Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Qinhuai Chapter 109 The wine in the furnace is boiling

Returning to the east from afar, when the sun shines at night.

Loaded with a boat of afterglow, the light boat pushes the waves slowly, the river water of Qinglingling also seems to be affectionate, can not help but ripple in circles, the water is more and more rippling, like the agate sprinkled on the blue waves, shining brightly, fascinating.

At the beginning of the breeze, the mist dispersed, and the pavilion was revealed. The two people in the pavilion sat opposite each other to warm wine, and the fire was boiling.

"The wine in the furnace is boiling, but it's a pity that the snow has not arrived."

Looking at the rising white gas, Mo Cang Wuchen couldn't help but sigh lightly, and continued to add charcoal to the fire.

The clouds and mist rolled up, and the distant light boat appeared and disappeared from time to time, and in a snap of a finger, it seemed to sink to the bottom of the water, and there was no trace of it completely.

"It doesn't matter." Retracting his gaze that fell in the distance, he said lightly: "I have a hunch, this snow will definitely fall today, let's wait while drinking, we will definitely wait." However, I don't know if the second brother has enough wine. ”

Mo Cang looked at him without a trace, suddenly smiled, and after a long time, he found that he seemed to be a little distracted.

Mo Cang Wuchen suddenly raised his eyes and swore an oath: "Enough... Foot! Definitely enough. He faked a smile.

Noticing his absent-minded look, Mo Cang couldn't help but say with concern: "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Are you still worried about Ashin? Don't worry, I've sent someone to search the entire Qin Huai, and Ashin will have news soon. ”

Hearing Ashin, his face was as silent as water, but his heart was very worried, and the drums of war seemed to have beaten.

"In order to compete for the position of the crown prince, the eighth prince Xiao Wang united with his mother Rou Guifei and sent ten maidservants to my dormitory and poisoned my daily meals!"

Hearing this, his heartbeat skipped a beat, he suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at him, the corners of his clothes were grasped more tightly, looking at his blue eyes glowing with a little starlight, he subconsciously lowered his eyes, like sitting on pins and needles, listening to him point.

"For that kind of chronic poison, you can't find it by daily poison testing, and then ...... It was discovered in time, and all the maidservants were executed by their fathers. For this matter, the second brother also repeatedly asked his father to allow you to move to the East Palace to live with me, you said, with you always by my side to watch, protect, no one dares to do anything to me, but my father did not agree, you let Ashin enter the East Palace, take care of me instead of you, protect me. ”

It was not someone else who discovered the chronic poison back then, it was Concubine Huang, who had been imprisoned in the cold palace for three years. If it is said that whenever a crisis comes, the second brother is the one who stands up and fights the enemy, then that person is the one who always predicts various crises for him behind his back.

Seventy-seven concubines and thirty-three princes of the Mocang royal family took turns to fight, joined forces, thirty-six strategies, changing with each passing day, and there were endless tricks, however, he couldn't be knocked down or killed.

Others say that he is the son of the gods, born with the blessing of the gods, any power in the mortal world, in front of him is destined to be a grasshopper shaking the tree, and he is beyond his strength, but only he knows that it is she who guards behind him, and it is the second brother who rushes in front of him.

"You said, except for Yingying, Ashin is your most trusted servant, send him to serve by my side, you can rest assured, in this way, he entered the East Palace to serve me, in a blink of an eye, this service is eight years. Every time he travels, he also accompanies him, and now, he is not around, and he is indeed a little uncomfortable. ”

Listening to his tone become deeper and lower, sad like an endless wave, it swept in until it invaded the door of his sealed heart, gritted his teeth, and he raised his eyes and shouted: "Ah Zhen! ”

Taken aback by the second brother's abrupt expression, he looked at the second brother incomprehensibly, and what he wanted to say stagnated between his lips and teeth...

I saw him smile faintly and raise his finger to guide: "The wine is warm, let's drink it while it's hot!" The gentle tone was cautious.

He lowered his tight heart, and glanced out of the pavilion at random, the mountains were far away, the sun was shining at night, and all kinds of light and shadow were intertwined, and then he said: "This snow hasn't fallen yet, let's wait!" ”

"Ah Zhen doesn't believe that the second brother brought enough wine?" He asked, staring at him.

Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Drinking with the second brother, even if it is to take Qin Huai's water and mix it with wine, why not?" ”

He was a little stunned when he said it, and he didn't know how to speak for a while, he looked at the boiling wine, and his eyes were flickering by the light of the floating fire.

Mo Cang said without a trace: "How can I not believe in the second brother, I just don't believe in my own drinking power..."

Then, he picked up the charcoal clip on the table, and fiddled with the charcoal fire in the stove, the blazing light of the fire shone on his face, and he felt that it was extremely warm, and in his ears, the sound of the charcoal fire boiling.

"Second brother, do you remember the craziest time we drank alcohol?" He asked nonchalantly, and even his voice seemed to become warmer under the cover of the stove.

"I don't remember." He replied indifferently, without looking at him, for a while, and suddenly longed: "However, today's drink will be unforgettable." ”

"I remember."

He buried his head in silence for a moment, pursed his lips, put down the charcoal clip, cleaned his hands, and said happily: "In the triennial hunting test, due to unscrupulous tricks, we failed to hunt enough prey within the specified time, and according to the regulations, the princes who failed to pass the test will be demoted." ”

Emperor Mocang prefers to belittle only the king alone, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and even the entire Mocang royal family do not agree, and he can't agree. He originally wanted to ask his father to forgive his second brother, but they set a "precedent" and a shame for the entire Mocang. In order to inherit the hunting test for a long time in the future, his father must give an explanation to the people of the world, so someone must be punished!

At the beginning, it was said that if they failed the hunting test, they would be degraded together. The father and queen mother have the heart to protect him, and since he can't let go of the second brother, then he will accompany the second brother to be degraded, which is his last position.

Taking a deep breath, he continued: "Later, we were demoted by our father to Wuyue Valley to guard the imperial mausoleum, and in the first few days of guarding the imperial mausoleum, I have been sullen because of the bright moon and clear breeze, so you accompanied me to drink wine for three days and three nights, outside the imperial mausoleum, we were drunk like mud, and slept for three days and three nights, and I completely came out of my sadness." ”

"Later, when the weather is fine, we climb the mountain to watch the sun rise and the moon dive, when the rain falls, we hide in the house to listen to the rain game, Wuyue Valley is not like the snow field of Beichuan, the four seasons are like winter, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, where the climate is wonderful, spring and summer are long, autumn harvest and winter hiding, when the spring breeze rises, we go to the mountain temple to look for peach blossoms, when the summer wood is fertile, we go to the valley to fish for koi, when the autumn moon is in the sky, we climb the peak of the dogwood, when the snow suddenly comes, we wrap the snow jacket and lie on the fence to listen to the snow. In the past two years, the entire Wuyue Valley has been swam by us more than a hundred times! Now that I think about it, the days of guarding the imperial tomb are actually not bitter at all. ”

"If I have the opportunity, I really want to revisit my second brother's hometown."

He lowered his eyes and looked at the firelight, and the picture seemed to reappear in front of him, and when he recalled, his tone was full of nostalgia.

Raising his eyes, he looked at the second brother's calm face again, and his heart became more and more melancholy.

He once told him that the two years of guarding the imperial tomb were the most memorable two years of his life, how could he suddenly not remember.

"Three years of depreciation, changed to two years, all thanks to my father's favor for you, we returned to the palace ahead of schedule, and returned to the land of right and wrong!"

Glaring at the flickering sparks in the furnace, Mo Cang answered indifferently.

"I know that the second brother has always wanted to stay away from that place, but ah! We were born in the emperor's house, enjoying the glory that ordinary people do not have, and having the power that ordinary people do not have, we are born different from ordinary people, destined to bear unusual burdens, and the crown on our heads is not so easy to wear. ”

Mo Cang said with emotion, and there was a lot of helplessness in his tone.

Stay away, why don't you want to, but, how can you?

He was born to be a powerful man who poured the sky, so some people wanted to curse the sky, curse this day without dawn, curse this day is unfair, they can't fight the sky and don't believe in the sky, so they began to think about taking away the power that should belong to them, so they did not hesitate to go against the way of heaven, with what they think is humane, and launched a lifetime of power competition.

The funny thing is that he doesn't believe in this day either, what he firmly believes is that what doesn't belong to him will not be wanted after all, and what really belongs to him will definitely fight to get it back!

If you want to say far away, how far away is it? Even if he left the land of right and wrong, the people who killed him still chased him to the Wuyue Valley!

Guarding the tomb for two years, the art of assassination, unguardable, sword light and sword shadow, woke up in a dream, fortunately the master rescued him several times secretly, and he and his second brother survived in Wuyue Valley.

From then on, he knew that if he did not die, the contest was destined to end; From then on, he knew that he was destined to leave that place.

After guarding the tomb for two years, he didn't miss the person in the palace for a moment, he just looked forward to one day being able to return to the palace and reunite with her, even if it was across the palace!

Listening to the coldness of his words, the sadness in his words, as if something had punctured his tear ducts little by little, his fiery eyes suddenly flashed with a little starlight, he gritted his teeth, there was no expression on his face, but his heart was hoarse.

If only we hadn't returned to that palace two years ago! Even if I die with you in Wuyue Valley, I am willing, and that will definitely be the best ending between us!

A thousand hatreds, thousands of regrets, straight people are broken!

In the end, I couldn't hold back, and the clear tears fell down heavily, reflecting the scorching firelight, the tears like pearls and jade, as if they were born from quenching, and their usual wishes were burned out one by one in the fire.

I don't know if it was because of the sudden silence in the pavilion, or because of some other reason, the sound of the burning charcoal fire allowed it, as if a wild beast was biting something.

Mo Cang thought secretly, obviously set aside the charcoal fire, why the fire in the furnace is burning more and more, curiosity, he approached the stove, and explored.

Across the furnace, you can also feel his heart-wrenching. He noticed that his second brother seemed to be crying.

"Second brother, why are you crying?" He asked worriedly.

"The fire is too strong, it hurts!" He replied with a grim face.

The firelight shone on his gloomy face, and the two eyes, which were originally as dark as a pool, suddenly became extraordinarily clear, like a window opened after the rain, ushering in a beautiful scenery.

He could see that he had cried.

"I have clearly set aside the charcoal fire, how can this fire burn again?" Not wanting him to be embarrassed, he lowered his eyes and continued to explore the reason, muttering in his mouth: "It seems that the charcoal fire in the second brother's Fengchen Mansion is excellent......"

Quietly staring at the boiling wine in the furnace, Mo Cang knew that this fire was going to burn eventually!
