It is the middle of August, the heat is all gone, the mountain is high and densely forested in the Funiu Mountain is even cooler, when there is wind, it blows people for a while.

I don't know where in the mountains, there is curling bonsmoke. If you get close, you can smell the aroma, which is the smell of roasting. The thick two branches and forks are inserted on the ground, making a scorching rack, the firewood is flourishing under the shelf, and the scorching meat is turned over on the shelf, and the oil is bubbling up, which makes people salivate.

"Xiaokuan's craftsmanship, tsk, is getting better and better." Chen Qingzhi made a chopstick, holding the hot meat and devouring it, and he didn't look like a half-cent.

It was Pei Guo who turned the meat rack, and said with a smile: "Isn't it because you have recovered and your appetite is great?" ”

Let's say that Yuwentai let go of Pei Guo and Chen Qingzhi on the bank of the Songgao River that day, and the two crossed the river and plunged into Funiu Mountain.

The lost and recovered Huang Gong horse carried Chen Qingzhi, led by Pei Guo in front, and carefully walked on the wide part of the slope. After turning and turning for a long time, I entered a quiet valley, and then looked for a cave that could shelter from the wind and rain, and temporarily sheltered.

Chen Qingzhi was so tired that he fell to the ground and fell asleep. This sleep, drowning and heartbreaking, I can't afford it for a long time, even if I wake up occasionally, I always feel groggy and sick.

Thanks to Pei Guo's dedication, hunting and picking fruits, he took care of everything. More than a month has passed, and it is only today that Chen Qingzhi can be considered to be cured, and after a long time, even the deep pain caused by the destruction of the white-robed army has gradually weakened, and his mood has finally become much happier.

After eating and drinking, Chen Qingzhi smacked his lips, remembered something, and asked with some hesitation: "Xiaokuan... I am already in good health, and I am about to get cold in the mountains, and it is time ... Let's go? ”

Pei Guo nodded, looking calm: "That's nature." ”

Chen Qingyi was overjoyed and blurted out: "But if I can return to Jiankang, I will tell Your Majesty that I am alone responsible for the crime of defeat." Filial piety is the first in every war, and the merits are great, and your majesty should be rewarded heavily! ”

"No need." Pei Guo smiled faintly: "When the envoy is sent to the border of Weiliang, I will turn back to the north, and I won't even see the river at that time, how can I go to Jiankang?" ”

Chen Qingzhi's face changed greatly: "Filial piety to you... Are you going to stay in the north and not return to the Great Liang? ”

Pei Guo sighed: "I am from the north, in fact, since the day the white-robed army set out, I have made up my mind to stay in the north for a long time. ”

Chen Qingzhi said hurriedly: "Yuan Hao has been destroyed, why do you stay in the northern country?" ”

Pei Guo's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "My brothers don't pull any of them, they are all in the northern country, and they all remember me Pei Guo!" Why can't I survive? ”

Chen Qingzhi shook his head and sneered: "But that day, how can I feel that your godbrother doesn't want you to go back?" ”

Pei Guo froze, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he was speechless for a while. Chen Qingzhi took the opportunity to persuade: "The northern country is in turmoil, and the people's livelihood is ruined, while my Jiangdong is prosperous, and the country is peaceful and peaceful." Xiaokuan, it's better to go back with me. ”

"Although Jiangdong is good, it is not my peace of mind... Pei Guo said quietly: "Envoy, the hour is not early, let's rest early tonight." Early tomorrow morning, the two of us will leave for the mountain. ”

When Chen Qingzhi heard this, he knew that Pei Guo had made up his mind, and he was gloomy for a while.

Speechless all night.

On the second day, the two of them had a full meal, and there was nothing to clean up, so they took the yellow horse and left.

Pei Guo asked Chen Qing to get on the horse and saluted very respectfully. Chen Qingzhi stepped on the horse, his heart was full of emotion, he looked at Pei Guo for a long time, and suddenly his blood surged, so he said: "Xiaokuan, you have always helped me a lot, and this time you saved my life... There's one thing I can't hide from you anymore. Otherwise, I'm upset. ”

Chen Qingzhi said solemnly, Pei Guo couldn't help but be stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Qingzhi gritted his teeth, and told the past from beginning to end that he sneaked into the six towns with his subordinates, stirred up the storm everywhere, and finally broke the Liuhan Baling Uprising, which caused the chaos in the six towns.

After Pei Guo listened, his mind went blank, and he ate and said, "So... You weren't coerced by the breaking of the Six Han Baling at all, but the mastermind behind the scenes? ”

Chen Qingzhi sighed: "It can't be said that it is the mastermind behind the scenes. The six towns have been accumulating disadvantages for a long time, and they just put the Buddha dry firewood and blaze the fire. After a pause, he said cautiously: "It's just that the rebellion of the six towns is so tired that Xiaokuan's mother died, which is really not what I can predict." Every time I think about it, I feel guilty about it. . . ”

Pei Guo suddenly became furious, strode forward, and reached out and grabbed Chen Qingzhi's clothes. was so ruthless that he ripped Chen Qingzhi off his horse and fell to the ground, embarrassed.

Pei Guo's eyes were red, and he roared: "It turns out that you have been lying to me all along!" Yes and no? Chen Qingyi's face was annoyed and speechless.

After screaming a few times, Pei Guo stepped forward again, grabbed Chen Qingzhi's chest with his left hand, and took out a short dagger with cold light from between his boots with his right hand, and when he stretched out his hand, it was already against Chen Qingzhi's chest, and his tone was cold: "So... Jiuzhen is also lying to me, yes and no? ”

Chen Qingzhi's face was pale and he stood for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "I died at the hands of Xiaokuan today, and I have nothing to say." ”

The knife flashed, the cold covered his face, Chen Qingzhi closed his eyes and waited for death...

After a breath, there was no blood splashing, but I saw hair flying. Chen Qingzhi only felt that the top of his head was cold, and his eyes widened in shock, and when he touched the top of his head, it turned out that Pei Guo had been cut into a bald scoop with a knife.

"I'm not going to kill you." Pei Guo had already turned his back and walked away a few steps, and his voice came from himself: "You told me about this... It's okay, so I broke off the last trace of thought about Jiangdong. From today onwards, I will meet you indefinitely! ”

Huang Qian carried Pei Guo on horseback, turned around the valley pass, and disappeared.

Chen Qingzhi stood for a long time, until a gust of wind blew, he shivered, couldn't help touching his bald head, and smiled bitterly: "Okay, without hair, just turn into a monk, but it is also convenient to walk." ”

。。。。。。

In September, the autumn is crisp, and the already prosperous Jiankang City suddenly makes a lot of noise and bustle. However, it was Xiao Yan, the lord of Liang, who opened four more uncovered conferences and once again sacrificed himself into Tongtai Temple. Soon out of the temple, donate 200 million money, pardon the world, change the yuan in the chase.

On the day of leaving the temple, Chen Qingzhi, who was ragged and unkempt, appeared in Jiankang City, crying and worshipping and asking for punishment.

Xiao Yan was in a good mood, laughed when he heard this, and said: "Qingzhi is not a general, and it is not a wealthy family, but it swept thousands of miles in the north, won all the battles, conquered all the attacks, and looked at the wind and clouds, so far. When Suo Lu heard the name of Qingzhi, he was not afraid, and the so-called 'famous teachers and generals should not be imprisoned, and thousands of troops and horses avoided white robes'. If it is a great achievement, what is the sin? You see, when you leave the temple today, you will be blessed by the Buddha to return to celebrate, isn't it a blessing for me? Haha, wonderful, wonderful! Chen Qingzhi was picked up on the spot, promoted to the general of the right guard, entered the Marquis of Yongxing, and sealed 1,500 households.

Xiao Yan did not punish and rewarded, Chen Qingzhi was overjoyed, and he said goodbye. It's just that when he returns home, in the dead of night, he will always wake up for no reason, and sigh at the moonlight: "Taste and smell it will be a success, and the bones will wither, it turns out... It's all true. Chen Gui, Sun San, Tianchou, Jing Xiu... Wait for the Spirit of Heaven and rest in peace. And filial piety... May you be all the best, and you will ... Indefinite. ”
