The General and the Mountain God

Mu Xu has been in a coma for half a month.

I don't know when, the young prince of Bian Nan Wang's mansion had the problem of lethargy.

At the beginning, Princess Bian Nan was very anxious and looked for famous doctors to treat him, but none of them could find out why.

Later, Ari couldn't stand it anymore, so she told the princess that the little prince had narcolepsy and it was fine.

The concubine looked at the pale face of the little prince with half-belief, and was relieved when she saw that Mu Xu's complexion improved as he slept.

After waking up this time, one of Mu Xu's biggest worries was that he fainted in front of Du Heng.

"Du Heng asked, what should I say?" Mu Xu pondered on the bed.

In the end, the mountain god decided to prevaricate with his delicate and frail body and his fear of the cold.

After thinking about the countermeasures, he summoned Lingyu to enter Du Heng's dream that night.

Du Heng was sitting on a rock waiting for him, and when he saw Du Heng, he ran over quickly.

Du Heng smiled at him and said softly, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." The mountain god unconsciously rose when he saw Du Heng.

"It's only been half a month this time, haven't you cultivated well?" Du Heng looked at him.

"Huh?" The mountain god didn't understand.

"Isn't it all a month before?" Du Heng continued.

The mountain god's heart sank, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze.

"The time when father was poisoned, and the time when he was shot by an arrow, you didn't show up until a month later." Du Heng controlled his emotions, and asked in a low voice, "Where did you go that month?"

"Benxian..." The mountain god didn't know what to say.

"You are recuperating." Du Heng answered for him.

"..."

"Every time you first come here, you look good, but the longer you stay, the worse your complexion will be," Du Heng said slowly, "It's not because you're afraid of the cold, but because the cold will attack your vitality."

"...You know everything." Mu Xu was a little nervous.

"If I don't ask Ahri, when will the Lord Mountain God plan to tell me?"

"..."

"When you leave me suddenly like Uncle Ming," Du Heng's voice trembled, "will you let me know?"

"Du Heng," the mountain god lightly supported his shoulder, and said earnestly, "I will always be with you."

"Stay with me all the time, why do you stay with me?" Du Heng's eyes were a little red, and his voice trembled, "You are consuming vitality all the time in Mobei, how do you want to stay with me?"

"I'm not in the way, besides," the mountain god held Du Heng's hand and smiled, "I can stay here when Mobei gets warmer."

"Is the palace very busy?"

"Huh?" The mountain god didn't understand why Du Heng asked this suddenly.

"Wang Biannan has already asked you to take care of the affairs of King Biannan's mansion, right?"

"Yes." Mu Xu replied.

"There is only one month of warm season in Mobei, and this is also the busiest time for Biannan Palace," Du Heng said in a very low voice, "Do you have time for my little prince to stay here?"

"Those things can be left to Ari." The mountain god said.

"What about other times?" Du Heng broke away from the mountain god's hand, "Continue to see if you keep getting hurt?"

"...I am willing." The mountain god said in a low voice.

"I don't want to," Du Heng raised his voice, then sank again, "Seeing your complexion getting worse day by day, I will feel distressed."

Hearing the words, the mountain god felt warm and ached, and still smiled and said, "I don't need to come to see you, until the day you take off your armor and return to Beijing..." Thinking of something, the mountain god happily held Du Heng's hand hand, "Our wedding wine can be dug out at that time."

A look of pain flashed across Du Heng's eyes, he looked at the mountain god and was silent for a long time.

"I..." When he spoke again, Du Heng's voice was low and hoarse, he paused, and he continued, "There is no day when I will return to Beijing without removing my armor."

"..."

"Even if Mobei is pacified, other tribes will continue to harass the territory. My father is dead, and I will take his place and stay here to guard the border for Da Chu."

Before the mountain god could say anything, Du Heng turned around: "Even without these things, the mountain god is an immortal, and Du Heng is just a mortal. In Du Heng's short life, it is a great honor to meet the mountain god. Don't hurt the fairy body for a mere mortal...It's not worth it."

"You are worth it." Mu Xu said softly behind him.

Du Heng's heart trembled, he held back the tears he wanted to break out, paused for a while, turned around and said to Mu Xu word by word: "From now on, I live in Mobei, you live in Biannan, we... ...Never meet again." Du Heng turned around, not letting the mountain god see his tears, and then said: "My lord, the mountain god, don't come to look for me in my dreams again, I hope the lord of the mountain god will keep his promise." After finishing speaking, he walked quickly Walked out of the bamboo forest.

The mountain god stood there in a daze, his mind blank.

Du Heng's voice kept echoing in his ears, as unreal as if he was dreaming.

This is a dream...

He laughed a few times, coughed up blood, then fell down, and the dream disappeared.

After returning to Mu Xu's body, the mountain god lay with his eyes open, motionless.

Seeing him like this, Ari has already guessed seven or eight points: "He wants to know, so I will tell him everything."

"Yeah." Mu Xu still didn't move.

"If you want to blame it, blame it," Ari walked to his bedside, "don't be so half-dead."

"I don't blame you, he will know sooner or later," Mu Xu said softly, turning his head to look at him, "I'm a little tired, I want to be alone for a while."

"Oh, then I'll make soup for you?" Ari looked at him.

"I'm in trouble, master." Mu Xu smiled at him.

After Ari went out, Mu Xu lay alone, his mind was full of Du Heng's last words.

We, never see each other again.

Du Heng was afraid of losing him, so he pushed him away...

Was it wrong for Ben Xian to choose this body at the beginning...

Mu Xu stayed in bed for more than a month this time.

After recovering his vitality, he summoned Lingyu to enter Du Heng's dream.

Du Heng saw the familiar bamboo forest and stood outside without going in.

The mountain god sat in the bamboo forest and played a song after another.

Du Heng was in a trance and listened quietly.

After waking up from the dream, Du Heng found a few more words on the bamboo tube next to the pillow:

If I yearn for it, I dare to go.

He rubbed the words back and forth with his thumb, and the circles of his eyes couldn't help turning red.

After a long time, he said softly, "If we meet again, I hope you and I will be free."

......

In the bamboo forest in Du Heng's dream, the sound of the piano never stopped, but he never entered it again.

......

Du Heng guarded the border with outstanding military exploits and frequent victories.

At the age of 19, Du Heng pacified Beihu and was named a general.

The emperor offered a marriage in the same year, but he refused on the grounds that "the war at the border has not been broken, and the minister has no intention of making a home".

At the age of 21, he went deep into Mobei to find and annihilate the main forces of the Northern Man. He pursued the Northern Man for [-] miles to Haiyan Mountain, where he held a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven.

Since then, the Mobei people have all bowed their heads to the Great Chu.

Du Heng was named the top general.

At the age of 22, Du Heng, a young war god general who was well-known inside and outside the pass, died suddenly of illness.

The emperor was heartbroken and held a state funeral for General Du Shang.

Mu Xu also went.

On the day Du Heng passed away, Mu Xu came to his side and kissed him for the first time.

Then he returned to Beijing with the chariots and horses that transported his body.

Then watch his burial.

After the crowd dispersed, Mu Xu appeared and sat beside Du Heng's tombstone, playing the piano quietly.

The clothes he was wearing that day were black.

......

King Bian Nan gradually retreated behind the scenes, and all the affairs of the palace were left to him to take care of.

He handled it like a normal matter, King Bian Nan was very pleased.

Since she told Princess Bian Nan that she likes men last time, Princess Bian Nan never mentioned marriage to him again.

Mu Xu was still laughing and playing around, and went out for a stroll when he had nothing to do.

Princess Bian Nan felt that he was not as happy as before.

Once I made up my mind to tell him that if he really fell in love with a young master, she could call the shots and welcome him over.

Mu Xu refused with a smile.

The kindness of the concubine is just... the person he likes cannot be welcomed back.

......

......

......

Eight years later, King Bian Nan died.

In the second year, Princess Bian Nan died.

In the same year, Prince Mu slipped into the water and died, and his relative, Ari, was also missing.

......

......

......

In the cave hidden by the bamboo forest, the mountain god dressed in red sleeps quietly.
