Gong Xue has bandits

Chapter 90

The wind howled, the thunder and lightning flashed, and the torrential rain enveloped the world, making it miserable.

In the Western Xia Palace, the candles were flickering. A group of people were kneeling outside the door. The leader was dressed in armor and looked like he had just returned from the battlefield.

He looked at the vermilion door with grief on his face, gritted his teeth and cried, "Brother, brother..."

On the side of the couch inside the door, a slender figure sat between the curtains, holding the hand of the person on the bed tightly, tears gleaming: "Yuanhao, Chunyou is back, do you want to see him..."

The man on the bed had a pale face, sunken eye sockets, and was extremely haggard. Although he was so ill, it was not difficult to see how heroic he used to be. Cheek, smiled lowly at her:
"Let that brat wait a little longer. The king has summoned him so many times, but he has become addicted to fighting outside. He thought that the king lied to him back to the palace, proposed marriage to him, and forced him to get married. This bastard The kid is regretting it now, even if the king wants to see him get married, he has no chance..."

That beautiful figure held back tears, and clenched the hand of the person on the bed: "Yuan Hao, don't say that, you will get better, you will get better, an elder brother is like a father, you have the heart to be with Chunyou who has not yet married Time to let go..."

The man on the bed stretched out his hand distressedly, and comforted him: "Don't cry, don't cry, Ye Yang, don't shed tears, I like to see you smile the most, your smile is as bright as Xixia's phoenix flower..."

"I still remember that it was three years after you entered the palace that you smiled at me for the first time. The time flies so fast. I thought about joining hands with you for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect to take a step ahead. , Fortunately, this last part of the journey, I can still have you by my side, the king is already satisfied..."

The man on the bed laughed, his face became paler, and he said softly: "Ye Yang, you can talk to me, I have a lot of things in my heart that I want to tell you, but I have been fighting for half my life, and I am a rough person." , not as elegant as your Daliang man, always afraid of saying something wrong in front of you, making you unhappy, and not smiling at me..."

"Actually, this king knows that you still have someone in your heart. This king snatched you here. Although you stayed in Xixia Palace, your heart never belonged here."

"In those few years, I often saw you sitting under the window in a daze. You must be thinking about that person. You also painted many portraits of him. Although they were all quietly burned, I know everything... "

"Don't say it, Yuan Hao, don't say it anymore..." The woman's Qingli face was covered with tears, which could not be wiped away, but the man on the bed smiled and murmured: "No, I want to say, If you don't say it, you won't have a chance..."

"You don't know how fast this king's heart beat when he saw you at the feast of the Nine Kingdoms in Daliang Palace that year, but it was not the first time this king saw you, it was the first time this king saw you It was in a bamboo forest, you probably don't remember..."

"At that time, you were wearing a long green dress, holding a little snow-white fox in your arms, running in the sun, and accidentally dropped a shoe. This king picked it up, and hurriedly chased after it, and returned the shoe to you. I asked your name, but you just smiled at me, hugged the little fox and ran away, I was still wondering if I was born too fierce and scared you..."

"I met you again at the palace banquet later, and this king knew that your name is Ye Yang."

"Even though you sat there in good manners, not smiling, this king knows what a lively little girl you are, and how beautiful you are when you smile. It's a pity that after so many years, after you entered the king's Xixia Palace, you never Never laughed..."

The woman was lying on the head of the bed, her shoulders were trembling, her eyes were blurred by tears, and the big hand gently stroked her long hair, as if the years had frozen on her fingertips.

"For so many years, this king has not married another woman, and only guarded the little girl in his heart. Unfortunately, my little girl...does not want to give birth to my child. You think this king doesn't know, but in fact you ate it in private. This king knows those medicines better than anyone else, and this king is so distressed, but he pretends not to know and never exposes you."

"This king always thinks that the years are long, and there will be a day when you can really let go, accept this king, and willingly give birth to an heir for this king... It's a pity that this king will never see that day, but it's okay, If you don't have children to tie you down, this king can still arrange a way out for you."

The man closed his eyes and seemed quite tired after talking so much in one breath. He looked at the uplifted and beautiful face and smiled softly: "Ye Yang, go and call Chunyou in, my lord." I have something to tell him."

That beautiful figure burst into tears, as if she had a premonition, she shook her head and said in a sobbing voice: "No, let me accompany you for a while, Yuan Hao, I want to hear what you have to say..."

The man waved his hand, smiled again, and softened his tone, as if coaxing a little girl: "Be obedient, call Chunyou in, my king has something to tell him."

Between the curtains, the teary-eyed woman finally got up and left, but after only a few steps, she was stopped by the man behind her: "Ye Yang."

His call was so gentle, and his expression was so calm, like a flash of light, he vaguely reappeared the heroic demeanor of the past. When that beautiful figure looked at him from a distance, tears suddenly fell like rain.

The man raised the corners of his lips and said word by word: "Ye Yang, in the days to come, you have to smile more... For so many years, in my heart, you are still the little girl running in the sun, always It's... my little girl."

As soon as the palace gate was closed, Princess Ye Yang waited outside, listening to the miserable wind and rain outside, her face was covered with tears, her heart froze, it was unknown how long before the vermilion gate opened again.

She suddenly turned her head, only to meet a pair of painful eyes. The tall man was wearing armor and holding a box in his hand. When he met her gaze, two lines of hot tears suddenly fell, and he mourned endlessly: "Brother... is gone. "

There was a bang, thunder and lightning outside the house, and the wind and rain suddenly raged. The beautiful figure was stunned, as if he couldn't believe his ears, trembling all over, suddenly his whole body went limp, and he let out a heart-piercing cry: " Kings!"

Her long hair was spread out, she was so distraught, and as she fell to the ground and wept, a tearful voice suddenly sounded in her ear: "Sister-in-law Wang, this box contains a will that elder brother has drawn up for you. From now on, you can You are free to choose your own place to stay, and there will be no place to trap you anymore..."

"Brother, I hope that you will smile happily in the future, and live back to the former Princess Yeyang."

In the words and sentences of suppressing the tears, the figure who fell on the ground and cried bitterly was stunned, raised his head, his face with messy hair was intertwined with tears, his eyes were staring blankly at the front, as if he had lost his mind, and the whole person became in a trance...

She suddenly remembered on this thundery and rainy night that she had indeed met him on that day of that year, in that midsummer bamboo forest.

At that time, she slipped out to play with the little fox in her arms, and dropped a shoe while running excitedly. He picked it up and caught up with him, lowered his head and smiled and asked her: "Little girl, did you drop this shoe? Can you tell me?" Brother, what's your name?"

The sunshine that day was so good, cast through the mottled branches and leaves, the fragrance of grass and trees in the wind, his clothes fluttered, and his handsome eyebrows were as gentle as a dream.

Daliang, the prosperous capital, the clouds gather and the clouds disperse, the sky and the earth are rustling, and the wind passing through the palace wall is getting colder every day.

The cold winter is gradually approaching, and in a blink of an eye, Daliang's annual winter sacrificial ceremony will also be approaching. In the past, at this time, the palace school would select two disciples, a male and a female, to serve as "envoys of the gods" in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. Sacrificing to the gods and fire, connecting the gods and the earth, praying for God to bless the coming year with good weather and peace for the country and the people.

These two people have important symbolic meanings, and they must come from aristocratic and powerful families.

In the past few years, Fu Yuanzhi and Wen Renshu were the two who acted as "envoys of the gods", but this year is a bit special. Emperor Liang directly appointed Luo Qiuchi and Wen Renjun, a humble man and a concubine. It is against the rules and completely unqualified, but something has changed unconsciously this year.

Everyone only thought that Luo Qiuchi had become a new celebrity beside Emperor Liang, but they didn't know that Emperor Liang not only valued him, but also implied a determination that was inhumane.

When he wrote down the names of these two people, he murmured meaningfully: "If you want to break the family and power, reform and innovate, let's start here..."

At the end of the year, both inside and outside the palace began to get busy. When the first heavy snow fell, the moonlight shone coldly in front of Fengguo's mansion, and the ground was like silver.

Holding a book in his arms, Hang Ruxue came to bid farewell to Wen Renjun.

Wen Renjun was still a little dazed when he was called out, his nose was red from the cold, his dark eyes looked like a deer under the moonlight, and he asked blinkingly: "General Hang, you, where are you going?" ?”

Hang Ruxue said with a faint smile: "Go to Xixia, pick up Princess Yeyang and return to the country, and I will probably be able to come back in time for the sacrificial ceremony."

After hearing this, Wen Renjun suddenly realized: "Is it the Princess Xiaoye who married Xixia? No wonder, this year's sacrificial ceremony has a lot of preparations and is held in a more grand manner. Presumably there is a reason to welcome the princess back to the country, right?"

She also heard about the death of the King of Xixia. It is said that Princess Xiaoye got the imperial edict, and she can return to the country from now on, and never leave her homeland again. A happy ending.

While Wen Renjun was sighing, Hang Ruxue nodded: "Yes, it's that Princess Xiaoye. Your Majesty values ​​her very much and ordered me to escort her back. I'm going to leave immediately. Xixia is a long way away. It's been a while, that's why I came to say goodbye to you...By the way, give you this book."

"Book?" Wen Renjun lowered his head, only to find that Hang Ruxue was still holding a book in his hand, she was slightly startled: "Which is it "Shan Hai Jing"?"

"Yes, I want to give it to you."

"Why, why did you give this book to me?"

"There is no reason, maybe... I want to let go of something."

Standing in the wind and snow, Hang Ruxue smiled, her handsome face was whiter and clearer, and her eyes were never softer than before.

The sky doesn't know, the earth doesn't know, the moon doesn't know, and she doesn't know, only he himself knows.

Tonight's farewell by stepping on the snow has a unique meaning, and what is sent is not only a book, but those hazy feelings will also go with the wind and be completely let go in his heart.

Like a flower that grows in the wrong season, it is over before it blooms.

The moonlight covered Hang Ruxue's whole body. He looked at Wen Renjun and suddenly smiled and said, "If it's not good for Luo Qiu to treat you late, you must tell me, and I will teach him a lesson for you."

Wen Renjun's long eyelashes trembled, a little ignorant, she didn't understand why Hang Ruxue said this to her, but when she saw the smile on his lips, she suddenly remembered something, and said cautiously: "You, you still Suspecting that he is..."

"Yes or no is not important anymore." Hang Ruxue interrupted softly: "From the moment he knelt in the court hall, abandoned his personal fame and wealth, and pleaded for the lives of the poor in the world, the identity of Dongyi Mountain Monarch I have completely died in my heart, from now on, I will only think of him as Luo Qiuchi, and he can only be Luo Qiuchi..."

"I hope he won't disappoint me."

The clear voice echoed under the moon for a long time, Wen Renjun's eyes lit up, she was very excited, she obviously understood the deep meaning of Hang Ruxue's words, and said quickly: "Don't worry, General Hang, he will never, never let You are disappointed! There are more things he wants to do. He told me a long time ago that he wants to stand up for the underprivileged in the world, reform the selection system for officials in Daliang, and..."

Wen Renjun suddenly seemed to have opened up a conversation basket, and started talking endlessly. He almost praised Luo Qiuchi from inside to outside, from top to bottom. It seemed that there was no more perfect person in the world than him.

Hang Ruxue finally couldn't help laughing: "He is in your heart, is that all right?"

Only then did Wen Renjun come to his senses, his face blushed, but he nodded in the wind and snow, his eyes shining brightly: "Okay, very good, very good, very good... If you really have a deep friendship with him, then Will know how good he is."

"I can't talk deeply, but I have fought side by side. He is... not bad."

It's not easy to get such an evaluation from Hang Ruxue, Wen Renjun's brows and eyes are crooked with a smile, he's happier than hearing him praise himself.

Seeing her appearance, Hang Ruxue couldn't help raising the corners of her lips, and said word by word: "Miss Ah Jun, I hope he can treat you like this, and live up to your trust and affection."

"He won't let me down." Wen Renjun blurted out without thinking, and she smiled very firmly: "You don't know, he has never let anyone down."

"Not before, not now, and never in the future."

"I hope so." Hang Ruxue smiled faintly, and said softly, "Miss Ah Jun, I'm leaving, take care of yourself."

He turned around and left, covered in moonlight, and finally ended this special "farewell" that no one knew about.

Wen Renjun hugged the book in front of the door and watched him go. That handsome figure disappeared into the snow and drifted away.

There is a vast expanse of whiteness between the sky and the earth, and some things dissipate soundlessly with the wind.
