The poor are not depraved, the rich are not extravagant, and they can treat her well consistently.

She doesn't want the luxurious robes from her husband, nor the precious jewelry from her husband, all she wants is to give her a warm embrace when it's cold; When you are hungry, there is a filling meal.

When King Wu woke up, Su Yan was already hundreds of miles away.

He was so tired that when he woke up, it was already early hour, and the spring sun shone on the inn, falling to the ground through the window lattice, printing golden flowers.

Yi Cheng had already prepared porridge early, and Yi Cheng ran to King Wu's guest room several times, and did not dare to disturb him when he saw him asleep. Several guards got up at dawn, practicing and feeding the horses, and they were busy.

King Wu walked out of the guest room and walked to the hall of the post house, where breakfast had already been arranged. Although it is not extremely exquisite, there are three small weaknesses, steamed buns, steamed buns and other things are readily available.

He asked lightly, "Hasn't the county lord of Anxi gotten up yet?" ”

Yi Cheng hunched his waist, "Back to His Highness, the lower official got up at the fifth watch, and specially ordered the kitchen to prepare these foods." At that time, when I went to the stable, I didn't see the horse of the county lord of Anxi, and there was no one in the house, so I guess I left early in the night. Last night, the county lord of Anxi gave the refugees a steamed bun in the city, and he almost bought all the steamed buns and buns in the city......"

No wonder she didn't come back until he went to bed.

Yi Cheng said again: "The county lord only came back at the third watch, and as soon as he came back, he shouted that he was hungry, and Miss Liu specially went out to buy food for the county lord, and bought several restaurants to buy twenty steamed buns. ”

Only then did King Wu come back to his senses, "She didn't use food before?" ”

Yi Cheng said: "The county lord arrived at the post house at the time of Youshi, drank a few cups of tea first, gave the villain fifty taels of silver, and told him to buy two good wine and food on the table, and then went back to the room to rest." ”

Saving Su Yan from asking him to buy pig's trotters and duck necks, the two tables of wine and food would not cost fifty taels of silver. The food I chose was common, and it wasn't particularly expensive.

"When I woke up, I went to the stable to look at the horses, and then I went out. Before leaving, we didn't say hello to the postman, so we didn't know where she went. ”

King Wu hurriedly asked, "Is there a letter left for the main hall?" ”

The official maid who cleaned up the guest room had delicate eyebrows and good manners, and replied: "When the slave maid cleaned up the guest room, she only found a letter left for His Royal Highness King Wu. ”

The paper is very flat, and it is written neatly and beautifully in small letters, "His Royal Highness King Wu: Say goodbye here, and may you cherish each other." "One. did not leave her name, but "Anxi County Lord left words" and other words, which is clearly a business-like attitude.

Her letter was short and only one sentence. "His Royal Highness King Wu" made his heart move slightly, after all, he didn't want to call him famous, and maintained an insurmountable gap with him.

If you had left last night and ridden a bloody BMW, you might have been hundreds of miles away by now.

She rejected him thousands of miles away. Without half a point of warmth, such calmness, and such indifference, King Wu felt for the first time that he didn't understand her in the end.

What the hell did she think, he came enthusiastically. just wanted to bow her head and admit her wrong, it turned out that in her heart, she didn't move for him after all. There is no other half-point.

The leader of the guards approached King Wu, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, your subordinates have left four people to protect you, and the other two have to rush to the northwest border city." We were ordered by the emperor to escort the county lord of Anxi. I also have to go to the border city to see the war situation over there, and then I will return to the emperor. ”

King Wu's heart fell into tangled and turbid. No one can tell him what to do. Trying to find a comfort and warmth in the letters she left, it was not that she didn't want to say goodbye to him, but that she was in a hurry, so she didn't say it, hoping that he would understand her difficulties?

The leader of the guards said to the people who were going to the border city: "Hurry up and eat some, prepare dry food, and we will go after the county lord." ”

King Wu sat in front of the case, admitting his mistakes and admitting defeat in this way was an impulse and a fanatical passion for him. When he stepped out of the imperial city, he pursued a real emotion, hoping that the woman he loved could also love without hesitation and vigorously like him.

On the tenth day of the first month of March, at the second and fourth quarters of the night, Su Yan and Liu Feifei entered another city, where there were more refugees than before, and some people were overcrowded.

Outside the city, there were countless tents, or rags sewn, or excellent sheepskins, or beautiful big tents of the steppe people, all kinds of flowers, scattered near the city gates.

In the tents, faint lights can occasionally be seen, the helpless cries of children, and the low voice of women's comfort, and a sense of sadness wells up in the quiet of the night.

So-yeon stopped, like a passerby, quietly admiring the different scenery.

Liu Feifei called in a low voice: "Senior sister, the city gate has been closed, we ......"

She exhaled, only to feel that her blood was raging, she was angry, the world was originally peaceful, all because the ambitious second prince of Xiqi Tuoba Zhao ignited the flames of war, innocent people were displaced, men and husbands died seven or eight times out of ten, and young and beautiful women were cruelly used as camp prostitutes.

The war left them with no way to live, and they were left to flee their homeland.

"Don't enter the city, continue to hurry, and strive to get to the border city early!"

Raising the wicker and patting it lightly, the horse galloped away into the depths of the night.

"Chasing the moon, you are a good horse, stay in the border city, I will let you prepare good food, you insist, insist!"

She had to get to the border city as soon as possible, as soon as possible.

When the day was getting brighter, the two sisters had already arrived at a city, and from a distance, it looked more like a dead city, lifeless, and on the barren slope outside the city, there were countless tombs scattered and chaotic, some of which were still hung with white flags, and in the depths of the tomb, an old woman was weeping in pain.

The morning breeze passed, and a ghost cried and whimpered like a wolf.

She has also seen the beautiful scenery on Zhongnan Mountain; She has also enjoyed the steepness and difficulty of climbing Taibai Mountain; She has also witnessed the difficulty of Shu Road and the danger of going to the blue sky......

However, the endless tomb in front of him, and the cry of the woman and the wind, gave people a peerless desolation.

"Senior sister, what kind of place is this?"

Su Yan couldn't say her name for a while, she only knew that she was getting closer and closer to the border city.

As he spoke, he saw a lame man, swaying against a hoe, not very old, about thirty years old. But he was already pale, with several wrinkles on his forehead and a terrible scar on his cheek. He looked strangely at the two young girls wearing veils, walking all the way, looking back all the way.

Su Yan hugged her fists and said, "May I ask my brother, what kind of place is this?" ”

The man said coldly, "This is called Fierce Ghost City, and five miles to the north is the Demon Pass!" ”

Liu Feifei said curiously: "Senior sister, it seems that there is no such place as a fierce ghost city,"

Could it be that they were in a hurry at night. Going to the wrong place?

The man smiled bitterly, "It used to be called Hu Yangcheng, but it was fought a few months ago. The corpses are everywhere here, and hundreds of people died tragically under the knife of the Xiqi people, and from then on, it is no longer called Poplar City, but it is called Fierce Ghost City! ”

Su Yan said warmly: "May I ask the eldest brother." How far is it from Cold Moon City? ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and said very seriously: "You two girls, what are you going to do in Cold Moon City?" It has become a living hell. Beginning in February, 10,000 Xiqi died and Northern Qi lost 8,000.

The losses of the Northern Qi were far greater than those of the Xiqi, and they only reported the casualties of the soldiers in the barracks. but they forgot the deaths and wounds of the people. The people in this area are dead and fleeing, and those who remain are half-dead old and weak women and children. There is no escape. ”

The people in this area have suffered greatly from the war, and they hate the war and the Xiqi people.

The former city has been given a terrible name by him, as if it has really become a hell on earth.

Liu Feifei hugged his fists and said, "Big brother." My senior sister and I are going to the border city to help in the battle......"

"It's not good for a young girl to stay at home. What battles to fight? The man swayed and limped to the depths of the tomb, "Today is my eldest brother's Qiqi, and I don't have money to burn paper, so I'll talk to him." ”

Su Yan asked, "Big brother, why don't you leave?" ”

The man turned around: "My eldest brother and younger brother died on the battlefield, my sister-in-law was confined, my mother was blind, and my wife was newly married, where can the whole family escape?" I heard that most of the people who fled were starving to death on the road, so it was better to stay and still be in their hometown......"

Su Yan looked at the large nameless grave and whispered, "The war may be coming to an end. ”

"Who doesn't think so, who knows when the road will end. Our Zhuangzi used to be the largest Zhuangzi in this area, but now there are only three families left, and they are still dragged and small, and they can't escape......"

The man chattered, lamenting the cruelty of war and the ruthlessness of fate.

Su Yan and Liu Feifei exchanged glances, and the senior sisters headed in the direction of Huyang City.

The walls seemed to have been repaired after the Great War, and So-yeon could clearly see the traces of repairs on the walls, the new stones were different colors from the old ones, and there were several guards with guns and swords standing on the beacon tower.

The two of them led their horses and stood under the city, the city gate was closed, and Liu Feifei said loudly: "This is the new county lord of Anxi who is the emperor of my dynasty, and I want to go to the border city battlefield to see Marshal Yang and the king of the left shoulder, please open the city gate!" ”

Who is the county lord of Anzai?

They had never heard of it, and they stared at each other.

One of the guards asked aloud, "What proof do you have?" ”

Su Yan took out a customs clearance token from her arms, "This token is given by my emperor, but Brother Bing can see it clearly!" ”

Someone hurried to find the general who was guarding the city, and after a while, a young general came to the city wall, looked closely, and saw that there were two young girls wearing veils, both dressed as heroines. "Open the gates!" ”

The city gate was wide open, Su Yan and Liu Feifei walked into the city, and there were only a few shops on both sides of the street, and some shops had big doors and windows, and there was a mess inside, and three or two people walked sporadically on the street, mostly guarding soldiers.

The guard general asked respectfully: "The county lord of Anxi has come from thousands of miles away, so what's the matter?" ”

Su Yan sighed: "Dare to ask the general, how far is it from the Cold Moon Pass where the two armies clash?" ”

"The county is going to Lengyueguan?" The guard looked suspicious, "I don't know if the county lord is ......"

"The mighty general Jiang Shukun is my brother."

When the words fell, the guard exclaimed in surprise and knelt on the ground: "It turned out that Miss Jiang was here, and she was stupid, please forgive Miss for her sins!" ”

"The general is polite, it's important to hurry, if there is someone who is familiar with the road, send someone to lead the way with my sister and sister, and I won't bother the general here!"
