Chapter 361: Dongting Lake 1
At this moment, in the distant Dongting Lake, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, a beautiful scene.
In ancient times, Dongting Lake was much bigger than now, especially in the Song Dynasty, Dongting Lake expanded to the west, and the history called "Dongting Lake swallows red sand in the west, connects green grass in the south, and stretches seven or eight hundred miles", and the area is several times that of now! The entire Dongting Lake is vast, spanning more than ten state capitals! Dongting Lake is rich in products, but the life of the people here is extremely difficult. They rebelled at the beginning, on the one hand, because of the White Lotus Sect's demagogy, but mainly because they couldn't live anymore.
Dongting Lake Jun Mountain is famous all over the world, but this Jun Mountain is now the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect.
There are tens of thousands of rebels on Junshan, countless rebels on other islands of Dongting Lake, and there are also rebels around Dongting Lake, and these people add up to more than 500,000! And the White Lotus Sect is known as a million army to the outside world! Of course, half of this so-called "army of millions" are old and weak, women and children, and the remaining half are young and middle-aged, but they are also weak because of hunger, and they have no combat experience! When Liu Guangshi encircled and suppressed Dongting Lake, these rebellious people just swarmed up, they did not have a "military system" at all, at most a leader led a group of minions, and they did not have much strategy to fight.
To the east of Junshan, it is relatively quiet, with a forest by the lake and a few bamboo huts at the edge of the forest.
The moon is bright and there are no lights in the bamboo house, but the surroundings are clear.
In a bamboo house, a woman dressed in white is standing in front of the window, quietly looking at the scenery outside.
"The ten-mile long pavilion is full of frost, how old is the green silk and white hair? There is no regret in this life, and there is a fate in the next life. ”
The girl in white groaned softly, with a hint of melancholy in her voice, she let out a long sigh, turned around, and returned to the room.
There was a small table in the room, and there was a piano on it, and she sat down and played it gently.
The sound of clanging came from her room, and gradually became a tune, which also carried a sense of worry, and it stopped for a long time.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
"Come in." The girl said lightly.
I saw an extremely handsome young man enter the room, with a smile on his face.
"Senior sister, are you playing the piano?" Youth Road.
The girl just nodded.
"I just came back from Yueyang today! Guess who I met in Yueyang Mansion? The youth said.
The girl paid no attention to the young man and said nothing.
Seeing the girl's appearance, the young man was a little embarrassed, and said, "I met Wang Boyan, the prefect of Yueyang!" Wang Boyan has already agreed to take refuge in us! ”
The girl's face showed a surprised expression, and she said, "Oh? ”
The young man smiled: "Now that we have occupied the eight hundred miles of Dongting Lake, if we can occupy Yueyang, this Yueyang can become our capital!" At that time, we will be even more powerful, and the heroes of the world will come to us! In addition, we have already made contact with the rebels of Lianghuai! They have promised to join us! In this way, we echo the north and the south, and it is no longer a problem to get Jiangnan! After we get Jiangnan, we will unite with the Jurchens to completely occupy the Great Song Dynasty and realize the prosperity of the White Lotus. ”
After the young man finished speaking, the expression on the girl's face had already returned to flatness, and she just nodded slightly.
"Senior sister, are you in a bad mood?" Youth Road.
The girl didn't say a word.
"Senior sister, are you still worried about the past? The old man of the Demon Queen has already said that the reason why you wanted to save that dog emperor in the first place was mainly because you had used the Seven Star Begonia to harm him before, so you felt guilty in your heart, so you went to save him! Rest assured, we won't blame you! Neither I nor the master will blame you! The young man felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward and hurriedly said.
The expression on the girl's face was still flat, as if she hadn't heard what the young man was saying.
Looking at the beautiful face of the girl, just like the characters in the painting, the young man was both in love and awe, his face showed a look of struggle and hesitation, and after a while, he finally spoke again, and said: "Senior sister, I have asked the master to go to the old man of the Demon Queen, and let the master beg the old man of the Demon Queen and her old man, so that she can agree to the marriage of the two of us." ”
The girl said, "What did you say?" ”
The young man had already gotten out at this moment, and said, "The master said that the old man of the demon queen has already agreed!" ”
The girl was silent for a while, and said, "I'm going to sleep, if there is nothing else, you can leave." ”
The young man gritted his teeth, he felt very uncomfortable with the girl's attitude. After a few moments, he nodded and left the bamboo hut.
The sound of the piano came from the bamboo house again, but this time with an indescribable annoyance.
The picturesque-looking girl is naturally Song Qingyao!
She felt irritable and couldn't sleep!
After playing the piano for a while, the strings broke, so she simply sat down on the bed, closed her eyes gently, and meditated.
It's just that tonight, even if I'm meditating, it's hard to be still.
Not long after, she opened her eyes again, she looked at the head of the bed, there was a sword at the head of the bed, it was the world's famous Chunjun sword.
She gently took the sword in her hand, and then slowly held it in her arms.
For a long time, she burst into tears. She felt extremely aggrieved in her heart, and she even regretted her decision a little.
But after a moment, she exhaled softly, and there was a hint of determination in her eyes.
"Why regret it? As long as it's something I've done, I don't regret it! ”
She said secretly.
She looked at the bright moon outside the window, and it took a long time for her heart to calm down, and then she lay down and fell asleep.
******
The next morning, when it was just getting light, she got up.
She made herself a pot of hot tea and prepared some snacks for breakfast.
In the morning, she reads a book in the bamboo hut.
What she looks at are some medical skills, including Shennong's Baicao Sutra, the Yellow Emperor's Neijing and other well-known medical skills.
She looked very carefully, and sometimes she was still pondering.
After lunch, she played chess with a few younger sisters.
At night, she meditates silently in her room.
In the middle of the moon, she was about to fall asleep again, when there was another knock on the door outside.
The sound of knocking on the door was three short and one long, Song Qingyao got off the bed and opened the door herself, only to see the demon queen standing in front of her.
"Master!" Song Qingyao said softly.
"I have something important to say to you." The Demon Queen.
Song Qingyao nodded slightly, and the two came in together and sat down on the edge of the bed together.
"Zhong Xiang came to me two days ago, he came for his apprentice Yang Mo! Yang Mo proposed to you, and I have already agreed. "The Demon Queen said.
Song Qingyao looked to the side, silent on her face.
"Ah Yao, since coming to Dongting Lake, Zhong Xiang's strength has increased greatly! Although the teacher is still the sect leader of the White Lotus Sect on the surface, it is already difficult to restrain Zhong Xiang, on the contrary, our master and apprentice still have to listen to him! Zhong Xiang is ambitious, he doesn't want to establish the White Lotus Prosperous Era, he wants to be the emperor himself! However, after he became the emperor, he naturally would not treat our White Lotus Sect badly, after all, he was an elder of the White Lotus Sect! When the time comes, our White Lotus Sect will also be the state religion! Zhong Xiang has no son, only one apprentice, Yang Mo! This Yang Mo can be regarded as a talent, I think he really likes you, after you marry Yang Mo, he will not treat you badly, and he can also ensure that he will not betray the White Lotus Sect in the future, so he agreed as a teacher. Song Qingyao said.
"I'm not going to marry him." Song Qingyao said.
"Why?" The Demon Queen frowned.
"No, I just don't want to marry him." Song Qingyao said.
As she spoke, she suddenly felt a little stuffy in her chest, a little dry and itchy in her throat, and hurriedly covered her mouth at the moment, feeling like she was going to vomit.
The demon queen was taken aback and said, "What's the matter?" ”
After a while, Song Qingyao recovered, her face was a little pale, and she shook her head and said, "Nothing." ”
The demon queen said: "I'll check your body to see if something went wrong with your practice." ”
Song Qingyao said: "It may be that I got stuck eating today, so I feel a little uncomfortable, and I don't bother the master." ”
Her face was indifferent, if it weren't for the paleness, she wouldn't have been uncomfortable before, and the demon queen looked at her with some doubts, secretly wondering if there was something wrong with the disciple's body. Song Qingyao has been stubborn since she was a child, and the demon queen did not forcibly check Song Qingyao's body.
The two talked for a while, Song Qingyao was a little absent-minded, and the demon queen left immediately, but she was still confused in her heart. She felt that her apprentice was in a bad mood today, and she was going to persuade Song Qingyao in two days. No matter what, she must promote the matter of Song Qingyao and Yang Mo.
After the demon queen left, Song Qingyao sat cross-legged on the bed alone, with a look of worry on her face.
After a long while, she lay down, just tossing and turning, still unable to sleep.
In the middle of the night, she fell asleep in a daze.
