[Rebirth] General waiting for my return

Wanli Temple.

Tan Muqiu was sitting opposite Wuyun, and there were two glasses of white water and two boxes of snacks on the low table between them.That snack was brought by Zhao Duanwu earlier.

Tan Muqiu frowned, with bitterness and hatred on his face.

"If Your Majesty knows how to let nature take its course, you won't have these troubles." Wu Yun said.

Tan Muqiu smiled wryly, looked at Wuyun for a while, and suddenly asked, "You didn't call me Your Majesty before, why did you change your name now?"

"In the past, Your Majesty didn't have the air of a son of heaven, and he only thought about his own world. The poor monk naturally called him a benefactor. Now that His Majesty has rivers and mountains in his chest, he naturally has to change his mouth." Wuyun said.

"But I don't feel that I have any rivers and mountains in my chest." Tan Muqiu said truthfully.

"Your Majesty made a choice the day he returned from Guzhou." Wuyun said.

"I just have nowhere to go." Tan Muqiu said.

"The world is so big that you can live anywhere, but Your Majesty chose to return to the Central Capital." Wu Yun said again.

Tan Muqiu sighed heavily, and said: "To tell you the truth, I am unable to shoulder this burden, and now I just want to quickly hand over this burden to someone who can bear it."

"Your Majesty is referring to King Ning An?" Wu Yun asked.

"Yes." Tan Muqiu said: "In my opinion, there is no other person in this world who can take on this country more than him."

Wuyun smiled and said nothing.

"You don't believe it?" Tan Muqiu asked when he saw that Wuyun didn't care.

Wuyun said: "The poor monk and King Ning'an have very little contact, so I dare not make a judgment. It's just that according to the current situation, His Majesty has no choice. It's better to let nature take its course. Since you are sitting on the dragon chair, Just do what needs to be done."

Qin Muqiu was silent for a long while, then suddenly said: "You are so smart, why don't you enter the palace. You used to be a guest of the prince, although I don't know why you became a monk, but this Wanli Temple is really meaningless except for the beautiful scenery."

Wu Yun gave a wry smile, and said: "The poor monk is very dull, he really deserves His Majesty's praise."

Qin Muqiu also knew that he was taking it for granted, the boringness of the imperial palace was really more unbearable than this Wanli Temple.

"I want to hear from you... what happened to me in the past." Tan Muqiu said.

Wuyun stared at him for a while, smiled, and said: "You can't get what you want in the past, you can't get what you want now, you can't get what you want in the future. Please don't be persistent, Your Majesty."

"I just want to know why he wanted to kill me." Tan Muqiu said.

Wuyun was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to speak so directly.

Tan Muqiu said again: "You knew I was not Li Yu the first time you saw me, but now do you know who I am?"

Wu Yun clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty has always been His Majesty, the poor monk doesn't want to know anything else."

Tan Muqiu smiled wryly and said, "It's not that you don't want to know, maybe you already know. You, like that stinky Taoist priest, can predict the future. The stinky Taoist priest said that he would deny me, so he let me go." Qin Muqiu said he meant It was Li Jin.

Wu Yun's almost invisible eyebrows and eyes moved slightly, and then said: "Your Majesty needs to know that a wise man is a wise man, and letting nature take its course is the way of heaven."

"I'm not a wise man, and I don't know the way of heaven." Tan Muqiu sighed heavily, and said, "Although you live in this monastery, you talk like a Taoist or a monk."

Wuyun smiled wryly and said: "The poor monk originally became a monk on the way, but His Majesty revealed the truth with one word."

Tan Muqiu couldn't help being a little discouraged when he saw that Wuyun was just talking about him blindly, as if he didn't want to let him pursue the past.However, there is one thing he is almost sure of, Wuyun should know that he is Tan Muqiu, but he doesn't know how.

Did Zhao Qingming tell Wuyun?Tan Muqiu recalled the details of getting along with Zhao Qingming, and quickly concluded that the other party did not know his identity, otherwise he would not have such a big reaction to his death.

Zhao Qingming really didn't know it at first, because he never dared to think about it.

However, now that I think about it, it is easy to draw conclusions.

Zhao Qingming remembered that Li Yu seemed to have suddenly become another person on that day more than two months ago.From a gloomy, indifferent, and deep-minded person, he became an impulsive, willful, and disorganized person.

Zhao Qingming remembered that day, when the other party saw him, he fell down, and went to the deserted courtyard to look at the maple tree after he fell down.Later, the other party let him enter the Ninghe Hall, gave him tea, and gave him half of the bitten red bean cake.This was something that had never happened for many years, and it was also this incident that made Zhao Qingming suspect that Li Yu had changed himself.

Later, the other party said that he was going to Guzhou, and he completely left it to himself. He had inexplicable trust in himself and was unprepared.

If none of the above can prove that this person is Tan Muqiu, then all the following things can prove it: the other party once complained that his body can't even hold a halberd now, and the halberd is Tan Muqiu's weapon; At that time, the other party was very familiar with everyone in the army; when the other party was in Guzhou, he gave himself a jade bow, but few people knew that he was good at using bows and arrows; Can't do it; the other party didn't intend to reveal that day, that he knew Zhao Duanwu before; and that day the other party hugged the wooden box and cried...

When he arrived at Wanli Temple, Zhao Qingming remembered that the other party seemed to have said that day that he went to Guzhou to save a person's life, and that person would die in the battle of Guzhou.

The person who died in the Battle of Guzhou was Tan Muqiu.

Did he go to Guzhou to prevent "his" death?

He would rather return to the Changning Army and become a general than stay by his side as an emperor in Zhongdu.He has never even revealed his identity. He is close at hand, but his heart is far away. In his heart, he no longer has the slightest place for himself.

Zhao Qingming suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and couldn't help but want to cry.

He stood at the gate of the monastery, worried about the other party's injury, and wished he could run in, but he was too timid to see the other party.

Wanli Temple is still Wanli Temple, but only a few days later, Zhao Qingming's mood when he stepped into it again was completely different from before.

Shangwai was stunned when he saw Zhao Qingming, and then stepped forward and pulled him to vent his bitterness.Unexpectedly, Zhao Qingming asked him one step ahead, "Who hurt him?"

Shang waited for a moment, and said, "Who is that? Did Duan Wu talk nonsense? His Majesty fell off his horse. His arm was injured, but it's not very serious."

Zhao Qingming calmed down a little after hearing the words, and asked again: "It's not like your Majesty has never ridden a horse before, so why did Duanduan fall off?"

"I also wondered. The horse ran faster today, but it didn't go crazy. His Majesty fell down when he tilted his body. I was right behind, and I could see clearly, but it scared me to death." Wait.

Zhao Qingming frowned and said nothing.At this time, I saw Tan Muqiu walking over from a distance.

"Your Majesty." The two saluted Tan Muqiu at the same time.

"General Zhao is healed?" Tan Muqiu glanced at Zhao Qingming and asked casually.

"The minister has recovered." Zhao Qingming said.

"That's good." Tan Muqiu said and walked out of the temple.Shang waited to take the first step to get the horse, Zhao Qingming followed Tan Muqiu, his eyes were fixed on the other's arm, the other's wound was obviously bandaged, but the clothes were still stained with blood.

At the gate of the temple, Tan Muqiu said, "Is Hongfeng okay?"

"Very good." Zhao Qingming said: "Hongfeng grew up in Zhongdu. This is its hometown. It must be happy to be back."

Tan Muqiu glanced back at Zhao Qingming, seeing that his expression was normal, he hummed lightly and said nothing.

On the way back to the palace, Zhao Qingming followed closely behind the other party. He thought in his heart that from now on, he would never let the other party fall off his horse again.Li Yu usually lived in seclusion and neglected to practice martial arts. Naturally, his physique was much worse than that of Qin Muqiu. In the future, he had to urge him to practice martial arts in a timely manner.

When approaching the gate of the palace, Tan Muqiu took out a face towel from his arms and tied it on.Zhao Qingming was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that the other party could always remember it when he wasn't there to remind him.

Shangwai was not punished in any way by accident, and went back to duty after thanking him.Zhao Qingming followed Tan Muqiu all the way back to Ninghe Hall, and then stood outside the hall without following him.Just like before Tan Muqiu came, he stood there motionless.

It's just that what was kept there before was a body, but now a heart is added to what is kept there.

Zhao Qingming has been standing in the same place for more than seven years, and he has never been so happy and satisfied as he is today.Even if the person in the temple doesn't have him in his heart, even if the person's heart in the temple is thousands of miles away, as long as that person is still alive, he feels good.

Tan Muqiu felt inexplicably restless, and this trip to Wanli Temple did not solve the doubts in his heart.Wuyun's words did not have no effect on him, but so far, he has not readily accepted this identity, and he still cannot let go of his own death.

He wanted to know why Li Yu wanted to kill him, and this question was like a thread, entangled more and more tightly in his heart.If he doesn't solve this question, sooner or later his heart will be strangled.

He spread paper on the desk, and started to draw a plum branch.Suddenly remembered the unfinished picture of ink plums that day, and vaguely remembered that Yanji seemed to mention something on it, but I don't know what it was mentioned.It was originally intended to be left for Li Jin to inscribe, and I don't know if the other party saw the painting in the end.

Rong An rubbed ink beside him, stretching his head to watch him draw, but he didn't know if he could understand.

"Looking back at Lidong, we'll put more plums outside the hall. What's the fun if we don't look at plums in winter?" Tan Muqiu said.

"It's no fun not seeing plum blossoms in winter." Rong An said.

"Nonsense, if you don't look at plum blossoms in winter, you can also look at snow." Tan Muqiu said.

Rong An smiled and didn't talk back.Tan Muqiu held the pen for a long while and didn't put it down, and suddenly said: "Go and see if General Zhao has left? If he hasn't left, let him come into the hall and stand there, it's so cold outside."
