Broken Iron Clothes

======================

In November of the fifth year of Changning, Liu Zhaoyu moved to Shangxiyuan, and the new emperor ascended the throne, which was changed to the first year of Xihe in the next year.In the same month, the Xijing military camp was reorganized, Wu Xiao was named general, and Yang Ziming was promoted to deputy general to guard the Shengzhou camp.Yemenzhuang was reorganized into a dark guard, and Zhongqiu took over the position of leader.

The wind and rain fell temporarily in the city, and it was night. At the palace banquet, the guests were cheering and laughing, and the noise in the palace was ups and downs.

Yang Ziming belched full of alcohol, and looked up at the full moon, feeling happy: "General, does that moon look like the sun?"

A few days later, the two of them will go to Shengzhou to take up their posts. Half of the soldiers under him are the returned Weiming Army.Wu Xiao looked at that month, and still remembered that when he was full of enthusiasm, he ran out of the state camp and led a group of brothers straight to the east. The sun was hanging like this, but it was much brighter than this. Fortunately, he lived up to expectations. Heading in that direction, it was justifiable to return here.

"That's the month of Dali," Wu Xiao said, "Naruko, we're already home."

Yang Ziming only asked again drunk: "General, do you think that moon looks like the sun?"

Like.

It looks like the sun in Yuzhou, but it's not that similar.Thinking about it, Ji Dong raised his head in the court for a long while, but what he was thinking about was the package that Lin Song had just sent.

Lin Song said: "Someone asked me to deliver this burden to the girl. He said that half of the money in it was left for General Lu, and the other half was for Miss Ji's dowry. I hope the girl will not push back."

Ji Dong laughed sadly, she didn't know that Zhang Ling's joke with her was serious from the beginning.It was very cold in winter, she shivered against the wind, and a cloak gathered behind her.

"Put it on, don't get cold." He Xiao walked to his side, intentionally getting closer to her, "Will you follow me...will you follow me to Yuzhou?"

"What?" Ji Dong finally came back to his senses.

"I want to say that Yuzhou is very cold in winter. If there is a war, I may not be in the tent often. I will get blood all over my body with a knife, and my face will turn pale from the pain. But even so, I want to take you there. Do you know what I'm talking about?" Before hearing Ji Dong's answer, He Xiao cleared his throat eagerly, "Miss Dong..."

Ji Dong laughed: "What did you call me?"

"I don't want to call you like others, but if you don't like it, I'll change it."

He Xiao looked very uncomfortable today, Ji Dong thought about it, and asked: "Is the little princess of the Wusen Department good-looking? I heard that she stayed in your barracks for a while."

He Xiao really thought about it: "It's different from the women in the Central Plains."

Ji Dong turned his head away and didn't look at him again: "That's pretty good."

It is true that he realized that he had said something wrong, but He Xiao was at a loss at this time. From the corner of his eye, he shyly glanced at Yuan Mucheng and Gu Nanxing who were hidden not far away, but hurriedly put the hand on Ji Dong's shoulder behind his back.

When Yuan Mucheng came back from the palace banquet, his body was still covered with wind and cold, and he still smelled of alcohol. Seeing this, the alcohol almost burned his brows.

"This kid is stupid, what you teach doesn't work," Gu Nanxing said in a low voice, and walked out, "I, my father-in-law, have to come after my girl. It's really annoying."

The figure circled behind Ji Dong and only bumped into her shoulder, making the two bodies get closer again.Gu Nanxing stood beside Ji Dong with his arms folded, and said leisurely: "Didn't you say that you missed my family Ji Dong so much? He said that he was cute, and he was reluctant to let other men look at him more..."

"Master!" Ji Dong's ears turned red.

Gu Nanxing said with a smile: "These words are a bit off-putting when others say them, right, Brother Xiao?"

He Xiao was preparing to speak, and put another arm on his shoulder.

"I think the spring day in Yuzhou is pleasant, and it is suitable to choose an auspicious day for the wedding. In this way, it is best to prepare everything that needs to be prepared before the end of the year." Yuan Mucheng patted him on the shoulder, " He Xiao, you can't just talk to my brothers about the marriage proposal, it has to be done with the nod of Miss Ji Dong, hurry up."

The unspoken words have been clarified, and Gu Nanxing raised his hand to cover his right eye in good time: "Hiss, my eyes hurt."

Yuan Mucheng understood: "I forgot to apply the medicine today, let's go, I will help you."

The shoulder was pushed again, He Xiao took advantage of the situation and raised his hand to hug Ji Dong.There was still a bit of shyness in the quiet atmosphere, the two were silent together, and then said together: "You..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and He Xiao finally said, "Ji Dong, are you willing to follow me? I mean the one who will marry me as his wife."

Ji Dong said: "I'm not a lady of every family."

"I'm not from a famous family either." He Xiao turned to face her, closed his arms and hugged her into his arms, "These are not important, I may be seriously injured and fight for a long time, but I am willing Good for you, as long as you don't think Yuzhou is too bitter, and you don't think I'm just a lieutenant general..."

A wet kiss landed on the cheek, He Xiao was stunned, only knowing that Ji Dong was leaning on his chest.They've never been this close.

After the secret guard team was disbanded according to Liu Zhaoyu's wishes, the salary and the original savings at hand were combined, which was not a small amount. Yi Qinchen was reconciling accounts in the room, and his abacus was ringing loudly.

With a few swipes of his fingertips, the beads stopped, and Yi Qinchen wrote down the pen, but he heard the branches and leaves moving lightly outside the window.

Yu Guang quickly crossed the window sill and swept down the corridor. He paused for a while, then dipped his ink indifferently to continue writing, and only asked somewhere: "Recently, the new team of dark guards is still busy?"

Lin Song walked out from the shadow of the night, jumped onto the window sill, and sat with one leg up to look at him: "I heard that you are going back to Crane Valley with Brother Nanxing."

Yi Qinchen chuckled: "The cherry tree in Huimei Courtyard will be moved to Crane Valley before the severe winter, and Ji Dong's marriage is about to be finalized, so we have to go back and buy her a dowry. Brother Xing has some savings on hand and wants to open a tavern in Mengzhou to make a living, and when you come later, I can waive the drink fee for you."

Lin Song said, "I won't drink anymore."

Yi Qinchen raised his eyes and glanced at him: "That's pretty good, since you have decided to stay in the dark guard team, there are some rules that you have to follow. Your wrist has suffered a lot of damage, so take care of it in the future. "

The tip of the pen filled with ink suddenly paused on the paper, and Yi Qinchen suddenly realized that there was a cloth belt tied around the man's wrist.

"Qinchen," Lin Song's voice whispered in his ear alone, "Thank you."

The ink seeps from the paper, leaving a little mark.The cloth belt... Yi Qinchen's Adam's apple rolled unknowingly, it was the cloth belt he used to blindfold his eyes.

He wanted to confirm it again, but when he looked towards the window again, it was as empty as before.The cold wind blew away all the traces, Yi Qinchen lightly put down the pen in his hand, probably knowing that Lin Song would never see him again.

-

As the door was slightly opened and the candlelight was blown by the wind, Yuan Mucheng touched the bed before he could change his clothes.The room was still quiet, with only a little candlelight shining on the window sill, Jiang Shiqing only put on a cloak, and was leaning on the couch in a light sleep, the rosary in his hand pressed out of his palm.Yuan Mucheng stretched his fingers through the rosary, and was about to hook out the string of beads first, but Jiang Shiqing was startled and tightened his fingers, his sleepy eyes were still full of horror.

Yuan Mucheng knew that that person had become restless recently.

"Woke you up." Yuan Mucheng stroked his cheek and sat on the side of the couch.

Jiang Shiqing pillowed on his lap, feeling the temperature, and her heart gradually calmed down.

"I haven't seen you for almost a day." Jiang Shiqing said.

Yuan Mucheng gently rubbed the center of his brows with his fingertips, and coaxed: "The palace banquet has been held for a long time today, Brother Lu drank too much, after sending him back, I went to He Xiao's place to have a look, delay some time, let you wait for a long time gone."

"General Lu will be on duty tomorrow, so you don't know how to persuade him."

Since the day Liu Zhaoyu abdicated, Lu Tianrui has been silent for a long time. He listened to other people's words, that day he was plotted against by the dead man of the Yan family, and he burned his bow angrily after killing the thief on the tower, but he was the only one who knew that the bow had no meaning at all. .

"He's in a bad mood, let him vent it for a while." Yuan Mucheng said, putting Jiang Shiqing's loose hair behind his ears, brushing his fingertips over the blush on the pinnae, he couldn't help but stop there moment.

Except for the sound of hair brushing against his ears, everything was quiet, and Jiang Shiqing thought of many people in the silence.

"Today is fifteen." He said suddenly, but his eyes were fixed on the ground for a long time.

"Well," Yuan Mucheng responded, "Would you like to take a look?"

The clouds are light, and the moon hangs high and clear in the night. After watching for a long time, the faint yellow halo will spread further.The two sat on the steps and looked up. Yuan Mucheng hugged Jiang Shiqing behind him, and the cloak on his body wrapped them together.

"The days go by so quickly," Yuan Mucheng said.

"Yeah," Jiang Shiqing leaned back and lay in his arms, "days go by quickly."

The four words "time has passed and circumstances have changed" are reflected in everyone, almost everyone.

Yuan Mucheng said: "I heard that the transfer order will be approved next month. After a year, brother Lu will be transferred to the Yuzhou camp. It's Kaisen. I really didn't expect him to be determined to become an official."

Jiang Shiqing said: "They are willing, but they are involuntary. Once they succeed, their bones will be wiped out. Now that the country is protected, how many people are truly consummated?"

They are all losing.

Jiang Shiqing raised his hand to touch the back of Yuan Mucheng's head, and pressed him to lean against him.This is the only person he clings to in the torrent of time.

"Xiao'an, we are going to Yuzhou." Jiang Shiqing said lightly, he thought about staying, but Jiang Yu would be burdened by it, so he could only pretend that he didn't know anything, pretended that he didn't know Jiang Yu suffered from tuberculosis instead of typhoid, and pretended to be happy that he was going to Yuzhou.

"It's very cold there, you have to nest next to me all day long." Yuan Mucheng pressed his forehead even tighter.

Smelling the cold smell in the wind, Jiang Shiqing closed his eyes: "I want to see a heavy snowfall."

"I'll watch it with you." Yuan Mucheng hugged him.

Jiang Shiqing added: "I want to be hungover in the cold."

Yuan Mucheng replied, "I'll warm the wine for you."

"I want to chase the wind and chase the sun, so I have to run fast."

"I'll hold you, carry you, and carry you," Yuan Mucheng said, "I will take you and run very fast."

Jiang Shiqing stated as if asking a question: "You will always be here."

Yuan Mucheng replied: "I will always be here."

Stretching out his hand from Simmering Nuan's arms, Jiang Shiqing pressed his palm to Yuan Mucheng's jawbone, stroked the man's ears and temples: "Xiao'an, you have given me a lot, especially a lot."

Yuan Mucheng pinched his chin and turned his face: "A lot of what?"

"Relief, love, miss... everything, but I am often afraid." The moment they looked at each other, his eyes became hot, and Jiang Shiqing looked at him without avoiding, revealing the powerlessness of facing life and death parting. In front of him.

He has lost too many people, so he can't help but be afraid when he owns it, but he doesn't know what he did wrong, so he has been suffering from this curse in this life, from Weixu Palace to Xuguo, and now it is Jiang Yu, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"I can give you more," Yuan Mucheng raised his finger to caress the reddish eyes at the corners of his eyes, "I can replace these handkerchiefs, rosary beads, and cloaks to help you wipe your tears, meditate, and warm your body. Huai Chuan is in my arms for the rest of my life. Don’t be afraid of nightmares, and don’t worry about life and death. I promise you, you won’t be the one left alone in this world. When we reach our octogenarian age, I will always work harder than you Live one day, and I will die for you and share your coffin with you, as long as you wait for me, we will be together again."

Jiang Shiqing closed his eyes again and leaned closer. Yuan Mucheng was the only warm place beside him. When he got close, he would feel warm.

Yuan Mucheng said: "Huaichuan, if you don't want to face many things, just turn around and I will be here."

The wind couldn't blow through the gap between them, Yuan Mucheng wrapped him tightly, and Jiang Shiqing said it again in this kind of comfort: "I'm going to Yuzhou with you."

"Yes, we are going to worship Gaotang." Yuan Mucheng couldn't help wrapping his hands around his waist to measure the size.He hadn't seen Jiang Shiqing wear red yet, if he wore eye-catching red in the grass or in the white, that person would definitely be the best-looking one in ten thousand.

Yuan Mucheng laughed out loud.

"What are you thinking?" Jiang Shiqing asked him.

Yuan Mucheng let out a sigh of relief, and said: "When brother Lu arrives in the north, someone will take over the Yuzhou camp, but the old man and brother are still there, and the Yuan family is still there. I may not be able to withdraw from the barracks too soon. It may take a while." Years, two years, or even longer, but even so, I want to keep you by my side, will you blame me?"

Jiang Shiqing turned to look at him: "It doesn't matter if you stay for a few years, we still have a long future, enough to travel all over the world."

They have a long future.Yuan Mucheng meditated, raised the man's chin, and kissed him softly and long.

When separated again, his fingertips wiped the corners of his lips for a moment, Yuan Mucheng smiled lowly and said, "The lips are freezing cold."

Jiang Shiqing also laughed: "Then what should we do?"

They looked at each other with a smile, and then clinged to each other again, and the soft lips gradually burned with warmth.The hand on his chest crumpled his shirt, and Jiang Shiqing panted and stepped back, looking at him.

"It's hot like this." Yuan Mucheng's lips turned red, and he hugged him tightly again.

The moon was still bright, and Jiang Shiqing looked at the night sky, as if he saw a vast world: "Xiao'an, tell me about Yuzhou, from moonset to sunrise, I want to hear it."

Yuan Mucheng said softly: "Yuzhou..."

The moon in Yuzhou enjoys a piece of sky all by itself. When the morning light comes, it will withdraw from the long night. At that time, a warm light will shine in the east. The light can penetrate the clouds and pull out a red orange sun, which rises slowly from the sky. Glory filled the earth.

The horses running from the south stepped out of the flying dust, and Jiang Shiqing followed behind Yuan Mucheng, chasing the figure and riding the horses against the wind.On the ninth day after leaving Jaecheng, they ran into the Liaoye before sunset. The shadow of the sun in the west outlined several outlines on the hillside. forward.

Yuan Haoxun stood on the slope, overlooking the figure who dismounted and walked quickly, but he still greeted people with a solemn face, and only covered his arm with his palm when the person came, and had a firm confrontation with him , This is the only intimacy between their father and son. After that, Yuan Mucheng will stand back two steps, his hands and feet are bound, and he will not go forward again.

In the past, they only depended on Yuan Muqing, and before that, it was Wen Yu, but now, Yuan Haoxun's awe-inspiring aura will definitely suppress Yuan Mucheng's usual leisurely and uninhibited.

Yuan Mucheng is still more like Wen Yu.

It was only when Jiang Shiqing watched from a distance on horseback that he truly felt that the land under his feet was the cage that trapped Yuan Mucheng, and it was also the place where he lived for nine years.

Yuan Mucheng came back, and at the same time tried every means to escape.
