Huaigui

The falcon named Feishuang flapped its wings, landed on the window frame, and looked inside.

He Lan Mingyue was not surprised by this result, but he was not able to accept it immediately. Xu Xin's words and the walls of the palace repeatedly appeared in his mind, and his heart was in a mess.

Seeing someone, Feishuang rushed into the house and landed on Li Ciyuan's back.It flapped its wings, brought a gust of wind and blew out the lamp, and the room was suddenly dark, with only a little gloomy skylight leaking in from the window and door, and the air was filled with the smell of old wood and the cold smell of rust.

"Go away." Li Ciyuan shouted, and Feishuang landed next to He Lanmingyue, hooking his hairband with his claws.

Helan Mingyue was caught off guard, only felt that the hair tie broke when it was tightened and then loosened, Feishuang grabbed half of it, and the other half fell on his knees with the scattered black hair.

He gathered his hands together, and heard Li Ciyuan whisper: "When I saw you, I felt like a handsome man. If it were other people, I wouldn't bother to care about these things, but the handsome man is different, even if I die, I can't let go of it." he."

Mingyue was silent, Li Ciyuan asked strangely: "You have grown up to now, has no one else said that you look like him?"

Many people have said, Xu Xin, Gao Qian, and... the emperor.Just thinking about that night, Helan Mingyue paused: "Father left early, and I... experienced some things later, I don't remember his appearance at all."

Li Ciyuan smiled miserably: "Yes, it will be 20 years in a flash. I remember your name is Mingyue, right?"

He Lanmingyue acquiesced, and asked: "Over the years, I have inquired about some things related to my father, and they all affirmed that the Western Army and Southern Chu conspired to rebel against the city. Is it true?"

"how do you know?"

"I... met an old friend of my father's." He Lan Mingyue didn't want to reveal Xu Xin, but only briefly explained the matter, and asked, "Isn't it like this?"

"Ashamed to say, I had some conflicts with the commander-in-chief at Yashan, and he asked me to lead the troops back to Yinzhou earlier. Regarding the details of why they raised their troops and who led them, I am the same as you." I heard it." Li Ciyuan shook his head and asked, "That's all the old man told you?"

"Shouldn't know as much as the general."

Li Ciyuan chuckled lightly: "I am the youngest among the four lieutenants of the commander-in-chief, ranking last. There is nothing wrong with you calling me fourth uncle. These years have been upside down, and the past is over. It would be strange to call me a general again." .”

He Lan Mingyue nodded, and Li Ciyuan asked, "How much have you heard about him?"

The dark room is suitable for reminiscing about the past, Helan Mingyue said dejectedly: "I don't remember anything, this time I return to Yinzhou to see the place where my parents lived before."

"That's right, I hugged you when you were just born, and almost dropped you, and was scolded by the commander."

Helan Mingyue smiled softly upon hearing this.

The two were silent for a moment, Li Ciyuan pursed his lips, and suddenly said: "The commander-in-chief is a hero."

His voice was calm, and there was almost a sense of mysterious awe when he spoke in a low voice. He Lan Mingyue looked at Li Ciyuan without saying a word, and said after a long time: "Fourth Uncle, I... want to hear it."

"Listen to Commander? That's a long story." Li Ciyuan sat up straight, with a solemn look on his handsome face, "I'm from Longcheng. When I was young, my family was poor, and I was bought by someone from the palace to work as a handyman. When I first met Dashuai, he was younger than you are now, but I can never forget his appearance from then on.

"At that time, Longcheng was still in the territory of Daning, and the commander-in-chief was not the prince or the commander of the Western Army. He was talkative and friendly, and I respected him very much. At first, I was the one who accompanied him to practice martial arts. He joined the Western Army. From then on, I fought with the commander-in-chief to go through life and death, and served as his right-hand man—I thought I would spend the rest of my life like this.”

Xu Xin had also talked about that person before, and the more He Lan Mingyue listened, the more he felt that vague shadow gradually materialized in her heart, and it was no longer just a thin name of "Longxi King".

"My personality is troublesome. I am easily impulsive when I go to the battlefield. When I am inexperienced, I always push myself into the fire pit. In the southern and northern wars, the commander rescued me four times. The third time he took a cold arrow for me and almost woke up. Come here." Li Ciyuan said, with a flash of light in his eyes, and he went back to the year in a trance, "I swore at that time, if he can survive this trip, I will treat him like a cow and a horse in the future, this life It's all his!"

Helan Mingyue thought to herself: But how did you get to this point?

His eyes dodged, and Li Ciyuan seemed to feel something, touched Feishuang's feathers and sighed: "Suiye, Rouran, Nanchu... Nanchu was the last time I went out with him. Captured the enemy's general Luo Jingping alive. I think he should be killed on the spot, but the third brother said that it is better to keep the bargaining chip."

He Lan Mingyue asked: "Who is the third brother?"

"Our four lieutenants are called brothers and sisters according to their age, and the third brother is General Pingnan Mei Gong." Li Ciyuan frowned when he mentioned this person, and continued after he calmed down, "The commander didn't listen to me and kept him Down. I was so angry that I broke into the commander's tent at night and asked him to give an explanation. We couldn't settle down, and he got angry at me. The next day, he told me to take people back to Yinzhou first, and there was no need to return to the capital. .”

"Did you just leave like this?"

Li Ciyuan nodded: "I was also young and energetic at that time, so I led a group of people to leave the cliff first. Halfway through the journey, I heard that Luo Jingping died strangely, but I don't know the details. Cool, let's continue marching."

Luo Jingping, Yaguan, Mixin.

He listened to half of the conversation between Gao Jing and the emperor during the Shangyuan Festival, and he understood these things.According to the emperor's intentions, after Luo Jingping's death, the secret letter of Helan Maojia's collusion with Nanchu was found from the body, and immediately after that, everything was like an overturned chessboard, everything was in chaos.

The King of Longxi wanted to return to the capital. As soon as he left, the western army took the lead in besieging the city and rebelling. Both sides fought fiercely. Then the Chinese army went from Luoyang to Yaguan.

He Lanmingyue's complexion was slightly gloomy, and she finished talking to Li Ciyuan about the main points of these matters, and said softly: "There must be ghosts in it."

He thought that Li Ciyuan would be surprised when he heard this, and would even react violently by kicking over the stool, but he gritted his teeth and said viciously: "I knew it! I guessed it...that man has good intentions!"

"Who?"

"Mei Gong!" Li Ciyuan almost crushed the coarse porcelain teacup, "Marching quickly to Xiazhou, suddenly the news came that the general was in prison. I was stupid at the time, I didn't know what was going on, but I also react When I come here, I should go back and settle the princess and... with you, and wait until the commander-in-chief is free to make a long-term plan, but he...he actually managed to ruin everything!"

He Lan Mingyue was taken aback: "He stopped you?"

The situation that day seemed to be engraved in his bones one by one. Li Ciyuan said angrily: "No, it's not that simple. He has a close friend who went back to Yinzhou with me. I went to ask the princess to leave, but he said that Brother Mei was sending a message. Just some misunderstanding."

He Lan asked in surprise, "Is that how my mother believes?"

"My concubine has always believed that Mei Gong is better than me." Li Ciyuan was a little annoyed when he said this, "What's more, Mei Gong's confidant spoke cleverly and coaxed her to feel that nothing big could happen. Under the mediation of that confidant, Mei Gong Gong wrote a letter, saying that just in case, the princess and her family should go to Luoyang as planned."

"result……"

"As soon as I entered the Yumen Pass, someone immediately reported His Majesty's order, saying that the commander-in-chief conspired against him and wanted to detain his family..." Li Ciyuan clenched his fists. What Xia Zhou meant was that he knew that something might happen to him, and he wanted me to come back to protect you! But it was still... too late, the official said that I was not from the Helan family, so I didn't need to be escorted, so I went to Luoyang to ask for help. Marshal pleaded guilty, but still haven't seen him for the last time."

At this point, even Feishuang let out a mournful cry.

Li Ciyuan raised his head with a calm expression: "After arriving in Luoyang, I immediately tried to find a way to enter the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Later, I said that the commander in chief was detained and went to Dali Temple. The guards on the edge of the palace were heavily guarded, and I could not enter for a while. Seven days later, Dali Shuai committed suicide in prison, and Emperor Dog immediately issued an order to punish the Helan clan."

He gritted his teeth, and He Lan Mingyue whispered, "Someone... took me away."

"At that time, I even thought of robbing the execution ground, but I didn't know that the commander-in-chief--" Li Ciyuan whimpered, not like a battle-tested iron-blooded soldier, "I'm useless, I'm sorry for his trust!"

He Lan Mingyue asked: "So you went back to Yinzhou?"

"Shortly after the commander-in-chief committed suicide, the western army was divided into two teams. One of them returned to the imperial court and merged into the central army, and the second scattered in various places. The imperial court issued a wanted order, and the generals above the fifth rank escaped and were captured. Kill them all." Li Ciyuan He said, "Ten years ago I was hiding in Tibet around Luoyang, asking for news about you. I was at the end of my life. I really had no news and had to go back to Yinzhou——except here, I don't know where else to go."

"..."

"There must be something hidden in it. I can't protect myself, so I can only wait." Li Ciyuan said this, as if he had lifted an extremely heavy burden, "Fortunately, I'm waiting for you."

Even though he no longer wanted to fight with the world, after listening to Li Ciyuan's words, he found many doubts in them.He Lan Mingyue didn't rely on carrying hatred to move forward, but he couldn't let it go just like Li Ciyuan.

If there is a grievance, will it be cleared?

Helan Mingyue was suspicious, and thought again: But if I don't do these things, how can I know the truth?

The discouragement when he left Los Angeles seemed to be rekindled by a fire, but his reason was still there. He Lan Mingyue said: "I understand all these, but I still can't rush it for a while."

Li Ciyuan stood up without asking the reason, "The meal should be ready, let's go, after eating, drinking and resting, talk to fourth uncle about what you have experienced in these years."

He Lan Mingyue looked at his back, and for some reason, her eyes suddenly became sour.

He rushed over uncontrollably, hugged Li Ciyuan from behind suddenly, and then wept silently with his forehead on his shoulder.Li Ciyuan was also very surprised by this sudden action, and he reacted for a moment, gently comforted He Lanmingyue with his backhand, and smiled: "Why are you crying?"

"I..." Helan Mingyue's sadness only lasted for a moment, at this moment he felt embarrassed and couldn't say any sensational words about missing his parents, but he still refused to let go, and cried out mournfully, "Fourth Uncle."

He thought he had no relatives in the world, and he met an old general of the Western Army as if he was in a desperate situation.The ins and outs of the past suddenly had traces to follow, He Lanmingyue didn't know what to do, and his chest was almost stretched to the extreme by pain and grievances, as if what he got from now on was not only a place to stay, but also a long-lost family relationship.

When he left Luoyang, he vaguely wanted to go home, but when he arrived in Yinzhou and met Li Ciyuan, he finally came home.

It's a pity that Li Ciyuan is a rough guy, and he couldn't understand his sudden tears after his emotions passed.

So Li Ciyuan kicked him: "It's almost done, you are such an adult, taller than me, what's wrong with crying?"

Embarrassed by his words, He Lan Mingyue quickly let go, and wiped away the tears on her face.Li Ciyuan looked at the slender young man in front of him, reached out and patted his shoulder:

"Your Majesty will be proud of you."

The rice was made by Mrs. Duan Liu, because there were two more meat dishes because of the new customers.

Some acquaintances in the militia held up Saibei's self-brewed spirits. Xie Bi drank this kind of liquor for the first time, and after three or two cups, he fell unconscious. Helan Mingyue was better than him, but he couldn't bear the dizziness Brain swelled lightly.

After drinking for three rounds, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

When the banquet was over, the others should be on duty at night, and those who should rest were resting. In the dining room, only Li Ciyuan and He Lanmingyue were left sitting opposite each other, with a plate of peanuts and a jar of wine in front of them.

The night was as cold as water, and Helan Mingyue poured out all the experiences of the past 20 years while getting drunk.

Prince Yu's Mansion, Yaoguang Pavilion, and Wensi Palace are gradually far away in his description. He skipped a story about himself and Gao Jing, and the rest of the ins and outs of how he entered the palace and how he almost died after being discovered by the emperor. He Lan Mingyue happily said that she was a little confused in the end.

Like a dream, those things have nothing to do with him.

But if you still want to pursue the unjust case of Xijun, it won't really have nothing to do with him.

Besides, can he let go of that person?

Helan Mingyue was in a daze.

Li Ciyuan drank a lot but showed no signs of getting drunk, so he took a swig from the sea bowl, smashed the empty wine jar on the ground and cursed angrily: "The dog emperor is really not a fucking thing! His son is also an asshole !"

"Yeah, you can't say that..." He Lan Mingyue supported her forehead, she was so drunk that she didn't know what she was talking about, and murmured, "It's all right to call His Majesty unkind, it's none of Xiaojing's business. I really hate him ...I hate him for being ruthless, and I also pretend to be obsessed with ghosts—”

He hadn't thought about Gao Jing for a long time, but when he was drunk at this time, it was like pushing open a dusty door, and the fragments of those memories came in strangely, disturbing him again.

Some words have been suppressed for too long, and once there is a crack, it will collapse like a dike of a thousand miles. He Lanmingyue blurted out: "I am obsessed with ghosts, I like him...I shouldn't like him..."

Li Ciyuan was taken aback for a moment: "Well, why, are you still dating a princess?"

Can't hear clearly, He Lan Mingyue said "um" in a strong nasal voice, Li Ciyuan was horrified, and secretly said: It should be said that he is indeed the son of the commander-in-chief, if I can live freely and casually in prison, I can rest assured Oh, it can be seen that his appearance really looks like he has been heartbroken... That's right, how can there be true love in the imperial city?

Thinking of this, Li Ciyuan looked at He Lanmingyue lying on the table holding the wine glass, and said with distress: "Forget it, what's so special about the princess, turn around and fourth uncle will find a good girl for you!"

Helan Mingyue ignored him, and continued inarticulately: "No, no... I know he is not good, he is a little bastard, he uses me, cheats me... and finally kills me, takes the sword... that is Gave me the sword—"

The more he talked, the more sad and angry he became, and he fell asleep in a daze.

He Lan couldn't see the deep look in Li Ciyuan's eyes, but he could only hear Li Ciyuan sighed: "Idiot." He stroked He Lan Mingyue's hair with his big palm and rubbed it twice.

"When you wake up, fourth uncle will lead you home."
