Qiyun changed her clothes and bandaged her wounds. Back in his room, he leaned lazily against the head of the bed, but he was a little anxious, hoping that Tuoba Tao would come back safe and sound. After waiting for a long time, I finally heard a loud movement outside, and it seemed that Tuoba Tao and they had returned safely.

The light in the room was getting dimmer and dimmer, but no one came to visit her, and the smile on the corner of Qiyun's mouth became fading and fading.

After waiting for a long time, the door opened with a "squeak", and a person walked in lightly. Qiyun looked up and was shocked to see that the person who came was not Tuoba Tao, but the woman in white who had gone to save people with He Guang before.

The woman was masked with a white veil, and the lotus step moved lightly, walked to the head of Qiyun's bed, and took off the white veil below, revealing a beautiful and cold face. The person who came turned out to be the head of the Tongwen Hall in the Chaoying Palace-Han Bi.

"Lord Zhuohua, long time no see." Han Bi saw Qiyun's shocked expression, and his expression was a little proud, "The county lord must be very surprised, I can't figure out how I appeared here." The palace lord sent me here to assist the county lord. The county lord is isolated here, and the palace lord specially asked me to help the county lord. The palace lord is really caring for the county lord! ”

"Tell the palace master on my behalf, Qiyun is here to thank the palace master for his concern." Qiyun came back to his senses and replied lightly, suddenly remembering the doubts in his heart before, "It turned out that you told the owner of He Zhuang that someone was going to assassinate King Taiping and them, and it was you who passed on the news." ”

"I am in charge of the Hall of Knowledge, and the information is naturally smoother than others. Even the news that King Taiping's mother learned was also passed on by us. However, I would also like to thank the county lord for helping King Taiping to set up the formation and resist for a while, so that they can be safe and sound before we arrive. Then, venture out and come to the news. At dinner, they tell your story and their brows flutter. It's just that Han Bi felt strange, why did the county lord hide and not see anyone? Could it be that the county lord has something on his mind? Han Bi's eyebrows were raised, with a sneer.

Qiyun ignored her and said coldly: "I'm a little tired and want to rest." Chill the matter, you can do it yourself. ”

"I saw that the county lord did not attend the dinner, for the sake of the county lord's body and bones, I have asked my subordinates to prepare some for you." Han Bi clapped his hands and showed that the person who was surprised brought the food and stretched out his hand to ask, "County Lord, please use it slowly." Hunger is a big deal, and Hanbi retired. With that, he walked away in a curling manner.

Qiyun was extremely depressed, and just wanted to lift the table of food. But on second thought, it's really not worth starving for those people. She ate half a bowl of rice, but she felt that she couldn't swallow it, so she simply put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked out of the room, dazed but didn't know where to go.

She held a flute in her hand and walked casually. Passing through a forest, I saw that in the Yunmeng Pavilion near the water in front of me, Tuoba Tao was sitting in the middle, and said something to Si Ning, Si Ning listened, and smiled shyly and bowed his head. After a while, Si Ning raised his head and took out the silk handkerchief in his sleeve to wipe it off Tuoba Tao's forehead, as if to wipe him, and the two looked intimate and gentle.

Qiyun stared blankly, her heart seemed to have been hit by something, fluttering, and she didn't know where it was going to fall. Looking up at the sky, I saw that the moonlight was just right, and there were a few clouds floating around, the mist was hazy, and the smoke was light. I don't know how many people in the world will think of Qiyun when they look up at the beautiful clouds in the sky? The only one who thinks about himself is his mother, right?

At this moment, she doesn't know what her mother is doing, she is not by her side, can anyone explain her mother's faint sorrow? Can her frowning brow be smoothed out for her? I can't go back home. There is no one who is a confidant. Could it be that I can really only be like a floating cloud in the sky, helpless and drifting with the wind?

Thinking of her loving mother and the home she couldn't go back to, Qiyun's thoughts were chaotic, and she held a horizontal flute and played it.

The night was silent, in the Yunmeng Pavilion, He Sining and Tuoba Tao heard the sound of the flute, melodious with a little worry, Sining couldn't help but praise: "What a clear flute, who is playing?" ”

Tuoba Tao ignored her, just listened attentively. For a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and there was tenderness in his eyes that he had never seen before. After a while, Tuoba Tao said to her apologetically: "Si Ning, it's late at night, you should go back to your room early to rest." Otherwise, your face will be ugly tomorrow. ”

Si Ning stood up and asked shyly, "Your Highness, aren't you leaving?" ”

Tuoba Tao replied with a smile: "I'll sit here for a while, I won't send you back, let a maid accompany you back!" ”

Sining was helpless, so she had to salute him Yingying and leave.

Tuoba Tao got up and followed the sound of the flute, and saw Qiyun alone in the distance, holding a horizontal flute and playing against the moonlight. He stood there and watched silently for a long time.

Waiting for Qiyun to blow a song, he slowly stepped forward and said loudly: "What a clear night, such a beautiful flute." Yunqing, how many of you still don't know about this king? After that, his eyes looked straight at Qiyun with a complicated expression.

The night was hazy, Qiyun couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, he was discouraged in his heart, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him, and wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Tuoba Tao, "The moonlight is just right today." Why don't you invite Yun Gongzi to have a few drinks in Yunmeng Pavilion? Seeing that she didn't answer, she said, "Young Master Yun, as a man, you can't even drink, right?" He was in front of her, and he felt a sense of oppression.

Qiyun heard him call himself the king and call himself Yun Gongzi, the meaning of life was obvious, and his heart was even more discouraged, and he followed him silently.

In the Yunmeng Pavilion, Tuoba Tao asked the girl to put the wine and food on the table again and invited Qiyun to take a seat. When Qiyun saw the wine jug on the case, he suddenly had the urge to get drunk, so he poured a full wine glass and drank it all with his hand. The wine in the north is stronger than that in the south, and when Qiyun goes down a glass, there seems to be fire in his belly, and his cheeks are hot.

When Tuoba Tao saw that her glass was empty, he poured her full. Qiyun wanted to drink, but was stopped by Tuoba Tao, "Drink slowly." ”

Tuoba Tao raised his wine glass and saluted: "Young Master Yun, you make plans and set up a battle to retreat from the enemy, and this king wants to thank you." This glass of wine is a little grateful, and this king will toast you first. With that, he tilted his head and dried his glass.

Seeing this, Qiyun did not shirk, raised his head and dried the wine in his cup, and asked in a muffled voice: "Have you found out who these thieves are today?" What is the way to go? ”

"No," Tuoba Tao shook his head, "I don't know how they learned that our reinforcements were coming, but after they sent the signal before Lord He Zhuang and his people arrived, they retreated cleanly, leaving no traces." So, we don't know who they are. After that, he picked up another glass of wine and said to Qiyun: "This glass of wine, I respect you for knowing everything about this king, and you have no end to it." You are full of strategy, and this king has benefited a lot. ”

Qiyun was shocked in his heart, remembering the purpose of his trip to Pingcheng, which seemed to have been achieved. At the beginning, she assumed the pseudonym Yunqing and entered the Taiping Mansion in Pingcheng Taiping, just to assist the young emperor's eldest son, strengthen the Wei State, and deal with the Xia State. Now it seems that his character and resourcefulness will be enough to make Great Wei strong in the future. One day, he managed the Great Wei Dynasty and led the army, and it was a matter of time before he defeated the Xia State. What's more, most of what he has learned in his life has been given to teach him to know the Tao. It seems that it is superfluous to stay in Pingcheng by himself.

Qiyun thought about this, and there was no joy in his heart that he had achieved a great success and a victory, but instead felt a great coolness, and he felt an indescribable emptiness and loss in his heart. So, silently, with his eyebrows lowered, he just drank glass after glass.

The two were silent for a while, and Qiyun suddenly heard a sentence in his ear, "Yunqing, do you have someone you like?" It turned out to be Tuoba Tao who asked her softly.

Qiyun was stunned for a moment, smiled miserably, and said with a cold face in an instant: "No." After thinking about it, he turned his head to look at him, slightly unwilling and stubborn, and asked him: "So, His Royal Highness King Taiping, do you have anyone you like?" ”

Tuoba Tao looked at her for a moment, and a vague smile appeared on his lips: "There is one." As he spoke, he looked up at the moon, as if he had infinite feelings, and was waiting to be told to others.

Qiyun bit her lip and squinted slightly, as if curious, "Then where is she?" ”

Tuoba Tao said slowly: "In the past few years, she has always been in front of my eyes and here with me. "Point your finger to your heart.

Qiyun was so excited by his words that his heart was unspeakably sour, and after the sourness, he only felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and his heart sank to the bottom little by little, and he smiled coldly for a long time, "Congratulations to Your Highness, Yunqing wishes Your Highness and your sweetheart to know each other and tie the knot as soon as possible." Yunqing did it first as a respect. With that, he raised his glass and toasted Tuoba Tao, and without waiting for him to answer, he raised his head and drank. The fingers loosened weakly, and the glass fell to pieces on the bluestone slab.

Qiyun said apologetically: "Yunqing is not strong enough to drink, so let's be here tonight." If you drink it any more, I'm afraid it will be out of order. Your Highness, Qing is lost. After that, he ignored Tuoba Tao, stood up and left, feeling lightheaded for a while, and his body was like being in the floating clouds, but he barely held on and staggered away all the way.
