Twilight Cloud Returns

"Sorry, I'm late..."

Yun Chuxiu hugged the bony Wuqing tightly, and he has lost a lot of weight these days, even through the clothes, the protruding bones can hurt his hands.

Wuqing nestled between his broad arms.He never thought of blaming Zhi for not returning in time, but when he saw him, in front of the closest people, he let out all the fear and fear in the past few days.

Wuqing was sobbing, under the cover of the night, there was a hint of coquettishness in the wronged and innocent eyes, he moaned timidly like a timid cat: "You can't leave me for so long anymore..."

As soon as Yun Chuxiu heard Wuqing's voice, her heart immediately turned into a clear lake.

He bowed his head and confessed softly: "If I leave you alone again, I will be fined to spend the rest of my life with Fatty..."

Wuqing was suddenly amused by him, pouted and muttered: "Fatty doesn't want to spend the rest of my life with you..."

The people brought by Yun Chuxiu didn't know where to turn their eyeballs at this moment, but luckily when it was almost midnight, it was pitch black and they couldn't see anything.

I don't know who sneezed, Wuqing instantly realized that there were other people in the wing, and was extremely embarrassed, and hid behind Zhihuan and refused to see anyone.

At this time, one of them reported outside: "Young master, Su He was kidnapped by assassins."

The Royal Court of Guyong City.

Hai's right wrist was wrapped with a white cloth strip, and under the effect of externally applied hemostatic medicine, the oozing blood gradually decreased.He and the remaining three men escorted Su Heyue to Mo Chun's royal court.

Su Heyue walked on the long corridor, the gold bricks and green tiles here have not changed a bit, it is exactly the same as before she fled.Even when she was a child, she secretly painted a pair of embroidered shoes for the barefoot married woman in the mural, but she still hasn't been discovered.

But, even if she painted shoes and socks for the mural girl, she would not escape.

At the end of the corridor is Mo Chun's palace, and the sound of orchestral strings and bamboos can be heard endlessly from inside.

Su and Yue could hear clearly that it was not the huqin and yatoke on the grassland, but the pipa common in the Central Plains.

She thought that Lord Yafu is from the Central Plains, and he always likes the pipa the most.As for Mo Chun, he single-handedly supported the superior, so he naturally liked pipa through his ears and eyes.

Finally standing in front of the palace gate, Hay respectfully pushed open the resplendent gate with his left hand, and bowed reverently to Mo Chun who was sitting on a high seat with his eyes closed and enjoying the music.

The maid carefully reminded Mo Chun: "Shanyu, General Hayi is here."

Mo Chun opened his eyes, and a hostile look swept over Ha Yi instantly.

Hai trembled all over, and his injured right hand swayed involuntarily.

"Shan Yu, this subordinate brought... Yue Juci back... another Han... the Han escaped... escaped..."

With a big wave of Mo Chun's hand, the sensible musician immediately stopped, got up and bowed, and stepped aside.

As he walked down the stairs, Hay was more nervous than when he was fighting for the grassland warriors, and at the same time, he also added a touch of fear of death.

Mo Chun's golden boots appeared in front of Ha Yi's downcast eyes, and the bean-sized sweat on the latter's forehead fell on the red carpet.

Hai Yi thought that he would be given death by Shan Yu today, but Mo Chun spared him and ordered him to go back to recuperate.

Hay gave the prairie salute gratefully, and then withdrew from the royal court.

After dealing with him, it was Su and Yue's turn.

Now that the matter has come to an end, she raised her proud head and said, "Please reward me with a quick death."

But Mo Chun shook his head meaningfully, "If you are killed, many mysteries will not be solved. For example... why did Yafu send his people to save you even if he did not hesitate to tear his hypocritical face..."

Su Heyue asked herself that she didn't have a deep friendship with Master Yafu in her life, and she didn't understand the mystery.

Mo Chun raised his eyebrows, adding a touch of evil to his handsome face.

"Before you arrive at Guyong City, Gu really wants you to die, a traitor like you, and even more so the Han who ruined Gu's career." Changing the subject, Mo Chun said calmly, "Gu just didn't expect that. , A small action, actually touched Yafu's heart, and General Zhenyuan also sneaked into Guyong City secretly. Do you think things are getting more and more interesting?"

Mo Chun's words made Su Heyue's back suddenly crawl with a gloomy chill - because in order to save A Yao, she might innocently ruin the lives of General Tong Qing.

One is love, the other is righteousness.

Su and Yue were struggling in their hearts.

Mo Chun liked the pained expression on Su Heyue's face very much.

He opened his mouth to say the next sentence, and even stabbed Su and Yue Xin, "Yue Juci, turn around and look at the relatives you miss day and night."

She turned around dully, only then did she see that the musicians holding the pipa in their arms and half covering their faces with light veils were her younger sisters Su and Cha'er.

"Cha'er!" Su Heyue excitedly wanted to hug the person she cared about most on the grassland, but Su and Cha'er kept away calmly.

Su Heyue's hands fell from mid-air in embarrassment, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, and said with a smile: "Cha'er has grown up... When Sister left, Cha'er was in the age of cardamom, and now she has grown into a beautiful girl. Ting girl."

Mo Chun was very satisfied with Su and Cha'er's reaction, "I will leave this place for you two sisters to reminisce about the old days. Especially Yue Juci, you should thank Cha'er well, and thank her for contributing to Da'er on your behalf. Zhou Tianzi..."

Su Heyue's body trembled suddenly, how could she forget it?How can we forget the defeat of the Huns, and sacrifice the saints Su and Chaer to repair the friendship between the two countries...

On the opposite side, Su and Cha'er used the newly-learned Zhou etiquette to pay respects to Mo Chun Yingying, and said in a gentle and cold voice, "Congratulations to Shan Yu."

The rest of the musicians withdrew from the royal court knowingly, and there were only two people left in the huge palace.

Su Heyue grabbed Cha'er's hand, "Cha'er, I..."

"Sister, you don't need to feel indebted." Su and Cha'er were as indifferent as before, sat back to their original positions and picked up the pipa, plucking the strings with jade-like fingers, and the sad and desolate tune echoed in the royal court.

Su Heyue knew this song, it was called "Ode to Evening Photo".

Wanzhao is a great woman on the grassland, and her family name is no longer available.She is the barefoot married woman in the cloister mural, married to the most powerful tribe at that time.

Before the Yi people ruled the entire grassland and established the Xiongnu Dynasty, the overlord of the grassland was always the leader of the Bei people.

In order to temporarily protect the peace of the tribe, the leader of the Yi tribe specially presented a cute evening photo.

Rumor has it that as soon as the will of marriage and marriage came from the leader, Wan Zhao volunteered to sign up to be a marriage daughter.When the relatives and nobles of the Yi nationality heard that a woman voluntarily went there, thus avoiding the pain of their daughter's reconciliation, they all praised Wanzhao's righteous behavior, and specially ordered a musician to compose a song "Ode to Wanzhao" to sing of her virtue.

The whole tune of "Ode to Evening Photos" is cheerful and melodious, and against the backdrop of Yatok's clear voice, it is even more like the crisp cry of an oriole bird in a mountain stream.When Su and Chu Yue listened to it, they snorted. They were so happy, were they praising the late photos, or were they just glad that their daughter stayed by their side?

However, under the pipa played by Su and Chaer, the sadness and sadness are quite different from the original intention of the song creation at that time.

Su Heyue understood that she was complaining...

"Chaer..." She opened her mouth cautiously, but was covered by the loud sound of the pipa.

At the end of the song, Su and Cha'er looked back and asked, "Sister, how well did Cha'er play this piece?"

"Okay..." Su Heyue didn't know what she meant by this question, but they still answered truthfully, with trembling unconsciously at the end.

Su and Cha'er put down their beloved phoenix-neck pipa and stood up leisurely, without any warmth in their tone: "Sister is unwilling to accept Shan Yu's arrangement, so she has become No. 1 in the grassland, and dares to escape from Guyong City privately. But Sister has left, there will always be someone to fill your vacancy..."

The more indifferent she was, the more heartbroken Su Heyue was - she just wanted to break out of this prison, and she didn't think of implicating other people...

"Cha'er, listen to Sister's explanation...Sister can explain..." Su Heyue held her hand, and Su and Cha'er clearly felt the shame bursting out of her heart.

"But Sister, do you believe me? Believe me, if I don't escape, I can turn things around by myself?"

Only when she said this did she have a gentle smile that matched her age.

Su Heyue thought she was confused, so they dared not speak for a while.

"Sister doesn't seem to believe it." Su and Cha'er smiled, "It's okay."

She picked up the pipa and was about to leave, but when she reached the door, she stopped suddenly.Although the voice was still so ruthless, it was obviously much softer.

Su and Cha'er said politely: "Sister, live well, don't let your thoughts go to waste, don't let everything go back to the original point."

Yun Chuxiu and his party came to their foothold in Guyong City.

Yunying returned disappointed, cupped her hands and said, "Young master, my subordinates are incompetent and failed to catch up."

Yun Chuxiu was not surprised by this ending, "Even if you catch that person, he will definitely not confess the master behind him."

Wuqing looked at Zhihuan's men, they were all wearing navy blue clothes like Yunying, and they all had unfamiliar faces, which he had never seen before, and one of them had a similar facial expression to Yunying.

He glanced around, but did not find Vice General Liu and Wei Zuoling.

Aren't these people from the army?

With doubts in his heart, Wuqing looked to Zhihuan.

Yun Chuxiu screened everyone back, and the two looked at each other in the hall.

He saw through Wuqing's thoughts at a glance, pinched the bridge of his nose and replied: "You are in a special situation this time. Taking away the people in the army will attract attention, and when I leave Liangzhou City, I don't feel at ease if there is no one in charge." , so Liu Yi and Wei Guoan were left behind."

No matter what you know or say, Wuqing always believes unconditionally.

He burrowed into Zhi Huan's arms like a lazy cat, and said casually: "With you here, I feel at ease, and I'm not afraid of anything..."

Xu Shi was exhausted physically and mentally for the past few days, and Wuqing soon fell asleep in Zhihuan's arms.

Yun Chuxiu carefully placed him on the bed.

Looking at his peerless face sleeping peacefully, Yun Chuxiu frowned slightly, a sense of guilt welled up in her heart.

He has known Wuqing's whereabouts in Guyong City for a long time, and has been hiding in the dark waiting for the opportunity and collecting information.If he knew the truth, would he blame himself for not being able to act earlier, which made him tremble for many days?

Just when he was feeling sad, Yun Ying knocked lightly on the door, "Young Master, there is a messenger outside, who claims to be Yafu, who came to see him."
