Chapter 25: Grievances in the Rivers and Lakes (2)
Qingzhou Prefecture calendar in mid-August
Chang Long, the commander of Chang'an Mansion, personally led 50,000 elite Chen soldiers to Luoyang City.
From this point on, a storm began to surge, and the two largest forces in the world today began their first head-to-head game, and all parties in the rivers and lakes began to act for various purposes......
Beifeng followed Li Ji and rushed to Luoyang after Qingfeng.
Weiyang Inn
"Yo, isn't this a regular customer, please please." It's still that little two, and when he saw the oncoming north wind, he was very enthusiastic.
"Ah, yes, it's back." Beifeng thought to himself, he went around and around to Luoyang again, this time the matter is over, and he has to hurry up and go to Qingzhou Mansion.
"I said Gongzi, why do you dare to come to Luoyang, haven't you seen the battle outside the city?" Xiao Er said as he walked inside.
"Why don't you dare?" Li Ji scrambled to speak.
"Yes, yes, a few of them are capable, if they were ordinary people, they would have avoided it a long time ago, and a few of you have also seen it, there is not even a figure on the street, and those who can run have run, and there are only those who can't run." Xiao Er shook his head and sighed.
"Why don't you run?" Beifeng suddenly became suspicious, stopped, and looked at the inn suspiciously. It's not the same as usual, it's just not as lively as before, the storyteller is still there, and there are only a few guests.
"That year, Mr. Empty City retreated from thousands of troops......"
The storyteller is very engaged.
Beifeng and Li Ji chose a table and sat down.
The north wind turned to look at the storyteller.
"What, like to listen to books?" Li Ji looked at the north wind and quipped.
Beifeng shook his head slowly, "I always feel that something is weird." ”
Li Ji paused for a moment and began to become alert.
"No, I mean this storyteller." Beifeng saw that Li Ji overreacted and explained.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Li Ji looked at the storyteller.
"I think I've seen it somewhere...... Forget it. Beifeng always felt familiar, but after thinking about it, it might be that he was suspicious.
"Also, don't be too nervous, although the army outside the city is now pressing, but I bet that Luoyang will be fine." Li Ji smiled, relaxed the sword in his hand, and rested on the side of the stool.
"You are always a prophet of uncertainty, so can you tell me who I am?" Beifeng blinked, took a sip of tea, and seemed to smile rather than smile.
"Look at you, Brother Yan......" Li Ji was stunned for a moment.
The north wind stared at him closely.
"That's it, Brother Yan grew up in the Queen Mother's Palace since he was a child, didn't he think about his parents?" Li Ji was helpless, so he thought about it, and said it.
He Zeng had no doubts...... I once asked about the palace master, but the palace master never said anything, but suddenly he was deep and told me that he would know one day. When the north wind talked about the past, he suddenly became low.
"Actually, what I know is that you have an inextricable relationship with Qingzhou Mansion, and I don't know anything else, which is why the master of the Flower Mirror Palace entrusted me to take care of you......" Li Ji blurted out, but as soon as the words came out, he choked.
"What ??!" The north wind slapped the table, full of surprise.
…… Li Ji knew that he was speechless, but there was no way, since he had said everything, he had to tell him.
"The master of the Mirror Palace arranged for me to secretly protect you until you arrived in Qingzhou safely before the Queen Mother Palace was broken, the reason why I didn't let you tell you was just to experience and train you, I grew up in the Queen Mother Palace since I was a child, I don't know the world, I'm afraid that you will have an accident, the Lord of the Mirror Palace is really well-intentioned." Li Ji said frankly.
"It's... That's right...... The palace master ...... "Beifeng leaned on the stool, looked at the ceiling, muttered to himself, and his eyes became hollow.
"I don't know what your relationship with Qingzhou is, but the master of the Mirror Palace said that when you arrive in Qingzhou, someone will tell you everything." Li Ji quietly watched the north wind.
"I ...... ...... Qingzhou? "The north wind has swirled, and it's all going to be there.
"I guess......" Li Ji stopped, looked at Beifeng's emotions, and wondered if he would say his speculation.
"What?" The north wind asked instantly.
"Hmm...... Forget it, I can't say it either. Li Ji lowered his head and drank tea silently. Beifeng blinked, not understanding what he meant, but at this time his thoughts were a little confused.
"I'm going up and resting." Beifeng got up, he wanted to be alone and quiet, to be quiet.
"Go ahead, oh yes, I'll go out later." Li Ji said to the north wind who was going upstairs.
"Where?"
"Luoyang Mansion."
It's afternoon
Li Ji walked on the empty Luoyang Street, and he sighed with emotion in his heart, how familiar this place is.
Walking around the corner, he looked up and was suddenly stunned.
Towering Forbidden City, Sensen Imperial City
He didn't know why he had walked and walked to get here.
Looking at it, at the gate of the palace, there is a feather forest on duty, and on the side, there is a general, wearing armor and standing solemnly, which makes Li Ji's eyes light up, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then looked at it.
Gao Xian at the gate of the palace quickly noticed the strange Li Ji. He turned to look at him.
Li Ji felt the majestic gaze, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly paused and laughed at himself. Turn around and leave.
"Brother Ji, I haven't seen you for a long time." Gao Xian took a few steps forward and said gloomily.
"Ah, yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you've become the general of Yulinwei." Li Ji stopped, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head.
"You're still the same, at ease." Gao Xian smiled bitterly.
"Huh...... Getaway? Hahaha......" Li Ji shook his head helplessly, laughing without saying a word.
"On this trip to Luoyang, I think something big is going to happen." Gao Xian suddenly frowned.
Li Ji's eyes suddenly flashed, staring at Gao Xian.
Gao Xian smiled mysteriously.
"Yuan Dao, is he okay?" Li Ji recalled the days when the three of them mixed in Yangzhou City, at that time, how could there be so much sorrow, singing every day, thinking about it, it seems that the past is very far away, but it is only a hurried year.
"Well, he's okay... Ever since the White Maiden disappeared... said that he had traveled all over the world, and he wanted to find her, and he wandered the rivers and lakes, and I don't know where he is now and how he is doing. Gao Xian was a little inexplicably sad, remembering the original separation......
East of the Imperial City Avenue, outside the Forbidden City
"Brother, once you go, I don't know when you will return, this last glory will be entrusted to you to shelter from the wind and rain......" Yuan Dao said in a low voice.
"If I ...... I can't bear it. Gao Xian looked up at Yuan Dao on horseback and asked.
Yuan Dao was stunned.
When saying goodbye, the saddest color is the blood of the remnant sun in the distant sky, and the most sorrowful voice is the cherished voice of a confidant.
“…… You see, the sun sets, and tomorrow, it will rise, won't it? Yuan Dao suddenly pointed to the sky and said.
Gao Xian looked at it, the clouds were flying, reflecting the Forbidden City.
"All the way...... Take care. Gao Xian patted the horse's back.
"There will be a date later." Yuan Dao slowly rode away and disappeared on Luoyang Avenue.
……
"To ...... Going for a drink? Li Ji asked tentatively.
"Oh...... No, military affairs are in the body, and I dare not slack off. Gao Xian woke up from his memories and solemnly refused.
"Oh...... Also, General. Li Ji nodded.
"Well, well." Gao Xian arched his hand.
"Thank you, we'll see you later." Li Ji laughed and strode towards Luoyang Mansion.
Gao Xian looked at the back in the distance, and his chest ached.
The sun is like fire.
Gao Xian turned around and returned to the palace gate, looking up at the sky, the high walls towering.
"Perhaps, today's sunset has died in the arms of the moon, and Guanghan's loneliness and grievances may be tomorrow's sunrise as new."
