An
old friend
of Changfengsan sighed: “Never mind the end of the song, people gather and disperse
.” Twenty-four-year-old Shih Ching-yun became the first female general of this Dynasty, but she also became a “Tigress” that men avoided.
But she wasn’t thinking about her marriage either-her heart died five years ago when her sweetheart, Lu Zijun, died.
So she really couldn’t figure out how someone could take the initiative to marry her to the emperor, but the emperor agreed.
The emperor’s order could not be disobeyed, but on the wedding night, Shi Qingyun still ran away.
Because Wang Ye Xue Wei, who married her, was too similar to Lu Zijun.
1)
On her first day of marriage, Shih Ching-yun once again topped the list of “Songcheng Gossip.”.
She not only kicked Wang Ye out of the house on the wedding night, but also packed her bags and ran away.
Her brother woke up in the morning and saw her sitting in the room, yawning and nearly dislocating her jaw.
“Isn’t this nonsense?” When her mother heard the news, she was so anxious that she tore off the beads in her hand. “Getting married isn’t like marching and fighting. How can you just leave?”. Hurry back before your father and the emperor know!
“I see, Ah Niang.” Shi Qingyun rubbed her face hard. She knew she shouldn’t have come back when her brain was hot, but she still couldn’t accept the fact. “I’ll go back later.” “You didn’t provoke him, did you?” Asked
Mrs. Shi Fu doubtfully.
「…… No, Ah Niang, don’t think too much.
Shi Qingyun thought about what happened last night and rubbed her nose with a guilty conscience.
Mrs. Shifu touched her forehead lightly with her finger and called the servant to fetch something. “Take these things. If the palace asks, just say that Ah Niang insisted that you come back and fetch them. Don’t let him blame you.”
Yesterday, after worshipping the hall, Shi Qingyun waited in the room and almost fell asleep. Just listen to the noise gradually, the door of the house “creak” open.
“Wang Yeh, we can’t afford to make trouble in this bridal chamber. You’d better go in by yourself.”
She closed her eyes and thought, “You know each other.”.
Wang Ye did not know what to say and burst out laughing. He came in and shut the noise out of the house.
She was still trying to figure out how to get through the night with a reason, and the hijab was picked up.
Looked at the face close, suddenly no sense of sleepiness. The person in
front of her was so similar to the one she had missed in her dreams countless times.
But Lu Zijun’s eyes are always firm and tender, while the eyes of the people in front of him are somewhat cunning.
This made her unexplained annoyance come out of her thoughts, and she kicked her reflexively. As a result, the fragile prince stumbled directly into the door and fell into the crowd of eavesdroppers outside.
He lay on the ground and shook his hand. “The princess’s feet are itchy. Take me to practice my feet.”
They looked at Shi Qingyun sitting on the bed, quiet as a chicken, scattered quickly.
Her face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Then Wang Ye was shut out of the door.
Tossing and turning in the middle of the night, she couldn’t sleep, so she slipped into the backyard and ran out of the stable with a horse.
My heart is beating very fast.
Since the death of Lu Zijun, Shi Qingyun has never had such intense emotional ups and downs.
Lu Zijun was four years older than her, and in his early teens, he was just beginning to be trained by General Lu, and Shi Qingyun was watching.
Her parents asked her to learn needlework, but she refused to let go of the red-tasseled spear that her uncle, General Lu, had placed beside the wall. General
Lu looked at her and let out a hearty laugh: “Now we have a rival!”
Lu Zijun did not care about his father laughing at him, but quietly went into the room to find the golden sore medicine, sprinkled it on the back of her hand, which she had accidentally scratched, and returned it to her.
But she thought it was Lu Zijun who wanted to grab something from his hand and gave him a slap. Memories
that have been lost for a long time come back. Slowly condensed in her heart, and finally clearly revealed the appearance of Lu Zijun.
Shi Qingyun hung big bags and small bags on her side, walking on the way back to the palace, but the shadow of Lu Zijun in her heart lingered, and slowly coincided with Xue Wei, the prince who lifted the veil yesterday. Ancestors of
the Xue family helped Emperor Taizu create the Song Dynasty, and were granted the title of one of the three foreign kings, with hereditary titles. The three foreign kings were in charge of Dongcheng, Beimo and Jiangnan. The emperors of the previous Dynasties had weakened the power of the other two foreign kings in order to consolidate their position. Fortunately, the Xue family lived in obscurity in Dongcheng and has maintained it until now. The emperor could not refuse the proposal of the court
‘s meritorious officials, even if she was the only female general in the Song Dynasty, she had no choice.
But now the first day of marriage to escape, although do not know what punishment to face after returning to the palace, but fled, Shi Qingyun decided to simply go shopping.
Anyway, she had never been to Dongcheng, and no one knew who she was on the way. The cries on both sides of the
street rose and fell one after another, and she led her horse through one stall after another, feeling that the life full of fireworks was like a lifetime ago.
She stopped in front of a jewelry store. There were many hair ornaments
on the table, but she took a fancy to a pale yellow hairpin flower. It
looks like the one that Lu Zijun wore for her. Although
the west wind is the border, it is different from the north desert, which is full of rolling yellow sand. There is green grass everywhere, and when resting, Shi Qingyun likes to ride a horse for a walk.
Lu Zijun said he found something he had never seen before. They rode to the stream and she found that it was full of unknown flowers.
“I think girls of this age wear hairpins at home, but I haven’t seen you wear them, and I don’t know what you like.” He found the most delicate one among the flowers he had
picked, pinned it clumsily to her ear, and took her hand, both of them blushing.
When the war is over.. Let’s get married.
……
“Shopkeeper, I’ll take this hairpin.”
A voice suddenly came in Shi Qingyun’s ear, interrupting her memory.
The next second, she was wrapped in a hug, and a bony hand came from behind her and handed the silver to the peddler.
It’s Xue Wei.
She was inexplicably resistant to this embrace, but thinking that she had caused trouble last night, she had to try to restrain the impulse to do it herself.
Hsueh Wei took the hairpin from the shopkeeper and stuck it in her bun. “Look, madam, staring at this hairpin, she can’t move her eyes. She didn’t even notice me coming to her side.”
After joking about it, he looked at it carefully for a while. “The color chosen by the lady is a little plain, but it’s particularly suitable.”
Shih Ching-yun took a step aside and pulled away from him. “How did you find me?”
She remembered what had happened last night, after all, she had sneaked out of the palace, and now she had been caught red-handed.
Fortunately, Xue Wei seems to have no intention of pursuing it.
“With Hsuan Hsueh next to her, I can recognize her no matter how weak my eyesight is.”
Xuanxue was the horse she led out. It was black all over, with only a crescent-like white mark on its neck, so it was named Xuanxue. Shi Qingyun touched its neck, and it sneezed happily. The attendant
standing aside couldn’t help but interject, “The princess doesn’t know something. Xuanxue has a bad temper. She doesn’t let outsiders touch her on weekdays. Sometimes she doesn’t even recognize the prince!”! Once Wang Ye drank too much, it also knocked Wang Ye down, almost fell Wang Ye can not walk. Oh, I’m talking too much.
Xue Wei, with his back behind him, gave his entourage a hard knock with a fan.
Lu Zijun never takes a fan, nor will he be thrown down by a horse. Shi Qingyun thought for no reason, and then looked at Xue Wei, the dislike in his eyes immediately increased by three points.
2)
Shi Qingyun misses the time in Fengxi Battlefield. The tiger’s mouth, which was often hard on
her hands, was worn out layer after layer of cocoons, and she did not cry out for pain.
Now let her take the needle and thread to embroider, but make her lose her temper.
Perhaps seeing that she was already restless, Xue Wei took the initiative to take over the needle and thread.
“I know your ladyship can’t stand all this. It’s all right to put on a show to outsiders. You don’t have to pretend to be so virtuous in front of me.” Shih Ching-yun was aware
of Hsueh Wei’s good intentions, but when she finally heard this, she couldn’t help but grumble, “Is it possible that I don’t have anything to do with Hyun-shu?”
I don’t know if it was a fit of pique, but after a while, Shi Qingyun decided to start learning painting and calligraphy.
In her words, “wielding a pen and splashing ink has the artistic conception of wielding a knife and a gun.”
Hearing this, Xue Wei immediately stood outside Shi Qingyun’s door with a pile of paintings and calligraphy in his arms. The
artist smiled kindly and said, “If you want to paint a portrait of a princess, why don’t you start with the people around you? I think Wang Yeh is a good choice.”
When Hsueh Wei heard this, he looked at her with joy on his face. “If Madame needs me,”
he said, “will you draw for him?”
When Xue Wei did not make an expression and sat in front of Shi Qingyun, what she drew on her hand and thought in her heart was entirely Lu Zijun’s appearance.
Lu Zijun has a pair of peach blossom eyes like Xue Wei. When Shi Qingyun was training in the barracks, the happiest thing was that Lu Zijun squinted his peach blossom eyes and praised her swordsmanship with a smile. At that time,
she went to Fengxi with Lu Zijun to train soldiers. On the battlefield, he protected Shi Qingyun, pointed out the essentials of her movements, and always bandaged her personally when she was injured. The people in the
barracks had a lot of opinions at first, until Shi Qingyun convinced them, all respected her three points, and no one dared to be dissatisfied with her identity.
Later, when a new recruit entered the camp, he mistook her for someone else at the dinner table on the first day, and called her “sister-in-law,” which made the people around him burst into laughter.
“Look at Brother Lu. He’s really spoiling my sister Yun like a wife!”
Shi Qingyun threw down the chopsticks directly, put down the person who spoke a big horse to lie down, other people also even cry for mercy.
Her hands are not forgiving, in fact, she is very nervous. Looked up to the main seat, just to Lu Zijun’s smiling eyes, she hurriedly removed the line of sight, but her face burned up. He didn’t retort
until the end of the meal. On the battlefield
that day, Lu Zijun was shot by a long arrow in the sky, and his horse fell in front of her. Shi Qingyun was red-eyed and tried her best to cut off the head of the enemy general with a long sword. When she turned back to look for him, he was dying.
She took his hand, got him on his horse, clung to her back, and galloped into the camp.
Her hand had never trembled so, and she could hardly hold the whip.
The horse galloped through a mud pit, Lu Zijun half opened his eyes, and with all his strength could only pull her clothes very lightly, telling her that it was not necessary.
Don’t worry, I will save you! I will save you!
She did not look back, and there was a cry in her eager voice, but she fought back the tears.
You have.. I’ve done a good job. Lu Tzu-chun said in her ear, laughing, “You must.” To become the Great Song.. The most amazing.. General..
Shi Qingyun suddenly reined in his horse and roared, and the military doctors hurriedly carried Lu Zijun down. But when she opened the tent door again, the military doctors just shook their heads at her.
She pulled away and slowly collapsed on her knees. She reached out and stroked the blood and dust on Lu Zijun’s face, but finally she could not restrain herself and bent over him and burst into tears. She was nineteen years old
that year, and the person she loved since childhood died in front of her.
Painting is unable to go on, Shi Qingyun withdrew his thoughts, endured the pain of memories, and Xue Wei said that he was not feeling well, then went back to his room to rest.
Xue Wei seemed to see something, and even without the banter of the past, he got up and walked to the place where Shi Qingyun had just stopped to paint. On the
drawing paper, shallow tears are still printed on it.
Even Wang Ye, who is out of favor and has no right, has his own temper and will definitely not allow his princess to think of others and use herself as a substitute.
Back in the room, Shi Qingyun recalled what had just happened and suddenly realized that perhaps Xue Wei was too indulgent to make her forget her situation-
after all, she had never met before, and Xue Wei would not use the remaining shade of the palace for no reason to ask the emperor to marry a hot female general.
But if it is for her prestige in the army and the military power in her hands, now she is a princess, the name and power in the final analysis depends on the grace of the emperor. Unable to sort it out
for a moment, Shi Qingyun did not continue to think about it. Anyway, the future is still long, but when we look at Xue Wei again, we can no longer regard him as Lu Zijun.
The next day, Shi Qingyun took the initiative to knock on Xue Wei’s study with tea.
But after a long time no one responded, she pushed the door open, but saw Xue Wei sleeping soundly on the collapse.
Shi Qingyun was a little dumbfounded and carefully put the tea on the table after approaching.
When Hsueh Wei woke up, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed to see Shih Ching-yun. “This is the first time your ladyship has come to the study to look for me.”
“You are a prince, but you are very idle.”
Hsueh Wei shrugged his shoulders and said, “There are three great pleasures in life: getting promoted, getting rich, and losing your father.”. I don’t touch anything. Of course life is boring.
Shih Ching-yun: “..”
That being said, after a few days, Xue Wei could not see anyone all day. When I
came back, I saw her with evasive eyes and a guilty look on her face. The little maid in the
mansion secretly said that Wang Ye was probably going to Hualou again, and some people smelled the powder on Wang Ye’s cloak.
Shi Qingyun didn’t care where he went. She recently met a little beggar in the evening market, and from his mouth she learned a lot about the strange things that had happened in Dongcheng recently.
The little beggar had no home, and every night he would go to sleep in the ruined temple in the southern suburbs of the city. But recently, when he woke up, he could always see the bodies of people who had died violently for no reason, and he was terrified.
The matter should have been handed over to the government for disposal, but when she looked at the body, she found that the method of disposing of the body was like the practice of Fengxi Frontier. There is a difference of thousands of miles between the
east side and the west side of the wind, and there has never been an intersection. Why does the handwriting there appear here?
In other words, why after she came, there would be people from the western frontier of the wind.
Shi Qingyun eyes a Rin, wrote a letter to the lieutenant.
From the end of the year to the first month of the lunar year, although Shih Ching-yun was not busy with housework for many years, she still helped her mother prepare for the Spring Festival when she was a child. It was during the time she was busy in the house that the little maids in the house found that she was not so unapproachable.
And for a time became the object of worship of many little maids.
“The princess can go up to the battlefield and down to the hall.”
Shih Ching-yun helped them peel the beans and threw one at the little maid who was speaking. “Don’t be garrulous,” she said. If I had put this in the barracks, I would have beaten you.
The little maid said “ouch” on purpose, which made the people next to her laugh constantly.
Shi Qingyun came out of the kitchen and happened to see a girl helping Xue Wei into the room.
“Who is this?”
“She’s Miss Meng Chih from Hualou.” The maid, who had just followed her in peeling the beans, curled her lips and said, “Wang Yeh has never been in good health before. She said she came to serve Wang Yeh, but in fact she relied on her beauty to stick to Wang Yeh every day.”
“Is Wang Yeh in poor health?”
No wonder he helped her pack the winter clothes in the house that day, and soon he began to be out of breath, saying that he was too cold in the house, which made him dizzy.
In this way, his body is not as solid as that of the people in the barracks, but it is too thin for adult men.
The young maid nodded, “Yes, Wang Yeh’s body is actually very delicate, and I can’t get angry. And when the maidservant came into the house, she once served the wrong dish to Wang Yeh, and was scolded by the housekeeper for a long time.”
Shi Qingyun watched Meng Zhi withdraw from the room, the smile on her face has not been taken back, the respectful eyes with three points of reluctance.
But when she looked up and saw them, she bowed only slightly and left quickly.
The young maid was immediately discontented: “When you see the princess like this, the palace is very formal, but she can’t be like this either!”
Shi Qingyun stopped her.
She doesn’t blame Meng Zhi.
Because once, she looked at Lu Zijun like this.
Tonight is fifteen, Shi Qingyun was invited to South Street by Xue Wei’s men.
But she regretted it when she got there. I don’t know why there were a lot of people around the riverside of
South Street. Seventeen took Shi Qingyun and squeezed in. Only then did she find a boat coming from a distance and stopping steadily on the shore.
The boat was two stories high, and the eaves of the first story were covered with lanterns, so beautiful that people could not move their eyes. On the second floor, I don’t know where to find colorful lanterns. Some people are singing and dancing on them. Most of them are girls from Hualou.
She just looked at the boat behind him. “Are you going to prepare for this these days?”
Xue Wei came down the stairs and held out his hand to Shi Qingyun.
“I’m not well prepared. I wonder if my wife would do me the honor of traveling with my husband.”
Today, Shi Qingyun wore a moonlight skirt, and the brocade was shining under the lantern. Although she only had a jade hairpin in her bun, it put the gorgeously dressed girls to shame.
In the eyes of the crowd, she put her hand in his.
Xue Wei took Shi Qingyun to the second floor of the boat and sat down. The table in front of him was filled with fruit snacks. Meng Zhi, who was well-dressed, came forward and poured wine for them. He smiled and stepped down.
Shih Ching-yun pointed to Inging and Yanyan in front of her. “They..?”
They are all informants trained by the Hsueh family. If you have to say anything, it is estimated that the Hsueh family has a share of all the flower houses in the Song Dynasty. Xue Wei’s eyes lingered in the lanterns.
“So, madam, if you hear a servant say that I’m in Hualou, don’t get angry.”
She slapped him impassively. “Let’s get down to business.” With a glass of wine in his hand
, Hsueh Wei took advantage of the sound of the lute and said, “Madam, what have you been investigating recently?”
“You must have heard about the southern suburbs of the city.” Shih Ching-yun clinked glasses with him and covered her face with her sleeve as she drank. “You and I should be thinking the same thing. Some people can’t stand it. They want this piece of land in Dongcheng.”
Xue Wei is not a real fool.
Shi Qingyun went to Xue Wei’s study to pay attention, which was so neat that she was surprised.
She also looked for an opportunity to turn over the book on the table, which recorded all the accounts of important shops, several of which were circled with a vermilion pen.
It’s all from a pawnshop. At the beginning of each month, someone pawns an item and redeems it at the end of the month, and the pawnbroker offers the same fixed amount of money from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. There must be something wrong
in it. I haven’t found out the
real spy yet, so I came up with this bad plan. Today is so noisy that everyone’s attention is on the boat. If the people of Biansha are really mixed up in it, they will certainly take action.
Xue Wei seemed to see something, and as soon as he finished speaking, he pretended to be drunk and poured it on her.
Madam.. My husband smiled when he saw you today. Feel in a good mood..
Xue Wei said this on his lips, his fingers dipped in the water in the teacup, and wrote on the table:
Coming.
Shi Qingyun saw what he had written.
She supported Xue Wei with a stiff smile and kept searching in the crowd with her eyes.
Until she saw a figure flash across the stairs, a figure dressed as a dancer wrapped in a cloak and disappeared into the crowd.
Shi Qingyun wanted to stand up and chase, but was pulled by Xue Wei.
“When it comes to arresting people, a general can do it, but the status of a princess is not appropriate.” Hsueh Wei beckoned, and the woman came forward again with a flagon. “Meng Chih, tell Seventeen to go with someone and ask for a live one.”
He turned his head and smiled at the corners of his mouth.
“After business, madam, let’s talk about personal matters.”
The boat opened to the river, and the vocal music did not stop.
Shi Qingyun stood up and pushed open the window. The wind diluted the fragrance of Rouge and made her mind clear. Standing behind her
, Hsueh Wei said softly, “It’s a tradition in the past. On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the people of Dongcheng will comfort the dead.” Floating on the
river, Shi Qingyun fixed her eyes on it and saw that it was the people on the street who put the lanterns into the river. They followed the water and entered the boundless night, illuminating the way home for the soul. Thinking of her life in Dongcheng these days
, Shih Ching-yun looked at the river and said leisurely, “I never imagined what it would be like to take off my armor completely one day.”
I know what is in your heart. But what I want to tell you is that life and death are not just about fighting, and life is a beautiful existence.
“So take a break. Besides life and death, you still have the whole world.”
She has been used to the west of the wind everywhere full of killing life, some people live in the border and turbulence, the victory or defeat of the war is life and death, their shoulders are responsible for the safety of the whole Song Dynasty.
But in Dongcheng, she realized that life and death could also be a simple happiness.
Xue Wei opened his hand to her, and in the palm of his hand was her favorite maltose when she was a child.
His face became unusually serious, the mountains and rivers sank into his eyes little by little, and countless Kongming lanterns rose in the distance, illuminating the whole night sky with warm light.
Shi Qingyun was in a trance and confused again. The person she loved most when she
was young brought her an indelible mark, which had not been felt for a long time.
But now she knows.
「…… Sorry
Shi Qingyun pulled back her hand and did not pick it up.
She did not know who her heart was for, whether it was Xue Wei himself or his face similar to Lu Zijun’s?
It would be unworthy of both of them. She couldn’t face him in another way until she was
sure of her own mind.
Seventeen died in a ruined temple.
Xue Wei failed to hide this matter, after Shi Qingyun knew, personally led the person to recapture that night’s dancer. Inside
the palace.
Don’t you say? Your fate will be the same as that of the man you killed.
Shi Qingyun took out a piece of paper and put it in front of the dancer. Fear flashed through the
dancer’s eyes, but she shook her head strongly.
Shih Ching-yun smiled. “It seems that you really want to have a try. Then I can satisfy you.” When she
finished, she wrote a few more words and threw them into the dancer’s hands.
The dancer caught the paper and opened it slowly. “I know what you want to do,” was written on it in the words of Bian Sha.
She looked at Shi Qingyun, only to see a smile on her face, apparently waiting for her answer.
The dancer already knows that this woman is no ordinary person.
She gritted her teeth and said, “I’ll tell you.”. If you want to know anything, just look it up. If I know anything, I’ll tell you.
Shi Qingyun nodded and motioned her to continue.
She dared not hide any more, whether it was useful or not, she would tell the whole story.
She said a few words, has been staring at Shi Qingyun’s eyes, Shi Qingyun found wrong when the body has been unable to move.
The dancer looked thin and small, but her strength was so great that several guards could not restrain her. She pulled out the knife from her waist and waved it at Shi Qingyun, and the dagger plunged into her waist and abdomen.
Her eyes were as fierce as a wolf’s.
“If you want to know more, go to your next life!”
The dancer still maintained her expression just now, and an arrow suddenly appeared in the air, with a voice like a birdsong, hitting her heart.
Shih Ching-yun quickly hid herself. She covered her wound and pointed to the treetops not far from the mansion. A figure flashed across the treetops: “There are others. Go after them.” Before
she fainted, she heard the sound of hurrying footsteps coming towards her. Go
and ask for the Imperial Physician! Hurry up
Xue Wei originally in the Central Plains, know Shi Qingyun caught people immediately after the rush back, the results just entered the door to see her lying unconscious on the ground.
He picked her up, and the blood stained her robe and his hands.
Meng Zhi ran over and grabbed him by the sleeve. His eyes were red. “Wang Ye, your health is very important.”
“Out of the way.” Xue Wei glanced up at her and walked straight ahead. “If the princess makes any mistakes, all of you will be buried with her.”
Meng Zhi stumbled and fell to the ground.
She saw the coldness in Xue Wei’s eyes, and such a prince was so strange.
Several doctors came in a hurry.
Xue Wei put Shi Qingyun on the bed. After the treatment, the Imperial Physician told Xue Wei: “Report back to Wang Ye, the wound of the princess is not deep, and the loss of Qi and blood is excessive. I have already bandaged it up, and it is not a big problem at present.”. But the princess fainted this matter, I have a little doubt. The princess seems to have been poisoned.
Poison?
Hsueh Wei’s eyebrows wrinkled. “Is there a cure now?”
The Imperial Physician replied, “Your Highness, forgive me for my incompetence.”. The princess had no previous experience of being poisoned, and although this experience was not serious, her meridians, which had been damaged in the battlefield, had not fully recovered. According to the present state, the princess can wake up in three or five days or more. It’s hard to say.
Xue Wei turned to the Imperial Physician and said, “Give her my antidote pill.”
“Wang Yeh!” Meng Chih couldn’t help but step forward. “That’s what you need to save your life!”
“Do as I say!”
His eyes fell on Shi Qingyun’s pale face, and his heart was filled with self-reproach.
The Imperial Physician gave Shi Qingyun an antidote, and her cheeks began to turn red. Xue Wei sat on the edge of the bed, reached out his hand and stroked her face, feeling sour in his heart.
If he had noticed earlier, he might not have put her in such danger.
Meng Zhi sighed in her heart. She could see that Wang Ye loved Shi Qingyun very much.
However, his love is too heavy, and too depressed, his heart bears too much burden.
He was so tired that Meng Zhi did not know how long such a prince could last.
Xue Wei sat beside the bed, quietly looking at the people lying on the bed.
“You’re really good.” He opened his mouth.
Meng Zhi stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. “Wang Ye, don’t forget why you married her.”
That day, after Shi Qingyun left, Xue Wei went back to his room and lay in Hua Niang’s arms, teasing them, but in fact he didn’t look at any of them.
He carefully tasted the wine that Hua Niang handed to his mouth and remembered that the face just now was seven or eight points similar to the portrait.
Xue Wei had heard that Prime Minister Du was doing something in the dark, and the newly enthroned emperor did not know whether he wanted to take back his rights, so he had to start acting in order to keep Xue Shi.
In fact, as long as you check carefully, you can find that the power of the Xue family is like a thin and dense dark net, intertwined, spreading from outside the palace to inside the palace, only one step short of military power.
A few days ago, he investigated the background of all the generals and found that only Shi Qingyun’s interpersonal relationship was extremely simple, and he stayed in Fengxi almost all the year round. He looked at her portrait and thought about his next plan.
But I didn’t expect to meet Shi Qingyun here.
She came over with beautiful and sharp eyes.
It’s much more vivid than portrait.
“I remember, so I’m even more sorry for her now.” The development of
many things is beyond our control.
Like his feelings for her.
The late emperor and Prime Minister Du killed his parents, hoping that he would become a puppet when he was young, so that he could control Dongcheng and save his face and reputation at the same time.
Smooth and unrestrained is only his external, he understood from an early age that people’s hearts are dangerous, but the cocoon of their own, trapped is always their own heart.
He never wanted much, just to save the Xue family.
But some people don’t even want him to realize this wish.
At first, she just wanted to pretend to love Shi Qingyun and use her military power. But acting, it seems that I really can’t extricate myself.
Meng Zhi looked at him like this and felt a pain in his heart.
Xue Wei is the strongest man she has ever seen.
He was always smiling, not half sad, and never showed his fragile side in front of her.
But Shi Qingyun is special to him.
Because of her existence, let him have warmth.
Because of her appearance, let him have the meaning of life again.
His heart has Shi Qingyun, with concern, the whole heart has become rich and colorful.
Meng Zhi changed the subject: “Wang Ye, the princess’s injury has stabilized, why don’t you eat something first?”? You’re already weak, and if you go on like this, I’m afraid you’ll ruin your health.
Xue Wei shook his head. He had no time to take care of this.
He looked out of the window at the tiny snowflakes floating in the sky.
“Meng Chih, do you think I did something wrong?”
“Wang Yeh..” Meng Zhi hesitated and did not know how to answer. “Did you already have the answer in your mind?”
He continued.
Meng Zhi pursed his mouth and did not speak.
“Meng Chih, you don’t have to hide it from me. I know I did something wrong. I shouldn’t have let her suffer like this. I didn’t protect her.” He said to himself.
“That’s not true.” Meng Zhi shook his head and mustered up his courage to say, “Actually, Wang Ye, we shouldn’t think of her as a princess.”
“What?”
When Xue Wei heard what she said, his heart beat a few times.
“She is the general of Fengxi, born to belong to the battlefield.”
5)
When Shi Qingyun woke up on the third day of her injury, Xue Wei took a nap at the head of her bed and held her hand tightly. He woke up with a start when he
felt her trembling.
Her voice was hoarse: “The dancing girl thing..”
“Don’t worry, I’ve taken care of it.”
Hsueh Wei’s eyes were filled with exhaustion, but he couldn’t hide his joy when he heard her speak.
He chuckled, but his eyes were moist: “The first thing you don’t ask me when you wake up is how I’ve been these days. It’s really cruel.” During the months when
Shi Qingyun was recovering in the palace, the Imperial Physician came several times, saying that she had recovered very quickly and had not mentioned anything about the poison.
Wang Fu was so calm that she was suspicious. But Xue Wei did not want to reveal more, and she could only secretly learn that there was no follow-up about the dancer.
She sat at the drawing table in a daze for a long time. After
recovering, she received a message from her lieutenant saying that there had been a recent change in Bian Sha.
It was already late at night, and Shi Qingyun packed up the package back to Fengxi.
Then someone knocked at her door.
She sheathed the polished sword and opened the door with the candlestick.
Outside was Meng Zhi holding Xue Wei, and the smell of liquor mingled with the rainstorm diffused in the air.
“You stand down first.” Hsueh Wei raised his head and stared at Shih Ching-yun. “The king has something to say to the princess.”
Shih Ching-yun’s face did not change. “You’re drunk.”
“Better drunk than awake.”
Xue Wei raised his hand to grab the door frame, saw the sword on the table, and sneered.
“You see, you have to go after all.”
“Why?” Hsueh Wei looked into her eyes. “Why do I sometimes feel that you and I are like this layer of candlelight? You are right in front of me, but I can’t touch your heart.”
Is it because of Lu Tzu-chun?
The window was suddenly blown open by the wind, and the raindrops came in and wet their clothes.
A flash of lightning lit up half the sky, he suddenly approached, I do not know where so much strength, Shi Qingyun pressed on the wall, candles are extinguished by the strength of the two road.
She put her elbow against his chest and couldn’t break free for a moment.
“Why do I look so much like him?” His breath fell on her neck. “But I was never in your eyes!”
“Wake up!” Shih Ching-yun slapped him heavily. “I never treated you as if you were him, and you were never willing to be his substitute.”
“What’s more, if you marry me, isn’t it just because you want to use my military power to keep your position in Dongcheng?” Her words merged with the dull thunder outside the window. “What qualifications do you have to say such a thing?”
“Your ladyship knows my purpose, and I don’t know your ladyship.” His voice sank as he distanced himself from her. “Why would the emperor marry you and me without thinking?”
The central government is generally unable to manage Wang, and their territories have their own way of managing them, and they can report the general situation on time every month. But without the emperor’s incognito private visit, Xue’s abnormality would not have been found. The prosperity and harmony
of Dongcheng is an empty shell. This status quo cannot be maintained for too long, and there will be riots. Now that there is a more suitable law in front of you, you should have a choice. She looked up at him. “The emperor also wants to get rid of Prime Minister Du. Joining hands with him is the wisest choice.”
Xue Wei stroked the hair near her ear and said softly, “But is he really thinking of you and me?”
Shi Qingyun’s expression moved slightly.
Her reputation in Fengxi is expanding day by day, and it is inevitable that no one will write to the emperor to guard against her rebellion. But her father secretly belonged to the emperor’s faction, and if he really rebelled, the emperor would have someone in his hands who could coerce him.
This time Xue Wei specially went to ask for a marriage decree. The emperor was not a fool. He knew that everyone was eyeing the military power in Shi Qingyun’s hands. He wanted to win the military power under the guise of marriage.
The emperor learned that Prime Minister Du was extremely concerned about the advancement of the new law, but Xue Wei did not move, so he wanted to swallow Dongcheng as his own territory.
Xue Wei suddenly began to investigate the outsiders, must have noticed the prime minister du’s move.
The emperor hoped that Shi Qingyun could help him in Dongcheng to stabilize Xue Wei.
The condition is that he will help her keep the military power in Fengxi, and she can go back to be a general after she avoids the limelight.
Xue Wei coughed sideways and spat out a mouthful of blood without warning.
Shi Qingyun could not see in the dark, but she was sensitive to the smell of blood in the air.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Meng Zhi waited outside the door. She heard Xue Wei’s cough getting worse and worse. She wanted to push the door and go in immediately. Her voice trembled and tears almost welled up.
“Wang Yeh has been bewitched since he was a child, and he won’t live much longer!”
There was another clap of thunder. “Why haven’t you ever told me about it?”
Asked Shih Ching-yun.
“It’s the same whether you say it or not.” Hsueh Wei wiped the blood and said lightly, “No one can change my fate. You can’t change it, and neither can present emperor.”
“You already have proof of Prime Minister Tu’s rebellion. The emperor won’t touch you.” “Why didn’t you report this to the emperor?” She wondered.
The light flashed, and for the first time she saw the hatred in Xue Wei’s eyes.
“You only know that all the kings with different surnames, except the Xue family, have been eliminated by the emperors of the past Dynasties, but you don’t know that the late emperors have long had the idea of the East City.” His features cast shadows, adding to the sense of coldness. “I pretended to be an idle prince, as he wished, but every day I thought that one day I would kill him myself.”
But he died before I could do it. I know that the present emperor is very dissatisfied with what the late emperor did. Although he is the son of the late emperor, I have no quarrel with him.
“It’s just that I won’t trust the royal people anymore.”
Shih Ching-yun hesitated to speak, and finally sighed: “What you do is your choice.”
“Madame says I’m stuck in my ways. Isn’t that true of myself?” Xue Wei loosened her and said, “I am in the east, and you are in the west.”. You and I are just thinking about it.
Shi Qingyun’s hand holding the sleeve suddenly tightened. For me,
Lu Tzu-chun has gone far beyond the scope of a lover. If it wasn’t for him, I don’t know how many times I would have died on the battlefield.
But what is Lu Zijun in her heart? Is it the regret she lost forever when she was young, or is it just an obsession that she has been used to exposing her heart?
She doesn’t understand, and she doesn’t want to understand.
Xue Wei was right about one thing.
She is always too stubborn.
“So I can’t leave Feng Xi, and I can’t forget him.” Shih Ching-yun tidies up her clothes, raises her hair high, and regains the sharpness of a general between her eyebrows and eyes. “We’d better cancel our engagement.”
She picked up the package on the side, and Xue Wei suddenly hugged her from behind.
“I seem to be really in love with you.”
His voice was as dull as thunder outside the house.
“I can see that Meng Chih likes you.”
Shi Qingyun took his hand off his waist. She walked forward without looking back.
“She is a good girl who can be trusted for life. You must treat her well.”
Xue Wei didn’t chase him out. Meng Zhi stood there quietly with an umbrella
outside the door.
“He saved me from a pack of wild dogs during the war that year, so I was willing to die for him.” As Meng Zhi spoke, a tear suddenly fell from his eyes. “He and I have gone through life and death for so many years. Why did he finally marry you?”
“I know you are better than me everywhere, but if you love him, I won’t say anything more.”
Shi Qingyun’s lips trembled a few times, but she could not say a word. She just listened to Meng Zhi.
He has never been like this before me. I like him, I like his cleverness, I like his calmness, I like his determination. Meng Zhi said, looking at Shi Ching-yun, “But when you were injured, I never saw him panic like this.”
“You are really beautiful and capable.” As Meng Zhi spoke, a forlorn look appeared on his face. “He never put his heart on me. He never did, and he never will.”
Shi Qingyun rode all the way to the palace in the rain. Inside
the Wenhua Pavilion. Sitting in the room,
the emperor was not surprised by her sudden arrival. She knelt on one knee and told him about the dancing girl and what she had found in Prime Minister Du’s mansion.
She thought of their conversation and hesitated for a moment, saying only that it had been put in Xue Wei’s place.
“I hope you really want to help me.” The emperor looked at her with a meaningful look. “I will allow you to resume your official position, provided that you will not touch any personal feelings.” “In front of Your Majesty, Ching-yun says everything she knows,”
replied Shih Ching-yun with an expressionless face.
The emperor laughed a few times, patted her on the shoulder and motioned her to get up.
“I have my own decision about Dongcheng. You go on to be your general first.”
The outside had become misty and bright, and the air was still sticky and breathless.
Another thunder sounded in her ears, and she suddenly reined in her horse, looking at the endless rain, and the mood in her heart became more complicated.
I’m afraid the weather is going to change.
6)
On the seventh day after Shi Qingyun was transferred back to Fengxi, Bian Sha suddenly declared war, and she took command of the war.
The battle was caught off guard, and Shi Qingyun threw herself on the battlefield. For two years, she had not felt the pleasure of galloping on the battlefield, and the sound of swords touching together really awakened her soul.
She has always felt that Machiavellian, interest struggle, and even feelings are things she does not want to touch any more. For her, the beautiful, peaceful and unreal days
in Dongcheng were gradually blurred in the dust and smoke.
But she felt that this was a good thing, even if she died on the battlefield, there were countless old people’s souls as companions.
It was the end of October in a twinkling of an eye.
The wind had never snowed so heavily at this time in previous years. The snow almost blocked the whole mountain road. People and horses could not move their feet in the snow. They could not see things in the distance. Neither the sand nor the Song army could send troops to fight.
Song Jun’s supplies have not arrived, if not, they are afraid that they will not be able to hold out until the end of the snow. The generals
in the tent sat around and discussed the battle plan.
A small soldier broke into the tent and said, “Marshal, someone from the watchtower has sent back a message that a man with a group of people has come from outside. It doesn’t look like he’s dressed up as Bian Sha.”
Shih Ching-yun put down the book of war and said alertly, “Can you see it clearly?”
“I can’t see his face clearly, but the horse he was riding was quite special. It had a black body and white hair around its neck.” There was a sudden uproar
outside, and many Song soldiers walked warily through the tent door with their weapons.
But what came was her familiar and strange voice.
“The king has come at the emperor’s behest to bring you winter clothes.”
Shi Qingyun opened the door of the tent, and the cold wind mixed with snow fluttered on her face, blurring her vision. The man came through the wind and snow, and his cheeks and nose were red with cold. When
he got off his horse and looked at her, his eyes seemed to separate all the whistling, leaving only the two of them in the whole world.
Shi Qingyun came to her senses and turned around.
Lieutenant to see Shi Qingyun face is not right, hurriedly come out to smooth things over, side call people to get supplies, side main Xue Wei to the post to make the account go.
Xue Wei’s emotions were hidden on the surface, but when he came behind her, he said a word in her ear in a voice that only they could hear.
He said, “I miss you so much.”
Shi Qingyun took a deep breath and pulled his sleeve.
“Your Majesty has informed me of your decision.”
She suddenly turned and hugged him.
“Thank you for coming.”
That’s true.
In the first few years of Fengxi’s stay, she suffered a lot from lack of food and clothing, especially in winter, when the winter clothes looked good outside, but as long as there was a crack, you could see that the inside was filled with broken cotton wool.
She and Lu Zijun’s family can subsidize a little, but what about the children of other poor families?
They do not have good family conditions, do not have the quilts sent from thousands of miles away, their families still need military pay to make a living, and these military pay in the hands of their families, perhaps can not buy a few bags of rice. When
the first emperor was alive, Lu Zijun and her several letters fell into the sea, and the officials who handled the arms could not ask anything.
The storm came unexpectedly, if not for Xue Wei personally brought people to send the supplies allocated by the court in advance, I’m afraid the whole camp did not know how to spend the cold winter months. When she left the palace in the rain
that night, she felt uncomfortable in her pocket on the way. She took it out to see when she had been stuffed into a heart-protecting mirror.
In fact, he had expected that he could not keep her.
This is no longer the era of Xue.
He understands everything, but he pretends he doesn’t.
His obsession is too deep, she is not a saint, not sure to change him, simply pursue their own.
But she was taken aback by what the emperor told her.
Some time ago, the emissary sent her a secret letter, and the emperor said that Xue Wei had decided to work with her to deal with the enemies of Biansha.
She breathed a sigh of relief and looked forward to it. Instead,
Xue Wei was at a loss.
His armband was in the air, his eyes were enlarged in surprise, and he never thought that Shi Qingyun would hold him when they met again. He never contacted Shi Qingyun after the
rainy night. He had been so persistent in guarding the East City, if not for her words to wake him up, he might still be a person who just used himself.
Shi Qingyun left resolutely, leaving no time for him to regret. That night’s rain in his heart has not stopped, her words simply, magnanimously cut off their own demands of ambiguity, now he has no position to stand beside her.
He knew that the war in the frontier sand was urgent, and he was worried and dared not disturb her, so he could only ask someone to inquire about her occasionally.
But there was one thing he was always worried about.
Shi Qingyun wanted to make more winter clothes for the people in the mansion to keep out the cold before the New Year, but according to the climate of Dongcheng, too thick winter clothes were not suitable, but she looked serious to the point of stubbornness, and insisted on doing so, which aroused his suspicion.
He used manpower to secretly investigate the current situation of the army and the direction of the money allocated from the treasury in the past few years, only to learn that the local secret money was so serious.
Thinking for a long time, he decided to go to the Central Plains to talk to the emperor.
The last Dongcheng dancing girl, Shi Qingyun and he already have the evidence of Du prime minister and the border sand army. He used information in exchange for the actual control of Dongcheng, the emperor wanted to use his network of connections, let him do clean up the edge of sand corruption.
In order to see Shi Qingyun, he applied to the emperor for the transfer of supplies to take care of the whole process. But halfway to catch up with the wind and snow, he was afraid that he could not be transported to the hands of the Song army in the west of the wind in time, regardless of his physical discomfort, just all the way to speed up day and night.
He still doesn’t know what Shi Qingyun thinks of him, but.
Think of it as your last selfishness.
Xue Wei’s hand gently hugged her back and smiled and dropped a kiss on her forehead.
Shi Qingyun blushed thoroughly and pushed him away. Song Bing, who was
standing next to him, was so frightened that his eyes were about to fall out: “My darling, this is the first time I’ve seen the commander in chief show this expression in so many years!”
The whole camp was very lively because of this sentence. The red on
Shi Qingyun’s face had not yet receded, and for the first time he did not refute them, leaving Xue Wei behind.
They’re getting worse.
Xue Wei blinked and looked innocent.
But in fact, Shi Qingyun was like this, and his heart was even more flustered.
7)
Xue Wei stayed in the post tent. After the
wind and snow stopped, Shi Qingyun led people to train. Back in the camp, the bodyguard always told her that Xue Wei did not know what to do in the tent alone and stayed there for a whole day. The veteran in the
know looked at the marching tent and frowned: “Wang Ye and General Lu..”
“I know what you’re going to say.” Shih Ching-yun looks at the bonfire and bakes her hands without looking up. “But they’re different.”
The veteran did not say anything more, and all the people in the army who knew Lu Zijun were silent about their appearance.
That day Xue Wei felt his heart beating in a mess as soon as he got up. He hurried to Shi Qingyun’s marching tent, only to find that all the things she had put on the table were missing.
He walked quickly to the camp’s general ledger and asked, “Who has seen the commander in chief this morning?”
The generals looked at each other and said they didn’t see each other.
A veteran who did not answer seemed to think of something and suddenly became serious: “Today is the memorial day of General Lu.” Hurry up! Go to Beishan!
Xue Wei’s eyes darkened and his hand held the hilt of the sword tightly.
“The king will go with you.”
Shi Qingyun, as usual, took a pot of wine to sweep Lu Zijun’s grave before dawn. As a result, on the way back, I met a small group of border sand soldiers who were surveying the terrain. Shi Qingyun is highly skilled in martial arts, and it is not a problem to deal with them, but her shoulder was hit by the hidden weapon of the border sand army, and the wound was very deep.
The border soldiers forced her to the edge of the cliff. Seeing no way to go, a man suddenly appeared beside her and rolled down the hillside with her in his arms.
“Why are you?!”
Fortunately, the hillside was not high, and Shi Qingyun was held in Xue Wei’s arms and was not injured twice. At the foot of the mountain was a forest. She stood up quickly with her uninjured hand on the ground. Before Xue Wei could speak, she hurriedly pulled him into the secret passage built in the forest to hide.
She sealed the hole in the tunnel and lit the fire.
“Help me.”
Xue Wei looked at the ferocious wound on Shi Qingyun’s shoulder blade, which had formed a blood scab for too long, adhered to the lining, and torn again because it had just rolled down, oozing a little blood.
She took out a dagger, roasted it on the fire, and handed it to Xue Wei.
Xue Wei carefully cut her clothes with a dagger and smeared Jinchuang medicine on her shoulder.
Her hands clenched her clothes tightly, her lips were pale, and beads of sweat rolled down her hair.
She couldn’t cry, so she had to bite herself and bleed.
Now she unreservedly laid her past before him.
Xue Wei’s fingers stroked the large and small scars on her body, her throat moved, and she opened her mouth with difficulty and said:. Have you ever lived like this.. Have
you ever lived in danger like this and not forgotten to miss him.
She licked the bead of blood in her mouth. Every time she touched the wound, it was painful, but she tried not to let her voice sound too weak. “What is this? When I almost died in the house, didn’t I survive?”
“Why did you come here?”
“Your goggles aren’t here.”
The tunnel is so narrow that every breath can be heard clearly.
Shih Ching-yun roughly bandaged up the wound with her torn undercoat and frowned. “Do you know how dangerous it is to come out?” She asked.
“What about you?” Hsueh Wei withdraws his hand. His eyes are like a bottomless pool of water. Do you know how dangerous it is? Do you have to ask the entire camp to take this risk with you?
“I was not thoughtful enough.” “But I’ve come to say goodbye to him,” says Shih Ching-yun.
“I’m ready to try a new life.” She picked up the sword on the ground and said, “Let’s go.”
Until the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the border sand army did not move again, and Song Jun spent another New Year in the west of the wind. Had a reunion dinner together in the
barracks, after the end of Shi Qingyun took a pot of wine to the stable, Xue Wei followed.
She ate too much wine, but her eyes were bright in the moonlight.
They galloped all the way to the trees at the foot of the North Mountain. Twisting and turning, I found a place full of stones.
“Those buried at the foot of Beishan are all martyrs of the Great Song Dynasty.” Shi Ching-yun sprinkled the wine on the ground and bowed to the distance. The light of the fire in her hand looked so small. “If I know their names, I will carve them on the stone, but I don’t know their names.”. Some people couldn’t even find their bodies, so they used stones instead.
Xue Wei looked at her side face. He felt that Shi Qingyun was so close and so far away from him.
He had seen her heroism in training, her calmness in discussing with other generals, and her heartfelt smile in eating and talking with people in the barracks.
She is like a star falling on the vast grassland.
This is the life she chose.
She said, “I’m going to see him.”
Xue Wei lowered his eyes. He suddenly felt ridiculous, knowing who she was going to see, but this time he didn’t say anything.
She said goodbye to Lu Zijun, but finally she couldn’t let him go. She
turned to go, but she stopped him.
“You go with me.” The light in the
trees was dim, but she could find the road even with her eyes closed.
Shi Qingyun poured the last two glasses of wine, one in front of Lu Zijun’s tomb, one in his hand, and drank it down.
She bent down and fingered the cold stone tablet.
Brother, there are things.. Should I go and find out? The only thing that
answered her was the roaring night wind.
8)
When a wisp of green onion appeared on the prairie, the whole west wind became nervous.
Xue Wei wiped his face. He had just come back from surveying the terrain. Seen from a distance, there seemed to be someone waiting in front of the military tent. He thought he was a messenger sent by the imperial court, but when he got closer, he found that the group of people were dressed up as the frontier sand army.
He gripped the sword in his hand and asked, “What is this?”
“King Bian Sha has sent an emissary.” The guard in front of the tent bowed to him. “The commander in chief and the other generals are discussing in the tent.”
Xue Wei nodded, as if he understood something, took off his cloak and walked into the tent. The yellow oil lamp was lit
in the tent, and Shi Qingyun and the generals sat around the tent. Xu Zhuo, who came from the opposite side, was dressed in formal clothes and looked seriously at the sand table in front of them. It has been more than four years
since Xu Zhuo led the army to defeat in the first battle of Liangzhou. He came to persuade Shi Qingyun with the will of King Ulizi of Biansha, but she had already received a report from the dark line. Ulizi led eight thousand Qingqi to join the vanguard army, apparently to make a quick decision.
Shih Ching-yun was the first to break the silence: “We are outnumbered, and the matter of attack still needs to be discussed in the long run.”
This channel is of great importance. Now the officers of Bian Sha insist on being stationed on the riverside, and Ulizi believes that Bandu can take the initiative to attack. Xu Zhuo stood up and pointed to the positions of the Yi River and the two armies. “There has been a disagreement within Biansha. This is a heaven-sent opportunity.”
“Our army has already lost a lot of money, and the troops in the border areas are attacking fiercely. Before the reinforcements from Mobei arrive, if we attack blindly, we will die rashly. We should give priority to defense.”
Xue Wei stepped forward and placed the flag of the Song army on the Yi River. “The king thinks what this brother said is reasonable.”. The border sands are not yet clear about our position, and our army can take advantage of the right time and place to attack them with psychological tactics.
Xu Zhuo nodded his head and said, “Most of the vigor of Bian Sha comes from the vanguard troops.”. We are not superior in numbers, but if we manage to defeat their vanguard troops, we can take them down at one stroke when they lose their morale.
The candle suddenly jumped, and Shi Qingyun’s eyes flashed, apparently a little shaken.
The guard went into the tent and told Xu Zhuo that it was time. The loess outside came in through the gap with the whistling wind, and Xu Zhuo stood up, his cheeks flickering with the flickering light of the fire.
“Xu hasn’t come up with any other good ideas for the time being, so I’d like to ask you to think about it.”
He bowed deeply to the generals, with a little more bitterness and reluctance in his expression.
“It’s up to you to recover the lost territory.” How could
Xu Zhuo not know that Ulizi sent himself to show off his military power, actually using him to satirize the Song army.
He turned around, and a tent door separated him from the people in the tent in the night. The biting coolness of the
night wind came to my face, and the nasal cavity was filled with the smell of earth and charcoal fire diffused in the air. In the distance was the crisp sound of soldiers accidentally colliding with each other when they wiped their weapons.
He walked into the moonlight step by step, but never thought of his hometown, which he had not met for a long time.
On the way, someone in the border sand army behind Xu Zhuo raised his head, stared straight at him, and raised the knife in his hand.
She should have known Ulizzi wouldn’t make the March so easy.
The next day, Shi Qingyun led the army to break the border sand army while crossing the river, but his men did not find Ulizi, instead, they found Xu Zhuo’s body. She realized that something was wrong, but before she could withdraw, she was surrounded by the hidden frontier sand army.
Wu Liqi had already let a group of frontier sand army secretly cross the river and hide nearby, and after Xu Zhuo released false news, he killed him, in order to catch all the Song army in the west of the wind.
Let Wang Yeh pick up the reinforcements! Hurry up
Shi Qingyun pulled a soldier beside him and roared hard to split a blood road for him. The sound of
fighting, shouting, the sound of hoofs, and the sound of flesh and blood breaking. I do not know how long has passed, Shi Qingyun hand movements are about to numb, the nasal cavity is full of blood. There were fewer and fewer people around her, and those who were alive were still struggling to resist, but it seemed that the border sand army could not kill them all.
In the distance, the man sitting on the high platform looked at all this and laughed contemptuously, as if he were watching a game without suspense.
“Marshal, watch out!”
She was attacked by the enemy from behind. When she dodged, she fell off her horse and her helmet fell to the ground. She rolled around and stood up quickly. She raised her sword and killed the enemy who came forward. Warm blood splashed on her face, but she didn’t care.
“Mount up!” There was a long neigh of a
horse, and Xue Wei broke through the crowd and pulled her onto the horse’s back.
Reinforcements have finally arrived.
He thrust another sword into her hand. “Two swords suit you best.”
Shi Qingyun’s hair had been scattered, and she dismounted the enemy with two swords, easily cutting the man’s throat. Seeing
that the frontier sand army was losing ground, the Song army gradually gained the upper hand, and the people on the high platform finally could not sit still and took the bow and arrow to the battlefield.
“Watch out!”
Xue Wei suddenly reined in his horse, Xuanxue jumped up half of his body, and his front hooves could dodge a long arrow.
Shih Ching-yun’s brows were suddenly furrowed. “It’s him.” Ulizi, king of the kingdom
of Bian Sha. He is
also the one who killed Lu Zijun.
Ulizi stopped in front of them. He rode on a horse, like a beast in pursuit, as if he could eat them in the next second.
“I remember you. You were the little girl beside General Lu.” He took another arrow from the quiver and put it on the string. He tilted his head and looked at them. “It’s strange that the man behind you looks exactly like him.”
He grinned grimly and released an arrow. Shi Qingyun brandished two swords and broke the shaft in the air.
“How is that possible!” Ulizi looked at the arrow broken in two on the ground in shock. “An arrow never breaks when the sand is long. Why can you do that?”
“Because of his death, all these years I have been studying how to break through the long arrow.” Shih Ching-yun clenched the weapon in her hand, then suddenly clipped the horse’s belly and ran toward Ulrich. “Do you think I’ll make the same mistake this time?”
She failed to protect General Lu last time and must not let Xue Lang follow in his footsteps. Unprepared
, Ulizi was stabbed in the flank by Shi Qingyun with an arrow. When he fell off his horse, he grabbed her forward and pulled her down.
“Go and find General Shen!”
Xuanxue was frightened by this action and ran forward with Xue Wei. Ignoring his wound
, Ulizi took out a machete from his bosom and cut it at Shi Qingyun with a loud roar.
She tried to block it with her sword, but Ulizzi was so strong that the collision nearly shattered her mouth, the scimitar hooked the hilt, and her sword fell to the ground.
Ulizi threw Shi Qingyun down and stabbed her face straight down. Shi Qingyun used her elbow to resist and at the same time put her knee on his wound. Ulizi was in pain, and the machete deflected, cutting a cut from the corner of her right eye to her temples.
Shi Qingyun clapped her hands on his temples and quickly got up from the ground. She staggered to pick up the sword in the distance, her vision blurred by red.
She doesn’t have much strength left.
Ulizi slowed down to catch up, the machete cut through the air to make a sound, Shi Qingyun hurriedly dodged to the side, failed to pick up the sword. He punched her in the back again, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
“You’re just like him, and you’re all dead at my hands.”
He grabbed Shih Ching-yun by the neck and raised the knife, but before he had finished speaking, his hand suddenly loosened.
Shi Qingyun opened his eyes with difficulty, and the first thing he saw was Xue Wei with a gloomy face behind him.
Xue Wei jumped down from the running horse and ran back to the place where they were fighting, just in time to see Shi Qingyun being picked up by Ulizi’s neck.
He didn’t have time to think about it, so he picked up a sword and stabbed Ulizzi in the heart.
Unexpectedly, Ulizi threw himself in the direction of the sword, not caring at all that the sword sank into his body. His machete was aimed at Xue Wei, and finally he stabbed him with his backhand.
Shi Qingyun immediately kicked Ulizi to the ground. But the blade is too sharp, Xue Wei can not dodge, the arm was cut out of a wound.
“How are you?!”
Hsueh Wei shook his head at Shih Ching-yun. “Never mind.”
After two steps, he suddenly knelt down and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
“The knife was ten times as poisonous, and he couldn’t live.” Ulizi burst out laughing, but his eyes looked straight at the sky. “Biansha is the king of the prairie, and the Song Dynasty will always be defeated.” Will.
Then he twitched a few times and died.
9)
When Shen Chongxing led the troops to find them, Shi Qingyun was carrying Xue Wei to the barracks. Xue Wei closed her eyes tightly and was dying, and the wound on her own face was ferocious and terrible.
He was poisoned.. Take him away..
Those were her last words before she passed out.
She had a long-lost dream. In the
dream, he was still killing the enemy until his eyes were red and his hands were numb. Suddenly there was a sound of hooves behind her, and she turned around and found herself under a tree, with unknown flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains in the distance.
But under the tree, Lu Zijun just looked at her quietly and said, “It’s time for you to go.”
“Where should I go?”
“Come to the one you love.”
She looked in the direction of Lu Zijun’s finger, and in the bright lights, Xue Wei stood at the door of Xue Fu, reaching out to catch the falling snow.
……
Thoughts gradually fell into chaos, Shi Qingyun struggled to wake up, opened the door of the tent, and saw the military doctors coming in and out of the camp next to her.
Shen Chongxing stood at the door of the tent and saw her coming with a sword in her hand, with mixed emotions in his eyes.
He sighed softly and said, “Go in, Ching-yun.”
Xue Wei is no longer vomiting blood, he lies in the camp, here only he and Shi Qingyun two people.
Shi Qingyun put his hand on her face, she looked at his pale face, suddenly thought of many past events.
She remembered him taking her by the hand and saying, “Take a rest. You have the whole world besides life and death.”
He took her to the boat and watched the Kongming lanterns flying all over the sky, and the mountains and rivers sank into his eyes little by little.
He took her hand in front of the bed, and his eyes were red.
He encircled her waist from behind and begged her not to go, sighing that he could not hide the rolling thunder.
He came through half of the Song Dynasty, through the frost and snow, and said in her ear, “I miss you so much.”.
……
She remembered that sunny day, and he chuckled and put the hairpin in her hair.
She looked up at his face and panicked for a moment. Those who
