wind geese

The moon rises from the sea of ​​clouds, and sprinkles light like broken jade on the water.The waves beat against the beach slowly, and in the camp near the sea, the noise gradually died down, the torches flickered, and the flags fluttered and danced in the wind.

In the night, a melodious singing sounded, and the clean and clear tone carried a faint sadness, and it was introduced into the camp——

"The moon bends and shines on Kyushu, some families are happy and some are sad.

How many couples are in the same tent, and how many are wandering outside? "

Luo Xunfeng sighed softly on the bed, and the hand he was holding moved slightly immediately.

He and Su Yu were lying face to face, and when they opened their eyes, they met Su Yu's gaze.

"Aren't you asleep?" Luo Xunfeng asked him.

Because of his injuries, Luo Xunfeng also fell into a light sleep. He felt a layer of cold sweat on the hands they clasped, and for a moment he couldn't tell who it was.

Su Yu blinked in the dark night and asked, "Are you woken up?"

"Well," Luo Xunfeng listened again holding his breath, and said, "It's strange, how could someone in the military camp sing such a song lamenting the joys and sorrows and the suffering of the common people?"

"Maybe it was sung by the young lady on Jiaozhu Island." Su Yu said, "I'll see what's going on."

"Wait a minute," Luo Xunfeng pulled Su Yu who wanted to get up, and asked, "Are those young men also arrested?"

"Some died in the artillery fire, and some were captured. I brought Li Lan back."

"You mean Sha Chongtian's favorite pet 'Li Lan'? You brought it back?"

"Yes." Su Yu said, "After Sha Chongtian escaped that day, I found Li Lan in the secret passage. It seemed that Sha Chongtian wanted to take him away with him, but we disrupted the plan." Li Lan told Luo Xunfeng about her plea for help, "He is also a poor man, so I brought him back together. Master Fang said that we will interrogate together before making a decision."

"Oh..." Luo Xunfeng seemed to want to say something, but held back, he stretched out his hand to grab Su Yu's back, but Su Yu trembled violently.

"Did I touch your wound?" Luo Xunfeng hurriedly put down his hand.

"Uh...it's okay..." Su Yu took a breath, and the hand that was not being held secretly tightened the bed sheet.

Luo Xunfeng didn't dare to hug him again, and held him with one hand, gently kneading his slender fingers, caressing the thin calluses on his fingertips.This is definitely not a weak hand. It has distinct joints and is full of strength. It belongs to a man who can hold a sword and kill in blood. At this time, this hand is so quietly handed over to him.

"Do you love and pity those weak men?" Luo Xunfeng asked suddenly.

"I..." It's not that I didn't hear a trace of specialness in Luo Xunfeng's tone, but Su Yu couldn't figure out what it meant, and just replied honestly, "Master Fang interrogated those young men who were sent by Liu Kingdom three years ago. Sha Chongtian, they are all citizens of our country. When they were young, when Ryukyu invaded our coast, they were taken captive and became slaves. They were bought and sold. Li Lan..." Su Yu pursed her lips.

"What?" Luo Xunfeng squeezed his hand.

"I saw Sha Chongtian whipping Li Lan..." He stammered and told Luo Xunfeng what he saw that night.

Luo Xunfeng was silent for a while, then sighed, "Sha Chongtian has such a habit, it seems that he suffered from that Li Lan. Well, I forgive you."

"Master, did I do something wrong?" Su Yu hurriedly asked.

Luo Xunfeng pulled his hand to his chest and pressed it against his chest, secretly raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I forgive you for looking at that Li Lan's body."

"I didn't, I only saw his back at that time, and he left soon..." Although he felt puzzled, Su Yu explained in a flustered manner.

"Oh, so you still want to look at the front?" Luo Xunfeng deliberately teased him.

"Young Master!" Su Yu called him in a slightly angry tone, and stopped talking.

"Call me 'Xunfeng'," Luo Xunfeng said, "Or, do you want to see my front?"

"..."

"Choose one quickly." Luo Xunfeng insisted.

"Choose what?"

"Do you want to see mine or his?" Luo Xunfeng asked with a hesitant smile.

It was the first time that Su Yu realized that his young master had become such a rascal, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "You, your..."

"Haha..." Luo Xunfeng laughed, and the laughter sounded particularly smug.

Su Yu rolled his eyes helplessly, but something suddenly flashed through his mind. He felt a tightness in his throat and said, "Xunfeng, I was on the island at the time. The night before my identity was exposed, Sha Chongtian sent A young man came to reward 'Ding Qi', I didn't pay attention to that young man at that time, could it be that Sha Chongtian saw that I was not really Ding Qi?"

"No." Luo Xunfeng said categorically, "I was discovered because I showed my secrets. This matter is too embarrassing. I don't want to tell others. Su Yu, you won't blame me, will you?"

Su Yu held Luo Xunfeng's hand tightly, and said, "How could Su Yu blame you? There are too many unexpected accidents about lurking, so don't take it to heart."

"That's what you said." Luo Xunfeng said softly, he took Su Yu's hand, and kissed it on his lips.

After a while, Su Yu said, "Xunfeng, the singing is gone."

Luo Xunfeng listened and said, "I guess they were stopped by someone. Singing this kind of ditty in the military camp can easily arouse the soldiers' homesickness. Those who lead the soldiers will not allow it."

He saw the young man frowned slightly.

"Tomorrow, I will go with you to have a look. If there is nothing wrong with these young men, I think we can let them go back to their hometown." He said to Su Yu.

Su Yu nodded, his brows stretched.

"Su Yu, do you still remember where your hometown is?" Luo Xunfeng asked, "I have seen your file in the shadow hall before, but there is no record in it."

"I...was sold to the villa since I was a child. I don't remember my hometown or anything." Su Yu shook his head slowly.

A trace of sadness flashed in Luo Xunfeng's eyes, and he quickly said, "It's okay, then come and settle in Suzhou with me, remember? I told you that I have a house next to a private school, and I can hear The sound of students reading."

Su Yu's deep eyes sparkled, "But the villa..." he asked.

"Oh, yes," Luo Xunfeng smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, "Then we will live in the villa first, and when we get old, we will go to Suzhou to live in seclusion, living in seclusion in the city, happy and carefree, okay?"

"Okay!" Su Yu's eyes were extraordinarily bright in the dark night.

Luo Xunfeng couldn't help but reached out and rubbed his head, then withdrew his hand, both of them had smiles in their eyes.

"Sleep, Su Yu," Luo Xunfeng said, "Good night."

"Xunfeng, good night." Su Yu said.

……

Outside the wooden prison where the prisoners were held in the camp, there were bright lights. Several soldiers stretched their hands into the fence, with greasy smiles on their faces.

"Come on, let Grandpa touch it."

"The little song is good, let's sing another one, and then sing a cheerful one."

"What are you pretending to be ashamed of, aren't you just a rabbit master to be touched?"

Inside the fence, a few young men sat on the ground with disheveled hair and disheveled faces, facing the soldiers' hands in embarrassment, shrinking back, but they didn't dare to dodge wantonly.

Among them, only one person looked at the soldiers outside the prison coldly the whole time, and suddenly said, "Masters, Li Lan has already sung a song for you, can you let us sleep?"

"Want to sleep? Which one of us do you want to sleep with? Hahahaha——" the soldiers laughed.

Li Lan frowned, clutching the hay on the ground.

"Do the military masters have to treat us like this?" He asked.

"What happened to you?" the soldier asked.

"Although the status of Li Lan and others is humble, it is because of the war that the homeland was destroyed and enslaved. We wholeheartedly want to escape our fate and start a new life. I thought you were all men who defended your home and country. Ordinary men are generally wretched and dirty, Li Lan really looks down on you!"

"Brother Li, don't talk anymore!" The young man at the side hastily pulled him away.

But it was too late, the faces of the soldiers outside the prison turned black instantly, one of them took off his waist knife, closed the scabbard and threw it at him——

"you wanna die!"

Li Lan looked up at the dropped scabbard, with a disdainful smile on the corner of her mouth.

The young lady next to him screamed in fright.

scabbard--

It stopped three inches above his head.

A cry of anger exploded——

"What are you doing!"

"Lieutenant Lin, Lord Fang?!" Several soldiers turned pale with fright when they saw the person coming.

The man known as "Lieutenant Lin" grabbed the saber and snatched it backhanded, hitting the ground heavily.

Several soldiers immediately fell to their knees.

"Let you watch the camp at night, you are here to molest the captives, and treat the discipline of our army as a trifle?!" Lieutenant Lin scolded several people.

"Captain forgives! Captain atones!" Several people kowtowed.

One raised his head, pointed to the prison door, and said, "Yes, they seduced us!"

"Ah, that's right, it's these young men who want to please us with singing, and exchange some food benefits from us." Another person echoed.

"No, no..." A young man in the prison said to the outside.

Li Lan sneered towards the outside of the prison.

"Where's the food? Where's the benefit? Could it be that you guys dared to release these prisoners just because of a ditty?" At this time, Fang Zehao walked forward with folded arms and asked.

"Get out of here, everyone, get fifty army sticks!" Lieutenant Lin stopped the sophistry of several people, and ordered punishment.

Several soldiers left here with their tails between their legs.

Lin Duwei pointed to the other party in the prison and said, "Master Fang, how do you think about how many people are in this prison?"

Fang Zehao glanced into the prison, against the backdrop of the fire, the man brought back by Su Yu obviously had the same weak figure as the others, but his eyes were straight on him, like a orchid on the edge of a cliff, with an expression of Intertwined with despair and stubbornness.

Fang Zehao touched his nose with his hand, and rushed into the prison to ask, "Do you know that your singing today disturbed the Holy Majesty's rest?"

The despair in "You Lan"'s eyes deepened, he knelt down, and the other party said loudly, "My lord, it is the villain who is singing tonight, and it has nothing to do with the others. If you want to punish, punish Li Lan." One person. Please forgive me, don’t punish others.”

"Brother Li..." Several other young men knelt down one after another, sobbing and not daring to speak.

"Hmph, you can figure it out, I'll go and see the execution over there." Captain Lin snorted impatiently, turned and left.

Fang Zehao walked to the prison door, squatted down, and said, "Li Lan, haven't you been begging me to let you go? Now there is an opportunity for you to ask the emperor directly, do you dare?"

"..." Li Lan raised his head, his eyes were slightly cocked and charming, but at this time his eyes were extremely firm, "Li Lan, thank you for your help!"

……

The next morning, Fang Zehao brought Luo Xunfeng a summons from the Holy Majesty.

The preparation time was very short, Su Yu helped Luo Xunfeng tidy up her hair crown, and put on an indigo dark pattern embroidered robe. A lot has been covered up.

He accompanied Luo Xunfeng to the tent where the Holy Majesty was temporarily staying, but accidentally saw Li Lan who was being escorted by soldiers and was approaching from a distance.

"The little song he sang was heard by the Holy Majesty last night. It was a little song that was passed down in his hometown when Tai/Zu raised his army. Tai/Zu has always liked to listen to it. After hearing what happened to these young men, the Holy Majesty wanted to meet this song Qu Zhi." Fang Zehao said to Luo and Su, he looked up at the sky, and smiled slightly, "Today may be a day of amnesty."

He led Luo Xunfeng to the entrance of the tent, turned around and said to Su Yu, "The Holy Majesty only summoned Brother Luo, just wait outside the door."

"Wait for me here." Luo Xunfeng nodded at him.

Su Yu nervously watched Luo Xunfeng walk into the tent.

Li Lan was quickly taken in, and before entering the tent, he bowed deeply to Su Yu.

……

Su Yu stood on the side of the tent, like a dedicated guard.

The shadow of the sun under his feet moved a little bit, and the hand hanging by his side had been clenched and loosened countless times.

Waiting, it turns out that it can make people suffer so much.

He stared at the door tent intently, looking forward to the moment when Luo Xunfeng opened the door and walked out.

Before anyone came out, two people who wanted to enter the door waited.

"Open the door for me." The speaker had his white hair tied up meticulously, his aging face looked too fair, and he was wearing an inner court uniform that was different from civil and military officials. His voice was a bit shrill, and a man followed closely behind him A tall soldier wearing a helmet and armor, the soldier lowered his head, holding a tray with one hand, on which brocade clothes and jade robes were stacked.

"Eunuch Cao!" Several guards at the door bowed their heads to the visitor and helped him open the door curtain.

Eunuch Cao looked around and saw Su Yu standing not far away, and his eyes met for a moment.He quickly retracted his gaze and stepped into the door.

The soldiers behind him clung to him and wanted to enter together. The guard at the door hesitated and reached out to stop him. Eunuch Cao stomped his feet and said, "Presumptuous, he took the clothes that the emperor will change later. If you touch it, you will pay for it." up?"

When the guard heard this, he immediately stepped aside and let Eunuch Cao and the soldier enter the tent together.

Su Yu stared at the scene in front of him, the moment the soldier walked into the tent, he caught a glimpse of the man's hand holding the tray, the skin was black and red, covered with blisters——
