Chapter 24 Willing to Overcome the Wind 3

Late autumn, late autumn is here.

In October, when the clouds are bleak, the grass in Xijian City is sticky, the fallen leaves are falling down, and the fragrance of all trees is lost. The Muyang River, which is full of smoke and fog in the summer morning light, is thin like a pen that reaches the sky this season, collecting the sound of the waves, and silently carving the autumn period. The pedestrians on the riverside walked in a hurry, and it was difficult to hide the tiredness on their faces, and they couldn't wait to return home as soon as possible and warm wine and tea by the fireside. In late autumn, the scenery of the ancient city gradually becomes depressed, but what remains unchanged is still the gossip in the market and the gossip in the alleys, which continue day after day in the tea shops and wine shops.

For several days, Yingxian wandered around the city and heard all kinds of talk. It is said that there is turmoil in the palace, and the prince has been almost determined to be the king of Duan, Situ Hui, and the officials of the court and the central government have flattered and touted it, and the king of Xin, who lives outside the palace, has pulled the prime minister to help him, and on the other hand, he is recruiting talents, and he wants to fight hard. It is said that the new earthquake in the south has caused countless casualties and even triggered local riots. It is also said that the border smoke has risen again, the Moyue clan has killed many border people, and the imperial court is dividing troops to prepare for war, and the treasury is also strained because of this. It's more of a peach-colored incident that pops up inside and outside the palace and everyone's small households. As for the truth or falsehood, people don't care too much, just talk for the sake of talking, giggling and drinking until dawn.

Within a month, Yingxian returned to the palace again, and when she saw Situ Yan and Yingxue, she had already developed a separation in her heart, and she had disgust for the entire Jingyang Zhai, but she tried to restrain herself from revealing it. Yingxue used a bitter trick to raise her complexion for a few days, and when she saw Yingxian, she still took care of her, and asked about Situ Xi's recent situation. Yingxian prevaricated in the past, thinking: You join hands to hurt his body and heart, and you have to pretend to condole, it is really hypocritical.

If you want to say that Yingxian is the most depressed, it is Ji Linghuang who goes to the palace every day to teach Situ Qin's swordsmanship. When I inquired, it was also "Stained Clothes Sword Technique". It is unknown how the third princess has progressed, but after practicing the sword for nearly a month, Situ Qin recommended it to Yongrui, and actually transferred Ji Linghuang to serve in the Imperial Forest Army, directly obeying Kong Huan's orders.

Ying Xian learned about this on October 10. When there is no moon in the night, the stars are sparse, the breeze teases the loose shoots, and the mood of the strings is like the starlight, and it is difficult to sleep all night. The next day, he got up before dawn, quietly buried a gloomy mood, and went to Ningyu Mountain, which belongs to the Mingshan Mountains with Good Hope Mountain, at the request of Situ Xi and Ji Linghuang, to see off Ji Linghuang.

After entering the mountain, I looked up and saw the bright glow weaving in the air, holding out a round of bright sunrise, and the brilliance soaked in the forest. The ethereal distant mountains unfold one by one with the gallop of the horses in the wind, leaning against the sky and the red screen. When the horses galloped to the high platform, the glow had faded and the mist was born. The three of them stopped their horses and looked, surrounded by huge rocks, the peaks were like sharp axes inserted through the autumn cold, the smoke was around, and the jade belt was like that. Looking at the eyes, I only feel that the world is vast, the heart is relaxed, and the vulgar feelings and troubles also disappear into the sky with the mountains and clouds.

At this moment, Yingxian saw Situ Xi and Ji Linghuang standing side by side on the cliff, like the dawn of spring, if the autumn moon is clear. Qingguang fell from Xiaoyu one by one, and the two of them were caged in the light golden glow, flying and floating, like immortals. Situ Xi took the lead and said to Ji Linghuang: "The imperial sister recommended you to go to the Imperial Forest Army, and from now on, I am afraid that you and I will have a rare gathering." And I don't know who to trust in the palace. ”

"Lord Wu is shrewd and observant, and His Highness should use it. In fact, if His Royal Highness has the heart to seek talent, he will naturally be virtuous. I am afraid that His Highness has no intention of making progress, and he will inevitably be coerced. Ji Linghuang said it very directly.

Situ Xi said: "I also know that Wu Yiqing is a talent. When he was transferred from the court to the palace to serve me, he was actually a condescending talent. Speaking of which, when the imperial brother was alive in the past, the name of the prince was already decided, and I was not very interested in this court and state affairs, but I also ended up relaxed. It's just a waste of his talents. When Ji Linghuang heard this, he asked: "Why is Your Highness not interested in the affairs of the court and state?" ”

"I look at this long history, you fight for me to appear, take turns to 'correct Shuo, easy to wear', the winner stays fragrant, and the loser leaves a stench. And the white bones and blood behind it, how could it have really been calculated and cared about? To tell you the truth, I was born in an imperial family, and I often feel unlucky, and I hate to be as free as ordinary people, even if it is a game of Hongchen, I am really afraid that I will not be able to escape the fate of martyrdom after all. "After that, looking at the sky is another sigh.

Ji Linghuang's expression was like a light smoke, and he said: "Your Highness doesn't know that ordinary people also have the hardships of ordinary people. How lucky are those who are surrounded by walls and displaced, who are running around all day long just for one meal and one meal? Even if you are rich and prosperous, in the end, you are still bound by the chains of fame and profit, and you will not be able to live in peace. So...... You and I can't choose which family to be born in, so we can only take our own responsibilities. ”

Situ Xi's eyes flashed: "Yes, although I have no intention of competing for favor in front of my father, it is only after this celebration of the imperial sister that I understand that there are things in this world, but it is not something you don't want to do." If you don't want to fight for it, then you can't complain about being abandoned. ”

Ying Xian listened to it in her heart. Seeing Ji Linghuang, he nodded and said: "Although most officials in the court and the central government now support King Duan, if His Royal Highness has the courage to break the kettle, he may not be able to turn the tide." ”

"Prime Minister Yue has been angry with his father several times for me, and now his prestige is not as good as before. And last year's disappearance of Lord Wang also happened after the prime minister asked me to be established. I have to find out why. If I keep giving in, how can I be worthy of the servants who have given me so much effort and even my life? As he was talking, a red maple fell on Situ Xi's shoulder, like a split finger, and the blood stained the leaves with oil, but he didn't reach out to brush it off.

Yingxian couldn't help but ask: "Do you think Lord Wang's disappearance has anything to do with the Han Gong Guild?"

Ji Linghuang said: "Gonggong Han is currently in power, and he fully supports Concubine Chen, he is indeed His Highness's biggest enemy. As for Lord Wang's disappearance, of course he can't get rid of suspicion. It's just that the evidence is insufficient at present, and His Royal Highness still shouldn't speculate, so as not to startle the snake and get into trouble. ”

Situ Xi said regretfully: "The road ahead is difficult, but it's a pity that you can't stay in the mansion to support me." ”

Ji Linghuang took out a piece of letterhead from his arms and said, "I just said that if Your Highness has the heart to seek talent, he will naturally be virtuous." The names on this list are a few friends I made in the people before I entered the palace. These people have their own talents, and they should be able to help His Highness. However, some of them are unwilling to be obsequious and mediocre, and some are nostalgic for the freedom of the rivers and lakes, and they are only willing to be idle clouds and wild cranes. Whether His Highness can find them or not, please move them, but it depends on the fate of God and the sincerity of His Highness. ”

Situ Xi took the letterhead and swept it, his eyes were surprised, and he laughed at himself: "Ling Huang, no, Brother Ji, look at me, I have been confused for twenty years. I don't know how to thank you. Carefully putting the letterhead in his bosom, he suddenly asked, "Also, I want to know, who are you?" ”

Yingxian moved his gaze to Ji Linghuang. His sluggish expression flashed for a moment, and he said indifferently: "If you don't change your name, you can't change your surname, Ji Linghuang is just Ji Linghuang." ”

Situ Xi smiled: "It's okay." Ling Huang, I hope you will go well after joining the army. I've heard that there's another disaster at the border. Since my father has the heart to use you heavily, he may transfer you to the border to defend against the enemy. You are very intelligent, and you should do something big. ”

"Hehe, how can the great rivers and mountains be affected. Do your best. ”

Situ Xi stared at Zhou Shan and slowly chanted: "In the past, don't have deep intestines." ”

Ji Linghuang continued: "Since you have climbed to the heights, you will sing loudly!" ”

The two smiled at each other, a clear and firm light crossed their eyes, and the sky echoed with the faint chirping of geese. Yingxian suddenly thought: Princess Yuanxi is scheming, and she calculates only to know herself and the other, but she finally miscalculates one step.

Her heart was surging, and she was also looking at it. The sky is as high as ever. The mountains are stacked and stretched, and there are two peaks rising in the middle, which are shaped like dragons fighting their wings. A gust of wind blew, the pine waves and the wind whistled, and the frost leaves danced wildly, setting off a bleak red rain. It was the middle of October in the nineteenth year of Yongrui, the west wind was blowing, the morning light was like a wet, and the cold autumn mood soaked through the clothes.

****

Returning to the princess's mansion from Ning Yu Mountain, Ying Xian couldn't calm down for several days. always recalls the eyes in which Ji Linghuang stared at him when he said goodbye: he seemed to be reluctant to hide, and finally relieved. On the afternoon of October 18, I felt that my mind was churning, and I was eager to confide in Situ Su, hoping that she could find a way to cure the soul disorder. However, after searching all over the princess's mansion, there was no second princess. asked Xiao Ningzi and Huiyi, but they all said they didn't know. When passing by Yixin Hall, a string of beautiful piano sounds floated past my ears, and I thought to myself: it is better to listen to the master play the piano, maybe I will be in a better mood.

Walking into the secluded middle hall of the incense seal, when Chu Shabai finished playing a song, Yingxian said: "I know that the master's piano skills are superb, but it's a pity that I can't be like the two senior brothers Yinhe and Shaoyu, put aside all the mundane distractions and concentrate on the piano." So when I came here today, I didn't plan to learn the piano, I just wanted to listen to Master play a few of the best songs. I wonder if Master will grant my wish? ”

Chu Shabai raised his eyes and watched Yingxian quietly, and motioned for her to sit down. The magic finger was slightly pressed, and another song flowed out. At first, it was like a clear spring of runyu, but then it became more and more vigorous, like a crack to curb the clouds. In the sound of the piano, Yingxian saw a familiar picture, and saw-

Under the faint dew of the dawn, a snow-white horse galloped and galloped among the sparse forests, like flying clouds through the stones, such as dancing in the sky, and the posture amazed the whole bleak valley.

White horses are not alone. Behind him, there were probably seven or eight good horses, no matter the color of their coats, they all ran hard. They were no more than a few feet away from the white horse, but a few feet away from them allowed the former to take the lead. It is like an arrogant leader, striving with all his might, but always facing the danger of losing everything after being surpassed.

The galloping horses in pursuit were led by a sturdy yellow horse. The driver was a man in Tsing Yi wearing an official uniform and a guard's hat. He tightened the reins with his right hand, leaned forward with his center of gravity, revealing a quiver full of feathered arrows behind his back, and whipped the horse's buttocks with his left hand, shouting: Stop, or I will release the arrows!

The white horse was holding a pair of young men and women in their twenties, the women in front and the men behind, their bodies clinging to each other, sweating and panting. The intimidation of the pursuers did not work, and Hakuba tried his best to get his master a chance to escape. The man suddenly heard the sound of metal breaking through the air behind him, yelled that it was not good, and suddenly hugged the woman and helped her down. Thanks to the white horse's cleverness, he can be regarded as escaping a catastrophe. However, after a moment of respite, several more feathered arrows flew one after another, and the demon screamed again and again. A few missed, one passed by, and one rubbed out of the head; Finally, the last one, the man couldn't dodge, and with a pounce, the long arrow had pierced into the back. Due to the astonishing speed, the arrow pierced the man's chest and sank into the back of the woman in front of her, who let out a terrible scream......

The sound of the piano is overwhelming. Yingxian broke out in a cold sweat. Looking around, it is still elegantly decorated Yixin Hall; Sitting in the hall was still Chu Shabai, whose face was scratched to pieces. It's just that his demeanor is not as cold and calm as before, as if he has just struggled to break free from an unbearable memory, his eyes are full of hatred, and the green silk on his shoulders is also trembling with palpitations.

Ying Xian calmly asked, "Master, what is this piece called?" ”

"A single name is a 'chapery' word." It was Shaoyu who spoke.

Ying Xian muttered, "It's the first time I've heard Master play such an intense and poignant tune. It's like breaking life and death. ”

Yinhe said: "The piano person, the change of the sun and the moon in the world, the change of anthropomorphic ethics; Gratifying, sad, lamentable, resentful. This song is also a song that Chu Gongzi does not pass on. Just listen to it, and you can understand the beauty of the piano. ”

After a word, Chu Shabai's new song started again. This time, it is a deep and gentle tune, which leads the strings to climb the mountains and wade into the deep ravines. When he lost his soul and was depressed, as if he was guided by the gods, he involuntarily left his seat and walked outside alone.

The clouds in the sky accumulated layer by layer, and when the wind rose, the coolness invaded the bones, but Yingxian walked in a trance as if he had lost consciousness. walked all the way to the huge rock in the back mountain of Yunyin Garden, touched the mechanism in a cluster of scattered blades of grass, and trance-drilled into the hidden Phantom Time Palace. At this moment, Situ Su's advice has long been left behind.

The cold and quiet path seems to lead to an unknown death zone, but the light suddenly sours in after the torment of dense darkness.

Although it was late autumn, the plants planted in the courtyard were still lush, and the trees were steaming like green clouds. One of the small-leaved dwarf trees has produced small golden fruits, which are bright and fragrant in the blue waves. Yingxian automatically ignored the beautiful scenery in front of him and walked up to the second floor. When I arrived at the cloister, I heard the voice of a woman in the north room. Yingxian immediately woke up from her trance.

She remembered the last time she came to the Phantom Time Palace, the wooden door of the hut on the north side of the second floor had been locked by a carved lock. And now, the lock has been opened, the door is hidden, leaving a slit, and the woman's deep voice is coming from the room. Curiosity overpowered fear, and she quietly walked to the door. A chill rushed to his face, and Yingxian shivered.

It's stuart. But who is she talking to?

Ying Xian peeked through the crack in the doorβ€”a cold, crystalline hut, and Situ Su sat with his back to him in front of a bed that seemed to be carved out of white jade. The bronze lantern stands at the head of the bed, the flame of the lamp jumps, and the faint warm light spreads in circles, like a red lotus blooming in the snow. The light casts Situ Su's slender figure on the wall, which is infinitely clear. Yingxian's eyes moved, and he saw a person lying on the jade bed. Dressed in beautiful and fresh clothes, jade belt brocade shoes, neatly dressed, lying on the bed without moving, above the chest was blocked by Situ Su, and he couldn't see his appearance.

Ying Xian was shocked to cover his mouth with both hands, and couldn't stop his body from trembling, only to hear Situ Su say: "There have been many changes in the palace and outside the palace, and the world is unpredictable. Do you still remember a song you wrote before, "Eternal Happiness", I read it to you? ”

There was no answer, only a deathly silence.

So she read:

"Indulge in the autumn lake, sing the spring moon, what do you worry about when you are young? The brocade sentence is preliminary, and the pearl is not given, so don't make the group mistaken. Lang Yu is wet with snow, clear light and dawn, how can I hate that there is no owner next to the road. The most shocking, the fragrance is turbid, and the branches are not expected to rain.

The rivers and mountains are in the painting, the clouds and cliffs are rocky, and the pine wind is the same. Cover the volume and chant slightly, tune the strings three or five, and fly in the dream. Yazhi is still there, the light smoke surrounds the trees, and the darkness of Shaohua is in his hand. Laughing at history, red face and white bones, paid in the evening. ”

The quiet voice seemed to float from a distant earth. Finally, Yingxian retracted his snooping head and stared around. The lights were chasing in the courtyard downstairs, but the books upstairs were all closed, and there was no sound at all, like a banned monster hidden. Her consciousness blurred againβ€”the Illusory Time Palace suddenly shook violently. He was swept up by a gust of wind and entered an unpredictable and unpredictable hole. The wind whistled in his ears, the blood in his body flowed back rapidly, and all kinds of light converged and concentrated towards the pupils, and finally slowly condensed into a mysterious and rich Hades. When the wind subsided, everything returned to calm. This body still exists in this realm, and the lonely groan of the beautiful ghost lingers in her ears, but she doesn't know where this world is, what night and night.
