Chapter 42: Ten Years of Meeting
"Give me back the bamboo slips!" Ling Mo followed behind the man in black, watching the man in black in front of him tap his toes and jump out a few feet away from the roof of the house.
"Hehe, the wind is coming." The man in black stopped on the roof and chuckled, his voice was good.
"If you can catch up, then come on." After the man in black left a word, he jumped and disappeared.
"It's gone again, this man in black's light skills are quite fast, and it is estimated that he has a fight with the Blue Winged Bat King or Chu Liuxiang.
Hey, what is it? How is it under my feet? Ling Mo had just taken a step and noticed something under his feet.
"Ink lock bamboo slips? Why are you here? Could it be that the man in black found out that it was a fake, so he threw it away? I don't understand, let's go back and see Erheng first. Ling Mo carried the bamboo slip in his arms and used light skills to fly back.
When she returned to the place where Ye Yongheng was injured again, it was already empty.
Ling Mo wanted to look for Ye Yongheng everywhere, she jumped onto the wall of Mowang's Mansion, and wanted to condescendingly look for him, but she didn't expect to meet a pair of patrolling guards, and suddenly a group of guards came to surround her.
Ling Mo jumped off the wall.
"Bold thief, don't hurry up and catch him." The leader of the elder seemed to be a guard chief, holding a wide sword and pointing at Ling Mo, and said menacingly.
"See His Royal Highness King Mo!" On the street next to it, a tall and straight figure dressed in dark yellow walked past the guards on both sides, and the soldiers immediately saluted in unison and shouted loudly.
"You! Are you the King of Strangers? "Erheng is the king of Mo, where is the real magic empty? Don't...... Is that the man in black just now?! Ling Mo thought silently in her heart.
"It's me, I'm Mowang, I'm sorry, I've been hiding it from you." Ye Yongheng coughed lightly and said with some embarrassment.
Ling Mo looked at the person in front of him seriously, and he really deserved to be the prince, this is full of momentum.
"I definitely didn't mean to tease you, I was hiding my identity, but all the things we experienced together were all my sincere, we used to live and die together, and we already had an extraordinary relationship, didn't we?" There was affection in Ye Yongheng's eyes, and his voice was much gentler.
"Are we acquainted? You are the prince, I am just an ordinary person, don't say it so affectionately, in fact, I really have no other feelings for you, I'm sorry, I still have something, thank you for giving me bamboo slips, then I'll leave first. Ling Mo arched his hand and took two steps forward, preparing to leave here.
"Don't leave without an order from Your Highness!" The leader of the guards blocked Ling Mo's path with his sword.
"Don't be rude!" Ye Yongheng had a chill in his eyes, glared at the commander of the guards, and said sharply.
"You see that the gap between us is so big, and I really don't have feelings for you, we just have a few faces!" Ling Mo tried his best to put himself and his position very clearly, so as not to be misunderstood by the other party.
"I ...... I see. Ye Yongheng leaned sideways, his eyes darkened.
Ling Mo arched his hand past everyone and walked towards the Yanyu Building where he lived on the other side of the street.
By this time, the moon had risen high in the sky, and it was already the middle of the night, when suddenly it began to rain in the sky.
"It's raining, I'll send you!" Behind him, Ye Yongheng shouted while running with an umbrella.
"Don't bother His Royal Highness King Mo." Ling Mo turned around and said indifferently.
"Something seems wrong, someone is following us!" Ling Mo suddenly felt that something was wrong, and noticed that someone seemed to be peeping in the dark.
"What people! Come out! Ye Yongheng looked at the place in the dark and let out a loud sigh, and the momentum on his body changed suddenly.
Several assassins dressed in black popped out of the darkness, Ye Yongheng protected Ling Mo behind him, and quickly eliminated the assassins after a few back and forth.
"Are you okay, I was careless, I didn't expect these assassins to come here and do it!" Ye Yongheng put away his sword, looked at Ling Mo and said.
"I'm fine, are you the ones in the secret tunnel?" Ling Mo looked at the outfit of this group of people who were very similar to those in the secret passage, and the aura on their bodies was also very similar.
Ye Yongheng nodded.
"By the way, did you have any plans to deliver food to the dock in the middle of the night?" Ling Mo suddenly received it, and the task was immediately asked.
"I'm going to see an old friend, would you like to come with me?" When he spoke, his voice was a little insufficient, as if the sharpness and chic of his usual days had disappeared, and the whole person seemed a little low.
Ling Mo nodded and followed him, walking towards the dock.
came to a gallery, there were soldiers guarding the gallery, and Ye Yongheng saluted very respectfully.
Ye Yongheng set the food sent by Xiangjinyuan on the table next to the window next to the boat, and took out a pot of wine and filled the wine glass.
"You asked your friend to be here?" Ling Mo looked left and right, there was no one at all, could it be that the person was late.
Ye Yongheng didn't answer, poured a glass of wine, and poured it into the lake from the window reflecting the glittering moonlight.
The moonlight gently sprinkled on the lake, and the two of them sat on the boat, looking out from the very wide window, and the wind gently blew Ye Yongheng's hair.
The moonlight was sprinkled on the window recklessly, and the shadows of the two were stretched for a long time.
Looking at this scene, Ling Mo seemed to understand a little, and made up for it, it turned out that the current task was to listen to other people's stories.
There are melons to eat, Ling Mo said that she was very happy, but she still made a quiet look on her face.
He poured another glass of wine, and spilled two glasses, three glasses.
"My friend, Renzhao, he has passed away, and I meet him every year on this day to eat the best food in Kyoto, drink the best wine, and see the bustling ...... of Kyoto together" After speaking, he poured another glass of wine, raised his head and drank it, as if he was in Yan's thick and indissoluble thoughts and sorrows.
This sad scene seemed to be infectious, and Ling Mo also looked at the lake quietly, her thoughts as if she were drifting far away.
"Renzhao, I brought you the bamboo leaves you used to drink the most, and I brought you your favorite dishes, you can taste it well, and you also want to ...... this prosperous Kyoto" Before he finished speaking, his voice suddenly became choked, and the breeze blew gently, and he looked at the lake and was silent for a long time.
He may have thought of reminiscing freely with his friend Renzhao.
Oh, yes! The world is impermanent, Ling Mo sighed, it has been more than 5 years since she came to this world, almost 6 years, and she is recalling the scene when she first came.
In the streets of Kyoto, you can sometimes hear the classics that you copied by yourself.
In the same moonlight, the people who are bathing, try to ask who is sad, the non-existent party is scattered, is it not to wake up from the old dream?
Can I go back? The chances of returning home after the crossing are almost slim.
There is no way to meet the people of the old times again, so I can only look at the bright moon and send my full thoughts.
Time is like water, the moonlight is like a shuttle, in the blink of an eye, the taste of the years is long overdue.
Ten days without mercy. We are also changing in the turn of time, getting old, thinking can cross thousands of rivers and mountains, and can travel through the reincarnation of the sun and the moon.
When time does not end, the years are still going on, maybe the attachment to her hometown can be across the mountains and rivers, you can also look through the autumn water, you can be separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, only the scenery of her hometown can also make her miss tossing and turning.
Time never stops, after coming for so long, think about the past life, as if it is a thousand years away, and then think about the current appearance, as if it is a lifetime away.
Ling Mo was silent, looking at the sparkling lake, and thought for a long time.
"Why did you come here to pay your respects to him?" Ling Mo came back to her senses, and when she saw Ye Yongheng's sad appearance, she couldn't help but ask.
"He was executed for treason, and although I knew that he had been framed by others, I couldn't save him without evidence, so I could only watch him ...... I want to see him, and I can only come secretly. Ye Yongheng was full of powerlessness at this moment.
"He's my friend, I'm his confidant, I'm also my teacher, I wouldn't be where I am today without him, the first time I had dinner with him, it was the same as when I met you, but at that time he introduced me to all kinds of food, and I was hungry and cooing." Ye Yongheng seemed to think of that time, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
"It turns out that there are so many memories of you in this." Ling Mo thought of the first time she met him, and also thought of having dinner with him in Xiangjin Garden, and at that time she thought he was a liar who cheated on eating and drinking.
"Actually, there was a moment when I was with you, and I thought I was back in my youth, when I was only eighteen years old and just coming of age.
I had just come down from the battlefield, and I was a little lost and didn't know why I was there.
Because of that meal, I understood that there was food, wine, prosperity, and the people and things that I cherished in this world.
I don't want to watch the people I love lose their lives because of the war, because of the war.
Therefore, I and my soldiers put on armor and go into battle on the battlefield, I want to protect the world, I want the war of this world to end because of me, I want this country to prosper because of me, and the people I want to protect can only laugh.
Later I found the answer, and that's why I'm there. The light in Ye Yongheng's eyes at this time seemed to be more dazzling than the bright moon in the sky.
Ling Mo was shocked, it can be said that he was very shocked, I didn't expect him to have such great ambitions, I couldn't imagine that he had the world in mind, it seemed that he had misjudged him before, how could a person like this tease a dog and walk a bird, look for flowers and ask willows.
Ling Mo suddenly thought of a sentence.
From now on, be a relieved person.
Smile forward and talk about the past and the present.
From now on, show off your personality and talent.
The heart is like the world, the mind is the world,
From now on, bury the sad very carefully.
He is a man who has a heart for the world and fraternity.
If you have a heart of fraternity, you will be able to hold the world.
He might be well suited to be an emperor.
sighed, it's a pity that he doesn't have such lofty ideals as him, so they are destined to be people of two worlds.
What palace fighting house fight is not interested, and you can't earn a man with a bunch of women.
As the saying goes, if a person doesn't have a dream, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?
If there is no life without dreams like a salted fish, then I want to be such a salted fish.
No one has a rule that all people have to live a wonderful, extraordinary life, everyone can choose their own life, and I decided to live a peaceful and ordinary life.
I don't set too high ideals for myself, and I don't put too much pressure on myself.
If you say that you have a dream, it's naturally a good thing, but if you don't have a dream, you won't force it, and living without a dream is actually quite good, at least you don't have to think about anything.
Some people like a life full of ups and downs and climaxes, and such a life is certainly very exciting.
But not everyone likes it, she would rather have a dull life, so that she can live her life comfortably, and such a stable and ordinary life is not bad.
There is nothing wrong with doing nothing and being a part of the vast sea of people, which is plain and unremarkable.
is like this for a lifetime of honest and plain, a thousand times the same life, ten years as a day, such a life is her pursuit.
Enjoy the food, enjoy such a salted fish life, I am the same salted fish as me.
She just wants to be a salted fish, and she just wants to live a leisurely life in this other world.
"I heard that King Mo was sought after, I thought it was because of power, but now I think I was wrong, everything you have adhered to, what you have paid for, is worthy of admiration, I am honored to know you." Ling Mo felt that he was the real dazzle at this moment.
This kind of him is simply a world of difference from himself, and he doesn't want to come to him.
"It's my honor, Ren Zhao, after the death of the rebellion, I no longer have any friends who can be trusted, everyone is false to me, only you, even when you reject me, you are sincere." Ye Yongheng smiled lightly, as if he had returned to his youth, talking to his bosom friend.
Maybe he is only a temporary novelty to himself, he still has a long way to go, maybe he will become a very good emperor, which is completely different from his own life.
There is no need for the two who can't be hooked at all.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and looked up in the distance, quietly looking at the bright moonlight and everything in this prosperous Kyoto......
I don't know how long it took for me to come back to my senses.
"It's getting late, it's time for me to go." Ling Mo looked at Ye Yongheng and stood up.
"Wait." Ye Yongheng stood up and called Ling Mo, the wind swept across the lake and gently blew the hem of his clothes, and the moonlight gently caressed his face, lining the smile on his face more gently.
"Wait, I still owe you money for food, Kyoto is so big, where am I going to find you after we separate? Why don't we meet for 10 years and go to Xiangjin Garden? Ye Yongheng smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, his face was like jade in the moonlight.
“?” Why meet in 10 years? Isn't it okay to give it now? Why are you in all this trouble? Ling Mo looked at his jade-like face and didn't ask, thinking that maybe he just wanted to keep a thought.
"Okay, then we'll see you in 10 years!" Ling Mo thought about it and didn't refuse his proposal, 10 years later...... I really don't know what it will be like back then.
