank him." Liu Yueying seemed to be talking about something ordinary.

He suddenly remembered that he went to the House of Internal Affairs to check the accounts the day before, and the father-in-law there wanted to send someone to deliver the ointment rewarded by the emperor to Xiao Chu in advance, saying that it was a high-quality ointment developed by the emperor's special order Wu Xia to assist the Tai Hospital.

Thinking back now, Liu Yueying would have done well not to let Wu Xia tamper with the ointment, why would she assist in the development.In all likelihood, in Xiao Chu's grateful ointment, there are some things that make the wound heal slowly.

The next day, Xiao Chu returned to Beijing, and received extremely grand praise and rewards from Liu Yueying.

The second-rank Zhenguo General was promoted again, and became the first-rank Hussar General.The young general was dazzled by the strong holy will, and he couldn't help feeling ecstatic.
