sunset fever

At night, not long after the team came back, the new tent for treating wounds was set up elsewhere. Therefore, the military doctor's tent was vacated. When many people fell asleep, Chen Bizhen changed into light clothes. There are guards everywhere.

The red beam of fire never goes out all night, and it is prepared for a temporary danger. When he got close, half of the person's face was scorched, even hot. Chen Bichen looked carefully from the outside and made sure that there was no one in the military doctor's tent, so he opened it. Curtain, walked in.

It wasn't too dark inside, the windows were still open, and there was light moonlight coming in, as well as the light from the torches and braziers. The place was simple, and there was no fine bedding on the bed. The thin silk sheet was still from Yan Xiu's time. Brought from Fushan.

There was a bundle under the bed, and a wooden box brought by Yan Xiu, but Chen Bizhen didn't know where the key was. He urgently needed to find real evidence to prove that someone pretended to be witchcraft and did some evil things.

But he was most worried about where the real Yan Xiu was, but in a trance, he felt that he was thinking too much, maybe Yan Xiu really changed his temper.

The wind outside blew the flags on the tents and the leaves of the dwarf trees. Therefore, there were some strange movements. Chen Bizhen searched under the bed and also on the table, and groped under the interlayer of the mattress. He found There is an inconspicuous gap on the bed board, and there is something stuck inside, it is slender, with a plastic flower head, and it is cold.

No matter what, he never expected that it was the gilt lantern hairpin that he had given away.

Chen Bichen looked around, but he couldn't see any place to look for anymore. He was about to go out, but he heard footsteps near the door. He wanted to jump out of the window, but someone outside the door had already come in.

The man was holding an oil lamp, and the light was shining on Chen Bizhen.

The visitor said, "I thought it was a thief."

"I'm here to wait for you," Chen Bizhen put the hairpin into his sleeve, and he didn't panic at all. He sat down on a stool and said, "It's been a long time since I saw you, why are you so indifferent?"

Yan Xiu stepped forward and put the lamp on the corner of the table. He turned his head slightly, with a smile of unknown emotion on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were a little blocked, and he said: "There was no reconciliation that day, it was because you deliberately didn't go with me. Yes, who is to blame?"

Chen Bizhen was dressed in rough clothes and his hair was tied up, his face was full of tiredness, he stood up and walked behind Yan Xiu, his breathing was always gentle, but in fact, he was so alert that the back of his neck was sweating.

The light of the oil lamp was dim, and it burned black smoke that could not be ignored, with a slight burnt smell.

"I think differently from you." When he was speaking, Chen Bizhen gathered strength in his hand, put his fingers on Yan Xiu's waist, and gradually moved upwards, and said, "Obviously you left first and left me behind." .”

"Jiang Niao is gone now. Since you are reluctant to touch her, then don't come to me. After tonight, I will leave Qianling. You and I have nothing to do with each other."

After finishing speaking, Yan Xiu looked down at the hand at his waist, he curled up his mouth and smiled, and stretched out his hand to catch it.

At the next moment that could be touched, Chen Bizhen moved his hand away with great dexterity.

Chen Bizhen was furious, his brows were furrowed, his voice suddenly raised high, and he said: "Since the past friendship is gone, I don't need to keep you. The collar I gave you was just a thought. If you keep it to spoil your interest, why don't you return it to me."

"There is no reason to return what is given away."

Only then did the two really look at each other. With a disheartened expression on his face, Chen Bizhen took a few steps back and said, "Just go as you go. From now on, there will be nothing more to do with each other."

Everything is about to become clear, Chen Bizhen knows that something big has happened, judging by the strength of his hands, this person must have high martial arts skills, but judging by the collar made out of nothing, this person doesn't know the specific things between him and Yan Xiu .

It's just that the recent war has been tense and the time has been delayed. When Chen Bichen got out of the tent, he immediately turned around. He slightly sensed that someone was watching from the gap in the curtain. He took a detour and found a remote place. All asleep.

The scenery of Qianling Mountains has a sense of desolation, but it is gorgeous and soft in spring and summer, and the night with half a moon is vast and quiet.

Chen Bizhen put the lantern and hairpin in his clothes, he might need to find someone to help, but it was unrealistic, and it was not easy to escape in the barracks, everything seemed hopeless.

The only possibility is probably to debunk, but this man is well-organized and calm, and probably has many ways to prevent it.From the day when Chen Bizhen left the team on horseback, he went into the woods, fought, and was coerced...

The only thing that was not under that person's control was Jiangniao who appeared suddenly. No wonder, no wonder he always found all kinds of unreasonable reasons for killing Jiangniao.

Chen Bizhen didn't know whether to be lucky or panic, he could only accept the changeable status quo, he couldn't know where the real Yan Xiu was, whether he was safe or alive.

But there was still a turning point.

There was a sudden strong wind in the middle of the night, and early the next morning, the clouds were heavy, light rain fell, the moist water vapor minus the heat, the smell of earth rose from the grass, and entered the nose domineeringly.

Chen Bizhen saw the soldier in front bowing to a man, so he turned his head to take a closer look, but saw that the man was wearing official clothes and his hair was loose, he was quite relaxed.

It was indeed Chen Taoshao, with his facial features and stature, he didn't match the wildness of the camp at all, and beside him was a man with a cold face and a knife, who should be a close guard.

Chen Bizhen approached, and only then did he dare to speak, he said: "Some words were said in the garden."

"Be your enemy."

The rain was slightly cool, and when it sprayed on his face, even his eyelashes were covered with semi-permeable drops of water. Chen Taoshao became more calm, and he said again: "I am the special envoy of the court, my surname is Li, please go to my tent." , ask some questions."

It's really been a long time since we saw each other. Today, the identities are very different, and I don't know the situation of the other party. I can't choose what to talk about for a while. When the tea is light yellow, Chen Taoshao suddenly said: "I heard about Yan Ziluo's murder. .”

"I don't know." Chen Bizhen said truthfully.

Chen Taoshao said again: "He has already been arrested and sent to the prison in the city. I met him there, but I didn't say a word. After I came back, I heard that the murder was nothing. He is still working as a military doctor here. "

"Prison?"

"Yes, I visited various places with the magistrate that day, but I met him in the dungeon, where all the people who violated the military law were imprisoned."

Chen Butian was really flustered, he clenched his fists tightly and asked, "How is he?"

There was a vibrato in the human breath, and the eyes and mouth were out of order.Chen Bizhen opened his eyes and asked again: "How is he?"

"It's not a place for people to stay. There's no light in the sky. They eat thick noodles and wild vegetables, and their stomachs can't be filled... But the important thing is not these. From my point of view, few people who are locked there will not survive in the end."

Chen Taoshao swallowed half a mouthful of tea soup with his head up, and he also became worried along with Chen Bizhen.

Chen Bichen touched his chin with his fingers, and he went to fetch the cup, but didn't take a sip, as if he was at a loss, and forced himself to calm down, saying: "I can be sure that Yan Xiu here is someone else, I have found the loophole, but I haven't exposed it. He, he said he was leaving Qianling today."

"Of course I brought more than one person with me. It's just that I didn't see it clearly. As long as he takes half a step out of this camp, he will be captured immediately."

Chen Taoshao was still the same as in the past, calm and at ease. He was quick-witted and could think of details, but he felt that he was not as smart as Chen Bizhen, and he didn't have the courage to be both high and low, and he didn't have the courage to serve the people wholeheartedly.

Chen Bizhen stood up, pressed his hands on the table, looked directly into Chen Taoshao's eyes, and said in a low voice, "I have to go to the city, meet him, and rescue him. How could he kill someone? Do you think he will kill someone?" ?”

Chen Taoshao understood, he got up and patted Chen Bizhen's trembling shoulders, then went to the table to spread the paper, and said, "I will write you a letter with you, just show it to them. Seal, they all know."

Chen Bizhen didn't respond, he seemed discouraged, and sat down against the corner of the table, closing his red eyes.

Feeling in danger, mixed with the previous affection, so it was even more embarrassing.

"I know you won't listen, but I still have to tell you that Yiyi, who was sent away by you, is back. She is not used to the life of the people, and she wants to risk her life to go back to the palace to question me. Now she is living in Yuekuo Palace, taking care of herself There was no major change in Chongcheng. Zhong Qingming who was beside you left and went back to live his life as a young master. King Guirong has calmed down a bit. I tried my best to suppress the other forces. Now, for the time being, nothing will happen."

The rain was falling heavily, dripping on the tent, the sound was dense and noisy.

Chen Taoshao wrote words under his hands, and said: "When I endured puzzlement, I realized that some people support you. After all, you should not be discouraged. Your intelligence has kept the country and did not fall into it. In the hands of King Rong."

"In anyone's hands, it's right or wrong." Chen Bizhen said slowly.

"Governing the country is a difficult task, and there are also some accidents that I never expected. If one day you regain the throne, I believe you can do very well."

But Chen Bizhen said: "I can't be a monarch anymore, I can't do it anymore."

He didn't know whether it was a positive and open-minded word, or a negative and self-abandoned word.

"At least, the throne will be passed on to your heir in the end. This is what the emperor wants to see, and it is also a relief to me."

"I will have no children, never will."

Chen Bizhen, who was sitting on the ground, looked into the air, tears rolled down his cheeks, and he raised his hands to wipe them dry.

Chen Taoshao said: "You will eventually return to Yangjing, you can't just be with him—"

"Just with him, what's wrong?"

Chen Taoshao didn't immediately catch Chen Bizhen's words, he sighed after being silent, and only said: "I shouldn't be arguing with you at this time, it seems that I am cruel and gossip."

If you can't persuade him, you won't persuade him anymore. Now that Chen Bizhen, who even wants to give up the throne, is not surprised to make any decision.

The essay was finally finished, and Chen Bizhen went back to the tent to pack his things. He got on the horse in the rain, regardless of the water soaking his body. Fortunately, the rain stopped after half an hour.

Chen Bichen was lucky to have met Chen Taoshao by chance, and he still had a hanging heart in his heart. He hoped that the rain would stop and that everything would be fine for Yan Xiu.

He hoped that the war would end soon, that he and Yan Xiu should settle down, and the people of Qianling should also settle down.

Just before he left, Chen Taoshao asked him: "Why don't you suspect that I arranged for that person to harm you?"

Chen Bizhen replied: "I have experienced so many things together, and I have doubted many people, but I have to... believe in something."
