Chapter 8 When the Storm Rises
The war at the border pass was endless, and the two sides were evenly matched, and the fighting was back and forth.
Border
A man in military uniform hurried into the tent.
"Tell the prince, the hussar general marched day and night, smashed the lair of the Yue clan, most of the people surrendered, including Wu Xuan, the left leader of the Yue clan, and some people ran out of the encirclement."
Jiang Wangye, who was looking at the map, raised his head, and he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Bring Wu Xuan to see me!" ”
Immediately, a big man with a beard was brought into the tent. His face was expressionless, and a pair of eyes like sharp swords stared straight at Jiang Wangye.
"Look at what, don't kneel down for the prince yet!" The soldiers who escorted him reprimanded.
"Stand down." Jiang Wang Ye ordered.
"Yes."
Wu Xuan was still motionless, and Jiang Wang Ye stepped forward quickly and untied the rope in his hand.
Wu Xuan snorted coldly and pushed him away, "Don't give me this set, you Central Plains people are the best at hiding knives in laughter." Kill or chop whatever you want! ”
"You're mistaken." Jiang Wang Ye said calmly. "Since you lunarians have come back and started wars. The rod is four years at a beat. ”
Wu Xuan pulled a chair and sat down, looking at him coldly.
"In the past four years, the people on both sides have suffered greatly from the war..."Wu Xuan slapped his chair: "I! You're preaching me? ”
"You're mistaken again." Jiang Wang Ye smiled, and he paced in front of Wu Xuan. Leaning forward, he approached Wu Xuan, his wolf-sharp eyes narrowed slightly.
He said, "It's because of hatred, because of the massacre that night thirteen years ago, right?" After that night, you attacked countless times, but you won less and lost more. After all these years, you still have undiminished hatred. ”
Wu Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he pounced on him and shouted, "I'm going to kill you!" ”
The Jiang family's mansion was busy early today, and the little guys were waiting at the door to report the latest news.
"Madam, the prince and his party have already arrived at the corner of the street." A small guy entered the hall to pray.
"Let's go, let's go outside the mansion to greet the prince." The princess immediately got up, her face happy. Mingrou and Lushang followed the princess, Jiang Zhencheng couldn't help but run out, the second aunt and Mingjuan walked together, and Ming Chu was alone behind.
The maids stood on both sides, and everyone couldn't help but be happy. "The prince has won the battle again, and the moon people who once dominated Mobei are now completely cleaned up by the prince."
The two little guys exchanged ears: "I heard that a big leader was also captured." ”
The people of the capital welcomed the streets, and the streets were full of people. Jiang Wangye hugged his fists all the way to thank him, and only when he turned around until the street corner gradually quieted down.
The sound of horses' hooves came from the sound of "da-da", and Jiang Wangye sat on a black horse, Jiang Zhenning and Wu Xuan, who were also riding horses, on the left and right, followed by dozens of Jiang Wangye's cronies.
Jiang Wang Ye turned over and dismounted, and the princess stepped forward: "Wang Ye, you have worked hard" Jiang Zhenyuan jumped over from nowhere and hugged Jiang Wang Ye. "Daddy, Zhenyuan misses you so much."
Jiang Wang Ye smiled loudly and looked around. Standing next to Madame is Mingrou, and to the left is Mingjuan.
"Why don't you see the beginning of the Ming Dynasty?" He quietly turned his gaze and said with a smile: "Let's go, go into the mansion." Jiang Zhenyuan looked at Wu Xuan curiously, not knowing where this beard came from.
Wu Xuan entered Beijing this time to meet the emperor and show his sincerity in submission. The war lasted too long, no one could stand it, and he couldn't afford to take care of the people of the Yue clan for his own personal grudges.
Jiang Wangye respected him as a hero, treated him as a guest, and allowed him to move around the mansion at will.
In the afternoon, Prince Jiang entered the palace to meet the emperor and played the matter of Wu Xuan's request to see. Wu Xuan was accompanied by Li Chang to visit around the house. Jiang Zhenyuan is like a little tail, following Wu Xuan to ask east and west.
"Bearded, why did you surrender?"
"What do you know about a little kid? Flash aside, be careful I punch you. Wu Xuan said viciously.
Jiang Zhenyuan ran in front of him and shouted: "You are my father's defeated subordinate, so I am not afraid of you." Wu Xuan snorted: "Rabbit cub, Lao Tzu respects Jiang Wangye, and he is not as knowledgeable as you." ”
"My third son, you go play elsewhere, okay?" Li Chang persuaded. Jiang Zhenyuan flicked his sleeves and deliberately went to Wu Xuan: "Jiang Wang's Mansion is the home of my third son, why do I have to stay here?" ”
Wu Xuan pushed him away impatiently: "Hufu dog, annoying." ”
At this time, they happened to walk through the Taiqing Pond, it was the middle of summer, the lotus flowers were in full bloom, and the lotus leaves were infinitely blue.
Wu Xuan's thrust was not small, and Jiang Zhenyuan almost fell into the lake. Li Chang warned him in a low voice: "The third young master must not make another mistake, otherwise Li Chang will tell the prince truthfully." ”
Jiang Zhenyuan pouted and stopped talking, he was already a fifteen-year-old boy, not as arrogant as he was when he was a child.
Wu Xuan continued to wander, walking the path through the garden, and there was a courtyard behind it. Wu Xuan asked, "Who lives there?" ”
"It's Miss Five's residence."
Wu Xuan came closer, and the wisteria on the west wall gave people a sense of tranquility, and Wu Xuan's gaze swept leisurely.
In the courtyard, the corner of the wall is full of wild flowers, the ancient plane trees are green and straight, the pavilions are like a cover, the branches of the plane trees are staggered, and the top is full of green plane leaves.
On the highest branch, a round face suddenly poked out. She wears a cloud-sleeved shirt and a light blue mist skirt, her lips are not pointed, her eyebrows are not painted, and she smiles with the unique delicate agility of a girl.
She was looking at the horizon in fascination.
At the end of the sunset, the sky is a faint purple-red, orange-red from under the clouds, large colorful clouds slowly float and gather, and suddenly the sunset is full of the western sky.
The sunset is sinking little by little, and the clouds in the western sky are like raging flames, and the afterglow is endless.
"The breeze is drunk with the sunset, and the sunset is infinitely better. The ancients were honest and did not deceive me. Ming Chu was amazed.
In the sunset, her face was flushed, as gorgeous as the sunset. She took out the flute of the first moon from her cuff and played it slowly. The flute sounded melodious, and it was blown far away by the wind.
Yuewu, who was fetching water, looked up at her. It's been four years, and she's learned how to play. I always like to sit in the plane tree and watch the sunset while playing the flute.
The three people outside the courtyard were also attracted by the sound of the flute and followed the sound. They saw a figure among the leafy leaves.
Wu Xuan took two steps to the side, and when he really saw the person in the tree, his whole body froze in place, and a blank appeared in his mind, and then those long-ago memories burst open one by one.
He clenched his fists, his chest heaving violently. Everyone heard him shout.
"Danruo!"
