walk to the water

A small black shadow appeared in the sky, and the black shadow expanded rapidly, and soon one person and one rider arrived at the riverside like lightning. Di Feng was full of dust and anxious expression, "Junior Brother!"

Chu Xiang rushed forward to meet him, and said in shock, "Brother, why are you still in Qin? Fu Ling didn't let you go?"

Di Feng didn't have time to say more, jumped off the horse and took out the letter from his personal pocket: "There is an urgent letter, please read it."

Chu Xiang took the letter, there was no word on the envelope, and it was not sealed. He took out the letter paper, glanced at it, and found that it was not signed. The familiar handwriting was flying and flying, and the letter was written in sixteen characters: "The middle school has changed, and the net has been formed. Mo Xuewumu, I still remember Li Ling." Chu Xiang was taken aback, and looked at Di Feng puzzled.Di Feng said: "Brother, to make a long story short, Fu Ling received a secret report from Zhou Guo. Wang Yun may plot against An Lan. The situation is very unfavorable to you. Fu Ling is afraid that you will not believe me, so I specially asked me to report to you at Xingye, so that you can hurry up." Go back to Beijing, just in case something happens."

Before Chu Xiang answered, he heard Chu Xu calling him from a distance on the boat: "Brother, what happened? It will be difficult to cross the river any later!"

Chu Xiang responded, and turned his head to look at the river. The twilight was heavy and misty, and he couldn't see the scenery on the other side, and he couldn't see the home that was lingering in his dreams. What would happen on the other side of the river? ...Fu Ling has worked so hard, how could he not believe him?His letter made it very clear, don't learn from Wu Mu, but still remember Li Ling. However, if the fate of the country has come to dusk, how can he greet the dawn alone?He wants to remember the lessons learned by Yue Wumu, and follow the example of Li Ling, reining in the precipice, abandoning his homeland, returning to the north to the Huns, and enjoying prosperity and peace.And once he decides to return to Shangjing, he is doomed to be forever under his wing, willingly to be a subjugated slave, to his homeland in the south of the Yangtze River, and to go back without shame for the rest of his life... What's the point of living a meager existence?

Chu Xiang smiled, turned his head, and said to Di Feng: "Brother, what do you mean?"

Di Feng thought for a while, and said: "I think this matter is [-]% credible, Junior Brother, I have also been thinking these past few days, Zhou Guo's domestic treacherous ministers are in power, Zhongliang is killed, you have nothing to do with your ambitions. Now Zhou Guo is destroyed It’s the general trend, it’s better to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and make another career. I don’t think you should go back. If you don’t believe his words, you should believe mine, right?”

Chu Xiang nodded and said: "Of course I believe you, and I will not disbelieve him. Brother, what you said is very reasonable. Those who know current affairs are outstanding. But..." Chu Xiang paused heavily, and said in a deep voice, "Gou Li When a country lives and dies, how can it be avoided because of misfortune? When the country is in peril, the honor and disgrace of personal life and death are as light as a feather. If you can't turn the tide with your own strength, you should die for the whole festival. If a man can't be loyal to the country, how can he be self-reliant? Between heaven and earth?"

He spoke these few words impassionedly, righteously, Di Feng was stunned, and said for a while: "Junior Brother, your loyalty to the country is commendable, but you have been detained in Qin State for more than a year, and the experience in it may be caught by people with ulterior motives." Use it to make a big fuss."

Chu Xiang smiled helplessly: "I think I have no shame in my heart, and for the rest, I can only do my best and let each of us live in peace." His heart skipped a beat, can he really be ashamed?After all, this life has lost two people...

Chu Xiang cupped his hands and said to Di Feng: "Brother, please go to Fuling, and say that he is deeply affectionate and righteous, but forgive me for not accepting it. I just hope that he will not think of me, and cherish himself. If there is an afterlife, I will try to repay you." After saying that, he rubbed the letter paper and the envelope in his palm, raised his hands, and immediately shattered into thousands of pieces of paper, flying with the wind, facing the bloody setting sun, flying snow, and falling flowers on the river. Sprinkled on the jasper-like river water, after a few whirlpools, it disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

Chu Xiang saluted Di Feng again: "Senior brother, take care!" He turned back and boarded the boat.Knowing that he was determined, Di Feng had nothing to persuade him, so he could only watch him go.When the ferry left the shore when he was young, Di Feng stood on the bank of the river and saw Chu Xiang at the bow of the boat, dressed in white clothes over the snow, his hair was messed up by the river wind, but he remained motionless, his whole body was like a jade sculpture, only his eyes remained firm and firm .The ferry gradually drifted away, and finally disappeared in the twilight...

Di Feng stood by the river until it was completely dark, hesitant, thinking of Fu Ling's instructions, no matter what the situation, he must return to Shangjing first, and then make plans.Di Feng got on his horse listlessly, and walked slowly along the original road for a while, when he suddenly heard someone galloping ahead on horseback.Di Feng listened to the sound, the man was still about ten miles away, but his speed was extremely fast, and the sound of hooves was getting closer.Di Feng thought to himself, this horse might be even more handsome than the Dawan BMW he was riding, who is it?What's the hurry?Just as Di Feng was thinking, the sound of horseshoes had come to him. The man was dressed in black, with a long knife on his waist, and the horse he was sitting on was also as black as ink. Di Feng recognized that this horse was the "ink" used by Fu Ling. "Cloud", I saw it on the battlefield in Xiazhou, my heart trembled, and I rushed to meet him.

The man rushed off the horse and said, "Mr. Di, the villain is Pan Tao, the imperial bodyguard. Can you see General Chu? The emperor ordered me to come quickly, please hand over this letter to General Chu!" Handwritten letter, handed to Difeng with both hands.

Di Feng took a look at the letter, but the second letter was sealed with wax, and on the cover was written "From Chu Xiang".Di Feng knew that the letter must be an extremely important matter, so he shook his head sadly, and said, "I have met him just now, but Chu Xiang insisted on crossing the river with the Zhou Guo Mission, and he has already left."

The two of them rode their horses back to the river in the hope of being safe, but the river was pitch black, and there was no fishing fire, only the sound of the waves could be heard.Di Feng said, "I'll go and see if there is a ferry across the river."

Pan Tao dissuaded: "The emperor has ordered that if you have crossed the river and entered the territory of Zhou, you don't have to chase after him. Please come back to the capital immediately with me, sir. The emperor must have other arrangements." Di Feng thought about it, but there is no other Good strategy, then go back with Pan Tao.

Let's talk about Chu Xiang boarding the boat, Chu Xu asked him what happened, Chu Xiang didn't want him to know about his relationship with Fu Ling, so he only covered it up vaguely.Thinking of what Fu Ling said in the letter, "The middle school has undergone changes, and the net has been completed", he asked Chu Xu, "Did your elder brother An Lan say anything to you before you came?"

Chu Xu said: "He only said that he must pick you up, if he knew your return date, he would meet you by the riverside, but it's so late today, he might not get the news, he probably will see him tomorrow. "

The party crossed the Yangtze River and entered Jinling City by the river. It was getting late at this time. Although Jinling was facing the front line of the Yangtze River, the dancing pavilions and singing stages were noisy, the lights were feasting, and the scene of prosperity and peace was the same as before.
