Drunk Yangzhou

They galloped all the way, far away from the bonfire camps of all the troops, Xiao Ge felt that the surroundings became quiet, he could only hear the wind and grass, and the sound of the person behind him panting and drinking, he was held firmly in his arms, close to his ears It was the warm breath he exhaled, and he didn't feel the coldness of the grassland at night.

"You're going back tomorrow, I don't want to part with it." Fu Yiting was aggrieved like a child, and complained on his shoulder.

It's this bewitching voice again... Xiao Ge secretly sighed, every time Fu Yiting lowered his voice, and his tone softened and slowed down, he felt numb in his heart.

"I will wait for you." Xiao Ge leaned back on his chest, was silent for a moment, then turned his head in a mysterious way to give him a kiss on the face.

The people behind were obviously dumbfounded by his kiss, and then hugged him even tighter, gnashing their teeth and said: "Okay, Xiao Huaijie!! Tell me! Who did you learn this from!"

Xiao Ge was so strangled by him that he couldn't breathe, he coughed and said with a smile: "Do you still need to learn this thing?!"

"It turns out that you are self-taught... It's no wonder my father was so fascinated." Fu Yiting leaned over and bit his neck, "You guys from the Xiao family are so clever that no one can match. Why not..."

"You still don't know how?" Xiao Ge silently slandered, this person is too humble, he retorted: "Your Fu family is not bad, you know that Master Ru Hai from Moyang Buddhist Temple has been waiting for so many years for an entrustment, For whom? Not my father."

"Ah!" Fu Yiting exclaimed in surprise, "Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not telling lies. Ruhai is the younger brother of Master Shaolin Ruchen..." Xiao Ge sighed lightly, then turned around and patted him, "What do you want to show me, haven't you arrived yet?"

"It's here." Fu Yiting reined in gently, jumped down and hugged him, and untied the ribbon in front of him, "Look."

Xiao Ge looked up and couldn't help being deeply shocked, he had never seen such a sky before, on the dark sky, there were no gaps in the stars, dazzling, as if they were as low as the brows, as if they could be touched, meteors slipped from time to time The pendant dragged out a faint tail trace, connected several faint lights in series, and the frozen river on the original silver belt meandered towards the sky like a snake dancing, as if melting into the starry sky. He stood speechless for a long time before sighing: "It's so beautiful !"

"It's also the first time I saw it." Fu Yiting was filled with emotion in his heart, "When I was young, I heard my mother talk about the sky on the grassland, and I didn't believe it at the time—the stars in Qin Bei are sparse, how can there be such stars... I didn't expect it is true."

"Yangzhou is bustling at night, let alone the stars and the moon." Xiao Ge murmured, he thought to himself, this scene is probably something he will remember all his life.

The two lit a fire by the river and sat down. Fu Yiting took out the jade flute from his arms and asked with a smile, "What do you want to hear?"

"I thought you could only play the sunset flute and drum." Xiao Ge casually lay on the snow-covered grass, "You can play anything—hey, it won't attract wolves."

"The wolves are resting in their caves because of the cold." Fu Yiting smiled contemptuously, "Even if he comes, I'm not afraid of him, I have a whip." After speaking, he wiped his jade flute and put it to his mouth, and the melodious and long-lasting melody came out Xiao Ge was obsessed with listening to it, but seeing that person's handsome and romantic appearance, he even forgot where he was. When the song was over, he asked: "What song is this, why have I never heard it before?"

"I composed it myself." Fu Yiting tapped his arm with a flute, "Listening to this song, what can you think of?"

"I remembered the rainy day when I picked you up by boat when you first arrived in Yangzhou."

Fu Yiting almost burst into tears when he heard the words, he held him in his arms, "Actually, it was that day when I played the song correctly. Play this song together..."

Xiao Ge closed his eyes, tears were already falling silently, he leaned on his shoulder in silence for a long time, and said softly: "Qi Shao..."

"Ok?"

"...I want to give it to you." Xiao Ge's cheeks were flushed by the bonfire, but he didn't dodge his gaze.

Fu Yiting's heart trembled suddenly, and his Adam's apple rolled unbearably. He tried his best to support Qingming, let go of the person in his arms slightly, and said in a deep voice: "...No."

Xiao Ge stretched out his hand to pick up the branch, flicked the flame in front of him, turned his head and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Fu Yiting's abdomen was already swollen and sour, but his face was deep and calm, "I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid that you will be infected...Huaijie, if that's the case, the price will be too high."

"It seems that you and I are destined not to be able to live for ourselves." Xiao Ge sighed softly. He tried his best to let himself think about the whole of China, about the Qin and Wu armies, about the immature Longlong, the ups and downs of love Only after gradually calming down, he held his hand tightly, as if conveying his deep affection to him.

"It's enough for you to have this thought. I'll just treat it as if you had given it to me in Dongshan Well."

Fu Yiting smiled softly, he had long faded from his ruthlessness, especially when facing Xiao Ge, his soft and sincere eyes seemed to be able to melt everything, and his impeccable appearance flickered under the firelight, like a weak crown , A young lover who knows nothing about the world.He hugged the person in front of him, and was about to calm down again, when a gust of wind passed by, and extinguished the bonfire beside the two of them.

Fu Yiting was slightly taken aback, the turbulent emotion had revived just now, it seemed that there were only two of them left in the vast universe at this moment, he withdrew to look at Xiao Ge's moist and clear eyes, and was startled to feel that the bright stars on the top of his head were instantly eclipsed.

But I don't want to regret this life...

He heard Xiao Ge say such a sentence, and then he finally mustered up the courage to kiss his lips, his beautiful eyebrows, his slender eyelashes, every inch of his skin, every strand of hair...

He bit his fingertips, and then he heard his voice grow longer.

You are such a vixen!He didn't forget to tease him when he kissed him.

what do you?Wild wolves on the prairie?Xiao Ge smiled back at him, his arms that were exposed in the cold air clung to his neck again...

The man didn't reply anymore, Xiao Ge couldn't speak anymore, the long dark night gave people an irresistible impulse, Fu Yiting deprived him of all senses, made him almost pass out unconsciously, but he could clearly feel that time again It was more violent than melting and bursting... In the struggle almost drowning, he vaguely saw the star trails disappearing, the thin sun rose slowly, and heard the melodious sound of the horse-head qin in the field. I don't know which shepherd is pulling a An unknown ballad in a short key. [1]

He put on his fur and sat up, only to see that the thick ice on the bend of the Jiuqu River cracked and the sunlight slipped in, painting the river ice yellow.

Xiao Ge felt an emotion he had never felt before. He turned around and stroked the person lying on the ground, and said with a smile: "Qishao, spring is not far away."

When Xiao Ge returned to the palace of the capital of Qin, Wen Zheng had already clarified all the affairs in the palace, the personnel arrangements were properly arranged, and the snow-like reports were clearly arranged by category, but he himself was not in the palace, and Xiao Ge was not in time. Going to ask, after bathing and changing clothes, he began to look through the mountains of memorials. It was really disturbing, Xiao Ge realized that the Qin land is vast and vast, and there are many unfamiliar places that need to be compared with his ministers. After approving the memorials that he could handle, he left some uncertain plans to discuss with Wen Zheng and other ministers.

After reviewing until sunset, Wen Zheng still did not return to the palace. Xiao Ge called Bai Song'an over, "Song'an, did Mr. Wen say where he was going?"

"No. Mister told the guards that he was going out of the palace to do something, but I don't know the details."

The more Xiao Ge thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He got up and left the Limian Hall, and went to find the Fengmo room where Wen Zheng was. Once he entered the door, he felt relieved. The things he usually used were still there. When he searched inside again, he found that there was something wrong on the bed. put a letter.

Xiao Ge's heart sank violently, he quickly opened it and flipped through it, his hands trembled constantly, and his face immediately became as white as paper.

Bai Song'an stood in the outer room, secretly watching Xiao Ge's expression change from surprise, to anger, to indifference and calmness, and he was already extremely surprised. In his eyes, except for the dispute in Jinling, Wen Zheng and the lord almost had nothing to do with each other. They are coordinated, united, and respect each other. How did he know that since Wen Zheng was dispatched abroad, there has been a rift between Wen Zheng and Xiao Ge, and their opinions on some issues have diverged. The compromise and concern of the two are just thinking about the old companionship, but in essence they deviate from each other.

When Xiao Ge held the rice paper and remained silent for a while, he finally sighed deeply, put the letter in front of the candle and lit it, then threw it into the brazier, staring at it as it burned up.

He got up and walked over slowly, and ordered carefully, "Song'an, arrange some more servants to go to Mrs. Qin in Huzhou, Fengchi's hometown, so that she can take care of her and let her live for the rest of her life."

"At the end of the day, I will send an order to Tian Liang, and tell him to go to Zhejiang to dock." As Xiao Ge approached like this, Bai Song'an realized that the tears on his lord's cheeks had dried up. He didn't dare to ask about Wen Zheng any more, so he just lowered his head to agree.

"Invite Mrs. He from Zisu Hall, and I will take her to Yundian together."

"Ah!" Bai Song'an was stunned for a moment, "My lord, the affairs in the capital are complicated, why don't we stay for a while?"

"It's too late, let's pass on the order - first, all court reports from all over the country will no longer be sent to the capital of Qin, and will be presented directly to the king by the personal guards of the Wu army. Second, three thousand elites from Yetai will be dispatched to capture them together with the Fuzhou government army. The Red Scarf Army headed by Song Shiyi! Song'an, hurry up and make arrangements, this is more important than anything else!" Xiao Ge's complexion has slowly turned pale, but he still can't hide the sense of loss from his heart.

Bai Song'an suppressed the doubts in his heart, clasped his fists together, "The last general takes orders!"

Qin Chentian's four-year spring

The battle of defending the northern border for several months is finally over. Fu Yiting, Lu Yanqing, Lin Yizhi and others led only [-] Qin troops and repelled [-] Luocha troops. The Geerbiqi River, the Ergun River and the Outer Xing'an Mountains are the borders on the east side of the two countries.All the rivers and lands between the Udi River belong to Daqin. Subjects who enter the other country’s territory must be registered at the border, and all activities in the territory, such as business, must follow the regulations.The two countries need to strictly abide by the contract and be good neighbors forever.

After Fu Yiting finished his work in northern Xinjiang, he went south overnight. Only then did he realize that Xiao Ge was not in the capital. Several courtiers advised him to wait for Xiao Ge in the palace, but he refused to listen, and left the palace affairs to Su Yunpu and Lu Yanqing. So he went outside the hall and called Tangcheng.

"Tang'er hasn't been to Yangzhou yet, let's go for a walk, pack your luggage now, and show you the world!"

Seeing his anxious look, Tang Cheng suppressed a smile and wondered: "Master, are you leaving again? This..."

"Why, you don't want to?" Fu Yiting made a gesture to hit him, but then reacted, and said with a smile: "Oh, when He Chenge returned to the palace a few days ago, you can't move anymore! Whatever, let's go! I'll go by myself! "

Tang Cheng coyly said: "I still have to take a leave of absence from you...Chen Ge said that he wanted to go to the Northwest, so I wrote a letter to Mr. Li, and he made all the arrangements. He also said that General Duanmu would teach me martial arts... It is estimated that... the marriage will be held in Jincheng."

"Oh! Soon our Tang'er is going to marry a wife!" Fu Yiting couldn't help feeling that time flies, "Go, I will back up a big gift in the capital and wait for you to come back."

"Thank you, my lord!" Tang Cheng pursed his lips and smiled, "You should prepare gifts for Lord Lu and Lord Li first, we are still young, so don't worry!"

When Fu Yiting heard this, his heart was burning with urgency, and he turned around and went to the imperial stables to lead Taye,

"Okay, you guys! We've all made up a pair, and I have to hurry up and get things done!"

Tang Cheng looked at his back while striding like a star, and laughed so hard in front of the hall.

Fu Yiting rode his horse from Tongzhou in the north of Beijing to the south along the canal, all the way there were flowers blooming like brocade, and the spring scenery in each prefecture was charming, but he didn't have much interest in admiring it until he ran to the northwest suburb of Yangzhou City and saw the familiar Daming Temple. It was the first time he came to Yangzhou, but he had tied his whole life here...

When the bell rang again, Fu Yiting got off his horse and walked slowly down the hillside, thinking to himself, this time he came uninvited, so he must give him a surprise.

He was imagining how to make love after meeting, but when he looked up, he saw several silver armors standing beside the canal, the leader was wearing an indigo round-neck brocade robe with narrow sleeves, the embroidered cranes seemed to be flying around, and the jade belt with lotus pattern Outlining a slender body, with a brighter smile than Chunguang, Li'er was standing on his arm, looking at his old master proudly.

"Okay! It must be the boy Tangcheng who told you! Look at me and deal with him!" Fu Yiting cursed, but couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged the man's waist, and a familiar smell gushed out of his nose. The scent of rutabagas made him almost intoxicated, Li'er flew up knowingly, and Wu Jun around him coughed and looked away.

Xiao Ge pushed him away with a slight smile, pulled Ta Ye's rein and handed it to Bai Song'an, and led Fu Yiting down to the river bank, where a black-covered boat was already prepared, Xiao Ge untied the rope familiarly and started the oar, the small boat Slowly drift out.

"You feel better already?"

"The toxin has been completely dispelled, and Chen Ge said there is nothing wrong with it." Fu Yiting stretched his muscles and bones, took a deep breath of the misty haze on the river, and felt refreshed all over his body. "Which medicine can eradicate this poison?"

Xiao Ge just smiled and said nothing, threw the oars, let the boat float on the water, then took out a flower from his bosom and handed it to him.

Fu Yiting took it over and looked at it. There were seven petals in total, the color was pure white, and the texture on it was like a glacier in Tibet. "What is this? It's so strange!"

"It's true that nobles forget things too much. You have already seen it on Dongshan Mountain." Xiao Ge felt helpless, and stretched out his fingers to poke the sideburns of his new-born thick hair, "You saved that Orion's granddaughter to pick this Longchuan flower!"

oh!Only now did Fu Yiting remember that trivial matter to him, and he asked curiously, "How did you find the west of Sichuan?"

Xiao Ge couldn't help thinking of Wen Zheng, and sighed deeply. According to Wen Zheng's reminder, he had figured out the whole thing in Yundian these days.In fact, when it comes to the roots, it is all caused by the water of death.Many years ago, after Zheng Qian's father Zheng Meng and Song Ping returned from Shaolin, they both served as Fu Yao's personal guard left wing army, and the two had a good friendship.Later, Zheng Meng followed the lord to carry out the Dunhuang mission, while Song Ping and another team went to Yundian. People know that this matter should be covered up and hidden. After getting rid of Yu Zhiren in the tunnel, Xiao Wenzhou asked the court to build Moyang Buddhist Temple to cover up the entrance of the water of death... Originally, the matter was calm, but he didn't want Zheng Meng to spy on it.

Zheng Meng kept this matter in his heart at the time and kept it secret, but three years later he left Fu Yao's personal guards and came to western Sichuan by himself, married a bandit king's daughter, and controlled the entire power on the mountain. He also abandoned his daughter-in-law in his hometown of Yudi, and only brought his son Zheng Qian to the mountain, arranging a plan to seize the water of death.

What a perceptive person Fu Yao is, in fact, he has been suspicious of Zheng Meng for a long time, and he has been observing secretly since he left, because Zheng Meng once saved his life on the battlefield, and Fu Yao has never sealed him up. Zheng Meng has already started to act, and the secret of the water of death is about to be revealed. For the sake of the stability of the world, Fu Qiao led people to attack the mountain and set fire to the bandit den... Zheng Qian was lucky in this fire escaped people.

After the incident, when Song Ping heard about it, he was terrified and suspended his military registration in Qin. He returned to his hometown of Fuzhou, changed his name to Song Shiyi, and founded the Red Turban Army himself.

After Fu Yiting proclaimed himself emperor, Zheng Qian contacted him to lure him to seize the secret book of the Chief Cloud Club and avenge his father, but he did not reveal to him about the water of death. More people were involved in this turmoil.

"In order to pry his mouth open, I tortured Song Ping." Xiao Ge sighed: "I wanted to save him until you came over, so that you could personally avenge Qinglong, but he was old and couldn't handle it. He died in prison a few days ago."

"In the final analysis, the third brother died for the country... This time I go south, I also want to go to Qingliang Peak to see him." Fu Yiting's eyes were wet, but he knew in his heart that if he was in his father's position, he would also So deal with it.

"I'll be with you...to see Suzaku again, the chief cloud society is rebuilding very quickly." Xiao Ge stroked his cheek, "Chinglong will be gratified to raise the dragon to adulthood."

The two were silent for a while, the river widened in front of them, the vegetation on both sides of the bank was swaying, the spring willows were charming, the water was rippling, and the gulls and herons were playing and playing. Situation on board.

Xiao Ge smiled and said: "That year when you came, the soldiers were in chaos and the reception was not successful. This time I will show you around."

Fu Yiting looked at his stunning face, and said seriously: "I told you earlier, Yangzhou Fengyue, I have learned the lesson."

Knowing what he meant, the man couldn't help blushing, but his eyebrows stretched out, and the corner of his mouth smiled slightly. He was really plump and beautiful.

The faint voice of children reciting words came from the academy by the riverside, Fu Yiting listened silently, the words really corresponded to the situation here, he stretched out his hand and clasped fingers with Xiao Ge, and stood side by side on the prow of the boat, the awning drifted away with the current, mooring A round of red sun at the end of the shore does not set, and it pours the sunset light on the whole of China.

"Moyun drags the rain across the west building. The water flows eastward, and the evening smoke is collected. Outside the willows, the setting sun shines back and moves the curtain hook. Wushan is really good tonight, the flowers are not falling, and the wine is new.

The beauty smiled and turned her starry eyes.The moonlight is ashamed, holding Jinou.The singing fan lingers in the wind, blowing away the sorrow of spring.Just ask the friends in the south of the Yangtze River, who is like me, drunk in Yangzhou. "[2]
