Return on snow

On the third day of the first lunar month, the Wei army and the Liao army fought on the Li River.The whole Weiying water army was dispatched and intercepted the Liao fleet known as the "land duck".The two sides circled dozens of times on the river to rendezvous, and the Wei army took the lead. At this time, Yi Shu gave a categorical order: never go ashore.

Lure it for profit, take it for chaos.The front army of the Liao army was disintegrated, and the rear strength was not enough.Don't rush forward at this time, wait until Wei's reinforcements are in place, and then go ashore to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Xichuan returned to peace, the Liao army was defeated and withdrew, and the Wei army returned to Beijing triumphantly.

Today is a rare sunny day, and the snow has already covered the rugged mountain road tightly.Yi Shu took advantage of the moment of rest to sneak out of the team, and was bumped into by Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang: "Where are you going, Your Highness?"

"Good dogs don't block the way, make way!" Yi Shu pulled the rein tightly, and the scarred breastplate on the silver armor was faintly glowing white.

Zhou Yang: "Your Majesty urgently summons you to return to Beijing without any delay. You are running away now, and no one can afford the delay."

Unexpectedly, his father was brought out to suppress him, Yi Shu's eyes were gloomy, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Say it again, give way."

Zhou Yang swallowed, and took a step back: "Then your highness told me where you are going, it is best to send someone to follow..."

"To meet old friends, and I'll be back in three days." Yi Shu clamped his horse's belly violently, and the horse neighed and turned around, cleverly rushed out of the gap left by Zhou Yang, and galloped away.

Yan Guo, Su Wu.

In the Qingshi alley, the doors of every household are closed, so that people can't feel a little bit of the New Year.

A middle-aged couple passed by and saw a girl in pink with almond eyes and a round face sitting on the stone steps outside a house to the south.

The woman stopped and sighed: "This child sits at the door every day and no one cares about it. It's so pitiful. How about we..."

"Come on, you, didn't you see that Liao people came into their house a few days ago! Who can provoke those Liao barbarians? The guards in the town dare not take care of you? Hurry up, hurry up."

The woman was pushed two steps away by her husband, but she was still unwilling: "Then I'll give the baby something to eat, and I'll be right back." After speaking, she ran over on tiptoe.

Wan Tao only felt that someone had stuffed a warm paper bag into her bosom, and she opened it with her frozen little hands to see that there were two warm buns.Her dark purple lips parted slightly, her voice was still trembling: "Thank you, ma'am."

"No need." The woman looked around vigilantly, and whispered, "Is there anyone else in your family? If you stay here, if you don't starve to death, you will freeze to death."

Wan Tao shook her head, her eyes were a little dull: "My brother told me to wait here, and said that someone would come to pick me up."

"It's been so many days, where is there someone! How about... Madam find someone for you?"

Wan Tao still shook her head: "No, someone will come...there will be."

The woman sighed, stopped being troublesome, turned around silently and walked away.

Five years later, Emperor Chengxian of the Kingdom of Wei passed away, and the new emperor took the throne, named Chongren, changed the name of the country to Changyuan, and amnesty the world.

At the beginning of the reign of the new emperor, the military was greatly promoted, and many cities that the Liao Kingdom had seized many years ago were recaptured. Prosperity".

Chongren 13 years, winter.

At the foot of Chuzhou Snow Mountain, a four-horse horse-drawn carriage with wide-rut carvings slowly stopped by the side of the road.The two entourages on the side of the car quickly placed the steps, one on the left and one on the right to meet them, respectful.

A middle-aged man in black came down slowly. Just as he stood still, he turned around and stretched out his hand to pull down a young woman in a goose-yellow satin jacket and skirt from the car. His movements were delicate and gentle.

The man was dressed in a red-patterned robe with a black background, with a wide-brimmed jade belt around his waist.A pair of peach blossom eyes are perfectly curved, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the thin lips are tightly closed, which is as perfect as a carefully carved sculpture.Ben was born with a good skin, but after all, he couldn't stand up to the passing of time. He used to have a proud and unruly face, but now there is only a trace of desolation and solemnity left. The whole person is like a silent distant mountain, which makes people hard to figure out.

The woman in Chinese clothes behind took a white fur coat from the servant, and said: "Stay here, don't follow."

All the attendants saluted: "Yes, Your Royal Highness."

The mountain road was difficult, and after more than an hour, the two arrived in front of a tombstone near the top of the mountain.

Before the heavy snow had stopped, Yi Shu approached and stood still, lightly brushing the snow off the stone tablet.His wide palm rubbed against the rough stone tablet, and the coldness invaded from the palm, following the meridians and reaching the skin everywhere.

He suddenly felt a burst of warmth behind him, he turned his head and saw Wan Tao staring at him with a calm expression.

In a blink of an eye, Wantao has passed her peach and plum years, and she has become more and more graceful in the past few years.Every time he sees Wantao Yingying's twinkling eyes, he always thinks of that young man many years ago, who was never sad or happy, but his heart was surging.All his memories of him came to an abrupt end at that vigorous age.

After the ceremony, Wantao untied a translucent green and white ring jade from her waist and handed it to Yi Shu, saying, "Brother Yi, help me bury it."

This piece of jade has accompanied her through the most difficult period of time, and now she is the most beloved princess of Da Wei, and she is already a married woman, no longer alone, and her brother...she doesn't want to let him lie here alone again Under the icy soil, through year after year of wind and snow.

Yi Shu took the jade pendant, his thick eyelashes hanging down.He didn't even take the branches, and dug up on the dry, cracked and cold ground with his bare hands. The back of his hand was scratched by gravel, and he didn't stop.

The days when I could only meet him in my dreams were really too bitter.

Wan Tao didn't stop her, she stood up without saying a word and walked away, took a few steps, then turned to look at the man who was half kneeling in front of the tombstone, her eyes instantly became moist.

The last ray of sunlight fell, and the man had already removed his armor and was far away from the bloody battlefield.

The old man who galloped to see him back then had the same fate as his father, and died forever under the sword of the Liao army.

The wind and snow continued all day and night, and the old man would not return.

The thin and muddy boy who carried his sister on his back in the wind and snow would never walk towards him lightly on the mountain snow again.
