Biganchun
Chapter 54
The north wind blows the ground, the crows sing, and the moonlight is thin.
In a blink of an eye, it has entered the twelfth lunar month.In Yanzhou City, every day when the sun sets, it is already chilling to the bones.If the fire in the house is not turned on quickly, it will be difficult to endure at night.
In the side room in the backyard of Jinglue Mansion, Qingcheng Fuyi came to the case, looking forward with lowered eyebrows.Under the candlelight in front of the window, a piano lies horizontally, and the seven strings are silent, as if telling the passing of time.
Jade pot ice.The slender small seal script is tactfully on the body of the piano, as if it still carries the fragrance of old books in the Hall of Ruisi.On Qin's body, there were red spots like plum rain, all of which were the marks left by her when she fought with her life that night.
... Su Guang, my heart, can you see it? ...
...Suguang, have you really entrusted all the love in your life to others? ...
She held her breath, sighed slowly, and pushed Qin aside.
With a sound of Ga Yo, the door was pushed open, and Zhan Zhao walked into the room from the courtyard.He wore light fur on his outer armor, and brought a cold breath from the outside world with him.As he approached, his eyes were still full of warmth and warmth, and he aimed straight at Qingcheng.
"It's cold at night. Your door is ajar, so be careful not to catch the cold."
Ever since they lived in Jinglue Mansion with Fan Zhongyan, the two of them have been living next to each other.Come in, the situation of the Northwest Army has changed faintly.Han Qi, the deputy envoy of the Jingyuan Road Economic Strategy, advocated the formation of troops to attack Huaiyuanzhai at the foot of Tiandu Mountain, but Fan Zhongyan, the deputy envoy of the Jingyuan Road Economic Strategy, insisted on a solid defense.The two were at a stalemate, and Xia Song, the conciliator of the Shaanxi Economic Strategy, had no choice but to mediate between the two sides, but both sides were fighting on the basis of reason and refused to give in. In desperation, Xia Song had no choice but to throw the hot potato to the officials.Han Qi and Yin Zhu went to Beijing to make a face-to-face petition, and it is said that they seem to have persuaded the officials.Fan Zhongyan was not disturbed, and still sat in Yanzhou. Every day, military mail and correspondence with Bianjing were densely packed, post officials came in and out frequently, and the internal affairs of the mansion were complicated, so it was difficult for everyone to have a short rest.
Qingcheng glanced at Zhan Zhao, smiled faintly, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured him a cup of barley tea: "You are so busy today, and you still have time to come here to ask about your health. If Master Fan sees this, he must send some more errands." for you."
Zhan Zhao sat down at the table, took the teacup and said, "I'm looking for you right now, Master Fan ordered."
Qingcheng slightly raised her eyebrows: "Oh, what's the matter?"
Holding the cup in his hand, Zhan Zhao watched the warm smoke rising from the Chenghuang tea soup: "Master Fan asked, do you have anything to ask the post officer to bring back to Bianjing?"
Seeing that she didn't answer for a while, she slowly said again: "The official has specially ordered the post officer to bring this piano to you. As far as etiquette is concerned, you should really thank me..."
Qingcheng smiled wryly and stood up.
Qin player, love also.In Ruisi Hall, in front of Baojin Tower, she had already confessed to her, why is it that even now, even though thousands of miles away, the love for the Holy Lord has not been completely eliminated?
And think about yourself, isn't it the same.Just because of an invisible bond in my heart, I can't discern clearly, and the reason is still chaotic. I used to be chic, but now I am only in a dilemma.
She let out a long sigh, shook her head and said: "That day in Ruisi Hall, the seven strings of this qin were all broken, and the face was covered with dust. Now that the official has ordered someone to reconnect the strings, I don't think I will need to take care of it from now on. The official has signaled this , I should accept it, so why bother with words and trouble the officials?..."
Zhan Zhao secretly shook his head, but in the end he just sighed.Usually suffering from love, he is probably the person in the world who understands Zhao Zhen's love for Qingcheng the most.But love comes and goes, and people can't control it at all. Even the nobles of the Tian family have no choice but to do so.
Qingcheng avoided the topic, turned around and asked, "Is there any news from Qingjian City?"
Zhan Zhao said: "There is a reply letter. Mr. Zhong has made a plan to divorce, and he will start with Yeli Wangrong first. It's just that the details are intricate and we need to be patient... By the way, you may have guessed that Mr. Zhong sent him to see you off." Who is the one who wrote back?"
Qingcheng shook his head and said: "I only went to Qingjian City with you once, how could I guess?..." His eyes turned around, and suddenly lit up: "...Could it be the boy who captured Xiqiang Sunu that day? "
Zhan Zhao nodded and smiled, "That's right, it's him."
Qingcheng said strangely: "He was the commander-in-chief back then, and he has already been promoted. Now that he is sent to deliver such a confidential letter, it seems that Mr. Zhong is very fond of him."
Zhan Zhao said: "That's right. I heard that he just recovered from his injuries, and then made great achievements in the battle of Houqiaozhai. Now Mr. Zhong has ordered him to accompany him in the commander's tent, always assisting in strategy."
Qingcheng shook her head and said, "I paid attention to it when I first met him. That child is young, full of forbearance, full of despondency, and I don't know where it came from?"
Zhan Zhao said: "Master Zhong has always had a bright eye. With such a heavy responsibility, I think he must have investigated the details."
Qingcheng was about to speak, but she heard a knock on the door.She stood up and opened the door, and when she saw Fan He, she let him in.
Fan He entered the house and first greeted Qingcheng.Seeing that Zhan Zhao was there, he smiled at him and said, "Just now, Master Zhan will have dinner in the future, and I have sent someone to your room. It is past Xu time, sir, let's eat first, if it is late cold."
Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Thank you. I'll go there when I'm young."
Seeing that Zhan Zhao didn't go for a while, Fan He turned to look at Qing Cheng, as if hesitating.
Qingcheng's heart moved: "If you have something to say, sir, it's okay to say it."
Fan He nodded, took out a letter from his bosom, frowned and said, "When I passed by the stable just now, I saw such a letter on the ground. I really don't know where this letter came from. The princess and the adults all know that the correspondence between the Jinglue Mansion has always been delivered very safely. I'm afraid this matter is a bit strange. It's just that my lord is in the study at this time with Lord Di Discussing the military situation, I dare not interrupt, but I don't know what is said in the letter, so in order to avoid delay, I will send it to the princess first to have a look."
Qing Cheng's eyes froze, and he took the letter from Fan He, only to see some dust and mud marks on the envelope, and only the words "Princess Gan Ning Nian Su Guang respectfully" appeared.
While she was meditating for a while, she looked up to see that Zhan Zhao had come to her side, and seeing him nodding slightly to her, she lifted the red lacquer seal and unfolded the letter inside.
On Xuelang plain paper, there are only a few words.
"I have heard for a long time that the princess is driving to Yanzhou. Tonight at the time of the Hai, the vast pine forest in Daishan in the west of the city meets the Xianqiao. Please meet me and tell about the old things in Ganzhou. Xia Taishi Shangshu Ling Zhang Yuan."
Zhan Zhao's heart was shocked, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's report this matter to Mr. Fan."
Qingcheng didn't answer for a while, but slowly put the letter paper in his hand in front of the desk, turned around suddenly, took off the mink fur from the silver hook beside the bed, and with a flick of his hand, covered the mink fur on his body, with his fingertips turning, he had already tied the sable fur. In front of the neck.
Seeing her like this, Zhan Zhao stepped forward and held her arm tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Be safe and don't be impatient. It is unknown where this letter came from. It is even more difficult to distinguish the truth from the falsehood in the letter. In any case, this It’s ulterior motives to be obvious. If you act recklessly, you may just fall into the trap.”
Qingcheng said quietly: "Whether it's true or not, I've wanted to talk to them about the old things in Ganzhou for a long time. Now they come to ask me out instead, which saves me a lot of trouble. Since they dared to go deep into the hinterland of Yanzhou at this time, I also How can we live up to their hard work?"
She raised her head and looked into Zhan Zhao's eyes: "Whatever is coming will always come. Even if I can avoid tonight, when will I be able to avoid it?"
Zhan Zhao saw that her face was extremely calm, but her body was trembling slightly, her right hand was tightly clenched on the hilt of Chun Jun's sword, and her slender knuckles appeared in front of her.Knowing that it was extremely difficult to persuade him to turn around, he shook his head secretly, took a deep breath suddenly, turned to Fan He and said, "Please quickly pass this letter to Master Fan for reading, and ask Master Di to lead the Shenji battalion to the vast pine forest in Daishan. Accompany the princess one step ahead!"
While speaking, Qingcheng had already rushed out of the room, and Zhan Zhao followed closely behind her.The two of them went to the stables, led Jueying Chasing Stars, saddled on the horse, shook the bridle and reins, and went all the way out of the west gate of Yanzhou.
More than [-] miles out of the city is Mount Dai.The crescent moon is like a hook, and thoughts are like an ocean. For some reason, the familiar mountain road seems strange and long at this time.Along the rough road, there are dense layers of lush green pines, like ghosts in the dark, wanting to pounce on people.
At the end of the pine forest, the Luzhuanxi Bridge suddenly appeared.According to local legend, a woodcutter once saw immortals playing chess under the moon here in ancient times, so he called this bridge Yuxian Bridge.
The moon is cold and the mountains are cold, and there is no fairy trail to be found.At this moment, there is only one stream like silver, slowly turning eastward, illuminating the stone arch under the bridge and the grass on the bank.
Zhan Zhao reined in Zhuxing and patrolled the bridgehead for a week.For a while, everything was silent, only the sound of running water was heard, but there seemed to be something hidden in the dark place, which made people feel terrified.
Suddenly, more than ten torches suddenly lit up in the pine forest, like stars floating on the lake, slowly gathering towards the bridge.Under the firelight, twelve men in black approached, surrounding Qingcheng and Zhan Zhao's mounts.They are all tall horses of the same color, with flaming torches, inserted in front of the saddle and bridle.Upon closer inspection, Judu covered his face with a black scarf, held a strong crossbow in his hand, and the arrow had already entered the string, aiming at the two of them.Although they have a large number of horses, they don't hear the slightest sound except for the sound of hooves.
Although Jueying and Chasing Xing have been on the scene for a long time, they seem to be caught by this situation at this moment, they can't stop circling in place, and snort from time to time.Zhan Zhao was startled inwardly, he yelled at Zhu Xing softly, and tried his best to rein in the horse.
Although the faces of these twelve riders could not be seen clearly, the treacherous and ruthless aura that rushed towards them seemed familiar, bringing back the memory of the change of Xiangyang's skyrocketing tower.
The blood is full of light, the heart is heartbroken, the love is far away, and the Xixia Yipintang.
But today's situation is even more dangerous than that night in Xiangyang.It is rumored that the number of dead soldiers in Yipin Hall is extremely limited, but at this moment, it seems that they are coming out in full force, only for this evening.
A long laugh suddenly came from the forest, the twelve riders parted from the middle, and one rider slowly emerged.He was about forty years old, with a refined appearance, a light fur coat, no armor, a black beard hanging down his chest, and a smile on his face.Zhan Zhao Qingcheng has been with the army for a long time, and he is very familiar with the pictures of Xixia Yuanhao and other high-ranking officials. At this time, when he saw this person, his heart was shocked.
This middle-aged Confucian student is surprisingly the head of all officials in Xixia, Grand Master Shangshu and Zhongshuling Zhang Yuan!
His life experience is secretive, and no one knows his original name.It's just that the surname Zhang was originally from Huayin. When he was young, he had different ambitions but failed to succeed after repeated trials. Finally, he gave up the mantle of the Han family and changed his name to Zhang Yuan.He wholeheartedly wanted to help Yuan Hao unite the Liao Dynasty to destroy the Song Dynasty, and then dominate the world on his own, so he did everything he could to plan a strategy for this.All the Wan surnames in the Central Plains hated this Han traitor to the bone, and wished they could eat his flesh alive.He was usually by Yuan Hao's side, but now he appeared outside the city of Yanzhou, it was really inconceivable.
I saw his eyes far away, looking directly at Qingcheng, and said with a slight smile: "When I wrote the letter today, I was worried that the princess might have doubts and refused to come. Who knows that the moon is bright and the forest is dark, and the beauties come as they are invited. Let me go back and forth in vain, the next one will be respected, and the other one will be thanked."
Qingcheng looked at Zhang Yuan coldly, and said slowly: "If you want to see me, I'm already here. Say what you have to say, don't use rhetoric, it's useless."
Zhang Yuan still smiled and said: "As cold as ice, as beautiful as peaches and plums, she is indeed the daughter of the most beautiful Uighur in Ganzhou back then!"
Qingcheng's gaze was fixed on Zhang Yuan's face: "Thanks to your monarchs and ministers, there are no longer Ganzhou Uighurs in this world. Under the sand and dust, there are piles of bones. For the past 14 years, they have been waiting for you all the time. I'm going to kill you!"
Her words were full of hatred, but Zhang Yuan didn't take it seriously, and said: "I have hurt the past several times in my life, and the mountain is still in the cold current. I asked the princess to meet at the Yuxian Bridge tonight, just to reminisce about the old relationship with the princess .”
He took two steps forward with his horse, and said with a smile, "If your father hadn't insisted on your father's tenacity in the Battle of Ganzhou, how could it have been destroyed? For many years, my lord has always been worried about this. Years ago, I heard that the princess Still in the world, my lord was extremely pleasantly surprised, and sent me here to pay my respects to the princess."
Qingcheng sneered and said: "If he is really surprised, why doesn't he come to see me in person?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "My lord planned to come here in person, but Mr. Han will invite him to hunt on Jingyuan Road in a few days. He has no other skills at the moment, so he can only temporarily send me here on his behalf to pick up the princess to Xingqing mansion." a while."
As soon as these words came out, Zhan Zhao was shocked.He turned his head to look at Qingcheng, seeing her also trembled.
Zhan Zhao rode his horse to Qingcheng's side, and said in a low voice, "This must be their trick. You just cross the bridge and go back to Yanzhou from behind the mountain. Di Qing will come here from time to time. I'll hold them here and make them Back and forth.
Qingcheng lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, suddenly raised his head, and slowly said to Zhang Yuan: "Yuan Hao has spent so much trouble, I'm afraid it's not me that he really wants to see in his heart."
Zhang Yuan laughed long and loudly: "The princess is really smart! Back then, Tongshun Khan and his son broke out from Ganzhou and took away the century-old treasure of the Uighurs in Ganzhou, but they didn't know where it ended up. For more than ten years, my lord has been thinking about it, and I have never forgotten it. .Now the sky is blessed, the princess is alive, and this treasure will finally be seen again. My lord is destined to return, and his wish will be fulfilled in the end."
Qingcheng said indifferently: "The treasure map fell into the hands of Zhao Jue back then. If you have the ability, go to the underworld and ask him for it."
Zhang Yuan shook his head and said: "The princess is the husband of a female middle-aged woman, how could she become so stingy... Zhao Jue cheated the world back then and got half of the treasure map, but in the end it was just a pillow. Now the princess is the only one in this world who has seen it. The person who hides the whole map of treasures. This section, you and I are both clear in our hearts, so why use excuses?"
Zhan Zhao was secretly startled, thinking back on the past, he guessed that the guards of Zhao Jue's mansion who were present that day must have leaked the news to Zhang Yuanjun and his ministers.They have planned everything, they are determined to win tonight, if they want to get out of the whole body, they are afraid that it will be very difficult.
Qingcheng sneered: "Okay. I'm right here. If you want the treasure map, you might as well come and get it yourself!"
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Before I came here, the lord specially ordered that when you see the princess, you must treat each other with courtesy, and you must not be half-competitive. Since you respectfully invite the princess to go to Xingqing mansion, naturally you must let the princess Go willingly."
Qingcheng said coldly: "It's not difficult to be willing. As long as Yuan Hao prepares his head, not to mention the Xingqing Mansion, even if it goes to heaven or earth, I will accompany him to the end.
Zhang Yuan shook his head again: "The princess, why is this so? My lord has a heart of respect for your father, I'm afraid the princess hasn't understood it yet. This time, the princess is invited to Xingqing Mansion to show her heart .”
Qingcheng said bitterly: "I have a clear mind... yes. I am the only one left among my thousands of clansmen. No one understands your ambition better than me... Since Yuan Hao is not here today, I will take your life first! "
Zhan Zhao saw that her eyes were icy cold, her aura was fierce, and she was about to make trouble at the sight, he was shocked in his heart, and shouted: "Qingcheng, wait a minute!"
However, Zhang Yuan's face remained unchanged, and he raised his hands, holding a sapphire bucket in front of him, and shouted: "Wait a minute, princess! The bones of your ancestors are here, don't be impulsive, and leave eternal hatred in vain! "
This sentence hit my heart like a thunderbolt.Qingcheng tremblingly said: "You... what did you say?"
Zhang Yuan smiled slightly: "In this jade bucket are the ashes of General Nian Zongze. The princess killed me with a flip of his hand, but if I accidentally overturned this porcelain altar, I'm afraid that General Nian's ashes will die." The bones will be destroyed in ashes, and it will be difficult to find them again."
Qingcheng's whole body trembled violently, his eyes were like idiots, and he was firmly tied to the jade bucket.Against the backdrop of the surrounding fire, she could see her hands trembling slightly while holding the rein.
The anxiety in Zhan Zhao's heart suddenly rose, and he shouted to Zhang Yuan: "Traitor! Do you think this trick can deceive people? You use General Nian's bones to blaspheme his spirit in heaven, you are no better than a beast!
Zhang Yuan shook his head and said: "Master Zhan said that, it can be said that he is judging the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
At this moment, he can recognize Zhan Zhao's identity at a glance, which shows that he has considered this matter for a long time.Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao was shocked again.
Zhang Yuandao: "In the Battle of Ganzhou, I was entrusted by the Lord to clean up the mess after the war. That day when I went down to the city, the commander's tent was burned to the ground. Among the many bones, two were lying together. It can be seen that it is a man and a woman. The man has a white jade ring finger on his right thumb, and the woman wears a pair of jadeite jade bracelets. Although they have been roasted by flames, the color of the finger ring and jade bracelet has not changed slightly, which is obviously rare in the city. Thinking about it, the only people who could have this thing in Ganzhou City were General Nian and Princess Marseille. So I reported to Lord Ming that the bones of the two were incinerated and stored in two jade buckets. These For many years, it has been enshrined in the Sanhuang Temple of Xingqing Mansion."
He stared closely at Qingcheng's eyes, and slowly said: "Princess, as a woman, you must be hated for life if you fail to worship in front of the bones of your parents. My lord is kind and merciful, and I invite you to come to Xingqing I'm afraid you won't be convinced, so I brought the ashes of General Nian on this trip first. The ashes of Princess Marseille are still in the Temple of the Three Emperors, and you will know when the princess goes there .”
He sighed deeply again: "Princess Marseille's spirit is in the sky, and she must be looking forward to you going to reunite with her day and night. You have missed it for many years, are you still hesitating at this moment?"
Zhan Zhao saw Zhang Yuan narrate slowly, his eyes did not blink, he just focused on Qingcheng, his pupils were unfathomable, and there seemed to be a ray of enchanting strange light.He suddenly woke up and said in shock: "Qingcheng, don't look into his eyes!"
But Qingcheng's eyes were firmly attracted by Zhang Yuan like a puppet pulling strings, and it was difficult to move away.For a moment, she felt her heart was in a trance, as if in the clouds, her crescent eyebrows frowned slightly, and she murmured: "That's right... I've been so many years late... Why am I still hesitating at this moment..."
In the voice, she urged Jueying to move towards Zhang Yuanxing slowly.
Zhan Zhao was startled, the reins trembled, and he wanted to chase her back.But he heard the screeching sound, layers of crossbow arrows, like thick clouds in the dark night, had been shot towards the star chasing hooves densely.Zhuixing hissed sadly, stopped in shock, Zhan Zhao flew up from his horse, jumped in front of Qingcheng's horse, blocked Jueying's way, and shouted: "Qingcheng, wake up!"
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan raised his hand slightly, temporarily preventing the dead men from Yipin Hall from firing their crossbow arrows again.He looked at Zhan Zhao, and said with a smile, "Lord Zhan, the princess has fallen into a deep dream at this moment, and it is useless for you to call out. She has been lonely all the way, and it is time for her to take a good rest. In this life, It's rare to be confused, why do you have to wake her up?"
Zhan Zhaozhi knew that Qingcheng had always been very determined, but just now when he heard about the ashes of his parents, his mind was agitated, and in a moment of carelessness, Zhang Yuan took the opportunity to enter and absorbed his mind.Recalling that day in Xiangyang Prince's Mansion, Chongqing Shuangying was also hit by Yipintang's mind-stimulating technique, and finally committed suicide to death.He felt extremely pained, but he also knew that this mind-bending technique was extremely difficult to resolve, if he forced her to wake her up at this moment, it might cause her mind to be disturbed, her meridians to flow backwards, and her life would be in danger immediately.For the current plan, the only way is to threaten Zhang Yuan with his life to force Zhang Yuan to solve his tricks by himself.
In my life, I have walked close to the Shura field countless times, but this time, I have stepped into an extinct area, which is very rare.Apart from himself, what he shoulders is her hard life, where his love is tied, and where his heart belongs, and he is determined not to be buried here.
He turned his head slowly, stood up straight, and tightened his fingers on the hilt of Zhanlu's sword one by one, concentrating the strength of his whole body.In front of him, on the left and right, there were twelve crossbows with killing intent in their bones, appearing and disappearing under the flames.If he misses one hit, there will be no second chance.
Vitality is like a gap, and there is no room for hesitation.
He stood quietly, his palms were full of strength, and with the next breath, Zhanlu would get out of the sheath!
At this moment, only a sharp whistle was heard, and a long arrow shot out from among the pine trees through the forest, the feather light was like snow, drawing a dazzling silver light, and shot straight in front of Zhang Yuan, and with a bang, he was shot The jade bucket in his hand was shot to pieces.All of a sudden, the pieces of jade scattered around, and a handful of gravel fell from them, but where are the ashes?
Zhang Yuan's trick was broken, he turned around in shock, and saw a horse standing far away in the dark in the forest, presumably it was the one who fired the arrow.He had always been suspicious, at this moment he was afraid that Song Ying's troops were in ambush here, his face changed drastically, although he saw that the success was within his reach, he finally waved his hands and shouted: "Let's go!"
The sound of hoofbeats rang through the forest like a cold wave, the twelve dead soldiers of Yipin Hall rode their mounts and surrounded Zhang Yuan, but in an instant, the flames faded away and he disappeared in the dust.
Zhan Zhao was pleasantly surprised, and rushed back to Qingcheng's horse.Seeing that she was shaking on the horse, her clothes were soaked in sweat, but her eyes were already clear, and she knew that when the howling arrow shot through the jade bucket just now, the mind-stimulating technique she had had was also broken at the same moment.He quickly held her hand and asked in a low voice, "how do you feel?"
Qingcheng opened her eyes, as if waking up from a big dream: "Just now... what happened?..."
Zhan Zhao said comfortingly, "No matter what happened, it's over. Don't think about it, just take a rest."
Qingcheng nodded slowly, feeling exhausted.Suddenly, as if his heart was moved, he turned his head and looked aside.
The waves of pines are bursting like thousands of plumes of smoke and waterfalls, filling the forest.Riding under the tree, the white fur cloak, like light clouds in the dark night, stood silently, watching her from afar.
The flowing spring turned into a stream of snow, reflected between her eyes, and melted into the fragments of her previous life in a trance.
In the vast and dark sky, the stars are lonely, and there is a long cry faintly.The man suddenly reined in his horse and galloped out of the forest.
Qingcheng was startled, let go of Zhangzhao's arm, raised his whip and hit Jueying's back heavily.Jueying hissed, and chased after the man.
Zhan Zhao was startled, he flew up, jumped onto Chasing Star, and followed Qing Cheng closely.
But he saw that person was far ahead, with Jue Ying and Zhu Xing's foot strength, he couldn't catch up for a while.During the gallop, more than [-] riders turned out from the foot of the mountain, all in white fur and light armor, like stars facing the moon, they gradually gathered all the way and followed behind the man.
The horseshoes have spun past one after another, the lonely shadow is persistent, the poor yellow spring, and the blue sky is gone.
Qingcheng urged the horse to gallop, with tears in his eyes.
The lights on the high wall are faintly visible in the distance, and the city is solemn and solemn.In the blink of an eye, this group of flying cavalry has rushed to the city of Yanzhou.Seeing that the city gate is open at this moment, Qingli is the leader, and all the horsemen are out. It is Di Qing who leads the Shenji battalion out of the city to pursue Zhan Zhao Qingcheng.
The man stopped slowly, got off his horse, and turned around.All the people behind him got off their horses and stood beside him.
In a blink of an eye, Jue Ying Chasing Star has also caught up to him.Qingcheng reined in his mount and looked at the man through tears.His face was resolute and tough, as cold as a rock, without the slightest emotion, only a pair of jasper-like eyes, staring at her closely, and refused to miss her.
She was dazed for a long time, then suddenly swayed and slipped off the saddle.Zhan Zhao was taken aback, jumped down from Chasing Star, reached out to help, but it was in vain.
She staggered and ran straight to the man.The pure Junben was hanging on her waist, and it kept stumbling in front of her knees while running, she pulled it casually, and broke the silk sash around her waist.With the sound of Canglang, Chunjun closed her sheath and fell to the ground, but she didn't even look at it, she went straight to the man, stood trembling for a while, without any hesitation, threw herself into the man's arms, crying bitterly.
Zhan Zhao stood silently for a long time, his heart was surging, he seemed to have some comprehension, and also seemed to have some emptiness.He stepped forward to pick up Chun Jun.The icy scabbard was held tightly in the palm of the hand, and there was even the slightest pain.
The guards of Shenji battalion rushed forward, and the green armor shone with the dim light of the city fire, surrounding the cavalry in the center.
The man still hugged Qingcheng in his arms, lowered his eyebrows and pressed his cheeks against her black hair.The people around him gradually gathered around him and Qingcheng, all with excited faces and tears in their eyes.
Qingmane Li stomped her hooves proudly, reaching in front of her.Di Qing sat on the horse, looked at the uninvited visitor coldly, and asked slowly: "Who is your Excellency?"
There was another long cry from the sky, the black wings lingered in the wind, soaring in the night, suddenly, it slid past like a bolt of lightning, and landed directly on the man's shoulder, looking forward to flying, it turned out to be a black falcon.
The man raised his head, and there seemed to be a ray of light in his green eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He was dignified and calm, without revealing half of his sharp edge.
The names and surnames that had long been buried by the years were slowly recited by him word by word.The inherent magnificence and the unforgettable sadness are intertwined, penetrating to the bottom of my heart.
"Ganzhou Uighur, Yeluohe, Yasu."
The author has something to say:
In a blink of an eye, it has entered the twelfth lunar month.In Yanzhou City, every day when the sun sets, it is already chilling to the bones.If the fire in the house is not turned on quickly, it will be difficult to endure at night.
In the side room in the backyard of Jinglue Mansion, Qingcheng Fuyi came to the case, looking forward with lowered eyebrows.Under the candlelight in front of the window, a piano lies horizontally, and the seven strings are silent, as if telling the passing of time.
Jade pot ice.The slender small seal script is tactfully on the body of the piano, as if it still carries the fragrance of old books in the Hall of Ruisi.On Qin's body, there were red spots like plum rain, all of which were the marks left by her when she fought with her life that night.
... Su Guang, my heart, can you see it? ...
...Suguang, have you really entrusted all the love in your life to others? ...
She held her breath, sighed slowly, and pushed Qin aside.
With a sound of Ga Yo, the door was pushed open, and Zhan Zhao walked into the room from the courtyard.He wore light fur on his outer armor, and brought a cold breath from the outside world with him.As he approached, his eyes were still full of warmth and warmth, and he aimed straight at Qingcheng.
"It's cold at night. Your door is ajar, so be careful not to catch the cold."
Ever since they lived in Jinglue Mansion with Fan Zhongyan, the two of them have been living next to each other.Come in, the situation of the Northwest Army has changed faintly.Han Qi, the deputy envoy of the Jingyuan Road Economic Strategy, advocated the formation of troops to attack Huaiyuanzhai at the foot of Tiandu Mountain, but Fan Zhongyan, the deputy envoy of the Jingyuan Road Economic Strategy, insisted on a solid defense.The two were at a stalemate, and Xia Song, the conciliator of the Shaanxi Economic Strategy, had no choice but to mediate between the two sides, but both sides were fighting on the basis of reason and refused to give in. In desperation, Xia Song had no choice but to throw the hot potato to the officials.Han Qi and Yin Zhu went to Beijing to make a face-to-face petition, and it is said that they seem to have persuaded the officials.Fan Zhongyan was not disturbed, and still sat in Yanzhou. Every day, military mail and correspondence with Bianjing were densely packed, post officials came in and out frequently, and the internal affairs of the mansion were complicated, so it was difficult for everyone to have a short rest.
Qingcheng glanced at Zhan Zhao, smiled faintly, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured him a cup of barley tea: "You are so busy today, and you still have time to come here to ask about your health. If Master Fan sees this, he must send some more errands." for you."
Zhan Zhao sat down at the table, took the teacup and said, "I'm looking for you right now, Master Fan ordered."
Qingcheng slightly raised her eyebrows: "Oh, what's the matter?"
Holding the cup in his hand, Zhan Zhao watched the warm smoke rising from the Chenghuang tea soup: "Master Fan asked, do you have anything to ask the post officer to bring back to Bianjing?"
Seeing that she didn't answer for a while, she slowly said again: "The official has specially ordered the post officer to bring this piano to you. As far as etiquette is concerned, you should really thank me..."
Qingcheng smiled wryly and stood up.
Qin player, love also.In Ruisi Hall, in front of Baojin Tower, she had already confessed to her, why is it that even now, even though thousands of miles away, the love for the Holy Lord has not been completely eliminated?
And think about yourself, isn't it the same.Just because of an invisible bond in my heart, I can't discern clearly, and the reason is still chaotic. I used to be chic, but now I am only in a dilemma.
She let out a long sigh, shook her head and said: "That day in Ruisi Hall, the seven strings of this qin were all broken, and the face was covered with dust. Now that the official has ordered someone to reconnect the strings, I don't think I will need to take care of it from now on. The official has signaled this , I should accept it, so why bother with words and trouble the officials?..."
Zhan Zhao secretly shook his head, but in the end he just sighed.Usually suffering from love, he is probably the person in the world who understands Zhao Zhen's love for Qingcheng the most.But love comes and goes, and people can't control it at all. Even the nobles of the Tian family have no choice but to do so.
Qingcheng avoided the topic, turned around and asked, "Is there any news from Qingjian City?"
Zhan Zhao said: "There is a reply letter. Mr. Zhong has made a plan to divorce, and he will start with Yeli Wangrong first. It's just that the details are intricate and we need to be patient... By the way, you may have guessed that Mr. Zhong sent him to see you off." Who is the one who wrote back?"
Qingcheng shook his head and said: "I only went to Qingjian City with you once, how could I guess?..." His eyes turned around, and suddenly lit up: "...Could it be the boy who captured Xiqiang Sunu that day? "
Zhan Zhao nodded and smiled, "That's right, it's him."
Qingcheng said strangely: "He was the commander-in-chief back then, and he has already been promoted. Now that he is sent to deliver such a confidential letter, it seems that Mr. Zhong is very fond of him."
Zhan Zhao said: "That's right. I heard that he just recovered from his injuries, and then made great achievements in the battle of Houqiaozhai. Now Mr. Zhong has ordered him to accompany him in the commander's tent, always assisting in strategy."
Qingcheng shook her head and said, "I paid attention to it when I first met him. That child is young, full of forbearance, full of despondency, and I don't know where it came from?"
Zhan Zhao said: "Master Zhong has always had a bright eye. With such a heavy responsibility, I think he must have investigated the details."
Qingcheng was about to speak, but she heard a knock on the door.She stood up and opened the door, and when she saw Fan He, she let him in.
Fan He entered the house and first greeted Qingcheng.Seeing that Zhan Zhao was there, he smiled at him and said, "Just now, Master Zhan will have dinner in the future, and I have sent someone to your room. It is past Xu time, sir, let's eat first, if it is late cold."
Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Thank you. I'll go there when I'm young."
Seeing that Zhan Zhao didn't go for a while, Fan He turned to look at Qing Cheng, as if hesitating.
Qingcheng's heart moved: "If you have something to say, sir, it's okay to say it."
Fan He nodded, took out a letter from his bosom, frowned and said, "When I passed by the stable just now, I saw such a letter on the ground. I really don't know where this letter came from. The princess and the adults all know that the correspondence between the Jinglue Mansion has always been delivered very safely. I'm afraid this matter is a bit strange. It's just that my lord is in the study at this time with Lord Di Discussing the military situation, I dare not interrupt, but I don't know what is said in the letter, so in order to avoid delay, I will send it to the princess first to have a look."
Qing Cheng's eyes froze, and he took the letter from Fan He, only to see some dust and mud marks on the envelope, and only the words "Princess Gan Ning Nian Su Guang respectfully" appeared.
While she was meditating for a while, she looked up to see that Zhan Zhao had come to her side, and seeing him nodding slightly to her, she lifted the red lacquer seal and unfolded the letter inside.
On Xuelang plain paper, there are only a few words.
"I have heard for a long time that the princess is driving to Yanzhou. Tonight at the time of the Hai, the vast pine forest in Daishan in the west of the city meets the Xianqiao. Please meet me and tell about the old things in Ganzhou. Xia Taishi Shangshu Ling Zhang Yuan."
Zhan Zhao's heart was shocked, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's report this matter to Mr. Fan."
Qingcheng didn't answer for a while, but slowly put the letter paper in his hand in front of the desk, turned around suddenly, took off the mink fur from the silver hook beside the bed, and with a flick of his hand, covered the mink fur on his body, with his fingertips turning, he had already tied the sable fur. In front of the neck.
Seeing her like this, Zhan Zhao stepped forward and held her arm tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Be safe and don't be impatient. It is unknown where this letter came from. It is even more difficult to distinguish the truth from the falsehood in the letter. In any case, this It’s ulterior motives to be obvious. If you act recklessly, you may just fall into the trap.”
Qingcheng said quietly: "Whether it's true or not, I've wanted to talk to them about the old things in Ganzhou for a long time. Now they come to ask me out instead, which saves me a lot of trouble. Since they dared to go deep into the hinterland of Yanzhou at this time, I also How can we live up to their hard work?"
She raised her head and looked into Zhan Zhao's eyes: "Whatever is coming will always come. Even if I can avoid tonight, when will I be able to avoid it?"
Zhan Zhao saw that her face was extremely calm, but her body was trembling slightly, her right hand was tightly clenched on the hilt of Chun Jun's sword, and her slender knuckles appeared in front of her.Knowing that it was extremely difficult to persuade him to turn around, he shook his head secretly, took a deep breath suddenly, turned to Fan He and said, "Please quickly pass this letter to Master Fan for reading, and ask Master Di to lead the Shenji battalion to the vast pine forest in Daishan. Accompany the princess one step ahead!"
While speaking, Qingcheng had already rushed out of the room, and Zhan Zhao followed closely behind her.The two of them went to the stables, led Jueying Chasing Stars, saddled on the horse, shook the bridle and reins, and went all the way out of the west gate of Yanzhou.
More than [-] miles out of the city is Mount Dai.The crescent moon is like a hook, and thoughts are like an ocean. For some reason, the familiar mountain road seems strange and long at this time.Along the rough road, there are dense layers of lush green pines, like ghosts in the dark, wanting to pounce on people.
At the end of the pine forest, the Luzhuanxi Bridge suddenly appeared.According to local legend, a woodcutter once saw immortals playing chess under the moon here in ancient times, so he called this bridge Yuxian Bridge.
The moon is cold and the mountains are cold, and there is no fairy trail to be found.At this moment, there is only one stream like silver, slowly turning eastward, illuminating the stone arch under the bridge and the grass on the bank.
Zhan Zhao reined in Zhuxing and patrolled the bridgehead for a week.For a while, everything was silent, only the sound of running water was heard, but there seemed to be something hidden in the dark place, which made people feel terrified.
Suddenly, more than ten torches suddenly lit up in the pine forest, like stars floating on the lake, slowly gathering towards the bridge.Under the firelight, twelve men in black approached, surrounding Qingcheng and Zhan Zhao's mounts.They are all tall horses of the same color, with flaming torches, inserted in front of the saddle and bridle.Upon closer inspection, Judu covered his face with a black scarf, held a strong crossbow in his hand, and the arrow had already entered the string, aiming at the two of them.Although they have a large number of horses, they don't hear the slightest sound except for the sound of hooves.
Although Jueying and Chasing Xing have been on the scene for a long time, they seem to be caught by this situation at this moment, they can't stop circling in place, and snort from time to time.Zhan Zhao was startled inwardly, he yelled at Zhu Xing softly, and tried his best to rein in the horse.
Although the faces of these twelve riders could not be seen clearly, the treacherous and ruthless aura that rushed towards them seemed familiar, bringing back the memory of the change of Xiangyang's skyrocketing tower.
The blood is full of light, the heart is heartbroken, the love is far away, and the Xixia Yipintang.
But today's situation is even more dangerous than that night in Xiangyang.It is rumored that the number of dead soldiers in Yipin Hall is extremely limited, but at this moment, it seems that they are coming out in full force, only for this evening.
A long laugh suddenly came from the forest, the twelve riders parted from the middle, and one rider slowly emerged.He was about forty years old, with a refined appearance, a light fur coat, no armor, a black beard hanging down his chest, and a smile on his face.Zhan Zhao Qingcheng has been with the army for a long time, and he is very familiar with the pictures of Xixia Yuanhao and other high-ranking officials. At this time, when he saw this person, his heart was shocked.
This middle-aged Confucian student is surprisingly the head of all officials in Xixia, Grand Master Shangshu and Zhongshuling Zhang Yuan!
His life experience is secretive, and no one knows his original name.It's just that the surname Zhang was originally from Huayin. When he was young, he had different ambitions but failed to succeed after repeated trials. Finally, he gave up the mantle of the Han family and changed his name to Zhang Yuan.He wholeheartedly wanted to help Yuan Hao unite the Liao Dynasty to destroy the Song Dynasty, and then dominate the world on his own, so he did everything he could to plan a strategy for this.All the Wan surnames in the Central Plains hated this Han traitor to the bone, and wished they could eat his flesh alive.He was usually by Yuan Hao's side, but now he appeared outside the city of Yanzhou, it was really inconceivable.
I saw his eyes far away, looking directly at Qingcheng, and said with a slight smile: "When I wrote the letter today, I was worried that the princess might have doubts and refused to come. Who knows that the moon is bright and the forest is dark, and the beauties come as they are invited. Let me go back and forth in vain, the next one will be respected, and the other one will be thanked."
Qingcheng looked at Zhang Yuan coldly, and said slowly: "If you want to see me, I'm already here. Say what you have to say, don't use rhetoric, it's useless."
Zhang Yuan still smiled and said: "As cold as ice, as beautiful as peaches and plums, she is indeed the daughter of the most beautiful Uighur in Ganzhou back then!"
Qingcheng's gaze was fixed on Zhang Yuan's face: "Thanks to your monarchs and ministers, there are no longer Ganzhou Uighurs in this world. Under the sand and dust, there are piles of bones. For the past 14 years, they have been waiting for you all the time. I'm going to kill you!"
Her words were full of hatred, but Zhang Yuan didn't take it seriously, and said: "I have hurt the past several times in my life, and the mountain is still in the cold current. I asked the princess to meet at the Yuxian Bridge tonight, just to reminisce about the old relationship with the princess .”
He took two steps forward with his horse, and said with a smile, "If your father hadn't insisted on your father's tenacity in the Battle of Ganzhou, how could it have been destroyed? For many years, my lord has always been worried about this. Years ago, I heard that the princess Still in the world, my lord was extremely pleasantly surprised, and sent me here to pay my respects to the princess."
Qingcheng sneered and said: "If he is really surprised, why doesn't he come to see me in person?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "My lord planned to come here in person, but Mr. Han will invite him to hunt on Jingyuan Road in a few days. He has no other skills at the moment, so he can only temporarily send me here on his behalf to pick up the princess to Xingqing mansion." a while."
As soon as these words came out, Zhan Zhao was shocked.He turned his head to look at Qingcheng, seeing her also trembled.
Zhan Zhao rode his horse to Qingcheng's side, and said in a low voice, "This must be their trick. You just cross the bridge and go back to Yanzhou from behind the mountain. Di Qing will come here from time to time. I'll hold them here and make them Back and forth.
Qingcheng lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, suddenly raised his head, and slowly said to Zhang Yuan: "Yuan Hao has spent so much trouble, I'm afraid it's not me that he really wants to see in his heart."
Zhang Yuan laughed long and loudly: "The princess is really smart! Back then, Tongshun Khan and his son broke out from Ganzhou and took away the century-old treasure of the Uighurs in Ganzhou, but they didn't know where it ended up. For more than ten years, my lord has been thinking about it, and I have never forgotten it. .Now the sky is blessed, the princess is alive, and this treasure will finally be seen again. My lord is destined to return, and his wish will be fulfilled in the end."
Qingcheng said indifferently: "The treasure map fell into the hands of Zhao Jue back then. If you have the ability, go to the underworld and ask him for it."
Zhang Yuan shook his head and said: "The princess is the husband of a female middle-aged woman, how could she become so stingy... Zhao Jue cheated the world back then and got half of the treasure map, but in the end it was just a pillow. Now the princess is the only one in this world who has seen it. The person who hides the whole map of treasures. This section, you and I are both clear in our hearts, so why use excuses?"
Zhan Zhao was secretly startled, thinking back on the past, he guessed that the guards of Zhao Jue's mansion who were present that day must have leaked the news to Zhang Yuanjun and his ministers.They have planned everything, they are determined to win tonight, if they want to get out of the whole body, they are afraid that it will be very difficult.
Qingcheng sneered: "Okay. I'm right here. If you want the treasure map, you might as well come and get it yourself!"
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Before I came here, the lord specially ordered that when you see the princess, you must treat each other with courtesy, and you must not be half-competitive. Since you respectfully invite the princess to go to Xingqing mansion, naturally you must let the princess Go willingly."
Qingcheng said coldly: "It's not difficult to be willing. As long as Yuan Hao prepares his head, not to mention the Xingqing Mansion, even if it goes to heaven or earth, I will accompany him to the end.
Zhang Yuan shook his head again: "The princess, why is this so? My lord has a heart of respect for your father, I'm afraid the princess hasn't understood it yet. This time, the princess is invited to Xingqing Mansion to show her heart .”
Qingcheng said bitterly: "I have a clear mind... yes. I am the only one left among my thousands of clansmen. No one understands your ambition better than me... Since Yuan Hao is not here today, I will take your life first! "
Zhan Zhao saw that her eyes were icy cold, her aura was fierce, and she was about to make trouble at the sight, he was shocked in his heart, and shouted: "Qingcheng, wait a minute!"
However, Zhang Yuan's face remained unchanged, and he raised his hands, holding a sapphire bucket in front of him, and shouted: "Wait a minute, princess! The bones of your ancestors are here, don't be impulsive, and leave eternal hatred in vain! "
This sentence hit my heart like a thunderbolt.Qingcheng tremblingly said: "You... what did you say?"
Zhang Yuan smiled slightly: "In this jade bucket are the ashes of General Nian Zongze. The princess killed me with a flip of his hand, but if I accidentally overturned this porcelain altar, I'm afraid that General Nian's ashes will die." The bones will be destroyed in ashes, and it will be difficult to find them again."
Qingcheng's whole body trembled violently, his eyes were like idiots, and he was firmly tied to the jade bucket.Against the backdrop of the surrounding fire, she could see her hands trembling slightly while holding the rein.
The anxiety in Zhan Zhao's heart suddenly rose, and he shouted to Zhang Yuan: "Traitor! Do you think this trick can deceive people? You use General Nian's bones to blaspheme his spirit in heaven, you are no better than a beast!
Zhang Yuan shook his head and said: "Master Zhan said that, it can be said that he is judging the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
At this moment, he can recognize Zhan Zhao's identity at a glance, which shows that he has considered this matter for a long time.Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao was shocked again.
Zhang Yuandao: "In the Battle of Ganzhou, I was entrusted by the Lord to clean up the mess after the war. That day when I went down to the city, the commander's tent was burned to the ground. Among the many bones, two were lying together. It can be seen that it is a man and a woman. The man has a white jade ring finger on his right thumb, and the woman wears a pair of jadeite jade bracelets. Although they have been roasted by flames, the color of the finger ring and jade bracelet has not changed slightly, which is obviously rare in the city. Thinking about it, the only people who could have this thing in Ganzhou City were General Nian and Princess Marseille. So I reported to Lord Ming that the bones of the two were incinerated and stored in two jade buckets. These For many years, it has been enshrined in the Sanhuang Temple of Xingqing Mansion."
He stared closely at Qingcheng's eyes, and slowly said: "Princess, as a woman, you must be hated for life if you fail to worship in front of the bones of your parents. My lord is kind and merciful, and I invite you to come to Xingqing I'm afraid you won't be convinced, so I brought the ashes of General Nian on this trip first. The ashes of Princess Marseille are still in the Temple of the Three Emperors, and you will know when the princess goes there .”
He sighed deeply again: "Princess Marseille's spirit is in the sky, and she must be looking forward to you going to reunite with her day and night. You have missed it for many years, are you still hesitating at this moment?"
Zhan Zhao saw Zhang Yuan narrate slowly, his eyes did not blink, he just focused on Qingcheng, his pupils were unfathomable, and there seemed to be a ray of enchanting strange light.He suddenly woke up and said in shock: "Qingcheng, don't look into his eyes!"
But Qingcheng's eyes were firmly attracted by Zhang Yuan like a puppet pulling strings, and it was difficult to move away.For a moment, she felt her heart was in a trance, as if in the clouds, her crescent eyebrows frowned slightly, and she murmured: "That's right... I've been so many years late... Why am I still hesitating at this moment..."
In the voice, she urged Jueying to move towards Zhang Yuanxing slowly.
Zhan Zhao was startled, the reins trembled, and he wanted to chase her back.But he heard the screeching sound, layers of crossbow arrows, like thick clouds in the dark night, had been shot towards the star chasing hooves densely.Zhuixing hissed sadly, stopped in shock, Zhan Zhao flew up from his horse, jumped in front of Qingcheng's horse, blocked Jueying's way, and shouted: "Qingcheng, wake up!"
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan raised his hand slightly, temporarily preventing the dead men from Yipin Hall from firing their crossbow arrows again.He looked at Zhan Zhao, and said with a smile, "Lord Zhan, the princess has fallen into a deep dream at this moment, and it is useless for you to call out. She has been lonely all the way, and it is time for her to take a good rest. In this life, It's rare to be confused, why do you have to wake her up?"
Zhan Zhaozhi knew that Qingcheng had always been very determined, but just now when he heard about the ashes of his parents, his mind was agitated, and in a moment of carelessness, Zhang Yuan took the opportunity to enter and absorbed his mind.Recalling that day in Xiangyang Prince's Mansion, Chongqing Shuangying was also hit by Yipintang's mind-stimulating technique, and finally committed suicide to death.He felt extremely pained, but he also knew that this mind-bending technique was extremely difficult to resolve, if he forced her to wake her up at this moment, it might cause her mind to be disturbed, her meridians to flow backwards, and her life would be in danger immediately.For the current plan, the only way is to threaten Zhang Yuan with his life to force Zhang Yuan to solve his tricks by himself.
In my life, I have walked close to the Shura field countless times, but this time, I have stepped into an extinct area, which is very rare.Apart from himself, what he shoulders is her hard life, where his love is tied, and where his heart belongs, and he is determined not to be buried here.
He turned his head slowly, stood up straight, and tightened his fingers on the hilt of Zhanlu's sword one by one, concentrating the strength of his whole body.In front of him, on the left and right, there were twelve crossbows with killing intent in their bones, appearing and disappearing under the flames.If he misses one hit, there will be no second chance.
Vitality is like a gap, and there is no room for hesitation.
He stood quietly, his palms were full of strength, and with the next breath, Zhanlu would get out of the sheath!
At this moment, only a sharp whistle was heard, and a long arrow shot out from among the pine trees through the forest, the feather light was like snow, drawing a dazzling silver light, and shot straight in front of Zhang Yuan, and with a bang, he was shot The jade bucket in his hand was shot to pieces.All of a sudden, the pieces of jade scattered around, and a handful of gravel fell from them, but where are the ashes?
Zhang Yuan's trick was broken, he turned around in shock, and saw a horse standing far away in the dark in the forest, presumably it was the one who fired the arrow.He had always been suspicious, at this moment he was afraid that Song Ying's troops were in ambush here, his face changed drastically, although he saw that the success was within his reach, he finally waved his hands and shouted: "Let's go!"
The sound of hoofbeats rang through the forest like a cold wave, the twelve dead soldiers of Yipin Hall rode their mounts and surrounded Zhang Yuan, but in an instant, the flames faded away and he disappeared in the dust.
Zhan Zhao was pleasantly surprised, and rushed back to Qingcheng's horse.Seeing that she was shaking on the horse, her clothes were soaked in sweat, but her eyes were already clear, and she knew that when the howling arrow shot through the jade bucket just now, the mind-stimulating technique she had had was also broken at the same moment.He quickly held her hand and asked in a low voice, "how do you feel?"
Qingcheng opened her eyes, as if waking up from a big dream: "Just now... what happened?..."
Zhan Zhao said comfortingly, "No matter what happened, it's over. Don't think about it, just take a rest."
Qingcheng nodded slowly, feeling exhausted.Suddenly, as if his heart was moved, he turned his head and looked aside.
The waves of pines are bursting like thousands of plumes of smoke and waterfalls, filling the forest.Riding under the tree, the white fur cloak, like light clouds in the dark night, stood silently, watching her from afar.
The flowing spring turned into a stream of snow, reflected between her eyes, and melted into the fragments of her previous life in a trance.
In the vast and dark sky, the stars are lonely, and there is a long cry faintly.The man suddenly reined in his horse and galloped out of the forest.
Qingcheng was startled, let go of Zhangzhao's arm, raised his whip and hit Jueying's back heavily.Jueying hissed, and chased after the man.
Zhan Zhao was startled, he flew up, jumped onto Chasing Star, and followed Qing Cheng closely.
But he saw that person was far ahead, with Jue Ying and Zhu Xing's foot strength, he couldn't catch up for a while.During the gallop, more than [-] riders turned out from the foot of the mountain, all in white fur and light armor, like stars facing the moon, they gradually gathered all the way and followed behind the man.
The horseshoes have spun past one after another, the lonely shadow is persistent, the poor yellow spring, and the blue sky is gone.
Qingcheng urged the horse to gallop, with tears in his eyes.
The lights on the high wall are faintly visible in the distance, and the city is solemn and solemn.In the blink of an eye, this group of flying cavalry has rushed to the city of Yanzhou.Seeing that the city gate is open at this moment, Qingli is the leader, and all the horsemen are out. It is Di Qing who leads the Shenji battalion out of the city to pursue Zhan Zhao Qingcheng.
The man stopped slowly, got off his horse, and turned around.All the people behind him got off their horses and stood beside him.
In a blink of an eye, Jue Ying Chasing Star has also caught up to him.Qingcheng reined in his mount and looked at the man through tears.His face was resolute and tough, as cold as a rock, without the slightest emotion, only a pair of jasper-like eyes, staring at her closely, and refused to miss her.
She was dazed for a long time, then suddenly swayed and slipped off the saddle.Zhan Zhao was taken aback, jumped down from Chasing Star, reached out to help, but it was in vain.
She staggered and ran straight to the man.The pure Junben was hanging on her waist, and it kept stumbling in front of her knees while running, she pulled it casually, and broke the silk sash around her waist.With the sound of Canglang, Chunjun closed her sheath and fell to the ground, but she didn't even look at it, she went straight to the man, stood trembling for a while, without any hesitation, threw herself into the man's arms, crying bitterly.
Zhan Zhao stood silently for a long time, his heart was surging, he seemed to have some comprehension, and also seemed to have some emptiness.He stepped forward to pick up Chun Jun.The icy scabbard was held tightly in the palm of the hand, and there was even the slightest pain.
The guards of Shenji battalion rushed forward, and the green armor shone with the dim light of the city fire, surrounding the cavalry in the center.
The man still hugged Qingcheng in his arms, lowered his eyebrows and pressed his cheeks against her black hair.The people around him gradually gathered around him and Qingcheng, all with excited faces and tears in their eyes.
Qingmane Li stomped her hooves proudly, reaching in front of her.Di Qing sat on the horse, looked at the uninvited visitor coldly, and asked slowly: "Who is your Excellency?"
There was another long cry from the sky, the black wings lingered in the wind, soaring in the night, suddenly, it slid past like a bolt of lightning, and landed directly on the man's shoulder, looking forward to flying, it turned out to be a black falcon.
The man raised his head, and there seemed to be a ray of light in his green eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He was dignified and calm, without revealing half of his sharp edge.
The names and surnames that had long been buried by the years were slowly recited by him word by word.The inherent magnificence and the unforgettable sadness are intertwined, penetrating to the bottom of my heart.
"Ganzhou Uighur, Yeluohe, Yasu."
