Half a month later, news came from Hemoyuan, which shocked the government and the public.

The Fu family rebelled and colluded with bandits to occupy Hemoyuan. The emperor ordered the third prince to lead his troops to fight against the rebels and take back Hemoyuan. Yun Qing was the inspector and severely punished the Fu family on behalf of the emperor.

The moment she received the imperial edict, Yun Qing felt cold all over her body.

A heart fell heavily, and his thoughts suddenly became clear and clear.

It turned out that the emperor had already murdered the Fu family.

With the weight of military power, suspicion gradually arises, like a sword hanging by a pillow, how can one be at ease.

Only by eradicating it can we avoid future troubles.

The Battle of Hemoyuan was originally a long-planned conspiracy.

His marriage with the Fu family might have become a fear in the eyes of the emperor.

Use his hand to get rid of the Fu family, and when the Fu family falls, will it be his turn next?

After thinking through all this, he suddenly felt sad, both for his orchid branch and for himself.

Fate is the home of the ruthless emperor.

Yun Qing ordered to block the news, he didn't dare to let Fu Lanzhi know all this.

The Qiushui Pavilion is quiet and peaceful, as if it is a paradise that has nothing to do with the world.

On the eve of his departure, he still couldn't help but want to take a look at Fu Lanzhi.

Walking through the large patches of yellow, white and red chrysanthemums blooming in front of the corridor, the fragrance lingered in the dark night, and walked to the eaves. Looking at the gentle figure reflected through the window paper, he couldn't help but blurted out: "Orchid branches..."

The people who were reading in the room were stunned for a moment, and there was no movement for a while.

He stood quietly outside the door, quietly watching his figure, quietly...

As if looking at him like this was enough to live a lifetime.

After a while, Fu Lanzhi finally got up and opened the door.

"It's so late, why don't you go back to rest?" He walked out and closed the door gently.

"I can't sleep, I want to see you." Yun Qing looked at him intently.

Fu Lanzhi stopped talking, and walked towards the stone table in the yard sideways.

"Lan Zhi, talk to me." After the two sat down, Yun Qing couldn't help but said.

"Master Yun, speak carefully, misfortune comes from your mouth." Fu Lanzhi looked up at the moon.

"If you can't speak your heart in front of you, what's the point of living?"

"Fu Mou is not worthy of Master Yun's attention."

"I value you because you are you. Only you, Fu Lanzhi, are worthy of my attention."

Fu Lanzhi sighed again.

"I... will leave the capital tomorrow. His Majesty sent me to inspect the salt merchants in the south. It will take some days before I can come back."

"Well, be careful on the road."

"Lan Zhi, when this battle is over, how about we retreat to the mountains? I'll take you to a place where no one can find us."

"Master Yun is willing to give up this bright future?" Fu Lanzhi turned his gaze from the moon to him.

"After so many years, I'm tired of it." Yun Qing said, and suddenly laughed lowly.

After struggling for so long, I finally realized that all I want in my life is a bosom friend.

Grow old together and grow old together.

"Why?"

"Prosperity, fame and wealth, sensuality and beauty, if you see too much, you will get tired of it."

In the days to come, he only wanted to be with Lan Zhi.

Appreciate paintings and write poems, play chess and make tea.

All happy.

"Oh." Fu Lanzhi responded lightly, without thinking about it.

"Are you willing to accompany me to retreat?" Yun Qing asked eagerly.

"Just the two of us?"

"Just the two of us!"

"I don't want to." Fu Lanzhi continued to look up at the moon.

"why?!"

"Qioner likes you, as her husband, how can you abandon her and ignore her."

Yun Qing choked, and couldn't help but raise her voice and shouted: "I am not married to her at all! Since she is your sister, how can I ignore her, I will send someone to take good care of her, Fu Lanzhi, you must Am I willing to be mad at you?"

"I don't have it." Fu Lanzhi retorted softly, and couldn't help but blushed.

"Then you said that you are willing to go back to the mountains with me!" A certain person's petty temper came up and entangled him endlessly.

"I..." Fu Lanzhi looked a little embarrassed, deliberately avoided Yun Qingzhuo's gaze, and then said in a low voice: "If there is such a day, I will accompany you no matter what you do."

"Really?" Yun Qingxin was overjoyed, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips quietly.

"En." Fu Lanzhi thought for a long time, and then nodded solemnly, his lowered eyes were sparkling with starlight, "If... if there is such a day..."

"There will definitely be." Yun Qing was happy in her heart, she raised her hand and grabbed Fu Lanzhi's hand, and said firmly and seriously again: "There will definitely be such a day, Lanzhi, wait for me."

Fu Lanzhi didn't break his hand away again, and let him hold on, but just stared at him quietly with a smile in his eyes.

For a long time, the night became darker and darker, and most of the moon was hidden in the clouds.

Fu Lanzhi smiled lightly, just like a flower blooming in the pan, and then held his hand back, with bright eyes, "Okay."

Ok, I will wait for you.

(four)

In the Hemoyuan, the flames of war are raging, the corpses are piled up, and the bones are piled up into thousands of miles of rivers and rivers.

Looking along the line of sight, panic and remnants of smoke hung in the western sky, and lonely ducks screamed.

The two armies confront each other, one side is arrogant, and the other side is exhausted.

Win or lose, see through at a glance.

On the barren river and desert plain, there was only one city standing there alone, the city walls were already mottled and fallen off, and the crooked banner was blown back and forth with the cold wind outside the Great Wall, stained with dust.

Yun Qing was dressed in black with dark patterns, and sat silently on the horseback. Behind him were a hundred thousand soldiers and horses ready to go, staring at the old city.

At the foot of the city are [-] soldiers brought by the Fu family.

Of the [-] soldiers, [-] have been lost in the confrontation with the bandits, and now only [-] soldiers and horses are left.

But now, the [-] soldiers looked at the mighty [-] soldiers and horses in front of them with haggard faces and exhausted bodies.

They didn't even know what happened, and they were charged with treason.

The third prince stepped out of the soft sedan chair, wrapped in a thick fur coat, only showing a half-sarcastic face, and said to the fifty thousand soldiers: "The Fu family has evil intentions, secretly recruiting troops and buying horses in order to rebel, Your Majesty is furious Let me and Lord Yun come here to fight against the rebellion of the Fu family. You are the people of Dacheng, but now you are being used by traitors. Your Majesty has something to say, if you are willing to lay down your weapons immediately, you are still the people of Dacheng. If not, we will discuss the crime together with the Fu family."

A few words shocked the sky.

The fifty thousand soldiers stared wide-eyed in astonishment, and looked at the Third Prince in disbelief.

After a while, several soldiers stood up and said sternly: "I have been following General Fu on the battlefield for many years. The general is devoted to the country and is absolutely loyal to the country. Is there any misunderstanding in this? "

"Misunderstanding? I don't know what the misunderstanding is. I only know that the evidence of the Fu family's rebellion is solid. If you hand over Fu Shan and Fu Lanzhi now, I can deal with you lightly."

"General Fu..." A soldier blushed and said bitterly, "The general was plotted and attacked by bandits yesterday, and he is... not alive anymore."

"Hey, it seems that the Fu family has turned against the bandits outside the Great Wall, tsk tsk tsk, maybe even God can't stand it and solved this disaster for His Majesty. In this way, there is only General Fu in the city? He please come out."

"We will never let you hurt Mr. Fu!" The generals looked at each other and said in unison.

The third prince raised his eyebrows, "Oh? If that's the case, then you all go down to accompany Fu Shan first."

After finishing speaking, the feather arrow flew out behind him, and before the few people had time to speak, they couldn't speak anymore.

Then, the heavy city gate slowly opened, and Fu Lanzhi, wearing a silver robe and armor, appeared in the eyes of everyone riding a horse.

When he rode over, the hundred thousand troops waited with bated breath.

"Fu Lan...zhi, can you plead guilty?" Yun Qingzong immediately stepped forward, raising his eyes slightly, his expression indifferent and calm.

The person on the opposite horse stood still, holding a Liuyun long|spear in his hand, and the heavy armor on his head covered his eyebrows, eyes and face. Hearing Yun Qing's words, he slowly raised the long|long|spear in his hand, sharp Point the gun at Yun Qing.

"I heard that the Fu family's unique eight-ring lance is very powerful. Today, I want to see if it is really as unstoppable as the rumors." The third prince said, and glanced at Yun Qing, "Master Yun, have you ever seen it?" Have you surpassed the Fu family's marksmanship?"

"Never."

"That's just right, let's see together today how powerful this Fu family's marksmanship is."

Yun Qing didn't speak.

He pursed his lips and looked at the person opposite, knowing that the person on the other side was Fu Lanqiong, knowing that she was implicated by him in this killing, but he... was extremely grateful in his heart.

Fortunately, the person who appeared here at this moment was Fu Lanqiong instead of Fu Lanzhi.

Luckily, Lan Zhi escaped unharmed.

Perhaps, he also wanted Fu Lanqiong to die.

Between him and Fu Lanzhi, there was Fu Lanqiong who was an eyesore, so she was a thorn in his side.

But in the end, he couldn't just watch her die under this long-calculated conspiracy.

Looking at the figure of Fu Lanqiong waving a spear, he suddenly thought of Fu Lanzhi in his mind.

Fu Lanzhi, who is as transparent and elegant as jade, and Fu Lanzhi, who is extremely talented in martial arts.

The shy Fu Lanzhi who was often teased by himself but tried to keep calm.

He suddenly... wanted to go back.

Going back to the place where Fu Lanzhi lived, looking at his gentle and calm face, I felt a sense of belonging in my heart.

Riding his horse and turning around, he galloped without saying a word.

He can't control the things here, the people here, and he doesn't want to control them. Now, he just wants to go back, take his orchid branches, and travel far away together.

Therefore, Yun Qing did not see that when he turned around, Fu Lanqiong, who was besieged by everyone and was physically exhausted, and Fu Lanqiong, who was pierced by several spears.

Blood spurted out, instantly soaking the sallow ground beneath him.

She fell off the horse, kicked up dust and flew far away, but she never said a word.

It's just that his eyes followed Yun Qing who was getting farther and farther away until he became distracted.

"This eight-ringed spear is nothing more than that." The third prince spat on her disdainfully.

"The rebellion of the Fu family has been eradicated, and the teacher will return to the court immediately." The third prince ordered happily.

"My lord, this corpse...how should I deal with it?"

"Pile up all the corpses and set them on fire, so as not to cause another plague in the future, which is bad luck." The third prince looked at the corpses on the ground with disgust, turned and left.

He rushed back to the capital non-stop all the way, just to meet the person who misses him day and night earlier.

The fast horse passed through the bustling street, causing the people to cry out in dissatisfaction, but he couldn't care about these anymore, he just wanted to hurry up, and see Fu Lanzhi sooner.

When he returned to Yunfu, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he ran directly to Qiushui Pavilion.

"Lan Zhi!" He shouted loudly, with deep thoughts in his eyes.

But the moment he came to the door, he suddenly flinched again.

Fu Lanqiong, covered in blood, flashed before his eyes, and countless faces of despair and collapse on the Hemoyuan battlefield flashed past.

His steps suddenly became heavy like stones.

Every step is difficult.

Yun Xiang, who has been up and down in the officialdom for several years, has a deep mind and is in a dilemma for the first time.

How could he... tell him these things?

His orchid branch... how could he stand it?

But before he could think too much, the courtyard door of Qiushui Pavilion was suddenly opened from the inside.

He couldn't help looking up, but the next moment his pupils constricted and his face changed suddenly, as if struck by lightning.

At that moment, the moment when the door slowly opened, what appeared in front of Yun Qing was Fu Lanqiong with tears streaming down his face.

With two big knives strung around her neck... Fu Lanqiong.

Suddenly, the world is spinning.

When the two hidden guards saw Yun Qing, they took back the knife on her neck.

Without restraint, Fu Lanqiong quickly ran towards Yun Qing, looked at Yun Qing who seemed to have lost his soul, grabbed his arm and cried loudly, "Yun Qing, I had no chance to leave the capital that day, the emperor secretly sent someone to knock me out Put me under house arrest. On the day you left the capital, the emperor threatened my brother with my life and forced him to go to Hemoyuan. The emperor wanted to kill the Fu family. Yun Qing, I...uh..."

Before she could finish her words, the sharp sword pierced her throat.

Brought out bright red blood, stopped the unfinished words.

Then, he collapsed to the ground, unwilling to close his eyes until he died.

The dark guard withdrew his sword, and said to Yun Qing who was motionless as if his soul had been separated from his body: "Master Yun, Your Majesty has a lot of trust in Master Yun, and Master Yun is a rare talent for the great succession. In view of Lord Yun's bright future, I also hope that Lord Yun will not disappoint His Majesty's painstaking efforts, so I bid farewell."

After all, leave without regret.

In a trance, that day on the river desert plain, the cold wind kept whimpering, sand and rocks were flying on the ground, the figure in silver robe and armor was tall and straight, like a luxuriant bamboo, holding a plain gun in his hand, looking over with quiet eyes, alone The enemy outnumbered thousands of troops.

Covered in blood, with clear eyes, that is...

His orchid branch.

Poor martial arts... Fu Lanzhi.

We agreed to go back to the mountains together, we agreed to stay with him forever...

How could he, how dare he...

How about leaving without saying a word?

He stumbled into the Qiushui Pavilion, trampled the yellow, white and red chrysanthemums all over the place, tripped over the branches and fell to the ground, he grabbed the ground with both hands and crawled forward, a sobbing sound came from his throat, like crying, like laughing.

Like a lunatic who couldn't find a home, he went mad and became a demon in the empty Qiushui Pavilion.

Viburnum is all over the branches, and people are still smiling.

Through the wind and cloud for half a lifetime, through singing and dancing,

After all, like the vanity dissipated, the eyebrows and eyes were sad, and the heart was sad,

And the one waiting,

Not seen in life, hard to find in the world.

postscript

According to historical records, in the 41st year of Dacheng, at the beginning of winter, the battle of Hemo was completed, and he returned lightly. When he was just getting started, his color suddenly changed, and he didn't wait for everyone to think about it. He was hindered, so he called the imperial physician. The doctor arrived, and he was diagnosed for half a day. He said that his mind was declining, and he entered epilepsy.When he was young, he called Hemo Ye, but the emperor couldn't bear it, so he summoned Hemo Plain and never returned.
