Gu Qingci

The weather is getting cooler day by day, I don't know what night it is.A few days ago, Liu Yuehua often brought notes to bother her, but she seldom came after being reprimanded.

After being lingering on the sick bed for too long, my head is a little dizzy, and my cough is intermittent.After coughing up blood again, Liu Yueying stuffed her handkerchief into the crevice of the bed expressionlessly, and Pianqiu came.

"Help me up." The room was so stuffy that it made people panic, she wanted to breathe on the deck chair outside.

It snowed a little yesterday, and Liu Yueying's body that was afraid of the cold couldn't bear it, so she immediately put on a jacket and fox fur, and took Mrs. Tang to warm her hands.Just sitting down and breathing a sigh of relief, a voice came from far and near: "Sister Huang—the canal has been built!"

Not even bothering to wrinkle her brows, Liu Yuehua entered the courtyard with a rare joy on her face.She strode over to the recliner, squatted down obediently, but couldn't hide her excitement.

"The Grand Canal has been completed, and our Daxing waterway finally runs through the north and the south! When the water rises in the next spring, thousands of ships can set off from Jincheng and sail in all directions, from Qiangcheng in the north to Xiaoxiang in the south. There are close exchanges, and the rice in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River is all over the country——Sister Huang, this is our prosperous Daxing, and it was you who built it!"

Liu Yuehua fully thought that the emperor would be very happy when he heard about it, so he immediately came to tell her about it as soon as the paper was reported.If Miss Huang heard the news, she would have found a ray of light in the dusk.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Liu Yueying's sickly face became more haggard, her lips were tightly pressed together.She struggled to get up from the chair without help.

Steady on her feet, for a long time, Liu Yueying could only choke out one syllable: "Heh—-", there seemed to be frost between her brows and eyes.

"The Grand Canal has been completely completed?" Her thin lips parted slightly, her tone indifferent: "The Daxing Canal, from the north to the south bank, and the first and second lines, were all drafted by her. It took many years of hard work, but she has never seen it completed. This day...and all of this, is my reason." My reason.

If he hadn't been so strong at the beginning, and had had the patience to explain to her, calling Feng San to confront her instead of kicking her out of the palace, would all this have been different?

The most bitter thing in the world is that there is no medicine for regret.Another line of tears came out of the eyes: "In this world, life is everywhere, it should be like Feihong stepping on slush..." Shaking his head, closing his eyes, all the strength in his body seemed to be pulled out at this moment, approaching oil All the lights dry up.

Liu Yuehua hurriedly went to support the frail body, and the next moment——

"Sister Huang! Why are your hands so cold again?!" Liu Yuehua was startled, and lightly touched Liu Yueying's forehead without regard to the rules. It was still cold there, and her lips were extremely white.

"Pianqiu, you serve the imperial sister every day, why don't you notice this kind of thing?" Liu Yuehua said bitterly, "I'm afraid that the cold illness that the imperial sister has recovered may be relapsed, so hurry up and take the prescription prescribed by Miracle Doctor Mu to make medicine." !"

But what's the use, without a blind medicine primer, in this gradually cold weather, the spring breeze is difficult to brighten the moonlight.

This is November of the second year of Yuanqing.

==

In the torrent, he couldn't get away from himself, and when Emperor Lingkong passed away in the first month of the next year, everything written in history would be back on track, exactly.

Is it true?It seems... something very important is missing.Let's turn back the clock a little bit.

It was the lotus moon in the first year of Yuanqing, and the Daxing soldiers had just penetrated into the southern canyon.There, steep cliffs can be seen everywhere. The highest cliffs are like knives, and occasionally small pieces of gravel will roll down. The land is also muddy due to continuous rain, and the march is not very smooth.

It's an interesting thing to say, I have never experienced the asceticism of the army in my life, even as a military adviser, it is inevitable that I will be exposed to the wind and sun all day long, and it is difficult to bathe; although the environment is harsh, it is not unbearable for me.Because, I finally escaped from that golden cage that was so painful that I couldn’t breathe—as long as I think of the many regrets in this life, the osmanthus flowers will fall all over the back mountain of Rongcheng.

This is my way of saying goodbye to the past and breaking away.

Feeling the free wind, the unrestrained rain, and the damp smell in the air, it smells good—I seem to understand why Master is willing to go back to the mountains and forests.

On the marching road, I like the unknown wild flowers on both sides of the dirt road after the rain, the faint smell of decay from the dead wood, and the mushrooms and fungus growing on it.Going forward, the water vapor decreases, the dense forest gradually disappears, and there are bare cliffs in the distance.

The army finally stationed at Qipingtan, the only intact small plain in the contiguous valley, only a few tens of miles away from the remnants of the Nanman tribe.

God is sorry to see that the least book I read is the art of war. After all, I never thought of coming to the barracks where I slept in the open air and watched the scenes of swords facing each other and blood and flesh flying.

After staying in the barracks for several days and studying the art of war, and by the way, listening to the powerful people discussing the method of cracking the Qijue Formation, I still feel that I don't know enough about this remnant.The wizard Sha Jin's brother-in-law took away at that time was very famous, and besides Sha Yu, he was the most powerful.He was full of wounding evil formations on the cliffs. If he used the tactics of a sea of ​​people, he would definitely win this battle, but the consumption and damage were too much, and it was really unnecessary for this small remnant.

After deliberating for several days, I decided to take a group of troops deep into the hinterland for on-the-spot investigation.I have always paid attention to practical work. Only by seeing and touching things with my own eyes can people feel at ease. This is true for building canals, and it is also the same for leading troops to fight wars.

The bottom of these canyons is intricate, and there are often four or five roads at a fork, like a giant maze.Because of the high concealment, those small paths must be filled with formations. It is safest to take the main road at this time.

I greeted General Nangong and took a company to explore the way.The cliffs on both sides meander together in front of and behind, and the horseshoes step out of the flying dust.Suddenly, I felt that a certain valley looked familiar.

It must be an illusion, right?Many places here look exactly the same, and the distinction is not very clear.

After going around the valley, I found that its geographical location is very delicate. Looking down from the top of many steep cliffs, this place is a blind spot, and there are some hidden caves that can place tens of thousands of troops.

Still thinking about forming an army, the lieutenant beside him suddenly said, "Look, my lord, there is a stone tablet here."

Half of the stele has been broken, and the upper half is covered in yellow sand, only an outline can be seen.Soldiers pulled it out from the sand and wiped off the dust on it, and the words "Shangfanggu" came into view.

Upper Valley?

My pupils shrank suddenly and my back was covered in cold sweat. I couldn't help but tighten the reins of the horse. The two front hooves of the horse I strangled the horse into the air, and a neigh echoed in the empty valley.

It's no wonder that my heart has always been uneasy, and I always feel that I have forgotten something - my eyes are full of her Liu Yueying's volleying prosperity, and I have forgotten the ending of "myself".I still have an impression of where the Upper Valley is.That's not me, but the place where her unlucky imperial husband was buried.

"My lord?" The lieutenant general saw that my expression was not good, I just shook my head, and immediately began to think about the way to break the situation.

Die, no, I don't want to die at all—I just let go of the obsession of the two lives, and want to live for myself.In this life, I have never been her imperial husband from the beginning to the end. If I leave a mark in history in the future, I will just be a deposed right prime minister, not the harem of Emperor Lingkong.

This is history, history changed by me.Therefore, I can completely change my destiny!

"You guys wait here in line, I'll go explore this valley again." The upper valley is surrounded by many steep cliffs and is impenetrable. Is it really unsolvable?The horse looked carefully in the valley, not letting go of every place.

After running for a long time, I felt the smell of the horse, so I guess I was exhausted.Dismount and move it to a cave to rest for a while.

I unscrewed the camping pot and took a big sip of water. On the days when there was no rain, the sun was shining all day long, and it only took a moment to make people sweat profusely. I have never experienced this before, and my previous life was still too delicate.

Sweat flowed down the hair and hit the face, and the breath from the tip of the nose was full of hot air with sand and dust.Rubbing his eyes, he disliked himself for being so sloppy.

Sitting on the ground in this shady valley, looking at the canine-toothed cliffs and the yellow sand everywhere in the distance, thinking about what is there and what is not, the mind is lost.

A small red dot suddenly appeared in the distance, very small, and then gradually enlarged.I thought it was a mirage, but it seemed to be coming straight for me.

I was a little flustered for a moment, regretting not letting the army follow me, until—the red dot fell in front of me.

"What a coincidence, Li baby, we met here by chance!" Sha Yu's sunny smiling face was close at hand.

I looked at her usual mean face, and I didn't react during the day.It's been a long time since I saw her.

"My sister knows that she is beautiful, so she won't be crazy about the baby, right?" She raised one eyebrow, and said narcissistic words with full red lips.

"... What a coincidence, we can also 'encounter' in the Gobi Desert where no shit is like a bird." I repeated the last two words, and then immediately asked: "Xiao Zhi and Yan Xi are with you?"

She froze for a moment, then nodded.

"How are they doing now?"

"The weaving doll's chronic disease has almost been cured. Yan Xi is still not awake from the serious injury, but with Mu Die here, there is no need to worry about her life."

After listening, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked her: "It's been a long time, why did you come here suddenly?"

"Isn't it because I care about you?" She blinked at me, her flying Danfeng eyes were full of seductive charm, I subconsciously took a step back.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Sha Yu noticed my little trick, and was very dissatisfied: "I told you that Liu Yueying is not a good thing. If you don't believe me, you will suffer a lot..."

"Don't mention her to me!" I panicked when I heard those three words.

"Okay, okay, don't say anything." Sha Yu stopped talking, and the surroundings became quiet in an instant.

In the dark cave, I stood face to face with her without speaking, and there was a strange atmosphere for no reason. The panting of the horses beside me could be heard clearly, and it seemed to be mixed with... the sound of dripping water.

The sound of dripping water!I turned my head abruptly and looked into the cave.

Can't see anything.

"What are you looking for?" Sha Yu curled her lips and walked straight inside.I looked at the pitch blackness and froze in place.

"Not coming yet—!" Her strong voice came from inside, and I subconsciously pulled up and followed.
