Chapter 686: Gray and White Mountain Road
Last year, Cui Ying rushed from Xizhou to Jiangxia Wangfu to congratulate the princess on her birthday. What a beautiful and confident Li Mi was at that time www.biquge.info Li Mi also joked about the high trial line that was still the governor of the West at that time, and told Cui Ying that he was no different from the high trial line.
It's no different, when joking, Li Mi thinks that both Changshi once owned this woman, and now he wonders if he has ever owned her. It's only been a few months, and it's like this when the two come together again! The Gao Changshi he ridiculed became the history of the Qianzhou thorn, and Li Changshi sold mountain fruits.
One was still so noble, walking towards him step by step, not only was he not old, but even his voice seemed to be more delicate and soft than then. Is it a happy event for this to happen?
A man who was no longer beautiful, with a broken hat to cover his face, carrying a burden and selling fruits, was teased by a few village women in remote towns, and he didn't even dare to raise his head in front of her.
He doesn't know who to hate! Half a life and tried their best just for her, but the distance between the two people is getting farther and farther away.
Cui Shi asked again, "Big brother, how do you sell this plum?" Li Mi didn't hear it, and a village woman replied, "Mrs. Cui, it's two dollars and three catties," and then pushed Li Mi's shoulder, "You are so rude, Mrs. doesn't know how to answer your questions!" ”
Li Mi was suddenly startled back from his chaotic thoughts, and was busy reaching out to sort out the fruit burden to cover up, while "mmmmmm".
Cui Shi was not surprised by the fruit seller, but his outstretched hand also caught her attention. Seeing that this person was pushed by the village woman and tilted his body, he smiled and said to the village woman. "Sister-in-law doesn't blame him, it's nothing to hear or hear, and everyone is each other, there is no noble or low, and it's not a big deal if people don't answer."
Li Mi was even more sad when she heard this, how could there be no noble, she stood in front of her, and she only dared to look at her skirt from under the brim of her hat, and there was a bamboo blue at her feet. Listening to Cui Ying again, "It's really a good fruit, I don't know what it tastes like?" ”
Li Mi only replied with one word, "sour." ”
A few village women around him laughed again, but remembering Mrs. Cui's words, they endured it. Cui Shi felt that his "sour" word was full of affirmation and undoubtedness, and she smiled and said, "Then I bother you to weigh me five dollars." ”
Li Mi didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly went to the basket to pick the largest and best and put it on the scale, weighed a weighing pan, and forgot how many catties and taels it was, and then went to pick the second scale. When he picked it again for the third time, Cui Shi smiled and said softly, "You weigh too much!" ”
Li Mi was stunned, he couldn't calculate how many catties five cents should be, because his heart was very chaotic. Cui Shi smiled again, "Two Wen and three catties, five Wen should be seven and a half catties, the first two scales have already weighed more!" ”
As she spoke, she bent over and lifted the blue, and he only saw the side of Cui Ying's face for a moment, but his eyes suddenly became hazy, and everything outside the tears was distorted. She took a small piece of broken silver in her hand and handed it to him. Li Mi forgot to answer, he was afraid that if he moved, the tears that had already been filled would overflow.
A village woman laughed, "Are you slow to respond, or don't have the money to find it?" ”
Li Mi said "uh-huh" and listened to Cui Ying, "That's my fault!" He stretched his hand forward and said, "You take it first, you don't need to look for it, just ask you to come back and send some plums in a few days." ”
Li Mi hurriedly stretched out her hand, she put the small piece of silver in his palm, Li Mi hurriedly blinked his eyes vigorously, he wanted to take a closer look at these hands. Many years ago, it was these hands who raised a wine glass to drink with him at her home in Danfeng Town!
It wasn't until Cui Ying turned to leave, his hand still resting there, that he felt two tear stains on his cheeks snaking downward. When everyone dispersed, Li Mi carefully carried the small piece of broken silver into his closest arms, packed his burden and walked to Danfeng Town.
By the halfway point, it was already dark, and there were dark forests everywhere, except for the faint gray-white light of the mountain road underfoot. There was no one in front and back, Li Mi held it with one hand and pressed it on his left chest with the other, and the piece of broken silver that Cui Ying gave him pressed his heart. He carried his burden and wept loudly as he walked.
……
Turtle City. Su Fa already knew the fate of the Kipchak Wang, and he and his 1,000 men who had gone out of the city to attack had not returned since they had chased them into the Yanqi realm. This is a provocation! The Tang Dynasty is crusading against Goryeo in the east, how dare the west still come to provoke right and wrong, do you really think that Qiuci City is easy to provoke!
Su Fa analyzed and analyzed, there were not many Xizhou soldiers and horses stationed in Yanqi at all, but unconsciously, they had already eaten more than 2,000 people in Kangli City.
Prime Minister Nali's opinion is to stick to it, because what Nubiya said and killed with great momentum is the chief pastor of Tianshan Mu, Gao Jun, of course, this person can't be taken lightly.
Originally, the five cities of Qiuzi didn't need to care too much about these Xizhou soldiers, but instead of exerting influence from behind Xizhou, Futu City also mixed up with Xizhou, and Qiuzi didn't have any leverage at all. When lions and tigers compete, there is always a tragic ending for one side.
Nali analyzed that the other party came over because the son of the governor of Xizhou was injured, and it is unlikely that their military action this time was the order of Chang'an. So, how about they suffer a dumb loss? If you can't stick to it, maybe the other party will be angry and the matter will pass.
Su Fa said, let's take a look, if the surname Gao is not relenting, we will immediately cut off the Silk Road, and the caravans coming and going from east to west will not want to pass through Qiuzi again.
Immediately afterwards, another letter from Gao Jun came to the city, and the little leader who sent the letter to Su Fa muttered, "We can't shoot people at the top of the city, but people shoot arrows at once under the city." ”
In Gao Jun's letter, Su Dai did know about the death of Kipchak Wang, and he was expressionless, and he was still expressionless when he saw Gao Jun's ultimatum asking them to abandon Kangli City. The words of the little boss had to be considered, and the mysterious ballista that Nubia said had to be considered, but he couldn't swallow this breath, could it be that Gao Jun dared to be so presumptuous based on these two things alone?
He calmly said to Nali, "The Silk Road has been blocked, and 2,000 troops from each city have been sent to Kangli City to defend it, but I want to see who can't bear it first!" Those people in Chang'an have not been able to see goods from the Western Regions for two months, and perhaps the war will turn in our favor. ”
Nari asked, "What about Nubia?" She could have pretended to be scattered by the Kipchak people in the middle of the night, but could she go back and stir up some trouble from the people in Futu City? I heard her say that the young city lord of Futu City, Pheasant Lin, is a straw bag, and it seems that there are some old grudges between him and Gao Jun......"
It's not that Su Fa hasn't thought of this method, it's just that he has been a hero for half his life, and he doesn't know if he has used this method more or less, and how those subordinates in Kangli City will see him. "It's been a long time, I'm afraid it won't work, it will cause people to be suspicious." He only said this sentence and then vetoed. When he was in a hurry, he would rather formally meet the chief pastor and fight him in front of the two armies.
Someone quickly ran in to report, "King, there are 2,000 pioneers in Xizhou, and they have set up camp twenty miles away from Kangli City!" The leader of the troops is Ashina Sheer, the head general of Futu City! ”
