CHAPTER XIX

Yun Shu and Si Shengnan's conversation was not pleasant, after returning to the Moon Villa, he locked himself in the study alone, and looked through all the records about the situation in Anliang, and now Anliang is divided into three forces, one is the Jin King faction headed by Zheng Yushi, the other is the Prince faction headed by Yuan Taiwei, and the other is the neutral faction headed by Tao Chengxiang. In the past two years, the struggle between the King of Jin and the prince's faction has shifted from the secret to the open, but no matter how hard the two major forces fight, Prime Minister Tao is not biased towards either side, but in this struggle, no one can really stay out of the matter, Si Shengnan once looked for Prime Minister Tao, but it was in vain.

And this Tao Cheng has a son and a daughter, his son Tao Yi is talented, is a rare pillar of talent, known as "Anliang's first talent", mild temperament, weak appearance, but has a mind for the country and the people. And her daughter Tao Ying is as beautiful as a flower, and she is also a talented woman who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

She has seen Tao Yi once, and the two can talk about it, the impression is quite good, he is indeed very talented, if he can use it for his own use, he will have a few more chances of returning to the country, besides, how can such a beautiful young man be won over by a sanctimonious guy like Si Shengnan, it is not a pity.

Yun Shu put the book in his hand back on the shelf, sorted out all the messy things, then stood up and took care of the wrinkled dress, called Nan Kai, who was standing outside the door and waiting, and wrote a letter for him to hand over to Si Yuebai.

Nankai took the letter in his hand and did not leave in a hurry, but looked at Yun Shu with a tired face, and said: "There is news from the Northern Wei Dynasty, the King of Wei is ill and has not been in the court for three days, Empress Chen has promised to ally with us, as long as we wait for a while, with the help of An Liang and Xiyan, the Northern Wei Dynasty will definitely be defeated, and the matter will end soon." ”

After reading the book for too long, his eyes were a little sore, Yun Shu closed his eyes, pinched his eyebrows, and sighed heavily, this long sigh represented many hardships and tribulations.

"It's okay, I've been waiting for ten years, what's the big deal if I wait a little longer."

Yun Shu thought about these things, only felt a headache, waved his hand to let Nan Kai out, and Si Yuebai's face flashed in his mind.

And on this day, Shen Xingzhi took the initiative to find her and asked her to meet Biting Lake, she knew that he should have found her because of Si Shengnan, but she did not regret what she had done, she had always been such a proud person, she did not admit defeat, did not bow her head, and did not admit her mistakes.

Biting Lake is located under the cloud palace, surrounded by mountains on all sides, bamboo forest on the left, stream water on the right, the beautiful place of mountains and clear waters, famous because the lake water is turquoise, the pear blossom white reflection on both sides of the lake, the breeze steals the fragrance of flowers, withers and falls on the lake to face the morning sun and flood the point of pearl, sparkling. There is half of the moon arch bridge in Xishan called Sandu, one crosses birth, old age, sickness and death, two crosses love and hate and separates sorrow, three crosses their own body, legend says that this place is beautiful and magnificent, there was once such a story.

There is a monk and a girl in Hanshan Temple who first met in Biting Lake at a glimpse, but the monk is dedicated to the Buddha, the girl is dedicated to him, the girl waited for him for seven years, and finally could not escape being forced to marry by her parents, and the monk returned to the vulgar on the day she got married, but still failed to see her for the last time. But she didn't know that it was not that he didn't want to come to see her, but that the monk's mother had passed away and returned to his hometown to deal with the aftermath. The monk didn't be able to look at her in the end, and later built a house in Biting Lake and planted many pear blossom trees, and this monk was the previous presiding officer of Hanshan Temple, Du Ru.

Sandu, the first monk and Buddhism are attached, the second monk and the girl's love is deep-rooted, and the Sandu monk sees through the red dust and returns to the vulgar. I thought I was saving her, but I didn't think about it, but I lost her life, and in the end I realized that it was not the Buddha who really saved him, but her.

The reflection of the lake of Sandu Bridge presents the full moon, the pear blossoms float on the water, and there is a day of full moon in the perfect full moon, just like the night covers the whole lake, it is pitch black, there is no full moon and no round moon, in the end it is still a mirror flower and water moon, a touch is fleeting.

When Yun Shu arrived at Biting Lake, Shen Xingzhi was already standing on the Sandu Bridge with his back to him, his tall and heroic posture really deserved a good son, she shouted Xingzhi, and the other party turned around and stood straight on the bridge looking at her.

Yun Shu was dressed in plain white clothes, a white hosta fixed hairpin, a green silk like a waterfall scattered behind her ears at will, her skirt moved with the wind, like a white jasmine flower, coincidentally, she touched the jasmine-scented balm that day, walked up the bridge slowly, and came to Shen Xingzhi's side, but she didn't stop at him as before, she looked at the green mountains and green waters in the distance, the beauty is indeed beautiful, but the mountains and rivers in all parts of the country are always the same, and she doesn't feel interesting when she sees more, closes her eyes and doesn't say a word.

Shen Xingzhi always felt that the person in front of her was a little different from before, and couldn't help but look into his mind, and asked calmly, "Si Shengnan looked for you, but you refused, why?" ”

Yun Shu listened to Shen Xingzhi's words with his eyes closed, a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, knowing that the friendship between the two was really as good as rumored, and then replied to him in a calm and detached tone, "Are you questioning me?" ”

Shen Xingzhi turned her back when she heard this, and the two turned their backs to each other like this, no one spoke, as if there was a barrier in the middle, and the breeze blew through the withered petals to her side, bursting with fragrance, she opened her eyes, stretched out her hand to catch a yellowed and withered cherry blossom, stared at the flower in the palm of her hand, her thoughts drifted out, came back to her senses, and broke the silence.

"If you love me, you won't easily listen to what others say about me, but you do."

Shen Xingzhi chuckled in his heart, Yun Shu woke him up, maybe as Yun Shu said, he didn't love Yun Shu so much, it was just an illusion, but he was indeed a little different from Yun Shu, and he fell into deep thought.

"I don't believe it, so I want to hear from you."

Yun Shu sneered, pinched the cherry blossom in his palm, threw it in the wind, then looked at him sideways, said a word, and finally turned to leave.

"You want to hear me? Say what? I rejected Si Shengnan, I also have my own plans, if you really believe it, you won't ask me, but you still ask, in the end, you just don't believe me, since that's the case, you don't need to say more, don't say it in the future, let's stop here. ”

The girl in white in the wind was in a trance, a little sad, turned around very resolutely, but couldn't stop looking back, that reluctant look like saying goodbye to something, it was her first love that had died before it began. When she walked away, the man in black looked in the direction she left, his eyes were full of hesitation, he didn't know whether to go up and chase her, he did like her, but they were opposites, he still didn't chase, many years later, recalled the scene at this time, if he let go of the chase at that time, would it be different, but things have been missed.
