Empress Afterword VI
"Letter from General Chang?" Hearing this, Akiba Bai immediately sat up, tidied up his appearance, and immediately went out of the account, took the letter in the herald's hand and unfolded it to look at it carefully.
Seeing that Qiu Yebai's expression was a little strange, Baili Chuze raised his eyebrows slightly: "What, what kind of moth is Chang Lao Qi tossing?" β
Qiu Yebai handed over the letter in his hand: "Lord Chang wants to ask me to enter Yun County for a detailed discussion." β
Baili Chuze couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, then took the letter, read it carefully, and then muttered: "That's right, this is Chang Laoqi's note, he suddenly asked you to enter Yun County to talk in detail, I'm afraid that he has already received the news of Emperor Shun's return to heaven." β
When Qiu Yebai heard this, he also nodded: "That's right, Lord Chang said that he would not surrender before, and even broke off the father-daughter relationship with Chang Qinghuan because of this." β
But this time, the foreign invasion was large-scale, Emperor Shun died, and their Chang family army has long been unable to recover the capital, only the Wen Jia army has the ability to recover the capital, Chang Jue is now in a dilemma, if they block the way of the Wen Jia army, it is to help the Hehe people to kill their own people, but if they do not block the way of the Wen Jia army, then it is equivalent to surrendering the Wen Jia army, which makes Chang Jue unacceptable.
So......
He's going to write to her, right?
"Are you going?" Baili Hatsuzawa looked at her.
Akiba Bai put the letter away, looked at the dark sky full of hearts, and said in a deep voice: "Go, why don't you go." β
"I'll be with you." He said.
She shook her head: "The letter said that he didn't want to see you, and I went to the meeting alone." β
Lord Chang is a little pedantic in this area, he hates all betrayers, especially the national teacher, in his heart, if it were not for the betrayal of the national teacher, without his huge appeal, Wen Jiajun would not have won so quickly.
"Aren't you afraid of traps?" Baili Hatsuzawa hooked the corner of his lower lip.
After all, although this Chang Lao didn't hate Ye Bai like him, he was also an undying posture.
Akiba Bai smiled and smiled faintly: "Even if it's a trap, I'm going to go." β
No matter what trap there is, but if there is a chance to take Yunxian without blood and reduce casualties, she has to take the risk and give it a try.
After all, they are all Han Chinese no matter what, and there is no reason to fight each other to the death in such a foreign invasion.
Baili Chuze looked at the calm faces of the people around him, his cool silver eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't say much.
β¦β¦*β¦β¦*β¦β¦*β¦β¦*β¦β¦
Yun County
The morning glow reflects nine days.
In the early morning, the brilliant glow shone on the earth, gilding the county seat of Yunxian with a layer of golden light, and the snow on the ground was also shining crystal clear.
Led by a school captain, Qiu Ye Bai walked to the head of Yun County, and the school captain stepped aside.
She looked at the general who was standing at the head of the city with his back to her in a night mask of bright light armor, and said lightly: "Lord Chang." β
The general didn't look back, just quietly looked at the scenery in front of him, and said for a while: "Lord Qiu is here, is this scenery good?" β
When Qiu Yebai heard this, he walked up to him and stood still, and also looked out of the city with him: "Lord Chang is so interested, but the sunrise in this Yun County is indeed a famous scene." β
Lord Chang smiled slightly: "Exactly, this Yun County was originally called Dingning County, I heard that when Grandpa Tai invaded the capital of the Celestial Empire, he passed by here, and saw that the sunrise in Yun County was excellent, and the Rui Qi was thousand, and the clouds were thousands of miles, so he changed this place to Yun County." β
He paused, and then replied: "It's just that people say that the flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year, but I think this history is always similar." β
Autumn leaves raised their eyebrows slightly: "Yes." β
If there really is such a history, then hundreds of years later, he will lead a large army to come, and he will also go to capture Beijing, and the history is indeed so similar.
Lord Chang smiled bitterly: "It's just that the former victor has become the loser now, it's really ......." β
"The cycle of heaven is just a cycle, but our history is also in this kind of reincarnation, zigzag forward, our territory and territory are expanding, the world we know and see is also constantly expanding, in the previous dynasty, gunpowder was only used for artillery and fireworks, now we are used to attack cities and seize land, and in the previous dynasty, we only knew that there was Great Qin, but now we know that there are more countries on the other side of the ocean, more magical existences, everything is developing and advancing." Akiba Bai interrupted him faintly.
Not to mention that the women of the previous dynasty were very restricted, and the men and women were strict enough to destroy the body and mind of women, and the women of Tianji were able to reconcile and separate, and there were also female scholars, and extremely talented women could serve as low-level female officials in Hanlin, and the status of merchants was also greatly improved.
It's a pity that shipping and maritime trade have been banned, and it has gone against the grain.
When Lord Chang heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "This ......." β
Yes, although the Central Plains has changed dynasties, once a son of heaven and a courtier, it has not experienced a major chaos, and everything has developed smoothly.
Although the present dynasty has declined, the people are open, and the prosperity and prosperity of the past were not achieved when the previous dynasty was at its peak.
All...... Is everything just moving forward?
"Look at the clouds in the sky, no matter how it changes, but it is always so clean, it floats quietly in the sky, and it never cares what the world says about its fickleness, because it knows that it is a cloud, and it has never really changed." Autumn leaves turned his head to look at Lord Chang.
Lord Chang looked at Autumn Leaf's white face, and looked at the light of her beautiful eyes shining in the sun, sharp and brilliant, open and broad.
People can't help but want to be convinced.
It also made his mood suddenly become very complicated, and he chuckled after a while: "When I worked with Lord Qiu in my early years, I knew that Lord Qiu was not only extremely capable, but also very eloquent, and it was definitely not a thing in the pool, but I didn't expect that it would really turn into a dragon when it met a storm, which was admirable." β
Of course, he knew what Akiba Bai was trying to sayβshe wanted him to understand that no matter what the world said about his decision today, he himself knew that his heart was loyal, and he was not greedy for life and afraid of death, but for the people of Shangjing.
Qiu Yebai looked at Lord Chang and sighed lightly: "Lord Chang's loyalty to the imperial court, heaven and earth can be seen, the sun and the moon can be learned, just like my Qiu family was originally born in the Bai family, the founding family, but now it has become the person who ended the imperial court, it is really ironic, but after so much, you should know better than me that the imperial court is exhausted, and why I have come to this point." β
Lord Chang turned his face and looked at the dazzling sunlight, for a while, his expression was stunned: "Of course I know." β
It's just that I know it too well, that's why I'm so entangled, it's so ...... Helpless.
After a moment, he suddenly turned around, raised his hand, and pulled out the sword in his hand and rested it on her neck.
Akiba was stunned, but she didn't make a move, only letting the sharp sword on her neck bite her skin, and she could even feel the subtle pain that pierced the skin.
"If you go to the meeting alone, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Lord Chang looked at her coldly: "You said so much, but it can't change the fact that you are a traitor." β
She looked at the traces of wind and frost in the corners of Lord Chang's eyes, and said lightly: "Will you kill me?" β
The atmosphere above the city walls was strange and tense, and the atmosphere above the city towers was also extremely tense.
"It's not good, then Chang Lao really did it!" Yibai looked at the situation, his face turned green, and he immediately looked at his master.
But he saw that his master was standing calmly behind the hidden tree, just looking thoughtful, but not panicking.
"National teacher?" Shuangbai naturally saw it, so he whispered tentatively.
If the national teacher didn't speak, he really wouldn't be able to tell whether it was the national teacher or His Royal Highness standing in front of him.
Because when the two of them didn't speak, there was no obvious difference between them now, and their eyes were even the same indifferent or unfathomable.
"National teacher, give me a word, and the last general will immediately take someone up to clean up the old man who is putting up the shelf." Lao Chang stood aside with a big knife and glared viciously at Lord Chang on the wall.
He is calm and calm, and rarely shows such annoyance, just because this Chang Jue Ye was originally his family master, and Lao Chang Gong also had great favors to him, but later Chang Jue Ye was jealous of his high merits, and he refused to obey discipline, so he forcibly expelled their children with the surname of Lao Chang Gong, although they also disliked Chang Jue Ye was a master whose talent and talent were not as good as Lao Chang Gong, but he was blindly commanding as a general of a high-ranking family, but this was 'expulsion', so the two sides had old grievances.
In addition, Lao Chang fought with Lord Chang several times later, each with deaths and injuries, which added a new hatred, and now seeing that the old enemy actually put a sword on the neck of Autumn Leaves, this new hatred and old hatred add up, and Lao Chang naturally wants to clean up this Lord Chang well.
But Baili Chuze just waved his hand and said lightly: "No need, I will go in person, and none of you should come with me." β
"Huh?" Lao Chang and the others were stunned for a moment, and before they could react, the people in front of them were gone.
Yibai reacted the fastest, but he didn't go out, but turned around and stopped Shuangbai and Lao Chang and the others who were about to go out, with a cold expression but insisted: "The national teacher has an order, let's just wait here." β
He is absolutely obedient to Baili Hatsuzawa's orders.
Ordinary people are in a hurry, but there is no way but to stare dryly.
And on this city wall, Qiu Yebai looked at Lord Chang's gaze, unusually calm and calm, but her calm and calm made Lord Chang's hands tremble slightly.
He looked at the woman in front of him for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "Yes, I won't kill you, kill the princess of Wenjia, I will be a sinner in the world." β
The princess of Wenjia is now a legend in the eyes of the world, and many women even did not hesitate to disguise themselves as men to join the Wenjia army because they heard the legendary story of Qiu Yebai.
And after Qiu Yebai knew, he simply let Ning Dong and Ning Qiu be generals, and gathered a group of women's troops, who were specifically responsible for logistics support and Wen Jiajun's treatment of medical wounded soldiers.
The children of the rivers and lakes, come and go chic and frank, the other party has never promised anything, nor has it been regarded as failing her, she simply accepted all the children's affections, and ran this team all the way to a good reputation, since then this lady has repeatedly made military achievements and is famous.
What's more, this move has given many orphans and widows a way to live, and it has also given many women who have been forced by the world to have no way to live.
Such a shocking thing, after it was spread, although it was mixed, but it added a legendary color to Autumn Leaf White, and its reputation has climbed to the peak.
What's more, only the Wen Jiajun can expel the Hehe people and rescue the people of the capital!
If he kills Qiu Yebai, then not only will the people of the world not be able to forgive him, but even Qinghuan will probably never forgive him.
He closed his eyes, suddenly turned around, and said to the captain beside him: "Go, open the city gate, and welcome Wen Jiajun into the city." β
Qiu Yebai was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Lord Chang to agree so quickly, but the captain didn't seem to be surprised at all, turned around and ran downstairs.
It's just that before the captain left, he glanced at Lord Chang with a rather sad expression, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.
But before she could think about it, she saw that the sword in Lord Chang's hand seemed to be too heavy, and it fell to the ground with a 'clang'.
Lord Chang seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, he trembled slightly and tore off a piece of tiger head hanging from his belt and handed it to her: "Take it." β
Autumn leaves white looked at the pure copper gilt tiger head card, on which there was a huge ancient seal "Chang" word, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Why, Lord Qiu even dares to move the national honor of Tianji, but doesn't he dare to take this tiger head card?" Lord Chang looked at her slightly stunned expression, but laughed, as if her consternation had pleased him.
Qiu Yebai glanced at Lord Chang, and simply raised his hand to take the tiger head card.
Seeing her take over the tiger head card, the smile on the face of Lord Chang became a little ethereal and dim: "This tiger head card is divided into three points on weekdays, which represent the left army of my Chang family army, the right army and the middle army horse, only I can combine them into a tiger head card, so with this tiger head card, the Chang family army can know that this is my instruction, and the princess can order the Chang family army up and down, don't dare to disobey." β
Autumn leaves white heard this, a look at the tiger head card, sure enough, there are three strange gaps like gorgeous patterns on it, if you don't pay attention to it, you think this is the pattern engraved on it.
She was secretly saying that this Chang family was really cautious, and used this method to prevent someone from falsely passing on the commander's military orders.
It's just that......
"You don't have to give me this token, I believe that if the lord is here, what you say will be more useful than this tiger head card." Autumn leaves white looked at Lord Chang and said.
When Lord Chang heard this, he slowly turned his head to look outside the city wall with a complicated expression: "The last general heard that after His Majesty returned to heaven, he asked his body to stand on the city wall, and only said - the king died and the son of heaven guarded the country. And the family motto of the Chang family - swear allegiance to the imperial court, never have two hearts, never surrender, since Your Majesty has been martyred, as a courtier, and handed over the only power to restore the country to the enemy, how can the last general still survive in the world? β
With that, he jumped on tiptoe and jumped headlong towards the city!
When Lord Chang spoke, Qiu Yebai already felt that something was wrong, but he didn't expect him to be a martyr, but she reacted very quickly, and she was a first-class master.
But Lord Chang had the heart of death, and when he saw Qiu Ye Bai coming to save him, he suddenly raised his hand, and the sleeve arrow on his arm instantly shot out several poisonous arrows towards Qiu Ye Bai's face.
If Akiba Bai doesn't want to be hit by an arrow, he must immediately let go and return to protect it.
Seeing Lord Chang fall suddenly, with an expression of begging for mercy on his old face, there was a sound of everyone in the Chang family army gasping or screaming in panic, and she couldn't help but scold angrily: "Foolish loyalty!" β
All this happened between lightning and flint, but it made her heart instantly twitch - when the battle was at its fiercest, when Wen Jiajun lost a lot of people, she thought that she might kill this person on the battlefield, but she really never thought that she would force such an old minister to death.
Although this is really not what she forced to die, but ...... Whether in the eyes of the world or in her own heart, Lord Chang's death is inseparable from her.
I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me!
But just when Lord Chang was about to fall under the tall city and shatter his bones, a figure suddenly swept by like a streamer, and the man's wide sleeves flicked, as if holding up a huge air current, and Lord Chang was also an eight-foot-tall man, like a fallen leaf in the air current, he spun lightly in mid-air, and then was supported and gently landed on the snow.
Akiba Bai looked at this situation, and his heart, which had been raised, finally slowly let go.
She couldn't help but look at the white shadow, which happened to meet the man's cold and gentle silver eyes, he stood in the snow, his skin was brighter than snow, his silver hair was scattered, looking at her, smiling slightly.
She looked at him, and the corners of her lips slowly curled into a gentle smile.
She likes this tacit understanding β this tacit understanding that belongs to soulmates.
β¦β¦*β¦β¦*β¦β¦*β¦β¦*β¦β¦
"Daddy, why did that uncle jump off the building?" The little girl's childish voice sounded by the pond.
"Well, probably because he can't catch fish in the pond." Another man's gentle and cool voice rang out.
Xiao Yue'er moved her little buttocks, and reached out with some dissatisfaction to pull her father's beautiful silver hair that fell down: "Daddy, don't fart casually like Xiao Ri'er." β
Baili Chuze didn't care about her pulling her hair, only held the little person sitting on her lap with one hand, and held the swaying fishing rod in her hand with the other: "First, it's not easy to dig a hole in the pond in winter, you have to concentrate on fishing, talk so loudly, the fish will run away, and second, only the boy will open his fart." β
Xiao Yue'er raised her delicate little eyebrows slightly, and said in a milky voice: "First, it only took a moment for Daddy to dig the hole, so it's not difficult, Uncle Yibai said that the fish have nothing to eat this winter, they are slow, and they are stupid, so they will definitely not run away because we speak loudly, which is not scientific; Second, my mother is also a girl, Aunt Chun and Aunt Dong are girls, and the aunts of the Women's Army are all girls, and they often talk about fart, so Daddy is not right. β
Baili Chuze: "......." β
Whether he is Baili Chu or Yuan Ze in his life, it seems to be ...... I don't have a mouth that can say this.
Yibai was tossing the bait on the side, listening to Xiao Yue'er's tirade, and suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha...... Where does Xiao Yue'er look like you and Si Shao gave birth to, but like Si Shao and Shuangbai's noisy hens...... Bear...... Happy birthday, I wish you a happy birthday, every year has today, every year has today. β
Before he finished speaking, he saw a pair of cold and cold eyes swept over from Baili Chuze, and he knew that he had said the wrong thing just now, and he made a strange bend.
It's just a bit of a ...... Belch...... It's a little bigger.
"Poof!" He only felt a kick in the buttocks, and instantly screamed, and fell headlong into the hole of the cold pond.
Xiao Yue'er looked at the person who fell into the pond, shook her little brain with her double bun, and sighed milkily: "Alas, you can't live if you do your own evil." β
Knowing that Chu Daddy hates to compare all male creatures with his mother's relatives the most, he is still taboo, and he still thinks she is noisy, and he doesn't want to think that she Xiao Yue'er dislikes him, a nanny male stupidity, will lower her and Xiao Ri'er's IQ?
Baili Chuze looked at the cute little girl in his arms who looked old-fashioned, and suddenly remembered that maybe Xiaobai was so cute when she was young, so she reached out and helped her gently pull the broken hair on the cheeks of the little man in her arms behind her little ears: "Don't pay attention to the stupid, yes, what is 'unscientific'?" β
Is this what Xiaobai taught the little girl?
Xiao Yue'er nodded her little brain: "What my mother said, unscientific is unreasonable, and science is reasonable." β
Her mother often taught her a lot of strange words, but they were very concise and condensed, which was interesting.
Baili Chuze listened to Xiao Yue'er speak, and he was not surprised, he only nodded, and looked at the sky again: "Well, do you still want to fish, your mother is about to finish the discussion, and it's time to eat." β
Xiao Yue'er looked at the still early sky, and then looked at Yibai who was struggling in the pond, and suddenly took out a few small candy fruits from her sleeve, raised her chubby little hand and sent them to Baili Chuze's mouth, and continued to say in a milky voice: "Daddy is hungry, you and Daddy Ze can't help but be hungry, my mother said that the candy heart fruit is quite hungry, you take it first, don't be hungry." β
Baili Chuze felt the little paw on his lips, his eyes instantly became more gentle, and he lowered his head and bit the candy fruit sent by the little girl with a smile: "What's the matter, you little girl is so hearted, don't you want to go back to eat?" β
Xiao Yue'er's big bright eyes flashed twice, pointed to Yibai fluttering in the pond, and said happily: "After Uncle Yibai fell, he fluttered a lot of fish up, is it that the bait is big, you can catch more fish, Xiao Yue'er still wants to catch fish for a while!" β
This is the first time Baili Chuze has taught her to fish, and the little girl can't tell the difference between fishing rods and fishing, and now this is ...... It's not actually fishing.
When Baili Chuze heard this, he turned his face to look, and sure enough, he saw a lot of fat big white fish fluttering out of the edge of the pond - it was all because someone struggled after falling, and the fish jumped out of the water in fright and fell on the edge of the hole.
Yibai instantly had a little bad premonition.
It can't be what he thinks it is, right?
I'm sorry~ I'm not in Shenzhen these days, it's too late to come back today, and I'll make up the remaining 4,000 tomorrow.
