Chapter 113: Advance or Retreat (II)
Concubine Dou was stunned in place, watching Geng Gong leave, ashamed and angry. At this moment, a black shadow burst out! Concubine Dou was startled and said in a trembling voice: "Who is it?" ”
The person who came grinned: "I'm not Geng Gong, my mother will not welcome me!" "This person is actually Dou Xian! Concubine Dou put her mind at ease: "Brother, it's you, it's the dark night, why are you scaring me!" ”
Dou Xian looked serious and said word by word: "Sister, I'm not joking!" The person who just came, not Geng Gong, who is that? Hehe, it's a dark night, Geng Gong went to the Niangniang dormitory, what are you doing? What can you do? Although I don't think about it, can my sister stop the thoughts of people in the world? ”
Concubine Dou panicked, tears in her eyes were about to burst out, and she begged: "Brother, don't say it, the emperor has to kill me!" Brother, please......"
Dou Xian puffed up his chest: "Sister, my uncle treats me like a mountain, how could I betray you?" Not only will I not speak out, but I will also help you get it done! ”
Concubine Dou was startled, a pair of jade hands, and kept shaking: "No, no, no......"
Dou Xian laughed: "Sister, life is in the world, but it is only a hundred years, instead of guarding the cold palace, it is better to have fun in time!" In the past, Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede, who were beautiful and beautiful, won the emperor's favor, and they didn't go to find the palace slave Yan Chifeng! This Geng Gong is a hero in the world, a civil and military all-rounder, and a skill, does my sister want to miss it? After speaking, without waiting for Concubine Dou to object, she leaned over and whispered. When Concubine Dou heard this, her face was red and her ears were red, and she was noncommittal.
In the imperial study, three incense sticks were inserted, and the smoke curled up. Emperor Zhang closed his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, he opened the dragon's eye, and burst out two majestic lights. When someone came to see him, he didn't panic, and said proudly: "Weichen Li Yi meets the emperor!" ”
Emperor Zhang looked at Li Yi, and saw that he was short and concise, neither humble nor arrogant, his two eyes were faintly shining, and he was satisfied: "Li Aiqing, this trip to the Western Regions is far away and dangerous, you must be more careful." When I arrived at Deshule, I asked Ban Chao, whether the Western Regions would be cut down or not? ”
Li Yi said loudly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, wait for the news of the ministers." ”
Emperor Zhang chatted a few more words, was very satisfied, and told Li Yi to leave. Li Yi left the palace, turned left and right, and went to the Great Sima and the Great General's Mansion. Dou Gu set up a banquet to treat each other, and the face-to-face teaching was appropriate, eating and drinking, until late at night, Li Yi staggered and went home.
In the dead of night, Shi Xiu carried a knife and walked back and forth in the imperial garden, walking over and over again. How familiar he is with every plant and tree here! But the man on the incense path was nowhere to be found.
"In a while, she, she, she will get married......" Shi Xiu's heart was like a knife, that day Yurong was lying in Geng Gong's arms, he was very uncomfortable, uncomfortable, but also a little relieved, "Only a hero like Brother Geng can be worthy of Yurong's beauty." Yurong is so weak, and only Brother Geng can give him stability for the rest of his life. "However, it is Dou Xian who Yurong wants to marry!
Maybe leaving is the best choice! Shi Xiu looked at the vibrant flowers and plants, panicked, and his heart was gloomy. Finally, he relented, left the imperial garden, passed through the pavilion and tower, and arrived at the military tent in the Tiger Ben camp.
A little candle flame, wrapped in the thick of the night, seems to be swallowed in an instant. Shi Xiu felt a hint of warmth, he lifted the curtain and walked in. Geng Gong squatted in front of the sand table, holding a book in one hand and pressing a sword in the other, when he saw Shi Xiulai, he put down the book and exclaimed: "Brother Xiu, why don't you go to patrol?" ”
"Brother, Concubine Song, Concubine Liang and Princess Yurong, I have taken a closer look, it is very safe, brother, please rest assured!"
Geng Gong nodded: "Actually, we have set up a lot of secret whistles, which are interlocking and horns of each other, so it will be fine." However, I can't rest assured, the last words of the Queen Mother Ma are like a mountain, pressing on my shoulders, and there is no room for loss! ”
"But brother, are you staying in the palace like this?"
Geng Gong was shocked and was silent for a long time. Shi Xiu said slowly: "Brother, Li Kang and Yang Wu went to the Western Regions, I, I, I also want to go to the Western Regions, this palace, I, I can't stay in the end......" Shi Xiu said in the back, his voice was like a mosquito.
Geng Gong sighed and said, "Brother Xiu, are you going to leave me too?" There are few brothers who used to stick to Shule, who walked and died. Why are you—why are you leaving? Is it a slack to be an elder brother? ”
Shi Xiu shook his head: "No, my brother treats me like a brother!" It's just, it's just that I have to go...... Li Yi is my old acquaintance, he was ordered to go to the Western Regions, and I happened to be able to follow him and be a companion. Brother, the palace is not a place to stay for a long time, you should try to leave...... I, I'm in the Western Regions, waiting, waiting for my brother to arrive......" In Shi Xiu's mind, the woman with a sad face surfaced again, and her heart was like a knife for a while, maybe if she left, she could forget it.
Geng Gong held Shi Xiu's hand and said in a low voice: "Brother Xiu, I also want to leave the palace as soon as possible, either to guard the border or to conquer the Western Regions...... However, the emperor is alone in the palace, if I leave, won't the emperor be in danger? ”
The two of them had their own thoughts, and they were silent. In the darkness, a cold moonlight suddenly shone in, sprinkled in the tiger camp, like a layer of fine snow. The two chatted for a while, and Shi Xiu was reluctant to leave the camp. When he left, he wanted to say, "Take good care of Princess Yurong." However, these words were swallowed in his mouth, and he did not say them after all.
The next night, it was dark again. Shi Xiu sat in the imperial garden with his sword in his arms, tomorrow, he will travel far to the Western Regions, and the goal will be the rolling yellow sand, this piece of red, red, green and green will eventually become the best memory in life, and the person in his heart will always be buried in his heart and can not be seen again. Thinking so crankily, suddenly a palace maid came over, pursed her lips and smiled: "General Shi, Princess Yurong is invited." ”
Shi Xiu was taken aback: "Princess Yurong? She invited me? ”
"The general is going to travel far tomorrow, don't you want to see Princess Yurong? As soon as the general said goodbye, or for a lifetime, the princess had a few words that she wanted to say to the general. General, please come with me. After the palace maid finished speaking, she picked up the lantern and turned around and left.
