At that time, Ying was imprisoned for the crime of rebellion, and escaped without being imprisoned, the general ordered to be arrested, and Ying committed suicide, and the general's anger was still unsettled, and he was hastily buried in the northern suburbs of Qinzhou.

In the twenty-fifth year of Rongsheng, the Northern Han Dynasty died, and the king of Dayongqi showed the world that the innocent killing of Ying was known to the world.

――History of the Northern Han Dynasty - Quartz Biography

Qiu Yufei stood on the top of the corridor, listening to the sound of the pipa in the pavilion like a cloud and flowing water, and only felt relaxed and happy.

After the Qingdai girl was brought into the General's Mansion, when Xiao Tong interrogated, Qiu Yufei was hidden in the dark, he cherished Qingdai's talent and appearance, especially her good pipa, worried that Xiao Tong's spicy hands would destroy the flowers, so he secretly maintained it. No matter how hard and soft Xiao Tong is, Qingdai just responds coldly, even Qiu Yufei can see this woman's hatred for the Northern Han court. To Xiao Tong, she is cold and detached, when it comes to Duan Wuving, she is with hatred, and when it comes to quartz, her expression is melancholy and apologetic, Qiu Yufei can understand her thoughts, she has no affection for quartz, but quartz's infatuation makes her very moved. If such a woman is a secret spy of Dayong, she is too incompetent, and she is not suitable to be a spy just by virtue of her temperament.

After Xiao Tong initially affirmed that this woman was innocent, he did not release her, firstly, he wanted to carefully investigate the woman's past, and Long Tingfei also hinted that he left Qing Dai, Duan Wushu has been busy with military affairs for many years, and he has not married, seeing that he was in a hurry yesterday, he knew that he had not forgotten Qing Dai, if they could get back together, it would not be a good story. However, in the past few days, Duan Wudi has been busy with military affairs, after Quartz's death, it is not a simple matter to appease his old department and deal with the aftermath of the smuggling case, Duan Wudi has almost no time to meet with Qing Dai, but Qiu Yufei faintly feels that it is impossible between the two, because Qing Dai has been quietly in a daze except for playing the pipa for several days, and has never asked to meet Duan Wudi, if it is not for Duan Invincible, Qiu Yufei wants to discuss the rhythm with Qing Dai.

There was a low sound of footsteps behind him, Qiu Yufei only listened to the steps, he knew that Ling Duan was coming, and he didn't look back, Ling Duan's voice came from his ears: "Fourth master, the wine is coming, the fourth master is fascinated by listening to music, don't you want to meet Miss Qingdai?" ”

Qiu Yufei glanced back at Ling Duan, seeing that he had a strange smile on his face, he stretched out his hand and gave him a jump, Ling Duan made a bitter face, since Quartz's death, Ling Duan felt that the hatred between General Tan and Li Hu had been avenged, and there was no longer any obstacle in his heart, and he also regained his former cheerfulness. Qiu Yufei saw that he looked strange, and said lightly: "Nonsense, a gentleman does not win people's love, General Duan and Miss Qingdai once had a marriage contract, although they parted ways halfway, but I see that they have not forgotten their feelings, besides, I admire Miss Qingdai's character and talent, but I don't have the intention to seek a phoenix." ”

At this time, Ling Duan saw Duan Wuyi walking slowly from a distance, and hurriedly pulled Qiu Yufei's clothes, Qiu Yufei thought that it was inconvenient for him to see it, so he hurriedly pulled Ling Duan to hide behind the rockery. I saw Duan Wushu standing in front of the door hesitating, and stretched out his hand several times to push the door, but he put down his hand. At this time, a cold voice came from inside the door and said, "Is it General Duan, please come in." ”

Qiu Yufei smiled slightly, turned around and left, he didn't want to be involved in other people's private affairs, but Ling Duan was curious, he was not very old, and he didn't have so many scruples, seeing that Qiu Yufei was already far away, he hid under the window and eavesdropped on the conversation inside. If it was in the past, his actions would naturally not be able to hide Duan Wuyi and Qingdai inside, but now the two of them who have reunited after a long absence are agitated in their hearts, and they don't pay attention to the fact that someone outside is eavesdropping.

Qing Dai saw Duan Wushu walk in, but did not stand up to greet him, still stroking the pipa with his hand, and gently plucking the strings from time to time. Duan Wushu stood at the door, looking at Qing Dai, his heart was full of emotion, Qing Dai at that time was not as cold and glamorous as now, if she is now like a winter plum as proud of the snow, that day she was as lonely and moving as a pear blossom after the rain.

Qing Dai's eyes fell on Duan Wuving, it has been seven years, the young general of the day is now a mature and stable middle-aged man, the place that once made him tempted still exists, but the two of them are already like an abyssal sea, seven years ago, she was just a girl who was at a loss and didn't know what to do, except for her deep hatred for the Northern Han court, she couldn't even think of how to retaliate. When she met Duan Wushu that day, she really wanted to share the white head with him, but after all, there was only one loyal word in this person's heart, and the two parted ways like this, he went to be his loyal minister of the Northern Han Dynasty, but he embarked on another path. Qing Dai, the original famous lady of the Northern Han Dynasty, Su Qing, is now the general post of the Northern Han spy network under the jurisdiction of the Northern County Division of the Dayong Military Department, and the four young masters of the Dayong Martial Arts - Emei Qingshan, it is impossible to have any personal relationship with the iron-walled general Duan Wudi of the Northern Han Dynasty.

Duan Wushu saw that Qing Dai was silent all the time, and finally spoke: "Qing Dai, I haven't seen you for many years, you have suffered, haven't you met the person you love for so many years, with your talent and appearance, you should have chosen a good son-in-law as soon as possible." ”

Qing Dai turned her head away, and said coldly: "General Shi is interested in Qing Dai, hasn't he been forced to death by you." ”

Duan Wushu hurriedly said: "Qing Dai, you listen to my explanation, I saw that Quartz was in love with you that day, so I deliberately avoided it, I know that you will never forgive me, Quartz has a straightforward temperament, if you marry him, you will definitely be happy, but I didn't expect him to commit treason to the enemy, let alone kill himself." ”

Qing Dai coldly plucked the pipa and said, "You don't need to say more, General Shi's favor for me does not mean that I am going to marry him, but he is very affectionate and sexual, much better than people like you." ”

Duan Wushu sighed and said, "Do you still blame me?" ”

Qing Dai said indifferently: "I once blamed you, after I left you that day, I only felt that life was boring, so I broke into the mountains, just wanted to die silently, if it wasn't for the help of the teacher, Qing Dai would have died in the mouth of the beast, and then Qing Dai figured it out, I hate the Northern Han, you are loyal to the Northern Han, this is an irreconcilable contradiction, not your fault, not my fault, but we ignored the differences between the two at the beginning." ”

Duan Wushu shook his head and said: "It's not your fault, it's my fault, you told me your mind very early that day, and I also agreed to live in seclusion with you, but I went back on my word and hurt you, you are still unmarried, I feel very guilty, it's just Qingdai, now that so many years have passed, are you still so resentful of the Northern Han Dynasty, that's a state affair, it has nothing to do with personal enmity, why do you want to be so obsessed." ”

Qing Dai said with a sneering smile on her face: "State affairs, personal enmity, I only know that my people died to death and scattered, all because of the decree of the lord of the country, my mother died of poverty and disease, and I was forced to sing in Qinglou, all because of the Northern Han Dynasty." I still stay in the Northern Han Dynasty and refuse to leave, just because I want to see the day when the Northern Han Dynasty dies, and this is what I wish. ”

A crisp slap sounded, and after Duan Wushu made a move, he saw the redness and swelling on Qing Dai's plain face, and couldn't help but say guiltily: "Qing Dai, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done it to you, you shouldn't have said these words, if others hear it, you will be treated as a spy." And you shouldn't—"

Qing Dai intercepted his words and said: "And I shouldn't say such depressing words in front of your Northern Han generals, isn't it, over the years, the people have been miserable, except for a few powerful and wealthy families who are still well-dressed and well-fed, the people have not received any benefits, let alone live and work in peace and contentment, even if the Northern Han Dynasty is dead, what is the big deal." ”

Duan Wudi's face was heavy, and he said, "Qing Dai, this is the Great General's Mansion." ”

Qing Dai snorted coldly and turned her face away. Duan Wushu said: "I just didn't hear you today, you should know one or two, now from the royal family to the common people, except for a few powerful people, who is not fighting to the death." If the Northern Han Dynasty dies, then our people are afraid that they will not be able to turn over for several generations, and this war must be fought, even if we finally lose miserably, we will also suffer heavy losses for Dayong. At that time, Dayong will destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, and he will not dare to persecute our people excessively, he will always worry that our people will rise up. Qing Dai, I only say these words to you, the situation in the Northern Han Dynasty is indeed critical now, if you don't fight, you will die, and if you fight, you may die, but we have to fight. If we can win the best, if not, but also let Dayong always remember the terrible warriors of the Northern Han Dynasty, only in this way, in order to keep our people from being humiliated, you are also familiar with the scriptures, don't you remember the Eastern Jin Dynasty when the country, Daizhou, Jinyang, Qinzhou after the return of Shun, a full hundred years, our taxes here are heavier than elsewhere, the barbarians sometimes invade, the officials sent by the Eastern Jin Dynasty deliberately exploited, until a hundred years later, the situation has improved, Qingdai, do you also want our villagers to suffer like this? ”

Qing Dai did not argue, if the Northern Han Dynasty was defeated, how Dayong would treat the people of the Northern Han Dynasty in the future was not something she could decide, and that Dayong treated the people of the Northern Han Dynasty well, and the Northern Han royal family and Wenchen generals were also worried, and the Northern Han Dynasty would not easily give up the war on this basis. What's more, with the current situation, Dayong may not be able to win steadily. However, what she is most interested in is whether Duan Wushu is really so pessimistic, if a general of Northern Han status is in such a mood, then Dayong's chances of winning will be more. Thinking of this, Qing Dai couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, her years of experience have kept her calm all the time, even Fang Cai's "gaffe" is just to deepen her arrogant impression in Duan Wuving's eyes, with such an impression, Duan Wuving will not think of the possibility that he is a spy.

Seeing that she no longer spoke, Duan Wushu said apologetically: "Qingdai, I know you won't forgive me, I will ask the general to let you go in a few days, you can take a good rest in the next few days." ”

Qing Dai was shocked, it was not her wish to be stranded here, she knew that Xiao Tong still did not give up tracking herself, although she had been cautious and careful for many years, but she still had some unclear whereabouts, for safety, she should still leave as soon as possible. Thinking of this, she said coldly: "Can General Shi be buried?" ”

Duan Wushu hesitated for a moment and said: "General Shi is buried in the northern suburbs, and the general is very angry, so he only ordered people to be buried hastily. ”

Qingdai bowed her head and said: "General Shi treated me with deep affection before his death, I want to worship him, I don't know if it's okay." ”

Duan Wudi's heart was sour, although he had long dared not have the luxury of reuniting with Qing Dai, but seeing that Qing Dai was quite affectionate towards Quartz, it still made him feel a little unhappy, but after all, he had already let go of this matter, thought about it and said: "It's okay, I should be fine tomorrow, let me accompany you to worship General Shi." ”

Qing Dai nodded slightly, it is best to have Duan Invincible to accompany her, she picked up the pipa again, stroked with ten fingers, and the mournful music sounded, Duan Invincible knew that Qing Dai no longer wanted to talk to himself, he glanced at Qing Dai deeply, and wanted to engrave this woman's face in his heart, and then turned around and walked out, the gap between the two was impossible to fill, he only hoped that the general would not blame Qing Dai, after all, in the current situation, killing a hateful singer is something that no one can object.

Looking at Duan Invincible's back, Qing Dai sighed softly, if the two had not been separated at the beginning, or there would not have been today's hostile situation, how could she say that she had no hatred, if it wasn't for revenge, why would she change her plan without permission. Originally, the order from above allowed him to arrange for the evidence of Quartz's defection to the enemy, and then released the rumors that Duan Invincible was smuggling military supplies and treason to the enemy, and finally carefully arranged to pull the clues to Quartz, although this task is difficult, but the hidden power of the Dayong military in Qinzhou is enough to do it. But when Qing Dai came to arrange this in person, an accident happened, Quartz actually fell in love with her at first sight, and after meeting Duan Invincible in Feiyan Tower, it aroused resentment in her heart, so she chose a strategy that was difficult for her to control, deliberately provoked Quartz's jealousy of Duan Invincible, and then arranged for Quartz to get the information she provided, so that he could start attacking Duan Invincible. Originally, the above request was to make Quartz suspicious, and Duan Wuving's reputation would be damaged, but what he did made Duan Wuving almost be questioned, and Quartz also died tragically in Feiyan Tower, if it weren't for Quartz's temperament, as mentioned above, I was afraid that my move would inevitably fail, but fortunately it succeeded in the end, but I was also under house arrest, and now I am still afraid when I think about it.

Qingdai didn't know if she had gone too far, but she was afraid that she would be blamed and punished when she went back. But being able to see Duan's invincible predicament made her even happier. But this is all a passing thing, after the two met today, Qing Dai knew that she really didn't hate Duan Wushu anymore, and the differences in ideas were not something that could be covered up by love, even if Duan Wushu lived in seclusion with herself, there would be a day when they parted ways.

With a faint sigh, Qing Dai remembered Quartz's voice and smile again, and remembered that when he went to the Zezhou camp to report to Lord Jiang, the gentle and indifferent young man commented sharply: "Quartz, although he is a number of famous generals, but he has suffered few setbacks, he was appreciated by Long Tingfei soon after he joined the army, and since then it has been almost smooth sailing, under the protection of Long Tingfei, there are many dark things, he is not very clear, and this person has a bad character, that is, he can't stand the grievances, especially can't tolerate someone who doubts and distrusts him." , as long as Long Tingfei suspects that he has the possibility of defecting to the enemy, this person will inevitably be angry, as long as he is guided a little, he will do something out of control, and when the time comes, it will be impossible for Long Tingfei not to doubt him. "That Master Jiang really sees people very accurately, if it weren't for the temperament of quartz, if he turned his feelings to Long Tingfeiwan, he was afraid that he would die. But even with his current iron heart, he can't help but feel pity for him, although this time he said that he wanted to get out of the excuse, but he also really wanted to worship him, such a person, even he couldn't help but be tempted.

Standing in front of the humble tomb of quartz, Qing Dai had an indescribable sadness in her heart, and after burning the paper money, Duan Wushu said softly: "Qing Dai, go back, the weather is cold, you can't stay for a long time, you come to see General Shi today, he knows under the spring, and he will definitely be blind." ”

Qing Dai smiled slightly bitterly, only afraid that Quartz had a soul, and it would be difficult to see how she framed and deceived him, so she poured the spirits in the wine jug she specially brought on the grave, and prayed silently in her heart: "General Shi, Qing Dai has caused your reputation to be tarnished, and it is also a last resort, and when Dayong dominates the world, Qing Dai will definitely try to clear your grievances." After the prayer was over, Qingdai took off the pipa on her back and played the last fold of "Ambush on All Sides" - "Back to the Camp" that she almost never played in the cold wind.

Duan Wudi didn't feel strange, after seeing Qing Dai again, he found that Qing Dai seemed to have an almost crazy love for the pipa, and almost refused to leave, and it was natural for her to play the pipa in front of the quartz grave. But just when the music stopped abruptly, Duan Wushu suddenly heard a whistling sound in his ears, and he subconsciously looked back, and the two guards behind him had fallen to the ground with black arrows stuck in their throats. Thirty feet away, more than a dozen black-clothed knights were masked in black scarves, carrying carved bows, and looked at themselves coldly. Duan Wushu was shocked in his heart, how could there be an assassin attack, could it be that someone under Quartz had a grudge, and he couldn't help but regret that he only brought two personal guards out. He pulled out his waist knife, protected it in front of Qing Dai, and said in a low voice: "Get on the horse, let's rush out." Who knew that Qing Dai sighed softly, Duan Wushu only felt a wisp of true qi penetrating through his body, and the strong feeling of paralysis made him unable to stand anymore, and fell to the ground softly. Then a pair of bare hands helped him up, let him sit up against the quartz tomb, and Qing Dai's cold and clear face fell into his eyes.

Duan Wudi suddenly understood a lot of things, why was Quartz so resentful of himself, why did he die in Feiyan Tower, he said sharply: "Qing Dai, haven't you already taken refuge in Dayong?" ”

A cold light flashed in Qing Dai's eyes, and at this time, a black-clothed knight dismounted with a package and said, "Miss, please change your clothes quickly, we can't stay for a long time, we must leave Qinzhou City before anyone notices." His voice was crisp and pleasant, and if you looked at his figure, you knew it was a woman. Qing Dai handed her the pipa and then took the package and walked to the stone tablet, and after a short time, she had already changed into a black men's riding outfit and took the black daqi handed over by another man in black. At this moment, Qing Dai, wearing men's clothes, with a long sword hanging from her waist, looks awe-inspiring, no longer a singer in the Qinglou, but the chief sentinel of the Northern Han intelligence network who leads more than 1,000 secret spies - Su Qing in a green shirt with eyebrows.

She walked in front of Duan Wushu and said indifferently: "Seven years ago, you were so ruthless that I almost committed suicide in the valley, but I finally survived, since you are so loyal to the Northern Han, I have nothing to say, I only chose this road, the Northern Han Dynasty will not die, I can't be blind in this life, invincible, now you and I are the enemy of the strange road, although I know that it is impossible, I still have to ask you, are you willing to surrender to Dayong?" ”

Duan Wushu sneered: "Since you know that I am loyal, how can you do the act of treason and surrender to the enemy, Qingdai, I was blinded by my personal feelings, and now I want to come, but you provoked Quartz to attack me, do you mean to do so?" Is General Shi really a traitor or was framed by you. ”

Qing Dai sighed softly, she knew that Duan Wushu would not surrender, since this person could not be killed, then the only way to continue to frame Quartz, her expression showed anger, and said: "Quartz is much more interesting than you, if it weren't for him provoking you without permission because of me, I Dayong would not have lost such an excellent internal response." ”

Duan Wudi sighed in his heart, he had become a prisoner of the order, Quartz had committed suicide, since Qing Dai said so, then Quartz was really a traitor, he reluctantly raised his head and said: "Qing Dai, I don't blame you for taking refuge in Dayong, you have hatred in your heart, and it is natural to act like this, but I Duan Wu Invincible will never surrender on my knees, if you look at the old feelings, give me a good time." ”

Qing Dai said coldly: "Don't worry, I didn't want to capture you to Dayong, I know your temperament, you are dead left and right, why let you suffer more humiliation?" ”

Duan Wushu felt a little calmer in his heart, and said: "It's okay, since this is the case, I can repay what I owed you in the past, and from now on, you and I will have both grievances and grievances." After that, he closed his eyes and waited for Qingdai to do it.

Qing Dai stroked the hilt of the sword, felt a pain in her heart, and muttered: "Grace breaks off love, whether it's good, or not, there will be this day after all." With that, he raised his sword and stabbed at Duan Wuyi. At this time, the black-clothed masked woman suddenly drew her sword out of its sheath and blocked Qing Dai's long sword. Duan Wushu heard the difference in his voice, opened his eyes, and saw such a scene, he felt a little strange in his heart, but his expression was still calm. Qing Dai saw his expression, his heart softened, and the deep affection of the past came to his heart, and his heart said, that is, no one stopped him, can I really stab this sword?

The woman who stopped Qingdai said: "Miss, you ordered General Shi to die because of your selfishness, if you can bring General Duan back, or if you can atone for your crimes, if you kill him, it will be a pity." ”

Qing Dai's heart moved, although because she could only rely on the pipa tune to spread the news and start the pre-agreed plan, so her cronies and assistants only knew to save Duan Invincible's life, but the reason she said was not false, she changed the plan without authorization this time, although the result was more satisfactory, I was afraid that the above would also blame it, but unfortunately I could only bear it. deliberately looked at Duan Wuving, and saw that there was already a faint uneasiness in his expression, knowing that he was afraid that he would really take him away. She smiled slightly bitterly in her heart, she was really a fan of the authorities, and she didn't have the ability to return to Dayong with a prisoner. But the play still has to be done. She deliberately pressed her sword silently, and finally sighed for a moment: "I have made a big mistake, and I don't expect to atone for my sins, after all, this person is sincere to me, if there is no help from him, I am afraid that I will be trapped in Qinzhou and not survive, that's it, I would rather die than repay his kindness, stay here, let's go." ”

Another man in black rode out and said: "Miss, this person is a general of the Northern Han Dynasty, if you don't kill him, I'm afraid that this person will kill countless of my soldiers in the future, how can Miss indulge in it because of personal feelings." ”

Qing Dai raised her eyebrows and said: "You are not in charge of the matter here, I have decided on this matter, and I will bear the blame from above." ”

At this time, a man in black rode over and said in a loud voice: "Miss, it's not good, Xiao Tong and Qiu Yu are rushing here, Miss, let's go quickly." Qing Dai took the reins handed over by his subordinates, turned over on the horse, and said coldly to Duan Wudi: "You and I have nothing to do with each other from now on, if he is lucky enough to not die, and meet you on the battlefield, you don't have to show mercy to your subordinates." After saying that, he rode his horse and whipped away, and the man in black who was reprimanded by Qing Dai glanced at Duan Wuyi stupidly, and also rode his horse to follow. But the black-clothed masked woman was the last to move, her murderous gaze turned on Duan Invincible's face, and finally left, before leaving, her right hand popped out a double-edged needle behind her and shot into Duan Invincible's body. Duan Wushu smiled slightly bitterly, hearing the sound of horses' hooves gradually moving away, and then he heard the sound of rapid horses' hooves coming from the direction of Qinzhou City, and there was a strange itch in the middle of the needle, and a feeling of dizziness came, and Duan Wushu gradually lost consciousness.
