Chapter 234: A Life Is Too Long
At the beginning of summer, the sun is like fire.
There were no patrolling soldiers on the towering city walls, the brocade dragon flag was shaking, and the city was like a dying beast, no longer able to radiate a trace of vitality.
The grand scene has not changed, the city is still full of flowers, between the streets and pavilions in Kyoto, the gentlemen and gentlemen are silently bowing their heads, with a respectful attitude, but it is difficult to hide the complexity in their hearts.
On the street of the city, where five cars were parallel and spacious, both sides were lined with soldiers in military uniforms and people who came to see them, all of whom were speechless, just staring closely at the person in front of them.
Zhao Xian walked in the middle of the street, and behind him were the important members of the army led by Yue Jiheng, all of whom were moving forward with their heads held high, and their armor was particularly hot in this summer, but no one complained bitterly.
Miyagi is far away, and its gate can be faintly seen, and there is a figure standing in front of it.
Yue Jiheng enjoyed this feeling of being in the limelight, and patted the beast on his shoulder from time to time to say hello to the beauties who were in awe and fear on the street, but it was a pity to walk behind Zhao Xian, otherwise it would really be in vain.
However, he also has self-knowledge, if he is established in Wuchang Zhao Xian's foundation, he can also borrow the capital of 50,000 soldiers and horses to be the boss, and now Zhao Xian has successfully persuaded the generals of the An family, it is impossible for him to fight with Zhao Xian.
Seeing Zhao Xian's extremely fast pace, a few thoughts flashed in Yue Jiheng's heart, and he trotted forward and asked softly: "General Zhao, there is no resistance in Kyoto, and they are all surrendered to the power of our army." The generals in the army are privately discussing the next moves, the first emperor is mediocre, and now the time is ripe for the people to have no dissent, if the general is stabbing the first emperor, take this opportunity to stand on his own......"
Zhao Xian's palm was raised lightly. Thousands of generals in the rear stopped in unison, he turned around, and sure enough, he saw that the generals under the An family were all looking at him eagerly. Zhao Xian continued to walk towards Miyagi, shook his head lightly and said, "Brother Ji Heng, the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time." Northern Qi and Daliang have been fighting for a hundred years, and they have already made a lot of trouble, and the people are not happy, there are no men in the fields in Jiangnan and other places, and there are no strong men in the family, even if there is no blood edict of the first emperor, Daliang has only a few years of luck left. The people are fed up with the war. The unity of the world is in accordance with the will of the people. If we covet glory and wealth to inherit the unification, we may rely on military strength to hold out for a while, but how long can we maintain it when the people's hearts are lost? ”
Yue Jiheng had long known the war-weariness of the officers and men in the army. That does sound like some reason. Being an emperor is not just a matter of wearing a dragon robe. Self-proclaimed emperor does not have to be cleaned up by the Northern Qi Dynasty, how can the mess left by the previous dynasty be beaten. It's just that these generals have been at war with the Northern Qi all year round. Suddenly wanted to go home to the Northern Qi Gate, and I felt a little uneasy.
Zhao Xian didn't say much, and suddenly walked to the palace gate.
Outside the vermilion palace wall, there are neatly kneeling palace eunuchs and guards, all of whom have not escaped and are ready to take refuge, and there are several royal relatives in front of them, trembling with their heads to the ground, completely devoid of the majesty of the past.
The sun was like fire, and a few fine sweats had already floated on everyone's foreheads, clenching their teeth and respectfully waiting for everyone in front of them to walk by.
Zhao Xian's eyes searched among the people, and suddenly saw a pretty woman in a golden palace dress kneeling quietly in front of everyone, looking at him with a smile.
The face is gorgeous, the country is charming, who can there be except the little queen Shen Yu. The generals who didn't dare to raise their heads in the past all looked at the past, and looked up and down a few times, but the imperial court was still there, and they didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
This little girl, wearing Sister Xiao's outfit, is really a little amazing. Zhao Xian also glanced at Shen Yu a few times, but the conspiracy with Shen Yu couldn't be on the table after all, if the matter of forging the will came out, Yue Jiheng behind him would be the first to rebel, so he had to pretend that he was not very familiar with the queen.
Zhao Xian walked forward slowly, his eyes raised slightly, and suddenly in the crowd, he saw a familiar woman, she knelt quietly among the many palace maids, staring at him with hatred, if the gaze could kill, he was estimated to have died hundreds of times.
Zhao Xian thought about it for a while, this beautiful appearance was not Ye Sha's maid Qiao'er, his body stiffened slightly, and he wanted to continue moving forward but couldn't take a step anymore.
Clenching his palms tightly, he sighed silently and rerouted towards Qiao'er.
Qiao'er girl saw that the wicked man found her gaze, and walked towards herself, she immediately lowered her head in horror, knelt on the ground tremblingly, and said tremblingly: "The slave is guilty......
"What are you guilty of?" Zhao Xian held her arm and picked her up, with a complicated look in his eyes, he wanted to leave, but he still couldn't bear it, and asked, "Ye Sha, ...... Is she okay? ”
Qiao'er showed a little anger on her face, but she didn't dare to raise her head for Zhao Xian to find out, so she just bowed her head lightly and said, "The princess is waiting for you in Kaifu Temple, if you don't want to go, just return the jade pendant to her......"
Zhao Xian clenched his palms, let out a long breath, and was silent.
Qiao'er secretly raised her eyes and observed the wicked man's face, but saw that he was in a trance.
After a while, Zhao Xian patted her little shoulder, turned around and walked directly to the side of the street to lead a horse, and galloped away.
The soldiers watched the boss run away after listening to a few words from a palace maid at such a critical moment, and they couldn't help but be inexplicable. However, everyone is in a hurry, and as subordinates, they naturally can't stop shouting, so they have to take over Miyagi according to the plan and detain all the imperial relatives and relatives, waiting for Zhao Xian to come back and deal with it.
Whipping like rain, riding horses like flying. Walk through the colorful forest path to the main gate of Kaifukuji Temple.
The temple is surrounded by greenery, a few birds and cicadas chirp hoarsely, and nothing else.
Entering the temple, the first thing that catches your eye is the peach and plum on the side of the corridor, sprinkled with colorful fallen flowers everywhere, red, white, yellow, colorful petals like a rain of flowers, swaying and falling in the air, gorgeous and dazzling. The temple, which should be full of tourists, has become crowded because of the arrival of the army in Beijing, and the silence is a little scary.
His heart was wrapped in several layers of silk, and it was hard to even beat. The last time they broke up, the two never saw each other again, so I thought that this time they met, it was also in Kaifu Temple.
It's a pity that the former princess is no longer a princess, and the former general is no longer that general.
Gently raising his hand to stir the green trees in the corridor, a few leaves fluttering and falling on the bluestone floor. A faint fragrance came to his nose, and he pretended to be calm and walked slowly, and his footsteps slowly stepped towards the Buddhist hall.
Fang pushed open the door of the temple and looked up, but suddenly it was like thunder and lightning, his body stagnated, and he couldn't move anymore.
A graceful woman stood quietly at the door of the hall, with red flowers and green trees, reflecting her beautiful cheeks as crystal as jade. The breeze blew her palace dress. Three thousand green silks dance lightly in the wind. Like a fairy in the sky, clear and beautiful out of the dust.
She was carefully dressed, with a little red lips and a hibiscus face. The skin can be blown and broken. Her hair fluttered slightly. The delicate skin without the slightest blemish can be broken by blowing, and the thin willow eyebrows seem to be the spring water of March. The dark and deep eyes are like the vast starry sky. The bright red lips are like dots, and on the cheeks that are as white as jade, two lines of tears are slowly dripping, and the eyebrows are slightly frowned, as if there is infinite grievance.
The breeze was light, and bright tears slowly flowed from the corners of her beautiful eyes, looking at the familiar young general in front of her, and muttering, "I thought you wouldn't come......"
Zhao Xian was slightly stunned, and was speechless after all. After knowing that she was a princess, she could be alienated from her before, and what she was afraid of was the arrival of this day.
In Northern Qi, on the road, countless times guessed the scene when the two met. She hated it to the core, and she was so angry that she wanted to kill herself, or she was so sad that she refused to treat each other seriously, even if it was the most extreme separation between heaven and man, he had thought of it.
But the factual basis was unexpected, she was not sad, she was not angry, only because of her arrival, and the faint surprise in her beautiful eyes.
The more this happened, the more unbearable Zhao Xian became, nodded awkwardly, and said softly: "Ye Sha, I'm sorry......" The matter has come to this, what is the point of apologizing?
"It's okay!" Ye Sha choked and squeezed out that bright smile, stepped forward and hugged his waist, and buried her head in his chest: "I forgive you, I don't hate you...... Remember, what you said last time? ”
Zhao Xian's body shook slightly, he was resolute, his body couldn't help trembling, and he raised his hand several times to hug the person in his arms, but he shrank back because of the guilt in his heart. He gritted his teeth tightly and said lightly: "Miss Ye Sha, if it really comes to that day, you can still say this sentence to me, Zhao has nothing else to say, you are on top and I am down, let you ride for the rest of your life......"
When the day came, she really said this, but Zhao Xian's heart was pierced by thousands of steel needles, and even her breathing involved a tingling pain all over her body.
Ye Sha looked up at him, her red lips twitched a few times, and her smile became more and more prosperous: "Words count!" You belong only to me today. I'm not a princess, and you're not a general. The words were relaxed, and the tears were pouring down, but they were like beads with broken threads, rolling down.
She took Zhao Xian's hand and slowly entered the Buddhist hall. The scene made Zhao Xian shocked from the bottom of his heart.
Two red candles swaying under the statue of Guanyin, the red silk wedding cloth decorates the empty Buddhist hall into a new room, and two cups of sake are placed on the table, just like a wedding room waiting for the newlyweds to settle in.
"Ye Sha, you..." Zhao Xian looked at her sparkling eyes, and all kinds of words came out of his mouth, and his mouth turned into a silent sigh.
Yesa cocked up her fingers and covered her lips. With that poignant smile, he came to the futon and choked up: "Zhao Xian, I like you, do you like me?" ”
Zhao Xian clenched his teeth, did not speak, and nodded lightly.
Ye Sha's face was dyed with a touch of red, and she said very gently: "Zhao Xian, I am willing to marry you, are you willing to marry me?" ”
"I'm such a bastard..."Zhao Xian's eyes couldn't help but be hot and wet, all his thoughts turned into the current impulse, hugged the person in front of him fiercely, and said in a hoarse voice: "I have liked you for a long time, since the last time in the Buddha Hall, I knew that I would never be able to let go of you." I'm going to love you for the rest of my life, I'm sorry for you for these things I do, but ......"
"Enough!" Ye Sha burst into tears, raised her hand gently, and covered his lips: "It's too long in a lifetime, love me this time, I'm already satisfied." ”
She gently lifted the two glasses of wine that had been prepared from the Buddha case, her hands trembled slightly, and she looked deeply into Zhao Xian's eyes: "Today is our big day, I'm just Ye Sha, you're just Zhao Xian, don't mention other things, okay?" ”
Zhao Xian suppressed the pain in his heart, nodded slightly, staggered wine glasses, and the two who stared at each other drank it all.
After a while, her cheeks were stained with a few blushes, and she didn't have much stamina, but she had already begun to faint.
The beautiful eyes were raised slightly, leaning on Zhao Xian's chest, and said softly: "Zhao Xian, hold me tight!" Let me hear your heart, is it beating for me. ”
Zhao Xian wrapped his arms around her waist as he said, and his eyes stared, all of which were full of tears.
She raised her hand lightly, stroked the man's cheek, and said in a somewhat confused voice: "It's good if you don't come today, so I won't die?" I like you so much, I liked it in Jinling, it turns out that you also like me... Why... Why ......"
Her head hurt more and more, she stopped all her thoughts and wrapped her arms around Zhao Xian's neck: "Kiss me, okay?" ”
She looked strange, Zhao Xian also said that she was not strong enough to drink, the corners of her mouth hooked a few wry smiles, and she hugged her and kissed her fiercely.
The eyes are intertwined, the sweetness is secretly tasted in the depression, and the mind is blank, maybe there is only each other at the moment!
Zhao Xian is not a good person, and the life and death of the people in the world have little to do with him. But Yijun, Sister Liu, and him are all controlled by the Northern Qi, and sooner or later there will be a meeting with the Daliang sword soldiers. Rather than being driven by the threats of others, Zhao Xian chose to take control of the development of the situation in his own hands and personally extinguished the beam.
This would break Yesha's heart, how he didn't know, but he had no other way. As long as Yesaken forgives, he is willing to compensate for it with his life.
It's a pity that a lifetime is too long, and some people can't survive that long time.
Gradually, Zhao Xian tasted a little fishy sweetness in his mouth, he sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly helped Ye Sha up from his arms to look, but saw that a few traces of Yin Hong's blood gradually flowed from the corners of her lips.
Ye Sha's eyes were dilated, and she stubbornly raised her hand to caress his face, revealing a few poignant smiles: "It's good that you don't come today, it's better to hate you to die than to love you to die...... I know that after today, I will still hate you and will never be able to forgive, so I don't want to see tomorrow...... You hate it! I hate you to the core, but I love you so much...... You're really ruthless......"
"Yesha! You, you stupid! Zhao Xian's tears suddenly dripped down, his arm hugged the limp Ye Sha tightly, and said angrily and anxiously: "What are you doing?" If you hate me, give me the poisoned wine directly. What kind of poison did you take? Get the antidote! ”
Ye Sha's face was a strange red, and she looked at him with wide eyes, her eyes full of tenderness and nostalgia.
"Zhao Xian..." she shouted with all her strength, but her voice was as thin as a mosquito, and she could barely hear herself.
Seeing Zhao Xianliu's crystal eyes, she suddenly smiled.
As soon as his body softened, he slowly fell down, his beautiful eyes slowly closed, and he fell asleep silently... (To be continued......)
