Chapter Forty-Eight: Mo Dao was eclipsed
In the fifth year of Zhenghe, the Xia army disturbed Suizhou, Yanzhou, and Song ordered Tong Guan to be the strategic envoy of Shaanxi, Hedong and Hexi, and jointly sent a heavy counterattack with the Shejia army in Taiyuan. In the autumn of the fifth year, Tong Guan sought to take the northern boundary of Suizhou (Suide City) and Hengshanzhai, sent Xihe Road to lead Liu Fa to lead 150,000 horses out of Youzhou, and Qinfeng Road to lead Liu Zhongwu to lead 50,000 soldiers out of Ansai Village, and led the Chinese army to respond to it.
Suizhou, Mizhi Village, and Qingjian Village were restored to the control of the Song Dynasty.
At the beginning of August, Liu Zhongwu and Wang Hou joined forces with the armies of Yanyan, Jingyuan, Huanqing, and Qinfeng to attack Zangdihecheng (now Zhidanbei, Shaanxi) and Youzhou, and returned defeated, losing more than 10,000 soldiers. The Manchus were shocked...... Huizong of the Song Dynasty sent the Taiyuan army to attack Hengshan and Yulin, defeated the Xia army, and the tug-of-war between the Song and Xia countries slowly unfolded.
Although Youzhou City was broken by the Song army, it still suffered a defeat, She Yi and Zhao Wanqi did not wait for the rescue of Ah Wu and others, and the two escaped from Youzhou City in the chaos, and returned to Suide City after several tosses.
Today's Suide City is no longer in style, the city walls have been destroyed, and the entire county town is dilapidated...... The captives who were exchanged by She Yi, as well as other refugees who poured into the city from the surrounding area, became the new residents of the county. Most people took advantage of the fact that winter had not yet come, digging weeds, collecting fruits, dates and other things in the mountains and storing them at home for winter use, and the crops destroyed by the Xia army were full of vegetables such as Chinese cabbage and radishes.
She Yi and Zhao Wanqi entered Suide City from the east gate, because their clothes and shoes were tattered and unkempt, and no one recognized his identities.
Zhao Wanqi didn't hide it, and directly said that she was the county lord. These two guards went to Jiaxian Village when they disturbed the border in Western Xia, and they didn't see the appearance of the county lord, but they had seen the appearance of She Yi, and they carefully looked at the down-and-out She Yi, and it was really a bit similar, combined with the previous rumors that She Yi and the county lord escaped from Youzhou City together, and immediately confirmed the identities of the two. I was scared and urinated, and hurriedly went back to report......
The two of them laughed and came to the bustling and noisy Baishuijing Cross Long Street in the past, but now this long street is empty, and there is no one in sight, just like a dead city.
Walking to the Mingzhou Bridge, the two prepared to say goodbye. She Yi didn't speak, leaning on the bridge railing, looking at the Wuding River below, the river was still ...... On the riverbank by the river, there are more lonely mounds, and white paper money is everywhere...... Autumn is not strong, and it is very bleak.
"She Yi, you go to Luoyang with me...... It's not a problem to gain fame with your skills. When the time comes, you and I will work together to achieve a great cause...... How is it? ”
Zhao Wanqi turned her head to look at She Yi, after nearly three months of displacement, Zhao Wanqi's surname was introverted under the influence of She Yi, and she spoke much calmer, but her boasted surname still did not change.
"I'm not interested, you and I don't have the same way, or you take your Yangguan Road, and I'll cross my single-plank bridge."
She Yi said lightly, still looking down at the uncertain river below. After leaving Youzhou, Zhao Wanqi could have directly found a post station for the government or the army to send her back to Luoyang City. But because She Yi refused to go to Luoyang with her, she followed She Yi all the way to Suide City. After arriving here, She Yi still had no plans to go to Luoyang with her, so she had to give up for the time being.
Zhao Wanqi was not angry, her eyes stared at She Yi motionlessly, looked at her for a long time, hesitated, untied a delicate small jade pendant around her neck, and handed it to She Yi.
"This was brought to me by my mother when I was born. I'll give it to you now, so it's a souvenir. This time I came out to escape from marriage, but I encountered so many troublesome things, and my father, who was still harmed, moved the people to Youzhou in order to save me. This time Youzhou was defeated, and the saint would definitely blame his father. I...... I'm afraid I'll never get a chance to come out again. ”
When Zhao Wanqi said this, she was not as high-flying and domineering as usual, and her expression was a little lost.
She Yi was stunned for a moment, and raised her head to look at Zhao Wanqi.
"Don't be so sad. It is easy to change your surname, and with your surname, even if you get married, you are still very happy. This jade pendant is so precious to you, it's better for me not to accept it. ”
Zhao Wanqi smiled slightly, grabbed She Yi's hand directly, and stuffed it into his hand.
"This jade pendant, you must take it, if you want to see me, take this jade pendant to Luoyang City Rongwang Mansion to find me. Not every descendant of the royal family can be as free and free from secular etiquette as the Red Lady...... You don't know, the person I admire the most when I was a child is your mother, the Red Lady. And the cumin barbecue you made, or the fried noodles, which are really delicious...... You are the head chef of the palace canteen, and I will give you double the salary......"
Zhao Wanqi still grabbed She Yi's hand and didn't mean to let go.
"Head Chef...... Ahem...... With such a promising career, I'll forget it. However, since you are so gracious, the jade pendant will be accepted, I still have a few small bags of cumin powder, give you a pack, the gift is still exchanged...... That, my mother is really like you said, the eldest princess of Taizu's line? Am I the heir to that? ”
When She Yi heard Zhao Wanqi say this, she really became interested in the identity of her mother's red lady.
While the two were talking, a group of officers and soldiers hurriedly came over in the distance...... These officers and soldiers greeted Zhao Wanqi. Zhao Wanqi heard the sound in the distance and glanced back, hesitated, let go of She Yi's hand, closed her eyes tightly, opened them halfway, took a deep breath, and patted She Yi lightly on the shoulder.
"I want to know, come to Luoyang to find me! I'll wait for you ......"
She touched the tip of her nose with her hand, turned around slowly, and walked in the direction of the officers and soldiers who had picked her up......
"Hehe, you better get married early, the people in the province call you...... No, cumin powder is sending you a pack! ”
She Yi took out a small bag of cumin powder and threw it at Zhao Wanqi, Zhao Wanqi stopped, listened to the direction of the wind from which the cumin powder was flying, stretched out her arm, and grabbed it in her hand.
Turning his head, he first looked at She Yi calmly, and then glared viciously.
"There's a kind of you call it again!"
After finishing speaking, he turned his head, said a curse in his mouth, said "idiot", and quickened his pace and walked forward......
"Hehe......"
She Yi smiled, looked at Zhao Wanqi's back, shook her head slightly, turned around and walked in the direction of Shefu in Beimen Bay.
"She Gongzi, the county lieutenant has moved his family to Taiyuan! She Mansion is uninhabited, if you don't dislike it, go to Shilibao Xiaguan's mansion to live temporarily for a while. ”
Among the officers and soldiers who rushed over there, the officer who took the lead shouted loudly.
"Thank you for your kindness! There are still some things to deal with below, so I won't leave you at ...... for now."
She Yi replied and gradually disappeared at the end of the alley.
……
Shanxi Taiyuan City Shefu, back garden.
Under a plane tree, stood a girl in a goose yellow shirt. The girl looked like she was eleven or twelve years old, and her flawless eyes were as quiet as autumn water...... Motionless, staring at the north-west sky......
An autumn wind blew, and a few yellowed sycamore leaves fell from above......
She is She Yu, and it has been almost three months since they moved their family to Taiyuan Mansion, and in three months, her tuberculosis has been completely cured. Every morning, she would exercise and do the radio style that She Yi taught her, read some books at noon, and come here in the afternoon, looking in the direction of Suide City......
In the northwest-facing sky, the clouds are cirriling......
"People have joys and sorrows, and clouds gather and disperse.
Acacia is useless,
Nothing more......
If the other period is determined,
What about the torment.
Mo Dao was gloomy**,
Where is the willow dark...... Hua Ming ......
Brother, where are you...... You said you'd come to me......"
Two crystal tears slipped from the corners of She Yu's eyes, and another gust of autumn wind blew, and the withered leaves covered the sky...... Her green silk fluttered, her robe was blown by the wind, and the hunt sounded.
She was so thin in the wind, so lonely......;
