Chapter 80: Lovesickness is incomprehensible
In the past six months, Nancheng has sent troops to besiege Beishao, trap Xiyi, regain Dongfu, cut off the back road of the Shao army, besiege the Shao army in Xiyi, and give the brothers in the cottage the opportunity.
That is to say, I draw a circle with the Nancheng troops, garrison the defense, put a breakthrough for the cottage brothers to come in, outflank the siege, and change the place immediately after the battle, and the Nancheng troops converge inward, clean up the battlefield, capture the forces of the Beishao garrison, redivide the area, and then attack forward.
Jin Ge war horse, and now I finally use an iron armor to wave my troops north.
"Report, the front line will spread the news of the war again, and take Licheng."
The eldest brother raised his hand, laughed and shouted, "Good! The people who were sent back came to greet him again, "Lao Jiu, seeing that we are going to go back to the east, why do you still have this expression." โ
I shook my head, I couldn't tell the faint worry in my heart, these days, the Beishao soldiers have been retreating, defending, retreating, and defending to defend, which can't help but make people feel whether there is fraud in it.
"You," the eldest brother sighed, and ordered left and right, "you guys should retreat first." โ
After the left and right lieutenants retreated, he came back again. "We are faster than expected, although the Shao army is resisting, but it doesn't seem to be resisting, people can't guess what they think, this seeing that we captured most of Xiyi in one fell swoop, and then took the east and ambush, we still haven't forced out a movement in Beishao, do you have any plans?"
"Further north, we will be forced to the border of Beishao. But now Beishao still hasn't taken any precautions, it seems that he wants to sing an empty city plan. I turned back to the sand table, pointed to one of the lines of defense, and said, "Our army, camp here tonight, leave 200 people, and the rest of the troops will quietly retreat, let the sixth brother and the seventh brother cooperate with the left and right exploration, and our front-line troops will be temporarily dispersed to prevent fraud." โ
"Lao Jiu, what are you worried about?" The eldest brother sensed that something was not quite right, and tilted his head and asked.
I stared at the sand table and asked, "If you are Yuan Ying, the Beishao army retreats here, how are you going to fight this battle next?" โ
The eldest brother thought for a while, but did not answer, just stretched out his hand, and pointed to our camp from the position of the garrison of the Beishao Army.
"If it is Yuan Qi, he must be the main force of my battalion. But if this battle is the head coach of Yuan Ying, I'm afraid it will ......"
"Lao Jiu, if you are worried about Nancheng Palace, you might as well take some people for a trip." Before I finished speaking, my eldest brother interrupted me, and he should have guessed the reason for the uneasiness in my heart, but when he said this, it became a consolation, "Since the army set out, you haven't been back for half a year, and if there is anything in the palace, you don't know." โ
"What could happen?" I casually responded, turned and sat aside.
The eldest brother came over, "Don't blame the eldest brother for being troublesome, after all, you are the queen of Nancheng and the wife of others." With Nancheng Guojun in the palace, there are beautiful women and beauties thinking about it, so you are not afraid that you will not be in the palace, and what kind of accident will there be? โ
"I wish he had that accident." I have to admit that I was hiding from the emperor, and after that day, we never spent time alone in private, only feeling awkward and not as comfortable as before.
The eldest brother patted me on the shoulder, "Old Jiu, if Yuan Ying can't come back, you should also plan for yourself as soon as possible." โ
Planning for myself, I was a little flustered, my heartbeat was a little short, my mouth was dry, and I became more and more restless, "I am planning for myself, my heart is given to Yuan Ying, and people are also given to Yuan Ying, the son born in nine deaths was snatched away, I am the queen of Nancheng, but my son has become the little emperor of Beishao." Huangfu Xuan lives for a day, Nancheng has a day for me to stand, if the world can't tolerate me, I will give myself a world. โ
But it was his turn to be silent.
I said, "Of course, there are times when I am weak, even if it is a moment, I have longed to be loved, but I know very well that I love Yuan Ying, not because I can't obey others. I just think that if I insist, I may hope to return to the way I used to be with him. โ
"You girl, I'm afraid you won't enjoy a happy life by birth." The eldest brother just sighed, got up and walked out, but was hit head-on by a reckless soldier, and suddenly roared angrily, "Don't die!" There's nothing you can't do safely! โ
He was fine, but the soldier who hit him escaped alive. After his scolding, the whole person was so frightened that he lay on the ground and didn't dare to move.
The eldest brother dusted off the armor that had been knocked off his body, calmed down his anger, and then said again. "What's the matter, say!"
"Beishao sent an envoy to beg for ...... Ask to see ......" The soldier lowered his head and replied in a trembling voice, but he couldn't say anything for a long time, so he quietly raised his head, looked at me, and hurriedly lowered his head, "Ask to see...... Host...... Handsome...... Ask to see the manager. โ
I was stunned, and my eldest brother was also stunned.
Or did he react first and asked, "Let's be clear, what the envoy of Beishao wants to see is me or Niangniang?!" โ
"Yes...... Be...... Empress. "The little soldier is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was already frightened by the big brother in front of him, and he lowered his head and looked at the two of us secretly, presumably thinking about something.
Although the army is under my full command, but the nominal name of the commander is the eldest brother Ao Zhan, except for a few lieutenants close to him, he doesn't even know the army under the battalion, only when I am the accompanying supervisor, this is all to avoid the trouble that the queen may cause when she takes command of the expedition, but now someone from Beishao said that he wanted to see the commander, but he said that it was me, what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd. I immediately went through all the possibilities in my heart, pushed away the eldest brother who was about to ask again, and asked calmly, "Don't panic, talk slowly, what's going on." โ
The little soldier took out a letter from his bosom and held it with both hands above his head. "The envoy of Beishao said that he wanted to sit in the commander of the army, Zhaohua County...... See for yourself, he ...... He also said, "If you look at it, you will know who he is." โ
I couldn't help but look at my eldest brother, who also looked at me suspiciously, took the letter and handed it to me.
I took the letter and unfolded it, only to see a line of small print.
If you want to save Qiao Yi, ask the county lord to go to Dicheng in person tomorrow afternoon. Takasaki book.
I showed the letter to my eldest brother and asked the messenger, "Is the man who came a man with a leg?" But what else do you say? โ
The messenger shook his head violently, and couldn't come up with a reason for a long time, but the eldest brother stopped me, let him retreat first, and then asked me, "Are you going?" โ
I looked at him, "I was still suspicious just now, but now that I hear you ask, I feel that the second brother's capture is true." "I'm still suspicious here, it's been more than four months since the second brother returned to Beishao, but the news was suddenly cut off two months ago." Go, I'm definitely going to go, I haven't seen you for five years, I'm going to meet old friends. โ
"I'll go with you."
"Don't, you are stationed in the army, I am worried about Gao Qi's deception, I will go to the appointment alone at noon tomorrow, after I leave, you lead the troops to retreat south to the Nancheng border, if there is anything, you have full authority to deal with it." Don't worry, if I go alone, Takasaki can't help me. "It's just that this game is becoming more and more incomprehensible now, if it's just Yuan Qi, he is the one who can play this trick, I'm afraid that Yuan Qi and the Empress Dowager of Beishao will join forces.
Stepping into the realm of Beishao again after five years makes people feel unexpectedly nostalgic.
I led my horse into the city, and indeed not far from the city gate I saw Takasaki, who had not seen me for many years, and a man with one leg and a little wolf bรจi was standing there, and when he saw me approaching step by step, he just leaned down slightly, still with that stiff expression.
"County Lord."
I ignored him and asked, "You didn't bring me here to catch up with you at the gate?" โ
Takasaki turned sideways, "Please." โ
"Who wants to see me?" I asked again.
"You'll know when you go." He replied, seeing that I had no intention of moving, and added, "It will be someone you are interested in." โ
I threw the horse's reins at him, "Lead the way." โ
Beishao, which has been war-torn for a long time, does not seem to be as prosperous as when Yuan Ying was in the past, it is obviously noon, but it is sparsely populated, and the street vendors are scattered, and only one or two people occasionally walk by.
Takasaki led me to stop outside a restaurant, and he stopped walking, but just stretched out his hand and motioned for me to enter.
I looked around quietly and stepped in.
The huge restaurant was lifeless, and several tables next to it were covered with a layer of dust, obviously no one had been here for a long time. I stepped in with my front foot, and the door was closed with my back foot, and I saw a man sitting with his back to me at a table in the restaurant.
That figure is very much like Yuan Qi.
"I have heard that the lord of Zhaohua County is both civil and military, and she is a rare strange woman in the world, and I am fortunate to see it today, and I have also learned a matter of my king's heart." He turned his back to me and spoke slowly, a voice that was so familiar that it echoed silently in the empty restaurant, giving people a strange illusion.
I calmed my mind and walked over and sat down beside him. "Between you and me, when have you been so polite?"
He chuckled softly, but said nothing.
I looked sideways and froze in place.
It's not Yuanqi.
He is...... Yuan Ying!
"The county commander Nancheng's army attacked the garrison of our Shao army and seized many defensive cities in our northern Shao, and our army retreated repeatedly. Why does the county lord force each other again and again......" he said, turning slightly sideways, afraid that he would see my panicked appearance, and then asked out loud, "County lord?" โ
I lowered my head, then grabbed him by the hem and grabbed him hard.
But he didn't retreat, and said, "This king treats each other with courtesy......"
"Where the hell have you been in the past five years!" I asked sharply, my eyes warm, and I lost my temper unconsciously.
He froze.
After a long time, tears slid down, and I stood in front of him and grabbed him by the collar, tears falling down my cheeks and dripping on his placket.
Xu is the guards waiting outside were shocked and broke in to protect him. He looked around and slowly stood up, and my gaze changed from looking down to looking up as he got up, obviously at a close distance, but I couldn't see the slightest sense of familiarity in his eyes.
He only raised his hand and told the people around him to retreat until the door of the restaurant closed, and once again let Yiqiฤ reach an impasse.
"Do we know each other?"
I waited five years, only for him to ask me, do we know each other?
But the man in front of him is Yuan Ying, yes! I just feel that even the strength of my fingers to grasp the placket of his clothes is losing from my body little by little, just like the persistence that I have been working hard for the past five years, only at the moment of this sentence, it is slowly dissipating.
"Who are you?" I asked him weakly.
He looked at me suddenly, his eyes unblinking, his brow furrowed slightly, as if he had fallen into a confused memory.
"Who the hell are you?" That's when I asked again.
Why is he so, strange.
The person in front of me is still the person in my memory, but I can't overlap him with the person I remember for five years, as if these five years have made something different.
I slowly let go of my hand.
He suddenly grabbed me and narrowed his eyes slightly, "This king should know you." โ
This king?! I couldn't help but want to laugh at my hindsight, "You are the regent of Beishao?" โ
"Yes." He answered, but it seemed that he had more questions to ask me, and he looked at me with the same amount of doubt as he had at that time, and he had too many doubts to find a flaw in me.
"Your surname is Yuwen?" I'll ask again.
He didn't answer me yes or no, but stared at me for a moment of silence.
I let go and wanted to retreat to a safe distance.
"Yu Wence." He said suddenly, in this silent atmosphere, this voice broke through his thoughts without warning. "Who the hell are you?"
He doesn't remember.
In the past five years, I have imagined countless possibilities, the worst of which is that he died.
But I didn't expect that I would meet something worse today, he was alive and forgot about me.
It's retribution.
Like, I once forgot about him.
It turns out that being forgotten is what it feels like.
I suddenly I may be wrong, the loneliness that I have endured for the past five years, but just this one glance, almost collapsed. I just miss Huangfu Xuan all of a sudden, and I just wish I had someone by my side now who knows everything I've been doing over the years.
All possibilities, but only ignore this one, from Yuan Ying to Yuwen Ce, from Prince Yuwen to the regent.
Maybe I should sue him, I'm Fuyin.
Maybe I should sue him, I waited for him for five years.
It's just that I can't say anything at this moment, because in these five years of my loneliest years, he has erased the memories of me. "This palace is the queen of Nancheng."
I felt that he was grasping my hand, and with a little force, there was an unexpectedly suppressed emotion in his eyes, as if he was angry, but there was also a sense of powerlessness that could not be expressed.
I'm afraid that he himself has noticed it, but he doesn't understand where this kind of affection comes from, which makes him uneasy.
"Bengong," I shook off his hand, "it's no longer the Lord of Zhaohua, but the Queen of Nancheng." Whether you have real amnesia or fake amnesia, I don't bother to care, forget what you don't remember. โ
I saw that he stopped talking, so I sat down, just tilted my head slightly, sorted out the gaffe just now, and looked at him, "Since you don't remember the past, let's talk about the present, I don't know what kind of conditions the regent of Beishao wants to exchange General Qiao Yi for this palace." โ
He stood there, but he just looked at me, his eyes full of doubt, "Why ......?"
"Didn't you plan to ask Takasaki to invite me over?" I know that he won't ask me, it's just that the inexplicable love makes him confused, "I'm going to take Qiao Yi away." โ
"Do you think you can take him away if you say take him away? Is it the world that overestimates the county lord of Zhaohua, or the county lord of Zhaohua overestimates himself. He said a wordless and silently, as confident and indifferent as when they first met, and smiled at the situation with a look of staying out of the matter, and his eyes exuded a tempting and dangerous taste.
"Because, you're going to let me take him away. The real you, how can you be willing to put me in a desperate situation, could it be that you killed me once, and you want to kill me a second time? I looked at him with a light smile, I knew how to awaken his forgotten memory, just because I knew him too well, I really missed him, I missed this familiar person, and I couldn't help but reach out and touch the side of his face.
He didn't hide from me, but just stood still and looked at me.
Five years, these five years, I have worked too hard and been lonely.
The people I love have not returned, and I have locked myself in a purgatory from which I will never recover.
I wanted to stand on tiptoe to kiss him, five years late for the ambiguity.
But it only stopped the moment it approached him.
No, not yet.
I carefully put away the mood and slowly retreated.
I said, "Even if you have amnesia, you are Yuan Ying, even if you forget all the qiฤ, you will remember me." Qiao Yi, I'll take it first. If you can't remember, ask the person who sent me the message for you, and he will surely tell you something. I got up and left, trying to hide myself again, but I had lost the courage to look at him again, but I remembered something again, "However, how can they tell you the truth about what happened, and probably only say that I am a woman who abandoned you and became the queen of Nancheng when your whereabouts are unknown." โ
I reached out and pushed the door, and his guard stepped back, but still meant to stop.
I tilted my head slightly, waiting for him.
"Takasaki, send the county lord and General Qiao away."
He is behind him, but his voice is so cold that it makes people chill, there is no emotion, it is his greatest affection, I have been with him for many years, naturally I know how to provoke his mind.
I know more than I know myself.
I stepped out in one step, and the door closed behind me, trapping us in two different worlds again.
Gao Qi led the horse, and it was not surprising that such a change would occur between me and Yuan Ying, "It seems that you are very proud. โ
"Perhaps." I didn't even blink my eyes, "Your master ordered you to send me and General Qiao away, I believe you won't go against his will." โ
"Of course." Takasaki led the horse, took a few more steps, and stopped in front of me. "The county lord gets on his horse, General Qiao has been waiting outside the city for a long time."
