Chapter 4 Returning the pearl to tears
We hit the road with Shanyu, and there was a gap between the three of us.
Shan Yu and I said a few words, but Tongyi Qingchen didn't say a word. From Shanyu's eyes, I could see a contempt for Yi Qingchen, which had never been seen in the past.
A hundred years ago, Yi Qingchen jumped off the obsessive cliff and almost became a demon clan, even if he brought back Qin Ning's corpse to become a major general of Southern Qin and become the most powerful demon hunter of the god clan, but this humiliation could not be eliminated. He is not in Xianyang at this time, and he is with me who was reincarnated in Qin Ning, so I don't need to go back to guess how the rumors in Xianyang City will be.
From Artemisia Mountain to Houqi, you need to pass through Qinning, at this time after the Lantern Festival, Qinning's spring also presents a vibrant, green scenery of fragrant grass.
Birds and beasts are everywhere, and the list goes on.
Yi Qingchen seemed to be full of emotion about this place, and carefully looked at the undulating mountains and the winding streams reflecting the moon. Looking at it, his eyes were red, and he suddenly released his spiritual power to look for the breath left by Qin Ning in the heavens and the earth.
It's just that Qin Ning has already been reincarnated as a human, so he naturally can't detect anything.
It's as if I had only seen the heavy snow in Qinning yesterday, but in fact, half of my life has passed.
Across the stream, the wooden house where I used to live with Shanyu is not far away.
From a distance, the wood is as new as new, and when you walk in, you can see that the home is spotless and not dilapidated at all.
I walked over to the table and wiped it, and there was no dust on my fingers.
"We've been gone for fifty years, why is this cabin still the same as new?"
Shan Yu covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Xu is Qin Ning's Snow Girl, come and help us clean up!" ”
I knew he was talking nonsense, and I guessed he sent someone to fix and clean up before us.
With Shanyu's current status and financial resources, he can do this completely.
As the sun sets, the entire Qinning illuminated from the mountain col is as gorgeous as a colorful glow. The golden light added a hint of red, and melted into the water, the grass and the beasts.
I cooked the meal and served it to the table, these two are Southern Qin nobles, I thought they were not delicacies, they didn't eat or drink non-agar syrup. But when I served the second dish, the previous one was empty.
"You... You guys..."
Shanyu licked her lips, still savoring the taste of the food, "We came all the way here, and we are very hungry. Let you see the joke. ”
After eating, the sun on the col has completely set down the mountain. The moonlight in Qin Ning is still as beautiful as ever, and the moon in the valley looks distant and mysterious.
I looked at the Dementor Bell in the moonlight and shook it gently. The Soul Bell immediately replied to me with an ethereal voice, reassuring me knowing that Xuan Ao was doing well inside.
I walked out of the house, these days were so hurried that it seemed like I hadn't felt like this in a long time.
The bluebirds flew from the clouds one by one, and although there was the sound of flapping their wings, it was still quiet and a little weird.
They put the jade slips in their mouths one by one in Yi Qingchen's hands, turned around and flew into the sea of clouds and disappeared.
Yi Qingchen was very happy to receive the letter at first, thinking that Yi Zhou, who was far away in Xianyang, was still thinking about him. But then his face became more and more ugly, and his whole face showed anger.
He is not easily angry, and the anger that can make him look like it is not simple.
Yi Qingchen saw me and put away all the jade slips. Accompany me along the trickling stream to the depths of the mountains.
I couldn't suppress my curiosity, and asked cautiously: "The blue bird is here with a jade slip, is it the king of Pingnan who summoned you back to Xianyang?" ”
I gradually relied on Qiyi Qingchen, and the thought that he would not be by my side one day could not help but feel self-pity.
Yi Qingchen sighed, "Daddy sent me a letter and told me something about the recent situation in Xianyang. Nine out of ten are about the king of Pingbei. ”
He looked at the wooden house, and I had doubts in my heart, could it be that the king of Pingbei in Southern Qin was Shanyu?
Yi Qingchen said slowly: "In the half year we were in the underworld, Zhao Shanyu presented the beauties of the human race and the demon race to the emperor for the emperor's enjoyment. The emperor is a sensual dog and horse, and he doesn't care much about political affairs, but he was coaxed by Zhao Shanyu to be happy and named him the king of Pingbei. Zhao Hou was not idle, his son was favored in front of the emperor, and Lao Tzu also followed. There was a big change of officials in the DPRK and China, and he demoted his political opponents out of Xianyang, and recalled his henchmen to the central government. Now Nan Qin is going to be upset by these two fathers and sons. ”
The knighthood of Southern Qin is respected by the king, and the male is the secondary. Shanyu has no military exploits, and even if he has a hereditary title, it is impossible to sit in the position of King Pingbei. Pingnan Wang Yizhou made great achievements, and Rong Ma was born and died for Nanqin all his life in exchange for his current status. Even if the people in Xianyang City don't talk about it on their faces, they can't do it behind their backs.
Yi Qingchen didn't seem to be defenseless against me, and the anger in his heart was vented quickly.
My expression gradually became solemn, and he could see it clearly under the moon.
Yi Qingchen said: "Do you still want to marry Zhao Shanyu?" ”
I blurted out, "I want to get married, Zhao Hou and King Pingnan have been at odds for a long time, and he and Mrs. Zhao thought that I was the future daughter-in-law, and Lian Zhuji sent it." If you say that you won't marry now, Shanyu will definitely anger you and even King Pingnan. ”
Yi Qingchen was silent, hung his head silently, and said for a while: "If you don't want to marry, you don't have to worry about me." Our Yi family has great military exploits, and the emperor does not dare to touch us easily. ”
I shook my head, "Since ancient times, how can loyal ministers and good generals compare to traitorous and slanderous ministers, Shanyu and Zhao Hou are like this, it is inevitable to drive your Yi family out of Southern Qin." ”
Yi Qingchen didn't make a sound, so I looked up at the moon, and it was already in the middle of the sky.
Turning around and walking out of the mountain, suddenly the white clothes in front of him were fluttering, and the skirt was in the wind. I fell into Yi Qingchen's arms, my face pressed against his chest.
His arms tightened so hard that I couldn't break free and could only lie quietly on his chest.
Yi Qingchen lowered his head and suddenly came to a passionate deep kiss, which made me dizzy and dizzy.
I pushed him away and said in a low voice, "I'm no longer Qin Ning." ”
All the way out of the mountain, the wind whistled in my ears. My shadow was reflected in the stream reflecting the moon, and I suddenly couldn't tell whether it was me or Qin Ning in the clear water. I threw a stone into the reflection of the water, and the ripples on the surface of the water spread out in a circle.
I hate why I was Qin Ning in my previous life, and I can easily get all the love of Yi Qingchen.
I held the branch in my hand and kept slapping the water, as if this would discard all the shadow of Qin Ning on my body.
But no matter how many times I slapped it, the people in the water were still the same as me when the ripples stopped, and she cried when I cried, and she laughed when I laughed.
My fingertips touched the water, and her fingertips touched me, as if I had crossed the long river of time and made Qin Ning and Qin Ning mingle into one person.
I calmed down and began to recall what Yi Qingchen had said to me, although I had not known him for a long time, I knew him better than he did. He never had these twists and turns, and he had the straightforwardness and frankness that a military general should have.
I believe in him as much as I believe in mysteries.
When I saw Shanyu again in just half a year, he had become something I didn't even know. He used to laugh just laughing, but now there's something in his laugh that I can't fathom. This is called how I don't grieve.
I sighed, and saw a shadow in the depths of the mountain. The snow-colored dress was embroidered with snowflakes, and the flowers were twisted between the strands of hair. It's simple enough to make my eyes shine.
"Snow Maiden!"
I ran over happily, not caring even if my shoes and socks were soaked in water.
The Snow Maiden had known that I would greet me with open arms like this, "I watched you on the top of the mountain and sat here alone for a long time, but what happened?" ”
I pulled her to sit under the tree, and Mochizuki said for a long time: "I haven't seen Shanyu for half a year, and it seems that I am a lot stranger." ”
"Within half a year, Zhao Shanyu has really changed a lot. In the past, I saw that he was reliable because you refused to return to your parents, and in the past six months, he has offered many beauties to the emperor for the first official position of Southern Qin, and his interests are different from those at the beginning. ”
I was stunned, not only did Yi Qingchen say this, but I couldn't hear any more good words about Shanyu in the mouth of the Snow Maiden.
I leaned into the arms of the Snow Maiden, and although she was a high demon god, I was not afraid of her, and she would never blame me for my rashness.
"Snow Maiden, I'm going to marry Shanyu." I looked at the stream ahead and whispered.
After a long time, the Snow Girl sighed, "Zhao Shanyu became like this, and it was also for you." ”
I sat upright and stared into the Snow Maiden's eyes.
"Zhao Shanyu thinks that you like Qingchen because he is the major general of Southern Qin, the future king of Pingnan. So he tried his best to get an official and a half-position in Southern Qin, and did everything he could. The Snow Girl said bluntly, and a word hit my heart, "It's just that he doesn't know that you and Qingchen met and fell in love in their previous lives, and although they have no memories in this life, you will still like him when you meet Qingchen." ”
For the first time, I learned that I was such a greedy and vain person in Shanyu's heart.
The Dementor Bell rang as I sighed, and the Snow Maiden listened. Time flies, time passes, and there is gloom in her calm eyes.
"Renyu, who gave you this silver bracelet?" She touched the Dementor Bell with her fingertips, and the coolness spread throughout my body.
"It was Tengu who sent it to me! Genku told me that I was related to Tengu by blood, so I could use it. Snow Lady, I grew up under the care of you and Shanyu since I was a child, and I want to ask you my father... Is it a tengu. ”
The Snow Girl didn't answer my question, maybe she took care of Yi Qingchen and Zhao Shanyu around me, or maybe she was afraid that I would ask why my father and mother left me here. Anyway, the Snow Maiden got up slowly and walked into the depths of the valley under my gaze.
Qin Ning returned to its original state, and I was the only living person left in heaven and earth, and I was cold and cold.
I watched the moon go down and watched the sun rise. Before you know it, time creeps away silently.
I stood up, but when I turned around, I saw Yi Qingchen standing against the door, like me, sleepless all night.
I narrowed my gaze, and Lonely went into the house to wake up the mountain elm.
He also woke up early, and sat by the window and was dressed in obscene clothes.
I turned around and felt my heart beat like a bell and drum.
Shanyu jumped out of bed and pulled me into his arms, "I will eventually get married in the future, why not look at my husband?" ”
"After all, if you are not married, how can you mess up the rules."
Shanyu put on his robe and waited with open arms for me to fasten his buttoned belt. I reluctantly turned around and did what a wife should do for him.
