Volume 2: Ten Years of Life and Death [28] Kite Flying
Hope for a quick solution.
As time turned, the New Year was coming to an end. Shen Liangchen looked at Yi Lunhuan replying to his belated letter, and was slightly stunned.
Since the founding of the Northern Heavenly Searing State, all wars involving the Southern Barbarians have been fierce battles and bitter battles. How could he say a quick decision, and then take it lightly.
Ben has always been worried about Yi Lunhuan's condition, but at this time, he was swept away by the sullenness and incomprehension in his heart. Shen Liangchen only felt that the qi in his chest was swollen, as if there was a thousand catties of giant tripods pressing on his internal organs. There is another slight annoyance entrenched in his heart - Yi Lun Hwan, why can't he understand himself.
They are the best brothers.
How could he not understand his predicament of food and grass?
At that time, Shen Liangchen didn't understand, if he trusted someone too much, he would hang his life under that so-called trust.
Throwing the reply letter in his hand aside, Shen Liangchen slowly rubbed his frowning brow with the index finger and thumb of his right hand. Suddenly, he remembered that Chu Changting had not read the letter he had written to himself, so he quickly threw aside all the distress in front of him and happily read the letter that Chu Changting wrote to him.
The feelings are lingering, lingering, and every word seems to be written on the tip of Shen Liangchen's heart. He smiled and kissed the letterhead that was still stained with the residual warmth of the northern winter, and then took out the half of the wooden comb that Chu Changting had given him from his chest. The pain of the day of separation is still vivid, and he will affectionately put his face on the wooden comb, and the tips of his hands tremble slightly, for fear that if he is not careful, he will break the wooden comb full of love and righteousness.
Changting, when I return, I will not let you suffer a little more.
Just as Shen Liangchen lowered his head and thought about Chu Changting, a small soldier hurriedly ran in and said, "Report to the general!" Nan Yaoyue's army suddenly pressed up, and it became a siege! β
When Shen Liangchen heard this, his anger flared up, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out. He carefully put away the letter and the wooden comb, got up and put on his armor, the dark red cloak was raised high by the wind he carried vigorously, and an awe-inspiring aura rose in his murderous starry eyes, and he lowered his voice as he walked and said fiercely: "Moths to the fire, self-defeating. β
It's another month of tug-of-war, and the North Tianzhuo and the South Yaoyue Dou are inseparable.
Since Yi Lunhuan ascended the throne, five of the eight surrounding countries have been submitted, and among the remaining three countries, Dunan Yaoyue is the most powerful and the most difficult.
Shen Liangchen's first year as a deputy general was fifteen years old. At that time, he followed General Huwei at that time to fight in the Southern Barbarians, and he was gone for three years. In the past three years, he has been brave and strategic, and he has smoothly turned the Liutao martial arts he read when he was a child into a sharp blade in his hand, and under the crumbling danger of the Beitianzhuo royal family, he still worked step by step, and methodically helped Beitianzhuo win the victory of one war after another.
When I went to be young, freshly dressed and angry; When he returned, he made great achievements in the war and shook the universe, and went all the way north to smash Fengzhao, helping the chaotic imperial city to change its course.
On the night he returned from Nan Yaoyue, Yi Lunhuan ascended the throne, and Shen Liangchen was promoted to a general.
Shen Liangchen will never forget that on the eve of his return, as soon as the army arrived in Wuhe City, someone hurriedly sent a letter to General Huwei, saying that there was a great change in the palace, the first emperor collapsed, and the kings were fighting.
Shen Liangchen will never forget that on the night he returned, he was covered in blood, carrying the head of General Huwei and holding a tiger talisman in his hand, killing all the way from Xuanhe Gate to Fenghua Long Street, stepping on the mountains of corpses piled up outside the main hall gate, and walking step by step to the blood-soaked Sun and Moon Palace.
He saw Yi Lunwan's face covered in blood, sitting on the steps under the dragon chair, surrounded by the already cold corpses of the three kings and the remnants of the bladed knives. The cold moonlight sprinkled on Yi Lunwan's blood-stained white robe, and fine dust floated in the breezy night.
He sat quietly like that, like a fairy out of the dust, and the drifting moonlight froze on him, clear and cold, alone. After feeling someone approaching, he suddenly raised his head, and with an awe-inspiring aura, he swung the broken knife that had been curled in his right hand, but after seeing Shen Liangchen's face, his body went limp, threw down the residual knife, and leaned heavily on Shen Liangchen's shoulder.
Shen Liangchen will never forget that the moment Yi Lunhuan saw him, there were tears in his eyes.
It was the longest and longest night they had ever had.
When it's warm and cold, it's the hardest to breathe.
In mid-February, the vernal equinox. The first electricity, the yuan bird to, and the thunder sounded.
The spring is cold. A spring rain shattered Feng Zhao's seemingly innocent warmth and knocked off a complex petal. The sweet and soft fragrance of plum blossoms in the air gradually thinned and softened, while the fragrance of grass buds brought by the damp soil permeated the rain and misty Fengzhao, filling every brick, tile, pavilion and pavilion.
The spring equinox, yin and yang are half, day and night are even, and the cold and heat are flat, which is the most sleepless season.
Chu Changting woke up from the wet pillow, and in a moment, there was a white and cold silence.
She had nightmares again. In the dream, Shen Liangchen's ten thousand arrows pierced his heart, and he fell under the arrows covered in blood, and his once radiant eyes were full of despair, unwillingness and sourness at the moment, and the tears were like the rain that had been suppressed in the nine days of the whole autumn and winter finally poured, and the thunder rolled and burst the embankment.
Shen Liangchen was crying. The body trembled, and I didn't know if it was because of the sorrow in my heart or the pain of flesh and blood. When he was dying, the dry and withered lips were still moving up and down vigorously, as if he was trying his best to call out the name with the last trace of angerβ
"Long Pavilion ......"
Nightmares, endless nightmares. A fire burned down the Chu Mansion, the heat wave rolled, and the flames soared into the sky. In an instant, a scorched earth was covered in ashes. She heard someone calling for her, but in her dream her eyes and ears were squeezed like bursting, and she floated in a half-dreaming nothingness, not knowing who it was.
"Live well."
Nightmares day by day. Pan Huan is not going.
Chu Changting struggled to withdraw from the dream, but everything in the dream was so real, the heart-rending pain, the kind of blood drenched in front of her eyes, pressed on her heart, as if she was going to be devoured alive and swallowed forever in that nothingness.
"Miss! Miss! As soon as Xun'er entered the door, she saw that Chu Changting had fallen under the bed, she hurriedly stepped forward to help, Chu Changting came to her senses, she slowly straightened up and sat on the bed, her little face was pale.
"Miss, are you alright?" Xun'er asked distressedly, but seeing that Chu Changting didn't react, he wanted to say something interesting to make her happy, "Miss, it's the spring equinox today." The old man and his subordinates tied kites for you and the young master early in the morning, and the kitchen boiled bird's nest stewed with rock sugar and abalone longan wheat soup, just waiting for you to get up and taste it. β
Chu Changting slowly came to her senses, she said softly, and then got up and sat in front of the bronze mirror. After dressing up, Xun'er held a delicate tray with the flowers she had chosen early in the morning, and said with a smile: "Miss choose one, today is the spring equinox, and I want hairpins." β
Chu Changting still felt a little uneasy, she absentmindedly picked a plain peach blossom, and then simply put it on the hairpin, and said, "The rest of you and plum makeup should be picked up separately." β
"Okay." Xun'er saw that Chu Changting was still not interested, so he went out to find Mei makeup stupidly. Chu Changting sat stunned for a while, then changed his clothes and got up to go out, and after simply filling his stomach, he ran out of the door with a kite.
On the Leyou Plain, colorful women and children gathered together to fly kites, Chu Changting asked Xun'er to take Chu Nanpu to fly kites, Mei Xiang stood in the distance and followed her, and he found a remote pavilion alone, sat on the stone bench, and quietly wrote his wishes on the kite with a pen.
She was writing earnestly when suddenly a dark shadow came up. She was startled, and looked up with some confusion, only to see a masked man standing in front of her, clear and tall but a little thin, revealing a pair of phoenix eyes full of tranquil gentleness. The warm spring sun fell on him tamely, and the white ink hair stretched gently and slowly in the breeze, and at a glance, he felt that this person's popularity was extraordinary, like a warm jade, like a proud bamboo.
"Did the girl come out and fly a kite alone?" The man spoke slowly, his voice was deep and warm, low and deep, like a leisurely and gentle bamboo forest, like a broken jade bathing in a mountain spring, like a ...... It seems to be an old acquaintance.
Before Chu Changting could respond, the man spoke again: "The girl's hairpin today is elegant and tranquil, but it has lost a bit of brightness and liveliness, which is a little overshadowed by the girl's red face." But the girl is still very beautiful when she wears it. I always thought that flowers lined people, but when I saw the girl today, I realized that people can also line flowers. β
The gentle and powerful voice, as clean as the gurgling mountain spring in the mountains, fell from the cliff, and the cool and comfortable water droplets with a slight savage power smashed into Chu Changting's chest, and the light and shadow flew in the scorching sun, and the brilliance was brilliant.
Childe laughed. Like a spring thunder suddenly rolled into the sky, Chu Changting's heart jumped suddenly, and the familiarity of the jade man in front of her made her dare not think deeply about who he was, she continued to bow her head and write her prayers to hide her panic.
The man saw that Chu Changting was a little dodgy, and his eyes dimmed slightly, but as if he expected it, he was not discouraged, he just looked down at the small words that Chu Changting carefully wrote on the kite, and said again: "It is really a mistake to disturb the girl." It's just that today I miss my old friend a lot, but because I don't have a pair of paper kites to support my feelings, I don't know if the girl can appreciate the light, so I pray with the girl on this kite. β
Chu Changting pouted, and wanted to inform him that there were small merchants selling kites not far away, but when he raised his head, he bumped into his eyes. The curved and long phoenix eyes were full of tenderness, and the tenderness in the eyes was full of tenderness, and the water was sparkling, which made Chu Changting lose his voice for a while.
No, it won't be him. On such an important day as the spring equinox today, how could he appear in such a market out of thin air.
Chu Changting shook his head, held his spirit, and comforted himself.
"If that's the case, then ...... Let's write together. Chu Changting handed the pen to the man, then lowered his head and looked to the side, not daring to look at him again.
The man just smiled gently, and was not annoyed by Chu Changting's slight vision, he took the pen, lowered his head and wrote fluently, the end of the pen was flowing and the grass was done in one go.
After writing, he gently put the pen on the stone table, looked at Chu Changting with a smile, and said gently: "Let's go, let's go kite flying together." β
