Chapter Seventy-One: A Few Soldiers and Horses, and a Few Sorrows
(Girls' Literature)
This year's summer has been exceptionally hot. The sun is hot. It's just going to roast people. The land of Daling is cracked. No rain for a long time. Even the crops will die of drought.
There is still a river around Daling, but now even the river has dried up. That's not all there is here, let alone the next place. I heard that there was already a famine in some places. The people have no harvest. The people have no means of making a living.
Jun Mochen ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain. However, the local government saw that it was going to war. but he held the grain still. People have no way to make a living. For a while, there was an uprising. Yan Yi played the banner of "anti-Chen Fuling" in a timely manner. In a few days, a group of large teams were formed.
He even pushed me out. said that the eldest princess Yi Luo was detained in the palace by Jun Mochen. And I am the only remaining descendant of the royal family.
Yan Yi's lobbying. It exhilarates the crowd. They all said that they would follow him to Kyoto. Drive Jun Mochen back to Chenguo.
I secretly sweated for Jun Mochen.
He was the unification of the world at that time. Moving the capital to Lingguo was a mistake. Not to mention that there was a force within the Chen Kingdom at that time. The hundred-year-old foundation of the country. Where it is so easy to shake.
The people of Kyoto have lived here for generations. I want them to be subject to a foreign king. How could it be overnight. Although Jun Mochen has always advocated recuperation. But in the end, it is a new dynasty. The people below are detached. It also coincides with this natural and man-made disaster, where can we resist it?
It's only a few days. The world is already in turmoil. King Heng. The remnants of King Li are a vein. is about to take Jun Mochen's life to pay tribute to the two kings. They quickly divided out. Establish a regime. The country name is "Chang". Headed by Song Fusheng, the most trusted person of the two kings during his lifetime.
And Yan Yi is in a class of his own. Most of the people are the people of Lingguo. Most of the soldiers were from his old department. Only then did I know that Yan Yi had preserved so much strength that day. In order to make a comeback today. He had been planning for so long.
At the time of the confrontation between Song Fusheng and Jun Mochen. Yan Yi just told the soldiers to do a good job of defense. He himself eats and lodging with the people. Speed up the diversion of water into the fields. Heal the crops. Fortunately, Daling is near the water. Crops did not die of drought completely.
After this measure. Most of the crops were saved. For a moment, people's hearts turned backs. The people support it.
A large number of victims from all over the country poured into Daling. Yan Yi did not refuse to come. Even treat the widows and lonely people equally. For a time the people were happy. I actually have the feeling of living and working in peace and contentment.
And I know it in my heart. But it's all an illusion. Now the situation is changing. Sooner or later, this war will break out. It's just a moment of calm before the storm.
Yan Yi's army grew rapidly at an incredible speed. When the first leaves fall. It's already a scene of strong soldiers.
Song Fusheng has been confronting Jun Mochen for a long time. But it's also an innocuous little fight. Everyone is waiting with bated breath. Wait for a real storm to come.
At this time. There was news in the palace that Jun Mochen was seriously ill. This is undoubtedly the best opportunity. Everyone looked delighted. Jun Mochen is seriously ill. The power is on the sidelines. Naturally, this couldn't be better.
My heart was in a tug. How could a good person suddenly become seriously ill. Or at such a juncture.
Yan Yi looked at me casually. Ask clearly. "Such a moment. I'm afraid that Jun Mochen will block the news if he is sick. How can it still be passed out. ”
Hear this. I had some hope in my heart. It must be Jun Mochen's strategy. He couldn't have been hurt.
"The news sent by the eldest princess. Absolutely true. Jun Mochen sealed the news. Now we are the only ones who know that he is seriously ill. Qingqi's face was undisguised with joy.
Yan Yi's expression was calm. "Do you know why?"
Qing Qi gave me an embarrassed look. Look at Yan Yi again.
Yan Yi understood. "The princess is tired from the day. The minister sent someone to send the princess back to rest. ”
I opened my mouth. After all, it was still unspoken. Only the way. "I'll just go back on my own. Don't bother. Then he turned and walked out the door.
I couldn't stop pounding in my heart. As soon as he went out, he turned around and shrank to the side of the door. Lend an hear.
“…… When Jun Mochen named the eldest princess as a concubine. The eldest princess is pregnant. Now she is even more favored with Liujia. This time, Jun Mochen was seriously ill, and it was for the eldest princess's hairpin that fell into the water. Jun Mochen actually went into the water to find it himself. It's just that he originally had the residual poison of cold air. This time it's getting worse ......"
I listened and listened. Suddenly, his hands and feet were cold. Listening to their meaning, my sister is just like Sister Xi Shi.
I've only been in Daling for three months. My sister turned out to be pregnant. She was also named a concubine. That is, they have been together for a long time. I'm the only one in the dark.
Tears fell unexpectedly. I can't bear to listen to it anymore. Stumbling away.
My heart hurts terribly. One is the man I have in mind. The man who has taken everything from me. One is my sister. The only loved one in the world that I respect the most. They took me for something.
The cold and residual poison of his body used to be for me. But now he even disregards his personal safety for the sake of one of his sister's hairpins. I left him with so many injuries. So he's going to give up on me
Jun Mochen. It turns out that your affection has never been for me alone. You can give it to any woman in the world if you want, right?
And my stupid heart is all about him. Worry about him, worry about him. But he already has a beautiful woman. Didn't take me to heart at all.
I used to think that the two closest people in my life. But I can't die of hatred.
Jun Mochen. Are all the vows you have made false?
The body is crumbling. Can't stand up. I held on to the wall next to me so I didn't fall.
When exactly did they start. I didn't know. There is still some unbelief in my heart. How do I feel about Jun Mochen? My sister knows. She even advised me not to be angry with him. How could such a Zhuang Yi be with Jun Mochen.
I haven't been able to figure out why. The war has begun. Changling's second team was entangled together, and it turned out to be an army of 10,000 people. All the way from Jiangbei. Approaching Kyoto.
The day of Yan Yi's incident. The sky was dark and dreary. It rained heavily for the first time this year. The people rejoice. It is believed that this uprising is in accordance with the will of God. The revival of the Ling Kingdom is a matter of time.
In this cognition. Jun Mochen sent people to suppress it. But it was more defeats and fewer victories along the way. It's quite a bit of a powerless posture.
And Yan Yi ordered someone to take care of me from the day he started the war with Jun Mochen. Plain is protection. But I know that he is just afraid that I will return to Jun Mochen again. It's just a real confinement.
Jun Mochen's illness has not recovered from early autumn to early winter. He himself suffers from cold, and it is not easy to get better in winter. There must be a war on the horizon. I was sad and worried about him.
Ling Tianyan. You're not angry.
On the winter solstice. Jun Mochen has lost many cities. On the other hand, Yan Yi's morale is rising more and more.
The weather is cold. The people of the city were busy making winter clothes and shoes for the warriors of the army. The city was filled with joy. As if it weren't war outside. but those who wait to return home.
It's snowing outside. I sat alone on the bluestone slab outside the house in a daze. Snowflakes fell all over my face.
A pair of hands draped me over from behind me. Suddenly, there was a warmth on the body.
"How do you sit here in the snow. Cold is not cold. "You don't have to look back to know that it's Yan Yi.
His words were extremely calm. It was so calm that I couldn't hear the hint of concern. I replied with a faint question. "Aren't you in the barracks. How did you come back. ”
Yan Yi said. "The year is over. I want to truce and let everyone have a good year. The coming year. I will let this country be surnamed Ling. ”
One last word. He bit hard.
I smiled disappreciatively. "Congratulations to General Yan on the fulfillment of his long-cherished wish."
Yan Yi is now strong and strong. Most of the world is already in hand. He said that a truce would be a truce. To fight or not to fight is all between his words. What a complacency.
He said. "Tilt your face. I'll be able to give you this great deal soon. ”
"What do I want to do with this?" I hung my head and smiled bitterly. The world has worked so hard to get what they can't get. And the things that I have worked so hard to push away have been brought to me by some people. Is this a blessing or a sin?
"With this, we can be together. No one can hurt you anymore. No one can break us apart anymore. Yan Yi said calmly. At the end, he even chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Maybe even he thought it was ridiculous. Even with this, we can't be together. But it's all self-deception. It's just that since there is no turning back. At best, it should be a consolation.
He quieted down. I also stopped talking. Only the sound of snowflakes falling silently. One petal and two petals. It's been a long time since I've had such a quiet time. I wish time had stopped. Nothing. Do nothing.
But......
"Tilt your face. Princess Yi Luo is about to give birth. ”
My body shuddered. The big one on his body slipped down because of shock. Silently fell to the ground. My eyes were wide open. The body stiffened.
From the moment I heard that she was pregnant. I knew there would be such a day. But how can it be so fast. It's so fast that I haven't kicked Jun Mochen out of my heart. She's going to give birth.
I never believed in Jun Mochen who spoke to me affectionately. I have already had a skin-to-skin relationship with Zhuang Yi. I waited a little longer. Wait for him to explain to the world. There is no such thing.
What came into her ears one after another was that Jun Mochen treated her so well. What he did for me. Now he doesn't hesitate to risk even more to do it for her again. Jun Mochen. Which time is your true heart? I can't tell.
That's their child. He is the child with Zhuang Yi. I think of my children. In that autumn breeze. Bright red blood flowed from under me. Dazzling.
Heaven is really unfair. I also had children with him. I used to be so affectionate. Desperately trying to give birth to the child. But I didn't keep him after all. Why Zhuang Yi. She can give birth to their children.
Anger is rife. The nameless fire burned my eyes red. The fingers under the wide sleeves are clenched. Sinking deep into the flesh and still not knowing it.
"Pour your face." Yan Yi grabbed my sleeve and called anxiously.
The scenery in front of me suddenly swirled. I fell straight down. Unconscious.
