Tread thousands of dust

Chapter 39 Worship

Hua Qianzi's face changed slightly.

"how you said that?"

Yin Nihong smiled even wider: "This is the price he paid for lying to me."

Hua Qianzi frowned slightly: "Girl Nihong, Fengyi didn't really cost you anything, why should you..."

"You're his friend, of course you say that!" Yin Nihong suddenly said angrily, "Do I look like an idiot! Don't you think it's funny when you play me together!"

Hua Qianzi was at a loss for words.

"Feel sorry."

He couldn't argue with that.

Yin Nihong continued: "If he wants to apologize, just kowtow to me three times, then I will know everything and tell him everything He An told me."

Hua Qianzi stopped talking.

"If you don't want to, then I have nothing to say. I only know that the handover will be handed over the day after tomorrow, but these He An have already sent a letter to Wen Yanhuai and the governor, and you must know it. The only thing I can tell you is that The time of the handover will be the date of Mo Fengyi's death." Yin Nihong resumed her smile, but that smile became weaker and colder.

Hua Qianzi had no choice but to say, "Thank you, Nihong girl, for reminding me, I will take my leave."

Yin Nihong stood at the door for a long time and couldn't calm down. After she said so, Hua Qianzi still needs to thank her. She has become that wicked person who is unreasonable and unforgiving, right?

Of course Mo Fengyi will not die, Yin Nihong said it on purpose, her resentment has nothing to vent, why should she kindly remind Mo Fengyi that he is in danger

But, do you want to promise He An?

Mo Fengyi never expected that Yin Nihong would wake him up the next day.

He thought that Yin Nihong would not be willing to talk to him anymore, at least she should ignore him these few days.

So when Yin Nihong appeared in front of his bed, he was really frightened.

"Why are you here! How did you come into my room!"

Mo Fengyi quickly pulled the quilt and staggered to the corner, staring at Yin Nihong in horror with wide-eyed eyes, and thinking about whether he was dreaming yesterday or whether Yin Nihong lost his memory.

Yin Nihong folded her arms and smiled all over her face: "It's almost time, Mr. Mo, the sun is already out."

Mo Fengyi looked at the coldness behind her smiling face, and laughed a few times: "Yin Nihong, even if you hate me, you don't need to ruin your reputation. It's easy to be in a man's room with me this morning. Being misunderstood."

As he spoke, he stepped back a few times until he leaned against the wall, he was still really not sure what Yin Nihong was going to do.

"I was afraid that people would misunderstand you and you didn't intervene." Yin Nihong stared at Mo Fengyi with her beautiful eyebrows, "Mr. Mo, I don't hate you, but I think you reminded me."

I didn't cut in the door?

Have it?

Mo Fengyi's brain failed early in the morning, and he never remembered that he didn't cut in the door.

And what did I remind her of?

Mo Fengyi clutched the quilt and flinched: "Hehe...hehe...is that right...Miss Yin is really...magnanimous..."

"Hey, Mr. Mo really spoiled me, little girl. How could I be magnanimous? Mr. Mo reminded me that you are a traitor and should not be trusted, I will definitely remember it in my heart." Yin Nihong said and went to his bed Take a few steps forward.

Mo Fengyi was so frightened that he grabbed the pillow and hugged it, and quickly stretched out his hand in front of him: "Hey, don't go anymore! Men and women can't kiss each other! Yin Nihong, let's talk if we have something to say! We can use other methods Solve the problem!"

Yin Nihong twitched the corners of her mouth and said with disgust: "Mo Fengyi, I really didn't expect you to be so useless, can you beat me? Are you so afraid that I will eat you?"

Mo Feng is suffering so much that he can't tell, can you understand the feeling of opening your eyes and seeing your enemy?

Not to mention whether Yin Nihong hates him or not, just because he is a woman is enough to scare Mo Fengyi, what's more, she just stood there without saying a word, Mo Fengyi thought she was It's a wronged soul.

Mo Fengyi gritted his teeth and said, "...I don't hit women, why are you here?"

Yin Nihong continued to smile and said, "I came to seek revenge on you. When you were sleeping just now, I slapped you several times. Do you feel it?"

Mo Fengyi squinted his eyes helplessly, let alone Yin Nihong slapped him, even if Yin Nihong touched him, Mo Fengyi could wake up and subdue her immediately, she definitely just entered the door and did not move, otherwise he would not have noticed .

Yin Nihong felt that teasing this person was too boring and had no sense of accomplishment at all. Seeing Mo Fengyi in such a frightened mood, she said, "It's too boring. I'm here to call you. Go downstairs quickly, Ziming and others." It's been half a day."

After speaking, he turned and left without looking back.

Mo Fengyi was still in panic for a long time unable to recover.

Mo Fengyi didn't recover until he went out with Xun Can.

Xun Can asked as he walked, "What's the matter? Have you been in a daze?"

"Why didn't you call me in the morning? Didn't you promise to come and call me yesterday?" Mo Feng started to blame him with his head covering his face angrily.

Xun Can looked puzzled: "I heard from Zi Ming that Yin Nihong had gone, so I didn't go."

"It's not like you don't know that she wants to kill me now!" Mo Fengyi howled complainingly, "Aren't you worried about me? So relieved to let her call me"

Xun Can laughed: "She's not good at martial arts, what can she do to you?"

"Tch." Mo Fengyi rolled his eyes, "You don't even know how scary it is, she just stood in front of the bed and stared at me, motionless, like a...ghost."

As Mo Fengyi spoke, he stretched out his hand to gesture to him. His slender, white fingers fluttered in the air, and Xun Can couldn't help but hold them.

"Okay, isn't it all right? Are you still afraid of her?" Xun Can smiled, thinking that Mo Fengyi was really cute.

Mo Feng pulled out his hand awkwardly: "Hey, this is on the street..." But the tips of his ears turned red unconsciously.

He doesn't have lingering fears now.

Xun Can just shook her hand, and soon let go: "I'm actually curious, why she volunteered to wake you up."

Mo Fengyi frowned: "How do I know?"

He thought about it and felt chills all over his body.

Mo Feng asked strangely: "Xun Can, do I need to go out of the city to go to Baidaokou?"

"Of course, Baidaokou is bordered by Hannai, so it's naturally outside the city." Xun Can replied, "But it's not far away, and it takes about half an hour to get there."

"You still remember so clearly." Mo Feng sighed with a strange smile, "Didn't you only come here once?"

Xun Can nodded: "I only came here once, but I have a good memory."

Mo Fengyi ignored his boasting, and asked again: "That was three years ago, right? You just came back from the battlefield?"

"You even know this? You paid close attention to me at Pan Xiaotai?" Xun Can teased him, squinting at him.

Mo Feng twitched the corners of his mouth, this still needs attention?You, General Xun, a young hero, won a complete victory on the first expedition. Who in the whole Beiyi doesn't know?

However, Mo Fengyi admitted generously: "Yes, I know all about your big and small things these years, and our Wenyu League's eyeliner is all over Beiyi."

Xun Can was overjoyed: "Great, you've been following me for a long time? Why do I feel a little scared?"

"Are you afraid now? It's too late." Mo Fengyi bit his lower lip and approached him, and said softly with a smirk, "Every chance meeting between us is due to my deliberate deliberation."

Listening to his erratic and gentle tone, Xun Can's heart almost fluttered.

Mo Fengyi left him a little before saying, "Are you satisfied now?"

Xun Can moved his Adam's apple: "Are you just talking to coax me?"

"What I said is true." Mo Feng gave him a strange look. Does this person think that he can only talk nicely like him?

Xun Can was immediately filled with joy.

He cleared his throat: "Forgive me, you dare not lie to me." Then he continued, "I made meritorious service in the war, and the emperor granted me a one-month vacation. I came to Tongzhou at that time."

Mo Fengyi nodded: "Then your memory is very good."

Xun Can smiled: "It doesn't count, there is only one road from here to Baidaokou, and you don't need to remember it."

Mo Fengyi asked again: "Then why is it called Baidaokou? Is it because of Baidaocheng?"

Xun Can shook his head: "You just said it the wrong way. Baidaokou is a long-standing name, and Baidaocheng is a special name bestowed by the emperor after his personal expedition. It is a commemoration of that battle. This was originally a small town in the southwest. It was later promoted to Shangcheng, just like Tongzhou was promoted to Zhongzhou."

"Let me just say, there are only eight cities in Beiyi, why is this small southwest corner so powerful." Mo Feng was surprised, "Did Yuan Weifan be the governor when you came three years ago?"

Xun Can said affirmatively: "That's right, after all, he has been the governor for five years, and it was at that time that I heard the local people say that he is a good official."

Mo Fengyi muttered: "Good is good, bad is bad, what is good..."

Xun Can sighed: "Although he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is usually a little corrupt, Tongzhou has been prosperous and peaceful under his rule these years. Last year, the prince introduced a new tax law, and Yuan Weifan also strongly supported it. , it can be seen that he has the heart to benefit the people."

"Okay, I don't believe you have said that?" Mo Fengyi curled his lips, "I can't ask everyone to have a breeze, can I? Besides, I know, he must have the talent to be an official, otherwise he is as important as Tongzhou It is impossible for the emperor to trust him for so many years."

Xun Can nodded: "Well, I heard that he has not married a wife and had children in his fifties in order to govern the government."

Mo Fengyi narrowed his eyes and frowned: "Why are you so gossip? You even inquire about these things?"

Xun Can snorted and ignored him.

Mo Fengyi suddenly thought of something, pulled Xun Can's arm and asked, "Hey, you just said that I pay special attention to you, so don't you treat me special?"

Xun Can smiled and said, "Yes."

"Also, you told me before that you have someone you care about." Mo Fengyi narrowed his eyes and asked menacingly, "Who is it?"

Xun Can grinned: "Who else is there? This arrogant and ignorant person standing in front of me."

Then he imitated Mo Fengyi's tone and asked, "Are you satisfied now?"

Mo Feng nodded reassuringly.

Xun Can glanced at the sky and said, "It's almost noon, let's have something to eat before we go."

When they sat down, Mo Fengyi began to complain: "I was so scared by Yin Nihong in the morning that I didn't eat much."

Xun Can laughed but said nothing.

He swallowed several pieces of sugar cakes before saying: "I didn't expect Baidaocheng to have these. I thought they only ate salty and spicy things."

Xun Can watched him stuffing food into his mouth without a pause, and thought it was funny, so he stretched out his fingers to wipe off a little bit of sugar residue from the corner of his mouth.

Mo Fengyi was taken aback: "What are you doing... in public..."

But the redness of his ears betrayed him, he unconsciously licked the corner of his mouth, drank a glass of water awkwardly, his heart was beating like thunder.

The more Xun Can watched it, the more he liked it. He leaned over and whispered in his ear: "If it weren't for the public, I wouldn't be using my hands."

Mo Fengyi's cheeks flushed instantly, and when Xun Can left, his lips brushed against his ears vaguely.

"You..." Mo Fengyi lowered his head, almost unable to hold the chopsticks.

Xun Can laughed silently for a long time.

He finally cleared his throat and said: "You heard the general said, tomorrow is the time for the handover."

Mo Feng nodded differently and said, "So?"

"So I asked you, what was your plan before, can you tell me now?" Xun Can asked while he was happy now.

The flush on Mo Fengyi's face subsided, he glanced at Xun Can and said, "Can you have any plans, let me tell you now, aren't you afraid that the walls have ears?"

Xun Can looked at him and said nothing.

Mo Fengyi gave a "tsk" and sighed: "You are so annoying, what plan can I have? Isn't it just after Tao Feng takes over, I will find a chance to sneak into their barracks and kill people."

"That's it?" Xun Can asked in surprise.

Mo Fengyi chewed the pastry, nodded expressionlessly, and asked vaguely: "Otherwise? Do you need anything else?"

Xun Can paused for a moment and began to ask in a row: "How is it so simple? How did you sneak into the barracks? How did you kill people under the siege? How did you escape?"

Mo Fengyi replied helplessly: "These are details, I will think about it later, but my general idea is like this. Anyway, now that I know that there are so many soldiers here, it is impossible to implement it."

Xun Can had no choice but to give up, and asked again: "What about now, what do you think now?"

Mo Fengyi lost his expression, and said lightly: "What else can I think, handover tomorrow. Others, since Yin Nihong doesn't say anything, of course I can only take one step at a time."

"Okay, I don't think He An dares to do anything in Tongzhou." Although Xun Can said so, he was still worried, "But didn't Yin Nihong remind you before that they might come after you?"

Since Xun Can was helping Mo Fengyi with the layout, his request was that Mo Fengyi should tell him everything, so he was also aware of these situations, and he also knew about Yin Nihong reminding Mo Fengyi.

"Yeah, but what can I do? Now I can't beat it, I can't stop it, I can only watch theirs." Mo Fengyi poked at the food in front of him depressedly, half a day after eating the candy Didn't take a bite of the meal.

Xun Can looked at him picking up vegetables every now and then, which was very unpleasant, and it took him a long time to say: "It's delicious, otherwise I'll go buy you something else? What do you want to eat?"

Mo Fengyi shook his head and ate slowly.

In fact, Xun Can can't help it. He said that there must be a way for a car to reach the mountain, but if there is a cliff behind the mountain, what should we do?

"Just sit and wait for death?" Xun Can really didn't want to bear it, so he asked directly.

Mo Feng smiled and said: "I'm not sitting still and waiting for death, I'm letting nature take its course."

Xun Can remained silent.

They left the city almost at the end of time.

The winter is getting stronger and the weather is getting colder. Even in the afternoon, Mo Fengyi still feels that there is no trace of heat.

He was very surprised to find a bridge, or to be precise, he found a river. There are so many mountains and little water in the southwest. He thought the water here was all mountain springs.

Mo Fengyi looked at the words engraved on the stone tablet in front of him, and was a little puzzled: "Fingyi Bridge?"

Why are you so familiar?

Xun Can nodded: "Uncle He, haven't you heard of it?"

"How can there be any water here? There is no such thing as worshiping Hebo in the Jiangnan area, and Bingyi is still a female Hebo." Of course Mo Fengyi had heard of Bingyi, but he never believed in such ghostly rumors. rumor.

Xun Can raised his eyebrows: "Isn't there a river here? This river is extremely important. People get their daily water from here. Do you want to worship the river god?"

Mo Fengyi gave a thoughtful "Oh", "Then why don't you worship He Bo Feng Yi, but his wife Bing Yi?"

Xun Can laughed and said, "How do I know this? I'm not a local."

Mo Feng curled his lips, very disgusted.

Xun Can looked at him speechlessly: "If you're really curious, you can ask yourself. Hurry up, and you'll be at Baidaokou after crossing the bridge."

Mo Fengyi was surprised again when he entered.

"The villagers here even built an ancestral hall for your father!?"

Xun Can smiled lightly.

This ancestral hall is not big, only two or three houses, but it stands very conspicuously at the entrance of Baidaokou, and it is elegantly and magnificently repaired.There is also a stone tablet in front of the hall, which stands upright and is exquisitely carved. It is a foot high.

Mo Fengyi silently read the words on the stone tablet: "General Zhichao and thousands of heroes of Baidaokou will live forever."

General Zhichao is naturally Xun Weichu.

Xun Can took him into the ancestral hall, and the people around knew that it was Xun Weichu's son who had come to worship, and they all cleared the place tactfully, and there was only the two of them for a while, very quiet.

Xun Can lit incense, and Mo Fengyi looked at the lonely tablet in front of him and asked, "Why is it only your father?"

Xun Can also lit incense for him, and after the two had done incense, Xun Can said: "Although this ancestral hall is not only built for my father, to commemorate the tens of thousands of heroes who died in the battle, my father is the highest general, so it can be regarded as a representative."

Mo Fengyi blinked, then paused before saying, "Are those soldiers buried here too?"

"Yes, according to Beiyi's rules, officers and soldiers who died cannot return home, but can only be buried on the spot." Xun Can replied flatly, "They stayed where they died in battle and continued to protect the people here."

Mo Fengyi sighed: "...um."

"My mother wrote a farewell letter for my father when he went to war." Xun Can read it out countless times over the years, and recalling it now feels sad.

Mo Fengyi slowly reached out to hold his hand, and said softly, "What did you write?"

Xun Can shed some tears, very few, very quiet.

Mo Fengyi had never seen Xun Can cry before, so he realized that this person had been crying a long time ago, but he didn't make a sound for him to find out, and even when Xun Can was crying, he spoke calmly and forcefully, without any weakness or frustration. Feel.

Xun Can swallowed a sigh of relief, moved his Adam's apple and said, "The wife and children at home don't care about it. The general is righteous, and he cherishes himself..."

It was only when he said this that his voice was a little trembling, with a bit of crying.

Mo Fengyi waited for him, holding his hand silently, neither making a sound nor moving.

"...I would like to send this to you...with tears in my eyes, the heroic soul who protects the country, is immortal..."

Xun Can choked up a little at the end of his speech, and tightly held Mo Fengyi's hand and closed his eyes.

Mo Fengyi approached him, still holding him with his left hand, stroking his face with his right hand, and slowly wiped away the tears for him.

He wiped lightly, rubbing Xun Can's cheek with his fingers little by little, as if this was a very sacred and pious thing.

Feeling the temperature of his fingertips, Xun Can turned her face to his hand greedily.Then he opened his moist eyes, and looked at Mo Fengyi who wiped away his tears motionlessly, his vision was a little hazy, but he felt it was very clear.

"...My mother misses my father so much, she can't bear to live without him." Xun Can said hoarsely, "But me...she went with my father, and just gave up on me... ...."

Mo Feng hugged him distressedly, patted his back and said: "She didn't give up on you, but she knew that she didn't have the energy to raise you... She was in pain, but You can choose to leave."

Mo Fengyi didn't know what Gongsun Yuqing was thinking. Why did she let Xun Can, who was only three years old, commit suicide like that.

Mo Fengyi could only comfort him, hug him helplessly, trying to relieve his sadness.

After the death of Gongsun Yuqing, some people said that she was cowardly and ruthless, refused to accept the facts and even ignored her son. Some people said that she was brave and steadfast, and dared to follow her husband. Of course I don't know anything.

Xun Can buried his head on Mo Fengyi's shoulder and wept wantonly. Finally, he raised his head, wiped his tears and said, "It's been so many years, and I usually think it's nothing. hold back."

Mo Feng rubbed his face with a strange smile and said: "You can only talk to your father about these things. When you were in the imperial city, so many eyes stared at you, can you say it?"

Xun Can's eyes were red, and she muttered in a slightly weeping tone: "Actually, I really blame them... I blame them for not wanting me."

Hearing his soft tone, Mo Fengyi almost knelt on the ground with his legs limp.

Is this Xun Can?

Xun Can is always steady, always peaceful, always confident and calm, even if he sheds tears silently, when will he be so submissive?Have you ever cried like this?

"But I know I can't... The Xun family has been loyal ministers and generals for generations. I, my grandfather, and my father all died in battle. They are all heroes. It is right to die for the country. I even know my ending may be It's the same...but I can't help it...I don't think I'm worthy of being a descendant of the Xun family, I'm so selfish, I selfishly think that my parents can grow up with me..."

Xun Can closed his eyes again, and leaned on Mo Fengyi relaxedly while speaking.

Every time he said a word, Mo Fengyi's heart ached.

He knew very well that Xun Can could not complain and had nothing to complain about. The best ending for a military general is to die in battle. This is a mission, an honor, a right, and a fulfillment of one's wish.

After Xun Can's parents died, almost all high-ranking officials rushed to have him, and everyone desperately expressed their desire to raise the bereaved son of the martyr.

In the end, the emperor was still worried, so he brought Xun Can into the palace and gave him to the noble concubine Jiang Lu to raise him until Gongsun Ao entered the imperial city to take him away.The emperor has treated him generously for so many years, and everyone in the court loves him. Xun Can has been well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child, and no matter what he has, he is the best.If he still complains, others will only think that he is greedy, dissatisfied, and unworthy of being a good queen.

Xun Can has no right to complain and hate anyone. Instead, he should be grateful and learn from his ancestors to serve the motherland in the future.

So Xun Can is very sensible. He has been the best among all the official children since he was a child. He is capable of both literature and martial arts and is humble. Many people even think that his future achievements will surpass those of the ancestors of the Xun family.

They were both very young when Mo Fengyi left the imperial city, and he couldn't imagine how Xun Can lived these years.

He didn't want to think about it, or didn't dare.
