Huaigui

Chapter 72 The Nocturne

With all the wind and smoke clean, Feishuang struggled to get out of Helan Mingyue's arms, and flapped half of his wings to pick up the tassels on the spear.

He whispered "Don't make trouble", and pushed Feishuang back.His slender fingers were all stained red with blood. He stroked the four characters engraved on the spear, and his heart was shaken.

Li Ciyuan's gun is called "One Man Lone Army".

He hadn't asked before, and he didn't care.

Helan Mingyue sat alone with the gun for a long time, until someone came to tell him that the army had been reorganized and ready to go at any time. The not-so-brand-new clothes made it even more embarrassing.

"What's the situation now?" He asked Duan Liu in a hoarse voice, holding Feishuang who was whining endlessly.

Duan Liu's eyes were also red: "Of the people who went with the general, eight survived, but they were seriously injured. The female generals in Baicheng are treating them...Second leader, you killed Hua Mu, and the Longyou he brought There are 200 people in the army who surrendered to us, and there is one lieutenant general who leads the army... we will continue to pursue."

He Lan Mingyue walked forward with a spear in hand: "Then let them chase, and I'll kill one... If ten come, I'll kill them all!"

Li Ciyuan is gone, everyone avoids Helan Mingyue, not unwilling to comfort him, to Helan, Li Ciyuan's devotion to him is no different from that of his father and brother, and to others, Li Ciyuan is even more so. The pillar of the team.

The whole sky fell, but no one had time to mourn.

Duan Liu saw that he was about to lose his thoughts while speaking, he hesitated to speak, said something in a low voice, then turned and left.He Lan Mingyue was still in a state of stress and couldn't extricate herself, as if she was deaf and aphasic and didn't give any instructions, she stumbled and led the horse, hanging Li Ciyuan's spear on the side and was about to get up.

His left arm suddenly twitched violently because of his reckless movement, and someone said from above: "If you don't bandage your arm, it will be hopeless."

Helan Mingyue raised his head in a daze, Gao Jing leaned on the saddle, leaned over and held him with one hand: "Can you find someone to apply the medicine first? We are already very close to Cangzhou Xueguan, so don't panic."

Helan Mingyue was silent.

"Apply the medicine to you first, okay?" Gao Jingfang said again in a soft voice.

This time I spoke slowly to ensure that he could listen. After Gao Jing was silent for a long while, he finally saw He Lan Mingyue nodded in a daze, and immediately winked at Aman.She took out a few vials and stepped forward, without saying a word or hastily disturbing He Lan, she carefully raised her arm and gave him the medicine.

First bandaged the split arrow wound, and then Amang treated many small wounds on his arms and neck: "That's enough, there is nothing too serious on the body, and I will take a closer look after I settle down... The conditions are simple, only It can."

Helan Mingyue opened her mouth, and Amang hurriedly said, "You don't need to talk, I should have done these things for you. There is a long way to go, you must take good care of yourself!"

His eyes moved to Gao Jing's face, and after meeting his gaze, Gao Jing didn't know what else to do, and tentatively reached out to him again: "Do you want to be with me?"

Helan Mingyue held him, those usually cold hands were actually warm.

After resting for a while, it slowly moved to the northeast.

The chasing soldiers were faster than them. He Lan Mingyue didn't feel tired at first, but the wound became numb after a short period of pain, and then she was unspeakably tired.Someone was chasing him, and he wanted to run behind while riding the horse with one hand, but this time Tang Feiyi refused to say anything, and worked together with Duan Liu to restrain him.

Fortunately, the Longyou Army, which had lost half of its elite, could no longer afford to wear it down, and the ancient Huangsha Road would be able to escape immediately.

The majestic majestic pass was gradually seen on the line of heaven and earth, but before it arrived, a large group of people arrived.

The tiredness dissipated immediately, and He Lanmingyue looked forward, in disbelief: "What's going on?"

Is it possible that just out of Longtan and into the tiger's den?

Gao Jing frowned: "The Longyou Army still has a backup?"

He Lan Mingyue shook her head: "I don't know if it's an enemy or a friend." But it's always a risk to go forward by yourself.With a wave of his hand, the order to stop the march was transmitted to the rear layer by layer.After waiting for a long time, they finally saw the people approaching them clearly.

The black armor formed the momentum of black clouds overwhelming the city, and a banner was slowly raised at the front:

White patterns on a black background, printed with turtles and snakes intersecting - the appearance of Xuanwu.

The leader put away his weapon first from a long distance away, made a gesture, and immediately behind him, two well-equipped cavalry rushed out to attack the chaotic battle like strong wind and lightning.

Helan Mingyue was terrified, just as she was about to rein in her horse, she saw that the Xuanjia man Tang Dao was slashing at the Longyou army.

Xuanjia seems to have some kind of signal inside Beining, which can be recognized at a glance.At the same time, the enemy was taken aback, and the voice of the surviving lieutenant changed his tone as he fought hard: "It's Beiting, the Beiting army! Are you crazy?! Crossed the border without authorization and attacked your colleagues... You——"

During the fight, the remaining Xuanjia came one after another. The leader took off his helmet, got off his horse and knelt down on one knee, with a long sword in his hand, facing Gao Jing: "Your servant Cangzhou Sima, Beiting Xuanwuying Commander Ding Zuo, it's too late for help!"

Gao Jing remained silent, and he said again: "Your Majesty, please accompany me to Cangzhou!"

another one?

But they are indeed "killing each other" with the Longyou Army endlessly.

He Lanmingyue nodded slightly, and Gao Jing said in a deep voice: "Xueguan is still tens of miles away from here, don't you know that crossing the border without authorization and bringing soldiers with you will be a death penalty?"

Ding Zuolang replied: "Received the battle report this morning, and found that the incident occurred not far from the junction of Beiting and Longyou. At first, I thought that Rouran would take the opportunity to go south, so he led his troops to station at Xueguan to wait and see until two hours ago. The spies reported that Ziwei City said that the abolished emperor's uprising was originally in the northwest area, and I dare not take it lightly, and crossing the border during a special period, presumably His Majesty will not punish the crime."

Gao Jing said coldly: "It seems that you want to catch a leak, arrest me and go back to claim credit for Gao Hong?"

"Don't dare." Ding Zuo said, "I'm here to take His Majesty to Pingcheng."

Gao Jing was stunned, He Lanmingyue frowned and said, "What Pingcheng?"

Ding Zuo glanced at him, and saw that he and Gao Jing rode together in confusion but pressed all of them: "Reporting to my lord, I received a warrant from Princess Pingcheng a month ago. If there is a trace of the deposed emperor in Beiting, I will respond and send it to Pingcheng." .As for the one in Ziwei City who didn't give the order directly to the minister, the minister obeyed the princess' order."

Gao Lejun?

Helan Mingyue thought in a daze, is this still the arrogant and domineering Princess Pingcheng in his memory who was at odds with Gao Jing?Didn't she feel ashamed and indignant at the New Year's Eve banquet that year?

"Oh..." Gao Jing finally spoke slowly, "I remember this matter, I still asked Hua Mu to summon it."

Ding Zuo was stunned: "But isn't Your Majesty being captured by General Hua—"

Gao Jing laughed suddenly, but his eyes were still cold, "He's dead."

The head was still hanging on the flagpole, but Ding Zuo didn't seem to be surprised by this, he raised his hand and saluted: "Yes, I have brought the princess's handwritten letter with me, Your Majesty wants to see it?"

The killing sound gradually subsided, Duan Liu and a Xuanjia came forward, he and He Lan Mingyue leaned side by side and whispered: "After this group of people came, the remnants that Longyou chased after have already been captured."

He Lan Mingyue's eyes flickered: "Do you trust him once?"

Gao Jing clenched his hands: "I believe him once."

Ding Zuo didn't hear these words, so he prostrated himself and said: "The Longyou Army still has pursuers, please enter Xueguan with your Majesty!"

"Okay." Gao Jing said, "I'll send someone to hold you all the way, and tie you up and take you into Xueguan. If anyone in the pass acts recklessly, I will kill you immediately to sacrifice the flag, how about it?"

Ding Zuo took off his armor, stretched out his arms and said, "Your Majesty's men will do nothing." He turned his head and shouted, "Did you hear me, tie me up quickly."

There was an uproar in Xuanjia, Ding Zuo said it again before someone hesitantly stepped forward and tied him on the mount.

After this action, enter Xueguan again.

There were few residential buildings in the fortress-like city, and the well-trained soldiers on both sides saw that the commander was tied behind his back and escorted into the city, and they didn't feel agitated at all. Ding Zuo was not released until he entered the commander's camp in Xueguan.

He took out two letters and knelt in front of Gao Jing again: "This one is written by Princess Pingcheng in handwriting, written a month ago, and the other two are the expedited six hundred miles received seven days ago. Your Majesty, please have a look."

Gao Jing took a look and immediately understood everything:

"Empress Xu wants you to come pick me up, saying that Princess Pingcheng is just a cover."

Ding Zuo said: "Exactly, this minister is an old friend of Empress Xu."

Known as the first city of Cangzhou, Xueguan is located in the northwest of Bingzhou, and it is also the fortress of Beiting going south.In a place of bitter cold, the population is sparsely populated, and all the soldiers are stationed all year round, relying on the Great Wall to fight against Rouran.

A warm charcoal fire was lit in the camp, Ding Zuo arranged for them and then called military Chinese medicine practitioners to treat the wounded.Gao Jing's legs and feet were inconvenient, and after he noticed it, he stopped in front of Gao Jing, and waited outside the tent to discuss the military report with a few deputies, so that Gao Jing would arrive as soon as he called.

Amang poured a basin of hot water and put it beside Gao Jing, and couldn't help but restore the old address: "Your Majesty, my servant will help you wash up."

"Sister, go out." Gao Jingwen said, looking at Helan Mingyue, "I have something to talk to Mingyue."

Aman hesitated to speak, and brought another handkerchief, and then he left.

No one spoke in the tent for a long time. Gao Jing watched He Lanmingyue wiping the back of the spear, his throat moved slightly, and his mood finally reached the verge of collapse after fleeing: "It's all my fault."

He Lan Mingyue stopped moving, but didn't turn around: "Why did you say that?"

"I thought...you would help me only for your father's sake. If you are in danger, you don't have to risk your life. However, General Zhenwei and the former Western Army have suffered heavy losses, and I am the only one who suffers casualties..."

He Lan Mingyue interrupted him softly: "It has nothing to do with you."

Gao Jing was at a loss for words, and he turned his back and said, "Fourth Uncle has such a temperament. He can't understand you, and he didn't take this path because he wanted to help you reset. You talked about your father, even if you want to be in the bank Zhou Dong has been hiding in Tibet all his life, he and I will try to find a way to catch Mei Gong and find out the truth."

"..."

"But even so, if you will not rehabilitate my father, I will kill you to comfort his spirit in heaven when I return to Luoyang."

Helan Mingyue was extremely calm when he said this, he didn't need to look back to guess that Gao Jing's expression would not be too good-looking at the moment.But he did think so for a moment, and Gao Jing was shocked to say it all.

He remembered how Gao Jing promised, and he was willing to let Gao Jing make atonement.Not only for He Lanmingyue, but also for the dead Longxi royal family and the Western Army whose reputation has fallen to the bottom - for them, Gao Jing is just a pawn forced to stand in the current situation, and what he did has already been done. set.

Gao Jing was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Do you hate Hua Mu?"

Helan Mingyue didn't speak, Gao Jing said again: "His family has not only Gao Hong but also my people. Although there is only one person, it is enough to act in a dark night... As long as you say a word, Lin Shang will immediately send a letter." , I want him to exterminate the clan tonight."

Certain memories surged up uncontrollably, and He Lan Mingyue's eyelids twitched violently: "What?"

Gao Jing thought of the same thing, and hastily argued: "He is not the king of Longxi, he deserves more than his death."

"When I chopped off his head, I had already avenged my fourth uncle!" He Lanmingyue threw the spear to the ground suddenly, the cold light flashed, almost hurting his own feet, and he walked quickly to Gao Jing, "Use innocent people Venting anger? Well, you are no different from your father, I was wrong and thought you could still be saved!"

"I can't help it." He looked up at He Lan, "I just think that you won't blame yourself!"

Helan Mingyue froze in place.

Gao Jing's eyes were red, and his voice was shaking with overflowing tears: "You have been fighting so hard these days, and you are covered with injuries. Every time I see you leave, I am very worried. I will listen to their message today that General Zhenwei may go. Well, the first reaction is what about you? Will you be impulsive, how will you deal with it, will you fight them to the death? "

"..."

"Do you know how regretful I am! Countless times I want to say that it's okay if I don't, I'm afraid you won't believe what I said, I promised you. If my legs and feet are good, I will go to the front with you, but it doesn't matter whether I want to or not. Can you blame me for all this, as long as you are more comfortable, I will be ordered to carry it..."

He Lan Mingyue was annoyed seeing him, and said sharply, "Don't cry!"

Gao Jing covered his eyes: "I can't control it. When I think of...the thought of so many corpses, blood everywhere, and dreaming of running away every night, I can't see you in my dream...I'm really scared——"

He said to He Lan, I am afraid.

In the end, it was full of crying and collapsed sobbing, and could not form complete sentences. He Lan Mingyue stopped talking when he heard him take a deep breath, and held He Lan's skirt with her plain fingers.

"You told me to hate him, I want to do something for you... Mingyue, can you tell me?"

hate it?he asked himself too.

The sadness in my heart was like a flood bursting a bank, and the reason I had maintained until now completely collapsed at this moment.

He seemed to have hated it, and as the saying goes, revenge is extremely refreshing, but the moment of piercing Hua Mu's throat with his sword was very short-lived, and after the end, he felt that it was meaningless.

hatred?Do you torture yourself?

Helan Mingyue suddenly lost her strength, her legs became weak and she half knelt down.He had a splitting headache, and all the scars on his body were moaning, lamenting, and overwhelming sorrow lashing his mind. The bonfire and the security of the camp were gone in his vision, and only the words engraved on the gun remained, Li Ci. Yuan's last warning to him...

Shouts of killing, warning words, clashes of swords and horses neighing.Feishuang broke his wings, and many people were gone.

Father, Xu Xin, fourth uncle...

But all the people who were nice to him didn't teach him how to hate.

He hugged his head, arched his back, his eyes were hot, and he let the tears flow down to dizzy a large cloud of dust: "Stop talking. Don't talk, I... I don't know, I don't know anything. I should Hate him? Should I hate you?"

With a gentle movement, Gao Jing hugged him by the shoulders and hugged him, and stroked the back of He Lanmingyue's neck with his palm, and said in a low voice: "I told Lin Shang to kill him all over the house, you just need to hate me, okay? "

"No," He Lan Mingyue shook her head, "Hua Mu is dead, it's over."

After a while, Gao Jing responded, "Okay."

After getting this word, a big rock fell, and Helan Mingyue hugged Gao Jing silently, buried her face in the place where his heart was, and listened to his heartbeat quietly, and didn't let go until the tears stopped.

Even though the flames hadn't gone far away, covered in blood, no one realized that this was the first time they had hugged each other for a long time.

After the mood finally stabilized, He Lan didn't want to show any more helplessness in front of Gao Jing, so she discussed with Tang Feiyi on the pretext of having something to do and walked away.As soon as he got up and left, Gao Jing's eyes, who had always been gentle, froze instantly: "Lin Shang."

The guard at the side said: "Your Majesty ordered."

"Tell Lu Yi the news that Hua Mu took in the deposed emperor without authorization." Gao Jing thought for a moment, "He knows what to do."

Lin Shang was puzzled: "Just now...Master He Lan won't let you touch his family."

"He has always been kind-hearted, but I am the one who will take revenge. What's more, I don't need to do anything about this matter. I will pass the news to Lu Yi, and after Lu Yi repays it, with Gao Hong's intolerant temper, I will definitely not let my relatives go. His reputation was ruined and his family was hurt...what does it have to do with me?"

As the night fell, Lin Shang looked at the frosty young man in front of him: "Yes, this subordinate understands."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The last big chapter of this volume.I said before that He Lan doesn't hate, he is relatively stupid when he has no love, and he is more "baby" after being treated kindly by others (Sprite, Xu Xin, Li Ciyuan, etc.), so, although revenge must be revenged, he I will not implicate the innocent (Gao Jing will do some things), of course he will become the first minister of Daning in the future (funny.jpg
