43. Solace
Chaofeng upstairs suddenly Zhong Xin's voice, nine long and five short. Reveal the arrival of the royal envoys. There was a sudden solemnity downstairs. The crows did not smell. Only the bright voice of the celebrant instructed everyone to bow and worship the envoys who had traveled all the way.
A general with a black horse and white tassels. Suddenly he grabbed the reins and let the horse stop at the front of the procession, and others saw that he was straight, resting and strong, and the whole person stood upright like a beautiful pine village. People are so far away from Qiao Simei that they can't see their faces clearly. Just standing on a high place and looking at it from a distance, it already makes people feel oppressive and infarcted.
Qiao Siyuan's voice sounded behind him, with a hint of importance, "Sister, is that the King of Mingjun?" "The last time King Mingjun was in the carriage, they couldn't see their faces. This time, King Mingjun was in the moment, but they were on a high building. I could only see that the man was dressed in dark iron armor. Glittering in the sun, scorching cold. It only seems that there is a hot and fierce brilliance on his body. Invisibly, people are forced to have nothing to hide.
The envoy read the holy edict aloud, and the king of Mingjun took the edict with both hands. Raise your arms high. In the room, the trendy iron riders all let out the earth-shattering sound of three long live. Ringing through the sky. Shake the inside of the door.
The army has passed for a long time, and Qiao Siyuan is still stunned and comes back to his senses. Qiao Siwan saw the difference in his eyes and took the teacup from Hongyu's hand. Hand it to him with his own hands.
Qiao Siyuan was unusual. Without saying a word, he silently looked at the empty city gates. The teacup in his hand is clenched. The knuckles are faintly white.
His heart was inexplicably different. It seems to be confused and it seems to be leaping again. I've never tasted like this. Qiao Siwan called softly: "Siyuan? Siyuan? "I screamed a few times in a row. Qiao Siyuan suddenly woke up. came back to his senses, "What's the matter, sister?" ”
What's the matter, you don't even know where the running god has gone. Qiao Siwan smiled and shook her head. Qiao Siyuan blushed unbeautifully.
"What are you talking about?" Zhang's mother helped Li out from behind the screen. Qiao Siwan smiled and went up to hold her: "Grandmother is awake?" ”
"It's so noisy in there. How to sleep. Just close your eyes and rest. Siyuan. How can you see it in a different way? Lee looked amused. That look clearly meant that Qiao Siyuan was still a child. When he loves to watch passionately.
"Grandmother. It was the first time I had caught a glimpse of such a pomp, and the mighty army seemed to be trendy. The armor is shiny. The knife is hard to carve, and there is another. The leading King of Mingjun is serious and majestic. It's so majestic. Manly husband. You should be like him! Qiao Siyuan sighed. The face was stuffed with a happy color. "I thought, if only I could play on the field, be a majestic striker!"
Li was stunned. Suddenly laughed: "You kid, he went to the south to touch it, that's not a fun thing." ”
"I didn't say it was fun! I just think. As a man. If you can't go out on the battlefield for the country and the people like him, you have no intention! Qiao Siyuan said noisily.
"What's wrong with those things that cost people's lives, you are really-" Li Shi muttered and stared at Qiao Siyuan, but Qiao Siyuan was obsessive, "Grandmother, if you live in the world without doing anything all your life, it is better to die a resurgence on the battlefield!" ”
When I heard Qiao Siyuan say this. Qiao Siwan, who was listening to them with a smile in a row. The smile slowly gathered. She quietly examined her brother. In a vain attempt to find evidence of a temporary bulge in his face,. She knew Qiao Siyuan too well, this kid. There is often a burning obsession in his heart, a passion that no one can stop. She didn't expect it. It was the army out of the city. It provoked so many thoughts from him!
"The eldest young master, don't intimidate the slaves and maids, I heard that the southern barbarians kill people like hemp", Zhang's mother pressed her heart. His expression was full of disgust and surprise. Li shook his head. "It's more than murder. Those people are horrible, I heard that they are eight feet tall, have long hair, kidnap people everywhere, set fires, and even drink human blood! King Mingjun may not be able to win and return with this go. I don't even know if I can return safely."
"So what! Grandmother, when a boy dies in the wilderness, why not donate his life. It's better than lying in bed and dying in the midst of children and women! Qiao Siyuan actually interrupted Li's words. Her eyes sparkled, shining with a color that Qiao Siwan had never seen before.
Li Shi frowned and said. "Amitabha. Children are really ignorant, and the killing on the battlefield is too heavy, which violates the way of benevolence, if it is stained with blood. He will go to hell in the future. ”
Qiao Siyuan was still uneasy: "What is benevolence? Now the southern barbarians are rebelling and killing how many civilians and common people I have. Could it be that we say Amitabha twice. Will they put down their swords? Only when the iron horsemen of the Great Calendar Dynasty stepped into the south, they drove out this group of people. Tame them, the beacon fire ability pauses, and the common people have the ability to be leisurely! ”
Lee was taken aback. Road. "Siyuan. What's wrong with you. Talk nonsense! What do you know about kingdom events? Little children's families. How to speak closed. It's all killing,"
Qiao Siyuan's white jade-like little face turned red: "What I said is not nonsense!" Grandmother, you don't know at all. Even if you want to kill 1,000 people or 10,000 people, it is for the country and the people. It's also a matter of social merit! The soldiers at the front fought bloodily and stained the frontier with blood. We have the ability to enjoy peace here. Otherwise, grandmother, can you still go to incense in peace, and you can still speak here. Isn't it good to say killing? ”
"Siyuan! How to talk to your grandmother! Qiao Siwan frowned, and her voice was soft. But the rhetoric became stricter.
Qiao Siyuan hung his head and was silent, although he had a strong personality. But in front of my sister, there was never a word of disobedience.
"How old are you. Read your book well, peace and security is a blessing, what is the field? What is fighting for the country, none of this has anything to do with you. Li saw him hang his head. I thought he knew he was wrong. Showing a slight satisfaction, he spoke slowly.
Qiao Siwan saw that Li's expression eased, and hurriedly smiled, "My brother is joking, grandmother doesn't pay attention to him, he is just a child, what does he understand!" ”
Qiao Siyuan was stunned, and wanted to say something, but Qiao Siwan glanced at him coldly, and all the words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.
Zhang's mother helped Li get into the carriage first. The housekeeper goes to the accounting room to settle the bill. Qiao Siwan sat in the private room, and Qiao Siyuan took the gap to grab her hand. Look at her. "Sister. …。 ”
"What did you say, did you forget all the things I reported to you? Do you feel that your life is too comfortable now? Sure enough, I dare to talk back to my grandmother in public! Qiao Siwan said coldly, her expression was unprecedentedly indifferent.
"Sister, are you angry with Siyuan? It's me who is bad. I shouldn't have spoken to my grandmother in that tone, and it made you worry too. ”“。” Qiao Siyuan has always admired Qiao Siwan the most. He didn't care if others were angry or angry. The only sorrow Qiao Siwan was a little unhappy. Now he looked at Qiao Siwan cowardly. The most frightened.
Qiao Siwan sighed, looked at this younger brother who had gradually drawn up in stature, and slowly showed a handsome young spirit, and said, "Sister will never be angry with you." It's just that you know that your grandmother believes in Buddhism, and she doesn't like to hear about it. What are you making noise with her? It's you who wins. What can be changed? Just make her think you're ignorant! ”
Qiao Siyuan was stunned for a moment, and his eyebrows and eyes swelled with a look of grievance. pursed his lips, but said strongly: "My sister said that she wanted me to be a simple person." Can't you tell the truth? Grandmother's set is completely wrong, if you are desperate for pleasure. Who will protect the common people. Who will protect the kingdom! When I grow up. I also want to be like King Mingjun. Go to the line of fire and fight bloodily. Fight for the country! ”
Qiao Siwan didn't speak. Looking at him directly, that strange look made Qiao Siyuan really a little frightened: "Sister." You don't listen to me either, do you? ”
"Nope. My sister keeps thinking you're a child. Before you know it, you already have a mind. The corners of Qiao Siwan's lips pulled into a smile, and her voice was gentle. She answered him. The eyes are deep, and there seems to be some vagueness. "Before my mother died. The last thing I can put down is you, and it would be nice if she could hear you say that with her own ears. It's just, Knight's Heart. She half vomited and half swallowed. His expression was sad and he closed his eyes and was silent. If Qiao Siyuan was to choose, he would be willing to listen to Qiao Siwan's reprimand. I didn't want to see my sister sad
He hadn't figured out how to go about it yet. Qiao Siwan suddenly spoke. "Ever since you were a child, you were an obedient child and rarely made loud noises with people. The less courageous it is to speak out. That's what happened to me. My sister will also support you. ”
"Thank you, sister!" Qiao Siyuan intuitively felt that Qiao Siwan actually didn't approve of the view. Far-fetched laugh. Pretended to look at her relaxed.
Really. Qiao Siwan quickly smiled. The vision is profound and complex. There is a faint color of pain in the pity", it is one thing to support you, you must know that my sister is like my grandmother, I hope you are safe and happy. Even if there is no merit, there is no fame. There is no status. It doesn't matter, you're healthy and safe. That's it. ”
Qiao Siyuan looked at Qiao Siwan in a daze, speechless.
Qiao Siwan lowered her eyes and smiled, and said a little lonely, "I am willing that you will never know your worries, and you will be as innocent as a child." One day, you're going to grow up too. Grow wings and leave my care! ”
Qiao Siyuan was speechless. But my heart tightened.
Qiao Siwan looked him directly into the eyes, and her voice carried a chill: "If one day, what you have to do."
Sister is different. risking death to stop you, will you still do it",
"How so? How could I do something that upsets my sister! "I want to make my sister happy with all my heart, how can I do it even when I know that my sister hates it! Qiao Siyuan's heart was shocked, his fingertips were cold, countless motives flashed, but his mind was a mess.
"Reply to me." Qiao Siwan didn't allow him to hesitate.
Joss looked at her and said cautiously, "No." I don't want to ruin my sister's fun. ”
Qiao Siwan's eyes were as deep as water. "If my sister wants you to say that you will stay out of danger for the rest of your life, and abandon those motives for meritorious service. Live honestly by my sister's side! ”
Qiao Siyuan was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to reply. Why. I want to make meritorious contributions, but I also want to fight for my sister and my dead mother. Why did my sister show such a lonely expression? Why coffee".
Because of the unpleasantness just now, Qiao Siyuan was worried that the Li family would be deaf again. simply ran to the back carriage and sat down, and only Qiao Siwan accompanied Li in the carriage in front.
