North Heaven Horseshoe Disease Chapter 4 The North Sky is cold and the sand is dark

By the time the morning light had dispelled the darkness of the night, the homeless people who had slept in the wilderness had already packed up and loaded their belongings into carriages.

Yesterday's thrill turned into an unexpected gain, which made this group of homeless people who had been walking for many days have a lot of supplies and more horses to pull carts, which is really a relief in the snow.

Countless times of sleeping and going on the road, not only did not dilute people's longing for their homeland, but it became stronger in their hearts, but because of the persecution of livelihood and survival, the barrier of Guanshan, their homeland has been unable to go back, and they have to leave this longing to every place where they sleep.

Every time they pulled out the camp, they would clean up the camp and leave nothing behind.

On a mountain beam, Zhao Yi and Cui Shusheng stood side by side, looking at the busy crowd in the distance, neither of them spoke, as if they didn't want to spoil the atmosphere at the moment.

Jiang Wenyu had just finished saying goodbye to them and was walking towards the homeless team.

Later last night, Jiang Wenyu found Mr. Lu and suggested that he lead this group of displaced people to settle in Liangzhou, which is the territory of the Jiang clan, the Jiang clan and the Rong country are mortal enemies, just to protect them, and Jiang Wenyu patted his chest and promised to provide them with a place to live.

Mr. Lu agreed in one bite, which made Jiang Wenyu, who had prepared a full stomach full of rhetoric, suddenly useless, but he was already indescribably happy in his heart, this is not only to recruit hundreds of young and strong manpower for Liangzhou, as well as a very famous Mr. Lu, the most important thing is that the Qingxin girl will also follow to Liangzhou.

Jiang Wenyu found Zhao Yi and Cui Shusheng, told him about it, and said that he wanted to stay in the homeless team, escort the homeless people all the way to Liangzhou, and asked the two to join him, saying that they could just go to meet his father and brother.

Zhao Yi said that he wanted to go to Xijing, and Cui Shusheng also said that he wanted to go to Xijing to have a look, Jiang Wenyu knew the purpose of Zhao Yi's trip to Xijing, so he had no choice but to stop reluctantly, saying that he would go to Xijing to find them after settling down this group of displaced people.

Cui Shusheng still stood with his hands in his hands, his expression was relaxed and chic, this trip to the north not only allowed him to see the scenery of the north that is different from the south of the Yangtze River, but also made two good friends, his trip was worth it.

However, there are also cruel and bloody battlefields that make his heart heavy, and a long queue of displaced people, which he can't see in Jiangnan.

In his heart, he had some realizations that Jiangnan Shilin's chanting of the wind and the moon now seemed to be only superficially spending time, and Yan Zhao's generous tragedy was really a colorful movement composed by the lives of countless people.

Even if these lives are seen as humble.

For the first time, he felt that the sages who were revered as saints by the world did not only write books and speeches, but also lay in the power of their own actions.

Cui Shusheng thought so, and in his heart, he really felt ashamed of his previous frivolous life.

Zhao Yi's slightly childish face has experienced the infection of wind and sand smoke, but it is still ruddy and delicate, without losing its beauty, under the reflection of the morning light, the clear outline is revealed, and the firm and bright eyes make him more heroic between his eyebrows.

The people had already packed up and set off for the northwest, and a long procession had formed over the wilderness of the morning light.

One person and one rode away from the team, rushing to the mountain beam where Zhao Yi and Cui Shusheng were standing, the horse's hooves under the crotch rolled, the withered yellow vines flew under the horse's hooves, and the girl on the horse was slender, and the hair on her head rose and fell with the rhythmic sound of horses' hooves.

The two men on the ridge of the mountain looked at the girl who rode towards them in a daze, and they did not come back to their senses until the girl rode in front of them.

The girl turned over and dismounted, her posture was vigorous, like a battlefield athlete, and her delicate face was like a flower in the wind.

"Miss Lu, do you have anything else?" asked Cui Shusheng with a smile.

The girl standing in front of the two of them smiled at Cui Shusheng with a slightly red face and said, "I want to say a few words to Zhao Yi." ”

Cui Shusheng didn't understand it, so he walked aside with a smile, and at the same time, he had already begun to feel sorry for Jiang Wenyu in his heart.

After Cui Shusheng left, the girl straightened her face, and her eyes looked at Zhao Yi a little cold, Zhao Yi was swept away by the girl's eyes, and her heart became a little cramped, and she didn't dare to face it, but she was also curious about what she wanted to say to herself.

The girl stretched out her hand, handed the short sword she was carrying in front of Zhao Yi, and said, "Here you go!"

"Huh?"

Zhao Yi, who was a little flustered, looked at the short sword in the white jade hand in a daze, and didn't understand why she gave him the short sword.

The girl's eyes were bright, but her face was still as plain as water, and when she saw that Zhao Yi didn't answer, she said again: "Take it!" What my father said doesn't represent me. ”

When she said this, no matter how calm the girl was, her face still couldn't hide it, and some blush appeared.

She shoved the short sword in her hand into Zhao Yi's arms, then turned around and got on the horse, urging the horse that sat down to run back to the group of displaced people, leaving Zhao Yi behind him in a daze.

"Zhao Yi, what did Miss Lu tell you? Hey, isn't this the short sword that Miss Lu has with her?" This is all for you!" Cui Shusheng didn't know when he returned to Zhao Yi's side.

Zhao Yi put the short sword in his waist, turned around and walked in the opposite direction to the homeless, Cui Shusheng saw that Zhao Yi looked depressed and worried, so he hurriedly followed, and said with a smile: "Zhao Yi, I have something I want to tell you." ”

Zhao Yi asked as he walked, "What's the matter?"

Cui Shusheng learned from Jiang Wenyu's appearance and laughed: "Your relationship with Miss Lu is not ordinary, right?

Zhao Yi stopped suddenly, turned around and asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

"I guess, that's true!"

Zhao Yi silently lowered his head, turned his head to look in the direction of the homeless, and said softly: "Not now." ”

Cui Shusheng said happily: "That's just right!"

Zhao Yi looked at Cui Shusheng puzzled, thinking that he also liked Lu Qingxin, and after staring at him, he shook his head and walked forward.

Cui Shusheng observed his words and knew that Zhao Yi had misunderstood what he meant, so he hurriedly followed and explained: "Big brother, you misunderstood what I meant, I want to introduce my sister to you, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time." ”

Zhao Yi instantly felt that Cui Shusheng, who had always been steady, had become more frivolous and casual than Jiang Wenyu, but when he turned his head to look at the look on his face, he didn't seem to be just talking casually to make him happy, so he asked, "You mean it really?"

"Of course it's true, can I talk nonsense about this kind of thing? One of you is my brother and the other is my dearest sister, and I am responsible. Cui Shusheng looked sincere and tried to confirm the identity of this matchmaker.

Zhao Yi was amused by Cui Shusheng's sincere look and somewhat absurd behavior, this smile made even his chest, which had been clogged and depressed, become more transparent.

"Scholar, I didn't expect you to speak so directly. Zhao Yi said with a smile.

Cui Shusheng flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back and said: "That's, I have always liked to go straight, just like my home, you can see the mountain when you open the door." ”

Zhao Yi smiled: "Scholar, you have a heart, but let's talk about this later." ”

"Okay, when we finish going to Xijing, then go directly to my house to see my sister. ”

The two walked all the way in the wilderness, talking all the way, but most of the time Cui Shusheng was nagging, and most of the things he said were about his sister.

At first, Zhao Yi was listening to it for fun, but later after Cui Shusheng's mouth added oil and vinegar to the mouth of the scholar, he became a little curious about the woman named Cui Fengyin.

"Zhao Yi, do you know, my sister has been determined not to marry a first-class person in the world since she was a child. ”

"Scholar, then you will mess up the mandarin duck spectrum, I am not a first-class character, I am a commoner now, and I will definitely not be able to enter your sister's eyes. ”

"How can my vision be wrong, there is a way, how can the golden scales be a thing in the pool, and they will turn into dragons when they encounter wind and clouds, and they are talking about Zhao Yi. ”

Zhao Yi listened to Cui Shusheng's serious praise and laughed unconsciously.

After relieving themselves of the burden of their hearts for a moment, the two teenagers regained their original appearance, full of youth and bright smiles, sometimes laughing and sometimes singing, and their voices were heard far away in the wilderness.

"Scholar, your sister won't be ugly, right?" Zhao Yi suddenly asked.

Cui Shusheng, who was raising his hands and being high-spirited, after listening to Zhao Yi's words, as if he was stuck in his throat by a fish bone, he stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then shook his head vigorously and said: "No, no, my sister was born very beautiful, and her literary talent is beyond my reach, my sister's name has spread all over Jiangzhou, and how many wealthy families have come to propose marriage, but my sister has pushed it away." ”

Zhao Yi looked at the excited look on Cui Shusheng's face, and couldn't help but be more suspicious in his heart, but said: "It's really a blessing for your sister to have such a caring brother as you." ”

"That's that!"

The two of them climbed a mountain beam, and when they looked up, a meandering river appeared in front of them, the banks of the river were decorated with some emerald green dots, and the air was more alive.

"Zhao Yi, is that Guzang City over there?" Cui Shusheng stretched out his hand and pointed to a big city surrounded by loess walls in the distance.

"Not bad!" Zhao Yi nodded.

"The big river has nine curves to the heavenly pool, the sunset looks at Lianluo City from afar, the scenery of the north is really different from our Jiangnan, if my sister comes here, I don't know how many beautiful poems to make. Cui Shusheng looked obsessed and ecstatic.

In the three sentences, his sister is always mentioned.

Zhao Yi saw the big city in the distance, and many past events came to mind, it was the winter of one year, much colder than now, he was ordered to lead a team of soldiers and horses to sneak attack Guzang City, but he didn't want the other party to be prepared, a sneak attack turned into an open attack, and the other party also had martial arts masters in charge.

After a tragic battle, although they finally captured the city, seventy percent of the two thousand soldiers and horses he led fell under the city of Guzang.

It was that great war that made him lose his most powerful assistant, his best brother.

"It's not a big river, and there's no L.A. Zhao Yi smiled bitterly.

Cui Shusheng rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Zhao Yi, you have been in the army for a long time, and there is no romantic interest at all. ”

Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said exaggeratedly: "Let your talented man laugh, I am a cow chewing peonies, and I have ruined the Yaxing of Cui Dacai." ”

Zhao Yi was born in the south of the Yangtze River, grew up in Guanzhong, lived a life of brocade clothes and jade food when he was a teenager, he also soaked in the pile of poems and books, not only saw the wind and the moon under the moon before the flowers, but also participated in the clear talk of the flowing water, but that kind of humorous and elegant Xing, in the past few years of Jin Ge Iron Horse, it has almost been consumed.

Cui Shusheng put away his smile and said seriously: "Zhao Yi, you are too modest, when I was in Jiangnan, I saw a lot of so-called young celebrities, but compared with you, they have all become clowns who jump off the beam, and it is okay to do some sour poems and boast about yourself, and when it comes to momentum and mind, it is not worth lifting shoes for you." ”

"Really, what kind of person do you think you and I are?" Zhao Yi asked with interest.

He really loves this Jiangnan scholar in his heart, not only is he sincere and frank, but also not like those sour and rotten talents, he only does a few pieces of poems and essays that are searched and scraped into the stomach, and Cui Shusheng really has some literary knowledge in his stomach.

Cui Shusheng took a few steps with his hands down, and a few dead grass were trampled under his feet, making a creaking sound, he pretended to look up at the sky, looked down at his feet, and then cleared his throat and chanted:

"The north sky is cold and the sand is dark, and the vines and grass are withered and yellow, and the horseshoe is sick. ”

Zhao Yi read it softly a few times, and just wanted to praise Cui Shusheng for a few words, but suddenly thought of a little, and said in a lost voice: "It's not good, we have to go back quickly." ”

"What's wrong?" Cui Shusheng hurriedly asked.

"They are in danger. ”

What Lu Wu said last night and his attitude made Zhao Yi's heart extremely uncomfortable, and at this moment, he thought that they were in danger, but he still couldn't care about it.

This time he hurriedly came west from Bingzhou, and Zhao Yi's main purpose was to save the Lu father and daughter.

Lu Wu can dissociate himself from him, but he can't change his original intention.
