345 Old Times
"You're right, that's it, let's get going." Old Lu Tou finally figured it out, and at the same time leaned slightly to the side.
Lou Qingyang immediately jumped out of the carriage, turned around and gave a deep salute to Zhao Ping'an, and took the little medicine maid away.
The pace is not in a hurry, nor is it slow, and in the case of a strong enemy, the psychological quality can be said to be leveraged.
And here, the convoy of the Great Xia people continued to move forward, and the speed was very slow for fear of upsetting their prince. But no matter how slow it is, it will slowly go to the border after all.
After Lou Qingyang on the other side returned to his own camp, he was brought to Mu Yuan for a moment.
"This is what the eldest princess gave to Xiaomin." After a slight salute, Lou Qingyang handed Mu Yuan a small folded note.
Very small, less than the size of a copper plate.
However, Mu Yuan's hand actually trembled a little.
The way it folds is very special, like a small fish. I don't know if Ping An was intentional or not, but it suddenly reminded him of the first time they met when he was a child.
The old times were like flowing water, flowing through his heart in an instant.
That year, Jin Duoshen, the old lord of Great Xia, went against the usual normal state of small harassment and suddenly invaded Dajiang Kingdom. My father was originally the Dinghai Divine Needle who guarded Qinfeng Road on the west side of Yongxing Military Road, although he had won and lost against Great Xia, he never let the iron hooves of the Great Xia people step into the land of a city and a town. But at that time, he was framed by his colleagues, so the Privy Council, which was controlled by waste, won three gold medals in a row and sent him back to the capital to report on his work.
That battle was the worst defeat of Dajiang in the past hundred years, allowing the Daxia people to break through Yongle City, and then drove straight into Lanzhou Mansion directly. They were like a sharp knife that almost pierced the heart of Dae Jiangguo. If it weren't for his father and General Tian, the brother of the current Empress Dowager, who was also idle due to party disputes, and General Liu, the former head of the Liu family, who were urgently recalled to the front line, fought bloody battles to the death and besieged the Xia army, the Dajiang Kingdom would have almost perished.
At that time, he was still very young, and he witnessed the collapse of the country and the collapse of the family, lost his gentle mother and kind eldest brother, and desperately survived the slaughter of the Great Xia people.
And the bloodshed, the slaughter, the humiliation, the scene of severed limbs, corpses, and the bright knife of the enemy, the arrogant laughter stimulated him, and made him feel the deepest fear, the strongest hatred, and the most boundless grief of life.
So he couldn't speak, he wanted to speak, but he couldn't say it, not a word. Not only that, but he also likes to hide in dark corners, and he doesn't even want the sun to shine. If he hadn't starved to death, he wouldn't even eat, and he was so thin that he was skinny and bones.
It was at that time that he saw peace for the first time.
Because of his exploits in driving the people of Daxia out of the country, his father was summoned to Beijing to accept the commendation and bring back the reward to Mu Jiajun. His father took him with him, after all, his father had not married the second mother at that time, let alone the existence of the third brother. He is the only descendant of the Mu family and the only heir of this branch of the Mu family.
The first emperor took pity on him for suffering from "aphasia", and specially let him live in the palace for some time, so as not to neglect his father because he was busy with official business. By the way, he found the best imperial doctor to diagnose him.
The first emperor probably knew that Ye Guifei was unreliable, so he specially begged the then queen mother, the current queen of the queen house, Hou Tian, to take care of him. But the first emperor didn't know that the Tian family seemed to be kind and kind, smiling all day long, like a Buddha, but in fact, he was cold-hearted, and the abuse and harm were not enough, but he did not care sincerely.
At that time, he was young, but he could see clearly.
But he was locked up in the huge palace, and even his father was far away, and he felt even more frightened and lonely. Peace appeared to him at this time. She is so small, with fleshy hands and feet, a round head and a round brain, snow-white and pink like a hot little meat bun.
To this day, when he dreams back at midnight, the first words she said to him still echo in his mind: Are you scared? Come, take my hand and be afraid.
So he took the fleshy little hand, and heard her say in an old-fashioned manner, "You probably have autism, wait for me to bring you out."
He didn't understand how Ping An had "created" such a peculiar word, but the literal meaning was so easy to understand and so apt.
yes, he's self-contained.
But from the moment peace appeared, he was destined to come out. She clinged to him every day, and her fragrant, soft little body snuggled up to him, making him feel lonely and cold, and his body finally eased. She fed him food and water, helped him steal snacks, and let him experience the joy of naughty since he was a child. She told him that she once had a yin-yang face puppy named Tangyuan, which made him want to be her puppy. She also told him a lot of strange things, so that he knew that the world was so vast.
She was so lively and lovely, unlike any woman he had ever seen.
Including mothers.
At that time, she was only five years old, but she was extremely gentle to him, and she was also very kind to the palace people, although she was a little stubborn, but she was never malicious, and she was completely free from the arrogance and unreasonableness of the eldest princess who was favored by the first emperor.
At that time, he thought that he would work hard to grow up and become strong, and no one could fight against the strong, so that the vicious dog of Great Xia would never catch his little meat bun.
The first time she kissed him, she kissed him on the nose, and he screamed in fright, and he was speechless again.
Yes, he's no longer autistic, he's all over the body. But only this heart was sealed for her, and since then she has never walked out, and no one can walk in again.
In the first few years, she sneaked out of the palace, traveled around, and walked to the northwest boundary. The first emperor issued a holy decree asking him to escort the eldest princess of Ping'an back to Beijing.
It was their reunion after many years.
No one knew how happy his heart was at it.
Although Ping An seems to have forgotten what happened when he was a child, he was not as good to him as he was when he was a child. However, how could this stop him from falling in love with her deeply. The tangled thoughts of dependence and protection when I was a child instantly turned into love and eternity.
It's because the love is too deep that I can't stand that ending. Although he had only experienced it in the memory of the third brother, the feeling of betrayal and spurning almost crushed him.
But when he got this note today, this little fish, his mood was actually cheerful.
When they were young, Ping was so kind to him, and when they grew up, they almost forgot about that childhood encounter, if she was trying to take advantage of it, how could it have been since she was five years old?
Even if peace later had another purpose, so what? Her life was given to her, and she should take it back.
Think about it again, how could she be fake her sadness when he left Beijing? Moreover, what he "saw with his own eyes" was through the eyes of the third brother, and the angle from which the third brother looked at the problem, must it be a fact?
Or, he really misunderstood peace.
