Chapter 18: The Sunset on the Long River

"What do you say? Who recovered the capital? Ni Tingxuan's voice lost its tone due to extreme shock.

Su Mi next to him couldn't help but be shocked, who was it? Able to take advantage of this opportunity.

The little colonel who came to report hoarsely said the person who established this supreme feat: "It is the northern soldiers and horses who originally guarded the Yuguan. ”

It's Mu Qinghan's team!

"How could he have entered the capital? There was also an army of 100,000 in the capital. Ni Tingxuan couldn't help but ask.

For such a tempting achievement as recovering the capital, the Ni family is also always paying attention, even if Ni Yuan led the army to entrench in Nanchen, and Ni Tingxuan went on an expedition to Northern Liao, he has not relaxed the movement of the capital.

Sufficient troops have already been prepared and are waiting on the border of Yongzhou.

Once there is a gap in the Liao people in the capital, they will immediately move westward and capture the capital.

Although after the decisive battle with Ni Yuan, the Liao army's forces suffered great losses, but there are still nearly 100,000 troops stationed in it, and the walls of the capital are high and deep, the grain and grass are sufficient, and the garrison is strictly organized, which is far from being comparable to a city like Xijing.

Therefore, the forces of all parties have not been able to find an opportunity.

"I heard that someone in the capital secretly ......," Xiao Xiao's throat coughed a few times because of dryness.

"You'll go through the details, don't be in a hurry. Su Mi said. While handing the water on the table to him.

The little colonel took the water cup gratefully and glanced at Ni Tingxuan's face. I dared to drink it, moistened my mouth, and began to tell the story of the recovery of the capital.

Since Ni Yuan's defeat of the Liao army, Yeluxin returned to the capital with the remnants of the defeat, and began to close the city, hoping to rely on the stability of the city to confront the Qi army and wait for a turnaround.

And Ni Yuan's troops suffered too many losses. I had to temporarily retreat to the eastern Yuzhou area and rest and rectify. Prepare for another battle.

It was to take advantage of such an opportunity that Mu Qinghandi, who had been entrenched in Laizhou and almost secluded from the world, began to dispatch Chen Bing under the city.

At that time, Ni Yuan got the news of Mu Qinghan's move, and after hearing it, he just snorted coldly, Mu Qinghan's move was obviously to pick up the cheap. But it was too early to start.

The capital is a fat and beautiful cream eyed by all forces, but with the tiger of Yeluxin entrenched, no force dares to act rashly.

Although now the tiger has been injured. But the wounded tiger only gets crazier.

With these soldiers and horses in Mu Qinghan's hands, it is impossible to capture the capital.

And the Liao army obviously thinks so. The strength of the capital of Qi is unparalleled in the world, and even Ni Yuan did not dare to rashly attack the city and lose troops, but chose to lead the Liao army out of the city for a decisive battle. What's more, Mu Qinghan.

Unexpectedly, Mu Qinghan's people had already buried a dark line in the capital.

It is Liu Quan, who is known as the richest man in Beijing. Originally, after the Liao army entered the city, he led the merchants in the capital to express his allegiance to Yeluxin, and then offered various jewelry and beauties many times, and took the initiative to prepare grain and grass equipment for the Liao people, and resisted the Liao people's Gaomi. Many loyal deeds finally won the trust of the Liao, and I heard that Yeluxin also gave him an official position, which gave him the opportunity to approach the city gate, and he has been secretly bribing and contacting the hard laborers who work at the city gate.

On September 12, those hard laborers who could not bear the torture of the Liao people launched a rebellion, and such small chaos was often seen at the beginning of the Liao people's entry into the capital, but after being bloodily suppressed again and again, those hard laborers seemed to have gradually become accustomed to the oppression of the Liao people, and did not dare to easily pick up the tiger's beard. Unexpectedly, he launched a rebellion at this time.

Yelusin, who had been hiding in the deep palace, was furious. clamoring to personally go and kill all these unknown minions. But before he had time to set off, he was seized by the masters sent by Mu Qinghan's subordinates at the same time. The assassination was successful.

It is said to have been an earth-shattering confrontation that ended with Jerichin and the Assassins.

There was chaos in the Liao army. Liu Quan secretly opened the city gate, put the soldiers and horses outside the city in, under the internal and external attacks, the Liao army was leaderless and could not resist, plus since they learned the news that their hometown capital was besieged, they had already returned to their hearts like arrows, so the Liao people did not resist fiercely, and finally chose to break through the siege and abandon the city that they had occupied for nearly two years.

Mu Qinghan finally recovered the Jingshi in one fell swoop......

Ni Tingxuan was secretly shocked when he heard this, in fact, the Ni family also ambushed many dark lines in the capital early, preparing to act as an internal response when recovering the capital, but when the Liao people turned their faces against them in Yongzhou, the whole city carried out repeated searches, and even killed all the informants they ambushed, such as Gao Shengnuo, and the Ni family's dark forces accumulated in the capital for decades were almost swept away, so that Ni Yuan had to choose to fight Yeluxin Yin* out of the city. He had never been able to understand where the Liao people had found such accurate information.

Now Mu Qinghan actually used the same method.

Assassin! Fight like Kilkenny cats!

At this time, only this sentence was left in Su Mi's ears.

She didn't hear her clearly, and an ominous premonition rose in her heart, and an inexplicable chill began to spread from her chest like a weed, and she felt her heart begin to pound, and her ears were full of thunderous sounds. It's the height of summer, but it's as cold as falling into an ice cellar.

She was in a state of unknown fear, and wanted to ask something, but she only felt that the corners of her mouth were dry and she could not open her mouth no matter what, as if the slightest force would crack due to the fear of transition.

"Who was the man who assassinated Jerodsin?" Ni Tingxuan couldn't help but ask about the details. There is such a master.

Su Mi's face turned white, and the palm holding the armrest was dripping with a trace of cold sweat.

Before she could figure out how she was going to take it. The name that showed infinite cruelty had blurted out from the mouth of the little school: "I heard that it is Wen Xian, a famous assassin master in the world." ”

Wen Xian is dead!

Su Mi's body couldn't help but shake, only to feel dizzy for a while, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be turned upside down. She felt that she was about to faint, but the painful feeling kept her awake alive.

Ni Tingxuan was still asking about the details of various aspects of such a battle, and the colonel answered them one by one truthfully. In Su Midi's ears, all the words lost their color. It turned into a buzzing sound, and the mind was left blank.

Wen Xian is for her. The real relationship is just a few short days, but in her heart, it occupies a strange position, maybe it is the same country and family collapse that makes her can't help but feel close, or the-for-tat life in those days is extraordinarily special, maybe his simple and chic attitude towards life makes her envious and jealous, yearning......

In Su Mi's heart. He has always been regarded as one of the few people who can truly be trusted by himself.

Moreover, Wen Xian went to help Ge Chengming because of her, escorting him all the way north, which made her feel indescribably guilty, and her heart felt a sharp pain like a cold and sharp cut, and the pain made her unable to even shed tears.

Originally, he didn't have to die, he should have been completely free from the ruin of these countries. What is bound by the feelings of hatred of destroying the country, he should fly freely in the rivers and lakes, sword fluttering, and ignore these rights and wrongs.

It was he who had to involve him in this circle.

She barely supported the table next to her, but accidentally touched the water glass to the ground, and the crisp and pleasant sound of the fine porcelain shattering came out. Ni Tingxuan reacted, turned his head and saw Su Mi, under the mask, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but the despair and pathos in her eyes made him couldn't help but tremble.

He panicked and hurriedly supported her: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm fine. Su Mi said reluctantly, but he couldn't speak.

She still dares to say that she is fine?! Ni Tingxuan was anxious to see the ground, and he couldn't care about the eyes of others, so he immediately picked her up and walked to the back tent.

"I'm fine. Su Mi struggled anxiously a few times. But I can't break free. had to let him hold himself and enter the inner tent.

Only the little colonel stood in the tent in a daze. Looking at the scene in front of him, Su Mi at this time was obviously a young man with an ordinary appearance......

Put Su Mi on the couch, Ni Tingxuan was about to call the medical officer, but the placket of his clothes was tightly pulled by Su Mi, "Don't call someone, I'm just a little tired." ”

Only then did Ni Tingxuan remember that Su Mi's own medical skills were far higher than all medical officers.

He was at a loss, not knowing what to do, Su Mi lowered his head and said, "You go and get busy first, I don't have anything, just take a rest." ”

Ni Tingxuan hesitated for a moment, and the tiredness on Su Mi's face made him feel depressed and almost suffocated. The recovery of the capital of Great Qi should be good news for her, but why is there such a panicked side?

For what?

After hesitating for a while, he still walked out, and he could see that Su Mi wanted to be alone for a while.

Closing the curtain of the tent, he saw through the crack that something was shining like a pearl across her cheek, and it flickered.

He lowered the curtain and turned to walk out.

Is it because of that warm string......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Looking up at the night sky on the prairie is always very quiet and moving, and people's thoughts can stretch far and far like the meadow under them.

Su Mi sat there quietly, looking up, the dark sky, even the stars became extremely rare tonight.

In the distance, there was a faint meandering sound of flute, and I don't know which homesick soldier poured out his thoughts about his family during the interval of the war. The grudge is insoluble and touching.

Under the pride of the battlefield of eight thousand miles of clouds and moons, there are many permanent partings and inseparable pains.

"Don't worry, I've quieted down. She whispered, as if to the person behind her, and as if she were speaking to herself.

The world is like a cloud of smoke, and it will eventually turn into nothingness.

Ni Tingxuan didn't speak, but took a step closer silently.

After half a ring, Su Mi turned his head to look at him,

The moonlight shone on her beautiful face, and her expression was as cold as this moonlight.

The momentary staring at each other was so long, "What are you going to do now?" Then, she lowered her head and asked softly.

You guys......

Tonight's starlight may be too cold, which makes Ni Tingxuan can't help but feel a kind of coolness in his heart.

Perhaps, in her heart, she has never belonged to the same realm as herself.

He had long been keenly aware that there had always been a strange defensiveness and mustard between her and him. This distance seems to be innate, appearing between the two of them. At the beginning, Ni Tingxuan thought that it was because Su Mi was jealous of her identity as a palace concubine, so naturally it was impossible for Yu Li to act, but when she lost her identity as a palace concubine and became a simple woman surnamed Gu, the invisible wall became even stronger, making it impossible for him to take a step forward.

In this period of Jin Ge Iron Horse days, in this time of mutual affection, under the orange light of this tent, this distance has been shortened.

But it was a short piece of news, but it brought all these changes back to the original point.

Why, exactly?

It's because of that warm string......

Ni Tingxuan's heart was stagnant, and he had also heard about Wen Xian.

How did they get acquainted, a concubine who favored the crown of the sixth palace, and an assassin who shocked the rivers and lakes.

Moreover, he still remembered that on the day of the night banquet in Tianxiangyuan, it was Wen Xian's sword that stabbed her in the chest......

Did the two know each other at that time?

It was still that imaginative that day, and a sword that happened to meet him connected her with him.

Ni Tingxuan's heart was hovering with countless doubts, but he couldn't ask a word.

But he's dead now. He quietly looked at the lonely and beautiful figure in front of him, and the thought of such a contempt that could not help but rise in his heart could not be suppressed.

He lowered his head, as if he was escaping, and said softly: "The next thing is naturally to clean up the post-war affairs here, and then we will prepare to go south and return to the capital." ”

All doubts could only wander in his mind, and finally turned into bitter wine, which he tasted quietly by himself.

The stars twinkled, the night breeze cooled, and the two sat side by side on the vast grass,

Everything in the world seems to freeze at this moment, but it still can't restrain the quiet passage of time.

Finally, the cold moon in the sky gradually sank in the west, and at the end of the horizon, a red light rose, intertwining with the emerald green earth below, burning people's eyes brightly and warmly.

Su Mi stood up silently.

Looking at her figure gradually moving away, Ni Tingxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and clenched his cold palm.

Looking back at the rising sun like fire, the sea of clouds is changing.

Under the rising sun, he was alone, unspeakably lonely.

Did it end between them, or did it never begin?

Was the war won, or was it just a short hibernation?
