Dinghai Fusheng Records

Outside Hara and Lin City, in the purple twilight sky, a large spark falling to the horizon appeared in the distance. Xiang Shu followed Che Luofeng to the stone tower on the high ground behind the palace.There is a half-dead tree outside the stone pagoda. According to legend, it was planted here by Wei Qing himself when he attacked the Dragon City 500 years ago.

"Did you get my letter?" Xiang Shu asked.

Che Luofeng just stood silently, Xiang Shu leaned against the tree trunk, looking at the distant horizon.

"Who is that Han man?" Che Luofeng asked suddenly.

"Compared with his origin, you should be more concerned about Zhou Zhen's whereabouts." Xiang Shu's handsome face was shrouded in the last light of sunset, and soon, the sky filled with stars rose, and the starlight illuminated the sky on the high ground of the Dragon City Palace. two people.

Che Luofeng raised his eyes and glanced at Xiang Shu, and said quickly: "Where is he? Who told you the news? We only found out that the dead of the Akele tribe wanted revenge. Zhou Zhen never showed up, never!"

"There will be a chance." Xiang Shu said calmly, leaving the big tree, and was about to walk towards Che Luofeng, when he suddenly paused, as if he vaguely remembered something, it seemed that he was also under the same tree, and the other side of the tree On one side, there is a feeling of deja vu.Countless chaotic memory fragments seemed to flood Xiang Shu's mind in an instant, making him stand quietly without saying a word.

"An answer." Finally, Che Luofeng couldn't hold back any longer, and said to Xiang Shu.

But Xiang Shu raised his hand to signal Che Luofeng not to interrupt him.

"No, I am not."

It was as if there was a voice saying softly behind the tree: "I just happen to be the...suitable..."

Xiang Shu turned around and came behind the tree, but there was nothing behind the tree.

Xiang Shu's eyes showed a bit of bewilderment.

"Answer?" Che Luofeng walked over quickly and asked full of doubts.

Xiang Shu pressed the tree trunk with one hand, lowered his head slightly, his brows were deeply furrowed, and when he raised his eyes to look at Che Luofeng, there was a little helplessness in his eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Che Luofeng asked strangely.

Inside the palace bedroom.

King Akele murmured: "Many years ago... Shuluwen was my answer."

When Chen Xing heard this, he was stunned.

"You...you..." Chen Xing said, "So you're so close?"

King Akele let out a hot breath, and Chen Xing changed the wet cloth for him. King Akele spoke intermittently, with many ancient Hun language mixed in. Chen Xing could only understand the general meaning. : Many years ago, King Akele and King Tiele also made a vow to live and die together.However, with the change of aquatic plants on the prairie and the ups and downs of the relationship between Tiele and the Huns, the two tribes gradually became estranged over the years, and Shuluwen and King Akele also gradually forgot about it. .

Maybe everyone remembers it, but no one mentions it anymore.

But every time Shuluwen went to the north for inspection, he would take the warriors to the camp of the Akele tribe as guests for a few days, and the two met.

"He likes Han people," murmured King Akele. "His son Shulukong is very much like Lao Tzu. They all want to be with Han people who are knowledgeable, kind-hearted, and able to read, write, paint, paint and play." The Han people who play the 'qin' in the south, the Han people who can sing poems and praise the beauty of the stars and mountains on the prairie..."

"...to spend a lifetime together."

Chen Xing listened quietly, and then said: "So he fell in love with Xiang Yuyan."

"Well..." King Akele said slowly, "He fell in love with that Han girl at the first sight. And when he was a child, Shulukong was just like his father. He liked the south and wanted to go to Jiangnan. In his mother's hometown, he found the Han man he was destined for, and the child didn't want to be a big Shanyu. They all said that the place where you Han people live is like a fairyland, a paradise with blooming flowers, small bridges and flowing water..."

Chen Xing laughed, put a wet cloth on King Akele, and said: "In the future, you will have the opportunity to bring your wife and children to our hometown as a guest."

"Thank you," King Akele said slowly, "You took care of Shulukong when he was in the south. For some reason, I always feel that I have known you before, and you are a kind child. Shulukong must find It took a long time to find you, and in our Huns' parlance, this is 'destiny'."

Chen Xing: "..."

Hara and Lin Harem are high under the trees.

Xiang Shu let out a sigh of relief, suddenly a little tired, but Che Luofeng said persistently: "These days, I often wait for you, I thought you would stay in the south and would never come back."

Xiang Shu came back to his senses, glanced at Che Luofeng, and answered him with a poem from the grassland:

"Together is short, parting is eternal. The wind will die, and the snow will melt."

When he heard this, Che Luofeng's face suddenly changed, because the next sentence was "in the far south, the land where peach blossoms bloom is my gentle hometown", what Xiang Shu wanted to tell Che Luofeng was that the origin There is no need to force fate, no matter how good a friend is, it is common for friends to come and go, but Che Luofeng would have the wrong idea.

"So that's your 'destiny'," Che Luofeng said sadly, "it's your gentle hometown."

"What fate?" Xiang Shu patted the trunk casually, shaking off the leaves.

Che Luofeng said: "I remember, I always remember. You said that year that you wanted to go to your mother's place."

"Is there?" Xiang Shujun's face had an imperceptible blush, thinking of that summer, when he learned that Zhou Zhen and Che Luofeng were together, Che Luofeng asked him when he got married.

That afternoon.

They were fishing on the banks of the Salawusu River, and Xiang Shu's answer to this was "I will always wait for the person I was destined to arrive".

"You know what he is like again?" Che Luofeng asked him dissatisfied at that time.

"Maybe it's a Han Chinese, maybe it's people from outside the Great Wall like us." Xiang Shu stared at the calm, sparkling water surface, the big river gleaming with sunlight like a vast dreamland, "It doesn't matter where you come from or where you want to go. It must be He is like my mother, kind-hearted, has read many books, knows many things, and has seen many injustices in the world, but he is like a spring breeze and a peach blossom, a warm person."

Che Luofeng said with a sullen face: "After all, I still like the Han people. An Da, you just heard too many stories and want things from the Han people. When I become the patriarch in the future and take the iron cavalry to the south, what do you think?" If you want, I will get it for you."

"You don't understand, that's my destiny." Xiang Shu said flatly, finally got up and left, leaving behind Zhou Zhen and Che Luofeng who were still by the river.

Hara and the harem tree.

Xiang Shu was immersed in memories, until Che Luofeng's voice sounded again, and he was dragged back to reality.

Che Luofeng looked at Xiang Shu in confusion and sadness, and said, "That kid, you came back from the south and brought that Han man, that's what you're looking for."

"He found me." Xiang Shu originally wanted to tell Che Luofeng that without Chen Xing, he would have died in a dark dungeon where there were no peach blossoms or spring breeze, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything , only briefly mentioned the days of going south, and finally said: "It is due to fate, you are right, An Da, Chen Xing is the kind of person I like, no, it is the 'that person' I like."

Che Luofeng said: "Oh? Have you found your dream? Do you want to marry him? He may not agree yet. Otherwise, why are you still worrying about gains and losses? An Da, I remember that since childhood, whatever you want , you will try your best to get it, but I don't think he agreed to you?"

Xiang Shu was startled, and frowned, he didn't expect Che Luofeng's eyes to be so sharp, he could see through his anxiety at a glance.

"This has something to do with you?" Xiang Shu was a little annoyed by Che Luofeng's words, and suddenly remembered the voice behind the tree.

"I just happen to be the one you think, the right one, the one you think you should marry. You don't understand that you should give this ring to a—make your heart pound when you see him When I got up, I always wanted to find an excuse to talk to him more, and when I saw him with other people..."

Xiang Shu didn't know why, every time he was nervous along the way and wanted to confess to Chen Xing desperately, this sentence would sound in his ears inexplicably, as if he had rejected him in advance.

It is clear that Chen Xing is the perfect lover who has existed in his heart since he was a child, and who makes him go through fire and water and wants to spend his whole life with him.But this idea is always lingering, as if warning himself at any time, Chen Xing will definitely not accept it, maybe he will use the same words to reject him mercilessly.

He couldn't help but tried again and again, but he still couldn't get a response. They only knew each other for half a year, but Xiang Shu seemed to feel that he had been rejected by Chen Xing for the rest of his life. This feeling really made him very frustrated.

Che Luofeng said: "Forget about that Han man. If he likes you, he will tell you. You just want to live in the south, don't you? I'll accompany you. Zhou Zhen is dead! I don't want to see him again! I will gather my people and let you leave Hara and Lin, let’s go to the south, to Jiankang! Go to the south of the Yangtze River! Tell their emperors to give up the place where they live, and let you be the emperor of the Han people!"

Xiang Shu suddenly grabbed Che Luofeng by the collar: "An Da!"

Che Luofeng couldn't help panting, Xiang Shu threatened in a low voice: "Zhou Zhen used to be your lover! You have to face it yourself! Whether he is dead or alive, you have to give an explanation to the people!"

However, Che Luofeng pushed Xiang Shu away, and almost became angry from embarrassment: "He has become what he is now! He is no longer him, he is not even human!"

Xiang Shu said angrily: "You have to see him too! Send him away with your own hands!"

There was fear in Che Luofeng's eyes, when suddenly a voice sounded from behind the tree.

"that……"

Chen Xing said anxiously: "I..."

Xiang Shu and Che Luofeng immediately separated, pretending that nothing happened.After being stunned for a short while, Che Luofeng came back to his senses, and was instantly ignited with anger.

"Han man, are you eavesdropping on us?" Che Luofeng put one hand on the handle of the knife.

However, Xiang Shu imperceptibly stood in front of Chen Xing and Che Luofeng, and raised his eyebrows to signal Chen Xing to say.

"I just want to tell you that King Akele is much better." Chen Xing said immediately, "I didn't hear anything, I just came here."

"I can testify," said Na Hao, who was walking Chen Xing's dog by the hand, "he did come."

Item statement: "..."

Chen Xing said again: "King Akele has something to tell you."

Xiang Shu then took a look at Che Luofeng, and followed Chen Xing calmly.In the bedroom deep in the palace, King Akele had regained his sobriety and explained what happened intermittently.Sure enough, it is about Yuduo.Nearly half a month ago, the Akele people discovered the trace of the living corpse heading south, and the direction of travel was exactly from Karosha to the place where the Akele people camped, Balikun Lake.

King Akele was on the alert and led the guards of the clan to defend closely. He discovered that the leader of the Ba army was the eldest son who had died and was buried in Mount Karosha, Yuduo!

But the target of that gang is not himself.Yudo just took a look at his father from a distance, and then led the group to Balikun Lake.King Akele immediately ordered the whole family to leave the lake and evacuate to the high ground several miles away. He rushed to the lake in person and found Zhou Zhen was casting a spell, launching a shocking scene.

"Did you see him?" Xiang Shu held King Akele's hand tightly.

King Akele nodded, and Zhou Zhen used a rattle to summon thousands of bones in the lake.The bones of cattle and sheep, elephant bones, leopard bones, and the pale skeletons of birds, like the waves of the lake, surged up to the lake one after another, forming an army of white bones.

Chen Xing immediately remembered Zhou Zhen's resurrected bones when he was in Hara and Lin last time.That pile of bones turned out to be summoned from the lake!No wonder!In the cemetery in Yinshan, there is no way to find so many bones!

And just behind Zhou Zhen, there was an altar, on which appeared a hill-like object covered with animal skins.

Yudo tried to rush to the island and attacked Zhou Zhen, but was repelled by the Bone Army because of too few troops.Seeing Zhou Zhen's appearance, it seemed that he still wanted to catch Yudo. King Akele finally couldn't hold back anymore and joined the war to rescue his son.

It was a great battle between the Babi Army and the White Bone Army. The only mortal who witnessed this encounter was King Akele.

Yuduo took the opportunity to escape from the battlefield temporarily, and then Zhou Zhen abandoned the altar on the island and pursued it himself.King Akele was seriously injured and tried his best to go to Hara and Lin, and finally passed out in the wilderness bushes.

"Save Yudo." King Akele begged.

Xiang Shu frowned, and replied, "Scouts have been dispatched and are searching along the wilderness."

King Akele nodded and fell into a deep sleep. Chen Xing knew that the drowsiness this time was caused by the drug, so the two let him have a good rest.Xiang Shu explained to the guards, and returned to the bedroom with Chen Xing.

It was already dark, and after dinner, Chen Xing saw that Xiang Shu just couldn't sit still, and he was also a little anxious.

"What is Zhou Zhen guarding?" Xiang Shu asked with a frown.

Chen Xing was also at a loss. According to King Akele's description, the thing that Zhou Zhen personally guarded must be very important. It was about ten feet long and six or seven feet high. It was placed on the altar like a hill, and it might be the corpse of some animal. ?But now that Wang Ziye has an army of animal skeletons, what is Zhou Zhen still preparing for?

"Maybe it's the remains of a monster," Chen Xing guessed, "It's probably used to deal with Hala and Lin."

Xiang Shu got up, Chen Xing hurriedly said: "Sit down first, I know you are worried about your clansmen, but now you are in a dark place, where can you find them?"

"What kind of monster?" Xiang Shu looked at Chen Xing.

"I don't know..." Chen Xing frowned, "The direction Xiao Shan and Sima Wei left happened to be where the Akele people were. Maybe they could find out something. Xiang Shu, your people need you, now Never, never leave Hara and Lin, don't go anywhere, promise me."

The last time Che Luofeng fell into a demon, Chen Xing couldn't get rid of it and was suspicious, but as long as Lu Ying was safe now, he would rather not go anywhere and wait for Zhou Zhen to come to attack the city.After experiencing the chaos in Chang'an, Wang Ziye urgently needed to replenish the new army. The hundreds of thousands of Hu cavalry in the city were the best supplementary materials for the Ba army.

When Xiang Shu heard this, he suddenly felt something, and stared at Chen Xing.

Chen Xing: "?"

Chen Xing didn't notice it, and analyzed: "From the description, this guy is not too big. Perhaps Zhou Zhen dug up the bones from the burial place of some monsters. It has been many years since Wanfa passed away. Now, there must be many monsters in the northern land... But what I can be sure of is that our opponent is not a dragon, and the dragon cannot be so small."

Xiang Shu was upset, and said "um", Chen Xing was already a little sleepy, since they returned to the city, the weather had visibly cooled down to the naked eye, and the temperature dropped extremely quickly in autumn, and the wind passed through the halls of the palace, There was a bit of biting chill.

"Sleep." Xiang Shu said.

There was only one room in the palace that was cleaned out, and no one had lived in it for nearly a hundred years. Chen Xing and Xiang Shu were used to living in a tent, so they took off their clothes and lay down on the simple floor.

"Go to sleep too," Chen Xing said, "You are the most tired on this journey, and you have done so many things non-stop after arriving in Hara and Lin."

Xiang Shu's spirit has been tense since he entered Chilechuan, and he gradually relaxed after entering the city. Yesterday he first called a meeting of various ministries, and after a busy night, he leaned against the corner of the palace and fell asleep. He was able to lie down tonight. Take a good rest.So he also took off his clothes and lay down beside Chen Xing.

"It's going to be very cold at night," Xiang Shu said, "The cold wave is coming, so we have to wrap up the quilt."

Chen Xing then folded the two quilts together and slept closer to Xiang Shu, and suddenly found that they slept together except when they went to Chang'an on the way, which is probably the case with the so-called "get out of the same car, sit on the same seat".Maybe the Hu people don't mind too much, but in the habits of the Han people, it must be a friend with a close friend and a person who has a deep friendship to do such things.

Xiang Shu glanced at Chen Xing, signaling to come to sleep.The air leaks from all sides of the room, which has a biting meaning.Not long after Xiang Shu lay down, he glanced outside again uneasily.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the whistling wind pushed and pulled the tightly closed windows and doors, making a burst of noise, and the lights in the hall flickered on and off. Compared with Fu Jian's luxurious palace, it was a different scene.

"Life outside the Great Wall is hard," Xiang Shu said suddenly, "It's no better than Chang'an, let's make do with it."

Chen Xing was fascinated by the dome illuminated by the lights. The golden paint had already faded, but he could vaguely see traces of the glory of the heyday in the former Dragon City Xiongnu Palace.

Chen Xing suddenly laughed, Xiang Shu turned his head and gave him a strange look, the two looked at each other, Chen Xing's face was slightly flushed.

"Why," Chen Xing thought for a while, and asked, "You didn't move to Hara and Lin, but chose Chilechuan?"

Chen Xing remembered that Shulu's family had a lot of money, if they moved to Harahelin and repaired the palace well, they would have a fixed residence and would no longer have to live a nomadic life.

Xiang Shu replied, "Climate reasons."

Chen Xing let out an "ah", and Xiang Shu moved uncomfortably in the quilt. After a while, he simply lay on his side, facing Chen Xing. Chen Xing's heart was pounding, and he also turned sideways, pillowing himself arm.

So the two faced each other and stared at each other.

Xiang Shu looked into Chen Xing's eyes and said intently: "Some years outside the Great Wall, it will be very cold, accompanied by snowstorms, the most severe time is called 'cold year', there may even be seven or eight months in a year when you can't grazing."

"Ah." Chen Xing was very surprised.

"A large number of cattle and sheep froze to death..." Xiang Shu adjusted his posture, just like Chen Xing, he also pillowed his arm, bent his knees, and unconsciously touched Chen Xing with his bare feet under the quilt.Xiang Shu's feet were big and very warm, and the scorching breath from his whole body brought Chen Xing into the sphere of influence of warmth in the freezing weather.

"...the river is frozen, and the snow line of the glaciers has dropped," Xiang Shu said in a daze. "Even the birds in the sky have decreased. In the coldest year, wild geese don't even fly over the Great Wall."

"Is that so?" Chen Xing didn't know at all.

"That's why 80 years ago, Liu Yuan crossed the Great Wall and entered the pass to plunder." Xiang Shu said, "The Huns were the first to survive. Hara and Lin were on the mouth of the Guangyuan River. Once there was a strong wind, it would be like today. It is not suitable for long-term residence like a sudden cold."

Chen Xing said: "Only Chilechuan, facing mountains on three sides, can resist the cold."

"Yeah." Xiang Shu said, "They all want to move south and enter the customs to rob you Han people."

Chen Xing looked at Xiang Shu quietly, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to go?"

"What do you think?" Xiang Shu was a little unhappy when he heard this, and asked back.

Chen Xing: "What I asked was 'do you want to go to the South', not 'do you want to rob'."

Item statement: "..."

Chen Xing: "Of course I know you are not such a person."

He could feel that Xiang Shu also liked the south.

"I'll take you to Jiankang in the future," Chen Xing said, "It's different from the south you've seen."

"Why are you so sure that I will go with you?" Xiang Shu asked casually, "The lonely king is the Great Chanyu, with so many clansmen to support, it's not easy to just leave."

Chen Xing said, "You can come as a guest."

Xiang Shu: "Isn't your home in Jinyang?"

Chen Xing thought for a while, and when he was about to explain to him, Xiang Shu moved his left hand, showing his little finger outside the quilt, and Chen Xing smiled and hooked him.

Xiang Shu looked into Chen Xing's eyes and said, "Your eyes are black like my mother's."

"Aren't you too?" Chen Xing said, "Your eyes, ah! There is a little gold in your eyes!"

Chen Xing seldom paid attention to it before, but at this moment, the two of them were very close, and he noticed that there was a subtle golden brown in Xiang Shu's deep pupils, which he couldn't detect unless he looked closely.

Chen Xing got closer, and Xiang Shu's breathing became quicker, and he looked down at Chen Xing's lips. After a while, Xiang Shu was a little embarrassed by Chen Xing's first look. He closed his eyes, turned his head sideways, and put his hands on his own. chest, said: "Sleep."

Chen Xing moved towards Xiang Shu and leaned against his shoulder. Xiang Shu didn't take the initiative to put his arms around him like before.But the wind outside the palace sounded like the sea breeze on the boat that day, blowing up and down, making Chen Xing's heart flutter.

He really wanted to go up and kiss Xiang Shu's side face, and it took almost all of his strength to suppress the thought in his heart, all the past was like a dream, but it was already a matter of the previous life.Chen Xing didn't know where Xiang Shu's feelings towards him came from last time, but what King Akele said today shocked him greatly.

Xiang Shu is also like Tuoba Yan in the past, longing for a Han Chinese lover?Then on the day of Late Autumn Festival, if I said that I rejected Tuoba Yan, wouldn't that be the same as rejecting Xiang Shu?

If time went back in time, Chen Xing would have told Xiang Shu plainly that it wasn't like this!He was even willing to risk the consequences of being beaten and kiss him.As long as there is a kiss, there is no need to say anything, and the choice is left to Xiang Shu.But now, Chen Xing didn't dare to do anything, only hated himself for becoming cowardly again.

"I had a lot of dreams." Xiang Shu was unaware of Chen Xing's little thoughts, and suddenly said again.

"Huh?" Chen Xing just wanted to make up his mind, and when he got closer, Xiang Shu's words interrupted his train of thought.

Xiang Shu's eyes were not opened, his eyelashes shone faintly under the dim light, and he said: "The dream is not accurate, it seems to be a dream in a dungeon, but I remembered it later, and it seems to be earlier, Can’t remember, hard to say.”

"What did you dream about?" Chen Xing asked.

"A lot." Xiang Shu opened his eyes, looked at Chen Xing with doubts, and said, "I dreamed that I chased you for some reason and left Chilechuan, and when I came back, Chilechuan had been burned down... ..."

Chen Xing: "!!!"

"I also dreamed of the ancient love tree under Chile River." Xiang Shu said, "The day after the late autumn festival, you were also in Chile River, and it snowed."

Chen Xing's heart beat stronger and stronger, and he remembered it!Can he remember them all? !

He didn't dare to interrupt Xiang Shu, and only let him recall, maybe in this dark night where the cold wind was howling, Xiang Shu would suddenly be enlightened and recall all kinds of past events!

But after not listening to Xiang Shu's answer for a while, Chen Xing cautiously asked: "What else?"

Xiang Shu said to himself: "I also dreamed of Tuoba Yan and handed you a ring. What's going on?"

Chen Xing thought to himself that it's okay if you remember anything else, how come you have lived the whole life and still not forget to be jealous of Tuoba Yan?

"I heard it from my mother when I was young," Xiang Shu thought for a while, and said, "In the northern land, there is a deer god who guards the dreams of the whole world. I don't know if I can find it, but I can ask it... That's all, there is one." Let’s talk about it again.”

Chen Xing remembered that what Murong Chong said was also related to "dreams". When the memory is clear, people can recall the past, and when the memory is blurred, it turns into a dream.Maybe Lu Ying can really solve it?

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it was very comfortable to sleep with the sound of the wind on your pillow. Chen Xing was tired for days, and soon fell unconscious, and Xiang Shu was also fast asleep. However, when it was almost dawn, a burst of noise woke them up.

"A spy has been caught!" shouted outside.

Xiang Shu immediately sat up, Chen Xing was sleepy, and a scout came in outside. Seeing that the two had just woken up, Xiang Shu was half naked, blocking Chen Xing behind him. So, we caught this guy in Chilechuan."

Then, Tuoba Yan, who was tied up all over the place, was brought in.
