Chapter 33: Farewell
The people who set off the fireworks are about the best in the family, and all kinds of fireworks greet the sky playfully, attracting waves of people to raise their heads and let out exclamations.
Tang Feng admired the fireworks in front of him, and his thoughts were involuntarily pulled to the scene of living in the palace before he was eight years old. The New Year in southern Xinjiang is not at the same time as the Great Xia Dynasty, and their New Year is in spring, when the grass grows and the warbler flies. The tradition in the palace is not to set off fireworks or eat dumplings, but to fly kites, and they are kites tied with their own hands. If whoever flies the farthest kite in the New Year's competition must be the most face-saving person in the whole year.
When she was eight years old, her father accompanied her to tie the kite, even though he was already anxious about state affairs at that time, but in order not to disappoint his little daughter, and in order for her to be able to raise her little chest and be a person throughout the year, he still accompanied her to tie the kite for an afternoon. It was a proud tiger, with a long tail, and as soon as it flew into the sky, it was distinguished from the others.
"You see, Fengyu's kite is actually a big tiger, or a red, green, red and green big tiger!" The four royal brothers gathered everyone to look at the sky, as if they were amazed that the tiger could actually go to the sky.
"Wow, the tail is so long......" the little cousin sighed in surprise.
"It's a big one, much bigger than my eagle!"
"But it's a little weird, this color scheme is too messy......"
"Look, does the tiger have a pair of wings on its back?"
Everyone talked about this only a little ugly but very huge tiger kite, although they knew that it was the king with Feng Yu, but they still couldn't help but attack her aesthetics. The children laughed mercilessly at Feng Yu, but the latter was not affected in the slightest, and she even shook her head there proudly.
Knowing that her kite can't fly Brother and Sister Wang, she is also very satisfied to attract everyone's attention. As for the competition, when she grows to their age, she will naturally come out on top. This was a little calculation she made at the time, a bit of a sword off-edge, but the result was quite satisfactory, at least everyone remembered that the big tiger with wings and ugly flying in the sky was hers.
Not long after the New Year, the army of Great Xia came, and the country and the family were gone. The four royal brothers, who were pointing at her big kite, were stabbed to death in the dormitory, and the little cousin who envied her with the biggest kite was hacked to death with a knife in the process of escorting, and she couldn't even get together the whole corpse. There are other siblings...... No one survived but her.
There was a wetness on my cheeks, and I hadn't thought about the past for a long time, and I couldn't help it for a while. She propped her head over the guards and silently wiped it off with the back of her hand.
There are too many impermanences in life, and if she knew that it was the last time their siblings would compete in a kite flying, she should have competed openly, instead of playing her own cleverness.
Brilliant fireworks burst out in front of you, and after a moment of color, a silent night sky was left behind.
"Master, the prince is here." Little Gold lowered her voice.
The traces of crying were too obvious, she simply picked up the hood and put it on, and suddenly the light in front of her dimmed by two points.
Feng Xianji didn't expect that it would be so difficult to walk on the street on the fifteenth, and he made an appointment, but unfortunately he was still late for a stick of incense.
He pushed the door in, and the guards naturally retreated. With him, the master couldn't be safer.
"Why are you still wearing a hat in the house?" He sat across from the tea table, turned his head to look at her, and asked, a little confused.
Tang Feng played with the empty teacup and said calmly, "Be careful." ”
Feng Xianji glanced at the opposite side with an unobstructed view, then looked at the room, and asked sincerely, "Is it me who you are careful of?" He was the only one who could see her, with a single and clear goal, and he had to ask more.
Tang Feng "......"
"Ahem." Sensing her unhappiness, he returned to the topic with interest, and said, "Tomorrow is the battle, there are still many things to discuss tonight, you asked me out just to drink tea and feel the atmosphere of the next New Year's Festival, right?" ”
"You...... Ready to plan? ”
She didn't say it too clearly, but he understood.
Feng Xianji chuckled, lifted the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea, and wanted to pour her a cup too, but she waved her hand to indicate that she didn't need to.
"It's hard to disobey your fate."
"You'd better have your own plans." She didn't have King Tiri, because she couldn't have betrayed Xu Er. But he didn't want to see Feng Xianji being used as a knife envoy, although he was by no means such a life to be slaughtered.
Feng Xianji guessed that she might know something, but he didn't ask very sensibly. He didn't want to make things too complicated, after all, he only fancied her as a person, not her identity, not the forces behind her.
"I ......," she said hesitantly, trying to tell him that perhaps she would have left the capital by the time he returned. But she has always been a loner, and she bears all the decisions she makes, and she is not used to telling others what she wants to do for a while.
"Huh?" He raised an eyebrow at her, and although it was only a shadowy face, he didn't mind painting her expression in his heart.
"Are you leaving?" Seeing that she was rarely swallowing, he threw out the answer in his heart.
"Yes."
"Where to go?" He approved of her leaving the capital for the time being, but he had to know her whereabouts.
Tang Feng pursed his lips and tightened his hand holding the teacup. Feng Xianji saw her white fingertips and snorted lightly, "It's okay if you don't tell me, Lei Du will follow you." ”
"That's what I'm going to say." She let go of her grip on the cup and looked at him through the veil, "He can't follow me after leaving the capital. ”
"Why?" His face visibly changed.
Tang Feng rarely had such a complicated experience, he didn't want him to misunderstand that he was not worried about him, but he did have something to hide from him.
"I want to live in seclusion, I don't want to live this kind of life of figuring out people's hearts and deceiving me."
"I've been, I just need to know you're safe."
It doesn't make sense. Tang Feng decided to give up, anyway, she would have a way to get rid of Lei Du when the time came.
Feng Xianji saw that she was no longer silent, so he could naturally guess what she had calculated. Neither of them was thorough, but both were insistent.
"Bang bang bang-"
Outside the fireworks lit up again, lighting up the night sky once again.
Tang Feng turned his head to look, and unexpectedly, Feng Xianji raised his hand, the hat fell to the ground, and even the hair that she had pulled was scattered.
Her astonished gaze followed the hat, her long hair like a waterfall, but the next moment her body fell into one of his broad, warm chests.
She seemed to be startled by this change, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and looked at him in a daze. This kind of look, if he can bear it, he is not a man!
It was obviously the second kiss, but she was already familiar with the smell of his body, and even familiar with his familiar and unreasonable kissing method. Closing her eyes, she could hear the heartbeat coming from his chest.
Domineering, powerful.
Feng Xianji knew that he couldn't imprison this woman, and he never wanted to trap her in a world and let her wait for her husband to come back like someone else's wife. Let her fly, isn't it the vigorous and high-spirited appearance that attracts her? Especially those eyes, when they are cold, they are like frost flowers, and when they are warm, they are like a flame, charming and unconscious.
"Wherever you go, remember I'm still waiting for you." Her lips and tongue intertwined, she put her arms around his neck and gasped unevenly, and he whispered in her ear.
There was a momentary illusion, Tang Feng felt that he could stay by his side, and he was worth it. She shouldn't be emotionally attached to anyone, but Feng Xianji seems to be an exception.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the army of Zhengxi left the capital.
Xu Er sneaked to Xiaoling and told Tang Feng to leave the capital quickly, and King Rui was afraid that he would have to do it before the end of the first month.
"Mutiny, where did his soldiers come from?" This is where Tang Feng has always wondered. King Rui's fiefdom was far away, and because of the deliberate snub of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xian, it was almost impossible for him to privately garrison troops.
"Zeng Jiang, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and Abudu, the commander of the forbidden army, have already defected to King Rui, and it is not a problem for him to control the defense of the capital."
"Zeng Jiang is okay, he is not a loyal person. But Abu even took refuge in King Rui? Tang Feng frowned. Abu was the commander of the forbidden army promoted by the first emperor at that time, loyal and courageous, brave and strategic, and did not seem to be a person who could be bought.
"You may not know that Abu's wife is the sister of Princess Rui." Xu Erdao.
Tang Feng was stunned for a moment, thinking of the gentle and obedient Princess Rui, did she also support her husband's mutiny?
"I even have times when I look away." Tang Feng sighed helplessly. She always thought that a woman like Princess Rui should be a good and elegant thing, and she should disdain these things about power and status.
"There are few women in the world who don't want their husbands to pay homage to the prime minister, and if a man is more productive, it is not impossible to be a queen mother." Xu Er chuckled, and seemed to have seen through human nature.
Tang Feng was no longer entangled in this, but remembered what method he should use to get out. Although she has stayed away from the political center, the little emperor wants to avenge her mother, and he looks at this filial piety tomb very closely, Tang Feng wants to go out, but if she really wants to leave, she can't sneak away, and her reputation is too ugly.
