(15) Life and death decisions
Ever since she saw the brocade that said the underworld, her heart has always been a little uneasy, after all, she is only a girl in her twenties! Although the experience is a bit bizarre, she is still very young after all! For her, 'underworld' is not just a noun, it also represents 'death'! So, these days, her heart has been very heavy.
Inadvertently, in 577 AD, Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yong, finally destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty and unified the north. The people of Da Zhou all cheered and celebrated, only An Qianqian was not as excited as everyone else, her performance may be a little obvious, and even Xiaoyu and Xiaohong, the two little girls, are a little unaccustomed to it. They often bite their ears in private, but as soon as they see the Heavenly Maiden, they will immediately stop talking. An Qianqian understood their thoughts very well, so she always pretended not to know, and these two little girls thought that she hadn't found out!
After Yuwen Yong annihilated the Northern Qi Dynasty, every day, An Qianqian would hear new news about him. For example, according to the method of governing the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he released the slaves and maids that had been robbed by the Northern Qi Dynasty over the years as civilians, and no one was allowed to bully them. In addition, he also exterminated Buddhism in the Northern Qi Dynasty. And unified the system of weights and measures in the north, and also asked all localities to recommend more useful talents to the imperial court. -- An Qianqian actually knew about these things for a long time, because she had seen them in the history books, and she had a deep impression, especially the history books about Emperor Wu's destruction of the Buddha, which also had a record: "The emperor is alone and the fortune is far away (referring to the destruction of the Buddha), and the policy of strengthening the country and enriching the people" ("Guanghong Ming Collection", Volume 7, "The Hundred Lag and Confusion of the King of the Xulie Dynasty"). In fact, the destruction of the Buddha also played a role in 'the civil service, the rent increased year by year, and the soldiers flourished. The role of the East Ping Qi Country, the West Ding Demon Rong, and the National Security and Folk Music'. It is precisely because of the successful campaign to exterminate Buddhism in the Northern Zhou Dynasty that its national strength has been greatly enhanced, laying a solid foundation for the destruction of Qi. Just these words, An Qianqian couldn't even think of himself. Unexpectedly, I will remember it so firmly, as if I deliberately memorized it. It's just that she is very fortunate that Yu Wenyong has been busy enhancing his national strength since he defeated the Northern Qi Dynasty, and there is no sign of physical discomfort. Occasionally, An Qianqian would think: Maybe the materials I read are just wild histories written by later generations, and they are not necessarily accurate? Looking at the current momentum of Yu Wenyong, how can he say that he is dead? She just thought about these thoughts in her heart.
With the stability of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the development of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong had a new idea, that is, to unify the world, that is, to unify the world, it was necessary to destroy the small Chen Dynasty in the southeast. However, think carefully. I also felt that the most important thing at the moment should be to go to the north to conquer the Turks first. After many discussions with the ministers of the DPRK and China, they finally decided to send troops to the north to destroy the Turks. A.D. 578. Yu Wenyong personally led the Northern Zhou Dynasty's Five-Route Army to defeat the Turks. When the troops set off, An Qianqian saw off Yu Wenyong from afar, looking at his mighty posture, she thought to herself: Maybe there is really a mistake in the history books. How could a person of such spirit die young? It is too unrealistic. It was this idea that made An Qianqian live five days steadily. Reality verifies the record of the history books. Because she saw Yuwen Shenju Pegasus rushing into Baishan Village.
"Snow Dancer. The emperor wants to see you, you come with me immediately. "When Yuwen Shenju saw An Qianqian, he even saved the minimum etiquette, and he didn't even get off the horse, which shows how anxious he was.
"Shenju, didn't you accompany the emperor to fight the Turks?" As soon as An Qianqian saw Yuwen Shenju, she was taken aback, and an ominous feeling instantly rushed up.
"Snow Dancer, there's no time, get on the horse, I'll explain to you on the way. Hurry!" Yuwen Shenju didn't wait for An Qianqian to finish speaking, he leaned over immediately, stretched out his hand and pulled An Qianqian, who was talking, onto his horse, and rode away.
"Heavenly Maiden-Heavenly Maiden-" Xiaohong and Xiaoyu were really worried about the Heavenly Maiden when they saw Yuwen's actions. So, they tried to stop her, but their cries were drowned out by the sound of the galloping horses' hooves.
"Shenju, tell me quickly: what the hell is going on?" An Qianqian knew that the matter must be particularly urgent, otherwise, such a calm Yuwen Shenju would not have done such a reckless thing.
"Snow Dancing Girl, the emperor is sick, very sick, and the army is retreating. The emperor was afraid, so he sent a horse to pick up the Snow Dancer girl. Yuwen Shenju doesn't usually talk a lot, so he only said the main point.
"Is Yuwen Yong really sick?" As soon as An Qianqian heard Yuwen Shenju's words, her heart suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave - it was cold.
"What? What do you mean by this, do you already know that?" asked Yuwen Shenju, vigilantly.
"No, no, no, I didn't!" An Qianqian couldn't explain to Yuwen Shenju.
"Then where did Snow Dancing Girl start with this?" Yuwen Shenju asked An Qianqian very seriously. A look of true protection. His expression, looking at An Qianqian's eyes, is a standard image of a loyal minister.
"I, I just can't believe it! Wasn't Yu Wenyong okay when he set out on the expedition that day? An Qianqian explained very far-fetched.
"Is that really the case? Didn't you already know?" Yuwen Shenju asked again with some disbelief.
"Shenju, I already knew! It's just that I still can't believe it, when I set out on the expedition that day, I saw Yuwenyong's majestic posture with my own eyes, I can't believe it, I can't believe it!"
"Could it be that this time, the emperor is really inescapable-" Yuwen Shenju saw An Qianqian's sad appearance, and said the worry in his heart in disbelief. and reined in the horses.
"Shenju, Xue Wu dared to say: You should prepare early! Try not to leave any regrets!" An Qianqian finally stopped crying and told Yuwen Shenju seriously.
"No! I don't believe it! I don't believe it! God can't be so unfair! No!" Yuwen Shenju was really grieved, he turned his back to the sky and cried loudly.
"Godju, let's go quickly! I must see Yu Wenyong! I must see Yu Wenyong!"
When An Qianqian was taken to Yuwen Yong's big tent to rest by Yuwen Shenju, Yuwen Yong, who was lying on the bed, was already angry. However, when I heard An Qianqian's scream, I still opened my eyes happily. He looked hard in her direction. and wanted to raise his hand to greet her, but he was already powerless at this time, and his hand was only symbolically raised.
"Yuwen Yong, Yu Wen Yong, how are you?" As soon as An Qianqian saw Yu Wenyong's appearance, her heart was completely cold. Once again, the thought that 'history cannot be changed' came to mind.
"Xue Wu, you're finally here!" Yu Wenyong took a lot of effort to say this.
"Yu Wenyong, you will definitely be fine. You will definitely be fine! You still want to unify the world!" An Qianqian rushed to the side of the bed and grabbed Yu Wenyong's hand, she wanted to encourage Yu Wenyong to cheer up, but her encouragement was so weak that even she didn't believe it.
"Xue Wu, you, always, know, right?" Yu Wenyong was very sick. However, his mind is clear. Therefore, when he heard what An Qianqian said, he struggled. Asked intermittently.
"Yu Wenyong, don't think about it, you will get better, you will get better!" An Qianqian has lived for more than 20 years. I just experienced my grandmother's death, but, at that time. With family and friends by her side, she was just sad and didn't have the fear she has now.
"Xue Wu, no need, comfort, I'm gone! Even the Imperial Doctor, even the Imperial Doctor, are all tied, all of them are tied, helpless! It's just, it's just me, really, really, unwillingly!" Yu Wenyong grabbed An Qianqian's hand hard, although he felt that it had taken a lot of strength, but An Qianqian really felt his powerlessness! Yuwen Yong said these words intermittently, and it took a long time. After saying that, he was so tired that he couldn't even lift his eyelids. Yes, he is really too unwilling, but maybe this is his fate!
"Yu Wenyong, you've done a good job! Really! You've done well enough. You have unified the north and laid the foundation for the future unification of the world, and your credit is indispensable! Future generations will not forget you!" An Qianqian saw Yu Wenyong's appearance, and she couldn't help but tell the facts of the later generations.
"Snow dance, thank you, thank you, be by my side, be by my side, be by my side. When Yu Wenyong said these words, he once again tried to open his eyes, and looked at An Qianqian so fixedly. Seeing An Qianqian in his heart is hairy, and he is even more empty. After all, she is an imposter Yang Xuewu! For so long, she has been enjoying Yang Xuewu's treatment, and she really feels a little sorry!
"Yu Wenyong, don't say that, if you want to say thank you, it should be Xue Wu thank you. It's you who have always cared about me!Take care of me!But I," An Qianqian suddenly had an impulse, she wanted to tell Yu Wenyong that she was not his Yang Xuewu. However, before she could say anything, she saw Yu Wenyong's lips moving again, and the voice she made was very small. She couldn't hear what was being said. She knew that it was Yu Wenyong's time limit! Her heart was so flustered. As a last resort, An Qianqian had no choice but to lean down, put his ear to Yu Wenyong's mouth, and listen carefully.
"Snow dance, don't go, don't go. In Yu Wenyong's words, most of them seemed to be begging.
"Yu Wenyong, the snow dance will not leave, the snow dance will always accompany you, accompany you!" An Qianqian said. It's just that when her words came out, she thought: Yu Wenyong is about to leave and leave. What about me? What am I still doing in Da Zhou? Emperor Zhou Xuan is not even sad that his father Yuwen Yong is dead, will he give me a place to stay? And the queen! I-
An Qianqian was shocked by his own thoughts. She made a bold decision: return Yang Xuewu's body and accompany Yu Wenyong to leave Da Zhou. As for where she's going? Strange to say, just after An Qianqian's thoughts appeared, her heavenly eyes suddenly opened! She saw that Yu Wenyong's soul had walked out of his body and slowly floated into the air. She turned back to Yuwen Shenju, who had been standing behind her, and said, "Shenju, take care! Don't let me get too far away from Yuwen Yong!" After saying this, she didn't wait for Yuwen Shenju to react, and slammed into the pillar of the big tent. She floated out of Yang Xuewu's body and drifted southwest with Yuwen Yong.
