Tread thousands of dust

"Why are you standing alone in the snow? It's very cold today." Shu Qiyun looked at her thin body, feeling a little worried.

Ling Ziming shook his head and said: "I'm fine, why is His Royal Highness here?"

Shouldn't he be in the Governor's Mansion?

Shu Qiyun smiled lightly and said: "I heard that Mo Feng has woken up, so come and take a look."

Ling Ziming said helplessly: "My brother is in a coma again."

"How come?" Shu Qiyun frowned.

Ling Ziming said: "He knew about General Wen's death."

Shu Qiyun was startled, and he was also very sad.

Wen Yanhuai has been in the imperial city for almost seven or eight years since he became the general of the Yingteng Army, so he must be considered to have grown up under his watch.

Not only because he is beneficial to the country, but because he is such a good person, he can't just disappear like this. Shu Qiyun doesn't want his daughter to grow up like Xun Can.

But he summoned all the good doctors in Tongzhou for a whole night, but they couldn't save him.

Wen Yanhuai finally stopped breathing yesterday morning.

Shu Qiyun was sad and angry, but he couldn't show it, he could only do his best to deal with the matter here.

He said softly, "General Wen will be buried tomorrow."

Ling Ziming was shocked: "So fast?"

"Yes, after sending He An and the others away, we must return to the imperial city earlier." Shu Qiyun nodded, "General Wen died in Tongzhou, he cannot be transported back."

Ling Ziming couldn't bear it: "But..."

"He also died defending Tongzhou, and I will bury him with the soldiers of the Battle of Baidaokou." Shu Qiyun explained to her lightly.

Ling Ziming still frowned, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Can you... let my brother go to see him before burying him, my brother must have something to say to General Wen, after all, General Wen was killed to protect him knife."

Shu Qiyun froze for a moment, nodded and said, "As long as he wakes up within three days, that's fine."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Ling Ziming's face showed a hint of gratitude.

"this is nothing."

Ling Ziming asked worriedly again: "Has that He An come again?"

The past two days seemed to be calm, but that person He An was still ruthless and sent someone for a few days to ask for an explanation, saying that Tao Fengzun couldn't just die like this.

But since Shu Qiyun is the prince of Beiyi, he dare not make any mistakes.

Shu Qiyun nodded slightly: "It's okay, I'm here, so I'll dismiss everything."

"Your Highness, these should not have troubled you." Ling Ziming was full of regret now, she didn't know why Shu Qiyun came to Tongzhou in just half a month, and she didn't know how he asked the emperor to resign, nor I know how he felt when he received that letter.

I don't even know whether I am grateful or regretful, happy or guilty in my heart now.

Shu Qiyun just came, so fast and with soldiers.

Everything is exactly what they need.

"This is my job. Tongzhou is very important." Shu Qiyun looked at her very displeased, "You don't have to be so careful."

But how could Ling Ziming treat him as naturally as he did Mo Fengyi?

Shu Qiyun didn't expect much, she just hoped that she could see herself more.

Ling Ziming smiled lightly and said, "Okay."

Shu Qiyun was overjoyed in an instant, and said happily: "Let's go in, it's still windy outside."

Ling Ziming also nodded with a smile.

But at this moment, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, where was she being cautious?

Should I give him a chance like what my brother said?

The entanglement of these two days gave Ling Ziming a headache.

Mo Fengyi finally woke up again the next morning.

The feeling on my body is still a pain that penetrates deeply into my bones, and the person next to the bed is still a flower girl.

He suddenly recalled what Hua Qianzi said to him yesterday as if waking up from a dream, and immediately wanted to close his eyes and escape from reality.

But after closing his eyes, Wen Yanhuai still smiled at him and said in his mind:

"Boy, I have taken a fancy to you."

Hua Qianzi got up quickly, helped Mo Fengyi up and said, "Just wake up."

Hua Qianzi brought him water.

Fortunately, Mo Fengyi's physical strength has recovered a lot, he can move now, as long as he endures the pain.

After drinking a bowl of water, my throat was finally not as dry and chapped as it was unbearably burned.

"I...I want to go...to see the old news..."

Mo Fengyi leaned against the head of the bed like a dead fish, and spoke weakly.

Now he is full of resentment towards his own incompetence, why didn't he have the strength to get up then?

Why did Lao Wen come to rescue him and take down the knife?

Hua Qianzi brought him another bowl of porridge, and said flatly, "Go after drinking, you can only get out of bed when you have strength."

Mo Fengyi was surprised that he didn't stop him, but after thinking about it, maybe Hua Qianzi knew he couldn't stop him.

Mo Fengyi obediently brought the porridge over. Now his throat is really bad, and he may only be able to eat liquid food for a month.

After he finished his porridge slowly, Hua Qianzi helped him out of bed.

Mo Feng was in so much pain that his body was trembling, but he still insisted on barely standing still.

Mo Fengyi was still a little surprised when he saw Shu Qiyun at the gate of the governor's mansion, and then he suddenly remembered that it was Shu Qiyun who led the troops to rescue them.

Shu Qiyun probably rushed over immediately after receiving the letter, without any delay.

He also glanced at Ling Ziming who was beside Shu Qiyun, and the girl hurried over to help him get off the carriage.

Mo Fengyi still has many problems now, but his mind is full of things that almost overwhelm him, he just wants to see Wen Yanhuai now.

Pushing open the door of the morgue, Mo Fengyi trembled with his breath.

He dared not go in.

Wen Yanhuai, who was not angry, just lay there quietly.

Shu Qiyun stabilized his figure, and said slowly: "The last sentence of General Wen before he died was to ask if you and Ah Can are awake."

Mo Fengyi looked back at him suddenly, his eyes couldn't tell what was flickering.

Shu Qiyun looked directly at him and said: "I said you are awake, there is nothing serious, but he can't get out of bed to see him, so he closed his eyes."

Mo Fengyi wiped his face with his hands, and suddenly found that at some point, tears were streaming down his face.

Shu Qiyun sighed and said, "Talk to him, I'm going out first."

With that said, he turned around and closed the door thoughtfully.

Mo Fengyi moved to Wen Yanhuai's side step by step, looking at the pale face in front of him.

"sorry Sorry..."

Mo Fengyi bit his lower lip and knelt down weakly.

"Wen Tinglan is only one year old...Are you so cruel?...You said we would celebrate the New Year together...You said you would let me go to the Shadow Vine Army... I'm sorry..."

Mo Fengyi lay on Wen Yanhuai's arm and wept bitterly, just like the child back then.

Between tears, Mo Feng saw Wen Yanhuai's blood-stained clothes on the table behind him.

He had been scrubbed clean and put on a new one.

Shu Qiyun didn't throw away the original clothes, but put them away to be buried with him.

What Mo Fengyi paid attention to was not the clothes, but a silver wind chime on the stack of clothes.

It was a gift he bought for Wen Tinglan back then.

Suddenly, there are two worlds.

Mo Fengyi stumbled over and picked up the silver bell with trembling hands.

There was still some blood on it, and Mo Fengyi remembered that when he sent it out, Wen Yanhuai told him that he would carry this wind chime every day until he returned to the imperial city to give it to his daughter.

The wind chime shook and made a crisp and pleasant sound.

Mo Fengyi didn't know how to calm down, so he could only hold the wind chime and cry.

The world is desolate, and all things are sad.

Mo Fengyi returned to the post house in a daze, but Xun Can still hadn't woken up, it had been three days.

He didn't want to lie on the bed like a waste, anyway, Hua Qianzi had told him to move more, so he just wandered back and forth in the room.

Mo Fengyi really didn't think about anything anymore, the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, Wen Yanhuai was dead because of him, Xun Can couldn't afford it because of his serious injury, and he already knew that He An still didn't let go, still holding Tao Fanzun Threatened to give him an explanation.

Mo Fengyi just kept shaking like this, Hua Qianzi looked at it several times worriedly, and finally couldn't help but said: "If you continue like this, before Xun Can wakes up, you will fall down again."

Mo Fengyi sat down pale and said: "...Do you think Lao Wen and Xun Can will blame me?"

Hua Qianzi shook his head and said, "No."

"... I asked Lao Wen to go to the house at night to arrange the layout... I was going to find Xun Can..." Mo Fengyi stared blankly in front of him, "I should just listen His words... I shouldn't have gone..."

Listening to his lifeless statement, Hua Qianzi frowned deeply: "No matter how much you blame yourself now, it won't help. They are doing this not only for you, but also for the people of Tongzhou. If you don't cheer up, He An is going to use this as an excuse to fight!"

Mo Fengyi supported the table and sat down and said: "Then let him come, at worst I'll just go."

Hua Qianzi said, "Do you really think so?"

Mo Fengyi nodded expressionlessly.

"If you were arrested, would you be worthy of General Wen and Xun Can?" Hua Qianzi asked calmly.

Mo Fengyi was shocked violently.

"They did this for you, for Tongzhou not to fall into war. What would they think if you are so negative now?" Hua Qianzi bought him a glass of water, handed it to him and said, "I know you are sad , but the current situation does not allow you to continue to be decadent."

After Mo Fengyi drank the water, he continued to sit like this, and after a while he said in a hoarse voice: "But what else can I do? I killed Tao Feng, I have to go."

Mo Fengyi kept clutching the wind chime in his hand.

Before Hua Qianzi could continue, Shu Qiyun entered the door.

Hua Qianzi saluted and said, "His Royal Highness."

Shu Qiyun nodded and said, "I have something to talk to him about."

Hua Qianzi understood, went out and closed the door.

After Shu Qiyun sat down and looked at Mo Fengyi, his face was only slightly bruised, but the extremely obvious scar on his neck was really shocking.

Mo Fengyi knew his reason for coming, and asked directly: "Did your Highness arrive in Tongzhou that night?"

Knowing that he was talking about the night they were looking for Xun Can, Shu Qiyun nodded and replied: "That's right, I went to the Governor's Mansion first, and Yuan Weifan told me that you were all in the courtyard by the city. By the time I arrived, you were all unconscious."

Mo Fengyi cleared his throat and asked again: "Did your Highness come because of that letter?"

Mo Fengyi's throat was burning hot, but he really had too many questions, and he didn't want to stop talking.

Shu Qiyun nodded and said: "After receiving the letter, I reported it to the emperor. Fortunately, it is already the end of the year, and all matters are left to the queen and the minister of internal affairs. I am also free, so I came here non-stop gone."

Mo Fengyi nodded, and Shu Qiyun asked again: "Why did you write that letter to me? Did...Zi Ming ask you to write it?"

Mo Feng said with a hoarse voice: "Actually, Zi Ming doesn't know, but I want to see if you really care about her. I'm sorry, I shouldn't test you like this."

Shu Qiyun waved his hand: "You are her brother, there is nothing wrong with doing this, I will not blame anything, and this matter has developed like this, I should have come."

Mo Fengyi was feeling exhausted and said now: "Then you...ahem...the soldiers you brought were entrusted to you by the emperor..."

"Father doesn't allow me to bring troops to Tongzhou, you should be able to imagine that. I'm already a big fan. If I lead troops from the imperial city, others will think that we have plans to fight in Beiyi." Shu Qiyun replied Dao, "So the soldiers that night were the border guards guarding Baidaokou in Beiyi. They originally received the imperial order to keep me safe, but they were recruited by me."

"The guard gate of the border guards is still dozens of miles away from here. How did they come here so quickly?"

Shu Qiyun took a breath and said: "When I arrived in Baidao City, they were the ones who took care of me. They had already arrived, but they were always outside the city."

Mo Fengyi nodded and continued to ask: "How many people did the border guards allocate to you?"

"5000 people."

Mo Fengyi frowned, as if he felt a little lacking.

Seeing this, Shu Qiyun said to him: "I know that the army brought by He An has a total of 2 people. These people are nothing more than a pebble against a rock to them, but you don't have to worry about it."

Mo Fengyi sneered: "Did Yuan Weifan tell you that they have 2 people? Or the emperor?"

Shu Qiyun sensed his unkind tone, but didn't mind, and instead replied: "It's the father, but when he got the news, you had already left the city, so I couldn't explain it to you."

"Is that so..."

Mo Fengyi smiled lightly: "Since there are only these people, why did you tell me not to worry?"

Shu Qiyun said: "When I urgently dispatched to find you that night, I only used 500 people, and I put the rest outside the city to suppress He An's army. In fact, the father wanted to send me an army, but It’s obviously not going to work, because we can’t act rashly and let people get caught, not to mention the remoteness of Tongzhou, and there are very few troops that can be dispatched quickly. Even the nearest border guards can only give me 5000 people.”

Mo Feng's expression was cold and gloomy, and he didn't make a sound.

"But I said I won't worry you because there is another group of forces that can suppress He An."

Mo Fengyi looked up at him with doubts on his face.

Who will help him at this time?

"Do you still need to guess?" Shu Qiyun looked at his expression, "Of course it's your father."

Mo Fengyi really did not expect: "My father?"

Shu Qiyun nodded: "At the beginning when I received your letter, your father knew about it, and he was a little worried about you, so after I left the city, in the name of the leader of the Wenyu League, he sent an emergency summons to Jianghumen near Tongzhou. make."

Mo Fengyi was puzzled and said: "But when I left the imperial city, my father had already sent 50 people to follow me. He said that this is already the upper limit."

"The person you use to protect you is different from this one." Shu Qiyun said, "And he seems to know the situation in Tongzhou. He An has too many soldiers, so he is worried."

Mo Fengyi asked: "So he issued an emergency call?"

"Yes, all the people in the Wenyu League around will be at your disposal before the year." Shu Qi agreed, "These people add up, definitely exceed the number of He Andai."

"Me? He gave it to me?"

Shu Qiyun nodded with a smile, and said with some concern: "The only problem is that they are all people from the Jianghu. The issue of Tongzhou concerns the imperial court, and it is inconvenient for them to intervene."

"I know what you mean." Mo Fengyi said lightly, "I killed Tao Fanzun, and I will put an end to the relationship with the court."

Shu Qiyun sighed and shook his head: "You are the son of Princess Xiangyue, the eldest son of Beiyi. You kill people, it is impossible to separate yourself from the court, and even if others can understand it as grievances, He An can't let go, Hanna Less likely."

Mo Fengyi frowned: "What do you mean? So people are useless? They can only protect me?"

"That's what I mean. These people from the rivers and lakes are not allowed to participate in the court's battle. Even if He An wants to lead troops into Tongzhou, they can't justly fight. Because that will definitely cause criticism, and some people will even say that Wen Yumeng has defected to the court. , is not good for you either."

Shu Qiyun said this out of selfishness, after all, he is the prince of Beiyi, and he never wants to see Tongzhou fall into war.

But he still didn't want to implicate the innocent Wen Yumeng.

Mo Feng is about to explode.

He rubbed his eyebrows and said: "That is to say, it would be better if He An came to me, but if he sent troops directly, we would be very passive instead, wouldn't we?"

Shu Qiyun agreed: "Well, so we need to negotiate."

Mo Fengyi only felt his head hurt more and more, he swallowed in his heart and said, "I'll go."

Shu Qiyun shook his head: "Your injury is still serious, let's take care of it, I'm still here. I'm the prince, and he doesn't dare to do anything to me no matter what."

"But the person he wants is me." Mo Fengyi raised his hand to pour water, and Shu Qiyun hurriedly got up to pour it for him.

Shu Qiyun hesitated and asked, "Why did he arrest you?"

Mo Fengyi flashed a smile: "How do I know?"

Shu Qiyun sighed and stopped asking.

Mo Fengyi drank the water and said: "So I'll go, without delay, I will go tomorrow, I will try my best to make him retreat."

Shu Qiyun still wanted to refuse, but he knew that the current situation was too tense. In the past two days, He An was pressing harder and harder, and he was really worried that if he dragged on, he would be furious.

So he finally agreed: "I will send someone to protect you secretly."

Mo Feng nodded his head differently.

"Then let me ask you now." Shu Qiyun said, "What is your plan for that night?"

Mo Fengyi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with tears. Mo Fengyi sighed and said, "Ah Qian and I were the ones who went to look for Xun Can, but I was worried. Find a way to meet us."

Mo Fengyi was a little choked up as he spoke, his throat tightened, and there was another burst of burning pain: "...So we decided, A Qian and I went to find Xun Can first, and then waited until He An shot at us, and fought openly. one game."

Shu Qiyun frowned: "Then why did General Wen go? He is the envoy of Beiyi, so he shouldn't interfere at all."

Mo Fengyi took a deep breath and said: "If He An took the initiative to attack, it can be understood as self-defense, so Lao Wen asked me to delay, he was going to find out the situation of that house, and take them away in one fell swoop."

Shu Qiyun nodded: "That's why he led the troops there in such a timely manner?"

Mo Feng smiled lightly: "He was not in time for you."

Shu Qiyun lowered her head, feeling a little helpless: "It was all fine in the first place, right? Why did it happen later?"

Mo Fengyi was in a daze for a moment, he pointed to his neck and said, "Where do you think this came from?"

"Crazy Tao?" Shu Qiyun was too shocked to speak, "Does he still have martial arts?"

"Of course, otherwise why would we have failed like this." Mo Fengyi's face was gloomy, "I'm afraid the only thing that got him wrong is that his martial arts are so superb... We couldn't beat him together."

Shu Qiyun comforted: "But didn't you kill him anyway?"

"That's because..." Mo Fengyi had no emotion in his eyes, "He pinched me...but finally let go."

Shu Qiyun asked doubtfully, "He doesn't want to kill you?"

"I don't know..." Mo Fengyi was still in a daze, "I just know that I'm going to kill him."

Shu Qiyun said no more, these are not things he should ask.

He doesn't need to know that much.
