Li Zhang

After Li Zhang used the maze to take Zhiqing away halfway, the two of them did not leave Muyi Mountain immediately, but stayed in the nearby hiding place they had already prepared.

Muyi Mountain has high mountains and dense forests. Although it is an isolated peak, it is connected with countless peaks from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain. The so-called blockade of the mountain road in Pingdu is just to block the road leading to the official road. If you really walk through the mountain, it is in all directions. Yes, it's just that the mountain road is steep and there are many cliffs and broken rocks, so Li Zhang and Zhiqing really didn't dare to go rashly.

The hidden shack was newly built by Li Zhang a few days ago. It is hidden under a cliff. Not far away, there is a thin mountain stream, which flows through the rock crevices and flows into a larger stream, which flows out in soup.

Zhiqing was drawing water by the stream. When she got up, she jumped onto the big rock by the stream. She set up an awning and looked into the distance. When Li Zhang came back, she jumped off the ground and turned to leave.

They have lived here for more than ten days. Li Zhang went hunting and inquiring for news a few days ago, but he has not returned yet.Although Zhiqing is used to his schedule every time he goes into the mountains, this time is different from the past, and the passage of time every moment becomes very difficult.She simply cooked some dry food and ate it. In order to prevent herself from thinking wildly, she sorted out the several medicinal materials she had just found nearby, compared the suspected poisonous weeds with the "Poison Classic", and carefully placed them on the other side.

After the marriage snatching incident, Zhiqing had a deep understanding of what Zheng Yiyan said before leaving, and began to consciously prepare her own self-defense poison. I have been searching carefully, and now there are only two or three types that have not yet been completed.

It's winter, and although the weather in the south is not as cold as in the north, it is more humid than in the north, especially in the mountains.Zhiqing was worried that Li Zhang's body would not be able to withstand such a climate, so she began to accumulate thick and long furs very early on. This time, she didn't bring anything with her when she came out this time, so she took the half-made fur clothes with her, and then she looked at the In the gloomy sky, while sewing clothes, he anxiously waited for Li Zhang to come back.

Li Zhang didn't rush back until it was dark, carrying a roe deer on his shoulder, but the two hind legs of the roe deer were gone, and a large piece was torn off Li Zhang's back, with dark blood stains.

Seeing this, Zhiqing was startled, and quickly helped him unload the things, twisted his body to take a closer look, but Li Zhang pulled him over.

"It's nothing, just scratched. Is there anything to eat? The dry food bag was grabbed, and I'm so hungry!"

"Drink some hot water first, take a rest, and I'll make it for you."

As Zhiqing spoke, he quickly poked the firepit, and lifted the lid of the earthen pot that was simmering on the fire. The shack was filled with a strong smell of meat and dried mushrooms. Li Zhang couldn't help looking, scooped up Send it to your mouth with a spoonful, and take a bite, so hot that you can't stop inhaling.

Zhiqing felt distressed when she saw that, so she tore half of the grilled bait she was eating by the fire pond and handed it to him, and took out a bowl of soup, letting Li Zhang put it first.

"How long have you been hungry? If you drop the dry food bag, come back first!"

"It didn't take long, it fell this morning. That guy must be starving too, he chased me all day..."

Zhiqing's heart twitched: "What guy?"

"...a leopard."

"elder brother!"

"I really didn't provoke it on purpose! As soon as I got the roe deer out of the trap, it suddenly jumped over. I can't take it this way."

"Then you give it the roe deer!"

Li Zhang suddenly felt embarrassed, lowered his head and said, "I want to try my own kung fu, but there is no..."

Zhiqing turned her back angrily.Li Zhang has a thin face and doesn't know how to deceive people, so he had to admit his mistake honestly: "I was wrong, next time I must give it the roe deer, okay?"

Zhiqing put the cut bait sticks into the earthen jar, rolled them thoroughly in the jar, took out a bowl and handed it to Li Zhang, and said angrily, "It was nearby when brother made the trap, right? Don't tell me you actually wanted to catch it!"

Li Zhang looked at Zhiqing in surprise: "Ah! My sister figured it out? It's amazing!"

Zhiqing was so angry that she picked up the wooden spoon and knocked Li Zhang: "I knew it! Uncle did the same back then! He has to fight with the powerful guy!"

Li Zhang flashed a smile, and could not help but let the wooden spoon fall on his shoulder, holding the bowl and concentrated on eating.

Zhiqing went around behind him, looked at the bloodstain with distress, carefully pushed it aside, and saw that the clothes inside were stuck to the wound, so she could only give up and wait for Li Zhang to finish eating.

After Li Zhang finished eating a bowl, he smacked his lips unsatisfied, hesitated for a while before putting down the bowl and chopsticks.Seeing his aggrieved gluttonous expression, Zhiqing pursed her lips and laughed, went to help him take off his thick coat, brought hot water to treat his wound.

Even though the wound from the sharp claws was blocked by the coat, it was still a little deep. The result of repeated opening and condensation was that the tear in the coat was tightly coagulated with the blood clot.Zhiqing carefully wetted it with hot water, and then slowly tore off the cloth that stuck to the wound.

The five scary paw prints swished across most of the back. In Zhiqing's eyes, they were still not as shocking as those old scars.While applying the medicine, she couldn't help but stare at the scars, and finally reached out and touched them.Li Zhang couldn't help but froze slightly.

It was the past that Li Zhang didn't want to remember, and it was the heartache that Zhiqing couldn't relieve.

For a long time, neither of them made a sound, until Zhiqing let out a long breath, Li Zhang said softly: "Sister, you don't need to be like this, I am fine now."

Zhiqing let out a muffled "Yeah", but in the end she was not angry, she couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "I like it and my brother hurts like this!"

Li Zhang was taken aback, and turned to look at Zhiqing.Zhiqing lowered her body a little guiltyly, and explained in a low voice: "At that time, they all said that he... for the sake of his brother, the old emperor... was exhausted."

Li Zhang lowered his eyes and remained silent, Zhiqing was a little flustered, and quickly explained: "At that time, I wanted to go to the capital, but my uncle refused to let me go. I couldn't let it go, so I went to inquire."

Li Zhang sighed, raised his eyes to look at Zhiqing, and said with some difficulty: "Maybe he really likes it. But I can't accept that kind of liking. He knows what I hate the most, but he still treats me... I died slowly in there, such a liking..." Li Zhang shook his head in self-deprecating, and then spoke, every word was full of ridicule: "What he wants is my surrender, what he likes, how can it be true? it's me."

Zhiqing listened blankly to Li Zhang's words, although she didn't understand, she could still hear the unresolved sadness, and couldn't help reaching out and hugging him.

Li Zhang sighed for a long time, held Zhi Qinghuan's hand in front of him, and continued with a little confusion: "In the past, I was very afraid of him, no matter what I did, I would inevitably be punished by him; Poor boy, without the status of a prince, he is just a mortal with flesh and blood; finally..., until the end, I realized that the most pitiful person has always been myself, no matter how hard I try, I can't escape being imposed on myself by others fate.

When my mother is here, I want to earn my life for her, maybe, I will continue to bear it.But, my mother is gone, what else do I need?I only have my own heart left, which cannot be taken away easily.In that case, I would really be nothing..."

Zhiqing was greatly mourned, and leaned on Li Zhang's back and said forcefully, "Brother! How fortunate is Zhiqing, to be loved by my brother!"

"Silly sister! You helped me! I used to think that I was really dead..."

Zhiqing was both happy and sad when she heard the words, she quietly shed tears as she buried herself behind Li Zhang.

Li Zhang patted Zhiqing's hand with emotion, and said to her and himself: "Since I have been reborn, I am no longer the old me. Why does my sister still want to let go?"

Zhiqing let go of her hand in embarrassment, still lowered her head, and replied with a heavy nasal voice: "Zhiqing listen to brother."

Li Zhang laughed when he heard the words, took the cloth towel and handed it to her, turned his back and went to tell the news one by one, and finally asked inquiringly: "Although the people in Pingdu have withdrawn, it will be uneasy to stay here again. How about we go north to find the teacher... Mr. Liu's library cave, okay?"

Zhiqing hesitated, stared at Li Zhang for a while, and said uncertainly: "It's cold in the north, and the clothes I prepared may be hard to resist. Although my brother's body has recuperated, he is still not fully recovered. What if I can't bear it?"

"Where can't I stand it..."

Zhiqing didn't answer, but just stretched out her hand to take Li Zhang's hand, touching her fingers to feel his pulse.Li Zhang suddenly felt a little guilty, and unconsciously moved his right leg.

Zhiqing's eyes were sharp, and she already knew what she knew at a glance, and she felt even more dissatisfied when she finished feeling her pulse calmly.

"Brother didn't escape the rain today? How can you catch the cold with your body!..."

Li Zhang didn't wait for Zhiqing to finish, and quickly surrendered: "Just a little, you see I don't have a fever..."

Zhiqing was out of breath: "You have to wait until you have a fever! You should have come back yesterday! You even got into a fight with a leopard!..."

Li Zhang laughed out loud: "Yes! That leopard is so bad, he insisted on fighting me!"

Zhiqing stomped her feet angrily: "Brother!"

Seeing that Zhiqing's eyes were red again, Li Zhang quickly stopped laughing, waved his hand to comfort him and said, "It's really not that serious, it's just that his legs were weak when he was jumping, and he grabbed it, so I gave him the roe deer leg." .”

Zhiqing bent down to look at Li Zhang's right leg, Li Zhang hesitated for a moment, then relaxed and handed it to her.Zhiqing rolled up her trouser legs, and there were still scars everywhere she saw.She sighed silently, slowly touched and pressed, and gradually reached the suspected broken place, and pressed down vigorously.Li Zhang trembled all over and held back the pain, but he couldn't keep his body natural anymore.The place where the bone was broken has been in pain for two days, and I can't hide it, so I can only smile secretly.

Zhiqing stopped nagging this time, went to the side of the shack and found a bottle of medicinal wine, and rubbed vigorously for Li Zhang.Li Zhang didn't expect Zhiqing's hands to be so strong, and he couldn't breathe in the pain, but he said with a smile: "Your sister has such strong hands!"

Zhiqing didn't answer, and after a while he said sullenly: "It's only effective when it hurts. How can you still go to the north with brother like this!"

Li Zhang said disapprovingly, "It's the same wherever it hurts. Don't worry, sister, I'm not that weak."

Zhiqing sighed, knowing that Li Zhang had already made a decision, so she stopped insisting.

A few days later, the two left Muyi Mountain, crossed Yizhou along the mountain road that Sima Yi had entered Ningzhou, and headed straight for Youzhou.

Outside the city of Zhangyuan where the wind was blowing, a few black shadows found hidden ropes from a hidden place, and quietly climbed up the city wall like civet cats, avoiding the patrolling soldiers on the city wall, and plundered into the city.

In the city's discussion account, Zhang Yuzheng, the partial general of the Dingbei Army, discussed the military situation with Rong Huan, the right general who was stationed in Zhangyuan, and discussed the recent changes in the Xianbei people outside the city. Zhang Yu kindly reminded Rong Huan to be on guard.Rong Huan was clearly emotional towards Zhang Yu, who was sent by Su Qingyang to supervise him, and said disapprovingly, "Yunzhong is a bone where Rouran and Xianbei dog bit each other. It's nothing strange if we don't bite each other a few times in a year!"

Seeing this, Zhang Yu didn't want to say much. After returning to his residence, Liu Yifeng, a personal soldier, reported to him: "Lieutenant Ling is back."

Zhang Yu hurriedly let Ling Yuncong in.

Ling Yuncong was dressed in crisp black night clothes, showing a cold and handsome face. After bowing to Zhang Yu and saluting, he reported the harvest of the past few days: "Two Xianbeis have settled in the Taipusi area, and each of them supports the elderly. Weak, yet eye-catching, there seems to be an internal change in Xianbei."

"How's the situation over there in the cloud?"

"The mourning army has retreated into Jiuyuan a few days ago."

"Is this giving way out of the cloud?"

"The humble job also thinks so."

"Cheng Xuan wants to unite with Xianbei..."

Zhang Yu pondered, Ling Yuncong gave another salute when he saw this, and retreated silently.

After Ling Yuncong was assigned by Sima Yi to the Dingbei Army, he was not liked by Su Qingyang and was directly assigned to Rong Huan.Rong Huan is Wang Yuzhang's confidant, so naturally he won't give him any good looks.He worked as a small soldier under Rong Huan's tent for half a year, until Zhang Yu came over, and was called to his side because he was so like Li Zhang. After that, he quickly established military merits and was promoted to a school lieutenant.

Ling Yuncong has lost a lot of weight than before, and his brows and eyes have lost the pride of the past, and he has become calm and cold. In Zhang Yu's eyes, he looks like the Li Zhang of the day, if not exactly the same.Therefore, even if Zhang Yu knew that Li Zhang's fate was more or less caused by him, he couldn't bear to be too harsh after seeing his calm and peaceful appearance. The tingling feeling in my heart.

Since Emperor Su came to the throne, Zhang Yu no longer had any definite news about Li Zhang, only that he was brought into the palace by Sima Yi for protection, and Zhang Yu was always a little uneasy about this.Now, every time he looks at Ling Yuncong, Zhang Yu always thinks of Li Zhang more than before, and slowly has the idea of ​​fighting side by side with Li Zhang again, and it grows densely day by day, making him Feeling a little heartbroken for no reason.

Wu Zijun became Su Qingyang's vanguard general, and he didn't meet Zhang Yu often, who always stood firm on the flank, but as long as the two armies were stationed no more than twenty miles away, he would always find an opportunity to come over to drink with Zhang Yu.The person who has always had a higher eye than the most reticent and disdainful person started to chatter after two drinks, talking about the past like a car wheel, Zhang Yu finally knew that this person he had known for many years had an unusually low drinking capacity and a shallow mind. His drinking capacity is the same.

Although there was no magnificent life-and-death fight after joining the army, their past has carried too many emotional collisions, engraved with the imprint of their growth, and it is like wine, which gets better with time.

Calvin has been there for a while, and now he continues to update.

From here on down is the end.I also hope to have an ending that I like.

Writing essays is also a game of development. Watching the characters I create with words take shape and develop little by little, and what I develop is my own ideas about many things.Therefore, I will not let too dark things pollute my own heart. Even if some ideas are naive and unrealistic, I still hope that they will always be like a lamp, shining on the road I walk.
