Everything in the past was messily scattered in front of me, and the tall body of the majestic shore finally shattered, shattered into many pieces, and flew down lightly, like light goose feathers. [No pop-ups. 】
Suddenly, the midnight bell was struck and a group of children came running and crashed into her. A little girl fell to the ground and sat down with the lantern in her hand, it was a small fish, not very similar, white, red eyes, it looked like a rabbit, and a gold ingot was painted on its belly. The child held the broken lamp and began to cry, the more he cried, the louder he became, Chu Qiao stopped in a daze, then squatted down, stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears, and took out a silver ingot from his arms and was about to stuff it into her.
At this moment, a deafening sound of firecrackers suddenly came, and after the time of the New Year's celebration, firecrackers were lit in every household. The child was stunned, stupidly forgot to cry, covered his ears and screamed excitedly.
Chu Qiao seemed to have been punched by an invisible giant, and his face was bloodless for a moment.
"If you die, I'll set off a hundred firecrackers to celebrate that I don't have to remember to repay you again." The man smiled, and his eyebrows did not hide his pride, "I'm afraid you don't have this opportunity to set off firecrackers." ”
The sound of firecrackers became louder and louder, crackling in a string, Chu Qiao suddenly burst into tears, and those pictures that were hidden in her memory and suppressed by her efforts once again erupted like a torrent, and the heart-rending pain hit her instantly, shattering her calmness and self-sufficiency.
"You...... What's wrong with you? The child was frightened by her and shouted loudly at the sound of firecrackers, "Don't you cry, I don't need you to compensate, can't I?" ”
The sound of firecrackers became louder, and Chu Qiao finally couldn't bear it anymore, kneeling on the lively and festive street, covering his face and crying loudly. The pool outside suddenly made a gurgling sound, the wind blew in, blowing open another window, Chu Qiao stood up and went to close the window, but saw that the old plum under the root of the house had grown as tall as the house. She couldn't help but be stunned, and her outstretched hand in the air stopped in a daze, the moonlight shining on her wrist, mottled and shadowy.
In a blink of an eye, two years have passed, and the newly planted plum trees in the past have reached the height of the eaves.
Time is really the most heartless thing in the world, it never stops because of any joy and sorrow, and when it leaves in a hurry, any once intense emotions will gradually cool down.
That night, she left Yunbi City and walked for half a month, and finally arrived in Beishuo. Then one morning, when she walked out of the Beishuo City Gate along the deserted Beishuo Street, she saw thousands of Yanbei people.
They had the local residents of Beishuo City, as well as the people who came from far inland, Shangshen, Sunset Mountain, Lancheng, Chidu, Huihuishan, and Meilin, and the people knew the news that she was leaving, and they came together without saying a word. She had encountered many such teams along the way, but she didn't know them, and they didn't bother her, but they followed quietly all the way, until this time, they gathered at the gate of Beishuo City, watched her quietly, and sent her on her last journey.
In the crowd, there were white-haired old people, young and weak children, blue-eyed outsiders, businessmen who came from the Eastern Continent to do business, Chidu militiamen who had fought side by side with her against the Great Xia army, and the people of Beishuo who escaped death under her protection, Shangshen people who participated in her road construction and trade, and even the herdsmen who returned to the mountains to herd horses and sheep.
The men went out of the city early in the morning, and quietly lined up on both sides of the road to make way for an empty passage, and when they saw her come out, they all looked at her in unison.
Chu Qiao still can't forget those eyes, there are reluctance, sadness, retention, sadness, worry, and fear, but they turned these thousands of eyes into silence, even the three or four-year-old children didn't say a word, just looked at her quietly, looked at her quietly.
At that moment, she was so sad that she wanted to cry.
She knows her responsibility, in the past year, she has traveled all over the land of Yanbei, spreading the idea of peace to every corner of Yanbei, she led them to build their homes, and worked hard to restore production in the rear of the battle, they trusted and supported her wholeheartedly. This people, who had been oppressed for hundreds of years, had placed all their longing for freedom and hope for a better life in her, and now she was leaving, she was going to break her promise to them, she was going to leave them, and she was no longer asking her about the dreams she had fought for with all her might.
He Xiao stood in front with the nine thousand officers and soldiers of the Xiuli Army, fully armed, packed his bags, and looked like he was going to travel with her.
Needless to say, she could only stand there stunned, like a statue cast in stone.
Suddenly, a pair of small soft hands hugged her waist, she lowered her head, it was a teenage girl, she looked at her without saying a word, stubbornly tilted her head, tears in her eyes, just don't fall. Ping An ran over from behind and wanted to pull his sister away, but he couldn't.
Ping An was a soldier at that time, and when she was first sent to the inland of Yanbei by Yan Xun, Xiao Jingjing followed her for more than a year.
"Sister," Jingjing finally cried, tears streaming down her line, "Don't you want me?" Don't you want me? ”
The children began to cry, and the people stood there in rows, not knowing who knelt down first, and gradually a large number of people knelt on the ground, and the old people in their seventies and eighties cried all over the place, and asked repeatedly: "My lord, don't you want us?" ”
"My lord, you're not here, and I'm going to be taken as a slave again."
"My lord, where are you going? Shall I go with you? ”
……
The cold wind blew whirring, blowing up the snow on the ground, Chu Qiao, who was traveling far away, let go of the reins of his horse, raised his head, looked at the bright sun, and tears flowed down the corners of his eyes in rows, falling into the thick sideburns.
The weight of responsibility weighed on her shoulders and left her breathless.
She knew who was manipulating it all, but she couldn't escape, he knew her too well, so he could eat her to death with a small trick.
On that day, she seemed to shed a lifetime of tears. Standing on the vast snow, she only felt like a kite held in her hand, with no line, and she didn't know where to flee if she wanted to.
She stayed in this way, living halfway up the mountain back to the mountain, for two years.
In the past two years, she watched him, watched him levy troops and pay taxes, watched him conquer cities, watched him implement a military service system that was even more harsh than that of Great Xia, watched him eradicate dissidents step by step, and sat firmly in the iron bucket of Yanbei.
She sometimes thinks that life is a wonderful thing, it can always give you hope in times of despair, make you keep going, and then when you are about to get closer to hope, you can douse all your dreams with a basin of cold water.
Yan Xun succeeded after all, and Da Xia couldn't raise his head under his suppression.
After Zhuge Yue's death, although Zhuge Yue hurriedly cleared himself, expelled Zhuge Yue from the family tree and swept out of the house, he didn't even bury his body in the family cemetery. But despite this, they were still implicated, their status in the Council of Elders was not as good as before, Zhuge Huai was also belittled, and he fell again and again, although Zhuge Muqing was still trying to redeem and actively support the side children of the family, but the effect was obviously not good.
As Zhuge Yue's direct boss, Zhao Che couldn't escape the fate of being demoted. This prince, who had several ups and downs, was once again demoted to the northeast border and went to a barren place to supervise the construction of a completely unnecessary military project, and stayed away from the political arena of Great Xia.
The most unimaginable thing is that the fourteenth prince Zhao Yang will form an alliance with Wei Valve, with the support of Wei Guang, Zhao Yang became the premier prince of Great Xia, and was named the king of Zhou, Wei Shuye also rose to the top, and dominated the military power of Yanming Pass.
The power structure of Great Xia has been reshuffled, but it is not difficult for discerning people to find that the previous domineering has gradually moved away from Great Xia, and in the face of Yanbei's iron cavalry and strong soldiers, they seem to be more and more powerless. Although Wei Shuye is also quite talented in military affairs, Yan Xun's skills are superior, and there is domestic political interference, so he has to gradually change from offensive to defensive, and this year, it has become more and more obvious that he is tired.
Now Simon is divided, Bian Tang and Li Ce have firmly sat on the throne, the eldest princess of the Song Dynasty, Nalan Hongye, is in charge, Yan Xunhu is in the northwest, and Daxia is across the river, and there is no dominance.
However, despite this, Yan Xun never dared to break through Great Xia easily, because in the southwest of Helan Mountain, a new regime suddenly appeared in everyone's sight, no one knew the origin of that regime, and no one even knew their actual number, only vaguely knew through the past business trips and scouts sent out that the leader of that regime called himself "King of Qinghai".
Qinghai, located south of Helan Mountain and west of Cuiwei Mountain, is rumored to be a deserted and scorching hot and barren area, where wild beasts are rampant and no grass grows. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, it was the place of exile for prisoners by the major regimes on the mainland, and it was rumored that almost none of the people there could survive, either becoming the food of wild beasts, or dying of various strange diseases. Yes, exile in Qinghai has always been synonymous with death, and even some people would rather die in Simon than step into Qinghai half a step, and for many years, the prisoners who committed suicide in Cuiweiguan have not known the geometry.
However, it is such a place where poisonous insects are everywhere, fierce beasts are rampant, and there is no grass, but suddenly a political power is born like a meteor.
On July 17, 778, Yan Xun personally sat in the town, commanded an army of 70,000, and attacked the south gate of Yanming Pass. They were vigorous, fierce in battle, moved like the wind, and were as fast as wolves, inserting themselves into the left flank of the Yanbei Army like knives, crushing the offensive of the Yanbei Army. However, just as Yan Xun hurriedly turned his horse's head to fight back, they disappeared out of air.
It wasn't until much later that the scouts found them in Cuiwei Pass, which is now occupied by a man named the "King of Qinghai".
This is really a thunderbolt from the blue for Yanbei. Because Cuiwei Pass is located near Helan Mountain, west of Chishui, this shows that in addition to the dog Rong people outside Meilin Pass, there is another enemy called King Qinghai in the rear of Yanbei. And what's worse is that Meilin Pass is in the hands of Yanbei, and Cuiwei Pass is owned by the king of Qinghai.
Just look at the refreshing one
