Chapter 195: Guilt and self-blame
The mighty army headed north, and after the crowd of people seeing them off was blurred, Qi Liang looked back again, and his heart was touched, thinking about the situation of the last mission to Guangzhou, everything was so similar! Suddenly, I thought of the green shadow who had captivated the country and the city, but she still didn't appear this time, although she still felt loss and regret in her heart, but it was strange that it was not as strong as last time!
When the figure of the last soldier disappeared, a graceful green shadow flashed on the battlements of the city wall, and the situation was exactly the same as the last time, except that the orientation was changed, this time at the east gate, this time at the north gate. The green shadow looked deeply at the last time, Sakura muttered a few words, and turned away very lonely!
The army dragged five artillery pieces and walked slowly, but Qi Liang was not in a hurry, and with the glamorous Qi Xiyin by his side, he didn't feel that the road was boring and time was sad. Qi Liang scolded her several times, letting her hide her cloud-like hair with ordinary decorations, but she just didn't listen, she still liked to tower, and turned everyone upside down in front of a group of energetic and bloody soldiers. Qi Liang is jealous and angry, she is really wild, thinking about the Qi Xiyin she saw when she was in the Yellow Tiger Cottage before, her current appearance is much more restrained than the previous breasts!
Eight days later, we arrived at the border of Yunnan and Sichuan, where the mountains are steep, the peaks and valleys are deep, the mountain road twists and turns in the mountains, looking down at the bottomless canyon below, the valley bottom is covered by dense shrubs, it seems mysterious and unpredictable.
This is a Tibetan area, unique Tibetan FengQing, customs and architecture, sacred and simple. A small river flows out from between the two mountains, the grass grows at the water's edge, the willow trees are in full bloom, and the dark green barley seedlings, under the backdrop of greenery, there are pink peach blossoms, fiery cherry blossoms, as well as small bridges, flowing water, people, just like Tao Yuanming's paradise!
Hearing the sound of "booming" running water, Qi Liang shouted: "Everyone work harder, let's camp and rest when we get to the river!" Before his words fell, a crisp "whoosh" sound pierced the sky, and a sharp arrow flew in, Qi Liang happened to turn around after waving his arm, and he could dodge.
"There's an ambush!" The tight-fitting Liu Dexiang exclaimed. Suddenly all the people were in chaos, Qi Liang was pulled off the horse at the first time, and then saw the sharp arrows shooting, and the direction was very accurate towards Qi Liang.
The guards had already raised their shields, and a few more guards had closed together to hold Qi Liang under them. On the other hand, a group of soldiers had already attacked in the direction from which the arrows were fired, and the sharpshooters in the Ming Guard were also returning fire.
There didn't seem to be many enemies, and there was no response after just a few arrows, but I heard the sound of panicked pulling grass and trees from the mountain, accompanied by the sound of some gravel rolling down into the mountain stream.
"Shizi! Are you alright? The danger seems to have passed, but no one dares to take it lightly, Liu Dexiang wrapped Qi Liang in the center and asked worriedly.
"I'm fine! Don't panic! Qi Liang raised his head, he was hidden in the crowd, he couldn't see his figure at all, only heard the voice.
"The ——! of the Prince" There was a cry with a crying voice, and Qi Xiyin pulled away the crowd, "I'm scared of the slave family!" Just now I really scared her, not because of the thrilling scene, but because I thought Qi Liang was arrowed.
"Sister Qi! Thank you! Qi Liang pulled Qi Xiyin and hugged him in his arms to comfort him, just thanks to Qi Xiyin's eyes and hands, he quickly pushed it.
Qi Xiyin couldn't care about being shy now, hugged Qi Liang tightly, and said anxiously: "It's okay if you're okay!" It's okay! She still had lingering palpitations.
Qi Liang calmed down, looked around, and asked, "Is anyone injured?" ”
At this time, Liu Shengming, the commander of the Ming Guard, rushed over and replied: "Three guards have been injured, and one of them has died!" ”
Qi Liang asked in surprise: "Is an arrow fatal?" ”
Liu Shengming said: "The arrow is poisoned, and it happens to hit the vital point!" ”
Qi Liang's eyebrows raised angrily: "Thieves are hateful!" Then he ordered: "Hurry up and heal the wounds and detoxify the brothers who were hit by the arrows!" ”
Liu Shengming issued a command: "Everyone escorts the prince to the open area by the river quickly!" ”
When they arrived at the river, the guards surrounded Qi Liang in the central three inner and outer three layers, and there were many Kunming guards around him.
At this time, Lu Huixiang, the commander of Kunming Wei, hurriedly ran over to ask for sin: "The son of the world is frightened, he is incompetent, please give the son of the world!" "He opened the way ahead and did not see the danger beforehand, and he was indeed guilty.
Qi Liang raised his hand and said, "Commander Lu, please get up, it's none of your business!" Then he asked, "Is the situation clear?" ”
Lu Huixiang said guiltily: "The soldiers are still being hunted, and the current situation is unknown!" ”
Qi Liang's eyebrows furrowed: "Didn't the previous spies find anything abnormal?" ”
Although the prince said that he was not to blame, Lu Huixiang heard that the prince was still very dissatisfied in his heart, and said guiltily: "The former spies sent back, and no army was found within a radius of thirty miles, which should be done by a small group of assassins!" ”
Qi Liang said: "The soldiers are tired and frightened just now, so let's set up camp here!" ”
Lu Huixiang bowed down and said, "Please wait a while!" Then he turned around and gave a decisive and capable order: "Send a team to search around, and set up a fence." ”
Qi Liang was arranged by Lu Huixiang, Lu Huixiang should be much more experienced than him in marching and fighting, and listened to Lu Huixiang say: "Concentrate all the people around!" ”
Qi Liang hurriedly stopped: "Those people don't want to harass them, just send someone to monitor them." ”
Lu Huixiang said: "The son! Those Assassins appeared strangely, and they were suspicious of ......"
Qi Liang interrupted: "It can't be a local Tibetan, this is too stupid!" ”
Lu Huixiang is just taking precautions, thinking about it, it is impossible for an assassin to be stupid enough to assassinate himself in front of his own house, isn't this setting himself on fire? Besides, these Tibetans have no grievances and no enmity with the world, and they are desperate with risks?
After it was determined that there was no danger around, Lu Huixiang asked Qi Liang to move forward two miles to camp at this time, and at this time, a hundred households in charge of the pursuit came back to report: "Shizi! There were five assassins, four were dead, and one escaped wounded! ”
Qi Liang asked, "Have you found out the identity of the assassin?" ”
Baihu said: "The assassin is dressed as a civilian, and his identity cannot be determined!" ”
Qi Liang frowned, isn't there a clue? Lu Huixiang on the side took over and asked, "But Tibetans?" "Such an inquiry is suspicious of inducement.
Baihu shook his head: "No! ”
Qi Liang commanded: "Bring the assassin's corpse over!" Soon, two people pulled a corpse over, Qi Liang looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "This is a specially trained person!" ”
Lu Huixiang said: "Dare to ask the son!" How so? ”
Qi Liang said: "The assassin's archery is accurate, which is beyond the ability of ordinary people, and the bow and arrow used are military bows and arrows, and the poison on the arrow is not ordinary poison!" ”
Lu Huixiang disagreed: "Now the Central Plains is in turmoil, wars are raging, and it is not surprising that military weapons are everywhere among the people, and there are not a few people who are proficient in archery. ”
Qi Liang was not surprised by Lu Huixiang's rude rebuttal, but affirmed his serious attitude, thinking that this was also the reason why he was repeatedly not promoted.
"Did General Lu see the assassin's hand? If they were hunters who hunted in the mountains all day long, their hands would have been rough and scarred, and their fingernails dirty, but they were thick and strong, but they were neatly trimmed and clean, and they did not look like a man who worked all day! ”
After observing the other corpses, Lu Huixiang agreed that the assassin was a specially trained person, but just touched his head and asked, "Who could be so vicious and send an assassin to assassinate the prince?" ”
Liu Shengming said as a matter of course: "Who else will there be?" Whoever we send troops to fight is whoever we fight! ”
If it were so simple, would Lu Huixiang still want to break his head? "Commander Liu! This place is still in the rear of our army, and the Qing army has not yet been able to infiltrate here! He denied.
Liu Shengming disagreed: "Send a few assassins over, they can still do it!" Not to mention that this is Kunming City, it is normal to have Qing court assassins. ”
Lu Huixiang continued to deny without hesitation: "These assassins are not Manchurians!" ”
Liu Shengming was unconvinced: "General Lu! How so? ”
Lu Huixiang also carefully observed the characteristics of the assassin, and said: "A certain Manchurian people know a lot, Manchurians do not beat dogs, kill dogs, avoid eating dog meat, do not wear dog skin hats, do not lay dog skin mattresses, and taboo people who wear dog skin hats or dog skin sleeves, but you look at these people, some of them actually wear dog skin hats!" ”
Qi Liang nodded appreciatively, while Liu Shengming continued to ask, "They are not Manchurians, can't they be Han people in the Qing army?" ”
Lu Huixiang was about to refute it, but Qi Liang answered on his behalf, pointing at Liu Shengming and laughing: "Shengming! Don't argue, they can't be people sent by the Qing army, think about the fact that the master is taboo about things related to dogs, do the minions below dare to use things related to dogs? ”
Liu Shengming was stunned, laughed and laughed, and then asked curiously: "If it wasn't an assassin sent by the Qing army, who could it be?" Who would have such a great hatred for the Son? ”
Lu Huixiang pondered for a moment and asked in disbelief: "Will it be the former Ming relics?" ”
Qi Liang was noncommittal and said, "General Lu! Let's not guess anymore for the time being, you go and get busy with the affairs of the camp first! There is one biggest suspicion in his heart that he didn't say, that is, Wu Yinglin, if it is really the hands of Wu Yinglin's group, it will be a lot of things to go north for reinforcements this time!
Qi Xiyin was frightened, she didn't dare to imagine what would happen if the prince really had something? Since the Yellow Tiger Cottage saw Qi Liang injured, she could no longer bear Qi Liang's dead and alive appearance. Now she follows Qi Liang inch by inch, Qi Liang is almost all of hers, without Qi Liang, she doesn't know what will happen to her?
There was nothing Qi Liang did to set up camp, Qi Liang felt Qi Xiyin's nervousness about himself, and when he saw that the surroundings were safe, he took Qi Xiyin to the river and let her relax, he knew that Qi Xiyin liked to play in the water the most.
"A garden of red and glamorous drunken slopes, from the ground even the top of the tuft." The rhododendron of the mountain is red like fire, it has reached the twilight at this time, standing on the peak of the mountain and climbing high and overlooking it, but seeing the undulating mountains like waves in the sea, the scenery is ethereal, the beauty is abnormal, the hazy strange stone and different forest in the distance or under the mountain and the elegant natural environment set off with each other, forming a peaceful and quiet "fairyland" atmosphere. And Qi Liang and Qi Xiyin were in the "fairyland" under the mountain at this time, seeing the crystal clear river, Qi Xiyin immediately ran and jumped to the water's edge like a little girl, Qi Liang smiled heartily, if you see her so happy and happy every day, it is also a very pleasant thing.
In fact, Qi Xiyin is not happy because she sees water, is she still seeing fewer mountains and water? She was just happy because she was with Qi Liang.
There are azaleas everywhere, Qi Liang picked a bouquet of azaleas and gave it to Qi Xiyin, Qi Xiyin excitedly took the small bouquet of azaleas, Yan Ruyu, Qi Rulan, Jingpu Qiqiao smiled, very charming and moving.
"Smell the two branches in the hand, look at it carefully, it doesn't seem to be in the world, this thing in the flower is Shih Tzu, and the hibiscus peony is the mother." Qi Liang chanted Bai Juyi's poem about rhododendrons and asked, "Do you like it?" ”
Qi Xiyin's jade face was red and charming, and she nodded lightly: "Hmm!" Then he asked curiously: "How can the prince say that this azalea is Shih Tzu?" ”
Qi Liang smiled: "I didn't say it, it was a great poet in the Tang Dynasty who said it!" ”
Qi Xiyin Yue's eyebrows and starry eyes: "Who?" He's more chic! Although the azalea is beautiful, how can it compare to the hibiscus peony? ”
Isn't writing poetry an exaggeration? Qi Hao smiled: "It was Bai Juyi who wrote the poem, in his eyes, although the hibiscus and peony are beautiful enough, but compared with the azalea, they can only be regarded as an ugly old woman, and only the azalea is the beauty of the heavenly fairy." ”
Qi Xiyin heard the fiery red flowers in his hand, and sneered: "I don't believe it!" ”
Qi Liang smiled dumbly: "The radish and cabbage have their own loves, and they all have their own opinions, how can the great poet of the housekeeper think!" Then he teased: "Don't you like it, don't you like it, give it back to me quickly!" ”
Qi Xiyin is pretty, and she twists away, quite unreasonable: "Don't pay it back!" If you don't like it, you won't be returned! With clear eyes, he asked rhetorically: "The son!" Do you like azaleas? ”
Qi Liang didn't like it, and said something else: "Sister Qi! Do you know how many colors azaleas have? ”
Qi Xiyin sniffed the fragrance of flowers, and said casually: "There are many kinds!" ”
Qi Liang began to tease: "Sister Qi! Do you know? There are more than 100 colors in the world, and in addition to pure blue, almost all azaleas! ”
Qi Xiyin was surprised: "So much? ”
Qi Liang nodded: "Just this red rhododendron has red, vermilion, purple red, pink, flesh red, orange red, etc.; The color system of huang includes golden yellow, brown yellow, pure yellow, beige, milk yellow, light yellow, green yellow, etc.; White is pure white, milky white, etc.; There are also various shades of violet; There are also mixed colors, such as the "azalea on the clouds" that is white and red, white as snow, and can show the golden "golden-topped azalea" in the sunlight of the forest gaps. There is also a kind of multi-interest azalea, and the flowers have a variety of colors such as red, light red, yellow, and white! ”
Qi Xiyin Ying peach mouth was shocked by the "O" shape, Qi Liang was more proud, and more hard-working: "As far as the flower shape is concerned, azaleas have a variety of tube (set) simple shapes, funnel shapes, bell shapes, urn shapes, bowl shapes, saucer shapes, lip-like shapes, radial shapes, etc. ”
"Good flowers also need green leaves, and the leaf shapes of rhododendrons are round, oblong, oval, oval, ovate, lanceolate to linear, etc.; The texture is leathery and papery, and some of its leaves are also fragrant. "The more Qi Liang talks, the more amazing it becomes, and I don't know if he is messing around?" The flowering period of rhododendrons, wild species have flowers from spring to summer due to the different altitudes of various types, and are divided into spring cuckoos, spring and summer cuckoos, summer cuckoos, and autumn cuckoos! "He's like an azalea expert.
Qi Xiyin made an incredulous gesture and asked curiously: "Shizi! Have you seen so many azaleas? ”
Qi Liang was stunned, he couldn't answer for a while, he theorized a set, but the azaleas he had seen were only red.
Qi Xiyin's fingers were touched, and he said playfully: "Xiyin has seen many kinds of azaleas, red, white, and yellow, and others have also seen the white and red 'azalea on the clouds' that you said!" ”
Qi Liang was even more stunned, people are the real scholars, just now the class got an axe! Thinking about Qi Xiyin's life living in the mountains, it's not strange to see those flowers!
Qi Liang hurriedly hugged Qi Xiyin from behind and pecked him on his snow-like cheek, diverting the topic.
This thief doesn't look at the place, there are people everywhere! Qi Xiyin's face was flushed, and he struggled to go to the river, where the flowers and plants were overgrown and could hide people's eyes and ears.
Qi Liang didn't dare to be presumptuous, Liu Dexiang and other guards stood guard more than 20 meters away, and the two snuggled up and sat on a big rock, Qi Liang just grabbed Qi Xiyin's hand in a regular manner. Qi Xiyin suddenly shook his body and apologized: "Shizi! Just now you were assassinated, it was the slave family who harmed you! ”
Qi Liang was inexplicable: "Why did you hurt me?" Seeing that Qi Xiyin's body was shaking more and more, he immediately reprimanded: "Sister Qi! Don't think about it, it has nothing to do with you! ”
Qi Xiyin turned around and said in a trembling voice: "No! It has something to do with me, it's me who hurt you! It's all because I didn't listen to the son of the world, and I didn't hide myself in the ordinary sergeant's attire, so that the assassins could easily find you! ”
Qi Liang sighed lightly and continued to comfort: "It's none of your business, the assassins should know me, even if they don't have you by their side, they can find me accurately!" ”
In fact, what Qi Xiyin said was basically true, and Qi Liang had been wondering at first! How could those assassins accurately shoot at themselves among thousands of people, and then I thought that it should be Qi Xiyin's beautiful scenery that gave the coordinates.
Qi Liang was afraid that Qi Xiyin would continue to feel guilty and blame himself, so he kissed him on his pink face again, leaned close to her ear and said softly: "Sister Qi! If you're willing to take the initiative, I'll sing you a song! ”
Qi Xiyin's heart was pounding, she had heard Qi Liang sing at the luncheon of the Sarans brothers and sisters in Guangzhou, it was very different, she liked it very much. "What's the initiative?" She asked knowingly, shyly.
Qi Liang laughed as he ate, and pointed to his face to kiss him.
This abominable thief! Qi Xiyin blushed shyly, stood up abruptly and said, "Ignore you!" "She couldn't do that bold thing.
Qi Liang laughed, as long as Qi Xiyin forgot his troubles and kept his happiness, his goal would be achieved.
