Chapter Seventy-Two: Farewell (Welcome to Read, Comment, Collect)
The three-day period has expired, the marching troops are lined up outside the city gate of Yongsheng Street, and the emperor Luan drove to the top of the city tower in person, and the emperor personally saw him off, what a great gift in the eyes of everyone!
The cold wind is blowing, blowing the battle flag, and the flag is blowing in the wind, and a majestic war song is being sung. Jin Ge Iron Horse, the horn blowing, the war drums thunder, the soldiers are all in good spirits, the sword and spear are in hand, and the slogan is resounding in the sky.
The auspicious time has arrived, and the leader above the tower gestures to set off.
The commander followed the leader, and the general followed, and with a wave of his whip, the horses neighed and roared, and the horses' hooves flew away. The soldiers marched in procession, and the sound of their strides shook the heavens and the earth, disturbing the parting bell.
Some people are happy, some people are worried, and some people have already seen through the three autumns in the city tower, and their hearts are far away with that person. The woman who came to see off the Nine Kings Mansion wept and couldn't hide her sadness, which was called an inseparable one; The crown prince who accompanied him was very happy, and he did not forget to say a few kind words in front of the emperor, of course, for himself. Everyone else said that no one came to the General's Mansion, and the lady was not favored.
There was a person hiding in the crowd on the castle tower, his eyes had never left the general, and the centaur was about to disappear at the end of the remnant snow, he finally looked back at her, and the moment their eyes met, a line of tears wet her face. Why is he not, but every drop of turbid tears was carried away by the wind, and disappeared into the wind without leaving a trace, and when the wind took it away, it was like a knife cut, and his face hurt.
He said, "Wait for me!"
She said, I'll wait for you!
The hair is wrapped around the eyes, and from the gap between the hairs, look at the day of parting, the gray is very hazy, as if there is an old dream, spreading in this grand parting.
Holding the pain in my heart, my eyes are full of tenderness, and this promised life begins to wait!
The people on the city tower gradually left, and the city tower was empty, and there was nothing left of such a shocking scene just now. A sadness struck, crawling all over her body and mind, and there were only two people still here, her and He Huan beside her.
The general took his life in Bo, and she was willing to gamble for it, betting on a parting in exchange for a reunion and encounter; Bet on a life of affection and no regrets, a lifetime of love and pity; Bet on you and me to drink a glass of acacia wine, holding hands and white heads; Bet that heroes are not old, and beauties are not late; Bet on this life and an afterlife; Bet on you, on me, on us!
The snow melted, the cold wind was fierce, and when I thought of his hand, I didn't know if it was still warm. Before leaving the house, the woolen hand sleeves she personally put on him should be able to have a trace of warmth.
The city gate was curfew, and there were gradually pedestrians coming and going, and there was not much snow left, leaving only the cold.
He Huan said: "Go back!" ”
Looking at the direction of departure, she is reluctant, how much she is reluctant in the world to give up, she understands this truth, no matter how much she understands the truth, it is better to practice it herself.
He Huan urged her many times, until she saw He Huan's lips turned black from the cold wind, so she withdrew her gaze and came down from the city tower.
The gaze can be withdrawn, but the heart cannot.
was silent all the way, and the voices of the people in her ears were no longer audible, so she didn't care what those people said. He Huan followed her closely, saw a tavern, and suggested that she buy two jars of wine, and she was a little interested.
Dressed in men's clothing, it will not attract attention. Carrying two jugs of wine, he paced back to the carriage, and the coachman waited for a long time, and he was sleepy. Finally, when I waited for Mrs., I would definitely have to return to the house immediately.
Shu He felt that today's driver was a little faceless, and asked He Huan, "Why are the people driving today, why are they a little faceless", of course He Huan knows why, and it is not all arranged by the general.
He Huan replied: "Madam, this is arranged by the general, if Madame travels, she will be accompanied by this person in the future, his name is Tian Sheng." ”
There was silence in the carriage, this was all an arrangement he made overnight, since he couldn't go to the battlefield, it was still okay for him to have no worries.
Chang Wan was in her own courtyard, looking at the snow in a daze, the snow had almost melted. She wasn't in the mood to look at the snow either, it was just her best excuse. The general went out today, and she didn't go to see her off, because she was belittled by the general last night, and the people in her courtyard were evacuated.
She thought that at this moment, the general should leave the imperial city with his men and horses and go on the road to the northwest, the weather was so cold, I don't know if he is safe. Peony offered a cup of tea, she took it, held it in the palm of her hand, and did not take a sip. Her thoughts were already on the road to the northwest, waiting for the mighty brigade of people to find a person, only asking about the warmth and coldness.
The sky is gradually sinking, the cold is raging, and the howling north wind sweeps the east, west, north and south.
A cup of tea, it will soon cool down.
When Shu He returned to the general's mansion, the twilight sky seemed to be snowing again, and the nurse said no, the snow and fog would be clear for a long time, and the sky would be clear. Hopefully, it's a sunny day, and the journey will be a little less difficult.
After having dinner indiscriminately, Shu He was in a daze in her room, she didn't know what to do, she didn't want to do anything, she was empty in her heart, and she felt that she had lost something very important.
She remembered the two jars of wine she bought, and immediately set off, and instructed He Huan to find a shovel, dig a pit under the plum tree in the courtyard, bury the two jars of wine in it, and wait for the day when the general came back to dig them out and drink them.
Chang Wan embroidered under the lamp, but she was not as impatient as Shuhe, her expression was as usual, and the peony on the side sometimes secretly glanced at her a few times, but she only pretended not to see it.
Rong Shi and the maid Yinzi were playing chess under the lamp, the doors and windows were closed, the cold wind outside could not blow in, the charcoal brazier in the house was burning, and the whole house was hot.
Otoko said: "Miss, the general didn't come to see you before he left for the battle, and I don't know when I will be able to return this time." ”
Rong Min twisted the black chess in his hand, pondered carefully, and didn't seem to listen to what the maid said, and settled down in one step, "Going on the expedition or not, what's the difference?" Otoko was surprised, thinking that the young lady didn't listen to what she said, but she didn't expect that it would not affect her chess at all. Otoko is distracted, and she has to rethink the chess game, and with her chess skills, it seems that it will take a while to keep up. Rong Min picked up the flower tea on the side and tasted it slowly.
Yinzi finally took a step, and couldn't help but speak again, "Miss, it was the Jiang family who offended the general and the lady, but we were also indifferent!" ”
At the end of the tea, he said, "It seems that Otoko feels that he hates the innocent, doesn't he?" ”
Otoko looked at her quietly, bowed her head and played chess, and without finishing her words, she learned from Rong Min. Even if the silence is acquiescence, she really feels that she is innocent and implicated, Rong Min slowly spoke, "Nothing is innocent, don't worry about this issue anymore!" ”
According to the words, the master and servant played chess intently, and the warm air wafted throughout the room, as if everything was warm.
At this time, the most frantic is Jiang Li, the general is going to go on an expedition, and he has never come to see her from beginning to end, is this not a matter of care? Since the last incident was revealed, Ah Lian was sentenced to death, and now she doesn't even have anyone she can trust. The revelation of the plot to murder his wife, coupled with the fact that she secretly followed the general, made a lot of small actions behind the scenes, and they were all discovered one by one, and her people had already been eradicated, and there was not much left. The backer behind her can't be contacted, even if she is connected, it is estimated that she will be ignored, and she is now a waste chess.
Yes, the prince's plan for the present is to try his best to please the general. The Nine Princes and the General went out together, if the relationship between the two was close, they would not even have a chance to fight for it in the future, and the powerful military force would be used by the Nine Princes, which would not be feasible. He was thinking in his heart, how to get the general on his side, then the nine kings and the general would not get along.
Although the line he put in the General's Mansion was almost uprooted, this is nothing, as long as he can prevent the Nine Kings from forming an alliance with the General, this is a trivial matter.
Jiang Li's incident was exposed, he was very angry, and he had already reminded her not to be tied up by her children's private feelings and not listen, and now she is to blame for such a big heel. He didn't think about avenging her or anything, he just wanted to get the support of the general's army, so that he wouldn't clash with the general head-on.
After thinking about it, the plan for now is to prevent the Nine Kings from forming an alliance with the general, so it is necessary to make it unpleasant for them to get along with each other. It's not a difficult thing to make two people get along, after all, they are two very different people. In terms of identity alone, it is an insurmountable gap, not to mention a more complex one.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately returned to his home, looked for a close confidant, and quickly whipped into the army in case of emergency.
