The Jiangbei camp was stationed at the true extreme north of Daqing. They crossed Youlai Mountain and headed north. Qianlima ran day and night without stopping, and arrived at a barren land where there was no grass. Walk, and a high wall that rises from the ground bounces into view.

However, this did not have any impact on Liu Changzhou who came to carry out the assassination mission.

The night was dark, and when thousands of miles north of Saibei were frozen and snowed, the entire camp was silent, only nine teams of sentries were patrolling back and forth, and the "creak" sound of military boots stepping on the snow had been completely mixed into the background sound. Not noticeable.

Liu Changzhou climbed up the tower lightly, hid in the shadow of the corner of the tower, and checked the internal structure of the entire camp.The structure of the camp is clear and clear. The commander's camp is located in the center of the entire camp, and there are several smaller tents on the outside, a total of nine, which are exactly the tents of the commanders of the nine sub-camps under the commander's command. Diffusion, into a concentric circle structure has been diffused to the outermost.In addition, these concentric circle structures with diameters ranging from small to large are also divided into nine parts by several roads radiating from the center of the circle, which are clearly separated from each other.

Nine sentry teams shuttled back and forth between the camps, and these sentry teams patrolled around the nine parts respectively.After all, Jiang is still hot, Liu Changzhou found that the timing of the nine teams of sentries was very coincidental - the last team of sentries happened to bypass the commander's camp, and within a quarter of an hour after leaving, the second team would come back The other direction bypasses the general's tent again.The entire general's account is under the watchful eye of the sentinel almost all the time.

Liu Changzhou moved his somewhat cold feet, jumped and rolled on the ground, and when a group of sentries passed through the corner where he was hiding, he suddenly covered the mouth and nose of that person from behind, and after being knocked unconscious, he dragged him lightly to the corner. He took off his night clothes twice, put on his armor, and pretended to follow the tail of the sentinel that hadn't gone far.

When the group of sentries approached the general's tent, Liu Changzhou slipped in quietly.

"It's time?" An old voice suddenly exploded in the darkness, and then a dim oil lamp was lit, and a pale-haired old general sat upright in front of the table.

The old general's gray hair was neatly tied into a bundle, which made his face rosy and energetic.It was late at night, but he was very neatly dressed, and his helmet was placed on the table in front of him, as if he was waiting for a certain ceremony that was destined to come.

Liu Changzhou let go of all his guard, and showed the most correct attitude of a junior to his elders, and said respectfully: "Old General Xili, I have admired his name for a long time, and Liu Changzhou, an unknown soldier, came to pay a visit late at night. I hope you will forgive me."

As soon as Chu Lihao stretched out his hand, he said kindly as usual: "I'll wait for a long time, sit down. Is your father's name Liu Jiang?"

Liu Changzhou: "Return to what the general said, that's right."

Chu Lihao went on to say: "The commander-in-chief has been defending the border outside. Counting now, it has been ten years in a flash. I am the oldest old thing sent by the late emperor to guard the border. I can still breathe until now. Liao Xuan is the second. The youngest, but the earliest to die. I was in Saibei, west of Liaoxuan Town, supplemented by Pingnanjiang, and now I am the only one who died. At my age, I still don’t understand the little emperor’s troubles. What is the intention? Your father is clever. Back then, your father said nothing and made the first emperor angry. Do you know why the Daqing Navy can't help it? Because there is no Liujiang River on the East China Sea. A bum with practical knowledge."

Liu Changzhou stood straight on the spot, unconsciously standing up straighter.

Chu Lihao picked up the helmet in front of him with both hands, took a deep breath, put it on his head slowly, took his saber, and stood up from the desk.He sighed and said, "Boy, do you know what those of us on the border are looking for?"

He didn't wait for Liu Changzhou to answer, he asked himself and answered: "Our request is very simple. We ask for someone to die well. Liao Xuan's death was the brightest, and he died dignifiedly on the battlefield; although Fu Zhi was scraped to death by the late emperor, but Is there anyone in the world who doesn't know the drama of "rabbit dead dog cooking"? Then look at me, what's the matter with me? Before he died, he had to recite the title of "rebel". That kid in Liujiang insisted on running away I don’t know what kind of poison I am learning now.”

Liu Changzhou said: "Father Fang came back from southern Xinjiang, and he is now in Huarong."

Chu Lihao was taken aback, smiled shortly, and said, "That bastard really went to southern Xinjiang."

He grabbed the general's seal from the book case, put it in the middle of the book case with a "boom", and said vicissitudes of life: "I think I will walk into the history annals like this, and occasionally I will not be reconciled. But compared to writing it in the history annals, I will The blood and sweat of my father rubbed into the ground under my feet one step at a time, and as long as Daqing exists, I will be able to stand upright."

Then he shouted in a very loud voice: "Come on! Bring those fleas up!"

Then the camp tent was opened, and five people with their hands and feet bound were pushed in, their faces colorful and in a state of embarrassment.Chu Lihao turned his head, pointed to himself, and said, "Boy, take care, this is my last contribution to Daqing." As soon as he finished speaking, the old general pulled out his saber suddenly with a skill that did not match his age, swung it Rounding his arms, he swung his arms wide open and closed, and slid across the necks of the five people kneeling on the ground one by one. He quickly put the knife back into its sheath, and then lowered his eyelids.

The blood sprayed from the necks of the five people was ten feet high, and the blood mist splashed all the way to the roof of the tent, soaking a large area of ​​land, and also wet Liu Changzhou's armor along the way.

When Xi Lihao waved his hand, those corpses were dragged down.He walked back to the desk, picked up the wine glass, raised his neck and drank it all, leaving only one sentence before falling to the ground.

"One emperor, one courtier... minister."

Liu Changzhou froze on the spot for a moment, and performed a martial arts salute in an upright manner, in order to defend the dignity of a general for Chi Lihao until the last moment before his death - wherever the long sword is directed, it must be a demon.

He thought for a while, picked up a pen and wrote a few words on a piece of white paper as his elegiac couplet:

Heavier than Mount Tai.

The camp horn blew suddenly, and it was dawn.

The frontier fortress is bleak, but Huarong's yamen ushered in a big happy event - imperial envoy Fang Bingbi and Liu Changbin are going to get married.The wedding was extremely simple, and there were very few people present. Apart from the wedding parties, there were also Liu Jiang, Zhu Dianyi, Du Heng, Jin Dou, and Xiao Hong.Lu Hanzhang is not counted, Lu Hanzhang is half dead right now, comatose on the couch and hasn't woken up yet.

Originally, Fang Bingbi insisted on waiting for Liu Changzhou to come back, but his quasi-father-in-law disagreed.Liu Jiang didn't know what kind of crazy he was, and he insisted that the young couple get married now.He was even so anxious that he personally went to the clothing store to order big red clothes for the two of them, as if he was the one who got married. This behavior of the emperor not rushing the eunuchs was only supported by one person—the widow Zhu order clothes.

Zhu Dianyi relied on the fact that she had been married once and had a lot of experience, so she took Liu Changzheng to sit in front of the mirror in a serious manner, and she was busy painting her eyebrows and lips all morning, and she was very busy.

Du Heng said he couldn't understand it, but he was happy to see it succeed.Not only did the bitch not help, but she hid in the kitchen with Jin Dou, picking a piece of meat here and a piece of candy there, eating and stealing happily.

Liu Jiang acted quite strangely, Fang Bingbi wanted to give him a big gift as a son-in-law, but he waved away with one hand, the bride Liu Changbin stretched out his hand unceremoniously, pinched her father's face one by one, and said angrily: "You're rushing to reincarnate, aren't you? I'll go home and sue you with my mother, old man."

Liu Jiang slapped away her hands with blood-red nails, pretending to say: "It's not big or small, how decent is it! This is a woman, and she's still my mother, what does she look like?" He He lowered his head and took out a crystal-clear amber bead from his bosom for a long time. The bead was as big as Xiaohong, and a thread like auspicious cloud was inlaid in it. It was blood red and very red. dazzling.

He ignored Chang Li who had been making grimaces, and held the bead into her palm with an unusually dignified expression, and then lightly patted her on the top of her head a few times, without saying anything, and then pushed her behind her, everyone During the day, he forced the young couple into the bridal chamber.

Everyone:"……"

After everyone dispersed, Liu Jiang and Zhu Dianyi went to the room where Lu Hanzhang was unconscious in the backyard.

Just now all the expressions on Liu Jiang's face disappeared without a trace, and he picked up a knife in his left hand and cut the scar on his original wrist.Zhu Dianyi stopped him and said, "Who else do you want to give? Who knows if you will wake up later, this kind of thing is more dangerous after all."

Liu Jiang paused, tilted his head and thought for a long time, then smiled indifferently, and said, "Tell my old lady that there are no yellow peaches in the ground, only me."

Zhu Dianyi nodded, took the knife and slashed the same knife on Lu Hanzhang's wrist.Liu Jiang folded the wound on his wrist closely with Lu Hanzhang, nodded, slightly parted his lips, and said softly: "Ten years." After that, he closed his eyes and lay on Lu Hanzhang's side, without any other words. movement.

The green snake on his cane coiled up very neatly, tightly intertwining the hands of the two of them, and it tended to become tighter and tighter.

There are always some unexplainable phenomena in the world, such as now.

A faint red light slowly emerged from the joint between the two wrists, and the red light gradually increased until it was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.He listened carefully, and there was a sound of liquid flowing rapidly in his ear.

Lu Hanzhang, who was in a coma, suddenly frowned, and unconsciously clenched the corners of his mouth, as if his whole body was in some kind of extreme pain.The water vapor produced by the collision between the medicine carried in the foreign blood and the poison in his meridians was continuously produced, covering his whole body in a white halo, and the bean-sized sweat dripped continuously from his forehead, soaking it all up. Clean white neckline.

Liu Jiang's face was serene, but his hair instantly turned snow-colored at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, his originally slightly wrinkled skin seemed to shrink, and many ravines and wrinkles quickly appeared in the blink of an eye. The bitter taste of the medicine also gradually weakened, and finally disappeared almost completely.

The green snake entangled in the hands of the two seemed to be the transfer of blood between the two, and the snake's original blue skin gradually deepened, turning black bit by bit. Looking closer, one could almost see the green snake under the snake's skin. Rapid expansion of flowing Qi and blood.

After about half a cup of tea, the color of the green snake began to gradually recover, and the strange red light gradually faded, and then the whole room returned to calm.

Outside the window, the north wind, wrapped in snowflakes, slammed open the door, and there was a very light landing sound in the yard.Zhu Dianyi turned his head, and Liu Changzhou appeared in the backyard with a cloth bag in his left hand. The corner of his clothes brushed the arc of the north wind, and walked over step by step.The corners of the mouth, which were always raised inadvertently in the past, were unconsciously flattened, and the arcs at the end of the eyes disappeared. The tall, thin figure was a little out of shape for a while, and wrapped in the wind and snow, it seemed that it was difficult for others to get close to, and it was aloof and dusty. mean.

Liu Changzhou reached for the overlapping wrists of the two people on the couch with one hand, and it was hot and cold as expected.He put the cloth bag in his other hand on Liu Jiang's chest, and opened the cloth bag in twos and threes, revealing a human head.

He rubbed his eyebrows, smiled lightly, and said, "It just so happens that these two old things are still friends."

"Your father asked me to leave you a word. He said 'ten years'. Lu Hanzhang's poison has penetrated into the bone marrow. The medicine in his body is only enough to eliminate the poison in Lu Hanzhang's meridians, and there is no way to penetrate the bone marrow."

After Zhu Dianyi said these words calmly, she didn't know whether she felt that people like Liu Changzhou didn't need to be comforted, or she felt that she was stupid and couldn't comfort others, so she simply turned around and left.

Liu Changzhou stood silently, feeling that some inexplicable things in his chest were gradually disintegrating, and some things that he had hesitated and doubted in the past suddenly rose a thousand feet, and his heels were firmly planted in his heart. You have to believe in it—some people you meet, some things you experience, teach him not to be obsessed with life and death.

It seems that it only takes a moment for a person to grow up. Before this moment, he can express his emotions unscrupulously, and after a moment, he suddenly knows how to express emotions without a teacher.

After the Liujiang River was incinerated, the brother and sister Liu Changzhou and Liu Changbin expressed the meaning of "I'm fine" by coincidence.But the "goodness" of these two people is not on the same level, Chang Li is so good as a disguise, this silly girl seems to be unable to accept the fact that her father is gone after she got married, she seems to be shocked, and does not Not really calm down.

Fang Bingbi was so patient that he stayed by her side, waiting for the girl to cry with a long reflex.

Liu Changzhou was really "good". He unfolded the imperial decree that had just arrived at the Yamen, and read it emphatically: "...General Liu Changzhou, holding the sword..."

When we parted, it was suddenly right in front of us.

It has been ten days since Lu Hanzhang woke up. At the dawn of the morning light, the moment he opened his eyes, he felt a kind of ease that was dismantled by the creator, and then reassembled according to the previous time. Those shadows of suffocation Feeling silently backed away, the vibration from the position of his heart made him not know what day and night it was.He leaned on the bed board to sit up, and found a red mark on his wrist, and... a piece of blue snakeskin.

He connected the cause and effect, and unexpectedly guessed the process with eight or nine.

Then there was a sound of horseshoes in the yard.

Liu Changzhou pushed open the door lightly, and saw him laying down and putting on his shoes.His eyelashes flickered up and down a few times, and then he smiled slowly: "Are you awake? Come and give me a ride."

Lu Hanzhang remained silent for a while, confused about the current situation.Waking up from a coma after a fight with longevity, he suddenly heard the news that the person in front of him was about to leave. He was a little flustered, and his eyes, which were always lazy and half-closed, opened slightly wider, with black and white eyeballs. It is full of confusion and confusion.

Liu Changzhou seemed to know what he was thinking, so he took out a bright yellow roll from his cuff, shook it back and forth without respect, and said, "The general's home field is at the border." He lowered his head again, As if afraid of waking up, the voice was very soft, "Hey, can you wait for me to come back?"

The first thought that slipped through Lu Hanzhang's mind was - the general will inevitably die before the battle.

So he said, "Wait."

The two walked under a big tree that seemed to be struck to death by lightning. Lu Hanzhang had already sent him to the ground and had to stop, so he said to Liu Changzhou who was on the horse: "Okay, get out of here."

Liu Changzhou leaned down and stuck to the horse's back, hugged the horse's neck childishly, hooked his fingers at Lu Hanzhang, and said, "Do you have any wishes? I will try my best to satisfy you."

Lu Hanzhang thought for a while, leaned over, and said, "Give me a kiss."

Liu Changzhou smiled, and suddenly grabbed Lu Hanzhang's armpit and dragged him onto the horse's back, told him to sit sideways in front of him, and without giving him any time to react, he picked up his chin and kissed him. The soft touch on the top is no longer the pitiful coldness before, the teeth that the tip of the tongue glides over and the mouth has a certain intoxicating fragrance, and every lingering and tossing makes people unable to help but sink deeper into the addiction.

Lu Hanzhang bit the tip of his tongue, ended the kiss that seemed to be giving up, and pulled him into his arms with his shoulders, hugged him tightly, and whispered: "I seem to know your wish .”

Liu Changzhou quietly pressed against his aching chest, and whispered softly, "Tell me?"

"Ma Zhen."

"……roll!"

This unexpected little joke dilutes the faint sadness that has been surrounding the two of them since just now.Liu Changzhou thought about it, and felt that there was no need to do this at all. After all, Huarong was not far from Jiangbei Daying. When he missed him, he wrote a letter. When he missed him very much, he could see him in a day.And this breakup is different from the last time, he knows that Lu Hanzhang is there, and he can give him countless supports and strengths just by standing there without saying a word.

He heard the person above his head hesitantly say: "Your father..."

Liu Changzhou paused, looked into the distance, smiled slowly, and said nonsense half-truthfully: "He asked me to thank him for him, saying that your existence allowed him to die in peace. Hey, I have a consultation with you." Well, can you give me all your thanks to your father-in-law?"

Lu Hanzhang understands the implication - even if his body is riddled with holes, even if he is always thrown into a corner by the ruthless world, fighting to smash his body to pieces, he must maintain the last ounce of dedication to sincerity.

So he smiled and said, "Okay."

Just at this time, a ray of light pierced through the clouds and pierced Weiyang's long night, covering Youlai Mountain behind him with a layer of warmth, and a crystal clear drop of water suddenly dripped from the frosted white grass under his feet——

The sky is high and the earth is far away, Yue Lichuan flows, and the behavior of a gentleman is exposed.
