It's hard to seal a fool

Song Qingming had a dream. He dreamed that when he was eight years old, he learned to practice archery with Zhou Chongguan in the school field.

The archery target was very high, and their arrows would always be inserted obliquely on the target. Because he was still young, Zhou Chongguan couldn't even stand up.

"Master, do you regret hurting your leg in battle?"

"Stupid boy, what's there to regret." Zhou Chongguan patted his head. "In war, you will always be injured. It's just that some injuries may heal quickly, and some injuries may not heal forever."

"Then why are we still fighting?"

"Qingming, why do you want to go to war?"

"I want to be like my father, be named Marquis, and be the Duke of the country! As long as I have military merits, my mother won't beat me all day and say that I don't live up to it."

Zhou Chongguan smiled, "Master is different. Master fights to expel the aliens, so that the people inside the fortress will not die because of the war. It is meaningful for Master to be injured."

"Then I will also suffer meaningful injuries!" Xiao Song drew his bow, closed his left eye tightly, and shot his arrow.

Song Qingming woke up and leaned on the target in a daze.

He went back into the house afterward.Zhao Xi pretended not to know that he had been out, and the dignified prince went to the kitchen and served him a bowl of noodles.

In fact, Zhao Xi was two years younger than him, but when he and Zhao Xi were together, Zhao Xi was always more calm and rational. Although he was not good at words, even if they didn't say something, they understood each other.

"A good news or a bad news, which one should you listen to first?" Ning Rong came in, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"bad news."

"Xiagu Pass was broken, and Zheng Yuanming joined forces with the barbarians to plot against Qian Ting. Now the army of barbarians has driven into the country."

"What about the good news?"

"The land of Qi and Yue won a great victory. The two generals of Guide and Huaihua led the army to pursue them all the way. The king of Zichuan has already killed himself. The remaining three kings will either commit suicide or surrender, and it is not far away."

Qin Shou took off the gauze again. She brought the candlestick and waved it in front of Song Qingming's eyes, "Is it better?"

"The left side is still the same, you can't see it." Song Qingming sat by the bed and shook his head, "How much chance does Qian Ting have of winning against the barbarians now?"

"Qiyue's side has already divided their troops. I'm afraid that after this battle, the people's livelihood will be ruined. A long war must be bad for Dawu, especially for the people." Ning Rong sighed, "Our side is almost done. , also have to go to support the border."

"This suppression of feudal lords, conscription is fast, but there are also drawbacks. If the foreign aggression is difficult to overcome," Zhao Xi added, "when the spring is busy and the manpower is not available, it will affect the harvest for the whole year next year. However, marching and fighting, tax revenue It has to be raised. If there is another drought and flood, I am afraid that the foundation of the people's livelihood in Dawu will be shaken."

They discovered that Song Qingming was more energetic when he listened to the military report.

"What do you think?" Ning Rong asked.

"General! General!" There was a sudden noise outside the door. "It's me, Old Wang, let me go in... No need for me to tell you how many times, I'm not here to deliver military affairs, I, I'm a friend of General Xiao Song, this should be fine!"

Hopeful hurriedly went out to look, and came back and shouted, "Master, it's Wang Han, he's back."

Wang Han, Song Qingming thought that it was only last month that he was asked to surprise the water mouth, it seemed a long time ago.

"Let him in."

Wang Han came in with a blizzard all over his body. He closed the door and stomped his feet. When he saw Zhao Xi was stunned, he went down on his knees first.

"No need to salute, get up." Zhao Xi waved his hand.

"There are so many people here," Wang Han scratched his head and smiled, and then suddenly came forward, "General, I heard that your eyes... are still okay now."

Song Qingming nodded, "I can see a little bit."

"General, why don't you say that you and General Zhou are masters and apprentices." Wang Han started flattering again, "I think he injured his leg and still commanded the battle from the rear. , fuck off! You—"

"Tell me, what are you doing here?" Song Qingming had already learned how to communicate with Wang Han normally.

Wang Han plopped down and knelt down, "General, I heard that you are going to the border to stop King Zuo Xian. General, take me, Old Wang, with you. Look at how beautifully I fought in the battle at Baoshuikou."

"He won't go to the border." Zhao Xi said lightly.

"What, general, you don't want to go to the border." Wang Han looked into Song Qingming's eyes, and suddenly realized something, he stood up in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, general, it's all because of the old Wang's impatience."

Song Qingming sat by the bed, silent for a long time.Wang Han was afraid that he would feel sorry for it again, so he quickly winked to make Wang Han back away quietly.

But when Wang Han's words fell into Song Qingming's ears, it seemed that he was putting hope in front of him.

After a long time, he got up and walked outside the house.

Outside the house, the snow had stopped, and a thought suddenly sprouted in his heart, and that thought turned into a wish, which became more and more urgent.

Zhou Chongguan's words echoed in his ears, and he saw his immature self trying his best to draw the bow. He practiced archery for more than ten years, and now he was ruined, but the days and nights of these more than ten years, it was him Step by step, and have never regretted it.

The lanterns under the verandah are intertwined, and they still emit soft light. As long as there is still a little light left from the wax torch, one should not give up on oneself.

I shouldn't be doing this anymore.

"Zhao Xi."

"I'm here." Zhao Xi held his hand.

"As a general, as a great soldier, you are trading your life for the well-being of the common people. Even if I am injured and disabled, I am still standing, and I will fight to the last moment."

"What do you want to do?" Zhao Xi already had an answer in his mind.

"I want to fight."

Even if he sits in the rear and makes suggestions, now that Dawu's internal worries are still unresolved, and foreign troubles are repeated, it is the time for employing people. Does he still want to continue to mourn the spring and autumn in this damn courtyard?

"I want to lead my troops to Xiagu Pass," he said.

When night fell again, Song Qingming could already clearly feel the change of light and dark.

Zhao Xi sat in the wing room, and An He opened the door to come in.

"What do you want from me? Imprisoned in the clan mansion for treason?" There was a play in her eyes.

"Princess, there is something you may be interested in." Zhao Xi's Adam's apple twitched, and he tapped his fingertips on the table, "Perhaps your biological mother is still alive."

"What did you say?" An He approached suddenly, "What do you mean by that?"

She interrogated the people who used to guard the house in Fucheng. At first they were conscientious, but after seeing King Jin's indifferent attitude towards that person, they also became contemptuous.

It was all because they hadn't cared about her mother for several days that they let her starve to death in the house.

"But in fact, these are just tricks of the Southern Gu Sect. The princess's mother should have already taken the opportunity to escape." Haiyan took out evidence from his arms, "The characteristics of the corpse are consistent with those of the saint, but the bone flute beside her is missing. As for Fei, there are still many clues, and the clues we have found are all here."

An He took the paper and read it page by page. The evidence was definitely not collected in the past few days.Her hands were trembling, and she laughed angrily, "Why didn't you tell me this before, but now you say it? To play me? To let me do things for you?"

"Yes." Zhao Xi answered without hesitation.

"Then now, tell me what these are, it won't be discovered by conscience." An He threw the paper on the table and grabbed Zhao Xi by the collar, "You want me to take action to save Song Qingming?"

Zhao Xi raised his eyes, there is no such handsome person in the world, but his eyes are always alienated and indifferent.Nothing ever seemed to shake his mood.

He suddenly pulled off An He's hand, and slowly straightened his clothes.

"One is to return your innocence, you can leave after this matter, and you will not be wanted by the court; the other is that the court will do its best to help you find your mother's whereabouts. Two things, this king will make a deal with you."

"Are you worthy, Zhao Xi?"

"Three, this king is at your disposal."

He spoke in a deep and cold voice without any hesitation. An He tilted his head and suddenly laughed.

"Okay." She spread her hand, and a Gu worm slowly crawled out, "Qin Shou told you something. But even I can't restore Song Qingming's eyes to their previous state, fight poison with poison, at most It can only be cured to [-] to [-]%."

"condition."

"As long as you dare to let this Gu worm bite you, I'll treat him." An He raised his eyes and smiled.

Zhao Xi stretched out his arm, and his wrist was covered with frost and snow.

The Gu worm slowly squirmed and climbed onto Zhao Xi's hand, causing a sharp pain.

The moon passed the middle of the sky, and there was silence all around.

An He opened the door, and Qin Shou rushed after him.

"You can't really do anything to Zhao Xi, Song Qingming is my good brother, you can't let my brother become a lonely frog for the rest of his life, right?"

"Don't worry." An He turned around and bit Qin Shou's ear, "It's not a serious poison, it's just that he can't be hard for... three days."
