Chu Lang

"Ziyu, I brought you your favorite shortbread today." Xie Changge lifted the curtain of Chu Yue's military tent, and the waiter behind him put the food box on the short one that Chu Yue usually used frequently. on the couch.

For three days in a row, Xie Changge brought people over to deliver breakfast every day.At the beginning, Chu Yue would send people to send food back, but the food sent back would be replaced with other dishes after a while.Later Chu Yue simply let Xie Changge go.

"His Royal Highness led the troops to fight, and even brought the royal chef with him because of his feelings." Chu Yue looked at the exquisite food box and said ironically.

Xie Changge shook his tail, and said, "How is it possible? I made these by myself. You see, when I was making cakes today, oil was splashed on my hands, and there was a bubble." I touched my index finger, and there was a small blister on the joint.

When did he learn to cook?Although Chu Yue was a little startled, she still said in a cold voice: "The ancients said: A gentleman stays away from the kitchen. It can be seen that His Highness is not a real gentleman."

"The ancients said: Governing a big country is like cooking small fish. If you don't learn how to cook small fish, how can you talk about governing a big country?" Xie Changge was well prepared, and Chu Yue couldn't help him.

Chu Yue didn't want to argue with him either, so she just said, "Put the things down, let's go."

Xie Changge walked halfway, remembered something, turned back and said: "Ziyu, there is a meeting in the afternoon, don't forget to come."

"Naturally." Chu Yue said.

After Xie Changge left, Chu Yue dismissed the guards in the tent, and then carefully opened the food box.

The moment the lid was opened, a scent of oil came out.The shortbread is slightly smaller than the palm of your hand, golden in color, and sprinkled with a layer of sesame seeds.

"I did all this myself."

Xie Changge's words resounded in Chu Yue's mind for no reason.

Well, let's have a taste.

Chu Yue split the shortbread from the middle, and saw that there was not only scallion oil in it, but also fried dried meat puff pastry. After one bite, the mouth was full of crispy, scallion fragrance mixed with meat fragrance, and the taste was the same as the one he ate in the East Palace back then. are evenly matched.

After eating the cakes, Chu Yue opened the food box on the lower floor, but saw a blank sheet of paper inside.

After going through a lot of ideological struggle, Chu Yue finally opened the paper as thin as a cicada's wing.

There is only a sentence written in lower case on it: "In the depth of this feeling, the red paper is colorless."

Crazy, Chu Yue cursed secretly, after finishing speaking, she carefully folded the plain paper and put it away.

"Chu Ziyu, are you stupid? He treated you no worse than now, but in the end..." Chu Yue said to herself, took out the plain note again, and wanted to tear it up, "Your life , How many decades can he spend? If he is happy with others again, can you go again?"

But his fingers trembled slightly, and he didn't tear the letter paper in the end.

He sighed, his red lips parted lightly, as if he had compromised, he said: "Injustice."

--------

The last sneak attack had seriously injured the Liao army. Xie Changge took advantage of the victory to pursue the attack in the past few days, and sent a deputy general to lead the team to harass again.The Liao people knew that they were invincible, so they didn't go head-to-head, and simply fought passively.

"What the hell is this Yelu Xuanren thinking? You can fight if you can, but you can't fight and surrender." Gulzhen propped his head on one hand and crossed his legs, and said, "Looks like a bitch, like a fox. Yes, no matter what you do or fight, you'll be a bitch."

Guer is really a mixed race, and there is an indisputable femininity in his appearance. He played with Tang Zhong the day before yesterday, and was forced to shave his beard clean. The only capital that can shock others is Disappeared completely.

Hearing what he said, everyone's eyes gathered on Gulzhen's white and fat face in unison, and said in their hearts, anyone can say that Yeluxuanren looks good, but you...

But Guer really didn't realize it, and shouted: "It all depends on what I do? What did I say wrong?"

Onlookers:  …

Xie Changge handed him a bronze mirror casually.

"Well, it's pretty cool, what's the matter?"

Well, nothing, you said so.

"Song Yang, tomorrow you will lead your troops to the Liao army to call for battle. I don't believe it. Yelu Xuanren can hold his breath so calmly." Xie Changge confessed to the deputy general, and continued, "If there is nothing to do, everyone will disperse, Ziyu You stay here, I have something to discuss."

Seeing that the younger brother was left alone, Tang Zhong still hesitated whether he should go back first or wait for the younger brother to go back together.

Just as he was hesitating, he saw Lin Yuan crawling in like a bird.Lin Yuan first called out "Daddy, Father", and then threw himself into Tang Zhong's arms: "Godfather!"

Guerzhen took a look, and got in between the two of them halfway, Linyuan finally got into Guerzhen's arms because of inertia.

"Ah Zhong is the only one who can hug me." Gul said angrily half-truthfully.

Lin Yuan didn't want to make trouble with him either. He put his arms around him and sweetly called "Godmother" and then said, "Godmother! You said you brought me cheese a few days ago, why didn't you bring it to me?"

"Oh, boy, I said you are so good now, so you are waiting for me here. Let's go, I will take you to get it." Guer really didn't think it was wrong at all, so he grabbed a trap and burrowed into it.

Lin Yuan hurriedly called Tang Zhong again: "Godfather, godfather, let's go together."

Tang Zhong looked at his junior brother, then at Gan'er, hesitating.

"Senior brother, look at Linyuan so well. Yelu Xuanren hasn't made a move for so long, I'm afraid he's holding back some tricks behind his back."

Chu Yue's words reminded Tang Zhong, Tang Zhong nodded solemnly, and took Lin Yuan and Gu Erzhen back to the camp.

"Everyone is gone, so just speak up if you have anything to say." Chu Yue and Xie Changge sat opposite each other, as if nothing you wanted to do would succeed.

But Xie Changge is also a master who never plays cards according to the routine. He stood up and said, "Ziyu, wait for me for a stick of incense, and I will be right back. Be sure to wait for me." Then, he ran no slower than his son.

Just a stick of incense doesn't take too long, but Chu Yue really didn't leave with the idea of ​​"I'd like to see what he's trying to do by not letting me go".

After Xie Changge left, the attendants in the tent made a cup of tea for Chu Yue.

Chu Yue picked up the teacup, and saw a long and narrow bamboo leaf floating in the tea mixed with yellow and green, and a wisp of elegant bamboo fragrance came to her face, like a February day in Qinghe Mountain, with dew dripping all over the green bamboo In the forest, the green-clothed youth strikes "Bird Returns to the Forest" with a sword, scaring the red-clothed youth who is squatting on the ground digging bamboo shoots and falls into the quagmire.

Unfortunately, it has been ten years since I stopped drinking bamboo leaf tea.

Singer Xie Chang hurriedly brought in a bowl of noodles.Pork bone soup, noodles poured in hot oil, accompanied by green onion, and a milky white poached egg.

"Ziyu, eat." Xie Changge touched the bowl in front of Chu Yue, with a look of apprehension on his face, as if he was a boy who was waiting for his master to inspect his homework.

Chu Yue looked at the bowl of noodles in front of her. She didn't know which side of his heart was disturbed by the noodles. A round teardrop fell into the fragrant pork bone soup: "Why bother. Let me go, can't you?"

Xie Changge looked at the person in front of him who burst into tears suddenly, and wanted to say something to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say, so he finally said: "You are the wife that Mingmei is marrying."

"Xie Changge, I beg you, I've already died once, and I really don't dare to die a second time. Back then when I married you with hair, you were so considerate, and you kept vowing to live forever. But in a blink of an eye? You hang around in the brothel, forgetting everything you said."

"I'm living a good life now. I've realized my ambitions and the ideals of serving the country and the people. As for the love of my children... I'm really tired. When I have time in the future, I will go to Chang'an to see you and Linyuan , you and I are like this, just be friends...isn't it good?"

Chu Yue's words seemed to be questioning, but also begging.Ask Xie Changge that he was half-hearted at the beginning, but now why do he guarantee that he will be single-minded.She begged Xie Changge to let him go, and also to let herself go.

Xie Changge just looked at him, but didn't respond.Because, there is nothing to say.

There is no evidence to speak out, and one of his own hearts can't be cut out to show Chu Yue, Xie Changge can't think of a way to prove himself.

Are we really unable to turn back?

Chu Yue walked out of the tent, there were weeds growing on the small road in the camp, and half an autumn moon was hanging in the sky.Not only was the person who heard what he said just now sad, but even the person who said it was sad.

It's not that he doesn't want to believe him, but he doesn't dare to believe him.

"Do you want to do it?" Chu Yue suddenly became vigilant when she heard a whisper.

Another person said: "After following him for two days, I finally placed an order. If you don't do anything now, when will you wait?"

As soon as the words fell, several people in night clothes jumped out of the surroundings.

"This king is in a bad mood. Yeluxuanren is really considerate when you come to me." Chu Yue raised the corners of his mouth, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and assumed a fighting posture.

Several people made eye contact with each other, and then rushed forward.

The birds return to the forest.

The long sword is like a bird, and you are like a mountain forest.

Chu Yue took a sword flower and threw the long sword. The sword fell across the neck of one of the men in black. Chu Yue quickly grasped the hilt of the sword again. In an instant, blood spattered everywhere.

Only a moment after the start, one person was lost, and the rest of the people couldn't help being startled, and the hand holding the sword trembled accordingly.

But you have come this far, how can you give up?Everyone set up a sword array and attacked Chu Yue again.

The bird loves the old forest, the eagle strikes the sky, after several moves, there is only one person left.

"Assassinate with only this little ability? Your master, you are too contemptuous of this king."

The man was already slumped on the ground, unconsciously crawling backwards.

Chu Yue picked up the long sword, walked up to the assassin, and was about to stab the assassin.

Destiny is fixed, the assassin closed his eyes in horror.The sound of metal piercing through flesh and blood rang in his ears, and he opened his eyes blankly, only to realize that the person pierced by the long sword was not himself.

Following Chu Yue's gaze, the assassin saw a person standing not far behind King Anyang, with his back to them, and his body was stabbed by a flying arrow.

"Yelu Xuanren, what else would he do besides throwing cold arrows behind his back?"

Xie Changge looked at the direction of the cold arrow, and then blood came out of his mouth.

Chu Yue's eyes were red, and she raised her sword and ran towards the dark place.

The surviving assassins took advantage of the gap and fled into the dark night.

Chu Yue failed to catch up with the arrow shooter, thinking of the injured Xie Changge, she returned to him as fast as she could.

Xie Changge couldn't stand still and knelt down on the ground.

"Why? If you don't block, the arrow might not hit me." Chu Yue had never felt so flustered.

He never thought that Xie Changge, the dandy prince in his memory who was dressed in fresh clothes and furious, flying eagles and lackeys, would also have a day when he was about to die.

"How dare I take the risk, I have already lost you once." Xie Changge touched Chu Yue's trembling hands with his blood-stained hands, as if he wanted to comfort him, "You died once because of me, and I will die for you today too. Once...if we can survive by luck...we start again...that's good..."

The love of love, life and death.

"Okay, of course. As long as you can survive, whatever you say will be what you say." Chu Yue hugged Xie Changge into her arms, already crying.

Xie Changge pulled a smile at him with difficulty: "Ziyu, call me again..." Before he could finish speaking, he fell into Chu Yue's arms.

"That's why—" In a moment, tears flowed like rain, "Yelu Xuanren, I must want you, and I will die badly."
