People sometimes really say that if they are not there, they will not be there.

The burial mound was built in a hurry. But King Gao personally commanded, and no one dared not to do his best.

The Tabernacle is just a small cave. In the darkness, through the only light that came in from the outside, you could see the murals on the four walls. Read the Chinese website again, the update is the fastest. The bright red cinnabar color depicts the life that Kang Nanen admired during her lifetime.

The bustling ancient city of Samarkand in the Western Regions, the street markets are shoulder to shoulder, the wine shops are full of friends, and the Sogdians are singing and dancing...... In the midst of the crowd was a beautiful Sogdian maiden, with blond-brown hair draped over her shoulders, and a chestnut-style robe with green flowers on a white background. Her big brown eyes were scanning the bustle in front of her with a smile.

The sun was shining, and in a corner of the market, a Sogdian man was looking at her from afar, with affection.

On another mural, the moon is already rising. The bustle and splendor of Samarkand during the day has receded, and the hustle and bustle has faded away, appearing quiet and beautiful.

Outside the ancient city, by the edge of the green trees, there is a lake. The lake is as smooth as a mirror. By the lake stood the Sogdian maiden.

A little farther away is a large bonfire, and the blazing flames of the majestic are the symbol of the god of light, Ahuramazda.

Next to the fire was a crystal bottle with a red peach wine. Next to the bottle is a half-opened, half-scrolled parchment scroll of Avesta written in ancient Persian script.

The affectionate teenager in the street market stood by the fire, staring at what was on the ground.

In the mural below, a naked girl comes up from the lake, and the boy stands in front of her, two people standing opposite each other, as if they are saying something. The young man's arm was raised slightly, and he looked like he couldn't help it......

Next, the boy and the girl had already walked together to the ancient city of Samarkand in the distance. The lake behind them was back to being smooth as a mirror.

They took away the crystal bottle and Avista. It's just that the bonfire is still burning.

That teenager was definitely not Gao Cheng.

There was no coffin on the bluestone sarcophagus bed in the burial chamber, and Kang Naning, who had a lifelike face, followed her wish and lay alone on the cold coffin bed. Like the self buried in the mural, his golden-brown hair was combed into braids, and he wore a Sogdian robe with green flowers on a white background. None of the things she had used in the Gao Wang's Mansion were put into the burial chamber.

The weather was overcast and cold, and Gao Cheng stood far away in the barren grass and watched the servants and slaves withdraw from the tomb one by one.

The tomb is closed, and the tomb will never see the light of day again. I don't know if the stories depicted on the murals will become true in another world.

Gao Cheng didn't come closer, and he didn't go into the tomb to take a look. Not only because of what Kang Naning said before she died, but also because he himself hoped that he would never have any contact with her from now on. Even if they are separated by life and death, it is best to be completely strangers and never meet again. He has never regretted a woman, this is the first time, he regrets meeting her, and regrets that he regretted her for the rest of his life with one move.

Walked back and got into the car, where Moonlight was waiting for him.

In the cold weather, the carriage stepped up and rushed towards Yecheng.

"If Kang Niangzi knew that the king was so disobedient and had to come to see her, she would definitely not appreciate it, and the king said that she would come back to you tonight?" Moonlight asked him in a joking tone, and took advantage of the situation to move over to sit beside him.

"Has anyone ever come to the princess at night?" Gao Cheng turned sideways and lowered his head to ask Moonlight.

The words were meaningless, and Moonlight didn't care about the authenticity, "What are you looking for me to do?" No matter what Kang Niangzi said, she was once the concubine of the king. I have nothing to do with the king. ”

"It doesn't matter at all?" Gao Cheng asked rhetorically? He's already upset. What's going on with them so eager to get rid of relations with him?

Moonlight glued up, hugged his neck and pressed it to his body, and laughed in a low voice, "What are you angry about?" This situation is just around the corner, and I am entangled with the king to ask for a name, isn't it for the sake of the king? For the sake of the king, hide it from my brother, so that Dawei and Rouran can be in harmony. One day the king doesn't need to be soft, I will leave immediately, and I will never let the king be embarrassed. ”

It seems that this is all for Gao Cheng, who is willing to come and go as soon as he is invited. But no matter how Gao Cheng listened, she was unsettled and ready to abandon her at any time.

Gao Cheng sneered, "I have long known that the princess has this mind, and in the princess's heart, I don't think I am the wife of Zihui at all." ”

Moonlight chuckled.

Gao Cheng suddenly pulled her into his arms with a fierce force.

The wonders of King Gao's Mansion have spread all over Yecheng. No one expected that Li Changyi would end up like this. And Kang Naning didn't even know much about her. There are too many women who have a relationship with King Gao to count, even if they are famous. Very few have seen this orchid from the Western Regions. Even if I saw it, I didn't expect Orchid to have this ability.

Li Changyi died, and no one mourned for her. The one who sighed greatly was Emperor Yuan Shanjian.

Yuan Shanjian often served Lin Xingren in private and in his confidants in Renshou Palace, and he didn't know how many times he complained. It was not easy to send such a suitable person to Gao Cheng, but I didn't expect to die so soon, it was really a waste of work. He even suspected that this was arranged by Gao Cheng at all, just to clear the eyeliner he had placed beside him.

Watching from the sidelines, Gao Cheng Mansion was very quiet.

The mansion of Taiyuan Gong Gaoyang has been immersed in the happy event of Mrs. Yan's childbirth.

The Gao Wangfu and the Taiyuan Mansion are almost incompatible.

It's too quiet.

What relieved Yuan Shanjian was that Gao Cheng went to Yuzhou in person to leave Yecheng.

The Northern Sizhou of Southern Liang is just south of Huaishui. Sizhou is separated from the Huaishui River and is opposite to Yuzhou under the rule of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Liang Jianwei's general Lanjing's department and Wei Yuzhou's assassin Shi Hou Jing's department are only separated by a water.

The relationship between Lan Jing and Hou Jing, the generals of the two countries, one Liang and one Wei, was very delicate at this time. There is a tacit understanding between each other, and there is a secret competition.

The two of them maintained a tacit understanding to maintain calm, and they were a little wary of each other. Lan Jing was stubbornly guarding the border, although he also knew from the secret letter of the crown prince Xiao Gang that Hou Jing had secretly surrendered to Liang, but he only remained calm and did not take the initiative to order someone to contact Hou Jing.

Hou Jing was the same, he didn't take the initiative to contact Lan Jing, he didn't bother to talk to a small general Jianwei. Since he is abandoning Wei and surrendering to Liang, he must at least have a higher status than the original, and don't make people feel that he is forced to do so. Although in the deepest part of Hou Jing's heart, he also secretly admitted that this ending was indeed a bit of a last resort.

Pingyang County, Pingyang County, Sizhou, Lan Jing has been here for a long time. He didn't expect that in just a few days, many important people would come to such a small county as scheduled.

It was the end of winter, and although the midwinter had passed, the weather on the south bank of Huaishui was still gloomy and cold. Because of its proximity to the water, Binh Duong City is always contained in a damp environment. Until winter comes, people will always feel that cold is deep in the bone marrow.

When night fell on this day, dozens of horsemen galloped outside the calm city of Pingyang. It was as if they had traveled a long way, as if they were in a hurry, and these horses seemed dusty in the dust.

Outside the closed gates of Binh Duong City, a group of flying horsemen slowed down and stopped. The samurai who had been at the front of the line dressed as men did not be ordered to dismount and rest like his men. He turned his horse's head and ran towards the back of the group, his eyes searching for something.

Finally, at the back of the line, he stopped when he saw two long, slender men dressed in men's clothes.

Although the tall man wearing a flat scarf and two crotch armor could not see his face clearly in the night, his behavior looked very different from the customs. One of the two scholars was full of books, a little willful and domineering; One looks cold and arrogant. Both men wore fox fur and half-canopies to keep out the cold.

The three of them dismounted together, and then came together again.

"The princess has worked hard, Pingyang City has arrived." The man said to the bookish nobleman.

Apparently this is a gentleman dressed as a girl. In fact, it is Princess Xiao Qiongju of Liyang.

The man is the son of the Liang Duguan Shangshu Yang Kan, Tong Zhi Sanqi Chang Shi, and the Xinwu general Yang Yan.

"It's good to be there." Xiao Qiongju couldn't care about being cold and tired, and her tone was quite comforting.

"Big brother, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time." Another arrogant and indifferent scholar is Yang Shunhua, the sister-in-law of the sheep and the princess's little lady of the Yang family. She reminded her brother point-and-click.

When the sheep saw that the princess was well, he ordered someone to go to the city and call for the door.

Pingyang City was quiet for many days, and suddenly in the silence of the night, Lan Jing, the general of Jianwei who was guarding the city, received a report that it was the free cavalry and the general of Xinwu who was invited to see him outside the city, and Lan Jing was indeed surprised.

He was surprised not by the sheep and the birds coming to Sizhou, but by the sheep and birds who came to Sizhou. The Yang clan is all loyal courtiers of Emperor Xiao Yan, and they have not been close to any prince, even the crown prince.

Lan Jing himself is indeed a bit ******, although one of the important reasons is that he was once the attendant of Princess Liyang. Lan Jing had long known that Hou Jing's rebellion against Wei and Liang would inevitably cause an uproar in the Liang State. It's just that I didn't expect this wave to be not only in Jiankang, but also to the border town of Pingyang so soon.

Lan Jing ordered the city gate to be opened to welcome General Xinwu into the city. He himself immediately regrouped and went out to greet him.

On the same night, Yingchuan County of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Changshe County north of Yingshui, Murong Shaozong, the Daxingtai stationed here, also received a report: King Gao actually came in person, just outside the city gate.

In the north of Changshe City, in a wilderness, Gao Cheng dismounted and turned back and called, "Idiot, come close!" ”

Hearing King Gao's call, Hou He, the general of Wuwei, immediately responded to his almost joking name and bowed down and ran with his chest in small steps, not daring to slack off a little. The two uncles and nephews of the Cui family, who were standing next to Gao Cheng, saw Hou He's actions and posture, one couldn't help but smile and the other was disdainful.

Only Chen Yuankang didn't laugh. He had mixed feelings. Knowing that the life of the person in front of him is about to end, but because he knows that a living person will not be able to tell when he will become a dry bone, it is inevitable to feel emotional.

"What does King Gao command?" Hou He approached Gao Cheng, indescribably flattering.

Hou He also understood in his heart that his father Hou Jing was now in the Hanging Gourd City on the north bank of Huaishui in Runan County, Yuzhou, although his name was Wei Chen, he did not show any traces of rebellion, and in fact he had secretly surrendered to Nanliang.

That's right, no matter how stupid he is, he should see it. If you don't believe it, King Gao can't see it. Everyone knows in their hearts, just waiting for the day when the facts are revealed. Everyone is waiting for an opportunity, and he needs it too.

When his father left Yecheng, he didn't say a word, but gave him many promises that seemed unfulfillable. Since arriving in Yuzhou, he has never sent him a letter, let alone a word. Now he even needs to worry about his own life. This can't but be said to be because of his father's involvement.

"Idiot," Gao Cheng nodded Hou He's shoulder with the wooden handle of the whip in his hand with his backhand, "Er went to call the door, and Murong Xingtai naturally came out to welcome Er in." Now that your identity is precious, Murong Xingtai will be overjoyed. ”

The handle of Gao Cheng's horsewhip is very delicately painted, and his force is appropriate, and his tone is even softer. Hou He was almost flattered. Forget that Gao Cheng always used the name "Crazy Slave" along the way, and called him extremely disdainfully in front of everyone.

Hou He didn't think much about it, gladly agreed, straightened up and strode towards the city gate as ordered. I thought to myself, how to say that he is also the prince of the county, General Wuwei, and Murong Shaozong is his father's old acquaintance, he can ask Murong Xingtai what his father's intentions are in the Hanging City for a long time.

"Brother Changyou." Gao Cheng saw Hou He arrive under the city gate, and he turned his head to call Chen Yuankang. "Immediately spread the news to Hou Jing, just to let him know as soon as possible."

Chen Yuankang agreed without the slightest doubt. For the rest, Gao Cheng doesn't need to command anymore.

Chen Yuankang understood Gao Cheng's intentions very well. Hou Jing is now so immortal in control of Runan, occupying an important place like Hanging Gourd City, it is better to force him to show up as soon as possible. Whether you go or stay, you must have a result to deal with it. Otherwise, why would there be a crusade against the unknown army?

The scourge is within the Xiao wall, so it is better to drive it out as soon as possible. Although the consequences are unpredictable, it is better than always staying around.

Cui Xian stood beside Gao Cheng without saying a word. He glanced at his uncle, and thought to himself, King Gao brought out all his confidants and cronies, what would happen to Yecheng? Uncle didn't seem to be worried at all.

The gate of Pingyang City was opened, and General Xinwu rode into the city.

Although Lan Jing did not know the sheep bird, he was not familiar with the sheep bird and had no contact.

In the darkness, I saw dozens of horsemen riding into the city, although I couldn't see it clearly, I only felt that the man on the horse in front of me was dressed as a scholar, and he was also wearing a fox fur cloak, which looked thinner, and I felt strange in my heart.

He did not come forward to greet him at the city gate, but because he was not familiar with the sheep and birds, it was inconvenient to be too eager. And the man on the horse did not dismount, and kept lifting the reins of the horse in front of him, and called out condescendingly, "General Lan".

This sound sounds familiar.

Lan Jing was suspicious, and when he looked up carefully, he found that it was actually Princess Liyang, and asked with surprise and joy, "Why is Your Highness here?" ”

Xiao dismounted, and Yang Shunhua followed.

The sheep and birds had already dismounted, looking left and right, very vigilant.

"General Gucheng, does Hou Jing have any letter to you?" Princess Liyang was led by Lan Jing to the city. She had already changed her name when the two were side by side. Anxious to know Hou Jing's movements. It's not that she can't hold her breath, but the more people in this group think about it, the more they feel that this matter is critical.

"Your Highness, rest assured, Hou Jing has a self-respecting identity, so naturally he will not have close contact with me." Lan Jing's posture was quite calm, and he did not lose his respect for the princess. "If the princess had informed the princess, the princess would have gone to greet the princess as soon as possible. However, His Royal Highness the King of Linhe, people don't know where they are, and they have already ordered people to send many messages. ”

Xiao Qiongju heard it clearly, but this time she couldn't help but ask in detail in a crowded place.

Lan Jing glanced back at the sheep and birds, and he also counted them in his heart.

Outside the Changshe City, Murong Shaozong personally opened the city to greet him. However, the situation was very unexpected. After receiving a report that King Gao was coming, but when he rushed out first, before he saw Gao Cheng, he actually saw a stupid man claiming to be "the son of the county prince Marquis Jing, the general of Wuwei Hou He", and he immediately cheered up, which was a mixture of surprise and indignation.

For Murong Shaozong, Hou He is like falling from the sky, of course, he will not let it go.

For Hou He, the city gate was opened before the door was called, and Daxingtai personally greeted him, which also made him suddenly relieved and happy.

Murong Shaozong did not dismount, and immediately ordered someone to tie up Hou He.

Hou He didn't expect this to be the result, and shouted, "Daxingtai and listen to me". He thought there was a misunderstanding, and he was anxious to explain it clearly. But seeing that Murong Shaozong completely ignored him, he shouted "King Gao's help" again.

When he shouted to King Gao, he reminded Murong Shaozong and raised his head to look for it.

Sure enough, I saw a few horsemen galloping in front of me in the night, followed by a large group of people.

Murong Shaozong saw that it was really Gao Cheng immediately, and immediately dismounted to meet him.

Gao Cheng arrived at the front of the horse and stopped at Murong Shaozong and said with a smile, "Murong Xingtai, Hou Jing's son will be handed over to Daxingtai and will be disposed of." If I can't do it, I won't obey. After that, he didn't even look at Hou He, and then proudly carried the horse into the city.

Hou He is completely stupid.
