The first row of words on the white silk I saw -- the world is chaotic before Shu is chaotic.

This was the first sentence Fu Badai gave me.

At first glance, this is just a common saying, and it has nothing to do with the scene in front of me, but the reason why I took it out and watched it again at this time is because when I first saw it, I already understood the meaning of Fu Badai's writing.

He's asking me.

The world is not chaotic, and Shu is chaotic first. Shu has been the most headache for the kings of the Central Plains since ancient times, but they are the most reluctant to give up, because it has never been a place of peace, and the tradition of chaos first and then rule has continued for thousands of years. Since ancient times, Ba and Shu have taken advantage of the dangerous terrain of the Qinling Mountains, Bashan and the surrounding plateaus, and the difficult transportation in and out, forming a situation of relative isolation from the outside world; At the same time, Shu has a large number of fields suitable for farming, rich in products, and the Shu people are self-sufficient, which also gives Shu a military advantage that is easy to defend and difficult to attack and sufficient grain and grass.

At the same time, Shu is also a good place to take refuge.

Because the mountains are steep and difficult to pass, the royal army is often difficult to conquer, and those outlaws who are not tolerated by the imperial court will often flee into Shu when they are chased to the point of desperation, in order to avoid the royal law, and even in the past dynasties, many remnants of the Central Plains will be classified into Shu, and there is a restless surge in the minds of the people here.

Therefore, the special topography of Shu, military advantages and people's thinking have provided a boost for the "Shu first chaos".

This is also the reason why the imperial court has not been able to recover Xichuan over the years.

However, in such a situation, the power that first broke away from the rule of the imperial court, built a military camp, and openly confronted the imperial court was not the power of Shudi, but Jiangnan!

Although the years in Jiangnan have also been uneven, Jiangnan has been chaotic before Shudi, which is a little subtle and weird.

Therefore, Fu Badai's words on the white silk are asking me.

The world is not chaotic before Shu is chaotic, why is Jiangnan chaotic first?

Looking down at those words, I slowly raised my head again, looking at the water army camp behind the mist, and my brows were deeply locked.

The first time I heard the news of the rebellion in the six provinces of Jiangnan in the Juma River Valley, I was very surprised, after all, Pei Yuanhao still took Jiangnan very seriously, but when I really saw Pei Yuanxiu, I knew that the rebellion in Jiangnan had antecedents, reasons, and methods, which was not too unexpected.

The real surprise is-

Even Jiangnan can be so chaotic, why not Shudi?

Until a few years ago, the biggest action in Shu was just a lecture given by one person in Xishan Academy, which caused students from all over the country to attack the imperial examination, although the situation was critical, and it was quickly dealt with in the end.

Even at the beginning, Pei Yuanxiu and Luo Shi joined forces, Shengjing's 400,000 army went south, and the battle in Dongzhou was turned upside down, which was considered to give Shu a chance to take advantage of, but they did not take any action.

Since then, Shu has been silent, and even Yao Lao's defection has not caused greater turmoil.

Even in the next few years, the forces of Shu did not have any confrontation with the imperial court at all, and Shu lived up to the king's Taoism, but it was never convinced, and did not make chaos!

Why is Shu not chaotic?

Why is Jiangnan chaotic first?

Fu Badai's words were only one sentence, but the problems that could be implicated were tangled in my mind one by one, and I only felt a burst of confusion, and the originally calm breath was also a little disordered at this moment.

The gust of wind carried the river water wetly, and the white yarn around the brim of the hat fluttered gently, as if there was a thick fog in front of me, and it was a little difficult to see the way forward.

At this moment, the boat sailed to the center of the river, and there was a slight bump.

I stumbled, and the white silk immediately slipped from my fingertips and flew away in the wind.

"Ahh

I let out a low cry and hurriedly reached out to grab it, but before my fingertips could touch it, the cold wind immediately swept it away. I was stunned and could only watch the white silk rise and fall in the air, like a flutter in the wind, and finally slowly floated down.

Several attendants around heard my voice, hurriedly walked over, and said with concern: "Mrs. Qingying, what happened?" ”

I didn't speak, just held on to the wooden railing, and looked down in a daze, the piece of white silk was quickly swallowed up by the river, and there was no trace of it.

That's it, it's gone......

Seeing me like this, although the people around me were not frightened, they were all a little anxious, hurriedly surrounded me, and said cautiously: "Mrs. Qingying, did you have something falling?" ”

"Do you want the little ones to go down and fish for the lady?"

"Ma'am?"

I only felt that the voices that were close at hand sounded as if they were coming from far away, and only the sound of the river flowing was left in my ears, and my eyes looked at the place where the white silk was submerged a little hollowly, and after a while, I slowly raised my head and looked at the concerned and anxious expressions of those people: "Madam? ”

For some reason, the original anxious mood and urgency slowly calmed down, and there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment. I thought about it for a moment and smiled faintly at them: "It's okay. ”

"Huh? Ma'am, are you alright? ”

"It's nothing, just an unimportant little thing."

"Oh. Don't we have to fish? ”

"No, you don't." I shook my head, "Go ahead and get your hands dirty." ”

"Yes, the little one stepped back."

Those people still seemed a little uneasy, but seeing that I didn't look angry, they all cautiously retreated, I still stood by the fence, looked at the river again, and then raised my head, looking at the vast river on the other side of the river, the tall water military camp.

Never mind.

I have already told Fu Badai that I am a student who has not studied well, even if the world is in chaos, even if I know that there will be wars, but I have my daughter, I just want to take her to live the most peaceful and ordinary life, even if the world is rampant, I just want to hold her in my arms.

I don't want to care.

The world is not in chaos, this is the world's business. Over the years, I have watched the world in turmoil, watched the world calm down, paid my wisdom, my efforts, and even my blood and tears, but in the end, I lost my daughter and lost too much.

Enough, enough is enough.

It is already a rare blessing that my life can be picked up, and it can last until now all these years, which is considered my practice, and I can see my departed son soon, and God has mercy on me, I don't want to lose the happiness in front of me again.

I am destined to become a person who can change the times in Fu Badai's mouth, and to this day, I just want to be the most ordinary mother.

Thinking of this, he slowly clenched his fingertips, which were already cool in the wind, and calmly looked at the scenery in front of him.

It's just that......

Although I don't want to admit it, there is an unspeakable torment in my heart after all.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and a familiar voice came from behind: "Why are you standing here blowing the wind again?" ”

I turned around and saw Pei Yuanxiu walking over slowly, with a helpless smile on his face: "As soon as I can't see you, you will be disobedient." ”

Thinking about it, people don't seem to be so nervous, I also smiled faintly, leaning on the fence: "Childe, I just came out to see the scenery." ”

It was obviously separated by a white veil, but when he saw my expression, he seemed to be stunned for a moment.

Immediately, the laugh lines at the corners of his eyes deepened: "Look at the scenery, what kind of scenery do you see?" ”

I turned my head to look at both sides of the riverbank, and said slowly: "I see how charming the green mountains are. ”

Although there are tall naval camps on the south bank, the rolling green hills on both sides are actually more majestic, and that is the truly amazing scenery. It's a pity that many times, people will ignore such beautiful rivers and mountains, and just blindly look at the immediate interests.

Pei Yuanxiu also looked at the surrounding scenery, lowered his head to look at me, and said softly: "I expect Qingshan to see you like this." ”

I laughed.

Pei Yuanxiu kept looking at me: "Qingying, are you happy?" ”

I nodded, the wind caressed my cheeks with the white veil around the hood, I could feel a slight tingling, but there was no pain, I knew that I was slowly getting better, maybe it would be better in the future, this thought made my whole body relax, and said softly: "I haven't thought about it for a long time, in fact, I can live well." ”

He seemed to be shocked, and subconsciously took a step closer to me: "Qingying-"

"Childe," I turned to look at him, "thank you." ”

“……”

"I have something to say to you."

Pei Yuanxiu stood in front of me, his face did not have too many expressions of joy and anger, he was always calm, but maybe it was such an undecided storm, his eyes seemed a little undulating. After looking at me silently for a long time, he smiled, a little reluctant in his smile: "Do you have to say it now?" ”

"It's better to say it now," I looked him in the eye and said solemnly, "and I think the sooner you make it clear, the better." I don't want to be wrong-"

"Let's talk about it when Li'er comes back."

He interrupted me suddenly, and his voice sounded strange.

I looked at him in amazement, and both of them fell silent.

After a while, he coughed lightly and said softly: "Although your poison has been cured, you still need to recuperate." The person who went to find Li'er had already set off, but it would be some time before he could pick her up. During this time, you are at my place, recuperating, no matter what you say, wait for this time to speak, okay? ”

I looked at him and forgot to speak for a moment.

In fact, I have known him for a long time, and there are not many times when I really have a relationship, but I also know that he is a gentle person, even when he was in the palace, he was very respectful to a little palace maid like me, and he never forced it, and rarely interrupted people like this. But now he said these words with a little eagerness, which made me a little unbearable.

He is not as calm as he seems.

But the more I did, the more I felt I should speak up.

"Actually, it's the same sooner or later."

"Not necessarily."

"Why?"

"Time can change a lot of things." He looked into my eyes behind the white veil and said seriously, "Maybe, you can also change what you want to say." ”

“……”

I was silent for a moment: "I-"

Before the words could be spoken, he stretched out a finger and lightly touched the white yarn in front of my eyes, as if he wanted to touch my lips, but he didn't go any further, and when I stopped to look at him, he said, "Qingying, everything I said counts." ”

“……”

"I'm not going to force you."

“……”

"If you really want to leave, I will send you off and leave safely."
