Tibetan thoughts

There is a border town behind the military camp in Yongzhou. Although it is in the border of Mobei, it is still lively with people coming and going.

"Ling Qing, wait for me here for a while."

"Okay." Ling Qing watched Ruan Suxue pick up a sheepskin blanket hanging by the door of a family and go inside, while he sat on the horse and looked around boredly.

The previous battle caused a sudden increase in the number of injuries in the garrison, resulting in a shortage of herbs in the garrison. It may be too late to wait for the herbs and food to be delivered together.Fortunately, some of General Qi’s former troops who were injured and left the station settled here in this town. They would always store up some food, grass and medicinal materials to send them in case of emergency. Although they are no longer in the barracks, they are still there The brethren who are stationed there to defend their homes and the country are admirable.

Ling Qing knew that what Ruan Suxue said was to let herself and her come to get the medicinal materials to protect her safety, but in fact it was to let herself go out to relax, probably because of the dull atmosphere lingering between herself and Yan Yunlie at this time, which made her Feel it too.

On the way here, Ruan Suxue said that since the general of the Liao Kingdom died in front of the battle, even if the Liao Kingdom's army did not retreat, the dragons would not dare to make any movement for a while without a leader. Now he can go back first and don't have to worry about them.

Ling Qing heard Ruan Suxue's words, but didn't immediately agree. Why didn't he want to go back? After hearing Dian Yao's last hint, he only wished he could fly back with a pair of wings like a goshawk soaring in the sky, but he was worried There is fraud in this.

Thinking of this, Ling Qing breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the hazy sky in Mobei, the snow hadn't fallen in the past few days, but the wind with sand and stones was still so severe that people couldn't open their eyes.

Ling Qing set his sights on a dark shadow not far from the town, and he noticed it when he came, that dark shadow looked like a small hillock, standing motionless on the ground full of loess flying In the sand, there is something weird.

Ling Qing thought that Ruan Suxue would not come out for a while, so he urged the horse to walk over there.When you get closer, you can see the mountain bag little by little. Different from the surrounding loess red rocks, this small mountain bag is a very huge rock, with a dark surface, shining in the sun, and full of file marks from time and traces of weathering.

Ling Qing dismounted from the horse and approached to look at it.The lower part of this boulder is sunken in the mud, but it doesn't seem like it was formed here naturally, it feels more like someone moved it here later.But why move such a big stone here?

Ling Qing stretched out his hand to touch the surface of this big rock, but unexpectedly, when he touched the surface of the rock, it fell down like sand. It must have been here for a long time, and the part exposed inside was new in color, with a It's a writhing texture like an earthworm.

This aroused Ling Qing's interest, and always felt that this rock was strange. Looking at it now, maybe it is not a rock. It looks like a rock on the outside, but there may be something wrapped in it.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and knocked the stone with the hilt of the sword he was holding.

"Ling Qing, what are you doing?"

Ling Qing stopped and turned around, and saw Xue Jifeng rein in the horse and jumped off the horse, walking to him, "I'm so anxious that Mrs. Qi can't find you... Eh? What are you going to do with this stone?"

"I found out..." But before Ling Qing finished speaking, Xue Jifeng dragged her away.

"Let's go, the soldiers in the station are still waiting for those medicinal materials."

Hearing what Xue Jifeng said, Ling Qing withdrew his thoughts, got on his horse, and rode back with Xue Jifeng.

The trampling horse's hooves kicked up a burst of sand and stones. When Ling Qing swung his whip, he couldn't help but look back at the boulder again. At this moment, the dark thing was no longer in the dust, standing so majestically, as if It has been there since ancient times, and no one can shake it.

When Yan Yunlie got up, he didn't see Ling Qing in the tent, so he jumped up in a panic, and was about to go out to find someone, when he suddenly remembered last night that Ling Qing had changed to another tent to sleep without saying a word. Yes, Xue Jifeng is still sleeping here, but there is no one in sight right now.

Ling Qing will not change tents for no reason, and based on his understanding of Ling Qing, all the previous performances all show that Ling Qing is building a line of defense against him in his heart, and the trust that Ling Qing has finally established in himself seems to be a little shaken .

There has been no communication between Tianzheng Sect and Tianjue Sect for many years. This time is so long that he thought that Tianjue Sect had completely become independent from Tianzheng Sect. For a while, I couldn't remember that the group of people who attacked me before were actually followers of the Tianzheng Sacred Church.No wonder "Fulan" has no effect on them, and the martial arts methods used are not like the Central Plains martial arts schools.

He remembered the note from Xie Tianji's ninth gourd... Could it be that the devil's rebellion refers to the Tianzheng Sacred Church?

He didn't intend to tell the matter of Tianzheng Sacred Church at first, he just wanted to solve it by himself. Ling Qing was pregnant with a child and didn't want him to bother him because of it, although the reaction of this child was not as strong as when he was thinking about Qin. It was violent, but it was unusual after all, but to his surprise, Ling Qing seemed to have known about the existence of the Tianzheng Sacred Church.

Yan Yunlie felt that at this moment, it was necessary for him to go to Ling Qing and explain the cause and effect clearly, instead of letting him get angry and alienate himself.

Dressed up and about to go out, the curtain of the camp tent was raised by someone, Yan Yunlie thought it was Ling Qing who had come back, and blurted out to him when excited, "Ling Qing, I just happened to be going to find..." Seeing the person coming, the following words I took it back.

It was Dongli Muyun who came in after lifting the curtain, and wherever he went, he could always see King Anyang following him.

Yan Yunlie didn't expect that it was Dongli Muyun who came in, and Ling Qing was not here at the moment, Yan Yunlie and the two of them didn't have much communication, even for various reasons, it should be said that they were at odds with each other The enmity between each other is just that each of them knows it well, but they haven't pierced this layer of paper.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became much weirder.

Dongli Muyun seemed to want to break the embarrassing situation, so he smiled, "I wanted to talk to Ling Qing, but I didn't expect him to be here... We will not have a chance to see you again after we parted with Master Yan at Wuhuan Mountain. I don't know how your son is doing now?"

Yan Yunlie replied with a cold face, "He's fine... don't bother the King of Eastern Zhou."

Dongli Muyun was devastated at once, and his complexion became not very good-looking. King Anyang always had the expression of watching a play, and even looked a little gloating when he saw this situation.

Dongli Muyun pursed the corners of her thin lips, and still put on a pleasant and polite attitude, "Yesterday, I worked hard in the battle, so I won't bother Master Yan to rest."

Turning around to leave, he heard Yan Yunlie say behind him, "Dongli Muyun, Ling Qing has always respected you as his elder brother and elder brother, don't you feel that you still owe him an explanation?"

Dongli Muyun was taken aback for a moment, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.Without waiting for him to say anything, Yan Yunlie spoke again, this time to King Anyang, "My lord is worthy of being a lord, no matter what he does, he always has such an expression of peace of mind."

The muscles at the corners of King Anyang's mouth twitched, and he turned his head away.

Dongli Muyun's face slowly froze, "Master Yan, you may as well speak up if you have something to say."

Yan Yunlie sneered disdainfully, and then those things that happened in the past quickly flashed in front of his eyes. He looked at the two people in front of him with half-closed eyes, his eyes were getting bloodshot, and the palm hanging by his side was slightly bent. stand up……

Why do I and Ling Qing have to bear such pain, and even spend a lifetime unable to bridge the abyss-like gaps between each other, while the original instigator who caused such a tragedy is still alive with peace of mind?

The murderous aura coming from Yan Yunlie's body was undisguised, Dongli Muyun's eyes froze, and he clenched the sword in his hand, "Master Yan... Master Yan?"

Yan Yunlie suddenly came back to his senses, the blood in his red eyes receded a little, and even the murderous aura on his body also dissipated a lot, but he still had a majestic, secretly compelling presence.

"Dongli Muyun..." Yan Yunlie said, his voice was a little hoarse, as if he had some emotion choked in his throat, and he couldn't express it, "Don't think that Ling Qing is living well now, and those in the past can be ignored... Ling Qing, and even what I have lost are all precious things that you have never thought of, nor have you ever seen."

Yan Yunlie raised his hand to touch his chest, and clutched the skirt of his clothes tightly, "Have you ever tried the feeling of being dug out? Have you ever hated yourself to the point that you can't forgive even death?... Both Ling Qing and I have truly experienced it. To this day, even to this day, Ling Qing is still haunted by the demons born of those things in the past, and although all of this was not done by you, it is because of you!

"Ling Qing doesn't want to be humane, and still treats you like a big brother. Knowing that you are in danger, and disregarding your own safety to save you, don't you feel ashamed of his friendship?"

Dongli Muyun was speechless for a while, his face was full of shock, Yan Yunlie quietly waited for his reaction.

But after Dongli Muyun was stunned, he didn't say much, but said in a low voice, "I will confess to Ling Qing face to face..." Then he turned around, lifted the curtain and walked out.

King Anyang looked at him, then at Yan Yunlie, his eyes were full of inexplicable meaning, and he also turned and left.

Outside the camp, King Anyang caught up with Dongli Muyun who was walking ahead in three or two steps. He saw Dongli Muyun's hand holding the sword trembling slightly, and said, "Ah, I didn't expect that you would also feel uneasy."

Dongli Muyun stopped, turned around, his eyes looked like a beast that was cornered, "Zhao You..."

He called King Anyang's name with a serious voice and a little sullenness, but he closed his mouth after calling, his lips squirmed twice, and then he spoke again, but the expression on his face was much more lonely, he staggered his eyes, and fell In the distance, "Since that incident... I have never felt at ease..."

King Anyang was taken aback for a moment.

Dongli Muyun just went on to say: "Yan Yunlie is right, I have been avoiding, and I am ashamed of Ling Qing's trust in me... because I am afraid, afraid that if I confess the matter to Ling Qing, there will be turmoil between us." I can never restore the close relationship as before... But in fact, it's all just my delusion, even if I keep running away, what has happened can't be changed, and Ling Qing and I are no longer the same..."

Then he turned his head and looked at King Anyang, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his smile was so bitter that it made people feel sad.

"Zhao You, that year I knelt in front of your couch for three days and three nights. After you woke up, you promised me that as long as I obeyed you, you would not pursue Ling Qing's fault... Lord Zhao, you tortured me so much. It's been a long time... it's time to relieve your anger, right?"

The last sentence seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and after he finished speaking, he walked straight to his tent.

King Anyang stood in place and watched his back, but he never chased him.

Yan Yunlie got out of the camp, asked someone casually, and found out that Ling Qing and Ruan Suxue left the camp in the early morning to buy medicinal materials in a border town behind, and Xue Jifeng went with them.

Ling Qing didn't share the same tent with him, so it's normal not to know his whereabouts. What Yan Yunlie was puzzled about was that according to Xue Jifeng's skills, he would definitely make a noise when he got up, but he didn't even notice...

Hearing the sound of horseshoes outside, he thought that Ling Qing and the others had come back, so he walked over, and then saw Ling Qing helping Ruan Suxue move things, talking to Ruan Suxue at the same time. Laughing.

An older lieutenant under Ruan Suxue came over to report on the situation of the Liao people that the spies had found, and then invited Ling Qing to live in the capital for a few days after he returned.

Yan Yunlie was surprised, how could this person look so familiar with Ling Qing, but heard Ruan Suxue sigh after the officer walked away, stretched out her finger and poked Ling Qing's forehead a little angrily.

"You...Although you have rejected General Qian's daughter, she still misses you. On the way to Yongzhou, I heard General Qian complain that his girl is just like him. Ken let go."

Ling Qing stretched out her hand embarrassingly and rubbed her forehead, "Sister, I'm also doing it for the sake of other girls... besides..."

"What more? The daughter of the general's family is proficient in all eighteen martial arts. As a female celebrity, she can't lose to those ladies who don't go out of the door. She looks very handsome. Let's talk about a matchmaker." There are waves after waves, but people only like you, if it weren't for that stinky boy Qi Zhao who is so big, I would want to take him in as a wife..."

Ling Qing fell silent, just stood there silently pinching and putting down the grass leaves in the medicine basket.

Ruan Suxue carried things into the tent and came out. Seeing Ling Qing like this, she raised her elbow and pushed him, "Just say a few words to me and stay here? What are you thinking? You can hide it from others but not from me." .”

Ling Qing seemed a little embarrassed, "Sister, I..."

Ruan Suxue put down the thing she was about to pick up in her hand, and patted Ling Qing's stomach with the back of her hand, "I know, don't you just miss this little bastard's other father? But Ling Qing..."

Ruan Suxue's tone became more serious, "Haven't you considered the future? Now that you have a Siqin, you will soon have another one, about the child, your relationship with Yan Yunlie... just plan to keep it a secret forever. ?”

Ling Qing's eyes flickered for a moment, and a little guilt surfaced on his face.

Ruan Suxue stretched out her hand, like an elder, brushing the messy strands of hair behind his ears for the young man, "Maybe you should think about it, not for yourself, but also for the children's background." Not everyone can understand it like I do...and Xiao Siqin's surname is Yan." Ruan Suxue put her eyes on his stomach, "This one should be with you."

Ling Qing raised his hand to touch his stomach, his eyes were full of doting, and he just said indifferently, "Thank you sister for reminding me, these things... I will think about it."

Ruan Suxue patted him on the shoulder and continued to move the medicinal materials in.

Yan Yunlie stood where they couldn't see, but he heard their conversation clearly. At first he clenched his fists and almost jumped out to ask Ruan Suxue not to talk nonsense in front of Ling Qing, but when he saw After the hesitation on Ling Qing's face, he calmed down.

After all, Ling Qing's position is different from his own, besides, which parent doesn't want their children and grandchildren to be full of children and grandchildren, and enjoy their grandchildren happily?

Siqin followed his own surname. At that time, all the martial arts people in Wuhuan Mountain knew that the leader Yan of Tianjue Sect had a son, so it is not an exaggeration to follow Ling Qing's surname now. In fact, he had already had such an idea. , but in order to make this child's identity justifiable, he cannot agree with such a method!

It's just that I always do my own way, and never care about the eyes and comments of the world. If Ling Qing is to be the same as himself, not to care about the remarks that may be made at that time... According to his personality, it is absolutely impossible. Ling Qing is that kind of person. For a person who thinks a lot, every little thing will be put in his heart, but this is precisely what makes people feel sorry for him.

Thinking of this, the corners of Yan Yunlie's mouth turned up involuntarily. Even if there are many things to face in the future, he will always be by Ling Qing's side and face it with him.

After all the things were moved, Ruan Suxue pinched Ling Qing's hand to feel her pulse, then waved her hand to drive him back to rest, so Ling Qing obediently went back to the tent where he slept last night.

Seeing him walk in, Yan Yunlie hesitated outside, then lifted the curtain and walked in.

Ling Qing was drinking water from a cup, when seeing Yan Yunlie come in, the expression on his face didn't change much, "What can you do with me?"

Yan Yunlie walked up to him and stretched out his hand to him, and saw Ling Qing retreat a little, avoiding it again without a trace, Yan Yunlie's outstretched hand curled its fingers and retracted, " I want to ask you, when will we return to Tianjue Mountain?"

Ling Qing glanced at him, put down the teacup in his hand, "Wait a few more days. If there is no more movement from the Liao people, we will leave."

"How many days?" Yan Yunlie looked at him incredulously, "But on Tianjue Mountain..."

Ling Qing didn't let him continue, "Are you worried about Siqin? In fact, when I was in Yingcheng, I had already sent a letter to Huai Die, asking her to go to Tianjue Mountain to bring Siqin down as soon as possible, and send her to Wanyue Villa also asked my father to meet them, and they should have arrived at Wanyue Villa by now."

Yan Yunlie was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a moment, he opened his mouth before making a sound, "Ling Qing...why didn't you tell me?"

"The less people know about this kind of thing, the better."

"But I am the father of the child! Why didn't you tell me before you did it?!"

Faced with Ling Qing's indifferent attitude, Yan Yunlie couldn't help feeling sullen. He didn't blame Ling Qing for making claims, but he didn't understand why he wanted to hide it from himself?

Ling Qing remained silent and did not answer him. Yan Yunlie reached out and grabbed Ling Qing's arm, turning him around forcibly, "Ling Qing...do you not believe me?"

Ling Qing didn't look directly at him, Yan Yunlie couldn't help frowning anxiously and shaking him, his tone was somewhat sad, "You really don't believe me?"

Ling Qing was probably forced to ask questions, so he raised his hand and pushed Yan Yunlie's hand away, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just for the safety of Siqin. Although Wei Yu and the others are on Tianjue Mountain, taking Siqin It's safest to hide in a place where they won't expect it. I just... don't want to see you do it again."

No one will forget that the child they lost was because of his willful behavior. They planned to trade with Huo Xian in exchange for the "adequate" method of dispelling Gu, but by accident...they let their child die I don't even know it in front of myself.

Yan Yunlie knew that this was a wound in Ling Qing's heart that he could never get over, even if it was him, every time he thought about it, his heart ached, but...

"Ling Qing, you are afraid that I will make another unforgivable mistake for Siqin, right?"

He thought that everything he did during these days with him would make Ling Qing think of him a little bit better, but now he realizes that nothing has changed...

In Ling Qing's mind, he was always the one who would act recklessly for his own selfish desires, and he was still wary of himself, and the trust built up between them was so fragile that it could be broken with just a little effort. dust……

Ling Qing stood there, fingering the teacup on the low table, "Yan Yunlie, I just want to ask you, if Dian Yao threatens the lives of Siqin or Tianjuejiao, what will you do?"

Yan Yunlie couldn't answer for a while, but he knew that even if he didn't answer, Ling Qing already had the answer in his heart, and he decided that he would compromise in order to protect Siqin and Tianjue Mountain.

"Ling Qing, if you were in my position, how would you deal with it?"

Ling Qing finally raised his eyes to look at him, but that look reminded him of Ling Qing who was full of murderous eyes, who was full of hatred and grief in his heart, and who was determined to kill himself...

Yan Yunlie's heart skipped a beat, and he was in a daze for a moment, only to find that the look just now was like his own illusion, Ling Qing was indeed looking at him, but his eyes were calm as usual.

"If I were you..." Ling Qing said, "I will never do anything that violates morality!"

Indeed, this is Ling Qing. Even though he also has the selfishness of ordinary people, most of the time, his chest is filled with the righteousness of sacrificing one's life, which is the pride and chivalry that people in the world admire and respect most.

Therefore, he can go to the great man alone to rescue the widows and orphans of loyal ministers and brave generals, and he can also get involved in the chaos of the imperial court that people despise for the sake of the people of the world.

Ling Qing also has selfishness at times, but he will make more sacrifices for that selfishness. Just like this moment, his selfish affair for Siqin will definitely make him pay more to get back his love. Peace of mind.

But he is different, Yan Yunlie thought to himself, Siqin and Tianjue Mountain must protect him, take care of his country, the world, and the people's livelihood, that's what the person sitting on the throne should worry about, and use these to change the world Taiping, is it fair to yourself and the people in Tianjue Mountain?Ling Qing has great righteousness in his heart, but he only wants to fulfill the responsibilities of a father and a leader!

"Ling Qing, even though you have asked Huaidie to take Siqin away, the top and bottom of the Tianjue Sect are still there, and I will not let them be in danger, whether it is your home country or your rivers and mountains. You should bet on the Heavenly Jue Sect, the lives of the people in the world are fate, and the lives of my Heavenly Jue Sect people should not be so contemptuous!"

Originally, he wanted to explain to him the relationship between himself and Dianyao, as well as the relationship between Tianjuejiao and Tianzhengshengjiao, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this.Yan Yunlie turned to leave, but Ling Qing grabbed his shoulder.

"Yan Yunlie, I advise you not to do stupid things again!" The solemnity in the words was the same as the strength of his subordinates.

"Stupid thing?" Yan Yunlie shook Ling Qing away with a stroke of internal energy, "Indeed, I, Yan Yunlie, never pay attention to morality when doing things!" After saying that, he walked away.

The curtain at the entrance of the camp came down with a "crash", completely blocking Yan Yunlie's figure from the outside.

As if the will that had been holding him up all this time was taken away, Ling Qing's weakened body tilted to the side and hit the short table, the teacup on it was shaken down and smashed to pieces on the ground, with a "crack" The sound startled him.

Ling Qing stared at the fragments of the teacup on the ground in a daze, and the hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists and trembled slightly. What Yan Yunlie said just now was still echoing in his ears. Notes in nine gourds.

The Devil's Rebellion...

As if something was churning in the bottom of my heart, but I was trying to suppress it, there was only one voice beating in my head.

Yan Yunlie cannot be allowed to do this, and he cannot be allowed to repeat the same mistakes!
