Chapter 165: Risking Your Life
It's another year of heavy snowfall, and it can bury the past and wash the future.
There are two or three black shadows floating in the white vastness, and there are still traces of people in the ten-mile pavilion.
The painting face is half leaning on the soft seat, staring into the distance. The fire next to it was burning vigorously, and from time to time there was a 'thunderclap'.
Shenglan half lifted the tea lid, and the steaming tea was full of fragrance.
She handed the tea to Hua Yan and carefully instructed, "Miss, drink some hot tea to ward off the cold." ”
Hua Yan took the teacup and put it in his hand to keep warm, and turned around and said, "They should also arrive, you should also prepare." ”
Sheng Lan nodded, removed the boiling teapot from the fire, and brewed three more cups of hot tea.
As soon as the tea was brewed, I saw three black shadows flash in the snow in the distance, and the black shadows quickly moved in the direction of Shili Pavilion, getting bigger and bigger, until they were completely revealed.
The corners of Huayan's mouth rose slightly, she put down the teacup, slowly got up and walked towards the three people who had just dismounted outside the pavilion, leaned over slightly and said, "Lord Wang." ”
Liu Che'er brushed off the snowflakes on his face, took a closer look, and then said in surprise: "How could Yan'er be here?" ”
Yutai Mingyue, who was accompanying her, immediately leaned over and apologized and said, "The prince forgives the sin, it was the minister who informed Miss Huayan." ”
"Shantai, you ......" Liu Che'er was a little annoyed, he tried every possible way to hide it, and he didn't bring a single soldier, he just didn't want Huayan to know and participate in it, because he was affected.
Hua Yan smiled, pulled the sulking Liu Che'er in, and glanced at the snowflakes behind him, "Come in." ”
The four of them sat around the table, and the temperature of the tea was just right.
Huayan glanced at the three of them, and saw that they all had stiff faces, bowed their heads and said nothing, so he smiled at Liu Che'er and said, "Doctor Shang is afraid that you will risk your life, so I asked me to persuade you, he has done his duty." ”
"I don't know, it's just that I don't want you to take risks with this king, Peicheng is not only the most important king, but the people there! This king's trip to Beijing this time is decided! Liu Che'er looked at Tai Mingyue and Shangguan Zhanfeng reproachfully, and said indignantly.
Both of them bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.
"I asked them to escort the prince, the road is far away, the prince must not make a mistake, and the people in the city are still waiting for the prince to redeem." Hua Yan said lightly.
Liu Che'er raised her head in surprise and asked, "Yan'er agrees with me to enter Beijing?" You really don't stop me? ”
Huayan put down the teacup, looked at Liu Che'er seriously, and said: "I respect the prince's choice, because I know that the prince is a good prince of the people and a good monarch of the world, how can I stop it?" The prince just does what you have to do, and I have everything. ”
Liu Che'er looked up at the painted face, and a crystal light flashed in his eyes. What a good person he should have missed, if there was an afterlife......
Liu Che'er didn't think about it anymore, he resolutely got up, walked to the outside of the pavilion, stopped again, and looked down at the snow a foot deep under his feet.
But with a cup of tea, the snow had covered up the footprints of their arrival.
"Say return, the years are endless, now I come to think, the rain and snow are falling." Liu Che'er looked up and smiled, turned around and swept onto the horse's back.
No matter what time it is, his poetic realm never disappears.
The painting was sent to the door, and his eyes calmly watched Liu Che'er get on the horse and go away, until his back was completely hidden.
At this time, Huayan smiled, but for some reason, he felt much more relaxed in his heart.
She really didn't see the wrong person, Liu Che'er lived up to the expectations of the world, and exchanged her own body for the lives of ordinary people, and this kind act will definitely be repaid to him in the future.
"Don't stand still, how about sitting down with me and enjoying the snow?" Huayan returned to his original position and sat down, looking at the long-awaited Mingyue and Shangguan Zhanfeng.
Tantai Mingyue hurriedly approached Huayan's side and said, "Miss, you, you don't persuade the prince, why do you condone him!" ”
Shangguan Zhanfeng and Tangtai Mingyue had the same idea, but for some reason, he didn't dare to accuse her face-to-face. He just threw his sword on the table angrily and sat down with a displeased face.
Whether he was angry with himself or at painting his face, he couldn't figure it out.
Hua Yan motioned for them to sit down with her eyes, and was about to say something, when she suddenly saw Sheng Lan walking over with Danfeng in her hand, she handed a note in her hand to Hua Yan, "Miss, this is the latest news that Danfeng brought back." ”
Hua Yan took a closer look, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and chuckled: "The fourth prince also wants to come to join in the fun?" ”
"The fourth prince is coming to the capital?" Yutai Mingyue asked in surprise.
Hua Yan took the note back into his pocket, nodded and replied: "Yes, I heard that they arrived at Guanshan but there was no movement, and Guanshan is only half a day's journey from the capital." With such an obvious move, Doctor Shang doesn't need me to explain his intentions, right? ”
Tantai Mingyue was slightly stunned, and suddenly said angrily: "In vain, the prince sacrificed his life to save him, he actually ignored his brotherly love and took advantage of the situation?!" Soon, he realized that he had behaved inappropriately, and he bowed his hand.
Hua Yan lowered his head and smiled, "How can a person with wolf ambition know about Entu's good deeds, why did Doctor Shang become so simple?" After speaking, she rolled her eyebrows, got up and walked to the side, called Shangguan Zhanfeng to the front and said something, and then sat back in her place and poured tea comfortably.
Shangguan Zhan Feng immediately understood, took the sword on the table, and arched his hand to Hua Yan and said, "Don't worry, Miss Hua, I'll go immediately." ”
Hua Yan smiled and nodded, "The general is out of the horse, I am naturally relieved." ”
Shangguan Zhanfeng led the order to retreat, and when he turned around, he couldn't help but glance at Shenglan, seeing that her eyes were full of concern, a warm current flowed in her heart, and she didn't even feel the cold winter weather anymore, and got on the horse and left the Shili Pavilion with high spirits.
Yutai Mingyue's eyes turned dexterously, and she knew that Huayan had a plan again, so she hurriedly pointed at herself and asked, "Miss, what about me?" ”
Hua Yan put the cup full of tea in front of him, withdrew his hand and hid under the stove, and said with a smile: "You? Just stay and drink tea with me and enjoy the snow. ”
Tantai Mingyue asked incredulously: "You don't have to do anything in the next place?" ”
Hua Yan smiled and nodded.
Tantai Mingyue said in embarrassment: "The prince is serious about life and death, how can I be so embarrassed to be so leisurely!" Miss, you might as well send me an errand! ”
Huayan pursed his lips and smiled, "You are a weak scholar, what can you do in that sword shadow?" It's better to talk to me. Don't worry, you will have less errands in the future? ”
Tantai Mingyue could hear what she was saying, so she sat down with peace of mind. While pondering, he picked up the teacup, suddenly looked up at the painting and smiled: "It seems that the young lady has already made up her mind, and she is bound to win, so she is so idle." ”
Huayan smiled silently, looked up at the direction in which Liu Che'er disappeared, and said slowly: "From the moment he stepped into the city gate, his fate was destined to be rewritten. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. Strong soldiers, war horses, and bladed swords can't withstand the hearts of the people. Only he can ascend to the sky in one step, because the hearts of the people in the whole world support him and push him to the throne of the emperor. The will of the people is also the will of God. ”
In front of the painted face, it seemed that the last picture of Liu Che'er after stepping into the city gate appeared.
The old city gate closed with difficulty against the headwind, and Liu Che'er stopped, he seemed to hear the call of Huayan, and suddenly looked back.
But in the last gap, which was an inch wide, there was no one.
Liu Che'er turned around silently and walked forward under the bayonets of the soldiers on the left and right.
The huge street was empty, and the doors around it were closed and silent, even more strange than the previous Netherworld.
Liu Che'er silently looked at the snow marks on the ground, and then looked at the shoes on the feet of the soldiers next to him, thoughtfully.
Liu Che'er had just stepped into the city gate with his front foot, and his back foot was captured by the soldiers, and the Queen Mother was really impatient.
This did not surprise Liu Che'er, on the contrary, he felt a burst of relaxation, at least less of the scene and intrigue.
Liu Che'er held his chest high, faced the biting wind and snow, and resolutely moved forward.
The window on the upper floor on the opposite side was half opened, and the red candle reflected the image of half of the fair woman.
A pharmacy next to the aisle suddenly opened the door, and a basin of hot tea and hot water rushed out of the door, almost spilling Liu Che'er's body.
The soldiers who escorted him saw it, and did not urge, but stood still and laughed, waiting to see a good show from this down-and-out prince.
Liu Che'er frowned, closed his eyes tightly, and slowly raised his sleeves to wipe his face full of tea.
"Walk with a snack eye!" A familiar voice rang out outside the pharmacy door.
Liu Che'er opened his eyes and fixed his eyes, it turned out to be Fang Hai.
The two looked at each other, and neither of them showed any expression on their faces.
Fang Hai glanced at the soldier indifferently, clapped his hands disdainfully, entered the house, and slammed the door shut.
Liu Che'er continued to walk, and he found countless eyes hidden in the street, eager and fierce.
He smiled with satisfaction, he was not alone in this battle.
"The king of Luling is not going to the banquet at this time, it seems that he is determined to fight the court to the end." After a long silence, Mingyue suddenly continued.
Huayan shook the cup and smiled lightly, "He thought of going with Liu Yikang, but he was bitter to him, jumping back and forth in the ice and snow, and his body bones couldn't last long." ”
"King Luling is also here? Could it be that he wants to ......," Mingyue said in shock.
Hua Yan nodded, "They must have thought that Liu Che'er had left a hand, and planned to wait for the soldiers and horses of the third prince to fight fiercely with the imperial court, and then they would benefit from it." Hua Yan looked up at the gradually gray sky, and then said, "At this time, he must have arrived at the foot of the South Mountain and set up a camp. ”
Tantai Mingyue lowered his head and thought about it, and immediately gave full play to his strengths, and proposed to Huayan: "Nanshan and Guanshan, although one side faces west and the other faces east, but there is only a hill between the two mountains, and the terrain is low, and the road is narrow, isn't that a good time to annihilate them in one fell swoop?!" ”
"The soldiers and horses in their hands are not much, but they are not too little, if it is a big move, it will give them a chance to escape, and it will also affect the movement in the capital, and when Xie Hui is lured out, it will be all in vain. If you really want to deal with them, you don't have to make a big deal about it. ”
"Miss has another plan?"
Hua Yan smiled slyly, turned sideways slightly, and said with a smile: "Where do you think the general has gone?" “
"It turns out that the general is going to cut off the beard!" Tantai Mingyue stood up excitedly, and suddenly sat down with a puzzled scratch of her head, "Can you rely on the general alone?" ”
Huayan smiled mysteriously, "Naturally, you can't fight by force, if you use your brains, you can solve it." ”
Tantai Mingyue was puzzled, so she had to be cheeky and asked, "Please also ask the young lady for guidance." ”
Twilight snow flew down wantonly, spilling onto the tea table in Shili Pavilion, leaving a little watermark.
Huayan rolled up his long sleeves, stretched out his slender jade hand, lit the snow on the table, and wrote a few words.
Tantai Mingyue leaned out curiously and said, "Borrowing a knife to kill someone?" ”
