In the third year of Yongming, I came to Yaocheng in the spring and the spring was bright. It is the season when the begonia blooms. The climate of coming to Yaocheng is unique, and spring seems to be particularly fond of coming to Yaocheng. The streets and alleys of the city are full of begonias, and the city is full of flowers when the begonia flowers are in full bloom every year. Come to Yaocheng every year to hold a begonia party in this season, but this year it can't be done.

General Fuyuan was beheaded in the General's Mansion for the crime of rebellion. His wife, Princess Jingming, felt shameless and committed suicide by taking poison with one of her sons and daughters. The whole house of the general's mansion was beheaded, and the blood flowed all the way to the street, and the smell of blood and burnt paste did not dissipate for three days.

Emperor Wenzheng cried bitterly when he heard the letter, was overwhelmed with grief, and was bedridden for three days. Emperor Wenzheng remembered the brotherhood of the eldest princess for many years, and posthumously crowned the eldest princess Jingming as the eldest princess, and entered the imperial mausoleum with the highest funeral ceremony. The whole country mourned in March. And Zhang Daocheng, the son of the Marquis of Wenxian who captured Shen Yi alive, was named the leader of the five-rank forward.

Thirteen years later, in the sixteenth year of Yongming, the Pingnan general Lin Su returned to Beijing after winning the battle, but because of the private release of prisoners of war, the court and China were arguing. Two days later, the rumors spread among the people, and the argument was divided into two factions, one faction said that Lin Su's private release of prisoners of war was a crime of treason and collaboration with the enemy, and in addition, his disrespect for the will of the people was disrespectful, and even if he had military merits, he should be severely punished.

The other faction said: Although General Pingnan secretly released prisoners of war, all the people who secretly released prisoners of war were old and weak, women and children, which shows his benevolence and compassion; Although the resistance is disrespectful, it is to repel the Rong people.

The controversy against Lin Su's private release of prisoners of war prevailed, and it was impossible for Emperor Wen Zheng to let go of the matter lightly. can only issue an order to take back Lin Su's military power and send him to guard Nanguan. A few days after Lin Su was demoted, the Di people in the north came to attack again. Lin Qingyang, the second son of General Pingnan, invited himself to go on the expedition. There was an uproar in the government and the opposition.

Wucheng ——- Lin Qingyang led the troops to march and just arrived in Wucheng, Wucheng is a small city in the border pass, surrounded by dense forests, large and small villages surrounded the central city. They settled in the small valley between Wucheng and the villages, not far from Wucheng, and it was very hidden and difficult to defend.

Lin Qingyang led his troops to pursue Di Ren into the dense forest, but the forest was too dense and Di Ren was too cunning. He gradually became separated from the others. A cold arrow shot him off his horse from behind.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying in a small cave. The arrows had been pulled out, the wounds had been healed, and the shirt had been neatly laid aside. There was also a small fire not far away. It was already dark, and I must have been dizzy for a long time.

Shen Wantang saw that he was awake, so he walked in with dry firewood.

"Oops, Lin Gongzi woke up." Lin Qingyang looked at the girl in green clothes and chuckled, and was in a trance for a while, "Honeysuckle girl? He struggled to sit up and pulled at the wound again.

"Lin Gongzi lie down quickly, or the wound will seep blood out again in a while." Shen Wantang stopped him and put the dry firewood into the fire. Lin Qingyang sat up again and looked at the girl who was playing with the fire. Shen Wantang heard the sound behind him, and knew that he didn't listen to her and lay down.

After Shen Wantang got up, she saw Lin Qingyang's bleeding wound again. frowned, "Oh, General Lin, look at the blood oozing out." After speaking, he took out the ointment and walked towards Lin Qingyang.

Lin Qingyang saw her approaching, and hurriedly said, "Honeysuckle girl, the injury down there is no big problem." Shen Wantang ignored him at all, walked behind him and untied the strip of cloth wrapped around him. Lin Qingyang was even more panicked, and hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "Honeysuckle girl, you can take medicine by yourself in the future."

Shen Wantang looked at his red ears, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He withdrew his hand from his hand and said lightly: "Young Master Lin, I am a doctor after all. I bandaged your wound with medicated medicine. “

"It's my exclusive secret recipe, and if you take the medicine yourself, there will definitely be something incomplete. So I'll do it. Shen Wantang gently drugged Lin Qingyang, she would tell him that she just wanted to take the opportunity to touch more when she saw that his muscles were so good.

Lin Qingyang felt the feeling of emptiness in his hands and heard Shen Wantang's words. He stiffened uncomfortably, and he actually felt that Miss Shen was touching his muscles intentionally or unintentionally. It must have been that he was feeling wrong.

Lin Qingyang watched the cold girl in front of him medicate him, and his fingers rubbed his muscles from time to time. A strange feeling rose from the bottom of my heart. He hurriedly accosted Shen Wantang, "Why did the honeysuckle girl come here?"

Shen Wantang continued the movements in his hands, "After I left the capital, I traveled around, and when I heard that there was a war here, I guess there would be injuries and rushed here. He pretended to touch his abs unintentionally and continued.

"Soon after I arrived at the village below the mountain, there was an outbreak of plague in the village, and I heard that there were medicinal herbs on the mountain, which might be useful."

"So I left my maid at the bottom of the mountain to take care of the patients, and went up the mountain to collect medicine. I didn't want to, but I met Lin Gongzi here. Shen Wantang chuckled, changed Lin Qingyang's medicine, touched several abs by the way, and leaned happily against the corner not far away. and Lin Qingyang have a match to say this.

Late at night - thinking of the scene where Shen Wantang gave herself medicine just now, Lin Qingyang couldn't sleep. Miss Shen was the first person to care about his wounds, and he still remembered that when he first met, she was also dressed in green clothes.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Shen Wantang, the light of the fire made the girl's face very soft, Shen Wantang was not particularly good-looking, but every time he would amaze the people who saw her, so that people unconsciously fell on her. Shen Wantang also noticed Lin Qingyang's gaze, and the corners of her mouth hooked up an imperceptible arc.

When Shen Wantang woke up, the sky was still dark. She stood up and dusted herself off and walked out of the cave, breathing in the fresh air outside. It had just rained last night, and the soil was still a little wet, and there were still droplets of water on the blades of grass that had not yet evaporated. The grass in the forest was half a man's height, and the sunlight sparsely shone through the leaves. Shen Wantang walked through it, and during the time she was on the mountain, she had almost touched the surrounding situation. It's also time to descend.

When Shen Wantang returned to the small cave, Lin Qingyang was standing at the entrance of the cave. After recuperating in the cave for a day and a night, he could not be left without a general in the army, and today he had to return to his station. Just thinking about it, as soon as I looked up, I saw Shen Wantang standing in the grass, and the sun fell on her from time to time. Her clothes blended into the surroundings, and she stood in them, cold and dusty.

Shen Wantang turned around and saw Lin Qingyang staring at her. She smiled: "Lin Gongzi, it's early." ”

was caught by someone, Lin Qingyang quietly bowed his hand to Shen Wantang, and said: "More Miss Shen to help, but there is still military affairs below, so I won't bother." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

When Lin Qingyang woke up, he said that he wanted to go back to the camp, but was stopped by Shen Wantang on the grounds that it was too late. "The road was slippery on rainy days, and I stayed in the mountains for many days.

"I also know that this mountain is steep and difficult to walk, not to mention that there are many traps set by the villagers. And the woods are dense, so there is a great risk of getting lost. “

Lin Qingyang listened to Shen Wantang's words, and agreed to stay with red ears. I thought to myself, 'Why is Honeysuckle so considerate of me?' "It's a little fun to think about.

"Lin Gongzi is going down the mountain." Shen Wantang chuckled and shouted to Lin Qingyang. "It's densely wooded, and it's easy to get lost if you're not familiar with it."

I've been in the mountains for a few days, and I've already picked up the herbs. I also know a little bit about the terrain here, so why don't I go down the mountain with you. When Lin Qingyang heard this, he turned around and thanked Shen Wantang, "Thank you for your help, and in the future, I will definitely repay the kindness of the honeysuckle girl." ”

Lin Qingyang's face was not obvious, and he thought happily in his heart, "Miss Shen is actually worried that I will get lost, and she will personally send me down the mountain, she must not be at ease with me." ’

"No thanks." Shen Wantang walked up to him and walked down the mountain with him. Shen Wantang walked in front with the medicine box, and Lin Qingyang looked at the back, the girl's thin back. Since last year, the back of Shen Wantang walking in the snow with a medicine box has always remained in Lin Qingyang's mind. She seemed to be so weak all along, like a leaf that rose with the wind. At this time, Shen Wantang looked back, and her hair was shining in the sun because of the backlight. "Lin Gongzi should go quickly, otherwise it will be dark in a while, and the mountain road will be even more difficult to walk."

Qingyang secretly rejoiced in his heart when he heard it, and the honeysuckle girl cared about him again. But there was still a thunderous expression on his face. The temperature in the forest was cold and sparsely populated, and a pair of birds chirped on the branches, and in a short time the female flew away, leaving only the male standing alone on the branch.

When they walked out of the mountain, the fiery clouds spread all over the sky, and the orange sunset stretched the shadows of the two of them very long. Along the way, Lin Qingyang was in a happy mood, but Shen Wantang only felt that Lin Qingyang was far from the intelligence, and the intelligence did not say that he was a chatterbox. When she returns, she will withhold the informant's money.

The village where Shen Wantang rested was not far from Mishan, and after going down Mishan, he walked a mile or two further to see the houses in the village. It's just that the village that used to be lively is very quiet today. Even if there were plague patients in the village, the village was not as quiet and dead as it is now.

Sensing that something was wrong, Shen Wantang paused. Lin Qingyang found Shen Wantang standing in place, his brows furrowed. He asked, "Honeysuckle girl, but what's wrong?" Shen Wantang looked at Lin Qingyang and said, "In the past, the village was very lively, and the noise could be heard far away from the village. Even when there was a plague patient, it was never so quiet as it is today. The fireworks of the past are missing. ”

Hearing Shen Wantang say this, Lin Qingyang also sensed that something was wrong. Now you can see the houses in the village, but there is no one in the village.

"It's a bit strange to say that." Lin Qingyang suddenly became very vigilant. The village in the distance was lifeless. When the two got closer, they found that the entire village had been looted, the houses were dilapidated, and there were corpses everywhere. Blood splattered onto the flags that hung in mid-air. All the animals in the barn have disappeared.

The wind gently blew the flags, and a crisp wind chime sounded in the distance. Seeing the scene in front of me, I smelled the smell of blood in the air. Shen Wantang, who was used to seeing life and death, couldn't help but shiver. Feeling the reaction of the person next to him, Lin Qingyang looked sideways, and Shen Wantang, who had always had crooked eyebrows, was pale, her brows were tightly locked, and her lips were pursed into a line. The complex emotions in his eyes revealed horror. Damn Diren, he thought. After he came to Wucheng, he had several fights with the Di people. They are treacherous, cunning, tyrannical and cruel. The tragic situation in the village in front of him was obviously the work of the Di people.

"How could it be, how could it be." Shen Wantang's voice trembled, with tears in her eyes, "I just went to pick a medicine." Shen Wantang's voice became quieter, and Lin Qingyang looked at her distressedly, no one was alive in the village after the Di people invaded. In this case, I'm afraid it's your maid too..."Shen Wantang ran into the village and shouted the maid's name loudly, and after not hearing a response, Shen Wantang's last hope was also dashed.

"Honeysuckle girl, right now, this is not a place to stay for a long time, it is better to return to the garrison first." Lin Qingyang looked at her stunned appearance and said to her distressedly. Shen Wantang looked at him with tears in her eyes and nodded.
