Chapter 32 The Morning and Twilight Give Life and Death
Shenzhou Lu Shen, the lives of hundreds of millions of living beings are not enough to fill the king's desires.
The rivers and lakes are deep, love and hatred. Cui Mingwei was in the mood to find her sweetheart, but she fell into the spy war between the two countries for no reason.
Blessings and misfortunes lurk, and at the moment when Cui Mingtang befriended Shanghejian Mansion, fortune and misfortune alternated and fate shifted.
From the perspective of Pang Yan, the yin and yang family of Shun Teng, the bond between life and death is nothing more than the will of heaven in the underworld, and the traction of qi and machine. Carefully put it together, Ming Weifu Jun Cui Hanzhang is full of luck, and he has the talent of the Seven Buckets of Divine Light, and he is also the blessing of the national fortune hand-picked by the Son of Heaven. If you can turn over and set the horse, you will inevitably turn into a dragon, and you will be afraid that it will be difficult to fly to the sky without great difficulties, and you will rely on each other for blessings and misfortunes, can he only get all the good things in the world?
The ancients often said: "There is no way for good or evil, but people call themselves?" ”
Pang Yan once admonished King Pingkang in a serious manner, "Those who are attentive and attentive will not be shocked by the thunder." Red dust is worldly, and there are very few of them. ”
Businessman Cui Mingtang does not believe in this, the world always blames the reality of powerlessness on ethereal things, and he believes in great power. But at this moment, there is only chagrin and remorse in my heart, my sister was attacked and stabbed in front of him, what is the use of him having a killing fist and kick? even regretted that he shouldn't have brought her to a dangerous place like Hejian Mansion, thinking that his good brother Cui Hanzhang was still fighting on the front line, how should he explain?
Since ancient times, the poison in Mingwei is extremely rare, it is a kind of heterozygotic cold poison produced in the far north, the cold poison enters the body, freezes the blood, if it cannot be removed in time, it will naturally freeze and die in three hours. This poison is the first time it has appeared in the world, and it was found by the pharmacists of Bingzu Valley in the cold land of the extreme north, and there is no antidote so far. If the assassination case in Taikang Qionglin Banquet had this killer weapon, I am afraid that there would be no Emperor Shenguang Jialong's royal expedition.
The large and small medical halls of Hejian Mansion were helpless, and they could only use the medicine of the Yang to resist the invasion of cold poison and hang their hearts, and some Lang Zhong even euphemistically expressed their relatives' condolences and began to prepare for the future. The angry Cui Mingtang beat people violently, Mingwei's physique is weak, and she can't stand the cold since she was a child. Now where can I survive the cold poison of the different species, I saw her lying on the sickbed like a gossamer, unconscious most of the time, Mingtang could only be anxious.
"Don't be sad, it's all fate, Xiangshi said that my sister's life is thinner than paper, and my father sent me to Taikang Cui's house to seek refuge, but I didn't think that I still couldn't get around the hurdle. Mingtang, my sister can meet Hanzhang, and she is already very content. My sister has nothing else to ask for, she just wants to be able to see Cui Lang in her lifetime. Cui Mingwei knew in her heart that time was short. At this time, she only thought about her husband Cui Lang who fought in the Northern Expedition, although the two were not married, they were already regarded as husband and wife in their hearts. Although the time together is short, every bit of it is endless. The only regret may be that I can't marry him in a wedding dress......
If life is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight? Cui Hanzhang had doubts about this eternal sentence for the first time, life and death in the morning and twilight, and it was difficult to continue the relationship between yin and yang.
It was night, the moon shadow was dark, and the sky was half gray.
Cui Hanzhang was flustered and stuffy all night and couldn't sleep.
I had to get up and walk out the door, looking at the stars under the clear night sky in a daze, the night wind blowing through the city wall, and the cold was to the bone.
He seemed to see Mingwei's smile on a shining star, and the whole night sky brightened up in an instant, like the sun shining, making people feel warm. Cui Hanzhang thought that if he was lucky enough to die in this Northern Expedition, he would marry his beloved girl when he went back, he couldn't wait for the golden autumn of next year, the morning and twilight were eternal, and he didn't experience the temptation of life and death, how could he know the obsession in his heart?
The night is heavy and dewy, and Luo Ji is not tolerant of the cold. If it weren't for Li Qingshan getting up at night to go to the toilet and seeing him standing in the courtyard, smirking at the night sky at forty-five degrees, maybe Cui Hanzhang would have been so addicted all night.
"Cui Datanhua is sleepwalking hysteria or obscene girl? Why are you smirking at the dark night sky? ”
Cui Hanzhang turned around and slowly walked back into the house, and when he passed behind Li Qingshan, he raised his foot and kicked his buttocks, "Vulgar, you still dare to say that you are like Qingshan, how charming you are." ”
Li Qingshan gently swung his waist and hips, unloaded most of the strength of his kick, and "sneered" at him, "Urination, quickly put away the tone of the poet, and smirk at the night without sleeping in the middle of the night, something is wrong...".
Li Qingshan was the most seriously injured, but he recovered the fastest, which made the entire Jiatongguan soldiers look sideways. Ya is a little strong bed bug that can't be killed, he calls it a good body, a natural warrior. If it weren't for Cui Hanzhang's revelation that he was bragging to his brothers in the ranger camp, "The most important thing in life is endurance!" "Therefore, I usually learn to be beaten first, and then learn to beat people, and then I will be injured first, and then I can cut people's philosophy of life, I am afraid that the soldiers who defend the city of Jiatong Pass have been bluffed by him, and I really think that this grandson is born to plant, and the battlefield is ten thousand enemies!
Compared with another crippled buddy, Cui Hanzhang's injuries were more fatal, but fortunately, the blood did not dry up, and the blood did not dry up. After the three of them were rescued back to Jiatong Pass, they gradually recovered after careful treatment, and Cui Hanzhang's waist and abdomen wounds healed the slowest, so they could only watch Li Qingshan sigh every day, but fortunately, when they were bored, they practiced the battle battle battle book.
Cui Mingtang sought medical advice and medicine to treat Mingwei in many ways, sparing no expense but with little success. After Dong Baozhen broke his arm, he was even more favored by the Holy Will, and temporarily replaced the affairs of the government and Taiwan with the post of Tongzhi, and carried out thunderbolt and thunderbolt methods, cleaning inside and outside, and now the officials of the Hejian Mansion are clear and clear. When Dong Baozhen was on official business, she came to visit Cui Mingwei, and saw that the bright and moving woman at the beginning was now depressed by cold and poison, and she was very ashamed.
Cui Yun listened to the explanation that after Wei was poisoned, he brought the famous doctor Mu Yi from Taikang for diagnosis and treatment, and Mu Yi shook his head helplessly when he saw his face,
"I don't know the source of the cold poison, and I can't start treatment. Moreover, over time, the toxins have invaded the internal organs. ”
A dignified seven-foot man, he was powerless in the face of his sister's illness, and Mingtang's self-blame and guilt tormented him night and night. Fortunately, the faun doctor used the golden needle to pull out the poison, and he could only delay and slow down the deterioration of the situation, but it has been clearly stated that Mingwei's foundation is too weak, at most half a year, or at least two months, I am afraid that it will be lost to the jade.
It was a clear day, and it was April in the world, Mingwei rarely got out of bed and walked around, calling Mingtang and Cui Yun, chattering intermittently,
"Everything is fate, and nothing is up to anyone. I can live well to this age, I am already content, life is hard, and meeting Cui Lang is a blessing for three lives. ”
"Cui Lang is at the time of the Northern Expedition, so he shouldn't have bothered, but I'm afraid that time is running out, and I won't be able to survive his triumphant day, thinking that I can see him again before leaving."
Mingtang heard his sister comfort the two of them like this, and looked at Mingwei, who was getting thinner and thinner who was tortured by cold poison, and tears flowed down his eyes. Thinking that my sister has never enjoyed the love of her parents since she was a child, she went away to Taikang City alone, and she has to run a business when she grows up, thinking that God has finally opened her eyes to favor her once, who would have thought that before she could finish her marriage with Cui Hanzhang, she would be poisoned and die, how unfair is God?
"Sister, you take care of your illness, you are poor and fall into the Yellow Spring, I will also find an antidote and detoxification, I will help you find Cui Hanzhang, even if he kills the Beihu Royal Court at this time, I will find him back." Cui Mingtang couldn't bear his sister's grief, swore to comfort her, got up and left, and went straight to Jiatong Pass.
Cui Mingtang annoyed Dong Baozhen and heard that Cui Hanzhang was recuperating from his injuries in the entire Jiatong Pass, and put on makeup overnight to follow the grain and grass transportation team of Xiao's Commercial Bank into the city. When he found Cui Hanzhang, he saw that he was covered in bandages, and there was a strong man with a broken leg lying on the bed next to him, Cui Mingtang felt that the sky was about to fall, could it be that Mingwei and Hanzhang should both be so unfortunate, one was seriously injured and dying, the other was highly poisonous, and the tough guy's eyes were slightly red, and he endured choking.
After fighting on the battlefield for a long time, Cui Hanzhang's vigilance increased greatly, and he woke up when Cui Mingtang approached his bed, and when he opened his eyes and saw his good brother who he hadn't seen for a long time, he thought that he was thinking about it day and night, and couldn't help pinching his thigh, and the pain made him realize that it was not a dream. But when he saw Mingtang, who had never been hard-headed, his eyes were red and swollen, and he looked puzzled.
"Brother, you didn't follow the Holy Lord, how could you be so seriously injured?" Mingtang strode to the bed and asked nervously.
"I'm a captain in the Ranger Camp now, how can staying in the camp have the excitement of going out and fighting? You see, my arms are a lot thicker now! Cui Hanzhang didn't want Mingtang to worry, so he changed the topic casually, rolled up his sleeves, clenched his fists, and bowed his arms to show him.
But the movement was large and involved a wound in his waist, and he sweated in pain.
"Okay, don't slap your swollen face and become fat, lie down and don't be reckless." Mingtang understood his intentions, and hurriedly helped him lie down again, his face was a little cramped, and his heart was drumming, not knowing how to tell him about Mingwei's situation.
It's really a husband and wife who are connected by the same fate, and both of them are wandering around in front of the ghost gate, but it's a pity that one is reincarnated as a human being, and the other has no choice but to walk on the bridge.
"Jiatong Pass is a military fortress, and during the Northern Expedition, Mingtang should not be here." Although Hanzhang was seriously injured and recuperated in bed, he had a clear idea in his mind, and idlers and others would be shot as saucers at any time.
"I, I'm not traveling with a caravan, thinking I can come and see you." Mingtang had something in his heart, and his mouth was not good, so he temporarily prevaricated.
"That's not right, Cui Mingtang, you have a personality that dares to fight and fight, how can you talk about it directly." Cui Hanzhang had already seen his unnaturalness, so he directly broke it.
After thinking about it again and again, Mingtang really didn't know how to speak, Hanzhang rarely saw his hesitant expression, and felt that the situation was abnormal, "Why are you hiding between me and my brother, if you don't encounter difficulties, you won't come to the front line to look for me." ”
Hearing Hanzhang's question, Mingtang couldn't bear to deceive, and his sister was still struggling on the sickbed in Hejian, "Brother, I'm sorry for you, my sister was poisoned by the extreme north cold poison in Hejian Mansion, and the shepherd doctor said that she wouldn't live for half a year at most." I came to look for you this time, because my sister missed you every day before her sickbed. ”
"What? How could Mingwei run to Hejian Mansion, and how could she fall for the Beihu Han poison? When Han Zhang heard this, he was furious, panicked, and grabbed Mingtang's wrist and asked.
Mingtang is not deceiving, so he prepared to open a store and accidentally met Dong Baozhen, went to Taikang to transport goods, returned to Hejian and set up a banquet in Ge Bingfang to thank Bao Zi of Hejian Mansion, and told all the circumstances of the assassination when he knew Dong Baozhen, my sister was accidentally injured by a poisonous needle when toasting with Lord Bao, Lord Bao died on the spot, Dong Baozhen broke his right arm, and now the entire Hejian Mansion has also entered a state of combat readiness, and the soldiers and horses are patrolling.
Cui Hanzhang was very worried when he heard it, hearing that Mingwei was now invaded by cold poison into the internal organs, even the divine doctor Mr. Mu that Cui Yun invited from Taikang was helpless, he could no longer recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, and he was impatient to rush to Hejian Mansion to see his beloved Mingwei with his own eyes. Originally, I was thinking that I would go back to marry my beloved girl after the war, but now Mingtang actually brought the bad news that she was highly poisonous and her life was not long, Han Zhanggang struggled to get up, attacked his heart in a hurry, opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly his eyes were dark, and he fell on the bed.
"Hanzhang, Hanzhang, wake up!" Mingtang saw Han Zhang, who vomited blood and fainted, his face was sallow, and he couldn't help but be anxious.
"He's fine, it's just that he was in a hurry, he hurt his back, his blood surged, he fainted, and he couldn't die." Li Qingshan, who had been secretly pricking up his ears and eavesdropping in the distance, saw Cui Hanzhang vomiting blood and fainting, so he hurriedly ran over to check, and after checking the pulse, he said casually.
"Poor man, I was almost cut off by the Beihu barbarian, but fortunately, I followed me, and the Lord of Yama didn't dare to accept him, count him lucky. When you came, tell him directly that the daughter-in-law who did not pass through the door was also assassinated by the Northern Hu Barbarian, and she was poisoned by the extreme north cold, and her life was short. You say he can't be anxious and angry, but it's not a hurry! Li Qingshan's words were logical, and combined with the situation of his eavesdropping, he naturally guessed eight or nine.
Mingtang has now practiced his muscles and bones, which can be regarded as the first glimpse of the mystery, and naturally understands the principle of qi and blood, and after thanking Li Qingshan with his fists, he will use the technique of massaging and invigorating blood to help Hanzhang. After a toss, Cui Hanzhang woke up slowly, with a sad face, and said to Li Qingshan:
"My subordinates want to go to Hejian Mansion, and I ask General Li to be accommodating."
Li Qingshan said with a serious face, "It's not that Lao Tzu is unkind, at the moment of the Northern Expedition, although you and I are recuperating in the rear, we must not leave without permission, otherwise we will be punished as deserters, and the crime should be punished." ”
"The subordinates have difficulties, and the general can hear them clearly, the situation is really forced to do so, and I will write to the Holy Lord to ask for guilt." Cui Hanzhang heard him say this, and replied with an unusually resolute face.
"Brainless, I said that you are so smart in writing poems and lyrics, how can you encounter the love between men and women, and you don't know how to turn a corner? If you can't get out, you can get the big girl in. "It's rare for Li Qingshan to be so serious, but he doesn't forget to hurt people.
"Hanzhang, what General Li said makes sense, I came this time with the idea of trying to find you, besides, you have to continue to recuperate from your injuries and should not move around, let me go back and arrange for my sister to be sent to Jiatong Pass, there are also women and children in Jiatong Pass, there are customs clearance documents opened by Dong Baozhen, as long as I have no problem waiting for my identity, I should come in." Cui Mingtang quite agreed with Li Qingshan's idea and hurriedly persuaded him.
"A good person will do it to the end, Jiatong will guard Yao Daguan there, and I will help you be accommodating." Li Qingshan couldn't help but have a headache when he thought of Yao Daguan, who was running with him wholeheartedly, and the troubles were really one after another.
Seeing Li Qingshan shaking his head and walking out, Mingtang got up and poured a glass of water for Hanzhang, and said with a sad face: "Sister's cold poison has been temporarily suppressed by the Golden Needle of the Faun Medicine, but my sister's body is not full of vitality, and it is difficult to say how long she can survive." ”
"Mingtang, you must be very careful when you go to Hejian Mansion here, I'm worried about whether she can stand the bumps in the road. Anyway, I hurt her. Cui Hanzhang's heart was like a knife, and he tightly grabbed Cui Mingtang's arm and asked him.
Along the way, he didn't dare to let her endure the bumps of the carriage, so he was carried on a stretcher by the sedan chair driver, and it took ten years to hurry up. With the acquiescence of the guard Yao Daguan, Li Qingshan and others successfully took Ming Wei into Jiatong Pass.
Cui Hanzhang insisted on walking on the ground every day, and with the help of Li Qingshan, he climbed to the top of the city and looked south.
"A seed of infatuation, if you don't come again, he will become a wife." Li Qingshan joked in the first sentence when he saw Cui Mingwei.
Ming Wei smiled, feeling warm in her heart, and everyone left, leaving only the two of them to get along quietly in the house.
looked at each other's hands and tears, but they were speechless and choked.
Who would have thought that the Northern Expedition completely changed the trajectory of the fate of two people,
No wonder Pang Yan once sighed, Heaven is unkind and uses all things as dogs,
The war between Shenguang and Beihu is mixed with many joys and sorrows.
Under the general trend, the killing is not stopped, and the front line and the rear are just the difference between early and late.
"I'm a lot thinner." Hanzhang gently stroked Mingwei's cheek and said affectionately.
"Cui Lang is also tanned." Mingwei was sad in her heart, knowing that her fate was not long in coming, but seeing Cui Hanzhang's sad affection, she felt that the pain of the extreme northern cold poison was insignificant.
"In the days to come, I will give you decoction, groom you, and give you a thrush, but I am just bitter cold at the border, and I have wronged you." Hanzhang looked at Mingwei, who was thin, and only wanted to accompany her.
"The concubine can serve Cui Lang with the posture of Pu Liu, and she is already content. Although you and I can only accompany you in Jiatong Pass, it is better than the concubine's decades of life in Taikang City, but I am not blessed to spread the branches for you, and I am sorry for my mother-in-law who is far away in Xikou. "Mingwei is a gentle woman, but also a moving woman, at the end of her life, she still remembers the bloodline inheritance of the Cui family, and her love for Cui Hanzhang is silently nourished in the bits and pieces of life.
The two hugged each other all night, whispering lingeringly, and Mingwei seemed to have to say everything she wanted to say to him for the rest of her life........
Cui Yun, Mingtang and others outside the door had a thousand grievances in their hearts, but they had nowhere to vent their frustration.
The two countries are fighting, all living beings, as tall as the Lingwu Marquis, as small as the peasant woman in the countryside, who can fight against fate, and who is not an ant under the way of heaven?
The world is impermanent, life is short, such as the morning dew, and the past day is bitter.
Cui Yun's experience of this incident made up his mind. The next time you see that guy from the Jiang family, you must make your heart clear. She didn't want to be like Sister Mingwei and met happiness, but she slipped away between her fingers, "I hope you return safely." Cui Yun folded his hands and prayed silently.
The early morning at the border pass was particularly lively, the thunderous morning exercise in the barracks, the men with strong blood shouted loud slogans and practiced, and the galloping horses shuttled inside and outside the city gate.
Cui Hanzhang felt that the recent recovery was accelerating, so he practiced in front of the door early in the morning, and did not stop after getting off the ground. Li Qingshan bumped into him twice occasionally, and after careful observation, it was rare to praise him, although Cui Hanzhang did not know the bottom of him, he was sincerely relieved. Therefore, in front of Li Qingshan, he practiced generously and was not afraid of stealing teachers.
"It's a very interesting style, no wonder you're recovering so well, you're about to catch up with me. If you practice well, you can not only grow your strength, but also soar your combat power. It's just that I see you're doing something wrong. Li Qingshan squatted under the eaves, chewing willow and sweet branches in his mouth and brushing his teeth, casually, looking like a master, and said pointingly.
"In this case, Brother Li will help me correct it, this style has been passed down from generation to generation by our Xikou Qianyanzhou kiln burners, and women, children and children can also play it." Cui Hanzhang relaxed and exhaled.
"You can certainly grow your strength when you practice now, but I'm afraid you don't know how to exert your strength, right? Moreover, although your style is good, it always lacks residual momentum, so it is not ruthless enough, and its killing power is even more limited. It may also be related to your temperament and inability to release your fierce side. When Li Qingshan talks about martial arts, he is always very serious, and he always hits the nail on the head when he talks, which makes people awe-inspired.
If it weren't for Li Qingshan's usual secrecy and reluctance to talk more about the origin of his teacher, I'm afraid Cui Hanzhang would have suspected that he was really the heir of the ancestral court of the military family as rumored. Otherwise, how can the art of war battle array, martial arts, bearing and vision are all extraordinary, and the nine-stream miscellaneous arts of Shinto and Shinto are simply a treasure trove of soldiers.
"With your guidance, in retrospect, it was. The subordinates practiced this kiln style, and the original purpose was to grow strength, and the kiln craftsmen in Xikou Township were all used to strengthen the body and boil the strength. As for the lethal power, I never thought about it at all. Cui Hanzhang humbly taught, and then discussed his words.
"It's really a tyrannical thing, there are ten types of kiln handles, right? Each style is to engrave the mountains and rivers and ten thousand souls, take the essence to remove the dross, it can be said to be pointing directly to the avenue, not to mention the horror of killing. For example, in this style, the chest is raised and the waist is lowered, the center of gravity of the body naturally falls between the two feet, and then the punch is rapid. It seems that the action is simple, but its strength is in the waist and legs and not in the hands, and it needs to twist the waist and sit on the hips, and the force should be loose; The fist comes out from the waist and ribs, and the heart of the fist goes up and forward, the whole arm is relaxed, and the force is not made, and the fist is about to be exhausted, and the fist is suddenly twisted, and the heart of the fist is sent down to the shoulder, and the whole body is tightly forced. If you practice deeply, you will have the power of a dragon elephant. Make the fist and the will, the will and the force, a punch out, the force is like a thousand catties, straight through the armor. "Li Qingshan was able to figure out such a way after just a few days of observation and stealing, and I have to say that his understanding is good, and he is really a genius.
"What General Li said is true, what you have practiced lacks is such strength. Now that you have joined the army, you should put away your scholarly spirit, kill on the battlefield, and you will die. Even Cui Mingtang, who had already had a first glimpse of the door, was amazed when he heard Li Qingshan's analysis and understanding, and secretly said in his heart that as Mr. Lou said, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky, this Li Qingshan's understanding and cultivation are far from being comparable to his current situation, and Brother Hanzhang has him by his side, and he has a little more chance to save his life.
Compared with the kiln style practiced by Cui Hanzhang, what is passed on in Cui Mingtang's clan is no different, but it is better than some intermittent pranayama skills to assist, so it can improve the combat power, but it is also more serious, if you don't practice well, it is very easy to hurt yourself, Mr. Lou was also inspired by Cui Mingtang to gradually try to repair, but he was helpless. Therefore, Cui Mingtang has not passed it on to Hanzhang, because he is afraid that he will not be able to practice and hurt himself.
Today, the three of them met in Jiatongguan, and Cui Mingtang did not hide his secrets, so he invited Li Qingshan to consult together, hoping to borrow the stones of other mountains to complete the pranayama know-how of the kiln style.
On the other side, Cui Yun took the Faun Doctor to Mingwei while using a golden needle to pull out the poison while fumigating and conducting qi. Although each time the effect is very small, but fortunately, the silk toxin is always removed, so that it will not worsen, the animal husbandry doctor knows in his heart that the rush of the past few days is still a great drain on Mingwei's body, so he increased the dosage in the medicine later.
Mingwei's spirit improved, she held Cui Yun's hand and said, "Although the shepherd doctor didn't say it, I know my situation, and it has worsened in the past few days." ”
"Sister, don't say it again, we are all here, and we must find good medicine at the ends of the earth to cure your cold poison." Cui Yun has been in a hurry for several days, and he has also been a little clear, and there is a solemnity between his eyebrows and eyes.
"Man, just don't be satisfied. Now that I see Cui Lang, I think that I can wear a wedding dress and marry once before I die. It's not in vain for my short life, do you say sister, am I greedy? "Mingwei has been in a trance a lot lately, but every time she sees Cui Hanzhang, her spirit will improve slightly.
In fact, in the eyes of the shepherd doctor, seeing Cui Hanzhang became Mingwei's talisman, this is not a improvement in his condition, it is clearly a burning heart, and he is just returning to the light.
"My sister will marry in a phoenix crown, this matter has been decided a long time ago. Lie down and rest first, and I'll go and get ready. ”
Cui Yun is a decisive woman, she thinks of it, she does it, so she comforts Mingwei to sleep, and then goes out to find Hanzhang Mingtang and others to plan to hold a wedding as soon as possible.
