Tread thousands of dust

It didn't snow on the Pan Xiao Terrace, but this year the imperial city was snowed like a curtain, covering a roof.

Unbearable, Shu Qiyun kicked open the door, if that bastard Xun Can hadn't been injured, he would have thrown this trash out to freeze in the snow!

"Get out! Are you worthy of being a descendant of the Xun family?" Shu Qiyun glared at him. Xun Can was lying unconscious on the bed. Fortunately, Shu Qiyun came to see him twice a day, otherwise he would definitely feel that he was dead now.

Xun Can lazily turned over and said in a hoarse voice, "What about the descendants of the Xun family...will they risk their lives to fight and kill the enemy? Am I not qualified?"

Shu Qiyun was angry but helpless, Xun Can's health was too poor, the wound was difficult to heal, the emperor even told him not to go out again in the name of being punished, but no one thought that he didn't want to be treated, so angry that Shu Qiyun came to the door three times a day, as if since After Lian Yuan's death, Xun Can's food, clothing and daily life were really left alone.

What's more, it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, which makes Shu Qiyun even more worried.

Shu Qiyun sat helplessly by the bed and said, "How long will you be decadent?"

Xun Can stared blankly at the bed curtain, and he rubbed the shape of the wound through the quilt, but unfortunately, even after two or three months, the wound that pierced the abdomen had not healed at all, and was even bleeding. .

Xun Can said indifferently: "Anyway, there is no need to go to court, the emperor may lie down at home."

Shu Qiyun said angrily: "It's not like you haven't suffered more serious injuries than this! Could it be because it's Mo Fengyi! Has he asked about you for so long since he got out of the imperial city? Why are you so depressed because of this!"

Xun Can didn't want to talk.

Shu Qiyun sighed: "I know...I know you are angry, and I also think that Mo Fengyi has gone too far this time, but it is a good thing that he is gone now, at least the imperial city is much more peaceful. But Ah Can ...you can't go on like this, it will be harder for your wounds to heal..."

"Don't mention him...hasn't anything happened to King Wei Bin recently?" Xun Can said wearily, "Didn't there be a lot of trouble a while ago?"

Shu Qiyun shook his head helplessly: "I don't know what happened to him, it should be because he couldn't accept the empress's affairs... But I heard something, it was when Mo Fengyi made trouble It came from the imperial city."

Xun Can frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

"...Anyway, it's some nonsense, you don't need to listen." Shu Qiyun said in a deep voice, "I wrote to Pan Xiaotai before asking about Zi Ming...but she might not want to reply to me .”

Xun Can also asked curiously: "I haven't asked you yet, why did you agree with Zi Ming to go with him that night?"

Shu Qiyun shook her head: "That's her brother, can I stop him?"

"But you didn't even stop her, how do you know you can't keep her?" Xun Can said helplessly, "Are you really afraid that you won't be able to keep her, and that Mo Fengyi will always be the most important thing in her heart?"

Shu Qiyun had to admit: "I knew it before when she was going to rob people in the palace no matter what. For Zi Ming, I can't compare with Mo Fengyi."

Xun Can had a headache again, Shu Qiyun didn't bother to talk to him when he saw him like this, and just when he was about to go out, he saw the people coming from outside.

"His Royal Highness! General Yanghe! Southern-style frontier emergency report!"

Shu Qiyun and Xun Can both came alive.

I saw the guard unfold the scroll and read in a deep voice: "The foot of the moon did not move, and troops were sent to capture a city before the twelfth lunar month. , passed away on the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month in the 23rd year of the Yuan Dynasty, and General Lian Shuo has assumed the post of head coach now..."

Neither of them listened to what was said next.

Xun Can still couldn't get out of bed for two days, and when he finally managed to go to the General's Mansion, it was already covered with white cloths.

Shu Qiyun was already waiting for him at the door, and Xun Can was mixed into the memorial hall with him.

Xiang Qianrong and Jiang Mang knelt together in front of a tablet.

Xiang Qianrong obviously looked cold and resolute, and Jiang Mang also had tears on his face, and he was dressed in white filial piety. At this moment, he looked like a pair of brother and sister.

Xun Can also planned to kneel down, but Xiang Qianrong said indifferently: "You can just come, mother will not blame you for not kneeling."

Xun Can then forced himself to stand and said, "...sorry."

"I should be mourning." Xiang Qianrong said coldly, "At first, my mother planned to go out for the last time, and she would return to her hometown after she came back... She didn't go back in the end."

Xun Can said in a low voice: "Li Shu also wrote me a letter saying that General Jiagui will be buried in Mianzhou according to the regulations... She can't be sent back to the imperial city. She was injured and poisoned. It's because she persisted in leading the troops that she became poisoned...the emperor has issued an edict that when the army returns, she will be posthumously named the first-class general protecting the country."

"Do you think these are important to her? Does my mother care about these false names?"

Xun Can said helplessly: "Of course General Jiagui doesn't care, but the world must know that she has been loyal and brave to protect the country all her life, and she deserves this reputation."

Xiang Qianrong asked in a false voice: "Xun Can, you are my mother's favorite offspring, do you think she has any regrets in her life?"

"Yes." Xun Can said, "You."

Xiang Qianrong frowned and said, "What's wrong with me?"

Xun Can said: "You have been deeply influenced by generals and captains since you were a child, and you should be like them in the battlefield. Why do you go to the Ministry of Rites? Are you satisfied with being a servant?"

Xiang Qianrong looked at Yuzhi's tablet, and he said helplessly: "It's not that you don't know about my parents. After that, my father doesn't want me to practice martial arts anymore, let alone enter the military camp."

Of course Xun Can knew this. Ever since Yuzhi announced that he and Xiang Liping would never get in touch with each other, Xiang Liping didn't want Xiang Qianrong to be like his mother. Unfortunately, he was later transferred to the imperial city. Mr. Xiang Qianrong To meet Yu Zhi, although Xiang Liping couldn't control it too much, he just didn't allow Xiang Qianrong to join the military camp as a general.

Xun Can just remained silent for a long time.

With the announcement of the white official, everyone turned around in surprise.

"Xiang Liping from Taiwei's Mansion came to express his condolences."

Xiang Qianrong was also surprised, and Xun Can and Shu Qiyun were even more surprised.

Who doesn't know about Xiang Liping and Yu Zhi's affairs, they would like to miss each other in court on weekdays, why is this Lord Taiwei here now?

"father......"

Xiang Liping was wearing an official uniform as before, but it didn't look like a high-ranking officer's clothing, but rather a fifth- or sixth-rank official title, and the clothes were old, and the materials and patterns were even more outdated.

Xiang Qianrong saw it at a glance.

When Xiang Liping married Yuzhi, he was just a local superintendent. Although the Xiang family had a big business, he had just been sent out. At that time, Yuzhi wanted to resign without saying anything, but the emperor refused.

Later... Later, Xiang Liping walked back to the imperial city step by step, but Yu Zhi never wanted to see him again, and even gave up her dress after a divorce letter.

Xiang Liping stood outside the door and didn't come in. He seemed to be muttering something, the snow and wind covered his expression and voice, and the people inside didn't know anything. His sister had just announced that she died of illness, and now she is his former wife again. , Maybe this captain can't stand it.

"At that time, farewell to the person you love, you know where the mountains and rivers are far away..."

Jiang Mang looked at the people in the snow outside and sneered: "He didn't know to come when Ganniang was alive, what's the use of coming now?"

Xiang Qianrong turned his head and said nothing.

Shu Qiyun said indifferently: "You don't know the cause and effect, how dare you comment on it?"

Jiang Mang even disdainfully said: "His Royal Highness really understands the truth, do you know what Godmother is thinking? How do you men know that a woman's love is as deep as the sea?"

Shu Qiyun frowned slightly, Jiang Mang seemed to have never spoken to him like this before.

Xun Can clutched his wound and broke out in a cold sweat. After a while, he couldn't stand up anymore and could only be forced to sit down. He asked softly, "Princess, has General Jiagui written to you in the past few months?"

Jiang Mang shook his head: "Did General Yang He forget? I am from the southern style. She fought against my mother clan. How could I correspond with her?"

Seeing her reluctance and reluctance, Xun Can got angry and said sullenly: "If you are really displeased with this war, why do you have to keep your filial piety for our general in Beiyi?"

"Because she died." Jiang Mang said in a cold voice, "Why should I have trouble with a dead person? She still died at the hands of us southerners. Do you think I should be happy or sad?"

Xiang Qianrong said indifferently: "If you don't want to stay, get out, my mother doesn't want to see this look."

Jiang Mang sneered and said, "Do you think I want to come? Mr. Xiang, don't forget my identity..."

"You yourself have forgotten!" Xiang Qianrong suddenly said angrily, "You are the princess of Beiyi! You are no longer a Southerner! What qualifications do you have to accuse my mother of going to war?"

Jiang Mang stopped talking with tears in his eyes.

Xun Can didn't want to see them arguing, so he signaled him and Shu Qiyun to go out first.

When they crossed Xiang Liping, Xun Can felt that he was unattractive and had already stood like a statue in the snow.

Shu Qiyun sighed while walking: "General Jiagui really raised her for so many years for nothing."

Xun Can knew who he was talking about, so he just said: "We are not a family in the first place, and it is useless to be together for a long time."

Shu Qiyun turned his head to look at him and said: "That's true. Even if General Jiagui died for his country, the battle ahead is still tense. Li Shu is quite successful in his experience, and Father doesn't plan to send another general there."

Xun Can responded, "Even if you want to send someone now, there is no suitable candidate in the court for a while."

"Actually, Shu Renlu had suggested to his father before that he wanted to go... but he was rejected by his father."

Xun Can frowned: "Does he want to leave the imperial city?"

"I think he is making progress by retreating. The queen mother is gone. Maybe the father will want to make it up to him." Shu Qiyun said lightly, "But the father seems to have only visited the third brother...and never asked about it. he."

Xun Can shook his head helplessly: "I don't know what the emperor is thinking, it was obviously King Wei Bin who was present at the time... Could it be that the emperor was more prepared for him because of the accidental injury of King Wei Bin?"

Shu Qiyun didn't know either, he just said: "I will pay more attention to these, you should recuperate well first, and don't come out in the near future."

But Xun Can didn't want to go back to Xun Mansion at all, he had had enough of staying there.

Too bad he has nowhere else to go.

As a result, the winter in the imperial city was extraordinarily cold this year. Xun Can wandered around the imperial city for a long time while holding onto his wounds, but in the end he had no choice but to go back.

The people felt that this year was unknown, and they talked about the blizzard as God's heartbreak. Surprisingly, Xiang Liping, the Taiwei in front of the palace, asked for an order to send the body of General Jiagui back to the imperial city for burial. The emperor repeatedly rejected the denunciation, but he repeatedly asked for orders. In the end, Rong and Di Nian couldn't bear the pain of farewell, so they had to make an exception and allow General Jiagui to be sent back to the imperial city.

When Mo Fengyi got the news, he was flipping through the books. Gongsun Songli's eyes were red, and he handed the letter to him tremblingly.

Mo Fengyi never thought that Yu Zhi's last pen would be for him.

Mo Fengyi took it apart and looked at it. The person who wrote it seemed to be in a hurry, but he still wrote down in his busy schedule:

It is easy to leave the heart, but it is difficult to return to the heart. May there be no mistakes, and all mistakes will pass.

Yuzhi didn't want him to leave the imperial city. She knew what happened before. Although Xiang Yixin died of illness, but Mo Fengyi left in a hurry, she should have become suspicious.

Mo Fengyi looked at the letter and sighed softly: "I don't know how to be a man in history, just because there is no name for a woman."

Gongsun Songli wiped away his tears and asked, "I heard that General Jiagui is about to be sent back to the imperial city, and it was the emperor who was personally begged by the Taiwei."

Mo Fengyi was surprised: "Taiwei? Didn't he break with General Jiagui?"

"I don't know either." Gongsun Songli shook his head in confusion.

Hou Ke rushed in and ran to Mo Fengyi, and gave him another envelope.

"Look, master!"

Mo Fengyi's heart skipped a beat when he saw the words on his face, he came from the imperial city.

As a result, he opened it, and it was his master Jiao Yanhong.

The above was nothing more than questioning why he left the imperial city suddenly, and then gave him a part of "Marrow Cutting Strategy" by the way.

Mo Fengyi actually didn't understand why he wanted to give himself "Strategy of Marrow Cutting". Obviously, when he wanted to see it before, the old man was very reluctant in every possible way. He seemed to think it was an ominous thing, but Mo Fengyi accepted it without thinking too much. up.

Imperial City, early spring.

Shu Renlu looked at the strategy in his hands, and after a while he raised his head to look at the kneeling person in front of him.

"Are you serious?"

Xiao Qian said affirmatively: "Xun Can's current state is definitely impossible to lead troops, so don't worry, my lord."

"Now that the war with Nanshi is not over, the court is employing people." Shu Renlu said indifferently, "Those people are all on the prince's side, why are you..."

"The lord's kindness is as heavy as a mountain in the end, unlike that prince who doesn't know people."

Shu Renlu then laughed and said: "So you want to help this king and seek to seize the world?"

"Exactly."

"You are plotting treason and treason!" Shu Renlu sternly said, "You are on the verge of death!"

"My lord, if you succeed at this time, it will be a masterpiece of the ages!" Xiao Qian said firmly, "The general will know the grievances of the lord, why do you have to be inferior to others?"

Shu Renlu's heart sank, and he asked, "How many people do you have now?"

Xiao Qianxi said: "The Forbidden Army is in our hands now, and there is also the Yongfu Army...even the Yingteng Army, as long as Xun Can can't lead troops, the Yingteng Army is useless even if they are heavenly soldiers and generals!"

Shu Renlu said indifferently: "Then... Let Xun Can never lead troops, and the crown prince will be taken away together."

Xiao Qian said with a big smile on his face: "My lord, don't worry! You can just enter the palace!"

Shu Qiyun tore up the book in his hand and roared angrily, "How dare Shu Renlu!"

Xiang Qianrong also looked nervous: "His Royal Highness, Shu Renlu has sent troops to surround the imperial palace, and there is no way for us to get out."

"You have to enter the palace, father and concubine are still in the palace!" Shu Qiyun clenched his fingers and slammed the table angrily.

Xiang Qianrong said helplessly: "But now we have no chance of winning, after all, Xun Can..."

Shu Qiyun's eyes turned cold: "Do I have to rely on Xun Can to fight?"

"But he..."

Shu Qiyun interrupted him: "You go to the palace now, the battalion is still in our hands, I will go to Xun Can now, and bring the military orders of the Yingteng Army."

Xiang Qianrong had no other choice for a while, he could only say: "Your Highness, be careful, now Shu Renlu may have disregarded everything."

Shu Qiyun returned to the room, picked up a long sword hanging on the wall, nodded to Xiang Qianrong, and walked out the door quickly.

As soon as Shu Qiyun approached the Xun Mansion, he heard the sound of fighting inside, and silently sighed in his heart that he brought someone with him.

He drew out his sword and broke in. Xun Can, who was covered in blood, was still fighting with a group of people in military uniform.

There was already a large group of people lying on the ground, and there were only a dozen or so who fought with Xun Can.

Fortunately, with the dozens of dead soldiers he brought, the situation here barely stabilized.

Xun Can finally put down his sword, vomited a mouthful of blood, covered his stomach, and fell to the ground.

Shu Qiyun hastily stepped forward to check on his injuries, obviously the wounds left by Mo Fengyi before should be healed, but now the old wounds add to the heartache, I'm afraid it will be troublesome.

Xun Can panted heavily and closed his eyes, and a group of servants and guards also surrounded him.

Shu Qiyun squatted down and said in a deep voice: "A-Can, A-Can! Don't sleep!"

Xun Can slowly raised his eyelids, he looked at Shu Qi and promised for a long time before saying: "The soldier talisman...is in the drawer of the left hand..."

Shu Qiyun's eyes moved.

Xun Can coughed heavily and coughed up some blood, Shu Qiyun hurriedly helped him up.

"Your Highness... quickly enter the palace... I will be fine..."

Shu Qiyun swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, rushed into the room and found the soldier talisman, and stood beside Xun Can when she came out.

"I will definitely come back when I save my father, mother and concubine."

Xun Can sat on the ground soaked in rain, snow and blood, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said: "Take these people away... At least it will help His Highness..."

Shu Qiyun just took two steps and suddenly stopped. When he walked, the pursuers behind him would definitely attack Xun Can when they saw Xun Can?

If he doesn't come back in time, Xun Can will die, right?

Suddenly some inappropriate words popped into Shu Qiyun's mind.

"General Yanghe today has walked exactly the same path as his father."

"Xun Can is the future Xun Weichu. If you want to rule the world in the future, you have to be like your father and avoid future troubles forever."

Shu Qiyun stood panting, and suddenly felt very powerless.

He walked a few steps forward with difficulty, and suddenly turned around with red eyes, ran to Xun Can's side in a few steps, pulled his arm up and put it on his body.

Shu Qiyun didn't intend to let others help him, and said to himself: "Let's go, I'll send you to a safe place first."

Xun Can's body was falling all the time, but his head was still clear, and he asked with a confused look: "Why do you have to..."

"Shut up, talking is a waste of energy."

It's a pity that there is no place for them to live in peace in the city, so Shu Qiyun can only drag Xun Can out of the city.

It was safe until the city gate, but from a distance, Shu Qiyun saw a large number of soldiers and guards.

The whole city is locked down.

Shu Renlu is really crazy.

Just as Shu Qiyun was about to break out, Xun Can held him back and panted, "His Royal Highness... let's go back to the palace... We can't go out... Your Majesty also needs help... ..”

Shu Qiyun smiled: "Don't think too much, the Yingteng army is stationed outside the city, I need you to issue an order to let them rescue you."

Xun Can lowered his head and smiled, and when he raised his head again, he said, "Is that Xiao Qian at the gate of the city?"

The guard behind him went out and came in again, saying: "Exactly."

Seeing that Xun Can was about to fall to the ground, Shu Qiyun hurriedly pulled him back, Xun Can's face had already turned pale, and his whole body felt cold and he didn't know the temperature.

"Your Highness, please hand me over... I will deal with Xiao Qian, you guys find other vacancies and leave the city."

Shu Qiyun immediately vetoed it: "Are you afraid that you won't die fast enough? Just rush out, we are all dead fighters with high martial arts skills, we should have a chance of winning."

Speaking of which, Shu Qiyun didn't intend to talk nonsense with him, so he just put him on the ground and took people out.

How could Xun Can be idle, grasping the sword tremblingly and leaning on the wall to get up.
