Chapter 598
When Qi Xuan heard Mu Ran's words like this, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, and a pair of dark pupils had already revealed a very complicated look, but he just looked at Mu Ran in front of him lightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his cold eyes, but it seemed that after a long time, he heard Qi Xuan's soft sigh, but his eyes were full of vigilance, and his sharp eyes fell on Mu Ran's body, with an indescribable deep coldness, and at the same time, I heard him say, "Who are you?" ”
Mu Ran originally turned her back, but after hearing Qi Xuan's questioning, she finally slowly turned her body, her eyes were faint, at this moment, she didn't say much, just smiled at the man who was sitting on the bed in front of him, and his face was even more pale, at the same time, Mu Ran took a deep breath, "What, General Qi was guessed by Mu Ran?" "Actually, this matter is not elusive," Mu Ran is just a conjecture, General Qi is the only younger brother of the Holy Lord today and a compatriot of the same mother, he is a very close existence, and he wants to come to the Holy Lord for the general, it is also worried and heartbroken. However, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, although the saint is wise, and for the sake of Jing Guo, the person who was born and died, in the final analysis, is just a general. When the general fought on the battlefield before, he naturally had no scruples, but now he has returned from victory, and it is such a peaceful and prosperous world, the country and the people are safe, and the saint is also very idle, and since he is idle and panicked, he can't keep it is to think more, and if he wants to think about the west. It's hard to guarantee that he won't think of some things that shouldn't be thought of, such as his future country. For example, his courtiers, and his own brothers. In this world, the most is gossip, the most meritorious person is the lord or something, and the emperor is the most jealous, even if that person is his own brother, what is wrong with the general saying that Mu Ran said this? ”
As she spoke, Mu Ran had already leaned down slightly, and her gaze was faintly falling on a begonia in front of her. A faint aroma poured in from the tip of his nose, and he didn't know what Mu Ran thought of at this time, but the slightly raised arc of the corners of his mouth was already proof of Mu Ran's thoughts at this time, and Mu Ran laughed lightly, stretched out his white and slender fingers, and when he landed on the fertile soil in the flower pot, he seemed to be very unintentional and very gently opened his mouth and said so lightly, "Such a begonia is really good to bloom." ”
Real yes or no will. The listener had a heart, Qi Xuan's eyelashes suddenly trembled, driving a slight tremor in his shoulders at this time, and he didn't know what Qi Xuan was thinking at this moment. But just looking at him like this, he knew that Mu Ran had already told the secret hidden in Qi Xuan's heart at once without mercy or tactfulness, at the beginning. It was when Mu Ran said such a thing like this, Qi Xuan knew that he would definitely not be able to hide. It's just that he didn't know that Mu knew that it would be so detailed.
In desperation, Qi Xuan seemed to be able to only talk to him. When he opened his mouth lightly, Qi Xuan's expression looked very helpless, "That's right, I can't help myself in this matter." Qi Xuan coughed lightly a few times as he spoke, in fact, when his class teacher returned to the court, Qi Xuan's heart could not be more clear, when many ministers from the court came to visit, Qi Xuan realized this, although he did not have the slightest intention of conspiring with these ministers in his heart, but since they entered the general's mansion one by one, he believed that it was the eyeliners of his royal brother, and his imperial brother would naturally know about it.
And in such a situation, whether you say it or not, it is very unfavorable for yourself. Qi Xuan, who was in a dilemma, couldn't help but finally come up with a way, that is, to be sick, and it must be the one who is terminally ill and bedridden for a long time. Qi Xuan had no choice but to be ruthless to himself, and before that, he had already handed over all his talismans, although when he made this decision, the loyal old butler beside him was very worried, he naturally knew that these talismans were things that could make the master of his family around, if there were no such things, the unimaginable consequences of qi were completely unimaginable to the old butler, as soon as he thought of this, the old butler reminded Qi Xuan that he must think twice. It's just that he didn't know that Qi Xuan had already made up his mind at this time, and no matter how he dissuaded him, he couldn't let him change his mind easily.
Mu Ran's persuasion at that time was only known later, but when the old housekeeper inadvertently mentioned this matter, Mu Ran remembered that when she was still on Kunlun Mountain at that time, her master Ziying was also such a person, saying that as long as it was something he had decided, it would not change anything, so the punishment she received on Kunlun Mountain at that time, so when she left Kunlun Mountain, her master's face was resolute, And when Chu He became the head of Kunlun Mountain, Ziying's determined expression, all this was originally thought of by Ziying, Mu Ran thought of this, only to find that her master had never changed, and when she thought of this, she showed a shallow smile again.
But these are naturally all later words.
And in this situation, when Qi Xuan in front of him was still indifferently talking about his involuntary body, Mu Ran seemed to understand the helplessness of being an emperor's family, there was no need for Qi Xuan to mention it, Mu Ran also knew that in order to hide people's eyes and ears, and Qi Xuan's hardships, needless to say, Qi Xuan had already developed a strong physique and indomitable spirit, and it was such Qi Xuan, as a brave and warlike young general, it was already very difficult to get sick, not to mention that he couldn't afford to be sick, Now that he has typhoid fever, there are a lot of imperial doctors on the side of the kilometer, and Mu Ran can also see it at a glance, but I am afraid that this typhoid fever has already hurt the heart, and Qi Xuan will never be able to go to the battlefield again in this life.
As soon as Mu Ran thought of this, when her gaze fell on Qi Xuan's body again, she didn't know what she thought of in the depths of those seemingly calm but actually turbulent eyes, but it was also at the same time. Mu Ran looked at Qi Xuan's calm eyes, as if he didn't care at all about the fact that he had already hurt his heart. Otherwise, Mu Ran would not have been able to think of what the reason was, but when Qi Xuan heard what he said, his illness might never be cured, Qi Xuan was still able to look at him with a calm expression. It seems that what he just said, but it is also an inconsequential word, Mu Ran thought of this, and his face sank again, however, when he met Qi Xuan's eyes, he still continued to speak, "The general not only poured the medicinal juice sent by the imperial doctor into the soil of this begonia flower, but in fact, it is more important. With the general's physique, in the cold winter wax moon, he washed himself with the water in the icy ice spring every night, even so, no matter who it is, under such circumstances, if he can be safe, it is obviously impossible, and Mu Ran naturally admires the general's physique and perseverance. It's just that if it goes on like this for a long time, I'm afraid that this matter is not as simple as the general thinks, as the so-called can avoid the first day of junior high school, but not the fifteenth. The general is relying on his youth and vigor to be so unscrupulous, but the general knows. In the recent years, if the general was so. I'm afraid it's not long before I die. ”
"It's a hundred, and that's good." It's just that Mu Ran frowned when he said this. Between his eyebrows and eyes was a serious and worried look, although General Qi Xuan, who was listening to Mu Ran's words at this moment, was not like this at all, his eyes fell lightly on Mu Ran's body, and the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a warm smile, and he didn't know what Qi Xuan was thinking at this time, but his expression was very light, but he didn't seem to care about his life and death, "If the girl is afraid that she will be punished by the imperial brother because she can't cure Qi Xuan's illness, you can rest assured, Brother Huang naturally won't embarrass you too much! ”
Although Qi Xuan knew that the person who could see through so many of his secrets was obviously not an ordinary person, and Qi Xuan coughed lightly a few times when he was saying this, and it could be seen that Qi Xuan's body at this time was actually very weak, if it weren't for the fact that he was sitting on the bed with difficulty at this time, I was afraid that Qi Xuan at this time would not even be able to stand steadily, and his eyes that looked at Mu Ran were slowly blurred at this moment, and he shook his head again, but at the same time, I saw the warmth and look in Qi Xuan's eyes at this moment, but Mu Ran's heart was half cold, that is, when Qi Xuan spoke, the meaning of sending off guests in those words was naturally so clear, and it was impossible for Mu Ran not to know that this was the time for Qi Xuan to be alienated from him, but when he thought of this, Mu Ran couldn't help but look stunned again, and clenched the corners of his clothes, and he didn't know what he thought of on such a pale cheek. It's just that when Mu Ran's eyes fell on Qi Xuan's body again, she heard the tremor from the bottom of her heart, she clearly knew that the person in front of her would definitely not be her master Ziying, and Mu Ran didn't know what happened later, which would make a person's temperament change greatly, when she thought of this, the person who lingered in her mind suddenly appeared, it was the pianist who was locked in the cage that Ah Luo saw at that time, her uncle, Liuli.
Qi Xuan and Liuli will eventually meet, and before Liuli cost her own life, she was unwilling to tell herself what she was after being reborn, which made Mu Ran very clueless, so she would delay the matter of mixing into the General's Mansion again and again, and she didn't want to be under the wrong circumstances, Ah Luo unveiled the imperial list, so that she had no choice but to enter in advance, and Uncle Liuli once said that when she was reborn, she Chu Muran must be able to know what she is going to do, but things are not as good as Liuli said, Because she clearly came to Jingzhou for such a long time, Qi Xuan's sudden illness occurred, and this incident was exactly the same as the previous historical records.
And according to the annals of history, think about it, since Qi Xuan became terminally ill, the soldiers and horses who followed Qi Xuan before were either taken by him actively or passively by the current earth saints, and later, the record of Qi Xuan disappeared from the history books for three years, that is, in the three years of disappearance, no one knew what happened, the only thing that was understood, according to people familiar with the matter, it was a low-key story about the young general. And later, when Qi Xuan's name fell on the annals of history again, it was the battle three years later, Qi Xuan died on the battlefield. A lifetime of fame, after all, only became a legend. Legend has it that the battle was extremely brilliant. The soldiers and horses on both sides were almost wiped out, and Qi Xuan kept his last breath. He took off the head of the opposing coach, but in exchange for his own breathing stopped, when he fell from the horse, countless spears passed through his body and chest, he stood in the midst of the slaughter of the troubled times, surrounded by gunsmoke, corpses all over the field, and died in his most glorious moment.
However, it is also a legend that no one has ever found Qi Xuan's body. Some people also said that in Qi Xuan's general's tomb, there was actually no body of him at all, and some were just empty.
Rumors are rife and there are many discussions, but no one knows whether this is true or not.
And Mu Ran thinks about it now, some of these rumors may be true, such as Qi Xuan's body at this time, if he goes to the battlefield again after three years. It must be certain death, and he was able to take off the head of the manager, which makes him very powerful, although I don't know if this matter is an exaggeration.
Mu Ran thought of this. There seemed to be a flash in his eyes, but his hands had already begun to pack up his medical box, and Qi Xuan's eyes fell on the drizzle outside the window at this time. He didn't say much, even when he spoke unconsciously. Even he felt a look of deep surprise because of himself, and Mu Ran stopped packing up the medical box at this time. I heard Qi Xuan suddenly speak faintly at this time, "The girl can play the piano?" ”
Mu Ran only felt that her hands were trembling, and when she raised her eyes, there was a suspicious look in her eyes, she didn't know why this Qi Xuan suddenly said this, could it be that he knew something? Thinking of this, Mu Ran couldn't help but gasp.
It's just that when Mu Ran was still thinking like this with a stunned expression, he didn't expect that at the same time, he saw Qi Xuan, who was standing in front of him at this moment, and suddenly smiled slowly, "Girl, don't think about it, it's just that Qi Xuan looks at the girl and seems to be able to play the piano, I just ...... It's been a long time since I've heard the sound of an orchestra. When Qi Xuan said this, Mu Ran clearly saw that the depths of his deep eyes seemed to hide something that he had never known, and when he thought of this, something seemed to flash in Mu Ran's eyes, but soon she looked calm again, "Mu Ran only knows a little about fur, if the general wants to listen to the piano, it is indeed unavoidable, but he is only afraid that Mu Ran's little insect carving skills will naturally not enter the general's ears." ”
"It doesn't matter." But he didn't want Qi Xuan to smile faintly when he heard Mu Ran say this, and he didn't seem to feel the slightest bit wrong because of Mu Ran's words, and Mu Ran saw Qi Xuan like this, although he was very puzzled by Qi Xuan's sudden behavior in his heart, but he didn't say much, and after a while, Qi Xuan had already called a few servants in the house to bring over the guqin that was still idle in Shen Shu, Qi Xuan didn't say anything at this time, but when Mu Ran sat down and stroked the qin, But I saw that his face suddenly changed.
The body seemed to tremble violently because of the sudden excitement, although Mu Ran was still caught in the sound of the piano at this time, and she didn't know the strangeness from Qi Xuan at this time, but she knew in her heart that this was actually the first piece that her master taught her, melodious and tactful, but with indescribable pathos, Mu Ran's fingers were plucking quickly, like a butterfly, wandering in this piece of piano sound, and Mu Ran was still bowing his head slightly, When her eyes fell on such a guqin in her hand, she didn't realize it at all, it was at this time, suddenly a hand suddenly clasped her wrist tightly, the sound of the piano stopped so abruptly, the strings broke and hit the back of Mu Ran's hand mercilessly, leaving a deep red scar, and Mu Ran's expression at this moment was even more stunned, when she raised her eyes to look at Qi Xuan in front of her, there was a slight incredible look hidden in her sight, It seemed that Mu Ran didn't realize why Qi Xuan was so excited to clasp his wrist all at once. And in such silence, he saw that Qi Xuan's face was getting more and more pale, and between the violent gasps, the deep burning look hidden in his eyes was more like he was about to burn Mu Ran, and then Mu Ran heard the almost indistinct voice from Qi Xuan's panting into his ears like this, and what he said was, "This song, why do you ...... It's you! ”
It was also at that time that Mu Ran finally learned the secret about this tune, the first tune she learned. Although when he heard about this, Mu Ran's heart couldn't help but chuckle. In fact, she once thought that when her master Ziying taught herself such a song, the deep sad look in his eyes was clearly telling herself the secret behind this score. It's just that when Mu Ran asked his master about this secret suspiciously. All I got was Ziying's gentle shaking of her head and a sigh, Ziying said, "Mu Ran, you are still young, and when you grow up, you will naturally understand." ”
Mu Ran nodded, she naturally believed her master's words at that time, but Mu Ran didn't expect it. She waited, but she also waited for many years at once, and then she learned a lot of tunes, although maybe behind those tunes are hidden about which unknown secret or what kind of lingering story, but after all, there is still no one that makes Mu Ran more curious than the first score she foresaw, although this matter is over, until Mu Ran later left Kunlun Mountain, she never thought that she still could not know the secret behind which song.
Mu Ran originally thought that he might never know anymore. didn't expect that it would be in such a situation that I finally knew that this piece of music was actually about a story of a first encounter. Although Mu Ran played almost the same tune, the only difference is it. But in this, there should not be such a pathetic atmosphere.
And that time. When Qi Xuan was fighting on the battlefield, that battle was very tragic. The 30,000 elite soldiers he brought were still hundreds of thousands of troops that could not be defeated by the other party, and the soldiers were under the city, retreating one after another, almost completely annihilated, and he Qi Xuan had already fallen from the horse, falling into a pile of corpses, surrounded by a turbid pungent bloody breath, and Qi Xuan was buried in such a desolate breath at that time, as if he had almost lost his breath, at that time, almost everyone thought that Qi Xuan must not be saved, but in fact, among the 30,000 corpses, Finding his Qi Xuan's body was originally a more difficult thing than ascending to the sky, so everyone only thought that Qi Xuan was dead, and no one thought about finding his body.
That's it, Qi Xuan, who still retained his last breath, was lying motionless in the bones at that time, his body covered in bruises had already lost the ability to move, the motionless Qi Xuan could barely open his eyes, and he didn't know how long he had been lying down, when the spear passed by his shoulder, he was still taken off the horse, but the other party's boss was already hit by a blow, even if Qi Xuan fell off the horse, there was no possibility of survival, The class teacher returned to the court, and Qi Xuan's consciousness was awake for a while, and then fell into the deep night.
He only felt that there was something above his head that pierced his eyes, and after a while, the brightness gradually dimmed, and the surroundings fell into a dark and dead silence, only the cold wind whistling in his ears pierced his face, and Qi Xuan felt that his beef jerky was about to die.
It is not to die, if he still lies down like this, he will either die of blood, or he will die of hunger and thirst, or he will die in this illusion, no matter how to say, he will die horizontally and vertically, die early and die late, and he seems to have no chance to escape.
It's just that Qi Xuan thinks about his own reputation, he is not a hero, he can't die as tragically as a hero, at least, he can't die in this pile of corpses, and then bury his body by the wind and sand, let his body finally turn into a handful of loess under him, after all, the horror of this is difficult for Qi Xuan to accept, thinking that maybe heroes since ancient times should have a tragic plot that belongs to heroes, Qi Xuan remembered the famous heroes in the history books he read since he was a child, But there is no one who died in this wilderness that no one cares about like him, that is, thinking of this, the unwillingness in Qi Xuan's heart suddenly seemed to erupt, his thin and withered hands were held tightly all of a sudden, and a pair of eyes that couldn't be opened because of the dust in the sky didn't know what he was thinking, but when the unwilling look that appeared on Qi Xuan's pale face became more and more intense, he suddenly finally realized, At this time, it seems that it is not because of my own dare, but because of the difficulties that can be overcome.
He didn't have the strength to do it, no matter how hard he tried, even if he clenched his teeth. His deep eyes were full of deep unwillingness, but he still couldn't open them anyway. In the same way, he could not climb out of the dust. When he thought of this, Qi Xuan's eyes were filled with a deep look of despair, his fist rudely smashed into the sand on his face, sunken down, he closed his eyes, and a pair of dry eyes had already turned red.
It's just that Qi Xuan never thought that he would hear such a flickering sound of the piano at this time, and in the midst of the illusory ethereal, Qi Xuan didn't know where the power came from, it was such a tune. But word by word, it suddenly rushed into the depths of his mind and poured into his heart, and soon, he didn't know what the reason was, and he didn't know where the strength came from, Qi Xuan's fist gradually regained a trace of strength.
He suddenly wanted to see who was playing this piece, but he didn't have enough strength to get up from the ground anyway, no! Qi Xuan had never been so desperate as he was, but between despair. He still hadn't given up hope for survival, Qi Xuan at that time, there was just one thought in his mind, that is, his fate should not be extinguished! And it was when Qi Xuan was still thinking like this. Suddenly, he slowly turned his head sideways, so his gaze had already fallen on the disgusting and rotten corpses beside him, Qi Xuan didn't see the look of disgust on his face that frowned so deeply at this time. It's just that he still knows deeply that if he still wants to stand up at this time. If he wants to continue to live, he must have enough strength!
And now there is the only way to gain strength!
Qi Xuan recalled his own memories at that time. Xihu remembered something that couldn't be more disgusting, his face became more and more pale, and his face was also disgusting, but at this time, he could only hear Qi Xuan is slowly continue to speak, "Maybe since that time, I have sworn that I will never return to the battlefield again, and it doesn't matter if I am not a general, not because of the disgusting things I did at that time, but because I should know at that time, those people, whether they are alive or dead, They were all my good brothers who were born and died, and then they died, and they died for me, if I hadn't been too impulsive and overestimated myself at the time, I wouldn't have ended up with the annihilation of the whole army, and then I ate them like this in order to be able to live......" Qi Xuan said this, his eyes were completely thinking about things that were too far away, but there was a look of extreme remorse on his face, and when he said the excitement, Qi Xuan's voice had already become choked, He couldn't help but hide his face, when his pale knuckles covered his eyes, Mu Ran couldn't see the expression on Qi Xuan's face at this moment, but when that kind of face was reflected in Mu Ran's eyes, Mu Ran couldn't help but show a deeply moved look, and Mu Ran at this moment is not a direct seller after all, what should be said.
His master Ziying never seemed to have mentioned these tragic things to herself, and she didn't know if it was because the matter itself was too sad, but because Master Ziying had hidden too much, or because her master had experienced even more sad things in the years that followed, so he kept burying his thoughts. And now she Chu Muran and Qi Xuan are just meeting for the first time, but Qi Xuan can still say so many things, and this matter also seems very strange, and although Mu Ran doesn't know what kind of mood Qi Xuan is in at this time to tell him about it, but thinking about the sad things that Qi Xuan has experienced, Mu Ran suddenly wants to slowly stretch out his hand at this time, even if it is just to comfort the young man in front of him with a sentence or two, and Mu Ran just wanted to stretch out his hand. But she felt that the distance between her sympathy for Qi Xuan was so far away, as if she herself couldn't see through Qi Xuan anyway, and she couldn't touch him, thinking like this, Mu Ran finally slowly withdrew her hand.
And it was at this time that Mu Ran seemed to understand something. Although he didn't know what Qi Xuan was hiding in his words at this time, but with his understanding of the master, her master would always only conceal it, and would not say something empty or made up, so at this time, Qi Xuan said something like this, although Mu Ran didn't know what Qi Xuan was hiding at this moment, but when Mu Ran's eyes fell on Qi Xuan's face, he didn't hesitate to believe what Qi Xuan said.
And as for Qi Xuan being able to speak so freely at this time, it is not difficult for Mu Ran to think that this is probably because of the song he just played, and obviously at this time, Qi Xuan regarded himself as the person who saved his life when he was dying, even thinking of this, Mu Ran's heart couldn't help but sink.
If Qi Xuan regarded himself as that person, Mu Ran remembered the previous bond between Liuli and him, she knew that her master had Uncle Liuli in his eyes, and in the same way, Uncle Liuli naturally loved Ziying deeply, which is now Qi Xuan, if this is the case, the ending of the two is not very good, and among them, it is very likely, Mu Ran thought, it was because of the layers of misunderstandings, Mu Ran thought about this, and a pair of eyes showed a very thoughtful look, I don't know what Mu Ran thought of at this time, she just felt that her heart was suddenly confused, and she quickly sorted out her thoughts, Mu Ran was thinking, maybe someone came to the general's mansion at the beginning, pretending to be the identity of Liuli at that time, which left such a deep misunderstanding between the two.
As soon as Mu Ran thought of this, she suddenly felt that what she was thinking was very reasonable, she was sure that the person who played the piano at that time must be her Uncle Liuli, and now she is so wrong, if Qi Xuan thinks that person is herself, Mu Ran is afraid that she will not be able to wash it even if she jumps into the Yellow River.
After all, she still deeply remembered the purpose of her coming here at this time, that is, to fulfill the wish of her master and uncle, and match them together, Mu Ran didn't want to be self-defeating because of herself, when she thought of this, she just settled down, and soon said, "The general is afraid that he recognized the wrong person, Mu Ran was not the one who saved the general's life, but this song was taught by Mu Ran's master, and she also composed it herself. ”
"You mean......" Qi Xuan's widening eyes were completely incredulous, when he told Mu Ran about this before, he wasn't sure if Mu Ran was the person he had been looking for, but he still said it, but he didn't think that what he got would be such an answer, when Mu Ran played such a tune, Qi Xuan was already not suspicious of fraud, but he didn't want Mu Ran to say such a thing, although the matter was unbelievable, but it was also reasonable.
"Then your master, where is she now?" Qi Xuan's words seemed to be a little hurried, now he is just one step away from success, he naturally will not give up this opportunity, if it is not for the old man who is not the old man, Qi Xuan will not stay in Jingzhou in order to use the power of the general's mansion, he is only afraid that he has already resigned from his official position and will no longer pay attention to the world, but in his heart, he still has an obsession that he can never let go, that is, when Qi Xuan thinks about this matter, his face becomes more and more pale, and now, He never knew that hope was so close to him, and when he thought of this, Qi Xuan's face was much better.
And Mu Ran seemed to have seized the opportunity at this time, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "It's just that the family teacher is now a musician, and he has been sent to the palace as a prisoner, and now I'm afraid that it will be more than lucky!" When Mu Ran said this, he leaned over again, with a pleading look on his face, "Mu Ran came on this adventure, I begged the general, please, save my master!" ”
"What!" Qi Xuan even showed a very surprised look on his face at this time. (To be continued......)
