Vicissitudes know Jinhua

Mu Zishi didn't seem to hear clearly, and said in a low voice, "I'm going to sleep."

After speaking, he pulled a piece of thin felt and closed his eyes, but his breathing was like a small animal under a bow and arrow, rapid and shattered, so tense that it would collapse at the touch of a touch, only to feel that Qi Wushang's eyes behind him seemed to have substance, piercing through the flesh and bones, stiffly Peel into the heart.

Qi Wushang asked: "Very serious burns... Who on earth hurt you? How did you get hurt here?"

Mu Zishi said shyly, "I don't remember."

The past that is deliberately forgotten by self-deception is like a prehistoric beast coming with its teeth and claws, easily destroying the locked memory gate.

How can you not remember?That day was Shu Jingshan's memorial day, Ge Shu Yepo was so insane that he didn't seem like a human being at all, even he wondered why he survived.

The burn was on the inner side of the thigh, clearly engraved in the darkest depths of memory, even if I tried my best to bury it and goug it out, it was like a nightmare in hell, the ghost would linger, and I would never forget it forever.

A large handful of incense burning vigorously in front of the spirit tablet, the humiliation and pain of burning the flesh, Ge Shu Ye's wild laughter, blood red eyes, and the scalding lamp oil dripping on the wound, like a mule and horse being beaten. Like a brand, there is nowhere to go to survive...

Such terrible abuse and insults, crying and begging for mercy after being completely crushed...Since then, on his bed, Mu Zishi no longer has a trace of dignity, only a body that can ask for anything is left for his lust.

How could it not be remembered?

But why did Qi Wushang see the burn?Why did he come to ask himself?

Blood was dripping with hatred in my heart, and I was so frightened that I wanted to go crazy, and my body trembled violently uncontrollably, like leaves falling in the wind.

Seeing that something was wrong, Qi Wushang habitually wanted to reach out and hug him, but just as his fingers touched his shoulder, Mu Zishi suddenly stood up and screamed, "Get lost!"

Qi Wushang was startled, and said softly: "What's the matter, Zishi?"

Mu Zishi's eyes were dark green, and his eyes were fierce, as if he had a blood feud with him: "Don't touch me!"

Qi Wushang realized something: "Okay, I won't touch you...but you have to tell me..."

Mu Zishi shouted in disgust: "I don't remember! I said I don't remember!"

Seeing him being so self-willed and unreasonable, Qi Wushen felt pain in his heart, he had vaguely guessed the cause of the wound, but his words were relaxed, and said: "If you don't remember it, you don't remember it, it's not a big deal, there are some... ...I get it all."

Mu Zishi looked at him suspiciously: "What do you understand?"

Qi Wushang's eyes were deep, and he said softly: "Isn't it Shu Polu?"

Mu Zishi was shocked, his eyes were filled with intense fear and hatred, he broke down suddenly and cried indiscriminately, "You don't even know how he treated me...I'm not the Seventh Prince, and I didn't kill his family... ...I'm afraid of him..."

In just a few words, the voice was already tearing and hoarse: "Why do you insist on forcing me to remember?"

After being confirmed, even though it was the worst possibility, Qi Wushang calmed down, even a little nonchalantly, put his arms around his thin shoulders, and wiped his tears with the other: "Isn't it because he bullied you? The sky is falling... I swear by Qi Wushang, if he doesn't die, I'll die with a thousand arrows piercing my heart. That's enough, don't cry!"

His voice was a little hoarse, and although he swore the most poisonous oath, his tone was light as if he was just going to kick a dog that bit him to death. He was so careless even in comforting others, and he was not at all tender, Mu Zishi cried. I was hiccupping, and I was so angry that I was dying.

But somehow, unknowingly, he was easily infected by his indifference, as if the unbearable past was nothing more than that. Anxiety also turned into plain anger.

Qi Wushang hugged him and swayed gently. After a while, he seemed to feel that the matter was over and there was nothing to discuss, so he changed the subject on his own: "I'll wait for you to take a bath and help you cover your legs. Are you comfortable? Crying I'm almost crying too, don't try to be lazy, it's your turn to wash my hair and wipe my back, there is a long-term relationship between coming and going, right?"

This is so exasperating!

Mu Zishi didn't even cry anymore, no matter how fierce Shu Polu was, how could he be as exasperating as the bastard in front of him?He lowered his head and bit his finger hard, blood gushed out and slowly snaked down the back of his hand.

Qi Wushang groaned, but felt relieved, then smiled wryly and thought to himself, it seems that Zishi has a habit of biting people, but he has never changed since he was a child.

The two were biting one and the other was bitten and stood silently, when the tent door was lifted, a figure flashed in: "Zi Shi!"

After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but startled: "Third brother, what are you doing?"

Qi Wushang greeted: "Stop rushing."

After thinking about it, "Zishi's leg hurts from riding a horse, take it out on me."

Qi Shaochong stood upright, frowning, with a look of disbelief shining brightly.

Mu Zishi loosened his teeth, but wiped away his tears on Qi Wushang's chest, then raised his head and forced a smile: "Why are you here?"

Qi Shao stared at the past with piercing eyes, and said: "Let me take a look at you... What did the third brother tell you? Why are you crying?"

Mu Zishi said perfunctorily, "You don't even know what we said about the past."

Seeing that he was holding a handful of unknown things, he asked casually, "What is in your hand?"

"Give your Imperata root, soak your legs and feet in water, it can relieve fatigue and reduce swelling." Qi Shaochong said as he put down the Imperata root, his eyes turned around, and he saw Mu Zishi's slender and beautiful calf exposed under the thin felt. Zhong Youxian's skin is like snow, as if shrouded in a faint light.Immediately, he couldn't tell what it was like, but he had to understand that his intimacy with Qi Wushang has always been far greater than himself since he was young.

Qi Wushang picked a grass root and chewed it, pressed it on the wound on his finger, smiled and said to Mu Zishi: "Do you remember this grass? I used it for you back then."

Naturally, Mu Zishi would not forget, and also smiled: "I also lost a tooth that day."

Qi Shaochong couldn't get in the conversation, so he waited quietly for a while, then Fang said: "Zishi, Uncle Wan sent a letter a few days ago, asking when we will be free, he wants to come to Yongliang to see us."

Mu Zishi said impatiently: "Didn't Uncle Wan already marry Ah Cai's mother during the Chinese New Year? It's time to live a good life. Before you are too old, you should hurry up and prosper the Wan family. Look at us... we What catches your eyes?"

Qi Shaochong felt a little chilled for Wan Jing, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Wan was sincere to us when we were in trouble, why do you keep alienating him?"

Mu Zishi bit his lip and said decisively: "Tell him not to come."

Qi Shaochong was silent for a moment, and said: "But he wants to come... well, if you don't see him, I'll just see him."

After that, he turned around and was about to pay the bill.

Mu Zishi shouted coldly: "Stop."

Qi Shaochong stopped in his tracks, only to hear his tone of sarcasm, and said: "You feel that you are the prince again now, and you are full of ambition, and you really want to reward him with some benefits?"

Qi Shaochong immediately retorted: "No! Uncle Wan is kind to me. Although he is in the market, he is a rare gentleman of benevolence and righteousness. I am willing to make friends with such a good character."

Mu Zishi smiled softly and said, "Since he is so good, then you can let him go!"

Qi Shaochong turned around in astonishment, but saw Mu Zishi lowering his eyelashes, and said: "Let his wife live peacefully, be a carefree rich man, and not get involved with anyone or anything in the palace, that is his blessing." .”

Qi Shaochong knew that he never targeted without reason, thought for a while, and asked: "Could it be...there is something wrong between the palace and Uncle Wan?"

Mu Zishi glanced at him, and his voice was very indifferent: "It's nothing strange, I just don't want him to have anything to do with you, me, or even Chen Jing... Don't rush, just take it as I beg you."

Qi Wushang looked at his color, sighed, got up and dragged Qi Shaochong out of the tent, and asked bluntly: "Is Zishi a heartless person? Is he an ungrateful person? Is he a person who clings to the powerful?"

When he asked, Qi Shaochong shook his head.

Qi Wushang said: "Since he's not that kind of person, why did he act like a bastard?"

Qi Shaochong was thoughtful: "There must be... there are joints in this matter that I don't know about?"

Qi Wushang smiled and said: "Isn't that enough? You don't know what he knows, and he told you to stay away from Uncle Wan, it must be for the good of Uncle Wan."

Qi Shaochong hesitated for a moment, then said sadly: "I have never kept secrets from him, but why can he keep secrets from me again and again?"

Qi Wushang smiled slightly: "The emperor gave you three secret letters, but you never told him what was written inside..."

Looking at him, there is a clear wisdom that penetrates everything: "He or you... or the dead Yupei, there are things that you don't want to be known."

Qi Shaochong lowered his head in thought, and suddenly asked: "What about you, third brother?"

Vaguely provocative: "Do you also have something to hide from Zishi?"

Qi Wushang lowered his eyes and said, "Yes."

"It's like just now, my heart is pierced by a knife, but I don't dare to show it. If I only care about my own sadness, it will be like stabbing him in the heart. If I can't hold on, he will be even more panicked and at a loss."

Qi Shaochong pondered for a moment, then whispered: "Why did he cry just now?"

Qi Wushang shook his head without answering, his eyes shone coldly, his cold and stern look was as sharp as a knife.

I really want to go to Beijing alone and kill Shu Polu regardless of everything, but the responsibility of guarding the land as a commander is a child's play that cannot be slack in the slightest, otherwise where will the [-] soldiers be put?Where to put the border people?

What's more, it is easy to kill a soldier of the Ministry of War, but it will inevitably be troublesome. You have to wait for an opportunity.

Back at Shelu Pass, Qi Wushang immediately ordered the whole army to be purged, the artillery was erected at the top of the city, and the rolling trees and thunderstones were ready, and he arranged for a thousand-man army to set up Nanke Mountain to guard the mountain road, to prevent the barbarians from secretly hiding their positions.

First arrange the defense properly, that is, invite the generals, the master book, and the army to discuss the matter in the accounts.Mu Zishi is also among them, holding the roll of grain, fodder, salary and silver, together with Qiu Mingxi.

Qi Wushang didn't talk nonsense, and he just said: "Three royal courts have emerged from the grassland in one breath, which has become a serious disaster. The Yongliang army must not sit idly by. A battle with the barbarians is inevitable. Everyone express their opinions. Let's see how we should fight in this battle." how to spell."

Mu Zishi couldn't help laughing secretly, Qi Wushang was really powerful in his actions, he only asked how to fight, but never asked whether he should fight, at the beginning he blocked the mouths of those generals who only wanted to defend the city.

As soon as he said that, seven out of ten of the generals in the tent were very excited. A newly promoted Zhonglang general named Wei Qi, who is best at light cavalry raids and heroic, immediately clapped the case and said: "Everyone has long wanted to fight After killing those bastards, I couldn’t hold back anymore! My lord defeated the Prince of Pulling the Sea the day before yesterday, and the sons and daughters practiced very hard! Just waiting for the lord’s order, let’s kill his mother with a knife!"

Qiu Si, Kuang Wu and the others, some of whom were in command, some of them were generals, all of them agreed, Qiu Si said: "The purpose of the country's raising soldiers is to stabilize the frontiers, and the grassland barbarians have harassed and harmed our people in Daning. Expulsion and killing is what it is."

Qi Wushang listened, then turned his eyes to several senior Zhenfu and Huaihua generals.

Among them is Zhao Mingde, who has the highest military rank and has been with King Fengjing for the longest time. After thinking for a moment, he boldly persuaded: "Little prince, we frontier soldiers have received the emperor's favor for many years, so we must put safety first, guard one side, and defend one side. Why, this is also the old way of the old prince's many years of fighting, Shelu Pass is the throat fortress of the northern land of Daning, and the barriers and barriers of Chenjing, there must be no negligence!"

Said that Qi Wushang's expression was the same, he felt at ease, and continued: "Furthermore, soldiers are fierce, so don't act rashly. Although the barbarians have set up three royal courts, they are nothing more than mobs who want to rob some livestock and property Well, if our army makes a move, we will flee far away, so there is nothing to worry about. If we are brave enough to go to war, it will hurt the saint's benevolence to keep the enemy close."

Qi Wushang was patient and asked: "Then according to General Zhao's opinion, what should we do?"

Seeing his expression, Mu Zishi said to Qiu Mingxi in a low voice: "Wu Shang, hurry up and slap your mother on the table, this old man surnamed Zhao is going to be in trouble."

Qiu Mingxi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My lord thinks that these peddlers are getting in the way, so it's a good thing to take this opportunity to get angry with them."
