Chapter 161: Plum Blossoms Fall

Bai Qianyu pursed his lips and smiled, looked down at Dugu Jialuo's eyebrows, and saw that it was like a crescent moon, which was a common crescent moon eyebrow, picked up the handkerchief on the dressing table, wiped it for her, picked up the thrush pen again, swept it lightly on her eyebrows, and then put her face on the bronze mirror, and said: "Look, in your world, the popular is thin eyebrows, and in my world, what is popular now is a kind of 'silk mist eyebrows', which looks more natural, with a fresh and hazy beauty, which will make your silhouette look more feminine." ”

"Oh, really!" Dugu Jialuo exclaimed in the mirror: "It's so beautiful, the whole person's appearance seems to have changed, I want to show my brother!" Fang was about to get up, but he remembered that Dugu Xin also locked himself in the ancestral hall, and couldn't help frowning and said with a sad face: "Every time my brother comes to this day, he locks himself in the ancestral hall, doesn't eat or drink, and even I am not allowed to disturb," took Bai Qianyu's hands and said coquettishly: "Sister Bai, my brother will get sick like this, you go and visit him for me, okay?"

"This ......" Bai Qianyu said with some embarrassment: "Your brother won't even let you see you, how can you meet me?"

Dugu Jialuo thought about it for a while, rolled his eyes, attached it to Bai Qianyu's ear, and whispered a few words.

Bai Qianyu hesitated: "This ...... Okay?"

"Okay!" Dugu Jialuo answered, then took Bai Qianyu's hand and ran out.

At this time, the bright moon has risen, a round of the first quarter moon, penetrating the clouds, shining on the heavy buildings in the general's mansion, the garden rockery, the lotus pond corridor, the shadow is sufficient.

Dugu Jialuo pulled Bai Qianyu across the small bridge in the garden, and walked to the corner of the garden, there are a few plum blossoms in the corner of the garden, which slowly bloomed in this cold night, and counted the red plums, blooming on the branches, and the dark fragrance attacked people.

Dugu Jialuo walked over, stood on tiptoe, and went to pick the sparse plum.

Bai Qianyu stood behind her, looking at the moon, and suddenly felt that in the moonlight, a few points of white fell silently like petals.

She stretched out her hand and took the white in her palm, only to see that it was snowflakes in her hand, which warmed and melted in her palm.

"Unexpectedly...... Is it snowing?" Bai Qianyu stood in the middle of Mei Xiayue, thinking: "What about Wei Xiao? He was so seriously injured, but no one gave him medicine and clothes, he is working in the camp tent at the moment, or will he be like me, standing under this moon and watching the first snow fall?......"

She stood under the plum tree, and couldn't help but be fascinated for a while.

"Sister Bai!" Bai Qianyu was suddenly interrupted by a shout from Dugu Jialuo, the girl grabbed a few plum blossoms in her hand, and ordered the maid to hold a white porcelain bottle to follow, she inserted the plum blossoms into the white porcelain bottle, and walked in front with Bai Qianyu, passed the moon cave door, and then turned a corner, and saw a swarthy house, standing quietly in the night.

When the two of them arrived here, they couldn't help but feel some secluded atmosphere, Dugu Jialuo took the plum blossom vase from the maid's hand, and sent her back, letting Bai Qianyu wait outside the ancestral hall, holding a bottle of plum blossoms first, and quietly walked towards the ancestral hall.

She walked to the door of the ancestral hall and knocked lightly.

The sound of knocking on the door on a snowy night is very crisp.

Dugu Xin's deep voice came from inside: "Who?"

"Brother, it's me. Dugu Jialuo replied obediently.

The door opened from the inside with a "babbling", and Dugu Jialuo's figure appeared at the door of the ancestral hall, his face haggard, and he was a little impatient: "Didn't you say that when I meditate in this ancestral hall, don't disturb me?"

"Brother," as soon as he arrived in front of his brother, the tricky and lively Dugu Jialuo became extremely well-behaved: "It was just now that Bai Gongzi said that he saw the plum blossoms blooming in this garden, and thought that his brother was here alone, and he was afraid that his brother would be sad and sad, so he folded a few plum blossoms and sent them, saying that he would talk to his brother to relieve his feelings." ”

Dugu Xin nodded: "I know, let it go." ”

Dugu Jialuo turned sideways slightly, put the plum vase on the ground in the hall, and stood up: "Then, I'm leaving!"

Duguxin nodded.

Seeing Dugu Jialuo turn around and leave, Dugu Xin wanted to close the door.

At this moment, a clear sound suddenly sounded from this snowy night.

It was a wisp of flute sound, tactful and ethereal, endless, as if it rose from the ground, like flowing water, slowly passing through the ancestral hall, flowing into Dugu Xin's ears, the sound of the flute was clear, as if it could cleanse people's hearts, Dugu Xin couldn't help but close his eyes, listen carefully to this heavenly sound.

He seemed to hear the sound of the flute rising into the deep sky with stars and the bright moon, dancing gracefully with the clouds, turning the noise of heaven and earth into a splendid tapestry, a silent spiritual animation, and a fresh and mysterious sound.

In the sound of the flute, there are plum blossoms and snow falling.

Dugu Xin's fingers touched the door panel, for some reason, the sound of the flute, so that his restless heart gradually calmed down, the memories of ten years ago, all the time like a knife, stabbing and cutting his heart, making him painful, but the moment he heard the flute, he was slightly relieved.

When he heard a strange note in the flute and the melody was slightly sluggish, his ears moved slightly, he opened his eyes suddenly, and walked out from behind the door.

Outside the door, a slender figure, dressed in a plain dress, with long hair hanging down, turned his back to him, and a nine-turn jasper flute in his hands, played horizontally.

Dugu Xin walked over slowly.

Walk all the way behind the man.

"You can also play "Plum Blossom Falling"?" he said in a low voice, took the nine-turn jasper flute from her hand, put it to his lips and blew it slightly, and a string of smooth and beautiful melodies flew out of the flute: "You just played the wrong place, it should be like this." He stopped and returned the nine-turn jasper flute to the other party, but was slightly taken aback when he saw her face: "Bai ...... Girl, you're a girl?"

Dugu Xinmei's eyes showed a look of doubt, and she couldn't believe her eyes.

Bai Qianyu held the nine-turn jasper flute and bowed slightly: "In order to avoid the disaster of the troubled times, Qianyu is easy to wear men's clothes, please don't be surprised by General Dugu!"

"Oh?...... Hehe!" Dugu Xin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed lightly: "Dare to walk on a horse in the troubled times, the white girl is also a strange woman in the world!"

He put his hand behind him and looked into the distance: "Girl, please look, this new snow is falling, the moon is in the sky, the ground is covered with moonlight and shadows, and the moon is flowing in the sky like silver, and when I see the girl," his gaze retracted from a distance and fell on Bai Qianyu's shallow face: "Between the moonlight and the snow, the girl is the third stunning color in the world!"

"General Dugu has a good reputation!" Bai Qianyu lowered his head slightly: "Qianyu is just an ordinary woman, only in the eyes of the general, can I see this unusual color." ”

Dugu Xin looked at her without blinking: "The demeanor is elegant, showing off the group's fragrance, the demeanor of the white girl is like this plum blossom, beautiful and refined." ”

"The song "Plum Blossom Falling" has not been blown yet, I haven't heard it for ten years, I wonder if the white girl can finish it for me?" Dugu said.

"I'm just a new learner, I'm ugly!" Bai Qianyu said that he would cross the nine-turn jasper flute to his lips, and a wisp of flute sound flew out from the nine-turn jasper flute, falling like snowflakes scattered in the four fields.

Her new student was astringent, and she blew a few wrong places one after another, but Duguxin just listened quietly to her blowing.

When her song ended, Dugu Xinfang said: "Thank you Miss Bai for fulfilling my wish! It's been ten years, and hearing this song "Plum Blossom Falling" again can really pour a block in my heart!"

Groaning:

"Plum blossoms blow into whom's flute, and the clouds are blue in the middle of the night.

The pillow is not clear, and the people of Guanshan have not returned.

The sound is followed by resentment, and the clouds are broken and the frost moon is clear.

Under the shadow of the moon, the curtain is heavy, and the breeze is full of flowers. ”

"By asking where the plum blossoms fall, the wind blows all night and the snow fills the mountains. Bai Qianyu said leisurely: "This song "Plum Blossom Falling" was originally intended to entrust the pain of the border soldiers to miss their homeland, and I heard that it was the favorite of the old general Duguku. ”

"Not bad!" Dugu Xin's eyes turned red, and his voice was hoarse: " Ten years ago, he was ordered to lead 30,000 troops to the northwest to quell the rebellion, and was about to return to the dynasty with a great victory, and the rebels saw that the general trend had gone, so they cast the plague in the army, and arranged for people to spread rumors in the national capital Lidu, saying that the plague broke out at the border pass, and if the enlarged army entered the pass, it might cause a plague epidemic in the country, and the court listened to this rumor, so the border guard refused to open the city gate, and the poor 30,000 army fought bloodily, not died under the enemy's sword, but starved to death outside the Yucheng Pass!"

He staggered, turned around and rushed into the ancestral hall, knelt down on both knees in front of the tablet of the enshrined "Spiritual Seat of the Loyal and Brave General Duguku", and knelt in a burning white candle: "My father was helpless, and saw his good generals and warriors starve to death one by one, and he finally chose to commit suicide with a sword, and before he died, he shouted, 'What are my crimes? I was fifteen years old at the time, and I was in the city gate, and when I heard my father shout that sentence, I grabbed the city gate so hard that my ten fingers were scratched, and I slammed my head against the city gate, but that gate, like a ghost gate, blocked me and my father at both ends, separated from life and death!"

Dugu Xin's voice trembled, and said: "I will stay on the other side of the city gate, listening to my father gradually dying......" He turned his head and looked at Bai Qianyu behind him, his eyes were blood-red, making his beautiful eyes look a little terrifying at this time: "Have you ever tried to listen to your own relatives close at hand, and the feeling of dying little by little by your side? That feeling of being completely powerless...... You listen to him, you listen to him breathlessly, until when you call him, he doesn't respond...... That kind of death is even more terrible than watching him die with your own eyes! Because your mind is full of crazy and uncontrollable imagination of how he died!"

Tears flowed from his eyes and said: "When the whole army finally starved to death, and there was no one alive, the court ordered the city gate to be opened and let me out of the customs, I saw my father's corpse, skinny as wood, with the big knife that killed the enemy army, and finally wiped it on his neck, 30,000 troops, just in front of the border of his home and country guarded by blood, were starved to death, and the corpses were all over the mountains, what kind of desolate tragedy was that, and he escaped a hell on earth!"

Dugu Xin stretched out a trembling finger and pointed to the tablet that read "The Spirit Seat of Dugu Ku, the Loyal and Brave General", and showed a mocking smile on his face: "You see, in the end, after the death of the imperial court, my father was posthumously named 'Loyal and Righteous General'!" He sneered between his lips and teeth: "What is the use of being a 'loyal, righteous, and brave'? This is the imperial court he loyally guarded, and he told me to sacrifice my life to protect the country until he died!"

He slammed his fist on the ground, and blood marks suddenly appeared on his knuckles: "My father died all his life on the words 'loyalty, righteousness, and bravery'!"

He looked up to the sky and smiled, laughing with tears, and the tears that flowed from his eyes turned into bloody tears in the end.

"In the past ten years...... Everyone knows that I disobeyed the order of the imperial court, supported 100,000 soldiers, sat in the southeast, was not assigned by the imperial court, refused to listen to the seal, everyone watched me drunk and dreamed of death every day, singing and dancing in life," Dugu Xin's voice gradually became hoarse and low: "But I don't know that in the past ten years, I have been sitting on pins and needles every day, and I have nightmares at the city gate every night, my heart is like a knife, and life is better than death!"
