Chapter 156: Between Separation and Merger

Teasing Wu Shuang'er, Liu Xi hurriedly slipped out, the little girl's face was not bad, he was also relieved, as for breakfast and the like, Liu Xi was not in the mood to enjoy it at the moment, and only thought about checking the current situation in the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was a thick layer of snow on the school field, and his feet stepped on it, leaving a creaking sound and a row of shallow footprints, which made Liu Xi can't help but say that the cold night does not know the wind and snow.

As he was walking, Liu Xi heard a crisp sound in his ears, and then the clear and soft sound of the piano rippled around, as if the sound of heaven fell from the sky, dissipating the biting coldness.

Wait for a song, Liu Xi clapped his hands without hesitation, "This song is really in heaven, how many times can I listen to it in the world." ”

As he spoke, Ming Miao floated down from the high platform of the school yard with the piano in his arms, his white clothes sparkling, like a piece of snow blown down by the cold wind on the eaves.

Seeing Ming Miao, Liu Xi was not surprised at all, but the other party's temperament that had endured all night came to him at this time, and those who can become peerless masters all have a heart that ordinary people do not have.

For this famous Miao who is a similar age but a leader, Liu Xi will not feel disgusted because he is a Confucian disciple who assists Liu Si.

After all, there are many things that are difficult to choose, not to mention that the other party has also helped him when he is in danger.

"Thank you."

Smiling and clenching his fists, Liu Xi said softly.

Ming Miao's slender fingers brushed away a few pieces of falling snow on the strings, and his eyes looked at the thick clouds dyed red by the morning light in the distance, and he was silent for a moment before he spoke, "Why thank me?" ”

"For this wonderful sound."

Hearing this, Ming Miao's eyebrows raised slightly, "You also know the piano?" ”

For a music master like Ming Miao, 'understanding the qin' naturally does not mean that he can understand a few tunes, but a short sentence expresses the loneliness of the master that no one knows.

"I know a little bit about it, but compared to my famous brother, it pales in comparison."

It's not that Liu Xi is humble, he is really not proficient in music, after all, the seven-tone score has been ingrained in his brain for a long time, so it is difficult to accept the five-string sound again.

The secret Liu Xi has not told anyone, including Liu Han, so the latter is puzzled, why he can play with Liu Xi's calligraphy and painting, but this qin sound is difficult to become everyone.

It's just that Liu Xi's sentence changed in his ears, and he grinned and laughed self-deprecatingly, "I forgot, you are a soldier of the army, how can you not understand this." ”

Since Ming Miao said this, Liu Xi didn't want to explain anymore, and if he said more, he would only seem more and more hypocritical, so he smiled and led the words elsewhere, "Brother Ming, are you waiting here, or is it for yesterday's events?" ”

"Yes."

Ming Miao answered, his eyes were also retracted from the sky, and he looked back and forth on Liu Xi, as if he wanted to take a closer look at him.

Regarding Ming Miao's move, Liu Xi grinned, stretched his waist and walked forward, "It's been so long, it's finally sunny this day, but Yaxing is going out for a walk with me?" ”

As he spoke, Liu Xi walked out, and Ming Miao behind him hesitated for a moment, holding the qin and following closely behind.

In Yangqu City, everything is in ruins, many houses have been destroyed in the war, of course, most of them have turned into bricks and stones to defend the city, and at this moment they are mixed with blood and water, lying alone outside the city.

"Brother, you say, why do you say there is chaos and fighting in this world? It was a quiet and peaceful place, but it was devastated by the unprovoked war, and the people were struggling to make a living. ”

Hearing this, Ming Miao looked at Liu Xi again, and it was obvious that Ming Miao didn't understand why he opened his mouth like this, whether it was touching the scene or talking about it. But as the most outstanding disciple of Confucianism, he always has the elegance that matches his heart, so even if he has it in his heart, Ming Miao still responded, "The major events in the world must be divided for a long time, and they must be divided for a long time. ”

"Famous brother and talent, a word to break the mystery, the trend of division and integration is the way of long-term change, tracing back to the source, after Pangu's axe cut the world, whether this is the division of the world, or the way of heaven and earth, these, I am afraid that you and I can't figure it out."

Turning around, Liu Xi saw that Ming Miao's hand stroking the body of the piano stopped, his brows were tightly locked, and his face was full of bitter thoughts.

Sure enough, it is the dragon and phoenix among people, I am afraid that he has already thought about it, and perhaps with his intelligence, he will soon be able to understand that the martial arts of the world actually originate from the same vein.

For so many years, the various factions have just blindly worked their respective exercises, but they have never stepped beyond the thunder pool and integrated the world's martial arts together.

In fact, all things are the same, since they are originally together, and they seek unity by dividing, where will it work?

It's just that these simple and clear words sometimes take a lifetime to learn, and he, Liu Xi, just accidentally touched the threshold.

No longer bothering Ming Miao, Liu Xi left quietly, until now, he couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and he didn't understand whether he should befriend Ming Miao or not.

The other party is a Confucian elite whose strength is far above him, if he wants revenge one day, why doesn't he fight with Confucianism as Liu Han's supporter?

The more he thought about it, he only felt that his thoughts were more and more chaotic, and after walking a hundred steps, Liu Xi shook his head vigorously, and looked back at Ming Miao, who was standing in the distance.

The north wind is howling, and the white clothes are fluttering.

At this time, Liu Xi's mind suddenly flashed a sentence that Liu Han once said, in every generation, there will always be a few people who are born to practice, have no desire for hustle and bustle, and only seek the realm of mountains and rivers in their hearts.

Perhaps Ming Miao is such an existence.

The red sun, which had been brewing for a long time, finally broke through the layers of thick clouds and jumped out, sprinkling heart-warming golden brilliance in the cold wind, and there were more and more soldiers on the streets, shuttling back and forth in this small city, making the otherwise empty Yangqu City quite crowded.

"Lord-sama!"

Liu Xi was walking, and a column of soldiers and horses came out in front of him, the leader had a resolute face, and when he saw him dismounting, he hugged his fists and saluted, "Cao Zheng, the captain of the Handu Lieutenant of Xiaguan, has seen Lord Qincha." ”

After breaking the enemy yesterday, the generals of several state cities also met with Liu Xi, and Liu Xi was very grateful from the bottom of his heart for these generals who came to the rescue.

Liu Xi supported the comer with both hands, "General Cao doesn't need to be polite. ”

"Lord Qincha, don't hide it, the subordinates are on the orders of the general to say goodbye to the adults, now the Huns have been broken, the northern Xinjiang is stable and worry-free, my general plans to lead the troops back to the city, after all, tomorrow is the beginning of the year, the sons and daughters have worked hard for a year, and they should go back to have a small reunion with their families for a while."

Tomorrow is the beginning of the year, Liu Xi almost forgot.

"General Cao is right, the enemy has retreated, and it is the beginning of the New Year, all the soldiers have worked tirelessly to defend the territory for the imperial court, and it is time for everyone to go back and rest. General Cao, please lead the way, and I'll go to see you General Tong for a ride. ”

Saying that, Liu Xi rode on the black horse given up by Cao Zheng's guards, and fought with Cao Zheng and his party to go straight to the outside of the city.

At this moment, the army outside the city is cleaning up the wall, and it can't help but be the soldiers of Seoul, even the closer Xiapi City is also tidying up the camp.

When Liu Xi came, the generals of several cities were saying goodbye, these cities were close to each other, and when the Huns came to attack, they often rescued each other, so they were also old acquaintances.

Thinking that it was a heavy blow to the Huns and the fulfillment of a wish that could not be completed for many years, several generals who led the troops looked quite happy, and their eyebrows were full of elation.

"Your Excellency."

Seeing Liu Xi's arrival, Wu Quan's father and son took the lead in saluting, and if they observed carefully, they could even feel the deep gratitude in their eyes.

"I've seen Chincha-sama."

The rest of the soldiers also clasped their fists and saluted Liu Xi.

"The generals can't do it, hurry up and excuse yourself."

Liu Xi hurriedly stepped forward, made a false salute with both hands, and exempted many soldiers from salutation, the generals in front of him are all those who have galloped on the battlefield for many years, and have great military exploits, and now they salute him, but they respect Liu Xi alone in Yangqu City to block the 200,000 Xiongnu army, after all, such feats are not very human. And he, Liu Xi, naturally can't pick up the shelf with this respect, if it weren't for these soldiers, where would there be Yangqu City for the rest of his life after the catastrophe at this moment?

"My lord, now that the Huns have retreated, the last general will lead the army back to the city, if you continue to stay here, you will be hungry!"

The person who spoke was with a big waist and a round waist, wearing fish scale armor, and a beard on his face, who was Tong Jin, the guard of Hanzhou.

As soon as Xu Jin said this, the rest of the people laughed, they were so anxious about their respective cities, firstly, because the new year was approaching, but in fact, it was more because the huge number of soldiers stationed in Yangqu City, which had become a ruin, was indeed hungry.

Liu Xi smiled a little embarrassedly, "Today's Yangqu is too shabby, and when he meets the generals again in the future, I hope that he will be treated with good wine and food, and he will have to get drunk before resting." ”

"Okay, it's a good drunk, and I'm looking forward to that day."

As he spoke, several generals said goodbye to Liu Xi one after another, and after a while, the densely packed army outside the city moved in unison, heading towards the surroundings like a stream of water.

Standing in place, watching the army leave, Liu Xi's thoughts were a little trance-like, it was just a one-day scene, life and death were twofold, and creation really made people.

"Childe, look!"

Behind him, Qu Lang chased after the horse, just grabbed the reins and wanted to jump off the horse, but suddenly shouted, Liu Xi looked at his fingers, only to see that the departing army scattered a road, and at the other end of the road, thousands of ragged figures were trotting over.

Those were the people who had left Yangqu City.
