A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 154 Lin Yuan (17)
I want to call your name in front of people, shout Linyuan loudly, shaking the whole street.

As soon as she cried, he panicked, and quickly rolled up his sleeves to wipe her tears, but he also had his own reasons, "It can't be all my fault, if you didn't come on a blind date, I wouldn't have come up with such an idea. We are already married How could you break your promise if you made an alliance?"

The lotus lamp did not hit one place, and the wide sleeves fluttered, "You have ruined my reputation, how can I see people in the future!"

"Then don't see each other. When we return to Chang'an, you will stay in the shrine. No one knows what happened in Suiye City. It doesn't matter." He smiled flatteringly and handed her the pen , "If you are unhappy, just write your name, I don't mind."

She grabbed the pen fiercely, grabbed his finger and rubbed it on the neat and full nails several times.But when I raised the pen, I didn't know what to write, whether it was Midu, Lotus Lantern, or An Ning.

Unprecedented sadness, she can't remember who she is, a person who has no memory, everything is given by them.Sometimes she even suspects that she is just a lonely ghost who was summoned to this body, but in fact she is nobody.

She threw the pen aside, lifted the hem of her skirt and went down the steps.Walking back along the path, the sun was scorching hot above her head, she stood for a long time, in broad daylight, why didn't it illuminate her soul-stirringly?

He chased after her, fearing that she would get sunburned, so he raised his sleeves to shade her.She raised her head amidst the rich fragrance from his armband, "Where is Ah Pu now?"

The national teacher thought for a while, "Probably go back to my hometown!"

She choked up, "In order to lie to me, I painted murals in Mingsha Mountain for two years. This perseverance is admirable."

He shifted his gaze to another place, and said falteringly: "It's not necessarily to lie to you. He was emotionally hurt and fled outside the pass to hide from the world. He was very happy after saving you, and felt that he finally had a companion. After you go to Chang'an He was disheartened and left shortly after."

She held the corners of her lips bitterly, "You still made a three-year contract with me, but the human face disappeared." Saying this, she dropped him, and walked into a shade of flowers dejectedly.

Chen He is indeed a good brother, his resentment is all on the national teacher, knowing that his young sister can't beat this old demon, he didn't blame her when he saw her again.

The two brothers and sisters were sitting by the window for the summer, he handed her the peeled grapes, and said, "I explained to them that the national teacher is a cousin who likes to joke, and they won't be surprised after hearing that."

He was a gentle and honest man, and his old friends believed him once in a while when he told a lie.Lian Deng smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, brother."

He said it didn't matter, "I know your difficulties, I can only blame Aye, who was too obsessed with power and stirred you into the whirlpool."

She lowered her head and said nothing, and asked after a while, "Has the date for dispatching troops been fixed? When?"

Chen He said: "In five more days, it will be on the sixteenth day of the eighth month. Let the soldiers set out after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

She knows that things can't be turned around, whether she wins or loses, just let fate!She said, "Will brother go out with the army?"

Chenhe shook his head, "Aye wants me to lead 2 people to garrison Suiye City. No matter what the situation ahead is, Suiye City is the foundation and cannot fall into the hands of others. Anxi's governor Aye lobbied, and now he is also shaken. A total of 5 people have been assembled to join, so there are 13 people, and I need to provide food, grass and military salaries in the rear."

13 mouths, and countless war horses, how much consumption should be, this account is shocking.She frowned and said, "Is there any reserve in the granary? If it is called urgently, it may be difficult to sustain."

Chen Hedao: "There are granaries everywhere in the Hexi Corridor, so there is no need to worry about that. Chang'an is not far away after passing Biandukou and entering the pass. Suiye City has enough military supplies."

Therefore, the preparations were well made, and King Ding's rebellion did not take shape within a day or two. As he said, after being sent to Suiye City for more than 13 years, there was not a day when he was not thinking about how to return to Chang'an.Lian Deng just sighed, "Brother, I still feel a little anxious..." She didn't know how to persuade them, saying that the national teacher had other plans?She has no conclusive evidence, and King Ding may not be willing to listen.She could only warn Chenhe, "The imperial court has been on guard against Aye for a long time, so don't trust the national teacher too much. If he is appointed by the emperor, Aye will fall into a trap, and the [-] army will be incorporated as a matter of course, isn't it great?" A dream?"

Chenhe was a little surprised when he heard that, "Is this how you see it? You and the national teacher..."

This can be regarded as rebellion in the nest, and I feel embarrassed to say it. On the one hand, it is my sweetheart, and on the other hand, it is my father and brother.Although she still can't adapt to the status of princess, she can't just watch her relatives suffer.

Embarrassed on her face, she said with a scrawled smile: "I'm just taking precautions before they happen. Brother, let's go. If you think it makes sense, please take it to heart."

Chen He said well, "I will bring the words to Aye and ask him to make a decision."

She hummed, and began to think about what to bring with her.Chen He put down the teacup and said in doubt: "You want to go out together? That's not good, you are a girl..."

She raised her hand, "I've already made up my mind, brother. You don't need to say more. Besides, I was never raised in a deep boudoir. I can't bear to wait for the news in the palace. Besides, Tan Nu will join the army, so I am even more worried." There's no reason to stay."

Chenhe still hoped that she would think twice, after all, fighting is not a child's play, once the sword has no eyes in the battle, she might make a mistake in it.But she has cultivated an independent and decisive personality over the years, and it is difficult to change her mind once she has made up her mind.

Chenhe had no choice but to take a step back, "Let's ask Aye about this matter. If he objects, you can give up the idea, okay?"

Lian Deng said yes, and she was not worried that King Ding would not agree, on the contrary, he probably couldn't ask for more.After all, it is inevitable that there will be disagreements during the battle. As long as she is there, she can communicate with the national teacher at any time, which will reduce a lot of unnecessary frontal conflicts.In this family, it seems that only Chenhe really cares about her. The rest, such as King Ding and the other elder brothers, are kind on the surface, but don't know what to think behind their backs.She has always found it difficult to integrate into their lives. She is a strange person in this high-walled courtyard. She wants to leave, even if it is better to fight with the army than to be trapped here.

Of course, if Prince Ding has accepted his marriage, that is Prince Ding's business, and the princess's point of view will not change.In addition, hearing that she is Mrs. Tang's daughter, it is like a thorn in the flesh.

Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, preparations for the big banquet began. King Ding wanted to entertain the generals under his account. This was also the last reunion with the family members in the house before the expedition, and the mansion attached great importance to it.Lian Deng didn't have much expectation for this kind of festival, they were busy with their work, she still went for a walk in the garden in the evening, cut two bouquets of flowers, so that she could decorate the bedroom when she came back.But that day, the concubine, who had been depressed for a long time, somehow got out of the Cool Wind Palace, and met her on a narrow path in the garden.

The path paved with stones is very narrow, and Lian Deng hates her, but because of King Ding and Chen He, he still chooses to calm down.He hugged a handful of gardenias to avoid her, and originally wanted to wait for her to pass by, but he didn't expect that when Li Shi walked in front of her, he didn't intend to miss her, but stopped.

She squinted her eyes and looked her up and down. Her hair was covered with gold and silver hairpins, and she looked like a golden pheasant.The voice couldn't hide his harshness, and he said with a smothered voice: "Since the princess recognizes his ancestors, he has never come to my empress's palace to greet me, but he doesn't see me?"

She still has the face to find fault, Chenhe is such a good person but has such a vicious mother, it is really surprising that good bricks come from bad kilns.

She didn't intend to reward her. She had heard about Mrs. Tang's experience before she knew her own life experience. Although she still had no memory of her biological mother, it became instinctive to fight against Mrs. Li.She glanced at her and said simply and bluntly, "Yes."

The princess didn't realize it for a while, she thought about what she said just now, she said yes?Is she really missing?

She was so angry that no one had ever dared to contradict her like this.Her cold voice wished to cut her into pieces, and said sharply: "Don't think that you are really a princess when you return to the palace. Seed, take Joe in front of me, 800 years too early." After speaking, she was very angry, and raised her hand to separate her, the movement was too big, and the gardenia petals in her hand were scattered all over the ground.

The lotus lamp rushed to the head, new hatred and old hatred rushed up, smashed the flower branch on the ground forcefully, stretched out his legs and swept it, sweeping away Wang Hao's lower body, and easily threw her down on the gravel road.

A pampered lady, who has never lost such a big ugliness, is ashamed and hateful and plans to fight back.But before she had time to wait for someone to help her, she suddenly found that one hand was grabbed by the evil star. She said, "For the sake of the world, I won't kill you, let you have a better memory." There was only a click, and there was a severe pain in the wrist. When she got up, she screamed, knowing that her hand bones had been broken by her.

The attendants panicked and were in a mess.Lian Deng didn't listen to their cries and wolves, and turned back holding the scissors, and cut off a bunch of branches from the flower tree again.

She thought that someone would come to talk to her, trying to persuade her to be patient, but in the end, she waited all night and everything was calm.Thinking about it, the bad things the princess did only need one arm to pay off the debt, which is already very cheap for her.If it wasn't for keeping a gleam of favor with Chenhe, the pair of scissors should have been inserted around her neck.

Anyway, it was as if it hadn't happened, and it disappeared.However, her notoriety was also widely spread, and people in the palace all detoured when they saw her.Being drawn out of their world was very satisfying at first, and then a little lonely.Only the national teacher is still the same as before, holding flowers every day before sunset, and coming to her courtyard to show her hospitality.

She was in a bad mood, and stood on the corridor looking at him with her chest crossed.He offered them hastily, sometimes jasmine, sometimes crocus.But she forgot about the flowers when she got close. Now that she has become a princess, her clothes have become more elegant.Although it is not necessary to wear an open collar, it is also a lotus silk shirt and a lotus silk skirt, and the white and clean skin is looming behind the material.

There is nothing happier than watching one's own woman grow up day by day. The national teacher flattered her in every way, "It's inevitable that a beauty will suffer if she doesn't take care of herself. That's how it should be. She doesn't show mercy when she should be ruthless. Tell me, look at her." You don't need to worry about anyone who is not pleasing to the eye, I will order someone to finish him immediately."

She didn't want to pay attention to him, turned around and went back to the room, and he cheekily chased him in, at least to spend a couple of cups of tea.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, King Ding and Chenhe both sent people to invite her, but she declined.Tan Nu is now in the military camp and cannot spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her, so she sits alone on the roof eating pancakes and watching the moon.

The moon on the fifteenth day is very big, but not too round, and half of it always seems a little lacking.The shadow on the moon looks like a house. I don’t know if there is Chang’e living there... She leaned on the tiles, closed her eyes and hummed softly: "The red fox has lost its sandals and pony. It is lost. The sun is scorching and the Gobi is vast , the red fox ran here and there, it couldn't find a home..." When I sang to the sad part, I couldn't even speak.She felt that the red fox living in her song was herself, and she always thought that she had a goal, but only now did she realize that, after being busy, everything in the end was completely different from what she had imagined.

She paused to catch her breath.He opened his eyes and saw that there was a person beside him, his figure was like a bamboo, and his elegant Luo Yi fluttered in the evening wind.

She was a little embarrassed and asked self-deprecatingly, "Do I sing well?"

He didn't flatter her this time, he just said, "you're upset."

Is there anything to be happy about?She bowed her head and said yes, "I'm not happy at all."

He thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, "I'll take you to the highest place in Suiye City to see the moon, if you're afraid of falling, hold me tight."

Probably out of instinct, she put her arms around his neck without thinking, he smiled triumphantly, and jumped into the deep night.

Everyone in the Supreme Shrine has this ability to move in the air like walking on flat ground.She heard the wind blowing in her ears, and clasped her hands tighter.He took her to Huguo Temple. The golden pagoda of Huguo Temple has stood in Suiye City for 300 years.The ridge on the top was wide enough for them to settle down.She looked up, and the moon was so close that she could touch it.She smiled and traced its outline, as if she was not afraid of the abyss under her feet, and if she took a step forward, if he hadn't held her back, she might have fallen down.

He clasped her elbow and sighed, "Liandeng, let's have a good talk!"

She looked at him for a long time, and he helped her to sit down, but he didn't let go of his hands, interlocking her fingers, "I don't know how to make you happy, if it's okay to restore your memory, I can do it for you now. But your childhood was miserable, and it is for your own good not to let you recall it again."

She didn't answer him, and after thinking for a long time, she said: "I don't know how to be happy, maybe I just forget everything, forget about the trip to Chang'an, forget about Apu, Tanu, Zhuanzhuan, and you..."

Under the moonlight, his brows and eyes were misty, smudged with a light blue, and he stopped her before she finished speaking, "I really hurt you so deeply, so deep that you want to forget me? I know Sometimes cold-blooded, it is because I was often told that the seven emotions and six desires cannot be moved since I was a child. Over time, even I thought I was born lacking. My master told me that the assistant king should not be partial and partial. If your emotions are too strong to control I simply gave it up. I remember that when I was five years old, I raised two rabbits because of loneliness. I ordered someone to bring those two rabbits, and told me that I could only keep one of the two, and asked me to make a choice. I looked at the two rabbits and didn't know what to do, but Master pressed me very hard, and I had nowhere to go. Kill both of them. Because if there is no choice, there will be no pain, and if there are no emotions and desires, no one can hurt me.” After he finished speaking, he turned his head and smiled at her, “Sometimes it is difficult for me to control my thoughts. You need to make a choice, and you are often willing to ruin it. But when I met you... I was in a dilemma several times, and I tried to solve it in the previous way, but soon regretted that I couldn't do it." He stroked her hand carefully, put Kiss on the lips, "Lian Deng, don't forget me, I have lived alone in this world for so long, I am very lonely. Can you accompany me, it won't be too long, until the day I die."

Lian Deng's heart was heavy, but she couldn't help rolling her eyes at the end, "My lifespan is not as long as yours, so I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to the end."

He said no, and put his hand on her cheek, "Do you feel it, I'm getting warmer and warmer."

She nodded, "Because you're starting to be human?"

He smiled lightly, withdrew his hands and fell on his back, put his arms behind his head, looked blankly at the stars and moon in the sky, and said: "My master is also pure yang blood, and his body began to warm up in the first three years before he died."

She gasped, no wonder he said that he would give her the antidote three years later, it turned out that the time was approaching.She was flustered, and said angrily: "Why do you provoke me when you know that you are going to die, and let me live in regret for the rest of your life? That's why I said you are selfish. You can erase all the memories about you for me before you die." Let me marry someone else with peace of mind, Fangzhou said that he would marry me..." She talked a lot, knowing that he would not die so easily, but her heart suddenly ached, and the pain made her tremble all over, the pain The internal organs are pulled into a ball.She covered her face and wailed, "What should I do... I would rather you live to disgust me than die."

Death was not so terrible to him, but she, crying aloud, had a huge energy that made people "sit up in a dying sickness".He rushed to comfort her, "Don't cry, don't scare the man in the moon."

She doesn't have such a good time to care about people in the middle of the moon, she only knows that the life in front of her is not long.She was terrified, and clutched him tightly in cold sweat, "You have the Book of Crossing the Dead, which can bring the dead back to life."

He nodded reluctantly, but didn't tell her that apart from him, it was difficult for anyone else in the world to make the scriptures work.He tried it when he came out of Huihui's tomb, because there was only half a volume of scriptures, and it took him a lot of internal energy to succeed. If it were someone else, who would have a hundred years of cultivation?
She seemed to be relieved, and she breathed a long sigh of relief. She came over, put her arms around his neck and said, "I'm really scared, just that you will die. At first, I blamed you for using me to find "The Book of Crossing the Dead", but now I read it all Open, I know that nothing is more important to me than you being alive." Then he looked at him by the moonlight, "Are you going to get very old?"

He had an awkward expression on his face, "I won't grow old, even if I die." Seeing her curious face, he said, "You want to ask me how old I am?"

"No, no..." She quickly waved her hands, "You will always be 24 years old in my eyes, which is just right. If you are already a hundred years old, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

He smiled wryly, "Actually, I don't know how old I am. My master helped Taizu establish the Dali at the age of 60, and passed away after 40 years as the national teacher..."

Lian Deng was astonished, only now did he know that he was the second generation of Lin Yuan, and that he had been a national teacher much longer than his master...I dare not think about the rest, if I think about it too much, I will have nightmares, and I would rather not know anything.

"What about your original name?"

His eyes were blank, "It's been too long, I can't remember clearly."

Well, if I can’t remember, I don’t want to.After Lian Deng calmed down, she felt that he was a bit pitiful. After living a long time, she actually didn't understand the value of her own existence.But now, to her, it has a different meaning.No matter what unforgivable things he has done before, as long as he still knows how to look back and cannot catch up with her footsteps when he is too old, she can stop and wait for him.

After all, he was afraid that the ridge of the roof would hurt her, so he stopped after a short "demonstration".The lotus lamp was dim, like a fool, "Are we already married?"

"It's not close, but it's basically it." He smiled and stroked his face hard.After all, he was still worried about his life and death three years later. If he moved her now, if he couldn't come back by then, it would hurt her too much.What happened just now is like a curious child bravely making an attempt. He knows that there will be more bone-crushing conditions, but when he calms down, he should stop in moderation. After all, he is not an impulsive young man, and he still has scruples about many things.

He came over to hug her and let her sit cross-legged on his lap.Looking up, the moon is in the sky, "God saw what happened just now."

She sneaked into his arms shyly, "It's nothing to see, anyway, we will be together forever. I hope that one day we can be a real husband and wife. I want to call your name in front of people, and shout Linyuan with a loud voice, shaking The whole street."

He giggled and kissed her forehead and the tip of her nose. For some reason, he felt a little sour in his heart. He adjusted his emotions and said, "I also have a wish. I will not be your face-to-face in front of others, but to be a real gentleman. No matter how dare someone be with you I hit him on a blind date, and then said that this is my wife, my mother-in-law."

The design is not elegant, but the bottom of my heart is full of flowers.It seemed as if he saw a golden carriage swaying towards him on Chang'an Street ten miles away, and he, dressed in fine clothes and jade belt, greeted him with a smile in front of the door, stretched out his hand, held her fingertips, and helped her get out of the car.

She plucked his earlobe, "I won't go on a blind date with anyone else again, I'm sorry for you, it made you angry."

He gave her a resentful look, "It's good that you know it, you can't be bold enough to keep attacking me just because of my loyalty. To be a human being, you have to be conscientious."

She sneered, "Remember, this is not an example. When the time comes, I will set out with you, and I will go wherever you go. Under your nose, you have nothing to worry about."

He was surprised, "You want to join the army?"

She said yes, "I don't worry about you being in the army, and I want to take care of you nearby."

He laughed, "There is nothing to worry about, but you will distract me. How about this, I will let Xia Guan escort you back to Chang'an first, find a place to settle down, and regain the lost ground together when I come back."

But she is very stubborn and stubborn, even if he is not willing to listen to his words, she said with a stern face: "You must have other plans for sending me away, Linyuan, there will be no twists and turns between us, you know .”

He choked for a moment, then nodded, "I know. Since you insist, I won't force you. But rushing in the army is much more difficult than crossing the Hexi Corridor alone. Do you think you can bear it?"

She is afraid of everything, but she is not afraid of suffering.She has lived such a long life, only the two days when she became the princess can be called a good life, and the rest are either half hungry and half full, or wandering.She waved her hand in a big way, "It's okay, I still have you. How can you treat yourself so badly when you are such a enjoyment person? With your big umbrella, there is always a place for me to shade. Could it be that you don't want to share it with me?" ?”

He thought about it, but it was true, he would rather shorten himself now than let her suffer any more grievances in daily life.As long as the talks are settled, there is nothing to argue about.He stroked her hair, "If that's the case, follow me, don't worry about the battle situation, learn to be my wife first."

She grinned, and she didn't want any accidents in the army, she joined the army, to be honest, just for peace of mind.

Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Suiye City is very lively, there are lanterns and singing and dancing crowds everywhere.They sit on the top of the tower and look far away, and they can see far away from here.To the east of Suiye City is a vast desert, the desert is sparsely populated, and a few scattered lights are faint, like the faint reflection occasionally reflected by the gravel on the Gobi Desert.

She took one of his arms and leaned her head on his shoulder.He touched her hand, "It's very windy here, you're afraid of the cold after staying for a long time, go back!"

She was a little sleepy, and said hello mistyly, hanging on him like a loofah.Knowing that he would not throw her down halfway, he heard the wind rustling in his ears all the way, without even opening his eyes.

He took her into the house, placed her on the couch, and looked at her face with candlelight. For so long, he didn't seem to care much about her.He always thought she was strong enough to handle all difficulties, but she was not.He looked at her sleeping face, long and curled eyelashes, nimble nose tip and plump lips.If it doesn't make her sad, maybe she can gain weight, and she will be cuter by then.

He squatted here, not wanting to leave, never had such a feeling, so close to a person's heart.He begins to realize that this is the person he has to care about, the difference between liking and loving.The love he blurted out before was not really love, but just liking.After tonight, he will ache for her pain, and his heart will become soft for her, and he will understand that this is what can be called love.

But if you don't go, you can't do it, procrastinating, what does it look like!He got up to leave, but she wrapped the ribbon on his robe around his index finger, she smiled lazily, "I can't run away."

His mind was in a mess, and he had made a big decision, but it was completely collapsed by her disturbance.He persisted in a dying struggle, "It's late at night, I should go back."

She pushed herself closer, half of her cheeks were deformed by the pressure on the mat, and she moaned: "Linyuan..."

He hummed, "What's wrong?"

She twisted her body like a snake, and moved aside to make room for a large space, "The Princess invites you to sleep together."

The national teacher suddenly felt as if he was overwhelmed. Benzoin was burning in the pixiu copper incense burner in the center of the earth. The woman's boudoir was full of soft and fluttering veils, as soft as a dream.He told her just now that if you are interested, you can continue after you go back.So is this what she means by staying with her now?

His heart trembled involuntarily. She was so sincere that she really planned to entrust her for life.He sat down on the edge of the couch and lay sprawled beside her. She glanced at him, moved into his arms, and kissed his neck, "I just don't want to be separated from you, so don't go."

After the [-]th, the [-]th was about to start. When Lian Deng said goodbye to Chen He, he felt embarrassed, hurt his mother like that, and was afraid that he would blame her.

Chenhe's view of right and wrong is very upright, although he feels sorry for the princess, he understands what Lian Deng did.After all, he has the vengeance of killing his mother. If his situation were reversed with hers, he might not be half as magnanimous as hers.He took the burden from the servant and handed it to her. Seeing her put on men's clothes, he always felt a little worried, "It is your filial piety as a son and daughter that you go out with Aye, but you should pay more attention to your own health and safety. We brothers and sisters After being separated for more than ten years, you have to leave after less than a month of reunion, brother is really uncomfortable."

Chenhe has practiced martial arts since he was a child, but he is still a literati at heart.Seeing the tears in his eyes, Lian Deng squeezed his hand firmly, "Don't worry, brother, I will be more careful, and you have to take care of yourself. When the army triumphs, we brothers and sisters will drink three cups. "

He nodded and said yes, and said: "The army is full of reckless men. Aye has no caring people to take care of him, so I will trouble you. Going to Chang'an is destined to be not peaceful, and I don't know how long it will take. If there is anything wrong, write a letter Send someone to send it back so that I can report it to brother."

He exhorted Xu Xu, tirelessly.The lotus lanterns were all right, and I was very moved while being funny.

He looked back at the front of the formation, the national teacher would not show his face in a leisurely manner, and he didn't know where he was hiding now.Some news came out of her courtyard, and he shouldn't be the elder brother who should have intervened, but An Ning didn't have a mother. He was afraid that she would suffer, so he had to tell her privately, "A man's heart is very big. Control, especially people like him... I don't care how far you are, just like you advised Aye to be careful last time, you should be careful yourself. It is important to obey Aye's orders, but the first point is not to Hurt yourself, by all means."

Lian Deng expected that he must have heard about the matter of the national teacher staying overnight last night, and he only talked to her so much today.Her face was burning hot, she was so ashamed that she answered hastily, "Brother, stay a while, I'm going to join Aye." She whipped her horse and whipped her whip, and went to the front of the army.

This long-distance raid is not without risk.It has been nearly five months since they left Chang'an. It is said that war broke out in the Central Plains. It was a scuffle between King Yong and King Xin who released the capital earlier.Therefore, the Dali founding of the country was very far-sighted regardless of the vassal. No matter how many phoenix sons and dragon grandchildren were kept in captivity in Chang'an, if there were no soldiers in their hands, and they could not accumulate strength, there would be no fratricidal incidents.As a result, since Emperor Gaozong, he followed the example of the Han Dynasty and released the princes to the fiefdom. When the kings became full-fledged, the situation gradually changed.

I have been lying in bed for too long today, I can't recover, and I can't die for a while. The five sons can't wait for the order of Li Chu, and people's hearts are naturally floating.The major affairs of the court were once in the hands of King Liang, just because King Liang was born to the queen?That King Liang who has no talent, no morals, and a stomach full of straws!Talented and virtuous people refused to accept it, and those with soldiers and horses also refused to accept it, so the eldest prince Xin Wang and the third prince Yong Wang were sent out of Chang'an. They used a goose and two seedlings on the edge of their respective territories as the fuse to make use of the topic. It developed from a war of words to a brawl, and finally they merged into one, pointing directly at the capital.

The assumptions have always been full. For example, when the Anshi Rebellion was initiated at the beginning, it later led to "death before the crescent horse". They will not directly mention who will succeed to the throne.There is only one goal, to abolish the empress Zhou who confused the imperial court.Empress Zhou was over fifty years old. If she was a beauty when she was young, by the age of fifty, her color would have faded to the point where there is not much left.But this is a very effective political tactic, fighting cattle across mountains.When the empress fell, so did the king of Liang. The mother and son might still have a chance to go to the prison in Lijingmen to eat for two days.

The army of King Xin and King Yong arrived, and the King of Chu, who was guarding Shannan Road, was ordered to stop him. As a result, the prince was a master. He wore the mask of a peacemaker to deal with the two brothers, and fought twice with thunder and rain. , They all just let it go with the sage's precept that brothers don't kill each other.Chang'an is like a plucked chicken. Without foreign aid, it has to fight hand-to-hand.

Fortunately, the emperor has military power in his hands. The two yamen in the north and the south plus the government soldiers can resist it for at least two or three months.At this time, King Ding handed over the secret book and went to Chang'an to share the Lord's worries, appease the world, and put the kings in chaos.In fact, Chang'an has not yet reached the point of running out of ammunition and food. The old emperor knows that these sons are fighting, no matter who wins, the meat is still in the pot.But if King Ding joins, then the threat will be great, and in the end I am afraid that the country will change hands.

The Central Plains became a mess, and today's illness has worsened.After he regained his breath, he hurriedly ordered Shuxing to draw up an imperial edict, and ordered King Ding to stand still and continue guarding outside the pass.As a result, when the edict was delivered, King Ding's army had already arrived at Biandukou.

Whether to fight or retreat, King Ding began to hesitate again.If the five kings suddenly wake up and turn their spearheads to the outside world, then his plan will inevitably be frustrated.Ask the national teacher, the national teacher's answer is very simple, "The general is away, and the emperor's order is not acceptable. Your highness just needs to wait, and when the two armies and the government soldiers kill both sides, your highness can sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

King Ding's heart finally settled down, he was only one step away from the Central Plains, and he could even hear the long-lost local accent.At this moment, it is really time to stop hesitating. He rolled up the piece of yellow silk and casually threw it on the table, "Then according to the opinion of the national teacher, when is the best time for the army to enter the customs?"

The national teacher stood in front of the tent waving a fan, looking at the mountains from a distance. The climate of this throat is changing rapidly, the sooner you pass here, the better.He said: "You must pass through Biandukou within three days. After passing the pass, take a rest in Jincheng, and then wait and see what happens. Your Highness, please order the three armies to prepare sufficient warm clothes, charcoal materials and thick blankets. Wait until If you use time to hate less, it will be too late."

King Ding was a little suspicious when he heard his words, he looked up at the sky, the scorching sun was scorching above his head, if you put a melon under the sun, it would crack in less than three minutes.In such weather, carrying winter clothes on the march is really a big burden for the generals.

He was skeptical, but still ordered the captain to do it.Facts have proved that the national teacher was really clever. On the second night after the army entered the canyon, a sudden blizzard fell, and 13 horses were trapped. If there were no winter clothes and charcoal fire, more than half of them would freeze to death.

Heavy snow sealed the canyon, and they were in the middle of Biandukou.Looking around, there is chaos, and I can't tell which is the sky and which is the earth.

The army was trapped, and King Ding was extremely anxious.This is not a good sign, and it was damaged here before the confrontation. Wouldn't the rush this time become a joke?He also felt a little resentful towards the national teacher, "The national teacher said that Biandukou would come out within three days, why did it snow heavily after only two days?"

The national teacher lowered his eyelashes and nodded, "I said within three days, because there will be worse weather after three days. If the army cannot leave smoothly, when the snow stops, the corpses in this canyon will pile up like a mountain."

King Ding choked, filled with resentment, but unable to attack, his face turned purple with anger.He turned his head and shouted at the lieutenant general, "Order five Captain Zhechong, and order them to lead 200 or [-] men each to shovel the snow to open the way. The passage will be opened within a day, and the whole army will march at night. They must get out of Biandukou before tomorrow morning."

The deputy general took the order, but the man's anger was hard to dissipate.King Ding was walking back and forth in the tent, seeing that the national teacher was still calm, suspicion gradually arose in his heart.Taking a look at Cai Yan, the guardian, he sneered and said, "If there is a natural disaster, since the national teacher can predict it, the army can be stationed in Zhangye for two days before passing through. Why rush in these three days? The national teacher, Xiao Wang and Cai Duhu Now that we are on the same boat, we should draw up the most favorable marching plan for us. Now that 13 people are blocked here, if there is a slight mistake, the whole army will be wiped out, is this what the National Teacher wants to see?"

Lian Deng listened to it, feeling ups and downs in his heart.Looking at the national teacher, the red light of the charcoal fire reflected his face, and the white fox fur was also stained with a layer of crimson.He glanced over slowly, and turned his eyes to Cai Yan's face. Cai Yan is a slippery man, and he only smooths things out at such times.Looking back at King Ding, he said slowly: "Your Highness seems to have forgotten the edict. Zhangye's Zhao Shentong has 5 horses in his hands, and he is still in the wait-and-see stage. As long as there is a battle report from the Central Plains, once the imperial court quells the coup, Your Highness The army is very likely to face the danger of flanking attacks. Staying in Zhangye, isn’t Your Highness afraid of long nights and dreams? Biandukou is a natural barrier. If there is any change in Zhao’s supernatural power, I can still set up an array at Biandukou so that he can come and go. , but if it is a battle on flat ground, I am the Immortal Da Luo, and I cannot guarantee that your Highness will not be injured or injured." After saying this, he snorted and said, "Your Highness's army is a risky business, and success or failure depends on fate. Your Highness I feel that I am incompetent, so I can go back to live my free life. As for the future, His Highness can take care of himself."

Older people have tempers, and once they flare up, it is difficult to calm down.King Ding had no choice but to apologize, "The national teacher has helped me return to the capital all the way, Xiao Wang is very grateful. Just because I was in a panic just now, I spoke inappropriately, so I ask the national teacher to forgive me."

There was no sign of relaxation on the face of the national teacher, he flicked his sleeves, turned and walked out of the big tent.

King Ding was a little anxious, and quickly winked at Lian Deng, "A Ning, please say something nice for Aye."

Lian Deng had no choice but to follow out.

It was snowing heavily outside, and he was standing between the sky and the earth in white clothes, only to see his long black hair fluttering, just like when he was in the Taishang Shrine that day.She went over with an umbrella and covered him under the umbrella, "Are you angry?"

He said no, "I'm looking for the eye of the wind, to see when the snow will stop."

Lian Deng stood side by side with him, and asked after a while: "If you want to go, will you take me with you?"

Without thinking about it, he said of course, "Leave you here, I won't be able to go far after all, and I have to come back in the end."

She moved closer to him, "Actually, I secretly hope that you will have a falling out, but it's a pity that you are all just talking in anger, and no one takes it seriously."

He took a deep breath, warm breath, and dense clouds and mist intertwined in front of his eyes, "At this point, there is no room to turn back." He looked down at her and smiled slightly, "I said earlier that I don't want you to join the army." , the army is full of hostility, and swords are at war all day long. You are here, you will only be afraid."

"If I'm not here, I'm afraid I won't be at ease." She looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance and said, "Aye blamed you just now, I was very sad. I know you tried your best, but he is still saying what you should do, what you shouldn't How. Sometimes I think, why did you come to this point. But you don’t want to tell me, and I can’t help it. The only thing I can do is to watch over you and know that you are still fine. "

He put his hand on hers, teasingly said: "You, Aye, asked you to persuade me, but it's better for you not to mention it at all?"

She was a little embarrassed, "I don't want you to make trouble, but to me, this father is still a stranger, and I can't regard him as the closest person."

He raised his lips, the bright red color of his lips was as bright as a flower in this glazed world.He took her umbrella, raised his arms, covered her under the fox fur, and proudly said: "Your closest person should be me. After meeting Yue Yu's father, how can you compare with me?" Gradually paused When he got down, his voice became low, and he murmured, "Why did I get myself involved in the war...Because King Ding negotiated a deal with me, he said he has the other half of the "Book of Crossing the Dead" in his hand."

Lian Deng was stunned, "Is it true?"

He shrugged, "I don't know, but he has been stationed outside the pass for so many years, Suiye City is supposed to return to the original site, and it makes sense if it is really in his hands... He had better not lie to me, otherwise the matter will become serious."

Lian Deng was in a state of distress, they each had their own plans, it was difficult to tell who was good and who was bad in the whole matter, in the world, there is indeed no absolute good or bad.

She might have stood in the snow for a long time, and with the fox fur teasing her nose, she sneezed and sprayed his face with saliva.He beeped, his tone full of contempt, "It's rare to see such a rude person!"

She blushed, "I'm sorry, I can't control the aggressiveness." As she spoke, she wiped his hands twice, pouted and complained, "I didn't see you think I was rude when you were a baby, but now you are yelling!"

He said: "It's different. If you lick my face, I won't dislike you."

She said angrily, "I'm not a dog, why did I lick you!"

He laughed, pressed her nose and said, "You're going to catch a cold, go back!"

Sometimes his predictions were really accurate, and Lian Deng really caught the cold, and when he returned to the tent, he became hot.She even teased herself, "I've always been in good health, and I won't catch a cold even if I wade in the water in winter. It must be because I'm with you, I've acquired your bad habits, and I've become delicate."

He squatted beside the tent frying ginger tea, too busy to talk to her.Lian Deng leaned on the mattress and looked at him. In the past, he should have looked at him with his hands behind his back. If you assign him, he will never do it himself, because he is afraid of hurting his skin or staining his clothes.It's really different now, he started to know how to be considerate to others, even squatting there to poke the fire, it's a huge improvement, it's worth her joy for a long time.

But she felt that this time she was really sick, her body was burning hot, and she couldn't even open her eyes in the end.Dimly, I heard Tan Nu coming, asking about her condition, and took care of her on the edge of the couch for a while.Then the medical officer in the army took her pulse, prescribed a dose of medicine for sweating, and ordered the servant to fry it.

Fever is the most uncomfortable thing. My whole body hurts, and my limbs are as difficult to move as if they were filled with lead.She felt her cheeks burn, and the breath she exhaled could melt ice and snow.The national teacher stood by her side and kept changing cold towels to cover her forehead. She had been busy for a long time, but her condition did not improve.In fact, it doesn't matter if there are not many such minor illnesses, it's just a coincidence of time.The five Zhechong Mansions were ordered to open up the canyon in front of them, and by the evening they were almost ready, and the army had to march out overnight.At this time, her fever had not subsided, and she was sweating a little, but she could barely move.

King Ding frowned, "It's not the right time to be sick. There are ditches and dead trees in the canyon, and horses can't ride. How about this? Let someone make a small sedan chair and let four people carry it."

The national teacher said no need, "It's dark at night, one foot is shallow, what if someone does not walk steadily and hurts my confidante, what should I do! I will carry it myself, and I don't need others."

Lian Deng was very embarrassed, he couldn't be more smooth when talking about his confidante.King Ding's smile was embarrassing, but the national teacher was still there, covering her tightly with his cloak, and said softly: "Don't worry about anything, go out after sleeping."

But she was afraid that he would be tired. It was unimaginable for such a delicate and noble person to walk so far with a heavy load.

Of course, he still followed his plan in the end. No one rode a horse because of the rugged valley bottom.Only she was very happy when she was treated very highly.With a little strength, he muttered: "Others walk, I ride a national teacher..."

He pinched her buttocks, "Don't get carried away."

She laughed and kissed him on the cheek secretly.

It is only now that I have the feeling of being loved, as if I am tired, he provides shoulders, I can rely on it for as long as I want, and I don't worry about him leaving halfway.He was the one who oppressed her in the past, but now he has finally realized his conscience, and he will spare no effort to perform whenever he has the opportunity.She remembered that she had stabbed her foot, and he had carried her on his back.But the flat land is different from the mountains. Biandukou's terrain is dangerous, and there are strange rocks and cliffs on the road. From the station to the gorge, it is at least more than 20 miles.She was tightly wrapped, and her body was two times bigger than usual. His arms were buckled backwards, and she was worried that he had hurt his muscles and bones.

"I'm much better now." She said softly after walking for a while, "I was sweating a lot just now, it doesn't matter now, I can walk by myself."

He didn't listen to her, "Then rest more."

"You will be tired."

He said: "I am strong and strong, how can I be tired when I carry my own woman on my back!"

She was a little sweet when she heard it, but she complained: "Don't talk about your confidante in front of outsiders, it will make people listen to a joke."

But he didn't take it seriously, "If you don't call her a confidante, can you call her your wife? After all, the decision has not yet been made, and there must be an explanation in front of King Ding."

She knew that she couldn't talk to him, his shoulders were broad and safe, and she had no strength in her body, so she stopped arguing with him and fell asleep obediently for a while.

It was a very difficult night to walk. Everyone was cold and hungry, but they dared not stop. They had to walk out of the canyon before dawn.When Lian Deng woke up, the sky was twilight, and he vaguely saw a wide field of vision in front of him, thinking that he was not far from the mouth of the gorge.

"Is it time?"

He hummed, quickened his pace, and walked more and more smoothly. He let out a long breath, "Finally walked out."

Looking back at Biandukou, the mountains on both sides are steep, and 10,000+ troops pass through the bottom, as small as ants.

The last soldier stepped out of the canyon, and he was still standing there with her on his back.Everyone stopped to watch quietly, and gradually realized that the bottom of their feet was shaking, and there was a loud rumbling sound coming from the gorge, as if the sky was about to collapse.The lotus lamp leaned over his shoulder to watch, and in the dark sky, he saw the snow on both sides began to loosen. At first, a piece as big as the tabletop fell down, and then more and more fell. Suddenly, with a bang, the entire canyon was filled with snow. The cliffs on both sides became unprecedentedly clean.

Everyone was terrified, if they hadn't walked fast, they would all be wild ghosts in the gorge at this moment.King Ding and Cai Duhu bowed their hands to the national teacher, apart from praising him for his ingenuity, they really had nothing to say.

He lowered the corner of his mouth slightly, "The snow will not melt within half a year, Zhangye's army will not be able to pass through even if they are ordered, Your Highness can rest easy."

Lian Deng looked at the overwhelming snow silently, feeling hesitant in his heart.Zhao Shentong's army couldn't make it through, but King Ding's army was also cut off from the rear, so they had to rush forward and could no longer turn back.

However, from the day the army set out, it was doomed to have no room to retreat, so for King Ding, the benefits of this avalanche still outweighed the disadvantages.

After a day and night of hard work, the army camped and settled down on the spot.The inside of the gorge and the outside of the gorge are clearly two worlds. The winter inside the gorge is cold and the twelfth lunar month is cold, while the outside of the gorge is breezy in autumn.When the sun rises, the sky is clear and wide, the haze in everyone's heart is swept away, and death is brushed away, which is worth celebrating anyway.

The national division doesn't use people in the army, he has his own trustworthy arm.They set up camp and didn't stay with the army, they lived alone and surrounded a place, and the tent was bigger than that of King Ding.At first, he was so proud of being a confidante, but when he reached the safe zone, he turned into full of hypocrisy.He started to quarrel, saying that his arm hurts, complaining that she was heavy, and asked her to rub medicinal wine on him.

Lian Deng poured the medicine on his hands to warm it up, then rubbed it back and forth on that snow-white arm, and said while rubbing: "I said I was going to walk by myself, but you insisted on carrying me. Actually, I'm not ashamed to say, I Your two legs are numb, and they are still sore."

His eyes were wide open, and he said unyieldingly: "You ungrateful villain, thank you for being able to speak! You have a fever, and I carry you for your own good. The ground is covered with ice and snow, aren't you afraid of the cold coming in from the bottom of your feet? Now I recovered from my illness, and started to make sarcastic remarks. Since this is the case, you can carry me on your back tonight, not overnight, but in the middle of the night." After speaking, I suddenly found that I used the word "carrying" very well, which can open up another world. Layers of artistic conception come.

His heart felt hot, he took the medicine in her hand, and said with a smile: "I've almost wiped it here, didn't you say your legs are sore, I'll help you apply the medicine."

She was overwhelmed and declined, "I'm just saying this, and you take it seriously."

He threw the medicine bottle aside casually, "Then let me press it for you, I know that curling up all night is really not easier than walking." The expression on his face was pure and sincere, impeccable.

Lian Deng didn't have any doubts, it was good to think about it, so he propped his arms back and said with a smile: "Please trouble the national teacher."

He was very willing to help, and moved his ten fingers with both hands, making the joints crackle, "If you feel uncomfortable, just talk, I have never pressed for others, try it first."

She hummed, and pulled a large lead pillow to lean on.The national teacher is a handsome person, and a handsome person will not be reckless. Although he is inexperienced, he can control his strength very well.Lian Deng looked down, he was pinching well, starting from the calf and going up bit by bit, while pinching, he said: "How? Is it still good?"

The silly girl nodded repeatedly, "Smart people learn without a teacher."

This is so true, unless he is not interested, as long as he has a desire to study, he can do better than anyone else.He smiled pleasantly, "I think from now on, you will spend the night in my tent. The army is full of rough people, it is really inconvenient for you to be a girl."

She was enjoying it, and said softly with her cheeks propped up: "I don't understand, what's the matter with living here with you? You always have to worry about me, Aye, and let others say that it's not good to teach a girl, and his face is not honorable. "

He looked very disappointed, "Isn't my big tent good? It's more comfortable than King Ding's!"

She half-opened her eyes and looked at him, "Just wait for me to drop by when I'm idle and bored."

He was speechless, pinched his knees with his hands and spread them upwards, Lian Deng didn't feel anything wrong.She closed her eyes happily. After all, she had been fighting all night and was much more tired than riding a horse.The more he went up, the more she felt relieved, she stretched comfortably, and felt drowsy again.

Seeing her bewildered look, he whispered, "Sleepy?" She didn't answer, and he took off his overalls on his own initiative, "I'm tired after walking all night, so let's sleep together!"

The second official Xia Qiu who was standing at the door heard this, and quickly avoided going out as if he had received an amnesty.

Said to sleep for a while, and really slept for a long time.The wilderness is sunny and windy, the air is mixed with the fragrance of green grass and wild flowers, and occasionally there are birdsong and horse neighing interspersed in dreams, autumn is just sleeping.

The national teacher has something on his mind, so he wakes up earlier than the lotus lamp.When I opened my eyes, it was already dark, and no one dared to come in to light the lamps. I could only see the faint bonfire outside the tent, and the sound of soldiers lighting a fire and cooking in the distance.

He looked down, she was nestled beside him, her small body was like a dodder flower.He put his hand on her back and moved a little closer.It's not quite right since the last time. I haven't tried some things, so I don't think so much. I can comfort myself by kissing her occasionally.Now his appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and a simple kiss can no longer satisfy him.From time to time, a little impure picture would be sketched in his mind, such as her disheveled clothes, her fragrant shoulders half exposed, her long hair winding on the pillow and so on...

He looked at her innocent sleeping face in the dim light.She scratched the bridge of her nose with her finger, she was woken up by him, and asked him inarticulately, "It's dark?" She struggled, "I'm going to light the lamp."

He pulled her, "don't worry, just lie down for a while."
