Chapter 40: The Past
It was already two days later when I saw Xiao Tianli again. It is said that he went on a trip to the mountains in the past two days, and when he came back, he was much haggard.
At night, I sat on the bamboo chair outside the door and looked up at the stars, it was almost winter, the night was really cold, even the light of the stars was cold, a cold wind blew, swaying the big trees, the leaves fell to the ground, and then wandered around with the autumn wind.
Xiao Tianli still came to me silently as usual, I looked at his much thinner face, and greeted: "You are here." ”
"Hmm. He sat down on the bamboo chair next to me as he spoke.
"You're a lot haggard. ”
"Hmm. ”
He was a little absent-minded, and I didn't know what to say, so I better ignore him.
Xiao Tianli said softly: "You say, where should I go." "He seemed to be talking to me, and he seemed to be talking to himself, but I didn't expect that this proud prince of Pingluo and the young master of Qipanzhai still had such a distressing side.
Young Master Xiao ...... "I called him, and he came back to his senses."
"Sometimes, I'm really confused about whether my choice is right or not. Perhaps, the fate of Pingluo has really ended. Xiao Tianli's sorrow was so clear to me.
"There was a man who told me that only when everything goes according to his heart can he be eternal. "I think of the Taoist priest who took Meng Ting away again, I don't know how Meng Ting is now, whether there will be a chance to meet in the future, and when we meet again, what will he become?
"Whatever you want...... But I also have to be worthy of those soldiers who worked hard for me and for Pingluo Country......" Xiao Tianli sighed.
"There is no substitute for who chooses whose destiny. ”
"You're a smart guy. Xiao Tianli looked up at me, his eyes were as deep as in the moonlight, "You never told me about your past. ”
"The past ......" I lowered my head under his gaze, "The past is unbearable." In life, we must look forward. ”
He nodded, was silent for a while, and said, "You're right. ”
Another cold wind blew, and he caught a dry leaf that had been blown off: "Winter is coming again." Everything is depressed, and Tiger Mountain is even clearer and lonely. However, in the spring of the following year, a fierce battle was indispensable. ”
"Next spring?"
"The Anjun army is afraid of the cold, and it will not send troops to thieves like us in winter. Speaking of this, Xiao Tianli smiled, "It has always been the second prince An Zhang who has brought the troops to pay, heh, this lazy guy, his martial arts are not very good, and his brain is not as good as his left and right generals, but he is arrogant, but fortunately, his mother's concubine has a nephew, who knows astronomy and geography, sees people and does things without leakage, and has always been loyal to his side to assist him, so that he can gain a foothold among the princes." ”
"It turns out that the second prince is such a person. "Thinking about An Shao and the sixth prince, this second prince is indeed far behind.
"His men are all drunkards, and they are all scrambling to make him happy. If he is happy, he will give him gold and silver and good land, and even add officials to knighthood. Actually, it's not just the second prince, who doesn't have a henchman. ”
In this way, there are not a few ignorant and incompetent people in the court. ”
"Yes. Anguo seems to be calm and thriving, but in fact, it is only superficial. Xiao Tianli's gaze was full of sarcasm.
Xiao Tianli suddenly changed the topic and said: "Winter is coming, you and Miss Xiao Chuan don't leave for the time being, wait for the early spring of the next year, and it's not too late to leave before the court calls." ”
"We've been bothering for more than half a month, so why don't we want to stay. ”
"If you go, the stockade will be empty again. He said softly.
I looked at him, he was looking at me, I nodded, and said, "Okay." ”
"It's not early, let's go back to the house. ”
"Well, you should go back early, the night is cool. I stood up and was just about to go back to the house, when I suddenly remembered the pioneer officer, turned around and asked, "Hasn't the pioneer officer explained anything yet?"
Xiao Tianli looked at me and shook his head.
"Tomorrow, I want to try. Okay?"
"You?"
"Well, maybe, I have a way. ”
