Chapter 243: Xuan Heng's farewell
The Chief Soldier is back? Isn't he on the frontier?
Yes, this period of time has been full of good news, and when he comes back, he should have won the battle and returned triumphantly.
This is really gratifying, everyone was happy, and their eyes were very eager to look at the dock, and even Tian Mi couldn't help but take a step, but unexpectedly was grabbed by Xuan Heng's hand.
Tian Mi subconsciously raised her head, but saw that Xuan Heng's face was very heavy at this time.
Xuan Heng's pale red lips were pursed, his dark eyes were sharp, and there was hope and worry on his face, but they were all suppressed by him.
The people who were already in turmoil were called to their senses by a calm and steady voice, but they heard Qin Shi say: "The auspicious time has come." ”
The auspicious time has come -- yes, now that the business school is open, they are not in a hurry to do so, and this is also a great joy.
Accompanied by Xuan Heng's words, Tian Mi and the four of them subconsciously cut the red silk, and the red silk fell to the ground, and suddenly, the sound of firecrackers was deafening, and a congratulatory sound sounded.
At this time, Xuan Hengfang said to Tian Mi in a deep voice: "The opening is a good thing, don't rush, you take you to visit the college, I will come." ”
With that, he raised his feet and walked down the steps, but before he could take a few steps, he saw a fast horse galloping on the long street, and the man on the horse was dressed in dust and dust, but his eyes were particularly fierce and hideous.
This face is recognized by everyone, but this look, everyone is too unfamiliar, this is not the generous and generous general soldier, this is simply an avenger with hellfire.
With a rough "whew," the horse let out a terrible neigh, but the man ignored the horse that wet the corners of his eyes, and he quickly turned over and dismounted, and strode towards this side.
Cheng Wei walked quickly. With the momentum of wind and thunder, his face was resolute, and his eyes were bloodshot, he gritted his teeth, suppressed the emotions that were about to surge, and looked intently at the extraordinary person in the crowd.
Walking all the way to him, Cheng Weifang bent down his unyielding backbone. He said depressedly: "Can you please take a step to speak?" ”
Cheng Wei's momentum is very terrifying. His expression, anyone who looks at it can see that it is not good, let alone the ingenious Xuan Heng?
The usual shallow smile on Xuan Heng's lips sank. He didn't change color on the spot, but just turned his head sideways as usual, and said to Tian Mi beside him: "You go and invite the distinguished guest to enter." ”
After that, he didn't say anything. Step outward, the pace is sharp and strong.
Cheng Wei looked at Tian Mi deeply. Quickly followed.
This posture made everyone suspicious, everyone knew that the chief soldier was full of joy and anger, and if he could change his face, it must be a matter of importance. And it's not a good thing.
Therefore, when they were respectfully invited into the academy, no one snooped on them. The obedient followed the large army.
The more sensitive you are, the more important it is to keep to yourself.
Tian Mi finally couldn't rest assured. She once again entrusted the matter to Xu Shi and chased after the two of them.
Tian Mi's legs are not as long as theirs, and her steps are not so fast, she stares at the direction of the two of them leaving through the busy streets, she doesn't dare to relax a bit, and she doesn't care about much, so she picks up her skirt and runs.
The two of them are very familiar with Dezhuang, and they turned to a no-man's land, and when Tian Mi caught up with him, he saw the iron-clad man Cheng Wei, his legs bent, and he knelt down to Xuanheng fiercely.
Tian Mi was startled, Xuan Heng's face tightened, but he did not retreat, stood stiffly, and listened to the middle-aged elder say in a deep voice: "Shizi, the last general can't stand you and Mrs." ”
Cheng Wei's face will not see any more majesty, only grief and vicissitudes.
When Xuan Heng heard this, he couldn't help but take a step back, someone behind him helped him lightly, but he didn't seem to feel it, his dark eyes shot out like a sharp sword, his breathing was tight, and his body was straightened into a line.
Cheng Wei closed his eyes tightly, a line of tears slid down, his throat moved a few times, and Fang said in a dumb voice: "The frontier was originally in a state of stalemate, and after the saint came, our army suddenly received successes one after another, and drove all the way straight into the enemy's border. ”
Xuan Heng stiffened, without a trace of expression on his face, only a pair of eyes as sharp as a sword.
He had heard this good news countless times, he was numb, he knew that this was just the beginning, he just wanted to know, what happened next?
Cheng Wei's face was full of pain, and the tears oozing out of his bloodshot eyes were like blood-red, which was terrifying.
His face was full of hatred, his voice was full of unwillingness, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's too smooth, but it's suspicious." ”
"When he was about to pass by the famous first-line heaven in Dongchu, the prince finally showed the doubts in his heart to the saint, but as the prince was worried about, the saint had already been carried away by the victory, not only did not listen to the prince's advice, but also when the prince questioned his martial ability, he had a gap with him, and did not let him interfere in the march again, and personally commanded the soldiers to capture the dangerous place."
"The prince couldn't stop the saint, so he had to go with him, and sure enough......" He took a deep breath and closed his eyes tightly before he could continue, "The Eastern Chu army has already set a trap and firmly trapped us, the prince keenly found that something was wrong, and urged the saint, but the saint said that he was the son of heaven with heaven's help, and resolutely did not retreat, but ......"
The iron-beaten man agitated his throat, his blood-red eyes revealed the light of cannibalism, he bit his lip and said in a trembling voice: "The enemy is prepared, and the disparity in strength between the two sides, coupled with the convenience of the time and place, even if the prince is here, he can't get the command, and that battle is also ......."
"The saint is in prison, the prince is desperate to fight a bloody way for him, the saint is rescued, but the prince is ......" hot tears slid down his cheeks, Cheng Wei pressed his grief back into his chest, and said in a stalk: "Ah Liang's kid, he remembered the promise of the day until he died, he failed to rescue the prince, so he ...... with the prince"
His vision was blurred, and he closed his eyes and said, "Die together." ”
God knows, he would rather die than himself, the moment he escaped, listening to the sound of fighting behind him, listening to the sound of the sword dulling in*, and watching his companions fall one by one, he wished that he was already dead, with them.
He would rather die there and die in battle than protect the dog emperor and be a deserter.
But the prince forced him to escort the emperor away. This is a military order, and orders can be disobeyed, but only military orders cannot be violated.
"The prince is as kind to me as a mountain, but I can't tie the grass ring. I am ashamed of the prince, the prince and the princess, and even more ashamed of the people of the world. Cheng Wei lowered his head, burst into tears, gritted his teeth and said: "The last general has escorted the saint back to the pass, and there is no more entanglement, so I have come to ask the prince for sin." ”
Cheng Wei couldn't afford it for a long time. Xuan Heng was silent for a long time. Tian Mi, who was holding him, only felt that she was holding a stone, stiff and heavy, and she couldn't see his expression. He could only touch his cold body, and the blood that was frantically agitating under his pulse.
Xuan Heng ...... Tian Mi's eyes were wet, tears were surging down, and her eyes were blurry. She didn't reach out to wipe it, her hands holding on to the petrified body.
The fists in Xuan Heng's wide sleeves burst out. He could feel the blood rushing up all over his body, he could feel a stream of heat rushing into his head, he could feel the burning in his eyes, he could feel something eating away at his reason.
But Dad said it. The more you feel out of control, the more you have to control yourself, and you have to control yourself.
Autumn has passed. It was early winter, and he changed into a light fur. Now, his underwear was soaked, and suddenly a cold wind came, and he shivered.
There was no rage, no madness, not even anything unusual, only a calm voice asking: "Can the bones of the prince and Ah Liang be recovered?" ”
Cheng Wei only felt that the head on this neck was too heavy, so heavy that he couldn't lift it, so he only said astringently: "No, the enemy army is menacing, we fled with our lives, and the land behind us has fallen, until we return to the country, the war has not stopped, and when I place the emperor properly, the Hangu Pass has been breached, and the Eastern Chu army is advancing all the way, and it is still unstoppable." ”
Hanguguan is the first pass of Changguo and the gateway of Changguo.
"What did you say?" lifted the man on the ground with one hand, his eyes were sharp, poked into his eyes, and said coldly: "Dad is not here, how can there be a general who can defend the border pass?" As the number one general under the command of the Xuan family, you actually left the people of the city at this time, do you know what crime you should be guilty of?! ”
Cheng Wei closed his eyes deeply, and then opened them, but he was resolute and resolute.
He stood firm, took out a real holy decree issued by the emperor from his arms, knelt on one knee, presented it with both hands, and said solemnly: "The last general is a soldier of the Xuan family, and he is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
Seeing Xuanheng's straight gaze falling on the bright yellow scroll, Cheng Wei felt bitter in his heart, but he still persuaded him: "The prince is the pillar of the Changguo Pillar, and the Xuanjia Army is the division of the humerus, in addition, inside and outside the government and the opposition, there is no division that can be evenly matched with Eastern Chu, and I invite the prince to ......."
He really wanted to say that he would let go of his grief and let go of his guilt for the king, but when he thought of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, he always felt angry in his heart.
Therefore, he proclaimed the decree, but in a kneeling position.
He held his head high, but his head was lowered, and his whole body trembled.
One bony hand grasped the bright yellow scroll and held it tightly, while the other hand grabbed his wrist and lifted him up, and the calm voice said, "You are not a sinner, you have completed your task, so you don't have to blame yourself." ”
Cheng Wei just smiled bitterly, he shook his head, put aside the distractions, and said: "Shizi, it is false for the Eastern Chu Shuanglong to win the pearl, and it is true to lure the enemy in." ”
Double Dragons is fake, and luring the enemy deep is real.
So it is, so it is, the secret that Ruan Tiande and Zi Sangyun did not say was really a big secret, and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and people on the border became victims of their revenge.
Xuan Heng only felt that countless things were rolling in his chest, but the more he rolled, the more depressed he became, he held the holy decree, straightened his body, and said calmly to Cheng Wei: "Since you are back, go to the house to have a look, say goodbye to your family, prepare your bags, and see you on the dock in half an hour." ”
Cheng Wei responded without hesitation: "Yes." ”
Xuan Heng didn't say more, took Tian Mi's hand, and whispered to her, "Let's go home too." ”
Tian Mi nodded obediently, followed him step by step, took a few steps, she turned around, and saw that under the blue sky, the blood-red tears in Cheng Wei's eyes did not disappear for a long time.
When she returned home, Tian Mi didn't say anything, only told Tan that he was going to leave in half an hour, Tan felt different, but she also saw Xuan Heng's abnormality, so she didn't ask much, just carefully packed up his things for him, and said to Tian Mi: "You go and accompany him." ”
Xuan Heng was sitting under the old kui tree, his body was sitting straight, like a gun, and his eyes were extremely sharp, like a sharp sword.
He was in a trance, that is, Tian Mi stood behind him, holding his body with one hand and putting the other hand on his head, he didn't move, until a long time, he called softly: "Mi'er." ”
Tian Mi responded: "I'm here." ”
He took her hand and hugged her in his arms as softly as possible, although there was no expression on his face, his chin was against her shoulder, and he said peacefully: "I'm leaving, not to Kyoto, but to the border." ”
Tian Mi bit her lip, held back the tears in her eyes, nodded, held his wide palm, and said, "You have to take care." ”
Tian Mi felt his jaw move, as if he wanted to say something, but he finally closed it.
He hugged her like this, greedy for the warmth on her body, until his heart gradually warmed up and he could face a qiē.
The two of them didn't speak until Tan packed up a qiē, until he was sent out of the house, and he was sent to Qingyang Wharf, standing in front of the huge warship.
Cheng Wei was already waiting there, Xuan Heng took the burden handed over by the Tan family, and his eyes fell on Tian Mi.
He leaned over and embraced her in his arms, and in silence, whispered softly in her ear, "Don't wait for me. ”
With that, he let go of her, turned around, and strode onto the warship, without looking back.
Tian Mi held back the tears that wanted to burst out of her eyes, smiled hard, smiled hard, and finally couldn't help it, and shouted loudly when the tall figure was submerged in the cabin: "Your life is mine!" ”
The body shook and disappeared completely.
The horn sounded on the ship, and the behemoth pulled away from the dock and headed for the vast river.
Tian Mi blinked at the sky, blinked for a long time, Fang refused the comfort around her, and turned away.
As she said, his life is hers, he has to work hard, and she has to make sure of it.
The situation at the border suddenly changed, Changguo was involved in the war, and the border states and counties were panicked, and the whole country was shocked.
King Xuan died on the battlefield, and the enemy army marched all the way, and the people were panicked for a while.
The seemingly unstoppable trend of Eastern Chu finally stopped when King Xuan entered the Chinese army's big tent.
The border war has been in full swing, although other state capitals are also concerned about the war, but after all, there is no sense of immersion, Qingzhou and other places where the emperor is far away, and they only chat after tea and dinner.
As a result, when other state capitals in Changguo were affected by the war and the economy was in a state of regression, Qingzhou grew up like a big tree with its own source of life.
The people of Qingzhou have fertile fields and rich products, and are known as the granary of the world, and nearly half of the grain and grass in the army are provided by Qingzhou.
With the establishment of Qingzhou Business School, various colleges have emerged, and the academic development has been unprecedented, which has sent a large number of talents for business development. As a result, Qingzhou's business is in a state of burning oil, and it has become a well-deserved economic heart of Changguo.
With the development of Qingzhou's commerce, with Qingzhou businessmen all over the world, the word "Baixin" has also settled in various states and counties, and its offices and banks have sprung up, and there are countless projects invested by Baixin, and for a time, the whole country has this logo.
And I heard that the person in charge of the commercial lifeline of the empire is actually a woman in her twenties.
Time flies, and it has been two years in the blink of an eye. (To be continued) I640
