red cliff top

When Wei You woke up, it was already broad daylight.He sat up in a daze, looked around blankly, and realized that he was sleeping on the bed in the bedroom.The hangover made his eyes red, his headache was splitting, and his vision was clouded like a veil.I vaguely remember having a drink with Shen Si in the lobby of the government office last night.

and after?Later, he must have been drunk, and was so drunk that he passed out and was carried back to the bedroom by the servants.Such unrestrained drinking, talking and laughing has not happened for a long time.Who else in the world can he indulge and express his feelings in front of, besides Xiao Wuer of the Shen family?

During the three months of being trapped in Ningcheng, apart from suffering from hunger and fear, he also suffered from depression and indignation in his heart.God is so hateful, Kong gave him the skills of culture and military strategy, governing the country and the country, but taught him to be trapped in a cage with nowhere to display it.He also has the most noble bloodline of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and when others ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan to rule the world, he can only humble himself.

It's just that the people who passed through Ningcheng were exhausted, and they had to rest for two days. Unexpectedly, they encountered the siege of the rebel army. It was a disaster, and they were on the verge of death in an instant.

Everyone can die, but he, Wei You, cannot die. On his shoulders, he bears the great vengeance of his father, the grievances of his mother, the wealth and lives of his two younger brothers, and the many years of painstaking efforts spent in abolishing the prince and his party...

In the six years of Tongle, his father was deposed as the crown prince due to ten crimes including raping the public, lusting for extravagance, and gathering party members. His wife and son were deprived of their titles and confined in the capital mansion.The father was wronged and tortured, and finally he had to commit suicide and died.In order to protect the three sons from being exterminated, the mother is willing to commit herself to King Qi, a perverted evil spirit, and secretly communicate with her.

Wei You will never forget that when he was seven years old, in the secluded waterside pavilion in the back garden, through the gaps in the window lattice and the layers of curtains, he saw his mother and King Qi rolling naked on the ground. King Qi greeted them with a smile, and begged softly not to embarrass the three children.King Qi agreed kindly, with a pair of big hands constantly kneading and playing around his mother, he pricked his penis in his crotch and pierced fiercely into his mother's body...

At that moment, Wei You wanted to turn around and run away, but couldn't control his steps.Shame fell from the sky like a huge iron braze, nailing him firmly in place.As a son, he should draw out his sword and rush in to split King Qi in half, but he knows very well that he is still far from being able to do it with his own abilities, and he is afraid that he will be guarded by the soldiers before he reaches the door won.

In the end, he quietly turned over and jumped off the railing, and ran all the way until he was exhausted, then he knelt down by the lake, and under the cover of the rockery, he buried his face in his hands and wept depressively.A gust of wind blew, and the branches above his head were blown flutteringly, and a small insect fell from the leaves and landed on his skirt.He stared blankly, and saw that the little worm first curled up its body, arched its back, then poked its head forward, stretched its body hard, and only then could it crawl one step slowly by shrinking and stretching like this.

The name of that little worm is chi wok, and there is a saying in the corollary: the bend of the chi wok is for stretching, and the sting of the dragon and snake is for survival.

Now he is just a worm with its head retracted, a potential dragon hiding in a hole.His time has not come yet, but he knows that as long as he waits patiently, it will come sooner or later.So he has been waiting, from a child in the chief role, to a handsome young man, and then to a gentle young man, his appearance is as humble and cautious as ever, and he is not surprised by favor or humiliation, but there is a unwilling emperor's fire buried in his heart. Grow into a flame that burns the world!

After King Qi came to the throne, he was dissolute and dissolute, drinking and having fun day and night, and his health deteriorated. He died after only sitting on the throne for seven years.Two months before his death, the prince he had set up was also frightened by his mount and fell off the horse while hunting, hitting a rock and dying.

The throne finally fell to the second prince Wei Xian who was not favored at the time, and Wei You's youngest brother Wei Qian happened to be Wei Xian's companion.The little emperor came to Dabao and changed his reign name to Xuanzheng.Wei You faintly felt that he was one step closer to his goal.

In June of the first year of Xuanzheng, the little emperor traveled with Wei You, King Jin and others in micro-clothes, and went to Lanyue Mountain to visit Mr. Zeng Cang, the enlightenment teacher.Mr. Zeng is a great Confucian who was not born in the world. He knows astronomy and the land, and he is especially good at the art of war. Zeng was an official who worshiped the prince and grand master. Later, he resigned and returned to his hometown because of his weak nature and disliked intrigue. He lived in seclusion in Lanyue Mountain and opened a school. Lanyue Academy.Because the former emperor bestowed a handwritten golden plaque with the four characters "Zai Ming Ming De", people in the academy call themselves "Ming De Yuan."

At that time, the little emperor was single and weak, and there were few cronies inside and outside the court. He intended to use Wei Qian, but he didn't know how to deal with Wei Qian's elder brother, so he simply detained Wei You in Lanyue Academy with an imperial decree. The name is "serving the teacher with filial piety on behalf of the emperor".

I still remember that year when the bamboo shadows at the foot of Lanyue Mountain were full of greenery, and the yellow mud path snaked forward and went straight to the academy.Because the little emperor proposed a horse race on a whim, everyone had to scramble to beat the horse and gallop.Halfway down the road, the drizzle suddenly started, and I saw a small dark head protruding from the window of the attic of the academy. The boy was afraid that the rain would come into the house and wet the books. The coming team aroused interest, he jumped out of the window like a grandson, stepped on the roof tiles, jumped up the courtyard wall, and then rode on the wall dangling his legs to watch the excitement.

When Wei You arrived, the nimble black monkey grinned at him with white teeth and clapped his hands, shouting, "Hey, the one in the indigo shirt on his head, the horse is riding well!"

To this day, whenever Wei You thinks of contemplating, what always comes to mind is that spunky and nimble little black-skinned kid.

Their classmate life began under such a coincidence.Those few years in Mingde Academy were the most relaxing and pleasant time in Wei You's life.He and Shen Si hit it off right away and became confidants, and soon under the century-old pine, they prayed to heaven and earth to marry Jinlan and became brothers with different surnames.

There is a Xixin Temple on the mountainside of Lanyue Mountain. Behind the temple is a pool named Xixin Spring. After crossing Xixin Spring and passing through a waterfall named Yupaichuan, you can climb the rock to the top of the red cliff.On the top of the cliff, the mist lingers all the year round like a fairyland, looking up at the mountains and bowing your head.From afar, I heard a shepherd boy in the forest riding on the back of a bull playing a bamboo flute, and singing a local tune with a crisp and clear voice: "Lanyue Mountain, Yupai River, five hundred feet, to the end of the sky, on the top of the red cliff, there are gods. The wind goes, into the clouds..."

There, he once told Shen Si about the deep hatred buried in his heart, he also told Shen Si amazing words of treason and injustice, and even hugged Shen Si on the anniversary of his parents' death and wept bitterly.There he made an oath that within ten years, he would take back the great country that belonged to his father with his own hands!

The carefree days always come to an end. In the fourth year of Xuanzheng, the emperor recalled Wei You to the capital with an imperial decree.It just happened that Shen Si went back to his hometown to visit his mother, and the order came too fast. He couldn't wait to say goodbye to Shen Si, so he could only leave a letter and set off in a hurry.

Feeling melancholy, Wei You boarded a boat at the Jinzhou Ferry and headed southward. After traveling far away, he suddenly heard someone calling his name on the bank. Looking back, he saw that Shen Si was chasing along the bank on horseback. He must have seen him. Liu Shu came here day and night, with disheveled clothes and disheveled hair, and dirty mud splashed on the horse's legs and belly.It's a pity that when they arrived, the boat had already left, and the two couldn't say "treasure" to each other after all.

The boundless reeds swayed with the wind, and the dry and yellowed reed leaves were wetted by the mist, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, there were spots of dark gold.Shen Si stands alone by the river, always smiling, but the smile is extremely difficult.The food in his arms rolled to the ground, but he didn't pick it up.It was a small snack from my hometown that I begged my mother to steam for Wei You. When the person left, the things would be meaningless.

As the boat drifted away, Wei You saw the young man's figure turned into a small dot of ink, but he still tried his best to wave his arms, waving farewell to the distant traveler.

A dry mouth interrupted Wei You's thoughts, and he called out the door: "Come here."

The attendant entered the room in response, and stood up with a bow: "What is your order?"

Wei You stretched out a hand: "Tea here." After taking a few sips from the teacup from the other party, he asked again, "Where did General Shen rest? Did he ever get up?"

The attendant was taken aback for a moment: "This...return to the lord, General Shen returned to Yizhou mansion alone early this morning." Seeing Wei You's face full of surprise, his subordinates thought about taking the initiative to report, "My lord, there is another thing that is strange to say At noon, King Jin suddenly left with a large group of people, saying that it was some kind of sudden illness after drinking, and now only a few people are left in Ningcheng to deal with the aftermath. It seems that they are not likely to go to Liaodong, but they are not It's like returning to Jinyuan..."

Not going to Liaodong, nor going back to Jinyuan, could it be that... Wei You suddenly remembered the ulterior motives that King Jin had said when he welcomed Shen Si into the city, and immediately sobered up: "How long has King Jin been gone?"

The subordinates did a little calculation: "It should be an hour."

Wei You didn't have time to think about it, and immediately took a shortcut with his entourage and chased after Yizhou Mansion.Several horses galloped on the mountain path, and the sound of horseshoes made the eardrums buzz.Walking to the mountain stream, in front of you is a wooden bridge that has been in disrepair for a long time. As soon as the horseshoe stepped on it, the bridge deck could hardly bear the weight.Fortunately, these horses were all well-trained. Immediately neighing and raising their front legs, they retreated several feet one after another, and no one was injured or injured.

Wei You tightened his reins and lingered on the spot for a long time, anxious and annoyed in his heart, but there was no way out, so he could only shout loudly in the direction of Yizhou Mansion, which was far away: "Nian Qing! Nian Qing!"

King Jin's carriage was extremely luxurious, with a table, a couch, and a charcoal stove for heating.After meditating on a bowl of hot porridge, the tiredness gradually surged, and the person leaned on the soft pillow, and fell asleep in a daze.The road in the wilderness is uneven, the car inevitably shakes, and Shen Si does not sleep peacefully.The wheel hit a stone, and he trembled suddenly, bumping to the wound on his back, causing him to frown his brows and tighten his fingers in pain, but he still didn't wake up.

King Jin held a book to relieve boredom in his hand, but his eyes kept glancing at the couch unconsciously.The more proud and powerful a person is, the more distressed he is when he occasionally reveals a vulnerable side.Jin Wang felt that meditation seemed to be able to hook a certain string in his heart easily, but with just a casual flick, there was a lingering sound, which was hard to calm down for a long time.

As he walked, Shensi in his sleep suddenly opened his eyes, got up quickly and opened the thick cotton curtain at the window to look out.In a trance, he heard someone calling, "Nianqing, Nianqing", it was Bo Ling's voice!

The carriage was surrounded by patrolling attendants, and behind the carriage was the majestic King Jin Sanwei, who did not have that familiar shadow.Reluctantly, he leaned out most of his body and looked farther and farther away. There were only distant mountains and nearby mountains, billowing dust and sand.

King Jin looked at it strangely: "Nianqing, what's wrong?"

It was only then that Shen Si realized how weird his behavior was, and hurriedly used words to cover it up: "After lying down for a day, my bones are sore and limp. Get up and stretch."

The sky was getting dark, and the team stopped to set up camp when they reached an open field to rest and bury pots for cooking.Before the carriage came to a complete stop, Shen Si had already put on his clothes and jumped out of the carriage.King Jin couldn't stop him in time, and saw that Shen Si's figure was so flexible that he didn't seem to be injured at all, so he had to smile helplessly, and stepped out of the carriage.

Shensi went around several carriages and found his horse that accompanied him all the way.It was a glossy black mare, with a spot of white on its four hooves and forehead.When the horse saw its master, it trotted briskly, snorting excitedly.Shen Si stretched out a hand and gently rubbed against its cheek, the posture was gentle and slow, full of cherishing feelings.

King Jin had nothing to say: "The horse is very beautiful, what's its name?"

Like introducing an old friend for many years, Shen Si patted the horse's neck and smiled at King Jin: "Her name is Zhan Feng."

King Jin observed the horse carefully: "The fur is clean, and the standing posture is also very elegant, but it is slightly smaller in stature, and it seems to be underage. It is still not as good as a real BMW horse."

Shen Si smiled "ha": "Although she is not a good BMW horse, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a better horse than her in the world of Jinyuan."

"Oh?" King Jin's phoenix eyes raised, "Nianqing, your tone is a little too loud, you must know that the cowhide will break if it is overblown."

Shen Si was so excited that his fighting spirit was ignited, and he was eager to try: "Why don't you come to the next game? If I win, my lord, you will personally welcome her into the Jinyuan Realm in red. If you win...you don't have to think about betting anymore , you will definitely not be able to defeat me."

Jin Wang was amused by his childishness and laughed heartily: "Hahaha, come on, come on, Nian Qing, you are injured, we will not be too late to compare this horse..."

"What is this little injury?" Shen Si turned on his horse nonchalantly, and looked down at King Jin with a provocative look, "or...the Lord Qiansui is afraid of losing too badly and losing face?"

Before King Jin could answer, he flew out like a sharp black arrow, stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust flamboyantly.King Jin had no choice but to chase after him on horseback. The guards were even more overwhelmed, and got on their horses in a panic to follow.

King Jin clamped the horse's belly and galloped all the way, only to see the young man in front of him with his waist and hips erect, his upper body lying on the horse's back, rising and falling, as if he had already become one with the horse.Every time he saw that the distance was getting closer and closer, and the horse's head was about to bite the horse's tail, the man turned his head and gave a sly smile, and then sped up the horse again to throw him far away.

The wind rustled in my ears, and the shadows of dense trees flashed by on both sides.In King Jin's body, something seemed to be boiling gradually. He seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago. He was in full bloom and majestic, and a vast battlefield appeared in front of him. He, like the teenager Shensi, regards the battle on the battlefield as a joyous game.

Sigh, only sigh that the young children are old in the world, and they have been tossed and turned for many years.I don't know when it started, he became afraid of death, and he didn't want to face any cruel fighting and killing anymore.Maybe I am really old, even though I still can't bear the word "old" at my age, my mood is already desolate and dilapidated, and it is no longer what it used to be.He couldn't stop daydreaming, if he kept chasing after him like this, would one day he be able to reclaim the youthful years of more than ten years?

The twilight is getting thicker, the fog is dense, and the rolling peaks are hidden in the darkness.A shallow pale crescent hangs silently on the top of the mountain, and the wilderness is covered with a layer of illusory silver frost.Beyond the boundless mountains, there were occasional howls of wild wolves.

The surrounding area was very quiet, King Jin tightly grasped the rough rein in his hand, listening to the rapid panting of himself and the horse.Gradually, those selfish and distracting thoughts disappeared, and all the court disputes, intrigues, and bloodshed were all left behind by him...

In front of him, there is only a galloping young man with a handsome back, and in his heart, there is only one clear and persistent thought to catch up with him!
