Chapter Seventy-Three

I heard the sound of the army being reorganized, I heard the sound of horses, and I heard the neat footsteps of columns of soldiers walking.

By the time I got dressed and walked out, they were gone, and I could only faintly see a distorted army marching forward. I looked up and saw that fires had been lit on several beacon towers on the top of the mountain in the distance, and the thick white smoke was coming out one after another, which made people look frightened.

A gust of wind blew, blowing my body weak, it was still the middle of the night, looking at the darkness around me still felt a little crazy, rubbing my arms or back to the tent.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Mo'er ran into the tent and shook me vigorously, "Miss, Qianche and His Highness are gone. ”

I opened my eyes and said lightly, "I see." ”

Mo'er finally withdrew her hand and asked me with a look of surprise, "How does Miss know?" ”

"I hear you."

Mo'er muttered to herself, "Then why didn't I hear it?" ”

I don't even know how I got over all day today, the soldiers are not there, the fire is no longer there, the food is no longer cooking, the place is still this place, and I am used to seeing it after a few days.

I sat at the mouth of the tent, Xuanwu and Mo'er ran and laughed in front of me, probably afraid that I would be bored, and sometimes they would look back at me.

Xuanwu ran over and hurriedly grabbed my hand: "Sister, go and see, there are words on the stone." ”

I glanced at Mo'er, and she also said that there were words.

I walked over, and before I could get there, I saw two lines of words on the stone.

"Don't think about it, it's unforgettable."

The six characters were engraved with a sword, and they were neatly carved, but the pen was a little harder, and the grooves of each word were very deep.

I recognize Chu Muxiu's words, neat and round, and every stroke is clearly recognizable. Yesterday the stone was smooth and smooth, but this morning it was engraved with letters.

He was carved before he left last night.

This was written by the Northern Song Dynasty poet Su Shi to commemorate his deceased beloved wife, and I have always felt that his poems always carry a hint of resentment. Don't think about it, it's unforgettable. I can't bear to miss it. But after all, it is difficult to see each other. I don't think about it, but it's still hard to forget, and it always haunts me.

Xuanwu asked me, "Sister, what do you mean by writing?" ”

Seeing that I couldn't speak for a long time, Mo'er pulled Xuanwu away, "Let's go, let me tell you what it means." ”

I took out the strip of white cloth from my pocket, wiped the dust off the stone surface, and picked up a half-burned piece of wood from the stove. After thinking about it again and again, he wrote on the stone, "There are no words for each other, but a thousand tears." ”

In my opinion, this is not just a simple stone, but more like the three-life stone made by Nuwa Niangniang.

Legend has it that everyone has a piece of their own Sansheng Stone, after the death of a person, to Huangquan Road, passing by the Nai He Bridge can see the Sansheng Stone, it stands upright on the opposite side of the Nai He Bridge, looking at those who are ready to drink Meng Po soup in the red dust, and re-enter the reincarnation of the people. The Sansheng Stone can reflect the appearance of the people in the previous life, the cause planted in the previous life, the fruit swallowed in this life, the origin and fall, and the reincarnation, all of which are carefully engraved on the Sansheng Stone. For thousands of years, it has witnessed the suffering and happiness, sorrow and joy, laughter and tears, separation and unity of all living beings in the world. The debts owed, the debts that should be repaid, in front of Sanshengshi, a write-off......

It rained heavily at night, and when I went to look again in the morning, the words I wrote on the stone had been washed clean by the rain, but the words carved by Chu Muxiu were clearer by the rain. Maybe God is hinting to me, God won't let me do this, so why should I be persistent?

The army had been gone for several days, but I didn't see any movement during the day, except that at night I occasionally saw an open fire burning on the beacon tower on the top of the mountain.

The fire broke out and the war broke out, and there was peace and tranquility around me, and there was chaos around him, my heart was like water, and he was in turmoil.

I hope he is safe and that he will return soon.

On the seventh day after the expedition, he returned with his army, and I sat down on the stones, heard the sound of the horses, and slowly got up and turned my head to look at him. Although he was wearing iron armor, he was also cut by a sword and a knife, his hair was unkempt, his clothes were tattered, but fortunately his face was not tense, and it looked like a satisfaction that had been lost for a long time. Look at him and then look at Qianche, I probably already know the result. The soldier looked at the whole half of the people, and the battle was indeed extremely dangerous.

Lessons learned, after a period of fighting, although the army lost half, but the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was defeated by the corner, the Xiongnu saw the situation and fled in panic, destroyed the king of Xiliang, destroyed the three brothers of Shen Lin and Xiao, the people of Xiliang were leaderless, fleeing, running, Xiliang completely fell apart, and the Xiongnu undoubtedly followed the defeat.

He dismounted and said to me, "Return triumphantly, nine deaths." ”

I said, "It's finally over." ”

He will be able to return to the court tomorrow and face his daytime fight.

Xiliang and the Xiongnu were finally destroyed, and Chu Muxiu sent people to send a message back to Huancheng. His Majesty frowned, looking down at the queen beside her, she was speechless and had already lost her soul.

In fact, at the moment when Xiliang was destroyed, I suddenly felt that God was fair, good and evil would be rewarded in the end, and the queen finally realized my original pain.

But instead of the joy I should have, I was a sour breath in my heart. In this world, thousands of lives have been lost.

When the common people heard that the battle had been won, they were all overjoyed and overjoyed, and at such a moment, according to the rules, His Majesty would definitely have fun with the people.

In the evening, the green pothos changed into auspicious clothes for the queen's mother, and when she saw the queen's distraction, she comforted, "Niangniang, if you don't want to go, the green pothos will take a leave of absence for your majesty?" ”

"No need, when the whole country celebrates, the dignified queen is not present, isn't it a joke and stingy."

The green pothos breathed a sigh of relief and continued to help the queen change her clothes.

The queen changed into a red auspicious dress, just like when she first came to Tianyue. She sat in front of the mirror, smoothed the hair on her chest, and asked, "Pothos, how many years have we been in Tianyue?" ”

While helping the queen put on the hairpin, Luluo thought for a while before saying, "It's been twelve years." ”

"Time flies so fast......"

Tonight's Huancheng is very lively, with colorful lights and fireworks in the sky, and the same is true outside the border.

After tossing and working for a few months, before the class returned to the court tomorrow, Chu Muxiu wanted the soldiers to relax, prepared a lot of good wine and food, and decided to celebrate in the evening.

Qian Che hung the Tianyue Banner on the top of the highest tent, and the flag fluttered in the wind, announcing our victory.

Outside the tent, several groups of more than a dozen soldiers sat together, eating lively, an energetic soldier was drunk and muttered about cutting Xiliang people, and another soldier next to him patted his face, "You kid is stunned, Xiliang people have already been beaten back to their hometown by us." "The worries of the war for months, the sorrow of not seeing my family, seem to be pinned on that bowl of wine.

In addition to the roast lamb chops on the table, it is mutton bone soup, and I can't get used to eating the whole table, so I pick up a mouthful of rice and put it in my mouth from time to time, feeling dry and drinking some water. When I remembered that when I went to look for Xuanwu, Chu Mu Xiu pulled me and took out a bag of beef jerky from his pocket.

I looked at him in amazement, and he motioned for me to take it, where did he get his beef jerky outside such a border gate?

I took the beef jerky and sat down halfway through. I seemed to see a light smile on the corner of Chu Muxiu's mouth, and I suddenly realized that I had fallen into his trap, and a bag of beef jerky wanted to trap me.

So, I went from nibbling rice to nibbling on beef jerky, and beef jerky was much better than rice.

Halfway through eating, Chu Muxiu stood up with a wine glass, "Brothers, the road is dangerous, the people of Xiliang are treacherous and cunning, although they have won a great victory, our army has also suffered heavy losses, this time it can be said that it is a backwater battle with Xiliang, everyone has worked hard, I am here to toast everyone with tea instead of wine." ”

I only saw Chu Muxiu drink wine once, in my impression, he doesn't like to drink, he said that although wine is a good thing, if you drink too much, you will make mistakes and even mislead people.

"Huh?" A small soldier sitting with us snatched the wine glass from Chu Muxiu's hand, "The wine glass and wine glass should be used for drinking, Your Highness can drink tea when he fights on weekdays, and now that he is victorious, he must drink some wine!" ”

"Go and go, it'll itch if you don't skin for a few days, right, go back and fine you half of your military salary." Qian Che chased the little soldier while taking the wine glass and handing it to Chu Muxiu.

When Chu Mu was about to drink, a few small soldiers began to coax again, poured a glass full of wine and stuffed it into my hand, I was startled, "Your Highness doesn't drink it, otherwise...... The princess toasted for Her Royal Highness? ”

"Don't fool around!" Chu Muxiu wanted to snatch the wine glass in my hand, but a few coaxing soldiers formed a wall to stop him.

They were so loud and screaming that I grabbed the glass in my hand and hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm not a princess, and I don't drink." ”

As soon as my words fell, they stopped making trouble, the scene was instantly quiet, the little soldiers hung their heads and didn't catch Chu Muxiu, Chu Muxiu didn't struggle anymore, his jubilant face gradually pulled down, everything was as if nothing had happened.

I think I said the wrong thing, but when I think about it, I'm telling the truth.

The little soldiers all sat down and started chatting again, Chu Muxiu didn't say a word, took the wine in my hand and poured it into his mouth, drank one cup after another, until he drank the pot of wine on the table.

I knew I couldn't persuade him, so I just left, and when I left, he drank even harder.

When Qian Che called me over, Chu Muxiu was lying on the table with a flushed face, probably drunk.

I asked Qianche, "There are so many soldiers, why do I come to help him?" ”

"You don't want to?"

I didn't speak, just glanced at Qianche.

Qian Che and I helped him into the tent, Chu Muxiu kept shaking his head, Qian Che was broken all the way, saying that His Highness has never drunk so much wine, and I don't know what happened today.

Finally put Chu Muxiu down on the bed, he grabbed my hand as soon as he lay down, I couldn't break it, and then he directly spread his head on my arm. Qian Che actually laughed, and then ran faster than a rabbit.

I asked Chu Muxiu while holding his hand: "Chu Muxiu, are you drunk, let go of my hand if you are not drunk." ”

He ignored me all the time, wiped my arms with his face, swallowed his saliva and slept more soundly.

I was helpless in my heart, looking out of the tent, I was enduring it in my heart, and I couldn't help kicking him off.

Before I could come back to my senses, he somehow pulled me over and pressed me under him. I glared at him, he opened his confused eyes to look at me, I struggled, he was drunk and knew how to hold my hand hard. He leaned down slowly, and a strong smell of wine came to his nose, closer and closer, closer and closer, and I actually closed my eyes tightly, expecting nothing, just wanting to escape.

With a plop, I didn't expect him to fall asleep on top of me like this.

I reached out and patted him in the face, "Hey, hey, wake up!" "I couldn't hold back any longer, I was actually angry in my heart, and pushed him to the other side with both hands.
