Chapter Twenty-Seven: To Each His Own
The good times on the front line always pass exceptionally fast, and Liuning and Tang Changyu have been on the battlefield twice, and each time, they have a particularly deep feeling for this truth. Mu Zhengni led the army to shout many times outside the barracks of **, although it was shocking, but there was no danger, and ** passed through the valley smoothly, which made Tuyuhun's army very faceless, after all, this valley is known for its danger.
When Mu Zhengni brought the army to shout, ** hung up the war-free card high, and no matter what rumors there were in the outside world, what was the evaluation of** avoiding war, Tang Changyu knew that only by letting the brothers in the army recuperate and recuperate, with enough buffer, they could fight better.
The reason why Tang Changyu avoided the battle was, first, that he wanted the brothers of Tang Ying to have a good rest, second, that he wanted to thwart the menacing spirit of the Tuyuhun army, and third, that the New Year was about to be celebrated.
Tang Changyu and Liuning's, the fifth Spring Festival together.
On this day, Mu Zhengni also took the army to rest and celebrate the Spring Festival with his sister Mu Zhengqing in the ancient city of Sui, although he is an ethnic minority, he is still deeply influenced by Han customs, and the two brothers and sisters of the shogun family depend on each other, first incense their father and mother together, and then sit at the table, tasting the Chinese New Year's Eve meal made by Mu Zhengqing himself.
The two were eating and drinking, and it was just when they were laughing and laughing, when a small servant came in and handed over a box, saying that Marshal Tang in the Tang camp personally sent someone to send it. In fact, Tang Changyu's intention is just to find a way to tell Mu Zhengni on this special day, he hopes that Tuyuhun can coexist peacefully with Datang, if this war continues, it is the people who suffer, and it must be Tuyuhun who will eventually fall into dire straits, and Datang will also consume financial, material and manpower, which is not good for everyone.
Mu Zhengni took the box in the hands of his subordinates, and opened the box carefully, he always felt that there was fraud in it, and after opening it, the first thing he saw was a piece of letter paper, and the font on it was neatly and forcefully written: This is the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other. Zhu Luo is Tang Changyu's name.
Mu Zhengqing also stepped forward very curiously, looking at the beautiful and powerful handwriting on it, he couldn't help but admire: "Tsk, this word is really beautiful." Mu Zhengqing saw the final payment, so he asked his brother: "Brother, is this the Marshal of the Tang Dynasty?" He actually wrote to us and sent us something? ”
Mu Zhengni nodded, but replied with a gloomy face: "Well, this Tang Changyu has always been scheming, he can even escape the trap you laid in the valley, we can't be deceived by him, I want to see what tricks he wants to play." With that, Mu Zhengni continued to open the box, and below the letter was a box with exquisite patterns, and inside was a box of osmanthus cakes.
Mu Zhengni felt even more surprised and weird, how could his sworn enemy send him a box of osmanthus cakes at a time like the Spring Festival? This made him a little uneasy, and he couldn't help but think of Cao Cao, the story of Yiheshu.
But at this time, Mu Zhengqing tilted his head and smiled, his eyes were so innocent and happy, and said to Mu Zhengni: "This Marshal Tang, he is really interesting, he actually sent us food, brother, if you don't eat it, I can eat it, don't live up to the wishes of others, I think that although this person is a marshal, I'm afraid he doesn't want to fight so much, but wants to reconcile with us." ”
Mu Zhengni glanced at Mu Zhengqing, and said disapprovingly: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm afraid there is fraud in this, this box of osmanthus cakes, the farther away the better." Mu Zhengni wanted to throw away the osmanthus cake as he spoke, but was stopped by Mu Zhengqing, took out one of them and put it in his mouth.
Mu Zhengni was so frightened that he hurriedly patted Mu Zhengqing's back, and hurriedly patted her on the back, wanting her to spit out this osmanthus cake, if her sister was really poisoned or something happened because of this, Mu Zhengni would not only be buried with the entire Tang camp, but he would also blame himself for death.
Fortunately, after a long time, Mu Zhengqing didn't have anything, but Mu Zhengni was afraid that Tang Changyu would take some chronic poison, so he was still very worried, and specially called the military doctor to check it carefully for Mu Zhengqingzai, and after confirming that it was okay, Mu Zhengni finally put his mind at ease and warned his sister and said: "Zhengqing, don't mess around like this in the future, if something happens, what do you let me do." ”
Mu Zhengqing smiled very indifferently and said: "Oh, I knew it would definitely be fine, this Tang Changyu is really interesting, I really want to meet him." Mu Zhengqing said, but the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Mu Zhengni naturally didn't notice the thoughts of this little daughter's family, pushed Mu Zhengqing's head and said: "What do you think, let you make such a fuss, it's not too early, come with me and prepare to go to the New Year." Mu Zhengqing pursed his lips, but he followed very happily.
On the other side of the Tang camp, after Tang Changyu and Liuning, Zhao Nan, Mingfu, and Liubin had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they gathered all the **** soldiers together, and everyone from far and near, sat around a big bonfire, drank together, kept the New Year together, chatted different words, and missed their relatives in Chang'an.
All get together and have fun with the people, this is the best way Tang Changyu can come up with to comfort these tough guys who can't be with their relatives and lovers. Tang Changyu wanted to tell them that he was with them, and this friendship of birth and death together would not change because of the gap between the marshal and the soldiers.
Liuning leaned on Tang Changyu's shoulder, Tang Changyu saw that Liuning didn't speak for a long time, but Liuning's eyes were fixed on his brother, Liubin looked at the raging bonfire without blinking, I don't know what he was thinking, Tang Changyu lowered his head and asked Liuning: "A-Ning, what do you want." ”
Liu Ning retracted his somewhat worried gaze, and replied to Tang Changyu: "I want to go over to see my brother, he doesn't seem to be very happy." Tang Changyu also looked in the direction of Liubin, and noticed his frowning brows at a glance, Tang Changyu also noticed that these days, Liubin's mood was a little wrong, so he nodded to Liubin.
Liuning sat next to Liubin, the brother and sister, it had been a long time since they had such a separate opportunity to sit together, and after a long talk, Liuning pushed Liubin, making himself look very relaxed and asked, "Brother, what do you want." ”
Liubin just smiled miserably and didn't answer, but looked at the moonless and starless sky, Peach Blossom's eyes were full of confusion, Liuning couldn't see what kind of emotion it was, only heard Liubin sigh heavily.
Liuning couldn't help asking: "Brother, do you miss your sister-in-law, or do you miss my little nephew, Liuxia now has a special person to take care of him in the British Mansion, it must be fine, Chang Yu said, when we return triumphantly in this war, we will find an opportunity to send Xia'er back to you, not only do you miss him, but your sister-in-law must miss him too." ”
Liubin didn't answer, and Liuning continued to ask very unconfidently: "Brother, are you still thinking about the events of that day, you still suspect that our father and mother were killed by Datang?" ”
Liubin nodded, but did not answer this question directly, but asked Liuning rhetorically: "Can I trust Datang and Li Shimin?" ”
Liuning nodded without hesitation and replied: "Of course, although the emperor has done wrong things, but now he is thinking about the country, and we are not thin Turkic, Datang has my lover, your lover, and brothers and sisters who were born and died with us, isn't this trustworthy?" ”
"Brother, don't be blinded by those who have ulterior motives to sow discord, we are in Datang now, everything has the most intuitive feeling, we can all feel it, Datang is strong, he won't do that kind of indiscriminate thing, he has lived here for so long, how can he not trust it?"
Liubin smiled, although he didn't know if Liuning's words could untie the knot in his heart, he rubbed Liuning's hair, and said with a smile: "You girl, when will you be so eloquent." Liuning stuck out her tongue mischievously, and when she saw her brother smiling, her heart was much happier, and she sat back next to Tang Changyu with a smile.
On the other side, another pair of brothers and sisters did not have such laughter. Zhao Nan was originally leaning on a big tree, looking at the sky bored, this piece of darkness, but I don't know why it reminded him of those nights, every night he and Wanyan, when they first met, lingering, and arguing, seemed to be accompanied by cold moonlight, and Wanyan was so clear and beautiful, cold as frost, as if it could always blend well with the bright moonlight.
Wanyan's dancing face, Chu Chu's pious face when he made a wish under the peach blossom tree, and Mingfu's beautiful and persistent face every time he appeared beside him, these pictures reflected each other in Zhao Nan's mind, Zhao Nan's heart was very chaotic, he didn't know why, he thought of this.
Mingfu found Zhao Nan with wine, Zhao Nan deliberately hid in a small corner and didn't want to be disturbed, but Mingfu still found it, in fact, no matter where Zhao Nan went, as long as Mingfu wanted it, she would do everything she could to find him. Ming Fu walked to Zhao Nan's side and sat down, but he still didn't notice it at all.
Mingfu's white palm waved in front of Zhao Nan's eyes, Zhao Nan came back to his senses, Mingfu handed over the wine, Zhao Nan took it naturally, there was no embarrassment just now, Mingfu said very hesitantly: "Brother," she still couldn't get used to calling Zhao Nan like this, "What were you looking at just now." ”
Zhao Nan lowered his head, drank to himself, and said, "It's nothing." ”
The corners of Mingfu's mouth twitched, and a wry smile was pulled, with a taste of self-deprecation: "The personalities of our brothers and sisters are really not like each other." ”
Then Mingfu stared at Zhao Nan's eyes again, very serious, and asked word by word: "Are we really brother and sister?" ”
