Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Hidden Dragon

The west wind blew my sideburns, and I let out an inaudible sigh in my heart.

Qi Ye walked behind me at some point, glanced at me standing in place, and said, "The county lord of Hudong is here, hiding behind the city wall." ”

As soon as I turned around, I saw a goose yellow horn suddenly flashing under the majestic corner of the city, and I couldn't say anything in my heart. After a long time, I said, "Let her be, now I don't know how to talk to her." ”

Qi Ye looked at me like this, and he already knew the suspicion between me and Lianxi, but somehow made his brows furrow faintly. Changsheng drove a carriage, and Qi Ye pulled me up, with a silent face.

In the carriage, I asked, "Where are we going?"

Qi Ye replied briefly: "Western suburbs." He sat in the carriage, and the unicorn court clothes on his body reflected his face like a crown of jade, revealing a little coldness.

I didn't know how to talk, and the atmosphere in the car became delicate.

After a long time, his voice sounded unhurriedly: "You have formed an alliance with Yan Guo?"

My heart jumped, my hands tightened, and my lips moved for a long time, but I didn't know how to answer.

Qi Ye stared at my series of somewhat cramped movements, paused for a moment, and said lightly: "That's fine." ”

I didn't expect this matter to be so lightly mentioned by him, I thought about it again and again, and said to him frankly: "I have made a covenant with the prince of the world, and on the day I defeat the Xiao family, I will support him as the king of the Yan Kingdom." ”

Qi Ye's expression became more and more solemn, I looked at his side face and wanted to stop talking, and finally swallowed the words that were about to come out of my mouth into my stomach.

After being silent for a long time, Qi Ye took my hand and sighed: "I just don't want you to be scolded by the Yan people for being unkind and unjust again when that day." ”

I leaned down on his lap, looked down at the delicate tattoos on his court clothes, and said slowly: "I grew up being scolded and selfish, what is it to be unkind and unjust? It's okay for everyone to scold me, I just beg them to stop scolding this country......"

As soon as I looked up, I crashed into Qi Ye's dark eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, but his eyes were full of pity. My heart was filled with a spring of water, and he reached out and picked me up and put me on his lap.

"Immortal is outside......" Before I could finish my words, I was sealed back by his lingering and fiery kiss. Just as I was kissing him inseparably, the carriage stopped, and Changsheng shouted outside: "General, the Wu Martyrs' Temple has arrived." ”

I was so embarrassed that I jumped out of his arms, feeling like I had been caught doing something bad. After calming down a little, Qi Ye calmly arranged his clothes on the side, and looked at me with a look of urgency.

"Blackie, get out of the car, we're here. ”

West. Wu Martyrs' Temple.

Yuwen has been loyal for generations and guards the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the later years of Gaozu, the world was the ancestral hall of the martial martyrs who laid the martial arts general Yuwenhong. After that, all the well-dressed and loyal souls of the Yuwen clan who died on the battlefield were enshrined in the ancestral hall for the world to pay homage to.

After getting out of the carriage, I had a very mixed feeling, thinking of the old people, and my eyes were dry and painful for no reason.

Stepping into the ancestral hall, the hall is full of incense, and the atmosphere is solemn. From the countless vermilion and blue spiritual positions, I saw at a glance the spirit card of Yuwen Chuyang, the general of the loyal hussars, the six words of coldness, and a free name for future generations to comment.

I glanced around, and I always felt that something was missing, and when I was stunned, I only heard Qi Ye say beside me: "Big brother, I brought Yue'er to see you." ”

Following his gaze, I looked at Yuwen Chuyang's spiritual position, sitting alone in the last row, thinking of his cold words on that rainy night, Danlu Yuan fell desolately.

"Chuyang, I'm here. I looked at his spiritual position and muttered to myself, "After waiting for so many years, I finally dare to stand in front of your spiritual position." I'm scared...... I'm afraid to see you...... I'm afraid you won't be happy to see me. Chu Yang, you are standing here alone, no one to talk to you, must be very lonely, right?"

Qi Ye silently took my hand, I turned my head and asked him, "Of the generals of your generation, is Chu Yang the only one who has passed away?"

He was inexplicably asked by me, and replied with an unpredictable expression: "Yes." ”

- The son of the Yuwen family, another man who died in Xiliang, couldn't be dressed and buried because he was just adopted?

I looked at the pieces of spiritual positions, and the vermilion-sapphire lacquered wood turned into a pair of eyes, looking at myself steadily.

"There's another one there. "Half an hour. Yuwen Qiye stretched out his finger and pointed at it, and I followed the sound to see that a wordless spirit card was hidden in an inconspicuous corner, covered with dim dust.

"He is a Zhonglang general who is loyal to his father, but when Bailu Palace changed, he followed the king of Jiaodong, and was beheaded by the emperor immediately after the defeat, and his body was broken and ashes. His father felt that he had made a mistake and couldn't bear it, so he also established a spiritual position for him. In general, he is also my older brother and my eldest brother's peers. ”

I didn't want to ask, but the words provoked by Qi Ye made me suddenly curious, and asked: "The Yuwen clan has been loyal for generations, how could his henchmen do such a rebellious thing?

"How can the battle between emperors come from right or wrong? If the king becomes a king or loses, whoever loses will be infamous through the ages. Whoever wins is the principle of heaven. Even the 'Tao' is formulated by man, so what can we talk about disobedience?"

Yuwen Qiye's tone was cold like never before, like a silver que frozen in wind and frost. I knew that he was born in Xiliang, far away from the court, and he was rebellious by nature, but I never thought that one day I would hear such bold words from his mouth.

But he was standing beside me, the familiar warmth of his palm. I looked up at the top of the ancestral hall, where the faint mica bricks were carved with fierce ancient beasts, and a pixiu opened its mouth wide to me.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

The incense mist in the Xuanji Pagoda was deep, and when I stepped into the Bodhi Gate alone again, the concubine was too thin to support a light plain jacket.

"Is it cold?" I walked up and stood beside the concubine.

"Ahem...... cough ......" Concubine Shu turned her head sideways, her face pale and haggard, "Why are you this girl?"

I gave her a slight salute and said, "Niangniang doesn't seem to welcome Zhaoyuan to come and see you. But Zhao Yuan still remembers his mother in his heart. I came to see you with Kurou that night, but there were some things I didn't have time to say to you. ”

Concubine Shu smiled indifferently: "What is so important? You can't even say Jiu'er by your side?"

I said, "Do you remember the first time I came to see the person you mentioned?" I heard that he died in Xiliang, but I have always had a long-cherished wish in my heart, and I hope that Niangniang will fulfill it for me. ”

"What long-cherished wish?"

"Can you tell me his name?"

The dzi in Concubine Shu's hand froze, she looked at me silently, for a long time, and asked me: "What can I do if I know the Tao?"

"Zhao Yuan has nothing else to ask for. Now that I've given everything I've given to Jiurou, I just want to give an account of the past. I don't have anything to do with that man...... In this way, it is also a closure. I also hope that the mother will be fulfilled. ”

Concubine Shu was noncommittal, and the dzi in her hand kept turning: "What can you do if you know the Tao? Since you know that you have no fate, why bother to worry in vain? Karma and karma, it is not easy for you and Jiu'er to get to where we are today, if you miss the future because of the past, won't you regret it?"

I gritted my teeth and said, "Zhaoyuan acts but has a clear conscience. Now that you have this plan, you will not regret it. There was something in the mother's words, which made Zhao Yuan feel uneasy when he heard it. If Niangniang is really for me and Jiulang, I hope to tell one or two, so as not to guess Zhaoyuan. ”

"You girl's mouth is really amazing. Concubine Shu stared at me for a long time, and finally relented, "I don't recognize that child, but he can tell you something." ”

My heart tightened inexplicably, and I asked, "What's the matter?"

The dzi in Concubine Shu's hand turned faster and faster, she closed her eyes, and said word by word: "That child, he is still alive." ”

"Bang-" With a sound, the brocade rope in Concubine Shu's hand broke in response, and thirty-three heavenly beads rolled down and smashed to the ground, with a messy sound.
