Crown Sword

The old yellow dog who followed from the village rushed up the slope and barked all the way, the pioneer shouted "over there", and saw a flying shadow passing by, so fast that he couldn't see his face clearly.

The smell of blood is very strong. Judging from the experience of Jianghu, either death or injury.

"Mother, where are you, mother?" Chang An yelled hoarsely, seeing Gong Yangyue had drawn his sword, his heart was suffocated, and he ran over with his hands and feet.

The howling of wolves was getting closer.

After turning over the hills and woods, the torches were lit one by one, and the distant scene shocked everyone——

Mrs. Sun was holding two kitchen knives, covered in blood, and was fighting wolves. Looking at the dead wolves, traps, and prepared tools on the ground, it can be seen that she came prepared, and she had no intention of dying. go back.

She wants to avenge her son!

Any bloody person who sees this scene will be touched by it, even if there is no one in the whole mountain, there is no one to explain.

"Mom!" Chang An shouted hoarsely.

Sun suddenly turned her head, and the moment she saw her son, her eyes were hot and tears welled up, as if there was nothing happier than this world.

"careful!"

Chao Chen threw out the torch nearby, scaring away the two wolves, Chang An was afraid to help, so he didn't dare to go forward, so he stretched out his hand and called his mother to come over quickly.But Mrs. Sun went deep into the pack of wolves and couldn't escape. A wolf is afraid of fire, but a pack of wolves is not. What's more, there is a wolf inside, with its bloody mouth open and it bites.

"Bang-"

Gong Yangyue stabbed horizontally with his sword, strangling the wolf's teeth, Chao Chen drew out his dagger, and stepped forward to meet him, taking the opportunity to replace the exhausted Mrs Sun, the rest of the people did not sit still, and those who held the torch drove them away with fire The one holding the guy picked up stones and threw knives, finally breaking up the wolves.

Chao Chen threw down the broken dagger, subconsciously grabbed Gong Yangyue's sleeve, looked left and right: "Are you okay?"

"Because you care about me so much, wait!" After finishing speaking, he turned his head and chased in the direction where the wolf king was escaping. Chao Chen was shocked, but his lightness kung fu was so fast that he couldn't stop anyone.

When the sun rises from behind the distant mountains, the golden light shines everywhere, and Chang Daguan's mother and son embrace and weep as if they were reborn after a catastrophe.Chang An talked about the grievances and guilt of these years with snot and tears, and Sun reached out to wipe his teary eyes, then pressed his head hard, and wrapped him in his arms: "It's me, I didn't give you more A good life, I never thought that you have so many difficulties in your heart."

"Son, I don't want to move to Shengle City because I don't want to be your bondage. There are many antelopes and horned deer migrating on the grassland every year. If you can't leave, you should give up."

Chang An's lips trembled, his throat hurt, and he was speechless. The returning Ram Yue stood behind them. He held a sword in his left hand and a mace in his right hand. His whole figure was burned by the sun——

"Oh, fetters..."

----

Tuoba Xiang was dozing off on the incense couch, when he heard someone coming to report, he hurriedly flapped his fan and went out, and saw the four people who hadn't returned all night standing in a row in the front yard, all of them had black frame and swollen eyes, looking tired, Hurry up to call the servant girl to get the sweat towel: "What's the matter?"

Cui Tanfeng put down the medicine box, took a towel to scrub himself, Chao Chen followed him, Gong Yangyue stood up straight with arms folded, seemed a little dazed, the maid was frightened by his murderous aura, and dared not approach him, Tuoba Xiang sighed, took a piece casually, and wiped it for him personally.

"You're such a big man, why don't you know how to take care of him..." Seeing his face stained with stains, the hair on his sideburns stuck together with sweat, and even his clothes being disheveled, Tuobaxiang was puzzled, this is not like going to mourn , On the contrary, it was more like fighting with someone with swords and swords, so he started talking casually.

Gong Yangyue turned her head to avoid her outstretched hand.

Tuoba Xiang froze on the spot, not knowing what was going on, slowly lowered her arms, her eyes slipped down, like a child who did something wrong, staring at the upper of the embroidered shoe in frustration, but soon, she mustered up the courage to take a deep breath again. Tone, smiling and looking up.Only this time, the words of concern were still silent——

"Blood? Why is there blood on your body?" Tuobaxiang grabbed his sleeve, looked left and right in a panic, until everyone in the yard was watching her gaffe, and then stepped back and stuffed the scarf into the ram. Yue's hands: "Here you are."

Ram Moon stared at her complicatedly.

At this moment, Shuang Li, who had been silent by the side, sniffed fiercely, rushed forward and hugged Tuobaxiang's leg, and after coquettishly calling "Princess Empress", wiped away tears: "I really, I really miss my parents."

"Good boy, don't cry." The mournful voice was touching, Tuoba Xiang half knelt down, and patiently coaxed the people around.

Shuang Li sobbed and told the upside down about what he saw yesterday, and finally let out the pent-up energy: "I'm afraid of the dark and afraid of ghosts and cowards, but I really hope they can come to visit me in their dreams, at least let me know , I have never hated what they look like, I know they must have difficulties..."

The cry was sincere, and everyone who heard it was silent. A few maids standing in the corner holding basins lowered their heads and blinked quietly, wanting to let the red and hot eye sockets cool in the wind, and wanted to teach their eyelashes to cry. The crystal on the face is secretly dusted off.

Chao Chen took a sneak peek, only to see Gong Yangyue hesitate to speak several times.

Tuobaxiang coaxed her with kind words, coaxed her tears, and led the little girl to the inner room, just to find a step, so as not to disturb the eyes of the mother-in-law: "Come, I will take you to freshen up, and you can use this place as your own in the future." Home."

The servant girl on the tray took the towel from Cui Tanfeng's hand, and because the doctor in white was the best at speaking nice words to please women, she said a few more words: "I heard from the old man in the mansion that the princess used to be rough and unrestrained, open-minded and unrestrained." Hey, I like the bustle and bustle the most, and I don't know when it started, but suddenly it became like this, dignified, steady, gentle and virtuous."

"Is that bad?"

"Not good," the maid was also straightforward, covering her mouth with her fingers, and dared to whisper, "We Xianbei people don't have the red tape of the Central Plains. Such a highness is too unreal, and I don't know who it is for!"

Tuobaxiang couldn't hear it, but Gongyangyue has good ears, but he heard it clearly, and couldn't help being touched:

Ever since he could remember, his mother has always been like this in his heart. He never thought about her past, maybe like Shuang Li, she cried when she wanted to, laughed when she wanted to, arrogant and mischievous, wanton mischief; In her future, if she never sees each other again in the end of the world, has no children, and is widowed and fatherless, she may spend her life in such a lonely life, dying in a deep hospital.

When they were young, they were very close, but when they grew up, they were separated by thousands of mountains.

The pictures of memories intertwine in his mind like fragments, looking up at the sun, the scorching sun reminded him of Chang Daguan, mother and son embracing each other in the morning light, looking down at the courtyard, the Princess Mansion, which has not changed even an inch of tiles, evokes the memories of the past, and what emerges is the clever and cunning He leaned on the window lattice to peep, and then smiled sweetly and bent his eyes.

It turns out that in the bottom of his heart, there has always been an unspeakable hope——

Seeing him open his mouth several times, Chao Chen took the opportunity to give Gong Yang Yue Hou a heart-push, and actually pushed him stumbled: "Don't say it now, time waits for no one!"

Tuoba Xiang and Shuang Li turned their heads when they heard the sound.

Gong Yangyue finally said what was in her heart: "Mom!"

"You...what did you call me?"

"mother!"

There is a gentle breeze, and the flowers and trees in the courtyard are swaying, and the sound is like rustling, sending a little fragrance.At that moment, the dryness and heat of August disappeared, leaving only the warmth like spring.

Tuoba Xiang accidentally took off the hairpin on the double carp's bun, and there was a sound of "ding dong", she was flustered and didn't know how to put her hands and feet, she said after a while: "Yue, Yue'er, I'll find you clean clothes , "After a while, she said again, "No, I should have some snacks first." Then, tears flowed out unknowingly, she wiped them with her hands, and tried to smile, "I, I'd better go back to the room and clean up first."

Princess Dingxiang, who ambushed the Qin army at the foot of the Yin Mountain and made the enemy frightened, fled for the first time.

Shuang Li worried about chasing after, Cui Tanfeng saw the delicate atmosphere, and followed the trend, after a while the people in the yard dispersed, only Chao Chen and Gong Yangyue were left in the distance.

Chao Chen was about to sneak away, but was stopped by Gong Yangyue.

If you can't go, you can just come and see how he will "excuse the teacher" for that pushing hand.However, Gongyangyue didn't choke or raise an argument as he expected, but said in confusion: "Shuangli told me before that she doesn't care who her biological parents are, I didn't expect..."

"Love is instinct."

"instinct?"

Chao Chen couldn't help talking about herself: "I grew up on the seashore since I was a child. One year, the waves roared in the sea, dark clouds shrouded the sky, and the sun was blocked out. My father and mother went fishing, and the fishing boat capsized. They were washed away by the water and never came back. I I understand Xiao Li'er's feelings very well, because I don't have one, I desperately want it, but I'm afraid of losing it, so I never say anything."

He slowly brushed away Gongyangyue's hand, walked up to him, pressed his arms, and mocked lightly: "Gongyangyue, how can there be so many excuses and reasons, the reason why you dare is just relying on There are people who give behind you, and those who have nothing will only hold it in the palm of their hands as a treasure. What is the difference between you and Chang Daguan? In a sense, you don’t know what is good or bad.”

Gong Yangyue didn't speak, just looked at him steadily.

After a while, Chao Chen pursed his lips and smiled: "Let's make peace."

"reconciliation?"

Chao Chen nodded: "Yeah, let's reconcile! Not with the princess, but with yourself. Love is the most shameful thing in this world, how can you just give up everything because of a choke."

Gong Yangyue shook his head slowly.

Chao Chen met his eyes and walked forward, as the name suggests, like the burning sun in the morning light: "Gongyangyue, let me ask you, are you venting your anger by smacking the mouths of the whole world for the sake of gaining fame, or from the bottom of your heart? Do you want to find "Kaiyang Jilue" and complete the legacy of the predecessors?"

"I……"

"If it's for the former, then let me tell you, you really should make a clean break with the princess and Daiguo, and don't give in to others, but if it's the latter, I hope you understand," Chao Chen looked at him with determination in his eyes. "True patriotism is when the country is in trouble, knowing it is difficult, but still facing it; knowing that you will die, but still seeing death as home, not trying to save face, not beating everyone to death for so-called piety, not doing it for selfish purposes. Kill all kindness and kindness, otherwise, what is the difference between an executioner, a dog slaughterer, and a narrow-minded person who excludes dissidents!"

Chao Chen laughed: "If you listen to it, you should understand that family and country are not an excuse. As for the dilemma, what hurts each other, Gongyangyue, do you think of yourself as a god or everyone as a fool, what can you think of?" Don't others think that people who know it well and have no hesitation can be hurt because of these things, the only thing that can really hurt them is your cruelty to push them away."

Gong Yang Yue's eyes trembled, his heart turned upside down, and his face was moved by this.

"Besides, you are Gongyangyue! You are the Gongyangyue who doesn't care about other people's eyes at all!" Chao Chen clasped his arms tightly, and there was a bit of pride in his tone that he didn't even notice. It was a heartfelt approval. "No one can predict whether every meeting will be the last time, so no matter what time it is, you must take care and cherish it with the last mentality. Fate has never come easily. You must know that there are thousands of people in the world of mortals, and there are many people in the world. Never meet in a lifetime."

Gongyangyue asked by mistake: "Then we... also count?"

"Of course." Chao Chen replied without thinking too much. When he stumbled into those eyes full of meaning, his heart tightened. ...Little Li'er told you about me, but did she say about herself? She had a good saying that night."

"She said, you are duplicity, and you don't know when you will bow your head, so you still need to seize the opportunity, take the initiative, and always...someone has to take the first step."

In the middle of speaking, Gong Yangyue looked at him silently, and suddenly moved forward.

Luoying oppressed, Chao Chen backed away, until he raised his hand, then he closed his eyes abruptly, and continued: "But I don't think others should do it for you, you have to have the courage to take a step yourself. , If you have anything to say, you must say it!"

After waiting for a long time, but there was no movement, Chao Chen raised his eyelids and glanced quietly.Gong Yangyue pinched the fallen leaf stalk she picked up from his head, and rubbed it on her fingertips, not knowing whether she was happy or angry, she seemed to look over with feeling.

"Someone has to take the first step?"

When Chao Chen was discovered, he immediately closed his eyes tightly again, stiffened his neck, "I've said everything I want to say, I'll kill you if you want to cut it..."

Gong Yangyue pulled the corner of his mouth, spread out his arms, and hugged him tightly: "You are right."

You don't need to be so tight, right?

Chao Chen was tense and froze, not daring to move. Although he had done it a few times before, it was either for comfort or out of brotherhood, but this time, he felt something different, even his heart felt like the spring breeze blowing willows. , The ice and snow melted, and I only felt a tingling sensation crawling from my fingertips all the way to my heart.

"How to do?"

But Gong Yangyue still exerted a little force, as if he was afraid that he would break free, then leaned over, put his face next to his ear, and said softly: "Chao Chen, I seem to have really started, and I like you."
