fluttering night wind

The Jialan Bodhisattva in tulle and heavenly clothes lowered his eyes and smiled. Thousands of ever-burning lamps in front of the Buddha statue illuminated the three people in the hall. If he hadn't seen and heard it with his own eyes, Mencius would never believe it. The femme-hearted young man of different races, and this beautiful Han woman who eats vegetarian food, recites Buddha, and has nothing to do with the world is actually a pair of living mother and son.

Xiao Yu's eyes were sinister, and he said: "Mother, don't be afraid, these thieves won't accomplish much, the boy will take his head off in a short while."

At this moment, Meng Ziying only felt happy, and spit out a cloud of turbid air in her throat, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yu, you also have today."

Xiao Yu sneered and said, "You Han people all flaunt benevolence and righteousness. Don't you feel ashamed to take an unarmed outsider as a hostage?"

Meng Ziying also smiled and said: "I will fight with you fairly, without hurting the innocent, what do you think?" Seeing Xiao Yu's gloomy face and not speaking, he tapped the nun's big acupoints one by one, Put her down at the feet of the Buddha statue, walk into the hall and shake the silver whip, staring at the other party with burning eyes.

Xiao Yu looked at his mother's face, which was not too bad, and knew that there was no way to avoid this competition, so she said: "That's fine, let's settle this old debt today."

The two fought from the hall to the courtyard, the sky was dark for a while, and the snowflakes danced wildly.The guards outside the nunnery heard the sound of fighting inside and didn't know what happened, and because of Xiao Yu's order just now, they didn't dare to rush in, they just stomped outside.

After fighting for two meals in this way, a group of troops rushed up the long street. The leader Xu Kuang led the Han garrison. When he saw dozens of Xianbei soldiers with machetes at the door, they immediately gathered together without waiting for Xu Kuang's order. Swipe the knife in hand.Xu Kuang got off his horse with a livid face, and when he saw a Xianbei man with a familiar face who could understand Chinese, he came forward and said, "General Xu, you can't enter without the order of Lord Marquis."

Xu Kuang frowned and said, "Young Master promised me that you would never cause trouble in the city. Now it's curfew time, why are you fighting here?"

The Xianbei man who spoke Chinese shook his head and said stiffly, "I don't know."

Xu Kuang clenched his waist knife tightly and wanted to go in. The Xianbei people rushed up to block the door, and the Han defenders in Youzhou became more angry and rushed forward to push and push.

The movement outside the door distracted Meng Ziying a little, Xiao Yu picked up the scimitar in his hand, and brushed past his neck, only heard a slight sound, a jade pendant hanging around his neck fell on the snow, his eyes As soon as he moved, he wanted to bend down to pick it up, but Xiao Yu's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, but he refused to let him do so. He stepped forward and kicked the jade pendant far into the Buddhist hall.

The Feiyan Concentric Jade was given to Bai Yansheng when he swore to Bai Yansheng, seeing being kicked away by Xiao Yu, Mencius Ying felt hatred in her heart, with a clear whistle, her meridians reversed, and she rushed forward again.Swords and whips face each other, clanking.Although the nun in the Buddhist hall couldn't move, her eyes were fixed on the courtyard. She spoke harshly, but she was still thinking about her child, so she stared intently.Suddenly something flew from the snow and hit the acupuncture points of her legs. She lowered her head and saw that it was a piece of suet white jade carved with two geese passing through it, and the feathers on the wings were counted one by one. Be clear.

That one glance already made her blood freeze.She suddenly looked up to see the two people in the courtyard, and let out a mournful cry.

The two fought fiercely, with both new and old hatreds in their hearts. Meng Ziying had a grudge against him for killing his teacher. Xiao Yu had also been tortured and humiliated by his subordinates this year. Savage and capable, accustomed to fighting in bad weather, he kicked up the floating snow on the ground, and while Meng Ziying squinted to dodge, he sent out a knife.

However, the knife was handed out, and it was difficult to stop after seeing it clearly. The nun in the Buddhist hall rushed to the courtyard at some time, hugged Meng Ziying, and the knife firmly stuck in her back.

Xiao Yu was shocked, and backed a few steps involuntarily. Meng Ziying was also very surprised. Although his acupuncture technique was not serious, he just showed Xiao Yu as a show, but ordinary people still did not recover so quickly. I didn't expect this woman Ni acted so swiftly, he hugged the woman in his arms, felt her warm body continuously bubbling with hot blood, and occasionally twitched once or twice.

Heavy snow fell in clusters.

A voice shouted from outside: "Marquis Annan, my minister is Xu Kuang. What's going on inside?"

Xiao Yu covered her eyes, not daring to look, and said shyly, "General Xu, you come in alone."

The gate opened with a creak, and then closed with a creak. Xu Kuang strode into the nunnery, turned around the gate for a month, saw the three people in front of the Buddhist hall, and was stunned.

Meng Ziying frantically tapped her acupoints to stop the bleeding, and felt that she was hugging her tightly, as if she wanted to pinch into her own flesh.

"General Xu", Xiao Yu bent down and picked up a bunch of scattered beads from the ground, handed it to Xu Kuang who came over, and said in a low voice, "Please send someone out of the city immediately to invite the emperor to come here."

Xu Kuang didn't know what was going on, so he muttered, "Master Hou, I'm afraid it's not convenient at this time."

Xiao Yu glanced at him, and Xu Kuang saw that his eyes were bloodshot, and his appearance was completely different from his usual one. He heard him trembling and said, "It's urgent, the general is going to invite you with the Buddhist beads. If your father wants to blame, I will bear it all." .”

At this moment, even though Xu Kuang had thousands of reasons, he had no choice but to hold it in his stomach. Before leaving, he glanced at the nun, thinking that he had been in Youzhou for decades, but he didn't know that there were dragons and crouching tigers hidden in this small nunnery, and asked softly: "Will I go?" Invite a well-known doctor in the city to come."

Xiao Yu nodded and said nothing.

Meng Ziying hugged the woman tightly to the nunnery and leaned on the futon. The knife was stabbed so firmly that even her chest was bleeding. Her eyes were out of focus and she only stared at one spot. Meng Ziying followed her gaze. , she tightly held the jade pendant she had just knocked off in her hand.Meng Ziying tentatively asked softly: "Master, this jade pendant is mine."

This sentence was like a Sanskrit sound, and the teacher's eyes immediately became clear, and he looked up at Meng Ziying, his eyes were complicated, as if he was crazy, and he kept trembling his lips as if he was suppressing something.

"Mother, please don't talk, Father Jun will be here soon."After going through the panic and helplessness at the beginning, Xiao Yu has already reacted. She rushed forward and took out Jinchuang medicine from her arms. She was about to give the medicine to his mother, but the woman stopped her with her eyes, and said weakly: "I I swore that I would never take medicine for the rest of my life."

Xiao Yu was anxious and frightened, she raised her eyes to look at Meng Ziying, but Meng Ziying's heart was boiling like a knife, and she silently shook her head.

The atmosphere of the three of them was strange, and the woman just stared at Meng Ziying, at this moment, she heard the mountain shout of "Long live, long live, long live" from outside.Xiao Yu was overjoyed, and said to himself: "Father Jun came so fast, yes, a spy outside the nunnery told him the news early in the morning."

Unexpectedly, the woman's face changed color, and she struggled, Xiao Yu was about to comfort her, when the sound of trampling snow came outside the hall.The three of them looked at the same time, and saw a burly man walking into a snowy night, wearing a black cloak, iron boots glowing coldly, with his hair tied and his crown waving as he walked, with a Chinese character face, and a handsome appearance. It sells noodles."

The woman trembled, and her face became more and more gray.

The big man's figure flickered, and the next moment he took the woman from Meng Ziying's hand, put his palm on her back, and slowly injected his true energy.

Meng Ziying was horrified at seeing this, and was deeply on guard.

It turned out that the unruly man selling noodles in the alley in the afternoon was Murongde, the current emperor of Dayan.

After coming over for about half a cup of tea, the woman spat out a mouthful of purple blood, Murongde gradually recovered his anger, and said softly in a low and hoarse voice: "Alan, are you feeling better?"

The woman opened her eyes and stared at him for a long time, Meng Ziying was taken aback, and saw her raise her hand to the big man in front of him, the emperor of the Xianbei people, and slapped the face very clearly, "How dare you lie to me!"

Murong De didn't evade, he didn't show any concern on his face, he still said kindly: "Alan, don't get angry, we'll talk about it later."

Two lines of hot tears rolled down the woman's eyes, and she cried bitterly: "You lied to my child to die! Murong De, you bastard!"

================= Unfinished

Xiao Yu and Meng Ziying glanced at each other, one was still ignorant, but the other saw the stormy sea and bottomless abyss.

Murong De said hoarsely: "Alan, I'll explain it to you later, so don't move yet." He was fluent in Chinese, with a slight accent, fair complexion, and the color of his eyes changed under the candlelight, even occasionally turning blue .Mencius remembered that the Murong family had the nickname "Bailu", and it was said that they were of the blood of the Hu people in the Western Regions.He glanced at Xiao Yu again, the two people were so similar, he was even more astonished.

But the woman ignored Murong De, turned to Meng Ziying with difficulty, she couldn't stop the tears, she opened her mouth slightly and said: "My son".

Meng Ziying was about to shake her head, when suddenly she felt a sharp gaze on her body, as sharp as a sword, as if it was about to split herself in two, he met the gaze, Murongde stared at him, the meaning in the gaze seemed to say: If you dare to say no, try it.

He just bowed his head and bit his lips without saying a word.

Xiao Yu next to him obviously misunderstood, and stepped forward by mistake, "Mother, I'm here."

The woman glanced at Xiao Yu as if she had just woken up from a dream, and then at Meng Ziying. Suddenly, she rolled her eyes and lost her breath.

Murong De sighed, closed the woman's eyes, laid her flat on the ground, Xiao Yu lay on her body and wept bitterly.

Murongde took the flying goose concentric jade from the woman's hand, the chalcedony was stained with blood, he wiped it on his sleeve, and walked to Meng Ziying.Chen Yuanda once said in his mind: This is the spring water and autumn mountain jade of the barbarians outside the Great Wall.

Murong De lingered on him, and said for a while: "I know this jade is not yours. You tell his master, if you want it, come and get it yourself."

Meng Ziying accidentally discovered a great secret in the world, she couldn't calm down, she was afraid that Murong De would keep her in trouble, unexpectedly he waved and said: "You go."

Meng Ziying saw that his expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be lying, so she didn't say anything more, turned around and left, and after walking a few steps, she suddenly heard a few words from behind: "Seven days later, the ruins of Hushiwubao in the north of the city will be buried in the ground for safety. .”

All the way out of the nunnery, the Xianbei soldiers inside and outside the gate did not dare to stop him.

It was a cold night and the snow fell silently. He stood on the streets of Youzhou, not knowing where he was going.At this moment, a pair of black hands stretched out from the long and narrow street corner and pulled him into the dark alley. it's me."

He took a closer look, in front of him was Li Xiangnan in black, and beside him was a familiar figure, he was about to shed tears, only to hear the man concerned: "Are you okay these few days?"

On a pasture in the north of Youzhou City, it turned out to be the largest horse farm in the north. The operator's surname was Hu. There was a strong Wubao on the pasture, which was called Hujiawubao at that time.Hu's business is very big. Not only the Han people in the south often buy horses from him, but even the Hu people in the north often exchange food, fodder, horse foals and other daily necessities from him in disaster years.Although the Hu family started as a merchant, they valued education, and there have been many scholars in the family for a hundred years, so they can be called a family of poetry, rituals and music.Just when the family fortune was flourishing, someone reported him for treason and treason, so the century-old Qing family fell in one day.At that time, the emperor of the Xia Dynasty imprisoned all the Hu family, and the racecourse was also nationalized.But the appointed officials were not good at management, and soon the racecourse was abandoned, and there was only an empty dock, which was dilapidated after the wind and rain.

A small tomb has been built under the stone archway, the soil marks are still fresh, there is a beard in front of the tomb, and the wholesale left lapel is burning paper money.Far below the city wall stood a big man with his hands behind his back, looking up at the weeds in the gaps in the wall.

Not long after noon, there was a sound of horseshoes in the wilderness.

Xiao Yu raised his head to the sky and roared, his hair stood on end, just under that whistle, it was enough to teach Shan Yu to break his arrows, make six armies change, and make heroes angry.The green horse was frightened, raised its front hooves, and knocked the person on the horse off. Before the person could stand still, there was a whistling wind attacking him.

Xiao Yu's eyes were stained with a layer of blood, and he struck fiercely, and said in his mouth: "Hand over Meng Ziying! I will never die with him!" He was heartbroken because of the pain of losing his mother that day, so he didn't notice how Meng Ziying When I left, I later thought of it with regret every time.If Mencius Ying hadn't disturbed the nunnery, how could his mother have died unexpectedly?

The man didn't want him to work so desperately, he had to mobilize his internal strength and fight with his palms, but he was merciful everywhere, and he didn't want to hurt him.

Just as the fists and feet of the two sides were facing each other, they heard an extremely old howling sound from the sky, and Murong De came out from under the archway: "Both of you, stop!"

Both of them stopped.Xiao Yu's heart was not calm, and he glared at the other party.

Bai Yansheng was fearless, and cupped his hands towards the Nine-Five Lord in front of him and said: "Ziying has already told me what happened a few days ago. Your Majesty, this lady's death is really a trick of fate. If you must settle the score, you must Remember it on my head. But the jade pendant is the token of my marriage with Ziying, please return it to Your Majesty."

Murong De stroked the jade pendant in his hand, showing an extremely bitter smile, and said: "Xuzhou General Bai Yansheng, do you know where this jade pendant came from? Who is this lady?"

Bai Yansheng was stunned for a moment, and said: "The jade pendant is my ancestral property, as for this lady, it must not have anything to do with me."

Murongde looked back at the unnamed tomb, with infinite tenderness, and whispered in a rustling voice: "This jade pendant is what I made love with my beloved back then. The one lying here is your biological mother, General Xuzhou."

Bai Yansheng's eyebrows twitched, like the east wind blowing over a horse's ears, he didn't understand it for a while.

Xiao Yu who was next to him was like a pot exploded: "Father Jun, what nonsense are you talking about! How could Mother..."

"Xiao Yu!" Murong De yelled, and frowned, "You must not be old or young. This is your half-brother, why don't you come over to see him!"
