Chapter 34: A Dream Dumps the Dust
"Grandpa Qiu, doesn't my father like me?" Meng Tianchen suddenly asked, his little face wrinkled, as if he was very aggrieved, and his two little hands kept rubbing the corners of his clothes.
"How is that possible?" the old man shook his head and said with a smile, "How can there be any reason in this world that a father does not like his son!"
"Then how come I've never seen him, I'm four years old. The little one fiddled with his fingers, counting them one by one.
Hearing Meng Tianchen's question, the old man didn't know what to say for a while, and his face was suddenly full of resentment, but he didn't say a word for a long time.
"Grandpa Qiu, why don't you speak?" Meng Tianchen grabbed the old man's hand and shook it a few times.
Qiu Hanfeng looked at the childish son in his arms, and suddenly felt that it was really cruel to let such a young child know the news that his father had died a long time ago, but the hope of the entire Rongwu Xinjiang Dynasty was all tied to him alone, and Qiu Hanfeng really had no choice.
"Little dumping, you will understand in the future, you are still too young Grandpa Qiu can't talk to you too much now. In the future, your brothers will help you and avenge your father and those valiant soldiers. ”
"Revenge?" At that time, Meng Tianchen didn't know what the word revenge meant, but nodded ignorantly, yawned, and ran to bed by himself.
Now, Meng Qichen is no longer the child he was back then, he knows what hatred is and what war is. But Qiu Hanfeng had already passed away, just after he returned from the sea of chess.
At that time, Meng Tianchen already knew what his identity meant, and he also knew how heavy the burden was on his body. The thin young man bears the hopes of the old prime minister Qiu Hanfeng and the thousands of people in the Rong Wujiang Dynasty.
When the old prime minister was dying, he grabbed his hand and said earnestly, "Little dumping, it's Grandpa Qiu who is sorry for you, you have to carry so much when you're still so young, it's Grandpa who is too selfish..."
The purple jade pendant was entrusted to Meng Tianchen when the old prime minister was dying, it was the most precious thing in the Rong Wujiang Dynasty, and it was also the only treasure left by the Martial Emperor for Meng Tianchen.
"Grandpa Qiu, go with peace of mind, the dust will fulfill your last wish. ”
At that time, Dream Dump was already different from an ordinary teenager, his state of mind was already undisturbed, although he was heartbroken by Qiu Hanfeng's death, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face.
"The old man lived to be more than eighty years old, and he was able to find you before he died, and Jiuquan also gave an explanation to your father. It's just that I can't see you slash your enemies with your own eyes, old man... The old man is unwilling..."
That night, with the wind and rain, accompanied by the extinguishing of the candles in the house, the ancestor of the generation of literati of the Rongwujiang Dynasty, the teacher of the Emperor Wu, who was busy for the stability and peace of the world, and the old prime minister Qiu Hanfeng, who had worked hard all his life, passed away with hatred.
The old man has been running around all his life, until in the end, it is not his grandson who can't let go, but the dream of kneeling on the edge of the bed.
The last admonition and the last regret all flowed into the distance with the choppy half-step sea.
It is recorded in the "Book of the Apocalypse" of the world: the sixty-first year of the heavenly ribbon in the world, the twenty-third summer of the Rongwu calendar, the prime minister of the Rongwu Xinjiang Dynasty, Qiu Hanfeng, died. At that time, he was eighty-four years old!
The memories came to an abrupt end, and the dream poured dust away the tears in his eyes, held the jade pendant in his arms, and sat silently by Murong Qianxue's bed.
In the early morning of the next day, a cool sea breeze blew from outside, and the wind was like a soft and delicate hand, gently brushing on Murong Qianxue's face.
Murong Qianxue opened her hazy sleepy eyes, and her dreamy and quiet figure reflected her crystal clear eyes. Murong Qianxue gently hooked the corners of her mouth, her heart was warm, Dream Dump really guarded her all night!
Murong Qianxue didn't disturb him, moved her body outside, tiptoed to put on her shoes and socks, and then gently went down to the ground to freshen up.
Although her movements were very light, she still felt it when she was sleeping, and when she opened her eyes and turned around, she saw Murong Qianxue's figure.
"Are you awake, did I disturb you?" Murong Qianxue looked at his slightly tired face and said apologetically, "It's all because I'm making trouble unreasonably, and you haven't rested well." ”
Meng Tianchen shook his head, a gentle smile appeared on his fair and handsome face, and said, "I'll comb your hair, Qianxue..."
"Okay!" Murong Qianxue heard Meng Qianchen's words, a pair of big eyes instantly turned into two crescents, and her little face became red, but she was very happy.
I have to say that as long as a girl doesn't want her boyfriend to be pampered by her in every way, Meng Qianchen is absolutely good to Murong Qianxue, and Murong Qianxue is naturally happy!
Sitting in front of the bright bronze mirror, Murong Qianxue's hair flowed straight down like a waterfall, Meng Tianchen took a comb, held her hair in her hand, and combed it carefully, as if it was a very sacred and solemn thing.
Meng Qianchen's meticulous expression came into Murong Qianxue's eyes through the bronze mirror, Murong Qianxue chuckled twice, and turned her head, "Are you going to marry me off, make it so serious?"
Meng Tianchen's hand paused, and he looked at Murong Qianxue in a daze. It was also the first time he had combed a girl's hair, and he knew the customs.
"Please, it's just a comb for your hair, why are you so focused?" Murong Qian glanced at him, Meng Tianchen, who had always been smart, was not as good as a child at this moment, which made her cry and laugh.
This sacred hair-combing ceremony finally ended, and Meng Tianchen inserted a bead hairpin for Murong Qianxue, with a tassel hanging down on it, swaying back and forth with Murong Qianxue's head.
"Is it good-looking?" Murong Qianxue turned her head, winked at Meng Tianchen, and asked expectantly.
"It's good-looking..."Meng Qianchen also smiled, stroked Murong Qianxue's soft little face, and nodded.
The quiet and deep eyes were full of deep love, and the two of them looked at each other like that, forgetting the passage of time for a while, and only the reluctance that existed in their hearts remained.
"Hah.." After a long time, Murong Qianxue turned her head away, endured the burst of tears, and didn't dare to look at the dream again.
Amorous parting since ancient times, Murong Qianxue didn't want Meng Qianchen to worry about herself in the last few days, she had to act like she didn't care, she had to act strong. But Meng Tianchen knew in her heart that the more Murong Qianxue behaved like this, the more it showed the bitterness in her heart.
On the bank of the Fengjiang River, Meng Dump and Murong Qianxue stood there quietly, bidding farewell to Xuanyuan Hao and Shi Mengyan who were about to leave.
Qiu Yueyin had already set off a day before them, and his internal injuries had basically healed, so he felt bored for no reason staying here, so it was better to hurry back to the Ping Territory to support Lu Xuancheng.
Feng Lao shook the oars, and the small wooden boat slowly floated to the other side of the Fengjiang River, and Xiao Ran and a pair of centaurs were already waiting there early.
As soon as he landed ashore, Xuanyuan Hao saw thousands of soldiers and asked puzzledly, "Why are there so many more people?"
When he came, he was light and simple, in order to prevent accidents, and now there are so many people at once, it is too ostentatious.
"These are soldiers borrowed from Liang Shizi by Mo Yin, specifically to protect Shizi to go back. Mo Yin wrote a letter saying that Fu Qianqiu led the troops out of the camp overnight yesterday, and made some preparations in order to prevent accidents. ”
Xiao Ran handed Xu Moyin's letter to Xuanyuan Hao, and then said, "Moyin told us to dress up in disguise, so that we can also avoid some unnecessary conflicts." ”
I have to say that Xu Moyin thinks cautiously, sees far away for a long time, and focuses on Xuanyuan Hao all the time. Although I am afraid that my wisdom is not as good as that of Dream Dumping, my heart for Xuanyuan Hao is incomparable to anyone.
Xuanyuan Hao opened the letter, read it carefully, then nodded, and said, "Just follow the route that Mo Yin said, we have to rush back as soon as possible." ”
"Good!"
In this way, Xiao Ran let people take out all the things prepared in advance. Don't look at Xiao Ran didn't enter the Tianya Pavilion with Xuanyuan Hao, but he is busy these days.
Xuanyuan Hao changed into a coarse undershirt, his bronzed skin seemed to be made of steel, and the muscles on his arms were strong, and he looked very powerful, especially the scar, which was entrenched on it like a centipede.
Coarse linen clothes, ripped pants, wet straw shoes, Xuanyuan Hao's dress has long made people forget the identity of the prince of Zhenguo, as if he is a man who has just finished farm work.
Shi Mengyan was much better dressed than him, just an ordinary dress, and the willow leaf nails he carried with him were still hidden around his waist.
It was already noon after everyone finished dressing up, and Xiao Ran arranged for those soldiers to leave in batches, and there was a good response along the way. And he and a few people who know some martial arts protect Xuanyuan Hao and Shi Mengyan on the road together to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
"I've been riding in a carriage for so many years, and this is the first time I've ridden without a shed. Xuanyuan Hao looked at the car in the open air with relish, and then looked at Xiao Ran with a smile, "This is what you spent twenty taels of silver to get?"
"It's all good, don't you see that we still have to go?" Xiao Ran glanced at him, pointed to a few people behind him, and said to Xuanyuan Hao, "Shizi, our current identity is an ordinary person, not a big person, it's better to be a little more restrained." ”
"Hehe, good, really good!" Xuanyuan Hao smiled gloomily, his eyes were full of threat, which meant that you had deeply offended me, let's see!
Of course, Xiao Ran ignored him, turned around and left, muttering in his mouth, "Really, it's all at this time, and it's still a score, cut..."
Xuanyuan Hao's nose erupted with flames, Shi Mengyan was trembling with laughter on the side, at this time, Xiao Ran did not forget to take revenge on Xuanyuan Hao for killing him a few days ago.
This is really a siege of thousands of enemy troops, and I will not move!
According to Xu Moyin's instructions, the group bypassed the mountain from the path, there were too many garrisons there, and it would be too unfavorable for them to fight in the event of a fight. The group walked very slowly, since the departure to the sunset west mountain, they have just entered the flat territory, that is, the wild wolf mountain west of Panshan.
"It seems that we can only sleep out tonight, so let's be on duty all night. Xiao Ran sat next to the fire, looked at a few people who were slightly tired, and said in a deep voice, "It's too slow to go on like this, and I don't know if I can support it on the other side of the silent chant." ”
"Since Mo Yin let us do this, there must be a reason for him, tomorrow we will be able to go to Wild Wolf Mountain, there is no movement along the way, let's be cautious. Shi Mengyan took the prepared dry food, sat beside Xuanyuan Hao and said.
"Hmm" Xuanyuan Hao didn't say anything, just nodded and took a bite of dry food.
In the camp of the Zhenguo Army, Xu Moyin's brothers sat together and arranged to take over Xuanyuan Hao's affairs. This time is different from the past, follow up on the Malay report, this time it is Fu Qianqiu who personally goes out, and Xuanyuan Hao's situation is already extremely dangerous.
"It seems that the Golden Guard is going to be activated to protect the prince, otherwise it would be too dangerous for the third brother and Liang Mengchen's people alone. Zhan Fengting looked at Xu Moyin and said solemnly.
"Once the Golden Guard is activated, all the hole cards of the Town King's Mansion will be exposed, isn't it a bit too risky to do so?" Zheng Guanying touched his chin and also looked at Xu Moyin, as if waiting for his decision.
Xu Moyin didn't speak, closed his eyes and was pondering.
As soon as Qin Moyang saw Xu Moyin like this, he immediately became extremely quiet, everyone knew that as soon as Xu Moyin closed his eyes, it meant that he was arranging it, and he couldn't be disturbed in any way at any time!
"The route taken by the prince this time is different from usual, and even if Fu Qianqiu tries his best, he may not have thought that I would let the prince detour to Wild Wolf Mountain and come back from the side of the mountain. ”
Xu Moyin pondered for a while, and said quietly, "Starting tomorrow, a team of soldiers will be sent every half an hour to pick up the prince, each team is about thirty or fifty, otherwise it will be easy to attract attention." ”
In fact, he let Xuanyuan Hao and others detour from the Wild Wolf Valley also had his own considerations, first, the Wild Wolf Mountain was close to Panshan, where Huang Lao's 30,000 horses were stationed, Xu Mo made a dangerous move, and let Xuanyuan Hao and others dress up in disguise and secretly cross Chen Cang.
Second, although Wild Wolf Mountain is far away from the Quicksand Valley, it is not far from Liang Zhentian, Xu Moyin has already told Liang Zhentian that in the event of an accident, he will immediately lead troops to reinforce him.
Thirdly, the terrain of Wild Wolf Mountain is steep, with Xuanyuan Hao's ability, as long as he holds on a little, it will be enough for the army to support!
Thinking about it this way, Xuanyuan Hao walked from the Wild Wolf Valley, although it was a bit thrilling, but it was also the only good way to avoid Fu Qianqiu.
It's a pity that he overlooked one thing, there was another person who thought farther than him and was more careful than him at the same time as he laid out...
He couldn't have imagined that his strategy would push Xuanyuan Hao into a very dangerous situation.
As Meng Tianchen himself said, as long as he wants, no one is his opponent. Unconsciously, he had pushed Xu Moyin to a dead end.
Each of the three silver needles is inextricably linked to Dream Dumping. From the time Shi Mengyan was injured, Meng Tianchen lured Xuanyuan Hao to the Tianya Pavilion step by step, and first shocked Xuanyuan Hao through Liang Mengchen.
According to Xuanyuan Hao's kind of heart, he must not be willing to be subservient to others, and Dream Dumping will be a great help to him.
So when Xuanyuan Hao went to the end of the world for the second time, Meng Tianchen gave him a chance, and slightly like he showed his talent, he calculated that Xuanyuan Hao would definitely not give up the idea of taking him under his command.
It's just that Xuanyuan Hao is hindered by the brotherhood with Xu Moyin, and he doesn't want everyone to chill. Also, as Meng Tianchen said, even if Meng Tianchen can beat Xu Moyin several times, Xuanyuan Hao can't believe him like he believes in Xu Moyin.
However, Meng Tianchen doesn't have so many concerns, Xuanyuan Hao is the most important chess piece he lays out to the world, how could Meng Tianchen give up?
Therefore, Xu Moyin and him are destined to exist only one!
