Chapter 60 Tired birds love the old forest, pond fish think about the old abyss
Busy for half a life but eventually return to the beginning, you and I are all travelers in the world, and we must return to the roots like fallen leaves, because the homeland took root in the original you.
The tears on the pavilion master's face were clear and bright, and she slowly squatted down and stroked General Tong's cheek with her cold fingers, or the wind on the side of the battle blew his face old and left furrow-like wrinkles.
"Xiyao, you're crying again......" General Tong opened his eyes without the pavilion master noticing, and said in a delicate murmuring voice.
The Phoenix Feather Pavilion Lord couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, and with a wisp of red sleeves, she hugged General Tong tightly.
General Tong is also tender, putting his hand on her waist, feeling the lovesickness and suffering over the years with his heart.
"I said I would come back to you, don't you stand in front of you now?" General Tong said to the pavilion master like a child.
"Twelve years...... Do you think I still care about you coming back all these years? The pavilion master raised his head and looked at Tong Yu's eyes with a pair of teary eyes and asked.
"Xiyao, I'm sorry I haven't been able to be by your side all these years." General Tong hooked the pavilion master's long hair, hugged her head and said regretfully.
The Lord of the Phoenix Feather Pavilion closed his teary eyes and enjoyed a rare moment of peace.
"Take me to meet Haruka!" General Tong made a sudden request to the pavilion master.
Pavilion Master Kaiyun sideburns, paced slowly to the door in a few steps, turned the corner of his eye and asked, "Do you think she would like to see you?" ”
General Tong's ardent anticipation was extinguished by the pavilion master's cold words in an instant, but as she said, who would recognize a father who had abandoned her for more than ten years?
"I understand, let's just take it as my extravagant hope......," General Tong sighed with his back on his face.
"Today is the last day before the mountain is closed, you should return to your Southern Qi and continue to be the great general that you all admire, isn't it? General Tong ...... "The Pavilion Master's words hurt people like knives, which was clearly to drive him away."
General Tong hooked the corners of his mouth, shook his head with a wry smile and pushed open the door, stood in front of the Phoenix Feather Pavilion, and said meaningfully, "I never wanted to stay here with you for the rest of my life, to be a person who doesn't care about the world, but everything in this world will not go as you want!" ”
The pavilion master closed the door, straightened his sleeves, looked back and said, "Come with me...... It's been a long time since you've been back here......"
Although General Tong is a big husband, he is only a little woman in front of the pavilion master, so he has to obediently follow the pavilion master.
The two marched together to Nirvana, and the armies of the two countries stood solemnly in the center and prepared to return to the court.
"I'll send you here today......" The pavilion master shook the green silk, and a wisp of fragrance was hidden in the words.
General Tong didn't say a word, and twelve years in exchange for a short side of the two, this meeting was too sad.
The two armies on the Nirvana field were the Shen family army of Northern Chu and the imperial dragon Jinwei of Southern Qi, and the two countries sent troops to relieve Huang Yu from this calamity.
General Tong walked on the road and saw the prince waiting on the Nirvana field from a distance. So he hurried to the crown prince.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" General Tong Yu put aside the sword at his waist and bowed on one knee.
Prince Lingqu took his hand and said, "General Tong, we will go back to Southern Qi today, you go and reorganize your armament!" ”
General Tong looked back at the Phoenix Feather Pavilion Lord behind him, then turned his head and said, "Your Highness, the minister has something to ask for, and I beg your Highness to allow it!" ”
Prince Lingqu stretched out the golden silk nanmu umbrella in his hand, and asked with a blank face, "What's the matter?" ”
General Tong saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intended to give permission, so he continued, "Your Highness should know that my division is out of Huangyu, and I am very grateful for this place when I return today, and I want to stay here alone for one more day, I hope Your Highness will be gracious!" ”
Prince Lingqu and General Tong were ordered to defend the frontier together, and they have been born and died on the border for many years, so it can be said that the relationship between the two is very close, so the prince will naturally agree to such a request that is not excessive.
However, before Prince Lingqu could speak, an old minister beside him said in a vicious language: "General Tong is under the will of His Majesty to lead the Royal Dragon Golden Guard to escort the prince throughout the journey, does the general want to leave the prince alone and return to the court, disobeying His Majesty's will?" ”
Prince Lingqu smiled harmlessly, stopped the old minister on the side with one hand and said, "It's okay, if General Tong really misses this place, it doesn't hurt to stay for one more day, I will explain it to General Tong on my father's side." ”
"Your Highness, this ......" The old minister on the side prevaricated, not knowing how to dissuade him.
"Your Highness!" General Tong's smile spread on his face, and he thanked him loudly.
The pavilion master turned to walk towards the Shen family army on the side, and Shen Lao Zheng was talking and laughing with her in front of Jing Li, it was really a grandfather and grandson who were hard to find in the world.
"Elder Shen, thank you for your help!" The Lord of the Phoenix Feather Pavilion walked in front of Shen Maung Yang and bowed respectfully and thanked him.
The granddaughter, who was originally talking and laughing, stopped suddenly, and Jing Li hurriedly asked the pavilion master for a salute and said, "I've seen the master!" ”
Shen Lao touched Jing Li's head and said, "This girl also understands the rules very well under your teaching, and I am relieved to hand her over to you......"
The pavilion master thanked Shen Lao for his praise with a smile.
Immediately, the Phoenix Feather Pavilion Master pulled Jing Li's left hand, untied the handkerchief, and asked, "Have you been feeling unwell lately?" ”
Jing Li looked at the blood-red totem on the back of his left hand, and shook his head again and again.
Shen Lao had long known that the deadliest ancient spirit of Huang Yu was on Jing Li's body, so he explained to the Huang Yu Pavilion Lord in a serious voice: "Xi Yao, this ancient spirit is extraordinary, if this girl carries this spirit body, I am afraid that I will summon evil disasters." ”
The pavilion master still understood Shen Lao's concerns, so he said calmly, "Shen Lao rest assured, I have passed on the Hua Ling's quotations to Jing Li, plus this girl's heart is not bad, and Hua Ling will not hurt herself." ”
Shen Maungyang nodded again and again, and said happily, "Girl, grandpa is going back today, and in the future, you will have to learn hard in Huangyu, and on the day you leave the school, grandpa will come to pick you up in person, how about it?" "Shen Maungyang is really an old naughty boy, learning to hook his little thumb like a child.
Jing Li pursed her lips and hooked Shen Lao's little thumb and hummed.
Shen Lao could also put down Jing Li's piece of heart at this moment, so he stood up and shouted with wide sleeves, "Shen Jiajun!" ”
"In!" Hundreds of Shen family troops who were waiting behind him responded in unison.
"Come with me!" Shen Lao led his army and turned around and left Nirvana.
Jing Li stood beside the pavilion master, shook his hand again and again, and watched Grandpa Shen go away.
On the other side, Prince Lingqu paused in place for a moment, he pondered for a while, and said to the accompanying ministers, "Wait for me here, I still have one important thing to do!" ”
"Yes!" The accompanying ministers should arrive.
Prince Lingqu walked straight towards Wen Dong in the crowd of send-offs, and after standing still in front of him, he said, "Pavilion Master Wen took a step to speak. ”
Wen Dongmo looked at Prince Lingqu's eyes through the broken hair, and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, do you have something important to discuss?" ”
Prince Lingqu didn't say much, nodded and took Wen Dong's arm and walked towards the Nirvana Field.
The two walked to the inaccessible ancient tree, and the Prince of Lingqu said, "Pavilion Master Wen should have guessed what I wanted to say, right?" ”
Wen Dong stared at Prince Lingqu with straight eyes, and the two faced each other in a silent cold war, and after a while, Wen Dong spoke first, "Why did you marry Princess Lingtuo to Huangyu?" ”
Wen Dong grabbed Prince Lingqu's wrist with one hand and stared at him sharply with cold eyes.
Prince Lingqu seemed to be unable to confide in his bitterness, so he had to helplessly say, "In order to protect her!" ”
Wen Dong's eyes gradually relaxed, and he wondered, "Could it be that it is safer for her to stay in my Xiaoyao Pavilion than in the Nanqi Palace?" ”
Prince Lingqu pressed Wen Dong's right shoulder and said, "Listen to me!" Now only you can protect her, this is also a helpless move, I don't even know how many people I can trust around me this time, do you think it will be safe in the deep palace of Nanqi like this? ”
Wen Dong deduced from Prince Lingqu's words that there must have been civil strife in the Southern Qi Dynasty.
Prince Lingqu opened the umbrella in his hand very low, covering the faces of the two, and from a distance, it looked more like the two of them were talking to me and me under the umbrella curtain.
"My every move now is being watched by the people around me, although I can't find out who is behind the scenes, but I am sure that it is the Qin family!" Prince Lingqu said firmly.
Wen Dong still couldn't fully believe in Prince Lingqu's words, so he still set up a barrier in his heart.
Prince Lingqu saw the hesitation in Wen Dong's eyes, so he said, "Recently, my father's body has become weaker and weaker, which means that the succession to the throne has become a point that the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers are concerned about. ”
Wen Dong frowned, remembering the Prince Lingtu who was fighting with him that day, and said, "Your Highness wants Princess Lingtuo to avoid the danger of the battle for the throne?" ”
Seeing that Wen Dong had a few understandings, Prince Lingqu's face rose with joy, and he said, "Not bad!" But that's just one of the reasons. ”
"As far as I know, the force behind the second prince is the Qin family, if he ascends to the throne, this Nanqi will become a puppet controlled by the Qin family!" The prince pinched Wen Dong's sleeve and said solemnly.
"Whew!" Wen Dong's ears were sharp, and he suddenly realized that someone was watching not far from him, and in an instant, he stopped Prince Lingqu's words.
"Understood, His Royal Highness the Prince......" Wen Dong agreed as he took Prince Lingqu's arm and walked out.
Halfway through, Wen Dong whispered in the ear of Prince Lingqu and said, "When necessary, the phoenix feathers spread their wings to protect ......."
Prince Lingqu turned his face to stare at Wen Dong, and said with a smile: "Lingqu has thanked you here!" ”
The conversation between the two took place in what seemed to be a smoke barrier, and no one knew what they were talking about. Prince Lingqu relieved himself to put away the umbrella in his hand, and led the dragon Jin Wei to leave the Huangyu Mountain Realm in a majestic manner.
The Lord of the Wen Pavilion was dressed in plain clothes and moved in the wind, looking at the distant formation of the Prince of Lingqu and said, "The Qin family ......"
。
。
。
Huang Yu sent away the distinguished guests of the two countries, and the mountain returned to the old peace, although the Nine Domains Dispute came to an abrupt end halfway, but this time it was not completely without harvest.
The pavilion master walked to the position of General Tong and asked, "Why do you want to stay?" ”
General Tong's eyes suddenly darkened with the back of Prince Lingqu, and it seemed that he still couldn't let go of the prince returning to the court alone.
"I still remember this place......" General Tong sighed as he looked around at the mighty Nine Pavilions.
Looking at the tired birds walking with the sunset in the distant mountains, General Tong said, "The tired birds are still nostalgic for the old forest, how can I not want this place to raise me?" ”
The pavilion master didn't believe his rhetoric, she had already seen the clue, so she asked coldly, "But Nanqi is in turmoil......
General Tong turned his face coldly to look at the iceberg face of the Phoenix Feather Pavilion Lord, and said with a wry smile: "I really can't hide anything from you!" ”
After that, General Tong took out a scroll of books from his sleeve, and then said, "This is what Prince Lingqu entrusted me to transfer to you." ”
The Pavilion Master looked at the scroll and asked, "Why do you think I'll help you?" ”
General Tong lowered his eyebrows and said slowly, "What if this matter is related to the Qin family?" ”
The pavilion master snatched the golden silk book from his hand at once, and said, "What a calculation......
General Tong took the jade hand of the Phoenix Feather Pavilion Lord, looked at the sunset in the distance of the mountain realm, and said, "You said that people have been grudging all their lives, and they don't want to return to the original land, how can you and I calculate?" ”
