Chapter 53: War in the Western Regions
On the snow-white neck of the dumpling, I don't know when a jade pendant was wrapped, the size of its cat's claw.
Zhou Huan took it off and took a look, and the words "Moon Worship Tower" were engraved on it.
When was it put on?
As she pondered, the door was kicked open from the outside.
Xuan Yue glanced at the room and shouted to Zhou Huan: "Hurry up, it's too late!" ”
Zhou Huan put the jade pendant in his sleeve, picked up the ball again, and said calmly: "Go." ”
As soon as the two of them went out, they saw that the officers and soldiers had already rushed to the corridor on the second floor, and they immediately turned around and went back to the house.
"Go through the window."
Xuan Yue immediately stood up and pulled Zhou Huan to jump from the window.
At that time, the outside was full of people watching the excitement, and they discovered this scene and pointed at them, which soon attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers.
Zhou Huan glanced back, his brain turned quickly, "Let's run to a crowded place." ”
But as soon as they rushed into the crowd, they scattered like beasts hiding from a flood, and they were not given a chance to hide.
Seeing that he was about to be arrested, a luxurious carriage suddenly stepped out of a dark alley.
"Get in the car."
A warm voice came out of the carriage, Zhou Huan looked dazed, and dragged Xuan Yue up together.
The interior of the car is bright and luxurious, with bright yellow curtains hanging down, and silky folds like ripples piled up on the surface of the lake by the wind, clear and distinct lines.
The person on the collapse was wrapped in a brocade quilt, wearing a crown of jade, and looked like Pan An.
Qi Fengmian stretched out a slightly pale hand from the brocade quilt and poured hot tea for the two of them.
"I passed by just now and saw that you were surrounded by officers and soldiers, so I took it upon myself to pick you up."
It wasn't until he opened his mouth that Zhou Huan was sure that the person in front of him was Qi Fengmian, and he couldn't help but wonder, "I heard that you were picked up by the emperor, why did you come to the Western Regions again?" ”
He curled his lips and smiled, "I watched the sky at night, and found that there was a vision in the west, so after contacting the emperor, I met with the generals guarding Jiangyuan and asked them to bring me here. ”
Xuan Yue always sat upright, and when she heard that a general was coming, she was overjoyed, and her crow eyebrows were raised, "There are generals who send troops to suppress it, and it is a wild place, and if you don't get your hands on it, the master will be fine." ”
Zhou Huan glanced at Qi Fengmian more, saw that his brows were faintly sad, his eyes sank, and he opened the curtain to look.
There was already a mess outside, and the people who had chased and killed them before were fighting with the soldiers of the Central Plains, and occasionally the red-eyed people were slashing the people, and the blood of the fallen corpses was connected into a river, washing the bluestone road.
"The turmoil is easy to subside, but how can the innocent spirits of the undead that surround this city be quelled."
Qi Fengmian sighed and pulled the curtain down.
Before they fell, a man covered in blood suddenly saw them, with a face and only a pair of eyes that were still fair, but flashing with a crazy look, strolling towards them, muttering, "Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The long sword in his hand hung down to the bluestone road, and sparks were sparked, seeing that he was about to approach, a cruel smile appeared on his face, and suddenly a white light crossed, and his left arm was brutally cut off, but he only snorted, and continued to walk forward, until he reached the carriage, and slowly raised the long sword.
Zhou Huan's breathing almost stopped, and he looked at the scene in front of him with wide eyes.
Poof.
A long sword pierced his body, scarlet blood splashed on the curtain, and Zhou Huan didn't have time to close his eyes.
"The end will be too late."
Tang Yang held his sword and half-knelt, his rough voice was like a wolf howl on the plateau, even if he deliberately suppressed it for a few points, it was still terrifying.
Qi Fengmian swept her face worriedly and opened her lips, "How is the form outside?" ”
Being in this hell on earth, even if you don't ask, you know it.
Tang Yang looked a little tired, and slowly spoke: "A road to the Central Plains has been opened for adults, please hurry up." ”
The answer that avoided the important seemed to be in a very serious form.
The corners of Qi Fengmian's lips moved slightly, his clear eyes looked at the curtain rolled up by the wind, and said solemnly: "General Tang take care." ”
Zhou Huan saw that he was silent for so long, thinking that he was going to mention a few words, but who knew that it was actually this sentence, seeing that he looked out of the window as if he had been hollowed out, his heart was violently pinched.
"Some people have a definite fate, and if they can't hide, don't go to your heart." She listened to herself.
A streamer flashed in his originally dim eyes, Qi Fengmian looked back slightly, and sighed: "I've seen too much in my life, but because of this, I can't and can't save them, do you know what it's like?" ”
The car rolled over the bluestone paved road, and a lot of water in the teacup splashed outside, just like Zhou Huan's heart, wandering, "I know." ”
She was reborn once, knowing how many people ended up in the end, and she also thought about saving some of the pitiful, but when it really happened, she could only choose to be silent.
God gave her a chance to do it all over again, so that she could change all the mistakes she had made, instead of being a bodhisattva who helped the world and saved people everywhere.
The definite number of fate, she understands.
Qi Fengmian felt that his throat was a little dry, and drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat, his pale lips were slightly ruddy, "I will send you out of the Western Regions, and I will leave after you and the people of the Moon Worship Tower meet." ”
He said it to Xuan Yue, and when she moved from the carriage, she looked out the window anxiously, for fear of missing something.
Hearing this, Xuan Yue's taut strings loosened slightly, and hurriedly thanked her, "Today's favor, the Moon Worship Building has written it down, and it will definitely be returned in the coming day." ”
"No, whatever."
The corners of Qi Fengmian's lips were hooked, his eyes opened a little, and he waved his hand towards the group.
The little guy has been very honest since he came in, and it is estimated that it was the sound outside that frightened him, and he hid in the corner, looked at the three people in fear, and saw that he was beckoning himself, and he stretched out his legs hesitantly, and finally passed.
"I haven't eaten fat for a few days, it doesn't seem like tangyuan, I don't like to go out, I just like to stay in the mansion."
Qi Fengmian touched its white belly, and his eyebrows and eyes were a little gentle.
Looking at the ball in his arms, Zhou Huan suddenly remembered the jade pendant, she didn't have time to ask just now, and she could find Xuan Yue to inquire about the jade pendant at this time.
took out the jade pendant from his sleeve and stretched it out to Xuan Yue, "Have you ever seen this thing?" ”
The cat's claw-sized jade pendant is an ice crystal shape cut from mica stone, and its origin Xuanyue couldn't be clearer, "This is the master's personal thing, and he doesn't leave his hand on weekdays, why are you here?" ”
It seems that she guessed correctly, and before leaving the inn, Yinyue took advantage of her inattention to put it on the head of the ball.
"What's the use of it?" Zhou Huanfeng's eyes narrowed.
Xuanyue's expression was fluttering, obviously thinking about something else, and said casually: "Seeing the jade pendant is like seeing the lord of the Moon Tower, you can transfer the people of the Moon Worship Tower at will, even if you are not from this faction, you can." ”
Zhou Huan took back the jade pendant, he was angry and helpless with Yinyue in his heart, he didn't tell the truth, what did he say in the yamen at that time? said that he didn't know where Yao Chiyuan's person was, but now that he looked at it, he was clearly sure that he knew that he would provoke trouble, so he gave her some advice in advance.
This made Zhou Huan not know what to say about him, and touched the jade pendant in his sleeve again.
Xuan Yue seemed to come back to her senses, and asked after realizing it, "Why did the master give you the jade pendant?" You wouldn't steal, would you? ”
In the end, she was unwilling to buckle a hat for Zhou Huan, and she was sure that she was stealing, otherwise how could the master give such an important thing to an outsider instead of giving it to her?
Even if she didn't use her brain, Zhou Huan could read it from her face of dried plum vegetables, and said lightly: "Then I have to ask your master." ”
Qi Fengmian saw that the two of them were tense and had a great posture of making trouble, and interjected: "Passing through the hill in front should be the place where you and the army meet, the two young ladies will clean up first." ”
Xuanyue frowned slightly, "How do you know that the front is there?" ”
She remembered that she hadn't told him where she had met, and he hadn't looked out the window, so how did she know where she was?
Qi Fengmian smiled slightly, "Sometimes the eyes are not necessarily as bright as the head. ”
He glanced at Zhou Huan, and the two of them smiled.
However, Xuan Yue was confused, and said inexplicably: "Why are you talking like this?" It's foggy, no wonder the master keeps us away from the magic stick. ”
Zhou Huan's expression tightened, and he smiled at him: "She's like this, she doesn't have a heart." ”
"In the treacherous world of cloud oranges, it is really rare to be able to maintain an innocent state of mind, I am too late to envy, how can I care about her."
Qi Fengmian's eyes were gloomy, he was really envious.
Zhou Huan didn't expect an explanation to hurt him, so he hurriedly rounded the field, "Many people also envy the national teacher for having an eye in the sky, and there must be gains in everything, this is the great balance that he has done." ”
"From now on, you will be my only confidant." Qi Fengmian's eyes were slightly bright, and his eyes were as brilliant as fireworks.
Xuan Yue couldn't understand their conversation, opened the curtain and paid attention to the movement outside, seeing that it was almost over the hill, and said hurriedly: "Stop, it's over." ”
When the coachman heard that the carriage had stopped, the soldiers who accompanied him moved a horse.
Xuan Yue jumped down first, Zhou Huan opened the curtain and lowered it, looking back and said, "Where are you going next?" ”
Qi Fengmian lowered his eyes, and a white-faced student entered from her side, put the four treasures of the study on the table, he picked up a pen and wrote a few words, and then spoke: "Guard Yuanling, and minimize the damage as much as possible." ”
Yuanling was the frontier of the Western Regions before it belonged to the Liang Kingdom, but now it has become a fortress for suppressing riots.
Zhou Huan understood why he was deeply loved by the people, but he was seriously injured, but he endured the hardship of traveling and going to the battlefield, completely leaving life and death behind, on the other hand, Zhou Huan couldn't do it.
"Be careful, I'm waiting for your news in the capital." Zhou Huan took a deep look at him and lowered the curtain.
Such a good person will definitely be fine.
Seeing the carriage go away, Zhou Huan and Xuan Yue went to wait under the magnolia tree.
The sun is three poles, the official road is nowhere to be seen, Xuanyue is impatiently kicking the day, and her mouth is counting the hours.
Zhou Huan looked into the distance, and a worry rose in his heart, "Why haven't they come yet?" ”
"It stands to reason that they should have arrived earlier than us, they came from Yuanling, and they knew that it was so slow, so they let the god stick give us a ride."
Xuan Yuexin didn't think too much, and sat directly on the ground, holding her chin and looking at the clouds.
The dumpling in her arms had just woken up, and Zhou Huan hadn't complained, it sniffed, and suddenly its hair stood on end, jumping on her heels and dragging her to a bush.
"Oh my God!"
