Purple must

Xie Yan waited until Lu Changqing came back, it was already dawn.He held a tall man in his arms.

Xie Yan felt that something was burning his mind, "Brother Changqing, why did you bring him back?" His voice was as cold as snow-washed porcelain.

Lu Changqing walked through the camp where he was stationed, and walked to the bamboo house by the lake. "He was wounded and had a fever, and I couldn't leave him in the field."

"Brother Changqing!"

"I'll send him away as soon as he recovers."

Lu Changqing's back was against the light, so Xie Yan could hardly see clearly.Seeing a person walking on the road of destruction, but unable to pull him back, how hopeless it is.He silently closed his eyes and clenched his fists.

Feng Qi looked peaceful, bathed in the aggressive gaze of Lu Changqing's remnant troops.Lu Changqing placed him on a bed in a bamboo house by the lake.The spring in the mountains is beginning to sprout, the breeze is blowing, and the blue waves on the lake are slightly swaying.

"Your military horse is exposed to me like this, do you think I won't be able to leave?" Feng Qi smiled faintly while coughing.The spring light outside the window shone on Feng Qi's face, coating the tiny hairs on his skin with golden light.Lu Changqing looked at the unfamiliar crow's feet in the corners of his eyes, and realized that he had indeed looked old in the past two years.It's just that elegant and conceited demeanor, but it's the same as before.

"You have been delivered to me over and over again, but now I really don't want to let you go." Lu Changqing put a long fur on Feng Qi, cleaned up the house, turned around and asked, "Are you hungry? I'll cook porridge for you .”

Feng Qi put on his fur coat, leaned against the head of the bed, and said wearily: "Ah Man can cook porridge?"

"Wait a while." Lu Changqing fiddled outside the house for a while, then came in with a bowl of steaming porridge.

"Can you raise your hand, let me feed you?" Lu Changqing sat down on the bed and asked.

Feng Qi looked at the porridge bowl in ecstasy, and Lu Changqing said: "I know how to cook porridge and scare you? Speaking of which, Feng Qi doesn't know me very well, I didn't grow up pampered." When Mr. Qitong died, Lu Changqing was in a situation Difficult, the days of fighting with Rong and Di in the wild, eating and sleeping in the open, and eating ladle soup are all over.

Seeing that Feng Qi didn't refuse, Lu Changqing blew on the hot porridge in the spoon and handed it to Feng Qi's mouth.

Feng Qi defended against Lu Shutong's arrows back then, which caused the root cause of his illness. When the seasons change, he often lingers on the sick bed.The palace people served him carefully, but they were forced by their duties; there had never been someone who stayed by his bedside like Lu Changqing.

The warm porridge melted in the mouth, as if all the bitterness and bitterness of these years could be swallowed.

When Lu Changqing walked into the military tent, Xie Yan and Shen Shutong were already inside.Seeing Lu Changqing coming in, Shen Shutong took out a letter and handed it over.

Lu Changqing waved his clothes and sat down, read the letter silently, raised his head and said, "Han is going to be read by a county doctor down there?"

Uncle Shen nodded and said: "This is the news that our people who stayed in Jingguo just sent. Han Yao, Wei Tu, and Zhao Mou are the three most popular officials in Jingguo, and they are also Feng Yun's confidantes. They used to have No one dared to criticize the behavior of using power for personal gain. Although only a county doctor participated in the book this time, he can still smell some limelight."

"I heard that Han Yao's prodigal son accidentally killed Wei Tu's only son," Lu Changqing said. "It seems that the wind direction in Jingguo is about to change recently."

"Although the three families of Han, Wei, and Zhao are fighting openly and secretly, they have always obeyed Feng Yun's words and never brought these grievances into the court. Unexpectedly, Jingguo, which is as solid as gold, has started fighting among itself." The light shadow reflected on Lu Changqing's slightly hanging face On the eyelashes, he looked like a smile but not a smile.

Uncle Shen clapped his hands together and said: "Your Highness, the terraced fields in the mountains have been opened up, and it's the beginning of spring. I have ordered the soldiers to harness horses to plow the fields. Although the merchants of the Yue Kingdom are our main supply, the situation is still unclear. If we can It is good to take back Qing Kingdom in a short period of time, if we have to delay for three to five years, we still need to be self-sufficient."

"Doctor Shen, self-sufficiency is necessary, but there is one thing you are thinking about incorrectly."

Uncle Shen looked at the commander-in-chief whom he had grown up with.Lu Changqing was sitting upright, with a calm demeanor, like a sword with a hidden front.He is no longer as sharp as before, but the sword light hidden in the black sheath is clearly unstoppable.

Two years ago, he was invincible and never failed, so he was too conceited and underestimated the enemy; it was not until he suffered a serious setback at Fengqi Guoshi that he began to re-examine himself carefully.

Uncle Shen is very grateful that a good enemy can often make people better than a good friend.

"Please enlighten me, Your Highness, I will listen with all my ears." Shen Shutong bowed his hands respectfully.

Lu Changqing's eyes were like a torch, and he said firmly: "Our goal is not to take back the Qing Kingdom in a short time. The reason why I chose to hide in Sichuan and Shu in the southwest is because it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. With our current remnant soldiers, it is not enough to compete with Wang Shi. Contending against the princes, so I am dormant here. Once the right time comes, we must put all our eggs in one basket and go out."

"However, this so-called opportunity is definitely not an opportunity to regain Qing, but an opportunity to swallow up Haojing and win Yasukuni! Even though Qing has a strategic location, just taking back Qing will only make us the target of the princes. Qing State is in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and Jing State controls the middle reaches of the Yellow River. With the acquisition of the vast land between Yongdu and Jiangdu, we have obtained one-third of the territory where the highest terrain and the lifeblood of the river are located in the entire Zhou Dynasty. Only with This kind of force is enough to compete with the princes."

Shen Shutong looked at Lu Changqing with a smile and said nothing.

Lu Changqing suddenly smiled, "It turns out that Dr. Shen was testing me just now to see whether my goal is to celebrate the country or the world?"

Uncle Shen bowed respectfully, "I don't dare, but your Highness is so talented, Uncle Shen, my humble minister, swears to follow!"

Lu Changqing walked out of the military tent, and Xie Yan chased him out.The starry sky in the mountains was clear and bright, and the belated east wind swayed Lu Changqing's black hair.He looked back at Xie Yan, his face was firm and calm, his lips were slightly raised, a little thick, and looked very soft.

"A Yan, you ran out with so little clothes on?" He said softly.

Xie Yan took a few steps towards him, stopped again, and opened his mouth after a long time, "Why did you bring him here?"

"As I said, he was injured and still sick. I will send him away when he recovers from his injuries." Lu Changqing comforted.

"Since he's here, he can't leave." Xie Yan said coldly, "He already knows that we are here, and he has seen the army horses here. Once he leaves, he will definitely bring a large army to encircle and suppress us."

Lu Changqing shook his head, "He won't lead troops to encircle and suppress me."

"You still believe him?"

"Feng Qi...isn't really a ruthless person." Lu Changqing seemed to have remembered something, his eyes softened, and his expression became a little complicated.

"Don't mention his name in front of me!" Xie Yan's body trembled slightly, "Brother Changqing, have you ever thought about me?"

Lu Changqing fell silent. After a while, he stood in front of Xie Yan, with his hands on his shoulders. "Ayan, I promised to take you home and live a good life with you. At that time, I thought that my heart was ashamed of that person.

"I thought I didn't love him anymore, and I could start life with you again. But this time I went to the bottom of the Qiguan cliff, and I realized that I had misunderstood him. On the way back, I saw him injured and poisonous... I found that I can't let go. I wish I could suffer for him, I can't help but love him.

"I can't lie to you, and I can't lie to myself. Ah Yan, I'm sorry for you. If you want to leave, just go. I'm here now. If I win in the future, I will definitely make you a Marquis. If you lose ...You just pretend that we have never met..."

"Slap!" Xie Yan slapped Lu Changqing's face with all his strength.

Lu Changqing didn't say anything, but closed his eyes.

"Are you trying to drive me away?" He asked sharply.

"No, I just feel wronged by you..."

"In your eyes, I am this kind of person? I love vanity? I can only share wealth and honor, but not live and die together?"

"I'm doomed to let you down, you live and die with me, it's not worth it..."

"It's up to you, Lu Changqing, whether it's worth it or not!" Xie Yan took two steps back, his clothes were tight, and Xie Yan, who put away his childish and coquettish attitude, was very similar to his brother Xie Ji even in temperament.Lu Changqing discovered that this child was not as simple as he appeared on the surface, he just kept the most gentle side to himself.

"Brother Changqing, I won't leave. It's worth dying for you." He bowed his head desolately, turned around and left.

Feng Qi coughed at night, couldn't sleep well, and woke up in the morning, sweating all over.He turned his head and saw a moonlight on the lake outside the window, shining silver in the wind.

Thirst in his throat, he coughed lowly, while propping himself up to pour water.Suddenly the candlelight in the room came on, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, and raised his hand to cover his eyes.

After getting used to the light, he saw Lu Changqing sitting on the bamboo chair.A blanket was wrapped around the bamboo chair, and Lu Changqing was probably sleeping on this chair just now.

"Feng Qi, do you want to change?" Lu Changqing asked.

Feng Qi shook his head, "Aman, give me a glass of water."

Lu Changqing got up and poured water, sat on the edge of the bed and helped Feng Qi to drink it slowly.Feng Qi felt itchy in his throat, choked on his saliva, and coughed uncontrollably.Lu Changqing quickly patted his back.

"Why are you here in the middle of the night, why don't you sleep in your tent?" Feng Qi's cough subsided, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked softly.

"I'm afraid you need to change at night, and there is no one to wait for you." Lu Changqing's voice was a little hoarse, showing a little tiredness.

Feng Qi smiled, "Just find someone to come here, but you need to serve such dirty things yourself?"

"I don't want others to touch you." Lu Changqing turned his eyes away.

Feng Qi couldn't catch his words for a moment.In the middle of the night, the hut in the dim candlelight looks cozy and warm.

"Why is Ah Man so worried?" Feng Qi asked.

Lu Changqing shook his head and sighed lightly.Feng Qi embraced his head, let him rest on her lap, and gently combed his hair with her fingers.

"Han is going to be enrolled by a county doctor."

Feng Qi smiled indifferently when he heard this, "It's a trick in the court. The low-ranking officials under Shiling play it to try to find out what he wants. In the Jianghu, this trick is called throwing stones to ask for directions. If Fengyun intends to suppress Han Yao , soon there will be high-ranking officials further impeaching Han Yao. If Feng Yun doesn't have that intention, it would not be a pity to sacrifice a low-ranking official. A few months ago, Han Yao's son accidentally killed Wei Tu's only son. Wei Tu is going to take revenge."

Feng Qi has been in the court for a long time, and he is well versed in the art of maneuvering. He can see through these usual tricks in the court at a glance.Lu Changqing just said it to him casually, wanting to see what he had to say, but he didn't expect him to be careless about this matter, and casually analyzed it for Lu Changqing, and said it very thoroughly.

"Han Yao and Wei Tu's two sons are really disappointing. I heard that they were killed because they snatched a luminous pearl for a woman. But I don't think it's not because someone deliberately provoked this incident." Lu Changqing's profile Her face couldn't help rubbing against Feng Qi's legs under the quilt.

Feng Qi couldn't move his legs, and smiled helplessly, "The court has always been intriguing, maybe there is someone who really hinders it."

"Birth should be like Ah Man." He gently stroked his face and said.

"I miss you forever..." Lu Changqing looked up at his pale face and the corner of his smiling lips, and sighed sincerely.

"Don't go, Ah Man doesn't want me to go, so I won't go." Feng Qi comforted him, turned his head away, frowned and coughed slightly.
