Chapter 437: Past Life

The old things of a thousand years ago slowly unfolded in front of everyone's eyes, it was extremely long, extremely long, and the people and things that were passed during it were now turned into dust in the long river, and there was nowhere to find them, but Luo Kui and Jingmo thought about it now, but they were extremely clear, and there was not even a little bit of omission in the details, what kind of bitter hatred and bitter love it was.

Thousands of years ago, the princes were divided and divided, there were dozens of large and small princely states, the largest vassal state was Chen, and the richest was the Li State, between the two countries, separated by a large area of Gobi, it was difficult for people and animals to walk, and birds and beasts were extinct.

Princess Yuzhu is the youngest daughter of the lord of the Li country, she was a famous beauty when she was young, and she was even more out of the peerless city, plus the lord of the country invited a famous teacher, deliberately taught, and finally learned the good ability of both civil and military, therefore, there are not a few who want to form a good Qin and Jin with the Li country, but the lord of the country is very selective, and he chose Bai Shanglu, who was born in a poor family, at that time, he had a good character and appearance, and he was the youngest and most promising general in the Li country, with great military achievements, just that handsome and unparalleled face, he fascinated the big lady of the Li country and the small jasper, and the jade bamboo foot can be called a talented woman。

In the winter of the sixteenth year of the Li country, the snow is very large, the rare is overwhelming, one after another, the world is full of white boundlessness, the Li country is located in the south of the Yangtze River, it has never been seen such a big snow, the snow comes lightly and softly, endlessly, the great country and mountains have become a piece of vegetarian, and the straight people suddenly have a sense of ominousness.

Over the years, Chen Guo has been fighting everywhere, trying to expand the scope of the country, faintly has the meaning of unifying the country, only with the Li State has been peaceful, and this winter, Chen Guo did not hesitate to cross the Gobi Desert with heavy troops, gathered on the border of the Li State, the war is about to break out, Bai Shanglu led the troops as a quasi-horse, and the general of Chen Guo Shi Cassia Ming, the decisive battle on the border of the Li State, this is the battle of Chen Li that has been recorded in the history books, the war has countless casualties, so that the rivers and mountains are stained with blood, the world is discolored, but in the history books is just a few pens, a page of thin paper.

Since it is a quasi-horse, it is still one step away from the horse, and it will only be able to marry Yuzhu when it returns triumphantly, Yuzhu learned the news of Bai Shanglu's expedition, she was dressing up, and a hosta in her hand fell straight to the ground, falling into several sections, she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, the secret sword has no eyes, and will not go around because Shanglu is a quasi-horse, if there is a thief to capture the king first, if he dies on the battlefield. She thought about it and thought about it, and did something that was indistinguishable from elopement, and left the palace overnight to follow her fiancé, throwing the royal dignity to the border.

There is no record of Yuzhu's move in the official history, perhaps the historian also felt that this matter was too shocking and the royal face was lost, but the wild history was written vividly, and it has been handed down for a hundred years, and it has become a must-hear paragraph in the library.

Yuzhu is not an ordinary weak woman who only knows how to wear gold and silver, and listen to poetry and music, her green silk is loosely held, a few strands of hair are hanging and scattered, her face is covered with dark red blood, and her dress has been beaten by the trek, and it is already dilapidated.

A horse under her crotch, no longer able to bear a horse, only vaguely recognizable as a white horse, facing the knife-sharp wind and snow struggled forward, Bai Shanglu saw this scene before he fell unconscious, this scene he will never forget.

At that time, Bai Shanglu was seriously wounded, a blood-dripping spear, set off a sticky bloody gas, this gun did not know how many people's lives were picked, his body was full of dead bodies on the ground, and his armor and robe were covered with black blood, and the mandala soaked in blood bloomed on his chest.

The army of Li Guo was completely annihilated, he was also hit by several arrows, surrounded by many Chen soldiers, either died here or was captured alive, when Yuzhu arrived, the cold light of the two long sword dances flashed, mixed with the north wind and fine snow, piercing many flesh and blood, just the coldness of the eyebrows slightly raised, it was not the courage that ordinary women can have, she finally pulled him out of the pile of dead, hugged his blood-stained cheeks and body, two lines of clear tears and blood, silently meandered down, a pair of bloodstained hands trembled slightly, she said softly: "Let's go." ”

After that, Yuzhu wiped away his tears, his eyes were resolute, and in the face of the cold wind as sharp as fine snow and knives, he fearlessly hid on the border line where the enemy army was all over the place, and walked for more than a month before fleeing back to the capital of the Li Kingdom.

Bai Shanglu picked up a life, and when he slowly woke up, he was already in a private house, and outside the city was full of Chen Guo's flag fluttering and the deafening sound of drums.

At this time, the country of Li has already changed the world, and it is no longer the rich country, but full of devastation and mourning.

Most of the land of the Li Kingdom has been trampled by iron horses, and only this capital is left, and it has also been surrounded by heavy soldiers into iron barrels, which is already in the pockets of people.

At this time, Yuzhu was completely lost when she was a princess, her thin eye sockets were deep-set, and her face was embedded with two large and unpretentious, slightly dull eyes.

She is still as dignified and generous as before, and she is not shocked when she changes: "The defeat of the Li State is unstoppable, and as a princess of a country, I naturally want to advance and retreat with the Li State." I knew that she was not an ordinary woman, but I didn't expect her to be so resolute, when an ordinary woman encountered the situation of the country being ruined and the family was ruined, she must have hugged her husband and cried first, but she didn't shed a single tear when she said this.

Bai Shanglu's eyes were full of mist in the blink of an eye, and he choked constantly: "If the country is broken, you will inevitably be exiled to the Chen State, and we are afraid that we will never see each other." ”

She seemed to have been prepared, took out half of the luodian mirror from her sleeve, her eyes were deep, as deep as a dark rose, and a smile bloomed on her lips, with bitterness: "This is for you, you and I are one and a half, if it is really as you and I expected, then on the fifteenth day of the first month of the next year, you will definitely take this to the most prosperous bazaar in the capital of Chen Guo to meet me." ”

Yuzhu thinks, since ancient times, parting is to the flowering period and promise, the flowering period is uncertain, the blooming is unpredictable, with this promise, it is difficult to guarantee that the flowers are generally empty and lonely, no wonder throughout the ages, most of the men and women who promise the flowering period do not have a happy ending. She made a promise to Luodian Mirror, and only hoped to have a happy ending with him.

The defeat of the Li State was like a mountain, and the capital was broken by the Chen State, and the general Shi Cassia Ming captured the lord, the queen, the concubine, the prince, the princess, the emperor's relatives and ministers, a total of 318 people, Yuzhu was naturally not spared, and the princess was once reduced to a prisoner, and she was to be escorted to the capital of Chen State.

On the day of departure, it is a hazy day, the lead clouds are low pressure, and the snow is falling one after another, Li Guo has always been known for the bone red water plum, and in the middle of winter, the red plum around the house is a rare scenic spot. When the country is broken, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, the plum blossoms are sad, and the clusters of red between the vast white walls are just like the hearts of the people of the homeland who are floating with a drop of blood. The old dream of prosperity in the fog of Li has come to an end, and after a thousand years, who will remember this small country located in the south of the Yangtze River.

Bai Shanglu hid in the crowded crowd, with many people watching the prosperous and fading royal relatives, but his mood was different from others, and it could not be said that the people were applauding the country's break, after all, the lord of Li was not so mediocre that he was incapable of governing the country and the people were not able to make a living, and the people could only say that they were more panicked than sad.

And Bai Shanglu was a little more sad and sad, seeing his fiancée being taken away, and his identity as a colt became a bubble, under the heavy pressure of layers, he hurt others and himself, and it was inevitable that he would hurt more.

The country is broken, but life has to go on as usual, the officials of Chen State took over the capital of Li State, Yuzhu and others were escorted back to Chen State by Shi Cassia Ming, Bai Shanglu hid in the fleeing crowd and followed all the way, seeing the prosperity of the world, drinking the warmth and coldness of people, the hardships in the period needless to say, but at least free and unrestrained, do not have to look at people's faces.

But Yuzhu was not so lucky, she didn't know how many times she had read the sentence in her heart that the fallen phoenix was not as good as a chicken. She is a princess of the dead country, and now she has become a prisoner, and the previous nobles have long become a thing of the past, and even the lord and queen of the country have been bullied, not to mention her, along the way, even the escorted soldiers dare to do anything to her, just three days on the road, her clothes almost became rags.

Bai Shanglu followed all the way, Yuzhu's seven disasters and eight tribulations all touched his heart, he was already angry, and he couldn't help but rush forward several times, fortunately, he was not burned by anger, otherwise the tens of thousands of archers alone could nail him into a hedgehog in an instant, and what kind of Luodian mirror appointment.

And Yuzhu seemed to see Bai Shanglu in the dark when he looked back, shook his head with a light smile, and the corners of his lips moved slightly, clearly saying: "Don't act rashly." ”

Bai Shanglu thought about it, Yuzhu can ride alone on the battlefield at night, she must be a fierce woman, if she is unwilling to be humiliated, how can it be good to wipe her neck, and in a blink of an eye, she saw that her hands were tied and her feet were still shackled, and she couldn't do such a fierce act as hanging her neck and wiping her neck, so he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed secretly, as long as you and I live, there will always be a day when we meet.

When he raised his eyes again, he saw an extremely enviable scene, only to know that he was not the only one who felt that Yuzhu was beautiful, although the Yuzhu at this time was covered with dust and tattered clothes, but among many people, it was still like a pearl covered with dust, and still exuded a faint brilliance, and even attracted the attention of the general Shi Cassia Ming.

I don't know if Shi Cianming had heard of her earlier, and intended to set up a game, so that a hero could save the beauty, or if he really hit it by mistake, in short, he came at the right time, and he was bumping into three soldiers who moved his hands and feet against Yuzhu, he immediately crossed the knife, shouted angrily, and sent three soldiers to be whipped, saving Chu Chu who was pitiful, and then forced to bite his tongue and commit suicide Yuzhu, showing his true character as a hero. If it is really a hero who saves the beauty, and the hero loves the beauty, this is an eternal truth.

With Shi Cianming's care, Yuzhu's life is much better, no one humiliates and neglects her, just a thousand miles of exile, even if there is less human torture, there is also no torture in the natural environment, even if she has the courage to ride alone to save her husband, she is also worn away by the wind and frost sword and the great disasters encountered along the way.

From the Li State escort to the Chen State, you have to pass through a large area of Gobi, the Gobi Desert after the ice and snow melts, the bare rocks show a magnificent orange-purple color, the hurricane is fierce, the sand and gravel are rolled up innumerable, there is no clear spring flowing, there is no green smoke, the desolate scenery is full of desolation, the gravel is as sharp as a knife blade, inadvertently touched, before you feel the pain, it is already a slender blood stain.

Such a sudden change in scenery, so that Yuzhu figured out why Chen Guo would come thousands of miles to attack Li State, just from the scenery, Li State located in the south of the Yangtze River is far better than Chen State in the wilderness, after defeating Li State, vigorously develop tourism and Qinglou industry to bring a large amount of silver, enough for Chen Guo to take ten or eight ladies, thinking of this, she actually smiled slightly bitterly.

In such a situation, even if Yuzhu was extra careful with every step, he was still scratched by the bare rocks, and the plain white satin shoes were stained with blood. As painful as she was, there was also Bai Shanglu hiding in the shadows, but unfortunately he could only bite his lower lip secretly, biting his lips until they turned white, but there was nothing he could do.

Since hitting the stone cassia to save Yuzhu, from time to time will slow down the speed of the horse, pretend to patrol and happen to patrol to her side, and then I saw her gritted teeth and painfully walked every step, both saved her once, there is no reason not to save her a second time, it is so unexpected, but it is expected, Yuzhu let out a low exclamation, was picked up by him on horseback, galloped all the way to the front of the team.

What was her expression, Bai Shanglu didn't see it, but he saw a string of envious or jealous eyes behind her, he frowned, maybe he also felt that Shi Cassia had repeatedly saved the beauty, and he really had other plans.

When he arrived at a town, Shi Cianming ordered someone to prepare a carriage and settle Yuzhu in the carriage, so that he could avoid the pain of wind and snow, and avoid suspicion, and he himself took on the responsibility of the coachman.

Yuzhu was crooked in the car and muttered: "This person is also a real righteous gentleman, if he has bad intentions, wouldn't it be better for the two of them to ride the same horse, and why bother to buy a carriage to avoid suspicion." ”

And Bai Shanglu is thinking, where will someone really sit still, for a hundred years, everyone has said that Liu Xia Hui is not chaotic, but no one has investigated whether he has inappropriate human desires, and now seeing that Shi Cassia Ming saved Yuzhu, he must have a plan, and I just hope that he is also inappropriate.

Things in the future are unexpectedly calm, such as still water flowing, spring is blowing, when most of the land of Chen is green, Yuzhu and a cadre wait to the capital of Chen Guo, but the road is difficult and far away, and there are not a few people who die of illness and exhaustion halfway to the capital of Chen Guo, and when they arrive in the capital of Chen State, the captured people have been reduced by half, but fortunately, there is a stone cassia to take care of, and Yuzhu is not shocked one by one.

According to the usual practice, all the captured relatives of the emperor of Li will be divided up by the relatives of the emperor of Chen and the meritorious ministers, and usually the end is that the man is a slave and the woman is a maid, and the beautiful and blessed wife of the lord of the country, and the general concubine also has it.

Bai Shanglu was so worried that since he entered the capital of Chen Guo, he lived in anxiety every day. According to his thoughts, he would rather Yuzhu be a slave and a maid, so that he still has a chance to redeem her, if he becomes the concubine of the general, he can only wait for someone to give up, and it will be a hardship to see the light of day.

Finally, the will of the lord of Chen came out after a long time, and as expected, the lord of the country also has the meaning of adult beauty, and Shi Cassia Ming broke the dawn and rewarded Princess Yuzhu to him as a concubine as a commendation.

As soon as this will came out, it was really a few happy and a few worried, and Shi Cassia got his wish and hugged the beauty, so he was naturally very happy.

And the worry is that Bai Shanglu, like a big family with a deep sea, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter, not to mention that he, a criminal minister who died in the country, Yuzhu is a concubine, I am afraid that he will be a passerby from now on.

Shi Cianming received the holy decree, and did not hesitate to spend manpower and financial resources to build a new house for Yuzhu after Shifu, and Bai Shanglu tried his best to sneak into the construction workshop, but he was used to holding the hand of the sword, and suddenly changed his career to go to the mud, which was somewhat lost.

Bai Shanglu walked around the new house carefully, the house's regulatory furnishings were exactly the same as Yuzhu's residence in the Li Kingdom, and the furnishings in the room were all transported by Shi Cassia Ming from the Li Kingdom.

Because Yuzhu is a concubine, she can't go to the main door when she gets married, and she can only go to the side door, but Shi Cianming pleaded to the lord of the country, saying that Yuzhu is the princess of Li Kingdom, her status is noble, and it is a great grievance to be a concubine. As soon as this matter came out, the streets and alleys were all blessed with Yuzhu, and Shi Cassia had good intentions.

On the day of the wedding, the sky that had been hazy for a long time was clear, and the green vines passed around the beams like thick shade. In the middle of the night, the sky is covered with stars, the big red lanterns are hung high in front of the door of the Shifu Courtyard, and the dark red mist is shrouded in the night, and the low-hanging tassels form a concentric pattern, and the night breeze blows the red happy words on the wall, and there is a loud sound.

The candles in the cave room are only short, and Bai Shanglu is sad to the mirror, he only hates the long night, he raised his head slightly, and his cold eyes were full of hatred.

Being snatched away by others, naturally hatred was born, and when I thought about it, I was afraid that I would never see her again, Bai Shanglu in the dark night seemed to have lost his life, and he collapsed softly in the corner. The half of the luodian mirror was polished by him, but it couldn't illuminate the red candles in the new house.

Day by day, like light smoke drifting away, Yuzhu rarely appears in front of people, perhaps her involuntary body that day is her most unspeakable suffering. And the world has never been indispensable to join in the fun, people who chew the root of the tongue, and the people of Shifu are also good at this, chewing out the days when Yuzhu was a concubine.

Previously, she was embarrassed by her wife, and what sneering and punishment were kneeling and slapping, all of them flowed on her body, but fortunately, Shi Cianming pampered her wholeheartedly and maintained it with all her might, but she gave her a lot of faces, and finally only stayed in Yuzhu's room and gave her the favor of a special room.

Then Yuzhu was pregnant, and in those days, Shi Cassia Ming was full of energy in and out, and all kinds of supplements were expensive and expensive, all of which were moved to her room, and she never spared money.
