Thousand-character silk
Chapter 65
Opening the brocade box, he handed it to Wu Ya unwillingly.
The Commander of the Army rises slowly from the brocade box, hangs in the air, exuding a blue halo all over his body.
"Your Majesty did not disappoint." Wu Ya said.
Rong Xuan looked at him, his breathing became more and more rapid, the hand behind his back finally counted to the last knuckles, he suddenly shot towards the commander of the army, but he took it back empty-handed.
Rong Xuan looked towards the direction of the canyon with a pale face, the canyon was dead silent, there was no sound at all.
He looked at Wu Ya in astonishment, seeing the smile gradually rising on his lips, his heart suddenly turned cold.
"What is Xuan'er waiting for?" Wu Ya said softly, the frost in his eyes turned into a pool of spring water, so gentle that people would drown in it, holding the Commander's Command in one hand, and pulled Rong Xuan closer with the other.
"His Majesty!"
Liuqian and the others behind him also expressed uneasiness.
"Oh...Xuan'er is waiting for the crackling sound of fire and thunder in the valley?" Wu Ya pretended to be stunned and asked, with a handsome and evil smile, "It's a pity, I'm afraid you won't hear it."
The author has something to say:
☆, farewell
My lord is still held in Wu Ya's hands, Bai Qi and Lin Louzhi dare not approach easily.With disgust and astonishment on Rong Xuan's face, he looked at Wu Ya with a complicated expression and tried hard to break free, but with a slight movement, his wrist would feel a tearing pain, forcing him to turn his head away and not look at Wu Ya. The heavy oppression made Rong Xuan feel uncomfortable.
"You think that a general from the Yong'an Army escaped, and I wouldn't know? You think you buried thunder in the valley at night, and I wouldn't know?" Wu Ya leaned closer to his ear, and said softly, "For something as delicate as Tianlei, I only need to cut off one of the threads, and the whole thing will be scrapped."
He knows everything, Rong Xuan bit his lips and thought, in this way, everything I did would become a well-planned joke in front of his eyes?
"If I can't bear to wait until now, how can I win the commander's order, and how can I see you?" Wu Ya gently bit Rong Xuan's ear, people in the distance couldn't see their actions clearly, so such a small The provocation became more and more unbridled, "I said a long time ago, you just need to stay behind me at ease, why didn't you listen to me?"
"Master's Order," Rong Xuan gritted his teeth and sneered, "It was exchanged for the flesh and blood of a thousand soldiers from our Rong Kingdom, you..."
"Don't forget, there is still Xue Yi's Yuqu Xin here." Wu Ya said.
Rong Xuan sneered, "You killed him..."
Wu Ya frowned and said coldly: "I have never forced him."
Tianlei's clues were cut off, so Rong Min might have been transferred to other places long ago, what happened to Leng Bai?Was he captured, or did he find something wrong and went back to the barracks?What happened to Rongmin, dead or alive?If Jing Jun had discovered the passage of the canyon, would he have already led his troops into the barracks?The more I think about it, the more confused I feel, but right now I am still under the control of others.All the anxieties are intertwined, like an unreasonable twine, getting bigger and bigger.Rong Xuan pursed his lips and moved his shoulders, asking Wu Ya to let him go.
"The commander of the army gave you the order, let me go."
Wu Ya increased the strength in his hand: "Want to leave? I won't allow it."
"You!" Rong Xuan was furious, "You promised to release Rong Min when you got the order from the commander of the army. Now I can't see my sister, and I will be detained by you. How can you not keep your promise!"
Wu Ya sneered and said, "I didn't keep my promise? Who was it that sent people to the camp to find out when I knew I would let Rong Min go? And who wanted to have both fish and bear's paw, secretly planting fire mines in the valley ?”
"Let me go!"
"Don't let go." Wu Ya said, "Since it's Xuan'er who doesn't make sense first, then I will naturally act according to what I like."
Wu Ya said, and took Rong Xuan to the barracks.
"Where are you taking me?!" Rong Xuan shouted while struggling.
Wu Ya glanced at Rong Xuan and said, "I've always thought that people who fantasize about having it both ways are too greedy. But seeing you, Xuan'er, I have no choice but to become greedy."
"Jing Wuya, you are so despicable!"
Wu Ya turned pale, pursed his lips and said, "Even if I become the most despicable person in the world, I don't care!"
"You let me go!"
The two were tugging, and Bai Qi had already drawn the bowstring, just waiting for the moment when Rong Xuan and Wu Ya separated so that Jing Wuya could be killed with an arrow.
"Boom—"
Suddenly there was a sound of thunder in the sky, and everyone followed the sound, and it seemed that the sound of thunder was continuous, coming quickly and violently.The huge vibration made everyone feel unstable under their feet.
Rong Xuan looked at the place where the thunder was coming from, he was startled, and unconsciously looked back at Wu Ya, only to find that Wu Ya also had a strange expression on his face.
"How come..." Wu Ya said softly.
Rong Xuan took the opportunity to spread his arms around, and broke free from Wu Ya's arms, trying to bypass Wu Ya and run back to Bai Qi and the others.Wu Ya reacted immediately, and was about to stop Rong Xuan, but suddenly found him staggering and fell back into his arms.
Rong Xuan looked at him with horror on his face, he frowned, his face gradually turned pale, even the blood on his lips lost color, his feet gave way and he fell down.
"Xuan'er?" Wu Ya panicked, just as he supported his back, he found a dagger stuck behind his back at some point.
Looking up, Yin Shisan, who was dressed in black, was looking at him coldly, and gently lowered his hand.
Wu Ya looked at Yin Hong's blood in his palm in disbelief, his face turned pale, and he hugged Rong Xuan tightly in a panic.
"...Xuan'er...Xuan'er?! No...don't..."
Rong Xuan only felt the severe pain in his back, which made him unable to speak.
"Xuan'er? Xuan'er...Look at me, I'll take you back to the barracks...Don't be in trouble, please don't be in trouble..."
why is he cryingRong Xuan thought to himself, is he still worthy of his tears?Think about it, too, the plaything that is almost in hand may die suddenly, and I will feel bad if I change it.
Rong Xuan saw that his brows tightened suddenly, and the dark blue clothes on his chest were suddenly dyed with some unknown color.He seemed to hear hurried footsteps, and Lin Louzhi suddenly appeared behind Wu Ya, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he slapped him on the back of the neck, making him let go, and then Lin Louzhi ran away to hand over him land.Yin Shisan also rushed over, wanted to chase Rong Xuan back but gave up, returned to Wu Ya who had been hit by Bai Qi's arrow, and helped him back to the camp.
Liuqian rode his horse and galloped all the way, rushing back to the camp at half the speed since then.After hearing the news, Guijue rushed over anxiously, seeing that Rong Xuan was seriously injured, he hurriedly asked people to prepare medicine and gauze.He cut a piece of ginseng for Rong Xuan to swallow, Rong Xuan was already unconscious due to the pain, Guijue had no choice but to call him loudly until he heard his response.
"Your Majesty, don't fall asleep, Weiche will take off the dagger for you."
Rong Xuan vaguely heard Guijue's question, and answered in a daze, and then suddenly felt the sharp weapon on his back was pulled away, and all his strength seemed to escape from the wound. The warmth overflowed, and my mind suddenly became blurred.
"Your Majesty! Wake up," Gui Jue called softly, "Your Majesty, don't fall asleep, Your Majesty!"
Rong Xuan tried his best to open his eyes, and saw everyone gathered around the bed looking at him.
Seeing him wake up, Guijue let out a long sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty has taken soul-gathering powder, so the bleeding is less than ordinary people. Although the dagger stabbed deeply, fortunately it did not pierce the chest, so there will be no serious problems." Gui Jue said, "Your Majesty must rest for two days. Get up and move around, or the wound will burst open."
Rong Xuan closed his eyes and frowned, then asked, "Where's Leng Bai?"
"Brother Xuan, I'm here."
Leng Bai walked up to the crowd, seeing that he didn't seem to be seriously injured, Rong Xuan felt a little relieved.
Seeing that Rong Xuan gave him a shallow smile, Leng Bai said guiltily, "Leng Bai was negligent. He didn't expect that Huolei's clues would be cut by Jing Jun. He was chased by Jing Jun as soon as he entered the valley, and almost caused a big disaster. Misfortune. Leng Bai was willing to die to apologize for not being able to bring back the Princess."
Rong Xuan said with difficulty: "That's all...just as long as you are safe."
It's just Rong Min... I'm afraid I won't see her again.
"But later, didn't Huo Lei explode?" Lin Louzhi asked strangely.
Leng Bai was stunned for a moment, and after the attack was blocked, he immediately led people back to the barracks to report, and asked Bei Helian to prepare early in case the Jing army came from the mountain road to attack.The military camp was far away from the valley, so the explosion of fire and thunder was not heard.
Liu Qiang said: "That's right, General Bai Qi and I have also heard it, the thunder that shook the sky came from the valley, it is absolutely unmistakable."
Leng Bai shook his head, expressing that he did not know.
With the power of the fire and thunder, the valley is estimated to have been blown up and buried. Without this valley, the possibility of Jing Jun chasing from this road is reduced to zero. In this way, you can feel at ease. point.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Outside the tent, soldiers shouted loudly and rushed to the front of the tent, but were stopped by the guards in front of the tent.
"Your Majesty just woke up from a serious injury, what are you trying to do?"
The officer couldn't hide his anxiety: "You let me in, I have something important to report."
Rong Xuan waved his hand, Liuqian understood, walked to the tent and asked:
"What's the matter, come in and talk."
The soldier stumbled into the tent and knelt down in front of Rong Xuan's bed with a plop.
"Your Majesty! Princess Min is back!"
"what?!"
Rong Xuan sat up suddenly, and everyone looked at each other in surprise.
"Liuqian! Quickly help me up!" Rong Xuan struggled and was about to get off the ground, but was quickly supported by Liuqian who rushed over.
He was busy putting on boots when he heard someone outside the tent whisper:
"Your Majesty is here, princess please."
The curtain was lifted, and Rong Min walked in, dressed in the attire of a woman from Jingguo, walking into the tent with a messy face.
Rong Xuan was so pleasantly surprised that he even forgot the pain on his back, hurriedly shook off Liu Qian, and staggered towards Rong Min.
"elder sister!"
Rong Xuan rushed over excitedly and hugged Rong Min tightly, tears streaming down his face.Rong Min's chest trembled, and he raised his hand to gently comfort Rong Xuan.
Finally redeemed the same, finally nothing is lost.
Rong Xuan wiped the tears from his face, moved away a little and looked at his sister carefully.His face seemed to be a little thinner, but his body seemed fine. It seemed that in Jing Junzhong, he had not been treated inhumanly, and even specially prepared women's clothes for her, Rong Xuan felt a little relieved.
"Congratulations to the princess for returning to the camp safely." Everyone said happily.
Rong Xuan asked: "How did my sister escape? Did my sister find out when I sent someone to investigate in the barracks that day?"
Rong Min looked at Rong Xuan without any smile on his face.
She stretched out her hand wordlessly, slowly spread out her palm, and handed it to Rong Xuan.
Rong Xuan glanced at his sister strangely, then looked down, and the smile disappeared immediately.
"Rong Xuan... until now, I don't believe you still don't understand..." Rong Min said with a trembling voice, with a look of hatred on his face.
Everyone in the tent looked at each other, not knowing what happened between the siblings, they only saw Rong Xuan brushing Rong Min's shoulder and running out in a daze, Liu Qian and Gui Jue hurriedly chased them out, Rong Min sat on the ground paralyzed, I couldn't stop shaking.
"Your Majesty! You are injured, come back quickly!" Liu Qian shouted from behind, but he couldn't catch up to the plain white Rong Xuan.
Rong Xuan ran all the way to Yingkou, leaning on the wooden pillars of the camp, gasping for breath, his face was terribly pale, he only stopped to rest for a while, then stumbled out again, not knowing where he was going, Liuqian hurriedly shouted : "Stop Your Majesty!"
The guards in Yingkou rushed forward to stop Rong Xuan, Rong Xuan didn't seem to have the strength to run anymore, he stood there blankly, his already thin figure looked thinner and thinner now.
He looked in the direction of the valley sadly, and said in a hoarse voice full of desolation:
"Yan Du------!!!!!!"
A burst of sweet and greasy blood welled up in his throat, and immediately a deep red dyed the sand around his feet, and the plain white clothes were dotted with mottled spots, which was shocking.Regardless of wiping off the blood on his lips, Rong Xuan's eyes darkened, and he sank into endless darkness, holding a plain silver flying swallow hairpin tightly in his palm.
***
"Minmin, when you see Rong Xuan, give this to him for me."
Yan Du took off the silver hairpin from the bun and handed it to Rong Min. Rong Min took the silver hairpin and said worriedly:
"What are you going to do?"
Yan Du smiled peacefully, got off the horse, Rong Min's heart sank, and he hurriedly returned the hairpin in his hand to Yan Du.
"If you want to give it to yourself, you go back with me."
The sound of horseshoes of the pursuers getting closer and closer, Yan Du tightly stuffed the Feiyan hairpin into Rong Min's hand.
"Yan Du, you go back with me, otherwise Rong Xuan will feel guilty for the rest of his life." Rong Min said urgently.
Yan Du smiled softly, but there was an unresolved bitterness between his brows.
"Then tell Rong Xuan for me that in the Rong Palace that year, the apricot blossoms never bloomed, Yan never came, and nothing happened."
The author has something to say: Yan Lang is going well all the way...
☆, Yandu
Ever since Rong Min entered Jingjun's camp, he hadn't seen Wu Ya again, as if he had forgotten that she existed.She was imprisoned in a camp, but the room was fully furnished, and even the swords that were common in military camps were not put away.Rong Min couldn't help thinking that perhaps Wu Ya took him away just to let Rong Xuan know that he had this bargaining chip in his hand, and he didn't care about the life or death of this bargaining chip at all.After all, if Rong Xuan really exchanged the commander's order at that time, Wu Ya would get the commander's order first and then release himself. Since he has the master's order, why should he care about the life and death of a bargaining chip.Rong Min is not afraid of death, nor does she want Rong Xuan to save her. To her, her own life is nothing compared to a thousand soldiers.What's more, if Xuan Yue hadn't ventured into the army that day, her soul would have already been sealed in the commander's order.It's just that with Wu Ya doing this, Rong Min no longer has the idea of sacrificing his life for righteousness.
Rong Min lay down on the bed in the tent, thinking about what happened in the past two days.In the military camp, they only knew Wu Ya and Yan Du.Wu Ya is the coach, so it's not surprising that he can't be seen, but Yin Shisan, the killer general beside him, often meets outside the tent. After talking for only three sentences, he will stop Rong Min with "no comment" At the end of the day, he ordered people to strictly guard him, and he was not allowed to go out.
In the middle of the night, the torches outside the tent gradually decreased, but many people could still be seen walking back and forth.Even without bare hands, it is impossible to rush out of the barracks alone.
"General Yan."
The guard at the entrance of the tent suddenly said respectfully, Rong Min listened carefully to the movement outside the tent holding his breath.
"My lord has something to bring to the princess." A familiar voice sounded, and Rong Min's heart skipped a beat.
"This..." The guard seemed a little embarrassed.
Yan Du said coldly: "Why, are you suspecting that this general will let her go without permission?"
"The last general doesn't dare." The guard said in fear, and then stepped aside, "General, please."
As soon as Yan Du became the battalion commander, Rong Min taunted him:
"Hey, why does Yan Shilang have to be suppressed by the status of a general when he sees a prisoner? It seems that you, the celebrity in front of Li Si, are not having a very easy life, right?"
Yan Du didn't get angry, but smiled lightly: "The princess is laughing."
Xinghua's appearance and a proper smile are like putting a glass of mellow poisonous wine in front of a thirsty person, seductive and deadly.
Yan Du loosened his eyebrows, and the expression on his face looked the same as that in the Rong Palace back then. In a trance, people thought that he hadn't changed a little in all these years.
With a sore nose, Rong Min turned around and turned his back on him, holding back tears and said:
"Yan Du, save yourself the effort, put away that hypocritical smile of yours, you..." You are the one who killed Second Brother Yan with your own hands, why can you smile so cleanly that people don't want to believe such a dirty thing? , is it from your hand?
Yan Du took off his saber and put it aside. After a long silence, he asked, "How are you going to escape?"
Rong Min turned around, looked at Yan Du in disbelief, and asked coldly, "Did Li Si send you here?"
Yan Du was taken aback and didn't answer.
Rong Min sneered and said: "Do you think you are still the Yandu whom I trusted with all my heart? If you ask me, you will say anything? Oh, I would like to know, what benefits did Li Si give you? help him like this?"
Yan Du paused and said: "He did, he gave me a lot of benefits, so good that I couldn't refuse."
Rong Min said contemptuously: "You mean, Li Ji?"
Yan is noncommittal.
"I really misjudged you and mistrusted you," Rong Min gritted his teeth and said decisively, "Second brother Yan... He said that blood is thicker than water, how could you do it, how could you bear it..."
"I didn't kill my second brother."
"Only you are missing in the snow!" Rong Min said angrily, "Who else could it be except you?!"
Seeing that Rong Min was shaking with excitement, Yan Du wanted to stretch out his hand to comfort him, but Rong Min sideways avoided him, so he had no choice but to withdraw his hand embarrassingly.
"After all, if a person sees it, he will have a reasonable explanation," Yan Du said softly, "I killed the accompanying soldiers because I wanted to let my second brother go."
Rong Min suddenly raised his head, blinked his eyes in confusion, and felt a little dizzy for a moment.
"What did you say?"
"You said that blood is thicker than water, so how could I do it."
"Then Second Brother Yan..." Rong Min asked in one sentence, seeing Shangyan's eyes of despair and pain, he felt a sudden knock in his heart, "Second Brother Yan...did he commit suicide?"
Yan Du closed his eyes, and the north wind was blowing in his ears again, as if everything had returned to that bone-chilling winter snow field.
Seeing Yan Xi's terrified and unbelievable eyes looking at himself, he asked, "What do you mean?"
"Second brother, let's go."
Yan Du, my long sword soaked in blood, urged me.
Yan Xi grabbed Yan Du who was about to leave and asked, "What's going on?"
Yan Du turned his face away and said softly: "Someone wants me to take your head."
Yan Xi paused: "Then you didn't kill me because I was your second brother, or...you..."
"Second brother, it's useless to talk," Yan Du interrupted, "When you returned to the camp, you said that you killed everyone and stabbed me when I was not prepared, and then escaped."
"Then what do you do!" Yan Xi stopped him, "You go back empty-handed, Li Si will never let you go."
"I have my own way."
"Third brother!"
The cold wind was piercing, and it made people's faces flushed, and they were almost unconscious from the cold. Warm tears flowed on their faces, like boiling water, burning their faces so painfully.
"Third brother, if you still have the surname Rong, you can use the second brother's head."
It was too late to stop him, his eyes had already pierced the sudden red in the snow white, and Yan Xi couldn't hear the second brother's cry.
At night, Yan Du stood alone at the entrance of the barracks, his throat was full of bitterness, he finally wanted to be weak for a while, wanted to let the tears fall, but was interrupted by the call of a person behind him.
"Why, reluctant?"
The person who came was wearing a silver iron mask, his icy blue eyes flickered behind the iron mask, and he smiled and handed over the fox fur cloak in his hand to Yan Du.
Yan Du frowned and took the cloak.
"He's my brother after all."
"As expected of General Yan, he will do what he says." The visitor said with a smile.
Yan Du gave him a sideways look, and said coldly: "Xue Yi, you really have a vicious mind."
Xue Yi took off Li Si's mask and giggled twice.
"Today, some spies said that near the camp, they found the whereabouts of Rong Min and others."
Yan Du's complexion changed, and he gritted his teeth: "Isn't this exactly what you want? Let them think that I killed Yan Xi, so that Rong Xuan's gambling nest will be completely disappointed?!"
Xue Yi stretched out his fingers and hooked Gou Yandu's face, and said with a sneer, "General Yan, you think too highly of yourself. I did this only to make Rong Xuan's life worse than death."
"what?!"
Xue Yi raised her eyebrows lightly, her icy blue eyes lit up slightly, and she smiled at Yan Du, so innocent and cute that she was somewhat similar to Rong Xuan when she was young.
"I'm just curious. If the young prince who thought you betrayed found out that you were dead, would he be happy, or would he shed even a single tear for you? Hmm?"
"I heard that it's beautiful to see a beautiful woman cry. Young Master likes to watch me cry when I'm on the bed," Xue Yi smiled, "Why don't I kill you and tell Rong Xuan everything? Hahaha, his back then His face must be very pretty."
Yan Du pursed his lips tightly.
"Then I'll torture him little by little until he dies under my feet little by little, how about it, Yan Shilang?"
Yan Du couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Xueyi by the collar and pressed him against the tree trunk, his eyes were red with anger.
"It was you who said you would keep Rong Xuan safe, so I stayed by Li Si's side!"
Xue Yi's throat was uncomfortably pinched, and he desperately pulled Yan Du's hand away with a haughty expression on his face.
"That's what you said...Young Master cough cough cough... I never said that Rong Xuan's life would be spared..."
"rat……"
"Even if I'm a villain, how can you get me? Hmph, let me tell you, I just want to watch Rong Xuan lose everything... let him gain nothing..."
"You!" Yan Du increased the strength in his hands, and Xue Yi's face contorted.
Xue Yi struggled, and kicked Yan Du with all his strength, Yan Du suffered pain, and his hands loosened.
"I'm a villain, Yan Du, so what are you, you're just a coward." Xue Yi mocked.
"Your father chattered with you about family rules in the ancestral hall, scaring you so much that you didn't dare to take Rong Xuan away. It sounds nice that you gave up your personal relationship for the sake of righteousness, but it's just an excuse for your cowardice! In the Jing's villa, you followed the young master into King Jing's palace, and found that Jing Wuya and Li Si were the same person, and after that, Rong Xuan misunderstood you, and you dared not explain to him. You obstructed the young master's plan several times, but finally swallowed your anger , a person like you can't even compare to a ten thousandth of the young master!"
"If Li Si hadn't threatened Rong Xuan's life, how could I have compromised so far!"
Xue Yi said contemptuously: "Put away your poor loyalty, even if you die, no one will sympathize with you, and even the person you are devoted to will disdain your loyalty. Yan Du, you are so pitiful."
Yan Du's face was pale, and he was trembling all over because of fear or anger.
Xue Yi approached him and said: "If it happens again like a princess on her wedding night, you abscond and go back to Rongguo to report the news. Even if the son wants to keep you again, I will kill you. If you are afraid of being alone on the road, I will let you go." Your beloved little prince will accompany you."
"Xueyi!" Yan Du said angrily.
Xue Yi patted him on the shoulder: "If you want your little son to live well, you should do things for him wholeheartedly, Shilang Yan."
***
The lights in Wu Ya's tent were still on, a person quietly walked in outside the tent, and came to him gently.
"My lord, as you expected, Yan Shilang just went to Rongmin's camp." Yin Shisan reported truthfully.
Wu Ya's hand holding the brush paused, and the last stroke was rushed, ruining the charm of the whole article.
Yin Shisan asked: "My lord, don't you send someone to bring him out?"
Wu Ya didn't say a word, picked up the pen and dipped it in the ink, took another piece of paper and started writing from the beginning, the strokes of the brush went smoothly, it was a very good running hand.
"Thirteen, what do you think?"
Yin Shisan glanced at it, shook his head and said, "Young Master, you are not as careful as you used to be."
"Really." Wu Ya said indifferently, then grabbed the rice paper on the table and crumpled it into a ball.
"My lord, aren't you going to do something?" Yin Shisan frowned.
Wu Ya took a look at him, and spread out his white paper: "After all, she is Xuan'er's older sister."
Yin Shisan smiled and said, "Young master has really changed."
"Oh?" Wu Ya said absently.
"But forgive me for speaking bluntly," Yin Shisan suddenly said seriously, "Young Master's change, in the eyes of my subordinates, is not a good thing."
Wu Ya stopped with a stroke, and the ink on the tip of the pen was painted wantonly on the rice paper, blurring out an inky blackness.
"Go out." Wu Ya said.
Yin Shisan frowned and did not leave immediately.
Wu Ya raised his hand and slapped the ink-soaked pen on the table, his tone began to show a bit of forbearance.
"go out."
"Your subordinate will leave." Yin Shisan bowed and exited the tent.
Regardless of the ink on the palm of his hand, a piece of rice paper that he had just picked up the pen was crumpled into a ball again, tightly pinched in the palm of his hand.
The author has something to say:
☆, the night before
There was chaos in the barracks, and everyone looked around with torches, illuminating the camp like daylight.
"Have you seen His Majesty?"
"No."
"Quick, look over there!"
Rong Xuan ordered no one to approach his tent, not even to bring dinner, but when night fell, Gui Jue, who wanted to change his medicine, failed to invite him in several times, finally opened the curtain and broke into the camp , but found that there was no one in the tent, and rushed out to find several generals and Rong Min without caring about the dropped medicine tray, but even Liu Qian, who was serving close by, didn't know where Rong Xuan had gone.
Everyone is in a mess.
"Princess..." Liu Qian said worriedly, "Your Majesty, did you go to find General Yan?"
Rong Min bit his lip, turned his head and asked, "Is there something missing in the army?"
"Go back to the princess, there is a carriage missing."
Liuqian and Rong Min's faces turned pale at the same time, Rong Min squeezed his fist, rushed to the stable and got on the horse, raised his whip and rode the horse towards the valley.
The fifteenth full moon is perfectly round.The moonlight is thick, the stars are dimmed by the silver glow, and there is only one bright moon in the vast night sky, which looks more and more lonely and cold.
The color of the sky changed from azure in the afternoon to blood-soaked red at dusk, and then stained by splashed ink in the night.There is no chirping of chaffinches returning to their nests in the evening, and everything falls asleep.Rong Xuan's face was pale, he endured the pain on his back, and tightly grasped the rein in his hand, the sound of the wheels was especially loud in the empty place.Driving the carriage along the way, he almost let go of the reins and fell asleep several times due to physical weakness and exhaustion.
Rong Xuan used his memory to find the way to the valley, but he couldn't find a long road anymore.The road ahead was buried by rubble, and it was impossible to get through.
He got out of the carriage, holding a jug of apricot blossom wine dangling in his hand, and staggered up to the rocky mountain piled up with gravel, panting from exhaustion, his snow-white plain clothes looked as bright as the moonlight.
The night wind in early summer is still cold, and the temperature is dissipated from the fingers without blowing, it is so cold that it hurts the heart.Rong Xuan bent down and picked up a stone, which was full of edges and corners. He held it in his hand and it hurt his palm, and he couldn't help laughing softly in his heart.
Why did you choose such a place?Barren, messy, not worthy of you at all.
"Yan Du, are you there?" Rong Xuan asked to the sky, "Sister told me everything, I brought your favorite apricot blossom wine, which I stole from Brother Yan Jing. I'm not angry with you , aren’t you coming out yet?”
Rong Xuan opened the jug and took a sip, a burst of spicy taste penetrated into his throat, causing him to cough violently.
"I forgot that this is brother Yan Jing's wine. It's much stronger than what we usually drink." Rong Xuan smiled, his eyes clouded, "Really, I didn't even bring the wine right. If you were here, I would definitely Remind me of the bar in Nalou?"
There was silence on the rocky mountain, and no one answered.
"I... have a lot to say to you."
I really want to tell you, I've always wondered why you didn't take me away.I really want to ask you, why do you think it will be hard for me to follow you, why did you exile yourself to Jingguo and leave me alone in Ronggong.
I really want to ask you, I obviously can't do anything, why do you protect me like this, why don't you tell me anything, you would rather let me hate you for the rest of my life.
Why, you want to ruin your whole life for me.
"Are you stupid or not?" Rong Xuan smiled and shed tears, the spicy taste of the wine and the salty taste of tears mixed in his mouth, it was as intricate as Rong Xuan's state of mind, "Yan Du, do you think you are stupid or not."
So stupid that I didn't even have time to explain, just because I rushed into the valley alone and pulled the cut rope of Huo Lei, blocking the pursuers for me.
It was you who said that you would accompany me all your life, but now you only left behind a silver hairpin and a piece of yellowed paper, on which was written "following" that you would never be able to do.Now you sleep here and never get up to accompany me again, what do you want me to do?
Who will accompany me to fold the apricot blossoms in the coming year, who will accompany me to appreciate the bustling night of the capital in the coming year?
You didn't want me to get hurt a little, but you were stabbed full of holes.
You made me owe you a debt that I will never pay back in my life, but you left first, and you didn't even have a chance for me to apologize.
You hate me for not believing you, so you let me remember you in this way?
You have let me in since I was a child, why are you so stingy now.
Rong Xuan pressed his palms to his eyes, unable to suppress the wanton tears.The apricot flower stuffing is pungent, but it cannot overwhelm the bitterness in the throat.The desperate clutching of the collar couldn't stop the stabbing pain in his chest.
"You are... so cunning."
"I want you to go back with me, Yandu, I want you to go back with me. I'm getting more and more afraid of walking alone." Rong Xuan choked up, "I feel so tired, but I don't know how to tell you. "
Everyone is gone, father, queen mother, Yan Xi, Xuan Yue, Jian Yan, the thousand soldiers in the stone room, Xue Yi, Wu Ya, and you.
I don't like being alone, this feeling is so annoying, I hate going to sleep every night, wishing I never opened my eyes again.
Rong Xuan smashed the wine jar and began to cry loudly, his eyes were blurred and he couldn't breathe from crying, and finally fell to the ground exhausted, his consciousness gradually became hazy.
"I am still here."
Someone said softly in his sleep.
"I will always be here."
Dazedly seeing a touch of aqua blue lightly passing by in front of his eyes in the bright light, Rong Xuan grabbed him tightly, wanted to speak but couldn't speak.Xinghua's face turned around, she smiled brightly, and the gentleness between her brows was so intoxicating that she didn't want to leave.
In the dream, Yan Du was still a 13-year-old figure, looking lonely and beautiful in the double shadow of apricot blossoms.
With a smile on his face, Yan Du opened his arms and carefully hugged the seven-year-old Rong Xuan.
"My lord, can you reach the apricot blossoms on the branches?"
"I want you to accompany me to enjoy the apricot blossoms for a lifetime."
Yan Du hugged Rong Xuan back into his arms, and gently pressed his soft lips against his forehead.
"it is good."
In the dream, the faint fragrance of apricot blossoms entangled him, and Yan Du's arms were too peaceful and warm, so pampered that Rong Xuan didn't want to leave.
"Then don't go."
"it is good."
Rong Xuan woke up in the carriage, it was already clear outside the carriage, he opened the curtain and found that he was still outside the valley, and then saw Rong Min sitting outside the carriage.
"elder sister?"
Rong Min turned to look at him, with a hoarse voice: "Are you awake?"
She looked a little haggard, as if she hadn't rested all night, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she presumably cried all night.
"Is my sister taking me down the mountain?"
"No, you were already sound asleep in the car when I came." Rong Min rubbed his eyes and said, "I also wanted to accompany him, so I didn't take you back to the barracks right away."
Rong Min glanced at the inside of the car: "It still makes me feel at ease, knowing that I have a cloak with me."
Rong Xuan looked down at the cloak in his hand, and frowned slightly.
This is not his cape.
"Let's go back."
"Ah."
After Rong Xuan returned to the camp, Bei Helian and Lin Louzhi told Rong Xuan about a decision in the army
"This may be the path to death." Rong Xuan frowned.
Bei Helian said: "If we don't fight, Li Si may not let us go in the future."
Rong Xuan asked, "What did General Yan say?"
Yan Jing replied: "The general thinks it's feasible."
Rong Xuan thought about it, but still felt something was wrong.
"We don't know where the Commander-in-Chief of the Army was placed... Li Si, rushing in will only increase casualties."
Lin Louzhi said: "The last general has sent someone to inquire about the news, Your Majesty can listen to it later."
It is said that Cao Cao arrived and Lin Louzhi's spies returned to the camp, but they failed to bring back any real news, but it can be seen that the so-called alliance between the Yong'an Army and the Jing Army is actually not strong.
Rong Xuan said with a smile: "Li Si is not a fool, he naturally wouldn't believe that the ambitious Leng Xiaoran would really hand over the Imperial Seal to him after the matter is completed. Now that he has the Commander of the Army, he almost has half of the world , and then just wait for Lichang country to enter, and then they can be annihilated in one fell swoop, and they can establish themselves as kings."
Bei Helian said: "The commander's order is such a valuable thing, it must be in the commander's tent, otherwise it will be carried by Li Si."
Rong Xuan said: "Even so, it's not easy for us to strike. Not to mention Li Si's extraordinary skills, Yin Shisan is by his side like a shadow, he acts cunningly and cruelly regardless of the consequences, I'm afraid it will not be easy to get close.
The Commander of the Army rises slowly from the brocade box, hangs in the air, exuding a blue halo all over his body.
"Your Majesty did not disappoint." Wu Ya said.
Rong Xuan looked at him, his breathing became more and more rapid, the hand behind his back finally counted to the last knuckles, he suddenly shot towards the commander of the army, but he took it back empty-handed.
Rong Xuan looked towards the direction of the canyon with a pale face, the canyon was dead silent, there was no sound at all.
He looked at Wu Ya in astonishment, seeing the smile gradually rising on his lips, his heart suddenly turned cold.
"What is Xuan'er waiting for?" Wu Ya said softly, the frost in his eyes turned into a pool of spring water, so gentle that people would drown in it, holding the Commander's Command in one hand, and pulled Rong Xuan closer with the other.
"His Majesty!"
Liuqian and the others behind him also expressed uneasiness.
"Oh...Xuan'er is waiting for the crackling sound of fire and thunder in the valley?" Wu Ya pretended to be stunned and asked, with a handsome and evil smile, "It's a pity, I'm afraid you won't hear it."
The author has something to say:
☆, farewell
My lord is still held in Wu Ya's hands, Bai Qi and Lin Louzhi dare not approach easily.With disgust and astonishment on Rong Xuan's face, he looked at Wu Ya with a complicated expression and tried hard to break free, but with a slight movement, his wrist would feel a tearing pain, forcing him to turn his head away and not look at Wu Ya. The heavy oppression made Rong Xuan feel uncomfortable.
"You think that a general from the Yong'an Army escaped, and I wouldn't know? You think you buried thunder in the valley at night, and I wouldn't know?" Wu Ya leaned closer to his ear, and said softly, "For something as delicate as Tianlei, I only need to cut off one of the threads, and the whole thing will be scrapped."
He knows everything, Rong Xuan bit his lips and thought, in this way, everything I did would become a well-planned joke in front of his eyes?
"If I can't bear to wait until now, how can I win the commander's order, and how can I see you?" Wu Ya gently bit Rong Xuan's ear, people in the distance couldn't see their actions clearly, so such a small The provocation became more and more unbridled, "I said a long time ago, you just need to stay behind me at ease, why didn't you listen to me?"
"Master's Order," Rong Xuan gritted his teeth and sneered, "It was exchanged for the flesh and blood of a thousand soldiers from our Rong Kingdom, you..."
"Don't forget, there is still Xue Yi's Yuqu Xin here." Wu Ya said.
Rong Xuan sneered, "You killed him..."
Wu Ya frowned and said coldly: "I have never forced him."
Tianlei's clues were cut off, so Rong Min might have been transferred to other places long ago, what happened to Leng Bai?Was he captured, or did he find something wrong and went back to the barracks?What happened to Rongmin, dead or alive?If Jing Jun had discovered the passage of the canyon, would he have already led his troops into the barracks?The more I think about it, the more confused I feel, but right now I am still under the control of others.All the anxieties are intertwined, like an unreasonable twine, getting bigger and bigger.Rong Xuan pursed his lips and moved his shoulders, asking Wu Ya to let him go.
"The commander of the army gave you the order, let me go."
Wu Ya increased the strength in his hand: "Want to leave? I won't allow it."
"You!" Rong Xuan was furious, "You promised to release Rong Min when you got the order from the commander of the army. Now I can't see my sister, and I will be detained by you. How can you not keep your promise!"
Wu Ya sneered and said, "I didn't keep my promise? Who was it that sent people to the camp to find out when I knew I would let Rong Min go? And who wanted to have both fish and bear's paw, secretly planting fire mines in the valley ?”
"Let me go!"
"Don't let go." Wu Ya said, "Since it's Xuan'er who doesn't make sense first, then I will naturally act according to what I like."
Wu Ya said, and took Rong Xuan to the barracks.
"Where are you taking me?!" Rong Xuan shouted while struggling.
Wu Ya glanced at Rong Xuan and said, "I've always thought that people who fantasize about having it both ways are too greedy. But seeing you, Xuan'er, I have no choice but to become greedy."
"Jing Wuya, you are so despicable!"
Wu Ya turned pale, pursed his lips and said, "Even if I become the most despicable person in the world, I don't care!"
"You let me go!"
The two were tugging, and Bai Qi had already drawn the bowstring, just waiting for the moment when Rong Xuan and Wu Ya separated so that Jing Wuya could be killed with an arrow.
"Boom—"
Suddenly there was a sound of thunder in the sky, and everyone followed the sound, and it seemed that the sound of thunder was continuous, coming quickly and violently.The huge vibration made everyone feel unstable under their feet.
Rong Xuan looked at the place where the thunder was coming from, he was startled, and unconsciously looked back at Wu Ya, only to find that Wu Ya also had a strange expression on his face.
"How come..." Wu Ya said softly.
Rong Xuan took the opportunity to spread his arms around, and broke free from Wu Ya's arms, trying to bypass Wu Ya and run back to Bai Qi and the others.Wu Ya reacted immediately, and was about to stop Rong Xuan, but suddenly found him staggering and fell back into his arms.
Rong Xuan looked at him with horror on his face, he frowned, his face gradually turned pale, even the blood on his lips lost color, his feet gave way and he fell down.
"Xuan'er?" Wu Ya panicked, just as he supported his back, he found a dagger stuck behind his back at some point.
Looking up, Yin Shisan, who was dressed in black, was looking at him coldly, and gently lowered his hand.
Wu Ya looked at Yin Hong's blood in his palm in disbelief, his face turned pale, and he hugged Rong Xuan tightly in a panic.
"...Xuan'er...Xuan'er?! No...don't..."
Rong Xuan only felt the severe pain in his back, which made him unable to speak.
"Xuan'er? Xuan'er...Look at me, I'll take you back to the barracks...Don't be in trouble, please don't be in trouble..."
why is he cryingRong Xuan thought to himself, is he still worthy of his tears?Think about it, too, the plaything that is almost in hand may die suddenly, and I will feel bad if I change it.
Rong Xuan saw that his brows tightened suddenly, and the dark blue clothes on his chest were suddenly dyed with some unknown color.He seemed to hear hurried footsteps, and Lin Louzhi suddenly appeared behind Wu Ya, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he slapped him on the back of the neck, making him let go, and then Lin Louzhi ran away to hand over him land.Yin Shisan also rushed over, wanted to chase Rong Xuan back but gave up, returned to Wu Ya who had been hit by Bai Qi's arrow, and helped him back to the camp.
Liuqian rode his horse and galloped all the way, rushing back to the camp at half the speed since then.After hearing the news, Guijue rushed over anxiously, seeing that Rong Xuan was seriously injured, he hurriedly asked people to prepare medicine and gauze.He cut a piece of ginseng for Rong Xuan to swallow, Rong Xuan was already unconscious due to the pain, Guijue had no choice but to call him loudly until he heard his response.
"Your Majesty, don't fall asleep, Weiche will take off the dagger for you."
Rong Xuan vaguely heard Guijue's question, and answered in a daze, and then suddenly felt the sharp weapon on his back was pulled away, and all his strength seemed to escape from the wound. The warmth overflowed, and my mind suddenly became blurred.
"Your Majesty! Wake up," Gui Jue called softly, "Your Majesty, don't fall asleep, Your Majesty!"
Rong Xuan tried his best to open his eyes, and saw everyone gathered around the bed looking at him.
Seeing him wake up, Guijue let out a long sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty has taken soul-gathering powder, so the bleeding is less than ordinary people. Although the dagger stabbed deeply, fortunately it did not pierce the chest, so there will be no serious problems." Gui Jue said, "Your Majesty must rest for two days. Get up and move around, or the wound will burst open."
Rong Xuan closed his eyes and frowned, then asked, "Where's Leng Bai?"
"Brother Xuan, I'm here."
Leng Bai walked up to the crowd, seeing that he didn't seem to be seriously injured, Rong Xuan felt a little relieved.
Seeing that Rong Xuan gave him a shallow smile, Leng Bai said guiltily, "Leng Bai was negligent. He didn't expect that Huolei's clues would be cut by Jing Jun. He was chased by Jing Jun as soon as he entered the valley, and almost caused a big disaster. Misfortune. Leng Bai was willing to die to apologize for not being able to bring back the Princess."
Rong Xuan said with difficulty: "That's all...just as long as you are safe."
It's just Rong Min... I'm afraid I won't see her again.
"But later, didn't Huo Lei explode?" Lin Louzhi asked strangely.
Leng Bai was stunned for a moment, and after the attack was blocked, he immediately led people back to the barracks to report, and asked Bei Helian to prepare early in case the Jing army came from the mountain road to attack.The military camp was far away from the valley, so the explosion of fire and thunder was not heard.
Liu Qiang said: "That's right, General Bai Qi and I have also heard it, the thunder that shook the sky came from the valley, it is absolutely unmistakable."
Leng Bai shook his head, expressing that he did not know.
With the power of the fire and thunder, the valley is estimated to have been blown up and buried. Without this valley, the possibility of Jing Jun chasing from this road is reduced to zero. In this way, you can feel at ease. point.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Outside the tent, soldiers shouted loudly and rushed to the front of the tent, but were stopped by the guards in front of the tent.
"Your Majesty just woke up from a serious injury, what are you trying to do?"
The officer couldn't hide his anxiety: "You let me in, I have something important to report."
Rong Xuan waved his hand, Liuqian understood, walked to the tent and asked:
"What's the matter, come in and talk."
The soldier stumbled into the tent and knelt down in front of Rong Xuan's bed with a plop.
"Your Majesty! Princess Min is back!"
"what?!"
Rong Xuan sat up suddenly, and everyone looked at each other in surprise.
"Liuqian! Quickly help me up!" Rong Xuan struggled and was about to get off the ground, but was quickly supported by Liuqian who rushed over.
He was busy putting on boots when he heard someone outside the tent whisper:
"Your Majesty is here, princess please."
The curtain was lifted, and Rong Min walked in, dressed in the attire of a woman from Jingguo, walking into the tent with a messy face.
Rong Xuan was so pleasantly surprised that he even forgot the pain on his back, hurriedly shook off Liu Qian, and staggered towards Rong Min.
"elder sister!"
Rong Xuan rushed over excitedly and hugged Rong Min tightly, tears streaming down his face.Rong Min's chest trembled, and he raised his hand to gently comfort Rong Xuan.
Finally redeemed the same, finally nothing is lost.
Rong Xuan wiped the tears from his face, moved away a little and looked at his sister carefully.His face seemed to be a little thinner, but his body seemed fine. It seemed that in Jing Junzhong, he had not been treated inhumanly, and even specially prepared women's clothes for her, Rong Xuan felt a little relieved.
"Congratulations to the princess for returning to the camp safely." Everyone said happily.
Rong Xuan asked: "How did my sister escape? Did my sister find out when I sent someone to investigate in the barracks that day?"
Rong Min looked at Rong Xuan without any smile on his face.
She stretched out her hand wordlessly, slowly spread out her palm, and handed it to Rong Xuan.
Rong Xuan glanced at his sister strangely, then looked down, and the smile disappeared immediately.
"Rong Xuan... until now, I don't believe you still don't understand..." Rong Min said with a trembling voice, with a look of hatred on his face.
Everyone in the tent looked at each other, not knowing what happened between the siblings, they only saw Rong Xuan brushing Rong Min's shoulder and running out in a daze, Liu Qian and Gui Jue hurriedly chased them out, Rong Min sat on the ground paralyzed, I couldn't stop shaking.
"Your Majesty! You are injured, come back quickly!" Liu Qian shouted from behind, but he couldn't catch up to the plain white Rong Xuan.
Rong Xuan ran all the way to Yingkou, leaning on the wooden pillars of the camp, gasping for breath, his face was terribly pale, he only stopped to rest for a while, then stumbled out again, not knowing where he was going, Liuqian hurriedly shouted : "Stop Your Majesty!"
The guards in Yingkou rushed forward to stop Rong Xuan, Rong Xuan didn't seem to have the strength to run anymore, he stood there blankly, his already thin figure looked thinner and thinner now.
He looked in the direction of the valley sadly, and said in a hoarse voice full of desolation:
"Yan Du------!!!!!!"
A burst of sweet and greasy blood welled up in his throat, and immediately a deep red dyed the sand around his feet, and the plain white clothes were dotted with mottled spots, which was shocking.Regardless of wiping off the blood on his lips, Rong Xuan's eyes darkened, and he sank into endless darkness, holding a plain silver flying swallow hairpin tightly in his palm.
***
"Minmin, when you see Rong Xuan, give this to him for me."
Yan Du took off the silver hairpin from the bun and handed it to Rong Min. Rong Min took the silver hairpin and said worriedly:
"What are you going to do?"
Yan Du smiled peacefully, got off the horse, Rong Min's heart sank, and he hurriedly returned the hairpin in his hand to Yan Du.
"If you want to give it to yourself, you go back with me."
The sound of horseshoes of the pursuers getting closer and closer, Yan Du tightly stuffed the Feiyan hairpin into Rong Min's hand.
"Yan Du, you go back with me, otherwise Rong Xuan will feel guilty for the rest of his life." Rong Min said urgently.
Yan Du smiled softly, but there was an unresolved bitterness between his brows.
"Then tell Rong Xuan for me that in the Rong Palace that year, the apricot blossoms never bloomed, Yan never came, and nothing happened."
The author has something to say: Yan Lang is going well all the way...
☆, Yandu
Ever since Rong Min entered Jingjun's camp, he hadn't seen Wu Ya again, as if he had forgotten that she existed.She was imprisoned in a camp, but the room was fully furnished, and even the swords that were common in military camps were not put away.Rong Min couldn't help thinking that perhaps Wu Ya took him away just to let Rong Xuan know that he had this bargaining chip in his hand, and he didn't care about the life or death of this bargaining chip at all.After all, if Rong Xuan really exchanged the commander's order at that time, Wu Ya would get the commander's order first and then release himself. Since he has the master's order, why should he care about the life and death of a bargaining chip.Rong Min is not afraid of death, nor does she want Rong Xuan to save her. To her, her own life is nothing compared to a thousand soldiers.What's more, if Xuan Yue hadn't ventured into the army that day, her soul would have already been sealed in the commander's order.It's just that with Wu Ya doing this, Rong Min no longer has the idea of sacrificing his life for righteousness.
Rong Min lay down on the bed in the tent, thinking about what happened in the past two days.In the military camp, they only knew Wu Ya and Yan Du.Wu Ya is the coach, so it's not surprising that he can't be seen, but Yin Shisan, the killer general beside him, often meets outside the tent. After talking for only three sentences, he will stop Rong Min with "no comment" At the end of the day, he ordered people to strictly guard him, and he was not allowed to go out.
In the middle of the night, the torches outside the tent gradually decreased, but many people could still be seen walking back and forth.Even without bare hands, it is impossible to rush out of the barracks alone.
"General Yan."
The guard at the entrance of the tent suddenly said respectfully, Rong Min listened carefully to the movement outside the tent holding his breath.
"My lord has something to bring to the princess." A familiar voice sounded, and Rong Min's heart skipped a beat.
"This..." The guard seemed a little embarrassed.
Yan Du said coldly: "Why, are you suspecting that this general will let her go without permission?"
"The last general doesn't dare." The guard said in fear, and then stepped aside, "General, please."
As soon as Yan Du became the battalion commander, Rong Min taunted him:
"Hey, why does Yan Shilang have to be suppressed by the status of a general when he sees a prisoner? It seems that you, the celebrity in front of Li Si, are not having a very easy life, right?"
Yan Du didn't get angry, but smiled lightly: "The princess is laughing."
Xinghua's appearance and a proper smile are like putting a glass of mellow poisonous wine in front of a thirsty person, seductive and deadly.
Yan Du loosened his eyebrows, and the expression on his face looked the same as that in the Rong Palace back then. In a trance, people thought that he hadn't changed a little in all these years.
With a sore nose, Rong Min turned around and turned his back on him, holding back tears and said:
"Yan Du, save yourself the effort, put away that hypocritical smile of yours, you..." You are the one who killed Second Brother Yan with your own hands, why can you smile so cleanly that people don't want to believe such a dirty thing? , is it from your hand?
Yan Du took off his saber and put it aside. After a long silence, he asked, "How are you going to escape?"
Rong Min turned around, looked at Yan Du in disbelief, and asked coldly, "Did Li Si send you here?"
Yan Du was taken aback and didn't answer.
Rong Min sneered and said: "Do you think you are still the Yandu whom I trusted with all my heart? If you ask me, you will say anything? Oh, I would like to know, what benefits did Li Si give you? help him like this?"
Yan Du paused and said: "He did, he gave me a lot of benefits, so good that I couldn't refuse."
Rong Min said contemptuously: "You mean, Li Ji?"
Yan is noncommittal.
"I really misjudged you and mistrusted you," Rong Min gritted his teeth and said decisively, "Second brother Yan... He said that blood is thicker than water, how could you do it, how could you bear it..."
"I didn't kill my second brother."
"Only you are missing in the snow!" Rong Min said angrily, "Who else could it be except you?!"
Seeing that Rong Min was shaking with excitement, Yan Du wanted to stretch out his hand to comfort him, but Rong Min sideways avoided him, so he had no choice but to withdraw his hand embarrassingly.
"After all, if a person sees it, he will have a reasonable explanation," Yan Du said softly, "I killed the accompanying soldiers because I wanted to let my second brother go."
Rong Min suddenly raised his head, blinked his eyes in confusion, and felt a little dizzy for a moment.
"What did you say?"
"You said that blood is thicker than water, so how could I do it."
"Then Second Brother Yan..." Rong Min asked in one sentence, seeing Shangyan's eyes of despair and pain, he felt a sudden knock in his heart, "Second Brother Yan...did he commit suicide?"
Yan Du closed his eyes, and the north wind was blowing in his ears again, as if everything had returned to that bone-chilling winter snow field.
Seeing Yan Xi's terrified and unbelievable eyes looking at himself, he asked, "What do you mean?"
"Second brother, let's go."
Yan Du, my long sword soaked in blood, urged me.
Yan Xi grabbed Yan Du who was about to leave and asked, "What's going on?"
Yan Du turned his face away and said softly: "Someone wants me to take your head."
Yan Xi paused: "Then you didn't kill me because I was your second brother, or...you..."
"Second brother, it's useless to talk," Yan Du interrupted, "When you returned to the camp, you said that you killed everyone and stabbed me when I was not prepared, and then escaped."
"Then what do you do!" Yan Xi stopped him, "You go back empty-handed, Li Si will never let you go."
"I have my own way."
"Third brother!"
The cold wind was piercing, and it made people's faces flushed, and they were almost unconscious from the cold. Warm tears flowed on their faces, like boiling water, burning their faces so painfully.
"Third brother, if you still have the surname Rong, you can use the second brother's head."
It was too late to stop him, his eyes had already pierced the sudden red in the snow white, and Yan Xi couldn't hear the second brother's cry.
At night, Yan Du stood alone at the entrance of the barracks, his throat was full of bitterness, he finally wanted to be weak for a while, wanted to let the tears fall, but was interrupted by the call of a person behind him.
"Why, reluctant?"
The person who came was wearing a silver iron mask, his icy blue eyes flickered behind the iron mask, and he smiled and handed over the fox fur cloak in his hand to Yan Du.
Yan Du frowned and took the cloak.
"He's my brother after all."
"As expected of General Yan, he will do what he says." The visitor said with a smile.
Yan Du gave him a sideways look, and said coldly: "Xue Yi, you really have a vicious mind."
Xue Yi took off Li Si's mask and giggled twice.
"Today, some spies said that near the camp, they found the whereabouts of Rong Min and others."
Yan Du's complexion changed, and he gritted his teeth: "Isn't this exactly what you want? Let them think that I killed Yan Xi, so that Rong Xuan's gambling nest will be completely disappointed?!"
Xue Yi stretched out his fingers and hooked Gou Yandu's face, and said with a sneer, "General Yan, you think too highly of yourself. I did this only to make Rong Xuan's life worse than death."
"what?!"
Xue Yi raised her eyebrows lightly, her icy blue eyes lit up slightly, and she smiled at Yan Du, so innocent and cute that she was somewhat similar to Rong Xuan when she was young.
"I'm just curious. If the young prince who thought you betrayed found out that you were dead, would he be happy, or would he shed even a single tear for you? Hmm?"
"I heard that it's beautiful to see a beautiful woman cry. Young Master likes to watch me cry when I'm on the bed," Xue Yi smiled, "Why don't I kill you and tell Rong Xuan everything? Hahaha, his back then His face must be very pretty."
Yan Du pursed his lips tightly.
"Then I'll torture him little by little until he dies under my feet little by little, how about it, Yan Shilang?"
Yan Du couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Xueyi by the collar and pressed him against the tree trunk, his eyes were red with anger.
"It was you who said you would keep Rong Xuan safe, so I stayed by Li Si's side!"
Xue Yi's throat was uncomfortably pinched, and he desperately pulled Yan Du's hand away with a haughty expression on his face.
"That's what you said...Young Master cough cough cough... I never said that Rong Xuan's life would be spared..."
"rat……"
"Even if I'm a villain, how can you get me? Hmph, let me tell you, I just want to watch Rong Xuan lose everything... let him gain nothing..."
"You!" Yan Du increased the strength in his hands, and Xue Yi's face contorted.
Xue Yi struggled, and kicked Yan Du with all his strength, Yan Du suffered pain, and his hands loosened.
"I'm a villain, Yan Du, so what are you, you're just a coward." Xue Yi mocked.
"Your father chattered with you about family rules in the ancestral hall, scaring you so much that you didn't dare to take Rong Xuan away. It sounds nice that you gave up your personal relationship for the sake of righteousness, but it's just an excuse for your cowardice! In the Jing's villa, you followed the young master into King Jing's palace, and found that Jing Wuya and Li Si were the same person, and after that, Rong Xuan misunderstood you, and you dared not explain to him. You obstructed the young master's plan several times, but finally swallowed your anger , a person like you can't even compare to a ten thousandth of the young master!"
"If Li Si hadn't threatened Rong Xuan's life, how could I have compromised so far!"
Xue Yi said contemptuously: "Put away your poor loyalty, even if you die, no one will sympathize with you, and even the person you are devoted to will disdain your loyalty. Yan Du, you are so pitiful."
Yan Du's face was pale, and he was trembling all over because of fear or anger.
Xue Yi approached him and said: "If it happens again like a princess on her wedding night, you abscond and go back to Rongguo to report the news. Even if the son wants to keep you again, I will kill you. If you are afraid of being alone on the road, I will let you go." Your beloved little prince will accompany you."
"Xueyi!" Yan Du said angrily.
Xue Yi patted him on the shoulder: "If you want your little son to live well, you should do things for him wholeheartedly, Shilang Yan."
***
The lights in Wu Ya's tent were still on, a person quietly walked in outside the tent, and came to him gently.
"My lord, as you expected, Yan Shilang just went to Rongmin's camp." Yin Shisan reported truthfully.
Wu Ya's hand holding the brush paused, and the last stroke was rushed, ruining the charm of the whole article.
Yin Shisan asked: "My lord, don't you send someone to bring him out?"
Wu Ya didn't say a word, picked up the pen and dipped it in the ink, took another piece of paper and started writing from the beginning, the strokes of the brush went smoothly, it was a very good running hand.
"Thirteen, what do you think?"
Yin Shisan glanced at it, shook his head and said, "Young Master, you are not as careful as you used to be."
"Really." Wu Ya said indifferently, then grabbed the rice paper on the table and crumpled it into a ball.
"My lord, aren't you going to do something?" Yin Shisan frowned.
Wu Ya took a look at him, and spread out his white paper: "After all, she is Xuan'er's older sister."
Yin Shisan smiled and said, "Young master has really changed."
"Oh?" Wu Ya said absently.
"But forgive me for speaking bluntly," Yin Shisan suddenly said seriously, "Young Master's change, in the eyes of my subordinates, is not a good thing."
Wu Ya stopped with a stroke, and the ink on the tip of the pen was painted wantonly on the rice paper, blurring out an inky blackness.
"Go out." Wu Ya said.
Yin Shisan frowned and did not leave immediately.
Wu Ya raised his hand and slapped the ink-soaked pen on the table, his tone began to show a bit of forbearance.
"go out."
"Your subordinate will leave." Yin Shisan bowed and exited the tent.
Regardless of the ink on the palm of his hand, a piece of rice paper that he had just picked up the pen was crumpled into a ball again, tightly pinched in the palm of his hand.
The author has something to say:
☆, the night before
There was chaos in the barracks, and everyone looked around with torches, illuminating the camp like daylight.
"Have you seen His Majesty?"
"No."
"Quick, look over there!"
Rong Xuan ordered no one to approach his tent, not even to bring dinner, but when night fell, Gui Jue, who wanted to change his medicine, failed to invite him in several times, finally opened the curtain and broke into the camp , but found that there was no one in the tent, and rushed out to find several generals and Rong Min without caring about the dropped medicine tray, but even Liu Qian, who was serving close by, didn't know where Rong Xuan had gone.
Everyone is in a mess.
"Princess..." Liu Qian said worriedly, "Your Majesty, did you go to find General Yan?"
Rong Min bit his lip, turned his head and asked, "Is there something missing in the army?"
"Go back to the princess, there is a carriage missing."
Liuqian and Rong Min's faces turned pale at the same time, Rong Min squeezed his fist, rushed to the stable and got on the horse, raised his whip and rode the horse towards the valley.
The fifteenth full moon is perfectly round.The moonlight is thick, the stars are dimmed by the silver glow, and there is only one bright moon in the vast night sky, which looks more and more lonely and cold.
The color of the sky changed from azure in the afternoon to blood-soaked red at dusk, and then stained by splashed ink in the night.There is no chirping of chaffinches returning to their nests in the evening, and everything falls asleep.Rong Xuan's face was pale, he endured the pain on his back, and tightly grasped the rein in his hand, the sound of the wheels was especially loud in the empty place.Driving the carriage along the way, he almost let go of the reins and fell asleep several times due to physical weakness and exhaustion.
Rong Xuan used his memory to find the way to the valley, but he couldn't find a long road anymore.The road ahead was buried by rubble, and it was impossible to get through.
He got out of the carriage, holding a jug of apricot blossom wine dangling in his hand, and staggered up to the rocky mountain piled up with gravel, panting from exhaustion, his snow-white plain clothes looked as bright as the moonlight.
The night wind in early summer is still cold, and the temperature is dissipated from the fingers without blowing, it is so cold that it hurts the heart.Rong Xuan bent down and picked up a stone, which was full of edges and corners. He held it in his hand and it hurt his palm, and he couldn't help laughing softly in his heart.
Why did you choose such a place?Barren, messy, not worthy of you at all.
"Yan Du, are you there?" Rong Xuan asked to the sky, "Sister told me everything, I brought your favorite apricot blossom wine, which I stole from Brother Yan Jing. I'm not angry with you , aren’t you coming out yet?”
Rong Xuan opened the jug and took a sip, a burst of spicy taste penetrated into his throat, causing him to cough violently.
"I forgot that this is brother Yan Jing's wine. It's much stronger than what we usually drink." Rong Xuan smiled, his eyes clouded, "Really, I didn't even bring the wine right. If you were here, I would definitely Remind me of the bar in Nalou?"
There was silence on the rocky mountain, and no one answered.
"I... have a lot to say to you."
I really want to tell you, I've always wondered why you didn't take me away.I really want to ask you, why do you think it will be hard for me to follow you, why did you exile yourself to Jingguo and leave me alone in Ronggong.
I really want to ask you, I obviously can't do anything, why do you protect me like this, why don't you tell me anything, you would rather let me hate you for the rest of my life.
Why, you want to ruin your whole life for me.
"Are you stupid or not?" Rong Xuan smiled and shed tears, the spicy taste of the wine and the salty taste of tears mixed in his mouth, it was as intricate as Rong Xuan's state of mind, "Yan Du, do you think you are stupid or not."
So stupid that I didn't even have time to explain, just because I rushed into the valley alone and pulled the cut rope of Huo Lei, blocking the pursuers for me.
It was you who said that you would accompany me all your life, but now you only left behind a silver hairpin and a piece of yellowed paper, on which was written "following" that you would never be able to do.Now you sleep here and never get up to accompany me again, what do you want me to do?
Who will accompany me to fold the apricot blossoms in the coming year, who will accompany me to appreciate the bustling night of the capital in the coming year?
You didn't want me to get hurt a little, but you were stabbed full of holes.
You made me owe you a debt that I will never pay back in my life, but you left first, and you didn't even have a chance for me to apologize.
You hate me for not believing you, so you let me remember you in this way?
You have let me in since I was a child, why are you so stingy now.
Rong Xuan pressed his palms to his eyes, unable to suppress the wanton tears.The apricot flower stuffing is pungent, but it cannot overwhelm the bitterness in the throat.The desperate clutching of the collar couldn't stop the stabbing pain in his chest.
"You are... so cunning."
"I want you to go back with me, Yandu, I want you to go back with me. I'm getting more and more afraid of walking alone." Rong Xuan choked up, "I feel so tired, but I don't know how to tell you. "
Everyone is gone, father, queen mother, Yan Xi, Xuan Yue, Jian Yan, the thousand soldiers in the stone room, Xue Yi, Wu Ya, and you.
I don't like being alone, this feeling is so annoying, I hate going to sleep every night, wishing I never opened my eyes again.
Rong Xuan smashed the wine jar and began to cry loudly, his eyes were blurred and he couldn't breathe from crying, and finally fell to the ground exhausted, his consciousness gradually became hazy.
"I am still here."
Someone said softly in his sleep.
"I will always be here."
Dazedly seeing a touch of aqua blue lightly passing by in front of his eyes in the bright light, Rong Xuan grabbed him tightly, wanted to speak but couldn't speak.Xinghua's face turned around, she smiled brightly, and the gentleness between her brows was so intoxicating that she didn't want to leave.
In the dream, Yan Du was still a 13-year-old figure, looking lonely and beautiful in the double shadow of apricot blossoms.
With a smile on his face, Yan Du opened his arms and carefully hugged the seven-year-old Rong Xuan.
"My lord, can you reach the apricot blossoms on the branches?"
"I want you to accompany me to enjoy the apricot blossoms for a lifetime."
Yan Du hugged Rong Xuan back into his arms, and gently pressed his soft lips against his forehead.
"it is good."
In the dream, the faint fragrance of apricot blossoms entangled him, and Yan Du's arms were too peaceful and warm, so pampered that Rong Xuan didn't want to leave.
"Then don't go."
"it is good."
Rong Xuan woke up in the carriage, it was already clear outside the carriage, he opened the curtain and found that he was still outside the valley, and then saw Rong Min sitting outside the carriage.
"elder sister?"
Rong Min turned to look at him, with a hoarse voice: "Are you awake?"
She looked a little haggard, as if she hadn't rested all night, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she presumably cried all night.
"Is my sister taking me down the mountain?"
"No, you were already sound asleep in the car when I came." Rong Min rubbed his eyes and said, "I also wanted to accompany him, so I didn't take you back to the barracks right away."
Rong Min glanced at the inside of the car: "It still makes me feel at ease, knowing that I have a cloak with me."
Rong Xuan looked down at the cloak in his hand, and frowned slightly.
This is not his cape.
"Let's go back."
"Ah."
After Rong Xuan returned to the camp, Bei Helian and Lin Louzhi told Rong Xuan about a decision in the army
"This may be the path to death." Rong Xuan frowned.
Bei Helian said: "If we don't fight, Li Si may not let us go in the future."
Rong Xuan asked, "What did General Yan say?"
Yan Jing replied: "The general thinks it's feasible."
Rong Xuan thought about it, but still felt something was wrong.
"We don't know where the Commander-in-Chief of the Army was placed... Li Si, rushing in will only increase casualties."
Lin Louzhi said: "The last general has sent someone to inquire about the news, Your Majesty can listen to it later."
It is said that Cao Cao arrived and Lin Louzhi's spies returned to the camp, but they failed to bring back any real news, but it can be seen that the so-called alliance between the Yong'an Army and the Jing Army is actually not strong.
Rong Xuan said with a smile: "Li Si is not a fool, he naturally wouldn't believe that the ambitious Leng Xiaoran would really hand over the Imperial Seal to him after the matter is completed. Now that he has the Commander of the Army, he almost has half of the world , and then just wait for Lichang country to enter, and then they can be annihilated in one fell swoop, and they can establish themselves as kings."
Bei Helian said: "The commander's order is such a valuable thing, it must be in the commander's tent, otherwise it will be carried by Li Si."
Rong Xuan said: "Even so, it's not easy for us to strike. Not to mention Li Si's extraordinary skills, Yin Shisan is by his side like a shadow, he acts cunningly and cruelly regardless of the consequences, I'm afraid it will not be easy to get close.
