Chapter 41: A Dream of Butterflies
"Nianru, don't go too fast" Mu took graceful steps, his eyes were smiling, and he looked at Qianyu dotingly, and he called Qianyu's unfamiliar name.
The person in front of him was not the cold Qianyu, but the Nian Ru he was familiar with, he instilled the memory of Nian Ru into Qianyu, and he brought his beloved back to life.
"If you go slowly, I won't wait for you" Qianyu smiled in the crowd, like a flower in the water, looking back at the wood did not keep up, and the unfamiliar little face was full of unhappiness.
There are many snacks in the lively lantern fair, and the wood pulls Qianyu to taste all the street snacks before stopping, the two went shopping on a street and bought a lot of lanterns, as long as Qianyu likes them, he bought them.
After visiting the lantern festival, Mu Tou took Qianyu to the river with a lantern to put it, Qianyu reluctantly held the lotus lantern in his arms, and watched the other lanterns being put into the water by wood, but this one Qianyu did not let go, and Mu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"If you like it, take it back," the wood left the lotus lantern in Qianyu's hand.
"Fireworks ......" When the two of them set off lanterns by the river, fireworks bloomed all over the sky, Qianyu looked up at the night sky, and the fireworks reflected her beautiful side face with a light smile.
The fire tree and silver flower one day river, the beauty in the water invited to send each other, Qianyu stood on the stone bridge, the smile on the strange little face froze, the fireworks in her eyes were like a flash in the pan, she suddenly shook her head, I don't know what's wrong, she seems to have lost something in her heart, she can't find something important, she covered her stuffy chest, turned to look at the wood.
"Who are you?" Qianyu approached the wood and looked at him seriously, his brows furrowed, as if he wanted to see him through.
"You're tired" Mu only had three faint words, he reached out and slapped the back of Qianyu's head, and Qianyu fainted.
Under the fireworks in the sky, the blue-purple figure jumped over the river, left the crowd, left the street, the wood held a thousand words and leaped in the night wind, and under the moonlight, the blue-purple cloak cut an arc.
In the verdant bamboo forest, Qianyu listened to the wood and stroked the qin, snuggled up to him, and time passed.
In the cold night, the wood plays the flute, a thousand words dance, and the years are quiet.
In the snow-capped courtyard, thousands of words pile up snow, wood paints, here is young, floating like a picture.
In the silent night, the wood guards the bedside, a thousand words fall asleep peacefully, time is quiet, and life is like this.
The rest of the month has passed in a blink of an eye, and Qianyu's body has become more and more sober recently, and Mu Tou feels a little uneasy, he knows that the effect of the medicine is almost over, no matter how perfect this face is, it is human skin after all, this strange and familiar woman is not the person he has to wait for after all.
The fiery red and gorgeous wedding dress, the face of the country with full makeup, Qianyu wearing a trailing wedding dress, sitting quietly, the wood gently painted her eyebrows, her pink face was slightly red, her steps were swaying, her forehead was decorated with curled hair, and the brocade embroidery was no more delicate than her smile.
The candle flame was clear, the wood took her hand, sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, the night was hazy, Qianyu's eyes were blurred, she looked at the wood shyly, but, gradually, she felt tired in her eyes, she wanted to sleep, and gradually her vision blurred, and gradually, she only saw the wood in red slowly approaching her.
The fresh air was filled with a cold fragrance, the plum blossoms were blooming all over the mountain, and on the snow under the plum tree, there was a young man in a military uniform, half of his face covered by a silver mask, and the cold wind blew his cheeks, and he gradually woke up from his deep sleep.
"Where is this?" The boy sat up and looked around with a confused expression, what a strange environment.
"How did I end up here? I remember that I was swept away by the torrent, why am I here? ”
The boy stood up slowly, snow-capped, the plum blossoms in the mountains were brilliant, he was in a sea of flowers, walking in the plum forest, he was looking for a way out, the cold fragrance overflowed his nose, and he pulled the sensitive thread in his memory, he squatted down with his head in his hands, tears swirled in his eyes, and his headache seemed to burst.
A pleasant sound of the piano suddenly woke up the person who was immersed in pain, and the young man walked through the sea of flowers with the sound of the piano, every footstep was imprinted on the snow, the memories gradually became clear, and the fragments before being washed away by the torrent gradually returned to his mind.
Walking through the snow all the way to find sounds, in the plum forest, he saw a man in black clothes sitting on the snow and stroking the piano, a slender figure, with his back to him, his fingertips plucking the beautiful sound of the piano, the young man could not bear to interrupt him.
"This son, may I ask which way to go in the direction of Yongzhou City?" When the song was over, the young man asked politely.
"Shaoxia has something to do with Yongzhou City?" The man didn't turn his head, still with his back to him.
"I can't hide it, I was originally from the Chu State Army, and when I went to Yongzhou City, I naturally went back to the barracks" The young man patted the military uniform on his body.
"In the first battle of Southern Chu, Yongcheng Road was broken, and the Southern Army was diverted to Yongzhou" The man said slowly, word by word, but still did not move.
"Thank you, I will say goodbye" The young man bowed his hand, and was about to leave after speaking.
"What do you call a young man?" The man finally got up and turned his head, the silhouette of a handsome man, deep eyes, and a high nose, he looked at the boy.
"In Xia Hanxuan" The young man was fascinated for a while, and he didn't dare to look at him again after saying a word.
"Han Shaoxia, take care" The man sat down slowly and began to stroke the piano again.
"Thank you!" The young man turned to leave, the sound of the piano behind him was melodious, the red plum was like fire, the snow was vast, after he left, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the man looked back to see him disappear far away.
Outside Yongzhou City, Han Xuan sat in a teahouse drinking tea, his military uniform had been replaced by him, all the way over, he tried to piece together the memory, still no memory after the injury, when the arm was obviously hit by an arrow, but after waking up, the injury was healed, leaving only a scar, and the jade that he had been wearing on his neck was gone, The jade that can prove his identity, even if he loses it, without it, anyone will live very well.
He dressed up in disguise, and did not plan to enter the city, now Yongzhou City is in chaos, it is said that a month ago Yongzhou was raided by the southern soldiers, he wanted to stay outside the city to inquire, and after inquiring, he learned that the southern soldiers had invaded Yongzhou City, and now they are stationed in the city, Yongzhou City except for the people who still stay in the city, and all the non-commissioned officers and soldiers retreated to Luocheng, which belongs to the small city of Yongzhou.
Mu Changfeng led his troops out of the city to patrol, passing by the teahouse, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't believe his eyes, how could a dead person appear here?
"Cheng Yingshuai, what's wrong, are there any suspicious characters?" The guard behind him saw Mu Changfeng stop and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"It's okay, you go over there and have a look" Mu Changfeng came back to his senses, finished the order, and when he turned back, there was no longer that person in the teahouse.
Han Xuan hid in the alley, staring at Mu Changfeng for a long time, it seemed that during his absence, this kid had made a lot of contributions and had climbed to the position of battalion commander.
Han Xuan hovered outside the city for a day, when it was getting late, the city gate was about to close, so he hurried into the city, and when he entered the city, he found that the city was full of southern soldiers, and the whole team of southern soldiers patrolled on the road, and he did not stay in the city for long.
After spending the night safely in the temple in the city, the next day, the sky was slightly bright, he rode his horse to Luocheng, he inquired, Ouyang Ling was now in Luocheng, and he hurried a day's journey and finally arrived in Luocheng.
When he arrived in Luocheng, Han Xuan couldn't enter the barracks, he didn't have anything to prove his identity except for the military uniform of the Chu State, in desperation, he could only settle down in the city first, and he could only wait for the opportunity, Ouyang Ling should come out to patrol the city, as long as he saw him.
Arrived at the realm of Chu State, Han Xuan relaxed a lot, the cold and cold on the street, near noon, the people on the street suddenly a commotion, everyone did not understand what happened, only to see a person thrown out of the roadside restaurant, Han Xuan stepped forward to see, the person lying on the ground has been unrecognizable, bleeding from the seven orifices, the death is extremely terrifying, everyone vomited, Han Xuan squatted down and looked carefully, to see that this person was dressed as an officer and soldier, the poison on the body was very peculiar, the whole body was ulcerated, it looked like he had been poisoned for a long time, in fact, this person had just died.
Han Xuan was observing, only to see many colorful poisonous insects coming out of the corpse's eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, as soon as these insects came out, the corpse emitted bursts of black gas, Han Xuan hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand and flashed a few steps back.
A woman walked out of the restaurant, dressed in a gorgeous skirt, with a bewitching figure, as soon as she walked out, she attracted a burst of scolding around her, as soon as the woman looked up, Han Xuan recognized her, it was the girl in green who had seen it once in Yongzhou before.
"Why is she here?" Han Xuan hurriedly turned around and walked into the crowd, Han Xuan hid quietly in the crowd, afraid that she would recognize herself.
"This girl is too ruthless," someone in the crowd began to discuss.
"It's just a matter of disregard for human life," and someone in the crowd was indignant.
"People are General Chen's new love, who dares to mess with them?" When they heard this, they lowered their voices.
"General Chen? In the court, General Chen? How could I not know? Han Xuan watched the woman leave, and the crowd dispersed, and he took out a Chu military order from his sleeve, which he had just borrowed from the corpse.
With the order of the Chu army, you can go back to the barracks, Han Xuan hurriedly left to return to the barracks, after nightfall, Han Xuan returned to the barracks, the former barracks were still guarded by those brothers, but there were two more layers of people under General Chen outside, and the brothers who guarded the barracks saw Han Xuan come back and hurriedly reported to Ouyang Ling.
Knowing that Han Xuan was back, Ouyang Ling rushed out of the tent, looking at Han Xuan with crimson eyes, and could see that he hadn't rested for a long time.
Han Xuan threw himself on the ground and knelt down, bowing his head in shame, Ouyang Ling reached out to pull him up.
"General, the seventh battalion of Han Xuan was reinstated, the seventh battalion of the iron cavalry and the twelfth battalion of the infantry were unfortunately hit when chasing the enemy, and the whole battalion was destroyed, and Han Xuan returned to the camp to receive the punishment" Han Xuan knelt on the ground and did not move.
"Han Xuan, defeat is a common thing in the army, this is not your fault, that day, you voluntarily asked for orders to bring hundreds of men and horses to chase the enemy, and saved tens of thousands of defenders of Yongzhou, which can be regarded as a meritorious achievement" Ouyang Ling pulled Han Xuan up.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back" Ouyang Ling patted Han Xuan's shoulder excitedly.
