Drunk Yangzhou

Fu Yiting knew that he had lost face and had to get back the game, so holding back his anger, he took the handkerchief Tang Cheng handed over, wiped the jade flute clean, and put it next to his lips. Xiao Ge saw that he was familiar with it. The posture, already knowing that he can play it, immediately raised his wrist and plucked it, four fingers flowed between the sandalwood grooves, lightly kneaded and trembled, five fingers touched the strings, and shook the slow wheel quickly, the music sounded like jade beads falling on the plate.

Neither of them has ever played with others, they just play by feeling, the pipa goes first, and the sound of the flute fills in the gap. The spring river is beautiful, the flowers and shadows are reflected one after another, the grass and trees are newly born, and they gradually grow together with each other. After the sunset, Hengzhou sings, partridges sing, swallows wear thin clouds, and the bright moon floats in the sky... Various scenes are changing. , getting better and better.

The soldiers were fascinated by what they heard, as if seeing the spring tide and moonlight after the triumphant return, there were people from the vicinity of Xunyang in the Wu army, and they were already crying with emotion.

The bonfire melted away and filled the sky with snow. Fu Yiting stood tall, his clothes fluttering, and his knuckle fingers dexterously played the flute, soaked in the rhyme, with a focused expression.The impatience just now had disappeared, his deep brows stretched out, and the brows moved slightly with the change of energy, adding a bit of rare elegance to the former heroic appearance.Xiao Ge only took one look, and his heart was already pounding.

At the end of the song, the two of them stared at each other for a long time, and saw the surprise and admiration for this tacit cooperation in each other's eyes. The world was quiet for a moment, and then there were bursts of cheers and applause from the Qin and Wu armies... The song put everyone in a beautiful and peaceful state of mind, dispelled Wu Jun's hostility towards King Qin, and no one told Fu Yiting to go back to his territory. On the contrary, many people secretly expected them to play another song together.

At this time the dumplings had also been brought up, steaming on the plate in the hands of the cooking army, Xiao Ge smiled slightly, put down the pipa in his hand, signaled the brothers to go at their own pace, and quietly walked back to the main camp.Fu Yiting pondered for a moment, then followed.

"You have talent." He was preparing to speak, but Xiao Ge had already turned his head and gave a compliment, and looked away for a moment when he met his gaze.

"Fingers are red from the cold." Fu Yiting had noticed those red hands a long time ago, and couldn't help but catch them in his palms and cover them.

Xiao Ge wanted to say that it would be good to go in and enjoy the fire, but he was finally softened by the heat of that person's palm, so he let him go.

In the open space between the two armies, first someone sang the melodious and elegant Yangzhou ditties, and then the majestic Qin Opera sounded. There were no firecrackers tonight, but the sound of laughter and applause continued continuously.

Xiao Ge only used a few dumplings before rinsing his mouth and hands. Fu Yiting felt that the skin of the bean noodles was hard, so he cooked fresh mutton slices in the pot. An elegant and thick rosin permeated the air.

Xiao Ge sniffed the rosin, he couldn't help being distracted, he is a person who loves rhythm, and at this moment he is still reminiscing about the harmony and beauty of the piano and flute ensemble just now, "Qishao, if there is a chance, we should play a few more pieces together."

Fu Yiting was happy for no reason when he heard him call himself Qishao again, but he thought of Xiao Ge's graceful appearance holding the piano just now, and he felt uncomfortable. He had countless thoughts to express, but at this moment he spoke clumsily and put down his chopsticks to rinse Chewing the tea, he finally choked out a sentence, "Don't play the piano in public again!"

"Why?" Xiao Ge was surprised, "The soldiers are very excited, and you Qin soldiers are no exception, isn't that good?"

"You are 'beauty and beauty together', I just want to 'golden house hides the beauty'." Fu Yiting suddenly wanted to turn Xiao Ge into a golden bird raised by him, and his every frown and smile was only for himself, but this person was obviously hovering high in the sky The eagle, not to mention being controlled by him, even fighting against him would take almost half of his effort.

"Do you know the ending of Jinwu Cangjiao?" Xiao Ge shook his head, as if mocking his naivety.

Fu Yiting's heart moved, he seemed to understand what Xiao Ge was referring to.No matter how beautiful the gorse is, one day I will get tired of looking at it. The end waiting for it is to be abandoned by the owner. When facing the natural wind and rain, it is weak and unbearable.And the eagle, standing proudly in the sky, soaring in the sky, really has the air of a king... Between him and him, after all, it is impossible to belong to each other, only enemies and friends, fighting against each other.

The cheers outside gradually subsided, the moon was behind the clouds, and the snow was getting heavier, leaving only the crackling fire in the tent, making it even more quiet. Fu Yiting walked behind Xiao Ge, hugged him tightly, and put his chin on him. On the shoulder, said in a deep voice, "Huai Jie, this is the first time someone will accompany me to celebrate the New Year..."

He felt the person in his arms stiffen for a moment, and then he let out a long sigh, "You've been used to being alone since you were a child, haven't you?"

If you were there, you wouldn't be alone...Fu Yiting thought silently, but he didn't answer, but asked instead, "Can we... celebrate the New Year together in the future?"

Xiao Ge didn't answer right away, he actually held a negative attitude in his heart, but saying it at this time would hurt this unforgettable night, and in the end he still said softly, "If you want, I will try my best..."

Fu Yiting's heart shivered, he let go of the person in his arms, walked back to the table and sat down, what he didn't want to admit was that these words had moved him to the point of tears.

Xiao Ge looked back at Fu Yiting, and found that his vigorous posture of sitting on his knees was very familiar, almost no different from that of Qinglong. He suddenly wanted to ask him the question he asked Qinglong, and in a short while, he quickly realized that he was being self-indulgent That's all.Qinglong once expressed his intentions, but Fu Yiting never said such a thing, he only opened his mouth to joke and control... Even contacting himself was to take down Dunhuang.

Xiao Ge sighed, sat down opposite him, just continued to drink tea, tonight they were all full of worries, sitting around the fire and listening to the snow fall to the east mountain quietly, but no one spoke easily.

It was not until many years later that Fu Yiting realized that what he was fascinated by was always the eagle. If he had spoken frankly that night, maybe everything would have changed in the future... It's a pity that there are no ifs in this world.

In the spring of this year, Zheng Qian and Ma Zhao suffered forty boards and recovered two lives.After Fu Yiting got rid of Shi Yusheng that day, he thought that this disaster also brought out the unknown secrets of Dunhuang and the Golden Buddha. The result was not too bad, so he became forgiving and gave them a chance to take the blame and make meritorious deeds. During the period of the Eastern Expedition, the usefulness of this golden Buddha was found out.

Zheng Qian is really good at intelligence. He first pried open the mouths of the rogues. After coercion, temptation, and torture, he realized that the rogues under Shi Yusheng also knew little about the Dunhuang matter. There are a batch of treasures to be found from this golden Buddha, but no other details are known.But this is undoubtedly a major discovery. After writing a letter to report to Fu Yiting, he happily went to Dunhuang City in disguise with Ma Zhao to explore and search, and then went to the Ganliang prefectures that the Qin Army had conquered, and read and screened all the dossiers. , and copied a copy of the useful document day and night, and sent it to Fu Yiting in Northern Mongolia.

Fu Yiting was negotiating with the local officials in Anbei about the stationing of the Qin army, and took time to look through Gan Liang's file carefully. He saw that 20 years ago, when his father was in Dunhuang to stop Huijuan's local rebels, Xiao Wenzhou was in Xixi. During the period from the fourth year to the seventh year of the Ping Dynasty, he also came here to help him in the rear to be responsible for the raising of military salaries and the transfer of food and grass... Although one is the king of Guangling and the other is the king of Qinbei, in order to decentralize power, the court transferred them to the western border and ordered them to come here. It is in charge of many affairs there.All the elders in the court knew that the stability of the Southwest and Northwest of Daxia could not be separated from the efforts of these two princes for many years.It is actually something that everyone in the world knows that they are in power together, and it is by no means a secret, but Fu Yiting frowned sensitively when he saw that Xiao Wenzhou had handled so many important military affairs.

Zheng Qian did not get the Dunhuang dossier. According to the news that he went deep into the government office, many documents were destroyed in a fire in the ninth year of Xiping. Xiao Wenzhou and Fu Yao passed away one after another more than ten years later. What happened in Dunhuang City in the early years of Xiping has no way to test and nowhere to check.

All of this was too secretive, as if they were deliberately covering up something together.

Fu Yiting was puzzled. He continued to browse through the materials and found that in March of the sixth year of Xiping, Xiao Wenzhou made a petition to the court, requesting to build a Buddhist temple by the Crescent Spring on the grounds of exchanging cultures and stabilizing the frontier. From June, Liangzhou and Guazhou had transportation The record of a large number of wood and stone... One year later, Fu Yao went to the temple to preside over the completion ceremony of the Buddhist temple...

The Moyang Temple where Ruhai is the abbot was built by Xiao Wenzhou!Fu Yiting immediately felt that the whole body was poured with cold water, Ruhai said that the Golden Buddha was not given to the Fu family, it must be...

Stinky monk!Keeping the promise like this, is it because he has an affair with Xiao Wenzhou? !Fu Yiting cursed fiercely, and then shuddered. Since Shi Yusheng knew about this, other people must have known about it. No matter what kind of connection there is, he needs to let Xiao Ge come to Dunhuang to meet Ru Hai as soon as possible. Only in this way can we ensure that the Golden Buddha and the treasure will not fall into the hands of others.

Although Ru Hai would definitely explain the whole story to Xiao Ge at that time, Fu Yiting still sent Li'er to send a message to Xiao Ge, and he was ready to fight.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ge had no intention of coming here at all, he just replied the letter indifferently, without explaining the reason, it just happened that some tribes in the northern part of the Yin Mountain were in chaos, and Fu Yiting had to focus on fighting and suppressing, and he didn't have a little time until winter , came up with a way to hijack Xi Cefan and force Xiao Ge to come over.

They went all the way north from the west of Sichuan to Dunhuang. The closer they got to Dunhuang, the heavier Fu Yiting's heart became - this time he was ready to take the golden Buddha head-on, which meant that they would start a non-committal fight. Xiao Ge doesn't know anything about the existence of the treasure right now, he knows in his heart that he has an absolute chance of winning.

"My lord, you are back!" Zheng Qian had already been waiting in front of the camp, seeing the people beside his lord, he couldn't help showing a sly smile, Xiao Ge came here, and the matter was more than half done.

Fu Yiting couldn't help but smiled knowingly, turned his head to Xiao Ge and said, "Huai Jie, come to my tent, and I'll tell you about Gan Liang's situation."

Xiao Ge's heart was raised higher and higher along the way, and Wu Jun's guards became more and more strict. He cautiously refused, "It's late tonight, let's do it tomorrow."

"That's fine." Fu Yiting didn't force it, "Have a good rest tomorrow, come and find me in the army."

"What are your plans for tomorrow?" Xiao Ge asked, "Going to meet the Dunhuang defenders?"

Fu Yiting refused to disclose, and lied, "Exactly, I will take you there tomorrow."

Xiao Ge nodded, and was about to turn around and leave when Fu Yiting stopped him.

Fu Yiting led Yi Ri over, put the rein in Xiao Ge's hands, "I promised you earlier."

Xiao Ge couldn't help smiling, "It's been too long, I'm afraid it doesn't recognize me anymore."

The horse seemed to be contradicting his words, and kept pressing his palm with its steaming nose.

"You have a predestined relationship with him, how could you not recognize him." Fu Yiting smiled, and then said sternly, "In the northwest, there are too many sandy fields, and its horseshoes are wide, so it walks steadily."

"Then thank you Qishao." Xiao Ge nodded reservedly and accepted it, handed the rein he was holding to Bai Song'an, and walked to Wu Jun's camp together.

"See you tomorrow." Fu Yiting watched him leave.

Zheng Qian complained that these two people will meet again tomorrow, how can they be separated like this...

Xiao Ge's figure had been mixed into Wu Jun's silver armor, and he could not be recognized, while Fu Yiting still stood there without moving. Zheng Qian dared to take a look aside, Fu Yiting's eyes were still as deep as ink, containing endless complex meanings, and there was a trace of Subtle hesitation.

The author says:

"If I had you, I wouldn't be alone." Xiao Fu, you said it out loud, hey... But it doesn't matter, there will be opportunities in the future!
