459 The riddle
readx;
The two generals sent by Xiao Buyi to Taiyuan seem random, but they are very meaningful. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After Shan Xiongxin returned to Xiao Buyi, he has always been low-key, Zhang Gongjin was originally unknown, but he was recommended by Li Jing, and Xiao Buyi was vigorously promoted. Xiao Buyi sent two people to lead the ironclad cavalry to Taiyuan, of course, because these two people had been inactive under him, and wanted to have an unexpected effect.
Although the shadow also knows a lot, after all, he only investigates the things that Pei Mingcui cares about, and he doesn't know the whereabouts of the Wagang generals. So although she knew Shan Xiongxin, she didn't know that Shan Xiongxin had taken refuge in Xiao Buyi.
Listening to Shan Xiongxin, when he received an order from the King of Xiliang and waited in Taiyuan, the shadow was also a little moved, and finally understood why the young lady trusted Xiao Buyi so much!
Xiao Buyi is really worthy of Pei Mingcui's trust!
Pei Mingcui heard Shan Xiongxin's request, and said unexpectedly: "That...... Thank you King Xiliang for your kindness, I want to go to Taiyuan Yanhui Mountain, but I ...... Don't want too many people to know. ”
Shan Xiongxin said in a deep voice: "I know that there is a path to Yanhui Mountain, Miss Pei, please rest assured, the hundred sergeants I brought will not have anyone more." ”
Pei Mingcui nodded, "There is labor." ”
She turned around and motioned for the groom to follow. Shan Xiongxin was at the forefront, and his iron cavalry followed behind, with the intention of opening the way for Pei Mingcui. When the shadow saw it, he was somewhat relieved, "Miss, Xiao Buyi seems to know everything, and he seems to know your purpose." He ...... to you Seems to be concerned? ”
Pei Mingcui looked at Feixue outside the car window and said, "If you don't say it, it doesn't mean you don't know." Caring doesn't mean anything else. ”
The shadow was slightly stunned, seeing Pei Mingcui's loneliness, it was not easy to persuade again, she knew that Miss had an extremely important decision to go to Yanhui Mountain, and it was even related to life and death, she had always been loyal, and naturally she didn't want Miss to go to extremes, so she was unusual, and always liked to mention Xiao Buyi with Miss, but it seemed that Miss and Xiao Buyi did have no other meaning except care.
Shan Xiongxin led the team forward, and there were several rides along the way, all of which were Pei Mingcui's outposts, and after a while, there were already seven or eight subordinates following the carriage, all of them with solemn expressions and without saying a word.
Shan Xiongxin got Xiao Buyi's order, as long as he escorted, he ignored everything else. After traveling for several miles, he led his team to gallop to the side of the road, and the black-armored iron rider followed, paving a way that could accommodate the carriage to move forward.
The wilderness was barren and deserted, with only the cold wind howling. Such a group of soldiers, with a lonely carriage, although it was daytime, was somewhat strange.
Shan Xiongxin really knew the terrain around here well, and he rode on the vast snow without hesitation, turning around and around, and after walking for more than an hour, he arrived at the foot of a mountain.
Shan Xiongxin stopped and said in front of the car: "Miss Pei, you have arrived near Yanhui Mountain." ”
"King Xiliang can say, what am I doing here?"
"No, he only said that you are coming to Taiyuan, let me try to protect your safety." Shan Xiongxin replied.
"The king of Xiliang can say...... Do you want to follow me? Pei Mingcui said.
Shan Xiongxin was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No." He only said that the Taiyuan War was imminent, and he was afraid that Miss Pei would be injured by stragglers. If Miss Pei doesn't like it, I can go. ”
Pei Mingcui smiled and said: "I don't like it, but the things that follow, it's really not appropriate to follow too many people." ”
Shan Xiongxin clenched his fists and said, "Then I'll just wait here?" ”
Pei Mingcui shook her head and said, "It's cold, General Shan has worked hard, please go back." I can handle the rest myself. ”
Shan Xiongxin was not half dissatisfied, nodded, and was about to ride away. Xiao Buyi summoned him for thousands of miles, and asked him to obey Pei Mingcui's orders, and he strictly carried out Xiao Buyi's orders.
Seeing that Shan Xiongxin was leaving, Pei Mingcui suddenly said: "General Shan ......"
Shan Xiongxin Lerma, "What did Miss Pei command?" ”
"Please tell the king of Xiliang, if I have any news, I will tell him as soon as possible." Pei Mingcui said something strange.
Shan Xiongxin didn't ask much, but said, "I will definitely tell you." ”
"Also, there are many grinds in the field, and I hope General Shan will take care." Pei Mingcui said sincerely.
Since Shan Xiongxin came to see Pei Mingcui, his face has always been solemn and unsmiling, and Pei Mingcui has always spoken lightly, and he doesn't seem to take Shan Xiongxin to heart. Shan Xiongxin was slightly stunned when he heard Pei Mingcui's concern, and then smiled and said, "Miss Pei, it's cold, you don't look good, please take care." ”
After Shan Xiongxin left, the shadow said: "Xiao Buyi is too underestimated us, right?" ”
Pei Mingcui shook her head and said, "He didn't underestimate us, he was reminding me." ”
"Reminder of what?" The shadow was puzzled.
"Alert that someone might kill me." Pei Mingcui said quietly.
The shadow shuddered, "Who is it?" ”
Pei Mingcui shook her head, "Let's go." Everyone walked forward, Pei Mingcui's subordinates seemed to be very familiar with Yanhui Mountain, and entered the valley in an instant, following the road. When we reached the foot of a hill, the carriage was no longer passable. Pei Mingcui finally got out of the carriage and looked up at the mountains, her face blank.
The shadow felt a chill in her heart, she knew that this mountain was the place where Li Xuanba buried his bones! Although Pei Mingcui never explained the location, she vaguely guessed Pei Mingcui's intentions, and when she was convinced of this, for some reason, the ice and snow in the sky couldn't resist the chill in her heart.
Pei Mingcui got on the horse and slowly walked halfway up the mountain, and all his subordinates followed closely, just afraid of losing something. The mountain gradually steepened, and by the time she got off the horse, Pei Mingcui was already pale from the cold, and she was wrapped in white fur. The shadow was heartbroken, and half-knelt down and said, "Miss, I'll carry you up." ”
Pei Mingcui shook her head, "Forget it, it's almost there." Although she walked slowly, every step was extremely firm. After rounding the mountainside and passing a large pine forest, we came to a wasteland.
There is a grave on the wasteland, which has been covered with snow, and a stone tablet is erected in front of it, and five big characters are engraved on it.
Li Xuanba's tomb!
The tombstone is simple, making people feel that the person buried in this tomb must be a simple person, but few people know that under this tomb, the person buried is the first person in the Eastern Capital back then!
But no matter how beautiful the characters are, after death, they are no different from others, and the territory they can occupy is only a few feet of land.
Pei Mingcui looked at the tombstone, her face blank. The men and shadows had stepped back, and it wasn't the first time they had been here. Since Li Xuanba's death, Pei Mingcui has been busy and tired, and she has to come to visit every year. The thoughts of Li Xuanba are like words engraved on the tombstone, which are indelible.
Lips trembled slightly, Pei Mingcui took a few steps forward, and reached in front of the tombstone, reaching out to caress the tombstone. Fingers were drawn down on the five characters on the stele.
The tombstone stone carving is abnormally cold, but Pei Mingcui's hands are colder than the tombstone, and her heart is colder than ice.
"The Tomb of Li Xuanba...... Li Xuanba's Tomb ......" Pei Mingcui muttered to herself, tears suddenly flowed down, and she said softly: "Xuanba, do you know...... How I miss you! ”
She was just a few simple words, but she said it with deep affection, the bridge of everyone's nose was sore, and the shadow raised her head, not wanting tears to flow. The scene in front of her was like when Pei Mingcui first heard the news of Li Xuanba's death.
The mountain wind is howling, the pine forest is whimpering, and the snowflakes are falling down, covering Pei Mingcui's body, like another tombstone.
"When I first heard that you were dead, I didn't believe it." Pei Mingcui muttered, "Because I always thought that you had at least one year left." But the sky always likes to play tricks on you and me, even this year, the sky doesn't want to give you me, the sky is ruthless, the blue sea has hatred, I always think, maybe it's because we have gained too much, so we have lost more. If that's the case, if I really have a choice, I'd rather have nothing than get your surname back! But I ...... There is no choice! ”
Her tears fell on the tombstone and froze into tiny ice chips. Seeing that the weather was so cold, the shadow finally couldn't hold it anymore, and gave a few orders in a low voice, and some of his subordinates rushed out to collect the dead branches and leaves, and prepared to pile them up next to Pei Mingcui and light a fire.
Pei Mingcui didn't realize it, just looked at the tombstone, and continued: "I know that after you die, you will ...... as soon as possible It's to take revenge on you, naturally! I don't even have the courage to look at you, because you are in my heart, and you can't be extinguished for a long time, so what's the difference between looking at it and not looking at it? I went to Hebei and designed to kill Wang Xuba, Wei Dao'er was very cunning and escaped from my hands, but after all, Skynet was restored, and he still died at the hands of Xiao Buyi, Xiao Buyi is also your friend, and he avenged you, so if you know, you should be happy, right? ”
She burst into tears, facing the tombstone, as if Li Xuanba was in front of her, and everyone was sad, although several years have passed, but the sadness is even stronger.
"Although you are sick, you have always advised me to take care of my health, I thank you! Although you are in crisis, you remind me not to be the enemy of the world, I thank you! Although you are full of sorrow, every time you see me, you make me happy, I thank you! Maybe you don't have to say thank you to me, I don't have to say thank you, because everything has long been in the same heart. Speaking of this, Pei Mingcui said sadly: "In my life, there is only one man I like, and that is you." So it is alive, and it is the same when it is dead. ”
Pei Mingcui said plainly, and the shadow cried again, and finally understood Miss's intentions. In Miss's heart, love is obviously irreplaceable!
"Xuanba, you and I may not be born in the same year and month, but I want to die in the same year and month as you! But I still can't die,......" Pei Mingcui said gloomily: "I know you will understand, because I promised my aunt to take care of the saint." But I know the moment you die, I know...... Sooner or later, I will follow you. After I have avenged you, I will come to your tomb and tell you, please wait for me...... Wait for me to accompany you. It's cold here, and you're here alone, you should be lonely and lonely, right? I originally thought that the assassination of Penglai was just planned by Li Min, but I never thought that Luoshui attacked, Shengshang went south, my aunt returned to Yang, and Yangzhou assassinated, and I couldn't breathe one by one. You know that I am a person, if you want to investigate, you have to find out, I know that most of them are Taiping Dao troublemakers, I have the grace of God, and I have the trust of my aunt, I can't ignore it. But my ability alone is too small and too small, I watched the Great Sui River and mountains fall, and watched the Holy Lord die in my arms, powerless! ”
The fire finally ignited, bringing warmth, and the melting of the ice and snow brought a hazy mist to the surroundings, which was miserable and eerie.
"But the more I knew, the more confused I became, and the more I knew about Taiping Dao, I realized that it was really unfathomable. Even my father is also a member of the Taiping Dao, Xuanba, will you be surprised when you hear it? ”
When Pei Mingcui said this, she stopped crying, straightened her waist, and slowly left the tombstone, as if she was far away from the person in the tomb.
"You shouldn't be surprised, perhaps...... You knew that, didn't you? Pei Mingcui asked: "The Penglai assassination is just like a flash of shock, but the ingenuity contained in that assassination, I still haven't fully unearthed the truth." Although Li Valve fell, Shengshang won a battle, but you passed away, and I thought I would lose a lot. But I never thought that it was just a rehearsal of all the conspiracy! ”
Pei Mingcui muttered to herself, and the expression on her face had changed from sadness to gloom.
"I've been searching for answers, and even my father has been dug up by me, but I always have a doubt, that is...... There has always been an invisible man who has been fueling the troubles. Without this invisible man, everything wouldn't have evolved this way. But this man has such an earth-shattering power, he knows me well, and my every move will even fall into his calculations, who is this person? I slowly felt that this person was familiar to me, maybe even ...... The people around me. ”
Pei Mingcui said this, with a bitter smile, "Look at how stupid I am, I know you can't hear, I still have to tell you, but I think, you should know all this, right?" ”
"The people around me who can meet these conditions and make waves are of course my father." Pei Mingcui sighed, "So I focused all my attention on my father." I've also been quite fruitful, and after a lot of hard work, I finally found out my father's true identity, which is ridiculous, isn't it? I'm trying my best to maintain the rule of the Holy One, but my father wants to overthrow the Great Sui! There is nothing funnier in the world than this. I thought I had found the answer, my father is Tianya, Fu Pingju, an important minister of the Great Sui, and one of the Taoist masters of Taiping Dao, he is my father, and he must know me well. He came to stir up the storm and fully met the conditions. Then...... I didn't know what to do, but I breathed a sigh of relief, but I was a little relieved......"
"Miss...... You can rest for a while. Shadow worried.
Pei Mingcui's pale face was reflected in the firelight and turned red. She shook her head and continued, "I don't know what I'm relieved of, I thought ...... I've found the answer, but I always feel that something is wrong in my heart, and I don't know what is wrong! At this time, an inadvertent news came, which made me confused again, that is, Xiao Buyi was assassinated by Fu Pingju in Queshan. I'm very strange, because my father pretended to be sick and went to Dongdu, and then he turned back to Jiangdu, under my daily attention, it is absolutely impossible for him to go to Queshan thousands of miles away, that person pretended to be my father to kill Xiao Buyi, what is his purpose? My father wants to kill Xiao Buyi, because he occupies the Eastern Capital, so my father can't turn back, that person wants to kill Xiao Buyi, does he also hate Xiao Buyi for blocking his way...... At this time, I suddenly found that the so-called answer was only a half-understanding, and I thought about it from the beginning, only to find that all the development of events was by no means something that my father alone could promote development, because he had many times and lacked skills. I once questioned my father, but he didn't deny it, presumably ...... He didn't bother to refute it at all, he was that kind of person, and he didn't need to explain it to his daughter when he did it. ”
Pei Mingcui said this, and smiled sadly, "I thought about it for a long time, and finally understood that there is a key person in everything, this character not only understands my father, but also knows me very well, and he also knows Xiao Buyi very well!" He knows these opponents too well to easily play with them in the palm of his hand. I've been wondering who this person is, and I've suspected too many people, such as Kunlun, Daoxin, Qiu Beard, Xiao Dapeng, Yuan Tiangang, and even some Supreme King, Qinglong, Xu Hongke, and many other characters, but these people have the ability, but they always lack a key factor, so I don't think they are. I was in a state of unprecedented confusion, when I suddenly heard that Xue Ju was dead......"
When Pei Mingcui said this, she coughed lightly, as if she was afraid of waking up Li Xuanba in the grave.
"Xue Ju's death is not a big deal, but if Xue Ju dies in the field, I am not half surprised, but he actually died of illness, and there are rumors that he killed too many Tang troops after the victory in Shallow Water Plain, so he was haunted by ghosts and died, which is really a bit funny! Xue Ju's overlord, if he can really die like this, then there are really few people in this world who can survive. I was strange and sent someone to investigate. Xuanba, Xue Ju is dead, of course, the most beneficial is your family, I didn't think much about it at the time, I just felt that God really blessed your family. I've never ...... Suspicion to you. ”
Pei Mingcui took another step back, looked at the grave seriously, and said coldly: "I have doubted so many people, but I have never doubted you, because how can I doubt a dead person?" Xuanba, don't you say? ”
Of course, the tombstone couldn't speak, but Pei Mingcui's tone was cold, the sky darkened, and there was a sudden eerie aura around the entire tomb.
The shadow had already shown a shocked look, if she didn't know Miss too well, she would almost think that Miss was crazy!
"I really started to doubt you after meeting Xiao Buyi." Pei Mingcui said: "At that time, I just wanted to learn the inside story of Xiao Dapeng from Xiao Buyi, but I never thought that there, I would find out your secret." You know Xiao Buyi too well, if I hadn't given him that turtle shell, maybe I wouldn't have known your secret for the rest of my life! Originally...... In those days in the Eastern Capital, you dragged your sick body and did a lot of unknown things. Even ordinary people in Taiping Dao can't know the secret of the turtle shell, but you can make a turtle shell with the fake. The text of the Book of Heaven can only be understood by Tianji, but you can easily see it, if you are not an extremely important person in the Taiping Dao, how can you know so many things? It's ridiculous that I have always been deceived by your illusion, believing that you can only live for one year, even if you don't die in Penglai, and now you are also dying of illness. But do you really ...... He's dead? ”
"I really don't know if you're dead or not, but if you're still alive, it's easy to explain too much." Why did Li Jiadao have no power to resist in Penglai and let Li Valve be annihilated, because you have already had a strategy of abandoning your pawns to protect the commander, so Li Yuan was able to sit in Taiyuan later and enter Guanzhong. Since you know my father's plan to attack the driver, of course you have been prepared, I think you are the number one master in the Eastern Capital, and your martial arts are far superior to Xiao Buyi, since you are under guard, you have known that there will be assassinations, how can Wei Dao'er and Wang Xuba get you? Your drama is tragic and tragic, but it is nothing more than for the saint to see, for me to see, and for the world to see. And it turns out, you've made it! You successfully transferred Li Yuan to Taiyuan, and then lived in seclusion behind the scenes, made plans, attacked twice, disrupted the world, took Guanzhong directly, defeated Xue Ju, sat on Guanlong, and plotted the world! Every move, forethought, really interlocking, impeccable! ”
The shadow was full of horror, and her palms were already in a cold sweat, she was not afraid of such unbelievable conspiracies, but secretly thought, if Li Xuanba is really alive, how can the young lady bear it?
"Why don't you speak?" Pei Mingcui looked at the tombstone coldly, "When I thought that you might not be dead, all the mysteries had been solved, and I also understood why a fake Fu Pingju assassinated Xiao Buyi, because that person was you!" You had too many opportunities to kill Xiao Buyi at the beginning, why did you have to kill them in Queshan? Of course, you didn't look down on Xiao Buyi, just like my father, you think that he will definitely not be able to become a climate. Therefore, although you praise him and say that he is the strangest in the Eastern Capital, you have never regarded him as an opponent. You don't even want to give him a turtle shell, let him trust the prophecy of the Book of Heaven, take refuge in Li Tang, and create a big territory for your Li family! But Xiao Buyi obviously surprised everyone, his fate was up to him, he only relied on his blood, brotherly righteousness, and played a great country, you finally know that he is your family's biggest opponent, so you finally want to kill him! It's a pity...... The mechanism is exhausted, Xiao Buyi's progress is fast, and when you want to kill him, you can't do anything about him. But you still think of all ways to resist Xiao Buyi's unification of the world, so after you calculated Xue Ju, you kept plotting against Shibi Khan, because you know that Shibi Khan kept his promise and couldn't send troops in a big way. You finally couldn't bear it anymore and shot frequently, so I could see you more clearly. I think you're not lying on the mountain right now, but still in the grassland or in the middle of the pass, right? ”
Of course, the tombstone couldn't speak, but the mountain wind whimpered, the fire beat and everyone was in a cold sweat. Pei Mingcui said: "Li Xuanba, I will make a bet with you, I bet that there is absolutely no you under this grave, if you win, I have blasphemed our love and disturbed your peace, the heart of a woman, the sin is unforgivable, I will apologize in front of your grave, but if I win, of course I have the right to know the truth, right?" ”
Everyone was shocked, and without waiting for more words, Pei Mingcui had already resolutely said: "If you are silent, I think you acquiesce, come and open the coffin!" ”
(To be continued)
