Chapter Ninety-Six: Be Honest
"Brother Qi, you treat me like a brother and an elder, teach me carefully, and even sacrifice yourself to save you in Binghe, and your kindness is like a mountain. Now that you are in trouble, if I stand idly by, will I not be ungrateful and become a seven-foot man in vain? What qualifications do you have to talk about making meritorious contributions and serving the country loyally? ”
Shangguan Jiyue saw the handsome young man's eyes shining under the candlelight, and the eyes were sincere, and he sighed softly while being moved in his heart.
She slowly walked over to another chair at the table and sat down, reached for the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Mo Yi herself, and pushed it in front of him. After pondering for a moment, he raised his head, stared into his eyes through the warm yellow candlelight, and said slowly: "Mo Yi, even if Jian'an City is a tiger's den in Longtan this time, I must go and break through, because I want to return to the battlefield openly." ”
"But, Brother Qi, you obviously ......" Mo Yi suddenly paused when he said this, lowered his eyes and lowered his voice, and said, "You are obviously a daughter's family, why do you have to go to the land of death and life to risk your life?" ”
When Shangguan Jiyue heard this, she felt as uncomfortable as tearing in her heart, and the pair of plain hands on the table couldn't help but clench slowly, and slowly closed her eyes that were full of pain. After a long time, he slowly relaxed his fingers, reopened his eyes, and looked at Mo Yi and asked without answering: "Mo Yi, do you know what the name of the marksmanship I taught you is?" ”
"Brother Qi only said that it was a family tradition of marksmanship, and he never told Mo Yi the name of this set of marksmanship."
"Today I decided to sue you," Shangguan Jiyue looked at Mo quietly for a while, slowly stood up, turned around and walked to the window, stared at the boundless night outside the window, and said in a voice ethereal and desolate, "That's the Flying Cloud Spear......"
As soon as Mo heard this, his body was shocked, he stood up from the chair suddenly, suddenly raised his eyes to look at Shangguan Jiyue's somewhat stiff back, and said in shock: "Feiyun Gun?!" ”
"It's the Flying Cloud Spear that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Shangguan family of the Nanchi Protector Mansion."
Shangguan Jiyue didn't turn around, but the pair of eyes looking out of the window were already full of water, and when the eyelashes trembled slightly, the hot ones had broken out of the frame, and they ran down their cheeks like beads, wetting the placket on their chests.
At this moment, under her silent appearance, her heart was already turbulent and painful. Thinking of the tragic scene at that time, his eyes were still full of blood red.
"Brother Qi...... You...... You ......" Mo Yi trembled his lips and looked at the slender figure by the window, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.
Shangguan Jiyue suddenly turned around at this time and looked straight at Mo Yi. Her face was pale, her eyes were blood-red, and her tone turned sharply: "My name is not Qi Yu, I am the daughter of Shangguan Peize, the general of the Zhenguo Dynasty, Shangguan Jifeng, the sister of the major general Shangguan Jiyang-Shangguan Jiyue!" ”
"Brother Qi......"
Looking at Mo Yi's eyes full of shock and disbelief, Shangguan Jiyue's scarlet eyes full of tears were full of grief and indignation. The pain was so extreme that he looked up to the sky and sneered a few times, but the laughter was also full of sadness and pain, which was extremely painful to listen to.
"I am loyal to the official mansion, defend the country, and be worthy of the monarch and the people. The men of my Shangguan family are stationed at the border all the year round, fighting everywhere, and the blood stains the yellow sand. In the end, he died tragically at the hands of the monarch to whom he swore allegiance, and his family was destroyed, and the name of loyalty and goodness for generations was ruined, and he was scolded and despised by the people of the world. Every time I dream back at midnight, I hear their cries of grief and indignation, and see them covered in blood and die a miserable death. They looked back frequently on the Huangquan Road, lingered on the Nai He Bridge, and wept and forgot about the river...... It is like a deep hatred of the sea, a hatred to the bones, I will definitely sword the tyrant to comfort the soul of the five hundred heroic souls of my Shangguan Mansion in the sky! ”
The first time Mo Yi saw Shangguan Jiyue like this, his heart suddenly felt painful. He took a few steps forward and stretched out his arms to give her a hug. But at last she stopped three steps in front of her, and her arms fell down, and she stood there motionless.
In this situation, no matter what he said was inappropriate, it could not reduce the hatred and pain buried deep in his heart by the woman in front of him, and he could only stand there with her and feel sad.
After a while, Shangguan Jiyue finally calmed down, raised her head slightly and wiped away the tears on her face with her fingertips, then looked at Mo Yi, slowed down her tone, and said slowly: "Mo Yi, go back." I have made up my mind, and I will persuade the emperor to let me go on the battlefield as a woman when I return to Jian'an. ”
Mo Yi stood in place, he knew that no matter what he said, his big brother Qi would not follow him. The things she carried on her body were too heavy, and even if she was as resolute as she was, she could endure so hard.
The two looked at each other in the room like this, and after a long time, Mo Yi pulled the corners of his dry lips and spit out: "Brother Qi, you must be careful when you go to Jian'an this time." ”
"I will."
"Mo Yi replaces wine with tea, I wish Brother Qi a smooth journey and get his wish as soon as possible!" Mo Yi slowly moved his steps, turned around and walked to the table, picked up the tea that had already been cold on the table, raised his head and drank it all, knelt on one knee, clenched his teeth, bowed heavily, and said, "Mo Yi will say goodbye to Brother Qi!" ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Shangguan Jiyue to react, he got up quickly, didn't look back, strode out of the door, walked through the corridor, and "pedaled" down the stairs.
After a while, I heard the neighing of horses outside, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually became indistinct from near and far.
Brother Qi, don't worry. Since Mo Yi has inherited the marksmanship of the Shangguan family, and has a righteous relationship with you, and has lived and died together with you, I will bear this blood feud with you, and I will not share the sky with the tyrant of Nanchi......
On the roof of the small inn, Shangguan Jiyue watched Mo Yi go away.
Watching him slowly disappear into the night by himself, blending into the night, there was no trace of him. Only then did his eyelashes tremble slightly, his eyes drooped slightly, and he calmly said slowly to the silent night sky: "The frost and cold are heavy, is Commander Xiao planning to spend the night here all the time?" ”
As soon as Shangguan Jiyue's words fell, she felt a breeze blowing, and on the roof, where she was the only one just now, Xiao Hong stood ten steps away from her. The tall and sturdy figure stepped on the tiles, and he didn't make a sound, and he looked at Shangguan Jiyue with burning eyes: "When did you find me?" ”
"What does Commander Xiao think?" Shangguan Jiyue smiled faintly, met Xiao Hong's gaze, and said unhurriedly, "Mo Yi and I had such a lively fight in the house, and you lived next door, but you didn't come out to take a look." Isn't that suspicious? ”
"Maybe Xiao fell into the ** incense of one of your little brothers, and he couldn't wake up!"
"Xiao Tong was born in the army, has outstanding martial arts, is in charge of more than 10,000 shadow guards, and is responsible for the safety of the entire imperial city. If Commander Xiao was so easy to fall in love with Mo Yi's way, wouldn't the emperor not know people and trust people to be intrusted? ”
When Xiao Hong heard this, he laughed a few times, and said loudly: "If you really can't hide it from General Qi, Xiao Mou has been frank and upright all his life, but now he has been a gentleman on the beam once, and he was arrested, which made General Qi laugh." ”
Xiao Hongming knew that Shangguan Jiyue was a woman, and he shouted at General Qi, whether it was his expression or tone, there was not the slightest hint of hypocrisy and contempt, which showed that he really respected Shangguan Jiyue.
