The Return of the Assassin Biography
Chapter 1
Can't be treated badly. "
"Understood, I will take care of it." Mu Yan replied to him.
…………
"Why did your majesty come out, it's better to go inside and rest!" As soon as he came in, he saw Murongli sitting in the pavilion.
"It's a little stuffy in the room, it's good to come out!" Murongli looked up at him.
"Qing Yu has news, he just said that he will return in three years." Mu Yan sat down opposite Murong Li.
"Three years, three years is just a moment of thought." Murong Li was in a daze for a while, and tightened his grip on Gu Chuanxiao in his hand.
"One more thing, King Zhiming didn't use any magic tricks like disguise. I've already confirmed this! The person who can be so similar to King Zhiming must be the prince holding the banquet, although I have never seen the banquet. A few years ago, I heard from the county magistrate that Zhiming has an older brother named Zhiyan who grew up in the ancestral hall and never cared about worldly affairs."
"Understood! Don't delve into this matter any further! So as not to startle the snake." Murong Li said softly.
"Your Majesty, take care of yourself. Don't let your condition get worse. Let's go back to the house and rest!"
"You go back first, I will sit for a while."
"I'm going back first! Remember to take medicine!"
…………
After resting for two days, there was no serious problem at all, but now he was a little bored, sitting in the pavilion with nothing to do, he casually glanced at the door, and saw Mo Lan rushing in.
"Your Majesty is better!" Mo Lan sat down opposite him.
"Okay, let the county marquis remember it like this!"
"Okay, that's good! You have to pay attention in the future, and you have to suffer yourself if you get sick."
The corner of Murongli's mouth raised a bit, just in time for Mo Lan to see it.
"Is your majesty smiling?" Was it his illusion? "It's the first time I've seen the king smile these days. The king smiles really nicely. It's a pity that you don't smile!"
"Really, am I so strange?" He didn't even notice.
"Your Majesty, King Kaiyang is visiting today, shall we go and have a look?" Mo Lan looked at him expectantly.
"From now on, you don't have to report all the affairs of Tianquan to me, and all of them can be handled by Zhiming Guozhu. I'm just an idle person who is a guest in Tianquan."
"King Kaiyang is here to offer tribute. In just two short months, I, Tianquan, has also descended to a country. I think Zuoyi will take this opportunity to mock our country!" Mo Lan lowered her head and played. Sleeves, like a wronged child.
"How long have you been here!" Murong Li asked!
"Ah! Just arrived, just arrived, just rang the court bell."
"Will it be too abrupt for me to go to the court?"
"Why, I'll go with you." Mo Lan stood up and helped him.
…………
"This is the amount of tribute promised before. King Zhiming needs to count it." Zuo Yi stood in the center of the court hall with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
"Please trouble King Kaiyang to deliver it in person, of course this king can trust me." Sitting in the court hall holding the banquet, he looked like a king.
"I heard that the power of heaven has the power to shine in the sky, and it is rich in resources and wealth. If I can take this opportunity, I will definitely come and see for myself what kind of big country Tianquan is under my Kaiyang, but now it seems that the king is very skeptical. Can the right of heaven I am attached to protect me from opening my sun?"
"Since Kaiyang is a vassal state of our country, our country will definitely support it with all our strength. King Kaiyang doesn't have to have any doubts."
"That's not necessarily the case. A king who can even hand over his own country can make people feel at ease. If one day, the Lord Zhiming smiled for Bo Hongyan and gave me Kaiyang to others, then what should I do! I Kaiyang Xiaoguo is not a gift, how can it be sent back and forth?" Zuo Yi still had that smiling face.
"Then what is King Kaiyang's intention now?" Zhiyan asked.
"If this tribute is going to be sent to Tianquan in the future, I still have to send it to Yaoguang, or I will send it directly to the Lord Zhiming, and I will send it to Tianquan if it is spared. You will pay tribute to Yaoguang before you warm up ! This time the journey is so far away, how troublesome it is to come and go.”
"We haven't seen each other for two months, and King Kaiyang can still joke! It seems that King Kaiyang really thinks about it!" Murong Li came out from the hall and stood beside the Prime Minister.
"Greetings to Lord Murong." All the officials greeted Murong Li.
"Murong Lord is well! Hearing that Murong Lord is in the sky, I had some doubts before, but now I see Murong Lord, I suddenly understand." Zuo Yi bowed his hands and bowed.
"Just now I heard that King Kaiyang had some doubts, so I couldn't help but come out, and wanted to clear up King Kaiyang's incomprehension," Murongli said, "King Kaiyang has two doubts: First, the property that the tribute should be sent to Where are you going? Then may I ask which country’s seal is on the document signed by King Kaiyang.”
"Nature is the right of heaven." Zuo Yi replied.
"Then this problem is solved. The second is whether the right of heaven can protect Kaiyang. People have to keep their heads down when they walk under the eaves, so that they can go a long way. Otherwise, they keep their heads up too high, and it is easy to touch the eaves." Hurting others and hurting oneself, King Kaiyang said, is this the reason?" Murong Li said calmly.
"What Lord Murong said is true!" Zuo Yi's expression turned ugly.
"I was originally a guest in Tianquan, and I shouldn't be involved in the diplomatic relations between your two countries. Now that I meet, I just say a few words. As far as the relationship between the three of us is concerned, Kaiyang was originally a county and now a subsidiary of Tianquan. Tianquan said The country is a subsidiary country of Yaoguang, from now on the kings of various countries can call themselves kings, I don't know if it is appropriate to say that." Murongli said.
"King Kaiyang came from afar and stayed in my Tianquan for a few days, but he can come and play around in my Tianquan." General Lu said hastily!
"Yes, yes, we will host a banquet tonight to clean up the dust for King Kaiyang." The prime minister quickly echoed.
"I won't bother you for a few days, take a rest tonight, and leave tomorrow morning to return to Kaiyang, and visit again when I have a chance." Zuo Yi said, originally wanted to ridicule Tian Quan, but in the end, he was so ashamed that he was unable to refute.
"Then please ask Kaiyang King to go down and rest first, come and show him the way." The banquet executive ordered.
Zhiyan saw Murongli walking out from the side hall.
…………
The song Lishang under the moon...
Murongli put Xiao away, stretched out his hand to touch the leaves of Yuqiong flower on the stage, why didn't it grow?
Mo Lan didn't come tonight, only to realize that he was waiting for him, now Mo Lan is the only one who can patronize him!Sometimes when I think about it, I feel a little lonely.
He walked out of the pavilion and reached the side of the brook. He leaned on the railing and looked into the water. A group of fish were chasing each other, leaving their free figures under the bright moonlight.
The moonlight is still the moonlight.
"Go get some fish food." Murong Li turned to the attendant and said.
"Yes" the servant turned and left.
"It should be here!" He lowered his head and looked into the water: "I don't know if it's still there, let's go down and have a look!" He climbed up the railing and jumped into the water.
…………
After reading a book for a long time, it is also a kind of relaxation to hear a piece of Xiao sound occasionally, but it stops after listening to it, and the song is not finished, so I can't help feeling a little regretful.
Zhiyan put down the book in his hand, got up and left the desk, and walked to the edge of the balcony, and Mu Yan followed.
They stood on the balcony and saw Murongli coming out of the pavilion, walked to the edge of the water pavilion and stood still, sticking his head out of the railing and looking into the water.
"What is he doing?" Zhiyan asked.
"Maybe I'm watching fish!" Mu Yan's answer was a bit far-fetched, after all, it was night.
"What is he doing?" If the question just now was just a casual question, then this one is a bit eager, and the voice is a little higher, because they saw Murong Li climbing up the fence.
"Do you want to dive again?" Zhi Yan said, using his hands on the fence, he jumped out.
"Your Majesty..." Mu Yan came to his senses, and dared to stretch out his hand to hold the banquet, but all he touched was his fluttering hem.
Seeing that Zhiyan landed safely on the ground, he let go of his heart. Mu Yan kicked off the railing and jumped down too. A shadow jumped into Xiang Xutai.
"What a handsome skill." Looking at his disappearing figure, Mu Yan said to himself.
☆、Chapter 8
Murongli dived into the water, stretched out his hand to feel along the rocks under the water, suddenly a person jumped down and hugged him by the waist, he was frightened, and suddenly choked on the water.
Zhi Yan jumped into the water and hugged Murongli by the waist, grabbed the railing on the bank, and jumped to the bank with all his strength.
Murongli coughed vigorously there, Zhiyan picked him up and ran into the building without thinking, Murongli was afraid of falling, so out of habit he wrapped his arms around Zhiyan's neck.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Murong Li coughed and called out, "Put me down, put me down quickly, I'm fine."
"Your Majesty, I'm really fine..." The banquet executive listened to him and ran straight into the building.
At this time, the servant came out of the room with a small plate of fish food, just in time to meet Zhi Yan and rushed into the room with Murong Li in his arms, seeing that both of them were soaking wet, he was frightened, and hurriedly followed , what happened after he entered the room for a while?
"Hurry up and bring some dry clothes." The banquet manager put Murongli down and let him sit on a chair.
The inner servant took out a set of obscene clothes from the closet and handed it to the banquet executive.
"Change out the wet clothes first." Zhiyan said.
"Your Majesty, let's go back first, your Majesty's clothes are also wet." Murong Li said looking at him dripping water all over his body.
Zhiyan lowered his head to look at himself, it felt like someone who was sleepwalking was suddenly awakened.
"Your Majesty, let's go out first, let Lord Murong change clothes." Mu Yan walked in and motioned for the banquet to go out.
"Go and boil some hot water for Lord Murong to take a bath and change clothes!" Mu Yan ordered the attendant and walked out.
…………
Early in the morning, Mu Yan went to the bedroom where the banquet was held, and saw that the banquet was already sitting in front of several desks.
"Your Majesty got up so early!" He said hello and stood beside him.
"You take this to Murongli later." Zhi Yan pointed to a small plate on the table.
"What is this?" Mu Yan walked over to pick it up and play with it.
"It's just a small dish for fish food!" Zhi Ban didn't understand, it's just such a crap!Do you have to jump into the water twice?
What he didn't understand was that he had already fallen asleep after he came back, lying on the bed thinking about it, only thinking that Murong Li went into the water to find something, and because of this possibility, he got up from the bed by accident and went to Xiangxu Terrace Water Pavilion I jumped into the stream and looked for it for a long time before I found this little dish.
Zhiyan stood up, sat down again, and said, "It's not early today! Go and talk to the prime minister."
"Yes."
"Also, Murongli should eat more." I didn't expect him to be so light.
"Fang Ye is gone, so he can eat as much as he alone."
"Isn't Princess Mo spending time there every day?"
"Yes, I got it!" Mu Yan withdrew.
Xiang Xutai
"The king asked me to bring you this plate." Mu Yan handed over the plate.
"Mu Yan is free right now!" Murong Li took the plate.
"nothing."
"How about sitting down and playing a game of chess?"
"Okay!" Mu Yan sat down opposite Murongli.
"It's been a long time since I touched chess pieces! I'm almost unfamiliar!" When was the last time you played chess? Was it with Gongsun Qian?Can not remember.
"Your Majesty, if you want to play chess in the future, just call your ministers over."
"A true friend is rare, but a close friend is hard to find." Murong Li dropped a pawn.
"Your Majesty did not go to court this morning."
"Why?"
"It must be because I haven't slept all night and I'm tired."
"Why didn't you sleep all night?" He looked at the plate next to him, and he understood it all at once!
"Perhaps I have a knot in my heart." He paused and said, "Last night, he jumped from the third-floor platform, which was more than ten meters high. I was frightened, but I could see his face clearly." foundation."
"Why do you want to dance?" Murong Li looked at him suspiciously.
"Didn't you see that the king is going to dive into the water?" Mu Yan dropped a pawn.
……
…………
"Why is the Prime Minister here!" Zhi Yan stood up to greet him, his feet were so deep that he dared not touch the ground.
"You didn't go to the court today, so I came to check but you were sick!"
He looked at the banquet, and looked at him with surprise on his face: "How can the king be dressed so well? What happened to the king's feet?"
"I wear white and black. I'm still me, and I've become another person." Zhi Yan spread his hands, dressed in plain white gauze, a wide belt, and even the embroidery pattern is white, simple yet unobtrusive Gorgeous and laid back.
"It won't change, you and I understand in my heart, change this clothes quickly." The prime minister looked anxious.
"Prime Minister thinks that Murong Li doesn't understand? He's just playing with the mind of heaven and man, and you and I can figure it out. Since he doesn't expose it, he must have scruples. If I don't have the power of heaven, I'm afraid I have already worried about it." There is a foreign aggression, and the world may also change according to the trend, what can he do to me now?"
"Your Majesty, it's better to be careful, you can wear this clothes however you want, but what's wrong with your feet! Let me see." The prime minister helped him to sit down, it seemed that he couldn't be persuaded to change the clothes!
"It's all right, but yesterday I stepped on a rock and twisted it." Zhiyan put his foot away so that the prime minister could not see it.
"You really don't make people worry, hey!" The prime minister sighed.
"Is the prime minister staying for dinner? It's been a long time since I had a meal alone with the prime minister." Zhiyan asked.
"No, I'm leaving now. I have to go and see Murongli today. He is in my Tianquan right now. I still need to take care of him from time to time. Don't make any trouble in my Tianquan and bring disaster to our country. You are too. What do you want to eat?" Just eat what you want, live as you want, don't let that monster affect you!" The prime minister's face was full of anger.
"Yes, I got it! Prime Minister, don't worry."
…………
Holding a banquet and practicing sword in the garden, the figure walks in the courtyard with the momentum of the sword, the cold light is flickering, only listening to the wind singing, and the graceful arcs point to the nearby bushes, where the sword energy goes, the tree body vibrates slightly , rolled up flying flowers.
Mu Yan just stood by and watched.
Zhiyan put away his sword, put it on the stone table, and sat on the edge to rest.
"Why is your majesty wearing white clothes these days?"
"Isn't it good-looking?" Zhi Yan frowned and looked at him.
"No, I just feel a little strange. Didn't you always wear dark clothes before?"
"Isn't it good to see you wearing white clothes every day? It's dull if you wear too dark."
"The king's feet are well!"
"It's okay! Didn't you see me jumping and dancing?" Even if it's not good, I can't walk in front of you with a limp. You can walk normally with this little injury. Besides, it's okay for you to jump off. Why? I just stepped on a rock?
"What has he been doing these days?" Zhiyan asked him.
"I don't know very well, but it's nothing more than reading books and raising flowers!"
"I saw you playing chess with him that day." Mu Yan didn't mention it even when he came back.
"Yes, I played a round! I still won!"
"Oh, really?"
"It's the king who doesn't care about chess, but just wants to find someone to talk to! He lives alone in such a big Xiangxu Terrace, and he has no relatives and no relatives in Tianquan..." He looked up at the banquet. Say the word "so".
"Are you blaming me?"
"I didn't, it's just that the lord mentioned the old things at the time, and I think he was missing the old man!" Mu Yan thought about it and said, "Maybe he wants to go back to Yaoguang!"
"Go back!" Zhi Yan frowned.
…………
"Why do you think the leaves don't grow?" Murong Li leaned on the railing and looked at the Yuqiong flowers he had planted.
"It's only been a few days since you planted it, and you don't know if it will survive. The flowers grow slowly. When I moved them from the mountains, they were almost grown, and half of them would die if I kept them."
"When do you think my pearl will bloom?" Murong Li took a sip of his wine.
"It will bloom for three years if it is well raised, but it may not be able to bloom if it is not good for seven or eight years." Mo Lan was already slightly drunk.
"Princess Mo is so elegant!" Zhiyan walked into the pavilion with his hands behind his back.
"My lord, the king is coming!" Mo Lan sat up straight.
"Passing by and heard your voice, come in and have a look." Zhiyan cursed in his heart, if I don't come over, I don't know how long you will drink, how can you drink until midnight every day?
"Why is the king wearing white clothes?" Mo Lan looked at him with strange eyes.
"I'll just change my clothes, why does everyone have to ask once when they see it, does it fit?" Zhiyan picked up the glass and poured himself a glass of wine.
"Looks good! My Majesty looks good in anything I wear!" Mo Lan nodded vigorously.
"It's really pretty!" Murong Li came over and sat down.
"Oh, really!" The banquet manager filled him with wine and showed a slight smile.
"As long as the king likes it!" Murong Li said and drank the wine.
"Drink less wine." Zhiyan said and filled him up again.
"It's not good to drink too much alcohol. Princess Mo shouldn't just drink with Lord Murong." He stared at Mo Lan with reproachful eyes.
"Master Murong, it sounds unfamiliar. It's better to be called A Li in the future." Mo Lan pouted and looked at him with reproachful eyes.
"Don't talk back, remember this, and drink less wine in the future." The banquet manager became strict.
"Understood." Mo Lan muttered.
It only takes a while.They both fell down drunk.
Murong Li squinted his eyes to see Zhi Yan, he knew in his heart that the person sitting opposite him was Zhi Yan, not Zhi Ming.
"Your Majesty is awake!" The attendant saw him wake up and brought the toiletries from the side.
"It's the first time I've seen the king sleep so well!" The attendant seemed in a good mood.
"I also feel comfortable all over." He stretched, walked to the edge of the balcony, and looked at the scene in front of him.
"What time is it now?" Why the sun has risen here.
"Noon," said the attendant.
Murong Li was suddenly startled.
"Do you still have the food and wine containers you used last night?"
"It's all cleaned up!" The attendant replied to him.
"How did I get back to my room!" It couldn't have been brought in by the banquet executive!
"His Majesty brought it in!"
"..."
"I'll go back after I've settled down with the king!"
"..."
"The king is going up and down for lunch, and it still has to be brought up."
"No need now, you go out first."
Murong Li stood on the balcony in a daze, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the Tianquan King City in front of him...
Waking up from a dream is another emptiness
☆、Chapter 9 Beginning with Liuli
The boat sailed for half a day, and the surrounding scenery gradually widened, and the towering mountains on both sides turned into endless plains.When the sun sets, the sunset glow dyes the sky and the river red, and in the gray red light, we can already see the sand castle standing in the plain.
When the boat docks slowly, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery on the shore. A row of planks stretches into the river, with a wide stone avenue in the middle, rows of houses on both sides, white walls, green tiles, and red wooden windows.
Zhiming disembarked, followed by twelve bodyguards dressed as merchants, and the rest stayed on board.
The Liuli Kingdom envoy had been waiting on the shore for a long time, when two officials on horseback saw Zhiming get off the boat, they jumped off their horses and went forward to greet him, followed by a group of soldiers.
"Your Majesty welcomes the King of Tianquan, and welcomes the King to the Liuli Kingdom." The three officials bent down and bowed. "Below is Yuantai, the guardian of Shacheng City. This is the child, Yuan Chuan."
"I'm Zhiming, please take care of me." Zhiming bowed to return the salute.
The city guard pointed to the two ships full of soldiers on board: "Please also ask the guards to disembark so that they can arrange dinner and rest for them."
"Don't bother the city guard, they will return right away." Zhi Ming said, Moyingguan still has a lot of troublesome things that have not been dealt with.
"Your Majesty, let's go back with a boat. Let's leave a boat on the river for a while. If the king needs it, it will be convenient for you to order. We are too many people, so we don't bother you to get off the boat and trouble the city guard. We will eat and live on the boat. " Zhuo Yan said behind him.
"Is this good?" Zhi Ming looked at the city guard, waiting for his reply. After the incident of Moyingjiang, he did not dare to take it lightly this time. He hoped that people with ulterior motives would not dare to act rashly when they saw the ship full of elite soldiers. is.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's hard to come to Shacheng once, if you want to enter the city, please let me know at any time, and the lower officials will send someone to arrange it." Yuan Tai also understood Zhiming's meaning.
The servants brought horses and two carriages, and loaded the boxes on the carts.
"Master Zhiming, please get on the carriage." The city guard made a gesture of invitation.
Zhiming got into the car, Dong'er handed him the wooden box, jumped on it together with Xiaopang, and the rest of the merchants followed the city guard and walked slowly towards the city guard's mansion.
The dinner party is the most tiring event, you can't just do whatever you want, you have to flatter, fortunately there are not so many cumbersome etiquettes in the court.
After the dinner, Zhiming sat in the courtyard, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and he looked at the scenery outside by the moonlight, the vermilion corridor and the blue glazed tiles. Unlike Tianquan, there are no tall buildings here, and they are all one-storey pavilions. The garden is full of flowers and plants, and everything is quiet and peaceful.
In the far sky, a bright star is twinkling, flickering on and off, I don't know what star it is.
I wonder if you look up at the same starry sky as I do.
"Your Majesty, rest early!" Xiaopang stood behind him, watching him in a daze for a long time, and saw some sadness.
Zhi Ming didn't speak, got up and walked into the room.
Hearing a faint voice of Xiao Qu, Zhi Ming got up and went to the window, leaning on the window lattice to look around.
It turned out that this was Tianquan, he was in his own bedroom, and the sound of Xiao came from Xiangxu Terrace.
Zhi Ming walked into Xiang Xu Terrace, and saw Murong Li with his back turned to him, wearing a red dress, standing among clusters of pure white Yuqiong flowers, playing the flute with his hands, as beautiful as a picture scroll.
"A Li!" Zhi Ming called softly.
Murong Li turned around, smiling like a flower.
Just because turning around this time became a glimpse in Zhiming's mind, and every time he thinks about it, his heart breaks.
"Why is the king here!"
"A Li smiled, Ah Li looks so pretty when he smiles."
He wanted to reach out to touch his face, but he couldn't reach it. Zhi Ming came to his senses and looked around for Murongli's figure, but there was only boundless darkness...
"A Li, A Li..." Zhi Ming called out loudly, his whole body was covered in sweat, and his hands trembled slightly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Xiaopang called him from the bedside.
In and out of the dream are dreams that cannot be woken up
Is it too heavy to give up easily
Dreaming in the cold night, if you catch a glimpse
…………
In the early morning of Yuri, the sky was just getting brighter.Hear the chirping of birds in the trees.
Zhi Ming got up and opened the window to let the wind into the room.
There is a quiet wind with the fragrance of green grass, as if you are in a vast grassland, which makes you yearn for.
The accompanying attendants had already woken up, and they were all waiting for the summons in their respective rooms. On the other hand, because they were afraid of disturbing Zhiming's rest, Xiaopang took care of Zhiming to wash up, and went to the front hall for dinner with Zhiming.
"Your Majesty, do you want to leave for Liuli Palace today, or stay in Shacheng for a while?" The city guard asked directly.
"Your Majesty, let's go tomorrow! It's hard to come here, and I have already agreed with Yuan Chuan to see their pottery coming out of the kiln." Dong'er begged behind him.
The city guard hurriedly answered: "There is indeed a batch of pottery coming out of the kiln today. If you are not in a hurry, you can go and have a look."
When did Dong'er play with Yuan Chuan, Zhiming thought about it, anyway, they just came out for a walk, not in a hurry to hurry, and not in a hurry to return, so they agreed.
In the afternoon, Yuan Tai led Zhi Ming and his party into the kiln construction site. Many workers were busy picking soil, water, and mud, and shuttled back and forth.
Along the way, Yuan Tai would introduce them one by one. A businessman is a businessman. How could they let go of such a good publicity opportunity.
Walking to the entrance of a kiln, a small supervisor officer saw Yuan Tai coming and ran over to ask for instructions. Everything was ready, and the kiln could be opened as soon as the auspicious time came.
"It's a bit messy inside, so King Zhiming should be outside. The next official ordered someone to move it out and watch it outside."
It is not allowed to enter the kiln at will, which will damage Feng Shui.
Yuan Tai ordered people to open the door of the cave, and brought a few people into the cave. After a while, the workers came out with the porcelain, and laid them out one by one on the shelves in the kiln shed to dry.
Zhiming picked up a wine glass, the pure white body was delicate and smooth, he looked at the soil next to him, it was amazing that such a vessel could be made out of such soil, it used to be seen everywhere in the palace , don't take it seriously, and will be moved by this ordinary cup now.
"These are not finished products, but need to be polished, glazed, fired, painted and many other processes." Yuan Tai said: "This batch is all daily necessities. This kiln is relatively successful, and not a few of them are damaged. , these have already been booked by merchants!"
"It's the first time I saw pottery fired like this. It's really interesting." Zhi Ming played with the small porcelain dish in his hand.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I found something very interesting, let's go, let's go, I'll take you to play with it." Dong'er ran over, hands full of clay paste.
"They're making billets. The lord might go and play for a while and make a few small objects as souvenirs."
Zhiming walked into the workshop and saw Dong'er was already sitting there making something in the shape of a big bowl or basin, and Yuan Chuan was beside him helping him.
"Your Majesty, look at the fun! Come and make one." Dong'er said
Zhi Ming sat in the empty seat next to him, Xiao Pang helped him pull the sleeves and straighten the skirt of the clothes, Zhi Ming reached out and grabbed the mud ball in the bucket and threw it in the center of the wheel disc, a worker came to guide him.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do!" Dong'er asked.
what to do?Zhi Ming was stunned for a while.
"Make two wine glasses." Zhi Ming said
"You need less porcelain clay to make wine glasses." The worker said as he pulled out a little of the porcelain clay he had put on it. "Hold the edge with your hands and squeeze it into the shape you want to make."
Zhi Ming pinched and squeezed the childlike heart, and it came at once, but it was always difficult to pinch, and the strength was slightly different, and it was flattened all of a sudden: "It's really interesting, Ah Li must also like to play, you can take it back when you go back." Zhi Ming blurted out.
He made two cups, a small flagon, a small saucer, and a small basin successively. He forgot the time when he played with it. Looking at the small objects in front of him, he smiled contentedly. This was the first time in a long time that he let He let down his guard.
"The lord, take a rest first! Don't be tired. I will put these in the next time the kiln is opened for firing. You can come and pick it up when the king returns to the country." Yuantai and others have been standing beside him for a long time. up.
"Alright!" Zhi Ming stood up, holding up his muddy hands.

☆、Chapter 10 Soul Returns to Hometown
At the end of March, light rain.
The morning is covered with fog, and the air is moist and moist when you take a breath, surging with the spirit of spring. The light rainy weather in spring always makes people feel a desolate tiredness. If it is in Tianquan, this kind of weather is suitable for laziness Lying lazily on the couch, resting with eyes closed.
Three carriages, a few horses, just such simple luggage, there is no war in Liuli Kingdom, so there are not many escorts, a group of about twenty people.
Xiaopang and Donger also got into the car with Zhiming, Zhuo Yan and Zhuo Fan were sitting in front driving the carriage, the car was shaking, Donger had already leaned on Xiaopang's shoulder and squinted his eyes.
I don't know how long he wandered around, Zhi Ming also closed his eyes.
…………
Baa...baa...
Dong'er suddenly opened his eyes, what's the sound?
"What time is it?" Zhi Ming also woke up.
"Your Majesty, it's past noon." Zhuo Yan stopped the carriage: "Your Majesty, come out and have a look, it's so beautiful here."
Dong'er turned around, opened the curtain of the carriage window, knelt on the cushion and looked out: "Wow..., it's a fairyland on earth."
Zhuo Yan opened the car door, and Dong'er jumped out.
Zhi Ming jumped out of the car and stood there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.
There are a few long white clouds floating in the clear sky, clean as washing. Under the blue sky, there is an endless grassland. There are small white wild flowers blooming on the grassland. Butterflies are dancing among the flowers, and white sheep are scattered in groups. .
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Dong'er hugged a sheep and waved at him.
This picture is too beautiful to be disturbed.
"Your Majesty, let's not leave, how about spending the night here today?" Dong'er was holding a sheep, and he refused to let it go!
Yuan Tai came over and said to them: "Let's take a rest here first, use some dry food, there will be a nomadic tribe passing by ahead, can we rest there?"
"It's all up to your lord's arrangement." Zhi Ming replied to him.
Even a steady gentleman like Zhuo Yan Zhuofan would roll on the grass, and Dong'er was nowhere to be seen after chasing the flock of sheep!
Zhi Ming also went forward and lay down in a bush. The green grass just covered the top of his head. A few butterflies flew by in front of his eyes. The sunlight was a bit dazzling. He simply closed his eyes, and the fragrance of green grass and flowers poured into his body from his nostrils. At this moment, The soul blooms leisurely.
Ziyu, we are back.
Ziyu, this is your hometown.
All opinions are a matter of destiny.
It's not that I met you, I never had the opportunity to lie on the green grass in my life, close my eyes, and enjoy the tranquility of this moment.
The heart has been cultivated by this peaceful atmosphere, the impetuousness has been calmed down, and the heart is only immersed in the gradually forgotten memories.
Because meeting you gave me the opportunity to escape from the blazing battlefield and the blood-stained country. I should be glad that you have been in my life.
When you come back triumphantly, this king wants to go out for a walk, why don't you go to Ziyu's hometown.
The words you said are still ringing in my ears, and the happy smile that overflowed from your eyes at that time is still in my eyes. In such a short period of time, the yin and yang are separated.I should regret, regret letting you go from my life.
In the past, being together every day only felt normal, and it was only when encountering death that it became profound.
…………
When the sun was setting, they saw the houses of the nomads, the walls were cut from stone blocks, and the roofs were reed huts.
Yuan Tai went to lobby the patriarch, let them rest in the clan for one night, gave them some gold and silver, and asked them to prepare some dinner.
People in the prairie are very hospitable, and because of the large number of them, they moved the table to the open space outside the house, and built a bonfire in the middle of the open space.
"These are the Baina people. They live by herding sheep and herding horses. When the grass here is finished, they will move there. When the grass over there is almost eaten, they will move back here again, just like this back and forth. We call them nomads." Yuan Tai, who was sitting next to Zhi Ming, introduced him.
"This kind of life is good, simple." Zhi Ming raised his glass and toasted Yuan Tai.
At first, a few villagers sang and sang, and after a while they stood up and sang and danced around the fire. Soldiers from Shacheng also joined the team. I don't know what they are singing, but what they convey is full of happiness.
Everyone in the seats clapped their hands in rhythm with them.
Zhi Ming picked up a glass of wine and poured it on the ground.
Ziyu, this is your hometown.
Ziyu, this is your people.
The scenes of meeting, getting to know each other and getting along with Ziyu in an instant are beating frequently in Zhiming's mind and invading his heart...
The ethnic group helped them build a few cloth sheds beside the stone house, which they specially prepared for the passers-by, because the stone house was full of their daily necessities and there was no extra space.
Zhi Ming couldn't sleep, he was lying on the grass outside the cloth shed, beside the brocade box he regarded as his life, the stars were shining brightly tonight, reflecting the shadow of the moon.
Zhi Ming looked up at the flickering stars, like fireflies flying on the cold lake of heaven.
Humans are but insignificant beings in the universe.
The wind blows, and the night is as cool as water again.
…………
Baa...baa...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, come out quickly, we are going to herd the sheep!" Dong'er called out from outside the shed.
Herding sheep?Are you not on your way today?
Zhi Ming came out of the shed, and saw Dong'er holding a white fluffy lamb with one hand, and a seven or eight-year-old child with the other. The child's face was black and glowing red. , dragging the ground in a colorful cloth.
Bunches of morning light shot from behind them, a bright and indisputable picture.
"Let's go!" Zhi Ming said.
How could such a simple request have the heart to refuse.
"Let's go!" Dong'er ran forward happily, with the lamb and the child running behind him.
Yuan Tai walked to Zhi Ming's side, and handed him a small stick with a rope tied to one end: "This is for driving sheep."
"Has your lord herded sheep before?" Zhi Ming took the stick.
"I let it go before, my father also herded sheep for a living, and later found clay near Shacheng.
"Understood, I will take care of it." Mu Yan replied to him.
…………
"Why did your majesty come out, it's better to go inside and rest!" As soon as he came in, he saw Murongli sitting in the pavilion.
"It's a little stuffy in the room, it's good to come out!" Murongli looked up at him.
"Qing Yu has news, he just said that he will return in three years." Mu Yan sat down opposite Murong Li.
"Three years, three years is just a moment of thought." Murong Li was in a daze for a while, and tightened his grip on Gu Chuanxiao in his hand.
"One more thing, King Zhiming didn't use any magic tricks like disguise. I've already confirmed this! The person who can be so similar to King Zhiming must be the prince holding the banquet, although I have never seen the banquet. A few years ago, I heard from the county magistrate that Zhiming has an older brother named Zhiyan who grew up in the ancestral hall and never cared about worldly affairs."
"Understood! Don't delve into this matter any further! So as not to startle the snake." Murong Li said softly.
"Your Majesty, take care of yourself. Don't let your condition get worse. Let's go back to the house and rest!"
"You go back first, I will sit for a while."
"I'm going back first! Remember to take medicine!"
…………
After resting for two days, there was no serious problem at all, but now he was a little bored, sitting in the pavilion with nothing to do, he casually glanced at the door, and saw Mo Lan rushing in.
"Your Majesty is better!" Mo Lan sat down opposite him.
"Okay, let the county marquis remember it like this!"
"Okay, that's good! You have to pay attention in the future, and you have to suffer yourself if you get sick."
The corner of Murongli's mouth raised a bit, just in time for Mo Lan to see it.
"Is your majesty smiling?" Was it his illusion? "It's the first time I've seen the king smile these days. The king smiles really nicely. It's a pity that you don't smile!"
"Really, am I so strange?" He didn't even notice.
"Your Majesty, King Kaiyang is visiting today, shall we go and have a look?" Mo Lan looked at him expectantly.
"From now on, you don't have to report all the affairs of Tianquan to me, and all of them can be handled by Zhiming Guozhu. I'm just an idle person who is a guest in Tianquan."
"King Kaiyang is here to offer tribute. In just two short months, I, Tianquan, has also descended to a country. I think Zuoyi will take this opportunity to mock our country!" Mo Lan lowered her head and played. Sleeves, like a wronged child.
"How long have you been here!" Murong Li asked!
"Ah! Just arrived, just arrived, just rang the court bell."
"Will it be too abrupt for me to go to the court?"
"Why, I'll go with you." Mo Lan stood up and helped him.
…………
"This is the amount of tribute promised before. King Zhiming needs to count it." Zuo Yi stood in the center of the court hall with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
"Please trouble King Kaiyang to deliver it in person, of course this king can trust me." Sitting in the court hall holding the banquet, he looked like a king.
"I heard that the power of heaven has the power to shine in the sky, and it is rich in resources and wealth. If I can take this opportunity, I will definitely come and see for myself what kind of big country Tianquan is under my Kaiyang, but now it seems that the king is very skeptical. Can the right of heaven I am attached to protect me from opening my sun?"
"Since Kaiyang is a vassal state of our country, our country will definitely support it with all our strength. King Kaiyang doesn't have to have any doubts."
"That's not necessarily the case. A king who can even hand over his own country can make people feel at ease. If one day, the Lord Zhiming smiled for Bo Hongyan and gave me Kaiyang to others, then what should I do! I Kaiyang Xiaoguo is not a gift, how can it be sent back and forth?" Zuo Yi still had that smiling face.
"Then what is King Kaiyang's intention now?" Zhiyan asked.
"If this tribute is going to be sent to Tianquan in the future, I still have to send it to Yaoguang, or I will send it directly to the Lord Zhiming, and I will send it to Tianquan if it is spared. You will pay tribute to Yaoguang before you warm up ! This time the journey is so far away, how troublesome it is to come and go.”
"We haven't seen each other for two months, and King Kaiyang can still joke! It seems that King Kaiyang really thinks about it!" Murong Li came out from the hall and stood beside the Prime Minister.
"Greetings to Lord Murong." All the officials greeted Murong Li.
"Murong Lord is well! Hearing that Murong Lord is in the sky, I had some doubts before, but now I see Murong Lord, I suddenly understand." Zuo Yi bowed his hands and bowed.
"Just now I heard that King Kaiyang had some doubts, so I couldn't help but come out, and wanted to clear up King Kaiyang's incomprehension," Murongli said, "King Kaiyang has two doubts: First, the property that the tribute should be sent to Where are you going? Then may I ask which country’s seal is on the document signed by King Kaiyang.”
"Nature is the right of heaven." Zuo Yi replied.
"Then this problem is solved. The second is whether the right of heaven can protect Kaiyang. People have to keep their heads down when they walk under the eaves, so that they can go a long way. Otherwise, they keep their heads up too high, and it is easy to touch the eaves." Hurting others and hurting oneself, King Kaiyang said, is this the reason?" Murong Li said calmly.
"What Lord Murong said is true!" Zuo Yi's expression turned ugly.
"I was originally a guest in Tianquan, and I shouldn't be involved in the diplomatic relations between your two countries. Now that I meet, I just say a few words. As far as the relationship between the three of us is concerned, Kaiyang was originally a county and now a subsidiary of Tianquan. Tianquan said The country is a subsidiary country of Yaoguang, from now on the kings of various countries can call themselves kings, I don't know if it is appropriate to say that." Murongli said.
"King Kaiyang came from afar and stayed in my Tianquan for a few days, but he can come and play around in my Tianquan." General Lu said hastily!
"Yes, yes, we will host a banquet tonight to clean up the dust for King Kaiyang." The prime minister quickly echoed.
"I won't bother you for a few days, take a rest tonight, and leave tomorrow morning to return to Kaiyang, and visit again when I have a chance." Zuo Yi said, originally wanted to ridicule Tian Quan, but in the end, he was so ashamed that he was unable to refute.
"Then please ask Kaiyang King to go down and rest first, come and show him the way." The banquet executive ordered.
Zhiyan saw Murongli walking out from the side hall.
…………
The song Lishang under the moon...
Murongli put Xiao away, stretched out his hand to touch the leaves of Yuqiong flower on the stage, why didn't it grow?
Mo Lan didn't come tonight, only to realize that he was waiting for him, now Mo Lan is the only one who can patronize him!Sometimes when I think about it, I feel a little lonely.
He walked out of the pavilion and reached the side of the brook. He leaned on the railing and looked into the water. A group of fish were chasing each other, leaving their free figures under the bright moonlight.
The moonlight is still the moonlight.
"Go get some fish food." Murong Li turned to the attendant and said.
"Yes" the servant turned and left.
"It should be here!" He lowered his head and looked into the water: "I don't know if it's still there, let's go down and have a look!" He climbed up the railing and jumped into the water.
…………
After reading a book for a long time, it is also a kind of relaxation to hear a piece of Xiao sound occasionally, but it stops after listening to it, and the song is not finished, so I can't help feeling a little regretful.
Zhiyan put down the book in his hand, got up and left the desk, and walked to the edge of the balcony, and Mu Yan followed.
They stood on the balcony and saw Murongli coming out of the pavilion, walked to the edge of the water pavilion and stood still, sticking his head out of the railing and looking into the water.
"What is he doing?" Zhiyan asked.
"Maybe I'm watching fish!" Mu Yan's answer was a bit far-fetched, after all, it was night.
"What is he doing?" If the question just now was just a casual question, then this one is a bit eager, and the voice is a little higher, because they saw Murong Li climbing up the fence.
"Do you want to dive again?" Zhi Yan said, using his hands on the fence, he jumped out.
"Your Majesty..." Mu Yan came to his senses, and dared to stretch out his hand to hold the banquet, but all he touched was his fluttering hem.
Seeing that Zhiyan landed safely on the ground, he let go of his heart. Mu Yan kicked off the railing and jumped down too. A shadow jumped into Xiang Xutai.
"What a handsome skill." Looking at his disappearing figure, Mu Yan said to himself.
☆、Chapter 8
Murongli dived into the water, stretched out his hand to feel along the rocks under the water, suddenly a person jumped down and hugged him by the waist, he was frightened, and suddenly choked on the water.
Zhi Yan jumped into the water and hugged Murongli by the waist, grabbed the railing on the bank, and jumped to the bank with all his strength.
Murongli coughed vigorously there, Zhiyan picked him up and ran into the building without thinking, Murongli was afraid of falling, so out of habit he wrapped his arms around Zhiyan's neck.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Murong Li coughed and called out, "Put me down, put me down quickly, I'm fine."
"Your Majesty, I'm really fine..." The banquet executive listened to him and ran straight into the building.
At this time, the servant came out of the room with a small plate of fish food, just in time to meet Zhi Yan and rushed into the room with Murong Li in his arms, seeing that both of them were soaking wet, he was frightened, and hurriedly followed , what happened after he entered the room for a while?
"Hurry up and bring some dry clothes." The banquet manager put Murongli down and let him sit on a chair.
The inner servant took out a set of obscene clothes from the closet and handed it to the banquet executive.
"Change out the wet clothes first." Zhiyan said.
"Your Majesty, let's go back first, your Majesty's clothes are also wet." Murong Li said looking at him dripping water all over his body.
Zhiyan lowered his head to look at himself, it felt like someone who was sleepwalking was suddenly awakened.
"Your Majesty, let's go out first, let Lord Murong change clothes." Mu Yan walked in and motioned for the banquet to go out.
"Go and boil some hot water for Lord Murong to take a bath and change clothes!" Mu Yan ordered the attendant and walked out.
…………
Early in the morning, Mu Yan went to the bedroom where the banquet was held, and saw that the banquet was already sitting in front of several desks.
"Your Majesty got up so early!" He said hello and stood beside him.
"You take this to Murongli later." Zhi Yan pointed to a small plate on the table.
"What is this?" Mu Yan walked over to pick it up and play with it.
"It's just a small dish for fish food!" Zhi Ban didn't understand, it's just such a crap!Do you have to jump into the water twice?
What he didn't understand was that he had already fallen asleep after he came back, lying on the bed thinking about it, only thinking that Murong Li went into the water to find something, and because of this possibility, he got up from the bed by accident and went to Xiangxu Terrace Water Pavilion I jumped into the stream and looked for it for a long time before I found this little dish.
Zhiyan stood up, sat down again, and said, "It's not early today! Go and talk to the prime minister."
"Yes."
"Also, Murongli should eat more." I didn't expect him to be so light.
"Fang Ye is gone, so he can eat as much as he alone."
"Isn't Princess Mo spending time there every day?"
"Yes, I got it!" Mu Yan withdrew.
Xiang Xutai
"The king asked me to bring you this plate." Mu Yan handed over the plate.
"Mu Yan is free right now!" Murong Li took the plate.
"nothing."
"How about sitting down and playing a game of chess?"
"Okay!" Mu Yan sat down opposite Murongli.
"It's been a long time since I touched chess pieces! I'm almost unfamiliar!" When was the last time you played chess? Was it with Gongsun Qian?Can not remember.
"Your Majesty, if you want to play chess in the future, just call your ministers over."
"A true friend is rare, but a close friend is hard to find." Murong Li dropped a pawn.
"Your Majesty did not go to court this morning."
"Why?"
"It must be because I haven't slept all night and I'm tired."
"Why didn't you sleep all night?" He looked at the plate next to him, and he understood it all at once!
"Perhaps I have a knot in my heart." He paused and said, "Last night, he jumped from the third-floor platform, which was more than ten meters high. I was frightened, but I could see his face clearly." foundation."
"Why do you want to dance?" Murong Li looked at him suspiciously.
"Didn't you see that the king is going to dive into the water?" Mu Yan dropped a pawn.
……
…………
"Why is the Prime Minister here!" Zhi Yan stood up to greet him, his feet were so deep that he dared not touch the ground.
"You didn't go to the court today, so I came to check but you were sick!"
He looked at the banquet, and looked at him with surprise on his face: "How can the king be dressed so well? What happened to the king's feet?"
"I wear white and black. I'm still me, and I've become another person." Zhi Yan spread his hands, dressed in plain white gauze, a wide belt, and even the embroidery pattern is white, simple yet unobtrusive Gorgeous and laid back.
"It won't change, you and I understand in my heart, change this clothes quickly." The prime minister looked anxious.
"Prime Minister thinks that Murong Li doesn't understand? He's just playing with the mind of heaven and man, and you and I can figure it out. Since he doesn't expose it, he must have scruples. If I don't have the power of heaven, I'm afraid I have already worried about it." There is a foreign aggression, and the world may also change according to the trend, what can he do to me now?"
"Your Majesty, it's better to be careful, you can wear this clothes however you want, but what's wrong with your feet! Let me see." The prime minister helped him to sit down, it seemed that he couldn't be persuaded to change the clothes!
"It's all right, but yesterday I stepped on a rock and twisted it." Zhiyan put his foot away so that the prime minister could not see it.
"You really don't make people worry, hey!" The prime minister sighed.
"Is the prime minister staying for dinner? It's been a long time since I had a meal alone with the prime minister." Zhiyan asked.
"No, I'm leaving now. I have to go and see Murongli today. He is in my Tianquan right now. I still need to take care of him from time to time. Don't make any trouble in my Tianquan and bring disaster to our country. You are too. What do you want to eat?" Just eat what you want, live as you want, don't let that monster affect you!" The prime minister's face was full of anger.
"Yes, I got it! Prime Minister, don't worry."
…………
Holding a banquet and practicing sword in the garden, the figure walks in the courtyard with the momentum of the sword, the cold light is flickering, only listening to the wind singing, and the graceful arcs point to the nearby bushes, where the sword energy goes, the tree body vibrates slightly , rolled up flying flowers.
Mu Yan just stood by and watched.
Zhiyan put away his sword, put it on the stone table, and sat on the edge to rest.
"Why is your majesty wearing white clothes these days?"
"Isn't it good-looking?" Zhi Yan frowned and looked at him.
"No, I just feel a little strange. Didn't you always wear dark clothes before?"
"Isn't it good to see you wearing white clothes every day? It's dull if you wear too dark."
"The king's feet are well!"
"It's okay! Didn't you see me jumping and dancing?" Even if it's not good, I can't walk in front of you with a limp. You can walk normally with this little injury. Besides, it's okay for you to jump off. Why? I just stepped on a rock?
"What has he been doing these days?" Zhiyan asked him.
"I don't know very well, but it's nothing more than reading books and raising flowers!"
"I saw you playing chess with him that day." Mu Yan didn't mention it even when he came back.
"Yes, I played a round! I still won!"
"Oh, really?"
"It's the king who doesn't care about chess, but just wants to find someone to talk to! He lives alone in such a big Xiangxu Terrace, and he has no relatives and no relatives in Tianquan..." He looked up at the banquet. Say the word "so".
"Are you blaming me?"
"I didn't, it's just that the lord mentioned the old things at the time, and I think he was missing the old man!" Mu Yan thought about it and said, "Maybe he wants to go back to Yaoguang!"
"Go back!" Zhi Yan frowned.
…………
"Why do you think the leaves don't grow?" Murong Li leaned on the railing and looked at the Yuqiong flowers he had planted.
"It's only been a few days since you planted it, and you don't know if it will survive. The flowers grow slowly. When I moved them from the mountains, they were almost grown, and half of them would die if I kept them."
"When do you think my pearl will bloom?" Murong Li took a sip of his wine.
"It will bloom for three years if it is well raised, but it may not be able to bloom if it is not good for seven or eight years." Mo Lan was already slightly drunk.
"Princess Mo is so elegant!" Zhiyan walked into the pavilion with his hands behind his back.
"My lord, the king is coming!" Mo Lan sat up straight.
"Passing by and heard your voice, come in and have a look." Zhiyan cursed in his heart, if I don't come over, I don't know how long you will drink, how can you drink until midnight every day?
"Why is the king wearing white clothes?" Mo Lan looked at him with strange eyes.
"I'll just change my clothes, why does everyone have to ask once when they see it, does it fit?" Zhiyan picked up the glass and poured himself a glass of wine.
"Looks good! My Majesty looks good in anything I wear!" Mo Lan nodded vigorously.
"It's really pretty!" Murong Li came over and sat down.
"Oh, really!" The banquet manager filled him with wine and showed a slight smile.
"As long as the king likes it!" Murong Li said and drank the wine.
"Drink less wine." Zhiyan said and filled him up again.
"It's not good to drink too much alcohol. Princess Mo shouldn't just drink with Lord Murong." He stared at Mo Lan with reproachful eyes.
"Master Murong, it sounds unfamiliar. It's better to be called A Li in the future." Mo Lan pouted and looked at him with reproachful eyes.
"Don't talk back, remember this, and drink less wine in the future." The banquet manager became strict.
"Understood." Mo Lan muttered.
It only takes a while.They both fell down drunk.
Murong Li squinted his eyes to see Zhi Yan, he knew in his heart that the person sitting opposite him was Zhi Yan, not Zhi Ming.
"Your Majesty is awake!" The attendant saw him wake up and brought the toiletries from the side.
"It's the first time I've seen the king sleep so well!" The attendant seemed in a good mood.
"I also feel comfortable all over." He stretched, walked to the edge of the balcony, and looked at the scene in front of him.
"What time is it now?" Why the sun has risen here.
"Noon," said the attendant.
Murong Li was suddenly startled.
"Do you still have the food and wine containers you used last night?"
"It's all cleaned up!" The attendant replied to him.
"How did I get back to my room!" It couldn't have been brought in by the banquet executive!
"His Majesty brought it in!"
"..."
"I'll go back after I've settled down with the king!"
"..."
"The king is going up and down for lunch, and it still has to be brought up."
"No need now, you go out first."
Murong Li stood on the balcony in a daze, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the Tianquan King City in front of him...
Waking up from a dream is another emptiness
☆、Chapter 9 Beginning with Liuli
The boat sailed for half a day, and the surrounding scenery gradually widened, and the towering mountains on both sides turned into endless plains.When the sun sets, the sunset glow dyes the sky and the river red, and in the gray red light, we can already see the sand castle standing in the plain.
When the boat docks slowly, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery on the shore. A row of planks stretches into the river, with a wide stone avenue in the middle, rows of houses on both sides, white walls, green tiles, and red wooden windows.
Zhiming disembarked, followed by twelve bodyguards dressed as merchants, and the rest stayed on board.
The Liuli Kingdom envoy had been waiting on the shore for a long time, when two officials on horseback saw Zhiming get off the boat, they jumped off their horses and went forward to greet him, followed by a group of soldiers.
"Your Majesty welcomes the King of Tianquan, and welcomes the King to the Liuli Kingdom." The three officials bent down and bowed. "Below is Yuantai, the guardian of Shacheng City. This is the child, Yuan Chuan."
"I'm Zhiming, please take care of me." Zhiming bowed to return the salute.
The city guard pointed to the two ships full of soldiers on board: "Please also ask the guards to disembark so that they can arrange dinner and rest for them."
"Don't bother the city guard, they will return right away." Zhi Ming said, Moyingguan still has a lot of troublesome things that have not been dealt with.
"Your Majesty, let's go back with a boat. Let's leave a boat on the river for a while. If the king needs it, it will be convenient for you to order. We are too many people, so we don't bother you to get off the boat and trouble the city guard. We will eat and live on the boat. " Zhuo Yan said behind him.
"Is this good?" Zhi Ming looked at the city guard, waiting for his reply. After the incident of Moyingjiang, he did not dare to take it lightly this time. He hoped that people with ulterior motives would not dare to act rashly when they saw the ship full of elite soldiers. is.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's hard to come to Shacheng once, if you want to enter the city, please let me know at any time, and the lower officials will send someone to arrange it." Yuan Tai also understood Zhiming's meaning.
The servants brought horses and two carriages, and loaded the boxes on the carts.
"Master Zhiming, please get on the carriage." The city guard made a gesture of invitation.
Zhiming got into the car, Dong'er handed him the wooden box, jumped on it together with Xiaopang, and the rest of the merchants followed the city guard and walked slowly towards the city guard's mansion.
The dinner party is the most tiring event, you can't just do whatever you want, you have to flatter, fortunately there are not so many cumbersome etiquettes in the court.
After the dinner, Zhiming sat in the courtyard, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and he looked at the scenery outside by the moonlight, the vermilion corridor and the blue glazed tiles. Unlike Tianquan, there are no tall buildings here, and they are all one-storey pavilions. The garden is full of flowers and plants, and everything is quiet and peaceful.
In the far sky, a bright star is twinkling, flickering on and off, I don't know what star it is.
I wonder if you look up at the same starry sky as I do.
"Your Majesty, rest early!" Xiaopang stood behind him, watching him in a daze for a long time, and saw some sadness.
Zhi Ming didn't speak, got up and walked into the room.
Hearing a faint voice of Xiao Qu, Zhi Ming got up and went to the window, leaning on the window lattice to look around.
It turned out that this was Tianquan, he was in his own bedroom, and the sound of Xiao came from Xiangxu Terrace.
Zhi Ming walked into Xiang Xu Terrace, and saw Murong Li with his back turned to him, wearing a red dress, standing among clusters of pure white Yuqiong flowers, playing the flute with his hands, as beautiful as a picture scroll.
"A Li!" Zhi Ming called softly.
Murong Li turned around, smiling like a flower.
Just because turning around this time became a glimpse in Zhiming's mind, and every time he thinks about it, his heart breaks.
"Why is the king here!"
"A Li smiled, Ah Li looks so pretty when he smiles."
He wanted to reach out to touch his face, but he couldn't reach it. Zhi Ming came to his senses and looked around for Murongli's figure, but there was only boundless darkness...
"A Li, A Li..." Zhi Ming called out loudly, his whole body was covered in sweat, and his hands trembled slightly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Xiaopang called him from the bedside.
In and out of the dream are dreams that cannot be woken up
Is it too heavy to give up easily
Dreaming in the cold night, if you catch a glimpse
…………
In the early morning of Yuri, the sky was just getting brighter.Hear the chirping of birds in the trees.
Zhi Ming got up and opened the window to let the wind into the room.
There is a quiet wind with the fragrance of green grass, as if you are in a vast grassland, which makes you yearn for.
The accompanying attendants had already woken up, and they were all waiting for the summons in their respective rooms. On the other hand, because they were afraid of disturbing Zhiming's rest, Xiaopang took care of Zhiming to wash up, and went to the front hall for dinner with Zhiming.
"Your Majesty, do you want to leave for Liuli Palace today, or stay in Shacheng for a while?" The city guard asked directly.
"Your Majesty, let's go tomorrow! It's hard to come here, and I have already agreed with Yuan Chuan to see their pottery coming out of the kiln." Dong'er begged behind him.
The city guard hurriedly answered: "There is indeed a batch of pottery coming out of the kiln today. If you are not in a hurry, you can go and have a look."
When did Dong'er play with Yuan Chuan, Zhiming thought about it, anyway, they just came out for a walk, not in a hurry to hurry, and not in a hurry to return, so they agreed.
In the afternoon, Yuan Tai led Zhi Ming and his party into the kiln construction site. Many workers were busy picking soil, water, and mud, and shuttled back and forth.
Along the way, Yuan Tai would introduce them one by one. A businessman is a businessman. How could they let go of such a good publicity opportunity.
Walking to the entrance of a kiln, a small supervisor officer saw Yuan Tai coming and ran over to ask for instructions. Everything was ready, and the kiln could be opened as soon as the auspicious time came.
"It's a bit messy inside, so King Zhiming should be outside. The next official ordered someone to move it out and watch it outside."
It is not allowed to enter the kiln at will, which will damage Feng Shui.
Yuan Tai ordered people to open the door of the cave, and brought a few people into the cave. After a while, the workers came out with the porcelain, and laid them out one by one on the shelves in the kiln shed to dry.
Zhiming picked up a wine glass, the pure white body was delicate and smooth, he looked at the soil next to him, it was amazing that such a vessel could be made out of such soil, it used to be seen everywhere in the palace , don't take it seriously, and will be moved by this ordinary cup now.
"These are not finished products, but need to be polished, glazed, fired, painted and many other processes." Yuan Tai said: "This batch is all daily necessities. This kiln is relatively successful, and not a few of them are damaged. , these have already been booked by merchants!"
"It's the first time I saw pottery fired like this. It's really interesting." Zhi Ming played with the small porcelain dish in his hand.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I found something very interesting, let's go, let's go, I'll take you to play with it." Dong'er ran over, hands full of clay paste.
"They're making billets. The lord might go and play for a while and make a few small objects as souvenirs."
Zhiming walked into the workshop and saw Dong'er was already sitting there making something in the shape of a big bowl or basin, and Yuan Chuan was beside him helping him.
"Your Majesty, look at the fun! Come and make one." Dong'er said
Zhi Ming sat in the empty seat next to him, Xiao Pang helped him pull the sleeves and straighten the skirt of the clothes, Zhi Ming reached out and grabbed the mud ball in the bucket and threw it in the center of the wheel disc, a worker came to guide him.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do!" Dong'er asked.
what to do?Zhi Ming was stunned for a while.
"Make two wine glasses." Zhi Ming said
"You need less porcelain clay to make wine glasses." The worker said as he pulled out a little of the porcelain clay he had put on it. "Hold the edge with your hands and squeeze it into the shape you want to make."
Zhi Ming pinched and squeezed the childlike heart, and it came at once, but it was always difficult to pinch, and the strength was slightly different, and it was flattened all of a sudden: "It's really interesting, Ah Li must also like to play, you can take it back when you go back." Zhi Ming blurted out.
He made two cups, a small flagon, a small saucer, and a small basin successively. He forgot the time when he played with it. Looking at the small objects in front of him, he smiled contentedly. This was the first time in a long time that he let He let down his guard.
"The lord, take a rest first! Don't be tired. I will put these in the next time the kiln is opened for firing. You can come and pick it up when the king returns to the country." Yuantai and others have been standing beside him for a long time. up.
"Alright!" Zhi Ming stood up, holding up his muddy hands.

☆、Chapter 10 Soul Returns to Hometown
At the end of March, light rain.
The morning is covered with fog, and the air is moist and moist when you take a breath, surging with the spirit of spring. The light rainy weather in spring always makes people feel a desolate tiredness. If it is in Tianquan, this kind of weather is suitable for laziness Lying lazily on the couch, resting with eyes closed.
Three carriages, a few horses, just such simple luggage, there is no war in Liuli Kingdom, so there are not many escorts, a group of about twenty people.
Xiaopang and Donger also got into the car with Zhiming, Zhuo Yan and Zhuo Fan were sitting in front driving the carriage, the car was shaking, Donger had already leaned on Xiaopang's shoulder and squinted his eyes.
I don't know how long he wandered around, Zhi Ming also closed his eyes.
…………
Baa...baa...
Dong'er suddenly opened his eyes, what's the sound?
"What time is it?" Zhi Ming also woke up.
"Your Majesty, it's past noon." Zhuo Yan stopped the carriage: "Your Majesty, come out and have a look, it's so beautiful here."
Dong'er turned around, opened the curtain of the carriage window, knelt on the cushion and looked out: "Wow..., it's a fairyland on earth."
Zhuo Yan opened the car door, and Dong'er jumped out.
Zhi Ming jumped out of the car and stood there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.
There are a few long white clouds floating in the clear sky, clean as washing. Under the blue sky, there is an endless grassland. There are small white wild flowers blooming on the grassland. Butterflies are dancing among the flowers, and white sheep are scattered in groups. .
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Dong'er hugged a sheep and waved at him.
This picture is too beautiful to be disturbed.
"Your Majesty, let's not leave, how about spending the night here today?" Dong'er was holding a sheep, and he refused to let it go!
Yuan Tai came over and said to them: "Let's take a rest here first, use some dry food, there will be a nomadic tribe passing by ahead, can we rest there?"
"It's all up to your lord's arrangement." Zhi Ming replied to him.
Even a steady gentleman like Zhuo Yan Zhuofan would roll on the grass, and Dong'er was nowhere to be seen after chasing the flock of sheep!
Zhi Ming also went forward and lay down in a bush. The green grass just covered the top of his head. A few butterflies flew by in front of his eyes. The sunlight was a bit dazzling. He simply closed his eyes, and the fragrance of green grass and flowers poured into his body from his nostrils. At this moment, The soul blooms leisurely.
Ziyu, we are back.
Ziyu, this is your hometown.
All opinions are a matter of destiny.
It's not that I met you, I never had the opportunity to lie on the green grass in my life, close my eyes, and enjoy the tranquility of this moment.
The heart has been cultivated by this peaceful atmosphere, the impetuousness has been calmed down, and the heart is only immersed in the gradually forgotten memories.
Because meeting you gave me the opportunity to escape from the blazing battlefield and the blood-stained country. I should be glad that you have been in my life.
When you come back triumphantly, this king wants to go out for a walk, why don't you go to Ziyu's hometown.
The words you said are still ringing in my ears, and the happy smile that overflowed from your eyes at that time is still in my eyes. In such a short period of time, the yin and yang are separated.I should regret, regret letting you go from my life.
In the past, being together every day only felt normal, and it was only when encountering death that it became profound.
…………
When the sun was setting, they saw the houses of the nomads, the walls were cut from stone blocks, and the roofs were reed huts.
Yuan Tai went to lobby the patriarch, let them rest in the clan for one night, gave them some gold and silver, and asked them to prepare some dinner.
People in the prairie are very hospitable, and because of the large number of them, they moved the table to the open space outside the house, and built a bonfire in the middle of the open space.
"These are the Baina people. They live by herding sheep and herding horses. When the grass here is finished, they will move there. When the grass over there is almost eaten, they will move back here again, just like this back and forth. We call them nomads." Yuan Tai, who was sitting next to Zhi Ming, introduced him.
"This kind of life is good, simple." Zhi Ming raised his glass and toasted Yuan Tai.
At first, a few villagers sang and sang, and after a while they stood up and sang and danced around the fire. Soldiers from Shacheng also joined the team. I don't know what they are singing, but what they convey is full of happiness.
Everyone in the seats clapped their hands in rhythm with them.
Zhi Ming picked up a glass of wine and poured it on the ground.
Ziyu, this is your hometown.
Ziyu, this is your people.
The scenes of meeting, getting to know each other and getting along with Ziyu in an instant are beating frequently in Zhiming's mind and invading his heart...
The ethnic group helped them build a few cloth sheds beside the stone house, which they specially prepared for the passers-by, because the stone house was full of their daily necessities and there was no extra space.
Zhi Ming couldn't sleep, he was lying on the grass outside the cloth shed, beside the brocade box he regarded as his life, the stars were shining brightly tonight, reflecting the shadow of the moon.
Zhi Ming looked up at the flickering stars, like fireflies flying on the cold lake of heaven.
Humans are but insignificant beings in the universe.
The wind blows, and the night is as cool as water again.
…………
Baa...baa...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, come out quickly, we are going to herd the sheep!" Dong'er called out from outside the shed.
Herding sheep?Are you not on your way today?
Zhi Ming came out of the shed, and saw Dong'er holding a white fluffy lamb with one hand, and a seven or eight-year-old child with the other. The child's face was black and glowing red. , dragging the ground in a colorful cloth.
Bunches of morning light shot from behind them, a bright and indisputable picture.
"Let's go!" Zhi Ming said.
How could such a simple request have the heart to refuse.
"Let's go!" Dong'er ran forward happily, with the lamb and the child running behind him.
Yuan Tai walked to Zhi Ming's side, and handed him a small stick with a rope tied to one end: "This is for driving sheep."
"Has your lord herded sheep before?" Zhi Ming took the stick.
"I let it go before, my father also herded sheep for a living, and later found clay near Shacheng.
