Full Article Chapter 28: Returning Together
"I thought you wouldn't come!" I looked at the white-clad man in front of me and revealed a bitter smile. He didn't say anything, he only looked at me quietly, his amber eyes contained a touch of warmth, he reached out his hand, his fingertips rose up and slightly touched my cheek, I softly closed my eyes to feel those few points of warmth.
After that night, I waited for him for five days in Beiyuan, from day to night, just sitting stupidly at the stone table where we both used to drink, but he didn't show up, and only then did I realize that I had hurt him so badly.
"Am I punishing you, or myself?" He suddenly wrapped his arms around me and choked in my ear.
"I'm sorry!" I whispered, enjoying the pain from his tightening arms. It was a long time before he released me and asked in a low voice, "Why are you walking alone? Where are the guards?"
"I folded back alone, not realizing you were actually here!" I smiled down and somewhat shyly paddled the ground with my foot.
He cupped my cheek and kissed me tenderly, "Night, can you come back next year?" His voice trembled slightly with anticipation and suppression.
I pulled out a bright green bamboo flute from my arms, and he froze, reaching out to take it. "This one's better made than the one you gave me back then!" I said with a soft smile as I wrinkled my nose at him.
"You made it?" He was a little excited, "What do these engraved foreign words mean?" He was happy as a child and I couldn't help but kiss the corner of his mouth before turning to my horse.
He raised his head to look at me reluctantly, I stretched out my forefinger and middle finger on my lips and gave him a flying kiss, then laughed and raised the whip, the horse's hooves raised dust, I turned around and waved to him, "If I'm still alive next year, I will definitely come back ......"< /p>
Cause loving you has made my life so beautiful
Sichuan Governor's Mansion
"The Miao people live in the danger, brisk cliffs and apes wall, non-human traces can be reached. Outside the strong flag, wrenching aid a steep slope, has been gasping can not act, and can with the pursuit of the creep ...... "I coldly looked at the mouth in front of this foaming general, he said are bullshit, I want to be the elimination of the Miao fortress of the way, not to listen to him to me to set out the facts, reasoning, tell me that the Miao fortress can not be attacked.
"Yue Zhongqi, drag him out, give me thirty lashes, and don't appear in front of me for a year!" I spread out helplessly in my chair, teetering my legs on the desk, and there was a commotion from the generals below. Quietness was restored again after I swept my cold eyes for a week.
I barred my fingers on the desktop, and after a long time, I raised my head and said, "Divorce!" Yue Zhong Qi jumped up all of a sudden, a little excited, "Subordinate understands!" I raised the corner of my mouth and sighed in my heart, there is still a smart person after all.
The muscles of Bo Shuo's face twitched, his eyes glistened with blood, a murderous aura enveloped his body, while the perpetrator in front of him was full of smiles and thrusting spit at me, I hugged Nian Fu into my arms and looked at this little fool with a little concern.
"How many more days are you going to sleep with him?"
"I don't want to, you just saw it, he cries when Castle hugs him!"
As soon as he grabbed him from my arms, like a chicken, I hastily made a gesture with my hand to catch him, afraid of a slip-up!
"You think I don't know? That damned girl secretly pinches him every time she hugs him, do you take me for a fool?" I looked at him with my mouth wide open, he found out about this? I just want to spend more time with my son!
He blew out the door in a gust of wind and came back empty-handed, bolting the door heavily and lunging at me viciously!
I still remember that day I was full of dust on the official road to Shu, before reaching the outskirts of the city, I saw a black stallion standing in front of me from afar. "Master, Bo Shuo has come to welcome us." Yue Zhong Qi's words were mixed with a bit of ambiguity, I glared at him and drove my horse forward. In the setting sun, his eyes burned, and there was an unconcealable delight and love on his face.
"How long have you been waiting?" My horse crossed over to him and went straight ahead. He followed close at the side, turning his head to look at me from time to time.
"Half an hour!"
I heard a warmth in my heart, after so many years, no matter what the weather is like, what the location is like, he always waits for me silently, and whenever I ask him how long he has waited, he always has the same phrase: "Half an hour ......"
I lay in his arms, poking his hard pecs with my fingers, one at a time, matching the beating of his heart. "I came back from the capital this time with many goodies, what do you want most?" He put my pounding hands to his waist, looked down to smell my hair, and said hoarsely, "You!"
"Other than that, what do you want most?"
"You!"
I pinched him hard with my fingernails, listening with satisfaction to his sibilant huff, and backhanded a letter from under my pillow, "A note from the Fourth Master, promoting you to the rank of Seneschal!" He reached out to snatch it, then threw it a long way away, rolled over and pressed me into the bed, mouthing slurred, "Don't!"
"Why?" I gasped a little at his pressure and reached out to grab his unruly palm.
"When you become an official you're the court's, and I just want to be yours ......"
The words disappeared into his kisses, and on that day I knew that I could no longer let go... ...
"What about the people who were sent there?"
"It's working well, a few of the fortresses have had a few fights!"
"This is a good thing to do, you and then let people go to feel their bottom, pick out a few big and medium power, we plan to help a few, remember to think of them to beg us, posture must be high, don't tell them to see the cracks, but also just to extort a sum of silver!"
"I understand!" Yue Zhong Qi retreated out, I poured a glass of water, moistened my throat and turned to look at Bo Shuo:
"What do you think of him?" He leaned against the window and watched Yue Zhong Qi's distant figure, frowning slightly, "Just a Qing lackey!"
The war with the Miao clan is in full swing, according to my plan to first use countermeasures to alienate the relationship between the clans, and then foster small and medium-sized power of the clans, and with their strength to attack the powerful Miao border tribes, so that overcomes the defects of the terrain is not familiar with.
The Hmong have "five real Miao" said, that is, the family name of the Peng's, Shu's, Xiang's, Ran's, Tian's, I led five thousand soldiers attacked the Miao border for six months, has been successful in pulling out a few large forces of the Hmong fortress, and with the clan to the clan of the most intense fighting, the Miao tactical fighting skills are better than other ethnic groups, but also a revered freedom, emphasizing self-consciousness of the nation, to the Hmong, and to the Hmong, and to the Hmong, and to the Hmong, and to the Hmong, and to the Hmong, and to the Miao.
The most fierce battle with the Xiang clan is the Miao people, whose tactics and fighting skills are superior to those of other clans, and who advocate freedom and emphasize self-consciousness. The resistance of the Xiang clan can be described as "tragic", and because of their fierce resistance, they lost half of their troops in a month, while the worst is not only that, but also that I, who have been healthy for more than twenty years, fell ill after being exposed to the pestilence of the Miao land.
"Miasma only southeast of the domain is there, miasma dead can not be counted, the official moufu service death is also more than half, horses and more miasma death ......" Bo Shuo all of a sudden rushed to that doctor in front of him, grabbed him by the collar, roared loudly: "You mean is not hopeless?" That doctor was scared by his two feet soft, trembling more than: "The old ...... old man ...... try ...... to do his best! ......"
"Bo Shuo, shall not be unreasonable ...... "I weakly leaned on the soft couch, eyelids seem to have a thousand pounds, these days muddle-headed ground, the high fever never goes down, headache is splitting. What's worse is that I'm so sick, my morale has been greatly reduced, and I'm losing the battle.
"Boshuo, come here!" I beckoned to him with great effort, he hesitantly let go of that doctor and walked towards the soft couch, wrapping me into his arms, that doctor, seeing this, hurriedly clamped up his medical box and swiftly exited the tent, he wanted to get up and chase after him, but I stopped him. "It's no use, let him go!"
Based on the symptoms these days, I'm afraid I've got malaria, a disease that had destroyed the ancient civilization of Ceylon, and I know how powerful it is, and I'm afraid I've hit a major hurdle in my life in these ancient times where medicine is backward.
"Bo Shuo, the medical skills here are backward, I still have to go back to the city earlier to have hope, but this war now can't go forward or backward, how to be good?" I leaned in his arms, my heart was a little apprehensive, this disease is contagious, I have always objected to him being so close to me, but he only took it as a whisper, good thing he is in good health, I have also taught some preventive measures to the soldiers below, so no one has been infected so far. Maybe I'm the only one the heavens want to punish, so that's good.
"I'll send you back to the city tomorrow!" He wrapped his arms more and more into me, his voice low.
"No, once I leave, it will be a failure, how can I explain to the dead soldiers?" I shook my head helplessly, I was unable to leave.
"I am here, give me your horse and put on the same armor as you, you are me and I am you, you just need to live well and wait for me to bring back the head of the Tusi." He buried his face into my hair with a thick nasal sound.
"Bo Shuo, promise me, don't send me away, you and I said that day, from now on I don't leave you behind, you must not leave me, the world is big, no matter where to go, you and I have to go together with the same ...... "A burst of drowsiness attacked, thoughts lax, cheeks A piece of warmth, seems to have hot liquid sliding down, hazy hear Bo Shuo choked voice: "go with the same return ...... must ......"
My disease is getting worse and worse, a day in the Most of the time is unconscious, Bo Shuo only take away a small elite troops, will leave the majority of the people to prevent the sneak attack of the Miao people.
I don't know how many days, I heard the sound of cheering outside the tent, I was no longer able to open my eyes, I only felt that someone picked me up, the air was filled with a thick smell of blood, before consciousness disappeared, leaving a familiar and hot and wet kisses on my lips ......
"At that time, I only saw a piece of Wind and sand, we all froze, thought it was the Miao people killed, panic into a group, to be that figure slowly close, I fixed my eyes to see, that is clearly the master's white horse, my big brother sitting on the horse, covered in blood, behind him those brothers and he was the same, my mother, we only thought it was to see the God of killing, never seen a person will have so much blood, at that time, the big brother, he threw from the horse, the head, the head in the air, and the head of the body, the head of the body, the head of the body, the head of the head, the head of the head of the head of the horse. head, the head in the air flipped for a few weeks, crashed to the ground, bone rolling all the way to my feet, I looked down, this is not the fucking to the old man! I immediately picked up the head, high above my head, shouted ......"
"Okay, okay, you just shut up, the master's disease has just got better, can't stand up to you make so much noise, and again, how many times have you said that? Tired of it!" Qingcheng glared at him fiercely and sat beside me to fan me.
The teenager in front of me scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm here to look for big brother ......"
I let Qingcheng pass him some snacks and said with a smile, "Bo Shuo he's in the west wing's practice room. "
The boy thanked me and ran out excitedly.
"Master, it's not like you don't know that stinking stone is avoiding him, you still ......" Qingcheng complained a little about me. I picked up the cup of tea and smiled at her, "I see this monkey boy is quite good, Bo Shuo side should also have some thoughtful people." Thinking of Bo Shuo's heart was warm, at that time, for the sake of my illness, he was considered to have offended all the doctors in the whole city.
"Feeling better?" Bo Shuo sat on the edge of the bed, handing over the bowl of medicine, I pinched my nose and gulped it down, hurriedly looking around for candied fruit. Bo Shuo smiled and shoved the preserves into my mouth, his eyes full of favor.
He took off his shoes and got into bed and wrapped his arms around me, and I leaned against his chest and whispered, "Twelve men picking on a fortress of eight hundred, huh?" He didn't say anything, just played with my fingers. "Looks like I'm going to have to give up this seat to you!" I said jokingly, but drew his dissatisfaction, he blanked me twice and said with some concern, "Ran away with one!" I was surprised to see him, he slowed down, and then said, "The daughter of the Toastmaster ran away."
I held his hand and said comfortingly, "Forget it, what's coming will always come, even if you killed the whole village, so what? God's will is so, we'll just face it together!"
"Ye'er, when I saw you that day, I really thought you would go like that ......" He embraced me, unable to stop trembling, and did not hide the fear in his heart. I reached out and stroked his cheek, pulling out a smile, "I told you, go together and return together!"
Ming Xiangge
Bo Shuo and I went upstairs and looked around, the furnishings were quite elegant: bamboo reclining chairs, a small square table, a three-piece head-covered tea set, a tiger stove, and a purple copper kettle, and I laughed as I found a seat by the window. "This Sichuan people say 'few sunny days in the sky, more teahouses in front of me', I didn't care about it before, but now that I've strolled around it's really like that." Seeing us sit down, the fellow was busy to greet.
"Boshuo, what do you want?" He frowned and said coolly, "Whatever!"
I said to Xiao Er in a good mood, "Water from the heart of Yangzi River, tea from Mengding Mountain!" Xiao Er will smile, look back and yell: "on the tea le ......"
I curiously watched the tea guests "Dragon Gate", talk, laugh, really life! I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
"It is said that in Fushun City, there were three great tycoons, namely, Tong million, Wang Baidu, Ai half-city. Tong's family has millions of assets, Wang's family has eight buckets of gold and silver, Ai's family has a half-city houses and so on. Ming Dynasty in the construction of Fushun City, Ming border officials must force these three families to pay to repair the city can not. The old Tong family was very reluctant, so the top did not want to take the money. Because Tong is Fushun rich, powerful, Ming border officials do not dare to provoke them, so they came up with a government-run a poorly run, will close down the pawnshop to extort money. Unable to do so, the Tong family had to spend a lot of money to top down this pawnshop, gave the Ming border officials a large sum of money to repair the city before forgetting ......"
"Bo Shuo, let's sit over and listen to it?" Bo Shuo gave me a blank look, full of reluctance, I bristled and had to stretch my neck.
"After the pawnshop was opened, business was quite prosperous due to the Tong family's good management. One day, a Ming Dynasty border official got drunk and lost his money, so he ran to the pawnshop to get drunk and borrow money from the pawnshop. The pawnbroker said: 'This is a pawnshop, not a money changer. The border official said: 'Get me the money first, and I'll get you something later.' Buddy said nothing to refuse to borrow, so angry that the border official really want to rob, but in the way of the Tong's power, had to go away in frustration. Not long after, the border official carrying 14 pairs of armor to the pawnshop, grumbling, once in the door, shouted at the fellows: 'Laozi these armor can pawn how much money?' Originally, the armor was sent to the pawnshop to become a 'dead pawn', and it was impossible for anyone to redeem it. Buddy also want to push back, do not want this thing, but he saw this Ming border official drunk, the waist also sat on the big knife, heart some fear. Helpless, he took out a hundred taels of silver, beat the invention of the army away. The border official left, never came to the pawnshop to redeem his armor. In this way, these 14 pairs of armor really became dead pawns, and were thrown in the Tong family's warehouse forever, never to be asked for again."
"And then what happened?" The people beside him asked what followed in a chorus of questions.
"Later, ah, there was a teenage long laborer who was recruited by the Tong family as a human granddaughter-in-law. The young man's father and ancestor were killed by the Ming army, the young man was furious, in order to avenge his father's and ancestor's revenge hate to rise up the army, playing the flag of unification of the female true and overthrowing the Ming dynasty. Just rise in need of some weapons and equipment, Tong family old man then remembered the home of the pawnshop has 14 pairs of armor, one of which has been broken, he scratched and pulled to make up half a pair, so that he will be the 13 half armor loaded on the wagon, personally escorted to the North Lazhoubei, given to the grandson in law, to create the conditions for him to rise in the army. This longtime laborer was Qing Taizu Nurhachi!"
I "Teng" stood up, beside the Bo Shuo startled, puzzled look at me.
"What happened to those armors?" I rushed to the storytelling old man in front of him, he mimicked a mouthful of tea after shaking his fan slowly said: "those armor after so many wars naturally destroyed most, but the legend seems to have left two pairs, at that time, Qing Taizu in order to commemorate the two pieces of armor will be treasured, who knows one day was his two sons saw, those two children were the most favored at that time the children of the big consort, the two children were also very loved. The Great Ancestor also loved them very much, and after explaining the origin, he bestowed the armor to them."
My body went weak as I listened, and I felt that everything around me was starting to get weird.
I lay down on a bamboo chair in the courtyard, looking at the painting in my hand into the moonlight, lost in thought. Suddenly, there was an emptiness in my hand and the painting was jerked away, I looked up and Bo Shuo was frowning at the portrait in his hand. "What is it?" He walked over and returned the painting to me, reaching out to pick me up horizontally, "How many times have I told you, the night is cool!" Still lost in my own thoughts, I stared intently at the portrait. It was a ferocious man-beast. "Bo Shuo, this is the Night Fork, the guardian deity of the Buddhist world. The Night Fork is fierce and courageous in nature, always full of fighting power. The Night Fork was born with a dual personality, both cannibalistic and Dharma Protector ...... Bo Shuo, do you know what a dual personality is?" Looking at his puzzled eyes, I sighed, wrapped my arms around his neck, and said quietly, "Bo Shuo, we must go back to the capital this year!"
I began to frequent a very small church on the corner, and anonymously send them money and goods, Yin Zhen's matter let me start to re-examine the world, although my own accident has let me have a reverence for the ghosts and gods, but this time the matter let me inexplicably fear, I am truly afraid, for myself, but also for the Yin Zhen, if my conjecture is right, then waiting for me will be what? Waiting for this Qing and what is it?
